Tbe Flight of the Hoars.
The hours are viewless angels,
And still go gliding by.
And bear each moment's record up
To him who sits on high.
The poison or the nectar
The heart's deep flower-cups yield ;
A sample Btill they gather swift,
And leave us in the field.
And some fly by on pinions,
Of gorgeous gold and blue.
And some fly on with drooping wing,
Of sorrow's darker hue.
And as we spend each minute,
That God to us hath given,
The deeds are known before his throne-
The tale is told in heaven.
And we who talk among them,
As one by one departs.
Think not that they are hovering
Forever round our hearts.
Like summer bees that hover
Around the idle flowers.
They gather every act and thought.
These viewless angel hours.
And still they steal the record,
And bear it far away ;
This mission flight, by day or night,
No magic power can stay.

What is Meershaujc.—VVe notice that these
pipes are becoming very popular and very common, yet their component part are little known.
A New York paper thus explains the manufacture:
"In the islands of Negropont and Samos, in the
Archipelago, a peculiar variety of magnesia is
found ou the coast, beneath a thin strata of earth.
When first obtained it resembles the foam or froth
of the sea, and hence is termed meershaum by
the Germans, while the French style it ecume de
mer. Analysis proves that it is composed 0 f magnesia, carbonic acid, water, and four percent, of
silox. The idea so common in thia country that
meershaum is foam of the sea, originated in the
resemblance referred to, and also to the old fash -
ion of calling meershaum pipes. When first dug
from the earth, the magnesia is soft and easily
moulded into any shape that fancy may dictate.
In this condition it is formed into pipes and cigar
holders, and exposed to the action of the air until
it hardens. Before being boiled in wax or oil, it
is nearly as light as pitch, and full of minute
pores through which a pin or knife may be stuck,
with no more damage than the same operation
performed on a fine sponge. The pipes are boiled
in wax or oil, in order to give them a polish, as
well as to render them more durable; but smoking
soon burns out the oleaginous secretions, and the
oil of the smoke sinks into the pores gradually
until the outer surface is covered."
m
/ A Scbsb in the House oc Lordj.—What alpa-
geant of splendor and of grandeur was here presented I The floor of the house waa packed with
the wives and daughters and sisters of the peers
in full dress, leaving only a narrow space in the
centre, which was occupied by peers and bishops
in their splendid scarlet robes. The entire'gallery
which surrounds the house waa filled with a row
of elegantly dressed ladies, only broken hy a line
of reporters, occupying seats directly opposite the
throne. Behind the reporters, the benches, one
rising above the other,*were filled with ladies.
Presently, the trumpets sound—the signal that the
queen is approaching. She leaves the palace in
her magnificent state carriage, drawn by eight
cream colored horses, attended by her ministers
and household officers, in carriages but little less
sumptuous than her own ; escorted by the Life
Guards, all mounted on noble black horses, the
entire cortege forming a most magnificent spectacle. In alighting from the carriage her Majesty's
foot presses an electric wire which fires a cannon
in the park. The Usher of the Golden Rod gives
a signal, and suddenly every lady in the house
throws off her opera cloak, or shawl, or mantle,
and a more beautiful revelation can hardly be imagined, and surely not described.
Flashed all their aims in air ;
Flashed all their bosoms bare,
Stunning the gazers there—
Lovely six hundred !
Parson Brownlow's Political Programme.—
Parson Brownlow, editor of West Tennessee
Whig, thus declares his inexorable hostility to
the Democracy, and his hope that the Southern
Opposition in Congress won't give in :
"We of course will not advise Southern Opposition members what to do, believing them competent to preserve their own self-respect and to discharge a sworn duty to their oountry and Jheir
constituents. But were we a member of the
Southern Opposition in Congress, before we would
occupy the paltry and contemptible attitude of
creeping after a party that had spurned us by its
acts, we would see the Capitol of the North, and
all the territory north and south of it. sunk to
eternal perdition. Nay, we would see all the political organizations as far in hell as a pigeon
could fly in a thousand years, or a forge-hammer
would fall in twice that length of time! Sooner
than thus degrade ourselves under the pretense of
battling for the homes and rights of our ohildren,
we would see them all starve to death, and then
seat ourselves upon their coffins with a Southern
gentleman and play push-pin for a drink of lager beer !
Army Intelligence.
Lieut. Colonel George Andrews, Sixth Infantry,
is directed to proceed to San Francisco, California,
and report to the Commanding General of that
Department for duty with his regiment.
Major Enoch Steen, First Dragoons now on
leave of absence, is directed to proceed to the department of Oregon, and report, for further orders, to the Commanding General of that depart-
partment.
By order of Colonel T. T. Fauntleroy, commanding "the- department of New Mexico, the trooos
now serving in the Navajoe country of that department will be temporarily withdrawn, and go
into winter quarters. Tne four companies—
Third Infantry—now stationed at Fort Defiance,
same department, will remain on duty at the post.
The War Department has ordered that the taking of Indian hostages for indefinite periods in
the department of Oregon, being attended with
no useful result, will for the future be prohibited.
From Washington.
Senator Brown, of Miss., has intimated his intention to attack that part of the President's message which suggests the judiciary as the proper
tribunal to afford adequate remedy in case of interference wiih the* right of the master to his
slaves in the Territories, instead of recommending
Congressional action for their protection.
The Seoretary of the Navy, in speaking of the
successful termination of the Paraguay expedition, says the cost of maintaining the seven purchased vessels in commission, was not much greater than that of maintaining a large steam frigate.
Their acquisition enables the Department to adopt
more efficient measures for tbe suppression of the
slave trade since the commencement of tbe present administration.
Twenty steam vessels have been added to the
navy. He recommends a still further increase of
the navy instead ofperpetuating old vessels or expending millions in the construction of large
ships. He earnestly recommended the prosecution
with vigor of the line of policy which has been
adopted by Congress and an addition of a much
larger number of steamships, which can be maintained at a comparatively small cost. It is a
source of extreme regret and mortification that we
are now at times obliged to sit by passively and
Bee in some foreign countries American citizens
imprisoned, plundered and murdered, because the
Executive has not the means to protect or redress
them.
He urges au increase iu the jMarine, Medical
and Pursers Department. Narrated the operations
of the various squadrons during the past year.—
He recommends a provision for retaining disabled
and infirm officers aa a measure of increasing the
efficiency of the army. It is not deemed ahvisa-
ble to proceed in manufacturing rifled cannon beyond those required for experimental purposes.
He speaks favorably of the breach loading arms.
It does not appear neceaaary to request any
considerable appropriation for additional masonry work for the fortifications. Such aa are not
strong enough to offer good defence against shipping, may when an emergency arises, be re-enforo-
ed at a small expense by earthen batteries properly combined with them for mortioal support and
of such an extent as to give an aggregate amount
of sufficient power for defence.
The army in Utah remains inactive, and stands
in an attitude of menacing foroe towards that conquered and sullen people.
He is satisfied that the preservation of the right
and justice through the means of any jurisprudence known or recognized by the people of the
United States, is impossible in that Territory.
There is in the present attitude of affairs, scarcely
any necessity for the presence of the troops there,
and they wiil be otherwise disposed of during the
cpming season.
Che above named Secretaries show wherein
■"■hoy tias-o laxi-galy nprl 11 nprl thfi pyflflndl tn rft and oa.
timate, as compared with the previous years. The
Seoretary of the Interior says, during the five
quarters ending in September, the sales of land
yielded over $3,107,000; 617,000 acres were located with Bounty warrants.
Among the general recommendations is one that
a law be passed in a spirit of liberality to Bettlers
on unoccupied lands, allowing each two years
from the date of filing his declaration statement
with which to make his proof and pay for his
land, and at the same time making it incumbent
for the President to offer at public sales, by proclamation, all lands that may have been surveyed
by authority of Congress at any time within two
years after the plats of survey have been approved.
He also suggests the manner of preventing
frauds. All things considered, our relations with
the Indian tribes continued, during the past year,
satisfactory. He regrets to add that official documents furnished sufficient evidence to justify the
belief that the atrocious cases of murder and rapine charged to the account of the Indians, bave
been in reality committed by white men wearing
disguises of the Indians. Measures have been taken for the amelioration of the Indians. The policy now is to gather them in small tribal reservations.
The necessary expenses weich will be incurred
for the census will require an appropriation of at
least $1,000,000
<'<«»T
Who is He?—"The boy is now living who wi 11
be President in 1900. He is about ten or twelve
years of age. His parents are in humble circumstances, but of sterling traits of character ; and
their boo is not one of tbose dirty, noisy boys that
spend their days and Sabbaths in idleness and
rowdyism. On the contrary, he is ot a serious
cast, is very studious, and withal is well behaved."

Several " lewd fellows," of the baser sort,"
while ou a spree in New York, a few nights since,
climbed upon the equestrian statue of Washingion
in Union square, and enwrapt the august Bhouiders
with a shawl, and put a large felt hat on the stately
head of the figure, and then fled, leaving the image
of Washington in such Ja guise as he never wore
wben living.
Mrs. Adams, who resides near Monongahela city,
Pi., afflicted with dropsy, has had from February,
1854, to 18th October last, 628 gallons, or nearly
twenty barrels of water drawn from her. She has
tolerable health.
The counsel for Mr. Forrest are keeping his case
alive by a motion for a review of tbe award of alimony and expenses made by the referee.
Mr. Wm. Russell, lately the correspondent of
the London Times io India, is preparing a book
on the Indian Rebellion, of which he has sold the
copyright for $7,500.
Among some curiosities sent from India to the
Methodist Mission rooms in New York, by Dr.
Butler, is the veritable god worshipped by Nena
Sahib, tbe great rebel leader.
The one hundredth anniversary of the introduction of Methodism into tbe United States, is to be
appropriately celebrated by that body in 1860.
The capital story in the December number of
the Atlantic Monthly, entitled "Elkanah Brewster's Temptation," is understood to be from the
pen of Mr. Charles Nordhoff, who has a knack of
writing the cleverest stories and the best articles
going. As a magazinist he is " equalled by few,
excelled by none."
Southern Conservative Opinion.
Those who from the violent speeches of Southern and Northern Democratic Members of Congress, make up their minds with fear and trembling that the whole South is in favor oi disunion, and abont to madly and recklessly rush into
it, are very much mistaken. There are still sensible people at the South, and when we meet with
the expressions of their feeling, we rejoice to Dots
and reproduce them. The New Orleans Bee says ;
" We need hardly say that deeply as we should
regret the election of a Black Rebublican President, we should be very far from regarding such'an
event as a plea for dissolving tbe Union. While
we have a Constitution and laws, we of the South,
equally with the North, are bonnd to acquiesce in
the choice of a Chief Magistrate, legally and
constitutionally effected. Aa well might tha
North invoke disunion as the sole remedy in caas
Henry A. Wise, or any other slaveholder, Bhould
be elected President. Whomsoever tbe people
may elevate to the highest office in their gift, the
South should respect, until either through his own
action, or tbat of a hostile Congress, some law
should be passed plainly and palpably at war With
the guarantees of the Constitution and the rights
and liberties of the slaveholding States."
The Savannah Republican thus strongly re-
bukes the call for a Southern Convention :
" Our noble band of sisters, all embarked in one
common bottom, need not be taught their duty by
gassy, fire-eating politicians, such as are likely
to constitute the staple of a Southern Convention.
Is there the most remote probability of another
Abolition raid into a Southern State, after the
terrible lesson that has been tanght the transgressors? We think there is not, and that the present
agitation for a Southern Convention is either a
senseless cry from timid, panic-stricken, would-be
leaders of the people, or a well-planned scheme
for an ulterior purpose which it is not prudent uow
to avow. If the former, we regard it as wild, visionary and supremely ridiculous."
The Baltimore Patriot voucheajfor the loyalty
of Maryland to the Union, thus :—
The declarations of Mr. Crawford, of Georgia,
yesterday, have no terrors for Maryland. Let
who may be elected President lu 1860, according
to the forms prescribed by the laws of the oountry
she for one will submit to the election and stand
by the Union, even though the Congressional del'
egation from Georgia, as gravely announced by
Mr. Crawford, shall seek to prevent the inauguration ot the new President. Nay, even though every State in the Union, North, Sonth, East and
West, shall repudiate the election, Maryland will
insist on obedience to the Federal Government,
and rally to the flag of the Union.
A correspondent of the National Intelligencer,
himself a slaveholder, thos sums up the profit aud
loss of disunion]:—
"Yet for all this I am utterly unable to see that
we of the South will at all better ourselves by
" renouncing altogether" our connection With the
North. Shall we be removed a hair's breadth fur*
ther from the North ? Shall we cease to hear the
ravings of madmen, or the delusions of fanaticism ? Shall we, as aliens and foreigners, have a
better claim upon the conservative element still
existing at the North than we have as members
and brethren of the same confederacy? Every
one of these Interrogatories most be answered in
the negative. What then, do we gain? Why, directly in the teeth of the true but expressive and
comprehensive sentiment recently attributed iu
your columns to the famous Talleyrand, namely,
l; Happy is the nation without frontiers," we gain
an immense boundary, subject at all times and at
all plaoes to such forays as old Ossawatomie Brown
has recently inaugurated at Harper's Ferry, and
witb no Pennsylvania Judge or Governor to hold
a mere suspected fugitive, to give a Bister commonwealth time to hunt up and send on witnesses
to identify him, as recently was the case with the
fugitive Hazlett, arrested at Carlisle. Is such au
act as this to weigh nothing or be accounted aa no
compensation for the wild ravings of deluded men
and women, led on and encouraged by that most
dangerous of all men, the merely ambitious political demagogue ? Unhappily, the South as well
as the North has its full share of this class of men.
But it is said we are dishonored by the calumny,
abuse and misrepresentations so Incessantly heaped
upon us by the North : and therefore we cannot
with proper dignity and self-respect, longer keep
faith or hold fellowship with it. Was Henry Clay,
the great head of the Whig party, dishonored by
the calumny, abuse and misrepresentation so per-
Beveringly and lavishly heaped upon bim? Did
he not proudly soar above it, and pass through
the ordeal unscathed with the noble sentiment upon his lips, "I would rather be right than President?" Let the South imitate the example of
Henry Clay, and be careful to keep herself in tht
right; demand no more that what is clearly guaranteed to her by the lawa and Constitution, and
submit to nothing less; she may then proudly
soar above and defy the calumny of the North.'
Remarkable Coincidences.—The Boston Transcript furnishes the following curious compilation of coincidences in the names and lives of the
first seven Presidents, Washington, John Adams,
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John Quincy Adams-
and Jackson. " Four of the Beven were from Yiiv
ginin, two of the same name were from Massachusetts, and the seventh was from Tennessee. All
but one were sixty-five years old on leaving office,
having served two terms; and one of tbem, who
had served but ono term, would have been sixty-
six years of age at the end of another. Three of
them died on the fourth of July, and two of them
oa the Bame day and year. Two of then*
were on the sub-eommittee of three that drafted
the Declaration of Independence, and just half a'
oenlury from the day of Declaration. The names
of three of the seven end in son, yet none ofthese
transmitted his name to a son. In respect to tbe
name of all, it may be said in conclusion, the initials of two of the seven were the same, and of
still two others the same; while the surname of
two others commenced with the same letter. The*
remaining one, who stands alone in this particular,
stands alone also in tbe love and admiration of
his countrymen and the civilized world—Washington! Ofthe first five, only one bad a son,
and that son was also President.

The hours are viewless angels, And still go gliding by. And bear each moment's record up To him who sits on high. The poison or the nectar The heart's deep flower-cups yield ; A sample Btill they gather swift, And leave us in the field. And some fly by on pinions, Of gorgeous gold and blue. And some fly on with drooping wing, Of sorrow's darker hue. And as we spend each minute, That God to us hath given, The deeds are known before his throne- The tale is told in heaven. And we who talk among them, As one by one departs. Think not that they are hovering Forever round our hearts. Like summer bees that hover Around the idle flowers. They gather every act and thought. These viewless angel hours. And still they steal the record, And bear it far away ; This mission flight, by day or night, No magic power can stay.

R. F. WALKINSHAW. nol9 What is Meershaujc.—VVe notice that these pipes are becoming very popular and very common, yet their component part are little known. A New York paper thus explains the manufacture: "In the islands of Negropont and Samos, in the Archipelago, a peculiar variety of magnesia is found ou the coast, beneath a thin strata of earth. When first obtained it resembles the foam or froth of the sea, and hence is termed meershaum by the Germans, while the French style it ecume de mer. Analysis proves that it is composed 0 f magnesia, carbonic acid, water, and four percent, of silox. The idea so common in thia country that meershaum is foam of the sea, originated in the resemblance referred to, and also to the old fash - ion of calling meershaum pipes. When first dug from the earth, the magnesia is soft and easily moulded into any shape that fancy may dictate. In this condition it is formed into pipes and cigar holders, and exposed to the action of the air until it hardens. Before being boiled in wax or oil, it is nearly as light as pitch, and full of minute pores through which a pin or knife may be stuck, with no more damage than the same operation performed on a fine sponge. The pipes are boiled in wax or oil, in order to give them a polish, as well as to render them more durable; but smoking soon burns out the oleaginous secretions, and the oil of the smoke sinks into the pores gradually until the outer surface is covered." m / A Scbsb in the House oc Lordj.—What alpa- geant of splendor and of grandeur was here presented I The floor of the house waa packed with the wives and daughters and sisters of the peers in full dress, leaving only a narrow space in the centre, which was occupied by peers and bishops in their splendid scarlet robes. The entire'gallery which surrounds the house waa filled with a row of elegantly dressed ladies, only broken hy a line of reporters, occupying seats directly opposite the throne. Behind the reporters, the benches, one rising above the other,*were filled with ladies. Presently, the trumpets sound—the signal that the queen is approaching. She leaves the palace in her magnificent state carriage, drawn by eight cream colored horses, attended by her ministers and household officers, in carriages but little less sumptuous than her own ; escorted by the Life Guards, all mounted on noble black horses, the entire cortege forming a most magnificent spectacle. In alighting from the carriage her Majesty's foot presses an electric wire which fires a cannon in the park. The Usher of the Golden Rod gives a signal, and suddenly every lady in the house throws off her opera cloak, or shawl, or mantle, and a more beautiful revelation can hardly be imagined, and surely not described. Flashed all their aims in air ; Flashed all their bosoms bare, Stunning the gazers there— Lovely six hundred ! Parson Brownlow's Political Programme.— Parson Brownlow, editor of West Tennessee Whig, thus declares his inexorable hostility to the Democracy, and his hope that the Southern Opposition in Congress won't give in : "We of course will not advise Southern Opposition members what to do, believing them competent to preserve their own self-respect and to discharge a sworn duty to their oountry and Jheir constituents. But were we a member of the Southern Opposition in Congress, before we would occupy the paltry and contemptible attitude of creeping after a party that had spurned us by its acts, we would see the Capitol of the North, and all the territory north and south of it. sunk to eternal perdition. Nay, we would see all the political organizations as far in hell as a pigeon could fly in a thousand years, or a forge-hammer would fall in twice that length of time! Sooner than thus degrade ourselves under the pretense of battling for the homes and rights of our ohildren, we would see them all starve to death, and then seat ourselves upon their coffins with a Southern gentleman and play push-pin for a drink of lager beer ! Army Intelligence. Lieut. Colonel George Andrews, Sixth Infantry, is directed to proceed to San Francisco, California, and report to the Commanding General of that Department for duty with his regiment. Major Enoch Steen, First Dragoons now on leave of absence, is directed to proceed to the department of Oregon, and report, for further orders, to the Commanding General of that depart- partment. By order of Colonel T. T. Fauntleroy, commanding "the- department of New Mexico, the trooos now serving in the Navajoe country of that department will be temporarily withdrawn, and go into winter quarters. Tne four companies— Third Infantry—now stationed at Fort Defiance, same department, will remain on duty at the post. The War Department has ordered that the taking of Indian hostages for indefinite periods in the department of Oregon, being attended with no useful result, will for the future be prohibited. From Washington. Senator Brown, of Miss., has intimated his intention to attack that part of the President's message which suggests the judiciary as the proper tribunal to afford adequate remedy in case of interference wiih the* right of the master to his slaves in the Territories, instead of recommending Congressional action for their protection. The Seoretary of the Navy, in speaking of the successful termination of the Paraguay expedition, says the cost of maintaining the seven purchased vessels in commission, was not much greater than that of maintaining a large steam frigate. Their acquisition enables the Department to adopt more efficient measures for tbe suppression of the slave trade since the commencement of tbe present administration. Twenty steam vessels have been added to the navy. He recommends a still further increase of the navy instead ofperpetuating old vessels or expending millions in the construction of large ships. He earnestly recommended the prosecution with vigor of the line of policy which has been adopted by Congress and an addition of a much larger number of steamships, which can be maintained at a comparatively small cost. It is a source of extreme regret and mortification that we are now at times obliged to sit by passively and Bee in some foreign countries American citizens imprisoned, plundered and murdered, because the Executive has not the means to protect or redress them. He urges au increase iu the jMarine, Medical and Pursers Department. Narrated the operations of the various squadrons during the past year.— He recommends a provision for retaining disabled and infirm officers aa a measure of increasing the efficiency of the army. It is not deemed ahvisa- ble to proceed in manufacturing rifled cannon beyond those required for experimental purposes. He speaks favorably of the breach loading arms. It does not appear neceaaary to request any considerable appropriation for additional masonry work for the fortifications. Such aa are not strong enough to offer good defence against shipping, may when an emergency arises, be re-enforo- ed at a small expense by earthen batteries properly combined with them for mortioal support and of such an extent as to give an aggregate amount of sufficient power for defence. The army in Utah remains inactive, and stands in an attitude of menacing foroe towards that conquered and sullen people. He is satisfied that the preservation of the right and justice through the means of any jurisprudence known or recognized by the people of the United States, is impossible in that Territory. There is in the present attitude of affairs, scarcely any necessity for the presence of the troops there, and they wiil be otherwise disposed of during the cpming season. Che above named Secretaries show wherein ■"■hoy tias-o laxi-galy nprl 11 nprl thfi pyflflndl tn rft and oa. timate, as compared with the previous years. The Seoretary of the Interior says, during the five quarters ending in September, the sales of land yielded over $3,107,000; 617,000 acres were located with Bounty warrants. Among the general recommendations is one that a law be passed in a spirit of liberality to Bettlers on unoccupied lands, allowing each two years from the date of filing his declaration statement with which to make his proof and pay for his land, and at the same time making it incumbent for the President to offer at public sales, by proclamation, all lands that may have been surveyed by authority of Congress at any time within two years after the plats of survey have been approved. He also suggests the manner of preventing frauds. All things considered, our relations with the Indian tribes continued, during the past year, satisfactory. He regrets to add that official documents furnished sufficient evidence to justify the belief that the atrocious cases of murder and rapine charged to the account of the Indians, bave been in reality committed by white men wearing disguises of the Indians. Measures have been taken for the amelioration of the Indians. The policy now is to gather them in small tribal reservations. The necessary expenses weich will be incurred for the census will require an appropriation of at least $1,000,000 <'<«»T Who is He?—"The boy is now living who wi 11 be President in 1900. He is about ten or twelve years of age. His parents are in humble circumstances, but of sterling traits of character ; and their boo is not one of tbose dirty, noisy boys that spend their days and Sabbaths in idleness and rowdyism. On the contrary, he is ot a serious cast, is very studious, and withal is well behaved." *■*«> ..»»■. >»»■ Several " lewd fellows" of the baser sort" while ou a spree in New York, a few nights since, climbed upon the equestrian statue of Washingion in Union square, and enwrapt the august Bhouiders with a shawl, and put a large felt hat on the stately head of the figure, and then fled, leaving the image of Washington in such Ja guise as he never wore wben living. Mrs. Adams, who resides near Monongahela city, Pi., afflicted with dropsy, has had from February, 1854, to 18th October last, 628 gallons, or nearly twenty barrels of water drawn from her. She has tolerable health. The counsel for Mr. Forrest are keeping his case alive by a motion for a review of tbe award of alimony and expenses made by the referee. Mr. Wm. Russell, lately the correspondent of the London Times io India, is preparing a book on the Indian Rebellion, of which he has sold the copyright for $7,500. Among some curiosities sent from India to the Methodist Mission rooms in New York, by Dr. Butler, is the veritable god worshipped by Nena Sahib, tbe great rebel leader. The one hundredth anniversary of the introduction of Methodism into tbe United States, is to be appropriately celebrated by that body in 1860. The capital story in the December number of the Atlantic Monthly, entitled "Elkanah Brewster's Temptation" is understood to be from the pen of Mr. Charles Nordhoff, who has a knack of writing the cleverest stories and the best articles going. As a magazinist he is " equalled by few, excelled by none." Southern Conservative Opinion. Those who from the violent speeches of Southern and Northern Democratic Members of Congress, make up their minds with fear and trembling that the whole South is in favor oi disunion, and abont to madly and recklessly rush into it, are very much mistaken. There are still sensible people at the South, and when we meet with the expressions of their feeling, we rejoice to Dots and reproduce them. The New Orleans Bee says ; " We need hardly say that deeply as we should regret the election of a Black Rebublican President, we should be very far from regarding such'an event as a plea for dissolving tbe Union. While we have a Constitution and laws, we of the South, equally with the North, are bonnd to acquiesce in the choice of a Chief Magistrate, legally and constitutionally effected. Aa well might tha North invoke disunion as the sole remedy in caas Henry A. Wise, or any other slaveholder, Bhould be elected President. Whomsoever tbe people may elevate to the highest office in their gift, the South should respect, until either through his own action, or tbat of a hostile Congress, some law should be passed plainly and palpably at war With the guarantees of the Constitution and the rights and liberties of the slaveholding States." The Savannah Republican thus strongly re- bukes the call for a Southern Convention : " Our noble band of sisters, all embarked in one common bottom, need not be taught their duty by gassy, fire-eating politicians, such as are likely to constitute the staple of a Southern Convention. Is there the most remote probability of another Abolition raid into a Southern State, after the terrible lesson that has been tanght the transgressors? We think there is not, and that the present agitation for a Southern Convention is either a senseless cry from timid, panic-stricken, would-be leaders of the people, or a well-planned scheme for an ulterior purpose which it is not prudent uow to avow. If the former, we regard it as wild, visionary and supremely ridiculous." The Baltimore Patriot voucheajfor the loyalty of Maryland to the Union, thus :— The declarations of Mr. Crawford, of Georgia, yesterday, have no terrors for Maryland. Let who may be elected President lu 1860, according to the forms prescribed by the laws of the oountry she for one will submit to the election and stand by the Union, even though the Congressional del' egation from Georgia, as gravely announced by Mr. Crawford, shall seek to prevent the inauguration ot the new President. Nay, even though every State in the Union, North, Sonth, East and West, shall repudiate the election, Maryland will insist on obedience to the Federal Government, and rally to the flag of the Union. A correspondent of the National Intelligencer, himself a slaveholder, thos sums up the profit aud loss of disunion]:— "Yet for all this I am utterly unable to see that we of the South will at all better ourselves by " renouncing altogether" our connection With the North. Shall we be removed a hair's breadth fur* ther from the North ? Shall we cease to hear the ravings of madmen, or the delusions of fanaticism ? Shall we, as aliens and foreigners, have a better claim upon the conservative element still existing at the North than we have as members and brethren of the same confederacy? Every one of these Interrogatories most be answered in the negative. What then, do we gain? Why, directly in the teeth of the true but expressive and comprehensive sentiment recently attributed iu your columns to the famous Talleyrand, namely, l; Happy is the nation without frontiers" we gain an immense boundary, subject at all times and at all plaoes to such forays as old Ossawatomie Brown has recently inaugurated at Harper's Ferry, and witb no Pennsylvania Judge or Governor to hold a mere suspected fugitive, to give a Bister commonwealth time to hunt up and send on witnesses to identify him, as recently was the case with the fugitive Hazlett, arrested at Carlisle. Is such au act as this to weigh nothing or be accounted aa no compensation for the wild ravings of deluded men and women, led on and encouraged by that most dangerous of all men, the merely ambitious political demagogue ? Unhappily, the South as well as the North has its full share of this class of men. But it is said we are dishonored by the calumny, abuse and misrepresentations so Incessantly heaped upon us by the North : and therefore we cannot with proper dignity and self-respect, longer keep faith or hold fellowship with it. Was Henry Clay, the great head of the Whig party, dishonored by the calumny, abuse and misrepresentation so per- Beveringly and lavishly heaped upon bim? Did he not proudly soar above it, and pass through the ordeal unscathed with the noble sentiment upon his lips, "I would rather be right than President?" Let the South imitate the example of Henry Clay, and be careful to keep herself in tht right; demand no more that what is clearly guaranteed to her by the lawa and Constitution, and submit to nothing less; she may then proudly soar above and defy the calumny of the North.' Remarkable Coincidences.—The Boston Transcript furnishes the following curious compilation of coincidences in the names and lives of the first seven Presidents, Washington, John Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John Quincy Adams- and Jackson. " Four of the Beven were from Yiiv ginin, two of the same name were from Massachusetts, and the seventh was from Tennessee. All but one were sixty-five years old on leaving office, having served two terms; and one of tbem, who had served but ono term, would have been sixty- six years of age at the end of another. Three of them died on the fourth of July, and two of them oa the Bame day and year. Two of then* were on the sub-eommittee of three that drafted the Declaration of Independence, and just half a' oenlury from the day of Declaration. The names of three of the seven end in son, yet none ofthese transmitted his name to a son. In respect to tbe name of all, it may be said in conclusion, the initials of two of the seven were the same, and of still two others the same; while the surname of two others commenced with the same letter. The* remaining one, who stands alone in this particular, stands alone also in tbe love and admiration of his countrymen and the civilized world—Washington! Ofthe first five, only one bad a son, and that son was also President. C\J CO CO CM — 0 co 9> CNi — ■£— CO CM N. CM — CD CM O — (A CM — CM 0 CM cn CO K>_ r>» — |
