In this relation meet many dl, bons for carrying sympathy to a great height, when the blinding effect of early familiarity and the palling effect of routine are pre vented or neunallzed. The organic affini ties and heritage derived from their com tenon parenta,ge, with the memories laid hopes they have in common, are, of themselves, endearing bonds. Then there am differences enough in the boy and the girl to give their communion contrasts and zest. ' 'Unless they art frigid, selfish, or ab sorbed in counter directions, or are the sub jects of some unfortunate incongruity, a rich friendship spontaneously arises between a brothertnd a sister who advance to maturity in the same dwelling. A. gi ft ed woman, the author of "Counterparts" and "Charles Au chester,"who, devoured by the risme of her own genius, died too young, has written, somewhat extravagantly, "0 blessed sym lathy of sisterhood with brotherhood! sur passing all other friendship,leavening with angel-solicitude the purest love of earth. No lotership like that of the brother and thesis=UT. however passionate their spirits, when SW truly love." marcosus, in the classic fable, had a lovely sister, to whom he was most fondly attached. They were the images and mirrors of each other. It was only when death had snatched her from his side, that, pining under hie be reavement, wandering by fountains and sivers,'he caught glimpses of his own reflec tion- and, mistaking the illusory show for his l ost' companion, fell in love with himself, and languished away till rejoined with her in the pale world of Hades. Hardly any picture in literature is more famous than that of the friendship of Orestes and Electra. What divine beauty; what tragic pathos, what immortal, truth, are in it! And the friendship of Antigone and Polynices is simi lar. With the Greeks this relation was un der the speciai protection of Apollo and Diana, the ditine brother and sister, whose physical representatives were the sun and moon, Iptdgenia, priestess in Tauris, in her distress , for her brother, prays to the goddess for pity asul help:— For thou, Diana, lov'st thy gentle brother, Beyond what earth and heaven can offer thee, And don, with quiet yearning, ever turn Thy virgin face to his eternal light. A. striking example of this relation, sus tainedwith great fulness and warmth, was given by Saint Benedict and Saint Scholas tics in the Sixth century. In the ecclesiastic legends connected with the canonization of this brother and sister, it is narrated that they were accustomed to meet, at a place intermediate between their retreats on Mount °wino and at Plombariola, and to spend the night together in spiritual conversation and communion on the joys of heaven. Three days after their last interview, Scho lastics died in her solitude. Benedict, rapt in contemplation on his mount at that mo ment, is said to have seen the soul of his sister ascend to heaven in the shape of a dove. He immediately sent for her body. and had it laid, with tender and solemn cere monies, in the tomb which he had previously prepared for hibself. The friendship of Tasso and his sister Cor nelia has often been the theme of painting and of song.. When, escaping from Ferrara, lacerated, irritated, matincholy, the poor half-mad poet tied from his persecutors, he thought he would test the affection of his varly playmate and friend, whom he had not seen for many a weary year. Disguising himself as a shepherd, he presented himself before her in her home at Sorrento. He., drowse piteous a picture of her brother'sr misfortunes and condition that she Stinted. As soon as she recovered, he made himself known; and Tor quato and Cornelia, with a swift revival of their old affection, were locked in a tender embrace, as has. been described by Mrs. Hernans in a poem of extreme beauty and power of feeling. The peaceful retreat, the gloriglorious scenery, the gentle nursing, restored ous to, health and cheerfulness. Alas that' he would not stay, but, rushed away to his fate! The beautiful and chivalrous Margaret of Navarre was a pattern of enthusiastic devotion to her brother, Francis I. When Charles V. carried him prisoner to Madrid, and ~he was dyine there, she went to him through every peril, and, by her nursing, re stored him. She then formed a friendship with the sister of Charles, and induced her secretly to espouse Francis, thus securing . his deliverance by his imperial brother-in `law. The enduring monuments of' art with which Francis embellished his kingdom were her inspiration. At a distance from him in Ids last illness, "she went every day and sat down on a stone in the middle of the road to catch the first glimpse of a messenger afar off. And she said: `Ah! whoever shall come to announce the recovery of the king, my brother, though he be tired,jaded, soiled, qiabevelled, I will kiss him and embrace him as though he were the finest gentleman in the kingdom.' " Hearing of his death, she soon followed him. It is painful to know that the love of Francis to her (was not a tithe of hers to him. lie loved her, but 'treated her with a great deal of the feudal tyranny which belonged to the age. She de served from him boundless tenderness and generosity. Sir Philip and Mary Sidney shared the same studies and labors, and were endeared even more by similarity of soul than by: their. common parentage. Together they trans lated the Psalms. The name and dedication which the brother gave to his principal work are an imperishable shrine of his affection for his sister—The Counteu of Pembroke's Arcadia. Spenser refers to her as . "most resembling in shape and spirit her brother derg'." She wrote a beautiful elegy on his death at Zutphen: "Great loss to all that ever did him sec; Great loss to all, but greatest loss tome. The renowned experimental philosopher, Robert Boyle, and his sister, Catherine, the" very accomplished arid famous countess of Ranelagh, were a noted pair of friends. Bishop Burnet has drawn for us a delightful picture of them. He says: "They were pleasant in their lives, and in their, deaths they were not divided; for, as he lived with her above forty years, so he did not outlive her a week. The countess "lived the long est on the most public scene, and made the greatest figure in 'all the revolutions of these kingdoms for above fifty years of any woman of that age." bhe laid out her time, her lute-, rest and her estate, with the greatest zeal and success, in doing good to others, without re gard to sects or relations. "When any party was down, she had credit and zeal enough to serve them; and she employed these •so effectually that, in• the next turn, she hadn new stock of credit, which she laid out wholly in that labor of love in-which she I spent her life. And though some particular epiriions might shut her up in a divided cora- Icrounlon, ,yet,her Eitul was never of a party.: I 13be 'divided her ebarities and friendships both, her esteem as we,ll as her bounty, with the truest regard to merit and her own obli gations, without any difference made upon the, account of opinion. lobe had, with a vast reach of knowledge and apprehension, an universal affability and easiness of access, an humility that descended to the meanest persons , and 'Concerns, an kindness and TeaditiCSB to advise those who had no oc-, , fox . ' any farther assistance from her. , And with afi those and many other excel leut M. ~ quallties, she. bad • the deepest sense of on,. and the most eonstant turning of her thOnghts and discourses that way', that has been, perhaps, in our age. Such a sister, became such a brothof;and it was bat suits - -.hie to both their Characters, that they shad hays improved the relation under which they ivere`borla to the more exalted an endearing .040 trillif — L" Deo of the Most distinguished in the lang roll of eminent astronomers are a brother and • a sister.--Sir William and Caroline Herschel. The story of their united labors—how, for thousands of nights, side by side they sat and watched and calculated and 'wrote, ona sweeping the telescopic heavens, thn..other assisting, and noting . down the resilluit , how, with ono spirit and one in terest, they grew old together and illustrious together ; their several achieve ments, both at home and in observatories on strange shores to which they voyaged, . always associated; with what affectionate care she trained the favorite nephew, who was to burnish into still more effulgent brightness the star-linked name of Herschel, —the story of all this is full of attractiveness, and forms one of the warm and poetic epi eodes in the high, cold annals of science. The union of John Aikin and his sister Le titia—afterwards Mrs.. Barbauld, , —in life, tastes, labors, was uncommonly close and complete. The narrative of it—so warm, substantial, and healthy was it leaven a pleasing and. invigorating influence on the sympathies of those who read it. They composed together several of their excellent and most useful' literary works. While Mrs. Barbauld . was tarrying at Genova,her brother addresied a letter in verse to her: Yet one dear wish still -struggles in my brea st, • And paints one darling Object unpossessed. How many years have whirled their rapid course Since we, sole streamlets from one honored source, • In fond affection as in blood, allied, HMI) wanderedidevions from each other's side— Allowed to catch alone some transient view, ' Scarce king enough to think the vision true! -010 then, while yet some zest of life remains; ' le tran.a•no rt ant can meal the beating veins; While sweet remembrance keeps her wonted seat, And fancy still retains some genial heat; When evening bids each busy task be o'er—, Once let us meet again, to part nd more! That evening came. In the village of Stoke Newington,. they . spent the last twenty . years of their lives, in that close neighborhood which admitted of the daily, almost hourly, interchanges of mind and heart. There was a friendship . 'of great strength between Ekathe and 'his sister Cornelia.' She was only a, Year younger than her brother,— his companion in plays, lessons, and trials, bound to him by the closest ties and kinnu merable associations. While she was yet in the cradle, he prepared dolls and amusements for her, and was very jealous of all who came bet Ween them. They grew up in such union, that, as he afterwards said, they might have been taken for twins. The sternness of their father drove them into a more confiding sympathy. When he had become a young man, and was accustomed to make frequent excursions, he says, "I was again drawn towards home, and that by a magnet which attracted me strongly at all times : it was my sister." Cornelia had superior en dowments of mind, great force and truth of character; but she keenly felt her want of beauty—"a want richly compensated by the Unbounded confidence and love borne to her by all her female friends." And yet Gothe says, "When my connection with Gretchen was torn asunder, my sister consoled me the more warmly, because she felt the secret satisfaction of having got rid of a rival; and I, too, could not but feel a great pleasure when she did me the justice to assure me that I was the only one who truly loved, understood, and esteemed -her." At twenty three,Cornelia was married to one of Gathe's intimate friends,—Schlossler;ll and, in four years, she died: , In one of her brother's frequent allusions to her, this staiking trait is recorded: "Her eyes were not the fined 1 have ever seen, but the' deepest, behind which you expected the most meaning; and when they expressed any affection, any love,. their glance was without its equal." In his autobiography, written' long, long after her death, he says, "As I lost this beloved, incomprehensible being but too early, I felt inducement enough to picture her excellence to myself; and so 'there arose within me the conception of a poetic whole, in which it might have been possible to exhibit her individuality: no other form could be thought of for it than that of the Richard sonian romance. But the tumult of the world called me away from' this beautiful and pious design, as it has from so many others; and nothing now remains for me but tocall up for a moment, that blessed spirit, as if 'by_ the aid of a magic mirror." A relation of a more absorbing character than the foregoing existed between Jacobi and his sister Lena. ""For along series of years," Steffens writes, "she lived one life with her brother, even ennobling and exalt ing him by her presence. She took part in all his studies, all his controversies; and changed the still self-communion of the lonely man into a long conversation." There are man* accounts; given by contempora ries, of her minute carefulness for him, and unwearied devotion to him. Some make the picture a little' comical, from the excess of coddling; but all agree as to the unfailing and affectionate sincerity of their attachment. There was an uncommon friendship be tween Chateaubriand and his youngest sister, Ladle „•• girl of extreme beauty, genius, spirit ty and melancholy. He says of those years, "I grew up with my sister Lu cile: our friendship constituted the whole of our lives."—"Her thoughts were all senti ments."—"Her elegance, sweetness; imagi naiveness and impassioned sensibility, pre sented a ponxbination of Greek and German genius." 4 --"Our principal recreation con sisted in, walking, side by side, on the great -Mill: in spring, 'on a carpet of primroses; in,',' autumn, on beds ,of withered foliage; in winter, on a covering of snow. Young like the primroses, sad like the dry leaves, and pure as the 'new-fallen snow, there was a harmony between our recreations and ourselves." Lucile first per suaded her brother to write. Afterwards he says, "we undertook works in common; we passed days in mutual consultation—in com municating to each other what we had done, and what we purposed to do." The lamenta tion he breathed over her grave, when she died, is OnO • of the most affecting passages in his long autobiography. ikust and Charlotte Schleiermacher were 'a choice and ever-faithful pair of friends. The published life and letters of the great preacher revealthe full beauty and importance of this relation. Their correspondence is filled equally , with the manifestations of varied intelligende and of congenial feeling. , Sharing . all their eiperience in affectionatein tercourse, or in fall and Cordial letters,they ap peared thus to find their pleasures heightened, their per cleared, their trials alleviated. To this noble divine,so celebrated for his profound scholarship,his'enthusiastie piety, his, exalted sensibility, and his heroic aims, Charlotte was knit by affinities of character and life, even more closely than by those of blood and name. The souls and experiences of William and. Dorothy ,Wordsworth were' interwought with singular felicity and entireness: Read ers will long trace the signals of this friend- ship in his works—the record of it in his ne-, phew's memoir of blin—with pleased surprise, and dwell on its lessons with thoughtful gratitude. Dorothy, not quite two years lounger than William, was gifted like him, fraught with a Similar temper of patient ten-. derness, and boUnd up with him izethe same bundle cif life. How thormighly she lived in him is hetrayed,,with a wive simplicity altogether charming, in her published no of the tour they made in Scotland. is THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.—PHILADELPHIA, q n Y.

Depicting her influence'on him, he thanks Clod, and says : They took a cottage at Grasmere, Where they lived by themselves until William's marriage; nor were they parted then. This plot of orchard-ground is opts; My trees they are, my alster'silowers. ' Obien Coleridge was in Germcmy,"'he wrote to them along letter in hexameters, in which were these lines:— William, my head- and my heart 1 dear William and dear Dorothea I You have all in each other but T. am lonely, and want you% At another time, the saina, man, so beloved by them both, *rites to a common friend in the following strain: "Wordsworth and his exquisite Sister are with me. She is a woman, indeed—in mind, I mean, and in heart. In every mo tion' her innocent soul outbeams so brightly that who saw her would say, .`,Guilt is a thing impossible with her.' Her information is va rious; her eye, watchful in minutest observa tions of Aature; and her taste, ,a ,perfect elec trometer." Referring to the period' of his opening manhood, and the sanguine • hopes kindled by the dawn'Of the French Revolution I Wordsworth says: The blessing of my lateryears Was with me when a boy. She gave me eyes, shegave me ears, And humble cares and.delleate fears-- A heart, the fountain of meet tears— And love, and thoug4t, and joy. • • "When mry day brought with, it some new sense, Of exquisite regard for common things, And all the earth Wlll3 budding with these gifts Of more refined humanity, thu breath, Dear sister. was a kind ofgentler aping, That went before mg steps.b She lived with him indoors and outgf doors. She weaned him from the imbittering brawl of nolitics, and warded away the sourness aria d es p a i r . w hich,, at one titae,_ seriously threatened to possess him. Inthe "Prelude" he makes this touching acknowledgment: • Then it was, Thanks to the bounteous Giver of au good That the beloved sister, in whose sight Those days were passed, . . . Maintained for me a saving intercourse With my true self. Daily, for so • many years, they went "step ping westward" in company. His eldest ,daughter—his most darling child, whose radiant apparition he imagined had come for him as he was dying,, and cried, "Is that Dora ?"—bore the dear sister's name. Several of henpoems were printed with hie. In addition to the well-known poem, "To My Sister," the "Descriptive Sketches" and "An Evening Walk" were addressed to her. And numerous incidental tributes woven into 'his chief works, will, better than any magic spice or nard, perfume her memory,and keep it fresh as long as his . own has name and breath to live among men. "Mine eyes did ne'er Fix on a lovely object, nor my mind • Take pleasure in the midst of happy thoughts, But either she, whom now I have, who now Divides with me that loved abode, was there, •Or not far off.' Where'or my footsteps turned, Her voice was like a hidden bird that sang, The thOught of her was like a flask oClight, Or an unseen companionship, a breath. Or fragrance independent of the wind.

V in.IL, longitude 65 deg. 2(i in. W., and lies right in the track of all vessels from Europe, Brazil, East Indiee, and the Pacific Ocean bound to the Wen India Islateld or to.the 'United States. It is the point where ell vessels' touch for supplies, when needed. corning from any of the above stations. It is a central point from which any or all of the West India Islands can be assailed, while it Is impervious to attack from landing parties, and on be fortified to any extent. , Nothing can be more beautiful than the town and baY °rat. ThOmee, pa Been from the sea, or from the great summit that overlooke them. The bay, at the head of which lies the town of St. Thomas, is alinost circular, ',the, entrance being by a ' --dal by two heavy forte which, although le at present resisting tile heavy ordinance can be so strengthened and protected that power could ever hope to • take it. . ..ornas is a small Gibraltar of, itself , and , could , act attacked by a navel force There would be no possibility of landing troops there, as the Island is surroundedhy reefs and breakers;, and every point neat which a vessel or boat could approach is a natu re' fortification, and only requires guns, with little labor expended on fortieed works. It is true that the island was captured by the Britian in 1807, while ander the charge:et the Beulah Governor Von Sehottett, but therevite not a shot fired' or 'any effort made to defend the place. This is the only in- Rance where the , leland has over been in the hands of a foreign enemy, and the British. would have held it to this day, instead , of for seven years, could they have done, o without difficulties., -There fano harbor in the united States better fitted than flit . Thomas for a naval station. Its harbor and that of San Juan, and the bathers formed by Water Island: would contain alt the - vessels of the largeEt 'wry in the world, where they would be protected at all time frnM,bad weather, and be - secure agidnat an enemy Gregorie Channel, ball a idle tothe west of the her . bar of lit. Thames.is, it anything , a better harbor than St. Thomas, and Lance...dble to any enemy if properly fortified... Ne epenirs vessel can enter these harbors, for their entrances are so narrow that they can be completely obstructed , by heavy chatne, against which itio'ship would venture to ran with a nuMber of fifteen-inch guns tiring on her. The barber of St John, eight miles to the east ef 'Bt. Thomas, is 1100 better honor than at : arra fotte, ' and has alma advantages not possessed by the latter. It is Capable of being thoroughly defended with cannon and chains, and In all these harborp; forts of single guns can be built up from height to height in such a winner that the plunging shot Would destroy any yes eel rash enough to approach within range- If it even should be intended to make a great naval depot in the West Indies, St. Thomas offers all the advantages and facilities for making dry docks, coal Oorus, and arsenals, all _under complete pro tection. Great Krim Bey tea natural dock itself, with a depth of four and a half fathoms, and an entrance three hun dred feet in width. It would only require filling up across the mouth, and to be Pumped out, to make a line basin for the large* sized ships. The natural resources of the bland of St. Thomas arenot great, radars. it may be in minerals yet midis covered. In chief.value is as a naval station, and a great com 'lnertial point. Its email size is in its favor, becatese St can't subsist an army of any kind, and an enemy could not land anywhere without the reach of gnus. The whole arcs of the island is only forty-five square miles, the surface rugged and elevated, and almost devoid of trees, which. having been cat down unspar ingly, have lain the bland OPen to the sun, slid caused el scarcity in the supply of water. This deficiency is, however, sulied by tanks which are kept ailed at all sermons by the rains. No doubt water could be obtained by sinking artesian wens. as at INOte. Alfe .- treverar apMip_flosing out of the rocks. Thedistingulehed characteristics of St. Thomas are ste advantages as a place of trade, a fact evinced by the great number and large exteut of the merchants' Istores. the immense piles of merchandise they con tain. and the "amber of vessels of all nations which are lying in the harbor. - It is the great centre of all tbe steam lien that run through the West Indies' and to Europe. and is the stowing place of-oar United instead:net° Brazil. No stronger proof of eta being" central point than this circumstance is needed. A steamer comes in daily, and : in St. Thomas more than IMP other place in the 'West Indies can we know what is going ou In the world. • Nothing can be more delightful than the society of Bt. Thomas. Ilospitable to a fault, all strangers, par ticularly Americans. receive, the greatest idudness and attention. These homitallties are an a scale COED. miensurate with the wealth and importance of the in .habitante. There are few more beautiful prospects than the splendid panoramic view from the blithe*, point in the island, where the whole . town. and bay of St. Thecae are spread out like a map at your feet,and whence yes reels at sea am be seen approaching at a distance of thirty mile. This is in fact the best look-out in the West Indies. Nearly all vessels run for the Ampule plumage in =nine the West /Mlles, and cannot pan without be seen from St. Thomas. The following-named islands are in plain sight from Bt. Their= in all weather: The verdant bland of Santa Cruz, and the large Island of Porto Rico; also the .irmumerable small islands of the Virgin group, which make it an enchanting place to, cruise in. The trade wind blows throughout the year over the 'hills and bay of St. Thomas, although it is rather hot' in the town in midsummer. The summit Is covered with handsome cottagee, where those of the inhab itant!s who can afford it retire for comfort and fresh The tropical shrubs which abound in thk. island are especially beautiful, gigantic cactus and aloe grorring in all the wild freedom of unchecked nature, and everything else luxuriating in the most fantastic con - formations, forming a scene of much' novelty mid beauty;to a stranger. , There is no place where a stranger enjoys himself more than at St. Thomas; and if the 'eland was the property of the United States. it would become a popular mead: The inhabitants have traded with as so long..that.their habits assimilate with ours. They are republican in theft institutions, and would not have to change their 'actual form of government in coming into the Union. Although in fact belonging, o a monarchy, their system is republican. All the officers or the island, except the Governor andpne or two others, are appointed by the home government. It may be well to mention that the in habitants .are meetly colored. but they are extremely well educated. Nearly all the clerks in the stores are cofored. The follouing • I consider the advantages of a naval station in the West Indies: The great difficulty .we have in maintaining, a fleet - of any size in the West Indies is the want of a station of onr own • Were we to have a war with an European power the rule adopted towards us during the rebellion would, no doubt; again be enforced with the same vigor, and we would have to contend, on themost unequal terms, with a powerful antagonist having his naval depot " close at liand, and who could also: in case of damage in a fight, go Into a port provided with means of re pair, while in a similar case, we ehould be obliged to go .North. Any , one can see the disadvantage a government would labor uoder that had to withdraw a fleet-from before a place for the went of provisions and coal,and . there is hardly any place in the - West Indies where a vessel, in time , of war, could lie in r4i thli rr io sea and transfer stores to another vessel, Inc on war like operations a depot is necessary , and ere we have the pick of all the West India islands. The expense of going from the West Indies to one of our ports would be a tremendous item. Lowly nothing of losing the service of a vessel at a time when she would, very likely. be most wanted. If this government do not desire to go to any ex pense, end only - wish the place as a coat depot, there • will be no further outlay. 'We in fact acquire a statton already established. time of war it 'would not be easy to blockade St. Thomas by, any force. No vesselp would be able to Be within g. unshot, nor could they - anchor anywhere in - front of the port close enough to prevent a steamer, or any number of them, from going in and out at aught. There are no intricate channels through which a vessel of ours would have to work her way of a dark aught, but she could run right direct for her port with nothing to stop her. St ..Thomaii, although not the best harbor in the 'West Indica is certainly the most important, the proof of which is in the number of vessels teat go there for repairs and stores; and it is, for the majority •,aofvessel. the meet easily reached. _ There're so many good points in the harbor of St. r Thomas, San Juan, and behind Water Island. Untie . be difficult to decide which• would be the best Vinton which to establish a depot. The,barber of S. Thomas itself is well provided withall the conveniences of wharves, buildings and coal that wmild answer temporarily for naval purposes. Every provision is made for the coaling of large steamers, and in no part 'of the West Indies can ' a vessel be coaled so rapidly as at St. Thomas. This: is not the ease with most of the harbors in the 'West India 'elands. Cuba. Port Rico and one or two ' • , of the. English islands , are the only places where harbors exist. St. Thomas has hitherto been consid4ed one of the Pafeet ports of refuge, against thohe dreadful burgh canes, width, however, ere so erratic in their course, that one island and then another feels the effects of their fury. tit. Thomas has been less visited by hurricanes than other West . India Islande, and the harbor of San Juan is the resort of vessels during the hurricane months as a place of refuge. San Juan, R. Thomas, and behind, Water leland, • rimy almost be considered one harbor: for neither of 'them are much further apart than Jersey City and East River, and are all much safer. . There is some doubt about the health of St. 'Thomas, from the fait that on two occasions t here have been fearful epidemics on the island. This, however. has been entirely owing to the absence of all precautions against two introduction of dieease. Ohio, from all parts of the world seek that -Dort. :Reamers come and go, bringing invalids from infect ed ports , and the sick are landed at the hotels in . St. Thomas without a question being asked as to what is the matter with them or where they caine • The great quantity, of Ilinglish coal landed there of late years has ale° oduced sickness, for,the want of coal sheds over it; and the evaporation 6f the same in that hot climate,..it is said, causes disease. This • would not happen with American coal, OA 40 tit ele t t.litapPier, tat. Thaw lQ m WOW' to OF 'ST. THOMAS. any of the other Islands, and With proper quaraittinei regulations would be conshihred quite a salubrious place.. 1 know that Americans and ,Enropeans, seek it in winter; and there, or at the little Island of Santa Cruz, are soon restored to health. . The outlying islands of the Virgin group are all val uable, in various Nina, and capable of cultivation. San Juan snd St Thomas both produce sugar cane, al though the great commercial position of St. Thomas and the other more easy means of tasking money nave caused all kinds of agricultural pursuits to he neglected. The people have always been our friends. During the rebellion, when all the ports of the French and British West India islands Wero 'closed against ue St. Thomas furnished our -Vessels with supplie3 of all kinds, gave ns information, and turned the cold shoal-. der to the rebel cruisers. They offered the latter nnt. 1 ['chides for preying upon ourcommerce. The United States can Woe direct telegraphic coni =intention with. St. Thomas. Wires could be laid from the Capes of Florida across the shoal water which extends, with sottili interruption, (of:not very' , deep water,) ne far as Tutit's Island. and thence (Wait to St. Thomas. The distance would be somewhat.greater than to Cuba, but, comparatively speaking, it would not be an expensive line, as there would be so, mach shoal water. . . In fine, I think St. Thomas ht_the-keystone to' the arch.of the West Indies. It commands themall. It is of.morolinvortance to us than tp pny one else. and if Europe was at leisure, and its attention not distracted by Its own complications, we would not be allowed to get'tbe island on any!terms. The chances are that we may not get it yet. The people of St. Thomas may prefet their present independent position to being mixed up with our difficulties. Respectfully, &c., DANIS% D.

On motion of Mr, Coanwrx, of O7:e,gon, the tiettate took up the pending bin, introduced by Mr. Edmunds, to raise the value of, legal Mader notes to pew. Mr. Corbett read a lengthy speech in opposition to the bill, and closed by moving to refer it to the Committee on Finance, together with . the bill heretofore intro duced by him to provide for the issue of gold notes to take the place of legal tenders, and to facilitate the resumption of specie payments. The Senate then wd - nt into }Executive session, and soon afterwards adjourned till Monday. Rouse of Representative*. Mr. WOODWAnD, of Pennsylvania, made a grief ar gument on the law of impeachment, arguing that the "mWein&mor,." land. l ln LILA. Constitution, meant not a violation of the law, but misconduct in nitre, knowingly done to the prejudice of the public or of individuals. Mr. GARPUILD, of Ohio, inquired whether, if the President were not defended by sonic law defining what constituted a miedemeatior, he was not at tee mercy of two-thirds of the Senate, Who might declare him guilty of, misdemeanor in office without regard to common law, or common sense/ Mr. Wormw.raro held that every officer of the gov ernment held his- office sabject to the inapeaching power, and remarked that there was much more dan ger of corrupt officials remaininz. unlm peached than there WM s of men who had been faithful in office being impeached. • Ano committee was further addressed by Mr. ELA s of New Ilampshire, in condemnation of the President's course, and by Mr. Kzan, of Indiana, in advocacy of an extension of the judiciary system of the United States, rendered necessary by recent decisions. and by the growth of admiralty cases, and•PartilmisrlY favor of the establishment of another term of the United States courts at New Albany, Indiana, for which he had already introduced a bill, that has been referred to the Judiciary Committee.
