Russian Courtesies Towards American
Officers.

The statement that the three officers OF
the American army despatched to the
Crimea by the President, for the purpose
of observing the Improvements in the
military sciences, have been refused the
necessary sanction of the Russian Gov.
ernment, having first been refused by the
French Emperor, is, the Washington
Union says, a fabrication. A private
letter 10 the editor Of that paper says
that the three officers alluded TO (Major
DelaGeld, Capt. Mordecai, and Capt.
McClellon,) had been received with
distinguished honor, by the Representa-
tives Of the Gear Alexander, so far as
they had advanced at last accounts
On their arrival at Berlin, they were vel
coined and entertained by the Russian
Minister in the most cordial manner
and when they reached Warsaw, Prince
Pasklewi,ch greeted them with splendid
hospitality. He gave them grand re-
view of the troops, and ordered the en-
gincer officer to show them the lorlilica
tons, &c. They had been offered
choice between an invitation from tht
Emperor, first, TO visit ST. Petersbufsh
or to be expressed TO the Crimea. The.
accepted The first, and have arrived a
ST. Petersburgh, and doubtless have re
ceived before this time such facilities 10
the prosecution of their object as III

The Old Oaken Bucket.

TmIs most popular song was written
hy Samuel p. Woodwork, while yet he
was Journeyman Printer, working in
an office at the corner Of Chamber and

his lips, declared that Mallory's eau de

Extravaganza.

A contemporary, who is posted up in

"WhIle the business men Of America

work harder, and many more hours, than
in any other country in the world, their
wives and daughters are ten times more
idle, moro extrovagant and moro use.

1t strikes US that there is some truth
in that extract. Mr.. Brocha, Of the

Individual Responsibility.

The moment man parts with moral
independence-thc moment no judges Of
duty, not from the inward voice, but
from the interest and will Of party,
the moment he commits himself TO a
leader or body, and winks at evil be.
cause divisions would hurt the cause,
the moment he shakes off his particular
responsibility, because he is but one Of
thousand or million, by whom the
evil is done-that moment he parts with
his moral power. He is shorn Of the
energy Of single.hearted faith in the right
and the true. He hopes from mans
policy what nothing bur loyalty to God
can accomplish. He substitutes coarse
weapons, forged by mans wisdom, for
celestial power-Channing.

The presence Of an ex.Prcsident Of

event which deserves passing note.-
Mr.. Fillmore looks even a younger

the officers Of one Of his successors.-

the following strong remarks on this

Picture Of a Gentleman.

Governor Morris, Of Mcrsisiana, n gentleman b,
lr,l education, and the most loy bearing, beint
asked for his definition Of gentleman, replied by re
pen,ing this psalm;
IT'S lie whose every thought and deed
Dy rule Of virtue moves;
Whose generous tongue disdains to speak
The thing his heart dispfoves.
Who never did slander forge,
His neighbor's fame 10 wound
Nor hcarken to a false report,
by malice whispered round.
Who vice. in all its pomp and power,
Can trust with just neglect;
And piety, though clothed in rags,
Religiously respect.
Who TO his pl,ghted word and truth
Has ever firmly stood;
Aud though he promise to his loss
He makes his promise good.
Whose soul in usury disdains
His treasures to employ;
Whose 10 rewards can ever bribe
The guiltless to destroy.
II is stated that this psalm was copied by Thomn
