nature, a nunieation of that ancient patnurcn,
Jacob, from sundiv
u lundiy "beioou" charuei made
against him in my scrio-play ful " Essay on Man,"
and feel myself at some little loss bow to begin
rejoinder. I think that I recognise in you one
whose dry -it is to "expound tbe scriptures,
and consequently one who ought to be perfectly
familiar therewith.- I feel, therefore, thul io you
I shall, at least, find . -
- i x foe'inan worthy af my steel."
But notwithstanding you may be very familiar
with the liihle as familiar with it as Daniel
Webster win with tbe Constitution of1 the United
States 1 Mill that ill tbe act of undertaking
to defeud Jacob's winner of arquiriny the prop
erty in question, you will hud thai y u occupy
untenable giouud
I would not be thought to treat with levity, or
irreverence, the Bible that great Book of books
that beacou by whose steady light we are guid
ed in our pathway over the great sea of lite. ' Far
from it. 1 have been taught from my early child
hood lo look upon this book with a kind of. rev
erential awe, but I have never been taught by it
nor by any other to give my sanction to or
defend a dishonorable act, uo matter where
fouud recorded, nor by whom committed. Be
cause Jacob wo the great fatherof the larselitish
people is no reason that be could not have been
guilty of a wicked act. Uad it not beeu possible
tor youd men to sin, the prophet JMaibmi mignt
have never hid an occasion to reprove that great
ndgood personage, Dartd, whoui, we are in.
formed by the Bible, was "a man after (jrod'i
owe heart.",
My friend is greatly mistaken when he thinks
that 1 bavu a "spite" agaiust Jacob. Such is
not the ease; nor was such the motive which
actuated me whito penning tha article in question:.
I aw not only willing to give Jacob and the Devil ,
ii due but to render the same unto Constance. !
I alluded to Jacob for the purpose of illustrating :
my subject, and in proof of my position, simply ;
as I would to anu other historical character as i
I' would have alluded to Aristides as ao example '
of probity, or to Napoleon Bonaparte as an ex-1 you doing ?" was the inquiry. " Well, Missis, 1 'Herdsmen. 1 hey Jive on the pro

We will not discuss the character of Jacob
here. We should look upon bis faults with as
much- lenity as possible for a great many of
them weie, no doubt, attributable to the -indul
gent partiality of his mother. No are apt, in.
fact it is in established principle in our nature,

Disbanding of tub It evolution art A rut.
Wheu ha the sum, in ail hia course, since time
began, shone upon a scene like the disbanding of
tbe Revolutionary army f Where is the history
that can show its parallel, or the people that can
boast its equal ? An army flushed with victory,
that bad just achieved the iudependence of its
country, and given it a name and a place among
the nations, -hsd effected,, with indescribable lull
and hardship, tbe hih purposes of its enlistment,
snd that had large and just claims upon the treas
ury as well as gratitude of the nation, is summoned
on parade for the last time. Their arrearages are
unpaid they are without a dollar in tueir pock

ted, in their alscnce by savage violence many
of them enfeebled by sickness and protracted suf
feringsand all of them goaded by extreme seu
sitivooess, by a most eloquent exhibition of their
deserts, and an existing portraiture of their griev
ances, by a talented and ingenious fuctionist.
Will their love of country overcome the prompt
ings of selfishness and the keen and bitter slings
of disappointment? . W ill they refuse to listen to
the song of the syren, that justifies and urges self
remuneration 1 Will these careworn and ne
glected veterans pile their anus, snd literally beg
their 'paftuge homewards? Will they quietly
surrender the means of redress in their hands,
and trust CtlJ charity for bread, and the tardy
justice of the country for remuneration ? Oh, it
is more than human it is God like 1 The drum
beat the line is formed the flag of independ
ence is advanced to the frout the officers, with
uncovered beads, bid their men a silent farewell !
Filing off, they pile up their arms in solemn si
lence, and with clasped hands snd averted eyes,
are dismissed each to hist own way. . Is there
aught in Grecian or Roman story, in1 ancient or
modern revolutions, that can equul tho lust act of
our veteran fathers' magnanimity and patriotism?
The Truth or the Case A Georgian is
contributing, through the New York Journal of
Commerce, a series of letters to an " honest Abo
litionist."' We hope the letters may reach the
party addressed, as they will do good, if carefully
read and studied by those who need in formation
concerning tbe relation of master and laborer
at the South.

TflE EXPIRE OF 10S0CC0.
Ai tbe attention of the world it now directed
to Morocco, by the war which Spain i praecu,t
(ng agaioat that Empire, Borne general notice of
the history and p retool condition of the country
wi be intercaling and valuable to ewspopcr
Ie.der.
The Empire of Morocco embracing the king
dom of Morocco and Fei U in tbe extreme
Borthweitorn portion of Africa, forming a part
of tbat extensive region called Barbary. ft ii
comparatively narrow atrip of country, extend
ing fiom north to south ibout 500 mile", fiom
tbe itraiis of Gibraltar, on tbe Mediterranean,
to the Sahara desert, with width varying not
much from 200 miles. It Las a western sea
coast for the whole length of tbe empire, on tbe
Atlantic, and a north coast for its whole width,
on the Mediterranean. It con wins an area of
about 800,000 squire mile. It is territorially,
therefore, tbe largest Empire in the world ex.
,eept. RunU,endB'tf-, ..The lurface ,of the
country Is extremely diversified, and compara
tively littlo is known to the world of its topo
graphy. . Tbe coast generally, as well on the
Mediterranean as on the Atlantic, is high and
rouky and in many -parts inaccessible. The
country rises from the seashore io a series of
plains, one above tho other, like terraces, till at
tho bi as of the Atlas an elevation of 4,000 feet
is reached. The soil ia generally light, but in
some cases very productive ind affording excel
lent pasturage Some of the valleys aro ex
tremely fertilo. Tbe country bos seldom, and
the southern part, beyond the Atlas, perhaps
never, been visited by Europeans. The climate
is agreeable, tho thermometer seldom fulling five
degrees below the freezing point. .Tbo govern
ment of Morocco is an absolute and perfect ties
potisin. 'o government could be more so. . The
people are oppressed at tbe will of the Emperor,
who is maker, interpreter and executioner of the
laws. II is power is a military power in fact, al
though there is nominally no tanding army.
Some 5,000 troops are 'about his person always
being a body guard of negro slaves and merce
naries. Morocco has been successively under Jhe do
minion of tbe Romans, Coths, Vandals, Greeks
and Saracens. About tbe middleof the eleventh
century, an Arabian tribe, called the Aluiora
vides settled in tbe desert of Sahara, and cave
uthe name to a Mahommcdan sect called Molthe-
min, on account of their wearing rails. Under
tbe plea of rescuing tbe African tribes who
dwelt beyond the chain of Mount Atlas, from
the state of gross ignorance in which they lived,
the Almoravides made war upon tliomrsuldued.
the Berbers, and built the city of Moroccd.
.Yusscf, the chief of this exploit, declared him
, self sovereign prince, assumed the title of Prince
of the Believers, aid established the empire of
theAlmoravides. He died at Morocco in 1106,
at the age of 57. liis son -and successors kept
up the dynasty for about half a century, when
it was overihiown by the Almohades, another Ma
hoiuuiedun sect, though not till its dominion had
beeu extended iuto Spaiii, and its capital had
been established at Cordova. Tho Almohades
originated with a son . of a lamp-lighter in a
mw-quo at Cordova, wbo pre'ached against, the
vices of king and people, and egaincd followers
by promising 1 uradise to those who should join
him and full in the contest which he set on loot
against the Almoravidcs. Tbe dynasty was con
tinued by his son and successors almost a hun
dred yeais. .The last Emepror of the dynasty
began bis reign when-a boy, and grew up with
such profligate and voluptuous habits that be
ciippled tbe power of Morocco. lie died early,
and with him terminated the Almohade sover
eignty. With the full of tho Almohades the
power of the Morocco Emperors in Spain begau
to " decline Foe, two centuries afterwards,
amidst continual warfare and revolution, it was
limited to Granada, till in 1491 the Moors were
driven from that kingdom, and finally expelled
from Spain by Ferdinand and Isabella. The
present reigning family of Moroccushos beeu in
power about 300 yoars.
The population of Morocco is a matter of
mere estimate' or conjecture. The best authori
ties make it about 0,000,000. It is composed
of Amazirghs, Arabs, Jews on d Negroes. The
former aro the aboriginal or n jst ancient inhabi
tants of Northern Africa. . Tiicy are divided into
Berbers, who are nearly white, f resembling Eu
ropeans more than Africans, and. Shelluhs.

The town of Tangier is built on hill, la in
tmpliithcntrical situation, near a spaoioua bay of
tho Atlantic, about 80 miles from Gibraltar. It
is the nsidenco of the foreign Consul, and is
surrounded by a wall, or the ruin of a wall, aad
defended by two or three small fortresses.- Tbe

Mugsuore, which is tl.o principal trading port

The Moghrebins, as the inhabitants of Moroc
co are generally called, maintain an extensive
trade with tho interior of Africa and willi Egypt
ind Arabia, by caiavana, and with several parts
of Europe by sea, through the principal ports of the
empire, Tetuan, Tangier, Dar al Balds, Mazagan,
Si-fli, Rabatt ind Mopdoro. The caravans set
out (pom tbe commercial towns, generally consist
ing of about 150 persons and 1,000 or 1,500
camels, and nre then called cafitas.
Tbe exports from Morocco, by sea, ire princi
pally wool, which goes to Franco and Holland;
wax,- to Italy, Spain and England; bides, to
France and England ; gum arabic, copper, bitter
ind sweet almonds, goat skins, argan and olive
oil, ivory, ostrich feathers, dates, &.'., to various
places. Cotton cloth, from the East Indies and
from England, consiitutes the most important ar
ticle of import by sea'. .There are also imported .
woollen and silk stuCs ; colonial merchandise, es
pecially sui-ar, pepper and ginger; tea, opium, iron
and steel, nails, cutlery, earthenware, glose, ic.
1 wo treaties have been made with Morocco by
the United States one as early ss 1787, and'
another in 1836. In respect to trade and com
merce, the treaty which is to continue fifty years
from the time it was made, with tbe usual twelve
months' notice after the expiration of that period)
is liberal, giving us a footing with tbe most fa
vored nation for the time being, and suthority to '
puss and repass the country and seaports when
ever we please, without interruption.
The marutiuie commorcc of Morocco in 1813
including imports and exports reached $2,
750,000 : in-1849, 53,000.7 50 : and in 1850 83,- .
500,000. Aniong her imports in the years above
mentioned, was nn articlo called " Americanos,"
of which an official dispatch to our State Depart
ment, from Tangier, (peaks as follows : " Through
out the whole empire of Morocco, from the Sul
tan down to the lowest subject, the article which
we call ' course domestics,' is used under the ap
pellation of ' Americanos.' It ia the principal
article of import, and if an imitation, by tbe
manufacturers of Manchester, England, of tho
coarse domestics of Massachusetts. It took with
tho Moors, who were so enthusiastic in their
praise of it that the Engligh manufacturers dis
patched an ngent to this country to examine and
report on the fabric and the probable demand.
They then set to work to uian,ufacturo in every
respect similar; and stealing the name, they .
managed to undersell our countrymen and mou- ,
opolize the market."
The policy of Spain, in its present invasion of
Morocco, remarks the Boston Courier, is of doubt
ful expediency, nut to say justice. The osten
sible object, that of obtaining redress for griev
ances fur which the Government of tbe empire is
not really responsible, can scarcely be accom
plished at a cost which any degrco of sdcersa
would justify. If conquest and the destruction
of the ancient Moorish Empire be the purpose,,
the event will prove that if temporary subjuga-
tion be possible which is estremely doubtful-
