SPA, Aug. :, lcJ1.
In my penultmate letter from Paris, think 1
aid something Of the weather. If not, Lfailed to
express my feelings and failed in correspondents
duty to treat Of the foremost topic of town talk.
No matter how idle il is to say to your neighbor
what your neighbor knows already aud what he
will repeat by way Of response, one cannot help re-
marking on the weather when it is remarkable.
Obse,yatiors on the extraordinary heat seemed to
ooze out involuntarily from every painting mouth
last week; correspondents and feuiletonist' wrote
Of it al epgth; felt afraid that should be doing
the same; and yet, as the Thermometer had not
marked higher than 9jo in the shade, to send let
ter about such temperature to New.Yorker' for
August reading would be sending Goals to Newcas-
tie For change of air and theme, took cars then,
and came out to Spa last Sunday. 1t is nine hours
ride from Paris-after reaching Namur through

PepiDster to this place, passes through narrow

MORE AsrI.SLAvERY DISTURBANCE IN KESTUcKY.
We have been informed that the Rev. j. g. Fee.
the celebrated Anti-Slavery preacher in Kentucky,
welt into Rockborth County-the county from which
he driven two three weeks since--on last Sab
bath to listen to aseImon delivered by Presbyterian
minister. The rabbe at Mount Vernon, hearing he
was in the county, started TO seize him. Mr.. Fee,
hearing Of their approach, escaped into Lsurel
County and, by travelling late in the night reached
plnce Of safety, whence, by travelling on Monday
night he reached home on Tuesday morning. The
mob had expressed determination TO follow him there
and he was preparing 10 arm himself. They hunted
him all Sunday night and till 10 o'clock on Monday.
but being on the wrong track were unable 70 mad MN.
The Rev. j. M. Mellain, a graduate Of Oosrin, who
has been preaching in that vicinity, has had his life
threatened if be did not leave the region. The mob
mostly poor whites, who own no slaves, but are
excited by liquor and encouraged by two or three
Shareholders. This is in poor section of the State,
and net than one in forty OF the men have any
interest in slaves. For reason G.. M. Clay has
avowed bis want OF sympathy with the position Nr.
Fee has assumed and has said he could not support
him in it. This has probably had its effect on the
mob. cincinnati Gazette.

An EXTENSIVE FAMILY IN NIRGlsIA.-We lean
from sur friend A. Scatterday, OF this CITY, who has
lust returned from visit TO our neighbonng County
of WetZel of the existence OF most remarkable lam
ily in that neighborhood. MIR. s., in his peregrnA'
tons over the county, observed that in almost every
precinct there lived three or four families by the name
Of Morris and having some anxiety TO learn zoe extent
of the family, made inquiry, aud was directed 10 the
mother Of the whole tribe for information having been
previously told that she still lived, though upward OF
si wears Of age. Mr.. s. interrogated the good old
lady politely and gently, and succeeded in ascertain.
ing that che was the mother OF % children II sons and
4 daughters. She has III grandchildren, llo great.
grandchildren ind great great grand child, az
with the exception Of five dead-two girls and three
boys now living in the one neighborhood. One u
her has l6 children, one H. and another III. One
of the girls is the mother Ut II children, and another
Of 49, all the rest of them produced between five and
seven. One of the sons, who is quite old man,
lives within miles Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, but never railroad track until few
days ago. The father, grandfather aud greatgraod
father Of this whole kingdom Of Morises died at the
age Off, twenty-one years ago. The y sons and
daughters all lived to be grown-up aud women.
We venture to assert that this universal family stands
without parallel in point of fruitfuness The Old
lady sorry to say that two OF the girls were never
married, and that three of the boys We're similarly un-
fortunate. Theyare represented to be quiet, molten.
sye people entirely free from the small vices which
usually beset humanity: there are no drunkards 10
the family and few of them make Of prlfane Ian
guage. Their conduct and course Of life is invariably
Characterized by honesty, uprghtness and strict integ
rty. We challenge the world to produce another
such family az the Mcrrises. Wheeling Intel.

were perfectly round. Of mlkish wilderness, most OIL

blow was needed crush them altogether, the storm
was the most severe that the inhabitants Of the neigh

We have shown that fancy in his recent
decision in the bred Scott case has rendered
. judgment exactly contrary to that before
rendered in case precisely similar, as to the
material point,--that he stands upon the re-
cords Of his Court as deciding upon both
sides of the same question. Some shallow
quibblers reply, that it is nothing strange or
improper for man to revise his opinion and
reverse his judgment. True. But we choose
10 consider that an opinion in favor Of Free
dom is as likely to be right as one in favor Of
Slavery. We choose to consider that the
former decision, which confirms the previous
and unvarying decisions of his Court, under
the auspices of such men as Marshall, Story,
etc. 10 as likely to be right as the opinion Of
. bare partizan majority, which reverses the
decisions OF half a century. If the former
was wrong, We choose to think that possibly
the latter may be. II it was right to seek a
reversal Of the former, and yield il only tenn
porary obedience until opportunity offered to
snnul it, we choose to treat the latter exactly
In the same manner. And while we arc
bound to regard the decision Of just so much
OF the case as was before the Court, that is,
the point of citizenship, and that alone, As
Law, like Judges Mclean and Curtis we choose
to regard the balance of the decision as no
Law at all, possessing no binding force, and
worthy only Of the scorn and contempt Of
freemen; and we shall assiduously and unrc-
mittingly labor for the reversal of the iuds-
ment upon every point. Flunkies, trimmers,
towards and slaveocrats we expect will do
otherwise.

that out-spoken and fearless statesman,
Charles Sumner, will be grati6ed to learn
that his sea voyage has greatly benefited him.
When he went abroad, he could not walk
without difficulty, and to rise from his chair
was painful effort. The sea air, sea sick
ness, and entire rest, have had such an effect
upon him that at the date Of letter written
near the close Of his voyage ont, be was able
TO walk the deck for hours, and the painful
sense OF oppression upon the brain caused
by the least intellectual exertion, seemed to
have entirely disappeared.
