The Mercury takes the grouud, that those who continued to oppose and denounce the War, after it was begun, "were guilty of treason Such a limiting as this of independencekl thought, and freedom of action is,entirely st war with every principle of human liberty, and would interpose a despotism of the most galling kind. If OM is wring in as inception aced commence ment, the mere fact that it is waged does not make it right- No govertunent hu a right to require of its citizens to violate their consciences, Or to hold their peace when they conceive their puha° see ' ovation. involving them and their country in a groat crime.

The most brilliant sneceases, how: ever they may blind the eyes of the masses, by. . the very glitter of their greatness, can never loaner tip injustice or oppression. Was Mr. 'Pitt a traitor to England when he de. flounced the War of the Revolution, on the hoer of Parliament, in the strains of his burning elo quence!

Doubtless the Autocrat would adopt the morals of the Marconi, and pronounce him such, but would he not be a martyr, rather than a traitor to the iind of his birth If this code of morality obtains, where is the check to be found to die spirit of war and con view, however unjust and unholy f A vain gin. rious and ambitious Presideat eau easily iovol the nation :in *ar e and when his commenced, the 'man who presumes to call it in question is a trai ;toir ! :Even members of Congress, who are dele gated by the people to watch over their interests, and to plume the character of the country .un- tarnished, cannot speak their seetiments, cannot pro est against, wrong, cannot refuse to vote sup - plies, without being branded as traitors! mai gives a.stronger evidence of patriotism that hi who iota, to tell her of. her faults.

' With respect to the volunteers, the Mercury (rudest= a speech of Mr. Marsh,- not very dal . tering, we admit. Bat we think ho was depicting a clam, and not the mass of our citizen aoldiene— .. such men aiaideon Pillow, cud others which ev ery neighborhowl will afford, whom absurd antics Invite the satire of those who judge men by their ter a standard. A 'good deal of bad logic is daily emanating hem the press, in relation to tolerance and Intel, erance—yriwing out of the Case a( the asset preachers.

If we understand him aright, antarronce attarJk the religious creed of another, and edpa Tor to show its enors, and itaiminous °fleets spot those who embrace it. Tolerance is to acquiesce inavery creed, so f ar as to let it alone, and to love its believers. Appropriately, there is DO such thing so tolerance intoleranlie in thin country. Tye Wholo people have a right to worship Gina as they please, or not to worship him at all, unrestrained by Govern , mental regulation. Toleration signifies the right of prohibiting that which is tolerated. No each right exists here, and there can, therefore, array speaking be no toleration. • But there is the most perket right guaranteed to every citizen to discusi every religious principle, creed, or usage, ad Mama; either in the pulpit, the • forum, or the mai: There is no in tolerance in this, for all enjoy the same privileges. Any limitation of this' righ! , would be a violation both of political and religions freedom. How fat a num hu a right to block up the • streets, is a municipal regulation, into which we do not care largely to enter! No MUM has a right to oh tmele his opinions upon me,- and when os public place is occupied; which l'have a right jo pans, by a person who make; it his business to Blunt my opinions, it then becomes an evil against which I have a right to complain. Also, in all Mu 'tangoes in public, appropriate language should be chose', that the feelings of the passers by may not 'be wounded or shocked by blasphemy or Obscenity. *pond thii, we conceive no one has ia right to complain, howevez much •his opinions or creed may suffer.

The Artesian Well at Grenelle, in France, al .tained a depth of 802 yards deforo a sufficient sup ply of water could be. obtained. Some idea of the difficulUes encountered by the projectors may be had from the fact that, in May, 1831, when the boring had extended to a depth of 418 yards, the hollow tube, with nearly ninety yards of the bor. ' ing rods attached to it, broke and fell to the bottom or the hole, and a was necessary to extract the broken parts before any further progress could be modern work of fifteen month's - duration.— Similar occurrences frequently impeded the la bors of the workmen, until al length, in February, 1841, the rods soddenly descended several yards, and in the course of a few hours the water rose 'to the surface and discharged itself at the rate of 600,000 gallons per hour. At toe extreme depth of 602 suds - the mercury in the thermometer rase to the heigth 'of Si degrees, and it is supposed that if the boring had been conted to the depth of 1,000 yards, the temperature of the water would' then have been 104 degrees, and immediately ap plicable to bathing establishments and other places where warm water is required. Several successful efforts have been made in the United States to sink artesian wells, of which the most prominent is that now in progress at Charleston, South Carolina. At the last report, the boring had reached the depth of nine hundred feet without an adequate supply of water taming been obtained. Tut Nerr Crams—The Secretary of the Board of Census at Washington replies, through the Re public, to the 'cum addressed to the Board by Professor De Bow, Chief of the Louisiansßoard of Statistica—a department, by, the way, which no other State has, but it is to be hoped the exam ple will be followed. It appears that the Board has yielded the plan, at one time contemplated— and to which the Professor objected ea liable to do injustice--of leaving' out of the blanks sent to certain States questions which are inapplicable to the productions or other resources of those States, and to supply their . phMes with such as were.— Questions relating to slaves Would be just as in. applicable in Massachsetts no inquiries concerning marble and lead would be in Louisiana. Bence it was epparent, that the blardai. being uniform, many questions would be useless in the different States, and something loot in all, as the law does not permit the Board to multiply questions to make amends for sectionally aimless ones—it be ing limited to 100, The plan has been abandon ed, however, beetutothe time is not autricient to enable the Board to acquire the necessary Woe. motion. The Secretary says— '"li is certainly Complimentary to the State - or Louisiana that she has been the tint: to establish a regulu "(Mice of mad it to to be hop ed that the exertions She is making to.secore the co-openttion of the other States in this great work will not be without their inductice.

We take the Wowing interesting extracts I am tensible that the description of nothing in more vapid that of the ruins of antiquity. Words here fail of their office, becaime generalities con. fuse and details deaden. A Fangio glance of the eye Is worth a million strokea of the pea; and shall attempt no formal delineation of Baalbec , an it is. I have seen many things that the world calls wonderful; but by none have my feeling , been wrought op to• such intense astonishment and admiration as by the ruined •Temoles of the Son and the Gods of Helliapolie I could hardly believe that mortal. were the framers of such eau ' ?endows grandeur and such exquisite beauty.— ; The triglyphs and scrolls, and fresco and feu. worm, and wreaths nod delicate tracery and fret ' work, seemed like thy product of fairy fingers, while the colonel pillar. and walls were alma. ready the labor of the same giants that piled Peli ' on on Our, Earthquakes, demolition, and decay have busily done their work, and the ground was piled high with splendid roles; yet large portions of both edifices hadisurvived the — dhocks of vio lence and the wastes of time, and still towered atoll in all their original glory. Every pillar of the large temple was computed of three stories, each 20 feet in length, and 21 feet in eircumference, and high up In the wall, 25 or 30 feet above the fouadatien, were solid blocks of hewn stone, 67 feet in length, 14 in breadth, and 9 in Ihickness. The masonry, tremendous es was its scale, was yet molt regular and perfect. How these huge messes of rock were trans ported tram their original quarry, a mile distant, and elevated to their present position, completely battled our comprehension. We ware almost driven to the belief of the natives of the district, that magic wan the only means. There ruins are doubtleas of two eras, n part being no ancient as the days of Solomon, and a r. part dating on further back than the reign of the Emperor Antonin , Pi us.llßut it is impossible to determine precisely how much belong. to each period. Roth sacred and profine history are similarly silent respect ing sheen mighty structures. Boast Be we stay of the superior power and skill of our modern civilization, there stands, and will stand forever, on the Syrian plain of Saalbee, a proud monu ment of the past 'which mocks at our vanity and defies our emulation. -- Leaving Bathes the next morning, we stopped for a while at the quarry, which lay on our road, to indulge our wonder on gazing at a smoothly hewn block, twenty three yards long, more than four yards wide, and nearly tour .d a half thick, weighing, as is estimated, 1,135 tons, and just ready to be transported to the distant temple., Dit-V...setiti. A ride of n day and a halt through a country constantly alternating between great fertility and perfect bareness, brought us to Damascus, the QUeen of Eastern cities. Its first view was one of there pictures that live fnrever in the memory. For the last ( tract, mles we had been riding over a sandy hilly oppeessed with heat and fatigue. Suddnly • f ro de joie (KIM our Arab advance guard saluted our ear.. We at once knew that it hailed our destination; and pessiitg on to the brow of in. hill,the scene to once burst upon us in all its striking effect. Below us was the plain of El Chola, stretching northwards and southwards as far as the eye could reach, and bonded one aide by an undelative range of bills, and on the other by the anorsecrested ridge ofthe Anti•Lhanue The plain was one vast expanse of aridity, save where the Bormila shot through its flashing wa ters. In its =dm waved a grove a score of miles to circuit, and luxuriant with every tree an East ern min can warm Into life, rom the lowly pomr grante, with its VeimilliOn petals to the stately palm with its proudly nodding plumes. Inlaid was the city, like a pearl set in emerald, its domes and minarets glieteseng under the noontide son, sad every thing mantled o'er with the enchant ment that distance always giver to the view of an Oriental city. Hastening on, we ninon passed the city gates, end slowly made our way among the astoniehed people, through streets and baeaere"' until we finally entered the "street called Straight" of Apostolic memory, and reached the house of one Den:mote., a Greek, where we are now no. foaming. - Datuascue has a population of stout 122.000. of which about 12,000 are Syrian Chases., 3,000 Jews, and the remsinder Mahomemne. The city lost last year quad a fraction a; its p.diulation by the cholera : no Ina than 21,000 were nWept off in twenty five day.. I have now been here tom days, and the time has been to me one of the live liest *merest and celoyinere. I here for the first time see genuine Eastern life, uncontaminated by contact with Europeans. The barnari. sire richer, the people are more pietureequely attired and lox withy dd, en every thing is more redolent i Oriental merit than in any other place I have visited. The inhabitant* excel in bealty, and especially in clearness and parity of complex ion. No people in Europe have wittier ormom delicate skin., and I was at oneestrurk by the (Oct because 1 had always before nee:Si:lewd the turban with a swarthy visage. No city is vo well supplied with water miDarnarens. The Barad a as it enters toe city walls. is south:tally divided into six ehannels, which are made to enrich every house with foun tains and to send life and twenty ihr 'itch all the surrounding vegetation. 'roe turrets are narrow but uniformly paved, and have elevated walks on troth sides for toot pa•nenvere. No vehiele of env kind in ever seen, and but few camele or inner beasts of burden. The lonises are of 1.1.13, plan. teed with a greyish cement ; Wry are '2 or 3 stn' new in heightelat roofed, and their exterior present,. , only a hare dead wall, relieved here nod there by a low unseemly door, and perhaps a Iratieril win , dow. Bob let on glaece at the interior, inking, on we justly nay, the house in which I nom am a. a .pecimen, as all are built after the same pattern i Coming from the street throughout on arched pee -1 age, I find myself in an open court. route 00 feet aquae,re flagged with marble aim mosaic. In the cen tre Is an elevated reservoir, S feet by 12, constant ly led with living water, and shaded by vines and orange, lemon and pomegmeate trees. The high stone walls which enclose the court are elliptic' with paint in bright tri.oolors; they are indented byspaciousmattedand divanedialcovearind pierced with many doors and windows, opening into the varieties halls and chambers of the house. The principal rooms are planned much like the ancient Greek *skims. .The door from the court admits you into a square space some 15 feet in breadth, paved with marble and inlaid with Knottier of pearl, and having in its centre a large perennial marble enclosed fountain. On three sides of this square, and elevated about two feet above it, are estrades, each nearly as large as the area. They are divi ded from it by arches of beautiful farm and work manship, and are funsfahed with elegant seat. and divans. The windows are either of stained glass, or to draperied with rich curtains. The walls are provided with shelved niches for vases of water, sherbet, and dowers ;. and are painted to a certain height in Intimation of parti-colored marble, and further up with an:seem. tables of dowers, fruits .and emblematic devices. The ceiling which is at least 10 feet above the floor, is panefiedand beauti fully pictured io the Eastern style. Every thing is on the most extensive scale, an Oriental mansion usually occupying three or bur time. as much ground as a European. The rent of such a boom is only about 1600 piasters, or eighty dollars a year. With Captain Hill and an enures of the-Brutish Corafinte, I visited yesterday one of the richest Jewish families of the city. Passing from the greet through a long vaulted archway, we enter ed. the court, which, no usual, was posed with marble, and ornemenwith fountains a nd fruit trees Here we were received by the family. First, the mister of the house, a gentleman atmut thirty yeses of age, with keen eyes, l'ght com plexion, black beard and mustaches, and attired with a white violent, and a light silk robe, secured by a 'nth. Next was a young Rebecca of e ighteen, (I say next, for she wean( merles the nestle eliim ' my attention, being a bachelor) with rich brunette complexion, with full fair forehead, eye brows shaven into a perfect circle and colored with Kobel, dark limped eyes, stud! gloriously wreathed lips, and with a small and yet finely rododed figure. A ;aunty velvet cap, bordered wlthe broad fillet of rose diamonds covered her head; and her silky ' brown hair hung behind in long :braided plaits, 1 each of which wan decorated at the extremity by a gold aequin. A green, loose sleeved silk vest, with its front just open enough to show the silk ! tunic beneath, reached down to her waist, which was girded by a beautiful silk Rash: Full houses, of colored silk, tightly gathered at the ankles, white Mocking. and yellow slipper*, completed her cos. tume. Lastly, the wife of our hoer, a beautiful lady of some 21 years, and an eldery matron, his ! mother, both were attired in much the ...TIE style as the damsel, hut with greater tiOnplicity. Vi'• duly made our raleam., and were forthwith usher ed into a spacious and most elegnot saloon. A white linen enshnitn, lying directly on the door, bordered it on all sides, on this, according to Eastern map, we all took, at proper distances our reclining preetione Such attitudes and sod ' , grace! Neater himself would have sworn the .0110 was laughable- Coffee, sweetmeats, and Turkish pipes were brought, and through our Amb inter• prelate we cseried on s lively ennvernittion, which I have no room to describe. In due tune, we took our leave, with ell this ceremony Oriental etiquette retilliren. I also called yesterday upon the celebrated Syrian Physician, Nistaki, who has lately left the Syrien Catholic Church, and is iiiiw with wonderful power sustaining a controversy with the Patriarch, and whose atone is, doubtlem, fa j !Mbar to your religtous readers. 1 (mind himat. ad bare footed on the floor, with no Arabic B ible , by. his aide, and penning on a cushion before him I the law paragraph of a new letter. Ida is about 50 years of age, has large lacatient eyes, a glorious I beard, and one of the moit'idrnificent heads I ever beheld. He rese and received me with the greatest courtesy. Through an interpreter, I had an hour's conversation with him, on various sub recta, and thee left him, ecarcely knowing which to admire most, his profound keening or ' his lolly-etteneetness of spirit. I was much struck at the coincidence of his opinion of Mehemet with Carlyl'a Mahon:let, he mud, was no impostor, but' au earned, thoughtful, deep sighted, though illit erate man, who had himself a conception of the true religion, but yet, to order to destroy the Idol ;try and corrupt superstitions of his native and was obliged to compromise in a measure his own sot:Motions, and temper the Mat to the taped. dos of hls countrymen. I cannot help believing that hlishriki will exercise an immense influence upon the religious future of Syria.

Edito” I requested last spring, in your paper, that persons having any new variety of the native grape, would do me the favor to for. ward me cuttings, that I might tem their quality boll for the table sod for wine. The 'communication was extensively republish ed 112 most parte of the Union, and the result was; that twenty four varieties were what me in Febrn• ;try and March last. I grafted them, and also planted cuttings. Most 01 the grafts see now in fruit, and from the wood and leaf; about cum fourth of them promise to be of superior quality. All of them are now in this vicinity but two—the Olmstead and Minor's Seeding. Both of these are Fox grape,. The fruit of the first Ihave not seen; the second is the best Fox grape that I have seen. The pulpit' unusually soft, for that &silly, and the grape remarkably sweet though it does not contain as much saccharine matter as some grapes Imo sweet to the taste., It la not a great bearer, though it beam uncoAboonly well for a grape of that class The Fox grape may Bever be valuable for a wine grape, except to mix with othem, to give aroma and flavor. I received cuttings of several . ... .. . . _ varletiea of Fos grapes, and the stem and leaf of most of them are so strongly fox, that they cannot be valuable. In my boyhood, I thought this grape the most delicious of all fruitaand I found some that bore a fair crop. The vine is easily distm • hilted, from all others. The leaf in like leather —thick; nod of a white color on the under aide, and downy, and the new wood covered with a hairy down, generally of a reddish cant. It is a great objection to if that the fruit drops on the ground as noon at it In ripe. I rank the common cloro no about equal to the Black Scuppernong o North Carolina, (the Muiscadine of the Yliminnippi,) .m which it appears that a superior, wine '. ade in North Carolina, by put log three pound f su..r to the gallon, and w•• 3: sold at four dol lan by the gallon; and from tiro thonsand to thousand gallons ere raised on an acre. Farther, a horticulturalist there tells as he also makes wine from the green grape; the same person who raises so large a quantity. Mr. Alves, of Kentucky, (formerly of North Carolina,) tells me they put from one fourth to one third of spirits to the gallop, and sell the wine from seventy five cents to one dot-. tar per gallon : a wide difference in price this.— The North Carolina Horticulturter seems learned in the manufacture of foreign wines, aahe tells us that one third of brandy is added to port, malmsey and Madeira wine. This will be news indeed to the European wine merchants. The_Black Scuppernong hear. from one to four lierrie on a bunch, and would, in times of war, if lead be scarce. be m valuable, even when fully ripe, as the Fox grape, for bullets. The White Scuppernong also hu a very small bunch, and ie. a better grape than the Black. But the akin is thick, and the pulp hand: it will never be valuable as a wine grape, unless to give to others must, aroma, and flavor. Our vineyards may have produced eight hund red, and probably one thousand 'gallons on an acre: but no vineyard has averaged three hone drcd for ten years. I believe ground with a mix ture of sand, or each.. will Vreely let the rains sink, will be legs subject to rot, and average double the crop produced. where the enbacil is a stiff clay. I shall be gratified to receive letters from all persons having new moieties of hardy grapes in their vicinity, describing the character of the wood and leaf, color, size, and quality of the fruit, du.— After importing foreign grapes for thirty pears, from all latitudes, I have never found one worthy of cultivation in the open air; nor do we require them. We have native grape. of Superior quali• ty, both for the table and for wine; and by raising seedings nom oar brat natives, and from • crews between them and the best foreign, we can greatly improve them. We have neglected our native grapes. Forty five yenta niece, I heard of a, superior grape in the garden of Mr. Zane, of Wheeling, found by him in a wild state on Wheeling Island. I sent for cuttings, and found the grape of no val ue I heard of a person in .Kentucky who had it, end that it proved of good quality. I obtained cut tings, and it proved to he the Vevay; or Cape t SrboYlkill Mowedel) grape. lam now estistied that neither was the Zane grape. 1, this miring, bad cuttings sent me from • woe got of Mr. Zane, •eme thirty years since, and which has never,gdt out of toe netzhbortimd, and which I doubt not w i ll p ro ve of superior quality. A native grape, of diffelent aroma and flavor, anion all regicide equal to the Catawba, would be worth millions of dollar, to the nation. If my eortespondents do not en, mme of the kinds rent me are superior. The origin of the Catawba is in doubt.

Cats ed., hirer, from which it derived its name. A scrape, precisely the same, is said to have been iliedovered in a wild state, a few years NOM in Perorylvania.

From We Philutelphla Dollar Nempaper To Destroy Drier.. iThe brier, as a plant, grows more luxuriantly in beech and maple land; and when the tibaber WI cleared and the sun has a chance for action, they grow very fast, so that, in a abort time, ,it is 1 th difficulty that they are kept down. In the . nog ofolli, I moved on a new farm, containing u 1 t o hundred acres and upwards, with about forty ft e acres improved, or partially so. There was a the time eight or ten crew completely grown to briers. I commenced operations on exult h If of it; I ploughed it thoroughly and planted to ro. By the time the . corn warrup ready for hoeing, the briers had completely overrun it. I hoed it and cleared it; and by the sehond hoeing it was as bad as ever. I then went over it the same way the third time. In fact,the more 1 hoed 1 and tried in destroy them, the faster they grew; l and by the time of harvestiog, they had grown I half as high as the corn. The vest apring I sowed it to oats, and was poorly paid. lit the time of harvesting, my bands were much torn and lacera ted by the briers, besides not having half a crop.- 1 then concluded to try come more efficient mode, 1 having become tired at endeavoring to subdue them by cutting. I then sowed the ground to clo ver. The briers came up as usual, bat looked sickly. The year following, I pastured it with sheep; and now the briers have almost become extinct. I have tried every mode in the way of cutting, and I am persuaded that it is labor lost.— I have tried matting in the dark of the moon, and in Almost, all to no purpose. lam of the opinion that clover is the bent mean. of getting rid of them, being quick nod profitable. J. R. K. Cuwrotto Co., ea., 1849. RIDWIEB ur F.orrox N. E. FAIMII.—We have no doubt that the briers were deatroyed more by the sheep than by the cloveri for they will not flourish where sheep run among them; yet the do ver had no excellent effect in inviting the sheep among the brambles. It is very common in egvi. culture! experiments to ascribe effects in wrong Causes; and it is the same in other science. Dur ing this season, we have eeett accounts of the-val uable effects of sulphur for cholera, but we nog need that it was given with charcoal; and we have no doubt that the charcoal wan the principal re medial agent, as it in excellent in diarrhoea, which usually attends the cholera, and causes a sudden prostration of strength. Sheep, alone, if induced by any grass, to go among briers, will cause their complete destruction; perhaps from oil in the wool. 10-De %PI mr's Livia Plus.—The astonishing de ,. ~,. i, great medicine seems to he on the in. ienw.
