4 Ne,o Mode of silencing the Prcss,-The Editor of the Natchez Gazette had the misfortune, last month"; to have his office entered at night by some villain or villains who succeeded in rendering both presses perfectly useless by deprving them of their companion leavers to the spindle. The perpetrators of the shameful and attrocious act remain unknown but it is known to be the work of printer, as none other could have been sufficiently acquainted with the machinery of press, to cripple them effecu- ally in the dark. After the lapse of two weeks, dur ing which time the work of the office was suspend ed, the levers were found concealed in neigboring celar But the veteran editor, Col. Marschalk, not thinking himself or his property safe in town where he has been so rudely treated, has after residence oftwenty years, been compelled to remove with his press to the town of Washington, six miles distant where the gazette is published Last year the against printers ragged in Tennessee, where of the craft fined most unmercifully for copying into his paper something which related to Judge residisg in Col.

These IS degree of hbsrality and urgency ln ihe succeeding remarks taken from the Cincinnati Ame- ican which enttle them to the serious consideration of every citizen of the United States, no matter whether he espouses or opposes Masonry.
 The nomination of Mir Wirt by the antmasonic convention has excited very little comment among the editorial corps. The remarks of the National Republican Editors generally have been approbatory of the character of Mir Wirt without expressing any decided opinion as to the policy propriety of the course he has adopted. In matter of snch mo- ment iu the actual state of parties, we should think this course at least allowable, if not commendabe.- We are from principle opposed to the an-masonic excitement, and regret extremely, that it should be brought into the Presidential election; and still more so, that Mir Wirt or any other of his standing, should lend himself to the views of a party winch has commenced its career by publicly ayowing the most relentless system Qf prescription practlsed in any community. IL would be inconsistent with the character which he has uniformly sustained, for amenity and genteness of disposition, and all the mlder virtues. to suppose him capable of prostitut- ing the patronage of office to such violent and gn0- ble purposes We have no idea that Mir Wrt would personally engage in so unhallowed vocation. We believe he speaks sincerely on this subject But we should fear his influence would do very lte towards modcrating the wrath of the an-masonic crusade. We hope upon more mature reflection, he vii! with draw from the contest and not consent to minister fuel to the flame which burns already with an inten- sity unparalleled in the history of political parties, and threatens to desoate the country with all the fu- " of the Guelp and Ghbne factions of Florence, which plunged that free and fOurishing, rich and powerful city into all the horrors of anarchy civil VI ar, and eventual ruin.

 are ranged around on two circular grndatons. Tn columns of smaller proportions than those of the
 other Hall. and support Gallery surrounding the apartment, surmounted with a handsome baus- trade The ceiling corresponding with the figure of the room, is circular and slightly concave.
 The Rotunda which is just finished, down to the Gallery floor presents one of the most Ieautfn, chaste and delicate specimens of Grecian arch- lecture to be found in country. Sixt,en feet from the floor of the Gallery belt of Gredan fret work surrounds the apartment, forming a Iase on which rests eight Cornthan Piasters. supporting their entablatures formed of Stucco.
 From the top of the cornce springs the Dome divided into plain sunken compartments who's, cha racterizng beauty is thelr extreme simplicity The view upward is terminated by the small dome of the Lanthorn, ,ornamented wth handsome centre piece In the finish of this apartment it is impossible to point out what could have been added or what omitted, to have heightened the effect of the composition as a whole Every thing appears appropriate and in its proper place: the ornaments. though rich, are yet chaste and delicate, filling but not overlooking the eye; among them the foliage of the Corinthian Capitals are beyond description fich and beautiful and look as natural as the Acanthus plant on the tomb of the Athenian maiden, from which Callima chus first took his idea of the order
 Upon the whole this superb edifce is the pride of our State and justly exriios tho wondel and admra- ton of all srangers and for beauty and bodness of outline in its general design for correct and ele gance and richness of finish, as well as for conve- nience and economy of space in its internal arrange ment, we think we may safely say, challenge com parison with any building of similar character in the Union; and, not the least of its recommendations, such has been the economy of expenditure observ- ed in its erection it has cost less than any building of equal magnitude in the country

The news brought by the brig Cronstadt from St. Petersburgh to Boston, if true, is calculated to set Europe in flame. It is stated that pastports had been made out for the French ambassador, resident at the Russian court notifying him that his presence was no longer necessary there, because of nstruc- tions from his government directing him to insist upon the cessation of hostilities between Russia and Poland This information is derived from the depu- ty of the American Consul at Cronstadt, and was confirmed, (says the Capt. of the brig) by the Rus sian officer who signed hls passport.

Our State Capitol, which, at the last Session of the Legislature. in unfinished state, is now nearly completed, The plan of the building is that of the Greek Cross surmounted at the intersection of the arms, with lofty Dome of graceful contour upon which is placed Lanthorn for the admission of light into the Rotunda within The exterior is grand imposing and striking in its proportions, and productive of the most pleasing sensations to the cultivated mind. The principal entrance is through spacious vestibule in the east wing, on the right and left of which are placed the grand star-cases leading to the second story A massive archway opens from the vesbule, into the Rotunda, situated immediately in the centre of the building, forty feet in diameter running up through it's whole height From the Rotmda the entrance is to the Supreme Court Room, in the west wing. This apartment is of quadrangular form, and of ample dimension for the accommodation of the highest tribunal known to our laws A part of the allotted to spectators is separated from the Court by coonade, the or der and proportions of which appropriately cho- from the Portico of that beautiful octagonal ed flee at Athens, the tower of Andronicus Cyrrhestes more commonly known the Temple of the Winds An enriched cornice. peculiar to the order, is contn ued around the room. From tho Rotunda, spacious corridors lead through the north and south wings; on either side of which are offices for the accommo- daton of the different officers of the government.- The north and south entrances are protected by De- ric Porticos of heavy proportions from the Temple of Thesus.
 Ascending either staircase from the vestibule the landing is platform, from winch door i'm medately opens into the Gallery encircng the Ro- tunda, and out of which doors to the north and south open directly into tile Legislative Halls, and to the west, to the cerss apartments and committee rooms The Representative Hall is, within the walls, of quadrangular form, but thrown by an Ionic colo made, into semi-eliptical figure Directly in front of the entrance is the elevated rostrum of the Spea ker, fanked on either side by luted Ionic column, corresponding with those which sustain the gallery and ceiling supporting the proper entabature ofthe order, on the Frieze of which written Pro Patria reminding the Legislator of the end and object of his delegation That part of the ceiling over the Speakers chair is arched and ornamented with sunken panels and rosears; the remainder is semi eptcal A heavy cornice of stucco, highly enrich ed surrounds the room. At a convenient elevation Gallery for the accommodation of spectators is in- serted in the columns, which support the ceiling.- The floor of this Hall is broken into gradations, ris- ing above another, as they recede from the Spea ker. The Senate Chamber is in the other end of the building opposite the Representative Hall, and of the same size within the walls; but, by Corn- n.ctrastyle of12 columns thrown into circular form. The Presidents seat is placed between two
