who is ready Mt any moment to die for his country

"The bearer, MIR. Martin Van Buren, Phips is
an applicant for some easy office, and am ha ppy
to say, is an out-and-out Democrat. He voted
for Van Buren, in 40, for Polk in IA, and in '4S,
being somewhat puzzled with the claims of the
contending factions, polled two votes one for Van
Buren, and one for Mr.. Cass, evincing spirit of
cancellation and heightened principle which puts
to the blush all other compromise measures Mr.
Phips, can truly say, is active energetic, and
industrious Democrat, but is unable to discharge
very many outdoor duties, as he is suffering I'M

From the .lleraadria Gazette.
The Wing party have now in their ranks, not
withstanding the ravages Of death, so fatal to
them in the last few years, several distinguished
statesmen whose fame is national, and whose
talents, requirements, and experience entitle then,
to the most respectful attention and hndest re-
CARDS of their political brethren Among these
we may, without being invidious, or depreciating
in the least others whose names rise up before us,
mention Edward Everett, of Massachusetts,, and
William c. Riyes, of Virginia These gentlemen
are both an honor to their country and their party
As safe counsellors, there are men in the Uni
ted States more worthy to be trusted. Highly
educated, and with fine natural abilities, they en-
tered public life to perform the parts Of statesmen
and not mere party politicians They have been
students ever since-students of men, of events, Of
the political history of their own country, and Of
the nations abroad. They are now ripe with the
wisdom which knowledge and experience give to
intellect, and imbued with the patriotism which
springs from conviction of the superiority of the
institutions of their own land those of foreign
countries. They have mingled with mankind a,
home and abroad, and are now at their own resi-
dences, satisfied that here is their highest earthly
happiness, and the grandest theatre for the exer-
tons of the mind of man. ~
Mr.. Rives and Mr. Everett, although cultiva-
ted in their intellects, are yet PRACTICAL strong
minded men. All their public speeches show
that ornament with them is secondary to sub
stance. The graces of oratory do not detract
from the strength of their arguments. The Co
rinthian column is not the less solid and firm be-
cause its proportions are perfect and its capita
crowned with the beauty Of art.
We class MIR. Everett and MIR. Rives together
because we think in many traits they are not dis
similar. Of high characters, of dignifed man
ners, of conservative but not repressire views, O
diplomatic experience, and of approved judg
ment, they are alike. They are both accomplish
ed speakers, polished writers, and courteous de-
baters. We repeat that their party and thei
country may well be proud of two such states

SuB-MARINE BIAsrMc.-The New Haven
Courier of the 18th July says:
''We were yesterday afternoon afforded an OPP
portunity by Monsieur Maillefert to witness his
process of submarine blasting, by which he has
removed the dangerous Pot Rock from He'll Gate,
and which he is now using, under the authority
of the General Government, upon some of the
rocks in our harbor. The place of his operations
yesterday was what is called Middle Rock, about
a mile south of our lighthouse, where he fired
twelve charges in rapid succession, reducing the
height of the rock about foot. The charges
of about one hundred and twenty-five pounds OF
powder are contained in canisters, and are sunk
to the rock from boat. Connected with the can
lister is a wire leading to the boat and of suffi-
Gent length to allow it to be rowed beyond the
effects of the explosions When at a sufficient
distance galvanic battery is applied, and the OK
pfosion takes place, throwing up a magnificent
column of water some one hundred and fifty feet
in height, and accompanied by two distinct re-
ports like the noise of cannon The effect O,
such water-spout is most beautiful, resembling
vast fountain suddenly thrown up, and almost
as suddenly melting away int spray. The ope
rations yesterday were very successful. Indeed
Monsieur Maillefert has fully demonstrated the
practicability of his method of removing sunker
rocks, and deserves all the encouragement tho
Government is able to afford him. We under
stand he will continue his blasting every day al
high tide. Tomorrow he will commence al
three O'Clock, and on Wednesday at four D. m
Persons who visit the place will be we'll rewarded
for their trouble. We were indebted to Monsieur
Malefert for continual courtesies extended to us
during our visit, for which we return him our
thanks"

authentic. The Emperor Of Russia has de-
termined on avenging the insult offered him by
the Sublime Porte, who refused to accede to
his well-known demands; and the work of me-
diation must be promptly commenced to arrest
him in his ire. The present indications por-
tend war Of a sanguinary character.

SIGNAL ORDERS ON SInrBoARD.-English pa
pers describe an important innovation in the man
agement of the new and gigantic screw three
decker, the Duke of Wellington. The introduce
ton of telegraphic communication from the
poop to the enginc-room has allowed the usual
commands of ''stop her, ""ease her, "'sgo ahead F"
Sc, to be dispensed with. An index of figures is
placed on the top rail of tho poop, and, being al
ways stationed there, the master is enabled to
work his orders to the cngine-room silently and
effectively. This valuable improvement origin
ated with Captain Crispn, who has applied it to
practical purposes OH board the royal yacht Vic
toria and Albert
