Because you flourish in worldly affairs,

But learn for the sake Of your minds repose,

And that all Proud Flesh, wherever it goes,

Every man of honorable feelings will admire
the following remarks. They are from a political
opponent of Col. Davis, and a townsman, who
has known him long and well, and who is capable
of Judging of his mental ability and social posi-
ton.
The editor of the Independent says: in speak
ing of Col. Davis that ga large portion of the
Democratic press are most sedulously engaged in
the work of detraction both as regards his polti-
cal abilities and his personal manners. The form
er of these points of attack may be legitimate,
but the latter we consider to be gross violation
of good taste and common decency. Such a
course, however it may crafty the malignity OF a
few individuals, can do no possible injury to the
private character of Gen. Davis In these circles
where he is best known.
We notice that it is urged as almost crime that
Davis was once whig-a thousand pities he ever
left $50 goodly company" to herd with those
with whom he is now associated. But what rem
ders this objection the more ridiculous is that it
appears in paper, one of whose editors, we are
informed, short time ago, was the editor of a
Wing paper. If to have been once Wing is a
crime, then Democracy should at once exLinguish
some of its "shining lights" Guardian Wings,

gress--in every state of the Union-indeed we

"a factious place hunter-a fnical fop-a man
of very limited abilities.
If this be all true what corrupt men-nay,
what egregious fools and hypocrites must be the
81 members who voted for him in the Convention
what stupid asses must have been the thousands
of Democrats who were so eager for his nomina-
ton.
But these charges upon the mental and person
al qualities Of Gen. Davis are libelous-not only
upon Gen. Davis-but upon the men who voted
for him in Convention and the masses who yet sus-
tain him.
OF his political opinions we are no admirer and
we can never support any man holding such, but
we know him to be kind friend-a warmhearted
gentleman and as such we are unwilling to hear
bis personal manners and private character wan
tonly assailed."

The Gardiner trial has turned out a nais-tr trial
the jury, after being out some six or eight days,
standing nine for acquittal and three for convic-
ton. We learn from Washington letter that
Charles Gardiner is now to be tried upon like
indictment for perjury, to commence on Monday,
last contrary to the wish and the protest of the
District Attorney, who is not prepared for the
trial, and has not at hand the evidence relied up
on by the Government. The jury will perhaps
disagree in the latter case as well as the former
Dr. Gardiner is also to be tried upon an indict-
ment for forgery, aud it will be as difficult to prove
that as the other charge. On the whole, the
chances are that neither of the GARDENERS will be
convicted under the indictments, whatever may be
the opinion as to their conduct. But in the civil
suit, for the recovery of the Gardiner award,
which is now under injunction, the United States
may succeed. The GARDENERS will get clear, and
the Government will recover about half the sum
awarded to DR.. Gardiner, but not cent of the
Means award, which has less foundation probably
than GARDENERS.

Two WAYS OF DoING A THING.-We were
passing leisurely along one of our streets the
other evening, watching the sports of group
of youngsters, when our years were assailed by
the sharp, angry voice OF a woman.
"Here, you, John Smith come into the
house this moment"
One of the boys turned his head, giving at
the same time rather unflial shrug, then re-
sumed his play.
"Do you hear what I say, John Smith?
March quick, or you'll catch it, tell you'll"
We rather guess Jonny did "catch it" for
we heard, after we had passed, jerk and a
slay, accompanied with smothered yell, as the
door was violently slammed to.
We went on our way, doubling whether this
course of treatment was exactly the best under
the circumstances, particularly as the counte-
nance of the lad indicated the greatest good
nature.
AS we were cogitating the matter, we turned
the corner and came upon another group of
lads in front of q house. the door Of which at
that moment opened.
"Willie," said mild and pleasant voice.
"Did you call, mother?" asked one of the
boys, coming on to the sidewalk.
eyes, my son. It is getting late-have you
not played sufficiently to-day?"
g should like to stay out little longer, il
you please"
The mother patted the boy on the head, and
smilingly said: II should not object if it were
not past yonr bedtime. Have you forgotten,
Willie, the lines you repeated to me this morn
ing?'
Early to bed and early TO RISE
Makes one healthy, happy and.wise,"
chimed the boy quickly. eyes, mother, ! re-
member them. Good night, Tommy; good
night, Harry and, taking his mothers hand,
he went cheerfully into the house.
This set us again cogitating. Our thoughts
ran on the laws of kindness and force. What
would be the effect on the two lads who had
been subjected to them? Is it not the inevita-
bic tendency Of the one to begst kindness, ami
ability, obedience; and the other obstinacy, i'll
temper, disobedience? No one will dispute
this, we think.
Men are but children of larger growth. As
with the child, so with the man. You can lead
him better with gentle hand than drive him
with the rod.

The Goat Tournament.
The fighting mania which has prevailed SO
extensively in the city for the week, even
infests the lower animals; and the usually
quiet, and sedate, and venerable looking goats
whose "local habitation" is Main street, "pitch.
ed into" each other last evening. 1t was q
real Fauquier Springs tournament-one of the
goats appearing in the character Of Richard
C9ur de Leon,n and the other sporting the
"White Plume of Navarro" The spectacle
was as exciting as any the ninnies get up at the
springs, and called together a large crowd Of
spectators. The goat with the lion heart was
the larger, but him of Navarro, although small
and diminutiye, was very desperate.
First tromid.-Navarre poised himself upon
his hind legs, and came down upon "Richard, y
who received the blow couchant, and returned
it with "cut and thrust" in the side. This
was touching the fierce little fellow in the
"tender loins,' and he retreated few steps to
recover Then both rear up, with heads aslant,
and the concussion was tremendous Audi
ence greatly excited running high" two
juleps to one on Dick;' watermelon on Ma
varre." AT this stage of the game, a dapper
little goat came up and called for "time"-a
respite-thus: Bah
Second round.-Richard looked the hero,
calm, and every muscle nerved, and not a hair
of his moustache rufaed. The "White Plume y
put on airs, frisked about, and courted a smile
from the ladies. The lists were opened, and
the knights engaged in by-play, as the actors do
in the "lay on Macduf" fight, stamping the
ground and appearing "all-6red" angry. Old
Richard soon tired of this, retreated few steps,
poised himself "Crack," "crack," "crack, y
the blows resounded as they fell heavily upon
the casque of Navarro. Excitement intense
all the crowd take chews Of tobacco. Another
series of blows-Navarre gets weak in the legs
and he wants to renew the by-play. Richard
is determined to end the combat at single eff
fort. And he did it. The force of the blow
knocked Navarro clear round, and taking ad
vantage of his inverted position, Dick bit Ma
rd,re on the tail, and he run like Eddie Ochil
tree did when he went after the "importan,
documents"

were for some time suffered to escape the no
tice they merited His pretensions were all con-
siderately received, and every right to which he
could show the smallest claim was admitted and
confirmed, AS far as regarded the Christians,
whose security he made the pretext of his pro-
ceedings the fullest assurances were offered on
the part of the Sultan that their privileges and
immunities should be respected. All that was
refused was such right of Intervention in
matters spiritual as would invest the emperor
of Russia with effective authority in the Otto
man dominions. Count Nesselrode's dispatch
claims, in distinct terms, for the Russian sover-
eign all those rights over 100000 of the
Sultan's subjects which may be enjoyed by GER
tain other potentates over subjects OF their own
resident in Turkish territories. This, it is per-
fectly plain, could not be conceded without giving
the emperor Of Russia abundant facilities for be-
coming emperor of Turkey also. The European
powers are not desirous that this consummation
should take place; they are anxious to avert it,
if possible, by peaceful negotiations, and at a
less cost than that of a general war; but if
matters are actually brought to extremities, and
the Czar still refuses to recede, be must be pre-
pared to encounter the full force of the hostility
he has thus provoked.
