Tho Post doubts ■ whether he con tell corn meal from wheat flour, and the Governor is therefore wrong for the 1 third-time.” .In the above extract, Mr. Garvin bos stated the-objeetions of tho Post to his appointment fairly; and, inasmuch as he does not deny them, - they are all admitted.

June 1, 1839 ° These admissions from Mr. Garnn himself are 'quite sufficient to justify the Post in all it has „ said about the appointment, and silence the ' ridiculous slang of others that our articles were attacks upon the Governor. As wc have said before, wa had no desire to attach the Governor, hor would we have mcntionod even the namo of Mr. Garvin, if we had not considered it incum bent upon us to condemn the slight notice that was taken of the wishes of the people of Western Pennsylvania in making the appointment referred Tho following paragraph from that sterling democratic journal, the Bedford Gazette, will show what disinterested men think of our re marks; PnrsBCBGU Flogb Ikspkctob.— The Pitts burgh Post does not relish the appointment of Mr. Garvin as Flour Inspector for tho City of Pittsburgh, and very respectfully asks him to decline the trust. We do not wonder at this. ■ - Mr. Garvin is a very clever mnn, made a quiet, unobstrusive member of Congress, is at home in his printing office, bnt possesses no more ca . pacity to inspect Flour than bo does to repair a Watch Of all men m the world, on Inspector of Flour should bo a practical man in the fullest sense of the term. By an inefhcient and inex perienced Inspector, not only the reputation but die pocket of the best Millers In the country may - -bo made to suffer severely. We should suppose that our friend Garvin would scarcely know the ‘difference between middlings and the Buperfme ' " Article, for the reason that ho has never turned ' iis attention to the subject- We were once en gaged in the Milling business ourselves, and felt the effects of an ignorant Flour Inspector, by whioh we were unjustly fleeced out of 60 cents a baml on a boat load of flour. We say un justly, because the same Inspector, on another occasion, passed two barrels of middlings os su perfine, baying been loaded in mistake with a lot of superfine flour, thus showing the utter in competency-of the Inspector. Snperfino floor he condemned* and passed Middlings l llow often our friend Garvin: might make this mistake wo ' are unable to say—bat we hope he will see the propriety of ashing to bo reUeved from a position about which he can know nothing, and by so doing; ho will receive the thanks of all the Mil lers that manufacture Flour for Pittsburgh in spection.-v. :• It is probable that Mr. Garvin will, consider the above remarks of Gen. Bowman ,another “at tack upon the Governor," and treat him as he has the Post. The General, however, has stood some pretty hard rubs in his time, as well as •ourselves; and we think ho can bear all that Mr. • Garvin will pilo upon him. If he cannot, we . will como to his aid. ES?*The article on the next Presidency in tho lastnnmborof the Democratic Hernia In favor of ‘ -Judge Douglass, says tho Newark Eagle, has given general dissatisfaction, as the writer might hare anticipated. Tho Review had no right to take the ground it has; and the effect of the ar ticle in question will be to.mjure the man whose .. interests it seeks te promote In .taking a position in favor of any par ticular person for the Presidency, the Renew meddles with a matter /with which it has nothing to do, except in a general way. Wc have al ways understood that tho objeot of its publica tion was a high, toned advocacy of the great pnndpte of democracy, without entering the political arena to battle for the advancement of any special candidate. Whon it departs from this high position on which .it was established, itmistakes its vocation; and although by doing so it may please a few, it will give serious of fcuco to the great body of ittf. supporters.

The character of the different languages of the globe ii extreniely diversfied ; 'but all, from the low guttural Jargon ;of the savage, to. the most refined writtehthaleot/answera thepurpose for which they were designed: The analogy existing between many has often been observed, bat not, perhaps, been investigated ; yet it is so great, that the two thousand dialects mentioned by Balbl, may probably be reduced to two or three hundred distinct languages. The struc ture, grammatical forms, &c., are so dissimilar, that no two languages can be found in which they ore tho Bamo. Change, the universal ac compattie meat of all, is rapid and great even in our own language, for it is difficult to under stand the writings of oar Saxon ancestors.— Change is not so great among savage nations, owing partly to tho few terms employed, and partly to the indisposition of tho savage to med die with what seems above his comprehension. Nevertheless their dialects are said to be compli cated and artificial. _ The mode of expressing the different meanings, or shades of meaning, of one word, also differs in almost every language ; it may bo expressed by accent, os in tho Chinese; by termination, as in Latin, or by its connection with other words, as in our own language. Given by God to man, to enable him to enjoy the society of his fellow, some branches far removed from their brethren, felt the necessity of employing new terms to des* ignato new objects, and these terms they either invented, or derived from other languages, and hence the analogy; and thus in progress of time they so completely changed their mother tongue, that they were not understood oat of their own country. Alterations in pronuncia tion, orthography, &c., not according to any fixed principle, butacoording to confused ideas of harmony, applied indiscriminately to the- whole language, produced innumerable irregularities, which deranged signification. As mankind advanced in civilization, they began to invent methods of preserving knowl edge and of communicating ideas to others at a distance,' and for this purpose they drew certain characters, wMob, by universal consent, were used to designate objects. These characters differed in form and name m different languages; although oven hero analogy can bo traced.— Among some nations emblematical figures were, and among some who have Utile intercourse with others, aro still used as the only means of writing. The purity of language being depend* ent on tho character of the people, from nations surrounded by degrading associations, we cannot expect any delicacy in this respect. Some lan guages are remarkably copious, and thus pecu liarly adapted to the necessities of man; some aro loud and vigorous, and best adapted to argument, as the English: others are proverb ially soft and tiowlog, and best adapted to rythm, os tho Italian. The Arablo is noted for strength and copiousness; nearly all Mahometan nations speak it—lt being the language of the Koran. It is written in a peculiar character, and seems to be tho source from which nearly all tbo east* ern languages aro derived; and indeed, many European tongues contain a great number of words- It has been remarked that the languages of barbarous and savage nations aro very often destitute of the Irregularities which distinguish those of civilized nations; change being less, this follows as a natural consequence. Ibe pro. gross of languago is unquestioned; but in (ho Introduction of improvements, Neologists have sometimes forgotten that they vero causing greater irregularity than existed before Another cause of change is the multiplicity of wqrds to express the same meamug, for the best of these being generally used, the others soon grow obsolete. Tho lovo of harmony led the early inhabitants of tho world to employ figurative expressions and poetry, to convey their me&uing effectively. No where is this more strikingly exemplified than in tho Bible: power, beauty and sublimity stand hero unrivalled, baft and melodious lan guages ore mostly without harsh aspirates and gutturals; vigorous one t abound in words whose very pronunciation, indicate strength and power. We have said tho pxnty of a languago is depen dent on the character of tho people who spoke it; we now assert that the whole character is powerfully influenced by the nature of the cli* mato; thus, In countries where the native* arc enervated by the warmth we generally find tho languago low and musical, tho words easily pro nounced, and mutes, liquid*, and labials abun dant t and in northern countries where tho in habitants are enervated by the coldness of the climate wo observe much tho aviso: but in tem perate countries wo find the language, like the very powerful There are so many cause* which iutluenco4ho strength, punty #nd, Indeed, the vhoU character of every language, that it is almost impossible to specify them; con quest, wealth, and immigration have materially changed the peculiar fratuwi of a*me. Con querors entering a subjugated country generally intermarry with tho inhabitants, —producing a mixture of languages as wcli as of blood; and a* the etiquette of wealth will not allow the use of a vulgar word, language is, in some measure, indebted to this for punty , immigration pro duces its effects in the same manner as conquest. One great cause of irregularity i* its corruption by the lower classes of &U countries ; in this ago of refinement, however, language ia, along with every thing else, becoming freed from its Im purities as ignorance (be cauao of so many, is disappearing like •* darkness before tho son. The diversity of language caused at the building of Dablo severed one of tbe strongest ties that bouud man to man, restrained the advance of bis knowledge, and crushed the rtsiug prospects of futurity, as a punlxhuiout of his egregious folly and impiety.

The snow In Boston still lingers in tho lap of February Tho Transcript eays that tho omni buses bad been using runners In that city for tfly-two days, up to Mouday last UuTuesday, however, some of them put on wheels. Col William Chriaty was unammoualy con firmed by ibe .Senate, as Purveyor of tho port of Now Orleans. Ocorge Rogers, of New Orleans, has boen appointed Consol at Lyons, tu place of Sir Hudcbcrt, of Mississippi. A late English paper estimates tba valno of Furs sent to the markets of tbo world daring tho year 1850, at $30,000,000. Russia alone supplied ot tills estimate Bkms to the valuo of $10,000,000. Fruit Urowtngi Tbo following hints from tho Lcnisvillo Jour nal may bo of advantago to many, not only in tho vicinity of Cincinnati, botln states adjoining. Wo therefore recommend tho article to our ag ricultural friends, knowing from observation that the remarks arc true: Mr. Georgo W. Qbort, of Pennington, N. J., has a peach orchard of 3,600 trees, nine years old, which has borno six full crops in sncces- Dion- Tbo orchard occupies firenfy acres of ground. 110 states that la 1810 ho oieoredfrom his orchard $B,OOO. It is sltnutcd an a high northern exposure, which keeps the trees from blossoming till tho spring is well advanced. Within twenty miles of this city, both in Bul litt county In this State and on tho knobs of In diana, there nro numerous orchards wboro tho fruit Is seldom if over killed. It Is only on theso situations where tho fruit esoaped the unparal leled frost of lost May. All tho peaches sold in our market last season were from tho orchards situated on theso hills. Theso orchards aro mostly composed of soodling varieties, of very inferior quality, planted by persons inexperienced In tho cultivation of tho finer kinds of Improved plants. Iu years when tbo orop Is abundant theso peaches are not worth the cost of sending to market. There are hundreds of acroß of these lands where tho soil and aitnationoroadmirably adapt ed to tho growth of tho peach, whioh can be bought ot low rates, and whioh should engago tho attention of enterprising fruit growers. A full orop might bo calculated on at least nine years in ten. In the Louisville and Cin cinnati markets a liberal price for good fruits may always bo oxpsoted. With a proper selection of varieties, there is no bronoh of cultivation,, ovon upon our best lands, whioh would bo more profitable. With tho Improvements in our roads, whiph the advanced condition of our country demands and which wo have reason to hope may be soon realized, and with wagons properly constructed, fino fruitß can be brought with safety to our markets. In those situations more remote from market, a fruit-drying apparatus may be constructed, at a few dollars’ cost, capnblo of drying from fiifty to one hundred bushels of fruit iu a week. In the Eastern States, theso frait-drying houses are becoming quite oommon. For tho furnaco, an ordinary box stovo ts oil that la required.— Tho fruit dried in this manner is of superior quality, presenting a neater appearance and is much cleaner thou when dried in the ordinary WB The large quantities of dried fruit consumed on hoard our steamboats, besides the enormous demand for hotel and family consumption, will always render tho business profitable, and par ticularly so when tho crop has been cut off In the leas favored situation. ngk. Among the inventions of modern sci ence, few confer a greater benefit on the commu nity than that contribution of Chemistry to the healing art, known as Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral.— In our advertising colmns may be found the evi dence of distinguished gentlemen, that shows their confidence in its poouliar efficacy to cure distempers of the Throats and Lungs.
