The winter encampment at Valley Forge is one of the most famous episodes of the American Revolution. The significance of the encampment lies both in its fact-based history and also its storied myth. The mythical narrative is important in its own right for it reveals something about our character in the heroic way we wish the Revolution to be remembered. The popularity of the myth also speaks to its usefulness. Valley Forge remains a touchstone - always ready to minister to a generation in crisis.
The Valley Forge encampment occurred during the third year of the war. Early successes against a smaller British army had led some Revolutionary leaders to believe that the righteousness of their cause and a militia-type force composed of citizen soldiers would be enough to force the British from America. By the time of Valley Forge, however, most Americans realized that the Revolution would be a long, drawn-out affair.

So my mini-map (also radar/drone box) no longer appears and instead I get these little white dots on the side where it should appear when I hit the hotkey. I think it only happened after the last update, but unsure. If this has happened to anyone else or any suggested would be appreciated!
I would be greatful for any help because as you can imagine, it affects gameplay a lot. I could actually could do without the minimap I guess, but flying/driving vehicles without the radar is super frustrating.Thanks!

Death of Nicholas.
This news, l.rought by the Africa, U of the
highest interest, jn every respect. The jres
ut Czar, Alexander, is said to be an amiable,
but not an energetic man. It would be idle
to sjieculateon the probable change which
mav be produced iu the condition of Europe
by this sudden appearance of the King of
Terrors to claim hi share of influence on
the destinies of nations. We should feel
grateful that, in our country at least, the great
questions of peace or war are not dependent
on the life or death f auv one man.

are "nursed in customs nntagonistical to re

danger is, that they are too republican. Such
is their intense hatred of Kings that they are
jealous of Presidents ; such their dread of the
tyrannical abuse of power, that they are re
luctant to concede the necessary delegated
discretion to their governmental agents.
This is error, but it is error in the right direc
tion ; for we have the highest authority, that
of Mr. .Jefferson, for saying that " free gov
ernment is founded in jealousy and not in

it is he transition-stale of humanity.
The most philosophical of American states
men, in language worthy of the thought, has
expressed the great political truth which
forms the justification of Nicholas.
" Liberty is a reward to lie earned, nota
blessing to lie gratuitously lavished on all
alike ; a rew ard reserved for the intelligent,
the patriotic, the virtuous and the deserving;
and not a boou to lie Wstow ed on a people too
ignorant, degraded and vicious, to be capable
either of appreciating or enjoying it.
"Nor is it any disparagement of liberty
that such is, and ought to W the cae. . On
the contrary, its greatest praise, its proudest
distinction is, that an all-w ise Providence has
reserved it, as the noblest and highest rew ard
for the development of our faculties moral
and intellectual.' A reward more appropriate
than liberty could not l-e conferred on the
deserving ; nor a punishment inflicted on the
undeserving more jnt than to le subject to
lawless and ' despotic rule. This dispensa
tion seems to W the result of some fixedjaw ;
and every efJoit to disturb or defeat it, bv"nV
tempting to elevate a people, in the scale of
libert, aWve the point to which they are en
titled to rise, must ever prove abortive and
end in disappointment. The progress of a
people rising from a lower to a higher point
iu the scale of liWrty is necessarily slow ; and
by attempting to jirecipitate we either retard
or permanently defeat it."
Complimentary.
The following compliment is paid to Gov
ernor Weight, by that valuable pajer, the
" Journal of Cvwhierct" for his vetoes on the
bank bills:
Governor Wrioht, of Indiana, has main
tained his high character for sagacity and
sound principles, by vetoing the Lank bills
which recently passed .the legislature of that
State. We regret to learn that both bills
have been passed over the veto, the constitu
tion only requiring for this purpose a simple
majority. One bill establishes a State Rank
with branches, the charter of which is to
run for twenty yeais, not subject to any alter
ation by the legislature "without the assent
of the President and directors of the Rank
and every branch thereof." This monstrous
bill provides that twenty days' notice of the
ojieiiing of the suhscrijition looks shall 1
given, but allows the books to be closed as
soon as the amount is sulcriWd, which would
give one man or clique the power to subscribe
for the whole, and then close the l)Ooks tijkn
all other applications. The most extraordi
nary provision, however, is that which author
izes the Bank to receive on deposit, moneys,
hullion, plate ami other articlesof value of small
lalk, ujon such terms as may be agreed upon
between the parties, ; and then to discount
to the amount of three times the amount of
it3 capital, and three times the amount of the
deposits! Such a lasis for banking is a dis
grace to the age in which we live, and we
wonder that the people of that State allow
such a system. Such a bank might well af
ford to pay a liberal sum for the charter, but
we shrink from the supposition that the leg
islators who supported it could have any per
gonal interest in such a scheme.
The other law alluded to, is less objection
able, Wcause its provisions may 1 changed
by the next legislature, and it is not fastened
upon the State for twenty years, like the incu
bus above noticed. It contains, however, no
clause of improvement upon the loose system
of general banking already established in In-
diana, while it places almost unlimited tow
er in the hands of the Auditor. We did hope
that the State had learned something from
the financial struggle through which it has
just passed, but it would seem that this is not
the case.
Internal Improvoment
Our friends of the Journal impute to Presi
dent Pierce an unbecoming paitiality for the
South, because he signed a bill for removing
oWtnictious from the Savannah river, and
failed to sign one making appropriations for
the St. Clair Flats. We have no knowledge
of the act and bill except what is derived from
the lages of the Journal. If our memory
serves us, our democratic friends about Cleve
land were of the impression that the bill for
the St, Clair Flats w as neglected in the hurry
and pressure of the closing hours of the ses
sion. But even if the President put it in his
pocket deliberately, th ere is a fact, appearing
on the face of the act for removing obstruc
tions from the Savannah, which may explain
his aptiroval of that act. The obstructions were

and which was not adverted to by the Jour
nal, may fiirniih the key to any apparent in
consistency in the conduct of the President.

To a republican government there is neces
sarily cause for greater alarm than to others.
Here the adopted citizen is invested with Wth
the right of choosing and being chosen to
office. Not only must he lie an elector, but
he may le, and often is, an officer. Every
additional naturalization tend to denationalize,
to Kiiroieanize America. The universal re
cord of history teaches that all republics that
have risen and fallen ow e their destruction to
foreign influence, unseen at first, jiermitted
till too strong for resistance, at hist fatal.
The last sentence contains the important
discovery, for which His Excellency may
claim the merit of originality.
We, in our ignorance, had sujqiosed that, as
there had lieeu few republics in the world and
several of them not deserving the name, his
tory could provide no guidance liecaitse it
could furnish no jiarallel. But we stand cor
lected. " 77e unicerstil record " has Wen in
sjiected, and our merely secondary and hear
say information must lie set aside. The most
recent case of the fall of a republic was that
of the French republic on the lid of Decem
ber, when Loris Napoleon closed. the legis
lative chamliers, seized the jiower of govern
ment, and vested them in his own person.
Ilis Napoleon was but an imitator of his
uncle, who, by a similar act, had overthrown
the Directory.- Napoleon's conduct finds a
likeness in that of Cromwell who dissolved
the jtarliament, put an end to the common
wealth, and ruled England with more than
kingly jiower. Cromwell, again, has a pro
totyje in Jri.irs Cesar, by whose hand the
Roman republic fell. These were all cases of
usurpation and military dictatorship ; but we
never before read of any " foreign influence."
The Greeks, after lieing shattered by long
continued civil wars to sav nothing of an
invasion by the Gauls were finally conquer
ed by Rome. This was, no doubt, a case of
" foreign influence " of a very decided sort ;
but we doubt whether His Excellency refers
to "foreign influence" exercised in this way.
The same sort of "foreign influence," viz:
conquest, destroyed Carthage. Venice and
the little Srates of Italv became merged in
the Kingdom of Italy, established by Napo
leon. Whether this merger was by conquest
or voluntary -annexation is i.amaterial. It
certaiuly was not by such "foreign influence"
as naturalization produces.
We, also say, lie ware of foreign influence,
of that influence which conies, like a thief in
, the night, to filch from us the jewel of our
liberty ; of that influence which is foreigu to
the constitution, foreign to republican insti
tutions, foreign to the welfare of humanity ;
and which, though disguised under patriotic
pretences, is but another name for the intoler
ance of Kurojiean desjiotism.
But whileywe repudiate the idea of danger
from our foreign population, under existing
laws, we believe the native part) are doing
the very thing to create danger.
Canning, in one of his speeches, tells a
story of a Roman general who had gained a
great victory and made many prisoners. The
victor,at a loss how to disjiose of his conquer
ed enemies, sent a message of inquiry to his
father, as enator distinguished for wisdom;
The father replied, "Dismiss them unransom
ed and unmolested." The son could not un
derstand such advice, and sent a second mes
sage .The second answer was. "Exterminate
them to the last man." This was equally as
tonishing, and the son hastened in person to
consult bis sire. " By mv first advice, which
was the liest," said the old man, " I recom
mended to you to secure the everlasting
gratitude of a iiowerful jx.vjle." Bymy
second, I pointed out the jxilicy of getting
rid of a dangerous enemy. There is no third
way."
The native party, in their treatment of for
eigners, are like the Roman general. They
will not receive them as friends and equals;
they w ill not drive them from our shores as
enemies they only make them pass, under
the yoke; they subject them to indignities,and
create invidious distinctions. This is the
sure plan to unite in one solid mass of hos
tility all the discordant elements of our for
eign jiopuL:.tioii.-
Divide and command, is a maxim by which
we might always protect ourselves. But we
are not put even to the trouble of dividing.
Our foreign population is already divided.
Every political opinion has its sujiorters
among them; and everyone has its oj.jmi
nents. What two classes of men can be more dif
ferent than Irish Catholics and German Tur
ners? Where can we find, among natives,
such diversity of creed and character as ex
ists between stern Scotch Presbyterians and
the airy French dancing masters ?
If you wish all these various races and na
tions to forma really dangerous and foreign
element in society, give them some common
cause of grievance, make them feel that they
are common sufferers,aiid they w ill combine to
secure a common remedy. Then, there will

which means that they are to be regarded as a
general sort of a platform, on which the Allies
are willing to treat, subject, however, to such
molifications and alterations as may appear
to them to ! desirable and reasonable. The
Czar will certainly not accept them in their
present form, until he has lieen pretty well
drublied ; nor does it appear to us that Eng
land and France have vet achieved anything
against him to entitle them to ask so much
not more than is right and proper, perhajw
for the protection of Turkey, but more than
they can exjiect to get, unless they take S
liastojml, for so far they have been decidedly
worsted, and although all the advantages
gained by Nicholas are of a negative kind,
still they have Wen valuable t3 him and very
injurious to his antagonists. These, since the
declaration of w ar, have sent to the EastaWut
one hundred and seventy thousand soldiers,
of which not less than fifteen thousand have
died of the cholera, and not less than twenty
five thousand have died iu Kittle, of wounds,
and of all kinds of diseases. Nor can they
imister now in the Crimea more than ninety
thousand. So that the war, as regards tbe
leiswhtel ( the army, has Wen a nmst alisoi W
ing one, and as regards the vtuteriel not less
so ; for already very little less than $lo ,0 x
(l have Wen exjended, exclusive of what
Turkey ha paid, and promised to pay. The
Inidoii Timet says, at the end of a year's
war England will W minus on account of it
aWnt twenty millions sterling, and France
will have exjiended not less, proliably. It
woidd W a pretty fair calculation to assume,
that so far, the war has cost the" Allies twice
as many men, and twice as much money as
it has cost Nicholas ; and this is taking a very
favorable view of it for them. England, if
she has not lost her army, will get it back so
cut up, and wasted, and worn, that an entire
loss would not W much more disastrous ;

ritu.t, naturally renounces the revival of any

ticularly of the treaty of Kutschuk Kainardji,
the erroneous interpretation of which has
lieen the main cause of the present war.
While they, (the Governments) extend each

of obtaining from the initiative of the Otto

Christian communities without distinction of

in the generous intentions proclaimed by His
Majesty the Sultan with reference to them,
they will take the greatest care to protect the
dignity of His Highness, and the indejien
dence of his crow n from every encroachment.
Mercantile Credit.
The following paragraph from a financial
article of the New York Herald, is worth xin
dering :
A false friend in the ordinary walks of life
is more to W dreaded than an open enemy ;
but in business, where the eredit, the creation
of a life spent iu toil and anxiety, is at stake,
a false friend may ruin any man. Everyone
engaged in mercantile pursuits is immediate
ly interested in this matter, and such precau
tions should be taken as w ill remove all from
the tender mercies of unprincipled agents.
Competition in business destroys in final!
minds that nice sense of honor so necessary to
sustain confidence, and leads men into the
practice of the meanest and most contempti
ble acts, such a thimble-rigger or pickjiocket
would indignantly repudiate. Men of com
prehensive minds take a more enlarged view
of things. They entertain no petty jealousies,
but on the contrary are at all times w illing to
aid and sustain a brother merchant, instead
of secretly plotting his downfall and miu.

Evansville Branch Bank, still lies very dan
gerously ill.
Suggestions about Poland.
In the last numWr of the North British
Review are some interesting speculations on
the condition and prospect of Ennqie. We
give an extract relating to Poland which con
tains two important ideas
1. That the Poles are incapable of form
ing a government for themselves.
1. That Austria is thinking of the resusci
tation of Poland.
We hate to entertain the thought that the
gallant Poles have so little nationality, and
are so humiliated, an not to W able to take
care of themselves, even if external pressure
was removed. And yet lmay W true.
"If," said I, "we reconstruct Poland,
what do you propose ns its limits ?'
" 4 Precisely the limits," they answered,
' such as they were Wfore the first iiartition.
All that is within that frontier still remains
Polish in recollections and feelings. You
must give them a king and a constitution;
but beware how yon consult the Poles as to
either. They w ill W acquiesced in if they
are inisised by an external force ; but we
could not ngree on them. Beware, Um how
you select a ile for our king. There is no
great family that has not far more enemies
than friends. You must give us a foreigner :
and, unless you give us back our old royal
family of Saxony, he must Wan Englishman
or a Frenchman. . We are jealous of the
Gennans, and we despise all the weaker na
tions. We should be ashamed to W govern
ed by a Spaniard, or an Italian, or a Belgian,
and not W proud of a Dutchman, or a Dane,
or a Swede ; but we would willingly takeonr
king from France or from England."
" ' I have reason to Wlieve," s iid Shanow
ski, 44 that Austria is thinking seriously of
the resuscitation of Poland. Ever since she
joined in destroying that barrier, she has felt
Russia pressing more and more heavily on
her. It is said, too, that the reconstniction of
Poland is one of the threatu hr.'.J out by Hits
sia to Prussia. It is possible thut both Aus
tria and Russia feel that their Polish. provinces
are now sources of danger and weakness, and
that either of them will make a gMiJ ex
change, if she can suWtitute for them a seji
arate kingdom, owing to her its existence, and
relying on her for supjiort. The advantage
of such a move would, of course, rest with
the sovereign that Wgan it. A quasi-inde-Indent
Poland, created by Russia out of her
own, the Prussian, and the Austrian Polish
dominions, and governed, by her nominee,
would W more valuable to her, and more
dangerous to the Gennau lowers, than even
her possession of the Principalities. Such a
kingdom created out of the s;une material,
but by Austria and Pmssia, would weaken
Russia more thau any injury that we can in
flict on her in the south."
Present Condition of the Turks.
We extract from the n umber of the Edin
Imrg lleview, Lord CarlisI.k's melancholy hut
truthful picture :
"Among the lower order of the people,
there is considerable simplicity and loyalty
of character, and a fair disposition to W obli
ging and friendly.
Among those who emerge from the mass, j
and have the opportunities of helping them
selves to the good things of the world, the ex
ceptions from thorough-paced corruption and
extortion are most rare ; and in the whole
conduct of public business and routine of of
ficial life, under much apparrent courtesy and
undeviating good breeding, a spirit of servili
ty, detraction, and vi ictiveness appears con
stantly at work. The bulk of the jeople is
incredibly uninformed and ignorant : I am
told that now they fully Wlieve that the
French and English fleets have come in the
pay of the Sultan ; and when the Austrian
sjiecial mission of Count IjCtiingen arrived in
the early part of this year, and led, by the
way, to much of what has since occurred,
they were jiersuaded that its object was to
obtain the permission of the Sultin to the
young Einjtfror to wear his crown. Upon the
state of morals, I debar myself from entering.
Perhaps the most fatal, if not the most faulty
bar to national progress, is the incredible
indolence which prevades every class
alike, from the Pascha, puffing his jierfunied
narghile iu his laticed kiosk ou the liosphorus,
to the mau in the nigged turban w ho sits cross
legged with his unadorned tehihoiique in front
of a mouldy coffee-shop iu the meanest vil
lage. In fact, the conversation of every man
whom I meet, who is well-infonned on the
state of the imputation, with very few excei
tions, might W taken down as an illustration,
often very unconsciously on their part, of the
sense usually assigned to the prediction in the
Ajsicalyjise of the w aters of the Euphrates
Wing dried up.
On the continent, in the islands, it is the
Greek' jeasant who works, and rises; the
Turk reclines, smokes his pije, and decays.
The Greek villago increases its jiopiilation,
and teems with children ; in the Turldsh vil
lage von find roofless walls and crumbling
mosques. Statesmen who do not 4J. these
matters with their ow n eyes, if tld of the
rotten stite of the Ottoman Emnire, are apt
to say, they do not at all prereive that :
this Prussian Ueneral inspected their army
the other day, and was highly pleased with its
efficiency ; this English Captain went on
board their fleet, and saw them work their
guns, and said that it could not W Wtter done
in any English ship, ihnr military
hospitals are ierfect models of arrangement
and gonl order. I Wlieve all this to W
true, and I can will conceive that in one
or two camjiaigns, on a first great outburst,
the Turks might W victorious over their Uus
sian opiioueht ; but, when vou leave the par
tial splendo-s of the capital and the great state
establishments, w hat is it vou find over broad
surface of a iand w hich nature and climate
have favored Wvond all others, once the
home of all art and all civilization ? Look
yourself ask those who live there deserted
villages, uncultivated plains banditti-haunted
mountains, torpid laws, a corrupt administra
tion, a disappearing ieople." (Pp. 18'i-184.)
The new Czar and the War.
The intelligent writer on Russian affairs in
the Xew l'tnl; lYibnue, gives us the follow
ing :
The new Czar was Wrn on the 29th of
April, 1818, and accordingly is nearly thirty
seven. If not of extraordinary abilities, he
iiossesses fair capacity and intellect. If not
gifted with the iron wilt of his father, and if
marked by a certain mildness of temper, he
has exibited more than once considerable en
ergy, lie ha a poetical and chivalrous turn
of mind, and is Russian to the core. Years
ago, he urged the use of the Russian lan
guage at Court, instead of French. As Grand
Duke, lie was always kindly to any pure, gen
uine, Russian development in literature and
jsilicy. Some ten years ago' he insisted
strongly on the propagation of the Russo
Greek creed among the Protestant Finns,
Esthonians, and other triWs forming the jea-
santry in the LUltie provinces.
It is scarcely to W supposed that he wil
make any changes among the highest digni
taries of the empire. Such things will come
by-and-by, as for some time past he has had
a small court and a knot of favorites around
him. Prominent among these is Trince Bar
yatvnskv, who List year distinguished him
self in Asia against the Turks and the Circa
sian Shamyl. This prince is a proud, haughty,
ambitious Russian. He spent a great deal o
his youth iu Vienna, and it is tiossible he may
W sent thither under some pretext to con
trol the action of the Russian legation at the
approaching conference.
Could it W admitted that the war, at the
start, had not the approval of the new Km
jieror, he will feel it necessary to prosecute it
vigorously, uuless a ieace, acceptable to uus
sia, can lie obtained. In honor of the mem
ory of his father, whom he loved devotedly,
and to w hom he looked with deep deference,
he will so act. He was always treated by the
deceased Czar with the utmost fondness al
ways as the most confidential friend, and as his
successor. ror aWut eighteen years the
Grand Duke has lieen habitually present at
Cabinet meetings, giving his opinion and shar
ing with his father the. thorny and heavy bur
ileus of absolute iower. It was the aim oi
the late. Emperor to fit his sou to sway the
Inqerial scepter, and not allow him to W
taken unawares iu his new iiosition. Alex
ander II, therefore, ascends the throne not as
a mere novice, but wholly aware of the
great task Wfore him. If so disused, he
could not fit once change the jiolicy of the
Empire. The late Czar, idolized as he was,
by tho Russian eople, will now W lookei
uiion as a kind of maitvr to the stroug an
wide coalition against him, and his suddeu
death w ill, in our view, lend fresh fuel to the
warlike flame. In this jioint of view, the
death of Nicholas creates no new proiKibihty
of jieace, nor rentiers it possible to count on
any concession to the Allies w hich he wouii
not have made.
Another probability which merits consid
oration, is that the King of Prussia, the un
cle of the new Czar, with the Pmssian (oitrt
and the officers of the army, and of course.

We take the liWrty of saying that the
following eloquent essay is from the lien of a
distinguished jurist. Kns. Skxtixf.l.
for the Indiana Slate .Sentinel.
The Bible.
At no period in our history, have party
issues of greater magnitude, divided the opin
ions or excited the passions of our jieople :
but there are questions of still whh-r and
more enduring interest iqioa which no public
journal can give forth a feeble or uncertain
sound, without Wing false to God, our coun
try, and to truth.
History has Wen compared to the lights in
the stem of a vessel, w hich only illuminate
the track over which she has passed. What
ever may W thought of the general accuracy
of this illustration, there is one point ujkhi
which all candid and intelligent men must
admit that history sheds a broad and un
changing testimony. However dubious may
W her tirades on other subjects, there is no
mistaking the lesson which sho teaches, as
to the connection Wtvveen virtue and freedom.
Coleridge never uttered a profounder truth,
than w hen lie thus moralized, in his ode on
France, written amid tho throes of her revo
lution :
03" One of the .strongest opponents of the
temjierauce bill in the Senate, was Col. Drew,
of Kvansville. The Journal, of that city,
says lie has Wen for years a retailer of opini
ons liquors. Prese.
Colonel Drew did oppose the Temperance
Piill in the Senate, but he is in ne wise en
gaged in the li.pior business in Kvansville or
any other place. This is oue of the monies
adopted by an irresponsible press of manu
facturing opinion and injuring men. Drool

"The Sensual and the Dark rebel in vain.

Of Freedom, graven on a heavier chain '."
The friends of the P.ible may claim as natu
ral allies, all to whom tho interests of liWrty,
learning or virtue are dear, all the statesmen
and scholars, the patriots and philanthropists
of the land. All the study and experience
of the wise and good mast increase their
sense of the value of the Bible ; a volume
which comes recommended to them by all
that is aw ful in authority, venerable in wis
dom, or touching in goodness; a volume
which embraces infinite Wing within the
range of its truths, and liours through every
department of life the streams of its consola
tions; a volume which, replete with the pre
cepts of morality and the lessons of wisdom,
has every where invigorated the energies,
ennobled the feelings, and elevated the pur
suits of man ; which increasing the sources
of individual happiness, quickening the pulse
of social life, and strengthening the founda
tions of national security, has extended its
fostering care to every institution ou which
the hojies of humanity rejose; which like
the alchemy of Medea that caused the dry
and Wrren earth to gleam with the verdure
and flowers of spring, has reclaimed society
from ignorance, sujierstitiou and crime, and by
its influence upon the refinement of manners,
the amelioration of law, the correction of
practical errors in government, the purity,
dignity and Wauty of literature, and the gene
ral progress of truth, has immeasurably en
hanced the grace, comfort and glory of human
life.
One of the most obvious Wnefits resulting
from the circulation of the Bible, is the
amount of useful knowledge which it difl'uses
throughout the community. It is not pre
tended that the Bible furnishes that practical
information concerning the laws, and institu
tions of the country which is necessary to
qualify the citizen for the discharge of his
civil duties.
But if the Bible does not in itself furnish a
system of jsipular education, it is ieculiarly
fitted to fonn the Wst introduction to one.
How often has the infant prattle Wen hushed
by its bim;le eloquence and natural 'lathos ?
Thus, while its grander theme require the
highest exercises of reflection, it imparts a
variety of pleasing knowledge level to the
meanest capacity, and by exciting the feelings
and stimulating the thinking faculties, gradu
ally unfolds the lowers of the mind. The
Old Testament is a national literature in
itself. It coiiiviiiis every f.irm of comrrfisition
which has Wen vivified by the breath of
genius. The jiower of imagination, splendor
of language, tenderness of sentiment, and
eleganee of imagery which distinguish its
Poetry, have made it the favorite study of
scholors, the most distinguished for their taste
and genius. How strikingly Want i fill h that
Parallism, jieeuliar to Hebrew Literature!
"Its amplifications of a given thought are I incouijs'tent
like the echoes of a solemn melody ; its repe- (
tition of it like the landscape reflected in the
stream. In thus repealing the same idea in
different words, the Hebrew muse seems asi
if displaying a fine Ojal in which we discover
fresli Wauties in every new light to which it
is turned." Take up its ProverW and Max
ims, and who can help admiring their original
and practical thought ; their airy sarcasm and
caustic satire, their felicitous phrase and sen
tentious w isdom. They are replete w ith w it,
learing and genius. Iok at its hitory, and
we find it free from the frivolous anecdote,
the absurd fable, the vulgar superstition
which tligust us, in other comjiositions of a
nide age. Its narrative is as minute as the
chronicles of Froissabt, as jioetic as the staves
of an old ballad, and luminous on every page
with the presence of God, and the designs of
his Providence. There is no other history so
unaffected, yet so full of dignity, so rich in
Ioetry, yet so simple in style, so affecting iu
its pathetic recitals, yet so vivid and powerful
in its grand and terrific scenes.
There is one striking fact connected with
the composition of the Bible, which im
presses tijion it, a character peculiar to itself.
It is a boik which some forty writers, fioeis,
prophets, kings, judges, statesmen and he
roes of every degree of cultivation, and in
every stage of society, liviug through the
course of fifteen centuries, and distributed
over the ancient world, from the idolatrous
banks of Che bar to metropolitan Home, have
concurred to make.
and exjierience would furnish, but leaves him
to discipline his faculties by weaving out of
the material thus collected, his own intellec
leetnal garniture.
The Bible also contaius a code of morals,
the most perfect iu theory and ojierative in
practice which has Wen ever discovered.
History teaches no truth with more startling
distictness, thau the necessity of an authorita
tive system of morals to the pcrtietiiity of
government. Sociey cannot exist except in a
savage state, without the cohesive jiower of
religion. Why did the ancient republic
melt, like the icicle even in the rav iu which
they glittered ? The deliasement ol the
ancient spirit was not only owing to the lux
uriotii habits which followed foreign con
quest but to those advances in knowledge and
phylosophy, w hich reduced the national reli
gion to a shadow and thus robWd it of its
authority, over the conscience. The Bible
excels all other systems both in the purity of
its precepts and the sanctions which attend
them. It not only commends " whatever is
honest, just, true, lovely and of good report,"
but it siicaks iu the tone of authority, and
with the voice of lawgiver. ( It commands
attention by the majesty of its claims, and
enforces oWdinence by the rewards w hich it
promises to virtue, aud retributions which it
assures us, will follow vice.
Kven the sceptic w ho denies the validity
of its claims, acknowledges it precepts to W
worthy of a God. Kxamine fora moment,
the ten commandments. It can W shown
by the testimony of profane historians, that
theDecalogue must have Wen delivered to the
Isrealites, nine hundred vears Wfore any of
f w
the early systems of morals, such that of
Confucius or Zaheucus or Pvthogora were
published. Aud yet the contrast Wtween the
Decalogues and these early philosophies is as
great as that Wtween the 6tin, and the broken
and glimmering fragments of his glorious
image that are reflected in the running stream.
The Decalogue Avas not only in immeasurable
advance of the age in which it was delivered,
but it still remains after the lapse of more
than three thousand years, a faultless and un
approachable model of excellence, so simple
that the most unlettered can understand it, so
concise that the most stupid can rememWr
it, so comprehensive that human wisdom can
not add another precept to its code of
duty, so practical thaj it comes home to the
business and bosoms of men, in every rela
tion of life, and under every form of society,
so ptire that the criticism of all time has Wn
unable to detect in it, any alloy of human pre
judice, or passion.
But the Bible has contributed most largely
to the amelioration of society, by the dignity
and grandeur w ith which itsrevelationn have
invested human nature. Intellectual illumin
ation, moral reconstniction, civil, social and
religious freedom are seen to W proper and
necessary means of making secure his title to
a bright reversion in the sky. It is to the
Bible that we owe our free institutions. It is
the concurring testimony of all historians
that English liWrty was born in religious ex
citement ; the great struggle in w hich the op
pressive prerogatives of the crown were re
stricted, and the rights of Englishmen unal
terably established, was emphatically a reli
gious struggle. At the birth of Christ, there
was not in the whole Roman empire, a single
Wnevolent society. Human nature wasted
its tttitire energies in a selfish pursuit of wealth
powtr or pleasure. That event introduced a
eligion which, (iu the language of one of its
eloquent champions) proclaimed to its follow
ers, that whilst the passion some might W to
shine, of some to govern, and of others to
accumulate, one great jiassion should alone
inflame their breasls, a tassion which reason
ratifies, which conscience approves, which
heaven inspires of Wing and doing good.
Under the train of ameliorating influences
this awakened, the institution of marriage
with all the sweet charities that nestle iu its
Wsom has Wen rendered sacred, the fetters of
slavery have Wen broken or lightened, the
horrors of war mitigated, the restraints of law
imjiosed upon rulers, the administration of
justice temjiered with mercy, and all the arts
which relieve the distress, multiply the com
forts, refine the pleasures, and ennoble the
duties of man, w armed into life.

In LiveriMKil the times have lieen lK'cnliar-
ly severe, in consequence of the frost having
stopped the extensive building works, and
from the continuance of easterly winds having
revented the arrival of American shipping.
The absence of shipping, alone, deprived
nearly o,(XMdock laborers and jorters of work,
and of all descriptions of laWrers there wer
not fewer than 18,rt") men destitute of em
ployment. Considering the tuiinWr of help
less women and children dendent on these
men, this presents a terrible amount of suffer
ing. Our corressindeiit descriWs it as piti
able to see hundreds of jxr fellow s idling
around the Exchange, in hojies of obtaining a
"chance job." Considerable liWrality has
Wen displayed by the citizens, and about 3,
(M were subscribed. Belief stores were opened
in various parts of the tow n, and tickets en
titling the Warcr to bread and coals w ere free
ly distributed. The conduct of the unem
ployed was, almost w ithout exception, in-ace-able
and praiseworthy, although want w:isso
gre it that instances had occurred where men
actually Inintcd from hunger, and fell on the
street. Ihe bulk of these really industrious
classes lmre up bravely, in the hojie of an ear-
lv return to lalior. However, on 1 uesdav.
the iith, great agitation was observable in
the Scotland Road, one of the lowest and
mist disreputable nuarters of the town. Rr
degrees the excitement swelled into the di
mensions of a riot. Bands of the discontent
ed marched out into various jirts of the town
ami caused the greatest consternation to the
citizens. The stores along the princijil thor
oughfares Avere immediately closed the jew
ellers and silversmiths first, next the cutlers
and gunsmiths, and finally the entire trade of
the town, was suspended. These liands of
marauders varied m umWr from i to 1,U( ,
lmt contained a considerable proportion of wo
men and lads. They seemed to have no sort
of organization, nor any definite object iu
view. At first they rushed tumulttiously into
the linkers' shops, twenty or thirty of w hich
were stormed and plundered. They also de
manded, anil received, money from various
other storekeepers. An attack was made on
St. John's market, but tho gates were closed
and the poHce WatotTthc Wsieger. Towards
evening the town resumed itsmonted appear
ance. An extra force of sjiecial constables
were sworn in, and a numlier of the ordinary
jmlice were armed and mounted. Sixty pris
oners were taken, and were summarily sen
tenced by the police courts to terms of hard
lalmr varying from a week to three months.
Xext day, Wednesday theiMst, the distur
bances were resumed. The same scenes
again occurred, the provision shojvs were at
tacked ; the iilice made successful skirmish
es, and captured many of the rioters. The
stores were closed during iwrl of the day, but
from the rejiort of our corresjiondeiit, who
took occasion jiersonally to witness the riots,
this w as a precaution quite unnecessary. The
jiolice were at all times more than a match for
the moli. Since the 21st, all had remained
jierfectly quiet.
Similar disturliances, but on a smaller scale,
took place in London. Bands of men and
boys levied contributions on the storekeepers,
till the interference of the police stopped the
enterprise.
The report from Manchester is less unfavor
able than from Liverjool, but it shown dis

and the workmen, dependent on traffic, were
comiielted to apply to the workhouse. Some
hundred railway portent had Wen discharged,
from lack of work. The mills are Wginning
to work on "short time."
At Birmingham the state of the oor is
very distressing. Xine thousand workmen
are out of employment in the town of Birm
ingham alone, and a prosutionate uumWr in
the neighlioring jarishes. Xotice has Wen
given to the ironworkers that a reduction of
wages can W no longer delayed. XumWre of
the needle-makers of Redditch are without

The detention of the Pacific enables us to

we do not lose the hope of obtaining the re

so precious for the w hole of Christianity.

General Wool in the State Legisla
ture.. We are tejoieed to see this much Wloied
and W: i e old veteran among its. lie looks
as well, after finly years of toil iu the service
of his country, as any civiliau of his ae could
after a lifetime sjient among the scenes if
priv: te life. In looking at his quiet Waring
and Wnevolent face, one ran hardly think it
jiossible that he has jiasttetl through h man v
of the exciting incidents that mark and add
lirilliancy to the pages of our country' hit
ry, fdnce his first entry iuto the service.
Gen. Wool' administration of the military
command of this dejrtment has Wenexem
jlary and highly Kitisfactory to our people,
and no matter what his enemies and prosecu
tors may say he has won for himself the jci
found resjiect and affection of the people of
California. On yesterday, Mr. McFarland
announced that Gen. John E. Wool waoua
visit to the cajiit.il, and moved the apjxiint
ment of a committee of two to wait upon him,
and invite him iqwin the floor of the Senate.
The motion jrevaied unanimously.
The President aj-jxiinted Messrs. McFar
land and Keene as said committee. They re
tired from the Senate chamWr, and returned
in a short time, with Gen. Wool escorted W
tw een them.
Mr. McFarland then announced the jires
ence of Gen. Wool at the br," whereupon the
fact was rejeated to the President, and the
Senators arose to their feet. The committee,
advanced with Gen. Wool towards the Presi
dent's desk, whuii that officer declared the
Senate to W in receas for the jieriod of tw enty
minutes. A recess was accordingly taken,
and Senators gathered around the venerable
veteran to give him their cordial jerjonal
greetings.
Mr. Arlington offered a resolutiou in the
same effect in the Assembly, and the siieaker
ajtjioiuted Messrs, Arriugton, Floumey and
Kinney as said committee, who retired, aud
jwesently returned, escorting him to the floor
of the Assembly chamWr, w here he receied
the same flattering welcome and rej-ectful
greetings as in the Senate hall.

A corresjindent of the Maiysville tliprts,
w riting from the scene of the tragedy, rejmrw
that on the i'th of Fell, a terril.le conflict U.k
place Wtween two forties of miners, at a
place called the Sand Hill, or TimWctoo,
near Park's Wr, on the main Yuba. The
facts are related as follow s :
A company of men, headed lv Messrs.
Welister and Auderson, ow ned a mining claim
in the ravine at this lace, but were working
in the hill near by. While tho em jJoy-l,
several men from Park" bar came uji, and a
no one was at work iu the claim, or had Wen
for some time, jiroccedeJ to pW-e their sluice
boxes and jirejiare for work, claiming that the
ground was ojien to any one who saw fit to
work it. On hearing of this, WeWter, Ander
son & Co., went and wanted them to desist
and leave the claim, as it was their jM-rty
and they should work it as soon as there was
sufficient w ater.
The Parks' B;ir Party rej.lie.l, that they
( We Wter, Anders m Sc Co.) had forfeited their
claim to the ground, and exjiressed their de
termination to hold the claim and work it, at
all hazards. Yesterday, however, Welster,
Anderson V Co. armed themselves, ruid re-
turned to defend their claim. Hacli artv was
! seven or fight strong, well armed, and eettiet
icady for hostilities, rrom angry words, a
blow from the butt of a jiistol jsissed, which
knocked one man down, w herMijoii tmt h thir
ties commenced to fire. The alann was im
mediately given and the citizen rushed to
the scene, Wt too late toj-evenl fatal results.
Welister was shot dead, a ball havinj jiass sl
through his heart ; Anders.ui was shot thro'
the head, and yet lie lived two hour, although
his brains were oozing out; a Mr. Rice was
shot in the Weast, and Was thought to W dy
ing at last accounts. Anderson was known
by the tiaioe of u Kenttn k ;" he lea es a fam
ily in" Paducah, Ky.; he was aUmt thirty-live
years old. II bore a good (harscler among
his acquaintance. WeWter was from Con

age. lie has a Icother iu r-gnu. Kiv is from
Washington, Maine, aged twenty-fiie years,
lie was a ailner of VYcWter and Anderson."
