Selections from Foreign Papers. Wholesale Murder in Turkev.—A cor respondent of the Morning Post, writing from Adrianople on the 14th of October, reports a wholesale murder, accompanied by acts of the most atrocious cruelty, and followed by results which have thrown more than one family into mourning and grief, perpetrated in open day on one of the most frequented roads of Euro pean Turkey, near Ouzouudjova, a village half way between Adrianople and Philioppolis. The Kev. Win. Meriam, an American, for several yea» resident in this country, (says the letter) beloved and respected by all who knew him, while proceeding with his family consisting of liis wile, an infant child, and nurse, to his sta tion at Philioppolis, in the company of fifteen travelers, who had united together for the sake of safety, and under the escort of two govern ment guards, was attacked by a band of six Albanians, well mounted and armed, at about two miles distance from Ouzouudjova. Mr. Me riam and party, on seeing this band coming down upon them,were conscious that they were in danger. Their worst suspicions were at once confirmed on seeing the two government guards, who were about fifty paces in advance of the party, make way for the robbers by scampering away at full gallop. Although all of the party were more or less armed, Mr. Me riam himself having a six-barrelled Colt’s re volver, they were in a position which prevent ed the use of their arms. Ouly one of the par ty, a lad, was mounted; the rest were in tali cahs, a kind of rough cart of the country. The driver of Mr. Meriain's talicah tried to escape by beating his horses into a full gallop. Two of the assassins charged and shot the horses; this of course, stopped the talicaii. Mr. Meri am, while jumping out of the talicah, appa rently to defend himself and his family, was struck down by two pistol balls. One of the assassins dismounted, took possession of Mr. Meriain’s revolver and watch, and iicgan stum ping his face with his feet. Mrs. Meriam dis mounted from the talicaii and implored the villain to desist. He struck her once with the back of his sword, and then rejoined his com panions, who were engiged in their bioody work. They wounded a driver, a Mahometan, who had endeavored to escape, and into whose talicah they fired a volley, killing a rich baker —a Christian of Adrianople—and wounding a Hellenic merchant of Philioppolis. The driver subsequently died. Evidence was given by those present at this tragedy that the same as sailants who used so cruelly Mr. Meriam also drove one of the talicahs over the body of the wounded driver. The assassins next attacked the remainder of the party, ill-treated some of them, and robbed them of the articles of value on their persons. Mrs. Meriam behaved on this occasion most heroically, and with true Chris tian courage. She procured some water from a rivulet in the viciuity, washed the wounds on tile dead body of her husband, and cleansed n»» uj.'iiguicu hmjc, iiiuuuu unuer gruw. moral ami physical suffering, enlianced by her Ijeiug in tlie family way, she liad courage ami good ness ot heart to go and minister with her own hands to the bleeding wounds of the others of the party. The runaway guards, in the mean time. had entered the village of Ouzoundjova, and were found there quietly smoking their pipes. The officials of the village first receiv ed notice of the massacre that hail been perpe trated almost under their eyes from one of Mr. Meriam's party, who had shortly after follow ed the guards to the village. It appears that these authorities gave every attention in their power to Mrs. Meriam and the other victims of the assassins. They assisted Mrs. Meriam to carry the body of her husband to Philioppo iis. We may judge of the strength of her af fection by the fact that she travelled in the same talicah with the body during two whole days in the lieat of the summer. Six days af ter her arrival at Philioppolis she gave birth to twins by miscarriage, and seven days after she herself died, and was buried by the side of her husband. The Feathered Enigma.—A correspon dent of the Times writes:—A discovery lias recently been made which lias thrown the ge ological world into convulsions. In August last year, Von Meyer, of Frankfort, one of the most distinguished paleontologists of the age, announced the fact that a fossil feather had been found in the Solcnhofen slate of Bavaria. The feather, even to the fluest fibre, had been exquisitely preserved, and in structure could not, after the. most searching examination, be distinguished from the feathers of existing birds. Previously, no certain indications of the occurrence ot birds had been detected in strata anteriorto the oldest tertiaries. Shortly after the publication of Von Meyer’s discovery, it was ascertained that a collector at Pappen lieim, in Bavaria, had in liis possession a slab of the Solenhofen slate, which presented the remains of a strange creature,differing remar kably from ail known birds, and yet provided with feathers. Fortunately for science, a dis tinguished anatomist of Munich, Professor Op pel, had an opportunity of closely inspecting the Pappcnheiin slab, ami forthwith communi cated the results of ills examination to Von Meyer, as well as to his colleague at Munich, Andreas Wagner, Professor of Zoology, and keeperof the Natural History Museum of that city. Wagner immediately published a descrip tion of this extrarodinary fossil in the Proceed ings of the Academy of Sciences at Munich, although lie had never seen the fossil itself, and relied entirely on Oppel’s account of it. He concluded that the creature was a feathered reptile, and not a bird; and he accordingly named it Griphosaurus, from the two Greek words signifying enigma and lizard. In April of the present year, Von Meyer published a detailed memoir on this fossil {Paixtontogru phica, Voi. 10), founded likewise oil the com munication received from Oppel, and not on personal observation. The characters of bird and aeptile are so balanced i,i the fossil in ques tion that, with the caution w'ortliy of a true philosopher, lie abstained from referring it to either class, and proposed for it the appropri ate name of Archfeopieryx Lithographica. Translations of Wagner’s and Von Meyer’s papers have appeared inthe Annalsof Natur al History of the present year, and speedily attracted the notice of English paleontologists. An officer of the British Museum was des patched to Pappenheim, and succeeded in se curing this unique fossil for our National In stitution. It was made a sine qua non to pur chase the collection ol which this was a part, and the sum paid for the whole amounted to not less than £750. What remains of this crea ture is admirably preserved: but unfortunately, the head, neck, and breastbone, and vertebral column of the body, are absent. The fore and hind extremities, the pelvis, and several of the ribs and the long slender tail—which is per fect to the tip, are distinctly visible. The foot is formed precisely like that of a bird; the fore limbs are feathered at. their extremities, but the mode of insertion of the feathers differs from that of birds. The. tail, a bony structure, resembles that of a lizard, and consists of t wen ty slender, elongated vertebrae, to each side of which severally a feather is attached. The absence of the head and other important parts of the skeleton ismuch to Ire regretted, as without these it is impossible to pronounce with certainty on the affinities of the creature, and for the present wo must rest contented with the deduction of Von Meyer; and all that we can say is that it was a feathered animal in termediate between birds and reptiles, wholly dilferentfrom any creature previously known. It is annoudeed that Professor Owen will read a paper on this fossil at an early meet ing of the Royal Society. Dangers from Poverty.—A foul mur der has been committed near Preston. The victim Is an old woman, aged 80, but hale and active, living quite alone, and believed to be in comfortable circumstances. A robbery fol lowed, as a matter of course, for many things were taken from the house. A circumstance hardly less atrocious has recently taken place in London—the death of a gentleman who was recently garrotted by three men in White chapel, and who has now died at his residence at Sydenham of the injury which he then re i ceived. The metropolitan police-courts afford every day the most lamentable evidence of the insecurity of life and property. Things have come to such a pass that they can hardly be worse, and the ticket-of-leave system is held respuusiuie lur 11 an. i nere is a growing con viction in the public mind that we are sadly too lenient to our convicts, and too stringent to our paupers. As long as the jail affords better feeding than the poorhotise, punish ment can hardly lie said to lie inflicted. It is cruel oil the part of the Government to let loose on the honest and respectable portion of society the hordes of ruffians that are con stantly vomited forth from our prisons. Dis cussions have Ion" been going on respecting the English and Irish modes of prison disci pline, but all we can say is that if the latter is not better than the former, it is very bad in deed. Uecourse must evidently be bad again to the old system of transportation, and space must be found in some of our least inhabited and least thriving distant colonies, for the wretches who live at home wiidn they are at large, by violence and plunder. The criminal law, too, will have to undergo revision; for, however much it may shock philanthropists, practical results prove that the minimum of punishment produces the maximum of crime. A Loudon writer, commenting on the present state of things, says;—“We want safety for our houses, our purses, and our throats. We want to walk aliout our streets without the risk of being knocked down and strangled.— We consider that system of prison discipline tlie liest which leaves the fewest thieves abroad. Just now the number of these train ed depredators is far too great, ami we cry out against the system accordingly.” Unless tlie Government can provide a prompt and ef ficient remedy for this deplorable state of affairs, the honest portion of society must arm themselves, and combine for mutual protection against thieves and assassins, as they were not unfrequently compelled to do in the earlier jiortions of our history. Such a state of things is a lamentable commentary on tlie boasted civilization of the nineteenth century.—[Liv erpool Times. The Pooh or Enoi.anii.—Tlie rigor with which the poor-rate is exacteil in the impover ished districts of Lancashire is illustrated in a case which recently came before tlie magis trates at Kochdale. Twenty-live of the un employed operatives were summoned for the non-payment of poor-rates, and tlie magis trates. who said they could do nothing in the way of remission without the consent of the Guardians, isued warrants of distress against all who had not paid the rate. One man, who may lie taken as a sample of the entire batch, pleaded that lie had a family of six, that lie was earning two shillings and ten pence a week, that he had received from the Guardians eight pence a week, and a little meat and bread from a soup kitchen, which was all lie had. To ex act rates from men in this famishing condition, and, in tlie absence of payment, to sweep away their little articles of furniture, seems the per tection of cruelty. Nothing can show more clearly than this incident the hardness to which habitual suffering exposes those who administer the law, and it also proves the promptitude with which the ills of the weav ers ought to Is- relelved. But as we have glanced at the subject in a separate article, we w ill not encumber it with any additional rea soning beyond tins—that large numbers of the iuciory gins in me aisiresseu districts nave made applications to the Poor-law Guardians to be sent out of the country, to Australia, Canada, or elsewhere. By law, the Guardians have the power of assisting emigration out of I the poor-rates, but in tills instance they have declined to do so, from fear that some of their “best bauds” might lie induced to go. In these colonies female labor, for the rough kind of domestic work tfiat these factory girls could perform, is in good demand; the girls, probably, would get husbands in their own condition in life; but the inlllowners decline to part with them, much levs to assist them in bettering themselves. This fact is not very creditable to the masters. Scene at a Bull Fight.—The circus at Saragossa lias justbeen the scene of a sanguin ary drama. On Sunday the place was full, and two toreadors of secondary rank, but very i popular as natives of the city, named Joaquin Gil and Perez, made the customary salute, and offered to kill the bulls in honor of the presi j dent and the assembly. The tlrst animal was cleverly killed by Perez; the second was a I Portuguese animal, very vicious, cunning and j strong. He received the fatal blow from Gil, but at the same moment he tossed the unhap py man into the air, received him upon his horns, which entered deep into the body, and j threw him to the ground senseless, and then I fell dead by the side of his victim. The third hull was also a Portuguese. The toreadors were under a state of terror difficult to de scribe. Tlie picadors would scarcely touch him. Fierce in the middle of the arena, he seemed to defy the banderilleros, who at great risk fixed two or three firebrands to his neck, in order to excite him. From pain and noise the hull became furious: The task of killing him fell to Perez., who advanced with hesita tion, and seemed only able to stab feebly with i his sword. The president called to him, and pressed to have the bull's legs cut with the j demi-lune (an immense scythe fixed on a pole,) j but Perez, refused this proposition, which is I considered to involve disgrace to a toreador. He returned to the light. The bull threw it self upon him; iu vain lie east at it the mulet ta in red elotli; the bull paid no attention to it and followed him, but lie seized the barriers, and in leaping over it threw his sword at the bull's front. It struck the beast in the face,and by a strange fatality rebounded and penetrated the thigh of the poor toreador, cutting it to the bone. The Mood ran in torrents from an open artery. The unhappy man was carried away, and the demi-lune was then employed. Two hind legs of the beast were cut: hut even then upon its stumps it appeared so terrible that no j one dared to approach it. The demi-lune was again brought, and one of the front legs cut off. The beast fell to the ground, and a stroke from the dagger finished him. Will it lie be lieved that even after this the public were not satislied, and demanded the rest of the sport, and that the authorities were obliged to give them tickets for the next exhibition? Thetor eador Gil was buried on Tuesday, the other is in a dangerous state, and amputation is to be tried when he seems strong enough to bear it. The Makylkboxe Vestry and Mr. j Tisaix.—An amusing discussion took place on I the 1st, at tlie meeting of the Representative Council of Marylebone. In the board-room there hangs a picture of the Train Tramway j at the Marble Arch. Mr. Herring wished to know to whom it belonged. If it belonged j to “the mountebank" Train, then he thought I it ought to be thrown into the dusthole. lie I moved that it lie taken away. Mr. Kilmer, who seconded the motion, advised Mr. Train, if he ever visited England again, to soap his j nose, and put on an exceedingly thick pair of breeches. Other members counselled milder j proceedings in reference to the picture, and were twitted with having partaken of Mr. j Train’s feasts. Eventually the motion was disposed of by a resolution to pass to the or- der of the day. Tiik Coloxy of British Columbia. A I petition lias lieen sent from British Columbia, I praying for improvements in the government of that colony. The colonists complain of the “insulting despotism" of their Governor; of his continued absence from the colony; of tiie amount of their taxation; and of their inabili ty to modify a single decree of the Queen's representative, or to influence his policy in any matter. The petitioners declare that the ra tio of taxation in British Columbia averages ten pounds ten shillings per head to all the in habitants, excepting the aborigines. They demand (1.) A Governor who shall reside permanently in the colony, free from any pri vate interests in the colony of Vancouver's Is land, or connected directly or indirectly with the Hudson’s Bay Company. (2.) A system of responsible government similar to that pos sessed by the Eastern British North Ameri can and Australian colonies.” They further protest against “the incorporation of Van couver’s Island with this colony.” MISCELLANEOUS.

THE DAILY PRESS. PORTLAND, MAINE

Saturday Morning, Dec. 13, 18IW.

The Portland Daily Press has the largest regular circulation of any daily paper in the city. The Army in Motion. Only thirty-six hours ago, a leaden weight of apathy seemed to oppress the nation. We looked on helpless, knowing too well that some thing must be done in the field, and that soon, before spring, or the great Republic of our love and pride was lost, vanished like a dream, no more to take her place among the nations forever. As men in the shadow of some inev itable disaster are strangely moved to desper ate mirth, so we saw the precious time for ac tion wearing away month by month, and jest ed with the terrible delay, which we knew was exposing our government to ruin. Did anybody, speaking of the high prices, venture to ask, “What will advance next?” the an swer came with a sickly smile, The army, I hope.” Did any prophet of peace assert that This war will not go on for three months longer?” back came the ready answer, “Prob- I ably, not; it has not been going on for three months past.” All this is ended. Once more the roar of cannon comes from the South. Once more we feel that the nation will not die w ithout a sin gle effort for self-preservation. There is al* ways danger in action. There are cases on record of men who have broken a leg in springing out of bed. Will a man, therefore, hug his pillow per|>etunlly We must act, for inaction is death already, or not far off. Gen. Burnside may meet with disaster in his ad vance; but he may save his country, There was no alternative of hope in winter quarters, only a dismal looking for foreign intervention not very remote, and speedy dissolution. This war will be closed for the Union by hard fight- ing; for the Confederacy, by simply waiting. Thank God! the Administration stands by the 1 Union, and the strength of the people is be- i hind the Administration. Debate at Mechanics' Hall. The debate on the President’s Proclamation was again renewed, in the presence of a large audience assembled in the Library Room of the Association, on Thursday evening last; after a spirited discussion of more than two hours it was decided in favor of the artinna- j live. As it was probable in the beginning, that the debate would be concluded that evening, there seemed to Ire a disposition to pay ofT old debts coutracted at previous meetings, and to clear up records generally—thus it happened that several of the speakers shot whle of the ques tion that they might rap the political knuckles of their opponents. Mr. G. L. Bailey opened the discussion in the affirmative. Mere assertion by any person was neither argument or proof; those defend ing the negative had notsustained their ground so much by arguments and facts as by asser tions based on their own opinions. He did not believe in conditional patriotism. Let the j President be sustained and the Proclamation would work an injury to the South which would weaken the rebellion. He was followed by Mr. J. T. Emery, who having been accused of making a statement which be did not make, was determined that the game as well as the name should be his. He proved to his own satisfaction that man had a moral right to hold slaves, provided he sees no wrong in it, and civil law does not oppose him in it. He said we were now under a military despotism, that the N'orth was suf fering from unconstitutional rule, and that the Proclamation, if acquiesced in by the people, will destroy the American Union. He was followed by Mr. Stephen Patten, who severely condemned demagogueism and urged the importance of sustaining the government with unanimity. He thought Mr. Emery, in his quotations from the Bible and his argu ment on moral rights, had rather “stolen the livery of the Court of Heaven to serve the devil in.” The question is not merely whether the slaves will be benefltted, how they are to be clothed and educated, but one of war policy; the Proclamation will weaken slavery, and this, with the unanimous support of the gov ernment, will break down the rebellion. Mr. Samuel A. Nash objected to the Procla mation because it was uncalled for, and would tend to divide the North and unite the South. He believed the loss of the balance of power by the South was the cause of the rebellion. Mr. S. L. Carleton followed in the affirma tive, attacking the positions of Mr. Emery who made a vigorous reply. Mr. Chas. P. Kimball defended himself and the Democratic party with marked earnestness. He and his party had always sustained the government, but he could not now support the President, who he had hoped would administer the government in a constitutional way, but he had been disappointed. Mr. K. read a poem which had appeared in the New York Tribune in 1854, and drew from it some infer ences as to the political integrity of the Re publican party. To this, Mr. N. A. Foster replied, crediting the man who would make such statements with a large amount of brass and impudence, because he must know they were unjust. It had been said that the Proclamation held out no inducements to the South to return to loy alty—the proclamation made the proposition to them, that if they would lay down their arms and yield obedience to the government they should be protected in all their rights, slavery Included. That some ol the rebellious States so regarded it was proved by the move ments they were now making in regard to Congressional elections. Our soldiers in the field want the enemy weakened; all loyal men desire it. How shall it be done With live millions of white men they have been able to raise an army to oppose that which twenty three millions in the North have sent to the contest. Slaves have enabled them to do this; take these out of their service, make them our allies, and we shall see the rebellion effectually weakened. South Carolina, having about one hundred thousand more blacks than whites, will be overwhelmed with insurrection; her Governor will demand that her troops be sent home to protect the Slate; so will it be in other States, and this surely will weaken the grand army of the South, and tend to subdue the rebellion. When this is completely accom plished, our soldiers will come home only to take their families with them and return again to the South, there settling on the basis of free labor; they will root out the old aristocracy and thus harmony will be restored. Thus closed this- debate, which has been continued with great Merest and enthusiasm through several sessions of the Association. We think that the members may congratulate themselves on being pretty good fellows, and, as one of their number says of himself, “not afraid to talk.” It is to be hoped that another interesting question will be taken up, and that it, rather than political parties, will be discus sed—thus decided benefits may accrue to the speakers, the audience and the public. Our Iron-Clnd Navy. Two Ericsson batteries were launched last Saturday, the Catskill at New' York, and the Nantucket at Boston. The nine Monitors are now all afloat except the Lehigh, at Chester, Pa., and she is reported almost ready to launch. They are all so nearly alike that Mr. Ericsson himself w ould find it difficult to tell them apart. The annexed memorandum is a cor rect account of these vessels on Monday, Dec. 8th: Vestel.

Lehigh Heady to launch Chester, Pa. j Ou Saturday also was launched the Whit- I ney battery, Keokuk, the first iron-clad ever built in the city of New York. Alexander II. Khind, one of the regular officers of the old navy, will command her. He was born in N. York, appointed from Alabama, and is a citi zen of Minnesota; has been twenty years in the navy, and eleven of them at sea. The following description of his veusel is taken from the New York World: The dimensions and a detailed account of the work performed on the Keokuk have been printed, but they convey no idea to the gener al reader of her peculiarities. These are First—the armor of the hull and its arrange ments. Second—the mode of mailing the turret. Third—the speed of the ship. First, the bulwark of outside armor, with which the construction of Monitors has made Americans familiar, consists of iron plates laid over one another. Thus, when we say a bat tery has four and a half inches of iron armor on her sides, we mean that four inch plates and one half inch plate are laid over each other and fastened. Mr. Whitney has adopted a new and novel plan which is interesting, and apparently good, fiver a ground work of half-inch rolled plates there arc bars of iron four inches thick, alternately with strips of yellow pine of about equal thickness. Over all these, then, there are two or three 5-8 inch plates of iron; so that in reality the ejtclus irely iron mail on the outside is not quite two inches thick, while the whole armor, the i iron edge, wooden lining, and plates together make over six. Many deem this as good as six inches of plate iron. Sccoud, the turret is somewhat similarly made. The small batteries already in service, except the Galena, have in their turrets eleven i-incii iron plates,all laid over each oilier, and constituting an exclusively iron wall eleven inches in thickness. The Keokuk's turrets have the 4-inch iron bars, inside or outside the 5-d plates, and although the turret has 0 1-2 i inches of iron, as stated in our first account of the vessel, only two inches, or less of it, is laid on in plates, the rest lieing edge-turned bars, which, as in the hull, frequently alternate with strips of pine, so that the exclusive iron armor of tlie turret is only two inches, while the mass taken together is deemed by many as strong as if the plates were laid over each other. Third, the Keokuk was to lie a "ten-knot vessel,’’ when she was originally designed, but more iron having been put on her than was intended, it is conceded that she will lose a knot thereby, or only make nine. The first indispensable attribute of a ram is strength, and the second speed. Hence, the most im portant—the last named—peculiarity of this singular ship has been overlooked by all who have written about her. She will be fast, and her strength is apparent to all who look at her. A steam ram mnst be able to catch the ves sel she wishes to destroy, and to strike her with as much velocity as possible. It is to make the Keokuk this kind of a craft that Mr. Whitney has so assiduously labored. Were it possible to drive her twenty miles an hour she would be all the better ram for it, but she is not meant so much to lie the perfect thing herself as to illustrate in what manner perfection can be attained. Her engines arc 400 horse power, ami if they drive her nine miles an hour, as the authorities expect, it would be easy to build one four times her size, with proportionate speed. Straitened for an Objection. In a brief article of two dozen lines in yes terday’s Advertiser, the editor contrives to lug in the Press nearly half a dozen times, and in his eagerness to find cause of objection to its course he says: We are not going to charge treason upon the Press, if it does not see its way clear to support the administration's financial meas ures—of all the measures which it has propos ed by far the most important To show what justice there is in this “stray gleam” from the Hon. gentleman who now sits in the saddle of that paper, we copy the following from our notice of the Message—the only language we have employed in relation to it: On the President's financial views theorists may differ, and some will file exceptions, hut the candid, practical thinkers will generally come to the conclusion that the views he pre sents rest upon a substantial basis, that they are felicitously free from all visionary and im practicable financial cobwebs, and that they are worthy the serious attention of the best financial minds of the country. We think it will tax severely the ingenuity of the Advertiser man to torture this language into a lack of support of, or opposition to, the President's financial measures, and we arc not sure that our comparative reticence may not 'I IIK'UV.OV IV fflUJ kllUb UUIIUI 3 »tl J distinct intimation that, in the financial dis cussion of the Message, the President had Ktolen /its thunder, and adopted views which he, the editor aforesaid, had avoeatod more than twenty years! When “our amiable neigh bor,” to return his complimentary designation, is obliged to manufacture material out of which to create prejudice against the Press, we shall Ik* constrained to think he is straiten ed for objections, and finds it up-hill business making headway in his praiseworthy efforts to disparage his neighbors. IN hv is it that the editor of the Advertiser cannot write a single page of note paper, on so trite a topic xs that of'1 loyalty" without mak- I ing a labored defence of his own position, and construing every allusion to him in the Press into an accusation of disloyalty? The eiremn- stances is very suspicious. He must be in j that condition of gultiuess that will “speak j though tongues were out of me,” and in which j he fancies “every bush an officer.” Methodist Episcopal Church.-The Minutes of the Annual Conferences of the j Methodist Episcopal Church just issued from the press give the reports of 49 conferences in the United .States and Territories. There are connected with this religious body five thou sand seven hundred and ninety effective trav eling preachers—more than eight thousand lo cal preachers without pastoral charge, and 939,350 members. They have more than 13,000 Sunday Schools, where over 800,000 scholars receive religioui instruction from nearly 150,000 Teachers.— These Sunday Schools are furnished with about two and a half million volumes in their libra ries, in addition to which, the Sunday School Advocate has a circulation of not far from 200,000 copies semi-monthly. These Minutes also present a bird’s eye view of the benevolent contributions of this Church, from which it appears that to sustain the S. S. Union of the M. E. Church, they raised $10, 110; for the Tract Society $11,679; for the j American Bible Society $36,187; for superan nuated preachers and other Conference claim ants $50,362, and for the Missionary cause $239.3-10.

By Adam Gnroicski. Boston: Lee Shepard. At the first glance this is one of the most amusing of books. The Count de Gurow ski, who has seen revolutions in Poland in France, in Italy, and w herever else the life of one man could compass such spectacles, seen them from the inside of the vortex too, came to this country in sheer despair of Euro pean liberty, became, or rather continued to be. a republican of republicans, was attached to the staff of the New York Tribune for awhile,and at last caught up by Secretary Sew ard two years ago and set down in Washing ton to make such observations on men and things as might best suit his age and experience. In a word, this work is due to M. Gurowski’s clerkship in the Department of State. The Diary is published as a record of first impressions. “A life almost wholly spent,” he says, “iu the tempests and among the break ers of our times, has taught me that the first impressions are the purest and the best.” Hut these first impressions are usually obliterated as the Count grows older, month after month, by other fresh impressions, till his portraits be. come mere daubs. Old age and disappoint ment have soured a temper, which must have contained originally that element of tartness which goes to the making up of a thorough philanthropist. He loves his race, appreciates the American people—none better; but Amer ican men cannot fail to provoke his scorn. The Nestorian boasting is never wanting. He is full of old stories about the European Cen taurs of his past experience. There are no such men now, at least not on this continent. And so it happens that his book is a magazine from which ammunition may be drawn by all parties. The complex monster, which he names “Liucoln-Seward-McClellan,” will sufficiently indicate the catholic spleen he cherishes. This triple headed incubus has ruined the nation —according to Count Gurowski. “Kent’s Com mentary upon the qualifications of a Presi dent is the best criticism upon Lincoln.” “Mr. Seward would rather swallow a viper than ap plaud the abolition of slavery.” Of MeNapo leoii, as he styles the commander of the army of the Potomac, the Count says merely,“I was struckwith the sort, insignificant inexpressive ness of his eves and featuaes.” The unbridled egotism of the writer appears I in numerous ways, but chiefly perhaps in his besetting tendency to offer advice and coun sel, write letters and communications for the newspapers, on all occasions small or great. The faithfulness with which he chronicles the fate ol his messages (regularly disregarded) is more than ludicrous, “Wrote,” says he, “to Charles Sumner in Boston, to stir up some in ventive Yankee to construct a wheelbarrow in which Scott could take the field in person.’’ In the earlier months of the Diary, these mes sages are full of Cassandra prophecies, which grow suspiciously infrequent toward the close. Not that M. Gurowski is intentionally a proph et after the fact-but he may be, after all. This rcmarkuble work, it is reported, the writer sent to the State Department binder to be bound up into a volume; the binder, meeting with various familiar names, was induced to to read the sheets he should have bound, and after reading to hand them to Mr. F. W. Sew ard Mr. F. W. Seward called thereto the at tention of his father, the Secretary of Shite; and the Secretary of State completed the cir cuit by returning the book to M. Gurowski, who thus and thereupon lost his clerkship, and in anger published bis notes revised and amen ded. The style of the book is unique; torcible and expressive, but full of foreign idioms, not to mention the scraps of French, Dntch, Ital ian, and Latin, and selecting by a natural affin ity such words as boss, rpit-lWcert, tip-top, bosb, bunkum, &c. O Jemima! is one of the Count's frequent exclamations. But the exhi bition is not without its tragic point of view after all. This then, the reader muses, is the wisdom that such a wide and stormy experi ence brings: this is the end of such lofty aspi rations—this pitiful carping; and the patriotic (M. Gurowski has been naturalized) indigna tion is elicited by a vulgar tit of anger too! For sale by II. L. Davis, 53 Exchange st.. for $1.25. Correspondence of the Press. Letter from the Federal Capital. Washington. Dec. 8th, 18(32. Last week passed very quietly. Excepting the bitter but ineffectual attack upon the ad ministration in the House, the strong resolu tions of Mr. Stevens, and the obituary notices of Mr. Thompson in the Senate, but little of interest was done in Congress. While it is desirable, indeed indispensable that Congress ihould enter promptly upon the dispatch of business, some time may still be necessary for the informal interchange of views and onln Ions, and for determining upon some concert ed course of action. It is nlready apparent that the opposition, emboldened by the re sults of the recent election, will be factious and virulent, and that the republican party in Congress will need coolness, courage and har mony among its members, to enable it to sus tain the Executive in the prosecution of the war. This week opens with a better prospect for business. The bankrupt bill is receiving much attention and will probably be amoug the first measures considered the present ses sion. Its importance to the business interests of the country is such that it can hardly be postponed. The report of Secretary Chase communi cated to Congress near the close of the week, was anticipated with great interest and re ceived with much satisfaction. It gives evi dence that our tiuances, with the momentous interests depending upon them, are in good hands. The Secretary's plan, however it may bear upon individual and local interests, seems the only one at all feasible in the cast*. All active operations in this quarter seem to be suspended, and for some time past we have bad a general dearth of importaut army news. We have indeed advices of Union successes, but they are by no means of that decisive sort which our cause needs. May General Bank’s expedition send us the news we have so long waited to hear. Still it seems hardly possible to conquer the rebellion by such expeditions. It is at Richmond that it presents its head and front, and there it must be crushed. Oh for the lost opportunity—the six glorious weeks spent iu idle delay that followed Antletam. The protest of the republican delegation from Minnesota, against the pardon of the con demned savuges, was strong ami earnest It seems neither just nor politic in view of the facts therein stated, to allow all but a haudlull of these wretches to escape punishment. Senator Wilkinson, by whom the protest was drawn and presented, is prominent among the northwestern members as an earnest, able and fearless advocate of republican principles. Tall and commanding iu person, off-hand though not rough in manners, a good speaker and a ready debater, he seems likely to enjoy in fu ture as now the highest honors of his adopted State. The Vice President is not here yet, but is soon expected. In his absence Senator Foote of Vermont, tills the chair of the Senate, with dignity and rare ability.

Butler has a brother in Paris, who has written to the London Globe a letter, in which he defends the general against charges which the Timex made against him. Many families in Now Orleans have collected their silver and attempted to smuggle it to Eng land, contrary to the laws. As articles of val ue they were stopped by order of Gen.

Z. arrived from Europe the other day, among the first things he observed were the crowds of men on the streets wearing sholder-straps.and he asked his friend U. V. W. if the army was in the vicinity of Philidelphia. “Oh no,” said U., "the army's in Virginia.” “Well, then, what are those men?” said X. “Officers,” rejoined U., sentenuously. “Why, how's that?” retorted X., sharply, “when you say the army's in Virginia Oh I see it now,” con tinued X., waking up as if from a brown study; “they're Peace officers.”—[Philadel phia Iuquirer.

Jonas Webb, known in England as the I “Father of the Southdown” sheep, has lately deceased. A plain farmer at Babrahan, lie be gan about thirty years since to improve his flock of sheep, and the famous “southdown” has been the product of his breeding. Age compelled him to close up his business last June, and buyers from all parts of Europe Australia, and America, were present; his sales reached the sum of nearly eighty thou sand dollars. Some of his rams sold for 150 I and 200 guineas, llis plain farmhouse had be come the Mecca of the lovers of agrculture from all parts of the earth. 23t~ The magnificent dome of the Capitol, designed by Thos. W. Walter, and now iu course of construction under his direction, is rapidly progressing to completion. The prin cipal frame has been completed, the ribs put iu place, and the outer plating is being finish ed. The height of the iron work above the basement will lie two hundred and eighty-five feet. The dome will be crowned with Craw ford’s gigantic and imposing statue of Free dom, which is nineteen and a half feet high, and weighs fifteen thousand pounds. The en tire cost of the statue was $25,000. The cost of the dome and statue together, when com pleted, will be about $000,000. The editor ol the Hallowed Courier flings in our face a personage whom he is j pleased to style “the martyr scoundrel John Brown.” Now we will inform that editor—T. W. Newman—that we would rather, a thou- j sand times over, lie responsible for all of “Old I John Brown’s” sins, than be held accountable for the spirit of hate and malignity which he is every week venting through his columns against everybody and everything that don’t square with his slavery democracy. Nay more; rather, infinitely, would we be as “black as the ace of spades,” and possessed of an honest, humane heart, than, being white, have a soul so darkened with the spirit of the infernal that it would transform to an infernal every one who chanced to differ from us. What is Home? The following beautiful “heart poem’’ has 1 been set to music by Ossian E. Dodge, and is I sung with line effect by his popular assistant, Mr. Hayward. But few can listen to this touching song With dry eyes: Home’s not made of palace walls. Though with pictures hung and gilded, Home is where affection calls— Filled with shrines tin* heart hath budded; Home! to which tiie faithful dove. Sails beneath the heaven above us, Home is where there’s one to love— Home is where there’s one to love us. Home's not merely roof and room; Home needs something to endear it. Home is where the heart can bloom, Where there's some kind tip to cheer it! What is home with none to meet. None to welcome, none lo greet us? Home is sweet—and only sweet— Where there’s one we love, to greet us. :rr~'Tho Hartford Press believes that up to the 22d of September, and partially up to the removal of McClellan and Buell, Mr. Seward and Mr. Thurlow Weed were tiie subtle pow er behind tile throne, that labored to do by di plomacy what alone can be accoinpiishad by fighting.

Letter from tiie Banks Expedition. A special correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, on hoard the Albany, states that the Captain of the Albany had received scaled orders. He further says: “Tiie expedition will not land at any of the points now discussed. It will not go as far as some think, and yet farther than others sus pect. This, although it may seem like a riddle, is a fact. What does the Lewiston Journal mean by “a cloud-picture?” Let us know what en vious optical phenomenon is hinted at in these three provokingly mysterious lines:—“Did anybody notice the hanks of clouds in the Northwest Wednesday afternoon Whoever did, saw a cloud-picture of Mt.

Friday.—Trial for Arson—The trial of Joseph W. Lamb of Windham, charged with setting fire to the barn of Seward M. Baker of Windham, on the night of September 3d, was commenced. The evidence in the case thus far has been entirely of a circumstantial character. The case was conducted by Mr. Butler, County Attorney, for the State, and by Messrs. Howard and Strout for the defence. Mr. Baker, who owned the barn that was burnt, testified that at 10 o'clock that night lie went to the barn; beard a noise and went out, and thought lie saw something in the field, but discovered nothin"; went into the barn, saw that all was safe, closed the door next to the house, leaving the door next the road open, and went to bed before 11 o’clock. About 1 o’clock the fire broke out. He saw Lamb in the afternoon of the day before the fire pass this barn and go to another one, nut then in occupation of the witness, and thought he saw him return with a baggage wagon. About 4 o'clock on the morning of the lire, Lamb came there in a gig and remained ten or twelve minutes. Mr. Baker further said lie hud had some difficulty with Lamb since July, 1861, on ac count of his intimacy with the wife of a broth er of the witness, and refused to board him any longer. Lamb then went to board with the woman, up stairs. She died in Marcli last, and then there was some difficulty between himself and Lamb respecting the property. Lamb persisted in using the property, and witness tbrbade his so doing; witness avoided Lamb as much as possible, but it terminated in violence between them. Lamb iiad been appointed guardian of the child of brother of witness, and witness, in concert with Asa Lc grow, grandfather of the child, took measures to have him removed from the guardianship. Mrs. Olive C. Knight testified as to lire, and that she saw Lamb come there in the morning. Win. 11. Allen testified that he was at the fire. Richard Puringtou proposed that they should look for tracks. They lound the tracks of a gig from Baker’s store to the barn; the dew was heavy, and the tracks could be seen as plain as in light snow; their were no other tracks made alter the dew fell. There was another track of a four-wheeled carriage; could see the tracks of a horse. They tneas ured the width of the truck. Passed on to wards Stephen Huston’s house, and met Lamb coming in a gig towards Baker's; came upon him rather suddenly. The shoes of the horse whose track w’e discovered was unusually wide, and was square at the toes—the tracks left a spot which indicated that there had been a new cork. Lamb called and wauted to know where the Are was E. Baker replied, “You know very well.” They measured the wheels of Lamb's gig, and they corresponded with the track discovered. Elias Baker conArmed the testimony of Al len as to the discovery of the tracks, Ac., and made a remark when Lamb caine up, “We have got the very fellow.” Witness agreed with Allen about the print of the shoes. Lamb, when he came up, said he had started to go to Camp meeting, and had got to Gray corner when he saw the Are, and turned back. It was a little after 3 o’clock when we met him. Ebenezer Legrow testified that he heard carriage pass; the sound of the horse was as if going towards Gray; immediately alter saw the Are; saw the track of a two-wheeled carriage- He agreed with the other witnesses about the shoe of the horse. Was with them when they met Lamb. Allen asked him to back the horse wheu measuring the wheel; Lamb did so. Baker asked Lamb where he had been, and Lamb replied that he started to go to Camp meeting, and saw the Are and came back. Cushman Hilton, a lad, said he lived with Richard Furiugtou. Oil the night of the Are he was unwell; heard a horse and carriage go by, either running or trotting very fast; did not see it, and cannot say which way it went, but thought it was goiug up. Then went to bed, and in a short time got up agaiu and saw the Are; saw the track of a two-wheeled car riage. Witness discovered the track of the horse and the peculiarity about the shoe, which agreed with the statements of the other witnesses. Richard M. Whitney, blacksmith, lived in Gray; had shod Lamb’s colt. He testiAed about the shoes; thought he put on the for ward shoes; the off one was a wide webb shoe, with not much of any cork on it; he hammered down wbat there was, and put on a new one. He generally set the cork in a little; it would leave an impression in a track; did not recollect as to squaring of the toe. On the 3d of September, about 12 at night, started to go to Gorham; was on foot; when he got to Asa Legrow's house heard a car riage coming up the blackstrap road; it was the mare Isaiah Baker used to own, aud was in a gig; could not tell who the man was; lie had on a silk hat; was six to ten rods from the horse when it passed; there was no mistake about the horse. He had gone but a short distance from Varney’s house when he heard the cry of Are. Mrs. Mary Allen was at Andrew Allen’s house on the night of Sept. 3d, and saw Lamb in a two-wheeled carriage passing very fast; he was going towards Gray; when he came back he was walkiug. ami saw Lamb when lie came tbere in his gig; he had on a silk hat; heard the conversation as testified to by previous witnesses. Frederick Legrow was at a picnic that night, about four miles from Asa Legrow’s; on his return home saw the fire; left the carriage at the shed; there was no other carriage with him. Saw the tracks, and traced them about three fourths of a mile; was there when Lamb came. Richard Purington said he suggested look ing for tracks; while Baker was gone a wagon came up blackstrap road. It was Austin. Loring Baker—Saw Lamb on the morning after the lire at the Camp meeting at Poland, between 7 and 10 o’clock. He told of the fire, and said he thought it was set, and said they suspected him. Asa Legrow testified as to the shoe on Lamb's horse, which subsequent to the lire he saw, having obtained possession of the colt. He also stated that a difficulty had existed between him and his daughter (Mrs. Isaiah Baker) since the reports of her intimacy with Lamb. Lamb hail been appointed guardian of Mrs. Baker’s child, but lie (Legrow) got him removed from the guardianship, and was him self appointed. S. M. Baker consulted with him oil that subject. Up to the time of the reports prejudicial to the character of his daughter, he had always treated her with fatherly kindness. She left his house when she was about sixteen years of age, in conse quence of some difficulty with his wife, her stepmother. Court adjourned at 9 o’clock in the evening, having held an evening session. The testi mony on the part of the government is not all in. Judge Fox remarked that counsel must make their pleas oil Saturday evening, as he should be obliged to leave oil Monday to hold the term in Somerset county. Municipal Court—Dec. IX. Wm. J. Smith, for violation of the city or dinance relating to throwing snow-balls, was fined one dollar and c vsts. James W. Winslow, Daniel McCann, Mich ael Downey, and Thomas J. Dolan, for the same offense, of throwing snow-balls, were fined one dollar, and one quarter of the costs each. Back Again.—John Blair, Jr., who was discharged from his enlistment in the 7th Me. regiment Thursday, on the ground that he was not 18 years of age, and against whom a complaint was subsequently made for obtain ing the bounties upder false pretenses, yester day went tack to his regiment. He told his father that if he got clear he would run away again, and his father, on condition that the complaint against his son should be withdrawn, gave his consent to the enlistment of the boy. Judge of Municipal Coubt.—Aaron B. Holden, Esq., was yesterday nominated by Gov. Washburn as Judge of the Municipal Court of this city. Throwing Snowballs.—Five boys were yesterday morning brought up before the Mu nicipal Court and lined, for throwing snow balls at persons passing quietly along the streets. These cases were not when the boys were pelting each other in the street—though that is against the ordinance, but when they deliberately threw junks of ice and snow-balls at every person who happened to come along. The next batch brought up for that offense will not, probably get off quite so cheap. There was quite a fight at the foot of Brown street Wednesday evening, between two gangs of lads, about ten in each gang, residents in that neighborhood, which originated in snow balling each other, but which terminated in a regular fight, in which the most horrid oaths and imprecations were made use of. Some of the neighbors succeeded in separating the lads and sending them home. Had a police officer happened along during the fight, the boys would have found themselves in the lock-up the next morning. Boys had better be care ful about throwing snow-balls. Dodge's Concert.—Monday evening, at Lancaster Hall, Dodge, the inimitable humor ist, assisted by Hayward, the beautiful ballad ist, will give one of his peculiar concerts. Ilis success East has been unprecedented. At Farmington he gave two concerts in one eve ning, in the same hall. Both concerts were crowded. Promotion.—Lieut. Orville W. Merrill, of the Otli Maine Battery, has been promoted to Artillery Brigadier Quartermaster, ou the staff' of Major Keiffer, Chief of Artillery to Gen. Slocum’s Division. Lieut. M. is a son of Mr. James L. Merrill of this city. Man Overboard.—An Irishman, calling himself John Smith, was fished from the dock at Franklin wharf, last night about 11 o’clock. He appeared to be intoxicated, as he knew not why he came to take a bath at so late an hour. Steamship Hibernian will sail for Europe this afternoon, immediately after the arrival of the train from Canada. Mails close at the Prat:* ntK.... *h liquely dowh the river fronting the Massapo nax. Although several of their shells explod ed over our men, none were injured. General Bayard's cavalry had five men killed while endeavoring to ascertain the enemy’s position. The troops which ctossed below are sleeping on their arms to-night, the advance being within three-quarters of a mile of Massaponax Creek, their left resting on the Rappahannock. The enemy occupy the other side of the creek in force. The guns posted on the bank this side of river silenced the enemy’s artillery after a duel of half an hour. This ended the fight for the day. The only damage done by the rebel shells thrown into the city, was to add so much to its destruction. Twenty-five of our men were killed last night in the streets of the city while driving the rebels out. Nearly every house in the city has been damaged more or lc-s by the tiring of the past two days. Several splendid residences have been completely riddled, as also the churches. The fire appeared to be directed on the most prominent edifices. Several cases of wanton destruction of pro|>erty occurred by our troops when they entered, property which could be of no use to the enemy. In many houses the furniture all remained, showing that their occupants left in haste. Some of our troops mistook the British flag lor a secesh, and tore it from the residence of the British Consul. This morning the owner came over to recover it, and the same was returned to him. The main body of the army is now over the river, the balance being in position to cross at any time. There is no indication of the enemy evacuating. If they remain a battle must immediately ensue. FROM WASHINGTON. No More Interference by France, The McDowell and Porter Trials. Destruction of the Rebel Steamer Victoria. Capture of Steamers. Washington, Dec. 12. Official information just communicated, warrants the assertion that the French gov ernment has no idea of prosecuting any further their pro|H>sitions for armistice or mediation. No proposition of any kind, in any form, from any insurrectionary quarter, has been re ceived by President Lincoln or any of his Cabinet. No discrimination in regard to the press was made or known at the State Department, in regard to the foreign correspondence. A reme dy will doubtless be applied to prevent future complaints. Tlie Navy Department has received a letter from Lieut. Commander English, dated otf the coast of Florida, stating that the boats belong ing to his vessel, had captured in Marian river the English schooners Agnes and Ellen, and sent them to Key West for adjudication. Much has recently been said about the in vention of 1st Assistant Engineer Whitaker for tiriug guns under water. A dozen persons have brought similar plilns to the attention of the Navy Department. It is no new invention or secret, having been successfully applied by Fulton and others. No practical importance seems to he attached to this subject. In the McDowell case to-day nothing of im portance was elicited. In the case of Gen. Porter, Gen. McDowell was examined, testifying as to the order of the 29th, directing Porter to advance, which order was similar in effect to one he, as senior offi cer, had already given to Gen. Porter. Both cases adjourned till to-morrow. Advices received at the Navy Department state that Lieut. Buchanan had sent an expe dition from the gunboat Calhoun on the 20th ult., up Bell river, which returned on the 28th with a launch tnouiiliug a twelve pound Dalli gren howitzer,and two prisoners. The launch had sixty tents and a few worthless shot guns. Buchanan states that lie learned the rebel steamer Victoria was fired and blown up oil' Last Island about the 12th ult. It appears she broke her piston rod and sent a boat to Bra sliaw City for assistance, when, hearing that our forces were in possession, they went back, set her on Are and deserted her. She was loaded with arms, ammunition, clothing, and other neutral supplies. Steamer Kensington captured the steamer Maria from Belize and schooner Carus from Havana, while trying to run the blockade at Sabine Pass.

Mr. Wilson of Mass., introduced a resolu tion that the committee of Military Atlairs la instructed to inquire into the expediency of allowing enlisted men now in the service of the U. S., entitled to a bounty of 8100 before the passage of the act of July 5, 1802, the same advance bounty as is allowed enlisted men by that act; and also what legislation is necessary to secure a more prompt and speedy payment of troops in the Held and hospitals. Adjourned to Monday. house. Not in session. Mailing of Troops for Hie Banks’ Expedition. The Mexican Question. Inadequate Capacity ol Transports. New York, Dec. 12. Reliable private dispatches from Washing ton slate that no advices have been received from Gen. Burnside, or any person connected with his army, of later date than last night, when all was quiet in the vicinity of Freder icksburg. Additional forces of Gen. Banks’ expedition left to-day, including the 50th Massachusetts regiment aud two companies of Rhode Island cavalry. The Post says the movement in this country in favor of Mexico is rapidly assuming a defi nite shape. Several officers of uote have of fered their services.—Doubtlul. The Philadelphia Press announces that Gen. Sigel’s advance to Culpepper is indicative of a inarch to Gordansville, and the protection of Gen. Burnside's left flank. A portion of the 15th New Hampshire regi ment embarked on the steamer Cambria yes terday. Two companies of the 41st Massa chusetts also were placed on board, while the latter were disembarked again, owing to the crowded state of the vessel. A portion of the 50th Massachusetts was placed on board the steamboat Niagara, and it is understood one or two comnanies of this reeiment. were ilisem barked from this vessel, owing to inadequate quarters for the men. It is evident the capac ity of vessels is overstated to the General commanding, as nearly every transport has been found incapable of carrying properly the large number of men assigned to them. Every effort is made by Gen. Andrews to secure the proper transportation of the troops of his command. New York Market* New York, Dec. 12.

_POETRY. [Written for the Press.] The W hite Dove. One Sabbath eve, soon the death of my dear child, in New York, ft beautiful white dove pure as the snow, came and rested on the sill of my mother’s window. The whole household, who were inconsol able at the IjMf of this loved one, had often express- 1 ed the wish Vat they might have sometliiug to pet and c*U by her name. They adopted the little stran ger; it made no resistance, and will come at their bidding, aud rest upou their shouldres. Who can say but tbat it came to bring tidings from the dear depar ted? This tonchiug aud beautiful incident suggested the following Hues: MOTHER. Oh, tell me, sweet dove, of the pure snowy wing, What tidings, fond tidiugs, to me dost thou bring; Yes, tell me, thou bird, of my golden haired daughter, Who floats a bright seraph o’er the pure crystal water Of Heaven. Say, cannot her pure spirit roam To watch o’r aud cheer me in my earthly home? Ah! cans’t thou not guide me to that Messed shore, Where I can behold her, aud weep nevermore? Hast thou come from the land where the weary may rest? Hast thou teen her amid the redeemed and the blest In that distant home-land, whose* flowers never fade, Where love smiles forever without any shade? And say, does she bear iu that unexplored clime, The sweet face she bore on the confines of time? Ah mouths of long weariness have J been parted From my angel-daughter—the young, joyous heart ed Tho’ the dear one could give to me no parting kiss, May I not regain her iu that world of bliss. And claim the dear idol of my yearning soul, When Heaven is won, and reached is the goal? Ah! why was she taken in life’s early spring, Ere her pleasures aud bright hopes had first taken wing, While many a poor pilgrim, who longs to be gone, Is left in this bleak world to struggle still on? Caus’t thou tell me of one, to whom in my youth .1 promised devotion, love and truth? It it still the passion of his ardent heart Te pursue the serene and the silent art The bright scenes of beauty in Paradise, That never were seen by mortal eyes, Those heavenly views, with angel hand, Can the gifted trace, in the spirit-land DOVE.

MISCELLANY. P tjxch’s Chabge to the Jcby.—The sub joined “charge” was cut lrom an old file of the Lancaster Intelligencer, into which it was copied from the London Punch about fifteen years ago: “Gentlemen of the Jury: You are sworn in all cases to decided according to the evidence; at the same time, if you have any doubt you are bound to give the prisoner the benefit of it Suppose you have to pronounce the guilt or innocence of a gentleman accused of felony. You will certainly doubt whether any gentle man would commit such offence; accordingly, however strong may be the testimony against him, you will perhaps acquit him. 'The evi dence of your own senses is, at least, ascredit able as the witnesses: if. therefore, your eye sight convince you that the prisoner is a well dressed person, you have a right to presume his respectability; and it is for you to say whether a respectable person woiild be likely j to be guilty of the crimes Imputed to him. In like manner, when you see a shabby-loolring fellow in the dock, charged, for example, with sheep-stealing, the declaration rests with you —first, whether or not that individual ia a ragamuffin, ami, secondly, how far it is prob able that a man of that description would steal sheep, “Of course, as has been said before,you will always be guided by the evidence; but wheth er the evidence is trustworthy or not, is a mat ter for your private consideration. You may believe if you choose, or you may disbelieve It; and whether, gentlemen of tlie jury, you will believe or disbelieve, will depend upon the constitution of your minds. If your minds are so constituted that you desire to find him not guilty, why then very likely you will dis believe it. You arc to free your minds from all prejudice, if you can, and in that case your judgment will be unbiassed: but, if you cannot you will return a verdict accordingly. It is not, strictly speaking, for you to consider what will be the eflect of your verdict; but, if such a consideration should occur to you, and you cannot help attending to it, the verdict will lie influenced by it to a certain extent. You are Erobably aware that when you retire you will e locked up until you contrive to agree.— You may arrive at unanimity by fair discus sion, or by some of you starving out the oth er*, or by tossing up; hut your conclusion, by whichever of the processes arrived at, will be more or less in accordance witli your oaths.— Your verdict may be right, it is to be hoped it will. It may be wrong, it is to lie hoped it will not. At all events, gentlemen of the ju ry, you will come to some conclusion or other, unlesit should so happen that you should separate without coming to any.” Military Phiiaseologt.—The subjoined deflnitions are selected from a lecture deliv ered by that eminent military critic, “Josh Billings,” and reported for the New York At las: “On tu Richmond,” that is tu sa, if the kus- I sed rebels will allow it. “Parralel lines” are them kind of lines that never kum together. “Militara necessita”—10 oflsers, and a gal- on of whiska to every 3 privates. “Onluce the dogs of war,” but muzzle the darn critters; if you don’t somebody will get hurt. “War of extermiuashun”—this fraze belongs holey tu the komisary department. “Advanse Gard”—this is a gard they hav tu hav in our arma tu keep our fellers from pitch in into the enema fruritwards. “Rcre Gard’’—this is a gard tha hav, tu keep our fellers, when tha are surrounded, from pitchin intu the enema backwards. “Awl quiet on the Pottermuck”—this shows what perfect subjeckshun our fellers are un der. “Militara straterga” tryin to reduce a swamp by ketchin the bilyous fever out of it. “Pickets” these are chaps that are sent out tu boray turbacker of the enema, and tu see if the kussed rebels has got a pass.

They seem to pass even common observation, and yet every part of the body is depeudent upon them for life and health. Poor Kit-harri's Eye nnd Ear Water Is a new and rare discovery, which is most wonder ful in its operatlou*. (Hitting to blush the old systems of treatment, which have quite as often done harm as good. Below we give the certificate of Rev. P. S Hkn&on, Pastor of the Broad Street Baptist Church. of this remedy, they may learn more of its practical value by addressing a rote of inquiry to Mr. II. Philadelphia. Oct. 17,1862. From injuries received in my right eye, when a boy, a chronic inflammation had been produced, in consequence of which 1 suffered constant martyr dom. Every moment of luy waking life wes embit tered, and 1 was frequently unable to sleep at night. A variety of remedies had been resorted to with out success, and I entertained the purpose, as a last resort, of haviug the ball taken out of its socket, in the hope of thus finding relief. In the meantime, most providentially, I noticed one day in a shop window a bottle of POOR RICH ARD’S EYE WATER. I had never heard of it be fore, but determined to try it, and did, with the most delightful results. In a very few days the painful irritation was removed; 1 could bear the strongest light, and went forth to the enjoyment of a new life. I now keep a bottle of it always iu the house, aud if my eye seems at all disjHtsed to anuoy me, 1 give it a dose, aud that is an end of it. I would not be with out it for any amount of money. 1 take occasion to sav, further, that my wile used to suffer severely at times from protracted pain in and over her ore*, and she has found Pooh Richard** Eye Watbu a sov ereign specific In her case, giving her almost instant relief. Grateful to God for the benefit that I have personally received, I cannot but commend the prep aration to all who have been sufferers like myself. P. 8.
