Our notice of this topic must be brief He spoke OF

Of nations, there must be judicious admixturc OF
practical business men, and men Of thought, de-
voted to literature. Either extreme was unwise
and injurious, as was exampled IN Germany, ma
ton of students where speculation and metaphysics
were the order of the day. There was reason to
apprehend that our country was going on in the
other extreme, because of the great prepondersnce
of the commercial element. The greed Of gain at
no period of the worlds history had ever been more
Unsuitable than it now existed in this county
There were many noble exceptions to this rule
who, while active in the duties OF business, yet
were equally devoted to the advancement of pure
uncorrupt literature. This should be the character
Of merchants generally Their interests were init

were not sustained in judicious and instructive
writine-that from motives of self interest of

and dangerous influence throughout the land. A
vrtuous literature should then be encouraged, and
efforts that were made to extend 1t, should be gen
orally sustained by the commercial community -
The false notions among mercantile men that the
accumulation of wealth inconsistent with the
development of the intellect, and that the man OF

classes and citizens generally. to unite in extending
the departments of knowledge and science, and
supporting pure and universal American lisera-

ARCHBISHOP HUGHES.

The recent lecture, by this distinguished
prelute, while il was generally estalled tor It's
ability and temper, is electiug some pretty
frank criticisms from the press. As this is the
age of free and frank discussion, and as we
have stated the general grounds of the Arch
bishop's lecture, it is but fair to look into the
criticisms draws from the daily press. The N.
York Tribune reviews the lecture with great
freedom. That paper says:
aMarylaud pas founded indeed by Catholic
Dersons, under Protestant King and Nation,
who would of course have made short work Of
any attempt to prescribe Professionalism in any
part Of their colonies.
"Free iom Of Religion in Maryland was
therefore equality for the Catholic colonists
with their rulers aud masters-a wise and po-
little as we'll as just provision, but of no remar-
kable magnanilnity, after all. II n Catholic
Colony had been founded under a Catholic
Nation upan the principles of Religious Liber-
~ proclaimed by Lord Baltimore, it would
have been white crow really worth exhibit
ing. This country is not land OF
Religious Equality for Protestants and Ca'ho-
edans, Deists, Atheists, md ldolaters as well,
no matter whether their ancestors fought in
the Revolution or not"
The Tribune contends that if the Bishop
really desired the establishment of Religious
Freedom in Italy, Spain, and Portugal, he
would not regard the subject as one utterly
foreign to American Catholics. Ii believes the
Archbishop himself might exert very potent
influence in favor of Religious Liberty in Eu'
rope, especially in Rome, if he only chose to
do so.

10 Virginia is called the nursery of great
men-as it truly has been. Richmond is also
a nursery-a nursery of business US well as
professional men. Annually there proceed
from this place young men who go to the
North as well as the South, to seek their for.
tunes; and we believe they take quite as active
and prominent part in the pursuits of life, as
those from any other locality in the Union.-
This has been the case from the day that
Henry Clay--then, as he himself said, lean
lank, sandy-haired aud rudy complexioned
boy. falherless, homeless, friendless and penni-
iess-stole from the suburbs of Richmond and
started away to seek his fortunes in the then
distant regions of the far West. If none of
equal note have followed the footsteps of this
iilustrious Observation-Disclosures with hopes
and impulses such as his have left their homes
here to try their fortunes in distant places.
One feature of this emigration Of the young
men OF Richmond, which is some what striking,
is the large proproporton of it which tends to
the Northern cities. Some of the Jewels of
the place are thus transferred to those North
ern cities. The demand which exists there for
them is gratifying 10 the maternal pride of
Richmond; but, in a commercial sense, she is
not without causes for regret. These Young
men carry with them their business and per.
sonal influence and affinities, and large
amount Of the trade Of this State with the
North has been carried there by them
Many OF them, return upon periodical business
visits to make interest for those by whom thew
are employed, and large trade is thus tbroupb
them secured.
vi course, this state of things, while in some
Degree subject OF regret, cannot be avoided.
When young man seeks the most populous
Of cities, the head quarters of commerce. as the
theatre OF his enterprise, it displays an alnbi.
ton which is worthy Of praise. Nevertheless,
II does seem TO us, that it is the interest of bust.
ness men, and Of the commerce of this place
and the South, thef the emigration of which we
speak should be as limited as possible. Its
elects on our home enterprises are more disas-
trous than the public seem to be aware off,
Therefore, we think that every inducement
which Gun be reasonably offered, ought to be
held out 10 check it. Capital that is squan-
dered may be replaced; but these young men.
these jewels Of the city, are not to be recoy-
cred shen once they are lost.

A Fracas-Spirituat " Rappings" Collins
iSteamers-Presidentia Market.
WASHINGTON, March u.
The fracas between Lit. Beale and Madison
Crane, Esq, occurred at Browns Hotel, and
not at the National, as reported. The facts are
briefly these.
The appointment of 1t. Beale, as Supern-
tendent of Indian Affoirs, in California, gave,
for some cause, offence TO Mr.. Crane and |
learn he permitted himself to indulge rather
freely in acrimoniu5 structures on the action OF
the Secretary tMr. Stuart,) not at all compli-
mentary to the talents of hlr. Beale, or his fit
ness for the position assigned him. As above
stated, the parties met a. Browns, where the
fracas alluded 10, occurred, which resulted in
the discontinue of MIR. G. Neither party, how
ever, received any material personal injury.
Our Navy Yard neighbors have, for several
days past been thrown into considerable
state of excitement, owing to the mysterious
visitation of the Spiritual Rappings in their
midst
The character Of MIR. keithley, in whose
house these uuearthly sounds have seemingly
located, to the evident annoyance and bewil-
derment of the whole family forbids all susp.
cion of collision on his part. Disting uished
personages, embracing Members of Congress,
scientific men and reverend divines, have Vi
sited the hou5e, and returned after distinctly
hearing the noises, as benghted in regard to
their origin, as they previously were.
Now, let these rappings proceed from sspir-
its ofhealih, or Gobbns, damned" if they will
"a tale unfold' that would lead to the discoye-
ny as to rho will be the successful candidate
for the Presidential nomination, much idle
speculation and painful solicitude would be OBJ.

ed with the "rappings;" lie, them solve the
question In regard to the Presidency, and we
shall never more calculate "stop dat knock

Much and fierce opposition is expected to
the bill III aid of the several lines of ocean
steamers. +. X. Collins is again in Washing
ton, looking after the interests of his line,
which, of all others, should receive liberal en-
couragement from the government. To the
enterprise and daring of Mr.. Collins is our ma
lion indebted for the peerless position she oc-
cupies in reference to oceanic steam naviga-
ton. Has such a man no claims upon the
American people?
1t is to be hoped that Congress will see the
wisdom and policy of granting the required
aid. Ultimately, steamers for war purposes,
must supercede sailing vessels; and, il the best
interests of the country are consulted Congress
would extend to this magnificent line liberal
support.
The latest candidate announced for the ono.
mination" is Howell Cobb, of Georgia The
number now is somewhat less than hundred:
but, how many there are who absolutely expect
to receive the nomination-this dep0nent saith
not. HENRICo.

A correspondent Of the editor of the Nation
Louis Napoleon, writes of him in q private
letter: ellis most remarkable features are his
eyes. Around them are many curious lines,
indicative almost of cunning: They are of no
particular color, are almost vacant of specula-
ton, and those who know him best represen ut
him as the most mpenetrable of men; the great
Hobbs himself could not unlock him."

sums of money for the foreign made silks
which they wear. 1t is stated in Hunts Mer-
chants Magazine for FEBRUARY that the amount
of silks passed into consumption at the port
of New York alone, for the twelve months end
ing December last, was $23,4S6.456. What
the amounts may have been at other ports we
can only conjecture. as no returns have been
published. We will assume them to DE So
100000; and this gives us the enormous amount
of 26.4S6, 456 for one years cost of foreign

On motion of Mi. Leake, the bill providing

and compensation OF Commissioners, and CIV
ing to the County Courts the power Of rear
ranging said districts and changing the places

Mr.. Taliaferfo Withdrew an amendment
which he had previously offered, and offered
in its place the following, as substitute for
the 9TH section of the bill
"The County Courts of the several counties
| of this Commonwealth, hereafter to be elected,
shall have power at the term at which the
county taxes are assessed, to re-arrange the
| districts and change the places for holding
| elections: Pr0rided, that two thirds Of all

| holding ell ctions shall not be more than two
| in each district, and the names of all the JUS
! tees voting for or against such change shall
| be entered as matter ofrec cord"
| After various amendments had been offered,
| some of which were adopted, the said 4th sec
| ton assumed the following form:
"The County Courts Of the counties Of the
| Commonwealth, to be hereafter elected, shall

Jim Price, was, yesterday, ordered by the May
or five lashes.
Rose, slave to J. D. Webster, taken up on Thurs
day evening, on suspicion of stealing quantity Of
provisions found in her possession, was yester-
day discharged the charge not being sustained.
THREArENING.-An overseer in Mr. Hamptons
tobacco-tactory preferred charge of threatening,
yesterday, against Ben, negro hand of Mr.. HIS.
1t appears that on Wednesday, when Cook rebuked
Ben forincorrect work, Ben answered him in avery
insulting mannei; Cook referred the matter to Mr..
Hampton, aud requested authority to correct the
negro. While converting with Mr.. H. about the
negro, Ben again commenced using Insulting Ian
guage towards Cook, whereupoa Cook struck at
the negro, who picked up two-pound iron weight
to throw at Cook; but Mr.. Hampton interfering,
stopped the difficulty; Mr.. G. then stated to Mr.. ii.
that the nego must be corrected. Thursday morn
ing, the negro again acted in a very suky manner,
aud upon Cooks informing Mr. II. of the matter,
and requesting permission to correct the negro, Mr.
H. told Cook that as he was in passion he had
better wait until he became cool before he whipped
the negro; and, furthermore, that the negroes
generally had antipathy against him, he had
better leave the establishment, he would get in.
to some serious difficulty with the negroes. Cook
accordingly left. The complaint was made by Cook
for the purpose OF having the negro punished FOR
his insulting action. The Mayor ordered Ben ten
la.hcs.
We have only to say that, taking into considera.
ton the recent death OF most cstitnable young
man, gro wing out of the characterization of fscto
ny hand, we think that full protection should be
guaranteed to the overseers in the derc mt tobacco
factories by law, against the attacks of turbulent
hands, If negro is to be discharged with the trivial
punishment often lashes, when il is clearly proven
that he used insulting language towards his super
intendant, in the discharge of his duty, and then
seizei a missile of iron. with which death could
have been inflicted, for the purpose of throwing at
that superintendent, then, indeed is the life of an
overseer and white man at the mercy OF parcel
OF turbulent black rufans, to be granted at their
discretion. We do not sympathiz7 with the unjust
orcruel overseer.-We abhor tyrant in any FORM
But we heard nothing in the testimony of Mr.
Cook, or OF Mr.. Hampton, on ssterdsy to prove
that Mr.. G. belonged to that class; and therefore,
as an example, and very necessary one, too, at
this time, the negro merited backw ar;ning such
as would have lasted hun for year to come.
