vlr'uous than we supposed them to be. We have
very little respect for them. and cannot be made to
believe that our prejudices have no more solid
ground than what Mr.. Mackenzie has urged against
them.
Yet while this book proves lille or nothing
against the character of individuals. il does show
one thing and 1t is most important thing to those
who have no more interest IN public affairs than
TO be governed well. 1t is this-.,hat our great
men Gas the world goes) live, move and have their
being in partisan strife-that the head quarters nf
these men are where the greatest patronage of
Government eXis,s--that this patronage is the
stimulus for the eXaltaton of Instruments tn office
and that New York has controlled the affairs of
the republic To greater degree than is useful To
the common veal or the purity of the govern
ment.
All this evil results from the ahomnable sys-
tenn now In vogue of making office the reward Of
partisan service-0f turning honest, experienced
men out of place because they have Independence

evil and our political excitement will in measure

A NOBLE FELLOW.

About half past III o'clock yesterday. says the
N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, of Saturday, as
the Union ferry boat was crossing from New
York, well dressed, respectable woman, middle
aged, precipitated herself into the river. Forlu-
nately the steamer Jacob Bell was TOWING the
packet ship Switzerland, for London, to sea An
agent for Harnden's Express, Mr. Haysman.
happened to be on board the steamer, and saw
the woman: he raised an alarm, and Mr.. Pear
son, the first mate of the Switzerland, put rope
round his body and jumped to her rescue The
rope got loose, and the brave man, nothing daunt-
cd, placed its end in his teeth and swan on. He
seized the poor creature just as she was sinking
for the last time, and made for the Jacob Bell
where they were both rescued. 1t appears the
woman was deranged. She was subsequently,
put on board one of the ferry boats.

BARON STEUBEN AND BENJAMIN
FRANKLIN

The following notice, from an exchange paper,
of one of the most efficient friends America ever
had, is worth preserving. Talk of foreigners not
being permitted to equal liberty with ourselves in
this country? Who disciplined our army of the
Revolution Steuben. Who changed their awk-
ward system of tactics into perfect and mathe-
NAUTICAL science? Steuben. In fact, it has long
appeared 10 us that sufficient appreciation has not
been bestowed by the American people upon the
memory of this great and good patriot. History
has not dane him full Justice, while Lafayette
and other foreigners Of rank who fought in the
Revolution have received full share. One little
fact may be worth remembering, which we do
not recolect having seen in print We had il
from the mouth Of one of Steuben' students of
law. residing then and still in the city of New
York. 1t is this 1t was difficult to procure and
preserve our muskets, and especially to preserve
the bayonets, which the soldiers would frequent
y use for toastng and roasting irons, thereby de-
stroylDg their temper and utility Steuben, ~
order 10 remedy the evil, ordered that every BAY
onet in the army should be .Gged,' and fastened
on the musket by soldering. This conrivance
was at once carried into effect there was no
more roasting and toasting with bayonets at the
camp fires and the soldiers were always ready
for charge. Indeed, we do not exactly see wby
such should not be the case always in time Of
war. There are many swOrdmen who can wbip
movable bayonet from a gun in the twink
ling of an eye, and defy you to prevent il. But
TO our extract. The name Of this great General
was
Major General Frederick William Augustus
Baron do Steuben. He was German by birth, a
Knight OF the Order Of Fidelity, and aid de camp
to Frederick the Great, r Of Prussia.
He resigned his honors in his native land.
and strongly imbued with the love Of liberty, he
FASTENED to America. and offered his services to
aid the feeble colonies in heir glorious and event
fol struggle for independence.
The General was man Of strong feeling.
subject to sudden bursts Of passion but ever ready
to atone for an injury. At review he directed
an officer TO be arrested for fault which no
thought he had been guilty Of. On being inform.
ed of his innocence, he directed him to be brought
forward, and in the presence Of all his troops,
and with the rain pouring upon his uncovered
head, asked his forgiveness in The following
words Sir, the mistake which was made.

AND MISSISSIPPI TEI,E-

Henry O'Reily, Esq, writing from Harrisburg
TO friend in Albany, speaks in the most encour-
aging manner of the prospect of this great and
truly important undertaking. Speaking of the
arrangements for constructing the central line of
Telegraph for this great route. he says:
g 1t is truly gratifying to he able 10 slate, from
all | meet. whether State Officers, Canal Com
mlssioners. Railroad Companies and officers. or
citizens generally, have experienced nothing
but courtesy and facilities for expedting the
work. The work between Lancaster and Har
risburg will be completed in four or five weeks at
the farthest, and except to reach the Allegheny
Portage before Christmas--One hundred and fifty
miles beyond this; and, after visit to the friends
of the work in Western New York, in the next
week or ten days hope to be able to extend it to
Piitsburg early in January"
1t is expected that the line of Magnetic Tele-
graph between New York and Boston. via Hart
ford, will be in operation by the middle of No
vember. 1t is important that depot should he
established here, and as this depends upon the
amount of stock taken by our citizens, we hope
business men and others interested will subscribe
the necessary amount.
We understand that the citizens of SprnpfeId
New Haven, and Bridgeport have already secured
depots in their respective towns-Hartford Cou

THE BAPTISM.

For some weeks past as we have before men
toned, most singular and exciting revival has
been carried on in the churches of this city, prin-
cPally in the Methodist and Baptist, it having
commenced in the former. Yesterday was deli
cious day, and the whole town seemed to have
congregated at the waters edge 10 witness the
solemn and impressive ceremony of baptism by
immersion. The crowd had scarcely assembled.
at two o'clock, when the members of the Church.
headed by their Pastor, accompanied the new con
verts to the place of Baptism, singing one of the
beautiful sacred hymns, appropriate to the occa-
sion. Having arrived on the ground, the Throne
of Grace was addressed by the Rev. Mr. Hume,
which he followed with short exhortation.-
While the neophyes, twenty in number, were
forming and marching into the water another
hymn was sung by the congregation, when the
solemn ceremony of immersion was commenced
and concluded, the preacher remarking, ''this is
indeed going down into the water,'' referring to
the mode Of baptism, wherewth the Saviour of
mankind was baptised. Without intending TO
express an opinion on the "vexed question" as to
which is right in their mode, we must be allowed
to remark that the scene presented yesterday
was both solemn and highly interesting to the re-
Elective mind.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The New York Herald says Mr.. Kirkman,
with his stable consisting of Jenneteau, Liatunah,
and Warehouses, has arrived here and is now on
Long Island. Jenneteau will probably be select
cd to compete with Fashion for the four mile purse
over the Union Course. There is every prospect
of fine sport at the fall meeting, even though the

ground. The Jersey stables are stronger than
usual, and the different " cracks" we hear are
moving finely. Mr. Laird's string, with Fashion
at the head, will be very formidable.

she had on board, and no more, which was neces
