We have so frequently, but from ques tionable quarters, heard strange perversion of consiitutional laws in social relation-., that we have become somewhat dulled to the sound of it ; but when such leveline doctrines proceed from the mouth, and are spread before the world from the pen, of 6uch men as Dr. Orville Dewey, we feel it our duty to protest. In a recent lecture in this city, Dr. Dewey declared it as hi sentiment, that ih" advice ot the apostle, counseling to the vi ie ulinii'n to the husband, is a rgu la'inn fii only for a d irk age. I:i ragard to the changes of lime and the superior linht of the present day, we will oberve, that if the women are since greatly ad vanced, so also, we will " sudpo-e, are the men ; and 11 we nusoami, 111 me men mi darkness of that age, might properly be regarded as the head of a household ; so mn the men of a day of comparative fright light be worthy of that position. A 'so, ihou.h '0 the wives it is said, "ub ma yourselves" jet we can neither recall m had any passage in the Bible, where the husbttud is told to command the wife. On the contrary, the government of the , . husband is only recognized as a govern ment of love and protection. Tho union of the two principles, of leverence in the wife, of art, ctionatc guardianship in the husband, seems to us to give to the relationship o elevated moral beauty worthy of the Creator's constitution, worthy of the wisdom of God. Dai more than this, the principles, or rather the non-principies.the disorganizing, j leveling tendencies of this particular phase of the Woman's Rights agitation, lead to d-wer chasm in Chri.tian,sequeni:e than .

God out of heaven, prepared as a br.de J , e dorned for her husband." The church of , ;od s in these verses declared to be in the same relation to Chri-l, as the wife to ihe husVind. Destroy the integrity ot the Christian marriage, and the symbols em ployed to represent to us live dependence of the church and the providence of Chnt. lose their whole signiSccnce. We have spoken of the Woman's R-hn agiution.-where society bears .hirdiw in its laws or want of laws upon .n lntess woman,!, t the old law be changed, . 1 .. notar IrW be made. The Bible nohere countenances tyranny in man F.ven at the fall, it is woman only who is addressed in the declaration : "He shall rule over thee;" the man is told to exercise Ins authoiity as a punishment. And in " he New TesiiniS.nl the real heaven-vested rights of woman are so carefully walled arouud by every word addressed to husbands and fathers, that we can not see how the inlraction of gospei decrees can in anv way benefit the sex. The whole demeanor o! unnsi lowarus woman is one of tender respect, regard and confidence, both in language and act. He settles the lights of women, not by giving them the lawful license of divorce and re-marriage, but by forbidding the J V . . . . husband to put away his wife, except for unfaithfulness ; and then making it crimi tial for aoy other man to marry her. What we wish to recoi4 our most dation of woman by false pition and by teachings at war wiir God's law'. We wish society to view fully ana thoughtfully" the great truth, that all necessary an.rlio- ratiou may be best effected without ! deforming the architectural proportions of ! , t u . o We feel deeply for those of the finer who .re. by the various haps of lire. thrown out of the dole cf fathers'. j husbands', Or brothers' CSTC We would favor in everyway the ODenmr of new sources ot independence to these tender claimants upon our sympathies our jus. w tice.

Hut is it necessary for this, that woman should start madly from the graceful orbit of duty duty, we are afraid the word is like to become obsolete in some circles and in her ambitious endeavor to drag dowu man from the responsible position nature and necessity asigned to him, trail her sex in the dust ? Must we have I women brazening the stare of the mob, in Boomer costumes ? meeting in public rooms to declare their conterr.pt cf Chris tian obligations, and their fitness for masculine avocations ? openly denouncing the law of God, written not more strongly in the Revealed Will, than in Sex, with all its inevitable riercssitv and invili Lie destiny, its heavy responsibilities and vital ! ,r, t on 1 u.:n ..11 .k:. .1,.:.. - ' uu'U J . nuj win an Ill's .UU?

Such a mother will not need to send her dauchtcr forth to do battle for her rights against the other sex : nor will she lear to see her son take charge of the happiness of another woman, nor fee! it necessary to instruct her daughter-in-law in the religion of disobedience to her natural head. Nature, it is true, binds woman "fast in fate.'' However she may struggle to be man, she will still be woman. 1 here- fore, to a certain extent, the subverting doctrines put forth as energetically, neu tralize themselves ; but much mischief may still be done by false teaching, and particulatly by encouragement frcra high authority. We do not lightly as JDr Dewey to retract ; but we trust he will not underrate his responsibility to the com munity as a moral teacher, and that he will at least review his positions on this all-important subject.

COUNTY, PENN., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1852. The Lost and Found. A few day since the following amusing incident took place iu one of the numerous hotels in this city : A boardor and lodger, before lying down after dinuer for a short tiinu, in Lis room, i-'ok a rc-ry valuable diamond breastpin from his airt bosom, Wrapped it iu a paper, placed it in a drawer, then comfortably and speedily made his trip into the " land of Xod." After a short nap, he arose, pre pared to go out, and looked for his breast pin. The breastpin was gone. Determined not to lose so valuable a piece of property so easily, the gentleman proceeded to inform tho proprietor of the hotel of the sudden and mysterious disap pearance of Lis goods and chattels. The proprietor asked him who the servant was that waited ou him. Tho boarder who by the by, speaks only French replied, 4 Such a one. He looks like a French man, but he does not speak the language." " Oho !" thought the proprietor, " there is something wrong.'' A note was sent to a well known officer of police, informing him of the circumstances, and also that the waiter was a Frenchman who did not speak French. Tha officer came to the Lotel. The waiter was sent for. Nothing had been said to him about the pin or its loss. He wa3 shown into a private room aud intro- uceJ to officer.

His fellows had contracted bad habits in the expendi ture of similar perquisites which his father had withheld from Lim, and were penniless iu vice. Ho was able, with a cood character, to commence a small business, and ho now stands at the head of publishers in this country. Most of his j companions in apprenticeship are miserably poor and degraded. (A hint for appren tices.) Tower of Imagination.

The carpet is in a square piece, aud measures about six yards in length, and five yards in width. It ii of Mosaic pattern, and io exquisitely wrought, that the beholder iuitantly regards it, at first sight, as a richly grtuped painting on can vass. We are informed, that in its fabri cation three thousand thread were used to the square inch, and that the cost of the article, of the dimensions stated, is over ?10U0. Three hundred color are wade to appear in the filling up of the bane, and these, with the admirable perspective ob served, aud the correctness of chvinjusruro, are really ealoulatcd to deceive the behol der, who can not comprehend how such marvellous effects can be conveyed to the eye by the intricacies of thread, through the agency of the loom. Those who have visited the White House at Washington, on festive occasions, or general reception days, can not but l ave observed the carpet on the floor of the East Room, the dimen sions of which exceed 1,000 yards. This carpet was considered the chrf tfurnvre of American skill, and was, while its colors retained their freshness and brilliancy, re . liv everv American who mails it Inn sub ject of remark. We fear, however, that our New England manufacturers will be compelled to enlarge the compass of their ingenuity, or otherwise the village of Hal ifax, a town almost unknown to geograph ers, will hereafter bear away the palm, not only from the United States, but even Persia, Belgium, Flanders, France and all other countries and cities heretofore re nowned for the extent in art to which they had carried their carpet weaving.

There are two brothers in the Ilhode Island Legislature, named Christopher Columbus Putter, and Anier iranus Vctpuvius I'otter, who are ao much alike, that it is doubted whether either knows himself from his brother. The 1'rovidence Journal (Whig) says : "Whether they go into each other' houses, eat each other's dinners, mad pay c-ab other's debts, we do not know. Whether if one of them should take a ghats of brandy not that either of then, would do such a thing the other might be trpsy, we cau not say ; and whether if one of them should be very sick, the other might not die by mistake, is a quehtkn which we hope may not be solved in a long time. Both are Biembsrs of the (envral Assembly Christopher a Whig, and Americus a leiuocrat ; and there will be a pretty muss when they get to New port. Not a soul in the house rati tell oue from the other ; and tha Democrat will be ruoaiug to Christopher, and th Whigs to Americus, with ail the secreU of thpir ruariwttva nurliea. We K:lva mr- ie- ,mt;m.. .nls,,nl,H . nnlitleal couvsr.a ion with the Democr t c brother, who always had the generosity to inter rupt us before we got upon dangerous ground. Now, when we meet either, wo say, as we take his hand, "Is this you or your brother V If it be Christopher, he sayo, "it is I," and ws talk about politics; if it be Americus, ke says, "It is not 1 it is my brother," and we talk about tho weather. We should advise them to wear a badge around their hats, like tho railroad conductors ; but then they would be sure to change hats, and that would make it worse." A new Coal Reoiox about to be Opined. A proposition is now before the Legislature to authorize the Mahanoy railroad eompany to build a three foot Jam across the Susquehanna at the termi nus of their road, twelve miles east of Sunbury, for the purpose of making s basin and connection with the Pennsylva nia canal, for the purpose of sending to market the fine free burning anthracite of that rich coal region. It is proposed to send to market two hundred thousand tons of this coal uext season, if this privileg be extended to the company. As this will add largely to our etna revenues, develope a coal region now shut out from market, and people a wilderness, we trust the project will be favorably re ceived. The demand for coal is rapidly increasing ; the Susquehanna region has never yet been able to supply the section of country nearest to it ; and therefore should there be the greater indueementa u,u . 6 Xhe barber shop of Dr. Dorris was also robbed of a truuk, containing about sixty dollars. Several arrests have been made by the police, but they have as yet failed to capture the rogues. Two or three men have been arrested, with part of the above described stolen property in their possession. rnJThe great machine for boring the Hoosic mountain, of which an accoun was given some weeks ago in the Ledger, is expected at Greenfield, Mass., in the course of a few days, and arrmgements are making at each town on the line of the road to provide teams to get it from Greenfield to the mountain. This will be an interesting experiment, the successful result of which will produce a great change in the laying out and construction cf rail roads. If mountains may be tunnelled without the enormous expense which has heretofore been incurred, the inconveni ences and risks of inclined planes may be altogether avoided. Gems of Thought.
