T.MwnrtIne*.. Mother. It was the fate of the father of La mar tine, the great living French poet and orator, to be mixed ap with the first French Revolution. During that Btormy period, he, with a great number of his compatriots, waa hmaured in the prison o-f Macon. He was not there long before his wife, with her ch-ik.., took lod-gings opposite the window of the cell which inclosed tbe republica-i!.. She soon drew hia attention to bersel. and his child, wlrch, though he eould not speak to-her for fear of the sentinel, reconciled turn in some measure to his captivity.and lessened the burden of his woes. "My mflther,-- says Lamartine, " carried me every day in hcr arms to the garret window, showed me to my father, gave me nourishment before him, made me stretch out my little hands towards the bars of his prison, then, pressing my forehead to her breast, ibe almost devoured me with kisses in the sight of the prisoner, and deemed thus to waft htm mentally all tbo cm-esses wliich she lavished on me." At last she hit upon the happy expedient of conveying to him letters in tlie following manner : She procured a bow and some arrows, and tying aletter to a thread, she shot tho arrow, to which was attached the other end of the thread, into the window of the prisoner's cell. In this way she sent him peas, ink and paper. He then, by the same ingenious expedient, sea *iove-letters to her. Thus the separated husband and wife were enabled to correspond, to cheer each other's hopes, and suetain each other in their misfortunes. This was at. done at night time, when tbe scrutinizing eyes ofthe sentinels remained in happy ignorance ofthe medium of communication. Success having inspired, courage, the lady, with the assistance of .be arrow and thread, afterwards conveyed a file to the captive, with which he silently filed through one of the bars of his prison, and then restored it to its place. On the next evening, when there was no moonlight, a stout cord was fastened to the thread nnd transmitted to the prisoner, The rope was firmly fastened on the one end to a beam* it* the garret ofthe lady, and the other end to the bars ofthe cell; then summoning up all his coarage, the prisoner gilded along the rope, above the heads of the sentinels; he crossed the street, and found himself in the arms of his wife and beside the cradle of his child. Such an adventure required all the hero's courage and tbe philosopher's caution, and none but those who were personally interested in it can ever imagine the feelings which must have agitated their hearts'. Trom time to time, when the night was dark, tbe knotted cord would glide from window to window, aod the prisoner would pass irom knot to knot and enjoy delightful hours of converse with her whom he loved best on earth. [From the Spiritual Telegraph.] Extraordinary Spirit jttaii-fe-ta-ton. Messrs. P__i.TKn.Gi_; and Brit-tan : A few evenings since I attended the Spirit manifestations at Jofcu Tipple's Spirit-room, at Ames- town, where tbe spirits, as usual, iu the presence of a house full of witnesses, beat the drums and tambourine, played on the harp find other instruments of music, and talked audibly through the trumpet for some ten or fifteen minutes, when a young man, who, not realizing that we were receiving tangible evidence of the immortality of the soul, put out his foot and raised a large round center table that stands in the center of the room, and let it fall heavily on the floor several times. This destroyed the arrangements, and .the performance stopped, except that tbo presiding spirit, who is the principal spirit speaker, talked through the tram-pet to the young man for „ereral minutes, as I never heard a person talked to before, and concluded by telling' Mm* to go and remain in darknes and ignorance till nature developed him to a higher plane of intelligence. He accordingly left, and the spirits rearranged the circle, and the presiding spirit said that the young man's name was Clark, and he was very sorry that there were so many who had a predominance of animal propensities. Then tha spirits went on with the performance s few minute-, when one of tl_e spirits came io me and said he wanted the violin on which I was playing. (If there is a violin player present, the spirits generally ask him to play.) So I handed it out, and the spirit took hold of it and hold of my hand. and patted me on the hand, arm, etc., and told me not to b3 alarmed—then took the violin, and played it around the room, over tbe heads of those present for a short time, when another spirit took a string of fcleigh bells that hung on the wall, and rang them around the room, then close to my face, when I said, if they did not take the bells away from my face, I would take them away from them. The spirit said "That is just what we want." So I made a grab a*, the bells, and caught my left hand around the strap and iu the spirit-hand, when it squeezed my hand so hard that I begged of them not take my hand off. But they held on and lifted me clear from the floor by my left hand ; then by some magnetic or electric power they raised my feet till I was in nearly a homzontal position*, suspended in the air, nearly to the ceiling. 9_hey carried me arround sometime, and then threw me on the table. As I was going, my feet eaught the edge ofthe table,, and moved it about two feet.— During this performance they broke the bridge of the violin. I then gat down from the table and took my seat, my hand being bo pressed that it wai lame for several days after. Thei-* one of the sp4rits came and stood before me, and said'Look!' I looked and saw him distinctly, with what he afterwards told me was one of the forms of glory onhishcad. It wassomething like the shape of a horse shoe, with tbe ends hanging down over his ears. It appeared of beautiful rainbow colors of diamond brightness ; no earthly beauty can compare with the splendor of that sight Then he asked me if I would like to see him blow sparks through the horn ; I answered in the affirmative. He picked up a tin horn that lay Jon the table, and held the large end near my face, and a blaze of rainbow-colored sparks came out ofthe horn, so beautiful tb it their brightness dazrlcd- my eyes, aud they caused such a crackling [neise com1- ing from the horn, that all in the room heard it distinctly. Then, after giving us a beautiful lecture through the trumpet, telling us how to live to be happy, the performanc c ended for the night. Yours for truth*, HIRAM S0ENICH.

Pat McCarty -yraa a 'Vbroth of a boy," and altogether a.3 "dacent" a man an3 as handy with a ipade aa any of the whole five hundred at work upon tho railroad then and now in the process of building in the Northern portion of Ohio, He was a great favorite with the overseer, on account of his faithfulness and integrity cf character, but he had one fault that sorely grieved his employer.— Though as sober an a sexton for six days in the week, Pat could never resist the temptations of pay flay, and when Saturday came round, never failed to get '*r.s drunk as a lord." Having tried every other reformatory expedient in vain, the overseer at length bethought himself of the priest, who Ere. ailedupon Pat to "take the pledge,'1 and sent im on his way rejoicing. But, alas! the next payday was "too many" for po.r Pat, who, staggering through the village at noon, met no less a personage than the priest who had attempted to reform him. " You're lost, Pat—entirely lost!" said his reverence, with a sigh of genuine sorrow. Pat was bewildered for a moment, but, having stared about him until he had fairly ascertained His local whereabouts, he exclaimed triumphantly : " Lost ? Is it tost I am ? Lost in broad daylight, half way between J-initoy Stacy's and the court- louie T To the divil wid yer nonsense!" A Thorough Going K. N.—A brother ofthe mya tic tie, now a member ofthe Massachusetts Legislature, recently wrote a letter to his son "at home on the farm," which by some mischance got into the wrong post, viz., the Bcstcn Post. As a specimen oi carrying out one's princieipies,. we deem it worthy of preservation, laudation, imitation, an<J a-ny c-ther ation but Jore-ign nation. lint not to detain our readers any longer, here'i .be-document: SFosi-cn-, January 16,1855; Son John : I have too much Legislature work to come home on Saturday nights as I said I would— so you mind the farm. I hare managed to get on a good many committees, so as to come popular bj having my name printed oftener in the papers, and !I mariteg. io say something occasionally and I have seen my name three times printed in the daily bee. American principles ia looking up some here iu Boston, and we are going-to discord all foreign elements in our" government; (by the "way have the barn door painted some other color besides sp?nish brown. I don't like anything Spanish.) The governor has made a lielfi a. -.be foreign militia and disbanded ail tbe companies; (don't use any more BritSislr oil for your deefuess, fori have thrown away that box of Russian salve your mother put in my trunk to rub my rumatic leg with ; use American physic, it ia-.h. best.) We ase going to- l__we the latin lingo taken off the state coat of arms, f_nd put plain yaukee english in its place. "We* are going aheid I tell you, and make a clean swoop of everything of foreign extraction. I have visited no place of amusement except the wild buffalo which is aregular native, he looks very nnch like a hairy cow. Speaking of cowa reminds me very much of ourDurhum Bull you may sell him to Wade the butcher he is- of foreign extraction. A friend asked me to go to'the Atheneum and see the library and pictures but I was told nearly all the pictures are painted by the old masters a3 they are called—and these I am told are without exception foreigners besides many of the books are in foreign languages so it is contrary to my principles to visit such a place. I was going to see Banvard's great painting of the Holy Land which is making some stir but a native artist told me it was mostly painted with Venetian red, Dutch pink and Naples yellow while all the skies were Prussian blue too much of the for-* eign elements- tobe interesting to me. By the way speaking'of paint, have the front blinds painted some color other than I have mentioned above.— Stop thoZions Herald and take the Yankee Privateer iu its place. Give my Marseilles vest to Dick the plowman and tell him to Btone Jip the the scotch terrier off the farm and to kill the Maltese cat. From your affectionate father. E.

Nebraska I0G, Anti- Nebraska 128, It, will thus be seen that the Post, with all its strong An ti-Nebraska feeling,, only claims a majority of 22 in the House.. !Bhis majority will prove all sufficient to- defeat the Nebraska bill were it now to be brought forward as a1 new mearure, but the attempt to- repeal it is fv: different question, and upon that issue the Post will find it difficult,. ..{.-think it impossible, to obtain the vote its wnalyeia indicates.

Lagkr Bier—How it is Made.—An interesting lager bier trial came off in Petcrsburgh, Va., on Saturday, in which interesting lager bier statistics were brought out on oath, and may, thereforc.be believed. Mr Solomon Keyaer was the defendant, and was charged with keeping a disorderly bier saloon. A very respectable German witness in the ca:?e, defiOj d what lnger bier waa. He said it waa manul'acturedof malt and hops,.and'to make it better an extra amount of the latter are thrown in— that was the bier. This compound was placed in a barrel lined with a casing of rosin, and was laid in a cellar, from which laying in store wa3 derived the name lager. This was lager or "stock al*-*.— The witnc--. thought it. might- 1. i..,..t a, m-iu, but would not awiwbim- afunk.

Railroad Poetry*.—A correspondent of the Broome county Republican describes his jaunt over the Syracuse and Binghamptonrailroad, from Cortland, in the following poetical strain: So much I wrote in Cortland's bounds—and would have finished there, had not the down train whistle, resounded in the air. So shaking Fair- child by tbe band, who said come up again, I bid farewell to* e-rery fear, and jumped aboard the train.- Rushing round the hill side, darting o'er the plain* over the rivers and-under theroads, Van Bergin-drove his train.

Ah, poor, cnisli'd stricken heart! thou hast No home., or friend ou earth To cheer thee with their blandishment.., Nor love, nor joy, nor mirth. Park massy clouds obscure tho Ileav'aa— The birds have ceased to sing— While all thy thoughts are with the dead— Poor heart with folded wing I The hopes I cherislrd with delight, "Which youthful fancy rears, - That shone resplendent to my sight To which I clung for years— Are scattered like Autumnal leaves, To be restored uo more, Returnless, as the waves that dies Upon the distant shore. The frienda I priz;d the most, betray'd ; While those who lov'd nie best, Have long been in the church-yard laid, With clods upon their breast— And not a scene their presence -checr'd, An hour they gave to me, But seem by contrast more eudear'dj To mock my misery. And thus it is with Life's brief day From childhood's earliest hour ; The heart soon breaks in agony, Ami withers like a flower. Fhe no*..-. _-&_-0 lights the distant liilla With beauty's kindling ray. Till all our dreams of happiness fade, Aud pass In haste away. Ah, poor, chrush'd heart, it is too t/ue Thy pulse of joy hath fled, And all thy bright romantic droama Are numbered with the dead. The happy, blithesome hour_; long past. That never will return. Upon the present, shadows cast, Like moonlight on an urn. Oh, that I had not been—nor known The beautiful and fair That from this glorious earth hath flown, And left me in despair 1 Oh. that the lov'd who still remain, Had beeu as they, so true—* Then this poor heart could not complain, Nor death's dark presence woo. The morning's past—the noon hath come— The evening shadows 8y— I'm tending to tho lonely tomb Where all our sorrows die. My wing is broken—spirit crush'd 1 Poor heart, thou'rt piere'd and riv'n !— But all my woes will soon be hush'd In yonder siarry Ileav'n. SAY A KIND WORD WHEN" YOU CAPT. BY PEBDEBICK TENNYSON. What were life without some one to cheer us, Without a word or a .-mile on our way, And a friend who is faithfully near ns Wheu all but true friends are away ; The bravest of spirits have often Half failed in the race they ran, For a kind word, life's hardships to soften— So say a kind word when yon can. Each one of us owns to some failing, Though some may have more than the rest; But there's no good in heedlessly railing 'Gainst those that are striving their best; Remember a word spoke complaining, May blight every effort and plan, Which a kind one would help in attaining,— So say a kind word when you can. Oh! say a kind word, then, whenever , It will make a heart cheerful and glad, But chiefly—forget it, oh, never !— To the one that is hopeless aud sad, For there is no word so easy in saying ; So begin—if you hav'nt began— And never in life be delaying To say a kind word when .yon can. It is a difficult thing to pay a neat compliment to a pretty girl. Out West they never attempt it, but put it on thick as follows: "There is a girl in Benton county, Missouri, so killing pretty that she has to wear around her waist a spiked belt similar to those the farmers put ou colts' heads to keep them from sucking. This is the only means of keeping the young bucks from •n-ISS'ng her to death, and even with this shield it is said there is not a young gent in the neighborhood that docs uot bear spike-marks on his arms.'' THE LAUGHING HERO. AN INCIDENT OF THE MASSACRE AT GOLIAD. It was the morning of the 17th of March, 1830, Aurora, mother of dews and mistress of golden clouds, came, as she almost ever comes to the living scenery of the plains of Goliad—a thing of beauty, queen of the sky, on a throne of burning amber, robed in the crimson of fire, with a diadem of purple, and streamers of painted pink. Oh ! it was a glorious dawn for the poet to sing of earth, or the saint to pray heaven ; but poet's song nor saint's prayer made the matins of the place and the hour. Alas! no; it was a very different sort of music. A hundred hoarse drums roared the loud reveille that awoke four huudred Texan prisoners and their guard—four limes their number of Mexican soldiers—the b'litc of tho Chief Butcher's grand army, The prisoners were immediately summoned t0 parade before the post, in the main street of the village, and every eye sparkled with joy, and every tongue uttered the involuntry exclamation of confidence and hope—" Thanks, Santa Anna ! He is going to execute the treaty ! Wo shall be shipped bock to the United States! We shall see our friends once more!" Such were feelings which the American volunteers, and the few Texans among them, greeted the order to form into line. The line was formed and then broken into two columns, when every instrument of music in the Mexican host sounded a merry march, and they moved away with a quick step over the prairie towards the west. Five miuutes afterwards, a singular dialogue occurred between the two leaders of the front columns of prisoners : "What makes you walk so lame, Col. Neil? — Are yon wounded?'' asked a tall, handsome man, with blue eyes, aud bravery flashing forth in all their beams.' "Col. Fannin, 1 walk lama to keep from being wounded; do you comprehend ?'" replied the other with a laugh, and sueh a laugh as no words might describe—it was so loud, so luxurious, like the roar of the breakers of a sea of humor ; it was, in short, a laugh of the inmost heart. ■' I do not comprehend you, for I am no artist in riddles," rejoined Fannin, smiling himself at the ludicrous gayety of his companion, so strangely ill-timed. " You discover that I am lame in each leg," said Col. Neil, glancing down at the members indicated, and mimicking tlie movements of a con-' firmed cripple, as he laughed louder than ever.— "And yet," he added in a whisper, "I have neither the rheumatism iu my knees, nor corus on my toe.3, but I have two big revolvers in my boots!" "That is a violation ot the treaty by whieh we agreed to deliver up our arms," Col. Fannin mournfully suggested. " You will see. however, that I shall need them before the sun is an hour high," replied Neil.— "Ah! Fannin, you do not know the treachery of these base Mexicans. At the instant the. gun rose in a sky of extraordinary brilliancy, and a million flower-cups flung the-i' rich odors abroad over the green prairie, as an offering to the lord of light, when the mandate to "halt-" was given by one of Santa Anna's Aid's and the two columns of prisoners were broken up and scattered over the plain, in s.i:all hollow squares, encircled on every side by Mexican infantry and troops of horse with loaded muskets and drawn swords. And then came a momentary pause, awful in its stillness, aud disturbed only by an occasional shriek of terror, as the most timid among the captives realized tho impending storm of fire and extinction of life's last hope. And then the infernal work of wholesale murder was begun, and a scene ensued such as scarcely might be matched in the very annals of hell itself. The roar of musketry burst in successive peals like appalling claps of thunder, but could not utterly drowu the prayers of the living, the screams of the wounded, and more terrible groans of the dying! Col. Fannin fell among the first victims, but not so the giant Neil. With the order of the Mexican officer to his' men to fire, our hero stooped almost to the earth, so that the volley passed entirely over him. He waited not for a second ; thrusting a hand into a leg of each boot, he arose with a couple of six-shooters, the deadly revolvers, and commenced discharging them with the quick rapidity of lighting into the thickest ranks of his foes. Panic stricken with surprise and fear, the Mexicans recoiled and obened a passage, through whieh Neil bounded with the spring of a panther and iled away as if wings were tied to his heels, while half a dozen horseman gave chase. For a while it seemed doubtful "whether the giant Colonel would not distance even these, so much had the perils of the occasion increased the natural elasticity of his mighty muscles. But presently a charger fleeter than the rest might be discerned gaining on his human rival, and approaching so near that the dragoon raised his sabre for a coup de grace.— Neil became conscious of his danger, aud nastily slackened his sp-**ed, till the hot stream of smoke from the horse's nostrils appeared to mingle with his very-hair; -."id then, wheeling suddenly, he fired another rouid from a revolver, and the rider tumbled from the saddle. Noil then renewed his flight. A mad yell of grief and rage broke from the remaining troopers as they witnessed the fate of Iheir comrade, aud its effect was immediately evident in the augmented caution of their pursuit— for they galloped afterwards in oue body, thereby greatly retarding their progress, so that Neil reached the river before them. He paused not a mon*cnt, but plunged headlong down the steep bank into the current, and struck for the other shore. The dragoons discharged their side-arms ineffectually, -and gave over the chase. In a few minutes Neil landed, and as soon as he felt satisfied that he was really saved, burst into an insuppressible convulsion of laughter, exclaiming : " It will kill kill me ! Just to see how aston" ished the yellow devils looked when I hauled the _-evolvers out of my boots !" Such was Col. John Neil—possessing a fund of humor that no misfortune could ever exhaust, and a flow* of animal spirits which would have enabled him to dance on the graves of all his dearest friends, or to have sung Yankee Doodle at his own execution. I.ntc from Oregon. By the Steam Ship Columbia, we have news to lhe 26th ultimo. From the Statesman we clip the following : SEBlOBt. Oc-OTlHtENCB. General Palmer passed through Servalles yesterday. He has effected treaties with all the Southern Indians. Frora him we learn of the ftllowing melancholy occurrence. On the 26. ult., at the mouth of Rogue River, an Indian shot and wounded in the shoulder a miner ofthe name of James Buford.— Tho Indian was arrested by Ben Wright, Indian Agent, and examined by a Justice and bound over. The miners were anxious to lynch the Indian, and declared their purpose to do it. U. S. troops were sent for to assist the officer, and eleven men were sent down. With them the Indian was placed in a canoe, to be taken to the Council ground, and from thence to Port Orford to await the sitting of the Court. It was about dark that the canoe started up the river. They had not been gone long before another canoe was heard approaching them, in which the forms of three men coulubc distinguished. They paddled alongside and fired, killing the Indian in custody and another Indian that was paddling. The soldiers then fired upon the aUodf- ing canoe, and killed the three men instantly. They proved to be James Buford, who was sliot by the Indi.m, Mr. Hankins, partner of Buford, and one O'Brien—trader. The last named had a wife at Whale-burg, at the mouth of Rogue River. An inquest was held upon the bodies ofthe three men. Great excitement prevailed among the citizens. Latest News from Gov. Stevens.—W. H. Pearson, Esq., of the Government express, arrived in this city on-thursday last, direct fromFortBenton, which place he left on the 30th of August. Mr. P. has made the trip from the Dalles to Fort Benton and back to this city, a distance of two thousand miles, in thirty-five days. Gov. Stevens and party were all well, and would remain at Fort Benton until the arrival of the supplies and goods, sent out as presents to the Indians. Commissioner Cum- mings arrived at Fort Benton from St. Louis, via Yellow Stone river, on the 10th of August. A party had been sent out to invite the Crow tribe to the council ground, with the view of making a treaty between the Crows and the Blackfeet, Grosventres- Pagans, Bloods, tfce. The Blackfeet, as is well known, have for a long time been at war with all the neighboring Indians, as well as hostile to the whites. Mr. Pearson thinks tho prospects of a treaty with the Blackfeet are favorable. Re tup. ned.—The Military expedition under command of Major Hallar, U. S. A., has returned in safety to the Dalles. Mrs. Captain Peck.—Such In the name upon which a female, claiming to be the commander of the canal boat Philander Jubupson, was arrested yesterday, on a charge ot assault and battery upou a Hercules named Sutters, .who differed with her about his wages. The case was settled, and Mrs. Catherine Peck, Captain of the Philander Jubupson, discharged. Two hours later she was re-arrested, charged with assaulting and attempting to pitch into the canal the former owner of tbe Philander Jubupson, for daring to express his surprise at her lack of punctuality in making instalments in payment for the Philander Jubupson aforesaid, as agreed to in the bill of sale. Residents, along the liue ofthe Erie canal will do well to look out for this Amazonian, Mrs. Catherine Peck. Captain of the Philander Jubupson. She is a (i screamer," as the Hoosier would say.—Albany Argus. Thus is Life.—If we die to-day, the sun will shine as brightly, and the birds sing as sweetly tomorrow. Business will not be suspended a moment, and the great mass will not bestow a thought upon our memories. Is he dei>d? will be the sol- emu inquiry of a few as they pass to their work. But no oue will missus except our immediate connections, aud iu a short time they will forget us, and laugh as merrily as when we sat beside them. Thus shall we all, now active in life, pass away. Our children crowd close behind us. and they will soon be gone. In a few years, not a living being can say, I remember him ! Wo lived in another age, and did business with those who slumber in tbe tomb. Thus is life. How rapidly it passes. "BarN-M's Baby Show is a humbug, and will prove a failure iu Boston," exclaimed a man in our hearing yesterday. " Shall you go to see it ?" wc inquired. '"Yes!" was the reply—" my wife and diiuglifers are going to see the babies, and I'm going just to see tho humbug, but I don't believe they'll make much, aad I kuow a thousand people of the same opinion." " And every thousand that attends," we. remarked, ';will pay Barnum $1_., let their opinion be what it may ; and as there will at least, oue hundred thousand persons patronize him, tlie probabilities of a failure seem to us rather small."—Boston Times. A. SICK COtlMTRY FOR NERVOUS ______". A Texas correspondent desaribes the domestic productions of that favored land in glowing terms: Texas is the paradise of reptiles and creeping things. Rattle and moccasin snakes are too nu- merons even to shake a stick at ; the bite of the former is easily cured by drinking raw whisky till it produces intoxication ; but for the bite of the latter there is no cure. The tarantula is a pleasant institution to get up a quarrel with. He is a spider with a body about the size of hen's egg, and legs five or six inches long, and covered with long black hair. He lies in the cattle tracks, and if you see him, move out of his path, for his bite is absolutely certain death, and he never gets out of the war, but cau jump eight or ten feet to inflict his deadly bite. Then, there is the centipede, furnished with au unlimited number of legs, each leg armed with a claw, inflicting a separate wound. If he walks over you at night you will have cause to repent it for many months to come, as the wound is of a particularly poisonous nature, and and vcrydificult to heal. The stinging lizard ia a lesser evil, the sensation of its wound being likened to the application of red hot iron to the person, but one is too thankful to escape with life to con- aider that any annoyance. But the insects, flying, running, jumping, creeping, digging, humming, stinging, they are everywhere. Ask for a cup of water, and the rejoinder in our camp invariably is: "Will you have it with a bug, or wilhout The horned frog is one of the greatest curiosities here, and is perfectly harmless. It has none of the cold, slimy qualities of its northen brethren but is frequently made a pet of. Chameleons are innumerable, darting over the prairies in every direction with inconceivable swiftness, and exercising their faculty of changing their color to correspond with the color of the object under which they may be. The woods on tho banks of the bay- ousare alive wi tli mocking birds, singing most beautifully, and feathered game is abundant, and very tame, as it is rarely sought after. The only varieties that I have ever seen, are the quail, pa- trldgc, snipe, mallard, plover and prairie hen. GUAUDIAX AXGELS. A»sti*action of MiND.—Abstraction of the mind and employment iu one puvsuit sometimes gives rise to'odd occurrences. Of Dr. Robert Hamilton, the author of a celebrated " E_say on the National Debt," it is said that ho pulled off his hat to his own wife iu the street, aud apologized for not hav- htg the pleasure of her acquaintance ; that he went to his classes in the college, ia the dark mornings, -with one of her white stockings on one leg and one of his black ones ou the other ; lhat he often spent the who time uf meeting iu moviug from the table the hats of the students, which they as constantly returned. He would run againstacow in the road, turn round, "beg her pardon, and hope she was not hurt. At other times he would run against posts, aud chide them for not getting out of his way. There are those who believe that it is the especial interest of tho ■'' loved and lost" tobe hereafter the guardiati watchers of the living who are left behind. Such a persuasion has dried many a muorner's tear. In the overwhelming grief which death brings, it is a relief unspeakable to think that the lament parent, the cherished partner, or the darling child are still with us, separated only by a division thin as air, sympatizing us to holy actions. Often ha? such a conviction cheeked the rising thought of evil, and turned the tempting and erring back to the paths of virtue. We would fain believe that those sweet innocents who are given to their parents for a while, and who are theu taked away just as they have begun to weave themselves about our hearts, are angels in diguise. sent to wean us from earthly things and revive in our souls the longing paradise. God spiritualize; us iu this way, when all other means fail. There arc praying mothers, whose sons are far away, to whom this belief has sometimes come with peculiar beauty. Oh 1 what inexpressible joy to think that guardian angels attend the wanderer in the watches of the night, in the storm at sea, on. the wide prairie, ou the black Sierra. Grown men, separated by vast oceans from their early homes, often feel as if some invisible presence was with them—a presence as though a celestial spirit, won by a mother's petitions, constantly protected their footsteps. There is a German lenged which says that each of us, at birth, has a guardian augel appointed, who remains with us untiil doath, unless, driven away by our remorseless. Alas! for those who have banished their invisible attendant. What a dissolution theirs must be, as they go out into the dark eternity to come, lonely wanderers, whom no messenger from paradise takes hy the hand.— Peterson. TWENTY-TWO DAYS LATER FROM-CHINA. VISIT OF THE Al.LIEI. SQ,I. ABUO__ TO CASTIUE'S BAY. The Rebellion .—Pirn tot. By the arrival of tbe brig Acmel, Capt. Engarx, flfty-ono days from Hong-Kong, we haTe dates from that pert to the 7th August. the enguuht-u. of the russian* flk1ct ry tub a:xtj-;.-.. The following information is conveyed in a letter received at Kong-Kong from Shanghai, dated 5th, l-j-5. H. M. brig Bittern arrived here on tho evening of the 2_!d, in company with the Sybille and Hornet. Shewentup the gulf of Tarlary. At Coata'a Bay, on the ?0t6 May, they sighted the Russian Admiral in the Aurora, 50 guns, two corvettes, a brigantino, steamer Vostocfe, and store ship Men- M-.ji .*.*!.', The Spartan had gone eastward thro' tin* Pgrueise Straits to look far a challenge. Commodore Elliot endeavored to entice the Russians out ofthe bay. but without success. Tho Hornet went in and exchanged a few shots— finding their force nol Eufficiently strong tho Bittern was -tte*pat.b.6 to Hakodade for the Admiral. She reached thii. place in five days. The Admiral got under way, but waited in Perneise Straits for the [unction of the French frigates, Ax., absent ou a cruise. They (vessels names not mentioned, but we hear tbi Spartan and the Styx were among the n-jinlieri proceeded up the gulf, but on their arrival found that the Russians had escaped in a fog. The pas- Bftge at tiie gulf towards the north of the Amour is understood to be (innavigable, but it is said th<. Russians are acquainted with a deep and narrow channel. The Winchester returned to aud was at Hakodade on the 8th. The Bittern is refitting here. This is all the information we are yet iu Tlie State Fair.

Rattler, says the Register, of Aug. 1. which had gone ia search of pirates, had returned. In attempting to overhaul a large junk, supposed to be the flag ship of the head man of a squadron of seventeen, four other vessels, two of which were the Lorchas of the Eaglet's convoy, were allowed to get away, after being at the Rattler's mercy.— The Rattler, steaming between Tylo and Cow-kok, iiad just sighted Kuian eastern head, when it was found there was not sufficient water to go in further, and she had to return, the pirates in saucy bravado, saluting the Rattler with iheir broadsides as she hove about. Yesterday afternoon the Rattler again left, towing the Eaglet and two of Iho U. S. S. Powhatan's pinnaces, with ninety small arm men aud marines of the Powhatan's crew. Battle with PttiATEs.- The same paper, of tho 7th of August, gives the following additional facts: The particulars of the last cruise of the Rattler have not yet reached us. but we uuderstad that her last expedition, in which she was accompanied by a detachment of boats from the U. S. Steamer Powhatan has resulted very seriously, uo less than' six seamen and marines havicg been killed and sixteen wounded in the affray with the pirates near Kulan. Commander Fellowes, Lieut. Regram, of the Powhatan, and other officers, narrowly escaped death from the blowing up of a junk, alongside of which they chanced to be. Ten of the piratical flats were destroyed, but not until the greater part of their crews had been killed, and eleven captured trading junks were released. Sixteen of the smaller piratical junks escaped. Prqc.-___- of the REHELr.iox.—Dates had bean received from Shanghai to the 25 July. The Pekiu Gazettes report the usual amount of success on either side, aud the degredation of some unfortunate generals. Nothing decisive had takeu place. WHO ABU ix the Majority.—J. Neely Johnson, according to the returns, has been elected Governor, and the Know Nothings claim his election, as a victory. Well, this must be admitted to be true, but it is their last, aud except as to the immediate power conferred, of no consequence. That this State is as thoroughly Democratic as ever it was we have not the least doubt, nor can a doubt upon the subject be entertained by any reflecting mind on the side opposed to us. The State Journal has entered into a calculation on the subject, which we think is not only plausible but conclusive. "From almost every county iu the State," it says, ''reports reach us of Know Nothing outrages and frauds perpetrated at the polls on the day of election, aud assurances are given that every material fact will in due time be spread be foi o the people. Tho vote returned will not fall far short of 100,000, being an increase of nearly 20,000 ever the election of 1853. aud about 20,000 over tlie vote of last year. The vote cast for Gov. Uigler will reach 45,000. being a majority of nearly 8,000 on the Congressional vote of 1815. It should also bo remembered, that by the decision of the Supreme Court not less than six thousand naturalized citizens were denaturalized—some on the ground that their papers had been destroyed or lost, and others, and a greater number,because their papers were declared illegal, having been issued by the County Courts, Courts of Sessions and Supreme Court. Add these six thousand to the vote of Gov. Bigler. (for no man with a K. N. ticket in his hand was excluded ft ora'voting,) and we have 51,000 votes, being a clear majority over Johnson's vote, as reported. The estimate of votes excluded by tbej decision of the Supreme Couit is made upon the best data attainable, and we think is rather under thau over the mark.'-'—[.Times and Tran.

ChaxG-KQ the Name of a Po st Office.—Another regulation of the Post Office Department, to whieh our attentiou has been called, directs that when the Post-master General shall change the name of an existing post office the order will not take effect until the post-master shall have executed new bonds and returned them to the appointment off.ee. When the bond shall have been thus executed and returned, the name designated by the Post-master General will be used from and after the firs', day of the next succeeding quarter. But no post-master ran change the name of his office without the order of tbe department , and be is expected to be particular in seeing uone other substituted. He must not remove the site of the office from tiie usual post road, or make any material change in such eite, withcut the consent of the department. Registered Letters.—Several weeks ago wo stated that post-musters should make no record or marks upon registered letters by whieh the fact of their containing money or other -valuables may be suspected or made known, some pust-masters having written the word '-registered" upon the batks of letters. Our attention has again been called to thje feot, inconsequence of some post-masters still continuing to so endorse letters mailed at tbeir offices, and we have been requested to say that it is contrary lo the postollice instructions thus to distinguish a registered letter. We were informed that in some offices a stamp had been ustd. [Tin.cs and Transcript Sfort m Kextt n;v.—Hunter—I say' friend is there anything to B.OOt about here?
