DEATH OF LIEUT.. SIMON r. BLUNT,
UNITED STATES NAVY.

With feelings Of sincere sorrow, we record
the death Of this truly gallant officer and ac-
complished gentleman. We knew him well,
and knew few men of his age who had acquired
a more enviable renown. His early life might
be said to be romantic. His chivalry of char
acter was first displayed during the Southamp.
ton massacre in Virginia. AT eleren gears of
age, by his presence of mind and undaunted
valor, he defended his fathers home, and sue
cessfully repelled the infuriated insurgents.
The incident attracted much attention at the
time, and General jackson, then President,
was so impressed by it, that he conferred upon
him commission in the United States navy.
Since that time his name has been pride to
his brother officers, and an honor to the service.
He had every manly virtue in an eminent de-
gree. In every relation of life he was generous
and just, brave and gentle, affectionate and
kind. Our heart turns sadly from the contem-
plation of such a loss, in affectionate sympathy
to the lovely family whose hearts have been
bruised by SO inscrutable dispensation. May
He who "tempereth the wind to the shorn
lamb" be their counsellor and friend.

has been passed which forbids acts which are
SO nearly akin to war without special permis-

from the crown can at any moment give full
authority, even in England, for enlisting, arm
ing, equipping, and drilling men TO strike ma
tions at peace with Great Britain. We do not
know that any nation besides the United States
has " neutrality laws" of any kind, character
or description whatever. We are not, there
fore, under any obligation to maintain and
continue those We have. Our offer of recipro-
city has been disregarded, and we feel disposed
to urge full and complete repeal; at all
events, we will sustain the proposition to sus-
pend the operation of the neutrality laws

rwo PICTURES OF PUBLIC MEN.

The Pennsylvanian, of the lst instant con-
tains two long and carefully prepared articles,
which will attract their due share of public at
tention. One is labored attack on James
Gordon Bennett, the well-known conductor of
the New York Herald AS might be expected
from the complexion of the RsnnsylUanian,
and from the influences which control it, this
article is characterized by much acrimony.
Bennett is described as a very monster of ini-
quity, with all the worst passions that belong
to human nature ranking in an evil heart
The other article is a glowing eulogy on a
public man whose name is quite as familiar to
the public ear as that of the conductor Of the
Herald. We mean Colonel John w. Forney.
The writer shows that he is as much at home
in eulogy as in philippe. He can praise as
well as abuse Whilst one is represented as
grim devil, the other is represented as "cun-
ming pattern of excelling nature" According
to this writer, one has all the bad, without any
of the good qualities; the other all the good,
without any Of the bad qualities.
Washington sentinel., 1854-05-03

creases that demand. The more complicated
that war, and the more nations there are en-,
gagged in it, the greater win be the demand and
the higher the price for grain. Again the re.
sponsibiity of this war is not on the American
farmers. They did not cause it. They would
not stop it, if they could; and if the evil pas
sions or the folly of other nations induce them
to go to war, our farmers cannot be blamed for
seeking to derive some benefit from it.
Immense crops of wheat have been seeded,
and preparations are being made for large crops
Of corn. Should the war be speedily termina-
ted and peace proclaimed, the farmers would
sustain heavy loss.
1t is our policy, as we have said before, to
remain at peace, if we can do so honorably,
with all the nations of the earth and if our
rights as neutrals are respected, and the alli-
ance formed against Russia shall not be ex-
tended to this continent, we see no danger of
our becoming involved in war. Such a war,
like sudden peace in Europe at the present
time, would be very disastrous to our agricul-
tural interests.
