Ho wua just nbont to assassinate English in reply, whon a benevolent individual, who aat next to him. explained, as well as he could, tho true nature of the cuso. This only had tho ellect of changing the current ot hia rage, and hechajed up nnd down tho lloor, show-1 ering invectives upon iho devoted head nf tho agent I who had given him the ticket iho night before.

How tho French court comforts itself when it is out in tho wood for a day's pleasure, is amusingly shown by a correspondent of the Observer, in tho passage noucxeu: "We stationed ourselves against the trues by tho side of (he narrow forest road, and had a most admirable view of tho Emperor and Bmproa. Ho was, as he is over represented, calm and cold, withinexpressive-feature and unimposing address, giving no outward indication of what he proves himself to bo, the master spirit of trance at this timo. ishe waa all grao, and smiles, and beauty, nuchas Burke fancied iu Marie Antoinette when dunpninoss uf France. Tho pictures ol her, evon the best, all represent her with an anx ious truwn; out 1 bow it not yesterday, as sne bowed to the people assombled to welcome her in the depih of the forest. When tho imperial couplo and all the suite hud alighted marshals, ministers of atato princes, senators, and ladies of rank, among whom wua nlso the Queon of Spain, now on a visit to the Emperor, we had a still better opportunity to survey Iho group, ns the promenaded boforo the houso within fifty feet uf us. The ladies wero all dressed with great elegance, yot simply, in muslins without orna ments, and the gentlemen were in frock cents, and without marks of rank. Indeed, no one would have supposed they were other than ordinary men, either in dignity, dress, physiognomy or manner. Tlio Em peror is a small man in stature, and wore a blue frock coat and grey jmuIb, without onv decoration, except the ribbon in bus button hole, which all distinguished rrencn gentlemen, and oven many undistinguished. constantly woar. Ho walked about and surveyed the iioraes ns it no ttnew more atmuttitem thon tho politics oi iwopo. ue warned in o nuii-shnttnug, hall mincing gait, lika a decayed rone. Ho atoaped considerably, and looked upon the ground with the air of a stu dent rather than a military man. Indeed, ho looked liko a dissipated, contemplative, aolhsti. acorn hi! man whose lifu alternated between intellectual labor and sensual pleasure. There wua no'hing imposing, im pressivo or dignified iu his manner. He woro a rmir oi wnuoKiu ginvos, and swung a walking attck like one wno prouionnuoa u roadway on a hot day, His numerous attendants seemed to bo unite at theii easo iu his preaenco, nnd swaggered about him with their hats on, liko a company of English aristocrats on tho race-ground ; but ho had but littlo to say to any of them After tho ladie had taken on their li-jht boimots, which now hung back of the heud.eximsine tho facovory boldly, according to my ideas, thoy joined tho gentlemen on the grass-plot before Iho house Then ihey wont into dinner, ami tho dinins room oc cupied three-four Ilia of tho whole house. A band of musicians woro stationed under tho window and played durinc the dinner, and nlaved moat boauiifullv and noisolessly, but softly. As tho doura nnd windows were upen, wo could see tho tablus nnd the poople at dinner. Thoaervants, who waited at the table, were iu simple (duck, with whito cravats, liko English cler gymen, who, in aspect as woll ns dress, thoy strikingly reaumoieu. ino servant wno woro tn livery were footmen, aud of nil inferior gn-de. Tho dinner occupied about an hour, and brought into requisition an infinite number of plates, which wero of Sevres china. Tho forks aud spoons wero silver gilt. The dishes were both porcelain and silver. They did not drink much wine, or eat much of tho dessert, which was nearly all sent out ns it was brought in. I observed that melons woro eaton immediately after the fidi. When oil had dined, as nt our ordinary tablet h'hote. they came out in front of the house nirain Indies nnd gentlemen. The gentlemen did not remain to sip wine, as in England, aft or ihe ladies had retired. Coti'en wns then handed around in tho open air, which all took standing. Most of Iho gentlemen smoked cigarettes. I observed that the Empress herself smoked ono wilh the air of n lady accustomed to that soothing pleasure. They all smoked incessantly. They then played at football before tho home, uud between m snectators. The Indies entered into the omnaemeiit with great nr-dour, and tho Empress tore her dress na it becamo entangled in her satin boot. Those who were not expert nt kicking struck tho ball with their flats, and none allowed so much skill na the Emperor. They laughed, and talked, and ronvied, with the cigarette iu their mouths, iu a queer way, which would have equally scandalized Queen Victoria or tho nrira maiden uf a V I . -II .ii-w uiif-iniiu Yiungu. Thero was nothing but fun and frolic, nnd a most marked equality in the enjoyment. When they were wearied, or rather whon the servant had had t;mo lo remove tho tables and sweep iho H mr, which bad no carpet, thoy re-entered ihe dining room, the Emperor leuomg tno way. men too ninoB overa dances ipiadrillos, waltzes, etc.. and (he neoolo drew still nearer the house, almost under tho windows. We saw all the movements perfectly. The ladies snid mat iti bmperor danced tho best, and Ihe Km p res a the next beat. There was Brent animation, nuite dif ferent, I am told, from an English ball-room, where they dnnco an coldly nnd htclesly as Iho ladle of ueocon street are accustomed to how to their acquain tances. English dignity would introduce formality nnd stupidity oven iuto tho dance. But the French havo less disdain ol natural expressions of pleasure, and if more artificial in ordinary life, are at least more graceful and pleasing when ihey meet together. Think ol nn English monarch or nobleman dining in a frock ctmt, or dancing with a cigarette iu his immth, or at leuM, suspending iho act ol amoking only in tho dance itself. Now, all llioso thing I saw with mv own eyes, and I write without any exaggeration, nnd have omitted many other things which I might have men tioned, among which is the selection or a uniform for Ihe huntsmen of tho forest by Hm Km nor or. t was amusing to see a poor fellow brought up and trembling with embarrassment before royalty, and examined from head to foot by imperial eves, while the tailor stooil hy to tako directions, and while tho grant olli-cere id atato passed their judgment on tho contemplated change." RAILROAD TO LAKE SUPERIOR. The subject nf a Ihilroidto Lake Superior, wo seo ia earnestly bing canvnased, Tho proposed route to which we allndo is for tho extension of Iho Canada road (which h i already been finished to bake Huron.) Thence nlong the coast to this place. Thence in n direct line to Marquette, at which place diverging from, a straight lin by following llm lake shore for a few miles, from which point iu a direct line again to Ontonagon and oven to Komi du Lac. It is very certain that such a routo, if practicable, will bo nn air lino from the hear! of Lake Superior to the Admtio coast, and we would advise our Canada friouda to look iuto iho matter nnd causa nn examinn tion and survey of the route In bo mndo without delay. Such a route would he of mutual interest to the two Government and more strongly bind the friendly feeling which is daily nnd mutually iucrea- ing between them. It would also open a communication with this region at all sensons of tho yonr, which must Inevila hly bn dmio annner or lotor, either by wny nf Canada or upon our own aide.

If any body wore to aver lhat there wero no anxiety about the distribution of offices in the cily of , State of Ohio, after Goneral Pierce was inaugurated, It would not be strictly true. There teat ntixietv : induced, no doubt, by the desire to seo Ihe places filled by fit and proper men nnd there was also a good deal of disinterested patriotism evinced, by a re:diri"s to take oflice on tho shortest notice, and at a self sacrifice After Ihe community had been agitated to tho last degree by conflicting reports, almost hourly, as to who wag appointed post-master, that vexing question was sot at rest by the arrival of tho commission. But it was settled only to admit tho discusdon of another of tremendous import who should bo tho mail-agent? Placod by circumstnncoa in the sitiiHtion of a disinterested looker-on, I hope to bo nble to relate some few incidents which occurred in that memorable struggle for those honornblo olli cob; and if this narrative pos-aessoa not tho interest of a fictitioui atory, let it be re-membered that it is but a dry detail 'if facta. It wa iu front of a celebrated and justly popular hotel in tho cily, that two gentlemen, bent upon serving the country at all hazards, met a few day after the post-master had received hia commission. Ono of them wa ft red-faced, rollicking, impudent-looking nn oi perauu, huh in uie twenties, iiumgu apparently over thirty.

Ho appeared to bo in aenrch of anmothing and unable to find it, like old John Willet, when looking for n coffin. Walking slowly around the room, ho glanced at tho pictures and hand-bills, us if ho ihuught ho might perhapa find it there; but being unsuccessful, ho cloaoly examined tho map of Ohio, and subjected that of North America to a sovero scVuliny. i con t hud it, snid Ooern-' What are you afior?

With ihis, Mr. Doom returned to the saloon, whore he waa advised by Charley to go lo the library and examine the maps, charts, atlases, etc. Ho did so ; and after toiling about an hour unsuccessfully, he consul ted tho librarian, who speedly lound iho place in McCul loch's Dictionary. Seating himself at a table. Mr.1 Doem devoted all his attention to the perusal of the description nf Ciitugutulang. Having concluded reading, he closed tho book with an oath ao round and ex-1 presaivo that a venerable reverend gonlleman and two stout young fellows, studying for .the ministry,: who wero rending in the library, started to their feet., You infernal old cuss!' aaid Doom, looking the venerable old preacher of the gospel full in the fare. ; Concluding tint Doom wns a mud-man, t tin two stout young lellowa who were atudy ing f.r the minis-1 try made a precipitate retreat behind tho venerable old gentleman's chair, nnd, thrusting their head nut of tho window, shouted murder.

Beginning nt the last paragraph of the description ol Cutugutulang, the old gentleman rend a follows: ' I ho port waa onco a place of some trado; but it ha latterly gone to decoy.

'Thank you, Sir; much obliged,' said Doom, shaking his fist toward the old gentleman, but with Simeon in tiis mind. C1IAFTCA SECOND. About four o'clock on thoaftemnon of Ihe following day, Mr. Sugg took hi way toward the reaidence of Colonel Fuiichal. Simeon had been hard at work all day, getting up paper tn be forwarded lo Washington for Iho mail nuoncy on tfie northern rnuto.

' Tho old member of the par y nre not tn he paaaed over in any such way, said he, turning a corner; anil there ho mine suddenly upon Doom.

Again Simeon looked at tho valise, and nnin lie glanced nt the 0d mud's house. You wouldn't like to lend mo twenty dollar, per haps,' said Doem. Simoon gronued audibly, and looked round in sore distress. Nevermind!' snid Doem, briskly; 'I'll rail upon tho old Colonel ; he'll hu d it me; ho never refu ts uny body any thing.'

Foreign Carrttpondenee nftht Ohio State Juurnat, THE CRISIS REACHED AT LAST-NEW ASPECT OF THE KOZSTA CASE. Pahis, October 13, 1853 The lung looked for, the long talked of crisis, which ha been Healing liko a mirage before theeyes of stock peculators and politician generally for ao long a time, seoms at last about to resolve itself into some thing tangible. "Never," as I heatd bu American orator say, not many months ago, "from the day of Noah down to Martin Van Duron," boa thero been ao many nps-atid downs, ao many nervous systems strung and unstrung, as in this unforlunuto uuestum of Iho Orient. The Great Northern Bear has a tremendous score to soillo idl' with iho rest uf Europe, for the fright in which ho hu kept everybody for iho Inst five months. The latest reliable news arrived in Pari l his morning, by telegraph from Trieste, is to tho following effect : "Tho declaration of war by Turkoy is approved by on imperial circular. A new levy ol 1."j0,000 men i ordered by the Sultan. (This will augment the Turkish force to 430 001) men.) Tho Russian tunc-.binaries remaining in Turkey are preparing to leavo. The declaration of war orders lht.t iho navigation of tho Danube and the Black Sou roinajoj opQt to neutral vessels." " So Turkey has decided positively for war, nnd with that decision come tho cortuin downfall of Constan tinople. Tho Sultan la entitled to the pruiae nf tho on- tire world for the forbearance which bo bus shown in tho cause of peoee, for the honor wilh which liohusocted hroiighuui, and for tho firm determination to which ho h is at last come, to stand by hia country' indepen dence, if he fulls. Turkoy, which ha ao long been tho problem of Europe, which haa for ao long u timo been the subject of tho sympathies as well aa the long ing of surrounding nations, is about to enter go from hordoubilul pontmn, nnd once trior o tho map of Eu rope is to receive new lines. Although England ami France are rousing up, and will offer material assist' onco to tho Turks, thoro aeeins to be a geticr.il opinion in Paris, among disinterested persona, that all tlio as- Nistuijce which they will bo able to send, will not keep the (Joasarks out uf Constantinople. After the Sultan hud afgnod the declaration of war, me representative ol the various rower mndo hi in a visit, when he charged them aovorally to mike known to their anveroigna tho ontiment of graiitudo which animated him for the efforts which Ihey hud made to terminate amicably this deplorable difficulty ; aud he then added, "Our ancestors took Constantinople sword in hand, and if destiny wiljs that she puss under another master, it shall not bo but with aword in hand that we shall quit thil country, abode of our religion and of the ashes of our ancestors; we shall vunquith or dio as soldiers for our country! " From tho day that the Sultan signed tho declaration of war, a now era hns dawned upon Europe ; f ir unless Russia make some concession, a thing which nil bur antecedents contradict, and which no one believe f r a moment alio will do, an era of war nnd bloodshed will havo been inaugurated, in which factions of all kiuda will bo ong aged, which will rnge perhaps for yonr, and terminate in tho crumbling nnd ro-diviaion of empires, ami in poverty and bankruptcy. One cannot help here recurring to the rem arkabln pro- diciiona made by Napoleon, during his captivity nt St. Helena, nn this subject. They ore so apposite to this eastern question, that I will quote ono or two of thorn. Tlio conversations took place in May, 1817, thirty-six years ago, with Mr. Barry O'Menro, and are published by that gentlemon in a work giving tho history of the captivity of iho Emperor. On the 2id of May, says Mr. O'Meara, alter leaving tho bath. Napoleon spoke about Russia, and said that the European nations would yet find that he (Napoleon) had adopted the best possible policy, at the timo he intended to re os-tablitb the kingdom of Poland. This, lie observed, would be the only effectual means of stopping tho in creasing power of Russia. It was puitjug a barrier, a dyke, to lhat formidable empire, which it was likely would yet overwhelm Europe. "I do not think," he added, "that I aball livo to see it, hut ymi may. You are iu the (lower of your ng, and may expect to live thirty Jive yean longer. I think that you will aeo that iho Russians wdl oitacr invade or take India, and enter Europe with four hundred thousand Cossacks mid I other inhabitant of tho desorl, and two hundred thousand Russians. When Paul (of Russia) was an violent against yon (iho Englih) ho aont to mo for a plan to invade India, sent htm one, with instructions in J detMil." j On tho 27ih nf the satno mouth, Napoleon ngniu returned to the same subject, and made use of the singular and most impressive statements which follow. I hey appear to approach a near to Ihe truth anil warning prophecy, as any political speculation which has ever been made: " In Iho course nf o few year," snid Napoleon, " Russia will hove Constantinople, tho greatest part of Turkoy, and all Greece. Tin I hold to bo n certain ns if it bad already taken placo. Almost all ihe cajoling and ll ittery which Alexander, of Russia, practiced towards nm was to gain my cement to effect that ob ject. I would not eonttnttoretceing that the equilibrium of Europe would be dettroyed. In tho natural course of thinga In a few yenra Turkey must fall to Russia. The grootest part ot her populoiion aro Greeks, who, you may say, are Russians. Thepoicert it would injure, and who could appotcit, are Engltnd, France, Prussia and AnUria. Now, at to Autlria. it will he very easy fnr Rut- tin to engage her attittance, by giving her Servia and other prorincet bordering on the Aut'rian dominhnt, reaching near ta Conttantinoplf. The only hypothctit on which I-y-anee and Engltnd may ever be allied with tincerity, will be in order to prevent thit. Were there over prediction so remarkable! Rut even thia alliance would not avail. France, England and Prussia united cannot prevent thi. Russia nnd Austria can nt any time effect it. Once mistreiofConslantinoplo, Russia gofs all the commeroe nf tho Mediterranean, becomes a great naval power, and God only know what will follow."

England nnd France me united nil ltd question, and it ia the only question upon whh h they could bo united. From hia grave ihe elder Napoleon Ins dictated what ought lo bo iho policy of Frnnco nnd nf Europe on tin subject, nod his counsel has been adopted; hut little did he think that bin words were intended font member of hi own family. It is possible. however, that if he could have foreseen that tho alii mice with England, nf which ho apeak, would have been made iu Iho person of a Bonaparte, ho would havo been more aminine uf iis success in the defense uf Constantinople. Tlio Martin K zslo caao has nisumed an entirely new aspect. Mr. Brnwn, ih Secretary nf Legation nt Cm.at.inlinnple, ha attcceeded, by several weeks id uninteriupti d negotiations, jn m uring the liberation if tlio exde. Austria found that by a local law oxist-ng in Turkey, hbe cnuld not reclaim Kosta, nnd feel ing unwilling in complicate bar affairs more than they are at prcneui, on account id' herdelica'o position on tlm Turkish qiiesii'iti, she resolved, with a show of Uoi treat tid the matter ns ono nf importance, to givo hoi consent to his teUase.

A night in the Stage Young Virginiant and their Talk Wettern and Eattern Virginia Peculiaritiet of Vir ginia Training Slavery again Progrttt of Sentiment! Another Companion Hit VieietBa$il Hall reatnerttonhaugtiVr, 1 roost and UaluttnaketQtn. Jackton, Sulphur Sprinob, Sept. 1853. Inside of a stage coach, and the night very wet ix passenger to be jolted into one another three amoking and threo being smoked curtains down, and spirits too not much chance to sleep, ond rather les to bo nwako combined to mnko ua feel, on our rond from Newborn to Abingdon, lhat, wo must nil do ome-tiling uncommon for each other's happiness. The only resort wna to out clatler the falling rain nnd out-vanor the smoker. A dismal time it would have been but for talking: all were young hand, but they turned over some virgin aods, that had tho fragrance of fresh Spring. Tho most of the party wero voting Virginian. and, tor their age, were fine conveners. J could but notice here, a I have frequently observed thi Summer, tho spirit of animated pruLTess that makes the growing mind of Virginia, and tho strong disposition it now shuws to trust its own energies and win sac-cess by manly effort. Family reliances and hereditary aids are fast giving wny, nnd men are realizing that (iiey navo n numo to make nnd a tortune to win by virtue of their own brains and muscles. " Aro manv of your young men," inquired I, "dovuting themselves to teaching? " "Yos, sir, a largo number of them : thfiso stud -ml who aro educated by the State are required to practice teaching for two years, aud other select it as a profession for lifo " I learned, also, lhat many woro engaging in civil engineering. The most of the " squadt" on the roads were native Southerners, and their intelligent skill was highly commended. They wore penetrating oilier Slates, and fust rising to distinction. An is usual in Virginia, they were full of social reminiscences narrating scenes describod by their grand fat hers tracing out family connections stumbling on cousins in cverydirection.aud olivowith all tho other social sympathies that distinguish Virginians. One told of his grandfather, who had voted for overy President of the United States a wonderful in-stunco of consistency iu politic as well as of prolonged patriotism. Another seemed to bo a hisinricul library of 'he country. "A groat many incident in the life of Wnshingfnn," aaid he, "not in the books, I huvo had from my grandfather, and he haa talked them alt over and over to me." A capital plan, thought 1, to make heroes nnd alateamen; and who can tell but this domestic interest iu tho past of our nation, may bo tho secret of that marked national chnracter which Virginia exemplifies so much more than any other Stato ! Tho fact is, that in the Old Dominion, family pride and national glory, iu some form or other, aro buuud up inseparably, and a true Virginian is the ponrest of man if he cannot full back on immortalized greatness. Well, I like it. Men cannot do without antiquity, nnd I prefer that which never tirea to go further back than the Revolution or Pocahontas, This ia a convenient reference; office of heraldry aro unnecessary ; thingsare tongiblo, and you can aland on the ancestral gravea nnd vindicate your coat of arm. Our companions wore well informed in business matters living newspapers in current items clever editoriul thrown in; and they read off admirably. "How about lavery in western Virginia," asked I. "It approximates moro and more to tho sentiment of eastern Virginia. Indeed it is one Virginia now. It is more of a domestic institution hero among tho mountains and valleys smaller numbers and more freedom of intercourse. You would laugh to witness their weddiiipa ihoy are married in the parlor, and tho best silver st rvico is spread on ihe table fur them. Coffee is a grand aristocrat then- How ho looks dowu on 'poor white folks!' Tho truth is, that Ihe dignity of tho b.iuae belongs to Coffee, and you can't wean them from their masters." Subsequently 1 bad an opportunity of verifying these remark by an ex te tided conversation with an intelligent and wealthy gemlemnn of distinct! u. "It is alt a mistako," aaid be, "to think that western Virginia ia nrrayed against easiern Virginia on ihis subject." Ho gavo mo various focta in confirmation of hi statement, and fully satisfied my mind that it will be a long time before any portion of tho State will hazard (he agitation of this topic. "It was forcibly demonstrated hero not long since." snid he, "in a memorable incident. A man ol property had been ascertained to be implicated in a sort uf abolition movement, that two meddlesome men from Ohio had tar tod. A disguised party took him from hi house and offered him personal indignity. There wasacivil ell art made to tmnith theso offender, but public aon-timent frowued it down. The sheriff refused to aerve tho writ tho clerk of the court would have nothing to do with it the other civil nflicer followed in tho wake and finally it wa utterly abanduned. A largo number of tliesa paraona.exritod nearly to desperation. owned uo slaves; hut enough there had beeu unwarrantable interference blood bad been shed by the no groea through Abolition fanaticism and every one rallied lo tho rescue. Nothing," continued be, "can prevent iho consummation of that work, which slavery ' is destined to accomplish. Civilization by tubjugation is the uniform law. All tribe of people have risen in-this way. Cent uric a may be necessary, but the negro rnco will never ho elevated but by submission to iho while. Fur n long ti no from 1820 to 18501 wo uneasy lest the cuantry should precipitate ihis issue; out tno danger la past, ami iho relations oi white and negro were never securer than now." I cannot present his views exactly, nor can I altogether end or so them, but ihey are worthy of an impar tinl Rppreciiiti'in, from the fact that they indicate the drift ot tho most cultivated and reflecting minds on this subject. Ono point in his conversation particularly iuterestod me that referring to the knowledge which the negroes had acquired ot the Abolition movement, and it failure to produce any considerable impression on them. He had taken pain to examine into this matter, mid he did not conceive that a spirit of disftaiial'ucii ti had been excited. There ran bono doubt that tlio negroes themselves, an far as ihey have any information, are growing more nod more suspicion of the Abolitionists, nnd that the contest between north and south has tended to bind them closer to their muster.Along our routo we had a constant survey of undulating land th nyo glancing every moment over rounded knolls and winding vales; now and then a bold hill, subdued to vigtatioii, or a towering uionn-tain heavily wooded to ihe summit. Here wero the old f iihionod road improvement; the frequent tavern and wuon tand, tlio hmg-us 'rt conveniences for mnn and beast; tho worn trough beside tlio water fpnut: the large tin lamp swinging in the porch ; iho sheltering stud and tho rude bar where ihe wagoner used tn drink iu tlio day of corn nnd rye You already seo the mirks nf di ciy. The excavated hi I U and long lino uf graded embankments tell of the coming loco-niotives, aud tho wayside inn begins to took deaolate. On the other baud, the farms aro putting on a better appearance; urn tum-r nun wiipm umicipniu Lijricn- burg and Rirhnuvid, and ihe hilla welcome the bridal of the sea. Men are nmhttimis uf prices. If you ask the worth of laud, the iron road ia quoted na authority for being "up in iho figures;" water privilege aro oiled lor future factories; nnd what will these minora! he I Tliuy will ship off whole hills nn end to the I ren su r e a e noiii h t'r tho world. Givo men a railroad, nml how fast they learn geology, economy and ihriftiuess. I am surprised just to see how the farmer lakes the lesson mid masters it at once. Another newspaper is ordered ; another agricultural magazine t a geologist is troubled to analyze specimens ; lest from chemistry are applied to water; new inventions nro patronized; a goner il waking up in the Inrit, tho kitchen, the garret; nod especially doe the dairy smite na ti me new roau would bring it a city income. Entering on the exirome southwest of Vir ginia, you have a line soil nnd climite fir sheep rearing. An nifent from iho wool interest of England ex plored Fa isiorn I ennessee anil Western Virginia, a few months ainco. nnd pronounced it one of tho beat wool countries in the world. He was direct from Austra lia, ami ho spoke to my informant uf the necessity fnr looking nut for new territories for sheep raising. Hi opinion was mat the attention ot Kngllah capitalist would ik turned in una nection. and that wool would noon become n important an export from the United Slates n cotton, Verily, if tho South become a lito-ral "woolly head" region, what then? Cotton and wool, rice mid sugar, tobacco, Hvo unka and turpentine, lit'inp and lumber, ought to give her something liko ft .liowitig nn ihe map i! Commerce. Mechanical industry like tho North' is a very noisy aort of a thing, but the South, wiih tho slower nxo and plow, is evidently on tho way to some nstonishing demonstration. It is now generally believed nt the South that water runs down hill, nnd that internal improvement snvo wagon transportation. A great discovery thi, consider inr that iho sun rises so much sooner tor BoIonian t linn f..r Siinlhwesterners. Talking nbont the English wool-agent brought on English linvelers in general over the Southwest, sud some musing stone were told 0f their facility in blundering. " Our people huvo a passion," aaid my miclligent friend, " for imposing mi them. I wa on board of a .Mississippi atenmer wilh Basil Hull.

How tho French court comforts itself when it is out in tho wood for a day's pleasure, is amusingly shown by a correspondent of the Observer, in tho passage noucxeu: "We stationed ourselves against the trues by tho side of (he narrow forest road, and had a most admirable view of tho Emperor and Bmproa. Ho was, as he is over represented, calm and cold, withinexpressive-feature and unimposing address, giving no outward indication of what he proves himself to bo, the master spirit of trance at this timo. ishe waa all grao, and smiles, and beauty, nuchas Burke fancied iu Marie Antoinette when dunpninoss uf France. Tho pictures ol her, evon the best, all represent her with an anx ious truwn; out 1 bow it not yesterday, as sne bowed to the people assombled to welcome her in the depih of the forest. When tho imperial couplo and all the suite hud alighted marshals, ministers of atato princes, senators, and ladies of rank, among whom wua nlso the Queon of Spain, now on a visit to the Emperor, we had a still better opportunity to survey Iho group, ns the promenaded boforo the houso within fifty feet uf us. The ladies wero all dressed with great elegance, yot simply, in muslins without orna ments, and the gentlemen were in frock cents, and without marks of rank. Indeed, no one would have supposed they were other than ordinary men, either in dignity, dress, physiognomy or manner. Tlio Em peror is a small man in stature, and wore a blue frock coat and grey jmuIb, without onv decoration, except the ribbon in bus button hole, which all distinguished rrencn gentlemen, and oven many undistinguished. constantly woar. Ho walked about and surveyed the iioraes ns it no ttnew more atmuttitem thon tho politics oi iwopo. ue warned in o nuii-shnttnug, hall mincing gait, lika a decayed rone. Ho atoaped considerably, and looked upon the ground with the air of a stu dent rather than a military man. Indeed, ho looked liko a dissipated, contemplative, aolhsti. acorn hi! man whose lifu alternated between intellectual labor and sensual pleasure. There wua no'hing imposing, im pressivo or dignified iu his manner. He woro a rmir oi wnuoKiu ginvos, and swung a walking attck like one wno prouionnuoa u roadway on a hot day, His numerous attendants seemed to bo unite at theii easo iu his preaenco, nnd swaggered about him with their hats on, liko a company of English aristocrats on tho race-ground ; but ho had but littlo to say to any of them After tho ladie had taken on their li-jht boimots, which now hung back of the heud.eximsine tho facovory boldly, according to my ideas, thoy joined tho gentlemen on the grass-plot before Iho house Then ihey wont into dinner, ami tho dinins room oc cupied three-four Ilia of tho whole house. A band of musicians woro stationed under tho window and played durinc the dinner, and nlaved moat boauiifullv and noisolessly, but softly. As tho doura nnd windows were upen, wo could see tho tablus nnd the poople at dinner. Thoaervants, who waited at the table, were iu simple (duck, with whito cravats, liko English cler gymen, who, in aspect as woll ns dress, thoy strikingly reaumoieu. ino servant wno woro tn livery were footmen, aud of nil inferior gn-de. Tho dinner occupied about an hour, and brought into requisition an infinite number of plates, which wero of Sevres china. Tho forks aud spoons wero silver gilt. The dishes were both porcelain and silver. They did not drink much wine, or eat much of tho dessert, which was nearly all sent out ns it was brought in. I observed that melons woro eaton immediately after the fidi. When oil had dined, as nt our ordinary tablet h'hote. they came out in front of the house nirain Indies nnd gentlemen. The gentlemen did not remain to sip wine, as in England, aft or ihe ladies had retired. Coti'en wns then handed around in tho open air, which all took standing. Most of Iho gentlemen smoked cigarettes. I observed that the Empress herself smoked ono wilh the air of n lady accustomed to that soothing pleasure. They all smoked incessantly. They then played at football before tho home, uud between m snectators. The Indies entered into the omnaemeiit with great nr-dour, and tho Empress tore her dress na it becamo entangled in her satin boot. Those who were not expert nt kicking struck tho ball with their flats, and none allowed so much skill na the Emperor. They laughed, and talked, and ronvied, with the cigarette iu their mouths, iu a queer way, which would have equally scandalized Queen Victoria or tho nrira maiden uf a V I . -II .ii-w uiif-iniiu Yiungu. Thero was nothing but fun and frolic, nnd a most marked equality in the enjoyment. When they were wearied, or rather whon the servant had had t;mo lo remove tho tables and sweep iho H mr, which bad no carpet, thoy re-entered ihe dining room, the Emperor leuomg tno way. men too ninoB overa dances ipiadrillos, waltzes, etc.. and (he neoolo drew still nearer the house, almost under tho windows. We saw all the movements perfectly. The ladies snid mat iti bmperor danced tho best, and Ihe Km p res a the next beat. There was Brent animation, nuite dif ferent, I am told, from an English ball-room, where they dnnco an coldly nnd htclesly as Iho ladle of ueocon street are accustomed to how to their acquain tances. English dignity would introduce formality nnd stupidity oven iuto tho dance. But the French havo less disdain ol natural expressions of pleasure, and if more artificial in ordinary life, are at least more graceful and pleasing when ihey meet together. Think ol nn English monarch or nobleman dining in a frock ctmt, or dancing with a cigarette iu his immth, or at leuM, suspending iho act ol amoking only in tho dance itself. Now, all llioso thing I saw with mv own eyes, and I write without any exaggeration, nnd have omitted many other things which I might have men tioned, among which is the selection or a uniform for Ihe huntsmen of tho forest by Hm Km nor or. t was amusing to see a poor fellow brought up and trembling with embarrassment before royalty, and examined from head to foot by imperial eves, while the tailor stooil hy to tako directions, and while tho grant olli-cere id atato passed their judgment on tho contemplated change."

The subject nf a Ihilroidto Lake Superior, wo seo ia earnestly bing canvnased, Tho proposed route to which we allndo is for tho extension of Iho Canada road (which h i already been finished to bake Huron.)

Such a route would he of mutual interest to the two Government and more strongly bind the friendly feeling which is daily nnd mutually iucrea- ing between them. It would also open a communication with this region at all sensons of tho yonr, which must Inevila hly bn dmio annner or lotor, either by wny nf Canada or upon our own aide.

Mr. Doem walked off uo the atreet nt a miiiil imn and the Judge proceeded leisurely down the street, leaving biinenn whittling slowly. When D rem waa out ot sight, Simeon threw Hwny tho atirk ho was employed on, and started off ton lawyer's office utihe lop if his speed, saying: ' I'll seo whether iho old mouther of the p.itty is InboHct aside for fellows os never hardly voted the ticket.' About two hours after Mr. Doem bad narted willi Si- meon, ho Btrolled into a fashionable saloon and culled for a brandy-Binnsh and a cisnr. Mr. Doem waa in n latent1 uncertainty and perplexity. Ho appeared to bo in aenrch of anmothing and unable to find it, like old John Willet, when looking for n coffin. Walking slowly around the room, ho glanced at tho pictures and hand-bills, us if ho ihuught ho might perhapa find it there; but being unsuccessful, ho cloaoly examined tho map of Ohio, and subjected that of North America to a sovero scVuliny. i con t hud it, snid Ooern-' What are you afior?

'I will try I they might tn know.' said Doem. and ithout delay bo went thero, Mr. Doom introduced himself In one of thn rlrk and, afier miking a neat apeech to the effect that he wisneu tno gentleman there present might be retained in oflice, though a Whig, he entered upon his business, saying: I believe you send letters from hero to all porta of the world ' 'Wo do, Sir.

With ihis, Mr. Doom returned to the saloon, whore he waa advised by Charley to go lo the library and examine the maps, charts, atlases, etc. Ho did so ; and after toiling about an hour unsuccessfully, he consul ted tho librarian, who speedly lound iho place in McCul loch's Dictionary. Seating himself at a table. Mr.1 Doem devoted all his attention to the perusal of the description nf Ciitugutulang. Having concluded reading, he closed tho book with an oath ao round and ex-1 presaivo that a venerable reverend gonlleman and two stout young fellows, studying for .the ministry,: who wero rending in the library, started to their feet., You infernal old cuss!' aaid Doom, looking the venerable old preacher of the gospel full in the fare. ; Concluding tint Doom wns a mud-man, t tin two stout young lellowa who were atudy ing f.r the minis-1 try made a precipitate retreat behind tho venerable old gentleman's chair, nnd, thrusting their head nut of tho window, shouted murder. 'My good Sir, what do you nieaul' aaid the old gentleman. ' Read that passage, Sir,' said Doom. placing tho book before him. Beginning nt the last paragraph of the description ol Cutugutulang, the old gentleman rend a follows: ' I ho port waa onco a place of some trado; but it ha latterly gone to decoy. Those portions of the in lerior which wore once cultivated, have fallen back into a atato of nature, and become again (ho haunts of wild beasts ami poisonous reptiles.

'Thank you, Sir; much obliged,' said Doom, shaking his fist toward the old gentleman, but with Simeon in tiis mind. C1IAFTCA SECOND. About four o'clock on thoaftemnon of Ihe following day, Mr. Sugg took hi way toward the reaidence of Colonel Fuiichal. Simeon had been hard at work all day, getting up paper tn be forwarded lo Washington for Iho mail nuoncy on tfie northern rnuto. Ho felt certain of obtaining tho appointment if he could got a letter from Colonel FiiDchal, for tho Colonel was a lending politician, nml knowu tn pnsaeaa great influonre. Simeon Cih-tilntrd upon securing that appointment while his friend, Mr. Doom, wna gutting up papers for the ronhulatp. He was pleated uud exhilarated; his spirits wero much higher than usual. ' Tho old member of the par y nre not tn he paaaed over in any such way, said he, turning a corner; anil there ho mine suddenly upon Doom. The latter hur ried up, and, tdiaking his band warmly, inquired into the slate of Simeon' health. Ho was delighted to hoar nisi u wna goo. i, Simeon,' said he, 1 1 must havo that consulship am told it it a splendid country .' ' Meuuii.nl! ,.suiilul! tho garden spot of all creation ! sniil Simeon.

Again Simeon looked at tho valise, and nnin lie glanced nt the 0d mud's house. You wouldn't like to lend mo twenty dollar, per haps,' said Doem. Simoon gronued audibly, and looked round in sore distress. Nevermind!' snid Doem, briskly; 'I'll rail upon tho old Colonel ; he'll hu d it me; ho never refu ts uny body any thing.' 'Step!' said Simoon, who, having a derided objection to Uoem s eciug tho (Jolonel at that particular juncture, made up hi mind ton compromise. 'I think I've got fifteen dollar about me.

Foreign Carrttpondenee nftht Ohio State Juurnat, THE CRISIS REACHED AT LAST-NEW ASPECT OF THE KOZSTA CASE. Pahis, October 13, 1853 The lung looked for, the long talked of crisis, which ha been Healing liko a mirage before theeyes of stock peculators and politician generally for ao long a time, seoms at last about to resolve itself into some thing tangible. "Never," as I heatd bu American orator say, not many months ago, "from the day of Noah down to Martin Van Duron," boa thero been ao many nps-atid downs, ao many nervous systems strung and unstrung, as in this unforlunuto uuestum of Iho Orient. The Great Northern Bear has a tremendous score to soillo idl' with iho rest uf Europe, for the fright in which ho hu kept everybody for iho Inst five months. The latest reliable news arrived in Pari l his morning, by telegraph from Trieste, is to tho following effect : "Tho declaration of war by Turkoy is approved by on imperial circular. A new levy ol 1."j0,000 men i ordered by the Sultan. (This will augment the Turkish force to 430 001) men.) Tho Russian tunc-.binaries remaining in Turkey are preparing to leavo. The declaration of war orders lht.t iho navigation of tho Danube and the Black Sou roinajoj opQt to neutral vessels." " So Turkey has decided positively for war, nnd with that decision come tho cortuin downfall of Constan tinople. Tho Sultan la entitled to the pruiae nf tho on- tire world for the forbearance which bo bus shown in tho cause of peoee, for the honor wilh which liohusocted hroiighuui, and for tho firm determination to which ho h is at last come, to stand by hia country' indepen dence, if he fulls. Turkoy, which ha ao long been tho problem of Europe, which haa for ao long u timo been the subject of tho sympathies as well aa the long ing of surrounding nations, is about to enter go from hordoubilul pontmn, nnd once trior o tho map of Eu rope is to receive new lines. Although England ami France are rousing up, and will offer material assist' onco to tho Turks, thoro aeeins to be a geticr.il opinion in Paris, among disinterested persona, that all tlio as- Nistuijce which they will bo able to send, will not keep the (Joasarks out uf Constantinople. After the Sultan hud afgnod the declaration of war, me representative ol the various rower mndo hi in a visit, when he charged them aovorally to mike known to their anveroigna tho ontiment of graiitudo which animated him for the efforts which Ihey hud made to terminate amicably this deplorable difficulty ; aud he then added, "Our ancestors took Constantinople sword in hand, and if destiny wiljs that she puss under another master, it shall not bo but with aword in hand that we shall quit thil country, abode of our religion and of the ashes of our ancestors; we shall vunquith or dio as soldiers for our country! " From tho day that the Sultan signed tho declaration of war, a now era hns dawned upon Europe ; f ir unless Russia make some concession, a thing which nil bur antecedents contradict, and which no one believe f r a moment alio will do, an era of war nnd bloodshed will havo been inaugurated, in which factions of all kiuda will bo ong aged, which will rnge perhaps for yonr, and terminate in tho crumbling nnd ro-diviaion of empires, ami in poverty and bankruptcy. One cannot help here recurring to the rem arkabln pro- diciiona made by Napoleon, during his captivity nt St. Helena, nn this subject. They ore so apposite to this eastern question, that I will quote ono or two of thorn. Tlio conversations took place in May, 1817, thirty-six years ago, with Mr. Barry O'Menro, and are published by that gentlemon in a work giving tho history of the captivity of iho Emperor. On the 2id of May, says Mr. O'Meara, alter leaving tho bath. Napoleon spoke about Russia, and said that the European nations would yet find that he (Napoleon) had adopted the best possible policy, at the timo he intended to re os-tablitb the kingdom of Poland. This, lie observed, would be the only effectual means of stopping tho in creasing power of Russia. It was puitjug a barrier, a dyke, to lhat formidable empire, which it was likely would yet overwhelm Europe. "I do not think," he added, "that I aball livo to see it, hut ymi may. You are iu the (lower of your ng, and may expect to live thirty Jive yean longer. I think that you will aeo that iho Russians wdl oitacr invade or take India, and enter Europe with four hundred thousand Cossacks mid I other inhabitant of tho desorl, and two hundred thousand Russians. When Paul (of Russia) was an violent against yon (iho Englih) ho aont to mo for a plan to invade India, sent htm one, with instructions in J detMil." j On tho 27ih nf the satno mouth, Napoleon ngniu returned to the same subject, and made use of the singular and most impressive statements which follow. I hey appear to approach a near to Ihe truth anil warning prophecy, as any political speculation which has ever been made: " In Iho course nf o few year," snid Napoleon, " Russia will hove Constantinople, tho greatest part of Turkoy, and all Greece. Tin I hold to bo n certain ns if it bad already taken placo. Almost all ihe cajoling and ll ittery which Alexander, of Russia, practiced towards nm was to gain my cement to effect that ob ject. I would not eonttnttoretceing that the equilibrium of Europe would be dettroyed. In tho natural course of thinga In a few yenra Turkey must fall to Russia. The grootest part ot her populoiion aro Greeks, who, you may say, are Russians. Thepoicert it would injure, and who could appotcit, are Engltnd, France, Prussia and AnUria. Now, at to Autlria. it will he very easy fnr Rut- tin to engage her attittance, by giving her Servia and other prorincet bordering on the Aut'rian dominhnt, reaching near ta Conttantinoplf. The only hypothctit on which I-y-anee and Engltnd may ever be allied with tincerity, will be in order to prevent thit. Were there over prediction so remarkable! Rut even thia alliance would not avail. France, England and Prussia united cannot prevent thi. Russia nnd Austria can nt any time effect it. Once mistreiofConslantinoplo, Russia gofs all the commeroe nf tho Mediterranean, becomes a great naval power, and God only know what will follow." Let the reader, nrquaiuled with tho Turkish que-tion, analjzo theao worda, anil compare them wilh the actual atnto of u flairs, and he will bo atartled at their truthfulness, Hungary, Croatia, the Lombardo Venetian provinces have been plnced in Austiian hands by Russian aid, nnd she now promise her Servi.aon enndi tion that she aids Russia, by a neutrality, in lakitte Turkey. England nnd France me united nil ltd question, and it ia the only question upon whh h they could bo united. From hia grave ihe elder Napoleon Ins dictated what ought lo bo iho policy of Frnnco nnd nf Europe on tin subject, nod his counsel has been adopted; hut little did he think that bin words were intended font member of hi own family. It is possible. however, that if he could have foreseen that tho alii mice with England, nf which ho apeak, would have been made iu Iho person of a Bonaparte, ho would havo been more aminine uf iis success in the defense uf Constantinople. Tlio Martin K zslo caao has nisumed an entirely new aspect. Mr. Brnwn, ih Secretary nf Legation nt Cm.at.inlinnple, ha attcceeded, by several weeks id uninteriupti d negotiations, jn m uring the liberation if tlio exde. Austria found that by a local law oxist-ng in Turkey, hbe cnuld not reclaim Kosta, nnd feel ing unwilling in complicate bar affairs more than they are at prcneui, on account id' herdelica'o position on tlm Turkish qiiesii'iti, she resolved, with a show of Uoi treat tid the matter ns ono nf importance, to givo hoi consent to his teUase. But in order tn yie to her (Oinloot nn appearance of niaguniiiniity in tho r ye of the world, and wilh tlio intention of hoiking it nppenr furl her that she did not renuunco by that act tho prin pi" ol internal lonal law for which she hnd contended in her iiiani'estn nn thi uhject, Austria demanded of the stipulations of Ins release, after he hud been placed nn board hu American vessel that he should go directly to America without atoppiug nt nny intermediate port ; that Iho Ametcntt pnkp.rt which hid been given him, muat dcleial him ex pretty from inking any mher route, or Irmn u iftiiou tho vessel until he arrived at hi destination. They nlso notified Kozs'a, hi the preaenco nf Mr. Brown, who wns pres eut Smyrna, lhat the Austrian govenuneiit would ex errise ita rights atiainst htm in ease b should ever reappear nn Turkish territory. The Austrian nflicer added that it wn nf Utile consequence tn his government that K'ozsin should not bo retained in its hands, ilaonly object being to remove him from iheeom, tries where his presence might serve as a pretext forcrimi ual enterprise. To tins Mr. B., Ihmtigh the AnmrtcnuCnnsul at Smyr na, replied, that he could not nouaent to a forced trans portal ion of Kozstn to America, lhat he had demanded hi liberation nn the ground of illegal seizure, and lhat when liberated , it must bo na a Iron man. nnd not aa a prisoner. Ho had nover admitted him to be a legal prisoner nt Austria, and she had no right to dictate any aucn term. 1 Ho tha mailer rest for the present. Correspondence of the Now York Daily Time!. VIRGINIA. A night in the Stage Young Virginiant and their Talk Wettern and Eattern Virginia Peculiaritiet of Vir ginia Training Slavery again Progrttt of Sentiment! Another Companion Hit VieietBa$il Hall reatnerttonhaugtiVr, 1 roost and UaluttnaketQtn. Jackton, Sulphur Sprinob, Sept. 1853. Inside of a stage coach, and the night very wet ix passenger to be jolted into one another three amoking and threo being smoked curtains down, and spirits too not much chance to sleep, ond rather les to bo nwako combined to mnko ua feel, on our rond from Newborn to Abingdon, lhat, wo must nil do ome-tiling uncommon for each other's happiness. The only resort wna to out clatler the falling rain nnd out-vanor the smoker. A dismal time it would have been but for talking: all were young hand, but they turned over some virgin aods, that had tho fragrance of fresh Spring. Tho most of the party wero voting Virginian. and, tor their age, were fine conveners. J could but notice here, a I have frequently observed thi Summer, tho spirit of animated pruLTess that makes the growing mind of Virginia, and tho strong disposition it now shuws to trust its own energies and win sac-cess by manly effort. Family reliances and hereditary aids are fast giving wny, nnd men are realizing that (iiey navo n numo to make nnd a tortune to win by virtue of their own brains and muscles. " Aro manv of your young men," inquired I, "dovuting themselves to teaching? " "Yos, sir, a largo number of them : thfiso stud -ml who aro educated by the State are required to practice teaching for two years, aud other select it as a profession for lifo " I learned, also, lhat many woro engaging in civil engineering. The most of the " squadt" on the roads were native Southerners, and their intelligent skill was highly commended. They wore penetrating oilier Slates, and fust rising to distinction. An is usual in Virginia, they were full of social reminiscences narrating scenes describod by their grand fat hers tracing out family connections stumbling on cousins in cverydirection.aud olivowith all tho other social sympathies that distinguish Virginians. One told of his grandfather, who had voted for overy President of the United States a wonderful in-stunco of consistency iu politic as well as of prolonged patriotism. Another seemed to bo a hisinricul library of 'he country. "A groat many incident in the life of Wnshingfnn," aaid he, "not in the books, I huvo had from my grandfather, and he haa talked them alt over and over to me." A capital plan, thought 1, to make heroes nnd alateamen; and who can tell but this domestic interest iu tho past of our nation, may bo tho secret of that marked national chnracter which Virginia exemplifies so much more than any other Stato ! Tho fact is, that in the Old Dominion, family pride and national glory, iu some form or other, aro buuud up inseparably, and a true Virginian is the ponrest of man if he cannot full back on immortalized greatness. Well, I like it. Men cannot do without antiquity, nnd I prefer that which never tirea to go further back than the Revolution or Pocahontas, This ia a convenient reference; office of heraldry aro unnecessary ; thingsare tongiblo, and you can aland on the ancestral gravea nnd vindicate your coat of arm. Our companions wore well informed in business matters living newspapers in current items clever editoriul thrown in; and they read off admirably. "How about lavery in western Virginia," asked I. "It approximates moro and more to tho sentiment of eastern Virginia. Indeed it is one Virginia now. It is more of a domestic institution hero among tho mountains and valleys smaller numbers and more freedom of intercourse. You would laugh to witness their weddiiipa ihoy are married in the parlor, and tho best silver st rvico is spread on ihe table fur them. Coffee is a grand aristocrat then- How ho looks dowu on 'poor white folks!' Tho truth is, that Ihe dignity of tho b.iuae belongs to Coffee, and you can't wean them from their masters." Subsequently 1 bad an opportunity of verifying these remark by an ex te tided conversation with an intelligent and wealthy gemlemnn of distinct! u. "It is alt a mistako," aaid be, "to think that western Virginia ia nrrayed against easiern Virginia on ihis subject." Ho gavo mo various focta in confirmation of hi statement, and fully satisfied my mind that it will be a long time before any portion of tho State will hazard (he agitation of this topic. "It was forcibly demonstrated hero not long since." snid he, "in a memorable incident. A man ol property had been ascertained to be implicated in a sort uf abolition movement, that two meddlesome men from Ohio had tar tod. A disguised party took him from hi house and offered him personal indignity. There wasacivil ell art made to tmnith theso offender, but public aon-timent frowued it down. The sheriff refused to aerve tho writ tho clerk of the court would have nothing to do with it the other civil nflicer followed in tho wake and finally it wa utterly abanduned. A largo number of tliesa paraona.exritod nearly to desperation. owned uo slaves; hut enough there had beeu unwarrantable interference blood bad been shed by the no groea through Abolition fanaticism and every one rallied lo tho rescue. Nothing," continued be, "can prevent iho consummation of that work, which slavery ' is destined to accomplish. Civilization by tubjugation is the uniform law. All tribe of people have risen in-this way. Cent uric a may be necessary, but the negro rnco will never ho elevated but by submission to iho while. Fur n long ti no from 1820 to 18501 wo uneasy lest the cuantry should precipitate ihis issue; out tno danger la past, ami iho relations oi white and negro were never securer than now." I cannot present his views exactly, nor can I altogether end or so them, but ihey are worthy of an impar tinl Rppreciiiti'in, from the fact that they indicate the drift ot tho most cultivated and reflecting minds on this subject. Ono point in his conversation particularly iuterestod me that referring to the knowledge which the negroes had acquired ot the Abolition movement, and it failure to produce any considerable impression on them. He had taken pain to examine into this matter, mid he did not conceive that a spirit of disftaiial'ucii ti had been excited. There ran bono doubt that tlio negroes themselves, an far as ihey have any information, are growing more nod more suspicion of the Abolitionists, nnd that the contest between north and south has tended to bind them closer to their muster.Along our routo we had a constant survey of undulating land th nyo glancing every moment over rounded knolls and winding vales; now and then a bold hill, subdued to vigtatioii, or a towering uionn-tain heavily wooded to ihe summit. Here wero the old f iihionod road improvement; the frequent tavern and wuon tand, tlio hmg-us 'rt conveniences for mnn and beast; tho worn trough beside tlio water fpnut: the large tin lamp swinging in the porch ; iho sheltering stud and tho rude bar where ihe wagoner used tn drink iu tlio day of corn nnd rye You already seo the mirks nf di ciy.

Entering on the exirome southwest of Vir ginia, you have a line soil nnd climite fir sheep rearing. An nifent from iho wool interest of England ex plored Fa isiorn I ennessee anil Western Virginia, a few months ainco. nnd pronounced it one of tho beat wool countries in the world. He was direct from Austra lia, ami ho spoke to my informant uf the necessity fnr looking nut for new territories for sheep raising. Hi opinion was mat the attention ot Kngllah capitalist would ik turned in una nection. and that wool would noon become n important an export from the United Slates n cotton, Verily, if tho South become a lito-ral "woolly head" region, what then? Cotton and wool, rice mid sugar, tobacco, Hvo unka and turpentine, lit'inp and lumber, ought to give her something liko ft .liowitig nn ihe map i! Commerce. Mechanical industry like tho North' is a very noisy aort of a thing, but the South, wiih tho slower nxo and plow, is evidently on tho way to some nstonishing demonstration. It is now generally believed nt the South that water runs down hill, nnd that internal improvement snvo wagon transportation.
