MT AH lettera, whether upon buaineas or otherwise, mnat be addresaed to ; W II 1TMORE BROTHERS, Publiahera and Proprietor. Henry J. Bajrmond. When, at the rommencement of the present session of Congress, it wan the tiirthion with some of our Conservative friends ta laud thin little demagogue as a becoming pattern of Republican modera tion, your correspondent, from a thorough knowledge of the man's insincerity, pre dicted that before the session was over hie eulogists would have occasion to re gret (heir precipitancy. That prediction ie more than verified in his course on the plan of the Central Directory to keep out the South till after tbe nert Presidential election. . Raymond spoke against it, and then went and voted for it . His chop ping and changing disgust even the Itad icals of his own district", while honeet men of everv Domical fail h Heartily den pise him. It is a Bhame that New York should be so misrepresented, hut iu the next Congress the grievance will be rec tified. Macter Kavmontf will have per mission to stay ai home nud edit the Times. He never would have got into the rump L'oncres even, but tor the foolish division in the Democratic ranks just such a division as enabled that other Radical jumping jack, Wm. E. Dodge, in the eighth district, to elbow out Hon. James -Brooks. The crobabili ties at present are that there will be no such division r.ext fall, and thnt therefore the Jacobins who bought nnd stole their war into the canitol, as if from this city. will no more be heard of after the rnmp Congress has executed its mission. ' Queen Victoria and the Fenians. A London correspondent of the New York Tribune writes: 1 An 'nteresting anecdol. of tin) Queen's humanity and attachment to her army has just come to my knowledge. 1 00 mav have noticed tn the news from Ire land the trial of a Sergeant Darragh for Fcninnism, of which he was found guilty and sentenced to be shot. When the warrant was brought to the Queen for signature, her consent was urgently soli cited on the ground of the necessity ot making an example, and at length ob tained, though she burst into tears in the act of according it. Within an hour af terwards she sent for the warrant agnin and tore it to pieces and God bless her Cor U I The act will eflect more towarda extirpating Fenianism in the ranks if it exists there than all the constables, spies, lawyers, judges and hangmen with in the fair seas of Britain could do. A Kotable Pedestrian, A St. Lonis paper, referrintr ta the ex pected arrival of Mr. F. Schaefer, a noted German foot-traveler, in that city, from La Crosse, Wisconsin, says: He is now about thirty years of age, considerably deformed, but of an entho siasticminri. lie was born in Carlshafen, in Eurbesscti, and at the age of nine years became so interested in the study of history that he determined to see tbe world himself.. He wsvt poor, but this did not deter him. His first trip on foot and alone, with no money, and no biggage save what his knapsack con tained, was in 1817, when he was very young, and continued through the Mer man States and Russia. Afterwards he continued on through Europe to Qrent Britain, and thence into and through that country. Not Ions since be came to the United States, landing in Boston, traveling on foot to Washington, and from that city west He goes from St Louis across the country, through tub, to California. - Schaefer is feeling well, and enjoys bis migratory habits exceed ingly elL His ambition seems to be to travel over every part ot the globe on foot, and he bids fair to accomplish that object now. His expenses are very small, and these are made np to him by friends whom he makes wherever be goes His portfolio contains, among other things, the autographs of crowned heads, distinguished literary, scientific and political men, wherever he has been, and is a curiosity, with sketches and testimonials, which have been given him by all be has met. The energy of the man entitles him to success in his travels. Sea. Joseph E. Johnston. ' " The Selma Messenger, of the 13tb, says the stockholders of the Alabama end Tennessee Rivers Railrond 'yester day ananimooslr elected Gen. Joseph E. Johnston President of that road. There were others who had claims, nnd strong ones, to the presidency of the road, but they were promptly and generouslr waived in favor of this distinguished soldier' and gentleman. There is no doubt whatever of Gen. Johnston's ac ceptance of the position thus flatteringly tendered him, and we may safely con gratulate this Company tipon having en listed his eminent Ulents in the prosecu tion of their great enterprise of connect ing the Lakes and th Golf. Tbe city of Selma also may wU be proud of hav ing thus added the honored Jiatne of Joseph E. Johnston to the morter-roll of her citiiens. . ib. I j Jii I J u Jli M J ;.iu litil J !i I ; , LARFJT CITY MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, TUESDAY EVENING, MAYX22, SW. Samuel Sogers and Henry Ilrke White. It may be emphatically said of Rogers, that the -distinguishing features of his mind are elegance) and good taste. No criticism however astute can convict him of anachronism or hyperbole. He is strictly correct. No stray roses hang redundantly about his poetic wreaths. The fault is, -that art rather than nature guides their arrangement As we vainly seek in the cultured pasture, wild wood traces of the forest, so shall we explore with profifleas core the writings of Samuel Rogers, if flights of original genius and bold, strong thoughts are the rewards demanded by our zeal. ' If sorrow and song are UBiiftlly assbel ftted--if novertv ond the mnse are.frc. quent companions, aa is generally be lieved, then Mr. Rogers is a fortunate exoeption to thcrule; An affluent banker, with a comfortable aspect of ease and good living, he yet woos the muse " con amore," and has won, in hours of relaxa tion from less exalted pursuits, the poet's . laurels as well as the scholar s lame, .k he friendship of Sheridan and Kvron could be shared by no common man, and the dedication of one of the most splendid poems of the last named great poet is sunicient eviaence 01 nis lorusnip s au miration of Rogers. Windham and Fox were also his intimate associates. The author of " Iuily never rises to the hight of Byron or Campbell, not be ing endowed with their enthusiasm or grasp of intellect, but his pictures are nevertheless lite-like and beautiful. High bred and debonaire in deportment, his hospitality is unbounded, and he dis covers warm interest in all that promotes the good of his fellow-meti. Reverse the picture, and we see a pale, thoughtful, intellectual face, with an expression at once ingenuous, modest and subdued. This is Henry Kirke White, whose early years were dedicated to the stocking loom, and of whom one of his teachers declared that he could make nothing. Sapient teacher I well qualified,, indeed, for his callinz. When reviewinethe early history, trials and irrepressible genius of this remarkable and gittea oaru, wnnse brilliant career was shortened by misfor tune, bnt who has'left irrefragable proof of mental and moral greatness, we are tempted to ask : Why, stern misfortune, dost thou shed Thy chilling blight on early fame I When genuis bows the drooping head, Yet can no kind eompasaiun claim Y j The same sentiment is beautifully ex pressed by Mrs. Norton : " Oh, there if new! for permanent belief In the all-eiual worm 01 nie to come. Ele Wiiuid our erring fancy blindly roam. And ask. with all a heathen's discontent. " Why joy's bricht cup fur some should spark ling fnara. While others. U"l le.-s worthy, still lament. -An.lnml ibe cup ot tenrs their only portion aeut?" There ore deep melancholy and des pondency blent with noble strains of el oquence, discoverable in those records of heart and mind, bequeathed us by the bard of Nottitigliuin so touching in their unmistakable application -so dreary in their resistless influence! This has been esteemed a fault by some tiny, we bove heard good judges of poetry, with hearts responsive to all that is grand, pathetic and beautiful, condemn sadness in verse why? Because they have themselves achieved success, and wailing notes are not in nccordnnce with Ihe temper of their minds. Poor Henry", with nil his great powers, was obliged to Reek pntronage The name of a great lady was prefixed to his first published poeras; alns, they fell un heeded from the press. The reviewers that remorseless nnd autocratic clique dismissed him with thrusts which rankled in his sensitive heart, blasted his health, sowed the seeds of death in his corporeal organization, but could not dim the glo ries of a mind which rose superior to poverty, oppression, the arrogance of place, the false dogmas of professional criticism. He died, and died young, overborne by a tide of adverse fortune, and the almost superhuman efforts which he made in the acquisition of knowledge which he loved for its own. sake, and punned with death-defying energy. No nobler or more effective illustration o! his genius can be offered by any com. mentatorthan that which he himself has left in the following lines, doubtless already familiar to our readers: " When marshaled on the mighty p ain, Tbe glittering bot bestud Ibe sky ; One atar alone of all tbe train. Can fix tbe sinner's wann'rinf eye. " Ilark I hark I to Ood tba akorua break F rom every host, from every gnm t lint one alone, the Saviour, arenk,, It la the star of Bethlehem. . " Once on the raging .eas I rode. The storm waa loud 1L0 nigi.t w.n dark. The oeean yawned and rudely hlowed, Tbe wind that toa-'d my foundering bark. "Deep horror then my vilola frnie, Death-struck, I ceased tbe tide to stem : -When suddenly a Mar arose It was tbe star of Bethlehem ! " It waa my gnide. my lUhl, my all. It barte my oar loremwing eeise: And through tbe stone and dinger'' thrall, It led me to the port of peace. ' Now safely moor 'd my ieril'a o'. r. I'll sing, first in night a diadem. Forever, and forever more Tbe atari tbe atar of Bethlehem!" v A Specimen Church Radical In his address to the General Assem bly (O. S.), Thursday afternoon, the Moderator, Dr. Stanton, referring to dif ferences of opinion in that body, npon " vital questions," nsed these words : " That rebellious defiance of lawful authority which has racked the nation to its foundations during four years of war, still rages within the precincts where it was born, the Chnreh of God." In what terms shall such an assertion, so utterly void of even the semMnnee of truth, he fitly characterized? How poorly does any professional zeal for the ''troths of the Bible" tally with such recklessness of statemeut as is here ex hibited! SI Limit Rrpvblican Aid to Sufferers ' The New Orleans Times of yesterday says: The prompt and generous action of Gen. Baird, m sending relief to the suf ferers in the overflowed region, is worthy of the highest praise. Yesterday wc an nounced that he had rent fifty barrels of flour and twenty barrels of pork to the sufferers by way of the Opelousas Rail road, and we norr lenrn, through John Lombard, Esq , that fifty additional bar rels of flour and ten of pork were sent last evening to Lafourche, to the care of Tuttle & Bevan, Pinquemine. Twentv barrels of the flour and four of the p,.rk are to be distributed at Rosedale, for the lower part of Groe Tele and Maangoia, i Iberville, bv the F.er. John Philson and 1 Me. H. R Slack, and the remainder, for ! Laronta and Tordorhe. br the F.er John A. Str-ylie and Mr. A. B. 'Thompson, ! illtCtMTIO.V. Secretary Chase's Soo-in-taw. . The Washington correspondent of the Com mereia I thus speaks of the son-in-law of Secretary Chase. He says : Thot overruling Providence, without whose volition even a sparrow cannot fall to tbe ground, may have had a bene ficent and wise purpose in view in send ing the Hon. Wm. Sprague (" Little Spraguey" they call him in the report era gallery, and when he rises to orte they say he " speaks his little pieeey " ) to the Senate. It is more easy, however, to account by natural causes for Ihe fail of a sparrow than for the election of Sprague.. A brick or n shot gun will produce the former result, by the opera tion of - the laws of gravitation, and Providence does not so much will I lie decease of the poor bird as to refuse to suspend the laws of natnre in response to which the- feathered tribe yield to the pressure of a brick or the force of a buckshot In thecase of Spra gne's elec tion, the object so far must be n matter of faith, which is, we are reliably in formed, the evidence of things not seen and the substance of things hoped for. Mr. Sprague is the youngest man in the Senate, and the smallest in physical, as well as mental, stature There is ft boyish look and air about him, and he is, withal, a handsome man, the cynosure of female eyes, and the focus of innumer able opera-glasses. He looks good-humored Iy at the world through a pair of glasses which give him thn appearance of a college student, or an inspiring curate in the penultimate stage of his divinity course. He seldom addresses the Senate, and then- invariably from carefully prepared manuscript, and not (infrequently in such s stumbling and hesitating manner as to cause his audit ors to wonder that he is not more familiar with Chief Justice Chase's handwriting,, which, it is proper to remark, is very bard to decipher. ' This distinguished Senator from Rhode Island made an announcement the other day that may be said tn have put the po litical world on tip-toe of expectancy. He proclaimed himself in favor of "man hood suffrage" in tho District of Colum bia, and said that when a bill having this purpose in view was introduced, he would demonstrate that, by conferring the right of suffrage npon the colored population here, Congress would go fur towards solving the problem of recon struction. . Subduing a Prisoner by Chloroform. ' The Cleveland Herald gives an 'nc count of the execution of h murderer, named Cooper, n! Ravenna, Ohio, on the 27th of April. He had made pevernl desperate nttmnpts to escape, and when the sheriff came to shackle him, he swore that no flne phoutd enter tho coll, and that tbe irons should never go on him while he was alive. He was perfectly wild with excitement His eyes glis tened through the barred door like those (A' an infuriated tiger. Ile raved ai.d tore around his cell like A madman, cursing and swearing in the most blas phemous manner. The sheriff found that it would be impossible to confine him without considerable nsi stance. He, therefore, called in several prominent men of the town to consult as tn the best course to be pursued. Among them w is Dr. D. B. Jennjngs, who proposed thnt chloroform should be used 10 subdue the enraged murderer. : It was at first objected t by fotnc, j bnt Drs. Keyes and Graham being con- suited, it was decided that that was the ; only means ot accomplishing tne de sired end. Two large syringe wore pro cured that would each hold about one pound of the subtle fluid They were filled with the chloroform, a bed quilt procured to place over the grnting of the ce'.I door, and, after everything was prepared, the contents of one of the syringes were discharged in the cell, and luckily struck Cooper full in the face. He was some what taken aback by this novel proce dure, and told them to conje on with their doctors' stuff, but they would never subdue him in that manncY A second discharge of the chloroform I'.dcc svrinffe. however, did the work. In less than four minutes from the time of the first injection of the chloro form, the raging man was quiet, and sank down on the floor, perfectly help less. The sheriff and his assistants took him out into the corridor of the jail, where the manacles were placed on his legs and arms. In about fifteen minutes he revived, hut the deed was done and he was unable to do further harm As sonn ns he became able to spenk and move, he raised his manacled hands, and said, with a wicked oath, "Gentlemen, yon have showed a good deal of wit, but yon are a set of cowards." This took place on Wednesday. He waa hung on the following Friday. A Sponge Bath Kendall, of the New Orleans Viramtue relates the following, which occurred in his presence recently, at Baden, in iier manv: "At this juncture we were joined by an English party, when the subject matter brought under discussion was bathing. "I take a cold shower bath every morning when at home,'' said John Bull " So do I," retorted Brother Jonathan. "Winter and summer," con tinued the Englishman. " My system exactly." responded the Yankee. "Is Jour weather and water cold Y' inquired ohn BulL "Right chilly," continued Jonathan. "How cold?" in'iired John. So cold that tbe water all freeze as it pours down my back and rattles upon the floor in tbe shape of hail!" responded the Yankee, with the same running twinkle of the eye. " Were yon in thp next room to me, in America, he con- tinued, " and could hear me ai I am ink- . ing my shower-bath of a morning, you would'think I was pouring dry beans npon my bark." The Englishman shrug ged his shoulders, ai with a chill, nnd I marveled. Cheap lalt ia Abundance . . On Petit Anse Island, in the snuthern part of Louisiana, there is a bed of rock salt cowing over cnt hundred aers. which, during the late war, siupplc! ner.rly the whtie of the trans-Mi.si-vpr;i district.
