Committee of the Senate have reported that
any attempt to carry into execution a plan
for the removal of the negroes, who were
free at the adoption of the present Constitu-
tion, (there is provision in that instrument
providing for the removal from the State OF
all who may hereafter become free,) would
be an interference with vested rights, and
clearly unconstitutional. They propose, how

persons of this description, which will be

The SILVER MINES NEAR NEvADA.-From

learn something more about the silver mine
discovered a few days since on Deer Creek,
about seven miles above Nevada City. The

quantity of silver The secoLd assay pro
duced at the rate of SO ounces of silver and
gold, worth $lS4 40, to the ton of sulpher.

at the rate of only 81 ounces of silver to the
ton of the ore. The Democrat says:

with chemicals, which merely show that the
rock contains silver; but as the process of
extracting this metal frorh the ore is expen.
sive, it is the general impression now that
nothing has been discovered that will pay
for working. The dircovery, however, de-
velops a new feature of our mining interests :;
it proves that silver in considerable quanti-
ties exists in this county and will lead to
thorough prospecting for that metal Miners
are becoming better acquainted with the ap-
pearance Of the ore, and we shall not at all
be surprised if valuable silver veins are vet
discovered in our neighborhood.

Mason and Dlxon's Line.

On the 4th of August, 1863, Thomas
and Richard Penn, and Lord Baltimore
being together in London, agreed with
Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, two
mathematicians or surveyors, to mark, run
out, settle and fix the boundary line be-
tween Maryland on the one hand, and
Delaware and Pennsylvania on the other.
Mason and Dixon landed in Philadelphia
on the 18th of November following, and
began their work at once. They adopted
the Peninsular lines, and the radius and
tangent point of the circular of their pre-
decessors. They next ascertained the
northeastern coast of Maryland, and pro-
ceeded to run the dividing parallel of lat
itude. They pursued this parallel dis
tance of % miles, g chains and twenty
one links, from the place of beginning at
the N E. corner of Maryland, to the
bottom of valley on Drunkard's creek,
where an Indian war path crossed their
route, and here on the 18th of November
1851 ninety.two years ago--their In
dian escort told them that it was the viii
of the Sioux Nation that the surveys
should cease, and they terminated accord
ingly, leaving 26 miles, 6 chains and 81
links as the exact distance remaining te
be run west to the southwest angle o
Pennsylvania, not far from the Board Tre'
Tunnel, on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road. Dixon died at Durham England

The reader will learn by the above, tn
origin of the term "Mason and Dixon

or slave territory, and usage has extende

Beauty of Woman.

Beauty has been called "ths power and
aims of woman" Diogenes called it
"woman's most fo-cible letter of recon-.
meudation." Cameades represented it as
"a queen without soldiers;" and Thsoeri,
tus says it is "a serpent covered with flow
ers;" while modern author defines it ga
bait that as often catches the fisher as the
fish," Nearly all the. old philosophers
denounced and ridiculed beauty as evan.
escent, worthless and mischievous, bu,
alas! while .hey preached against it they
were none the less it's slaves. None O
them were able to Withstand 'the sly
smooth witchcraft of q fair young face.

Effects of Cleanliness.

With what care and attention do the
featbered race wash themselves, and pat
their plumage in order! And how per-
fectly neat, clean, and elegant do they ap-
pear! Among the beasts Of the field, we
find that those which are the most cleanly
are generally the most gay AID cheerful,
or are distinguished by certain air of
tranquility and conten.ment, and singing
birds are always remarkable for the neat
ness of their plumage. So great is the
effect of cleanliness upon man, that it ex-
tends even to his moral character. Vir-
tue never dwelt long With filth, nor do |
believe there ever was person scrupu-
lousy attentive to cleanliness who was q
consummate villain Count Rumyord.
