The most melancholy intelligence brought
by the steamer Nashville was that OF the
death of Mrs. Charlotte Nicol, formerly
Charlotte Bronte, and better known by her
assumed name Currer Bell, the author Of
Jane Eyre, Shirley, and Viletse. Few wri-
tiers ever acquired in so short time go
strong hold upon tie aympathes of the
public, and in noticing her death, we ieei
more as though We were mentioning the
loss of a personal friend than the des,h OF
one who was only known to Us by her WIZ
,ings Shirley and Jane Eyre recur to Us
and thousands Of others esreal personages,
and they viii continue TO do so TO thou
sands more long after the skilful hand which
60 excellently portrayed them has crumbled
into the dust to which we must all return.
The life Of Mrs Nieol was a sad one, and
the hardships which she encountered were
no, at all inferior to those experienced by
her own Lucy Stone. Her death created
a great sensation in the London literary
world, and We append to this imperfect no
tce the following brief extract from
lengthy article in the London Erami-
ner:
an so utter a seclusion as she lived in
in those dreary wlds where she wss OF
strong enough TO roam over the hills; in
that retreat where he studious father rarely
broke the silence-and there was no one
else TO do il; in that forlorn louise, planted
on the clay of the ehurehyard where the
graves ri her sisters were before her win
dow;in such a living sspulchre. her mind
could not but prey upon itself, and how il
did suffer, We see il in the mere painfulpor-
tons of her last novel, "Vilette." She
said, with change in her steady counte.
nance that she should feel very lonely when
her aged father died. But she formed new
ties after that. She married, and il is the
old isther who Survives To mourn her. He
knows, to his comfort, that il 10 not for
long. Others now mourn her, in domes-
tic sense; and as for the public, there can
be no doubt that pan. will be felt in the
midst Of the strongestin,erests Of the day,
through the heart oi Germany, where her
works are sinsnisriy appreciated, France
and Amer RIGA. that the 'Currer Bell no
so lately stole as shados into the field
cotemperary literature has alresdy become
shadow sgain vanished frem our view,
anu henceiorth haunting only the memory
OF the multitudes whose expectation wa.
Fixed upon her."

Psrsonal Appearance of the Apostles.

From 3 Paut'S expression, "beiDre ALL
Galatl ms, il IA, il is evident that his re-
buke Of Peter took place on some public
occasion.
The scene, though tightly mentioned, is
one OF the most remarkable in Sacrtd hisio-
~ /; and the mind naturally labors to pic
ture to Itself the appearance Of the two
men. II is therefore, at least, ailJWab e to
mention here that general mott n Of form,
and features OF the two apostles " hich has
been ha ded down in tradition, and was re-
presented by the early artists S.. Paul is
set before us as having the strongly marked

Ni,itsry Organization

Mr. EDITOR ITO any one reading the
accounts Of the late riots at Chicago 1t
must be apparent that the military force
called out, was the strong arm that aliayed
the ds,u, bance and stopped the ehuslon OF
blood. The presence Of the military also
saved Cincinnati, no doubt, from general
and disastrous riet but short time since.
There is all organized power in military
corps which no body OF undisciplined men
can have, therefore score or two OF eayo-
nets in the service of the Jaw have gene
raliy proved more than a match for hun
dreds Of men joined in miscellaneous rab-
Bile for the purpose of violating law and
order. This is one reason Why citizen
.oldiery should be looked upon with favor
by the public, especially in our large towns
There is another reason--wc think that
all organizations ought to be encouraged
(f not of doubtful te ndency) which iocalize
place and serve to attach its inhabitants
to it. Organizations OF this Kind are Pc
culiariy adapted 10 tLels th's XIV.

OsLY ONE MILE The Cincinnati
Railroad Record says and demonstrates,
that one mile saved in the length OF rail-
road : equal to nearly two hundred thou
sand dollars, in actual cash capital to the
fountry, Ia other words, a road betw cen
the same termini lol miles in length is
'oor!h two hundred thousand dollars less than
a road between the same terrsini only 100
miles long. In addition to this, is the ug-
grega'e time lost in travelling the one mile.
A strong argument in favor Of airline rail

The Other Side

In the extract which We made. day or
two ago, from Mr. Patton's speech, refer
ence was ma lie 10 letter Of Valentine
Heekler's a German citizen OF Richmond,
Virginia, which Mr., P. requested his audi
tors 10 read. We have net yet seen the en-
tire letter, but the fol wing paragraph
which We find in one Of ctr exchanges, gives
a pretty good idea OF its general eharac-
ter:
Mr. Valentine Heekler, German, now
residing in Richmond, has published let
ter, in vi lch he says: 'li was at my ma
tive home in Germany, ana an American
citizen wHs 10 cgme there and set himself
tor an Office, ! should not feel that he had
any right to complain of me and feel unklnd-
ly towards me. because prefer my own
eountryman TO him; and think it would be
very hard matter Tor an American to get
an Office whers came irom that was worth
anybody's having; and for that reason |
don't complain because Americans choose
TO have their country controlled by their
own people in preference to mine" Again
he says: ''As for proscri pton, | don't see
that. asa Germsn, am any more prescribed
by the Know Nothings, than, as Wing, |
was prescribed by the Democrats, And
in another place he says: II am under great
er obligations to the natives than am 10
foreigners-and therefore, mean to vote
with them. ! have been three times ruined
since have been here-twice BY fire aud
once by robbery-and have been three
times re-established i'm business. and every
time by the native Wings and Democrats;
and no lellow-coun.ryman OF mine every
lent me any aid in my distress, and, there
fore, they have no claim on me 10 support
them for Offices that, by the way, they will
never get: and ifany Of my countrymen are
weak and silly enough 10 lett the Democrats
use them IS tools for their own purposes
up 10 the time of the election, and then be
laughed at for their folly, they may do it,
but they don't catch me in any such trap.
