Our Interview In the Grave-Yard. T O N Kli Tj I E. The cun was dying on the hills, And cummer zephyrs mild and sweet, Wore playing coolly with thy hair, Like joyous erodes when lovers meet. The mellowy rays of setting sun, And silver light of rising star In richest tracery glided o’er The wavy woods and cloudlets fur. r ihe. lovely twilight’s tinted shades \\ ere falling softly from the skies, And blending sweetly with the breath Os fragrant winds and tender sighs. An Eden scene ! What fate swept o’er The mystii hour of sunset beams, And, like a dark regardless hand, Broke rudely through my tlowery dreams! ’Twas such an hour, ’tw&s such a scene, When trusting love our hearts enwreathed With garlands of the purest hopes, That ever fondest spirits breathed. We sat within the stilly shades That rested on the gloom of graves. And felt the magic power that gives The confidence affection craves. Though Time had drawn the lengths of years, Finer I had parted last from thee, ct I rejoice to find thee still The same in love and faith to me. The soul that brightened to the touch Os dearest memories of the past Shown from the eye that mystic brow’ In beams of joy toe sweet to last. We whispered vows our childish lips In other days had spoke in part; Which faith, the fountain-seal of love llad kept unhurt by wordly art. Within the solemn stillness, there We sat to sweetest converse given, And guardian angels hovering near P.ore every plighted oath to heaven. We left the darkening world of tombs, And though ’tw as long ago, the hour, The place and every word we spoke, Impressed inv heart with lasting power. ALPIIUS. Home, August Ist, ISCO. m 2: s g m m i & jl g?o [From tlie Richmond Dispatch.] Dentil of Joseph Galea. ! The telegraph yesterday commnuicated to the pub lic the sad intelligence of tha vs -Funvpn Gales. ti>-> ttOie editor of the National Intel ligencer, the Nestor of the American Press. The National Intelligencer was first established in 1800, by Samuel Harrison Smith. Mr. Gales, (who was a native of Sheffield, England,) and w hose family settled in North Carolina, came to Washington in 1807, at which time he became con nected with the Intelligencer as Congressional re reporter. At a subsequent period, he purchased the establishment of llr. Smith, and some years after, his partner, Mr. Seaton, who survives him. i became a-sociated with Mr. Gales. In stature Mr. j Gales was about five feet nine, very stout, with I hair which in his prime was black, and one of the ! most brilliant luminous sparkling dark eyes, flash ing and teeming with thought, animation and be i nevolence. In social intercourse, he was one of j j the most refined and cordial of gentlemen, his j conversation repletcjwith the blended charms of good sense, good manners and geniality of soul. Os late years his right hand has suffered greatly ! from a neuralgic affection, which compelled him to employ an amanuensis. Such was the man in his external appearance and deportment, who has stood undeniably at the head of the American Press for the last fifty years. What kind of a paper the National Intelligen cer has been, under the editorship of Joseph Gales, we need not say to the American public. In its uniform dignity, and the calm and dispassionate manner in which it discussed the most exciting and vital quetions of national interest, it bad not its equal in the world. We say this deliberately, and without excepting the English press, for there is no paper in London, the Timet included, which bore in its editorial columns such pervading marks of the gentleman as the National Intelligencer. — j Its page s might be searched from the beginning to the end, from its Alpha to its Omega, from its fteru-Mis to its Ucvclationa, for a single personali ty, for a solitary slang phrase, for one discourte ous remark or reflection; for one thought or line, which, “dying,’’ its editor would “wish to blot.”— And yet ?o well defined and energetic were its ! enunciations upon all subjects, tlmt, when the Bri- I tish captured .Washington, they conferred upon | the office of the National letelligencer the signal • honor of devoting it to the same vandal destruc tion which they visited upon the Capitol and pub lic buildings, on account of its conspicuous and pre-eminent advocacy of the principles and policy of the war administration. The proudest and most ciiivalric peer in Parliament could not more care fully observe tbc proprieties of debate, than this hightoned, courteous and manly journal. The readers of the Intelligencer are almost universally men of education, and intelligence, and of high political and social influence. It was once remark ed by a wit that if a man were found dead in the road and no one knew anything about him, yet if a copy of the National Intelligencer were found • in bis pocket, it would be printa facie evidence that he was a gentleman. But Joseph Gales was more than a great editor. He was one of the first statesman of the land, and has for many years shared the counsels and the respect of the leaders of all parties. If he has not been seen the rostrum, he has been always at the helm, a Pahnurus, whose steady hand ever guided the ship in a safe channel, and whose eye was as bright as the stars, and lost none of its radiance when clouds covered the skies. Clay, Webster, Crittenden, the grand old leaders of the Whig party, in former days, rarely held a council of consultation of which Joseph Gales was not a prominent and respected member, llis solid judg ment and almost infallible wisdom commanded their profonndest respect and confidence. Por many years has the Natieenal Intelligencer been a vast armory, from which Whig chieftains and Con gressmen have furnished themselves with ideas, facts, and arguments, to sustain their cause in Congress and before the country. If ever, during its whole existence, that paper has taken a posi tion, which, however unpopular at the time, was not afterwards sustained by the enlightened public sentiment of the American people, we confess we do not remember it. In benevolence of character, this truly great man was as eminent as in his rare intellectual qual ities. A more compassionate heart never beat; a more liberal hand was never opened to the appeals of suffering humanity. Probably there is not a State in the Union where members of the craft do not relate some characteristic anecdote of his lav ish generosity. Many a poor printer, who has reached Washington in want and suffering, has had reason to bless his noble name ; and there were superannuated compositors, no longer able to work, to whom he dispensed the week's wages on Fatur dav as regularly as if they had stood every day at the case ? When such a man dies, humamry loses a bene factor, society an ornament, and the Press its most elevated and dignified representative in Christen dom. These are not words of exaggeration, for we know no press in Europe which has been as trulv independent, as conscieneious as courteous as the National Intelligencer. It is the model po litical journal of the world, and all we can ask for it hereafter is that the mantle of Gales may fall upon his successor. Whilst the admirable Seaton lives, we have no fears that it. will descend from its hisrh pedestal. Let us hope that the influences which gave it its present tone, will descend from generation to generation, so that the Press of America may alwavs have in their capital an ex ample worthy of universal imitation an 4 respect. Currespondenee of the New York Herald. Ufcnrj’ A. Wise nl Home in Prlurex* Antic <*>lllll y. Gov. V Rp, .since the expiration of his term in office ns Gov. of Virginia, ltss settled in Pri.icess Anttc county, in thR State. Ilia residenceia about i seven miles trom Norfolk, by the regular route, : but not more than four in a direct line. We left 1 here about five o’clock this afternoon, and thoufrh the day was extremely hot, the route was so well shaded as to diminish very materily the inconven •pncCH which would otheiwiso result to its. About six irtiles from the city we entered by a wooden 4 4ate, and proceeded in the direction of the gov ernor’s hottgo along a straight avenue, lined on either side with a crop of the most promising, and evidently the best cultivated, corn and oats in the j country. \Y e encountered some 150 acres of the 1 former, and about 120 acres of the latter, all culti- ! Yu tod ntuier his own immediate superintendence, 1 ind exhibiting in their rich and well ordered uni form growth the infaliable indications of skillful husbanding. Relore proceeding a third of the dis tance from the gate to the governor’s residence, the dar.vey diiver called out to those in the car riage, “.Massa Ilcnery is coming!” Kverv darkcv in this reigion calls him by that name. I put my head out of the window of the carriage, and true enough, 44 Massa Ilenery” was coming. Rut in what a trim ! 1 never knew him to dress well.— U henever he does make auy appearance it is all confined to the fixing of a scarf round his neck, which is fastened with a plain gold brestpin across Ins bosom. 1 never could be persuaded that be performed this branch of the toilet himself. It re quired a little more care and taste than I believe Hencry A. \\ ise would be willing to bestow upon matters of dress. Rut in this instance he was burdened with no such thing as a scarf or neck-tie, nor even vest. Ilis whole dress consisted of a Panama hat, and that by no means new; a plain white linen coat, white’ “ Russian duck” panta loons folded up at the bottom, and a pair of shoes in perfect keeping with the other portions of his dress. He had with him, leaning on his left arm, an axe which gave him peculiarly the appearance of a backwoodsman who was ready for anything, from a bear to a highwayman. Everybody who has sccu governor Wise will say at least that he is determined: but in this instance, he exhibited in his dress and general outline, every element that could heighten this expression. On seeing the carriage approach, he hurried to wards if, and recognizing your correspondent, he received him with all the kindness and civility peculiar to Wise at home. I questioned him as to his motive in carrying the axe and he answered that be carried it to kill snakes, an Indian, if by chance he should come this ‘way, and for many other purposes too numerous to mention. At ouce an invitation was kindly extended towards all in the carriage to accompany him to his house, which was about three quarters of a mile distant. Several invitations were offered to him to take a seat injthe carriage, but to no purpose, as he seem ed to prefer walking. The house is in a few yards of Elizabeth river, upon which the city of Norfolk is located, naviga ble for vessels of 4(>o or 500 tons, up to the gov ernor’s farm. Under the skill and the management of such a man as the governor's it will scon be come a charming place. To say that your correspondent and his com panions were treated well by the governor, is to state what every one familiar with his character in the domestic circle knows him to proverbial for.— Speak of ail your “01. l Virginia gentlemen,” but Gov. Wise is the most perfect specimen of that character probably extant. Not one word about politics if you don’t question him. Sautter* on Uiicfiaitan. Mr. G. N. Sanders, late Navy Agent of the port of New York, and recently dismissed from office , for political contumacy, has written a long letter to Mr. Ruehanan, which contains more pepper than oil, and which will hardly be agreeable to the palate of the “sage” of the White House. Here is a specimen of the style of Mr. S.’s epistle: Your cumulative infidelity to the country, which has brought us to our present disintegrating condi tion, was shadowed forth in the beginning of your Administration bv base ingratitude to individuals. ! Step by step, friend after friend was sacrificed.— The fact of a previous obligation chilled you ; great service made any one odious. A President should have no animosities. Y’ou are governed only by j hour hates; affection you have none. But two j classes have any hold upon you—those who hail opposed and reviled and cowed you, and the sup- : pie parasitica who fawn upon you. Yet, oven these ; j cannot be devoted if they would, l’or the course j which is Pettlc 1 on to-day is changed by your vacilating mind to-morrow, and on the tnonow, . the zig-/.ig programme is changed again. You j 1 even endeavor to pursue two opposite courses at once. Witness your open instructions to Gov. Walker, and your private Instructions to the Sur veyor General, and other officials iu Kausas. Wit ness your Hite declaration : 44 Therefore, every Democrat 13 at perfect liberty to vote as be thinks proper and your secret circular ordering the dis missal of every office-holder in favor of Douglas. Witness your contradictory declaration in regaid to the rights of naturalized citizens abroad. Con tradiction upon contradiction! Not only the political, but the social atmosphere of Washington is poisoned by the upas of your iu ilnonce. Such is your pernicious course, that the \\ hitc House is made uncomfortable for visitors by the obtrusion of vicious politics into your parlors. ’ It should be the patriotic pride of every Adminis tration to make Washington acentre of intellectual brilliancy. Rut, instead of communiug with the 1 best minds of the country, and informing yourself freshly from its different sections, you make the j recesses of the Presidential mansion labyrinths of espionage, where the Chief Magistrate sits greedliy receiving petty reports of defection among bis en slaved officeholders. The wisest and most honored i men of the country avoid Washington as a inoral pest house. The Hoy l*re:tcler ol Lontiana. Mark Hoatner Chapman is now in his fourteenth year. Ue was born in Clinton, Lousiana, where his parents still reside. About two years ago he was received in the Church. Very soon after this he commencced instructing his father’s servants on the afternoon of every Sabbath. Ilia custom was to read a chapter and comment upon it, having first closely studied the chapter, consulting Ben son, Clark and Wesley on every passage. He nt length began, says a writer to the Mem phis Advocate, to speak in the love-feasts and class meetings ; then to pray in the public congregation. His appearance is that of the merest boy, and he seems wholly unconscious of any superior gifts or attainments. He now preaches regularly every Sabbath at his father’s place, near town. His pa rents have refused to allow him to enter the pulpit and supply the place of the regular minister on the Sabbath, although he is often solicited to do so.— lie does nothing without permission from, his pa rents. lie attends school and joins in all the amuse ments of the boys of his own age; he is a mere child everywhere save when preaching. On last Sabbath I sat under his ministry, it ml have seldom lieeti more edified and delighted with a sermon.— His style is chaste, his words fitly and happily cho sen. The nicest critic would not detect a gram matical His manner is earnest, and his pa thetic appeals reach all hearts. Occasionally his feelings overwhelm him, and he gives way to lloods of tears. The most gifted lawyers, and doctors, and di vines have heard him with astonishment and de light, I confess that it is most wonderful, and to me incomprehensible. When 1 heard him, he preached from the text, 44 How long halt ye between two opin ions?” He preached from notes, sometimes seem ing to forget that his notes were before him.— His subject was arranged with perfect system, ami most logically treated. When through with his sermon, he closed the Book and gave a brief and touching exhortation, under which I could, with others, hut weep. His public addresses published have attracted much attention, and should he live, he must, iu his onward course, leave a broad wake on the tide of morals. Such is the character of the “ Roy Preacher” whose wonderful precocity is without a pa raid. —New Orleans Crescent. Governor Letcher’s ’‘Opinion.”— A Washington correspondent of the New Y’ork Express gives the following cheering aud, we think, reliable intelli gence : “ Gov. John Letcher, of Va., has written to friend in this city, that in his opinion John R. 11 will carry Virginia, and that it will bo useless to make an effort to pr.'vent it. Y’ou may rely on this. “The spirit of 1840 is up in the South. Mr. Gilmer writes in fine spirits about North Carolina. So does Mr. Vance, who represents Clingman’s oid district.

It is important because it is universal, and because the education it bestows being woven in with the : woof of childhood, gives form and color to the \ whoie texture ot life. There are few who can re* |CCive the honors of a college, but all are graduates ;ol the hearth. The learning of the university j may fade from the recollection ; its classic lore may j moulder in halls of memory; but the simple les [sons of home, enambled upon the heart of child | hood, defy the rust of years, and outlive the more ; mature but iess vivid pictures of after days. ■ >o deep, so lasting,indeed, are the impressions of I early life, that you often see a man in the imbecili- I ty ot age holding fresh in his recollection the events j°t childhood, while all the wide space between j th:U uml the present hour is a blasted and forgot , ten waste. ou have perchance seen an old and Jiaif obliterated portrait, and in the attempt to have it cleansed and restored, you may have seen jit fade away, while a brighter and - more perfect picture, painted beneath, is revealed to view.— (This portrait, first drawn upon the canvas, is no inapt illustration of youth ; and though it may be j concealed by some after design, still the oii'ginal j traits will shine through tiie outward picture, giv ing it tone while fresh, and surviving it in decay. Such is the fireside—the great institution fur nished by Providence for the education of loan. Mi:. Dallas and the Nkgro.— The fourteenth session of the International Statistical Congress opened in London on the lfith. Delegates from all {tarts of the world were present. The repre sentatives of the Lnited States were Judge Long street and Mr. Lawrence. Mr. Dallas was also ipicsent in the midst of numerous distinguished j guests. -At the preliminary meeting Mr. Milliter j Gibson welcomed the Congress in the name of the j British Government. Prince Albert, President of i the Congress, delivered an appropriate inaugural | address. After the address the following little in cident oceured : Lord Brougham, seeing the Ainericau Minister present, said he hoped Mr’ Dal i las would forgive him for reminding him that there I was a negro present as a member of tbe Congress, j Tiiis gave rise to loud laughter and cheering. Mr. Dallas made no sign in response, but the uegro in question, Delaney, arose and returned thanks for the kind allusion which had been made to him, and assured all present that he, too, was a man.— This was greeted with renewed cheering from all parts of the Hall. Madison and Griffin Railroad.— The engi nerra, as has been previously announced, are now engaged in a survey of the route for the propo. ed railroad from this point to Griffin. As uu evi dence of progress and prospective success, we t.re permitted to make an abstract from a letter wiit ten by one of the assistant engineers to a gentle man’in this place : Ihe writer says that they have proceeded with little difficulty, and procured a very good line from Madison to the distance of eight miles be yond Monticello, on the route to Indian Springs. The appearance of the country ahead indicates a good crossing over the Ocimilgee. The people along the line are enthusiastic in favor of the road, and were it not for the effects of tbe severe drought, would subscribe money enough to build jit without calling- on the parties; and, as it is, they will only need a little assistance. —MacU ‘on | Visitor. There is an elasticity in the human mind capable of bearing much, but which will not show itrelf uutil a certain weight of affliction be put upon it; its powers may be compared to those vehicles whose springs are so contrived that they get on smoothly enough when loaded, but jolt confound edly when they have nothing to bear. Members of Congress Engaging in Useful Occupations. —The Rev. Mr. McTveire, editor of the Nashville Christian Advocate, in giving a very favorable account of the late commencTßientof the East Alabama College at Auburn, says : The Hon. J. F. Dowdell, whose Congressional career has been so honoiable to himself and—not to Lis party, but—the people of Alabama, has withdrawn from politics in the midst of a success ful career, and, by tbe unanimous vote of the trustees, becomes a member of the faculty as Pro fessor of Political Economy and Belles-letters.— Few men have passed the ordeal cf Washington City life with u moral character so pure and influ ential. At the Capitol of the nation he was ever a church-going, prayer-meeting, class-meeting Meth odist. It is a sign of the times that such men see that they can best serve their generation by sitv ing the Church in the position he now takes. It will be remembered that another politician— the lion. L. Q. C Lamar, of Mississippi, has just resigned Lis seat in Congress, to take the chair of Ethics and Metaphysics in the University of ihat Sta:c, at Oxford. Blondjn’s Last Pfreokmanct —Tim Buffalo Commercial Advertiser thus describes the last j-er formance of the little French acrobat at Niagara Falls: In a few minutes, the little man was seen coin ing towards America, attaohed to a heavy lumber ing chair. When about a third of the way out, he placed the chair upon the rope and seated him self ihereon, crossed his legs, and gazed around with apparent unconcern. lie then adjusted two legs of the chair on the cable, and again seated himself. Coming nearer to the American shore, he again stopped and seated himself; and then got up and stood in the chair. When we consider that this is done on n single cable stretched at a height ol more than two hundred ? > over one ol the most fearful chasm: v.c>i torrents iu the world, it seems absolutely miraculous.
