We beg to aplpropriate n the oceasiou the language of our cotemporary of the South Cur-lialun, who Zsys: "The telegraph announaces the malancholy intelli genee,. of the dunth of the Hon. Joa.iah J. Eivan, United Stater Sonator fron South Carolinn. Thus another of our faithful servants has been struck down from his high position. No iman's public carear has been more enviable than Isis. Front early life he has been identifled with the history oif South Carolina; her brightert anid most responsible utlices have been confided to him-yet, during that lung career of use fulness, not tho slightest reproach has ever been east upon his character. is unsullied purity proved a cuirass of defonee so strong that envy nor malice ever dared attack. He was a perlect relaresentative of the Republican man. Uunassuming and modest in his re lations to his fellow-:nen, he was exalted. stern u:d indexilble in the dse-harge of his luties. His was one of those high naturos that w:,a tle terror of tho mean and sel!sh. This gave the more indication of his opinion all the effect of at powerful argumaent. Ar. opinion from him, every one felt satisfied was the re sult of an honest purp-ee and a mature deliberation. Judge Evans graduated at the South Carolina College, in the year ISO. In 1812, le was elected Cou:n:.sioner in Equity for Cheraw District. Ile was a ne..'..-r of the Legis lature in 1$16, and in the year f-allu. -.' was elected State Solicitor for the Eastern Circui.. These posi tions he.filled with suc distinction, that in December, 1830, our State Legislature confided to himn tha sacred trust of a seat upoaa tle juelicial beach. In the dis charge of this arduous trut, he continued unatil tiae winter of 185, when le was elected to the Uited States Senate. There he remained, ever at his post, until removed by death, in the seventy-secocd year of his ago. is services there have been modest but efficient. He was not one who spoke for popularity, but labored unassumingly but steadily from a consci entions conviction. An other of South Carolina's dis tinguished son4 has passed away. One by One, in too rapid succession, they are passing away. Before the solemn funeral tramp to the obsequies of one has died away, we are summoned to the death-march of another.

DEATh OF JABEZ B. TALBERT. It is our sad duty to chronicle this week (he death of one of the best and truest sons of Edgefield. JA ass B. TALBERT departed this life at his residence in this District on Sunday last, the 0th of May, in the 42nd year of his age. It is with melancholy satis faction that we lay upon his grave a brief but heart felt tribute to his worth and usefulness. Mr. TALBERT was one of the noblest of men in all the varied relations of life. It is only for those attached friends and relatives who knew him inti snately, to estimate arighat his value as a neighbor, father, son, husband, brother and friend. In each of those connections, he was regarded an exeamplary model, and was beloved, as few men are, In his con scientious discharge of the tonder ob'igations which thus clusteriad around his existenee. In. the duties of the citizen, he was known to all as a man of unbenud ing integrity, sterling ability, and hightoned patriot ism. He loved his Country, his God, and Truth, and shaped all hais purposes and actions by their require ments. Never having aspairead to any political pre ferment, he was never in public life. Yet paerapas no man ever lived in the Distriet, who in hsis sphere did s-~ - Vsaore:.to elevatotlh moralmand'political -tenileneiea.of *the people with whom his lot was-cast ; and this, by * the constant inluence of a really brilliaa home ex ample.

The Edlgefield Squadron of Cavalry were out at this place on Saturday last in respectable numbers, Ccl. Baas in command. The performances of thme day went smoothly off. The Lower Battalion of the ith Regimneant, S. C. 31., paraded at Cherokee P-and., on Saturday also. Among t'.e rest, was a newly uniformed company from Giraniteville under Capt. Ganzea, which made a very decent show. It is hoped that mere military fer vor will hereafter pervade this long-remiss battalion. * ~ THE THESPIANS. It will be seen that the TauxarrAXs of this village give another entertainment on Friday evening next. May we not bespoak for thema a crowded house ? Eve ry one seems to havo been delighted with their last performaneo. It was regarded . by many a mnarkead -. improvemeant upon their first bill, of which we have no doubt, althougliunluckily absent and therefore un able to judge. Their next showing therefore, way be looked for as something better stilL. The watch word of the corps is " prlogress."

Picn~ae, of Tuesday, says that the Mis sissippi on Monday reached the highest water-mark ef the season, and in many places overran the levee, Seeding some of the streets on the water-front of the a ity. No danger was apprehended that leveus would give way.. A'dispatch from New Orleans, on the 6th inst., says, that the crevasse op~osite to the city was unabated, and other erovasses up the river were causing immense damage to crops and property. The river shows no sign of a fall. And en the 8th another despatch says, the crevasses are uncontrolled. mIITORY OPSOUH CAROLINA. What has beeome of Mr. W. J.

'We perceive that other papers have acknowledged a copy. COLL1EGE EXIITION. On Thursday evening last we had the pleasure of bearing several young gentlemen of the Senior Class speak at their Spring Exhibition in Columbia. The 'exercises were epened by Mr. I.

Defure the hour of ten iu the morning, 1ehordsoan Street (the Broadway of Culumabia) was rapidly thronging with citizens and xtrangers, eager to participate in the grateful dutis of the occaasion. These conlsisted in uniting iuith the nsublu reunan tof the 'huettao Regi ment in commueamorating te recurrenea of their As sociatio'.s anulversary, and iu reudering respect and hon.age tq that reteran "tionaeral of the, Palmetta.," JouX A. QUITMAA ; And admirably indeed were these duties dischargel, whether as to the manner (or Lhe spirit of their perf'ormanve. The procession, which is said to have been the lar gest ever witnossed in Columbia, was formed (as of yore) in front of the time-worn Court House, and at once marched thence to the re.idence of Col. ALLa Gnas where General QtUAl \ was for the present under hospitable detention. The welcome to the brave old hero was pronounced by Lieutenant STAN .uY of Company- , Palmetto Regiment. His ad drees, sines published, was a decidedly gom thing. and a gratoful. Indeed the handsome anda' manly Lieutenant discharged his eutito share of the day's transactions in a mannor that won the applause of both 14die: and gentlemon. Leaving Col. Gnzaru's, the procession pased on in lengthened array, and pursued its course to the College Chapel through the strest next parillel to Richardeon. What with the Military Compa:e -, the Arsenal Cadets, the Fir. Com panies, the Sucrot Orders, the Citizens generally, the renmesnat of tie Palmuetto lerginen-t, and the inumedi ate cortege of Gesneral QVITVAN, the line WaS one of very considerablo nuaubers an4 .4 marked respecta. !ii:y. Bat the- formed only a fraetion of the mnul tilt.lo assem'bled in the city. The Chapel was al ready nerty filled, whon the h,id or the processiou halted itt the loor. The wonder was Low so many musre could be necomm:odatld; and in point of fact they were nut,-for several hundred, after all possI ble squeezing and contraction of limbs, were left out side. The -catlcd pers,n, lalius and gentlemon, anett have ox, ce led two thousaud,-sume placed the cstimate nuch higher. Of course it was a bril liant eight,-when was there ever an assembly of that size, comaposed in great. part of the fairer sex, which was not? Dut this one seemed peculiarly so, at least from oLr 4sand-point,-and many bright faces, with pretty lipis, glowing chocks and laughing eyes, -till come un.1; o, appear and dissppear, I0 the gath oring at the Chapel recurs to view. It was sauch a pleasure too to see them-thoro,-not merely becanso it is good to look at tho dear creaturce anywhere and verywhere; but boeause i& was, this tima, beauty 'miling upon chivalry, love admiring heroism. And .suroly the bravo QUIuAN, and the gallant PAlmetto urvivors, felt and prized the complimost. A pictnre long to bo remo:nbored wai there photo graphed, not only upon the soft boart of woman, but upon many also of steruer naterial. On the rostrum Lt the upper end of the Chapel, sat the veteran Hero of the Garita do Belon, the contre of a group of sev enty-seve n heroes. Bowed from his wonted strength by tihe effects of a terrible malady, he might be re prded almo-t a wreok of his former self. Yet there was still enough of fire in his large blue eyes, and still enough of strength n his sinewy frame, to oia .Je the beholder readily to realize what he was -amidst the din of battle, with all his armor on and his bright sword refiecting back the " flashing of the guns." On his right, en his left, and in his rear, were seated those members of the Soutth C~golirea Reg iment, to whom the privilege had been vonchyared of once more meeting their beloved commander, comrade and friend. Silent and serious wore they all, the ero-Ijader and the remnant of his hero-band. What were their relleetious, it is not for an observer to por tray. For who can conceive the remembrances that must swell the tree soldier's breast, when brought thus to review the past of an ardeous campaign like that which fell to the lot of thicec brave men!i Who can imagine the thousand incidents, of the march, of the bivouac, of the camp and of the battle-field, which oeh soldior cherishes In his heart of hearts, and whielh ho ses aulnw iimself -as"no onei else can see and know them! Dot when those remini seences are linked with the memory of dead com rades, severed friendships, blighted aspiratious, when every stirring scene that is recalled brings te mind somne friend now sleeping in death, and whose life-blood was the seal of his heroic fidelity,-when of eleven hundred strong meun who went forth togetheri to bear their part in the cause of their common coon try, he sees scarcely two hundred left, after the lapse of a few uwift years, to join hands and htearts in an nual commemoration of their perilous experience, it then indeed becomers an impossibility to estimate aright thme powerful emotions which spring unbidden in that soldier's heart. No one could hare looked upon the seventy-seven survivors who hero clustered around their General, without feeling that he was in the presene of a stricken band, rion sulltary andi sad amidst a multitude-rapt in the depth and ferror of their varied recollections,-nmindful of the pa. geant around them exe-ept in so Ar as their grateful hearts acknowledged the tribute in behalf of their dead companions. But to the narrative of the day's exercisel, Amid the apiplause of the waiting auditory, Gener al Qrmxaa at unce~addrossed himself to the duty he imd consented to perform. As his speeck will eer tainly be published, we may only say here that ever~ one was pleased with its style matter, and temper. It will be found to be a valuable lamephlet in connec tion with the history of the Me.xican war, and par tiularly so in respect to that brilliant episode of the war which reeunts the fortunes and the porils, the "noble deeds and daring high," of our own BrTSu and his devoted Palmnettoes. Although it contained no set phrases of compliment, no express declaration of the Regiment's superiority to oters with whom they were associated, it was yet such an onunciation of facts favorable to their fame, as will in history en euro to them the rank of the " bravest of the bravwe.' Te address may be looked for with interest. It will of course be esteemed a testinmonial of undoubted authority auong military men', and will certainly prove an offering of high acceptation with the peo plo of South Carolina. Before andi after the speerh, a choIr of ladies and gentlemen gave from a we.ll chosen part of the gal lry, suitable odes, written for the occasion,-the first by Win. ti:Luoaa Smaus, the second by Howann HI. CALtIWELL.. This part oaf the exercises was quite elective, particularly with the Palmettoos. Many oi them afterwards said that their feelings were enkin ded into a glow of melancholy satisfaction while listening to the dulcet strains of approbation into which woman's voice so largely entered. It was observable that tears fied the eyes of many of thenm as in deepest silence they looked up towards the choir in front of them, and drank in as it were the meldy of their patriotic music. This was a well cnsidered and cleverly arranged part of the denton tratioi. The wdo by HowAnn HI. CALDWEI.L ran thus: Sing in loud, triumnphal numbers, Sing a grateful nation's lay ! Dead must be the heart that slumbers Throbless, on this solemn day. Sing the men, whose stout hearts heating Reeked not of the deathful strife; Hearing Honor's voice repeating " Is not Duty more than life ?" Twine the cypress, twine the laurel, 'Round brave Butler's honored name; While to coming times, the moral lBe has taught us, gilds his fame ; Nobly for his country dying Shouts of victory thrilled his ears; * While that soul to Heaven is lying Who may count its rapturous prayers ? Think we of the brave who perished Far beneath that tropie sky;f In our heart of hearts be cherished Memories, all too diep to die. 'Tis not all a dark afflition, This stern thought of these who died; But the nation's benediction And that weeping nation's pride I By this pride the surest token, Know your amaranthine fame, More than may by words be spoken, Still thro' ceaseless years the same : Wreatheai in maany a bardie story, Sung to many a mountain lyre, LIve forever live your glory, In one blaze of hallowed Are ! Quite anm interesting part gf the - ceremonies of the l- a ne..su.cede. I ee. the presentation of . 0 / silver tureen and an oil painting bequeathed by AN DREW JACKSoN to the bravest son of South Carolina. Our judicious and tasteful Governor hail succeeded, by correspondence with the Executors of Old Hickory, in having it agreed, that those bequests should be veited in the President of the South Carolina Pal motto Aesociation, as the ofiicer of that body, to be hold by him and his successors in oiffice, and finally to become the property of the last surviving member of the Pa'.metto Itegitent, " to hiia and his hoirs forever." The arrangement is an admirable one, it would seem; and the Governor is thus saved the delicate task of deciding.who is the bravest, " where all," as he obsorvud, " were so truly brave." What shall be that last living name on the Palmetto Roll, may be conjectured variously with every changing year; but Fate's decrees are anticipated in vain. Yet it may be that a much shorter time than fifty years will decide the fee in remainder. The circum stance is well calculated to remind us all how true it is, that The boast of heraldry. the prop of power And all that beauty, all that wealth e'or gave Awirt alike the inevitable hour, The paths of/glory lead but to the grare. His Excellency, Governor ALLSTON, was partieu larly felicitous in presenting these gifts, accompany iog the duty as he did with some well-timed and well-conceived romArks, which were greeted with plaudits of delight by the large audience. Lieuton ant STANLY received the boquosts with manly grace, and, in a brief soldierly response, acknowledged his own and the regiment's gratitude. Th e whole affair was handsomo,-eminently befitting tho occasion and its other more prominent purposes. Let us now hasten to poop ini at the Ball, after taking a good old-fashioned dinner at IuicT's,-after talking with the genial Mc-s, the eminently ver Ssatile 0-s, and others, over the proceedings of the moruieg,-after procuring a ticket in due fornm, und after walking a half-naile to bog roses and pome wranite-flowere for the ladies. All the world was at Kindler's spncious hall by 10, o'clock in the evening. The Bull was then fairly opened. Fashion and floun eus, beauty and bouquets, hilarity and hoops, music and the military, dancing and delights-tuo-numuerous to-mention, pervaded the rooms throughout the en tire happy evening. The supper, which closed the festive hours, was ample and variod. The old here QerTMx bravely stood out to the lust, occupied al most as actively as ever General was upon the battle field,-now, surrounded by beautiful ladies with hearts brim full of respectful regard,-then, accopetng the cordial salutations of the old men and the young, here, reciprocating the converse of politicians,-there, hearksening gallantly to the gentlo phrases of woman. Present also worp the lunoraobl9s L. M. NIECTT and M. L. Doxuit, Thero too was his Excollunoy, the Governor;- And the Generals; And Judges; And Solicitors; And Lawyers; and Editors; and Mor chants ; and Gentlemen of elegant leisure; and last, but still the foremost whether in love or in war, the surviving oaicers and men of the renowned Palmetto Regiment. It is only to be addod, that no single circumstance occurred to detract from the pleasures of this jubilee, either during the stirring day or the joyful night which succeeded it. We conclude with the heart-felt hope that the Anniversary may grow in interest for a hundred years to come, and that the people of the State may flock to its celebration in increasing numbers'every year. It will be better than building a monument,-better for the Palmuet toe', bettor for us anal our children, better for the famo and character of South Carolina. 35.MIJED P4SSAGES, Fielding's celebrated story of Tomn Jhnce, besides being one of the most natural and engaging narratives extant, abounds in wisdom and In wit. Amid a num her of marked passages, we pone at random upon the following : 1. Of his use of the word " mob,"[the author says: "Whenever this word occurs in our writings, it in tends persons without virtue or sense, In all stations; and many of the highest rank are often meant by it." 2. In telling of the good Mr. Allworthy's hospital ities, it is sai4 tlig "gypry visitor in his house was .perfeet'mastarpof his own haousp.sad as he might at pleasure satisfy all his appetites within the restrlotioni only of lawr, v'irtuo and religion; so ho might if his health required or his inclination prompted him to tomperanoc, or even to abstinence, ab...nt himself fram any meals, or retire from them when so disposed, without even a solicitation to the contrary. For in deed such solicitations always savour very strongly of commands; but all here were free from such im pertinence." Good food for reflection thaat, and whose cud all hosts would do well to eow a while before their next entertainment, whether it be for a successioa of days or for a single evening. 3. The next excerpt thus speaks for itself: " One of the maximns which the Devil, in a late visit upon earth, left to his disciples, Is, when once you are got up, to kick the stool from under you. In plain English, when yoa have made your fortune by the good offices of a friend, you are advised to discord him as soon as you can." A DavaL/s MAxIx, vESILYv! 4. Of prudence in preserving appearances here is a short but forcible lecture: " Prudence and circumspection are necessary even to the best of mn-n They are indeed, as it were, a guard to virtue, without which she can never be safe. It is not enough that your designs, nay that your actions, are intrinsically good; you must take care they shall appear so. If your inside be never so beau tiful, you must preserve a fair outside also. This must baa constantly looked to, or malice and envy will take cure to blacken it so, that the sagacity and good ness of an Allworthay wIll tnt ho able to see through it, and diacern the beauties withIn. Let this, mny young readers, be your constant maxim, that no man can he good enough to enable him to neglect the rules of prudence; nor will virtue herself boak hesautiful, unless she he bedecked with the outward ornaments of dedency end decorum. And this precepat, :ny wor thy disciples, if you read with due attention, you will, I hope, find sufficiently enforced by examlalos ho the following pamges. 5. The author illustrates the effect of Garrick's act ing by en anecdote. Tou Joxns and his man PAnf. niaas are at the play-house, where the following occurs: *"As soon as the play, whieh was Hamlet Prince of Deoumark, began, Partridge was all attention, nor did he break sibouce till the entrance of the ghost ; upon which he asked Jones, What :man that was in the strange dress ? "Somnething," said he, "like what I havo seen in a picture. Sure it is not armnur, is it ?" Jones answered, " That is the ghost." To which Part ridge replied with a smile, " Persuade me to that, sir, if you can. Though I can't say I ever actually saw a ghost in :ny life, yet I aita certain I should know one, if I saw hinm, laetter than thtateemes to. No, no, sir. ghosts dhoo't applejar in such dresses as that, neith er." In this mistako, which caused mnuch laughter in the neighburhood of Partridge, he was suffered to continue, till the scene betweoon the ghost and Hamlet, when P'artridge gave that eredit to Mr. Garrick which he hadl denied to Jones, and fell into so violent a trembling, that his knees knocked against each other. Jones asked himo what was the matter, and whethaer he was afraid of the warrior upon the stage ? "0 Ia ! sir," said ho, "I perceive now it is what you told mne. I am not afraid of any thing; for I know it is but a play. And if it was really a ghaost, it could do one no harm at such a distance, and in so mnuch com-. pany; and yet. if -was frighatened, I am not $he on ly person."-" Why, who," cries Jones, "dust thou take to lae such a coward haure besides thyself?" "Nay, you may call me coward if you will; but if that little man there upon the stage is not frightened, I never saw any man frightened in my life." "When the scene was over, Jones said, "Why, Partridge, you exceed my expectations. You emjoy the play more than I conceived possible."-"Nay, sir,'" answered Partridge, "if you are not afraid of the devil, I can't help it; but, to he sure, it is natural toa be surprised at such things, though I know there is nothing in thema: not that it was the ghost that surprised me neither ; for I should have known that to have been anly a man In a strange dress: hut when I saw the little man so frightened himself, it was that which took hold of me."-"And dost thou imagine, then. Partridge." cried Joines, " that he was really frightened ?"-"Nay, sir," said Partridge, "did not you yourself obiserve afterwards, when he found it was his own father's spirit, and how he was murdered in the garden, how his fear forsook him by degrees, and he was struck dumb with sorrow, as it were, just as I should have been, had it been mny own case.-Jiut hush! 0 Ia! what noise is that ? There he is aiguin ! --Well, to be certain, though I know there Is nothing at all in it, I ant glad I am nomt down yonder, where those meni are." Then turning his eyes again upon Hamlt,"Ay, you msy draw your swordI; what signi fies a sword against the power of the devilI"" 6. We have only room for one ether passage, upon the power of beauty; and we ugly people may reason ourselves Into consolation as best we can, but there is certainly something in what Fielding says: " To say the truth, perfect beauty in both sexes Is a more irresistible object than it is generally thought: MMMEl nore homely lot., and learn by rote (as children do o repeat what gives them no idea) to despise outside, int to value more solid charmt, .yet I have always >bservod at the approach of consummate beauty, that hese more solid charms only shine with that kind of ,astre which the stars have after the rising of the sun." MORE OF UE LN. Another racy and' relishable s41.h, from the pean of T. T. B.; and still another at hand to be served up in our next week's table. Sa our lips oirer this no for the present. The nexo'rthcoming letter is easoned with the best of Leips1; spice: 113TEL n'nGLETERlRE, BrnRuX,.3Iureh 31, 1858. In my last, I threatened thiaIts successor should be rambling and gossiping, soiee goes t. Lot the ladies take the frst place, andisomething in the first place to interest the ladies. . Here, as in Haznburgh, hoops are not to be found, neither fortifying the female 'fgure, nor hanging at hop door#. If they ever worh. fshionable in these parts, the fact has now becomitraditional Quite the opposite style is cultivated, lngth and lankness be ing apparently quite recherche. Ia Berlin two thirds of the women are perfect giantegae as to heigt, and look as if they might be descended in-a straight line from the tall grenadiers of Friderick the Great and his father. The dearth of beauty among them is appalling! Many, to be sure, ithe undoubtedly fine looking, but beauty of featur'o or delicacy of limb, does nout exist; no small handi, no pretty feet. An Anerican, and especially a Biutherner, must stay at home, or at least keep out of Giermany, if he inds fe male beauty essential to his comfort. But to return to the modes among the fair ones of Berlin. They wear waists just as long as 'tie possi tie to got them, with endless peaks before and behind; very becoming this, to ladies ofoeonsiderable embon point, but not at all the thing for the descendants of the grenadiers. Two and ttree'skirts, and two and three Bounces prevail as among us,-outward cover ings not materially different. -Bonnets are getting to be visible from the front, indeed, some are positively long, and the caprice in veils is highly striking. Eve ry body created in the likeness of mother Eve, wears a veil, be she a dame of for score, or an infant in arms; the baby in its wicker carriage, the little girl of five years, the miss of fourteen, the maidon of oighteen or twenty, and so on down to old age! These veils, beside the stapdard ones of black and white lace, are made of varies thin materials in all colors, pink, blue, lilac, and even yellow and green; many are cut roundisk and trimmed along the edges with light, leecy fringe of great width, and also of divers colors. Very handsome toilettesarevery seldom seen upon the strout, but at the Opera, and often at the Table d'Hute, the ladies dress exquisitely and with much grandeur, the long waists and absence of hoops to the contrary notwithstanding. Opera costume is full evening dress, that is, loads of feathers and fowers upon the head, loads of lace and jewelry upon the bare arms and neck, with flounces and forbelows to match. One sees here such lace as is not to be found in America. The familiar exclamation among ladies is "Ach Herr Jesu !" which is no more nor less than, 0, Lord Jesus. I jump from women to wine. You know we are ac customed to associate "love, wine and women." How sad I feel that my experience does not allow me to ex patiate upon the first of these cardinal delights! Germany is an Eden in respect to its wines, and in re spect moreover to its Insocenee of Brandy, Whiskey, Rum and Giu. Brandy can be had at a moment's warning, but thepeople are guiltless of it. Bordeaux and Rthine Winos, with Lager, Drown and Bavarian Deor, form the conmmon and indispensable beverages. Bordeaux and Rhine Wines, such as St. Julien, Chateau Margeaux, Leoville, Mareobrunner, Hoch. heimor, &c., are to be had fer just half what we pay for them in America. One of the most popular Rhine Wines is called " Liebfrauenmelch," which being translated, is " milk of dear woman." Beer is drunk to excess by all clauses; the best is the Bavarian, which is clear, sparkling and foaming. A stranger must needs cultivate' $e beer somewhat before it is altogether palatable. .A It is out of my pe , as I said before, to expatiate much upon love, ho 1 can at least upon kissing, which is nexjt to it. Alas, not this of which I am go ing to speak I I allude to the German custom of men kissing each other. Yes, 'tis true, and at every railway depot does one become an eye witness of this atrocity. To ace twohearty, handsome, frank young fellows kiss each other, Is perhaps tolerable; hut pic ture to yourself two corpulent and hairless octogona rians, or a couple ef lean, brown and bony giants, or a brace of diminutive and hook nosed Israelites, fall ing into each others arms, and prcssing lip to lip, and cheek to cheek. Ba! !'Uis more than human nature, or at least Anglo Saxon human nature cnn stand. I ramble on. Oln the laud of sour krout, hot bread is scarcely known, perhaps not ait all, save to the ba kers. The only two kinds customary are light wheaten rolls (of vast merit!) and rye or brown brea'd. Batter akes, buckwheat cakes, (those at Mr. Wright's din ner excepted I) wafers Ac., are totally unheard of. A most excellent snd healthful custaom! And another of the sa'me sort Is, thathere none stare at others, and at a stranger especially ; be it when and where it may, a single glance is all you will get, though you have horns on your head, and it may be a tail. German hotels of the first class are inferior I think to the great hotels in American Cities and infinitely deror ; the body of.your bill may be less, but stand clear when the extras begin to appear-the latter are moro numerous than locusta. The waiters at such es tablihments are really very expert and accomplished, but servile and mercenary to a degree most painful; though they are arrayed in black broadcloth, white cravat, pumps, &c., yet would they shed blood for a few cents. 'Tis exactly so however, with their bet trs ! An American knows much better how to ap preciate his own "land of libcrty," after travelling in Europe. The maid servants are remarkably ath letic, more so even than the Emerald females at the North in our country, and do all the hard work ; the color in their cheeks and in their hare arms approach es the hue of the beet-root or mashed mulberries. All people here, except the very high nobility, are comparatively poor; a very straitened and narrow suport in America would, ia Prussia, be quite a for. tune. As for titles, they are well nigh as common as family names; Counts, Barons and Military gentle men, vegitate in any and every common lodging house. Our present representative in Berlin, Mr. Wright of Indiana, has not, from what I can hear, made a very agreeable impressiun. He is .what we would call a plin man, plain in manners andi education. His cele brated dinuner toa Baron Humboldt and other nobilities of the city, at which he had buckwheatcakes, hominy and other dishes peculiar to .America, and no toine, was more (or less rather) than the Prussian Court cir cle could stomaeh. He holds receputio.ns every Satur day evening, and these are also on the temperance pirinciple. is Secretary of Legation is polite, hos pitblo, and altogether a fine fellow. A stranger in Berlin has no diflieulty in getting a fll view, and often if he wishes, of the royal family, as they frequent most of the amusements, besides riding and walking considerably in public. In all the respec table Theatres, and other such buildings, is a gorgeous royal box, draped with red, gliptening with gold, and surmounted by the Black Eagle of Prussia, wherein, as a general thing, some oui or more of the Princes or Princesses are to be espied. These are very nu mneros, for though the king has nia child himself, yet his brothers and sisters have had remarkable success in adding to the census returns. Prince Prederick William (nephew of the king) and his English bride are still objects of unanimous in terest. They are gazed at and run aTter, asthough they were made of gold with diamond eyes-pictures of them fill every shop window and ornament, the backs of all books and musiec; capacious bosoms and lan' arms beer their faces In breastpins and bracelets, and all things of all kinds are named in honor of them. And truth to say, they make a decidedly In teresting couple. The young Prince is a fresh, hand some, manly fellow, with an engaging address, apd becomes well his brilliant red uniform. The Princess looks younger than she really is, fair, round, plump, nd taken upon the- whole, pretty; with beautiful Iwhite neck and arms, quantity of hair always combed f her forehead, winning smile, Ac., &c. She dresses enerally in flowIng white or pink, and a wreath, I ith hundreds of sprays falling all around upon hera meadi Both of them leek bright and happy,-thclr K .eas d.o mot yet actally. wet u aa, crown to" The old King Is at Potsdam still in a deplorable a tate of mind and body. Ilia brother, "the Prince p if Prussia," father of the above young Prince, is for e he time being a sort of regent. The Princess of a russia, mother of young Frederick William, is of the -oyal family of Saxe Weiman and a first cousin of a he Emperor of Russia.-The Opera in Berlin is not I o be equaled except in Paris or London, and the I 3allet in said to be the very finest in the world. The t eople of Berlin have a passion for dancing and dan- r .ors, which amounts to a perfect mania. The Diree. I or of the Ballet is Paul Taglioni, and the leading a Danseuse, Marim Taglioni, brother and neico of the mmortal and retired Taglioni. This Marie is tall, I seautiful, ad, as an artist, but little inferior to her t sover-quite-to-bo-matched Aunt. She is strikingly I like a young lady of our little village! Only last i ight, she performed in La Sylphide! This was a itiring evening in Berlin; La Sylphide, the most c eautiful and popular of all Ballets, was revived and I put upon the stage anew, new scenery, new dresses, I sow eforts in every way. The Opera house was -rammed with the Royalty, Nobility, Diplomacy, Ililitary, Beauty and fashion of the Capitol; such I uagnificence and perfection on the stage, in the boxes, in the general getting up of things, never bofore met I the republican eyes of your present narrator. To es pay a picture of the dancing, and of Marie Taglioni u the Sylph, would be to "gild refined gold or paint the lily !" It has also been my good fortune during my so }ourn here, to see Joanna Wagner, the greatest singer and lyric actress of Germany, in two of her grandest 4 roles, Lady Macbeth and Romeo. This lady has cer tainly more voice than ever woman had before; in compass, it reaches from the lowest and most manenish, contralto to the highest and most florid soprano; in volumo, it would fill St. Peter's. She sings with great scienceo, great execution, great light and shade, but yet lacks the charm of Italian singers. As an ac tress I should class her with Grii, Rachel and Ristori; her Lady Maeboth was grand, powerful, stirring-In deed faultles, and with her extremely tall figure, classic features and wealth of hair, she looked the ambitious and merciless woman, as no other eould. Hfer Romeo struck me as lacking tenderness both in voioo and action. This lady, like the Taglionis, is of illustrious -recodent, her father being Richard Wag. ner, one of the stupendous and unfathomable German composers, whose works are in a new vein, and who is called the leader of the new school. I feel that I am transgressiug all bounds of time, patience and paper! On the morrow, I wend my way towards Liepsic. J. T. B. THE SOUTHERN GUARDIAN.

Gilchrist, the presiding Judge of the U. S. Court of Claims, died in Washington on Thursday last, in the 49th year of his age.

WASHINGTON NEWS. WVAsu!NovoN CITY, May 4th, 185S. DriAn COt. :-I steal a moment to write you perhaps the last letter this Session. It is a source of congrat-I ulation that the Kansas question has been disposed of by Cengress. For the last four years It has been a theme for continued excitement and sectional agita tion which has almost precipitated the country into civil war. The mode adopted by Congress fur the adjustment of tkis long penmding question will doubtless be warmly received by the country. The Dill reported by the Joint Committee of the two Houses was supported not only cheerfully, but with enthusiasm by every friend of the Lecompton Constitution, with the exception of Oea'ls. Bonham 1 and Quitmnan. The fire Southern Know Nothings I *ho voted against It have been acting with the Black Republicans from the beginning. They are Semi-1 Black Republicans any way! So there were really buttwo Southmern men against the measure on its passage Gilmer, of North Carolina, one of the six Southern Americans who voted for the Montgomery Crittendon Amendment, supported the Dill. Nine members from t the North, heretofore classed as "Douglas Democrat.," r ame in to the support of the measure, vis: Owent ones, of Pa., Lawrence, of Conn., Hall, Cockerile, Groesbock and Pendleton, of Ohio, and English and Forby of Indiana. Mr. English it will he remembered, was the author sf the Resolution under which the Committee of Con erence was raised, lie is jest now the object of the ri ost unmeasured abuse by the Black Republicans, o >th in and out of Congress. This is certainly conclu- I ive proof that he has rendered efficient service in ettling this question, which was the only political s tock in trade which the Black Republicans hadl. Mr.C English deserves the thanks of the country for his atriotie exertions in this adjustment. The Bllack Republicans flattered themselves that hey would find permanent allies in Douglas and all >f his anti-Lecomnpton Democratic followers, but in his they are badly sold. I prediet, before this session I loses, they will be denouncing Douglas as fiercely as boy are new abusing English; and I venture to say, T t will be a long time before Douglas will take issue tI pen a great questioi with the National Democratie Cl 'art. Te isue hichhe aise onLecopto wa m experiment, of. which he is sick enangh, and it hat roved to him a failure. Pot the future he will let iperiments alone, and will fight the adtnministration o further. Mark the prediction. There was quite a brilliant and successful demon ration in the city on the night of the passage of the :ansas bill. The roaring of cannon from Capital [ill-and other points in the city, and the rejoicing of ao eitisens generally, over the indications of a speedy I r-union of the great National Party and those who I ave entertained views antagonistic to the National I duinistration on the one subject in question. Betwuen the hours of nine and ton the Marine land, drawn in a ear by four fine steeds, proeeoded D the oxecutire Mansion, followed by thousands of ersonr, among them many ladies congregated in rant of the House. The ceremonies commenced with 'Hail Columbia," which won followed by hearty beers for the President of the United States. The Oresident soon appeared at the window, in fine health, ,nd spirits, and in eleqent terms acknowledged the, ompliment. Speeches were made by Senators !oomb, Gwin and Hon. MeClay, Letcher and Ste heuson of the House of Representatives. From the President's house the multitude proceeded a the residence of Ex-Gov. Bigler, thence to Hon. Ilancy Jonoes,.Senator Green, Ron. W. English and Ion. A. G. Brown, at all of which the music poured orth patriotic strains, and each of the gentlemen ac ,nowledged the honor in terms of glowing eloquence, ixpressing their views of the national blessings which nust result from the settlement of the very vexed uestion. Prossing demands upon my'time compel me to lose. Had I leisure, it would afford me great pleisure, umble as I am, to give you my views at length, and rhy I think the South should be satisfied with the ettlement of the question. Some of our friends ob. oct to it, because they say it is nothing more than ubmitting the Lecompton Constitution to the people f Kansas. In this they are mistaken; if it had been so, he Black Republicans would have voted for it, as that s the very thing they wanted, or what they have, with Douglas and his followers,) been contending for al the time.

By previous appointment, a meeting of the Bible iociety of the Edgeflold Baptist Association was hold at the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, commencing n Friday before the 3d Lord's day in April last, and rotracted till Sabbath afternoon following.

Saturday, after Divine Services, a call was made or additional members, whereupon every male pres. t, became an annual member, and the Ladies con ,ributed liberally to the funds of the Society, every me giving freely.

From the effects, three firemen, Leon ard Wallace, Jeremiah Biridgewood, and Peter Reilly, from New York, have dlied, and Frank McComb, another fireman, and Joseph Pollock, he chief engineer, were scalded, the latter very seriously. The liberated steam forced the gas ad flarnes back into the fireman's room, and the peril of the ship from fire to a short time was imminent. WVith great promptness, and ad res, however the flames were soon brought un er, and the wood of these rooms were only sharred.-Charlceton Standard, Ath.
