With such a dear and delightful belief, death is bereft of its terrors; for death without oblivion is but a calm sleep; it is only repose after long fatigues.

In plucking it, I shed tears of joy, fori believed it to be the soul of my mother, who feeling that I was beside her grave, returned to me in the form of this flovvret.

May 17 1851. Hit. Editor. The Nebraska excitement, which has set lie whole country by the cars, has found its vay to this peculiarly excitable metropolis, nid t'orius the staple of conversation and iiseossioti in political circles. The friends >f the Hill arc now and have been so sure of ts passage, that they have deemed it unnecssary to get up anv formal demonstrations n its favor; its enemies, however, have exiresscd tluir sentiments in several pu' lic uee'ings. One of these took place in the hirk last Saturday evening, on the call of ionic of our prominent whigs and a handful! if barnburners. It was attended by several liousand, w ho entered an emphatic protest igiinst tlio repeal of former compromises. Benjamin F. Butler, tlio friend and ally of Martin Van Huron, was the chief speaker. The Atlantic and Pacific Canal Company lave just sent a second surveying party unlcr the direction of James C. Lane, to complete the exploration of the Isthmus of I)arien, particularly that portion of it between parallels l and 8, w ith the view of deciding mi the best route for the proposed ship canal. The first survey satisfactorily established the fact that the work c ould lie carried through for $*25.000,0U0; hut from information then obtained, Mr. Lane believes that a line can be selected which will shorten the distance and cost a sum considerably less than mentioned above. It is hoped that operations will he speedily commence, and that this great enterprise, the importance of which to the commerce of the whole world can hardly he overestimated, w ill be prosecuted with vigor to completion. Mr. Webb, our extensive shipbuilder, who has under contract a steamer for the lbiiprror Nicholas, has had some doubts whether under our existing neutrality laws, in the present position of atfair.s, it was proper for him to proceed with its construction. He has at length concluded to do so, by the advice, it is understood, of parties high in the confidence of government. Nothing new has transpired lately with regard to the privateering movements of RtmsLn Agents in this country. Either the whole story was the creation of some alarmist, or else the representatives of our Cousin of Muscovy arc keeping dark till tlio blow is struck.? The latter hypothesis is rat lief improbable ; for Brother Jonathan bus a keen nose, ami is generally not slow in scenting out hidden tilings especially when his own interest or those of his friends are concerned. Tlio Religious Anniversaries have closed and tile strangers whom the. attracted hither, having completed their visit to their city cousins and satisfied their curiosity in the Crystal Palace, are leaving for home, well contented with having killed several birds [ with one stone. Dr. Dull', the famous East ; Indian Missionary, whose fervid zeal ciu-cs j his grotesque oratory to be overlooked, sailed in the last Atlantic steamer. A Verdict of jkHUUO Ikis lately been given in a suit brought by Shoerjashub Spooner, proprietor of the lhydell Jshakspeare plates, against John M Daniels, late editor of the Richmond Examiner, tor libels contained in the latter paper. Dr. Spoouer, having purshuik'd these celebrated plates and had them retouched, sent an agent Soutlir fo the purpose of procuring subscribers for the engravings. This agent, having reached Richmond, commenced operations with every prospect of .success, when a tierce diatribe I appeared in the Examiner forcibly denouuc- I mg the publication as a humbug and cautioning the public against investing in it? I Thin article, Dr. Mpoouer alleges, prevented I liis obtaining subscribers in Richmond and ' the adjoining places, and hence the suit that ' lias just been decided. As Mr. Daniels is not iu tlie country, but represents our government at a foreign port, no defence was j made; and the Jury estimated the damage received at $8,000. The usual row came off Inst Sunday. The ' Angel Gabriel Orr has happily relieved us of his presence ; but the* satellite who carried 1 liis tin trumpet remains, and holds forth weekly in place of his angelic master. Abusc of tiiu l'ope and all who bcliwe in him (especially Irishmen) constitutes the chief element of the tin trumpeter's harangues; and as it is not in the nature of a son of Erin to hear cither himself or his rcligiou attack, ed without letting shclaluh speak in his b< half, the performances are sure to end in a tight. Iaist Sunday, half adozon.who were concerned iu the disturbances, were arrested, 'i'he authorities, however, do nothing to prevent the recurrenee of these disgraceful col- , lisiona, but rather encourage theui by their! unpardonable intbeeility. Orr has gone to I Boston, to enlighten the inhabitants of! the Tremmont city. He has there ocoa- | sioned even more trouble than In New York. I After several riots had been occasioned by 1 bis violent denunciations of Catholicism, a commission was appointed to decide upon the preacher's sanity. A majority of the j examiners having pronounced him in sound mind, the authorities felt bound to protect him in his right to freedom of speech ; and accordingly, the military were put under arms last Sunday to defend him while he assailed in the coarsest Billingsgate, ad lib*. i mot, all who dilfcr from him in creed. Ex-president Fil Imoro is expected to# arrive in the city to-day from Philadelphia. n? wm Dc recemu by a uunmittce of the j Jouiuion Council, appointed to tender him .he iioapiiulitico of Vivo city. Few public non just now enjoy, in thin vicinity, the pertonal popularity which Mr?Fillmoru poseeetee. if any public demonstration ia got up 11 Tj# j ill his honor during his sojourn here, the feelings of the people will bo exhibited in a inaiiner not to be tnistuken. The various theatres are doing a good business. At Wallack's, the principal at traction is Mr. Wallaek himself, who is playing Benedicks, Shyloek, and other telling parts to appreciating audiences. James An- 1 dorsou, an English actor of repute, is the bright particular star at the Broadway, where he appears nightly in Richard III., the Huron, I .ear, &c. Nil.lo'.s theatre has been re- j lifted throughout, mid is now one of the I largest and most elegant houses in th, city, j it is capable of accommodating three thuuand live hundred persons; and every seat ( was occupied last evening, on the occasion I of Mrs. Anna Cora Muwntt's appearance as i'artbenia on tin* sterling drama of ingoinar. | This popular actress apd authoress is about j to be married, and consequently intends bidding a permanent farewell to the stage.? She is to appear two more nights in this ! city ; and then a short engagement in Boston j closes her histrionic career.

[For the Ledger.] The subject of education once regarded as of secondary importance by many, is now beginning to be regarded in lis proper light by the great mass of people. Consequently it behoves us to bring to notice such institutions as we consider,from the characters of their conductors, worthy of public confidence and support. Such nn institution is Providence Academy situated twelve miles from Charlotte, N. C., and for five years past under charge of E. C. Kuykcndal, Esq., a gentleman of sound, able and varied scholarship, bland and unassuming manners, and above all of deep and ardent piety, and possessed of an earnest devotion to the cause of education to which In* has given the best years of his life. At present, worn out from siekniss und disease, contracted by too sovero application to his duties, he has gone to seek a brief respite from labor and toil in the hope of restoring his wonted health and vigor.? Should it bo so, be will resume tnc exenises of bis school at ths eat Host possible moment. The number of students generally \aricd from t .\ ciity-live to thirty. Th >' arc noted for their correal deportment, industrious habits ami scholarship. From these and other causes Providence Accademy offers unexampled inducements to young persons desirous of obtaining a school and teacher qualified to prepare thoin for the Sophomore class in College or to fit them for the common duties of life.

The report of the bombardment nnd rapture of Odessa by the nlliod fleet, was totally untrue. The story arose from the eir cumstance of the batteries at Odessa having fired harmlessly into tho llrili?h ahip Furious, which wm sent with a Hag of truce to bring oil" the Conanl and British residents. The ships of the allied fleet were, however within sight of Odeaaa on tho illst, and an attack may very soon occur. The reported rnptore of Slliatria was also unfounded.bat Paskiewitch was making preparations to attack it. On the 16th, a sharp combat took place before Lslsfut. Twenty squad runs of Russians, with six guns, were making a reeon. noisance of the Turkish linear when the Turks sallied out with two regiments of regulars, some Daehu Dayohks and eannon, ami after a combat of three hoars duration, Mi -*r obliged thu Russians to retreat w itli u loss of 600 men.

The forces before Kalafat were withdrawn toward Krajova.? Their strength in the Dohrudscha is about 10.000 men. It was rumored at Vienna that Pasfciowilch had ordered the evacuation of I.esser Wallaehia. This, if true, was regarded as a concession to retain the favor of Austria. Troops were retreating towards Bucharest, indicating a change in the plans of Russian operations. The Sultan has offered a command to Abel-Kader.

On the '26th, the fleet was off Gustorgnn Gothland. Black Sea The French licit was anchored ofl* I)olschik. Several steamers were within sight of Odessa, '21st, hence arises the probability of an attack on that place. The following brilliant feat is announced : The British steamer Fury, t> guns, on the | 11th ir.st., under Austrian colors, steamed | within three miles of the entrance to Sebas-1 tapol, \\ here she s iw two merchantmen, two brigs, two frigates, and a steamer, leaving the harbor.

One of the frigates and steamers came within range and exchanged broadsides. After four hours the Fury escaped, carrying ofl" the Russian I merchant's crews as prisoners of war, who | gave important information respecting the strength of Sehastapol. A feat also reported as performed by tho Russians: A steamship, supposed to ben Russian dispatch boat, under British colors, boldly steamed from tho Archihclago, pi ssed the batteries of the Dardanuellcs, and succeeded in escaping into tho Black Sea.

The Journal Ft.
