The Arbeinal Kingdom Illustrated.*
Were any person over twelve years old to be
found who had not beard of " Peter Parley," it
would be a paying speculation to introduce him to
Mr. Barnum, in order that he might be exhibited
in a glass ease, side by side with the man who, up
to the mature ago of fifty, bad never road one of
the Waverley Novels. Mr. S. G. Goodrich, a
New-Englander, is now in his sixty-seventh year,
a healthy old age, and has accomplished more ac
tual authorship, since 1827, when his first volume
of "Tales by Peter Parley" was published, than
any other writer now alive. The recapitulation
in his autobiography is really in itself a curiosity
of literature. He has published a hundred and se
venty volumes, of which a hundred and sixteen bear
the well-known name of Peter Parley. This nom
de plume was popular, and about fifty Spurious
volumes were manufactured and published under
that name in England. A little more authicious
even than this was the Issue, at various planes in
the United States, of between thirty liall'forty
voluthes as Peter Parley's, not one line, of saki'
Mr: Goodrich ever wrote, and some of Whfcb, in
deed, he never eat eyes neon.
The net amount of information which Mr.
Goodrich has communicated, in his numerous
books, to young people, and frequently to adults,
cannot be estimated. We scarcely err in saying
that the present generation owes a great deal of its
acknowledged intelligence to the writings of " Pe
ter Parley."
Mr. Madrid closes his career with a work the
most complete ever written upon the subject which
it illustrates. In two volumes, imperial Bvo.,
ho presents en Illustrated Natural History of the
Animal Kingdom. From Man, to whom the Cre
ator gave dominion over all other beings, down to
the minntest aninialculto, every living creature is
treated of in this work. It is popular, because,
though systematic, it is not pedantic. It classifies
and describes, and these descriptions, studded with
numerous anecdotes, and other graphic relations,
are really full of life and poetry, A more !seal
na ting and readable work no man need• desire.

favored. Life, 'whether in air, earth, or ocean, Is

also describes the fossil animals of °twitches. Yet
more; one especial object of the work is to view the
Animal Kingdom with its relation, to Agriculture,

Mr. Goodrich, who dedicatee, by permission, to
Louis Agassis, has devoted the labor of years tette
ommposition. The publishers, (Derby dr. Jackson,)
who are among the most liberal and enterprising
of "the trade" in, New York, have expended
$30,000 in producing the volumes with the beautiful
completeness which characterises them.
When holiday-gifts are so freely flying about,
we would suggest that this work would be a choke
present to a whole, household— parents, children,
and collatesals. The vast nipount of information,
here blended with enter tallunent, essentially snakes
it a Household work. It is equally adapted fur the
private library. With these volumes, then, "Pe

The long delay in the organization of the Na

hate, and fierce threats of " secesalan " If' certain
ardent gentlemen aredleappointed, have attracted
so mach attention to Weshington ; that it is almost
forgotten we have a local Congress of our own to
meet here in two weeks from Tuesday next. One
thing is certain—the Opposition to the Democracy
will not have so much difficulty in electing their
efficere for organization hero as they aro LOW ex
perieneingat the National Capital ; for the Demo
area's party has dwindled away in Ponnsylvenia
until it numbers scarcely one-third of either the
Senate or the Rouse. For the first time in twenty
years the Opposition have an overwhelming ma
jority in both branches of the Legislature, and this
interesting event was reserved for the time when a
Pennsylvania, President la conducting tho affair's
of the nation, and holding in his bands the des

who are even uncharitable enough to attribute this
state of political affairs to the favorite son."
Governor Packer has returned from Lycomlog
county, looking much the bettor of his fortnight's
deer hunt. I am told that hip party were very
sueoessful In the chase, and succeeded In slaying
quite a number of fat old bucks. Ile is now busily
engaged in preparing veto messages, and, when
the Legislature meets, will send In upwards of
twenty bills, with Iffs reasons for withholding his
signature. It has beers a habit of the Legislators
for years to passe large batch of inconsiderate hills
on the very last slay of the louden, and the Exams
tires not having time to consider them, some
Governors have been weak enough to lot them be
come a law (if they could not approve them) by
letting the time elapse without sending in a veto.
But Governor Packer announced In his inaugural,
that, during his administration, any bill he could
not approve of would be disapproved el% Renee

it was proposed to make them laws, notwithstand-

Letter from Lewisburg.
(Correspondence of The Press 3
Mn. Entron : Once more do I find myself in the
substantial go.abead town of Lewisburg. During
ray absence I have learned the feet that there
are few other places of Its size possessed of eque
advantages in any respect:
While travelling through New York State, 4
noticed several towns, the styles of the buildings of
which displayed a better taste in Me originatonthari
do those of this borough; but nowhere havo I ob•
served greater energy of character than is mini.
felted hero. • But fur convenlenee of Situation and
beauty of surrounding ooMiry, in my estimation;
Lewisburg stands without a rival.
Lewisburg is aceessible from all points by well , '
conducted railroads. Six years ago the old stagn
coach, or the still more tedious packet, was the
only mode of travelling known to the inhabitants of
this fertile valley. I shall forget tbeouriositp nevex
evinced by a young man of considerable intern.,
genre, to know bow a railroad was tionStrueted;
and what kind of a looking thing" a locomotive
was. Thanks to the enterprise of l'enasylvauittnsi
there is, et present, but little of snob curiosity
existing in this region of country.
The earns ignorant curiosity was manifested
during the erection of the gas works in this plate.:
Crowds of curious men were to be seen here and
there about town, trying to fathom the mystery of
the moduz operandi of conveying the gas from the
works to the afferent houses,* and it was not a
little amusing to I'u ten to the d 'Oren t opinions each
one had concerning the matter. Of coarse, It wad
only the more ignorant who thus exposed them
selves to rho unseen ridicule of their wiser neigh=
hors. dud thus it is: the law of progress is the
law of our country, and step by, step conservative
ignorance receded before progressive troth. ItIS
no longer true that the sou marches in the footstep!
of his tattier, but new paths are opened which our
fathers never saw.
I am satisfied that the great masses of people
living in large cities are not aware of the thrift and
enterprise which are to be found In the Inland
towns of our beautiful State. Who, knowing of
these, would be willing tobe pent up in and breathe
the impure atmosphere of a large city during the
hot summer months ? Is there aoy ueceeeity for
this since populous towns and beautiful villages ar
so numerously scattered throughout the State ?

Mr. Editor, you may imagine the surprise of us
Lowishurgians when we were informed that an or
ganisation for the sworn porpotte of avenging John
Brown existed in our midst. It is needless for me
to say that such a thing bad not even a visionary
existence. A wore loyal and Union-loving com
munity than this can novitiate be found,.
Polities is not now the uppermost thought in the
minds of the people. Ail eyes are turned to the
settlement of the Harper's Ferry difficulty, which
now hangs so darkly and threateningly over our
land ; and I am sure that, rather than see this
Ijition dissolved, there would not be wanting,
here, strong arms and brave hearts to perpetuate
that whist no man nor combination of men has a
right to destroy. I believe that this Union, untar
nished by the mildew of discord, belongs no less to
posterity, and to the world, than to us. And
rather than be the subjects of the curses of
millions yet unborn." we should cheerfully lay
down our lives in its defence. suoh are the sen
timents which Inspire millions of breasts in our
country to-day. T. P. C.

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.
Gov. Wise ON Tun UNION. -9 Richmond (e.)
oorreepoodont of the Now York Heroics . says:
4 . I was present, to-day, at a converiuttlen be
tween Gov. Wise And several members of the Le..
gislature, ou 8111001,9 relating to the ilArper'e
Perry outbreak. One of the Lumbers asked the
4Sovernor whet ho thought of the talon now. The
Governor's reply was, that he beileve..l it to be as
ottung, at ever. The member, in utter surprise,
naked hint to ata to his reasons for ibis strange belief.
The Governor said that there were elements enough
still existing to hold the Union together; that the
relations of these, elements to each other were of a
character so strong and abiding as to render their
severance next to impiveible. The Union WAS, be
said, growing too last, and a temporary check or
difficulty, such as the present agitation seems to
present, was inevitable; but be believed that, in
ten years, the Union would be stronger and more
consolidated than it ever has been.
" Every man present looked Intently one at the
other, enabling evident tokens of satisfaction at
this unespeutott Ilt ethetiou. diet, continued the
tiovernor, these results rest in a greet measure
with you ; and then ho proceeded to point out the
necessity of carrying out the various recommenda
tions made in his message Ile condemned a the
supreme of folly and pusillanimity the getting
op of this agitation in Congress upon the
(IMO MPS ble :MI6 of Helper's tool, and intima
ted his entire distrust of any countervailing legis
lation that may now be resorted to by Virginia.
As to commerce between the States, which this
legislation was detigned to affect, this, he said,
teas a an6Jett for Congress to deal with. Tho
imposition tf heavy imposts upon goods imported
from the North would avail but little to c h e ek im
portations from that source, in the abenre of .1.-
ciletsel for carrying on aft/raps trade and horns
inatinforturre. The result of this so nailed coun
tervailing measure would be to increase the price
of articles upon the constuner. Ile seemed to re
gard all resorts of this character as fruitless. This
thing of (Breed trade he looked upon as needing
many preliminaries which Virginia still lacked.
!for internal improvements should first be finished,
anti then there was need of ships and capital. lie
presented the disadvantages under which Virginia
now labors, in the absence of those means, to give
efficacy and fume to the countervailing measures
now contemplated, and urged these defioiencies
and their effects now as arguments in favor of the
speedy completion of the public works of the
State."

Mons. Ile adds that there lasi good deal of ex
ottani:at at the South, sensed principally by the
reception of anonymous letters in almost every
village and city, In which the writers stated
that on the sight of the day Brown wan hung
said cities and towns would be destroyed by Are;
this, together with the arrest of a few persons
caught tampering with slaves and the destruction
of considerable property by fire, believed to be in.
condiary, has caused great vigilance, and in many
I cases saspicions persomethave been arrested ami.
' closely questioned, and In some cases the indivi
duals have deemed it expedient to leave for the
North. A partner in a New York jobbingthense
was advised to leave Columbus, Ga., for the rea
son that he carried with him *sermon of Beecher's
upon Harper's Ferry, which he took paths to en
dorse, and also to nay that he approved of John
Brown's foray. Such being his sentiments, freely
expressed, in season out, a committee waited
on him to the depot, wh ere he procured a through
ticket to New York; but any gentleman that
attends to his own business, provided it is legiti
mate, and keeps aloof from politics and local
matters which do not concern bum, is not molested.
Through the acts of politicians, for the purpose of
making party capital, the fears of the people of the
South have been en wrought upon that they
honestly think that the whole North is opposed
to them, and determined to drive than to the
abolishing of slavery."

however, abide by the decision of the Convention
on the Vioe Presidency, but threw away her vets

President, and Richard M. Johnson, of-Kentucky,
for Vice President- In Hay ) , 1840, the third
Convention wet held. Mr. Van Buren was
nominated for re-election ; but no selection of
Vice President was made. The Democrats
all voted for Richard IL. Johnson, except
