COrrespOndeMce ofthe U. s. Gazette.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 8, 1881.


 Had any collector of materials for polit- ical biography been present in the Senate on Monday, he might have obtained some spicy ingredients for history ot the last days of Gen. Samuel Smith. In no hu- man composition was thcrc ever more liberal admixture of inconsistency, folly, and egotism; and no mans tongue ever exhibited greater recklessness to betray these fraities to the world. Every audit or responded to the truth of the allegation which MT. Clay made against him, when he addressed him to the following efect.- " There are two errors common to hu- man nature: ono is, to ovcr-estimate our own knowledge, and the other to under- rate the knowledge of others. And know of no man who is more prone to both these errors, than the Senator from Mary land." The General 6dgeted in his seat, suffering his rage to express itself only in his countenance, and his movements, and such broken ejaculations as-"I won't be provoked''-" l'll take no notice. of it''- " I won't"-"I won't" &c. But when Mir. Clay cast at him the quotation descrip- tive of the worn out politician tottering to the last, the Maryland Senator could no longer be restrained. He bounced on his feet with all the agility of youth, and broke out in strain of incoherent vehemence, which can never be accurately communi- cated on paper. "Totter, indeed me totter! No, no, have not come 10 that. l am two-and-twenty years older than the Senator from Kentucky; but not so bad as that. Totter, indeed, no, no,-no man can call me tottering. know my situa- ton too well and l know what is due to the dignity of the Senate, or else could say things of the Senator of Kentucky"-
 The ce-Presidcnt, order."1 At this point, the clear, strong voice of Mr. Clay was heard through all the Senate Chamber -" l dare you." Vice-Presidcnt, " or der.' "But won't," resumed the Gen. eial--" won't go into these things-I know my duty better" This may give you some faint idea of the character of the few closing sentences in the debate of Monday. No one present felt any pity for the visible agonies ofa man who has de- ceived his constituents as General Smith has done; and every one exul,s in the con- viction that another session will make the termination of his political career, and con- sign him to path where his inconsistency, folly and ego.ism will be limited in their exhibition to a circle of forbearing friends and hungry expectants.

THE MONEY COINER. By the Author of" Village Tales"

Look into those they call unfortunate,
 "And, closer view d sou'll find they arc unwise."
 You've.
 There is not word in the whole vo- cabulary of the English language, more frequently misapplied, than the word {" un- .tOrtunate." MT. A. respectable riier- chant of my early acquaintance, neglected, one cold winters night, to take care of his store fire, and, before ,norning, the build- ing with half his fortune in it., was reduced to ashes; nothing would suit my old friend Timothy Tandem, when he came out to see me last Jannary, but he must drive a- cross the ice on the Shippany creek-he was warned that it was hazard, but on he dashed, and his 6nc horse and gig, worth something like eight hundred, went to the bottom, and his pocket book, containing the whole proceeds of his corn crop, a handsome sum, was missing when he came out; and my next neighbor, who has all the celebrated harangue of Poor Richard at the vendue, by heart, and retails more proverbs than he sells bushels of corn, for got the other evening to put up a pair of bars that led into an eight acre grain field, and next morning he found six or eight of his cattle had made repast upon it that proved fatal to one half of lhem.- My poor friends are pitied for their mislortunes, and these mysterious dispensations of Prov idence have each occasioned their nine days of wonderment; while Jack Hoyt, the robber, who was sent to the State- ris- on a month ago, on a ten years appren- ticeship, did not hear sympathetic sigh frrNn AIVn s~ENo A4 k:a sentence, all agreeing the punishment was scarcely equal to the crime for which it was inflicted.
 This Providence, about which so much is said, l believe is, after all, fair dealer 1; and made up suy mind in this respect long before l camo across the little sen- teEce I have placed at tho head of my narrative. When we meet with losses, and are suffering under the effects of our own errors and carelessness, we cry out " unfortunate unfortunate !'' ascribe tho disasters that overtake us to the hand of ari over-ruling power, and are ready to ques- ton the justness of ouE punishment ; while these losses and disasters are tho natural consequences of our own doings, and could not in fact be prevented from falling upon us but by the direct and particular inter- position of an almost miraculous power.- This will be illustrated as proceed to ia- troduce my readers to an honest hearted soul as ever lived-Charles Clemens of Alesbury-alias-" The Money Coiner," hand and glove acquaintance of Bob Hawthorn of Holburn Hill, and whose hammer is at this moment sounding in my ear.

PoUerty.-The misery which is suppos- ed to follow poverty, arises not from want, but fron. peevishness and discomfort. A mind once satisfied. if alas a mind can be satisfied upon this subject, is happy; for he who is thoroughly wet in bath canh0t bc more wet if he be flung into the sea.--- The mind is all for if a man had all the world, or solid mass ofgold as big as the world, he couldnot have more than enough.

THE Unicsrsi,y Of Trgiaia The public ex-
ercises of this Institution took place on tuesday
last, fthe 18th inst They were highly interest
ING and imposing The Orations and Essays did
much credit to the young gentlemen who were
selected for the occasion, and were listened to
with pleasure and admiration by a numerous,
intelligent and brilliant audience. Thomas
Semmes, Jr. Of Alexandra ID. O., and Wm-
Ashe Aston of South Carolina were the Orators;
and Ethelbert 4. Coleman OF HALIFAX, and
George Nicoson Johnston OF Richmond, the Es-
sayists-The very large number OF Students
whose names were announced. as having been
distinguished, as well at the intermediate as hnai
examination Of the Session, affords the strongest
evidence of the progress Of the Students gener-
ally, and the excellency of the system, and the
extent Of the facilities, which enabled them to
acuuit themselves with SO much honor and cred
il. Aud we are strengthened in the assurance,
that these need only be duly appreciated, to give
10 the Institution that high reputation, to which II
il already entitled, and which il is no doubt des
tined to attain.
The number of those who received diplomas
in testimony Of their having passed the requisite
examinations for graduation in the several
Schools was greater than at any previous Ses'
sion--For the first time since the commence
ment of the Institution, the degree OF NJ. A. was
conferred, and Mr.. George Nicoison Johnston OF
Richmond, was the object of this high, yet mer-
tied, honor.
Most of the Students have already left the
University: we are much gratihed to learn, how
ever, that in all probability, large proportion OF
them will return at the commencement OF the
next Session.
The board Of Visitors, after session Of more
than a week, adjourned on "Wednesday last

THE WASHING ron CITY CHRONICLE.

I p.rceiyc that this journal has fallen into the
hands Of B. HoMANs, Esq. and am happyto nnd
that it is rapidly recovering the literary and mo-
raj tone by which it was, at hrst distinguished
/ am much pleased with the promise 1t now gives
Of regainins its former character, and OF Decom-
inc. once more, a valuable and interesting FAINT
" paper. The enterprlsing publisher deserves
the patronage of the public, and have no doubt,
If he continues as he has begun, that 1t Will De
conferred. 1t has always struck me as a singu-
lar fact, that almost every attempt to sustain
literary and miscellaneous paper at the metroPo-
lis of our country should fail. There ought, one
would think, 10 be readers enough IN DISTRICT
with population of $4,000 to support per'odl
cal of this kind, exclusively devoted to literary
moral and miscellaneous subjects, and altogether
unconnected with party politics. For the itsra.
~ reputation Of our District, an united effort
should be made to support. at least, one journal
of this kind, and especially one which the most
sensitively delicate can read with manifest edith
cation and pleasure. Every head OF family
should be its patron, aud thus introduce into ms
domestic circle a vehicle OF moral and literary
intelligence from which great and permanent be-
nefits and blessings might result; and surely no
Young mao could more prof.ably employ the
small amount il would annually cost than IN SUD-
scribins to, and regularly reading, such paper
While thus speak of the matter Of the Chroni-
Gle in terms which its present merits justly de-
serve, | must be permitted, however to say
that its typographical execution is inferior to
what it was wont to be three or four years ago.
The arrangement, too. is defective. l regret to
see tine leading editorial articles placed IN the
rear of the minor ones or preceded by small pa
racranhs of little interest. This will however,
suppose, be soon corrected, and an increased
patronage enable the proprietor to render It as
pleasing to the eye as it now u.s. and 1 trust VIII
