MISCELLANY.
From the Charleston Courier.

II is both prudent and wise to re-
cur frequently To former times. and
to first principles; to the hopes with
which the bosoms of patriots through
ont the world, were inspired, at the
dawn of the American resolution;
and to the high anticipations which
were cherished nv sages and philan-
thrOpists, at its consummation. The
people of the United States have at
once glorious and fearful duty to
perform. They have exhibited, in
an age of revolutions. the consoling
example, that man is capable of H.
berty and OF self.goyernmont; Il they
have still to exhibit, in an age of
despotism. which affects 10 conceal
its principles i'm the mantle of an tho
~ alliance that their attachment
aud devotion to liberty is not impair
ed; and as the ark which contains
the rights aal liberties and hopes of
man, so far as relates to his political
happiness, has been confded to the
protection of their own wisdom aud
virtue, that they will not disappoint
the hopes of afflicted humanity! Let
there be unity and liberality, there.
fore, in sentiment and action, among
all the citizens Of our happy country.
for the promotion Of the general
welfare; and in all the storms which
may agitate communities, let the pub
lie good ever be the primary object.
With these views and feelings. I
have made the following extracts for
publication:
Dir. Turgot, Comptroller of the Finances
OF France, to Dr.. Price, dated Paris,
March s2. 1878.
"Perbaps the private interests of
powerful individuals will concur with
the prejudices Of the multitude, in
opposing the exertions of true wis
dom and sincere patriotism, in the
United States" alt is impossible not
to offer up prayer, that this people
may attain the highest degree ofpros-
perity of which they are susceptible.
They are the hope Of hamaa nature:
they may become its great example,"
"The asylum which they open to the
oppressed of all nations. ought to
console the EARTH" s"rhey ought to
set the example of political liberty,
of religious liberty, of liberty ofcom-
merce aud industry" "But these
great advantages will be lost. if A.
merica should become the counter
part of Europe. mass of divided
powers, contending together for ter.
ritory, or for the emoluments of COM
merce, and constantly cementing
the slavery of the people, with the
peoples blosd."
Mirabeau's Reflections on Doctor Prices
work 'On the importance OF the Anne
rican Revolution" 1885.
"What terrible revelations in the
manners and constitution OF the Uni
ted States of America, must have
been in the contemplation OF those
who have supposed them threatened
with such contests and wars as have
converted Europe into theatre Of
devastation & murder! Never before
did such urgent interests strengthen
the bonds of fraternity among
Slen. The citizens of each of those
States never. surely. can forget. how
inuch they owe to the citizens of ALL
THE oTHER STATES. At every step

GEN. La FaYETTE.

The progress of La Fayette contin-
nos marked with undated testimonies
OF Enthusiasm. We cannot afford room
tor the details of his visit to Alexandria,
Mount Vernon and other places. They
consisted OF civil addresses and militia
parades and public feasts. We select a
few extracts.
On the arrival Of the steamboat at
Mount Vernon, the General was rowed
in barge, manned by masters of yes
sells. At me tomb Mr.. Gusts, of Airing
ton, presented the General with a ring
containing some of the hair Of the faith

ish feet. The Ipsaricts made their ISL
and complete desert. carried away
part of their cannon, spiked others, con-
tided their wives and children to the
Hydriots and Spezziots, with an affect
ing recommendation, and then all went
Oh board their fire ships, with the fixed
resolution either to burn the Turkish
feet, or perish in the attempt.-Cana-
ris is said to be at their head. The next
arrivals will probably bring cs accounts
of an important battle.-The Egyptian
squadron had arrived off Rhodes. 1t is
under. the command of lbrahim Pacha,
son of the Viceroy, and it consists Of 100
sail, having on board, according to
some reports, nearly 10000 men, who
are to be landed IN the Morea. AS soon
as the Greek government heard that the
Egyptian fleet had left Alexandria, they
sent part of their fleet to watch its
motions and attack it. Very favourable
results were expected, as the troops
who composed the Egyptian expedition
are an assemblage Of Arabs, Negroes,
and Albanians.

great dexterity they broke to a suitable
length, while others gaining The whal-

fish when caught, continued most fu-

parity, the crew succeeded in driving
them TO the stem of the vessel, where
they leaped overheard and regained
their canoes. 1t is worthy of remark,
that when any Of the natives were
wounded, or stunned by being knocked
down, they were instantly thrown by
their comrades into the sea, where they
either swan or were picked UP by their
companions, who, frequently attempted
TO accompany them TO return, but were
always repulsed in endeavOuring to get
up the sides, and throughout encouraged
them by loud cheering. On their quit

firing, and though greatly exhausted,
having a ready supply of ammunition, ii
was kept up while within musket shot,
but with what effect is not known, as
several they supposed killed, from their
falling into the water, were seen to rise
and regain their canoes; nearly the
whole of the ships company were
wounded severely in this attack.
The retreat of the savages was as
sudden as the attack; from their mode
of which, their pronunciation OF certain
words, their jealousy in parting from
their weapons, the seizure of peculiar
implements and converting them into
weapons, the attack and seizure Of the
captain, and its commencing when there
were fewest on the deck, the crew con-

concerted and organized by Europeans
or Americans, resident in the Island.
What deferred them from entertaining
