The House of Representatives Saturday
expelled John B: Clark, the member from
the Third District of Missouri, by vote
of 81 to 45. Clark is in arms against the
Government, and was with Gov. jackson
in some recent engagements. The vote
in his case is somewhat singular. Only
one Democrat from the Free States went
in favor of expulsion, Mr.. Delaplaine Of
New York. Four of the Kentucky mem.
bers, including Mr.. Crittenden, went the
same way, as also did Mr.. Thomas Of
Maryland. On the other hand, six Mas
sachusetts Republicans voted "nay," with
Holman Of Kentucky, one Republican
from Ohio and one from Pennsylvania

The Progress Of Mind

Man Is distinguished from the brute
creation by his mental capacities: know
ing far less by instinct, and being fal
more helpless during his infancy, he very
soon leaves the instructive races behind,
and ascends to the higher and richer joys
Of intellectual existence. This Is not the
result of progression in his nature, but
the developement of the germ of his be,
ing. lie exists as an intelligent creature,
and whatever position he may occupy in
the scale of existence, it is the result OF
the development of his inherent facul,
ties-in other words, the progress of the
mind.
Nor is there any limit to his progress
Are the brutes his superior? How soon
does he triumph over them by his powers
of mind. He yokes one class to his cha
riot and compels their obedience and SER
vice, and chains the untamable to his
wheel, Subduing at once their pride and
power.
Is man beset with wants and surround.
ed with difficulties? His capacities Of
mind have laid under tribute earth and
seas to maintain him. He has required
the winds 10 wave his freight over track.
less oceans, making the stars the guide oi
his path, and iron and fire and water to
hasten the appearance of his delicacies
from distant lands. While he makes the
wings of the lightning convey his thoughts
to far off multitudes. In short man BY
his powers Of mind surmounts every diff.
fcuity, conquers every foe, and supplies
his wants from hidden sources.
But mans mental capacities do not ex.
baust themselves in surmounting diff.
culties and supplying and meeting physi
cal wants. These are but the beginning
of his career. la his upward fight he
makes ali creation tributary TO his wants
not only to his physical but to his intel
lectual being. He weighs the planets
and counts the stars to-day only to give
him power for mere intricate work to.
morrow. Thus as he comes in contact
with each new object of thought his mind
is expanded and trained, and urged on.
ward in its progressive career.
When it is remembered that the mass
of mind with all of its achievements, was
once rocked in the cradle of infancy, and
that from one degree to another it Las
come up to its present commanding posi-
ton, and that it is still and will continue
to progress.
But great as may be the progress o.
mind, it is not fortuitous it is true that
in its early history it mvy depend upon
outward circumstances to call into exer-
else and to develop its powers. But he
who goes 30 further than what he is
thrust by circumstances remains for ever
mental dwarf. It is only as the intel
lect grasps and absorbs the germs Of
thought, then natures and develops them,
that it makes progress. Hence it is left
for every one to say whether they will
be great or not The same sun shines
equally on all, and the ten-thousand OF.
pcrtunities of fortune visit every man,
and the only difference between the wise
and foolish man, is that one gathers treas
ures while the other casts them away:

upon unquestionable evidence OF having robbed
the mail. He has been driving the sulky mails
for about year past first to Raleigh via Summer
vile, then to Fair Bluff and recently to Gilopolis
When arrested by the Postmaster and Deputy
Sh fl Hardie, he had in his boot letter to the
Editors of this paper from which he had abstrac-
ted years subscription, and letter to f. NJ urray

confessed to numerous robberies to amount Of
which he processes to have no idea. After exami-
nation before g. Deming, Esq, he was committed
to Jail. He is a native of Connecticut ..A

the rogue, and to Messrs Hardie and Deming for
their hearty cooperation .-FuyeHerUc Observer
