THE MINNESOTIAN.
Thackeray,
Parke Godwin, of the X. V. Evening Post,
gives the following description of lliis famous
author aud lecturer, who i, now in New York,
as he saw and heard him upon a certain occa
sion :
-lit* was a tall, brawny man, with a full face,
clumsy, abrupt manner, carelessly dressed, his
head turning greyish, and with a guiet, saga
cious and rather good-humored face. I should
have said, without knowing him, that he was a
comfortable English gentleman and scholar,
and not a cynical philosopher. His voice was
agreeable and distinct, hut not loud, while
there (tas nothing ot the orator in his manner.
He merely read what he had to sav, as any well
educated man might read it. a little rapidly,
and. now and then with a dry, sarcastic inter
jection. as if it had just occurred. His empha
sis bus often misplace d. and his modulations of
voice unpleasant, while lie used no action.—
lint it was the matter of the lecturer which
lent its principal charm. Steele was the sub
ject, and he gave no hackneyed memoir of him:
no husks of statistics, no cold nnalvsis, hut a
living appreciation. The foibles of the man
were treated with a quiet, hut very telling sar
casm, which had no harshness in it': hut. on the
contrary, a sort of loving candor, willing to for
give, and yet forced to condemn.
The estimate he placed on the literary abili
ties of Steele was a just one, while his descrip
tions of his social qualities, and of his relations
to the sedate ami pure-minded Addison, rel
ished of the finest humor. His best hits, how
ever. were too nice and too quietly rendered to
produce anything like laughter or noisy ap
plause : but when they were uttered, every au
ditor looked round to’liis neighbor, and nodded
his head, as if to say : Wasn't that capital ? A
ticklish, creeping sensation, ton. often spread
over the frame, when lie briefly alluded—tho'
only by word—to the more desolate aspects of
the literary life, showing both tin* man of ten
der sensibility and consummate art. When he
closed, which lie did in the bluntest way, his
audience sat for some time, to see whether he
really had done*, or was going to begin again.
Alas! he was halt way home before some of
them left their scats/’

The Crescent City Difficulty— Letter from the
President.
On the If,th of November, the steamer Cres
cent City again visited Havana, with Purser
Smith on board. Tho mails ami passengers
were landed, but Smith was not permitted to
go on shore. On the eve of sailing. Captain
Havenport. U. S. N\. who had taken the place
of Captain Porter. T. S. X., received a note
from Messrs. Drake >V Co., consignees of the
steamer, enclosing a copy of one to them from
Martin Galiana. the political Secretary of the
Captain General, notifying them that the order
forbidding the entry of the Crescent City into
the port ot Havana, should that American
steamer have Mr. Smith on hoard, will be en
forced in future. Capt. Davenport wrote in re
ply to the consignees that Mr. Smith would re
turn in the ship, and the consequences, whatev
er they may be, the Spanish authorities will be
responsible for.
Tims stand the warnings and the threats.—
The Crescent City was injured on the trip so
that the ( herokec had to take her place the
last trip from New York. The ( herokee sailed
for Havana on the 27th. but without the United
States Mails, which were withdrawn by order
of the Government by Capt. Baxter. Purser
Smith was on board. The letter of President
Fillmore and the comments of the Republic on
the subject will be found below :
IV.ISIILVGTOX, Nov. 27.
Thu Intelligencer of iliis morning contains a
letter from ITo-itli nf Fillmore to Hugh Mux
well, Collector of Ihe Fort of New York, in an
swer to a letter from Mr. Maxwell inquiring
w hether Mr. George I.aw. the agent of the l r S
Mail SD amer. was right in persisting in the
sailing of said vessel to Havana—the Rending
out of Mr. Smith. Ac. The following is the r<>
ply of tlie President:
“I do not admit tlie right of Mr. Law, or any
other citizen, to threaten war on liis ow n ac
count, for (lie purpose of seeking redress for
real or imaginary injuries, and then to tall on
the Government, whether it approves or disap
proves of such conduct, and assumes its appro
bation, unless the act is forbidden.
“The Constitution of the United States has
vested ini ongross alone the power of declaring
war, and neither tin* Executive branch of the
Government nor Mr. Law can usurp the power
by commencing w ar without its authority ; and
if lie attempt* it. it will he iny duty, a* it is my
determination, to exert all tin* power conferred
on tho Executive Government by the Constitu
tion and laws to prevent it. lam resolved, at
every hazard, to maintain our rights, in this
controversy against Spain ; aud I am equullv
resolved that no act of our own citizens shall
be permitted to place this Government in the
wrifng.
."-Mr. Law has an undoubted right to pursue
his law ful business : but when the question is
raised between this Government and a foreign
power, as to whether the business he pursues is
law ful <>r pursued in a law ful manner, the deci
sion of that question belongs to the two Gov
ernments, and not to him. If the object be to
assert his right to enter the port of Havana
w ith such persons as he chooses to select, in de
fiance of the law and Government of Spain, he
lias certainly done enough to present that ques
tion for tlie decision of the Governments of the
1 nited States and Spain, ami the negotiation
has already commenced, and our rights, as I
understand, have been asserted, and. as I said
before, will be maintained : but the acts of this
Government cannot be controlled by the inter
ference of any individual : and it is certain, if
Mr. Law repeats these attempts for the purpose
of settling this controversy, and in so doing vi
olates tin* laws of a foreign nation within its
own jurisdiction, anil thirdly loses or forfeits
his vessel, he can expect no indemnity for such
an act of folly from this Government.
“IV e regulate the terms and conditions upon
w hich all foreign vessels enter our ports ami fix
the penalties for violating our laws, and the
right to do so we shall never suffer to be ques
tioned by foreigners, and we do not question
theirs to do the same thing. NVe must wait the
result of the negotiations between the two Gov
ernments.
“This is a question not to be settled by him
and Cuba, nor between the United States and
Cuba, but between the United States anil Spain,
which alone is responsible for the conduct of
the Government of Cuba.
“I write in some baste. a« the mail is about
closing, but you are at liberty to make known
the contents of this letter to Mr. Law. and in
form him that as a good citizen. 1 presume he
will not attempt any violation of our neutrality
laws by attacking Cuba.
MILLARD FILLMORE.’’
The Republic, commenting upon this letter,
says that Mr. Law. on lieing apprised of the
contents of this letter, replied that his intention
in relation to making war on Cuba, was a mis
understanding. It also announces that Daven
port has been removed—that no other officer of
the navy will Ik* permitted to enter the service
of the Company so long as the managers adhere
to the present practices, converting visits of
vessels into sources of annoyance to Spanish
authorities. With a view to preventing a rep
etition of injuries which the failure to deliver
Havana maiU will inflict on mercantile classes.
the P. M. General has directed that mails shall
not again be despatched in the Crescent City or
any other Company steamer, which may have
Purser Smith on board, tint will be sent by ihe
steamer Isabella. Therefore, if Law chooses to
retain Purser Smith, the steamer will be strip
ped of her official character and patronage.—
Government is resolved to fulfil the obligations
which it owes to citizens of the United States
and Spain to the extent of its powers, to cruru
every attempt to compromise the peace exist
ing between the two countries, whether bv a
Lopez expedition, or disguised under pretence
of lawful business, us in the case of the Crescent

Value ot Railroads to Farmers.
Some farmers have u strange and most un
reasonable prejudice against Railroads, where
as there is no class of the community more
lienefitted by them. Tlie cereal products of a
farm at a considerable distance from a market
are almost valueless, when ordinary roads have
to be depended upon, and the value of the land
is therefore comparatively small; but let a
railroad be constructed near by, and it brings
the farmer to his market, enhances the price of
his productions, and increases the value of his
land. A late number of the American Railroad
Journal has illustrated this by a table showing
the value of a ton of w heat and corn at given
points from from market, as affected by the
cost of Railroad transportation, which’ will
convince any intelligent farmer of the vast
lienefils to him of Railroad improvements. I
It is well known, says the Railroad Journal,
that upon the ordinary highways the economi
cal limit to transportation is confined within a
comparatively few miles, depending of course
upon the kind of freight and character of tie
roads. Upon the average ot such ways, cost of
transportation is not far from fifteen cents per
mile, which may be considered as a sufficiently
correct estimate for an average of the country.
Estimating at the same time the value of wheat
at SI fit) per bushel, and corn at 7."> cents, and
that fill bushels of each are equal to a ton, the
value of the former would he equal to its cost
of transportation for 330 miles, and the latter
105 miles. At these respective distances from
market, neither of the above articles would
have any commercial value, w ith only a com
mon earth road as an avenue to market.
Rut we find that wo can move property upon
Railroads at the rate of 1.. j cents per ton per
mile, or for one-teuth tlie cost upon tho ordina
ry road. These works therefore extend the
economic limit or the cost of transportation of
the above articles to 3,300, and 1,0.50 miles res
pectively. At the limit of the economical
movement of these articles upon tlie common
highway, by the use of Railroads, wheat would
be worth 5M4 .50. and corn $22 27. which sum
respectively would represent the actual increase
of value created by the interposition of such a
work.
The following table will show tho amount
saved per ton by transportation by Railroad,
over tin* ordinary highways of the country.

one of corn, at given points from market as

It w ill be seen that the value of lands are af
fected by Railroads in the same ratio us their
products. For instance: lauds lying upon a
navigable water course, or in the immediate vi
cinity of a market may be worth for the culture
of wheat SIOO. Let the average cjop tie esti
mated at twenty-two bushels to the acre, valu
ed at $33. aud the cost of cultivation at sls.
this would leave $lB per acre as the net profit.
This quantity of wheat (two-thirds of a ton)
could he transported Jso miles at a cost of one
cent per mile, or $3 30, which would leave 1
sl4 70as the net profit of land at that distance ;
from a market, when connected with it by a
Railroad. Tbe value of tlie land, tnerefore, ‘
admitting the quality to he the same in both
cases, would h<*ar tin* same ratio to the assum
ed value of SIBO, as the value of its products.
sl4 40. does to $lB or SB2 per acre ; which is
an actual creation of value to that amount, as
suming the correctness of the premises. The
same calculation may of course be applied
with equal force to any kind aud species of
property.
The following story lias been well told before,
but it is good enough to tell again :
It is well known that Mr. Webster was a keen
sportsman. When he went out gunning it was
his frequent practice to wander alone in search
of birds to a considerable distance from home,
anil to places where he was quite unknown.—
On one of these occasions, as he was shooting
on a piece of ground covered with swamps, ami
with many creeks ruening through it. two dan
dy sportsmen thus accosted him : “Here, old
chap, we can't get over this creek ; if you'll
carry us over on your back, we'll give you a
quarter apiece.” “Done,” said tbe person thus
accosted : and forthwith he carried them across,
one after the other. “There's your money,”
said one of them ; “ you seem like a smart old
feller, w hat's your name ?” “Daniel Webster,”
was tbe reply. The youths looked at him, saw
such was the case, and apologized. “Never
mind," remarked Daniel, “you're not the first
fools I've got out of difficulty, hut I'll keep
your quarters as a curiosity.” And it is said
they form a portion of tho private cabinet of
curiosities at Marshfield.
The extent of Parson Drown low's influence
in Knoxville, Tenn.. may Ik* inferred from the
fact that his ticket—the Webster ticket—re
ceived precisely one vote. It cannot be hard
to say who gave it.
Latest from Yaxkekoom: —lt is said that a
down-caster recently packed up a cargo of
snow and sold it in South Carolina for salt.—
This licats the nutmeg trade some.

would be extremely faint.

Thursday. N'..v. 4, was fixed by the French
monarch for tlie assembling of the’Senate, whose
proceedings, ratified by a popular vote, which
in its turn will be canvassed by the Legislative
Body, will convert the quondam Republic into
a legitimate Empire and its master into the an
nointed Cesar of that peculiar people whose
boast is to lead civilization and thought of the
world. It is usually supposed that the procla
mation of this change in names and titles will
take either on the 2d of December, the
anniversary of the day when the National As
-1 stmbly was overthrown, or on the 10th of that
month, the anniversary of Napoleon’s first elec
tion to ihe Presidency. But our well informed
London Correspondent states that (he ceremo
iiv w ill be postponed almost till New Year. This
is well. A day unique iu history cun afford to
scorn all association with other epochs. Let it
I stand by itself.
i Tbe parade of a journey through tbe South
; ern Provinces, and a reception at Paris prece
ding this last leap of Napoleonic ambition, has
certainly revealed a deluge of fiunkeyism lit to
adorn that glorious period of French history
when gentlemen, whose pedigree dated long
I«*tore Charlemagne, could write fo solicit for
their young and lovely daughters the honor of
a place in the seraglio of a crowned aud conse
crated debauchee; but it lias also had its indica
tions of nunly indignation and honest popular
j imhtlcrence and dislike. The pageant, whose
I enthusiasm rolled through the pompous paru
i graphs of th.* official journals, was often tint the
forced creation of the Police; the groups of white
robed maidens that at city gates, w ith flowers
and singing, welcomed this patent savior of order
, and society, were compelled to that service as
: conscripts are driven into tlie army, and the
; banners and decorations flaunting with hvpocri
tical expressions of joy and gratitude, were in
many though not in all eases, but the tribute of
Tear extorted by the omnipotent commissaries of
the Government. For the expenses of the Paris
show, we learn that a tax was imposed even on
poor huckster women in the markets, who sadly
paid their twenty or forty cents under pain of
being expelled from their stalls!
A signiticant augury for the permanence of
the new empire is the fact that it is thus based
ou'a system of universal intimidation and terror.
Such compression must in time have its counter
spring. The power which dares not face public
opinion must look some day fo perish by its ex
’ plosion. Hypocrisy, corruption and violence
: may endure for a time, but they bear on their
front the date of their own demise. Reared
from such beginings. with no purpose and no in
spiration but that of personal ambition and base
and dishonest selfishness, w ith no glory but tlie
exhalations from a grave that entombs the direst
disasters and the greatest downfall of modern
times, where is the fresh made Emperor to lay
for his throne and his dynasty a foundation sol
id enough to resist even for u day, the rushing
currents of popular necessity, the withering blast
of popular scorn ?
There is one way in which he may do this, one
way in which lie may redeem his name from the
awful clouds of shame and of crime that threaten
to bury it in infamy eternal. Let him use the
power of which In* has swindled France for
France's benefit. Let him reduee the army and
take off the mountain of taxation thnt depresses
the masses into slavish poverty. Let him uliol-
I isli the unnatural legislation which governs the
■ inheritance and transfer of land. Let him re
form the mortgage system and obliterate the
thousand monopolies, great and little, like that
| of banking for instance, which fetter the indus
: try and hinder the natural development of the
country. In a word, let hin emancipate the
internal trade and make the beginningof a nat
ural system of government, and he may yet lie
bailed a benefactor of bis country, and establish
his successors as the holders of its Executive
pow< r for long years to come.
Rut there is not the slightest reason to antici
pate from him unykind of measures such as these.
His object hereafter, as it lias been hitherto,
will be himself and his family as a part of him
self. Four years’incessant intrigue and agita
tion. general massacres and faeticious ovations
have made him Emperor. A pitiful fool! after
so long pursuing th** phantom of a low and mean
son led ambition, it is impossible that he should
now devote himself to noble ends. His next
delusion will be the settling ofliis dynasty and
eternizing of his title and his race. In that
work lie will perish nsliis uncle and Louis Phil
ippe perished before him. Such men can never
learn the lesson of true greatness.
Wo presume tiic majority for the Empire will
bo greater even than either of those which the
French people have already recorded in favor
of the same individual. There is no good rea
son to vote against him in defiance of official hos
tility and persecution. The best that the French
democrats can w isely do in the case* would seem
to In* to obstaiu from voting at all, aud let the
act Ik* done without them. The change is, after
all, of Little; consequence. The laws will lie no
severer, nor tlie interference of the authorities in
private affairs more intolerable, nor personal
liberty subjected to any new curtailments; for,
indeed, these tilings cannot tic made worse than
they are. Napoleon will be addressed as‘*Sire”
and “Your Majesty" instead of “l’rincc” and
“Monseignenr his Court will lie more splen
did,and tlie Paris shop-keeper better patronized;
there will he a new crop of princes and other
nobility: but that will be all. It is a mere play,
this putting on of titles and of gew-gaws; the
reality it stands for has existed long,—nay, in
France, under one form or another, it has never
ccascil to exist. Let us hope that it may now be
effectually and definitely acted out and done
for.
Before the advent of this man, there was one
name which yet w ore a prestige and exercised
a great influence in France. The Bourbons of
both younger and elder branches, hail destroyed
themselves, hut the name ofNAfotAiox still sway
ed the imagination of tbe people. And it did
this because it represented a great man. the hero
of a mighty career. It had become a politcal
Hiipcrsition. The modern Napoleon,—a small
man, the hero of a career mean even in itscrimes
and its adventures, —is destroying it. That ser
vice he will certainly render to his country. At
the same time he is a terror to the legitimate
monarch* of the continent. In their eyes he is
but a democratic upstart and bodes them ill.
In shaking aud overturning their power he may,
perhaps, also render a service. ....
A striking illustration of historic justice is
seen in the elevation of the new Emperor. Na
poleon divorced Josephine that lie might have
a son of his own to wear his crown after him.
That divorce was bis ruin, and his child sleeps
in an Austrian grave. And now this grandson
of Josephine, hut liastard Bonaparte—in whose
veins there runs notoriously no drop of Bona
irortc blood —sits upon the throne from which
she was repudiated. Thus does Time pour con
tempt upon the name and the fame of the Con
queror. and bitterly aveuge the wrongs of the
Woman. It is a fact to which those who specu
late on the symliolic meaning of events may
easily attach a universal signiliernce.
A female, in male attire, attempted to vote
in New York at the Presidential election. Her
smooth face suggested a glaace -beneath her
