THE MOTHERS OF GREAT MEN.
Tlit- onlv two satisfactory instances given
by Mis. Kllis of 11 lumber whose son whs
reallv gn-a), and a direct and traceable
influence on that greatness, nro llio instances
of ?he mother of St. Augiistinu and
ilie mother of Napoleon. Not only was St.
Augustine a very remarkable man and
Monica a very remarkable womm, hut the
son owed to the mother the direction of his
thoughts, tho purpose of his life, and the
sonne of liis greatest enjoyment. In those
moments when St. Augustine was conscious
t!mt lit) reached the l?ij?li<*?t pitch of spiritual
exultation, he was also conscious that his
mother srare.l ns high as he did. It would
he an nl'iise of language to term Monica n
great woman in the same wav we term St.
Augustine a Great tnan. for ho added to the
piety nnd sublime fcidins of his mother a
r?-inaidegre.o of literarv power and a :
crro'it rango of thought^ \Vu must also

ruul St. Augustine is principally to he called |

Hut lli* of his thoughts and feelings j
liis ti>odi? of viewing tl?p relations hot ween .
Iiitn?<-if. fiod ami the world had been dcriv- j
d from hi* mother. Tn :i similar way we can !
race a clear afTinitv between the character j
mil mental constitution of Napoleon anil j
lio^oof his mother. There was thesluhwirnnc-s
the fanif largenos? of thought, the
iiimo meanness in certain aots of common
if<', lite same resolute determination to
>nforce tlie burden of their own personal
iscemlancv on all around them.
Tln're was in the mother a Corsican fitipsse !

inquiry as to (ho influence of mothers on ;

[tut ilu*ro is no reason to suppose that the |
]iialili?;s which make a man peat are more ,

mytlnng, it proves that there is no rule |

Lsnt week, while fJeti. McQueen wns in our
town ?m a vicil lo relations nn<l friends, n portion
of our citir.en* in token of their respect determined
to compliment liiin l>y a serenade.
Having procured n bund of music ami formed a
torchlight pmccesioh, they proceeded to the
i residence of Capt Tliomaw B. Jeter, of wlioae
j elegant hospitality tho General whs partaking
I oil (hut evening. Being loudly called for, Gen.
: McQueen appeared upou ilie verandah and
| made a most happily conceived ami eloquent
j speech. After a few graceful preliminary re?
' mink* liG l)roAcliL?<l llie pront nrduiiiont of
Southern wrongs; allowed that tlio relative
| strength anil ability' of the South lo protect
j herself from unjust legislation in the Union
| was declining; and that the element of oppoj
sition to Southern institutions had grown into
I a controlling majority at the North, that dei
nied uk our clearest rights under the Const it uI
lion. He was of the opinion that throughout
I this whole controversy we had gained no ml*
I vantatre or security ; hut that the condition of
j thinirs nan now more threatening than ever
before; 'hat it was entirely possible that a
j Hlaek Republican would be elected next I'resi
dent of the United States, upon the ground of
his hostility t<>Southern rights and institution.-.
With tliii possibility in view we should <lt?
uiand the clearest recognition of our equality
in the Union, and req'1'ie the strongest guarantees
of the protection of our rights wherever
they ar?i exposed to hazard, through either the
neglect or the active opposition of the government
or its agents. These demands of course
would not. he complied with by a Black Republican
President, and a triumphant Black
Republican party. When refused, then it.
would liecumo our solemn duly, to take the
fitlmit:itstrnIiciu of our own affairs into our own
hands, and not degrade ourselves by submission
to :?n Authority that succeeds to power on the
ground of its hostility to us. and driven by the
fanatical impulse ihat elevated it to office, must
regulate its policy with a view to the destruction
of our cherished rights. Tne speaker
dwelt, nt considerable length nnd eloquently
upon the topicB of wl.ich we have given a most
meagre outline. His sentiments were impies
sed with additional weight from the high character
nnd well known singleness of purpose of
the speaker, lie was frequently interrupted
by rounds of nppluuse, and at the conclusion
<>f his speech was most heartily cheered.

Ikterventiox in Mexico.?The following
paragraph from the New York llcaald is a condeni-e?i
and conclusive statement of the objection*
against the intervention of our Government
in Mexican affairs. The recent treaty of
Mr. McLane is absurd and Myectionable in every
point of view:
The question, therefore, resolves itself into
j the proposition, shall we intervene in tlie doj
mcstic affairs of Mexico. I?y giving lo it* gov
] ernment several millions of dollaio nnJ several
thonennd men, to ennhlo it to put duwn a ralii-llii>u-i
piicetliood an J ariny. This naturally
divides itself in two: Ilavc wc the right to intervene?
If we have Him right, is it right for
u* to intervene? Every lugicnl mind will nay
I we hav$ notthe rijjlit to intervene in the DoJ
inestie affairs of Mexico. To do so, even fop
I the purpose of establishing a pond government
1 would he destructive of iho independence of
thai republic It would cafry with itthe right
of intervention on the part of Englnnd. France
Spain, and every other conntry-that might find
interest in so doing. The true policy of every
Mexican government is to avoid such an utter
destruction of itself and of the nationality of
Mexico, while the oolv one far our government
to pursuo is to prevent all other governments
from such intervention fur their own
^purposes. It can do this only by refraining
! itself from intervention."

tngue, f!ivil Engineer, of New Orleans, has
presented n j>lnn for avoiding, nt a comparaj
lively light cost, all the difficulties to tutvignlion
nt lite mouth of tlie Mississippi river.
The Picayune thus sketches the prospect:
To secure n constant depth of from twenty lo
twenty-t.wo feet, without labor or large expense
to mniutfliii it, has been the studv of the
author of I he. paper ^ulnnitted to lis. This he
thinks, ho has t-eeuVed. II is plnn is to construct
u canal "connecting the river wilh (i
point on the const above the bars. accessible nt
nil times to vt-BMcls of the greatest draught."?
The point chosen for this canal is ''about three
miles below Fort St. I'liillip. a short distance
aboiit tile suit work-t," and itn length would be
about six miles, The Island Le Iireton.a short
| distance olF the coast, f?>i ma lor the Mouth of
j the canal an i'Xr?lk*iil breakwater, and secures*
i the vtfjtla winch lie near it in the occan
j against danger from siornis. The l>ot'om of
j I lie sea Wing a haul clay, forum the best of all
j anchorages. The depth at u distance of two
! thousand feet from the mouth of the proposed
I canal i? never less than twenty feet.
The anal proposed by Mr. Montague is to
1 have a depth of -Jl feel, a bottom br? inllh of UC
j feet, niut a surface breadth of ll)l Icet. It is
to connect with the Mississippi by means of two
docks. distant from each other a space of 400
lect, enabling the alluvion which will lie <le
po?iti?l between ilietn to bp washed back into
the river by the tides. A breakwater is tube
thrown out at nn nettle nt:glo with the shore,
to increase the depth of the *ea at thai tnuiith
of the canal. The cost of the construction ol'
these works is estimated at $1,420,000.
West I'oint Miutary Academy.?The Board
of Visitors, in their report lo the Secretary of

In conclusion, we have lo say, in bearing
i testimony iu i lie vaiiiv 01 ine Ulliiou OiaiCS
j Military Academy at Wwt Point, n? a nntionnl
j institute, that the position of the United
j Unitril States, us a lir^t rate Power, requires
| that she ask notliing liy wny of forbearance
I from other nations. Hence it is that the pcoI
pie of lite United States should always he pre
pared to apply to the active service of the arI
my every discovery and invention in the art
| And science of war. These discoveries and inj
ventions are progressive, and are constantly
I drawn from the experience of the nations.?
I They are collected and taught at this academy,
6? that the graduate goes to his duty ns nil officer
fully instructed in the science and skill of
the latest discoveries in his profession. Touchthe
expenditure l>y the government necessary
to keep up in the most effective ord?-r this
academy, the Board of Visitors take this occasion
to record, individually and collectively,
their well assured opinion, that it is but a drop
in the ocean compared wiih the advantages resulting,
and that have resulted, to the United
