Charles Lamb,

Anything from the pen OF the gentle Lamb is
worth saving. The following anecdote and
lines, we think, are not to be found in his BIZ
ography. Not only did he think TO use the
language of Terence) nothing human alien from
him but what was human. He avowed want
of conception of anything uanscendental.-
When his friend Colerldge was specutng, in
dream worthy Of Plato, upon a future state Of
existence, upon man as he is, and man as he
is to be, it was Lamb that said, "Give me man
US he is not 10 be-"
Charles Lamb was the last Of his family
There runs not (as Logan sald) drop Of his
blood in any living creature. How keenly he
felt this the following lines witness:-
ga heavy lot hath he, most wretched man,
Who lives the last of all his family.
lie looks around him, and his eye dscerns
The face of the stranger, and his heart is sick.
Man of the world what canst thou do for him!
Wealth is burden which he could not bear;
Mnh strange crime the which he does not act;
And wine no cordial, but bitter cup,
For wounds like his, CHRIST is the only cure;
And gospel promises are his by right,
Since these were given to the poor in heart.
Go preach to him of world TO como,
Where friends shall meet and know each others
faces;
Say less than this, and say tito the Winds"
And again, and better than the above, he
writes thus of "the family name:"
"What reason first imposed thee, gentle name,
Name that my father bore, and his siro's sire
Without reprOachl We trace our stream nc
higher,
And |, childless man, may end the same.
Perchance some shepherd, on Lincolnian plains
In manners guilelesS as his own sweet hocks,
Received thee first amid the merry mocks
And arch illusions of his fellow swains,
Perchanco from SNlem's holier field returned,
With glory gotten on the heads abhorred
OF lailhess Saracens, some martial lord
To His meek title, in whose zeal he burned.
Whate'er the fount whence thy beginnings came
No deed Of mine shall shame The gentle Name.

W. FORK OF Tam RIVER, June Is, lS49.
GENERAL: Having seen paragraph going the
rounds of the newspapers, stating that the dragons
above Waco village had lost many horses by the
Indians, have the honor TO contradict such a re-
port, and 10 state that the two companies of dra-
goons which have been under my command have
not had horse stolen since their arrival in Texas
in November last, have heard of any Indian
depredations committed in this part of the country
for several months.
About one hundred Indians of the different wild
tribes are now visiting me. They brought down and
delivered up some thirty five horses, which they
had taken from the Wichitas-horses stolen within
the last year from citizens. Three Wiciita chiefs
are here, and promise every thing for the future.
All is peace and quiet on this frontier.
Very respectfully, General, your most obedient
servant, h. A. ARNOLD,

BALrlmoaE, August as D. m.

BALTIMORE, August I'D p, IN.
The National Convention of Inventors assembled
at Washington Hall this morning. There was
quite large delegation present.
The convention was organized by calling Horace
ii. Day, of New York, to the chair, and appointing
j. III. Greer, OF Virginia, Secretary.
Mr.. Day upon taking the chair addressed the
convention for some time, setting forth the objects
for which they had been called together. He was
very happy in his remarks. A committee of three
was finally appointed TO nominate permanent Off
GERS.
The Locofoco city convention assembled last
night, and after much confusion succeeded in
nominating Mr.. J. M Gwynn, a candidate for the
Legislature, inplace of Mr.. Pickerell, who resigned
MIR. Gwynn is very clever young man, and il is to
be regretted that he has espoused so bad cause
The Wings are actually engaged in preparing
for the fall campaign. The subject of State reform
will be made the main electioneering hobby by both
parties, and il is doubtful if any candidate the
Wing or Democratic side will succeed, unless he
uses the reform thunder.

which was run aground on Saturday, near Easton
is still there, and the water, at last accounts,

very heavy. The Herald, which went down to hel
relief, returned this morning with part of her furn
ture, and proceeded this afternoon on her regular
trip TO Norfolk

Another matter worthy Of remark is, that the
the number Of persons who make the passage in
winter has greatly increased.
In the months Of January, February, and March,
1874, there were but 2,l0l passengers arriving at
New York by sea, though in the same months in
this year there were less than 26,706, increase
of thirteen fold while the total increase of immigra
ton in the seven months is only -four fold In ls44
only about ons. seventeenth of the number Of immi
grants arriving in the first seven months arrived in
January, February, and March, while in the pres
ent year nearly one ffh Of the whole arrived in the
first three months.
The increasing troubles and difficulties of sub
sistence probably cause this difference thing
rendered yet more probable, the Commercial Adper-
hse says, by the extreme restitution in which
great numbers arrive. The proportions arriving
in the first three months out of the seven are as
follows:
