ceedingly heighten their responsibilities.

AHOW YOur PRINCIPLES.

Every manly, generous soul will accord to DIR.
DIN thanks for his well-timed admonitions, SO
well calculated to dspeI from social life the false
and fraudulent, and to bring sincerity and truth
speaking into more general request:
always be ready to avow your Prln-
ciples of action. Scorn concealment. Put
on your true colors to the gaze of men and
angels. There i false prudence,
mock modesty, which lHculcates the oppo-
sic method. 1t is well and safe to stand
committed TO the right, that the world may
know in advance, where you will be found
in any day of trial; and it is reflection
upon good mans intelligence or integrity

dishonest aims, when he chooses 10 remain

and guides of popular opinion, and they

10 American Mothers.

A defective physical education Is one OF
the primary causes of unhappincss 2-lae
marriage relation. a girl cannot be USE
full or a happy wife, and she canns make
her husband and her children happy, or
even comfortable, unless she be a healthy
woman. In Great Britain, girl in deli
cafe health never expects TO be married,
and her friends never desire il for her.
American girls are proverbially delicate in
organization, and frail in health, and their
mothers were delicate before them, and
their children will be still more delicate
after them, unless there is great reform
in physical cultivation. Such reform is
happily beginning in the North. II is yet

DIPLOMATIC AGENT or HUNGARY. = Count
Samuel Wass has recently arrived in the United
States, in the capacity of Diplomatic Agent from
the new Government of Hungary. M. Wass was
originally dispatched by Kossuth and his Ministry
10 Constantinope, Paris and London in the same
quality and having discharged his mission to those
Governments, near which Hungary has perma-
nent agents. his ultimate destination was fixed for
this country. As his special credentials to our
Government have not yet arrived, he has made no
official application for reception at Washington,
though he has had the honor of private interview
with the President Previous to his departure
from Hungary, NJ. Wass had taken an active part
in the war of independence, both as a member of
the National Diet and in the field.

FROM VENEZUELA. - BY the arrival, at New
York, OF. the brig Potomac, from Msracaibo, we
have further advices from Venezuela.
Capt. Smith, of the Potomac, says that the whole
country was in a state of revolution. Gen. Paez
landed in Coro, from Curacao, about the first of
July, with about sixty officers. He was icined bv
a large force, and the whole of that province at
once declared in his favor. This intelligenos
formed pretext for every species OF Insult and ont
rage toward the foreign merchants of Maraeaibo.
the greater part of whom, well as all the respec
table citizens, are opposed to the present Govern
ment The greatest luminosity prevails toward
American citizens and their houses are searched
by Government officers, under the pretence of dis
affected persons being secreted therein. Their
property is sacrificed and they themselves, in many
instances, have been thrown into prison. Soon
after the intelligence of the landing Of Gen. Paez
at CoFo, the house Of the American 6hsul at Mara
caibo was attacked by soldiers, said t1he headed
by some of the principal officers Of the city, and
severely pelted with stones and other Missiles One
American merchant was confined in prison, and
Others had their houses taken from them bv order
of the Governor, who threatened, if they did not
give them up without any remonstrance, to i'm
prison them all.
Capt Smith further states that since the landing
Of Gen. Paez, very little has been learned of his
movements, altnongh Lhere nad been some lighting
in which the Government troops were defeated
The late reports from Venezuela are so contradic.
tory and diverse, that they must be received with
many grains of allowance. II was supposed that
he would move toward Caracas. 1t is a fact that
no American man.of-war has visited the port Of
Maracaibo One drawing not over 10A feet Of
water, can pass the bar and proceed to the city
with safety, and would put stop to some of the
outrages committed upon the foreign residents, the
greater psrt of whom are American citizens. The
Potomac, after being regularly cleared out at the
cnstom-house, was detained several days by order
of the governor OF the castle Of Don Carlos Withon
giving any satisfactory reason for 70 doing,

RICHMOND AND NEw YoRK PACKETS. - The
New York Journal of Commerce, in noticing the
arrival at that port in the short period of four days
from Richmond, Of the schooner Hanover, one of
anew line of packets, built in Baltimore, to run
between Richmond and New York, says: +" This
new and beautiful vessel is the first of line of six
packets, built at Baltimore, Of The best materials,
and in most workmanlike manner and in their
model and sailing capacities unsurpassed by any
vessels now running on our seaboard. Their cab
ins are very eommodious, and are furnished in a
neat and handsome manner and as the captains
are very attentive and obliging men, we hope that
as to passengers and freight this new line will be
extensively patFonized"

SPELLING OF NEW YORK DoCToRs.--The Mer-

ceived two certificates, one of which stated that
patient had died of ssUere and short illness and
the other that one had died of 'phits,' This last
one must have had very bad spell, we should
think" The Board of Health commissioning the
spelling wants of the faculty, print blank GER
