The blood that flowed at Lexington, and crimson'd bright Champlain. Streams still along the Southern Gulf and bv the lakes of Maine; It flows in veins that swell altove Pacific's golden sand. And throbs in hearts that love and grieve bv .lark At lantic's strand. It binds in one vast brotherhood tho trapper of the West, With men whose cities glass themselves in Erie's ( las sie breast; And those to whom September brings the fireside so eial hours, With those who see December's brow wreathed with gorgeous flowers! From where Columbia laughs to greet the smiling western wave, To where Potomac sighs beside the patriot hero's grave: And from the gleaming everglades to Huron's lordly flood, The glor> of the nation's past thrills through a kin dred blood! Wherever Arnold's tale is told it dyes the cheek with shame. And glows with pride o'er Hunker Hill or Moultrie's wider fame; And wheresoe'er above the t'rav the stars of empire gleam. l T pon the deck or o'er the dust, it pours a common stream! It is a sacred legacy ye never can divide, Nor take from village urchin, nor the son of eitv pride. Nor the hunter's white-haired children who" find a fruitful home Where nameless lakes are sparkling and w here !ondv rivers roam. Green drew his sword at Eutaw. and bleeding southern feet Trod the march across the Delaware amid the snow and sleet! And, lo! upon the parchment, where the natal record shines, The burning page of Jefferson bears Franklin's calm er lines. Could ye divide that record bright, and tear the names apart, That first were written boldly there with plight of hand and heart? Could ye erase a Hancock's name e'en with the sabre's edge. Or wash out with fraternal blood a Carroll's double pledge ? Say, can the South sell her share in Bunker's hoarv height, Or can the North give up her boast in Vorktown's closing fight ? Can ye divide with equal hand a heritage of graves. Or rend in twain the starry flag that o'er them proudly waves ? Can ye east lots for Vernon's soil, or chatter 'mid the gloom That hangs its solemn folds about vour common Fa ther's tomb? < >r could you meet around his grave as fratricidal foes, And wake your burning curses o'er his pure and calm repose ? Ye dare noli is the Alleglianian thunder toned decree! 'Tis echoed where Nevada guards the blue and tran quil sea— Where tropic waves delighted clasp our flowery South ern shore. And where, through frowning mountain-gates, Ne braska's waters roar. MiMELMIEOiIi AN AMERICAN STATESMAN IN PALESTINE. The Albany Journal has some extracts from the diary of the lion. Wm. 11. Sew ard, dated at Jerusalem. Mr. Seward says: I have mentioned already one monastery or more in the Iloly Land. The early Eu ropean Christians conceived that there was a great merit in visiting, byway of pilgrim age, the scenes of the sufferings of the Saviour, but they found the whole country in the hands ot ferocious and savage ene mies to the religion of the Cross. Travel could not be safely performed here, nor could entertainment be found. European strangers and religious men founded mon asteries everywhere, often strongly fortitied as places of safety for the pilgrims and of hospitality, and these yet remain. They are Cathoiic Greek, Protestant Greek, Ar menian and Abyssinian; and, inasmuch as the dangers of travel still remain in large districts, and there are few taverns for the accommodation of Europeans, they are the resort of the traveler of the present day. You arc received and lodged, generally supplying your own provisions. They furnish you security and a place to eat and to sleep. If you have any peculiar claim to respect or consideration, they furnish everything else gratuitiously in all cases; but all right-minded persons, on leaving them, present a gift to the establishment equal to the cost of the accommodations. These exceedingly useful institutions arc located, with pious reverence, on the sites of the most memorable events in the life of the Saviour, and his Apostles, and, hav ing been so early located, they are interest ing monuments. Hut Palestine in its social condition presents other and more reliable monuments of the s(Uiie character. You see a party of Syrians or Arabs at rest in their camp, or on their march, and you have exactly before you the rest or the progress of a party of persons in same country two thousand years ago. Patriarchs, women, children, maidens, amid swarms of camels, asses and goats. Loathsome lepers meet you as you enter or depart from the gates of the city, begging bread, but there is no divine person here now to heal them. The blind, the lame, the epileptic, are always in your way soliciting relief. Medical aid, or medicine that will afford relief, is expec ted by the sick at the hands of any person of condition who passes by. You see two intimate friends meet or depart. They cover each other with kisses. You see a party at dinner or at supper. There is one dish, which always is liquid. Each eats by dipping a sop into the common dish. So you see how rational and how probable are "the histories of the betrayal of our Lord by Judas. But I must on with my Journal; — We left the good monks of Kamlah at five o'clock ou Thursday morning, and, through inconceivably crooked and narrow THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1860. pathways, emerged upon the plain of Shar on. An hour or two sufficed to bring us into the mountains of Judea, which sep arate the plain from the valley of Jordan and the Dead Sea. The ascent is steep, the mountains being a mass or system irreg ular and almost unrelieved by valleys. In fact, all of Palestine, including the site of Jerusalem and the scenes of Scripture his* tory, consist of these mountains, except the beautiful plain of Sharon, which lies between them and the Mediterranean Sea. Ten weary hours we toiled in mating our way up these mountains to find tho Holy City. Reaching the summit of one. we descended it only to ascend another still higher, and the roads often sharp, steep, stone stair-ways, which only a trained ani mal can ascend or descend safely. Nor have you ever seen any such mountain scenes. Hardens, fields, trees, plants and shrubs disappear, chalky rocks lie heaped on heaps, no house, 110 habitation of man or beast, no verdure, except here and there a shepherd, armed with his reed, and his dog and his flock of sheep and goats, which extract some juices from the roots of this stunted vegetation. Then once in a long way we find a ravine, where water is detained during the dry season, and here are small fields and gardens, but the general and al most exclusive aspect of the scene is one of desert and desolation. We found a ruined village on a high eminence, beiring the name of Latroum. The legends of the Christians say that it took its name from the fact that it was the home of the malefactor who suffered death with the Saviour, and was pardoned by lam on the cross, Further on I descended into the valley of Jereuiiali, which is held to have been the birth place of the Proph et who most touchingly struck the cords of the hearts of his earnest and devotional countrymen. Descending the next moun tain I found eaves and seemingly tombs in a hamlet which contains perhaps half a dozen families, but the ruins of many hab itations. This is the village of Kamatlia, the birthplace cf Samuel, and the place where he received the sublime call of Cod, and I almost fancied that I stood over the cave of the witch of Endor, when she called up the dead at the entreaty of Saul. I walked through the brook, now all dried up, where David took the five pebbles to supply the sling with which he had con quered the Giant of the Philistines. I did not refuse to believe when they told me I was now in the valley where Abraham dwelt with his family and flocks, and now on the summit of the mountain where the sun was stopped in his course at the com mand of Joshua, to prolong the battle which was to result in the victory of the people of Israel. It was a weary journey through a sad and mournful land, relieved by an occas ional rest under the shade of a rock or of a solitary olive tree, for Jerusalem seemed to be a myth—ever promised but unattain able —when we reached at last at four o'clock the summit of a hill higher than all that we passed, and right before mc on the rocky plain, at a distance of a mile, stood the Holy City. It was not the an cient Jerusalem, not a vast metropolis, not even a mediaeval city like Home, but a modern built town of small circuit, inclos ed with a graceful military wall, and sur mounted with a citadel, towers, steeples, and monuments beautiful to look upon, but disappointing all the conceits I had form ed in regard to its aspect. Fiiled with veneration lor it by its won derful history, and expecting to find its sa cred monuments everywhere speaking their own great explanations, I could not con sent to enter it rashly and rudely. I dis mounted and sat down upon a rock sur rounded by tombs, and contemplated the scenes I was about to enter, under the fa vor of the declining sun. We dismissed our equipage and walked slowly on, passing by half the city to find a gate in the wall. The road, like all I had traveled, was only a camel's path over loose stones and fixed rocks, up and down, but at length we found the hole in the wall, Turkish sentinels on guard, and a narrow, low, vulgar, rough street, through the middle of which, along the gutter, we made our way, jostling now against horses, asses, camels, Turks, Arabs, Jews, Christians, all differing from each other in costume and address, but all equal ly outre and bizarre, while the voices, cries, disputes and contentions of a crowded pop ulation, added to the conlusiou of the scene. This was ' Christian street,' but a street that no Christian of any civilized state would own. A fairer town without than Jerusalem I never saw, a barer town with in I hope never to see. little ragged urchin, begging in Lewistown the other day, was asked by a lady who had filled his basket, if his pa rents were living?' ' Only dad, inarm,' said the boy. 1 Then you've enough in your basket now to feed the family for some time,' said the lady. ' Oh, no, I haven't neither,' said the lad, 'for dad and me keeps five boarders; he does the house-work and I does the mar ket'n.' best and noblest conquest is that of a man's own reason over his passions and follies. Abstract of Reports of Departments. THE TREASURY REPORT. This report gives in detail the receipts into the Treasury from all sources for tho fiscal year ending 30th June, 1859, which, including loans and the issue of Treasury notes, were 881,092,471 01. A balance of $6,398,316 10 remained in the Treasury at the commence ment of the year, making an aggregate.for the service of the year of $88,090,787 11. The expenditures during the same period amounted to $83,741,511 57, leaving a balance in the Treasury, -July 1,1859, of $4,339,275 54. The Secretary does not doubt that the re ceipts of the Treasury for the present and next fiscal years will be fully equal to the es timates, if the appropriations made at the present session do not exceed the amount con tained in the estimates. It is believed that tliey can be met with the ordinary arid extra ordinary receipts already provided by law. The estimated balance that will be in the Treasury on the 30tii of June next, is only $3,530,000, and leaves no margin for addi tional appropriations. If, therefore, the ap propriations should exceed the estimates, or Congress should determine to provide within this period for the payment of any portion of the public debt, it will become necessary to make a provision for such contingencies. If additional demands are created on the Treasury by legislation in the present Con gress, provision must be made to meet them by such an increase of tariff duties as may be required for that purpose. In such an event, he respectfully refers Congress to his last report as containing the views of the De partment on that subject. As no provision has been made for the per manent redemption of any portion of the twenty millions of Treasury notes, and as tho authority for issuing them expires on the 30th of June next, it will be necessary for Congress to extend the law for that purpose forauotber period. THE TOST OFFICE DEPARTMENT. The Postmaster General gives an interesting account of the affairs of the Department. He advocates various reforms, and trusts that Congress will either give its sanction to the specific contract for carrying the mails be tween Portland and New Orleans by voting the necessary appropriation, or else that it will indicate lor the Department such a course of administration as shall warrant it in closing some one of the proposals which have been received and which are now held under ad visement. lie urges action so as to secure suitable post offices fur New York and Phila delphia. He recommends the repeal of the clause of the act of 1858, which declares that in fur warding the mails to foreign countries, the preference shall be given to an American over a foreign steamship, when departing from the same port for the same destination within three days of each other. Dispatch is the highest element in the mission of this department, and hence that legislation which provides for retarding instead of accelerating the mails may be safely pronounced at least extraordi nary in its character. The Post Office De partment, according to the theory of its orga nization, should be self-sustaining, and be cause of the peculiar character of its func tions should not be a charge on the common treasury. The Postmaster General advocates the abolition of the franking privilege, and the substitution of prepayment by stamps, when its abuses would fall where they belong, ou the Government officials by whom they were perpetrated. THE NAVAL DEFARTMENT. The Secretary of the Navy, speaking of the successful termination of the Paraguay Expe dition, says, that tho cost of maintaining the seven purchased vessels in commission was not much greater than that of maintaining a single steam frigate, and that tlmir acquisition has enabled tho Department to adopt more sfticient measures for the suppression of the African slave trade. Since the commencement of the present administration twenty steam vessels have been added to the Navy. Here news the recommendation to still further in crease the Navy, and instead of perpetuating old vessels or expending millions in construct ing a few large ships, it is earnestly recom mended to prosecute with vigor the line of policy which has been adopted by Congress, and add a much larger number of steamships, which can be maintained at comparatively small cost. lie says that it is a source of extreme re gret and mollification that we now, at times, are obliged to sit by passively and see in some foreign countries American citizens imprison ed, plundered and murdered, because the Ex ecutive has nut the means to protect them, lie urges an increase in the Marine, Medical and Purser's Departments. He narrates the operations of the various squadrons during the last year. The Depart ment, in May last, made a conditional con tract with the Chiriqui Improvement Compa ny, and Ambrose W. Thompson, for the pur pose of securing a very valuable transit, depot and naval station, and coal privileges, in the Province of Chiriqui, with a harbor on the Atlantic and another on the Pacific side. It is for Congress to make an appropriation of $300,000. TUE WAR DEPARTMENT. The Secretary of War says of the army: Of nearly seventeen thousand five hundred men, not more than eleven thousand are avail able for active service in the field, and that they are scattered over an area of three mil lions of square miles. He hopes to make such an alteration in the disposition of the troops next season as will prevent any future repetition of the outrages on the Southern and M exicau border, lie recommends the enlist ment of men for a mounted corps, for six months, beginning in May. In actual battle with the Indians success is more owing to in dividual prowess, skill in arms and horseman ship, than to discipline. In point of economy great advantages ac crue to the country. IJe recommends a pro vision for retiring disabled and infirm officers, as a measure for increasing the efficiency of the army. It is not deemed advisable to pro ceed in the manufacture of rifled cannon be jond those wanted for experimental purposes. He speaks favorably of breech-loading arms. The Secretary says it does not appear neces- sary to request any considerable appropria tions for additional masonry work for the for tifications ; such as are not strong enough to offer a good defence, against shipping, may, when tho emergency arises, be re iuforced at a small expense with earthen batteries, prop erly combined with them for mutual support, and of such extent as to give an aggregate armament of sufficient power. The army of Utah remains inactive, and stands in the attitude of a menacing force to ward a conquered and sullen people. lie is satisfied that the preservation of right and justice through the means of any jurispru dence known or recognized by the people of the United States is impossible in that Terri tory. There is, in the present attitude of af fairs, scarcely any necessity for the presence of troops there, and they will he otherwise disposed of during the coming season. The above named Secretaries show wherein they have largely reduced the expenditures and estimate as compared with previous years. THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR. The Secretary of the Interior says that du ring the five quarters ending in September, the sales of lands have yielded over $2,807, COO, and 0,017,000 acres have been 1 catel with bounty warrants. Among the several recommendations is one, that a law be passed, in a spirit of liberality to the settlers on un offered lands, allowing to each two years from the date of his tiling his declaratory state ment. within which to make his proof and pay for his land ; and at the same time ma king it incumbent upon the President to offer for public sale, by proclamation, all lands that may have been surveyed by the authori ty of Congress at any time within two years after the plats of survey have been approved. He also suggests a manner to prevent frauds. All things considered, our relations with the various Indian tribes continued during the past year in a satisfactory condition, lie ; regrets to add that official documents furnish ! sufficient evidence to justify the belief that I the most atrocious cases of murder and ra pine, charged to the account of the Indians, . have been, in reality, committed by white 1 men wearing the disguise of Indians. Meas ; ures have been taken for the amelioration of ! the Indians. The policy now is to gather them on small tribal reservations. The necessary expenses which will be in curred for tho census will require the appro ! priation of at least $1,000,009. It is believed both wise and just to confine the purchase and distribution at the Agricul tural Office to such varieties of plants, seeds, cuttings, etc., as have not already been intro duced into the country. 1 lie recommends an appropriation to provide 1 for permanentandconvenient accommodations for the Courts of the United States in New Fork, in Rurton's Theatre building, Cham bers street. TENSION OFFICE RETORT. By Commissioner Witing's report, it ap pears that the whole number of pensioners now on the rolls is 11,585, requiring annually $1,034,914,15. Army pensioners 10,GG7. — Navy pensioners 918. Revolutionary pen sioners on the rolls on the 30th of June, 165; 8G having died during the year. The num ber of widows of revolutionary officers and soldiers on the rolls at tiie end of the year, 3714, requiring $291,808,78 per annum. Du ring the year ending the 39th September, 6801 land warrants had been issued, requiring 1,030,5C0 acres. Not less than a thousand False and forged claims had been discovered. Eight of the perpetrators have been convict ed and sentenced, four have fled, one has died and fifteen are under bail for their appear ance for trial. Wardrobes. —When Dresden was taken in 1757. by the Prussians, the immense wardrobe ot Count Brulil, the Saxon min ister, contained amongst other articles, 1200 wigs, 800 pairs of boots, and 800 pair of velvet breeches, which the King of Prussia is reported to have ordered to be divided among his guards. This maniac of extravagance had a different habit, with its appending gold stick, watch and snuff-box, for every day in the month, and, lest he should be so unfortunate as to appear in the costume of the day or week before, a regular register of his wardrobe made its daily appearance at his table, the dresses being painted in miniature in a book. The rooms of his palace were adorned with the most costly clocks, statues and pictures; and even the looks of the doors were in laid with gold. Four servants were cm ployed in the charge of his wardrobe, which was shown to strangers as a curiosity. The Empress Elizabeth of Russia, whose beauty was equalled by her coquetry, was so fond of dress, that her ministers, when they wished to set aside any project sub mitted to her, needed only to bribe her dress maker to spoil a new robe. The cat alogue of her wardrobe filled a thick quarto volume. Ot the then fashionable mantles, 7,000 were found in it after her death, ac cording to Borisof, who saw this catalogue. Wife Poisoning. —The town of Belvi dere, in New Jersey, is in a fever upon the subject of the trial of Bev. Jacob Hoover Harden, a Methodist preacher, for the mur der of his wife, and the farmers around are daily flocking in crowds to attend it. The prisoner is but 28 years of age, and ped dled books, till one day, passing in his jour ney near Mount Lebanon Church, near Schooley's mountain, he ascertained that it was without a pastor, and in his nineteenth year, with no preparation beyond an ordi nary education and religious fervor, offered to officiate, made a sensation, and at once adopted the profession of a minister. In his boyhood he had formed an attachment for Hannah Louisa Borland, a girl of his own age, whose family at this moment mo ved to Andersontown. in his vicinity. The attachment ripened to a proposal and an engagement, but being much flattered by New Series—Vol. XIV, No. 10. the feminine portion of his flock, Harden grew inconstant, and asked Miss Borland for a release, which she refused. They were married, but parted immediately after the ceremony. Harden went home, and left the girl with her parents, where she remained till last March. At that time Ilardin sent word that he was sick and wished her attendance : she complied, and took tea at his house, after which she was seized with a violent vomiting, and died in nine days, being constantly attended by Harden, and by him only. On the day of her funeral he fled to Fairmount, Virginia, where he was discovered, pursuing the da-, guerreotype business, under the assumed name oi Austin. pss For the Gazette. Old and New Year. The parting year lias received its death knell. The sands of time have run out and tl.c new born year has come in with the ex perience of past ages to be improved upon. We are a fast nation, hurrying on to perfec tion. There have been more inventions the last than any preceding year. The golden sands id time with many shall run anew, and new resolutions will be made according as the past lias indicated. Our little faults must be corrected before they grow too strong. Every new year places us on a higher plane of ex istence, and may this lie the stepping stone tu nobler and better deeds of usefulness. If we mark the fleeting periods and profit by what is seen of the good and evil deeds of men, we will be amply repaid in the consciousness of having a fund of knowledge that will serve us a good purpose. The good old year has gone without a tear to its demise—forever gore. For it there is no immortality. It will not be recognized in eternity. How grateful should we be for the preservation of life through the past year. Though it is lost, yet it should not be lost to memory, but treasured up in thank:ul remembrance for the pleasures of life and health we have enjoyed. The old year has died, and at its death the infant of ISGO takes up its march on the course of time. This is a fit time to inakencw resolutions—to renew our vows—to lay off the old Adam with the old year—to make new and better con tracts for the guidance of our lives through the coming year—to rekindle hope of success and aspirations for the future—to begin anew the race of life, and let the dead past bury its dead. The living present is ours to do with. Heart within and God o'crhead, we can accomplish almost any laudable under taking. The expired year has been one of most intense interest to ail of us. Our nation has been involved in difficulties such as she never before witnessed. The clouds of dis cord have been lowering in the political hori zon. The thunderings of disaffected politi cians have gone up from our Senate chambers, threatening destruction to our peaceful coun try. While international difficulties are being adjusted on our northwestern borders, we are startled with internal feuds which threaten the peace and prosperity of the Union. The past year has been one of marked advance in the religious aspect of our country. Churches are building in every State. Congregations are refreshed from on high by successful re ligious awakenings. The Sabbath School is advar.cingbeyondallpreccdent. Conventions are being held throughout the nation to en large the nursery of the church, and we are sol ry that our neighboring States and coun ties lead us in this respect. Everywhere wo look, the religious element is working unto salvation, while the political elements are en thralling us in difficulty hitherto unknown. A. T. 11. For the Gazette. What is Education? Among the working classes, of which I beg leave to be considered one, I observe that many have imbibed the idea that the terms educa tion and knowledge are synonymous ; or, in other words, that education is kuowledgeand knowledge is education. This is a great mis take. There is this difference between knowl edge and education: knowledge may be de fined as consisting in a perception and under standing of facts, while education consists in the due development and discipline of man's whole nature—physical, intellectual, and mo ral. A man may master the whole circle of human knowledge and yet not be educated ; he may still be a very bad man. Knowledge does not necessarily make a man what ne should be; but a proper education will make him both better and wiser. It is too generally believed that education has but little or noth ing to do with man's physical and moral na ture. A proper education, however, regards man—First, as a physical being. It has re gard to the laws and conditions of health, for without health no one can perform his share of life's labor. Second, as an intellectual be ing ; a being having a mind that is to be cul tivated, developed, and stored with various and useful information, that he may live in telligently and rationally. Third, as a moral, religious, and accountable being, and hence no man is truly educated unless be he govern ed by the moral and religious feelings—the highest and holiest that God has implanted in man's nature. Education is a life-work. It begins when we begin, and, though we never enter a school room yet will we receive an ed ucation either good or bad. It is a great mis take to suppose that a man can ever "finish" his education. We always have something to learn. 11ARRY HOMESPUN. The Daily Telegraph, Published at llarrisbur:;, Pa., by Oeo.
