PRESIDENT BUCHANAN.

The Salem Advocote gives the follow
ing accurate and concise enumeration of
Mr.. Buchanan's labors MS President of
the United States:
ale has accomplished everything he
proposed in the outset, so far as the pub
lie agencies have rested with him; he has
conducted our affairs, both at home and
abroad, with prudence, sagacity, and an
eye single TO The honor and welfare of the
nation; be has preserved international
peace and domestic harmony through the
most perplexing difficulties and delicate
complications-he has met every political
issue of the times manfully and honestly,
rejected all temporizing policy in dealing
with them, and firmly adhered to his con
victious of public duty, regardless of per-
sonal popularity and local prcjudiccs. He
has up held tie integrity of the constitu-
ton, preserved the Union unimpaired, and
will transmit TO his successor an example
ofoficial purity and patriotism, unsurpasa-
elin-oe-re republican annals. lie ha--done
oil that an honest,'aad uayle statesman
could do, in few evontful years, TO car
~ out the traditional policy of the gov
eminent; and, on his own behalf, he asks
of his fellow-citizens nothing moro than to
be permitted to retire to the walks of
private life, and enjoy with them the
fruits and blessings Of this liberal policy

WHO ARE Tue zoUAvEs9

In late issue of the News we gave a
brief historical sketch Of GARIBALDI and
corps of ChaSseurs DIES AlpS, who have
rendered the most signal services TO the
Allied army in the present Italian war.
But scarcely less effective and daring are
the Zouaves. In every great battle their
deeds of heroism and valor constitute
very interesting feature of the reports
sent by subordinates to their superiors in
command; and hence the inquiry, who
are the Zouavcs? is often propounded,
and now for the reply:
The Zouaves are all French soldiers.
They are selected from among the old
campaigners Of the Imperial army, and
are distinguished for their fine physical
development and tried courage; and their
acts in tho present war certainly prove
what their appearance would indicate, the
most reckless, selfroliant and perfect in
fantry that Europe can produce.
The dress of tho Zouave is of the Arab
pattern; the cap is loose skull cap of
scarlet felt with tassel; over this, when
in full dress, turban is worn; cloth
vest and loose jacket enyelop the body,
leaving the neck unincumbered by collar,
stock or cravat, and the arms free to
move; the pants are scarlet colored, and
loose, after the oriental pattern, and tuck
ed under carriers like those of the foot ri
fes of the Guard; the overcoat is loose
cloak, with a hood similar TO that worn by
the ChdSSeurS. The Zouayes say their
dress is the most convenient one that can
be adopted, and prefer it, unique as il
may be, to any other. With his graceful
dress, soldierly bearing, and vigilant atti-
tude, the Zouave at an outpost, is the beau
ideal of n soldier. Their movements are
the most light aud graceful known. They
march with long stride, but an extreme
ly agile one, the foot seeming scarcely to
touch the ground, and their marches from
point to point are made apparently with
out fatigue. The Zouaves, as above init
mated, combine in their character that
solid ensemble and reckless daredevil in
dividuality, withqyAa. activity and energy,
that render them alike formidable when
attacked or attacking in a mass, or defend
ing position in most desperate hand to
hand encounter, and it is accounted one
of the greatest honors with the enemy to
have assisted in defeating the Zouaves.

why slavery VIII Not BE Extended.

The distinguished ALEX. H. STEPHENS, of
Georgia, made n speech at Augusta, in that
State, few days since, on the occasion of his
retiring from Congress, in the course of which
he stated truth that we have many times
striven to Impress upon the public mind. 1t is
that the South have not negroes with which to
make new slave States. Mr.. STEPHENS Ian
guago was that, "There is very little prospect
of the South settling any territory outside of
Texas; in fact, little or no prospect at all, un-
less we increase our African Stock" and
again, =" If there are but few more slave States,
it is not because Of aboltionism or the Wilmot
proviso, but simply for the want of people to
settle them. They could not make States
without people; rivers ar 4 mountains do not
make them and slave States cannot be made
without Africans" We have said this same
thing, in effect, hundred times, to show how
useless is abolitionism to prevent the extension
Of slavery. We doubt, even, If the whole Of
Texas will be slave. The western half of it is
likely to be free. even though there were negroes
to carry there, so ill-adaptod is it to slave LABOR
But, however we'll adapted any new terri DRY
may be to this labor, the labor cannot be had in
quantities to erect slave States. If there be any
territory ever so well adapted to this labor, it
cannot be made available without, as Mr.. STE
PHESs says, an increase Of African stock
How utterly worthless, then, has abolitionism
been from the beginning, either to abolish sla-
very anywhere, or to circumscribe its limits. 1t
has not made one negro or one foot of soil free.
The limits of slavery eircumscribed without
its agency. But were they not, its agency wo'd
be powerless to circumscribe them. I" If there
be but few moro slave States"-we repeat the
declaration of Mr.. STEPHESs-"it will not be
because of abolitionism or the Wilmot provso,
but simply for the want Of people to settle them"
Were negroes plenty, slave States might be
multiplied indefinitely for all that abolitionism
could do to the contrary. [Det, Free Press.

WHAT JAOh TRUST lid I'm Tic
10th Of June last one of the most severe
ffosts ever known al that season Of the
year, visited our gardens and fields, in
somuch that an almost total annihilation
of every green thing seemed apparent;
and croakers, grumblers, and snivelers,
who have had an existence numerously
during and since the days Of Moses, found
abundant food for complainings and
alleging that Providence
who is always benignant and kind-was
about TO curse the earth with famine, and
that we all through want should shriyel
up into mummies-a horrible spectacle
and skin an bones alone left of bodies
remarkable for their rotundity and beauty
of symmetry. Now, let those grumblers
and snivelers just cast their eyes over the
fields of the courageous, industrious far
mer, and listen q moment while We tell
them what Jack Frost has done. To be
sure, he killed now and then spot in the
wheat field, but then he also killed the
midge-the great pest of the farmer
which has latterly destroyed hundreds
and thousands of fields of wheat and
rendered the crop unworthy of harvest.
Now, the berry is of an uncommon size
and plumpness, undisturbed by insect,
thus affording much greater yield than
for half dozen years past thanks to
Jack Frost and cool dry weather, during
the critical days of its growth 1t also
killed the vines and more tender plants in
the gardens and fields, but at the same
time it put an innumerable number Of
bugs and insects that usually infest them,
on an extremely short allowance, and
caused their death by actual starvation,
thus measurably protecting the crops i'll
future. II killed the fruit in the orchard.
Had this not been the case, many of the
trees, on account of the great burden on
their branches, would have been broken
down and ruined. Now in most cases a
suficiency is left for the good of the tree,
or in case of the entire destruction of the
fruit, a greater growth of wood than 9th
erwise will take place, and fruit in great
er abundance and richer variety, will be
the product of the next SeaseR:- Il in
jured the grses in the meadows; yes, and
il destroyed myriads of grasshoppers, too,
just beginning their existence, of which
we should otherwise have suffered unusu-
ally on account of their great numbers,
and our fields, in measure, laid waste
by their rayages. 1t killed to the ground
corn and potatoes; true, but to-day the
corn stands higher, has better color, a
more vigorous shoot, and potatoes more
iuxuriant growth, than at this time for
several years past, resulting from the ex-
tremely favorable weather therefor, during
the four weeks past, and the promise of a
richer and moro abundant harvest of all
necessarios was never more cheering.
So let the snivelcr stop his whining,
and the croaker his complaining and
ever hereafter trust the weather-and the
crops to him "who docth all things WELL"
