Hut a* Mr*. Ov 2i y 1 Noli AM pays her rent with un deviating punctuality, it has been found difficult to eject lier, and #0 the poet has to suf fer all the horrors of eating by day and sleep ing by night with only a thin partition be tween him and a suspected murderess. Yet this delicate sprig of puritan piety and poetic sensibility rejoices and makes himself merry over the tragic scenes of blood and crime at Harper's Ferry ! What consistency ! What conscience! What humanity! How would you like a touch of this abolition at your own d x>rs 1 How would you like, oh ! poet, in the dark and solemn midnight, to see the "drapery of your couch" withdrawn, and Mrs. Hi ki>xllCvxmn«iiam peering in,armed with one of those devilish-looking jukes man ufactured in Connecticut, and which now af fords you so much merriment f Would you not laugh the other side of your mouth .' This flue sport of throwing stones at the frogs—sport to alwlition editors, though it i* death to others—will not continue long. If they are determined on exciting insurrection and civil war, let them bear in mind a fact which they may learn any day by consulting theirewn neighbors and acquaintances, that the baitle will begin in their own streets.— There are tens of thousands ol loyal and brave men in the North, who, when the crisis comes, will go down into the streets, and try conclusions with the abolitionists, bayonets to bayonets and heart to heart. Hut abolitionists will never stand such a trial. If they could once be made to feel that it is inevitable; if such men as U-reei.ev of the Tribune, Bryant of the Post, and others, whoare as timid in ac tion as they are furious in speech, could be made to realize that the civil war which they are laboring to bring about w ill begin in the city of New York, and involve their own precious persons, their printing houses, their private residences, and their own wives and children, they would cultivate caution and charity, in stead of sowing broadcast the seeds of servile and civil commotion. That such will be the case, no one who knows the state of sentiment among the Northern people can doubt. The conservative men of the North will fight the battles of the Constitution at their own doors, and they who ha\e sown the wind will reap the whirlwind. The Fair. A visit, yesterday, to the Fair Grounds, left us with the impression that there are not as many people at the present exhibition as on former grounds. In tins, however, we may he mistaken, the grounds being so much larger than thijse formerly occupied, that the same, or even a larger crowd, would not make as great a show. The plan of exhibition is one of the finest, best arranged, and most spacious in the country. Strangers from oiher States pa«s high commendations upon the grounds and the arrangements for the reception of stock, and for every purpose connected with the Fair. The ground of Lhe trotting course is admirably adapted for that purpose. A horse who could not make good time on that soil, might as well retire from public life. There are more horses at this Fair than we have ever seen on any previous occasion, some of them very fine. Some of the cattle are the fattest and handsomest of their kind we ever saw.— In a very hasty examination, we were much etruck with the variety and beauty of the fan cy work in the ladies' department, and in the vegetable tent we saw "some pumpkins," as well as other monster vegetables, which we recommend to the inspection of the curious. Safety of our Public Armories. The recent seizure of Harper's Kerry by a small band of white men and negroes, has drawn attention to the safety of our public ar mories and forts, and has elicited the fact that there is not a single regiment of regular sol dierson theentire Atlantic and Gulf seaboard. The New York Herald says there are but two companies at Fort Hamilton to protect New York harbor, owe company at Hoston, one just returning from Newport to the West, two companies at Charleston, one at Key West, and eight companies of recruits at the artillery school at Fortress Monroe. The immense forti fication constructing on the Dry Fortugas, which has already cost millions of dollars, stands alone in the centre of a thousand miles of unguarded coast, with not a hundred sol diers to guard it, if it were menaced. Within eighty miles of this great work, designed, nays the New York lleruld, to be the Gibraltar of the Gulf of Mexico, the (Japtain-General of Cuba has twenty thousand disciplined troops and twenty-five steamships-of-war, which in eeven hours would enable him to take the for- j tress,'and to keep'it for months and perhaps years. The subject certainly deserves the early attention of Congress. Address of Hun. IS. \V. Miller. To-night. We hope that a large number of our citi zens, and of the many strangers in the city, Will attend at the African Church on the oc casion of Mr. Miller's eloquent oration, to night. It will be a rich and rare treat.— Having ourselves, on oue occasion, heard Mr. Miller, we can say, with contidence, that no oue will be disappointed. As the object is to increase the fuuds of the Mount Vernon As sociation, we cannot, for a moment, doubt that an intelligent and appreciative audience will reward the gifted orator for the time and trouble which he has cheerfully sacrificed at the request of the Committee of the Associa tion. The price of tickets is 50 cents. They can be obtained at the depot of the Richmond and Fredericksburg Company, during the day, and at the door of the Church this evening. The Presidency in England. The London T'lsgraph gravely states that among the most prominent candidates in tie United States for the Presidency, is Stkimikn A. iJoroi.AH, a black man, who, for many years, has conducted an abolition and eman cipation newspaper with signal success. We should think that Mr. Sbwakd, wiio is now in England, might keep his abolition friends In that country better posted upon American politics. Perhaps, when the Hsrix-r « terry news arrives, he will be able to tell the Lon don Telegraph who Jobs Heowh is. Or per haps not. Maybe be never heard of such a person as OiuwiTOHti Ilhow>, and will !*• very much shocked when the tidings of his evil doings reaches England. Col. Davis. Col. J. Lucius Davis, of Henrico, who is placed in command ot the troops at Charles, town, is just the man for the position. Col. Davie is a graduate of West Point, an accom. plished and experienced cavalry officer, a vigilant and gallant soldier. There will be no renewal of an attempt to invade any portion of the soli which te assigned *> the gdardian shipof CM. Davis; or,should there be it will he met la precisely the wanner that every Virginian, eepecially i., the present temper of the State, would de»ire it to be met. Colonel Duryee. We are pleased to learn that a large number of the principal merchants of New York are getting up a splendid testimonial tor presen tation to ex-Colonel AaaAM Dirtii, the lat* Commandant of thoMew York 7th Regiment, ae a fitting acknowledgment of his eminent miliar? services while la command of the heat dUdptlnoA volunteer corps in that State. dollar. already bneu Military Advantage* ot Railroads. One of the most important lessons taught by the late invasion of Harper's Ferry, is the fact that, in twenty-four hours, troops can be con gregated from a distance of 150 or vJOUmiles: e.t a moment's notice, cannon and military stores transported, and an invasion crushed and it* leaders shot or captured. Before the intro duction of railroads and telegraphs, Brown might have held jwssession of the Arsenal for weeks, and even months, before be could have l»cn dislodged. Now, as the Philadelphia Ledger observes, such are the advantages of lailroads and telegraphs, though builtciitiie.y for the purposes of peace, that in an instant they place all military and volunteer forces, within a hundred and llfty miles, in such proximity as this to the seat of war-Cabinet Council." are assembled—military officers sum moned troops gathered by telegraph and con veved by steam to the seat of war, with a ce lerity inconceivable fifty years ago. •• All this," remarks the IMger. "multiplies the power of a small army of well disciplined men. it sues their fatisuss 111 inarches ami eon 11 tor marches. They are hroiuht up in such a case as th;>. fresh and cool, and ready for action. Above all. their powers are fir more favorable for defen sive war than aueressiv#; for a war m whteh those sympathize whose homes Are in .danger, than one in winch the invasion of a peaceful country is the object. The true wav to make a nation strong tor war. is lo make it strong lor peace, anil the same I.trees that contribute to the one, can. with the greatest ease, l>e turned to the other. How lone would it have lieen lie lore otir lines of rail road and telegraph could have been built and put in working order for government purposes as a mill tarv work?

It is to be hoped that the next Legislature of Virginia will complete a system ot railways, and thus develop the wealth, and provide for the security, of the State. »w Books.

He commenced life as an apprentice in a factory where steam engines were made, ami lirst attracted the attention of the public in 1 bv inventing a locomotive which con sumed its own smoke, weighed only six tons, and drew 20 tons at the rate of 10 miles an hour. For this work he received a prize of S-2,000. He then commenced building railroads, and all the principal lines in England, Bel gium and Norway, were constructed under Lis supervision.
