" Life, which, it is habitually said, hangs upon a thread, and which, with all its ills, a "bare bod kin" may terminate, seems yet sometimes so te nacious that nor cold, nor famine, nor ills, beyond human endurance, one Would think, can", avail against it A most striking illustration of this truth is presented by the following extract from one of Mr. Weed's letters from Ireland : , On board the steame I met with a most extra ordinary man in many, respects the mast eztra ordinary.off any living individual, That there are other men who have lost both arms and both legs by amputation, I doubt not, but that those others walk about erectly, and are able to feed themselves, and even to write, I much doubt. This iadividual is Neil Dewar, a native of Argyle sailfe, in Scotland, who was shipwrecked on the coast of Labrador in the schooner Rebecca, of Quebec iu 1817. The survivors (the captain, mate, and four of the crew,) found themselves upon the inhospitable shore of Labrador in the month of November, with a cask of cherry bran dy, their onlyustenance. The mate and on of the crew perished with cold and hunger. The captain died soon afterwards. The subject of this paragraph was so badly wounded in the legs, as totfe unable to accompany his companions in an attempt to find assistance. These companions returned towards night the following day, with information that they had found an Indian hut, to which they with difficulty assisted him. Here they found a hunter with a white man and two Indians in his employment. The hunter did all in h;s power to relieve the sufferers, but it soon became evident that nothing but amputation would save the lives of Dewar and Donaldson, one of his companions. The latter died from loss of blood, during the operation. The life of Dewar was saved by an application of hot pitch to his bleed ing stumps. The operation was performed by the white man , assisted by the Indian. His arms soon healed, but his legs continued in'adeplorable s'ale till spring, w&en his kind host had him con veyed to the coast on a sledge, and in September he obtained a passage in the schooner to Quebec, at which place he was received into the.Hoepital of St. Ro-oque and very kindly attended by the nuns. Hut here it was tound necessary to re-am- putate both his legs ! In 1819, he obtained a passage home to Scotland, but on the passage his wounds broke out afresh, and while in the Glas gow Infirmary, a third amputation of both his legs was performed by. surgeons Corkindale and Cu min ! ! The wounds soon healed, and for nearly twenty years he has enjoyed excellent healths By the aid of cork legs and the assistance of a cane jointed to a cork arm, he walks without dif ficulty.

Now this wa$ the fact He had been three years immured iu the Peni tentiary of a neighboring State, for a crime com mitted in the heat of passion, and he has to many friends given an account of the mental agony which he endured on first entering the institu tion. It was not so much the physical suffering ; the tedious, sleepless nights in his narrow csTl ; the sorrowful silence in which he plied his in cessant and thanjtlcss labor; his coarse and scanty food ; not so much these, as the comnanfooship of the hardened wretches around him, 'whose crimes he could oqly imagine from the character of their faces, as he caught glimpses bf their fea tures in the turning of a gang in marching, or in the chapel on theJSabbath. The degradation of sptru it was that almost broke his hearty lt mattered little," he thought, "how much he might 1)e abused, what insolence of office he might suf fer, or how deeply the iron in the dungeon might enternto his soul.

For the first two or threeCveeks, he was almost mad with the intensity of his mental suffering ; and he remain ed in this state until one Safcbath morning, when the keeper. whoVas a Churchman by persuasion, permitted the Episcopal ervipe t be read to the Prisoners, at the request of young relation, who was a student at a neighboring Theological Sem inary. Never, has our. informant oiterfTieard the ci-devanS3State Prisoner say M never shall I forget the effect of one of those blessed prayers upon my rr.ind. vIt taughtpme that I was not ut terly forgotten and cast away, in. my desolate abode." The prayer runs as follows : 44 O God, who sparest when we deserve punishment, and intby Wrath rememWrest mercy, we humbly be seech thee of thy goodness to comfort and succor all thdSe who are undefreprqach ajid misery in the house of bondage : correct them not in thine anger, neither chasten thfjq in thyore displea sure.

VA&t cr the Mississippi. A writer inhe National Intelligencer, who has presented some very interesting and imposing Views of the mag nitude and resources of this vast internal empire, thus refers'to the extent and capacity of its navi gable rivers : The Mississippi is known by such very crude and indefinite names as the Vest the Western country, the Lake-country, the Southwest, the Far West by some it is called the Land of Pigs, and, since the elections of 1840, t is sometimes called the Coon-skin regions. Its boundaries on the west are the Rocky Mountains, Mexico and Texas, on the south the Gulf of "Mexico ; on the east the Alleghany Mountains ; nd on the .north the Lakes and British possessions. It contains nearly as many square miles as continental Eu rope, and if populated as densely as England, would sustain a population of five hundred mil lions of human beings more than half of the pre sent population of the earth. Stretching from the 29th to the 49th degree of latitude, it possesses great variety of climate. In richness of soil and ovtoni nf ;nK1 ion!, it ia not fitiro&ssed bv anv WAWWAAk W fcJ.Vw jw J J countrv of the same extent Its surface is almostX unbroken; by a mountain or anui or sumcieni sizw to impede cultivation. Geographically viewed, it is pre-eminently a commercial country, and is particularly eligible for foreign commerce. To see, reader, for yourself what the Mississippi val ley is, suppose you go on board one of those steam boats lying at the wharf in New Orleans and about to start for the Upper Mississippi river. Leaving the orange groves and sugar plantations of the South, in about ten days the boat will land you at the Falls of St. Anthony, twenty-five hundred miles up the Mississippi river ; if you think you are not far enough north, you can walk around the Falls, and taking another boat, ascend eight hundred or a thousand miles further. On your way up you will have passed through many cli mates, and seen the productions of each under cultivation, and over a vast mining region, abound ing in coal, lead, iron, aid copper ore, all found in veins of wonderful richness. As you return, should you wish to take a peep at the West, you will take a boat at St. Louis bound up the Mis souri river. After a couple of weeks or o of good hard running she will land you at the Great Falls, in the country of the Black foot Indians, about thirty-nine hundred miles above St Louis, and five thousand from New Orleans. Returning, you would of course wish to see some of the tributaries of the Missouri ; for this ourDose vou would make a little excursion of eleven hundred miles up the Yellow Stone, or six teen hundred up the Platte, and of twelve hundred up the Kanzas, and so back to St Louis on the Mississippi river, twelve hundred miles from New Orleans. There you take a boat for the beauti tiful Ohio, and run up that stream to Pittsburgh, one thousand miles from the mouth of the Ohio and two thousand from New Orleans. You would see the flourishing towns of Louisville. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh ; the most luxuriant crops of all the grains and grasses ; fine and numerous flocks and herds of every kind ; you would smile to see the primitive contrivances w&fted on the bosom of the Ohio, bearing the products of the Ohio valley to its distant market in New Orleans, and more than all, you would rejoice to see the healthy, happy, smiling faces of the people. Before you again embarked on the Mississippi, you would no doubt run three or four hundred miles up the Cumber land, and six or seven hundred up the Tennessee river, to see what were the first cotton regions of the valley, and now highly cultivated and im proved. Once more on the Mississippi, on your way downward, you would be prompted to shoot fif teen hundred or two thousand miles up the Ar kansas river, just to see where all those hides and furs come from. Y9u would no doubt run two or three hundred miles up the Yazoo, and two hun dred or so up the Big Black, both in the State of Mississippi, to see the countries that send out those stupendous steamboat loads of cotton that you met-on you way up; and just before you reached New Orleans you would be sorely tempt ed to pop a thousand or fifteen hundred miles up Red river, to see the splendid cotton plantations of Louisiana, and give a finish to your excursion. When you get back to New Orleans, you would have a tolerably accurate idea of what the Mississippi valley is ; and by putting the dis tances together you will find you have travelled very comfortably by steamboat sixteen thousand miles, and, in going and returning, double that distance. Should curiosity lead you to investi gate, you will find that latbe Mississippi river and its tributaries the Mississippi valley possesses a steamboat navigation of from twektt-five to thirty thousand miles. Such is a brief but true geographical glance at the valley. To the mind of an Atlantic or European reader it may appear more of a 44 fancy sketch'Hhan a true de scription. l.et them not suppose the tryth violated because our rivers are large ; we did not make them and are not responsible for that. We have, however, plenty of such little streams as the Hudson, the Delaware, the Potomac, the San tee, the Thames, the Severn, the Mersey, the Humber ; but we d net dignify them ,with the name of rivers ; we call theiu creeks or bayous. With us it takes a tiver to make a river. Header, when in the providence of God it shall be your fate to stands by the cold form of one whom you have loved : to gaze upon lips, oh ! how pale and motionless ; upon hands thin and wasted, crossed upon the silent breast ; upou eye lids dropped upon cheeks. of clay, never to be lifted again ; then haply you may think of these beautiful lines of the good Wesley. Amidsi re membered hopes that vanished and fears that dis tracted, weeping in unknown tumults, 44 like soft streamings of celestial music" comes to your aching heart this serene Evangel ! How blesA is our brother, bereft Of all that could burthenjiis mind ! How easy the soul that has left , This wearisome body behind ! Of evil incapable thou, Whose relics with envy I see ; No longer in misery now, No longer a sinner, like me. This dust is affected no more With sickness, or shaken with pain ; The war in the members is o'er, Andnever shall vex him again : ffo arfter henceforward, or shame, Shall redden bis innocetit clay : Extinct is the arrhnal flame, And passion is finished away. The languishing head is at rest, Its thinking and aching are o'er ; The quiet, immovable breast Is heaved by affliction no more. The heart is no longer the seat Of trouble or torturing pain ; It ceases to flutter and beat, It never will flutter again ! . The lids he so seldom could close, By sorrow forbidden to sleep, Sealed up in eternal repose, Have Btrangely forgotten to weep. The fountains can yield no supplies, The hollpws from water are free, y-' The tears are all wiped from these eyes, And evil they never shall see. ' . . It is enough to fill every heart with , gratitude to the Giver of all good, to see the present pros pect for corn crops in this country. At no-former period have we seen them' better. THE PROGRESS OF CORRUPTION. We do ' riot know, (says the National In telligencer,) how we can characterize the opera tion, of whicbr the following signs mark the pro gress, otherwise thari as corrupting arid demor alizing to an extent never before realized in this Government under any Administration. The mere statement of the facts is mote eloquent than the most labored commentary would be : i? " "- FROM THE HEW BEDFORD BULLETIN. Considerable sensation has been produced in this town this morning by the announcement of the appointment of Robhet Fkench, Esq. to be C&leWor of the port, vice WilliIm H. Aldew, Esq. removed. We have no time at present to comment cn this extraordinary proceeding as it deserves. It is enough perhaps to say that it is perfectly abhorrent to this community. It meets with no favor from Locofocos or Whigs it is condemned by alL It is an appointment, that can never be ratified by the Senate, and which pro duces in the public mind only indignation and disgust. 1 FROM THE BOSTON JOURNAL. William A. Wellman, the'foeputy Collector of this port, has been removed from office and Adams Bailey, the former Deputy Collector, ap pointed in his place. This removal is much to be regretted, and we fear is only a prelude to fur ther changes of a character truly obnoxious to those who have business to transact at the custom-house. FROM te BOSTON ATLAS. The only official notice Governor Lincoln re ceived of his removal from the office of Collector at this port was from a printed paper presented to him by his successor, stating that Mr. Rantoul had been appointed Collector of the port, and directing hun to deliver over to the said Rantoul the books, papers, and property in his possession belonging to the United States. FROM THE SAME. Edwin Wilbur, an ultraradical, has been ap pointed Collector at Newport, (R. I.) in the place of William A. Liltlefield, removed. George M. Weston, Locofoco Editor of the 44 Age," has been appointed Postmaster at A u gusta, (Me.) in place xf Perkins, Whig, removed. Mr. Bradburt, Locofoco, has been appointed Postmaster at Calais, (Me.) in place of Glover, Whig, removed. Henry Reed, Locofoco, has been appointed Postmaster at South Brookfield, (Mass.) in place of A. Skupiert Whig, removed. O. Mabhin, Locofoco, has been appointed Post master at New Braintree, (Mass.) in place of T. P. Anderson., Whig, removed. FROM THE SAME PAPER. The Destructives Rewarded. Some of the leading, the most thorough-going, out-and-out Locofocos, who disgraced the State of Massachu setts by their conduct in the Legislature the last session, have been handsomely rewarded for their exertions in favor of the Destructives. Pea Nut Leland, a Locofoco member of the Senate of this State, has beenfppointed Collector of the port of Fall River. George Savary, another Locofcco Senator, has been appointed Postmaster at Bradford. Frederick Robinson, another Locofoco Sena tor has been appointed Warden at the State Prison. Seth J. Thomas, a leadiug Locofoco member of the House of Representatives, who tried bard to get himself elected Speaker of that body, has been appointed Naval Storekeeper at the Navy Yard, Charlestown. William Sawyer, also a Locofoco Represen tative, has been appointed Postmaster at Charles town. B. H. A. Collins, one of the most consummate scoundrels that ever disgraced any legislative body a man who was elected by the Whig votes of one of the strongest Whig towns in this State, and elected as a vkig and who basely and trait orously deserted his party, and by his single vote made Marcus Morton Governor of the Common wealth, and threw the whole government of the State into Locofoco hands this B. H. A. Colhns, the perpetrator of this unmitigated villanj&'.haa received the promised reward of his treason, by being appointed to that long and deeply flesired office, the keeper of the Eastham lighthouse. These worthies have all done the dirtyiwork to which they were appointed, and verily.they have their reward. Calhoun Meeting in New York. A meeting of persons friendly to the nomination of the Hon. John C. Calhoun as the Loco Foco candidate for the Presidency, was held at the Park in New York on Monday evening last. The Tribune .gays that, about 4000 people were in attendance, iZjjt the proceedings were marked by quiet, per fect order, and an utter lack of all enthusiasm. Stephen Hasbrouck, Esq. presided. A very long string of Resolutions was adopted, which pro ceed First to declare their conviction that Mr. Cal houn is 44 pre-eminently qualified to administer the general government, according to its traa principles, and consistently with the interest of the people and the progressive, spirit of the age." They enumerate, as among the acts which entitle him to this preference his adherence to the doc trine' of State Rights, his bold and uniform sup port of the principles of Free Trade, and his ef forts to enlighten the popular mind, 44 with regard ta primary or abstract principles." They res pond heartily to the declaration of Mr. Van Bu ren, that no one can expect, or shouldJdesire to be always in office in a government like ours ;" and protest against the effort to force his nomin ation upon the party against his own published wishes. They proceed to advocate the District System of electing Delegates to the National Convention, pronouncing the old method of coun ting the votes in such Conventions unconstitu tional and unjust. After these Resolutions had been passed upon, James T. Bradly, Esq. made a speecb,setting forth reasons which induced lhepreference of the meeting for Mr. Calhoun over the other candi dates for the Presidency. t He spoke (adds the Tribune) with bitter indig--nation of the attempt of a portion of the Demo cratic party to force all its members to the support of a man they loathed, and declared that the des potism of party had become so perfect under their direction as to be no longer endurable by men who had the spirit of freedom in their hearts. Tbe whole power of the party machinery, he said, had beejii seized by a set of men who sought solely their own aggrandizement, and cared no more for the people, whose good they professed to seek, than for the stones of the pavement upon which they walk 1 Some of the Democratic papers are proposing a later period than was first named for holding their Convention. They now speak of ih&frurth Monday in May next. Why bo late, gentlemen t Nothing can be made by putting it off until after the Whig Convention meets. Henry Clay is to be our candidate, and the . Convention will only meet to select a Vice President, and give a fuller expression of public feeling in reference to him. Asheville Messenger. Two travellers having been robbed in a wood, and tied to trees some distance from, each other, one of them in despair exclaimed, 44 Oh, I'm un done ", 44 Art you V said the othen 44 then I with you'd come and undo me."

"Stand aside and lb? old Chatham sfeakT " VICTORY I VICTORY 1 VICTORY ! 4 We have met the enemy, and this time 4 they are ours.' The WhTgs of Savannah have come forth vic torious from the election yesterday. They have felt a weighty responsibility resting upon them, and most manfully have they discharged, their duty. That dely was to show our friends in the interior that we have fullv ' recovered fronTthe paralyzing shock of Tylerism, and that we are determined to assert our right to a participation, in our city affairs. For that end we have worked diligently and faithfully, and each has zealously surpassed his neighbor in tbe labof. Our oppo nents haVe had the prestige of former victories as well as ancient discipline in their favor, but they are beaten, not so badly as we had reason to ex pect, not so badly as we had . fondly anticipated, but we are conquebors, conquerors in the city, while our acknowledged majority in the country will secure to us a largely increased majority in the approaching October election. This is the first, the initiatory step, to our next conquest, and until that is achieved we keep our lances in rest and our armor on. Let it be heard in the moun tains of Georgia, that the Whigs of Savannah have struck the first blow with strong hands and stout hearts and let the welkin ring with shouts for Henrt Clat and the glorious Whig cause. But the hour is late, and to the result Last year the whole number of votes polled, was 1,062 ; this year the whole number is 1,141. The highest Loco candidate had then 607 votes ; this year 570. Last year the highest Whig can didate received 488 votes ; and this year our highest candidate has received 596 votes. We have thus carried in eleven of our Aldermen, while our opponents have elected but. three of theirs. PREDICTION VERIFIED. In 1838, the venerable and pure-minded Hugh L. White, then trembling on the verge of the grave, made a speech to his constituents and fellow-citizens, at Knoxvifie, Tenn. Id. the course of his 'Speech he took occasion to allude to Mar tin Van Buren, the then President of the United States, in tbe following terms : He V. B. did not come into office upon any I character of his own, and no man is fitjorthe sta tioq, ftenow occupies, unless he attain it upoa the strength of his own principles aid character. He is nothing but a mere tuft of political misletoe, hav ing no root of his own, adhering to and supported by tlie limb of a distant trunk, altogether, and must as in fallibly perish whenever that trunk ceases to nourish him, as the tuft on yonder oak, whenever that oak shall hacirdecayed and fallen." Upon this remarkable prediction, the Richmond Whig comments as follows : 44 How to the very letter is it verified 1 With out any merits of his own leaning for support upon Jackson's arm ; when this could no longer sustain him, he forthwith fell, to rise no more. People will hereafter wonder how it came to pass, that a man, whose name is connected with no great public event whose abilities are not above mediocrity, and who never performed any higher feat than to supplant a political rival by the in strumentality of a pretty woman, came to fill the seat of Washington! They will admire still more at the folly and infatuation of his friends, who, in the face of the strongest popular aversion ever manifested for any public man since Burr's time, and in the very teeth of fate, as it were, insist on dragging this pigmy from his retirement, andagain stalking him across the stage a mark for the finger of public scorn and ridicule. If Mr. Cal houn, Mr. Cass and CoL Johnson were all to be candidates, it is extremely doubtful whether Mr. Van Buren would receive the Electoral vote of a single. State in the Union. That would test his strength and expose his weakness."
