MECHANICS. When n mechanic, by his industry or skill, or bv a Tortunato combination of circum stances, which confer noTionoron himself, emerges from obscurity and poverty, und roll? amid all the luxuries of uncounted wealth, ho.often seeks to forget his origin, in deference',to. the blind prejudices of society,and the dictates of u perverted and flattered,heart, worse than co>vardly, denies himself to liis groat family kindred, and turns up his pampered nose at the mero mention of the mechanic, tl)o facts speak stronger than words. Wliy should mechanics', who combine and exhibit in their diversified range,the highest and most plastic energies of genius, on whose labor ious and never tiring wealth and luxury depend, and to whose power pride is subservient, to its swelling “pomp and | circumstance,” be treated ns inferior be longs among'the mass of humanity ? Merit 'should be the passport to society and con isideration.; nnd the state ofsocioty -svill be i artificial and disordered until merit shall [be thus respected. We will, admit that the inferior estamntion in which mechan ics ado regarded is to some extent attribut able to their own fault. They do not suf ficiently respect themselves. They do not assert and properly defend their rights. t,ct them, as a class, bestow more atten tion on themselves —cultivate greater dig nitv and polish of rnunners, and attend generally to those minor accomplishments which constitute, inUte'cyeof a correct und not sickly taste, thetruo gentleman. They will thus commend themselvos as tho re presentatives oTthat skill and genius which they exhibit in their various departments, and bo respected as such delegates, unen cumbered by fictitious impediments.

We find in the New York journals the! following extract from a letter. The sto ry has been discredited ; but the Washing ton Upion saysit understands from anoth er source, that some time ago o fa tal affray did lake place in the presence of of the Emperor—that the matter was hush ed up, and the victim secretly buried.— These circumstances may tend to explain the fact that no account of the transaction seems to be found in the luter journals brought by the Arctic. The extract is as follows: I ought to tell you that the General Marshal of France, St. Arnpud, Minister of War, was arrested last evening by or der of the Emperor, for the following rea sons; ' , , General Cornomeuse, aid de camp .oTj the Emperor, found himself in the cabinet] , of His Majesty with General St. Arnaud. A sum of four hundred thousand francs was there, and the Emperor entering his cabinet, asked this money, which he des tined for the marriage portion of the daughter of Gen. St. Arnaud. General Cqrnemeuso searched every where, but was unablo to find more than two hundred thousnnd francs, whereupon he said to Gen St. Arnaud: ‘‘You and I only have been here, and it is only yourself who could have taken i*” Finding that ho could not deny the charge St. Arnaud instantly drew his sword and killed Gen. Cornemeuse; the luttor having merely time to make a de gagemcnl,piercing the arm of St. Arnaud. This scene passed under the eyes of the Emperor, and so suddenly that he had no time to prevent the two blows. The mat ter is hushed up; but you may rely upon the facts, as I have them from a source I beyond all doubt. St. Arnaud, you are I aware, is tho-»General who played so prominent a part in the coup d'etat of De cember. Without pronouncing upon the ! guilt or innocence of the parties, I cannot j avoid observing that, considering the des tination of the money, it is extraordinary iSt. Arnaud should have taken it, while it is equally strange that such a grave charge should have been made without probable pause. • Virginia Elections.

The.murderers pursued Pray, spying they would give him the same as they had Maxwell, and stabbed him also within tin inch or two ofthe heart. His wounds are, considered very dangerous, and his recoy, : ery extremely doubtful. After the murd,, er of Maxwell became known,a party of the, citizens of Salmon Foils went to the house, ofWntersforthe purpose ofarresting them,, The doors were , fastened, but they were soon forced. A search was mhde, and the two Waters were found secieted in the garret.

The Gardnee Case. —After a trial which dragged through several months, the jury in the Gardner wise, being unable i to ngree, have been finally discharged. As j all of our readers may not remember the points at issue in this case, wo will briefly recapitulate them. Pr. George A Gardner, the individual on trial, procured, some time ogo, from the Board of Mexican Claims, an award of four hundred and tvyenty-eight thousand dollars; but circumstances sub sequently led lb the suspicion that ihe memorial another papers were false on which this award was obtained. To test this qnestion, and to punish the Doctor, if guilty, at one act, he was charged with having falsely sworn to those papers, and indicated for perjury. We understand that the government is still so completely convinced of the guilt of Dr. Gardner, that it has determined to try him again, but this time on a chftrge of forgery. His brother, J. Charles Gardner, is likewise to be arraigned, his alleged offence. being that of conspiring, with his brother, to per petrate the fraud. Under all the circum stances, it does not become us to express an opinion on the guilt or innocence of the ;accused. If, however, they have really defrauded the government in the way it is asserted, we trust a new jury will pro nounce so unhesitatingly, and that the punishment of the prisoner will be prompt and severe.— JPhila.
