SAMUEL B. METHVIN, Adm’r. February 8th, 1861. 38 9t. A King dtnrn in the Hatchway.—One day, when the flag ship of an Americai Commodore was lying in the bay of N; - pies," she was Honored by a visit from thi KJng and royal family, witIi suite, xvL. came out in gilded barges and full pa rad • of royalty. The ship was dressed from deck to trunk in holiday attire; side boys xrere mustered at the ropes, the marine* presented arms, tho guns thundered forth a royal salute, and the Commodore wel comed his guest to the quarter-deck with tbe politeness befitting an officer ot rank. - fine of the suite, a spindled-shanked and gaudily-attired Neapolitan, strayed from tbe party, and cruising about midships, espied a windsail, an object lie bad never seen before. It was fully expanded by the air; lie took it for a pillar, and folding hi* aims, leaned against it, when it yielded to his weight, and he disappeard below, heels over head, xvith a velocity that was actu ally marvellous, as was escape from injury. '1 iiis mishap chanced to have only one witness, this was a veteran tar, who ap proaching tiie quarter deck, and touching Iiis hat, said respectfully, “I beg pardon. Commodore, but otic of them kings has fell down the hatchway. The Great “Salve” Certificate — Hall's Journal of Health lias tho following xvbicb “speaks for itsell:” Dear Doctor'. I xvll! be one hundred end seventy-live years old next October. For nine’y-four years I have been an invalid, unable, to move except when stirred xvith a lever. But a year ago last Thursday I heard of the Grauicular Sirup. I bought j a bottle, smelt of the cork, and found my- \ sely a new man 1 can now run twelve ' and a half miles an hour, and throw nine- j teen double somersets without stopping. P. S.—A little of your Alicumstone j Salve, applied to a wooden leg, reduced a compand fracture in nineteen minutes, and is now covering tbe limb with a fresh cuticle of white gum pine bark. Hordes of degrees t owing. Hordes of free negroes are every day coming North, the Slave States not being xvilling to harbor any longer such adjuncts of Black Republicanism. Last week, eighteen of these “citizens,” (as the Re publicans call them) arrived in Columbus, and seventy-five in Zauesville. 1 lie le gitimate effect of this immigration will be to degrade and prostrate white labor at the Notili, reduce the wages of our mechanics and all kinds of opeiatives to the standard of the “pauper labor” of Europe. Labor ing men who voted for Lincoln, how do you like these “first fruits” of tbe great Republican Victory?—Cambridge ( Ohio) Jerjfrsonian. Tbe Chicago Times dose not appear to be very proud of Mr Lincoln,s travliug speeches. It says—“We confess that we can augur little good from the first speech of Mr Liucoln, delivered at Indianapolis. Mr Lincoln is doubtless a respectable jury lawyer and a man of talent; but he is not a statesman. He has never uttered one word or line that indicated that breadth of comprehension and power of generalization necessary to a statesman. He exhibits humor, tact, and the ingenuity of a special pleader. We read this first speech of Mr. Lincoln, and longed to find somthing in it savoring of tbe lofty feeling and patriotic utterances of Douglas and Seward. We \x ere sadly disappointed. Not one noble thought rises above the level of thin con ceits and diluted anil special pleading.— Mr. Lincoln does not come out in a hold and manly way, and grapple with the diffi culties which surround him, hut quitks, and hints, and suggests. He tells the people that the words coercion and inva sion are much used tn these days,’ and then asks them what these words mean, lie then quibbles at length upon the meaning of these words, and attempts fee bly to ridicule his adversaries in His ver bal criticism. After tkroxving forth a va riety of hints in an interrogative form, he concludes by saying: ‘Fellow-citizens, I am not asserting anything; I am merely asking questions for you to consider. ‘Oh, no! of course not. I his ‘honest old Abe’ would by no means assert anything. There is no need of asserting anything; t lie country is not at all in dangei; there is not tbe slightest necessity for taking position. It is only necessary to play upon the words ‘coercion’and ‘invasion,’ and quiz the peo ple a little upon abstract questions aud the definition of words.” Sweet Almond.—It is a matter of much astonishment that the easy culture of this tree has been neglected. It xvill bear abundant crops in any State south of tbe Potomac. It flourishes in ordinary light soils, sandy or otherwise.

Georgia Stale (oafration.

Resolved, That neither Gen. Twiggs nor Col. Hardee require any vindication among their old friends and neighbors in Georgia; their defence may be found written by tbe jioint of the sword upon the battle fields of their country and upon the scarred forms of her enemies, yet this Convention but yields to s natural impulse when it expres ses the scorn with which the people ol Georgia look upon all attempts of an Abo lition press and a venal and fanatical Gov ernment to tarnish their fame and to filch from them the rewards of long lives of glo nous and heroic actions.

Sew Discovering a Thief. After Lorenzo Dow had retired to his mom, after n hard day's travel, in the western part of \ irgiaia, a number of persons collected in the oar-room to enjoy their usual revelries, as wag the custom in that part of the country. At a late our in the night, the alaiui was given that one ot company bod lost his pocket-book and a search proposed. Whereupon the landlord remarked, rhat Lorenzo Dow was in the house, and that it * lie moucy via# there lie knew that Lorenzo cettld find it. The suggestion was instantly received wi 1 bap:.rotation, and accordingly Mr, Dow was trouseti from iiis slumber, and brought forth to find he money. As he entered the room, his eyes ran .hrongh the company xvith searching inquiry, hui nothing appeared tiiat could fix guilt upon any one I'ht- loser appeared with a countenance expressive of great concern, and besought Mr. Dow, foi heaven's soke, to find the money. “Lave any left the company since you lost youi money?” said Mr. Dow. “None," said the loser, “none.” “Then." said Lorenzo, turning to the landlord ‘go and bring me a large dinner pot ’’ This created no little surprise. But as super natural powers were universally conceded, his directions were unhesitatingly obeyed. Accord mgiy the pot was brought forward, and set iu the middle of the room “Now,9 said Lorenzo, “go and bring the old chic ken-cock from the roost.” '1 his was also done, and at Lorenzo's directions, the cock was placed iu the pot, and covered over with a board or lid. “Let the doors noxv be fastened and tbe lights extinguished,” said Mr. Dow, xvhich was a.so done. “Noxv,” said lie, “every person in the room must rub his hands hard against the pot, and when tin guilty hand touches, the cock xvill crow.” Accordingly, all came forward, and rubbed, o: pretended to rub agaiust tiie pot. But no cock crowed. “Let the candles now be lighted,” said Lo renzo, “there is no guilty person here. If the man had any money , he must have lost it some place else. But s op,” said Lorenzo, when al things were prepared, “let us now examine the hands ” This was the important part of his arrange ment. For on exaniinat on, it was found thatoni man had not rubbed agaiust the pot. The others' hands being black wi ii the aoot from the pot, was a proof ot their inaoct nee. “ I here,” s id Lorenzo, pointing to the man with clean bauds, “there is the man wbo picked youi pocket.” The culprit, seeing his detection, at once ac- knoxvledged his guilt, and gave up tbe money. Astronomical Phenomena for 1861.—The American Almanac for 1861, published this week at Boston by Crosby, Nichols, Lee and Company, contains a variety «>f astronomical and meteorolgi ca! intelligence The eclipses there recorded have already been noticed in our columns, aud we find nothing especially new or original in an astro nomical pniut of view in this issue of the Al manac except the tide table, tables ot tbe passage by the planets of Meridian (mean time) and thr-ii of transit; also all articles are derived from other sources; In reference to the tides, it is computed in this Almanac by the formula of La Place that the highest tides of 1861, according to the Washing ton mean-time of new or full Moon, will bo those i>f February 21!, March 26. April 24, Oct. 4, and Nov. 2. The actual rise, however depends npon the strength and direction of the wind; so that the above estimates area very uncertain approxima tion for tlic coast of the United States. It may be useful to sum up from other sources, intelligence in reference to this period of the as tronomieal year. On tiie 20th ot March the Bun cnteisthe constellation Aries; the planes of the equator aud tbe ecliptic become coincident; the centre of tbe sun is directly opposite the centre ot the earth, and the Astronomical Spring com niencrs. the day and the night being equal. As the Earth advances to the East, the great stars which have adorned the North and the East dur ing the brilliancy of winter evenings, seem ad vancing further to the West; Altaiie, Vega and Denib appear no longer iu tiie evening horizon, but w ill couie again in tiie East; Oriuo with his belt and I’ieiads with their sweet influences, seek earlier repose behind the Western horizon. There are: therefore, now portions of starless space in the celesiiri vault toxvmds the East at certaiu periods of the night, and the glories of the firma ne nt seem to concentrate near w here the Sun sets, and iu the frequent company of the Moon decended to the Horizon. The grert circumpolar coustella lions do not go below the horizou; Perseu*. Andromeda and ihe gn at Regains, have all passed the meridian; Cassiopeia nestles close to the Little Bear, and the North btar stands on a lino horizontal with the pointers of the Dipper, at mid-night. It ia one of the proofs of tin translation of theSolai system through space, tli.it four thousand years ago, a star in Draco was the Polestar. while it is ascertained that in some thirteen thousand years Vega xvill be tbe point at which the maguetic needle will be directed. As to the iilaneis visible. Jupiter and Saturn al about 5 P. Al., rise near each other. The Earth moves in a narrower orbit and with a swittei motion, which causes them to appear earlier night hy ingot, both having passed tiie meridian on ilit i’.ith of February, witbiu about an hour of each other.

Family Vicissitude. Tbe Templcliousc estates of tlic late Colonel Perceval, iu the county of Sligo with the family demesne, purchased some years since l>y Mr. Hall Dare, have been rrpurchaed by a member of the family, Mr. Alex Perceval, of the great house of Jardine, Matheson & Son, of Hong Kong, a younger son of the late Colonel Perceval. The late Col. Perceval, as is known, was one of the principal gentry of the county of Sligo, but, like many others of his class change of circumstances occurred, and his estates had to be sold. The Colonel’s eldest son had a commission in the Guards and another son was placed in the count ing house ot an eminent London firm.— Very likely some of the Colonel’s aristo cratic friends in the country considored it a “great fall” when his son entered npon his duties in the counting house; but years rolled on, and we now find this man of bus iness in a position to step forward and re purchase the estates, giving some <£120,- 000 as the purchase money.

Mgger W irsbip ia4 I In the midst of • momentous crisis like the present, when there is no knowing, what calamity a day may bring forth, or bow soon the grand fabric of our constitu tion wiil be swept away, and the arm of brother be raised against brother in dead ly strife, it becomes 11s to ponder gravely over the dangers that surround ns, and, as men and patriots, to combine in the en deavor to avert the worst of those evils by which our conntry is menaced. To the anti-slavery propagandism which forty years ago swayed so violently tbe people of England, and thence found its way into New England and the Congress of the United States, aud was years after wards nurtured so warmly by societies and a portion of the press, we may traee all the causes that distract the United States. It has ever been a prolific source of disturbance^ riots, family feuds and national discord. It has led to scenes which have disgraced our halls of Con gress. It has caused the proper objects of legislation to be neglected, and tbe gener al irteiestsof the country to be injured and mismanaged, and by its pernicious ag itation has ei grossed the public mind to an extent that is positively lament able. From its inception to the present time the question has undergone three phases. In the first instance it was a moral one, provoked by discussion and prejudice iu England; iu the next it was a social one, induced by the Northern States finding slave labor unprofitable, and, therefore, wishing to abolish it; and. in the third, it was a politico-religious one, which we may call “nigger worship.” In this last phase xve find it now. It has become a pulpit theme, and diverted the stream of religion from its course heax r enwaid to th© stormy sea of politics. We have a prom inent example of it in the case of Ward Beecher. It has mined churches, mined parties, and now it is ruining the whole country. Anti-slavery fanaticism has stamped its charader upon our Northern literature, and led away the minds of those who had not philosophy enough to withstanditssubtleinfluer.ee; which, for thirty years of the forty it has been in agitation, has been gradually undermining the constitution of tbe republic and the best interests and liberties of our people. With the secession of seven States, and the prospect of the eighth border State adding to the number, it may be said to have reached its culminating point. ~What will foil >w is uncertain as the wind, and it xvonld be rash to hazard a conjecture on the subject, It may be tbe secession of the remaining slave States and mayhap civil war. But the worst consequences staring abolitionists in the face would not turn one out of a thousand of th em from their fatal purpose; for fanatics are deaf to reason, and, like the English Crm-aders to the Holy Land, have only a single object to accomplish, and that whatever may be the sacrifice. The disruption of the Union is not enough for these men, they want blood, and they would callously ex terminate every slaveholder, from Virgin ia to Florida, in order to realize their fa vorite, and we may add fiendish, purpose. And what is the actual condition of the slaves over which these rampart Aboli tionists are howling so insanely? Let them go down to the Southern States and look at the four millions of negroes they will find there, and see whether they are the ill cared lor, abject creatures that they would make the Northeners believe. Let them remember that, at the time of tbe Revolution, the colored population of the same Mates amounted to less than an eighth part of xvhat it is at present. The very fact of the immense increase of mim. bers within so short a time speaks for the good treatment and happy, contented lot of the slave. They are ?omfortably fed, housed and clothed,and st ldom or never overworked. They present in their condition a favorable contrast to the white slaves of Evrape, who live i.1 the utmost squalor, and aie at once lialfstarved and overxxorked, and who only find rest in premature graves. Their condition iB a far happier one than that of the xvhite poor of tiie North, who are driven to seek refuge from want in the workhous, oryet of many even outside of their walls, who vegetate in filth and hunger in the obscure parts of our cities. The heartrending occasionally given to the English public of the miseries endured by the London poor show afar more deplorable state of things than could ever exist under slavery in America; and English travellers who have taken the Double, of inquiry,by persona! observation into the state of the slaves in the South, have acknowledged in print the superior comforts enjoyed by the latter over the w hite slaves of England. What the Gar rison and l’bilipses, who pronouuce the constitution “an agreement with death aud a covenant with hell” may do next is more than man can tell; but they may rest assured that their fanaticism, al though it may destroy the Union, will de stroy them. All that xxe pray for is that we may be spared the horrors cf civil war.
