THE LEAD TRADE,

This trads is assuming something of its
pristine Importance in GaIeua. There will
be more mineral raised in our mines this
year than any year since is46. The old
fashioned teams of five and six yokes OF
oxen loaded with lead, stringing along our
streets, is sight for the old settlers. 1t
is not unusual to see three thousand pig,
of lead unloaded at the levee in single
day. The value of the lead which we
shall ship from our city this year will
reach, it is believed, million and halt
dollars. The region of the Galena Lead
Mines is destined to become the richest
section of the entire country. Galens

SOMETHING CoMING.-The powers OIL
Europe seem to have taken new inspira.
ton from the motto, sin time of peace
prepare for war;" and are at the work Of
preparation with all their might. The
correspondent of the N. Y. Commercial
Advertiser writes:-
sit is strange feature in the political
history of Europe, at the present moment
that every State is arming and fortifying
itself against some imaginary enemy, and
that the works are being fastened, accor-
ding to their words, in the provision of e.
vent that may soon arise. Even little
Belgium is going to fortify to the extent Of
forty millions of francs, one of her own
towns-at least majority Of her rulers
favor the project-and they, like the rest,
talk of the overhanging storm. Whence
is this coming? The naval equipments
of Bherbourg, now the principal French
naval station, are said to be something
bordering Oh the marvellous for their mag
nitude and perfection. These works,
which are to be inaugurated by the En-
peror in August, will no doubt strike En-
glish naval ren with surprise, for nothing
in England equals, or even approaches
them. One hundred English men of war
will be present at this naval fete.

THE ABLEsr SENATOR.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Albany Evening Journal, writes as follows
of the leading members of the United
State Senate. -
If close student of character, and gen.
eral reader of political biography, were
asked to designate the five chief men Of
the Senate | think he would promptly
name Seward, Douglas, Crittenden. Hun
ter and Toombs. Of these, Seward and
Hunter are the most philosophic thinkers,
and the most polished rhetoricians. Their
speeches will be permanently Incorporated
among the works of American Statesmen.
Stewards will live the longest, bcsause
they are intrinsicallythe ablest, and discuss
topics OF the most enduring interest to
mankind.
Douglas and Toombs are the keenest de.
baters, and impressing an immediate au-
ditory, they are the most effective speakers.
Of these two, Douglas is the most subtle,
terse, compact and pointed. He has more
intensity but less fertility of mind than
Toombs but the Ililnoisan's mail coat is
ihoi "iouSue budu IuO OCOI ldu ., SD
though he is equally daring and vigorous
in the onslaught, he is more liable to be
pierced by the weapon of bis foe. Indeed
in the hand to hand foray of the forum,
Douglas most probably equals any man of
the times.
Crittenden is in most respects not a
whit behind his compeers. He is not so
philosophical as Seward, nor so classical as
Hunter, nor so dextrous as Douglas, nor so
impassioned as. Toombs; but in calm debate,
loftiness of conception, majesty of mien,
and-when warmed with his subject-in
power of appeal-and glow of imagination,
he, to this day, though silvered ser with
age, sustains the reputation he won In
early manhood as second only to Clay a.
mong the orators of the Southwest. II is
always rich intellectual treat to hear the
Kentucky chief in high Senatorial debate.
