MR.. CLAY AND Mr.. CALHOUN.


The following is related by the Washington
Correspondent of the u S. Gazette. If true,
which we have no reason TO doubt, it is GER
tainly honorable to these great men.
An interesting anecdote is told of the NEE
ting Of Mr.. Clay and Mr. Calhoun after the
former retired from the Senate, which shows
that political strife, thought it may for while
deaden the finer feelings of the heart, cannot
destroy them, especially in those hearts that
beat with generous and manly sensibilities.-
AS Mr.. Clay was passing towards the door to
leave the Senate Chamber. Mr.. Calhoun met
him-they had not spoken to each other for
five years; but they now simultaneously ex-
tended their hands, and rushed TO each others
arms; neither spoke, but both wept. AT length
Mr.. Clay said, on parting, "give my best re-
CARDS to Mrs. Calhoun How much more
noble was this reconciliation and parting, than
| if they had separted looking defiance at each
other. They had almost spent their lives to-
gether in Congress, and at various times stood
shoulder to shoulder, animated by patriotism
and emulous only of serving the country
Time had passed over both, and the young
had become old. One was about to retire
and both must ere long, "sleep the sleep thai
hath no waking" The retirement of the one
would leave the other with no companion OIL
rival of MS younger days, and it told him EN-
phatically that he too must soon follow
Thoughts like these soften the heart not Who'll
y induraied, and cause the fountain of gener
Gus feeling to gush forth-it came, and the
two distinguished rivals and antagonists unde
the influence of these sympathies, were drawn
together. Would that they had never beer
separated.

BULwER's NEW NovEL.-ln Zanonl, the
new romance from the author of Pelham. just
published by the Messrs. Harper, we have
what we have long wished and expected to
sea novel founded upon the most poetic of
all superstitious, the richest in material for the
writer of fiction. 1t was touched; but only
touched; by Scott, in his Anne of Geirstein
and in Kenilworth. The great master knew
its capabilities, but he seemed doubtful of his
own power to WELD and mould them with per-
feet skill; or perhaps he dlstrusted their recep-
ton at the hands of a prosaic and useful-knowl-
edge-imbued generation. We allude to the
lofty and solemn mysteries of the Rosicruci-
ans. 1t is from these, and the struggle be-
tween them and human passion in the breast
of an adopt, that Bulwer has wrought on,
this splendid story of Zanoni-the most inn
aginatve and poetical of his fictions.

der, is, as every one who reads that print
knows, very keen for a war between this
Government and Great Britain. The valor-
Gus outpourings of Claiborne, are thus noticed
in late number of the Louisville Journal:
"The man wishes TO be considered amazing
.ly bloody minded, where the character of the
nation is concerned; but it is well known that
he is the meekest and most pacific of all posi-
BILE mortals where his own personal honor is
involved. Several of the Wing editors in
Mississippi have attempted, by every conceiv-
able personal insult, to goad him into a fight,
but they might as we'll have wasted their in-
suits upon Quaker preacher.
A fellow who would not fight on account of
such indignities as have been repeatedly offer
ed to Claiborn by our friend Duffield, of the
Na'chez Courier, would not fight, even though
a gentlemen were 10 asSai his person, cut
off his ears, and put the trophies in his pocket.
The Journal is right. Ham Claiborne, be-
sides being convicted swinder, and abandon
ed liar, is a most unmitigated coward. He
has all the viIlainy of the thief, without par
ticle of the highwayman's courage. And yet
this man, whose whole life has been one con-
tinued scene of fraud, swindling, treachery,
and seduction is the chosen organ of the loco
foco party of Mississippi Vicksburg Wing.
A SPLENDID FoLLY.-When the will of Ste
phen Grard was published anil it was known
he had appropriated two millions of dollars
to the establishment of an Orphan College,
the public attention was much excited. Some
anticipated great results. Others thought it
great folly; and others, thought it again, there
was principle in that will which sooner or
later, would destroy all the good which the
right use of SO much capital might have pro.
duced. We read every line of the will with
care and attention. Our impression was, that
Mr.. Girard had made great mistake; that his
intentions would never be carried out, and
that if they were, no real blessing would ever
rest upon an Institution plainly raised upon
an anti-christian principle.
The result has come in good measure,
much sooner than might have been supposed
Mr.. Girard drew his description of the Col
lege, so that the building might have the ut
most plainness. Nobody could mistake his
meaning
What do the Trustees do! They set to WORK
to contrive how they can avoid the intention
of the WILL They commence building ar
, immense marble palace, with all the ornament
! and cost of gorgeous Eastern Architecture
5 They appoint gentleman President, ant
1 send him to Europe TO cultivate his IDEAS
: Ten gears have passed away, and the Girar'
s College is not finished, the Girarj Orphans ar
j not there; but the Girard Fund is rapidly dis
D appearing.
: Such will be found to be the history of mos
S persons who endeavor to execute their will
: after their death. He who wishes TO do gooc
q must do it in his life-time.--Cin. ChrOn.
