THE OLD HALL OF THE HOUSE OF REP,
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES SCENE
THERE.

Notwithstanding the sacred memories which
cluster around the old Hall of Representatives,
the sancity which it has obtained by reason of
the great deeds accomplished within its walls,
there was a scene witnessed there yesterday
morning entirely Unprecedented.
BY ten O'Clock at least one hundred persons
were in the hall, a number of them ladies'.
They were of all ages, and though diligently
searched for. the " Middle-agcd Man" could not
be found. Among the assemblagc we rccog-
nized Judge Blachtord, of the Court of Claims
The interest manifested in the sale, the patience
with which the spectators and the purchasers
followed the auctioneer from desk to desk and
chair to chair, was worthy of imitation This
furniture was all of solid mahogany and the
prices, instead of being uncommonly low. cx-
cceded the expectations of many who thought
to procure great bargains. \ considerable por-
tion of it was damaged, and so great was the
competition. where competition was least ex-
pected that single arm chair with writing
accompaniment, was knocked down at ten dol-
lars amt q,puter, instead OF the five or six
dollars that the purchaser had made up his
mind to give. Those old chairs, many of them
with screws loose, brought an average of three
dollars piece and the carpet was sold at about
eight cents yard.
The opening announcement of the auctionCcr,
MIR. Fisher" terms cash. nothing dcli\ cred
until paid ior"-wc feared would dampen the
spirits of bidders, but as that worthy gentleman
commenced with andirons, congressional and
irons, mind you,) which were knocked down at
a very low figure, confidence seemed to be per
lectly restored and from that time to the end of
the sale there was no tagging, no hesitation in
the bidding. The first OF the desk, of the old
members sold was that occupied for so many
years bv Hon. Joshua r. Giddings. of Ohio.

AGRICULTURE FAVORABLE TO THE
BEST CHARACTER

Every profession has its influence on the
character Of those who pursue it, and excrts a
molding force in their formation. This is as
true OF agriculture as any other. We do not
intend to say that agriculture as pursuit cx-
erts greater influence ON the character than
any other. Others may exert a greater and
more direct influence on the character But
the influence Of agriculture is better. SO far
as its influence goes it is always in favor of in
teligence, virtue, good order, sobriety, gener-
osity, and uprghtness. The weight of its in
fluence is always on the side of right.
lst. The pursuit of Agriculture is natural.
1t is mans natural means Of living and being
natural it is adapted to his physical and moral
condition Of being. 1t is suited to his nature.
1t is beneficial to his health of body, mind, and
heart. AS whole man he grows well in the
pursuit of agriculture. Yes, we should say, il
is more than natural-it is the diyinely or
dained vocation of man. Adam was set apart
to agriculture, by God himself The chosen
people of God, during all their palmy days Of
obedience and prosperity, were chiefly agricult-
urists. And it has been observed in all coun-
tries and in all ages, that the moral character
and worth Of people may be known by their
interest and advancement in agricultural pur-
suits. The Jews, as a people, have sadly fallen
from the high position they once occupied, and
have fallen just about in proportion as they
have given up the pursuit of agriculture. If
mistake not, the last census shows but one jew
in the United States an agrculturist. His
brethren are almost all traders to a man. 1t is
so the world over. They inhabit every city.
They cluster in all the great marts of trade.
They possess untold wealth, The worlds rich
est man to-day is a Jew. And yet as a people
they are a fallen people, and in many countries
are by-word and reproach, and have been
so since they fell from the high position of pow
er and worth they occupied twenty five hundred
years ago. We have no word to speak against
the Jew or his religion. That there are many
high-minded, morally worthy Jews, we most
fully believe. We refer to them to show the
position they occupied in the world when they
were agriculturists, and the moral position they

remains were placed in an open hearse drawn
by six white horses, the bands playing dirge
in the meantime The procession moved at
half-past elcyen-the flags of the public build
ings, shipping, &C., were displayed half-mast
many buildings were draped in mourning
minute guns were fred and the bells tolled a
funeral peal during the entire march. A shower
Of rain had laid the dust and rendered the heat
less oppressive, and the streets were thronged
with people.
The procession arrived at Hollywood Gene
terry at one o'clock and the military formed in
a circle around the grave. a dirge was per-
formed, after which Gov. Wise delivered an adj

compliment to New York patriotism, and made
an eloquent appeal in behalf Of the Union.
Prayers was offered by Dr. Reid of the Presby-
terian church, when the coffin was consigned to
the grave, the cannon fred, and the ceremonies
were closed
The national Guards wore escorted to the din
ing hall, where the afternoon was spent sociably
with the Richmond military. Speeches were
made by NIessrs Cochranc, Wise, Duryea, Lyons
and others.
