ALFRED. For the Herald. Mm. Boitor: The “Qucra” of 8. S. N. and liia answers in your last paper, has set me n pondering for Iho last two or three days, on the probable cause* that has made me; not a good looking fellow, or possessed of as many of natures gifts as some of tho“iio'rr”of our more favored countries. Out with all my re ; tleelums, ami the assistance of many learned writers on this grorc i/urntion, I have not been able to make the grand discovery of this ■ “laughable diversity” of nature. “That man- j kind wore originally “created beauties.'’ I might have good reason to question, either by those around me, or myself, ns it would hardly 1 be considered a fair proposition, to be admitted that we had degenerated almost to the baboon. ; from our “venerable progenutors,” instead of by the refinements, and advantages of eivili/.a lion and religion Incoming ever superior to our first fathers. 1 have revolved this matter very gravely in my mind, though s. S. N. has very luminously given his lucrubalums on the matter, hut without adding to my relief the cause* of those “odd differences of personal beauty.” To account for it in the way that he has argued on this matter, would he too era re and serious n suhjeet for me to meddle w ith, as I should certainly class myself with tin centra “Esquimaux,” or some other class o! the human race, with not the “face rfi'rine,” j and thereby lose my right of my country's in-1 heritauco. Asa matter of speculation, and to relieve my mind from the painful reflections that lam one of the “orr<f it fft/riit’ et of per sonal beauty,” I solve this truer question by supposing mankind the legitimate ttsprings of some ‘ sage and venerable baboon,” and hat e through the successive changes of lime arrived , ut ‘be present state of refinements and beauty ; exhibiting the variety of grades and oomplex km* that are in the world as the natural eon aeqtlenees f this progressive system of crea- Don; showing the variety of complexions, Mfertnccsaf personal beauty,” and the genera of the different tribes and nations hi the ipuquity of their progenetors.

I,ant night about eleven ‘j’clock, ,urging toward* the Habbath day, one <>f the moat important m#**ur< passed the Henate, unanimously, which that body ha* decided jince the Derleration of War against Kng luiid in IMI2. It wu*the Maine War Con tingent Bill, modified, amended and passed I, V t|if. House, with only six negative*, in uch a way aa to make it more belligerent agalnat England than even the Hill repor ted by the Committee. In my despatch of last evening, up to the hour of cloning the mail, I stated, that, on the motion of Mr. AN i*c, the clause author ising the contingent enrollment of a rrgu ! Inr army of 20,000 men waa stricken out, I leaving the physical force at the control of 1 the President as it now exist*. The vote i~f the whig* enrried thia motion. About ! u .|, o’clock n locofoeo member of Virgina, | proposed to insert a elauae authorising the President to enrol a force of 80,000 volun nert, and thia word “volunteer*”—thi* one word “volunteer*,” took the opposition asleep, and it w as carried by a vote of more than two-third*. The Bill at a late hour panned the Senate, lint not before Mr. ! Hmitnard made a feeling speech, and Mr. , ’ Buchanan a deprecatory one, that they had I either to vote for thi* startling hill, or ap i pear to array themselves against the honor and interests o( the country. I can very feebly describe the sensation which has been produced to day, by the < alm reflection of a few hours upon the Midden and hasty proceedings of lost night. The hill is now a law, signed by the Pres ident, giving him the power, in fact, to de clare war until sixty day s shall have expi red after the meeting of the next Congress, ft provides in a eertain contingency, that i the. President he authorized to rail forth f,B v thousand volunteers into the sen ice ot the United Stales. Now what is that contingency on which depends peace or war! It Sir John Harvey carry out his views relative to the exclusive jurisdiction of the disputed boundary, w ill not that contingen cy that fearful eonlingeney —he forced upon us ’ Is it not highly probable that the Canadian agitators, Nelson, McKenzie, Papineau, and others, will hurry to the Maine Boundary, and create, if possible, dull vi vy “contingency,” among the exci ted border population! I must say that every intelligent man 1,,.,.,. views the hill that has n ; ;<r ;, (>ri , mo „ mm nl most decided preparatory mures that ever was passed by any government. In the northern and eastern states, in all the large eilies -and particularly in New- York, there are materials sufficient to or -1 gunizc a volunteer force of IOO.(MH) men. | A regular army has no charms for our exci table, independent, thinking, energetic pop ulation. A regular army is considered de grading and mercenary, am! few of theciti zens of this country would enlist to light for pay as pay alone. Hut a volunteer force — | mi array left to their own imaginations, and i organized under the name of liberty and j right, would at once, call forth thousands nml thousands in every part of the country. I think, therefore, that the military prin ciple of organization now recognized in the law, is a thousand times more likely to cre ate the military fever, and lead to military contingency, that it was as the bill was ori ginally reported to the House. It was the principle of voluntary military organization under the sacred name of love of country, that enabled the old Itoman republic to overrun and conquer the world. It was the same principle of voluntary military or ganization that enabled the French armies under the Hepublic to astonish Europe, and overthrow her regular troops like chaff be fore the wind. The same principle is now embarrassed in tin 1 new law, and its effects on the public sentiment wo will see before many months are past and gone. Fifty thousand volunteers, of such materials as w e possess, can reach a discipline in a few months that would not only repel any inva sion made on Maine, hut soon drive the last vestige of British pow er from North Amer ica. Why 1 Because such a force is not a mere physical power that fights for pay. If they arc once in the field, no government can get them out of the field without fight ing. It is such a combination of the moral : and physique that makes patriot armies in vincible against the best drilled troops of !am power in the world. Mind, intellect, high feeling, proud sentiments of honor, all that is great in thought and noble in im pulse. unite numbers, strength and physi cal power to produce this result. 1 do verily believe that this extraordina ry loan will call forth anew spirit through out the country —a spirit hitherto asleep and quiet. The law also authorizes a loan of 10,000,- 000: Is not this a bounty otVered to the troublesome spirits of the North to create the contingency, and thus plunge us into a war! The government may be pacific— the government may w ish to avoid a w ar. I do believe that Air. Van Huron has no w ish for a war, but he is a mere creature of circumstances, and the most inflamable ma terials of the nation, the locoloros them selves, bis own friends, will force him into some position from which there is no es cape. The Florida war has already cost the nation $14,000,000. but it has enriched Florida. Are there not hundreds in Maine that want to finger the $10,000,000? and is not the law merely n certain way of adver tising proposals for the “contingency!” The interest in dispute is a mere bagatelle - not worth a moment’s thought. But cir cumstanees have given it the character of national honor, and it is already invested with all the sensibility anil feeling which that view of any atlair is certain to call forth. F.vcn in au interrested point of view, 1 am not sure but the eastern men base sup potted the bill. A war with El.gland clo ses our trade with that nation. Vs soon as that war is declared the importation of her manufactures ceases. AY hat effect has this? Is it not a bounty to all the manufacturing, establishments of the cast ? Even in a com mercial point of view, there are many who consider a war with England as necessary, to establish our full and complete indepen dence. \Vc have all the elements of na tional wealth within our own limits—coal, ■JfcINTOSH OOirNTY HHRA*®-. iron, gold, ecun, sugar, cotton, I and every thing that ran be named but tea and coffee. A warwill therfcoreonly change t the direction of a portion of the nations i capital.—take it from the English trade and invest it in our own manufacture*. Grea , revulsion* will take pluec among the hanks, and particularly among importers— real ca- I lute in Ncw-York may not decline, but it will not rise, it will only be equalized w ith other imrtion* of the country. In such a j state of things, New-York will still he the great central metropolis, to connect tins country with France, and the continent of Europe. . , . ! The power of England on the ocean is what we have most to dread. A war on the border is only the beginning of the game. It will soon run into a war by sea—a steam wnr on the Atlantic ocean, und on that held and with that element w e can, at least in a short lime, be ready to meet any nation on the earth. We have at this moment, 800 steamers traversing the waters ol thi* coun try. Os this number about 400 are on the Atlantic, and 100 on the south-western and western waters. England has only about 000 steamer* are more calculated for the ocean, yet ours are as efficient in harbors, sounds and rivers. The British navy, it is true, has HO or 10 aleaincis, while we have only one —hut what of that! No republic can be prepared with the mere physique for a wur. It is not in their nature. Hut ill the moral, in the minds, thought*, and high impulses, the seeds of great deeds, we are always prepared, always ready, always or ganized. Hut I must stop. My mind is crowded with a tumult of thoughtsand feelings, pro- duced by the recent events. This extraor dinary law —a contingent declaration ol war against England—ought and will make ev- , cry person pause and reflect. Before we j know it, we may he in the midst of a furi ous war—not alone through the mad spir its on the border, hut arising under the tem per and views of the two general govern ment*. England will never give up the whole territory in question, because, in so doing, she would he given up the key of her North American possessions. The mims try who would do it, would be disgraced. The United Ntales will take no leas, and if that is refused, they will be ready and compelled to mark the line before another year, and support that movement by all the force of the nation. Wo are on the verge of anew movement among nations. I write this at a late hour, on the blessed Sabbath day. I have many matters to ygj describe j iilfi'Tum.ot find 111111 *i!. IJltlhfi^ 1 diiTjjln.

The Nashville Banner of the 30th of Jan- ; uary, says: ‘ Ex-President Jackson is in town this week, attending the trial ofjicgroes, [ charged with killing a negro man belonging to Stokely Donclson, Esij. AVe saw the Ex- : President at the Court House yesterday, very busy in giving directions to his counsel, in his ow n emphatic manner. 11c looks as well ns he did five years ago. February 4. —General Jackson’s three ne groes. charged with killing a negro belonging to Stokely Donclson, Esq., who were on trial during most of last week, were, on Sat urday, acquitted by the Jury. The defence was most ably conducted by Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Burton, and the Messrs. Ewing. The prosecution was also ably and ingeniously managed by the State’s Attorney, Mr. Trimble. IJr.T. W. Dyott of Philadelphia, who carried on a swimming business as a free banker ami President of the “Manual Labor Bank."is now applying to be relieved from paying his notes-—his Bank having failed. AVe always suspected him for a rascal and a humbug, and it seems we were not mistaken. He humbugged Gen. Jackson into endors ing his scheme, and for a long time went on gloriously. The Boundary Bnsine. No war yet—no fighting; and, as wv think, j there is likely to be none. There has been too much “dreadful note of preparation -too , v much talking to allow us to expeet a fig hl - I j Every tbina, however, depends upon the n* I deration of Governor llarvey, and the man who ( tssvc-nt as minister to England. A special min- , Inter is necessary in order to give additional , importance to our claim; if Ganibre.leng goi., , he will be treated lightly, probably be trtekpd, j 1 this nation will be insulted through hme-““ , ’ iwe shall have a war on the instant. If Web -ter goes, his remarks will have little weight, ~ * because the British will attribute prejudtees ’ | him, he being a northern man. If Gal bona i ~oes, he w ill have more weight than any of j j them, being a nullifier, and a southern nia . i and great importance will be attached by the I British government to his statements. Hut before a blow is struek let us pause and weigh the matter well. We are bound and,tied j dosely to England by our commercial re.atious I —that is much ! But far more—we are bound !to England by the holy ties of blood. Ibe British army “ill be composed of the poor men of that country ; and there is hardly a poor . family there that has not a relation in this coun try, and which relation will probably be in the ] American army. True, this state of 1111ntf would he immensely In favor of America, be cause the British soldiers could not fight against ours with the same energetic hatred that in spired them in their wars with the Freneh.— But bow horrible would the result be to all par- tie's. Like the. combat between the Horatio 1 and Curalti, the conquerer* would be reprhach i cil by their wives for dying their hands m the j blood of their brothers. The new* from the East by last night s mail, ills true, is rather more belligerent thatl of , late. From Houlton, the extreme Eastern post I~f the I nited States army to Bangor, 123 | miles, the. line of videltes send information in j |i)i hours. A regiment of 800Fustleer* from Gork, have reached Halifax, and by this time j j are probably on the Boundary; 800 choice, | troops from Quebec have reached Madawuska. ] Mr. Jarvis, the provisional land-agent, had : j thrown up another breast work of timber, near I : Kitzherbert’s—the place where Mr. Mclntyre ’ was captured. In order to join Ins force, it was necessary for the troops advancing from Ban gor to cut a road, which must at one point ap proach very near the Western boundary of new Brunswick, and there it was thought probabh they might have a brush with the New Bruna wickers. The detachment sent by Mr. Jarvis to tin - Kish River had broken up acamp of lumbering trespassers, making 5 men, 4 tiorses and 8 ox en prisoners. Another account says 11 men and all their teams.

Sir John Harvey had sent an express to Sir John Col borne. Three companies of regulars were quartered at Woodstock. The Maine papers say the British troops were strongly disposed to desert, and tliui a strong guard of provincial militia were stationed between Woodstock and Houlton, to prevent the regu lars from slipping over the line. Maine. —The collision of our fellow citizens, with a parcel of the Hritish sub ject* upon the disputed territory of Arnos look has been prolific of excitement, distur bances and rumors. The hidings of the* down Easters’ are said to be highly exaspe rated, and to a man they are impatient to take up arms, to avenge what they consider their insult and aggression. On which side the greatest fault lies, or whether the British have wholly been the nggressors in this affair, remains yet to be seen. W e would have the blame fall wherever the hand of justire shall lay it; and in the mean time it should be the duty of every citizen to keep cool, and not augment the excite ment which has spread like wild-fire, throughout nearly all of the North East ern States. The American aud British land agents, os well os some other officers on both sides, who w ere held prisoners, have been permitted to return on their patrole of honor, and some other steps have been taken which look favorable aud conciliatory. To counterbalance all this, however, war-like perpetrations are going on both sides the line, formidable enough), and which look like any tiling but amicable feelings anil intentions: though we believ that it is with a view of being prepared for the worst rather than with any definite intentions of proceeding to immediate hostilities. Ferocity of A Hat. —The Toronto (L. . C.) papers relate n singular circumstance which took place in that city, on the 19th ult. A Airs. Forbes left her child, an infant of two tijonths, asleep in her bed, in the j morning, and went about her usual pursuits, j Shortly after, a young lady, whose bed j room was next that in which the child was 1 : left, was alarmed by its screams, and on ■ hastening to ascertain their cause, she was j horrified at perceiving a large rat tearingat j 1 its check, and within half an inch of the * jugular vein ! The domestic monster had commenced with the infant’s hand, which ‘ he had severely torn, but had abandoned it r for a part from which more blood could be I obtained. Had not the young lady been , at hand to render assistance, the child, ‘■ which it is now said will soon recover, must e in a few minutes have been killed. f Lazineu. —One very fine day, a farmer went forth to his mowing lot. where he had hi j red half a dozen hands to cut dowh the grass. e I He came up on them suddenly, and found them all lying down under an apple tree, i “Well!” said the indignant former, “I'll give II ‘ an extra half dollar to the laziest fellow amongst •;ye 1” All jumped on their feet to claim the :1 donation, but one man. who laid still. “Ah !” i- said the farmer, “that fellow has won the mon ey.
