General Jr.ct.aon. The following ia on extract nf a letter from tlie Editor of tlio Globe, recently on a visit tn tht Hermitage :-We found llic venerable pv (riot in mnch better health than I expected. He was out on & littlo excursion in In carriage, on nur arrival j and when he returned, he pave n Welcome as affectionate as he could have given a long-absent son. To-day wo went to church together, where the sacrament wan administer ed, lie was the first to lead the way to the ta ble, to which ho waa followed by a multitude of young men and women. I i!id not nee a single gray head at the communion but his own venerable, bleached, and bowed one. The preacher who made the sermon waa a bny, ns lie told me. ol twenty ; and the minister who offi ciated in the rites, (Mr. Ijtpsley,) did nt ser-m to be more than twenty-five years old. There was a full church, and a greater num ber of little children in the powsthan I evrrFaw in a church before; yet there was the most pro found quiet and reverence throughout the cer emony. The remarks of the officiating minis ter while administering the sacrament, wore exceedingly impressive, and with singular pro priety and pood taste, wholly exempt from the slightest allusion to the Ftrikinjr figure which contrasted so strongly with the younirand heal thy train led by him to the table. On our re turn from the church, I asked him if the house was built before the death of Mrs. Jackson ? lie replied that the church was built by her. and was her church ; that the last time she e er attended it was a sacramental occasion; that she was extremely solicitous that he should unite himself with the society, and that he was strongly inclined to do so ; but that his attitude then before the public would have subjected him to the charge of acting hypocritically, which he could not bear, as he detested hypocrisy more than any other business. Dut he added that he assured Mrs. Jackson, when he had left the po litical scene, and his motives no longer liable to misconstruction, he would comply with her inclinations and his own, and join the chuich. In the mean time, he would serve his God with out associating himself with any religious so ciety. Chinese Tools and Chinrse Mechanics Though their iron work is not good, yet their tools such as chisels, planes axes, &c, are ex cellent, and kept very sharp. They make use of the circular instead of the hand-saw. They have a saw for particularly fine work, which, it we had not seen them using, we should have imagined tho work had been with a chisel. The blade ol it consists merely of a single piece of brass wire jagged with a sharp instrument. The pattern to bo carved is placed on the wood, und a hole is bored in it, through which the wire is pasted and made fast to the handle, which is kept outside the wood ; the drawing is then cut out with the greatest care and ac curucy. For all rough work, they make use of a small soil of axe, slightly rounded on one side. This answers the purpoi-e of an adze. In peace ful times, the streets of a Chinese city mutt present a very fine appearance, from the way the front side-boards are puintcd and gilded. The inside ot the shops are protected from the sun ty screens extending across the streets, supported tromthe roof of the house. Those arc either matting, or, in order to admit tho light, are of oyster-sheils scraped fine, set in frnuieB like panes of glass. We set a great many tai lor to work for us, who made things very well it'they hud a pood pattern ; but it is necessary to be careful that there was no defect or patch in it, fur they copied exactly as they saw the article before them. Our gloves puzzled them most. Their first attempts to imitate them pro duced most absurd looking things; but, as we were not very particular about our personal ap pearance, they answered the purpose of kecp eur hands warm, being lined with fur. Only one man succeeded in turning out a pair at all resembling English gloves. They were almost the only trades people v ho did not desert the ci ty, they had always plenty to do. Lieut.

The Hot Springs of Arkansas are alxnit CO miles south west from Little Hock, and burst from the? side of a mountain which is several hundred feet high, to the number of over GO. They are of unequal temperature, ranging from Indow 100 to 1 17 degrees of Fahrenheit. The waters in the largest are hot enough fur culinary purpo ses, and scalds hogs thrown info it sufficient for cleaning. Near the topofthe hill, Iwusprinpa burst forth within a yard of each other, one of which is hot and the other cold the latter being- the only cold spring on the western side of the hill , while on the eastern 6ide there is but a tingle spring, and that a cold chalybeate. Quite a village has sprung up at the Hot Pprings, bath houses have been built, and the place has become quite a resort for invalids. A short distance below the bath houses, the stream from the springs forms a beautiful pool, the wa ter being of crystal purity, and just thu right temperature for a delightful bath. PhiluJ. Sat.

But so rich and abundant is the grain crop of the country, that, beyond what maybe demanded for the consumption of manufacturing' and com mercial districts, there is still a surplus, for which, or o part of which, a foreign market is desirable. The cotton crop, too,thotigh it finds a market at home, the value ot which, I think, has never been sufficiently appreciated, re quires, nevertheless, tree exportation, and a large consumption abroad.
