which followed immediately aft r they bad reiiroj.
Sp es have, however, infer i6d tte authorities in
tno most positive manner that the Russians sore
prepared to retreat, and bad all in read ncs-i to
cever a re’.rogra-lo movomeut, ia the fleet
succeeded in forcing a passage, and the allies
evinced a de erm'uation or throwing their whole
force against the north side. Their fluid guns and
guns cf position were all in reudiness, and were
slreugtheced by a very large cirps of csvalry,
wh'ch would hold cur infantry in check, and our
cavalry could no% of course, get over the water iu
than several daye, nor could it gain the heights
o Mackenzie un'ees tho infantry had previously
established thomf-eives there. Everything
loroseen and calculat' d, and the Russians wero in
hopes that they might catch ne at a d'dodvantage,
amid some of their fortified positions iu ad fficnlt
countty, and retrieve thsir past dinnsters, or, tu all
oventn, make a masterly retreat. Bat rhen they
saw that all was hesitation, if not confusion, in the
arn y c f tlio allies, tlioy iccovercd their courage,
sir e.i the situation iu the-face for one moment,
and the next wero busily employed in making tho
best of it, and thiy have u>w erected such batte
riesas to shut up Ire harbor to our present navy,
and to reuoor any attempt to it as rash as it
would be tindersirab e. Yesterday they finished
a new line of bat terits, today we begiu to moke
some in reply.
Ihe papers which arrived yesterday must be
amubit g io tho au‘ l orities, fer they have apsuredly
fi'sifled all those absurd ant'-c.paiions of farther
victory, of utter routs, of vigorous and of
energetic action, iu which these mere writers and
• eaders—man who have read Thucydides till they
aro atupified, and have muddled their brains
poring over Listorios of and lives of
rals, and who have musty traditions about your
Tatars, Alexanders, Bonapartes, ai d We lirgtone,
involving di.-agrooublo inferences a» d compuri
-•oue- have ridiculously and unjvstifiably ndalged.
B it could we hove moved had our Generals been
so minded ? Is it tho case that as steam has im
peded the action of cur fleet the Land Transport
has stopped tho march < f our army ? I am esureri
that Col. M’Mflrdo will not permit any euch as
serlion to bo nude, for with certain small help of
men tho array ho professed to bo reidy to t-.kothe
field and to carry provisions and ammunition for
our available strength of bayonets detaohed on a
short expedition. As to the French, they have
certified their mobility by the rapid demonstration
of four divisions ou Baidar. Then, why did not
the English move? There were orders and 7
couu’er orders day alter day—requisitions on
Captain this to know how many mules he had to
cur r y ball cartridge, orders to Captain that to turn
out his battery, iu order to take tno field at day
break next morning; counter ordors iu the ovtn
ing recouiitcroda nd retracted at night, till it vtas
hard to say what was to be done; and il the men
who gave tho commands wero iu half as confused
a s'.i-tQ ot mind as tho*>e a ho received them, they
wero indeed iu a pitiable plight. Cato with his
Plato couid not have been at all puzzled like unto
thorn. Wo did not move, and people say it is
because we bad no means of transport to carry
tho Land Transport Corps; but t> at 1 don’t believe
was tue ißs- ou of our immobiii y- What that
reason wa-» fat be it from me to pretend to say.
It is q lite evident that the oxpeciations of the
people at home huvo not been gratified to s»ie lull
xtent, and that they aro not in undisputed pos
ess oo ot Sebastopol, that the Kalians are not
utterly dtf-ated, ami that tno c» i K «/>e» niii
to be renewed next year by doing what might buve
oeeu done throe .weeks ago. Ho.v many men will
Russia have in the Crimea by tho time t o ountry
ts fi: fir military operations, should she be do
term nod to hold it, and be able to main'ain the
war ? Ou the north side there aro low houses, but
there aro very largo rntgazines. First, on the
western extremity of the northern Btaoro stands
Foil Constan’ino. The roof is covered in to agroa 1
depth with sandbags, and there are large guns
mounted on it en barbette, but there are a large
number cf tho embra-urea empty, and do no show
guns. A vory f eavy parapet with traverses—in
tac', a line ol batteries—strikes outfrom the north
side of tho fort, atd crests tho s award face of the
cliff, communicating with the Wasp Fort, Star
Fort, and the works of the sea defences towards
the mouth of the Belbek. Next to Constantine on
the harbor, there is a large earthwork, with heavy
gens, behind which is the citad3 , which has re
cently been much strengthened, and is ;n a com
a anding po?ition on a hillside. Next com; more
earthworks, a large 8 one storehouse, end the case
mated walls of Fort Catharine, with two tiors ol
guns; then more earthwork--, till the lino of do
fence mer. e* into tno works ot lukermuna. In
fact, Fort Constantino, Sivcrnaia, Fort Michael,
and Fort Catharine, with their connecting works,
and the citadel and forts in their rear, form ouo
great battery, too far to injure behind
Sobrstopo), but quite able to stand any iufantry
attack Jrom the south side. Tho difficulty cf the
north side was foreseen all along—foreseen, but
not provided for. In fact, there was no step taken
to Hisuretho possession of the fruits of our labor.
Wo did uol prepare for success, and wo have now
to lace a new campa ; gn, and the Russians havo
seven or eight mouths to strengthen themselves,
to recruit their cxh&ustid army, to gather new
materul, and to dispute our progress with fresh
slaughter, which leaves us victory but half en
joyed.
THK GRAVE YABD CN CATHCABT S HILL.
In times to corno it wi l boa chosen terminus of
Sax n pilgrimage, ilraCathcart’s hill. W hetberthe
traveller beholds from its humble parapet the lair
aspect ol the Imperial city, guarded by threefold
mightier batteries than now, or bits upon the bro
ken wall to gaze upon It e ruins of Subastopol, he
must, if lie has any Briti&h blood in bis veins,
regard with emotion that spot which encloses all
that was mortal of some of tho noblest soldieTe
who ever sprung ;rom our warrior race. He will
see the bite ol those tedious trenches where the
trong waxod weak day after day and the sanguine
beeame hopeless, and where tho British soldiers
fought through a terrible win cr with privation,
cold, frost, snow, and rain, more terrible and dead
ly than the tiro of tho enemy. With the Redan,
the Malakhoff, the Quarries, the Mamelon, Gor
don’s attack, Chtpman’s attack, uuder his oyes,
to will revive witn tLo aspect of the places whe. e
they stood tte memories of this great struggle, and
ronew the incidents of its history. How many
more ot our gal ant c fillers this cemetery may hold
it is impostible to sa;. ;it is too lull already. It is
a para! elogram ot about 4-) yards long ly 80 yarde
broad, formed by the base of a ruined wall, which
might in former days have marked the lines of a
T.rtat ort,or havo been the first Russian redoabt
to watch over the intaney of Seoastopol. A!
though many a humble tumnlus indictates to the
«*ye of affection tho pl-C9 w! ere some beloved
comrade rests till tho last revei!, the care and love
of friends hero and at home have left memorials in
solid stone of moat of those wheso remains are
rearing here.
The first of tho graves, towards the front and
west cf the cemetery consists cf a simple mound
of oarth. 1 kucw not who lies below. Tho sec
md is marked by a simp’o slab, with the following
inscriprioii: “peered lo tho memory of L : eutea
art H- Tyron, R fla Brigade, killed m action cn
the 20th November, 1554.” Ha was a thorough
soldier, brave, cooi and rcsoiutc, and in the terri
ble crisis cf lukermann, he u?ed a rifle with mere
deadly certainty and success than any of bis men.
Iu the struggles for the -‘O fens” or ‘ Q tarries” cn
the *2ota cl November, in which a small body ol
the R tie Brigade dislodge! a force ot the enemy
much greater than their own, he displayed such
g&llaD’ry ere he fe i, that General Canrobert paid
him the rare honor of a special mention in the
next “g neral order of the day” for the French
army. N*xt to him repose the remains of a la
mented officer. The stone records his name:—
“S cred to the memory ot Brigadier General Tbos.
L igb Goldie, command ng the fin*t brigade of the
fourth division of the British Army, Lieutenant
Co one! oi the Fifty seventh regiment, who fell at
Inkerir.Bcn, November 5, 1854.” No.4is a rude
cross of st ue wit out mark or name. The fifth
grave is diatiDguis: ed by a s one cross at the feet,
and at the hea l is a slab with an ornamented top,
beneath which is written, ‘‘Sacred to the memory
ol Brigadier General Fox S’.rangways, killed in
action Novemoer 5, 1554.” A few lines in Rus
sian a-k the Christian for earauce of our ensrcies
after ve have gone, for the bones of one whom
they would have admired and loved had they
known him. No. 6 is conspicuous by a larg?
tombstone, w-.th an ornamented cross at the top,
a-:d some simple efforts of the chisel at the sideb
and ba>e. Come here aDd read: “Here lie the
mortal remains of Capt. Edward Stanley, 57 h regi
ment, k 11-.-d at the battle of lukermann, Novem
ber 5 1354 to wnose memory this stone is ereced
by the men of his company—‘Cast down DUt not
destroyed,’ 2i Corinthians, iv. 9.” Who does not
look wit re>pect on these poor soldiers, and who
does not feel envy tor the lot of one so h: nored ?
There are 14 other graves in the same row, of
which only one is identified.
Sir GeorgeCathcart’s resting place is marked by
a very fine monument, lor which his widow has
expressed her thanks to those who r&ised it to the
memory of tte r beloved commander. There is an
nscriplion upon it, ccmmcmorat ng the General’s
services, and the fact that he served with the Rns
sian armies in one oi their most memorable cam
ps goa—the date ol hia untimely and glorious
death, and an inscription in the Russian language
staring who and what he was who repo&es beneath.
In the i-ecoud row to the ea--t there are two graves
without any inscriptions on the stones; the tnird
is marked by a very handsome circular pillar of
bewu stone, surmounted by a ero6s, an i placed
upon two horizontal slabs. On the pillar below
tt e cross in front is this inscription:—“To Lieu
tenant Colonel C. F. bevmour, Soots Fosileer
Guards, killed in action, Nov. 5,1554;” beneath
the>e words are a cross sculptured in the stone,
and the letters, 44 1. H. 8;” aud there is a Russian
inscription on the back to save the tomb from
desecration. At the foot ol the tomb, there is an
elaborately carved stone iraenge surmounting a
slab, and on the ieaengi is engraved the crest of
the deceased, with seme heraldic bird springing
from the base ol a coronet, with the legend “Foi
pour devoir. C. F. 6. JE:. 86.” How many an

tcratf Cioee at hand ia;t» handsome monument to

TheCxarat omki4.—The Ost Deu-sche Post
cOQtaith the follow nz letter of ,he 29 h, from
Odessa:
Tne unexpected arrival cf his Majesty the En
Deror at a qutrter to six on the morning of the 25th
has taiouisbed everybody. H s majesty was ac
companied by the Grasd Dok-s M : chae! and
Nicholas. In a9 far as is the object of
their journey was to see that Nichoiaitff, the pri -
cipal ej-tablishment of the Black Sea fleet wr.s
proper y scared. Nicholaieif, 25 years ago a verv
inconsiderable place, was by i he “immortal labors”
of Lxzareff made the depot of the Russians
in the B ack Sea. Nicholaittf lies on a barren
steppe, on the left bank of the Ingul, tnd at no
great distance from its confluence wi h the Bug.
It is the residence of the commander of the Black
Sea fleet, and in the dockyards the vessels oom
poeii.g it were built. The town contains tbout
83,067 inhabitants, and has six Greek ch irehes
and a Catholic and u Lutheran place of worship ;
there are also two 6ynr*gogu«s, on* for the common
Jew? and the other for the Kiraite- 4 . The princi
pal bail lings are the Admiralty, several barracks
with room for 25,000 men, the hydrographic in«ti
tu.ion, and the observatory. The arsenal con
tamed prodigious snpp ies of materiel of war,
which had been collected there daring the last ten
>ears, but a great part must have been sent to
Sebastopol during the wur. Nicbolaieff is 121
vesrts from Odersa, 839 from Simpheropol, and
40l from Se^a.-topol.
As soon ae his Majesty reached N J cho’a : eff, the
engine3r and builder, Lieutenant Volofectf was
summoned by telegraph, aud he received orders,
to construct round the town several redoubt (five,
as is s i J,) with 860 guus. B sides the.se 500 gun
boats are io be built with all speed by workmeu
brought from Croustadt, who wiii be under the
personal inspection of the Grant Admiral, Con
ataut : ue. Each of these boats is to be armed with
two or four guus of long range. The latter have
alreaiy b .-eu brought from the erseaal at Kieff.
Tho newly built Irigates Viljaa and Tiger are tl
ready armed, and have been examined and ap
proved b/ the Imperial family.
On the 27th tbo Grand Duke Canatantme left
for Sebastopol, and it iB Baid he will be aceompain
.d on his return by Prince Gortschakoff, with
whom His Maj ?sly wishes to consult on the future
conduot of tLe war. According to an on <iit t the
plan of the Russian Commander-in Chief is to
withdraw from the noth side of Sebaetopol, and
to defend the Crimea by taking up a position be
tween Biikshirerai and Eupatoria.
GoRTSCHAEOFF’s ACCOUNT OF THE EvAOOATION. —
“Al4i\ M. iho Commander in Chief gavo the
order to commence the evacuation of tho Sou’h
side ol Sebastopol at tho fall of light, and ter the
transportation of the troops to tr.e N>r h side,
partly by boats, partly by tho bridge constructed
in the bay. The operation was ooducted in the
lollowing manner:
“The voiuuteors and part of the artillery woe
left on the line of defence, acd kept up a slack fire
from the guns and small arms. Th > lines of barri
cades previously c nstructed in the interior of the
city were occupied on tho right by the regiments
Tobolsk, Volhyuia, anl Minsk; on the left, by
those of AzolfandOiessa. Covered by these troops
in advance, the different corps forme 1 behind them
were marched in succession to the Nicholas place,
and thence crossed the creek by the bridge; those
from the Karabeluaia Faubourg were carried over
in boats and steamers prepired by V’ce Admiral
Novasilsky. When the troops had all quitted the
Nicholas placo and the PrtUlovsky point, aud the
wounded xb the batteries cf Nicholas and Paul had
been transported to tho north gide, a signal was
giveu, and the rest of tho artillery, the volunteers,
and the troops occupying tho barricades, begun to
move towards the points of pas-age of th j bay. As
the last troops retire 1 from the different points of
the line of defence, the heavy picc.s of artillery on
tho works wore as far as possible rendered uieless,
aud the powd r msgua'ms, as well as the city
iisolf, sot on lire. Alter ail the troops had crossed
to tho north side of tho harbor tho bridge wa re
movod. On the 9th cf September, after the
evacuation of the city, the batteries No. 7, No. 8,
aud No. 10, exploded; the Paul Battery was blowu
u , as woll as the small quantity of powder in the
Nicholas Battery.
“Thus, after 349 days’ obstinate dofence of a
city surrounded hastily, ? nd in -tight of the enemy,
with field works, and presenting between its dit
ferent parts natural obstacles like the Smili Creek
and the harbor, tho garrison evacuated ll o city
without being molested. The enemy still uuder
the impression of tho bloody opposition he had
mot during the day, did not even think of pursu
ing us. Our passage to the north bide of tho city
cost us only a lew tnou.”
A note states that the number of magazines
blowu op was 85.

Bailey’s Amphion Band, which had been en
gaged, was also among the attractions of tho even
irg, and discoursed sweet and patriotic strains at
intervals.
The assemblage was called to order about
o’clock, by D . Freeman, who nominated John C.
Montgomery, E?q., ChiarinHii.
The nomina ion of Dr. F. was accepted, and on <
his taking tho chair, Dr. Freeman was appoited
Secretary.
Mr. Montgomery m : d, he wished th it there
were more of the ruder i-ex present ; but wherever
there is a groat and noble work to be done, there
you will flud women in advance of the ru ier sex.
In justification of any remarks which he m ght
make, he would say, that ho had just come from
tbo sick bed of a near and dear relative. Mr. M.
said that he had no sooner entered tho room t an
he had been requested to tako the place of Dr.
Mitchell, who was exptc ed to preside. But he
would do his best—for where tbero were ladieß
concerned, he hopod none to be found wanting in
his duty.
Tho Chairman then procseded to read the fol

by the lacues of the Association :
ADDRESS OF THE LADIES’ MOUNT VERNON ASSOCIATION
OF PHILADELPHIA.
Ladies and Gentlemen —You are assembled to
gether on one of the most interesting occas.ons
which could occur to a patriot, especially an Amo
riean patriot—*.o honor Washington—not in words
onlv, but in deed.
Barbarians evince their grat tode to their bene
factors, by their traditions of them—which are
lovingly cherished in their hearts and transmitted
from generation to ge leration.
Civilized nations may not feel rnoro, but they
show more. They vie with each other .n erecting
monuments to their great lead, and in ke.ping
their homes or graves in that stcrodness which
bespeaks an abidiug aud holy ’emembrance of
them.
America alone has Reemed devoid of these noble
sontiments aud feelings! lu working out her
great destiny, she fcas ever been absorbed in the
materia!, and the present appearing to forget the
departed Warriors and Statesmen, lo whom,
having received from them, such a legacy as has
novor before been bestowed upon any nation on
earth—she yet owes more thou any other 1 But,
as if to be placed by one single act in the proudest
position c>f all—this blot upon her honor towards
the Father of her Country, is about to be erased
by a deed, which, like the country itself, and its
matchless founder, has no counterpart in the past
or the present 1
Woman—with her warm heart, and reverential
feelings, has looked with sorrow upon neglected
Mount Vernon, and penetrated by the fear of des
ecration to the home and grave of him, she bo re
veres, has come forth to secure, preserve and ado“n
Mount Vernon, and by her generous exertions lay
the foundation cf its becoming tho pr.do of our
country—the Mecca of Freedom 1
The proposition came from chivalric South (Caro
lina, in an appeal to the ladies of the South, by a
Southern Matron, Decemh r, 1858. With the ar
dent spirit which characterizes that little State, it
was followed up by enlisting her persona! friends,
and some noble, un-olfLh patriots. Their zeaions
cxertiont soon aroused such interest and action io
Alabama, Georgia and tbo Carolines, astoioduce
the originator to regularly organize, in. April, 1854,
a Mount Vernon Association for the South. Vtr
ginia then united with it, and her sons and dangh
ters are now m nitrating a 8 irit truly worthy of
the Mother dtatv?
To an offer of assistance from a whole soled pa
triot in this city, ana her earnest euyeaty tnat
Norib, South, East and West, might share in such
a tribute, is due tho fact cf its boiDg made, a few
months since, a national enterprise, to include all
the daughters of Washington, from the Atlantic lo
the Pacific. To the honor of the North, be it re
corded that those who made her first expression of
love for his memory felt it should be done in tho
hall be has immortalised—on the spot he has made
so sacred 1
Ladies and Gentlemen—We are here to-Dight to
show how we regard the act, and to reepmd to
the call which came from We are here
to express our interest in, and to further their
objects. Will Pniladeiphia be worthy of her past
associations—oi thi greatness of her city ? Shall
she be surpassed in her donation to the Mount
Vernon Association of the American women—that
pioudest memorial to manly worth the wcr.d fcas
ever knowa I
The Address was listened to with attention, and
at its close w*s cor ial’y applauded. The Chair
man then apologized for not being able to thr«-w
more feeling and eloquence iuto his reading cf
this paper, for it was “eloquence itself, and had it
been well read, it would have produced a deeper
effect upon the meeting ”
The epeal er then spoke of his triads in the Old
World, and stated thatoae thing which made him
turn with more patriotic ardor towards his native
land, was the pride wh ch he felt that all Europe—
even the leas enlightened portions of it, reveren
ced the name and fame of Washington. The
Chairman spoke in this strain for some minute?,
with much feeling aud energy, and concluded by
calling on the Han. J. R. Chandler for a speech.
REMARKS OF MB- CHANDLER.
The remarks of Mr. Chandler were most felici
tens, and we give as full a report as onr limi s will
allow, although conscious that we can only present
a skeleton of this admirable oration.
The speaker began by some humorous remarks
addressed to the Chair, who in calling on him.
had alluded to his “extreme youth and modesty,”
having gamed the car of the audience most com
pletely, and he began by speaking of the pure and
noble object of this meeting, and the Ladies’
Association.
He spoke of former attempts which have been
made by gentlemen to secure Mount Vernon to
the Union. Ast-oc ations were formed, corres
pondence was carried od, and the ladies helped by
talking about these enterprises. They had all
failed, and cow the order is reversed. The ladies
are to do the work, and the gentlem „•«. are to bo
allowed to do the U.kiDg. [Laughter and ap
plause 1
Mr. Chandler then spoke of the Chfirman’s
wonder (in his remarks before the meeting) that
Congress had never pnrefcased Mount Vernon, and
he proceeded to give the reasors why Congress
had never done so. They were, that sufficient time
and a-tention had not been given to the project
at Washington.
The speaker proceeded lo illustrate this by his
experience at Washington City in former ye*rs,
and gave it as bis opinion, that the plan would
have been successful had the ladies entered into
it. This portion of bis remarks elicited much
laughter and applause.
He then spoke of the exquisite beauty of the
sdna ion of Mount Yern n, and ictftilixted a mo-t
! c wc compHTi-on between it and the Rhine, and
f O'her storied rivers of the old world. Then 10l
! lo.\cd r • argument oa the sbso'uto necessity of
s?cnrir.g tni- holy sr t f online mercenary bands
of grasping si-tco ctor*. wn-ch we like to
elaborate if oor limit* would permit. In the
course of his argurnan' the speaker dwelt upon
the infl.aei.ee of monuments, and other pcolic
memorials oi great men. He spoke of the cou
fi cts which have occurred between different claim
ants ol Its very tombs ot great j:od.
He spoke of the feeling with which we would
view the neglected grave of one of our private ro
lat; ves, and tnen drew a melancholy though gr ph
ic picture of the tomb of Wanhington. The na
tionai position of the home of Washington—situa
ted j ist on ih dividing line between North aud
Boutb, and its peace radiaiiug influence.
The -peaker then concluded by giving the rea
sons why Phi sdeb-hia, the “Bethlehem of Ameri
ca,” should act nob‘> in this matter, aud appealed
to the ladies coi earned iu he enterprise to go ou
firmly and patriotically andsucuedL— for failure was
not to be dreamed of. Such is a very brief resume
of tais classic and elcq ieutad Ires*.
The President theu intrediced Mr. Penrose,
who said :—I am here to-night to take part in the
discussiou of this interesting subject, bit am not
able lo speak of it as its merits deserve. I have
been at an exhausting session of the City Couu
oils, where my dities have been very arduous.—
The City Councils, I have no doubt, would take
part in this meeting in persons as they do in feel
iug, were it not for the arduous character of their
duties, which they have just concluded.
Mr. Penroi-e then spoke of Mount Vernon as
Washington’s rest ng place iu hit declining: years;
where be found reat iu the joys of domestic life,
which he so much erjoyed although he had min
gled iu the world’s str f-.
The speaker then referred to the death of the
great man, and to the fact that his saroophau was
tne work of a Philadelphia artist.
The speaker then gave a sketch of his visit to
Mount Vernon, accompanied by a friend, and re
terr< d to the emotions which had arisen upon that
occasion. Ho spoke of the tasteful though decay
ing charactei cl the estate and its buildings and
grounds.
After pursuing th s strain ler some time, Mr.
• enrose ro'ered to tha p:riiy of the present plaD,
by which Mount Vtrnou is to be secured to cur
c »uutr> by the ladies ol our land. Paris, be said,
has her Pero la Chaiee—our country has similar
cem3tor : e^—let us make Mount Vernon our Na
tionai Pero la Chaise, c nse crated to tho grand and
glorious memory of Washington.
Tha duty, the special duty ot Philadelphia, was
dwelt upon at some ler gth aDd much deliberation,
and the uuaoubted succe* of the plau was reiter
ated, aud reasons for its success were fully entered
into and discussed. Mr. Penrose then took his
seat am d much applause, the President an
nounced tt at the Frer ch residents of New York
had expressed their deiermijation to assist in this
uoblo work in behalf of tho fellow soldieTs ol La
fayette, trad that for thtt reason tt e French flag
had been entertwined with that of our country, on
the right of tho hall.
The Marstdlaise hjmr wes then preformed by
the band. This air was f filowed by Hail Colum
bia.
The thanks of the meeting aero then presented
to Mr. Matheys, for his generosity in granting
them the use of tho Hall. Tho thanks of the
meeting wore also tendered to the gentlemen who
had addressed them, and, on motion the meeting
adjiurmd.
Fiom Mexico.
By tho arrival of 'hi Oriziba at New Orleans,
advices have bien received from Vera Cruz to the
22d, and from the oity of Mexico to the 19th ol Oc
tober. Wo copy from the Picayune the following
it jins of news:
Tho intelligence we have from the capital is
that Alvarez purposes resigning the Presidency,
and that Ccmunfort w il certainly be his sue'essor.
This information is convoyed to us by a coma
pondent, whose communication we subjoin :
Vera Cruz, Oct. 22. — 1< is announced from Mex
ico that Gen. Alvarez, finding himself unable,
from his advanced yea s and feeble health, to at
tend properly to the labors incumbent on his post,
has determined to resign the presidency. He no
doub' foresaw this, for seme day's einco he pub
fished a decree by which in the event of vacancy
in the Presidency by •■’oath, or from other causes,
the election of a now President devolves upon his
Constjo de Estado.
The election, it is said, will take place to day or
to-morrow, and Ccmonfort will no doubt be elect
ed President.
The i.bove nows is not c llicia*, but I nevertheless
oelieve it to bo correct.
A rumor prevailed in Vera Cruz, we learn, im
mediately previous to tho departure of tho Oriziba,
that a t-degraphic dispatch had been received, an
nounciug the actual resignation of Alvarez, and
the election of Comoufort as his successor.
The papers announce that immediately after the
election of Alvarez to the Presidency, Gen. Gads
den ha l wai ed qu him at Cuoinavaca, and in tho
wariucs' terms had c.urp'imented him as having
beeu llie first to rise bgainst the late “central
usurpation,” and on his success and election to
the Presidency.
A private communication from the capital dated
tho 19,h inst., states tLut both Alvarez aud Com
mfort still remr.iaed at Cuernavaca, and that their
absence from the seat of government was causirg
much dissatisfaction.
Tho conduct ot Vidaurri was also said lo bo
giving genera! aud deep offenci.
Trie foreign ministers wiro aii at Cuernavaca, at
tho tho latest dates. The Trait d’Uoion, of the
l7ib, says that those cf France, E gland, Guate
mala, Prussia and Spain, with the Sardinian
Charge d’Affaires and tho Apostolic Nuncio had
left for that place during the previous two days :
aud that tho Minister for tho United StaUs had
proaedod them.
It then proceeds to remark upon the fact that
while Mr. Gudsden had refused to recognize the
Govo’nment of Gen. Carrera, ho had shown the
utmost alacrity in acknowledging that of Alvanz.
The language in «hich he d d this is declared to
bo so involved and incorrect as to defy translation.
Ho is assailed as having passed the accustomed
limits of diplomatic address, in tho very laudatory
language he used, as wo 1 us violated diplomatic
usage in separately couvoyirg his recognition and
co: gratulations.
Licgthy correspondence had taken place be
tween Comonfon and Vidaurri, and it seemed pro
bable thut there would be some d fliculty ; u get
ting the latter to act with the new Government.
At last dotes, however, the Government had an
nounced their concurrence in tho views of Vidaur
ri, and it was, therefore, to ba presumed that nil
would go well.
Troops wero to be sent to the frontier.
Haro y Tamariz had bean presented to Alvarez,
and was well rece.vjd.
From the New Orleans Picayune October 26 th.
We briefly referred yoeterday in our intel igetcs
from Mex co, which will be found republished on
ti e outside of this morning’s Picayune, to the ad
dress which the Minister of the United States in
Mexico had m«de to Gen Alverez on his election
to the Presidency. T .is address, as we stated,
has been attacked in Mexico as objectionable, and
will no doubt be freely canvassed in this country.
That our readers may bo enabled to form an opinion
upon its m rits, wo purpose laying it before them.
Gen. Alvnr z having been elected, as announced
in the Picayune, on the arrival of the Orizaba on
her previous trip 1 1 0 u Vera Cruz, the diplomatic
body were duly notified of the lajt, on the 18th
lost. The Proaideut and Cabinet being at Cuer
navaca, the various Ministers did not at once pro
ceod to recognize h.m, for tbo reason, as is allegod,
that the scat of Government being at Mexico, the
President and his Council might bo expoctod to
piocood thither immediately. It is insinuated,
however, that there was a further reason, in the
existence of some little hesitation as to the pro
priety of their doing so. At a.l events, they did
not proceed to Cuernavaca till the 15th- General
Gadsden had bsau invited to attend a conference
on the subject. His reply was to the following
effect:
“ Gen. Gadsden’s compliments to the senior
member ol the diplomatic body. He deeply re
grets the propriety ot absenting himself from a
coherence which Sanor De Barrio iuviles for this
day. W bile the Minister of the United States has
recognized the fitness on extraordinary occasions,
cf the Envoys and Ministers of foreigu govern
ments conferring or comparing notes ou interna
ional law which may affect the'r relations with
the government to which they were accredited, the
government of the United Slates has never been
sati-fied with these deh a rations for the purpose
of prodcc n? combined harmony ot a tion in cases
in which the Ministers may entertain different
views, and be obliged load on opposing elements.
The United States bavo been cautious to avoid any
alliances which might commit them to a policy ad
verse to thflt which they have defined in all their
relations with other nationalities, and their Minis
ter feels cons:rained, thereiore, to abstain from
any diplomatic alliances wh ch might embarrass
his governmo: t on principles of action which it
has prescribed to its representatives abroad.”
It was cn the 14tb, according to the Siglo XIX %
that Gen. Gadsden, independently of the joint di
plomatic corps, presented his recogniti <n to Gen.
A vanz, at a public audience. That was to the
jodowing effect:
“With the highest consideration as Envoy Es
traor4intry and Minister Plenipotentiary of the
United States, i recognize in the person of your
Excalleucy the birth ot a trul/ national govern
ment in Mexico—a government which had disap
peared for some time.
“To your, General, is due the honor of having
first sounded the »lar n in the mountains of one of
the Sontheru States, the soil of which had been
profain by the assassins o* the unfortunate Guer
rero, when central usurpation threatened to re
commence to suVjugPte the Mexican States, sub
jecting them to tho harsh absolutism of tyrannical
power. In the name of the federation of the
United States, which this legation has the responsi
bility of representing, I have the honor to felici
tate you on the h ; gh distinction which has been so
unanimously conferred uron you, on the public
invitation of the Mexican United States, in appoint
ing you the highest functionary known to their
constitution; an honor neither solicited nor desired
although signally merited on the part of } oar Ex
cellency.
“The distinguished confidence of the represent
atives of free and independent States is the highest
title to merited confidence of the United Sta es,
animated by the same spirit with which yon have
pat in harmony the political elements which
struggled, vitally excited, in Mexico; you will not
depreciate the re onciliation of two neighboring
Republics which have the same amiable disposi
tion, a result of the identity of their causes.
“The composition of all independent govern
ment , in which the sovereignty resides in the
nation and not in an individual—in administra
tions chosen by law—the agents and not tne des
po s of the people—will awaken, I trust, those
common sympathies, wnicb, by tranquiliaieg a
country in the interior, ought to bind closer the
ties between confederations ol free States in the
same degree and w.th the Bame ardent affinities
which bind the States eacn to a common centre.
“In the name then, cf tne federation of the U-
States of America, its Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary, le.icitates the Mexican
States on their reunion under a government of
their choice, and and' r a President tnosea by their
tree vote.
“In renewing, then, relations with the leaiti
mat 9 Government of Mexico, which tad umortu
nately oeen interrupted bv their known 6ympa
thies, I to-day salute the Mexican Republic with a
spirit of amity, justice, and peace.”
In Alvarez’s reply there is little more than a •
echo of the address. In the course of it he ex
presses his hope th t Mexico will take her place
among free, sovereign, and independent nations,
and declares relations with the United States
renewed, in accordance with the desire of Mr.
Gadsden. The papers express satisfaction at its
dignified tone. _
Scarcity of Watir.—We learn from the Lau
ren.sv.lle (8- 0.) Herald that there is great buffering
in that l)is net, tom the want cf wat;r. There
has not been rain enough to lay the dent fer six
months, and wei ?, mill pond-* and water courses
are drying up. Near y all the mills in the Dis
trict are stopped, the turnip crop almost entirely
lost, and the villagers are dependent on three or
four wells for their necessary supply of water. Ou
Saturday, the SOth, however, tnere was a slight
shower, and on the Wednesday following a alight

upon the subject of slavery.
The Fusion Party of the North organizad upon
the siDgle idea of opposition to slavery, upon an

subject of slavery, aud givis us the following
commentaiy upon thi unti slavery resolutions
*» opted by that Convention— which we commend
to the attention of tho Southern m9u i» this State
who are Mr. Van Buren’s political fiends ard
a>ues in sustaining the Administration of Frank
lin Pierce:
•‘Now, let us see if anything has recently occurr
ed w bich makes it necessary to form a party upon
the basis of Slav sry. Sometiroo since, as you aro
aware, a bill passed Congress to repeal the Missou
n compromise, and sat sequeutly to its passage a
large number of men rushed into the Terri ory
of K. i:jsa* from Misßour l , armed with bludgeons
and other weapons, took p:ssosionof the polls and
elected t Legialalure which passed a variety ot laws
which are adi grace to humanity. They claim to
have done ao ULdar authority derived from the act
of Congress organizing that Territory. Kinsas,
previous to that time, was free by an
made thirty-four years ago, under which that pari
of the United States territory uorth ot thirty
d ’groes thirty m nutes, except Missouri, was dedi
cated to freedom, aud the Southern part given to
slavery. Kansas is now a Terr tory, the law of
which ever is in favor of freeiora, unless the acta
of the so-called Kansas are to be hold
valid, in which case it has boen red ced to slavery.
Uuder this state oithiegs the democrats as-embted
iu Ci nvantlon passed two resolutions. [Mr. Van
here read the resolutions of the State con
vention to which he referred.] He coutinuoi—
Wo tha * doc'are, in the first place, that wo on
damn these Mi.-soori outrages >*nd, in the next
pbo, that while we adhere to the compromise © 4
the cons itutioD, we are opposed to the axtension of
slavery into the free territory. Now, the*e res
oluticns in my judgment, are exactly adapted to
the questirn now b tore the people. They eremed
to me entirely 8 fitiert, and it did no^occur to tnt
tnat 1 1 would be necissary to form a new patty in
con*quence f anything omitted to be said by that
convention upon the svbj-.ct rs slavery. I have b e’"
asked what is the meaning of that resolution in
troduced by m° ? They say ouo construction has
been pat upon it by cue person, and another by
another. 1 ask no or e porson to put a constncrion
upon the resolution for mo. It is the resolution
tchv hw i't introduc'd into the Syracuse convention in
1847. The convention refused to adopt it , a»d it was
then passed by the democrats assembled at Ileriimer ,
and after wards by the derm crate uh •supported Van
fiuren in 1848, and it hae been adhered to by them ,
f om that time to this."
According, then, to Mr. V»n Bj’-en’s iu'etpre
'ation of the anti slavery resolutions oi tho Byra
oose Convention, tho p'atform upon which tho
Administration Party of New York is organize 1
for tho prerent tanvass acd for the Preside-jtia l
contest ot 1356, is nothing more or loss than tho
Van Buren, Bufiulo Free boil Platform of 1848.
This is what he a. eets before a large meeting ci
tho Democratic electors of New York—this is
what these Democratic electors approve and ap
plauri; and we aro oblig'd to beliove that this is
the opinion and tho feelirgof a large rnsjoritv of
the Administration Democracy of thut Slate. Bat,
Mr. Van Buren is not coutem with the assertion
that the Democratic Par y of New York is oppo
sed to the extension of slavery, tnd organized up
on that basis: ho goes farther—shows the praiti
cal application of this principle of opposition to
slavery extension, in reference to Kausas, and lajs
down a programme of action, holier in its doc’urn
tiocp, than that of the Fusion Party of the North,
whilst ifckPeqnally disorganizing and revolutio
nary:
“ In tho first place, upon the eubj jet of slavery,
the practical question is, how to prevent tho ox-on
Biou of slavery into free territory. That is a q-ios
tiou upon which we havo a right to act, and it is a
question which affects the State of New York.
**#***:•
“This is in no seuso aboltion. It is the ground
we look in 1847 and 1843, and we havo adhered t
it. This docs uot necessarily require Congress to
prohibit F-lavery ir» tho Territories, because that
may be accomplished under the operation cf the
Kansas bill. Tno settle's themselves may probi
bit slavery; but if they should uo% thou whan
the Terriiory is formed into a Stato and applies
for admission, you have again the right to rave the
question whether it is fairly firmed into a slaw
estate; and if it is not, you nivrth*. right to prevent
it from coming into the Union vuiil it presents itself
with a free constitution f you choose."
******
In tha present co iditiou of things, the only safe
and practical grouud for the democratic party to
assume is to force tho execution of the
bil 1 , ard to compel tho administration to carry out,
iu good faith, the provisions of that bill. L that
is done, Kansas will be formed into a free (State;
if not, there are other modes by which the result
oan ba arrived at. By tho ronoul of tho‘ Missouri
Compromise a Territoty l.ke Kansas, dedicated to
freedom for thirty four years, was put in p ril of
being reduced to slavery. Now, any course which
is taken to prevent that result meets and over
comes the anticipated evil. I have every reason
to be ieve the mode wa propose will
the object. But, if no:, 1 .agree with tboso who
eay ‘Kansas must be free.’”
Here then we havo the position of Prince John
and of all ihat class of Democrats who think and
act with him, uron the Kansas question. He is
iu favor of tho Nebraska-Kansas act, not because
tho principle of nonintervention upon which it is
basod is just and Bound, but because he felioves,
with Do glass and Shields and the Northers
Dtmoi racy generally, that the practical oppntion
aud result of that principle will be to make Kansas
a free State; but if tnis is not the result—if Kansas
applies lor admission, with a slave instead of a
tree Constitution, then ho asserts that the North
should resist its admission, and force it to ctiange
its organic law. In other words, Kansas must be
f ee—no more slave States must ba admitted into
tho Union—and at all hazards and to tho last ex
tremity, slave extension must be resisted.
The Washington Union, of the 26th inst., reads
Van Buren a mild lecture upon this his last pro
nun* iamento, and declares that the Democratic
Darty cannot bo held responsible for tho opinions
ae avows or the policy he advises. That article
was prepared for Southern consumption. The
Government organ whitewashed Reeder, and the
Administration dismissed him—it denounces Van
Buren, and yet he has the ear of the President aud
the confidence of Marcy. On tho vory day (the
25th)on which tho article of the Union wont to
press, Prince John was in Washington City, and
entertained a select party of friends at dinner, at
his hotel, among whom was President Pierce; aud
we presume ihat he is perfectly witling for the
Union to denounce him in order to make capital
for the Administration at the South, as long as he
and the* chi f of tha* Administration understand
each other, and remain upon terms of friendship
and intimacy. The case of John Van Buren is
very similar to that of tho Albany Atiap. The
Union has been very industriously, *u it»dull way,
reading the Atlas outot the Democratic parly, ever
since Pierce’s inaugural was pronouuced ; whilst
Marcy h«s been with equal industry stuffing it
with government patronage ; and so it may object
to Vau Buren’s Freesoil und abolition programme ;
bot ho will continue to be upon exce l int terms
with the Administration, and enjoy its confidence,
more completely than any ether New York politi
cian. Tho protest of the Union is worth nothing
at all. Why not read tho Administration party of
New York cut of the Democratic party ? for John
Van Baron is sustained by that party, and iu Lis
speech at Oswego be did nothing farther than to
show the application and anticipate the results of
the principles which in Stato Convention at Syra
cuse it had formally announced. Why not cut off
all of this Dry Rot with which the Democratic
party of New York is afflicted ? The reason is
obvious. The amputation would be tho death ot
the pubject; and so the Union perm*ts the party
to do as it please?, but singles out John Van Buren,
whom Democracy even cauont upon the
South as a National man, and who con : qientfy
has nothing to lose here; and mildly belabors
him.
We Jiave shown the position of the Aiminietra
tion wing of the Democracy of New York upon
the Kansas question, a* it is given by one cf i>s
prominent letdere, and it evident design to dis
pa e with the Fusion Party the championship of
the W Imot Proviso, and the control cf thi Aboli
tipn element. In contract with it we give the pcsi
tion of the Anti Administration wing of the De
mocrac' of that State, as it is shown in the follow
ing resolutions, relating to the Fusion movement,
passed by a meeting of that wing held on the 22d
inst., in the city ot York:
Resolved, That the formation of tbo “republican”
party, composed of freehoil democrats, anti slavery
wbigs, and of every other element of Northern
fanaticism, is a dangerous and portentous event,
calculated to excite the a'arm and d smey of every
patriot. We regard it aa tho consummation of the
odious threat of Van Buren in 1843, to establish
the great anti slavery party ot the North. Based
upon a geographical line, and at war with t.e in
stitutions of the Sou'hern Btates, its success would
be the knell of the Union, and the destruction of
the fairest fabric of government which the patrio
tism of man over devised.
Kes'lted , That in onr opinion, speaking of onr
own State, we are ind bted to the present adminis
tration for tbe ex atence and growth of this new
party. By the effirts which we nuda to elect
Franklin Pierce President of tho United States,
the funa?sc : sm of freesoil was rebuked and extin
guished; but the vain and silly project ol coercing
through party machinery, a re nomination in 1856,
induced the policy upon the very advent of his
administration, of forming a clo«e affiliation with
the at ti slavery agitators of 1848, and of c ntrol
ing the inventions and elections of this sovereign
State, by tbe unscrupulous abuse of patronage and
tne a d of ruffian violence; so that the solid organ
izution of our party has become demon 1 zed, our
princip.es oontemned, freesoilism resusciated, and
the Wilmot Proviso, on the motion of Mr. Van
Buren fully endorsed by the con
vention held at Syracuse on the 29 h of Argist
last. These are violations of principles wnich
justify our separation, and demand the of a
true and generoos but insulted democracy.
The Hards—the trae National Democracy of
New York—in whose ranks are focni all tbo-e
men, who are held rp to us by Southern Demo
crats as exemplars of Democratic soundness at the
North, repudiate the Fusion Party—rajact the
affiliation and the support of Free Boiiera a d
Abolitionists—and hold the Administration * sspon
nble for the existence and the form daole strei.g'h
ot this sectional Northern Party. Is it not singular
that Southern men can sustain an Administration,
in its policy upon the subject of Blavery, which
the sound msn of the North consider it to be their
duty to denoance I

Anecdote cfthe Kev.u.uti:n —A “Compulsory

ccpyii g from the Richmond Dispatch a sketch ol
Gen. Andrew Lowis, and the warrior family, (the
same published in the Chronicle dt Sentinel a few
days site') so famous iu tbe historical annals o*
Virginia, to which he belonged, relates the fol
lowing auocdote:
Thomas Lewis, the eldest sou of John an 1
Margaret Lyon Lewis, (who was for many years
during the period embraced by our revolutionary
history, one of tho representatives of Augusta
county iu tho House of Burgesses, and the General
Assembly, and wh3 with Lis col Hag io, Samuel
McDowell, transmitted to the Virginia Delegniiou
iu Congress the celebrated “address of the Free
holder ol Augusta,”) labored, during tho later
years of his lito, under a delect of vision, which
incapacitated him from active service in the war
in which he so ardont'y participated as a member
of tho legislature ; all his sons who were o'd enough
for service, were officers in th > patriot array, ami
woro absent from homo on duty when Turietou’s
dragoons drov • tho Legislature from Richmon 1,
and afterwards from Charloltsville. The 4 o d
Surveyor” as he was aflorward»j commonly called,
was at this time confined by illness at his resi
dence in Augusta, (now R jckinham.) As soon as
the news reached him at Lewiston, thattho British
would probably attempt to cross the Blue Ridge
at Ruck Fish Gap, he rose from his Bick couch,
and was busied iu preparations to arm au equip
his tenantry awd ihe rnalo members of his houso
hold for t e expected conflict at tho mountain pass,
when th' cavalcade of flying patriots, having iu
charge a numbor oftornfixd ladies approached the
mansion.
A member of Legislature from one of the lower
oouuties, who also hold a commission as captain of
cavalry, was one of the party, all of whom found
a hospitable reception atLow ston. When the
pieparations wore completed, Mr. Lewis offered
the command of Lis littlo party to Capt. ,
tho youug officer, who, it seems preferred tho
society ol his fair companions, to tho wrinkled
front of “grim vissaged war” declined the press r

said the irrascible old gentleman, whoso impulsive
temperament by tho way is one of the few “heir

ladies are sale in my house ; our country’s cause is
endangered at Rock Fish; my house iB open to

Death of a Half Century Convict.— An ago !
coloro I man, known by the name of “Old Bob,”
who has been an inmate of tho Maryland Paniton
tiary, since 1810, diod at that institution of Wed
nesday. The history of this man, and the circum
stances attending his conviction aud incarceration
have frequently been rehearsed to the public, and
wore the subject of comment by Charles Dickens,
in his “Notes ,on America,” a work publish :d
•After had returned from making the
our ofthis country. Ho belonged to u planter ol
Char!eß county, who was rather a severe master,
and in 1802 placod him onboard a vessel, with
instructions to alio-v no one, not oven the son of
tho master, to come on tbo vessel aud it any at
tempt was mad Ito board tho ves«ol ho should
strike them in the head with a handspiko ;
Iu tho evening following the issuing of this man
date, tho sou of his muster, in company with two !
of his associates, approached the vessel and at
tempted to head her: he was waruod not to como '
on board, by 4 O d Bjb,” who repeated the in
structions of his master, and added that he would
obty the orders he had received. The youug man
regarding the language of tho nevio as a jea’,
rushed heedlessly forward, and gained a position
on tho vessel; tut no sooner hud he landed than
Bob picked up the handspiko and knocked him in
the head, killing him instantly. Bob was imrno i
ately arrested am. lodged in jail. Ho wastriod for
murder aud convicted. Tho circumstances ot th >
case under which tho dead had boon perpetrator.,
so far secured the clemency of tho Court as t »
commu'o his sentence to imprisonment lor lifj.
He was firnt placed in the chain gang, whare ho
continued until the erection of the Peniiemiurv
wlnn ho was transferred to tLa*; institution, where
he romaiued until his death on Wednesday.
Tho period ol his confiuomont was about fifty
three years, an J he was upwards of one hundred
years old at the time of his death. For a number
ot years past, he has been spared all laborious em
ployment and passed his time in amusing himself
in various ways, such as cultivating flowers, raising
pigs, smoking herring, &c. So strongly had ILu
habits of a file in prison grown upon him that on
several occasions when ho was liberated, to te»-
what might be his conduct, ho refused to leave tho
institution and when the gates wero closed upon
him he would weep like a child until he was res
tored to his former position. His department dv
ring tho whole period of his confinement was such
that no fault could be found with him. He attrac
ted the special attention of all who viftitod the prim
on, and has gained, perhaps, a wider repula.io t
by being a convict than he would have done, h».d
not the cilamity befullon him.
From tho history ot this venerable convict a les
son may be Joarnod by thoso who command that
which should not bo performed. It is right and
proper that slaves should be obedient unto tbe r
masters. But in this instaDco ao order was givi rj
and performed, which causod tbe death of a child,
misery to a parent, and the wornt form of wervitud e
to on } who was compelled to obey tho injunctions
of his master. — Balt. Ame».
Public Feeling in St. Petersburg.— The St.
Peternbnrg correspondent of the Prosso, writing
on the 29th ul Eay.-:—“Since the whole of tho
Court quitted our capital, aud tho principal min
isters accompanied the Emperor lo Moscow, there
has been roceived hero no news respecting even's
in the Crimea. Complete uncertainty and melan
choly sadness prevail; and it is at St. Petersburg
especially that the boyards most manifest their
discontent. Reviews and parades cherished thrir
warlike ardor. These hate ceased, and the ab
sence of tbe high functionaries, civil and military,
who have followed the Emperor, leavos the nobles
at leisure to consider the difficulty in which Russia
has been placod Vy the war of the Exst. Hence
their discouragement, which mauif sts ittelf
openly in their words. Moreover, adding to the. r
discontent, certain pamphlets pass more easi.y
from hand to hand, and cherish there melaucciy
feelings. The discontent, it is impossible to deny,
his reached tho lowest classes of the popuiatio :,
and the peisintsar now seeking to e capo ti e
conscription. This is not all. A practice which
has been raro in the Russian army is extending
itself on a large f-cale. 1 mean the desertion ot
soldiers, which has become so marked that, the
government has considered it necessary to adopt
measures and apply penalties which are qu .©
unusual aguinst those w» o desert their colors.”
The Organization or Napoleonibm. —Tno rumor
of tne intended alliance between Prince Napclecu,
*ho presumptive heir of tho French Empire, to
Victoria Adelaide, the eldest child of the reigning
Queen of England, is probably not without some
foundation iu fact. Tne consolidation of the En
glish and French Gjvernments by marriage, w .s
an early scfceme of the first Emperor, and is worthy
of the policy which tho present Man of Destiny
hap adopted for the reconstruction of Napoleonibm
in E ircpe.
Such an alliance would reduce England to the
position of a mere appendage of France, and real
Z 3 the fondest ambition ot the people of the la’, tor
country, while it would be the moit unfortunate
event which ever happened to the latter. It ;•
questionable whether tho masses would accept i r ,
even though the aristocracy were willing to kne 1
b fore the throne of a fortana'e paivenu. Th xt
tbe affair i» on the tapis is certain, and Louis N x
poleon has the power just now, if ho has tbo wi I,
to push it to a successful termination. With his
cousin Lncien appointed Pope of Rome, (no im
possible even',) aud his authority acknowledged
in Spain and England, he would, indeed, bo Wes
tern Europe, aud triumph wr u d crown the ideas

How to be Happy.—l will give you two or thro*
good rules which may help you to become iiappiex
than you would ba without knowing them ; but as
to bring completely happy, that you can never bo
till you get to heavon.
The tirht is, “try your best to make others hap
py.” “I i over wts happy,” said a certain king,
“nil I began lo tako pleasure in tho welfare of my
people; but ever since then, in tho darkiat day, I
havo had sunshine in my heart.”
second iu!e is, “b* contont with little.”—
There aro many good reasons for this rule. V» e
doservo but li tie, wo require but little, aud “bet
ter is little, with the fe*r ol God, than great trea
sures andtiouble therewith” Two men wo>e de
termined to be rich, but they sot about it in dif
ferent ways; but the one strove to raise up his
moans to nis desires, while the other did his beat
to fcrirg down bis desires to hia meaus. The re
sult wa-*, the one who coveted much was alwsys
repining, while ho who dosired but little was al
ways contented.
My third rule is, ** look cn the sunny side of
things.”
Look up with hopeful eyes,
Thorgh al thiatri B?eTn forlorn;
The buu that seta to-n : g'n will rise
Again to -marrow morn.
Tne skipping lamb, the siDging lark, and the
leeping fish toll us that happiness is not confined
to one place. God in hia goodness ha* spread it
abroad ou the earth, in tho air, and in the wators.
Two aged women lived in the same coriago; one
was always fearing a storm and tho other wus al
ways locking for BunshiL©. Hardly need I say
which it wes wore a forbidding frown or which it
was whose face was lightened np with joy.
A Good Aoasor Cohn. — We are informed, upon
tho best uathority, that the very large quantity of
one hundred and nine bushels of corn were raised
this season, upon one acre of low land, on tho
plantation of Jus. R Dubose, cf this county. This,
though an extraordinary crop lor any country, is
tho more so for dd Wilkes, whose lands aro very
generally, though erroneously, thought to be
exhausted.
This crop, though remarkable for quantity, is
the more remarkable as an example of commeoda
ble industry which wo tako the greatest pleasuie
in noticing. It was plant d, manured and culti
vated entirely by a youth of 15 years ol ago, Wm.
I‘iukston, son of Mr. Thos. M. Pinkston, with a
v ew of competing for ti e prize at the Stato Agri
cultural Fair, bat tho Fair come on before the crop
could tho gathered. A letter was written to the
committee requesting that his name might bo
entered! s a competitor, ot which no notice wm
taken. William and his friends will probably be
induced to think, as many other persona havo
thought, that Fairs are great humbugs, bat perse
verance in his industrious couree will win for him,
in future life, what is of more vulao than the prizes
of Agricultural Fairs, the esteem and respect of
men, and what is of less account, wealth. Such
youths can always get a ‘first rate notice’ from us.

Holt Life.—Tho beauty of holy life constitutes

There is au energy of moral suasion in a good
man’s lilo, passing the highest efforts of tho orator's
genius. Tni seen, but silent beauty of holin su
speaks more elequeully of God, and duty, than
tue tongue of mou and angels. Let parents re
member this. Tho t est inheritance a paront can
bequeath a child is a virtuous example, a Ugi oy
ot Hallowed remembrance and associations. The
beauty of holiness, beaming through tho life of a
lovol relative or f iend, is mare cffoc.ual to
Blrougthou such as do Btand iu virtue’s ways, and

mand, entreaty or warning. Christianity itßtlf,
I believe, owes by far the greater \ ar. of ns moral
power, not to the percept* or parables of Christ,
but to his character. Th beuiiy of that holinrss
which is onshmsot in the lour brief biographies

The Winter cxthb Heart —Let it never come
upon you. L»ve so that good angels may protoct
you from this terrible ovil— the winter of the
heart.
Lot no chilling influence freczj np tho fountain*
of sympathy and hippincss in its depths ; no cold
burthen at ttle over its withored hopes, like sno*
on tho faded flowors, no rudo blasts of discontent
moan and shriek through ila all discontented cham

Your life path may lead*you through trials which
for a time seem u terly to impede your progress
und shut out the very light of heaven from your
anxious gnaa.
Penury uiay take the placo of easo and | lonty;
your luxurious room bo exchanged lor n single
lowly room—the soft couch for a straw pallet—tho
rich viands for tho coarse food of the poor. Sum
mer friends may forsako you, au 1 the ui pitying
wor'd pass you, with scarcely & look oi word of
eompaFHion.
You may be forcod to toil wearily, steadily on to
earn a livelihood; yon may eneouuter fraud and
tho base avarice that would extort the last farthing,
till sou well nigh turn iu disgust from your fellow
beings.
IJ ;uth may sevor tho doar tics that bind you lo
eanb, and leave you in feeblo darkness. Tha* »o
ble, manly boy, that solo hope of your declining
yours, may be taken from you whilo yflur spirit
clings to him with a wild tenaoity which even the
fthudcjr .of the tomb cannot subduo.
But atpid all theso sorrows, do not come to the
conclusion l&a% uqvooiy eyor wa i ho deeply eflicLed
as you are, sand abandon evory anticipation cl

Do not loose your frith i# human excellency,

away from your grasp.
Do not think you mo fated to bo inisorub o -be

Dornctdtfclaro that God has forsaken yea when
your way is judged about with thorns, or repine
sinfully who* lw<?gils your doar ones to tho land
beyond the grave.
Keep a holy trust In through ovory trial,
bear adversity with fortitude, and look upwurd in
hour.s ol temptation aud suffering. When your
locks ere white, your eyes dim, and your limb*

Pabental Teaohino.—lf parents would nottrust
a chni upon tho back of a wild horse without a
bit or bridle, let them not permit him to go forth

temper. If he is greedy, cultivate liberality iu
him. If he la selfish, promote generoti y. If he
is sulky, charm him eut of it by fsankucas aud
good humor. If he is indolent, accustom him to
cxertioi, and train him so as to perform ever
onerous duties with alacrity. If pride come* to
make his obed ; er.ce reluctant, subdue him by
council or diewpllne. In short, give yonr ehildrou
