From the New Yogi Evermg Poa. Nineveh and its Remains : With an account of ,a visit to the chalchean Christians of Kurdistan, and thi Yezidis or Demi wars/tippers; and an inquiry into the manners and arts of the ancient 'Assyrians. By Auer's - IL LATA.no,sq, D. C. L. • 2 vols. .New Yotk: George P. Putnam, 155 Broadway. Over the lands_ watered by the Euphrates and the Tigris rise ridges of hills and tracts of table lands, grown with. Corn, or crowned with villages and Arab cemeteries; the chasms, formed by water courses in the sides of these elevated grounds, are, and for thousands' of years have been, the haunts of the hyena and the jackal. The unlearned traveller looks upon these eminences as the natural inequal ities of the country; and their symmetrical forms, which would prove less enormous masses to have been of man's construction, are scarcely sufficient to suggest their real origin to the modern mind, habituated to the pigmy productions of a Wren, or of a Michael Angelo. An energy of investigation, unparalleled-id the history of human intellect, after having' exhausted the secrets of Egypt, confirming or completing its history, and restoring to us its domestic life, has been recently directed to the more mysterious•regions of the capital cities of that great Assyrian monarchy which once extended its domin -ionover half the world. Two private individuals, M. Botta and Mr. Lay ard, have disinterred a history which has been bur ied for three thousand years. Five years ago the traditions of an empire, rivalling in magnitude that of later Rome, consisted of a mass of semi-fabulous stories, arranging themselves around personages of whose very existence there might be reasonable doubt; the stories of Ninus, Semiramis, and Sardi napalus having claims upon our credit, much like those which are made upon it by the fables of Her cules or Arthur. Besides these traditions, we had the incidental witness of a few verses of the Old Testament, and of notices scattered rarely, here and there, among ancient and dubious Greek authorities. The importance of the Assyrian empire, strange to say, was the accidental cause of this paucity of rec. : ords concerning it; for Herodotus, who was satisfied with allotting a single niche in his great work to Egypt, and to other considerable nations', intended the history of the Assyrian empire for a separate treatise, which, if it was ever written, has not de scended to us. In Mr. Layard's'words : " Although the names of Ninevah and Assyria have been familiar to us from our childhood, and are connected with our earliest impressions derived from the inspired writings, it is only when we ask ourselves what we really know concerning them .that we discover our ignorance of all that relates to their history and even to their geographical 'po sition. It is indeed one of the most remarkable facts in history that the records of an empire so renowned for its power and civilization should have been en tirely lost; and that the site of a city as eminent for its extent as its splendor, should for ages have been a matter of doubt." Thanks, however, to the labors of Mr. Layard and M. Botta, seconded by those of Maj. Rawlinson, and the greatest German and French Philologists, we are now in a fair way to recover the lost records Of Assyria, - and of becoming as familiar with the domestic habits, the modes of warfare, the arts, and the religion of that empire, as we are with the customs and worships of Greece and Rome. _ . Mr. Layard, in the autumn of 15.16, induced by the startling discoveries made at Khorsabad by M. Botta, commenced his investigations on the banks of the Tigris with , a zeal and resolution worthy his object. M. Botta, from the mound of Kotiyunjik,' had dug the first Assyrian monument a year or two before. This was an enviable distinction acquired by himself, and by the government—always liberal in expenditure for the advancement of art—which seconded his efforts. I Mr. Rich had already made some interesting observations on the site of Babylon. but they were not of importance enough to abolish M. Botta's claims to be regarded as the first great discoverer of Assyrian antiquities. This gentleman, abandoning Kouyunjik after a slight superficial ex amination, directed his labors to the minor ruins at Khors4bad. Here he made the discoveries which, during the last few years, have, been the leading subjects of comment among the arclunlogists of Europe. In the trenches opened by M. Botta were found series of bas-reliefs, the products of a style of art wholly unlike, in many essential points, any style already known. Exhibiting analogies with the arts of Persia, Egypt, and Asia Minor, which render these reliefs of the highest import as addi tions to, and probable clues to problems in, the his tory of,the origin and progress of the arts in these countries, they constitute in themselves an indepen dent chapter of no mean mark in the history of universal art With an attention to details not in ferior to that displayed by the artist of Egypt, the Assyrian sculptor combined a vivacity and truth which is nowhere to be found in the remains that strew the valley of the Nile. We cannot go along with the French critic, who affirms that the Assyr ian relics will bear a comparison with the produc tions of Phydias ; but we are as little prepared to deny the superiority of some of the best fragments delineated by Mr. Layard to all but the very first efforts of modern art in the same kind. There are - conventional forms and a total disregard to literal versiniffitude in the works of the Assyrian which must shock an unprepared and uncultivated taste, and distract it from the appreciation of the real ex cellenice which abounds in them ; but real, excel lence there is, and tfiat, if we mistake not, of a high order. In details, tale art, as in all true schools, becomes suggestive rather than literally imitative, when literal imitation' becomes inconvenient, from limited•space, or other causes. In a lion-hunt, for example, the lion rolls dying wider the chariot wheels, while the warrior, is sending his arrow be fore him into space. In a siege, the height of the soldiers scaling the walls is out of all proportion to that of the walls themselves ; but the lion and horse have true action; the aspect of the warrior-is bold and noble; the incidents of the siege are depicted with invention and power. So much for the art which has been restored to' the world by Messrs. Botta and Layard; and, by the way, let it be understood that we place the French discovereObefore the English one, not on account of the magnitude of the' discoveries of the - first, but only on account of his priority in order of time, Mr. Layard's dikoveries being much more numerous and interesting than those of M. Botta. To give our readers a notion of the value of these remains in restoring a picture of Assyrian life and data for Assyrian history, we need only state that the slabs of alabaster, upon which the principal works are executed, are many hundreds in number, and that they contain delineations of incidents of every.order associated with the history of this an cient nation. „ But lAsides these reliefs, and more important still, for historical purposes, an immense body of inscriptions have been found, and carefully copied, and, are now being deciphered by philolo gists of all countries. Of course we can treat for the most part only in the most general terms concerning the contents of Mr.-Layard's volumes, but there are two c - three details, which are of such commonly appreciable interest, that we must not neglect to mention them in an account which is' to . contain all that many readers will know of these wonderful Assyrian rev elations. It appears from the investigations of Mr. Layard, at Nimroud, that the Assyrians were ac quainted with the principle'of vaulting by arches, and of supporting roofs by pillars; yet it is very remarkable that neither of these valuable expedients 'was employed, to any extent, in the enormous Assy rian buildings. Consequently, all the closed appart merits are long galleries, narrow enough to allow of roofing by horizontal beams. Mr. Layard dis. covered only one instance of vaulting by the so called "Roman," or semi-circular arch, and that was in a position , where - it was not demanded by the. necessities of construction. A bas-relief of a fishing or pleasure house, showed the only trace of columns; and these, it is most interesting and sur prising fact, were distinctly "lonic," showing that that order was the adoption, and not the invention, of the Greek colonists of Asia Minor. From the circumstances of the neglect of the discovery of the arch and the column, 111 r. Layard infers that it was not made until after conventional forms of architecture had been adopted, and an adherence to them as in the case of Greek architecture, was become a point of religious feeling.. Of the anti quarian results of Mr. Layard's researches, perhaps the most popularly interesting are the determina tion of the site of Nineveh and the verification of the extraordinary and coincident descriptions of that city, to be found in the Old Testament and Diodorus Siculus. An oblong space, the angles of which are marked by four great masses of ruins— namely, Nimroud, Kouyunjik, Karamles, and Khor sabad—is covered with lesser mounds and traces of buildings. This space is about 480 stadia, or three days' journey, or sixty miles around, which is the area assigned to Nineveh by Jonah and Dio dorus. Moreover, the situation is precisely that ascribed to the city by the later writers. To un derstand how this immense size was consistentwith the comparatively small number of inhabitants, we are to'remember that the walls of the Assyrian cities enclosed arable land sufficient to grow corn for all the inmates, and pasture to support all their cattle, in case of invasion or siege. The other problem that will immediately strike all who think of the matter, namely, the present state of the ruins, which are mere mounds of earth, is satisfied at once by the fact that the bricks, which formed the 'chief 'building material, were merely dried in the sun, bud were consequently soon reduced to their parent earth when their thin cases of stiiine,:or baked bricks, fell off, or where destroyed. With such an inherent tendency to ruin; what mustlhave been the size of 'the separate palaces of Nineveh, when the mountain left by one of them, after the lapse of 3000 years, is still 4,985, yards round, and 100 feet high! We-close this hasty glance at the antiquarian portions of Mr. Layard's work" by the following passage from the letter of a traveller, conveying his first impressions of the sight revealed to bim by thetexcasiations at Nimrondi " I took the opportunity, wlailstAt Mosul, of vis iting the excavations of Nimroud. Bat' before I attempt to give a short account of them I may as well say a few words as to the general impression Which these wonderful remains made upon me on my first visit to them. I should begin by stating that they are all underground. To get to them Mr. Layard has excavated the earth to the depth of twelve or fifteen feet, where he hascome to a-build ing composed of slabs of marble. In this place, which forms the the north-western angle of the mound, he has fallen upon the interior bars, and galleries, the walls of which are covered with bas reliefs and inscriptions in the cuneiform character —all in excellent preservation. The upper part of the walls, . which were of bricks, painted With flowers, &c., in the brightest colors, and the roofs, which were of wood, have fallen, but fragments of them are strewn about in every direction. The time of day when I first descended into these cham bers happened to be towards evening, the shades of -which added, no doubt, , to the awe and mystery of the surrounding objects. It was, of course, with no little excitement that I suddenly found myself in the magnificent abode of the old Assyrian kings, where, moreover, it needed not the slightest effort of imagination to conjure hp visions of their long departed 'power and greatness. The walls them selves were crowded with phantoms of the past. In the words of Byron, 'Three thousand years their cloudy wings outspread,' unfolding to view a vivid representation of those who conquered and posses sed so large a portion of the earth we now inhabit. There they were in the oriental pomp of richly. ' embroidered - robes and quaintly artificial coiffure. There, also, were portrayed their deeds in peace and war, their audiences, battles, sieges, lion-hunts, &c. My mind was overpowered by the contem plation of so many strange objects ; and some of them, the portly forms of kings and viziers, were so life like, and carved in such fine relief; that they might almost be imagined to be stepping from the walls to question the rash intruder on their privacy. Then, mingled with them, were other monstrous shapes—the old Assyrian deities, with human bodies, long, drooping wings, and the heads and beaks of eagles; or, still faithfully guarding the portals of ,the deserted halls, the colossal forms of winged lions and bulls, with gigantic human faces. All these figures, the idols of a religion long since dead and buried, like themselves, seemed actually in the twilight to be raising their desecrated heads from the dust of centuries; certainly the feelini , of awe which they inspired me with must have b een something akin to that experienced by their heathen votaries.- We have now said quite enough to enable our readers to judge of the almost inestimable value of Mr. Layard's discoveries, for the historian, the an tiquary, and the'Biblical critic. We must take a glance at the matters of more popular interest with which these volumes abound. As a mere •tbook of travels,' it is one of the most attractive we have had the pleasure of perusing; the glimpses which we catch at Arab life are vivid and impres sive in the highest degree; the account of the Nes torian or Chaldean Christians, who have lived, un tainted by Romish defection from the truth, from the earliest ages of Christianity, among the moun , tains of Kurdistan, is of the very highest interest for the multitudes of Protestants who have clung to the example of the Vandois as being the most consistent historical refutation of the Romish sys 'fern. The personal dangers to which Mr. Lavard was continually exposed, from the neighborhood of the plundering Arabs, and sanguinary Kurds, keep constantly alive the lowest kind of interest in which all are capable of partaking; while that gentleman's invincible courage, unwearying perseverance, and admirable management of the strange company he was occasionally cast among, offer -a spectacle re freshing to behold, in these days, when, thanks .to the new police, we can, most of tis, easily dispense with heroism of the sort exhibited by Mr. Layard. We present our readers with a few extracts, which will illustrate our remarks, and show the justice of our praise. Mr. Layard thus begins the descrip tion of his wanderings' in the desert regions of Nineveh and Kurdistan: • "During the autumn of 1537 and winter of 1540, I had been wandering through Asia Minor and Syria, scarcely leaving untrnd one spot hallowed by tradition, or unvisited one ruin consecrated by history. I was accompanied by one no less curious and enthusiastic than myself. We were both equally careless of . comfort and unmindful of dan ger. We rode alone; our arms were our only pro tection; a valise behind our saddles was our ward robe; and we tended our own horses, except when relieved from the ditty by the hospitable inhabi tants of a Turcornan village or an Arab tent.— Thus unembarrased by needless luxuries, and unin fluenced by the opinions and prejudices of others, we mixed amongst the people, acquired without effort their manners, and enjoyed without alloy those emotions which scenes so novel and spots so rich in varied association cannot fail to produce. I look back with feelings of grateful delight to those happy days when, free and unheeded, we left at dawn the humble cottage or cheerful tent, and lin gering as we listed, unconscious of distance and of the hour, found ourselves, as the sun went down under some hoary ruin, tenanted by the wandering Arab, or in some crumbling village still bearing a well-known name. No experienced dragoman mea sured our distances and appointed our stations.— We were honored with no conversations by pachas, nor did we seek any civilities from governors. We neither drew tearsnor curses from the villagerii, by seizing their horses or searching their houses idr provisions; their welcome was sincere ; their scanty fare was placed before us; we ate, and came, and went in peace." Again, speaking of the Arab life, Mr. Layard "'There is a charm in this wandering existence, whether of the Kurd or the Arab, which cannot be described. I have had some experience in it, and look backward with pleasure to the days I have spent in the desert, notwithstanding the occasional inconveniences of such a life, not the least of them being a strong tendency on the part of all nomads to profess a kind of communist philosophy, sup posed in Europe to be the result 'of modern wisdom, but which appears to have been known from the earliest times in the East. Friends and strangers are not always exempted from the rules of this philosophy ; and as reciprocity is as little under stood in the Asiatic as in the European system, their property is made no less tree with than that of Job was by Arabs and Chaldees some four thou saad years ago. Still this mode of life has not al ways a bad effect on human nature. On the con trary, it frequently acts favorably. One cannot but admire the poor, half-naked Arab, who, intrus t ed with a letter or message from his sheik to the pacha of Bagdad, walks proudly up to the great man's sofa and seats himself; unbidden, upon it as an equaL He fulfils his errand as if he was half ashamed of it. If it be too late to return to his tent that night, or if business still keep him from the desert, he stretches himself under a tree outs ide the City gate, that he may not be degraded by sleep ing under a roof orwithin walls. He believes that the town corrupts the wanderer ; and he remembers that until the sheik of the desert visited the citizens, and were feasted in the palaces of their governors, oppressions and vices most odious to the Arabs were unknown.' The following-is an admirable description of an extraordinary scene—,one of the annual festivities the Yezidis. or Devil-worshippers. It is midnight, in a dimly illuminated forest of Kurdistan : "The tambourines, which were struck simulta neously, only interrupted at intervals the song of The priests. As the time quickened, they broke in more frequently. The chant gradually gave way to a lively melody, which, increasing in measure, was finally lost in a contusion of sounds. The tam bourines were beaten with extraordinary energy, the flutes poured forth a rapid flood of notes, the voices were raised to their highest pitch, the men outside joined in the cry, while the women made the rocks resound with the shrill tahlehl. The musicians, giving way to the excitement, threw their instruments into the air, and strained their limbq into every contortion, until they fell exhaus ted to the ground. I never heard a more frightful yell than that which rose in the valley. The time and place were well suited to the occasion, and I gazed with wonder upon the extraordinary scene around me. Thus were probably celebrated, age: ago, the mysterious rites of the Corybantes whet t they met in some consecrated grove. I did tic marvelithat such wild ceremonies had giver, rise to those stories of unhallowed rights and obsc eneitrys teries which have rendered the name of yezi.di an abomination in the East. Notwithstan ding 'the -un controllable excitement which appear ed to prevail amongst all present, there were no int' or unseemly ceremonies. When tb. e musicians and singers were exhausted, the noic ,e suddenly gestures e suddenly died away. The various groups resu me their previous cheerfulness, and again wander ed through the val ley, or seated themselves uncle , the trees." • The emigration of an Arab " tribe is thus described: We soon found ourselve s in the midst of wide spreading flocks of and camels. As far as the eye could reacb to tlr a right, to the left, and in front, was the sane mco ting crowd. Long lines of asses and bußocks lad on with black tents, huge cauldrons and variegat ed carpets ; aged women and men, no longer abit to walk, tied on the heap of domestic furniture;. u &ants crammed into saddle- bags—theit tiny heads thrust through the narrow opening, balanced on the animal's back by kids or lambs tied - On the opposite side; young girls clothed only in the close : fitting Arab shirt, which displayed rather than concealed their graceful forms; moth ers with children on their shoulders; boys driving floeks of lambs; horsemen armed with their long tufted spears, scouring the plain on their fleet mares riders urging their dromedaries with their short hooked sticks, and leading theirbigh-bred steeds by the halter ; colts galloping amongst the throng ; high born ladies seated in the centre of huge wings, which extended like those of a butter-fly from each side of the camel's hump, and are no less gaudy and variegated—such was the 'motley crowd thro' which we had to wend our way for several hours." Jutelligencer & Journal. E. HUTTER, EDITOR.- Lancaster, May Si, 1549. ANOTHER COLONEL !—Dr. D. E. SHIRK, of Eph rata, has been. appointed an Aid to Governor JOHNHTON with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. We-should think it would afford some Comfort to the clerks in the State Department, if the Aid man. ufactory were soon to stop. 1:1J' THE LIST or LETTERS, remaining in ; the Lancaster city posboffice, on the Ist instant, will be found on our outside page. 117 F. G. MAY'S connection with the Steubenville (0.) Union has ceased, and the paper will hereafter be under the sole conduct of the junior partner, Mr. MEANS. NEW FACTORY.—We learn that the initiatory steps have been taken, by a number of enterprising capitalists, for the erection of another extensive Cotton Factory in this city. Between seventy and eighty thousand dollars have already been sub scribed towards the object. Honceope-rate.—This "new school" of medical practitioners, it is asserted, are on the constant in crease in all parts of Germany.—Exchange paper. Not alone in Germany, but also in the U. States, and nowhere so much as in Pennsylvania. Here too the disciples of Father HAFINE3iAN are numer ous beyond all former example, and we have seen the Doctors of State, who sat last winter at Harris burg to consult on the diseases of the body politic, apply this peculiar theory even to the great system of Finance. Part of this doctrine is, that sickness may be cured by administering to the patient doses of the exceptionable matter by which it was ori ginally produced—the hair of the dog for - the cure of the bite. Now, what most afflicts the currency of .Pennsylvania is a redundancy of Paper Money, which necessarily excludes from circulation the precious metals. And the remedy, which our financial M. D.'s provide, is—more paper still!— Another manufactory of "promises" at York, and another at Danville! The public voice crieth long and loud against the Relief Notes—and the remedy suggested at Harrisburg is—a fresh batch "of the same sort!" If our currency-tinkers would only learn to stick to iqfinitessema/doses, the Homccopathic theory would be triumphant in the state, but un fortunately the parallel fails here, for their minis trations are sufficiently copious to strangle an Anaconda. News from Salt River! We have no additional news to communicate, this week, either from Canada or California, but have several interesting items of intelligence from an attentive correspondent at Cock' d Hat,the flourish ing capital of the Salt River country. He states, that at the time of writing there was a prodigious commotion in all the saline settlements, and that the "oldest inhabitant - could not call to remem brance such another stir and pother. There was a general moving in and out, and matters had the appearance of a coming thorough revolution. The day before, three immense ship-loads of Democrats sailed for their old homes. They all belonged to CONNECT/CUT, of the genuine Down East stamp, and much rejoicing was manifested by all on board, at the prospect of so speedy a return. Their places were soon filled up, however, by a numerous de tachment of Whigs, who manifested much mortifi c'ation at the discomfort of the place, but were obliged "to stand it." This was but a trifle, how ever, to what followed. Scarcely had the Connec ticut boys left, when the whole country was sur prised by the landing of full 14 boat-loads of pale looking TAYLORMEN from Virginia. They looked as if they had encountered terrible storms during the passage—and so wo-begone was their appear. ance, that a wag, on shore taunted them with this sarcastic remark: " Why, my boys, you really look as if you all had the Borrs!" This must have been cruel in the extreme—adding insult to injury. Our informant further states, that the authorities are busily employed in providing places for expected newcomers. Two or three boat loads are antici pated in August from Indiana, one from Maryland, with the prospect of a tolerably smart emigration from the Southern. states. At present the popula tion is of a mixed sort, but the prevailing impres sion there is, that in a few years the Democrats will all have moved out, and that the country will again pass into the sole occupancy of the Taylor• men and Whigs. The latter, from having resided there so long, are better acclimated, and can more readily accommodate themselves to. the hardships of the country. A safe and a pleasant voyage to them. State Treasur3 GIDEON J. BALL, Esquire, the modest gentleman, who elected himself the Treasurer of this State, as sumed the duties of his place on the Ist inst. His first act was the removal of the excellent Chief- Clerk, Col. AsA DIMOCX, who is succeeded by Too• NICAOL4IN, Esq. former member of the House of Representatives from Beaver county. U ' 100 GUNS were fired by the DEMOCRATS of Boston, on the Ist instant, to express, in the words of the heading of the subscription, "their unal loyed satisfaction at the removal of MARCUS Mon- Ton from the office of Collector of Boston!' Mr . Morton has given great offence to his former friends, by consorting with his 01/ political enemies, and elevating " traitors" to office. Such is political popularity—such the applause of the world. For many years in succession, MARCUS MORTON was the standing candidate of the Democracy of Massa chusetts for the office of Governor, and none stood higher in their confidence. Now, that same De• mocracy celebrates his dismissal frorrr an humble Collectorship with one hundred rounds of cannon! Lancaster Savings' Institution. At an election for trustees of the Lancaster Savings' Institution, held on the evening of May 5, 1849, in pursuance of public notice given, accord ing to the provisions of the Act of Incorporation, the following named gentlemen were duly elected, viz: E. Schaeffer, Chr. Kieffer, George Ford, New ton Lightner, John S. Gable, Reah Frazer, J. B. Stubbs. Centre County. The sterling Democracy of this county met a few days ago, and appointed ROBERT Biunow, Esq., representative delegate to the Pittsburg Convention, with instructions to support JOHN A.

Mississirer.—Mr. Tompkins, the only, Whig member in the last House of Representatives from Mississippi, declines a 'le-election. % Glorious Old Virginia; Whiggery Utterly Demolished! Thotigh other states—including even, we blush to acknowledge, our own Pennsylvania—have shot madly from their political sphere—the Old Do minion, Vraarars, proudly maintains her ancient position. The history of this noble old Common wealth is the synonyme of- all that is good, great, and glorious_ She is, truly, the "mother of states and of statesmen." From her loins sprung the im mortal WAsnlawroN, the Father of our common country. 'From her JZIT ERSOV emanated the chart of our National -Independence, and it was by his gigantic mind that the great principles of Democ racy were built upon their present sure foundation. From her mountain forests sprang PATRICK HENRY, that illustrious child of nature, who gave the first impulse to the ball of the revolution, and whose sub lime eloquence is incorporated in the history of the nation. She gave to the nation a Munson, the matchless expounder of republican truth, a RAN- Doran, a Lai, and a TAYLOR, and a host of Patriots, Sages, and Statesmen, whose deeds reflect lustre upon their country and upon mankind. Virginia stood proudly erect in the great political whirlwind of 1840, when almost the whole Union yielded to a series of senseless mummeries and sensual de baucheries, whose bare-contemplation at this day fills the mind with astonishmedt and disgust. She was at her post in 1844, and again in 1548, and to her belongs the enviable distinction, shared by none of the original thirteen, of having never yet depos ited -her Electoral vote for a, Federal candidate for the Presidency. • Again she has terribly rebuked the TAYLOR administraiion, by sending to the next Congress 14 good and true Democrats, opposed to its selfish and proscriptive policy, and only .1 Fed eralist, and lie elected by DemOcratic votes, as a choice of evils! Here is a consecrated commonwealth—a chosen spot of earth, sacred in the eyes of all Dem ocrats and lovers of free and good government• May the old Keystone deduce a moral from this brilliant example! May she here take a lesson in stedfastness and consistency, and if she cannot re trieve the Past, let her, at least, be inspired with firm and fast resolves for the Future! The time was when Pennsylvania and Virginia were as twin brothers in politics, united in the bonds of friendly fraternity, and worshiping at the same political altar. May that period soon again return! In the last Congtess, the delegation from Virginia stood : Democrats 9, Whigs 6. In the next it will stand, Dem'Ocrats 14, Whigs I—being a Demo• cratic gain and Whig loss of five members, equiva lent to ten votes. The following are the names of the gentlemen chosen : Ist Dist. John S. Millson (Dem.) No change. 2nd " Richard K. Meade, (Dem.) " 3rd " Thomas H. Avefett, (Dem.) Gain. 4th " Thomas S. Bocock, (Dem.) No change 9th " _Paulus Powell, (Dem.) Gain. • 6th " James A.

Again we say, all honor, and glory, and praise to the invincible Democracy of the Old Dominion ! ify- The intelligent Washington correspondent of the New York Herald speaks of Mr. MORTON, the only "Whig" member of Congress elect from Virginia, in these terms: The result of the Vir g inia election appears to be fourteen democrats, and a half a Whig; for Mr. Morton, elected over Mr. Pendleton, is very gene rally reported to be for the sub treasury, for free trade, against a bank, and against the Wilmot proviso. 30th Congress 31st Congress - 9—democrats, 6 Whigs. -14 i—democrats, a whig Democratic gain .51.--Whig loss 5 or a difference of 11 in the vote in the House. If the other Stites to elect come in at this rate, Mr. Winthrop will not be re-elected speaker of the House—that's certain. Layard's Book on Nineveh The attention of the literary and religious world has been recently powerfully enlisted by the inter• esting work of Mr. LATARD, an enterprising English gentleman, who has literally disentombed, from its slumber of more than twenty five hundred years, the ruins of ancient Nineveh, the capital of the once proud and powerful Assyrian empire. That our readers may form .some idea of the character and importance of the book, we print in another column an interesting notice of it from the Neiv York Evening Post. From this imperfect sketch alone, it will be seen, that .LA.TARI) . S discoveries deserve to be classed among the most stupendous achievements of this remarkable age. Here ive have one of the most ancient cities of the known world, founded by Nirditou, the grandson of NOAH —a city, according to the prophet JONAH of "three day's journey," and whose merchants, as another prophet says, were "multiplied' above the stars of heaven"—dug up from the bowels of the earth, and many of the house-hold idols of its succession of ambitious and martial princes brought to light from beneath the accumulated rubbish of centuries.— These discoveries supply an important link in the chain of imperfect and obscure history, and by the believer in the Bible cannot fail to be greeted with a cordial satisfaction. With the exception of what is contained in the sacred writings, little is known of the history of Nineveh—for the most ancient of the Heathen authors, who have occasion to say aught concerning it, only speak of it in brief as a city that was once great and flourishing, but is now destroyed and desolate. Notwithstanding its former splendor and magnificence, so little if it was re maining, even in the times of early antiquity, that authors were not agreed aboUt its situation. Luc I AN, who flourished in the second century after Cunrxr, affirms that Nineveh was so' utterly perished, that by not one footstep could its location be determined! Now, however, by the enterprise of a daring trav eller, is not only the site disclosed, but its former palaces and temples are again trodden by human footsteps, and ponderous relics are disentombed and transported down the Tigris and Persian Gulf to Bombay, and thence to London, to be preserved in the British Museum ! Such results are worthy of this age cf magnetism and steam, and stamp the men of the present century with the seal of an almost heaven-born inspiration. We join in the recommendation, so warmly urged by the press both of Europe and this country, and say to our readers, do not fail to buy and read LAyAnn's work on NINEVEH, It is for sale at all the principal bookstores in this city. Mns. PIERCE BUTLER—The New York Sun day Morning .Arews publishes the following piece of gossip in relation to this lady, formerly Miss FANNY KEMAL; whose domestic troubles have recently occupied so large a share of the public attention. 'The incident here related is highly creditable to this eminent lady, and proves her possessed of true Sarnarilan philanthropy: We have read a great deal about the eccentri cities, of Mrs. Fanny Kemble Butler, and we have lately had proof of her decided eccentricity. She is now boarding at the Battery Hotel, entirely un attended, excepting by a very nice lady's maid, and we have met her several mornings, taking her equestrian exercise quite alone. Her favorite ride appears to be through West street, directly on the North River, and a more dirty and disagreeable thoroughfare can scarcely be found, even in this nasty city. A few mornings since, she strolled down among the boatmen at Pier No. 1 North River, dressed in a close straw bonnet, a white dress, and a check josey, (something between a sack and a jacket) and although it was a cold, bleak, windy morning, we saw her embarked and rowed out in the stream by one waterman. We understood afterwards, that, attracted by the painful scene of a ship-load of emigrants, she went on board, and divided all the money she had with her among the poorest 'and most distressed of the families. Gen. Lewis Cass. This.accoriiplished Soldier and Statesman, the gallant' standard-bearer of the Democracy at the last presidential election; previous to his departure from Washington, was invited by the Democratic members of our State Legislature to visit Harris , burg, on his, way back to Detroit. Unfortunately the letter did not reach him at Washington, but was forwarded to the General at Detroit; which ex plainsthe delay in answering it. We subjoin, from the Harrisburg Democratic Union, the correspondence which passed on the occasion. Although defeated in Pennsylvania, Gen. CASS is a 0 great favorite with her Democracy, having justly endeared him self to them, not less by his gallant deeds. in the last War and his memorable services as Minister at France, than by his stern - and unflinching support of the measures of the late National ad ministration. To no man in the country does the Democratic party owe a more laiting debt of grat itude than to LEWIS CASS. HARRISBURS, March 22, 1849 HOn. LEWIS CASs, DE AU. Stn: The undersigned, members of the Legislature, your political friends, give you a cordial invitation to visit Harrisburg on your way home, from your duties in the: Senate of the United States, where you have recently been recal led with such honor to yourself, by the Democracy of your own State. They hope you will afford them this opportunity of paying their personal res pects to you, at the Capitol of the State of Penn sylvania, and of expressing to you the gratification they have in viewing you as the honored standard bearer of the Democratic party of the Union. [Signed by all the Democratic members of the Senate and House of Representatives.] DETROIT, April 3, 1849 GENTLEMEN : Your invitation to me to visit Har risburg, on my reture home, did not reach Wash ington till after my departure, and was forwarded to me here; end i j embrace the first moment in tiny power, to ackn'ifwledge its receipt, and to thank you for this distinguished mark of your kindness and confidence. Though circumstances, which I am sure you will appreciate, would have prevented me from accepting you invitation, had it even found me at Washington; yet no circumstances can , di minish the value of this token of your approbation, nor obliterate its impression upon my mind. Per sonally it is, and will be dear to me, but it is still dearer as . a testimonial of attachment, from the representatives of the Democracy of Pennsylvania, to the great Democratic, party of the Union, of whose principles and cause, it was their pleasure to make me the representative, during the recent Presidential contest, and to which circumstance I owe this proof of your favor. As such I accept, and thank you for it. I am, Gentlemen, your friend and fellow-citizen, LEWIS CASS. W. F. Packer, Edward Nickleson, W. Y. Roberts, Esquires, and others, democratic members of the Legislature of Pennsylvania. Governor of Tennessee The Democratic State Convention of Tennessee met at Nashville, on the 19th ultimo, and was, among the most imposing assemblages ever con vened in the State. It was called to order by Maj. Wir.m.A.M H. Por.a, and was finally organised by the appointment of A. 0. P. NICHOLSON, Esq., as President. On the first ballot, Gen. WILLAM THOUS DA LE of Sumner county was duly - nominated as the Democratic candidate for Governor. The Nashville Union accordingly carries at its mast-head the fol lowing imposing Flag: • FOR GOVERNOR GEN. WILLIAM TROUSDALE, THE VETERAN OF THREE WARS, The Soldier of Tallashatchee, Talledega, Pensacola, the Glorious Night of the 23d December, IST-1 the Sth of January, 1811; of the Forks of Witldaeoo chie ; the Three Battles of the lVahoo hamMork, 17lh,18th, and 21st November, 1836; of Contreras, of Cherubusco, of 211olino del Bey and of Cheid- tepee, in 1848. There is military chieftainism enough here, we should .think, to satisfy the taste of even the "Dem ocratic Taylormen," and bring, them back to the fold. We are happy to understand, however, that the Democrats of Tennessee do not rest their hopes of success upon these grounds exclusively. They are not sacrificing their principles, after the manner of the whigs, at the shrine of Mars. Gen. TRous- DALE is represented as also a Statesman, combining every necessary civil qualification, and as an upright and consistent Democrat. The Whig journals of Tennessee are evidently alarmed at this nomination. The Nashville Banner (Whig) says : "We may say of the nominee of the Convention, what all unhes itatingly concede, that he is well worthy of the sup. port of his political friends, so far as his personal merits are concerned - '—and the Daily Gazette, also a whig journal, says of him: "The Democracy have displayed a little policy in the selection and have now a standard-bearer worthy of their affection and confidence.'" The Union, the ably conducted Democratic organ, says : "The Taylor Democrat's of the State, united with those who voted for Cass, are a majority of the voters of the State; and we therefore look upon the election of Gen. Trousdale as a fixed fact. We need scarcely urge our friends to rally to his sup port. They will do it by spontaneous combustion.' No party drill which the whigs may be able to get up can prevent THE PEOPLE of Tennessee from voting for WILLIAM. TROUSDALE.- Religious Liberty in France Some months ago Monsieur Pilatte, a Protestant clergyman, delivered a course of Lectures in Paris which gave offence to some who, taking advantage 01 some trifling informality of the Rev. gentleman, made complaint to the police, which resulted in closing his meetings and the imposition of a line. M. PiTarte applied to the Minister or Public In struction and Worship," asking to be informed what formalities were required previous to the opening a place for public worship. The following is a translation of the Minister's reply : Sin—You having called my attention to the cir cumstances under which your meetings were closed, and wishing to know in what way the like difficul ties may he avoided in future, I reply, that in Art. 7, of the Constitution of 1 &4S, an equal liberty of worship is secured to those who do and to those who do not acknowledge the forms of worship rec ognized by the law—the only difference being, that the former do and the latter do not receive the sal ary of their ministers from the state. " The right you claim is then incontestible, and nothing can oppose the free exercise of your functions as min ister of the Gospel." It will only be necessary to make known to the police the place, days and hours of your meeting, so that the necessary surveilliance may be exercised. FALLOUX, Minister of Pub. Instruction and Worship." SIMON DRUM, F.sa..—The citizens of Greensburg, \ Westmoreland county, gave this gentleman a supper on the 25th ultimo, which was very numerously attended. Toasts were drunk and speeches made. The company escorted their venerable guest to his residence, and on leaving him, gaVe three hearty cheers. Even the Intelligencer, the Taylor organ in that county, thus speaks of the wrong done to Mr. Drum—" For reasons not connected- with politics, a large portion of the Whigs of the borough would have been pleased with the .retention of Mr. Drum in the post office.- RETRENCHMENT IN Tag Taxestrax.—The ex penses of collecting the revenue from customs from the Ist of July next, are not to exceed the " sum of one million, five hundred and sixty thou sand dollars per annum." There will be a reduc tion of about half a million on the amount it cost in the past year. The Secretary has issued a circu lar calling for information respecting the number of persons connected with the customs, their corn pensation, and the reduction that can be made with due regard to the public interest. Box MOT OF LorinTixs.—The Ministry had been expecting some difficulty with the question of Church salaries; and when the announcement of the election of Thiers took place, Ledru Rollin ex claimed. " How unfortunate that we carried not our scheme before. Thiers, who is just now hand in glove with the priesthood, will not lend himself to any measure against their interests." " Lend himself!" exclaimediamartine, "of course not-- he has always been used to sell himself, and at a tolerably ruinous price, too." American eontodi Abroad. The N. Y. Tribune contriins7a statement of the official income of our Consuls abroad, by which it appears that no Consulate is atpresent worth $10; 000. The largest amount received is by the Consul . at Liverpool, who in 1845 received $9,963 05. The Consulates at Rio 'de Janerio and at London are also worth $9,000. The, next best are the. Cons ulates of Havana add Glasgow, both , of which yield annually upwards of $6,000. St. Thomas and the Sandwich Islands each yield $4,000; six other posts yield $2,000 per annum ;, eighteen are worth $l,OOO ; and the remaining ninety Consulates range from $9OO to $4OO per annum; much the largest proportion of them being worth less than ssou. The Consul at Alexandria, in Egypt, receives a salary of $3OOO. Three Consuls on the coast of Barbary each receive a salary of $2,000, and five in China receive a salary of $l,OOO a year each. One at Beyrout receives a salary of $5OO. Several of the minor Consuls have made no return of fees. Anecdote of "Toni Corwin:, A correspondent of the Cincinnati Chronicle, writing from Washington, relates the following anecdote of Senator "Tom CORWIN" of Ohio, for the correctness of which We would not vouch. Whether fiction or fact, it is characteristic of the man : The conceded fact that the dark and swarthy hue which overshadows the features of Senator Corwin, entitles him to the sobriquet of "Black Torn" was strikingly illustrated a few days since in this city. He had, it appears, occasion to visit the Navy De partment to transact some business with which he was intrusted. While there, waiting the return of the Secretary's messenger, by whom he had sent in his name, a gentleman whose modest and excited appearance betokened an office-hunter, stepped up to Mr. Corwin, whom he supposed from his dark complexion to be the veritable messenger and hand ed him his " papers . ' with a request that he would take them to the Secretary. Mr. C. playfully re marked that he was otherwise engaged just at that time, "but;' continued he, directing the attention of the gentleman to a negro boy in the corner of the room, "if you will give your papers to my cousin there, he will take them to the Secretary of the Navy." Just at this moment a gentleman acquain ted with Senator Corwin, entered the room and addressed him by name. The confusion of the office-seeker can better be imagined than described. He looked as if he had committed an unpardonable sin, which utterly destroyed all hope of his obtain ing an office. He approached the Senator—large drops of perspiration standing on his brow, and taking him to one side, in a tremulous voice kegged his pardon. Mr. C. who enjoyed the joke, told hith to give himself no uneasiness—that such mistakes were of frequent occurrence, and his astonishment was, that he had not been apprehended before as a fu gitive slave. Philadelphia Appointments. According to the statement of a Washington correspondent of the Peniisyivanian, the following appointments have been determined upon by the, Taylor administration for Philadelphia: Collector—W. D. Lewis, Whig. Diqrict Attorney—J. W. Asmead, Native. Marshal—H. Jones Brooke, Whig ; of Delaware county, present State Senator. The Naval Officer and Post Master not ascer taMed, though it is confidently asserted that Mr. Monti's, of the Inquirer, is to have one of these places. Where are the Independents? Is there no sops for them? TAXING IT AS HE SHOULD.—JOHN S. BAGS, Esq., formerly editor of the Detroit Free Press, on his removal from the office of Post Master at Detroit, published the following card, which indicates that Mr. B. understands taking such things philosophi cally. We doubt not that the Democrats of that city and of the state, will welcome him back to the editorial chair, and to a position where he may more effectually advance the exalted principles of his party. BACK AGAIN.—The undersigned, having been relieved of the duties of Post Master of this city, retur.ns this day to his•former connection with the Free Press. For the present, he will only say, that, in resuming his editorial labors, he will endeavor to advance the best interests of the state, and of the Democratic party. Hanmorrr,CONCESSlON,Usios, everything for the CAUSE, nothinc , ' for MEN, will be his party w;tchword. JOHN S. &GC. 1.13 Gen.

FEMALE TEsTptoNy.—The sister-in-law of the senior Editor of the West Chester Republican, sends home in a letter two ounces of the genuine gold dust, and fully confirms the reports heretofore pub lished in relation to the riches of the mines. In writing to her she says her husband had been at the mines, and acquired a considerable. quantit of the dust. She, besides attending to her house hold duties, was earning $2O a week by sewing. PROOF READlNG.—Proofreaders are sometimes very negligent In speaking of Gov. McDowell's speech, the manuscfipt said, ";any members wee, and among them Mr. Speaker Winthrop more than once gave way to his feelings in a flood of tears." The printed copy read, " many members slept, and Mr. Speaker Winthrop more than once gave way to his feelings in a onug of beer." Ttrantrin Our.—The Skowhegan Press states that one establishment in that place, turned out between ten and twelve thohsand dollars' worth of shovel handles the past year.

A Goon Hir.—Theodore Parker says :—" Mr . Facing-both-ways is a popular politician in Amer ica just now, sitting on the lence between honesty and dishonesty, and like the blank leaf between the Old and New Testaments, belonging to neither dispensation." fl 7" Over a watering place in Vermont, a gen tleman found inscribed the following spirited verse, which he transcribed while watering his horse : " Temperance fountain good as can be ; Better far than rum or brandy ; If this truth excite your fury, Let your horse be judge and jury." 111 An old toper, in the last stage of the dropsy, was told by his physician that nothing would save him but being tapped. His son objected to this operation by saying, "Daddy, daddy! don't let him for you know that there was never anything "tap ped- in this house that lasted more than a week." 117 - There is some philosophy in the following from the Germantown Telegraph. To die expressly to have people to speak well of one may be all well enough ; but we intend to lire with that view, so that we marwitness our own exaltation. CANADA.—We have seen a letter from Montreal, says the N. Y Tribune, dated Thursday, after burn ing of the Parliament House, which states that it is almost impossible to describe the feeling which pervades the people in relation to political matters and that the general cry is for annexation to the U. States. The writer is an American merchant and has resided in Montreal several years. WM CAROLINA. election of Members of Congress in the Old North State takes place on the first Thursday in' ugust, and the candidates, are already announced. 10 - The Rev. Thomas J. Burrows, who is now in Worcester county jail, for killing -Mr. Bishop, has employed the Hon. Henry A. Wise to defend him For the .Tatelligenter The Gas Lights. The attention of the citizens of Lancaster is di rected to one of the most profitable investments ever offered to them. It is a well established fact, from, the experience of cimilar enterprises, that few, if any, of, another character, pay so well as Gas Companies. My reason for presenting these few remarks is, that, if our citizens should feel at all tardy in subscribing to the stock, when the Books . shall be opened, on the lith instant, some. of the knowing ones from a neighboring city, (as I am credibly informed) will be here, to take it all. Now can it be possible that the citizens of good old Lancaster will be so asleep to their owp•interests ? As the shares are but $35, I feel satisfied that one and all of. our citizens, who conveniently can, will come forward and enrol their names on the sub scription list as stockholderS, to the exclusion of those from abroad. Why will our citizens, when the most of them can join in the enterprise, permit others to reap so rich a harvest. You may talk of your Savings' Fund, and speculations of differ ent kinds, but none, 1 believe, will bear comparison with the productiveness of the present enterprise Who in our midst would not feel indignant at his own neglect, after the stock is all taken, to hear the fortunate ones (then and then only) boast of their success in obtaining what they did.? They. will be silent until all is over. This is no delusion. Inquire for yourselves•be fore the Inth instant', and be satisfied of these facts, and do not be caught napping. This is another great step in the adimricement of the city interests, which all should feel a pleasure in -promoting, by entering heartily into the measure. It will increase the value of property, give additional labor to the working classes, and be the means of encouraging the erection of many more Factories and edifices of different kinds throughout the city. A. E. Affairs in Canada. Montreal Quid.—✓lgiturion in the Eastern Townships Further Arrests. MONTREAL, May 5. The Parliament: was not in session to day. It will convene on Monday next, and hold its sessions in the new building owned by Mr. Hayes, called the Free Mason's Hall. But it is said the seat of government is to alternate four years at Quebec and Toronto. A young man engaged in the Custom House has been arrested, and is in custody for disturbing the peace, or, it is probable, to be detained as a witness. The agitation still continues in the eastern town ships. All is quiet in Montreal. SECOND DESPATCH. MONTREAL, May 5-7 P. M. The giivernnient has taken possession of the new building, belonging to Mr. Hayes; and both Houses ot 'Parliament will meet there on Monday.

" PROGRESS OF THE Aus."—The editor of the Easton .flrgus, a few days ago, saw a boy and girl, neither of them over eight years of age, stagger by his office, beastly drunk. (For the Lancaster Intelligencer.) Mr. EDITOR : While on a visit to Philadelphia, a friend took me to the splendid China establishinent of Messrs. TYRDALE & MITCHELL, 219 Chesnut St. I found, to my great surprise, that Messrs. T. & M. were offering goods at unprecedentedly low rates and I was so struck with the difference that I found myself continually asking questions such as this : Is there anything the matter with that Dinner set marked only 812,00 for 130 pieces? I was politely shown that it was of the very best material, and perfectly sound. I scarcely knew what to think of it, until I found out that they have adopted the Cash System, and in consequence of the large amount of their sales, made for Cash, and involving no lasses, they can afford to sell at prices that will defy com petition by those who do a smaller business, or a credit business. In fact, I found that a citizen or a farmer can buy a Dinner . set—a Tea set—a Toilet set—a set. of Glassware—or anything from an entire outfit to a two cent Bowl, at much lower prices than are paid for such wares by the quantity at wholesale, on Market street, to those merchants who must have heavy profits to covers interest and losses accruing from long credit. In a word I found that those 'buyers, who, from a proper spirit of economy had examined the market themselves—and had not taken as true a prejudice that has been industriously circulated by interested parties that Chesnut street was the dearest street in the city—have been for years enjoying the advantage of selecting from the largest variety, the newest styles and patterns to be found in the U. States and at as low rates as they could have been ob tained anywhere. By their new system, T. &M. are now prepared to offer the same extensive„vari ety at greatly reduced prices; and being convinced of the.above facts, I ask the favor of you to insert this communication, and oblige Health and Strength.
