The Hon. Nathan Sargent, the emlnently res
pectable Washington correspondent of the Uni
ted States Gazette, writes as follows in his last
letter to that-place;
"a prominent democrat replied to me to-
day, in reply to the remark that they had laid
the Presidents two paintings out cold, that
they were not colder than he had made their
harbor bill last session. This shows how much
the veto of that bill incensed those who had be-
fore been his friends Other acts of his have
also increased thrt feeling of bitterness they
now entertain towards him; one is the selec-
tlon of all the officers of the army from the
south and west. If the bill now before the
House, authorizing the raising item additional
regiments by enlistment for five years, or du-
ring the war, shall become law, as Ipresume
it will. twill be upon condition that the officers
be elected and commissioned as the officers of
the volunteer regiments now are. In other
words, the patronage will be taken out of the
hands of the President altogether. The party
will not trust him. "Why" said a Loco, to me
Today, @Mr. Polk has not as many fr ends as
John TYLER had, who had no party anywhcre;"
and il is even so. Those who were once his

WAR INoIDBNrs.-1h Themes for Roetry--As the
steamboat New England was leaving the wharf
at Pittsbuig last weeS, with volunteers, a dog
belonging to a private in the Du Quesne
Grays, attempted to follow his master, but
was thrown overheard by the officers. The
faithful animal swan round the boat, crying
most piteously. The crowd on shore shout
ed to the captain to take it on board, and the
soldier declared he would desert if he did not.
The animal was drawn up, aud bounded with
Joy to his master-a loud huzza rose from the
shore. As another boat was leaving with
volunteers fine looking soldier shouted from
the deck, ''good-bye, Mary!" A sweet voice
in reply was heard responding from the crowd
''good-bye, William!" and William disappeared
among his fellow soldiers.

MAJOR DowNINGs VIEWS ON FIGHTlNG.-Here
is what the celebrated Major Jack Downing
said several years ago on the subject of fighting.
True as preaching, is'nt;t:
''In the matter of fighting there is one thing
always keep my eyes on, and l found Gen.
Jackson Of the same way of thinking and that
is, to depend less on folks who say they are
ready to shed the last drop of their blood, than
on folks who are ready to shed the first drop.
Give man eight dollars to make speeches in
Congress with the right of free postage and you
hear enough Of ''last drops matters; when it
comes to camp duty, then the 'irst drop" folks
have to stand the rack at eight dollars
month"

Mr.. Dawson, Of Georgia. subsequently lost the
election as Governor of that State because he
voted in the House mi favor of the duty. Now
the same Mr. Walker whines in plteous terms
to Congress, begging and entreating them to
pass this cry duty, which on former occasion
he could scarcely find terms sufficiently oppro-
brious to denounce and stigmatze.
But, say the present supporters OF the mea-
sure, the country is now at war, and requires
this additional amount. Why then was it not
incorporated into the tariff of 1882 The coun-
try was at war when that bill was passed, but
the administration could only obtain the pas
sage of it by keeping out Tea and Coffee, with
tacit, or actual promise, they should not be
taxed. But, say another portion OF the advo-
Gates, that tariff does not yield fficiently, or
SO we'll as we anticipated. A nd whose fault
is that? You had tariff which did yield, and
which had placed a surplus Of 100000 OF
dollars in the treasury; and being at war, why
was such tariff adopted, which you must
have known would not yield either enough tor
your actual expenses, OF. enough to create con-
fidence, so asto enable you to borrow for any
deficiency? 49,
= But how is il now said that the tariff will
not yield sufficiently, when within "one little
month";" Mr.. Walker, in his annual report,
has assured Congress that the tariff will yield
6 to $8,000,000 more than he anticipated at the
time it was passed.! If then, with this antici-
pated additional receipt, he says he will be un-
able to carry on the financial business of the
country. without duty on tea and coffee,
what will be his situation If the tariff only
equals his original estimate! 1t 4 rathsr an
awkward question to answer, and particularly

In turning over the pages, says the Baltimore
Patriot, Of the North British Review, for No.
vember last, we find very abe and Interests
| ing article upon the history Of Italy. The wri-
ter refers much Of the degradation which that
country suffers to it's state Of subsection to the
Austrian power. He says: Il VA.
"We have before US work, printed in 1894,
at Milan, directed to be used for instruction
and reading in the second class Of elementary
schools, by order Of the Austrian Government.
We shall give some specimens Of the instruc-
ton which it has impaired, and Of the notions
taughtto those who learn to read in the gov-
eminent schools Of Austria, presenting that no
such books were furnished in the schools ex-
listing long before the Austrian government
took themEunderits parental tutelaga"
The writer then makes an extract with q
view to show the instruction whichis inculcat-
ed upon the fidelity Of the people to their Sove'
reign, and also Of the temporal and spiritual
punishment which will be visited upon all who
are negectful or unobservant Of that fidelity.
He then concludes by saying, ssthere are few
other passages respecting war that are worth
quoting':
"Question. - What must subjects abstain
from besides treason?l
Answer.--They must abstain from talking
unreasonably of the eyentsof the war. a
Q.--And why SO?
A.-Because as they are not aware Of the
real circumstances such events, they easily
can deceive the populace with their discourse.
Q.--What must citizens and country people
do not to be suspecteds
A.-They must keep quietly at home--mind
their own business-work and pray.
Q.--Ho~ must subjects behave when the
enemy causes them losses? s.e
A.--They must bear losses with patience.
and put their trust in God and their Sovereign"
We give this extract, which we make lite
rally, without any comment, not doubling that
every intelligent reader will discover, in the
course Of his Excellency, President Polk, an
exact parallel to that which the Austrian gov
eminent employs to school those who are in
subsection to it in lts doctrine Of passise obedi-
ence. 1850 ~

Mr.. Attorney General Clifford is a busy man
at all events. A short time since,when the Cab
met was in session, the President received Off
cial information of the advent into this wicked
world of ours, ola new member of one Of the
Royal Families of Europe. A document had
been drawn up in the customary form for the
President to sign, congratulating the Sove-
reign interested upon the happy event While
other members Of the Cabinet and the President
were laughing and joking about the affair, Mr..
Clifford was obs erved to be walking up and
down the room in perturbed mood, with his
hands thrust deep into his breeches pockets.
At length he stalked boldly up to the President
and said, "Mr. Polk, it may be courtesy and
custom to do this thing; but were President
pll be I'D if l would sign that docu-
ment" After this the new Attorn ey General
of the United States seemed, as is reported, to

Duty ON Tea and Coffee.

| The House Of Representatives, without watt
ing for any action on the subject by the Commit.
tee Of Ways and Means, hasgiven Mr. Walker
slick back, - and BY vote Of i15 10 48 declar-
ed it inexpedient to levy any duty on Tea and
Coffee.
The Correspondent Of the Baltimore Post
sa,s:a H
"No song, no SUPPER" is an old saying, Mr..
Secretary Walker, on and in the behalf of Mr..
President Polk, says to Congress, ''Do tax on
tea and coffee, no loan, and no loan, no carrying
on the war" The House Of Representatives
replied yesterday. and said with great empha-
sis, | Is to 48, "no tax on tea and coffee, come
what may"
This is pretty state Of things. Mr.. Polk,
and the leaders of his party, have KEEP up the
cry SO long before the people that the wings a.
lone were the advocates of the abominable
measure Of taxing tea and coffee. that they
have made the people actually believeit would
be an abominable actto levy duty upon those
great and universally used necessaries of life.
Not only have they done this, but such has been
the vehemence of their manner in denouncing
the Wings for taxing tea and coffee, that they
dare not, now that the measure is found to be
expedient, if not absolutely necessary by Mr..
Polk himself, as the only means of carrying on
the Government,v vote in favor the measure in
question! Even Mr.. Polk dare not openly rec
ommemd to Congress that tea and Coffee must
be taxed but is obliged to skulk behind Mr..
Secretary Walker, and get him to make the
recommendation.
This, the Secretary has done, and informed
Congress that unless the tax is put on, no loan
for carrying on the war can be negotiated! And
Congress- replies "very well, we will not tax tea
and coff, O."
