I imagine the figure is placed there on pnrpose to delude the visitor, and to excito his wonder before entering the balk One of tbe fleet figures that I recognised within the Oreat Room,.was Or. Benjamin Franklin, whose faco greeted mo with a pleasant sinile, but his lips were unable to utter a word of welcome, or oven t# pronounce a single "Poor Richard" maxim. Not far from the distinguished philosopher, but on tbo other side of tbo door, stood Gen. George Washington, whose face wore the same pleasant and benign expression which is Inseparably Jrom the rudest likeness that I ha7e ver seyn of the great " Father of his Country." Why these two ypropatriots were placed so near, tbo door I eonld not surmise, unless, perhaps, they await the coming of tbe Goddcs* of Liberty, who, having fled from America, mnif be searching to And her Republican sponsn.-s. The 'GVeot Room was brilliantly lighted^ and th? tie eiftuhlx very striking, the perspective being much increased by large mirrors. Tbe spectator's enjoyment is further enhanced by delightful music, rendered by a stringed band, with an organ accompaniments Platforms, covered with red cloth, raised about two feet abovo the floor, snstain, tbe numerous alWbut-speaking effigies. Each figure is conspicuously numbered, and a reference to the Cataloguo affords ono all necessary descriptive information. Thore are but a few Americans in this large collection, the only ones I saw being President Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, President Johnson, Generate McClellun and Grant, WinP? nn, besides Washington and Franklin, already mentioned, and, lust and least, Clmrlcs 8. Strntton, better known as General Tom Tbupio ! This*!-wax specimen of diminutive humanity is phieird jn the " Napoleon Room," perhaps for the reason that the Emperor Napoleon was his favorite iupersonation. In 'i ussaud's whole establishment, there arc three hundred and eight life-sir.o wax figures, besides five heads, in the " Room of llorrors," which were modelled from copies t.?kcil immediately after ovrrtilinn Tlo vie tiuis whoso heads arc here AO doatbfully portrayed, were.Jean Baptiste Carvicr, a most infnmons French republican, who was guillotined In 1794, for many onormoua crimes perpetrated in the name of Patriotism. Tho others are Marie Antionctte, Louis XVI, Robespierre, Jotaey Rene llobcrt nml Fouquiur Tinvllle. These ghastly heads are so horribly natural ns to beget only a shudder of disgust. The Chamber of Horrors, ns its name indicates, contains only such bloody subjects as the dreadful annals of crime have always so ahunJantly afforded. Murderers and their ftctim* are here depicted with most frightful accuracy. Joan Paul Marat and the heroic Charlotto Corday, standing over her fiendish victim; Ravaillac, who, excited by fanatical ferocity, mortally stabbed Henry IV., whilo on bis couch, and surrounded by bis guards. (For this offence of scmi-lnsanily, tho poor wrctoh was most shamefully tortured to death. His right hand was consumed in a cauldron of boiling.brimstone, his flesh pulled from hit bones with red-hot pincers, boiling oil poured on his wounds ; and, Anally, lie was torn asunder by horses, hitched to his arms and legs!) In tho Horror Room I saw the identical knife and lunette which cut off the hegds nf Marie Antoinette, Louis XVI, and twenty two thousand other persons, during the bloody Resolution of France. This extraordinary relic was bought by Messrs. Tussaud from M- Sounatn, grandson of tho original executioner, now residing in Paris. Its identity is so well attested that no doubt can exist of its authenticity, Put, enough of these Horrors. All the S3 sovereigns of England, ?nd heir consorts, are represented in the Great Room, beginning with William the conqueror, and ending with the goad Queen Victoria.

Congress and the Proaident. TheSouth seetns destined to suffer more and more at the hands of Congress, according to j tlie efforts made by lite President to protect j them from abuse. We are remind'd of tiie scene in Do* Qi-txotr. where the gallant I 1 knight found some fellow trouncing a boy most unmercifully. The chivalrous D< sr, | ' according to hi* principles of succoring lite j weak and oppressed, charged upon the per petrator of the outrage, and rescued tlie boy from the fnriona blows of his tormentor I and lectured the latter gravely and sol] j einnly upon his wrong doing and savage j conduct, and went his way thinking lie had < done a famous good deed. No sooner had j the knight got out of sight and hearing,! than the fellow renewed hi* attack upon ^ the poor helpless boy, and inflicted a heavy j additional punishment, by way of resenting > the interference of his mailed protector, I whose prowe's and honor he could not ins- | J Thus. as often as the President interposes, to prevent unconstitutional and illegal oppression of lli? Southern Stales, by an ex ertion of hia rightful power in their behalf, I to rescue litem Irom the blows and tortures j of this and that military man. Congress te 'turns to its system of aggression, with ag gravated ferocty, and inflicts new ami additional enormities upon her people, t<> resent upon their helplessness the generous attempt. The South is mr.de to suTer, because Congress cannot wreak its vmgeanee ou the President. We are tl<e victims of others' quarrels. By reference to our Congressional head, it will be perceived that that new Bills, wh ieh contain udditional assaults upon the Southern Stales, are the frnlla of the removal of General I'Ora and other tormentors.
