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.

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 dent of the liiebmand Dispatch , under date of Portsmouth, Va., 14th inst., says : Another sad accident, resulting in the death of an estimable officer, occurred on Sunday night, near Norfolk. Lieut. Rich ard Henry Storrs,of the Third Alabama Re giment, was returning to his camp from the city about 9P. M. He xvas hailed by the sentinel, whose gun was sceidentially dis charged, and in au hour or so the victim was a corpse. He was from etumka, Ala bama. The same letter has the following t Henry C.

Our Home Guards and a large number of citizens Attended she rem&iua tQtimrlwt mtiogv 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.

A Daughter ot Virginia. A member of the Montgomery (Ala.) Blues, writing from Lynchburg, Va., and reporting the incidents of the journey to Virginia says : At a little place called Marion, in Smyth County, we met with a little incident that convinced us that we were indeed within the borders of the Old Dominion, whose hospi tality has always been her proudest boast.— A lady who lives near by, having beard that we would pass by on that day, prepared a quantity of provisions for us, and then brought it two miles and a half to offer to us as we passed along ! true it w r as but a mite com pared to our wants, but it evinced a gener osity and a patriotic hospitality, such as is worthy of all commendation. Your corres pondent inquired tbe name of the fair donor —for fair she certainly was —and was told that it was Mrs. Mary G. Buchanan.

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 ble courage which is the birth right of North Carolinians; let us add to this, respect for authority, cheerfulness in meeting and bear ing privations, and such discipline as can 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 Patriot , 10 th.

A Noble Patriot. —Among all the con tributions actually made to the cause of the South, or those offered to bo made, we have seen none equal in liberality and devotion, to the proposal of our worthy and much res pected fellow citizen, Dr. Benjamin A. White, whose means are ample to accomplish much good for his country, in the following note. “I am willing to appropriate, if necessary, for the success of the great struggle in which we are now engaged with the Government of the United States, the whole of my in come beyond that which may be required for the support of my family, for ail future; and if that should be insufficient, any part or the whole of my property, together with any personal services which it may be in my power to perform. BENJ. A. WHITE.
