I went into tho Cathedral during, tho continu
ance of the ceremony, and havo heard the great
organ. I was never moro disappointed in my
life. It is'disagreeably, ldud and harsh. The
lower ,key£ aro afithiiiatio, and tho higher sol
on edgo. Itmust f ,bo played vory.dif
forenily on sot occasions, or travellers never could
fall into ecstasies ovor such sounds as I heard.
I left Fribourg for Berno about twolvo' o’clock,
diverging from the high rciad to visit the honni*
tnge of la Madelaine, about an hour from tho former
place. This is n curious excavation of chapels,
chambers, stables, Ac., in the living rook hanging
high over tho rlvor Sarine, in a most wild and
aocluiled place. I hare no there is many a
romantic story connected Afcih. this hermitage,
which was tho work of two wen alone; in tho year
1670. As it has no endowment, it has long since
been abandoned by hormits, and is now occupied
by a poor gardonor, who, having' no' family, has
taken up his solitary.abodo In one of its little
rooms. X lost myself anaong tho wckmlb and.glens
. of this .wild place, and was obliged to take a
peasant to put me again on tho high road.
In passing through tho village of Laupinl found
them all in thbir holiday attire—booth! and oako
stands all about, like ono of our fair days; a
tawdry altar -erected outside tho church, cm
blazoned with all sorts of incongruities, and tho
military* marching, drossed in tho' ancient Swiss
costume, which, was. quite Btriking : end unique.
Four halbordlors, with .chnp.oaus 'and-. towering
plumes of white and, red h wfth
ayound their-necks, • and a Spanish costumo' of
black and orange, in harloquia stripes, preceded*
the company, who were dressed in bluo and orahgo;
‘ coats,* white and; blaok gaiters, with
tremendous bcar-skih caps, from which a piece of
red oloth, embroidered with gold, hung downbo*,
hind. I was much interested and amused at. all I
saw, and the villagers seemed to regard myforeign
appoaranoo with the same degree of curiosity. It
was a curious ’sight ati I entored tho long, low
room of tho auborgo, paoked with men and women,
and'tbocasements hermetically closed; forif there
is anything in the world tho Swiss- droad, it is a
current! They!eon stand any quantity or qualityi
of. smells, but’h'littlo fresh air from au open;
window, makes them norvoua. Horo were mon,
and their wives and mothers, lads' and . lasses, in :
their b'yightest coßtumcs, all in thohoydayof eu
joymont—not\o( a noisy, Bacchanalian character,
but hearty, simple, and truo—and though nil wore
taking wine or beer, none seemed, to bo unduly in
fluenced thoroby.

to many by its lator associations, his cidqueiidd and!

characteristic fearlessness in proclaiming .wliat

overwhelming congregation, it wad in thisohurch,
and, iM mistake not, under the auspioos of Dr.
Staughton, that was ;first introduced tho mode of
baptizing by immersion within tho walls of ft build
ing.; For this piirpdSo a largo marblo tank was
openod on theso occasions in front of the pulpit, and
tho neophyte immorsod in the presence of tho con
gregation, thus avoiding tho exposuro incident to
inolomont woather, when tho ordinanoo was ad
ministered in running streams, out in tho open
air. Tho plAu then introduced has since been very
generally adopted. Dr. Staughton continued many
yonra pastor of this church. Ho was also, in tho
eourso of his tong and useful life, Principal of the
Baptist Theological Institute, in this city, the
first corresponding secretary to tho flaptist: Board
of Foreign Missions, and President of Columbia

iCorrespondence of The TresS.i *'
t ■• PiTTSBtmO, Juno 30, 1809.
Believing it id bs tbe duty of all good citizens to
expose error and defeat the plans of designing
politicians, t, tnko pleasure in exposing the true
meaning of two artioles which have recently, ap
peared in the \Pitteburg Post, favoring the nomi
nation’of James Buchananht Charleston. ,
Certain JottoT-writers for tho* Eastern press have
oesorWa thai the authoT 'of these papers is Attor
ney General 'Black; others, that. Mr. Buchanan,
having altered his detettnipation not to be. a candi
date for ro-clcotiqfc, has 1 'selected the Post as tho
proper organ through which to make public this
anncftiifcepient. There is not the least semblance
of-truth in either of theso stories. Because the
distinguished Attorney GonOral is so profuse of
Shakspcore, it has been presumed that tnb first, ar
ticle was bis, asjt was interspersed by, several apt
S notations from the great Bard.As well might it
ave bfccn attributed to tbe prolific pen of'Wm.
H. 1 Bmith, Esq., '(former editor nf tho Posr A .who
has read Shakspearc, as well, as Judge-Blacky and
to nd little advantage to himself and tho commu
nity at lftfrfd/ , ',
■ with a full knowledgo of tho facts, I.canposi
tivoly saV that Judge B< la not the author, nor had
J. B. tho slightost intimation that his vanity
Was ftuddt W bo flattered, until hb read the
Post containing; tho artwles referred to. But
tho editor, James O. Bttffj Esq(.-* desirous of feeling
tho pnlso of the party, .threw out the twocoiumnsof
honeyed ; words which - have tickled-the President
-Over sinoe, and has satisfied, his iown mind that
there.exista a,decided ayersidn to J. .B.’s nomina
tion, oten amongst his professed friends. * ThoW>ro
positidn-hos found no response in tho hearts of tho
pooplo, and no newspaper, thus far, has defended
if As a proof of tho UnjpopulaHty of J. B. for the
nomihAtion, tho opponents of his polioy have but to
point to the reoopnon.byith© publio of * huge joke
porpotratod unwittingly, by -the editor of, the
Pittsburg' Post; (who may yet find it to bo-an ox;
pensive ono to him.) to tost tho sincerity of B.’s
.politioal (D believe ho has, no personal) frionds,
.whoso friendship wanes as his Administration draws
to a’alose. . ’
Robert Mor has issued another, address, ns
whioh he discusses the naturalization question Bo
abominably attended to in tho Lb Clorc letter of
Mr. Cosfis. OurGonnnn and Irish Democracy are
disgusted with this last attempt to-pateh up this
blunder of Cass in Uia doUgo, and it will bo a mat
tor of great difficulty to get them to vote tho Dc
mocratTe ticket at the coming election. - They feel
that tho Administration, would b ftve strictly odhor
