in behalf of Mr.. Newcomb. The author of the
article in the Gazette of the 11th, stating that
Newcomb was a notorious drunkard and mur-

in his neighborhood who love truth rather than
falsehoOd, will readily testify he being good,

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE "OLD LOG CABIN"
The Cinainnati Gazette of the 9th states that
there is reason to believe that the residence of
Gen. Harrison was set on fire by one of the
Irish servant girls in the family. Almst every.
thing was lost. A little clothing and furniture
and few paintings were saved, but the many
relics of the old hero, such az banners, military
decorations, &C., were destroyed. And the
public has sustained great loss in the desruc.
tion of mass of valuable correspondence and
papers reaching from Gen. Harrison's first ell.

career. These papers were stored in one o

The Watering Places.

Schooley's Mountain, New Jersey, is full
Sharon, New York, filling up. Saratoga. dit
to about 5000 guests are reported there.
A New York correspondent writes as follows
of the perSOnnelIe and toilettes at
SARATOGA.
Every morning the rural promenades and
parierreS are ornamentally enllvened by beau
tifu morning dresses, and we are not little
interested in the competition for preference be-
tween the mOSquetGire fiat of straw and the
Clarence hat of straw, with the edge of its
brim ernamcnted with with dangling straw
drops. The competition is great,-and as the
contest now stands, the former has the prefer
ence for comfort, and the latter for unique pe-
culiarity. At dinner, many of the ladies' appear
in full ball toilette. This taste is, at least,
questionable; but we have nothing to say
against the dresses seen in the parlors, on the
piazzas in the evening, and in the ballroom /;
and it is a false piece of SANDER to state that
the ladies at Saratoga over-dress. There is no
ostentatous display here in dress. Both the
morning negIigeS and the full tOiIetteS arc
fresh, chaste, pretty, but not expensive. The
only expense of note to be seen is the diamond
and other imperishabe parure; and this is not
very costly expenditure, when you take into
consideration that diamond worth hundred
dollars costs to wear only seven dollars year
for diamonds will always bring their real value
in money. AS 10 the custom of the gentlemen
here, it is really of that English jackety ant
rouge-like genre which is beneath crlticlsm.-
The ladies ought to strike against men enter
ing the ballroom and dancing in regular groom
toggery. This is the strongest mark of Eng
Ish snobblshness that we have seen in Sara
| toga.

SELECT ARTICLES.
Wit and Humor.

Wit was originally general name for all the
intellectual powers, meaning the faculty which
kens, pcrceives, knows, understands; it was
gradually narrowed in its Specification to ex-
press merely the resemblance between ideas !;
and lastly, TO note the resemblance when it oc-
casioned ludicrous surprise. 1t marries ideas
lying wide apart, by a sudden jerk of the un-
derstandng. Iiumor originally meant mois-
ture, Specification it aphorically retains,
for il is the very juice of the mind, oozing from
the brain, and enriching and fertilizing wher.
ever it falls. Wit exists by antipathy humor
by sympathy. Wit laughs at things; humor
laughs Uuh them. Wit lashes external ap-
pearances, or cunningly exaggerates single
tolbles into character; humor glides into the
heart of its object, looks lovingly on the infrmi-
ties it detects, and represents the whole man.
Wit is abrupt, darting, scornful, and t0sses its
analogies ia your face; humor is slow and shy,
insnuating its fun into your heart. Wit is
negative, analytical, destructive; humor is cre-
ative. The couplets of Pope are witty, but
Saucho Panza is a humorous creation. Wit,
when earnest, has the earnestness of passion,
seeking to destroy humor has the earnestness
of affection, and would lift up what is seeming
Iy low, into our charity and love. Wit, bright,
rapid and blasting as lightning, flashes, strikes
and Vanishes in an instant; humor, warm and
all.embracing as the sunshine, bathes its objects
in genial and abiding light Wit implies ha-
tired or contempt of folly and crime, produces
its effects by brisk shocks of surprise, uses the
whip of scorpions and the branding-iron-stabs,
stngs, pinches, tortures, goads, teases, corrodes
undermines; humor implies a sure conception
of the beautiful, the majestic, and the true, by
whose light it surveys and shapes their oppo'
sites. Ii is humane influence, softening with
mirth the ragged inequalities of existence
promoting tolerant views of life-brdging ovel
the spaces which separate the lofty from the
lowly, the great from the humble. Old DR.
Fuller's remark, that negro is L" the image o
God cut in ebony" is humorous; Horace Smiths
inversion of it, that the taskmaster is " the i'm
age of the devil cut in IVORY" is witty. Wi
can coexist with fierce and malignant passions
but humor demands good feeling and fellow
feeIing-feeIing not merely for what is above US
but for what is around and beneath us.-EdWi,

Improvement of Time.

The celebrated Earl of Chatham performed
an amount of business, even minute, which
filled common improvers Of time with utter as
tonishment. He knew not merely the great
outlines of public business, the policy and in
trigues of forsign courts, but his eye was on
exerv uart of the British dominions; and
scarcely nan could move without his know
ledge of the man and his object. friend one
dsv called on him when Premier of England
and found him down on his hands and knees,
ulaying marbles with his little boy, and COM
planning bitterly that the rogue would not play
fair: cayly adding, that he must have been
corrupted by the example of the French !" The
friend wished to mention a suspicious-looking
stranger, who for some time had taken up lodg-
ings ia London. Was he q spy, or merely O
priyate gentleman! Pitt went to his drawer,
and took out some scores Of small portraits
and, holding up one which he had selected
asked. ais that the man" "Yes, the very
person." Oh, have had my eye upon hin
from the time he stepped on shore - All thil
was accomplished by q rigid observance o
time; never suffering a moment to pass with
out pressing il into service. No one will tr!
to improve his tima unless he first be impressed
with the necessity. Remember that at th
very best calculation we can have but shor
time in which to learn all and do all that W

should foolishly continue to differ, no possible

Despotism and Oppression has been frustrated ;
the President is down, we think, never to rise
again to the heart of the masses he has sought
to betray--to the position which he held when
he assumed the Presidential Chair, even
though he may try to drown Kansas in Mex
leo and Cuba. He is weighed in the balances
and found wanting, and it will not take one

SEARCHING FOR THE BURIED TREASURES OF
TIRE SEA.-An interesting report has been made
to the Boston Submarine Company in relation
10 the expedition sent to the Caribbean sea,
under the command of Captain Couthouy, to
search for the sunken treasures of the Spanish
frgate San Pedro
The several divers connected with Captain
COuthony's force spent in the aggregate about
l-2 hours under water daily during the time
they had been at work upon the wreck Sill
yer dollars We're found in the depth of sixty
feet in the water, covered with mud, but they
were taken out, and many other valuable arti-
clos and the divers came to the conclusion
that when the explosion of the vessel took
place, these articles were driven from the for
ward part of the ship, where the bulk of The
treasure undoubtedly remained
They obtained al entrance to the hold OF
the forward port of the ship on the 18th of
December last About 500 in specie and
another brass six FOUNDER were taken out of
tl5S place in short time, also watches and
many curious relics The money found here
was cemented together in $l5, $40 and 500
each. and very plainly showed that they must
be very near the vast amount of money con.
tanned in the ship. According to the official
documents, when the San Pedro went down
she contained one million of Spanish dollars,
and million and a half in gold, large por-
tion OF which should be there STILL
