One of the most remarkable events of the day is, that in consequence of the agitation of a question of politics, these men, who have been long so closely identified, have been put at issue completely. It is not with indifference oi pleasure, that wc can reflect upon the cir cums'ance, of friends of such intimate connec tion from boyhood probably, up through youth and early manhood, so united by long and constant intercourse with each other, that one has become, as it were, the complement of the other, being now in middle age rudely torn apart by the angry dissensions of parties.— Should confirmed political lead them to con firmed private differences, their separation will be aa memorable in the annals of America, as that of Fox and Burke in the parliaments y history of England.

Mr. Editor. —Deak Sir :—Dr. Mulkoy is now in onr City teaching a system of Orthoepy, which originated aome-Ahirty years ago with his Father; and which has been much piaised and highly approved feyjhe,mpst learned .speakers and expe rienced tgpcbersin this State. ‘ Among those who speak in commenda tion ofitlie Mulkcty system, are to be found the names of Dr. Sami., K. Talmage, thci esidenb N os tho- Presbyterian College, Oglethorpe University, Ref- J* WVReid, the principal of ike Plulom.atlkian tute, Tbos. Cobb Esq., of Athens Ga. imd Col. Ben Hill: ’ ‘ ■ ; Those who are well acquainted wltlil this system of Orthoepy can bdt disap prove of it, ns it has been more perfectly -yslemized and rendered more practical tlinn any other by the indefatigable effort! i {if itv founder and the inimitable teachings of his industrious Son. This system methodically arranges the words and the anomalies of the English language; and fprnishes excellent -rules to guide the oral instructor. By the as sistance of Hicroglyphical and Ortlioepi cal charts, the lecturer can impart rapidly and correctly knowledge to his pupils, and’ also give practical demonstrations of the truth and beauty of a system, which not only teaches orthoepy, but, improves the memory. These charts arc arranged so as to tench the sounds of all the ’ letters, their proper classifications, what should be their various combinations and also the rules for correct accentuation, syllabication, and orthography of words. This system teaches that the twenty-six letters of the alphabet have forty one souhds, lienee the same letter must repre sent many different sounds, consequently orthography is so involved that it becomes “confusion confounded,” unless there are rules by which these combinations may be made and all their sounds asccrtainon-. And these difficulties may be obviated by teaching orally the sounds or phonetics of the language ; the. accentuation and sylla bication of words; the rules and exceptions of orthography; a lift of those letters which are. substituted for otlieis ; anil bfie analytical classification of ‘ antiphoiiotic words. ’ This system is not designed to> olhairtge tho English language, to introduce j fiisV w'ords, to alter its orthography’ or prentivn ciation, but only to systetnize, to ajfford rules to tench it in the best way, anK tt> correct those errors which have previously existed ; and to render the rules of or thoepy subservient so those of orthography. The understanding of these rules will ena ble the orthoepist to distinguish in a mo . merit the regular from the irregular, espe cially when he sees the word in a dictiona ry ‘accented,’druded into syllables, and the necessary marks placed over the letters to. indicate their sounds. . This system, if properly taught, will lessen the time-one-half which has hereto fore been necessary to acquire a knowledge of orthography and orthoepy. In the sys tems heretofore introduced, tho arrange ments es the Words have been immethodi cal, and the proper rules for the guidance of oral instructors have been omitted. l)r. Mulkoy has two classes to ldch lie is giving lessons. The first is composed of the President, Rev. Homer Hondo*, the Rev. R. A. Houston, and a number of 1 young ladies of tho Greenesboro Female i College. To hear them recite the lessons . taught by Dr. Mulkey is indeed a mental; , treat. The exactness the truthfulness, tho case, and cheerfulness which the young ladies recite prove how well their minds have heretofore been trained and h:iw , readily the science of orthoepy can be ac quired under the judicious instructions of their teacher. The second class is;made up of gentlemen, several of whom belong to the learned professions, thoso acquire * with much ease and great pleasure the ‘ sounds of the letters, classificntionffiSrt.,’ i which are taught twice daily by tke : 1 tor -’ - ‘ ’.V. -y Di’j Mulkoy „gaye Jcptu’res and Ifcssoiia i in Ga. eofnc three-year* Since, when'jit the happy privilege of. the writer (to be , come one of his students.

J ; The Doctor is an impressive lecturer and a good teacher. His style is after the 1 con'-ersationpl order—notlaboredand stud l ied but easy and fluent; his action is im s pressive and bold; his pronunciation and i accentuation is after the “Mulkey” style ; i his enunciation is clear and distinct, and in . harmony with the euphony of the language. Any one who will listen to the Doctor, must be convinced that his system is wor thy of the praise and adoption of all, and that it shonld be now introduced into our schools and colleges.

The New York papers furnish the following particulars of the frightful catastrophe:, ’ ’The afternoon was - cloudy ami gusty, ahd.tbe frnii fabric swayed so violently . under the slight gale which sprung up about 4 o’clock, that the fears of the spec tators, some tlireo limidied and fifty in number, were thoroughly a roused .and there were.loud cries of “don’t go up,” “don’t go up, “Irom all sides, and several personal friends of the young mronaut also entreat ed him to postpone the ascension, but lie refused. His wile, who was present, was quite anxious to accompany him, but he calmly tola her, “my dear, you must wait till the next time,” Shortly before tithing bis place in the car, his attention was called to a rent in the balloon, when lie tied it up, with a laughing expression that it might “cause the balloon to burst and spill him out. - ’ All being in readiness, shortly after -1 o’clock he bid his wife an affectionate, adieu and taking his place in the car, the ropes were cut and the balloon darted upward, when at that instant, it was struck by a squall and lunged against the cornice of the concert building near. The wind subsiding, tlio balloon roso above the high ornaments on the building and then suddenly collapsed, and with its basket and occupant instantly disappeared from sight. A scene of Hie wildest coulu sion now ensued, Mrs. Connor, and a female relative who accompanied her, fainting and falling helpl.ss upon the ground. Loud shrieks rei t the air, both inside and outside of the Garden, and the frantic people rushed hither anil thither without knowing why or wherefore. After much confusion an officer succeeded ill gaining the roof of the Qoncert Hall, where they, found young Connor lying in an insensible ’condition, covered with the wreck cf his baU‘>on. With great difficulty lie was removed to the ball, and examined by a pby'sican, who pronounced him injured internally, and in such a manner as to preclnde tlio possibility of his recovery. Mr. Connor continued to sink very rapid ly, and expired at 11 o’clock last night in the arms ot his wife, llis injuries ’ were of an internal nature, ami were received by his striking against the ornaments outlie building. The balloon was torn into shreds, and the ear badly broker.. The unfortunate . young man bad brought a suit against J. Wise, the asronaut, and had only left, the court-house, where it was being tried, a half hour before hie death. Previous to leaving Court, lie remarked jokingly to the defendant, “I’m going up to day, and I guess you’ll be glad if 1 never come back,” verifying the old adage “that there’s many i true wffid spoken in jest.” A Burniiiit Oath. We proceeded to the Court of Justice, where surrounded by attendants and suitors Rat the judge, a fat, sinister hiking personage heiiig disengaged, ordered the pa kwdt who had to make the charge against ! the prisoner, to be sworn, whereupon, while the Book of Imprecations was held ivor his head, lie repeated the following for midable oath : “I will speak the truth. If I speak not the truth, may it be through the influence of the laws of kenierit— through passion, anger, folly, pride and hard heartedness—so that when I and iny relations are on land, tigers, elephants, buffaloes, poisonous serpents, scorpions shall seize and crush, and bite us that wo shall certainly die ; let the'calamities ot fir*, water, thieves, and enemies oppress and destroy ns till we perish and come to utter destruction ; let ns bo subject to qll the calamities'that are within the body, and ail that are without the body may we be Seized with madness, dumbnes-, blind ness, deafness U-prosy and hydrophobia ; may tee be struck with thunderbolts and lightning, and come to, sudden death. In the midst of but speaking truth, may I be taken with vomiting clotted Jilack blood, and suddenly die before the assembled people. When lam going by water, may the water spirits assault me, the boat be upset, and the property lost; and may the alligators, porpoises, sharks, or other sea monsters, seize and crush me to death ; and when I change worlds, may I not arrive among men or spirits, but suf fer umnixed punishment and regret in the utmost wretchedness, among the four states of punishment. If I speak the truth, may I aq& my relations, through the influence off the ten laws of merit, and on account of efficacy ot truth, be freed from all cala mities within and without the body ; and may evils which have not jtet come he warded far away.

Jumping off a Tram doing 25 JMiles an Hour /—On Monday afternoon of last week a prisoner in the charge of the sheriff of Steuben county jumped from a train of carson tho railroad above Avou and came nearlosing bis life. Th© man was arrested foi passing counterfeit money. When he left Rochester the prisoner was handcuffed but as he appealed to be quiet the irons were removed from Ills wrists at Avon. After the train had gone a few miles from j .Avon,’and when it was under its usual speed (say 25 miles an hour) the prisoner took advantage ofhiscustodinn ran through the rear car of the irain and leaped over the railing to the ground. The bell-cord was pulled liy the officer, the train stopped as speedily as possible, and then backed -to the spot where the fugitive was lying upon the track. When he struck the ground ho was thrown upon his back and stunned by the fall. He was taken up senseless, carried into the car / aud the train went on. By the application of restoratives, in a short time he became conscious, but did not fully recover before lie reached Corning. He certainly made a desperate effort to regain iiis liberty and one that, nearly cost him liis life. The. prisoner who made this leap for life was Duane Tassett, who was ai rested in Murray, Orleans county, —Uochestcr Union.

Cut ions Coincidence.-flu connection with tlie Clay Statue, onr attention is drawn to the singular coincidence of the fate attending the statues of Messrs. Cal houn, Webster and Clay. Mrt Calhoun statue, ordered for Charleston, was lost in a shipwreck off Fire Island but finally recovered with an arm broken, which was subsequently rcplacrd by Mr Powers, the sculptor The bronze statue of Mr. Webster was lost and ncv< t r-coven and; but a second waseast from the same model, and is now in the Stale House yard at Boston. The first model for the statue of Mr. Clay was also lost at sea. The coincidence is certainly remarkable. Twenty-five of the thirty-three States of the Union have furnaces for melting iron, rolling mills or forges. Those that have none, are Mississippi, Louisiana, Flor ida, Texas, lowa, Minnesota, California and Oregon. There arc of works, 1515, of which have been abandoned ; of furnaces, 832. of Which 272 are. not opera ted.; of forges, 488, of them, 99 being clos ed ; of rolling-mills, 225, fifteen ot which arc not in operation.
