A genial warmth those beams impart, And purling streamlets gently flow.

Bo flow ray words to tell thee why I asked, " If God hath power to save,

I rose from prayer—my heart was sad— My spirit drooped with leaden wing;

A brazen mail the heavens clad. Devotion seemed a tiresome thing.

My harp shrunk from my touch with fear. As shrinks a child from a new grave.

And cried, " If God doth answer prayer, "" Where is his mighty power to save 1"

With gentle hand, my harp I raised, ' And tuning it, gazed on the sky, And on the hills vfhero glad herds grazed,

And spake of hours to memory sweet, Thqse gladsome hours, eur hearts engrave ;—

it fell all trembling at my feet

And echoed baek. "The grave, the gravo !"

The King of Prusoiais nearly-the equal pf Louis Philipp.'; he speaks English well, but not so well as tho King of tiie French. He is a seli-mqde man. Ho was not allowed to get'his education at the German* Universities, as he desired, as it was thought degrading to the King's son to asso­ciate with. other meu|' H e regrets to this day, that he was not permitted to goto'the University and associate with the students.' The King of Sweden graduated at College,' and is a fine scholar.

The King of Prussia is not very popular." H e is too good a man for (hat. H e proposes many re­forms, and pushes them forward, with too much energy, to please the people.

The, Emperor of Russia is not inferior in talent, but he came unexpectedly ia the throne, it hav­ing been abdicated in his faVor. H e has no time ~to-read. Being a resolute Monarch, hisduties ate most arduous. H e is most devbted.fo public af­fairs. I spoke to him about temperance socie­ties, when ho began to make the objections which were ouce so common here, that brandy was needful for laborers to give them strength, and protect them in heat and cold. H e also made objections on account of the revenue from that source, which i s very great. He however, at once perceived the force of ray arguments, admit­ted, their conecthess and said: " As for the rev­enue w o will let it go, and get a revenue some­where else." Nicholas is very decided and inde­pendent,

A nobleman of great wealth and talent had governed his brother Alexander when Nicholas came to the throne: In less than three days he came to see him unasked. Nicholas said to him, " Who asked you to appear before m e 1 I know bow you governed my brother, and imposed up­on h's meekness. I give you three days to ar­range your affairs in St. Petersburgh, after which time you will retire to your country seat," whioh he did, and has remained there ever since.

The King of Sweden is a literary man,and the author of several books. H e gave me a copy of his work on Prison Discipline, just published.— The King of Holland is not so popular j is an old­er man, about fifty-four. H e was distinguished at the battle of Waterloo, and badly wounded.— The King of Denmark is a man of fair talents, but of no decision of character.

The manners of PrinceB are polished, easy and Bimple. Such are the characters of the nobles of Europe, w h o m I ha^e eeen. I t , i s easy to converse with them.

ANCESTBT OF GEORGE WASHINGTON.—We ob­serve a laudatory notice in one of our exchanges of the genealogy' of Washing'on emblazoned oy a heraldist, a very pretty affair which w e recol­lect once to have seen, traciug up the ancestry of General Washington to nobility, and thence to royalty, until we think it established very plainly that no less than three crooned heads had con­tributed their celestial blood to fill the veins of the first Republican President.

We confess that until we saw this genealogical tree, it had never occurred to us to inquire, whether the " Father of his country,' ever had a father himself, much less a grandfather, and least of all, .whether he was of plebeian or aristocratic descent. It was enough for us to know that America hod given George Washington to man­kind, and in contemplating that simple and sub­lime, character of which the world has never yet produced an equal, it could add nothing to our reverence to learn that this monarch o f nature, bearing on every lineament of his soul, mind and body, her seal Wf regal majesty, was the descend­ant of men w h o bad won the bauble of n crown, and wielded an j ron sceptre over unwilling minds,

be imJios.ed on these articles be limited in %air duration to the period of the war.

An additional annual revenue, it is estimated, of between half a million and a million of dollars, would be derived from the graduation and redac­tion of the price of such of the public funds as have been long offered in the market at the mini­mum price established by the existing laws, and have remained unsold.

And, in addition to other reasons commending the measure to fav.orable considerations, it is, re­commended as a financial measure.

The duty suggested on tea and coffiee,. and the graduation and reduction of the price of the public lands, would secure an additional annual rejv^pue to the treasury of not less thau $3,00O,0QQ', mid would'thereby prevent the necessity of inctft'rjng a public debt annually to that amount, thelltter-est on which must be paid semi-annually, ajld ul­timately the debt itself, by a tax on the p.aople.

The increased revenues which the measuresjhpAv recommended would produce, would, moreover, enable the government to negotiate a loan, for any additional sum which may be found tpJae needqd, with more facility, and at cheaperiigj.es than can be done without them.

Und»r the injunction of the constitution wjjicb makes it my djnty " from time to time to give-to Congress information of the state of the wMsir

part' w o t ^ . be so w e l l calculated to produco:

informed y^ou in my annual message of the 8th Decembej' last, that the war would " continue to be'prosecnierTwith vigor air tlie" best means of securing peace," and recommended to your ear­ly and favorablecousiaeration., the measures pro­posed by the Secretary of War, in his report ac­companying that message.

in my message of the 4th Jnnunry last, these and other measures, deemed to l ie essential to the " speedy and successfiil'* termination of the war, and the attainment of a just and honorable peace were recommended t o your early and favorable consideration.

The worst state of things which could exist in a war with such a power«as Mexico, would be a course of indecision apd inactmfy on our part. B c n g charged by the Constitution and the laws with the conduct of the war, I have availed my­self- o f all thejneansat^my command toprosccute-it with energy and vigor. ' -• - -

The act '* to raiso tor a limited time an addi­tional military force and tor otherjpurposes," and which authorizes the raising Of ten uddilional regiments to the regular witty, to servo during the war, a d to be disbanded at^ts termination, which was presented to me on the Ilth inst., and approved on that day, wil l tfonslfitute an impor­tant part o f our military force. «< SPhese-regiments will be raised and moved? to ihe seat of war with the least practicable delay. . ;-

It will be perceived that this act makes no pro­vision for the organization into brigades and divis­ions of the increased forces which it authorizes, nor for the appointment of general officers to com­mand it. It will be |>rr>per-that authority be giv­en by law to make such oiglpizatiou, and to ap­point, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, such number t i f major generals and bri­gade generals us the qfiSoieucy o f the service may demand.

The number of officers of these grades now in service is not more than is required for their re­spective commands; But'furthprlegislative action during your, present session will, in my judgment, be required, and to wjfich it is Tjvy duty respect­fully to invite your attention.

Should the wan, cdiitrary to m y earnest desire, be protracted to the oloso of the present term of service of volunteers n o w in Mexico, who are en­gaged for twe lve month^. art f.dditipual volunteer force will probably become necessary to supply their place.

W e have received from a diplomatic friend the foUywitig^lever letter, throwing light upon the peculiarities o r tne Emperor Nicholas.

I cannot help giving you a little Russian gos­sip. G •, who is lately from the banks of the Neva, relates the following anecdote of the Emperor; which contains a dei ree of capricious-ness and fun, that proves his Highness to be at once droll and a tyrant.

A worthy Russiuu gentleman was one dpy pass­ing along the street, when he' was accosted by an acquaintance who asked if he bad heard of the victory of the Imperial troops over one of the Circassian hurtles, with which the Government was at war. The narrator stated the time at

. whioh .the, .conflict had occurred, by which it seemed, in a country where electric telegraphs were as yet uiikuown. that it was utterly impos­sible the bulletin, could have been transmitted so rapidly. The Russian immediately doubted the story, m consequence of this fact; and, giving his acquaintance " good morrow," passed on. his way. Soarcefy hud he reached home, however, whe-a he was tapped ou tho shoulder by a gen £ ai msr and marched to the bureau of the chef de police.

Arrived at the office, bo was interrogated by the functionary as to the fact of his having doubt­ed tho receipt of the morning's news, and, at once admitted th:it he had done so in consequence of tlie apparent impossibility of traversing so vast a country in so brief a space of time.

'• You still seem to doubt it ?" said the chief of the Police inquiringly.

" I confess I do," replipd the Russian. " Well, sir, your knowledge and powers of cal­

culation must b e improved"—rejoined the offi­cial.

At a signal from the judge, the Russii n was re­moved from his prn-ence, and, on reaching the d"Or, be fouud a chaise de paste in waiting, into which he wan rapidly ttirust. Away bounded the gteeots over the streets of St. Petersburg ;"aud for ntteiiy a dreary day nncf night, en they flow with the luckless d-nbti-r, until the postillions drew bridle ou the battle field in question."

All the democratic sena­tors have voted against the infamous resolution, except those whoso names are inserted below.— They have united with the federal party in the Senate iij the miserable, frivilcns attempt to to attach a moral degradation upon the-ed­itors of this paper. The bond is sealed, the coalition complete, between these four men and the regularly organized opposition to the present administration and the great democratic purty of the Union. In vain has this admiuistr-atiun strug­gled, and succeeded iu currying out the grcatand fundamental principles of the democracy. It has done more towards reforming the abnses of the government, and putting the " ship upon the re­publican track " than uny other President, who has had the power to perfect these reforms, since the days of Thomas Jofterson. We boldly and fear­lessly pronounce the fact in the fuoe of the world. In vain have we striven our utmost for nearly the last two years, and devoted every energy of mind and body, in co-operating with our friends of the administration in achieving theso important pur­poses. And now, because the leader of a little clique, professing to belong to the democratic party, has become soured and dissatisfied, he and they have united with the federalists to strike at us, and through us, to strike at the administra­tion ; and to effect that object, they have rushed on to strike duwn the liberty of the press, con­secrated as it is by all the strongest principles of demncracy, and embalmed in the memory oi every [republican by the protests of Jeffersonf and of iMmUgu, agait'St4heciierseGntioji of William Du-

We do not perceive that tlie prices of factory stocks, or the disposition to invest in them, have been much enfeebled by the passage and the action of the n e w Tariff. Indeed, the idea so often announced'tiy the free traders, that the modifications of the Tariff, would render fac­tory property more fecuro, seems to huve been imbibed by tho. manufacturers to a considerable extent.

The impression produced by this event was so great as to overturn the reason of the sufferer, who, animated by a Bupematur&l strength; burst open the coffin lid and fled frdm the cemetery. H e was overtaken, ouly with great difficulty, after having been pursued a considera­ble distance. The Journal de Bordeaux announ­ces a similar occurrence a few days before the above. The wife ot a rich farmerof Lauxac, after a short ninths and apparent death, had been bu­ried with ti&ti«iustouied formality. 'AfeVhours after, tho sexUm passing through tlie'gravS yard, imagined he heard groans coming from uuder the earth. H e hastei'ed to- inform the curate, who ordered the grave to be opened.

By the act pf the thirteanth of May last, the President was anthctrized* accept the services of volunteers, " iivcompanjes, battallions, squad­rons, and regiments," buSaft provision wasmade for filling up vacancies which might occur by death, or discharges frowtrlhe service on account of.sickness or othej- casuplliefc, •

In consequence, of this epiission, many of the corps now m service have, been much rednced hi numbers; Nor w a s tiny provision mar3e for filling vacancies of regimental of compatiy of­ficers who might die or resgn. Information has Jiean received at tho War DeparUaeitt p{ the resignation, of more than one hundred of these officers. They were appointed by the State

'liprities, and no information has been received, \ t in a few instances, that their places have

|i filled: and the efficiency of the service has impaired from thus cuuse. remedy these defects, I recommend that

authority be given to accept the services of in­dividual volunteer's, to fill' up the places of such as may die, or become unfit for the service and be dischatged; and that provision be also made for filling the plape o f regimental and company officers w h o may d ie or resign. By such provis­ions, the volunteer^cot^avfenybe constantly kept full, Qp may- approximate the maximum number authorized and called jjnto servide iu the Srst in-

Tell us not that it was this particulnr commu­nication o f" Vindicator" which has invoked their vengeance upon our devoted head. 4' Vindica­tor" might have spoken in more courtly phrase; but he spoke with an honest zeal for the honor of his country, jeopardized, as he believed it to be, by the opposition in the Senate, consisting of the Federal party and tho small balunce party of that body. " Vindicator" might have employed more courtly and polished phrase—bnt he virtu­ally spnke the truth as to the consequences of then-act. Ho believed the defeat of the ten re£riment hill was calenlated to weaken the supplies"of the nation in the wur against Mexico, and therefore he spoke of it as a Mexican victory; and for speaking the truth as to the virtual consequences of the vote, he denounced that vote, and gave the pretoxt to the enemies of the Mexican war to strike at us—to strike at the administration—and, by so doing, to strife down the liberty of the press.

Tho federal press persecutes the President without any moderatien. It abuses him in the most virulent manner. It heaps charge upon churge, like Pelion upon Ossa, upon his devoted head. Therei s no punishment foi.tlxeni. Thxy aro free from all responsibility. And yet the senators must publish every free press which publishes uiy communication criticising their course. What gives them a higher claim than the President of the United States ?

We defy tbem all and appeal from ambitious leaders and their supple followers to the pe> 'pie themselves. They will not desert the cause.— What becomes of us is of little account. Wc ore but atoms in a powerful community of twenty millions of people. We invoke no com­miseration upon ourselves. W e defy any coali­tion between the federal party and the mongrel

The strong and indignant sentiment of the democratic party flowed in upon us this evening. We have not time to dilate npon the subject; but wo contest ourselves with laying before our readers, as a specimen of the rising spirit of the party, the following extract of a note addressed, to us by one of the ablest and most distinguished republican's of this c i ty:

"1 cnttitot withhold m y word of apprbbatjou and encouragement, in your controversy with the Senate. In the firtft place, you did no more than your duty, in letting that body know that it was amenable, through the press, to the people for its conduct. You wil l remember I advised you to this some weeks ago, and suggested to you that, at the head of a strong democratic journal of this country, you wielded a greater power than any member or clique upon that floor.— Perhaps it was more prudent for you to wait un­til public opinion, in regard to the course of Con­gress, had more folly developed itself m the conn-try. That time has now certainlyarrived; and I was rejoiced to see the spirit of the people re­flected in the columns of the Union. And the attempt to muzzle you will be regarded every where as an attempt to stifle the free voice of the press. So far, yon have nobly vindicated it.-;— Your articles have been lofty, dignified', and pat­riotic—just such as the cause and the occasion de-manded. And yon will b e sustained by the peo­ple. You will not only triumph in this SentrO". versy with the Senate, but the inexperienced gentlemen who have permitted jhemselves to be used as the instruments o f others, Will have-to endure'tho mortification o f an ignominious de­feat in public opinion." »••->
