AI1L.E3 u'Keili.ky. Senator James Guthrie, of Ken-| tucky, is sketched by a Washington correspondent. The following Is an ex tract, describing IiIb traits as Secretary I or tho Treasury: ''Guthrie was a walk ing cyclopedia of the Treasury. He knew more details in eaoh branch than the subordinate especially charged with theui. His intuitions were like light ning.

DuriugPierce'a admin istration Congress passed a law increas ing 20 per cent the slalarles of Govern ment employees. Nicholson, thePublic Priuter, presented his account with this additional percentage. Guthrie rejected it on the ground that he was u contractor, not au employee. Nichol son went for help to his friend, the President. He indorsed the paper: "Tub* account seema to mo correct, and, in my judgment, it ought to be paid. Franklin Pierce." Then it was handed back to the Secretary. Guthrie, In a rage, replied: "Tell the President it is not correct, aud I'll be d?d if I'll pay It.' Nicholson, fancying he saw tbe Cabinet officer beheaded, reported this rash response to the Executive. But that amiable chief only answered: 'Did Guthrie say thatT Then I don't think he will pay it. 1 never knew him togive up after putting his foot dowrn!' Now. at seventy-four, James Guthrie is a Senator or tho United Ntutes, who has not appeared In his seat fortwoseu sions, and a millionaire, who carries In Ma^jiocket the JLouisvilleand Nashville "A Friend in Need."?Tho New York Sun has an editorial giving some good advice to parents?to give their boya a good trade.

The Richmond Examiner has a re view of the crop prospects of the South, which are represented in a most en eouraging light. It Bays: Our daily business correspondence is heavy with subscribers in middle aud Southern Georgia, and it is to these sec tions that we would more particularly direct our remarks. Of me grain crops, embracing wheat, corn and oats, we may say that the sec tion referred to never produced better to the area planted. Provislous for man and beast will be abundant an other year, except In the matter of bacon. As regards cotton, the area planted is somewhat, though not largely, in excess of last year'a crop. The seasons have been far better, alternate sunshine aud rain having been visited on the earth in very fair proportions. The weed has grown off finely under a more careful culture than last year's, and is now fruiting to the satisfaction of the plant ers. The only drawback to the crop has been a super-abundance of rain for the last month, causing an inordinate growth of wood, and the falling bf umny of the squares and young bolls. We do not think, though, from all we can learn, that tuecrop will very mate rially suffer from this source. As regards the general crop, if our in formation be correct from all the cotton growing sections, we should estimate it. with all the lights before us, at from 2,800,000 to 8,000.000 bales, barring fu ture disasters. We do not think it can exceed the latter tigure in any event. The Charleston Ntwa and our other Southern exchanges generally corrob orate the views of the Examiner. The latest invention in the way of a motive power that has come under our observation, is a swing arranged to give motion toa wheel to which may be at tached the dasher of a churn, the han dle of a pump, or any other light ma chinery requiring & steady motion. A cut of this Invention represents a young lady comfortably seated in the swing reading a book, while the churn dasher is in vigorons motion. Truly here is a combination of labor; and-1pleasure over which labor economists may well grow enthusiastic. SPIKITCAI.HM. Lecture on ?Ue ??lights and Nbfule* of Hpl.llU'llain." M Andrew J?cU?on Uu?l?.-?arrl?ice From the New York Herald. Andrew Jackson Davis delivered a lecture last evening, at the Masonic Hall. East Thirteenth street, on the "I labts and Shades of Spiritualism. Owing <o 'be unfavorable character of the weather, there was a rather slim audience, but iw BmallueBS was proba blv more than oompensated for, in the opinion of the lecturer by i n enlighten ed and "progressive" character. In place of the curious crowd which osual iv makes up the majority ol a spirit ualist congregation, the gathering was composed almost exclusively ot earnest and enthusiastic "seekersol the truth. At anv rtte the proportion of short hairec^ strangely dressed women, and of long haired, spectacled, somnolent men was larger than usual; and of those present bad a wild, "cnX?l eT nressIoD about the eyes which clp only be seen In a progressive spiritualist lvceum or an Insane asylum. The proceedings were opened by slow music of un impressive character, a young lady of melancholy appearance presiding at the piano. Mr. Davis Then plunged at once into his subject. He said that In the pas. few years splr itualism had made great strides, aud had now established its claims as a truthful system. Five years ago the number of spiritualists was not Wk^ ten years ago everybody disbelieved the truths taught by the ilew fifteen veari ago, every body dlsbelle\eu fn JberiT"l persons included. N?w,a. Judge Edmonds staled on ,hl,t^t'r^ olnforin only a few weeks ago, there were eleven millions of spiritualism in the United States. It was one of t o lights of spiritualism to know that this waa SOI but this light was acuotnpauled b^a great shadow. Many of those in ciuded In this calculation, though they had received private evidence of the truth, aud believed in it, still remained members of the P?P?>" probes, and auooorted pulpits in which principles, which they themselves had seoretly ac cepted, were constantly and (jan/iimnwl Onlv last week he hBd spoken to a gentleman who belonged to i t^ia large class upon this subject, and had asked him how much bethought spiritualists gave away every, year to i auDDort orthodox theology?

Mr. Davis luded to the great work which spiritual MUwere doing for women, snd urged upon tho female section >;f 't? ??2S[y gallon that It was not only 111heir 'duty, out their interest to support the new movement. In the lyceum wmen were more iutluential and got larger Sri? than men. This was because spiritualism came to women naturally, just as the sunlight droppwluponlhe dowers.

Knllroad Comforts. Travelers, accustomed only to the old-fashioned, and sometimes rloketly, dirty and uncomfortable railroad cars of the Atlantic seaboard, where the railway system has been long e8l*b' Ushed and ought to be ahead oralloth er sections, are always neree?bly Fmr prised when they puss Into the States west ot the Ohio, aud especially in Michigan, Illinois and Missouri, to And rallwav conveniences, comforts, and even luxuries, unknown to them at home. The cars on all express 'rains are spacious, tidy, cleanly, handsomely ornamented, and well provided with most things calculated to promote the ease, health and cheerfulness ol the nassengers. At all, or nearly all the great centrnl points, as at Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Chicago, Ac., the great railway linesconverge In the same de pots. The incoming and outgoing trains arrive and depart under the same roor, and In this way the traveler, whether on business or in the pursuit of pleasure, Is saved the anxiety and worry ol hurrying from one distant station to another in fever lest he miss the train, and at the same time subject to the extortions of the hack-driver or the risk of a quarrel. None bnt tbose who have experienced them can fnlly realize the beneflts and the pleasures 01 such railway facilities and convenien ces as those we refer too. There 1b no good reason why we should not have them In the East as well as In the West. But there Is another comfort In Western traveling that has grown out of the pe culiar wants of that region, worthy of aulto as strong commendation, and that U the modern car, styled somewhat grandly, tho "sllvor palace car. It is fn some respects the same as the fa miliar sleeping-car; but in others quite distinct from that Improvement. If_isi a sleeping-car by nlghl, furnished with convenient, pleasant and entirely pri vale state-rooms for families, and a h idsome Baloon by day, with c room for freedom of motion; with sofas and tables so arranged that the occupants may read, write, play chess or whist, or enjoy the pleasure or con versation with the same cozy reeling or satisfaction as at home in the library or parlor. Besides this, it contains wasb rooms and retiring-rooms. Surround ing all this, too, there is an artistic and 1 elaborate ornamentation that has a I happy effect upon the spirits and cheer fulness of the traveler and his compan ions. In some specimens of the car we are describing, there is In addition to everything else, a restaurant, with bills I of fare distributed through tho train, I from which the passenger may order either casual refreshments, a lnnch. or ! dinner, and have it served to him on the | table In front of bis sofa. Ibis saves I hiui and hia party all the heat and Tret ting of "bolting" a hurried meal by the roadaldo while the train is waiting. WlNB Orowing.?The first paragraph which follows is from the California Wine-growers' Keport: "The introduction of native wines into general use will, It Is believed, promote habits of temperance and good health, by discouraging the taste for in i flaming alcoholic drinks, and substitu ! ting beverages that promote digestion, i j without inflaming the blood or destroy- | I ing the natural action of the vital or gans." This second paragraph is the com- i | ment of a California journal: "Perhaps these sage winegrowers think the people don't know that nearly every proprietor of a vine-producing Ivineyard of Napa and Sonoma is a, i drunkard, aud that In some instances the wire and children merit the same s I unlovely title."

Tby he Bnd bermother did not make their residence with ber. The middle and upper parts of South Carolina were then conaidered tbe safest part, I think, of the whole Con federacy. He left her, as he thought, in safety. Though I was younger than Caroline, he especially requested me to oe or ench assistance to ber as lav in my power. 3 I purchased for her, with iny own money, salt, vegetables, chickens, and homespun for her children. But she had not the slightest idea how to cut and make the homespun ; though she could embroider and work tapestry, she had never learned bow to do plain sewing. She was grateful for my assistance. I cut it out and showed her how to make it up for ber children, who had both outgrown the laces and cambrics which she bad brought with her to Dark Cor ner. The people of tnia place did not like her or take any Juterest In her, be cause on her arrival she had been ac customed to send her eldest child out walking with two grown servants in attendance upon bim. At length the fall of Columbia took place. It was reported throughout the surrounding country immediately af terwards that many of tbe principal In habitants of Columbia and those sup posed to have been the warmest seces sionists, had been beheaded* in the public square, immediately after the conflagration of the city. It is impos sible fully to describe the excitement pervading the community at that time. tk"1 Cen. Sherman had publioly ordered tbe city to be flred that he had in peraon ordered ladies, citizens and children out of their houses that they might be set on fire, aud bad thrown back into tbe flames tbe few necessary articles of clothing which the miserable inhabitants, pressed at once by hre, sword and famine, were en deavoring lo save. It was said that one aged man entreated of theaoldlers, who were firing bis house, only to be allow C| '? CH?ry, JT',th *",m ? portrait of a deceased child, and that it was taken from him and thrown into his burninir bouse. ? Caroline and I both had friends and connections who had taken refuge in Columbia, supposing iHo be a place of particular safety. For some days tbe imagination was before us of peaceful and aged friends and relatives, perhaps among those butchered in the market' P ftT1 for all tbe young and middle-aged were in the army. ?f course wo knew that much of these reports were but the wild exagger ations of rumors; but they did not the less, at that time, excite and bewilder our riiinds. It was In ono of the last skirmishes during the evacuation of Richmond that George McFarlaud was killed, lie had been a person entirely dependent upon sUition, wealth and external ad vantages All these had now taken to themselves wings. The few friends aud acquaintances who still continued to notice and visit Caroline, now that she become a poor and dependent wid ow, considered, I believe, that her situ ation was not really the worse for this further loss. But to Caroline's woumu's heart he was still most dear. His faults were forgotten, if even noted at the w^ich I much doubt. Fortnuate iy for the generality of women, thev reason little concerning the character oi those who should be most dear to them. Caroline did not even seem aware that Ueorge bad been neglectful and unkind to her, though this fact was notorious among her acquaintances. She aban doned herself to this new grier for some time, and was with difficulty roused by one or two friends who remained faith rul to her, to take notice ot tbe fact that there was not even provisions remain ing Tor another day for herself and lit tle children. But when she knew the tact she could only weep afresh. The idea of any exertion being made by herself did not seem to enter her mind. For a while I used to share with her children our scanty portion of dailv food, and used to carry her a cup of tea and a crust of bread daily, when I bad the power to do so. But from this time she took to her bed. On my fre quent visits I generally found her In bed, and she scarcely seemed to care for even the scanty nourishment which I was able to bring her. Her servants found work for themselvos indifferent ways, and did all that they could lor oer also. Soon after the surrender, news came that George McFarland'a only sister and ber husband had returued from kurope, were In New York, and would speedily arrive at the farm belonging to them (upon which Caroline resided) jo look arter the remnants of the fami ly property. She seemed to have some hope again at tbis news. But I had heard that this brother-in-law was a harsh and cruel character, and I au gured ill for Caroline and ber chil dren from the Ilrat rumor of his coming. It was In vain that Caroline had writ ten to her lather. He was no longer able even to come to her. I heard i f f?rmer>y J> "'"a or distinction holding a hfgb office, lived by flsb ing, while his wile plaited palmetto baskets and bats for sale. ,r?,ill{"S%2?'ISe M<--F?rland'a sister r.Iri t.

I I told ber how I had learned it. and 'm i* m*l,f th" was trne. i hlni know it," wss her reply I be might harm the child." This was enough, nud all I could do then waH to weep with my friend. Her Bible whs by her side. In ull her troubles her heart bad seemed to turu where alono true consolation could be. found. After this I saw her every day. She never again left her room during her stay. One day she Informed me that a note from Mr. Butler bad expressed -tire-hxabnity of the writer to maintain longer bcrself and her children. "We require but little in addition to their own family,"said sne. I proposed to her, with the consent of my father, that she should come to us, and let me do with her silver, etc., for her support, as I was doing with onr's for onr own. But she replied to me with tears, "Our only hope, dear Violet, Ih that Mr.? (naminga relative of the family,) "will pay uie a few hundred dollars which be owed my husband; 1 could then get to my father, and we could live together again. 1 am going to his bouse. I will try." She had given up her tirst inten tion of going to Baltimore. Oh ! how sad were her lonely meals. Some Hinall portion ot those of the fam ily was brought to her room for herself and childreu. They used to send and invite me to the table. I knew that I had forfeited favor with the Butler family by making my daily visits exclusively to her. They still hud ready money, and even the |20,000 which remained to them were riches compared to the position of others. But though sometimes in want of a meal myself, I did not feel as 'though I could eat at their table. The last night that I ever saw Caro line she said to me, "Sister has given me seven dollars, and has prepared some food for me to take with me. I do not think that she could help it. But, ob, Violei! I am turned oat upon the world with seven dollars. Is there a Providence who allows me to come to this? Ob, Violet! what have I done to bring this upon me? I could not help It. I remembered at the moment the faith and promises, which were broken, that sue might marry into the family?and from them her death-blow was to come. "Caroline," I said, "remember that " 'Not an uncommissioned stone Our guarded feet shall wound.'" "Repeat that again, clear friend," she said. I repeated it several times for her. It seemed to calm and comfort her. At length we parted. The next morning I saw Mr. Butler set off with her in a carriage, to escort her to the nearest railroad station. I am told that he parted with her there with every outward expression of affection and regret. I received one letter from her after her arrival in 8avanuah. The friends who owed her husband had paid her something, and forwarded her on her Journey, part of the way, in an open wagon. The joy of meeting her pa rents had revived her a little. She aud they had been received, to the best of i their powers, by friends in Savannah. But she had never left her bed ugaiu after her urrival. I "Oh! that journey!?thut journey! dear Violet; Ifeel as though I should never recover from it," was au expres sion used ill her last letter. And in one month more I was in formed of her death. In thefollowlng spring General Vesey was restored the honorable office which ho had formerly held. And thus her little bark went down iu sight of laud. Shu died when hope and help had al most come.?Ar. 1". Evening Post. 'Beheaded was the report. MAXiniLUVS WILL. <'urloiiN Testamentary Argument* ol ttie Kmperor diiiI Empress. Tietnut (July 10) Vorrapondence of the Paris Liberie. I havo already announced toyoutbat the testamentary executor of the Em peror Maximilian was Count Francois Zichy. I now learn that there is a sec ond, Count Qaddik. Concerning the wills of the Emperor Maximilian and the Empress Charlotte, some informa tion of a precise nature bus reached me which cannot fail to excite the highest interest. From what I learn, which, of course, I cannot guarantee, although I have it from the best source, two wills, perfectly analogous, were drawn up by the Emperor and Empress. Each of them, in case there waa no issue of the marriage, leaves all the property to the survivor. Thus, Maximilian be ing dead, his fortune, estimaied at from ten to twelve millions of florins, only calculating his property at Mlramar, Lacroma, and the artistic wealth col lected there, reverts to the Empress Charlotte. The will of Maximilian Is there to attest it. But now comes the strange affair. It is asserted that the Empress Charlotte's will, written with ber own band, and which was carefully locked up in one of the rooms at Mlramar, has suddenly disappeared, nobody knows how or where. From that circumstance It re sults that, as the Empress Charlotte baa no will and is not In a state to make one, seeing the almost complete ab sence of her tneulal faculties, all her fortune, including the part coming from ber husband, the Emperor Maxi milian, and which ought in justice, after her death, to revert to the Aus trian Imperial family, will now legally lall to the royal one of Belgium.
