In a chapter on life assurance, which op pears in Blackwood's Mainline for July, the ," ran through) writer is somewhat severe on the wealthy men Qof our dav,. who are but too senipulotia in their observance ol the maxims ol " I oor Richard." ' He says : Those who desire to be absolutely rich may if their lives are spared long enough attain that object by sordid and perpetual pinching and rigorous abstinence from the en joyments, hospitalities and charities of exifct enre. It is not difficult to accumulate gold if a mall has courage lo bean Elwea , indeed, cases are almost daily cited of apparent pau pers, amongM whose rags and gallimanlry in the corner of some fetid cellar extraordinary hoards are discovered. No one, however. ; mnl economy, they could obtain a vision of the serene or lively conntenance of those who shall walk at their funeral and divide tdeir gains;, if they could he prospectively present at the banquet which is lo follow the ceremo ny, and witness the enormous consumption of ries, but by way of Congratulation to the ioe briated heirs if thev could hear, by anticipa tion, Ihe remark of the jocular giiestt, the re tailed anecdotes of their meanness, and ihe commentaries on their cruel selfishness ihey might possibly, before the spirit has left the clay, sk themselves, seriously for what end. and either in this world or the next, they have consented to lead the life of muck-worms, and insure the contempt of ihir rc. Vo.', of all creature upon e.irlh, none i so despi cable as the miser. It is not impossible that the pro'ligtie may have a friend, for there is usual y lelt about him some touch of humani ty some one unbroken chord of jUe finer feeling of pur nature but the miser meets with no sympathy. Even the nurse who is hired to utteoil. liim in hi last hours, loathes the ghastly occupation,, and longs for the mo ment of her release for although the dcaih Jamp is already gathering oil his brow the thoughts of the departing- sinner are still upn his gold, aud at the mere jingle of a key he startles from his torpor, in a paroxism of ter ror, lest a superstitions attempt is being made upon the sanctity of hi strong box. Deeds there are many in . IhaUiox ; but where are the deeds that should haw comforted the dy ing man? What blessings has he purchased for himself through' Iris long useless life? There are no prayeis of the orphan or widow for him, not a solitary voice has ever breathed his name to heaven as a benefactor. One pour penny given away in the spirit ol true charilv, would now be worth more to him : than all the gold lhal the worlJ contains; but, notwithstanding, thai he was a church going awful texts in which the worship of mammon is denounced, and the punishment of Dives told, he has never yet been able lo divorce himself from hi oliiary love of lust, or lo part wiih one atom of his pelf. And so, from a miserable life, detested and despised, he passes into a drear eternity ; and thosi whom he ha neglected or misused, jnqki merry wait llie hoards of the miser.

He (looped, and hi voire wa weak, and such was the precarious Condition of hi health, that he had lo station himself immediately before and near the jury. lo make himself heard by litem. Mr. Wirt always placed himself in front of the tritl table, opposite the jury, in oraiorical position. Mr. Taney's) .manner of speaking wa lnw and firm never using the rhetorical orna ment, but pressing into the heart of the rase wiih powerful arguments, like a great leader, with unbroken, phalanx, into the heart of a besieged city. Hie style was plain, unadorn ed, and so forcible and direct, that it might be called palpable, v Wiih his snuff box' for the Chief Justice then, too, used snuff compress ed in his closed hand, lie reasoned for hour. witliout ihe least arsinpt it wit, or eloquence.

It was au in spiration which ca ne to him, if it came stall, unhidden and which would no more answer to his call, than ip.lpndowcr' is,,,,, '. Spirit ssTtb vary , ': ; ;.' . One of ihe moat interesting cases rver wit nessed at the Baltimore bar, was a trial in tnandatnut case, in which the right toa church was contested. Mr. Duncan had beenealab- lished in the ministry at Baltimore by a num ber of Scotch Presbyterians, in an obscure edihee. ilia tilenii drew such a eongrega- tion, that it soon became necessary to build a large one. It was done j and inlhe progres o! events, the Pastor preached a more liberal doctrine than he had at first inculcated. ' His early supporters remained not only unchanged in their faith, but they resolved lo have it preached to them by one with whom they could entirely agree upon religious matters. The majority of the congregation agreed with Mr. Duncan. A 'deep scti'sra arose is the divided flock, which wa eventually, by a writ of mandamus, carried before a legal4 tribunal. Mr. Taney wa counsel for the old ehool side, and Mr. Wirt for the defendants. The e uil room, during the trial, wsscrowded wiih ihe beauty and fashioa of the monumental city. It wa such " a display of eloquence,. ana a lull appreciation of it, is seldom wit nessed. Mr. Wirt wa lwav happy in making a quotation; and concluding thie cause, he made one of his happiest. After alluding lo the old school members, who, as it ha been auid, were Scotchmen, and after dwelling upon Ihe tragedy of Macbeth, the scenes of which are laid in Scotland, he de scribed their preacher as being in the condi tion of Macbeth' guest, and said, after a item rebuke lo ihem, that though they should suc ceed in their cause, which he fell confident they would not, ihey would feel like the guilty Thane : "Tlili Dcscas -. Hath borne lit. faculties so meek i bath been So clear in his great oBSee, that his tirluc, "' ' Will plead like angel trampcMmnjaetl against The deep damnation of bis taking uT." This quotation was made with audi orato rical effect, that there was a deep silence when Mr. Wirt took his seal, which was succerded by lepeated outbreaks uf applause. Mr. Wirl gained the case. A MODEL COTTON CROP. On Thursday' morning last, we had Ihe pleasure in company with several gentlemen, of riding over the coll on crop of our friend A. P. Lacoste, Esq. Mr. Lacoale' farm is situated about three mile from Town, and consist altogether of ptne land. He works eleven hands, and has in cotton one hundred and sixty -five acres; one hundred of which Was manured with guano, and the balance with stable &, barnyard manure. The guano wa applied at the rate of 200 lb, per acre, with ths exception of about half an acre, on which it wa applied- at the rale of 300 lbs. per acre. I if the one hundred and sixty-five acre, ooe hundred and thirty are fresh land, and the balance old and much worn. Mr. Lacoste plants no corn, having made more than enough lasl year for two year's consump tion on his plantation. The ICS acre are divided into a number of field or cuts, by fences and ditches. t' riilio; over 'he eron. each of the compa ny were requested lo estimate, without con sultation or interchange of opinion, the pro duct of each field or cut, and note it down. This was done, and afterwards these notes were compared and the following wa the re sult: Total average estimated product of Ihe 165 acres, 101.300 lbs., equal lo V?7i lbs. per acre. Among the gentlemen present wa one of Ihe most successful cotton planters in this section ol country, and his was the high est estimate made, it being al the rale of 1200 lbs. for 139 acres, and UOO lb, for 30 acres. This is a large estimate for pine land but had Mr. Lacoste planted his cotum five feet apait, and applied 300 lb of guano' Id the acre, with a favorable fall, Ins yield must have largely exceeded it. A a it is, if the fall is favorable we have little doubt but the re sult wilt come up lo the estimate. The great value of guano as a manure for cotton, is remarkably demonstrated in Mr. Lacoste' crop. - The sixty five acre which were manured from the .stable, though nearly tall and a well filled as the guanoed cotton can oo uisiinguisiieu irom me latter as lar aa ihe eve can distinguish the row. It ia de ftcient in the size of the bolls, bul more par ticularly in the thriving, healthy green ok, which characterize the guanoed cotton. ut the half acre to which the (euano waa pplied at the rate of 300 lbs. per acre, more le as a manure. This cotton was nearly a hird larger, the bolls also larger and more numerous, and the general appearance of the weed far superior to the other cotlou adjoin- mg we observed many placea-m the guaii oedeolton where the slighesl difference in the distribution of that article could be distinct-' ly aeen. Indeed, so thoroughly sc lined ha Mr. Lacoste become, of Ihe value of guano . in the nrnduclion of cotton, that he has alread.

Certain' Democratic journals "of the' 08 itripeare very, confidently assuming the ground that the I'residenl is in no way or desree im plicated in Secretary Davi' Philadelphia speech about the Pacific Railroad. These jo irnal are calrhing al every tiling, however flimsy, with which lo stave on a quarrel be tween themselves and thoir quondam darling chief. 1The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, has in the last few day administered to them a very agreeable and acceptable exhilarant in the shape of a grave statement to the effect that the' Presi dent ie not fo be considered a all committed lo that great project, or lo the doctrine which it involves. Moreover, that some of the mem beis t f the Cabinet are flatly, oppose I to it upon Constitutional princifle. Now, in the first place, we are surprised to see the audio rte of a lumetcs correspondent. of a paper, which t berhana a slijhily mdml wU the tenet of the Absiracunnist as the reeep- liou room in. the White House with the dew of heaven, oizcd Jpon wiih tici avid ity by the Stritii, (a w take the liberty of denominating the nmtty-tic.iiltrt, and ap pealed to for the purpose of making the post tiiu of the President suitable lo their' wishes. How is it thai ihe New York Herald has, al) al once, become an oracle with theso snhli. mated interpreters of the compact? lias thai journal ever through it editorials, or it correspondence, or in any other way, msni feated ihe smallest concern about the super snblletie of the Southern logiciana, who are warring against ihe Pacific Railroad ? Then, why go to its columns T Why take the loose, random-goaipwg communications of a Washington letter-writer a proof that Cien. Pierce doe not favor the work in question, or the opinion nf two of hi constitution:1! advisers? But let us look al thia matter in another point of view. Either the statement of the Herald, so much relied on, is true, or it is erroneous, if it be, as we have very little doubt it ia, of the latter character, then there is an end of it. But, suppose it lo be true. What then? Why, we should have this tule of the case that upon a great, im portant and, we might add, vital question, affecting deeply the interest of the whole Confederacy, and embracing in it scope a doctrine that has for upward of fifty years ben flooding the press, the hall ofCongress, and the whole land with discussion the President and hi Cabinet are at variance. If this be in, what is to be done with Ihe Pacific project. Secretary Davi ha pub licly and responsibly avowed himself to be in favor of it, as a Government mrmure. Secretary Guthrie has done the same thing whilst, on the other hand, neither the Presi dent, or any of hia other advisers, lias pub. licly and reHiisibly declared himself to be opposed to it. The wonls of the two Secre taries above named, have gone forth into the) country with all the prttlig of their high authority. They certainly may ho fairly construed by the people a bearing the Exec utive appro'') niil.iMihlieW ""''ljcted or umavuwed by the diattiUMau of Ihe Caliuief, if there be any. In the meantime, every day strengthen the belief dint there I no serious dis-cni i,u the rase, but that Davi and Guthrie when they delivered their Philadelphia speech es could not have considered themselves' a expressing opinion on o weighty a nialtiK in conflict with those of the President. It would have been a atrange thing (or the in. under the circumstances, lo have gratuitously taken the opportunity of declaring, in the term they did, their advocacy of the Pacific Railroad, which tlflfy must have known Would be, a it will be, a topic of general and vej. menl political controversy. Their peedVir relation with the President perfectly julify Ihe inference which has bcel extensively drawn, lhal he concurred with Ihern, al the time, in what ihey said and if, now, he I disagree with them, as slated by the Herald' correspondent, it I no evidence tnat lie mu so al first. But, without admitting the fact of the alleged disagreement, we see not how the rase is bettered by it, ll would certainly exhibit a difference and division among them selves lhal. Is irreconcilable with the continu ance together of the present Cabinet, Two ol thim are publicly, positively and formally commuted lo the Pacific Road. - They must, of course, advise, in council, to the same ef- lect. If their avowed opinion and their pub- position should be overruled by the Presi- dent and their colleagues, their predicament would bo such a to shake (lie confideoce of the people in their fitness for their elation, inasmuch. it would exhibit a discordancy exceedingly embarrating and detrimental to ihe nntinnnl inn-rest.
