Oar New Orleans and Galveston
exchanges speak of the early connection of

tainly cause for gratitude to the Giver of
all good for this result; for at no former
period ot our history, since the organisa-
tion of the government, has a presidential
election involved an issue so momentous in
its consequences. The preservation of the
Union has been the stake. "To be or not
¡e be" was the question, and, fortunately
for the country and far the hopes of free
dom throughout the world, the American
people have rightfully appreciate 1 the
magnitude of the issue, and have deter-
mined to adhere to, and abide by, the con-
stitutional compact of their fathers. The
patriot, whoever he may bo—whether pre-
ferring Mr. Buchanan or Mr. Fillmore for
President—will be gratified to know thai
the Union of our sires is at least safe for
four years to come; that a conservative
aid national man occupies the White
House; and he will fondly indulge the
iiope that a better feeling in that time will
spring up between the two sections than
exists at present. There is time at least
for the " second sober thought" to show
itself, if ever—a breathing spell, as it were,
which we may improve to the general ad-
vantage and perpetuation of the Union and
Constitution of our great and growing
couatrv.
We have received the first number
of the "Nation," a new literary journal re-
cently established in the city of Phila-
delphia by Messrs. Crofut & Bigelow. The
typographical appearance of the "Nation"
is excellent, but not having perused it, we
are unable to pas3 an opinion upon its
matter.
ÁZST A line of steamers will soon com-
mence running from Ilavre, France, to
New Orleans. It is strange that an enter-
prise of this character had not bee entered
into long since. New Orleans is the great
commercial emporium of the South, and
should certainly import directly all the for-
goods ne ded ¡n the section supplied
by her trade. We hopo to see this project
succeed. We have been tributary to the
North so long in there things that our
btethreu in that quarter have come to
think that we are really dependant upon
them, to such a degree that it would be im-
possible to train.; directly with the outer
world. They have grown rich upon our
trade and travel, and we have received in
return nought but insults for it. Let them
see a direct trade springing up between our
ports and Europe, and they will begin to
feel that the South is of some slight value
to them and the Union.
BZ§~ The last arrival from Europe re-
ports a rise in cotton at Liverpool.
Diversified Crops.
A friend writing us from New Orleans,
under date of October 28th, says: "It is
truly astonishing tc see oh the levee the
vast amount of the staif of life for shipment
to Texas This is a ruinous policy for a
farming community Lo pursue, viz : to buy
their bread, meat, groceries and clothing
too. No wonder you hare no money
amongst yqu." We concur with our cor-
respondent in the opinion that this system
or habit of ovtr farmers of buying their sup-
plies of the necessaries of life abroad, is
most ruinous to their prosper ty. Thev
should plant more corn, raise more hogs,
horses and stock generally, and furnish
their negro cabins with the old-fashiomd
spinning wheel. " A penny uaved is a
penny made," says an old adage, and we
believe it. Our forefathers, at least, who
made their own goods at home for ordi-
nary wear, and raised their own "hog and
hominy," certainly managed to get along
better than their fast offspring. The argu-
ment that a negro can make more in the
field than in spinning and weaving, won't
do. There are always odd times and wet
weather sufficient during the year to fur-
nish, at the hands of negro women of the
plantation, a sufficiency of domestics to
clothe the entire force of the farm, and this
too, without interfering at all with the op-
erations of the field. Our people will hav«
to revert to the customs of their fathers.
It may look a little fogyiah, but it will be
to their interest in the I n" run.
Mysterious Death.—On the ni^ht of the
21st nit, Leu-iu B Norwood, of Granville
N. C., who was in good health two hours'
before, was reported by his negroes to have
fallen in the tin; and burnt himself to dearh
The neighbors on examining ttie bodv. found
ieveral blight burn.- , but singular io say
neither his clothes nor head were even
Morched. It is suppssed he wai murdered
New Yo-k, Philadelphia, Boston.
By referring to our telegraphic news in
another column, it will he seen tint the
great cities of New York and Philadelphia
have shown themselves eminently conser-
vative, and true to the compromises and
pledges of the Constitution. The State of
New York, it is true, has given her elec-
toral vote for Fremont; stii! the great city
oí the Western world, located in her limits,
has rendered a full measure of just'ee and
regard to the other sections of the Union
by pronouncing largely in favor of a policy
guaranteeing the rights of all. These facts
should le treasured up by Southerners.
Our merchants, trading in the North, should
recollect these things, and .<lum Boston as
they would " the pestilence which waiketh
in darkness." Our fanners and people at
home, too, should treasure up a remem-
brance of these facts, and in their sm-d!tst
purchases from the retailer have nothing to
do with IJ iston connnoiiU-ies. Let" "oifr
people give their trade to Philadelphia and
New York. Those cities have shown them-
selves our friends, and let the great city of
Boston, who has contemned our rights, look
for patronage to the Black Republicans
they seem to love so much. Bear in mind,
Southern men, these things, and in the pur-
chase of the smallest and most unimportant
article, discri mínate against the nigger-
worshiping city of Boston. This course
will be a most potent argument, and the
only one we can address to them which
will bear good fruit. Its general adoption
in the South will bring the denizens of that
region to their senses faster than all the
speeches made in Congress for the last
twentv years. It ought to be tried.
Nicaragua.
r v
ine recent ¡successes of Gen. Walk# at
M assay a and Granada settles, doubtless! the
quest i m of his supremacy in Nicaragua.
The treacherous natives and their allies
froth the neighboring Central American
States, have again been forced, although
possessing numerically a much superior
force, to succumb to the indomitable en-
ergy and bravery of the North Americans.
Henceforward the rule of the blue-eyed
race will remain undisputed, and Nicara-
gua, blest as she is with a fertility of soil
and salubrity of climate unsurpassed, will
rapidly assume that position, politically
and commercially, among the nations of
the earth, to which, from the lavish en-
dowments of nature and the rule of an en-
ergetic race, she will be entitled.
The effete and corrupt government of
the Hispano-American, who has vainlv
essayed to develop the resources of his
native land, but has ever failed, has given
way to one'established upon a basis which
can but be crowned with the most complete
success. A Tennesseean by birth, and a
true Southerner in all his views, General
Walker is building up, in tropical America,
a government \vho*e general el.apicte^rics,
assimilating to our own, will sarve to assist
in giving permanence to them. Already,
we are informed, a decree has been made
and published guaranteeing the right to
property in slaves in Nicaragua. The
effect of this act will soon be apparent. It
enlists in a moment more generally, if pos-
sible, than exists at present, the hearty
sympathies of the entire South, and secures,
to a certainty, the support necessary to
place upon a perman ent basis the new gov-
j eminent. So soon, too, as the adventurous
j sons of the South have established, beyond
j all question, the permanence of the govern-
j ment, emigration of the most substantial
¡character will commence from all our
! States. Then the virgin soil of Nicaragua
will begin to attract the attention of our
sugar planters and men of wealth, who de-
sire to live in the tropics, but wuder a gov-
ernment similar to that under which they
were reared. When this character of em-
igration commences, and Nicaragua be
O 7 O
comes peopled with a population capable
of drawing from its fertile soil the immense
products it is capable of yielding, who can
calcúlale the greatness to which it will at-
tain, or the effects of Central American de-
! velopment upon the commerce of the
world? The mineral wealth of California
and Australia dwindles into insignificance
when compared with the great advantages
which the world will experience from a de-
velopment of the agricultural resources pjf
this Íp£ttliíÚ!_r*y+ett. ''
A'l honor, then, to the gallant Walker
lor wresting this fair land from the i-:.be-
ciles who have so long possessed it only to
show their total incapacity either to gov-
ern it properly or make it profitable to
themselves and the world. lis has already
won for himself a niche high up in the
temple of fame. Enfranchising, as he has
done, an enslaved people, history will ac-
cord to him an enlarged patriotism, while
the resulting eííects of his rule must add
immeasurably to the productive wealth of
the American continent, and, as a conse-
quence, to the happiness of the human
race.

Y ~e have been gratified to hear that our
friends of the Masonic and Odd Fellows'
Lodges in this place are engaged in the
laudable task of endeavoring to unite our
people in regard to education. The enter-
prise is one certainly wcrthy of the effort,
and it is to be hoped that our entire popu-
lation will second the movement of these
benevolent institutions in a matter in
which all have so deep an interest. Re-
member, fellow citizens, that " in union
there is strength." Concentrate your efforts,
then—unite your energies—and, with the
natural advantages already possessed bv
you, you cannot fail in securing the most
complete success. You can, l>y uniting,
t-uild up an institution of learning which
will reflect hoAor upon the community,
and one at which your sons and daughters
may be prepared for usgf dness in after liie.
Your town will become the seat of learn-
ing and refinement, and will be resorted to
by families living at a distance, for the pur-
pose of availing themselves of the educa
tional advantages you possess. Will you,
then, unite to secure these benefits ? Let
it not be said of us that our prejudices
prevent a unity of action in a matter
fraught with so much good.
A joint committee of the two lodges
meet in this place on Saturday next, for
the purpose of making an effort to carry
out the abo'-e design. They desire the co-
operation of all those not connected with
their Orders, and ask their aid and counsel
in the undertaking. The object sougi.t to
[>e obtained is one calculated to benefit the
whole community, and will not that com-
munity come forward, as one man, and
with one voice say God speed and prosper

Cotton in Alabama.—The Montgomery
Mail, of Tuesday evening last, says:
There is already a fall ng off in the re-
ceipts of cotton here, though we presume
there will stiil be a considerable influx for
a week or two to come. One fact, how-
ever, may be relied on—many planters are
through with their crops already, while the
large majority will be done picking in a
week. The crop is very short, and within
a month the fact will be so demonstrated,
that speculators will be unable to devise
theories to keep cotton down.
Illinois.—This great Sítate Contain
exactly one hundred counties. Fifty
these lyimr south of Springfield, the capital,
contain a population of about 500,000, and
are expected to cast about 95.000 votes, of
which the Democrats claim that they will
have a majority of 25,000 The Republicans
concede them a majority of from IS.000 to
20,000 This portion of the State is called
Egypt from its being settled chiefly from the
slave States, and having consequently a
larger proportion of peop'e who cannot
read or write. The fifty Northern counties
con aiii a population of 800.000.
Our Homes.—Genius hath its triumph.?,

j its bright rjwards, but the heart oniy hath
'its home. Home! What more needeth

true home is more than the world—more
tii^n honor and pride, and fortune—more
than all the earth can give. The liirht of
the i o n <!ay sun may not yield, and yet
the tiny fíame of one pure beam of love
enkindied, and sympathy makes it huru
lorev. r. Home! how more than beautiful
tin u art ! how like an untaught religion—a
godei iinic between the soul and Heaven,
when the p e-ence of a pure heart makes
thee radiant, and th" inusioof its affections
floats like the chorals of unseen cherubins

The Spirit of Prayer.—The spirit of
prayer is habitual sense of dependence up-
on God. followed by a habitual lotiiin^ af-
ter God, and a habitual rising of the tfesVes
of God. Of a person thus exercised, it may
be truthfully said God is in all his thoughts,
lie lives unto God. He dwells under the
shadow of the Almighty. In the hour of
posterity, the heart rises in thankfulness ro
the Giver of ail good; iu the hour of ad-
versity, it bows under the chastening rod ;
iu the hour of perplexity, it is rea<¡y to im-
plore the divine guidance; audit, the hour
of danger and peril, to seek the divine pro-
tection God is in all the thoughts, and iu
the midst of business, which may fot the
time require the undivided attention, the
soul finds intervals to send up its siirnt as-
J. ir ' ¡cms to i<ea rtl in answer.recurven
the assurances of divine favor. While the
mind is thus exercised with this habitual
spirit of prayer, ih«> ilr~t thoughts in the
morning go up to God, and the last thought
at nigUt; and if we take but a momentum
the night watches,'1 our thoughts spontan-
eously rise to heaven. There ii in the
heart that exercise;! a habitual sense that
" thou Godseesr. ute.'' How careful it caus-
es us to be ol our words and ¡.ciious, how
watchful over our thoughts and tempers!
Header, have you ¡his spirit of prayer t Do
you enjoy the coiiciousness of the divine
favor which it is sure to bring? It is iu-
¡itiúely more precious, '• than much line
goid." Does God see that yon desire it
more than you desire gold ? Do you thihk
about it more than you do about gold ?
Do you talk about it more than you talk
about gold ?
Does God see what your affections are on
" things above ? ' Where is your treasures ?
If it is in heaven, there will your heart be
also. If your heart is not there, if youraf-
lections are not there, it is liecause vour
treasure is not there, you are poor iudeed ! •
But how shall we obtain, in larger meas-
ure, this spirit of prayer? By watching
unto prayer. By cultivating this sense of
dependence By imploring the aid of the
Holy Spirit. By " looking unto Jesus."
By resolving in the strength of irrace, tndo
these things, and commencing the work
this moment. Remember, this moment.
Many of our pious resolutions remain a
"dead letter." simply because we do not
enter upon their performance note. " If
we know these things, happy are we if we
do them.''—Western Advocate.
It is a curious fact, says the Courier de
Lyons, that although the butcher's shops at
Geneva arc all open, and an immeuse num-
ber of flies oil the outside walls, not one
comes inside. This is caused by 'he inner
wails being rubbed over with olive, which
is an effective preventive against the intru-
sion of those troublesome insects Th.-
same oil is also u>ed in prevent in flies from
spoiling ¡frgilt frames of looking-glasses,
pictures, &c.
Perfume as Preventives of Mouldiness.—
Mouldiness is occasioned bv the growth of
minute vegetation. Ink, paste, leather
and seeds most frequently suffer bv it. A
clove will preserve ink; any essential oil
answers equally as well. Leather may be
kept free from mould bv the same sub-
stances. Thus, Russian leather, which is
peifumed with the tar of birch, never be-
comes mouldy ; indeed, it prevents it from
occurring in other bodies. A few drops of
any essential oil will keep books entirely
free from it For harness, oil of turpentine
is recommended. Alum and rosiu are used
to preserve book-binders' paste, but ineffec-
tually; oil of turpentine succeeds better;
but, by small quantities of oil of pepper-
mint, anise, or cassia, paste has been pre-
served for several years. Dr. Mucuiloch
recommends the addition to the Hour and
water of some brown sugar and a little cor-
rosive sublimate; the sugar keeping it
dexible when dry, and the sublimate pre-
m
venting it. from fermenting, and from beino-
attacked by insects. A lew drops of any
of the essential oils may be added to the
paste w hen it is made. It dries when ex-
posed to the air, and may be used bv merely
wetting it. Seeds may also be preserved
by the essential oils; and this is of oreat
consequence when they are to be sent to
distance. Of course moisture must be ox
eluded as much as possible, as the oils of
ottos prevent only the bad effects of mou
