The Battle or the Bees.— Galignani’a Messen ger published in Baris, says a curious circumstance occurred recently at (juilloville, in France. A small farmer had in a field about two hundred and fifty beehives, containing u vast number of bees. He sent a tnau with a curt drawn by live horses, to remove some earth from tho wall near which tlie hives were placed. Tho carter having occasion to go to the farm house, tied the horses to a tree. Almost immediately after, a multitude of bees either irritated at tli3 shaking of their hives by the removal of tho earth from tiio wall, or excited by the electricity with which tho atmosphere happen ed to be charged, issued from their hives, as if in obedience ton given signal, and with great fury attacked tho horses. In an instant the poor ani mals were entirely covered with bees from head to foot; even their nostrils were Ailed with them. When the carter returned ho found one of the horses lying dead on tiie ground and tho others rolling about furiously, llis cries attracted sever al persons; one of them attempted to drive away the bees, lmt they attacked linn and ho hail to plunge into a pond, and even to place liis head un der water for a few seconds in order to escape from them. Tho cure ot Guillevillo also attempted to approach the horses, but he too was put to flight bj the enraged insects. At length too fire engines were sent for, and by pumping on tiie bees a great number were killed on the horses or put to flight. The horses, however, v/ero so much injured that they died in an hour. Tiie value of tho bees de stroyed was 1,508 f., and of the horses 2,200 f. A few days before bees from the same hives killed seventeen goslings. The good common-sense philosophy of the fol lowing ought to do much toward reconciling the reader to his lot; and, if duly pondered on, would provojan effectual “stopper” to that gucrnlous and impatient grumbling which is by far too common . A Passing Thought. —Rothschild is forced to content himself with tiie same sky as tiie poor newspaper writer, and the great banker cannot order u private sunset or add a ray to the magnifi cence of night. The same air swells all lungs.— Each one possesses really only his own thoughts and liis own senses, soul and body—these are the property which a man owns. All that is valuable is to be had for nothing in tins world. Genius, beauty and love are not bought and sold. You .may buy a rich bracelet, but not a well turned arm to wear it—a pearl necklace, but not a pretty throat with which it shall vio. The richest blink er on cartli would vainly offer a fortune to be able to writd a verse like Byron. One comes iuto-the world naked and goes out naked ; tiie difference in the fineness of a bit of linen lor a shroud is not much. Man is a handful of clay, which turns quickly buck again into dtisi. Polly Put the Kettle On. —One evening, Ma dame Malibran ielt rather annoyed at tiie general prejudice expressed by tiie company then present, against all English vocal compositions, the opinion being altogether in favor of foreign music; some even going so far as to assert that nothing could lie good of which the air was entirely and original ly of English extraction. Malibran in vain endea vored to maintain that all countries possess, though peri laps in a less equal dogree, many ancient mel odies, peculiarly tneir own; that nothing eould exceed the beauty of tiie Scottish, Irish, Welch, und even some of tiie aid English airs, bile then named many compositions of tiie best modern composers, bishop, Burnett, Lee, Horn, «sec.; de claring her belief, that if she were to produce one of Bishop’s or Horn’s ballads as the works of a Signor Viscovo, or Cuerno, thus Italianizing and Kspngnolizing the names, they would ereato a furore. In the midst of this discussion she volun teered a new Spanish song, composed as she said, by Don Chocarrcrn. She commenced—the greatest attention prevailed, she touched the notes lightly introducing variations on repeating tiie spin phony, and with u serious feeling, though a slight smile might be traced on her lips, begau: Maria traypa un caUero, D aqua Llama lcvunte, Maria pon tu caldero Aymos nuestro te. She finished—the plaudits resounded, and the air was quoted at a further example how far superior foreign talent was to English. Malibram assented to ihe justice of their remarks, and agreed to yield still moro to their argument if the same air sung adagio should lie found equally beautiful when played wresto. Tho parties were agreed; when, to the positive consternation of all present, and very much to the diversion of Mali bran herself, tiie Spanisli melody, which she had so divinely sung, was, on being played quick, in stantly recognized us a popular English nursery song, by no means of the highest order, shall we shock our readers when wo remind them that Maria trayga un caldero, means, literally, “ l’olly put the kettle on!” TnOMAS MOOItE BYW.o. batos. The lyre of Music, Love and Heaven, Has hushed its Anal chord, From Erin’s quivering heart is riven What cannot be restored ; Tiie bard who sung her glorious years, And sorrowed in her shame, Has borne the harp to holier spheres Which filled the world with fame. Yet o’er their troubadour no moan The trampled nation make. And so 'tis meet the minstrel's tone Should never more awake; ’Tis well, since he could uot inspire Her old heroic glow, He should return to heaven the lyre That vainly plead below. Railways in England. —From the annual state ment of tho Railway Department of the English Board of Trade, it appears that the increase in the lines of railway during 1851 was not so great ns in any one of tiie preceding years since 1-44. The maximum increase was in IS4S, when 1,182 miles were added to tho pre-existing lines. Since 1848 the increase has been diminishing. Only 209 were added in 1851. Tito extent of railway com munication open for traffic in Great Britain nnd Ireland, ut tho close of 1851, was 6,890 miles. Tiie number of persons employed on railways in Eng land on tiie ii-ith of June, 1851. was only 100,501. being 197,22046*8 than at a corresponding period in 1847. The capital of tho companies, raised by share- and loans, at the end of 1851, amounted to $240,270,786. Threat to Swallow a Steam Boiler.—Twenty seven years ago a committee in Hie House of Com mons was appointed to examine into tiie state of steam navigation. Lord Stanley (now the Earl of Derby.) was chairman of that committee, and on Mr. Robert Stoveiifion, the eminent engineer, speaking ot the probability ot steam ships crossing the Atlantic, Lord Stanley rose, from his seat and exclaimed, “Good heavens ! what do you say ! If steamships cross tho Atlantic, I w ill cat the boiler of the first boat!” Stati-tp-s of the British Post Office.— ln the year ended the 15th January last, (as appears from a return, lately issued) the gross post office revenue was £2.422.16S 4s. Id. The cost of management including pensions, was 51,804,163 12s. B%d. — The net revenue was £1,118,004 16s. 4)yd. The postage charge on the Government departments, was £167,129 3s. 7d.: and the uct revenue, exclu sive of charges on the Government departments, was £50,875 7s. 9Jgd. The number of letters de livered in the United Kingdom in 1839—the year preceding the first general reduction of postage on tho sth of December in that year—was ,5,907,572, and last year tho number was 860,647,187—th0 largest number since the alteration. * Frauds on the New York Custom IJorsE.— Several frauds on the revenue by dealers in cigars, have been lately discovered by the Custom House officers. Three or moro kinds of cigars are im ported, numbered 1,2, S, <£e., as to quality, and of course, paying different rales pertnousaud, as the prime cost may happen)o be. Tiie fraud was in passing a lot, say 200,'”90 No. 1,200,000 No. 2, and 200,000 No. 8. b'v fictitious enumeration, as 100,000 No. 1, 100,000 "No. 2, and 400,000 No. S', thus get ting half or more of the best cigars invoiced at the t'ustom House, at the rate paid for the cheapest. This would make a difference In the duty, on a moderate importation, of several thousand dollars per annnm. In consequence of this discovery, the Collector has given orders to have all cigars exam amined hereafter. Lord Pier. e.—The friends of the Democratic nominee for the Presidency represent that he is one of “the nobility," being “a lineal descendant of the family of Percy* and the Duke of Nor thumberland.” This fact will, of course, excite the 1 Vmoceag}' to tho mightiest exertions. tYhat good Democrat would hesitate to give his ears and his eves and his nose to elect Lord Pierce to the Presidency of the United States I —PrntU*. A London Correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga rotte, closes his last letter thus : —“Tiie nomination of Gen. Pierce has called forth an universal Amen from the tree trade and anti-American part of the British nation, and they predict his success by an overwhelming majority. We’ll set. Imtroved Firearm.-.— The editor of the Hart ford Conrant describes ft new pistol patented by- Mr Christian Sharp, the inventor of the celebra ted rifle. It is a rifle pistol, light and compact, but of great power, »nd Arc.- with remarkable ex actness. The target was pierced at a distance ot SOO sards, and we bavo no doubt tiie pistol would do execution at a much greater distance. Though not a revolver, it can be fired with great repiditv. The inventor slates that seven shots can be .made in less time than tiie same number with Colt a pis tol. though for a few shot* the latter would have the advantage.

A Y’axxee Knife. —The editor of the Boston Post says that a newly invented Jo2cn-likv.lcdkr.ile lias been made by a’ yaukee cutler, which iias in addition to its blades, a cork-screw, a bodkin, a hair brush, and a boot jack, beside a season ticket to the theatre. AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 1852. Glass Making. The following ar.icie, which appeared originally J in the New York Herald, will be found to contain ! inueli interesting information which will well repay I a perusal. The invention of glass is one of the rarest pre sent* Providence Im- bestowed on man. Science and genius here lay no claim: and we are not of tho school which w'ould ascribe to chance the merit of an invention destined by the Almighty to be of sueii service to his erea'urcs. It is now impossible to trace it to its origin ; it seems almost as old as the keen aild brilliant obsidian—that volcanic glass which the fire belching mountains have been form ing since the world began. Egyptian hierogly phics, coeval, it is thought, with" the descent ot Jacob'- family to the Nile, represent the process of glass blowing. Beads have been found engraven with tiie name of the monarch whom moderns make the Pharaoh cf tiie Exodus, while those vast receptacles of the dead which cover both Upper and Lower Egypt, furnish from their mummy casts, vases, wine bottles, drinking cups, and trinkets of glass. Ceming, then, to the period of Looks, the oldest of ail—Job. written in tnc deserts ot Arabia—com pares it with gold; and Hebrew scholars find allu sions to glass vessels ill tiie book- of Moses. This does not fix tiie period of liis invention, but it ex plodes the fable by w hich I'liny accounts for its in vention. “A merchanta'iip,” says he, “laden with natron, being driven on the coast ut the mouth of tiie Beius in tempestuous weather, the crew were compelled to cook their victuals ashore ; and Lav ing pieced lump- of natron on tho sand, tosupport their kettles, found to their surprise masses of transparent stone among the cinders. The sand of this small stream ol' Galilee, which runs from the foot of Mount Carmel, was in consequence sup posed to posses a peculiar virtue for making glass, and continued foi ages to be sought alter and ex ported to distant countries forthis purpose.” It is a fact that glass was at a very early date known to tiie Phoenicians, and for a long time constituted an article of trade peculiar to that people’, as the in gredients—nitre, sand nnd lime—abound upon their coast. Natron, a kind of soda, is obtained from the waters of many lakes in that country, and takes its name from the lake “Natron.” According to Piiuy ih*J Strabo, the glass works of Sidon and Alexandria wore famous down to their davs, for tiie beautiful articles which they produced, cut, engraved, gilt, and stained of the most brilliant colors, so as to rival precious stones. Other glass liictories were then in successful opera tion in Gaul, Italy and Spain, and drinking cups of glass had at Rome entirely superseded those of metal, as they could be bad at eveiy priee, ranging from a cent to thousands of ..oilars. Numerous specimens of beautiful gloss vessels have reached ns, principally tho spoils of Hercula neum and Pompeii. Tiie Museo Borbonieo, at Naples, alone contains 2,40(9 specimens. Tiie most beautiful of all arc, however, tiie celebrated Port land vase, now in tlio British museum, which, when discovered in a tomb near Rome, was long considered by antiquaries to he a real -ugdonvx, and a cup in the possession of the Trivulsi family. Tho former is of dark blue glass, with tiie delicate relievos in white enamel; the latter as a cup df all tho liues of opul, set in a sort of net work of blue glass, and connected with it by stems of glass, while aiound tiie rim in relievo of green glass, are the words “ Bcbe, vivas multcs aunoa.” From marks on it, there can be no doubt but that the whole was not east, but cut out of a solid mass. Two cups, apparently like this, were presented to tho Emperor Adrien by an Egyptian priest. Tiie uses to which glass may be applied are various, and require different modes of prepara tion. Tlio chief are glass ware, window glass, looking glasses, and we may add, building glass. Os tiie use of glass vessels, we bavo already spoken. Window glass was not unknown to the Romans, in tlio topedurum of the public baths at Pompeii; a bronze lattice came to light, with some of the panes still inserted in the frame, and showing the manner in which they were -enured. Tlio gluss must have been blown by methods analagous to those now in use. Gia-s windows must have been, however, very rare, as pure transpar ent glass was extremely expensive. Instead of glass, windows were generally glazed with thin sheets of mica, or horn—glass' having come into general use only siuco tiie fifioonth century. Du ring the Crusades tlio Venetians studied tho pro cess of glass working in tlio factories of tlio East, and introduced it into Europe. Nor is the only benefit derived from there much decried expedi tions. The culture of silk also passed over to Venice, and thence to France, during liie.se ex peditionSj to which wo arc also indebted for the introduction of tlio sugar cane, several domestic animals, and many fruit trees and medicinal plants. On their return from Asia, tiie Venetians found ed a glass factory on the island of Murano, near Ve nice; and this establishment Ims continued its operations to our days. It was at this factory that tlio art of silvering was discovered, by winch a simple amalgam of mercury and tin transforms the plate of glass into a polished mirror, which no rust can dim. Tlio factories of Sidon had never at tained this—a thin plate of metal covered with glass was their nearest approach; hut these were not oateemod. Tho mirrors of the ancients were of polished metal—brass, steel, silver, or some composition found better suited to their purpose. For four centuries Venice enjoyed tlio monopoly of glass mirrors, and supplied" all Europe; lmt in 1665, Colbert, tiie groat Minister of Louis XIV., determined to enrich France by tins beautiful art. He. attracted workmen from Venice by tiie promise of great privileges, nnd founded the royal mirror factory, which soon surpassed Murano "itself, and lias since remained unrivalled. Then, however, tiie glass for mirrors was blown, as bottles are still, and tiie size was consequently very much limited, in 168 S, Abraham Thevurd invented the method of casting plate glass in tiie same way that iron is east. This has been of tiie greatest moment in tlio manufacture of mirrors, wliicli soon begun to increase in size, so that we now have looking glasses fifteen feet high. For a century, France supplied Europe and America with looking glasses; but the Reign of Terror, and t lio massacres of the first revolution, having ruined the factories, and annihilated tho commerce of France, many work men went over to England, where the first Britisli factory of looking glass plates was founded in 1798. It is too common a plan to uscribc tiie trans migration of tiie industrial brunettes ot France to tiie revocation of the edict of Nantz, as the key to explain cvciything. But. here exaggeration lias played its parts —the million of exiles for con science sake, whom Voltaire makes the burthen of liis charges dwindle down under tlio accurate statistical research of the Duke dc Noailios, and other members of the French Academy, to about two hundred thousand. This is undoubtedly lur too many. But Cromwell, in one year, shipped off at least ono-fonrth of that number from Ire land ; and that unfortunate country loses now, every year, by forced emigration, more than the reign of Louis XiV. lost for France; and tho legislation of England in the one ease, is far more oppressive and insidious than that of Franco in tiie other. Revolutions have ruined industry in France, more than intolerance. We have seen tiie result of that of 1789. That of 1830 decided many of tiie workers in g'ass to emigrate to Bel gium, where a factory of looking glasses was soon opened. There arc now six factories in England, one in Belgium, and a number of little ones in Germany; but French plate glass has nobly sustained its old renown, and like French silks and French wines, stands at the head oftho line. For tiie last twenty years, the Royal Factory of St. Goiiain, and tlio manufacture of Cirey, have a common agency and depot at New York, nnd this establishment sup plies the Union with looking glasses and plate glass. Tho use of large mirrors has become milch more fashionable among us; and in fact there is no finer decoration for our saloons. Tiie retail stores have made immense advances by the use of plate glass, and we need but walk along Broadway, to see how generally it lias replaced the old fashioned win dows. American industry has not vet been seriously turned to this manufacture, and importation from France, England and Germany supply all that is sold in tho United States. Tho fact "is that vast capital and consummate skill are required to bring to perfection the varied operations which trans form into a splcdid mirror the rough plate of glass, which, as in the iron trade, we might call pig glass. The grinding, the polishing, and tho sil vering, require costly machinery, great ability to prevent breakage, and a vast expenditure of mo •ney. This is not the case with common window glass; which is now successfully manufactured on a largo scale, at Boston, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and in the State of New Jersey. Venice also furnished tho first panes of window glass, and in tho fif teenth century, the kings of France, wishing to en courage this branch of industry, ennobled all who were employed in the manufacture, and granted them extensive privileges. Long after, the gen tleman glass workers never worked but with a sword at their side. Tiie window-glass manufac ture was first begun in England in 1557, in Cruteli ed Friars, London, and in 1635 tho art received a great improvement from Sir Robert Monse’.l, by tiie use of coal fuel of wood; but within the last few years French plate glass has supersed ed the use ot common window-glass in tiie man sions und dwelling houses in the fine quarters of New York, and our other great cities. It is, in deed, dearer; but the plates are so thick, and the glass so pure, that they last forever; while cylin der or crown-glass breaks or becomes rusty and opaque after a lew years’ uso. Another use of glass is, in rolling, for sky lights, and also in side-walks and floors, to turn base ments to advantage. Rough glass, for sky-lights and glass-titles, of one or two inches, are" manu factured in France, mid are in great demand here. With some openings in the floors, covered by these titles, dark basements eau now bo used, ev en in retail trade, which were formerly fit only as a place to store empty boxes and discarded furni ture. But we have lately seen glass, fragile as it is, put to a new uso—that of building. The walls of some of our salo*ns have, of late years seemed made ol glass ; and as far back as the days of Solomon, rabbinnieal stories tell us of a chamber in tiie palace of that monach paved with blocks of clear, transparent glass, under which flowed a canal fall ! of fish, so that it seemed a pond. But coming to 1 more authentic sources, we know that glass en tered extensively into the Roman mosiacs, and that in blocks of various colors it formed the ma terial of many of their tessclated pavements. Thick sheets of glass, of various colors, were also attached to the wails and eelings of apartments ; auJ in the year 55 before Christ, Scaurus decora j ted in tiiis way a compartment or tier in his gor ! fft-ons theatre. In the modern consevatories or j green houses, glass is the chief material; hut not ; til! tiie erection of the Crystal Palace had we seen i a whole structure, of any extent, raised of sheets of glass. I ,® u . arc many usess of glass, to which, if we ; add its employment- in optical and philosophical apparatus, we cannot but thank the Almighty for i teaching man to transform the apparently worthless j sand and soda into a material so brilliant, trans j parent and useful that the poets of all days have made it the theme of their most beautiful coin [ pansons—and even the inspired prophet employs j it ogmu and again in his description of the hea venly Jerusalem, “A sea of glass like erystal is before the throne of Godand, farther on, “tiie •** es God stand on this sea of glass mingled with fire,” and “the city itself is of pare gold, use to dear glass, and th’c streets as it were trans parent glass." A Death.—We learn through private sources that on the 15th mst.,l!rs. Lewis, aladv not more distinguished for her uncommon endowments of intellect than for the historical reminiscences at t-ichcd !o her family, died at Audley Clarke county Mrs. Lewis's maiden name was Eleanor Perkc Curtis.

Is the absence of our own Correspondent.’* Let ter, which we had hoped to have received ere this, fumi-diing a sketch of the Commencement Ex ercises at Oxfoijl, we gladly avail ourselves of the following account communicated by a Caro linian to the .Sootier* Christian Advocate. Whieh we feel tho more pleasure in transferring to our columns because the writer cannot be suspected to be influenced in Lis impressions by any local considerations or feelings of State pride: A TRIP TO OXFORD, OA. brother 117;// 'man. —After reading in the South ern Christian Advocate your notice of the approach ing Commencement Exercises, at Emory College, we resolved to attend, and form for ourselves an opinion in regard to tiie merits of that Institution, and tiie claims it has upon Southern Methodism for Support. We arrived in tiie rural and lovely village of Oxford, on tiie 17th in»t., and stopped at the hotel of our old Abbeville friend—Major Harper. Soon after we sailed forth and met our much-loved fricn-’., Professor Means, who cave us a hearty shake of the hand, and extended to ns a real Georgian invitation lo his hospital mansion,— an invitation whicli was not to be gotten around, “ without,” to quoth his own word.., “ doing vio lence to his own feelings.” This wus accepted, and the only unpleasant moment we experienced, during our sojourn, was occasioned in- parting with that kind, interesting, and intelligent family. God grant that the valuable life of Professor Mi ails may long be spared to bless liis family, tiie Church, and tiie colleges with which Lis name is associated. lin Sabbath morning we heard tiie commence ment sermon of tho Rev. Dr. G. F. l’ioree, which was a masterly effort, worthy of tlio preacher, und of Ids reputation. His venerable father was sit ting at liis feet, drinking in the full fruition of gospel truth as it flowed from the lips ot the elo quent son, und frequently did tho cup of liis en joyment flow over, and tiie exclamation of “Glory be to God” as it came from his lips, was heard uil over the house. \Ye almost envied him liis situa tion; at least we thought tin l if we were similarly siuiiited we could have exclaimed in the sincerity of honest hearts, “Now, Lord lettest thou thy servant partin peace." In the afternoon the father preach ed, and we could then realize why it was that the son was bo great a man—“like father like sou.” Tiie standard of true pulpit eloquence will have ascended to its zenith in Georgia, when that of the tiie two Pierces is rivalled. On Monday evening we heard tiie prize Declamations from several of the members of the Sophomore class, and while the whole was creditable, in the language of Go vernor Gilmer, who awarded the prizes, “ rery creditable,” the committee found it necessary to assign them to Messrs. McDaniel, Tebeau and Dawson. On Tuesday morning we heard twelve original speeches J'rotu as many members of the junior class, allot vvhioii were highly creditable— some of them even elegant, when wo consider the age of tiie speakers, and tho circumstances under which they were delivered. Two of them very amusing, the one—“ Old Bachelors! Cui be.no /” and the—“ Old Bachelors! Pro buno Puliico." That ancient and honorable class of gentlemen vv ire handled ratiicrroughly by botli of the speak ers, indeed, wo hardly knew whether Scyilu or Charybdis was tho most to lie dreaded. On Tues day evening, Dr. Hutchison of Oglethorpe, de livered an address to tiie Alumni of the College, and at night, L. Q. C. Lamar, Esq., ol Covington, addressed the Library Societies. Botli of these addresses were finished productions, and added much to the entertainment of the literary feast. On Wednesday morning the stage was occupied by the Graduating Class, some twelve of whom delivered original Orations on subjects of a high, moral and religions bearing, proving conclusively that the heart, us well as tho head, lud been at tended to during their Collegiate pupilage. Whilst, as a whole, the Graduating Class acquitted them selves w ith great credit in reference to the subjects discussed, as well as the manner of discussing them, some of them exceeded anything of the kind we have ever witnessed—indeed it was good tobctliore. The honors of the institution were conferred upon Messrs. Starr, <>rr, Mosley, Bass, and Turner, whilst no dishonor whatever attached to any of the remaining members of the class. Wo nuderstamd that there were almost twenty graduates. Tiie Degrees wore conferred by the President, whose Baccalaureate exceed anything of the kind we had remembered, it fell to the lot of Governor Gilmer to address tiie Sophomore prize Declaim jers, and it could not have fallen into better bauds. Tho Governor was very happy in bis classical al lusions, indeed tiie address was a finished produc tion, and was well worthy of tiie man whose wife is one among tlio most gifted, accomplished, and interesting ladies in the State of Georgia. She was there, and added much to tho occasion. By this time the audience had heard between forty and fifty speeches, the weather was quite warm, end it might well bo supposed that under ordinary circumstances, the literary and scientific appetite had been fully gratified; but no, another speecli had to be made which was tlio great crowning ef fort of tlio occasion. This address which was de livered to the Few and Phi Gramma Societies, was made hy the Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, u gentleman of high moral, li'erary and political reputation, but a man against whom" an unmerited prejudice exists in this State. Our opinion of Mr. Stephens was high, but we confess mingled with a little prejudice before we inudo liis acquaintance, but having been intimately associated with him for four or five days, wo parted with him not only di vested of tiie prejudice referred to, but with a feel ing of admiration. His address told upon the au dience, every word of it, und ho could have held the rivited attention of his audience for a half dozen hours. Tiie address is to be published, und will speak for iisclf.. In conclusion, wo will remark that Oxford is no ordinary place. There is a moral, religious, litera ry and scientific atmosphere pervading that com munity, rarely to he found. Tiie Professors would do honor to its European name-sake, and the Insti tution is a model one—just what such an Institution ought to be. •Abbeville. Bishop Andrews, in a letter to the same Jour nal, thus alludes to tlio Oration of Mr. Stephens : “And then, as the last dish in this literary re past, we had an admirable address from A. y. •Stephens, Esq., one of our representatives in Con gress. The services hud been so protracted that I loured tho orator could not hold tlio audience; but i was mistaken; tlio crowd remained, as if spell bound, to the close of one of tiie most able and appropriate addresses that 1 l ave: ever listened to on a similar oerasion.

Madison Female College Commencement. Mb. Editor : — While others arc chronicling tiie deeds of the “Great Captain,” and shouting the victories of Mexican heroes, it is pleasant to vary tho picture occasionally with the literary triumphs of the fair daughters of Georgia. In deciding their merits wo shall certainly be calmer than on battle-fields, since no limb is exposed however much tiie heart may lie ondiuigerod. There, too, wo shall be less partial than political partisans, since uono of tho ladies are candidates for tho Presidency, however we may suspect them of canvassing for Matriiiiony. I huvo lutely been a looker on in Venice, and will givo you what I saw and heard at the Madison Female College. The examination began on Monday the 27th of July, before a large and intelligent board of visi tors, and was conducted for two days and a half in tlio most thorough uffd scrutinising manner. Every one was struck witii the fairness of the tests to which the young ladies were subjected. Tho whole was conducted in reference to the merit of tho student and not for tiie eclat of tlio Professors. The Examinors were fully satisfied that no triek was used to impose upon them an unfair exhibi tion of scholarship. Tlio fact that such tilings have been done, litis created a general suspicion in the minds of the people, and lead the Professors the other way and made them unnecessarily strict. If any iault was to bo found, it wus more iu the particularity of those who examined than in tho deficiency of those examined. You need not sup pose tiiis designed as an apology for failure, but it is the proof of the confidence the faculty had in their clusses, and well did they sustain their in structors. Justice compels the admission, tliul the young ladies equal our College boys in their hardest studies and surpass them in the lighter branches. Few classes ever appoar sobriliantas those who recited the Evidences of Christianity, Rhetoric and Mental Philosophy. It is true, Ancient Languages, Natural Science and Mathe matics are not taught as extensively as in institu tions for young men, but they are taught us far as useful to tho female character. It was indeed an interesting sight to witness the rapid performances of these beautiful Mathematicians. Euclid and Legendre never seemed like poetry until worked out wi tlx fair hands and demonstrated witii sweet voices. You must not suppose there were no fail ures, for that would make them superior to men. There were some who, like other students I have seen, were not at homo in every calculation, but their blushes and sometimes tears made you be lieve it was more the diffidence oftho female than the confusion of the scholar. When too, it is re membered that each one had to pass tiiis test on tho platform, in tho presonco of a largo congrega tion, it is wonderful how well they succeeded ; acquitting themselves ns Mathematicians in Bpito of tho previous infidelity of tlio “lords of creation.” If these same “lords of creation” were drawtutp before such a crowd for mathematical demonstra tions, half of them would declare tlio “black-board” green and Euclid stupid. I understand tiie Faculty intend to enlarge tiiis part of the courso nnd give onr fair competitors a better chance to prove their powers lo figure. Lot boys look out. Madison College is now fully manned in tho Board of Instruction. Four Professors, boside tlio Principal of tho Preparatory Deportment, de vote themselves entirely to tho College. Tlio Pre sident, Rev. L. L. Wittieli, had au extensive rep utation for teaching before tho Institution was founded, and lias sustained it admirably. He is certainly in his place now,and few can equal him either in touching or governing. Ilis associates, Rev. Joseph 11. Echols, Rev. Joseph S. Key, and Mr. W. D. Williams, arc all men of character and talent. With a largo and commodious edifice, a good apparatus, and such a Faculty, Madison Fe male College must succcgd. Tlio Musical Department is under tlio care of Mr. George C. Taylor, assisted by Miss Robinson. His system is to teach by classes, and lie bus succeeded better than any of his predecessors. Os this wo had ample opportunity to judge. Every hour we were hailed witii a song or refreshed with an elo quent piece on the violin and piano. But tho Concert given by the Pupils, on Wednesday night, fully sustained tho wishes and expectations- of their friends. No one eould witness tho correctness es time, the delicacy of touch, and tho taste »f the performances, without admitting Mr. Taylor a mas ter in his profession. Long may ho continue to send forth from MadisoD Calliope, and her sisters to cheer tho homos of Georgia. Tho ornamental part of the course is superin tended by Miss Anna E. Robinson. There was a beautiful exhibition of painting, drawing and nco dlo work. Tho walls of the Chapel and the pillars were decorated with the skill of these young art ists. Many of these were well designed and finely executed—occasionally yon met a riclt ottoman, decorated with a dog and a flower-pot filled with exotics, or a drawing l eprcsonting a serenade by water, without a boat. The gallery did not present anything equal to the Vatican or Palaoe—but it was the studio of young Genius, where the first peneillings give promiso, if not of an Angelo, at least of au artist. , In my next, you shall have my criticism on tho Compositions of tha Junior and Senior Classes, and u description ot Commencement Day. Madison Female College Commencement. It lias been well said that a nation'* or a people's character for refinement may be best judged by in quiring into the nature of their gala days. With the Georgians, the Commencements of their litera ry institutions have become periods of relaxation from toil, friendly greetings, and festive pleasure. Instead of attending circuses, masquerades, balls, parties, routes and assemblies, woof late And our citizens, the young and the ola, the grave and the gay, lias f ening to pay their devoirs to the votaries of seisnee; and in its temple greeting with en couraging smiles those who have toiled long to win “ the gold of thought,” and at last are bidding an adieu to their Alma Maters, and stepping forth upon the theatre of active life. Another of these happy seasons, so often chron icled by us, has como and passed. The Commence ment Sermon at the Madison Female College was preached by Rev. Mr. Connor, on Sunday, July 25th, from the text, “ Mary hath chosen the heller part." The spacious chapel was well tilled by an attentiveflirfd interested throng. On Monday' the Examination began and continued until Wednesday eve. The young ladies answered with great readi ness the questions asked, and proved conclusively that they liad diligently improved their time, and received from their teachers careful mental train ing. The Juniors read their compositions on Wedne evening. Their themes were well chosen, and their thoughts happily arranged. We hayo not space to individualize, and point ont the merits of each. Suffice to say, none were destitute of merit: and they were not only well written, but well read. The graduating class of 1853 will be worth hearing, judging by the Juniors of 1652. The concert at night passed off well, the inter est of the occasion being heightened (to us) by the appearance of Master Rossini Taylor, (a son of the musical Professor) aged 6 years. Such a Lili putian musician is not often seen. Commencement opened with prayer and music. Miss Ann E. Johuson, read the “ Salutatory —The South—her liteary prospects.” Miss Lavmia A. Swinney, descanted upon “ The Power of Mind." Miss Martha A. Fannin, after evincing some timidi ty, acquitted herself admirably, and read an ex cellent piece upon the thought, “1 would not be a child again. Miss Ann A. Kimbrough, read an article upon “Selfishness.” Miss Emilv T. Moore, upon “ Toe Power of Association.” Miss Mildred O. yVest, “ Style.” Miss Louisa L. Mor gan, “ Books.” Miss Helen L. Jones, “The Harp of Memory.” Mias Jane C. Robson, “Coming events cast their shadows before.” Mias I)yo nitia Starke, declared that He th»t hath no silver on his tongue, Should have silver in his purse. Miss Rebecca Latimer, read in a clear and beantiful ly modulated voice, an ossay on “ Poetry—its practical nature and moral tendency,” and gave the Valedictory to the Trustees and Faculty. She was followed by Miss Virginia Wray, who spoke of the “Battle of Life,” and gave an affecting Valedictory to her class. The degrees were afterwards conferred, the Graduating Song sung, and a literary address de livered by Hon. W. IL Felton. The latter will be published, and, we hope, extensively circulated.— Visitor. Correspondence of Chronicle <t Sentinel. Commencement at Yah; College. New Haven, JtLV 30, 1552. Mr. Editor: Being on a tour of observation through the northern portion of our country, and thinking that items of travel might prove interest ing to the readers ofyonr paper, I have determined to send yon a few, leaving it at yonr'discretion to receive or reject them as you may deem best. Having left Augusta for the purpose of being present at the Commencement exercises of Vale College I arrived in this beautiful city on Monday last, and even at that early day found the place overflowing with strangers from all portions of the land. It seemed as if old Yale was a mighty magnet, attracting from extreme points her nu merous sons whom she had sent forth from time to time; for betels, private boarding houses and even private houses were filled with visitors. On Wednesday the meeting of the Alumni was held under the capacious canvass stretched on the green. The meeting was extremely interesting, for it was a re-union of those who had walked to gether in years gone by through the halls of learn ing, and now, after a separation of -many years, Had again met to join hands and welcome each other once more around their Alma Mater. The fliost conspicuous among tlio Alumni were those of the class of 1802, who met to hold their semi centennial meeting. Though many summers had passed over their heads, they still looked as if fifty more might yet bo seen. •Numerous speeches were made on the occasion by members of differ ent classes, nnd were received with high feelings ot gratifleation. Among the speakers was Prof. Siiliman, who in the courso of his remarks spoke of tho ladies. Ho referred to tho fact that the degreo of Mistress of Arts was now conferred by femaio colleges, lie thought it would be better to prefix “ lie” before nrts, as ladies are undoubtedly “ Mistress of Hearts,” and that tho host diploma possible to be conferred on woman, was a happy household and an honored and respcctod husband. At night, a meeting of tho Phi Beta Kappa Soci ety wus held in one of tho churches on the Green, for tho purposo of listening to an oration from E. W. Whipple, Esq., and a poem from Rev. Mr. Pierpont. ’Tis useless forme to say that both wore good, especially tho production of Mr. Whipplo. liis subject wasttio “ English Mind,” whoso qual ities lie showed up in their true light and in a masterly manner. A large audionco greeted the speakers, completely filling up trio capacious church. Thursday was Commoncomont Dny, and a most lovely day it was. Nature seemed to put forth ail her beauties, os if to givo a bright beginning to the career of thoso who from that time wero to launch their barks upon tho billows of a tossing world. At an early hour the church was filled with the beauty of tho city, and of all portions of tho Union, and to tho observer, admiring tho ma lty pretty faces arrayed before him, it seemed 1 ike a spot in fairy-laud. I have never seen a more beautiful Beene, nnd soldom boforo, so great a ma jority of haudsomo ladies among so largo a num ber. After tho procession composed of th o Alum ni aud students had entered the church, the exor cises commenced, whieh were similar to those customary at tho commencement of every college. The speakers acquitted themselves in the most croditablo manner, and their compositions were a proof oftho benefits to be derived from a collegi ate courso through old Yale. The graduating class was a very large one, numbering some nine ty or more, and was composed of young men front all parts of the land. Among them was Wm. L. Rowland, of Augusta, who took a high stand for scholarship in liis class, entitling him to tlio de gree es an Oration at Commencement, and which, by the by, was a fine production. At tho conclu sion of tho speaking, tho diplomas were given to tlio class and after the conferring of the degreo of M. A., on the class of 1849, the exercises were brought to a eloso. Afterwards the graduates hold a meeting on tho Green, and after the singing of an ode, with sorrowful hearts, bid each other furewcll. And tints ended Commencement Day at Yale. Yours, &c., \ J.

The Philadelphia Evening bulletin confirms tlio report of tho rich discoveries of pure Galena at the twenty fathom levol of tho Chester county (I’a.) Mining Company’s Works. Tho vein of this depth is sixteen inches wide, and of solid galena. Tiiis is considered to establish tlio permanent success and value of the inino. The Company, it is said, arc sending to market 800 pigs of lead per weok. Tho imports of dry goods, for tho month of July, are $1,600 below those of July, 1851, and $4,300,- 000 leas than in July, 1850. From tho tables pub lished by tho New York Journal of Commerce, the imports since Ist January are $7,250,000 less tlian in tho corresponding period of last year. The amount in warehouse is very small, aud stocks have nover been workod down so generally low. The tables are made up to the 9th July. Tho “Brothers Rand” aro now undergoing triul at Portsmouth, for the charge of being concerned in the great hank robbery in that town in January last. Tlioy are dofonded by Messrs. K.

The Baltimore Clippor thinks “that if mombers of Congress would attend more strictly to their legitimate business, and less to the distribution of political pamphlets, they would earn tho money which they recoivc from the people more honestly than they do at present.” Marysfillo (California) has, by tho census, a population of 4500 souls, 243 being females. It has 4 churches, one being I’resbytcrian, two Methodist, and ono Catholic. Seventy children attend Sunday Schools. Tho cholera broke ont, it is said, in Buffalo on Saturday, causing great alarm and driving many persons out of the city. A gentleman, bis wife, two children and clerk all died in the course of a few hours. Pennsylvania State Debt.— The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin says the full amount of the semi annual interest on the Pennsylvania Stato debt, was deposited in the Bank ol Pennsylvania on Saturday. Bitten bt a Spider.— On the 22d ultimo, Mr. John Morrison, of Lancaster, Mass., was bitten on one of his fingers by a block spider. The finger soon commenced swelling and became very pain ful, and the disease has extended over his system to such a degree that he lies in a dangerous condi tion. Ilia physicians thing there is but little hope of his recovery. On tho 26th of July there were in the Treasury of the United states and other despositories of the public moneys $15,901,503.72 —of which $1,454,- 767.78 was duo on drafts already drawn, and $14,- 449,222.60 subject to draft. lion. John A. Quitman was requested, in a let ter from tho Democratic Committee of Jackson, Mias., to address a meeting of that place, in favor of the Democratic ticket. His reply declines tak ing nny active or prominent part in tho canvass, because the Baltimore Convention endorsed the Compromise. The St; Louis Republican says that the newly appointed Governor of New Mexico, General Lane, has arrived in that city, and, having accepted the appointment, will leave in a few days for Santa Fe. Remarkable Phenomenon near Madison, Ga.— We arc indebted to Prof. Loud of the Georgia Fe male College, for the following statement which he obtained from Mr. Baldwin.— Visitor. “A most remarkable electrical phenomenon was seen at the plantation of Charles J. Baldwin, Esq., about five miles from this place, on Tuesday, June Bth, 1852. Mr. Baldwin was standing in his back porch, when, immediately after a pretty severe flash of lightning, be obsci ved a ball of fire at CO or 70 yards from him. The ball when first seen, appeared about a foot in diameter. It instantly began to expand, throwing off beautiful scintillation, continued to enlarge and scintillate until it had become 10 or 12 feet in diameter, when it disappeared. Mr. B. says it was the most beautiful sight he ever be held. His family both white and blaok who saw it, were very much alarmed, but he was apparently so much interested as to l’eol no alarm. He has exam ined his Cotton where it appeared, and observed no signs of injury. It must have been visible for some time, say 50 or 60 seconds, os the negroes ran in the house and gave the alarm and returned before it disappeared.” Interesting Discovery—Nati-rai.

The supply, however, has hitherto proved in sufficient for the demand. On Thursday afternoon I ast, whilea workman was engaged in drilling for a farther sunply of water in the well at the Johnson House, a fissure was reached, from which on the withdrawal of the drill, and constant enr rent of gas issued, with much force, through the water. Upon placing a tunnel over tiio jet arid ap plying a candle, the gass ignited, throwing a column of flame to the top of the well, near twenty feet, and bnming the man severely. Up to the present lime, the gas continues to issue unfailingly, and it is the intention of the proprietors of the hotel to apply it to immediate use in lighting their build ing. .

Going, but.not where swords Are flashing in the sun, And the clarion's clang, and the dram’s tattoo Proclaim the fight begun. Not where the heart’s best blood Is poured like crimson wine, And patriot lives are offered up At Freedom’s holy slu ine! But from the tented Held And the Deice campaign of life, Where Discord’s trump and Sin’s tattoo Are catling hosts to strife; Up to tiie King whose might The victory hath won, I go to lay my laurels down— • . Sit near me, oh my ton 1 Near me, for I would tell My deathless love anu high, For our fair land, whose mountains pierce The secrets of the sky; • Whose rushing rivers dash Inqmtuous to the sea, And whose mighty hearts are fortresses Os cherished Liberty!

Oh! that her aged face Might greet me ere I tread The silent pathway leading through The valley of the dead! It may not be, but free As our own proud streams I go To the tranquil seas of heaven, where There is no ebb anil flow ! Draw near—the world recodes — Beneath the crumbling arch Os death’s dark gateway swift I pus* Upon my upward march !

From the Philadelphia American. The I'onl'cssiun of the NhiipiiiHki*. We leant that Wm. B. Mann, Esq. acting Dis trict Attorney, in the absence of Wnt. B. Reed, Esq. at present making a tour of Kuropo for the benefit of his licnith, lias boon put in possession of a confession from tho brothersSkupinski, now un der sentence of death, which is so startling in its character, as to cause a universal shudder at its re cital. Our readers will remember a statement publish ed about a month since, giving; tho details of u con fession made by Matthias Skupinski to a country man of his own, named Skaiviuski. That individ ual hud formerly been acquainted witii tlio older Skupinski, and visited him nt tlio Movmnonsing prison. Matthias made a confidant ot' him, and told him a fearful tulo of crime and bloodshed in which lie had been a conspicuous actor. Accord ing to this statement, tho aggregate number of per sons murdered by him and liis friends wero not loss than oiglity, while thirty housos wore burned by tiie same party. Tiiis confession was dotuiled to Mayor Gilpin by tho recipient of tho disclosure. Tlio story was published in tlio newspapers at tlio time, and caused considerable sensation. Col. Korponay wont to tlio prison and translated tlio wlioio statement to Matthias, who denied having made n confession. On tlio strength of this, Col, Korponay eaine out in tlio papers witii acurd, con tradicting the story, and charging Mr. Skawinslci with having fabricated the whole statement and sworn to a tolsoliood. It now appears that Blaise, tlio younger of tiie wvotclied brothers, was shown tlio confess ion of Matthias at the timo it was first published, and acknowledged its truth. Tiiis endorsement ho lias not withdrawn sinco. On Thursday lust Matthias evineod somo little signs of contrition, and in the morning, in tiie pre senco of the Rev. Wnt. Alexander, the chaplain of 1 tiie prison, and Louis Tottssig, tlio sworn in terpreter, lie mndo a full confession of liis crimes, lie said that ho killed tlio boy Behimiti hy striking 1 him on tho head with the iron leg of a stove, and 1 that lie and Kaiser cut up tho body. Blaiso, lie says was not prosont nt tho time. Hit told of a sorios of crimes whieh fully corroborates the statement made by Mr. Skawiuski. To tiiis terrible tulo of blood, Matthias added the dceails of several fear- 1 ful scenes, scones in which lie und his companions 1 were tlio actors. On tho afternoon of tho samo day Matthias made 1 another confession, whieh tallied with tiie first in ’ all its shocking dotuils. This second disclosure 1 was made in tho presonce of Sheriff Deal, Deputy < Sheriff' Millor, Rev. Alexander, Mr. Anthony 1 Freed, keeper of tiie prison, Mr. Henry C. Snyder, ' and Mr. Toussig, tiie interpreter. Matthias says ’ that Blaiso acted in concert with him aud Kaiser ‘ in most of these outrages. 1 From the story told by tiiis monster, it is believ- < od hy soino, that ho and his associates were tho 1 perpetrators of the Cosdcu and Bertie murders, ; and many others which have been involved in > mystery. Tlio feeling of contrition evineod by the < eldest of tho brother./, on Thursday, appeared lmt ( temporary. During tlio recital of liis misdeeds, hi displayed a great deal of fierceness, and Said ' that he was no worse than other folks.

NOCRSE, Acting Register. The liouisvillc Times makes the following state ment concerning a grant mad* by tlio Mexican Go vernment to the American: “ It will be remembered that Commodore Porter of our navy, engaged in the service of Mexico during her revolution against Spain,and continued in her navy until tho close of tiie struggle. After the war was closed. Mexico offered him a grant of land as tlio reward for iff a valuablo services, anil gave him tho selection of it. He selected tlio re gion lying about the Gulf side terminus ot the pre sent proposed Tehuantepec rente, which his sagaci ty, even at that early day, taught him would bo inovitably demanded by the commerce of tlio world. Com. Portor possessed himself of, and pre served, deposited in un iron box, well secured, tho evidences of this grant, and at hia death be queathed them to his son, Lieut. Portor, now of our Navy. This box, a few days after tiie deatli ol Com. Porter in Washington city, was found to iiave been abstracted from the place where lie hud always kept it, and has nover been recovered to this day. But there can be no doubt of the binding force df tiiis grant, and its priority to all other grants of the same ground. We presume that the evidences of it are in existence among the areiiives of the Mexican Government, and wo have reason to believe that Col. Sloo, who has been in timately associated with, aud perhaps, is an au thorized agent of Lieut. Porter, made thisgruiit the basis of his successful application to the Mexi can Government for tho grant which lie lias ob tained. Ifsuoli agrant as that to Com. Portor is to be found among tiie records of tlio Mexican Govern ment, and we have no doubt of its existence, 4t of course mtlifies all subsequent grants and takes precedence, and our own Government, witii the proofs of it present' d, would ot course be compel led to withdraw from insisting upon the Garay or liargous grant.” Tall Cbimtoevs.—We perceive by our exchanges that a line of Btoamboats is now in course of con struction to run on tlic Thames, which arc to he built without any chimneys.

On tho late snd occasion of Mr. Clay’s doatli it was usual to find in tho biographical skctcl.os or remarks concerning him ami his political career in the journals styling theuisolves democratic, some allusions to his change, os they chose to de signate it, from democracy to federalism during Gou. Jackson’s administration. Now it is per fectly well knowiwthat Mr. Clay did not change his political principles at all at that period; it is perfectly well known that tho same system of policy which ho hud sustained before the accession of Gen. Jackson to the Presidency was sustained bv him afterwards with undeviating consistency. All this is known. Yet there aro to bo found journals claiming tho reputation of intelligence and accuracy, that gravely deplore Mr. Clay s con version or perversion to federalism ut that time, and speak ou the subject as though they were actually telling tho truth; and possibly some ot them may believe Unit they are. The only measure of publio policy respecting which Mr. Clay over did ohunge his opinions and his course was that which involved tho constitu tionality and the propriety of a Hank of tho United States. Ilia position at tirst was adverse to such an institution; nnd when lie afterward changed his ground, and oumo up to tho support of tho financial policy of a National Bank, it was when that policy constituted an important part of tho democratic system of policy under tho democratic administration of Madison. In tho matured and well considered opinion ot Mr. Clay tile condition of the country, ut the close of tho war with Eng land, imperatively required the restorative agency to a National Bank to givo organisation once more of tho currency and to restore a wholcsomo circu lation to tiio exhausted channels, of trade. A democratic ('resident thought so too. But tho American System formed tho prominent and characteristic features of Mr. Clay’s general system of public measures, nnd to that ho gave his earnest nnd.hearty support—as tho Whigs of tho United States uro prepared to do now, or whenever it may be in their powor to do so with an prospect of success. The American Systcpi, including pro tection to domestio labor and tiro improvement of rivers and harbors to facilitate connnerco between tho States and with foreign countries, was a demo cratic system under "Madison’s administration ; for it was established then and received the sanction of that distinguished statesman. In 1824, when Gen. Jackson was for tho first time a candidate for the Presidency, there wus lioeandi duto of tho Federal party in tho field. Mr. Ad ams, Mr. Crawford nnd Mr. Clay, who wore tho other competitors, all belonged to tho Democratic party. The Federal party, as such, had ceased to exist, and when tho issue was formed between Gen. Jackson nnd Mr. Adams which resulted in tlie election of tho fonnorto the Presidency in 1828, the leaders of the Federal party, for the most part, went to tho support of General Jackson. Those gentlemen, many of whom took prominent posi tions in the Jackson party, now delight in being known as Democrats, and some of them have been remarkable for tho zeal and industry with which they have sought to distinguish themselves in tho servico of modern democracy, ns though it wore their purpose to atouo tor tho ferocity of their as saults upon the democracy ol Jefferson and Madi son. The sohool of modern democracy dates no farther hack than the administration of Gen. Jackson, 110 was its founder first ami its expounder afterwards ; and so long as he lived it could bo pretty woll ascer tained what was democratic and what was not—a question which in tlioso Inter years bus become very muoh perplexed. If Gen. Jackson had favor ed a National Ban It as Madison did, why, then, a National Bank would have been democratic; if ho had sustained tho American system as Mr. Madi son did, the policy of protecting domestio labor would have been democratic, and it would have also been democratic to ndmlt tlie constitution al power of tho government to improve rivers and harbors and to facilitate botli internal nnd fo reign commerce. But inasmuch ns Henry Clay wns tho great cham pion of that general system and had committed the unpardonable offence of preferring Mr. Adams to Gen. Jackson, in 1824, tho champion was to ho at tacked in his system, and botli must be prostrated together, if Gen. Jackson and his party were strong enough to do it. Then it was that tho diseovory was suddenly made that Mr. Clay was a federa list, although his political course and principles exhibited no shadow of nclmugc; then it was that tho adherents of Gou. Jackson and nono othors were found to ho ontitled to tho designation of democrats , notwithstanding tho federalism of many ol their prominent leuders. It. bccamo at once Ue mScrutic to denounce tho whnlo system of demo cratic policy established in Madison’s time—be cause Mr. Clay supported it, and wished to see it developed in accordance with its true principles nnd its adaptation to tho advancing growth of tho country. Democracy then took its negative form nnd found its function in destroying. The party in opposition to General Jackson’s ad ministration and headed by Mr. Clay took tho name of Whig- —a name connected with so many Patriotic associations that tho other aide sought to mpair its influence by applying along witli it tho appellation federal, which was supposod to carry some odium wherovor it was nttuebed. But tho application of tho term to tho Whigs is not more incorrect in point of fact than tho ordinary politi cal uso of tlie term itself is sonseloss. The party that framed tho Federal Constitution in tho Con vention of 1787, supported it afterwards in tlie several States, and finally established it upon the ruins of tlie old Confederation, wore first designa ted federalists, nnd tho designation was appropri ate and ohnrnotoristio. The loader of tho federal party was George Washington, a man of some re pute in his day, nnd generally believed to he a sincoro lover of his country uml a friend to fVeo dom. Wo believo that tho term democrat was taken from tho Frcnoli revolutionists, who used it us nntagonistienl to tho term aristocrat, then a torm of reprobation in Frunoo. This was a proper uso of it; but there is no antagonism between tho terms democrat and federalist— nono vrhatover. • Mr. Jefferson wns strictly correct when ho said in his inaugural nddress, “Jl's arc all federalists, we are all democrats." All who tlivortlie Uuion are federalists—because it is a Federal Union; all who favor tho republican form of government, as it ex ists among tho Ktutcs of th« Union, aro democrats —becauso universal suii'rago among eitizons, which is tho husis of our ropnbllcunisin, is tho essential principlomf domoernoy. There is no principle of democracy involved at all in any question ns to tho rolativo powers of the Federal Govommont and thoso of tho States. De mocracy sustained nud strengthened tho powers of tlie Federal Government, and curried ihem almost to tho extont of despotic force, when Gen. Jackson wus President. It finds no antagonist in federal ism, except that it would prefer a moro thorough centralization, whioh, In an probability, it will ef fect it at somo fut ure time.— Balt. American.

With tho gen tleman nominated I have long bcon acquainted. To him nor to tho Democratic nominee have 1 uny personal objection; but if elected, he is pledged to maintain the outrages, the revolting crimes, pertain ing to like (Lmprnmise measures and Fugitive .Slave Isvur, to which I havo called attention—to render them perpetual, so fur as he. mag he al t ie—to prevent all discussion relating to them.

But, sir, why vote for Scott In preference to Fierce? Os tho men I say nothin)!;. They merely represent tho doctrines of the parties who nominated them. If there ho a difference between thoso parties, it is on the slave question.

Scott’s letter in reference to tiio Fugitive Slave Law ; and is therefore exempted from the pledge to veto any bill repealing or weakening tho law, winch was exacted from Gen. Cass aud all other candidates. There has been an unlimited amount of quibbling on the part of tho Bichmond junto in connection with this affair; and, wittingly or nnwittinly, our contemporary of the Union lias been a participa tor in tho whole of it. First, wo hud a burst of grandiloquence on the sagacity that prom pted Mr. Scott’s interrogatories, and the patriotism off those who answered them ; then wo were assured that tho same interrogatories were sent to General Fierce, who happened to be from home when they arrived; then it was explained that Gen. Pierce hod positively written or w<#ld positively write in reply, and that yie Country should see it without delay ; then wo woro told that the. reply was snug ly stowed away in Mr. Scott’s pocket, but that Us publication was no longer necessary ; and then wo were reminded that the holders of the reply wero tho best judges of thecoursc to be pursued in re gard to it, and were not to bo dragooned by Whig inquisitiveness into any different plaD. But Whig inquisitiveness could not he so staved off. Jt re turned to the subject from day to day, and lias finally succeeded in penetrating the rhinoceros hide of tho Democratic eonseicnce-keepers, ainl in extorting a confession that Gen. Pierce never a.iswered Mr. Scott, and that Mr. Scott is there fore unable to produce Gen. Pierce's letter. Mr, Scott writes to the Bichmond Enquirer to say that the party are satisfied with Gen. Pi erco’s letter to Col. Lully of Baltimore—read by Mr. Kitcbio at tho Washington llatification meeting —and need nothing else. That letter, however <locs no' touch the question whether if elected, Mr. Fierce would iutornose the veto in support of tho Fugitive Jaw, and consequently fells fur short of the point which the letter wontd have compelled him to touch, The Lnqnirer assured us at tiio outset that no man not so pledged could reocivo the support of the Domocraoy; und tho Uuion cried Amen. • .
