A young rose in the summer lime, D beautiful to me, And glorious the many stars That glimmer on the sea; But gentle words and loving hearts, And hands to clasp my own, Are heller than the brightest flowers. Or stars that ever shown. The sun mav warm the grass to life, The dew the drooping tlower, And eyes grow bright and watch the light Os autumn’s opening hour; But words that breathe of tenderness, And smiles we know are true, Are warmer than the summer time. And brighter than the dew. It is not much the world can give, With all its subtle art, And gold or gems are not the things To satisfy the heart, Bui O, if those who cluster round The altar and the hearth, Have gentio words and loving smiles, How beautiful is earth. Judge Douglas’ Deniocrary. The Washington Union ihus concludes an able articlejn reference to Judge Douglas. he may, refine and special plead as he may, The country and the democratic party cannot be deceived by him. He has resisted the consummation of his own “great measure.”— He lias denounced its steadfast supporiers as men of honor and the perpetrators of fraud. He has joined Seward, Hale, Wade, and Trumbull, the veteran opponents of his “great measure,” in mak ing war upon it, in defeating its application in Kansas, ami in opposing and denouncing its sup porters. He voted for and eulogizes the Crittenden- Montgomery amendment, a measure supported by the very men who instigated the emigrant aid societies, and set on foot the non-voting proceed ings in Kansas. He hopped upon the President’s message in the Senate at the moment it had been read, charging its author with committing a “fun damental error,.’and “falsifying his pledges;” and he concerts with the abolitionists through a whole session of Congress movements to discredit a democratic administration before the country, to break dawn the leading test measure of the demo cratic party, and baffle, cripple, and defeat its organization. Ifto attack a democratic adminis tration in his first speech, in his last speech and in his every speeclt during a session of Congress; if to oppose the democratic party in Congress in it leading and test measure, be to desert his party, Judge Douglas has deserted the democracy. Ifto concert and affiliate with the abolitionists (hr a whole winter in Congress ; to instigate its attacks, open and covert, against the administration; to advise its movements and to vo e for and eulogize its measures, be desertion of the democratic party, then is Judge Douglas a deserter from the demo cratic organization. In respect to the Kansas-Nebraska act and the legal proceedings in Kansas which resulted in the Lecompton constitution, the democratic adminis tration —President, Vice President, and every cabi net olficer, the unanimous democratic senators and representatives from one section of the Union, and a large majority of them from the other, are on one side of the question ; and Judge Douglas with the unanimous black-republicans on the other.- — From this position, which he has maintained to wards his party and its measures all winter, he lias gone home denouncing its action in Congress, de nouncing t he Lecompton bill. As to the English bill, which meet the objection on which he planted himself during the winter, lie refuses to be recon ciled even by the concession to his own proposition which it contains; and,determined to liud fault with his party upon any measure it may propose, trumps up anew objection to this bill, making war upon his party on anew ground wholly different from the one on which he assailed it in Congress. Refusing to support a btil which lie confesses con cedes his original objections, he will not even ac quiesce in it; but assails it, ibr the want of better, with objections borrowed from List black republican allies. Such is Mr. Douglas’s position. If he be in the party, it is impossible to say who is not in it,or who is not out. Ifhe be entitled to the countenance of the party, then it is difficult to say what man in the Union is not. The party which can overlook conduct like his must have parted with all self-re spect, all power and purpose to preserve its own in tegrity, all capacity for present self-protection, all expectation of a successful or honorable future, al! concern for any future at all. From the Mobile] Register. Gidtllag* View of the Crittenden Amend ment i The following is an extract from an address is sued to his constituents on his return from Wash ington by the noted abolition congressman, Gid dirtgs.of Ohio. “The proposed amendment denied in the most unmistakenbie language that Kansas was a slave i State,as the President had ollicially asserted; it placed him on the records of our country a falsi fier of truth, and constituted an unqualified repu diation of h;s avowed policy. Nor could we dis- ‘ guise the conviction that the friends of the Presi dent in the Senate would never agree to the bid when thus amended. They could only accept it by au abandonment of the President, and of his long cherished policy. All were conscious that both the Executive and Democratic party were under the control ot the slave power; and that power demanded the unconditional admission of Kansas as a slave State, and that several States and many politicians were pledged to dissolve the Union unless Kansas was unconditionally admitted with her Lecompton Constitution. It was there fore morally certain that adherence to the amend ed bill by’ the House would constitute a defeat ot the Executive and his party, and would prevent the enactment of the Lecompton .Constitution into a law. “Ail clearly foresaw that every Iriend of the President in the House and in Senate would vote against the amended hill, and as we sup posed, all who voted for the bill were solemn ly pledged to adhere to it. We all saw that to make Kansas a free State we must first defeat the President’s efforts to make it a slave State.— His project was before us, was forced upon us for decision, and must be met and disposed of before we could take the first step towards making Kan sas free. And I speak not for myself, but I think for nearly the entire Republican party in the House of Rt presentatives, when I say that our object and design in voting for the amendment was to defeat the Senate bill; to defeat the Executive and slave power in their efforts to make Kansas a slave State. To avoid the defeat, every follower of lhe President, both in the House and in the Senate, vo ted against the amendment. Such is the testimony of the veteran and uncom promising Abolitionist leader as to the merits and character of the Crittenden Amendment. And this proposition, so zealously supported by the Black Republicans, and shown to be so entirely acceptable to the most ultra Abolitionist, is the theme of ihe most extravagant eulogy with Sena tor Douglas in his speeches in Illinois, whilst the Conference act is equally the subject of his un measured denunciation. Hon. Jefferson Davis made a Doctor. We see it stated that, at the recent commence ment of Bowdoin College, Maine, the degree of L. L. D. was conferred on the Hon. Win. Pitt Fessen den, Senator from Maine, and on the Hon. Jeffer son Davis, senator from Mississippi in the Congress of the United Stales. Mr. Fessenden has been for many years one of the leading Abolitionists of Maine. That Mr. Davis should be honored by this association of his name with Mr. Fessenden’s, in the honor conferred by a college crammed full with Abolitionists, is undoubtedly attributable to his late Union speech at sea. An inveterate Union man in the South may be a far more useful ally ol North ern Abolitionism than Abolitionists themselves. — “You hold, and 1 skin.” —Charleston Mer cury.

A correspondent calls our attention to an appa rent misapprehension liable to be drawn from the letter descriptive of the delivery of a letter to the Chinese officials on the Pei-ho river, by certain na val officers, as published in the Union of the sth instant. The party was under the command of the master of the Mississippi, Geo. Bacon, and consist ed of Midshipmen Kelly, Mills, and Pritchett, and Engineers Freeman, Bartieman, and Williams, with three petty officers and one apprentice boy.— Passed Assistant Surgeon D. B. Phillips, and As sistant Surgeon P. S. Wales and First Lieut. Jacob Reed, of the marines, accompanied Mr. Bacon by invitation. A perusal oi the letter will explain fully the part taken by Dr. Phillips, in offering sug gestions to Mr. Bacon in accomplishing his pur pose to deliver the letter. Dr. P. is a son of Cos!. Wm. F. Phillips, late Sixth Auditor of the Treas sury, and is spoken of by our correspondent as “a gallant officer—an ornament alike to tiie navy and to the medical profession.” Commodore Stewart, of ihe navy, completed his 80th year of age on the 2§th ult., and, we are hap py to add, is still in the enjoyment of good health, vigor, and activity. He entered the navy a Lieut. GO years ago last March. Gen. Harney reached Fort Leavenworth on the 2d jnstant. The following is an extract of a letter from an officer on board the U. S. steamer Germantown, dated Whampoa, China, May 17; “YVe are now anchored in YV’hampoa harbor, twelve miles from Canton, having arrived here from Hong-Kong. Our boats are all out. armed, provisioned, and otherwise prepared for an out break, which is inomemtarily expected in the last named city. The English are momentarily expec ting an attack; and, in that event, the German town and her officers are all ready to protect the lives and property of American citizens doing busi ness there. “The Powhatan will relieve the steam-frigate San Jacinto, which sailed for New York, via. Ba tavia and the Cape of Good Hope on the 14th. “The flag of Commodore Tatnall was transfer red to to the Powhatan on the 13th, when the usual salutes were fired. This fine ship, which has been constantly on the move for the past five months, will leave as soon as site completes load ing. Her destination is supposed to be the northern coast of China.” Then and Now. When Gov. Walker saw fit to recommend the submission of the Kansas Constitution to a vote of tiie whole people, there was heard along the whole column of the “American” forces, one loud long howl of agony—as if the demon of destruc tion had put a knife into tiie very bowels of the South—bemoaning most piteously the fate of Southern Rights, and alternating with fierce and fiery denunciation of the Democracy and the President for not hurling Walker from,, his dan gerous position. All that happened but a year ago. How is it now ! Mr Douglas, a Senator front tiie State of Illinois; and Mr. Crittenden, a Sena tor from ihe State of Kentucky, have advo cated a policy in reference to Kansas more objec tionable than that of Gov. Walker; and what do we hear from the “American” Press ? Any “howl of agony ? Any fiery denunciation of either of these gentlemen ? No ! not a whisper. All is calm and peaceful with them now. Why is it thus? Why was Walker such a villain, and why is Crit tenden suclt a saint ? The answer is plain. Crit tenden is a Know Nothing, and Walker was a Democrat. Know Nothings have sworn to defend and support Know Nothings, at all times and un der all circumstances; and doubtless have taken another oath to denounce Democrats at ali times, and under all circumstances.— Federal Union. pg* Tiie Nashville Union says: The charge against Humphrey Marshall and Mr. Crittenden, i contained in the following paragraph from ihe j Louisville Courier, is confiimed by a rumor prcv- j lent in YVashingtori during- the paet winter, that I both of these gentlemen (Crittenden and Marshall) j were Lecompton men at the commencement of the season, but, changed their position immediately af ter the arrival of Prentice in Washington. There was a proposition before Congress to construct a canal on the Ohio river, opposite Louisville, which would have operated injuriously to Louisville. It was said that Marshall and Prentice bargained with the Black Republicans that if they (the parties of the second part) would assist in defeating this mea sure, the parties of the first part would oppose the Lecompton Constitution : Humphrey Marshall in a Tight Place. —No one who knows the representative to Congress from this district, will be surprised to hear the following statement, it is so entirely characteristic of the man. The Lexington Statesman, of Saturday, 31st ult., in referring to Hon. James B. Clay’s speech at Cynthiana, makes the fcllowingsiartlingdevelop ment. YVhat has Humphrey to say in regard to it ? Is lie guilty or not guilty. One fact, however, which Mr. Clay stated in his speech we must repeat. He said it was known in Washington last winter, in the early part of the session of Congress, that Humphrey Marshall was for admitting Ksrsas with the Lecompton Consti tution; that he had prepared a speech on that side, and was awaiting an opportunity to deliver it before the House. Mr. Crittenden was understood to hold the same ground with Marshall, when sud denly Prentice, of the Journal, made his appear ance in Washington, and through him a bargain was made with the Black Republicans; a bargain which Marshall does not deny, but pnblicly called on Mr. Stevenson to bear witness that he and his Know Nothing allies had faithfully performed their [iart of the bargain. From the Washington Evening Star. The Duty of the Lawyer, It is the received doctrine in this country, of late years, we regret to have to write, that a lawyer may honorably do and say things in defense or ad vocacy of his client’s cause, which as a gentleman he would scorn to do. Perhaps the pernicious sen timents uttered by Lord Brougham on the subject have done more than aught else to establish ti e as cendancy of that reprehensible doctrint. Mr. Jus tice Coleridge, who lately took leave ot the Court (English) oi Queen’s Bench, whereof he occupied a seat for more than forty years, in his valedictory address held up the atrocity of the doctrine of Brougham in this connection in so glaring a light as to lead to the hope that his antidote may ac complish something, at least, in the way of correc ting the effect of the moral poison, which being based on the unsound idea that the end justifies the means, operates not only to make lawyers, but all others who come under the influence of their teachings, insincere and really untrustworthy men. YVe may not be understood. as thus stigmatising them ourself, but rather as urging that if it be true that the lawyer may with propriety seek for the benefit of his client, to make what he knows to be the worse, appear to be the better cause, any other man may, with like propriety, seek to deceive and cheat in the prosecution of his business. Said Mr, Justice Coleridge on the occasion referred to above : “These are not your severest trials,” refering to the more familiar difficulties of the profession, they are those which are most insidious; which be set you., in|the ordinary path of your daily duty ; those which spring from the excitement of contest, from the love of intellectual display, and even from an exaggerated sense of duty to your clients. “Gentlemen, especially my younger friends suf fer me, without offence, to put you on your guard against these. YVe can well afford to bear iradi tional pleasantries upon us front without, but we cannot afford that underlying these there slum Id exist among thoughtful persons the feeling that our professional standard of honor is questionable —that we, as advocates, will say and do in court what we, as gentlemen, would scorn to do in the common walks of life. Sometimes, I confess, it seems to me that we lend support to such a feeling by the lightness with which we impute ungener . oils conduct or practices lo each other. Surely no case is eo sacred, no client so dear, that ever an ad vocaie should be called upon to Darter his own self-respect. If that be our duty, our great and glorious profession is no calling for a gentle man. Sale of Scrap Iron on the Railroad—Loss to the State of $25,000 It will be remembered, that some time ago, the present Superintendent of tiie State Railroad, sold the oid Iron which had been, worn, broken, or oth erwise become unfit for use at prices varying from §22 to §2B per ton, according to our recollection, which makes an average of, sav §25 per ton. Now, the fact that this Iron could have been re rolled by the mills in Atlanta, at a cost of 15 to §2O per ton, and that in the processof re-rolling, the loss in weight would not have been very great —perhaps not more than one-tenth, if so much.— And that when re-roiled, it would be perhaps bet ter than it ever was, and wortli to the road at least §75 per ton. The price which the Stale has been, ipaying for Iron being made known to tiie people it will be .een that this Scrap Iron, as it is called was worth moreto the State than fifty dollars per ton; and that it has been sold for about one half of its true value; and that ihe loss is as much as the sum for which the Iron was sold. This is a specimen of the able and faithful finan ciering of the present Superintendent.” The above, which we copy from the Cartersviil Express of the ltth inst., is a fair sample of that opposition which is now being waged by this pa per to the administration [of Gov, Brown and the management of the YY’. & A. R. R., by Dr. Lewis. It the calculations ot the writer were supported by tacts, the people might conclude that there was manifest weakness in the act of selling the worn out iron of the road, and, therefore, might, with some justice, visit upon tiie Governor ami Super intendent, the charge of ignorance and folly. But siuce an investigation of tiie facts shows beyond doubt, that it is the editor of the Express who is ignorant,and neither the Governor nor Superin tendent, we hope this gentleman will be sufficient ly magnanimous to plead guilty and cease his un just assaults. lie says that the iron was sold at an average of §25 per ion; that it could have been re-rolied at from 15 to §2O per ton; that in the process of re-roiiing, it would not have lust more titan ten per cent, and that by tiie addition of Irom 15 to §2O per ton, this iron might have been rendered of tiie value of §75 per ton to tiie State, lie also states that when the price that the Stale iias been paying for iron is made known to the people, this scrap iron, as it is called, will appear to have been worth more than §SO per ton. There fore lie concludes that it was sold for one-half its value. YVe admit tha he average price of iron sold was §25 per ton, of 2,000 lbs., but so far from its costing from 15 to §2O to have it re-rolled in At anta, the average price for this is §3O per ton.— The estimated loss or waste during the process of re-rolling is 15 per cent. These estimates are cor rect and will he sustained by at.y 4 one who has the proper knowledge of the subject. Now let us see how tiie Cartersville Express and our calculations agree. Average rate of sale pertonof2ooo lbs §25,00 “ cost of re-rolling, per ton, 35,00 , §50,00 Average loss per ton, at 15 percent, 8,25 Total, §03,25 Instead, therefore, of its having cost but §49,50 after being re-rolled as tiie Express supposes, it would have cost §63 25 as shown by our esti mate. Now the Express stales that for 49,50 per ton, including ihe price for which the old iron was sold, it would have been increased to the value of §75.00 io the State. At present nett English iron can be purchased in New York, at 42 per ton; with freight to Atlanta; which is §9 per ton—we have the total cost— §sl,oo. The ton purchased thus contains 2240, making a difference 0f248 ibs., between each ton of New Y’ork, and those sold by the Superintend ent. The difference i-the result of a positive and special contract between Dr. Lewis and Cot Coop er, i lie purchaser of the old Iron. If we subtract tiie price oi 240 pounds, from the price per ton of 2240 lbs laid down in Atlanta from New York, we have 5,00. leaving tiie cost of 2000 lbs laid down in Atlanta 40,00. Taking „the estimate of the Express as correct it would cost the State three dollars less to buy new iron than it would have cost to have re-rolled tiie old iron, and taking ours as correct, it [would have cost seventeen dollars and twenty-five cents less per ton. YVe aie credibly informed that at the time when this sale of scrap iron was made, the rolling mill at Atlanta, had suspended operations, and therefore ihe process of re-roiling at that point was utterly out of tiie question. The sale was not effected until due notice had been given; the same having not only been pub lished at. home, hut in the Eastern cities, where purchasers might most likely be found. A gen tleman from Philadelphia was present on the day of sale, and run the iron tip to the price which it brought. Now if it was sold at half price it is quite strange that this gentleman who came all the way from Philadelphia to make the purchase, did not bid more For it. Surely twelve thousand, five hundred dollars would have been quite a hand some profit, and this lie could have realized after purchasing at thirty-seven thousand five hundred dollars, if the estimate of the Cartersville Express be correct.— Worth Georgia Times, duly ‘3oth, 1858. Quitman and Freemasonry. The Mobile Mer cury in sketcniiig the character and career of the late Gen. Quitman, remarks: There is yet another thread running through the life of the statesman and the soldier which binds him to many hearts all over the world. Quitman was an ardent, enthusiastic Freemason, ami it is sta ted Ihat when he was Governor of the city of Mexico, there was found among the archives in the National l’alace, a copy of the proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Mississippi during the first term of his Grand Mastership. Some twenty-nine years ago, the Grand Consistory of the 32d De gree ol ihe Sublime and Accepted Scotch Rite was organized in the city of Natchez, with himself as presiding officer, ihat time he was recognized as the head of that branch of the Ma sonic family in the Southwest. Shortly after his relurn fiom the Mexican war, he was elected a member of the Supreme Council of Sovereign Grand Inspectors General of the 33d Degree at Charleston, the highest Masonic dignity which can be obtained. Probably there was only one Masonic degree which he never received, conscien tious scruples preventing him from entering the order of Knights Templars. Ex-President Pierce. —Correspondence from YVashington states thatjlelters had been received by la-t English steamer announcing the arrival of Ex-President Pierce in Lisbon by the sailing pack et Galgos on tiie 20th ult. His departure from Madeira was the occasion of marked demonstrations ol respect on the part of thejauthorities of the is land. The Governor and lus suite escorted him inthe government barge to the Galgos, which was lying at some distance from the land, while an imperial salute was fired from Loo Rock. The natives of the island ferowded upon the shore to witness the embarkation. At Lisbon the young King had extended to him every desirable mark of consideration, and from the inhabitants he had received invations of hospitably and respect, all of which the health of Mr. Pierce had him to decline Gen. Pierce was intending on the 2d of Jmy to take the French steamer to Marseilles ; thence immediately to Switzerland, where he and Mrs. Pierce will spend the summer. Connubial Bliss. —l once met a free and easy actor, who told me that he had passed three fes tive days at the seat of the Marquis and Marchion ess of’ , without any invitation, convinced (as proved to be the case) that my lord and my lady, not being on speaking terms, would each suppose the other had asked him, — Reynold's Life ’ and Times- Love lit the Cars. The editor of the Harrisburg Telegraph is in formed of a singular adventure which occuted on the passenger train of cats arriving at Harrisburg Irom th“ East, orr Saturday evening last. In one of the cars a young gentleman was seated, appar ently deeply occupied in reading a book lie held in his hand, until he got to Lancaster. At this place a very handsome young lady entered the cars and took her seat opposite to him. Before they had been long in the train, the eyes of both met, and they recognized one another as old ac quaintances when very young, having been sepa rated by their parents moving apart—those “of one to the West, and the other to Philadelphia. The two soon became enrapt in earnest conversation, fell ardently in love with one another, and by the time they arrived at Harrisburg, had resolved to be united as man and wife and travel on their jour ney to the lady’s home together. Accordingly they took lodgings at a hotel, [sent forla minister, and were united in tiie bonds of connubial bliss, and taking the next train, were off.on tlieii bridal tour. Tiie Telegraph’s informant says he is ac quainted with the parties, and that they both occu py high positions in society. The E”ruing of the Ship Cortez.

Recipes for Ladies. Rolled YVtteat for Desert. —Pick over and wash a white wheat, boil it tour hours, pul in salt tiie same as for rice; refill with boiling water, if more is needed ;”stir often the last hour, being careful not to let it burn ; -ook it dry. Some times it looks starchy when first dished, but that soon disappears. Serve hot or cold, with sweet ened sweet cream. This we think an excellent desert, and very fine for invalids. Another very rich dish for desert can be made ol a pint of wheat, cooked like tiie above ; then boil in a quart of sweet milit, one cup of sugar, one cup of raisins, currants or any fruit, (raisins ate pre ferable,) two beaten I 'eggs; cook slowly and stir until it boils; serve cold or hot, without sauce.— Or, after tiie wheat is washed, soak it in warm wa ter overnight, keep it wet till time for use, then simmer the water out of it; then add the milk and other ingredients, and cook above. Preserving Butter. —The farmers of Aber deen, Scotland, are said to practice] the following method for curing their butter, which gives it a great superiority over that of their neighbors : “Fake two quarts of the best; common sail, one ounce ofsugar, and, one of saltpetre; hike one ounce of this composition for one pound ofbulter ; vvork well into the mass and close it up for use.— The butter cured with this mixture appears of rich and marrowy substance and fine color, and ac quires a little hardnes. Dr. Anderson says: ‘I have eaten the butter cured with the above’com position that has been kept for four years, audit was as sweet as at first.’ It oiust be noted, how ever, that- butter that is Ihns cured requires to stand three weeks ora mouth before it is used.— If it is sooner opened, the salt is not* sufficiently blended with it, and sometimes the coolnes ot the nitre will be preceived, which totally disappears afterwards.” Blackberry Brandy. —The most'singular sub stance submitted to our editorial inspection lately is a bottle of brandy, made by Dr. Teague, of this village, of blackberries. It is a limpid, colorless liquid, of most agreeable odor and highly pungent taste. It seems to be a decidedly better brandy than that made oi the peach, and there is no mor difficulty in its manufacture. It may be that the blackberry will yet become one ofour most valuae ble natural productions. In itself, it is a healthful, almost a medicinal berry. The cordial and jams made of it are thought worthy ofa place among the various preparations ofthe medical dispensary; and we do not see why blackberry brandy shnold not also become a most useful well as very genial drink. YY'e trust our enterprising friend will push the matter on to success. He might thus perhaps inaike an era in the history siimulatiiig beverages. As at present tested, a bushel of blackberries will make lull half gallon of first-ra’e liquor, without the foreign aid of strvehnine, o any other poi sonous agent.— Edgefield Adieru.- r. ’ &s“ln speaking of the five great objects ot life Sir YVm.

PEYTON H. COLQUITT, ) JAMES W. WAEKEN. \ Editors, Number 32 Terrible Death of a Child by Hydrophobia—Bitten by a Cat, 1 Tiie Peoria (III..) Transcript gives an account of the death, by hydrophobia, of a very interesting cliild, the daughter of Mr. Ileury S. YY'ooder, of Mount Hawley, six miles from that city, between eight and nine years of age, on Friday morning last. The following are the particulars: On Tuesday of last week, Sirah Ellen returned from school, and complained of feeling unwell, so much so that she did not attend on ihe following day, although still able to be about the house. Thursday she was no better, and her parents think ing she was threatened with the typhoid fever, sent for Dr. Murphy, of tills city. The Doctor arrived there about 2 o’clock in tiie afternoon, and found her sitting upon ihe sofa at the side of her mother, to ali appearances in perlect health ; her pulse, however, was very irregular with an occasional wildness in the eyes, and it was not long before she gave a sudden start, and placing her hand upon her throat exclaimed, “It troubles me to breathe mother.” Minute inquiries were now instituted, when tiie fact was elicited wiiich had not bean previously thought of, that some 5 weeks since she had been bitten by a domesticated cat on the outside of her loot. A glass of water was ordered to be brought her, when the sight of it at once threw her into terrible convulsions. This was at two o’clock in the afternoon, and was the first intimation had by her distracted parents of tiie terrible disease with which their daughter was afflicted. Her agony and struggles, in tiie spasms were awful to behold, and in one of them she hit her mother severely in the shoulder, and at another time, scratched the father badly in the hand. In her spasmodic efforts, the saliva from her mouth was at times ejected across the room, and the only relief experienced was by the it-e of chloroform, w hich, in the end, seemed to lose al! efficacy. She remained all the time in perfect possession of her faculties, and at three o’clock on Friday morning, exactly 12 hours from the attack of the first spasm, her spirit depar ted io the God who gave it. And now comes the most remarkable incident connected with this hcartrendering affair. tSome four hours previous to her death, ami soon after one of tier most violent spasms, she told her moth er t hat she had been visited by the spirit of her sister, (thr* family are believers in Spiritualism,) who left this earth for the belter and about one year since, and that this sister had informed her of certain remedies, which, if applied, would relieve her sufferings and smooth her passage to the tomb. The remedies were applied as soon as possible, and, strange to reiaie, the. desired effect was produced. She was freed from her convulsive fits, was ena bled to breathe easier, converse freely with her pa rents and friends, occasionally drinking a little wa ter, and finally gently tailing into her last sleep. Amalgamation Marriages in Boston. —The Boston matrimonial register shows ihat during the last year sixty amalgamation marriages took place in that city; and strni ge to say, they were white women with black or colored men. In no instance has a white mail been registered as hav ing taken to wife a colored woman. Tiie white ladies of Boston and thereabouts hate singular tastes; certainly they teem to relish black kisses from all accounts, with peculiar gusto, and black or colored husbands are becoming a Inglily popular institution among them. Gan anything prove more conclusively ihe growing degeneracy in point of morality and decency, ol pious, proper New Eng land, than this horrible fanaticism, which strikes at the root of every tiling like purity, and tends to un dermine the divine laws of nature? YVhen woman —the safe guard of virtue and purity— stoops thus to degrade herself, perverting the womanhord within her, tiie degradation of man, as a necessary consequence, must follow. —New York Despatch. Reception of Humphrey Marshall. —The cere monies upon the wharf, when Humphrey Marshall put foot onshore, were very imposing. In behalf of those upon whom the announcement in the Journal had made a deep impression, Robert F. Baird made a glorious speech. He took his stand upon the wharf, and as the huge form of Humph rey darkened his vision he lifted up his voice and spoke as follows: MR. Baird’s SPEECH. “How are you, Colonel ?” To this most touching and eloquent reception, Humphrey made the following appropriate alid fitting reply: MR. MAIISHALLS REPLY. “Ilow do you do, Bob?” These beautiful speeches were taken down as delivered, by our special phonographic reporter, and they may he implicitly relied upon. So soon as Mr. Marshall finished his reply, he got into a carriage and drove to the Louisville Hotel, leaving Mr. Baird to take care of himself. YY’e sent down to the hotel soon afterwards to learn what was going on, and Mr. Marshall was repoited in bed and asleep.— Louisville Courier. Increased Annual British Emigration to the United States. —The annual report of the Brit ish Emigration Commissioners, just published, states the total emigration from the United King dom for the past year to have been 212,875,51i0w a moderate increase on the tw’o proceeding years, but still falling off 126,949 from the average ofthe four years from 1851 to 1854. The number of emigrants who returned from the United States during the year was 15,448, of whom 11,154 ar rived in the last half of the year during the pro gress of the commercial crisis. Last year the re mittances Iro.n the United States by previous Irish emigrants to enable their friends to join them, amounted to only £ 94.165, while the average of the proceeding ten years was about one million sterling.

This railway tunnel, the greatest work of modern times, is to be completed in six years; and as the French writer well says, when it is finished there will be no Alps.
