A Beautiful EXtract-WOnlaN.

Oh! the priceless value of the love of true
woman! God cannot purchase gem so pre-
cious! Title aud honors confer upon the heart
no such serene happiness. In our darkest mo-
mcnts, when disappointment and ingratitude,
with corroding care, gather thick around, and
even the gaunt poverty menaces with his skel-
cton finger, it CLEANS around the soul with an
angels SMILE Time cannot mar its brilliancy,
distance but strengthens its influence bolts and
bars cannot limit its progress, it follows the
prisoner into his dark cell and sweetcns the
home morsel that appeases his hunger, and, in
the silence of midnight, it plays around his
heart, and in his dreams he folds to his bosom
the form of her who loves on still, ihnugh the
world has turned cold!y from him. The couch
made by the hands Of II loved one is soft to the
weary limbs Of the sick sufferer, and the po-
ton administered by the same hand loses half
its bitterness. The pillow carefully adjusted by
her brings repose to the tevcred brain, and her
words of kind encouragement revivcs the sink
ing spirit. 1t would almost seem that God,
compassioning woman's first great irailty, had
planted this jewel i'll her breast, whose heaven
like interest should cast INTO iorgcttuncss
mans remembrance Of the fall, by building up
in his heart another Eden where perennial
flowers forever bloom and crystal waters gus
from cXhaustless fuuntaEs.--STRATroN.

Dignity of Character.

The word dignity is often falsely appreciated.
1t is by many persons supposed to relate to
that which is grand aud lofty, and is associated
only with the characters and actions Of those
who occupy elevated positions in society,"
But true dignity, which is the opposite ofmean-
ness. belongs to no one condition of life cxclu-
sivcly, aul it is TO be found in the cottage as
we'll us in the palace, among the humble and
lahouring classes as well as among the titled
and wealthy of the land.
II is not to he denied however humiliating
may be the admission, that many women--and
especially to young women we address these re-
marks nay hut little regard to true dignity
ct character, that their estimate Of dignity is
at variance with TRUTH frivolous In Its nature
and destructive in its tendency. Entertaining
the idea That to be digniiird one must be proud,
that to excite admiration in others one must
make display of what is not commonly possess
cd, the unhappy victims of these ephcmeral de-
sires neglect substantial qualities and exhaust
the best energies of life.
To make n display of learning, virtue, rclig-
ion generosity. wit, originality. money, proper
ty. or rank, is Incompatible with true dignity
of character.
Faithfully to discharge the duties which de-
volve on us, conscientiously to recognise and full
fill every obligation Of our position, to do our
duty in the monotonous and quiet scenes OF
practical life, constitutes one claim TO trucdig.

The Expedition to China.

The strength of the force intended for the
third war with China is to consist, so far as
England is concerned, of eleven regiments of
infantry, each 900 strong, that is of 1900
of 200 European cavalry; Of seven batteries of
European artillery from India, and one Arm
strong battery from England, say 500 men of
three companies of European engineers, 800
men of three battalions of marines, 5000
men of a-like number of sailors to serve on
land, 5000 of five battaions of native infant
ry Of Bengal, each 500 strong or 1900 men !;
of three battalions Madras and Bombay, each
1000 strong, or 5000 men; Of 800 native
cavalry of one battery of native artillery, 100
men and 200 native sappers and miners. The
English portion Of the allied army will then
consist of lS,3O0 Europeans and 1000 natives
or total of 25,9OO men, and adding to this
10000 French infantry and cavalry, and say
half as many marines and sailors as the English
contribution to the allied force, or 5000, and
the total expedition will amount 10 3s.9O0, ex-
elusive of the allied navy, the base of operations
lying out Of sight of the coast. According to
common report this armada is TO proceed to
Northern China, and to effect a landing on the
coast of the metropolitan province of the En-
pirc, which alone contains population of 80
100000, or more than that Of the United King
dom Of Great Britain and Ireland. If Pekin
should be the destiny of the Allied army the
distance from the nearest point of the coast is
one hundred miles by roads, or rather paths
never trodden by an European soldier. To make
this long march it has no adequate means Of
land-transport, nor the remotest possibility Of
obtaining it. A miracle therefore, observes the
London Examiner, would alone convey it tc
Pekin, and if it got there, success and defeat
would be equally disastrous the first involving
the overthrow of the Chinese Government, will
the necessity of long occupation and perhaps
Of annexation, and the last the destruction O
the Allied army. But whether on the coast O
Pekin or in the capital, the army, should it con
tinue in Northern China but six short months
will have some scverities of climate to en-
counter. 1t will begin with a fine summer end
ing in torrents of rain and cycloids, and thi
followed by a winter of Siberian rigor, whel
the thermometer falls occasionally in Januar,
to ten degrees below zero. The natives of Bri
tain must be well clothed and sheltered to pu
up with this, and those of India, who never Sc
ice above sxpence thick on a sheltered put
die, must perish under it. The expedition wi
be under the direction of two diplomatists, tw
generals, and two admirals, and if they agro
their harmony will be wonderful.-Natiou1

Patent ONCE agricultural Report

The last Report from the United States Com
missioner of Patents embraces many elaborate
treatses in regard to the treatment Of soils,
crops, and other subjects related to agricultu-
raj pursuits. The rapid deterioration of soil
or productive capacity in the older States re-
ceived the attention of the "Advisory Board ="
of the Patent Office, who recommended in jan
uary 1859, that Congress should provide by
law for the encouragement of scientific and
practical education in agriculture. In proof
of the success which has attended the efforts OF
the Patent Office in this direcrion, the number
of agricultural societies in the United States
within the last four years has increased two or
three fold, while agricultural schools and COL
leges are organizing in different States, with
promise of race Of farmers admirably quail
fed for their avocation. According to the re-
cords of the Patent Office, there are now in
this country not far from one thousand boards
and societies connected wholly or in part with
agriculture. In the State Of New York there
are 97; in Illinois, 94; Indiana, II; Pcnnsylva-
MIA, Ohio, and Iowa, each have about 10.
The Zante current is a crop which promises
we'll in Florida, Taxas, and California Andrew
W. Mckee, of San Francisco, writes as follows:
"To the efforts of the Agricultural Division Of
the Patent Office, California is indebted for the
introduction of most valuable vines of the
Zantc grape, which produces the celebrated
dried currents of commerce. These are grow
ing and thriving exceedingly wcll--a most sig
nifcant fact, when it is said that this variety
Of grape is rapidly failing, and great fears arc
entertained Of its total loss, in the country
where it has hitherto been grown, the island:
of Zantc, Cephalonia, &c. Should these fear!
be realized, and this grape reproduced ant
brought to its pristine quality in California, il
is believed that the result to this State alon,
will tenfold reimburse the entire appropria
tions for that Office Six hundred and forty
three vessels annually leave the Mediterranean
for the Atlantic ports, loaded with figs, lemons
oranges, lines, almonds and products of th
vine, to the amount of S7,25O,0O0, the tota
yield frcm the Mediterranean, for all countries
being over 5000, 0,oO0, 900. II is merely aucs
tion Of time, when California will supply he

The Trouble at Mesi1la.--Order
Restored.

The St. Louis Republican has a letter dated
Mesilla, Arizonia Territory, March 10th, in
which the writer gives the following account
of the recent trouble at that place, ETC., etc.:
"Since last wrote you, scenes of an exciting
character have occurred in our usually quiet
town, and 1 have purposely delayed writing
you thus long, that might be able to give you
not only calm and dispassionate account Of
the difficulty, but also the result Of it, upon
our community.
No person could for a moment suppose that
a frontier town Of the Importance of Mesilla. is
Americans as we'll as Mcxicans, aud it is with
this class of people that the troubles occurred.
An American gambler and Mexican first star
ted the difficulty, the American pulling the
McXican's hair. The fellow then went off, pro-
cured pistol, and shot at the American. Sew
eral shots were fired in the melee, and only one
person was injured, a woman, who was killed
dead while quietly passing through the plaza.
That night portion Of the American popu-
lation principally gamblers) armed themselves
and marched through the streets, killing what
ever Mexicans they CHANGED to meet. During
the night some five MeXicans were killed; their
only oifense, seemingly, was to have been un-
fortunate enough to be Mcxicans
AS several influential persons were killed,
(all Mexicans,) the people naturally felt indig-
nant, and at one time l believe at least 800
Mcxcans were under arms in the Plaza. Under
these circumstances. it was deemed advisable
to apply for aid; and accordingly application
was made to Lieut.. Rowland, commanding Fort
Fillmore, for q company oftroops. Heprompt-
ly dispatched Lieuts. Cogswcll and Frank, with
seventy-four men, to our aid. The troops
camped near town; their appearance was the
signal for a general stampede among the gam.
blers, who left town soon after the troops ar
rived This allayed the excitement greatly
and in short time everything became quiet
During the difficulty one Pretect, by request
resigned, and our people appointed two Provi
sional Projects, one an American, DR.. l.. S
Owings, the other a Mexican, Don Yinacio Or
rantia, one of the most popular Mcxicans We
have. Under their rule peace and order have
been once more restored, and as very nearly
all the gamblers have left town, for good, thu
most desirable possible end has been accom-
plshed. 1t will be the aim of our authoritie
in future to keep this class of mcn.irom among
us. Iu fact warrants have been issued for
great many, and if found here, they will re
ccive no mercy from our people,

Mexico.

The condition Of Mexico since the war with |
this country has been pitable in the extreme.
Civil war has for over ten years pervaded the
whole land. The scene has been one of con-
fusion and anarchy, chaos in which chance
seemed to reign the sole umpire. The only
exception seemed to be the success of the youth
full leader Miramon, to whom fortune has been
more partial than 10 the contemporary Mexican
generals.
This state of intestine feuds has been source
Of embarrassment to our Government, and of
serious damage to American citizens in Mexico.
Bands of outlaws and robbers have attacked
and murdered our people, and even invaded
tho frontier. Tribes of predatory Indians have
traversed the northern boundary of Mexico,
and rendered the neighboring Territories of
the United States insecure through their incur
sions. Property and life have been at the dis
posal of the military leaders in temporary as
cendancy, or the prey of the robbers and saw
ages in the more distant portions of the coun-
try. The hesitation and indecsion of the
American Government to afford protection to
our citizens and restore quiet to Mexico have
been the cause of well-grounded complaint
The capture of two vessels belonging to one Of
the bclligerent factions in Mexico has at last
engaged the United States directly in the
struggle. The rubcon is past, and war seems
inevitable; its results cannot be doubted, and
the destiny of Mexico will again depend on the
determination of the United States.
If abandoned to herself Mexico would pro-
bably succumb to monarchy in some FORM
Either Miramon would follow the example of
Iturbidc or Santa Anna or would invite a Eu-
ropcan Prince to plant dynasty on this con-
tinent. Either course would be most injurious
to American interests, and opposed to the set
tied policy of the country. On the other hand,
there are peculiar objections to the exercise of
aqualifcd protectorate over dependent neigh
Dor, especially by Government like ours.-
The only alternative is the annexation of the
whole Of Mexico, the extension of our laws
over her territory, and the reception Of he1
people to the privileges of American citizen
ship. That such Il course would be beneficial tc
Mexico in the highest degree admits of nc
doubt, and it would heal the wounds Of civil
war, place commerce on q sure footing, and
enable the Inhabitants to develop the resources
of one of the richest regions on earth. 1t may
be premature to call for annexation, but it is
manifest destiny and our increasing popula
ton will fit us to sustain the task of regenerat
ing Mexico by an infusion of new blood, ant
better social and political insttutions.-E Ell.

The Stuffed Cat.

The Partisan papers tell singular stories,
sometimes and in such style, too, that we
a,e compelled to believe them. Here is one of
them: An old rag-picker died, recently, in
Paris. in q state of most abjcct poverty. His
only relation was niece, who lived as SER
want with srccngrocer The girl always as
sisted her uncle as far as her means would per-
nit. When she learned of his death, which
took place suddenly, she was on the point OF
marriage with journeyman baker, to whom
she had been long attached. The nuptial day
was fixed, but Suzctc had not yet bought her
wedding clothes. She fastened to tell her lover
that the wedding must be deferred she wanted
the price of her bridal fncry to lay her uncle
decently in the grave. Her mistress ridiculcd
the dea and exhortcd her to leave the oldmal,
to be buried by charity. suzcttc refused
The consequence was quarrel, in which the
woman lost her place and her lover who sided
with her mistress She fastened to the miscr.
able garnet where her uncle had expired. and
by the sacrifice not only of her wedding attire
but nearly all the rest of her slender wardrobe
she had the old man dcccntly inferred.
Her pious task fulfilled, she sat alone in hcl
unclc's room weeping bitterly, when the master
of her faithless lover, good-looking young
man, entered, $50, my suzcttc, find you hay,
