REMINISCENCES OF AN AWFUL EVKNT. ..* - , A few prints adorned the white washed t walls of the primitive salle a muvgttr. Some i of them were interesting as representations of < scenes that occurred during the awful cat as- | trophe of the Roseberg in 1806, when the ' mountain slipped and hundreds of human be- < " - " I ings, houses, chalets, herusoi came, larmsauu > < dairies, were destroyed in five minutes. The j < * traces of this dread event, as seen from the I? lake ofLuoerne, are so fresh, that it is difficult I. to believe that it did not take plane yestearday ; I ( the utter ruin and desolation being still more ! i strongly marked by the contrast w ith the sini- ! j ling scenes around. Cne of the prints that in- j I terested me most was that representing the in- j f cident of the sleeping infant iu its cradle, float- \ ing dowu the lake, the balance of the little ark 1 being kept by the house cat, which remained at ' the child's feet. * The placid countenance of the unconscious t slumberer amid the surrounding wreck, and the s uneasy looks of the poor cat who gazed rue- r fully at the waves, would make a good subject * for a picture. There are thousand well-known j - ?:?!. *i... , ato ies and a.iecuoies comiecit-u wuu tuc ta- i laiaitous phenomenon; some very touching c and others relating to the escapes quite miracu- f lous. Husbands were separated from their s wives, parents from their children. One of j s the mostaffecting is that of a bridal party which ! \ had just left the little church of Goldau, after ! c assisting at the union of two lovers. The joy- I f ous procession advanced down the street, pre j t ceded by a band of rustic musicians. In the I 'J centre, surrounded by their friends, walked the I d youthful brides room and his blushing bride, i 1 the prettiest girl in the village. They had been attached since childhood, and every one sym- I pathized in their happiness The young man ! r carried in his hand the " bouquet de marriage." c About half way down the street lived an old t darue, the school-mistress, who had instructed I the pretty Katchen in her childhood, but was t too infirm to join the wedding train. When c thev reached the door, the young bride disen- 1 gaged her arm from that of her companion, v and whispered to him that she would be back t in a moment, rat) into rhe house to embrace her x old preceptress. During that moment the ca- t tastrophe took place ! The ground gave way c beneath the feet of the bridal party, clouds of a dust darkened the air; a torrent of mud, min- a gled with stones and rubbish, came Bowing v down from the mountain; and all was ruin d and desolation. The bridegroom escaped with- J s oat any more serious damage than that of be- a itig thrown down and stunned. il He soon recoverd his senses, and freeing u himself by a desperate effort from the rubbish s in which he was half buried staggered to his feet, his bridal bouquet still grasped in his hand and looked about for the house into which his v beloved had entered. It was gone! Every j trace of the village had disappeared, not a ves- g tige of the old familiar scenes of his childhood . met the eyes of the unfortanate young man. j He ran wild about from one heap of ruins to | another, calling loudly on his bride, but there v was no answer. lie interrogated the few he- s wildered individuals whom he met flying they j knew not where, or else in search of their , friends; he demanded of them with frantic j gestures whether they had seen his Katclicn; , but no one knew anything about her. t For three long years the unhappy man con. d tinued his distracted search ; no efforts could induce him to desist, or win him away from t the fatal spot. Night and day, still carrying j the faded remains of the marriage boquet, his , spectral form might be seen wandering about j among the ruins, and his voico calling on his s lost one, now in accents of hopeless despair, t and then with wild andfeveiish anxiety as a ? gleam of hope that she would answer nis cues j crossed his disordered brain. At length his ( restless footsteps were heard no longer. Search , was made for the unfortunate bridegroom, and j he was found lying dead beside a heap of rub- ( bisb ; the worn fingers of his right hand clasp- t ed tightly round a bunch of withered stalks and ( discolored ribbons. His weary search was ( over, he had found his bride at last. ? Dublin ' University Magazine. . The Iron Duke. j A correspondent of the New York Herald, J thus describes the appearance of the Duke of Wellington at the Peabody Festival, on the 4thof July:?"As the old Duke entered the 1 room, walking slowly, and bent with age a 5 rush was made on all sides towards him. The j 1 1 . ....... InnuiniT ft olnnr I company, nowever, gave ,b .. ? passage, and lie came along; in the crowd, on nig way, several who knew him, stepped out and shook hands with him; among whom I ' noticed the Countess Pauiette,with other noble ladies in her company; he cordially shook hands as he passed, and they smiling a.id laugh- 1 ing, stood back again in the line of beauty, ( fashion, republicanism and nobility, along which he was making his way. He was dressed in plain clothes, in ball costume?knee breeches and silk stockings, and around his left leg the insignia of the order of the garter, shining with diamonds. He looked well, baiting the evident debility of an old age, which, to the spectators, and especially those who, line myself, saw him for the first time, made the predominant feeling at sight of him to be a sort of compassion. His physiognomy was noble and striking, very like the common picture of him, with the remarkably i prominent nose, ypt an air of gentleness, quiet, J kindness, and placidity was printed upon his countenance, producing an impression of his character very foreign to the thoughts which one had been prepared to entertain of him. The Duke of Wellington is an Irishman by birth, and his real family name is Wesley, or Wellesloy. It is a family which has been dis- i I tinguished by more than one remarkable man i belonging to it. His brother, the marquis of Wellesley, (the same who married Miss Caton > of Baltimore,) was a man of talent as much distinguished a* a statesman as his brother, the Duke, has been a soldier, it is a singular circumstance not so generally known, that the Duke is a near relation of the famous John , Wesley, the founder of the religious sect of the Methodists. It is the same family. The debt of the State of Pennsylvania is up. offtwtv millions of dolhr?. I tfi, Fatal Conskqobncf qf Follv.?Aoocmrrence, which happened at a young ladies' leminary in New York, is mentioned in the limes of that city, which presents another proof )f the folly of indulging in the thoughtless >ractice of attempting to frighten others. Two of the young ladies in the institution were sngaged in their own room, conversing on -the sience of anatomy, in the course of which one )f them proceeded to relate srme experience she had formerly acquired in a desecting-room rust as the convets-'*1'* ached this point, the loor of the room and another of the innates of the st. y entered with slow and solemn tread, having a white sheet wrapped ajout her form, and her face powdered to pereet whiteness. her jet-black hair, eyes and irows presenting a contrast which gave a start- J ing livedness to her ghost-like countenance. The lad}' who was relating her experience, as ilready stated, is said to lie mentally superior o any of her classmates, and noted for her strength of mind and freedom from nervousless and absurd sensibility. So sudden, how*ver, was the approach of the figure, just at t moment when her mind was least prepared or any thing associated w!th thoughts of the lead, that upon beholding the apparition she el I senseless to the floor, and awoke to tin icenes around her anxious attendants that rea- j on had fled and left sad tokens of the mental J vreck.

We respect the conservative influences of eligion as much as any person can do; but inndor compels us to express our conviction hat, if ever this country shall b? torn asunder >y faction, or severed by disunion, it will owe hese blessings to the philanthropic exertions >f the clergy of the various churches north, ['hese good people are by no means content vith attending to the affairs of another world; hey must need be politicians and intermeddle j vith the things of this. With the exception of he Catholics, and to a great extent the Epis- J opalians, the pulpits of the north are so many ! bolition rostrums, where even the pretended I ddresses to the throne of grace are studied inectives against slavery.

The largest accumulation of specie in the J vorld is said to exist at present in the Bank of j 'ranee, amounting to 007,000,000 francs, or I 5115,000,000. This is nearly twice the amount j hat the Bank of England has ever accumulated, j t indicates either that trade is stagnant in 'ranee, or that the usual accommodations are j MfM.nl.I hu it ;n discounts. If the latter, it is I "J ycophanlic of |)olitic.*il troubles. The policy j 11 this respect is different with the two large j nonied institutions on the opposite sides of the j British Channel. The Bank of Kngla id could j lot, if it would materially limit its business on 1 he apprehended contingency of war or internal ! listurbancc. It could not withhold the custom- j iry accommodation to its mooted and mercan- I ile classes, without deranging the whole bus- ! ness ofthc United Kingdom. It is compelled lot only to act as regards accommodation, but I 0 sutler action as regards its stock of specie, j limply because it is the great medium and reg- j ilator of monetary transactions in an exteii- j lively commercial country. The Bank of France j 3 not so thoroughly indentified with French j mmmerce as the Bank of England is with En- 1 jlish commerce, nor is it so largely made a daco of permanent deposite for spare funds as he English institution. Many private monied rstabiislunents in Paris, and the chief cummer rial cities of France have large accumulations j )f specie. The private 6tores are immense. Phc Bank of France follows the general policy md the national habit. In view of the possible' jceurrence of foreign war or civil convulsion, be French institution would feel itself hound to lave twice or thrice the quantit y of coin or buI-N ion that world he found advisable b) the English establishment. This accounts forthelarge unount which has found its way into the Bank )f French. Charleston Evening News. Kossuth is the son of a lawyer, and small land owner in Zemplin, and was born in 1806. He is, therefore, now in his 45th year. He was married in 1841. Previous to the Hungarian revolt he was distinguished for his eloquent advocacy of liberal principles, in the Hungarian Diet but it was in the character felt. Kossuth is said to have commenced his career as a reporter for the Hungarian Diet, and afterwards became an editor. Our Governmental Departments have received official information from San Francisco j that letters frequently reach there with the envelopes partly torn off", and the address mutilated, in consequence of the praetico of using sealing-wax to secure the envelopes. In passing through the tropics the wax is invariably melted so as to destroy all semblancj of a seal, and not unfrequently so as to adhere to the letImnnntlt !f -i,,H i-hiiso the iniurv or destruc* tion of the address in separating the two.

The Districts of Andor- r son and Pickens were not complete, and we 1 gave returns only in part. We now give the 1 vote as follows, uniting those two Districts, to 1 wit: For Co-operation 2,719; for Secession ? 588, leaving a majority in favor of Co-operation of only (as Mr. Pressley would say) 2,131. In Wllinmsburg District, which was left blank, . we learn the Secessionists have a majority of ( 12. The Co-opcrationists carried Six out ot j the Seven Congressional Districts easy, and i Messrs.

I Ic has been recently ( married in Wilmington, and we wish him all the < happiness which a reasonable man could desire, j OCT" We had an idea once, and arc still incli- , j ' ned to the opinion that Southern independence,' j in the lorm ?>f Non-Intercourse?building up j our Southern Literature?establishing South- j crn Enterprise upon a permanent footing, and j abstaining in every particular, from dealing: with the treacherous enemies of our institutions I at the North, was our best and safest course. I " I Wc still believe this to be the best; yet, we j must confess, we see little or no hope of its | . ever coming to pass. 1 tie idea is obsolete and 11 without (from present indications,) the slightest, i hope of any practical good resulting from the ? proposition. We ai : at' to blame, and no one ' can say to the other, Thou art the man ! without implicating himself the same error. Of course there are a few iso.nted instances in which some are willing to pay a fraction higher for Southern goods, than those made at the ' North, but in few eases are men willing to I sacrifice tho almighty dollar, for the sake of ( advancing the interest of their section. It is , a humiliating but stubborn fact, that people i buy where they can get the cheapest, without 1 any regard to the place where the goods are | made. We may be induced to do so, because ( others do, and vice versa. Where there is one i man at the South who acts consistently on the I Noti intercourse plan, there are, ten thousand we had almost said, who act from other motives. The experience of all our friends and neighbors, will abundantly sustain this proposi- j tion. I r The Greenville Patriot i And all other union and submission organs, re- | joice greatly at the Waterloo defeat of the Seces- 1 tion party; they would continue to crow for the ^ \pext hundred years if they could, at the result which has come to pass. There is some conso- | lation, meagre it is true in the fact, that although | they may call it submission, and consequently on a par with themselves, it is not absolutely the i case because they say so. It appears from official ; accounts, that secession is about over : and if the I action part of the Co-operation party conclude to " lot matters rest here, we may as well sing the doxology of Secession forever, and Southern Rights for all time to come. We believe honestly, that I there are among the co-operation party, good re- 1 i sistance men, who have no idea of ultimate and I .unconditional submission. Vet it is unf rtunate- | ly but notoriously the case, that there are so many | different phases and shades of opinion in the cooperation party, that all action by ihem appears , to be but a faint hope. any have covered them- i j selves with the name ofco-operatiouists, who have I no idea, who never had the slightest idea of reJ aisting at any time. Wo beg our resistance 1 I friends of the Co-operation party, those who aie ; at heart action men, to do something at least to ' show us the way.

Yet, ( vhen it becomes the channel through which it is I ixpected worldly praise islo be conveyed, it is no I onger charity, it is unworthy.

We yesterday made a few remarks on a plan that is now in progress for rendering our Planters indej>endent of New York and Liverpool, by exporting themselves their produce to those parts, which are now supplied with it through the medium of houses in those cities. To-day we have the gratification of noticing a circumstance, which may well be regarded as an era in the commercial history of Charleston?that is, the arrival of the British ship Grnsmere, Copt. Vuile, from Calcutta, with 800 bales of Gunny Bogging for the house of Messrs. Johu Fraser & Co.? This is the first direct communication with the Fast and this city, that has taken place within .ai.nl I a. tinn nf nui- nlrloef and with a tonnage, which is rapidly increasing, and which would do credit to any port, we venture to say that the day is not far distant when our commerce with the Cast will be in no measure inferior to even that of Boston.

Cheerfulness.?"But Cheerfulness and a festival spirit fills the soul full of harmony? it composes music for churches and hearts?it produces thankfulness, and serves the end of charity; and when the oil of gladness runs over, it makes brigl.t and tall emissions of light and holy fires, reaching up to the cloud and making joy round about, and therefore, since it is so innocent and may be so pious and full of holy advantage, whatever can innocently minister to this holy joy does set forward the work of religion and charity And indeed, charity itself which is the vertical top of all religion, is nothing eise out a union 01 joys concentrated in tne heart, and reflected from all the angels of our lilo and intercourse. It is a rejoicing in God, and gladness in our neighbor's good, a pleassure in doing good, a rejoicing with him; and without love, we cannot have any joy at all. It is this that makes children to be a pleasure, and friendship to be so noble and divine a thing; and upon this acconnt it is certain that all that which innocently make a man cheerful, does also make him chnritablo for grief,.and age, and sickness, and weariness, these arc peevish and troublesome, but mirth and cheerfulness is ???????WW sontont and civil, and con.\ptajaflpt.and comma* licative and loves to do good, and]swells up to felicity only upon the wings of charity."
