Of this strangest of all places, and Of
learning much at the same time Of the
true feelings and impulses which actu-
ate the savage heart.
The speeches made, pro-necessitate
libertatis, and CON-, will be given at
large in a few days and the manner
in which we released ourselves from
them, and carried our points on u
course to the stone quarry. In short,
we gained our point at last, Tor rather
assumed it, by going ahead, and defy
ing all their threats, and entreated
them TO put them into execution; and
after passing several other villages to
whom they had sem runners ahead of
us, we at length reached the place of
our destination in safety, which has
more than answered here, in interest
and picturesque beauty, oil Of our most
sanguine expectations, and richly re-
pays US for a toilsome and expensive
summer campaign.
At the date of this letter we are a.
bout to Withdraw ourselves from this
truly romantic and classic ground, and
wend our way back again, which will
be long and tedious, and perhaps SUBJ
ject us to further difficulties with the
wrongcd and outraged people Of whose
superstitions | have just been speaking.
The trophies that we could bring from
the inimitable workings of nature in
this %variegated stone were few and
beautiful beyond description; some of
which, if we are not robbed ofthem on
our way back, will compose an interes-
ting part of my cabinet-a splendid
necklace for my wife, and a snuff box
for my old friend DIR. Graham.

From the Baltimore Chronicle.

The following was among the toasts
drunk at a late Wing festival in Ken
lucky.
"HENRY CLAY.-To the impartial
historian of the present age we commit
his public fame, as a sacred charge
As our fellow-citizen, our old and faith
full public servant, our neighbor and
our friend, we grapple him to our souls
with hooks of STEEL"
In looking over the many journals
which it is our daily duty to examine,
we light upon nothing which affords us
greater pleasure than the warm, sin.
cere, and heartfelt tributes to the worth
and ability of HENRY CLAY, which we
meet in every quarter. We are sa-
tisfied that there is no public man in
the Union who has SO many ardent,
devoted friends. When Mr.. CLAY re-.
tires from public life, he will be regard.
cd as the most distinguished citizen OF
the Republic. The legislation and di.
plomacy of the country during the last
twenty years, pre- sent so many eviden-
ces of his industry and capacity-the
attention Of the public has been direct
ed to him with so much earnestness-
his influence upon public affairs has
been SO important, indeed so controlling,
that he must continue to be the object,
ever in retirement, of unmingled admi-
ration and respect. We rejoice to see
his friends and neighbors-those who
have never faltered in awarding their
confidence, and who have adhered 10
him, through all the vicissitudes of his
long and eventful public career, thus
voluntarily rendering to him the assu>
n OF their continued confidence and
af~fectionate friendship. Amidst the in>
sincere and heartless professions ofpo.
liticians, it is refreshing to find that a
life of greatness like that of Mr.. CLAY,
marked in all its periods, with magma.
nlmlty, generosity and true chlvalry,
has made its impression upon the un.
sophisticated yeomanry, by whom he is
surrounded. 1t will afford more than
an adequate conclusion for the oppro.
brlum to which he has been subjected,
and for all the political disappointment
he has suffered.

DIVISION OF HI DEPosITEs AMONG
THE STATEs.-The Secretary of the
Treasury has notified the Bank Of Vir-
ginia, that he shall draw on that Bank,
few days after the LIST Of January, in
favor of the Treasurer of Virginia, for
about $350,000, which will, Of course,
be previously deposited in the bank
This ratio will give to the State about
~ 100000 by the LIST o October next,
and mako the whole distributable sum
about or upwards Of SO millions, inclu-
ding Michigan.
Note BY the Globe.-On inquiry, we
learn, that a similar notice has been
sent to the Opposite Banks, in every
State IN the Union, giving to each
which will be called on next January,
seasonable notice of the probable a.
mount ii will then, and quarterly du.
ring 1887, be required to pay over
either to the State in which it is situa-
ted, or TO some other State near, where
a sufficient share Of the public money
Is not yet deposited.
Besides this, the extraordinary calls
on the Treasury to meet very large
appropriations atthe most distant points
whether in specie or otherwise, have
all been provided for seasonably, be-

we believe, a single exception.

RUMoRED ASSASSINATION OF LOUIS Phil.
LIPPE, KING OF THE French. The last st.
Louis Republican contains long article pur-
porting to be from the N. York Express, Civ
ing circumstantial account of the assassina-
ton Of Louis Philippe, on the 99th Of July
last, while celebrating the anniversary Of the
''three days. revolution. The news is said TO
have come by the packet ship Sully, bringing
Hayre dates to the Sd Of August.
The article consists chiefly in two or three
extracts from Paris papers, giving the particu-
lars Of the murder. From the fact that we
find no confirmation Of this news in anyof the
eastern papers, and from some internal eviden.
ces, we are induced to pronounce the whole
story sheer fabrication, paltry and contemp-
tible hoax. If this be 50, (and we have no
doubt of it) its author, if discovered, is az far
subject for the application Of Lynch law, as
any one who has ever come under our obser-
