Gen. Cass and Hon. Howell Cobb.

A correspondent of the Journal Of Commerce
furnishes that journal with the following brief
but striking descriptions of Gen. Cass and Hon.
Howell Cobb in their offices at Washington
Let us enter the old State department, through
whose halls have passed the feet of so many elut-
ncnt men, from Jefferson down to Cass. His
room is in the second story, East end. There Is
nothing TO distinguish the locality from any other
room but q series Of engraved portraits OF former
Secretaries. \ messenger is ready to hand in
your name to the Secretary, who receives oil who
call at certain hour was cordially received
by the venerable statesman, who usually comes to
his office about III A. NJ, who executes much OF his
private business ( mean his official composltionsY
at his own house. Few papers appear on his ta-
BILE, much of the manual documentary labor being
performed by his clerk in the adjacent room,
with which his own communicates by u door usu-
ally open. To him the Secretary frequently
dictates You may be aware that tho Generals
handwriting Is among the most nlegible ON re-
cord, presenting quite y contrast to The minute
dstinctness OF that of tho late John Quincy Adj
anis who wrote with II slow care, Probably
Gen Cass writes with u rapidily similar to that
with which he talks. His wig Is neatly adjusted
to his venerable head thus keeping OH the idea
OF extreme age. There is indeed natural activ-
ity in his appearance while engaged in converse
tion though it is impossible for most men above
seventy to move about with the agility OF youth
or the vigor of middle age. What deep iaterna-
tional work the venerable statesman may be pri-
vatoy engaged about o. course did not pre-
sumc to inquire The Assistant Secretary; MIR.
Appleton, occupies the room On the opposite side
of the entry.
Now let MS look into the Treasury department.
A few steps South brings us to that building the
greater part Of which Is new, aud more highly
ornamentcd A long colonade OF lofty columns
adorns its front, which looks to the East. AS
cending the first flight Of marble stairs we pass
through II long entry, on each side OF which are
rooms populous with clerks, and ut the extreme
end of which may be found waiting two or three
messengers, one Of whom announces yonr name
to the Secretary in the adjacent room. The via
itor is received with true Southern pOlteness by
gentleman in blue, of short stature, scarcely of
middle age, with round, full, healthy face, and
good conditioned form to correspond. His hair
lies in short curls around his pleasant head he is
instantly socable, prompt In question and an
swer, and with urbanity of speech aud address
mnges good degree of decision, nll the while
indicating himself to be man OF free, natural
and noble feelings, aud one in whom the love OF
humanity is not eXtinguished by the severe expo
ricnce of political life. Ii IL Howell Cobb, the
Georgian, who may be considered quite All Orna-
ment to Mr.. Buchanan's cabinet, of which he
must be the youngest member or his colleagues
more anon.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1857-12-12

A PRETTY PIcrUnE-The following gem is ta-
ken from an exchange. Can any one tell whence
it came. The author deserves the credit:
We are told that far down through the ocean,
fair white shells are constantly falling, like
flakes in breathless winter day, that strew with
downy drifts the prairie of the sea.
So the rude wrecks and the unsurrendered
dead must in the course of years receive silent
burial, as if one should hide sleeper's form with
leaves Of Flies, and the winds should pass them
by unstirred.
This shower is made of microscopic shells,
they say but, in reality, the old miniatures Of
nameess tribes that once held atoms of the life
that fills creation the old armor of warriors
fought their sparkle Of day and died now,
through the dense heaven Of the sea, let gently
down upon that plain. No storms arc there, no
change of seasons, and no murmur Of the world.
Along that prairie they will lay the telegraph
ic nerve, and through those downy drifts the
quick intelligence will come and 60 Through
that dumb realm will pass the brothers. call to
brother, round the world, and syllables of love
and hope will pulsate like heart within the
rough Atlantic
Weekly Trinity journal., 1857-12-12
The Australian aoaaiter,

In Australia the squatter. removed from soci-
ETY. aud the rclnomens Of life, becomes careless
of his appearance and manners nay. he becomes
needless even of those comforts of lifo which are
within his roach. With hundreds of cattle, he
has no butter or cheese, and very often no milk
With rich soil around him, he has no garden
not any vegetable or fruit to drive away the
scurvy. With grain, he has no poultry with a
gun, he has no game with hooks and grasshop'
pcrs, he has no fish. Make hole with your toe,
and throw peach stone in, or drop one on the
ground, in three years it bears fruit stick vine
cutting into the earth, and in fifteen or sixteen
months, clusters of fine grapes arc hanging from
its boughs aud yet the squatter seldom does the
one or the other.
He certainly has good reasons for not making
his station too attractive but IL cannot be de-
MED that his life is often much more cheerless
and comforleas than IL need be- Few Of the sta
tlons are adorned by Il female Wherever this IL
the case great Improvement is perceptibe.
The squatters dwelling is frequently hut no
better than those of his men ; ho smokes his short
black clay pipe breakfast tardily appears, con
ssting of tea damper, and huge pile of mutton
chops If his is shocp station, or salt beef, If
cattle station. After breakfast, he lights his pipe
again and salies forth on horseback. Ills dress
consists Of broad -brimmed straw hat, blue
shirt, iustian. or some such trousers supported by
belt around tho waist and ankle boots his
heels armed with spurs, while in his belt, or
in holsters, he probably has pistols, In his hand
he carries the universal stock-whip, the handle
two feet long, and the lash twelve or sixteen feet
and giving forth sounds that startle the silence Of
tho forest. During the day, his pipe is re-ghted
at every hut or fire stick he passes, or II he sees
none Of these, he has recourse to his flint and
steel
Probably he Is ont till sunset without eating
anything, and when he returns he supa, us he
breakfasted on damper and mutton chops, or salt
beef not both. but ono or the other, according to
the stock he breeds. II at home to dinner, his
fare is the same and even II he calls on neigh
Dor ten or twelve miles of, he finds no variety
Ten TO one he has no books, or no taste for read
ing therefore, he smokes his pipe till bedtime,
aud then turns in.
