This venerable man died in Cincinnati las week, after a short illness. There is proba biy no one living who has occupied high and responsible positions for so long a time as Judge M'Lean ; and we do but record the universal npiuion ot the American people ( when we say that no public man of the pres ent age has passed through so long a career of usefulness, and left a fairer reputation behind him. Yery few have deserved so much esteem and respect from their country men. and it is doubtful whether any have so generally received it. He was appointed to the Supreme Bench, by Jackson, and al ways performed the important duties of his responsible office ID a manner becoming a statesman. In a time wheß public virtue is so rare a thing, and in the hour of our coun* try's peril when honest men are so much needed ; the death of such a man must be regarded as a great national calamity.; but he was full of years and honors, and has gone from among us, leaving the legacy of a good example of that "noblest work of God" an honest man. The Crisis has Come. There is BO mistaking the fact that those in authority, in Washington, regard the cri sis in our National affairs as close at hand. The atmosphere is full of it. Frem the teu* or of our Washington advices, published this week, and which are from sources thorough ly reliable, the present position of affairs be tween the Government and the Seceded States, may be summed up ae follows: —Fort Sumter will be evacuated because it is a mil itary necessity, resulting from the policy of the last Administration j but Fort Pickens will bo re-enforced and maintained at every hazard. This is tho prime cause of the ac tivity everywhere visible in the military de partments of the Government. It appears to be the decided opinion of the President that his constitutional obligations require of him to maintain tbe authority of the Govern ment wherever be has tbe power, and accord ing to his view he has tbe power in tbe har bor of Pensacola. lie will therefore strength en the garrieon of Fort Pickens, and if the troops ore fired upon while landing, by the forces of Gen. Bragg, the fort is instructed to return tbe fire, and repel every assaqlt to the last extremity. The onus of commencing tbe war will then be upon tbe rebellirus States. In this event tbe President appears to be prepared to meet the responsibility. The Difference. There is a diffsrence, we admit, between tbe Republicans and Secession Democrats. — The difference is a wide ore. The former are for the Union ; the latter are against it. The former are for tbe Constitution as it is ; the latter wish to alter, change, to recon struct it. The former respect the laws and would have them enforced j the latter set the laws at defiance, and call an attempt to en force them coercion and war. The formor are opposed to stealing ; the latter justify the men who Bteal the Government property .steal the money of the Government, and who aie a practical band of land pirates. In short the difference consists in the fact that tbe Re publicans are loyal to tbe country, while the Secessionists and those who aid or sympa thise wiib them are traitors and REBELS. Tbe difference is so plain—so easily discerned that every one not laboring under the most lamentable moral blindness cannot fail to perceivo it.— Columbia Jlepublican. "Mason and Dixon's Line." In conventional usage, "Mason and Dix on's line" is the boundary line between the Free and the Slaye States. Concerning tbe origin of that lino, and its actual extsDt, the following are the historical facts : On the 4th of August, 1763, Thomas and lliobi.rd Penn, aod Lord Baltimore, being together in London, agreed with Charles Ma son and Jeremiah Dixon, two mathemati cians or surveyors, to mark, run out, settle and fix the bound try line between Maryland on one hapd, aud Delaware and Pennsylva nia on the other. Mason and Dixon lauded in Philadelphia on the 16:h of November, f llovring, and began their work at once. — Tbey adopted the pininsular liner, and the radius and tangent pojut of the circular of their predecessot s.

The condition of the United States Senate is better than it has been far years. A friend who was there recently, observes that it is a refreshing sight to enter the Senate Cham ber and look upon tho Republican side.— There the desks were all full, while on the other side of the Chamber there was a dilap idated appearance. The Republican Sena tors looked as if they were eonspious that the control of Government had been thrown upon them, and they looked as if they were pre? pared to meet it. Let us hope that it may long remain without change.

THE SUNDAY~SCHOOL TIMES. THIS is a Weekly Religious Paper, published at the very low prict of ONE DOLLAR A TEAR. It is designed for Parents, Teachers, and all who are engaged or interested in the religious traning of the young. It is also an excellent Fam ily Paper. A portion of the Sunday School Times is occu ! pied with NARRATIVES and other matter par i ticulafly interesting to young persons. Teachers I will find is it much that they will like to read j to their classes —interesting matter prepared io 1 their hands, and such as they cannot find else whei e. For the same reasons, members of Bib'te -1 classes, and older scholars generally, will be great ly benefitted by the perusal of this paper, ! The Sunday School Times has every week a re port of the ehoisest matter, selected from the NOON PRAYER-MEETINGS, which are so in teresting to all classes of Christians. Besides a large amount of general religious in telligence, the Sunday - School Times containes all I the most recent Sunday-school news. It reports | all important CONVENTIONS of Sunday-school I teachers. It discusses the questions which most interest and perplex teachers and parents, respect i g the various methods of religious training for the young, the means of gaining the attention and the affections of children, and especially of secur ing their converscn and bringing them to Christ. The subject of MISSION-SCHOOLS for cities, and of Sunday-school missionary work for the in terior, is thoroughly canvassed. Indeed, there is hardly a topic of practical importance to any who are interested in the subject of religious education, which is not here brought under consideration from week to week. The conductors of this paper endeavor to re- I member that the great end of all Christian effort is to bring men to Christ. They aim, accordinglv, to pet iDto every number ef the paper something which shall have for its direct object the conver sion of souls. specialToffer.
