A SMALL MsTAKE.-Mr. Badger, the late Secre-
tary of the Navy, in dinner speech at Raleigh says
he yielded to the voice of Gen. Harrison and became
a member of his Cabinet" This is error, but a
very natural perhaps. II not Mr.. Badger that
yielded" it was Gen. Harrison. He gave way to
the opportunities of the North Carolina delegation in
Congress, headed by Mr.. Stanly, relative Of Mr..
Badger, backed up by the influence of Mr.. Dawson,
of Georgia, and some other gentlemen fom the South
Gen. Harrison knew nothing of Mr.. Badger, either
personally or by reputation and had no intention Of

We find the following facts relative to the success.

per -
Il appears from curious article in the last Quarter
Of these realms have been worn at present by the
Hereditary Prince Of Modena--and that falling that
Prince and his immediate branch, the right would
have passed next to Louis Philippe King of the
French. The same article shows that surprising the
descendants Of the Eecress Of Hanover to be eItin-
tingushed-who, however, as tho reviewer says, are
fare innumerobifes-and the other descendants of
Charles l. and James l. to remain excluded by reason
Of their Romansm--the heirshp general oftle houses
Of Plantagenet and Tudor would vest in the Duke of
Buckingham and Chandosj and that ofths house of
Stuart in the Duke Of Hamilton; the former being
descended from the second daughter Of King Henry

families is extinct

MR.. STEVENSON.

We find, in late number Of the Richmond
Wing, an extract from the Washington cores
pendent of the U. s. Gazette, in which it is as
serted, that Mr.. Stevenson, since his return to
this country, has expressed the opinion that war
between England and the United States was
highly probable. Some additional importance
is given to the statement Of this Washington
letter writer, from the fact that he informs us he
obtained his information, when "passing through
the State Deparlment"-thus leaving it to be
inferred that he had derived it from at least a
semi-official source. This allegation, ifnot con-
tradcted, might be attended with bad conse-
quences. We have good reason to believe that
no such opinion has been expressed by Mr.. Ste
venson--on the contrary, it is understood, that
he has represented the British Government and
people as disposed for peace with our country,
and that there was nothing in the present rela-
tons of the two countries, which might not be
adjusted by negotiation.
The Wing makes the extract the text of an
abusive paragraph against MI. Stevenson
With this we have nothing to do. We have
not seen Mr.. Stevenson, and are personally TIM
acquainted with him-but we hope, in its efforts
to effect temporary and party end, in connex-
ion with the election Of Chief Magistrate of
Virginia, it will not give currency TO rumors,
which have the effect Of seriously impairing the
good understanding between two great nations

lively nothing The fact that the fgate Raritan has
been under shed ia unfinished condition at the
Philadelphia Navy Yard for the last twenty-five
years, speaks uumpet-tongued as to the apathy and
indifference of our Government. During this period
too our relations with Great Britain have been of the
most critical character while it is almost certain that
the conviction of Mcleod would have almost plunged
the two counties into conflict. ~.
Sil with all these facts iterated and reiterated thro
the public journals-the late administrations turned
deaf ear to all such Subjects have their or
gans cry "down with the Bank"-"huzza for the gold

glory and homer of the country, were best promoted

carry out this mighty expectation our rulers must not
sit down quietly and devote themselves to the mean
and dirty business of politics. Those who control
the sestinos Of mighty people and republic vast as
this should look beyond present points and purposes
and strengthen the foundations Of our National exist

AURORA BOREALIS.

A mo., splendid exhibition of this wonderful phe-
nomenon occurred last evening from the hour OF TO
IL In briance and extent II far exceeded anything
of The kind since the winter OF 1856. Our streets
were as light when the moon Is al her full and the
shadows of the buildings were very Iercepiibe, but
owing 10 the great extent of the Aurora, were not
an distinctly marked From Capitol Hill the sight
was magnificent; the whole heavens were in glow.
In the north, and extending from west to east, was
fixed and immOvahle arch OF milky white light en-
circng what seemed TO be nucleus dark and opaque
through which not single star showed its glimme--
ing ray.
From this crclet, and shooting up to the zenith,
were innumerable SPIRES chasing each other rap
idly from horizon TO horizon, and blazing up in one
giant pyramid and again parting in every fantastic
form, foated away. Al times large columns olsen
gagged themselves from the general mass and foated
upward alone, hung suspended midway above the ho-
rzon, blazing cressels in the dome OF heaven, gh,
the myrtle spirits of the great unknown. Sometimes
large feecy waves hight followed each other in rapid
and almost binding succession, ill verging middle
heaven, they trembed for an instant and melted away
Crimson needles shot upward and tall spires moved
gaily from horizon TO horizon. Soon pyramid o
light blazed affair." rose maescaly TO the zenith, and
quiyered into thousand pointed flames.
The city, with its roofs and domes below US, was
tinged with the glory, and as an occasional cloud
oated across the of light its silver edges contrast
ed beautifully with tho glow Of its centre. The river
glisened like mirror and myriads Of shadows glanc-
cd across it's quiet BOSOM rejecting the gambos VI the
@rlal jewellers above.
What art can rival such gorgeous display and
what mind can solve its mystery3 What magic
vest around the North! Here points the magnetic
needle and there for centuries have glowed these mys-
tic fires! Does the Spirit of Storms hold there,
amongst "tumbling mountains of ice his frozen
court, and Is he marsha!ling his icy legions
it the gala revel Of the Frost King does the Winter
Monarch rejoice 10 his halls of snow2 5.

As it 10 now admitted on all hands that the Anti
Bond party have carried the election in Mississippi by
majority Of 1000 or 5000 il is necessary to under
stand how far they propose 10 20 in the matter of re-
pudiatng the State bonds.
II is not true, We believe, that thoy design 10 repu-
date any bonds except 900 issued in favor OF
the Union Bank of Mississippi, which they alege 10
have been illegally, and even raIduIeny disposed Of
The whole bonded debt Of the State, including the
above Us 100000 is only about ST. 100000. It would
have been much greater but for the energetic course
of Governor M'Nutt The Legislature had author
lied the issue of Sl5 100000 in favor Of the above
mentioned Bank The first SIS, 600 900 were issued,
and sold to Nicholas Biddle and are guaranteed TO
the European holders by the United States Bank. The
second SIS 100000 were also executed and deliver
ed to the Union Bank, but their sale was prevent
ed by a Proclamation Of the Governor The
remaining SIS 500 900 the Governor refused to execute,
until further action the part of the Legislature,
which action never took place. Thus, of the 3d.
ono authorized by the act Of the Legislature 10 be
issued in favor OF the Union Bank, only $5,OOO,OOO
outstanding; and it is this SIS 100000 which the
Anti Bond party propose to repudiae. The $4,000,
OOO issued few years before favor Of the Planters
Bank they acknowledge To be binding and intend to
pay AT least such Is our information and belief,
These Two sums constitute the whole bonded debt OF
Mississippi, or nearly all So that even including the
repuda'ed bonds, Mississippi not so deeply in debt
as has been gorerally supposed The SIS 600, 600 in
dispute were issued in June 1888, and disposed Of to
Mr.. Biddle in August of the same year. Not long
after hey lodged in Europe collateral for loans
made to the U. s Bank
We now pass TO the grounds upon which the Anti
Bondites rely to sustain the position they had taken.
These grounds we cannot better state than by quot
ing from the letter Of Governor M'Nutt to Messrs.
Hope Co., Bankers, of Amsterdam, in reply to n
communication from the latter, calling his attention to
the fact that the interest the bonds had not been
paid The bonds themselves not payable till 1850
and 1853.
