"When the Whigs resumed office in 1846, Mr. Macauley was again offered a seat'in the Capinet, as. the price of those brilliant orations with which he was wont, from time to time, to dizzle the House of Commons, and reflect lus tieon 'iUi party. But he stipulated tha) he should'not be obliged to accept any post which would occupy his time, or deirb him: from the pursuit of histo ry, He was therefore nominated Pay. maater of the Force, and continued to hold that office, until his rejection by his' constituents at Edinburgh threw him out of Parliament, and left him, 'unuticumbered either by official or sen atorial duties,to- pursue his historical ork'in which he- was himself so deep 'ly iterested." TE BEAUTY or AmERC1AN WOlAN. .--Mr. Mackay, an English banister, has published his travels in the United States. The following is an extract in lation to the beauty -of American wo "There are two points. in which it is seldom equalled, never excelled-the classic chastenes and delicacy of the features, and the smallness and exquis te syminetry of the extremities. In "the latter respect, Iarticularly, the American ladies are singularly fortun ate. I have seldom seen one, delicate. lybrought up, who had not a fine hand. The feet are so generally very small and exquisitely moulded, particularly tho of a Maryland girl; who, well aware of their attractiveness,bhas a thou sand little coquettish ways of her own of temsptingly exhibiting them. That in which the Aimerican woman are most deficient is rouri less of figure. But it is a mistake to suppose that well roun dod'forms are not to be found in Amer ica. Whilst this is the characteristic of English beauty, it is not so prominent a feature in America. In New Eng land, in the mountainous districts of Pennsylvania and Maryland, and in the central valley of Virginia, the female form 'is generally speaking, as well rounded and developed as it is here; whilst New England complexion is in niecases out of ten, a match for an English one. This, however, cannot be 'said of the American ladies as a class. They are, in the majority of cases, over delicate and languid; a defect chiefly superinduced by their want of exercise. 'An English girl will go thfrough as much exercise in a forenoon, without dream ing of fatigue, as an American will in a day, and be overcome by the exertion. It is also true, that American is more evanescen; than English beauty, partic ularly in the South, whore it seems to fade ore it has well bloomed. But it is mhorelastingintheorth*Jand North-east remark which will apply to the whole -* region north of the Potomac, and east of the ILakes; and I have known instances "of Philadelphia beauty as lovely and 'enduring as augy that our hardy climate can produce.' GREAT FLOOD AT CarIOAO.--The bipakmg up of the ice has caused de struction of property to the amount of $209,000, and several lives have been 19RL.

I can be so considered onlydwenu .1h6se doncerin ed aire.indisposed to iry it &.kw6uld seem that one would-announue a:silly. pioposi. tlion to.pffirm.that a farmeror anynuni. ber of farmers, having Ueedzto buy .,boots, hats, or any.other articles,!,would find'it impracticable to decline to buy from par-. ticular msrohants, who were hostile, and with whom' -the farmer, has no desi-e to deal, when there are five-hundred others, whorare just' as able, ready, and anxious to sell, who are his friendsiand;with whom he. prefers to deal., - Yet, such is precisely the.proposition advanced by..thoso who maintain that it is impracticable for us t6 discontinue our commercial dealings with the North, and to turn our trade into other channels at least as wide, profitable and desirable. It may be said however, that our pre. existing commercials have so entangled us with the non slave holding States, that we cannot now, without great inconvenience and sacrifice, cease to trade with then. Grant it-but does it follow, that because it will require some sacrifice,. and, put us to inconvenience, that therefore it is- im. practicable? Then all acts of any.. ini. port would, upon such reason, be imprac. ticable-which to say, is absurd. - At a future time, we will undertake to show that the sacrifice and inconvenience ne. cessary to be encountered, will be trifling in comparison with the great ends to be attained. It cannot be that the impractica. bility is the objection to such a measure. There issomething beyond, which- time perhaps, will close-fhr it is most mani. fest that the people of the South have but to sa~fhat they will not buy from the North, and no power on earth can compel them. Among the more prominent causes of ob. jection will be found, as well a want of energy and fortitude to face the issue as the fact: that there exists too strong a re presentation of the enemy in our midst. We are not forced to resort to reasoning merely, to show that non-intercourse with thoss in hostility with us can be adopted, and that effectually; but our history and experience as colonies will, in some mea. mure, afford illustration. The motives too, or action now, on our part, are a thou. 5and fold stronger than in the colonial time, while our present condition is great. ly move favorable.-The patriots of the Former time wvere moved to resistance by :omparatively trivial causes-a trifling tax yn stamped paper, or three pence per ound on tea, were amongst the apparent 3auses, while in fact, they wvere niovcd ntirely by principle, the importance of wvhich we do not intend to underrate. We ave reason to be moved (although we are mot,) as well by the same high principle, as by the most barefaced aggressions, in mIt and oppression of every desor iption - by the necessity of saving ourselves from utter ruin and disgrace. They wvere fee. lble, and to a great extent, necessarily do. pendant, while we are strong, if not un manned by terror, wholly independent of our enemies, if we dared to assert it. Many, while they condemn this measure as impracticable, say that disunion, noth ing short of disunion is practicable. There is something, inconsistent in such posi. Lions. Can it be supposed that those wvho eannot be brought up to the lesser req uire. meat, will dare to face thme greater? A nd yet one or other is admitted on all sides to be necessary. There may be some purpose in this to render us to inaction-bringing our peo. ple to the condition of a collapsed wind. bag, all bluster and no action--'sound and Fury signifying nothing." Besides is the Union to be dissolvedl and our trade and commerce with the A bolitionists to continued undiminished; are wve still to feed and clothe, and buil hem up in their pride and insolence, by wearing to the end the shameful yoke of 3ommercial dependence? What then be. ~omes of the great Southern Republic, so ;audily pictured--..opening its exhaustless reasu res, pouring out its countless wvealt h, nfolding its mighty powvers, if wve must till suffer howling hypocrites, and fiaa ical money worshippers to top and drain he fountains of her life? If trade andI ~ommerce are to continue unaffected, wvhat iaarm would a dissolution of the Union be o them? What possible good be to us, ione. No, if the Union must needs be hissolvedl, absolute non-intercourse, at once adopted, will he the best mode to prepare ho country from the condition and conse luenees that would follow. It shall be )reserved, this is the mode, that by (level. >pmng our capabilities, will always secure n equality, respect, and powver-a..nd start as in the path of unexampled success. At a future day we propose. unless your aolumns will be more worthily failed, to ixammne the efficacy of this measure, and o advance some reasons to show why it >ught to be adopted wvithout delay.

TO THE RIEADER The assumptioi of an Editorial chargo at any time is one of considerable deli cacy, and it is peculiatly so in the pres ont case, being, in a r siire, a comparativo stranger, although famil iar with, the' passing events connected' with the interest of the South. Edu cated at the North'in A, school.f toler ance and observation it-has been my lot to be classed as a "Northerii man with Southern principles" and the brief era of my editorial life lieretofore has been. identified with the South, its institutions its rights and .interests. The, uderta., king is also rendered more delicate *at the present absorbing and vitaly inter esting period of the history of the Un ion. A time when the South has to vin dicate and uphold its institutions against Northern fanaticism, rendered pecular ly necessary at this crisis, by a new administration, entering into the dis charge of its duties, wavering between a sense of right and wrong, and which the enemies of Union and of South ern institutions are daily rendering more pliable to suit their machinations. The South needs advocates to rouse the administration to a 3ense of its ditties, to award it justice and to prevent the furtherance of the disorganizing influ ence of the North-to be such an ad vocate we shall strive to render the Banner. The Banner will still be the advocate of the Distriet, idenltified in all its in terests and movements. Th'at great and important enterprize-ithe Wil mington & Manchester Rail Road shall always demand our warmest support. The furtherance of educational and so cial interests, new enterprizes, by which the capital and talent of the district may be commanded, the sipiiaino agricultural measures and the su Nin acy of law and order will find ac tive support iui our coluns, and in using our best endeavors to cater for the public taste, we shall strive, actup. ted by a sense of right, to avoid giving offence by word or actio.n.
