THE DELIGHTS OF VISITING

What is it to go away Oh a visit !: Well, it is
to take leave Of the little velvet rocking chair,
which adjusts itself so nicely to your shoulders
and spinal column; to cram, jam, squeeze, and
otherwise compress your personal effects into
an infnitessimal compass to be shook, iolted,
and tossed, by turns, in carriage, railroad car
and steamboat to be deafened with the stento-
rian lungs of ca ab-drivers, draymen and porters ;
to clutch your bagge as if every face you saw
was highwayman; (or to find yourself trans
ported with rage, at finding tt transported by
steam to Greenland or Cape Horn. 1t is to
reach your friends house, travel-stained, cold
and weary, with an unbecoming crook in your
bonnet to utterly unable to get the frost out Of
your tongue, or ' the beam into your eue," and
to have the felicity of hearing some strange
guest remark to your friend, as you say an
| early good night, Is it possible THAT is your
| friend Miss Grey"
| 1t is1to be ushered into the '' best chamber, -
| (always a north one) Of q cold January night
to unhook your dress with stitened digits tc
| find every thing in your trunk-but your night
cap; to creep between polished linen sheets, OIL
to a CONCEALED mattress, and listen TO the chat
teIing OF your own teeth until daylight.
| 1t is to talk at q mark, twelve hours on the
stretch; to eat and drink all sorts Of thing.
which disagree with you; to get up sham fits Of
| enthusiasm, at trifies; to learn to yawn crcum.
specify, behind your tinger-ti tips; to praise a
| spoiled child when you feel like wringing its
neck to avoid all allusions to topics unsuited tc
| your pro tenn. latitude; TO have somebody for
ever at your nervous elbow, trying to make yon
"enjoy yourseJ;" to laugh when you want tC
i cry; to be loquacious when you had rather be
taciturn to have mind and body in unyielding
harness, for lingering, consecutive weeks; and
then to invite your friends, with hypocritica
smile, to play the same farce over with you
whenevtr business or pleasure calls them - tt

OK Clinton, and 1t Will be put up temporarily Ia
the Park, for exhibition, on Monday next This
statue was commenced in clay, on the Goth Of
September, 1850, and was finished in bronze in
March Of 1852
The height of the figure is ten and half feet,
and that Of the base eight and half, making
the whole height from the ground just nineteen
feet. 1t weighs $500 pounds, and was cast at
Ame's foundry, at Chickopee, in Massachusetts,,
the first work Of the kind, we believe, that was
ever cas- in bronze in this country.
Mr.. Brown has succeeded, according to the
best judges, in giving most accurate portrait
Of the distinguished man he represents, both as
to his face and figure, and in making most
grand and imposing image. On the base are
two has-reliefs, descriptive Of the progress of
the Erie anal, the one showing its commence
rnent. with groups Of engineers, workmen, etc. =,
and the other its perfected operations with boats
loaded with goods and emigrants, and surround
ed by groups Of porters, negroes, indians, and
other expressive figures
This statue was prepared for the Clinton Mon
ument Association, at an expense Of fifteen
thousand dollars. 1t is designed for Greenwood
Cemetery, but will be put up in front Of the
City Hall for short time, in order TO enable the
public to see it, before it is removed to its fnsl
destination.

achieve go much honor by his fine conception and
execution Of the present work, is also engaged

HERoIsM AND CRUELTY.-A most touching
instance Of heroism, and one of the most afro
cious acts of cruelty, the truth of which is
vouched for by the most respectable authority,
occurred during the Colombian struggle for in
dependence. The Spanish General Morillo, the
most bloodthirsty and treacherous tool of the
Spanish King, who was created Count of Car
thagenia and Marquis de la Pueria, for services
which rather entitled him to the distinction of
butcher or hangman. While seated in his tent
one day, he saw a boy before him drowned in
tears The Chief demanded of him for what
purpose he was there.
The child replied that he had come to beg the
life of his father, then prisoner in Morillo's
camp.
What can you do to save your father =
asked the General
81 can do but little, hut what can shall be
done"
Morillo seized the little fellows ear, and said,
s. would you suffer your ear to be taken off to
procure your fathers liberty :"
&c certainly would, was the undaunted re-
ply.
A soldier was accordingly called, and ordered
to cut Oft the ear with single stroke Of the
knife
| The boy wept, but did not resist while the
| barbarous order was executed
| " Would you lose your other ear rather than
fail Of your purpose :" was the next question.
| 81 have suffered much, but for my father |
can suffer still T. was the heroic answer of the
| boy.
The other ear was taken off piecemeal, with
out finching on the part of the noble child,
"And now go exclaimed Morillo, untouched
by his sublime courage, the father of such a
son must die y
In the presence of his agonized and vainly
suffering son, the patriot father was then exc
cuted. Never did life picture exhibit such
truthful lights and shades in national character

The plan for the erection of the equestrian
statue of Washington, which Mr.. Clark Mills,
the artist has presented to the President for his
approval, contemplates an expenditure Of quite
100000 to that end wrote you yesterday
that there was small chance that Gen Pierce
would listen to any proposition likely to end in
spending more than the $50, 600 already appro-
priated for this purpose. A knowledge Of the
tremendous proposed increase above stated, sat-
isfed me that Mr.. Mills will be promptly and
fatty informed that if not willing to contract
to finish satisfactory work for the $4,000, all
he has to do will be to say so and that the
President will report the fact to Congress at the
next session. [Cor. y. 7. Tribune

Senator Atchison-A Good Deed.

By far the most meritorious and praise
worthy political act we lave ever known of
Senator Atchison, is his vote against the
insolent hireling press at Washington city,
claiming to be the organ of Pierce's admin
istration, and known among men who have
the misfortune 10 know it at all, as the
Washington Union. He voted against that
concern, and voted in favor of Beverly
Tucker, of the Sentinel, for Printer to the
U. S. Senate-and eight other Democratic
Senators had the self-rcspect and the manli-
ness to do the same.
Some time since, when Mr.. Pierce threw
himself into the hands of the Freesoilers of
New York-removed that staunch Union
Democrat, Greene c. Bronson; and appoint
ed Heman ]. Redfeld, it was minated in
some quarter that the U. S. Senate might
not confirm the appointment of Redfeld.
Whereupon the insolent Washington Union
had the audacity to threaten that great con-
stitutional body--the pride of the nation
the adviser of the President--the bulwark
against the violence and passions of Demo-
cratic mobOcracy-that if any one of their
number, of the Presidents political faith,
should dare oppose his masters beheStS, that
unfortunate contumacious U. S. Senator
should have cause Of personal and political
regret. so LONG as he MIGHT liyel
Well, the insolent slave of power has
felt the Senate's whip on his own bare back,
the first of all the rebukes to President
Pierce's toadies. Who now has cause for
personal and political regret9 All honor to
Senator AtchiSon, for this manly act In
telligencer.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT RAILROAD LET.-
We learn that the line known as the Fort
Wayne and Platte Valley Aar-lnc Rail-
road has recently been put under contract
for the whole distance. This line extends
from Fort Wayne, Indiana, nearly on an air
line through Rochester, Winamac and Lacon
10 New Boston on the Mississippi, and
thence to Council Bluff. 1t will involve an
expenditure of nearly $l7,000,000, and is
to be completed the whole distance within
FIVE years. Messrs Burt & Co., of Ohio,
are the contractors. 1ntersecting as it will
the Toledo and Illinois Railroad at Fort
Wayne, and the Logansport and Northern
Indiana Railroad at some point in Whitley
county, Indiana, it will form one of the
most important railroad lines destined to
pour wealth and prosperity into Toledo.

Two Strange Thinpsl

The last Lexington Express has two
strange things in it, looking, as we do,
through Wing glasses.
First, there is an editorial article, from
which we learn that paper has been put
in circulation in that county, as well as
Johnson. (Which counties constitute Sem
atorial District for signatures, instructing
their Senator, Hon. b. w. Grover, 10 vote
for Col. Benton for Senator, at the next Lee
gislature; and that the paper is signed by
Wings as well as Democrats. There may
be men calling themselves Wings, who
would sign such q paper, but they are just
no Wigs at all!
Second, there is communication depre-
ciating the claims of JNo. G. MILLER, and
advocating those of S. II. Woodson, on the
ground that Woodson is truer to the South
than Miller: that he denies the power of
Congress to legislate on slavery in or out
of territory, while Miller admits it. Now,
Miller has once killed that humbug, in the
Third District, beating Green on that is
sue, backed by such traitors as Clark and
his followers, who are now fairly over the
fence. 1t was tried again against Lindley,
and Jackson was run out Of the District.
Now, if Woodson and his friends are
silly enough to try it on in the Fifth Dis
trict, Miller is just the man to "hax them
out" so clean, that they will wake up, sur
rounded by Locofoco "clappers and grin
ners" barely sufficient to leave them with
out decent sepulture.
Miller is sound on the compromise
sound on the Pacific Road-sound on Ne
braska--and is sound, talented, thorough
going Clay and Webster Wing.

Abolition Documents.

We are indebted to some unknown hand
Tor pamphlet containing a series of letters
DNrporting TO be written from some one in
Missouri to friend in New York. There
are no names published in the pamphlet
The letters treat Of slavery in Missouri, the
Missouri Compromise, and Nebraska Ter
ri'ory. The writer thinks slavery in Mis-
souri, is doomed and must soon cease. He
argues that slavery illegally exists in the
Platte Purchase, and that any slave there
may sue for his freedom, and would gain il
before the United States Supreme Court, on
the ground that the Missouri Compromise
declared emphaiically, that all the territory
north of our southern line, except that en-
braced in the boundaries of Missouri, when
she was admitted, "should be forever free"
The Platte Purchase was not within the
boundary of Missouri as first established,
and was declared forever Free; hence Con-
gress has no power to make it slave. He
also argues that Nebraska must be free be-
cause the slave States have no population
TO lose, He assumes that a majority Of the
paOpie Of Missouri are now fog freedom,
and that emigration to, land immigration from,
IS increasing that majority, Phe pamphlet
is decidedly abolition in its tendency, and we
have no idea it was written by Missouri
an. If the writer lives in this State he did
well to withhold his name.
We have not the production by us now,
having loaned it TO a friend, but when it is
ro'ulned. and we have more leisure 10 sx-
sDiaa il, we will rerur 10 il again !

WHAT's1N THE WIND?-The N. Y. Her.
aid offers five hundred dollars reward, (and
no questions asked, to any person who
will furnish it with an "authentlc copy of a
certain letter, said 10 have been written in
l848, by Franklin Pierce, of N. Hampshire,
in reply to an invitation TO attend the Bufa-
10 Free Soil Convention Of that year, or to
be their candidate for the Presidency. The
letter is said to have sympathized with their
views, and approved the platform construc-
ted by John Van Buren, in Buffalo"
Also, handsome reward is offered for
we'll authenticated copies of certain anil
slavery speeches "delivared by the said Gen
eral Franklin Pierce, at Manchester, New
Hampshire, and elsewhere in that State, a
few years ago."

Wing Policy.

We copy an article on this subject from
the St. Louis Republican, and heartily en-
dOrscit We oppose "entangling alliances"
are for wings for Offices, oppose all fomen-
tiers of discord, and desire to establish good
feeling, and concert of action, between all
whigs--whig editors as wei las wing readers.
We hope the Republican win stick to the
Text, and let us hear no more from it about
Benton wing organs, freesoil wings, &c.
Such course has not only injured wing
prospects, but has, to considerable extent
destroyed the influence and usefulness Of
that paper, with "up-country wings"

Printer to the Senate.

The election Of Beverly Tucker to be
Printer to the Senate seems TO have taken
most people by surprise. Armstrong, who
had bullied the Senate-d, red them 10 re-
ect the nomination of Redfed, as Collector
Of New York-and pnt on airs after the de-
cided vote by which he was elected in the
House-must have been greatly shocked at
the vote of the Senate. 1t is t be under
stood that the vote. Of that body was by bal
lot, but this does not prevent that vote from
being known, and accordingly we find 1t

sleeping above the Store OF L. D. Cameron,
were awakened by smoke and heat. Upon
examination, box of dry goods, in the store
room, which was near the fire place, was
found to be on fire. The fire place was not
used but had not been closed up, and the
SCOT in the chimney taking fire from the

discovery, and the building and contents
must have been consumed.
