A Brutal SANDER.

We are glad to see that some of the Northern
journals have the manliness to denounce with hon
est indignation the following paragraph in a late
address of G. w. Curtis, editor of Putnam's Mag
azine,) at Middletown (Ct.) University
therefore in slave States there is no literature,
no art, no progressive civilization. Manners are
fantastic and fierce brute force supplants moral
principle; freedom ofspeech is suppressed because
the natural speech Of man condemns slavery; q
sensitive vanity is called honor, and cowardly
swaggcr, chivalry; respect for women is destroyed
by universal RIGHTEOUSNESS lazy indifference is
called gallantry, and impudent familiarity, cordial
ity."
We scarcely know how to deal with such SIAN
ders as these. The author is person of some lit
erary pretensions, and probably does not err from
ignorance, He must know the whole of this charge
to be false. Such wholesale SANDERS ought to re-
coil upon the inventor, if public sentiment in the
North retains any respect for truth or decency.
The Abolitionists have generally admitted the
dignity and decorum of Southern manners, though
they have falsely attributed it to the pistol Such
as they are, we would not exchange them for the
coarse, abrupt style, which no doubt Mr. Curtis
regards as the height of good breeding, or the
quisite polish and respect for woman, which
crowds the porches and streets in front OF hotels
with well dressed vagabonds, staring every decent
woman who passes, out of conference.-the
regard to the universal RIGHTEOUSNESS of Southern
men, we have only to say that, OF all quarters from
whence such an unmitigated and wicked SANDER
could proceed, il comes with the worst possible
grace from aregion where the seduction of females
is carried on as regularly as any branch Of mercan-
tile employment, and to such an extent, that in
one Of the cities, there are not less than $4,000
professional harlots One of these adulteries and
Opponents, which the Freesoil and Free-love
organs chronicle every day, is an event of such
rare occurrence in the South, that when it does
unfortunately happen, it is remembered for half a
century. 1t is fact worthy the consideration OF
this slanderer, that two divorces in ten years is
about the average of divorces in the saveholding
State Of Virginia, in which Fremont wasbegotten;
and that South Carolina, to some of whose ladies
he owes his education, has never granted divorce
since the Revolution We presume that most of
the other Southern States can show similar
record, and one which will compare to advantage
with any of the Free-soil or Free-love States now
supporting Fremont. As for Curtis, we entertain
no doubt, from the above paragraph, that he is
himself depraved and licentious man, for no
other could conceive and utter such base and inde-
cent falsehoOds.-Richm Dispatch.

THE BURNING OF THE MOUNT VERNON Horst
More A,rests.--In consequence of Geographic
despatch received from Cape Island yesterday, the
Fifth Ward police arrested Thomas and Margaret
Thornton, on the arrival of the steamboat from
Cape May. The parties were arrested on the
charge of having set fire to the Mount Vernon
Hotel. The Alderman held the accused in 81 900
each for further hearing. There is no evidence
against them at present except the Geographic
despatch referred to.--Phila. BuI

Oceanic telegraph.

The Cork Constitution, of September q abiding
to the United States steamer Arctic, Captain Ber-
ryman in Queenstown harbor, remarks:
"She Is the bearer of Lieutenant Strain, of Da-
rien notoriety, and Captain Bergman who has
before and now again, crossed from Newfoundland
to take soundings of the whole Atlantic coast
from st. Johns to Valencia with the view to as
certain the probable success with which tele-
graphic cable may be laid between these points,
The result is satisfactory. For some fifty or sixty
miles from st. Johns, and again this side is a
bank, varying from twenty-five to one hundred
and twenty fathoms. Between these there is a
grand plateau, nearly level, the bottom soft, COM
posed of shells so fine that only the microscope
can discover them, each shell perfect in its minute
beauty, proving the absence of currents at the
bottom, and with due Difference to Stephenson and
others, the want of that vast pressure which was
to be so dreaded, and exhibiting, at every point,
not only capacity, but the most perfect capacity
for the very use for which il is required. The
whole apparatus for arriving at these facts is most
perfect. Steam power, separate from those of
the ship. works the axle from which the sounding
line is paid out Soundings have been taken
to the depth of 81, 900 fathoms.
"Most careful drawings have been made by Mr..
Van de Berg, ito whom has been assigned the spe-
cial post of draughtsman,) of the soundngs, show
ing profile of the bottom of the sea with the
greatest accuracy. There can be no doubt that
communications between Ireland and ST. Johns, a
distance Of l,640 geographical miles, may be re-
gsrded as certainty. 1t is in the hands of small
American company, but though small, if its men,
bers possess but 1.-THE of the energy of their p
resentative, Mr.. Cyrus w. Field who is also here
making every inquiry, it viii be enough TO over
come every difficulty. Captain Bergman laughs at
laying the cable. He asks but ship large enough,
and he will undertake to do it at ten miles an hour
right across"

In relation to my vote for Speaker wish to say
a word or two. The Americans bit upon Henry
m. Fuller, OF Pa, as their candidate. Well, we
battled day after day. without the sign of an cleo
ton. The Democrscycou have elected Speaker
in five minutes if they would, but no, true TO their
instincts they wanted the whole hog or none. We
refused to mix with the Democracy, who through
out the whole fight, endeavored TO coax us over to
their side. / stuck to Fuller from first to last,

they state they are washed of Whiggery.
Mr. Pierce says that river and harbor improve

THE AXE FALLs.-Sometime since it was charged
that the Buchanan party at Washington had issued
circular, copy Of which was in the public prints
calling on the postmasters to furnish lists of GER
tain specified characters in their respective local.
ties, in order to their being supplied with proper
Buchanan documents.
The same also called for a certain per centum on
such officers salaries, to aid in the expenses of the
Buchanan campaign. This was all pronounced a
forgery BY the Buchanan men. f. L, Bramblet
Esq, for many years the postmaster at Liberty,
Miss, has just been removed. In the postscript to
letter announcing his removal, after many years
service, he says:
IS. have not yet sent off the names of the
foreigners in this vicinity, lately required nor
did think that could afford to set aside por-
ton of the small income of the office to assist in
sending Democratic documents to them. Whether
such instructions were ever issued from the Post
Office Department not, one thing is certain, the
menace accompanying the refusal has certainly
fallen upon me--the threat that upon Don-compli-
ance with the order would be removed, has GER
tainly been executed. Il. L. b.

authority from headquarters, did not the dismissal

Parodi, Tiberini, and Paul Julien.

The most remarkable concentration of musical
talent ever witnessed in this city, viii take place
this evening at the National Theatre.
A grand concert will be given by Parodi, Tibe-
rn Paul Julien, Bernardo, and Maurice Strakosch.
Parodi is a name so familiar to the amateurs OF
Washington, that it is quite unnecessary to en-
large upon her SURPRISING excellence as an artist
of the highest rank.
Tiberini, the new tenor, is pronounced by the
best judges in Philadelphia, to be unsurpassed by
any of his countrymen who have visited our shores.
Paul Julien, who accompanied Sontag at her
concerts in this city in 1853, is known throughout
the Union as a musical prodigy and consummate
master of the violin.
Bernardo is reported to be a baritone of great
power and excellence.
AS for our friend Strakosch, the unrivalled pi
anist, the whole world knows his extraordinary
merit, both as a man and an artist; and we only
regret that Madame Strakosch, whose mere ap
pearance charms every heart, should not on this
occasion accompany him. But as her absence is
inevitable, from cause that will occur even in the
best regulated families, we must submit with resig
nation.
Another Concert will be given at the National
by the same troupe, tomorrow night.
