.A. v Honor to Governor Wise:
*Gbvernor Woes, of Virginia, is reported to be
a, than of violent impulses. But if the tele
graphic despatch, giving' abstract el!:his
speech to the people of Richmond on Friday,
'last, is correct, he has displayed iiiiigacitiiihd
a 'liberality which should , entitle 'hint ti;. the!
thanks of all Union-loviniatiff Cenetithlion.
Obeying citizens. It Was natural that one of
his`; excitable temperament sho'uld respond to
the popular feeling which followed the Ilar
per's Ferry tragedy. Here was an opportu
nity to commend himself to a sort of political
deification at home; and we confess that when
we ,heard:' Othie arrival at 'the. tieette of blood
shed, ,we anticipated , that he would not be
among those,ready, to . curb or -to moderate
the intense 'incitement which then and there
reigned supreme. We repeat that it is scarcely
poesihie for Northern men to conceive the
sensitiveness of the Southern people on a
question like this. Surrounded by' a ser
vile - population, the slightest rumor is apt
to excite flu; moat fearful apprehensions, and
the counsel of political demagogues is never
wanting to increase this excitement. Gov.
Wan has; howeyer, looked over Virginia, and
abroad` into, other States. He has elevated
himself into the atmosphere of the Union, and,
by abstaining from all violence, has, we think,
done more by the unaffected moderation of
Ills speech, oh Friday, to calm excitement at
home, and to strengthen a , tiound sentiment
elsewhere, than. he could have done by any
other process. Nothing would be more un
tortimaie` for ihe South, at the present time,
than a demand for extreme measures ou as
count of the Harper's Ferry tragedy. Nothing,
would do so much to disturb and unsettle the
almost solid feeling now existing in the the
States, in sympathy with Virginia and the
Seuthern States, than the expression of a de
termination' to make that affair the basis of
new demands , upon Congress or the Federal
Government.' We are glad to put upon record
our hearty endorsement of the tone and, tem
.per of Gov.:Wren, conscious, as we are, that
while he thus proves, himself to be the beet
friend of his own people, he, at the same time,
shows that ho appreciates the value of an hon.
eat, and patriotic public opinion in other quar
ters of the Union. ,
A Single Word to the Attorney General.
Judge'Duna says that property acquired in
a State is to be regarded as sacred hi the
hands of its owner; that the citizen acquiring
it may go with it into a .Territory, and hold it
like any other property; that all property
rights are of the same character.
. In another part of Ida paper he says that the
States have the authority to determine whe
ther the black race shall be bond or free. He
denies this authority to the Territorieti, main
taining that , the latter possess no attribute of
sovereignty by which alone this power is to be
exercised. Now, if slave property is to be
hold liko any other property, is it in the power
of a State Legislature to declare negroes free,
as claimed by Judge Bz.acz 1 If this power is
conceded to the State Legislature, does'it not
carry with it absolute authority ce to confiscate
private property of any kind," to use his own
nguage ? If there is no difibrence betwoon
'lave property , and any other property,
mid it is claimed• that the States may cent's.
cats the former, we do not see'how the con
' lusion is to be avoided that the States may
onflacate any property.
Judge BLACK, It is true, limits his mimic to
.roperty acqiiired in a State of any kind; but
t is not seen bow property acquired in a State
a any more sacred than property acquired
flaewhere within the 'Federal jurisdiction.
But, conceding for the argument that
lave tenures have a peculiar force,
ow is Judge BLACK to get ever the tiff&
ulty of allowing it to be taken from the
citizen (who, according to the express theory
.f the Attorney General, had a right to take
t into a Territory) by the action of a Conan.
rational Conyention or the machinery of a
tato Government ?
. Judge BLACK'S subsequent denial that be
ntended to maintain the right of a State to
onflacate private property, is simply an ap.
cal flora his own decitlon. Tho logical l de.
'faction from his premises he repudiates, and,
in doing so, warns the country not to trust to
his paper. "
a ge Douglas and Dr. Gwin.
Senator, now the sole Senator from
California; Is, we believe, in Washington,
having left San Francisco in the steamer of the
19th of September. We hardly suppose that
the grave duty of announcing Senator Buonza
tcit's death will devolve upon Mr. Gwor ; but in
looking over our late California files, we find a
letter from Mr. Senator DOUGLAS, published in
the National of that city on the 16th of Sep
tember, which may require some notice at the
hands of Mr. Gwze. The following passage
will suffice "to show the temper of the letter
of the distinguished Senator from Illinois
Mr. Gwist said in the speech to which Mr.
Doutmee replied :
"To contend for the power—and a sovereign
power it is- 4 .0f a Territorial Legislature to exclude
by non•aotlon or hostile legislation, is pregnant
with tho mischiefs of never•ending agitation, of
3101 discord and bloody ware.

"It is an absurd, monstrous, and dangerous
theory, which demands denunciation from every
patriot in the land; and a profound aenee of my
iuty to you would not permit me to do less than
to offer this brief statement of my views upon a
luestion so vital to the welfare of ,our. common
ountry." •
Mr. DOUGLAS remarks in his letter to the San
Francisco Herald:
' Why did not the same " profound sense of duty "
to 'the people of California require Mr. (twin to de
cosmos this "absurd, monstrous, and dangerous
theory" When pronounced and enforced by Gen.
Cass, in support of the Compromise Measures of
1850, and thence repeated by that eminent states
man at each sesolon, of, Congress until 1857, when
Mr. Gwin votOd for his confirmation as Secretary
of State? Why did not Mr. (}win obey the same
sense of duty by denouncing James Buchanan as
the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, when
he'deolared In 1856, that " the people of a Territo
ry; like those of a State, should, decide for them
selves whether slavery shell or shall not exist with
in their limits?" Why did he not perform this im•
perative duty by voting against Mr. Cobb, who
made Northern votes for Mt. Buchanan by wive
eating thleCatune "absurd, monstrous, and clatkger•
ens theory of 'not tuition' and 'unfriendly legisla
tion," when he _Wag appointed Secretary of the
Treasury? And, in short, why did be not prove
his fidelity to a high sense o 8 duty, by protesting
against my selection as Chairman of the Senate's
Committee on Territories in the Democratic caucus
by, a unanimous vote, at every session that he has
been a Senator from 1850 to 1858, with a full
knowledge of my opinions?
Mr.Dovaias concludes hts letter as follows:
In faithful compliance with the pledgee, creed,
and platform of the Democratic party, / stand now,
is I did in'lBso, in 1854, and in 1858, by the great
cardinal principle that, under our political system,
every distinct political community, loyal to the Con
stitution and the Union, is entitled to all the rights,
privileges, and ,Immunities of solflovernment in
respeot to their internal polity and domestic testi.
tutions, subject only' to the Constitution of the
UnitedBtates.
An Example for Pittsburg.
We aro pleased to announce that the autho.
Mies of the city of Mnysville, Kentucky, have,
in 'obedience to the mandamus of the Court of
Appeals of that State, in the case of the muni
cipal subscription to the Maysville and Lex
ington Railroad Co., assessed a tax to pay
the interest on the bonds. This puts at rest
the fears that were entertained that there was
not power in our courts to enforce their de
crees, and further shows that it is only in cor
tainquarters that citizens can be found who
are not ready to comply promptly with the law.
The opinion that seems to prevail abroad, that
our courts are powerless, and that our citizens
are capable of violently resisting their decrees,
is erroneous. In all free governments bad
counsel will sometimes prevail Ind mischiev
ous men will be found to foment disorders and
ditiobedience to law. But this state of affairs
cannot continue long. The strong arm of the
Government—only another name for the people
themselves acting through the constituted an.
6i:with's—sill in the end triumph.

The sympathies of America have been so
iblly aroused for the causeof down-trgddon
Hungary, that when the tretitl of 'olll4rattea
was signed there was as much regret felt that
%Nom:tires ackemis wore Indellnitely post
iioned as that Venetia was suffered to remain
under the dominion of Austria. Since that
periCid but little has been heard of the famous
Hungarian Governor, except vague rumors
that ho had lost the confidence of some'of the
Republican leaders of Europe by his combina
tion with Louis NAPOLEON. He has recently,
however, spoken for himself, in a letter to a
gentleman of Glasgow, dated London, Septem
ber' 26, in which he says he was "disappointed "
and cc, deceived," when that cc thunderbolt from
a clear sky," the Villa Franca Arrangement,"
frustrated plans which, but for it, would have
certainly resulted, in his opinion, in the libera
tion of Hungary. Tzfe'still cherishes hopes for
the .ffiture, „and "We believe in our,
future freedom, therefore we shall be free.
The corresponding resolution has, with the
whole nation, become a religious creed." Ho
also adds:
"I have the satisfaction to know that by,not al
lowing Mysolf to be influenced by propuses, that
by insisting on the guaranty of irretrootible facts
preliminary to my giving the signal for rising, I
have preserved my eountry from great misfortunes,
for alma which were 'pot our own, and have pre
served ita future uncompromieed—intaot. This, at
least, is a bright spook on the dreary horizon of my
deep grief.
•" I was particularly careful to warn my fellow
countrymen in exile not to be led • away by lump.
tienoe, to throw up their positions which they may
have gained by industry, before events take a turn
which will warrant my calling on them. even
warned, in public papers, my countrymen i Ame
rica to wait, and not to etir. - Thanks to is pre
caution, no harni ban doomed to any one on my ac
count.. But the prisoners of war from 'Hie Hun
garian regiments flocked spontaneously to our
banner.
" We had already live battalions (upward of 4,000
men) organised—alas! in three weeks more we
should have had 20,000 of them. When the war
was brought to an untimely end I considered it a
duty to guaranty the oondition of the gallant band.
I wished them to return home, rather than be scat
tered in misery over the face of the earth, provided
I could secure to them a safe return.
" I therefore insisted on a double stipulation for
them—that of amnesty and that of exemption
(cow.: definitif) from further Austrian military
service. T imoceeded in both regards. France in
sisted peremptorily, and Austria felt obliged to
yield—both points are guarantied, as far as stipu
lations are guarantees • it remains to be seen how
Austria (false Austria) will execute them."
Money Value of the Late War.
A statement has appeared in one of the
Parisian journals, of the cost of the late war
in Italy,, which is said to be correct. We learn
from it the following particulars :
France contracted a loan of $100,000,000.
The whole of this was not disbursed, but
at least $80,000,000 was expended on the
war.
Austria has spent about $100,000,000, taking
into account only the two loans taken from
the Bank, add the forced loan imposed on
Venice,
Piedmont contracted a loan of $10,000,000,
and borrowed 7,000,000 francs from the Bank
of Turin. It Is said also that France rendered
her largo material assistance, in money as
well as in the munitions of war. On the whole,
her expenditure was about $20,000,000.
The other States of Italy borrowed about
$4,000,000.
The British Parliament allowed $50,000,000
for warlike preparations, which would not have
boon made but for the threatening aspect of
affairs. Part of this sum was expended during
the war, the balance has since been disbursed.
The German States obtained $40,000,000 in
loans, on account of the war. Russia was put
to an expense of about $6,000,000. The
amounts, exhibited at one glance, run thus:
Pram $80.000,000
Austria 100,000,000
Piedmont 20,000,000
States of Italy - 4,000,000
England 50,000,000
German States 40,000.000
Russia 0,000,000
Total
Thus it will be seen that tho game of war
requires very large stakes---every cent of which
is lost ore the play is over.

Letter from 44 Oecamonal.”
[Correspondence of The Press.]
WABIIIROTON, OoL 23, 1859
In one of Mr. Dickens' latest productions ho is
very severe upon what he calls Society, ridiculing,
with inimitable skill and merciless satiro, the de
ceptions of many of those who move in the aro
matte atmosphere of fashionable life, and the
craving ambition of others to be permitted to enter
the charmed circle. Probably no public man that
bee ever lived paid more court to Society than
James Buchanan. Essentially aristocratic in his
tastes, he has looked upon the system erected by
wealth and fashion, for the purpose of excluding
humble and gifted men and women from their pre
emie, with as much adoration as the Turk regards
Moon, or as the idolater worships the sun. No
man has been more exacting and cynical against
admitting what ho might call counterfeit coin into
the circulation of this metal Eden. Every one
having the stamp of Society has boonoreloomed to
his hearth and his home. In New York, Phila-
delphia, and Washington he has himself sought
entrance into patrician saloons; and in London,
Paris, and St. Petersburg ho gathered many new
reasons for the respect and veneration which he
always indulged for this exclusive institution.
But, however Society may boast of its conquests
elsewhere, there is not on the face of the earth a
city in which it Is more delightful than at this
same Federal oapitai. In some other cities men
and women of wealth make up the coterie: that
regulate the conventionalities of community, and
often the learned and the brave find themselves
shut out from all connection with the limited sphere
in which these influences move and have their
being. Society bare Is verydifferentlyoonstitutest.
It is pervaded by a more liberal and elevated tone.
Condnot and obaracter come first, and these being
unquestioned, money is mostly the last considera
tion. The poorest nirin, if ho has intellect and an
unstained reputation, is taken by the hand and
placed side by side with those who are in the as
cendant in our social system.
It was to be hoped, when Mr. Buchanan was
elected to the Presidency, that he would bring to
Washington society a puro and exemplary stand
ard; that he would set an example which would
chasten the relations existing between citizens and
strangers, and that from the White Thins° would
proceed such a moral lesson as would penetrate
every family and &m et everyligiirr Bey what
we may, there is a vast deaPinilits Ming of Eti
quette and 7 3ociety. Even those who sneer at it
are compelled to pay respect to it. 'A Virtuous lady
and an upright and conscientious gentleman can
put themselves into each a position as to make all
good men and good women desirous of forming their
acquaintance; and the combination thus created
may prove to he an inestimable blessing. Before
snob a spectacle the libertine, the rora, the scan
dal-monger, and the suspected of both olassos—the
Mrs. Potiphars, the Beaky Sharps, and the Madam
Pompadours---will be compelled to retire, in their
turn to establish a Dams Monde in which they
may offer imame to eaoh other, and abuse the ex
cellencies they cannot imitate. Say, too, what we
May, of the Southern people, there is no class more
sensitive in regard to society than our fair coun
trywomen in that quarter of the Union. It would
be invidious, if not improper, to mention the names
of many of the ladies who come hither during the
winter from the Southern States, who adorn and
almost etherealize the circles in which they move,
and who, by their domestic qualities; their Intel
lectual and personal graces, and their sweet and
touching manners, are models by which others may
shape and improve their conduot.
The first tribute that the' President of the Uni
ted States paid to this sentiment was his love ad
venture with the James Gordon Bennetts of New
York. Mere now was an opportunity to make a
mark, not in favor of a false social system, but in
honor of those relations which are observed wher
ever Christianity and civilisation, reputation and
virtue, are respected. These odious and suspected
influences bad sought, in vain, admission into for
mer Administrations. They had been ejected and
rejected by Mr. Polk, Mr. Fillmore, and General
Pierce. Even in Paris they had ineffectually
sighed for recognition in the higher walks of Society,
and had entitled. themselves, too,
to the haugh
tiest reception at the hands of Mr. Buchanan.

long years of defamation of the beet men of the -
Republic, and carried away by an exaggerated be-
Hof in the power which (heir journal_ conferred, it
never entered into their ealoulations that the once
" favorite eon of Pennsylvania" would achieve the
Presideney. And, therefore, they made him the
subject of their own charaoteristio ridicule, calum
ny, detraction, and falsehood. Even when
he became a candidate for this high aloe,
they did, not relax tie their contempt and
their hatred. EVery atop that he took to
wards the Whitelbuse had to be taken through
their slanders, and while their missiles of vitu
peration hurled, like so many fatal bullets, around
his head. They had, indeed, rendered it not only
an easy thing for him to *ample them under foot,
after hie @lotion, as others had done, but, as it .
was supposed, an impossible thing for him to do
otherwise. In the North their antagonism of him,
added to their other disabilities, had made' them
objects of horreir, even to tholes they bad praised ;
while to the Booth—as if to show that even the
meet depraved can still Anther degrade them
selves—they had fallen into utter shame by their
wanton attacks upon the leading public men of that
region, and upon that peculiar institution
which is so indissolubly connected with their
whole Fooled system. And yet, among the
first- nets of Mr. Buchanan was his intro
duction of these Bennetta into his own faintly
and Into the society of Washington. Kings some
times enact strange freaks. Possessed of regal
Potter, as ail history has shown, they occasionally
endeavor to do that which in others would be fol
lowed by a storm of resistance. I need not multi
ply instances in which they have succeeded. But
our Majesty has failed in hie experiment. however
bold and exacting and persevering he has been in
his effort to net the fashion in the matter referred
to, he has failed, to the infinite damage of himself,
mid by no means to the satisfaction of those people
he has patronised. The lesson Is a good one. It
will teach those who may follow him, that not all
the patronage of the President, not all his hordes
of sycophants and dependants, can sanetify that
against which the morel sense of the country is a
living protest, nor make the " furred gown " and
apangled robe that covers, but does not hide, a bad
heart and a tainted character, the passport to de
cent society.
Reading over an old newspaper the other day, I
pinked up an " allegory" that might not be unno•
ceptablo to your thousands of readers. As the
Hon. William B. Rood gaud, when he attacked you
at the Administration meeting in Philadelphia "I
leave you to make the application:"
" A wise and venerable brahtnin of the, tad, whose
austere virtue and expansive berlevtdenoe had won for
him gifts of mighty potver from Vishnu, while medita
ting in his solitary walk:, beheld a email dog fleeing in
terror from a ferocious mastiff. The pursuer fast gain
ed upon hits panting prey, and had already crushed him
to the earth beneath his heavy paw, pro paratory to de
vouring him. The good brahmin prompth interposed for
the preservation of the dpprosaed, and by the anemia° of
the mighty pOitrar which his deity had given him, at once
changed the little dog into a powerful tiger. The tiger
prostrated the mastill'on atingle blow, and revelled in
his life-blood. The brahmin turned and fled in terror
from the spot. When being eueationed why he feared
the tiger and fled from him, when the latter had so much
cause for gratithde to hint, is the preserver of his life,
he answered :
"' I am the only living person that knew him as a dog.'
" And such is life. Gratitude for favors received is
too often smothered in hatred for the giver, le misera
ble, false shame concerning former circumstances over
which he could have no control, man often loses sight of
the real shame Which he should feel for a want of graft
tude towards his benefactor. In fact, the very sense of
obligation to gratitude seems to engender hate in some
men's minds. and a vengeful thirst to injure those who
have benefited them. There are many tigers of today in
the world who were the dogs of yesterday ; and having
now slain the mastiffs which sought their tires, thbir eyes
glare wildly in search Of the benefactors who have
known them as doss, that they may slay them too, and
thus obliterate all knowledge of their former lives. The
moral is, 0 reader of ours, when you make a great man
of a small one, ninon no favor from him. look for no
gratitude, but shun him as you would the plague."
It is now stated that Governor Weller, of Cali
fornia, will appoint Thonfas J. Henley, late su
perintendent of Indian affairs for the Pacific
States, to fill the vacancy created by the murder
of Broderick. Hr. Henley is a very able man,
an accomplished debater, and will make an active
and 'useful &baton OCCASIONAL.
The dramatic town-talk is upon the rival vert
((kn. of "The Cricket on the hearth," at the two
leading theatres. At the Arch, a new adaptation,
by Mr. lioucicault, a wonderfully good judge end
master of stage-effort, elicited general applause.
At the Walnut, Dickens' own dramatic version was
brought out, on Friday evening, by Miss beret: ,
port, for her benefit, to follow and relieve the
heaviness of " The Stranger," a play which has
fewer real attractions, in plat and moral, than any
other of the indifferent school to which it belongs.
Miss Davenport was the Dot, and surprised her
auditors by assuming such a part, apparently out
of her line. She played it well, however, though
too dignified for an humble carrier's young wife. •
The last scene was her beet : in this she was touch
ing and effective. As a whole, Mies D,'e Dot to Mir
so good as Mrs. John WIWI'. P.rry, as Parybin.
gle, was about equal to Dolman's at thi other
how:a—the comparison, if etriotly carried out,
would rather award the superiority to Mr. Dolman,
whose playing was more thoroughly artistic:al.
Mrs. Cowell'e Bertha bears the palm from Miss
Taylor's, at the Arch•etreet Theatre'—ago made
the blind girl less helpless, and more assured in
her notion. She walked about like one who knew
her own residence, at least, and with little groping,
like a person in the dark. There was nothing at
Walnut-street better than Mr. Wallis'a Taalleton.
We prefer Mr. Gilbert's Caleb .Plummer to Mr.
Thayer's. As for Tilly Slowboy, in the Walnut
street version, Mrs. Thayer (whose original cha
racter it was) played it so as to make it the great
feature of the play—we might say three-fourths of
the play. To be appreciated It must be seen. It
is worthy of note, on the other hand, that when
Dickens himself originally oast the characters of
" The Cricket on the hearth," at the Adolph!, in
1845, Tilly Slowboy was played by Mr. Wright,
the comic actor, and, in the version played at the
HaymarketTheatre, a fortnight later, the part was
played also by a gentleman, Mr. Duckstone. In
deed, so far as we recollect. the part was invaria
bly played in London by the low comedian, end
there were half-a-dozen different theatres playing
"The Cricket" all at once. The force of preoe
dent, therefore, is in favor of Mr. Clarke's playing
the character, which ho does most amusingly. The
Arch-street adaptation admits of the introduction
of the beautiful scenery and music, which we have
previously commended. Indeed, the music which
Mr. C. Dodworth has arranged, especially for the
fairy introduction, is very beautiful. At Arch
street Theatre, considerable time was bestowed, as
It obvious, in getting 'up "Dot.' At Walnut
street Theatre, it was merely produced as a benefit
after-piece, though it will be repeated to-night
and to-morrow evening; Mies Davenport remain
ing in town for the purpose of playing in it.
The enema of "Dot," at Arch-street Theatre,
has been so great that it will be played every
night this week—aye, and for several weeks, we
expect. The scenery, with 113 sudden changes, is
very beautiful, and the whole page: mance very
good. The fairy introduction capital, and, by the
way, we must draw attention to the excellent
manner, with clear voice and graceful notion, of
Mre. George Steddart's impersonation of Home.

MRS. BATSMAN'S braw TR/OEDY.—WO are far
from holding that an original American play must
be criticism-proof because it Is the production of
" native talent." If it be gpod, its being written
by an American must be gratifying to the public.
Genius, however, is not confined to any particu
lar soil or climate, and must bo judged by
itself, and not by its birth-place. New plays
are not always good plays; but when a new
production has been suaoessfully performed for
eight successive weeks in Now York and Bos
ton, winning unanimous eulogy from the-journals
of both cities, there must be something more than
mere novelty thus to delight large audiences and
thoughtful critics. Mrs. Bateman (we believe the
mother of the interesting young girls who charmed
and interested the public a few years ago) is au
thor, among other plays, of the trill° drama called
"Geraldine," or the Hunchback Bride, to which
wo here refer. What peculiar charm this play ex
ercises upon the public sympathy, and whatlits at
tractions are to the critics, we shall learn on Wed
nesday evening, when, for the first time In this
city, it will be acted at WainutstreetTheatre, with
that thoroughly accomplished actress, Mrs. Waller
—now the boat tragodt eons In this country—in the
r6le of the heroine. The play will bo produced
under Mr. Bateman's own supervision and direc
tion, for it is his wife's production. The oast is
very strong, including, besides Mrs. Waller, nearly
the whole strength of the Walnut-street company
—viz : Mr. Perry, Mr. Bheweli, Mr. Reach, Mr.
Vining Bowers, Mr. Thayer, Mr. Young, Mrs.
Thayer, and Miss Miller. This is a sufficient guar
antee that it will bo played well. Now scenery
and decorative appointments have been prepared
expressly to present a correct view of the feudal
times in which the play is laid. If " Geraldine "
be as successful hero as it has been elsewhere, a
series of fashionable and crowded houses will am
ply repay the management for its liberal outlay.
The Ravels continuo at the Academy of Music.
This evening the pantomime of "Masulm" will be
performed, and Mlle. Maria Henneoart, Francois
Ravel, and Paul Brillant 'will dance in the ballot
of " Le Diablo a Quatre."
At McDonough's Gaieties, where she played and
sang, on Wednesday evening, for T. D. Rice's be
nefit, Mrs. Frank Drew made such a decided hit
that she was immediately put on a star engage
ment. Hernandez brings out a now pantomime
this evening, called " Vol au Vont," and, besides
a more of other amusing things, Messrs. Thomas
and J. H. Budworth will appear as "Damon and
Pythias."
At Sanford's, they will give a new extravaganza,
called "Am she Come? Yah!" and we know not
how many more amusing entertainments in the way
of ringing, dancing, Ethiopian palaver, do.

Saturday. This new drawing-room entertainment

as well as the ventriloquism and canaries of old.

Harper's Magazine for November
We have received this number, which closes the
19th volume, from Peterson A Brothers. It is a
surprising periodical, whether its merit or circula
tion be considered. Its publishers state that in
less than ten years it has paid Moro than a quarter
of a Million of Dollars th American ahthors and
artists. The number before us contains, as its il
lustrated articles, the conclusion of "The Virgini
ans ;" The Rico Lands of the South, by T. Addison
Richards ; the Volcanoes of Central America, by
E. G. &pion; and Tea Culture in the United
States, by Charles Nordhoff—following these are
various tales and poems, of which the best are Ro
bert Fenton's Victory, That Disagreeable Biggs
(an eccentric and amusing sketch,) Match-Making,
by Alice B. Raven, and a thrilling ballad, by T. D.
English, called The Fall of Maubila. Indeed,
there is but ono Indifferent article in the whole num
ber—a tale of the prose-run-inad order of literary
architecture,,which is sad rigmarole, and hears the
title of "Te Phial of boath." One feeble article
in a magazine is as inevitable, we suppose, as one
bad boy among a &men of a family.

As the winter approaches the newspapers In the State
and city of New York recommence the annual &mug.
Ilion of the propriety of imposing State tells on railway
freight. Originally when the business of the greet rail
roads was principally confined to parson:erg. the tolls
on freight did no great mischief. and were not severely
felt. But when the tons were removed. and they came into
active competition with tho canals, they soon received
the preference of the Dublin for the transportation of
heavy freight. It really seems that the canal cannot
suceersfully compete with thorn without some such pro
tection as that proposed by the advocates of the canal
tax. Sot the sense of the community is opposed
to the reimpositton of the toile, as a h.ndrance to
business.
On the other hand, however, many of the opponent.
of the tolls are so not out of any affection for the rail
rattle. They consider that these corporations deserve no
favor at the hands of either the State or the people.
They say that the railroads have, for sears, discrimi
nated &cultist the business of the community to whom,
representatives they owe the granting and the continu
ante of their charters.
This American Reiticay Revitur MIMS up the charges
tinting the railroads ns follows:
