In the present state of things in the United States, I do not think a genera!, or even a very extensive hlave insurrection, is possible. The indispensa ble concert of action cannot be attained. Cho slaves have no means of rapid com munication; nor can incendiary free men black or white supply it. The explosive materials are every where in parcels-; but thero neither are, nor can be Supplied, the indispensable connecting trains.

The eagerness to cast blamo on old England in tho one case, and on New England in tho other, docs not disprove tha sameness of the two things.

I am quite aware they do not state their case precisely inthis way. Most of them would probably say to u, ''Lot us alone, do nothing to us, and say what you please about Slavery." But wc do let them a lone have never disturbed them so that, after all, it is what wo say, which dissatisfies them. They will continue to accuse us of doin;, until we oeaso saying. I am alto aware they have not, as yet, iu terras, demanded the overthrow of our Free State Constitutions. Yet those Con stitutions declare the wrong of Slavery, with more solemn emphasis, than do all other sayings against it; and when all these other sayings shall have been si- lenced, tho overthrow of theso Constitu- tions will bo demanded, and nothing bo lelt to resist tuo aomand. it is notumfr . to tho contrary, that they do not demand the whole of this just now. Demanding what they do, and for tho reason thoy do, they can voluntarily stop nowhere short of this consummation. Holding as thoy do, that Slavery is morally right, and so cially elevating, they cannot ceaso to de mand a full national recognition of it, as a legal right, and a social blessing. Nor can we justifiably withold this, on any grouud save our conviction that Sla very is wrong. If Slavery is rjght? all words, acts, laws, and Constitutions a- gainst it, arc themselves wrong, and should bo silenced, and swopt away.

The Legislature of Virginia, at its late session, granted a charter to the 'jPanhandlt- Rnilroad," with tho right to bridge tho Ohio at Steubenville. For ten years this charter has been sought for in ain, Wheeling having ar rayed herself against it because of the in jury whioh it threatened to her trade. The grant of this charter is esteemed a matter of serious importance to New York. It insures the prompt completion of the line forty-three miles between Pitts burgh, Pa., and Stubenville, Ohio, seven miles of whioh lies in tho well known "Panhandle" of Virginia. The Monon gahela river will be dridged at Pitts burgh, and, as already stated, the Ohio river at Steubenville. When this link is complete there will exist between New Yo?k and tbe West and the Southwest, the shortest and most unbroken line that can be constructed. It will run thus: From New York via tbe New Jersey Central to Easton; thence toHasrisburgh; thence by the Pennsylvania Central, the Panhandle, Pittsburgh and Columbu3 and Cincinnati line, to all important Western and South-Western points. Arrangements aro already completed by which passengers and freight pass by this line from New York to Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis, with but one change; and also to Louisville, St. Louis and Cairo, with but two ohangcsof cars. Theso changes Bimply take plaoo from car to car without any intermediate omnibusing or drivago. ggyAn old criminal was onco asked what was the first stop that led to his ru in, when he answered : "The first step wa3 cheating a printer out of two bears' subscription.

One bird store had at least 2,500 live Ca nary birds, each in its own little cage. It would seem impossible to give seed and water to each tenement and its inmate. Yet it is done, notprccisely in the way that one thousand locks in tbe State pri son aro turned, and one thousand bolts shut at the same moment. The cages are tied together, and an adroit birds feeder will put seed in tho box of each cage, and water in the jar very speedly. Ho will feed 1,000 birds an hour. "Theso Canary birds aro supposed by unsophisticated buyers to have oomo from Hartz Mountains, in Germany, via Havre, Franco, or down the Rhine to Rotterdam. I however, am of tho opinion that the millions are reared on the champagne districts of Now Jersey. A good oingor retails at Si: the wholesale prioo is 2,50. But thoy must bo males and singers.
