From the Washington Sent in ft, OUR FOREIGN BIKtATIONS. The flippant ignorance which ehnractel-is(> many of our papers in tlioir discus hiou. of irflr foreign relations, do a great <Jom1 of h'.Uin in many ways. They go abroad to give a falso seeming t?f public opinion. In many, wo might say in most cases, their remarks arc predicated either upon partial or erroneous statements, perhaps ??i? both. Our relations arc discussed as lightly and inconsiderately .'is lite ipiestion of sweeping the streets or building a wharf. Prejudice and ignorance stand confessed in every line. The discussions are often entered into to coin pass some object at homo, when the mutter is unscrupulously treated, and fads and truths are inado to .shape themselves with a si light reference to homo demand?to aid or to forward a man or measure. (Jreat interest* of the country ara bandied about from column to column with a levity or wickedness absolutey shocking. Our foreign relations are drawn into tiio vortex of party strife, and so far as these papers are concerned it matters not that, great National interests may be jeoparded, i peace itself endangered, to carry some petty j scheme; or, on the other hand, when it! suits their purpose, to overlook and palliate outrages on our lights and honor. Kvery administration purposes in our : foreign relations to deO-nd faithfully our j rights and interests, and to act justly to- , wards all. We should be slow to con- ; denin their foreign policy, and should judge j only upon accurate information. That being had, the discussions .should l>o honest; tho true convictions of our mind given, and the reasons why \vc approve or why wo condemn. There is a constant running fire kept uj> from the first hint of any matter throughout all its stages, and witli tho least modicum of authentic information. There is a habit entirely too prevalent, and in'very bad taste. It is the mode of! treatment of foreign Diplomats. The re- j .?pect which is paid to ours abroad is not ' shown to foreign Diplomats here. They j are spoken of lightly, censured and de- ! uouueed on surmises, until at length a for- \ oigu minister is compelled to decline giving ] his testimony in a case of homicide, be- 1 cause, no im.tter how he may testify, he is sure of obloquy from some quarter. lieing the representative of a (Jovcrnment, they are entitled to immunities and respect as such, and they should be free from the prying and intrusion, and offensive j remarks with which too many of our papers i abound. In the case of Mr. Crampton, even, who has incurred the displeasure, we think the i just displeasure of our Covenmcut by his j *?>nuuot in the recruiting service, ami liis i misapprehensions, if not misrepresentations ( iu regard to the Central American ijues- i lion. j It would quite suffice to expose his com- ! plieily in the one and his errors in the I other, and still keep within the bounds of j a rigid decorum. The mode in which this gentleman is treated by some papers does not in any way help our cause. We concur in the course pursued by the Adminis tralion, which conies to its decision and his dismissal without the violation of any courtesy . l-Yance and the United States, with but ! momentary exceptions, have ever been ! friendly?there are no heart-burnings be- I tweeu them. The people <>f each nation ' are well disposed towards thuse ?>f the j other, and a disposition exists, we believe, | among t!ie masses of both nations to eulti- ; vale cordiality. i They have a ruler of their own choice, i and whatever we mav think of the nresent i " I, form of the (.iovernment of Franco, it certainly lias, if not tho warm approval, at least ihe ready and cheerful concurrence of the nation. We might as well find fault with the Emperor of liu-sia or any other monarch, as with Louis Napoleon, and yet it has been a favorite and standing topie with many papers to exercise their ingenuity in abuse and misrepresentation of this Potentate. We, in common wish all our people, I would pi\ f..r to see Franco a prosj.x rotis j Republic, hut that is the particular husi- i ness of the French people, and if tlicy pre- j fer tho present form of government, as j certainly they do, it is our duty as fiieuds l?> allow tlieui to enjoy it iii their own way, and not to vituperate their chief, manufacturing for that purpose the most hideous calumnies. We po not purpose to enter into an elaborate defence, which he does not require at our hands, for, indeed, we disapprove of some of his proceedings, but we do mean to sav, that lhe hunting up in all the kennels of New York anil elsewhere, the improbable stories and patent calumnies in his private life, seeking to ron ler him odious, is alike to be condemned for its pitiful meanness, as must tho effect., if it have any in France, be to create ill feel* iug. We do not hesitate to say that the people of the United States, as a whole, desire to cultivate the most amicable relations with the Fivncli people under whatever form of government that people may at any time choose for themselves. Wo are brusque and sometimes rude in our tone to foreigners, and yet we have been worsted in almost every negotiation we have made. We have always had some just cause of complaint, which, in no instance lias been fully satisfied as it ought. From the peace of the revolution to the present time, we have always had on hand Home grave offence by England against our honor, our rights, or our interests, and the amende in no one of them ever complete, while England has yet the first complaint to make against this Government. If the discussions of our foreign relations were dignified, patriotic and upon authentic information?these evils would not occur ?because the public would be truly informed, would see and believe what was s?id, and come unanimously and immovably to a conclusion ; but the discussions are now so discordant, flippant, and upon such unreliable authority, that people hardly ever read llio lucubrations, and so greatly distrust them as not to be able to come to '/'d definite decision, until at length wearied' "o^J, witlf'8tatemier?ts and counter-statements and contradictions by different papers of Teach'oilier, that the public mind gets wea' _ .!

A Russian Counsellor of Stale lias recently published a work styied, ' t?old and | Silver?ihoir origin, an<l tho amount extracted fii.in all countries of tho known world, from l!u' most remotu times till the year 1855." Tho following particulars are of interest: " The amount of gold and .silver annually taken from the mines of Europe, including Russia, is 20,805 kilogrammes of the for! mer, (2 7-10 pounds to the kilogramme) I and 101,444 kilogrammes of tho latter, I valued together at $25,000,000. "In America, including California, the ! annual product is 1G9.834 kilogrammes of gold and 735,180 kilogrammes of silver, worth, in all, $140,000,000. "In Asia, the annual product is 2,700 kilogrammes of gold, and 110,000 of silver, amounting in valuo to $22,000,000. "In Africa, no silver mines are wrought, and only 4,020 kilogrammes of gold arc produced, valued at $2,000,000. "Australia, too, yields no silver, but the annual product of gold amounts to 290,yCO kilogrammes, valued at $200,000,000. "Sum total in all parts of tho world, 510,109 kilogrammes of gold, and 1,020,024 kilogrammes of silver, valued together at 1,98S,000,000 francs, or over $397,000,000. The whole sum extracted from the earliest times up to the present will amount to 15,314,053 kilogrammes of gold and 254,410,170 of silver, worth together something more than $20,530,000,000."

America has furnished more gold and silvur?double the amount?than Europe, Africa and Australia put together; and only ?20,000,000 less than Asia has fuiuished since tlie beginning of the world. SEN AT0RIAL*F0RTIt AITS. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial contributes to tliy columns of that sheet tho following pen and ink sketch of sonic of the more prominent of our present Federal Senators: " I looked in 011 the Senate to-day.? General Cass is .1 ponderous old fellow, with a massive head, which ho covers with a rusty, old brown wig, and keeps I opening and shutting his mouth and sucking bis breath between his teeth, as if, lie constantly tasted somthing disagreea- j ble. John M. Clayton is more enormous than tien. Cass, and bis face, though fat, is magnificent, lie is the best looking man in the Senate, and laughs heartily at intervals from two to five minutes. His hair is as white as snow, and his big eyes glisten all the time with intelligence and humor. Seward is as stalwart in appearance as a pair of tongs. He does not weigh more than a hundred pounds.

Ilis face is thin, pale and wrinkled, but its lines are firm, and lie appears to be what he is?a man of restless intellect. Senator Duller, of South Carolina, is the thickest at tliu waistband, though not uncomfortably heavy. lii-a fi.co is blight, and his hair, which he wears loag and in a singular confusion, is white as newly washed lamb's wool. Jlale's appearance indicates that he lit* been fed liberally on fat pork ami butter-milk. I'ugh looks younger when among the old, bald or white headed and big-bel- : h'ed Senators than I ever before saw him. A majority of the Senators have naked patches on the top of their heads, anil quite half of them are the opposite of 1 slender. They chew tobacco very much ( as other folks, so far as 1 could discover, and immediately after adjournment several of them lit eiears. mid tannine* hurt an pearcd to feel comfortable." 1 Summer Travel.?The New York Journals state tlwit transatlantic travel is now all the fashion, and that, the wealthy and fashionable classes of the North, instead of visiting their own springs, will 6peud their summers in Europe, an object which can be accomplished as cheaply as a summer in their own watering places. The New York Herald states that since the 1st of May no less than two thousand seven hundred and forty persons have crossed the ocean in steamers from New York and Boston. We commend this interesting movement to the multitude of pleasureseekers at the South, who every summer turn their backs upon their own health-re siuiiug waters, lor mo purpose ot patronizing Northern springs. They will hereafter find those " bauquct halls deserted " hy the Free Soil aristocracy, and enjoy an entire monopoly of the leavings of those elegant people. They will observe that when the pleasute-liunters of that section change their places of amusement they never come South, although we have gnmd mountains, beautiful scenery, and the finest medicinal i waters on the continent. Thoy do not, however, reciprocate our politeness or our verdancy. They go to Europe, and graciously make way for us in the places which they have deserted, where, after drinking vile compounds, being fleeced by exorbitant landlords, and hustled about by free negroes, we come back with health and spirits much invigorated, and purses somewhat diminished. How long will southern men patronize those humbug resorts of Noithern parvenues ? IIow long will they in every conceivable way bestow upon their enemies "the sinews of war!"? Richmond Dispatch. Ice Manufactory.?At the Cuyahoga locomotive works, Cleveland, Ohio, there is an ice manufactory, where this article, it is said, is produced in merchantable quantities by purely artificial means. By means of a steam engine and sundry condensers ether is driven from a retort containing about three hundred and fifty pounds between a double range of iron plates, through which the water is pumped, and by the ether is convened into ice. The arrangement is not yet completed, but even now ice can be manufactured with the tli?rmnnriA?/>r n? no at b cobt of not more than half a cent per pound.; Wild Beasts in India.?The following is from a letter, writteu at Lahore, dated tho 1 th of February M You are probably aware that the country of the fine rivers is infested by wolves, bears and leopards, especially the first named, which have so multiplied of late as to become s national nuisance.

ABBEVILLE THESPIAN CORPS. "Wo had the pleasure of hearing this young company on the 11th inst. It was their lirst attempt to perfoim one of weu's celebrated plays, viz : The Lady of Lyons. It is not our habit to exaggerate or puff extravagantly, but wo must confess, that wo were agreeably disappointed. All ! the diameters were well sustained. Tlie ! i house was filled to overflowing?all seemed delighted. Tlie company will appear again on the 24th inst. They have, for their next performance, Pizarro, one of Sheridan's pieces. See their advertisement in another column. WHEAT CEOPS. From the best information we can obtain from different sections of the District, we judge that the crop of wheat will not exceed two-thirds of the average yield. It is only the red lands that have produced well this season. The excessive cold during the winter months, thinned the grain upon sandy lands so much, that the yield from them is materially diminished. SAVANNAH VALLEY RAIL ROAD. Notice of ;i in?.;etii?ij of tlie Stockholders is given in another eoluinu. The fate of this Road has for some time been suspended between hope and doubt. The proposed meeting will, no doubt, develop faeis > which will enable the public to determine whether the Road will be built or not. Its fate now hangs upon the action of Augusta. We still hope that all cause of dilHcultv may be removed, and that the enterprise may be successfully carried through. WASHINGTON. Rut little has been done in Congress f?>r some lime past. The House, for several days, met and adjourned tor want of a quorum to transact business. Wo suppose members have been too much engaged with the important, affair of determining who shall be next President. GUANO. A Guano Convention has been recently held in Washington City?the object of which was to devise a nlan bv which this 1 -J valuable fertilizer could bo furnished at cheaper rates to the agriculturists of this country. It is the common opinion that the Peruvian Government, as the proprietor of the Guano deposites, is disposed to extort too much from the farmer. Be this lis it may, if these Guauo deposites are the property of l'eru, we cau have no right to interfere and dictate the terms upon which she shall dispose of it. KANSAS* NEWS. Governor IIekdek is now in the North, drumming up recruits. Intense excitement prevails in Kansas. Military bands of both parties have been organized ill different localities. No regular set battle has as yet occurred. Tho Abolitionists have adopted j a kind of Guerrilla warfare. They sneak about in small parties, committing murder ! where an opportunity oilers without endangering their own lives. The Free State men have sent agents to tlie North to raise men and money. Warren* I). Wilkes, of Anderson, has returned South for the same purpose. At a recent Kansas meeting in Chicago, $16,000 was raised to equip men for Kansas. Meetings arc being held in various Northern cities with like results. The Legislature of Massachusetts has placed $20,000 at the disposal of the Governor, to aid the Free State party in Kansas. This is tho first State movement in aid of Kan&as. It is manifestly true, that anarchy and civil war rages in Kansas, to which th? North and South aro committed parties. It is true that South Carolina has 6cnt her ratio of gallant spirits to do battle for our cause?yet wo may hope that she will do more. FILLMORE'S ^ACCEPTANCE. Mr. Fillmore'b official acceptance of the nomination of the American party, has been received and publi?lied, in which he endorses fully the cardinal principles of the party, and refers to his former Administration as nn index of his future political course. Unless he can get the Black Republicans to unite with the American party, he will not be known in the contest. There is scarcely a probability of such union ; but should the two parties fraternise, it would render the result of the canvass more than doubtful. fhfe 8eoab8.

The Charleston Stum/ard states the fact, that some years since, hy a decision of the (..'ourl of Chancery in Charleston, two leg- J atees, both resident* of a I'Yco Slate, bo- j came entitled to a largo estate, consisting . of negroes, which of course they couhl not I hold in a Free State. Tlicy proceeded to ' sell the negroes. Among thein was a ser- ] vant who had a wife and seven children ; , the whole family of slaves were put up to- < giuiicr ior sale. Uno of the legatees ob- ' jected to the sale in such manner, supposing th?*y would bring more if sold separately. | This wish was obeyed. The &u>J legatee ( bought the husband and refused to sell him to the purchaser of his wife, except at con- I siderable profit. ' It so happens that the aforesaid purohas- ( er of this negro man, was no other than j Ahnf.ii Sumnkr, brother of Charles SumnKit, celebrated only for his negro philun- 1 thropy, and notorious from his difliculty j with lion.

ABOLITION*THEEVES. It is stated that two hundred and fifty ' slaves have been stolen or induced to escape from their masters in Kentucky and Vir- 1 ginia, during the month of February.

Innumerable efforts have been made by mathematicians to square the circle. It is now admitted by rational men that no such thing is possible.

Black Republicans.?The fitness of this designation to distinguish spurious Republicans from genuine is obvious. FirM. because spurious Republicans make the black man their principal stock in trade. Second. 13ecau.se the promotion of Sectionalism, i. e., the alienating of one portion of the Union from another, contrary to the counsels of tlie Father of his Country, and to patriotism and good neighborhood, is decidedly a black hearted business. Third. Because the negroes, in this part of the country at lea?t, generally belong to or sympathise with the Black Republican party. Fourth. Because it would he wrong to appropriate ! so good a name as Republican to such a p-irty. They have already spoiled several | good names?why should they he permitted to spoil another? lie ivitlim* t I Mark Republicans, all these difliculiics arc avoided. The use ol* tlio designation lias bccoiue a< common, or nearly so, as was that of Loco F??co four vuars sign, to distinjjjmi>l? an old fashioned Democrat, or as ' Pro-Slavery" is, for a man who does anything to lielj) th?j slaves, except hv stealing j (hem from their masters. The. hest way | for the Ulack Republicans is, to accept the ! designation, (as the Democrats did that of j Loci/ Koro,) and then, like I lie, latter, be have so well as to render il popular. This, ; however, they are n<>t likely to do.? A'Vw | Vorh Jonrwl of Commerce. j " Kill Vvwt.'1?At the Kansas aid meet I ing in Worcester last Saturday night, Dr. j Ciutler, from Kansas, said lie had proi cured one hundred and sixty-live Sharpe's j lithrs, which would soon he on llieir wav ; | ;md also that l.VOUU hall cartridges were | being made at Worcester and in ISostoti for j the actual settlers. A despatch from Worj cestcr, published by the Hoston papers, j says: i - .\ i:ti'2[? numl>cr ?1 men have volun ! leered for homes in Kaus;.s, and some of : the bravest and most experienced of the I military men in the county will take tlx* command.

Qucfn'c Line, of S leant ships.?The steamer Indian, which arrived at Quebec, on Monday night with four days later European news, is om; of the new line of screw steamers that have, commenced inn- J iiinbet ween the ports of Liverpool, Que- j j bee and Montreal. These steamers arc of j | medium size, well built, with models calcll- ; i luted to obtain a high rate of speed. The | i Indian made the passage in a little over ' i twelve days, and the friends of the line as{ scrt that these steamers will, in a short ! time, make the run from Liverpool in ten- i j and-a-half days or under. The names of | these ships are the " Indian," "Canadian." I "Anglo-Saxon," and " North American." JtU" A Paris letter states that Louis | Napoleon "intends to parcel out Africa into large fiefc and domains. wherewith to reward and endow his Marshal* ami General*. Iiis uticie parcelled out Knrope for this purpose, hut he had previously subdued it to his will. Such yifts will prove a source of embarrassment rather than of wealth to their recipients. The Emperor is. however, so intent upon this scheme, that his chief object in going to Algiers in September is to asccrliau whether the objections which his project lias excited are of sufficient importance to justify him in abandoning it." The Nicnraguan Minister.?The rumors put afloat thai Seiior Vijd, the Niearaguan ' | minister is about to return home, dissatilled i ! with the United States, are incorrect. lie j is represented by the New York Sun as ! well pleased with the country and tin: at- | tentions which he has received from both ' oflicial and private persons. I lis relations to the Church in Nicaragua and other duties may call him back as soon as his govcrnuicut can release him by the appointment of a suitable successor at Washington, but, for the present, he w ill remain al his j post. Prof. McGkiiee, of this State, lias adopted a new theory of health, based upon the principle of maintaining an equilibrium between the positive and negative electricities which exist in the human system and throughout nature. So sava the Columbus Sun. Scientific refinements on paper, brass clips and zinc plates, galvanic, rings, &c., arc common enough to newspaper readers, hut we presume Prof. McGciikk has some other mode of regulating the aberrations of the electric forces. gar a s. itithcrii Railroad Convention | is to he held next iii muIi in Virginia, to ; concert measures for a complete connection of Southern interests in this respect. A \ connection of the Virginia roads is hu*j- j gosted with the Georgia roads, and with the great Southwestern railroad, at pro-cnt terminating at Memphis, but destined to ..... & :.i 11 t :i connect. wiiii roomie, r*avnnuaii un?l New Orleans; ami it is urged that the Central Road, beginning at Richmond and passing through Oliarlotl?vill? and Staunton, should he pusticd iuto Kentucky and Southern , Ohio. Inquiring for a Husband.?The ladies of Moscow observe a curious custom on New Yexr'a eve. Precisely ?t 12 o'clock a servant is stationed at the front door of the house, and the first gentleman who passes is stopped and requested to give his Christian name. This is immediately told to the mistress, as it is believetf by her to he the name of her future husband. If no figure passes it is considered as tantamount that Uie lady will not be married that year. Early Rising.?I would inscribe on tho curtains of your bed fliid the walls of your chamber-?1" If you do not rise early, you can make no progress in nothing. If you do not set apart your hours of reading, if you suffer yourself, or any ono else, to break in upon tliern, your days will slip through your. hands unprofitable and frivolous, and uncn)oy*d i>y yourself.1'?J<ord Chatham.
