Interview with Humboldt.

Prof. Silliman gives the following in
teresting account of his late interview
with this distinguished naturalist.
SIN fnlfilment of an appointment wo
went at once, and were admitted by his
faithful servant, the companion of many
an arduous journey. Ills mansion is
plain edtice, situated in a retired part of
the city; and he would not have been
now at home, had not the king gone to
Konigsberg; for his residence is general,
ly with the king at Potsdam who keeps
him near his person as his father did be-
fore him, not only for his society and con.
versaton, but, no doubt, as q counsellor,
wise from his many years, and his large
experience in the world. We passed
through his library, which fills upon all
sides, a room Of considerable size; and ho
issued from door on the remote side of
the apartment, openingapparently from
his private room. He met us withgreat
kindness and perfect frankness, and with
a pleasant rebukc for my having hOsitat.
ed to call on him, had written note
asking permission to call, implying that
he was not ignorant of my position and
efforts at home. then introduced my
son and Mr.. Brush, and we were at onco
placed perfectly at our case. His bright
countenancc expresses great benevolence;
and from the fountain of his immense
stores of knowledge, stream almost
constant, flowed for nearl y an hour. lie
was not tngrossing, but yielded to our
promptngs, whenever we suggested an
inquiry, or alluded to any peculiar topic;
for we did not wish to occupy the time
with our remarks any farther than to
draw him out. He had a perfect com.
mand of the hest English, and speakstho
language quite agreeably, There is no
state!incss or reserve about him; and he
is as ahablc as he had no claims to su.
periority. His voice is exceedingly mu-
steal, and he is so animated and amiable
that you feel at once as if he was an old
friend. His person is not much above
the middle size: he is not unlike in form
to the late Colonel Trumbull. llestoops
a little but less than most men at the age
of eighty two. He has no appearance Of
docrcpitude; his eyes are brilliant; his
complexion light; his features and person
are round, though mol fat; his hair thin
and white; his mind is active and his
language brilliant, and sparkling with
bright thoughts. lie alluded in a hatter
ingmanner TO our progress in knowledge
in the United States and to the effect
which the american Journal Of Science
and Arts Ind produced in promoting it.
lie showed himself perfectly acquainted
with the progress ofphysical science and
general improvementin our country, and
particularly commended the labors ofCol,
Fremont in the Far West, of Professor
Bachc in tho coast survey and Lieutenant
Maury in navigation. Bringing out his
maps, and tracing his lines without glas.
scs, he pointed ont channel of commu-
nication across the Isthmus of Darian,
which 'ho had observed and described
more than forty years ago, and to which
his attention had been recalled by q pa,
per of Capisdn Eitzroy, in the Jomn@
Of the Royal Geogrop1ica' Society.

PROGRESS OF AMERICANIsM.

The Albany Register (Silver Gray closes an
article on the results Of the late New York cleo
ton as follows, to wit:
Another good result will follow the contest that
has just closed. It has indicated American ma
tionality, and shown the power of the American
sentiment. The demagogues who, to secure po-
ltical influence, banded Catholicism, organized
foreign corps, and used them as body guard, not
only to push their own fortunes, but to hunt down
American men ten thousand times their own supe-
riors in intelligence in integrity, and in and in en-
cry attribute that goes to make up the patriotic
citizen have been most signally overthrow. The
moral prestige resulting from such overthrow will
be most sautary 1t win teach the demagogues
who would degrade the American character for the
sake of political influence, who would insult the
faith of the American people to advance their own
selfish ambition, that however successful such a
course may for time be, the end win surely be dis
astrous. Il will admonsh those who come to
that our country as refuge or in pursuit Of for
tune, they must lay aside their bigotry of faith,
their prejudices of country when they enter
the field of American politics; that they must
cease to band themselves upon their religion or
their origin and become Americanized, nssimilating
and sympathizing with the American people, be-
come in fact purely and only American citizens.
AS such they win be cherished and admitted to
positions of influence and honor. As anything
else, while they viii be protected In Their so
cial, POLITICAL and religious rights, they will not
be preferred to official place or power. As Ameri-
can citizens, IL they choose to become such in truth
as in name, they win be accepted without inquiry
as TO their origin or their faith; but they will have
learned by the result of the present canvass that
the American people, looking to the preservation
of American institutions when they station their
sentinels hereafter, viii "put none but Americans
on guard
These are some Of the results Of the present can
vass that are certain let it finally terminate as Il
may, and they are worth month of excitement,
and day Of labor such as Tuesday in fact was.
They win exercise sautary moral influence, suc.i
as every honest citizen will rejoice over

18th contains an editorial ON tho late election,
from which we extract the following To wit:
q Par contya, the independent State ticket Of the
Know Nothings in New York, and the results Of
the election from this movement, have seriously
damaged the estimates Of the Seward coalition for
future operations. In fact we consider the New
York Known Nothing movement as settling the
hash for w. ii. Seward. His projected northern
anti-sayery coalition crusade against the South is
overshadowed by the hostile attitude Of the Know
Nothings. They hold the balance ofpower."
Will any press hereafter have the bold Of
frontery to assert that the know Nothings'
are either Wigs or Abolitionists in disguised
They are neither. They are conservative
americans
William H. Seward and his allies are now,
we trust, iapoteat for mischief The Ameri-
can party" has in this single year by its con-
sentative influence, done more for the preser-
walton Of the Union, than has been done in the
last twenty years, saving and excepting the
patriotic efforts Of the Union party in 1850,
whose labors had been rendered aOught by the
laundering follies Of this administration II is
our firm belief that both Bentonism and Sew
ardism are now crushed, and that If the patri-
otto portions of the people continue to rally
around our standard, we shall form conser-
oatioe, U,aion-looing, and liberty preserving
party, whose poaoer win arrest the machina-
tons of demagogues, and render the Unicn
perpet,tat.

FOREIGN NEWS.

We devote large space in our paper to-day
to the foreign news by the Atlantic The in
telligence from the seat Of war, though inter
esting, is by no means decisive as to the result
of the seige of Sebastapol. The Gear had sent
two Of his sons to the Crimea, and without
doubt a large additional force had been dis
patched by him to the relief Of the besieged
fortress, and which force may have reached in
time to interpose powerful obstacles to the sue
cess Of the allied powers. We hope So Whilst
the contest was solely between Russia and Tur-
key, our sympathies were with the latter; but
as an American politician, we do not desire
the success of England and France even in q
struggle with the Emperor Nicholas. From
the two former, we have much to fear-from
the latter, nothing, We abhor despotism, but
we are not quite sure there is less despotism in
the former than in the latter
But however this may be, as it regards the
respective condition of their subjects at home,
we are not anxious to see England and France
triumph over the only continental power which
could successfully check their ambition in the
eastern world. 1t is not improbable we might
have cause to regret the joint triumph of these
two nations in their present contest
Mr., Soule, it seems though not fortunate
enough to involve us in war with Spain, has
finally become involved in difficulties with
another power, which may possibly lead to
serious results.
We publish an article from the London
Times and another view of the subject copied
from the New York Times, without passing
any opinion on the matter, not having yet the
necessary information.
lit be true, that the Emperor Of the French
has purposely insultef this government we
shall urge the demand flor proper redress Il,
on the contrary, it is .apersonal or individual
affair, not affecting the rights Of Mr.. Soule as
an ambassador Of the United States, it will as
sumo different aspect and create but little
excitement We have always considered MIR.
Soule an improper person to represent the
United States abroad, nevertheless France
must be held responsible for whatever insult
she may have offered to our government If
any, no matter what objections might be urged
against Mr.. Soul6's appointment His unfit
ness for the station he occupies affords no ex-
cuse to Napoleon, if he has wantonly insulted
our country or our government

THE KNOw-NoTHINGs AND ROMAN
CATHOLICS

We have often tried to explain the position
Of Americanism upon the religious questions
which agtate the day, and presuming from
what we hear, that the Known things occu-
py the same position, the following remarks
by writer in the New York Express are Of
importance, as they cover the whole ground
which has ever been assumed by any Ameri-
can organization we are familiar with. This
writer says
newspapers Of various classes in different parts
of the country have protested against the Know
Nothines az acknowledgements Of the Roman
Catholic religion The Know-Nothings, on the
contrary, have completely disavowed this charge,
insisting they do not oppose any religion or prac-
tice whatever, but quite the opposite, were faith
full friends and protectors of religious freedom |;
not in the sense Of Bishop Hughes, but in its real
old and common Specification. But they say what
they oppose is Roman Catholic politics, which Of
ten assumes the name Of Roman Catholic religion,
but is wholly distinct thing. They admit, re-
cognise, and sustain the right in any and all who
choose to worship in the Roman Catholic churches,
TO believe and profess what they please In religion
but they win not admit nor submit 10 any one who
attempts to put down by club law free debate or
free preaching, in the house or open air, nor al
low foreign influence to interfere with elections,
or to raise or threaten mob law, or TO threaten CIT
izens with the consequences, IL they do not sub
sttute the canon law Of Rome for the State laws
Of the Union Even though such subversive at
tempts may be under the name Of religion, their
opposers claim to be able to discriminate, and are
fully convinced that in opposing them they op'
pose nothing religious, but what ispurely political
and at the same time wrong anti American, and
intolerable - Dragon Spectator.

TO OUR ADVERTISERS.

In making up our paper on yesterday, we
were obliged to place portion OF our numer-
advertisements on the outside form. We call
the attention Of our readers to this fact be-
cause stale advertisements are generally used
in making up the first few numbers Of a 'eao
paper, and especially the outside form we,
however, have adopted different rule, from
which we shall not depart, and which IS TO
..,j..sll 10 advertisements except paying ones.
No advertisement has been OF will be inserted
in our paper except upon the condition Of be-
ING paid for, according to our terms.
II is duo to our advertising friends that our
readers should know that all our advertisements,
both on the outside and inside forms are meao
advertisements
We have large and extensive circulation
ecen ,sop, and the prospect is fair that our cir
culation, in one month from this, Will be Tar
more general and extensive than that Of any
paper ever published in this city. We return
our thanks to our friends for the advertising
patronage so literally bestowed upon us at the
beginning of our enterprise.

Of residence prior to an immigrants admission

that this result can be constitutionally effected
Nor can there be any doubt that If it should
be deemed proper to discriminate between those
foreigners who can furnish evidence Of " a per-
manent interest in, and attachment TO the COM

evidence, rule could be adopted that would
even effect this purpose. There is no difficulty,
in our opinion, in deyising satisfactory and

cF- There are those who doubt that the
American party" are equally opposed to Will
liam II. Seward and to the administration, and
to such persons we commend the following brief
extract from the New York Herald Of yesterday,
to wit:
a0n the other hand, there Is something Of fearful
import In the transfer Of the conservative Wings
from the Seward coalition to Ullman--to say moth
ing of the transfer Of the bulk Of the Bronson party
to the Know Nothings which may or may not have
been mere temporary operation. As matters now
stand the conservative Wings, in cooperation with
the Know Nothings, hold tremendous balance Of
power against the Seward anti-slavery league. In
this view the vote for Ullman spos all the Seward
estimates of the late elections in Pennsylvania,
Ohio Indiana, Illinois and Michigan. In those
States as against the administration, the Know
Nothings combined with the Seward league TO
crush out the Kitchen Cabinet party. They did
the work in crushing style. But in New York the
administration was considered already defunct
while Seward, in open hostility to the Know Moth
ings was master Of the field. Hence the indepen-
dent nomination Of Ullman against the Seward can
didatc and the astounding disclosure that the Know
Nothings are on the course for the presidency on
their own account and not less hostile 70 Seward
than TO the Cabinet managers at Washington"
