ENGLISH HERGIDIg DEyICES--The erests present

every attitude of repose, Defiance meeknesS stu

melancholy pelican. Frequently the supporters are
two sturdy angels, with fat solid wings and short,
thick, earthly legs. Sometimes it is a pair of in
decent giants with clubs, or a couple of snarling
tigers ora pair of large cats with heads like bank
directors and headquarters shaved like poodles'
Sometimes q brace of respectable master-sWeeps

are quite in harmony with the crests and support
ers. Moors heads, ships like sauce tureens malets,
bellows horse-shoes salmon standing up like raw re-
cruts helpless dancing bears, dtgnided owls, waltz
ing lions marching blackbirds, potbellied doves,
acrobatC swine, and mass of inanimae objects, the
pictorial symbolic meaning of which it is only given
to observation-disclosures to understand. In the crests,
besides animals there are the dOd trick, the army in
Bombastes Furioso, the constant arm sticking up like
pigeon leg out of pie heads the point OF dag

Looking at the highly refined aristoeraGy of the
nineteenth century, with their arttreasures their
pictures their music their statues, their love Of har

marvellous to find them struggling to trace them
selves back to a race of men who could have been
nothing but rude, untaught, brutal savages. Still
more marvellous is it to find them cnging to set Of
uncouth symbols, that were invented to convey ideas
! to a generation Of chinespGtting, head-cracking
rutians, who could neither read nor write.

Correspondence Of the N. Y. Tribune.
Senator Wade OF Ohio.
WAsHINaToN, March IA,

WASHINGTON, March IA, 1858.
There is one Republican member of the
Senate who has always commanded the
warmest regard Of his political friends, and
extorted the fullest respect of his opponents
by simply conforming his practice to his
principles, and defending them with a
downright and manly carnestness, which
gave those who were inclined to glorify
their own prowess Of assailing others who
do not recognize their code Of chivalry to
understand that if ever critical point came,
there would be blows to give as we'll as
blows to take. refer to Judge Wade Of
Ohio, who is here and elsewhere recogniz-
ed as among the bravest and best cham
pions of the great cause which now engag.
es the interest of the whole country, and
especially Of the Free States, whose rights
are again assailed by the aggression of ul-
tras who seek to rule this Union by the
power Of an Oligarchy, grown iusolent
from continued success. He has always
spoken as he felt, asking no quarter and
giving none, and by this means has estab-
lshed character for directness and dccis,
ion which the Sham Democracy have found
convenient to avoid, or at least not to dis
turb by any unnecessary contention.
His speech, yesterday, was full OF mar
row and gnt, and enunciated with cour-
age which did ores heart good to hear
No mealymouthed phrases and excessive
conventionalisms, but strong and stirring
old English, that had the ring Of tho true
metal. He literally carried the war into
africa. telling the South how they were
the aggrcssors, and proving it by the an
nexation of foreign territory in Texas by
an odious fugitive slave law, by the repeal
Of the Missouri Compromise; and lastly by
the undisguised purpose Of forcing slave
Constitution on Kansas, which was scorned
and repudiated by the great mass Of the
people. In the course Of his remarks ho
ran an amusing parallel between past and
present doughfaces, to this effect: "When
old Moses" said he, "enticed whole na-
ton Of slaves to run away, no doubt he
was denounced by Pharaoh and the chival-
ry Of Egypt as furious Abolitionist, but
there were doughfaces then as now. There
were some who preferred Slavery in Egypt
to freedom in Canaan, and those, he sup.
posed, would be called National mem
not 'Northern men with Southern prin
ples,' but Israelites with Egyptian princi
ples.'"

riase..MaiI Robbery>sA term in States
tr.l Prison. ~ ,fsh
I A young man named Charles A Albaugh
Of Mt. Gilead, Ohio, was recently convic-
ted of mail robbery in Cleveland, and
sentenced to a term in State Prison.
The Columbus Garstts says of bis case:
Charles Albaugh, is only twenty years
of age, and the events Of the past few
months will fill an important chapter in
his hfe's history. On Christmas day he
eloped with. his landlords daughter, a
Miss German, in her sixteenth year, went
to Alexandra, Pennsylvania, and was
married. An effort war made to keep
the affair secret, hn. j: w.s discovered by
the girls parents, who were highly incens-
ed at their daughters imprudence.
On the 2sth of January, Mr.. Prentiss,
the U. 8. Mail Agent, arrested Albaugh
upon charge of robbing the mail. He
was taken to Cleveland, tried, convicted
and sentenced before the United States
Court, aud upon reaehipg B~rdingIon. on
his way to the Ienitentiary, the young
wife came aboard the cars to bid farewell
to her convict husband. The meeting was
a painfully affecting one. She begged
him to keep up his spirits, to make firm
resolve to do his whole duty hile in pris.
on. She vowed to stick to him though
all the rest of the world should forsake
him; for, said she, "Charley," we arc
both young, we have years Of happiness
in store for US, and when your timo has
expired, We can 60 to some other land
where the offense will not be known,
where we can live happily together and
earn an honest livelihood.
The poor girl nerved herself up to the
task, and as she wiped tears away from
the cheeks of her young husband, she new
er whimpered.
The car was full Of passengers who
witnessed the scene with fearful emotion.
The conductor who, at the request of the
officers, had kindly delayed few moments
to give the young couple an opportunity
Of meeting each other, at las: notified
them that he could delay no longer, and
the wistle gave notice that the cars were
about starting. Keep up your courage
like man, Charley said the fair he
roine, and as she kissed his cheek. she
turned to leave him, but overpowered by
her feelings that she had thus far kept
under control, she fell fainting in the arms
of the bystandors, who carried her gently
in,o tho station house, and the cars roll
ed over the rails with increased speed, to
make up for detention.
Rather sad honeymoon.

GEN. ScoTT IN THE GALLERY.-The
Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Courier tells a very good story of "Old
Chip" as follows:
The House lately adopted resolution
cutting off from the privilege of the floor
all persons except Justices of the Supreme
Court, Governors Of the States, officers Of
the House, DC. Yesterday, while the
House was in session, a tall, stout, gray
haired old man, dressed in very plain
clothes approached the principal entrance
Of the Hall, and evidently no, aware of the
new arrangement, attempted to enter. He
was stopped by the door-keeper, who in
quircd if he was Chief Justice or Gov
ernor. "Nor, sir" was the answer, "but
by resolution Of Congress all officers of
the army who have received the thanks of
Congress arc entitled to the privilege of the
foor.D "Are you an officer of the armyY"
asked the door-keeper, looking with some
doubt at the stalwart old man. 81 am sir
my name is Scott-Winfield Scott, of
the United States Army" The manner of
tho door-keeper underwent an instantaneous
change, as he'very politely informed the
General Of the repeal of the resolution
which gave him right to the Aoor 'But,'
said he, pass in General, will assume the
responsibility myself No, SIR was the
answer, Il do not wish to violate any rule,
sir; I will go to the gallery and the brave
old man, whose name is synonymous with
the military glory Of the United States,
climbed tho long range Of stairs, and took
his seat alone and unnoticed.

Reading Out.

The New York Tribune calls attention
to the fact that most of the leading con.
spirators who are engaged in converting
the Government into despotism, are per-
verts from the old Federal party or the
modern whig pady. Buchanan is an old
Fedcralist who was SO firm in the faith as
to search his venous system in vain for a
single drop Of democratic blood. Taney
is another Federalist who concluded that
the fodder was. better in the democratic
rack, and so came over under Gen. Jack
son. Robert Toombs, one of the demo.
cratic leaders Of the Senate, and Alex.
Stephens, emphatically the democratic
leader of the House, and Henry Clay
Wings. Stephen A. Douglas, on the 9TH
er hand, is an original Jackson man, and
is read out Of the democratic party as not
sufficiently orthodox by these old renega-
des.
