I felt her breath in the breezes of even, Her robe floated over the blue of heaven, "Wherever I roved, over vale, wood, or bill, 'The Spirit of Beauty would follow me still. Notau elm ita graceful foliage wreathed, Not a wild brier rose its fragrance breathed, Not a violet opened its eyes of blue, Not a plant or flower in the valley grew, Not an ivy carcssing the rock, or the wall, >But the Spirit of Beauty was over them all! OABIBALD'S WIFE. Garibaldi, in his autobiography, gives this ; account of his meeting with his wife : "I one day cast a casual glance at a horse j in the Durraj.(the eastern part of the entrance of the Jayuna,) and there observed a young female whose appearance struck mo as having something very extraordinary. So powerful was the impression made upon imA q( lino mnmAnl f" ? ..UV ?? >uu UUIIICIII, IUVIUI1. UUIIl auiuu UilUMj which I was able fully to ascertain, that I gave orders and was trasported towards the bouse. But then I knew of no one to whom I could apply for an introduction I soon, however, mot with a person, an inhabitant of the town, who had been aci " quainted with mo froiOthe time of my arrival. I soon received an invitation to take . . coffee with his family, and the first person who entered was the lady who had so mys- J leriously but irresistibly drawn mo to the j place. I saluted her; we were soon ac-i quainted; and I found thai the hidden : treasure which I had discovered was of rare [ and inestimable worth. ^ But I have since reproached myself for removing her from her peaceful, native retirement to soenes of danger, toil and suffering. I felt most deeply self-reproached on that day when at the mouth of the Po, having landed in our retreat from an Austrian squadron, < 'while stitl lfopirSg to restore her life, on If&ing her pulse I found hor,* corpse, and sang the hymn of despair. I prayed for forgiveness, for I tbo't of the sin of taking herttfih Lor hpuse. Tbd rest of the lady's story is soon told.? She accompanied her husband in hia^. dangerous advcDturea, fought by bis side on sea <tnd land, received a ball through her bat, cut off-a. tress: of her hair; and * (raveled along from Caritabani to Lages, sixty wild miles.

Cutser, Harrison & Co., in tbcir annual, circular, liave tlje following io regard to the present crop : The position and prospects of the growing crop do not, in the main, vary much from those at this date last3*ear, excepting that the overflowed lands were relioved from waler several Weeks earlier this seasoti than last; and, consequently, half to threefourtlrcrops may be looked from this scource a3 the occurrence of killing frost may bo early or late. Though the spring was gen crally late, yet good stands wero secured, and the prospect up to tho first week of August was higly favorable, except on some upland districts, especicte, especially of Mississippi, Northern and Northwectern Louisiana, and tho contiguous portions of Arkansas and Texas, and in South Carolina where littln r.iin luul fnllrm f,?i- ?.?? months. The cousequcnc of the August ! rains on stunted and almost sapless plants ! was a very heavy shedding, leaving little or no prospect of recuperation, unless tho most favorable and improbable combination ] .?il.? -i?n A i ' VI ntmuci cuuuiu UCUUT UJTOUgU 1116 full. The bottom land crops are everywhere good, and will yield heavily, notwithstanding the prevalence of rust and rot, result of August rains. It must be borne in mind, however, that though the Mississippi river and bayou crops aro as forward ns j last year, still the upland crop generally ! is about a week later than then ; on the ! r _ _ lit.. - - 1 uriiKT, as wen aa oouom lands in general, a large crop is certain ; but on uplands the yield ihust be very short if frost should come sufficiently early to prevent the maturity of anv second rrrmvlh tlmt ?nnv ? o ; J taken place since the middle of August. It was to the uyueual fact tlrtit slieh a second growth d^id mature lust year that the large crop must, be attributed.

As regards quality, the staple I is likely to he goodf-but much trash may be ! expected as the result of the exuperance of, the river cropB. Taking into* nccoutit the j natural increase of 150,000 bales, and flic same amount from overflowed lands in ex- j cess of^last. year, wc think the crop likely ' to reach 4,000,000, though this estimate is liable both to diminution or increase, as the rccurrecc of frost may bo earlier or later than the average date of the past fiflcen years, which lias beou tbe 10th of November. No reliable estimate of the crop-,al largo can now be made, having reference solely to the receipts at the ports early in the season, as compared with the previous j rears, ill cnnscminnon nf tl.o I?

The question cannot be too often or too earnestly pressed upon tho public mind, "What would have been the result of tlio Harper's Ferry insurrectionary movement if Mr. Seward bad been in tlio Presidential cbnir?" The avowed champion of "liighcrJuwism," the author and propagandist of j that false and iufainous doctrine of ' irrepres- | siblo conflict" which seeks to convince the people of the North thnt tbo only torms upon which the Union can he maintained is the extermination of llio institution of slavery in the Southern States ; the man who bas done more than nil others to consolidate tbo anti slavery feeling of tho North into a political organization pledged to an unceasing war upon the Constitution of the country and the rights of fifteen sovereign States of this Union: the Presidential | candidate who relies for success upon the support of men liko Wade, Wilson and Giddings; who proclaim to the country that the m eat ohicct of Amcri?an n.itrioLism w rf - 4 is to tear asunder the bonds of friendly brotherhood which bold this great Union together; who, by their ppublic speeches in the Senate Chamber, in the House of Representatives and upon the hustings, have phrenzied the public mind on the subject of slavery, ntwl sonic* nf wlinm bnvn not hesitated lo invoke lite aid of British arms in the fou! gnd bloody, xvork of negro rebellion an&igwrrsclion.?AVo . repeal the question, ^bat would the President elected by 6uch men, and surrounded by such influences and associations, do in the event of another Harper's Ferry outbreak ? What would have been our condition to day if in the -place of President Buchanan, tho Constitution and tlie Law, we had Mr. Seward's "higher-lawism" ftnd "'irrepressible conflict" in possession of the Federal Government ? Would Mr. Seward bave Btayed the arm of tbc bold marader who had been stimulated to his murderous work by his own doctrines and teachings? Would Wade, I *' Sumner and Giddings, as his constitutional advisers, have counselled the enforcement of laws which they pronounce infamous, 1 ii -i -i?-i~ ; OIIU IIIU JUKI I^IIIIICIIC Ul UJCII- ?

Not only so, but what would have been the effect upo?i Brown and his associates if they had felt conscious that the President of tho United ^States and the party in possession of the Government sympathized with their movement, and would therefore hold them harmless for their crimes and outrages? These inquiries need no answer at our hands. Tho man whose in'md does not realize tho truths which weBeek to illustrate is lost to reasoti and argument.?No man who love9 his country, and would preserve its institution, will fail to appreciate the magnitude of the subject. The danger, for the present, is past. Wo rest again in peace aud security. The Constitution and laws of the land have been vindicated; the prompt and decisive action of a President true to bis oath of office aqd faithful to tho, requirements of the Constitution,. has effectually quelled* this dangerous movement, and at the same time, rebuked the lawless, spirit which instigated its iuception.
