Hosmer, young woman of 20 years of age, re-
siding at Watertown, Massachusetts, has produced
piece of sculpture in marble, which evinces tai
ent Of high order, and promises to render her
prominent as an artist. She calls the bust she
has completed "Hesper, the Evening Star" 1t
has the face of a lovely maiden gently falling
asleep with the sound of distant music. Her
hair is gracefully arranged, and intertwned with
capsules of the poppy. A star shines on her
forehead, and under her breast lies the crescent
moon. The conception of the subject of the
whole~ork was her own. The bust is exhibited
in Boston. Miss Hosmer proposes to visit Rome

1t is with profound regret we to-day learn by
telegraph Of the death of this talented, eloquent
and estimable gentleman, which took place at
Panama on the 9th ult.
We saw and conversed with Mr.. McGaughey

felicitated him on the prospects that we believed
were open before him in the far distant region of
California, where abilities, energy, and worth
such as he possessed could not fail to insure
success in his every effort. But he has gone
from among us in the zenith Of life and useful
ness, and many are the warm and ardent friends
to regret his early and unexpected death

The Reason Why Bennett, OF the N. Y
Herald, goes against Gen. Scott.

The Reason Why Bennett, OF the N. Y.
Herald, goes against Gen. Scott.
The editor of the Memphis Enquirer thus ex-
poses the whole secret:
Two or three summers ago, General Scott was
spending short interval of leisure at that de-
ightful resort, Newport, Rhode Island While
sojourning there, one morning at the breakfast
table he asked one of the servants for o newspa-
per. A lady sitting opposite, perfect stranger
to him, reached across the table with newspa-
per in her hand, saying
General Scott, allow me to furnish you with
the Ne,0 York Herald"
1" / thank you, Madam, returned the General,
for your kindness, but Ineper read the Herald"
"Do you know, sir, retorted the lady, with
the utmost indignation painted on her counte-
nance, "do you know, sir, that | am the wife of
Mr.. Bennett, the editor Of the Herald ?"
General Scon.-"1 certainly did not know,
madam, that such was the case, or / should not
have been guilty of making the remark that has
just passed my lips. But, madam, have said
it, and it cannot now be recalled"
From that day to this, the husband Of Mrs.
Bennett has made most malignant war upon Gen.
Scott, through the columns of his unprinciped
journal. No species Of attack-no mode of war
fare, has been left untried to defame aud blacken
one of the best and brightest characters in Anne
rican history. 1t was the Herald that started the
barefaced and outrageous SANDER about SCOTS
utilization with the North and his alliance with
Seward and it was the Herald, that, with men
dacity unparalleled in modern times, first charged
Gen. Scott with being the author of an anony-
nous Native American letter signed Americus,
which appeared in Washington paper several
years ago. It's capacity for fasehood and calum-
ny upon the great and good, is only equalled by
the crazy imagination oft reckless editor.

We hear good tidings from many portions of
this State. The Winchester Republican says that
George W. Summers, in letter to q gentleman
in that town, says that if eastern Virginia will
give Gen. Scott the same vote it gave him. the in
creased vote in the west will secure the State.
We believe this is reliable intelligence. Virginia
viii this time be true to her native son.

The aGreat Democratic Demonstration
ut Reading, Pa.

The telegraph told us this was really great
affair. Eye-witnesses assure us it was little
more than an ordinary county meeting The
large military turnout was single company, and
that commanded by Wing. Weeks had been
passed in preparation, and Buchanan, Gov. Lowe,
of Maryland, Gov. Bigler, of Pennsylvania, and
other lions, had been brought together as attrac.
tons. The Philadelphia North American attests
to the truth of this statement.

Prentice will have his joke. Hear him:
"The New Hampshire Patriot says that, when
ever Gen. Pierce speaks upon any question, he
covers the whole ground We don't know how
much ground he covers when ne speaks, but, as
often as he undertakes to fight, he covers as much
as his small proportions can"
THE New Hampshire Patriot says that Gen
Pierce is certainly rising man. He may be o
rising man now, but indeed he was falling one
in Mexico"

GRoaoETowN, Sept. {

GEoRGETowN, Sept 6-l2 m.
The Unterrifed" assembled last night in
front Of Forrest Hall. After considerable drum
ming, fling, &C., they succeeded in mastering
q tolerable gathering, most of whom were Wings.
The first actor who appeared upon the stage
was Mr.. Thos. Semmes, of our town. This gen
tleman's speech consisted chiefly in laborious
effort, in which he failed sgnally, to prove that
the Wings of New Hampshire were responsible
for the odous religious test in the Constitution of
that State by defeating conventions called for its
revision, &C. Mr.. s. was finally brought up all
standing by man of his own party putting the
question to him. (which he failed to answer,) Is
not New Hampshire Democratic State
The next speaker was Mr.. r. Ould, esq, who
attempted to prove that Gen. Pierce never made
the New Boston speech. He paid handsome
compliment to Gen. Scott, as military chieftain,
and gave as his reasons for opposing his election
to the Presidency that, in case we should again
become involved in another war, ace should haze
need for his services in the army! He then gave
us the history of his conversion from Wing to
Democrats and told us that in 1910 he was
Wing, in Al nondescript, in IA q States Right
man, and, as such, supported Clay, and also Tay-
lor in '48; and illustrated his present position
by recting the anecdote of Captain Stockton and
the Indians. He wound up with crusade
against all sorts of home protection, and gave
way for Mr.. Ratclif, Of your city; but by this
time the company had dwindled down to cor
poral's guard This gentleman, after fattering
and congratuating, as usual, his foreign friends,
opened calling fire on what he termed General
Scott's inconsistency towards them, and made an
earnest appeal to their passions.
The health of our town continues excellent,
and our Mayor, with his officers, are indefatga-
BILE in their efforts to keep our streets free from
every thing that has the slightest tendency to en-
danger it.
Our cotton factory is driving on rapidly, turn
ing out large quantities of excellent fabrics. The
conductors complain much of great scarcity Of
hands.

Mr.. Foss, of New Hampshire, who reported
Gen. Pierce's famous New Boston speech has
written letter to o gentleman in Norfolk, re-
affirming the truth Of the report, and explaining
why Gen. Pierce made the speech, and the rea-
sons for assuming the positions that he did. Mr..
F. is not Scott man, because Gen. Scott stands
upon the Wing platform, and "would not feel
the same repugnance to slavery as one born and
educated at the North"

Extract of letter to gentleman in this city

KNOXVILLE, TENN, Aug. ~, 1852.
When saw you last, ] promised to give you
some account of the speaking between General
Haskell and Colonel Guild at this place. The
discussion took place on Friday last, and was at
tended by very large number of persons. Col.
Guild led off, and, although a man of considera-
BILE ability, made very lame effort-so much so
that his political friends greatly disappoint-
ed. AS an evidence of the fact, candid Demo-
crat asserted, after the discussion was over that
Gould is talented man, and could successfully
cope with Haskell, If they could only exchange
sides" Another intelligent Democrat--who is a
personal friend, and who is the abest writer in the
party here--remarked to me, the next morning,
that Gould was no match for Haskell; that he
ran rough shod over him; that he knew nothing
that he would do the party more harm in East
Tennessee than good" So you will see that Guild
is not likely to make many Democratic votes in
this end of the State,
General Haskell in reply, made one of the most
effective and eloquent speeches | have ever had
the pleasure of hearing. He demolished every
argument advanced by Guild completely, and his
speech created most intense enthusiasm in the
large crowd present Colonel Guild, during his
speech, elected but little applause while General
Haskell, in the delivery of his, was interrupted
with frequent and repeated bursts of applause,
in vhich many Of the Democrats united! The dis
cussion has done much good here; it has fired up
the Wings; every man is at work; and we can
now safely calculate upon General SCOTS getting
a larger majority an This county than Campbell re-
ceiped for governor at the last election! I assure
you that Haskell will make votes wherever he
goes; and he intends to speak in every county in
East Tennessee before leaving it. He is a strong
debater-an eloquent speaker, and the people
everywhere desire to see and hear him. and
whenever he speaks, they turn out in immense
crowds. The prospect in Tennessee is good: the
news from every part of the State is cheering
and our friends confident of carrying the State
for Scott in November by majority of at least
JiUe thousand votes.
/ assure you that the excitement is now fairly
up, and that in all exciting contests in Tennessee
the Wings have ever been victorious.
Governor Jones and General Cullom are to ad-
dress the people at this place on the 18th of Sep
TENDER. The citizens are making large prepare
tons for an extensive barbecue on the occasion
We expect thousands of people to be present, and
anticipate glorious time.
The citizens of Loudon, thirty miles south of
this, are extensively engaged in making prepara-
tons for the mass meeting at that place on the
14th. We expect crowd to be there of at least
twenty thousand persons.
Everything now seems to be doing well through
out the State, and, from present indications, we
confidently expect to carry the State in November
for Scott and Graham.
