I fleet along, the empires fall, And the nations pass away, Like visions bright of the dreamy night That die with the dawning day. The lordly tower and the battled wall The lawn, the holy lane, In ruin lie, while I wander by, Nor rise from their wreck again. I come with age to the weary sage, And the lamp of life grows dim, No more its rays upon page Emldazon delights to him. I mourn the flight of the fleeting breath From youth in its golden prime. But Time is linked with decay and death And death is the Lord ot Time.

GEORGE TIL-SOT. A few 3'ears since, as Mr. Galaudet was walking in the streets of Hartford, there came running to him a poor boy of very ordinary appearance, but whose fine intelligent eye fixed the attention of the gentleman, as the boy inquired, "Sir, can jou tell ine of a man who would like a boy to work for him, and teach him to read?" "Whose hay are you, and where do you live "I have no parents," was the reply, "and have just run away from the workhouse because they won't teach me to read." The gentleman made arrangements with the authorities the town, and took the boy into his family. There he learned to read. Nor was that all.

He soon acquired the confidence of his new associates, bv faithfulness ami nonostv. lie was allowed the use of i Ms friend's library, and made rapid progress in the acquisition of knowledge. It became necessary, after a while, that George should leave Mr. Galaudet, and he became apprenticed to a cabinet-maker in the neighborhood. There the same iutegriiy won for liim the favor of his new associates.

To ratify inclination for study, his master had a litile room finished for him in the upper part of the shop, where he devoted "his leisure time to his favorite pursuits. Here he made large attainments in mathematics, in the French language, and other branches. After being in this situation a few years, as he sat at tea with the family one evening, he all at once remarked that he wanted to go to France. "Go to France said his master, surprised that the 'W contented and happy youth had thus suddenly become dissatisfied with his situation "for what "Ask Mr. Galaudet to tea to-morrow eve-nine," continued George, "and I will explain." His kind friend was invited accordingly, and at tea time- the apprentice presented himself with his manuscripts, in Englsh and French, and explained his singular intention to go to France.

"Tn the time of Napoleon," said he, "a prize was offered by the French Government for the simplest rule fur measuring plain surfaces of whatever outline. This prize has never been awarded, and that method I have discovered." He then demonstrated his problem to the surprise and gratification of his friends, who immediately furnished him with the means of defraving the expenses, and with letters of introduction to Hon. Lewis Cass, then our minister to the Court of Frauce. He was introduced to Louis Phillippc, and in the presence of the king and nobles and plenipotentiaries, his American 3-outh demonstrated his problem, and received the plaudits of the court. He received the prize, which he had clearly- won, besides valuable presents from the king.

He then took letters of introduction and proceeded to the Court of St. James, and took up a similar prize offered by the Royal Society, and returned to the United States. Here he was preparing to secure the benefit of his discovery by patent, when he received a letter from the Emperor Nicholas himself, one of whose ministers had witnessed his demonstrations at London, inviting him to make his residence at the Russian Court, furnishing him with ample means for his outfit. He complied with the invitation, repaired to St. Petersburg, and is now Professor of Mathematics in the Royal College, ur -der the special protection of the Autocrat of all the Russias.

A Fat Man. rA physician of Savannah sends to the Journal of that city an account of an unparalleled case of obesity. He fays "I must put in a slip, to give you a singular instance of death from the rapid accumulation of fat. We had a 3'oung maa residing eighteen miles from this place, who was one of the miracles of nature. At the age of twenty-two he weighed 265 pounds he continued gradually to increase in flesh until he reached a little over 600 pounds he was able to set about with tolerable ease and comfort to himself, and attended to his planting interest.

He had a fine estate, and looked after it with care and interest. Some four weeks airo. he commenced increasing in flesh verv ranidlv. and eained at first one and a-half pounds per dy, then it was found that he sained a little over two pounds per day.

I Nineteen out of every twenty of the Macks at the North command no more respect than the same number of sheep, and being left (o pursue their own inclinations, they spend their days in idleness and their nights In vice, depending on charity or theft for the! necessaries of life. We have traveled bun- died of miles through the S'outh, and testi- I fy tojlie fact that the slave lives better aud more comfortable and happy, in every res- pect than our worthless negroes. With here and there an honorable exception, the nc- groes of the North never aspire to become meeiianics, or even repeciauie laborers, they will always be found doing the lowest and most degrading drudgery, and all the money they obtain is spent fi rum, which prepares them for the poor bouse, the penitentiary and the prison. They are destitute of good breeding and learning, and a'l ambition to be honest and virtuous. We know that the elfare and happiness of the negro would be consolated, if he was taken from his state of freedom and sent to the South, and we doubt whether it would be less moral to seize every mother's-son-on-'em and sell them into slavery (appropriating the proceeds to the payment of our State debt) than it is to let them remain here half-fed, half-clothed, uneducated, leading a life of misery and destitution.

At all events we are satisfied something must be done with them and that before many years. They must be either cleared out, or the lives and property of our white citizens will be rendered unsafe. The evil is daily increasing, and we may as well meet it sooner or later. The longer we postpone, action in regard to it, the more difficult it will be to accomplish the desired end and rid ourselves of the growing evil. As to the Abolitionists, and "abolition philanthropy," the latter is a cheat, and the former a set of miserable hypiocrits.

There is not an honest man among them They arc as great vagabonds as the negroes, and more unprincipled, becauso they have the intelligence to know what is right, but lack" the desire to pursue it.

Mr. Marsh, the United States Minister at Constantinople, is one of the best Orien-tar scholars of the age, and we are informed is a great favorite with the Turkish authorities. Not long since he returned to Constantinople from Athens, where he had been sojourning fur nearly twelve months, to arrange some dittienltics which had arisen between the Grecian Government and Dr. King, au American missionary. Soon after he resumed his post at the Turkish capital, he had an audience of the Sultan, being accompanied by the Captain and officers of the Levant shop-of-war, and by Capt.

Walker of the United States Army. The company was received by the Sultan in a distinguished manner. -Mr. Marsh addressed him in a speech, couched in appropriate language, in which he assured the head of the Oitoman Empire that the sym pathies of the Pre-ident and people of the I tinted States were with him and subjects in their resistance to the designs of Bussia. The Sultan expressed much gratification at Wing apprised of the good fecl-injr of the American Guvernmeiit and peo ple towards him and his subjects, and de- elared that it wilt always do his wish to con firm those amicable relations.

A correspondent of the New York "Sunday has the following reference to coiiiiensalioii for injuries iu- flicted by Railroad mismanagement: "What is the estimated valne of life on the Railroads of the United States 2 Here it is rated For an accident on the Mth of March, on the Lancashire and York shire Railway, the executors of one killed man claim XI 5,000. A mill owner who lost a leg claims 10,000. A Mr.

The railroad company resist, of course, and the amounts will have to be determined by suiis at law at the Lancashire Summer Assizes now coming on at Liverpool. Very probably, before trial, they will be compromised for some 30,000 or so. U'rom the Justin Tera) Slate Gazette, Sept.3. Texas Railroads.

We have, from an entirely reliable source at Houston, very encouraging news in regard to the Galveston and Red River Railroad. A letter to the editor of the "Gazette," dated August 20th, says "We have this day concluded a contract with Gen. Qrville Clark for the construction of a first class Railroad and all the necessary depot? at Houston, to cost $25,000, a machine simp, six passenger ears for sixty persons, twenty freight ten cattle cars, ten platform carsr all the necessary wood-sheds, water-tanks, with two twenty-ton engines, three sixteen-ton engines, and heavy or rails: fifty miles to be finished and a train shall 'pass over that space in one hour, for the sum of 19,000 per mile, part in cash and the balance in stock and bonds of the company. Sixteen miles are also contracted for to be finished acd in running order by she 1st of August next." This contract, as we understand it, is to comprise the main trunk road, and from its terminus will start the branch to Austin, the main road to continue on between the Bra-Z03 and Trinity, to intersect the Pacific road at the parallel of 32 de. This we eather from an article in the '-TcleoTanb." of the zoiu uit.

liiat paper says "We understand that the company" intend to extend the main trunk of the road, aTcc- one nunureu or one Hundred and twentv miles, in a northerly direction, with a view of u'tlmattly connecting it with the great Pacific road, which will, in all probability, extend through Texas on or near the parallel of 32 degrees. Indeed it would be impossible to induce northern capitalists to invest funds for the construction of this road, unless it were to be connected with the great, road that is to connect the Pacific with the Atlantic. The branch extending from lions-ion, or 1 the navigable waters of Galveston Ray, will enable the contractors to transport all the materials required for the Pacific road directly from the port of Galveston to the main road on the parallel of 32 degrees, and the distance from Houston, to the main trunk of the Pacific in a direct line will scarcely exceed 130 miles. There is not a single large river on the whole route, and the surface ascends so gradually from the coast to the parallel of 32 degrees, that the expenrjCfvirdingWill- Scarcely, exceed $1,000 per mile." The writer of the letter from which we first quote above say3 the Legislature take such action as is required in order to enable northern capitalists to push these works forward, we shall- have them extended as fast as the labor can be performed. But Texas must take the initiative she has it in her power to secure the great highway to the Pacific, and I trust that one of the first acts of that body will be to cause a survey to El Paso." This we deem unnecessary, as that portion of the route is already well known to bo without obstructions to the speedy and cheap construction of a road besides it has been surveyed at least twice, and that is the true reason why the survey of the United Sfates Government was ordered to begin at El Paso and go west, instead of commencing on Red River.

Gen. Rusk and Gen. Clark both, we understand, express it as their opinion that no survey of this portion of the route is at all necessary. In regard to the Austin branch ot this road, the writer says "We shall direct our road to the Rrazos in as direct a line as racticable. It is the intention of General Clark to send out at once a full corps of engineers to go on the route.

The sixteen miles added to our contract win go on in the direction of Anderson. As soon as we can get a competent agent, we shall send him on to Washington county and to Austin, visiting the intermediate counties. If the citizens of those counties will subscribe $300,000, the road will be taken to Austin, or with $500,000, ii will reach San Antonio. We shall endeavor to get the Legislature to allow a permanent bridge across the Brazos; if we can do so, one ot the greatest objections to that line will be' overcome. When across the Brazos, our progress will be rapid and easy "The President oi the road win leave ior the Brazos on the 24th instant, to anora the planters there an opportunity of lend- 1 4 3 ing to this great woik.

A Whaeli at JTIiserss. In a chapter on life assurance, which appears in Blackwood's Magazine for Jnly, the writer is somewhat severe on the wealthy men of onr day, who are but too scrupulous, in their observance of the maxims of "Poor Richard." He says who desire to be absolutely rich may, if their lives are spared long enough attain that object by s-rdid and paternal pinching, and rigorous cbstiiK-uc from the enjoyments, hospitalities, and charities of existence. It is not difficult to accumulate gold if a man has courage to be an Elwes indeed, cases are almost daily cited of apparent paupers, amongt whose rags and gallimaufry iu the coi ner of some fetid cellar extraordinary hoards are discovered. No one, however, but a mere caitiff would addict himself to this kind of metallic accumulation; and it is noticeable that the practice is chiefly confined to dried -up bachelors, who have either no relatives to succeed them, or who hate their relatives cordially.

(That Gen. Clark will build this section of the road in strict accordance with his contract, no one will for a moment entertain the remotest doubt.) Cannot the counties of Washington, Fayette, Bastrop, and Travis, subscribe and pay the sum of three HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS to FCCUre the completion of an enterprise upon which depends their future growth in wealth, population and general prosperity? The idea that they cannot, is preposterous.

We have no hesitation in exnressins it as our belief, that the amount to each county) can be obtained by an active agent in one week's labor in the several counties named. We see that the main trunk of this road is to be run up between the Brazos and Trinity, and connect with the Pacific road at or near Fort Graham this gives the go by to the valley of the Colorado. Our only hope, then, for Railroad facilities depends upon the extension of the Austin branch to this city, or upon the progress of the Ilarris-burg road, now completed a distance of 18 1-4 miles. The time for action has arrived. Let the people in this valley act wisely, liberally, promptly.

If the Legislature will give us aid, as ave hope they will, so much the better but if they wiil not, let us resolve as one man that the road must, can, and SHALL be. built, and wait not for the Legislature to act, but let the work of raising subscriptions be at once commenced as if we looked for no aid from any quarter, remembering that "Hercules" helps only those who show a disposition to help themselves. THREE FWGERED The editor of the Stockton (Cal.) Journal does not doubt the correctness) of the report of Joaquin's capture, though he has no further particulars than were our readers. The robber, who is reported to have been slain in company with Joaquin is undoubtedly the same fellow to whom we alluded yesterday. The barbarities which Three-Fingered Jack, with his companions, committed at the early period in the history of American affairs in California, which were mentioned incidentally iri our notice of the rascal yesterday, were inflicted upon two Americans, a Mr.

T. Cowin ami Fowler. The account of their murder was pub lished in tire local papers "of this plaea, mi ls 10. It is substantially as tallows "Two or three days after the towh of Sonoma was taken by the Bear Flag party, and the proclamation issued by Win: B. Ide, the two young men above named started to go from their homes near Sonoma, to Bodega.

On their way, not far from Petaluma Creek, they encountered a party of native Californians, all armed, by whom they were taken prisoners. They were kept guarded until the next morning, when a council was" held to determine their fate. A swarthy New Mexican named Padilla, and a Califor-nian called Three-Fingered Jack, were most active in denouncing the prisoners as only deserving of, death, and their counsel prevailed. The uufortunate young men were stripped, bound to a tree with the lariats of their captors, and for a while the iuhuruan wretches practiced knife throwing at their naked limbs, and in the manner that savages are said to torture their victims at the stake by experiments with their tomahawks. The men prayed to be shot.

The fiends then commenced stoning their victims. One stone broke the jaw -of Fowler. A miscreant advanced, thrust the end of his riata through the mouth, cut an incision in the throat, and made a tie by which the jaw was dragged out Ihe perpetrator of this horrible cruelty was Jack. Cowin, who had fainted had the skin stripped from his arms and shoulders. Both men were now slowly despatched with knives.

Nothing can exceed the sufferings in the slow torture to which they were subjected. Pieces of flesh were cut from their bodies and crammed into their mouths. They were eventually destroyed by cutting out their bowels. It in some degree mitigates the painful emotion with which these deeds are contem plated, to. know that vengeance was sure and swift on most ot the murderers -a party of bear hunters rode out of Sonoma and fell upon a company commanded by De la Torre, which the murderers had joined.

Although three times their number, the hunters rushed upon them with their rifles and knives. Eight were slain and several wounded. Three-Fingered Jack was taken prisoner afterwards, but managed to make his escape. He has at last, we hope, paid the forfeit of his villainous deeds iu California. Sacramento State Journal.
