A correspondent of a Chicago journal, who has lately visited the national capitol, pays au eloquent tribute to the three great men whose presence and influence ure now so sadly missed in the halls of Congress. We can easily imagine the emotions of an old visitor of the Capitol, who, after many years, comes back to that magnificent structure, but misses that which was its chief glory, the illus? trious statesmen, whose broad, At lantean shoulders were lilted to bear the burthens of empire. Architec? tural skill may raise a more gorgeous edifice than that of the simpler days of the Republic, but where is the Promethean spark that shall relume the .light of those fires of genius which once made it the glory ol' the earth? The casket may be more splendid, but the gems which gave it its chief Taine have ceased to shine. There was something even in the personal presence of Webster, Cal- j houn and Clay which attracted the j observation of a stranger. The mas- j sive form of Webster, the imperial ! brojv, the solemn repose of the classic j features, lit up by those lustrous, : cavernous eyes; the iron physique ? of Calhoun; the graceful, spirited, chivalric person of Clay, challenged the attention of strangers visiting the Senate. It needed no one to point them out to those who did not know them. The hand of Nature had stamped upon each the unmistakable mark of men born to lead and com? mand. When they grappled each other in debate, it was a war of giants. Yet, it is a remarkable fact that these, the three greatest Americans that have lived-in the modern days of the Republic, were never elevated to the Presidency. If they were ambitious tc obtain the highest honors of the Republic-and no one had a better right to indulge stich aspirations they went dewai to the grave disap? pointed men, and, so far as their per? sonal elevation to the highest official dignities was concerned, might ?is well have been subjects of a European monarchy as citizens of tin; American Republic. Undoubtedly, the career which each ran, long so brilliant m fame and influence, was sadly darkened towards its close. The sun, which has risen so auspiciously, and travel? ed in sueli might and splendor through the firmament, went down shorn of its bright ness and enveloped by melancholy clouds. Bnt it was the disappointment, of a deeper and nobler passion than personal ambi? tion that darkened the last days of the most illustrions patriots of a former era. Their prophetic vision beheld the calamities which were im? pending over their country, and who? mever else may have been blind to the signs of the coming storm, no one can doubt that the experienced mariners who had so long struggled to avert it, felt, with a pang as keen as that of death, that the labor of their lives was lost, and that their own funeral dirges would scarce have ceased before the ship of St^te would go to pieces, and the roar of the breakers sing a nation's requiem. If these great amt patriotic Amesir cans could once more re-visit ?i\o scenes o? their ancient renown, /now would they struggle to bind i(jf]> the wounds which tim war bas made, and to build that Union which th?f?r lives "illustrated upon foundations which the vicissitudes and convulsions of < time could never change^ If it is ! spirit, and render a worthy tribute to their memory by promoting the mutual concord and confidence of the Americiin people. [Richmond Dispatch. I AN ELOQUENT EXTRACT.-The foi I lowing is from a speech delivered by the Hon. Alexander White in the Alabama Sbite Convention: * * * The Bonnie Blue Flag no longer reflects the light of the morn? ing sunbeam, or kisses with its silken folds the genial breezes of our South em clime. The hands that waved it along the fiery crest of a hundred battle-fields, and the hearts that, for the love they bore it, so often defied danger and death, no longer rally around it. Another banner waves in triumph over its closed and prostrate folds, but proud memories and glori? ous recollections cluster around it. Sir, T will refrain. The South needs no etdogy. The faithful record of her achievements will encircle her brow with glory bright and enduring as thc diadem that crowns the night of her cloudless skies. The scenes of Marathon and Piatas have been re? enacted in thc New World without the b?n?ficiai results which flow from those battle-fields of freedom, and our country lies prostrate at the feet of the conqueror. But dearer to me is she in this hour of her humiliation than was she in the day and hour of her power. Each blood-stained field, each track of de? vastation, each new-made grave of her sons fallen in her defence, each mutilated form of the Confederate soldier-lier widow's tear, her or? phan's cry-are but so many cords that bind me to her in the midst of her desolation, aud draw my affec? tions closer around my stricken coun? try. When I raise my hand or lift my voice*against her, may the thun? ders rivet nie where I stand. Though I be false in all else, I will be true fb her.* Though all others may prove faithless, I will be faithful still. And when, in obedience to the great com? mand, "Dust to dust," my heart shall return to that earth from whence it sprang, it shall sink into her bosom with the proud consciousness that it never knew one beat not in unison with the honor, the iutersts, the glory of my country. AFFAIRS IN ARKANSAS.-The Little Hock Gazette, of the 2Stl? ultimo, says: "Occasionally we hear through the papers of some outrages being com? mitted in the Western and Southern portions of tho State, but, as a gene? ral thing, it may he said that 'all is quiet' throughout Arkansas; and, just now, when the rigors of winter are upon us, this is a peculiarly gratifying state of affairs. It is true, there is some suffering caused by the evils which follow war, but looking to the sad occurrences which are constantly being enacted in other States, we have just cause to be thankful to an over-ruling Providence that wc are passing along so smoothly and happily." The New York Herald recommends a World's Congress to regulate inter? national law. The London Times, with its usual unfairness, steals the thunder of the Herald, and hurls it from its own Olympus. We are glad to see that the Herald exposes the ignominious fraud. The Times ought " to be ashamed of itself. To pilfer an idea from thc New York Herald is the smallest piece of petit larceny that wc ever heard of. What is the world coming to! We shall next hear of tlie Rothschilds picking the pocket of some poor old Fagin in St. ?Giles. [ Richmond Dispatch. HORACE GREELEY rx WASHINGTON. A Washington despatch to the Phila? delphia Sunda? Press says: "Thc editor of the New York Tribune had a long interview with the "resident yesterday. Both sides were pleased. Horace came lure anxious to find out tho truth of the many sinister rumors as to the Presi? dent's readiness to make trouble in the ranks of the Unionists, and he goes back a very well satisfied man. The President knows Mr. Greeley's influence, and gives full weight to his counsel." -A The Columbus (Geo.) Sun says: "We understand that a company of prominent gentlemen from this city intend leaving for Mexico at an early day. Among the most distinguished ' persons of the party is Judge Swan, lately of Tennessee, and an ex-mem? ber of the Confederate Congress. By additions from other places the num? ber will bo increased at New Orleans to at least twenty-six persons. This number alone will form ii respectable colony." Two of the rowdies who assaulted Vallandigham, ut Eaton, Ohio, a few weeks since, have beeii arrested for prior criminal acts. One was carried off to Indiana upon the i-equisition of Governor Morton.
