items of information concerning the critical po
sitiori of the American Missionaries have been
laboring the re. t ; .L"r":p;'i;JVv-i?y
. When this mission was established some
years since, the English maintained a splendid
embassy in Persia, in order to conciliate ' that
Gove rnmenj and thus oppose a harrier to the
anticipated encroachments of Russia upon the
British Indian Empire. V: IJer invasion of Afi.
gbanistan, which formed so romantic a chapter
jnherjiEas
era history, was prompted by the
same motive!, a purpose to seze and oecome
master of the passes through which' aloue the
Russian designs could be carried into execution.
From a variety of causes, however, and owing
chiefly 40 the disavowal by Russia of any such
intention- as jwas imputed to her by British jeal
ousy, England was induced togji ve up Afghan
istan arid to withdraw. her Embassy from Per

fluence A Russia Ambassador took up his
residence there, and being a zealous Protestant,
extended his protection to the American Mission.
About a year since, chiefly in consequence of
the controlling influence; of the Russian Ambas
sador, he Jesuits were expelled, for the third
time, from among the Neslorians. The Frerlch
officerf who! solicited the recall of the Jesuits.
This application being opposed firmly by the
Russian Ambassador, was denied ; and the
French officer then demanded that they should
be imparltalhj just, and send away the Protest
ants. T lo this it war answered that the rea
son for expelling the Jesuits, was because they
were riiaking proselytes : but that the American
Missionaries were not exposed to the same
chargerseeking merely to revive the piety and
earning of 'the Nestorian Church ; and there-
ore cduld not be disturbed. The Frenchman
affirmed on jthe contrary, that they have been
proselyting from the Nestorian Church, and so-
icited an examination of the tacts.
A Commission .was accordingly, appointed,
which repaired tojOroomiah arid took the testi

this testimony the charge was not substantiated.

A Romantic Story.- A circumstance which
has afforded ample material for the gossips of
SouthWarkJ Pa., has occurred within the last
few days, f Argent le man, resident in the South-wark-hridge
road, has been for. a considerable
time iri the: habit of attending a coffee-house in
Cannon street city ; and whether or not par
ticular attentions were paid jto the damsel in
waiting, the result was that she fell desperately
in loye with her custome r. Affection ripened
into positive madness, and'the poor girl, intent
on never ltteingslght of her 'passion, followed
him trom day to day, ana even auring me mgni
neve allowed vigilance to j cease. Several
times, on his way homeward, the gentleman al-
luded to has encountered me iair aamsei on
Southwark'-bridge, and threats have been held
out that unless some proof was , given that her
love, was reciprocated she would terminate her
existence by leaping from the parapet. On one
occasion she attempted to carry her threat into
execution, ,but was prevented by the gentleman.
It aDDears that at a .-later .hour of the night she
tendered her money to the toll-keeper, with a
view of passing through, out ner request was
refused, an intimation of her intention to com
mit self-destruction having been previously giv
en. " On Thursday spme circumstances transpir
ed that made It apparent that if precautionary
measures Jwere not taken, the worst might bel
expected, and the girl was given into the custo-df-of
the 'police.- Shortly afterwards she ap-

FT? A shin Canal across the American
Isthmus has long been the deam of Eu
rope and America, and various have been
the schemes for relaxing the iream. ' Thus
tar without effect.4 But , there is ; riow in
London a Senbr Gary from Mexico, who,r
having full authority flbisjGovernment
to undertake the work, and large conces
sions in his favor iri the everit of success,
has caused an accurate survey to be made
of the main' route for : such !a canal, hav
ing previously .'decided
Tehuantepec. , lie is now soliciting the aid
of English capital arid enterprise t6;'eria
ble himjto carry out his yievrs. '' , :
1 ,At the Isthmus of Panama the distance
between the two oceans is only forty miles,
and this would seem prima facia to deter
mine that as the spot for undertaking the
carial? Aniaccurate"suryey of this route
has been recently executed Under the or
ders of the French Government." The re
sult is not known, but is supposed to be
unfavomble:"Eyen' if there be no irisur-
mountablc objection in the formation of
the ground it is known tha thekapproach
trom the ocean to the Isthmus is so shal
low as to prevent vessels of any size fronv
nearmg the land. But a stup canal must
of necessity have harbors at each end, of
sufficient draught of water to enable ves
sels to continue their course from- Europe
or America to'the Pacific without break
ing bulk. This one defect, therefore, con
demns the short route of Panama. More
over, the whole region is unhealthy to a
degree deadly to European life.,'
The next and more feasible project is
by the way of Nicaragua TJie distance
there from sea to sea is ninety-Jive miles,
but the larger portion of the space is oc
cupied by Lakes Leon and Nicaragua, the
deep river of Tihitapa which connects the
two lakes, and the ample bed of the San
Juan, which pours the waters of these
lakes into the Atlantic. I
The climate is healthy, the j soil fertile
and the population not deficient. But the
physical obstacles arising from rocky falls
in the river, and the number of locks that
would be requisite to descend from lake
Leon, to the Pacific, which lies -457 feet
below, present so many difficulties, as to
turn attention to the third route, especial
ly when to these considerations is added
another startling fact disclosed long ago
by Humboldt, " there, is not oi the face of
the globe another spot so thickly studded
with volcanos, as- that part pf America
which lies between the llh and 13th de
grees of northern latitude." j Nicaragua
is embraced within these! parallels, and
volcanos with their offspring! (?) Earth
quakes are, as is readily perceived, of bad
augury for canal making and keeping.
The Isthmus of Tehuantepec lis in breadth
in a straight line from thb Mouth of the
Coatzacoalcos on the atlantic, to the Paci
fic 130 miles. The line of the proposed
canal would lie between 16 deg. 3 min's.
and 17 deg. North latitude. A great por
tion of the Southern side is occupied by
lagoons and extensive plains,! and on the
Atlantic side the Coatzacoalcos can be
rendered navigable, as its muth is more
than a third of a mile wide, j with never
less than twenty-one feet water in the bar.
Indeed, according to Balbi, " it is the finest
port formed by any one of the rivers that
discharge into the gulf of Mexico, not even
excepting the Mississippi.
On the Pacific a harbbr equally good
could be constructed in the lagoons of
Tehuantepec where the; depth of water
varying from 15 to 18 feet, can be readily
increased by dredging the bottom being
mud and shingle. j
The Isthmus of Tehuantepec is remark
ably healthy produces fine timber and
is capable of sustaining a numerouspop
ulation. ! 1
The route therefore of Tehuantepec is
that adopted by M. Gary j-the surveys
have been accurately and carefully made
-the entire practicability; of ithe underta
king, at reasonable cost, riot in any vent
to exceed seventeen millions of dollars,
been demonstrated, and appeal is now
made to the capitalists of England to com
plete it. II
We are sure that the United States can
not be indifferent to a scheme which looks
so practicable, and of which the conse
quences would be of at least much impor
tance to them, as to all Europe together;
and hence, although we have before allu

, AN ENRAGED. ELEPHANT
FROM THE NEW ORLEANS BEE OF MARCH 10.
J Wei ilarri : by a gentleman who "came
passenger, last evening on. ine, sieamer
PririceS !r6m Baton Rogue, that the large
male elephant of Messrs. Hopkins & Co.'s
menagerie, on Saturday -.morning killed
the Person who had been for, some lencth
of time employed to take charge of it. It I
ivipcafs umi ine iwo eiepaanis anu a cuin
el had! Deenlsent in'advance of the other
animal' en-route for Clinton the female
elephant and the camel chained together.
When about four miles from Baton Rouge,
the male elephant refusing to crosss a small
bridge, theC keeper, who was on foot . pro
cured f a horsed (one which the elephant
was unaccustomed to) for the purpose of
driving it over and iri attempting to mount,
the horse shyed, and threw the man in
theroadi The elephant immediately rush
ed upbrf him, caught him upon its tusks,
and threw him forty or fifty feet in he air,
which Was repeated a great number of
times, the tusks frequently passing through
his body. It then carried the body from
the road towards the woods, tossing it in
the air ;at intervals, until it fell between
two fallen trees, which saved it from fur
ther violence.- The infuriated animal then
returned to the road, where the female el-
epharit and camel had been chained to a
tree by, another keeper, and rushed upon
them, his tusks passing through the camel,
knocking down the female and breaking
the chain in two. The enrazed animal
then made offl towards the woods, carry
ing the camel by its trunk, and throwing
it at intervales in; the air with its tusks.
The other portion of the caravan now com
ing to the bridge, the elephant returned and
made demonstrations of an a-ttack upon it,
when firearms were broughtj into requisi
tion, ii A number of shots were fired upon
it, but without any effect. Word was then
sent to jthe United States garrson,and some
thirty or forty of the soldiers were sent to
despatch it with their muskets. The
neighbors also turned out Nvith their rifles
and shot guns, and some fifty or sixty shots
were fired into or rather upon him, for the
balls were frequently flattened up upon
striking, and fell to the ground. At length
it was; determined Upon to send to t he
garrison for a field piece to despatch him,
when one of the keepers, procuring a
spear, mounted a horse and succeeded in
wounding the elephant until he caused it
to scream with pain, and finally to. yield
to subjection, when it was driven off with
the balance of the animals. This is the
same animal which killed one of its kee
pers some two or three years ago at Al
giers, opposite this city, and was only stay
ed from further mischief after fourteen
shots had been fired into it.
The Wlieat Insect. A correspondent of
the New York Mirror gives the following
account of an occurrence which came un
der his own notice, and which may serve
to throw some light upon the nature and
character of that plague of farmers, the
wheat insect. He says
"In the spring of 1844, 1 placed a bag
containing half a bushel of white flint
wheat in a seed drawer, under glass, and
near the furnace of my green house. On
the O h of March, 1845, 1 opened the bag,
and to my surprise, found thousands of
living insects, such as are now presented
you some were on the point of leaving
the kernel, others were just commencing
to cat through, and many were perfectly
formed, and running about in all direc
tions. Six years ago, I was in the habit
of soaking my early grains in salt brine,
for the purpose of destroying the egg of
the insect, which I assured my neighbors,
much to their-amusement, and unbelief,
was ensconced in the kernel. Now, by
accident, the fact is made manifest. The
insect would not have appeared until Juue,
perhaps, had the wheat been sown. The
warm situations it occupied in the green
house brought it thus early to maturity."
North Carolina Scenery- We are satisfied
that our State is less known abroad, than any
other in the Union, and one of the reasons is,
the! most interesting portions of it arc not visited
byj strangers at all, and but too rarely by our
own citizens. A correspondent describes in tBis
pa;er, some ot the scenes with which our State
abounds, and the grandeur of which would com
pensate an European tourist for all his trouble
anil expense in reaching it. The New Xork.

scenery of the North River, when it is nothing
like so grand, romantic or beautiful, as thater
eiy where to be met with among our own moun
tains. Let the traveller, in search of health, or
the pictui-esque, go to our extreme Western
counties, drink, the crystal water that gushes
and flows in sparkling extacy around, and he

, We invite attention to the proceedings

held in this place joh Saturday last rela

Rail' Road, continued : from 4 Camden, to

thatwpuld have jso beneficial an effect otk
tho. prosperity of Charlotte arid Western
North Carolina as the accomplishment of
. A .' 1 i 1 . i ITT .--. "
mis unoenaKingj vve ard tnerelore not
surprised at the zeal manifested by many
at this time; Althoughvvetwere aware at
first of the benefits to be derived by our
citizens' by :specdy cdmrriimication with
CharIestori;!yet :tve!thought td start the
projecl now voujid be fallicr premature '?
but aponrefieclK) arid&asce.rtainiri- the
deep interest felt Jby;' many, citizens pfS.
Carolina in, the success pf thei scheme wc
believe thai the present -is, as propitious a
time -to bring. the, subject before the; peo
ple as any that could be selected." The
undertakingi at first thought, seems to be
one of great magnitude, and so huge in
appearance as to inakc many shrink from
engaging in the' work ; but when wc sec
yhat has been accomplished in other sec
tions of the- country; by persevering indus
try, why cannot the! same be carried to a
successful termination by, us. , There is
nothing to prevent it but apathy and the
.want of proper exertion on our . part. , We
therefore call upon all of our citizens to
lay their shoulder to the- wheel and the
work will be completed.
. The question may naturally arise to our
Agricultural friends 'what benefit! are we
to derive from the success of the! road 1
We answer much,' very much. All know
what it costs to take a load of Cotton to
the nearest market. It generally takes
from G to 8 days this at $3 per day would
be at the lowest calculation 818 to get a
load of cotton to mjarket, which at the pre
sent price of the article, makes a great in
road into the amount received. Now, if
a Rail Road wts inr-operation here a bale
of Cotton could be sent to Charleston for
a mere fraction of what it would cost the
planter to take; it. Thcp, another advan
take to be derived by the planters is the
facility they would have?of sending off at
little cost of transportation all the surplus
produce of Corn, Oats, hay,'&c. and this
easy access to market would causea cor
responding exertion to produce many ar
ticles, which planters are now. deterred
from raising from '-inability to sell. And
there are other advantages which would
grow out of the success of this underta
king which cannot be estimated until the
road is in luloperation, and from which
all would be benefitted;
As an encouragement to our agricultu
ral friends to engage in the undertaking
cheerfully, we will state a little incident
that came to our knowledge the other day.
A gentleman took stock to a considerable
amount in the Raleigh and Gaston Rail
Road, which is now insolvent, and although
the stock may be a loss yet by the saving
in the expense of getting the produce of
his farm to market and his ability to take
advantage of the rise in the market, he
has been benefitted by .that road. And
may not the like result accrue to ourFar
mers in the saving of expense and the ad
vantage of getting the highest price in the
market, although the Stock should not
yield any thing. We hope, then, our Ag
ricultural friends will come to the aid of
the undertaking. If you have not money
agree to pay in work, so that the great
boon shall not be withheld from us.
