PORTSMOUTH, (VA., } Dec. 25, 1851

PORTSMOUTH, (pA.,) Dec. 20, 1901.
GENTLEMEN: To-day opened upon US with q
steady rain and blow from the northeast, which
proved the necessity, beyond doubt, of being
provided with good umbrellas and stout over
coats. This is rather unfortunate, because Of
its being the day set apart by the Seaboard and
Roanoke Railroad Company for their first ex-
cursion through to Weldon. Nevertheless,
these things do not occur with US often, and
though but few of the invited "guests of dis
tinction" made their appearance in time to take
part in this grand jubilee, yet the vacuum thus
created was soon filed by those who were anx-
ious to participate, if an opportunity should Of
fer. So, on the whole, quite numerous gath
ering of the "people" from these diggings will,
to-day, tread the soil and mingle with the sons
of the Old North State.
James Jarvis, esq, inspector of the Gosport
yard, left here few days since for your city,
to lay before the department samples of the ef
fects produced from a system Of experiments
instituted by the chief Of the Bureau of Yards
and Docks, to detect the inceptive cause, and
prevent, Us far as practicable, the great tend
ency to destruction from the marine worm, dry
rot, dry worm, and other causes, of the vast
amount of timber of various kinds used for the
| purposes Of government that are subjected to
their destructive ravages and most ruinous eff
fects.
These improvements have been carried on for
a number Of months (probably fifteen) in the
most systematic manner by Mr.. Jarvis, and have
already resulted in his making many valuable
discoveries that will prove beneficial to the
Government, and add new features to science
and philosophy of much Importance Elabo-
rate and lucid reports Of these achievements,
together with the process adopted by him in
| attaining the conclusions arrived at, have, / am
informed, been laid before the chief of the de-
partment having cognizance of this subject,
| and which it is to be presumed will, at some
early day, be published for the benefit of the
public generally but more particularly that
large class of our population who are engaged
in ship building and similar occupations, and
who are likely to profit by the many valuable
discoveries the wisdom Of the Bureau of Yards
and Docks, through the experience and energy
of Mr. Jarvis, have been instrumental in dis
covering
A petition is being extensively circulated and
signed, both here and in Norfolk city, praying
the Postmaster General to continue the north
ern mail daily throughout the winter, and not
subject the numerous and business population
of these two towns, with q populous surround
ing country, to tri-weekly during the ensuing
three months. do hope Mr.. Hall will consider
well this matter, and not subject to this
great inconvenience, if few dollars are the
only obstacle to his granting this great and ne
cessary accommodation.

A Spirit moves abroad the earth,
Infusing into mind
The genius Of its own high birth
To elevate mankind.
Where'er, as here, unfettercd, free,
II vindicates the right,
And wrong and crime before IL fee,
As darkness fees from light.
That Spirit, sleepless, watches DER
The freeman's chosen land
Alike protects the rich and poor,
And links them hand in hand
1t guides Columbia in the path
OF glory and renown,
While tyrants crouch before its wrath,
And tremble at its frownl
The Press l-behold its glory where
The lightning flashes play,
For FRANKLIN stamped his image there,
And caught the burning ray
Behold 1t where pure knowledge twines
Her bright, unfading wreaths-
For there that glory brightly shines,
And there that spirit breathes
Oh, 'twere glorious theme to trace
Beyond the trackless sea,
From cline to cline, and race to race,
This Spirit, chainless, freei-
To mark its steps where kingly might
Hath made Of millions slaves,
And men, aroused, we're nerved to fight
For freedom or for graves!
In Europe, faint and trembling still,
This Spirit, crushed, shall rise
Yet once again let patriots thrill,
And show them freedoms prize!
Then ruthless kings shall bow before
The Peoples majesty,
And dearest rights, withheld Of yore,
Be wrung from tyranny
All hail, then, Spirit Of the Pressl
Thy mission, high, sublime,
Thy nations, freed, shall surely Rws,
Through all the course of tinsH
For thou hast gone abroad the earth,
1nfusing into mind
The genius Of thine own high birth
To elevate mankindl

TEMPERANCE MovEMENTs.-The parade Of
several temperance societies and orders, yester
day, was very imposing. Their regalia looked
bright and pretty in the glstening sun, and
their tread was firm and steady to the notes Of
Marsoletti's fine band The sidewalks we're
everywhere crowded with spectators, and Gen.
Savage passed along among them, distributing
some excellent fourth proof temperance tracts
These men are making their mark upon the
age; and some even of the most humble men
among them, will be remembered for good, long,
aye perhaps for centuries, after the green mint
has ceased to vegetate over the graves of the
thousands of julep-bibbers whoInow scof at
their noble efforts.

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE,

BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
OWING to the late revolutions and counterreyouons
" among the nations of Europe, which have followed
each other in such quick succession, and of which the
end is not ye the leading periodicals of Great Britain
have become invested with degree of interest hitherto
unknown. They occupy a middle ground between the
hasty dsoned and necessarily imperfect records OF the
newspapers and the elaborate and ponderous treaties to
be furnished by the historian at future day. Whoever
reads these periodicals obtains correct and connected
count of all the important political events of the Old
World they occur and learns the various conclusions
drawn from them by the leading spirits of the age The
American publishers therefore deem 1T proper to call
newed attention to the works they publish and the very
low prices at which they offered to subscribers The
following Is their list, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLAoKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals contained the views moderately
though clearly firmly expressed of the three greatest
parties in England-Tory, Wing, and Radical; Black

burgh Review" Wing, and the "Westminster Review

by Dr. Chalmers and now, since his DEATH s conducted

Foreign Quarterly and Westminster it being in fact
union of Reviews formerly published and reprinted

this combination of uniting in work the best features
