Some particulars or a circumstance which has imaged much excitement in the City or Washington, hive Leen given to our i coders in our Telegraphic reports, during the lam week. It will be recollect. it'd that - sevetity-seven slaves, owned by different persons in the District of Columbia, had been secret ed"in a vessel belonging to Philadelphia, and were paptu'red ricer tl.c mouth of the Potomac river. The nerves were all brought hack, and the persons en gaged-in taking them away, were committed to pri sms. TI e affair was such a one as to excite the feelings of any man,—more erpecially those vi hose property (so the laws of all slave States assert such tobe,) had thus been tiken fr- m them; and there 'were not, wanting tit. se who improved the occasion to try and excite the worst passions of the people. the office of the rational Era, (ah'cli bee been es- Mblished in that city liir eighteen months, and which was InAtid upon ‘hy some as one of the instrumen talities through which the negroes were taken away,) was therefore made the subject of an attack, by a •portion of tie crowd tbat o bad assembled in its imme- Aiate vicinity; and it was thought that it would be entirely demolished- The editor of the paper was alio threatened; r ni in ennsequenceof his appearance ,befon. the number n ho called at hie house, and mil . ing-soelt an a; val to the good sense of his fellow , nieW, as a man honestly contending for what he be • lieves to be right can make, he was in no wise molert ed. Bat a slight damage woodlice to his printing of fice. Indeed we must say, that the editors of the Era have condtime I that piper in a manner ar once to command the attention and the respect, es en of those who entirely differ oath them iu relation to the policy and extod:enty of negro slavery ; and the Citizen. tirthe District bi - 'Colombia are not of that clots who will sanction a personal wrong to any man, bee-rase he moy not think as they do ; or to perinit 'his property to lie dostroyed, for no n ore .acolus offenc'e than that. We hope and Relieve that they will ever prove by their generous fos bear 'nee and toleration, that, though they own slaves, they will not ottempt to fetter or crush reason ; or • Turbid-to their fellnw men the right of speech. We could swish that the same truly patriotic spirit haid been manifested in every other part of our coun try. Had this be en thine, Ohio would not have .. lessened her it fl .eace among her sister States, by sending to CongrEisa such a Rtiteopierian fanatic as Giddings; li,ssachusetts would have kept within her own borders such men as Palfrey; and the gran ite hills of New Hampshire would have continued to frown ;ion The people of the District of Columbia have never yet consigned to the Potomac even the press of a tory in the lime of tear; nor baits they been willing to sanction the burning of soltficas!consecratel to education, and occupied by :iromen.klone. TO they can be brought to do such lets as these, they will never follow in the wake of those *lto would carry their point by the means of 'the torched* the incendiary, or the argument= ba- Mslintiat. They are too deeply wedded to the ttrainti of Washington and of Jefferson, to tolerate area as idea of the dissolution of our Union, by in terfering with the rights of others; or that Error, in 'whatever form she may-present herself, will not be obliged to retire before the beauty and majesty of Troth. In all their history they have not shown that they feared open and honest discussion ; and the security in which have rested all the incendia . „ •rles; who have been sent to the seat of Government, tti r; s proof that the People know how to zommiser- Me MA the error, of their fellow citizens. We arc in no respect either the advocates or apol ogists of slavery, in any form—neither the slavery enforced by , the nortlitria manufacturer, that of the southern planter, nor that worse slavery of the mind of man, which would forbid every inquiry after tenth, unless pursued In tht beaten track of p a st ages. No: had vie the poker to effect that object, without perpetrating a wrong upon bath parties in terested, slavery would at once cease to be. But we real'ze, in part, the_ value of our glorious Union: we recognise the rights of every state composing it: and we are unwilling to tolerate any scheme, calcu lated to interfere with those rights, or in any way to weaken the bond by which we are united—that bond, *sacred regard, by the citizens of each state, for those of all the others, forthe gond of all.

Bl.l(in, is; one or the most cheering.' Mr. Jtrst.e.sou said "The human soul, without edu cation-, is like marnle in the query;" and if this fie truly applicable to the mass of mankind, bow im portant—nay, how indispensably necessary is it, that those who assume to teach others, should them selves be fully enlightened, upon the various sub jects, within the scope of their duties as teachers!— While we admit, as all who who examine into the facts must do, the great devotion to the cause of 're ligion on the part of the Itinerant Methodist minis. try; the unceasing labor they are called upon to per form, in their almost wilderness circuits; the priva tions they endure; and the mere pittance of pay which they receive; we are satisfied that their sphere of usefulness will be in no degree circumscribed, but, on the contrary, their capacity to be useful will be increased, just in proportion to the amount of solid and valuable learning which they shall receive, previous to setting out u; on their mission. It is in view of these considerations, that we notice with pleasure the report of the Committee :on Education, in the last Methodist Episcopal Conference, held at Easton in this State, from which we make the renew ing extracts: .61't e progrms of society in matters of knowledge, and akill in execution, requires of the Church a cot respondieg advance in these respects. She cannot fully accomplish her mission, unless she prepares heraell in this matter. Our fathers so understood the duty of the Church.and sought to provide semi naries of tearning fur the education or our people. Within the last twenty years we have made large and successful efforts to increase the number and en dowments of our seminaries of learning, and the Committee are of opinion that the people are bt•corn• ing more and more favorable to the general diffusion of educat on, among both people and ministers.— And we do nut doubt, but that this feeling will in crease more and more, if our seminaries shall con tinue to be conducted with ability and economy." "A new institution has been recommended to the consideration of the Committee, by a resolution of the Baltimore Conference, with papers accompany ing the same. It is entitled "Dickinson College Seminary at Williamsport, Pennsylvania." A■ its name indicates, it is intended to be auxiliary to our College The history of the Seminary is briefly this: The town of Williamsport, on the west branch of the Susquehanna, owned a fine lot of ground, on which were erected very commodious buildings for a Seminary. All this property the town has trans ferred to a Board of True ces, two-thirds of which must be members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, on condition that they should pay a small debt against it of $239 37; and the further condition, that they should place it under the patronage of the Baltimore Conleietice, within whose halals it is, and always keep on the premises a Sem:nary, both male and tb male. '•The Baltimore Conference has fortnerl, taken this Seminary under its patronage, and the Bishop has appointed the Rev- Thomas Bowman, Principal. Toe committee take pleasure in expressing great confidence in this appointment, as Mr. Bowman has Leen well known as a sound scholar, (graduate of our own College) an excellent minister, and well qur.lified by his experience, and pleasing manners and address.', 13= Extract of a letter from a correspondent of the North American: "I have seen St. Peter's, an edifice worthy of Him to whose worship it is dedicated, if any edifice, er ected by human hands can be worthy of Ilim, vibe resides in a temple not made with hands, eternal an the heavens. Standing beneath its maglaty dome, endeavoring to gather into my mind all sts vast di mensions, I could not help but be awed by the geni us which had conceived, and the power which had executed so stupendous a work. lie who built thr magnificent dome, winch towered up above my head into the air, and looked down upon Rome and her seven hills, of what mortal achievement was he not capable I It is the first church in Rome and in the world. In its erection the genius of Bramante, and of a greater still, Michal Angelo, was exhausted; in its decorat'on ages have been employed and millions expended. But great as are Rome's monuments,both ancient and modern, and steep as is the interest which she excites on account of them, her present political condition, and Ler relation to the rest of Italy and the world, are greater still. The accession of the liberal and enlightened Pius IX, to the l'apal throne, wall g.ve date to a new era in the world's history or lam greatly toast iken. Already, a most surprising change has been wrought. There are now three constitutional governments on the Peninsula of Ita ly, and in a few days Rome wall constitute a fourth. A year ago who would hare dreamed of this! Who would have believed, that an so short a space, Na. pies, Piedmont, Tuscany and flume, would have been constitutional governmental To Pius IX. it the credit of all this due. He be gan his reign by reforming abuses, and granting to his people as much liberty as he beliet,ed consistent with their best interests. From time to time, as he regarded it Safe, he has been enlarging that liberty; and at length, seeing that the people were qualified for it, be has promised them a constitution, which will confer upon them all the privileges of freemen. Strow, in his own integrity or purpose, and his con victions of what is right, bu disregards the frowns and threats of Austria, as he does the fears of the weakminded in his own Councils, and proceeds steadily in the direction which wisdom and duty point out. A wise, good and brave man, I cannot but feel that ho is the instrument which Providence has selected to change the face of the world and better the condition of his species. A all laii*Oirrention. We find, in the laiiComober of the Democrat, printed at Coshocton, Ohio; a call for a Convention, to be held at that place on the 18th and 19th of May, to take into consideration, and fix upon some plan fur the commencement of the several railroads that are authorized to be constructed by the Legis lature of Ohio, and which make Coshocton one of the points in their several routes. The editor of the Democrat says— ., We believe five of the Charters granted, take this valley in their •route, viz: The Franklin and Ohio river, the Steubenville and Mt. Vernon, the Pittsburgh and Columbus, the Central Ohio, and the Central Valley Railroads—and four of the five make Coshocton a point. It must be obvious that some union, and concentration of interests and labors, must be effected, in order to obtain the object at which all arc aiming—the great Thoroughfare of the Wei.t to the East. "To counsel, and effect this, is the object and desire of our citizens, and for this purpose they have authorized to be issued the above call; and we hope that as many, from all d:reetioneand from all routes, as possibly can, will strive to attend and be heard in the above matter." 11r. Trait. Older Arrest The correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune, writing from Mexico, under date of March 22nd, in speaking of the testimony of Mr. Trist, says: "You will perceive, even from his language, the bitter feeling of hostility he has towards General Pillow and the President, but it was necessary to have heard him give his testimony; to mark his tone and emphasis; to measure the fullness of this feeling. It is not known when his animosity to the President took root, but it has been by no metals modified by the President's recent course towards him. Mr. Freaner who arrived here on the 16th instant, with dispatches from Washington, brought, among other communications, an order to Gellert!! Butler to send Mr. Trist out of the country as soon as he had given his evidence before the court of inquiry, and, I am led to believe as a prisoner. Mr. Trist addressed a long letter to General Butler, denying his right to arrest, or forcibly move from the country, an Ameri can citizen. The reply of the General was, briefly, that he had received orders from Its government.-- The government could not nave done less than to arrest Trist, to vindicate its dignity and as:ert its au thority." 1!IM!!iMNI We would call the especial attention of our read ers, to the eateneive sale of valuable lands in the State of Michigan, which ie to take place in July neat. These lands are in the immediate vicinity of Lake Superior—one of the most extensive mineral regions in the country; and the sale will doubtless command the attention of capitalists from every part of the country. - - Major General Qialtutan. The Biographical sketch of this distinguished and popular officer, to which we alluded a few days since, will he published in the Post to-morrow. Those who may desire cam copies of the paper, will be good enough to leave their orders at the Counting Room in the course Of this day, and they will be promptly attended to.

Sntas, Bathing. The skin should be kept clean, and the best mode ofinvignrating it, besides exposing it to the air, is to bathe the surface of the body frequently with cold water—this at all seasons of the year. To men who are delicate, and not accustomed to bathing and exprutura of the person to the air, I would particlarly recommend to them, when they commence bathing, if in cold weather, to do so in a well heated room. This ablution of the body with cold water, I think should be dune eery day in the year. Many per sons shudder at the idea of using water upon their persons in cold weather. I think it is then stoat useful. In the cold winter of 1835 6, the Rev. Mr. Abercrombie, D. D. one of the oldest Episcopal elercymen in Philadelphia, called at my house on one of the coldest days. The old man was about seventy five years of age, and of a very light thin figure. In the course of conversation he chanced to remark, that he did not feel as well as usual that day, because he had forgotten to take his bath in the morning. " Why," said I, "Doctor, you do not take a cold bath such weather as this!'' "Yea," said he, "I have been in the habit of bathing in cold wager every day, in all seasons ofthe year, for more than fifty years." Few men ever enjoyed more un interruptedly good health during a long life than Dr. Abercrombie. In January, 1845,1 eras called upon at Norwich, in Connecticut, by an old gentleman seventy two years of age. He told me that he had not heard my lec trues, lint that he heard of them, and my :remarks upon bathing in cold water. He said to me "my neighbors call me crazy,, because I go out in all weathers, and never wear an overcoat; and here," said he, opening a thin cotton shirt, upon his bosom, "is all the covering I wear for my breast, save my coat and waistcoat, and further, said be I bathe a great deal in cold water. I prefer bathing in the river here."—Fdrit on the lungs. Product of Labor the only Real Wealth. Agriculture is the foundation of wealth. These. renders her tribute ; but the earth presents to skill and industry richer and infinitely varied contribu tions. Money is net wealth. It is only the repre sentative of wealth. Money is coveted because it can command labor; but of what use would lt be, if labor could not be commanded. What would it avail to poses; all the riches of Potosi, if thereby we could not acquire the product of agriculture What arc manufactures concerned in but these pro ducts 1 What freights the barks of commerce in their liquid flight, threading every channel and whi. tening every port, but the products of agriculture 1 Whence does the'government derive its revenues but from the fruits of agriculture. What constituea the ea!th of the country but her cotton, hemp, sugar, rice, tobacco, wool, wheat, beef, and pork 1 Agri culture oily can be considered the creator of wealth. The merchant, the manufacturer, the sailor,the vari ous artisans and tradesman perform their part in making the products of agriculture more valuable; in transporting them, so that the advantages of cli mate are equalized, and in putting them in a condi tion for use; but agriculture alone produces. Like the leader of Israel, she strikes the rock, the waters flow, and a famishing people are satisfied. She sup plies, she feeds, she quickens all. Agriculture In the commanding interest of the country, with which no single interest of a secular nature combined, can be brought into competition. The Tariff of 1842. If some legislative wiseacre were now to propose to enact for the whole country, the exploded blue kelt of view England, he could hardly be regarded with more contempt, than are those political magi cans who announce to the world that the welfare of the c•iuniry requires the resurrection of the Tariff of 1842. The truth is, like the humbugs of other age., it his already taken its place in the depository of the dead Past, and Federalism will be too glad to committ it to perpetual obscurity, when its few and feeble capacities are once more expoied. The truth is, the charm that, in former days, made this ques tion a formidable delusion, has past away. Those who were deceived have at last seen that it is not the idol that has consumed their presents, and exact ed from them their exertions, but the sleek impos tors who concealed themselves within it, and grew fa• upon the tributes of their dupes.

We take the following from the Cincinnati Mor ning Herald, and rejoice to find in that city, such various proofs of practmal interest in the great ques tion social reform and progress. The cautions of the Herald are not inappropriate, although there is no reason why an enterprise for the mutual protec tion of the laboring class, 'should not be conducted with the shrewdness and good sense that are essen tial to the success of any business operation.— [Har binger. "The Queen City says, it learns with pleasure that the young men, moulders of this city, are about erecting a Foundry on the share system. Our me chanics will find enterprises of this nature remark ably beneficial if properly managed. "We do earnestly trust a fair experiment of this kind may be attempted. Let it be done cautiously and perseveringly, and it will succeed. We know there will be difficulties to remove, for lack of cap ital and credit. But union and co-operation can overcome all such obstacles. A fair union of cap ital, skill, and labor, in a partnership of equal rights —substituting co-operation for competition—uniting the interests of all—indentifying in fact as well as theory, private benefit with public good—giving to each agent in producting his fair share of the com mon profits—would go • far towards removing some of the fundamental ills orour social condit on.—There would be no more combinations of capitalists, to op press—no strikes of laborers, to intimidate. There would be - increased production, and a more equal arid just distribution of the means of subsistence, comfort, and cultivation. It is a simple experiment, and yet there is hardly enough faith in the world to make it." Review of Troops at San Angel. On Wednesday, the 22nd of March, the brigade under command of Colonel Wynkoop was reviewed at San Angel, and it affords us the highest satisfac tion to add that the result was productive of general pleasure to' ll present. The brigade, which was re viewed by Major General Patterson, (the first time this gallant officer visited this post,) consisted of the New York regiment, Colonel Burnham; Massachu setts regiment, Colonel Wright; Second Pennsylvan ia regiment, Colonel Geary; First Pennsylvania reg iment, Male, Bowman; South Carolina regiment, Major Donovant. The several regiments vied with each other, as to which should perform the several evolutions they were called to go through, to the greatest perfection, and to the credit of their gallant and efficient officers we venture to say, that they were LO way inferior to the oldest veterans that m rawh i t g ijoc h nh t b . e .v b ir r: ed u G g m b .ea t nr i me n r t ea o sltp t ter b i e ttme .fi rs e s l o. d nt . ot After'the review, o C e o xre4 le p tiel s 'l li Y i y s var .ad oo nli p . and those around; for the; perfection of the drill of the brigade—a collation - Awns served up at the guar tere of Colonel Wynkoop, :widows ample justice to by the guests.

When Bishop Hughes was travelling on the conti nent, he met at Turin an ecclesiastic at dinner, who took a deep interest in the affairs of republican A merica. The conversation turned upon the mune:- chical management of the European sovereigns.-- The foreign ecclesiastic very strongly condemned the absolutism of reigning potentates, and contend. ed that the people should possess greater privileges and power. Bishop Hughes argued that the Sove reign Pontiff should set an example of liberality, and expressed a belief that the march of freedom would auspiciously take its rise from the Papal See. The gentleman he addressed assented, and compliment ed Bishop IL on his ardent republicanism. He further added, that he hoped to ace the der-when popular liberty would receive an impulse from the palace of the Quirinal.
