The American Character.?We with pleasure record the fact that at length one English traveller has spoken favorably of the American character. On this subject Mr. Casey says: " Vicing with the Parisian in dress?the Englishman in energy?cautious as a Dutchman?Impulsive as an Irishman?patriotic as Tell?brave as Wallace?cold as Wellington?and royal as Alexander; there lie goes?the American citizen ! In answering your questions, or speaking commonly, his style is that ol the ancient Spartan ; but put him on a stump with an audience of Whigs, Democrats, or barnburners, and he becomes a compound of Tom Cribb and Demosthenes, a fountain of eloquence, passion, sentiment, sarcasm, logic and drollery, altogether different from anything known or imagined in the Old World states. Say anything of anybody (as public men) united with conventional phraseology, he swings his rhetorical macc with a vigorous arm, crushing the antagonistic principle or person into a most villainous compound. See him at dinner, he despatches his mea' with a speed which leads you to suppose him a ruminating animal, yet enjoying his cigarro, fur an hour afterwards, with the gusto and ennui of the Spaniard.

Dick-ills' Household Words. Valuable Recipe.?In close and compactly built cities especially, mora or less annoyance is experienced from the proximity of cesspools, sinks, <fcc.. and in warm weather health often suffers. We have reason to know that a pound of copperas (six cents worth,) dissolved in a bucket of water, and thrown where the effluvia proceeds from, affords an effectual remedy, changing the gases into an imolatile concretion.

By letting my ham remain in pickle, it is kss trouble to keep it than by any other method which I have found, and it keeps sweet and tender all the summer. Take a barrei and turn over an old pau or kettle, and burn cobs (I think best,) or hard wood, for seven or eight days, keeping water on the head to prevent drying. Make a pickle with eight pounds of salt, six ounces of saltpetre, two quarts of molasses, and three gallons of water in one hundred pounds. Boil and skim in barrels, and when the pickle is cold, pour it 011 to the meat, and in four weeks you have excellent ham, very tender and well smoked.?Albany Calticolor. Composition of tiie Moon.?Every object on its ciirfjiee nf the heifrht of one hnnHrerl f^et is ?w? ? ~ ? "" distinctly seen through Lord Rosse's telescope. On its surface are craters of extinct volcanoes, rocks and masses of stone almost innumerable. But there are no signs of habitations such as ours, no vestige of architectural remains, to show that the moon is or ever was inhabited by a race of mortals similar to ourselves. No water is visible, no sea, no river; all seems desolate. The following anecdote Illustrative of railway facility, is very pointed: A traveller inquired of a negro the distance to a certain point: 'T>at 'pends on circumstances," replied the dar key. "Iffyou gwine afoot, it'11 take you a day; if you gwine in the stage or homneybus, you make it half day; but if you git inoueof dese smoke 1 wagon, you bo almost dar now.

' A weak spirit will be crushed by the same ' misfortunes which would reuse a strong one to exertion. The same storm which fixes more firmly the giant oak, roots up the tender sapling. ^ Stroke after stroke fells that i i 'Uuwedgeable and gnarled oak"? - f effort after effort overcomes a gnarled, ungra- * eious fortune. ' c Bonaparte once said: "I have no idea of a i <" merchant's acquiring a fortune as a general wins ' a battle?at n single blow." j * This slap dash way of acquiring a fortune has ! been ruinous to very many young merchants.? | They covet Aladdin's lamp; with one smart rub 1 thov wniilrl ciiminmi the Willi and iibtnin eniint- I less treasures. Disappointed in their sanguine expectations, ] and perhaps utterly ruined and bankrupt, in- i I stead of beginning again in a moderate way, , r with experience for their guide, they have either ; ii entirely forsaken mercantile affairs, or struck an j S other "blow" so violent that the rebound has j crushed them to the earth. ; h To know how to wait is the great means of h success, says a modem French writer; to know ' I how to persevere is the surest means of success j ?? ????? oLinr* onr] (ItiQ int'j ilvoc i u( ir.lit ! f\ Ill iUljr IIUUUI (?nu in 10 Miiuiiva ) uhivnv j ? waiting. a Perseverance is like a taste '"or olives where t they are not indigenous ; it is?not a natural gift t like genius, it is an acquirement.

"Fight them, and the craves flee, thy boldness is their jj panic; . Fear them, and their treacherous heart hath lent their ^ ranks a legion." Stephen Girard,at the age of forty, command ed his own sloop, engaged in the coasting trade ^ between New York, Philadelphia and New Or- j, leans. He had taken many steps on the ladder ( of Fortune since lie was a cabin-boy not worm { a shilling?but think of his perseverance in moon- > 'UAe that ladder, ?tcj> by till he was worth j seven or eight millions of dollars! The following anecdote of an oriental sover- 7 eign is given by Malcolm, in his History of l'or- 0 siaI " There was 110 feature more remarkable in the 0 diameter of Timour, than his expraordinurv per- .. severance. No difficulties ever led him to recede s from what lie had undertaken, and he often per- ] sisted in liis t-fiorts, under circumstances that led 1 all around liiin to despair. He used, on such oc- 1 casiotis, to relate to his friends an anecdote of his early life. t. " 'I once,' said he, 'was forced to take shelter v from my enemies in a ruined building, where I t sat alone many hours. Desiring to divert my ( mind froin my hopeless condition, I fixed my ob- r, servation on an ant that was carrying a grain of _ corn larger than itself up a high wall. I num- a bered the efforts it made to accomplish this ob- r, ject. The grain fell sixty-nine times to the tl ground, but the insect persevered, and the seven- 0 tieth time it reached the top of the wall. This j, sight gave me courage at the moment, and I shall a never forget the lesson it conveyed.'" a This reminds us of Bruce's spider, whose ef- ' forts were nearly a3 numerous bctore tne object fi was accomplished. S It is a common notion among young people, Q that everything must be struck out at a heat; j| that this is the way genius works. Genius is 0 suggestive, but common sen ;c active. "Alas!" said a poor widow, the mother of a 8j briglit but reckless son, "alas! he has not the t, gift of continuance." p This is an attribute of the best order of minds, j, Every school-boy knows "Perseverantia vincitomnia!" at least he has fixed it indelibly upon a the narrcs of his copy book. Despise persever- ? A o t? * . , ancc! As well might one despise the act of p breathing, because it has to be repeated and con- c tinued every moment. 13ut this is an uncon- 0 scious act. True, and so may perseverance be- ^ come, when the habit of accomplishing what is undertaken, is once established. Perseverance 0 is a linked chain which grapples to the goal of n Success with hooks of steel. C( Fkom Australia.? By advices from Sydney ^ to the 14th of August, we learn that the yield 0 of gold still continued to be enormous. In the |, week ending the 7th of August, upwards of one r, hundred and sixty thousand ounces passed p through the treasury, of which about one third t] was the produce of the week, and two-thirds ac cumulations for want of conveyance ou former t| occas:ons. 2 The subject of leases to squatters was attract- 0 ing much attention, and was likely to be the <k source of much trouble and disaffection. The jj Government was preparing to issue the license 7 in accordance with the act 01 rarnameni ana or- c; der in Council. Q A bill had been read a second time in the Lc- fl gislative Council to prevent emigration from Van p Dieman's Land, but it was not supposed the ? Lieutenant Governor would approve it. A rail- g way from Sydney to Goulburn, and even as far p as Melbourne, was talked of. Sydney has already C become a city of great commercial importance. n Upwards of ?700 have been raised in Van Dieniaii's Land towards the expense of. one of tin rivalc expeditions in search of Sir John Frank in now fitting out in England. Several-thousands of miners had reached Ad laide, on their return from the '"diggings," witl ihundanee of gold. From the accounts thei jave of their individual eatings, it was estimate< hat out of every one hundred men, during fou noiilh's work, fifty had obtained ?100, twenty ive h;.d ?200, fifteen had ?250, four had ?-300 liree had ?500, and the remaining three ?l,00( ach. In the markets for provisions, as well a: tlior goods prices were rising. The miners wen iving very freely, and brandy, silks, jewelry, <i*c vere in great request. From the Charleston Courier. rue Hunk of Use Slate of South Car oliaa. By reference to onv telegraphic synopsi.-. c.fth< rocecdings of our Legislature yesterday, it wil ie seen that the report of the President and Di colors of the Bank of the Stale was proot)tec n the House of Representatives by Mr. C. P iullivnn, of Laurens District. As was to have been anticipated front the nl usions in the Governor's Message, the report is ighly satisfactory, and evinces that the Institu ion enjoys a large degree of prosperity. From the 30th of September, 1851, to the lsi f October. 1852, the profits of the Bank have mounted to $309,405.07, being 9 per cent on lie capital, of which there have been applied tc he payment of the interest on the State Bomb ayable in London* $53,020.23, to the interest n the 6 per cents of 1838, $47,094 91, and P 1 ? . il. - C!..l ' r 1 &r?StA non AO ransicrreu in uie ouiKiiig runu v-j, Hiking the total of $309,405.07. The surplus profits of the year ending the 30th f September, 1851, were reserved to aid the Yeasury in meeting the special appropriations ol lie years 1850 and 1851. The sum reauired >r that purpose was $156,193.89, which, the reort states, has been drawn and placed to the red it of the State Treasurer. There remained, licrefore, of the reserved profits of 1851, the um of $41,520.01 which has been transferred .i n? i r . i !. . mm ? . ? 3 ttie oinKing runu 111 auuuiou tome prouus ui be year just terminated. The last instalment of the G per cents issued nder the acts of 1839, to provide for an advance y the State on its subscription to the Louisville, Cincinnati and Charleston Railroad Company, ecame due on the 1st of January hut, and all he certificates presented at the Treasury have icon redeemed and cancelled. A few stockholdrs have not called for called for payment. The entire amount outstanding on the 1st ol )ctober last was ?8,418,42, and by tbe provisos of the act creating the Stock, it was made he duty of the Bank to pay off this debt out ol he surplus revenue of the United States deposit d wtlh this Stat?; which had been placed tern torarily under the control of the Bank. A part of the Stock, viz: the sumof ?41,241.4, h is been heretofore redeemed by the Stat< ut of the current funds of the Treasury. Th< lank has redeemed at different periods the sun: f ?550,001.99, which, with the balance out landing on the 1st of October, makes up lh< um of ?000,000?the entire issue under the act ly the icdoinption of this Stock, therefore, the lank substanti.-.tlv accounts for "The Surnlu - 'I. 1 levcnue." The amount of that fund placed in charge ol he Bank was ?1,051.422,09, which ?200,00C ins paid by the Bank for four instalments on he State subscription to the stock of .lie South Carolina Rail Road Company; ?200,000 paid foi edemption in part of 5 per cent, stock of 182(1 -?300,000?not charged on the Bank, but paid ccording to act of 1843 ; 8550,061.99 paid foi edemption of 0 per cents., 1839; and 88,418.42, ho bah. toe of the G per cents, of 1839, which is utstanding, and to be paid by the Bank, mat lg in the aggregate $958,4S0.4I, whicli leaves balance of *92,941.68 remaining in the Bank, nd for which the Institution is still accountable The Surplus Revenue" Fund, thus withdrawn oni banking operations,, is represented by the itocks held bv the State in the various Rail Road Companies, which have been or are now engaged i constructing roads through the different parts f the State. We further learn from the report that the Proidjiit and Directors of the Bank have continued a direct their attention to the purchase of those ortions of the State debt not yet due, in comliance with the views of the Legislature at difwent times indicated, but have not succeeded tc ny considerable extent. They have, however, urchasod of the debt payable in London, seven onds of ?250 each, and three bonds of ?50C ach, in all ?3,250, at the cost of $15,063.83; c i ? 1 .1.1 L !_ inHA T the 0 per Cents, rcaccmaoie in ioiu, one cerideate fur $2,441; and of the 5 per cents reecmable lu 1858, one certificate for $1,500, all f which certificates and bonds have been sur?ndored to the Comptroller General, and candled. We further perceive by reference to the usual ibular statements accompanying the report, that f the sum of $309,405.07, the profits of the ank, $220,967.04 was the amount of the profits vdized in Charleston, $55,587.15 from the [ranch Bank in Columbia, and 26,850.28 from to 15raneh Dank in Camden. Among the Assetts in Charleston we perceive lie items of Bills and Notes discounted $2,401,07.15, and in suit $05,005.83, making a total f $2,500,932.98 ; Bonds secured by mortgages 809,719.25, of which $298,451.20 were under he Fire Loan Act; and judgments $11,041.22.?

The above are the principal features of the re, port, which our space will not permit us to trans) l'er in cxtcnso to our columns; but the particus lars we have given are sufficient, we consider, to i enable cur readers ro form an opinion as to the . condition of the Bank. Counterfeit.? The Mobile Tribune of the 20th inst. says : "Spurious bills of the bank of Hamburg, S. C., are in circulation here. The engraving, printing and paper are all admirable, - and well calculated to deceive the closest observer. 1 We saw a bill yesterday of the denomination of ? -i50, letter A. No. 533 dated December 10.1851 1 ?J. J. Blarichnrd, cashier, and H. Hutchison, president?which would be received by almost any business man without suspicion. It is indeed - so well executed that the agent for the bank in 4 this city pronounced it genuine. As it is likely a good deal of this money is in circulation among us, we would advise the public to exercise a good i- degree of caution in regard to it. ' The British Fleet at Havana.- Tn the pre| sent somewhat uncertain relations of Culwv to the 1 United States, the presence of a powerful fleet in ' the harbor at Havana is, naturally enough, giving rise to surmise and speculation. We find 1 this fleet, enumerated in a Havana paper, as follows : Frigate Highflier mounting 20 gun9, with , Paixhans. Sloop of-war Dauntters, 22 gons, with Paixhans. Frigate Vestal, (capacity not stated,) Corvette Calypse, 7 guns. Besides these vessels, the line of battle ship Cumberland was ! .v- i. _i - -? .... in iiiu nnruor?rne oniy vessel twiongmg to the 1 regular West India Squadron. The force above mentioned therefore, is something supplementa. ry and extraordinary. . Scoaii Chop.?The St. Francisville Chronicle, speaking of the sugar Crop in that parish says: The sugar planters of our parish have been grinding for about two or three weeks. The , cane crop generally is very inferior, and the yield will be much less than last year. We have not seen a sample of the sugar from the present crop, and cannot, tkeieforc, speak as to the quality.

Executive. This will be the first step towards . .fa i Free Trade. p Timer Cent Pieces.?The Philadelphia Led, ger says of the operations of the mint during the , month: "The manufacture of three cent pieces , has been immense?2,668,800 pieces were coined, .
