BEARps AND BRONCHITIS.
From the New York Tribune.

Full beard have long been regarded as
defense against bronchitis and sore throat,
and it is asserted that the ssppers and
miners of the French army, who are noted
for the size and beauty Of their boards, en-
joy special immunity from affections of
this nature. The growth of hair has also
been recommended to persons liable to take
cold easily. 1t is stated that Walter Savage
Lander was a sufferer from soar throat for
msny years, and that he lost the morbid
disposition by allowing his beard to grow,
according to the advice of the surgeon to
the Grand Duke of Tuscany. A writer in
The Dublin University Magazine, however,
referring to this theory and to the examples
cited in its favor, states that he adopted the
same course as Lander, for precisely the
same reason, and with fair success, but is
bound 10 state hat be knows Of individuals
with long flowing boards who have not been
saved from attacks of bronchial and laryn-
geal disorders.

AFRICAN DOMINATION AND
CHRISTIAN MISSIONS.
AND

J. B. Lindsey, NJ. D D. D, has given
the public in pamphlet form, an elaborate
essay on the organization of the American
Colonization Society, the importance of ex-
tending its operations, and ed ucating many
blacks for miss onary labor in Africa. The
subject possesses greater Interest now than
it did in the days of slavery, and deserves
thoughtful consideration and discussion.
While commencing the paper Of DR.. Linds-
ley to the attention Of cur readers, we VEN
ture few remarks suggestive Of the future
of the colored race in the United States.
Before emancipation they increased in num-
bers per cent. faster than the white race
living in the same climata. This fact is
well known. Since they became free, or
selfgoverniDg people, the reverse is true,
with pretty strong probability that, if they
remain here, surrounded by al the vices,
follies and temptations Of another race,
in addition to their own, they
will be exterminated In few
generations. Waen Capt. Cook visited he
Sandwich Islands hey had native pOpula-
ton of some 100000; now tley contain
about one tenth of that number, with a
moral certainty that the last of the natives
will soon be numbered with the dead. The
Indians or aborigines of this continent are
going in the same way. All know that
many white families run out, This law ap-
plies with full force to the families of noble
men, the European aristccrscy generally,
and to those of kings and emperors. An
infusion of plebisn or other blood by inter-
marriage, is often resorted to, to prevent the
extinction of dynssties. Nature pleads ell
oquently in behalf Of temperance in all
things, and sound morality; while
the most advanced civilization,
as in Paris, Vienna and Berlin, fosters vice,
disease and human sterility. A low type
of humanity suffers most from these deep
seated and wide spread evils. Before we
engage generally in the work Cfreformipg
man in Africa, is no reformation lacking in
America that better deser yes our attention?
Man relapses so easily from christian civil
cation to heather bsrbarism, in land of
barbarians, as in some parts of Africa, that
colored missionaries will be more likely to
sink to the level of the ocean that surrounds
them than TO elevate Africans to our Amer
lean standard in this distant continent.
Withdraw all foreign aid by immigrants or
otherwise to Liberia, and its best civilizs-
ton would hardly last Fifty years, or as long
as it has been cultivated on the soil of
Africa.
Thesa remarks are made not to discour-
age the education of colored men for mis-
sionary labor, either in tho South or in the

The Cincinnati Enquirer Of the 28lh
inst. has the following paragraph:
"The bale Of cotton which wss donated
by Col. Creed Taylor, of Arkansas, for the
benef of the orphans at Memphis, and sold
in that city for 81 500, and subsequently
shipped to s.. Louis and sold there for $50,
was forwarded to this city, and yesterday
was sold on Change and purchased by The
members of the Chamber Of Commerce for
S2,O3OOS. 1t will be shipped hence to some
other city to be sgain sold for tie same
purpose"
The Enquirer states that "Cincnnatih has
contributed already about $4,000 to the
p'ague-strickenc city," Cincinnati has done
nobiy, and the peple OF Memphis will never
forget her.

CINCINNATE'S OPPORTUNITY.

A New Orleans correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, writing on Oct. %,
states that since September LIST We have re-
ceived at this point 10000 bales of cotton,
against $4,000 the same period last year,
showing q decrease in value of nearly four
millions of dollars. This the correspondent
thinks has been brought about in great
measure by the activity ST. Louis has ex-
hibited at the mater Of making liberal ad-
vances, at more reasonable rates than could
have been obtained in New Orleans; and
he might have added, that it has been
brought about in q much greater measure
by the infamous rule of the usuTper Kellogg
and bis cohorts. The Enquirer'S cores
pondeut makes this significant inquiry:
"Wbv does not Cincinnati take hold of
the one million of bales placed contiguous
10 her? For no other reason than the means
characterization. With "bTOad gauge"
direct to Chattanooga, or to a more ayaila-
HE noint and q much richer agricultural
country-Murfreesb would in a
sbo,t time be able to handle at least $780,,
600 pales. valued at S30.000,000 to $40,0 00,.
600. and two-thlds of this amount would
or could be paid for in manufactured goods,
agricultural implements and provisions.
Cincinnati can not afford to await year
after year for aD outlet South, without as
Stunning immense losses. Let her merchants
do something at least to secure q portion OF
this staple, thereby securing commercial re-
latiops with The greatest agricultural sec.
ton of the government"
1.-THE EnQuirer'S correspondent bad sug-
gasted Nashville as the Southern terminus
ofClncinnati's Southern Railroad, he would
have hit the nail squarely on the head. With
a direct road to Nashville, Cincinnati could
control heavy cotton trade. a little in
vestigadon viii satisfy the business men OF
this fact, and that they cannot tap the south
at q more favorable point.

thai the two races. 10th free, could not live

in September, 1859, Mr.. Lincoln took &C.
casion to repeat belief he had expressed
on dtff-rent occasions in his discussions
with Judge Douglas, 'yhat there is phys
ical difference between the white and black
races which l believe will forever forbid the
two races living together on terms of social
and political equality" Mr.. Stuart has

tained by Mr.. Lincoln, whom the negroes
