PITIBLICATICINEM BY HENRY WARD . Bssouss.-- Is there a word to be said about .• ember a this day which is not a plain piece of supere-, rogation? We all have seen, listened;to, es timatekthe most public of American speak ers, and there are in our vast community whole nations of individuals who sigh that they ere prevented by unkind geography from piscine themselves under his ,ministry every regular Sabbath. These forty-six hondffes, dictated to vast uudiences in Brooklyn, and faithfully stenogriiphed by Mr. Ellinwoocl, wiil ,be to many a Christian family a plain necessity—the obvious new barrel of flp ir it ual ilour. To the few who have refused to knew much about Mr. Beecher, the many touches of exquisite persuasion which linger to trap the heart in almost any page that may be opened, will be an introduction better than •smyiweeould offer. We merely think best to explain that the political sermons of Mr. Beecher are omitted from this collection'; what remains is the preacher's legitimate ap peal to the inner hehrt of man, placed with of ingenuity tu every kind of alluring form. Ws to the literary character presented by these impromptus after they are hardened into print, there is nothing of crudeness visible - wlia. is not.well re deemed by the precious evidence of life and suddenness in the illustrations and adorn ments. Mr. Beecher, in an interesting per_ sonal paragraph at the beginning,- explains that it has been his habit to rely *Folly on the inspiration of delivery, after preparing notes of the Main subjects tor be treated. Hence the warmth, the direct appeal made by this liVing eloquence to the heart of the hearer or reader. "I. have always been glad," continues• Mr. Beecher, in a touching piece of evide,nee, "thati chose tbe ministry of the Gospel of-Christ as the business of my life. My work has been a joy to me all the way. I cannot conceive of another pie fea sion in which the noble enjoyments - are so many - anti the, drawbacks so few. If, when. I am too old to labor, these sermons shall still be read, it will complete my satisfaction aid extend myjoY and reward down to the very end of my life." This satisfaction will be felt almost as sacredly by the immense com pany of his friends. Is particular sermons which have im.. pressed us and which we think sure to do good wherever their influence may fall, we may mention that on the Divinity of Christ, - with its ringing motto: "Christianity is Chris t —personal influence, not intellectual instruc tion, is its peculiarity; " the Gentleness of God; the Lilies of theTield, aatudy of Spring for the careworn; Martha and Mary, or, Christian Workers and Thinkers; Moth-eaten Garnients; God's Husbandry; • Old Age; the Rich Fool ; and a short but ardent essay on the continued vitality of Christianity in modern times, enti tled" The State of Christianity to-day." Among these fervent sermons, as edited with much ability by Mr. .Lyman Abbott, the casuist may find rhetoric to dispute, the purist de ductions to deny, the dilettante syntax to criticise; but we are convinced—and we gladly give it inasour little contribution to the mountain of comments which Mr. Beecher's career has evoked—that among that class of heaven-born geniuses' who are able to argue without premeditation, hardly any contemporary orator can be found in any country with a style so nearly pure, with a mind so stable.amid the play of its own vi vacity, and with •a heart so fresh, unworn and good. The collection is printed, by Harper and Brothers in two,fine * octavos, with readable type on good white paper, and solidly bound in excellent taste. It will be found on the counters of Mr. ;Pitcher. Te edition of Halleck's too, too feW poet ical writings, as published by Appleton, <forms a luxurious little volume of 386 tinted and cream-laid pages. His friend and literary executor, Gen. James Grant Wilson, has in cluded "a score of poems from various sources; and which are marked by the cha racteristic gr ace and melody of his moat ad mired com positions; also, several translations from the French, German and Italian, that now appear in print for the first time." "The Croakers, " written by Hal leck in conjunction with Joseph Rodman Drake, axe included in the volume, with an interesting prefatory history Of those pleasant satires; three of them are by Halleck. This poet, than whom America has had few to be more proud of, will be brought to the notice of a new and younger world of appreciators by this elegant and timely publication. Many will perhaps discover for the first time that Fitz-Greene Halleck, the man of the world, the punctual business agent of the Astors,was not simply a man who composed one mas terly piece of declamation and then died into finance. Halleck, on the contrary, had many styles, and wrote at many epochs, during an occasional--literary-career of threescore- and three years. °lf he retained often when he might have uttered himself, it was to perfect and polish. The same editor who annotates the poems so valtably and modestly, promises "The Life_ and Letters of Fitz• Greene Halleck,' with a fine steel portrait from Inman's pic ture, and views of the poet's residence and monument at Guildford, Conn. We receive our copy through Claxton, Ifemsen & Haf /clanger. The Globe edition of the poets prepared by Appleton is handsome and handy, combining the aspirates and the aspirations of the scholar. The poenis of John Dryden, with one of his inimitable prose prefaces, are thus presented in the most commodious and taste ful-form imaginable;--the--books are -strong, handsomely coveredi - ofcompanionable size, net too great to admit of a thrust into the pocket at need, and Correctly printed on toned paper.—Sold by Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger. The same New York house are beginninn to collect their favorite tartan-cover pamphlet Vaverleys into very neat and solid volumes, 'composed of four of the novels each: the first volume, for which a very tasteful cloth cover hati been stamped, includes Waverley, Guy ltrannering, Kenilworth and Ivanhoe. Some Steel=plate pictures have been included, and the compact little tome is really a great deal for the' money.—Sold by Claxton, Remsen & jlageldn' ger. —There ere;symptoms of a reaction in Spain. Five hundreAl'and eixteen. ladies of Madrid have presented lux address to the Preildent of,--the Connell, rt.questing the preservation . of the churches' which have been ordered to be Palled 4own,and alto the maintenance of other religious Chameleons. By nothing is •the monotony of life so charmingly relieved as by the ever-changing -giat.eb and - shifting - mental tiula uf-titeltoclut chameleon. The generality of people plod heavily, solidly, hardly through:the ,world, with an epidermis of opinion and taste and interest that remains very much at the• end what it was at the beginning, assuming no diverse hues, tinged by no fanciful variega tion of colors, ever showing the same steady surface of-re d and blue, or, •as •is mostly the case, of pale drab. With such men, if you know that you are going to meet one of them, then you know with perfect certainty the kind of temperament that will confront you, and are prepared accordingly, whether mournfully or joyfully us circumstances may be. Accidental varieties of mood are of course to be counted upon; the Weather; the state of one's business, of one's health, the conduct of somebody near one,'and a hundred other cas ualties, may make all the difference between a man being cheerful or dull, complaisant or churlish. This is the 'Mere contingency of ordinary life. The nature of the chameleon is quite 'different In a'word, it is a nature, and nob,the accidental product of a circura 43tance. \The man who had not the fortune to be born a chameleon can never , make him- self one. Anybody who attempts it as, one way of playing a part will fail as stupidly as the ass who essayed to imitate the gambols of the lapdog . with its.. master. The artificial chameleon disgusts US as much as the real crea ture interests, amuses,-delights and warns us. There is no more likeness between the two than there is between a stuffed song-bird and the vivacity, brightness, agility and' end less music of the same being wheh alive.. In the descriptive portion of the great and mis tier science of mane considered as a social animal, few objects can be more worthy of a place, or are better worth examining and wanderink, at, than the chameleon; There are not very many of, hem. The type is not coinmon. Not every collector in the wide field of human nature is so happy as to pos sess a specimen among , his acquaintaxice, or even to know anybody who does. Perhaps in some respects this is fortunate. It is not quite easy to See what fearful, destiny would overtake a world full of chameleons. One recoils from the Idea, as from a perpetual diet of sugarplums. The distinctive characteristic , orthe hu man -chameleon is his intense and incessant susceptibility to every new atmospheric in fluence in which circumstance places him. Viis open to every intellectual' and moral --impression which chance or design brings to bear upon him. Is he with artists? then he is all aflame with the conviction that political activity is only fit for inferior minds who cannot rise to the far higher sphere of color,form, composition and beauty. Fora,whole week he will- have no talk of literature, science, or public affairs; you shall be artistic,or nothing. The.chances are that he buys a box of paints and an easel, and a piece of' canvas andYligages a master. But, alas! before the first lesson is well over, the chameleon has, by accursed or blissful chance, filled a spare moment by taking up a history of civilization in a dozen volumes, or some equally impressive work. The size of scheme, the writer's gigantic design and colos sal fulflltrient,the glimpse which it gives of the long vista of time and the great procession of the ages, stir his imagination to boiling point. Forni,.color, compositibn, beauty, sink down to the low •depth of frivolous dilettantism, mere idleness with a well-sounding name pinned on to it. The paintbox is huddled into a corner, the master has a peremptory conge, and the easel is speedily laden, not with canvas, but with heavy tomes, atlases, charters, and we know not what besides, that are going to the making of the brief chronicle ..of humanity, the annals of mankind sublimated. The world of the chameleon's friends is on the tiptoe of expectation. Good wishes fall thick around the undertaking; encpuragement flows in on every side.; no stimulus is wanting. Lo, as we gaze and wonder and clap our hands, the scene has already changed. The historic muse is suddenly deposed, and her very im age, like that of the fallen Sejarms,is dragged as with a hook through the mire of a new contumely. The politician has come on the stage, and magically expelled the historian and the philosopher with a fork. Who will grunt and sweat and fardels bear, just to rub a little dust away from the dull pages of the past, when the blank and unimpressed page of the present and the future await his mark? Who will laboriously write history when it is within his hands to make history? Let the dead bury their dead, and the past be past. The chameleon will be no Dryasdust, while the world of misery and oppression lies at his door, crying aloud for the arm of the helper and the voice of the strong deliV erer. And so the game goes merrily on. Ev erything is undertaken, Nothing is accom plished. Each scheme has its little 'day, and then perishes like the fly of a summer after noon. Yet the chameleon has been happy. Life has sat easy on him. His spirit is full of gaiety and buoyancy. Each following taste has brightly chased away the taste that went before; each swift-passing interest left all swept and gracefUlly garnished for the in terest that came after. There is purely, there fore, a bright side to the chameleon's life. Incessant stimulation is indispensable to the peace and comfort of his days; to be without new excitement is to languish and fade; to think and feel and hope and aspire to-day just in the same groove in which you thought and felt and hoped and aspired the day before yesterday, is to suffer asphyxia and perish. Let us eat and drink, skim the whole, surface of knowledge, lightly skirt the whole circle of possible activities, and airily sip a little gum from every flower, for to-morrow we die. And, on the' Chameleon's theory, he who, dying,leaves &single subject untouched, a single sensation missed, a single source of interest unsealed, has lived in vain. For does not life consist in receiving multitudinous and manifold impressions? On the whole, we may reply to the chame leon that life consists in something quite dif ferent from this. The more impressions one receives the better, provided one does some thing to concentrate and give effect* to them. Impression, if the reader will pardon a bit of sententiousness very likely to arrest the chameleon's roving mind, is only valuable as leading directly or indirectly, in one shape or another, to expression. The more interests we cansram into our lives the better, pro vided they come to something either seve rally or collectively. But to •the chameleon, not fruit, but flower and graceful leafage, is the end and sum of growth, and even this is of brief and transitory existence. The plain truth whichneglects is that, in order to ni-ake-what_wonld_otherwise bemerelligitive isapressiorib_ into a . permanent_ whole, it is indispensable that one should have repose, during which they may sink into the mind, take root, and instead of being thin writings in water or on sand, effaced almost as soon as made, become integral, lasting, and fertile parts of character. - But, alas, this idea of shaping character, kneading and welding and fusing all the material that presents itself into the compact, solid, uniform whole, is not possessed by small souls. To seek an im pression, and then to let it pass, is the usual policy of the trifler, and if it be trifling, to,at, tend to anything but the perfecting of • man's own nature, and through that the natures of • those within his iufluence, then perhaps most men in our present stage of existence are triflers. Concentration of impressions, the process the moral chameleon passes superbly over as fit only for poor stay-at home creatures with minds that cannot get off the ground, is the hardest of all the tasks that the man who under- Elands the aims of culture has to set himself —not to be fugitive and effusive, taking in on all sides what will remain exactly five min- THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILUELPHIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20,;1868. rates' and will then vanish into air, • or into that bottomless limbo of, ghosts or thought and flashes of feeling veld t& sioaatttg, nearestpproach to iieharseier — fn so Many of ns. It must be said that;the temper of the times is dead against this great gift of concen tration. The whole air is, laden with etimu lent quality. In every field there' is mo;ve went, in all subjects activity.,, Now views, new theories, new hypotheses, press thick as autumn leaves in science, in poli tics, in the art of conduct, in reli gion. The chameleon -is here in ills dearest element. Every hour •may bring him a new sensation, a different inter est, a fresh stirnulus: If he fails in his never ending chase after onaniseience, at any rate he is well placed for the next best thing excitement on every side of , hie. nature. But what *the sustaining force of thevhameleon' is to steadier heads `the worst of distractions. What is to him so much the more to sip of and peck at •and be impressed by, is to themso , much the more to resist or to take in, so "much the more to , thrust aside or to absorb, and to harmonize thatlay in the mind before. AU this in troduces a new element into the great problem of duty, by introducing new temptations: makes the steadfast possession of oneself so .much the more arduous. But then the cham • eleon has no wish to possess himself, but re tber to be possessed by things from without. Alone he is poor company, bedause' he is act customed to have an external source of ex citement to make him hurry over the world of thought and emotion with ceaseless vivacity, passion and-swiftness. He is one, as Gioethe said of Madame de Stain., "having no notion what duty means, and to what a silent colleuted posture he • that un dertakes it must restrict himself." - We have callee the chamele amusing and interesting. Bri he is; still' e agues too. One cannot follow him his glo cha sings, yet it is one of his most conspicuous Characteristics that he insists on dragging along with him in his *mining flight the plain ruminating man, who would fain move more slowly and assimilate impressions as they pass forward. In such case,- the cha meleon, in, spite of its changing hues, its mil lion fancies its myriads of playful Effilppings hither anethither, Boon becomes the most killing of all bores.--Saturday Review. The Erie In • the 'Courts , Romance is once more clippecihy reality. The fables invented to exemplify splendors acquired by swindling and fortunes made great by fraud, are thrown into the shade by the facts recited in the dryjargon of the law for .tire information of the Supreme Court of this State. England and France have had their speculative bubbles, their gross viola tions of trust, their robbery of confiding stockholders by men high in position, and with riches in abundance. But neither Eng land nor France presents a parallel to the in famies of the Erie Railroad. The story of that corporation as set forth in the complaint of Belmont 4.% Co., and the accompanying affidavit of Daniel Drew, takes precedence over all known knavery. The Newgate Cal ender has nothing like it. That tells of vulgar villains and theirjgnoble fate. if not a re cord of virtue rewclrded, at least it is a chron icle of criffle punished. But this Erie story has characteristics peculiarly its own. It is a story of malfeasance in office, of violated trust, of fraudulent gains and fraudulent mis appropriation of corporate fands by individ uals appointed to protect them; the perpetra tord being all the time, and to this hour, shin ing lights of Wall street—financiers com manding unlimited bank accommodation,free to go and come at pleasure, and with liberty to enjoy the fruits of operations which, when attempted on a small scale, meet a fit reward at Sing Sing. The Erie common stock, lawfully issned,is stated at about sixteen and a half millions of dollars. Unauthorized,and therefore fraudu lent issued, have raised this amount to the Neighborhood of sixty millions ! The defend ants in the proceedings issued before Judge Sutherland are not, however, responsible for the entire increase. About eighteen millions of the unlawful issue occurred under the ad ministration of Mr. Drew, and were the sub ject of a great deal of scandal and, much un profitable indignation last Spring. A com promise was then effected, simply because the State courts were held in check, if not baffled, at every turn. Justice, in fact, was fettered; those whom it should haVe pun ished snapped their fingers in its face; and the holders of Erie common stock, which they bad bought on the hypothesis that the amount outstanding could not, in law,. exceed seven teen millions, were compelled to a4uiesce in a bargain by. which the value of it stock was reduced one-half. The success which attended the manipula tions of Mr. Drew and his friends in that dis graceful contest, may have suggested to their successors in office the unscrupulous trans actions which Mr. Drew himself now desires to reverse. Messrs. Gould, Fisk and Co. had seen fiauduknt over-issues pass unpunished: why should they not repeat the experiment? Their predecessors had perverted their powers and corruptly used their opportunities; what should hinder thew from doing the same? This may or may not have been ttre reasoning of the dashing financiers who, in July last. acquired control of the Erie's affairs. At any rate, they borrowed a leaf out of Mr. Drew's book, and within the last four months have, at different times and by various methods, created additional common stock without a shadow of legal authority and in utter defi ance of the rights, and interests of the proper owners of the property. Five millions were issued on one day, five millions on another, until the aggregate common stock, which, when Mr. Drew reigned, stood at thirty-four millions, has Jun up to sixty millions. It may be a few millions more or less, for the data furnished in the riublished documents are not given as exhaustive. Sixty millions seem, according to,pur figuring, about the total, of which twenty-five or six millions represent the fraudulent over-issues of the present management., Financiers thus reckless in one line of un authorized transactions, are not likely to be Scrupulous in the application of the moneys derived therefrom. The proceeds of the sale of illegal stock should belong to the corpora tion in whose name it is issued. The Execu tive Committee think differently. They invest millions in real estate, which some of them hold in their own names. They use twelve or fifteen millions in locking up greenbacks or gold, with the view of influencing prices on the Stock Exchange: ' They desire to put prices down, and they—with money acquired unlawfully—are enabled to cause a stringency which at one time brought Wall street to the verge of panic. They desire to force prices up, and they unlock their drawers, set afloat gold and paper, and so contrive tto balloon even Erie stock. This latter operation touched the pockets of Mr. Drew, - who, to a certain extent, was hand-in-hand with the operators; and now he is their enemy. Per sonal losses or gains aside, however, this fact is manifest: The recent extraordinary move ments of Wall street, the havoc, played with money, and the gambling which in a single lour has enriched a few and ruined many, have in the main been the work of a combi nation _whose financial capacity for mischief is derived from the exchequer of the Erie Company. The whole matter is - now in the Courts, The speculators have passed into the hands of the lawyers, and a stupendous battle will be the result,. Too many millions are at stake to make it probable that justice will be allowed a free course.'' All the technicalities of law will be brought into requisition to cause delay, to frustrate right and to compel a repetition of the compromise which took place last Spring. It is to be hoped that these attempts will fail, and that sooner or later law redress will be afforded s -_ the gross- wrongs done, as: . well to lbw cokamilift—att_to_thaL„tinfprttinate Athict fide holders of Erie Wick., The question' to be decided, however,hio iimuch'wider op— plication than that suggested _by the proceed ings in progress... Every rail r oad shareholder, is intended in - the result. , For, as the case now stands, the public hitve no protection pgainst frauds and other misdeeds perpetrated in the name of railroad corporations. Their managers claim authority to do with the com pany's property as to themselves seem best. They have the power to beggar shareholders and to enrich themselves, and they insist that this power,may be exercised with impunity. Is the law unable to restrain them? - Is it too weak to punish , them? Are the innocent stockholders, who suffer ' and the suffering pnblic,who are plundered, helpless as against incorporated fraud? These are points sug gested by the. , investigation, and they cannot be neglected without rendering the adminis tration of justice little betterthan a farce.— .N. Y. Times. • ' Farce gut and Grant. The, arrival of Admiral garragut in our waters just in season to witness the new honor. Americahas conferred on the great chieftain presents a marked contrast between the , pre sent and first knowledge Admiral Farragut had of General Grant as an officer. Admiral Farragut was at New Orleans with his fleet. The British and French Consuls called on him for permission to go up the river. They wanted, of course, to communicate with the rebels. Those oillicials promised the'Admiral that thei would communicate nothing they saw at ew Orleans in connection with the. Federal Te. The. Admiral not only , gave them per isuiion to go but to tell everything they saw., "Tell the rebels," said the Admi ral, "that I am coming through as soon as the general at the other end is ready for me." The officials returned in about two weeks. They% were very mysterious for a while—pretended to have great things to communicate—didn't know whether it would be .a breach of confidence to tell the Admiral or not He informed them that he did not care anything about their information, that he know quite as,Much about the state of affairs as they, did. But they assured him that it 'was all up with the Federal. Government; that they had -testi mony in their hands to show the rebels would be successful. The British Consul, whose sympathy' with the rebel cause was undis guised, presented to the Admiral a paper which he had obtained within the rebel lines, the chief item of which lampooned the coin mender of the Federal forces, whose "name was said to be Grant." It was a new name to Farragut. He was anxious to know something about the gentleman with whom he was to act so Important a Nst. He put the. Consuls under a cross-examination. He learned that the new Commander was a plain, quiet, unpretending man—dressed like a teamster—silent as William of Orange— smoked like a locomotive—either didn't know anything, or wouldn't tell—around nights looking after everything with his own eye— never raising his voice above a low tone—in a marvellous way making everybody obe dient to his will—evidently dogged and obsti nate, and exceedingly opinionated. At the close of the interview, Admiral Farragut said: "From your description of Gen. Grant I think he will do," and he did. Times have changed some since then, and it is probable that these two officers will be more intimate in the four years that are to come. IN ItEGARD to Prince Salm•Salm's new book, says the Elberfeld Gazette: "In the course of a few weeks there will be issued a book, which will throw much light upon many facts concerning the foundation and overthrow of the Mexican Empire. This is the diary of Prince Salm-Salm, who, it is well known, remained faithful to the Emperor Maximilian to the last. As a proof of the confidence which he reposed in Salm-Salm,the Emperor Maximiliarobad bequeathed to the latter, in his last will, the right of ownership to all his papers kept at Miramar, among which, the Emperor believed, would be found, also, all the documents which the Empress Carlotta had taken with her to Europe, and the Em peror had coupled with this bequest,,the wish that the Prince should write, on the ground of these documents, a history of the Mexi can Empire, and of the negotiations which preceded the acceptance of the crown on the part of the Archduke. Prince SalgpSalrn learned only after his arrival in Europe of this clause of the will, which had been suppressed at the publication of that in teresting document. So he applied to the Imperial Chancellor of Vienna with the in quiry if the will really contained such a clause, and coupled with it the request, if it was true, to let him have the papers in ques tion. The reply was that the will did contain such a clause, but that the Emperor Francis Joseph, as head of his family, had forbidden its publication. He might see from this measure that the Emperor was not willing to let him have the papers. Balm-Balm thinks that at Miramar are only the papers relating to the preliminary negotiations; but the Em press Carlotta delivered to the Pope all im portant papers concerning subsequent events. Whether these papers will ever see the light of publicity remains to be seen. Prince Salm-Salm says that it shall be the task of his life to fulfill the wish of his imperial friend." TILE FINE AR.I%.

He, already a good shot, he to damnation add greater than that." repaired to Natchez, and spent there six I months, his chief employment being practice , witha pistol. Returning to Nashville, Dick erson despatched one of his - friends to Jackson, with a letter extremely abusive of the General, and re flecting on the virtue of his beloved wife. The messengertitated that if the General would.not reply with a challenge the letter would be published in the newspapers. The challenge was sent. CoL Archibald Overton, who was abrotiker to the relator of those particulars, andAsho at that time studied law m Jackson's office, saw the letter of instruc tion given to, the General's second, Gen. T. •Overton. It concludes in these words: "Ac cept no apology; nothing . but his bloat' will satisfy me." Time and , place were appointed, and the affair, it seems, was well known in Nashville; for, among other facts to give it publicity, Dickerson offered $5OO as a bet thEit he would kill his antagonist. Jackson's family had no 'knowledge whatever of the affair. On the appointed day, Gene. Jackson and Overton, without saying a word oi creating any imp' - cion about the aim of their journey, started for the rendezvous. Dickerson and his second, Dr. Cattal, were not on the ground, and they waited a considerable time before they arrived. Gen. Overton, who was as imperi ous as Ciesar,_and as stormy as a tempest, walked up to receive them "Gentlemen,why 411 d you let us wait so long;or is it your mad men to let old men; waitfor young ones?" His policy was to confuse Dickerson, but he could not succeed. "Diekerson was one of the bravest of men, and his handling of the pistol the most skillful I have ever seen," were the words of General Overton, which assertion, coming from one who passed through the seven years of the Revolution without a furlough, and who, on account of the unjust attabk upon his friend, forever hated the man, goes far to establish the un questionable bravery of , Jackson's opponent. The next policy of General Overton was to gain the power of giving the word, arid the third to extract Dickerson's first fire. To guard against General Jackson's firing too SOW it was agreed , that his double-spring pis tol should not be sprung. General Overton threw up—who, according to his own acknowledpient * could at plea sure turn up head or tail. The lot of giving command naturally fell upon him, and he or dered the two antagonists to their respective pegs. The terms were : "To stand with hands dosvarand arms close to the body until the word fire." While in expectation for the word, General Overton saw, or im agined that Dickerson,who seemed very anx ious to fire moved his right arm, whereupon he steppe d to him, took hold of both his arms, and in a stentorian voice, exclaimed: "Mr. Dickerson, keep your arms still, sir,and remember the terms of the deed!" Then he quickly gave the word. Dickerson fired, and (lezi. Overton knew that principal was wounded, because he saw ;he dust fly from his coat. Jackson, after aiming, instantly cried out: "General,l cannot spring my pis tol!" Whereupon the latter, more vehement than ever, turned upon him with, "Spring your trigger!" Jackson did so, and Dicker son was shot dead. Many years after Dr. Overton asked his uncle, Gen. Overton, whether Dickerson really moved his aim, or he only imagined it moved? The old man, upon his word of honor, declared that he could not tell. "And why did you use such language toward Gen. Jackson?" The answer of the old soldier was that, according to personal experience, a wounded man does not for a few second§ feel rids hurt so much as to disable him to master Ihui actions, but if these few seconds pass by, the chance of retaliation is over. He wanted, with his storming, to awaken all Jackson's energies. A few years before General Jackson's death, Dr. Overton happened to ride with him in his buggy from Tyree Springs to Nashville. On the road they were convers ing about this duel with Dickerson, and the old hero uncovered his bosom to show the wound received in the encounter. "Why, General, it seems to me you must have stood very badly to receive such a wound," re marked the doctor. The old man became si lent, and did not recur any more to the sub ject THE DIIELLO. No Derby in. 1869. [From the London Telegraph..] "I believe it because it is impossible," wrote a defiant disputant of old; and it is only on that principle that we can give any credenet to the terrible report that there will be "no Derby next year." We feel what a shock it must be to every well-regulated mind even to read these words; and we should be loth to circulate such peculiarly painful Intelligence, had not a sporting con temporary already broken the news. - It is asserted that the part of the Derby course which extends from Tottenham Corner to the furzes, is now the property of a Mr. , Studd; that he demands a thousand a year for it, instead of the three hundred a year claimed by the former owner; that the Grand Stand Committee rejected the demand, believing that they could make a new course; that they now find out they cannot; and that Mr. Studd, incensed at the quarrel, declares that "no matter what terms they offer," there shall be no racing on his ground& As most people know, the en tries • for the Derby are made long before the .event, and,the conditions precisely specify the very course. which is now Mr. Studd's pro perty; the race could not be run elsewhere; .and all the arrangements for the Derby of 1869 would be null and void—entries,' bets and all—should the land-owner refuse to give - way. In fact, there could be no Derby next year. But, as we have said, the thing is impossible. As Mr. Pickwick re marked, when ho and his friends were forced to lead about the - country a raw boned white horse: "This is like a horrible -dream." * * * * * * * Let us suppose,nn next "Derby" day, Studd, In a brown study, alone, -rejoicing over his decision::Epsom silent and deserted; and then companion picture, the people of Eng land in anger and in gloom! We do not be lieve in the being who could face such a fact —"There's no such,man." CO - uld'he calmly 'lay his head on his pillow," like a juryman, and hear in fancy the chorus of condemnation from the , enraged Britons cheated out of their day? Could he. unmoved, see in his mind's eye the. tears that trickle down the lovely cheeks of those deprived of ,that "little trip" which they had been promised so long? Could he face, unflinchingly; •the pos sibility of a deputation of costermongers, coming to hear what he had to say, in extenu ation of his unprecedented crime? But we have no fear that extra legal means will be neces sary.. After all,Studd must be, most'probably is,human. Children have climbed his knees— at least we hope so; he has "sat at godd men's feasts;" he may have had his troubles like the rest of us, but they • cannot have al together soured his disposition. • The Grand Stand Committee may have offended him; but what crime have we—the people of Eng land—committed, that he should hate us , A LEXANDER DUMAS says In one of, his re cent articles in the fruilleton of the Petite Prase: "The public has often been guilty of the, to me, flattering impertinence of display ing a great deal of curiosity in regard to the affairs of the heart in which I was concerned. Ladies with whom I was but very superfi cially acquainted. became, 'in consequence, the cynosures of millions of eyes. strange t 6 say, no one has ever known or 'written anything about the girl who at first kindled tender emotions in, my heart. I was at that time but nineteen yeare old, but most despe ratefy in love. With whom? Ah, with the 'daughter of my next door neighbor, a bour geois who had recently cciine from Marseilles to Paris. He had established a little fruit store, where young Adele, a dark-eyed and dark haired beauty of sixteen, sold lemons and or anges: She must have wondered at my fond ness for oranges, figs, &c., _for all my spare change, was invariably spent at her father's store. I knew when she was there alone,and her familiar greeting, 'Bon jour, Da= mas,' accompanied with a little nod, of -the head and a kindglance, never failed to throw me into ecstasies of Might. I thought no young girl was like her, and once when she happened to touch my hand, I felt like the happiest of Mortals. The idea that`, she might one day become Madame Alexander Dumas filled me' with indescribable bliss. Alati ! one morning I was told' that'she was engaged, , ,to a neighbor, a sign-painter, a fel low with a big moustache,. who henceforth begame in my e3res the, embodiment of all that is vile, contemptible and hateful. He did marry irtamorata, and few daysof my life were more full of wretch edness and despair than her wedding-day. I had written two dozen love-songs abbut her; some of them were not so bad; but flung them with an imprecation into the thee-while Adele and her bridegroom were at the Mairie. . Perhaps she never knew how passionately I was in love with her; for, to my extreme dis gust, I saw that she lived very happily with her husband; and a year afterward, when I happened to pass by her father's store, she hailed me, and, with the most innocent air 1 , in the world, showed me her litt'e baby, ask / ing me naively if I did notthinkk that it was a fine-lookingboy,and that it looked very ranch like her husband! That question cut me to the quick. I then extended my hatred from- the lather to his infant son, and I did not forgive the pretty little mother for long weeks after / ward for tormenting me, unwittingly, so I ; cruelly? Ten'years afterward - I met her I again. She was very poor; her husband had become a drunkard. It afforded me the greatest pleasure to render her some services. // procured her a place as bar-woman at the Odeon. She had grown prematurely old,. as Provencales will do, unless they are very hap py and treated with extreme tenderness. She may 'be alive yet for aught I know. Without being aware of it, she played a great role in my early life." A DEAD 3.1. A.&• BEFORE AN ARK ...Is:I3AS COVET. —An Arkansas correspondent of the.. New Orleans Picayune tells the following story of the rigid manner in which justice is meted out to men- in that, region: Some years ago a man without a family or relations lived in a county in this State, and was possessed of an estate worth $5,000. He went to' New Or leans and was absent for years without being heard froni. The Probate Judge gran ,, -,s administration upon his estate, wound it up, and discharged the administrator. The man at length returned. He had been to Mexico. He applied to the Judge for his property, when in open court the following dialogue took place: Dead man—"lf your Honor please, I want my effects returned to nie,-as, you see lam not dead yet." The Court—"P know—that is, I, as a man, know that you are alive and in court; but as a Court I know you are dead, for the records of the court say so, and against . their verity there is no aver ment. So says Lord Coke and a good many other books I. never read." Dead man—" But I want my property, and it's no matter to me whether your records lie or not. lam alive, have not transferred my property, and to de prive me of it without my consent is without all law." The Court—"lf you insinuate that the records of this court lie, the Co art will send you to jail." Dead man—" Send a dead man to jail ?" The Court—" Mr. Sheriff, take this apparition out." Sheriff "Be thou ghost or goblin damned, I'll speak to thee. Come on, let's go take something to drink." The Judge stuck to it that, so far as his court was concerned, he was dead, and he should stay dead. The poor fellow went into chancery-and spent all he made in Mex ico.

Full Particulars of the Loss of the Star of the Union. HAVANA, Nov. I.9.—Ferther particulars of the wreck of the steamer Star of the Union have been received. She ran on Morello reef, about a mile from the shore, at 6.30 P. M. on, Friday. The captain says in his report that it was raining very hard, and that he was on that account de ceived by the current. He saw a light on shore which he took for the one at Bahia Honda. The steamer Iles where she struck, witicher back broken. The cargo will be saved in a da msged condition if the sea remains calm. The hull and machinery will be a total loss. There was a very heavy sea with breakers when the ship struck. A boat which was put out was cap sized bythe surf While attempting to land, and two persons, a Mr. Clark, of San Francisco, and George Johnson, of Philadelphia, passengers, were drowned. Their bodies have not yet been recovered. The American war-steamer Penobscot, which was in the port went promptly to the assistance of the Star of the Union, and Lersundi ordered the Spanish man-of-war steamer Francisco D'Assia to the same place. These vessels offered every assistance possible, and returned here to-day with the particulars above given. The bark Anna was also wrecked on Friday night - on the. Col orado reefs 'The captain, his• wife and child and all the crew were saved. The Women's Rights Con / ventions BOSTON, Nov, , 19.
