Chilton nd Gordon. From their report we take a
few facta;if direct bearing apon the subject and i"$
tended to support the object which they hbhe 'inrsm
tldgreeatihitauirg,,. -
Th: e r. id0' enaces'by' stating that 'i 'emi
nently desirble there sliould l e a syste tic and
tho.pugh survey of the State territory in reference to
its I"tineral and agricultarnl resources, its botaniiel i
hnd o.oIegico rfductions, and its sanitary apditions
and calcbl , Almost all the other States, old and
new, have oready done, this and are proffting froi
tionwledget ~ f 1 esources thus obtained. The o
iegislature ofatflu State, ip .1841, appointed rcolm
rhittee to look into the resbility of such a pirceed- tl
ing . ad there the whdTffetter ended, exepting
some- neursorilmnvestigaton which have siiif t'been I
sto It is inferred that this State offers no gryat di
ity of gelogin ~ f rtnitios, being fOq the. most
tanTexhibits tertioy gad perhapsl secondary'forna
neans but the greaterart" is-tluval, washed down t
:Tlre gre.soe-tb soiosppos that many aiefut metals
.no.- ea.ls a bound in different parts of the State,
pit not yet iiscovered in ay quaugity. Gyp
m; lhfabe'in the rts, in building ;:cement, I
and as a manio. O.Panima salt, whoG t ? .neei.lly
associated.with gyisum ; lignite, a coal-of a
more eecegt formation than the anthtietio and bitu
minos--and stone coal, are all supposed to. belong
to the State. We have numberless beds of shell
marlt, and it is supposed there are nmarsh-beds, rich
inphbsphates, or potassa, two very important ingre
dients of a good soil for producing cereal and fruits.
If they should be discovered,.the expenses of a sur
vey would be repaid a thousanid times over to the
State, andt every section of it; and, even if they
;l5O., notta correct analysis of the nature and'com
poilsbo_of the varionus ualities of soil, and their
diffgtent adaptabilities, is very mportant and useful.
Incidentally, surovey like the one proposed, i.eold
bring to light`mtmnh valuable iiformaation respecting
our topography and hydrography, thus giving a
world f valuable information as to the best means of
preveiittfg crevasaes; and if a geological and miner
alegceal sboarey should be prosecuted, in connection
with'the topographical and hydrogmaphical one, a
great amount of practical knowledge of the first im
portance would resoult.
The committee suggests that an investigation into
the potable and mineral qualities of allour indige
no0s. watet's should also be prosecute ; including
the lakes, bayous, rivers, creeks, lagoons, wells and
springs, which; as the waters Of the State are sup
posed'tobe highly hygienic and curative, would am
'ply repay an analysis. The plan, it is suggested,
should elabrace a colleqtion of complete sets of our
rocks, minerals, salids, clays, marls, variety of soil
and samplespof water, accompanied with labels, de
tailing where they are found, and stating the merits
they poaaesos., The flora and fauna of tihe State-ii
cluding its weeds, grasses, herbs, floeaers, mosses, in
sects, reptiles, fishes, birds and quadrsipeds--slould
accompany tihe suivey, tUd would be very useful, as
well as interestingt; and might lead to a reduction of
those which are injurious to the crops. It is thought,
too, that superior native grasses, for making bay,
would be among the discoveries.
In order to cairrythis measure forward, an ammial
approlp.ition of ten or fifteen thlousad dollars, it is
thought, would, be sufficient; and the results would,
indirectly, more than repay the cost.
The Academy suggests that the sanitary condition
of. the State should beexplored at the same-time
lttlh its agricultthal, botanical and gdological churac
tr; and that a registration of births, deaths and mar
dragh, as recommended to- the Legislature in 1852,
should be compelled by law. The establishnecnt of
meteorological stations in several parts of the State I 1
end a central biureau in this city, to regulate and cor
respond with the others, is also urged.
With regard to a geological survey of the State,
there can be no doubt that the advantages accruing
therefrom would more than repay the cost. " An an-
nual outlay of ten or fifteen thousand dolla's, exclu
sive of the cost of printing an annual report of the
progress," is a very liberal estimate of the expense,
lhowever. The State of New IItempshire was veryI
carefully examined, geographically, geologically, min
erologicaly and. otherwise, and a volume of reports
printed at a cost, including the whole, of less than six
thousand dollars, by Dr. Jackson. The State of New
York, also, .published four or six volumes, as large and
almost as mhinte as those of England, for less than
sixteen thousand dollars,, and Massachusetts did tie
same for twelve thouisand dollars. We are heartilyin
'fvyer of-the plan. It would do tbr us that which can
be done by no other means. It would write down'the
history and give the characterof every parish ; would
tell planters to what their attention should be turned
and how; would explain the best methods of increas
ing present crolis, and point out others of equal value ;
would show a great many improvements and be valu
able to alhost every individual. If the State will
securee the services of a competent geologist, as it may,
at a salary of four thousand dollars per annum, with
such assistance as lie deems requisite, a geological
survey would be one of the best things that legisla
tioe could insure.

Palnmertol.'s thlilosoophy.,
One of the most singular and siggmv. things
that have occurred to us, in lookingh r Oe tele
gaiphli reports of the onews from Edf it by
the last steamer, is the ainnounacni otaincd
therein of Lord Palmerston's defeae hAi e er- h
ment in its conclusion not to precipitate a far with
this country.
tord Palmenston, ever since the period, wi lo ng
past, when he first entered tho fritish Parliameit
and took his place among the agals .o telros of r
ibat oistingualshed body, has'heon remarkil for tit
oc gp itability and great readiness to plaunge
-intt imth any power, at any time and under any I
tlrc n 4tf he had had his own way, unbridled I
by'.se cooter judgments of other statesnen, Great'
Bdtfia',otfold, singe his star has been in the aCd-I
ant, havisraged Rar with every first-rate tlift in
tha univeroe, and have been embroiled now more
deelpy byfar than she was during the complicatiois I
Napoleon's career. There has been no subject too
grave, no interest too slight, no occasion too inoppor
tone for him to advocate the shutting up of Janus
aod a speedy resort to thrb last, final arbitrament of
Kings. The motives whicl have induced his lordship
to such a course wer imdoubtedly, in a great degree,
constitutional, and were fostered to their out-growth
}14 that British sense of superiority and feeling of
iational pridewhich has moie than once led her to
throw the gauntlet into thte worio's face-rarely cotn
ing off withouit some degreb of success: never with
outthe merit of having well devised her previous
plans of procedure and her final prosecution of them.
SFor once, however, the sagacity and prudence of a
man, whose fiery courage no one will deny, has led to
such considerate and peaceful steps upon a subject
which might, very readily, afford subject-matter suffi
cient for hostilities, as well deserves notice. Inasmauch
as this moderation nild study of consequences cannot
and-will not be attributed, by any one conversant
with Lord Palmerston's previous career; either to
timidity or apprehension of consequences, it must be
referred to that prudent and statesmanlike wcighhing
of all the possibilities and probabilities of the case,
all the benefits that could arise from a war, and all
the injuries that would inevitably occur to both coun
tries, wit no compensating benefit.s for its lrosecu
tion that a statesmanr of large experience and broad
views would most naturally think of. Lord Palmers
ton sees that if the conmmerce of our.country is crip
pled, the cotton crop will remain at home ; that if
raw-cotton is not exported from here, manufictaured
cotton cannot tie produced in England; that the int
mense factories of Manchester, Birmingham, and other
cities of a simoilar character, will be stopped ; that la
bor of all kiods diill be depressed still farther, when
its profits now are hardly more than sufficient to es-s
thin life ; that the commerce which at present sweeps
every sea under the protection of the British flag, will
be crippled and curtailed by American elippers and
those privateers which, during the war of the Revo
lution, swept thlrough the British channel and carried
destruction and devastation along the shores of Scot
land, England and Ireland.
It is true that, now, the disparity formerly existing
between the Americant and English commercial ma
rine is ended, and our sails whiten the waters as nu
merously na those of the mother country; conseo
quenitly the advantage which there was in the revo
iution and during the war of 1812, favoring us so

suffer from a great " contest as we never before souf
fered. But, if we have increased in that material
which may be struck at, we have proportionably in-I
creased in that by which we may strike. We are
Smore polpulous, more concentrated and more scien
tific. We can cast a thousand Paixhaus, when before
there was difcficlty in moulding a twenty-four pounder.
Our arsenals are well supplied with weapons of all
kinds, and our citizens are aequainted with their use.
These suggestions, wrhich must occur to every one in
considering allthe points of an American and Eng
lish .ar, ,how the dangers that would attend it and
the losses that would render it more destructive ini
one year to the interests of the world, than the Ruis
sian war has been during its long continuance. That
all of these considerations should be properly weighed
by both countries, was certainly demandedlby the hiogh
national interests committed to their keeping ; but l
that a man like Pahnerston, whose whole career has
been explosive and aggressive beyond precedents,
-hould be the man to initiate the polliy and pursue
it, is no le-s strange than pleasing.
Confident as we are of the co-operation of the
Manchester school of politicians in any peaceful con- -
sideo-tions and movements that may be advocated by
Gi (overnment ; of the aid of Cobden and Bright in
having the olive suplplant the thistle ; tlheroe can he no
doubt that a peaceful and speedy solution will solve
thle difficulty that has so blac-kened the horizon with
onminons portents ; and that we shall hereafter hear
of no contest ulore deadly than that mercantile one,
wvhich for years has been benefitting and prospering
both nations.

We are indebted to the Ilon. C. T. Estlin, for the
fourth Annual Replort of the Lousiana Institution for
the Deafl, Dlumb and Blind, prtenited to the General
Assembly of the State of Louisana. It it prepared by
Andrew S. Herron, President of the Board of t'dmin
istrators, and contains a large amount of very valuable
infuormation. We are compelled to abridge tilhe con
tents and give our readers a general reslnoe :
The institution, of which this is the fourth annual
report, is stated to hlavo been in a highly prosperous
condition during the year past. The number of
lpupils has increased. Maote pupils have been taught
to read and underattand books, to write comnpositions
and letters to their friendr, in tile space of two or I
three years; and some are almost prepared to leave
school. The lnumlber of pupils has not been equal to I
the applications. oWant of accommodation has
caused this inconvenience ; and, in tile enldeavor to
gratify as many ais possible, the tenements have been
disagreeably crowded. Tile buildiigo, at lre.ent in 0
conuse of erection, are very substantial, and there is a:
fair prospect that many additional pupils may shortly a
lie received. Tile colnnittee otate that, as they receive
no reward for their services, they cana only be sup
posed to be animated bly tile saome imnlpuloe that are
felt by all good citizer.s. The labor of citizens.of urI
ownl State has been alnlot exorluo-ively employed,
thereby accomrplishing two great Ihnetits ait once.
Tie present exigencies of tile Institution rellti!e
an appropriation of $40,0a00 for building purposes,
and tile same alnounrt will be needed for the support
of the lustitation tile ensuinrg ycar thit was appropria
ted the piat, even with the most rigid economy,
Although during tile pait three years the pupiils havee
increased tothree-lldl their original number, the ex
pernse have not advanced ill te same ratio.
Tile health of the puplilos habeen excellet during
tihe year-not a silgle death, lor even a severe attack
of sickness, having oceorered during the session. Te i
careful dict auI l exercise n-ed, and with them the
able medical attendauce engaged,are creditors for this
result. The expenditures of tile Institution, part of
which was for labor and buildinig material, that can
be sutlmmed within tile general stock and l'ermanent
fiend, amounted to $5.4.763: 44. Tile total numbner of
a pupils was ifrty, of whom precisely one-half were
manle ; and twelve were fron thile Parish of Orleanls.
The rules for tile admission of pupils are applended
to tile report, by which we see that all tile deaf and
duimb of the State, between the ages of ten and thirty
years, and aill the blind between the ages of eightand
twenty-five, are entitled to an education free of charge,
for board and tuition, in the institution. Those dt"
sirous of placing a rpupil in tile inrtitution should
write to o the lenerrl Superintendent, informing hiln
of tile nae, age ae and esidence of the mute or blind
applicant, and tihe cause thereof, if any is klnown.
Pupils froam other otates will be admitted for one hun
dred and lifty doihirs per annum. The length of
study enlbrces about csevenr years. The annual ses
sions conutenoe on thle Wednesday following the
Iath of Sovemrber, and close oil the Wednesday fal
lowing the 15th of Auguot. No sectarian education
is given in religion, nor are politics embraced in the
course. Tile governlent is that of a werlregi- lated
family. The location is one of unrnrpassned hlealthi
nevs and salubrity.
All businecs letters or letters of inquiry should be
addressed to James S. Brown, General Superintcnd
ent Inrtitution for alutes and Blind, Baton Rouge,
Louisiana.
We have no space at present to do more thian make
this general reference to the results of the Institution
for the year past, but may refer to it and others of
our eleemonynary institutions at some future time,

Nicaraguan Correspondence.
[FROM OCR. nPa EIAL COsRESPOr D ENTa.]
Garsn.sa, Feb. 25, 1056.
Editors Crescent-.The saying that " every day
brings something new," holds as good in this country
as any other; for we have our little episodes in life
here as welL as elsewhere. After I had closed my 1a
last letter to "you, previous to the sailing of the
steismerl learned the whole secret of Col. Kinney's I
misseroa re and its result. It seems that lic euter
taioed the idea that Gel. Waltker swas a corrupt and a
venial as any " old liner" that could be found among I'
the debris uftparties in the States, and presumed that
lie wohld only have to propose something that he
mtght imagine would be alike beneficial to both, in
byder to see Walker'snap at it greedily. Heaee after
.anding, and before arrangsing his toilet,-he hurried
to the GeneraFls quarters on the Plaza and introduced
mot summarily.- Gen. Walker was neither
startled, astonished nor dumfomnded, not even iii
verted for ar instant from the perusal of the dis
patches just arrived' by thie Leon Courrier, which
did'nt report war and rebellion. So cool and .easy I
wasWaldker that Kinney was a little disconcerted
himself,arid, after a feWv unimportant and common
place realrks, he~ wthdrew, proposing to renew the
interview later in the day. This last intorvierowas
laid; and hoaw Kinaey proposed and how Walker
" disposed,"ais all very correctly detailed in the 5Nica
raglrense of the 15th.
Colt Kinney must have entertained but a poor opin
ion of the mani whom the people of Nicaragua have
placed at the head of their military aflhirs, or he
would never have thought of proposing to divide
the State with him, or of making any advance of a
scheme that would hi ainy way comnpromise its honor
or sovereignty.
I eied not enlarge further upon this than merely to
repeat that Gen. Walker looks steadily forward to the
path'that leads the State of Nicaraigua up to a posi
tion of prosperity and greatness second to no other
country of equal size, and those who seek in the pas-
iafg hour a momentary advantage from compromise,
or acts of most doubtfurl merit, to attain their ends,
must find an ally in sonime one else than him. Hardly
had Kinney left for the State' naid the lpublic mnind
once more settled down, when another bob-sliell
exploded in our midst, anid ith the clearing away of
the smoke and fire, we saw the Transit Company
laying in a confused mas of ruins.
A decree had strlek its rotten, swindling but tower
ing proportions, and it fell like a mountain of sand,
burying no one, nor injuring any but those who were
making use of it at the time for their own individual
interests. Tlli Company has been playing a bad
game for a long time, and the Government has pirtan
end to its wicked swindling and impositions. The
State hits been the scene wherein its acts have rillen
ed into bloodly and merciless wars and revolstions. It
has boldly attempted from time to time to get the
State entirely within its grasp, and then use it for
schemes of aggrandizement that' would be erecated
and spurned in any communlity in the world. This
Government has got rid of it now, annulled itss char
ter, seized its boats and property, whicih they will
hold until indemnilied for the rights granted to and
exercised by the Company, and until another Com
pany is formed that will pay some respect to tihe
State and some attention to the wants of those who
desire to emigrate to this IRepnilic. EImihgration now
is what we need and must have; but it has been tire
policy of the old Company to discourage and at times
to utterly prohibit it, and it only required a man of
nerve at the head of Governlent to put an enda tothe
Compmry's further tampering with its dearscct right-s
and interests.
I can now report uponr the mines in Clio:!rle<. rhav
ing had occular proof of what I say. Gold and silver
are there in great abundance, ten dollars per diem be
ing about the average for one man properly armed
and equipped for labor. Those who desire to come to
work in the mines of Chontales and eSegovia, may do
so with a certeinty of gaining rich rewards for their
toil and skill. Several parties are fitting out here to
go up t Ro Miceo, about sixty miles friom this city,
each taking " rockers " and " tones " fhr the purpose
of washing for fine r fne or coarse gld, as both are found
in great plenty. Let every lonie tiring a little money
to lit out with ; fsr everyth:ng like iron or steel is
Svery dear in this country. Illact all who cmne sIhuld
bring pick, bars and shovels along. A ,ar.o 'f tin
,ware would sell in this city at exsraierediary prl cs
Sinow. Will not some one luring oult a lolt of tin-pan.,
dippers, buckets and utensils for cooking ? Lubenhcr,
too, is awful scarce I have had to get u relni-ition
from the Master of Ordnance lfir two old rifle boxes
I to make a washer and tone for the Comlnpany under
Smy charge. In tlreregions of the mlilles meat and poo
visions are readily obtaiured, lbut tools to work withd
are notto be had. Tile hearltlh of the city is very go,-d
now, but there are cases of deaths from cholera every
day. This is as frequent alaonll thle nlatives as those
from tile States, and fruit is the cause of the largecst
share of it. Telmleriance nlmst be practiced here if
one would ie healthy. Let this be remeulbered by all
who come to Nicaragua. L.tI:.AiYs-E.
Slngrrglr O lmsioun ,
In the lat Baton Rouge (azette received by us, d we
find the following significant paragraph:

We have never known a Democratic Convyellnu t,

This is a subject that hai,been treated by all who
ever wielded the grey-goose quill. Then why
inay'l not relate to you ia conversation, with a very
handsome cousin of oinle, of tie gernus nascut'inum.
BeingB,as I said belire; quite hand'ome, he is natur
a great favorite with the softer sex-and has
to discourse very eloquently, upon Love
mighty, and all powerful Love. It is a subject of
which he never tires, and I really do believe he has
memorized all the poetical ravings and rantings that
have ever been indited upon it, I itsrr me I shall rnot
do him justice in the rehearsal
" Now, Creasie, can I never convert you to mey be
lief in tle master passion. I know that poets have
raved and sages sang, its praises; that old maids and
misantlthropes have sadly abused it, butyou,certainly,
will agree with me, that life's brimming clip, without
that.glowing spice, would be vastly ilnsipid. Love
has wrouvht some of the world's greatest revolu
tions-lms nerved man to great deeds, and fitted
womau:for stern duties ; viewed in all its phases, it is
the most glorious boon granted by rinad Heaven to
man. It expels the grossness of on .nature and
gilds and refines the native ore. Petrarech asserts,
that it is the crowning grace of humanity-the holiest
right of the soul-the golden link which binds us to
trutlhand duty. Coriege describes Love as the ab
sorption of self, in an idea dearer than self-iand is it
not sot do we not find in the idol of our th oughits a
something more dear than self--where we love truly,
will we not freely sacriflce ?
Look at a mother'slove-whatso i)ure, so constant ?
Nothing daunts, nrothing chills it--nothing canl wean
it from her child: Neglect, ingratitude, or, ignominy
cannot tear it from her beart. A sister's love, kind
and gentle, ever gleaming round our path-and more
than all, a wife's love. What will it not enable her
to do? She never forsakes, though distress, penury
and ill fime cluster round. Hier soft voice and charm
ing smile are ever ready to lighten the dear one's
path o' r the drear morass of life-willing alike in
joy or sorrow to share Iris fite.
Womanr s love, Cressie, is more pure and disinter
ested than man's. She will more freely resign all fir
the loved one. For him she will give up the friends
of yutlh, parents, childhood's hime with all its
-haunts oftpleasure, and bidding adieu to all, go out
into ithe wide world, clinging to him as tle drooping
vine to the forest tree, and trusting with child-like
faith in his truth and worth.
Life without love would indeed be a weary desert.
without one oasis to cheer the way-worn traveler
and we world eagerly hasten on to tile grave and
seek that rest and relief denied us, but whlichwe now
find inl or heart's cho-en-for, in the hour of trouble
the thought tof the dear ones still left us, quickly
brings consolation to our hearts, and in sicness we
tirna to the hand that, Iromupted by affection. laves
or pallid brow alrd holds tile cooling draught to our
parlched lips.
And Love work, miraries, Cres.ie dear; flrit orpens
the nider's heart, soothes the milsanthrpl esofl'tens the
hardened riuflan, calons the turbulent, cheers tile le
sprndent and gives peace to the temipest-tossed. It
is nan's giald star while treading the intricate path
of life. Thie home spell forged by Love will still !irr
igr rounid hilr, warder where h ore iy :the thought
of home, that kingdom of the heart. bears lrim spi
amid the trials that await tile 'i.otsteps of all of
Adamni' il'lrn rlace.
Why will you be so ftseotos, Cressie? there rmu-t
be truh in Lovre, cousin mineie or hw acraount for tlhe
,tringe freaks we sometime. see? A mild. gentle
woman follrou'ing with ilving glances and w\illlinlr
words srme great brotal fcllow wh'o can no more ap

a-daisical women who have nought th attract saveI

opi oites-the weak attracts the l:rwerfu!-beauty
and r genenencs are tl;adstones to talent and rinrd, and
I fear thart we will sometimeos fid virtule and worth
united to vice and depravity.
Love is sometimes counterftiv'y by his twi ie-t r,
P I'ion ; but how soon ian w ie detect the lciheat? P,r
Love "aincorrptille, and will purify all with which
it i s brought into cotact, and it is over -sari
