THURDAY:::A::::Y 1T.: Tao Le say a tw. morrow is the last dy, allowed by law for 8herifs teaske their lal settlewt as tax colletors. As they are still coaing in, we cannot say what number will fall short; but do not think it far short the mark to say, thrl felly one half will have to Ibe publish O dNemlt under the law. This is unpleasant and mortifying to them; but in view of the faoot that it is not their fanlt, the publio will look paon the publieatin with the eye of charity. The wonderful and rapid deprNeses of the money market, and the ia. bility to obtain money on the drafts of Planters, sad the aooeptances of tihe best merchants in New Orleans is the easse of it. Tn AUmoab E.Low.--A fine speimen of this noble bird was kil. led a few days ago, on the Netal bny IUver, a mile or two above Sprigfield. Whilst in the act of eatg a deck he bad just stricken dow, he was dot by Mr. Beaton ase, The eage measured six feet and a half froe tip to tip. It is al most a piq, for more sport, thus to kill our matIsol bird, just at the smoment wheb most we want his celetial protection I So says the SpringSeld (Livings. ton Parish La., Reperer.) With him we lament thei oul murder, of the noble bird,eust, that Mr. OaNos, may have the credit of killing him. Reporter, should this reach you is time, call a meeting of Ornitbolo gists, sad determine rst, that the bird, is not a beard. The ques tion settled--stut him, pickle him, preserve him, for future reference. The time may come when the "Free State" will not only be so in name, but aela satire. She may take a no tios to quit tae Union, whes Lou isiana getS mad and e*ts the es ample. The line speoime of Mr. Ueson, will er*e admirably for her museum, of living curiosities.

Indeed the law of Strikes beh been systematized, gePeralsed d codifed by leg lshb writers, who have investigated the great question of Capital vs. labor; which is so often thrust in the face of the English nation, ebaking thei very foundatioo of their system. Thei cause of Strikes has been considered from the circom ference; most writers contenting themselves with the Strike itself the very mob In arms. Others trace them to the "Poor Laws," "The Corn laws," and the "Bread Riots." But beneath all the superficial views, lie great questions, or rath. er great stumbling blocks to the true progress of society in its de volopmont. Whether the fault is with statesmen or theologians, or both, concerns the great thinkers of the ago who do not belong to either class, and have no fear to grapple with questions which lie deepest in the strata of society, that they may be brought before the tribunal of reason, to test their merit and expose their error. The Awsociation of Bradford and the Strikere Society may pass resolu tions, and Lord Sbaftsbury may go down and eay still more emphati cally, "Ye men of Bradford, don't strike." The Right Bon. Sir J. Napier may labor to show that if the legal Sabbath were destroyed, the Strikers would have to give "seven days labor for six days wages," and such logio may have a restraining influence for an hour, yet they, the leoturers must admit that freedom gets out of the har es of the law, and runs riot again, iu spite of the argument The same questions meet as here. For years past such upheavals have been so common in thei land of lib. erty, that they fall to attract no. ties abroad. What is miscalled "Public Opinion," overrides the oonstitution and the laws; com mits lagratoetrage here or there, and meets no resistance to its reign of terror. Such vulgar mobs are called in our improved lexicon of the mother tongue-"Vigilance Committees." Paradoxical as it might appear to a man a modern as him of Sleepy Hollow, the press -which is the mouth-piece of the mob, calls the lawmles berd-"our most respectable citisee," "th friends of law ed order"--edordr lng their outrages as long as they are in power. The sway of snob brute fores only lasts until jeal ousy of theim commad breakslm out uad then the chief or ringleader has to fly from hbks aoomplices to save his life. We need o De Tooque ville to tell us that such is Democ racy in Amerlea; tham we have no law outside of the reeling mob, said Lin leader to give the highest expreseio to public opinios. We know it, and feel that we are drift lag ashore-earing the land wbre a tyrat rulen, beaus of oar fat·a ious and untrue doctripes of equal ity. It was this spirit that gave Marat sad Danton the gluat's pow er in the days of th grat revolu tic; it is this spirit that now roles the mob of New Ergland; not to riot only in the coutest of abor with capital, but to seis the iSat headed slave who follows his mea ter, and elevate him to rale of equality with a betterre A po sitio. which Is itly tebuked when the get Kiag of kiag hIrls him bak tothe plae elie gnd him in the le.

Wasesuaro, Nov. m.--Tm President sad his Cabinet have under eooeideratio theepedieaey of recommending Cougress at the approshinblg seeson, to elil a con vention of the State. [Article 6 of the oonsutttlon of the Uni ted States reads thus: "The, Congres, whenever two-thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessry, or, on the application of the Legislatures of two-thirds of the several States, shall eall a convention for proposing amendments, whiah, In either ease, shall be valid to all latents and per poses, as part of this constitution, when ratiled bylthe Legislatures ofthre-fourths of the several States, or by conventions ia three-fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratifostion may be proposed by the Congress." The duty of Congress is therefore obligatory in certain ases, but it has no further instructions under the oonstitution.) JArPAssS Lirrin, FoLt,.--During more than a half a year's residence in Japan, I have never seen a quarrel among young or old. I have never seen a blow struck, scarcely any angry face. I have seen the children at their sports, flying their kites on the bills, and any amount of intertangled strings or kites lodged in the trees provok ed angry words of impatience. I have seen them intent on their games of jackstoneo and marbles under the shaded gateways of the temples, but have never seen an approach to a quarrel among them. They are taught inplicit obediece to their parent., but I have never seen one of them chastised. Re spect and reverence to the aged is universal. A crying child is a rarity seldom beard or seem. We have nothing to teach them in thi4 respect out of our abundant civill. sation. I speak what I know of the Ittle folks of Japan, for more than any other foreigner have I been among them. Of all that Japan holds there is nothing that I like half so well as the happy children. Ishall always remember their black eyes and ruddy brown faces with pleasure. I have played battledor with the little maidens in the streets, 4nd lown kites in the fields with as happy a set of little boys as one could wish to see. They havebeen my guides in my rambles, shown me where all the streams and the riads were, where the flowers lay the thicket, where the her. ries were ripening on the hills; they have brought me shells from the ocean and blossoms from the field, presenting them with all the modesty and a less bashful grace than a yoeng American boy would do. We have hunted the fox boles together, and looked for the green and golden docks among the hedge. They have laughed at my broken Japaese and taught me better, and for a happy, good natured seot of children, I will turn out my lit tie Japanese friends against the world. God bless the boys and girls. of Nipbo I--- Crrudua Hoes Journal. I For a great many years had Mr. Twist borne the title of Deacon. Clesrgy and laity recognised it, and everybody called him deacon. "Good morning Descon Twist," was a common salutation, and it seem ed fitting that he should be a dea con, because he was such a good, quiet, benevolent man." "Your neighbor, Deaoon Twist, seems to bhe a great favorite," one said, whbo had lately moved into the neighbor bood, to an old seuler; "what chorch is the deacon of?' "Not of a·o chbrch," was the reply. "Well whabst giveu him his title, then P the stranger continued. "Why," said the one qustioned, "whent were plastering the new chr down here, he sad saother u est up one cold night ts wak the frs, so thet their works chsaidat frose; been eleo d deems thiM s dnay" Fun Fastox,--The seo dee. pi-d "miak," takiag rhk mely s e step higher than the muskrat, has got into serb high favor from its close resemblance to the Hud. son Bay sable, that importations have been displaced to a large extent, and now the American sable takes the precedence in comparison with almost any of the rival fors. Stonemarten, fitch, squirrel, etc, are less inquired for. Success is winning popular favor results in this case much as it oft en does in the bigher walks of an imal life, and whole communities in the mink creation have been brought to sorrow from the effects of extensive adulation. In other words, the demand for mink has tended to surfeit the market, so that prices are about twenty per cent, l'ower than last year. In style there is no essential change, except that the half-cape leads, owing to the use of the modernized Arabian hood in cloak making, which does not permit of coverings. The stock of furs on hand is about as usual in quantity ; but it will be speedily reduced after the win ter fairly sets in.--N. Y. Journal of Commerce. Tae Fsstzwo or Dusrawse is Ce' cixtars.-The Cinoinnati qsir r, in commenting upon the comliber cial affairs of that city, says: The cutting of hogs is not carried on to the extent that was genetal ly anticipated two or three weeks since. The facts are, a feeling of distrust seems to have taken pos session of business generally. We are informed that Messrs. Mitchell & Rammelsburg to-day, owing to the countermanding of large South emra orders and a great falling of in their trade from the South, dis charged their hands till business assumed a brighter aspect. A lot of nearly Ave hundred stoves, ship ped by Miles Greenwood to New Orleans, to be sold on commlesios, were re-shipped, they (the commis sion merchants of that city) refus ing to receive them; not from the fact they could not be sold, but the South are determined not to receive any goods manufactured in Ciunian nati for the present. This is cer tainly a very bad state of affairs, but we are in hopes-and no doubt they will bhe flly realized-matters will not continue of so deplorable a character for any length of time. Bustas Covnrst. - Nothing more certainly marks the gentle man than the observance of a uni form courtesy and kind of life. Such a bearing towards all men should be cultivated till it grows to be a habit. Sure, kind words are as abundant, and cst so more than harsh ones. Many a man has rob. bed himself of success by a austere and haughty manner. Such an ad dress chills those whom interest at tracts, and impairs a coefidence that wight become almost fond. There is nothing like a quiet, gen tie, and polite manner in business. Petulance and passion grow worse by indugence, and unfit their pos sessor for pleasant intercourse with his fellows. But every gentlemen has a right to demand and receive courteous treatment at the hands of those with whom he may deal; He is worse than a boor who purpose ly and coolly refuses to extend it.

Sose ides of the enormous quntity of water that is perpetuatll lowil into the omens of the globe is de. rived from the extent of Its chief river basins. The Rhone, for ex ample, drains the waters from an area of '1000 square miles of coun try; the Rhine, which has a length of 600 miles by its windings, drains the water from a country of twice that area; and the Danube from 55,000 square miles of surface; but the waters from an area of 800,000 square miles fall into the St. Law rence and those from 1,000,000 of square miles into the Mississippi, which, by its winding, has a length of 8,660 miles. It is estimated that 1,800,000,000 of tons of water fall daily into the Mediterranean, which, besides the great rivers that fall into it, receives more than twenty secondary rivers and innumerable smaller streams. More than a fourth of the river water of all Eu rope falls into the Black oSe. BeadYs Miuelde. SW The stockades, six in num ber, constructed by the Uhinese at the mouth of the Peiho, are worthy of description. There was first a row of strong wooden posts out. side the forts; then a d',uble row of iron spikes of great weight driven deep into the ground, and showing their sharp point only at low water. Some of these pieces of iron, which were of the size of an anchor stock, most weigh as much as from fifteen to twenty tons. A third stockade was furmnd of flosting cylinders united tegether and fastened to the banks by strong chains; the fourth was in every respect similar in form to the second, but composed of slighter materials; and, lastly, the other two were made of a num ber of beams of wood, united by chains and cables,.and firmly fixed to thile two banks of the river. 8PE IAL NOTI UEs.
