His Honor, Judge Melton, was found to baehgCgedwbeD promoted to the Bench, rendered the Special Court absolutely necessary, and. your labors during the term have been arduous, indeed; for the period of nearly three weeks, constantly and severely pressing upon, and tusking alike your bodily und mental powers. We rejoice, nevertheless, to perceive,that theresources of both have been abundant to respond to your high and anxious-duties," and that with the blessings of God your physical and intellectual vigor remains quite equal, if need were,'.' to more extended toils. ... .

Be Intimated having incurred that member's enmity by his efforts several years ago to compel a restitution of ails ver pinto and Other property, belp^ioa to a loyal man, wbioh Butler had seized at New Orleans. - The other day* when addressing the 8eimte, he noticed Batlex occupying the teat immediately fcd* joining his own, and regarded both the proximity'and manner of that gentleman as'offensive. After resuming his eat Butler' continued an earnest and excited look at* bin, whereupon be (Davis) faced him, and after looking him in the eye for an instant, said to him: "Yon damned old"scoundrel, are yon here to scowl at ami brow-beal , [Laughter on the Republican Bide.] He made no reply, and I repeated thft language.

I The Telfgraph might have been more judicious in its selection of a subject upon which to perpetrate a hoax. A Commoit Mistake.?It is a great mistake to suppose that little can be accomplished if a man has reached the age of thirty or forty'years. Nine** tenths of our clever men have actually mnn tricmr intellect at fifty Wlll/lkvv UIV?V V years of age, than .at forty. Pranklin was forty before he began, in real earnest, the study of natural philosophy. The principal of one of the most flourishing colleges in America, was a farm servant until he was past the age when most students have completed their coN legiate education. Sir Henry Spelman did not begin the study of science until he was between fifty and sixty years of age. Greek was the first foreign language which Cato, the celebrated Bo* man consor, acquired, and he did bo in his old age. Alfieri, whose writings have caused a revolution in the dramatio literature of Italy, was left without a father in his infancy, and wasted his early years. John Otrilby, the author of poetical translations from Virgil and Homer, began ihe study of Latin when about forty years of age, and Greek, in his forty-fourth. Boccaccio, one of the most illustrious writers thai ever ,ap peared in Italy, sulfered nearly nau ?n his life to pass without improvement. Handel was forty-eight before he published any of his great works. Dr. T. Arnold, of Rugby, learned German at forty, in order that he might read Niebuhr in tho original. Hurraii for Democracy--?At the races which occured at Sumtfer on last Saturday the Democratic iotse, belonging to Mr. IL "G. EUerbe, won tho victory' over the Radical animal, owaed by Mr. Fcrriter.
