most striking man in the House of
Commons is Disraeli,, on the opposite
side. I could well see how the au
thoress of “Counterparts” should have
found him as susceptible of being a
protean hero for her novel as Rubens
found his w r ife for so many pictures.
That face, so transparently deep and
dark, those thin, cold lips, cruel and
soft as those of a panther, that eye.

Sketches of the Leading Members in Ses

A London correspondent of the New 7
York Tribune gives the annexed
sketches of the leading members in
the British House of Commons :
There are nearly thirty millions of
people in the United Kingdom. Of
these about three hundred may get
into the gallaries, etc., of the House
at one time—this including the repor

of those days censured Mr. Jefferson and
Mr. Calhoun for thus expressing their opin

friends of a strong Ceneral Government

his opinions, when called upon, (while be

voice, dress and air of Sot hern’s Lord
Dundreary, by these honorable geutle-
men.
But all these foibles end when we come
to the section so ably represented by
Bright and Cobden. Here are men who

there, behind a thick grating, are the
patriotic subjeatresses of the Queer.,
peering through the little holes in a
manner quite ludricous to behold.—
The House,' though'small, is elegant;
everywhere carved oak. Through the
kaleidescope glass roof streams down
a soft and charming light. At one
end, under the reporters’an .1 ladies’
gallaries, is the Speaker’s chair, in
which he sits like a statue of Old
Time in a niche, and he and his clerks,
with their great curled white perukes,
gowns, etc., and the keeper—Earl
Russel’s brother—with his little legs
in buckskin tights and buckle shoes,
and hair with extensive pigtail, give
you an idea that they havejust popped
in from a masquerade, and have not
had time to change their dresses. The
seats run at parallel lines with each
other from one end of the House to
the other. On these the members sit
close together, without table, desk or
anything else before them. Not a
book or newspaper can be seen near
them. And as they sit with their hats
on they resemble nothing so much as
a quaker meeting. Here doubtless
the Quaker idea originated. As with
them, here only he who is absolutely
narrow
is not baldness, but the interminable
stretch of the forehead backward, the
deep black hair, with the one strange
Medusa lock, which curls down his
front—all these rivet the attention.
Disraeli is not an old man, but his 1
face is full of lines and changes.—
Phrenologically one may say that his
enormous powers of observation are
his greatest strength. He evidently
hears many an undertone which the
speaker meant should not be heard.
Lately in the debate on Schleswig
when Palmerston was trying to soothe
the apprehension of those who fear
that England would be involved in
war, Disraeli detected that this sooth
ing was for a special purpose, and that
in reality the government was on the
brink of war. He arose, and to the
astonishment of all he so pressed this
an orator. His appearance is fine, his
manner good and frank, his voice earnest
and clear. Cool and calm be always is,
but not so the torics who listen to him ; on
them every word tells. Cobden is more
elastic and more caustic ; in manner not
unlike Dr. Bellows, when that gentleman
is so fortunate to lie speaking without his
gown in some informal assembly. Anoth
er peculiarity of this independent section
iu that its benches are nearly all full. It
is a curious fact that out of the six hundred
members of the House not more than three
hundred ever see the inside of that House,
and so many only when some special
struggle—e. g., on church rates—requires
every party to be present in force. The
rest are merely nominal members, and the ! his speech.
Stephens is now on the same track, I can-
uot but believe that a like fate awaits him
in after years—after we have obtained our
independence, and people can sit down
and calmly consider and act upon funda
mental principles of government. I can
not but think, that, in ten years from this
time, you and the Editors of the “Times”
and “Recorder” will regret that you did
not publish this speech ; and so believinj,
and thinking that it is nothing more than
right that Vice President Stephens have
a fair hearing before your readers, since you
have let others assail him, and you have 1
Georgia Baptist Association for Orphans.
AVe call the especial attention of those
who are intere-sted in this noble woik of
charity, to the subjoined notice of Mr. A.
E. Marshall, Secretary
At a meeting of the Executive Commit
tee of this Association for Orphans, tho
following residntions-were adopted :
Resolved, That Deeds to lands, cither
improved or unimproved, will he taken at
a valuation to be fixed by three citizens of
the county where the lends are located—*

Association.
Resolved, That persons iu different por

which they are willing either tc put in aa
stock or sell for the purpose at a reasona

They may spend a year in America or Chi

who represent the people are regular in
view, that Palmerston could not deny j attendance, because, they have an interest
it, and the fact that the country is
drifting into war became for the first
time suspected by the country at
large. But Air. Disraeli is almost the
only man with anything attractive a-

For the Confederate Union.
Newspaper lying.
Messrs. Editors : I would ask why
it is newspapers will persist in falsify
ing so much ? We have but to open
almost any newspaper in the pay of
the Confederate Government, when
we see some abuse of Gov. Brown or
the Legislature,- calling them traitors,
Ac. The whole of this abuse is for
contending for the very principle
that they have run made over before.
What did the Macon Telegraph, Sa
vannah Republican, Southern Recor
der, and many other Journals say
when the Lincoln Government parti
ally suspended the writ of Habeas 1
pressive declaration against capital
punishment. I was somewhat anx
ious to see Lord John Manners, who

the government and a purpose before
them.
There are some, however, in the House
who are frequently seen there, but who
rarely take part in any debate ; they
seem to enjoy the House as a club. There,
opposi-j for instance, is Bulwer, a little grasshop
per cf a man; one wonders how Thack
eray found enough of him for distinction,
lie generally sits near the opposition, and )
on that side ; but he never says anything, ,
though he looks wise.
The fine looking and vigorous Air. King- I
lake now attracts much attention. He i
sits in the same neighborhood, and the |
government evidently feels restless when ;
he criticises. He is an earnest -man, and j
will one day be a more important man in
the partial supporters of the opposi
tion. The government, with Lord
Palmerston and the cabinet, sit on the
speaker’s right, the officers occupying
the first scat down on the floor, (for
the beaches rise higher as they recede
to the wall.) This section attracts
the greatest attention, although per
haps the first inquiry of every one
who enters the house, is, “Which is
is Disraeli"?” Lord Palmerston occu
pies the center of the bench, where he
seems to have been carved to stay,
quite as much as that very dog like
lion in oak at the door. He sits there
by night—that shrewd, ready-witted,
reddish, white-headed old Premier.—
There is not a sparkle about him ; not
a tint of romance, not a trait of hero
ism. He is the fair representative of
England in her solstice ; of England
with no future before her except to
hold on as long as she can to her past.
On the left sits Air. Gladstone, with
strong features and a darkish look.—
He speaks with nerve, and, as it were,
sends out little bullets of speech—one
of which was the famous declaration
that the “the King of Naples lias e-
rected atheism iuto a system of gov-1
ernment.” Next is Air. Layard, a sol-I

But again : The papers above alluded
to have also permitted their correspondents
to assail Gov. Brown promiscuously and
generally, in relation to his call of the ex
tra session of the legislature, and his mes
sage to the same. Seeming to misunder
stand his message you all have charged
him with a disposition to ignore the Con
federate government, and to go in tor sepa
rate and independent State action, or nego
tiation, for obtaining peace. I understood
Gov. Brown as going in for no such thing,
and many others entertained the same view
as to his message. And yet, when the
Governor, in a subsequent and short let
ter (I allude to his letter to Gen. Colston,) ]
more distinctly enumerates his position, t
which cannot be objected to by any one, j
neither of your papers would or hare publish
ed Ins letter. Is this right or fair? As
patriots, (not as party men.) I did suppose
all would be glad to publish a letter Irom
the Governor, showing that he was misun
derstood, and that he occupied no such
obnoxious ground as was attributed to
him. But from some cause (oversight I
hope) neither the “Telegraph” or “Re
corder” published the letter, and the
“Times” only published a short paragraph,
which it admitted put the Governor ‘right,’
Ac.
Again, for opposing the suspension of
the writ of Habeas Corpus, Gov. Brown
and the legislature of Georgia, have been
censured most severely by you three—they
have been charged with a disposition to
“clog the government” “opposition to
President Davis,” a “desire for agitation,”
a “disposition to have parties,” &c., &C„
and yet when the Legislature of Mr. Da
vis’s own State, Alississippi, unanimously

Rights was gone—that there was no

that the North was the worst of des

if the suspension of said writ made
the North a despotism, what effect the
suspension has ou the South? Beau
tiful consistency, is it not ?
I see in the last Recorder, and copied
by all such lying Journals, a list of
exemptions in the State of- Georgia.
Now every man in the State that can
read, knows it to be false. As a sam
ple, they say that there are fifteen
thousand militia officers in the State,
subject to conscription, when in fact,
all the officers in the State will not
amount to the half of the figure. The
nffiitia officers in the State of Georgia
amon^t to about one thousand in num-
Ber. The magistrates to less than
that number ; in fact, the difference in
figures in the above, is a very fair
earn pie of its representations as a gener

Horseman had just asked him if the
government has heard the report that
a ship is going out from Liverpool to
capture the Alabama, and whether the
government will take the same care
to prevent that it has to prevent the
departure ot ships for the Confeder
acy.
Air. Layard rises and says lie has
only read something of the kind in
the newspapers. The paper in which
he had read it had asked whether it
was a Confederate dodge. In that
case, the gentleman [Mr. Horseman]
would know more of it than the gov
ernment. There was a drollery in
sition leader, Air. Disraeli, and bis imme
diate comrades, very rarely say anything
unfavorable to the .United States, and i
nothing at all in favor of the Confederacy j
or slavery. Lord Robert Cecil is a tali,
slender man, with a snarl in his voice and |
a very conceited manner—that is all. But
whence come these young boys, whom one
might naturally expect to see in dry goods !
shops, but not in the House of Commons ? \
They arejoung scions of nobility, have I
come in on money, and were elected by >
committees. They come here to loaf.
It sounds very big by the time it

it may be that Peacocke has some talent !
But I do know that Peacocke struck me !
as most appropriately named. A flaming I

But opposite tjtese sit the real represen

are not the representatives of the aristo

John Bright and Richard Cobden. And
here sits Peter Taylor, who has given late

Important order of General Meade—ar
rangement for holding on to Volunteers
whose time has expired.
The Washington Star, of Friday week,
has the following impoitant announcement,
showing that there is, and is to be, trouble
in the Army of the Potomac with the ex
pired enlistment men. It is because of
this that Burnside has gone to Grant,
instead of undertaking his independent
expedition up tbe Peninsula. The Star
says:
As the time is approaching when a num
ber of the regiments belonging to the Ar
my of the Potomac are to be discharged
from the military service of the United
States, by reason of the expiration of tho
term of service, for which they were mus
tered into said service, Alaj. Gen. Meade,
has announced to such troops that the War
Department has decided that the term of

yer, tbe great Roman Catholic cham
pion. Thin, pale, dark-eyed, sombre,
nervous and restless one understands
how 7 inquisitions existed when one
looks at him. He has the manners
of a scholar, and the whole air of a
who know how to speak. For the most
part, tbe speaking in the House is (in
manner) ludicrous. It certainly has tbe
recommendation of being_uostudied and to
the point ; but still it is not pleasant to
see every speaker stuck to the floor with
bis head swinging regularly to and fro as
if he were an inverted pendulum. Yet
this is the parliamentary 6t}U ; tbe Gov
ernment ministers generally oscillate so,
and nearly all the rest copy it, until it haB
become parliamentary. Gladstone .varies
it only by clutching the table opposite and
bending over it; and when be has become
rigid, he speaks as if in a voice, with faint
efforts of his head to give the usual oscila-
tion. Disraeli puts one arm out and takes
hold of something; but he does not swing
much, and is better than those about him.
Lord Robert Cecil’s speaking is execrable;
to Alilledgeville and let them hear from
him. Upon this invitation he came and
addressed them. Aud I would respectfully
ask, Mr. Editor, if any one could have de
livered a speech more free from partyism
or passion, or more free from anything like
excitiug bad or contentious feelings ?—Carolina. And is it right aud fair, Air.
