mates and official digntaries we're present, be
sides many private citizens and Americans
Mr.. Buchanan made a speech, in which he
spoke with decided confidence Of an early and
satisfactory settlement of the American ques
ton. His remarks entirely dissipated all ap
prehensions of war between this country and
England The speech was loudly and enthu.
siastically cheered at repeated and frequent
intervals.
The excitement among the people regarding
war with the United States has almost entirely

on this score. 1t is a decidedly unpopular
subject with the people.

True Greatness.

Chief Justice Marshall was in the habit of 20.
ing to market himself, and carrying home bis
purchases. Frequently he would be seen
returning at sunrise, with poultry in one hand
vegetables in the other. On one Of these occa-
sions, a fashionable young man from the north,
who had removed to Richmond, was swearing q
violently because he could find no one to carry
home bis turkey.
Marshall stepped up and asking him where
he lived, "That is my way, and will take it
for you"
When they came to the house, the Young
man inquired, "What shall pay your"
"Oh, nothing" said the Chief Justice, "you
are welcome, it was on my way and no trouble"
"Who is that polite old gentleman, who
brought home my turkey for me 2n inquired the
young man Of bystander.
"That," replied be, ais John Marshall, Chief
Justice Of the United States

MIR. EyERETT,s LECrURE.

On Thursday night the room of the Smith
sonian Institution was crowded with ladies
and gentlemen, the attraction being the great
lecture Of Mr.. Everett on the character OF
Washington. For nearly two hours he held
his listeners spell-bound. Never before was
more attention paid to an orator. He was fire.
quently interrupted with applause, and, at the
conclusion of his literary effort, the clapping
of hands and stamping of feet was almost
deaiening. The lecture is to be repeated next
week in Baltimore, for the benefit Of the asso
citation of ladies who have combined for the
purchase of portion of Mount Vernon, the
land including the space where rest the re-
mains of the sage and hero whose leading
characteristics were, by Mr.. Everett, so beauti

THE ssTRICT NEUTRALITY" OF THE
wAsHINGToN aUNION pits GOOD
FAITH.

We almost feel that we have undertaken a
fruitless task in endeayoring to infuse into the
Washington Union the least regard for consis
tency or morality. Our efforts have been sin.
cere and honest. But we have well nigh ar
rived at the point Of abandoning our neighbors
to their idol, and TO let them alone! We have
tried to account for the infatuation in every
manner, even tracing it to lunacy, rather than
believe Of our neighbor so naughty a thing as
total disregard Of truth, pledges, or the rules
OF common fairness. Such disregard of
these properties, that 90 to make up an honest
journal, would place in coventry, among his
fellows the humblest horse jockey in the land.

extent, may account for the want of effect Of
our many and earnest appeals-do us the kind.

that the Washington Union committed itself to

Poor, unhoping sons of toll,
Tilers oe q barren soil,
That in tears do sow, again,
Year by year, TO reap in pain,
Plnched by hunger and by cold
Till your hearts in youth are old
Mourners, who have seen in dust
Crumble every hope and trust,
Snrsum Corda'
Ye who have 10 earth been trod,
And forgotten seem of God;
Nations, in whose life's warm tide
Is the royal purple dyed;
Poland that didst struggle on
Manfully, till name was gone;
Erin, that for years hast borne
Chains and stripes and bitter scorn,
Sursum Corda
God will yet reward your toll,
Patient tillers of the soil,
Ye who hunger He will feed;
Heal the wounds that inly bleed;
Strike from lordly brows the crown,
And the tyrant's throne cast down,
Then, ye tramped nations & hen
Shall ye rise and stand Ike men.

volumes on the ssProse" and sPoetryn of
America, scarcely fulfilling the design aimed
at by their compilers. We should doubtless
pardon much IN the volumes referred to upon
the score of the immense toll of the undertak-
ing; but the authors of the present work have
shown what upremitting industry aud profound
research can accomplish; and the Cyclopadia
Of American Literature must stand at the head
of its class, until we have newer and better.
The work is divided into periods-antire-
volutionary, revolutionary, and the present CEN
tury. Of these divisions, the revolutionary por-
ton is, we think, the most valuable and nte-
resting. In the biographies and extracts re-
lating to the representative minds of the period,
we have complete picture of the times, more
valuable, we believe, than can be found in any
American history. We have not space to speak
in detail of this, or any other portion of the
work. The reader must procure it, and find
for himself the striking passages. We have
been particularly pleased with the fair and
comprehensive notices of Southern writers in
the volumes. We here find many facts relating
to the old Virginia writers, especially, which
are not elsewhere in print The researches of
the Messrs. Duychinck seem to have been
pushed with the utmost diligence to the most
private sources and the result has been col
lection of ana upon Southern worthless, Of high
value and interest We cannot think the library
of any one, with taste for letters, complete
without the book. Its faults and shortcomings
are greatly oyer-balanced by its merits, and We
most cordially commend it 10 our readers.
The volumes are well printed in royal
octave, and contain numerous portraits and
views of colleges, ETC., in the main reliable,
among these we notice a history of William
and Mary College, with a view of the buildings
Of the University of Virginia, of North Carolina,
etc. H & s
Among the Southern writers noticed, we
observe the names of the fuckers, the Blands
Col. Byrd, Marshall, Dabney, Poe, Simms,
Legare, P. P. Cooke, etc. Not to mention
others of more recent date including several
Of our Richmond authors who have acquired
national reputation.

mittee" have been in session for several days

A Case for Public sympathy.

We cannot better subserve the noble pur-
pose Of a sorrowing father, than by the publica-
tion of the following letter of Governor Wise.
The suggestion of the Governor is judicious,
and we trust that the information sought for,
will be speedily forwarded, SO as to relieve the
anxious fears ofone who lost wife and children
by the ravages Of the yellow fever, and is now,
by unaccountable circumstances, deprived of
the consolng presence of another child.

those at Staunton, and also the Alabama
papers, to give circulation to the accompanying
facts and to aid the sacred wishes of bereayed

RICHMOND, (Va,) March "a, 1856.
DEAR SIN: The bearer Of this, Mr.. Samuel
Bains, is placed under peculiar circumstances
appealing to the sympathy of every feeling
heart The accompanying letter from the Rev.
Mr.. Hume, addressed to Mr. Fl. X. Ellyson,
vouches the fact, that he Mr. Hume, accom-.
panied by Mr.. Bains, the father, placed an in
fant male child, two years old, in charge of the
committee of Norfolk and Portsmouth orphans,
here at Richmond, on the l4th September,
1855. The committee here consisted of Messrs.
Robert Archer, w. Goddin, Luther. Libby, Thos.

Fl. K Elyson, George w. Munford, John NJ.
Gregory, James A. Cowardn, John P. Ballard,
d. Fl. London, John S. Caskie, and Joseph
Mayo. They it seems, placed the child with
twenty-seven others, at the place provided for
them by the committe, under care of q Mr..
Bagby. Strange to say, this child is now lost,
and the father has been hunting for it in vain.
advise him to ask those everywhere, who have
taken any of these children, to send descrip-

may see who probably has his babe. Please
give him square in your columns to aid his
search. Yours, truly,
