Miss Charlotte Thompson.
It will be gratifying to the many Savan

ance of a leading part in fiourcicault's
popular comedy of Old Heads and Young
Hearts, the Picayune says :
Miss Charlotte Thompson, as Lady
Alice, stamped herself in the estimation ol
all ns a lady-like actress ; a great point
It is, unfortunately, so seldom we see
perfect ease and eteganco of manner, on
the part ol those who assumo to represent
the manners and behavior of ladies. Miss
Thompson, young, beautiful, with a grace
ful carriage, an easy, self-possessed
manner, and the most faultless taste in
dross, does this, however, to perfection.—
And this, it may be said, is nearly, if not
quite, all that tho part, in which she made
her debut, demand. ThO wero touches,
however, in the performance, which show
ed Miss Thompson to possess no little
versatility, and which warrants us in pre
dicting for her a popular and successful
career on our boards.

in bis annual message to the Kentucky

ground. He declares that Kentcky will

would not concede. She will keep her
present status upon th8 slavery question
She will keep the faith and stand by its
settlement, the laws, the constitution, and
the courts. She will stand by the repeal
of the Missouri restriction ; she will stand
by i lie fugitive slave law and the Dred
Scott decision. She will always denounce
tho doctrines of the republican party, and
. the invasion at Harper's Ferry, and ever
bo found in defence of the rights of the
South, as a means of precaution he re
commends a tax on pedlers, a law to pre
vent free colored persons from coming into
Kentucky from other States, and an ap
propriation to enable that sort of popula
tion to emigrate, not again to return; a
re-organization of the militia is urgently
recommended.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
[Front otir H.eclal Oorraapondenl J
Washington, D. C., Doc. 9th.
Tho telegraph ere this has given you nn
inkling ol tho excitement which now ex*
iata in this city. The days ol ’50 are no
comparison to'them; for it is doubted
whether disunion wna tnlknd of as loudly,
or whother aa few concessions wero made
by political parliea. In the Houso the
struggle for Speaker still continues, and is
likely to continue until this letter reaches
you. The intense interest and excitement
which have been wrought to their highest
pilch by the introduction of such them
a* Harper's Ferry and Helper's infamous
work, can hardly be imagined.
Tho Houae galleries, capable of aoating
several thousand persons, are filled daily to
their utmost capacity by crowds who de
light in tho scenes on the floor; while their
approval or censuro of the sentiments
which are uttered, are atieated by
rounds of applause or a storm of fliese
ev. Such proceedings have never
been allowed beiore, and would not
be now, had the House any control
over those gatherings; but it may be ques
tioned aa to whether the example was not
first given on ihe House floor. Should
those exoiting scenes continue, we may all
be forced to agreo with Hon. Mr. Mokkis,
of Illinois, who was of the opinion th%l
unless they were checked, we should soon
hear the crack of the revolver and aee the
gleam of the varnished knife on the floor
ol the Houao' Indoed, I was forced to
place considerable roliance in so startling n
statement, when Ienw a South-Western
member in the clerk’s office yesterday,
heavily armed with both of those weapons.
Thus wo go in the House in the way of
exciioment. But Ihero have been man,
excellent speeches made by some of the
Soulhern members, which for their calm
ness and earnestness, their eloquence and
power, I have not seen equalled in Con
gress for many a day. I reler lo those of
Hon. Roger A. Pryor, Garnett, of Virginia:
Burnett, ol Kentucky; Davia and Lamar,
of Mississippi, and many cihers. Tbo
Block Republicans have not stated that
they did not endorse Helper's incqftdiery
work, and have, therefore, by preserving a
"studied silence"—lo use Sherman's own
words—and a “masterly inactivity," appu
rontiy endorsed it.
In the Senate, the debate on Senator Ma
son’s Harper's Ferry resolutions has been
conducted in a calm nnd dignified manner
and has branched out into all sorts of ways
lor the Black Republican Senators lo de
fine their positions. Senator Iverson put
forth a crushing argument in opposition to
the statement ol the Republicans, that ihe
northdid not sympathise with "old Brown,"
when he read the proceedings of the Bos
ton Legislature on tho execution of old
Brown, by which it was shown that there
was a clear and unmistakable majority
there who did have such sympathy. Net-
ther of the Massachusetts Senators ventured
a denial or reply. Sonator I. has little re
aped for Douglas democrats, and said, in
hia remarks, that they wero no better than
the Republicans,
Senator Sumner appears in his seat in
the Senate daily, but has said nothing, and
is not noticed bul by a very few of his
Black Republican friends.
Two hobbies which have been ridden
every session for years past, are already
prepared lor the Seimto. Senator Gwin
having given notice that he will soon pre
sent his Pacific Railroad Bill, and Sonator
Johnson has the everlasting Homestead
Bill with hint. The bill to facilitate the
acquisition of Cuba will be introduced Boon,
nnd the bill fur abolishing the franking
privilege now lies in embryo in the desk ol
Senator Powell. There are plenty of sub
jects for legislation.
The President gave a grand diplomatic
dinner this week, and Secretary Cass gave
one last night, at which all of the Foreign
Legation were present. The "season” for
fashion and folly is upon us, and nil arc
going to make the must of it.
The city is already filled with belles and
beaux, who intend to flirt through a "win-
ter in Washington." In addition to a fair
sprinkling of tho literati, wo also have
hosts from the “Fourth Estate"—editors
reporters,and correspondent. One of the
enterprising Western papers is now mak
ing an arrangement to have its correspon
dence from here telegraphed to them in
extento daily. _ X.
The members of Congress will be
entitled lo draw their pay and milleage,
under iho law, without wailing for the or
ganisation of the House. The law was
carolully worded in this respect, so that in
case of non-organizdiion, tho members of
tho House would draw their pay. Under
tbo old syalem they experienced some
embarresatnont on this scoro. Pending th6
contest tor Speaker which resulted in the
election of Mr. Cobb, tho members of the
Houae were unable to draw their mileage.
The eutn to be paid out from the Treasu
ry for salary and mileage is about a mil
lion ot dollars.
Thu President and Poatmasler-General
will recommend that Congress pass with
out delay an appropriation bill providing
for the payment of the deficiency for (he
service ol the Post-Office department,
amounting on tha 1st of January lo seven
nr eight millions for the last fiscal year
and the first half ol this. They will also
recommend that interest at tho rale of aix
per cent, be paid on the certificates of in
debtedness that were given lo the contrac
tors. Some of these certified accounts are
in original hands, and others have been
passed to brokers and banks.
The Total Eclipse or the Son.—The
total eclipso of the 18th of next July will
be a very important one to tha scientific
world. The director of the Dorpat Obser
vatory was the first to remark that at tha
moment of obscuration four ol the princi
pal planets—Venus, Mercury, Jnpiter and
Saturn—will appear in the vicinity ol the
eclipsed sun as a kind of rhomboids) figure,
a phenomena of such extraordinary rarily
lhal many centuries will elapse before its
repetition. Darkness will cbmmence and
terminate on the land, the localities being
California and the shores of the Red Sea.
Between these extreme points thia eclipse
will be viaiblo in North America, from
whence the moon’s shadow will pass across
the Atlantic and traverse Spain; total dark
ness including the following important
towns in that country : Ouiede, St. Vin
cent, Santander, Bilbos, Vittoria Burges,
Pampoiana, Saragossa and Valencia. The
line of totality will then cross the Mediter
ranean and enter Africa, passing across
Algiers, Bensan, Tqyor, Sockna, Sobba,
Goddona. and Moursok. Thus, although
this remarkable eclipse will not be total in
any pRrt ol tho United Kingdom, it will be
so in a large portion of Spain and accessi
ble portions of Africa.

If any ono will take the trouble to ana*
lyze the articles embraced in the amount of
$84,417,493 belonging alike to tho labor of

at least one-third is us justly the products
of slave labor. Wo have therefore the
Mfc that out of $278,392,080 ot exports ol
domestic industry, over 200,000,000 is fur
nished by those States known as slave
Statfs.
Wo might prolong this article with many
reflections which these facts awaken. We
might point to other facts connected with
the subject to show the interested depen*
v denco of ono section upon another, apart
from the produce which each sends abroad.
We might at some length and with sopio
feeling portray the folly of continuing our
dissensions and discords, as sections of this
great Republic. But we forbear. We
submit these figures and facts for those
who think and are governed by reason, no
matter where their lot has been cast,
whether North or South, East or West.
The Humored Organization to Rescue
John Brown.
With reference to the statements that the Vir
ginians had no good ground for their fears that
an attempt would be made to rescue Brown on the
day of hla execution, the Cincinnati Enquirer, of
r *h Instant, says *
ini
Lord Brougham and Slavery in Georgia.
Rov. C. H. Howard, one of tho editors
of tho Southern Cultivator, says :
Our attention has been called to a para
graph which bus appeared in a number of
newspapers in which Lord Brougham is
reprcaonied as saving, in suhstanco, that
slavery was 'forced upon Georgia, while a
colony, by the mother country. His Lord-
ship ia in error, and tho orror is one which
in the present state ol public opinion as to
slavery at the South may do harm. Wa
aro perfectly familiar with the whole facts
of the case, having examined the original
documents relating (o it, in the State Pa
per Office in London.
Slavery was prohibited in Goorgii at ita
settlement, by the Trustees. The grounds
ol its prohibition, as stated by the True*
ties, were prudential—not moral. Gener*
al Oglethorpe, himself, owned a plantation
of negroes in South Carolina, al the time
he was at the head of affairs in Georgia.
One of the motives in the settlement ol
Georgia, was to establish a strong force in
a favorable position to check the advance
of the Spaniards from Florida. Another
was to give a home and employment to
numbers of white persons in England and
on the Continent, who wore the vlgtima of
misfortune. Another was to introduce the
growth ot silk and wine, both of which
were supposed to require a degree of in
telligence not attainable by negroes. The
introduction of slaves was deemed incom
patible with the ends proposed by tho foun
ders of Georgia.
Tho colonists very soon ascertained that
ibis prohibition was fatal to them. Caro-
llna flourished—Georgia languished. For
years the colonists petitioned to be allowed
negroes. Instead ol increasing in num
bers, Georgia in 1740 was reduced to one-
sixth of its former population. The person
most influential in inducing tho Trustees
at last to allow the introduction of negroes,
was the celebrated George Whitfleld. We
present an extract from one of hia letters,
as a pleasant theme of meditation to the
abolitionists. “God is delivering me out
ol my embarrassments by degrees. With
the collections made at Charleston, I have
purchased a plantation and some slaves,
which I intend to devote to the use of Be-
tiiesda.” (the Orphan House.)
The Highlanders at Darien, and the Mo
ravians at Ebenezar were averse to the in
troduction of slaves—they conatituted but
a small proportion of the population—the
rest wero most euger to be allowed their
use. After years of petition, in the year
of 1746, tho law against the Introduction ol
slaves was repealed. The effect of this re-
peal was magical. All the interests ol the
colony prospered, and its advanqe was ra
pid beyond comparison.
The introduction of negroes into Geor
gia, instead of being a compulsory meas
ure of England, wus an act of necessity,
suggested by the painful experience ol the
colonists. White labor had been tried
and lound to be practically useless in the
climate of our sea coast. The African
alone was found capable of enduring field
labor under our almost African sun. This
chapter of Gcdrgia history contains apreg-
nant lesson of instruction. It teaches the
absolute necessity to us of the institution
ol slavery, and the insane folly of those
who Would disturb it. II.

“WeLave Important Information upon the sub
ject which hen not yet been given to the public.—
While returning from the execution at Charles
town, we fell In oompeny wlth^jwverel persoDH
whose official and social position in Virginia af
forded an opportunity to become possessed of In
formation that could be reached by no others. In
the ooarro of conversation wo were assured that
Gov. Wise h«d tho most reliable and authentic lo-
formation that there was a secret organisation,
extending throughout Ohio. Pennsylvania and
New York, and numbering some 3,000 persons,
bound together by a solemn oath, who were sworn
to attempt the rescue of old John Brown. One
source from which this Information wns obtained
was a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature,
with whom Gov. Wise corresponded. It Is also
well known to porsons who were informed In ro-
gard to* the operations of the 8tate authorities,
that for a nurjoor of weoks several detectives from
Baltimore and Now Y«?rk have been Actively travel
ing through Pennsylvania, Ohio aud N«# York, to
gain Information in regard to the reportod receut
organisation. The informaut, who gives us the
details of these Investigations, stated that one of
the detectives from New York was actually ad
mitted amongst the rescue gang; that he took the
oath administered to each, and that in the coarse
of his association with the leaders, he slept with a
son of old John Brown and with Tidd, both of
whom made their escape from Harper’s Ferry after
the others I ad fallen into the hands of the mili
tary. This intimacy gave the detective an oppor
tunity of gaining the desired information in re-
‘ to the contemplated Invasion and rexcue,
vas communicated to Oov. Wise, in detail,
-g of a reliable and positive character, he
felt himrolf warranted In taking such steps as
would preserve the honor of tho Bute, aud prevout
the effusion of blood.

The Philadelphia Union Mooting.
Among tho Vice Pre.-ddonts at the late mass
mooting iu Philadelphia, we find the name of
Morton McMichael, editor of the North American,
tho leading organ of the Black Republican parly
in that city, aud who is at present a candidate Of
his party for the printing or the U. 8. House of
Representatives.
The Evening Bulletin, a paper which has taken the
lead tu heaping abuse aud insult on Virginia and
the South since tho Harper's Ferry affair, thus
speaks of the meeting:
It Is to be hoped that, after such a demonstra
tion, the South will cease complaining of Phila
delphia as sympathising with John Brown In hta
efforts to excite insurrection in Virginia.
The demonstration was a rorna kable one in
many respects, and especially as a contrast to the
conduct of the South on all occasions of agitation
and supposed danger to the Union. There has
never been, nnd we don’t believe there ever will
be, a Union meeting at the South to be compared
with that of lust evening. Disunion meetings and
demonstrationk, on the contrary, are of every day
occurrence there. After that most shameful day
iu tho history of the United States Congress, when
Preston S. Brooks, of South Carolina, knocked
down and ne<trlv murdered Charles Sumner, of
Massachuwntts, fn tho Senate Chamber ; when tho
whole North was indiguaut aud the whole nation
disgraced, there was not* meeting at the South to
disavow it, or to express to the North a particle
of sympathy or contrition. On the oontrary,
Brooks received the highest honors of the South
while living, and had a monument erected over
him when dead, for the blows he atrack in tho
Senate Chamber.
But the North does not appear to expect reason'
able conduct, from .the South; and it encourages
the South to unreasonable expectations of conces
sions from the North. We shall be gratified it the
Jayne's Hall meeting shall have the effect of mod
erating the excitement of the people of the South
ern States; but we shall be even wore surprised
than gratified. If such should be the case.

The Baltimore Patriot, one of the few
Southern papers that cast contempt'upon
the conduct of Virginia in har iato prapa-
rationsjlor aelf-defence, continues lo coun
sel the election oi Sherman, tha Heller-
Republican candidate for the Speakerahip.
Speaking of the Southern Americans, the
editor says i
“It ie their evidenjt duty to unite
with the Republicans and peoplo'a
parly, upon juat and fair terms, without
the sacrifice of a single principle, (this can
be done,) and organile the Houso on the
first ballot in the interest of the whole
Opposition. If they refuse to do so, and
the scenes of the Thirty-fourth Congress
in ihe election of Speaker era re-enacted,
heavy wilt be the reaponeibility upon tho
men whoae votca shall prevent an election
by a majority on iho first ballot,"
The Washingion Republic, iho Federal
organ ot the Black Republican party, hails
the course of the Patriot in advocating the
election of a Republican Speaker aa an
encouraging “ aign of the times."

Ten reaolntiona were then read, the
third of which ia aa follow# t
Petolved, That we look with indigna
tion and abhorrence upon the recant inva

John Brown did not leave any final alaie-

Out of Virginia, and if imported, at what

nsurgents, passed both houses unani
mously:
Whereas, (he circuit court of the county
of Jefferson, in ihe exercise of ile judioiei
functions, hath condemned cerlian persona
to bo executed on the 16th day of Ihe pres
ent month, fur treason, murder, end other
crimes, and it having been provided by
law that the governor shall not grant a
purdon to any person convicted of treason
against the Commonwealth, except with
the consent of the General Assembly,
declared by joint resolution, and the gov
ernor having informed the Legislature that
he will not interfere with the uenlenco of
the eoorl except in accordance with Legis
lative action, therefore,
Reiolved, by the General Assembly,
Thet (he said sentence ie deemed plainly
right, and no interposition ol the authority
ofthia Legislature is deemed necessary or
proper lo delay the execution of the sen
tence of tho court pronounced upon (aid

An Editor in Lock.—The editor of ihe
Wilmington (N. C.) Herald ia a luoky fel
low. He says:
Somebody haa sent us a Turkey—a real
Christmas Turkey—live at that, and all

beard hangitig down over hia breast, and
an awKward-luoking fleshy thing over bis
nose, which gels red and peieaa the notion
takes his Turkeysbip, and increaeee end
diminishea in size accordingly. We don't
know who sent us this bird. A note aud
a black hoy came with il, but the iermer
was very brief, with no nemo attached,
while the latter wna even more brief than
the note, for not a word could wo get from
him, bui that a lady sent it: Hqr name be
would not disclose. -
A letter from Viunna says t—'“It is
slated positively that an autograph letter of
iho Emperor wilt be published in a few
days, which will annul all the realrieiione
imposed einee 1851 on the Jews in Austria,
and enable them to again bu the poeseveors

The 6tb resolution reads—

to our continued existence ns a civilized
and enlightened nation, and that in league
with our patriolic brethren throughout the

our sacred honor.
The 7th resolution declares fealty to the
Conatituiion, and that we will faithfully
and unreservedly earry out ill its obliga
tions and requirements.
The 8th resolution declares that we will
discountenance everything tending lo pro
duce alienation of feeling between the
North and South.
The 9th resolution denounces the apolo
gists for tba lata raid upon Virginia, and

thia Convention, on Thursday lazt, we
staled that tbare was supposed to be 254

Stafford, on their recent visit to the Empe

M'Alister, who had several opportunities
of displaying hie musical add terpaichorean
lelanis before the Imperial pmirl. M'AI-
iater has brought homo with him a valud-
blc gold watch, presented to him by the
Emperor, in acknowledgment of .the amuse
ment he afforded the Court.
Er.icTohAL CoreuptionTn New York.
It is estimated, stye the New York Sun,
that the three parties in the late Charter
elect ior spent over $100,000 in carrying on
the contest. If to what waa spent through
the party committees and tbe secret elec
tioneering organizaiiond, were added the
expenditures of interested individual and
the more entbuelaelic aupportere of the
rival candidates, the total sum would
reach $200,000. A large portion of this
waa expended upon what ia called the
electioneering machinery, including ban
ners, placards, handbills, ratification meet-,
inga, and printing of tickets; bui by lar
tha greatar portion waa spent with the dl-
reut object of influencing votes.
