A clipped paragraph, which passed into Thursday’s paper without editorial supervi rion, stated, that General Spinner, of the U- S. Treasury Department, had received a model 1 of the proposed Grant statue for the Portico of that Department, and that the model was by a Boston artist. Thafigure in question was by B&illy, the sculptor of the gmnklin and "Washington in thiß city. We have seen it, and believe it well adapted, by itsartlstlc merits, to attract subscribers to the proposed figure. It is a spirited portrait, mounted on a horse whose beauty, we be lieve, would satisfy the critical President himself. —"Yesterday (says an artistic correspond ent of the Athe.Tuv.wni) I had the privilege of •wandering through a Treasury of Art in a room which is not open to visitors. Here lie ■objects so beautiful and precious that they •would of themselves form a valuable mu seum, but which under the old management ■were not arranged, and were even half hid den away. There are many articles of By aantine art, crosses and episcopal crooks, and crucifixes, in which the eyes or oar Saviour are represented as open, whilst the feet, not crossed, rest both on the sous-pied. Not to enumerate objects which, make one's mouth water, I will speak more particularly of one which interested me as an Englishman. It m our ‘lost king.’ To explain myself, how ever, it is one of the Kings of Chess, which is missing from the well known ivory set, I believe, in the British Museum. Tne carving is rude, perhaps of the eleventh century, and his Majesty, a podgy little man, sits embedded in his chair, which is of the old Gothic form, not high-backed, but cut round, so as completely to embrace the body. The expression of the face is that of age, as is the case with all works of an early period. On the royal head is a crown; the body dress or tunic fits close up to the neck; whilßi over all is thrown a royal mantle which envelopes the whole body, and was in tended to envelope the chair, the arms of which will peep through. From between the kneeß rises a pine, which may assist our an tiquaries in determining the ‘belonging’ of thia curious piece. By the Directors of the Museum it is positively asserted to be the lost king of a set of chessmen in the British Museum: on what evidence I do not know, Btill it mußt be strong to justify so positive an assertion. Assuming it to be so, it will be of great importance to us to obtain it. “From this room, so full of the debris of Ike past, now being arranged to decorate other parts of the Museum, I passed to the gala appropriated to pictures of the Scuola MapoUtana. There is a mighty change ef fected in this room. On one side of it, and standing nearly the whole length of the Bala, the beautiful Armadio, of which I have al ready spoken, has been placed. You will remember that it was found, about a year ago, in the Monastery of Agostini Bcalzi, where it existed useless and unappreciated. Yet, as a piece of carviDg, it is beyond all price. The wood is of nut, and was carved m the fifteenth century by a Franciscan friar, who passed twelve years on the work. Here is represented the whole life of St. Francis to the hour of his death, and it is difficult to know which to admire most, whether the persevering labor of the worthy friar or the mastership of the artist." —Polychrome in Classic Architecture —We find that Dr. LUbke’s “Antiquities of Art” have been east into a people's edition, and that German Ecclesiastical Art of the Middle Ayes had reached, two years since, in amplified form, a “fifth edition.” This shows the plodding industry of the German mind in learning all that can be technically learned about the scienco of taßte. The English and Americans have hardly auy works of criticism that are not rhapsodies, and would not read them if thev had.

Nicolai di Tolentino, The type is that of the wounded Amazons, or which two copies are extant,one in the Vati can, the other in the Capitoline Museum. That now found, though resembling the Vati can one more closely, is in the unanimous opinion of the archaeologists and sculptors of Rome far superior to botn in conception and execution. It is altogether pronounced to be the finest statue that has come to light In Italy within the last thirty years. It isabout eight feet high, and quite perfect, with the exception of a few slight deficiencies ih the feet and hands, about the proper restoration of which there is, in the presence of the two replicas, not the slightest difficulty. It was sold to the Berlin authorities for 16,600 francs. Two magnificent antiques have been dug up in the excavations at Ostia—one a bronze statue of Venuß, about four feet in height; the other a marble figure of Hermaphrodites. Both • images being nude, the Pope will not admit theta in the museum of the Vatican, but they will be shown in a less public resort The antique treasure-trove of Hildesheim continues to furnish columns of detail and speculation for the Continental journals, which aie duly expanded in our own. The most magnificent work appears to be the cup with the Minerva; the gilding upon it covers her garments and arms, while it leaves the flesh untouched in clear silver hue. The right arm rests upon a mysterious imple ment, which has not yet been satisfactorily explained. We are promised most elaborate illustrations by Professor Wieseler in this year’s Winckelmann Programme, the appearance of which, it it is said, has been delayed for this reason. —Some of the sculptures brought from lonia and the neighboring provinces of Asia Minor, by Mr. Newton, are now in course of &rr&Dg6Di6Dt in the Bfitish Museum. The alto-reliefs from the mausoleum at Hali carnassus are being placed in a line, like the frieze of the Parthenon. We bear of sad spoliation amongst the relics of old Paris. A considerable quantity of carved wood has been sold as firewood, which, on examination, proved to have deco rated the old reading-room in the Biblio thfique Imperiale, supposed to have been de signed and carved for the great Colbert. The carvings were voted by competent judges to be among the finest productions of the reign of Louis XIV. PERSONAL REMINISCENCES OF SULLY AND LESLIE. By Jobu Neal> THOMAS BTJL.LT. He, too, was English by birth, but, in his character, manners, appearance, and style of painting, he was the very opposite of Jarvis. Wanting breadth and strength, but being re fined, sensitive, courteous and gentlemanly, he threw bis own coaracter into all his pic tures, and came to be the Sir Thomas Law rence of America. Wanting the robust hear tiness, and the rich, unctuous humor of Jar- vis, tie had a sense of beauty, a perception of the graceful and bewitching—of that which give? a high-bred woman dominion over man —of which Jarvis was wholly destitute. Hence the women of Bully, like the men o Stuart and Jarvis, were generally master pieces. Of a slight frame, a kindly temper and a pleasant voice, looking, at the age ol Aliy as if he were still a young man, likt Leigh Hunt; with an air of high breeding which could not be well counterfeited, Mr. Sully has always been a favorite with tto better part of mankind —the women of his day. His female portraitures are often times poems,—full of grace and tenderness, lithe, flexible and emotional; their eyes, too, are liquid enough and clear enough tu satisfy even a husband —or a lover. Nobody ever painted more beautiful eyes, —not even Gainsborough, nor Sir Thos. Lawrence, nor West, the Kentuckian, who, after his return to New York, painted thesc cairn- gorms and crystal wells, just as we see them in our young dreams, while yet over charged with poetry, and the blood goes “a rippling to the finger ends.” But Bully's men were failures: even Mr. Patterson, the father of Madame Jerome Bonaparte, with his fine classical head of the Roman tye, though an excellent likeness of the outward man, was but a Bhadow in comparison with what Jarvis or Stuart would have made of the subject, while his portrait of Mrs. Robert Gilmore would be enough to establish his reputation as a devout and earnest woman-worshipper. Bully used to play the flute like a master, and may do so yet, although when I last heard from him he did not happen to say so, while speaking of his pastimes; and he con tinues, I dare say, what Is called a ladies' man, —by which we are not to- understand that he ever was a coxcomb, or effeminate, or intensely fashionable; but that, by nature, he was made for the companionship of lova ble women, being always gentle, considerate and reverential to the sex. He never attempted an historical picture but onoe, and that only to give away. Hav ing been called upon for a full length of Washington by the corporation of a Southern city—Charleston, perhaps —he fixed the price —not more than five hundred dollars, I be lieve—and then, the treatment being left wholly to himself, he painted him on horse back, with srimmingB of accessories, and gave to the world what he called a portrait, while others who saw the truth more clearly, called it a remarkably flue historical picture, —the “Paßßage of the Delaware,” with Gen eral Knox, and a corps of artillery shouting and tugging at the guns. The white horse on which he had mounted Washington was so emphatic and spirited, that, when I first saw Vandyek’s William of Orange at Warwick Castle, I thought he had borrowed largely from that; and so I dropped him a line on the subject, to which he replied by sending me a sketch of his battle-charger and the majestic rider, and showed that I was altogether mistaken as to the position, drawing hnd character. After a triumphant career of twenty-five or thirty years, Mr. Sully had realized, as we say Down-East, a handsome property,which he invested in Pennsylvania bonds,- or some thing of the sort, and, like Bidney Smith and. the Austins, lost the whole, or nearly the whole, of his life-long accumulations and hoarded savings. But, uudiscouraged, and full of heroic resolution, he set to work afresh, and built himself a largo painting-! room, and began life anew for the Becond or third time, with a large I family,; iitJbn hiß handstand hardly,a |hot in theJocfcer. _ c%. pl&S'dne 1 time, while I im'tbmbMV&y* rife ko say that he had .oft^PPB 08 ' tionflvbut no orders; andean hbiadfenjlong in the habit of making f»t§dibSi in Wackand white hrayons, whenever;ilitjTbject offerel«the good people of Philadelphia;,, his patrons, seemed to think that suchvietf e, being only sketches, you know, were but a pleasant pas time for the artist, and,hardly..worth acknow ledging. He once made three or four studies of a charming female face for the fatnilyand friends, or mayhap the husband, to choose ■from, and chancing to be near the window, after having waited several? flays, for the an swer, his attehtion was attracted by a negro coming round the next corner with a handful of papers fluttering in thevvind. He began to have his misgivings, and after a few min utes the sketches were, left jus his door, with out a word of explanation -or apology; and that was the last he heard of the order. Moved with a just indignation, I slipped a Daraeraph into the next -Bltzckwood, telling the Btorv, as I teU it how, I-stipposei, though lam not sure, and have no time to verily the detailß; and the effect upon the brother hood of ‘-Athenians,’’! have reason to be lieve, waß quite a help to Bully, for they grew aßhamed of their own hearUessness, and he was soon overrun with applications, which have continued from that aay to this, at handsome prices, notwithstanding his great age, and the multiplication of portrait painters and “damnable face-makers,” not one in fifty of whom could draw a hand if his life depended on it. Mr: Bully is a capital draughtsman, and has seldom or never made a mistake in face or figure. .One habit he had, well worthy of being commemorated. Instead of drawing the whole figure when he blocked out the lace, or determining the atti tude, he finished the face firs t,and then threw forward a shoulder, after the manner of Van dyck, whereby he obtained a lifelike, spirited air, oftentimes wholly unexpected. day on his return from the Exhibition, white with rage. He bad painted the portrait of a military man of high rank; and, having a horror of the costume that goes out of fashion every two or three years, and of all your close-fitting garments, like that which Ueorge IY. used to have stretched upon his back, he painted the coat aB much like drapery as it would bear. The picture was np in Bomer set House, and one day Bully found a very substantial, well- dressed man of middle age and portly presence standing before it with an expression that startled him. “Mr. Bal ly ” said he,—for it seems he knew Sully by sight, and had seen the picture before it was finished, —“Mr. Bully, sir, allow me to say that lam sorry to see that picture here. “Ah'” said Bully, “and why so?” “Why so? my good Bir, can you ask why so? Just look at that coat. 1 ’ “ Well, sir, and what of that coat?” “Why, Mr. Bully, every man that Bees that picture will naturally ask who made that coat?” “Well, sir, and what then?” sain Bully “What then! well, sir, I made that coat." He was the Duke of York’s tailor, and just the man to satisfy tbe “fat friend above mentioned, after he had begun plump ing up, till he was ready to burst, and was still in favor with tbe Marchioness of Conyng ham, and others of the “fat, fair, and forty ” ;ype, c. R. LESLIE, E* A* I found him tall, stiff and taciturn, with the air of a country schoolmaster, and a serious, though inquisitive look, deep, clear eyes, and tho general bearing, not certainly of a fash ionable man, or a man of the world on good terms with himself, and everywhere at ease, butofamanto be trusted and believed in. After a long and free conversation about mat ters and things in general, and authors and painters in particular, and his friend Wash ington Irvine, whose portrait he had painted for love not long before, —a commonplace affair and a bad likeness,—he offered to Becure me the lodgings which had been oc cupied by Irving while the Sketch-Book was under way, in Warwick Btreet, Pall Mall, commonly called Cockspur street by all save members of Parliament and lodging-house keepers; which offer I accepted, of course, with many thanks. Next,having asked what exercise I was fond of, and what I thought of the small-sword, for an artist or sedentary man, and being told that with me fencing had long been a passion, and that I looked upon it as a sort of chess for the body, he invited me to Angelo's rooms, where he went occasionally ;and then he proposed to take me to the National Gallery, which wa9 in full blast at the time. We went to Angelo’s on what might well be regarded as a field day, fcr the large hall waß crowded with amateurß and others who seemed to be taking lessons of one another. After introducing me to the elder Angelo, he lost no time in equipping himself and enter ing the lists, interchanging a few passes with his teacher, but I must say, though unwil lingly, that be was a wretched player; being there only for exercise, and not knowing, perhaps, that he might as well fence with the broadside of his painting room, a 9 to lurrge out in the way he did, without an object in view, or feeling the excitement which comes of playing loose. Fencing I regarded as comprehending in itself all the advantages of dancing, riding, 1 swimming, and sparring; small-sword fencing, I mean, —for the broad-sword, like the lance drill, whether on horseback or afoot, requires too large an outlay of strength for a delicate band, which has been trained to deceive or tromper I'epee, and I told him so; but he only smiled, as if it were a waste ol time to get much in earnest on the subject, with or without an adversary. Not loDg after this,we went to the National Galleiy together. Soon after entering, he called my attention to a crowd collected be-] fore a Christ in the Garden, by Correggio. I had always wanted to look upon something —anything, indeed—of Correggio’s, and we; moved np to the corner where it was hung.i “And this you call a Correggio,” said I, after examining it carefully,and studying the com position. The figure of Christ, about six | inches bigb, was meagre and unsatisfactory,, the landscape gloomy enough to pass for a Poussin, and the picture itself a decided fail ure, no matter by whom painted. (On second; thought it may have been Christ at the Well, though I remember nothing of the Samaritan woman.) ‘•Yes, a veritable Correggio,” said; Leslie. “How do you like it?” “Not at all; in fact, excuse me, but I don’t believe it was ever painted by Correggio.” By far the best portrait ever painted by Leslie was that copy of Sir Thomas Law rence's “West,” now in the Philadelphia Academy. There we find, far the first and only time, what appears to be an eye for color, and the picture ol itself might almost rank with Titian's; but then it was only a copy, and, of course, the coloring might b copied,as well as the composition. —Atlantic Monthly.

He referred to the Judiciaryact of. 1788 j that either of the Justices of tho Supremo Court shall have power to grant the writ or habeas cor pus, "for the purpose of inquiring intotheoause of commitment” fn all cases where the party is ta custody under or by color of authority of the United Btates, or is committed *° r . somo court, or is necessary to be brought into conrt to testify: and one of its sections provides that for anycrime against the United r Statea, anv jastlce or judge of the United States may arrest, I imprison or ball the offender. , . I The power to ball necessarily Includes the power to issue the writ of habeas corpus, and both npon principle and authority. Tho power conferred on any one justice may bo exercised by all when sit ting ae a court. What counsel main tain is this: That U was competent to Congress to have granted tne appeal or writ of error as well In criminal as In civil ca6eß, and that In the former claes they may have included appeal or writ of error from military tribunals. Mr. Phil lips quoted the McArdle and other oases In sup port of bis argument, and concluded by saying If the court had tho power to grant the writ, where a parly was In confinement by the military au thoritiis, by virtue of the act of 1789, that power is wholly tho part of the UDited States, maintaining that the Supreme Court can grant a writ of habeas corpus subsieindum only, in the exercise of its ap pellate jurisdiction, and by means of such writ can revise the proceedings of those tribunals over wbicb, and in respect to which, It has appellate control and authority. Tho court cannot exer ci6e any appellate control by appeal, writ of er ror or'apy other proceedings over the military commission, by virtue of whose sentence the pe titioner b are imprisoned; nor has the court power, in any form, or by any procedure, to revlao the proceedings of that commission in the case of the petitioners. The conrt is not bound to issue a writ of habeas corpus on application, daring term lime, bnt tbe allowance of ibe writ by court rests in its discretion. .

VOLTAIRE’S DEATH-BED. tier eating literary Discovery by an American Consul. Oar Consul at Moscow, Mr. Sehuyler, has been able to render an important service to the secret history of literature; we find in our zetle, an inedited account, just discovered by him, of the final sufferings of Voltaire. Bays the latter journal: A new document has just been published at Paris, bearing on one of the most con tested subjects in literary history—the death of Voltaire. In the Journal des Debat* of Saturday last, M. H. Taiae, the author of the •“Hlatoire de la Litteratore Anglalse,” has .given to the world a new and contemporary account of the death of the great Frenchman. This account was forwarded to M. Taine by Mr. Schuyler, the American Consul at Mob cow, who discovered it among the Russian archives. It was originally sent by Prince Ivan Bariantmsky, the Russian Ambassador at Paris at the time of Voltaire’s death, to the Empress Catharine IL The Ambassador says: “Knowing that your Imperial Majesty taxes a deep interest in all that concerns this great man, I have had prepared for your Ma - Jesty tbo following account of the death of Voltaire, by one of my friends who was well acquainted with all the details.” The narra tive Is not signed; from internal evidence, M. Taine judges it to have been written by a doctor, **At all events,” he says, “it is per fectly authentic and of great interest” The Whole account is a loDg one, and fills more than three columns of the Debats, and we can only give here a few extracts which ap pear to throw new light on the circumstances attending Voltaire’s death. We omit the first part of the despatch, in which the writer elates what was already known, viz.: that Voltaire hastened Ids death by an overdose of opium which he took to alleviate the violent pains brought on by his abuse of coffee. The most important part of the new account is that relating to the last moments of Voltaire, and the difficulties with which his burial was attended. Voltaire, as we know already, bad, at the desire of his relatives, who were anxious that he should have a’ Christian burial, confessed himself and made a sort ol recantation, said to have been in the following terms by the Russian despatch; “I, the undersigned, certify and protest that I die in the Catholic, Roman and Apostolical Church. If it has happened that I have caused a scandal, by my works, to the Church and to religion, I ask Qod’s pardon for it, hoping that in his goodness he will vouchsafe to pardon my faults.” Nothing could well be more vague; there is no word of belief nor even a denial of his errors, and it is no wonder the priests were bat half satis fied. On Saturday, the 30th of May, 1778,a1l hope of . his recovery being abandoned, Vol taire’s nephew, the Abbe Mignot, sent for the cure of Saint Sol pice (the parish in which Voltaire lay dying) and for Abbe Gautier, to whom the aforesaid confession had been made two months before. We continue in the words of the new account: ■'‘These two priests came to M. de Vol taire's house; he was then in a state of lan guor, exhaustion, and stupor, quite frightful. He was, too, extremely weak from pain and from the want of nourishment, his stomach being no longer- able to retain any food. When the two priests entered M. de Vol taire’s chamber, they found there M. , and M. , both of them friends of M. de Voltaire. These gentlemen asked the cure if their presence woald be objectionable (de trop) at so sad a time. The cure replied no. Then the arrival of the cure was announced toM, . de.Voltaire. The first time he ap peared not to have heard. On being told a second time, he replied, ‘Tell him 1 respect him,’ and he passed his arm round the cure, to mark his attachment Then the cure came nearer to the bed, and, after having spoken of God, of death, and of the sick man’s ap proaching end,'- he asked in a pretty loud voice ((Pune voix ansez haute), ‘Monsieur, dd you recognize the divinity of Jesus •Christ ?’ Thereupon M. de Voltaire seemed to'collect all hiß strength, made an effort to -sit' up, quitted brusquely the cure, whom he had held almost in his embrace,and using the same arm' he had thrown round the cures neck, he made a gesture of anger, and, appearing to repulse the fanatical [?] priest, he said, in a strong marked voice,‘Let me die in peace,’ -and at once turned his back on the cure. The latter, turning to those present, said with a readiness which no one would have expected from one whose head was so strangely troubledby superstition [?], ‘Gentlemen, you see he is not in his right mind (qu'il n'apaa ■aa tele).' He asked for pen and paper, and wrote a permission to carry the body of M. de Voltaire wherever it might be desired, and in the same writing declared that he 'aban doned'it,. [M. Taine explains in a note that by the iiße of this term he meant to deprive it of all rights of Christian burial.] The A.b -b6 Gautier, the confessor of M. de Voltaire, signed a sort of cerlicafite, of confession, and the two priests retired. This took place between six-and seven in the evening. Boon after M. de Voltaire called for one ot his old servants, took him by the hand, and wished him good-bye, and added, in a very distinct voice, 'Take care of Mamma (iio was accus tomed to call Mdme. Denys, his niece, by this name). These were the last words he ut - tered. He died the same night at a quarter to eleven o’elock amidst the tears and sincere regrets of all his friends.” His body, after being.embalmed, was car ried to the abbey of Celliores, of which M. Mignot, bis nephew, was then abbot. The body, when laid in the grave, tvas covered with two feet of quicklime. This is narrated by the Russian despatch bn the evideuceof an eye-wUnesSj-wfao happepedtobe atCeilieres at the tlme of the barUL* The writer of the despatch concludes by say log—“ Ton may rely on the accuracy of 'these facts; I have tbemfromM. , an intimate frlendof M. de Voltalre, and who did not quit him for qn instant’ thtougtfout his illness. I owe also several particulars to my friend M. , who saw M. de Voltaire three or four times a day, and took care tq have accurate information of all that happened daring this sad time.” IFrom the Toledo Blade.l NAMBX. , nr. Nasby and New Torn—An Item In tbe Hempapen Decide* him Agalui Going to that city, which Decision a little Arithmetic Iteveraea. Post Orris, Conkkdkbit X Roads, (Wich Is in the Stalt av Kentucky, Feb. 20,18G9. I notlst In the public prints (which confooeben seeze)‘au item to the effcck that the leadin' Dimocrlsy (nich Is the men av wealth, wich hevin stole thelrselves rich are anxious to keep their wealth and be bloated aristocrats) Dev determined to no longer pertect the tbeeves, bond-robbers, and garroters, burglars and sich who are makin that city lively lor that class, and that when sich are taken they must take their chances the same ez though they lived In other cities. How much it costem to get the courts for cm I don’t know, but that onr friends are to hev a hard time nv it hereafter, Is certin. One nv ein, a brite and sblnln lite, wbo was accused uv a burglary, com plicated with a murder or two, wuz not only ar rested and tried, but wuz convictld and sen tenced to Bing Bing for forty years, and another for twenty. At first site this settled the question nv my go ing to Noo York adversely. I tho tto myself. If these lnfatooatid men persist in their determen ashen to hang and lmprlzen all nv these men onto wich they bln git ther bands onto, the Dimokratic majority In Noo York will fade out' like frost under a May BUD. and tho Republlklas will carry It, jlstez soon ez the courts get thro with tber wnrk. Bow long it will take to kill off the Dlmerkra tlc majority in the city, by law, Is very easily as certained. There aro eutbin like twenty criminal courts In the city, and I spoze, ef the judges push things, each court kin average one convickshen a'.day. We hev a real majority In the city uv 30,- 000. We hev ez high ez 70,000,but 40,080 nv these wuz repeetere. Now ef the courts hang and ta rn the week, it will take five years or thereabouts to wipe out onr majority entirely, and throw the city Into the hands uv our nateral enemies. Probably it wood be done sooner, for the minit they begin hongln in earnest, pcrtiselerly ef they commence on onr leading men, the smaller fry will take Sight and scatter. It Is safe to say that by the next presldenshel eleckshun the majority in the city will be so redoost ez to make the State shoor for the radlkels. I hed made up my mind to abandon the idea nv locatin in Noo York, but an after-thought changed my pnrpose. I shel go to Noo York. An ordinary states prison will hold fifteen hauj dred convlx. The three or tour prizens the State bez Is all foil, and not one in a thousand is sent to em who ought to be. Ez a matter nv course new prizens will hev to be built, and to accomo date our majority twenty new ones will be required. Now the Court House in Noo York hez already made the forcbooDS uv twelve con tracktera, wlcb hev all retired independently rich, and experienced calculators hev flggered that twenty more wifi make their pile out uv It, before it Is fiuisht. A states prisen kin be made to coßt ez much ez the court house, for uv course they will be fiuisht with all tho modern improvements for the convir, Incloodin gas and hot and cold water. The nnfortnlt men ought to live in the same style ez before ther lncarcerashen. It would be crooel to deprive an alderman or member uv the common council, or member uv the board uv edycashun, uv the black walnut furnltoor they bev been accustomed to. Under the present management, at least thirty two men kin be made independent out uv each prlzen. Twenty times thirty-two is (140, wich is 640, wich Is the precise number uv Demo cratic leaders wbo kin be made comfortable out uv this misforcheon to the party. There is no great loss without some small gala. While we are rcdooslng our majority by Imprisoning our voters, a porehen uv us will make oar callins shoor by bufidln the prizens to hold em. Who knows but cf I git my großery started in time 1 kin get in the ring wich builds out uv their in stooshens! And cf one nv em shood be fiuisht be fore the control uv em passes out uv our hands, who knows but I mite perchance be warden nv one uv em ? Oh wat happiness that wood be! There, in the coujeenal society uv Democrats, I cood happily pass my days. With the prisoners I cood hold sweet converse. We wood fite our polltikle battles o'er agin—we wood talk of our campaigns and compare notes ez to wat we had respectively done for Dtaocrlcy. The repeters wood tell how many times they voted at this eleckshun and how many at that—they wood narrate the partlkelers uv their excursions to Connecticut, Noo Jersey and Philadelphia, and sa the time wood pass cheerily. I can’t imagine a more happy potlsheu for a man of my tastes than sich a poslshen in state’s prison in Noo York. We shood hev there a society all uv one kind. Ther wood be no jarrin clemence,no dissensions,for oar ranks wood afinz be recrooled from one source. Tber wood be no unpleasant rolashon. Ez the Dimocrlsy wood hev the appointin uv the offi cers the zed officers wood, ef they contloyoo the practisnow in vogue In Noo York, be taken from the same class ez the convix under em, so that iher wood be no Jealousy or hart bum ins. How sweetly time wood glide on! Ez I contemplate the pliasin picter, I do not reject the movement at all. My haven uv rest may after all be a berth in a Noo York prizen. Let It come. Pktroi.ecm V. Nasdy, P. IL, (Wlch means Post Master.) Tbc Settlement of tlte Indian Troubles Washington, Feb. 26—General Sherman ar rived here this afternoon, direct from St. Louis, and will for the present make his headquarters in Washington. He says that no more Indian troubles are likelv to occnr during Ibis year at least, as all the iribes which have been warlike seem anxious to be removed to their reservations. General Sheridan Is now on the Plains, with troops, engaged in removing the hostile tribes. It is General Sherman's belief that all tribes will be satisfied to remain on the reservations set aside for them by the Government, with the pos sible exception of the Sioux tribe, who are discontented nnless on the war-path, and, there fore, 'the General says he expects to see them vio late their treaty within two years. In the present contest thiß tribe did not fully feel the force of the strong arm of the Government, and nothing short of this will stop their depredations on the whites. From Washington. Washington, Feb. 26.—The public debt state ment for the present month will be issued earlier than usual, in March, and will not be delayed until the 6th or 7th, as usual. The Indications of a large decrease continue to be very good. Impressions concerning the . construction of 'lie Incoming Cabinet multiply rapidly, but as yet there 1b no ground for believiug that the names of any of the proposed members will be made public," even an hour before the date of their nomination to the Senate, as announced by General Grant to the Congressional committeo two weeks ago.
