larger space will be given to miscellaneous

as they say to make the best possible fam

most eminent contemporary genius, talent
and humor;
The general character of " Putnam's
Monthly has become so widely known
throughout our country that it is almost
superfuous to say anything in Its praise We
think no literary Magazine has been ever
published in America which can be com

will follow it under the new arrangement,
We hope to find increasing ability and use

The Capitol of Vermont.

We are indebted 10 Hon. +. p. Walton,
publisher of the Legislative Journals of the
last session, for copy of a volume bearing
the above title-and containing journal of
the proceedings and debates OF the General
Assembly at the Special Session, Feb. 1857.
1t is handsomely printed volume Of 800
pages, embellishcd with an engraved fronts
piece representing the former Capitol of the
State Besides this, there are in the body
of the work two handsome cuts, one repre-
senting the Capitol as 1t appeared after the
fire and another representing las we sup
pose) the structure which is to take its
place, 1t is difficult to compare Justly the
architectural effect of the two from want of
a just representation Of the steep and lofty
hill which rises abruptly few feet in the
rear and to such height as to dwarf the
structure at it's base.
We have never seen the two fairly repro
scented in any drawing of the State House,
All draughtsmen, for some reason, take
care to flatten the hill pretty effectively.
The representation OF the new building in
dioates a much lOftier dome than the one on
the old one, We never considered the dome
on the'iormer building any ornament to it,
and We think that many who look at the
appearance as represented after the fire
giving the outline without the dome) will
say as was reported to have been said by a
gentleman of Montpelier after the conhagra,
ton" tho building never looked SO well
before" We do not believe that in that
place any building with dome will look
as well as one would without one.
We hope Mr., Walton will be literally re-
warded for his enterprise in getting out the
volume before us. The cost of the plates
he says, exceeds the amount of subscrip-
tions made for it, 10 subscribers only

Washington Correspondence Of the n. 7, Courier.
Gen. Cass is expected to return from De.
troit about the LIST of July. The President
is quietly revising the diplomatic list and
will probably not make any changes until
the end of June. The numerous hints given
to applicants, have driven them from Wash
ington, and there never was less personal
pressure for Office than now. 1t is stated,
as a remarkable fact, that the President
yesterday took his evening walk without
meeting an Office. seeker.
The Consulslip to Beyrout, in Syria, and
several others Of from two to four thousand
year, are vacant, and loss of salary is
running on which is causing an alarming
saving to the Treasury, at the cost Of worthy
gentlemen who have Uttered for the party
in time and purse.
Mr. j. W. Forney, ex-Clerk. and confden-
tial candidate for Senator in Pennsylvania,
is said to have declined the offer of Consul
shin to Liverpool. This Observation-Disclosures
| unusual in democrat is to be rewarded by
public dinner in Washington. If there
were gratitude among politicians, the Pre-
sident would retain in the Liverpool Consul
ship Nathaniel Hawthorne, who was bio
grapher to Gen PIERCE for the universal
odum which Pierce incurred gave the no.
mination to Mr.. Buchanan, as most his

allowed to stand monument Of mercy
Should he again lend his literary name to
political purpose, he would have fine
topic for another scarlet letter. The muir
ders in Kansas are written in blood, and the
trea cherry of Pierce to his pledges will make
the muse of history blush.

lege few evenings since
j, G. Redington, having made com
mendable effort to mind his own business,
incurred the displcasuro of some men in

his head. Mr.. r, leads the choir of the
Congregational Church at NJ, and the base
transaction occurred the night previous to

In the village of Pena buildings were swept
from their foundations and some of them
carried i'll the air, others unroofed, and
others torn into atoms. A number of new

and four children-were killed by being
struck by falling timbers, or carried into
the air and thrown upon the ground, Sew

some of whom may die from the effects of
their injuries. 1t is believed that great
damage was also inflicted in other places,
but full accounts have not yet been receiy-

At Louisville, Ky, on the night of the
same day, one of the most violent storms
ever experienced in that latitude prevailed

suredly find need hereafter for all

its tremendous power. If freedom disre-

The Union still in Danger.

Hc butOH sti''
Col. JEFF. Davis, Mr.. Pierces Secretary OF
War, has been making speech at Jackson
Mississippi, in which he said "the great
BATTLE" which was fought in 1856, is to be
fought over again in 1860. lie
advises the South to prepare for secession,
to erect armories and manufactures OF
ammunition. He regards South Carolina
as the most patriotic of the States The
following is specimen of the enlarged and
national views OF Gen. Davis
lie Colonel Davis) was no alarmist' he
had contempt for panics and scorn oil
panic-makers but he would tell them that
in 1860 the monster crisis was to be met.
Then shall American patriotism pass the
ordeal Of FIRE. lie hoped for the best but
sense of danger imposed upon him the
duty of warning them TO prepare for the
worst. The time had been when the ruling
newspapers of the opposition would have
denounced him as a traitor for utterlng this
sentiment. 1t was time when patriotism
was construed to be the submission to degra-
dation and wrong for the sake of Union
whose soul was perishing away, and which
was being perilled only by such submis-
| SION
So, after all, the Union is not saved by
the election of Buchanan. The catastrophe
is only postponed it was not enough tt
elect Democratic President to avert the
crisis. The crisis is continual, or at Least
rccurs whenever threat is necessary FOL
the success of the Democratic party. The
Virginia papers, soon after the election
plainly avowed that the threats Of secession
were only made to frighten the North, and
pointed with pride to the success Of that poll
CIV. 1t is to be tried over again. The
North is regarded as capable of being fooled
in the same way as often as it is necessary
for the interests Of the Democratic party.
