This eloquent pulpit orator, after having preach ed and lectuTed with unboun nded success at Little Rock, Arkansas, for nearly two months, suddenly appeared in the pulpit of the Rev. NIT. Clapp's Chutch in New Orleans last Sabbath. The Eveu- ing Mercury of Monday says:
 "Though notice oI the fact was not given public ly as soon as the doors of the church was opened stream of human forms flowed in, and in few mo- ments 1t was crowded in every part. Thousands hal 10 leave moi being able to obtain seats or even standing room, and il piiiful 10 witness the ab ortve efforts made by several far ladies 10 .'only obtain one glance at the eloquent preacher. The text was a sentence from the 72l psalm, ''The Lord Rcgneth," and never was there a more eloquent discourse delivered on Divine Providence before.-- Ii was impressive and eloquent throughout, was adorned by many beautiful figures. and heard with the most profound at'en,ion''
 Alter brief stay at New Orleans, il is the Rev. MT. Matitts attention 10 visit Nalchez on his return 10 Arkansas, where the cause ol religion under his eloquent teachings flourish like the roses oi that goody State. Mr. Maiftt is in his eleme nt in the Southwest His Natchez and Mississippi friends, ever true to his fame, will hail him back again with Joy. He is man of singular yet powerful genius The masses are ever for him, altt1agh the prelacy often fowns and would chill the ardcr of his living so by infusion of it's own frost into his burning lem, ,reraneot; but II is all in vain Even tn !, ex- communicating thunders of the Vatican would fall as harmless al bis feet as they did al LutheI's No one can seriously blame him that his peculiar char ac'eristcs ate such as to prevent hlm fron being useful as circuit preaG her. confined to d fixed ron. fine of labor. His circuit is the whole land. He goes where Providence itself opens the door, an it is in vain to oppose him. He cannot be crushed or he would have been long ago.

'IS COLONEL SEVIBR LElSDfDAfE FOR RE-
 sA A .RLECTfUMw


 Thh isA question which has frequently been propsendsd to uk by letter and otherwise, and we have invssisbly replied in manner Tor which we had authority, and which. In substance, we have before given. The following sxtrncis from letter 0 ns, upon this subject, from an influential and intelligent democrat of this State, we will reply to very cheereuiIy.
 ''ls Col Sevier candidate for re. election 10 the United States senasel have heard as mdch--It he has declared his intention to be candidate. why has It not been announced to the country! hope you will enlighten the public on this subject If there is to be another struggle for Senatorial seat, should like to see the issue at once. Let there be no more stolen marches upon public sentiment, such as you know were once made. 1.-the contest Is to be between Sevier and Borlsnd lei it be known publicly through the press that the people may be informed" ke.
 It isDOt mater of doubt with us that Col. Sevier will be candidate for reelection, and that he is now, if the expressed desire to be reelected can make him SO. And we state this upon the suthori- ty ofa let,er from Col Sevie to ours lf from which we take the portion leading us to this concluSion aI,,ough n was not intended or sent to us for pub lcation.
 WAsHlSGToN. March 18th, IS48. Dear RcrdoH-- Before this reaches you, shall probably be in Vera Cruz, on my way to the Head Quarters of the army, as Envoy, &c. &c. l send you Circular 10 my constituents, which wish published in tho Banner, . s'' l expect to get home before the Is oyer and at all events before the meeting of the legislature. want re- election to the Senate and shall rely upon my friends throughout tile Stale 10 act for me. = have accepted the appointment win great and sim cere reluctance succeed shall gain reputation if fail shall lose, for too much IS expected from me. Your friend,
 A. II. SEVER. This we presume settles the question as 10 Col Sevier's position. We feel justified in making this known. not onlyon account of many inquiIies made in relation to it, but because have been circu lated that his used in connection with the cominse lection only to advance the aspirations of others,
 We feel confident that Col & regards his proud station in the Senate representing the people of Ar kansas. as more eminent distinction than any which the Pr: sident could bestow upon him. He has frequently 90 expressed himself and hence the reluctance with which he resigned it.

Germanie ReuOlutioa.-we doubt whether this is

Germlnie ReUoiutioa.-We doubt whether this is not oi more importance even than the revolution in France. The States of Germany, with Austria. Prussia and the Italian prncipaliiies closely connected together number an immense popula- lion, and are only to us second in importance to France and Engiand, because our communication Is more direct with the latter. A foreign print dated in March, says:
 "The remainder of this month is pregnant with events of momentous importance to all Germany. On the 20th the Congress of her Sovereign Powers will be held al Dresden. They will there determine how Germany shall best prepare herself against att tack from without. They wilt also decide upon measures of constitutional re form they willing to grant, and upon what wider base they will found the Germanic Confederation. On the 30th the Heidelberg delegates meet at Frankfort, where they will be joined by many other Liberal deputies. The decision of the Congress will then be known and will be compared with the plan of constitution prepared by the Heidelberg committee, which is now nearly ready"
