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.

upon the ,increasing' interest manifested upon . the
suljec 4 t'of Mt:m . 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.',

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."

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.

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. When Europe
is trampling under foot the hollow baubles and paint
ed gewgaws of royalty, it is not meet that this great
country should begin to restore the relics of privi
lege and power, which they havetust buried fathoms
deep Federalism desires to use the Tariff of 1892,
for the purpose of regaining lost position. While
it is about it, it might as well evoke the ghosts of the
United States B-ink and the standing army, and so
complete the fully and the failure.—Pennsylvanian.
Guarantylsm In Cincinnati.
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

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. The ecclesiastic who breath.

of such, the following recipe:

four parts rosin; melt and mix well together; then
pour into cold water, and work very thoroughly, as

, TO THE PUITLIC
The miner 11 lands " included in the foregoing pro
clamntion embrace the greater portion of Keweena Point s
and the southern shore of !Ake Superior, in the northern
peninsula of !Mehl:tan, and are. rendered immentely
valuab'e by the exhaustless mines of 'copper and. other
ores found therein. ' - .
A considerable number of those mines..have already
been discovered in the trap ranges borderhig on Lake Su
perior, and within a few runes of. it, and from the geolo
gical character of the country and the explorations al
ready outdo, it cannot bo doubted that others equally, if
not more, valuable will be found throughout this whole
"mineral region..
In some of the mines now worked, copper is found al
most pore: and in fact, most of the native cr pper and
ores yteld a greater per-tentage than any other yet dis
covered in the world. Silver is also fund in considers
l L.: quantities.
All the necessary materials for the Construction of Inf.
'laces. and fuel - trot smelting, are found in tibundance in
the immediate neighborhood of the minerall and the tare
of the country is such, that the mines require lot little-if
any nrtificial drainage, and are therefore worked togreat
advantage.: •
The clunate in thy winter, though colkdoes nor inter
rupt the,operations of the. miners : jut fact, that APOEOU is
considered the most frivorable for thcieoperations. 3
The proximity of these miner:ll Amnia to the shore'of
Luke Superior. on which are several 'safe and excellent
harbors. and the water communiention therefrom by the
Sault Ste- Marie, Lakes Huron: Erie. ?cc., furnish ready
menns of transporting the prodners of these lauds to the
yrinciyal markets of the United States at a very trilling
It likewise appenrs from the reports to this office, that
the agricultural lands are of a fair quality. p imbuing the
usual culinary vegetables and grass in abuntlance • and
no-doubt, when the soil is properly tilled- itwill be found
fnvorali!e for grain crops also and for all these products
a.fairprice and good market will be found at the, mines.
Timber, such, as white and yellow pine. sugar maple,
yellow birch. is. in many places, very abundant, and.
by its thrifty grewth,giveis evidence-el the richness of
the soil.
Maps showing the localities of the mines and other
valuable information relating thereto. derived from the.
