Those who are satisfied with receiving the *l necessaries of life, without grasping for un substantial riches ana honors, are alone truly happy. This was the sentiment of Aristides, a noble Athenian ; and by living up to it, he was happy. Plato says of him, "Aristides studied to fill Athens with virtue." To have such a line recorded of you, what greater honor could you desire! You are laboring, perhaps, for that which will neither benefit yourselves nor those who come after ou and are never satisfied. Expect but little strive for less-possess a good heart, and when you are dead, virtue will be reflected from your monumental stone, UPRIGHT MEN. We love your upright men. Pull them this way and the other, and they only bend, but never break. Trip them down, and ini a trice thaw are on their feet again.

We would invite the attoation of the pa. rents and friends of the der and dumb chil dren, ciatzens of this State, to a school which has recently been opened at Cedar Springs, Spartanburg District, (a situation roinakablo for heah and pure water,) by Mr. N. P. \Val kor, principal for the education of the deaf and di tnb. We recently visited the school, and wore :nuch gratified at the progress made by the pupils, and have no hesitation in saying, that their proficiency would compare most favora lly with the pupils in any of the common schools of the country:and so far as we are competent to judge, we regard the principal as fully competent to instruct nutes in the prim try branches of their education. Parents who are able to incur the expense of edinating their unfortunate children, and would desire to have it done at a convenient distance from their homes, and in their own State, we recommend to visit 'he institution, exanine, and judge for thenmselves, .The unhignent pare:. who is desirous that his child slhou'd receive the benefits of the school, but who is unable to remunerate the teacher, will be furnished with the necessary unds from the money appropriated by the Legislature of this State for that purpose, (until the sine smay be exhausted by applica tions pr.or in point of tine,) by signifying his wish to Col. G. G. Menninger, of Charles ton, Conimoissioner of the De it and Dumb for the Lower Division, or to Thornas N. Daw kmin, of Unlion, Commissisner of the Upper lDiv sion.

The sanatory regulation af Charleston and Savannah, and the strict at tention to cleanliness have been productive of the best resultsand those flying from the pestilence of New York orBoston could have found a safe retreat in Charleston or the up. country during the summer where not a sin gle case of cholera has been known and hard. ly any other disease of the season been heard of.

New York, by its proximity to the sea and its vas amount of tonnage, will always be the favor, ite port for the landing of emigrants, and, o late, ships of 1500 and 2,000 tons have been built for the accommodations of such class o passengers, some of whom purchase a ticke for ten or fifteen dollars. All the paupers o Europe will land on the wharves of that city and all those emigrants of a better class seek ing their forturnes in the New World wil sail for New York and diverge with comfor and convenience to any part of the interio; of the Union.

An excellent joke on the present adnin:s tration is the appointment of a French cook Mons, lIEUDJEDELT tothe consulsnip at Lyons France.
