TeiidencicN of the Age.
In a notice of Judge I‘ierepont’s piquant
letter resigning his seat in New York, which
was recently published, the Philadelphia Bul
letin comments as follows on the characteris
tics, of our people :
The sketch of New York drawn Ly .Judge
Pierepont is swathing. The misfortune is
that it is true, and unfortunately it is too
nearly true of the whole country. “It is
easy to demonstrate that, in the yet diseov
ed world, there is not such another extrava
gant people, in proportion to its rml Health ,
as that which inhabits this city.” The one
idea is a frantic determination to get, in
some immediate way, the means of aj>pear
itnj to be rich.” The consequences of this
are appalling. Both women and men are
selling themselves for money. The extent
of this passion for the appearance of veatth
is terrific. The very cry of every soul and
the clutch of every arm is for money—mon
ey to be speut in extravagance. These words
are fearfully true: “Already the success
of a lawyer is determined by the money that
he makes ; already the success of a minister
of Christ is in ■oute degree estimated by the
salary which he receives.” The country is
mad on money, *ad money to be spent in
show. How Rfe we to support thirty mil
lions of noblemen and their families ?
All women are ladies, not in character, but
in dress and expense; all men in America
are lords in their style of thinking, and as!
far as they can make, borrow, or steal mon- (
ey, in their style #f living. That it is a mis
erable ambition is plain enough. Tbe remedy
is more obscure. But if one could even
make a suggestion towards improvement it
should be welcomed.
The thought we have for the thoughtful,
is this. The matter really lies very much ‘
where Judge Piwrepont has put it, if his idea
be carried out more comprehensively and
thoroughly. This country needs government
in the wildest sense. Our children are run
ning wild and becomraing precocious in vice
for want of family government. The father
and mother are indulgent and do not gov
ern. The result is demoralization from the
cradle. The fast young man is the worst
of all sights, and his parents have only them
selves to thank for it. Schools are not half
governed, and we are dosed ad nauseam with
moral suasion theories. The truth is, the
boys need to be well thrashed when they are
idle or impudent. Churches are afraid to
exercise, discipline, or get up theories that
it is useless. And the politics of the coun
try have been too long in the hands of par
tisans aud demagogues. Then we arc
threatened continually with a breaking up
of the General Government because this
party or faction or the other does not have
its way. There is no plan for producing the
telf-</ovemment without which a nation is a
mob of vicious men and women, except by
observing honorably the laws of God and
man. We must govern everywhere strongly j
and honestly, from the family up through
our City Councils to the Presidental chair,
or we are undone. If liberty but comes to
mean license among the people of the tre
mendous will and energy ot the Anglo-Sax
on race, the awfulness of our ruin will make
all past examples of national destruction
more child’s play.

Besides this force of fighting men, there
is a large number of teamsters, laborers,
sailors, marines and (quartermaster’s men,
which would swell Gen. Bragg’s command
to more than 7,000 meu. Though some of
the regiments are quite deficient in drill, I
do not believe that a more efficient body of
fighting men could be assembled in any part
of the world. They compose the very best
ela?3 of our Southern people, ardent, earnest
and resolute young u*en.

A Texas Story.
In the early history of the still flourish
ing city of Brownsville, on the Rio Graudc,
in Texas, and about the time of the with
drawal of the United States troops from the
country, at the close of the Mexican w T ar,
the inhabitants mostly consisted of that
class, of half renegades, half gamblers, us
ually found in one of our frontier towns,
with a small sprinkling of honest and some
times Christian citizens. Among the latter
was a very honest, upright merchant, known
as Uncle George Doaue.
Uncle George was a man of sterling worth
and unshaken integrity, and, withal, a devout
member of tbe Methodist Church, but un
fortunately possessed of a most fiery temper,
easily aroused —and when aroused —and in
combination with his well-knit frame, and
long, muscular arms —he was by no means
a pleasant subject to meet in a regular hand
to hand “setto.”
In Brownsville, at that time, was stationed
one of those Methodist missionaries to whose
superhuman exertions is owing so much of
the religious zeal which is now manifested
throughout the whole valley of the Rio
Grande. Our worthy brother, Mr. Cravens,
found a strong and energetic assistant, as
well as a warm and personal friend, in Un
cle George. During a short absence of
brother Cravens from Brownsville, Uncle
George had a serious difficulty, arising from
the shooting of a favorite dog of liia, by
bully known as Tom C , who has since
figured rather largely in Sonora and Califor
nia, and latterly was one of the sixty-five
men that followed the fortunes of Gen.
Walker in his first expedition against Nica
ragua.
Uncle George, in his wrath, sought out
the offender ami publicly chastised him.
Brother Cravens, when informed of the
occurrence, on his return, was heard to
make the following very pithy remark, which
has been a by-word in these “diggins” ever
since:
“ Brother George Doane, unrestrained by
Divine grace, can whip any man on the Rio
Grande.”
From Tennessee. —Extract from a letter
of a gentleman in Tennessee, dated Nash
ville, May 2, 18G1.
I will narrate to you a sight that I wit
nessed last evening in a large hall in this
city where as many as a thousand ladies meet
every day to prepare all sorts of clothing lor
the troops.
Among the number, I saw an old lady,
(84 years old) sister of the late 11. L. White,
and mother of Jno. Overton, who is worth
$5,000,000, carding lint for the service, and
has been at this work for several days.—
This indicates a spirit that cannot be sub
dued. This kind of spirit animates all our
people.
Death of Lieut. Storrs. — A correspon

of Portsmouth, Va., 14th inst., says :
Another sad accident, resulting in the
death of an estimable officer, occurred on

Opinion of John Q. Adams OH
Hilary CoerciOß of n State.
In 1839 Ex-Dresident John Q. Adams
delivered a lengthy address upon the princi
ples of our Government, before the Histori
cal Society of New’York. He took strong
ground against any attempt to hold States in
the Union by force, agai.tst tbeir consent.
We make the following extract from it:
“Nations acknowledge uo judge between
them up~n earth, and their governments,
from necessity, must, in their intercourse
with each other, decide when the failure of
one party to a contract to perform its obli
gations absolves the other from the recip
rocal fulfillment of his own. But this last
earthly power is not necessary to the free
dom or independence of the States, con
nected together by the immediate action of
the people, of whom they consist. To the
people alone is there reserved, as well the
dissolving as the constituent power and that
power, can be exercised by them only under
the tie of conscience binding them by the
retributive justice of Heaven.
“With these qualifications we may admit
the same right as invested in the people of
every State in the Union, with reference to
the General Government, which was exer
cised by the people of the United Colonies
with reference to the supreme head of the
British Empire, of which they formed a part;
and under these limitations, have the people
of each State in the Union a right to secede
from the Confederate Union itself?
“Thus stands the right But the indis
soluble link of union between the people of
the several States of this confederate Nation
is, after all, not in the right, but in the
heart. If the day should ever come (may
Heaven avert it) when the affections o. the
people of these States shall be alienated
from each other; the fraternal spirit shall
give way to cold indifference; cr collisions of
interests shall foster into hatred, the bands
of political association will not long hold
together parties no longer attracted by the
magnetism of conciliated interests and kind
ly sympathies, and far better will it be for
the people of disunited States to part in
friendship from each other than to be held
together by constraint. Then will be the
time for reverting to the precedent which
occurred at the formation and adoption of
the Constitution to form again a more per
fect Union, by dissolving that which could no
longer bind, and to leave the separated parts
to be united by the law of political gravita
tion, to the centre.”
Ail Act for KHiqiitg Additional Troop'.
AN ACT, to make further provision for the public
defence :
Whereas, war exists between the Uni
ted States and the Confederate States, and
whereas the public welfare may require the
reception of volunteer forces into the service
of the Confederate States, without the for
mality and delay of a call upon the respec
tive States. Therefore —euact, that the Presi
dent be, and he is hereby authorized to re
ceive into service such companies, battalions
or regiments, cither mounted or on foot, as
may tender themselves, and he may require,
without the delay of a formal call upon the
respective States, to serve for such time as
he may prescribe.
Sec. 2. Such volunteer forces as may be
accepted under this Act, except as herein
differently provided, shall be organized in
accordance with, and subject to all the pro
visions of the Act entitled “An Act to pro
vided for tbe Public Defence” and be enti
tled to all tbe allowances provided therein :
and when mustred into service, may be at
tached to such divisions, brigades or regi
ment as the President may direct, or order
ed upon such independent or detached ser
vice as the President may deem expedient:
Provided, however, that battalions and regi
ments may be enlisted from States not of
this Confederacy; and the President may
appoint all or any ot the Field Officers there
of.
Sec. 3. The President shall be authorized
to commission all officers entitled to com
missions of such volunteer forces as may be
received under the provisions of this Act. —
And upon the request of the officer com
manding sucli volunteer regiment, battalion
or company, the President may attach su
pernumerary officers to each company, de
tailed from the Regular Army for the pur
pose, and for such time as the President may
direct.

At a little place called Marion, in Smyth

brought it two miles and a half to offer to us as
we passed along ! true it w r as but a mite com

worthy of all commendation. Your corres

“° POl '‘ K ' ,a,,, '“ Mnd of the patriotic
mCB kLu arc *“* to their country’s ser
vtcc, for the sake of their couu.ry, a '„d not
for their own individual aggrandisement:
“ A man may show himself ‘every inch a
soldier,’ as well by attention to duties in
camp as by action in the field of battle.
Privations are to be expected. They are in
seperable from the soldiers life. That pri
vations will be met and borne cheerfully by
true meu, we entertain no doubt.’ The sit
uation of the officers is more responsible,
and more subject to anxiety and care than
that of the men. Every soldier should re
member that. That officer who is most rigid,
and at the same time just, to all, is really
toe liest triend which his command can
have.
“ A good officer will never consent, if ho
can possibly avoid it, that undisciplined
troops shall be placed in the field against
troops thoroughly trained and drilled/ The
Ihe Southern troops will not encounter
cowards. Our advantage is that we tight
upon our own soil and in a righteous cause.
To this advantage let us add thorough dis
cipline and strict subordination. With
these, and with military men—not mere j>ol
ittcuins and civilians —to command otir
forces, they will not only acquit themselves
well, but prove themselves invincible in the
noble cause they are commissioned to defend.
We have unity and concord among ourselves
—we have the men—we have the indomita

Carolinians; let us add to this, respect for
authority, cheerfulness in meeting and bear

only characterize the true soldier, and the
odds will be in our favor on every field.”
The Crops.
The wheat crop of Middle Tennessc is in
the most promising condition. It is growing
most luxuriantly, and the yield is likely to
be greater, per acre, than at any time since
the over fruitful season of 1855. Some of
it will be ready for the reaper in three weeks
from this date. We shall, therefore, in a
short time, have new flour and plenty of it,
at low prices; and our Not them “brethren”
will learn that we can be independent of
them even for our supplies and breadstuff?.
The oat crop is also growing finely, whilst
the old staple, Indian corn, looks a little yel
low from excess of rain. This, however,
will soon disapper under the genial rays of
the Sun with which we are blessed. There
ha3 been a greater breadth of land devoted
to these crops, so there may be no deficiency
in either. There is not so much interest
felt in cotton, yet enough of it will be pro
duced. What is lost from diminished quan
tity, will be made up in increased price.
The prospect for an abundant crop of
peaches, apples, and other fruits grown in
this latitude, was never finer.— Nashville
