UNGALLANT. The Augusta Constitutionalis thus piches igilte Know Nothings: There is another featnre of Know Nothingism Which should arouse the indignation and scorn ofre'very chivalrofs heart, and stir, up the pro. foindest sentiments of disgast.in every social cirule, ,nd around every family- hearthstone. - This feature is the proscription of Roman Cath olic females. It' was not enough for Know Nothngi m to make war upon Roman Catholic vole61 and foreign born voters, and those for einnerswho might desire, under otr benign and liberal naturalization laws, to become citizens. But it umst also take jurisdiction of the matri. nroi.d department. It must invade the inmost suettutry of tha heart, and hedge in its impulses am( yearnings within the pale of Proteatatntism social life. The beautiful, the amiable, the vir ttfrois and -efined, of the Roman Catholic per su~sion,-ato virtually denounced as unlit. to he wives of American citizens-unlit~ to be moth ers of those wvho taf becalled oin to hold office, and aid, by their intelligence and patriot:sn, in conductinthe affairs of our coittuon country. According td the N.aional Knot': Nothing Con stilitaion, (see Article 3, Sec. 1.) no man can be a nejmber who wrts born of Roman Catholic parents, or reared under Roman Catholic infln enee, or united in marriage with a Roman Catho lij... Fur the good of "the American cause," Stato, District, or Territorial Councils may, in this lust..respect, matke an eXeeptint; but ' no member who may have a Roman Catholic wife, shall be eligible to ofilce in this Order." Fellow.chtizen s of Georgia, is not this inv:a sion of the sanctity of domestic life, this war upon females, un:iorthy the age we live in-un worthj the free government of our fathers unworthy the chivalrdus and manly spirit of Southern inen.-unworthy of any party which has. the-least dlaim to patriotic motives and re publican aims. If we mistake not, such an unmanly and'in sidious attempt to fetter the purest affections of our nature, to draw. social distinctions among u4, founded in religion, and throw obstacles in the. v:'y of marriages along tho young, attraet ed to each other 'by the mutual svtp:tthies of youth. of congeni:.1 disposiiofns -trnd tastes, shotuld inet the raeverest reprehien~ion of every virittotis memtber of society, male and femaile. rTe wisencres amiong~ the Know Nothings need take but one step futrthetr to maake Rontnt Catholhic girls the greatest belles of the land, among. alt youing men wortlhhaingr. Tihat is, to subject every unmarried man among their hadge to fines, denunciations :ind expulsion, who dares to court a Cattholie girl, or even -to paty her a visit, or be seen walking with tier in the streets.

No exertion, we ate sure will be spared'to make the occasion delightful. Ant e advise all, who can do so, to go and join in it festivities. IRISH POTATOES EXTRAORDINARY. Mr. SAMUEL BRooKs sends us the finest specimen of Irish Potatoes we have seen this season. . They an ver; large, and perfectly sound and firm. Although red externally, they arewhen cooked, of the brightes yellow. It is useless to add that they make a grea dish. 'These potatoes .were seat to Mr. Baooxs by hi biother in New England.

ADAMS. ilts Excellency is now in our District reviewing the citizen soldiery. We are delighted to see him 'lookin, so genially fine. From what we can learn, he is ta king immensely with the people. His speeches befor< the Regiments are characterised by great good sense very high tons arid a marked propriety, whethero thought or language. Thte prediction is made that he will prove one of the most acceptable and popular gov ernors we have ever had. He is certainly gathiering goen opinions from his fellow citizens of Edgefieh D)istrict. We heard one fellow remark "ihat Jon~s PRESTON rus be a craCker sure enough to beat sue: a man as JANrEs H. Anaxs." The governor proceeds from Edgefield to A bbevill -thence to Anderson, Pickens and Greenville. Ti reach this last district will take up the month .of Au gust. Adjutant General DUNOnAN', with Cot. S.

For .the whole par ty, we wish a safe and happy tour. - SIGNIFICANT. -Anoya the many -letters written by sundry distin. guished strangers who were invited to the late Ander son dinner, we observe one of peculiar import. It is from Mr. GEOaGE YAtI., of New Jersey. The partic, ular expression in it, to which we allude, reads s M lows: " My intercourse with the Hion. J. L. Osa has beer close; and I am happy to say that I believe the time u il come when his constituents toill be the wehole peo plc of the United States." ___ 1vEWS FROM NORTH CAROLINA. TusE." South Carolinian" is informed, that oh Mecenbrg has gone against the Know Nothin, party by a considerable ;majority. The Editor of the " Southern Patriot" has been in Western North Care lina and is of opinion that'CLNGMsAN will kill off the order most efectually in his Congressional Districl "In one of his speeches," says the Patriot "Mr CINOAxN said thatKnow Nothingism was destine< to be short lived. He did not know that it would die but it would be like Billy's pig, which was poor, mangy thing, and a neighbor -said to the boy one day, " I understand, Billy, your pig died,' " No," replied Billy, " he didn't die, but jestgin out ! So it will he, said Mr. CILNGMAN, with the order o Know Nothings; it wilt .not die, but just "gin out.' .----*4---* -Look on this pietiAre, then on that. TuE Georgia " Corner Stone" (a paper of remarks bly high toite and very sagacious in many things) con trass the resistance proclivities of the two partis across the Savanah, thus: But to the question. We would be very glad t: hve it in our power to say that the American part) was a better resistan-e party than the Demoeratic but with the lights before us we cannot say so. Lel us see the evidence-In the first place Gov. Johnsioi says he will, whether elected or not, urge the next Leg islature to take measures to call a convention in thi event of the rejection of. Kansas. Judge Andrews ha as yet at least sasid nothing like it, and with hisantece dents we have' no right to consider hinm a very stron, resisatce man. In the next place four or five of the loading Demo cratic papers'have come oct and said in so many words that they will, in that event, advocate a dissolution o the Union-not a single paper of the American parta in the State or out of it, has said this so far as we In the next place It is charged that Dr. Miller of the Cherokee country, a man of high personal chsractei of great reputation for tahanti, and one of the mai important men of the party, hae recently stid min speech in Atlanta, that the party would sacrifice ever3 thing for the Union-We have notseen this denied anc presume it is true. The exact words, as reported b: the Atlanta papers, are to be found in this issue of oul paper, with thie comments of the Rome Southerne Tphe American party has adopted the Philadelphia Platform, whichirecognises the Union as the paramouni goo-th .Dermocratic party has done no such thing GOY. ADAMS AND aMASSACHUSETTS. is Excellency, the Governor of South Carolina, -in response to Governor Gano'aza-of Massachusettes, who had forwarded the resoldes of the Massachusetts Legislature in relation to Kansas, replies in the follow r ing terse and appropriate manner : - EXECUTIVE .DEPARTMENT, COLUatDIA, July 9. His Excellency Gov. H. J Gardner: DEAR SIR-I beg.leave to return to you certain "resolves" of the Legislature of Massachusetts, -in relation to Kansas and the French Spoliation Bill. I cannot consent,under existing circumstances, to be the medium of communicating any action of the 'Legislature of Massachusetts to the State over which I have the honor to preside. Yours respectfully, J. H. ADAMS. We are sure the people of South Carolina will earti-. ly endorse the course of our Executive in the premi ses. ' It is not only consonant with the promptings of high honor, but is called forth almost unavoidably by the extraordihary action of the Massachusetts Legisla ture. It is understood as a matter of course, that our Governor will give the South Carolina .Legislature a full explanation of the affair in his next annual mes sage. MUSICAL. IN Edgefeld village proper, we can boast of about twventy seven pianos; -there are several others in the immediate outskirts. In every part of tie District, this instrument (which is perhaps the .very -best yet. invented) is.firiding its way to the parlors of our peo pie. Mr. AARON CLARK, of Augusta, informs us that he has sold in Edgefield, since the 1st December last, oversi.r thousand dollars-woorth of pianos. Remember there are two other musical establi'shments in Augusta that may have sent over their proportion also. Who willsay that we are not musically inclined . Well, we like it. The. more generally the appliances and facilities of the-"Divine Art" are scattered abroad, the more frequently will that native talent, of which a great deal lies hidden in our midst, be brought to the proper exercise of its capabilities. HON. P. S. BROOKS. AT the dinner recently given to Col. Oaa,by his con tituents of Ariderson, our immediate representative was toasted and responded i: a manner worthy of himself and the occasion. We extract below from the "An derson Gazette" the complimentary sentiment and a sketch of the speech made by Col. BRooKS in response. Ion. P. S. Baoos.--A talented and fearless Re .presentative. His speeches on the Kansas, Nebraska and Pacific Railroad bills,.displayed an originality of genius and energy of thought that did honor to him self and his constituents. Col. Brooks responded as follows: He felt honored by the sentiment just-offered, and the generous manner in which it was received.. He did not feel at liberty to ipdulge ina tedious.harangue, as This was an occasion -set apart to do honor to Col. Orr; He was here to aid in doing that honor, as well as to mingle with the' mountain yeomanry of Old Pendleton. As a Caroli nian, he was proud of Col. Orr,and his constituents had every reaseS for being proud of him. He said that Col. Orr should notleave the service ; that he had done noble work, And should be kept In the bar ness. Col. Brooks regarded the Know Nothing party as exceedingly dangerous to the South. He ascribed its origin to the jealousies existing in New York against foreigners--because they under-bid the natives in city labor. The foreigners of the North. and West had proved themselves truer friends to the South than the native population. He regarded the Democratic party as the only party that the South could unite with. .It had been true to the Constitution.. Were the people of South Carolina willing to discard the Democratic party-this old oaken bucket-and embrace this new party in 'which there was no purity, or no object but spoils ? He, for one, nas in favor of heartily co-operating with-the Demo cratic party. It'would be grossly unjust and ungener ous for the South now to give the cold shoulder to those Democrats of the North, who had stood by the Constitution. lIt ths event of a dissolution, the South would have greatly the advantage. The commercial interests of the North were depenidant upon the great staples of Southern agriculture. Col. Brooks pursued this subject further, but having meagre notes, we are unable to follow him. His speech was well received, and called forth frequent bursts of appliuse. * THE TIMES IMPROVING. Tm " Hamburg Pioneer" raises. his psan over the impirovement of the times in a style well worthy of the occasion. We sympathise entirely with the smile of satisfaction which must have pervaded his -features whi's inditing the following reflections: It is asource of.great joy to everybody to know that all things are working together for the general good. The times that were so tight a few months ago -have got sober, and now instead of grim visaged famn cheerful, and starveling rjieat tebounteous pros pect a head. The grim and crabbed countenances of B rank-dependent merchants have become smoother and more amiable. Creditors laugh with joy, and debtors no longer cross the street and tiurn corners to avoid collision with them. Farming prospects were uever more flattering in thme bouthern States, titan at this time ; the fields gian under the rich and luxuri ant crops. and every thing promises an extraordinary yield. Already provisions have come down twenty to fifty per cent, and if no misfortune overtakes .the growing crop, we may expect to live upon cheaper bread and meat, than for a number of years past. A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. THE Southern Patriot is opposed to the Order of Know Nothings, but says that out.of all their evil this much good has resulted : " Know Nothingism must kill, for the time being, most effectually, secess.ionism ar.d the spirit of disunionism, for it is a national party fand a Union party." -The Evening Netws (admitted to be one of the most gallant papers in the Southern ranks of this order) talks very differently, thus: "The work of political disintegration goes on. An Americanized Southern Confederacy is a grand idea. .In view of Northern acion it will be realised. What will the Atlantic border this side of Puritanism doi The fifteen South era States will make a very good-the grand naio. Who will join--who seced'e ?" -Yet the News wishes New York to go along with us. And, to say the truth, it is no very bad idea. But is this Know Nothingismi No-it is but the impromptu expression of a single manly spirit of that party. Look to the North-yes, and to V.rginia, Tennessee and North Carolina and it will be found that the Patriot has not drawn his consolatory reflection in vain. THE EARLY MORN. * Iji Summer, all late risers lose the most lovely hour -of the twenty-four. The short space that intervenes between day-break and sun-rise is the one we think of. How-serene, the grey streaks ef the early dawn! How softly beautiful, the pink tints that gradually in fuse their mellow hues into the eastern sky, as the sun comes nearer the horizon! How refreshing, the delicious coolness of the hour! How grateful, the gentle dew-drope that hang in liquid loveliness from leaf and bud and flower ! How inspiriting, the matin song of the versatile mn~eking bird ! How plaintive, Ithe strange melody of the turtle-dove as she changes her place continually in the vale below ! How joy os, the universal chirping and twittering of the whole -feathered family as they make " vocal all the air !" How clearly at that hour rings every sound in nra t ure ! the woodpecker's.distant tapping, the plowman's morning refrain, the " cock's shrill clarion or the echoing horn!" - And yet how gently do these varied notes fall upon the ear, as though all nature was modu lated to the calmness of the moment i Give us the early morn of the country!. It is worth more than all the shades and colorings and intonations with which art is able to-inveet Iher most entrancing fscenes.. WHILE WE -TALK, OTHERS ACT. Tuts is not only true of the good.- citizens of our celestial burgh in regard to railroads, but is felt to be applicable in many other iespects. For some time past a good deal has been said in the community abotut impr~ving Church music. " Oh yes, we must im prove our sacred singing-we - must form- choirs, we must get-new books, and, may be, buy new organs, or at any rate tune-up the old ones. .We must do some thin." And what -have we donei We. have stood still at the same old notch; and there is but little .~probability that we will ever rise above It. Not so. awith other communties and other congregations. Read what a visitor says of the fine singing in the Newber ry Village Baptist Church: " One of the most noticeable features in their condi ton is their highly improved church music. In this frespect we should be disposed to assign them the high est rank. Nowhere in city or in country,. have we heard for many a day, more. enlivening'and effetive sacred music. There is many a large city congrega ion that might do well to take lessons from the choir of Newberry Church. We learn that. a finetoned or gn Is ordered, and is to be set up In a few weeks." DISINFECT YOUR SLOP-HOLES. Dr. Graaas of the Carolinian, who undoubtedly knows all about the matter, recommends to house keepers the following disinfecting agent: " The papers are every where urging the free use of copperas as a disinfectsng agent. It is a cheap arti cle, costing only three cents per pound, and can be stores. A. couple of pounds migay e dissolved In ten quarts of water, and. the solution poured into sinks, gutters;cesspools, and al other filthy places with good efect.. We advise all.housekeepers to purchase a quantity, and make a freemae of it as above recom mended. Their dwellings -and out buildings will conain a purer atmosphere alter tiie use of copperas." PRESIDENCY OP THE SC. COLLEGE. Tea resignation of Dr. TunOaELL is to take ef feet next winter, and the duty will devolvo upon the Board of Trustees. in llecember,toelect his successor. Hitherto we have heard, but tlhee names suggested for that highly honorable post. Dr.LEIEa wasthe first mentioned, if we remember aright, and Judge Lawis WADDLAW the;second. A writer in the last Caroli nian gives us the announcement of a third-Ex-Gover nor Junx..ILMEANS. . If -Judge WAaDLAW would consent to assume the duties of that position, we should have little hesitation in .pronouncing him as good a selection as could be-made in the State. But of his willingness to do thisd.ome doubt has been expressed. He'is perhaps disinblined- td change the whole drift of his mental labors so late in life. .The high character and literaryturn of Gov. MEANs certainly go far tqwarda fitting him also for the dis. charge of the duties of a CollegbPresfdency. An ad mirable end might be subserved by his election to the vacancy soon to occur. We quote from the article announcing hit name us follovys The public mind is unquestionably anxious upon the subject, and whilst the people of the State universally concede to the Board of Trustees the possession of an honorable degree of intelligence; discrimination and patriotism, still, and for that very reason, they are wholly persuaded that any suggeuton of theirs, on a subject of such vital interest, wllld be listened to by that able bodylof men with the'-utmost respect and deference. = Convinced of this, some of the people, who have gravely reflected upon:thisstep, respectfully present to the State at large, and. to the Board of Trustees particularly, . for the Piesidency of the Col lege, the name of Ex-Governor 'dhn H. Means; and your correspondent feeld assured that, in the main ele ments.of fitness for the station, that .honorable gentle. man is not surpassed by any citizen of the common wealth. The assurance is equally strong, that such is the sentiment of an overwhelting;portion of her peo pie. A graduate of the College in DI'. Thornwell's class, of .humane and engaging Manners, entirely ac cessible, and yet always digmi d' gf a generous spirit, of a pure liternry taste, accustoped to command, firm and still gracefully conciliatory Iirhis temper, elevated in moral tone and habits, atd po~sssing, in an eminent degree, the crowning qualificaib of a vigorous com mon sense, it may be said, with Aifect truth, that the Trustees would do a most valuable public service, by advancing Governor Means to the responsible position in question. In saying above that these thee gentlemen are the only persons thus far named forthepost in question, we mean in a publio manner. Privately we have heard others mentioned, the most prow i nt among whom is the Rev. BASIL MANLrY, late of the Alabama Uni versity. Of his fitness for the office there can be no doubt. The experience of. mainy.years in a similar position elsewhere is no- small.donsideration in favor of his election. Befides, the opinions t f all who knew him in -the Albama University' (Professors BaUMBY among the rest) are highly commendatory of his ad minntrative talents. We can readily imagine that he might, in this regard, merit the application of a line from Virgil, cnce applied to theftrit President of our college in view of his admirable influence over the young men of the institution. 6 Ille regit dictis animos, et pectora mulcet." Furthermore, Dr. MAxte's literary tastes are.well known to be of a pure and elevated cast. - NO GO. As we expected, Know Nothingism is " no go" in South Carolina. Some spirited efforts have been made, and are yet making, by a portio of our Press to give the thing a start among, the people of the State. But outside of Charleston -and Columbia, nothing has been efleted. There is a considerable touch of the ad capan dum about the principles of the'. er, and a few talen ted gentlemen are engaged in Et1 thankless business of propagating them. But thus fair, to judge from the usual indications, South Carollita' has resolutely put her foot upon the whole matter. In our interior, at any rate, the order ha. signally failed. We have not heard of the first country district Iii -which "Sam" has made the least headway. In Edgefield there iscer tainly very little encouragemint for the young gentle man's hopes. He might comimand a pretty fair co'r poral's guard writhin our liuiitiperkaps; but we ex cednIdoubt his ab' ' more. Our o Is lantern-nothing a n his precepts-nothing remarkable in him any way,-.except some squinting prpenities which make the fellow's features decided ly repulsive. And, wuith the rest of the State, we say " Get thee behind us !" JUVENILE GOSSIPRY. TinE " Knickerbocker" for July gives the subjoined incidents of juvenile precocity. Who remenibers Judge BULERs anecdote about smart children! We should like to have it. Louts GAYLORD himself would shake his sides at it as the best of the season. But here are the " Kniickerbocker" items: gg As .little Freddy and his father were walking alongside the public square. on one of our recent windy days, a man's hat blew off, and after it started thie man, at full speed.

One little girl, in a particularly uncomfor table place,, seemed anxious' to answer: ' Well, my little girl, what is the definition!l' ' I think, Sir, it means, not to hunch when you are crowoded.'" |7" I had a lirdesister once (she lives in Heaven now) who was the wonder of all who knew her. She played and sang with accuracy several little songs upon the piano when only four years of age. Her imagination was very vivid. She would sit for hours and read long stories out of books or papers that she conceived as she turned the leaves over; for she only knew heruletters. One day she took her little pocket Testament, and folding her chubb hande solemnly across it she read:- " And verily I ma, uinto you, Jesus Christ put on his bonnet and shawl and went out to walk with his, sisters." .This was when she was three years old. A short time before she died, she tuned from her play one day, and said to our older sister: Sister Carry, I shall die in three weeks:" and just three weeks from that day sie lay a corpse on her little bed !" Speaking of smart children, it may not be out of the way to mention an incident of a very fearless one, which was told' us a few days since. It runs thus: Little Tommy T--is about five years old. He was the only gentlemtan at home the other day, when a terrific thunder storm passed along over his, papa's residence. The ladies of the l'ouse were quite alarm ed, and a little girl of the family really terrified, by the fashing - and craaliing. of the lightning and thun der. But It was observable that little Tommy kept a bright and devil-may-care face throughout. lie sang and laughed the while, as though he were a very storm-sprite, thus affording a rather amusing contlast to the pale faces end tremulous exclamations of those around him. Afer the rain bed ceased and the attn was out again in seemingly~ renewed splendor, Tummy and "the little girl of the family" soon found themselves at play together in the back-yard. And these, while plashing in high glee through the rain-puddle, the following brief colloquy occurred: Ir: Gzax.-J'What's the reason you was'nt afraid of the thunder and lightning just now,Tommy!" Touu.-" Cause I was'nt." . LriK Gtar.--"Well 'spose you was away off in the woods by yourself, and it' was to thunder and lighten so, would'at you be seared then!" Tur.-(Withan ceident desire to accominodate his play-mtate by being afraid of something.)-"Yes, if there taas any snakes there I would !" Ts Cleveland papers give an account of a discovery, by Dr. Tralor, of that city, of a pro ces for the production of a brilliant light by the decomposition of water. The apparatus is said to be wholly uinlike that of Mr. Paine, of Worcester, which attracted so much attention a few years since. Distinguished chemists ha e examined the process and its results, and pro none it a triumph. The cost of the appara tue is small, the achinery simple, and the cost f .ntcrL'ds cnsumeda almost. nohig. - 0E W take the following extracts in reference to the crops, &c., its Louisiana, from a letter which we received a few ays since, from a gentleman in that State. The letter.is dated MT. LEDANOx, July 6, 1855. " We have had no available navigation on Red River this season past. Our cotton crops of 1854 are yet on hand, besides we'are incommoded mate rially in procuring our groceries.. Some planters have hauled a load or so to Washita River, where by the aid of flat boats and a few steam (through) arrivals, some relief was afforded. ".We have bad but very little rain Ibr the last twelve months, and our water courses are uniformly much lower than eyer known. We had no rain from 4th April till 18th June, except to laj the dust on two occasions, yet strange to say, our crops are not destroyed. In some neighborhoods they had rains and their crops are fine. I think we shall make corn enough to do us. In South Carolina such~a drouth would have ruined the corn crops en tirely. "The health of the country is even better this season than usual. On the Rivers some sickness has prevailed." FOR TlE EnGF.FtELD ADVERTISER. Cuba---No. 4. IF, though, in the progress of events, no opportu nity should ever occur to the United States of gaining the control and occupation of Cuba, -with some show of justice, then the argument becomes imperative to the Southern States, that that Island and others ought to be won by private adventure. In ease of a rupture with the North, it would in sure the victory to the South, and form for her a bulwark of strength more formidable afid unassaila ble than the rock of Gibraltar. The sympathies of the new Republic that would be ushered upon the theatre; would be ALL for slavery-and first an alli ance defeinsive and offensive between her and the South, on any infringement of our institutions by our sisters-the free States-would take place, then a Declaration of Independene - would be made, ahd lastly a permanent union would result, which being cemented by common interest, common feelings, and common sentiments, could not be subverted or humbled by all the embattled legions of the cham pions of negro. emancipation. What a glorious country would now burst upon the vision of the statesmen of the world-would rise like a brieht exhalation but settle in the firmament as the loveli est star of all the constellations. Being peculiarly a maratime people, the seas around us would beget seamen and sailors as they now dothe common in habitants of their element, our commerce would soon rival Great Britain's, and our navy would sur pass hers. Of the richness, fruitfulness and happiness of such a country I will not speak, nor of her abun dance in all that is necessary to produce comfort, security, and dominion. We of the South would then enjoy the peculiar means of defence, which I have suggested that the North American Republic might monopolize to herself by assuming command of the Gulf of Mexico. In the belief of many wise men, it is best anyway for no government to become extended over too great a surface. It engenders weakness in the course of time, and ultimately brings ruin and oblivion. It seems like it has been determnined in the councils of Heaven that no nation shall enjoy more than its share of her favor. All those great States such as Rome, wvhose gluttonous appetite for conquest have spread their armies and their sway all over the habitable globe, have, in due time, lived oat their days and fallen like Lucifer never to rise again. Bearing such views in mind, a true patriot and luver of his country (and God knows 1 have proved my devotion in all honorable ways) might prefer that Cuba should obtaiu her freedom by the volun tary effbrts .of thme chivalrous and gallant youth who would rally around her standard from the United kindle in a month, in that lovely Island, a lamen of patriotic resistance that all the blood of the Spanish race could not extinguish. I am not a believer in the marvellous, bnt I have been a reader of history to a reasonable extent, and have made all the observation of meni :nnd things I could in my short day, and I avow before my Ma ker, that the tenor of events for the last two centu ries has app~eared to me to point to the ultimate rule of the purely White race, or A nglo-Saxon blood, or the Caucasian race all over the earth. That 'blood has been increasing its dominion ever since the day on which the Roninna landed ini Great Britain, and it now comniands half the Kingdoms of men, whilst 'the darker races have been steadily on the decline ever since the Moores were expelled from Spain. and surely since thme moment that the foot of Co lumbus fit trod upon the soil of San Salvador. Look at the North American Indian how he retires and perlishes before the march of the white man. Lo.k at India hmtiv it recedes from British advance ment. It is the destiny of those races to give place to nobler oecupants of the soil. Such isthe decree of God-such is the. will of God ; and therefore I cannot deem it sinful that the wise, enterprising and* virtuous should possess the land. The Scriptures say, " The righteous shall inherit the earth." I am a general progress oman. Tho earth and all the inhabitanits thereof have undergone a total change and a total improvement, and at dilferent intervals. Geology proves this-and as to man, histoi'y proves it, and all nature proclaims it to the world. Then let the young men of the country look about them and set to work. Let them bushish their well tempered armor, and set their spirits in myotion. Conquests are before them greater .than were ever won by either Frane,' or Englad, or Russia; and what is more, conquests which shall improve the generation of men, conquests which shall in every : y 'improve the face of the creation, and conquests which shall tend to thme glory of man, and1 the glory of God, and which shall therefore be fostered and' smiled upon'by Ileaven. In conclusion, I cannot better close this chapter than hy declaring* that the West ladies must be ours. " Up boys and at thea!" . -CRITT'ENDEN. < DEATH OF DR. J.

It is probably inten led for. Odessa. The Russians are besieging Kars, and the Tur dsh forces In Asia.are hard pressed. The general aspect of the war is not at all en souraging to the cause of the allies. Some 1 slight successes, it is true, have lately attended their efforts, but they are of no moment. Three successive sorties were made by the Russians on the French works on the night of Lhe 15th. the assailants coming from the Malakoff tower. Each assault was repulsed by the French without material loss. Another sortie was made upon the English on the night of the 17th, which was also repulsed. On the 18th another assault was made upon the batteries at Careening Bay, which \was vig arously repulsed. The Russian ships were beginning to suffer fr.m the French batteries at Quarantine Bay. The report that Prince Gortschakoff had re -eived reinforcements is fully confirmed. Another Black Sea expedition is being fitted ant by the allies, supposed for Odessa'or for the 1 relief of the Turks, who are hard pressed at Anatolia. - - The Russian army had invested Kars Kutai, and were hard pressing the Turks in Batoum.
