We understand there is sort of foundation for the
statement which is made in the Washington conespon-
dence of the N Y. Journal of Commerce of Wednesday,
and the Baltimore Clipper of this morning. that orders
have been sent to General Scott TO halt for the pres

to have taken place in the. cabinet the 18th, is
alleged in the Baltimore Clipper nor has any order
of this sort been issued since the It'll Instant as stated
in the New York Journal In fact no one doubts that
Gen Scott will push TO the capital, and that he will
take it. before any orders could have been sent to him
subsequent to the 18th instant We know that he has al
ready passed Jalapa and arrived al Peroe By this

The abolitonists maddened by fanaticism. What
can be more outrageous than the declarations OF the
members of the american dnti- Sarery Society,
which held its anniversary at the Tabernacle, in
the city OF New York, on Tuesday last The
New York Courier says, that "Mr, Wendell Phillips
spoke for time, denouncing the Evangelical
Alliance, assaing General Taylor and branding at
tachment to the Union absurd and wicked. W. l..
Garrison followed with similar TRADE, of which, much
their credit, the audience soon became tired, when he
succeeded by F. Douglas, the negro whose visit
England recently excited some comment He repudiated
the idea that he felt any attachment TO this country and
attempted TO vndcae himself for seeking aid England
break up the Union of tire American States He abused
nearly everybody, and, concluding his harangue, the
meeting adjourned"

The poor mus, no. be encouraged. No even spoken to, looked at, or smiled upon. if they have trials and misfortunes, they must bear them in silence, for even their tears are construed into cause to blame them by the unfeeling many who mistake wealth for worth. and foolish arrogance for manly dignity. All intercourse. except that of ser want and master, is rigidly prohibited: and each party kept as entirely distinct from each other ss though one was a God and the other beast.
 Oh, what deplorable state of thIngs!-- How can we possibly expect any reforma- lion or improvement in mind or morals co long as this worse than heathenish trait is so tenaciously persevered in
 No wonder that the genius and virtue of our country are languishing-no wonder that modesty and worth shrink away into the corner, while vicious monsters can hide themselves SO easily in silken folds!
 We must mingie in society. in order to give and receive instruction, to aid and com fort one another; should seek constantly to promote and advance all kinds of rational and social enioyments, instead of selishly hiding tour ligh. under bushel.n

 HORACE SMITH.

Hany of our readers will no doubt recognize ir the name that heads this article that of the gifted author of the celebrated "Reiected Addresses" | work which has passed through more than twenty. five editions. and which is scarcely less populaI now than 1t was when first presented to the public thirty years since. We know scarcely anything oi Mir. Smith, apart from his works, except that he was born in London about the year l73o. where his father was an eminent solicitor. "Reieeted Ad- dresses" written in conjunction with his brother, James Smith. was followed by "Horace in London" nFirst Impressions" 1.-The Runaway" "Treya. nion, or Matrimonial Erors," &e.: and in lst2. after the death of his brother he published his last work, "Adam Browne, the Merchant n We need scarcely remind our friends that Horace Smith was the author of the .Address to an Egyptian Mum- my" still so great fAvorte with the admirers of good poetry, and which commences with the fol- lowing startling and beautiful lines:
 And thou hast walk about--how strange story!
 h Thebe's streets, three thousand years ago. When the Memnonium was in all its glory,
 And time had not begun 10 overthrow
 Those temples. palaces, and piles stupendous, Of which the very ruins are tremendous!
 In the "Hymn ,o the Flowers" which we have selteied a. appropriate to the season. the judieious reader will readily perceive the truthaness of the remark make by an impartial critic, that Mir Smith is not only an amiabie versher, but possessor of the sense of beauty and a most poetical fancy.

 ''Can you seacn them pertdters, sir;''
 Mac extended his arm toward the Gish and satisfied himself that he could reach the per- iaters, and answered,
 ''Yes, sir.n
 "And will you stick my fork into ore of 'em:" asked the Rep.
 70, certainly" said Mac, as he took the fork, carefully stabbing it into the potaioe, where he left it.
 Al this the representative was somewhat vexed, and asked rather .arty--
 "Will you pass me my forks"
 "Ah!--your fork.-yes-o oh, yes sirr'- and taking Hold of the fork, he drew it from the po,atoe, and passed it back to the Rep, whose nerves seemed not little shocked.
