by prominent ex-member of Congress from
Western Pennsylvania to a friend in this city
published in the Inteligencer:

coming from one who writes with light and
knowledge.

The Richmond Republican, in noticing this
subject, asks, "Why does not Senator King re-

Senator King will do no such thing. He presides
over the deliberations of the Senate with dignity
and ability; and we doubt whether one of his
political opponents in that body desires his resig-
nation. Long service as Senator, and distin-
guished talents, peculiarly qualify him for the
position which he occupies; and should he be

The note of these poor fellows to their true
and estimable friend, the Hon. r. C. Weightman,
complaining of the conduct of the rude boys of
our city, is very extensively copied, and we read
with blush Of shame the comments it elicits.
"7he bad management Of some parents aoho do not
restrain their children" Thus spoke couple of
Indians just redeemed from savage life. What
q reproof to the people of the capital of civil
lied country! Is there one parent in Washing
ton who will acknowledge thisreproof as addressed
to him. We'fear not: and yet there are hun
dreds Of honest men whose children are growing
up in close familiarity with every species OF
crime, and whose steps are toward infamy and

a young companion his delightful home and many
advantages in this very city. But that boy not
long since died here bloated, drunken, pauper.
And there are more of the same sort. Look to
it.

The New York Tribune is down on what il
calls " Flunkeyism," and instances the obsequi-
BUSINESS of the fashionables at Newport who par
ticipated in a recent ceremony, which it thus de-
scribes:
"Last Sunday was what is called, in the calen-
dar of French saints, the anniversary of the En-
peror Napoleon, and, as we learn from Newport,
it was celebrated by mass at the Church of the
Holy Name Of Mary. This sacred service was
performed at the special request of Mr.. Sartiges,
the French Minister, who is now enjoying the de-
lights of that fashionable watering place. 1t was
attended by considerable number of French
residents and visiters of the town, and also by
brilliant body Of American would-be aristocracy
of both sexes. The party, and especially the
American portion, were, as we understand, after
ward entertained at dinner by his Excellency the
Minister, when the festivities were rendered
doubly joyous by the expression, not merely OF
the recollectons, but of the hopes connected with
the name of Napoleon"

We are gratifed to learn, by an authentic tele-
graphic despatch, that this gentleman was nomi-
mated, by reclamation, by convention Of his con-
stituents, ON the 18th instant. Mr.. Campbell had
previously expressed his desire not to be again
q candidate but it is with pleasure we observe
that the estimate formed of his merits in this city
is fully endorsed by the people of his district.
Intelligent, able, dignifed, and devoted to the
duties of his position, he is ever found where
men of worth and stability are needed.
Mr.. Campbelrs district, in 1861, gave DEM
ocratic majority of 1000 votes, having been so
shaped by a Democratic legislature, as we have
been informed, for the purpose of burying him
up; but the people knew him, and, throwing off
in measure the restraints of party, rallied to
his support. This was an honorable tribute to
his worth, and well has he merted the confidence
thus reposed in him. Yet Campbell is no time
serving, halfway politician. His portraiture of
himself, in the conclusion of an able speech, now
before as, delivered on the 18th instant, in the
House of Representatives, is just and truthful.
Speaking of himself, as Wing, he exclaimed
Let others do as they may, sir; for my own
part, have long been enlisted in this cause-a
soldier not for three months, nor for six months,
nor "for the war" alone, but for life; and my
greatest aim shall be so to press on, that, when
my battles are oil over in this world, it may be
written Of me, politically, at least
"Faithful found
Among the fathless"

Ushakep, unseduced unterrifed,
His loyalty he kept, his love- his ZEAL
Nor number nor example, with him wrought
To swerve from TRUTH change his constant mind.'
We shall embrace an early opportunity to quote
o series of extracts from the columns of this
speech.

writer in the Philadelphia Sun states that on
Saturday last, a gentleman of the legal protes-
sion, after having severe surgical operation
performed under the influence of chloroform, by
DR.. Winslow, made two elegant speeches, and re-
peated two or three pieces of poetry from
Young's Night Thoughts, of which he had not
the slightest recollection afterwards.
He commenced in mild voice and pleasing &C
cent as follows
"Sweet sleep"
After short pause he continued
"Tired natures sweet restorer," &c.
After taking leave of the poet, he slept sweetly
two or three minutes, when he commenced as fol-
lows:
Mr. President, lest should become too pro-
lix, allow me to address few words to the fairer
portion Of this audience" &c.
He then eulogized woman, diating on her in
fuence and responsibility, closing with an apos-
trophe on temperance, and advocating yehe-
mently the Maine liquor law.
His gestures were energetic and appropriate,
although his eyes were closed during all his re-
marks. His somnolency continued but few
minutes after he had done speaking. He was de-
lighted that he had suffered no pain, and sur.
prised when told Of his interesting speeches,
and said he had had pleasant dream

DW- During our rambles yesterday, wes'ealled
in" at the Arsenal, with the intention Of seeing
some of our old acquaintances among the "bone
and sinew" employed there. There is not great
deal of work doing at this place, nor many hands
employed, but everything appears to be in good
order, and waiting only for the command OF the
authorities. We,saw, in our rounds, "Duncan's
battery" that did such good service with Scott
and Taylor at Paro Alto, Resaca, Monterey, Mo-
limo, Churubusco, and Mexico. 1t is worth a
walk to see it; and when you have seen 1T, you
will be glad to know that the workmen are put
ting these old pieces in condition to do more good
service, if required. The soap machine" is not
in operation now, and we are informed that ere
long it will be removed entirely, and taken to
Frankfort, near Philadelphia, where all the caps
| for the army are to be manufactured The
trophies, too, are worthy of notice Those taken
at Yorktown, Saratoga, and Niagara, remind us
of days gone by, when it was the amusement OF
our soldiers to take such things from Johnny
Bull. The long guns taken from San Juan
d'Ulloa are trophies of an event more recent.
DSTH We took ride in one of Reside & Mer-
ribs new coaches yesterday, and in a short time
found ourselves outside of the city, at the
'Park." This is intended as n place of resort

the pleasure and comfort of visiters, and in this
respect the entire satisfaction of every vsiter is
