DURATION OF THE WORLD.

Chronologists have not agreed upon the dura-
ton of the world. All the ancient authors and
fathers of the church of the first ages have calcu-
lated about $500 years from Adam up to the birth
of Christ. Eusebious, Bishop of Cesarea in Pa
lestine, who lived under the empire Of Constan-
tine, abridged that calculation. Modern authors,
for the most part, make the time 1000 years. The
learned have also differed in their ideas of the end
of the world. The Rabins and the first Chris
tians who commented on the Apocalypse have
made it the subject Of many idle conjectures.
Since the death of Jesus Christ, the end of the
world has been necessarily announced ST..
Cyprian, who lived in the Sd century, speaks, in
his exhortation to the martyrs, thus: ''The dan
gerous time Of antichrist approaches, when we
shall behold the end of the world" This error,
so common among the first Christians was
dissipated by the Millenians, who believe that
Christ is to, come and reign over the saints for
1000 years. a.r
The ancient philosophers have disputed upon
the end of the world.-They believe that when
the earth and the stars have finished their course
the world will be ended, and the heavenly bodies
return to their points in the heavens where God
created them.
Plutarch states the opinion of some who be-
eve that the great revolutions will be accomplish
ed in 7777 lunar years. Some give 0977 years !;
Heraclitus $4,000 years; Plutarch and Dion
l9,8O4 years. Astronomers who measure the
duration of the world by the revolution of the
armament, give 10000 years. With Ticho Brahe
10000 years.

From the Brooklyn Citizen.
THE MONTGOMERY GUARDS.

Our readers will recollect, that some months
since, the privates of six companies of Boston
Militia, while on duty, abandoned their officers
and the parade ground, in consequence of the ap-
proach of an Irish company, called the Montgona-
cry Guards. This unmilitary conduct was the
cause OF much excitement at the time, and great
pains were taken not only to obtain in Boston
and elsewhere general expression of condemna-
ton OF the act, but to enlist the feelings of the
community against the offenders But when all
the facts of the case came to be known, it was the
prevailing opinion, we believe, that these troops
were more ''sinned against than snnng;' and
that though their insubordnation could not be
justified upon strict military rules, there were ex-
tenuating circumstances accompanying it. We
suppose it will be conceded that, as no person,
who is not citizen of the United States can be
compelled TO bear arms, so none but citizen has
a right to bear them. Our militia are denomi-
mated citizea-soders, which of course excludes
the idea of alien-soldiers. Now, this company
nf montgomery Guards had in its ranks, at the
period above referred to, EIGHTEEN ALIENS
eighteen men who had no right to be there
eighteen subjects of a European King. The read
er can imagine what must have been the feelings
Of the ciizen-soldiers on the occasion. As cifi-
gems, they felt that their rights and privileges
"SiC il'duCu-ds oOeueC1o, lltl tiiCy WClC uCIl-
|ded, dishonored, insulted. Upon the impulse of
the moment they committed an act of insubordi-
nation. This we do not justify; it was disorder
ly; it was wrong. The proyocation was great
the temptation strong; but sense Of their duty,
both as citizens and soldiers, should have been
greater and stronger. The penalty for the Of
fence by the laws of Massachusetts, as quoted by
the Boston American, is fine ''of not less than
five, nor more than twenty dollars;'' and, if we
do not mistake, the penalty was incurred to the
full. But it seems that an Irish-and conse-
quentlv a foreign-and Catholic interest, inau-
ence and power have been at work to punish, yet
further, the 'sinsubordnates;'' and Irish revenge
backed by the promise to bestow, or the threat to
withhold, Irish votes-has at length succeeded;
Governor Everett has been prevailed upon to
disbaad the six offending Native American COM
panies, comprising about nine hundred men, to
appease the vindictive feelings Of eighteen alien,
and something more than an equal number of
Irishmen!
We are really astonished at this high handed
measure. We are especially astonished, that
Governor Everett should have been the instru-
ment of such an outrage upon American feeling,
and, as it appears to us, such usurpation Of al-
thority. This act seems to us entirely inconss-
tent with that gentleman's whole public career
hitherto, and it grieves as well as surprises u.s.
We trust, however, the People will administer a
rebuke that shall be felt and remembered.

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.

1t is said that a vacancy in one of the subordi-
nate stations connected with the Treasury has
lately been filed by the appointment Of NatiUe.
Tins is SO unusual that public attention through
out the whole Union should be called to it.
The individual favored is very respectable
and honest mechanic, who has been trying to
make living in the way of his trade for some
time in the city, and is now called off under new
auspices, to sink the future independence that
awaited his industry in the present emoluments OF
a transitory office.
We hope he may not find himself deluded by
the gold Of the gingerbread, and while he grasps
at the gliding, eventually lose his Cake.

ALIEN FUGITIvEs FROM JUSTICE.

''It is the law and usage of nations, resting on
the planest principles justice and public utility,
to deliver up offenders charged with felony and
other high crimes, and fleeing from the country
in which the crime was committed into foreign
and friendly jurisdiction. Where a case of that
kind occurs, it is the duty of the civil magistrate,
on due proof of the fact, to commit the fugitive,
to the end that reasonable time may be afforded
for the Government here to deliver him up, OF
for the foreign Government to make the necessary
application to the proper authority here, for his
surrender. Who are the proper authority in this
case! Whether it be the Executive of the State,
or as the rule is international, the Executive au-
thorty of the United States, the only regular or
gan of communication with foreign powers, it is
not now the occasion to discuss: it is sufficient to
observe, that if no application be made, and duly
within reasonable time, the prisoner
will then be entitled to his discharge upon habeas
corpus; whether such offender be the subject of
the foreign government, or citizen of this coun-
try, would make no difference in the application
Of the principle.
The 9Th article Of the treaty of 1895, with
Great Britain, which provided for the delivery of
charged with murder or forgery, was
only declaratory of the law of nations, and is
equally obligatory upon the two nations, under
sanction Of public law, since the expiration of
that treaty, they were before.--John's c. K.

For The Natips .Americon

Mr.. EDITOR: Walking along the Canal, not
long ago, justafter slight snow, saw number
OF boys skating OH place they had prepared.
There seemed to be two parties. One party ap-
peared aggrieved, and were complaining loudly OF
the other. | asked one little fellow, that was
crying, the of their troublel "We Avenue
boys" said he, shave worked all this morning.
sweeping the snow, and making this skating
place; and some of the Capitol Hill boys asked us
to let them play on it, with we told them, yes,
and any other boys, too, if they'd behave well;-
so they came on, great number; and presently
they said they did not like base, that we play
ed, and would play their o,on play-fox.' We
Avenues don't like fox, and we refused; scuflie
came on, and they were too many for u.s." By
this time big, rough fellow, skated along, and
swapping his fingers at my little friend, said, ''Aye
my lark, It's no use crying now: you might had
your own play, if you had not inUifed the schole

George Washington! ssHis name aione'-

''strikes epery title dead" And, in truth, there

the Philanthropist; and which, through all ages
and in all climes, will ever rally to the cause OF
spirits of the time Linked, as it is, with thou
