woule ttrire, then, to raiae civtalf to tbit point of the
Divine covtrmpUtion. and thence to viaw and Judge
tbeconc rntof men.**
If this statr of equality existed in tie I'nitcd
States, it would . lerit the enloginm bestowed up
on it by the philosophic De Tocqueville. But men
rite and fall, and fortune* shift in America like
the changeful hue* of a kaleidoscope Whilst po
litical equality U secured to all, social equality U a
thing an unknown in this Republic a* in a despot,
isni. All our large cities exhibit the spectacle of
a few towering fortunes, and of "a toiliug multi.
tude, willing but uuabie to earn the means of com
fortable subsistence. Whilst we have no recog"
nized aristocratic orders, such as exist in other
countries, and are capable of leading aHd enlight
ening public opinion, we have, at least, in our
Northern States, the vilest of all distinctions, that
which is founded upon the mere possession of
wealth, and has no regard to either intellectual or
moral merit. It is very doubtful whether, if the
great Dr. Johnson were alive, and should visit
New York, be would receive a., much considera
tion from its "upper ten," as he diu from the mo
narch of Groat liritain; or whether Milton, ltums,
or Shakspeare, would be looked upon in the aris
tocratic circles uf that city, as equal to some vul
gar upstart who had mad* a fortune by the most
sordid or even immoral traffic. Just as likely or.
not. the king* of the Koglish tongue would be el
bowed from the pave by mushroom nabobs, who
can't write their own names correctly.
Social equality is an impossibility, unless all
men can become equally intelligent and refined;
bat, larely, of all despicable and unnatural ari*.
tocracies, that which is based alone upon wealth,
and affects superiority over virtue and talent in
poor estate, is the most degrading, irrational and
demoralizing.
Tlip IMrehniiie*' Inktitutr.
ft is to be hoped that our citizens will not be
lukewarm in their responses to the efforts which
the mechanics of Richmond are now making for
the erection of a suitable hall. Let us have an edi*
lice which will afford every convenience to the
noble purposes of the Mechanics' Institute. See
what Baltimore has achieved in the Mechanics'
Institute of Maryland, the noblest monument in
the City of Monuments, to the liberality, good
taste and sagacity of that wide awake people. It
is, as every body knows, to mcchauical skill and
industry chiefly, and not to commercial enterprise,
that Baltimore owes her astonishing growth and
immense prosperity. We profess, in Virginia, to
be vastly afraid of Baltimore; we are constantly
on tho alert to prevent her from topping our pub
lic works; we attribute much of our own short
comings to Baltimore's powers of absorption.—
But, the truth is, we are the authors of cur own
misfortunes We turn our backs upon those hum
ble, but unfailing springs of prosperity which have
caused Baltimore to flourish like a green bay tree
we have not her practical spirit, laborious habits,
lior dominating will and energy. ]Vurk is the on
ly panacea for the ills we suffer from ■ we must
dignify lab»r and make it honorable ; we must
work ourselves, and encourage all who work,
whether with the head or hands—nay, we must
nnite the head with the hands, or our mechanical
labor in Virginia will never producc its legitimate
result*. This is what the mechanics of Richmond
are seeking to accomplish. They invoke their fel
low citizens to aid them in an object which, iinpor
taut as it is to the mechanic* individually, is of far
greater importance to the interests of the city and
State. Richmond has extraordinary facilities for
becoming a great manufacturing and mechanical
town. Let her raise up a class of workmen worthy
of her position and advantages, and she will be
come the great work shop of the Southern States.
The people of the State and of the South will no
longer be compelled to send their money North, as
they do now, for almost every article of use in
the household and the field. They will keep tht-ir
money here, and thus, as they build up their me
chanic*, build up also their owu strength and
prosperity.
Cnrljrle on Congress.
In ene of Carlyle's Litter Day Pamphlets he
thus refers to an American Congress :
" Cnly perhaps in the United States, which a'one
of countries can do without governing— eveiy man
being at least able to live, and move ori into the wil
derness, let Congress jargon as it will—can such a
li>rm of so called ' Jovernnient' continue for any
length of time to torment men with the semblance,
when the indispensable substance is uot there. For
America, as the citizen) well know, is an ' unparal
led country'—with muds.il enough and tierce sun
enough, in the Mississippi Valley alone, to grow In
dian com for the extant posterity of Adam at this
time; what otlar country ever stood in such a case ?
'Speeches to bunkum.' and a constitutional battle of
t ie Kilkenny ca's, which io other countries are be
c ming tragical and unendurable, insy there still fall
oifW the comical pa'egorv. If, indeed, America
should ever experience a higner ca'l, as is likslv, and
begin to feel diviner wants than that of Indian corn
abundant bacon and irolasses, and unlimited
scope for ail citizens to hunt dollars—America, too,
will find that caucus's, division lists, stamp oratory
and speeches to Hunkum will not carry men to the
immortal gods; thst the Washington Congress, and
constitutional battle of Kilkenny cuts.there as here,
are naught for such objfcts; quite incompetent for
such; and in fine that said sublime cons ituttonal ar
rangement will require to be (with terrible throes
and travail such ai few exp»ci yet) remoddled,
abridged extended, suppressed; toin asunder, put to
gether again; not without heroic leti-r, and effort
quite otberthan that ot'the Stump-Oiator and the
Revival f reacher, cue day."
We commend thefts iiusintnesses of Carlyle,
which are not without truth and point, to those
members of the present Ceugress. who seem to
think that they have the world in a sling and the
1' uion in their breeches pockets. Congress is not
half so dangerous a body as it thinks itself. The
United States can do icituout governing, and if
Congress should dissolve itself into the air, and not
meet again for ten years, the country could easily
spare it,and would save much per diem. Kay,if Con
gress should dissolve the Union, we doubt whether
the l uion would be dissolved. If there is any ob
serviug and dispassionate member of Congress, he
may perceive, by getting up early some flue morn,
ing, that the fussing and fretting Congressional tea
pot is not that great ocean, the Ainerieau people,
which spreads in solemn majesty from Canada to
the Bio Grande, and which cannot be moved from
its propriety by the bursting *f all the teapots and
teakettles that ever were tossed by tempests.
Vikuima Coitcr.—'The Cranberry Copper
mines near HUUville, Ya., are yielding five tons
of ore p«r week, and working fifteen men. The
Wild Cat mine employs sixteen men and yields six
tons of ore per week. At the Ann Pbipps mines
eighteen hands are employed and six tons of cop
per raised weekly. A lump of ore has been taken
eat of tfcb last turned mine weighing VWOO pounds
and worth WOO.
QCaraktike.—Strict quarantine is now In ope
ration, at Charleston, Savannah, Norfolk, and most
other porta, South. New Orleans, we believe, U
*U exception
New York aatf Manaachaaetta.
A Bo«ton jonrnal, eaaftndtag ta regard to the
respective merit* of New \orkyuid Boeton, aak«:
"W'bere are the great men of IfIJW Tork! What
h*» it ever done or aald that wa* 5 great, noted «»r
national > What character baa it got in any
wayT
It u not our desire to Interpol in thla intereat
tag family quarrel. liowarar, Tl would act ba
bard for the K. Y. jonrnallcti to retort. They
might aak where are the great mea of Boaton i—
They might inquire whether the
Law and the Maaaachasatti Legi»latnre are •• in-
ousel y and superlatively "national" aa to entitle
Kanachusetta to (fire herself airs, over other peo
ple, and especially State* which, like New 1 ork
iave never nullified. They might demand to know
whether Senator Wilsen ia a fair specimen of Bos
ton refinement, or Senator Sainner of Massachn
letta manhood and troth! As to great men, the
New Yorken might point to Alexander Hamilton,
who wan a greater man than Daniel Webster —
True .Hamilton was not a native of New ork,
neither waa Webster of Massachusetts. De Witt
Clinton and Robert Fnlton, however, were natives
of the Empire State. Can MaasacbuaetU point to
their equals? Then, if we go into the department
of total political depravity, can Massachusetts pro
duce a greater rascal than Seward J We donbt it.
WiUon and Sumner are some pumpkins In the
way of political corruption, but mere imps to the
head devil of New York abolitionism.
The Drought.
Yesterday there were watery clonds flying over
the city; but they vouchsafed not a drop for the
parched earth hereabouts. There seemed to be
rain atadistance, aoutbeastwardly from us. We
do not remember when tbo James riTer was lower<
and when we ware deduced to so low a supply of
water for all purposes. We learn from very vene
rable and observant gentlemen, that for thirty
past it has failed to rain on the Jirnt Saiur
da] in August only twice! This is encouraging.
So if we have cot some grateful showers befor*
Saturday, we may confidently hope for them on
thai cUiy.
Sentenced to Death.—We learn by a letter
from Benicia, California, that Mr. Beverly T.
Wells, formerly of Richmond, who killed Dunn at
that place, in an affray, has been sentenced to be
executed. The act, according to the publications
at the time of its occurrence, was the result of
au attack on Wells by Dunn and another man, nud
was alleged to be in self defence. Mr. Wells, while
in this city, was much esteemed by those who
knew him, and was an industrious, peacsable citi
zen. This fatal decision has proved a severe and
unexpected blow to bis numerous relatives here.
No r So.—The Boston Journal says its edito
rial columns nerer advanced a sentiment in fa
vor of monarchical institutions. A selected para
graph was published in that journal which was
seized upon by papers opposed to it to misrepre
sent as tho Journal's own opinions As we were
unwittingly lad into the error, it is but fair that
we should give the Journal the benefit of this de'
nial.
MORTAI.ITV AMONG CHILDREN.—In the cities
of New York, Philadelphia and Boston, last week,
the following number of children died, under five
years of age :—New York, 436; Philadelphia, 273!
Boston, 34.
Launch—To-day, from the ship yard of J. J.
Abrahams (c Son, Baltimore, will be launched a
splendid schooner, built for David Currie, of Rich,
mond. She is 375 tons burthen, 122 feet long, has
30 feet beam and 12 feet depth in her hold. She
was built under the superintendence of Captain
(}. W. Allen, and will be a first class vessel. She
has been named the "Crenshaw, - ' and will be com
tnanded by Captain Fonerdeu. The same builder*
have contracted to build two more vessels of the
same size for the same party—the keels for which
will be immediately laid.

Gov. Shannon's Successor—A dispatch from
Washington, speaking of Gov. Shannon's succes

Col. John W. Geary, of Pennsylvania, is a little
less than forty years of age, and has held high
civil and military positions. He was born in Penn

State; was for many years a civil engineer; was
