It may .be almost unnecessary to direct the attention of our readers to the announcement, which appears elsewhere in oar columns, of ‘ Mr. fivurri’s Address on tb*-“OBiGis asp Character or tut Was,” to be delivered at .Concert Hall, on Tuesday evening, the 2lst instant. Ho doubt a great many in this city and neighborhood have already made arrange ments to be there. Who, indeed, would will ingly neglect the opportunity of hearing the scholar and orator of world-wide fame, when, through the praiseworthy efforts and enter prise of our Library Association, be comes amongst us te deliver a soul-stirring address on the great subject which now absorbs the attention: of the-whole American people—a subjeot Involving, not only alMheir present interests, but all their future' honor and hap piness; whatsoever the Destinies have reserved tor them among the nations of the earth. We do not doubt, then, that the tame eloquent • -periods which so lately have stirred to enthu siasm the.titouiandt oflisteners whothreng •4 tbe .kaUs of Boston and Hew’York, will fall with equal power effect upon our thousands of apprecUtive hearers, in Concert Hall, next Tncsday evtning.r As the.engagement of Mr. Bverett with the Library Committee oxteuds only to one eveningand one lectnre,(as we are informed) it is hardly probable that a like op- of bearing .“the most polished ora tor of his time/Vviuagain:present itself our elticens for years tocome. / By the advertisement we see that, the sale of‘tibkots will oommenoe to-morrow (Satur day) at the of Penn and St. * Olair streets,- where-wo adyise an early appli cation to be mad# by those who art'particular about securing the nest seats.

I claim no mer it for my former communication, ‘qther than aa.honestclaim.to openness, plainness and pointedness. Mr. K. tells us he has. been to ' Washington, but falls to say whether he vis ited that .city in pursuit.of some fat contract. r lfhls visit was prompted by suehpatriotio ,(?)/motives,-he evidently failed in his /object, #s he Informs us that he came sad ness I" He thinks I injured my friend in tho Cabinet, by giving a public denial to e-public charge; and then renew* the charge, but says il is a Timor J .

Arrest of a Notorion* Pick-Pocket. For some weeks 'pret our city has been cursed with the presence of that bold and ex pert pick-pocket—Washington Freeze. His operations here have been numerous and daring, and Mayor Wilson has been using every effort in his power tohave him arrested. On Hew Year's, Freeie robbed a railroad con ductor bamed Richard Gilston, of Wooster, Ohio, of a silver watch and twenty dbll&rs in mouey,at an exhibition at Trimble's Varieties. An information was made soon after, but it was not until yesterday that Freese fell under the eyes of the police., He was arrested by officer Richardson, but while on the way to the lock-up be broke loose and escaped. Ia the evening he was again taken in custody by the same offioer, and when within a few steps of the Mayor's office he again escaped.. in justice to tiie officer, however, we must state that be was very unwell, and quite too weak to handle so slippery a customer. His anxiety to arrest tne offender induced him to undertake a task which he was unable to ac complish. “Tbo spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak.” ... Mayor Wilson thon detailed officers Cum berland Moon, with instructions toapprebend Freeze, if such a ihing was possible. These officers visited nearly all tho “vile haunts"' in thenity, and were about giving up in des pair, when success crowned their efforts. It was known that Freeze had a paramour, to whom be always fled in time of danger, but the difficulty was to find her lodging place. At six o’clock they visited the house of Tilly Clark, on Grant street, and were admitted to tbo-hall. They were refused access to the rooms in-the house, and. at once suspocted they were, on the right tr&ok. They forood open the door, however, and there discovered Mr. Freeie comfortably quartered with his mistress. He was soon after transferred to a cell in the lock-up, and was this morning committed to jail by Mayor Wilson, to answer at Court. He also stands charged with the larceny of a pocket book containing seventy five dollars, and two railroad! tickets, taken from a stranger at the depot. The informa tion was made by officer Fox, before Aider man Owstos. and a commitment has been lodged agaimt the accused.- Wash. Freese is ono of the most dangerous men in the country—a traveling pirate—gen teel in dress and appearance, cool in his man ners, and so plausible as to deceive the best judges of btunan nature.' He has Veen fre quently under-arrest, was sentenced to a short term in the penitentiary some few years ago, and since bin discharge has. been traveling abroad. At Cincinnati his equally expert ac complices?' Johnny* Bird;'Enoch Howell and “Sniba" Arnold, were, aribsted last summer, and sent to the Columbus penitentiary for five years each, for robbery. Freese was a party to tbe crime, but escaped, and next turned up in Washington 'city jail, where he was finally Released. He then came back to his old “stamping-ground," and how many of the late robberies here may be attributable to him can only be guessed at from his character. It is said that sufficient evidence can be adduced against him to ensure his conviction of there charges, and thifhe cannot escape thepeni tentiary. We congratulate Mayor Wilson and the community upon the arrest of this arrant knavo. Oar Book Table. The Historical Maoazini, akd Kotes akd Queries. —Thereare readers, even of thiagbn oration, who will gladly retire from an over crowded and too-exacting present, into tho quiet unexplored nooks and corners of the past, when men 'lived, moved and had their being,’ with leu bustle, less change, and more deliberation altogether; than in there “latter days" in which our lot is cast. To all .such readers wo commend Ho. 1, of Vol.fi, of tho Historical Maqazisb— in which, and tbe numbers to follow, they will find many curi ous and (to the fit few) interesting relics of othor years and the men who lived in them. The Kew York Publisher is Charles B. Rish ardson, from whom any bookseller can order the Historical Magazine. The CosTnttxTAL Monthly tor Fesruary. —The second number of this new monthly, “devoted to literature and national polioy," is on our tabic. We noticed the first number favorably, as it deserved, for several articles vigorously written and for a promising gen eral course or policy ably indicated. The February number, now before tu/is decidedly superior in almost every respect, even to its predeeossor, whose cxcellenco made such promise of its future career. Among tbe names of the contributors to the February number we fiud the following: Ex-Governor Boutwell, Hon. Horace Greeley, Hon. George P. Disosway, A. Oakley Hall, Richard U. Kimball, Henry T. Tuekerman, Frederick W. Shelton, The Author of “Tho Cotton States," J. Warren Newcomb, Jr., Henry P. Loland, Mbs Charles G. Lelaad. The continuation of “Among the Pines" will be found highly interesting in its vivid life-like delineations of experiences “down South."

The Romidhcaiil Regiment at Part - A "soldier writing from Se&brook Island, S. C,, to the Wheeling IntelO-jcnar, gives a graphic account of the battle on the. main landon New Tear's day. We extract the fol lowing in reference lo the Roondhuad|R*gi ment: / The Round Leads had the honor to jbe f the first in the ea; itured fort, and the last out on our retiring. ’ One large s ige gun was found, the rat*tail' file token outj and it is now a loyal cannon. This was on Wednesday afternoon. At night our company, the Washington, Pa., hoys, wen thrown out as pickets, and remained un til Thursday noon, within speaking distance of the enemy. At sunrise oar regiment bad a slight skirmish. Our loss was nonq; rebel loss, two killed. During the the whole region was illuminated by the.blaze of cotton, fired by the planters,'by the light of which we could see the secesh among the trees,, just across a narrow cotton field. They] sent a flag of truce and took two wagon loads of wounded away in the night. Some who were left behind were a fearful proof of the horrors of the bombardment. One tall felloif,. evi dently a planter, with black hair and-eyes, and very handsome, was cut clear in two. Two otben were fonnd dead, terribly-torn, lying beside the former. A gold watch was taken from his person. The 89th N. i., and Bth Miobigan; regi ments stormed a masked battery on Wednes day. Union loss 1 killed and 4 wounded; secesh loss unknown. One poor follow was found hero, and eared, for by us, whose bowels had been entirely ’carried away by a shell. - He, notwithstanding, lived two days. Some idea may.be given of the value of the contrabands to us by this affair. A small negro-hoy; 15 years .old, eared the two regi ments from being cut to pieces, by telling the Colonel go down the road they started on, but to take the one whloh'he pointed.ont. There was a masked battery in the chaparral. On Thursday morning our forces withdrew -to this.side again imrfer a storm of shell.from the boats. The woods were torn for three -miles around. - The rush of niras the heavy balls went over our heads caused little .incli nation to “joke" among the boys. Some came down very near qur front, so danger ously near, that CaptainTempleten picked up a piece of ‘one bursting about 50 feet on. Capt.

The Commissioner of Patents has issoed n circular, In which he says: the cultivation of cotton in the free States is beginning to at tract general attention. Toj prevent failures in it* cultivation, it is‘proper to remark, that it is a in vegetable j physiology that tropical plants can never be aco lima ted north except by a repeated redaction of-new varie #tios non the seed., The attempt to acclimate ‘the,Sea Island cotton, such; as ia now being bronghtlfrom Hilton Head, would prove a failure in any portion of the flreo States. The 'only variety that is capable of-iuccessful cul tivation in these sections now seeking its in troduotiohj is the green seed cotton, such as is now bring raised, extensively in Arkiatas, Missouri, Tennessee and portions of Ken-* tucky, and which producesthe white fibre. The seed should be obtained from these localities.. The modifications of ,: soi! and climate will influence the size of- the plant, the length and fineness of the* fibre , and the produet of the crop, but no reasonable doubt is entertained of the -success of the culture in all the mild portions qf the Middle States, and efforts ere now bring made io procure the proper seed for . distribution. The Commissioner further says that the results of the cultivation of Sorghn the- present ybar, settles the question of its entire practical success, and that 'one of the difficulties presenting itself is the: want of pure seotk .To meet this Want, this division nas ordered seed from Franco for distribution in the ensuing, spring. "Jltmast be berne in mind, however, that; the ‘same; causes; which have produced deterioration hen exists there, and well grounded apprehensions are enter tained that the seed-thus imported may not be free from suspicion. Fartners'Who axe in ter ested, should secure pure seed .'from among themselves when it is possible,.** the season is so Car advanoed that alreot importation from Africa or China would be impracticable.
