Presidency Of the Railroad.

Mr.. Editor Gen. Clay having resigned
tho office of President of the Virginia and len
nessee Railroad Company, the undersigned
would present to the Stockholders Col. c. F.
NJ. GARNETT, the Chief Engineer OF the said
Company as his successor. will not under
take to speak Of the qualifications Of this gen.
teman forthe position. He is known TO possess
every requisite in an eminent degree, and the
office of President and Chief Engineer, if am
not mistaken, have been often filled by the same
individual, in works like ours, TO their profit.
Not only will the Company receive the ser
vices of gentleman OF fine qualifications for Its
chief office, but it will be more economical, as
there would be no enlargement of his salary,
which would save annually to the treasury Of
the Company two thousand dollars, and, in the
opinion Of the undersigned, the appointment
would result in permanent good to the work.

So that in any and in every respect. Pennsyl.
vania stands true to her original position, and
cannot be shaken in her fidelity For nearly
twenty years Winfield Scott has been her first
choice; and the expression of the ballot box
on the I'd of November will prove that, as her
zeal has mol abaled, neither Las her affection
wavered.
Thus the three greai States may be regarded
as heading The Scott column. There are tens
thousands of rejecting and intelligent Demo
Gratis throughout the Union who will silently
record their suflragcs for Gen. Scou-men Who
do not desire to war openly with their party
but who anticipate the terrible consequences
TINT would ensue from The election of a mere
politieian like Gen. Pierce, surrounded, as he
would be by Abolitionists and conspiring agi-
tators. who would provoke war and again peril
the peace and stability of the Union. Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut
will speak. as they have always done before,
for New England; and we should not be sur
prised If Tho voice of Maine was added to the
chorus; Delaware, Mary North Carolina,
X kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, and most
probably Florida, will represent The electoral
College in the Slaveholdng States; and if Eas
tern Virginia should do as well for Gen.
Scott as il did for Mr. Summers at the las
canvass. even the Old Dominion
will be found in line. New Jersey has shaken
off her lethargy and is now reused. All the
reliable accounts from California agree in con.
ceding the Pacific vote TO Scott. and the North
Western States give promise Of u result which
will confound our opponents.
We have thus sketched brief outline of the
canvass and its condition at the present time.
If the Wings exert themselves, as all the signs
now Indicate they will do, they will elect Gen.
Scott trlumphanlly. and perpetuate Their prln-
ciples. They will do more, for they will save
tho country from thedanger ofanolher section
all controversy, with all its horrors, and from
foreign war, with its attending calamities

The Last Resting Place and the Last
DAYS Of WIZ. Webster.

From an editorial article in the Boston Cour.
Ter, written before the death of Mr.. Webster,
we make the following extract. 1t possesses
deeper and more mournful interest, now tina,
the event ,only apprehendcd then,has become a
solemn reality:
"'The farm at Marshfed is worthy to be
the resting place of its iustrious owner. Ii
is shielded, by n range Of beautiful hills, from
the violence of our northeasterly storms; it has
a distant view of the ocean beyond the low
land which every tide overhows; on one side
wooded promontory luts into the sea, and on
the other rises a sloping highland, on the brow
of which, in the deep repose of nature, his kin.
dred rest in their long sleep, with no sounds
above or around them but the murmurs of the
wind through the foliage of the dropping trees
or the songs of birds, or the solemn voice of
the sea speaking eternaly from lis vast depths;
the undulating surface sweeps up from the
marshes, and forms tabeland on which the
house stands, then gently falls into a smooth
and spreading lawn, then, by deeper slope, il
ascends to the western range Of hills, which on
that side shut in the picture, and bound scene
of harmonious, yet rchIy-varied and sweetly
contrasted beauty.
"Here, but a few weeks since, Mr.. Webster
was accustomed to drive the transient guest
over his estate visiting the fields, his ocean
Shore his focks, and his herds; pointing out the
prospect, and speaking with tender emotion OF
the sad and happy memories the varied views
recaled conversing with the rustic neighbors
whom he CHANGED to meet in kind and genial
tones, and on subjects which he and they un.
derstood alike; uttering from time to time glo.
rious thoughts suggested by the scene, in Ian
guage Of massive beauty and grandeur, which

stones which from the peculiar nature OF

up and throw them over into the pasture
across the way. He soon got tired of
picking them up one by one, and sat
down upon the bank to try TO devise some
Better means Of accomplishing his work !;

Old Fashion.

1t is curious fact, worthy mentioning
that among the relics of art disinterred
by Layard from the ruins Of Nineveh
NAV be seen various ornamental devices
exactly like some of the fashions of oul
own day. Among the rings and brace
lets, for instance, of which Layard made
excellent drawings, may be seen patterns
which look as if manufactured from the
design o! London and Paris jewellers o
the present day. In one of the engIa'
wings of Layard's researches, we have a
drawing Of a horseman with his riding
whip, the handle of which is gazelle's
foot, exactly like the present fashion as
it is frequently seen in the finish of hun
ting whips. Verify, there is nothing new
under the sun, lelegraphs and steam en-
gines excepted.

The Harvest Hymn.

God of the rolling year to Thee
sela Our songs shall rise--whose bounty pours
In many goodly gift, with free
And liberal hand our autumn stores'
No firstlings of our flock We SAY
No soaring clouds Of incense rise
But on Tbv hallowed shrine we lay
Our grateful hearts in sacrlhce.
Rorne on thy breath, the lap of Spring
Was heaped with many blooming flower
And smiling Summer joyed to bring .
The sunshine and the gentle shower;
And Autumn's rich luxuriance now,
The ripening seed-the bursting shell,
The golden sheaf, and laden Dough,
The fulness of Thy bounty tell.
No mental throng, in princely dome,
Here wait titled lords behest,
But many fair and peaceful home
Hath won thy peaceful dove aguest;
No groves of palm our fields adorn-
No myrtle shades or orange bowers
But rustling meads of golden corn'
-. And fields of waving grain are ours.
Safe in thy care, the landscape Ger,
Our focks and here's securely stray;
No tyrant master claims our store
No ruthless robbcr rends away
No fierce valcano's whitening shower
No fell simeon, with poisonous breath
Nor burning suns, with baleful power.
Awake the fiery plaques OF death.
And here shall Use our song to Thee,
Where heightened wales and pastures lie,
And streams go singing. wild and free,
Beneath blue and smiling sky,
Where ne'er was reared a mortal throne,
Where crowned oppressors never trod;
Here, at the throne of Heaven along,
Shall man in reverence bow TO God.

Autumn Thoughts.
BY ]. G.. WHITTIER.

Gone hath the Spring, with all its flowers,
And gone the Summers pomp and show,
And Autumn, in his leafless bowers,
Is waiting for the Winters snow.
l said to Garth, so cold and gray,
IAN emblem of myself thou art;
"Not so,'' the earth did seem to say,
For Spring will warm my frozen heart.
l soothe my wintry sleep with dreams
OF warmer sun and softer rain,
And wait to hear the sound of streams,
And songs of merry birds again.
But thou from whom the Spring hath gone,
For whom the flowers no longer blow,
Who standest blighted and forlorn.
Like Autumn waiting for the snow:
No hope of thine of SUMMER hours,
Thy Winter shall no more depart;
No Spring revive thy wasted flowers,
Nor Summer warm my frozen heart"
