"In passinig along the National Road, near the foot of Laurel Flill, and about 10 miles east from Union, the travellen \wili observe a sign (a plahishingle) place on a tree, upon which is painted ' Braddock's Grave,' with an index pointing to a clump of trees about 200 yards from the road. This is the only monutment that indicates the resting place of the proud and brave, but unfortunate hero of the old French War."-Applcton's R. R. and Steamboat Con pany, for 1848. The morning sun serenely shone, The morning airwas puo eand still; All Nature wore a cheerful tone, Around the foot of Laurel Hill. Our stage-coach whirled along the way ; One passing glance was all we gave, Where a small hoard was nailed, to say, "Yonder is Braddock's bloody grave." Far from the land he called his own, Nor friends nor children o'er him weep; A group of forests trees alone, Stand sentinels around his sleep. Yet hallowed be his burial spot; For he was generous proud and brave; And worthy of a happies lot, Than here to fill a nameless grave. Why lies he then unhonored here? ' Not in-dishonor did he fall;. ___ AO I future fair~ renown wvas dear If by his native land forgot, Becanse in western wilds he fell, lid amhushed foes and secret shot, And frantic rout and savago yell: My country ! vhy should'st thou forget The gallant chief that cross'd the sea, Thy ruthless foes in battle met And poured his life-blood out for thee? Look not upon his fln!ts alone. On hasty words he spoke amiss; The glorious limo of Washington Needs not an odious foil like this! On thoughts more just and generous bent, In tardy gratitude arise, And rear some liting monument. To mark the spot where Braddock lies. Let the great West, at least, be just; Let Pittsburg vindicate his fame ; Nor longer leave with common dust Her first defender's generous name?

[BY REQUEST.] We said in our last the proceedincs of the Legislature, with reference to the Bank, were incomplete. The Bank of the State is not like other Banks. No charter hinds the State to tmdividnals, and precludes it from putting the Bank in liquidation as soon as it pleases. It has, indeed, what is called a charter, but it is a mero form. It is altered, more or less, at every session of the [Legislature, and may be annul!cd as readily as any act may be repealed. This charter. as the law now stands, will run until May, 1856. But if it is, as the Leg. islaturo has solemnly nsserted it to be, "unwise and inex, edient"-if it is "found. ed in erroncous policy," and 'exposes to, haznd" the "public treasury and public faith," it is evident that it becomes the duty of that body towaids o people of the State, as directors of their "policy," and guardians of their "failt.," and ''trea sury," to annul the charte.'of this "unwise and inexpedient" institution. It is not enough that a resolution was passed, do claring that the Bank should not he re chartered. This resolution does not bind any subsequent Legislature'.. Seven ses sions will intervene between the last and the expiration of the charter. At any one of these sessions-within three days of the adjournment of the session of 1855 the Bank charter may be renewed, not withstanding this resolution; and for all this time the people-those who support sound principles of governmental policy and just and equal laws and rights-m-ust carry on an incessant struggle with this vast moneyed power in their midst, Con stant dripping will wear a stono. Who could stand up far seven years, with all his energies devoted to this single warfare, hot and hitter as it certainly would be? The most ardent and persevering of the pee-. pie's friends may be expected at some time. to flag, and if there is an hour 'of indiffe rence all would be jeoparadized. There stands the Bank, whose business it will be carry on the war with increasing energy and zeal. Its friends-those that stand by it both from interest and principle-consti tute a large and able body, cordially united. and acting with one will, coucentrated on a single purpose. But again: Money in the hands of any set of men is power, and tho infttenee of that power is co-extensiva with tbe amout.t Batik, every sixty days, are equal to $2, 280,000, which is annually $13,GSO,000. and in seven years would amount to $95, 760,000. But this sum, vast as it is. con stitutes probably not more than half the money power of the Bank; for whoever will look to its monthly exhibits will see that its "resources" sum up over $5,000, 0u0-more than do'ublo its disconnts. Against this combined force, wielding this enormous mass of money, the opponents of the Bank, as things now stand, not withstanding the glorious success of last session, will be forced to wage a sleepless contest for seven long years, with the cer tainty of being defeated the very instant they relax their vigilance nnd etTart. Where can the peoplo epcect to find friends-unpaid volunteer soldiers-for such a war ? The re3ult is inovitable. If this is to be the order of things, the Bank will hevond doubt, be rechartered long before 1856. Now, considering the absolute supre macy the Bank has exercised over the Stae for nearly forty years, and how easily and compelctely it has hitherto crushed most of the efforts to get rid ofits rule, we think it was a wonderful and very encourag icg exhibition of the recuperative power of Truth, and of the virtue of the pe<ple, to see such overwhelming majorities agair~st it sent to botht houses of the Legisla tore, at thte joint election after the iirst seri ous attempt at potpular discussion ott.the stubject. We are of opinion, however and, viewing all the groutnd, we are amply sttstainied~ in tile optinion-thtat no soubstan tial restults wetre reachled. Now that the heat and smoko of the battle have passed away, we see this so clearly, tha ft we think that perhtaps it might have been better for the opponetnts of recharter to have been beaten at all pointts, and gone with a new issue to the people. thfan that from a sent ing victory they should ho Itulled into so curity, and the friends of the Bank stinmu lated and tnt crippled. TIhe idea thtat they have left the Bank in a state of lea guer with their three resolutionis, is as de lusive as it would be to suppose that the Thtames cotuld ho blockaded by three steamtbttats, or that Vera Cruz could be invested by three companies of~ light itt fantry. These resolutions, however', de serve high credit, and their- supporters the thanks of the people; for they have showun thtat they have the ptower, atnd abnost the will. to do theo thing efe~tually., But, what is of thte higest imtportance, it is ntot too late to do it yet. We trust the memnbers oif the Legislature will come tup to thes next session fully prepared to execute the wvill of their conistitutency, without incurrintg thte tunnecessary excilemen t of another appeal to the people at the polls, or the far worse ailterntativo of a seven years' war on the platform already eceted. Let this hossiness be settled at once, liat the State tmay pass on to the greait issues which atre now agitating the lentgthi andW bread h tof th: fand, andl take her place, with o nembahrrassed financtes andI a nited peopile, wvherever the South mtay assigtn; oir, ini defult 'f that. where her sens~e of duty miay Jictate.

FREE NEGROES. A Mississippi paper thinks - that tilto Southern States will eventoually find it their policy to expel the whole free negro population Iom within their limits. l'here are in the slave States 250,00l) free ne groes. These, upon a moderate chlculat tion, corrupt and render worse than use less;#50,00t) slaves. Thus we have at least a million of our colored population that reqnire constant vigilance, and that do ilmost as much harm as the rest of it do good. If torso 250,000 free negroes were expelled 'rom the South, and irced upon the free States, our Mississippi co temporary is of opinion that the abolition' ists would soon cry ont enough, and be willing to do justice to the South, and al low her to have as much slave territory as she wants. At any rate, we should get rid of our worst and most dangerous population, the slaves would be much more submissive and nanageablo, asd one great good at least clfected. Ia 1340, there was in Alabama a little over 2,000 free persons of color. Ve can not say whether this number has increased or diminished since then. The tax on these, as levied by the last Legislature is, on all males over 10 years of age. and un der 90, two dollars; on all females ovr 10 and 45, one dollar. Now if these amounts were doubled by the next Legislature, a system of prospective freeing the State from them might he commenced, which mightbe continued hereafter as the Legis lature in its wisdom saw proper. At all events, they would be made to defray a part of the State expenses. adequate, in some sort, to the trouble of them.-Ala bama Reporter.

PERSONAL TRAITS OF CALHOUN. Less is probably known to the public of the personale of the great exponent of South tarolina opinion, thau of any other of our eminent statesmen. A number of facts in reference to his ,personal habits, etc., have recently been disclosed, which will prove of interests to our renders. The family of the Sonator consists of lMrs. Calhoun and seven children. Of these, one son is a planter in Alahania, the next a Captain in Ihe army at New Otleans; the eldest daughter is in Europe, wife of our charge at Belgium. Of the three sons at home, one is a physician, the others are young men of twenty nod eighteen. Mr. Calhoun has upon his table everything of southern production, but is himself a spare eater. The view lirom his house commands distant mountain rat;es, forty anti sixty miles away. Ilis study is twenty feet south of his mansion, has but one room and one dour. ills library is not large, but choice and most of the books relate to the Union and her interest. The key of this btuilling he alvays keeps under his immediate control when at home. No one en'ers it but himself, unless, he is there. [is house stands on the Seneca river one thousand feet abovo the level of the sea. and taco hundred feet above the river. There are perhaps, seventy or eighty negroes on and about the place. The largest part of his negroes are in Alabama, where he owns a large cotton plantation, under the management of his eldest son. Mr. Cal. hoon has a peculiar manner of ditching. draining, and planting, of such utility that his neighbors regard his as a model farm. His crops are represented as far befire those of any other cultivator in that region of country. His farm is known as Fort Hill, from a fort which once stood there in the time of the revolutionary var. Mr. Calhoun's habits ate very regular. He rises at four or five o'clock, exercises on horseback, or in a long walk over the farm for an hour; writes until breakfast at eight, and after breakfast, is busy in his library until one or two. On Friday, which is mail day, ho rides to .the village. His newspapers, of which large numbers are sent to him, are spread in the hall for the use of his visitors. lie is very hospitable, is a great lion even in the very ,peighhor hood of his own house, and in all 'the rela. tions of. private life, is a most estimable, upright, and honorable man. r U.LY Eerroius.-Harne ofIthe Louisa . 107CriiVC... ei1; a~n ren ICee ?fis ail ville Journal, have been .discussing the I relative personal beauty of each other late.

The thief, as he squatted down by the fire; drew Lhenh sofily to him, and put them, all dn; and then, after filling a pipe and lighting it went deliberately to the tent door; and tapping a groom, who was sleepihi near, with the pipe and, made a sign to - him for the horse, ivhich stodd jiq''ueta ted in front.

On the morrow, whei . the clothes of the bey could nowhere bd found, none could formi a conjecture a to what hiad become of them; uitil th .* - groom, on being questioned, maintained to his fellow-servants, that their niastel: was not yet returtied from his iids; and told them how lo had suddentlyr called -" for his his horse in the.. night;.
