wen. I say the msing sun; for the eastern portico alone has, as yet, received the attentions of the renovating brush, while the occidental superfices of the “ venerable pile” retains its countenance of mottled melancholy. This condition of the capitol, and the result of the Presidential election af not ominous, are remarkably coincident; tor the inauguration front of the building hasn’tlooked t for many years, while at the same time bg oy ete e White House a most lugu- spect. The democracy, meanwhile, are not all “‘unternified.”” ‘The thousand dollar clerks seem no more depressed than usual; but the four- teen hundred dollar gentlemen have occastonally to resort to blue pills to regulate their physiological functions. They feel like one whe treads in trans- posed “rights and lefts,” and their sufleriags must be intolerable, since * the boot is oa the other leg.” ;. . There is as much speculation about the policy ot Gen. Taylor as there ever was in public lands or copper stock. We ‘ lookers on here” are the con- duits of many conjectures, and some of us are driven to distressing extremiues to keep up the excitement. It is even asserted that Daniel Webster and Mr., Calhoun are to be members of the reformed eabinet; the former to disburse at the Treasury, the latter to preside over the State rime nt. Pp sy requires little reflection to render either pro- position a self-proved absurdity, Mr. Webster ean certainly expect no such offer from General Taylor. He has not songht to place the President elect under the slightest obligations tohim. He was so non-committal in the Jate canvass, that he prevented rather than promoted the success of the whig nominee, at least so faras he himself was eoncerned. He avoided sustaining that nomination until no alternative was left for him. He avoided public dinners on account of a headache, and gave the slip to our Baltimore tnends, who an- nounced a speech, which the honorable Senator could not utter, in consequence of *indisposition.” {Caused by a northwester.—Ed. Herald] lt w: not until after the Buffalo nomination was made, that Mr. Webster made up his mind what to do and “where to go.” He took his stand at Marsh field on the Taylor platform; but had the hero o Buena Vista been “backed by his friends,” in his ammortai battle, with no more heart than the grea expounder displayed politically in his behalf, our tnumphant candidate would have filled a hospi- table grave. Old Zack harbors, of course, no vindictive memory of the Senator’s remark, that * the nommation of General Taylor was not fit to be made;’ but can any man of common sense be- lieve that the President elect would stultify him- selt with the silly magnanimity of preferring a re- Juctant ally to an ancient friend ? Nor is the proposition in regard to Mr. Calhoun less ridiculous. Why should General Taylor call him to his cabinet?’ Did not Mr. Calhoun turn the cold shoulder to the military chieftain? Itis well remembered here that a distinguished Senator proclaimed that the * masterly inactivity” of the South Carolina leader should not be mi.intained to the detriment of Gen. Cass. He stated that Mr. Calhoun would not throw his influence in favor of Gen. Taylor, and that he would interpose ne obstacle to South Carolina casting her electoral vote for General Cass, which was all, accordingly, demonstrated by the result. South Carolina, i. ¢., Mr. Calhoun, did go for General Cass, and against Gen. Taylor; and unless the ‘ independence” of the new President be tantamount or synoni- mous with “ ingratitude,” Mr. Calhoun will stay just exactly where he 1s. G But away with all these vapid speculations. I have reason to believe that no definitive project has yet been decided on by the chief of the new ad- ministration, in relation to his cabinet. General Taylor, so soon es his late election was rendered certain, paid a visit to his gallant kinsman, the distinguished Senator from Mississippi.§ ‘What topics were discussed during that visit has | notyet been divulged to the world. We are in- duced to believe, however, from the honorable character common to both these gentlemen, that, while the one would not offer, the other would not listen, to any counsel tending to estrange the Pre- sident elect from the party which elected him. ‘The ‘ independent” attitude adhered to by the whig nominee throughout the whole of the late canvass, is by no means incorspatible with a selec- tion of his polittck] eonfidants from among those who risked their political destiny on his success, He must, of course, disdain the annoying impor- tunities and impertinences of mere partizan hacks; but surely there is no lack of the finest matertel for constructing his cabinet amongst the distin- iched whig statesmen who dignify and adorn Hie public councils. It is, then, I think, beyond a doubt that the eabi- net of the whig President, Gen. Taylor, will be formed out of whig statesmen exclusively. Not even his gallant relative, the distinguished Senator rom Missiesipp!, will expectto form a_part of it. He will, of course, enjoy the distinguished con- sideration of the new President, and participate, | to a great degree, in his confidence. i But my limits prohibiting further expatiation, I must say @u revoir. | Wasuineton, Dec. 1, 1848.

Patavevru, Dee. 2, 1848. " Atremendous gale of wind from the southeast has been in progress all the morning, causing quite astiramong the shipping at our wharves, and in the stream. The latter rode out the gale with great difficulty, and some had to slip their cables and go off up the stream under bare poles. The steamboats felt the fury of the blow, and one of our ferry boats had her side cabin tore off by coming in contact with another, in the canal through the jsland. Several small coasting vessels have also been damaged by unavoidable collisions wity others. Most of the telegraph lines were thrown out of order, fora time, by the wind prostrating some. of their posts, but the Western and New York line have again resumed operations. Judge Parsons, this morning, pronounced the sen- tence of the court against John Whitehouse, alias old Duke, and John Thompson, alias Tobacco Jack, convicted of the robbery of Dr. Darlington, the President of the Chester county Bank. Besides the term of two years and eleven months impri- sonment imposed upon each, they are severally ore dered to pay a fine of $10,000. This has been done for the purpose of inducing them to refund the stolen money, the hiding place of which has yet to be discovered. Walliams, who pleaded guilty and restored his share of the plunder, has been sen- tenced to eleven months imprisonment and $100 fine. Atnany, Nov. 28, 1848. Dissensions among the Wargs at the Capital—Col- lier, Weed, Filmore, Seward, §¢.—Proposed New Paper. The interest which for some years past has been excited in this capital, as the focus of State polities, n the wars between the rival houses of the democracy, has very naturally entirely sub- sided at the Kilkenny cat-like fate which the late election has meted out to both belligerents. The torch of intestine dissension, however, has been lighted in another quarter, and the fire promises to rage witheven more fury than that which has de- solated the great democratic party. A bitter per. sonal, and apparently uncompromising, feud has broken out in the whig ranks; and the victors in the late contest seem about to turn the scene of their greatest triumph into a field of battle for themselves. You have, of course, noticed the savage assault of Weed upon the Hon. John A, Collier, and un- derstand, too, that its object is to prevent the choice of that gentleman by the Legislature, the coming winter, as United States Senator, and to secure the success of Weed’s favorite, Governor wi 5 This state of affairs arises out of the following facts. Mr. Fillmore has never been a favorite of the Weed clique, and his nomination to the Vice Presidency, at Philadelphia, first by Mr. Collier, egually objectionable to the Weed dynasty, came like a thunder-clap upon the latter. They dared not at once openly rebel, but bided their time. The Charleston meeting nominated Gen. Taylor and Gen. Butler, and when the telegraph bore the intelligence of this event to this city, then Weed thought he perceived his opportunity. Rallying his followers, they issued a call at once for an indignation meeting ; and Mr. Weed, calling upon Mr. Fillmore, solicited his co-operation in the movement, which was no less than the repudiation of Gen. Taylor, and the nomination of Mr. Clay instead. Mr. Fillmore promptly, and without hesi- tation, refused to countenance the proposition, and even went go far as to denounce it. Wee then determined to secure a nomination of Cla and Seward ; but other counsels, that of Mr. Col- lier particuularly, prevented any action on the subject that evening. The next meeting was on the Monday night succeeding, when the other counsels referred to were entirely successful, and the meeting ratified, instead of repudiating, the nomination of Gen. Taylor. So active was Weed poe to this, in the course he had marked out for himself to pursue, that on the morning of that day he went to Troy, to solicit the whig committee of that city to co-operate with him; a request which they promptly and positively declined. A gentleman in New Jersey, a friend of Gen. Taylor, as well as of Mr. Collier, at once wrote to the latter gentleman, desiring to know the whole facts and circumstances connected with this sin- ular movement. He was replied to by Mr. Col- ier, and the story detriled to kim in shitlitos. as itis given above. This statement the Jersey gen- | tleman forwarded to ** Old Rough and Ready,” at Baton Rouge, and very soon letters were received by Messrs. Fillmore and Collier, from the old hero, thanking them for the stand they had taken, and Peg pe ee upon their success in so doing. ‘The fact that Mr. Collier 1s now a candi- date for U. S. Senator, and the knowledge Weed has acquired of the existence of this correspond- ence, wherein it is made evident that Mr. Collier is in the confidence of the Presidentelect, are what have drawn the fire from Weed’s batteries. The Fillmore men, nothing disconcerted, are preparing to carry on the war with vigor. They have demand- edthe abdication of Weed from the editorial tri- pod of the Journal. This he has refused, and the Fillmore and Collier men are now actively pre- paring for the issue of a new and large daily jour- nal, which 1s to represent the sentiments of that branch of the whig party, and to be, par excellence, ars with them, frank their documents, read ved letters and newspapers, pile up their books, | trunks and papers, with the bed in one corner, the washstand and its implements in another, and a bureau against the back wall opposite to the fire. | The more aristocratic of the members, especially | of the Senate, have two rooms communicating with each other—one for business and the other as a bed chamber; or they have two or more rooms, according to the necessities of a wife and | family. Occasionally they rent a house, and some | of them live here a good part of the year in their own comfortable dwellings—Mr. Benton, Mr. Dix, and Mr. Foote, for examples. The duties of a member of the House are, to | gc! up at mine o’clock in the morning, take a light | reakfast, (they do not often feel ina condition to eat heartly in the morning.) go upto the d | partments to attend to wishes ot constituents, then | to the committee room, at the capitol, for au hour or two, according to the business on hand, thento | the House at twelve, and if the session lasts for two or three hours with « regular debate, or with | some member up under the hour rule, such as feel disposed goover to John Foy’s White House for | a lutle retreshment about one or two o'clock. During the early part of the session the House | should succumb, an event those who | cess. the organ of the Taylor party. You will see the prospectus in a few days, unless, indeed, Weed know him best do not consider very probable. Thus_ the matter stands at present, and all must concede it to be, thus standing, a very nice quarrel. The chances appear to favor Mr. Collier's suc- He is the friend of Mr. Fillmore, who is Comptroller, as well as Vice Presidentelect. The members of the Legislature, as they arrive, must call and congratulate the Vice elect. Common courtesy demands that, at least.— It will mot be long ere they understand that he is Mr. Colliec’s friend, and that both have the confidence of General Taylor; and then, as they hope for favors for their fathers, sons, brothers and friends, they will at once see whom it 1s proper for them to support. Unica, Nov 27, 1848. A New Theatre mm Utica—Applicants for the Post Office. A. B. Sutherland, late of the Bowery theatre, has, within a fe w weeks, accomplished an enter prise in this city which 1s worthy of notice by out adjourns generally at or before three, P.

Not long since Mr. 8. arrived here, and finding no place of amusement except that of a small museum, which was inconvenient and not what the citizens of Utiea desired, he immediately set himself to work with his usual energy and enterprise to establish a neat and gen- teel place of amusement, Gig the same plan by which the Bowery was built up the last time.) By getting subscribers enough to take tickets to the amount of five hundred dollars; and by perse- verance, he obteined the required number in afew deys. An old Baptist church, which had stood vacant for a longtime, was then purchased by Mr. S., who soon hada large number of mechanics to work atit mei and day, when, in the short space of four weeke, they had the stage, box, gallery and pit so near its completion that it was opened onthe Isth inst., and Mr. S8., with his talented company, played ‘ Tortesa,” (written by N. P. iis, to a crowded and fashionable audience. It 1s called the * People’s Theatre,” and is now finished, and will easily hold from 1,500 to 2,000 people with safety, as the boxes are built in the most substantial and workmanlike menner. There is no doubt of Mr. Sutherland’s suevese in his new enterprise, as it is now in the full ude of pros- perity. . There are already a few prominent whigs mak- ing a move to become strong applicants for the office of Postmaster in this city; but doubts are willbe removed by old Zack, as he has held the office for the last twenty-three years, giving en- Ure satisfaction to the citizens ot Utica, and the post office department.

The Population and Wealth of Lousiana.

The census, from which the above table is constructed, contains many facts in relation to the population which we shall bave occasion to use hereafter, when we come ‘to other of our revi Of the productions of the State—there are in Loui- siana 6,663,336 acres of land, of which 1,150,512 are under cultivation. Of the nature of the soll, of the part now waste and fit for cultivation, of the part un- fitted at present for cultivation, but capable of being redeemed and made productive, we shall speak more at large in another article. It is our design in this num- ber only to speak iof results The principal agricul- tural products of the State are cotton, sugar, and molassee, corn and rice. cotton crop of 1847, which was grown in every parish of the State, except Lafourche Interior, Terre- bonne, St. James, St. John, St, Charles, Jefferson, Orleans, St. Bernard, and Plaquemines, amounted to 2 . is year it may be larger; but the culture of cotton will not, we think, be much extended for a number of years tocome, foralthough in the northern and western part of the State new lands will be brought into cultivation, and increased quantities be produced by plantations already opened. yet the low price which the article bears and is likely to bear until the un- known period when peace shall be restored to Europe, and the commerce and manufactures resume their accustomed activity, will prevent any from entering intothe business who are ao situ as to employ with profit elsewhere ; and ofore raised cotton are turning their attention to the cultivation of sugar, which, with but little additional capital and no addi- tional Jabor, affords a better compensation for the time and money expended. The sugar crop, of 1846 amounted to 140,000, and that of 1547 to 240,000 hogeheads, and 400,000 barrels of melarscs. This year it will probably be much larger. The culture of sugar has but begun in this State. A few years ago, the plantations were confined to the banks of the Mississippi and the rich alluvion of the bayovs in the southern part of the State; but in three years the production has been doubled ; it is found that the highlands of the Florida parishes, the alluvions of Red River as far up as the parish of Nat- chitoches, are even better adapted to sugar than the heavy soil of the bottoms, and accordingly the cane has supplanted the cotton in what was considered tha best cotton n of the State, and hae even flourished where cotton had refused to yield any longer a remu- nerating profit. The making of sugar will be the main business of oar plantersin a few years, and the culture will be extended to the adjoining States, or at least to that portion of them which lies south of the parallel of 80 north latitude. The probable extension of the sugar culture, and its evident effect upon the commerce and policy of the country, are of so much interest that they deserve and shall receive a separate article, We find, however, that this article in stretching out furtker than we intended that any number of the series rhould, for as we intend them to be read, we must in the present progressive age make them short, or we shall be disappointed ; we cannot close, how- ever, without adding that among the productions of the State were 8,133,077 bushels of corn and 2,013,023 pounds of Tice.

DANIEL orauaM: Register of the Treasury, Tue Srory or ANNEXATION To THE Unrrep Srares.—Some Miramichi Solon has written a letter to a friend in England, asserting that agreat ehange has come over the spirit of New Branswick, and that that colony is now nearly ripe for annexation to the United States. The writer is said to be an “ intel- ligent and loyal colonist.” He may be both, but our opinion is—he isaleo a great liar. That there are some in New Brunswick, as in Nova Scotia, who think an- nexation tothe United States would be «benefit to these colonies, we know well—but that the people gene- rally, or apy considerable proportion of them, partici- pate in this feeling, we deny. Self. government, con- ceded to these colonies to the fullest extent compati- ble with their dependent condition, the management of their own internal affairs, the control of their own revenues, the ‘king of their own mines, and the payment of their own officers, without the officious meddling and impudent surveillance of colonial office tinkers, and there colonies will prosper,and bean arm of strength tothe mother country in any emergency " to test the loyaity of her North American subjects. If, then, the people are loyal, it is because of an inherent love of British insti- tations, rather than good treatment at the hands of colonial office functionaries. We haveeven now cause for dissatisfaction before us, in unsanctioned acts of our provincial parliament, acts of the greatest import ance to the peace and good government of this people, acts,too, passed by @ large majority of the popular branch, and the abject matter of which is as familiar to every man in Nova Scotia as household names. Such neglect does not tend to make men steadfast in their loyalty; and if, under long continued treatment of this kind, the people, seeing the prosperity of their republican neigh! under self-government and free institutions should sigh for annexation, would it be matter of astonishment ? confees, we might have caute to be proud, were we part and parcel of the American nation; but we look forward to a period not far distant, when our colonial individuality will conse, and we shall be @ part of that great Anglo-American fe to be formed—perhaps its centre—a inder British institutions, to that which from the wisdom and energy of the Puritan fi , who laid its foundation on the rock of Piy- mouth.

The tonto of Calttormiae the Retinitios of which by the United States was so vi y an earnestly opposed by some, and valued by others apparently only as it appeared to present a basis 1s fora dangerous sectional agitation, 1s just now beginning to attract much of the publi tention. The stories that first reached us of the develop- ments of its mmeral wealth berng made under its brief and partial American occupation, have been derided as exaggerated and fabulous; but the later accounts, from official and well authenticated sources, have more than fully confirmed them. _ From these accounts, the tabled El Dorado is as nothing, compared to the gold regions of Alta California, and the Pactolean stream a mere mud puddle, to the Rio Sacramento. The tract knowa asthe ‘gold region” 18 said to extend on both sides of the mountains, known as the Sierra Ne- vada, and to embrace a surface larger than the State of New York! This is all, with the excep- tion of one small tract, on the public lands of the territory, and their value has been estimated at a thousand millions of dollars. Such are the re- ports made to the Warand Navy Departments, by the United States officers. The mines of quick- silver are said almost to rival thoge of gold in richness and extent. i The California Star states the discovery of the ‘old mines te have thus been made :—Some time last spring, in opening a ditch to start a mill which they had built at the bend of the Sacram Messts. Marshal and Bennett found some gold that the current had deposited under it. Im- mediately this begaa to attract the attention of the neighboring people. Further search for the precious metal was made, and with such success that ina few weeks almost the whole Bopalanion turned out to engage in the work “There are about 4,000 whites and a few Indians who have engaged in the Iabor of the mines. The city of San Francisco, which then contained a population of about 2,000 souls, is entirely deserted—only twelve or fifteem persons remaining there. In a part of the mine called the ‘dry excavation,’ no other instrument is needed but knife to dig the gold ‘as in Georgia and North Carolina, the machinery is very simple for col- ting and separating it. The greatest number, how- ever, use nothing but an Indian basket, in which they place the mud, and shake it until the gold settles to the bottom, and the dirt 8 out through the sides in the form of muddy water.” : A letter in our hands, from a prominent source at Washington, contains the following intor- mation:— A communication has been received within a few days from Col. Mason, in relation to the suocess of the ‘old searchers in California, that makes astonishing developments, which would be incredible if not vouched for by him, who visited the gold region incredulous of the reports which he received from it. He thinks the quantity exhaustless, and that the amount which will be gathered there would pay the expenses of the Mexi- can war one hundred times over. ‘The rate of compensation to common laborers is from one to two ounces ay—from $16 to $32. Tho re- gion ismany miles in extent. The beds of tlic streams and gullies arefull of it. He estimates that from th'rty to sixty thousand dollars werth is gathered daily, and success fearfully augments the passions of the people. Allthe necessaries, and many ofthe luxuries, of life, command most exorbitant prices. It is estimated that there are now four thousand engaged in this pareult, and the whole country is flowing in an overwhelming tide to this real El Dorado, “The ships in the harbor of San Francisco are de- serted by their crews, No man’s services can be ob- tained without an enormous price. He says that an officer’s pay and emoluments are not sufficient to prs- cure a servant to attendhim. In his opinion, it would be impossible to prevent the desertion of the troops. His force is greatly reduced by that cause. One of the dragoons obtained a farlough for twenty days. He went to the gold country, and was there only about one week, and returned with $1,500 worth of gold, a sum much larger than he will receive from government if he serves out his enlistment, five years, “The Indians constitute the principal part of the laborers, and their condition is entirely changed. In- stead of being content, as formerly, with only a breech- clout, they seek fine clothes, and pay enormous prices for them, Everything is incredibly high. Fiour is $36 per bbl. Col. M. mentions an instance where box of Seidlitz powders, which cost one shilling, was fold for an ounce and a half of of gold—$24. Col. M. says » The principal stcre at Sutter's Fort, that of Bran- non & Co., has received in payment for goods $36.0 worth of gold, from the lst of May to the 10th of Jaly. Other merchants have also made extensive sales. Large quantities of goods were daily sent forward to the ee as Says the Star: greater part of the farmers and cheros have abandoned their fields to go to the mines. This is not the case, however, with Capt. Sutter, who is carefully gathering his wheat, estimated at 40.000 ‘bushels, Flour is already worth $36 a barrel, and will be $60. Unless large quantities of breaistuffs reach the country, much suffering will ocew: ‘man is now able to pay s large price, it 1a belie merchants will bring from Chili and Oregon a plen- tiful supply for the ensuing winter. “The most mor imate I could obtain from men acquainted subject, was that upwards of 4,000 men were working in the gold district, of whom more than half were Indians. and that from $30,000 to $50,000 worth of gold is daily obtaine any persons, it is said, have collected in one day, in gold of the purest kind, from three to eight hundred dollars each, and tor many days to- ether from seventy-five to one hundred dallave a ay. Solid lumps of pols have been found equal to $4,000 in value. Of course, this 1s not general ; but yet it is said that the mean proportion is so weil determined, that when a man does not collect with facility thirty or forty dollars a day, he moves with his basket to another place. Four thousand persons thus engaged, allowing for loss ot time, and such as are women and children, would at least produce one ounce of gold per day, making an aggregate product of 4,000 ounces, or $64,000 per diera. In view of such a state of things, the California writer may well exclaim, “ As to the future prospects of California, its progress will be so rapid as to astonish the world. Its unrivalled mines of gold, silver, iron, lead and quicksilver, together with its delightful climate and its unex- ampled richness of soil, will make it the garden spot ot creation.” | Such is California ! News rrom Catirornia.—We to-day had the pleasure of a personal interview with Lieut. Loe- fer, just arrived from California, which land of gold he left om the 1st of September. He fully confirms the most glowing accounts heretofore received in the States, of the richness and extent of the gold region. He rays the whole truth cannot be told, with any pros- pect of being believed. That the gold is fouad from the tops of the highest mountains to the bottom of the rivers, Files of the Californian, brought by him, con- firm it all. We have not time, at this hour, to extract from them, but may do so to-morrow, Flour was selling at the mines at $65 per barrel spades at $14 a piece, pork $2 per lb. Lieut. L. showed us specimens of the gold; it is found pure or mixed. from the size of wheat to that of the fist. All other business is neglected—wheat left stending in the field, hous and farms are deserted, re; Lieutenant L. has seen the mines and knows whi he says to be the fact. He came by the way of Panam and Jamaica. We learn from the Californian, of the 14th August, that the sickly season had set in at the gold region, and the treasure hunters were leaving. Accounts from Oregon say that the army had been inoreased 300 men. and that the Indians were drive tothe mountains They were willing to make pi but the whites would not agree unless the murderers of Dr. Whiteman and family were delivered up, which was refused on the ground that several Indians wert siready killed, which was suffictent satisfaction, Ge tion declaring that the troops would be concentrated at the gold region to prevent persons from seeking for the precious metal, unless those leaving San Francisco and other ports from that vicinity should make provision for th ort of their families during their absence, an ja hould unite in preventing the desertion of such soldiers as intended running off to the mines. — N. 0. Mercury, Nov. 23 Dastruction or THE OLp Pear Trex at East- WAM.—We are sorry to be obliged to record the destruction cf that veneraole relic of the Pilgrims, the old pear tree at Eastham, planted by Governor Prince, of Flymouth colony, more than twocenturies ago. The Yarmouth Register informs us that the tree was blown down during the late gale, This interesting memorial of the Pilgrim band stood, we believe, upon the farm of Mr. Freeman, in Eastham, once the dwelling place of Governor Prince, by whose hands the tree is said to have been planted. About the yea- 1643, the Ply- mouth Comp.ny, discovering that they had settled ‘upon a very barren soil, began to look about for a bet- ter place, and, after various explorations, they pitched upon Nauset (now Eastham), and having purchased the land of the Indians, they agreed all to go there to- gether, it being considered undesirable to sep nd weaken the company, A portion of the comp of whom Mr. Prine ‘wards Governor, was oae—went and commenced a settlement at Nauset, Mr. Prine occupying the spot now included in Mr. Freeman's farm, where he planted this pear tree. Before the whole company, however, had made arrangements to remove to Nauset, the project was abandoned, and it ‘was concluded to continue at Plymouth. Mr.’ Prince and his | ai remained at Nauset, where some of the d had been cleared and long improved by the In. dians. was chosen Gover Mr. Prince, even after hi nor, continued to reside at Nauset. We had an op- portunity, in the summer of 1847, of paying our re- spects to the Prince pear tree, It was then yielding fruit to the seventh or eighth generation. At the time, we copied, trom some source not now recollected, the following lines, which purported to be addressed to the old pear tree by a descendant of one of Gover. nor Prince’s companions in the settlement: — “Old Timo has thinned thy boughs, old Pligrim t 1d bow'd hee with tee weesht otmans veaseee Yet, ‘mid the frosta of age, thy bloom we sce, And jearly still thy mellow fruit appears. Venerable emblem of our aires of yore! . Line them, thow haat performed file's labors well; And when, like them, are past and 0 ‘These lines may help thy loagtnored venee tall.” Frencu Consvis.—The President of the United States has officially recognized Georges Gerard as Consular Agent of the French Republic, for the of Portland, Maine; and alas Edward Sebastien Ienard as Consular Agent of the French Republic, tor the pert o! Bostou, Miss. An Hour wrrn ta Ononpagas --—In company. with others, we left this city on Sunday mernii to attend divine worship with the Onondagas, in the! new church on the reservation, seven miles south of this city. Services had already commenced when we arrived. About one hundred and fifty ofthe natives were present, the greater portion of whom were juaws. The appearance of the latter attracted atten- tion and admiration, from the neatness and uniformi- ty oftheir dress, Each one was shrouded in an Indian Hanket of snowy whiteness, which covered them com- jetely. The men were well and neny apeeleace The services were all conducted in the Indian tongue. Mr. Fancher, the missionary, read the hymns and pas- rages of scripture, the same being immodiately inter- preted by one of the Indians. Several of the Indians exhorted and prayed in their native tongue, and were listened to with manifest interest and approval by their brethren, At times the feeling manifested was tand enthusiastic, After the con- ces, Mr. Meriam, of New York, aud Mr. Cooper, of this city, accepted invitations to ad- dress the meeting. Their remarks, which brief, were interpreted, and were well received by the In- a n that the attendance at ing rapidiy.— missionary, divides his vfficient ia- Oneidas and this tribe, preaching to each every other week. In addition to the chureh, the Indians have the advantages of a well taught school Their school house is quite as comfortable as thi dinasily found in the country. The number atten ing school, we were informed by the teacher, Mr. In- galls, is between 30 and 40. The main obstacle ia the way of success, is the want of discipline among the ebildren, and the difficulty of enforcing it.— Persuasion and kindness have been the only success, There is a dis- means adopted with trust and shyness on the part of both p; a children, which kindness and indulgence can aione overcome. No charge is made for tuition, and each pupil is supplied with all necessary books gratui- tously, The ordinary common school branches are taught at the schools, Several of the pupils have ma- nifested quite a taste for drawing, and succeed very well, For figures they seem to have no natural affiai- ty. Knitting and sewing have been introduced into school with the best results, To those who do not know to what depth of degradation the remnant [n- dian tribes of this State have been reduced, through the cruelty and rascality of the whites, and Uheir own ignorance and improvidence, it may seem strange that it were necessary for their improvement to commence with the very rudiments of civilization. Such, how- ever, is the fact; and it is only by keeping the fact in mind that we can form a correct estimate of the pro- grees which the Onondagas have made within the last six years, through the efforts of missionaries and bene- volent individuals of this city, As yet the work has just begun. The current is at last in the right direc- tion, and the happiest results are in promise. There are many obstacles yet in the way, which must be re- moved; many difficulties to overcome. It is too much to throw the whole labor of this upon the missionary and the teacher. Both should receive the active sy: pathy of the peopie in all parts of the county. Th do not ask for themselves, but simply the means of making those under their charge happy, by improvin, their condition. Clothing is much needed. Provisio: will no doubt be very acceptable during the winter. In addition to these, a concert of action in regard to efforts designed to improve the condition of the natives, is highly devirable. Liquor selling to the Indians isa shamefal practice, and the law agaiast i enforced rigidly, to the letter. This cause h done more to degrade and debase them than all others combined.—Syracuse Star, Nov 28 Mexican Tanirr.~The late effort in the Mexi- can Congress to remodel their tariff in a way to improve the commerce of the country, failed in the Senate. There is hope, however, that the Mexicans have become suflicientiy enlightened as finally to adopt a whelecome policy. Naval Intelligence. ‘The U.S sloop of war St. Mary, Capt.

In the Franklin Planter’s Banner, of the 16th inst., we find the following :—The cane which was killed by the late frost, has changed from a bright green to a sickly yellow color, and many of the planters of this parich ‘and St. Martin, finding that the present warm weather is causing it to sprout, have commenced wind- rowing. It is best, we believe, to windrow as soon as the bud is killed, Many new sugar plantations have been opened of late in the parizh of St. Martin; but we do not think the crop of both parishes will be any thing like the crop of St. Mary last year. ‘The following is from the Baton Rouge Gazette, of the 18th:—The weather, up to this time, has been very favorable to sugar making, and the planters have iu- proved the opportunity. Since the white frosts, about ten days ago, the cane yields better, and the general quality of the sugar is superior to that of last year.— We have reen specimens from several planters in this hood, and they are all, in grain and sweet Married In Hampton, Va.,on Wednesday, the 22d Novem: ber, by the Rev.
