This gallant and distinguished gen-
tl-Tnen will return, in a fewr days, to th''
generous and devoted constituency from
whom, but a few weeks ago, he was so
: Tdoasiy and unnecessarily torn, and
■ 'oed to tbi city, merely to gratify
.vindice nnd hostility of political
I'he charge upon which the Fed-
d < :,v. ■• .) Mont insisted that the sover-

hands of the Government, of which
that sovereign State is one of the cron-
m'h, has been abandoned by the repre-
dalive of the federal authority. But

been brought to a trial. And now,
what is the position in which this result
"laces tiie FederaVGovemuentK There
\ e e about a dozen persons indicted for
i ig engaged in this Cuba expedition,
II of whom were ready for a trial.
Hie case of General Henderson lias
di . ady consumed two months; there is
no reason to suppose that the other
cases would not have taken as lung a
time, and thus the belter part of two
years would have been consumed in
the trial of the other parties besides
General Quitman. Suppose, however,
that these cases took up the rest of
the term—and of that there could bo
no doubt—it is certain that by placing
General Quitman last, hU term of office
as Governor of Mississippi would have
expired before his trial. Now, all that
tlie Governor asked was that the tiocess
against him should be waived, and
when the Government was ready to
proceed with his case, he gave his pledge
of honor that he would be on the spot
to meet tlie charge. His reason for
making this request was, that he did not
Ix'lieve it compatible with the sover
eignty of tlie State which he represent
ed, to be detained as a prisoner ofano-
ther authority. Right or wrong, these
were honest convictions, too, of a large
class of our people, and of some of the
most distinguished constitutional law
yers in the country. Such opinions
were entitled to some respect
It was evident that, in this view of
his duty, Governor Qnitman had but
two alternatives. The one was to re
sist the process of the Federal court
—the other to resign his post as Gov
ernor of Mississippi. Due notice was
given of the attitude assumed bv him
'I'he question then arises—did the na
ture of thecharge against General Quit-
iiinn, or of the prqofs in the possesion
of the officers of the Federal Govern
ment, justify the government in forc
ing him to one or the other of these al-
t •• natives! The result of the trials
_;ives a satisfactory negative to this
■ n-ry. But further, if the charge nnd
>ofa were more serious than they are,
. s not the well ascertained fact, that
other cases could not begot through

the States of tliis confederacy

i between foreign aud independent
ioni—it would have said; “We will

■M.or of Mississippi into open war

jiloitclies which are now thickly heap-

avecome. "flic government has been
ignominously foiled and defeated. Gen.
Quitman has not been forced into a
position of resistance to the Federal
uithority, so as to afford grounds for
an indictment for high treason, as was
expected. And as to the triumph in
bis resignation, It Is hut a barren one.

Ten gaming houses w ere entered, in
four of which no arrests were made.
We copy the following from the Cou
rier of Monday;
The prisoners, when colletcd, made
quite a caravan. They were manacled
in couples with hand cuffs welded (three
feet apart) to chains; nod thus m.-trah-
ed in “solemn pageant”—twentv^six
to a chain—to Leverett-st jail. It
would be impossible to gfiecify all the
1 modes iu which these unfortunate gen
tlemen were caught breaking the laws.
Some were shaking “props,” some
throwing dice, some dealing and shuf
fling cards, some at faro, some at pitch-
penny, &c., according to the taste of
the individuals.
Tlie Commonwealth says that the
js'rsuns arrested represent all classes
of society, from the business men of
•State-st. down to the meanest Ann st
gambler. They gave the. officers names
but typt their right ones. What is most
rascally, some of them used tlie names
of some of the most esteemed citizens of
Boston. One of the men, when about
Ixdi'.g put into the cell, started back,
declaring that he never slept iu such
a place in his life, and must be excused
from doing so. He was pressed into
drowning individual \va* drawing him
overboard, too. It was pull Devil, hull
Dick.
I’he man on the vh^f managed to
get firm hold with his olhci handof a
peice of timbur, and then to maintain
in one position tlie man in the water
who held on to him with the grip of a i
steel vice, until nsriotance came and the
Poor fellow was taken out of the liver.
Both men were immediately atten
ded to, and proper care takan to restore 1
them to their senses. The very first (

THE TOWS OF YOITII.
BY CLEOPHON.
The happy birds with warblings sweet
Herald the coming spring,
Reminding us of childhood's days.
When happy in our youthful plays,
With faces bright and anxious gaze,
Our companions we would meet;
And each a little tribute bring,
A tribute as an offering
To friendship and to truth.
Those dat» of which we love to think,
Those happy days have gone
The vows of friendship sworn there.
Are gone n’eer to return again,
And as our onward way we wend,
In time we see them sink,
Oh! w^juld that we had never known
Those happy moments which have
flown
Have vanished w ith our youth.
Would that the happiness of youth,
Could enter into age;
And vows of love so fondly made,
’Ere cares against us were arrayed,
Would continue with us through
shade
Of years, with binding truth:
Then in life’s book on every page,
This motto would our thoughts engage,
“ Eternal is ovr lore
Then happiness would know no sting,
No withering strokes receive,
