Tlae Da?y [ISTews. FRIDAY MORNING. MAY $5, I860. The Duty off the Hour. [From, the Richmond Times, May 19.) Wo were favored a few davs since with a lotter from a very worthy gontleman, who bonorod us with a great deal of gratuitous advico relativo to the mannor in which tho Bouthorn nr??8n and peo ple Bhould deport themselves tit this timo. Our adviser evidently believoa that wo should imitate tho early Christians, as well a? the "Covenantors," in tho times of t.lkvcrhouso, ?and wood for our-j dead where tho voice of our lamentation? uhall not offend tho oars of Jacobins und Radicals. All such indiscret loot, aa piously gathering up tho bones of dead Confederate soldiora, and strewing flowers upon tboir humble graves, anmild be caro fully avoided. Neither should w make much ado about the great renown of Stone wall Jackson, "for tboso demonstration? do much burn)." To all this wo havo but.-uo responso to multo. Tho Southern people, although donied nosrly ail tbo right? and privileges ot American citizens, aro rondoring to tbo Federal lawa and Constitu . tion a respectful obedience which is worthy of imitation at Washington. Thoy are paying their laxos* although thoy aro donied all tbo advan tages of representation, and thoy are a law-abid ' ing people. ?. But wo scorn and spit upon all tbo attempts which inorcilesB, uugouerous and tyrannioal revo lutionists are making to dictate to ue where our aympathlea,.affeetionu and Borrows are concerned. "Troaaon can novor bo made odious" by vilo and impudent attempts to dictate to the Southern people'whero questions of aontiruiut uiid feeling 1 are concerned; ThoBO who advise ue to try" n-^BBiona, humility and "reticonoe" with Radical? and Jacobins, aro utterly ignorant of tho *-;atory of riuoh partios. The leaders of auch p.- r ios are as mefdilesa as wolve?. Thoy triumph a? long us thoy uro opposed ' , by timid couBorvstivo parties. Let our correa ; fondent read tbo history of tbo Jacobin party in ' Ecftnce, and he will find tbat-it triumphed ovor all who opposed it with timid conaorvativo appo&la and arguments. ' ' ' Rnnh parties must ho taken by tho throat and . . strangled. They niuat be denounced and pursued as enoniioB of tho human family. Andrew John son understood the wisdom of this offensive policy when he grappled Sunnier and Stevena, as a po liceman would two veteran offenders, and boldly - denounced thorn. Andrew Jackson dealt with bia ... political enemiea in tho ?amo way, and cruehod a party far more formidable than tho Radicals. Tho r Know-Notln g party waa a giant iu strength until ' Governor Wiae inaugurated a floreo, moroiless, relentless war upon the Ordor, and it died liko a hu'go Horpent in biB grip. So must the revolutionists be mot and conquer ed now. North and South, all Union loving, hon eat, conservative, God-fearing mon must draw" | the awo'rd'and cast away tbo scabbard. With tho desperate, lawlesa men who havo eoizod tho vessel of State there can be no compromiao?no tetina of honorable capitulation: They have seized the ship; dishonored tbo "stare and atripea," and run up the black flag of Anarchy, Disunion and Revo lution. Tbey havo proposed no compromiso to the South ..that docs not mean Infamy, Degrada tion, Dishonor, Negro Equality! DiBfrancbise ment and Qonflecation. President Johnson, sus tained by the great maas of tbo respectable poli ticians of the North, baa determined to reaeuethe Ship of State from theae men. Hie policy will ' " hereafter be aggreaBive, because it la the only one ' ' which promiaea nltimato buooqbs. We boliovo that bo tar aa the Southern people axe concerned, there ia neither honor nor aafoty in' "relfcerice" and "reepectful acquiescence." We are the ' Victims of nionatrous \nd moat-ungene rous outrag?e, abd the revolutionists, in ehowing their malignant detestation of us, are trampling upon, the Constitution to effect our degradation and. ruin. The allegiance which wo owe to the Constitution and lawa of the United States is not due to those who have deliberately trampled thoBO lawa under foot; It id as much* our duty to protect those laws aa ,it ia Andrew Johnson's, and it is right and pt-oper . .that we should, denounce .our. ciUumniatora, de ;. famers, and traducera. Tbey are. not the Govern ment,' and it is to that, and not to its onomios, we owe obedience. When the people of the South , failed to achieve that national ludopendonoe for which they battled for lour years, their faihiro entailed UO asaMXlkM noil}>?r <?r?<?o rmr renewed -1- J?iVy- refluir? That wo ahould sacrifice a Biuglo fooling or sentiment of manliness to the dictation - of such men as those whom the Preaidont haa most justly denounced as wicked and malignant . "diBUniouiata" und "ouomioa of thoir country." ' \ ; - '; ' > a> n ' -i? I .loh? luXtt.on.el on 11??- State of Ireland. Mr. John Mitchel bas addressed a second epistle j i to the Opinione Nationale on Ireland. His former " letter, he says, was commented upon in a leading article of the Times, but no one disputed the facts set forth in it, and tho Times deduced from them ?U argument in favor of tho coercive ayatem in Ireland. He hopes that no one in Frsnco will ever again deolare that Ireland ia admin istered by the same laws, or_that she enjoys the same liberties as England. The grievances which Mr. Mitchel now compUins of may be summed up thus : Tlie existence in Ireland of a code to which England, Scotland, and Wales aro strangers. Exceptional laws by which the Irish people are prohibited from deliberating among themselves on their 1 . .. .own affairs by means oi a committee of dele . gates elected for that object. The right of possessing arms restricted to a few favored per sona. The teaching-or learning drill, or any mili tary man uvre whatever i even without arms, is prohibited, under penalty of transportation, with hard labor. The Iriah cannot organize them i . selves as volunteers for the defence of their country. And, finally, the sheriffs of the large cities, instead of being elected by their fellow cltizonB, as in Enuland, are named by the crown. in order to aeoure the juries. Everybody muet admit that such a system is well adapted for crushing in Ireland all free action and all politi , cal and civil life. It ia true that tho rigorous vigi lance of the English in preventing the Iriah from procuring arms and learning the use of thorn may be considered as a sort of compliment to us. Eng land does us tho honor of believing that if we bad arme we should know how to make a proper use of I , them, and they .will have nothing of the kind. It is ? compliment, badly turned: but in the mat ter of compliment between England and Ireland we muat not bo nice. Let na, then, accept it for ' -the ;Qomont until we got better. Wo shall doubt - ?, ler se told that Ireland has access, through her representatives, to the London Parliament, and has thus legal,, certain, and sufficient menus to . , .Obtain all.reforms and liberties necessary and' X. ; acceeaory. liut in reality in that Parliament Ira- i ' land naif but a'derisivo semblance of representa tion, and that representation, such as it is, is' completely controlled by tho British Government., ; , The iriah people do not believe that they are re-' presented in the English Parliament. Thoy do < not desire to beso. They have not the right to bo ao, Thoy hopv for nothing good?nothing just from that Parliament; and tbey have never reaped ; anything from its legislation but famines, and a system of corruption and coercion without parallel. Thoeo very laws wbioh purported to be reforms have done nothing but evil to Ireland. It is by the law of municipal reform that the. British Government has fouud the means of al ways picking and choosing its juries. It is by the Catholic Emancipation Act that the Government has been enabled to buy up the riebest and most influential Catholics, who, but for it, would never have dared to sell tbemsolves. In a word, the London Parliament, to wbioh we are referred for ; tho redress of all our grievances, is itself the greatest and the most fatal of all the grievances of Ireland, and includes all the other?. Ireland, i then, in the judgment of the majority of its popu lation, has no legal and constitutional means of obtaining justice. Hence we havo Fenianism, the deliberate and organized negation of all Englinh laws and of that Constitution which the English call tho wonder and envy of tbe nations of tbo universe." , ' Mr. Mitchel intimatos that bo proposes, in a fu ture latter, to explain clearly what Fenlanism is, and, above all, what it Is not. -I)M : .a J3 .

I do not know how I can tako tho taste of tho above out of tho mouths of your readers better than to give them tho substance of a statemont recently put forth by tho celebrated Dr. Forbes Winslow on tho above snbjoct. It is given appio nos of a question raised in tho House of Lords as to the competency of the Chiot Justice of Ireland. "This debate," Buys Dr. W?hbIow, "raisod tho interesting questions, at what particular period of life do tlit) montai powers begin to decline, und when, as a general rule, is first observed tho commencement of intellectual decay ? Tho cele brated physiologist of the University of Moutpe lier.'Dr. Lordat, maintains that it is tho vital, not intellectual, principle that is seen to wane as old ago throws its autumnal tingo ovor the greon foliage of life. "It is not true," ho says, "that the intellectual becomes woakur after tho vital forco bas passed its- culminating point. Tho under standing acquires more strength during tho first half of that period which is designated as old age. It is theroforo impossible to assign any period of oxistence at which tho reasoning powers suffer deterioration." I will refer to a fow illustrations with -the view of establishing that great vigor of undestanding, brilliancy of wit, and clearness of intellect, are often soon associated with advanced ago. Lord kldon died at tho ago .of eighty-six. He remained in full enjoyment of his wonderful intel lect until shortly before his doath. Lord Eraran iivefl to the ago of soventy. His powors of mind continued up to the last moment unimpaired. Lord Hardwieko diod at Bovonty-throo, in the full possession of his groat mulera finding. Lord Stowoll lived to the ago of ninety. His mind was vigorous to the last. Lord Mansfield died at tho advanced ago of eighty-nine, in full and unclouded vigor of intellect. A fow days before this illus trious judge passed into eternity, ho heard his nicco asking a gentleman who was present as to tho meaning of tho word "psephinmata," which occurred 1h Bnrko's celebrated work on the French Bovolution. The answer was that it was a mis print for "sopkismata." "No I" exclaimed Lord Mansfield, " 'psophiumata' is right." Ho then, without the slightest difficulty, quoted from me mory a passage from Demosthoues in illustration of the fact. Dr. Johnson diod at sovonty-Qve. His last work, the : "Lives of tho English Poets," was writton only three years beforo his death. Ohaucor lived to tho age of sovonty-two| with an intellect in full awd brilliant activity. Sir E. Ooko died at eighty two. Tho last few days of bis life were spent in revising his numorous works preparatory to their publication. Sir Ieaao Newton published the third edition of his "Prinoipia," with a now pre face, at tho age of eighty-three. The great Look o died at sevonty-three, showing no deoay of intellect. He was actively engaged iu literary composition up to a few days of Ii?b death. Oberubini continued brilliant in conversation at the ago of eighty. Goaaeo composed a "To Deum" at seventy-eight. Corneille at the age of soventy exhibited no failure of intellect. Waller composed, when he was past eighty, a beautiful poem, ontitled "A Presage of tho Ruin of the Turkish Empire." Titian continued to exorciso his marvellous ge nius as an artist up to the ago of ninety-Bix, when suddenly ho died of the plaguo'in Venice. Benja min West painted his celebrated "Death on the Palo Horee," said to have been his beBt work, at tho ago of Bevonty-nine. At tho age of eighty threo, Cumberland, the Bishop of Potorborour?h, Btudied and mastered critically Dr. Wilkin's "Cop ti? Toolaiuoul." . DCnudel 1UUU? 111? l&al fJUUllu <??. near anco at the advanced ageof seventy-five. Ben Johnson died at the age of sixty-throe. On bis de*ath-bod he composed that' exquisite pastoral fragment, "Tbe Said Shephord." Numerous other illustrations could bo cited to establish that tbe mental powers do not necessa rily decay as eld ago advances. We must, there fore, to repeat the language of Lord Chelmeford, "be a little cautious in measuring the mental ca pacity of old ago." A distinguished ornamont of their lordships* HousoJLord Lyndhurst) had not long passed away, who had adorned every debate with tho most profound wisdom and judicial elo quence that had never been surpassed. That no ble lord, on the night he entered upon his nineti eth year, addressed their lordships in a speech that riveted their attention for more than half an hour with tho most perfeot clearness, lucidity and wisdom, thus showing that his powerful intellect was setting without a cloud. The Pall Mall Gazette says on the above : Dr. Forbes Winslow's interesting letter on the retention of mental vigor in old age, should bo supplemented by taking note of the undeniable fact that a largo number of the noblest works of the imagination have been produced when thoir authors had reached the period when it is sup posed that the faculties begin to deoay. Michael Angelo began his groat picture of the "Last Judg ment" . when he was fifty-nine. Milton finished " Paradise Lost" when he was fifty-seven. Among musicians the facts are fully as remarkable. Gluck revolutionized the operatio art by bringing ont the "Orfee" when he was fifty. Handel was fifty eight when ho wrote his first oratorio, "Esther;" when he wrote "Israel in Egypt" he.was sixty-five, and when be wrote the " Mossiah" he was sixty seven. Haydn wrote the " Creation" when ho was sixty-four, and Beethoven was fifty-three when he wrote th? Choral Symphony.' It is also to be noted, by tho way, that. the three men who pos sessed "the gift of original genius in a higher degree than any of the others here named??, c., Michael Angelo, Handel and Beethoven?were never married." . AUBREY.* Goitre anti Incipient Cretinism In th? Unl . led Statcn. ;; ! . A meeting of the American Ethnological Society war held. ' recently .at'-the residence of Mr. E. O. Squior, when Dr. Macgowan read a. paper on Goitre?enlargement of1 the thyroid' gland of the neck?in certain districtt? of tho'-United fltfttoa, and oh'the modifying influanoos'of climatQ. JIo had observed While In tho army the prevalence of that Alpine affection iu tho hilly region of Vir ginia?on the acoUvities of tho Bino Ridge, where for the most part it waa restricted to hogroos and mulattooa. lie lately, however, found it far more prevalent in lateral valleys of the Susquonanna, particularly on its'tributary, the Juniata. In the Buffalo valley, at least one por cent., and. in .the Kiahacoquilla valley two or mor?, per cent, of the population were thus affected?among tho third and fourth generations of the .settlers, and, as in corresponding portions of Switzerland, chiefly among women; out while in the Alps one-twelfth of the subjects of the malady are malos, its oc currence among men in these parts of our country is extromely rare. It is most frequent in narrow volloys and moist ravines. In Klehacoquilla val loy, the hills of whiob have an altitude of about five hundred foet above the Juniata, there is low belt, abovo which the disoaso is not often mol with. ' Dr. Macgowan thinks ho found evidence ir thoso valleya of incipient cretinism, aa the propor tion of "daft porsons is far greater than he found in other portions of hia American travels. As the samo conditions obtain there that are found ii oertain portions of Switzerland, he says that but for counteracting causes a fow moro generation! would develop ?he usual concomitant of goitre? crotinism; the chief counteracting cause being tin migratory character of our people. In these se cludod valloya there is' a great amount cf inter marrying, whicn contributes to physical and men tal degeneracy. The imbecility obfiorVed .by Dr Macgowan was" hot observed among tbe goitroui population, but among .those who a e oxomp from bronobo?cle. j <*** _> _> Se?or Navarro,' Coniral-General of Mexico atated that in certain portions of Mexico goitr and cretinism were prevalent, both among the In dlans and Spanish settlers. Mr.4 Sanier had ob ?erred goitre in Pern;and in Nicaragua. Dr. Met rick, spoke o? its pjrovolenco in Panama. Dr. Mac ?" owan attributed the exemption or Amorloai adians from, goitre to their moratory habit?. !th6\ Hon'. ?SS )?. iaatox, of j yirgipra,^?^ among iho p'aasongers 'or 'the steamship Mon raorrin,'wh'io?' arrived- Iffl Quoboo on tho 15th in at ant.

Thoro is probably no asaombly in tho world whero an apt quotation from tho classics is so keenly relished as in tho English House of Com mon?. Many an orator, woak iu bio IorIo and un certain as to lus facts, haa regained tho sympathy of bis audionoo thoro 1 " a fortunate morBol of Horace, or Juvenal, or V.rgil, and many a true man has had Mio laugh against him in coneo quenco of some lucky hit made uy h?B advorsary, or somo trip inado by himself in tho gamo of quo tations. A curious instanco of this fondness for classical citation occurrod in tho groat reform debates of this Bpring. Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Lowe, who has boon, porhaps, tho ablest opponent of tho bill, bandied, on ecvoral occasions, tho passages in tho second book of the iEnold, relating to tho woodon horeo by which tho Greoks deceived tho Trojans. Mr. OladBtono started tho gamo one evening in March, when he was denying that tho increased political powor of the working classes is fraught with daugor : " We cannot look upon it as tho Trojan horco ap proaching tho walls of tho sacred city, and filled with armed mon bont npon ruin, plunder and confiscation. Wo cannot join In comparing It with that monstrum in felix?we cannot Bay? '-Scaudit fatalis machina muros, F ta arrula: mouiroquo mlnaus Ulabltur urbi." Or aa Drydon haa it :? " ' At longth the fatal fabric mounts tho walls, Big with destruction. It cntorso'cr our heads, and threats tho town.' ' ' Mr. Lowo, spoaking on tho following evening, possibly after conning his Virgil a little, saw his way to turu this to account. " Tho Chancellor of tho Exchequer," he said, " haa found a quotation describing soinothing, and then savs, ' that is not my bill.' ? 'Woll that was a very apt quotation, but there was a curious folicity about it which ho little dreamt of. Tho House romembers that among other proofa of tho degroo iu which public opinion is enlisted in tho causo of roform whb this,?that this is now tho fifth Reform Bill that has boon brought in sinco 1851. Now, just attend to tho sequel of tho paBsago quoted by tho right honora blo gentleman. I aa ne believer in :orles Vigil ianoi, and tho House will see why in a moment: " <_) Dlvum doniua Ilium, et Inclyta bello Moonia Dardnnl dura! quater ipso In liuiiue portai Subatltlt, atquo utero aonltum quatOr arma (lodere.' " [Much chcoring ami laughter." But that is not all: " 'Inatamun lam un immemores, cieciquo furore, Kt monstrum iufolix aacrata aistimus arce.' " "[Cheers.] Woll, I abominate tho presage con tained in tho last two liues, but I mix my confi dence with foar. "To follow Brydf n's translation again? " 'O saored city, built by hands divine I O valiant bur?es of tho Trojau Uno I .Four times be atiuck; as oft t1 c clashing sound Of arma was hoard, and Inward groans rebound. Yet, mad with zeal, aud blinded with our fate, Wo haul along tho horso In solemn state' " Mr. Gladstone apparently did not think it worth while to follow up ills gamo much further. On tho I next evening, howover, charging Mr. Lowe with denouncing tho workiognioti, he recurred to his lines first quoted, in a tone of explanation more grave than that which he might have used with effect : "I raid this lino 'monstrum infclix,' no horno charged with armed meo, who are to carry are and desolation to your homos; bnt my right honorable friend rushed in baste Into tho trap, and with porteutoua emphasis ex claimed : 41 ?Instamos tarnen immemores, c clqao furore, Et menstrual lnfollx saorata sistlmus arce.' " "What is the tmonstrum infelixf Who are the persons | contained In It? The 7-poundors 1 " [Loud choors.] Finally, in tho great closing debato of the ses sion, Mr. Lowo rejoined and ended tho affair, by a final recurrence to the quotation, in a strain which is striking for its easy raillory and keen sarcasm combined. Wo confess that wo aro uncertain whether tho "inanltlng Sinon" of this dosing quo tation was intended for Mr. Gladstone, whom Mr. Lowe had aooasod of great indecorum toward the House, or Mr. Bright, who is asserted by tho Conservatives to be the real loader, who, at the head of the host of Democracy, stands behind tho ministry : '' "I have said that I am utterly unable to coincide in the reasons whloh the Chancellor of tho Exchequer has laid before na In support of thin bill, bnt there is hap yuj uuo uuuuuuu gruuua ion to us, ana mat Is tne Becond Hook of the A?neid of VirglL ['Hear,' and a laugh.) Uy right hon. friend. Uko the moth taut has singed Its wlngi In the candle, has returned again to the poor old Trojan horno, [a laugh,] and I shall, with tho permission of the House, give thorn ono more excerpt from the history of that noble best; first promising that I shall then turn him out to grass, at all ovents for the remainder of the season. [Cheers and laughter.] The passage which I am about to quote. Is one which is, I think, worthy the attention of tho House, because it. contable a description, not only of the invading army of which we hiTO hoard so much, but also.a Blight sketch of lta General." [A. laugh]: "Arduua armatoi xnodils In mcenlbus adatar?a Fundit equns, vlotorque Binon incendia mlocet Insultons [cheers and laughter]: portla oui blpaten tibus adsunt, M Ulla quotmagnla nunquam venere M y cenia." [Cheers.] In other words: Thefatal horse poura forth the human tide, Insulting Biuon flings his firebrands wide, The gates are burst; tho ancient rampart falls, And swarming millions climb its crumbling walls." After all, however, these quotations lack the fino flavor v?liioh some of thoso long sinco record ed derive from evidently extemporaneous citation and instant use. Congressional misquotations from the poets are proverbial. Mr. Clay rarely had occasion to do part from tho realm of his affluent imagination: but we have been informed by a former honored editor of the Intelligencer, that on one occasion he essayed to qnote from Shakspeare tho familiar passage? "Let the galled jade wince. My wither* are unwrung." He waB twice corrected by Mr. Preston, of South Carolina, bnt had it wrong at last. The SpriTHjnold Republican has a good hit in thiswise, wo quote:- , "?HAXafBABtIM tueB?nate.?Scrlpturo, Shakspeare and the old Greeks and Bomana genorally, fare badly when they fall Into the hands of Congressmen. There Was an amusing Illustration of- this in the Senate, Thursday, when three distinguished Senators tried to glveafaml: -quotation from tthakspoare," and neither did it con? r. . 1 - j '-Mr. Dot o, of .Wisconsin, had described the differ, ont wings M 10 Republican pvy?iho iirrlveraal-Buf frage party.

The true rendering of the witches'song is: "'Black spirits end white. Blue spirits and gray ; Mingle, mingle, mingle, Too that mingle may.' " Cookery Scientifically Treated.

A wholo brigado of tho French army in 1793?and it was an historical fact ?was fed on diseased meat for four or Qvo months; and at the end of that time tho men were apparently aa healthy aa those of other brigades who ato wholesome meat. Tho fact of it was tho diseased moat was overcooked, and tbo men did not know tho difference. . Tho TrofcBBor could not recommend diaoascil moat, but tho objoet of roforring to tho subject was simply to show tbo importance, sometimes, of overcooking meat.
