Magazines for June.
Tbe. June number of Harper's Maganne
has come to hand, through J. B. LiPrificorr
& Co., and PETERSON & BROTHERS. The il
lustrations to the Editor's Drawer are con
tinued, and may be accepted as giving point
to the wit, fun, and eccentricity of this part of
the Magazine. There is some amusement,
too, in "Modern Idolatry," a Belies of
sketches by J. McLattAx. TuAcxze.t.r's
novel and Tamoes's cc Orley Farm" are also
illustrated—the latter by pre-Raphaelite Mn.-
nem. Lastly, we come to the original picto
rial articles. These are J. Ross Bnowsz's
"Coast-Rangers of California," a very spi
rited sketch of Adventure In the Golden
State ; "Adventures in Gorilla Land," ably
pat together from Du Otts_run's and Wm
soles forthcoming works on Equatorial and
Western Africa. There are also some pretty
engravings to some feeble stanzas, entitled
ccApple-Blossoms." Mr. Tnotmora's new
story, as it advances, is far more satiafac
tory than TRAORERAT'S "Adventures of
Philip." Mr. Tn.ozaors has considera
ble inventive power, and delights to keep
his characters in action, whereas THROWS
RAY dawdles over his story, and charms
you solely by his manner. There are some
good short tales in this number, and a graphic
account of an cc Audience of the Queen -of
Spain, in 1854." cc On Being Found but"
is one of Mr. TizAcKsaJtr's moral essays, we
suppose: it is true and quaint. We miss the

he asked, ' And how do you suppose Raman fait

Every one has beard and will remember how
Tom Marshall was once engaged in a lawsuit be
fore a magistrate, and a point of evidence being
decided against him he became slightly irritated,
but with the blandest expression he could assume
under the oi►onmetauoes.'he said to the magistrate,
" / wish your Worship would fine me five dol•

"The Court is not aware of any contempt, Mr.
Marshall, for whioh you should be Sind."
" Well, I feel a most profound contempt for this
Court," responded Marshall, with that peculiar
twitching of the facial nerves for which he is so re.
markable There was a roar of laughter from the
crowd. And now for an imitation

" Your contempt for the Court is not more de:

response of one of the magistrates.
This was a stinging retort, and Mao felt it ; but
another worsalpfnl member of the Costrt—e dry,
hard-looking old blacksmith—put in- blow that
finished the work, and completely demolished the
young lawyer

The laugh was against Mao. He was a notorious

The .dtlantte Monthly for June (from T. B.
Pugh and T. B. Peterson) is a good numbery
with only a couple of articles of inferior merit.
One of these is the free-and-easy narrative of
the journey of the Now York Seventh Regti
ment to Washington, via Philadelphia and
Annapolis. Thirteen pages of old newt);
much better told at the time in the daily
journals, can serve no purpose here but—to V
skipped. The political article; called II Th t
Pickens-and-Stealin's Rebellion," has a doubt -
merit. It is earnest and—short. There ill aiq
Army Hymn here, by Dr. 0. W. Holmes, (w
republished it on Tuesday,) which is one or
the few good poems, sacred or secular, whict
the Crisis hall produced. There is a poem, l
much longer but not so good, called ec Th
Rose Enthroned," which strikes as as a saps'
rior specimen of -made as distinguished froth
spontaneous song. The rhymes loin and beeni
in the fifth stanza, are fatal. Mrs. Stowe'e neW
Italian romance, "Agnes of Sorrento," is here!
continued, and a new and striking character
is brought forward. This is a certain Father
Francesco, who has been affected by the
preaching of Jerome Savonarola, the Demi=
nician, who was burnt at Florence. in Mae
1498, for advocating the Reforni of the Ohm).
Thie, then, fixes the date of the story, whith
Mrs. Stowe told her readerh, last month, sue

Stowe reminds us that there has lately been
published, in London, "The Pearl of Orts
Island; a Story of the Coaat of Maine," 'ay
Mrs. Stowe. How has it happened that this
has not let appeared in this country T or is it a
republication, under another name, of ore of
Mrs. Stowe's old hooka f If the latter, it' is a
public imposition. gc Greek Linea," scholarly
and critical, is evidently from a woman's pet.
It Is curious, however, that the writer ehott

and illustrated this in his 4' Analysis •1

blood, and 4 ‘ Denmark Vesey," a narrative of
Slavery in the South," are sufficiently readable
for the many. We pass from them to is Napo
leon the Third," an able andlabored apology
for certainly the most retattrkable pi/bile man
in Europe. The writer Itrongly vindicates
him, and says, it He must rave lived and died

and that be bore a groat e, and that through
the :canourrauce of several deatbe he had be.
come the legitimate heir of Napoleon, were.
favorable circumstances, and helped not a little
too promote his purpose; but they could not
alone have made him Emperor of the French,
and "the world's arbiter."
- Again, we are told cg the manner in which
the French President became Emperor of the
Prehch has bees much criticized. That some
of his deeds, at the close of 1851, and in the
early,part of 1852, deserve censure, few of his
intelligent admirers will be disposed to deny.
His'defence is, that it was impossible for him
to act differently without forfeiting his life.
The contest in 1851, had assumed such a
character, that it was evident that the one
party or the other must be destroyed." The
education of Napoleon 111., (he had resided
in Switzerland, the United States, and' Eng
land,) had made him a Liberal. e; His writings'
pro*, that he both understood and appreciated
the'eonatitutfonal system of government. Such

they say that Monsieur Bonaparte is a well

Their predeneeeore bated Napoleon I. personally,
and with intense bitternees, which accounts for
the readiness with which they took parts in the

The Country Parson, Who has obtained no
Jeputation by his genial and sensible
"Anetirmels4trrigtettarel*
A. KAI. 13.), is now one of the contributors
to the attlantic Monthly. We may mention,
suppose, that this is the Rev. Mr. Boyd, a
Protestant Episcopal olergyman in Dumfrie•
shire, Scotland, not far from Carlisle. We
here have him sensibly discoursing et Con
cerning Things Slowly Learnt," and good dis
course it is—always rational, sometimes bril
liant. Here is a bit of truth, not the less for
cible for its being so quietly put :
Let it be said here, that an affected unoon•
odiousness of the presence of amultitude of people
Is as offensive an exhibition of self eoneeionsnem as
any that is possible. Entire naturalness, and a
just sense of a man's personal inelip?idoence, will
produce the right deportment. It is very irrita
ring to see some clergymen walk into church to
begin the service. They come in with eyes affect
edly oast down, and go to their places without
ever looking np, and rise and begin without
one glance at the congregation. To stare
about them, as scare clergymen do, in a free and
easy manner, befits not the aoleninity of the place
and the worship; but the other is the worse thing
In a few eases it proeoedt from iltedelly, in the
majority from intolerable self-conceit. The man
,who keens hie eyes downeast in that affected man
nor fancies that every body is looking at him; there
is an insufferable self-contaloneness about him ;
and he Is much more keenly aware of the presence of
other people than the man who does wlmt is mita•
rat, and looks at the people to whom he is speak
ing. it is not natural or rational to speak to one
human being with your eyes fi xed on the ground ;
and neither i s it natural or rational to speak to a
thousand. And I think that the preacher who
feels in hie heart that he Ai neither wiser nor
better then his fellow sinners to whom he is
to preach, and that the advieee he addressee
to them are addressed quite as solemnly to
himself, will assume no conceited airs of eleva
tion above them, but will unconsciously wear the
demeanor of any sincere worshipper, somewhat
deepened in solemnity by the remembrance of his
heavy personal responsibility in leading the con
gregation's worship; but assuredly and entirely
free from the vulgar conoeit which may be fostered
in a vulgar Mind by the reflection, Now every
body is Molting at me !' I have seen, I regret to
say, various distinguished preachers whose pulpit
demeanor was made to me-inexpressibly offensive
by this taint of self-consoionenees. And I have
seen some, with half the talent, who made upon me
an impression a thousandfold deeper than ever was
made by the moat brilliant eloquence; because Ae
simple earnestness: of their manner said to every
heart, (Now lam not thinking in the least about
myself, or about what you may think of me : my

- The lest article which requires notice, treats
of eg American Navigation : its Checks, its
Progress, its Dangers—the Birth of the Navy
—the Embargo." This record relates a good
deal about the Embargo of 1807, at which
period it the distressed seamen and ruined
merchants had no railwaya r saarcely an ordi
nary road to the West. Manufactures were
almost unknown, the mechanic arts were un
developed, and consequently the exclusion
rom the sea was felt with double force." The
Embargo failed, and the Magazine-writer, re
lates how it did, and why. There is a' good
deal of striking argument here, based upon
facts, relating to the present condition of our
National Navy—the maintenance of which
was advocated by Adams, Clay, and Webster,
but deprecated by the policy of Jefferson and
Madison. It soncludes thus :
The past, however, le gone, and the future is
before ns. England, °anemone of her naval
power, of her vast steam marine, and of our defi
ciencies, has not *voided to our proposal to exempt
inerohantmen from seizure in future wars. Is it
not now our policy to provide in advance for the
contingenoiee of the future—to obtain the live-oak
and cedar frame'', the engines, boilers, Paixhan
guns, for at least one hundred steam-frigate!,with
costa of mail for some of them, so that, instad of
eponding years in their construction, launching
them when the war is over, and then leaving them
to decay, we may, as the arida approaches, be
able is a few mouthe to fit out a fleet which, if not
irresistible, shall at least command respect ? Ac
complished otßoers and men can be drawn from
the merchant service at short notice ; but we can
not create steamers in a moment.
" The appropriations by Congress of late years
for Ream frigates and sloop of-war, and far the
defence of New York, New Bedford, Portland,
Bath, and Bangor—tor ,Bath. in partionlar..whieb
owns nearly two huudred thousand tone of shipping,
and which builds more ships annually than any
I other port In the Union, Boston excepted—are
most judicious ; but are there not other points
which deserve the attention of Government?
bhonld not a few thousand rifled cannon, a good
supply of Kilo, and a proportionate emount Of
powder and ball be deposited near San Franaisoo,
to enable us, it, case of war, to convert out
clipper Ships and Messner' in the Pacific, into
cruisers? bhonid not batteries of Palaban guns
be erected at the outlet of Long Island Sound,
upon Gulf and Fisher's islands; and the opposite
points, to convert the whole sound above into a
fortified harbor, and thus defiant New York and
the im_portant seaports upon the sound,. and by
these fortresses and a few coast-batteries between
stonlngton and Newport, like those on the coast of
France, keep open during war an inland naviga
tion for seal and flour between the Olievapeake
si l
en
and Delaware bap, Pennsylvania, New York.
Connecticut, Rhode Island, and blaasoobusette?
Should not these and similar questions of national
defence, in these days of extended commerce,

nean wood, up hill and down hill, through
brake and War, bodge and ledge, encounter
ing the usual kneti of bravos and bullies, who
frequent one or two inns cc of low degree" be
.yond the borough laws, and finally you enter
Alexandria from the notthwestward, down
and around some dreary-looking regions,
whose smutted walls and lowering faces are
.not of a character to excite pleasing or peace
ful sensations in the journeying mind.
In time of war you may imagine these dan

We left the quaint old Georgetown, with
its college and convent, its narrow streets and
camp-covered heights, just at sun-set, having
bid "good-bye's to the ig boys" at the
Capitol an hour before. Taking' the road,
which exits from the college green over the
hills, we cantered oft to the westward, the
heavy woods on our right, and to our left the
fairest of landscapes, stretching off below us.
The river above the viaduct narrows and
deepens like a country stream ' passing be
tween opposing banks of the most opposite rip.
pearance. On this side the canal is overhung
by precipices the most perpendicular and rug-
ged, with crags of stone rising in the air, like
castles and fortresses ; on the other side,
sloping hills, covered with fresh-leaving trees,
descend to the water's edge, where a girdle of
wild- flowers strew the still water with their
petals. The' woody green is interspersed
with white dogwood blossoms, except where
below fog-mark the branches have been frost
bitten, leaving them gray and aehen-coiored
as the rocks confronting them from the dis
trict shore. Below the viaduct the river
makes a sweeping curve and broadens out
into a noble bay, around whose blue circle
appear the glittering spires of the city—the
massive white column dedicated to the father
of American Independence—the arsenal, the
long bridge, and away beyond, in the mist, the
hazy hills of the Old Dominion, sparkling to the
sun. On a clear morning, from the heights
over which we galloped, yon may Ace Fort
Washington and Blount Vernon. But the
house-tops and shipping alone of Alexandria
are visible above the intervening bills.
We met on our way a drunken drover, who
swore like a trooper that he would have out
scalps unless we gave three cheers for the
Union, a patriotic request we cheerfully com
plied with; we answered some queer and'ner
yens queries of a poor old woman, whose

and' her hopeful Cuddy, in the days of the Co-- ,
Venanters ; we stopped a moment 1
to chat with a
party of officers returning from a reconnoitring
tour. Among these were two or three.ofAtie
"young cadets. !rem West Point, whose .pre
sence here is delightful. We reached - the
bridge at the falls just about dark, and halted
for a few minutes till the officer of the guard;
there titationiftl, came in with a run-away

rested in the raVine . above. The poorfeilew—a
huge, dark.-hrowed man of forty or fitly years
of age—looked ilercely enough as he marched
between the file of son.iarr, with-that dogged,
undaunted air of a man, *lib; racough con
quered, is not vanquished. Our pass being
1 6 all right," we moved on the bridge, the ser
geant bidding us ig look out for them d—n
Virginia devils on the other side, who'll cut
your throat rather than not!?
Sure enough, just as our horses' hoofs began
to patter on the stones of the road opposite,
a hoarse, harsh voice arrested ns with "Halt l
or I'll put lead into you." We turned sud
denly, and there, not ten steps from as, stood
a man in heavy jean suit, red sash, and
cocked hat, with a rifle presented right in eur
faces. He stood at least six feet two or three
inches, was iveather-beaten and brawny, and
wore long brown whiskers. His summons
was not to be diSobeyed. We drew up, as
sured him of our peaceful intentions, were
.going find to a friend's hard by, and thence to
Alexandria. c; I've no'doubt,' says he to our
explanation, eg you're a pair of Government
spies, bat I'll pass you on, for if I give you
your dues you'll only be shot, and if Governor
Wise ketches you you're shore to be hung,"
at which very barbarous joke be gave a gruff
laugh, we joining in of course, and seeing our
way clear we bade him If good night," and
set off down the smooth road a little faster, in
the consciousness that there is still virtue in
that old maxim about discretion being the
better part of valor.
On we rode. The night was just warm
enough to be agreeable, the air was fragrant
with wild flowers, and the breeze, which
Game pleasantly over the waters, bore to our
ears the drowsy bum from the distant city.
Anew, almost star-like moon, was edging it
self through the branches above us, and shim
mering. on the surface of the river, as we now
and then caught a glimpse of it hrough the
foliage. After a while • we reached a point
nearly overlooking the observatory, the much
mentioned Arlington Heights. They con•
mend the whole city. A battery upon them
could batter every point for miles around
in the wild sweep. From it we looked over,
as into a basin, the undulating plain, over
whose rising and falling acres the national
capital is irregularly scattered. Its light
glimmered brightly up, another field of planets
and stars—the white-marble buildings reflect
ing to transparency the surrounding lamps.!
Interspersed here and there, where a space of
open ground appeared, camp tents glowed, so.
airy like that they seemed ready to rise up in'
the atmosphere mock balloons. The dark,-
brown towers and turrets of the Smithsonian
Institute peculiarly commended themselves to
cannon range. 'lke monument looked as if
it could and would dodge. The White Rouse
was entirely concealed by the trees about It.
But the Capitol, pinnacled on a hill-top, ac
cording to Scripture, stood up the most pro
minently above all things, unprotected, soli
tary, and alone. Truly, a battery on these
same Arlington Heights might do some sad
work.
Without serious accident we jog-trotted into
Alexandria at nine o'clock, and proceeded
through the dark streets to the chief hotel of
the place, where we found, around the door,
quite a crowd assembled.
What can this mean ? we thought.
But we were too prudent to query, and, ha
ving
seen our horses safely stabled, we care
lessly mingled in the motley gathering of men,
women, and children, some in rags and some
in tags, and none in velvet gowns, tint a few in
uniform and many in plain dress, all noisily
assembled about the door. We did not need
ask the reason. We pretty soon learned that
Governor Wise was expected to arrive in a
few minutes. Shortly atter, an old•faahioned
pout chaise, with tallow lamps, a great boot,
and ear-piercing bugle-horn, rolled up, the
crowd dividing, that it might atop at the curb ;
the door was opened, a breathless prune en
sued, and—
Governor Wise did.not get out!
No, sirs ! That pfkotembnie statesman, com
bustible politician, and . peripatetic hero, was
not in the coach, Not this man, as Toodles

The True Doctrine.
The argument of Jefferson Davis to his Confede
rate Congress, is favor of the right of soomtion by
a State, was answered and demolished by Daniel
Webster thirty-one years ago. In his famous re
ply to Rayne, in January, 183 ft, Mr. Webster
acid:
‘, When the gentleman says the Con4titution is a
compact between the States 'he user language ez
aotly applicable to the old , Confederation. Be
speaks as if he were in 'Congress :before 1789
He desoribes fully that old Oats of things ex
isting. The Confederation_wea, in strictness, a
compact; the States, as States, warearties to it.
We had no o th er general governmen t. Bat that
was found insufficient and inadequate to thopublio
exigencies. The people were not gadded with It,
and undertook to establish a better. They under-'
took to form a_ general government, which should!
stand on a new basis—not a confederacy, not al
league, not a compact between Pastas, but a Con-'
StituttOrt, a popular government founded in popu
Mr election, directly responsible" to- the peoplei
themselves, and divided into branches with pre
scribed limits of power and prescribed dutles.!
They ordained each a government ; they gave it
the name of a COaliattition, and therein they
established a distribution of powers between this,
their General Government, and their several Mato
Governments.' When they shall become dissatisfied
with this distribution they oan alter it Their
own power over their own instrument remains:
But, until they shall alter it, it mast stand as their
will, and Is equally binding on the General Govern l
ment and on the titates."
This doctrine, so forcibly stated by Mr. Webster;
was that upon which. General Jeekson noted in
putting down South Corolla& nullification. Gene
ral Jackson held not only that s 3 State could not
secede, but that power to prevent secession ref
sided in the Federal Government—in other words;
the Federal Government had power to 'preserve
iteelf. This is the true doctrine which, however,
Mr. Buchanan attempted to Controvert in his Meth
sage in Deoember last. But in that, sa in almost
everything else, Mr. Butthanan was unsound. In
many things he was worse than unsound; be was
wilfully perverse and wicked and unfaithful

I spent, yesterday at Montgomery. It was ex
pooled that last night General Bragg would out
the Clain, dock loom . from tho navy yard, and
sink it in the ebannel. This, it fa believed, will
provoke a fi re from the Federal troops, when Pick
ens will be reduced, and the first broody battle of
the revolution will be fought. The mere destruo
lion,of.,Vieitena is not in itself the great work of
this prospective action. The battle which will
afterwards ensue on the ialand—whioh is thirty
miles long—ia to determine finally the, issue at
Pensacola The. reinforcement of Pickens, em
braced flying-artillery, and all the appurtenances
for en independent engagement outside of the fort
when a reduction of it compels its abandonment.
So you will perceive, unlike Sumpter, the contest
'be, in comparison to it, a protracted and
bloody one: General Bragg's -batteries are oom
.petent to destroy Fort Plokeas in thirty hours,
after which the ten thousand noble volunteer
troops in the Confederate &Mee win engage the
enemy in a close, desperate, and, as I feel assured,
• mournful fight.
