Nature Opposing the Progress Of Man.


The following passages from Mr.. Buck
les History of Civilization indicate in
glowing colors, says the Providence
Journal, the obstacles which the prodigal-
ity Of nature may oppose to the progress
of man :
g Brazil, which is nearly rs large as
the whole Of Europe, is covered with
vegetation of incredible profusion. In
deed, so rank and luxuriant is the growth
that nature seems to riot in the very wan
tonness of power A great part Of this
immense country is filed with dense and
tangled forests, whose noble trees, BIOS
soming in unrivaled beauty, and exqui-
site with thousand hues, throw out their
produce in endless prodigality. On their
summit are perched birds of gorgeous
pumage, which nestle in their dark and
lofty recesses. Below, their base and
trunks are crowded with brushwood,
creeping plants, innumerablc parasites,
all swarming with life. There, too, are
myriads OF insects Of every variety;
reptiles OF strange and singular form,
scrpents and lizards, spotted with deadly
beauty all OF which find means of ex-
lstence IN this vast workshop and reposi-
tory OF nature And, that nothing may
be wanted to this land Of marvels, the
forests are skirted BY enormous meadows,
which, reeklng with heat and moisture,
supply nourlshment to countless herds of
wild cattle that browse and fatten on the
heritage; while the adjoining plains, rich
IN another form OF life, are the chosen
abode OF the subtllest and most ferocious
animals, which pray on each other, but
which 1t might almost seem no human
power can hope to extlrpate.
But amid this pomp and splendor of
nature no place is left for man. He is
reduced to insigniicance by the majesty
with which he Is surrounded. The for
ces that oppose him are so formidable
that he has never been able to make head
against them, never been able to rally
against their accumulated pressure. The
whole of Brazil, notwithstanding its inn
mense apparent advantages, has always
remained entirely uncivilized; its iDhab-
itants wandering savages, incompetent
to resist those obstacles which the very
bounty of nature had put in their way.
In their country the physical causes are
so active, and do their work on scale of
such unriyaled magnitude, that II has
hitherto been found impossible to ESCAPE
from the effects Of their united action.

THE Colon OF Flowers PROMOTED by
CHARCOAL "A French amateur, in the
Paris Horticultural Review, states {:
About year ago, made bargain
for rose bush Of magnificent growth,
and full of buds. waited for them to
bloom, and | expected roses worthy of
such noble plant, and of the praise be-
slowed upon it by the vender. At length,
when it bloomed, all my hopes were
blasted. The flowers were of a faded
color, and discovered that | had only
middling multifora, stale-colored enough.
I, therefore, resolved to sacrifice it to
some experiments which | had in view.
My attention had been captivated with
the effects Of charcoal, as stated in some
English publications. | then covered
the earth Gin the pot in which my rose
bush was) about half an inch deep with
pulvcrized charcoal. Some days after, !
was astonished to see the roses which
bloomed, of as fine lively rose color as
| could wish. | determined to repeat
the experiment; and, therefore, when
the rose-bush had done Towering, took
off the charcoal and put fresh earth on
the pot. You may conceive that waited
for the next spring impatiently to see the
result of this experiment. When it
bloomed, the roses were as at first, pale
and discolored; but by applying the
charcoal as before, they soon resumed
their rosy-red color. / tried the pow
dered charcoal like-w in large quaint
ties upon my petunias, and fodnd that
both the white and the violet flowers were
equally sensible to its action. 1t always
gave grca. vigor to the red or violet color
Of the flowers, and the white petunias be-
came vcined with red or violet tints. The
violets (colors) became covered with ir-
regular spots Of a blush or almost black
tint. Many persons who admired them
thought that they were new yarities from
seed. Yellow flowers are, as l have
proved, insensible to the influence Of the
charcoal. p Cottage Gardener.
The New CLAIMANT FOR THE McDo-
NooH ESTATE Moses Fox, said to be
nephew Of the late John McDonogh, has
entered suit against the cities Of Balti-
more and New Orleans, jointly, in the
Second District Court Of the latter city,
claiming $500, 900 by virtue Of an al
legged codicil to the will Of McDonogh,
which is dated November LIST, 1849, and
provides, in a few words. that the trus-
tees of his property shall pay TO Moses
Fox. eight years after his death, the sum
Of $500, 900. signed John McDonogh.
The Delta states that those who have ex-
amined the signature pronounce il either
genuine or an admirable Counterpart
The same paper states as rumor, that
similar claim for 5000, 900 will be made.

SIR: your semi-weeky issue Of the 6thinst inotce
several contributions from various localities touching
The relative strength merits of certain prom
inent as candidates for nomination at the Chicago

Now, every person has his preferences, and no one
can be found 70 Indifferent not to who is

localities rather than to persons which, of course is all
Just and proper, and natural consequence
Missouri has her candidate ONO has here, 80 with
York Pennsylvania Massachusetts, Illinois, sc.
The fIst question, however, is, Who represents the
principles OF The Republican party for it cannot for
moment be urged that should sacrifice or lay aside
a single plank in our platform in order TO conform to
the notions Of any proposed candidate for such cam IN
aud justice, have no possible claim TO noc by

hands OF the Convention, ana DOT otherwise.
Having found men who are sound on the issue TO be
tried ana who willing TO fail thereon, the

oardea M one of the most eminent Govern ora Ohio
Ever had and the expression Of the late Stat Copven-
ton Ia an evident egn that the people OF ohio know
how to appreciate him. 49,.
TIE West, one who understands tie WAYS Of the West
and knows how to provide fer them, is everywhere
considered matter of Importance. Tse West lie Of
great importance and the dveoprcnt of its resources
Is vital 70 all parts Of the Union. With the exception of
one month the West represented in the Pres
dental chair although she has msny statesmen, who
can be favoraby compared with The ablest in any part
of the United States. Although we set not much n
portance upon local preferences yet The sentiment OF
the masses of the people cannot be entirely dsre-
earded, much lesS their selfeonbdence violated Mr..
Chase has stroaY hold in the heart OF the West ana
by his great abilities and merits as Statesman, we con-
sdeT him the abes candidate for toe nisneet once
in the Union ard hope that the voice or toe people OF
Ohio at the Chicago Convention will fnd reecno.
But I'VE frequently hear it said man OF 30 decided
character Mr.. Chase will find too much resistance
in the timd and conservative elements. 10 tnat we
wonld only reply that il the Republican party bow
down before the South in the conservative element IL
will have 10 future, and defeat will nevertheless De
inevitable.
Let us further hear what declaration the South makes
by its Senator Clingmsn OF North Carolina;
Z" The objections not only against the Senator
Seward, but have equal Application TO any member
the Republican pa y may elect:
No matter even II the Republican party, from fear
of the Sourh and the conservative clements should de-
ful character the South would nevertheless still carry
on the war against the party. Therefore, no such un
manly nsinuations; wans a statesman OF decided
representative character, and with such one alone
we can obtain victory worthy our efforts.
But, cay Ohere if Chase shonld have no chance Tor
a nomination at Chicago, would Ohio notwithstanding,
obstinstely Insist on their candidate. We have no
doubt that Mr. Chase il his services are rightly appre-
cated will without much difficulty be nominated. Let
his friends in Ohio and other States earnestly co.
operate Should every possibility Of bis nomin alton
VANISH then the Ohio delegation would not Of course
obstnatey insist upon an impossibiliLy.
The Ohio delegation would then, in our opinion go
for the who four years ago, with an overwhelm-
ing majority in nearly all the Northern States main
tanned the ield-t would decide in favor of John G.
Fremont.
But let MS not expect su n a state of things let
us hope and labor that Mr.. Chase, who with radical
principles combines moderation abilites whose
pure and uDtarnshed character have placed him 10 the
front ranks of statesmen, may gorously come on OF
the Chicago Convention. With him as the Republican
standard-bearer, we may not Only expect inai We
tory but the Republican party will secure for Itself an
honorable future.
