These promiueut representatives of eastfin utul western journalism are thus compared by a correspondent ot the Cleveland Leader, writing from Louisville:—“While I was talking to Mr. Prentice, 1 compared him quietly with Horace Greeley. There is neither a great difference in their ages, nor in their period of usefulness. They come from opposite endo of New England; they chose the same political party, and for much of their lives supported the same idols. Prentice has had more popularity, as he had more geniality, and more genius. Greeley has had more influence, because he took'a more ad vanced position at the start, and by a mere methodical industry, he has built sonie monuments that will long sur vive him. The absurdities of Greeley’s life only make it interesting. It is a strong life, and he is a well-preserved man, a monument to temperance, f ru gality, and an adaptability to go to sleep anywhere. Mr. Prenticeis more of a human, comprehensive man, with surpassing versatilities, almost South ern affections, a patriotism that would die seven times for the Union, and never sicken at the smell of blood for its sake. Had he been more selfish and more methodical, he would have left in bis poems, stories, speeches, and essavs,a personal monument in every gentleman’s library. I felt in some way that Greeley should have sett 1 d in Louisville and Prentice in New York. On the border of Kentucky, Horace would have fought everything in the majority, linked hands with Cassius! Clay, and carried the anti-slavery ques-! tioii into Tennessee and Georgia, and i either have been hanged to his edito-i rial door-post, or have confined the I war to a poor white’s insurrection. He would have introduced prizestraw- berrtes in place of the cotton plant, and learned to shoot a pistol in the Kentucky Legislature. Prentice would have been the most courtly of metro-! politan editors, Mayor of New York, chosen to receive the Prince of Wales, and lie would have largely assisted to give that city a social, polite, and cosmopolitan fame abroad and in the inierior. which its newspaper press has never done.”—Home Journal. THK WlkDOJl OF TRAVEL. Emerson says that “travel is the fool’s paradise.” An American, just commenting the tour of Europe, thus records the common experience in the Eternal City:—A traveler, I suppose, may confess himself disappointed in a place without meaning any disrespect to it, or intending to wound the sensi bilities of its admires; and so I acknowl edge that famous Rome failed to come up to my expectations. Rome not to blame lor this, but I, who expected too much,and therein was weak. Warri ors and poets, saints and sages, orators gentle-mannered, bright-eyed old gen tleman, at:d looks like a minister of the gospel. His gray hair is long and thin, and he wears a short, white beard, but no mustache. His conver sation is original, ami full of instruc tion, humor, and point, and, like most fine talkers, he exercises his gifts freely for the gratification of Lis visitors. He slashes right and left in his criticism of the old masters of sculpture, and made us laugh heartily as he pointed out the exaggerations and imperfections of Canova, Michael Angelo, and the older i and mightier dead. Notwithstanding j his exalted estimate of the Venus de ! Medici, he says that she looks near sighted; that her ankles are too large and that her head is so ridiculously small, that no woman with such a cra nium would have sense enough to keep out of the fire. Hart’s comment on this was—‘She didn’t have sense enough to keep out of the fire, but with all her faults, no living sculptor lias equalled her.’ “In the studio of Mr. Powers we saw his sixth ‘Greek Slave,’ besides many other beatiful w orks. He is now engaged upon a new work, which he cals ‘The Last of the Tribes.’ It is auJndiau woman flying westward, ber hpad turned back over her shoulder. The figure is full of motion, and, though only 7 in the plaster yet* arid that not finished, it promises to bt 1 a rare beau ty, which will be an honor to his great 1 name, and make his country still 1 prouder of him than it is. Powers is j said to be wealthy, and he gets famous prices for his works. “From the studio of Mr. Powers we went to pay our respects to our great Kentucky sculptor. Mr. Hart is en tirely a self-made man, and was twen ty-four years cld when he saw his first bust, at a wax-figure show or some such exhibition, in Cincinnati. When a very small boy, his chief amusements were painting on shingles with the i juice of grapes and pokeberries, and j making and burning clay images of ! men, squirrels, and other familiar crea- ! tures. lie is now engaged upou a ! statue which he calls * Tne Triumph : of Woman. ’ It is, lie says, the result j of forty years study, and the Italian. | English ami American sculptors all award it the highest praise. Mr. Hart has beeu engaged upon the clay model for three years, and in a year and half hopes to unveil the marble statue in Louisville. He regards it as the great work of Lis life. '1 ha group represents the purity of the bride, and her angel ic goodness, were celebrated far and wide throughout the empire. She was said to have the smile of Hebe with the glauce of a Juno—a very goddess. She had a shapely head, which was crowned with abundant blonde tressi her eyes were blue, her lips Vermil lion. and her teeth of exquisite regu larity and whiteness, face full of ex pression, a glance at once dignified and gentle, and a voice, replete with melody, united to an ardent soul and devoted heart; while the pride of her race was tempered by the wish to please and a certain happiness in ap pearing beautiful. Even the dissolute old King Louis XV. was inspired by her with respect, and reverenced her the more that she preferred the retire ment of Trianon to the corruption ol his court. It was only after she be- • arrie a mother—first of a daughter, who was called Madame Royale, and subsequently of a boy, the unfortunate Louis XVII., that she actually assert ed hyself as queen and took part in State affairs. But the extravagance of previous reigns, and the utter want of judgment and firmness on the part her hair and bound her hands. The queen had but two dresses, one white, the other black. She wore the latter when she was sentenced, and dressed in white for her execution. Louis XVI had been allowed a carriage, but Marie Antoinette was driven to her death in a cart. She was taken through the most populous streets for an hour and a half, and was constantly subjected to insult and vituperation. When she reached the foot of the scaffold, she made a brief prayer, turned a 1 st glance of farewell to her children in the temple, and ascended the steps ot the guillotine; in doing so she inad vertently trod upon the foot of het Ht asked.

It was then that her fascinations, her desire to please, her artlessness and ignorance of the world, were used by -the mal contents as weapons against her; it was then that the people thought of her as the “Austrian,” and not as the wife of their present and the mother of their future sovereigns. When the Revolution first declared itself, Marie Antoinette refused all offers of protection for herself alike from her brothers and others desirous of providing for her safety , her inva riable reply was: “I will die at the feet of the king and surrounded by my children.” Alas ! even this poor con- as follows:— Fellow Citizens: It is with feelings of no ordinary satisfaction that I intro duce to you, this evening, a gentleman whose reputation is not confined by the limits of his State, or of tiie Uni ted States, but whose name is known and respected in this and in foreign lands ns the able and eloquent defend er of the Constitution of the United States.

St. Peter’s for its erection, required one hundred and seventy-six years, and, to perfect the structure, demand ed an addition hundred and seventy- four years. Its cost was fifty million dollars in gold, and, to keep it in re pair, requires an annual expenditure j uf twenty thousand dollars. Of its ! vast dimensions, perhaps the best idea is conveyed by the statement that it covers eight acres of ground. To the top of the dome is four hundred and forty-eight feet, and in approaching Rome, long before any other structure about the city strikes the eye, this dome, like a great ball, is seen tower ing in the air. This inhuman act was but the pre lude to other iniquities. On tlie night ot the 2d of August following, the queen was aroused by orders tor her removal to the prison of the Concer- gerie. Without a word she listened to the reading of the order, and did not murmur at being forced to dress h-*r8 If before her tyrants. They in sisted on searching her pockets, which she at once submitted to their scruti ny ; then making up a parcel of the scanty clothing remaining to her, she embraced her daughter and sister—it was a last farewell. sdie was confined in a narrow, damp dungeon in the Conciergerie, and she, the queen of the most powerful mon archy in the world, slept on a wretch ed bed, with only a table and two chain bottom chairs for furniture, and with scarcely a change of clothing. On the 14th of October, Marie An toinette was arraigned for trial. She was poorly and shabbily dressed, but she was still every inch a queen. Her enemies bad relied on the effect of misery and privations upon her, but although these had changed her ap pearance sadly, they had not subdued her nature, and she stood before them unaltered in her dignity and firmness. The queen condescended to defend herself against many of the accusa tions, but some charges were too in famous to admit of notice. She asked peace hi our dwellings? That peace which is the result of love—which springs from mutual respect and for bearance—which is associated with principle—which is the consequence of the fear of God—which is identi fied with filial and unwavering trust in him. A tranquil, happy home is the very emblem of Heaven. American contineut than the name of the distinguished son of the West, Hon. James R.

Grant, that many had forgotten. When he was in Kentucky, at the instance of some “loyal” trafficker in cotton per mits. Grant issued an order by which the Israelites living in Paducah, (some t hirty respectable families.) were driv en from their homes and business, by virtue of this order of Gen. Grant, only having the short notice of four and twenty hours; that the Jewish women and children of that city were expelied under that order; that there wus not a Jew left, man, woman or child, except two women who were prostrate on beds of sickness. The evidence set forth, and attested by some twelve or fourteen of the most respectable Union citizens of the city of Paducah, among others the surveyor of the port, was that those Jews at Paducah had at no time beeu engaged in trade within the active line of Gen. Grant, that they had all the time been engaged in legit imate business at their homes, and that there was but one Jew, a resident of Paducah, who had gone out of the State into the cotton region, and that one was not at home, and consequent ly was not expelled from his residence Let us Stand Together.—There is only one question.

Bv order of Major General Meade. R. C. Drum, Ass’t Adj’tGen. A Gratifying Assurance.—We are enabled to state upon authority that deserves full credit, that the infamous cheat practiced opon the people of Georgia last fall in the election of del egates fo the Atlanta Convention, will not be repeated at the coming election, on the 20rn of April. Gen. Meade is de termined, and has so stated; that w« shall have fair piny, emphatically. He has resolved that the disgraceful scenes that characterized the vote for dele gates to the Convention, shall not be repeated, and that, so far as he has the power, the voice of the people shall be heard. We say this iu justice to him, and for the benefit of all who are hang ing back, *aud undecided whether or not to make a last effort to save their State. We would especially commend thia fact to those of our readers who may uot have registered. The registry books will be re-opened before the election, and vve reiterate, with added emphasis, and with ail the earnestness and solemnity that the rave exigency inspires, that it is the duty of every good citizen to register when the op portunity offers. Whether successful or not—and tve have little doubt our self of the result—the assurance from the highest authority is given that every vote will count. Let no man hesitate—let no man refuse to put himself in a position to use the weapon the enemy offers to his hand. To reg ister aud vote is a duty that no good citizen has a right to evade, much less refuse to perform.—Jour. $ Ales, A Centre Shot.—Hon. George W. Morgan, member of Congress from Ohio, delivered an excellent speech on impeachment, on tne sJ9lh ult. We quote the following pithy and incisive paragraph. Every senteuce is a centre shot: Prefer articles of impeachment against the Chief Magistrate of the Republic, and for what? Has he ar rested and imprisoned citizens without trial and without defense? If he has, then I will vote for the articles of im peachment. Has he struck down the liberty of the press '? If he has, then I will vote for the articles of impeach ment. Has he denied to ten States of the Uniou their rightful representation in Congress ?
