war, can hardly be read by the most thoughtless
without feeling of regret mingled with self
reproach. And among all the theoreticsl snoms-
lies and practical arrangements inflicted on our
political system by the heresy and crime Of seces-
sion, there is no evil that threatens to be more
widespread and enduring than the shock it has
given to the uniformity of political traditions,
by breaking down the mounds and dykes within
which all the political thought and activity Of the
country formerly moved, making glad the land,
whose peace flowed like a river in spite Of the
turbid agitations stirred by the spirit of party.
Now that the bitter waters of strife have broken
from their proper embankments, they not only cast
up mre and dirt but have opened an issue Of blood
in the body polite, and where is the angel who
shall descend to impart healing to the already trou
bled pool or bid its surging waters return within
their appointed bounds?

NAVAL EXPEDITION AGAINST YAzoo CITY

OUR BLoCKADING FLEET.

According to an official report made to Rear
Admiral Davis, the line Of coast guarded by our
blocksding feet is three thousand FIVE hundred and
forty-nine miles long, without counting the inden
tations Of the harbors and ports. And in this
coast there are one hundred and eighty-ni open
ings, either rivers, bays harbors inlets sounds,
passes.
The mere statement Of these facts will suffice to
give the reader some idea of the magnitude of the
operations conducted by the Navy Department un-
der this head alone. The efficiency with which
they are conducted is sufficiently attested by the
price Of all imported articles in the South, and
may also be read from time to time in the proceed
ings Of our Prize Courts. The difficulty of effec.
lively guarding the Southern coast has resulted
not only from its great extent and from the num-
Der Of its openings but has been still further en-
HANGED, as New York contemporary suggests, by
the enterprise and ingenuity Of the foreign traders,
who, enticed by the hope of commercial gain, have
constructed swiftgoing steam vessels for the pur-
pose Of eludiDg our cruisers, and finding access to
the occluded ports. Yet in spite Of these difficulties
the blockade commends itself to the justice of all
maritime nations being defective in the fullest
sense Of the term

THE WORDS OF A GOOD NAN.


Montesquieu has said that private and public
virtue is not only the foundation Of Republics, but
the condition Of their existence. The logic of the
proposition commends itself to every thoughtful
mind, and It's truth has been demonstrated by the
experience and observation Of men throughout all
ages As Burke was wont to say, with that sound
political philosophy which interpenetrates all his
political writings men are qualified for civil liberty
In exact proportion to their disposition TO put moral
chains on their own appetites; in proportion as
their love Of justice is above their rapacity; in
proportion as their soundness and sobriety of un-
derstanding are above their vanity and presump-
ton; in proportion - they are more disposed to
listen to the counsels Of the wise and good than to
lend an ear to the aattery Of the demagogues who
are to the mob what courtiers are to the monarch.
The counsels Of the wise and good are always
timely, and our eye having a few days ago fallen
on the subjoined observations Of the late DR.
CHARMING, We determined to cite them As the ad-
monitory words Of one whose intellect was as en-
lightened as his heart was warm and patriotic:
"The great distinction Of nstion--the only one worth
possessing and which brings after II all other blessngss
wish to belong to State ia the character and Institutions
Of which may 6nd spring Of improvement which can
speak OF with an honest prde in whose records may

example Of vrtuons freedom. o. save from q country
which worshps wealth. and not for true glory in
which intrigue bears rule In which patriotism borrows its
zeal from the prospect Of Office in which hungry syco
plants throng with suppication all the departments Of
State in which public men bear the brand Of private vice,
and the seat Of government 10 noisome sink Of private
RIGHTEOUSNESS and public corruption.

ask, does liberty bear generous rsfs Does 1t

Europe with undiscernDg sevility IL may have cha

lily of institutions One Europe enough One Paris

are from the eastern continent by an ocean, we
should be still widely separated by simplicity Of
by domestic purity by inward pey by reverence for
human nature moral independence by withdrawing the
subsection fashion, and that facilitating sensuaty which
characterize the most civilized portions Of the Old World

happiness is bound up in its virtue !"

THE EARTHs LAST GREAT SECRET.

Inc discovery of the sources Of the Nile is pro-
perry treated by our intelligent contemporaries as
one OF those events which mark an epoch in the
progress OF human knowledge
IL has been given to the present age to solve this
Interesting geographical problem, as also that Of the
Northwest passage; and although in neither case
do the discoveries which have been made promise
much direct practical advantage to mankind who
would be willing to spare from the records of he
roic achievement the narrative which recites the
- patient search and vigil long" of the brave and
constant men who have finally succeeded in pluck
ing from the earth the heart of these great mystic
rles, and in thus extending the boundaries of
knowledge? One by one the great riddles Of Tel
lus have been guessed, until only few years ago
one OF the most industrious of American travellers
could say that since Columbus first looked upon
San Salvador the earth had but one emotion of
triumph left in her bestowal, and that she reserv-
ed for him who shall drink from the fountains of
the White Nile" 1t has been given to Captain
Spoke, an Englishman, to realize this ultimate
emotion" as from the depths of an unknown
land be cries Eureka
AS might have been expected, this achievement
forms no exception to the general rule which de-
mands enthusiasm combined with fortitude as the
condition Of success in any undertaking of high
emprise. 10 letter addressed to Sir Roderick
Murchison, printed in the English journals re-
ceived by the last mail from Europe, the fortunate
discoverer writes
