No stranger our soil is invading, But dark is the mutinous crew, Who boldly their treason parading, Would strike down the red, white and blue. Chorus—Would strike down the red, white and blue Would strike down the red, white and bine Who boldly their treason parading, Would strike down the red, white and blue Oh! look from the turbulent ocean, Across to the far "peaceful sea," The people aroused are in motion, And strong is the arm of the free; Inspired with the patriot's devotion, The Democrats, faithful and true, Are rallying for WOODWARD and Downie:, Who stand by the red, white and blue. Chorus—Who stand by the red, white and blue, Who stand by the red, white and blue, Are rallying for Pi OODWARD and LOWRIE, Who stand by the red, white and blue. Then gather, ye cohorts of treason, Our phalanx will close for the shock; Our panoply—freedom and reason, We stand like the surf-beaten rock, ONE heart and ONE hand for the Union; For conflict and victory too; Our loaders are Woonwano and LOWRIE, Our flag is the red, white and blue. Chorus—Oar flag is the red, white and blue, Our flag is the red, white and blue, Our leaders are WOODWARD and LOWRIE, Our flag is the red, white and blue. The era of peace is before us !

Chorus—Three cheers for the red, white and blue, Three cheers for the red, white and blue, Hurrah, then, for WoonwanD and LuwaiE, Three cheers for the red, white and blue. B.ROTHERLESS Within the West the eye has set Its seal upon the summer night; .I. lose the swallow in his flight, But I cannot see the stars as yet And lordly ship and shallow skill Lie safe alike about the deep ; The even wind is half asleep, And scarcely climbs above the cliff " 0 Fatherland! so blest in pease, So fair," 1 say, " by field and shore Peace is the blessing evermore .

Scattered about the world are dead and buried cities that it is ono of the labors of the living in our day to disentomb. There are Pompeii and Heroulaneum open, to bear witness yet to the life of the past. At Pompeii the disentombment is now going on with fresh activity and good re sults. Old Egypt is delivering up fresh secrets of her dead at Thebes and else where. Spades and picks have been busy over the graves of Carthage and other dead and buried cities of the Carthaginians Ninevah and Babylon, having been in the hands of such resurrectionists as Mr. Layard, Sir Henry Rawlison and others, are left at peace for a short time. Any news thence is old news ; but from the graves of other cities, what is the latest in telligenee ? By the sunny shores of the Bay of Naples, stood for centuries the remnant of an old wall ; and the people who lived near it never cared to dig below the sur face. It is now one hundred and fifteen years ago that a workman, engaged in dig ging a well near this ruin, out into a hol low chamber, of which the walls were covered with paintings. By the slow clearing away of the earth from buildings made by men who lived at the beginning of the Christian era, dwelling-houses, temples, altars, statues, built for the wor ship of heathen deities, baths and theatres, were found all struck to silence like the Sleeping Beauty, only for a great many hundred years instead of one ; and, in our day, so restored to light and life, that we see what the town people were doing in the house and in the street in the month of August, A. D. 79. There are written records of the cause of this sudden burial of a city whose inhabitants were in the full tide of luxurious enjoyment. The letter remains in which the younger Pliny tells Tacitus the horrors of a three days' eruption of Vesuvius, in which his uncle, (admiral of the Roman fleet then lying in the bay,) having approached too near the burning mountain, although still miles from it, met his death by the exhalations bursting from beneath his feet. The ad miral had asthma, and the sulphurous vapors appear to have suffocated him at once, so that he fell, while his attendants fled from the scene of destruction to em bark on board their ships. Returning, as soon as it became light, which was not until after the end of three days, they found their master lying, stretched as they had left him, as if he had fallen asleep. Of late years, the removal of the mass- of mud, ashes, and pumice stones, which the burning mountain had thrown out upon the city, has confirmed the statement of another ancient writer, that the town of Pompeii had been, at the time of its total destruction, in course of rebuilding after the consequences of a violent earthquake which had happened sixteen years before. For, as we walk along in streets, we not only see the theatre and many other edi fices to have been in course of construe tion at the time of their burial, but in the quarter once occupied by the stone and marblei masons there lie portions of an old frieze, executed in volcanic stone, beside which stand copies of the tiame decoration cut in white marble ready for execution in a restored temple. There are wheel-tracks in the lava pavement ; there are worn stone-steps leading up to temples and places of business; and, curiously enough, there is stone, worn by the hands of those who daily stopped to drink at the fountains placed at the street-crossings. By con stantly leaning on one hand while they stopped to drink the running water, these people, who for so many centuries have known no more thirst, wore a hollow in the stone rim of the basin upon which they leaned. Terrible testimony is given as to the suddenness of the last catastrophe. Bread is in the bakers'-shop ; there is a meal prepared but never tasted, in a tavern. Outside that gate, in the town wall which led to Herculaneum, was found a skeleton in armor. It was that of the soldier on guard, who, faithful to duty, had not left his post. In a niche sheltering a seat for the use of tired travelers, were found the bones of a woman and a baby, and those of two other persons clasped in one another's arms. A few paces further on were three more skeletons, two of per sons who had been running one way, and the other of a person who had been hasten ' ing in the opposite direction. Of these one held sixty-nine pieces of gold and one hundred and twenty-one of silver. Money was found lying beside the remains of peo ple who had died in the vain endeavor to carry away means of life whose sands were run. In a room of the Temple of Isis, the priest of that Egyptian deity had met death with feasting, for near him were lying egg shells and the bones of fowls and of a pig, together with a broken glass and a wine vase. In the house known as that of Thorned, were the remains of a man, with that of a goat having a bell slung round its neck, In this dwelling were discovered more than twenty human beings. In a stable were the bones of a mule, still with its bronze bit between its teeth; in another place was the skeleton of a dog beside the bones of his master. Some skeletons had four gold rings on the same finger; due had a bronze lantern in his hand, with which he had doubtless been trying to find his way out of the thick darkness of that day of terror. All these remains were discovered many years ago, but the work of excavation was then very slow. Now the recent change of government has given a new impulse to this most interesting labor, insomuch that during the last few months, more has been done toward disinterment of the secrets of this buried community than had been" ac complished in the previous quarter of a century. There is a regular organization of labor, and about three hundred persons, many of them girls and women, are em ployed in removing the crust formed eigh teen centuries ago by eruption from the mountain which now rises behind the scene without even a wreath of smoke upon its summit. Upon a regular tramway trucks, impelled by their own weight, run down an inclined plane and discharge their loads at the end, just as is done at the for mation of a railway. An entirely new quarter of the town has been thus opened out ; and there has been found within the last few days the roof of a house, with all its tiles lying at their proper angle of in clination,the ashes and mud having poured into and filled the room beneath it so com pletely as to support its covering. There are two houses with walls painted in fresco, looking, when disclosed, as fresh as when first placed upon the walls. Unfortunate ly, in a very little time the colors fade away and alter. The reds especially soon become quite black. These changes are probably due to chemical alteration produced by the sun's rays, and to the oxydizing power of the air. If, therefore, as soon as one of these paintings is discovered, it could be washed over with a solution of boiled glass, such as is used by the modern fresco painters ' in Munich, these interesting specimens of ancient art might be preserved. The writer has suggested this to Signor Firello, the director of the excavations. The very substance is sold in Italy for the purpose of:preserving wood from the effects of fire; and is known by the name of liquore di selce. Several bodies have been recently found imbedded in a mass of hardened mud ; and the fortunate idea struck Signor Firello of pouring plaster of Paris into the moulds thus formed. In this manner an exact cast was made, inclosing such parts of the contained bodies as remained undecomposed. Thus were obtained, first, the body of a man lying stretched upon his back, his features very well preserved; in fact, so perfectly that his friends, were they alive still, could have sworn to his identity. Afterward the remains of two females, a woman and a young girl, were preserved in the same manner ; so that, while of the dress only a cast remains, the skull-bones are there, resting upon the outstretched arm. At the moment of death the left hand seems to have been clasping the dress. In the elder female the left hand is shut, one of the fingers having a ring upon it. This group con sisted of one man and three women, pro bably all of the same family, who were at tempting to save themselves by flight, after having hastily secured certain objects which tiley valued. Silver money, besides four ear-rings and a finger-ring, all made of gold, together with the remains of a linen bag, were lying near the woman. One is struck by the fact that very many of the persons thus disclosed expired while engaged in the act, of drawing their dress over their features. Two reasons may be given for this. One, that it was done in the endeavor to prevent suffocation from the mephitic vapors given off by the volcano. The other and the better, that it was customary among the Romans to hide the face when in the act of death. Thus, true to history, Shakespeare makes Antony say of the mightiest Julius :" And i n hi , mantle Inufiling 29) his fact, Even at the base of Pompey's statue, Which all the while ran blood, great Cxsar fell.

But on the green plain between Luxor and Karnak, and for "THAT COUNTRY TB TEI MOST TROSPIROIIS WHIRR LABOR' COMMANDS TEI ORRATIST RIWARD."--BITCHANAJS • LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1863. twelve miles toward the hills of the East ern Desert stood the temples, palaces and gardens of hundred-gated Thebes, for a thousand years the capital of the great nation of the ancient world. Time has done its work in its own slow way, and the Nile, rising from its newly discovered source in a great tropical lake, and swollen by the periodical rains of the tropics, (not by melting snows,) has played the part of a Vesuvius. Harvests were eight feet above the burial ground on which the glory of the Pharaohs was displayed. At Thebes, also, there have beerirecent exca vations and discoveries.. Diodorus stated the circuit of ancient Thebes, as reported in his time, to have been sixteen miles. Strabo stated that in his day the vestiges extended in length nine miles and a quar ter. These old sunny cities with their in eluded gardens, lay large upon the culti vated soil. Babylon was fourteen miles square; Syracuse twenty-two ; Carthage, of which also the remains are now being dug upon, was twenty-three miles in oir cuit. Yet London is larger than them all, excepting Babylon. The greatest length of London street is from east to west, in which direction one may pass between houses for fourteen miles. With all its straggling feelers into the country brought into a compact square, the size of London would be seven miles by four, and its cir cuit twenty-two miles. This would include a population packed together, with but a few little breathing grounds of park and square to answer to the Babylonian gardens, fields and orchards, which gave men the enjoyments of a country-house in the heart of a capital. We have details from Mr. Rhind of his own recent excavation at Thebes of the unrifled tomb of an Egyptian dignitary.— He found it by help of the forty men who dug under his order. In seven weeks a doorway into the rock was uncovered.— This door has been opened; the tomb within, and another within that, had been rifled; there were broken mummyboxes 5 and mummies themselves lay when they had been tossed out, with their wrappings ripped up along the throat and breast.— But further along, at the foot of the same piece of rock, other men had been set to dig, and two months of work cleared the way to a tomb yet with its seal apparently unbroken. The first entrance was into a gallery within the rock, about eight feet square and fifty-five long, its walls smooth ly plastered with clay. Half way down this gallery Mr. Rhind came to a funeral canopy of brightly-painted pillars, sup porting a painted roof, with a sort of tem ple front in miniature, all very gay with red and blue and yellow. This corres ponded to our hearse and feathers over the dead, and had been delivered up as well as charged for, by the ancient undertaker. Further inward there sat, carved in stone, a pair of monumental figures, two feet high, male and female, side by side.— Their superscription showed that the de ceased gentleman had been a chief of the military police of the Temple of Ammon Ha, at Thebes. Ile was decidedly plump and on his dress was inscribed, All food off the tables of Ammon Ra and Mat is given to the deceased.' The lady by the gentleman's side was inscribed, 'His sister beloved from the depth of his heart.' The statues were flanked by tall jars. After this couple had been buried further use had been made of their tomb. Two entrances were found, still built up, leading to pasriges, one midway in this gallery, _the other at the end of it. There was also at the end of the gallery a mas sive wooden door, barred, locked and pro tected by a barricade of large stones built in front of it to half its height. Great was the excitement of the whole body of resurrectionists. The sealed entrances were guarded through the night by sailors from the boat, for there was no trusting the fellaheen of Gounreh, demoralized by a successful traffic in antiquities. Early next morning the entrance to the side pas sage was opened. It led to a couple of small cells, both in confusion, with their plain black wooden mummy cases broken, and the bodies turned out, many of them unwrapped. There were a few sepulchral images, and in the innermost cell yet re mained the plain Roman lamp of terra cotta, with black nozzle and half-burnt wick, that had lighted the plunderers two thousand years ago. There remained the massive door, of such substantial timber that in ill-timbered Egypt it was a prize worthy to be competed for by a bishop, a deacon, a consular agent, and two sheiks. The door opened on a sloping tunnel, in which a man could walk upright. It was a tunnel seventy feet long, leading to a shaft or well ten feet by six. Half way. down this gallery also, there were cells which had been rifled. Hope now lay, like truth, at the bottom of the well. The well, twenty feet deep, was crossed by strong beams, over which still hung the rope of twisted palm fibres, by which the dead and those who carried them descend ed years ago. At the bottom there were again chambers. Of these, three contain ed mummies of persons who had been bu ried in ordinary cases ; but a fourth death chamber contained a massive dark granite sarcophagus, with the rollers and planks by which it had been moved into position still lying about it. The want of venera tion for antiquity shown by these people, now themselves so ancient, appeared in the use, as planks, of broken mummy cases covered with hieroglyphics. At the door- way of this principal vault, was a tall jar' nearly full of palm-nuts ; there were nuts also scattered about the floor. At the head of the sarcophagus was the pre'served I body of a dog, like a small Italian grey hound, swathed in osiers ; also a mummied ibis, a doll of a hawk, and a ball of bitu men. The dor , was an emblem of Anubis, genius of tombs. ' Whenever a house-dog died in the course of nature, all the in mates of the licuse shaved their whole person. The ibis was emblematical of the recording angel. The hawk was the sym bol of Horns, who ushered the souls that were saved into the presence of Osiris ; and within the ball of bitumen was a coiled snake, probably the horned snake sacred; to Ammon Ra, the god especially honored at Thebes. The solid cover of the sarcophagus, freed from the cement which fastened it, was raised, and the sarcophagus itself was then found to have been filled with bitu men poured in hot over the mummy. The clearing away of this was a long work, and early in the course of it the glitter of a golden chaplet excited the Arab workmen, who dream wildly of treasures to be found in the unopened tombs. The face of the mummy was eased by a gilt mask, and the r temples were wreathed with a chaplet of copper thickly gilt, having eleven bay I leaves of thin gold attached to it by pliant stalks. The outer cloth covering of the rest of the body was painted in a diagonal pattern, answering to that on the top of the wooden funeral canopy at the first en trance. Under the painted shroud were folds steeped in fine bitumen and pungent gums, with small thin plates of gold, some of them beetle-shaped, and glassy pieces interspersed. From the left side of the dead was taken a large ritual papyrus.— When the body itself, was reached—that of a man of mature years, with strongly marked features—the akin of the upper part of his body was found to have been covered with thick gold leaf. In another case was the wife of this dignitary, also with the upper part of her skin gilt, and a papyrus by her side. Others were dif ferently adorned, and one had a gilt mask. The dignitary in the sarcophagus was named Leban ; he had had charge of the . royal horses, and died nine years before our era, at the age of 'sixty. His wife's name was Tabai, daughter of a priest and lord, who is described as 'one very great among mortals.' They went down to the pit with the records that are their letters of introduction to the antiquaries of the nineteenth century. Carthage, too, has, after ail4reen in completely blotted out. After three months' labor on the site of ancient Carth age, Mr. Nathan Davis found, two or three ago, that the keeper of a French chapel there had been stimulated, by observation of his wanderings, to dig at the foot of a piece of wall near a wide pit that had been opened in vain by searchers among the apparently poor ruins of the temple of As tarte. He found in a few hours a charm ing mosaic, measuring about four feet by two and a half. It was complete, and the nature of the ground made it appear to him impossible that there could be more. But Mr. Davis, setting men to work, soon disclosed the bright mosaics of the corner of a temple floor adorned with a colossal female bust, and with two fall-robed priestesses dancing before their goddess. More digging prought to light more of the rich pavement trodden by the worshippers in a great temple that had been restored when Carthage became the capital of Ro man Africa. Much more of old Carthage has since been found. The Carthaginian houses were built, above the lower story, with what Pliny called formacean walls; of earth enclosed between boards; such walls being declared proof against rain, wind and fire. There yet remain turrets of earth built by Hannibal as watch-tow ers on Spanish mountain-tops. But when these earthen walls of Carthage fell in ruins, they formed heaps of rubbish that a few years would transform into mounds of apparently natural soil, with nothing left under them but unsuspected pave ments, through which the Romans often dug in the rebuilding of the city. A thin layer of charcoal, or some other evidence of the action of the fire, is always found on the remains of ancient Carthage. The use of clay bricks for building has been assigned as one main cause of the com plete disappearance of Babylon. For Bab ylon the mighty city is fallen. Scarcely a detached figure or tablet has been dug from the vast heaps that are the graves of all its glory THE COBBLER. In the little picturesque village of Dud dingstone, near Edinburg, lived a poor and honest mender of boots and shoes, by the name of Robin Rentoul. He bad been a cobbler all his days, but to no purpose.— He had made nothing of the business, al though he had given it a fair trial of fifty or sixty years. To make the meet, was the utmost he could do ; he therefore bore no great liking to a profession which had done so little for him, and for which he had done so much. His mind, in short, did not go with his work ; and it was the interest, as well as duty and pleasure, of his good wife, Janet, to hold him to it (particularly when he had given his word 'of honor to a cus tomer) by all the arts common to her sex —sometimes by scolding, sometimes by taunting, but oftener—for Janet was a kind-hearted creature—by treating him to a thimbleful of aqua-vitae, which he loved dearly, with its proper accompanients of bread and cheese. Although, however, Robin did not keep by the shoes with any good heart he could not be called either a lazy or inefficient man. In everything bat cobbling, he took a deep and active interest. In particular, he was a great connoisseur of the weather. Nobody could prophesy snow like Robin, or foretell a black frost. The latter was Robin's delight ; for with it came the peo ple of Edinburg, to hold their saturnalia on Daddingstone loch, and cobbling on these occasions, was entirely out of the question. His rickety table, bottle and glass, were then in • requisition, for the benefit of curlers and skaters in general, and of himself in _particular. But little benefit aoeured from these to Robin, al though he could always count on one good customer—in himself. On the breaking up of the ice, he regularly found himself poorer than before, and what was worse, with a smaller disposition than ever to work. It must have been on some occasion of this kind, that strong necessity suggested to Robin a step for the bettering of his fortunes, which was patronized by the leg islature of the day, and which he had heard was resorted to by many with suc cess. Robin resolved to try the lottery. With thirty shillings, which he kept in an old stocking for the landlord, he went to Edinburg, and purchased a sixteenth.— This proceeding he determined to keep a profound secret from every one ; the first half-mutchkin with barber Hugh succeed ed in ejecting it; and as the barber had every opportunity, as well as disposition, to spread it the circumstance was soon known to all in the village. Among others, it reached the ears of Mr. Blank, a young gentleman who hap pened to reside at Daddingstone, and who took an interest in the fortunes of Robin. Mr. Blank (unknown to the villagers) was connected with the press of Edinburg, particularly with a certain newspaper, one .copy of which had had an extensile cir culation in Duddingstone. First of all, the newspaper reached Mr: Blank on the Saturday of its publication ; on Monday, it fell into the hands of Robin, who like the rest of his trade, had most leisure on that day to peruse - it ; on Tuesday, the baker had it; on Wednesday, the tailor; on Thursiday, the blacksmith ; on Friday, the gardener ; and on Saturday, the bar- ber, in whose shop it lay till the succeding Saturday, brought _another. Mr. Blank soon got from Robin's own mouth all the particulars of the lottery ticket purchase, even to the very number, which was sev enteen hundred and fifty-seven, a number chosen by Robin, who had an eye to fatal ism, as being the date of the year in which he was born. A love of mischief or sport suggested to the young gentleman the wicked thought of making the newspaper a means of hoax ing Robin regarding the lottery tioket.— We shall not undertake to defend Mr. Blank's conduct, even on the score of his being, as he was, a very young man. The experiment he made was cruel, although we believe it was done without malignity and with every resolution that Robin should not be a loser by it. About the time when news of the lottery-drawing was expected, the following paragraph appeared in the newspaper with which Mr. Blank was con nected : By private accounts from London, we understand that nine hundred and eighty fonr and seventeen hundred and fifty-sev en, are the numbers drawn in the present lottery for the two twenty thousand pound prizes. We know not if any of these lucky numbers have been disposed of in -this quarter.' Poor Robin came for his newspaper at the usual time, and in his usual manner. He got his customary glass, but missed his customary bother' with Mr. Blank, who chose for the present to be out of the way. Home he trudged, carrying the newspaper, the harbinger of his fortune, in the crown of his hat—placed himself on his stool—drew out his spectacles--and began to read as usual, from the beggin ing of the first page. It was some time before he reached the paragraph. big with his fate. When he saw it he gasl a gasp— took off his spectacles and began to rub them, as if doubtful that they had deceiv ed him—placed them again deliberately on his nose—read the passage over again, slowly and surely—then quietly laying his hand on a shoe which he had been mend ing, and which contained a last, made it in a moment spin through the, window, carrying the casement with it. His wife, Janet, was not at home, so, rushing out of doors, he made his way to his old haunt, at the sign of the Sheep's Head. The landlady held up her hands at his wild look. 4 Send for barber Hughie,' he cried, and Neil the tailor; and I say Luokie, bring —let me see—a gallon o'your best ; and some cheese— a hall cheese—nane o' your halfs and quarters.' Guide us, Robin ! What bee's this in your bonnet? The man's Byte?' Look there, woman, at the papers . ..— I've gotten a prize. A twenty thousand pounder. What's the sixteenth of that, think ye?' A prize and nae blank ! Eh, wow, Robin, pie's a shake o'your hand. I aye said ye wad come to something. Isy, my dear, HO: for the barber—and Neil—if he's sober—and bring the gudeman, too. The mair thd. merrier.' Rohm ; was soon surrounded by all his cronies flf the village ; for the news of his good forttne spread with the rapidity of scandall Innumerable were the shakings of hand 4 and pledges of good will and as sistance.i. The Sheep's Head soon became too hot Or- the company ; the village itself was in ah uproar; and as halloo followed halloo, Blank inwardly , shrunk at the sound himself had made.' Meanwhile to have thci truth of the statement confirmed, a superaianuated lawyer had been dispatch ed on ad old horse to the lottery office at Edinburg ; and his return with the intelli gence that all was a hoax, spread dismay over thej faces of the carousers, and made Robin's ieart sink with grief and shame. A speedy change took place in the con duct of hose fair weather friends who had flocked around the poor cobbler. From be ing the admired of all beholders, he became an object of scorn and laughter, till unable to standitheir mocks and gibes, he rushed from their presence, and sought shelter un der his own bedclothes. The only one who stolid true was Neil the tailor. He followedißobin to his own house—took him by the-hand, and said, ' Robin, my man, I promised you a snit o' clothes o' the best. I ken ye wad hae befriended me had ye got the ,!cash—and--lottery or no lottery —by Jobe ! I'll keep my word.' Mr. Blank took care to discharge the debt incurred at the Sheep's Head, and endeavoed by proffers of money and other wise, to homfort Robin, and atone in some measure ;for the injury which he had secret ly done ;him. But Robin turned himself in his bed, and would not be comforted. Three days he lay in this blight, when au thentic information arrived of the drawing of the lottery. Robin's number was, after all, in reality a lucky one—not, indeed, twenty thousand, but five thousand pounds. The sixteenth of event his was a little for tune to him, and he received it with a sober satisfaction, very different from the boisterous glee which he had formerly.— , I'll seek nane o'them this time,' he said to his wife, Janet— , except Neil the tai lor : he, pair body, was the only true hearted creature amang a'. I've learn't a lesson by what hi taken plat. I cam wha to trust.' PROPR I ETY. - -Propriety is to a woman what the:great Roman critic says action is to an orator ; it is the first, the second, and the third requisite. A woman may be knowing, active and amusing ; but with out propriety she cannot be amiable.— Propriety is the centre in which all the lines of duty and agreeableness meet.— It is to character, what proportion is to e: , nre and grace to attitude. It does ) ' not depend on any perfection, but it is the result of ;general excellence. It shows itself by a regular, orderly, undeviating course ; and never starts from its sober orbit into any splendid eccentric, ities : for it would be ashamed of such praise as it might extort by any deviations from its proper path. It renounces all commendation but what is characteristic; and I would make it the criterion of true taste, right principle and genuine feeling in a woman, whether she be less touched with all the flattery of exaggerated and ro mantic panegyric, than with that beautiful picture og elegant propriety which Milton draws of our first Mother, whom he delin eates, " Those 'thousand decencies whioh daily flow From all her words and actions."

It will freely and fairly discuss all legitimate millects of newspaper comment, Including, of course, and mon!. nently at this time, all questions connected with the existing unhappy condition of our country. It will fearlessly criticise the public acts a public .eu , vents, and defend the legal and constitutional rights af in dividual citizens of sovereign States, against asaults from any quarter. It will seek to awaken the minds of the people to a proper sense of the actual condition of the Republio—to present to tflem, truthfully, the fearful perils In which we stand as a nation—to exhibit the magnitude of the task that is before them, if they would check our downward progress—and to inspire them with patriotio determination to apply ice RZNEDY for our national ills. In brief, it will, in all things, aim to be the faithful ex ponent of Democratic principles, and to render itself worthy to be an organ of the Democratic party, under whose auspices our country proepered so long and so well. The restoration of that party—the party of the Oonstittl tion and the Union—to power, in the leglalative and execu tive governmental branches of the States and of the Union, we believe to be necessary to avert anarchy, and the titter ruin of the Republic. To contribute to that restoration will be our highest aim.

This desideratum is now triumphal:4ly iseoUred by this Ingenious invention. Many obvious ads's:asps mast arise from the general use of this envelope. First—lncreased Safety by additional sealing; the stamp connecting the envelope and letter securely together and this is never to be omitted, though the sticking of the Hap is frequently neglected or Imperfectly done. Second--Security against Impertinent Intrusion; the letter and envelope being firmly attached by the stamps, and inclosure cannot be Inspected even if the flap be clam deatinely opened. Third—Safety 'against Abstraction of Valuable Judo sores. If the flap be left Unsealed, or opened with' feloni ous Intent, it will be impossible to open the letter and take thence bank notes and drafts without so mutilating the envelope as to insure detection. Fourth—Security for they. , free payment of the Posta; 118 the stamp, when once properly placed in this wind ow, cannot be removed without its destruction. Ih—Advantage therefore to thaGovernnunit ; by the effectual destruction of every stamp in Its first no. • Bixth—Facility to the Post Mee Dperatlone' by a uni form location of the etamp in the upper right hand corner, which is the most convenient poslUon for the Part Offica mark.
