^k i.v commonly believed that, during the
early powida i woimpUmifioBrofW inhabitants
were more youthful and perfect;
jbyf tiiowe primitivo men had a gigantic size,
TSe^WTrtrangtH, ahda most astorfishing'
duration of life. A variety of such notions
Were long prevalent among mankind; and
to these we are indebted for tlioorigin of romantic
tales. Some have not hesitated seriously
to ascribe to our forefntheV, Adam, !
41m height of nine hundred yards, and the |

and tational Investigation of modern philos-!
opby has c.mvcrted the supposed bones of
giauts found in different parts of the earth,
&to those ofthe elephant and rhinoceros;
and acute UteoIugisU have shown the chrptrology
of' tlwj early age was not the Mme
as that used at present....
Some, particularly 1 lender, has proved,
with the highest'probability, that the year,
till, the time of Abraham, consisted only of
thtiM-iaontka; and that it was afterwards
extended to eight ; and that it was not until |
the time,of Joseph it was made to consist of
tofelve. These assertions are, in a certain deconfirmed
by soido of the fcastern nations,
who still reckon three months to the
year, and besides, it would have shortened
bneP-half immediately after the Hood. It
wottld be equally inexplicable why the pntriarohs'did
not mnrrv till their sixtieth, J
seventieth, and even hundredth- year; but j
this difficulty vanishes when we reckon these J
genaccording to the before-mentioned stand- .
aril, which will give the sntnc period at which
people marry at present.
The whole, therefore, according to the ex- >
idanalicn, assumes a different appearance. '
The sixteen hundred years before the' Hood ;
will become four hundred and fourteen ; and
tfte nine hundred years (the highest record- j
qd,) which Methusalnli lived, will l?e reduce*] i
to two hundred?hii age which in not impos- i
si hie, and to which some men in modern times ;
havo nearly approached.
In profane history, we have nn account of
many, heroes and Arcadian Kings of those
periods, who attained the age of several hundred
years, but these pretended instances of
longevity can be explained in the same manner.
With the period of Abraham, a period
when history seems tirst to be established on :
more certain grounds, we find mention of a
duration of life which can U? still attained,
and which no longer apjiears extraordinary,
especially when we consider the tcinjieratc !
manner in which the patriarchs lived ; and j
that a* they \Verc nomads, or a wandering j
people, they were much exposed to the free :
oj>cu air.
Dram Drinkers in England.
The Journal of Commerce comments, in
an -article on "drain drinking in England,"
on the new law which has just gone into
operation there for the suppression-*-or at
least the regulation?rof tippling on the Sabbath.
This law, we are told, has already
been productive of the most gratifying ef I
fects, both in a moral and 9ocia! aspect. The
measure, though, is but u linlf-away one after j
all, but nevertheless ii is a good beginingfor
a reforut, which has loiig been wanted. As 1
many as a hundred thousand persons have 1
been tAken into custody, annually, by the .
police in England and Scotland for drunken 1
and disorderly conduct! Such is actually
the fact, a shown .by the police returns, and '
of that number a* many as sixty thousand ' (
were females. The Journal adds : I
"This, too, only of the towns having a pop-)
ulatioti of not less than 10,000 people, of i'
which there are 101 in England, and 10 in ,
Scotland. On the oth April there" were in j |
various jails and houses ot correction' in Eng- j
laud, as many as 20,143 prisoners, the offen-!
ces of probably a majority of whom might
be traced, it is believed, to indulgence in intoxicating
drinks. But what else is to he ex- j
petted from the varied and multiplied facili-j
ties provided for the popular addiction to this )
disorganizing and debasing vice in that conn- |
try f What are we to think of a country not I'
much larger?though more populous than ! <
the State of New York, having more than a <
hundred thousand establishments licensed for I,
this mischievous purpose? A proportion of (
them are only licensed for the sale of beer,
But these houses are generally the worst conducted
of all, and as respects the whole hun- 1
dred thousand, they evidently contribute
more to the disorder of society and the com- I
mission of crime, than all the other influences, ; (
whether from without or from within, put, j
together. When an evidence of their bane- |
fnl influence is there not to l>e found in the j'
fact?to say nothing else, for it is pregnant ' ?
with evil?of the duty aloue of British spirits i
only, amounting to upwards of six rtiillicns j ,
^ and a quarter of pounds, or more than thir- i
jty-one milliona of dollars annually. And 11
this is independent altogether of some five j'
millions of jgHllons of rum cohsuined, and I
some ten millions of brandy and geneva, and i
seven millions of gallons of foreign wines."

cholera was committing such fearful ravages (

office of the Wlu'j in that place, contained

It will be seen by refering to our news. ^
column that the allied fbrceaof England and .
France -hare ifacceoded in capturing the
strong-hold of the Russians?Sevastopol. It
certniuly'Vraa one of th?r greatest military. ,
achievements of the Age,-if we may rely upon
the iuforrriation in our poesinsion, Russia
having it is said used nil her means to makeit
impregnable, in case it was attaeked eitket by t
land'or sea. <4 . ' +
We cannot say what the ultimate conse- {
rjuenccs will be. One thing is certain, it ,
will prove of lasting benefit to the cominer- (
cial ?yorld. Already a favorable change ,
is noted in the money and cotton mar- ,
kets. For a great while the tardy move- ,
mcnts of England and France, in the Cri- j
inea Expedition, had the effect of putting a
cheek to the commercial affairs in tlie-SMst,; |
w hicli resulted in the fall of stocks of all: i
kinds. We look with the greatest anxiety ;
for future developments. ,

LaUoe flocks of these bifds have l>een flying
over our village and the mountaii 8 for i
the past few days, wending their course west-j .
ward, perhaps in search of a more congeni-1
at atmosphere, or most probably, like many j1
of our citizens, they have been taken with i'
the emigration fever. They have afforded j '
much amusement to our young sportsmen, i!
some of whom have killed six and seven, j *
sometimes more, at one shootmg.
KANSAS TERRITORY/ t
Last week wc gave our reader* an nc
count of the commencement of the first news- \ '
paper in this territory at the city of Lonven-vj1
worth. Wc have been enabled to furnish j1
additional items concerning this new city in i
embryo. It may no doubt prov e interesting |
to our readcis. / |.
The "City of Leavenworth," is situated a '
bout a mile and a half below Fort Leaven- j
worth, is "laid out" into streets, squares, <tc., J |
and is growing with truo Western rapidity J
and thrift. It is destined to become u large |'j
and important place of business. It is not j (
far from the new city of Kick a poo !
A large number of hands are engaged in '
cutting out the streets of the city !
The population of the city is nearly as follows:
99 men, 1 woman, 0 bahiea. Total t
100. Tiidv a flourishing and nroinwiin* .

:own. j . ^ 1
. Leayemvorth was already talked of as the'
fnture capital of Kansas. We trust it will t
linve some tiling to fill a school house with
before the capitol is built.
Of the 90 male inhabitants, of the city,
10 udvertise themselves as "Attorneys and
Counsellors at Law !" There is one physi- (
[ inn, a hotel, a steam sawing mill, several1 <
by good stores, a book store, drugstore, and ! t
other trading establishments.
?
Tiik Ccban Expedition.?According to ! I
.lie Washington correspondent of the New j c
Vork Tribune, confidential agents of the Cut>an
expedition now fitting out under tho
command of General Quitman have recently i
jeen in Washington to ascertain how far the J
idministration are favorable to the scheme |
ind will tolerate its execution. Repeated pri- j
/ate interviews wore had with the President l
tnd Secretaries, the result of which was not
sncouraging to the projectors. Secretary
Nlarcy declared himself inflexibly hostile to
the whole undertaking, aud the majority of
the Cabinet are with him. ,
The Rev. Dr. Bakeij, (who by the way,,
is one of the most remarkable men of his
age,) in bis Sermons to Children, relates a
circumstance of his own life which produces!
a deep and lasting impression on the tniud* >
of all who hear him :?thus, he tell# us thei
affectionate disposition of his little daughter [ (
?how she asked for him when he was away
from home, and Jiow she clapped her little1 <
hands to meet him on his reiurn, and ran I
out crying, "Father is coming!" Then how '
she observed on due occa '< n, Why Father
you've preached all the hair o It your herfd !" ,
At this the little folks are inclined to laugh; :
but their smiles all give place to tears, when j
ho proceeds to tell how she took sick ami ,
died. Then, lie tells them, in his earoeet (
and impressive manner, that when he dies, (
he expects to go to ITeaven; and that the ,
first one to greet him wlnn he arrives, will j
be his little daughter, clapping her hands
with joy, crying "Father is coming! Father '

Commercial, that a highly interesting and ;
xciting discussion occurred in the Confer-1

lie Rev. Mr. Langard to withdraw from that sidy,
and surrender his ministerial authority. (
dr. Langard is charged with holding and
reaching auti-Methodistical doctrine, vial '

Facts In Natural History.
The editor of the Athens, Ga., Watchman,
in his paper of tho 12th,. publishes to the
world some highly intefesting facts in natur- C
al history. We are inclined to think the p
aforesaid editor is considerably interested in d
having a knowledge of this important branch

among the sporting community, and so we

What Causes the Gulf Stream. ; p]
Mr. Stanton Sholcs, nn experienced nav i- j oi
Statp.r, gives! it aw his opinion that the waters ' w
the Gulf Stream are notliing more or less | o<
than the waters of tho river Amixon. Tbiy i
great father of wateivjs bodded inore than I V
1000 miles immediately under the equator,; I]
litul all its tributary streams for many thou- w
sand miles are constantly pouring their hot ?<
water into this mighty reservoir of water.? L
As these waters are gathered in under tho a
burning sun of the equator, it i? extremely p
warm ; far more so than the Atlantic Ocean ti
waters under the equator. The great body c<
of heated water shoots out into the Atlantic ti
more than a hundred miles, in the facoof the h
eternal traJe winds. , n
Tho Amixon is sixty miles w ide, after be- si
ing belted in its irresistable course, it curves s<
ntt to the left and scuds off before the strong o'
trade winds till out of their reach. Driven S
idong with great force, it takes its course j ti
round the great bay formed between the two w
coutiiffents of North and South America.? 1 p
Dashing along the northern coast of South 1
America, passing to the leeward of tho West i li
India Islauds, it leaves the shore of Cuba, ! U
and proceeds along the shores of Florida, the j V
capes of Virginia and the soutlicoast of North i
America and passing tho shores of New- . o
foundland, ends its mission among ths ice- ; w

Her intelligence is of a highly important ;

A great battle had been fought in the

Sevastopol had fallen, and the city was in

when the mouse was made to run near liim,

Keeping Cool.
A correspondent of the Democratic Courier,
from Cincinnati, tells a story of a fellow
who was found in the gutter, and taken before
the Mayor, when tlie following diatdgift
took place : . r
"David," Raid liis honor, n* soon as be laid
his eyes ou Mr. Jones, "are you here agaib I
Did you not premise me last week that vou
would not get drunk again if I would let
you off i"
"Keep, oool, your honor, replied Dave,
with brazen impudence, "keep cool?and
that's what I have been trying to do."
"But you aro charged with being boaalljr
drunk, aud wore lying in the gutter."
"Drunk?not guiltv. Lving in the gutter?guilty
r
"What were you lying in the gutter for,
if your were not drunk V
"You see, your honor," replied Dave, with
the air of a lawyer, "it was monstrous hot

Important Indian Tkkaty.?Intelligence
from the Like Superior country state* that
the Commissioners on the part of the United
States were about coucluding a treaty with
the Chippewa Indians, for all the lands east '
of the Mississippi river, which embraces the
American portion of the north shore of Lake
Superior, a region containing immense min- ?
erul wealth. Miunesota will derive great advantages
from this treaty, the lands ceded all
being within that territory. A reserve- .
tion will be provided for the Indians, and
measures taken to promote their civilization.
Printing on G^ass.?Mr. Whipple, of
lioston, has patented a method of engraving
or printing on glass, which opens up a wide
field for mechanical industry and ornamental
taste, by reproducing rapidly and cheaply on
the surface of glass vessels of any usual form,
or even upon ordinary window gloss, any ,
device desired. Measures are now in pro- .?/
gross to establish a manufactory for the production
of glassware thus ornamented, in
competion with the imperfect and feeble engraving
heretofore only prepared by a tedious
process of grinding dcxteriouely upon a
revolving stone. Like the oM process,
method of engraving is pure mechanical, no
acid or other corroding agent being employed,
except in the preparation of the patterns.
The oldest church now existing in the
United State* is one near Btnithfield, Isle ct

in English oak, and was framed in Eng- . I
land. The structure is of brick, erected in
tlw most substantial manner. The mortar
has become so hardened that it will strike
Arc in collusiou with steel. ,

Gov. Hrighsm Yoong, of Utah Territory,
