PAGE'S Venus ?the picture of the nndrapedGoddess which has excited so much attention andcontroversy elsewhere?is now in this city, on ex-hibition at CARISS'. In Paris, it was excludedfrom the Exposition, on grounds of publicmorality.In Boston, the staid city of the Puritans, it wasexhibited upon the walls of the Athenaeum. InNew York, The Herald abused it as indecent, andeverybody, consequently, went to see it. We haveno idea of imitating the example of The Herald,with a view to the like result, but at the same timethink itbut common fairress to advertise our readersin advance?those of them who may be inclined toattend the exhibition?of what they must expect tosee.

The Goddess is represented perfectly nude andfacing the spectator, standing erect in a shell,which the London Athenaeum describes as "small"as acoracle in a dream," and the London Builderspeaks of as "enormous," and which is drawnby two doves upon a tranquil sea. Additionalmotive-power is supplied by two wingless Cupids,who are apparently steering as well as pushing theshell. The figure of the Goddess is life-size, occu-pying the centre and almost the entire depth of thecanvass from top to bottom. The sea and sky con-stitute what, at the risk of a bull, we willcall the back-ground. The Trojan galleys, whichthe Goddess is supposed to be guiding towardsthe Italian shore, are seen iu the distance. Theshell is gently rocking upon the surface of thewater, and the Goddess, despite her divine char-acter, is evidently not exempt, any more than washer luckless husband, from the influence of thelaws of gravitation. With one hand raised, andone foot just touching the shell, site is endeavor-ing to preserve her balance, and keep herself fromfalling into the sea. This gives to her attitudesomewhat the constrained air of a dancer steppingupon a tiglit-rope. Tlfc type of beauty selectedby the artist, as best suited to bis subject, is thatwhich the old Greeks most admired, and whichTITIANand the Venetians excelled in painting?asunny, golden-haired, atnber sort of beauty, fullof light and warmth. The coloring, indeed, isthe most remarkable thing in the picture?partic-ularly the ripe, warm, carnation-tints, toned downand subdued to the whiteness of flesh, by contrastwith the bit of red ribbon by which the doves areharnessed to the shell, and the black armlet whichencircles the left wrist of the Goddess, and which,albeit more scanty than the costume of a GeorgiaMajor, constitutes her entire clothing.

So much, then, for the picture, which, consid-ered simply as a work of art, is exceedinglyfine. A few words more with reference tothe point of public morals involved?-which the reader who is not preparedto admit that Art can be indecent, and the readerwhose squeamishness revolts from a discussion ofthe question in print, are equally at liberty toskip. Nakedness is not indecency, necessarily orperse. The modest woman who bares herself toundergo a painful surgical operation?it may be,itt a public hospital, and before many witnesses?-neither suffers nor is guilty of an indelicacy. Butfor the indiscretion of our First Parents, we aretold, even the primitive fig-leaf would never havebeen called into requisition, and the craft of thetailor and the mantna-maker never existed. Inall ages, habit and education, rather than any in-flexible rule of morality, have regulated these mat-ters, and determined the bounds between thatwhich is proper and permissible, and that which isnot. The old Greeks and Romans used to sur-

round themselves iu their houses and gardens, inthe public baths and on the public ways, withstatues and emblems which now-a-days would beuniversally considered grossly indecent. The Ro-man ladies wore ornaments which no virtuoso whohas them in his cabinet would show to any respect-able woman of his acquaintance. Yet we do notbelieve that the daughters of the METELLI and theGRACCHI were particularly immodest, any morethan wo will admit that our great-grandmothers,who used to talk in mixed company upon sub-jects which are now tabooed in all deeent soci-ety, were less virtuous than their descendantsof our own generation. In Tartary, at thisday, so M Hue tells us, the women think itimmodest only to allow their faces to be seen, andconceal them at the risk of any other exposure.?We may assume, therefore, that mere nudity,whether in nature or in art, is not necessarily in-decent, and that ifPAGE ?who is a Bostonian, webelieve?had lived and painted in Athens in Greece,instead of the Athens of America, young men andmaidens might have flocked with propriety to seehis Venus , as the Coan ladies did to see APELLES'portrait ot'CAMPASPE, when itwas first placed inthe temple of ESCULAPIOS, or exhibited at the Acad-emy of Fine Arts, in the three hundredth year be-fore CHRIST

LECTURE OF DR. WINSHIP; -THE STRONGMAN OF BOSTON.

On Thursday night, Dr. Winship, of Boston, de-livered a lecture at Carroll Hall, before the mem-bers of the Baltimore Gymnasium, upon PhysicalCulture. A large and fashionable audience greetedthe lecturer, who was introduced by Charles Mar.shall, Esq., one of the committee. Dr. Winship is25 years of age, weighs about 148 pounds, and is 5feet 7 inches in height. His appearance before theaudience did not denote that he was possessed ofSU£u P^' sical powers as he afterwards exhibited.

Ihe Doctor commenced by saying that, duringthe last half century, in this country, considerableattention had been given to physical culture, butalthough much had not been left unsaid upon thesubject, much had been left undone. He referredto the little attention paid in all communities tothe physical training among all classes, young andold. Our youths were too much confined," inschoolsand colleges, and little attention was paid ti thedevelopment of the physical man. Our profession-al men and merchants almost entirely neglect-ed it, ant hence the number of prematuredeaths, and what sometimes the newspapers chroni-cled as "mysterious dispensations of Providence."The Doctor considered it a greater mystery why somany lived so long, with such habits of li'fe. Oneof the great causes of disease, was the Want of prop-er ventilation. Ifwe would have pure blood, womust have pure air. When we take into consider-ation the fact, that, during twenty-four hours,about twenty-four hogsheads of air are taken intothe lungs, it becomes evident that the atmospherewe breathe should not be vitiated. The lecturerconsidered that many cases of insanity, and cases ofsuicide, resulted from a want of proper physicalculture and education.

As to bodily training, it could begin never tooearly and never too late. A man of three scoreyears, commencing a proper course of physical cul-ture, might regain his health if impaired, and pro-long his days. Dr. Warren mentions the case of aman of weakened constitution who commenced thepractice of gymnastics at the age of 74 years, wholived until 84, and then died in an easy" and tran-quil manner.

The lecturer said that he had commenced gym-nastic exercises at the age of 17. At that time hewas strong for his size, but not strong for his age;ever since that time he had devoted a part of theday to bodily training.

Digressing somewhat, the lecturer said that thescience and practice of gymnastics was first intro-duced into this country from Germany. The firstgymnasium in the country was established in Bos-ton. The word gymnasium was derived from theGreek word gymnos, signifying naked, because theathlete of Greece always exercised devoid of cloth-ing. In Athens and Home there were also placeswhere gymnastic exercises wero carried on. Many-objections had been made to gymnastic schools, be-cause in, some instances, serious accidents had oc-curred among those who were exercising andattempting certain feats. These, however, alwayscould be traced to indiscretion on the part ofthoseinjured, and should not deter any one from com-mencing and continuing a system of bodilv train-ing.

f THE STRONG>N.

The Doctor said he had devoted much of his at-tention to a branch of gymnastic exercises notmuch practised in gymnasiums, that of lifting.?He considered it one of the best exercises, bring-ing all the muscles of tfie body into play almost at the same time. In August, 1855,being then a gymnast, he commenced by liftingfourand five hundred pounds; three months afterwardshe lifted seven hundred pounds, and continued toincrease the weight, until, on the 12th of May last,he lifted in Music Hall, Boston, 929 lbs. since thenlie bad advanced, and in Mercantile Ilall, Boston,lilted 1032 lbs. About four days previous, he hadlifted 1092 lbs., but not before an audience, tiesup posed he could lift at times 1100 lbs., butwas pretty sure be could always lift 1032 lbs.

At this stage of the lecture the Doctor said thatthe atmosphere of the room was so confined andclose, that he felt like dropping to the floor, andasked the audience permission to retire, and alsoto have the windows lowered, for better ventila-tion. This was done, and in a few minutes theDoctor again proceeded.

He said that, in the liftiog exercises, and the dif-ferent weights said to have been lifted by variouspersons, we should discrimnate between liltingandsustaining. A person bv proper accoutrementscould sustain a much greater weight than he couldlift. Sir David Brewster says that a person of notextraordinary strength could sustain between fourand five thousand pounds from the lower extremi-ties of the body. The lecturer thought that bv ar-ranging certain straps to his shoulders, he wouldbe able to lift 2000 poundsj he was going to try it.In referring to the feats of others, the Doctor saidthat Topham, an English athlete, 5 feet 10 incheshigh, weighing 200 pounds, had lifted about 800lbs.; and that Behin, the Belgian giant, 7 foot 6inches high, weighing 300 pounds, had lifted a lit-tle over that. The lecturer was 5 feet 7 incheshigh, and weighed 148 pounds. From this fact menof moderate weight might take courage. The Doc-tor next referred to the usual exhibitions ofstrength before audiences, and said that in manyinstances much deception was practiced bv havinghollow weights and rotten ropes. In lifting-exer-cises a person need not exceed 500 lbs. with thehands, and 1,000 lbs. with straps. One of the bestmodes of exercising is with the dumb bells. Tbev de-mand pure strength. The lecturer, in his training,uses two bells of 50 lbs. each, two of 100 lbs., andhas one weighing 170 lbs. He intends to get a" eight ot 215 lbs., and expects to raise it in onehand over his head in six months. This will boequal to the weight of a barrel of flour. Havingexercised with the bells before mentioned, so long,the lecturer prefers now to handle a barrel of flourto almost anything he could lay his hands on. Inreferring to the time necessary to devote eacli dayto proper physical culture, the lecturer said thathe rarely ever exceeded an hour at a lime, andduring the last year not over fifteen minutes.?As a person grows stronger the time ofexercise should be reduced. One should neverpractice to exhaustion, and care should betaken that one muscle should not be worked morethan another. As to diet, always take healthyfood, and have no fear of dyspepsia; the digestivepowers increase with the muscular.

The lecturer here again stopped, and said that liedid not feel like going on with the lecture, the at-mosphere of the room was too close; he asked theaudience to permit him to retire lor a few minutes,and then he would give bis exhibition of stren<*th-in the meantime the Hall could be ventilated.

"

Here followed a general letting down of window-sashes, and in a few minutes the Doctor again ap-peared, in his shirt-sleeves, and without collar orcravat. Upon the platform had been erected astaging about 10 feet high, through the floor ofwhich a rope was hung, sustaining nine kegs ofnails, each weighing 100 pounds. To the end ofthe rope, a hook was attached, through which theDoctor placed a short stick Then straddling thestick and grasping an end with each hand,he lifted the weight, (900 pounds) three sev-eral times. The Doctor then attached a strapto a ladder laid horizontally, and raised himselfto his chin, and sustained himself in that, positonby the little finger of either hand. He thenraised bis own weight seven times with the rin-hthand, and three times with the left. The Doctorthen remarked that he would lift a barrel of flourwhich weighed 215 lbs., and put it upon his shoul-der. 1 his was equal to raising a canon of 1,000lbs. weight. The first attempt made to shoulderthe barrel failed. The Doctor got it up as hiwh ashis chest and then let it down. He said this wasthe first time he had ever failed in performing thefeat, [A voice?"Don't give it up."] The Doctorsaid he never gave a thing up when he undertookto do it. He then retired for a few moment'; whenhe returned he raised the barrel and put it uponbis shoulder, then replaced it on the platform asgently as if it bad been made of glass. For thisfeat he was much applauded.

The lecturer then said that he would be pleasedto answer any questions from the audience, and inreply to such, stated that he usually exercised be-tween 12 and 1 o'elock of the day, and that be usu-ally slept from S to 10 hours of the twenty-four.

After the exhibition, many of the audience ap-proached the Doctor for the purpose of examiningbis points. We have hardly ever seen a bettermuscular development than can be shown by Dr.Winship. The audience appeared highly pleasedwith the lecture and exhibition.

It may be PAGE'S misfortune, perhaps?his fate,at all events?not to have been bom in the reign ofALEXANDER. Living in the nineteenth century, itis his duty to conform to modern ideas upon thesubject of what is decent and proper in Art. Triedby the standard they afford, his picture has beenpronounced, by many persons, immodest; nnd weare inclined to accept the censure as correct. Wedo not deny that this refinement of modern taste?for such we esteem it, rather than any proof ofsuperior virtue -is often exaggerated, even to theextreme ofpr-.dery. When it takes that form, aswhen it excepts to POWER'S Greek Slave, or PAL-MER'S While Captive, we have no svmpathv withit. We think the squeamishness of the good peo-ple in Hollins street, who found fault with thenude figures in Mr. WINANS' garden, and of theManagers of the Maryland Institute, who drapedBARBER'S Coquette in pink tulle, to have beenquite as ridiculous as that of the old maidwho cased the legs of her piano-forte in pan-talettes, or of the gallant Commodore who,when entertaining a party of ladies, atthe navy?yard at which he commanded,spread sail-cloth over the timbers in the yard, thathis visitors might not be shocked by the sight ofbare ships' knees. The instances to which we refer,however, were extreme cases, and do not provemodern morality to be wrong?but only to havebeen misapplied. According to the standard of ex-isting ideas on the subject, we have no hesitation insaying that PAGE'S picture is not a proper one tobe viewed by mixed assemblages of both sexes,?particularly the young. If a troupe of model-artists were to announce for exhibition at thetheatre a series of tableaux wants, one of whichshould be a representation of VENUS balancing her-self in a shell, and piloting the galley of JENEAS tothe Latian shore, we presume there would be noquestion about the indecency of the spectacle.Does the indecency become less when the exhibi-tion is a painting, which does not pretend to beanything else than the presentation of the samesubject 011 canvas? The Directors of the French Ex-position were therefore right in excluding PAGE'Spicture from a place in an exhibition where peoplewould have been forced either to see it or to stayaway. Here, in Baltimore, it is true, it is present-ed to the public under different auspices. No oneis bound to see it, who does not choose to go forthe purpose. We do not, therefore, quarrel withthe mere exhibition of the picture, anv more thanwe should object to the delivery of a course of lec-tures on Anatomy, illustrated by models. Theartistic value of the one may not be less than thescientific value of the other?but neither is de-signed for everybody or for mixed assemblages.

WASHINGTON NEWS.The Union says:?We are authorized to statethat the proper mode of rating music with postage

is by the piece, without regard to the number ofsheets in a piece: one cent for each piece, not ex-cel ding three ounces in weight. When a piece ex-ceeds three ounces in weight one cent should becharged for the first three ounces, and one cent ad-ditional for each additional ounce or fraction of anounce. On the same principle packs of playing-cards are rated by the pack, and not bv the singlecard. "

Despatches have been received at the Depart-ment ot State from our Minister in New Grenada.The pending questions between the two o-overn-ments are approximating to a speedy and Tatistac-torv adjustment. The present government will useits best endeavors to urge upon the attention ofCongress, which is shortly to assemble at Bogota,an early ratification of the Cass-Herran treaty, andthe opinion is that it will be speedilv ratified.

George Pomeroy has arrived here from Kansas.He is the prominent candidate for the United StatesSenate, with Mr. Parrot, the present delegate fromthat Territory, from the Northern half of Kansas,and Governor Stanton and General Lane are theprincipal candidates in Southern Kansas.Diplomatic advices here give a materially differ-ent version of the Morocco war from the "Spanishaccounts. The Moors had proved a much moreformidable enemy than was anticipated, and dis-eases, which entered the Spanish camp, had seri-ously impaired the efficiency of the troops.

The Mexican treaty willnot be reported from theCommittee on Foreign Affairs for some days, as thecommittee have called for all the correspondencewith Mexico, which will be ordered to be printed.

It is said that Henry Winter Davis will assail theresolutions of the Maryland Legislature, when theyare presented to Congress.

The following is an officialstatement of the ag-gregate trade of the country withforeign nations forthe last year: Great Britain?lmports, one hundredand twenty-five millions; exports, one hundred andseventy-five millions. France?lmports, forty-onemillions; exports, forty-four millions. East andWest Indies, Brazil, China, Venezuela?lmportsninety-five millions; exports, thirty-five millions.Other countries?lmports, seventy-six millions; ex-ports, one hundred and two millions. From this itwillbe seen that the balance of trade is heaviestagainst and with nations that do not compete withour industry.

LATER FROM SOUTH AMERICA.By the arrival of the bark John C. Brune at 'hisport from Montevideo, the Exchange ReadingRooms are in receipt of advices to the 24th of No-vember. They confirm the advices previously re-ceived via the Pacific, of the consummation of peace

'^ut*nos Ayres and the Confederacy.Ihe Luenos Ayres papers are full of rejoicino atthe glad news of peace. The joy of the people was

universal.The British merchants and residents of BuenosAyres, through a committee, had addressed con-gratulatory letters to the President of the Repub-

lic, and also to General Urquiza. General Lopezwas also the recipient of the public gratitude atBuenos Ayres.

For the better regulation of the country districtsthe Government had abolished the Prefectures andCommissaries, which never had any apparent endthan the increase of patronage at the disposal ofthe Government, returning tor the present to theold system of Inices de Paz. It is understood thatmost of the appointments marie by General Ur-quiza on his way down will be recognized and con-firmed.

Tim Government had received warning of nthreatened invasion of Indians.

The frequent convulsions have left 'he countryin a state of effervescence, and some Hlarm was cre-ated by the several petty chieftains, but nothingserious had occurred.

STATE UNIVERSITY.?A movement is now beingmade in Texas, with every prospect of success, toestablish a State University on the most liberalscale.

GEOLOGICAL MAP OP MARYLAND.?PhiIip T. TysoD,Esq., our State Agricultural Chemist, has laid onour table the geological illustrations accompanyingliis first report, which is now passing through thepress. This, wc understand, is the first attempt to dofor Maryland what has been so ably performed forPennsylvania and other States, by distinguishedgeologists employed for that purpose. This ap-pears with Mr. Tyson to hare been purely, a laborof love, the duties of his station, strictly, not re-quiring any such task at his hands. Havingdevoted a large part of his life to such investiga-tions, Mr. Tyson only avails himself of his officialposition to present to his native State the materialswhich he has been so long accumulating. We donot understand that such accuracy is claimed for

this map as is to be attained by a regular and

comprehensive survey only; still it is correct in itsgeneral features, and conveys the only idea ap-proaching perfection, of the geological characterof our State. These "illustrations" afford hand-some evidence of the progress of the art of litho-graphing in colors in our city. They are from theestablishment of A . Hoen &\u25a0 Co.

TIIE LAWRENCE CALAMITY. |The Coroner's Inquest?Sympathy for the !

Sufferers.

The Boston Herald of Thursday says :The coroner's inquest commenced this morning.Mr. Hew, the treasurer of the mills, testified as

follows :In the safe there was a pay-roll, ending in Sep-

tember, which will probably give some idea of thenames of the persons employed at that time, butnothing accurate of those employed at the time ofthe disaster; 1 have never heard of the foundationof the mill settling, nor did 1 experience asmuch of the jostling in this mill as in someothers; 1 did not hear any noise previous to thatwhich I thought resembled a tire; I did not lockup the books lying about, as I did not apprehendlire.

Jesse Glover, overseer df the repair shop of theI'emberton Manufacturing Company, testified thathe had, at times, seen cracks in the walls of thebuilding, but nothing that he considered as serious.He had never strengthened the walls with ironwork: he had heard that it had been so strength-ened; bethought the building was weak, but ap-prehended no trouble; did not think it was sostrong as such buildings usually are; had heardthat the timbers were not bolted to the walls; irontrusses were put into the building before he wentto work there; the boiler appeared perfectly sound;it was in a separate building; have examined thebuilding since the accident.

Mr. Chase, agent of the mill,'testified as to hisescape. Ho said there was less weight at the endwhich fell than the other; four ply-frames in thefourth story were moved on that day from the partwhich fell to another place; they weighed a tonand a half; there were probably eight hundred per-sons in the building; he did not know how the firecaught; the Essex Company built the mill; he didnot know how itwas constructed; there wore crackson each side of the chimney in the building, causedby the swaying of the chimney; the chimney hadbroken away from the building, iron had' beenplaced around it to strengthen it, but not from anyfear of the buildingitself: there have been no newcracks near the chimney for two years; knew of noother cracks in the building; there was less motionin the building than in others, and he had consid-ered it safe, especially as it had stood for six years.

John Pattersoon, overseer in the weaving-room,testified as to his escape; he had heard statementsthat the building was unsafe, but never noticedanything about the building to make him thinkso; Mr. Corliss, who putin the shafting, had tolaMr. Winn, an overseer, that he did not considerthe building safe; he also understood that lie saidthat two upright shafts would, in time, shake theend ol the building out; don't think over fortypersons employed in his room were killed; therewere 304 persons employed there on last Monday.

John Pindar, a woollen manufacturer in tlieWashington .Mill, testified that he, with others, hadhelped what they could. We got the roof oft, andtook out the machinery, wood and bodies; therewere some men near me with lanterns, and, as theywere not doing any good, be said, "For God's saketake care of those lanterns ! There is cotton allaround here." Saw four men going into a holewith two lanterns; and shortly afterwards sawthem come out with only one lantern. A momentafter be saw the flames. The men ran into thecrowd, and be after them, but he could not catchthem. The lanterns were guarded ones, and hethinks they were filled with oil. The fire tookfrom the loose cotton hanging about the carding-machine.

Kicbard 11. Plummer testified that various menwent to work to clear away with axes and bars,and two men held lanterns to throw light on thework. By some accident one of the lanterns brokeor fell, and when the flames struck the cotton, thetire at once sprung up.

The inquest here adjourned, it is expected to lastseveral days.

THE DEAD.Mayor Saunders, of Lawrence, sends a despatch,

saying he sees no reason to change his opinion asto the number of the dead and missing.

Many of the dead have been claimed by theirfriends; but many are so far past identification thatit is found absolutely necessary to have them in-terred.

Airangements will soon be made for a publicfuneral of the dead.

EXECUTION OK PATRICK MAUDE. ?in obedience toan inexorable law Patrick Maude forfeited his lifeThursday on the gallows, between the hours of 11and 12 o'clock, in the county jail, in the city ofNewark, New Jersey. Maude was convicted of themurder of his sister, Alary Turbett, on the eveningof the 28th of May, 1859, in the city of Newark.?The murder was the most cool and deliberate thatever took place in the State of New Jersey. Thereis no doubt but the deed was premeditated from thelact that Maude had long evinced a bitter feeling ofrevenge towards his sister. The cause, however,is known only to the husband of the unfortunatewoman, who still resides in Newark.

On the gallows he denounced the priests, attribu-ting his death to them and to witchcraft. He said:"The priests, lawyers and doctors had been thecause of bringing about his death by witchcraft.?Let us sec how they accomplished it. Who arethey and what are they, who do the like? Wewillsee. \\ hen 1 came to America, there wasBishop Hughes, Henry Ward Beecher, both at thehead of churches. And what are these churches ?

Both hospitals of witchcraft. Henry Ward Beech-er came with his Uncle Tom's Cabin, and what wasthe cause? He tried to steal niggers and run themaway. Then come on, ye O'Neals, and execute me;yes, execute me. The priest is the worst of all;they had been the ruination of him. The doctor isnext, he commits abortions, Ac. The lawyers driveyou to the State prisons, Ac."

He then made the following prayer:"O Lord Almightyand -Merciful God, look uponthe misery I have suffered. OI give vengeance

upon my tormentors and my family."On my sister, may the curse of God Almighty

rest upon her soul! O! Jesus Christ, who was cru-cified upon earth, I cry for vengeance on FatherCullan Conrtland Parker; they robbed me of myproperty, and curse them !"

THE SOLDIERS IN UTAH?SEVERE PUNISHMENT.?We find in the Philadelphia Ledger of yesterday,the followingletter from the Army in Utah, and i'the story it tells is to be credited, it certainly show 8

that the Army officers in that region arc given toinflicting "cruel and unusual punishment" andshould receive the attention of the superior au-thorities :

CAMP FLOYD, UTAH TERRITORY.December 12th, 1859.

Editors of Public Ledger We wish to give thepublic some hints through the medium of theLedger, that may enlighten them upon the subjectof army expenses in this Territory, and suggest aremedy for one single item, which, of itself, amountsto quite a large sum :

There are twenty-five or six men here now whohave been fouEd guilty of slight offences, and con-demned by a court-martial, to wear the ball andchain during the remainder of their services fortwo, three and four years. The most of these arefor triflingoffences. One poor fellow was sentencedfor three years and ten months for telling a ser-geant he would kick himsky-high.

There is no work for these men by which theymight earn a portion even of the enormous expensethey are to the Government. Although we livelrugally,yet the Government pays actually a largersum for each inan'u support now than it would costat a first class hotel in the cities. The blacksmithcharges a round sum for fixing the ball and chainto their ankles. Add to this two. or three six-muleteams to haul wood and water for their use, andtheir provisions coming from the States at an enor-mous expense, make altogether a pretty large sum,and all this, so far as is apparent to us, of no bene-fit to the soldiers or to the Government.

HON. REVERDY JOHNSON AND THE UNION.At the New York celebration commemorative of

the battle of New Orleans, the following letter wasreceived and read from Hon. Reverdy Johnson, ofthis city :

BALTIMORE, Saturday, Jan. 7, 1860.Gentlemen: It is not in my power to accept your

invitation to the ball and festival, which your So-ciety are to have on the 9th inst,, commemorativeof the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans. Iwish it was.

As the tidings of that battle reached every city,township and hamlet in our land , with what patri-otic delight were they received, and how deep andenduring, in the hearts of our countrymen, was thefeeling ot gratitude to the leader and the men whohad achieved so unexampled a victory. Then, whothought of dissevering our States'!

What, then, would have been the fate of him,could such a creature have been found known to beplotting such a result?

But now, in a few short years, what a change!?South and North (no such voice, thank God, hasas yet been heard from the great West.) we aretold that the Union is not worth preserving, andthese parricidal words are listened to with a seem-ing patience. We even permit ourselves to be ask-ed to sit down, and coldly, with slate in hand, cal-culate its value. Calculate its value! It defiesarithmetic. Tell out in figures the value of theashes of a glorious ancestry, commingled with thesoil of every field of the Revolution; the value ofthose noble triumphs of their jointvalor?Lexing-ton, Concord, Bunker Hill, Saratoga, Yorktown;the value of the blood and the sufferings which il-lustrated their fortitude and never-failing patriot-ism, in their march through Jersey, and their can-tonment at YalleyForge; the value of that match-less name, honored and revered the world over,which is our joint property and pride?Washing-ton; the value of the example, the entire creationofjointdanger and wisdom, which we have exhibit-ed ot a government which secures, a3 far as gov-ernment can secure, freedom to man, consistentwith security to the nation!

Not worth preserving?the life, happiness, free-dom, national renown, not worth preserving?

Are not the glorious monuments of the past,erected by jointefforts, worth preserving?

Is not a" great future, certain to establish evennobler monuments to regulated freedom, worthpreserving?

Who, if he wisely loves his own State, can fail toadore the Union? 'Marvland is as dear to me aslife, and I worship the Union because of my devo-ted love of her.

What would she be without it?Her sons could, to be sure, in mournful gratifica-

tion, point to her past history?the revolutionarydeeds of their ancestors?the battles won,in part, bvtheir daring?to the wisdom of their counsels, en-lightening even that convention, unrivalled in thehistory of man, for intelligence and patriotism,which gave us a Constitution, making the Unionthe more perfect; but for them, the Union gone,there would be nothing left in the future butcmn-parativc ruin and disgrace. What would she thenbe in the worldlyestimate? The smallest principal-ity of Europe would have a name better known andesteemed then hers. And what is true of my State,is true of all. Your own imperial New York, just-ly proud as you are, and we all are, of her great-ness, whose ships float on every sea, pioneers ofcivilization, contributors to human wealth andwant, rival of the world's marine, examples of whata free, united combination ofStates can accomplish,what would she then be? A paralysis would almostinstantly strike ber into imbecility. Her renown,too, ber sons could only remember in the past. Toher, also, there would be no future.

But let us not morbidly grieve over the dangerswhich threaten us. Let them rather serve but toanimate and nerve us to meet with firmness andpatriotism the crisis. Let us, in the spirit of acomprehensive nationality, and fraternal affection,renew our allegiance to the Union, that almost su-perhuman work of a common ancestry, and withall our hearts, and a resolution to withstand andovercome all impediments, swear on its altar, that"the Union must and shall be preserved." Letthat cry be heard throughout the land, and, as inthe days of Jackson, the peril will be ended.

I have the honor to be, with much regard, yourobedient servant, REVERDY JOHNSON.

For Treasurer ?Hon. B. B. French, D. C.For Secretary ?Maj. B. P. Poore, of Mass.On motion, the report was accepted, and the

chairman of the Committee (Mr. Wilder) was cho-sen to cast the vote for the nominees on the part ofthe Society; which was done, and the election an-nounced duly consummated.

PROCEEDINGS OP TO-DAY.Society met at 10 o'clock, Gen. Tilghman, thelate President, in the chair.Mr. Calvert, of Md., presented a series of reso-lutions, expressing the sense of the Society in rela-

tion to agricultural education; also deploring theExecutive veto of the Morrill bill, passed by Con-gress last year, and calling upon the AgriculturalSocieties throughout the States to co-operate withthis Society in endeavoring to obtain the passage ofa bill containing provisions similar to those "con-tained in said bill.

Mr. Calvert spoke at length on the land bill.He was opposed to making any but those who haddistinguished themselves as agriculturists, honora-ry members of this society. He did notregard Mr.Buchanan as having taken any special interestin the subject of" agriculture. The President him-self had said yesterday that he thought they hadgone a little too far in making him an honorarymember.

Mr. Amy, of Kansas, concurred in most of theremarks of Mr. Calvert, but he thought that whileMr. Buchanan was opposed to establishing agricul-tural colleges in the States at the expense of theGovernment, ho desired to aid the cause in otherways.

Mr. Mann, of Minnesota, desired Mr. Calvert towithdraw the resolution, which reflected on theExecutive for his veto of the agricultural college

Mr. Calvert refused to do so. ? This bill wouldhave become a law but for that veto, and he de-sired the country to know who was responsible forits failure.

Mr. Mann proceeded to reply to some of the re-marks submitted by Mr. Calvert.

Mr. Kel ley, of New York, moved that the wholesubject relative to the tesoiutions be laid on the ta-ble; agreed to.

THE POPE IN- THE PRESENT CRISIS.?Under theabove head the Cork Examiner publishes the fol-lowingpassages taken from a letter received by themember from Dungarvan from a gentleman of liinhposition in Rome. It is dated the 10th of Decem-ber:

"Iam happy to say that the llolvFather is per-fectly well, and is very grateful for the sympathymanifested for him by the Catholics all over theworld. The pastorals of the Irish BishoDs, and thegreat meetings in Dublin, and the sentiments eli-cited there, have been to him a source of much con-solation. Although it is for him a moment of greattrial and anxiety, yet he bears his troubles withthe greatest resignation, patience and equanimity,and every one remarks how cheerful he is in the midstof his sufferings. Rome was never more quiet thanit is at this moment, and if you were here youwould not see any difference from what it was lastyear. Of course we are looking forward anxiouslyto the Congress. England, no doubt, will be thegreat antagonist of the Holy Father; but I enter-tain a confident hope that the majority of the rep-resentatives will be in his favor.''

THE GREAT BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.?The St.Louis Democrat of the 9th inst. savs:?The non-celebrated SIOO,OOO breach ofpromise case, entitled"Carztang vs. Shaw," is set for a new trial in theCourt of Common Pleas, before Judge Reber, thismorning. It will be remembered that on the form-er trial the jury returned a verdict for the fullamount claimed?Sloo,oo0?and it is this, togetherwith the high-standing and wealth of the defend-ant that renders the case so interesting. The ver-dict is the largest ever given in the world in a simi-lar suit. On the present trial an enormous amountof new testimony, principally the depositions takenabroad, willbe introduced. It comprises the evi-dence of over fifty witnesses residing in Brooklyn,New York; Charleston, S. C.; Cincinnati, Balti-more and elsewhere.

BRICKBAT INSURRECTION IN BOLIVAR, MEXICO.?The Bolivar (Mo.) Pilot, of the 31st ult., containsa small paragraph giving the particulars of thebrickbat insurrection at that place on the 26th ult.,which was announced with such demonstrativeheadings from Warsaw. The affair was extremelytrivial, hardly amounting to a respectable Christ-mas frolic. The negroes, being rather too muchinspired by their Christmas potations, became alittle obstreperous, and came in conflict with aparty of whites, which resulted in an exchange ofseveral shots. No one was harmed, and the affairwas easily settled.

The remedy we would propose, so far as thesepersons are concerned, would be to discharge themat once, as unsuited to the service, or on conviction,drum them out of camp, and thus end the expenseand relieve the service of its unworthy members.

(Signed) Prisoners of U. S. A. in District Mili-tary Prison, more appropriately named "HardScrabble."FRENCH VIEWS OF THE HUNGARIAN TROU-

BLES.Troublesome times are again shadowed forth

for Europe in the political difficulties now existingbetween Austria and Hungary. The Paris l'atrie,speaking of the cause of unrest in Hungary, says :

"The Italian war, which was undertaken" for "thefreedom of the Italians, has awakened among theMagyars the hope of independence,which,althoughrepressed for a long time, was never entirelyquenched The sudden conclusion of the peace ofVillafranca, although destroying many illusions inthe plains of the Theiss, has however not discour-aged the men, and their number is large in Hun-gary, who prefer for their country a modest amountof concessions, obtained by peaceful means, to aradical change which would be the result of abloodlystruggle.

It was thought, and not without reason, that theevents accomplished in Italy would serve as a salu-tary lesson. Those events showed that a Powerwhich only reposes on bayonets is but an epheme-ral power. Lombardy was already lost to Austriapreviously to the occupation of tfiat province byFrance. It was therefore to be expected that theAustrian government would profit by that dreadfullesson and obtain the affection of the several na-tionalities by givingthem back the rights of whichthey have been deprived by a svstem of exaggera-ted centralization. This expectation has not en-tirely been deceived. The 'imperial manifesto ofJuly 15 announced to the people of the Austrianempire that the Einperor, at the cost of great sac-rifices, had concluded peace in order to give infuture all his care to internal reforms.

One single important reform measure has beentaken, since the peace, concerning Hungarv, andtiiat is,the re-organization of the Protestant Church,which, with political troubles, has caused muchdissatisfaction among the people. '

It is known that the Austrian government triedto gain the affections of the old conservative partyof Hungary. To ascertain the dispositions of themagnates who represent that party, M. de Ilubner,the Minister of Police, had an" interview withtwenty-two magnates. He was convinced that allthe ancient divisions of party had disappeared inHungary, and that no reform is possible, unless theancient constitution of the country is first re-established, and the government completely re-nounces its tendencies towards Germanizing Hun-gary and absorbing the Magyar nationality. M.de Hubner brought those impressions and convic-tions back to Vienna; a few days afterwards he wasno longer Minister.

The Opinion Rationale has an article on the samesubject. "What the Hungarian nation requires,'it says," is

"l". The liberty of the press and the suppressionof censure.

2. A responsible minister located at Bade-Pesth.3. The annual convention of the Diet and its re-

union at Pesth.4. The equality becoming the civil and religious

law.5. The National Guard.G. The public expenses equally supported by all.7. The abolition of all the feudal ties between

peasant and lord.8 The national juryand representation constitu-

ted on principle and equality.P. A national bank.10. That all soldiers make oath to the constitu-

tion; that Hungaiian soldiers may not be sentagainst foreigners; that foreign regiments be with-drawn from the country.,

11. The liberation of political prisoners.12. The union of Transylvania with Hungary."These are," it continues, "the condition "long

siDce necessary to the public rights of civilized na-tions."

THE SOUTH CAROLINA COMMISSIONER. ?The As-sembly of Virginia, on Wednesday, passed resolu-tions for the appointment ola joint committee of(ive on the part of the Senate and seven on thepart ot the House, "to receive as the gnest of theCommon wealth ot Virginia, C. G. Meuiinger, Spe-cial Commissioner from the State of South Caro-ina." He was expected to have arrived in Rich-mond on Thursday.

RUNAWAY SLAVES. ?Within the past week overthirty negroes have escaped from their owners inJlason county. It has been impossible for them tocross the Ohio with any security, and it is supposedthat they are harbored by the free negroes resid-ing in Maysville along the line.? Frankfort, JCu.,Yeoman, 7th.

HON. A. H. STEPHENS.? Many of the Southernpapers are advocating the elaims of this gentlemanas a candidate for the Presidency.
