The English newspapers announce the death of the Marquis of Dalhousie. Ho was in his. forty-eighth year, and oven had he never filled any office but 'that 'of Governor-General .of India, deserves some palising notice in TirE Puss, which has a great many Scottish readers. The family name of the Dalhousie family is Ramsay, and the popular belief is that it is of German descent. It has been of note, in Scotland, since the time of King David the First, during whose reign (A. D. 1140), one Simon de Ramsay, of Dalhousie, in !didlo- ' thian, was subscribing witness to a grant the church of Livingston, in West Lothian., Tho document is preserved to this day. lioai-• ly two centuries later, in the closing year or the reign of King Robert the Bruce, flourished Alexander Ramsay, described as ce of Delon ale," which shows that the family retained the old property. This Ramsay is well known in Scottish history as Warden of the Middle Marches, and was knighted by Bruce for' his loyalty and bravery. Robert Bruce died in 1829, and his sceptre passed into the hands of hie son, called David 11., then aged only five years. Sir Alexander Ramsay, who was con tinued in commission, had obtained such a high reputation from his daring conflicts with the English, that to be of his band, in those days of Border warfare, was considered as the best way for cadets of high Scottish houses to obtain the best instruction in arms. In 1832, Sir Alexander took the Castle of Roxburgh by escalade, and was rewarded by being appoint ed its Constable. He died, by famine, exactly tea years later. Imprisoned in a dungeon in the Castle of Hermitage, he was left there without food. Ina loft above him, however, was a large heap of corn, and with the grains which dropped through the crevices in the floor, he contrived to sustain life, in a misera ble manner r for seventeen days. John Ramsay, a lineal descendant of this gallant man rescued James VI., of Scotland, (cc the wisest fool in Christendom,") from the Gowrie conspiracy in 1600, and was rewarded by being elevated to the peerage as Lord Ramsay, of Barns, and Viscount Haddington. After King James descended the British throne, he created him Earl of Holdernesse, In the peerage of England. Dying in 1636, without issue, his honors perished with him. After obtaining his English . Earldom, how ever, he had surrendered his Scottish barony and lordship of Melrose to his elder brother, George Ramsay, and their combined interest effected its erection into the free Barony of Melrose, with right of succession to male heirs. A charter of 1618 makes the title Lord Ramsay of Melrose; but it was subse quently changed, by a letter from the King, to Lord Ramsay, of Dalhousie. His eldest son and successor was created Earl in 1683. The groat-great grandson of this first Earl married Miss Mania, niece of the fourth Earl of Panmure, and George, the eighth Earl, succeeded, on the demise of his maternal uncle, William Maul; Earl of Panmure, (in the Irish Peerage,) to the very extensive es tates of the Menlo flu:kitty These he was to hold for life, with remainder, according to marriage settlement, to his second son, born in October, 1771. The elder son, George Ramsay, born in 1770, became ninth Earl of Dalhousie in 1787, at which time he was an officer in the British army. Ile fought all through the Peninsular War, under Wellington; was made Major- General in 1813, and particularly distinguish ed himself at Waterloo. For his military services ho was made Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, placed in the British peerage as Baron Dalhousie of Dalhousie Castle, and received the thanks of Parliament. Soon after he was appointed Lieutenant-Go vernor of Nova Scotia, and, in 1819, was made Gevernor-General of British North America. In 114U4 ho founded the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec. Ho subse quently planted Wolfe's plain with oats, claiming that field as a sort of gubernatorial glebe. This gave rise to the sarcastic epi gram " Some men love honor, Other men love mate; Here Wolfe reared laurels,— Lord Dalhoasio, oats. In 1829 ho was appointed commander-In chief of the forces in India, and died In March 1888. Of the three sons of this nobleman, James Andrew Ramsay, born 22d April 1812, was the youngest. The eldest died, unmarried, in 1232 ; the second in 1817. James An drew became Lord Ramsay by his elder bro ther's death, and was studying at Oxford at the time, where ho was fourth class in Classics, and graduated in 1838. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Parliamen tary representation of Edinburgh in 1886, but was M. P. for Haddlngtonshire, from 1837 until his accession to the British peerage in March 1838. Lord Dalhousie's politics were of that class designated Liberal-Tory. His ability and tact so favorably impressed the late Sir Robert Peel that he appointed him Vice Pre sident of the Board of Trade in 1848, and had him sworn in as Privy Councillor. In De cember in 1846, he was also made Lord Clerk Register of Scotland—he had previously been appointed Colonel of the Tower Hamlet's mi litia, and it was understood that to him, 'un like other British noblemen in the public ser vice; the emoluments of office were of consi derable importance, from the small amount of his hereditary property. His father had be come a poor peer, by the Mania property passing to his next brother, and though the estate of Colstoun, in Haddingtonshire, came to him by his marriage with Miss Brown, an heiress, its value was not very great. The Peel Ministry was dissolved, in June 1846, by the resignation of its chief. Lord Dalhousie had displayed so much practical good sense at the Board of Trarle,'(in the Pre sidency of which he succeeded Mr. Gladstone in 1846,) that he was regarded with respect by all'parties. Lord John Russell, who suc ceeded Peel, retained Lord Dalhousie at the Board of Trade. In the summer of 1847, the Russell Cabinet received Lord Hardinge's re signation of the Viceroyalty of India, and, anxious to propitiate Sir Robert Peel, who thought very highly of Lord Dalhousie, the vacant office was offered to his Lordship and accepted, in August, though he did not leave England until November. He reached Cal cutta on January 12th, 1848. His administration, which continued from 1848 to 1856, was successful and popular. He annexed ths Punjaub, and developed the resources of British India. , For this he was made Knight of the Thistle, in 1848 ; Major- General of the Royal Archers, (the Queen's body guard in Scotland) and, in 1849, was elevated to the rank of Marquis of Dalhousie, of Dalhousie Castle and tho Punjaub, and re ceived the thanks of Parliament and the East India Company. On the death of the Duke of Wellington, (September, 1852,) Lord Dal housie was appointed to succeed him as War den and Keeper and Admiral of the Cinque Ports :—a sinecure of considerable value. Returning to England in 1856, it appeared that Lord Dalhousie had not "feathered his nest" as well as preceding Indian Viceroys had done. The Governor-Generalship of India is by far the richest office under the British Crown, variously estimated at from $200,000 to $BOO, 000 a year. The expenditure is necessarily great, but it has always been believed that six years occupancy of this office ought to enable a man to lay by $500,000. In 1821, when Canning accepted it, it was his hope to return in 1827, with at least that amount—ho did not proceed to India, having been called on to succeed Castlereagh as Foreign Minister, and, PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1861. in the simmer of, 1827,, be, lo g y, stark and cold; in the sleep of death, after foUr months' occupancy of the Premiership :—Sie transit gloria The East India Company voted £5,000 to Lord Dilhousie on his return, on the under standing That he really needed the money. His health was mnelisluitteredisy - the climate of India, by his devotion• to public business, and by the loss of his wife, (eldesteister of the present Duchess of 'Wellington,y.arid ho was thus prevented froMtaking that Share poli tical life at hone which might loivo,been ex= •peoted from his abilities and. wink. More than once ho was spoken of as likety to called upon to join the Cabinet, bit his ill health prevented it. His death, on Decem ber 19, without male heir, causes the Scottish earldom and British barony, with the Dal housie entailed estates, to pass to Lord Pan. mute, his cousin. 1 We haye to say something about the latter. The new Earl of Dalhousie, commonly known 'as Mr. Fox Maule before his accessionto his lather's Bar coy of Panmure, in April,' 1852, claims his descent from a French family, anciently settled In the town and lordship of Maule, not far from Paris, a cadet of 'which "came in" with William the Conque ror, and received', as his share of cc the spoils," the rich estates of Hatton, in Yorkshire) descendant, one Sir Peter de Maule, married the' only daughter and heiress of - William de Valonds, of Parimure, Ferrara hire, Scot land, by whom he acquired vast ; es tates. The family removed to Panmure' and 'remained there, becoming Scottish by adop tion, and property, Patrick Menlo, who: ac cOmpanied James VI. to England, on this death of Elizabeth, remained in the royal ;serf. vice, and adhered to Charles I. in the 'first Civil War. For this he was created /*on Menlo and Earl of Panmure, in the Scottish Peerage, in 1646. A female descendant••of this nobleman became mother of George Ram sey, Bth Earl of Dalhousie, and of his brother William, who assumed the arms and name of Manle,lind succeeded to the Panmure estates in 1787. These estates, forfeited for tbeir owner's participation in the Scottish Rebellion of 1715,, were bought back, for the York buildings ComPany, in 1764, by William lifsule of Kelly, for £49,167, and are now worth about £12,000 a year. He was created Earl of Pan more, in the Irish Peerage, in 1743—twenty years atter the death of James Maule, fourth .Earl of Panmure, (in the Scottish Peerage,) who ha 4 been attainted, as an active Jacobite, in 1716. The Scottish Sarldom and barony re main yet under the attainter, but the great grandnephew of the attainted Lord, and uncle' of the late Marquis of Dalhousie, retained the great Fanmure estates which came to him on his father's death. This Mr. Maule, born in 1771, was one of the leading Whigs of "a' the north conntrle," at a time when it was unfashionable and even dangerous to avow liberal opinions. His great landed possessions caused him to be in the House of Commons, for over forty years. `He was so thorough a Whig that ho gave the name of Fox to his eldest son. In 1881, when he Whigs were in office, they made him Baron Panmure, in the British Peerage, which gave him a seat in the House of Lords. This poor was never ynown, during half a century of service M both Houses of Parlia ment, to utter one word in public ; but, as tho old song says, Be could drink with any he That ever Wore a hood He was also a tremendous eater; alto gether, a swollen gourmand. He was on Pad terms with his eldest son, who had to bring a main the Scottish Court fora larger allowance than his father was willing to make him, and the decision was that he should receive 4800 a year. That income was considered sufficient to enable him jut to exist as a peor's son_ and heir I Lordi'anmnre's principalproportylvaa in the county of Forfar. Sontetimei, vitt:oh - a letter arrived at Breehin Castle, (Lord Nll - residence), addressed there to Mr. Fo* Menlo, his loving father would endorse it, "Not known at Brochin Castle," -exhibit -it over the chimney-piece for a tow days, and then return it to the post office. But the time came when all earthly passions are subdued, and in April, 1852, Fox Hanle succeeded to the barony of Panmuro, and the vast entailed estates, on his father's death. Fox Hanle, second Lord Panmuro, and now eleventh Earl of Dalhousie, is within ' a fow months of.sixty. For twelve years, ho was a subaltern officer in the 79th Highlandeis, and served with that regiment In Canada. From 1835 to 1858, except daring the Peel, Derby, and Aberdeen administrations, Mr. Fox Maul° hold public office, viz: under-Secretary of State for the Home department, from April, 1836, to June, 1841; Vice President of the Board of Trade, Julie to September, 1841; Secretary at War, from Juno, 1846, to Febru. ary, 1862 ; President of the Board of Control for two weeks in February, 1852; War Secre tary, from 1866 to 1868. He sat in the House of COMEIIOIIB, for various Scottish constitu encies, from 1836 to his inheriting his father's peerage, in 1862. He was a pains-taking, able, and rather popular official, speaking flu ently, and possessing a fine presence and con ciliatory manners. Although, as an official, he defended the conduct and praised the hu manity of Colonel White, of the 7th Hamra, under whose martinet discipline private Fre derick White was actually flogged to death, at Hounslow Barracks, in 1846, Mr. Pox Manic had generally correct views as to 'the management of the army. In the debate on the Estimates, in the Session of 1847, he de. Oared his belief "that the army, as a service, had been, in some instances, too long ne glected. The comforts of the soldiers had not peen thought worthy of attention, but he was convinced that the more care was taken of a soldier in time of peace, the more he was trained to those habits which constituted a good citizen, the better he would serve in time of war." He succeeded the Duko of Newcastle in the War-Secretaryship, during the Crimean war, but rendered himself_ an object of general reprobation, by telegraphing to the Commander-in-Chief, before Sebasto pol, touching a near relative of his own, one Ensign Dowbiggen, whom ho wished to be promoted. The despatch "Take, care of Dowb," had a very injurious effect on the public mind, against Lord Panmure. With a large accumulation from his paternal estate, the new Earl of Dalhousie will be able to clear off the incambrances upon the landed property, in Midlothian and Haddington, which he now inherits from his cousin, the late Marquis of Dalhousie. In a few years, if life be. spared him, the Earl's. _rental probably amount to between $lOO,OOO and $160,000 a year. But what the gain to him ? His wife, whom ho tenderly loved, died in 1868, and he has no children. Titles and es tates will pass to his brother William, who al ready owns the estate of Foam. If the new Earl of Dalhousie should return to public life—his escapade concerning (c Dowb," being nearly forgotten, now—he would be sure to become a popular Minister. For ho has capacity, consistency, and that genial courtesy which few of the present governing statesmen of England appear desirous of exhibiting. —The New York Jicrald says : 4, Major Ander son is the man of the hour.

Interesting Letter from Cherie atone South Carolina. Wo are permitted to make the following' extract from a letter received by private hand, written by a lending citizen of Charleston to a citizen of Philadelphia : " Yon ask me for my oandid opinion of our con dition, and I will venture to give it to you. I could not publicly utter the sentiments of this let ter without risking my life. The leaders of the Convention, like their prototypes of the French Revolution, aro beginning to be terrified at the fruits of the seed they have sown; bnt,,as yet, the time for reaction is not bore. The people have been infuriated through the efforts of the politi cians, and now, like a Parisian mob, are pushing their captains and lieutenants into the very midst of the danger. ' It makes my heart bleed to hear our glorious Union assailed, as I do every moment, and to see the Palmetto flag floating from fortresses built by the money of the whole people, shortly, too, it is possible, to be turned against their Government. What may bring those men to their senses is the tax system they have adopted. When a per capita sum is levied upon negro slaves, those who began and have driven forward this miserable business, will feel, in their own purses, that which Is now afflicting men in my situation. They will be brought to their senses; for it stands to reason that we can no more maintain a permanent military force with out Immense and burdensome taxation than we can eat our own cotton, or trade with Europe with Uncle Sam's fleet in our harbor. It Is impossible for this state of things to con tinue without a collision—and when that oomes, God help our people ! -The rivalry bet Ween Charles ton and bavannah has always been great, bet that which was merely commercial oompetition and jealousy before secession, is now dread and anger. When our port is closed, Savannah may ho kept open,:it result that is not unlikely, considering that a large number of moderato men are, returned to the Convention which is to assemble in that oily." "I think the Republicans in Congress can afford to come down from their elevation—particularly in view of the condition of those in tho Cotton States who, like myself, look upon the entire course of the Sre-eaters with horror. When we have been frilly surrounded by starvation, taxation, and other troubles, it may be too late to turn the tide now surging on all sides. Anything practical from the Republicans would be used with excellent amt. " I send you a oopy of the Charleston Mercury, from whioh you will see that every line ridiculing or abusing the South is transferred from Northern newspapers into its columns. Much as' I have read of foolish conduct, I have never seen any thing so silly and childish as that of tho men who control our Convention. They are not statesmen; they ere lunatics, and seem to have no thought of the morrow. Their whole design is one of haste and hate, and even you, who have your opinion of our ftre•eatere, would be surprised to see how much moro indiscreet and inexperienced they are than you have believed them to be. These men appear to forget that, while they may prevent an Amerloan man-of-war from crossing our bar and coming into our port, and enforcing the United States laws, they at the same time exclude all commerce from no. The suggestion made a few days ago, that the entrance to the port' should be destroyed, Is a part of their foolish policy. If, like the Res:inns at Sebastopol, we fill our harbor with obstacles, we therefore not only defy the Government, but starve Ourselves, Our people seem to be on a frolic, and probably when they get sober will also get sane. Ihe Mississippians, as well as soma in this State, Alabama, and Georgia, look to semeessful secession as a way to osoapo the payment of jest debts. " What a shameful position for an honest man, and an American, to take! Row can such people obtain credit from civilized Europo, when they re fuse to fulfil their just obligations to their own countrymen? "The lata stiffening of the President, and his evident detormintition to support Anderson has created undoubted alarm in the camp of tho lead ere of the Convention I want no war, for no man Would stiffer more, or could afford to suffer less than he who pens those linos, but it to clear that unless the Federal Government shows Its teeth, and tells them mon that it will enforce the laws made in parsuanoe of the Constitution, they will go on un til they wrap the whole of the Gulf States in a ge neral conflagration. "I forbear describing what our condition in South Carolina would then be. How would they get on In Georgia, with a ,minority inside party in favor of the tinier!, suspected by the mojerity, and all their movements watched, not to'speak of the other horrible 'reflections, that the negroes them selves may catch the alarm, and that thousands heretofore dependent upon the North for suppliei of produce, pork, beef, &0., will be unable to get these necessaries of life? It is my daily prayer, however, that, as the storm approaches, and seems to be inevitable, some good man in the Republican party wißrise up in his place in Congress, and, at the risk of ' losing his political position, offer such concessions as:will enable us to live on hap pity and peacefully for years together: I can as. sore you • that if this is done many who favored secession 'at the start, but who now see that it is HMV to end in a general wreck, will be too glad to escape, and will join with me in thanks to God that we have been rescued from indescribable hor rors." * * * • C The Crisis—The Government and the People. [For The Preas.l Mn. EDITOR: In the great debate Upon Foote's resolution in the Senate of the United States in 1829-30, upon the limitations of the sales of the pubilo lands, there was a discussion of many of the important constitutional principles which now agitate this country, and are • rocking it to its 'centre., History is a very wise teacher. In times like these—so full of fearful peril—her 'lessons, shoidd he,"reealled and deeply- studied , Among, the striking, disOtiloptnefite Of that debate was thal-setelnoVed io this-solemn deliberetions of the Senate, that the 'Neu*, cielginated the fsmoas ordimenee 0f 2 1.787 for the goverment Of the Nottlis western'Teriltay, and esPielallY the aritiestaueret clause Which . tbat ordinanosi oontained—thui shrieriug that the South took the load at that lime in restrlotinitte existence of slavery, as quently in 1820 Elie showeda patriotic readiness td do again by her votes on thehliasouri Compromise. And true it is that in the early days of the Repub lic, the views of leading men in the North and South were the same upon slavery in the abstiaot. /3 ad men in both sections have, since that time, brought this question to its present daageire one magnitude ; in the North, from the in" flume of a fanaticism, blind to patriotism and: political faith,: in the South, becausilanabltioult 'political leaders found in it an "unvarying ground,' in the words of Webster, for "excluding Northern men from confidence, and from lead. in the alleles of the Republic." This -is worth re membering, beeeuse, , while no truthful man can deny that our Southern brethren are borne out by the reoords of State legislation;so fares they com plain ' of overt nets of nullification on the part of several of the Northern States—wits 'which would have been long since recalled, had these States - been Officially and properly naked to reoall them— and have an equal right to complain of the North ern 'pulpit and press, yet it is equally true, That Southern demagogues and dad ambitious South ern men have, for thirty years past, done their ut most, needlessly, and wickedly to inflame the • Southern mind against this Union. . Rut the 'leading feature of that debate was the inception of netifeefeation, now, by Carolina, as a term-of greater safety, denominated secession. -This heresy in our republican political ethics first showed itself in Massachusetts, and grew out of the war of 1812. , It was proclaimed, (if what is done in secret, and known to everybody, can be said tube proclaimed,) by the illustrious patriots or the Bartrord Convention, and totally destroyed the, subsequent political Influence and reputation of every man . oonneeted with it. 1n1829-30 this anomalous 'doctrine showed itself in a more bold), -defiant front, and in no less a theatre than Able nate •ef the United- States. It first peeped, andi then stared out, in the greet passage between Mr. Ilayne and Mr. Webster, a political hybrid, ca ressed and held up by the former to the confidence' ef . the country, but by the latter seized from, the, grasp of the Carolina Senator, and throttled on the' spot. Mr. Rayne planted himself upon the Vir ginia resolutions of '9B-99. Mr. Webster denied, that the Constitution of - the United States or the Virginia roolutione gave any authority for the doctrine advanced. Although the direst question,. as practically applied to South Carolina, was nul lification in the 'Union, yet its "twin sister, - eacesaton," came up , to its aid and comfort,, with the " anarchical and preposterous inter pretation," (the words, I think, - of Mr. Ma-• disione placed upon the Virginia resolutions.' Those who deny the right of secession, as you , do, Mr. Editor, bravely anti logically, and who follow, that denial to its legitimate results, must necessarily regard any ordinance of seces sion, abolishing the laws of the Union, as nothing' but nullifloatien 'grid treason to Union; and,' now that it is upon us again, it may be well to recall what was then said of some of tho ele mentary principles of our Government, then, as, now, attacked in their vitals. Mr. Webster argued with great ability in his reply to Mr. Ilayno—what is more feebly presented by the weaker statesmen of the present day—that the "Constitution of the United States makes Me Federal Government art upon the citizens of the States, and not upon the States themselves; that, ten thin. their constitutional limits, the laws of, Congress were supreme, and that at was treason to 'tense them by force." It is impossible, in a brief article, to do ordina- , ryjustioe to the powerful views he expressed ap plicable to the great crisis now upon us. Would that he were hare, that his deep-toned voice, and great heart, and commanding powers could now be given to the American people! I cannot for bear an extract or two. In speaking of the origin of this - Government, and the source If its power, ho asked, with hie telling interrogatory: "Whose agent is it? Is it the creature of the State Legis latures, or the creature of tho people? If the Go vernment of the United States be the agent of the State Gov ernments, then they may control it, pro vided they can agree In the manner of controlling it; if it be the agent of the people, then the people alone can control it, restrain it, modify, or reform it. It is observable enough that the doctrine for which the honorable gentleman contends leads him to the necessity of maintaining, not only that this General Government is the creature of the States, but that it is the creature of each of the States severally, so that each may assert 'the power for itself of determining whether it acts within the remits of its authority. It' is the servant of four-and-twenty masters, of different wills, and different purposes, and yet bound to obey all. This absurdity (for it seems no less) arises from a misconception of the origin of this Government and its true character. It is, sir, the people's Constitution, the people's Government, made for the people, made by the people, and an swerable to the - people. iThe people of the United States have; deolared that this Constitution shall be the ee•prierea law. We'must either admit the pro position or dispute their authority. to * * So far as the - people have given power to the Gene ral Government, so' fay the grant is unquestionably good, and the Government holds of the people, and not of the State Goveinments. We are all agents of the seine supreme power, the people. The General Government, and the State Governments derive their power from the same souse. Neither can, in relation to the other, be called primary,. though one is definite and restricted, and the ether general and residuary. The National Govern ment possesses those powers which it can be' shown the people have. conferred on it, anti no more. Alll the rest belong to the State Govern ments, or to 'the people themselves. So far as the people have restrained State sovereignty: by the expression of their will in the Con stitution of the United States, so far, it must be admitted, State sovereignty' is of-, factually controlled. I do not contend that it is or ,ought to be controlled further. The senti ment to which I have referred propounds, that State sovereignty is only to be controlled by Its own feeling of justice ; ' that is to say, it is not to be controlled at all, for one who is to follow Ills: own feelings is under no legal control. Now,. however men may think this ought to be, the feet is, that the people of the United States have chosen' to impale, control in State, sovereignties. There' are those, doubtless, who wish they hid been left; withent xestretnt ; but the Constitution has order-i ed the matter differently. To make war, fee is Vance, is au exercise of sovereignty; but the Con stitution declares that no State shall make war. To coin money is another exercise of sovereign power; but no State is at liberty to coin money. Again, the Constitution says that no sovereign State shall be so sovereign as to make a treaty. These prohibitions, it must be confessed, ore aeon,. trol on the State sovereignty of South Carolina, as well as of the other States, which does not arise from her own feelings of honorable justice.' Tho opinion referred to, therefore, is in defiance of tno plainest provisions of the Constitution." These great truths, Mr. Editor, are the truths for the times. They are worth studying, and I have therefore copied them. You have, from the commencement of these perilous hours, nobly stood up for the Union, by promulgating those' truths and enforcing them with a fervid and fear less patriotism. Go on in this bold and wise course. The people are with you—the great Union loving people—North and South.

The conservative men of the Middle ,slates deny that the grievances of the South ere to he traoad exclusively to the North ; a heavy pie portion ,is from that quarter, hut by no means the whole. But whatever complaints exist in the Re-' publican family, we insist upon it, that they are to be heard and deoided between the parties in,. and not out, of the Union. We waist that rebel. in, defiant in its tones, and armed to the' teeth, is note in the land.

Editor, I have been emboldened to ad dress you, from the readiness you have expressed to receive tho thoughts of your fellow-oltizens around you. You are right, sir—appeal to the people. This state of things cannot, must not, last. This groat nation cannot melt away, by the unop posed machinations of those who are aiming at its heart. Civilization and the oaase of human free. dam forbid it. The mighty energies of a virtuous people—though preferring peace, and praying to Heaven to save their country from the horrors of oivil war—will arise to prevent it. It is an era in our country, God Almighty has willed it for his own wise purposes. It is an era for the intrepid action of great minds, for the development of pa triotism, and for endurance on the part of men who love their country. " Groat wrath bath but short time." So says the Bible. Carolina must soon get to the end of her present career. She Is, at pre sent, a political suicide. Action—as you proclaimed the other day—action, bold, prompt, prudent, magnanimous, but constitutional action, towards our erring brothers, is all that is wanted on the part of our rulers. The people will demand it. History demands it; truth and justice deinand it, and they will be hurled from power, and disgraced in history, if they do not show such notion. The Union-loving of the great North, Northwest Middle, and Southern States, and the coerced and suffering minorities of the seceding States, do not de. sire civil war. But, if by such a term be meant the bold military defense of this Union from the mili tary attack of those who are in arms against, with intention to overthrow it, than we say other things are worse—much worse. Anarchy is worse. Mili tary despotism is worse. Servile insurrection and midnight massacre are worse. A chattered Union, with these as a portion of its dreaded consequences is worse. The Grecian daughter nursed her parent from her youthful and exuberant breast, but Caro line, the daughter who has never been wronged by hers, now raises the arm of a parricide. The peo ple—the great people of this country—will never voluntarily nartvrith their Government. Calmly, firmly, thoughtfully, be it said— , bat so. it is. Never tell they part melt it, Revolution alone —successful revolution--can alone diameraber it. A revolution may-be-consecrated in-history ; rebel lion never. Then what is the Path of duty towards the present rebellion in this country ? Liberal for haulm() towards it is wise, if accompanied by the most vigorous preparations for defence. Let that forbearanciecntinue ; but let preparation for de fense go on. We would treat even bielefrom our Bentham States as blows from mania* brothers— we would not strike bank but in self-defence; yet we would subdue them. But how subdue a sove reign State? Would you bring her 111 dieing to your "Union a conquered vassal ?" This is fine eloquence for sweeten ! The answers are suggested by the recolleotima that this Government is one of opinion, and founded upon a union of geographical, political,' and commercial communities, each part neoeseary to the whole, and the whole to a part, rendering forms, in the settlementof its die eenalons, a mea sure of the very lea; resort. But how, then, con sistently with this principle, shall' this Federal Union meet a State deolaring independence? Bullets and bloodshed need not be a primary re liance. The seizure of the forte in South Carolina, which, bad the Government been bolder and more prompt, would never have happened, hen ,com plicated the case as to that State. But even for these forts we would not now, for the purpose of recapture, commence a conflict. Meet it, if she forces it upon the Union, with the effective re sults of prepared energy. In the, moan time strive to avoid it. Abolish her port, and stailorl a strong naval force in the harbor to do the Work practically and peaceably. Yon thus rid yourself of a seceding collector, who has aided the emended of the Government., and you save a quarrel ever the revenue laws. Abolish the post oMoes in her limits ; she cannot complain of this, as she is now independent. Send back her commissioners from their mission to Washington without any reception by authority. Abolish her Federal court, which she despises and defies. , You thus have no machinery or laws to be bro ken by her revolutionary ordinances, and there • fore none to enforce. You have noPederal Moors to bo upheld, or to be treacherous to you, anti no flag to defend, Yon simply live on—she says she is out of the Union, you say she is in. You simply let her alone, and if she will not let you alone, but attack* you in your peaceful resolves, you hive the whole power cf the Federal Union to aid you in sustaining them. Nationality she may declaim on 1 ,paper. She never can establish it with any foreigist Power, except that Power recognises' her, after et , conflist with and a victory over the Federal Union.

'At Cirencester, in England; there has been an AgriStfitural College in fall operation Slice 1848, and we have been told by practical, old school farmers in that part of the country, that they found it necessary, 'in the competiiloh for a living by their land, to send their sons to this College, scientifically to learn how' to make the most of their tillage and stock. The necessity for having scientific farming taught to their sons arose from the fact, proved by experience, that those brought up at the In stitution actually were better farmers, at starting in life, than their fathers were after long practice. Science did for the young men more than experience had done for the old. PERSONAL AND POLITICAL. A correspondent of the Post denies the state ment that Gen.
