At the lop of the tivo printed pages are the arms of Persia, a lion rampant, bearing the sun on his head, resting one paw on a globe, and holding in the other a drawn sword, with Ihe motto The Lion of God it all-pou-crful.

One page is dedicated to the official news of Persia, but is rarely filled. The other contains general news, chiefly consisting of unimportant anecdotes.

A writer in the Knickerbocker speaks of the Mississippi Valley as 0110 that has no parallel on earth. Its length may be estimated at not less than two thousand five hundred miles; and its main brendth at from twelve to fifteen hundred.

He adduces many facts 10 p.ove, that it was once covered by nn immense ocean, and that the great change was brought about by repeated and long continued volcanic convulsions. He describes this Valley as not only tho most delightful, ihe richest, and the fairest portion of tho earlh, but capable of sustaining a population of 0 hundred millions. Bait.

The names of futir aclors are menlicned within the.compass of a few lines, as having lived in a stale of concubinage, two them with an actress, an two of ihem with another wo-man. Miss the Polyanthus sajs, was free from such crimes, though the circumstances of her birth arrd education greatly exposed her to become a -I victim.

Of tin correctness or incorrectness of the Polyanthus's slate- s. ments, we know nothing.

The following beautiful extract is the true spirit. Ohio will have no poor schoals. Her schools will common, good alike for rich and peer. What is good enough for the wealthy, is only good enough for ihe poor. Henceforth, let it be borne in mind, that by the Ordinance, Constitution and Laws of this mighty State, poorest men and women have an equal right to the education of their children with those who boast the grealesl wealth.

The laws providing such education and protection are wr.rlh protecting: "We utterly repudiate, us unworthy, not of freemen only, but of men, the narrow notion, that there is to bo education for the poor, as sueh. Has God provided for the poor a coarser earth, a thinner air, a paler sky? Does not the glorious sun pour down his golden flood as cheerily upon the poor man's hovel, as upon the rich man's palace? Have not the colter's children as keen a sense ol all the freshness, verdure, fragrance, melody and beauty ofj luxuriant nature, as the pale sons oi kings? Ur is it in the mind that. God lias stamped the imprint of a baser birth, and that the poor man's child knows, with an inborn certainty, that his lot is to crawl, not climb? It is not so. God has not done it. Man cannot do it.

Mind is immortal. It bears no mark of high or low of rich or poor. It heeds no bound of time or place, or rank, or circumstance. It asks but freedom. Il requires but light.

It is heaven-1 born, and il aspires to heaven. Weakness does not enfeeble it poverty cannot repress it. Difficulties do but stimulate its vigor. And the poor tallow-chandler's son, that sits up all night to read the book whichnn apprentice lends him, lest the master's eye should miss it in the morning, shall stand and treat with Kings shall bind the lightning with a hempen cord, and bring it harmless from the skies. The common school is common, not as inferior: not as tho school for poor men's children, but as the light and air common.

It ought to be the bestscuool. because it is the first school: and in all good works tho beginning is one half. Who does not knew the value to a community of a plentiful supply of the pure element of water? And infinitely more than this is the common school; for it is the fountain at which the mind drink, and is refreshed and strengthened for its career of usefulness and glory." Bishop Doanc.

It was reasonable lo suppose that such print as the Jackson Telegraph and Cfiitiii.il would attempt lo distort the remarks of the Editor of this paper in his letters from Washington. Such things are in character, and probably are forced at this juncture, upen the party papers of the administration, by the despeiate circumstance! of their cause. It should therefore neither CAci'e surprise nor anger, that sucTi should be the case. Indeed, we feel no resentment, but rather pity 5 and regard it as to natural flatter so much to be expected and utterly harmless that we can hardly find it in our souls to give it even a passing much less, to bestow upon it so much attention as lo correct its misrepresentations, which we deem sufTcjently palpable to receive an immediate correction from nil, in whose way it may chance to fall, The article in the Telegraph to which we refer is, indeed, such weak an4 poop Bluff, mixed up with such low, derr.agoguicul cant about the U.
