PoPE PIUs IX.-The New York Com.

January lst, which says:
The languid. dspirited manner Of the
Pipe is generally remarked. Il is well
known here thai he is politically dead.
The college Of Cardinals ovenules him

at reform he brought this body to the very
brink Of destruction. and as i created him
and has the power to depose Aims it now
asserts its foil authority and influence over
him in the ordering Of affairs for its own
preservation. He remains the same "kind
hearted old man. ESQ every one calls him.
but politically is as passive in the hands OF
the Cardinals as PuPPet in the hands Of a
Snowman.

THE STEAMER w. g. CAMPBELL.-We
took advantage this week, Of a hint, re-
oeived some time since, from the officers
of this fire and fast running packet. to
break the monotOny of townlife by trip
to Vicksburg, We have SO frequently
praised the good qualities of the boat, and
the Obliging disposition of the officers, as
to leave but little unsaid There is just
order, regularity, and neatness enough
aboard the boat, to make one respectful
and genteel toward everybody, but not so
much as to stiffen or embarrass. The Of
fcers. talk to you and smile upon you just
enough, and the walters are just polite
enough, to make you feel perfectly at
home, but not vulgarIy familiar. We pay
the Captain the compliment to say that
we lie down at night upon his boat fee
ing as secure of life and limb, as upon
land.

ExALrED PATRIOTISM. The following
small dose from the Charleston Mercury,
may be taken without injury to the stOm-
ach.
The following paragraph from paper
which has taken leading part in all the
anti-s.avery movements that have at
length made the continuance Of the Union
impossible, is really interesting and almost
affecting. What an exalted tone OF patrl-
otism! What profound and unaffected
adherence of al. sectional animosities and
those who foster them. These Northern
agitators who now see the seeds Of mis-
chief they have so bnsily sown, shooting
up and bearing fruit, lift their saiut-like
heads to Heaven, aud with muttered words
about treason aud disloyaIty, thank God
that they, for their paris, are pure and
disiHterested patriots, and not like those
Mississippians aud CaTolinians who, for
for the trifing matter of being robbed, in
suited and irampled on. are ready 10 60 TO
the length of defending themselves:
