Fra.n the Natinnol Intellleencer.

The best rule for the Editor OF pubic
journal probably is, when he has nothing
10 say, 10 say nothing. We feel ourselves
just now very much in that Predicament.
We are waiting the action of Congress-
not knowing precisely what it wall be, but
hoping, and indeed trusting, that II will De
all that we suppose the public interest TO :
require. We are not as impatient at dee
lay, or as Indignant at protracted diseus-
sion, as some Of our coIemporaries appear
10 be. We are not Of opinion with others
that all deliberation is unnecessary, and all
debate d nuisance. We incline, on the con-
trary, to think that Congress is getting on
fast cough, aud will finish It's necessary
business and adjourn quite as early as We
have at any time supposed it would. The
Senate has disposed, for its part, OF one
great measure, the repeal of the Sub Irea-
sury, aud is on the eve Of dispcsing OF an
other, the Bank question. On its part, the
House Of Representatives has disposed of
much the most important question Of the
session, by passing the Land Bill, and has
determined to take the final question upon
another, (the Loan Bill in the beginning
Of next week. This is doing pretty we'll;
aud, If il does not satisfy public expecta-
ton, holds forth fair promise of doing il.
In regard to this matter, we commend
the following, which has just caught our
eye, as being imbued with philosophy
which perhaps some Of our political friends
might study to advantage:

A6arS al Washington trus, our readers
are not Of that grooming, grumbling, dsspairing
sort Of Wings who, Nhenever every thing does
not 90 just as they wish, give all up as lost, and
swear they never will vote again. For that class
Of patriots we can think Of no fitting argument
but cudgcl. They are the worst dead weight
that ever hung heavily upon the rear of any par
Is. When we are out Of power, they go about
croaking that it is of no use to try TO get i'll
that the ignorant, stupid, besotted People are beat
on goingto perdition, and they don't care how
soon. Well.in spite of their appalling groans
We fight the battle aud win the victory. Where
then do We find our cainp.following prophets OF
evil Foremost to dictate and arrange decree
ing that this shall and that shall not be done
that just such bank and such other measures
shall DO carried; if not, they viii quit the party,
and let it go to destruction
For own part we have lost all patience
with these everlasting cronkers. We would as
soon listen to the music of saw filing or crcak-
ing grindstoue as to their ncessaut predictions of
evil As firmly attached to the great measures
generally advocated by the Wing party as the best
Of them we yet do not believe that the country
viii be ruined or the Wing party annlhilated il
every thing does not go exactly to our liking. -
. = In short, if the Wing party
cannot govern the country usefully, we are rea-
dy to see il upset by its adversaries, but we do
trust it will not be croaked, groaned, and propbe-
sled down by its friends. The failure Of no one
measure can destroy it if its supporters have any
conference and force.
Capt. j. A. i. Bradford, of the Ordnance
Corps of the U, ). Army, who has for sew
eral years been charged with the Command
Of the Arsenal now in process Of erection
at this place, has been ordered 20 repair
forthwith to Florida, to engage in the ar
duous service low required in that region.
His place here is supplied, we understand,
by Lieut. Walbach, of the same corps.
Capt. Bradford has acquired the respect
and esteem Of this community, aud his ma.
ny friends part from him with deep regret. -
They are cheered, however, with the hope,
that after having gathered laurels in that
g land of flowers" he may be permitted to
return, and complete work with which he
is identified, and which does him SO much
credit.-Fdy. OBS.
The Concord, N. II. Statesman, in al.
nouncing the death of Miss Eunice Choat,
aged 40, states the follwing curious parti.
culars respecting her:
After she had grown to womanhood, she
lost the power of speech, and for about
ten year, she never uttered a single articu.
late sound, yet all this time, her senses
were perfect, and her physical faculties in
other respects unimpalred all her cores
pondence was carried on by writing. Her
speech went from her in SO remarkable
manner, that it has not been satisfactorily
accounted for as yet, and often both she
and her friends had supposed that she
would never again speak, but in an instant
her speech returned again and she spaic
as freely as ever, and it is equally as I'M
accountable how she recovered her speech.
Generosity.-The Lowell Courier says;
" Yesterday morning young man belong
ing to this city picked up near the Rail
Road Depot on Merrimack street, pocket
book which contained between 500 and
5000. Not long after, he found the owner
of the lost pocket book, stranger, and
returned it to him. The stranger del$ber.
dtely took from his pocket TEN CENT
PIECE and offered it to him for his homes
ty. The young man, however, declined
accepting it, telling the generous stranger
that he might need it at some future time.
We have laying on our table {says the
South Western Georgian, of the 9th inst.)
an open boil Of Cotton, of this years growth,
which is we'll matured. This boil was
handed us several days ago. The Cotton
crop through this section, Notwithstanding
the injury it received in the early part OF
the season, is, we believe, generally very
