WAsHINGTOM-.The venerable name af WASH ISGTQN which sbould never be uttered save with hushed voice, and uncovered head and feeling of deep reverence, is daily dragged before the world as standard by which to glorlly to measrreI for who could bear that test 1.-the pretentloDs of other men. Bolivar was d second Washington, un- til he became unfortunate, anl then he was a al tor; Santl Anna was Washington, when he over turned the government of Bustamente and until he was captued at San Jacino; and iii our own country, there is scarcely state or even militia regiment, that has not produced its Washing ton or at all events, its mighty men of valor, upon whom that glorious name has been bestowed as the need ofpraise for some very common place achieve ment. It is time that u s sacregous folly were done away.

letter written by gentleman in Ports
mouth to his friend in this place, dated
"PoRrsMourH, Sept. 2lst, 1886.
ssIt is my painful duty to relate one
of the most shocking accidents-occur-

ever witnessed. Notice was received
yesterday of prospect of visit from

a respectable young man formerly of
Lancaster; and a boy, named Jonston.

*Doubtful.

TExAs.-There has been debate in
the English House of Commons upon
the subject of Texas. The jealousy of
the English seemed to be excited lest
Texas on becoming independentshould
attach itselfto the Union, by which the
conquest of all Mexico will ultimately
follow, to the injury of the English ma
ton They also seem to anticipate the
introduction of slavery as necessary
result of the independence of Texas.
The Minister, in reply to question
put to him, said that the United States
had yet maintained strict Neutrality,
and he had confidence that our govern
ment would continue to do So; and
that the present position Of affairs is
such as not to justify the interference
of the English government. The de-
bate was very interesting.
The WAY TO STOP pApER.-Thera
is right way, and a wrong way, to
order newspaper stopped. Many
people do not seem to understand II.
They will write to the printer, here,
sir, have ordered you to stop my pa
per three or four times, and yet it con-
tinues to come. Why don't you stop
it?' The answer, nine cases in ten
would be, because sir you have not
settled your account Go to the prin-
ter's Office, pay all you owe, and order
it stopped, and then if it continues to
come, the printer is to blame. Turn
Edstor and iHaIesman.-M. B.
Lamar, the present Secretary Of State
Of Texas, whose able letter we publish
ed on yesterday, was formerly the edi-
tor of one of the most respectable
Journals. He is man of high talent
md devoted to the cause Of liberty
The chair editorial is the best place in
he world to educate the heart in ha-
red to despotism-there is an exu]ta-
ion IN the fact of a man being able to
DC pour forth day after day, his indepen-
lent sentiments; to speak his mind to
thousands without fear-to be the or

In series of letters from Havana,
with the signature of NJ. c., we find
the following sketch of the presentgo-
vern ent of that place Nat. Int.
"1he Government IN Havana.--It
could hardly be conceived in the Uni
ted States that city of &c, 900 souls,
including garrison Of 10000 men,
shonid have been for whole years tremr
bling under the poinard Of the assassin.
A Spanish government, too, is very
different thing from an American one.
General Tacon governs to some pury
pose! He is a despot, paeha, sa-
trap, but withal an enlightened des-
pot, just, vigilant, and firm magistrate
He commands the army, superintends
the finances, and renders iHstice.-He
looks after the safety of the State, and
the cleanness of the streets. He is the
arbiter of the fortune, and even of the
lie, OF the citizens, while he does not
dlsdaln to attend to their domestic con-
Germs, and occasionally to adjust their
family differences. He wants nothing
but the place of high priest to fill all
the offices in church and state. He APP
pears in public in a generals dress,
surrounded by his aids, and escorted
by troop Of cavalry. He is the Al
ter Ego of royalty, and, as such, is fur
nlshed with sll the appliances Of arbi-
trary power.''
RANDOLPH, eccentric and passionate
abroad, was uniformly kind and gene
rous at home. His slaves loved him
with the strongest affection. The re-
turn of 'Massa Randolph, from con-
gress, was greeted with the strongest
demonstrations ofjoy. A slave trader
once called on Randolph, and not ma
king known his purpose, he was invi-
ted to dine with him. At dinner the
trader glanced around upon the SER
wants in attendance, inquired the price,
Of Randolph, informing him 1.-THE same
time, that he was engaged in the slave
trade. It happened that the slave in
question was one Of Randolph's favo-
rite servants. The enraged Virginian
sprung from his table, and shook his
skeleton finger furiously at the "souI
driven, '-s'Leaye my house, sir! leave
instantly, sir! Am / to be insulted at
ny own tablet" The wretched slave
raider saw that he had no time to lose.
he fled from the house and mounted
us horse. Randolph called hastily for
ane Of his own horses, and seizing bis
pistols, set off in full chase after him.
The dearler in human flesh looked
Jack, and saw the skeleton figure Of
aoanake. like death on the pale horse
lose behind him. "Of of my grounds,
'ou rascal!'' screamed Randolph in
rs shrillest tones, dwelling his pistol

FUNERAL OF COL. BURR.

&
Ga Friday morning last, the body of
the late Col. Aaron Burr was put on
board steamboat at Staten Island, and
conveyed with number of his rela-
tives and friends from New York to
Amboy. Here it, with the followers,
was received by the railroad cars, and
taken to Heightstown, nine miles from
Princeton. A hearse and carriages ha-
wing been previously prepared, the re-
mains, with the friends of the depart
led. proceeded Immediately to Prince
ton College, where the body was de-
posted until the hour Of interment
should arrive-half past three o'clock.
At the appointed hour, the profess
ors, collegians, and citizens having as
scmbled, the ceremony commenced
}by prayer addressed to the Throne Of
Grace. It was succeeded by most e.
Iloquent, appropriate and judicious SER
fmon, delivered by the President Of the
college; after which the procession was
formed on the College Green, and pro-
ceeded to the buryipg ground under
an escort of the military, accompanied
by martial music. He was inferred
with the honors Of war. The firing O.
yer the grave was performed by we'll
disciplined infantry corps, designated
as the Mercer Guards. The professors
and students of the College, and some
of the clergy and citizens, united with
the relatives and friends Of the deceas-
ed in the procession.
He was buried in the college bury
ing place, near the tombs of his ances-
tors, in his native state, under the SUI
perintendence of the fathers of that seat
OF learning, where the budding of his
mighty mind first displayed itself
where it was matured and cultivated,
ard where the foundation was laid for
those intellectual endowments, which
he afterwards exhibited ON the great
theatre of life. He has shed halo of
literary glory around Nassau Hail.
Through long pilgrimage he loved
her as the disciplinarian Of his youth
ful mind. He vauntcd that he was one
of her earliest and most attached sons.
lie joyed in her success, and sorrowed
In her misfortunes. In this-her last
act of respect for his memory-she has
repaid those kind feelings in which he
INDUCED during long life; and heart
less must be the friend of the deceased
who remembers not with gratitude this
testimonial ofregard for the giant mind
Of him who must fill large space in
The history of his country. Peace to
ais ashes.
