DEATH OF JUDGE BUTLER.

Since our last, the mournlnl intelligence
of the death Of our venerable Senator in
Congress, ANDREW pICKENs BUTLER, has
reached us. 1t WAS not unexpected, rs the
dispatch which We copied last week in ref
ercnce to his illness, had, in part, prepared
his State and his Country, for the sad event
which they arc now called upon tn deplorc

his country, is conclusive, that the loss

But i'll, indeed, could such light, at this
time, be spared, and the mournful truth
forces itself upon us, that but few, il any
such, are left us. A Nation mourns and deep.

These were all received us guests of the

Philology pursued for lis own sake is
rank humbug and nothing else but when L
mastery OF tongues is used, as Professor
Holloway has used it, for the dissemination
of new ideas and truly valuable discoveries

recognize in it enc of the nobest instru-
ments Of Civilization and arc greatful for the
assistance i; imparts.
Whether the long and laborous scientific
researches and experiments which Holo-
way had to undergo before he succeeded in
perfecling his universal remedies, left him
time for the personal acquisition Of all the
languages now spoken upon earth, we do
not know, and were we speaking of an or
dnary man, should think, they could not

character rs his, the common standard of
intellectual measurement is at fault; and
it seems not improbable that the mind
which obtqincd dominion over all forms Of
human malady. could easily obtain the key
to every tongue.
Whether this be so, or not, certain i: is
that Holloway has established printed jonr-
nails in al! the known languages of the
world-jouInals specially devoted to tho
futhcrcnce of medical truth and a procla-
nation Of the saving principles embodied in
the use Of hIs Universal Remedies. The
phiIologist could desire no richer treat than

FAMILY PRIDE,

The following. which We find in the Col
urabia CaroLinian, credited po some Amer-
can writer is well worthy of n passing
thought. 1t is n valued and just feature Of
our republican system, to acknowledge
worth and talent, no matter from whence il
springs, and this feature, carried out, natu-
rally discourages sentiments Of family pride
and ancestral reverence. In our zeal, how
ever, to carry out the former principle, the
latter should not be tramplcd upon or Who'll.
ly ignored. Much rs the sentiment is de-
rlded, the man who can look back upon n
long line Of ancestry, who have lived wor-
thy lives of honest independence, has just
reason to be proud OF the same. Here is
the extract alluded TO:
1T is wise occasionally to re :ur TO the
sentiments and the character OF those from
whom we are descended. Men who are
regardless Of their ancestry, and of their
postcrity, are very apt to be regardless of
themselves. The man " ho does not feel
himself a link in the great chain TO trans
NIT life and being, intellectual and moral
existence, from his ancestry to ...s posteriy,
does not Justly appreciate the relations
which belong to him. The contemplation
of oar ancestors and of our descendants
ought ever TO be within the grasp of our
thoughts and affections. The past belongs
to us by afectionate retrospect, while the
future belongs to us no less bv affectionate
anticipation of those who are to come after
us, And then only do we ourselves justice
when we arc true to the blood we inherit,
and true to those TO whom we have been
the means of transmitting that blood"

kAXsAs.-A CORRESPONDENT of the St
Louis Republican, wiring from Lesompton
kasas, says: k
1t is supposed that between 5000 and
10000 votes have been registered in the
Territory. This will probably give the
pro-slavcry men majority of say 1000
votes, possibly more though they will owe
this 10 the neglect Of the Black Rcbubli-
cans, who have in many instances refused to
register, or give fictitious names. We pre-
sumo that they intend to vote down the
State constitution when it is Submitted to
the people, and therefore feel irditfer-
cnt to 10 the poltica! complexion of the
Constitutional Convention TO be holden in

1t is clear that the correct policy of the
State is not to engage too extensively in
internal improvements but tho matter of
this Road, We shall certainly not oppose,
TO, il does seem TO us, that Lancaster, next
TO Georgetown at least, would in turn, de-
serve Il like consideration. Our plea, al
though not The same, yet would it not be
the less tangible. We viii await, however,
the progress OF events below and in the
mean TING, if our people desire Il Road. it
would be well for them to mediate upon
what can DC done independent Of the State,
as the latter may not agree with us in regard
to her duty in the premises. Our friend
in North Carolina, argues that, although
we are not SO able to build Road as they
are, yet may we build one ns well as
they, our cost not being so great. Very
cogent reasoning, AMI we subscribe to it.
