Thefollowing is dipt.. Semmes's recent speech, delivered eg Kingston, Jamaica, as reported by oue ofthe local papers : O.ipt, Semm.es thanked th c assemblage and the public for thc cordial reception be bad received' und expressed his delight at the sympathy which he had detected iti the community for the cause he represented. When approaching our beautiful island, bi;- first impressions were that feelings of prejudice might exist agaiust him, butwitb great pleasure be fo-upd himself'disappointed, and instead he founded Hue sympathy. (Cheers.) But v.-hy after all, ■■hotild he anticipate any" other reception ? Had he not come to a British colony, and was lie not received by Englishmen, and to whom more dear than* to them were freedom aud liberty, and for what else were the Confederate States Lighting? [Loud cheers! They had been caiicd ■■ ;:vir:!s;'! but were they? Iu England be had tr.v the -ame cordial reception wbich he received hoi-e; nine tenth of the people of that country being sympathizers with the South ; but he bad founiS a few, ouly a few, who asked whether lie eould sustain Iceland and Wales were tbey to rise iu rebeliou against England ; whether in such case, tbey like the South, would not be rebels? He "replied, "So." the condition ot the compact under which iko States were united, from the first day the thirteen were banded together, was that each State had within herself ber own free sovereignty, and when the Southern States desired to sever thenjsejyes from the North, what more did they do than follow the origiual example, when as' a colonial possession of England, .America fo tight, :o; a-id gained her liberty? [Hear.] No, they were not rebels; they were fighting lor tbe grc.v, cai:se nearest the heart of every man, aud esneoi.iiiy a.i English man's [cheers,] for the same liberty lor which Englishmen themselves fought till tbe glorious event of Magna Charta. [Hear.] But again tbey had been called pirates, aud been accused ot interrupting commerce ; and further of destroying English property. This is pronounced a falsehood,' for in his whole career be never touched a dollar's worth o£ British property. [Hear bear.J] True he had seen through the blind misrepresentation that would, under the pretense of its beiug British, protect property fairly hia prize, and he bad hteffied such attempts at de. cepiioa ; but, he repeated, never iu hi life had he destroyed oue dollar of British property. [Cheers.] As lar as others-Mae aifecting the commerce of the Nortli, he admitted it, and iu doing so, could uo more than say that he followed the exauraple in tills respect ■... Great Britain herself, who never failed vigilantly to pursue the same course wheu she bad a war on hand. [Hear hear.] But ultimately ia; ipt be not hope that apart from national cous^leratious, even commercially, the world would benefit by a severance of the South from the North ! for while the South uow fought to be relfeVed ot 100 per cent, 011 goods from the North, tee Southern perls would be thrown opeu lo the world, rrom Lyons in France would they get silk for their wives and and daughters. From England, broadcloth for the coats of their sons and them.-e;ve-_—aud who would say, that iu the course ol lime, they might not, as the advocates of free tradg g rt -veir from the Yankee themselves theii onions aod their pails?

Senator Swan, of the Massachusetts Legislature, ie an ani.i-iiumner Republican. Iu a speech made pending the Senatorial election, he threw some new light upon the old John invasion. We quote: I come now Mr. President, to what is known in history as flic raid of Johu Brown. This expedition was plaaaed and fitted out in Boston, and its t&peuses defrayed by subscription. Tiie day lie Bt&rtfcd for Harper's Ferry on his deed of murder be dined in room No. 4 Parker House, in company with e ime ol ibe most ardent and zealous supporters cf Mr. Sumner, and for this reason I allude to it.

He knew the penalty il be failed in his enterprise, He carried hie life in Ids haud forfeited, and be paid the penalty manfully. The Republicau party low disowu tire act ; ihey now call him a mouoi aniac, ftn Insane man ; but wben tbe telegraphic wires, wilb lighting speed, brought the news of hia death to Hew England, so depraved at that lime was the public sentiment here, that tbe village chai ah I alia lolled out his funeral knell, aod tbe miid.v.;.-: 0: God, with a few honorable exceptions, prayed iti their pulpits that the departed spirit ©flba patriot saint might rest in peace Thta :■(:'., Hr.

I know the names of the persons Who were esgaged iu this; treasonable, brutal Iran* Mr. President, will not detain you longer. When Anthony Burns- the fugitive slave, was confined iu tbe Court House iu this oity, a meeting was held at Fanenil Hall to consider the subject. Teodore Parker, the 1 wbo presented the gun which was so affectionately received by his Excellency, and tbe Rev. Thomas W. Hi-Sgin&on, were there. Mr Parker, in concluding an eloquent speech, alluded to the fact that a slave was confined iu tbe Court House, und exclaimed in substance : "Wby stand we here idle ? To tlie rescue ! " A rush was immediately made for the Court House, and at.the door stood a poor laboring man, Mr. Batchetder. a night watch. His wife and two -tie children were probably sleeping quietly at ime, possibly dreaming of him as be was toiling for their dajly bread. The crowd demanded ad- ttance, he refused and was immediatly assassinated upon the spot. Wbo killed him the world iverknow! These men, Mr. President, were the nfidential friends and supporters of Mr. Sumnei'i ,d for this reason I have alluded to the subject. itter -from Bo-Jim* Sc.oU, _U_ti* of Calvary CiniiiJi, t_;iii Francisco. The following extract from a letter written by Doctor Scott, lately pastor of Calvary Church iu .y, to ti friend resident bere, have been placed at our service for publication, says the San roncisco Bulletin, lt will interest many persons iu this community : BiRMiXGiiAM, England, J Feb. i. 1863. _ I am happy to receive your let ter dated in New York, January llth, aud hasten to reply as to schools in France, etc. You may be surprised when I tell you that it is my own and Mrs. Scott's opinion, after considerable experience aud examination, that there is DO female scliool in Europe equal to the Spiugier Institute ud our other first class schools in America. By travel in Europe oue gets au enlarged view of the world ; but Europeans wbo travel iu America an profited quite as much as Americans are who trav el in Europe. I found no female school iii Franc where I would be willing to leave my daughter The best place for your wife and daughter would be Geneva. I think that other Sau Francisco ladies have* there found a Pension with whieh the; are pleased. Ttie characteristics of a French boarding school are light studying and starvation. Tbere are sorm able Protestant Min is! ers in France,, and some pious people, but tbe public sentimeut is overwhelm iogly Romish and irreligious. Paris is uow quit* as expensive aB San Francisco. Eiviug in Franc has risen greatly during tbe last ten years. Fine clothing is out of place in Europe. Ther is no difficulty iu a lady coming here without a gentleman or servants ; none is needed, she ca: travel any where without au escort. Fine Freucl goods cau be bought us cheaply in San Francisc as in Paris at retail. Tbe knowledge of the world to be gained by coming lo Europe, I consider lhe best and greatest thing the trip would do. I hope and pray that the war is near its end, and that I shall soon be able to return, when 1] hope to see you in San Francisco. My health was ■er better thau oow, and the geueral health of my family is good. I am stiil preaching in this city. Yours, etc., Wm. A.iCOTT. -. A TEltltlBLK TRAGEDY. On a pinewood shed, in an alley dark, where scattered moonbeams flitted through a row of lettering chimneys, aud an awning, torn and droop- fell, strode back and forth, with stiff aud tense drawn muscles, and peculiar tread, a cat. Norval. Ou yonder neighboring shed biS father fought tbe cats tiiat came in squi from streets beyond, in search of food aud strai adventure. Grim war he courted ; and bis twisted tail, and spine upheaving iu fantastic curves, and cla distended, and ears flatly pressed agaiust a head thrown back defiantly, told of impending strife. Witb eyes agleam, aud screeching blast of w and steps as of tbe dew, Young Norval crept along tbe splintered edge, and gazed a moment through tbe darkness down, with tall awag triumphantly. Then with an imprecation and a growl—perhaps au oath, in direct vengeance hissed—he started back, and crooked in body like a letter S, or rath- inverted IT—stood in fierce expectancy, well. With eyeballs glaring and ears aslant, and open mouth, iu which two rows at fangs stood forth in dread conformity, slow np a post from out tbe dark below, a head appeared.* A dreadful tocsiu of determined strife Young Norval uttered ; then, with face uoblanched, and moustache stranding straight before his nose, aud tail flung wildly to the passing breeze, he stepped back in-cautious iovitatiou to the loe. Approaching the otber, and with preparaiions dire, each cat surveyed the vantage of the. field. Around they walked, with tails uplifted in the air, while froth their mouths, in accents hissing with consuming rage, dropped brief, but awful seuteu- ces of malignant hate. I Thrice round the roof they went in circle, eacb with eyes upou the foe iuteutly beut ; then side- wise moving, as is wont with cats, gave one long- drawn, terrific, savage y-e-o-w, and in they went, An hour they struggled in tempestuous might ; then fainter grew the squall of war, tin sounds were bushed. Then went I forth with lamp n hand, and by its ghostly light surveyed the field. What saw I? Six claws, one ear ; of teeth, perhaps a handful, and save fur, naught else, except a solitary tail That tail was Nerval's—by a ring I knew it. Tin. ear was—but we'll let the matter rest. The tail will do without thWac. %fH i to be "t don't know,''said Erin, "but I'd there when yon do it/' ■; Well," said the doctor, ''if I convince yon that tbey are injurious to your health, will you abstain from their use ?

" Well," said the doctor, " do you ever experience a slight dizziness of the brain on going to bed ? " "l"do; indeed I do." iJAnd a sharp pain through tbe temples, in and about tlie eyes, in the morniug ? ■__ ■■ Troth, I do sir.''

Of the massacre of the Boulevarda on the | 4th of December. 1852, speaking of tho (daughter from tbe Rue do Seutier to the western extremity of tbe Boulevard Montmartre, he observes tbat the slayers were thousands of soldiers, and the slain were a number that will never be counted; but among all those slayers aud slain Ibere was uot one combatant. ''What happened was a slaughter ofunarmed men, women, and children. Where tbey !ay, the dead bore witness. Corpses lying apart struck deeper into tbe people's memory tbia the dead wbo were lying in heaps. Some were haunted with tlie look of an old man with silver hair, wljose only weapon was the umbrella which lay at liis side. Some shuddered because of seeing lhe gay idler of the Boulevard sitting dead against the wall of a house, and scarce parted irom the cigar wbich lay on the ground near his hand. Some carried iu their minds the sight of a printer's boy leaning buck against a shop front. because, though the lad was killed, the proof sheets wbicb be was carrying had remained in bis hands, and were red with his blood, aud were fluttering in lhe wind."' One grand olject was gained by these military operations, Tbey effectually stopped tbe iaugii against the silent, torpid man who had undertaken to succeed his uncle. Tiie comic side of the plot of December 2d passed quite out of view. The new power was from tbat time a thing which ali men respect, "a great fact." One of tlie colonels engaged declared tbat his regiment alone had killed 2,400 meu. Paris on tbe 5th of December looked like a city struck down by a plague. Tiie Parisians are not afraid to look on street fighting, but an English writer says tbat some of the people retreating from the scene of slaughter were of a strange livid hue, whicb he bad never before seen. Thus, then, Louis Bonaparte was delivered, at once and forever, from tbe ridicule wbich until lhat day bad incessantly pursued bim. France was effectually cowed, and now was the time to disarm her. In a few weeks 20,000 men selected in the belief that they were citizens who would dare something for tbe honor and liberty of ihei country, were seized and transported wilhout form of law under a retro-operative decree oi the plotters.

Iiis within our own memory Ibat Father Matthew converted the entire people irom whisky into milk and wi.ter drinkers; and now, in America, tbey have recently become totally changed—and fur the better. It Is not long since tbe Irish were spoken of in our public papers as'■ Tbe dirty, low Irish, wbo infest our cities:'' "The idle, turbulent Itrisb, that are a curse and a disgrace to our country." It is not fouryears since every Irishman in Massachusetts holding aa oflice of public trust was iguominiously dismissed, tbeir convents torn down, and tbeir etrapelB burned to the ground. Yet to-day we lind this temarkable people totally changed. Tbey liave seen their errors ; bave benefitted by liie lessons taught tiiem ; and from beiug " miserable, filthy, pauper thieves,'' have become the people of all others most beloved by the Great American People. Tbe Press no longer calls tbem "Papists," no longer "dirty;" they have becouie: "The gallant L ish," "The hard-working, tho honest, moral and religions Lis!)*" who liave -poured out their blood on every battle field."

TICKPfOR & FIELDS, 135 Washington street, Boston, Mass A widow, whose lands supply rich grazing for a thousand cattle, is an attractive grasa widow. W. A. Bicil.vndson**.—Some oftbe Republican papers are very severe on Richardson of Illinois, since bis election to tbe U. S. Senate. Hu is called a '" butternut," "copperhead," '-traitor,' whose ' sympathies' are «ll witb the rebels "for whom he would be fighting, if he were not a cowardly braggart."' We cannot say as to where Richardson's '■ sympbathies" are enlisted, but we do know, that tbose who picked him up for a coward are very much mistaken in lbe man, as lbe following incident which we have on good authority, will illustrate. At tiie disastrous battle of Bull's Run, Richardson visited the field in company wilh several Republican members of Congress, wbo were full of patriotism and anxious to see the li„'bt. Pretty soon after tbey bad taken up a position where they could obtain a good view of the contest, one ol the Federal batteries was forced to fall back near to where the parly stood. Presently a couple of shells came whizzing through tbe air and burst right over the battery, killing five or six of tiie gunners and tearing up the ground most fearfully. This v.*as too much for the nerves of the valorous Republicans, and taking lo their heels us though thed—I was after them, tbey frantically called out to Richards'on to '"come, let's retire, it's get- ling daugerous." ''Dangerous he d—d. come back and let's help work this battery." shouted Richardson, aud throwing oil bis coal he assisted the gunners, uutil an officer rode tip aud ordered the battery to ietir*\ Tue Numbek <*» Words in Uas.—It is a curious thing tbat with some 125.000 English words people can get ou witb a very few. D'Oreey, a philologist of ability, records that a country eleruyman \p England fold bim that some of the parts had not three hundred words in tiieir vocafnlary. On tiie average, the childreu of persons with ordinary education do uot use more than two hundred words, un. til tbe age of ten. Max Muller says: "A wt.11 educated person in England, wbo has been at pub" lie school aud at the university, who reads the Bible, bis Shakespeare, tbe Times, and all the books of Mudies Library (i. e. nineteen twentieths of ah the books published in England) seldom uses more than three thousand or four thousand words in conversation. Accurate thinkers and close reason, ers, wbo avoid vague aud general expressions, and wait till th.ry find a word that exactly fits thei meaning, employ a large sioek ; and eloquent speakers may rise to tbe command of ten thonsand Shakespeare, who displayed a greater variety of expressions than probably any writer iu any language, produced all his plays with about fifteen thousand words. Milton's works are built up witb eight thousand ; and tbe Old Testament says all it has to say with five thousand sis hundred aud for. ty-two words." Charleston and in Dkfkxcks.—The London Times of February 18tb has a letter from Charleston, in whicli some interesting particulars are gtveu ot the place and its defences. Tbe writer says : To asscert tbat Charleston, in its present attitude, is impregnable, would obviously be a ludicrous fallacy but it is none tbe lees truo tbat it couid pot be taken wiLbout an enormous force attacking simultaneously by sea and land, and that the attack, even iu that case, would have to be conducted witb desperate valor before it could be successful. At tho entrance of the harbor, Fort Sumter, thoroughly repaired and mounting enormous guns en barbette, frowns at the blockaders, while the neighboring poinis, on Morris Island and Sullivan Island, from whicli tiie memorable attack upon the ISth ot April, 1861, was conducted, are iu possession of the Confederates, and are not likely to pass out of their hands. Behind Fort Sumter a new fort, whicb takes its name Irom General Ripley, and built almost entirely of palmetto wood, enhances tho difficulty to wbicb ships are exposed in approaching the town- Ail tbat two of tbe most accomplished engineer officers ofthe Confederacy—Gens. Lee and Beauregard—could suggest or devise bas been doue to strengthen tho town on the land side, Gen. Lee, before be was moved to Virginia and assumed his present high position, was for some time in command of Cbarleeion, and by him the first line of land defences was planed and executed. This lino has grown aud expanded at tbe inspiration of Geu- Beauregard, into a perfect network ot earth-works and redoubis reaching Irom Cooper river on tbo iioitii to Ashley river on tlie South. * * * * In addition to the other sea and iand defences of Charleston, great credit is due to its defenders for tlie energy with wbieh they have buiit and equipped two large iron-clad rams, which are now lying at the wlirirl, and are likely to be very prominently heard of if ever tbe long threatened assault shall fall on the devoted head of this -'pestilent nest of sedition.' Three otber similar iron-clad rams are in an advanced stage of progress. ***** It is hardly necessary to state that nothing has as yet beeen done te repair the damage inflicted upon Charleston by the the terrible fire which swept from river to river on December 12, 1861. From tba; moment until the present hour the fate of tlie city bas been so doubtful thit it has not been thought worth while to build up, in order that (as seemed at one time very probable) the Yankies might destroy. But the fearful havoc and devastation then inflicted upon the town, aud which were at the time triumphantly pointed at by the North as the work of incendiary negroes, [are Still awfully manifest, and place the fire of Charleston in tbe category of the great conflagrations of tbis century. Tbere seems every reason to belive that if the lar-re building iu wbieh I am now writing—the Mills House—bad caught, the fire would hare swept down, to the battery and consumed all tbe riehest and finest portions of tbe town. 0xi5 ITrxoRKD Thousand.—Tbe New York Post oftbe li>tfi ult. says : We understand it to be now iscertained fact that there are more than one dred thousand deserters from our army scattered over the country, loitering about the cities or skulking in tlie rural districts, wasting ia dissipation the money profusely expended by a generous people. Quincy, tbe couuty seat of Plumas, has neither a school bouse uor a church, allho' it contains tbat other great concomitant of civilization, a prison. The Standard thinks ft is the only county Beat iu this State or auy otber tbat cau boast of having no church or school building. How TiTBflENnsE axd Tar ark Made.—The immense forests iu North Carolina, wbicb cover tbe sandy ridges between tbe swamps and watercourses, consist alulost wholly of the long-leafed pine, tlie Finnspalustris ol the Southern States. From them is gathered one of tbe great etaples of North Carolina—tbe turpentine. These trees at maturity, are 70 to 80 feet iu height, aud Iheir truuks 18 or 20 feet in diameter near tbe base. Tbey grow close together,.very straight, and without brauohes lo two-thirds of their height, Overhead, tbeir interlocking branches form a continuous shady canopy ; while beneath, the grouud is covered wilb u thick, yellow mattln;*: of piue straw — clean, dry, level, and unbroken by undergrowth. The privilege of tapping the trees is generally farmed nut by the land-owner, at a stated price per thousand, about from $20 to £30. Under this privi- lige tbe laborer commences bis operations. During lbe winlerbe chops deep notches into tbe base if the tree, a few inches from the ground, aud, slanting inwards. Above lo the height of two or three fe t, the surface is scarified by chippiug off lbe bark .md outer wood. From this surface the res- iucous sap begins to flow about the middle Of March, at first very clowly, but more rapidly during the heat of the summer, and siowiy again as winter approaches. The liquid turpentine runs inlo the notches or boxes, as ihey are technically called, each holding from a quart to half a gallon This, as it gathers, is dipped ont with a wooden spoon, barreled and carried to market, where it commands tbu highest price. That wbicb oozes out and hardens upon tbe scarified surface of tbe tree is scraped down by an iron instrument into a bod, and is sold at au inferior price. Every year the process of scarifying la carried two or three feet higher np the trunk, until it reaches as high as a man can conveniently reach with bis long bandied cutter. When this ceases lo yeild, tbe same process is comnieued on tbe opposite side of the truik. An average annual yeild ia about 25 barrels of turpentine from 1,000 trees, and it ises- Umated that oue man will dip 10,000 boxes. Tbe trees at length die ijuuder tbese repeated operations. Tbey are then felled, split and burned far tar. The dead trees are pi-referred for tbis purpose, because wheu life ceases, the resinous tnat_ ter conceutrates in the interior layers oflhe wood. Iu building a tat kiln a small circular mouud of earth is first raised, d ■dining from tbe circumference to lbe center where a cavity is formed, communicating by a conduit with a shallow ditch sur- rouuding the mouud. Upon this foundation the split slickB are stacked to the height of 10 or 12 (eet. The stack i* then coveied with earth as in making charcoal, aud tlie fire applied through an opening at lhe top. As this continues to burn wilh a smouldering beat, the wuod is charred, aud the tar flows into the cavity in lhe ceutre, aod thence by thejeonduit into vessels sunk to receive it.—Scientific Ame-'icon. The editor who ki.-sed bis sweetheart, saying 'Please exchange.' is believed not to have exceeded tbe proper ''liberty of tbe press." Tbe man who tried soft soap to smooth the harshness of his wife's tongue, says it took off a little of the roughuees, but made i*. fly faster. r

Thefollowing is dipt.. Semmes's recent speech,
delivered eg Kingston, Jamaica, as reported by oue
ofthe local papers :
O.ipt, Semm.es thanked th c assemblage and the
public for thc cordial reception be bad received'
und expressed his delight at the sympathy which
he had detected iti the community for the cause he
represented. When approaching our beautiful
island, bi;- first impressions were that feelings of
prejudice might exist agaiust him, butwitb great
pleasure be fo-upd himself'disappointed, and instead he founded Hue sympathy. (Cheers.) But
v.-hy after all, ■■hotild he anticipate any" other reception ? Had he not come to a British colony,
and was lie not received by Englishmen, and to
whom more dear than* to them were freedom aud
liberty, and for what else were the Confederate
States Lighting? [Loud cheers! They had been
caiicd ■■ ;:vir:!s;'! but were they? Iu England be
had tr.v the -ame cordial reception wbich he received hoi-e; nine tenth of the people of that
country being sympathizers with the South ; but
he bad founiS a few, ouly a few, who asked whether
lie eould sustain Iceland and Wales were tbey to
rise iu rebeliou against England ; whether in such
case, tbey like the South, would not be rebels?
He "replied, "So." the condition ot the compact
under which iko States were united, from the first
day the thirteen were banded together, was that
each State had within herself ber own free sovereignty, and when the Southern States desired to
sever thenjsejyes from the North, what more did
they do than follow the origiual example, when
as' a colonial possession of England, .America
fo tight, :o; a-id gained her liberty? [Hear.] No,
they were not rebels; they were fighting lor tbe
grc.v, cai:se nearest the heart of every man, aud
esneoi.iiiy a.i English man's [cheers,] for the same
liberty lor which Englishmen themselves fought
till tbe glorious event of Magna Charta. [Hear.]
But again tbey had been called pirates, aud
been accused ot interrupting commerce ; and further of destroying English property. This is pronounced a falsehood,' for in his whole career be
never touched a dollar's worth o£ British property.
[Hear bear.J] True he had seen through the
blind misrepresentation that would, under the pretense of its beiug British, protect property fairly
hia prize, and he bad hteffied such attempts at de.
cepiioa ; but, he repeated, never iu hi life had he
destroyed oue dollar of British property. [Cheers.]
As lar as others-Mae aifecting the commerce of the
Nortli, he admitted it, and iu doing so, could uo
more than say that he followed the exauraple in
tills respect ■... Great Britain herself, who never
failed vigilantly to pursue the same course wheu
she bad a war on hand. [Hear hear.] But ultimately ia; ipt be not hope that apart from national cous^leratious, even commercially, the world
would benefit by a severance of the South from
the North ! for while the South uow fought to be
relfeVed ot 100 per cent, 011 goods from the North,
tee Southern perls would be thrown opeu lo the
world, rrom Lyons in France would they get
silk for their wives and and daughters. From
England, broadcloth for the coats of their sons and
them.-e;ve-_—aud who would say, that iu the course
ol lime, they might not, as the advocates of free
tradg g rt -veir from the Yankee themselves theii
onions aod their pails? [Hear, hear, and a voice.
" and wooden nutmegs ;" laughter.] Capt. Sem-
mes again acknowledged the kindness he had received ill moat cordial and effective terms.
Tilt Join 1 Brown "Raid.
Senator Swan, of the Massachusetts Legislature,
ie an ani.i-iiumner Republican. Iu a speech made
pending the Senatorial election, he threw some
new light upon the old John invasion. We quote:
I come now Mr. President, to what is known in
history as flic raid of Johu Brown. This expedition was plaaaed and fitted out in Boston, and its
t&peuses defrayed by subscription. Tiie day lie

be dined in room No. 4 Parker House, in company
with e ime ol ibe most ardent and zealous supporters cf Mr. Sumner, and for this reason I allude to
it. John Brown was a bold man; he bad the courage Ur attempt 'o execute what the cowardly ac-
ce.-v(. r:..- to tbe murder dared not attempt to do.
He knew the penalty il be failed in his enterprise,
He carried hie life in Ids haud forfeited, and be
paid the penalty manfully. The Republicau party
low disowu tire act ; ihey now call him a mouoi
aniac, ftn Insane man ; but wben tbe telegraphic
wires, wilb lighting speed, brought the news of
hia death to Hew England, so depraved at that
lime was the public sentiment here, that tbe village chai ah I alia lolled out his funeral knell, aod
tbe miid.v.;.-: 0: God, with a few honorable exceptions, prayed iti their pulpits that the departed

Thta :■(:'., Hr. President, was the death-blow to the
peace of the Uhioo. Without it, Virgiuia would

Mr. President,
will not detain you longer. When Anthony Burns-
the fugitive slave, was confined iu tbe Court
House iu this oity, a meeting was held at Fanenil
Hall to consider the subject. Teodore Parker, the
1 wbo presented the gun which was so affectionately received by his Excellency, and tbe Rev.
Thomas W. Hi-Sgin&on, were there. Mr Parker, in
concluding an eloquent speech, alluded to the fact
that a slave was confined iu tbe Court House, und
exclaimed in substance :
"Wby stand we here idle ? To tlie rescue ! "
A rush was immediately made for the Court
House, and at.the door stood a poor laboring man,
Mr. Batchetder. a night watch. His wife and two
-tie children were probably sleeping quietly at
ime, possibly dreaming of him as be was toiling
for their dajly bread. The crowd demanded ad-
ttance, he refused and was immediatly assassinated upon the spot. Wbo killed him the world
iverknow! These men, Mr. President, were the
nfidential friends and supporters of Mr. Sumnei'i
,d for this reason I have alluded to the subject.

The following extract from a letter written by
Doctor Scott, lately pastor of Calvary Church iu
.y, to ti friend resident bere, have been
placed at our service for publication, says the San
roncisco Bulletin, lt will interest many persons
iu this community :
BiRMiXGiiAM, England, J
Feb. i. 1863. _
I am happy to receive your let
ter dated in New York, January llth, aud hasten
to reply as to schools in France, etc. You may be
surprised when I tell you that it is my own and
Mrs. Scott's opinion, after considerable experience aud examination, that there is DO female
scliool in Europe equal to the Spiugier Institute
ud our other first class schools in America. By
travel in Europe oue gets au enlarged view of the
world ; but Europeans wbo travel iu America an
profited quite as much as Americans are who trav
el in Europe. I found no female school iii Franc
where I would be willing to leave my daughter
The best place for your wife and daughter would
be Geneva. I think that other Sau Francisco ladies have* there found a Pension with whieh the;
are pleased.
Ttie characteristics of a French boarding school
are light studying and starvation. Tbere are sorm
able Protestant Min is! ers in France,, and some pious people, but tbe public sentimeut is overwhelm
iogly Romish and irreligious. Paris is uow quit*
as expensive aB San Francisco. Eiviug in Franc
has risen greatly during tbe last ten years.
Fine clothing is out of place in Europe. Ther
is no difficulty iu a lady coming here without a
gentleman or servants ; none is needed, she ca:
travel any where without au escort. Fine Freucl
goods cau be bought us cheaply in San Francisc
as in Paris at retail. Tbe knowledge of the world
to be gained by coming lo Europe, I consider lhe
best and greatest thing the trip would do.
I hope and pray that the war is near its end,
and that I shall soon be able to return, when 1]
hope to see you in San Francisco. My health was
■er better thau oow, and the geueral health of
my family is good. I am stiil preaching in this
city. Yours, etc., Wm. A.iCOTT. -.
A TEltltlBLK TRAGEDY.
On a pinewood shed, in an alley dark, where
scattered moonbeams flitted through a row of lettering chimneys, aud an awning, torn and droop-
fell, strode back and forth, with stiff aud tense
drawn muscles, and peculiar tread, a cat.
Norval. Ou yonder neighboring
shed biS father fought tbe cats tiiat came in squi
from streets beyond, in search of food aud strai
adventure.
Grim war he courted ; and bis twisted tail, and
spine upheaving iu fantastic curves, and cla
distended, and ears flatly pressed agaiust a head
thrown back defiantly, told of impending strife.
Witb eyes agleam, aud screeching blast of w
and steps as of tbe dew, Young Norval crept along
tbe splintered edge, and gazed a moment through
tbe darkness down, with tall awag triumphantly.
Then with an imprecation and a growl—perhaps
au oath, in direct vengeance hissed—he started
back, and crooked in body like a letter S, or rath-
inverted IT—stood in fierce expectancy,
well. With eyeballs glaring and ears
aslant, and open mouth, iu which two rows at fangs
stood forth in dread conformity, slow np a post
from out tbe dark below, a head appeared.*
A dreadful tocsiu of determined strife Young
Norval uttered ; then, with face uoblanched, and
moustache stranding straight before his nose, aud
tail flung wildly to the passing breeze, he stepped
back in-cautious iovitatiou to the loe.
Approaching the otber, and with preparaiions
dire, each cat surveyed the vantage of the. field.
Around they walked, with tails uplifted in the air,
while froth their mouths, in accents hissing with
consuming rage, dropped brief, but awful seuteu-
ces of malignant hate.
I Thrice round the roof they went in circle, eacb
with eyes upou the foe iuteutly beut ; then side-
wise moving, as is wont with cats, gave one long-
drawn, terrific, savage y-e-o-w, and in they went,
An hour they struggled in tempestuous might ;
then fainter grew the squall of war, tin
sounds were bushed. Then went I forth with lamp
n hand, and by its ghostly light surveyed the field.
What saw I?
Six claws, one ear ; of teeth, perhaps a handful,
and save fur, naught else, except a solitary tail
That tail was Nerval's—by a ring I knew it. Tin.
ear was—but we'll let the matter rest. The tail
will do without thWac. %fH

"t don't know,''said Erin, "but I'd
there when yon do it/'
■; Well," said the doctor, ''if I convince yon
that tbey are injurious to your health, will you
abstain from their use ? "
" Sure and I will, sir.''
" How often do you use coffee and tea? " asked
the doctor.
" Morning and night, sir."
" Well," said the doctor, " do you ever experience a slight dizziness of the brain on going to
bed ? "
"l"do; indeed I do."
iJAnd a sharp pain through tbe temples, in and
about tlie eyes, in the morniug ? ■__
■■ Troth, I do sir.''
" Well''' said the doctor, with an air of assurance and confidence in his manner, " that is tbe
tea and coffee."
"Is it, indeed 1 Faith, and 1 always thought it
was the whisky I drank ! "
