President Fillmore*
Our readers have now had leisure to examine and
• digest the annual message of the President. It Is the
last he will amuT into Congress. With the third of
March next will close his present career as President of
the United 8tates. Summoned by an inscrutable de
cree or Providence to tho head of the nation, when the
Stoutest hearts trembled for the future, be will leave
* office with the consciousness of having falthmily dis
charged tho duties devolved upon him. Observe with
what modesty he alludes to himself In the conclusion of
his last message to Congress
“Called by an unexpected dispensation to Its highest
trust, and at a season or embarrassment and alarm,! en-
. teied upon luarduous duties with extreme diffidence.
1 claim only to have discharged them to the beet or my
hnmble ability, With a sluglo eye to the public good t and
' His with devont gratitude, In retiring from office, that I
leave the country In a state of peace and prosperity."
No genuine man can fail to sympathise with the Presi
dent in the personal satisfaction he feels at leaving office
# with the consciousness of duty well performed. From
v tot to last, his only ambition seems to have been simply
to discharge his duty. In doing this, he has lost sight or
. party. He has sought neither to elevate nor to pull
down any man. He has sanctioned no measure with a
view to advance tho Interests of himself or his psrty,
nor has he withheld his signature from any bill which ho
believed to bo right, from a fear of popular clamor. In
truth, we have had few such meti In tho Presidential
okce. On n review of bis wholo administration, we ore
‘ . at a loss which to admire the more, the modesty and pa-
. trlqtlsmof the man, or the courago and Jnstlce of tho
t office. .It Is not too much to say, no President since
tho days of WAsmaoTon has shown a more unselfish
spirit or a greater disposition to do what was right He
» Isa model President, physically, mentally, and morally;
and we hope to live till the day when ho will again bo
called to the office which he has filled with so much
honor to the country and distinction to hlmseir.
The N. Y. Advertiser advances sentiments In regard to
the President which we heartily endorse and adopt It
justly characterises hla administration as M an eventful
oho. There has been no sluggishness of the public
mind;, no stagnation of sentiment The stream or public
events has not flowed with unbroken stillness and calm.
Storm and tempest have swept over it, and not only ruf
fled Us surface, but stirred its very depths. The man at
the wheel has bad no easy post; a strong will, and a
steady-hand, and a watchful eye have been needed to
guide the ship of stale safely through the perils that have
* assailed her. The Union has been shaken by a social
earthquake, disturbed by domestic disagreements, and
be to whose care the vast edifice was consigned, bas had
need of sleepless vigilance to preserve unimpaired both
foundation! and superstructure; and when at length the
danger at home had passed away, complicated dlfflcul-
lies arose from abroad, and cautlod and skill, combined
' wltb firmness and promptitude, were necessary to ward
off. external ills. - Mr. Fillmore's administration has been
crowded with events, and has been compelled to give
proof of its power or weakness, Ito ability or incompe
tence. And what has been the result?
Is not the republic in a preeminent degree peaceful
and prosperous at home and respected abroad? Never
was It more so, since the day when it declared Us inde
pendence. Considering aU the stirring events of the
Inst throe years, could this have been the case bad an
inefficient Administration been at the head of affidra?
Undeniably U could hoL A single error of the Execu
tive and bis Cabinet In that troublous time when Pre-

■lightest Indication of sectionalism, the least manifesta
tion of a disposition to trifle with the spirit or the con
stitution or to yield more than it required, or the faintest
symptom or quailing before the excited clamor of either
North or 8oulh In that hnrrlcane of agitation—would,
we will not say have severed the Union of the states, bnt
would unquestionably have weakened, and probably
destroyed for the remalnder'of Mr. Fillmore's term,
thatgrea! moral power or the Government by which
alone it can bo beneficially administered for a free
people;
‘ Justly did Mr. FUlmore appreciate bis position, and
- .nobly did be vindicate alike his elevated patriotism and
his administrative capacity. Yet a moment's reflection
will convince any intelligent man that pending the com.
promise settlement, and during the subsequent excite
ment, tho President must ha vo keenly fell the responsi
bilities of his position, the possibility that hla motives
might I>e misinterpreted, the certainty that his every
movement would be; severely criticised. A Northern
man, trained and educated In a locality where slavery
bad no existence and no sympathy, it was Impossible
that be could love the M peculiar Institution" of the
South for Its own sake; norcould ho be unmindful or
the bet that what the Booth asked, and bad a right to
ask under the guarantees of the common constitution,
would be distasteful to many esteemed personal friends,
would probably wean from him the good feeling of
neighbors with whom he bad long bdd pleasant inter
course, audvrould lead to personal estrangement in various
parts or the Northern states. But these things weighed
not against that sense of duty as President of the Union
whlchi from the moment of bis entering the White
House, has been Ids rule of action. Much as abolitionists
have denounced Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Webster, and.
others of the Cabinet, for giving such abundant efficacy
to the compromise act, the pen that wrote bis signature
to that enactment .fyscame to him the sceptre of real
power for the further wise and beneficial administration
of tbe government of this republic.
From that moment, tbe popular sentiment gave
strengtlH-we bad almost said gave omnipotence In the
sense of.efflclent administration—to tbe Government and
to Mr. Fillmore as its bead. It was comparatively easy
afterward* to silence. the discontent of South Carolina,
• to quell tberebellldus hotrod of ultra aboilllonlsin,
to restrain the tendencies of tbe Cuban sympathisers, to
withstand the great but transient excitement which
Kossuth * eloquence endeavored to array against tba
Government of the country that hod shown him such
wondrous hospitality, to demand and promptly receive
from Great Britain herself the most ample apology for an
Insult to the United . Slates flag, to assert and maintain
our rights before the whole world, and what is no leu a
glory to our Government, to maintain the rights of a
friendly power against the sub verst vo attempts of our
own citizens, Domestic prosperity, national honor and
notional justice have alike been sustained by Mr. Fill-
snora** vlministration, and «bi» high ,dl»Unr4lon.wlH he

Of hlsiuinasl Message Just published, we -need not

Messrs. ScatvRN and Boaga-ra, (directors) went Into
the streets tor a few hours yesterday, beginning at mid
day, for the purpose of collecting subscriptions for tbe
road hence to Pensacola via Albany. Everyone to whom
application was made subscribed with one or two ex
ceptions. Tbls circumstance we regard aa expressive of
• roaoluto determination to carry tbe work through.
Tho result of their labors, which will be resumed this
morning^ is, that tbe sum of e*« hundred and (we thousand
dollars was put down.. Verily, old Savannah goes nboad
of all other places wo ever read of; for taking rail-road
It la stated that some citizens of Liberty remarked at
the 1st* celebration that that county would put down at
least *100,000, and a wealthy; gentleman residing on the
route has, we are assured, signified bis Intention or sub
scribing *20,000. All the present Indications seem to be
Macalubtsr's KrrsRTitfWSHTS.—There are men In
themselves. Of this preeminent class Is Mr. Maoalus.
mil He Is as for above his eompeers In ibe msglo art,
as John Kemble was above ono or bis subordinate
actors. They Imllale, he Invents. It Is to his mechan
ical Ingenuity, and his real love oT hU business, that he
Is Indebted for the singular and strange Inventions and
ooncolls that have astonished the world. With him
there is no blundering. Everything goes on like clock
work, and by his easy grace and uniform courtesy, be
puts hit audience at ease In an InstanL He always
deserves and commando success. It is not long since that
he left at Boston as foil bouses after performing nine
sucosssire weeks, as when he first began. When be
was here In 1840 he had to the last moment frill houses.
Tho same was the case at New Orleans, after perform
ing both In English and French eight weeks.
As his name Imports, Maoalusmr Is a Scotchman.
He was bora In Glasgow. He la now a cosmopolite
speaking several languages, liberal with his money, and
decidedly a gentleman In the best acceptation of the
word. Had he lived two or three centuries ago, he might
have held the best Intellects of the age enslaved by the
belter that he held fkmtliar convene with spirits from
another world. He might at that time, had ho pleased,
have controlled tho action of Kings and Princes by a ma
gic and undisputed sway. Now, he goes laughing and
singing along life's highway, every now and then con
juring up from his fertllo Imagination some new, inno
cent and pleasing diversion with which to delight the
world. Ho has already accumulated a large fortune, but
he follows the bent of bis genius and keeps on In his old
practices.
He will open at the Theatre to-night. Those who have
never seen him, should know that he fills up the whole
stage with the magic splendor of his paraphernalia.
Thus, at the outset, the scene becomes transformed Into
a mystic temple, gorgeously symbolic of bis art. He In
troduces to-night hla fomous mechanical wonders of the
"Peacock" and “/far/ffmV-alao his productive “Port,
folio" and his “Inexhaustible Bottle," from which be ac
tually pours forth and give* to the public twenty-two
kinds of liquors. He will, also, present for tbe first time
here, the wonderful “MysUeChlneso Cabinet," said to be
a marvel. This with bU “Magic Clock and Bell," and
the “Great Shaw! foal" comprise some of the principal
features or his programme for tbls night.
The Box office Is open this morning at 10.
Tna Plank Road.—Ir wo remember right, It was dis
tinctly understood when tho merchants were celled upon
to subscribe to the Plank Road along the Bay, that the
city was to keep It up. This the city bas felled to do, ss
the present condition of the road sufficiently shows. It
has been so long neglected, that In some places It bis be
come hardly passable. The wear and tear of this thor
oughfare Is immense, and not a day should be allowed to
pass without beginning to put it Into condition. It has
now become Imlispensible to the actual necessities of
trado nnd commerce, and unless the claims of commerce
are to be set aside, and held of no value to Ihla seaport,
a remedy should bo applied immediate'}. We desire
to call the attention of tho new Mayor and Council in an
especial manner to tho actual condition of tho road.
Railway mom thr Atlantic to Vicxiburo.—8. s.
Jokrs, Esq., the Engineer of the Opelika road Informs us
that the construction of a road, spanning the wholo dis
tance between Vicksburg, on tho Mississippi river, and
the Western border of Alabama, is actually provided for-
This leaves only 124 miles or road to bo made (from tbe
border to Montgomery,) in order to connect Vicksburg
with Savannah and Charleston. Tho citizens of Mont
gomery are warmly interested in this subject, and n move
will at once be made In or out of tbe Legislature of Ala
bama to effect so desirable an object.
Thb Popular Votb poa Prrsidrnt.—Wo have tbe
official and unofficial vote ft every State of the Union,
with the exception of five, and estimating tbe majorities
in these, tbe aggregates are os follows

Olr Bull and Strakoscu.—Maurice Strakoach, the
celebrated pianist, has Induced OIo Bull, the great vio
linist, to undertake with him a farewell musical tour
through the United 8tates. The little musical wonder,
Adelina Patti, Is also engaged to accompany the party.
They have already commenced their trip by way of the
Western States. At their concerts In Albany, Troy;
Utica, Syracuse and Rochester so great was tho desire to
•ee and bear them that hundreds were unable to get ad
mission into tbe concert rooms.
Lost Vrsskl and Caaw.—The brig Amelia Jane,
Capt. Foxwbll, which cleared at Baltimore on the 23d
Juno for Rto Grande, laden with flour, A&, and with a
crew consisting of the master and eight seamen, upset
in a gale on the 14th August, near her port of destination,
and one man only saved—tba cook. The hullfloated with
all her cargo, (Iho masts, rigid tut. hatches, Swv, b«Lig
carried away,) and was ultimately driven ashore at
Iguape. 19tli September. The wreck U calculated with
ber cargo to yield a fair salvage.
Tub Frbibbt in Eoutiiivkstbrn Gkoroia.— 1 Tbe
Albany Patriot, speaking of the damage done In that
quarter by the late freshet,says:
The destruction of property, so far as we have heard,
has been very great. Several cotton boxes have been
lost, much stock has been drowned, every bridge that
~we have heard from on tbe creeks in this and the ad
joining counties hare been swept away, and most or the
water mills have either been destroyed or considerably
injured.
Newton, the county town, was covered with water on
Monday and Tuesday, making it impossible to hold tbe
adjourned court.
BouRDAnr brtwrbn Gaoaou and Flosida^-Wo
extract tbe following paragraph from the message of
Gov. Brown to the Florida Legislature now In session:
“ In obedience to the provisions of an act or the late
General Assembly, which made it my duly to take such
steps as I might deem necessary and proper for the
speedy settlement of the long pending question of dis
puted territory between this State and the State of Geor
gia, which had been referred to tbe Supreme Court of
the United Stales for adjudication. I sent David P.
Hogue, Esq., Attorney General of Florida, to the City of
Washington, upon that subject, with authority to em
ploy, on bebalror this State, such assistant counsel as he
might consider necessary. I am Informed by Mr. Hogue
that he engaged the Hon. Rererdy Johnson of Baltimore,
to whom a retaining fee has been paid, and that the case
will come on for hearing at tbe next term oflhe Supreme
Court. The Attorney General's Report will be found
more foil upon this subject, to which I beg to refer the
General Assembly.
State Omcaas in Florida.—The Legislature of
Florida has elected Mr. Villifiocb, of Madison county,
Secretary of 8tate; Major Beard, Comptroller General;
Charles Austin, Treasurer, and fit. D. Papv, Attorney
General. W. 8. Diuvortu, was elected Solicitor Gen
eral of the Middle Circuit; James F. McClellan, Solic
itor of the Western Circuit, and James Gbttis, Solicitor
of the Southern Circuit.
Pierce's Majority in Florida wu 1,455. Tbe whole

Plurality or Wives.—Orson Pratt, one or the lead
ing members of the Latter Day Saints, preached a sermon
at Comcert Hall, in SL Louis, on Sunday week, In which
he defended the system of a plurality of wives, as prac
tised at Salt Lake. He deduced his arguments In support
of the idea from the Scriptures.
Mohumrrt to Cooper.—It Is said that a monument Is
about to be erected to the memory of James Fenimore
Cooper, near his late beautiful residence at Cooperstown,
N. Y. No place can be more appropriate than the spot
he has enriched with the charms of his genius.
Steamship and Railroad Line abound thb World.

Thb Columbus and Opblrika Road.—We had tho
pleasure of convendog yesterday with Mr. Pollard, tho
President, and Mr. Jonesj Engineer of lie Columbus and
Opelelka Road. These gentlemen are In Savannah on
busiucss connected with the Road. Wo are gratified to
hoar from them that everything la going on as well as
could bo expected. The entire grading and bridging of
tho Road Is under contract In moderate, sized sections,
there being eight contractors along tbe whole line of 88*
relies from depot to depot. It is believed that tho Road
will be done and In running order In one year from tho
1st April next at farthest. This Road will cross tbe Chat

“Romo man are born great, sotuo men achieve great
ness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."
Purser Smith, of Crescent CUg notoriety, has had a very
narrow escape from tho lost mentioned calamity. Gen
eral Carepo at one lime, seemed determined to thrust
greatness upon the Purscr-but the telcgraphlo des-
‘•tehee from Charistton to-day, Informing us that
heueeforth Gaoaoa Law ami his steamers are to come
and go, without molestation; “ at ono fell swoop" have
put a stopper In the trumpet of Fame, which It Ukely to
remain there forever. Smith, the moat “gentlemanly"
of all the “ gentleman pursers," lias suddenly come down
to tho vulgar level of ordinary mortals, lie is off hit
•tilts. The Captain General of Cuba, won’t fire Into the
Cherokee and aluk her, and nobody will oondosccndto
arrest Smith and have him Incarcerated In the dungeons
of tbe More. Ueucobotli Smith and tho GA*roftt< will
come home,Just as any other “gentlemanly purser,”and
any other steamer would como. The Provisional Gov
ernment Gaoaoa Law undertook to setup against tbe
Federal Constitution, la thus nt an end; his okl muskets
are below par; tho filllbiutera find themselves sud
denly bereft of their capital stock, while Such aboli
tion Journals as tho New York Times, that espoused
with a gusto the cause of the Cubanecra, In tho pursuit
of popularity I has all at once found out that in this ns
In the Kossuth Intervention case, it has been “ barking
up the wrong tree."
You will see by the elty papers that the Democrats had
a frightful row at the “Old Wigwam" on Thureday eve
ning last The difficulty grew out or an old dispute be
tween tbe “Barnburners” and “Hunkers,” at the pri
mary elections last fell. Oh, the harmonious Democracy 1
The new steamship Augusts, of the New York and
Savannah line, Is lying at the Novelty Iron Works,
awaiting tbe completion or her mathluery at that estab
lishment I paid her a visit yesterday, and was highly
pleased with every thing I saw. She was modeled and
built, as you are aware, by our pioneer builder, Mr. Wm.
II. Waas, which Is a sure guarantee that she Is put to
gether In a thorough manner. The materials used in her
construction are live oak, white oak, locust and red cedar.
Mr. Waas, perhaps more than the general run of build
ers, bas the rare faculty of producing a beautiful model,
and building hit ship accordingly. He delights In hit
profession, and considers labor or expense nothing, com
pared wllb success. In short, it la hls ambition to build
tbe best, roost beautlfol and swiftest vessels afloat. The
Augusta is 220 feet long, 35 feet beam, and 21 feel depth
of hold. 8he la four feet longer thou tho Alabama and
Florida, and Is as much larger every other way In pro
portion. She will have accommodations for at least filly
more passengers than her consorts, having, In addition
to the sleeping apartments below, a large number of fine
state rooms ou deck, which I believe the Alabama and
Florida have not. She will have a spacious cabin, or
saloon, splendidly walnsootted with mahogany, curled
maplo and other fency woods, and finished and furnished
in tbc first style of nautical beauty. Her accommodation*
for passengers will bo all that can be desired for health,
comfort or safety.
She Is sheathed with yellow metal about four feet
deep, and above that she Is painted black. Her figure
head represents an eagle on tho wing, tastefully gilded;
otherwise she is entirely smooth forward. Her model
differs very little from her consorts. Vlewlug her broad
side, ber bold and buoyant sheer, and the excellence of
her workmanship, render her an object or unqualified
admiration. Her item is seml-elllptical In form, and Is
tastefully ornamented. She is to have a ainglo lever
oscillating engine, which Is considered an Improvement
on tho side-levers heretofore generally In use. Some of
our fleetest steamers liavolhe oscillating engine, among
which I may mention the Golden Gate and lUinole. Her
machinery will not bo completed and arranged much,
if any, before the middle of January, and she will not
take here place In tho line before tho first of February.
8ho will bounder the command or that accomplished
officer, Cavt. Lyon, formerly of the Florida, and it is
confidently predicted by tho “knowing ones" that the
Auguota will make the run between Now York and
Savannah In fifty tears, when the machinery gets lu
good working order.
Mr. Waaa has the fourth steamer for the same line in
frame, and he Informs me that she will be ready for
launching in about four months. Her dimensions, AcV
will bo precisely the same as those of the Augusta.. All
honor to the citizens of 8avanhah for their enterprise.
Ship-building generally In this city and vicinity Is
unusually dull, for reasons heretofore explained.
Tbe value oflhe exports from this port to foreign ports
since the 1st of January last (eleven months) aacompared
with the corresponding period or the two previous years,

•mall craft are missing.
Columbus and Fort Valley Muacooaa Road.
Our readers are aware that fifty miles or this road from
Columbus East, have already been completed by Colum
bus enterprise. We learn that the remainder (ending
at Fort Valley on tho Southwestern) will be done by the
first of April next. It la conjectured that the late rains
have retarded the completion about one month beyond
the Ume estimated.

Trade or thb United States with Spain.—Our
present uncertain and equivocal relations with Spain
have the effect of making our commercial connections,
their extent, and value, matters of interest and consider
ation, and at this time particularly noticeable. It It there
fore an Item of some Importance to ascertain tbe charac
ter and extent or the commerce carried on between the
parent state and the colony, and between both and this
country.
The official returns of the Director General of Customs
for Spain give the Imports and exports In 1851 u follows
—first tbe imports:
From Europe 415,902,481 reals.

The exporta to the ume places, with Mexico added,
embraced a largo number of articles or prime necessity

Poor Devils.—A writer In tbe Journal of Commerce
says that there are more specimens of “tho poor devil"
In California than in any Stale In thsoonfedsracy. Among
hit acquaintances there are no leu than four dry-goods
merchants who peddle dams for a living, and seven
ministers of the Gospel who tend bar. According to
him, the only men who thrive in California, are the
rough, tough, and go-ahead. Tbe mere gentleman
stands no more chance on tbs Pacific than the mere
idler, rboplo who ut a value *on soft hands and soft
living will please notice.
European Correspondence of the Republican.
Dear Republican—lh\e week'V
resident In raris wu bold on the Boulevard Montmartre,
the object of which wu to render soma public tribute of
rasped to tha rnamdry or our departed national worthies,
day and Webstar. The call woe generally responded to,
and the meeting was a good one. Addresses were de
livered by oar Minister, Mr. Rives, Mr. Barnard, our
Minister at Berlin, M. Blots la Comte, late French Minis
ter at Washington, Messrs. Wood ofN. Y. and Dexter of
Boston, a scries or resolutions was passed, breathing a
spirit of deep regret, and a lively sense of our great na
tional bereavement. Though separated from their homes
by distance, American* mill be Americans. They are
folly alive to tho weal and woe of their country, hor
smllee and tears. They watch with patrtotlo eagerness
the shades whleh darken her path, and warm Into glad-
ness, Joy and prldo over all that reflects glory upon ber
name. In this peculiar nationality, perhaps no people
are so strongly marked u Americans. It is a character-
Istlo Brat noticed by foreigners, and though frequently
made a subject of ridloule, caunot among patriotic mon
be stamped ns a fault If It is a foult, U Is a very par-
donablo one—aye, even a praiseworthy one. In It con
sists much of oar strength. It emboldens the most timid,
and Inspires that revcreuco for our Institutions and laws
which form the baslsof our prosperity. No one ean suc
ceed In any enterprise who Is not warmed up to a sense
of Its importance, Its glory. A temporising spirit will
not avail. It Is essential to be decided. Tho position
taken must be broad, unmistakable. America has taken
tills position. The enterprise upon the accomplishment
of which she set oat was comparatively a now ono. Tho
civilized world frowned upon It, and met its early pro
gress with Ill-starred predictions. America, however,
trao to beraeli; has outwitted hor slanderers—and Amer
icana In the success of tho national experiment, under a
Government whose glorious principles have been so sig
nally experienced In tko enjoyment of a liberty which
bas hitherto been denied to- tho sons of Adam, for re
moved from the scenes 6f European rice, and European
politics, have grown up a maijced, strongly featured peo
ple. They are eminently nallsnsL They bate tyranny—
they love liberty. They meet in foreign lands, and n
fellow feeling brings them together. None but an Amer
ican can understand an' Aftfetfean. They may be differ
ent, yet they are also all very much aUke; for all breathe
a common Independence, which hu “grown with their
growth, and strengthened with their strength." They
love all that Is American* This love places them In n
Sirdng point of view, and though it may sometimes ren
der them objects of monarchical ridicule, rationally con
sidered, It cannot be termed any thing more than the
effervescence of patriotism.
8otne protests against tho Empire and Napoleon have
been lately proraulgW by the “Revolutionary Society-
proscribed democratic Socialists of France," residing
at Jersey—who met on the 31st ulL These protests,
•igued by Victor Hugo and others, filled with tho bitter
est denunciations of Napoleon, and appealing to the
people, were making Uielr way into the country through
various secret channels, when tho Government papers
boldly published them with very littlo comment. This
■how of Independence hat had the effect of throwing
these documents Into conlempL It was n happy policy,
intimating a consclouiiiess of Governmental security and
a vain appearance of desiring to conceal nothing from
tho people. So for from injuring the Empire, this publi
cation will, in nil probability, but make assurance still
more sure. These productions, though tho authors de-
serre some sympally, breathe so much of tho spirit of
assassination, fire, and revolutionary horror, that no
philanthropist or Christian can respond to them. Another
protest baa boon In secret circulation, and has also been
published In the Journals. Its tone Is strikingly In con
trast with those from, the “ Revolutionary Socloty.” It
Is from the “ Count deChambord," tbe Bourbon heir to
tho French crown. Tho appeal he tnakea to tho nation
is mild, dignified, and refleets well upon tho head and
• heart of its author. It is evident this touches more or
less the feoliugs of tho French. Ho expresses great at-
tachment to hls country, which he knows not whether
ho over will see agalz-tolls tho people that the Empire
will not give them stourlty nnd permanent happinoss,
and that peace and prosperity can only bo restored by a
retain to tho old dynaity—by tho establishment of a line
or kings which had governed France for fourteen hun
dred years. He will nevor relinquish hls birthright, but
calling God to witness, declares to Franco and the world
that folthful to the lavs ortho kingdom, to the traditions
of hls ancestors, he will religiously proaorve until hls
last breath tho depotil of the hereditary monarchy which
Providence has confded to hls keeping, and which Is the
only haven of safely where, after so ninny storms, France
may at length find repose and happiness
Quite a fever Is being spread over the world by “ I7a-
tic Tom's Cabin." It has created quite a/urora In Eng
land, and now the eonlaglon Is spreading over tho Conti
nent. It has been translated into the French, and may
bo seen sticking up conspicuously In the windows or nil
tho bookstores along the Boulevards and the streets 0
Paris generally. Thb work of course Is well known In
America. I road It in England, think It beautifully writ*
ten, and for a romance in negro life, reflects considerable
lustre on.the originality of Us.fldr authoress.. Books or
that description ore becoming quite current In England.
Among many which seem to be In circulation, I may
mention tho “ White Slave" tho charms of which wore
not sufficient to Induce me to give Ita full perusal. I
heard some account of tho lecturesof a fugitive from tho
“Sunny South"-one self-styled Henry Box Brown. Ho
has been sometime in England, giving entertainments in
the way of lectures on American slavery, panoramic de
scriptions, fee. Americans who chanced to be present
at somo of there entertaJuwents, report that they con
slated, as you may well Imagine, of a series of tho raorj
outrageous falsehoods, and so exaggerated were the
scenes and statements he gave, that the most credulous
were Staggered. Ho Is the fellow who made hls way
from Vlnginla to Philadelphia, in aT»ox—“this side up
with care.”
There is one thing. In the spirit of the French which I
Uko—they do not Interfere In tho domestic arrangements
or their neighbors. A mong tbe dally allusions rondo to
the subject of American slavery,there isnothlng which can
offend the feelings of a Southern slave holder—nothing
that reflects on the dignity and honor of the American
name, In conuoctlon with that subject. Tho great cru
sade which England and the Northern States of the
Uulon are waging against the Institution, only attracts
tbe notice of the French to excite levity and playfulness.
Thou factlonlsta and English philanthropists are re
garded here, I should think, In tho light or busy-bodies
who render thomaclvo Infinitely more contemptible than
they render good to the condition of the negro, they
seem to say, “make yourselves ridiculous,.and we
promise to laugh at you 1” .
Tbe Italian Opera opened hero evening before last
The first representation created quite an Iclat. The opera
or Othello was snug. MUscIlo 8ophle Cruvelli filled the
rflle of Desdemona and excited much enthusiasm. The
r6le of tbe Moor wu a perfect triumph for the tenor Bet-
Uni. Tho French Opera has produced nothing new re-
ceully, but have brought out at various times “/« Juif Er
rant," "It Prophite", and "lee Huguenots." "Moist" was
revived some two weeks since, and each representation
hqs attracted overflowing houses. Tho “Opera Coinlquc,"
that delightful place for passing an evening, has brought
out several new things this season-among which "lea
MgeUret <P Vdolphe," Is one of the happiest. Madame
Rachel U playing at the “Theatre Frencats." I heard her
the other evening In one of her favorite roles, “Diane."
Though decidedly In the “sere and yellow leaf,” her hls.
trlonlc powers are yet well preserved. life astonishing
how the French toilet can disguise the traces of Ume*
Mad. Rachel, to one Ignorant or her age, con assume
youthful paru and pass for twonty, If not too scrutlnlzlngly
observed with an opera glass. Her acting at limes is
truly brilliant. Madame Doche Is engaged at the Vaude
ville. A new piece by Alex. Dumas, Junior, and enti
tled "la dame aux Camillas," has had a most extraordi
nary run through some ono hundred and forty almost suc
cessive representations. The scchoU laid In Paris and
the story Is of a brilliant beauty and an illicit love.
Doche Is superb as the brilliant, unfortunate Margntr.
(to—and the entire representation, in the opinion of
the oldest stagers, displays throughout tbe most consum
mate acting. No pooplo can act ns the French do.
Thereto an case, a grace, a nature, which they can as
sume, which is tho perfection of acting. It Is seldom yon
see on tho French stage any exhibition of (hat affectation,
and those disagreeable stagetoms which so frequently
prevail In the English theatre. The French are born
actors. They can play all parts, so versatile to the
genius of the nation—but Use parts are always played
naturally—and hence, though French sincerity to some
times doubted, no one can rail being cnptlvatod with
Uielr facluatlng graces and bewitching manners, which,
to be bewitching, must always bear the semblance of
nature. BA c,

Danlol Webster In England.
We copy from a long and well written article In
the British Army Despatch, upon U10 llfo nnd charac
ter of Mr. Webster, the subjoined extracts, from whleh
it will be seen that tho departed 8tatumsn had some ns
wal m admirers in England u in this country. The read-
01 cannot fail to be Interested in the parallel run between
Mr. Webster, 8lr Robert Peel and the Duka or Wel
lington, though tho writer has, In our humble opinion,
allowed bis partisan foeliugs to prejudice bis judgment
u to the character of Sir Robert Peel.
Before giving our own English views or the character
and career of ivebster, H Is well to cousider what others
In this country think or uy. And first, according to our
wont, and. Indeed, our nocesslty, considering It* wide
spread Inlluenco for good or evil, let us comment on tho
observation or the Timet, “Jlo to spoken of in Amer

comparison between the two men, we shoutd like to

not feel that I deserve all the encomiums Which yon
have been pleased to bestow upon my efforts to serve
the country, yet 1 ean truly uy that I have, regardless of

_ , 1 reran. Ills public views were not more a contra-

sterwas, In Its broadest sense a patriot. Ills very errors,
ally In later life, were those of ono who loved bis
country to such a point that on onoor two questions It
almost blinded him to her honor. Peel was not even
the enthusiast of party, nnd both It and hls country were
lost In himself. Inthufr character and conduct then,
these statesmen were utterly dissimilar. They wore so
also In tho circumstances of thoir lives, • In America tho
real services of Webster were nover rewarded by tho
highest gift a nation oan bestow on one or her living
children. Webster never occupied the Presidential
chair. Inferior men, mere commnn-placo individuals
In comparison, were preferred to hlm-au Ingratitude the
natiou both confessed and defended. We shall not argue
tho propriety of this. Hit be a necessity or an act of
wisdom, all we shall uy Is, that Hls pity It should be so.
Hero England does notdiffer from America so much as
the Times would uy. She, too, hu the trick of elevat-
Inglnforlor men, but the reasons are far dlflerent. • •
Politically speaking, Webster was the child of Wash-
Ington, thehelr of hls principles—the Elisha to that na
tional Elijah—more aggressive and overbearing In his
foreign policy than tho groat founder or American great
ness $ but let It be remembered that ono had to guide
and mature inrnniluo difficulties, find the other to assert
the rights of bold and ardout youth. Up to this period
America would have done wrong to BlrUco a blow even
In defence of tho liberties of another nation. Hut, under
tbe guldanoo of Mr. Webster, aho has nevertheless dono'
much in tho bold nnd haughty attitude she hu assumed
—nay, oven by Iho very grandeur of her Insolence. The
reply to Austria, penned by the great man Just dead, was
a true moral shock to despotism, because ft was felt that
there was something In tho background to support opin
ion—tho desperate daring of n nation of freo inon, with
Incalculable resourcos, on unassailable territory, nn In
creasing population, nnd a maritlino disposition and na
ture. In that reply, the feMlghted bigot saw what the
world has to expocl. nnd trembled for tbe future or hls
god or demon. In tho coming struggle, America shall
and will take a part, and the genius or Webster first
taught Europo what she may expect from hls notion.
There are now four great powers In (he world—England,
America, France and Russia. There are two principles
or Government at war—two opposing elements, Tyranny
and Liberty—two religions, the Papal superstition, and
the universal freedom of thought to worship God aa ev
ery man best pleases. All other distinctions are shams
•md conventional unrealities. The great man who hu
Just died In America knew this, nnd none better. Wel
lington wu Ibenoblo pillar of ntalllng system—Webster
a glorious cornerstone of one undeveloped. Ono stood
unmoved and unsullied In tho midst of tbo docay of a
mighty constitutional edifice, and will remain standing
after ages have swept all traces or thereat away, like
some great marble monument or ancient Romo centred
in buildings or a different growth around. The other
will remain, also great, but haply taking nn honored
space in the noble support of a future superstructure of
hamotfaiMoui materlaf. Fjush hath fulfilled lilt destiny.
Tho end or each wu happy. NnlprU vouchsafed to tbe
American tho privilege oraylng such a death u even the
great and good rarely dlo—aflbrdlng a more sublime
spectacle thnn any deed of life can boast. It wm the
rare fortune of Webster tojoln to actlvo public services
tho domestic blessings of a Ulncinnntus. Tho dying
statesman smiled upon Ills own sotting sun, aud without
emotion named the honrof its final disappearance be
neath the limited horizon of human life. In Ills lost mo
menta he spoke praise nnd comfort to hls frlonds, leo-
tured hls husbandmen with words of. kind and sensible
advice, and showed a courago and a fortitude excelling
tbebraveraof tho soldier in tho field, or of tho martyr
on the scaffold. Not even 8ocratca himself died more
grandly. We have called him poetic. It Is said that bis
last desire wu to hear tho exquisite poem of Gray re
cited—thus listening to tbe purest melody of genius in
hls lut moments. What Incident could be more poetic
or Intellectually touching than this ? 80 fell tho curtain
on the lut scene of this great man at Marshfield 5 In that
lo oil mortal men it may afford a comfort and nn exam
ple. and tho recollection of millions shall love to raise
that curtain again and again, and to desire that their end
may be like hls.
irec epochs of England's existence are now closed—
Alfred—Cromwell—Wellington. Thefirst or America Is
complete. It began with Wublngton, and ends with
Webster. Shall, there be a fourth era of England's
greatness ? We tremble on the verge of nn answer.
Onrhopolsln“ycs." Our belief whispers “no."
We are right, In this our era of selfish mediocrity, to
hold up to admiration, apart from the cold criticism of
pcUy men, whose envy, malice, or Ignorance, cannot ap
preciate hls transcendent worth, the patriotism, genius
and talents, of our great Anglo-Saxon kinsman, tho illus
trious Daniel Webster.
