Site Of Ancient Nineveh.

1t would appear from existing monuments that
the city was originally founded OIL the spot now
occupied by the ruins of Nimrod. No better
position could be chosen than the Delta formed
by the junction of two large rivers, the Tigrs
and the Zab The N. w. palace was tho first
bnt; successive monarchs added the centre
palace, and other edi6ces which rose by its side.
As the population increased and conqured ma.
tions were brought, like the people of Samaria,
from disant lands, and settled round the Assyriaa
capital, the dimensions OF the city increased
also, king founding a new dynasty, or anx
ious to perpetuate his name, and to record his
conquests, chose Il new site for the erection Of
palace. The city, gradually spreading, at
length embraced all the buildings. Thus MIN
rod represents the original site of Nineveh, The
son of the builder of the Oldest palace, found.
| cd a new edfce at Baashekhab At a much
ater period subsequent monarchs erected their
temple palaces at Korsabad and Kouyunjik -
| Their descendants returned to Nimroud, the
principal buildings of which had been allowed
to fall to decay, and probably were already con-
cealed by mass of ruins and rubbish. The
city had now attained the dimensions assigned
to it bv the Greek geographers, and by the sa
cred writings. Tho numerous royal residences
auvrounded by gardena and parls1, aud inoloSed
by fortified walls, each being a seperate quarter
known by different name, formed together the
great CITY Of Nineveh.

inhabitants of the country, and like them con

A Wonderful Comet.

There is a comet which requires $40
years to make its revolution in its very optical
orbit round the sun The first account of its ap.

Che GamtIp Circle.

A good action is its own reward.
Hasty climbers have sudden folls.
Attempt not to fly like un eagle with the
wings of a wren.
Do good with what thou hast, or it will do
thee no good.
A punctual man can always find leisure, o
negligent one never.
To think that an eternity of bliss depends
upon the purity Of few years of earthly exist
ence, is an overwhelming thought. How grea
is the inducement to study truth, and cutivat'
virtue.

THE HAND.-Many people, especially ladies
and lady.like young men, seem to consider a
small hand as very desirable thing, and as in a
measure establishing their claims TO gentiity,
and high rank in the scale of humanity Now
one distinguishing Characteristic OF the white
race of Europe from whom the people of our
own country have sprung, is large hand, as
compared with the inferorraces OF Asia, Africa,
&c, A large hand is therefore, In degree, an
index of great qualities, capacity for great phys
ical and mental effort; in short of large cali
bre. When, therefore, person appears to be
proud of small, delicate hand, it may be set
down os indicating that such person comes Of a
degenerate stock, or has the blood of an inferior
race in his veins. We never heard of but one
great man with little hand that was Bona

HYMN.

The following nocie effasson sungat'he
ebration of the kidnapping Of Sims at Bost
on the 10th inst while it incites the bosom
the patriot almost to madness, conveys to We
ster and his apostate fellow statesmen Of
North, one of the most scathlng rebukes Il
ever came from the lips of mortal man. Ed.
Souls of tho patriot dead,
On Bunker's height who bed!
The pile that stands
On your long buried bones
These monumental stones
Should not suppress the groans
This day demands.
For Freedom there ye stood
There gave the earth your blood
There found your graves;
That men of every cline,
Faith, color, tongue, and time,
Might, through your death sublime,
Never be slaves.
Over your bed, 80 low,
Heard We not, long ago,
A voice of power,
Proclaim to earth and sea,
That, where ye Sleep should be,
A home for Liberty
Till Times last hour?
Hear ye tile chains of slaves,
Now clankng round your graves?
Hear We the sound
OF that voice, that calls
From out our Senate halls,
" Huut down those fleeing thralls,
With horse and hound"
Thar voice your sons hath swayed
'Tis heard and is obeyed
This gloomy day
Tells you of ermine stained,
Of JUSTICE name profaned.
or poor 6ondman, chained
And borne away.
Over ViIginia's springs,
Her eagles spread their wings;
Her Blue Ridge towers
That voice-once heard with awe
Now asks: Who ever saw,
Up here, higher law
Than this of ours?
Must we obey that voice
When God or mans the choice,
Must we POSTPONE
HIM, who from Sinai spoke!
Must we wear slavery's yoke3
Bear of her lash the stroke,
And piop her throne
Loasbed with her hounds, must we
Ran down the poor, who fee
From Slavery's hell?
Great God when We do this,
Exclude us from thy bliss
At us lie: angels hiss,
From heaven that fell.

Personal Explanation

The statement made by my colleague ex.
plains the silence Of the Southern Press on the
subject Of the Democratic nominations. That
silence has been protracted far longer than was
agreeable 10 either Of us, since we never have
been accustomed 10 conceal our opinions on any
subject Of public interest. In this case, We have
only consented to waive their expression, for a
time, IN order 10 allow parties interested to re.
lieve US, and themselves, from a most painful
and embarrassing position. Selfrespect will moi
admit Of our keeping silence longer. II is out
right and our duty now TO speak.
FL two years past, since the establishment
OF this paper, it has been under the conduct and
control Of Mr.. rrsHER and myself; and during
the whole OF our connection no serious differ
ence Of sentiment has ever before arisen be
tween us Oar difference NV, las regard IT,
turns on question Of policy, no. Of principle
for the principles we have ever aveved and
maintained are still entertained by us 10th
Those principles neither Of US can or would
change; and we can look back with equal prid,
snd pleasure on the record Of our labors which
the Southern Press bears and will perpetuats
as the fruit Of two years earnest labor.
The question which divides us now is, whether
the Southern Press should lend its aid and in.
fuence to the support Of PIERCE and KNe, OF
stand neutral 10 the Presidential contest My
colleague is in favor Of the latter course--my own
judgment has led me 10 prefer the former. Bat
