Virtus, like all metaphysical subjects, baa been a fertile thetiie for numerous and extended disquisitions. And their prolixity and ambiguity have given rise to controversies which have resulted in the origination t>f various theories. Its intimate connection with human happiness makes it of par Amount importance, and demands for it tnuch attention.and philosophical investigation. Every system that has ever been proposed, however competent may have been Its author to understand the complexity of its relations, and to comprehend all logical inconsistencies, has been considered defective in some of its operations; He, then, that adopts the views of another and follows in bis wake, will be compelled to contend with great opposition, and combat strongly urged objections. But he who blaze? out a new nath. cenerates a theory of his own, ? O ? ~ ~T * | and expects that it will be entirely unexceptionable, aims at a pre-eminence as yet unattainable, and will be doomed to suffer disappointment. Hence an eclectic system is preferable to all others. But it must consist principally of the most rational oneeextant. Virtue is an emotion of nigral approbation or disapprobation, which, in unequal degrees, exists in every individual of the human race, arid is not to bo considered with respect to actions nor agents alone, but both combined. The physical and mental organization of man, his situation, and the relation which he sustains to society and his Creator, lead evidently to the conclusion that his happiness was intended. And it is an impossibility for him to be happy, unless" ho is in possession of an emotion which will approve what is right, condemn what is wrong, and make him feel a moral obligation to perform his - - trr . 11. <V 1 !.i duty, tie lias mieiieciu&i i&cuiues vno perform their respective functions, but it is not their province, independent of ail others, to decide what is. virtuous or vicious.? Deprive him of- the power of practising virtue, and lie is robbed of the only means by which he can obtain happiness. How de plorable would bo tlje condition of the world, if this feeling did not enter into the nature of his mental constitution ! No one would bo morally bound to perform any-duty, as he could not know the rectitude-of actions. There would be no restraint iipon the exercise of the passions, which would increase misery, and ultimately extinguish the race of * ? .? r w , , mankind. The universality of this inherent principle is co-existent with all created intelligence?"diffusa in onines, constans, sempituns.n But it must be admitted that the same actions are not regarded in the same light by a person at all times, nor by different individuals or nations. Were it even admitted?which it of course is?that certain actions were considered virtuous in one * - - - " ---- .* country and vicious in another, still it would not prove this universality to be.false. All emanated from tbeaam^ Divine source, are similarly constituted /ind are alike responsible for every "thought, word and action."? .And while virtue thus tafcy seem to be fluctuating, it remains relatively immutable, and could all persons be subjected to like influences, there would not be any difference in the quality of virtue ;.orr- rather, they would agree in their approbation of a praiseworthy deed, find alBO'in their disapprobation of cihtf which truly merited indigRation. ' ' : - . p . Bat there ate reasons which account for facb agreat disparity in the perceptions of ^^differences A person may act;con?

The complexity with which good and evil are involved, in actions, habits of association, great political errors, cherished superstitions, and a thousand other circumstances, unite lo fortn the dissimilarity, which moralists seize as an overwhelming argument to establish the doctrine that virtue is not dependent upon a natural law implanted in the human heart. *' But while all carry within them the power or capability of being virtuous, they can never become equally so, as there must be degrees in virtue. The whole race are of the same species, yet there is a remarkable difference in their appearances. If even a select number be taken, who enjoy equal adVimlaffM. thorn will flion ho n rlifTnt-onfP in O ' " V-.-V.V..VW ... their mental development. And if they could be examined with respect to their virtue, there would doubtless he as great an irregularity. In this highly favored country, where equal privileges are guarantied to all, to follow their inclinations and enjoy full liberty of opinion, we see some men tower above others in intellectual attainments, and in nothing else is there a more manifest difference than in their morals. In what manner virtue is to be considered, is a question which has caused "words to bo multiplied without wisdom." The perplexity has arisen by attempting to con j _.i .v niuyr iuc cctiiuri ur uyc/tc muepiMJUUiiL 01 LUC other. An action, considered in itself, is nothing but a name, for if we see a person acting apparently in conformity to virtue, while we at the same time are conscious of his affectation, there will arise no emotion of approbation. Nor is it true, though supported by high authority, that "we aro to consider only agents and the emotions which those agents excite." An agent cannot be an object of approbation nor disapprobation until there is first an action. And then the action must be compared with what is absolutely right, in order that it may be ascertained whether or not the circumstances that surrounded him really justified the departure from rectitude. L. Mr. Crow on Pills. The Boston Courier publishes a series of burlesque lectures, in which some capital hits are made. The lecturer, Mr. Crow, thus discourses on pills:? "I took up one of your newspapers, in which I read au account.of a wonderful pill which bad been discovered, and which was recommended and endorsed by all the great and reverend gentlemen of the country. It was set forth in leaded.rpws of types that one pill worn in each pocket will instantly give ease and elasticity to the tightest pantaloons. [Laughter.] A little quantity will create an appetite in the most delicate stomach, or physic a horse. [Renewed laughter.] They will also be found to give a rich flavor to apple-dumplings, and a peculiai zest to pickled oysters; they will thicken soup, reduce cocpulent pessons, and are excellent bait for mouse-traps.

The Cleveland Leader relates tlie following story, which, if true, furnishes a spectacle of genuine virtue, in real life, in comparison with which, the exhibitions of the novelist arc altogether insignificant. Such conduct is its own sweet reward "Five or 6ix years ago, a rich Louisiana planter died, leaving an only heir, a daughter, who was not quite seventeen years old. She, together with her fortune, was placed in the charge of a guardian, who was distantly related to the family. Her fortune atid her iVmarkable beauty attracted the attention of many suitors, among whom was an accomplished young man from St. Louis, whoso only wealth was his profession. His handsome person and fascinating manners won the lady's affections, and, without the knowledge of her guardian, they were privately married. Shortly afterward they moved to St. Louis, where they lived together happily for a time, and a bright fui f ni*a <-? U/.Cmua ? A A. *1? imu iu uc UUIUIC UlClll. Al IIIC (JXpiration of a year, tbe lady having attained tier majority, they returned to New Orleans to claim her fortune and live in the splendid old family mansion. They were coldly received by the occupant, who deliberately informed them that the estate had passed into other hands. They at once applied to the law for redress, and going through the {>rotrae.ted formalities of two or three fruitess suits, tliey were left penniless, and obliged to abandon the case. Friendless and dispirited, they returned to St. Louis, where the husband, like many other husbands, tried to drown the remembrance of his disappointment in the fatal cup. His wife entreated and admonished in vain. A separation was the consequence, and the husband became more reckless and dissipated than ever. Driven at last to desperation, the wife applied for a divorce, obtained it, and retired to a convent This restored the wretched man to his senses ; he abandoned his former associates, returned to the paths of virtue, and became an industrious and respectable citizen. "A few months ago, the lady received a letter from the son of her former guardian, informing her of his father's death, of his inheritance of the estate, %nd of his determination to mak?- full restoration, closing with an appeal to her to forgive his misguided parent, and to come to New Orleans UHU Vlijvr uvi IVI bUUUa WUQ (lb UUUO Will" plied with the generous request; and all her inheritance, together with the accumulated interest, was restored to her.

Jtic reminded lier ot all tbeir .childish attachment, of his deep anguish when she became the wife of another, of the long years of hia silent sorrow. All these remembrances came up before her mind, and gratitude plead eloquently in his favor; but at last the wife triumphed over the woman.

This is the caption of a truthful article in the New York Timtt, and the substance of which the Commercial Advertiser reproduces as worthy of consideration. The pith of it is, (says the last paper,) that there has been a great change in American senttirnent, with regard to political life. The beet talent of tne land, notwithstanding the honors of successful statesmanship, is no longer Ambitious of that kind of distinction. It seeks other channels for the exercise of its powers. There is nothing to attract talent into the field of politics. The rewards of other professions are v^on without selfabasement, and the rivalry of "a more honor* able kind. Politics are becoming odious; public honors are distasteful. All that once warmed the bosom of young ambition, and plumed its wings for a lofty flight; all that made the rewards of political distinction honorable and worth the labor of attaining, has been torn from it by our abominable system of permitting small men to manage the politics of the country. These men occupy the field, and libo theharoies of Vircril I sit in the high places, and by "their foul ( presence and croakin^s drive away honora, ble competitors from the feast.

[From the Newberry Mirror.] Letter from Bon. T. O. Pcrrin. Messrs. Editors:?I send you a letter, addressed by the Hon. T. C. Perrin, President of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company, to a Committee of the citizens of Asbville N. C., requesting him to attend a meeting at that place on Sui day of April last, on the subject of the French Broad Railroad. Will you do me the favor to give the letter a place in the nexl issue of the Mirror. Subscriber. ABBEVILLE, April 6, 1066. Gentlemen :?Your letter inviting tne to an adjourned meeting of your citizens to be held at ABbville on the 6th inat. is before ] mo. T exceedingly regret that previous ap puiukineais, wnicn i cannot disregard, prevent me from attending your meeting. 1 have for months passed intended visiting your section of the country, partly from a desire of forming an acquaintance with your people of the old North State* for whom I have ever had a very high regard, but mainly to obtain information as to how our Railroad is to be extended through your 8tate. I am now a Railroad man, having my interests and feelings strongly interested in this enterprise. . I regard the extension of our Railroad from Greenville through North Carolina, not only important to our Railroad Company, but aa a measure that is to confer upon your State, benefits and advantages, the value of which, even the most sagacious mind cannot now calculate. It will open up new avenues to trade?stimulate the energies of the people?arouse them from their legthargic state?develop the hidden treasures ana abundant resnurnea of your State, and in various ways increase the wealth and happiness of the people. The Eresent generation may enjoy some of the enefits and oqjnforts, but it will be for posterity to enjoy their fruits in their fullest maturity. Without pretending to know all the diffinnltioa in T ll?. ~ ? ? ?I- ? vuiv>?i m kuv nojr, x miuw ouuugu 10 enable ma to ?ay, tbat I have no sort of doubt, that tp build a Railroad from Greenville through your State, to conncet with the Ohioj and even with the regions of the vast North-West, is entirely practicable, and that it can be dons at much less cost than many of the leading Railroads at the North. In this measure patriotism prompts, and self-interest urges us forward to unite with you in this grand enterprise ; and although I cannot be with you in your meeting, you have mv best wishes for almited and harmonious effort, and full and complete success. When the connection between the Greenvill and Columbia Railroad, and the South Carolina Railroad, at or near Aikeu, shall have been made, which I doubt not will soon be done, we will have a line of Rail* road from Greenville to Charleston rarely equalled, and perhaps never excelled : one exempt in a remarkable degree from iniOuence by water, and passing through a sec* tion of country, upon the head waters of the Edisto, abounding in thfe best pine timber, that the earth ha9 ever produced. This route too, I believe, is the nearest of those now projected from Ashville to Charleston. At the next meeting of our Board of- Directors, I will bring this subject before them, and urge upon them to order immediately a survey of the route proposed by you ; and I doubt not that it will be done. Our Company I think is alive to the importance of this connection, and you may rely with confidence upou some of us for co-operation. With high regard for you individually, and an earnest desire for your success, I am very respectfully your obedient servant, r,"Tb08?:C. Pjcrrin, Prest. Messrs. Jas. W. Patton, M. Patton, N. W.
