Death thou "l1vcst shining mark"
for Elmorc, the talented and distinguished,
hath fallen at thy mandate.
Seargent S. Prentiss has fallen A
brilliant light has been quenched, and the
Plcadcr has carried his cause up to that
Tribunal from which there can be no ap.
peal.
And could'st not thou spare for little
longer, one whose age is as nothing before
the great Jehovah! Why blunt the point
of her eloquent pen, ard why hush the
kindly tErobhings Of her noble heart! In
thy rpamings, couldst thou not find some
number victim of thy wrath, than Mar.
garet Fuller? All thou must fulfil thy
mission, ordained by providence, until the
stars shall grow dim with age, and yon
glorious luminary of day sets in eternal
darkness
Go then and pluck the bloom from the
rose in its sweetness and its beauty, and
scatter to the air its richest perfume strike
down manhood as he launches his frail
bark on the cventful waters of life; and
when the great warrior returns from the
ground of his exploits, covered with glo-
ry, conquer him, oh spoiler, and hold him
thy prisoner
"i'hc hero, the statesman, Ills journey is done,
All his cares are now over, his last battle won;
Now swcctly he rests from his sorrows and
tears,
And leaves proud nation in sadness and
tearso
They have fallen! Great intellect or
renown, or elevated station could not save
them from the worm, for it was written
"dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou
return" Man, omatter how brilliant his
career, or how dazzlingly splendid his
talents, must, in process of time, be en-
circled within the limits of little spot of
eartl
''Thc boast OF heraldry, the porip Of power.
And all that beauty, ali that wealth e'cr gave,
Await alike the inevitable hour
The paths Of glory lead but to the grave"
Sleep, on noble dead of 1850! Sleep
on in your last rest, and mingIe your dust
with the free soil of Columbia, in the
hallowed graves where Americans have
laid you. Sleep on while in the inmost
reccsscs of our hearts your names are
cherished

CALIFORNIA DocroRs.-It is not a
very comfortable thing 10 be sick any
where, but it seems more especially to be
necessary that poor men should eschew
the luxury of illness in California. From
a fee bill Of the San Francisco Medical
Society, extracts of which are published
in the Baltimore Sun, we find that the
California Doctors know how to dose
their patients with charges, as we'll as with
pills and powders. A single visit is S32,
and visits in the course of a regular at.
tendance half that sum. A visit at night
is from $50 to $50, and written opinion
from $50 to 500. Mileage is $40,
and a consulting visit S32. A mans leg
will be cut off for $500, and finger will
be dedigitated for a cool hundred. But
the largest of the charges is for the opc.
ration Of cataract, which is simply thou
sand dollars. Either the cataracts in Cal.
ifornia, as Mrs. Partington would say, are
all Falls of Niagara, or the California
Doctors did, not carry out their conscii
ences in the same vessel that: took their
medical storcs.-Charleston Sun.

REV. THEODORE PARKER.--The Port.
land (Me) Evening News says, that the
Rev. Theodore Parker, of Boston, after
uniting in marriage the fugitive slaves,
William Crafts, and tho colored woman
with whom he lived as his wife, drew forth
dagger and presented it to Crafts, ad-
monishing him to "stain it with the blood
of thousands" rather than suffer himself
or wife to be captured.

MINISTER AT RtssIA.-Hon. NEIL BRowr,
Minister at Russia, has written home that ne
shall ask to be recalled next summer. He
says there are much less American trade With
Russia than formerly, and what there is, IS
mostly through Great Britain. The whole
ceremony between Emperor and himself, at
his presentation, was mere conversation Of

The VERMONT MULTIPLICATION L1w.-The
Brattleboro (Vt) Eagle repeats the intima-

Quitman will resist the process while he
remains Governor. Should Judge Ghol.
son decide that Quitman is answerable to
the process, the Marshal of Mississippi
will arrest him, and take him to Louisiana.
If not, the United States Marshalof Lou.
isiana will be instructed to serve the pro-
cess upon him, and he will be supported
by the whole power of the United States" "
We don't believe a word of this story
about the pretended information against
Gov Quitman. In the Mississippian of
the Goth ult., we find a correspondence
between the U. S. District Attorney and
the Governor, in which the latter calls
tho accusations brought against him
"baseless charges" and signifies his rea-
d!ncss to confront his accusers as soon as
his official term expires, but not sooner.
After this correspondence, and we pre-.
sumo of course under the direction of the
Fillmore administration, an application
was made to the Judge Of the United
States District Court for the arrest of
Gov. Quitman, and his removal to New
Orleans. The motion was argued in open
court, not only by the U. S. District At.
torney for the prosecution, but also by
special counsel employed by the Govern.
ment Of the United States. At our latest
dates the motion was still under advise.
nent before Judge Gholson.
The whole power of the Federal Go.
vernment is brought to bear upon this
issue, and even if Judge Gholson decides
that the Governor is not liable to arrest
whilst Governor, the Marshall of Louisi.
ana, with the military Of the United
States, is to arrest him any how. We be-
lieye such power called into exercise would
be an u,rwarrantable encroachment on the
rights Of a sovereign State, and would
be resisted by the people Of Mississippi;
Had it been the Governor of Vermont, or
the executive of any Free Soil State, this
matter would have been dropped Tong
silTce; but it is Quitnlan the disenienist,
and not Quitman as a Cuban sympa.hizer,
they want to get hold of. No, the whole
design and intent of this prosecution
would appear to be solely to tarnish the
fair fame of one of the South's most true.
hearted champions at this juncture. We
want to see the Louisiana Marshal and
the federal troops undertake the arrest of
the gallant Quitman. 1t would be the
signal for an uprising throughout the
South that would astonish Fillmore and
Webster. The gallant Governor knows
well the lnettle of the Palmettoes. They
might like to be at the fray.-South Car.
