Tlit- onlv two satisfactory instances given by Mis. Kllis of 11 lumber whose son whs reallv gn-a), and a direct and traceable influence on that greatness, nro llio instances of ?he mother of St. Augiistinu and ilie mother of Napoleon. Not only was St. Augustine a very remarkable man and Monica a very remarkable womm, hut the son owed to the mother the direction of his thoughts, tho purpose of his life, and the sonne of liis greatest enjoyment. In those moments when St. Augustine was conscious t!mt lit) reached the l?ij?li<*?t pitch of spiritual exultation, he was also conscious that his mother srare.l ns high as he did. It would he an nl'iise of language to term Monica n great woman in the same wav we term St. Augustine a Great tnan. for ho added to the piety nnd sublime fcidins of his mother a r?-inaidegre.o of literarv power and a : crro'it rango of thought^ \Vu must also j11>I?? <- of hII greatness hv the tost of success; ] ruul St. Augustine is principally to he called | rjrf-nt lipfnu?o he, as a matter of fact, cave | m mneh of its peculiar color to Wi stern I uNiianitv. Hut lli* of his thoughts and feelings j liis ti>odi? of viewing tl?p relations hot ween . Iiitn?<-if. fiod ami the world had been dcriv- j d from hi* mother. Tn :i similar way we can ! race a clear afTinitv between the character j mil mental constitution of Napoleon anil j lio^oof his mother. There was thesluhwirnnc-s the fanif largenos? of thought, the iiimo meanness in certain aots of common if<', lite same resolute determination to >nforce tlie burden of their own personal iscemlancv on all around them. Tln're was in the mother a Corsican fitipsse ! ivhu'li degenerated into the enormous Ivmg >f the son ? the grandest liar, probably, that I ho wo i Id lias ever spen. Napoleon himself ittriliuted many of his notions of govern incnt to the family system in which lie had lipcn brought up: and the plan of helping. f>ulhing. and snubbing his brothers, accord ing to the fancies or the exigencies of the moment, was fonnjed on traditions that Intei! from his infancy. In fact, the whole ! inquiry as to (ho influence of mothers on ; sons, an conducted by Mrs. Ellis, is utterly j |>nr|)d?c*l<*ss. For what is the exact question I llial is to ho solved ? That mothers exorcise an influence over their sons is obvious; j % j [tut ilu*ro is no reason to suppose that the | ]iialili?;s which make a man peat are more , it-pendent 011 litis influence than any other ! >el of qualities. If Mrs. Ellis's book proves j mytlnng, it proves that there is no rule | ivhaltv. r on tin* * abject, and no lesson | wliHlcver to he loaru from it. I( does not | ioe<l an octavo volume to establish that a ; nan of extraordinary gifts is likely to [ etiiliT those gifts more profitahle to himself j md others if he has a very pious, wise. j itrid, loving, charming woman to guide i liim in infancy mid voiith. But no one can 1 ;ay that great men have,asn rule, had such j noil fortune. Greatness depends on qnali- j lie? that are entirely personal to the individjhI, which defy analysis, and cannot he i raced to any distinct source. They are | 1 If!

Having procured n bund of music ami formed a torchlight pmccesioh, they proceeded to the i residence of Capt Tliomaw B.

Being loudly called for, Gen. : McQueen appeared upou ilie verandah and | made a most happily conceived ami eloquent j speech. After a few graceful preliminary re? ' mink* liG l)roAcliL?<l llie pront nrduiiiont of Southern wrongs; allowed that tlio relative | strength anil ability' of the South lo protect j herself from unjust legislation in the Union | was declining; and that the element of oppoj sition to Southern institutions had grown into I a controlling majority at the North, that dei nied uk our clearest rights under the Const it uI lion. He was of the opinion that throughout I this whole controversy we had gained no ml* I vantatre or security ; hut that the condition of j thinirs nan now more threatening than ever before; 'hat it was entirely possible that a j Hlaek Republican would be elected next I'resi dent of the United States, upon the ground of his hostility t<>Southern rights and institution.-. With tliii possibility in view we should <lt? uiand the clearest recognition of our equality in the Union, and req'1'ie the strongest guarantees of the protection of our rights wherever they ar?i exposed to hazard, through either the neglect or the active opposition of the government or its agents. These demands of course would not. he complied with by a Black Republican President, and a triumphant Black Republican party. When refused, then it. would liecumo our solemn duly, to take the fitlmit:itstrnIiciu of our own affairs into our own hands, and not degrade ourselves by submission to :?n Authority that succeeds to power on the ground of its hostility to us. and driven by the fanatical impulse ihat elevated it to office, must regulate its policy with a view to the destruction of our cherished rights. Tne speaker dwelt, nt considerable length nnd eloquently upon the topicB of wl.ich we have given a most meagre outline. His sentiments were impies sed with additional weight from the high character nnd well known singleness of purpose of the speaker, lie was frequently interrupted by rounds of nppluuse, and at the conclusion <>f his speech was most heartily cheered. Tiie New Atlantic Tklegraimi.?Tho London Times says that the long pending question as to the probability of telegraphic communication being established between Europe and America seems in a fair wny of being set I leil. Tin* British Transatlantic Company pro | post*, within n year if possible, to lay their cable from the Land's End in Cornwall, to Blanc Sablon, un island in the Straits of Belle Isle, at one of the entrances of the fitilf of St. Lawrence, and a little to tlio North of Newfoundland. A fhort wire, to lie laid by n separate company, tukes the cahle in from Blanc Sablon to the island of Anticosti, where it mccU lines already open, communicating with Quebec, Montreal, and, indeed, all parts of Canada.? Another short line from Anticosti will be t>ubinc ge.l to Cape Breton, where it will join the ii?'l-vor? of lines which communicntcs with Halifax, NoxaS'otia, Boston, New York, tfce. liic in! van tunes whioli such u route prcsfi's ov?*r one starting from the West toast of Ireland nre oI:tiui<>-l to l?> immense. both in {mint of economy and freedom from the submarine dangers wtncli beset the track from Yali-ntia to Newfoundland.

Ikterventiox in Mexico.?The following paragraph from the New York llcaald is a condeni-e?i and conclusive statement of the objection* against the intervention of our Government in Mexican affairs. The recent treaty of Mr. McLane is absurd and Myectionable in every point of view: The question, therefore, resolves itself into j the proposition, shall we intervene in tlie doj mcstic affairs of Mexico. I?y giving lo it* gov ] ernment several millions of dollaio nnJ several thonennd men, to ennhlo it to put duwn a ralii-llii>u-i piicetliood an J ariny. This naturally divides itself in two: Ilavc wc the right to intervene? If we have Him right, is it right for u* to intervene? Every lugicnl mind will nay I we hav$ notthe rijjlit to intervene in the DoJ inestie affairs of Mexico. To do so, even fop I the purpose of establishing a pond government 1 would he destructive of iho independence of thai republic It would cafry with itthe right of intervention on the part of Englnnd. France Spain, and every other conntry-that might find interest in so doing. The true policy of every Mexican government is to avoid such an utter destruction of itself and of the nationality of Mexico, while the oolv one far our government to pursuo is to prevent all other governments from such intervention fur their own ^purposes. It can do this only by refraining ! itself from intervention."
