REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL.

"I.a:c avcn,s connected with the yellow fever at
Norfolk and its proximity Ia Richmond, have caused
us 70 nnnder on the subject of removal Of the seat
nf government TO II more central point, AMI one
more cnsy uf access, than liz present l"cnilon.
Thus speaks our friend Of he I.ynchhurS Rrpubli-
can in his issue oi Thursday last. Alter giving his
reasons for removing the Capitol from Richmond and
Iorain. il n, Lgmcbj"ry, hc concludes with the fol-
lowing remark
"W. give our views and hope the press will re-
spoud-of course, ihnt OF Ric!mo3d Will see nothing
feasible in the PLAN
We do not know that the "of course which "ur
friend has thrown into the above sentence properly
belongs to it, but for one we do not hesitate to say
TINT re "sce nothing feasible in the plan We
might mention many striking particulars IN when
Richmond better adapted Tor the seat "i govern
nent than any other locality IN the commemorative
md as to its removal to "a central point we
cannot at present conceive Of any other which is
n. central. The proximity Of the yellow fever to
misunderstanding over one hundred mlles-cer-
a;nlv furnishes no evidence 10 us that the disease VIII

elevated position of this city will, we rns; and be-
,i,ve be perpetual bar to successful entrance ol

Ai,,d our sister cities the scabonrd. We beg our

Church Hills, prospects charming shall challenge his
vision, air. so Jalmy and nvsoratins shall salute
hi. checks, that all his apprshensions OF yellow fever
will instantly vanish and all his plans of removal
be consigned to the tomb.
Besides We are satisfied he has no. seriously consl-
dcr.d IT, and therefore, PROFOUND the question:

There is one of tive things in refer

have been kissed, cherished and wept
over, by men of far loftier intellect
So it will be to the end of all times.
It has a lesson worth learning by those
young creatures who seek to allure by
their accomplishments, or dazzle by
their genius, that though he may adj
mire, no man ever loves a woman for
these things. He loves her for what
is essentially distinct from, although
not incompatible with them. This is
why we so often see man of high

into his bosom some wayside flower,

adduce, is the difficulty of obtaining candi-
dates-thev allege that competent men
cannot abandon their interest during the
business season, which oblige them to ne-

would be an cay matter to conciliate their
private interests with those of the State,
by changing the time of the meeting Of
the legislature. During the months OF May.
June and July, the business season is over ;
& New Orleans then offers few attractions ;
the sacrifice would then be less to those

ASTOUNDING DIsCovRRY.-We find
the following account of a marvellous
discovery in an Irish paper, the edi-
tor of which remarks that it will not
probably be doubted by anybody who
has sufficient credulity to believe it;
We have been informed, but what
exact amount of credibility we should
give to the statement we are not pre-
pared to say, that in the progress Of
the formation of the Foynes Railway,
|$one, laborers discovered, at small
ISdistance beneath the surface of the
earth, within about two miles Of As
skeaton a gignaatic skeleton eleven feet
in length. Beside the remains was
found vessel, with an ms cription on
it, indicating that something would
be found by digging deeper. Follow
ing this intilnation, they uncovered
another vessel, something resembling
bottle in shape, inscribed with le-
gend which directed that three drops
of the contents should be poured into
the mouth of the skeleton, whereupon
its owner would come to life again AL
though much doubling they followed
the Instructions; but on letting the
second drop Into the mouth, the skele-
ton began to stir, upon which the men
became so frightened that they took to
flight, expecting, as they ran, to be
pursued by the half resascitated giant.
The report of this strange story caused
such a sensation in the neighborhood
that the police had to close up the
grave, and thus the old Fenian giant
has been once more consigned to his
long slumber of many ages.
CAPT. JOHN S. N1cHoLAs.-This

Capt. Nicholas bid adieu to his ship
