Tlio M.jor nnd I were seated one cold evening bo-fore a rousing fire of shell-hark hickory, in a lnree Ins house on I bo bunks of the Ohio; a Inrge jug of cider stood i manning an ilic4ii-orili, nud a cob pipe was on duty with buili of us.

'How win tlnii, Major t Just fill your pipe, toko a pull nt 1,m jug, nnd then give us the story comfort nhly.' Must after I built this cabin, which w,ii, in its time, the finest one in the county ('JO by fill feet,) I hnd with me an Indian nh"iit forty years old ; ho never wont out nfter g ttno but I win sure of sumo of it, nnd many ti saddle nt veutoi) his ' Red Jacket' hung up in this old hoil.

'Chicago was about 400 mi.es to the no'th'ard, nnd it was a long tramp to take ia win'er ; but I wns ymmp and strong, awl could drill a Kpiirrel's hend at sixty yardi. It.d Jiuket wm k-ien to go, bo we fixed for it, und on M md'iy, about 8 o'clock, live stout, hardy backwoodsmen, with Ool.

We started, and I need n't descriho nil our adventures on tint tramp; of course we hail lots of all kinds of mi nt. I generally cooked my venison on a stick beforn the fire, and ale it when about one third raw, which I think is i lie only decent way. We camped nt d;itk ; each man rolled in his blanket, with his feet to the lire, and laid himself out for tho night, after listening to Ool.

Springfield Republican, AN FA8TEEN TALE. TRANSLATED F.'R T11K EVENINQ JiURDAL Eaitward from Oathay and Japan there dwelt a Ki-ig whuflo doDiuius exteuded from sea s sea, and from the Simula ot Oraiiiies to ihe Crystal Lnkes. I'rosuentv and happiness were the lot of his subjects, such as were not counted throughout all tlio B-tst. Famine was unknown in that land, and treason was an unheard f crime. Tho founinin of youth was sdd to flow in its eastern forea's, nnd the city nf El Dorado stood on its western shore. Ho was a wise and prudent monarch withal. Then of his thirty-one sofib, sovereigns though they were, were bred up tn tom useful handicraft. One wrought in iron and coal, another plied tbe loom, nuothot made ntut giiiueii boots upon the rivers, and another tended Hocks titid beards upon (he mountains. There wasuiio region in tlio Kingdom that wns fruitful nnd fair lo hwtk upon, beyond nil the rest. It lay at tho heud of a vnlluy, culied tho valley of tho rather ol Itivers, and stretched fur utw Westward to the mountains uf tier- pctual snow. It wait a land for the culture of corn and wine and oil, nnd it was called HI Nebniska or The H-luge. Tins tho king had set apnrt for an inheritance to nis i miiiri ti, when they should arrive nt man a es tn'e. A line ol'seiiiiueh were stationed tiloirj its con lines, to keep ulV marauders. The sentinels were 116. M in mimbiT, and stirred not from tluir posts, night or day. As Ihe king was sleeping, one day, in his council chiiinber, he had a strafgo nnd perplexing i-ion. Ho dre.iuud tint n beecir came ami knelt before him, whoso ueppct wns like ihe mtp cto! ihe monthideuus of IheJinu. lie wan deformed, und scarred, and lame, and 1 1 'id but a f.ii.i rye.

Give me, I pray thee, a spat of ground wlioieon I may work mid earn my livelihood, so tint I winy ho no more trouble to theo." H till king took com pa is to u on him, nnd bade him go down into the fields of tobacco nnd rice and work there with his sons. And the beggar went. Hut no sooner was lie out of the king's sigh', than he denpoiled the king's sons of their Ian-!, and squandered their substance in idleness nnd prolligicy. I'inally ho came ng'tin and stood before the king, in n nnre pitiablo p if: lit than ever. '0 king," sai l he, " livo for eer! Tho tobacco fields thou gavest mo are wor'hlesH und uuprofitablo, a;d the rice patch is nothing but an infected swnmp. Give me, I pray thee, another spot of ground, whereon I may work and earn my livelihood, bo that may bo no more inmnio 'n thee." Again the king took compassion on him nnd gave him tho cane brnkes nnd Ihe fields of cotton. And ho departed ngaiu, Uui he wasted their substance a!o, and lived rt"i inly. He took the children nnd the women that lived tbero nnd sold them forMlverlo cerluio inTcliants who were going with oiruvims tn the city id' the Crescent. At lust, when the silver was spent, ho cauio nnd stood before the king n third tiuiti. " Muy the king," said he, " live forever! Hut the c:iiirt brakes thou gavest mo nro small and well-nith exhausted ; and as for the cotton he I U 1 eauoot pick Iroin them enough even In make my own clothes. Moreover, my neighbor, Mejicu of the mines, lias fallen upon me without provocation and maltrented me. Help mt, therefore, I piny thee, to remove westward out of bis rench, and I will promise that I will he no more a trouble to time. Then the king distrusted him. But to avoid controversy, ho did ns ho desired. He beat Mejicooftlio mini a. and took his house und lands, und gavo them to tho hria'ar. And he eavn him also all the vinevurds of the sea const, nud nil the plains of tlio Hulldloes, awny n in oi ii greui ifiKe oi nan.

Worse than all, ho actually accused them nl conspiring to destroy iheir fa; lie r, and pretended that what he h.td re ceived was a reward for saving tho kind's life from them, iu a cerinin garden called the Garden of Ihe Cnstlo ! Three years passed, nnd then tho hoggir caino again, nnd storul b. foro tho king. Hut this lime his manner had cliHi.g.'d.

No wonder then that the history of grain has been wrnpped up in mysery. It looks like a divine gilt-like language Itself which is found nmotigsi tho lowest sprcimeiis of savneo humanity. Still il is a remarkable t.ici tt.nl il isonly amongst civilized nntlena that grain is to bo found.

There are traces of it among all the na'ious of human antiquity, and someot mote recent date. The Mill day of the first month was esteemed auspicious by the Jews, because it ended tln ir captivity in Egypt. On the other hand, the 10th of Auguit was ill-omened, for on that day the first T. nipte wns destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, and tho second by Titus, six hundred years niter. The Komtins would never ut;d"rtnko any busiuessoa the 18ih of February, (Diet AlliensU,) which was tho I anniversary battle of Allia, when the nation was almost anniljilaied by tlio Gauls. Ihe Uarthageniaus nau some superstition ubout the 22d of August. Louis XI, of Kriiice, esteemed it an ovil omen it any ono Bpnko to him on business on Innocent's Day. There have been some remarkable coincidences of days jn i ho lives of distinguished men. The somo day nf the month h is not uiiirequontly been the day of birth arid death, and tho date of eomo memorablo event. Alexander the Great was born on the (Hh of April. On that day he won two of the most important victoiiea, and on that day be died. On that day his tut iter, I'iiillip, conquered Portidrn; and on that day I'nrmot.ifl, I'hillipa general, overcame the Illyrians.

The 3d of September was marked in the history ol Cromwell ns the date of the victory at Dui.bnr, also of lint at Worceskr, and as tho day of his death.

Wednesday was the lucky dny of the ceMirattd Pope Sextus V. It was tlio day of his birth ; the day on which ho was created cardtn d ; the day on which ho was elected) pope, nnd Ihn day on which he was inaugurated.

Ancient cnleiidnrs designate two days in each month ns unfortunate, namely, id' January, tlio first and tenth, February the third nnd fourth, Msrch the first and fourth, April the tenth and elv nth, May the third i and seventh, June the tenth and fifteenth, August the ' firitt and second, September Ihe third anil tenth, and j Dec j mb or the seve ill) and tnth. hitch of thes days was devoted to some peculiar fatality. Whether tho change of "stylo " introduced towurds tho close of the Inst century, deranging tho calendar order, lias a fleeted tho character of these days, we are nnablo lo say. For our own part wo agtee with Heraclitus, who blamed flesh d for calling sumo days lucky and others unlucky, ns not discerning that " iho nature of every day is the flinio." And wo heartily subscribe to the saying of St. Paul, who, after mentioning that "one man esteemoili one day abovo another, another es leemeth everyday like," add, " let every man bo fully ( ersuaded in his own mind."

Journal, Stock Raising. M iuv farmers are in the habit of sowing too much gr iin for iho good ol their laud nnd iheir own pndit. liny run the land so nnru that me crop nro smalt and unprofitable. Much more profit may ho derived imm tat ins by having a good proportion nf atock for ihe grain raised, in oub r to consume all tho coar'o fodder and hay. By this means farmers would plough less, uuu have more minure to curicti tho land, and raise as much grain as they would by ploughing more ; and have m ire cattle to sell, and make a greater pndit from the farm, mid keep the land better state ot cultivation. At present, an Kinds of stock briug bolter prices. Wool growing I consider the most profitable on billy lunds some distance from the market, on account uf the transportation nnd high prices of wool. Hut each one can decide what -lock will bo best for his situation und circumstances. Iu keeping stock more aitention should be paid to the breed ; get slock of the best breeds, and give them good care and plenty of feed at a regular time. Care should be taken to furnish L'ood sheds whero cattle and sheep ran have access nt ui 1 times, and also plenty of good water, winter nod summer. In the winter it should bo in the farm yard, or very near it, so that catllo and ulioep cuiilil get what itioy want, without going a quarter or a half a mile through snow and cold lo drink. Some any aheep do not want water in the winter; but this is a rnisukc, as sheep will quit eating hay and go and drink several limes while eating, il it is in the vara. Sheep should ho seieirated from cattle, and have a little gruiii in tlio win'er and spring ; they thould be tiken to the b.irn iu tho full, b--fi;ro iho grass gets so bort is to cnuse them lo lose lleeh. Calves should be slab led and f d grain the first wi iter with the best hay. II' stock nro well cured for und fed, it does well, if not,; thoy nro not nf much profit. i .Many wlio call themselves lurmers, will keen cutllel und sheep half Mirvul, with shelters, iu cold, stormy weather by ihe sido uf tences, or anything that will till on I a shelter, without water, unless going n auartt-r or a half n mi, ni.d then have to break tho ice in smie creek, nud th. n not get half euoiij.h to drink. Cittlewilldo without water sometimes, under these circumstances, unless they uro driven, und thtn ilia frequently wiih boys and d""S running the ciitte and jamming them in snow b mks ; thisisvery injurious to cuttle. People that follow this course, complnin that it is imt profitable to raise stock, Certainly not in this maimer. Hut do jusiico to your cattle, und tluy will pay ynti well for it. It costs very little more to keep well Uinn poorly. Keep came growing, ami in good condition at nil times; Ihen tbey will sell quicker, and will bring n better price, besides tho satisfaction ol having cattle that one is not ashamed to nll-r I r side.

The New York Timet baa an interesting article on the progress of the Germans in ihe western part of lexat, and ihe strong iidluence they are bringing to bear against the inaiiiuti n of slavery. Iu the pre ent aspect of alfiirs this information ia important. If the rest mints heretofore enacted by Congress are to be removed, then we trust the doctrine of ihe right of the people uf ihe territory to legislate on the subject of slavery, will be admitted and maintained, and in lhat event we think the race for supremacy wuuld not result iu the triumph of slavery. The Germaus, as a class, are arrayed against that institution, and cannot cu use nt to yield their notions uf personal freedom for the henefit of a few slaveholders. We copy the fol lowing from the Timet, of the 3d instant : We have received recently filoa of papers, and pri vate letters from Western Texas, which develop u somewhat important movement in progress. 11 is well kiiowu that the Germans h ive beou tending in consid erable numbers, uf late years, toward the tortile plateau lands of Western Texas. The genial climate,and tho mingled fruits uf die Northern and Southern zones, naturally tempt such people t'litber. The country is easy of access from the Gulf, nnd above all to the Ger man, the freeman need not work side by side with the siave. i o those ierlile holds slavery has uoi pene-trnted iu force. Our correspondent informs us that Iu me town wuoro lie is visiting, San Antonio de uexar, there are ihutisnuds of Germans doing all the mechani cal work, and even tho plantation labor of 'he country around, a iimuiand huh a o cotton nave ooen raiseo and picked, in one lUtlu district, by Germans alone. Gei in in hbor is found to be cheaper, and, of course, fir more ihurough thun slave labor. Every thing indicates, he a'utos, a prosperous, thriving community. Schools and churches are being built; the rowdy, idle habits of Eihteni Texas are not comparatively visible, and a spirited auti shivery press is sustained. Iu other words, a settlement of freedom is growing up almost iu the heart of a slave Siatol The German ,-apers whirh our informant sends, bear out the same account. They an large, handsomely printed sheets, essentially " Freesuil " iu tone, containing, in ihese numbers, sev eral extracts on the duty of foreigners in our country tmviuds slavery. Who knows, sivs our correspondent, that a free PusJa State nny not, in a few years spring up hero in Western Texas T To the friends of free nli'Tat the North, such news as this, in tho presonl nspecl of ulfiirs, cornea liko a voice of encouragement.Of all our immigrant population, the Germans are to bo the important portion. They are crowding into tho great valley of Ihe Mississippi, and forming new towns and settlements in the country of Iowa and Wisconsin. They number nearly a hundred thousand in Now Yoik City alone. They nre industrious, sober nnd economical, and above all, fitted to do cheap and ingenious labor of tho country. Wherever their labor will be brought into competition with slave labor, the latter will staud no chance. The German will live as cheaply and work infinitely mure intelligently than tho negro. Hut most important of all, these men accus'omed much to clan in associations are settling the borders and even tho territory of Slave Statea. They have left their vineyards and sunny land, because iho curse of Despotism was oil them; and they cannot como here to tako up Slavery. They have felt the shame and the gall all iheir life of being bondsmen to some hereditary noble or king, and now, just stepping into a free manhood, with feelings which we can h trdlyeven imagine, they cannot work shoulder U shoulder with a slave; they are Anti-Slavery lo a man. Peaceable, not given to noisy demonstrations, as becomes them in their new citizenship, they yet say In the firmest of all modes by iheir practice We utterly reject mid separate ourselves from Sluvery." They show their Abolitionism by iheir works. They out work and underlive tho negro. They pick cotton better and cheapen they buy less and sell moro with their voluntary, industrious, many-handed labor fur every child in a German family works than Ibe neighboring planter can with bis drove of slaves, who do their slatternly taska under continu d fear. Thoy are, at least in Texas, uprooting the system more (ban all tbe runtiug attacks of Aboli-tionis:s for tho last twenty years. Their influence on the Institution in ibuse countries is irresistable liko a law of Nature. Not all power, or wealth or tyranny can sustain a system uf production, however ancient or well defended, when there is one little defect when if doe not pay. We Invo always thought that just a alightchange iu the great 1 iwa uf Commerce the mode of cultiva ting cotton, for instance would shake tbe system ol Souihern Slavery more than all direct assaults fur a cenuiry. Here in one strong hold is that little cauio silently working, yet with the force of nn earthquake. Cheap free labor is quietly competing with and passing cosily slave labor, No rantiug or violence, or legislation or compromise can stop it. The old hard system is beiog rent from beneath, ns frost rends tho rock; and above it, beloro wo have thought of the change, as fair, fertile, sunny land of Iree meu is rising, to take ils place soon, as a Free Stale of our Unioo, in the very heart of southern oiavo Estates, Mny tlio Germans prosper in their quiet Uboniis souiemeuiB i THE L ABO EST CANNON IN THE WORLD. Amidst the objects of curiosity preserved ot Beja poor is a large gun, formed nf a mixed metal, of which there is said to be some portion ol gold, and a very con aiderable quantity of silver. The weight is forty tons and it is ui lowed lo be the largest piece ot ordinance of i he sfime description in the world. This aplenlid gun was the work of Chuleby Roomy Khan, an officer in ih service ol Hoossein Nizam onao, at Ahmuduug gur. I tie mould in which it waBcast is still in existence and lies neglected iu the garden of the tomb of ibe lounder, which has been converted into quarters lor an English officer. Tins gun is supposed tu have been taken in iriicj, by Ally Adil Shah; and many persons who visit liejapoor, regret lhat such a splendid specimen of ihe art nf caution founding in India, at the distance of three hundred years, should be allowed to remain neglected on the dilapidated walls of a city so nine Known as ujapoor, innenn m ucuig pmucu iu some cimpicu"UB situation in Fitisland, where it would niiract the admiration nf the whole of Europe.

Journal: I preiumollialCrtliforfliacorrespon' dence occupy about the same position in the editorial Hours' that California Bonds do in Wall street deci. dedly below par. Nevertheless, E trust you will find i sufficient of interest tu justify an insertion of this letter; especially as it may be uf some benefit to those who expect lo immigrate to this country the coming season-It is generally believed here lhat the days for making " heavy striken " are over, but without doubt the mines will continue tu pay good wages for years to come. As the roward for industrial pursuits is becoming moro equalized, ihe attention of our population is turned moro lo the legitimate sourco of permanent prosperity the cultivation uf the soil. There is a fine field open bore for enterprising farmers, and oue lliat will bestow a rich reward ; but permit me to say lhat those who c me out for ibe express purpose of cultivating ibe soil, not uufrequonily lubor under tbe same delusion of those who come nut to " make a raise " in the mines Reports reach home of the great productiveness of California soil, and true ones loo, so lar as tbey go, but they are not ample enough. The products of our own neighborhood would natouUh the must successful far mer uf the Buckeye State. Oue man of my acquaintance cultivated one hundred and fifty acres of bailey, for which in market, he received ihn enormous sum of twenty five thousand dollars. Hut tho report should not stop here; if it did, we should be ininled. To commence with, bo must hovo four teams, worth one thouHand dollars each ; lour ploughs valued at seventy five dullarsonch ; two hundred and twenty five bushels of seed, at three d-dlura and a half per bushels, worth nearly eight hundred dollars; four hands, three months- twelvo hundred dollars; thre.ilung one thousand, and hauling (o market two thousand dollars; so, iu the aggregate, It cost him about ten thousand dollars to got his crop in market, which would leave him fifteen thousand fir his yoar's work. This is n very handsome stimitidiel, but I am well aware that ten thousand will diminish the effect pmduced by the original sum very materially. It is not my object to deter those who with to immi grate to ihia country, from doing bo, but lu present facts for their consideration in order to have them avoid that dissatisfaction so frequent upon tho arrival of immigrants in ibis country. Tho seed lime in this country it ihe winter months, or so soon as the fall rains aet in . The attention of the California farmers is now directed to iho growing of wheat, which ia a very productive crop. As the pro ducts of iho en-t are priuoipilty sent to the MedKr-ranean.and the Chilian difficulties bavo stopped our imports from there, this branch of agriculture will be very remunerative to the farmer. Those circumstances will, without doubt, have a greater effect upon Ihe development of California resources than almost any thing that could have occurred. Owiog to ihe vast number of cattle brought over Ihe plains the past summer, together with the severity of the winter cold and dry the prices are now low for (bis market, There will be but little made on cattle Una year. Horses will pay better than any other kind of slock that can be brought over. A good spaa of horses brings from eight to twelve hundred dollars, in proportion to their size. Tbe market does not stand an much upon (he looks of horses as upon the size, ibe larger the better. The winter thus far has been very severe upon both farmers and miners, being cold and dry. The President's Message baa reached us and to lome, gives iitiafaclion, and to others is any thing but the right sort. Fur my own part I think it too evasive, too much like a blind man, afraid to step out. In speaking of the Pacific railroad, he is any lh ing but explicit. In the whole message (hero is scarcely a single positive idea fearlessly and boldly aet forth, aet forth as an In dependent statesman ought to set it forth. He wishes lo please all, and in trying lo do so will please none. The revolution in Lower California is producing no little excitement here, and as we have any quantity of reckless adventurers, the affair will receive no small amjunt of "aid and comfort" from (his State.

Dkar Mr. EniTORt The last "event" which Irani-pired at Washington, ia tbe election of Mr. Nicholson to tbo office of public printer for tbe House of Repre sentatives, in place ot tbo late General Armstrong. Mr. Nicholson having now become the proprietor of (ho " Union," that many-tuned organ will retain tho where with to keep its pipes In order. Whether any aorioua opposition to Mr. Nicholson was over contem dated we have not been able, bore, to ascertain, but it ia certalu that there was not a very full caucus when ho waa nominated. It was, perhaps, wise in the members ol the parly which elected the present executive to sup preu all show of disaffection, and not give out a seem' ing that they were quarrelling over Ihe dead body of the late proprietor of tbe Union nowapnper, and rocip' ielfOogre..ir.bunt Ht tl.i.. porll.p.. would not nave ueeu ine case, u moro were omy one other i ti oh. nr h i .... - newspaper la tbe city of broad avenues, which bad claim.

It would, prob ably, rather share wiih the Union, than that tbe little, affectionate devotee of th A Iministrnttun the Evening Star, should get a spoonful; and on the other band the Star would delight lu playing info the hands of Mr, Nicholson, rniher iban have tbo ponderous Globe come In for half a chance. Tho latter will, therefore, have tn console itself with following the debates in Congress and give to the public a condensed notion ol ihe speeches which are made, aud all iho " tno Ions " and " resolves ' of that body, while tho " tVisser," will g.-n-ip you everything that it can bring to light lo all the public places thai ore nut lo be penetraled by the must unbnsli ful perseverance It is Ibis peculiar characteristic lhat makes the " Star" o eagerly-sought for in all our Ho tels and rending-rooms, that it i at time extremely difficult lo get a peep at it. But enough uf the paper, except a to the news we getuut uf litem. By those just received from Wash ington, it appears lhat ihe Nebraska bill has been or dered tn be engrossed in ibe Senate, by a vote of 2!) to 12 the hour being 0 p.m. There were a good many absentees. Among them General Oais, of cjuras. It wuuld be a locky matter for him, If the debate on its final passage, (which I understood to be led nil' by Mr. Bell, to dny,) were prolonged until late on Satur day evrtiing.and until "the hand of ihn dial is upon the prick nf noon," of that night, so ihnt bis religion- scruple would furnish him an excuse to ttopt,n he did once when the river and haibur bill wns lo be voted upon. Our market continues to bo well supplied, nnd it is uot probable that the price nf Hour nnd L'miii will again rie tu iho figure which ihey had attained s me week ago. City mill, of the best quality, sell now for $7,51 iho average rate nf other manufacture bring $7 38. There I plenty of flour yet un hand, for which $n.25 had been offered. Wheat range from $1.80 lo $1,83. The European commotion ha already lost its Influence npon tbe value of that which feeds a nation enjoying peace. I cannot give a reason, but I don't believe there will be much of a fight after all, notwith standing ihe earnest pretence made by England and France. 'Tis an enviable position for the laiter to oc cupy! Inking tho pari ol Ihe power which has thus far been tho victor. GENUO, Tux Dattok, Xxnia and BitrRK Railroad.

Iho remaining five miles Is graded, except two cuts one Ihrniioh Mud' man s hill, at llie city, and the other through Cox's hill, a couple of mile east. On each of these a strotm force i employed, and Mr, Frost feols confident Mint both will be overcome by the tint of April. The iron will all bedown about the same time, except tliroimh tbe cuts. A few days only will then be required to con eot (he parts. The middle of April will not pass, we think, until Xonia and Dayton are brought within half an hour of each other. Cin. Gazette. FB0M CLEVELAND. Reform School Houses of Refuge-TheYankeea-TJea-oo n Grant, and the Farm School-Cincinnati House of Refuge - Agitation - Nebraska - Chase, Bumner, Wade-Agitate. Cli.vki.and, March 7, 1854. While the Legislature is wailing for the Auditor's Report, for divora facts and figures upon which lo base future legislation, will it not go lo work and get up a " Reform School " for the benefit nf thousands of children and youth in our own Ohio. The Reports of tueRorortn School at Westboro', Mass , and tbe Reports of Ihe Houses of Refugo in New York, show tho most gratifying resultB. Something must be done fur iho children of tacitly in Ohio. They must bo tnkon enre of either iu a Reform School, or Houses of Rofuge, or in Jail and the Penitentiary. It is cheaper to reform lo educate than to indict, . convict and punish. It is too bad, that with 2,000,000 of inliabilniits in Ohio wiih moro thin $800,000,000 of uctuol wealth, we have not a Reform School. Would ihnt we hnd a Theo una Ltman in our State to give $75,000 for a Reform School I Will you just whisper in the enr of your "Special correspondent," "Frank," lhat those 'everlasting" and "conM ientimis Yankeca " down enst, and out west loo, sometime) open their money bags very wide for donations for moral, educational ami ro-ligious purposes. Within this century, Boston has donated, through her oitteens, more than $10,000,000 to Benevolent, Religious nnd Educutional purposes, mid the Yankees on Iho Reserve, who have "consciencies" and "pockets," have built up without Uie nid of a siuglo dollar from tho Treasury of tho Sioto, two good collegiate institutions ; one of which has almost ns many s'mJenls as all ihe oilier colleges, in llie S'ato, rnd has done nn untold amount of good; two excellent medical schools, and very many academies and high pclmols, whoso pupils vary from 50 to 200; and all without any aid, save from Ihe "pockets" ofiliemsulves; while colleges and medical colleges in the southern part of tbo State, wero fur years fattened on inney taken from Ilio county treasuries of the R.-servo. The Yankees are a " peculiar penplu." They lovosihool houses, meeting houses, town bouses and blackamiih shops; nnd always put on iheir best clothes on Sund iy. They are tho most penuy saving and the most liberal people in the world. And it is because tle-y anvo tho pennies, that they are enabled to givo their thousands und millions lo tho great moral and benevolent enterprise, of 'ho day. Tho "conscientious" Yankees bavo t'iken their lives in their hands and gone to the Jslutuls of llie ocean to tbe courts of Africa to iho banks of I ho Ganges the Irrnwnddy, and the Indus, to tench ibe Gospel of tbe Prince of Pence. In Burmnh, in Asinm, in China, aud among other nations whero Yankee men arid Yankee womon toiled "to redeem mankind from error," and to elevate iheir race to ihe full dignity of Bons and daughters of God, will they bo remembered as angel of mercy, mid the green turf which now covers in tboio far lauds, muuy sainted christian martyrs' graves, will in nfttr years bo watered by the tears of Christian lovo and affection and gratitude, by ibose who shall bo redeemed from Paganism, through the self sacrificing influence of these disciples of llie Son of God. I am not a Yatikoo. But there is not a gray old mountain, or sunny hill, or pleasant valley, or rocky coast, or dimpled lake, or majestic river, or winding stream, " whose waters danco o'er pebbled beds and golden Bands," iu that Yankee land, lhat I do not love. Enough of ibis. Does any one wish to know how much good Reform Schools do, lot him go to Wostboro, Mass., and learn there. Or, if in Boston, let him call on Cambridge street, and go with that good old man, (whoso life has been one act of Christian charity,) Deacon Mosis Grant, to the " Farm School " ou one of the Island in Boston Harbor, and seo some ninety boy, well behaved, well instructed and well cared fur ; hear the Deacon talk to them in bis earnest, instructive and truthful manner; open inmo of the letter frntn the piles handed you which havo been received from the buys who have gone from ihe Farm School, and you will come homo with a full determination lo do some-ihing to benefit llie neglected youth of the State. I am indebted to ny good friend, Mr. Rat Had dock, of Oolumbua, for the Fifth Annual Rep jrt of tho Homo of Refuge, Cincmtia i. It is lull of instruction. This Report shows, of ihe i:io boys, 42 were ignorant of the alphabet; 20 could read imperfectly in easy reading; and 12 could read well iu easy rending. Of 31 girls, t3 wero igaurant nf ihe alphabol, and but four could road veil in b.mks generally. Here wo see igno. rauce, vagrancy, larceny and iuatibordiiintion. Of 147, only 50 were ol American parentage. This fact tell us how great a work wo havo t.i do iu educating our roign population. As I wrote you l istyoar, I wrilo ugain, that a House of Rofuge should hi a State instimtinn. I hopo our excellent Semtur will offer a resolution nt once to pay to the House of Refugo Hie amount paid fur repairs by damage caused by iho fluid on the break in tbo canal in April, 18.12. This would b but simple justice. Let it be done, The " almighty dollar "due not constitute a Stato.' Let ua have more legislation for humanity, Thoy need it. Tharo should be no beggar childrau in our street no "poor houses " iu our Suto, Every poor lion so ia' a premium Tor idleneta. They nocd asylums for Ibo sick, the lame, the weak, but never a poor bouse, but ttork hoiiies and farms.

Cbao goes out of the Senate, and lie put Pugh in. He warmed that child of Young America into life, at the session of l88-'4!. I did not like tbe manner of Mr. Chase's election. Rut let me say to him, ns a Senator, that ho has been true to ihe beat interests of Ohio i aud in all things he deserves Ihe warmest thank of all the people of tbe Stale, as their Senator. His Henntorial career ha been marked by industry, nbiliiy, and dignity, and hi speech against the Nebraska Iniquity, ought lo ondear him to every lover of freedom in Ohio. Iu that, be maintained tho true principles of our Government. Il i a shame, a disgrace to our country, and to the age In which wo live, that two such men a S. F, Chase nnd Charles Sumner, whoso recent effort in the Senate chamber of tho United States, are worthy of companionship with the great speech of Webster In reply to Hayne, mid of Cnrwin against the compromise bill nf 1818, should be nbuied, and villified, and traduced, becauso thoy bve defended American freedom, agaius; tho aggressions of what seem now an overwhelming despotism! I would to heaven, Ihnt Charles Sumner and S. P. Chie occupied the White House, and the Vice President's chair at Washington. A few more Nebraska Iniquities, and they teill, too. I have some little confidence in man. I have faith in tho power of truth. I have hope that right will yet triumph over wrong. Ohio will yet have a twice in the Senate. The bold and fearfess Wade is there i and ho will speak out in ihe fenrtess language of an indignant freeman, and not in the caution whispering of a Democratic slave. , Let us agitato. We have a riyht to. We are tbe eldest children nf the eldest d .tighter of tbo ordinance of 1787. Never a storm rail the tainted sir needed It, Never s sturm bat Ihe sunshine aaoceeded It."
