'But it is a bad sign, that a ' creed which was so hateful in this State as toibe almost under the bann of the law, which has always been regarded as the right arm of. depotfsm, should make the first use j of its recovered power to advance doctrines so dangerous to lioerty. lueyare not connnea to ct.

Surely our for eign brethern (for we hope they' are not Americans) cannot become so soon forget ful of "the privileges and jimmunities they enjoy in this land of freedom. They will hot forget that while they are protected in all their ri-ghts,.-tho! same are guaranteed to all denominations. They will not forget that while the free dissemination , of their principles is accorded to! them, that the connection of religion with politics is re pugnant to the jwho'le. spirit of our people. We confess we are not "prepared for"; this glaring and infamous spirit of intolerance .

NO EXCUSE FOR AN OFFENSIVE BREATH. I can see hd reason why a iman's .com plexion merelyhould exclude him -from the dining table, but ' I do see a, very good reason why he should !be banished' for not taking good care of j his teeth. . A bad breatji is such a. detestable' thing i that it might be a sufficient reason for not marry ing, person wijh otherwise agreeable quali ties? It is moreover perfectly inexcusable thus to transform oneself into a walking sepulchre. Nobody needs to have an ot fensive breath. A careful removal of sub stance between the teeth, rinsing the mouth after meals and a bit of charcoal held in the'mouth, will alway&,cure a bad., breathy Charcoal used as a dentifrice Tthat is. rub bed on m powder witl a brush) is "apt to ininm th ftnamel.' but a lumnof it held In j 7 t .zr r . the mouth two. ot three. times a week and slowly chewed, has a ' I wp"nderf ul power to preserve the teeth and purity the breath. The action is purely chemical. It counter acts the acid arising1' from " a "disordered stomach, or food decaying about the gums, and it is this acid which destroys the teeth A friend of ours had, when about twenty years of age, a front tooth that turned black gradually," crumbled . and broke off piecemeal. . By frequently ; chewing char coal the progress of decay, was not only ar rested, but nature set; vigorously to work to restore the breach )and jthe crumbled por tion grew agam, till Ithe whole tooth was as sound as before. lEvery one knows that charcoal is 1 an V antiputrescent. ,. It thus tends to preserve . the teeth . and sweeten the breath. Mrs.' Child, ' A megroe in Bostoh had a severe attack of rheumatism,, which finally settled in his foot.

We paid avisitj last evening to- the cor poration "cemetery, in the Fourth District, in order to satisfy oureelyes of the reality of the spectacle which was reported to be presented here. We1 learned on our way thither, that the1 authorities' had ceased to send corpses to this place, in order to give time to bury those nrhich already lay on the ground. ; This proved to be a prudent measure, as it was the only means by which ; the accumulation pf uEl)uraed coflins could be (lisposed of .1 As' we approached, the cemetery, we disceyered its location by the n'u'mberof . carriages which- - were passing and repassing, -lor some I distance before we arrived at the ga jthe odor was -quite offensive, and we we re warned bj persons wh were returning dtiflt would be insuf ferable 'within thesure-iyotwith-standina tie cessatifiv '.6' corporation. ofiihs, there Cad been: at least fifty sen(W there by private; individuals, which, s it was a pu blic ; cemetery, .could not vbe refused.-;.

To think that an. acre of ground around us, there were not less-than four hundred bodies, lying but a few inches below the.surface of the ground, in the very first stages of decomposition, deposited, there within the. last week. And this wit hin.the corporate limits of New Or leans, and within a few. minutes' walk of the most flourishing and beautiful part of our city. ; Is there too much reason to ap prehend that such a disposition of so many dead bodies will generate malaria and origi nate disease that will, involve our whole f populalion acclimated or' unacclimated We do not-say whose tault it m, Ave are in no disposition jit such a time of gloom and. distress, to indulge in strong feelings Or denunciations ot public ofhelais ; and, if we were so 1 inclined, the utter .want of system and organization, of clearly and is tinctly ; marked dutiei and functions, for those entrusted with the Police of the city, in our system of city;,' govcrrfmcnt, would restrain such manifestations n our part.. ; But,, 'considering -the; emergency of the occasion, the great responsibility devolving upon those whom the jeople have entrust ed with the protecti :at of the lives, the health, and "prosperity pf the citizens, we believe; that there -is iio functionary who will ; not-be justified, nay, applauded, for assuming the necessary powers to supply whatever-deficiency there may. be in, the law," in meeting the demands of this present amicting visitation. . : --; - tTT 1 ' .1 vejtaKe pleasure m saying ;tna.t. ins Honor: the-Mayor, was on the .ground at this cemetery, superintending and hastening tne woi-k oi interments.

I, however, yield to no one n zeal for the advancement of the cause Rof agriculture, and its elevation as a scuige to the true dignity to which its importance entitles it. -: . " ; If is always a source of pleasure to fee to dwell upon the elevated character, of flie calling of a farmer, d on whatever is con nected with increasing1 the fruitfulness Jof the Soil. The glob on which wfe live iisy literally be called our Mother Earth. Frim its bosom every animal that lives drawsts entire &nd continued subsistence ; and me. food for their support is newly prepaid every year,' so that were the earth to Jiil to produce for a single season, and, the exit ing snpply of food be .distributed alike to all, every animal upon it would neccssaly perish. We look, back with wonder jpd astonishment to the miracle by which a po pie were formerly supplied" with" quails; aid manna in thewilderness, and too freriuet- ly fail tp reflect that we are annually bMf cle- every way equal in grandeur and bene ficence by the same Almighty Being jH t j "Who spreads a common feast for all thatKyes," In the language of the poet- -; .. ; ; " AHwelnij tnirh, but,'aeeii no-flttlTS ' 5 All is miracle in vain.

The farmer, by increasing the fertility, of the earth, increases the means of life, land hence of enjoyment. He thus: comers in measure, to co-operate with Deity , in I the diffusion of life and happiness around him, and as his calling is of a more noble nature,' so he is made partaker of a higher joy. ror the advancement or agricultural en terprise and spirit I. know of nothing hfore favorable than such exhibitions and gatfjer-J mgs as we have the pleasure of witnesi5ig here to-day. No citizen of Loudoun cojjld have examined the different varictiesl of stock, agricultural implements, fruitsid. vegitableL or seen the various useful; ar ticles of husbandry manufactured in ; the country, as harness, saddles, cloths, .blan-. kets,. &c., at this first exhibition, without feeling a glow of laudable pride fur his coun ty, and an impulse to still greater exertion for another year. I have, witnessed it with a pleasure that I cannot express. I had no previous idea of the extent to which manu facturing is carried on in your county. I knew "the Plough." was here, but was jig norant that "the Loom and the Anvil" were also. .And then the evidences' of industry and taste manifested in the ladies' depart ment; the neat decoration of the ; interior of the court-house ; - the appropriate posi tion pf the bust of "the Farmer of Ashland," crowned with evergreen ; the fine specfnfus of. bread, butter, preserves, jellies, cake, quilts, different articles of wearing appafel; j the beautiful herbariums, &c. deserve a commendation which I feel 'myself inade quate .to bestow. ;I have seen "many ropms prepared for similar exhibitions, but never one that gave evidence of greater ta&fce than j this. : upon the-whole, 1 think the soeiety diave great cause for mutual congratulation in th-e euoooaa of- this their first exhibition, and. every reason, to hope for great an last ing benefits to arise from their Association. Much.has been said- latterly "of the frgold mines bf California and . Australia.M J3ut you have a mine of far greater consequence and" Value In -these fertile' lands. Taking a broad view of mankind, as constituting one great family, the-amount of labor re quired to be performed becomes in a meas ure determinate, being limited to jt what is necessary, to supply each lhcubcr-of this family with food and raiment, houses ? and 'fuel to protect them from the n eather, fa- cuities ior transport! g g tnem ana ineir pro ducts from place to place, reqairing ;good roads, railroads, canals, &c, aad the cleans of social; moral,"religious, and intellectual improvementj in which would be included the sciences and the fine arts, s c6ntribu ting to true refinement,-and thri to substan tial enjoyments.
