 TIE JOURNEY OF LrrE.-The following excellent rules, from the papers of Dr. West are thrown together as general way-marks in the journey of life:
 Never ridicule sacred things, or what others may esteem as such, however absurd they may appear to you. Never resent supposed in jury till you know the views and motives of the author of 1t. On no occasion relate it. Always take the part of an absent person who is censured in company, so far as truth and propriety will allow. Never think worse of another on account of his differing in poiti- cal and religious subjects. Never dispute with man who is more than seventy years of age, nor with any enthusiast. Do not jest so as to wound the feelings of another. Say as little as possible of yourself and of those who are near to you. Never court the favor of the rich, by fattering either their vanities or their vices.

At West Point, White county, on the 7th inst, ANNA ELIZABETH, daughter of James w. and Lucy c. Burney, aged IA months.
 Farewell, little Anna. Thou hast gone, but thy sweet face will not be forgotten. Toe pure for earth, thy Heavenly Father called thee hence, to shine around the throne of "the King Eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise and true God" Sweet cherub, it was hard to let her go, but Christ has said, "sufer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Hea- ven.' We should bow in humble submission to the will of Heaven, even when our dearest idols are taken from us, for our Father in Heaven 'worketh after the counsel of his own will,o and most assuredly he doeth all things well.''
 - On Wednesday morning, 2nd inst, HUGH LEGARE, infant son of Wm. N. and H. A. Kirkpatrick, aged ? years, months and 19 days.
 HEarly, bright, transient,
 Chaste as morning dew,
 He sparkled, was exhaled,
 And went to Heaven.o 'sOh that less, could fear to lose this being Which, like a snowball in my coward hand, The more 'tis grasp'd, the faster melts away"

DANGEROUS FRAUD.-W We copy the follow ing from the Mobile Advertiser and Register, It's remarks are equally applicable to New Orleans:
 It is our duty to warn those who use keros- enc lamps to be careful as to the the article of oil which they purchase. The genuine oil IS becoming scarce, and to supply the demand d most dangerous and criminal fraud is put in practice. Highly inhammabe and explosive fluids are mixed with the oil, and those who purchase such mixture expose their families to great peril, for the kerosene proper being known not to be explosive the bogus article is handled without caution, and the risk of dis astrous consequences is most imminent. Moreover, the lamp not being constructed for the use of ar explosive fluid, places those around it in constant danger while it is in use. No one should purchase so-called kerosene without submitting sample to the test of fire. Certain dealers ill Mobile are now practicing this criminal rascality, and the public should beware.

C.F The London Review contains an arti- cle on the sinews of war in America from which we extract the follwng:
 AS for the proposed loan, we need scarcely say that the attempt to introduce it into the London ket has proved a failure MT. A. Belmont, the New York agent of the house of Rothschild, has finally taken his departnre convinced of the hopelessness of persuading the English public to lend themselves to the speculation. The bonds of more than one of the Northern States are not worth more in the market of the world than the paper on which they are printed. We tell these people em- phatically that any Enslishman will deserve to lose every farthing of his investment, if he lend it to the North in this struggle. Our Government wisely resolved to keep herself out of the melee, if the unreasonable North will not force us into strife by invading grounds of offence and quarrel.

ARRIVAL FROM EUROPE The friends of Mir. Meredith Calhoun were agreeably sur prised by lis arrival here, one day last week, in good health and spirits, after an abence of over twelve months in Pairs. He evaded es- pionage, and run the gauntlet of Northern rebel hunters, by studiously ignoring the English language after his arlval in Canada: and communicating with persons of the Eng fish tongue through his French attendant, who speaks English pretty well, and acted as his interpreter.
 He brings intelligence of the rapid progress of public opinion in favor of the recognition of the Confederate government, especially since onr victory at Manassas. As he passed through London, he says MT. Yancey told him he anticipated the breaking of the blockade by England and France between the 18th of Oc- tober and the 18th November, at farthest, ir which opinion MT. C., whose opportunities for acquiring information were very favor able, fully concurs.-[ Huntsville (Ala,) Dem. ocrat.

RETRIDUTIoN.-The following paragraph appeared in late number of the Cincinnati Enquirer, which ran the blockade success fully, with the assistance of sscontraband' ' It is but repetition of a tale now told daily by northern journalist
 The cheerful whiz of the machinery of the cotton factory on Third street is hushed, and the lights, which. in the early portion of the nlght shone forth from every easement, are no more seen. The hum of the hundreds of girls, as they swarmed from the industrial hive liter each busy day, is no more heard, and the life of the establishment has depirte The ire pressible conclusion of lack of cotton has caused the lack of employment.
 This simple narrative, remarks the New Orleans Crescent, tells comprehensive story In itself it would be nothing, but as it is an illustration of numerous incidents, it becomes worthy of consideration Scores upon scores of factories throughout the North have been closed by the same cause to which the Cincin- natl Enquirer refers, and the suspension of the balance is merely a question of time. In a few weeks or months, just as the case may be, all must stop operations, owing to two plain !. and unavoidable reasons. In the first place, the supply of raw material from which to fabricate will be cut off with an inexorable hand; and in the second place, the best cus- toners these factories have ever had have be- 1 come implacable enemies. By their own inex- ! cusable condGct-because of their wantonness, | rapine and wickedness-are their manufactur- ing institutions brought to naught, and their operative industry paralyzed! Their punish ment is just, and cannot be gainsayed.

Gs5Nthe following appears in the Fort Brown (Texas) Flag of the 9th:
 The news from Mexico is alarming. It is now an admitted fact that the Mexican Con- gress has granted permission to the Lncolon government to march hostile force through Mexico to attack the exposed western frontier of the Southern Confede acy. It is admitted that the consultation of four governors, which was lately held at Guanajnato, had no friendly object in view towards the south, for Messrs. Dobado and Escandon fully understand the necessarily aggressive policy of the southern government. And it is also admitted that Don Juan Nepomuceno Cortina is publicly en- listing Mexicans in the towns of Guerrero, Camargo and Mier, for the purpose of making another foray into the now comparatively de- fenseless counties between Cameron and Webb.

Gov. MooRE's PRocLAMATIoN.-We direct the attention of our readers to the proclama- tion of Gov. Moore, which will be found in another column. It will be seen that he has wisely forbidden the bringing to the city of a single bale of cotton, and it will also be seen that Gen. Twiggs, the commander of the Con- federate forces of this department, will CO., operate with the Governor in preventing cot ton being brought here. We sincerely hope that neither the Governor nor the general will be called upon for any luther exercise of authority in the matter, as our steamboatmen and planters must know that the bringing of cotton here at this time endangers most i'm portant interests.

 ARRIVAL OF ARMS FROM EURoPE.-The Richmond Dispatch copies the following from the Forsyth (Ga.) Journal, which that paper very imprudently published.

Hence our apology for circulating it, believing that no further harm can come of its republication
 Several days since an iron-clad steamer, from Liverpool, with $ ,500 rifles and IS can non, blankets, and clothing for soldies, landed safe at Savannah. The blockadng vessels were not in sight. This is new steamer, incased in sheet iron an inch thick, and is now the propety of the Confederate States. Our informant saw the vessel himself, went on deck, talked with the captain, who told him that there were three or four more vessels of the same sort on the way and as soon as the steamers could be manned under the Confed- crate government, the blockade of Abraham I, would be blown to the -four winds.'
 ''He said that the arrival of this vessel had caused considerable activity among the mer- chants in sending off the coffee, tea, salt etc, to country merchants. while these articles are at a very high figure. He heard the opinion expressed by '.knowing ones' that in less than forty days Rio coffee could be bought in Savannah at l2d cents. Large quanties are stored in Cuba, awaiting the remove of the blockade.

SUFFIcIENcy OF PORK IN THE SoUTH.- The apprehensions of our people in regard to the deficiency of bacon in the future are not we'll founded, if we can rely upon the statistics of the 'shog crop'' of the United States, as given in the census report of 1850. According to that report, the fact appears Surprising, doubtless, to many of our readers) that of the thirty millions three hundred thousand hogs raised in all the States and Territories of the United States, the Southern Satets, exclusive of Kentucky and Missouri, produced fifteen millions eight hundred and four thousand three hundred and fifty-three, or considerably more than one-half! The number of hogs in Kentucky is repored at 2.S9l 163, and in Missouri at 1,792 624. So that, with Kentucky and Missouri, the South hogs, against ten millions in the Yankee States.

BONDS IssUEB BY THE MILITARY BOARD, Sc.-Up to the 5th inst, the Military Board had issued SS9l ,ooo in bonds This includes an order returned to the Treasury for $200,- atO. subject to the order of tke Board -mak- ing the amount S69l ,000. Add to the last amount $100 000, the amount expended in specie, in making odd change altd we have the whole amount expended by the Board and bonds issued which makes an aggregate of Sf9T .000. This amount has been expended in organizing sixteen Regiments. and money sd- vanced to McCuloch to sustain &im in the West.
 We have teard good deal of abuse of the extends, it is unmerited, especially in refer ence to their financial management. Whatever may have been their shortcomings, it is cer- tain that their financial record is unassailable, and we opine Chat the tax-paycrs in future years will bless them
 The Confederate Government owes the State of Arkansas d heavy amount and just as soon as the accounts can be arranged we will be enabled to draw Confederate notes, which can be used in paying current expenses, and we trust in redeemins at least portion of our Bonds.
 To one and all we would say, DO NOT sAcRI- FIcE YOUR ARKANSAS BONDS. They are in- sintely better than the Bank notes that are in circulation, and just as good as Confederate Notes or Bonds, The Ieeches who have been shaving these bonds will be remembered. We have class of men who are ever ready to live off of the necessities and wants of the peo- ple. Let them beware! RErRIBUTIoN will assuredly overtake them.

Fremont is congratulating the men, whom McCulloch whipped so terribly, on their grand exploit, and tells them they may put sSpringfeld" on their banners as memorial. Tyler, who was the first man to run at Cross Lanes, writes to his government of the brilliant affair at that place. We look to sec Bull Run yet become a name of glory North as we'll as South.

SALTPETER IN ARKANsAs.-On yesterday we had the pleasure of conversation with Mir. William E. Jones, citizen of Davidson county, from whom we derived some interest ing information of the saltpeter mines at the head of White river, iii Arkansas.
 Mir Jones stated that at that point there are two mines capable, upon the introduction of the proper amount of labor, of furnishing five thousand pounds of saltpeter per day. At present, operations are conducted in but one of these mines, which supplies one thou sand pounds per day. The hitter earth is mex haustible, and affords eight pounds of salt peter to the bushel
 MT. Jones and MT. Robert c. Brinkly, of Memphis, who have purchased these caves, are now engaged in the production of this valuable mineral. They have contract with the Confederate government for five hundred thousand pounds of saltpeter.
 MT. Jones thinks that within thirty days he will be able to turn out from twenty to twenty five hundred pounds of peter per day, provided lie can get the necessary numbers of laborers, to procure which is the object of his mission to this city Nashville Banner.
