Where j then is the guarantee that the country vou love, and the institutions cherish, Will (survive the century now passing away? Is it found- in your national Senate with all its wisdom and integ rity even though for its eminence' in these respects it deserves to be 'styled an "assembly of kings ? Is it found in your aTmies, baptized in fire and blood, and covered with the laurels of an hundred victo ries ? Is h found in your.'navy,3 gallant -and invin cible, with its vessels of war floating triumphantly on every sea ? Is it found in your institutions of learning your improvements in art, your wide spread commerce, or yournatiowal enterprise and skill. Alas ! if j these were the only pledges of oar national perpetuity, the only safeguards! of our country's ' weal, we would soon be placed beside the ancient republics in the vast sepulchre of de parted empires. But I look npon my country in in another aspect. I regard America as a great Protestant nation. Not only as a magnificent and triumphant experiment of self-government by the peopi, but as the centrctand support of that vast moral rtJchineryj whose operations embrace the world, id this respect we stand alone, unrivalled and pre-emiue.nf, j Rome had her veteran legions, .her famous commander?, her military successes. Greece had her classic age, her jnspired orators, her immortal bards. Egypt jpoints you to her pyramids as the towering monuments of her for mer grandeur. But America rises above them all in uniting with their departed glories, her crowning "honor, her colossal religious enterprises. Am.3r.c 1 rises abov them all in having the religion ol the cross as a wall of fire, and the God of Ja cob as a rock oft defence.

The Athens, (Ga.) rhig of the 8th of. May says: We understand that Col. Mosely, a native of this State, and for many years, a resident of Wilkes county, but now an enterpri sing citizen of Mississippi,, has discovered a pro cess bv which a very superior article of cotton has ping can be made of the long moss so abundant throughout the Southern States. Av e learn that he is about securing a patent for his discovery, 'bnd that he has purchased machinery for a bagging factory which he is about;to establish at or hear JacksonMississippi. : . If this experiment should succeed as well asthe discoverer of the new pro cess anticipates, it will probably effect a revolution in the manufacture of this article which-enters so largely into the annual consumption of the planters of the; South as doubtless bagging manufactured of this material can be furnished much lower, while it is said to be far superior to) any now in use.
