Stating psjmttf. AUGUST A, QA: Tuesday Evening, Jan.*6,lß3*. The Talkers amt lb* Writers. We hare, say* an exchange, an abun dance of talking men ; they are to be found everywhere, in our Churches, our public halls, onr lecture rooms and our legislatures. Wind, next to brass, Is the power of to-day. Talkers, think ing themselves orators, take up the val uable time of the people, thrusting their crude and ill-digested notions upon their attention. Spouting men abound everywhere. The tongue has indeed become an nnruly member. No one thinks anybody else much of a fel low, unless he can talk him down. It has rorne to such a joss, that he who can shout the loudest and the longest is esteemed the possessor of the greatest amount of talent. Now there ought to !>e a radical change in this matter. We want fewer talkers, spouters, ranters, orators, ami tnen of wind, and more writers, au thors, and men of the pen Bacon says that writing makes the exact man : and that is true enough. Hence to think with a pen in one's hand, is to think much more to the purjiose than with the clapper of the mouth beating nois ly against its roof. There are too few good wviterß. Few enough know how to prepare a readable, or even a de. cent, communication for the press, as many a bothered editor can testify And it is the greater shame still, that so few can express themselves properly, and exactly as they mean, in an epistle either of business or friendship. A good writer is not yet appreciated in this country as he will he presently. The press grows more powerful contin ually. Its influence is winged, reaching to the farther corners of the land.— Hence a man can do more with his pen, a thousand times, than he can with his tongue ; for the spoken word, however eloquent and apt, falls lifeless io the ground, except it be reproduced for the ! millions to read afterwards. What we suggest to our restless and ambitious young men, therefore, is that instead of all trying to got into the Leg islature, and afterwards iuto Congress, by inflicting their verbiage on a patient and long-suffering community, a part of them turn their attention to the art of writing. It takes more labor, more steady persistence, more downright, silent study, and more timr, than is re quired to become merely a showy talk er ; but it will be found to pay better at the last. Not pecuniarily, but intrinsi cally. It will furnish the deeper satis faction. It offers the most delightful compensations. It promotes the most lasting friendships, and calls out the warmest affections A speaker is not, necessarily good because he can fly a long time ; only a few are really first rate, and that will always be the rule. ; It would please us to find that men of j stuff were more of them joining the | ranks of the professional writers ; for : where a person may make hut an in different, speaker, it is raoro than possi ble for him to become a ready and an impressive writer. There are scribblers enough ; we are asking only for more real writers: »*♦'> The Hon* Henry Winter Davis, This gentleman is being roasted on that red hot gridiron, the press, for some very ill-tempered and ill-consider ed denunciations he lately utterred in , Congress against it. As the New York ; Courier says: “He aired his contempt for the press in a very Haunting style.”— , He said, amongst other things : “Now. sir tliere is no man who holds the comments of the political press of! ’ the country in more utter contempt than I do. ” I stand in terror of no press. , nor any combination of them. I hold j. their shameless libels in such utter con-1 tempt that, if they should point at me i' even personally their imputations, I I should take no notice of them, except j to carry them before a Grand Jury, on | an indictment for the libel they may ; ( have promulgated. Sir, when charges i are made simply through the newspa- ( per press, Ido not bold it worthy the dignity of this House to make them the ' ground of an investigation. Sir, there i is no press which I recognize anywhere within the limits of the United States, 1 whose unsupported charge within its 1 editorial columns can even put me up on my defence.” This talk, says the Richmond Dis- i patch, sounds more like insanity than ( malignity. How reckless, how misera bly a slave to passion and bitter hate must the memlier from Maryland be, to utter, with “sound mind and disposing memory," such an unqualified and sweeping denunciation of a profession that is graced by some men, tholatchet of whose shoes he is hardly worthy to j unloose! The Alexandria Sentinel, which so of ten savs, in its quiet and sensible way, a very good thing, hit* off the Congress man with the following anecdote:— “When W«. Penn was Governor of Pennsylvania, in company with a friend , he took shelter from a storm ia the shop of a comb maker. The man was a vio lent, foul-speaking man, and conducted himself with such impropriety res to draw upon him a rebuke. He was very indignant, and with an air of great con sequence, informed his visitors that surely they did not know who he was. ■/am a justice of the peace F said he. The comrade of the Governor quietly re marked, as he pointed to Push, ‘mv frieud makes such things as thee.’ If Mr. Davis has cat hit teeth, he will be able to make the application and to profit by it.” . r The retort is capital, and ought to pierce the epidermis of the member, as much 03 he boasts of its thickness. We will only add, that we hope the piass will make no more like him: [Written for the Dispatch.] Z U L El M E: A STORY FOUNDED ON FACT. —o — BT EMMIE EMERALD. There was the same triumphant smile . on Zuleime s red lips, and the same . pround light in her eyes, that was there when she stood before the altar ; she 1 trod the sumptuous parlor with a step that seemed to disdain even the match- j 1 less carpet that met it. Presently she . was joined by her husband, the Comte ; , j e Samba ; he was a member of the s Senate and wore the tasteful court cos- ; , tume prescribed by Louis Napoleon for b the members—a coat of dark blue vel -5 vet ornamented with gold embroidery. - representing oak and palm branches in l terlaccd ; and pantaloons of white cassi-, i mere, with gold braid on the seams, t ■> How beautiful you are to night, j ; men amour ’ said the little count, glanc-; ing at his wife as he arranged his cravat ; ; before the mirror; “it has been two or: • three generations since the family jew ; i els adorned so fair a dame; neitheri . | madame, my mother, nor her mother i i were crest beauties in their time. •• I should judge not, Monsieur, if the j family portraits are faithful likenesses," : said the spoiled beauty carelessly, re-' garding her own fair features with great complacency. At that moment the liveried servaut, announced the Duke and Duchess do! L , and for an hour continued to , call out the noblest and most celebrated j names in France. Among all the great; and titled crowd that thronged the ho- j tel de Gamba that night, the American! beauty was the star that shone pre-em inent. ; proud nobles sought eagerly to gain her attention ; celebrated wits ex changed repartees with her and ac knowledged themselves beaten with their own weapons ; grave senators for- ; got the affairs of state in the charm of j her conversation ; and fastidious artists' gazed with admiration on her loveliness. Zuleime’s head was well nigh turned} with all this adulation ; in the little: I city of her birth she had been accus tomed to the admiration of ball loom, beaux and nameless youths ; but now; of menjwbo were no longer boys, whose names were written on the pages of history and , known wherever civilization existed ; statesmen, poets, soldiers, wits, scholars, artists, men who had acquired fame; in the forum, on the battle field, and in J the world of letters and of art. Zuleime! flitted hither anu thither like a fairy j queen, with her flashing jewels shed- 1 ding a halo of light around her, and the syren voice of praise echoing in her ear; but,whether she danced or sang or jest ed, a basilisk eye and a glance of burn-; ; ing hatred pursued her. | Ah ! was there none to warn, none to } whisper of the fearful doom that await led her ; nothing to foretell the dark j and terrible tragedy that was to follow ! the brillant comedy of that memorable | night? a * o » * a ® The scene of festivity was over. The countesse Zuleime was in the Blue Salon alone. She stood before a mirror gaz ing dreamily in to the dark depths of. her eyes, now soft and languid from the! fatigues of the dance. “ My brilliant dreams are almost re-: alized,” she mused proudly; my destiny is indeed a bright one, but ah it shall u .be brighter yet—l will be the duchesse j: deßasillonof the age, the “Queen of ■ Paris. ” I havo youth and beauty | and genius; these with boundless i 1 wealth may accomplish anything—yet i i ] once,” she continued with a scornful 1 | laugh, “how ucar I was to enacting the! j | farce of love in a cottage. Ha, ha!” i j “Haha” echoed lotkervoice. !< | The lady turned, and as her eye en- 1 ! countered the wild ha gard figure be- i fore her, she recoiled like one stricken j by a thunder bolt. “ Adrien,” was the 1 1 only word that fell from her parted < lips. | 1 “Zuleime!” he responded with a' mocking bow. For a few moments tliere was a pain-; ful silence, during which Madame la Countesse stood pale, trembling, and conscience stricken before the man whom she had so deeply injured. At! length she asked in a faint voice : “ Why do you seek me, Adrien?” “ Why do I seek you ? ’ ho answered j fiercely; “ why should I seek a woman who has repaid my devotion with per-' , tidy ; who has blasted my youth and j made me the scorn of my associates?! jDo you think, ma Me Omnlt/e. I seel, you to pour another love strain in your! ear ?” Zuleime, the proud and haughty Zu leime,shrank back cowed and frightened j by the glare of those fearful eyes,—eyes too that had once looked into her own with fond and passionate idolatry. “All, you would know why I seek you,” he resumed in a low hissing voice. “ Yes, ” she gasped in trembling ac cents. “This will reply,” answered the young man, drawing from his bosom a poignard and holding the keen glitter ing blade before the Countess’ eyes. j Zuleime’s presence of mind deserted her ; her livered servants servants wei e [ within call, hut she remembered it not; her heart almost ceased its beating, and her cheek grew pale as the tearful god- J ! .jess to whoso pedestal she elungforsup- I port. ! , »oh, Adrien, you would not murder me,” she cried, sinking on her knees 1 and lifting her hands beseechingly. ; ‘-Why not, Madame la Countesse ’ 1 What claims have you on my mercy ? C ! he asked with a mocking calmness that ’; was more fearful than his wildest rage. e i “<Jh. Adrien, for the sake of the past— ” for the sake of our old love, spaie me. J | I wronged you—wronged you deeply— j but I was greatly tempted.” she mur mured, half fainting from terror. A ' j change passed over tne young mans '', handsome face, as he gazed down on i the woman so beautiful, even in her [terror and despair. He sank upon a fauteuil, near which she was kneeling, and took one of her hands in his. “Zuleime,” he said in a trembling ! voice, “you unnerve me when you : speak of the past—the post that your ! love brightened, your desertion dark ened. But Zuleime,” he continued in a voice musical in its earnestness, while she wild lire left his eyes and they grew toft and tender as a maiden's. "Zu -1 leime, if you love me still, we may yet ibe happy. Leave this empty magnifi cence ; this cold heartless wealth, and | return with me to our own land.” j Zuleime shrank back involuntarily at ! these words, hut warned by the gather ing frownon the young man’s brow, she i remained silent. ! “Then you consent, my Zuleime— -1 you will come with me,” he sail, at tempting to raise her from the floor. | “Oh, not now, Adrien,” she exclaim ; ed, shrinking from him. “Yes, now—why not now, Zuleime. ; “ I cannot go in tills dress —you must giveme time to make some preparation, Adrien," she answered glad of some ex ' cuse. 1 The young man regarded her fora moment in silence, then the fierce light ! returned to his eyes. “ Traitress, you would deceive me— but no, you shall never dupe me again,” j he uttered fiercely. Again the dagger flashed in the light; again Zulcime’s white, jeweled hands were raised beseechingly—but in vain; ; the keen blade sought and found her ■ false heart; with a low, '-.ailing moan, she sank down and the rich carpet was crimsoned with her life's blood. Adrien I de Vere stood with folded arms contem | plating his work—his heart was wrung l with anguish, but there was no remorse in his soul. He lent down and pressed I a kiss upon his victim’s brow, and sev ering a jetty curl with the blood-stain ! ed dagger, he turned away. I On the morrow, when the servants came to remove the tracesof last night's festivity, they beheld a scene that froze ; them with horror. The lights still i burnt, gleaming on the silvered fuvni | ture and polished mirrors ; the flowers | bloomed and shed around their fra grance—and she, the young, the bright, j ’ the beautiful, lay upon the carpet—her j rich robes dabbled in gore, and her jew els flashing gaily on her cold brow and 1 pulseless bosom, as in mockery. Above her, upon her pedestal, Niobe looked' down sadly upon tb i upturned face, scarce less beautiful and marble-like i ’ than her own. All Paris was astonished and bor • rifled at the news of the murder. No ; trace of the murderer nor motive for ' i the black deed, could be discovered.; It was wrapped in impenetrable mystery j and remained forever so, in spite of the , fabulous sums offered bv the Count for | ; the apprehension of the murderer, and j | the unwearying efforts of the secret po- j lice. Zulcime’s funeral was as splendid | | an affair, though in a different way, as; ; her fete had been. The long line of gorgeous equipages, with their pranc- J ing horses, and raving plumes, extend-! ed four miles. This grand cortege de- j tamed for an hour and a half an humble i c/>. • r funehre, which, unattended by a sin- ’ gle mourner, was bearing to his grave an unknown stranger, who had been taken [ out of the Seine the day after the mnr jderof Madame la Countesse de Gamba.

It is | ! one of the few patent medicines which a-o now > ;i-i over tbo country, that are really what their; inventors claim for them. Wherever it has had j a fair trial, the result has been precisely a? j Wood predicts. It has never failed to turn the white hair back to the natural color, whore the i • erections have been strictly followed, and in! unn crons cases it has restored the hair upon! heads that had been bald for years. It is not! pretended that it will make the hair grow in ev- j ery case, but where it fails there is certainly no! remedy. The restoration of the hair has been | j - vied in so many instances where the case; seemed -utterly hopeless, that it G certain y worth while for all who have lost their hair to try the experiment of using a bottle or two of ji Wood's Restorative. —Moline Workman. , ‘ r sale in G< W on irally. 0c127 I v Prclghts bj Jht .'iaviiiiiißhltlTcr By the Iron Steamboat Company Line, willbo rc- j jceived and forwarded free of Commission, ad-j ! dressed to the care of-Agent Iron Steamboat j Compauy. ] ' J.
