lsraeiites in Europe have been con
suited on the subject, and that the
project has been favorabiy received by
many. The plan is to send AN army

combined auspices Of England and
France, and to take possession Of Pal

that power, but at all events to lay the
foundation Of a new empire in the
East, in which the Jews Of Europe,
would occupy the FIRST rank. on condi-

Iof the room stood a young man neatly
dressed IN black, with the pale and
thoughtful countenancc of student
and dark frowning brow overshadow-
led an eye Of piercing contempt.
Thought Re felt a deep interest in the
scene then transacting, though his po-
Isition Of retirement protected him
from attention, while his high brow
and closed lips bespoke no less firm
ness than inefiable contempt. Such
was the situation ofthe company, sud-
denly the fair victim screamed out
with great agitatlon-1I never will

Ishe rushed to the other room, followed
BY crowd Of young ladies, declaring
that she had as much fortitude to i'm.
molate herself on burning pile, as to
marry one she loathed-and could
never love.
The father then told her to come
out, and as she was ruined, she might
marry any man present, who was fool
enough to hdue her. Out she came with
Joyful countenance, and was met by
the aforesaid ssbook-worm," whose
dark, proud and contemptuous brow
was lighted up with triumph, and a
poets thought Of manly delight darted
from an expressive eye. They were
Immediately married.
On the floor, still stood a disap-
pointed weight-in an attitude morti-

effort however, he turned to the ladies
and delivered himself as follows, As

As many of our readers may be in
Iterested in knowing where the Head
General Of our Army was born, how
he was educated, how he looks, &c.
We will enGeavor to satisfy them or
sundry Of these points, from Richards
Memoirs lately published.
General Maconb-whOw was of Irish
decent Oh the fathers side, and French
on the mothers-was born al Detroit
on the Sd Of April, 1872. He is nov
of course, in his 5lst year. As De-
troit was at that time military post,
he may almost have been said, observes
his biographer, to have been bursed in
field and fortress, and rocked BY the
storms Of war. He became II favorite
with the soldiers of the garrison. lie
was handled on the soldiers knee, fed
at the soldiers mess, his eyes were
dazzled with the gorgeous pageantry
ola military parade, and his car de-
lightned with the rousing strain oil
martial music.
While vet an infant, however, his
father removed to this city, N. York, J
where the son spent the early days OF
his childhood. When eight years OF
age, be was sent to the Newark AGA
DENY, which was then under the charge
Of the Rev. Doctor Usual Ogden.
lie there received the rudiments of a
classical, mathematical, and French
education. There also his foDdness
for doing battIe,-and his talents for
commanding first discovered them
selves, in a juvenile affray with the
young sons Of St. Crisbin. The chal-
lenge came from the latter, who ap-
peared en- ,nass before the students.
A combat ensued, in which Macomh
took the lead; and in which after a
severe struggle with fists and sticks,
the Crispins were driven from the
field. In subsequent affray, It wa.
agreed that each party should selec,
4 champion, and decide the contest &C.
cording to the laws Of pugllism Ma
comb, then but thirteen years Of age
entered the ring on the side Of the
students; where, by means Of the
pugilistic art, which he had cultivated
under his brother-in-law, he honorably
maintained the combat against the
brawny arms and athletic strength Of
his antagonist.
At the age Of fourteen, he minated
to his father a desire to enter the army
or navy. But his father deemIng .
good education Of the greatest conse
sqaence, refused his consent. He tool
him home, and caused him to be par
,ticularly instructed lnmatbematics and
drawing, andengaged masters TO per

feet him in the arts Of fencing and RI
ding.
At the age Of sixteen he entered
company volunteers, called the New
York rangers and soon after, the coun-
try being then apparently on the eve
OF war with France, he received from
General Washington the appointment
of cornet in a company OF light drag
oons. commissioned to rank on the 10Th
of January, 1891; whence he dates his
military service in the army Of the U.
Estates.
In 1904, when the military academy
was first organised at West Point, Ma
comb received the appointment Of first
lieutenant of the corpse Of engineers;
and he is considered the eldest gradu-
ate now in the service, from that an
stitution. He was soon appointed to
the duty ofadjutant, (being then but
twenty years Of age charged with the
ofthe cadets in their mill
|tary exercices.
His subsequent life, previous to the
late war, was mostly occupied in the
engineer department., in various sta
tions-a department in which he is con-
sidered to be a thorough proficient.
Ofhis conduct during the war, the lau.
rels he won at Plattsburgh and the sta
ton he now holds, the public need not
be informed.

MR. EDIrox-l wish to pu blish the
particulars Of a couple Of weddings, at
which l was present, during the first
week of March last, in the State Of
Virginia. The facts are briefly these,
emitting names: A young lady OF
responsibility and WEALTH, had the
bad luck to respond to the slender
passions" which an intelligent, NOR
al, but POOR; swain was silly enough to
whisper ia her innocent ear-while a
7reoithy rival, VITO could read a sign
board or hand-biil pretty distinctly,
and hunted foxes. offered to let the
fair one occupy his ''bed and board
in capacity of-wiie. The poor girl
very naturally objected to being taken
on these terms; but her parents, being
fond of money, gave her to understand
~ means Of retaining their favour and
protection, and threatened to box her
lars soundly if she continued her fool
lsh snubbing. The wedding day was
appointed, the intended son-in-law be-
ing Very much pleased, unfortunately
delayed the ceremony, by reason Of
that disposition which results from a
protracted debauch. In the mean
time the young lady was frequently
lectured and cxpostulated with BY her
mother. The only argument which
the daughter could urge, was that she
loved another, who although not rich,
was young, intelligent, virtuous and
studious in an honorable calling, in
which he might win distinction-at
any rate a decent support. On the
other hand she told her mother that
she never could respect, much less
love Il stupid clown. and semi-brute
withal, who had no sentiments or feel
lings in common with her. This warm
and natural speech was Of course ridi-
culed BY the old lady, as mere poetry,
and the evils of poverty were then
painted in gloomy coiors, &c. So the
marriage was to take place and the
''Poor book worm," rs the old lady
called him. was invited with the otheu
inumeg Gus guests.
The ceremony was to be performed
and the bride who was pretty girl OF
feeling and sentiment, was led to tine
altar with trembling reluctance. The
parson rose to proceed-and l pitied
Ithc mortified victim, and never so fully
appreciated the cold depravity of sa
lcriflcing young and tender affections

SThe spread Of knowledge has given
birth to civil liberty; the increase and
improvement of knowledge must give
it stability and security. The fortunes
of the civilized world are now embar-
ked III this cause. The great decps
are breaking up, and the ark that is to
ride out the coming storm must have
skill engaged in its construction, and
wisdom to preside at its helm. The
warfare Of opinion is already begun,
and for Its safe direction, knowledge
must take the leading staff. In this
war not the mighty captain, but the
schoolmaster is to marshal the hosts to
battle. ltis he that is to train tie
minds which are to engage in the con-
test. 1t is he that is to train up orators
and legislators, statesmen and rulers:
and he, too, IS to form the body polite
of the world. Would the free spirits
of the world look to the defence and
hope Of their cause? Il is 20 dubious
Question where they must look.
Their outposts are free schools: their
|citadels arc universities; their NUM-
tions are books, and the mighty engine
that is to huri destruction upon the lc-
lgions ofdarkness, is the free press
Other ages have struggled with other
weapons; but the Panoply Of this age
must be knowledge: the cleaning Of
its aru,or must be the fire that flashes
from the eye Of free. bigh-minded pub
Iiic oninion. Call this complimentiDg,
|oall it speculation, call it what you
will: but the doctrine il true: and, over
the Liberties OF the world, whether
lprostrate or triumphant, that truth
must rise brighter and brighter for

ticulars of their conduct, as evidences oy
the fact that they will net in hostility to
every other party when we know that
by the political creed, openly avowed,-
nay boosted of, printed and published to
the world by them;-they are pledged
and bound TO vote against every man,
who is not one OF their own political par
''ty; every man who is not proiessed po-
litical anti-mason' TO this creed, we
find they have SO far adhered ). and no
doubt they will continue TO adhere to it,
so long-and not IL minute longer-so
long as they shall be able to persuade
themselves that it is the philosophers
stone whichis ultimately to bless them with
all the offices, emoluments, salaries, hon
ors, and powers Of government. This
being the fact, let us repeat the inquiry
what would be the condition Of the Ge-
neral Assembly and of the State, should
political sect, entertaining such hopes
and prospects of fsell-aggrandizement, be
put into complete possession Of one
branch of the government We have
already wasted too much time upon this
inquiry, and will waste no more. il is
but too certain, that, holding the same
position in the Gen. Assembly as they
have held in the State elections ; they
would act the same part; and would, ci-
ther refuse TO join the other House for
the purpose of elections; or, by mterpos-
ing their own candidates, as they have
constantly done in the State elections;
would prevent the election ofa single
Judge, sheriff, justice, or any other Off
GER; and by these means, put an end to
all government, rule and order in the
State; until, to ward off such catastro-
phe, one or the other, or both Of the two
parties who represent the great body of
the ireemcn Of the State, should uncon-
ditionally submit themselves, and surren-
der up the government to the entire con-
troll of this sect; whose political projects
and pretensions, the great bulk of the
frecmen and Of the people unequvocal-
ly disapprove Of and discountcnance.-
Let us pause-at least, let us pause, be-
fore we put our hands to such work as
this.
Voted and resolved unanimously, that
this meeting continue to cherish the same
strong, undated and increasing conf
dence in the integrity s. talents of Lem
tel II Arnold, and the gentlemen asso-
ciated with him in the National Republi-
can prox, that has always been enter
ained by us; and that we will therefore
use all fair and honorable means to Sc
cure their success at the coming elcc-

NTI-MAsoNRy AND SIR J. B. FRAN
'cIs.-We have been requested, by two
Of the more influential members Of the
anti-masonic party, to say, that Sir'John
Brown Francis has given them full evil
Gencc, that he is an anti-mason in the
fullest sense of the term. In reference
to this subject, the Hon. William Spraguc
is une1uivocal aud decided, as may be
fully understood from the fact, that he on
Friday last said, in the store of Asa
Pearce, that John Brown Francis was
an antimason, and in proof of it, cited the
circumstances, that in August last, when
MIR. Francis was candidate for the
Legislature, he called on minister of
the gospel in old Warwick, and solicited
his vote. The minister replied, that
being an antimason himself, he could not
vote for any one, who was not of the
same party. Mr.. Francis then avowed
himself an antimason, and said if he were
elected, he would do all in his power to
put down the masonic institution. We
make this statement, in compliance with
the wishes oftwo gentlemen, antimasons,
who are opposed to us, but whose wants
we cannot at all times refuse. The
names of the gentlemen are left with us.
and will be surrendered to any one, who
has right to demand them. Our friend.
the Hon. VIM. Spraguc, will undoubtcd-
ly thank us, for thus obliging him and
his friends Providence City Gazette.

GTWe give to-day full returns of the Senators and Representatives chosen at the late election. Both branches of the Legislature, it is claimed and conce ded, will be Jacksonian. In the upper house, all the Senators hut.three (Messrs. Williams, HawIey, and NichOIs) are claimed Jacksonian. But we appre- hend that neither of the members from this county will be found to act with the party all contested points, Last fall, both Mr. Sterling and Mr. Sanford were ar- dent in the support of the Clay electoral ticket; and they are not men so easily swayed by party feelings to come Eound suddenly in opposition their former opinions. Both we conceive Of sound minds and high and honorable principes-such men are not afraid 10 trust with the character of Litch6ed county. We fear, however, there are too many men in the Senate as well in the House of Representa- tives, who will be actuaeG by e, sordd, party feel ings, to the prejudice of the public good.
