An a MluCsty Hero.

We never saw people, says the Rich
mond Wing, show such penchant for
Heroes as the self-Styled Democracy. At
the Baltimore Convention six or seven
of their most prominent candidates were
titular Generals. There was General
Butler, General Houston, General Lane,
General Wool, General Pillow, General
Cass, and General Pierce-ail put to-
gether not equal to one real Generdl;-
but the Democracy went for them with
rush, and chose the most illustrous of
them all for their standard bearer. As
soon as the nominatan was made, he
was proclaimed conqueror of Mexico
the mighty Hero of the glorious battle
at the National Bridge--the stormer of
Contreras the God of war upon the
field OF Churubusco. But after little
while the documents were explored, and
it was ascertained that, by his own show
ing, as well as that Of the General-In-
Chief and the Generals of Divisions, he
nerer ras under fire during the whole
campaign. When these development
were made, the Democracy began to
draw in their horns, and protest that
they did not run Pierce as a Generot-
Oh! no! they had no thought Of such a
thIns-it was his rare accomplishments
as a statesman that endeared him to
their hearts. But his career as a civili-
an being explored, and being found as
barren of usefulness as his military
career was of glory, they have begun to
fall back upon his imaginary gun-pow-
per reputation, and again he looms as
Hero. Some of the leading Democratic
papers, which fer months past, were
content with the title Of plain Mister
Pierce, have again dignitied him with
the appellatlon of General.

Unity would be destroyed--i,s simplicity and

lutcd by the lavish expenditures Of money upon
this peculiar beautiful Mount. Let nature the
only fit Representatives of her own son--in her
silent sweetness lend her charm OF cnclantment

Mr.. EpIToR:-I visited to-day that sacred
spot, once the residence now the slumbering
place OF him whose ma.ims are the nation g
watrhwords- whose examples her guidance,
as truly as were his efforts her delverance. At
8 O'Clock A. NJ, we left the Washington whalf,
touched few moments at Alexandria, an old
compact, well built city of some 10000 inhab-
itants. The trade of the place is brisk-the
citizens generally hosptable and wealthy; leav-
ing Alexandra we soon arrived at Fort Wash
inglon; of which have spoken in former let
ter and now give u brief description of it. II is
on the Maryland side, Is miles below Washing
ton and four above Mt. Vernon. The rise
from the landing is Il moderate ascent some 100
yards from the shore, where terraces have been
formed, through the bank of which you pass by
flight Of stone steps, to the base OF the wall
where you again have to pass up another sett OF
steps to the summit of the work. The terrace
is 40 feet high, from the outer edge OF it 10 the
WALL and is prepared to mount sixty "a pound
cannon within the wallis besides guns for shell.
So far as we can Judge all the requisite al range
ments are there TO perform prompt and efficient
service at the shortest possible notice.
Major Scott is the officer at present in COM
mand at the Fort. Leaving Fort Washington,
proceeded directly TO the home of the living
dead. A wharf has been erected at the shore
from which a plank walk leads up through a
grove of dwarfish growth to "The Tomb"
This is substantial brick some 30 feet in
length. The front part is about IL feet in length
and is separated from the inner vault by BRICK
walt, wherein | am informed the remains Of
some of the Washington family are placed. The
Utmost vault is square; the first or front is an
arch, into which we look through Two iron-bar
doors al two Sarcophasuses, resting on brick
mason work, and which encase General and Mrs.
Washington's remains. These monuments are
erected near the tomb, one to Bushrod Wash
ington, nephew and lneal heir OF Cen Wash
ineton, one TO Mrs. M. T.. Conrad and one to
John Augustine, son of Corbn and H. Lee
Washington, and nephew of Judge Bushrod
Washington. OF the visitors, all took from
within the Tomb pebble, to carry to their
homes in New York, Georgia, and elsewhere.
The lane leading to the old mansion is much out
of repair; the house bears the marks of Tines
tooth and the out-buildings, generally, look
much dilapidated.
The visitors were allowed admission into the
two north rooms on the first floor and through

NoToRlETY, or publicity, is an indis-
pensahle element of success to the me-
chanic or manufacturer, who would give
speedy and wide distribution to the
commodities and productions which he
seeks to exchange for money. He may
have capital, skill, convenient position,
punctuality, industry and honesty-ev-
cry possible fitness for his business-and
all is nothing if he have not sufficient
notoriety. This notoriety, let it cost
more or less, he must purchase or provide
tor as carefully as he purchases or man
ufactures his stock OF goods. And it
mLs, in extent, bear certain relation
to the business he would do. 1t must
be both positive and comparative. Peo-
pie must not only know him and his
business because otherwise they will not
find him, but they must know him be-
cause otherwise they wW find and trade
with those who are better known. Gus
toners, like sheep, are gregarous, and
flock, where they see others i1ocking. If
nobody else were engaged in the same
business, it would be important for our
dealer to advertise in the newspapers,
because people are tempted to buy what
they read of. 1t is like having a sales
man with several thousands of voices,
speaking politely Of your wares to tens
Of thousands of people, perhaps at the
same moment, never offending, never
obtrusive, never tired = such salesman
might be worth one, two, three, or five
thousand dollars year TO you, accord
ing to the number of his voices, might
he not!
But if Others nre engaged in the same
business, even if they do not advertise,
IT becomes the more important for our
dealer to do so, and if they.do advertise,
it becomes doubly important. 1t be-
comes, in fact, ruin not to be known as
extensively as his rivals, as it is the
hood-tide Of fortune to be known more
extensively.

Scott as am Orator.

A Washington correspondent of the
N. Y. Times, alludes as follows, to Gen.
SCOTS speeches in the West, and to
his chances of success:
"The fame of Gen. Scorr, as an ora
tor, seems destined to eclipse, if that be
possible, his renown as soldier. Who
can point to speech by WEBSTER,
FISHER AMEs, PATRICK HENRY or Writ,
which contains more true eloquence,
more sound, convincing argument, than
the Generals remarks, brief as they
were, at Columbus, on the charge of
cruelty to Germans! How fall to the
ground, one after another, all these as.
PERSONS upon the old hero! He could
not write, he could not speak; he could
do nothing but fight. Now detractlon
hides its head before the thunders of the
peoples applause.
How changed the scene! One short
month ago, Democrats were found fool
hardy enough to bet that Vermont
alone would go for ScoTT. Then Scorr
would not get Slave State. Now the
question begins to be somewhat anxious
ly agitated among them, what State is
PIERCE sure of Where can we inter-
nit eXertions in order to concentrate
ourselves upon the States most in dan

gins to be very doubtful whether PIERCE

LAUGHABLE OCCURRENCE AT CoNcoRD.
"A correspondent Of the CovIngton
Journal tells the following "goodu
We wonder if this ''incident' is related
in Hawthorne's new novel, the Life
and Paintings of Mr. Franklin Pierce:"
"a Iaughable affair came oil in Con-
cord, New Hampshire, the residence of
General Franklin Pierce, some few
weeks otter his nomination for the Pres
idency. If you think the following ac-
count Of it worthy Of place in your
paper, please insert it.
At one of the churches in Concord,
where Gen. Pierce usually attended pub
lie worship OF the Sabbath, the clergy
man commenced the morning service by
reading a hymn from Watts selections,
and while reading the following line
THE fearful soul that tires and ,tnints"
his eye happened to fall on the pew
where sat Frank Pierce. In a moment,
all eyes We're turned in the same direc-
ton, and Gen. Pierce was pterced by SO
many piercing eyes, that he came very
near tanting. After the morning SER
vice was closed, several of the political
friends OF Gen. Pierce sought and OBJ
tanned an interview with said clergy
man, who, by the way, is Wing, and
by name John Scott.
During this interview the clergyman
was accused Of Intentionally directing
the minds and eyes of his congregation
towards Gen. Pierce's pew; but the
clergyman assured them that they were
mistaken; that it was mere casual
glance of the eve, while reading said
line. Pierce'S friends were not salts
fled with this explanation; and during
the ensuing week there was great COM
motion IN Concord and throng bout all
the region round about On the Sat
urday following, Plerce's friends, who
were members of Mr.. SCOTS church,
called church meeting and proposed
to dismiss their Pastor-whereupon a
vote was taken by ballot, and resulted
as follows, to wit: For retaining the
Rev. MIR. Scott as Pastor Of the church,
~; for dsmissing him, a; blank =.
When the result of the balloting was
made known, one Of the Jealous friends
of Rev. Mr.. Scott sang out-'Hurra for
Scott = Another, probably assoc iating
this hurra for Rev. Mr.. Scott with the
idea of the coming Presidential cleo.
ton, proposed nine cheers for Scott and
Graham, which were heartily given,
when the church meeting adjourned
without delay"
