THE OLD SAYING,
{" God tempers the Winds to the Ssorn Lamb"

Some time ago communication from the editor of o
neighborng paper put in hand asking after the
paternity Of this old saying nquring if it from
the Sacred Volume from some old English author.
1t is surpriSng how the impression that every
good saying is from cherished Bible it speaks well
for the hearts of not for their heads 1t is said Of
RoBERT HALL-than whom more perfect master of the
beauties Of the English tongue lived whose writings
Judge Story used to read to drink in the spirit of his of
mother-tongue-that morning while preparing
clergyman of the established church called when
Hall said to him: 81 thinking Of discourse the
words, In the midst of life are in DEATH" "Why
exclaimed his friend with an arch SMILE Where did
you find that text? Indeed said Hall, with surprise
Indeed have not looked for it, It will be well that
you do" responded his companion " for it will make
something of sensation if the great Robert Hail. the
Dissenter and Baptist quotes Prayer Book Gospel
in his pulpit"
The expression above quoted is neither Scripture
Shakespeare from neither Of the two great Of
reference for all that is excellent in English expression
Of this beforehand satisfied But to search out
whence such gems come is difficult matter than
might be supposed People that have precious gems
usually satisfied to have the confidence that they
theirs. 1t is not easy matter to say whence they
first dug and who first gave them to the light In
fact old sayings much the uterance of humanity
in all time and space that they perhaps hardly be said
to have had origin.
Through the aid of lady's Index Rerum land choice
memories often gathered from this storehouse Of
storied "Ida we readily traced the saying to Sernes
Sentimental Journey where it is uttered by poor broken
hearted, wandering Maria Of Mouines. All Sterne's
editors that have been able to consult put the
preston in italics, though not marking quotation
indicating thus Maras utteranoe of it also suggests
that it is saying, of the peoples aerance
if it be not any particular writer's penned sentiment 1t
is apparently thus used by Sterne; for Maria is French
girl and therefore it is specially English saying
nor is it probably to be sought any where in English
literature
Perhaps Of our literary readers may be prompted
to make search for this fragment Of the philosophers
stone" For ourselves, however we should ex-
pect to find what mathematician first used the
preston, two and two make four" 1t part Of the
words of the Bible, though 1t is not Scripture

THE ANNIVERSARY PARADE.

The Volunteer Regiment, though the ranks Of the COM
panies by full, Thursday made brilliant
display in honor Of the closing triumph Of the Revolu-
tonary 1t consisted Of the following companies
The Washington Light Infantry, Capt. Darlington |;
National Greys, Lieut.. Sutton commanding Montgomery
Guards Lieut.. Feeny commanding National Guards,
Capt Tat Scott Guards, "a Juvenile corps Capt Jam-
son German Yeagers Capt. Schwarzman; Boon Rifles,
Capt. Bright and the American Rfemen Capt Smith.

efficient discharge Of his duties The other field and staff
officers 1t. Col. RILEY, Major KEYwoRrH, Major
BACON, (acting as Adjutant) Surgeon MORGAN, and

At halfpas IL o'clock the regiment was drawn up on
Pennsylvania avenue between Lafayette Square and the
Presidents House. Here they Joined by the Mount
Vernon Guards of Alexandria, who were assigned the
post of honor the right At o'clock they
viewed by the PRESIDENT of the United States and Secre
tary DAVIS. They were then joined by Capt. PEcK's
Mounted Guard and proceeded to the Washington Monu
make their contribution to the fund. We have
heard the result but have doubt it worthy Of
their weearned character for patriotism and beraty
The American Rfemen, which is company, closed
their exercises by ball last night.
1t to be generally admitted that effort is
necessary to fill up the companies to the proper numbers
There in the city ample material for full regiment
and the character Of the Metropolis is somewhat involved
in keeping this regiment at the highest point Of efficiency

THE BANNER DISTRICT OF OHIO.

The extraordinary maorities for the Opposition Con-
gessona candidates in Ohio seemed at the close of the
election to have taken every body by surprise and each
district anced it had done better than any of the others
For instance, the Ohio State Journal published in the
twelfth district, represented by DR.. OLDs claims
that the banner district because it gave majority of
1886 for Mr. GALLOWAY. This majority, however, large
as it is is eclpsed by several other districts.
In the fifth district, where in 1852, the Democratic
majority for Mr. EDaERroS 4409, Mr.. Mort is now
elected by majority Of AGO. Mr. Edgeron, who voted
against the Nebraska bill, was not candidate
Next the eleventh district now represented by
Mr. GREEN in which Mr. HORTON is elected by over 900
majority!
Then the Ross district represented by that ster-
ling Whig JOHN L. TAYLOR, Whose majority here
ofore some hundreds gives for his SUCCESSOR OSCAR F.
MOORE the sweeping majority of 5OOO Mr. Taylor de-
cned reelection.
But even these high figures not enough to
the palm 1t has been awarded to the Logan district
where BENJAMIN STANTON, former Wing member, has q
majority of upwards of 1000!
1t is said :" the storm general"

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM MISREPRESENTATION
NOT YET TAKEN.

Yesterday afternoon the European steamer Africa
arrived off Sandy Hook, from whence we have by
Telegraph summary of her news, which, in view
of the last preceding advces from the seat of war
and the speculations which they superinduced, is
rather of an extraordinary character.
The rejoicings in England and France over the
supposed decisive victories in the Crimea have been
suddenly checked by the announcement that Sebas-
topo is not taken; that the report of the destruction
of the Russian fleet is false that the report Of the
explosion of Fort Constantine is also FALSE and that
the despatch purporting to have come from OMER
PACHA was forgery.
Sebastopol, however, has been invested by the
Allies, both by land and sea- But it had not fallen
as late as the 30th ultimo A despatch dated at
Constantinope on the evening of that day, from
Lord STRATFoRD DE RADCLIFFE to Lord CLAREN-
DON, states that the armies had established basis
of operations at Balaklava. On the morning Of the
18th they were preparing to march without delay
upon Sebastopsl. The Agamemnon and other YES
sells of were at Baaklava, where they were dis
embarking the battering trains.
The Austrian General at Odessa telegraphs that
the struggle recommended on the 25th and con-
tinued when the courier left. On the 9th the
Allies were on the road to Baalbeck, ten miles from
Sebastopol.
Official dispatches, received by way of Mar
settles, state that Sebastopo was invested on the
9th and the second line of defences carried Prince
Menschikoff had fallen back with the wreck of his
army, and was shut up in Sebastopol. The Allied
land forces were in communication with their feet
and commanded the approaches to Sebastopol.
Gen. Ostensacken and Gen. Luders had entered
the Crimea with Russian reinforcements to the
number of forty battalions. Omer Pasha had or
ders to join the army Of the Crimea.
At the battle of Alma the Allied forces took
three thousand prisoners
The Notifications of Anapa were burnt by the
Russian garrison, who were marching to the scene
of action.

WHAT IS POPULAR sovEREIGNrYs
FROM THE OHIO STATE JOURNAL.

Il
We are amused at the attempts of the different
organs, big and little, North and South, to explain
what they understand by this phrase applied to
United States Territories. The laworganizing Kan
sas and Nebraska no where recognises sovereignty
| in the people, as we have often shown. Yet it is
harped upon as a catchword as a sort of abstrac-
ton, to amuse the popular mind and draw it of
from the real purpose and intention of the repealers
in their assault on the time-honored Missouri Com
promise.
We have called attention once or twice to the
triangular war going on between the organ of Gen.
Cass at Detroit, the Richmond Enquirer, and the
Washington Union. These precious expounders of
popular sovereignty cannot agree among them
selves. Now that the restrictions imposed on the
spread of slavery are removed, the conditions and
objects are differently understood by the high COM
tracing parties. We have before quoted the En-
quirer on this delicate point Hear what it says of
Gen Cass in rejoinder to the Union, and mark its
contempt of squatter sovereignty:
The truth (says the ERquirer Gen. Cass had
any hold the confidence much less the gratitude of
the South. This fact satisfactorily demonstrated,
should think in the Presidential election Of 184S
The concerted effort of the Union and other journals in
his interest to him second time and to incorporate
sqaar sovereignty into the Democratic creed will provoke
resistance in the South which may possibly end in the
disruption Of the party"
Popular sovereignty is not working right under
the practical construction given to it by Yankee
terprise. The South would like to repudiate.
Now, since the manifestation of popular sove-
reignty" at the election IN Ohio, hear what our
neighbor of the Ohio Statesman says on the sub
ject:
aWe have q warrant from true aud as honest De-
mocracy that of Virginia to repudiate its isolated in
science We speak for the Godgven right of the West
pioneer who the he drives his stake in Kan
soil makes himself voter, and thereby arbter Of
the destiny of that embryo State. Hereon stand
we stand unbroken, and are ready as we have all
along commended brave every contumey for the behoof
of pioneer rights and unrestricted popular Sovereignty We
recognise power in Congress to bind down the man
hood of America wherever 1t emigrates."
Unrestricted popular sovereignty" These are
brave words. Is the Statesman it had read the
threat Of disruption Of the party uttered by the
Enquirer before it ventured on the spunky asser-
ton we have quoted above9
Here is serious trouble. The Enquirer threatens
dissolution Of the "party" before it will submit
slavery to popular sovereignty. The Statesman is
prepared to brave every danger, even dissolution
of the Union, before it will yield any thing.
We return to the question with which we set out,
/" What is popular sovereignty" Who can tell

RUMORED DISCOVERY OF THE REMAINS OF ,
JOHN FRANKLIN.

A despatch from DR.. McRAE, dated at York Fac
tory on the 4th of August, has been received by
the Governor of the Hudson Bay Territory, mar
rating the discovery of the remains Of Sir JOHN
FRANKLIN and his unfortunate company. 1t is
stated that they starved to death in the spring
of 1850, to the northwest of Fox River.
How sadly will this news fall upon the hearts
of the whole British nation and of humanity every
where The memory of the gallant Admiral and
his heroic wife will be cherished alike in after years,
and live in perennial freshness. What science has
lost in his death cannot now be estimated but what
the world has gained in. sublime example can be
