FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9,1859
Autographs, Authors, and Hooks.
Sit down, in that easy chair, on the other
side of the table, good Mr. Public, and let us
have a chat, a gossip, or whatever else you
may choose to call it, about author; and
books. We may wile away an hour or so, in
that manner, an you will. Hero, in this little
room, almost every inch of its walls covered
with books, a bright face sometimes glancing
among them, in the shape of portraiture, en
graved or photographed—here, in this Sanc
tum, quite at the top of the house, whence,
from its position, attic articles ought to pro
ceed.
Did you ever know that Thomas Carlyle
ever perpetuated the enormous misdemeanor
of verse-making'? What Carlyle / None but
the hard Scotchman, whose life of Schiller,
ere ho invented a difficult language of his own,
Is really a poem in prose, and a wondertbl
contrast to his Life of Frederick the Great,
two more volumes of which are said to bp
nearly ready for the press. So, also, if re
port he true, .are two new volumes of Lord
Macaulay's history of England, bringing his
narrative down to the death of Queen Anne—
known, in her own days, by the unflattering
sobriquet of Brandy Nan, for her spirituous
proclivities. You remember, of course, that
" her most religious and pious Majesty," as
the English liturgy has it, died on the first day
of August, 1714, when the present reigning
House of Hanover, descended from the old
Guelphs, (or Wolfs or Wolper of Swabia, the
first of whom married Charlemagne's sister
Irmentrud about 780,) ascended the English
throne.
Once upon a time, however, Thomas Car
lyle did write a poem, of seven stanzas, each
in four linen. In Ids own autograph, those
verses, entitled "The Beetle," found their
way into the great collection made by the late
Dawson Turner, and the document was dis
posed of, last spring, at the sale of Turner's
autographs, to John Waller, Fleet street, Lou
don, who deals in curiosities of this descrip
tion, and bought five thousand of them on that
distributing occasion. These he has cata
logued, and his agents here, our neighbors
John Pennington & Son, of South Seventh
street, have sent us a copy. The poem was
marked nine shillings, British, about $2, but
was eagerly snatched up by some English col
lector, wo doubt not, within a few days after
it was announced for sale. Here, however,
aro the opening stanzas of Carlyle's poemlet,
" The Beetle :"
"Poor hobbling Beetle. needst not haste.
should Traveller, Tnvelter thus alarm'
Pursue thy journey thro' the was e,
Not foot of mine shall work thee harm.
" Who knows what errand grave thou haat—
. Small family—that have nut dined
Loilaed under uebble, there they fast
Till bead of House have rate's the wind."
That will do !—Say you so 1 Yes, it is
eno.gh to show that Carlyle could not write
even tolerable verses. Absurd, too, Is his mu
tilation of the word through into thro', and his
indefensible abbreviation dratted into retied.
Speaking of Carlyle reminds ono of the Ron
deau which Leigh Hunt wrote upon Carlyle's
wife, once upon a time. Tho lady, it seems,
ban neon excited by Milo news which the
King of Cockaynu and Lord of Rimini had
brought to them, and—but the poem tells it:
"Jenny kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat m ;
Titus, you thief, who torn to get
Sweets Into roar list. put that
Say I'm warm, eity I'm ant,
Say that lieelth and wealth have fumed tun,
Say I'm growing old, but add,
Jenny twined me."
Front Mr. Waller's Catalogue wo also take
a lbw tributary lines by Bernard Barton, the
Quaker l'oet, front a Memorial Sonnet upon
Elizabeth Fey, the practical philanthropist,
also a member of the Society or Friends
"The name, now writ in Heaven. will live on Eatik,
tfo lung as human hearts are left to prize
'that sorting virtue, Whose loop source supplies
Each Christian Grace, a NVonian's highest worth:"
There is a very singular holograph, by the
nay, in this collection, being a note written in
1848 to the Editor of the Ttmcs, by Louis Na
poleon, nun' Emperor of the French, in which
he says : " Sir—• Will you be kind enough to
contadict the report of my intention to be
come a candidate for a seat in the National
Assembly of France 1"
There is here, also, the manuscript of a
poem, by Barry Cot mall, (IL W. Procter,)
in five six-line stanzas, entitled " Hens Divi
nior." The opening stanza Mlle thus :
“.I.nVe IS born in
And is bred in sorrow,
Cloudy day In-Jai :
Funshiny to-morrow—
Changing through each season
Without any :moo."
TlOre, too, is a bit of adulation by the Rev.
George Crabbc, to the flunons Lady Jersey,
once the Beauty par excellence of the first
twenty years of this century. It shows the
poet awkward at compliment, and is dated
March 4th, 1814—the lady's birth-day:
"A beauty's Birthday—Heaven end Earth,
What can I say of Beauty s birth ;
I one those charm., that voice 1 heir,
But went mien eye, and dull mine ear,"
and so on through seven pages, octavo. It'
Beauty's penalty was often to read such
rhymes, Lady Jersey woe not much to be en
vied, after all.
Them is here a letter, from Allan Cunning
ham the poet, to John Murray the publisher,
which seemly says of Garrick, the actor,
" that the rich and titled lavished then their
tens of thousands on a shallow man, whose
chief merit lay in making months at Shako
perm" An overhard opinion, for Garrick, in
dependent of his actingot hid) tradition re
ports to have been wonderfully effective, was
swell educated, made the best epologues and
prologues in his day, and wrote several drama
' tic places, which still hold their places as
acting plays.
Chat:lea Sackville, Earl of Dorset. one of
the wits and revellers of the Court of Charles
11, of upon Macaulay says that in the midst
of his follies and vices his courageous
his line understanding, and his natural good
ness of heart, had been conspicuous," will be
remembered, in English literature, as author
of the fine lyric "To all ye Ladies now on
Land." Mr. Waller has " Another New
Song to Clitoris, from the Blind Archer," oc
cupying one page 4to, and affeeted as being in
Sackville's autograph, by no less it person
than Alexander Pope, the poet. In all proba
bility it is an unpublished song, as we do not
find it in the collection of Sackville's poems
to which we have ref( rred. It commences
" Oh: Clitoris. tie new to digarni ) our bright ()ace,
And lay by Omen terrilito glances;
We live in an ago that'. more ei‘ a and wise
Timm to follow the rules of Romances."
We are going through the Catalogue in al
phabetical order, which perhaps, may excuse
its to Mrs. Hewitt, a rely proper living poet,
fur placing her next to such a loose flah as
Lord Dorset. Hero is an autograph of hers.

Then wherefore had they birth
To minister delight le man,
To beautify the earth,
" To comfort HMI. to whisper hope
Whenct'or lop faith is dim,
For whose eereth for the flowers

Nest comes Walter Savage Lander, quite
old enough, dear Mr. Public, to be great grand
site to many of your numerous family—seeing
that he is in his eiglity4llll year. We have a
quatrain here—short and sweet :
" Ten ill's alone, these intervene,
Between your natal day,
And mine. 0 "lose, yet we between
What years have rolled away."
A commonplace thought, a mere truism, yet
gracefully expressed.
Dere is a letter from poor Dr. Magian, ad
dressed to It. Valpy, editor of the Regent
Classics. It is a model of brevity, yet full of
inntter t , Dear Sir, the articles to which I
alluded are in Vol. 81, p. UN, Classical Cri.
Deism,' and in Vol. 31, p. 131, r On Ilende
casyllabie Measures.' Ihey are in all ten
pages," It is dated 21th March, 1827, Just
three years after he had gone to reside in
London.
Here, among letters addressed to Dean
Mlles, who vindicated thu authenticity of
Rowley's Poems, is an original autograph frag
ment of a Poem by Chatterton, certified as
authentic by the Dean, and commencing thus:
" boa age, with tott'ring steps. and slow.
Crown'd with a crown of motintain snow •
Viewing the Leurcated Tomb
Where Ila)a incessanth shall bloom."
There, gentle Mr. Public, be satisfied, for
ono day, with this gleaning. Some other
time, n•hen the humor comes, and opportunity
brings us together once again, wo shall have
another talk about the autographs and authors.
Seventeenth and Nineteenth+Streets
city Passenger Railway.
For The Press.)
Railways have been springing up of late in our
beautiful and highly,faverftl city, Co much as if by
magic; and so rapid and remarkable has been their
multiplication, that a superficial observer has found
it somewhat difficult to keep pace with the march
of improvement in this respect. Among the city
railways that have recently gone into operation,
the Seventeenth and Nineteenth-streets route
claims, in my humble opinion, especial commenda
tion. The writer of this article rode over the route
today, and was highly gratified with the enter
prise and liberality displayed in every department
of the road. The care aro decidedly the neatost
and handsomest in use on any mai In the city,
eah oar being furnished with a clock ; the horses
are ail of the best sort, and the employees are un
usually attentive and obliging.
The route begins at Master street and Seven
teenth, running south through Seventeenth, down
to Carpenter, and returning north, up Nineteenth,
back to Master. This is the only road loading di
rect from Chestnut street to Girard College. It oz.
changes tickets with all the reads that run cast and
west, viz : Spruce and Pine, Walnut and Chestnut,
West Philadelphia, Arch, Race and Vino, Green
and Coates, and Girard Avenue, and forms a direct
connection with Ridge Avenue and Manayunk.
This road passes through a section of the city
which is rapidly improving, and to that improve•
went will no doubt itself largely contribute). The
city owes its construction to the enterprise and
public.ipiritedness of N. F. Campion, Re l ., the
president, who has richly earned the weed of pub.
lie gratitude tbr having projected and consummated
the system of oily passenger railways.

The President evidently misapprehended the
opinion to which he referred. There is no such
doctrine to bo found in it, either in word nr by any
fair inference. 1F * * The President's
mistake is in converting the absence of en authori
ty to prohibit it, which was all that the wart held,
into the existence of a right, by virtue of the, Con
stitution, to hold unquestioned by Territorial
power, slave property in a Territory. The error,
when pointed nut, is so obvious that it must be at
once corrected, to the conviction of the merest
dullard. * *
Ills (the Attorney (leneral's) defence, to be sure.
Is not such as gives the President credit for legal
acuteness. * * To vindicate the President
by displaying his ignorance. may be the only vindi

to the candor of his friend (Judge ro n do th an t o
the President's intelligence. * * It may he
acute (Jidge Blsok's Appendix). but it defies ordi
nary comprehension. To such it must appear to
be but the technicality of a special pleader pushed
to the very verge at host of quibbling. *

'rue. Nagavaa.r. Toraornx.—The Nashville Cra•
:rue, of Thursday, publishes the evidence in the
ease of Allen A. Hall for killing 0. 0. Poindox•
ter, in that city, last Friday week. This is the
substance, in brief On the morning of the pub
lication of hall's card, Poindexter told W. C.
Wittlehorne, at the breakfast table, that •' it was
pretty tight," and it was necessary to take some
notice of it. Poindexter asked his friend if he
knew If all—that ho did not; Wittleborne was stir.
prised that they were unacquainted ; described
llall, and finally agreed to accompany Poindex
ter to Hall's Offline,. Poindexter told him he was
undeehiel whether to slap, or *take flail with his
umbrella. This witness stated that it was Poin
dexter's intention to make a simple assault, by way
of demonstrating his feelings. Poindexter woe
very nearsighted tin I could not distinguish an oh•
joct clearly at a distance greater than furtyor fifty
feet. Another witness said he thought Poindexter
was not ads inning when he was Mob One of the
editors of the :Vries stated that ho procured the
gun which inflicted the fatal Eliot at Italia request.
and carried it to the office on Thursday night Ile
did not know that Ball hod then written his de
nunointory card, but un•lerstood the gun ins to be
tI4Cd in self-defence. Witnesses' differed as to
whether Poindexter's pistol was drawu when he
fell. It was shown that Ilan was a peaceable roan,
and that Poindexter was firm and decided, and
would seek redress at till hazards when his honor
was assailed. 110 was bold and chivalrous, and
would incur any risk rather than submit to wrong
But he was morbidly sensitito upon questions at
feeling his honor.
Tae. LAST DIN'S OF WASHINGTON Invisu.—N
P. Willis, In the Home Journal, after gising an
account of the last days and funeral of Washington
Irving, says :
"Mr. In ing had been for some time aware of
the uncertain tenure of ids life—with the disease
at his heart which has now ended it no suddenly.
He fully anticipated an Instantanoons stopping of
the fluttering pulse. and was, therefore, careful
never to he left alone—but ho talked cheerfully of

(Mr. Grinnell,) was one of our party when the be
loved author accompanied us on a visit to 'Sleepy
Ballow , ' two year , ' ego, in privileged day, which
I described in the Home Journal at the time,) and
he recalled to my mind the penittar unhesitating
ness with which Mr. In leg pointed out to ui, as
wo rode part in the carriage, the old church which
was his family burying ground. 'Zr IN SOON ro BE

tone of en habitual thought, 'lnd returning imme

°anus; or inn Tfrmn '•OL.n poqmos,: ' , ..-:There
are comparatively few who are aware of the origin
of the term -OW Dominion," which has long
awl generally been applied to Virginia. It origi
lusted Om:
During the protectorate of Cromwell, the colony
of Virginia refused to acknowledge his authority,
add declared itself Independent. Shortly after,
when Cromwell threatened to send a fleet and army
to reduce Virginia to subjection, the alarmed Vic•
giniane sent a messenger to Charles 11, who wee
then an exile in Flanders, inviting him to return
in the ship with the messenger, and bo King of
Virginia Chance accepted the invitation, and
was on the point of embarkation when he wee
called to the throne of England. As FOOD as he
was fairly seated on his throne, in gratitude for
the loyalty of Virginia, he caused her cost of armo
to be quartered with those of England, Ireland.
and Sootland, as nn independent member of the
empire, a distinct portion of the "Old Dominion."
Donee arose tho origin of the term Copper coins
of Virginia were issued as late no the ridge of
George 111, which bore on ono side the coat of
arras of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Virginia.
SIGNOR Menlo FIGHTING d DUEL.—A. Madrid
letter says : •• The brutal treatment which Madame
Grist has experienced at the hands of the high.
born, well-bred, potato•hurling, howling audience
which frequents the Italian opera here, hasqlven
rise to much recrimination. Signor Mario ha•
naturally resented these gross and brutal insult.
on a holy whose former fame should have secured
her an immunity at least from an insult. But in
WO remonstrances ho has been met by the remark
that, during the hey-day of her prosperity,
Ma
d&lns risi disdained to accept any of the brilliant
offers of the Madrid managers. and that she onl y
does so now, when her cracked and broken voice
fails to procure any price in the market. Many
angry discussions has o arisen on this matter, and
t,t list they have resulted iu n duel which came old
yesterday. The principals were Signor Mario and
Seiler San Miguel, the director of the Principe
Theatre. After several passes, and both combat-
ants were wounded, the one in the face, the other
in the arm, the twonds interfered, nod the booey
of both was declared soot free. Neither has
been seriou.ly hurt; indeed. Signor .Mario would
ho able to sing again next week, were his services
reluired, but he will decline ever again to sing in
this capital."

SKETCH OF THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES
OF CAPTAIN SAMUEL BRADY.
ICONTINVED. I
!For The Press.]
Some limo during the veer 1779 Brady set out
from Fort Mclntosh for Pittsburg. Ile had with
him two of his trusty and well-tried followers.
These wore not attached to the regular army. as
they were but serving in the capacity of scouts or
spies. They had been with him upon many an ex
podition. They were Thomas Bevington and Ben
jamin Biggs ; (the latter was with him at the caps
tare of Cot. John Franklin in 1797.) Brady re
solved to follow the northern bank of the Ohio.
Biggs objected to this upon the ground, as Brady
well know, that the woods were swarming with
savages. Brady had made up his mind to travel
by the old Indian path, and having ones resolved
upon a given line of conduct, no consideration of
personal safety or peril could deter him from carry
ing out his resolve. Bevington had each implisit
faith in his ability to lead that he never thought of
questioning his will.
Quite a discussion arose between Biggs and his
captain at the month of Beaver river, about a mile
above the fort, and where the most eligible oppor
tunity occurred of crossing the Ohio unless they
cheso to continue their march upon the northern
shore. Biggs finally yielded his obLeotioni, and
they proceeded , after having crossed Beaver river
with the habitual caution of woodsmen, who fully
understood their avocation. They had started
early, and by as rapid travelling as they could ef-
Coot, consistent with the vratchfulnese they were
forced to exorcise, they had by noon reached the
last piece of bottom land on the north aide of the
river, just below what is now known as the Ncr
rowe
Upon this bottom a pioneer, more daring thap
ethers, had built a cabin and opened a spot of
cleared land. lie hail planted dt In corn, and it
gave promise of a rich harvest. As the scouts
approached the edge of the clearing Just outside of
the fence, Brady discovered Indian signs." His
companions detected them almost as quickly as V e,
and at erne they began in low tones to diner's the
appearances thus manifested. They concluded at
once that a keen watch was necessary. Slowly
they trailed these signs along - the fence toward the
house. They knew the situation of this house well.
fir they had frequently stopped at It since it had
bean built. They trailed along until they reached
the brow of the bluff bank which overlooked lt.
A sight of the west terrible description met
their eyes. The cabin lay a mass of (mouldering
ruins, whence in the clear sansbine a dull blue
smoke arose. They observed closely everything
about it Bduly knew it was customary for the
Indians, immediately attar they Wired a sittler's
cabin, if there was no immediate danger, to retire
to the two-xis close at bend, and watch for the ap
proach of any member of the family. who might

Not knowing that they were not lying dose by, ho

make discoveries, and Biggs to the southward
Both were to return to Bevington if they found no
Indians. If they one mitered the perpetrators,
end they were too numerous to be attacked openly.
Brady avowed his purpose of hawing one fire a•
them, and that should serve as a signal for b of
hie followers to make their way to Fort Pitt as ra
pidly as possible.
All this transpired within a few moments, and
with Brady to decide was to.act. Ac he stole cau

that it was the voice of a white man. As it came
