«ry, Lord Baocaaaßt gars aottee jhat he
should at aa aarly day mors for soma rstaras
rsspsoUsg slavsry.Aad waald brlsg the whole
sjusstlea before As Hones. He would also
move for the rstaras of tbe cotton Imported
into Grsat Britain from America. On the fol
io wisg sveslsg ha BBBds tha promised metioa,
aad was ssa a sit d by tbs Daks sf Newesstte
who aaid ths rstaras should be forthcoming,
aad that tbe Government would dealt it could
to sspprsss tbe slave trade. What oaa be tbe
objsot of Lord BaorouAM is mating tbis mo
tion, we are aot exactly able to understand.—
He hardly deeigas, ws should suppose, to em
bark tbs British Government aad people Ib
aa armed crusads against Americaa slavery,
aad if be merely intends to keep ap tbe agita-
Uoa already uuUug beta, by scboisg tbs voice
of abolitionism that comes from tbe United
States, we should think hi* time might be
more profitably spent. There is ao surer way
of uniting the whole American people against
aay project la wbicb America is interested,
than by showing that Great Britain is really
to put her finger In tbe pie. A memorable ex
ample of tfiia occurred ao short a time ago,
tbat we wonder Lord Bbocobax bas so boob
forgotten it. We allude to tbe searching of
American vessels In tbe Gulf of Mexico in tbe
spring of tbe year ISX. Tbis violation of na
tional rigbts waa met by such a shout of de
fiance from Maine to Texas, as to convince
everybody uot deaf to conviction that, bow
much soever the Americaa people were divided
among themselves upon questions of internal
policy, when ths nation was attacked from
abroad there was bo division among them, if,
then. Lord B noyau am be desirous that the
abolition agitation should continue to rage, be
should take warning from the events of 1.55,
aad exert all his powers of persuasion to keep
Great Britain from interfering iv our domes
tic affairs.
We have no doubt that the statistics called
for by Lord Uroiouau, will produce an ef
fort very different from any be either expects
or designs. The English people, in large
masses, have been taught, like a large propor
tion of tbe Northern population of our own
country, to believe that slaveholders are
monsters whom it is a virtue to extermlnate.
and tbat to deal witb tbem Is to tonch, taste,
and baudle tbe accursed thing. Let them see
to what an enormous extent their own coun
try—nay, they themselves—are implicated in
the imaginary crime of slavery, and tbey will
open tbeir eyes to the folly and wickedness of
these who denounce it yet give every encour
agement to it by becoming the best customers
•of tbe slaveholder. Let them know tbat four
millions of balm of cotton are annually pro
duced by tbe slaves of this country, and tbat
but a fifth of it is manufactured here, while
England takes mnch tbe larger portion of
tbe rest, and they will soon begin to ask
who is the greater monster: the man who
compels the slave to make tbe cotton, or tbe
man wbo encourages tbe compulsion by
buying it after it bas been mode T There
can be no means so certain of exposing
tbe Pharisees who put up long prayers for
the emancipation of tbe negro, and make large
fortunes out of tbe proceeds of bis labor. As
for dispensing witb American cotton, that is
altogether out of the question. If Parliament
make up their minds 40 that iaaue, they might
just as well moke them np to another.—
They will have to dispense witb tbe present
Government also, for a revolution would most
assuredly follow in forty-eight hours. The
number of operatives actually engaged in the
manufacture of cotton cannot be, we take it,
abort of one million. Every one of tbese, it is
to be presumed, has connections of some sort
or other, more or less extended; ao that If we
were to put down the number of tbose whose
very existence depends directly upon it at five
millions, we should not be far out of the
mark. But it is not tbose wbo are directly in
terested tbat would alone feel the blow. The
whole laboring population are dependent upon
it for clothing cheap enough to come within
tbe limits of their means. Capital to an enor
mous amount is invested in it. Ths refusal
to take American cotton would shut every
manufactory in England, of every description
—throw mil lions of men out of employment
produce such a commercial convulsion as tbe
world never beheld—and drive the furious
multitude Into a civil war. Nobody knows
this better than Lord Brougham, but we want
tbe people of Great Britain to know it. We
want them to see what would be the result of
that policy, which tbe Exeter Hall crew de
sire to see inaugurated in this country, upon
tbe prosperity of Great Britain herself:
•Tomsensatlea sf the Adjutant General.
We concur heartily with the sentiment of
the Petersburg Prtts, tbat the paltry sum paid
Adjutant General Richardson for his ser
•vicea (9100 per annum) is disgraceful to the
State. When the late General Peyton became
Postmaster of Richmond, we believe he had to
resign hie ofllce of Adjutant General of the
State. Gen. Richardson was then Secretary
of the Commonwealth aud Librarian. At his
suggestion the ofllce of Adjutant General was
conferred upon him, with tbe addition to bis
salary, perhaps, of this one hundred dollars—
thus saving to tbe State nearly tbe whole sal
ary previously paid Ibis officer. The idea was,
that a considerable portion of tbe busiuess of
tbe Adjutant General's ofllce bad to pass
through tbe ofllce be (Geu. R.) held, and tbat
he could attend te it without much additional
labor. At tbat time, too, tbe military spirit of
tbe State was declining, and the laws were
undergoing a corresponding change, until
Anally, at a later day, militia musters were
altogether abolished. Within a year or two,
however, a change has takes place la tbe pub
lic fssliug, which bas become decidedly mom
martial. Tbe reesst events on onr border bave
given a powsrful imputes to this disposition,
aad of course tbe duties of all wbo bave any
thing to do with tbe military department are
wsry much inoressed. Gessral Ricbabdbon's
ofllce is one of considerable labor and respon
sibility, aad was ths more especially as during
tbe military organisation at Charlastown.-
This veteran Is tbe service of tbe State, wbo

the tresis reposed ia bim through him loag life

The Legislature.
Among the bills reported in tbe Senate yes
terday, was one making an appropriation for
the improvement of James river below Rich
mond. A bill was passed to furnish Clerks of
Courts aud Justices of the Peace with Mayo's
Guide. A resolution was unanimously passed
to inquire into tbe expediency of granting a
peusion to tbe widow of the colored porter
killed by John Brown's men at Harper's Fer
ry. The joint resolution having in view a set
tlement with Selden, Withers A Co.. late
agents of the S.ute for the sale of bonds, was
adopted in the Senate. The further consider
ation of the Oyster Fundum tax was laid over
until Saturday. All the present State officers,
including Secretary of the Commonwealth,
Public Printer, Ac, were re-elected by the
General Assembly. In the House but little
business was transacted. The consideration
of the bill amending tbe charter of the James
River and Kanawha Company was postponed
till Friday, (to-morrow.) One or two unim
portant bills were passed, when tbe House
proceeded to tbe consideration of bills on tbeir
second reading, and adjourned.
Passage of the Postal Bill.
The U. S. Senate yesterday receded from its
amendment to the Postal bill abolishing the
franking privilege, and then passed the bill.—
The President has signed it, and it is now a
law... The Senate after wards passed a separate
bill abolishing tbe franking privilege.
Post-Office Contributions to tbe Wash
ington Mom-bent.—Since the plan of putting
boxes at the Post-Offices for contributions to
the Washington Monument went into opera
tion, about four mouths ago, returns have
come in from 841 places. The aggregate amount
received is IMIHI. Nearly *2>_,_oo places have
not been heard from at all. If the postmasters
of these would co-operate with the others, and
with as favorable au average result, the annual
fund would be more than 5_*25,000. To keep
tbe work in fair progress $lo,uoo a year would
suffice, which would require an average return
of 5i...0 a year,or cents a month from
each town. In Virginia, 65 Post-Offlces have
contributed _ 10-2..4, the largest contribution
being *l(i si, which was put in tbe box at
Petersburg. Norfolk gave $ 13, and Richmond
only $10. Iv North Carolina, *.. Post-Offices
gave $ 1-..-.1. Iv Tennessee, 13 Post -O Itlces gave
S*i_.!M). The largest contribuiiou woe Si 15, from
San Francisco ; tbe next $101, from Nevada,
California; the next $>, by the town of Lynn,
Moss., and the next largest was *.. i, by tbe
town of Donaldsville, La. The city of New

Delegates Appointed to the Southern
Conference.—The two Houses of the Missis
sippi Legislature met in joint convention on
the _th instant,and selected the following gen
tlemen to represent the State in the Atlanta
Convention: Samuel S. Boyd, of Adams; Wi
ley P. Harris, of Hinds; A. M. Clayton, of
Marshall; Samuel J. Gholson, oPMonroe; W.
R. Hilt, of Yazoo; Henry Dickinson, of
Lowndes; Hiram Oassedy, of Franklin.
Tbb Fibb ib Elisabeth City.N. C—The
loss by the Are at Elizabeth City, N. C, on
Tuesday last, is estimated at $40,000. The
principal losers are T. R. Cobb, Cornelius
Trueblood, W. W. Burgess, C. W. Kellinger,
Mrs. Guirken, Wm. Laboyteaux, Thos. Shan
non, Thomas Gatkins, and Pool A Wheeler.
Several of the buildings were new, having
just been completed. Tbe Norfolk Argus
says:
Tbe Are broke out at 2 A. M., Tuesday, in a
new warehouse, belonging to Mr. Cobb, and
raged for hours witb great violence, the flames
sweeping onward on both sides of the thor
oughfare, rendered furious by a strong breeze
blowing at tbe time, and, meeting across the
street, formed an immense fiery arch, above
which they towered and flashed fiercely. The
scene was grand and awful, and tbe excitement
of tbe multitude tbat witnessed the destruc
tive conflagration was increased by the fear
that tbe whole town would be swept away.
By tbis dread visitation to tbat pleasant town,
many persons are thrown out of employment,
a number of families are deprived of shelter
and means of support, and an immense lose
has beea incurred by individuals and tbe oor-
K ration at large. Tbis sad calamity, wbicb
b soQpieklyfollowed another In tbe same
town, and which we chronicled last year, is
again declared to be the fiendish work of some
heartless and inhuman incendiary. Tbe torch
was applied a: the dead boor of night, the
place selected to ktndle the devouring flame
being the flrst story of a new warehouse, just
completed, and stocked with goods by an en
terprising citizen. _^^^

cuit Court is bow in .session in Lexington,
with a heavy criminal docket. There are two
murder cases, both of great atrocity, which
are to be tried. Tbe number of murders in
Kentucky ia aaid to be tearfully large, and
there ia a pretty general disposition to punish
tbem by Lynch law, aa tbey rarely receive
tbeir deaeru at the hands of the regular tri

is tbe bead of a very Urge boys' school in this
city, and tbe Misses Jackson, formerly of

Tne negroes are notes numerous in Eastern
Virginia, and, I should judge, not under as
good discipline. They have five churches with
negro preachers. Public sentiment on tbe
slavery subject ia sound and there la a strong
Union feeling, bnt at tbe same time no dispo
sition to submit to any outside dictation.
I ha re, of course, visited Ashland, the form
er residence of tbe great statesman and orator,
Uenry Clay, now occupied by his son, James
B. Clay, Esq., late member of Congress from
this district. Tbe house, having become old,
was taken down since Mr. Clay's death, and a
new one built, somewhat npon the same plan
internally and externally. It is filled with
mementoes of the departed statesman, gifts
that were presented bim by bis admirers in
various parte of tbe Union, and books and'
paintings which show bia own good taste and
culture. The iuterior arrangements of tbe
house are more elegant and convenient than
most of the costly fashionable houses of our
large cities, and tar more bo than the unpre
tending, though handsome exterior would lead
one to expect. In Mr. Clay's time, the ap
pointments were much plainer. Mrs. Clay,
the widow of Henry Clay, lives near tbe old
homestead. She is a lady of exceedingly do
mestic habits, and tins not visited Lexington
but once since the death of her husband.
The monument to Mr. Clay, a tall shaft of
Kentucky m ti Die, is nearly.finished. When
surmounted by the statue of the great Ken
tuckian, ii will be 120 feet high. It occupies a
commanding eminence in tbe beantiful ceme
tery near Lexington. When completed, the
remains of Mr Clay, which now rest by tbe
side ot his mother iv another part of the ceme
tery, will be removed there.
Mr. Joel T. Hart, the sculptor, whose statue
of Mr. Clay has lately arrived in Richmond, is
now visiting Lexington. He is a native of
Clarke county, Kentucky, where he was born
in 1810. He was originally a stone-cutter. A
splendid banquet was lately given him by his
frieuds and admirers in Lexington, at which
speeches were made by Judge Monroe, R. W.
Hanson, Esq., and other distinguished gentle
men. The most enthusiastic praises were lav
ished upon the artist.
The medical school here numbers now but
fifty pupils. A bill has been introduced iuto
the Kentucky Legislature, prepared by two
officers of the annv, providing for an efficient

Harbis onbl'BG, Va., Feb. 14, HMO.
The news of the passage of the Manassas
Gap Railroad bill reached here on Saturday
night last. One week ago the prospects of tbis
bill passing were very gloomy. Our citizeus
wortj sad and elongated countenances from
this fact; but when the news arrived that
Manassas bad been ''put through," it seemed
to change the aspect of things generally. The
hearts of our citizens were filled with "joy
and gladness," especially those who appreciate
benefits and advantages to be derived by its
completion to this place.
A large brick dwelling and kitcben, belong
ing to Mr. Stephen A. Harnsberger, residing
near Port Republic, in this county, was de
stroyed by fire on Sunday morning last, about
the hour of 2 o'clock. Tbe fire broke out in
the kitchen. A portion of tbe furniture was
saved. Mr. H.s loss is about . i.._ «i.
Preparations are now being made to cele
brate the '.2nd. A supper is to be given by the
ladies for the benefit of Eshman's Cornet Bund.
Speeches,appropriate to ihe occasion, will be
delivered: the 'Valley Guards" will be on
pnrade, and the Masonic fraterni y wilt form
in procession, and it is qu.te probable the stu
dents of the Mossy Creek Academy will be
present on the occasion. So, if the weather is

Who among va. sven ths ens who has been meet

recall with rapturous delight the Under caresses
of a fond mother, ths kiss of burning love and hope
impressed upon those infant lips, unable as yet to
reveal its sorrows.' but the intelligent mother
understood them, because she knew how to love,

Before he is capable of comprehending anything
around him, doss not know and love his mother i
doe* not call her by his cries, aeek her with hia

it is whs, from the first moment of his birth, has
lavished on him the most tender and untiring care

prehend the aacrifines they impose on the mother,
cares which open tbe heart and am the love nf
this belo ed being, who haa now but one idea, and
who already loves her whom he will love all his
life; for maternal love is tiie only love that accom
panies us during our pilgrimage from ths crsdle ts

The children for whom I plead have no mothers.
They have passed the crsdle. Let the hand of
charity furnish them with a littht whose rays may
