The tfewfmmdlander, in noticing Mr. Howe's sec ond letter on the gold fields, snya that " this letter certnlnly contains statements of facts which can leave bo doubt that Nora Scotia is to occupy a prominent place in the category of the world's gold producing countries, and that a future of bright promise is opening up for her." , i- .

Havins mentioned the Couimander- in-Ohlef, you will perhaps lika to hear the impression his presence makes with his photograph yon must be familiar. He looks great, though not large; his person is power- IU1 ana symmetrical, uu uiauuor eiiupiy gra cious. His countenance at once engages your attention. A bright, earnest eye; firm, not grim mourn, a smiie more or tne whole face than the lips. It is a face beauti ful in its unbending, and that may look ter rible in the concentration of its wrath. Self- possession, presence of mind, would seem the most predominant of McClellau's second ary qualities. Of his primary gifts I should be inclined to predict generosity and geaius. lie looks like a man wno would always Dave his wits about him, and whose conclusions would not follow their premises by the next train. ' " " Verv different is the impression made the President of this country. - Length is the characteristic ot bis person; longanimity and patience of his temperament. He has an in telligent, not very tangible, face; one does not easily recall any of his features save the mild eve. of sapphire cray, but without the sapphire's brilliancy. The Commander-in- Chief is all cioee nacked and srathered ur: the President is spread out and lone; drawn out, but he looks both kind and honest, and mere is as oitea sircuKui in wukvu ta thickness, only in another wise. The tiger can tear; the boa-constrictor slowly stran gles. Let ns hope that the President has good many coils with which to smotner Southern enemy.

Ex Lieutenant General Scott arrived here from Havre, which port he reached in the Arogo on Sunday morning. Yesterday af ternoon at six o'clik he was met at the railroad station by Mr. Biuelow, the Coiled States Consul, and by the (Secretary and As sistant Secretary of Lfgatioo, Alegars. Pen nir.Rton and Dayton. -1 ttoonld not snppnse it would have required any very great relax- i ation from his ufual dignity for the Minuter ' to have been persent in person to greet tbe war-worn old veteran to whom our country ones so much, and whom our countrymta and their representatives abroad sbouid do liRbt to bnnor. But Mr. Dayton was not prtfent, - Tbe General baa taken rooms at the Westminster Hotel, in tbe Rue de la Paix, where, upon his arrival, he ws met by Mrs. Scott, who has not seen him before in five or six years. General Scott and his wife, finding that their tempers and modes of thought were not of an amicable character, "agreed to disagree," and eonoluded that as they could not love each other together, they would love each other apart. Most of that time Mrs. Scott has been residing in Europe, and baa always manifested intense interest iu her husband's movements and welfare. At tbe Union breakfast given last summer at the Hotel de Louvre, and at which soma of our newly-Hulked Ministers made such ''Mug ginses'' of themselves, Mrs. Scott was ores tDt, and whenever an allusion was made to the General she seemed to be deeply affected, and once shed tears. Latterly she has man ifested a greater interest than ever in ber buctiard's career, and for two or three weeks he was so nervous and excited that it was found Dtcesaary to keep from her all the pv r ers containiCK bad news. Now, upon the General's arrival in Paris, she wishes to greet him, forgetting all that is past. And it is not improbable nnder all tbe circumstances that the vnerab!e pair may conclude to finish tbe remainder of life's downhill jour ney together. Quite a demonstration was made by the American Bhip captains upon the Gaueral's arrival at Havre. Two triumphal arches were erected, nnder which tbe General paaetd, and as much enthusiasm was ex hibited and aa much noise was made as was consistent with the quiet ideas of the French police. To-day the General is resting quietly at bis hotel, and to-morrow or next day will receive his American frieni's. After remain it.e here a few weeks for medical advice and treatment, he will proceed to the south of i ranee, probably to l au or (Jaime?, where be will spend the winter. He cDjoted the trip across very much, never missed a meal. and says he feels better now than ho bus fur a year past, , a What tbi Errxcr Would Bb. Speaking of any possible rapture between the British Empire and our Government, the New York Herald thus sums up the results: We have nothing to fear in a war with England but the blockade and investiture of our cities on tne seaboard, l'or this latter i danger, Government should at once take Bteps to be prepared. All our coast defeases should be immediately repaired and strength ened, and contracts be given out for iron- plated vessels and noatioi; batteries, that wil render our harbors impregnable. As regards any other results, we have nothing to appre hend. We could withdraw all our vessels from the ocean, and suffer a ten rears' em bargo, without its materially affecting our domestic condition. We happily concen trate within our boundaries all the elemeate agricultural, industrial and commercial which make a countrv self-reliant and inde pendent. Ifthere be a necessity for it. we can dispense altogether with tbe silks, the woolens, the wines and other luxuries of European production. A blockade of our ports would do more injury to Europe in a single year than it would inflict on ns in a dozen. For us it would be union, greater independence and self-reliance, and a more abundant development of resources. For Europe, which depends so much on onr pro ducts, it would be bankruptcy, starvation. revolution. We do not believe that either England or France are eager to proceed to extremities with a people thus naturally strong, ine nest way $o avoid war, How ever, is to be prepared lor it. iu a the are not or feet a and from been A bill has passed the lower House of Con gress authorizing tbe raising of a volunteer force for the better defense of Kentucky. It provides for recruiting twenty thousand men to serve for twelve months. We hope it will meet the concurrence of the Senate at the earliest practicable day. - Such a force is absolutely nccssary for the safety of those portions of tbe State where Secession feel ings have taken such root that they must be exterminated. There are many citizens of Kentucky burning to join the ledoral army and assist in repelling tbe invaders, who are deterred from leaving their homes, because they would bo exposed to the ravages of thieving scoundrels, wno use tbe usurped authority of the Confederate States or the Provisional Government of Kentucky as the warrant tor the commission of every crime. Twenty thousand volunteers to defend the infected localities can be readily raised, and as many more will then be at liberty to fol low their inclinations and rally under the Stars and Stripes. A battalion in about one third of tbe counties of the State, acting in consort with each other, could be quickly concentrated at any desirable point, and thus free our citizens from any apprehensions of tbe raids ot Marshall or Williams, and put down any such incendiary tuorts as were made at Bigland last week. If Congress would permit f S many ot this torce to bnd their own horses as felt inclined, a celerity could be added to their movements which would greatly increase their elliciency Louiiville Journal. and cre dence an a the at test The will and. last Re formed the made tbe pub lications the with and sooke of every shall cents Genibal Scott on Board tbe Abauo.

General Fremont wrote to (said the member), laying that this was and, fcaeti apiQiittent tbe President Njo. ...in ...,-i. . . i.i had made- u 'Ii.t til' s Description of Ship Island. The correspondent of tbe Herald writes that, as the island wilt prohah'y play an Im portant part In tbe history of the rebellion of 1861, from its being 'the ba?o of extended nfletiBive operations in the Sjuth west, and will challenge the attention of the whole cuntff from tbe Interest which General Phelps' proclamation wrll give it, I shall try to give as deterged a dtsrription of the place and i's surroundings as nry own observations nd limited resources at band will affird Ship Island is situated in rorigitude 89 and tittle north of latitude 30, and is the prop erty of the State of Hiasinsippi It is about sixty miles from New Orleans, nearly the same distance from' the 'North-east Pass, at tbe mouth of the Mississippi River, forty miles from MoMle and ninety from Fjrt Pickens. It betweim Horn' Island on the east and Cat Island on the west, and is distant about five miles frnm cacb. Some ten or twelve mOss to tlx north, on tbe mainland af Mississippi, are the towns of imiexi, lascsgonla and MississIddv City. These towrw are favorite summer resorts for tba wealthy planters and merchants cf tbe Gulf Slates, and, in consequence of a b off their sbore, are now tba places of re fug s for rebel gunboat. MJip island is somewSat undulating, and extendB in a slight curve about seven miles east Dortn-eaBt and west sooth-west. At West Point (tbe western- end), where the fort is located, the ie'and is little more thao; an eighth of a mile wide, and Is a mere sanaS pit, utterly bnrrro of prHS or foliage of any kind. This eastern end, or E-tst Point, r about three-quarters of a mile in width, and' is well wooded with pine, cedir and live oak. The whole island Contains a fraction less- than two square miles of territory. Excel lent water can be obtained in unlimited sup ply ny eiuaing a oerrei any where on the place. Tbe great advantage-of tbis is too palpable to require- comment. W ben tbe rebels evacuated tbe island tbev left some thirty-six head of cattle. They are now grazing on the eastern end of the island, (they would starve to. deatb at West roint, unlets, as fomeboay suggested, tbey wete provided with green spectacles,) and are in a very fine condition. Besides the cattle, there are droves of hogs running about loose, and any quantity of raccoons. So numerous are the latter, that the sailors and marineB trom tne tort will tree ten or a dozen of them togo'her iu the day time, and then kill them with their cutlasses as they drive them down. Soldiers are not slow at following any such example, and already they have increased and varied their Gov ernnieit rations with the oily meat of this much-abused animal. Like most of tbe islands in this latitude. this place contains a pretty well assorted stock of leptlusand vermin, but with two- thousand men on so small an area, it will not be long before the alligators, snakes, and other "moist, nnpleasant bodies," will bid adieu to these scenes, and take an early ' train for that place where there are no armed men to molest or make them at raid. ,. At the western end of the island are sit uated tbe fort, light-house, and the few houses which escaped the incendiary efforts of the rebels. Tbe bouses consist of one good-.'lzed, well built brick house, which, afier considerable repairs, would make very comfortable head quarters for the com mander, ot an excellent hospital for the sick, and three or four huts for cooking-houses, kc. The light-house hns been a fine one, but the rebels bur.il iv so thoroughly, breaking the glass ana carrying off the lamp, that it is unsafe, and likaly to fall at any moment It is round, and built of stone. ,. The fort I describe at length in another place. The sand at West Point is ot a beautiful quality, and in tbe dim light or early morning or evening resembles, in the parity of its white ness, tbe spotless dints ol snow, which now cover the bills and valleys of New England. Coming suddenly upon deck before suuriae. tbe illusion is pertect, and one almost forgets that he is in a country where a frost is a seven years' wnder. But pleasant ai it is to look upon, it is wretched stun to waitt in; it is bo tort and aeep that a tire or six mile march is dreadfully exhausting. The island pofsetses a very superior har bor, into which nineteen feet cm be carried at ordinarily low water. It is eituat-ja North of the west end of the island. The anchorage, with water equal to the depth on the bar, is five miles long, and averages three aad quarter miles in width. The hacoas is site for tlwt most dangerous storms in tbe gulf those' from the eastward, southward and westward, southward arid might be eitsily entered during these storms without a pilot. it good ligbthonres were placed in proper positions. The" rise and fall of the tide is ot ly from twelve to fourteen inches. It one ot tbe results of this war sbouid be to make tbis Island an important place trade, the value of this harbor can not over estimated. It is the intention of the Government to occupy Ship Island with large force. A New Anne Hutchinson—Mrs Beecher's Congregation at Pittsburg. [From the Pittsburg (Pa.) Chronicle, December 13.] me I a a The ereat mass of our oeorle are innocent of the knowledge that a woman is now pas tor ot a small but growing congregation in Pittsburg, and is discharging tbe duties of tbe sacred oSice with a zeal and faithfulness worthy of imitation. We refer to Mrs. tJcecher, ot the vv inebrenarian Lihurch. Two months since this lady and a few of her followers rented the old Asbary Chapel, on Townsena street, near uol well-street, onto. ward, tor tne purpose or esuousuing a con gregation of their peculiar faith in this city. Meetings have been held every evening, for preaching, prayer and praise, and large audi ences have generally attended, moved more by curiosity, however, than by any other ftellng. The labors ot the Distor hare not ueen without their reward, for we are informed that she has now between thnty and torly communicants.

The WinebrcnarianB are little known; bat, though small in numbers, they are still en titled, we suppose, to recognition as one of tne many divisions into wuicu tue onnuuan Church is unhappily sundered. Their doc trines do not differ materially from other evangelical denominations. In worship they resemble the Methodists, but in cuurcn gov ernment and discipline the WInebrenarians are different from all others, in their leaving members generally to be governed by their own consciences in judging what Is right and wrong. The prime distinction of this denomination is their practice of "washing the feet ' betore the pulpit, in tne presence of the whole congregation. This peculiar rite they find ample warrant for in the holy Scriptures, and it is administered at the set times appointed for the Lord's Sapper, the women, oatumg uie ihiui tucu own ova, sod the men doing the same. to him the r A voung lady of California recently broke her neck while resisting the attempt of a young man to kisa her.
