A 1 it i? all about lying, tlie leader nt.iy believe ; it, or not, just as lie likes : In the old North Slate lives a certain John Long, who draws a lou^ bow whenever lie hasanything to tell, and hiseliaraeter for I ruth has been below zero for many a vo ir. ! Captain Johnson had been so taken in bv one of John's outrageous stories, that he said ! to him in a pet : 'if you make me believe one of your lifts ! again in a month, J'l! give von fifty dollars!* i Jolm pretended to be hurt by tho ollci and went oil'. A few days afterwards he j was l-idilirr liv tbn / mlflii.'a ? I 0 _ J w.v v?|/n?iu a |JUOl-||j|9lC| 1>*I horseback, when the captain called out lo hint: '1 say! liillo, Johnny! stop arid tell us a lio or two this morning!' .John rode on, tut cried out most dolefully : 'No tiino for lying now; brother Jimmy ! has just been killed in the machine, ami I'm going for tho old folks.' On lie went. Capt. I ohnson ordered his horse, and rode over to sue the dead man and otter his services, bin found him alivoaud well, pinning prffton, and in nor danger of the machine. Just then John rode up and demanded the fifty dollars. The captain declared it was a rascally trick, but would have had to pay the money if John had not let him off.

Wise of Virginia, lias recently written nn interesting letter to the President of tlio Norfolk Exchange, in which lie advocates tho establishment of a direct trade with South America, us the Lest policy of promoting a European foreign trade. We make the following extract : The great rpiestion is : Is there enterprise and eapital enough in Richmond and Norfolk to establish four, if not four, two, if n"t two ou>- commercial steamer of IHjO or 1000 touB between Norfolk and Ilio ? It will require from a quarter of a million to one million only of capital; it requires agents tent out immediately to lirazil, and depots of coal to be estabi: i -1 imici uu me route ; ami nlun established it will b'- the tlirxl / Hry to draw us to a Euro ran fu.'iiyu trade. It will build lip a city and incicase capital and command exchange with Kurope and Brazil, and will educa'o agents and men of commerce lor us in both Europe and South America. It will make us tlic great mart of (lour and provisions for export, and of tlio coffee ainl bides and fruit for import, which trade with the new world will soon make u? rich enough to commence and carry on a direct foreign trade with the old. It. U. in my opinion, no paradox to say that the wiv .nost certain and speedy to get direct trade with Kurope and to be our own importers thence, is to head all our energies to our trade \ .1 the West Indies and South Amcr; ica, by a commercial .-team connection, and to make the latter bring about the former. Wo ( Iiuvc u'.i the materials, and il remains to bo scon whether we huve the wit to find out tlio ! means. One thing I must snv?let usbeushamI ed to litter one murmur ot sectional jealousy against Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, or Boston, while we have so much capacity iu 1 ourselves, and yet, like the fool of Horace, stand waiting 011 the banks of the Btream for the waters lo pass by before we cross over. Wo have wood, iron, coal, tar, pitch, turpentine, cotton and hemp, to build and rig and sail us ships. We have flour, pork, beef, tobacco, salt, auu every thing to export, and not a merchant to send it away and bring back its return oargoes. We have exports in abundance, and strangers have to send them away for us, and tl,?l. I. ? I- ! " - - - mu I L-1,III lia 10 ports outside of onr limits, and we arc but the retail shopkeepi;rs and consumers of importers in other States. This is not tlicir oppression ; it is our fault. We are not educated iu foreign trade. Let mo implore you to send some agents and factors abroad. Send some of your sons to Rio dc Janeiro, and to ports everywhere promising to us a foreign trade. Tench some one the wnys and means of carrying it on. If yon can't bring tho Ct rent Eastern from Europe, do start a cock boat to llio de Janeiro. From Ruasia.

"Wojtuke the liberty of copying a few observations of general importance: "Tlio interests of the two Governments (tho' Russian and American) nrc becoming daily more intiumto. Our increasing settlements and'* trade in California and on tbe Pacific arc bringing us into intercourse with Russian possessions, on the Autoor river and tlio Asiatic coast, as well as with their possessions iu America.? The trade of tho Ainoor river is immense,, something like $80,000,000, a year, and growing very rapidly. I have consuls under my jurisdiction through Asia as well as in Europe, and their reports and accounts to me bring mo into ollioiftl communication with a largo portion of the globe. I had no idea that the actual business of this office was as extensive and important as it is. "Wo have large American merchant houses in this city; and American, ships at Cronstudt are more numerous than those of any other nation except. Great Britian.. Thirteen ships arrived this season direct from Charleston and New Orleans, loaded with cotJon, without having touched at Liverpool at mi, ns lias Hereto tore been the case. The direct trade must increase every year.
