Repudiation of public obligations of debt always tarnishes the escutcheon of any people who attempt it. The universal sentiment of civilizedriationa is that_the public taith must be preservedlnviolable. In the history of the States of this Union, all approaches to ,the repudiation of public debts have resulted in commercial disaster to the comm unities who have attempted it. Some years ago, the State of Missisaippi, through its Legislature, who were the agents of the people, issued bonds to the amount of two millions of dollars, inbehalt of the old Planter's Rai:lk, -of that State With the interest accrued, these bonds now amount to about three millions -of dollars. These Bonds were issued illegally, it is true, but that is not the fault of those who have' purchased them, and the people of Missis sippi are bound, by every honorable and moral obligation, to accept the act of their agent, the Legislature, and make provision for the payment of the debt. California has set a brilliant example in paying its un constitutionally incurred debt. We observe, with gratification, that the Legislature of Mississippi shows a disposition to respond favorably to Governor M' Willie's special message, which we briefly noticed in yesterday's Posr,reeommend ing the paymen t of these bonds. The State of 'Mississippi is a prosperous one. • Its financial position is as good as that of any other State in the Union,for ithas no constitutionally incurred public debt. A tax which would scarcely be felt by its thriving' citizens would pay this debt and relieve the State from the stigma which its repudiation has for many years thrown upon its character. Governor 31'Willie has set a brilli:int ex ample to those who woulci,if it were possible, refuse to perform public contracts, in this community. Here, the: contractsof our municipal bonds, issued to railroads, have been decided to be legal, and our courts have ruled that it is the duty of the people to preserve them inviolate. Here repudia tion would be against law as well as against honor and morality. We are glad to observe that public sentiment on this subject, which for a time was misled by demagogues, is fast assuming a healthy tone. The hardship upon us is.great, <the people of this com munity are, in view of the repeated legal decisions in the railroad bond cases, mak *rig up their minds sternly to resist repudia ton, and to avoid the evils which it would entail upon the city and county. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. With regard to the preSident's Message, it is stated that but ono proof has been drawn from the types and that was in the custody of the President himself. An'other repdrter states that if the House be not organized by Tuesday, the Message will bo sent in without further, delay. MRS. EMMA WALLER. Those who admire splendid acting will be pleased to learn that this great artist has found it possible to prolong her engagement at the Pittsburgh Thes4re for three Rights. This was unexpected, both to herself and the manage; i ment, but we do not hesitate to say itswill prove most gratifying to the playgoing public: To-night she will appear as Julia in Shortliart Knowles' beautiful and ever popular play of 4 , The HunchbaCk." Daniel Webster on Abolition. It is no wonder that Abolitionism hates the memory of Daniel Webster. It was he who said : " Now, sir, this prejudice has beei produced by the incessant attrition of Aboli tion,.doctrines by Abolition presses and Aboli tion lectures on the common mind. No drum head, in the longest day's march, was ever more incessantly beaten than the feelings of the public in certain parts of the North. They hive been beaten every month,and every week. by the din and roll and rub-a-dub of Abolition lectures, and that it is which has created these prejudices." It was for having said and for having Said on the same memorable occa sion, that it was time New England had con quered her prejudices against the South, that Abolitionism desecrates the memory of -Web ster,and demands that his statue,which has been erected near the Arassmehusetts State House, shall be removed.

DEATH OF THEODORE REDGWICK. The death of Mr. Theodore Sedgwick, , United States District Attorney of the &fathom District of New York, is announced us having taken place on Thursday evening of last week i at . Stoekbridge, 31assachusetts. Ho had gone home to the beautiful village where he was born to close his caree' on esiith. How much is expressed in that form of oriental benediction' may you die,among your kindred." Mr. Sedgwick was ono of a remarkable fam ily. Hewes son of Hon. Theodore Sedgwick, of Massachusetts, and grandson of Hon. Theo &ore Sedgwick, L.L. D., of-the same State. Judge Sedgwick, the grandfather, was edu cated, at Yale College, and commenced the practice. of law in Berkshire county, Massa chusetts, in 1776, in which year he went to Canada', as an aid to Gen. Thomas. He was repeatedly ft member of the Legislature, and soon after the adoption of theStato Constitution he was - one of a council, who procured a con struction 'to that: instrument which 'abolished slavery in .Massachusetts. In 1785 be fixed his residence in the town of Stockbridge, and that year and the succeeding, -he was a member of Congress under the Confederation. In 1788, he was a leading advocate for the adoption of the Constitution of the United States, in the State Convention, and also Speaker of the House of Representative.. From 1789, until his death in 1813, at the age of GG years, Judge Sedgwick was with scarcely any interruption either a representative, or senator in Congress, or a Judge of the Supreme Court of Massachu setts. lie was a man of remarkable attain ments, literary and scientific as well as legal and political, and lived an active, honored, and useful life, and died universally esteemed. The, sons of Judge Sedgwick, Theodore, Henry D., and Charles were all bred to the Bar. The former lived and died at the family .residence in Stockbridge, devoting much of his time and means to forwarding the Agricultu ral and other public interests of his country. Ho was a man of enlarged heart, great ehari ticai and immense personal influence. He died suddenly while speaking at an Agricultural dinner in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, about it fteen years ago. DEC. 13 Charles Sedgwick, Esq., the third son is still living, we believe, at Lenox, Massachusetts. He has all his life, occupied honorable and re sponsible positions in his native county. Miss Catherine M. Sedgwick, the sister of these gentlemen, has a reputation wherever the English language is read or spoken,as an author ess of originality and ability. Tho New Eng land Tales, The Linwoods, Hope Leslie, and, indeed, all her other novels are remarkable for their purity of style, excellent morality, and absorbing interest. She still resides at Stock bridge, the cherished idol of a large circle of loving friends. The mother of tho subject of the present notice, Mrs.-Susan Sedgwick Is also the author of several pleasant books. Through her he was connected with the Livingstons, the Jays, the Ellerys, and other well known families of Now York. Sho is a lady of queenly presence, and a model of well-bred gentility. Her son, who is now deceased, enjoyed the highest advantages of education, which both Europe and America could afford. lit, Nvail the author of a " Life of Sir William Living ston " of New Jersey, and In 1640, he prepared a collection of the political writings of William Ligget. He also published an elaborate trea tise on the measure of damages or an inquiry into the principles which govern the amount of compensation in suits of law. Ile contributed largely on the social, literary anti political topics of the times to various peri odicals of the day. His essays and fugitive pieces, are quite numerous, and possess such merit that they are worthy of being published in a connected form properly edited. As a lawyer, ho ranked among the first of his profession at the New York Bar. As a politician he seems almost to have inherited the Conservative Democratic sentiments of his an cestors. As a literary man. he belonged to the pure and solid school, seeking rather to pro mulgate truth, to instruct and to amuse, rather than to create sensation. Ho was about 5 years of age, and leaves Ise bind him three children, besides a very large circle of connexions, friends and acquaintan ces who will sincerely movn his loss.

E1E11213 For the Pittsburgh Post.] NOVEMBX,B.,: 10 1859. • MR. EDITOR.—You will confar a favor on me by inserting the inclosed letter from Gen. J. N. Parviance, of Butlor„lcia the subject of the "History of the Western Insurrection." The commendation of Mr. Purviance, is grati fying to me, coming from one who has read ilinhook of which he speaks, and who has the capacity to form a just opinion of it, which is notlhe case, with some of our flippant editors of the Pittsburgh pr6s. I have other letters similar to thatof Mr. Purviance, from persons at a distance, who have read my work with im partiality, and are competent to appreciate it: I take this occasion to say, emphatically, that the narrow view taken by some of the vdityrs referred to, that my work is only a vin dication of my father from the charge of trea son; is not correct.. It is what it professes to be, a "History of the Western Insurrection," and, at the same time, as is truly stated by Mr. Purviance, a vindication of the inhabitants of Pittsburgh at that time, from the false and nui dacious stigme; of cowardice and treason, made by the author of the "History or Pittsburgh." It is a vindication of the eminent and patriotic men of Western Pennsylvania, from the same imputation, and, also, a disproof of the asser tion, that the insurrection was put down by a military force, when, in fact, it was arrested by the moral energy of the people themselves, just as the same sense of what is duo to the laws and safety of the Union, will, I trust, in duce the moral and patriotic portion of the Unioalto frown upon, and, by active exertions, put down those treasonable designs of fanatics, which now threaten our glorious union of States, by showing the Southern States the ne cesSity of adopting measures for their self preservation. I regard the Union as the great est political blessing we enjoy, and I consider disunion as the greatest curse that van halal us. The traitor abolitionists openly - avow this to be their object, and if in the South there be these who look to the same fatal measure, it is not of choice but from necessity for self-preser vation, and as a lamentable alternative. But I firmly believe that the great majority of the South, as well as of the North, cling to the Union ardently and sincerely. Yours, 1.1.. N. 11. M. BRACKEN RIDO E: Dear Sic 1. take plesure in acknowledging the receipt of a copy of your o History of the Western Insurrection, - which you were kind enough b, prient to me. ili t ecept my thanks for it . _ It is a work that si Mold have a place in every library in Western Pennsylvnia. As a masterly and truthful vindication of the separation of many of the distinguished and patriotic men of that day, it could not be excelled. Many of the apparently leading 111C11 o f those trying' times, acting, doubtless, from the, purest and best of motive, ; and who, at no period of their lives, would have been found in a position of rebellion to the laws of their country, ur to the lawfully constituted author ities, were, from circumstances wholly beyond their control, compelled, for the general good, to occupy positions, not of their own selection from choice, but that they might the bettor and more effectually control the raging ele ments that. existed wide-spread over a large and thinly settled country. Your work contains irrefutable evidence by gentlemen of the highest standing for integri ty and honor, in vindication of the memory and reputation of your father from the slight est., suspicion that he acted from any other than patriotic motives. When 1 finished reading it,you can scarcely imagine the perfect delight it affords ins to contemplate theirresist able power of truth over falsehood and error. And that, although it has been the lot of etlolo of our purest and host men to suffer oblmmy and reproach from men, often actuated by mercenary motives, and a total disregard of honor and truth ; yet time, the great regula tor and exponent of nicn's actions, motives and principles in almost every imitarice is sure to give truth the mastery." Over sixty years have rolled away since thrq.,, stirring and eventful times, and now truthful histury,in the clearest lighter human testimo ny, fully vindicates the memory of the pa triotic rasa of the then town of Pittsburgh. I am, very truly, yours, Jaws N. PUI:VIAN, An interesting and Irnpre..l%e Ceremony at Heading. In the Catholic church of Reading on Thurs day morning, was witnessed that Trios; beauti ful and impressive ceremony of the Church, the taking of the white veil by a numhor of young ladies. An unusual one at all times, find particularly so it: a town like Reading, it attracted together in the Church of the Rev. Mr. Kumzer a very large number of peopl e from the county Jf Berks. and various other portions of the State. The church Wit, no densely filled, that it was dittleult even to find standing r, our. The decorations of the rh urch 1V121 . 13 very tasteful, and beautifully in keeping with the solemn ceremony that had called the audience together The particular order to which theta young ladies wort) to devote them selves for life was that of the Miters of Mary, one of the most extensive and influential in the Church. Among the clergymen present were the Very Rey. Dr. Neuman, Itt,hop of Pennsylvania: Rev. C. J. H. Carter, of the Church of the As suinption, Philadelphia; of the Church of St. Patrich, Phiati,elphire , Rev. Mr Runzer, of Reading ; Rev. IL Mcm ation, and Rev. J M ermie]. Mr. Jas. 5 Reilly, of the College of Philadelphia. acted as tuattgr of ceremonies, and assisted the' clergymen in the religious ceremonies. ROW. William O'Hara, of Philadelphia, de livered a brief and excellent discourse from the Fourteenth Psalm. This ceremony, which constituted the formal reception of the ie,stulents into the order, wits linden:UW.li to typify their h.rmel renunciation of the vanity of the world, and their willing. nee; 1.0 enter into the probationary period. This being coii4uded, the young ladies retired to an anteroom, uecempariifl•o by several of the order. An interval elapsed,' which ~;as occu pied by the performance of a religious ceremony and a beatifui of music. The girls re entered in the rOStIIO . 4O of their order, consisting of a long blue habit, awhile teit boun4 around the brows, and hanging over the shoulders a white cape of muslin, and slippers. The Bish op gave them individually his blessing, and plat _ed on their heads the crown of orange blossoms which lig been removed in the former part of the ceremony. The following are the names of the young ladies assuming the veil, together with those adopted by themselves in entering the order: Miss Rebecca NfeElhene, of Philadel phia, assuming the name of Sister Mary Miss Mary Heel, of Philadelphia, assuming the name of Sister Mary 4.egina. Miss Mary Marron, of Philadelphia, assum ing the none of Sister Mary l3enedicte. Miss Caroline Gilbert, of Philadelphia, iv.u.st• niino‘,..-,snme of Mary John. Miss Catherine "A...ramm, of Irniladelphia, assuming the name of Mary Henrietta, Miss Frances Grant, of York, Pa.; assuming the name of Mary Elizabeth. At half past one o'clock, the ceremonies con cluded, and the six young ladies that had en tered the church, apparently so Cull of life and hope, arrayed in the richest of bridal costumes, now departed in the humble habit of their or der. The contrast alone was singular and impres sive. N othi ng exemplified more than this the change that haft come over the spirit of their lives—the solemn self-sacrifice that had been voluntarily accepted. The world and all its pleasures, its temporary enjoyments'. and sinful fascinations, had been renounced, and forever apart from anything that might contribute to wean them from that life of pure and humble devotion to Christ to which they had devoted themselves. It was a hard thing to conceive that so much had been sacrificed—that so mudh could be sacrificed—by those so young and beautiful. Yet it was a noble ex amplification of self-donial,and brought vividly to recollection those eloquent and appropriate lines of Milton : ‘"Eito dear to Heaven is saintly chastity, That when a soul ie found sincerely so, A. thousand liveried angels lacquey her, Driving far oft each thing of sin and guilt: And In clear dream and solemn vision, Toll her of things that no gross ear can hear; Till oft converse with heavenly habitants aegis to cast a beam on the outward shape, The unpolluted temple of the mind, Asd terns it, by degrees, to the soul's essence, Till all be made immortal" Republicanism. Republicanism, according to its supporters just now, is SOUND IN TNEORE, blAt "insane" IN PRACTICE. The man who professes its principles is a patriot and Christian ; the man who acts them out is iin " insane " traitot and murderer !

BRACKENRIDGE Brri.rol., December 7, 11139 , 4 , RIVER AND RAILIIDAD MATTERS. Stage of Water. Bevan feet water in'tho channel.: THE SINKING OF THE STEAMER ROCHESTER. —We aro indebted to D. B. McCook, Esq., second clerk of the steamer Rochester, which sunk at Eagle Hollow, four miles above son, Lid., on Wednesday night, 7th inst., for the following particulars of the disaster: On that night a heavy fog prevailed, so dense that the pilot was unable to see the jacks staff. At fifteen minutes past ton en effort was made to land at the point named, on the Indi ana shore; the landing was easily effected, but the boat struck a sharp rock on the shore; which made a hole in the side of the boat, causing her to sink to the cabin floor in seven minutes. The chimneys fell overboard on the starboard side sin the barges in tow, and the stoves fell down and set the cabin on fire. The crow extinguished the flames, and the stoves having burned through the floor fell into the river. The second engineer, George Atkinson, nar rowly escaped with his life. HO was on watch at the engine, and finding the boat sinking, he ran back to let off the steam from the boilers to prevent an explosion, (the boat having list ed to starboard,) and propped up the throttle valve with a piece of pig metal. While se do ing the water ran down his back, there being then five feet in the engine room, ind it was with difficulty be was rescued by a passenger, who reached him a pole and drugged him out. When he got ashore his clothes were frozen fast to hie body. An hour after the boat sunk the crew had kindled a tire on shore and the passengers were all safely landed. The thermometer stood at two degrees below zero and the ground was covered with snow to the depth of six inches. The steamboat Neptune, Captain Poe, hear ing of the dieter at Madison, went up and got along Aile at two o'clo4, after a long search in the fog. Tim passengers and crow were taken on board and rendered comfortable as possible—having been served with hot coffee and refreshments. The passengers and crew were proffered a free passage home. The cabin crow accepted the kind offer and the Neptune is now on her way up. Some of the passen gers came as far as Cincinnati on the mull boat. The trunk of the flrsti*gineer, Daniel Gru. ham, was rifled, aftreebaing„earried ashore, of all the clothing it contaigild, and papers, of value only to the owners. The cargo of the Rochester consisted of flour, heed, fire clay, hone dust, rosin, whisky, pig iron, wheat and hides, in all 27(1 tons, valued at $lO,OOO and principally insured. The boat was worth SS,OI/0 and insured for 54,000. When the water recedes it is thought a large portion of the cargo and machinery can b saved. Mr. M'Cook. second clerk, and Mr. Atkin son, second engineer, remained with the wreck until Friday when the water was up to the Texas on the starboard end to the cabin floor on the starboard side, and rising rapidly. The first and second mates are with the wreck, taking out some freight. They have mon at work, and all walk to and from Madison, four miles for their meals. Captain J. J. Robinson and Andrew Robinson, clerk, aro at the Madison [tome, Madison, awaiting the action of the Board of U nder rit,rs, whom they have noti fied to come and take charge of the wreck. The ottieersand crew de,ire to return thanks to Cliptain Poe of the Neptune, for kind ollice3 rendered to tho pwiengere and crow of the Rochest,r. A r ACT TB B E NOT En.—Within the last two Pears the Pennsylvania Railroad Catnpany has carried over two millions of passem upon their road, and in all that number not a gers single one has been killed in the care. Accidents, to be sure, have happenod, but they were either to persons standing on platforms er attempting to ge.. on or oil' the cars while in !notion. To those seated in the ears, not en accident !IBS, in this vast number of persons resulted in death.
