Republicans: The suffrages of the nation, and the oath I have just taken, trace out for me my future conduct. 1 shall follow it as a man of honor, and shall regard as enemies of my country all those who shall attempt to change, by illegal means, what all France has so distinctly established. Between you and me, citi/.ens and representatives, there cannot he any real difference of opinion. Our wishes and de sires aro the same. I wish like you to place so ciety on its true basis to strengthen democratic institutions, and to alleviate the miseries of that generous and intelligent people which has just given me such a striking proof of its confidence.

[Hear, hear.] We have, citizens and represen tatives, a grand mission to fulfill. To found the Republic is the interest of all—and a just and firm government. 1 shall be animated bv a sin cere desire of progress, without being reactionary or Eutopcan.

It is Col. Mitchell's determina tion to have the cars running to this place by the first of October next. If any of the contractors for separate work should lag behind, and indi cate that they will riot get through in timo, the contract will he taken from them, and sufficient force put upon it to complete it. The early com pletion of the work is not to bo frustrated by any failure to finish isolated portions. We are also informed by Col.

This distinguished officer died last evening from the effect of a disease resemb iog cholera, which he suffered to remain upon him for near two days before calling medical assistance. He was attack and on Saturday, but paid no heed to his complaint till towards noon on Monday, when his symptons became so distressing that medical aid was summoned, but no relief could be had from the most skilful and considerate treatment. He lingered till nightfall, in the perfect possession of iiis fa ulties. When he felt the hand of death upon him, he gave direc tions as to the disposal of his body, with the greatest calmness, entrusted various messages with surrounding friends, and clused his eyes forever. Col. Crogltan was the son of Major William Crogltan of the revolutionary war. His mother was the sister of the celebrated Gen. George Rogers Clark, who overran the North-western Territory during the struggle for American in dependence, and achieved for the United States the title of conquest hy which that immense tract of country, now divided into States teeming with a thrifty and hardy population, became a part of the confederacy. Both upon the father nnd the mother’s side he inherited the blood of the revolution. Upon the breaking out of the last war, Col. Crogltan entered the army, and at the early age of nineteen he made the gallant defence of Fort Sandusky. By this brilliant feat lie inscribed his name upon the scroll of fume. lie married and resigned liis commission soon after the peace; hut during the administration of General Jackson he returned to the service with the commission of Ins ectnr General, which was tendered to him by tliat illustrious commander He held this offio up to the time of bis death.— He was in bis fifty-ninth year, and leaves be hind him a wife and family. It was scarcely hoped that lie would live thro’ the day yesterday. It was the glorious Eighth of January, and as the booming of cannon would shake the chamber of death, thoughts of the olden iime would cr.l3 over iiint and ite wouid straightway revive, ile heard such sounds long ago, and they spoke to him of the past. Towards evening he weakened as the moments wasted. He struggled through till night closed upon the earth. The military had fired their last salute in honor of the expiring day. When its echoes had ceased to reverberate, the hero of Sundusky was dust.—A". U. Picayune. Holden's Magazine.— We have received (says the N T . Y. Mirror) a handsomely bound volume of this cheap and popular Monthly, which is quite as appropriate for a New Year's Gift as one-half of the Annuals that are got up “ expressly for the occasion.” The volume em braces but six months-u£ the Magazine, yet it contains a vast amount of valuable reading and gives one a “ realizing sense” of what the pub lisher is giving his twenty thoy-sand subscribers at the extraordinary low price of one dollar a year. The January number is very spicy. It contains several carricature portraits, and poeti cal descriptions of well known authors, that are quite pungent and Punchy. The following are specimens of the “cuts,” without the wood cuts. EDGAR A. POE With tomahawk upraised for deadly blow, Behold our literary Mohawk, Poe !

Education.- a Dctv.— Who would suppose that education were a thing which had to he ad vocated on the ground of local expediency, or indeed on any ground? As if it stood not on the basis of everlasting duty, as a prime necessi ty of man. It is a thing that should need no ad vocating; much as it does actually need. To impart the gift of thinking to those who cannot think, and yet who could in that case think ; this, one would imagine, was the first function a government bail to set about discharging. Were it not a cruel thing to see in any province of an empire, the inhabitants living all mutilated in their limbs, each strong man with his right arm lamed ? How much cruder to find the strong soul, with its eyes still sealed, its eyes extinct, so that it sees not I Light it.is come into the world, but to this poor peasant it lias come in vain. Forsix thousand years, the sous of Adam, in sleepless effort, have been devising, doing, discovering, in mysterious, infinite, indissoluble communion, warring, a little hand of brothers, against the great black empire of Necessity and Night; they have accomplished such a conquest and conquests; and to litis ntan it is all as if it had not been. The four-and-twenty letters of the a'phahet are still Runic enigmas to him. He passes by on the other side; and that great spir itual kingdom, the toil-worn conquest of bis own brothers,all that his brothers Itaveconquor ed, is a tiling non-extant to hint; au invisible empire ; lie knows it not, suspects it not. And is it not bis wi'.lin!; the conquest of bis own brothers, the lawfully acquired possession of all •men ? Baleful enchantment lies over him from generation to generation ; lie knows not that such an empire is his, that such an empire is at ail ! O, what are hills of rights, emancipations of black slaves into black apprentices, lawsuits in chancery for some short usufruct of a bit of land ? The grand “ seedfild of time ” is this man’s, and you give it 11 i 111 not. Time’s seed field, which includes the earth and all her seed fields and pearl oceans, nay, her sowers too and pearl-divers, all that was wise, heroic and victo rious here below ; of which the earth’s centuries are but furrows, for it stretches forth from the beginning ouvvhrd even unto this day ! “ My inheritance, bow lordly, wide and fair; Time is my fair seedtield, to time I’m heir I” Heavier wrong is not done under the sun. It lasts from year to year, from century to century ; the blinded sire slaves himself out, and leaves God, continue as two-legged beasts of labour, and in the largest empire of the world, it is a de bate whether a small fraction of the revenue of one day, (£30,000 is but that), shall,-after thir teen centuries, be laid out on it, or not laid out on it. But quitting all that, of which the hu man soul cannot well speak in terms of civility, let us observe now that education is not only an eternal. duty, hut lias at length become even a temnorary and ephemeral one, which the ne cessities of the hour will oblige us to look after. These twenty-four millions labouring men, if their affairs remain unregulated, chaotic, will burn ricks and mills,reduce us, themselves, and the world, into ashes and ruin. Simply, their affairs cannot remain unregulated, chaotic; but must be regulated, brought into some kind of order.— Thomas Carlyle. “The Spirit and the Bride say Comf..”— The Brooklyn Eagle has an anecdote in relation to Dr. Welch, who officiated in Brooklyn 0:1 Sab bath lust : The coolness of a gentleman in l)r. Welch’s church on Sunday night was not more remarka ble than that of the Rev. Doctor himself, on an occasion equally embarrassing. It is said, that some years ago a young couple came to him to get married, and desired to have the ceremony performed in the church after service. The matter was arranged according to their wishes, and the bridal party took their scats in the house of God ; but how much they heard of tiie dis course it is not for us to say—we rather suspect not much. At length the Doctor had occasion to repeat a passage of scripture, and he did it so impressively, nnd it contained words so in ac cordance with the tenor of their thoughts, that it called hack their attention. Says the Doctor— “ The Spirit and the Bride say come.” I” 111 Ulvitti At these words the bride looked out from un der her long eye-lashes, and inquired of her be trothed if they must go. lie looked hesitatingly for a moment, but as the Doctor was just then making one of bis impressive pauses, lie took it for granted that the bridal party was called for, and they all marched out of their seats and pre sented themselves before the altar. The Doctor was taken all aback for a moment, but be soon comprehended the movement and its cause ; and, coming down from the pulpit, without a smile he proceeded to tie the knot; which having done, lie dismissed the happy ones to their seats, and, stepping baek into the pulpit, finished his dis course. Taking a Tract.—The N. O. Delta says: A colporteur opened the door of an Irishman’s shanty in the Second Municipality, and putting j/i his head, in a very pious tone asked the owner of the domicil, who happened to be in at the time, “ If lie would accept of a tract of the Holy Land,” meaning, of course, tin essay on that in teresting portion of the world. “ Yis, bejabers,” was the reply of the Hibernian, “a houl section if yo give a good title deed. But I should like to know if there is much of it prairie, or if new settlers are subject to the agur there?” Ei.ements ok National Wealth.—Burke considers the stock of materials by which any country is rendered prosperous and flourishing,to be —its industry,its knowledge or skill,its morals, its execution of justice, its courage, and the na tional union in directing these, powers to one point, and making them all centre in the publie benefiit. True magnanimity does not consist in never falling,but ill rising every time we fall.— Gold smith. DIRO, At New-Porf, Fla., on the 23d ult. Mrs. Mary Ann, wife of Georgia S.
