WHAT THE "rIACE" mRE HAVE Do.E.
The Commissioners 10 tho "Poaeo Congress
were much amused By the pretended report oil
their proceedings Of yesterday in The sensation
uepers of Nsw.York to-day. The material facts
were "a follows: Mr. Seldom Of Virginia pre-
scnted a proposition covering the resolutions oil
his State. and urged the immediate action 81 Inc

nothing lees, and she wanted y prompt and dc
csiye expression here. Mr.. Smith Of Indiana
deprecated this precipi.ate mode Of proceeding,
md thought 10 calculated 10 defeat tho very OBJ
iect for which the Convention had been called.
Nessrs Chsge, Rufin, and others sustained this
view, and finally, Mr.. Guthrie, after judicious
and conciliatory speech, moved the reference OF
this and all similar propositions TO Committee
Of one from each State, TO be- selected by the
different delegations. lt will be seen TINT
This yersiou difcs radically from that generally

OF the csmmunes of Mentone Ind Roquebrune in
Monaco, by the Prince of nat little State, ia the
subject of conversation just now. Monaco is stu
ate in North Italy, betw cen Nice and Genoa, Dor
derng on the Mediterranean. It has an area OF
fifty three square miles, and population of from
seven to eight thousand. From these the Prince
draws his revenues, which he spends in the cafes
and salons Of Paris-residing here half the year
for his tastes enable him to live no where else,
being what would be called in America "a fast
man, The sale, no doubt has been compelled by
his occasionally running shortn and contracting
various pecunlary obligations OF % honor" which
the labors of his subjects could not well relieve
Certainly the gayety of Paris is far more attractive
than the rough and solitary grandeur of Monaco,
and we cannot cenBure the taste of him who pre-
fers it, whatever we may think Of the hard neglect
of his subjecs.
In the way OF comfort, Paris will not compare
with London. There is more to be SEEM heard and
enjoyed bnt then you must not expect to find it at
nome. In these wintry days one does not find
thelr deserted -places-whcre q fire is never
made-thelr naked, Waxed floors and stone walls
to be compared to the carpeted and curtained
lodgings and cheerful coal fire in the grate which
one meets with in the English metropolis. Wood
is scarce and dear, being sold by the pound and a
good lire would cost about as much as half dozen
good dinners; the mineral coal is earthly and atey,
fore stops up his chimney and sets brasier of
and asphyxia through the day that is, il he re-
mains at home, but this he seldom does, the CALLER

him abroad, and abroad he goes, coming home

Weather and Crops
The Bastrop Dispatch OF Thursday last

The Bastrop Dispatch of Thursday last says.
The weather has been most delightful for thess
past week, and planters are progressing rapidly
with their preparations for future crop. We nm
derstand there is pretty general purpose to plant
larger corn crop than heretofore
The Hourna Civil; Guard of Thursday says.
As the weather is generally the introduction No.
a conversation we will not neglect to say that IT'S
exceedingly pleasant at present. Planters are do
ing good business in way of work. This saa-s
oons are coming up fast, and seem to be irlsa bef

large crop of sugar. Can we look for large prices
The Attakapas Register Of Thursday has The
following:
We are glad to learn that our planters consider
the present spell of weather propitious for fne
crops of corn and cane the coming season. The,
seed cane, as we have previously stated, has kept
remarkably well the past winter, while great eea-=
fdeuce is entertained in the stubble or raitoon.-
Corn planting is going rapidly, and kitchen gar
dens begin to show well for the season. In trRfhs
the prospects of good crops, fine gardens and nh-s
interrupted health, to judge from present appear
ances, were never more t1attering.

bluster, much attached to their church, but more
10 Their money. French hating peoples and who
hold it to be part of their religion to advance
British interests everywhere, whether under the
name OF philanthropy or Of commerce. Just now
they would rather see Syria depopulated than that
the French should remain there although they
have at lenght consented to a two months further
occupation.
AT a meeting Of the cotton spnners and manu-
facturers at Blackburne and the neighboring dis
trlcts, reduction OF five per cent in the wages OF
Workmen was resolved upon. Already immense
stocks OF goods cucumber the warehouses; which,
owing to the falling off of the demand in America,
they cannot dispose of. But they look forward to
the period October nexD which is to put into
operation the commercial treaty with France, when
those goods will at once be thrown upon that
market
This has produced great uneasiness among the
French manufacturers, who fear that such course
wonld prove their ruin. Accordingly, the Minister
OF Public Works has been addressed upon the sub
ject and, in his reply, he the petitioners
that although such should be the case, the goods
thus forced into France would not find buyers.
This, | must confess, is rather an evasion than
sound reply to the question. 1t cannot be doubted
that should our manufacturers here in England be
compelled thus to force their products into France,
not only would they be prepared to sustain great
loss, but the capitalists there would buy them up
upon speculation, send them to America, and thus
at once in ure both the manufacturer in New Eng
land and in France.
You will ace from this how seriously England and
France are affected by trans Atlantic affairs, and
how certain it is that the Governments of these
countries will be forced into some commercial re-
lationa with the seeding States. 1t is not merely
the demand for cotton, but well for market for
their fabrics, in which they are interested. Let
your new Government act with wise reference to
these facts, and take advantage of them to concili
ate foreign powers. They may do it by modera-
ton and prudence. A. F. K.

"An industrious girl will make poor man rich
while lazy girl will make rich man poor" This
delectabe and original morsel ! take from last Mon

is correctness. In the first place woman may be
industrious, and yet be extravagant or a poor
manager. Industry without system would avail little
in gathering riches A lazy woman will not ne
cessarily make q rich man poor, for though toe
lazy to work herself she may possess sufficient
management to have it correctly done, without ia
costing her one hour of bodily labor. While, with

If you have to toll to get bread for the little

The truth is simply this, Crescent you Of the
male sex are much fonder of carping at the ex-
traVagances and follies of US poor women than
you of adding up dime for dime your own little
expenditures, and seeing what they will amount
to. People who live in glass houses should not
