VARIETY. Immigration and Direct Trade. Tho Hon. John Kvorct, of London, deliv ered an address on Saturday night last, at Pe tersburg, Va., on tho subjoots indicated in thoabovo titlo. As his rotuurks aro as nppli oablo to Charleston ns to Norfolk, to South Carolina as to Virginia, wo gave our readers tin) following synopsig, promising only that Mr. 10verot is nu intciligont, woll informed gout ionian, and has boon some months in this eouotry. Ile hue travelled all through thc South, and acquainted himself with our cli mate, soil and rosiuroos, and is competent ?therefore to speak to and advise us. Ho said li? carno to this country nt tho so licitation of many pcoplo in tho South, pro fessedly and designedly to sec if Ibo groat hoops of monoy lying across thc water, unused and jisoless, could bo profitably loaned among . bur people, oithor on their property or on their growing orops. Ho had been hore but a short while boforo bo found this to bo impossible. Tho old rogimo was destroyed, tho system of labor changed, and property worth almost nothing. All idea of any benefit to bo de rived or bestowed by this moans was banish ed , Tho spoakor hore digressed and amused his nudionco with Bomo account of tho estimation in whioh thoy were held abroad. It is tho genoral impression, said bc, that thc South isa Ood-foraakon, mnn-forsaken laud-inhab ted by a pooplc dovoid of refinement, given e, and dcBtituto of thc advantages of yin civilization. Hut ho had been hero "Hie whilo beforo ho discovered how ?j? mali?iged, misrepresented and miscon ptuwo aro abroad. Ho found not a Clod Ofon land, but on tho contrary ono of thc nnd richest portions of tho earth tho sun ovor shone upou-rioh. even unto reple tion, delightful in climate, possessing un bounded wealth of soil nnd minerals, and Heaven-blcssod in all respects. Ho felt ashamed of tho malign assertions made upon ---tt" pcoplo whom ho found to be so gallant, so chivalrous, so rofincd, so intelligent and so cultivated. Ho hold that an catiro people should not bo made responsible and culpable for tho offoncos of a few-else how would it bo at tho North and in England ? There is a decpor motive for these malversations than appears on tho surface, and bc would feel it to bo his duty to make proper representations when ho roturnod homo. HQ roforrod to our past, and what we had lost bj tho war, but when ho cousidcrcd thc vast mineral resources of tho country, tho the great advontagos of soil and climate, ho felt that we still have left that which is far _more valuablo than what wo lost. Wo have [ j_"that trill enable vis by labor and time to build \ - wp our material intcrosts and reap incalcula ble results. It was estimated that \indcr our old system there wcro nbout ono million ool ored and ono million white able-bodied labo rora in tho South, and with this force wc had raised and exported moro than many coun tries. What would bCaccomplishcd were two million laborers throwu into each Southern State ? Ho could not send us money, but ho could send us millions of laborers-sturdy, honest men-to oultivatc our soil and build up our oountry. Wc waut labor, wo want men to settlo upon ami occupy our lands, mon who will find an interest in and populate thom. Tho spoakor ridiculed tho idea of a South erner leaving this fair land. Ho would bc unworthy his Saxon blood to run away from a struggle Stay at home, work, and leave no unturned to gaiu success. Work with Oflh motives, with stronger resolution tho trial with manly vigor and con l>Doscd to send men of moderato 9> n\who aro oapablc, industrious, hon ?ano BU them in colonies.

[ Charleston Mercury. Female Fortitude and Affeotion. "Tho following narrative adds another to tho thousand instances of female fortitude and af fection whioh woro displayed during tho FrcUoh revolution. A traveller of celebrity hadlcttorsof^ntroduotion to Monsieur 0---, Ho Waa ot his country-bouse, about ni no miles jSrom Paris, an invalid. Heavy losses, a pnin l\lif*?8pi*"ation from his native country for tho preservation of his own life, and tho livos of his family, had undermined his health, and mado sad inroads in a delicate constitution. Monsieur O-ontorcd into n very interest ing account of his country, of tho revolution, and of his flight. He still spoke of. his lady "With all tho tender culogium of a young lov er, for their union proceeded entiroly from nt taohment. Ho informed mo that in tho time of blood", as it was justly tormcd, this arafoblo fcouian, who is remarkable for tho delicacy of hov mind, and for tho beauty and majesty of hor person, displayed a coolness and courago whioh, in thu fiold of battlo, would huvo cov ered tho hero with laurels. Ono evening, a short period boforo tho family loft Franco, a party of thoso murderers, who wero sont for by ltobospiorro from tho frontiers whioh do* vido Franco from Italy, and who wcro cm* ployed by that archfiend in all tho butcheries and niassaoros of Pavia, entered thc peaceful village of La Reine in search of Monsicr O -. His lady saw thom advancing, and an ticipating their errand, had just limo i ; give lier husband intelligence of their approach, who left his chateau by a back door, and se creted himself in tho house of a neighbor. O-, with perfect composuro, wont out to meet them, and received them in a mrtst gra cious manner. They.stcruly demanded Mon. sicr O-j she informed them that he had left thc country ; and, after engaging them in conversation, sho conduotcd them into her drawing-room, and regaled thom with her best wines, and made her servants attend upon them with unusual deferonco and ceremony. Their appoaranco was altogether horriblo; thoy woro leather aprons, whioh woro sprink led nil ovor with blood j they had largo horso pistols in their belts, mid a dirk and sabre by their sides. Their looks woro full of ferocity, and they spoke a harsh, dissonant patois-Ian guage. Over their cups they talked about thc bloody business of that day's occupation, in thc courso of which they drew their dirks and wiped from their handles clots of blood and hair. Madame O-sat with them, un dismayed by their frightful deportment. Af ter drinking several bottles of champoignc and burgundy, these savages began to grow good-humored, and seemed to bo completely fascinated 5 y tho amiable and unembarrassed and hospitable bohavior of their fair land-la dy. After carousing till midnight, they press ed her to retire, observing that they had been received so handsomely that they wore con vinced Monsicr O-had been misrepresen ted, and was no enemy to thc good cause ; the)' added that they found tho wines oxccllont j and, after drinking two or three bottles more, they would leave thc house without causing her any reason to regret their admission. MandameO-, with all thc appoaranco ol perfect tranquility and confidence in theil promises, wished her unwelcome visitors ? good night; and, after visiting her children in their rooms, she threw herself upon hoi bcd with a loaded pistol in each hand, and over whelmed willi sup pressa^ agony and agitation she soundly slept till she was called by her servants, two hours after these wretohes had left thc house. Tho Mother's Heart ? BY J. H. FOY. Many years ago thcro lived in Wilson coun ty, N. 0., a merchant by thc name of S. He was un energetic man, of sonni judgment,' unllagging industry and good business "turn." Ina few years bc had accumulated what ii: those days of unpretending simplicity was r fortuuc, and longing for a larger theatre or which to display his mercantile abilities, h< wound up his business hero and moved ti Mobile, Ala. Thcro success crowned h's cf forts and in his old ago ho is surrounded b> wealth and comfort, tho fruit of his own rcs oluto and intelligent exertions. "While Hyini herc bc had ono child, a sweet little hov, win was his mother' idol, and who shared witt the pursuit of wealth tho fathers heart. The little fellow was wate hod over and guard ed willi a solicitude that showed how strongb he had entrenched himself in their souls. The winds of Heaven wcro not allowed t< visit bim too roughly j everything that couh contributo to his well being, and strengthci his constitution wns provided by loving heart and willing, oh, how willing hands. Pu in spite of all this brooding tenderness, th little boy sickened and pined, till at lcngtl ho "faded with tho flowers," and "was not for God took him." To describe thc tortor of thc bereaved parents wcro to essay a tasl in which luuguage limps, and words instoa* of living and moving instinct with life nm pregnant with beauty and sentiment, are oohl doad, heartless and rigid like corpses. Suflico it to say, they laid tho littlo caskc in tho bosom of tho earth-his littlo robe woro hid away as something forever sacr?e ' U stockings and half worn shoes, oonseon ted by tho libation of a mothor's toars, wei ourofully garnered up-and tho fathor tun cd again to tho dusty 'course of li ic, whoi bc strove by redoubled assiduity and attoutio to business, to forget tho dinging of littl arms, thc coaxing of a birdliko voioc, nu tho musical patter of restless little feet, lb tho mothor in tho bleakness of her grci desolation, it is hoped, let go all oarthly proj and anchored her heart " with tho vail." Years, busy years, freighted with love an hope and misery, glided by liko tho weaver shuttle or tho " vapor that continucth for littlo whilo, and then fadcth away." Takin tho average duration of lifo to bo thirl years, a generation has played its part, sim tho sods wcro heaped lightly on tho litt prattler. Tho head of tho gcntlc-fu cd mot! or has boon silvered by Times' touch, and hi faoo has boon furrowed by tho cares of o lor lifo. Other children in after yoars " roso i to oall her blessed"-daughters like tl " polished stonfcs of thc tomplo " shed mus and gayoty, and tho ripple of girlish laught throughout her homo, but no sons savo tl Bud that withered in tho opening ever grae the parent stem. Not a groat whilo ngo, i cstimablo gentleman of this county, Mr. K. ; reooived a lotter ftom Mr. S. and wifo, ni king enquiries as tu tho condition of tho litt in.vcont gravo, and bogging bim to seo th tho spot was kept inviolato. Ho onquired inlo tho matter and found i JM tf, ?'?.'" V;.-' v. kooping and condition, nil thoy oould wish. From his lips 1 lcnrud tho inoidcut, nod wna I touched to tho soul nt this now proof of tho j " Divinity that stirs within us ;" theso " God I given " affections that survivo tho flight of j time, and risc triumphant over tho caulking, cares of life-cares that dismiss all clso " to dim forgetful ness n prey," are not ?uennt to bo solely oxeroiscd in this fleeting world. No ; there is a voico within us stronger than those oxtcrnnl evidences which aro addressed to reason's car, stronger oven than thc "Span gled Heavens and shining frame" whioh pro claim lo tho wayfaring man that thoro is a groat Original-strongor than tho Prophecios whioh ohnntod in cpio strains, tho wondrous revelations of tho Futuro, and whoso nftor fulfillment start led tho unbelieving into siloneo, That voico born of one's consciousness and ) and scated in tho affections of tho h omi, ) looks into tho wants, tho cravings of tho hu man soul and from its deathless loves, deduces thc coufldout hope and expectation of reunion beyond thc grave. Not in tho olash of hail, tho drift of the whirlwind, tho thunder drum of Hoavou, tho wild and bickering strife of olcmoutal energies, aro the highest characters of tho sublimo developed or tho host proof $ of a futuro existence found. "They Rt'0 iho> blunt and lost faculties of our unluro which can only bc addressed through lampblack and lightning." God is in the still small voico that speaks . in tho human heart, that bridges across thc ! dreary, oh how dreary gulf of years, and j clasps with fondness to momory's bosom thc j ittle darling wdio "sparkled, was exhaled; and went to heaven." God, and the proof of j a nobler and more enduring life, arc as much thoro as they arc in tho welkin above us all throbbing and panting with stars. God is j All-powerful and nature through all her I works proclaims Him good. Can wo, oh 1 j vain and empty Materialist, believe that Ho1 would haVo endowed us with feelings and as pirations that can never bc gratified ? Ohl how unfoling and cruel you would make your Maker. He had thc powor to make t^t-i+H- [ mortal, and tho fact that wc, who have bceu bereaved, PO earnestly look forward tc p. reun ion beyond this world, speaks to my mind more convincingly of thc reality of a Future state than tho cold speculations of a frigid philosophy of tho icy deductions of a merci less logic. Thc gray old mountains swelling nbovc : smiling and dainty vales, with bald peaks that pierce thc heavens and beetling crags that frown upon thc landscapo far below thc eternal hymn ol anted in grand monotone by old Ocean-tho endless and diversified phenomena of Nature on soa, land, air and tho " waters under thc earth," may speak to some of thc land " Bendall," of tho " Delectable \ mountains," of thc green and verdant fields [, spread out invitingly bryoi.J jovdan'ti wweTrU ing Hood, but feel it and know it, deeper an? more assuredly Hp " From thc spirits on earth that adore, r* From thc souls that cuiront and Implore lu tho fervor ami passion of prayer; From lim hearts that oro broken with IOSSCJ, And weary with dragging ttte crookes Too heavy for mortal to bear." "Years of Discretion." Thc law assumes that on reaching his twenty-first year a mau is capable of sol''-gov ernment, and, therefore, makes him, to use thc words of Bryon .?Lord of himsolf-n fearful heritage!" The Poet is right. Self-lord ?hip is a fca rfu heritage to thousands. It proved so to him, His " years of discretion " did not begin wltlii bis majority; indeed, they never bogati nf all. The truth is, that two-thirds of u.? claiming to bc men and women aro notting bettor than overgrown ohildrcn. Porhaps tho best that oan bo said of tho " Lords of Creation" is, that they havo just senso enough to make penal laws. All codes, howevor, are an abject confession, on the part of thc ma kers, of tho moral blindness of tho h&mxn species. God boin society if wo were permit ted to treat ono another as we treat ourselves, it would bc all the better for many of us, per chance, if wo were compelled to beim ve to I ourselves as considerately as tho law, under penalty of exemplary punishment, obliges ns to behave to our neighbors. Wc stickle for freedom in our personal habits; yet there atc tens of thousands of middle-aged baWcs among us who seem to require ooerotf?fqj?to ns much-nay, moro-than thoy did inflhoir sohool-boy days. If a man or gang oil lyon should forcibly pour aloohol down Mi<iftntbAt of a fcllow-orcaturc until death onsned, or should poison him with uiootino or oram lum with rich food " against tho stomach of his sense," until ho died of plethora, tho ly.rand tho bench would denounoo tho proceeding as a oriino, and a jury would convict tho party or parties implicated. Yet peoplo may de liberately destroy themselves in theso and ma ny other ways without being interfered'with by tho law. It would trench upon tho perso nal rights of tho oitizen, we aro told, to rouvin him from killing himself by inches with alco hol and oil of tobacco But has any nlan a right to commit self-murder ? Tho Alirfghty says-no. Ile haB " fixed his canon 'yninst self.slatightcr." Is it not a good dtfcd/l law ful deed, a deed pleasant in tho eyes ot 'tho Father of all, to prevent suicido ? G&'isti nnity says yes. If this is logic, and weihlok it is, all arguments against tho right'oftsooi cty to enact suoh statutes as will effootually ourb tho 8clf-destrnctivo habits of its reckless members, fall to tho ground. f ONK half of mankind pass their mes in thinking how they shall get a dinney */d tlu: other in thinking what dionor thej'shfdgot; and tho first aro muo)l less injured bv ocon sional fasts than aro the lattor by C?T*' * Toasts.

Insects do not infest very late sowu peas ns t'uey do early ones. Stewed pumpkin as a poultice has been found of great value in reducing infl?mame tory rheumatism.
