The Duke of Wellington acknowledged in the House of Lords, that it would be- ridiculous in him to think himself qualified to act as Prime Minister o England, though he thought himself qualified to com mand her armies. Modesty seems to have deserted republics, and taken refuge in courts. Such sent ment as this from Gen. Jackson would have rendered him irnmortal--but he seems better disposed to act on the maxim, "to keep what he gets, and get what he can''---[R Rich. Whig.1

Accidentally taking up number of the '' City Gazette," published five and twenty years ago, my attention was fixed by certain names once familiar to my sight and read the whole with deeper inter- est, and more solemn emotion, than ever supposed an old newspaper could possibly inspire. The various classes of fsociety, as they lived and moved and had their being in 1902, passed in review before me; and in relation to each the question occurred with increasing interest, our fathers, ,Dhere are they?
 Where are those eager aspirants after wealth, those restless votaries of commer- cial enterprise who five and twenty years ago, thronged these streets and wharves, and toiled in these slores with untiring per- severance Seek them in their favorite places of resort.

From Flints Ualley of the Mississippi.
 "We continued to float on through this deep and inundated forest when at right an- gles to our course we discovered another O. pening. It was the Arkansas, moving on with majestic current of waters, of the col our of anattO dye. This is next to the Missouri, and from it's mouth, by its mean- ders to the mountains, is commonly compu- ted about 2,00O miles. Its course has been traced in these mountains at least 500 miles, and it is believed that the source of the Ar kansas has not yet been explored by our peo- pie. One singularity distinguishes this river from any other in the United States. Where it winds along among the mountains, all agree that it is bread and deep river, and carries a great volume of water. But no sooner does it emerge from the shelter of woods and mountains into a boundless and arid plain, composed to a great depth of quicksands, than it begins to disappear ; and in hundred miles from the very elevated mountains, near which it enters upon the plain, it iSfordable during the Summer. Still lower down it is d stream, according to the well known phrase of the country, " sunk in the sand ;" that is, 1t trickles amidst the banks of sand and peb- bles, so as, in many places, to exhibit dry channel of burning sand from bank to bank.
 Here, on these vast sandy plains. which will for ages be the Syrtes of America, the home of eks and buffaloes, are the wild fields of those rich native grapes, that aE travellers in these regions, ve>spoken of in terms of such admiration. They are said to be cenic- al in shape, large, of a beautiful blue, and transparent. The driving sands rise around the stem, that advances still above the sand. This sand performs the best office of pruning, covering the superfuous growth and foliage, indicating no wounds, and affordng good method of ripening the clusters in the his hest perfection by the reflection of the sun from the sand In the expedition of Major Long, the exteme sweetness of these grapes is re- corded, and other travellers have borne the same testimony.

Pennsylvania Militia Training !
PHILA DELPHIA, MA

PHILADELPHIA, MAY28. Militia Muster.--Milita far, commonly called Battalion day. was duly soemnized at Orwisburg, in this county, on Wednesday last. Those of OHr readers who have not wit messed these gatherings, must be informed it is festival of no small magnitude The whole country is gathered together, men, wo-
 men, boys and girls, old and young, meet and dance, romp, drink, fight, and "cut up high."-Labour of all kinds is suspended, villages and hamlets are vacated, & every soul whether subject to military duty or not. if capable of shaking a leg, trudge of by dawn of day, dressed in their best, to the place of rendezvous, which is usually one fthe prin- ciple towns. It may be remarked there are generally quite as many women present as men, and three times as many spectators as soldiers. In fact, soldering has very little to do with the matter. Discipline, order. and subordination are by common consent banish- ed from the field and lost in the din of shoot ing, hOoting, drinking and dancing. The people gather together for "a frolic"-.. a re- al tear down frolic. and they are determined, to have 1t. and have it they do and wlll. Im- provement in military science and tactics, is no part of their concerns and is as little attend ed to as the last Sundays sermon. .S
 AwOrd ortwO descriptive of the mode of proceeding on these Battalion days may not
 be uninteresting to some of our readers. The first thing heard in the morning is the random firing ofguns. scrapins of fddles, and boister- ous mirth and congratulations of the yo,,De
 rustics. By seven or eight o'clock the Hep-
 sesn commences. The following is the pro.
 cess. Each tavern is provided with one or
 more iddlers. Each lad with a sweetheart. a wife, or locum te''ens. The dance is three or six handed reel. A gentleman asks two others, to join him, they pay the fiddler a l"tp' or a sstepg, and go to work with most laudahle zeal and industry.
