Clark, was brought from the cage along with other
choice white and black spirits. The officer informed
the Mayor that Clark had called al the cage Saturday
evening, and asked for lodgings, but as the city only
provides accommodations for thieves and vagabonds
OF course his request was denied. Somewhat later in
the night the walchmen found Clark asleep in store

in the eye OF the law, why, he was conducted to the
cage and locked up Upon being asked by the May
or what he had 10 say for himsel he SAID that he had
served his country faithfully and asked to be released
in consideration thereof. Without questioning the ac-
curacy OF the statement the Mayor told him to march,
but advised him not to go to sleep again in public
door, else he might do the Sergeant OF the City some
service
John Gouldman, white! was next arraigned upon the

The Mobile Herald and Tribune, very warm
Southern resistance paper, heartily applauds the
address recently issued by Southern high's
Association composed ola portion OF the students
of the University of Virginia. A part OF Its
commentary is amusing enough, and we there
fore quote it:
1t the address) is warm and patriotic appeal to the
Young men of the south. 1t shows that concession has
well nigh undone us and that the fault IS net so much
in the natural grasping and domneerlng character o.,
other sections but in our own temposng indecsVe anu
pusanimous policy. In opinion tsays the address,
one ofthe principal obstacles to the preservation OF the
Union is the idea so largely prevalent at the North,
that there is concession no sacnllce, to which the
South will not consent rather than secede-no depth OF
degradation which her people will not iathom rather
than dissolve the Union. In this notion, our past
actions have unhapply contributed but too much 10
confirm them If we would save the Union there
must be end 10 all this. We must teach the
North that though have sacrificed wealth and
power, and equality, there are some concessions which
will not make some rights which are dearer to US
than The Union itself.
That's as true as gospel The remedy propo sed is
not secession eaon, but some security by winch
the existing law for the recovery OF fugitive slaves shall
be iigdy enforced, and some guaranty that the south
shall have accorded to her certainty otfuure equality
in the political power of the republic. Hon. these guar

sufficient patriotism and spirit prove that tlev have
learned good lessons from the alma materofthe Virgin
ia statesmen.
The difficulty, which the students found in
prescribing remedy for the evils supposed to ex-
st to so alarming and extent, is one which older
heads are utterly unable to remove, if they stop
short of the honest proposition Of South Carolina
to secede from the Union. tits easy enough to
cry aloud that the North is committing encroach-
ments and the South must not submit any Ion
ger, but vague declarations in resolutions and ad-
dresses accomplish nothing in the way of pre-
vention or redress. AS to nonintercourse, we
saw the other evening happy exempitication of

CNEY AFFAIR .

We have received the January number of the
Methodist Quarterly Reuie'o, published in this
city by the Rev. John Early, printed by Colin,
Baptist & Nowlan, and edited by the Rev. Mr..
Doggett This important religious magazine was
formerly published at Louisville, Kentucky, but is
hereafter to be issued in this city. Its appearance
is highly creditable to the Typography of Rich
mond and will vie with that of any northern peri
odcal. Its more material qualities are still more
deserving of commentator. Amongst its articles
we observe very able one on the inspiration of
the scriptures by the Rev. Mr. Moore, of the
Presbyterian Church. The Rev. and Hon. Mr..
billiard of Alabama, contributes an interesting
&C count of the plan and operations of the Smith
sonan Institution. The editor furnishes an in
structive and useful essay on the Destiny of the
Educated. We heartily wish the Quarterly
success commensurate with the zeal of the large
denomination of Southern Christians whom it
more particularly represents.

A supplement to the Liverpool Journal, of the
18th ult., devotes column to the recent cores
pondence between Mr. Hulsemann, the Austrian
Minister at Washington, and the American
Secretary OF State. After giving an outline Of
the controversy, including several extracts from
Mr.. Webster's letter, the Journal winds up as
follows:
elm this way the Republic is practising the
phraseology in which, by-and-by, she is to dictate
to despotism, and cheer on everywhere the friends
of civilization, truth, and freedom In this dp lo-
matte 'sctto,' however, Mr.. Webster has the best
side of the argument, for he has the law on his
side, while there is freshness about his courtesy
that surprises and pleascs. Congress was de-
lighted with the manliness of the foreign secre-
tary; and it seems the unwelcome laughter Mr.
Hulsemann's notes excited, reached the attentive
ears of the representatives of Russia and Austria,
both of whom were IN the House."
