Abebst or Honaon Grxelet nr Paris.— Horace Greeley was arrested in Paris, on the 2d of Jane, and kept in tha debtor's prison till Monday, at tha instance of a French exhibitor at the New York Crystal Palace, whose goods bring broken and injured, thought proper to sue for damages; the first director who presen ted himself being Greeley, ha was arrested. The suit was heard on tha 4th of Jane, when Greeley was, of course, set at liberty. He is frightfully wroth, and is arid to ba preparing a document of toe most stirring sort for the Tribune. His own aeeonnt will, of course, be better worth eoppying than any other. [From the N. Y. Evening Mirror. Lug Diseases-Dr. Banter. Our readers have, doubtless, all read the ae ries of interesting letters contributed to the Mirror, for some time past, by Dr. Robert Hun ter, whose system of "Inhalation in too treat ment of Diseases of the Chest”—though but for a short time introduced to the American public—has, by its uniform success, even in cases pronounced incurable by other modes of treatment secured a favor with the pobtie, and the medical fraternity even, seldom vouchsafed to an innovation on "Medical usages.” In deed, we doubt if any greater revolution in the treatment of a class of diseases, has ever occur red in thisoountry. To diseases of the longs and chest—consump tion, bronchitis, Ac.,—the American people bare a general and, it would seem, chronic in clination. Whether it results must from care lessness in dress, or in diet, or mainly from a want of care in both, as wall as in habits of ex- we cannot say—but wo know, from keep ing an qye to the mortality bills, that long and chest diseases are the ruling diseases of this country. And wbat is more, they have, here tofore, mainly baffled the skill of onr medical faculty, tangbing tar-water, cod-liver oil, and all it" sort of thing to acorn. The accession of Dr. Hunter, therefore, to onr medical ranks, with a system of practice that promises to re does if not obliterate the triumphant power of consumption and its cognates, is bailed with more than satisfaction. Dr. Hunter is a pbysition, who has ventured into toe field with no less modesty than ability, making no pretention that he was not justified by sound argument and successful practice.— Right hera* to oar midst, he has met toe ■'in curables,” and restored them to pristine health. He has so multiplied witnesses in bis behalf that he might have rested on "testimonials,” and been rare of practice to his heart’s content But be has taken a broader and nobler view in relation to his doty, as the institutorofa valua ble new system in connexion with toe healing art. He has desired not only to practice it himnalfj hot to commend it to the medical fra tornity, certain that, when their prejudices should be overcome, they, too, would join with him in its practice. He wished to serge the poblieinthe largest way possible. Of coarse we know nothing of the medicaments used by Dr. Hnntor, nor can we discourse technically upon bis mode of treatment; we only know that by inhalation he reaches disease as it has nev er before been reached, and that, to tha patient, it has not only curative but at the same time the most agreeable mode of treatment. Our reader* have, however, been enlightened by Dr. H/s letter* more than they would be by any thing we could say. A very able article, or summary of bis system, appears in toe March nnmber of the American Medical Gazette, edi ted by Dr. Meredith Reese. We have not space here to copy this article, as we would like to do, but is worthy of toe attention of every one. In introducing the letter to his readers, Dr* Reese says: "We insert his (Dr. Hunter’s) letter with pleasure, addressed as it is to the profession, who will know how to appreciate it. It will serve ns, moreover, as an answer to many of onr distant subscribers who have written to ns for information on the subject. They cannot fall to discriminate between Dr. Hunter’s scien- snd toe paltry ebariataotam of certain quacks, whose grandiloquent advertisements of 'lung vapor in packages,* Ae^ merit only contempt, and whose employment of Inhalation is calcn. lated to bring the practice into disrepute.” The Herald says, in copying toe above men* tioned letter; "The article^* dear, well written end sensible, and b addressed by Dr- Honter to bis brethren of toe profession at large, as an explicit declar ation of tfae principles on wbicb be practices CuEtout Ttpographioal Error nt tm Bi slx.—Prof. Trenoh, in hit tateat work on the English language, points out a curious typo graphical error in the 20th verse of the 23d obapter of Matthew. The worde "which strain at a goat and swallow a camel,'* the professor thinks contain a misprint, whtoh having besn passed over in the edition of 1611, has held its ground ever sines. The translators intended to say, "whloh strain out a gnat and swallow a camel,” that bring tbs eorrect rendering of the original, as appears in Tynsdsle’s and Gran mar’s translations, both of whlob have "strain* ed oat.” It was the custom of the stricter Jews to strain thsir wine, vinegar, and other porta bles, through linen or ganse, lest unaware! they should drink down some little nnolesn in sect as a gnat, and tons transgress the Levitioal law. It was to this custom the Savior alluded intending tosay that the Soribesand Pharisees, while they strain out a gnat from their drink, would yet swallow a camel at a gulp. Editors in Court.—Mr. Sheriff, call Mr. Howard of toe Atlanta Intelligencer. A neat, well dressed gentleman, of fine ex pre sion of countenance, indicating firmness and intelligence, enters the oonrt-room. "Call Britton of the Advertiser and Gazette. "Here !” answers a tolerably good looking fellow, with rather an impudent-air. By permission of the public we shall eateehise these gentlemen, in regard to too case of toe people of the South vs. the Pierce Stock Job bing Company. "Mr. Howard, be good enough to give us your attention. Are yon a Southern man ? "Bone and gristle!” (This with toe air that makes yon believe it) Canyon inform us who is the Governor of Kansas at the present time ?” "Howard finsfaes ups little, and says that ha cannot say with absolute certaioty. "Pray give us your best impression on the subject.” "Well, sir, I believe—I fear—that Gov. Ree der is still the Executive of that Territory. "Ah, indeed!” Can yon tell, Mr. Howard, who appointed Reeder to role over Kansas ?” Brittain at this point begins to shuffle into a corner, mattering very savagely. Mr. Howard answers with a jerk: "The Administration, sir!” "The present able, constitutional, Democrat ic Administration—is it?” "The same, sir!”- “Then, I suppose, Governor Reeder is a cor rect exponent of the- principles and practice of the administration, so far a* politics—and espe cially the subject of stavety—is concerned V’ “Yon know he ain’t!” growls Britain. Howard replies: “He is not, in my opinion; and I beg to say that only a short time since, I was assured by a distinguished member of the administration, that Reeder would be removed, and notauffered to go back to Kansas.” "Vety good. Mr. Brittain, yon say very em phatically that Reeder is not a true exponent of (he principles of the administration—pray, in what does be fail to exhibit their views ?" "He’s a d-d freesoiler, and imposed himself on Pieroe. The administration, Hearn has for ced him to resign f ” "Ah. well wasn't toe administration forced by the clamor of the South, to ask him to resign ? Both Witnesses: “No! this constitutional Democratic administration became satisfied that e was a freesoiler and bad attempted to swin dle the 8outh out of Kansas and told him, mere motn. to walk the plank!” . "Mr. Brittain, as yon hare some papers under vonr arm. will yon be kind enough to examine if you have any from New York, of the 26th Jane, lost?* "I have.” "Any notice of Reeder, therein ?” "I find,” says Brittain, actually blushing a deep purple blush, '‘that Governor Reeder pass ed through that city, en rente for Kansas, on the 15th inst., accompanied by his private see retary.” “Then he hasn’t resigned nor isn’tremoved ?" "Sposenot—but wbat the devil business have you to do with whether this Democratic admin istration removes Reeder or not—your’e no Dem. ocrat!” "Holdon! Have yon heard any thing (*s per correspondence of the Charleston Standard) to the effect that bis associates, Judges John, son and Elmore and Attorney General Isaacs, will also be driven out, in order to place the whole charge on toe absnrd pretence (as to them) of “official speculation,” and to convince the freesoilers that Reeder was not removed for being a freesoiler?” a "At this juncture, both editors hear a noise in the street, and being afraid somebody will get hurt out there, rush incontinently forth into the cool air—and break up the investigation.” tricts. His avoidance of every indication of empiricism, and bis rational diagnosis of all affections of the threat and lungs, with fata ve- ry successful application of remedial agents in toe shape of medicated vapor, have caused Dr. Hnntor to he already patronised by some of onr leading physicians, and bis boose is dally crow ded with patients.” But onr purpose, io this article, was not to Introduce special testimony, or to argue Dr. Hontor*e claims in any special way. With thousands of others, we have been interested io bta system, more by the universality of its suc cess and the blessing it promised, than on any andall other aee'onte. To the real servitor pf toe public—the friend of humanity-'we have never been wanting in eology. We regard Dr. Hunter as a distinguished member of this class Hard Treatment—The Christian Advocate says: A Roman Catbolie Priest was recently brought before amagtatrate In Chicago, charg ed with beating and otherwise abusing a wo man, a member of bta cbnreb, for refosing to take her children from the free school, at bta bidding. The defence set up was, that tfae transactions of toe Confessional were to be kept secret; that toe woman knowing fatasolemn oh- igation, was nnwortby of belief!

The mem ory of these will be revered and their deeds re. membered with gratitude as long as the Repub lic endures. But while the anties parade the names of tho few who fought for American lib- srty—tbe right to think, to speak, and to act— why don’t they tell us of the many who came to this country and fought against American lib erty in the same war ? Why don’t tney tell us of tha{gn thousand Hessians, who were not sub jects *»., and owed no allegiance to the govern ment with which the American colonies were at war? These came to fight against liberty and for tyrany and oppression, and their deeds of inhumanity, blood-shed, and repine, cannot be recurred to even at tbtafdistant day without caU- ing op a thrill of horror. But fewsnch as La Fayette and his, compatriots come to oar coun try, while bnndreds of thousands just like the Hessians, are yearly landed upon onr shores jnst as Ignorant of onr institutions and as much prejudiced against ns as those of their country men who fought on the side of despotism in the days of the Revolution. And so of the Catho' lio feature. They toll of a comparatively few good citizens who are Catholics, some of whom have already and would again peril their lives ini defence of the country, but not a word have they to say of the myriads yearly coming against ns,, nineteen-twentieths of whom immovably believe that tocir first allegiance is to the Pope of Borne, and who would, were he to bid them to-morrow, attempt to tear down the "Stan and Stripes” and flnant the banner of St Peter in its place. Away with all such arguments—they are not worth serious notice.—Athens Post. A Word to Boy*. Who is respected? It is the boy who eon. duots himself well, who is honest, diligent, and obedient in all things. It la the boy who is making an effort continually to reepeet bis fa ther, and to obey him, whatever be may direot to bv done. It Is tbs boy who leaves no effort untried to improve himself in knowledge and, wisdom every day, who is busy and aetive In endeavoring to do good acts towards others.— Show me a boy who obeys bta parents, who is diligent, who rospeots age, who always has a friendly disposition, and who applies himself diligently to get wisdom, and to do good towards others; and, Tf he is not respeoted and beloved by everybody, then, there is no such thing as troth in this world. Remember this, boys, and yon will be respected by others, and grow np and become nsefal men. A Yankee poet thus describes tbe excess of his devotion to his tree love: I sing her praise in poetry; For her at morn and eve, I ories whole pints of bitter tears, And wipes them with my sleeve.

Latino in Liquor.—The New York Mirror, says of toe approach of tbe day, the fourth of July, on which the Law proposes to stop the grog of toe New Yorkers : As the day of doom to toe Liqnor Trade draws near, onr citizens are laying in "private stocks,*' to last them until the despotie enactment is re* pealed.

Tax Beautiful.—Its realms are infinite, and its reign is absolute. Reality and Ideality ac knowledge its sovereignty, and meekly bow at its throne. It is in the purest and noblest sen timents that gush from the heart, and in the inspiration of great thought. It hangs upon the harp of poetry, and bursts forth from the lips of eloquence. It is delineated on canvass, and chiseled on marble* It is in the floating clondlet, and in the "darkly bending wing of tha tempest." It is in the little water-fall, and in the thundering cataract. It is in the stare that gem the "girdle of toe year," and in the jewels in Flora’s orown. It sits upon a crimson throne in the east at the dose of the day, and dances with "rosy fingered Aurora” at the gates of morning. Landscapes lie in the unbroken forest, and beneath the dark rolling waves of old ooean diamonds and pearls lie buried.— Among the cragged rocks of the mountain, woodbines and flowers grow, and down in too black mud of the swamps toe beautiful face of tbe lilly is seen. Wherever the eye turns, it unfolds itself. Learning and science are keys to its exhibitions. It is in the meekness of Christianity; the hallelojahs and prayers which go np as an incense to God. It is in innocent chiihood, gay youth, grave man hood, and helpless age. Heaven is the perfec tion of the BeautifuL—Ex. Somebody says a wife should like roast lamb —be tender and nicely dressed. A scamp adds 'and without sauce." The total number of votes east at the munici pal election in San.

Niaora Falls, June 23. Fatal Accident at Niaora Falls.—A man went over the American Falls this morning.— He was in the act of landing a skiff just above the rapids when he was carried away by the cur rent and his boat capsized.

Characteristic Anecdote.—During the last session of Congress, a man, wall known as deep ly interested in the Mail steamer bill then be fore tbe house, approached Mr. Benton while he was walking in Pennsylvania avenue, and said, "Good morning Mr. Benton.” The salute was returned. “I see the Mail-steamer bill is ta up to-day.” "Yes sir." "Benton, eould’nt you bo prevailed upon to go for the employment of more steamors by the government ?” "Yes, sir, upon one condition.” The fellow smiled, as if he was going to get a "Roland” of a sug gestion for his "Oliver" of a bribe. “Aye, on one condition-that they could be used to trans port suoh rascals as you are to some distant pe> nal colony.” The old paradox about "beauty unadorned” has much truth in it, and is very pointedly and prettily rendered in the following epigram: "As lamps burn silent with unconscious light, So modest ease in beauty shines more bright, Unaiming charms with force resistless fall, And she who meant no misohief, does it all I” From tbe Texas Christian Advooats. Tbe American Platform on Slavery, Ths readers of the Advooate will find, In onr Telegraphic intelligence, tha resolutions of the recent American Convention at Philadelphia on tfae subjeot of slavery. At tbe present time—when we are threatened with civil war in Kansas; when the Abolitionists arc succeed ing in electing, in most of tbe Northern States, Congressman pledged to the repeal of tbe Fu gitive Slave law; when this whole array is also pledged, not only to tbs repeal of tbe Nebraska- Kansas BUI, but, also, to the prevention of the admission into the Udlon of any more slave States; and when, as all most see, their tncceae would certainly resalt in a dissolution of the Union, if not In civil war;—at suoh a time as the present, such resolutions—embodying, as thsy do, the only doctrines, on thU subjeot, upon which this government can ever be ad ministered, consistently with the Union of toe Statee,—are of the deepest interest to every true Christian and patriot, whether Northern or Southern. As a Christian journalist, we have nothing to do with parties. Wo eare nothing for the Whigs, Democrats, or Know-Nothings, as such. But we do care for the integrity of the Union of these 8tates. We do care for tbe welfare of this great oonntry, given us by our Heaven ly Father as a "heritage,” and now threatened with ruin by a vandal fanaticism* We have no more interest in the success of one party than another; but we ore interested in tbeano- cess of doctrines that will promote the peace and harmony of our country; we are interested in the otter ruling out of tbe slavery agitation, whiob toe devil has incited the abolitionists to throw, as an "apple of discord,” into onr midst; and so are onr children, and onr ehildren’s children, to toe latest generation. We are not interested in parties; but we are interested in the principles; and no party ongbt to be sup ported by any national man, North or South, that does not openly, unequivocally, and boldly, take ground against tbe slavery agitation, and in favor of the existing laws and compromises on that subject We have no opinion to express in reference to other doctrines of this, or any other party: and we do not approve these doctrines because of the source from which they emanate. We approve them because they are right and true, and good; and because they are calculated to save our country, and too cause of God in our country, from great injury, if not from destine- tion. We should approve them with equal heartiness if they emanated from either of the other parties; indeed we earnestly hope they also Twill adopt them. We do not speak as a politician, bat as a Christian and a citizen. It is time for the people of these United States to learn, that the North and the South never can, and never wiU agree on this subject, and that toe only hope of peace is—to let the whole subject alone, as these insolations de termine—to let both slavery and free-soilism have an eqnal ohanee in the settlement of onr new territories, and to let new States come into the Union, with slavery or anti-slavery const!* tations, as they may desire. This is all toe South has ever asked for. and this she will have, cost wbat it may; and this she ought to have; nothing hut She sheerest tyranny and injustice could refoso her this equality. Furthermore, slavery will not go where it ta not demanded by t v eaoil. climate, and production* of the coon* try; but where itta thu» demanded, there it will eo, despite all opposition; indeed, tbe op position will bat hasten its establishment From tbe Waverly Magazine. "OFT IN THE STILL NIGHT.” That plaintive song, It thrills my son!, With wild, with tad delight!

Three yean ago Louis Napoleon, find ing that bta army was not able to read, adver- verttaed for a contract to teach tbe soldiers. A single gentleman undertook tbe contract. He asked for no books; nothing bat slates and pencils. He bronght np ths men in line and pointed and at hta dictation they learned tfae alphabet, and then to read. He then asked for one single tract. He was permitted to choose, and he selected, as preferable to all tracts in the language of man, the Gospel of St John.

He says: Parties are many in America. They rise like mushrooms and fade like mist Every Presidential election brings a crop of them they rage for a day—are heard of for a week— and forgotten in a month. Such are tbe Sew. ards and tbe Fillmoroites—the Hards tbe Softs, and many more. These come np with certain men, and fall ontof right when the men do so other parties remain—like toe Free-soilers and Pro-slavers, because they represent ideas—per- smify conflicts—which are Tpermanett on the American soil. Most of these parti** are well known in Eng land, and they are all worth studying; for the politics of America are the politics of the fu ture. As toe French diplomatist observed tbe other day, L’Avier set Anglo-Saxon. _ _ The la The only flaw wa can discover in these res-1 tost party in theUnlon is tbe party facetiously . ** . ^ . mm I am Ik a \T ..At!- olutions is toe refosal to express an opinion as to whether or not Congress ha* tbe right to legislate on slavery in toe Territories. This, we think an inconsistency, though, there may have been good reason for it The resolutions as a whole, however, are as unequivocally sound as they could possibly be. From the palpable abolitionism of toe Northern wing of this party, as manifested in the recent elections, we had lost all faith in their adoption of such national and conservative ground. As to the troth or falsehood of tne charges made against it in reference to other things, we know nothing; known as the Know Nothing party—a name whioh the party accepts in tbe large spirit of contempt in which the Puritans received their hietorical designation. All things considered, the Know Nothings are the most impressive development of American life.—Hitherto, A- merica has been a refuge for tbe outcast of ail nations—the home of all who fled from debt, from tyranny, from starvation, from justice.

Their cry is, "America for the Americans!”—And surely this cry is reasonable as "Italy for the Italians,” or "Hungary for the Hungarians.” The new party ta a protest against Irish political profli gacy, and against Jesuit influence in America. They seek to deprive the immigrant hordes of the means of mischief. Their motto ta " Pro tection to all,—Power to the American born.” A Jollt Life.—Insects, generally, must lead a truly jovial life.

Have they died out—left toe State—concealed themselves in some cave, or have they, for the sake of spoils, changed their principles?

The Administration condemned by Dem ocrats. At a meeting of the National Democrats of New York, Wednesday last, the following reso lution was adopted: Resolved, That we reiterate onr oplnfon for merly expressed, tost to the course of the pres ent Administration are due all the disasters and defeats which toe Democrstie party has expe rienced for the past two years; that the Ad ministration baa insulted and outraged the great national sentiment of the' American peo ple, and tbat tbe only safety of tbe Democracy and of toe whole oonntry now lies in an un conditional repudiation of toe Administration, in toe nomination for President by the next National Democratic Convention of rom< sonnd national man well known to and confided in by the eoontry as suqh, and in the adoption of a platform which shall famish farther guarantees of toe rights and interests of every portion of the Union, and which shall resist the aggress ions of Northern sectionalism upon the rijebt* of tbs Sooth and restore tranquility to the whole nation. Daniel S.

Mr. Parris, their candidate of last year, declined a renomi nation.—The Convention, according to ths Portland Advertiser, encountered eomedfficnlty in passing a resolution endorsing toe present Administration for its adhesion to the ancient landmarks of toe Democratic party. To this resolution tbe chairman of the committee dis sented, as implying an indorsement of the Mis souri compromise. After several speeches bsd been made, an amendment was adopted as fol lows : " It being understood that this resolution ta expressive of no opinion ntfon the repeal Of the Missouri compromise.” The resolution was then passed.

Counterfeit money, eonld be opened at the request of the po lice authorities, in order that the money contain ed therein might he identified as the same as that passed by tbe prisoner, and that tons far ther evidence might be famished to aid In hta convietsion and punishment. The Postmaster General replied, emphatically, faaths could not; that he had no right, nor any officer under him, to open any letter until it reached the Dead Let ter office, and ‘that this principle mnst be al ways acted upon by those in the employment of the Department Judge Hall, of New York, formerly Postmaster General, gave a decision a few days ago that a letter in the mails oould net be opened under any circumstances. Touching Incident.—Many years ago we knew a yonng man, the son of a widow.

By the accidents of life we were separated for several years. The other day we met him in the streets of Colum- bu?. He was prematurely gray, his eye had lost its fire; his form its manly grace; he was a victim of intemperance. He advanced to meet us with ao unsteady step and grasped onr hand with the cordiality of Lang Syne, bnt hta hand was hot with the liquid fire that preyed upon his vitals. Looking ns in the face, tears started to his eyes, as he exclaimed in deep ear nestness—“For God’s sake—vote for Overby for Governor of Georgia.”— Colombo* Times 4b Sentinel.

A most Melancholy Catastrophe.—Wo fiind the following pathetic paragraph in the Baltimore Sun: Yesterday morning, about four o’clock, P. M., a small man named Jones, or Brown, or Smith, with a heel in the hole of hta trowsere, com* mitted arsenic by swallowing a dose of snlolde. The verdict of the inquest returned a jury that the deoeased came to hta fact in accordance to his death. He leaves a child and six small wives to lament the loss of his untimely end. In death we are in the midst of life. As tho fly that plays about the candle doth of. ten burn his wings at last, so the Christian that parleys with temptation, is in danger of having the wings of his soul shortened to rise again to ward heaven till God shall give him renewed af* fections. It Is a law which God himself has made, that the arrow whioh is shot from the persecutor’s bow shall rebound and pierce the persecutor's heart. A man will be what his most oherisbed feel* ings are. If he enoourages a noble generosity, every feeling will be enriched by it; if he nuns bitter and envenomed thoughts, hta ewm spirit will absorb tfae poison; and he will emwt among men as a burnished adder, wheee life b misohief, and whose errand is death. Cuban Junta.—The N. Y. Sun asserts that many of the chief men of the fillibnster party have swindled tho Cabans out of all the money sent to this country for the purpose of equipping the expedition. Very grave charges are made against Gen. Quitman, as a participant In this nefarious transaction. We do not donbt, how ever, that tho old soldier may he able entirely to explain away any suspicions resting upon bis conduct. — 1 mt ■- ■Hi
