al wish you had a society in Kentucky for
distributing tracts-short and pithy articles
addresses TO shareholders and non-slave-hold-
ers. could distribute thousand in this coun-
ty, and would agree to pick out from the Ex-
aminer, articles which would be read, and which
would awaken a new spirit in those who did
read them-can this not be done A"
Aye. But we must have means. If our an
ti-slsvery friends were Ieagued tOgether-if their
means were communicative would undertake
to circulate through this state-through East
Tennessee, West-Nort Carolina, and West
Virginia-these silent, but powerful messengers
of truth. Nor would il take large sum. But
we must wait, and labor on, until we can &c

This long matter is at an end And most
readers, will respond, heartily, glad of it :.
Col. Fremont's defence is caustic, and strong
II deals with Gen. Kearney's testimony with in
tense severity, and on the main point, mutiny,
attempts to show that the charge is improbable
on its face, and self-evidently unworthy of cred
it--discredited by Gen. KS. conduct-invalida-
ted by the cross-examination, and disproved by
facts and witnesses.
As to the charge that he had asked General
Kearney for the Governorship of California
Col F. pleads, the entire tenor Of his own life
and produces private letter of his, stating that
both Gen. X. and Commodore Stockton had Of
Jared him that office.
In conclusion, he AYERS that Brig. Gen. n, in
relation to the Governorship has borne false
witness--that he sndeavored to ssduce him
through this office failing to do so, he ha,
raised this false accusation against him, and

eomcdy-(very near being tragedy of three
errors first, in the faulty orders sent out from

of Gen. kearney thirdly, in the conduct of the
Government in sustaining these pretensions.
And the last of these errors consider the great

cutting the subordinate, but the principals not
by prosecuting him who prevented, but him who

In me TO accept the gsvernorshp from Commo-
dors Stockton, il was a crime In him TO have
bestowed it; and, crime or not. the Govern

me, and did not forbid il, has lost the right OF
prosecuting either Of us.
My acts in California were all with high mo-

Alfred Tennyson 10 out with new work
the Princess, a Medley. What we have read of
it is beautiful, fsrvid, true. But the critic asks,
"why should Mr.. Tsnnyson have thrown all
this into medley He had something serious
to say--why graft it on the buriesque' Some
modssty, there may be, but there is also some
sense Of weakness, and neither in Mr.. Tennyson
were called for" Here "are some special beau
ties culled from among the star-lke clusters,
that sparkle through" the Medley:
A rrRrEsr WOMAN.
"Not learned, save in gracious household ways,
Not perfect, nay, but full Of tender wants,
Ne Angel, buta dearsr being, all dipt
In Angel instincts, breathing Paradise,
Interpreter between the Gods and men,
Who look'd all native to her place, and yet
On tiptOe seem'd 10 touch upon a sphere
Too gross to tread, and all male minds perforce
Sway d to her from their orbits as they moved
And girdled her with music"
IDA CHANGED ny LOVE.
"From mine arms she rose,
Glowing all over noble shame; and all
Her falser self slipt from her like a robe,
And left her woman, lovelier in her mood
Than In her mould that other, when she came
From barren dsePs to conquer all with love,
And down the streaming crystal dropt, and she,
Far-Aee,ed by the purple island sides,
Naked, double light in air and wave,
For worship without end; nor end Of mine,
Statelisst, for thee1'
ArINE SMILE.
'Down thro ,her limbs dropping languor wept:
Her head a little bent; and on her mouth
A doubtful smiis dpst like eleuded MOON
In slid pafer."
