WimT,by mail, inadraac*. lgOO W H K E I, I N G : Saturday Morning, Hoy. 26,1859. We have three foreign arrivals an nounced this morning, under our tele graphic head. The despatches from Montreal state that the Great Victoria Bridge has been passed over by the cars, and will be ready for pub lic use, by the 15th of next month. It was a baox, according to the dis patches, about Got. Packer, of Pa., tender ing Wise 10,000 men. Contrary to most hoaxes, it was calculated to do more good than harm, ire think. Is the annals of England, the Elira bethean age stands Tery much as does the Augustan age in the history of Rome. The Englishman never points to that era but with pride?certainly he has ample grounds for pride. During that illustrious reign, there lived many of those great men whose names are known by almost every one who has ever even heard of the influences of philosophy, religion, politics or literature. There were Spenser, Ben Jonson and Shakspeare; there were Ba con, the greatest philosopher, and Coke, the greatest lawyer: yet. strange as it seems, both the meanest men of any age: there was Burleigh, the long-trusted and sagacious statesman ; Sir Francis Drake, the first circumnavigator of the world; Raleigh, the man whose genius was uni versal, and whose courage and accomplish ments made him the favorite of even that great age; and to these we might add a hundred others, scarcely less renowned. It was in the times which produced these remarkable names, that there lived one, who, in all the parts of a perfect man, stands, we truly believe, conspicuously above any other character presented in the history of grand old England. It will be easily understood that we refer to Sir Philip Sidney?than whom, as Southey said: "No pMtw, hrarer m*n His own delightful geaiu* ever feigned, Illustrating the vsl>- of Arcadj." There is no kind of literature more inter esting, more profitable, perhaps, especially to young persons in the formation of their character-!, than Biography. " Lives of great men," remind us how our own livc3 may be made great. The life of such a man as Sir Phillip Sidney presents the best exemplar of a truly noble character, that can anywhere be found. By birth belong ing to the nobility of England, liis highest nobility consisted in the virtue, temper ance, and amiability of his nature?traits which^he exhibited to an extraordinary degree, to the very last hour of his life.? Naturally possessing a fine genius and brilliant talents, he also became ooescssed of the best education which the schools of those days afforded. The Latin and Greek classics were particularly his delight and and study. His first and chief literary work, is a romance justly celebrated for the unsurpassed purity and excellence of its style, called the .-1 readia, Though writ ten as prose, it is a purely ideal composi tion, full of the very finest poetical thoughts Had we space we would like to present an outline, with a few specimens of this cele brated work. Sidney also composed seve ral poems, and a considerable number of sonnets, which also bear evidence of the fine genius, and cultivated taste of their author. But it is not principally as a literary man that Sidney is ceUbKited. His genius and learning, and noble birth are almost lost Bight of in comtemplating him as a man of untainted virtue, lofty honor, and heroic bravery. Contemporary writers, as Hume observes, have described him as the most perfect model of an acomplished gentle man that could be formed even by the wanton imagination of poetry or fiction. It is in his character of a gentleman, that we most lovo to contemplate him, and in lTliich he l>c3t shines. There have been many attempts at s vetching the life of this great man, but w*may truthfully say that none has fully co-ne 'up to the task! Whilst we write, th"re)s before us a volume, lately put out bv jtessrs. Ticknor & Fields, of Boston, ent tlel 'Sir Pii'ip Sidney, and 1/a Timet," which we may safely recommend as a/i ex cellent biography of the renowned charac ter that i3 the subject of this article.? Whilst recommending the book, we more especially recommend the study of the great"man, who figures as its real hero.? Surely we conld recommend no fitter ex ample. If every one were to make himself well acquainted with the biography of such n one as Sir Philip Sidney was, we know he could not fail to profit by what he has learned. t Tub recent arrivals bring U3 intelligence concerning^the progress of the great eman ; cipationJgMTement in Russia. No check | has betf|p|?en to it by the Government, as jMpagorted a short time since, but, on the Centra, Committee is going forward with the plau, and ileking to obt.iiu a modification of the Inai plan, which fixed the period of years for the regulation of the tor J relations between peasants and ?sters. The long delay, they say. rise to disputes between disgon ?oprietors and the iguorant peas are easily deceived and cor tliat olass of oppositionists, of public officers thrown ivment by the new system, .servants with ?olxcs in its pro ?uctiou of the so population in a way . anything like a Wk have already stated that the Re publicans of Washington Co., Pa., held a convention in the Court House, in Wash ington, on last Monday evening. Various reports appear in the papers of that place respecting the harmony and unanimitv of the meeting. Some difference of opinion undoubtedly existed, regarding the choice of that county for the Presidential candi dacy and also as to the Governorship, but otherwise the meeting was an enthusiastic and encouraging one. Bingham, of the Pittsburg Journal was on had and made a speech, though somehow, he failed to per j suade the staunch people of our neighbor ! ing county to have either Judge John M. \ Read for President, or Ex-Congressman Thos. M. Howe for Governor, for both of whom he is aa ardent advocate. On the subject of the Presidency, the convention passed the following resolution: i Rttotrfd.^ That in Gen. Simon Cameron we recognize the man who. bv his long and untiring devotion to Pennsylvania in- ' terests and the best interests of the conn- I i try. can carry Pennsylvania triumphantlv i | in 1880?that we cordially recommend him for nomination as the Republi can candidate for President by the Na tional Convention, and that our dele gates to the State Convention are herebv instructed to vote for such measures in tha't body as will best tend to secure his nomi nation by tbe National Convention. The resolution was not passed without some opposition, several of the members mentioning and expressing very decided preferences for Seward, McLean, Critten den and others. The Hon. Andrew G. Curtain, of Lu zerne county, seems to have been the choice for Governor, as appears by the following, which was passed by the con ventiou: Rttolctd. That entertaining a profound sense of the distinguished services render ed to the Commonwealth bv its late able Secretary of State, Hon. Andrew G. Cur tain, and having the- highest confidence in bis integrity and fidelity to Republican principles, we regard him as an eminentlv suitable candidate for Governor in I860, and therefore instruct our delegates to the State Convention to support him for that position as the choice of Washington county. With regard to the Republican candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, we. of course, have nothing to do. But it seems somewhat strange to us that Washington county should pass by Hon. T. M. Howe,of the adjoining county of Allegheny, who is a man every way qualified for the office, and is besides a Republican of undoubted loyalty, and run away into the other end of the State for a candidate. Mr. Curtain is, we beiieve, a very excellent man, but why should Howe rhceive the "go by" from his next neighbors? The convention appointed Geo. V. Law rence and John Hall Representative Dele gates, and M. M. Broekman, Senatorial Delegate to the State Convention niseting in Harrisburg on the 22d of Fobruarv next. ' The Washington Constitution say3 that the government showed great alacrity in ordering forces to the scene of disorder as soon as it received news of the peril of Brownsville. We do not know how vigo rous it was in ordering, but it will be diffi cult to make people understand how there was much energy mid promptness in the war department, when it is notorious that six weeks after the beginning of the out break not a United States soldier had reached the unhappy town. We hope, however, that this wretched affair is draw ing to a close, and that it will not become the occasion of grave troubles either to Mexico or the United States. We are Willing to be very charitable in our judg ments of the President about the whole matter, if he resists the present temptation ! to carry out his plan of enlarging our do I main at the expense of Mexico. Tnrnc was a severe shock of an earth quake throughout the Republic of Chili, on the 5th of October. The duration of I the shock was four to five minutes, and considerable damage was done in the city ofOopiapa, where several buildings were overthrown. At the port of Caldera. the sea retreated several times from the coast, j leaving a beach of one hundred and fiftv yards, which caused a panic amongst the ! 1 inhabitants, who flew affrighted to the j i neighboring hills; fortunately the sea re- ' turned to it3 place without any violence, and did not occasion the least disaster.

Mr. J. G- Jacob. Tb Herald in view of what came near hap pening, has a sort of a new salutatory to its readers, calling on them to do a goo-' part by it in getting up subscribers, an promisiag in return, to add to its intere. and usefulness as a county paper. W hope the people of Brooke and Hancoc will give ear to the request of the Herah and sustain it well, for the Herald is credit to those counties, and honestly an faithfully advocates their interests. From the issue of yesterday, we clip the following local items: Ma. Julius Lemoyse passed through town on Tuesday last with four very fine specimens of Kentucky cattle, from the herds of Cassius M. and James Clay, des tined for his father. F. J. Lemoyne. c Washington county. Pa. The lot, a bull, cow and two heifers, cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,000. and will b an addition to *he already fine stock o that county. There has not been the at tention bestowed upon the breeding of im proved stocks of cattle in this region that has been given to other stock, though where efforts have been made in that di rection they have proved profitable to the parties making them, which makes the neglect the more singular. Cossiderable drove3 of sheep have passed through town recently, en route for Texas, which bid3 fair to become the Eldo rado of sheep raisers. There appears at this time to be quite an excitement in fa vor of wool growing in Texas. and hand some profits have been realized on the sale of stock taken from this section. The scarcity of provender, this season, also acts as a kind of impetus Texasward. The corn trade is quite brisk latterly along the river. The Convoy carries huge piles of the article daily to Wheeling for use and shipment by railroad. It com mands readily 40 and 45c per bushel, and where not affected by the frost is generally of excellent quality. We are requested to remind all persons who have memorials in their hands, touch ing the Panhandle Railroad to forward them to the Post Offices at New Cumber land. Ilolliday's Cove snd Wellsburg by tiie 2d of December, so shut th'ey may be for warded to Richmond as soon thereafter as possible. NEWS FBOJI KA.VAWUA. [Clipped fnjro the Charleston Republican,] The Military sprit of Kanawha is thor oughly aroused, as we now have two com panies of Riflemen formed, and under drill, and composed of as good and true men as can be found in Virginia. A Meeting of the citizens of the Kanawha Valley wilt be holden at Kanawha C. If., on Monday next, (County Ctiurt day) for the purpose of considering matters connec ted with the Kanawha River improvement. The River is now- down to low water mark, and a poor prospect for a rise. The Kllcn Gray is the regular packet for Cin cinnati, and ii making regular weekly trips. We arc pleased to see that P. C. Hans ford has opened a News depot on board the E!len Gray, for the purpose of supplying the inhabitants along our river, with the latest Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and Now York papers. The nice little Gallipolis packet Jennie continues to make her semi-weekly trips, carrying full loads up and down. GRAFTON* SEWS. [From the Grafton Guardian.] The Calithumpian Hand gave its first performance for the season on Tuesday night, in honor of the Marriage of a citizen of our town. In vigor and sweetness of tone, the music was a little ahead of the best yells of half a dozen locomotives. We have another Surgeon and Physi cian in town. See his Card. If it were not for surgical operations, and a class of cases which naturally occur, the faculty would have dull times hereabouts. The place is decidedly healthy, although there are nearly a dozen places where ardent spirits are sold, besides a Brewery and not less than four doctors, there is not a single graveyard in town, nor very near it! At a meeting of the Iioard of Trustees for the Town of Grafton, held on Wednes day, the 23d, G. R. I.atliam was appointed Com. of the Rev. for the town, in place of E. H. Menefee, resigned, with instructions to complete immediately, the assessment of ordinances, that the bills may be put into Sergeant's hands for collection. The Missouri Republican contained an ! article on Thanksgiving day, opposing the idea of the people of Missouri spending the same day in thanksgiving that the people of the Northern States devote to that pur pose. The Republican said, referring to the Northern States: We do not care about keeping such com pany. Is the I'sios, the people of Mis souri would like to huve a different day on which to manifest their thankfulness to God for his many blessings during the year. I And yet the Republican claims to be be yond all comparison in its vicinity a Cnion paper. The Democrat suggests : The next move of the Hepubliean will probably bp to put down Fourth of July, because it is celebrated in the Ne\v Eng land States. . ? Buffalo officers are in search of Ileenan and Morrissey, to take the famous pugilists to the city for trial, under the law of this State imposing a penalty upon any person leaving the State for the purpose of parti cipating in a prize fight. Indictments have been found at Buffalo not only against Morrissey and Heeuan, btit against King and Kelley, wiio were engaged in a more recent fight, and it is said to be the intention of the authorities to bring them all to trial and to punishment. We hope the intention will be carried into execu tion. Lord Deeby has taken occasion, in a public speech, to deny the charges of cruel ty towards some of his Irish tenants, which have been made against him. Instead of turning hundreds out of their homes be cause they would not inform against a murderer, he only warned eight or ten persons, who, as he supposed, might bring the criminal forward*, that he should dis charge them. The general testimony is that ha is a kind and indulgent landlord. Iron. Works in-thie United States. From a table comp'Jed bj- the American Iron Association, exhibiting the number of iron works, idle and in operation, in the United Strtes, it appears that there are farnaces, rolling mills or forges in twenty five of the States of the Union, leaving bnt eight States destitute of iron works. These are Mississippi. Louisiana. Florida. Texas. Iowa. Minnesota, California, and Oregon?all upon the boundary or frontier. The following.are the totals : Works. Fcnuftg. Fonr*. RollinnMUU. Working. 1150 560 210 Abandoned, 356 272 cfl 15 15(5 S3J isS These produce annually about 850.000 tons of iron, the value of which, in an or dinary year, is fifty millions of dollars. Of this amount, the portion expended for labor alone is $35,000,000. From a table prepared by Sir. Charles E. Smith, showing the duties, importations, and ? price of Liverpool each year since 1S40. it appears that under the tariff of 1S-1C the increase in the import of iron is tnori? than ten times the increase in fhe population, and more than thirty-eight times the in crease in the domestic production. The Mohammedan faith is wonderfully consolatory in some respects, The Sul tan's government being saddled with debts, which it cannot possibly pay, some of his subjects arc consoling themselves and flattering him with this beautiful conclu sion, which they have drawn from reason ing upon his position, namely, that his government rau*t be a strong one else it could not exist as it does "with the pay of his arm}* several months in arrear. '-Allah Akbar! There is only one God, and Mo hammed is his prophet." Montalambhrt is again in hot water.? He has incurred the displeasure of the Emperor, and called down a warning upon the Corrcapondant, in which paper he has expressly called England ipnoble. and has insinuated that Xapoleon III. is a sort of Machiavelli. The Emperor gives him to understand that he cannot allow such dis courtesy to England or to himself. We pity the cause of free speech more than we do Montalembert. As Encyclopedia has just been completed in Germany, in two hundred and forty-two volumes.
