He was indeed the observed of all j ! observers, it may he safely asserted that no j man in America, since the great John Smith ex- i plored the primeval forests of Virginia, and held | communion with the “noble savage” Powhatan, | has run a career (if such boldness, dating and j adventure. His frontier defence of the Texan | Republic constitutes one of the most remarkable j pages in the history of the American character j For importance of results, brought about by ap- j patently utterly inadequate means, his services ! stand pre-eminent;—for dating and endurance, for privation, suffering and hard fighting, this [ soldier with his little hand of followers, stands without a parallel sea rcely in the history of I warfare. It will hardly he credited by after time that ; (his man, with forty followers, was required and j did successfully defend from the ravages of a i most powerful savage horde, an exposed and ! defenceless frontier country of hundreds of miles ! in extent. T hat lie accomplished still more 1 than a simple defence of the frontier, and, car- j rving the terror of his name far across the hor- ; tier country, drove tho terrible Cumaoehe to in- 1 terpose for his own safety forests aud prairies, ; livers and plains, between him aud the unerring I revolver of his relentless pursuer. But the story ! of his warfare, even amongst Ids own country- I men, appears almost fabulous, when we remem- | tier that, supersadded to the border defence j against the Indian, was also imposed upon this j little band the duty of keeping watch upon the j wily Mexican foe, of meeting and lighting them | in ail numbers and under ail circumstances, | whenever they crossed the border—assisted on ly by such hardy frontier men as could he col- | leeted from their fields and firesides upon an j emergency. This campaigning was continued, j and ran throifgh a period, it’we tetnemher right- | lv, of nearly eight years. There was no well appointed commissariat 1 to supply this devoted little hand with the ue- i cessaries even which pertained to a common j life of drudgery ; no marquees, no camp equip- j age, no ordnance, no wagons, no grooms—none | of the pride, pomp,and circumstance ofglorious j war, garnished the return of the dating frontier | man and tiis biother in arms. Their covering ) was the firmament, aud their beds the earth— j their food was such game as they killed upon i their march, and as for bread they had none.— f Not even the ammunition which they used was I at ail times furnished by the government; they j purchased it with the skin of the tvikl Leasts ; which they killed for their food. And amid all i this were perpetually recurring desperate and j bloody conflicts uith the foe. Aud seldom did j that grim array return from “'a scourt,” without • an empt y saddle or so told the tale of their daring > and their dangers. The world is familiar with the services of Col. j Hays its the war with Mexico. Everybody re- j members the praises bestowed upon him as the j Murat of the army by the glorious and lamented Gen. Worth. But an opinion expressed by that galhim niiicer relative to Col. Hays is certainly j calculated to mislead. Worth said that Hays, j when in front of the enemy, was tho tallest man | iu ihe saddle belonging to the American army, i Far otherwise is it with him when seen amongst ; a crowd of his countrymen. if you expect to see‘‘a second Hector liom hi- grim aspect,”! you will ho disappointed— you will otdy see a| slender, well propotioned, tightly knit man, of j scarcely middle size, remarkably, certainly, for i the formation of his head, and the quiet, peue- j traimg fire of his eye—but modest to an extent | Hnily surprising for any one. certainly for one i who has not only seen the Elephant, hut has for a great part of his life lived with him. Col. Hays has paid a shot t vi.-i t to our city,! hut remained only long enough t pay a visit of | respect and courtesy to the venerable mother of j one of his most esteemed companions in arms— j the late Major Chevnilie. He returns home i shortly to California ; and few, we venture to \ say, who have seen hint, but would he glad to i know that the best fortune of that golden land j may be his. T he present writers for the Times, says /,’//■ j za Cook’s Journal, are only known by rumor, j The mystery of newspaper editing in Eng- ! ; land is still guarded as strictly as possible. Tire i i editor is not a man of mark amongst us, as in i | France. His name is even studiously conceal- 1 | ed : and, though wielding a great power daily ■ j before tiie eyes of the people, his name never ; : appears. In fact, the social position of the j | English editor is not vet recognized ; and j ! hence he remains behind a mask, hidden and J irresponsible. Rumor avers that Mr. Delaine, i the younger, is the chief editor of the Times, > although Mr. Mowbray Morris (who was ex ; amined before the newxptv er committee the otli j er day) appears before the public as the respon ! sibie man and editor.

But there are others as good as he—<j§atn Phiiips’ reviews of new books have recently attracted great notice and admiration. | The slashing article on “Carlyle's Life of Ster ; ling” was written by him.

For some j years past much inconvenience has been expe ) rionced from the want of greater accomodations | for furnishing the increasing demand for its pub- I lications—notwithstanding the magnitude of ! the establishment in Nassau st., which has. up jtotl is time, been occupied. In January, 18.V2. ! i the Society secured the lot on which the new ! j building has been erected. Its area is about i ! three-fourths of au acre, comprising between ! • eleven and twelve city lota. The shape of the | i building is nearly a triangle, with unequal sides. | I it has a front of IDM feet 8 inches on Fourth-av , J | 202 feet on Eiglith-st., !K> feet Ii inches on j i Tliird-av., and 2.32 feet G incites on Ninth st, — ■ ! making a total front of over 700 feet.

The printing ami! j binding part of the establishment, after-wards ; j added, six stories in bight, cost about the same j | amount of money. B y the increase in the value j I ot property, this has more than doubled in value j j and has been sold to the Baptists for 8105 000, | ! to he occupied ns offices for their Bible and Mis- j | sionary, Foreign and Domestic operations.

[From tha Charleston Mercury.] Railway Curves. The working ot railways, both in this coun j try and in England, Is (ontimlaliy illustrating - : tho dangers ot curved tracks. In the early ex ! perimeuts, and unfortunately in not a few of the I later ones, there was but little attention paid to ! this subject. When the engineer found a hi! | lock, or a hit of swamp in tiis way, he made a I detour, and as they sav iu military movements, turned its Hank. For tiio moment it was a ! small saving in the cost of construction, and | for this was incurred the permanent ex; ease of a j longer road, a track subject to much heavier i wear and tear, and the multiplied accidents of ! curves. The most experienced managers of Railroads i in our State have become deeply impressed | wiih the importance of a straight track in detail, . ’ and the nearest possible approach to an airline | between the termini. This has been realized iu ! the route of the Northeastern Railroad, which, j excepting the necessary curve in turning Cooper ; River, has hardly a deviation through its whole j length. We understand also that in the new i track ot the South Carolina Railroad, the rule I ol a straight line is to be adhered to as far as ! possible. So great is tho advantage of a true line, in the movement of long trains ot loaded cars, that it has been settled that a locomotive can carry the | same load at the same speed over the new cut > at Aiken, with a grade of near sixty feet to the j mile, which it could carry on the old track to | the loot of the inclined plane, having a grade: jof not more than thirty feet to the mile. Add j | to this the immense advantages iu the way of | security, from a track which, for miles, through ; | all the heaviest cuts and embankments of tins ! f admirable work, is as true as the barrel of a j : ride. To illustrate tho fearful conflict of forces, j i when trains are moving at speed over curves, j I we need go no further back than the deplora- : | ble catastrophe of last .Sunday on the Baltimore | and Ohio Railroad. All the leading facts are i I embodied in the following brief extract; “Tbe train consisted of a baggage car and j three passenger cars, and was in charge of the j ’ most cautious and skillful conductor on the I Road, to whom no blame can possibly be at tached. The cars were drawn by one large and one small engine. When passing the 80 i loot tilling on section 76, and descending a | curved grade of 11(5 feet to Cheat river, the j j large engine started the nails binding the rails ; ;to me chestnut cross ties. All the cars got over ! | safely except the two last passenger cars, which, | by tiie parting o! the track, were thrown down ] : the liver side, falling a distance of over 100 feet, and making four summersets in their fearful : descent.” There appears here to have been a comhina i tion of two difficulties—a heavy grade and a ; | considerable curve. The road is anew one, I ! and lias been built for strength and endurance.! ; But observe how frail it was under the great j ’ momentum of a train at speed The engine j j wrenched out the fastenings of the rails, ami ! I left a ruinous track behind it. Every one has felt in a train rapidly moving, a sharp hard ‘ ; sound like that of a trip-hummer working so fast ‘ j that its blows made almost a continuous noise. | This is the heating ol the wheels upon joints of! . the rails, necessaiily left rather loose to allow ; for expansion in hot weather. I his furious re- | sistance to so -light an irregularity, shows what! must he tiie grinding di.-iocating power of a heavy train m.niug overall abrupt curve, where . the inner and shorter rail has the whole weight ; of li e mov.-oicnt throw n upon iistdf. lint there is another class of dangers from j curves, that is scarcely loss learlul—tlio danger | !ol collision. Ol this last the English papers fur- ! nish an example, which occurred on ti.e Bristol and Birmingham Railway. A train met with j j ail accident which compelled it to stop. Hera j is what followed: “It so happened that at this very time an en- j ; gine, which the previous evening had gone up j | the line lor the purpose of assisting a heavy bag- | ■ gage train up the steep incline, was in the act of; ; returning to the engine house at the Bristol; - station. “The driver of this engine, being wholly una- i wain of any stoppage on the line, and the morn- j ing being very foggy, did not sec the disabled \ train till just as he was turning a sharp curve ! near the Mangotstield station, and had arrived j within a very short distance of it. He applied ; the breaks, and did ail in his power to stop the en- j gine and avert a collision, unhappily in vain, for ! it ran into tiie train itii alarming violence,! completely smashing tiie two last carriages all ! to pieces.” The consequence was that two persons were j killed outright, and seven others badly maimed j and bruised. It is highly probable that it was; | the “sharp curve” which had disabled the train j ; in the first instance, but at any rate it was that j : which prevented the engine from seeing what j ! was before it, and so caused tile catastrophe. j T hese are forcible examples, but tfiev are j j only two out of a hundred that every year fur- j iiislie? iis, of the danger of deviating from a J : straight line in the construction of railroads, j | Os course, in a mountain country, such devia- ! ! lions cannot always be avoided, but our obser | vation shows that they are admitted much often- ! or than is absolutely necessary, and especially 1 that the curves, to save a little trouble ami cost in construction, are very often made unneces i sarilv abrupt. In the low- and middle country’of the South ! these mischievous meanderiugs of railroads are quite inexcusable. They are never necessary, and in their effects, they form one of the most | traitful sources of expense iu the working of the i roads. They lengthen the running distance, .nd thus cause a loss of time To every'tram, i hey increase this loss by checking speed. ; The curved track wears out much faster, and |it tears and wrenches the rolling stock. Add j to this that every abrupt curve, by concealing 1 the track, becomes a trap for the trains, and ■ will, in alt probability, in the ordinary period of j a charter, cost the Company three times as ; much in the repairs ami accidents, as was saved j in the first construction. Me have foil that, at this time, when so many | railroads are in progress in our own and the | neighboring States, this point could not be too * strongly pressed on the attention of their mans j gers. Ra.i oa< s are not temporary expedients— I they are meant tor the use of ail futuie gene rations, and are expected to be the most endur . i ing, as well as the grandest, monuments of the I enterprise and forecast ol our age.
