THE NEW CARINEr

Westatcd last week, that Mir. Living ston and Mfr. Woodbury had been ap- pointed, the first Secretary of State, and Ithe second Secretary of the Navy. Both have entered upon the duties of the res pectiye offices. We believe it will net be unacceptable 10 our readers 10 have a short sketch of these two distinguish ed citizens, who now hold sue:l promi- nent stations in the councils of the re- public. These sketches are taken and arranged from late publications.

which nc naS sDcicrged, aifu cspcCiaiiy in bringing before the Scnate and car rylne through il, tbe various measures recommended by the Committee on Commerce. Great asis the amount ofta- lent in the next Senate We fear that his place as chairman Of that committee will be hardly supplied. Coming from a commercial quarter of the Union, he has entered warmly into the support of the interests of trade and navigation, and has lost no opportunity of impfoying all the advantages for obtaining useful knowledge on these subjects, afforded either by his public station, rhis exten- sive acquaintance with men of business. . Amidst the pursuits of law and Poli- tics, Judge 4Yoodbury has not neglect ed the cultivation of letters. As a member of the joipt Library Commit lee Of Congress, he has manifested great zeal..as well as good taste. in forming a collection of books of which the coun- try may well be proud; and as q seHa- tor, he has introduced or aided various measures for the promotion of learning and arts. From the circumstances of his situation. and tie interest he takes in naval matters, his knowledge on this subject is extensive, and the naval ser vice could not find among our public men a more jealous and efiicent friend.
 A gentleman in Fayetteville. under date of May 3l, writes his brother. that there is-but one block of buildings stand-
 ing in that town. For mile in length, and half mile in width, there is not a house standing. peculiarly fortunate that no lives were lost in the general confagration. Since the. fire several people have died. probably from exces- sive anxiety and fatigue. The town af- lords TO medicine for the sick, and provisions are said to be 100 per cent. advance. The case of our distressed fellow-citizens in Fayetteville, calls for the humane and charitable disposition of all. Hundreds of those who were.in comfortable circumstances before the fire, found themselves, by the act of Providence. reduced immediately to ab- solnte penury and want, without tie means of providing for themselves and families food and raiment; they had no where to lay their heads. The distress is general throughout the wh,4e eommn- ui3; they arc ali sufferers, without the means of administering to each others relief.

Rrc.IEARD NJ. JoHssoS.-Tn allusion to the rumour that the War Depart mcnt had been or would be offered to Mir. Johnson, the New York Sentinel makes the following just remarks:-
 sCol. Johnson was for fro years q member of the legislature of Kentucky, for the county in which he had resided from infancy; and for tzrenty5foar since. he has been a member either of the House of Representatives or of tie Senate of the United States, and ex- cepting the time he was absent from Washington inthe service Of his coun- try as Colonel Of a regiment of volai1- tecrs, TO man in the same situation has devoted more of his time and attention to his iegislatives duties.

By the Mexican brig Soncho Paasa, which arrived the day before yesturday from Tanpico, with SIl5,000 10 Sun. dry merchants of tl,is city, letters haze been received UP to the llth ilsf. The papers of Mexico of the slstof May, slate that on the 25th of that month, colonel Don Juar Jose Codallas the only chief who yet maintaifed an hostile attitude towards the Mcxiear o. vernment, had been taken or the heighisI of the Cosnal. T'he letters receircdhy this arrival as well as those received pre-. viously by the schooner Comitd, scenic agree in stating that in all the states ith the exception of Yucatan, which the Mexicans hope will return from isl error and very soon re-incorpcrate itsel'i with the federation, there reigns tbeI greatesttrapquillily.
 One of the letters, which we nave bei fore us, written by very respectabl| person of the city of Mexico, say s amonSb other things:--s'Domestic peace is ee. menting on durable basis, prosperity and credit are progressing, and 1t lsas' sured with a rapidity incredible to any one who is not acquainted with the good sense of the Mcxicans and the elemeFls of wealth and plenty which have ialIea to this unfortunate country.'
 
 Roat Roads.-Thc importance of s -cilitating and expediting transportatie by means of rail roads, and the pracR cability of constructing them, apPear' be rapidly gaining converts in the wes' as well as in the older and more highly improved parts of our country. n plan is said to be in contemplationforconfest ing the Tennessee and Mississippi rIyeH by a rail road from the head of the Musl cle Shoals to Memphis. The Hunisl vile Advocate asserts that "a sliei'l capitalist, a gentleman of extensive 'n1 formation on this as weii as on other snei jects.and having gnointcrestinth hefenhes:t see Valley, has professed his wiilil1gaeaso9 oao to take stock to the amount of lNf.oVo dollarso in such rail road. ihe FiO ject is a mighty one and its-exeenno' would reflect credit on western el'e' prise and public spirit.

General Diebitsch.-The Prince Row al Of Prussia has made very good pun on the name of this thick headed dwarf. You know he is called "Diebitsch Sa- balkanski." ;" The Prince named him without affection, and as if the express sion had escaped him, Diebitsch Sabal- kanieht. which means Diebitsch "ar.o eannot." This pun, which, as do all oth- CTS, loses by being translated, is excel lent in the German language. The great Captain, the drop of the colossal Russian Empire, is now called by no oth- CT name in Berlin. The King of prus- sia's daughters-in-iaw are quite enthusi- astic in the cause of the Poles. it is even said that they are often employed with the ladies of the Court in making lint for the wounded of Warsaw.

10 The National Republicans and Friends Of
Henry Clan, in the State of Pirginia;

National Republicans and Fellow-CitiZens!!-
You will pardon me, when express surprise at
your inactivity and supineness, amid the stirring
events which are occurring around US. have
been waitins--anxiously waiting, for movement
ia our State, commensurate with the deep inte-
rest and magnitude Of the occasion, cooperative
with our Sister States, in the grand scheme OF
National Convention. 1t is time for the popular
voice to be heard. The imminent peril Of our
dearest interests, should stimulate us to prompt
and decisive action. The times require, and the
cause of our country demands it. National Re-
publicans! 1t is time to check the progress Of
misgoverument-to rePel the wanton invasion OF
our sacred rights-to stay the daring hand OF
usurpatiou-and roll back the swelling tide of
corruption, which threatens to overwhelm US.
Let il not be said, that Virginans were back
ward in the glorious cause Of freedom! They
have never been slow to resent their country's
wronys-whether inflicted BY the open attacks of
a foreign foe, or the more covert, but not less
dangerous invasion of a domestic enemy, under
the pretext of acting by authority Of the Consti-
tuition. Bold, independent and intelligent, they
have ever been foremost to sound the alarm. when
danger impended. Will they abate any thing of
their patriotic vigilance, or steadfast enterprise?
will they temporize, or remain lukewarm and
indifferent, when the character Of their institu-
