In gazing at the starry heavens, all glorious as they are, we. sink under the awe of their magni tude, the mystery of their aecret and reciprocal influences, the bewilderine conceptions of their distances. Sense and sciences are at war. The sparkling gem that glitters on the brow of night, is converted by science into a mighty orb, the source of light and heat, the centre of attrac tion, the sun of a system like our own. The beautiful planet which lingers in the western sky, when the suriJias gone down, or heralds the approach of morning whose mild and lovely beams seem to shed a spirit of tranquility, not unmixed wtrb-aadnees, nor Tar removed from de votion, trttcrthe heart of him who wanders forth in Btrfilttde to behold it is, in the contemplation of science, a cloud wrapt sphere; a world of rugged mountains and stormy deeps.

Of what avail can such things be to a sterile desert upon which people Cannot subsist 1 The South must adopt other sorts of industry besides that which is employed in the production of cotton. It must encourage a variety of pur suits adantcd to the manifold faculties and capa. bilities of an intelligent community. In a word, manufacturing and mechanical industry must get a foothold at the South, if she would find profita ble employment for her people, develope her own re6ourc.es, and maintain a position among prosperous communities. There is no help oiherwise. Out of no theory of poetical conirucihn can me nooTh derive the elements of a substantial growth and strength if that varied industry be wanting which blends the intellect of man with the materials which na ture furnishes for articles of me. Whether our Government be Federal or National; whether the Constitution forms merely a league of inde pendent sovereignties, or is the cementing prin ciple of one united Republic ; whether the States are the constituents of the General Government, or whether the latter is an emanation from the great mass of the people these are questions which, important as they may be in their place, will never restore fertility to an impoverished cotton plantation in South Carolina, let them be discussed from one year's end to another. The next census will be likely. to announce some important facts facts for which reasons will be demanded. Whore there are results, there must be causes. Where tendencies exist and continue to operate steadily and uniformly there must be principles at work which take par ticular forms of manifestation by reason of inev itable laws.

I NDIA X REVO LU T10N I N TERESTING SCENE. An Albany correspondent of the Courier and Enquirer has the following : I was witness a few evenings since to a pecu liar, and an interesting scene. The Committee on Indian Affairs, both of the Senate and the As sembly, held a joint meeting in the ante-room of he Senate Chambei to hear the contending par ties on the great Indian question of the day. I have before stated the cause of the present anom alous condition of the Indians on the Cattaraugus and Allegany Reservations. Here then m this year, 1849, the question was debated with great earnestness whether the old form of government which had come down from the proud days of the Iroquoise should yield to the revolutionary doctrine of an election by the nation at large of cabinet of counsellors. J he old Chief party were represented by Nathaniel T. Strong, an ed ucated and adroit Indian, who preeented his ar guments in a quiet manner, and with an address that savored more of the civilized manner of do ing things, than of the timplicity of the woods. The revolutionary party had an eloquent and a- ble advocate in Dr. Wilson, a Cayug&n, who avowed with boldness, that there had been a revolution on the Reservation, that the neoDle were determined to shake off the dominion of the Chiefs which had become intolerable. He urg ed that their new form of government was the only way in which the nation could become as similated to the whites, and merged in their laws, their manners, their civilization. The young men. he said, were tor their new government, while the old Chiefs did not like to give up the power which they had so long wielded, and to which they had become accustomed. lie spoke, however, kindly of Blacksuakc, llie patriarchal chief, of whom I have before written in your columns, and while he opposed his reten tion of authority, he acknowledged his grave and venerable character. The counsel, for such they were, answered each other's arguments with a precision which would have been well received in any court. One of them alluded to the ignorance of some of those who had been engaged in the movements which had taken place, and said they were be lievers in the leeend of the handsome lake, sort of paradisical fiction. This was not denied by the other, but he claimed that his party wan ted to have the people educated, that they might throw off the old supereititons and customs. In alluding to an election which had taken place, one . curious fact was mentioned. Jt was said that the Chiefs had induced the warriors, many of them, to put forward a child as the head of their families, because, the icarrior$ did not like to have their names mtntwmed and thus, as these children could not vote under their laws organi zing tneir nation, the Chiefs were thus en abled to rule out a large number of suffrages that would have been cast against them ; a device worthy of Tammany Hall in its palmiest days. The whole debate was a curious one. Here was the wauing of the light of old Indian power. These disputant were Indians, able, adroit, inlorined, and one pleaded for the old Chiefs, the other for the young men, but it was evident that the movement in either case was the premonition of an advance, an impor lant oue toward civilization. The bright gas-lights of the Senate have seldom if ever shone over a de bate between the relics of sovereignty such as this. The people who assembled here by two men, had in the lifetime of some now living, held more of New York than did the white mau. But their members were faint and feeble against the might that was concentrated in that one word civilization, and hence the men ef the woods were driven back. Even on this, their last beautiful home, ou the banks of the Allegany, their forty forest miles of laud that ia ita richness might revive their memories of the soil that was once all theirsieven in that place of happy ex ile, tits division anion? brethren J7 ,. . tug me ma i otragwh&i magna aoljriM Aa uaga Uwit strjimn 1 ever tends to chili the body, such tis exposnfetocdld or to diminish the energies of the system, whether the cause be physical or moral, such as insufficient sleep or insufficient nourishment, depressing feel ings, such as fear, j-c. To avoid the use of all un cooked vegetable, as salard and encumbers. When the epidemic is prevalent in a locality, the use eves of cooked veget ables has often been the exciting cause of the disease. The use of fruit, nuts, raisins, cheese, smoked and salted provisions, pork, pastry, -c, is very injurious. Cold drinks, ices, and vinous drinks should be avoided. Curds, whey, milk, generally disagree with the individual, and should be abstain ed from. Purgative medicines should be used with the greatest circumspection during the prevalence of the epidemic, and never, if possible, without the advice of a medical man, and even when emploved, they should be of the mildest kind, such ns calcined magnesia, castor oil, or rhubarb. The nse of" saline purgatives should be completely abandoned, it is not to be forgotten that the smallest doses of purga tives should be completely abandoned. It is noita be forgotten that the smallest doses of porgntifa medicine often act with great violence during tae prevalence of cholera. 2. One of the first means to be employed is a sinapism oerjjie whole, ajfcdgggt. wnicn can oe repeated nccoraing io orenmswuacva. Sinapisms should also be applied to legs and arms, and to some part of the spine, particularly any part of it which may be painful. At the commencement of the attacks, 10 to 15 drops of Sydenham's laudan urn are to be given in a small cupfull of peppermint ten, with a small quantity of brandy. If the draught be rejected by vomiting within nn hour, it can be re peated. When the disease is advancing towards the stage of collapse, or if it be already at that stage, 39 to 60 drops of the subjoined drops can be given eve ry half Lour or every hour, according to the degree of prostration of the strength of the patient, Bags filled with heated sand or salt, or bran, should be wrapped round the extremities and applied along the body, in order to keep the heat of the surface, and thereby to give more enerey to the circulation of the blood in the skin. The patient should be kept well covered up so as to produce, if possible, a warm perspiration. If this can be accomplished, the dan ger of the disease is already much diminished, andit is frequently a s-itisfuctory sign that the energy of the system is sufficient to throw off the disease. To remove the cramp, friction, with any strong lhaimeat, the oos made aecordjpg to the jib ffi'.'HK FfifTIiiCTfcj rg: ba employed. The application of ainapissaa tsiuf door. : aneciea limos ana me vapor oath are ox great ser vice. Small morsels of ice allowed to dissolve in the mouth tend to lessen the thirst and sickness and to stop the vomiting. such are the principal means which may be em ployed until medical advice can be procured. As a summary of precautionary measures, I should say keep the body warm, avoid the use of indigestible food, especially whatever has been found habitually to disagree with the individual ; nse plain soup, roast beef, or steak or mutton soup." The above was furnished by Dr. Rogers at my re quest, and is, I have no doubt, entitled to great consid eration, as be is not only a Bcientinc but sensibls anee." " What is it?" asked the wag, pretending to mis understand the collector. u Fine for not training!" bawled the other. "Shan't pay it, fellow!" It will be three dollars next time I call" But the wag couldn't hear a word be said, and in the course of another month he received a peremp tory summons to appear forthwith at a court-martial in the district, instituted for the purpose of trying delinquents, and collecting such fines as could be scared out of the non-performers of duty. Having fixed upon a final plan to dodge the issue, at the ap pointed hour he waited upon the court to show cause, if any he had, why he shouldn't willingly have toted a musket and knansack about the town for twelve mortal hours, and otherwise perform the legal duties of a live " patriot." He was ushered into the court-room immediately which was held in an old country house where be discovered some three or four persons seated, at tired in flashy regimentals, and whose awful lk yal ler epoletts," alone, were sufficient to command the attention and respect of the profoundest beholder pec ted exhibition of spurs and buttons, he put a bold face on the matter, and responding to the directions of the junior member of the august court, he advan ced to the table, and the chief functionary commenc ed the examination.

" What do you suppose we sit here for?" asked the Judge, in a loud voice, at least. " A dollar and a half a day," said the prisoner. "He may go, Mr. SereenDt." " You can go," said the under officer, pointing to tne door. But our friend took no notice of the order. " You may go .'" yelled the Judee.

Why, treasure them to be sure, as if they were coin of the realm ; they are good for every thing which a gardner has to do. They are the best of all shel ter, the best of all materials for bottom-heat, the best of all soil, the best of all manure. It is true they contain little or no nitrogen, but they rot quickly, are full of saline mailers, on which ev ery thing that bears the name of plant will feel gluttonously, and from their peculiar structure allow air to pass in and water to pass out with perfect freedom. If we wish to know what leaves are good for, we have only to burn them, and see what a 9Qantity of ash they leave behind. All that ash a as much food for other plants as beef aud mut ton are for us. It is the material which Nature is perpetually restoring to the soil in order to compensate for the waste which is produced by the formation of timber.". Jn wild land trees are annually thus manured: were it otherwise, a J wood would be a roof of life overshadowing a floor of death. If we can' remove the leaves from our plantations, it is only because of the artificial richness of the soil in which they grow. This sufficiently indicates the value of leave?, which are in truth hardly less important in their death than they were in their liie, though in a different way.

Bate, a demist, writing in the London Lancet, recommends a new way of employing chloroform to abate the horrors of toothpulling, which, if his account be well founded, as we suppose it must be, will supersede the ordinary method of using it by narcotizing the patient. Instead of being inhaled, the chloroform is to be applied directly to the nerjre of the tooth, which the dentist ren deM accesathte fbnhe purpose, VPhen neceatfarj-. It ia applied on lint or cotton. It "causes Vie moat violent pain to subside," says Mr. Bate, "soon after which the tooth may be removed with comparatively no pain." Here the pain is to 1 atupify the nerve of the tooth, instead of the whole patient a great improvement certainly, which, by removing the danger of the ordinary method of administration, may render the use of chloroform by dentists much more common than it now is.

Whig, tells a capital story on a farmer in that part of the State, who, to make a speculation, put a large stone in one of his hogsheads of tobacco, and forwarded it to his commission . merchant at New Orleans, directing his merchant there to send a barrel of sugar. By accident or otherwise, the atone waa discovered.

Of course increased labor, multiplied employments greatly enhanced comforts of living in one word, a higher civilization, which is a more uniformly dif fused happiness. SALE OF PUBLIC LANDS. Attention is directed to the advertisement for the sale of public Lands in Michigan, in another column. A Government advertisement in the columns of the Register is certainly a very rare spectacle; for, we presume that with the exception perhaps of a very brief period after Gen. Harrison's election, such a thing has not been seen for twenty-five years. Wd hope then that it will be read, if not from a desire-r to purchase, at least for its novelty's sake. K If the individual who lately sent us, for pub lication, the notice of a couple of marriages, purport ing to have come off at Winnsville, Va., which we have since ascertained to be a hoax, should chance to read these few lines, our object in penning them Will be gratified. If a fondness for such 4ow and trifling amusement is in anywise peculiar to himself, he can have the consolation of knowing that no-honest man envies him the gratification. The man, certainly, who could work up a miserable affair of this char acter, for the purpose of sporting with the feelings of a woman, must be dead to all generous and man ly sensibility, and would not hesitate long to perpe trate a greater offence. Our rule with regard to tho insertion of mar riages is and has been inflexible. We never pub lish them, unless when accompanied by a responsi ble name. The fact that the notices in question were communicated by what seemed a responsible person, proves that their author was moro knave than fool. HP" The communication of the Hon. William B. Shkpard, iu reply to the late Card of the Hon. Edward Stanly, has been received and shall have a place in on next. ' Sar tain's Magazine. We have received the April number of this ex cellent Magazine. Our readers will recollect that unusual interest is added to this work by the publi cation of " Roanoke ; or wfare is Eutopia," by C. H. Wilbv, author of Alamance. The present number contains six chapters of this Novel, ia continuance from the March number. tt- The time for holding the North Carolina Medical Convention was erroneously stated in our last issue.

The J ournal is at a loss to know how Macaulay managed to get a copy of the lice President's address before it rras delivered. of Loco F nv f li a 1 . l w.w UUIC country, and infusai into the heart of the induct. i .anu; DeSe evils do E0t iffiniedlJ me new Administration will doubtn with the most bitter denunciation.
