NATIONAL DEFENCEs,

The October number of the Edinburgh Re
rieo contains an able and elaborate article on
the subject of national defences. 1t is full of
statistical information, and of solid and well con-
sidered arguments.
1t will not be long, perhaps, before the same
subject will have to be considered in this coun-
try. We therefore extract from the Rerie,o the
paragraph that serves as an introduction to the
article. In most respects it is applicable to our
country-in other respects it is not. 1t is as
follows:
We confess that we have always been totally
unable to comprehend the principle on which
certain persons have objected to any outlay for
perfecting such defensive system as should
not only place this country in posture of secu-
rity against possible attack by foreign powers,
but also remove the temptation offered by the
state of weakness into which our delences have
fallen during a long peace. No man would
neglect to insure his warehouse or his ricks,
because his neighbors declared that they were
animated by the most friendly feelings towards
him, and had no intention of applying the torch
to his property. National defence is national
insurance and we do not think any govern
ment can maintain character for prudence
that neglects to complete the insurance of this
country against aggression, although we may
not only continue to receive the most pacific
assurances from foreign governments, but even
give them the fullest credit for sincerity in their
professions"
Washington sentinel., 1853-12-08

views of this strange tale of woe and crime is,
that the wife was sold by the husband, and
forced TO live in immoral associations, for the
purpose OF feeding his licentious wants and dis
sipation, and therefore the singularity of the
sudden madness, under the instigation of which
he put her to death, and affected justification
in letters written under the impression that he
would destroy himself as we'll as his long-de.
lnded wife, duplicating others, but chiefly the
party have named. As to being the cause OF
death, or cause of jealousy, that would be inn
possible, for all the crime committed by the
lady was of his own initiation, and by his ex.
press commands, and for which he took always
immediate possession of the compensation
made to the victim of his foul and demon pas
sions. There are thousand stories in connec-
ton with this crime, which are too offensive for
repetition; but it has cast gloom and shadow
over every circle of the community for the hour,
owing to the reputation and talents of the lady
as actress, she being great favorite with
our theatre-going public, and crowds of people,
with sorrow-stricken hearts, followed her re-
mains to their resting place.
The husband lives to expiate this offence,
and thousand crimes of deepest dye at the
garote, which viii have to hang upon the war.

MIDNIGHT WEDDING.--The Boston Herald
relates this romantic incident which occurred in
that city, last week:
young and talented Episcopal clergyman Of
Montreal was waiting in Boston for the arrival
of his betrothed from England, in the steamer
Niagara, and had made arrangements to have
the matrimonial knot tied without delay The
steamer did not come until eleven o'clock in the
evening, and the lovers, who had not seen each
other for three years, repaired to the church Of
the Advent, in Green street, as soon as practica.
ble.. The sexton hghed couple of tapers, the
bishop, dressedinhis canonicals, came in, and the
ceremony was performed in the presence of the
sexton and the superintendent of the Revere
House, who gave away the bride. The twain
where made one flesh Just as the clock struck IL.
Il was an impressive scene--the dimly lighted.
church, the trusting bride, who had a few min
utes before arrived alone in n strange land, at
midnight, was pronouncing those solemn vows
which were to place her under the protection Of
her only friend on this side of the Atlantic.

MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR JOHNSON OF
VIRGINIA.

The message of the Governor of Virginia to
the legislature of that State crowds the col
umns of the Richmond papers. The necessity
of devoting our attention, at this time, almost
exclusively to national affairs has thus far de-
MED us the opportunity Of reading, as carefully
as we desire to do, the message of the chief
magistrate of the "Old Dominion" We have
only glanced over it. Our attention, however,
was arrested by one paragraph, which gave us
great pleasure, and which we propose to make
the subject of few comments. 1t as fol
lows:
Finally, ] congratulate you upon the con.
dition of our federal and foreign relations-noth'
ing having occurred since your adjournment
calculated to weaken the hope that the south
may be permitted to enjoy season of repose
| from the irritating interference by northern Ia
naticism with the subject of slavery Every
| friend of this Union has cause of congratulation
at the overthrow and signal rebuke the aboli.
ton party has received within the last two years.
The friends of constitutional and State rights,
even in the north, have generally been triumph
antly sustained. Our northern brethren, among
whom there have always been few who were
true TO the Constitution, have indicated a dis
! position to respect our rights, and evinced a
sense ofjustice which should ever characterize
the relations between citizens of sister States.
Madness for while seemed to run riot, and
when fanaticism had brought the republic to
the verge of ruin, patriotism was aroused reason
and Justice gained the ascendant, and the traitor
and the demagogue, whether sailing under the
name Of abolition or freesoilism, has been put
down--peace and quiet has been restored
confidence has taken the place of distrust, and
with rapid strides we are marching to fulfil that
destiny which has assigned to us the position
of the greatest nation upon earth. May this
ever be our condition"
This we take to be an official and authorita
tive exposition of the public sentiment of vir
gjnia in relation to the questions at issue be
tween the honest constitutional democrats and
the reckless and disorganizing freesoilers Of
the north. This we take TO be an expression

of the sympathy of Virginia in behalf Of that
noble band headed by Dickinson, who have
devoted their lives and all their powers to the
expurgation of the northern democracy from
the taint of freesoilism and abolitionism. This
we take to be a censure and condemnation
of those who, like the Van Burens, have sought
first to entice, by ingenious Establishments, and
then to drive by force the honest constitutional
democrats of the north into the embraces of
the enemies of the Constitution and the country.
Governor Johnson says: "The friends of
constitutional and state rights, even in the
north, have generally been triumphantly sus-
tanned"
The question arises, who are the friends of
constitutional and State rights?" Are the free
soilers? Are the softs? Are the Van Burens
and their aiders, abettors and sympathizers? !?
We should deplore that as the blacklist day
in our annals, when southern State and
southern governor and southern politicians
should lend their sanction and their influences
to freesoilers should give their countenance
their appreciation and their sympathy to fac
tious agitators.
If the south is to be betrayed, twill be by
its own sons-by ITSELF Their is large party
at the north true to the Constitution to
the rights of every section. They are willing
and waiting to act with the south. If the south
spurns their profers and despises their aid,
then indeed-in the day Of extremity--in the
hour Of need-will she find herself left single
handed and alone to fight her own battles and
the battles of the Constitution

The CINCINNATI PRINTERs.-The telegraph
has already announced that strike had re.
Gently taken place at Cincinnati, for higher
prices, and for rules adopted by the Printers
Union, for the management of the offices. The
proprietors of the papers all agreed to give
the prices, but some refused to give up the
control and management of their Offices to the
society; and the Gazette, Columbian, and two
other papers were consequently left without
hands. Of the subsequent proceedings Of the
strikers, the following advertisement, in the
Gazette Of Monday last, speaks for itself:
One HUNDRED DOLLARS REwARD-We will
pay one hundred dollars for such information
as will lead to the detection and conviction of
the person or persons who cut the hoisting rope
of our forms, and thereby caused great loss and
endangered the lives of our hands
Twenty-Five dollars will be paid for such in.
formation as will lead to the detection and con.
viction ofthe persons who assaulted the carriers
of our paper.
twenty-five dollars will be paid for the names
of the persons engaged in enticing away the
apprentices and employees Of our Office.
To those desiring employment in our compo-
sition and press-room, and who are ready to
make their own arrangements, VIC will pay q
fair compensation.
An article accompanying this advertisement,
says that some Of the carriers Of the Gazette
had been robbed Of their papers, and two Of
them were thrown into the canal. The form
that fell through from the fifth to the first story
of the building, although endangering the lives
of the hands, did not break. The Gazette con-
cludes by declaring its determination to stand
hereafter, wholly independent Of the Printers
Union.

CONGRESS YESTERDAY.

In the Senate various bills were introduced,
and several resolutions adopted.

The Senate elected Rev. Henry Sheer its
chaplain.
The House of Representatives elected Gen.
eral Armstrong its printer, and Rev. VIM. H.
Milburn its chaplain.

PUBLIC PRINTING.

In connexion with others, we were yesterday
nominated in the House of Representatives for
public printer. We did not know, until after
the election, by whom we were to be nominated
or by whom supported. We had formed no
aliances-no coalitions-n corrupt bargains.
! We were beaten. The majority of the House
so willed it. We submit We have fought for
the truth. We have battled for good honest
old fashioned constitutional and democratic
principles. We shall continue with the same
zeal the same contest.
Whilst success would have been highly graft
flying to US, We yet do but justice to ourselves,
when we say that neither by success or failure
could the character or course of the Sentinel
be changed. We still believe that the principles
we have advocated, and mean to advocate are
the true principles of the constitutional democ-
racy, and will be so received in and out of
Congress. "Truth is mighty and will prevail"
