Farewell! for ’tin the laet tad strain This broken harp will ever give— It ne'er can sing of Hope again : Her syren tone* no more deceive, For crush'd and broken are the strings 'Round which theirdying music clings ! And when, perchance, in after years Another breathes to thee that vow, Which I have breath'd thro' smiles and tears, As true as Heaven’s reflected bow ! Which coustant shines through stormy skies, A covenant that uever dies— Yea,when other lips shall speak The words oflove which I have spoken, Think of me then!—the wish is weak— There's little strength in hearts nigh broken: Butin thnt weakness there is more Of trusting faith than e'er before. I would not have you all forget The many hours of rapture past— Whose fading twilight lingers yet, Like sunbeams on the storm cloud cast; And as the night comes stealing on, I needs must weep when all is gone. R. D. P. REGRETS. BY THOMAS HAYNES BAYLY. 'Tispast! yes, her own lips have spoken The sentence that tells us to part: Tbe vow that they pledged she has broken, Ar.d with itanothor fond heart; Yet, though she whom I trusted so freely, Has sunderetklove's holiest tie, The visions I cherished so dearly. Will live in this heart till I die! Had I loved her less fondly—less truly, Or given her cause for regret; Had I been of her notice unworthy, We hud parted, perhaps, as we met; But her own guilty conscience will tell her, My vows could not evil impart; Every look,every word that I gave her, Sprang warm from its seat in the heart! Oh! who shall call woman's love lasting, Since thus she can cancel her vows! The pangs of the heart she is blasting, In her can no pity arouse! Then shun, ere too late, her soft glances, Avoid,while you may, the soft lure; Aad, believe tne, if her love’s thy riches, Thou hadst better, far better, be poor!

XXXVl- form Miller or th* conduct ofhis clerk, lie content, ad himself, like loo many others, with merely shrugging his shoulders, ns has been seen, when occosiou warranted his doing so, nnd prnpheeving ruin to the merchant who, unhappily had placed confidence in an unworthy agent. Thu business in which Miller wni engaged, al though it embraced very important transactions, und required many clerks for its efficient manage ment, yielded only a light profit, so that it wus in tho power of a disiionest assistant to ruin his prin. cipal. 11 only required the uli.trnclion of a few thousand dollurs to emburraas and finally brouk up the merchant’s business. The prospect of such an untoward event was very fair. Tho habits of young Gray, the name of the principal clerk, had lor more than u year, required for their gratifica tion an amuunl of money much greater I Inin his salary. At first he wus troubled with debts. The uneasiness that these occasioned led him Io cast ubuul in his inind for soma mode of relief. His first decision on the subject was to ask an advance of salary. He was in the receipt of one thousand dollars a year. Pressod hard by a man whom he owed, lie was almost forced into an application for more salary. He did not think of denying himself any of the expensive pleasures in which he in. du!gcd,as a surer measure of reliof. The appli cation was not favorably considered. Mr. Miller paid, already, as much for clerk-hire as he felt him self able to do. The salary of Gray he considered fully enough for a young man. Alter having re- cciveda positive refusal on like part of his employ er to grunt his request, the clerk, concealed as ful ly as possible his disappointment, turned to the per funnuiico of his regular duties. But there was a tempest in his bosom. Even with an increuse of sulury up to the amount ho had asked, the difficul ties that surrounded him would still have been great. The only course by which he could then huve ex tricated himself from immediate difficulties, would huve been to borrow upon the representation of an increase of sulnry. Now that hope had fuiled. Temptutions try and prove men. Where there is integrity of character, purification is the couse qnence of strong trials. But when a man without lixed principles gets into difficulties, especially wlien brought about by his own wrong conduct, he is in imminent danger. Evil counsellors are near him Bpecious arguments ; he must not coo scni to listen to them—if he does, lie will almost inevitably full into like snare laid for his unweary feel. Something must be done,’ the young man said this with compressed lips, after lie had recovered a little from the confusion of mind into which Mr. Miller’s positive refusal to grur.t his request had tlnown him, Snmelhiiig muat bo done. What shall it be V The question gave activity to his mind. He thought, und thought, and thought for a long lime But one only hope glimmered in upon the darkness; and that was a light kindled upon a treacherous coast. It was the hope of relief from pressing de mands, by using, without his employer’s knowledge, a portion of the money that regularly pussod through his hands. The first suggestion of this to his mind, cuused him an inward shudder. He looked away from it; but every thing was so dark, that, for re lief he turned to il again. The idea seemed not now so revolting. He did think of embezzling his employer’s money ; only borrowing it as a measure of temporary reliof. Finally the tempter prevailed. A good oppoitunily presented itself for using as InrRo n sum ns two hundred dollars without u suspicion of the fact bv Mr. Miller, and he embraced that opportunity. Pressing demands were thereby met, and a surplus left in his hands. From tliis time lorlh a host of evil counsellors had access to his ear, and he listened to them loo often. There was no reform in his habits or ex penses, hut rather a giving of the rein to bolh. He indulged more frequently in expensive pleasures, and had, in consequence, to resort ofienor to the funds of his employer, which ho did with less and less compunction of conscience each lime. Nut many mouths passed before Miller found his business pressing upon him tooheuvily. His pay ments were not made with the same ease os for* meily. There having been no diminution in his business, he was entirely at a loss to uccount fur this fact. Not the slightest suspicion of the real cause passed over his mind ; for his confidence in Gray was unbounded. Had lie known any thing of ikis Imbiis, doubts of his integrity would have been awakened ; but of the many facts that had coine under the observation of Deal, not one hud been even suspected by Miller. Rapidly did young Gray run his downward course. His money warns grew every day more and more urgent, and his inroads upon his employ er’s funds more and more steady and exhuusting. ‘Miller’ll he a ruined man as sure as the world, il he keeps Gray about him.” Deal would say to himself, whenever ho perceived the young clerk spending money with great trccdom, as he often did. But he never thought of saying ns much to llm wronged merchant. lie never fell it to be his duly lo whisper a friendly warning in his ear. Time passed,and the merchant’s business became daily mure and more involved. Not a payment wus made without having to borrow money from one source or other. Tho cause of this he could not d.-fino; uud unfortunately, not suspecting where it really lay, he remained altogether at fuult in en- deavoring lo counteract and resist the downward tendency of his business, until ruin was the conse- MILLKDOKV1LLK, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1844.

Editors s The following incident occurred a few weeks since in a villugo of our Slate. It was a warm Sabbath afternoon, and the doors of tho Village Church were thrown open lo let in tho balmy uir from the fields without. The congregation Imd assembled, and while 'lie minister was reading the first hymn, a beautiful dove entered the door and came walking up tho aisle. Sucli u visitor drew of course universal attention. But as the choir arose to sing, lie seemed startled, and lifting himself on his wings, alighted on the stove pipe ubove him, where he sat bending his glossy neck and turning his head so as lo catch the harmony as it swelled through the temple of God. Whether il ivas the chorus of voices, or the full tuned notes of ihe organ that captivated him 1 can. net tell; but he sal the perfect picture of earnest attention till the music ceased. Wailing a moment as if to hear the strain com- mence again, he started from his pearch and sailed to the top ofthe organ, where he furled his pinions and sal and looked upon the audience. The young clergyman arose to pray. He is distinguished for his earnestness and fervor of his invocation, and aa he stood with his hands around the Bible which lay clasped before him, humbly beseaching the Futher of all good to send his Holy Spirit down, that beautiful bird pitched from its resting place on the organ, and sailing down on level wings the whole length of the Church pearched on the Bible directly between the hands of the clergyman. It was .merely a natural occurrence, but how beautiful ihe picture. There stood the messenger of God with face towards heaven pleading for heav en’s blessings—the Bible before him around which his hands were reverently clasped, while on it stood that beautiful and innocent dove. The three thus together formed a group full of interest and symbo lizing all that is dear to man. The Word of God was before tho people with God’s chosen emblem upon it, and God’s Iteruld clasping them as he pray- ed. What wonder is it if a superstitious feeling ran through the house as the people watched that dove the emblem of innocence and purity and the Divine Spirit ilselt standing Jon the Bible and looking down on them. Beautiful bird, it centered for a time the affections of all on il ; and he who could have injured it there, would have injured hundreds of hearts at the same time. The pressure of its (i. ny feet was no sacrilege there, for the expressions of its soft eye were innocence and love. The clergyman feeling the presence of the bird, nnd fearing il might distract the attention ofhis hearers, gently passed his hand over the Bible.— The dove, unstartled, merely hopped over it on the cushion, where it sat till prayer was ended. It then rose and sailed away. In former times the dove would have been regarded ns a spiritual visi tant from the unseen world, sent on a special mis. sion in answer to prayer, and awakened feelings of awe and reverence. To us it was only a natural hut unusual occur rence, awakening simply the sentiment of beauty. It is a new and accidental figure introduced sudden ly into a beautiful picture giving greater harmony and perfection to what wo deemed perfect before. There was no religion in il hut it was full of beauty. New York Observer. h. remarks: “I have travelled five days at a lime a. mong the Andes without seeing a human creature excopt those with me, and along a track (not a road) w hich, for the most part, serpenlizcd over al* most pcrpendiculur precipices,or through a forest literally impervious, except by cutting one’s way at every siep. Provision, luggage, and everything were curried on men’s bucks, and my saddle-horse was a stout mulatto, (part Indian,) whom 1 occu. sionnlly mounted wlton tired of wulking. I felt al first a ducided repugnance to this sort equitation, and could not think of using a fellow.being for a beast of burden ; but Ihe necessity of Ihe case and the custom ol the country got the better of mv scru ples, as they Imd of those of more conscientious men, no doubt ; und as thn sillero, (chairman,) as he was culled, told me it was his occupation to car- ry Christians over the mountains, and solicited the job, I struck a burgain with him, and the price was ten dollars through, 1 riding about half the time.— This quudrupedul biped, if so lie may be called, turned out to bo a very surefooted and trusty ani. inul, uud carried me in perfect safety to the end of the route. The modus equitandi is this : instead of a saddle, a very light chair is used, which the chairman slings upon his back, and the traveller’s face, when seuled in it, is to the north, should he he going lo the south, and vice versa. It is necessary that, when mounted,he should keep himself very ac curately balanced, for there are many places in passing which n false step on the part of the sillero might cause a tumble down a precipice, which wuuld bo futal bolh to the rider and to the rid den, Effectual Preventive of smut in Wheat.— Mr. Editor.—On board of a steamboat, in conver sation on the subject of agriculture, I was told by Mr. Dechert, of Tennessee, who allowed me to use bis name, that in hundreds of instances he hud known smut in wheal to be prevented by the follow, ing step—in fact, he believed it lo be infallible, and deeming all such things worthy of being preserved and generally known, especially when avouched by responsible names, I committed it to paper on the spot.

Tbe following notice of it is from tbe Suns ter Moot* Whig of tbe 33d ultimo : “A few days ago we saw Mr, Bhsrsrd’s new pa tent cotton gin in full operation, and we can swore those who have not seta U that it greatly improves the qoality of the cotton ginned, and is altogether a beautiful piece of machinery. It is vary simple in construction and easily kept in order. The sows are nearly like those ofthe ordinary gin, save* slight difference in the cutting of the teetb, Tbo ribs are eircular and revolve with the saws ; be. hind the ribs is a cylindrical brush, revolving against the saws, which takes out motes, tmsh, end dirt, still further behind, and a little below, ia a similar brush, wh’ch takes off tbe cotton from tbe saws and carries it behind a grate, which entirely remove* the remainder of the trash, dirt, dre. Still further back is a brush with wings, which blows the cot* ton through a flue with a tin bottom, perforated with oblong holes similar to those of a tin lantern, through which, should there be any remaining trash or dirt, the whole will past. This flue has one advantage over all others—it never chokes up, and consequently does not require delay of time in cleaning il, “The whole is carried by two hands, and works most admirably. A fifty saw gin, the size of that Mr. Sherard now has in operation, will gin four hales per day. We would remark that the im. provemeat may be attached, at a small expense, to the ordinary gin ; and further, that Mr. Sherard’s new gin will cost but a trifle if any more than those now in use.” A Cure for Pulmonary Complaints.—The fol lowing receipt is not intended lo he a cure for a confirmed consumption, but I ussuro your readers, from my own repeated observations of its effects, that it will relieve many pulmonary complaints, not easily to be distinguished in their symptoms from a consumption, and which, if neglected, would prove fatal.

It will causes gentle perspiration to luko place, promote uti easy expectoration, relieving, ihe cough, und in a few weeks restore him to perfect health.

We find the following going the rounds of the press. Al the time spoken of, Ihe “While House,” (i. e. the Presidential Mansion in Washington) did not exist—nay, VVashington City itself was noteven dreamed of—nor was Gen.

As to breakfasts, generally, in the "White House,” iftho truth weie known, they would be found lo he as most folks would dosire. But a great many foolish things are said in the press, at times, about the “White House.” The White House in 1784.—A Mr. Wansny, ^ hose published no:es of a lour in this country in ,is l he shore rvas examined Euslward, towurd Mon- Eve’s Aptle Tree.—‘Eve’s Apple Tree,’ (kadura gaha) is u tree of the middle size, and is found in great numbers, its leaves are nine inches long, and three broad, with about twenty strong fibres branching off on each side ofthe centre one. Its fruit hnng down in pairs from a long stalk, its appearance is very peculiar being like an apple with one-third cut or bitten out. It is deadly poison, and the milk that flows from it is so acid, that a drop falling on the hand raises a blister; The out side of a bright yellflw color, and tho inside is a deop crimson. It contains a lutge quantity of small black seeds, like the dips of an apple, imbedded in scarlet colored pulp. I have counted fifty.oiglit of these in one fruit. When ripe, the fruit bursts open nnd the seeds fall out, after which tho outsido shrivels up,and still adheres lo the stalk for aeon- sidernblo lime.—Recollections of Ceylon. Remarkable Circumstance.— VV’e were inform ed yesterday by a fisherman just in from a cruise, tlml during his absence he had seen a most singu lar phenomenon, the like of which has never been known in this latitude. The smack in which he was, had been unsuccessful, hut very few fish liav- ing been taken, nnd on many of the old fishinn grounds not one could he found ! In reluming, along the South shore of Long Island, their atten tion was attracted to the beach, which was literally strewed with the bodies of dead fish just wash ed up by the sea. Black-fish, cunuers, lobsters and crabs,and many other species which inhabit our siiores at this sea sou, lay promiscuously on the sand. On examining tiie well of the smack it was discovered that the fish which they had taken were also dead.

In addition to this, $100,000 in American halves went to Montreal, probably for proceeds of bills on England, drawn by the commissariat to pay the troops in Canada. Some $80,000 in specie were received at New York Inst week. The Tribune states the official clearance* of specie from 1st October to 12lh November—not including some portion of that noted above—to have been $020,701 in gold, and *1,470,620 in silver to Europe, and $74,412 in silver to East indies. The wav they Marbv out West.—A western paper says that the arrival of 41 ladies ell at one time, in iowu, has caused a sensation. We think it should. But of their manner of ‘paying ad. dresses’ and getting ’hitched,’ is what we want to come at. It is said lo be dene in a business like way, something in this wise : when a boat load of ladies is coming in “at the landing,” the gentlemen on shore make proposals lo the ladies through speaking trumpets, something like the following: “Miss, with blue ribbon on your bonnet, will you take me ?” “Hallo there, gal, with a cinnamon colored shawl 1 If agreenble, we will jine.” The ladies in the meantime, get ushore, and are married I at the hotel, the parties arranging themselves, aa ' the Squire sings out, “Sort yourselves, sort your selves.” A great country that “Far West.” A Double Bbick House Moved.—Quite a feat was performed on Thursday, in the removal from the corner ofElizebeth street and Franklin Avenue, of a three story brick Itouso, owned by G.

Tho removal was rendered necessary in consequence of widening Franklin Avanue. The work wus effected on way, and on Ihe same principle as a ship is launched. No damage done. The force employed, alter Ihe ways were fixed, amounted to but two men with screw and lever power. Contractors for moving, J. \V. & F. VV. Goodwin, of New York.

Will tho break fasts there in these days bear a comparison with this ? “Mrs. Washington herself made tea and coffee for us. On tho table were two small piules of slic ed longue, dry toast, bread and butter, but no boil ed fish, as is the general custom. Miss Curtis, her granddaughter, a very pleasing young lady of about sixteen, sat next to her brother, Georgo Washington Curtis, abouttwo yeurs older than herself.

Agreement and Disagreement of Nouns.— The schoolmaster is certainly abroad, and no mis take, and his influence is as discernible over tho country os the belt of Saturn is to Lord Rosso while looking through the monster telescope. Here is the last shot which lie has taught the young idea how to make. Schoolmaster.—“Tommy Townly, parse me tho sentence, ‘Mother and father live in harmony.” Tommy.—"Yelli ihir. Mother is a common noun, neuter gender, and nominative case to the verb live.” Schoolmaster.—“Excellent. Tommy, there is nothing under the heavens to keep you out of Con. gress. Goon.” Tommy.—“Live is a verb neuter, indicative mnnd, prethent tense, third perthon, lllingular num. her, and agrees with mother." Schoolmaster.—‘Bravo, Tommy—proceed. You will he n counsellor at least—perhaps on the Su preme Bench.’ Tommy—“And is a mnrnuge conjunction; it conples_/a/Aer and mother.” [Here there was a general hee, heo, hee, from the test of the class.] Schoolmaster.—“Tommy, you young rascal,you inusu'l indulge in your wit at school—you’ll never he a great man if you do. Go on—what isfatherV Tommy.—“He's a shoemaker thir.” Schoolmaster.—“You are more stupid than I thought you wore. What does lie agree with in tho sentence ? Tommy.—(Scratching his head and looking puz zled.) “1 don’t know, thir.” Schoolmaster.—“Don’t you see, stupid, that both ure in tho nominative case to the word Jive, and that father agrees with mother ?” Tommy.—“No he don’t, thir ;—he licked her like all wrath this morning !” Schoolmaster.—“The class is dismissed. Tom my Townly, let me have your premium book till I mark a blank fa It for your stupidity to-day.” tiouk Point, it was lound to be covered alike with dead fish. We are also informed that tho smack Caroline, on Friday last, while about 15 miles from land, pass ed through a “rip of the sea (formed bv adverse tides, we suppose) and that as far as could be seen in citiie-r directien the “rip” wus filled with dead fish, 'boon after this the well of the smack wns ex amined, and every lish in it found to he dead.— 1 Itese remarkable facts require scientific investi gation. Similar phenomena have been observed in the Mediterranean after a volcanic eruption on some of the neighboring mountains ; and it is quite probable, we think, that the destruction to the fin. ny tribe noticed above wns cuused by a like erup tion nt sea, near our coust.—New London News, Monday. Gamp. Cocks.—It will bo seen by the following from the New York Morning News, that Game Cocks, have risen in value since the Election of Mr. Polk. “A suit was tried in Boston, last week, in the Boston Common Peals, in which n deputy slier iff was defendant, with others, chargod with killing eight game-cocks. The jury returned u verdict for tho plaintiff: damages assessed at $75, or $0, 37£ apiece for the fowls.—It is not easy to say which party should bear offtho palm of humanity in this case. The sportsmen cruelly pitted the fowls, armed with steel gaffs, to kill each other.— The party which iidjourneJ from u temperance meeting, of which they formed a part, nnd proceed ed iu a body lo the cock-pit, to put u stop to the sanguinary sport, not only seized the fowls but put tiicin to death in different ways. Twenty-three were killed. The necks of some were wrung, and the heads of others cut off. One man held one leg of a doomed bird, and n second mnn the other leg, whiles third held the head and applied the knifo lo the neck.” issued in the following States and Cities : Kentucky, Sept. 26 South Carolina, Oct. 3 New Hampshire, Nov. 14 City of Charleston, City of Savannah, Nov. 14 Nov. 21 Connecticut, Nov. 28 Rhode Islund, Nov. 28 Michigan, Nov. 28 Missouri, Nov. 28 Illinois, Nov. 28 Vermont, Due. 6 Maine.

A specimen produced nt New Harmony ^settlement by Mr. John Beal, has been examined by the Editor, and pronounced equal to the Louisiana sugur, with the exception of a little acid in the granulation, which will be corrected hereafter by u liule more alkali in tho syrup.— Last year, according to his report to Mr. Ellsworth Mr. B. succeeded in making sugar, although his corn nalks woro much injured by a storm. This year he bus mude 375 lbs. from three-fourths of an acre, or 500 lbs. per acre, and the land was up land of a medium quality. Wheu tiie eurs begin lo form they are pulled off. When the leaves are dead about half wuy up the stalk, it is stripped of all leaves, cut up at the root the top cut off, and then ground in a sugar mill.— Twenty stalks yield a gallon of juice. A gallon of juice yields one-eight or one-tcnlh part syrup, of which one pint weighs one pound and a half, and of this three-lourlhs is grained sugar. Mr. B. made 80 lbs. in a day with a simple apparatus of his own construction. Five hundred pounds at 4 cents per b. is $20 per acre, it would have produced, say 50 bushels of corn, et 25 cents, or $12 50. Power of Eloquence.—The eloquence of the celebrated Whilfiold it is said was nt time] irresis tible. The accomplished sceptic Chesterfield was present when this popular preacher presented the votary of sin under a figure of n blind beggar, led by a little dog- The dog had broken his string.— The blind cripple, with his stuff between bolh hands, groped his wuy unconscious to tho side of a precipice. As he fell along with his staff, it drop, ped down the descent, too deep lo send back an echo. He thought il on the ground, and bending forward, took one careful step to recover it. Bui lie trod on vacancy, poised for a moment,and ns he fell headlong. Chesterfield sprung from his scat ex- olaiming ; ‘By Heavens ho is gone !” A young Miss having accepted the nfihr of a youth to gallant her home, afterwards fearing '.lint jokes might be cracked at her expence if the fuel should become public, dismissed him when about half way, enjoining secrecy. “Don’t be ufraid,” said he, of "my saying any thing about il, for I fuel as much ashamed of it as you do.” Cure for Mange in Swinf:.—A correspondent in the Maine farmer says, tako raw Tobacco steep ed in cold and strong chamber lie, pour olf the li quor, then mix equal parts with lump oil, then rub on the composition. When kept iu a tight bottle, will stand for somo time, it is said to he a safe reme dy. A Twin Uncle!—At Massat, in France, on the 20th ult. two femules, mother and duugliter. gavo birth to a male child within two ininutos of cucli other. The babies were put into one crudle whilst the mothers were attended lo, and tho result was an impossibility to distinguish which was the uncle and which was the nephew. Affection is woman’s only element; to love, to look up, is hor destiny : and, if unfulfilled, nothing can supply its place. Life has no real business for lierbeyond the sweet beating of her own heart, dwelling iu the shadow of another’s. She may crowd iiur days with gayety, variety, and wlml arc culled amusements ; she will do so only lo find their insufficiency. She needs the strength of du. ty, and the interest of uffection. Cleanliness in Making Butter.—It seems al most unnecessary to allude to cleanliness ns pecu- liarly necessnry to the manufacture of good butter. But I do so lo bring under your notice the fuel, that cream is remurkable for the rapidity with which it absorbs and becomes tainted by unpleasant odours, it is very necessary that tho air of the dairy should ho sweet—that it should be often renewed, und that it should ho open in nu direction from which hud o- Hours can come.—Johnson's Lectures. Jack Downing on thr Advantages of Advek tising.—in relation lo the advantages of udveitis^ ing in newspapers, the sagacious Jack Downing holds the following language. We do not feel in. dined to dispute him: “There’s nothing that greases tho wheels of business like newspaper advertising.—Bear’s ilo ain’t a touch to il.” We have seen no appointment for Georgia and Indiana, in both which Slates it was celebrated last year. On the other hand, we find no record of the celebration of this fostivul, last year, in oilher South Carolina or Kentucky, both of which are included iu the above table, in South Carolina, however, it was duly proclaimed und observed iu 1842.—N. Y. Jour, of Com. A gentleman recently from Lexington, Ky„ in. forms us that, just before he left that city, the im- prossion had become very general thut the Presiden tial election would depend upon the vole of New York. As a natural consequence ofsuch an opin ion, public feeling became so excited as to the issue of the canvass in that State, that the people flocked, with nu impatience bordering upon frenzy, to the post office long before the mail was due, lo catch the firal tidings from the field that decided the bat tle. When the news came, the crowd about the post office had swollen to a prodigious size ; end- upon tho announcement of the fact that the Empire State had given her vote against their neighbor, and ensured liis defeat, a profound siloncc was main tained throughout the vast assemblage until it dis persed. Grey-haired whigs were soon wending their wav in sadness to their homes, and tears ba- dewed many an eye unused to the melting mood,— Tiie democrats present did not utlei a single shout of joy. They appeared to have been impressed with a respect for tho grief that sunk into the hearts^ of so many of their fellow citizer.s like a weight of heavy burden, and they received the intelligence of tiie success of their own candidate in os solemn si, lence ns the whigs did that ofthe defeat of theirs. Incidents like this deserve to be remembered.— They touch us that beneath the foam and the furyt of purtv strife there is a broad stratum of good feel ing and brotherly love, that is only obscured for the timo being, not destroyed, by the storms that agl- late the surface of society ; that upon the calming; of the troubled waters the bruises received in tho conflict will he healed. It is sluted as a fact in the New York Sun that- one ofthe private mail concerns received in one day 530 letters, while the Post office received only three ; and thn private mail, at six cents a letters received $31 36, while tho Post Office collactad only fifty six cents. This ia an important fact,, winch shows whut will become of tho revena* which the Government derived from the Post of- flee Department unless some reform ie introduced uud the cheap postage syitem adopted. The Poet- muster General, it is said, has seen the necessity of the adoption of this measure, aud in his report to Congress, in a few weeks, will press the necessity uf a reduction which will not be lower than 5 cents nor higher than 16, and the President will also call the attention of Congress to the importance of pronqu action. Congress, it is hoped, will pay more attention to it than at the last session. Had the suggestions of the press and the popular voice, us expressed through public meetings, been lia- toned in, die Government might now be reapiag the tidvuiiiuges which others enjoy. We are anx ious to see whul effect has been produced in the last year upon the Post Office Department in its pe cuniary icsources by tho private mails.—Ledger. An American traveller, writing ei Miss JtM Porter. siiVK,“wa sincerely think we never have seen it woni'iu so beloved and so fusciuoling.— -She is liiu idol of many different circles of very higii rank, aad pusses Iter time in yielding, month, ulicr month, lo pressing invitations from the friends who iuvu Iter.” The same author statss that Miss Porter,now moro than 60 years old, is still in mourning for her first and only lover, who died .when she was about twenty.
