WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1868. Notes on tlieAthqninnin. " Dr. Samuel Johnson liked “ a good hater.” Had he lived In the present time, he would have .been charmed with a London hebdomadal publication, bearing the sonorous and classi cal name of The Athenaum, and professing to be wondorfully critical and supematurally impartial. • How far it has come up to itii pro fessions may presently be jndged. On (too point alone. The Athenaum has an unques tioned character ;it still is,-as it always has been; one of the most eonsißtont pe riodicals in Europe. ■- * It may ho recollected that the lateral. Daniel O’.Oonnell (the -greatest HeM-| ier upon record, but really a patriot as an agitator) denounced Consistency asj/fa scoundrolly virtuo.”. What would he hart sjild of the consistency of Th£ Athenaum? ' Itljaß oarried out. the “ scoundrelly virtue’” with pertinacity and boldness. Consistent In al ways praising the publications, or bad, of its own critical corps s verynon sistent in novor, by any clianco, d jscpr|Hng tho merits of a now author until alMlif rest of mankind had warmly aoknowledgod tym \ and continuously consistent in donyiqjjany merit whatever'to American writers. 'Buch is the three-fold consistency of the Ltidon. Athenaum, a Journal whose critical opinions, upon American literature, although notorifnsly capricious whore they are not mnllciousljrun just, are yet viowed with strange respect by our publishers, and with awe by our authqrs. What Bhall bo thought oi a critical tribinal which hredits the historians PresootTl and Motley and Bancroft with little morojthiin laborious industry, which secs , neither hlunjor nor pathos in tho poetry of Oliver Wenlell Holmes, which insists that John 6.

All this the Athenaum has done. To pcrfectbnsto fts anti-American feeling, it only remahe for jt to praise tho imaginative powers of,"Ned Buntllno” and the historical and . Ac curacy of the eminent Smdoker, whq’t'akes lives (in black and white) in happy igrotance of his subject, adopts the canard of (maga zine as fact, and presents his readerdwitjra twenty-years old Annual fancy plate e the actual likeness of a living boanty- . \ ; Tho opening article, occupying two Hsjsill quarto pagos, in tho Athenaum of SepteiibOr 25th, is devoted to the consideration of Ijho eellow’s new volume of poems.

The Athenaum reminds us of David Djuw, in " The Heart of Hid-Lothian,” who lade only one • joke in his life, and that a 'oh derous one, at which,' as Soott relftteilie "langhod a hoarse and brief laugh, and wosid dimly grave and silent, as If abashed et MsWn vivacious effort.” In the Athenaum’s , roritv -ur—-xuo: vounHmp brstliesTS csnmsnlA; critic considers it necessary to pass an oplnln upon all that Mr. Lohofellow over wrote t fore. The exquisite story of “Evangeline’ which has stirred many a strong man’s hea, and brought tears into many bright and beaj ing eyes, does not meet with the Athenaum favor. By way of treating it with particuj: contumely, wo suppose,the critic oracks ajot, his solitary effort in that line, and speaks f “ Mr. Loho —or, to borrow a witty and trir name, Mr.Protraetod —fellow” as a poor pot Assuredly, without having been specially 1 formed of the fact, we never should have cq sldered that thore was truth or wit in speak i; of tho author of " Tho Courtship of Mi) Standish ” as Mr. Protracted-fellow.

Some thirty years ago, white yet the’ Athe naum was young, it pleasod Its conductors jnst as contemptuously os it how sneers at Lonofkllow, and the majority of Amorioan authors, to ridicule " Polham,” the first am bitious production of a yonng gentleman named Bulwer—tho first, almost, for “ Falk land” was withdrawn neariy as soon as pub lished, and "Weeds and Wildflowers,” and “ O’Neil, or the Rebel,” wore pootic efforts chiefly noticeable now as showing the promise of the writer’s maturity. Bulwer, heedless of tho advico not to write again, pursued his career as a man of letters—but the fact that he had dead linen, well-fitting coats, and usually wore .kid-gloves, continued to an noy his critical friends of tho Athe naum, In a wonderfully short time, though he had the misfortune to- be a man of fashion,' Bulwbr’? works became themes of general admiration, and It was felt that a writer had arisen, likely to take the place which Scott was about to leave. Then, trno to the principle which haa since guided it, (except when American celebrities are Impli cated,) the Athenaum followod the oxamplo of Fadladoen, the critic In “Laila Rookh,” and suddenly praised as violently as It had once ridiculed. Bulwer, who probably had felt the sneer, was superior to the enlogy. In tho midsummer of IBSO his satirical novel of "Paul Clifford” was published, In which he described his old fob . as the Ast-ineum and do-, signated its “slashing critic” by tho sobriquet of “Peter MoHrawier.” Tho world laughed, and the nick-name stuck. To this day, the Athe naum is aa well known by one title aa by the other, and if any doubt conld have existed as to its meriting the appellation, whoever reads its recent pronouncing upon Lonqfellow will undoubtedly admit that, to this hour, it is tho j?sS-ineum, and nothing more nor leas.

A Philadelphia Merchant- Letter from a Distinguished Democrat. LET THE WASHINGTON DESPOTB BBAB AND TREMBLE. [Correspondence of The Press.] The eleotion is overt and with the rosult that many of us feared. Anathemas, long, deep-drawn, and of dire import, are everywhere hurled at the Federal Administration. This Is but the breaking out of a volcano that has been partially smothered for tbe last nine months—smothered by that alle gianoo and fidelity that bonnd the masses of our people-to the Democratic party—smothered, be* cause we still hoped a single ray of confidence yot remained, that seme returning aot of ood faith might bind us again in that brotherhood of hearts and hands that gave us a Pennsylvania President in 1850. We had a Congressman to oleot—this also led to an effort to harmonize and strengthen our forces. The man uppermost in tho hearts of the Demooraoy of the district was nominated— the man who saved the “old Demoora tio star of the West” in 1854-s—a man whose very name had insured victory heretoforo—Hon. H. D. Fos tor. But the people had once been deceived, not by those who were at this eleotion asking their suffrages, but by those higher in power—by tboso whom the candidates of tnepresent year bad con tributed largoly by their eloquence to elect. For the first time in many years, our party was driven into explanations and exouses—nn uncomfortable and unpleasant business at all times, bah ©spe cially so to Demeorats who were unused to suoh language. It was not tho bold and nlanly tone of self-eon soious political reotitude: a difference existed— how oould it be explained ? The people heard, it is true, bub went away murmuring and dissatis fied. -The Opposition, thrice defeated on prinoiple, took courage, pointed to the pledgos of ’56, and the argument against us was complete! Those who felt a deep personal interest in the eleotion.of our distriot ana county nominees went quietly, to the eleotion and voted—others, who lacked this feeling, staid at home. Suoh, briefly, was the character of the present campaign in oar western counties, and the causes that led to the result. ThopoHtloal skeleton Lecompton “would not down,’ however deep it may be buried with its Northern supporters and Byoophants, lately whi ning around the footstool of power, yet the hone3t yeomanry of the country oould, not be persuaded but what there might be treachery again in tbe camp. Confidence onoe abused is thrice incredu lous, and mistrusts its bosom friend, virtue itself. No one doubted .the honesty or sin cerity of the groat maas of the Demooratio party of our distriot, and' our nominee for Congress; but still, those whom tho people had not doubted in ’5B had abused their confidence, and thoy reasoned, that which had been doneonCe oould bo done again. The foot that the Adminis tration and its votaries were making juse of all their power to defeat the gallant Deuglas in Illinois of itself was sufficient to satisfy the people that a new teat—a new doctrine had been espoused. How eould this be explained ? For this there was neither explanation or exouse. Although no open hostili ties existed in our party, yot that feeling of har mony and eonfidenoe was wanted that is always necessary to insure shcoees We were defeated. If we did not deservo it, those whom we bad placed in power did. If the politicians who daily hang around the President in Washington olty can now letthem do so. it will require a ‘credulity worse 1 than ohildish to believe thorn., If the President .stillbelieves that that political idolary that onoe bound us to him yet'" remains, io is. to be pitied, not despised, .If he had listened to the voice of the people; and suoh men osDouglas,'Wise, Walk er,-Stanton, andForney, and nbt the parasites of power, this day 40,000 would not have numbered our majority in Pennsylvania. But so it is: the party must bear,,itseems, the trcaohery of its 'ser vants until they succeed in shaking them off its skirts. Let this be done without further delay, and onoe more the' Hag of Demooraoy,' emblazoned wth the talismanio words “ popular sovereignty” will float proudly triumphant. Yours, <fco. [Correspondence of The Press.] • The result of tho late eleotion in Pennsylvania has a discouraging and diehenrtening effeotupon the faithful band of wire-pullers and 'office-seek ers in this State. Numerous expedients aro re sorted to to cheer on'and inoito the “brethren” to further and moro onergotio efforts In the nobio cause for which they aro laboring. They are told that the Old Keystone is still true to thd‘gro*t principles upon which the Demooratio party is founded, and suoh is evidently true. New Jersey will, without doubt, repudiate tbe Representatives who so willingly, last winter, betrayed tbe trust which tbetr constituents roposed in them;, and they are becoming consoious of it. Not one who voted for Lecompton has a fair ohanco of eleotion. All tbe indications aro that they will be thrown 'uverooaia; mm, us tnuy Begin feel rather { ‘ weak at the knees,” ' * Mr. Adrian’s prospects aro brightening overy day, and even his most bitter enemies admit that the chances are decidedly in his favor. Iu the Fifth district Mr. Wortcndyka and his cohipatriota aro making almost-superhuman efforts to secure his re-election ,* but the perfeot union of the oppo-' sition eloments must eleot their candidate, ex-Go vernor Pennington. Mr. Wortendyke pledged himself, if eleoted, to vote for the immediate ad mission of Kansas, and this course on his part will make the fight more warm and give to him a more united patty. Indood, New Jersey politics were never more intricate than they are now.’ Thq. people here, or a majority of them, have long been in tho tanks of the Domocraoy ,* their sympathies and attach ments have been there; and that party; when right, have always come out of their struggles vic toriously, And this state of things Is wholly at tributable to the suicidal polioy, of the Adminis tration in relation to Kansas, and to those who thought proper to differ from it. Differences can be healed by 1860, if the Government offioials take a moderate course. This is sincerely desired by evory true Demoorat. The educational Interests of New Jersey have long beon nogleoted by her most prominent mon; but a new aqd brighter era bas dawned upon it. Sho bos now a Normal school in operation, con duoted by able and experienced eduoatots, and it is, doing an effective and efficient work. New edifioes are being ereoted in every part of tbe State for eduoattonal purposes. The local appro priations for the same objeot are yearly being in creased, and, in the course of a few yoars, the educational system of the State will be second to no other, and almost unexceptionable. Tho influ ence of the State Normal school lias contributed largely to this result, and the untirlog efforts of its principal, Mr. F. Phelps, have been direoted to the improvement and building up of tho school system, and he has done a noble trork. There aro but few who could have taken this institution and in so short a time brought it up to as high a stand ard as that whioh it now oconpies. Few have tfeb acquirements, and fewer still have the adminis trative ability requisite for the task. C. M. H.

He was highly elated with his > good luck, and in almost breathless haste proceeded T to inform Mr. Drown of what he had done in his name His spirits, however, underwent a change when he was told that the purchase of the lease carried with it a re sponsibilify for the rent-fourteen thousand eight hun dred dollars—and he concluded that, instead of doing a clover thing, he had been exceedingly stupid. Mr. Brown was announced ns the purchaser of the lease in the Ledger , which is explained by the above oircum stauce.

The MaßsaAiifotts had an Irish flag at her peak, and tho Amerioan banner floated over ber prow. Among her pas sengers was Miss Teresa Esmond®, of Brooklyn tho yoqng lady who had promised'to present the flag to the eaptoln of the Albert. On nearing the pier at which the Prince Albert lay, she was greeted by three lond oheers from'the thousands who had assembled around the vessel on .the adja cent piors, and by the numerous passengers mid orew of the Prinoe Albert herself. This was re sponded to by three hearty cheers from the Massa chusetts, and a salute of twenty-one guns. Th# Prince Albert was gaily decked In bunting, both below and aloft, displaying on her misxen Rogers’ American oode of signals, and on her fore and mainmasts the flags of many nations. She saluted the Massachusetts by dipping her ensign and firing a national salute. The steamship Indian Empire, another of the Galway vessels, was also lying at her pier, and took part in the oeremonies. She was gaily dressed in bunting,'also, and hauled out to a con spicuous position at the head of her pier. On salu ting the csoorting steamer, by dipping her colors, the compliment was instantly returned and 1 a cheer given for the Indian Empire—the pioneer of the Galway steamers., The Massachusetts now tonohea at a convonient.pier, and a committee, composed of Colonel Kelly and Captain McMahon, proceeded to the Indian Empire, to whioh invita tions had been extended to acoompany the escort down tho harbor. At two e’olook the 1 Prinoe Al bert left ber pier amid great oheering and the firing of gnns, not only on board herself and her escort, but from various piors on the North river.' These scenes were continued till both vessels ar rived near the British frigate Valorous, whioh sa luted caoh of them by dipping ber flag, and man ning her rigging as they passed her, whioh oom plitnefits were* appropriately reoiprooated by the Mnce: Albert and her esoort. On arriving at quarantine both vessels were SAluted by the Sixty ninth regiment New York State militia, whioh is encamped there.' r The'salate waßa national 6ne, and it was responded to by salutes .of 7 twenty-one guos from both the steamers., When the oaptajn lowered his “gig,” and came over to tho Massa chusetts, he was weloomed with enthusiastiucheers and escorted by Colonel, Kelly to meet Miss Es mond©, who wag very gallantly brought forward by Captain Courtenay and Mr first offioer, Mr. Berroy. After a warm, exchange of salutations, Miss Esmond© raised the flag before Capt.

Pleasant Hill, N- C. t -Oot. 15,' 1858.— Dear Express: In my last communication I promised to give yon the details of evidence elicited in the trial of Jason Franklin, Robert Brinkley, and Al bert Vann, which took place during the fall tern of Gates Superior Court, held at Gatesvilie during the past week, Judge Shepherd presiding. These jhree mon, as I before stated, were arraigned for the murder of an old negro man, about sixty years of age, named Lamb. It.appears that Franklin had hired the old man Lamb daring the year 1857| from his master, and when he was called upon for the monoy, by the oonstable, he declared that if he had the money to pay, the negro should never be of any more sorvice to his master On the last Saturday of August, the three started from the house of Brinkley, declaring their purpose to be to whip old Lamb. Tbejmly witness to the transac tion was a little girl, about oleven years of agej the daughter of Franklin, one of tbe prisoners at the bar. This little girl, tender in years, gave in .her testimony with evident signs of great and were elicited by interrogatories propounded by tbe Solicitor. ' Indeed, she oeonpled a fearful and< solemn position. Surely I need not add that she loved herfather devotedly, for woman lives on af feotion, and that affeotion commences in very ten der years, and it sparkles and shines o’er life’s long way. On one side of her sat her father, bending eagerly forward to oatob every word which fell from thei lips of his young and beautiful daughter. She stood as It were ketweon him and death. What a gloom; gathorod around her! Almost rivers of woe loomed up before her imagination. Her voice grfew tremu lous and low, and wbon asked what participation herfatbor had in this dreadful transaction, she; could no longer restrain her feelings, and hurst into a flood of teatß. The soene was so tonohlng she was allowed to retire, and the proceedings of the oourt were stayed for some time, when tho little girl was again brought back leaning on the arm of a lady friend But there remained for her a cup to drink which was more bitter than all she bad tasted before, and was almost more than her frail frame oould bear. There was a profound stillness in tbe oourt-room as sho approaohed the stand. 1 Were I to paint tbo soene whioh that room' presented, I should make bnt a miserable carica ture. It was not to be painted. There vtere not a few struggles of suppressed emotion among the stern hearts that composed that throng of anxious spectators. She sobbed as she answered the ques tions propounded to her by the Solicitor, and none' knew the anguish of that young and almost break-, ing heart. She, stated, in a suppressed bnt audi ble tone, that the three oame to her father’s house, in the night, and thatßriukley and Vann went to the house of tho negro, commenced cursing him, ‘ and knocked him down with large olubs several! times. They then tied him around the neok and! legs with a rope, and then dragged him one hun-« dred and fifty yards to the front gate, where they 1 tied him aorosa a barrel and buoked him with a stave until ho died. They then untied him, oar-, rled him back to the house of his wife, (the slave' of Franklin,) put a olean shirt on him and placed him in his bed. They hid the bloody barrel and tho staveß in tbe high weeds. They then went: into tbe house of FrankUn, washed their bands, 1 and Vaun requested tbe witness to put some tur- E online on a small soratoh whioh bo had upon his and, saying if anybody asked him how came it there, he intended to say he foil down. They then Went away. There was some slight evidence tending to show that tho defendant Franklin did not desire the slave Lamb to come to his house, and on the evening of the homicide Franklin said that the negro hna said to his children that he had never been whipped by a white man and never intended to be, and from these faots the prisoners’ counsel argued that the negro was insolent and resisted the authority of Franklin to expel him from his premises; that the defendants were in the proseoution of tho lawful aot, and If the slave resisted, they had a right to use as muoh force as was nooessary to expel him, and if they had done nothing more than this they wore gu|lty of no offenoe. Judge Shepherd oharged the jury that there was no evidenoe that the slave was either insolent or that he resisted the authority of Franklin and the bther defendants, and if they believed tho testimony of Cornelia Franklin, the prisoner’s daughter, the prisoners were guilty of mnrder, and nothing else. The prisoners wore ably defended by W.N H. Smith and J Parker Jordon. E. O. Hines, Solicitor for tho first oirouß, prosecuted for the State. Not withstanding the decisive ohargeof the jndge and the positive testimony of Cornelia Franklin, the jury Brought in a .verdict of aoquittal. It mnstbe apparent to alt that this was a very brutal mnrder. The jury based their charge upon the faot that the testimony of the little girl Cornelia/she being so young, was unreliable.. In all consoienoe, they should have bad some excuse for such a verdict. But it is not my purpose to comment upon the evi dence or the voraict, and will, therefore oonolude.
