Prof. Silliman of Yale College, has writ
ten letter to Senator Hale, which is pub
lished, excusing and indicating himself,
for the part he has recently taken, in the
matter of the ''Sharp's Rifle contribution to
the Kansas emigrants." We are sorry that
so learned and eminenta scholar should ever
have acted so as to require him to make
such an explanation. How much better for
him to have kept aloof from all such mat
tiers His present vindication will not re-
instate him in the good opinion ofthousands
who have lamented to see him leave the
path of science for the thorny road of poll
tics-nor will his reasons be considered as
sound or tenable. 1t is but proper to add,
however, that he declares that whilst he
does not choose to adopt the cherished in
stitution Of the South, he will use no means
against it, but those of reason, argument,
and moral influence" -and we are sorry to
add, that the abolitionists of the North gen
orally, say precisely the same thing. We
hope, however, that Prof. Silliman, will
never again take part or lot with those who
with such professions on their lips, are con-
stantly acting as if they were the sworn enc
mics of the people of portion of their own
country .-Alerant7ria Gazette

O B 1T u A Il Y.

Departed this life on the 18th instant, at his
residence near Newport, Charles county, after a
severe illness of three weeks, ALEA[US LAM
CASTER, in the 62d year Of his age.
Seldom indeed does it fall to the lot of the liv-
ing to behold one called from their midst so uni
versally esteemed and beloved as was the deceas-
ed He possessed in an eminent degree those
amlable traits of character which endeared him
to all coming within the range of his acquaintance.
In all the varied relations of le he discharged his
duty with scrupulous accuracy and fidelity, al
ways acting up to that golden rule of the Gospel,
"Do unto others you would that they should do
Into you.' The community in which he lived
will find in his death serious loss, but it is upon
that bereaved family over which he has so long
diffused the sweet odour of his love and virtues,
that his death will fall most heavily. His was
the light that lighted up their path, his the voice
that cheered them through life. AS the gentle
vine weds the strong oak Of the forest and twines
about it its soft and plant tendrs, did the WIFE
and children of the deceased recline upon him for
protection and support. They have sustained in
his death a loss which can never be repaired; but
the recollection of his many sanity virtues and
the well-grounded hope that He was ushered into
the presence of his Judge, not unprepared, will
greatly sweeten their bitter chalice Of affliction.
Pure and upright through life, as soon as the hand
of sickness touched him his first to look
after the interests of his soul, pre-monished almost,
it seems, that his hour had come. With uncom-
planning resignation he yielded to the viii Of his
Divine Master, believing that as fire purifes gold,
the excruciating pains which for three weeks he
endured, would serve to prepare him for an intro
duction to that place where nought detiled can
enter. He indeed may well exclaim,
go grave! where is thy victory?
o death! where is thy sting:'
Then why should wife, child, or friend drop upon
his grave the unavailing tear, when their loss is
his eternal gain.
sweep not for those
| Who sink within the arms of death,
Ere yet the chilling wintry breath
OF sorrow o er them blows;
But weep for them who here remain,
The mournful heritors of pain. - q.

Baron Brunow has made known to the
French government that the Introduction on
Russian mobiles visiting France has been re-
moved.
The Journal DIES DeJats has an article ex-
pressing its great qualification at the conclu-
sion of peace, and expressing the belief that
in peace, as in war, the alliance between
England and France will continue.
1t is said that an expedition is fitting out
at Toulon to operate, if necessary, against
Madagascar, some differences existing be-
tween France and that government.
Most of the bishops of France have issued
,pastoral letters to their focks on the occa-
sion of the birth of the imperial prince, re-
commencing them to thank Providence for
this happy occurrence, and to invoke the
blessing of heaven upon the future ruler of
France.
RUSSIA. imperial manifesto was is
sued at ST. Petersburg on the LIST inst. rela-
tive to the conclusion of peace. 1t says,
that ''though the war was not sought by
Russia, it had been waged with great ener-
gy by the Russian people. The rights of
the Christians in the East were assured !;
thus the object of the war had been attain
ed. Special arrangements have been made
to prevent collisions between Turkish and
Russian vessels in the Black Sea, and new
line of frontier had been agreed upon in
Bessarabia."
Accounts from Cronstadt assert that a.
squadron was ordered to be got ready for the
middle of May, but for what purpose was
not publicly known. It was rumored that
its object was to convey the Emperor and
one of his brothers on visit to France and
England. This report was strengthened by
the fact that orders had been given to en-
gage pilots well acquainted with the coast of
both these countries.
A Brussels journal says that the corona
ton Of the Gar will take place about the
31st August, with great pomp.
SPAIN-Government has bestowed the
order of the Golden Fleece on the Imperial
Prince of France; a high functionary is
to carry the insignia to Paris. The rumor
of General Concha having been removed

The Wheat Crop.-From our observa-
ton in this county, and from the statements
of gentlemen who have lately travelled
through several of the lower counties of the
State, we are convinced that the prospects
OF the wheat crop were never more gloomy
than at this time. Four-ffths of the crop
were seeded too late, and consequently suf-
fered much from not having acquired root
sufficient to withstand the effects of the win
ter. The very harsh and dry weather which
now prevails has prevented much wheat that
might have recovered under more favorable
circumstances from being resuscitated,

THE FRUIT. The peach trees in this Vi
entity have suffered much from the past win
ter, and a very considerable proportion OF
them in low grounds have been killed en-
tirely. In orchards of some age the inju-
ry has been much greater than in the young
orchards and nurseries. Trees which bore
well, and especially those which overbore
last year, have suffered the most Where
the aeood was vigorous and not injured by
the cold the first buds seem to be sound, and
we may expect some fruit, but not full
crop. It appears to be the same with the
apricot in regard to the fruit. Where the
trees were not killed the promise of fruit is
fair, but the most vigorously growing trees
were those that suffered the most. Our
loss was four out of six-four vigorous trees
killed and two Of slow growth uninjured.
