The Lehigh, Mammoth Vein, Locust Moun-
tain. Council Ridge 'and Treverton Cools are
oflheﬁrst class, and are acknowledged by
dealers to have no superior. For furnaces
and all stoves with strong droughts, the Le-
high coals cannot be surpassed, being hard,
enduring and very 'pure. For ordinary doé
mcstic purposes. the Mammoth Vein, Locust
Mountain and Council Ridge Cools, stand un-
rivalled ; burning more freely than the ‘ Le-
high, making no clinker, and leaving less
ashes and slate than most any kind of Coal
known in the market. .

As to the Treverton. we can say to any
persons trying it, that if it, does not an-
swer the recommendation and prove entirely
satisfactory, we will take it back again ifde:
sircd, at our own expense, and refund the
money. ‘

A Reﬂective Retrospect.

’Tis twenty years and something more,
Since. all athirst for useful knowledge,
I took home draughts of classic lore
Drawn very mild, at rd College ;
Yet I remember all that one
Could wish to hold inrecollection;
The boys, the joys, the noise, the fun ;
But not a s'ngle conic section.

l recollect those harsh affairs,
The marning bells that gave us panics;
l recollect those formal prayers
That seemed like lessons in Mechanics ;
l recollect the drowsy way
In which the students listened to them,
As clearly in my wig to-day,
As when a boy I slumbered through them.

I recollect the tutors all,
As freshly now, lf‘l may say so,
As any chapter I recall ,
ln Homer or Ovidiun Nano.
1 recollect extrgmely well,
“ Old Hugh,’ ’ the mildest of fanatics ;
I well remember Matthew Bell.
But very fnlbtly Mathematics.

1 recollect the prizes paid
For lessons fnthomed to the bottom ;
(Alas that pencil marks should fade l)
I recollect the chaps who got ’em—
The light equestrinns who soared
O’er every passage reckoned stony,
And took the chalks—but never scored
A single honor to a pony l

Ah me l—what changes Time has wrought,
And how predictions have miscarried l-
A few have reached the goal they sought,
And some are dead and some are married ;
And some in city journals wnr,
And some as politicians bicker ;
And some are pleading at the bar ;
For jury verdicts or for liquor.

And some on trade and commerce wait ; '
And some in schools with dunccs battle,
And some the Gospel propagate, .
And some the choicest breeds of cattle ;
And some are living at their case,
And some were wrecked in the“ revulsion ;"
Some serve the State for handsome fess,‘
And one I bear upon compulsion l

Lamount who in his college days,
Thought e’en a cross a moral scandal,
Han left his purltnnic ways,
And worshipi now with bell-and candle ;
And Manx, who mourns the negro». 1.“.
And held the slave as most unlucky,
Now holds him at the market rate
011 a plantation in Kentucky i

Tom Knox who swore In such a tone
It fairly might be doubted whether
It really was himself alone,
Or Knox and Erebus together—
Hal grown a very altered man, .
And, changing oaths for mild entreety,
Now recommends the Christian plan
To savages in Ohfnheite !

Alas, for young smbition’s vow,
How envious fate may overthrow lti
Poor Hauvsr is in Congress now,
Who struggled long to be a poet ;
Sum! carves (quite well) memorial atoms,
Who tried in vain to make the law go ;

'Honesty and Policy.

" There are two grand principles of stolen by which
men govern their lives: Some chose one, some the
other, while a few try to unite the two ; but they
will not amalgnmn'te. They are as distinct and sepa-
ra'tc principles as are oil and water :, one is from be-
neath, the other is from above. They are Honesty and
Policy. -

There are men who chose honest: as a sole compan.
ion. They live in it and with it—show it. Their
words speak it; their faces beam it; their actions
proclaim it—thcy love it. ‘ ti * t 0

An honest man is invincible. He cannot be con.
qucred. Come with swords and mus kets ; ho is brave
and calm. Come with smiles and praises ; he is serene
and unmoved in resistance." Come 'with gifts ind mon.
ey; he will stand n'GibraItnr of strength. intimida-
tion. flattery, force, bribery, are alike» powerless against
him. God’s nobleman is the hone st rain. And his
earthly position does not add one ‘c-ubit to his great.
n‘ss, nor take one from it. ' * * . ‘

”There are men, and their number is not small, who
choose policy to guide them. They are honest when
they think it policy to be hOnest. They smile when
it is policy, though they design to :3th the next min-
ute. '

They speak and act when policy dictates, but re-
main silent and inactive when true honor would do-
manda sacriﬁcing word and action. Men of policy
are plainly proﬁtable. When honesty costs nothing
and will pay well they are honest, but when policy will
pay best, they give honesty the slip stance. '1‘“
they think honesty is the best policy, they are most
conscientiously lioncst, but when policy will in their
judgement serve them a better turn their conscience
change faces very quickly. Their consciences are
convenient articles which can be put: to all sorts of use
with equal . facility—chameleon lﬁke things which
change with the color (if circumstances around them.

There is an inbred meanness in policy whlch makes
it contemptible. It is always concealing, covering up
and keeping back. something that ounht to be known "

How to Save the the Union.

We do not intend to sit up with the Union
a singlenight this. Winter—not one. We need
the time for sleep a good deal more than the
Union does our catalog. We quite well un-
stand that there is soon to be some ground
and lofty tumbling in the Dissolution line at
Washington and further South. but we have
no mind to assist at the performance. If there
is to be any parading out of the Representa-
tives’ Hali, we insist that those engaged in it
shall forfeit their pay thenceforth until they
shall see ﬁt to resume their seats and under-
take to behave themselves. Spare diet is an
excellent sedative for inﬂammable, choioric
natures. and is a remedy neither expensive or
snnguinary. Let it have a fair trial.

Buttherc are eople laboring snlerconcern
of mind for the nioa. and afraid that it is on
the verge of disruption. To thesé we would
address a few frank words. _

The child that has learned that a hearty

’ cry will bring anything it may choose tohave,

is already half spoiled and all but ungoverna-
ble. Let it be understood that-the slavehold-
ing oligarchy—the owners of Southern negroes
and newspapers—have only to blaster and
threaten secession to set our Edward Ever-
ette. Hiram Ketchums and Joe Ingersolls to
drumming up Union Saving meetings, and
virtually urging the Free States to renounce
every princip e, stifle every conviction. sur-
render every position: that implies a preference
of Freedom to Slavery. and we‘ shall 'have
tantrum after tantrum till the end of time.—
It isthis“ alocrity in sinking” on the part
of our Northern Conservatives that creates
all the danger of Disuniou which exists.

As the citicsthut trade largely with the
South are now performing their periodical
Ko-Tow before the throne of King Cotton, we
desire to make this truth so plain that nobody
hereafter can fail to see it.

A planter grows cotton and sells it, ,but
never thinks of selling therewith his princi-
ples. or. in any manner accommodating his
convictions or their avowai to the prchsses-
sions of the prospective buyer. If that buyer,

black or yellow.makes not a particle-of differ-
ence—the best offer, backed by the cash, is
accepted.

Why is it that calico and tape cannot be

sought on the some common sense basis 2—

Why should the buyer of goods exercise any
more influence over the political opinion or
acts of the producer or seller than the buyer
of cotton does over the seller of that useful
staple? Manifestiy, the buyer in either case
acts upon the promptings of hisowu'supposed
interest, and has no particular regard for the
interest of the seller. Thus Great Britain is
truly pronounced the hot-bed of' Abolition ;
yet no plantcrhesitates to sell his cotton to
buy the fabrics of the British manufacturers.
He never fancies that. by doing this. he is
countenanciag or commending abolition ; or
if' he does, it makes no difference in his action.
Such an absurdity as undertaking to. punish
the British for their abolition sentiments or
acts by refusing to sell them cotton or buy
their goods never enters his head. .

Why, then. are the merchants. manufactu-

- rers, and capitalistsof the North always dealt

with as though they were different and baser
cluy than-those of Great Britain, and ready to
profess or disavow any sentiment in order to
keep on‘the right side of their customers ‘2—
Why is every threat of disunien at the South
met with new prostrations and genuﬁexious
from the North?

We tell you,Cotton devotees of the Free
States, that it is your suppleness fh'atis drift-
ing the country towards the breakers of Dis-
union—it is the impression diffused through-
out tbe South. that the North on be bullied
or frightened into the surrender of‘ifs convic-
tions that invites and incite: the menacss and
resolve: that are so fast ~ committing the
South to pOsitions which involve the alterna-
tive of disunion or disgrace. Had you stead-
ily. consisteutiy said to the South, “ This
subject of Slavery is one on which we cannot
be expected to think alike, but In t agree to
We will not inter-meddle, th siavcry
where it is, and you must not ask us to acqui-
esce to your planting it on common territory
where it is not,” there never would have
been any danger of djsunion on this account,
It is the current presumption at the South
that the North can, through you, be brought

to concedeanythlng that the Slave Power

may see ﬁt to demand, that creates the real
danger. -
Do you not see that there must be a limit
to your concessions, and that limit must be
reached at last 2 Some of you said. " here it
is I” when the annexation of Texas was pres-
sed, while that country was still involved in a
war with our peaceful neighbor, Mexico ,oth-
era when the Missouri Compact was broken
down ; others when Kansas was invaded and
her ballot boxes polluted by. the Border Ruf-
ﬁans and the Federal Executive sided with
the wrong doers against their victims. Still
others cried enough when the Lecempton out-
rage was attempted. But the great majority
have from the ﬁrst shut their eyes and ears to
every. proof ' of Pro-Slavery aggression and
wrong, lustily crying pence when there was
no peace. blinking the real question at issue

- and charging their own neighbors and fellow

citizens with inciting and fomenting the agit-
ation which was the inevitable result of Pro-
Slavery exaction and aggression. You, gen-
tleman. are thus the'reai authors of the perils
which now impend: Will you persist in the
path of danger, now that its perils are mani-
fest !

Only let it be clearly understood that our
devotion to the Union is no prompting of
mercenarycalculation—that while we prefer
to live in it we can nevertheless live without
it if we must—that we receive nothing from
the South for which we do not render a fair
equivalent and are no more dependent on her
than she is on us—that we do not ask her to
forgo the free expressions of her own convic-
tions—we will not surrender nor stiﬁu ours—
and we shall be all right. If she leaves us
it will be quite as much from disgust with
our Donghfaces as f‘rom hate or dread of our
Republicans. She loathes those who fawn on
her (as she reasonably supposes) for gain
quite as intensely as she detests avowed abo-
litionists. Hence we see that Northern Mer-
cantile drummers and dnns are now being
turned back from the South without the least
regard' to their political professions or cert-if
cates of character. ' > The cleanest bill of
health though emanating from an eminent
cotton broker and countersigncd by a distin-
uished ribbon seller, each of them conspicu-
ous and blazunt at every Union saving City
meeting of the lust dozen years, will hardly
a New York merchant or clerk safely
through from Richmond to New Orleans ;
while in Mississippi 01‘ Arkansas—especially
if he is known lo be on a collecting tour—ht.-
can not get on at all. if one result of this
should be a very great‘reduction of our im-

ort and consumption of foreign gewgawa we
shall heartily rejoice over it ; if another shall
be a general diffusion of manufactures and
mechanic arts throughoutthe South. we shall
regard the effect with still decp:r satisfaction.
With a proper diversiﬁcation of industrial
pursuits, slavery would soon die out of the
South. as it long ago vanished from Western
Europe. Only let the North be frank and
manly, calm,but resolved, and the peril of
Disunion will soon have passed away;

Mrs. Smith's Seminary for Young Ladies.
Education is thus deﬁned by Webster : “II.
.coniprehends all'tbat series of instruction and
discipline which is intended to enlighten lht‘
understanding, correct the temper. and form

.for usefulness in their future stations.”

In schools generally. those for females es-
pecially, it appears as if the cultivation of the
mind were the chief, if not the only. end In
view; and it frequently happens that helor
she who leaves the institution a finished schol-
ar. is almost physically incapacitated to meet
the soverer duties of life. We read of the
physical degeneracy of [lie-age : we are worn-
ed that the faculties of the body should be
developed co-equal with those of the mind;
and we are glad to see that the warning is
not nnhceded. The necessity for a good
ﬁysicai training is obvious; and the almost
universal antipathy to regular bodily exercise
is equally so. How often do we see a face
radiant with intellectiinlity, supported by a
weak. ill-formed body, whose functions can
scarcely 'aﬁ'ord vitality lo the brain. And
why- is this? Because of the almost total
neglect of proper physical education.

Mrs E. W. Sana. lute principal .of Mystic
Hall. assisted by acompetent corps of instinc-
tors, has recently established an Institute for
Young Ladies in the large and commodious
mansion formerly occupied by the lamented
Postmaster General Brown. The house con‘
tains upwards of thirty well-furnished rooms,
in addition to which several new buildings
have been erccfed,which are the school-room,
sixty by thirty insize. and ﬁlled up with im-
preved desks from the Benton mauuf‘aclorynhc
studio, finely lighted from all sides ; lhcgym-
nosium . supplied with vaulting poles, ropes,
ladders. rings bowling-alley, 61c; and the sta-
ble, in which are kept a number of horses for
the daily use of the pupils. The riding
course. about a quarter of a mile long, is bed-
ded with tan as a preventive against injury
from accident: and the entire premises are
surrounded by a wall fourteen feet in height.
Thus every facility is given to acquire athor-
ough. practical, and useful training.

To return to the house. The music and
dancing-room is very iarge,and was construct~
ed by Attorney General Win. for his daugh-
ter on scientiﬁc principles. The walls are
adorned with handsome paintings. and a bun

dred more, now in the hands of the trainer,
will be added to this collection in a few days.
The school apparatus is extensive and varied,
comprising an electrical machine. air pump.
globes celestial and lei-restful, orrery, skull,
maps, the" explanatory of locfures on anat-
omy; a library, and the'usuai appurtenances
of'a ﬁrst class school. A beautiful garden.
laid out under the superintendence of Mrs.
Witt, affords a delightful promenade and the
means for the practical application of the
principles Of botany. The able corps oftench-
ers and t wholesome discipline OI the school
give amp c assurance of a sound mora‘ and
intellectual training.

The national metropolis presents peculiar
advantages for the establishment of such an
institution. Here are concentrated the bright-
est talent and intellect of our country. In
no place better than in Washington can the
refinement and polish .of' genteel sOcicfy be
acquired. 'III the halls of Congress the mind

Colored Men Trading to Africa.

The brig Eusebia,N. Roye, master and own-
er,lately cleared of our Custom House. for
Monrovia and a market. with a full cargo of;
such merchandise a. is in chiefquuest among
citizens of Liberia. Capt. Roye is a colored
man and a citzen of the Liberia republic,
where he has field several public oﬁices,nmoug
which are those of Senator and Speaker of
the House of Representatives. lie emigrated
to Africa in 1846, from Ohio, where he was
born and educated. He is a graduate of' the
Ohio University, at Athens, and entitled by
his intelligence and manners, to be ranked as
an accomplished gentleman, He did not go
to Liberia under the inﬂuence of any society,
political or philsnthropic. but through his
personal conviction, that men of his color
would find it easier there than here to lake
such position as their character and talents
ought to command. His residence in Liberia
was not without its privations, but led even-
t'ually to no disappointment.
Two years ago. Capt. Roye purchased the
Eusebia, for the purpose of engaging in the
trade between Monrovia and New York He
has madewith her two round trips. and now
starts upon the third. The brig is of,200 tons
burden, Custom House measurement. . Her
mate and sailors, three in number, are whites.
The articles of commerce usually brought by
the Eusebia are palm Wood, palm-oil and
ivory. Capt. lioye sold his last cargo for
$19,500 cash, and at a satisfactdry profit.

Besides the Euscbia, there is in the Liberia
trade one other vessel—the bark Mendi—
owncd and managed by colored men. En-
couraged by Capt. Roye.’s example. those par-
ties nuve chartered and conditionally purcha-
sed the .llcndi. She sailed on her ﬁrst voyage
about a month ago.

These enterprises deserve notice. aside from

They are interesting as showing the capabili-
ty ofcolorcd men to cstablish a profitable
trade with Liberia, to own and manage ships.
and thus to give to their own colony position
and consideration among commercial commu~
nities . Capt. Roye, while doubtless acting for
his Own private advantage. like' other bush.

tion ofhis race in the respect and good opin-

SELLING THE LAWX'ERS.-f-On ,Sunday
night last a stray “ Billy Goat,” who bod
long‘ been a source of annoyance to the
Police was picked up by one of the sixth
'Preciuct force and conveyed to the Sta-
tion House, where he was locked up in
a cell like any other vugoboud. On
Monday morning the ofﬁcers thought
they would make a little fun out of “Bil-
ly’s” capture. So they sent word to a
noted criminal lawyer at the Tombs that
a client of his named William Goctz ”had
been arrested and was then confined in a
cell at the Sixth Precinct Station House-
Scizing his hat and cone, the lawyer rushl
ed to the rescue of his unfortunate client,
resolved if possible to get him bailed out.
On applying to the Sergeant in charge

mCOmmon sense has not departed
from the South as one might suppose
from reading the Administration organs.
In the tri-weckly National American of
Nov. 17th, published at Atlanta, Ga.,we
find the following :

“ The power Of the Democratic leaders
is on the wane. ‘nnd, as is the case when
that calamity is impending or liefulls
them, they become exceedingly agitated
and begin to discover signs of a dissolu-
tion of the Union. Such is the cnSe ’ust
now. Power is gliding from their gr p
at the North, and there is no inconsider-
able distrust of them at the South whose
peculiar guardians they assume’ to be.—
The audacious eﬂ't'outery with which De-
mOcratic leaders and a portioa of the De-
mocratic press assert that they are the
only parties to whom thevdoctrines of the
country can be entrusted is as contempt.-
ible as it is preposterous.

“W’hatever the future may developc,
we think the time has not yet: quite or;
rived fora. dissolution of the Union.—
Even the secret plotting and wire-work-
ing of Southern Democratic leaders will
fail to accomplish it ; and yet the next
Presid‘entsnay not and probably will not
be a Democrat. If the Union has been
able to withstand the many shocks re-
ceived already from the so called Demo-
cratic party, it can not pessibly be sun-
dercd by anything any other party may
do. The scarecrow of DlSlllllOll to be

rules are important to traveliers,and are not
as widely known as could be «lesxred :

It has been lately decided: that the appli-
cants for tickets on railroads can be ejected
from the cars, if they do not offer the exact
amouut‘of their fore. Cc nducfors are not
bound to make change.

All railroad tickets are ”coal until used,
and conditions "< good for t his day only” or
otherwise limiting the time. of genuineness
are of no account. ‘ . ‘

Passengers who lose fheir tickets can be
ejected from the cars unless they purchase a
second one. .

all reasonable demands to. .i-how tickets——
