The disco.ery of the great Southern Pas. iu the

road to the shores of the Pacific. will ultimately be set
down as one to the greatest discoveries of the nine
teeesh century, and its effects upon the commercial
prosperity of the world considered as important us
those which flowed from the discovery cf the passage
to India by the cape of Good Hope. It immediately
connects two fertile portions of one great continent.
and opens a safe and easy communication with China,
by which even Enrope itself is immediately benefited.
An overland mail, say, from Bay Francisco, to Boston.
would afford thermost direct means of communication
between China and Liverpool.

quirer of which Thos. Ritchie, Jr., his unfortunate
antagonist, was junior editor, contains the follow.
ing:—
"We bare transferred to our column., from the city
papers, the notices of that late fatal cutest' ophe, which
resulted in the death of Mr. John H, Pleusants, and
which has cast a deep gloom over this community.—
There ore few, probably, wh't deplore this event more
sincerely and deeply than he who writes these line s .
Would to God that it could have been ordered other
wise!
"We feel that this it not the time nor the oecnsion,
for us to go into any particulars in regard to t Id. most
unhappy oecni rence. We are restrained by consider

"We deem it proper, however, to ley, that our re•

whatever he may have felt himself forced to do, in
relation to this unfortunate event, he will return, at a

lof the land require."

un the unfortunate deceased and his ails iserai Mr.
Ritchie's protest is strong and unequivocal, but still it
was not beetled. In connection with this, the follow
leg, from the Richmond Compiler, puts the conduct j
of Mr. Plensant's in a still mote singular I•glr:
"In his dying moment ha stated, a list no ore had
before suspected, that be bad drawn the bull Isom one j
of his pistols after his friend had left him, the night f
previous In the comber, in order to diminish the dan•
gels of his adversary, whilst those to which be him.
velf was to be exposed, he must hive felt, made it
almost impasible to escape."
New Mode of //arbor Defenee.—We learn that a
committee"( the Horse at Waohington am now exam
ining a new mode of defence for harbors, invented by
Cop Lain T..yl. r. the well known inventor of the nub•
marine or dieing epperntna. It is ca Iled a sub marine
buttery, could be placed with little expense, and in
a short time, at the entrances of all ether harbors, and
would afford nine chances in ten fur destroying any
vessel that should attempt to enter. In addition to
this, we would mention a mode lately invented, and
now on experiment, of projecting cannon balls cckitir
hot in a continuous stream.
According to the description, the balls are placed
in a hopper or feeder, from which one at a time en•
ters a receiver to which a revolving, motion is impart
ed like that of a sling. After sufficient velocity is 111.1 s
acquired, the boll is projected into a tube, which serves
as a guide or direcior, like the barrel of a gun, and
thence against the object. With this machine, a show.
er of balls can be projected against n ship, with suf
ficient force and rapid succession sufficient to destroy
a vessel in a short time.
We hope that Congress, instead of talking and
wrangling about Oregon, and thus showing to the
British that we are divided. and can therefore be ea
sily intimidated, will speedily undertake to put the
country in a state of defence. Our sea coast and lakes
demand immediate attention of thin kind. It `l, idle
for us to talk of negotiating, while a poweful British
fleet should be hovering over our sea or lake coasts,
ready to fire upon our towns before any resistance
could be made. And it would be idle for the British
to think of intimidation, while we were fully prepared
to meet them.
Now we do nothing but talk, and wait fur the newt.
from steamship to steamship; and in the mean time,
the Ili itiAh, though talking, are preparing for action.
We believe that they are preparing to frighten, not to
fight. But this will encourage them till they do some•
thing that shall compel us to light. If we follow
ihcii example. and prepare CO fight while talking,the
areessity of lighting will b.rreVentCd, if we would

"The Nurseries are all very correctly managed,

to that of working upon suckers, which carry with
them into the graft all the diseases of the parent stock.

"GannEn SEEDS of the finest quality have been
scattered over the country from these grounds, and
may always be depended upon. The Seed Establish
ment of these Horticulturists is one of the most ex
tensive in the Union, and its reputation is well sus
tained from year to year.
"To obviate the chance of mixture of the farina of
the plants of the same family, they have established
another nursery, at a suitable distance, so that degen
ration cannot take place, and which secures to the
purchaser a "genuine article.': Knowing thus the
age, quality and process of culture of every plant, the
supply from their grounds is recommended with great
confidence."
