following sketches of the gentleman named,

were amongst the first settlers in
that part of (he country,and his father bore
a commission in the revolutionary army,
and was present at the battles of Bunker
Ilill, Saratoga, Princeton, TFfcnton, Monmouth
atid Germantown. Ho was afterwards
a Major in Wayne's army, and died
near Zimcsville, Ohio, in 1830. fyis son,
Lewis Cass, was educated at the academy
of Exeter, and studied law at Marietta, Ohio,
under the lato Governor Meigs. He was admitted
to the bar in 180'J, and iu 1800,
more than fifty years as*o. was elected a
member of the Ohio Legislature. In ISli

risou, an?l crossing Lake Erie with him after
Perry's victorv, was present in tho persuit
of 1'rooter, and participated in the triumphs
of the Moravian towns. The Northwestern
campaign being happily terminated,
(jeii. Cass was lift in command of Michigan
.nul tho upper provinces of Canada.
1 Lis headquarters wore at Detroit, 4pd he
thus became tho military guardian of a people
over whom he was soon after (October
0. ISIS.) o.?i<cd to preside as civil Govcruor.
In IS 15, after the termination of the
war. General Cass moved bis family to Detroit.
During the time that be was governor of
the Territory of Michigan, he negotiated no
less than twenty-one treaties with the Indians.
In the expeditions necessitated by
them be encountered more peril and bad
occasion for the display of more firmness
and intrepidity than any man ever engaged in
this service. In 1831, Gen. Cass was called
to the administration of the War Departmentby
Gen. Jackson. In 1835 or 1836, in con-,
sequence of ill-health, he' retired from this
position, much to the regret of Gen. Jackson,
who tendered him the mission to France,

the quintuple treaty, through which England
desired to search the vessels of all nations
traversing the ocean. In 1845, after
liis return from France, he was elected to
the United States Senate from Michigan,
and in 1848 nominated for the presidency,
but defeated. He was one .of the-'leading
friends of the compromise of 1850^ and subsequently
ably supported the Kansas-Nebraska
measure. On the 4th inst. his term expired
in the United States Senate; and ho
was succeeded by a republican. Although
seventy years of age, Gen Cass is apparently
younger than" most men at sixty, and

State Department will fully sustain Lis high
previous reputation. .
Secretary of the Treasury?Hon. Howell
Cobb, of Georr/ia.?The Secretary of
the Treasury was born at Cherry-Hill, Georgia*,'in
1815. Ho is the son of Col John A.
Cobb, who, when .quite a hoy, removed
from Greenville, North Carolina, with his
father. Ilis mother, Sarah R. Cobb, was
the daughter of the late'Thomas Roots, of
Fredericksburg, Virginia. In the year 1834,
wuen only nineteen, Mr. Cobb graduated at
; Franklin College, Georgia, and in tho following
year be married Mary Anu, daughter
of the late Col. Zachariah Lamar, of
Milledgeville, Georgia, by whom he has had
six sons, thiee of whom are dead, the two
youngest dying at Washington city''during
the first session of the thirtieth Congress. It
may not. be uninteresting to mention'that his
uncle, Howell -Cobb, after whom he was
named, represented a district.Qf Georgia in
tho-Congress of the United Slates during
the last war with Great Britain, and his
cousin, Thomas Cobb, was not many years
since a United States Senator from the
same^State. In 1836 Mr. Cobb was admitted
to the-bar, and at once gave such evi.1

I graduated at Chapel Ilill, in 1814, in tho j roc

Gov. Manly, of that State. ^
He sat in theTennesseeo Legislature until
1839, when ho was elected to Congress
ami held that position until 1845, when ho*. This
declined a re-election, and ran a successful Bern
race for Governor against E. IJ. Foster, a
man of great popularity. Since 1847, Gov.
j brown has held no public office, but was
i a Presidential Elector in 1848 nnd 1852.
lie was also chairman of the committee on
resolutions in Baltimore Convention of
1852, and lie had the honor to report the
platform then and thcro adopted. lie is Sha[
a tiuo stump orator, nnd a State Rights Froo
man of the strict constructionist school. In
character, he is snid to resemble Mr. Mason,
who was Secretary of the Navy nnder Mr. Wlie
Polk. lie combines suavity of manner with Wjle
unblemished character, great industry nnd
talent. JJunng the last campaign ho labored
very zealously for the success of tho
Democratic nominees. It was to Gov. My I
Brown, when a member of Congress, somo Roll
twelve or thirteen years ago, that Gen.
Jackson addressed his celebrated letter in
favor of the annexation of Texas. Gov. j fcp
Brown is in his 62d year, but owing to his
active and temperate babits, is generally
taken to the ten years younger.
Attorney General?Jeremiah S. Black, A
of Pennsylvania.?The Attorney General- er, v
ship has fallen into able bauds Judge Black hemis
considered to be among one of the most js a
accomplished and able jurists in Pennsyl- a fi
vnnia. He ^as formerly one of the Dis- (wh
irict Judges "of that State, but on the 'law grc;i
requiring all judges to be elected by the ure i
people going into effect, he was chosen one mmmm
of the Stale Supreme Court Judges. He is
in the prime of life, not over 45 years of
age, and universally esteemed for the purity
of his public and private character. E
Music in Schools.?At the recent rTf.
meetings of the Board of Education of
New York city, William Cnllen Bryant, of
the New York Evening Posts, made a HP1
speech upon the subject of "Music in
Schools," from which we made the follow- t|ie .
ing extract: " line
In making musio a branch of common JfaP1
education, we give a new attraction to aui ^'<r
common schools. Music is not merely a ^' 1
study, it is an entertainment; wherever er!|?
there is music there is a crowd of listeners, ho In
We complain that our common schools are j0^1
not attended as'thev should io
to be done ? Shall we compell the attend- coin'
ance of children ? Ratliej^let us, if we can, ernt<
so order things that children shall attend ducc
voluntarily?shall be eager to crowd to the 11
schools, and for this purpose nothing can be
more effectual, it seems to me, than the art or ^
^0 which the ancients ascribed such power mint

It should ;jbe considered, moreover, I hat Kerr
music in schools is useful as an fn'cffrtivfe to
study. After a weary^bour of poring over *
book*, with perhaps some discouragement little
on the part of ihe learner, if not despair a^ some
the hardness of his task,Ji song puts him voun
into a moro cheerful tfWjjt- '.hopeful mode ;
the play of the lungs freshens tfte circulation rtjee
of the bloo&; and he sits down again to a
his task in better spiHts and with, an in^Sg- who
orated inind. Almost all occupations are ?D?'
cheered and lightened by music. I remein
