' (From the New Yol k Herald, 23d.] ■ts u til of the Widow of “Don’t Give Up llu Ship” Lawrence. LawßESi e.—At Newport, R. 1., on Friday, September 15, Julia Montaudevert, widow ofCapt. Jatnes Lawrence, U. 8. N., in the 78th year of her age. The above notice appeared in the list of deaths iu Tuesday's Herald, but attracted little remark, save from the descendants and members of the Ludlow family who still re sid’in this city. The immediate family of Captain Lawrence and Julia Montaudevert is now, we believe, nearly extinct. Only one of their children, a daughter, survived the hero of the ill-fated Chesapeake, and her living descendant nre very few. Mrs. Law rence, like Mrs. Sigourney, like Miss Hannah F Gould, like Artuur Tappan and like John Robins, VI ot whom have died during the present year, was a link between the present and the past. She was a representative of that era which is known as the “ good old time;" and the announcement that her body was aeposited on Tuesday last in the vault in Trinity chutch yard, where rest the bodies of her late husband and his lieutenant, Augustus C. Ludlow, will recall to the minds of The people at large many deeply interest ing events of a past age. The death of Arthur Tappan reealled to mind the days when abolilionism was lunacy, lhat of John Rouins the days when the New York of to day was visionary; that of Mrs. Sigourney and Miss Gould recalled to mind the infancy of American literature. The burial of Mis. Lawrence recalls the infancy of the United States Navy. At the lime of her marriage to Capt. Law rence (1809,), Julia Montaudevert was a beautiful girl of nineteen, resident jvith her father, who was “a respectable merchant” in the then fashionable portion of New York city, which overlooked the Battery, and the husband was a young lieutenant of the navy, in command of the Vixen. Tire record is that Lawrence and his bride were a model couple. “ Boili were young,” as Byrou says, and while the lady was beautiful the lieuten ant was noted a9 being one of the hand somest men in the navy, “ a man of noble stature and fine personal appearance.” “He liad the air and manners of a gentleman-like sailor,” says Fennimore Cooper, “and was much beloved by his friends. He was quick and impetuous in his feelings, and sometimes manifested it on ihe quarterdeck, but in all eii ic 1 situations his coolness was remark able.” Tiris was a model of which we have latelv had examples by men who were midshipmen when Lawrence graced the navy as a cap tain, and the little “ middy” Farragut hr s re vived the model for our day and future age's infraction. Cooper, in his admiration of Liweuce, called him “ a perfect man-of war’s man, ” and Decatur expressed bimself in even stronger terms of admiration of the young hero. Said the old Commodore, iu his sailor's lingo, “ There’s no more dodge about Lawrence than the mainmast.” Many years -ago, soon after the death of the cap lain, a writer iu the National Intelligencer, denying the leport that Lawrence had been horn in Bristol,, England, says lie- met an old negro servant of the Lawrence family, and asking niter Mrs. Lawrence’s health,was answered lhat she was “ doing quite well, and had got a fine son with an eye like a bull ” Lawrence was not only popular with his superior officers, like Decatur, hut with the “middies” aud his crew also. He took great interest in the midshipmen, until it became proverbial, and won for him the love of the midshipmen of his entire squadron. On one occasion the middies gave a dinner to Com modore Rogers, and for some reason it was pr.ipi.sed to invite no lieutenants—just as the freshmen and sophs at colleges occasionally refuse to associate with the juniors and seniors, or with each other. On the an nouncement of this proposition someone ot tlie more sociable middies exclaimed, “What, not Lieutenant Lawrence!” Law rence was immediately excepted by acclama tion, and, it is said, was the only lieutenant present at the dinner to the Commodore.— Cooper, in closing his culogium on the hero, says :—“His humanity and kindness of heart were as conspicuous as his courage.” Mrs. Lawrence is said to have been equally popu lar with her acquaintances. S; c had been resident many years at Newport, and was an ohjjct much respected and a person much admired by the navy and army officers who visited that place. It is ?aid she did not know of her husband's death lor many months alter it had occurred, and that she gave birth to a boy a short time after the lather died. She was only able to be about after her iilness in time to attend the funeral obsequies to the dead hero iu this city. The opening of his tomb to receive the body of uU wife was accomplished on Tues day last, aud amid the roaring ot the great city scarcely attracted notice. The event, so interesting and suggestive, passed without other record than that whicii we now give it. Who attended at the solemn ceremouy is not known to us. Tito man and his deeds are not forgotten, however, and the great deed of this model sailor of the past ago is worthily remembered by the people, who have beeu too busy paying homage to living heroes—and model sailors at that, too —to natice the death of Lawrence’s widow. The story of the Chesapeake is familiar to nil— the unfortunate Chesapeake, which may be said to lmve begun the war of 1812 and to have perished with it. Lawrence came to the command of the fri gate Chesapeake while site was lying in Bos ton harbor undergoing repairs. He had a greeu crew to whom he was a stranger, and was, besides, only temporarily in command lie was expecting daily to be relieved, aud under all the circumstances he should pro bably have declined t lie invitation to h ittle which the British Irigato Shannon (thirty eight guns) saucily threw in his teetli by ap pearing off the harbor on a fine morning in June and impudently sailing about iu the offing. “Tnere is littlo doubt,” snys Feni • more Cooper, “lhat Lawrence lougtit the Chesapeake contrary to his own judgment.” But we are apt to forgive imprudi nee that is prompted by gallantry, and the country has long since lorgotten the fault in admiration of tbe sublime bearing and virtues of the hero. He accepted the invitation however, and sailed out with his law crew, balf-ofii ceied. His first lieutenant, Page, was ill on shore, and Augustus C. Ludlow, who took his place, was lresh from among the mid dies and iuexperienced as a lieutenant. Out sailed the gallant Chesapeake, however, and the two ships became engaged about six o'clock in the afternoon. The action was begun by the Shannou, who fired her guna as the Chesapeake, coming up to her, was some distance off; but Lawrence reserved bis fire nntil hostile yardarms touched each other, when he fired a “well directed broad aide, which sounded like a single report.” A severe cannonade was kept up for several minutes. wUen the Chesapeake became un manageable, “was thrown into the wind, taken aback, and fell aboard the Shannon, the waist anchor ot the latter hooking her rigging.” All the accounts jn detail are filled with the various technical terms, and just as the warriors and sailor of I lie present day nttcmpl to explain away their defeats, so did tlie histoiians for Lawrence and Lud low. Tueydidnot think it worth an effort to live after defeat. Lawrence was twice wounded, the secoud lime mortally, and l»e --ing shot through the body Ludlow ordered him to be carried below. As he was being carried down the hatchway by his sailors he said, addressing Ludlow, “Never strike the flag of my ship.' This language has since been corrupted into “Don’t give up the ship” by these historians with a greater fondness for dramatic effect than for truth. Lieut. Ludlow was also twice wounded by grape, and when the ship finally surrendered both lie and Lawrence were found to be in a dy ing condition. They died the following day an J were buried with every respect at Salem, Mass, by the officers and crew of the Shan non. They were subsequently brought to New York by land, in consequence ot the re lusal ol Captain Oliver, of the British navy, blockading off New London, to allow Com modore Decatur, in tbe ship Albert, to land and convey them by sea. They were receiv ed here on the 13th of September, 1813, and on the loth the bodies were interred in Trinity churchyard with great pomp and ceremony. “The procession had no parallel for the number that attended it in the United States, and tile spertutors were estimated at thirty thousand.” Tue only additional fact we have of the obsequies to the young heroes is the brief statement “that Bishop Hobart consigned the bodies to the grave.” I It is worthy to note that Mrs. Lawrence died on the fifty-second anniversary of her hus band’s funeral. Good Sound Sense. The Macon Journal* Messenger of the loth has the following sensible remarks on “Property in Labor,” pricking an old hum- I bug idea in such sort as does one good to witness : Notwithstanding the extinction of slavery in this couutry, there are still to be fouud writers who cannot forego the pleasure of “harping on my daughter,” whose minds have been so long bunt in one direction, that they seem not to realize the fact of slavery being a dead issue. Tne Press and Times, of Nashville, dwells, it seems to us, more upon this topic tUac is compatible either with | good taste or public interest. The old cant j about “property in labor," as applied to ! slavery, no longer exists. Theoretically, all j labor is now free in tltis country, but practi cally there is as much property in labor as ever, it we recognize the fact that upon the employment of his industry is the laboring I man dependent lor support. Men who are ! too poor to live without labor must sell their | labor to those who can afford to buy it, and | to this extent the purchaser may be said to ! have property in labor; aud wherever this labor is purchased, in the language of the Press and Times, “muscles, sinews, strength, ! skill and endurance are all valued at so ’ many dollars, and are the property ofauoth ! er”—the employer. How much of the muscle, I sinew, strength, skill anu endurance evoked | in tlie creation of Nashville and other of our ! large cities, have a property representative in me work performed ? How many of the i factory operatives of the North and East i have so far “profited by the fruit of their | toil.” as to owueveu the smallest proprietary interest in the manufactories themselves V j Tne truth is, man, in his abnormal state, is | averse to labor, and resorts to it from ueces ‘ sity, not choice. The physical and mental ! energy—the prime constituents of labor, are | undoubtedly the property of their possessor, but their products (without which they would be worthless) are the property of him who employs labor. Essentially, then, labor is the property of its employer, and the la boter is ODly so far “free,” as he elects from a ia se notion of independence, to withhold tlie physical and mental energy nece3eary to give it effect in the interest ot another “Free labor” simply means freedom to choose who shall be the owners of our labor ; but pro perty in labor must rest with those who reap its profits, else would not one man, re velling in wealth and luxury, be permitted to dictate the industrial pursuits of hundreds devoted to livc9 of toil and penury ? Important Case—The Rights of Negroes in Indiana. —The following we copy from the Laiayette Courier: An action was recently brought against Moses Hanger, a well kuown farmer of this county, on the clmtgc of giving employment to a negro,in violation of the law,based upon the 13lu article of the Constitution, which prohibits the emigration ot negroes to the State after the 31st of October, 1851. The penalty is a fine of not les9 than $lO nor more than SSOO. Tlie negro is also subject to prosecution, hut iu this case the action was brought against the while man alone.— The complaint was filed before a civil magis trate at Clark’s Hill, but was tried by a change of venue before Esquire Wiuship, at Stockweli. The ease was prosecuted in be half of tbe Stntc by ex-M»yor Ward of this city, and defended a brevet lawyer, named Reinhart. The facts being true as alleged in the com plaint, Squire Wiuship rendered a decision tor the State, on the strict letter of the law, and assessed a fine of $lO and costs- The case will go to the Supreme Court of the United States on appeal, and from the issues involved, is destined to figure in the jurisprudence oftho-couutry, along with the Dred Scott and other decisions in whicii tlie natural and inalienable rights of man have been called in question. Tiie Atlantic Cable. —Mr. Cyrus W. Field is among the passengers by the Aus tralasian. Ou his way from London to Liv erpool Air. Field stopped at Birmingham, aud incidentally attended one of the sec tiouul meetings of the British Association, which was in session in that town. The subject ot telegraphing was under discussion, anu Mr. Field s preseuce becoming known, he was called upon by the President to ad dress the meeting. Mr. Field said he had no idea he should be called on to speak. It was much easier after an accident to find fault with tbe arrangements which had been made than it would nave been to have reme died that fault before unforeseen circum stances discovered it. It was very much easier to criticise a hook written by someone else tliau to write that book ourselves.— (Hear, hear.) The Atlantic cable had tailed. The causes were well known; but that they would be remedied, and that they were on the eve of a great success, he bad no doubt. There were present two gentlemen who had contributed months, and he might say years, ol their valuable time to decide what mate rials were best to use for an Atlantic cable ; and after more than twelve hundred miles of that cable had been paid out, there was no one on board the Great Eastern who could snggest more than one simple improvement in the cable. The men on board the Great Eastern attributed the _ break, some to acci dent and some to design. One of the me chanics in the tank remarked to him, "It was one of us seventeen in the tank that caused the accident.” But it seemed to him (Mr. Field) that, whether caused by accident or design, they had tbe power to arrange things so as to prevent a recurrence of fail ure. There would be in the next expedition improvements made upon the previous ar rangements, and it was a great satisfaction to know that everybody on board of the 6hip felt perfectly confident that the next attempt would be successful, and that they would be able not only to lay down ■ another cable at the Bottom Os the Atlantic, bat to recover tbe present one. instead of talking about the subject himself, he should much prefer that the Atlantic cable should spssk law It self.

How a Million of Gold Looks.—Where It comes from.—What to Steal. [From Harpers’ Weekly.] The leading financial institution in the Uni ted States is the United States Assistant Treasury at New York. Though it is only an assistant treasury, aud the Treasury pro per is at Washington, yet the transactions of the former are so vastly greater iu volume than those of the latter than the chief work of the Washington office is keeping record of the business done by its New York branch. Nineteen-twentieths of the public creditors are paid here ; nearly all the public loans are disposed of here; by far the greater part of the revenue from customs aud taxes is re ceived here ; and here is paid, on the days fixed by law, the interest on $2,000,000,01X1 ot United States securities. A business of from $3,000,000 to $10,000,000 daily is done here—done quickly, quietly, and with out errors or disputes. 'No institution in the city is better worth inspection than the Sub- Treasury ; and be it said, in simple justice, no man is more willing to have it inspected than Mr. Yan Dyck, the Sub-Treasurer. WHAT A MILLION OF GOLD LOOKS LIKE. The vaults are a sight which can not be witnessed elsewhere in this couutry. There are two of them; but one is comparatively emjjty, as it only holds some $10,000,000. The other contains over sixty millions of dollars, one half in coin, tlie' other half in paper How many readers have ever seen a million dollars in paper or in gold ? We re member oue of tiie oldest of our Judges, a man of large experience and profound wis dom, interrupting a party of talkers, who were chattering about millions of gold, with the naive questions: “ How big is a million of goid ? Would it rest on this table? Would it go under .this chair? How many men would it take to carry it ? What does it look like ?” His Honor might have gratified his curio sity by a visit to the Sub-Treasury. There thirty millions of gold lie dormant, awaiting the resurrection ot specie payments. They are put up in bags containing $5,000 each, and weighing say 45 pounds. These bags are piled one upon another iu closets, which line the inner wall of the vault; a hundred bags fill a closet. When filled the door is closed, locked, aud sealed with the cashier's seal; a ticket attached specifies that in that dark and narrow hole $500,000 in gold lie hidden.— Fifty or more such closets may be seen, duly closed, locked, and sealed. But iu that vault, whose w’ealth far outshines the wild est fablest of Oriental story, bags ot gold lie arouud in every corner. You kick one as you enter. Others rest on trucks waiting sepulture in the closets. They are so plenti ful, and so seemingly despised hy the offi cials who handle them, that insensibly tbe spectator loses liis respect for them, au'd for gets that tlie possession of a few such bags would realize his life-long dream of material prosperity. WHERE THE GOLD COMES FROM. These bags are the product of customs' du ties. Ever}’ day, betweeu 3 and 4 o'clock, a little hand-cart, ark-shaped, painted red, covered over, and locked, may be seen trav elling up Wall Street, propelled by two stout men, and wending its W’ay from the Custom house to the Sub-Treasury. There are but two men ostensibly engaged i u pushing the little red cart. But a careful observer may discover two other men, likewise stout and very watchful', who lounge up tbe sidewalk on a parallel line. They look as if they car ried revolvers. In these days, when the cus toms’ duties arc heavy, the little red ark sometimes contains $750,000 —a prize worth the attention of robbers. But it is never at tacked. When it reaches the Sub Treasury it is unlocked, and the bags handed iu. Eacii bag is then counted by tbe Sub-Treasurer's clerks. Tney count with both hands, and with a rapidity and accuracy truly wonder ful. They seem to possess a sort of instinct, the product of long experience, which ena bles them to discover a false coin at a glance. Pieces which have been split open, the in sides filed out, the cavity filled with iridium, the two halves soldered together, and re milled on the edges, are so tike genuine coins that the best judges are often deceived by them. They weigh precisely the same as genuine coins. They are precisely the right size. They have the ring of pure. gold. Their external surface throughout is gold. Yet these counterfeits are detected at a glance by the experienced clerks of the Treasury. It used to be said of Mr. E. H. Birdsall, the present Cashier, that when be was a clerk he could, in emptying a $5,000 bag, at tbe first dip of his hands into the glittering mass, pick out all the spurious coins. There is a quantity of silver in the Sub- Treasury, in bags and kegs, but after one has been handling millions ot gold it seems a poor sort of metal. A silver closet holds $40,000: there are a few dozen of them full to repletion. Within a short time consider able amounts of silver have arrived here from New Orleans—the product of duties or of the Confiscation Act. Many ot tbe coins ore rusted and dingy, and It is shrewdly sus pected that, during the dark days of rebel supremacy, these pieces slept the sleep of the just In dAmp underground holes. One of the New Orleans hanks is known to have buried its coin when Confederate shinphisters made their appearance, and the plan was doubtless adopted by many private individuals. Os paper money the Sub-Treasury in New York holds some forty millions. Os this over eighteen millions are In fives, tens, and twen ties, and are piled on a shelf in the vault.— As nearly as we could calculate by the eye, there U about n cord aud a halt of this money. It might fill a two-horse hay-cart. When a paymaster calls with a draft, the clerks give him a trunk full or a bushel bas ket. The notes are legal tenders and na lioual bnuk notes mixed indiscriminately— some old and worn, showing evidence ot long service, aud others new and crisp. By-aud by, when government begius to call iu the legal tenders, woe betide the national banks whose issues accumulate in this vault. WHAT TO STEAL. The larger notes, SIOO s, ssoo's, and sl.- uOO’s, have the honor of closet room. There is a closet there which contains half-a dozen millions. Lying on the top ot a mountain of these notes was a package which he ex amined. It could easily have been put in the coat pocket and carried away without inconvenience. It contained one thousand s•'>oo legal tenders, and was, therefore, worth just half a million. But for the contempt tor money which tiie inspection of these enormous sums is apt for t lie moment to in spire, one might have Coveted this little link age. llow many able and successful men toil for a lifetime in the hope of acquiring just such a parcel! But, if you are going to steal, gentle read er, let us recommend coupons as the most convenient article to “convey.” Seven- Thirty caupons are so small that you can ea sily put sr>o,o(X) wortlx in your waistcoat pocket,and as to Ten-Forty coupous. a pinch of them, between finger and thumb, is a small fortune. Tnese little bits of paper, no bigger than apothecary's labels, or halt (he size of a five cent iu fractional cuircncy, rep resent sums varying from $25 in gold to $365 in currency. As interest-day comes round they pour in from all quarters—from the far West and the lately rebellious South ; from Germany and Holland: from crowned heads in Europe and from industrious washer-wo men in this country. To examine aud sort these little bits ot paper is no slight task One of the richest men in New York is said to keep his daughters,- married and simile, busy cutting off coupons for a whole aftei noon and evening before intere9t-day : when tbe cutting is done the eldest daughter herself sweeps out the room to intercept waifs and estrays. Over $125,000,000 are disbursed an nually at the New York Sub-Treasury iu payment of siu.h coupons. The vaults of the Sub-Treasury may really be said to defy burglars. In t’-e first place they are built on thirty-five feet of solid ma soury, so that digging under them and work ing by a tunnel to the floor would be im practicable. Then, they stand in the main hall of the Treasury building, in which a watch is always kept, and Into which it would require no small labot to intrude after nightfall. The vaults themselves are iron chambers, with iron floors, roofs, and walls. The latter are two feet thick, and hollow ; the hollow being filled with musket balls, whicii defy the burglar's drill. Four doors, of massive iron, close the entrance to the vault; each door is locked with two locks, so that eight different keys of peculiar me chanism are required to open sesame. Un cle Samuel, poor fellow ! is not likely to be robbed at ibis office, however lie may fare elsewhere We remember the Sub-Treasury when Mr. Cisco was first appointed its chief, in two rooms of the Assay Building—a quiet, retired establishment, iu which nobody spoke above a whisper, and a few clerks leisurely counted their gold, and demurely paid the salary’ of the President and other public functionaries. People went there to chat with the Sub-Treasurer, a man of leis ure and considerable information, and twice a year called to collect their interest. It was j so slow and so old fogy an institution that j even ihe small Wall Street bankers used to laugh at it. | la these days the Sub-Treasury at New i York has his grip on the throat of nearly ail ! hankers of the country, and we notice that none of them are disposed even to smile when the name ot Mr. Yan Dyck is men tioned. We find the following in the Rome Courier, As the Ladies, Government officials, and others, are interested in the point once at issue, but now determined by Major Gener |al Stcedman, the military commandant o Georgia, it will doubtless attract the atten tion oi'all concerned. DUE AND TIMELY NOTICE. A letter came to this Post office for a i young lady, addressed to the care of her fa j tHer. The young lady lind not taken the I “oath allegiance,” and still refused to do so, | but her father lmd, and demanded the letter, ‘ on the ground that it was addressed to his | care. The Postmaster declined delivering | it on tiie grounds that it would have been an evasion of tlie orders, and would uot have been justifiable in doing so, under all the existing circumstances. The point was made and referred to the General for his de cision. The following is his reply : Headq'rs Dei>'tof Georgia,! Augusta, Sept, 13th, 1865. > Respectfully returned to the Postmaster at Rome, Ga., through military channels, the letter will not bo delivered until the or ders of the military commander of the De partment are complied with. Parties (uot alien citizens) who cannot comply with the laws of the country, will prepate themselves to leave tbe country. By command of Maj. Gen. Stkedman. Edward G. Dike, A. A. G. A Great Natural Ccriosity. —The Sen tinel published at Jacksonville, Oregon, of the 12th ultimo, says: “Several of our citizens returned last week from a visit to the Great Suukeu Lake, situated in Cascade Mountains, about 75 miles northeast from Jacksonville. This lake rivals the famous valley of Sin bad the sailor. It is thought to average 2000 feet down to the water all round. The walls are almost perpendicular, running down into the water, and leaving no beach. The depth of the water is unknown, and its sur face is smooth and unruffled, as it lies so lar below tbe surface of the mountain that the air currents do not affect it. Its length is estimated at 12 miles, and its width at 10. There i3 an island in ils centre having trees upon it. No living man ever has, and prob ably never will, be aide to reach the water’s edge. It lies silent, still and mysterious in the bosom of the ‘everlasting hills,’ like a huge well scooped out by the bauds of the giant genii of tbe mountains, in the unknown ages gone by, and around it the primeval forests watch and ward are keeping. The visiting party fired a rifle several times into the water, at an angle of 45 degrees, and were able to note several seconds of time from Ihe report of the gun until the ball struck the water. Such seems incredible, but is vouched for by some of our most reliable citizens. Tbe fake is cer tainly a most remarkable curiosity. Villainous Robbery. —A man named Crook was robbed on Sunday night by a man who has lately figured as private Orderly to Gen. Rousseau. They went out hack riding together, and on Front street the Orlerly rob bed Crook of $l2B, after which he struck him a murderous blow on tbe bead, and emptied him out of the hack. The officers during the night picked up the unfortunate man, and took him to the wotk bouse. He was properly attended to by Dr. Buchanan, but his case is deemed critical. The Orderly has been arrested, and the case will be investi gated. Bcrolast.—A negro soldier was caugbt last night at about 12 o’clock breaking into the tailor shop of L C Fine, oo Cherry street. He Is a member of the 13th U. 8. C. L, and was turned over to tbe Provost Marshal.
