miss Hosmer, the sculptor.

A recent letter from Rome says:
Miss Hosmer is prosecuting her art with the
zeal Of one truly called to its noble mission,
and what she has already accomplished proves
that she has not mistaken her vocation. Her
husts of Medusa and Night are full of grace
and fine feeling, so excellent, indeed that the
former has already been several times repeated.
Two works in progress on larger scale are
the "Galatea" and Norma" which the artist
hopes to complete in the course Of the coming
two years, at the end of which term she pro-
poses to make visit to America The Norma
is already studied in clay, and may be seen at
the room Of the artist, al the studio Of Gibson,

character.

SENATOR HUNTERS SPEECH IN
PETERSBURG, VIRGINIA.

We surrender most of our space to-day to the
eloquent and able speech Of Senator Hunter OF
Virginia, recently delivered in Petersburg. The
Richmond Enquirer, in presenting il to its
readers says:
"At the request Of the Democratic Associa-
ton of Petersburg, Senator Hunter consented
to the publication Of the speech which he de-
livered in that city on the issues of the present
canvass. The speech was received with enthu-
siastic admiration by an immense concourse oil
people. The admiration Of those who enjoyed
the rare privilege Of hearing the address, will
be more than confirmed by the calm criticism
of him who studies it in the quiet of the closet.
There is not more eloquent appeal IN behalf
of religious liberty; there is not finer spec-
men of popular oratory in the literature of our
language"
The Boston Post in noticing the many able
speeches elected during the pending canvass
in Virginia, thus alludes to the speech OF MIR.
Hunter:
"Nobly are Virgmias statesmen contendlng
for the right; what State can show, In the polltl
cal line, public men of more brilliant talents
and sounder politics? Some of the speeches
made in this canvass would do honor to the best
days of the republic. Seldom is there thrown
off, for instance, more brilliant speech than
the late one of the profound and accomplished
Hunter; and other efforts, both speeches and
letters, for force of logic and pungency Of wit,
are seldom excelled Such well directed blows
as know-nothingism is receiving from such
hands, must sooner or later tell with the best
results on the whole country, and shiver the
miserable platform into fragments that never
win again be, gathered up"
We submit this mastery effort to our readers
without further comment and without apology
for devotng to it the columns of this issue OF
our paper. 1t is the speech Of a scholar, states
man, patriot and gentleman.

The refusal Of Governor Gardner to remove
Judge Loring, at the instance Of the crazy
Legislature Of Massachusetts, is the subject Of
favorable comment in most Of the journals pub
lished in both sections Of the country. We
have already expressed our own appreciation Of
the manly and independent stand taken by the
Chief Magistrate Of Massachusetts,.
But, jeeming it not unlikely that the Know
nothings of the South will indiscreetly and un-
Justly attempt to bolster up their sinking cause
by representing this as the evidence Of North
ern Know.nothing soundness and conservatism,
we avail ourselves Of the occasion to make a
few explanations and mention few facts in
reference to the subject.
Governor Garduer's act is the act Of a single
man. The act Of the Massachusetts, Legisla-
ture is the act Of that whole body, with few in
dividual exceptions. That Legislature is an
Aboitionized Know-nothing body, and its ac-
ton is the authoritative exponent of Northern
Knownothing sympathies and purposes What
Governor Gardner did, was done against the
anxious wishes and remonstrances Of the Leg
slature, his priyy council, and the whole herd
of Know-nothing fanatics. 1t we're as wise to
argue that all the people of..Sodom we're good
people because Lot was faithful, as that the
Massachusetts, Know.nothings are sound, be-
cause Governor Gardner made the decision on
which we comment. We much fear, although
he has by this one act entitled himself to be
compared to Lot, that his fate will more re-
semble that of Lots oife. We fear that re-
penting of his rashness, in opposing the cur
rent Of fanaticism, he will "look back" and be
"turned into pillar Of salt"
However, we give him full credit for his man
ly conduct. Yet this fact should be remem-
bered that Governor Gardner, who is both an
anti-slavery man and q Know-nothing, did not
act from consideration or regard for the SOUTH
lie is against the South.

ARKANSAS GOLD DIscovERIEs.--The ramon.
ed discovery of rich gold mine on the Arkan-
sas has created quite an excitement on the
borders of Missouri. A letter from Springfield,
in that State, dated the 30th ultimo, says:
Yesterday fifteen or twenty of our citizens
started for Neosho, where they are to join a
company Of near one thousand persons, all
bound for the Witchetaw Mountains, about four
hundred miles from this place, and up the
Arkansas river. Several persons, residents Of
the county of Newton, have recently returned,
some Of whom are said to have realized three
thousand dollars in so days digging and wash
ing. Quite an excitement prevails here, and
another company is to 90 out as soon as the
guides and pilots return"
