Some days to his death, lie walked out into his fliftrden. and on his "retnrn reqiflrfced to ly^ wifi?, uf have taken my lakt,walk, upon tfio earth."

He did die on that day, and thus waft his premonition realized.?These facte, are gathered from an obituary in the Southern Christian Ail. vocate. i _ - ? ? { Tho Hngnenot Dinner.

Commercial Education. 1 ............. nt.J: i ? t > i-imiiAin, nnitiiyni, JLiCgai, ana i ueoiogical schools, lmvo long been as familiar terms tons ns "household words;" but we have i before us a pamphlet comprising a catalogue gml circular of a collcgo located in the city 6f Baltimore, of a kind not so familiar. It is "CfTAMnKHLiN'H Commercial College." The design of this Institution is to educate young men with a special view to an adaptation for mercantile pursuits, and we arcsure the idea is a good one. Indeed, it is our couvictiun that any institution looking to the thorough preparation of its pupils for any honorable department of business cannot be otherwise than good so far as it accomplishes its design. The existence of medical, theological, and legal schools is an acknowledgment of the principle that young men should be trained in the way they are designed logo; and if, desiring to pursue the labors of the physician or of the divine. it is deemed desirablo to educate specially for such pursuit, where is the reason that lie who expects to earn his bread by threading (liq^huzardous and intricate mazes of comshould not likewise be educated with A'vioW.-.to his future vocation ? True, it is not altogether so important that the merchant should have had a commercial education as that the doctor a medical or the preacher a theological one, whether we consider it as conducive to the succcss of the individual or to the benefit of the community. A doctor would get no practice if he had not a medical education ; or, if he rrot practice, and such pay as might fill Inn | moujiiaml coverjjis back, the health of Iiis customers would Hill l?o dependanton something worse than "inere chance. In other words, the ignorance of a physician not only affects himself; but if, being surrounded by a community as ignorant as himself, he obtains a patronage, it affects very seriously and lastingly others. The minister, too, should be an educated man?theologically educated ; for, despite tlic boasted freedom and independence of thought in this "great country," his ignorance or wisdom is often the ignorance or wisdom 01 many*in Ins Mock. Tliey believe what lie believes, and hencc if he is in error, they arc wrong. * Tims .vc see how iguoy.inco in these professions affect, and vitally affect, the interests of others than those who pursue them.? Not so much is society affected by the incompetency of the merchant. If he fails to manage his affairs discreetly, and a "smash'' results, himself and may be a few creditors 'are the sufferers. No injury necessarily TnCllltQ *l?n 1 ~ .... IV v..v; Iivmui ui Iliurais 01 mose concerned ; llic injury is alone to the pocket, and wliiol^ honesty, industry, and time may wholly repair. Allure in business is a costly but a valua.b1ff)|g|bn. j. We conclude, ttt^Ltliat whatever may be the contemplated course of the $*oung man, he should be prepared beforehand, as thoroughly as may bo, for a successful and useful prosecution of^thatcburse. lie should not wait to learn by experience ; for her lessons are oftctfc dearly bought Tho Force of Habit. Some one, in the spirit of tru?nlii1r>snr>liTr 1 l"V> has said that uHabit is a second nature."? So many have been the practical illustrations of this maxim, and so deeply have we experiencedjts truth, there is no chance to gainsay it Every man is a living example of its truth. Habit makes, and habit ruins. It is spine men's degradation and curse, whilst it is the morality, virtue, and even reJjgion of others. It is habit that does ranch to bpggar- mankind, and fill the earth ^ith misery, arid groans, and tears. It perpetuates dr(!fltfcenncss, and fills thousands of grates with drunkards. Oh 1 a fearful master t and it upon us so noiselessly, 0id winds its meshes so,quietly, that we dream not of its approach utiiil its chains wax too galling for endurance, and alas f too strong for severance! * ' ' Bad habits wo should endeavor to shun; v?w oiiuuiu cnensti and perpetuato. Believing thus, we pursue our habit of commending to notice such business advertisements R8 we deem worthy of public regard, and of acknowledging when we are the recipient of a testimonial of friendship. A few days ago, a handsome and valuable specimen of North Carolina c^imeres. was placed upon"%ir stand.

His success, it was remarked to us on a recent occasion, ,i is a striking evidence of the policy of judicious advertising.

Discovery of Sir John Franklin. This daring navigator sailed from England, if \vc mistake not,in 1845, on an expedition of discovery. Sinec that time, until very recently, his fate has remained concealed Lady Frankln, from time to time, has of fered magnificent rewards for his discovery, and various fruitless expeditions have sought to find and rescue him. The following telegraphic dispatch from Montareal, dated 20t!i iust., announces tho discovery of his rcl . ' ! mains ;? ! * /** ?* ' * - j\ u omciai dispatch lias been received in this citv from Sir George Simpson, Gov emor of Hudson's Bay Territory, giving ?i full and melancholy narration of the particulars relative to the discovery by Indians ol the remains of Sir John Franklin and the company under his command, who from tin facts ascertained, it appears were starved tc ! death in the Spring of 18o0, near Fox lviv er. Indeed there is little doubt of the correctness o'' the statement, as the Indians wlic brought the intelligence have shown various articles belonging to the expedition, sonic of ivl.b.l. -- - ?... uuuiia uiiiiiu engraven thereon, and also a written narrative of thcil suflercings left by the last survivor. The ships were crushed by the ice. Street Taxation. In retiring from ollice recently, the Towr Council of Greenville presented through tin Patriot an expose of what had been theii policy and action during their adiniuistra lion. We extract a paragraph relative to their mode of distributing street taxes, ant commend it as, in our judgment, a just and enuitablfi nrinr?inl<? in cnr>li 'ri.. . i -I? am i proper adjustment of it, however, to ever} individual ease may prove somewhat difli cult:? It was considered proper, in raising the necessary revenue, to recognize the principh that property should bear its clue and jusl part of tlic burthen of Taxation, as well as labor; and not put all the expense of iin proving and keeping up tlie streets on labor us has been heretofore the practice. Wi thought.Ulic manof capital, who used tin streets, and wore and impaired them, b\ running his pleasure carriage, omnibus, back drny or wagon, should pay proportionally more to keen them un tlinn tln> nm who only used the sidewalk for .any of hit purposes. And again, that the property holder in real estate ought to pay a largei part of what was necessary to improve the town, than the mere sojourner who owned no real estate, and we have adjusted the taxation accordingly.

Most of the sharpest <*uts, however, that they receive s originate among themselves, and are cvi. dently designed more for pastime than to make a lasting and prejudical impression on the mind of the reader. It is said that there is no rule without ex i ceptions; ami if we may bo permitted to purge the editorial corps of a few such char, acters as IIohace Gukei.v, of the New York . Tribune, whose fiendish malignity has long , since superseded all the nobler feelings ol human nature, implanting in their stead . deadly hatred of their kind, their country, i and God, and who seem to exist, like Pn.v. 11 aou's plagues, expressly for annoyance? we say, if we may be permitted to divest i the editorial fraternity of a few such eliar acters as here alluded to, we have at once a 1 class of individuals who, next to the inspired ... r . i* ?

This may seem to the unobservant as saying too much ( in behalf of the class in question : but let . us examine the matter a little further, and > see if the facts do not justify the position I assumed. Of course it is not to be presumed that the writer is personally acquainted with the half of those who make up the list ol editors in the United States, hence it is apparent that the grounds on which is prodi' rated the high claims we have set up for ; them, is simply the manner in which their r several journals, periodicals and magazines - A ...i ?x .1 : i iniu i* iiul liiis grounu amply sufficient to justify what we have ami ' may pay? With the private or moral char1 acter of the editor, whatever it may ho, we have nothing to do. It is the precept, and not the example, that justifies our con<*lu' sion. Ninetcen-twentieths of. the periodicals now issued in the United States areun! sparing in their deiuinci;itioiis ofcrime, and < in most instances are equally zealous (he it . said to their imperishable honor) in eudeav. oring to uphold tlie cause of morality and , virtue. And in almost every instance (we feel bound to admit, from long experience and close observation,) wo find none so ready, so prompt, and so indefatigable in their r exertions to ferret out the outlaws that infest i society; whilst there are none more disposed 1 to award the meed of praise to the justly | meritorious. , Then, gentle reader, have wc 6aid too | much? If so, we tamely submit to the reps rimand of an impartial public. We will add no more. Justice to our cause would not admit of our saying less. Ouachita. 1 Trial of Dr. Gunter.?The ease of Dr. E. L.
