Its province is to discover the sources of those laws and forces which operate upon . and Within matter. It is a product of the corn 'billed action of the perceptive, reasoning, and moral factljties, and it belongs principally to the domain of causes grasping effects -only in order to trace out those connecting links which '•unite them with their creative objects, and comprehending those objects or causes that- lie beyond the reach of those common channels of communication, the senses, through which we • take' cog,nizarieetif Material things.

We fear Mr. McDonald's talent lies less in the invention of •.oteW ideas than in the elaboration of novel expressions for old ones. Eighteen axioms introduce the general discussion, upon which Mr; McDonald's--system -is - founded,- " The only safe harbor where the conscientious reasoner can find a secure footing rests upon such grounds as are not debatable, because they are self-evident, and where all may meet in affirmative sentiment. Here are planted 'the 'rocks of ages'-and the interminable ever ___lasting_hills,7_the abodes of peace, of enduring harmony, and of angelic fellowship; where things-human are in full accord with things di vine, where heaven protrudes an anchor chain in base outline through intervening existencies to which finite — intelligence may cling in sen tient safety. Above these grounds the human mind may soar in eagle flights, and busy itself - - in , buildine airy- structures among the fleeting t and the , Will be as transient as the supporting winds. in ess we +- on ese foundations our labor is lost and our energies wasted." We will conclude our excerpts with one of the author's most accomplished defini tions,-And upon that leave the_ reader to his fate. Mr. McDonald knows all about thoughts : Thoughts are " the excrement of solid and omnipresent attributes, or, in other terms, pearls crystallizing from ingredient elements of deific consciousness." The power for good of a mere plain farmer, a sort of Cincinnatus of New Tork,whose mind " was naturally quick, energetic and thought ful," is made the subject of an interesting novel by A. J. Cline, entitled " Henry Courtland."

THE FENIAN lIOVE3IENT MALONE, May 28.—The Fenian invasion has been abandoned as hopeless. The men are almost faznished, and but for the charity of the people of Malone, they , would starVe. Prominent officers of the Brotherhood have agreed to discountenance further hostile move ments on the American continent, while nearly all the men here say they will never have anything to with Fenianistn again, and will use their influence against it. Gen. Meade having refused transportation, the selectmen of Malone will bond the citizens for $4,000 -- t9 pay the Fenians' fare back to Rome.: Father McMahon says he has telegraphed to twenty places, including St. Louis, for trten and money, and advises the men to stay here until Monday or Tuesday, when a fight can be made. MONTREAL, May 28.—Great anxiety is felt as to the disposition of the captured Fenians by the Government. Five are in jail at various points, and public feeling is so intense against them, that extra precautions have, been taken for security from lynch law.

The Government will not provide transportation for the I,ooo'or Fenlans remaining in Ma lone and vicinity, and Generalpieacre is of the opinion that the railroad comelmies must do this at their own expense, as they realized full pay for bringing them here.

It was built by Waters, Balch & Co., of Troy, N. Y. • Shortly before eleven o'clock the spectators gathered on the, piers commanding a view of the course. A high wind was -blowing and during the entire time of the race a disagreeable, cold rain was falling. - The attendance, outside of - about fifty members and friends of the Quaker City Club, was not large, owing to the exceedingly - disagreeable weather. Midship men and marines at the Academy wereiont irr full-force. At eleven o'clock precisely the Phlox left.her wharf and steamed out into the stream and took position. at the starting buoys, in order to enable the referee and judges to witness the start. By half-past eleven the two boats arrived at the starting buoys, and were held there, rest ing with their sterns-against the two boats an chored in position at the buoys, to give - a fair and even start. . , At. precisely eleven o'clock, thirty-one min utes• and fifteen -seconds, the word "go" was given, and both boats started upon their corn - - - petitive voyage. The start could not possibly have been more fair. The midshipmen on the first pull made fully a half boat length by dex terously giving One, quick, short pull, which threw their boat out; while the' Quaker Citys were gathering for a: full, long pull. Before, however, the Quaker Citys had taken, their first the midshipmen had gathered for a long pull, which they gave even with the Quaker City. During the first minute the midshipmen took a pull of forty-two strokes, wl,ich they let down to forty. This Stroke they kept up (luring the entire race. The Quaker Citys started on. a thirty-eight stroke. It was thought this was a ruse, though they did not increase on this, while the-midshipmen, after. •the.-first ke at u het , •ak• a a g The water was considered in fair condition, thoueb a little rough. At the upper stake the midshipmen had rounded and were at least a -length on-the-home - pull—by-the—titne-th • Quaker City reached their stake boat. In rounding the stake boat post the bow oarsman of the midshipmen sprung au oar,which neces sitated pulling easier. Before reaching the home boat the oar broke, the midshipmen pull ing in with three oars. As the midshipmen crossed the line of vic tory the parties on the shore rent the air with round after round of cheers. Their Comrades had made the distance, three miles, in twenty minutes and twenty-five seconds, or thirty-three and one-half seconds ahead of the Quaker Citys. Tiinc-3lidshipmen. "20 minutes and 25 seconds; Quaker City, 20 minutes and 5S seconds.

WEST POINT Arrival of the First Colored Cadet...Ez citement in the Military Academy... improvements...A Practical - Joke-- Prospects of the Season. , • [Special Correspondence of the New York Tunes.] WEST POINT, Friday, May 27. Consider able excitement was caused ere on Tuesday by the arrival of the colored appointee for the Mississippi cadetship. His, name is . Michael - Howard, and his pure 'African descent is un mistakably Manifested in his clear black com plexion, large white eyes and closely-crimped hair. His personal appearance is by no means unprepossessing. In height he is about five feet four inches ; his figure is well rounded, and his carriage is not at . all ungraceful. His countenance has a pleasant, shrewd and resolute ex pression. It is quite evident that he is aware of the peculiar position in which he is placed, and that although sensitive, he is not embat rassed nor discouraged. His, appearance as he wandered about the Plains, carrying in his hand an immense carpet-bag, and inquiring he-directiorrto - the - eommandant's ofhce, was somewhat amusing. He was politely that he was in advance of the appointed time, and that new cadets could not be examined un til after the 23th. He then endeavored to pro cure board, but everywhere he applied was in formed that !there were no accommodations left, whereupon he proceeded to the village of Highland Falls, two miles below, and applied to,Cozzens' Hotel. Dinner and supper were furnished him there, but all the rooms were " engaged ;" so he had recourse to a colored family who live near by, and who , are now en tertaining him. He appears, very quiet, but apparently determined to "push things" reso lutely. His advent is the sensation of the sea son. The cadets, especially, are not a little eV ercised in mind over the matter, and it is a theme of not a little contentious argument. Even the ollicers,while discarding all political bias in the matter,amt after having fought for the colored race both at the polls and on the battle-field, while feeling kindly toward him, speak very doubtfully on the expediency of this venture. The position of the now cadet, if accepted and retained, must grow more and more embarrassing from his isolation and the I peculiar novelty of his social connections. No doubt but this •recruit will have a thorough initiatory " devilment" from the cadets to sus tain which Will test_kis fortitude., - PHILADELPHIA EVENING-BULLETIN, MON DAY.
