Truth.

At the late Know Nothing convention of
New Jersey, in which they nominated a
separate State ticket, the occasion was EN-.
braced to tell little truth of the black
republicans, which was accordingly done in
the following resolution. 1t applies in more
States than one:
THAT the Republican party, in several
of those States in which they have acquired
the ascendency, have avowed principles and
established laws multiplying the provisions of
the Constitution and the laws of the United
States made in pursuance thereof, and ha We
obstructed the execution of those laws, and
openly proclaim that neither those laws nor
the decision of the Supreme Court shall be
respected in those States, and, so far as such
action could sever the Union which our
fathers thought they had made perfect and
perpetual, have dissolved the same; and
that the people of New Jersey cannot affil-
late with any such revolution party without
becoming false to that love for the Union
of the States which every dictate of patri-
otism requires them to cherish.

improvement of Washington City.

Occasional writes to the Philadelphia
Press:
A number of elegant edifces are now in
course of erection in this city, Indicating
that Washington is rapidly becoming the
great centre of the fashionable, as we'll as
the political world. Among the enterprising
citizens who are investing their money in
this way, notice that Dr. W. F. johnson,
the eminent physician, and brother-in.law
of Mr.. Fowle, the capitalist, of Alexandria,
is putting up, on Eighteenth street, between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth, splendid man.
SIGN. Major Lee, of the army, and Mayor
Berret, are following suit in the same neigh
borhood. The new residence of ex- Marshal
Hoover, at the corner of Fifteenth and l
streets, is being rapidly completed, and when
finished will be one of the most commodious
buildings in this city. Mr.. Corcoran, with
his accustomed liberality, has now in course
of construction magnificent art gallery at
the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and
Seventh street, and north of the War De-
partment, which, it is said, will cost him
some two hundred thousand dollars, and will
be another monument of his public spirit.
1t is intended to be a free gallery, and to be
in charge of trustees, appointed by Mr..
CorcOran himself. cam conceive no nobler
enterprise than this. TO the Federal Capt.
tai artists from all parts of the world natur-
ally come. Distinguished foreigners litter
ateurs, statesmen, painters, sculptors, and
poets, make this grand rallying point, and
nothing will do more to attract them than
such an institution.

these well-meaning but mistaken people,
that fast, well-bred horse can travel at
three-mnnte pace for half an hour with less
labor and distress than four-minute horse
could travel far the same length of time?
A man is more likely to overtask a common,
slow horse than well-bred, fast one
because the blood horse can endure infinitely
more. AS for ourselves, when we 60 out
on the road, whether we 20 alone, or are
accompanied by our "better- half" or our
little boys, we like to have in front of us
team of the fastest of fast horses, as we
have natural aversion to taking anybody's
dust, or play second fiddle to anybody in
anything we undertake.

From Utah.

GREAT SALT LAKE City, Aug. IL, 1859.
Again we have tidings of assassination
On the 10th instant, Sergeant Pike, with
several soldiers as witnesses, obedent to
summons directed to him from the United
States Court, arrived in this city to answer
to an indictment found by the Grand Jury,
for an assault upon Howard Spencer, during
last winter. The occurrence took place
upon a Government reserve or herd ground.
Pike and his party, on their arrival here,
put up at the Salt Lake House, and de-
meaned themselves as gentlemen. Yester-
day about l o'clock whilst standing on the
side walk in front of his hotel, conversing
with several friends, man approached him
and inquired eff he was Pike" and, at the
same time, placed a pistol at his side and
fired, fleeing instantly.
Pike jumped in the air, reeled to the
building, and asked to be carried to his
room. Before the surrounding parties COM
pretended the mischief done, so great was
the surprise, the would-be-murderer had
gained the opposite side of the street before
his bloody design was realized. Full three
hundred people were in sight. The nearest
gave chase. One soldier, the first to ap-
prehend the worst, had his pistol leveled
upon the assassin ere he crossed the street.
but obedient to his commanding officer, who
thought it personal matter with him,
drew off. The criminal was chased across
lots for two or three blocks, then lost, and
is supposed to have mounted horse pre-.
pared previously by himself or friends
Several policemen were on the opposite side
of the street at the time of the occurrence
but were tardy in action and pursuit. The
ball struck the handle of Pixies body knife,
entered his right side, broke rib, passed
through lung, and was taken out on the
opposite side. The aforesaid Spencer is
said to be the person who shot him.
An express was Immediately dispatched
to Gen. johnson, by the officers present in
the city, and it is probable that by l o'clock
today we shall have a military force in this
city. So inactive is the Governor that the
American citizens here sojourning, look only
to Gen. Johnston for protection of their
rights and the promotion of their best in
terests.
A short time since when one Price was shot
in an adjoining camp, a private individual
called upon Gov. Cumming, and offered
him five hundred dollars for his apprehen-
sion, and wished his Excellency to make
what addition he thought proper, and thus
influence his capture but he could rot or
would not acquiesce in the proposal. So
the depredator, like all his predecessors and
successors, went scot free.
Much alarm is created by these recent
high-handed, open and defiant assassina-
tions.

Bonner on Fast Driving,

In this weeks Ledger Mr.. BONNER cor
reefs some of the errors that have been cur
rent about his horses, and gives the result of
his experiences in fast driving. He says:
The daily papers have lately published
several paragraphs-some of them alto.
gether erroneous about pair Of celebrated
horses that we own. In order to set the
matter right, we have concluded to give our
readers brief sketch of our experience with
horses:
About two years ago-after some
eighteen years hard labor, during the
greater part of which time we worked
nearly fifteen hours day-we found our
health declining, and were threatened with
general physical prostration. At the sug-
gestion of our family physician we pur-
chased horse, and drove out nearly every
pleasant afternoon. Within three months
the tone of our system was restored and our
weight increased upwards of twenty pounds.
We became, in brief, new man. About
this time Mayor Rice, of Boston, who hap
pened to be in our Office one day, informed
us that a splendid pair of horses, owned
by Capt. Robbins, of that city, and which
had taken the first premium for matched
horses, at the great National exhibition at
Springfield, were for sale. We bought the
horses. We found them to be all that thew
were represented-sound, kind, spirited,
stylish, and fast-yes, FAST and we would
not have given one snap of our finger for
them if they had not been fast. We say
this, because there is a nonsensical prejudice
against what are too often contemptuously
called fast horses" We subsequently dis
posed of those horses-they having done us
good service for two years-and procured
others still faster, SO that we now own pair
of horses-Lantern and Lady Woodruff
that can travel about as fast as we care to
ride.
We like horses of fast, quick. active
movement, just as we like fast, active,
energetic, go-ahead men. Whether it is
exhibited in man or beast, we like to see
mettle: With the spirit of betting and
gambling on races, we have no sympathy
we detest it, just as we do betting on the
result of State or Presidential election.
But, say some, it is cruel to drive horse
at high rate of speed so it is if you over
do the animal. But did it never occur to

Outside Help Needed.

The black Republicans do not conine
their Intervention notions to the Territories,
but apply them as we'll to the States. Just
now we see they are putting them in prac-
tice in the case of Minnesota. Not only is
the factory at Washington running day and
night, turning out tons upon tons Of elec-
pioneering documents which are posted off
to that State, but all the black Republican
orators are in great demand for the same
benighted region. Grow, Colfax, Carl
Schurz, Senator Doolittle, and half dozen
others are engaged to minister in the State
before election. 1t is presumed they will
divide their time between preaching up

THE TWO TEMPLES.
BY J. H. A. BONE.

Cheerful and loud rang the minister peal,
And sweet was the organs strain,
As baron and knight stepped forth to kneel
On the floor of the sacred fame;
The priestly robes were heavy with gold,
And the blaze of the altar light,
Revealed in many silken fold,
Gems like the stars of night.
Huge and grand was the sacred pile,
Like forest the pillars stood,
Wealth ana power had formed the style,
From the porch to the Holy Rood.
Quaint were the carvings over head,
Bright was the stored pane,
Rich were the blazOnings of the dead,
Who slept meath the sacred fame.
The minister gray was noble pile,
Wealth shone on the altar stone,
And many who knelt in the vaulted aisle,
For warriors brave were known.
The organ pealed forth its harmony,
And the incense was scattered wide,
And He who taught us humility,
Was worshipped with pomp and pride.
Solemn and low was the oceans hymn,
And the chant of the forest drear
As the traveller knelt in the evening dim,
To offer his humble prayer;
The vaulted roof that DER him spread,
Was the arching azure sky.
And the lamps that light on the altar shed,
We're the twinkling stars on high.
The scented flowers their incense gave,
The signing breeze was the bell,
The choristers were the woods and wave
And the surf as it rose and fell.
The daisied turf was the jeweled shrine,
Where he knelt from care apart;
The falling dew was the sacred wine,
And the priest was his truthful heart.
Years have passed, and Wondering wall
Stands where the minister stood,
And brambes grow, and reptiles crawl,
Round the base of the Holy Rood;
Fallen are pillar and fretted arch,
And the toad leaves his noisome slime
On the pavements, crushed meath the heavy
march
Of the grim destroyer, Time.
Done is the wealth from the altar stone,
Rotten the vestments gay,
Gimmed forever the lamps that shone
Near the shrines by night and day;
Naught is heard but the shrieking owl,
Or the distant hunters horn;
Laid in the dust are casque and cowl
And their faith is thing of scorn.
But the daisied turf still forms shrine,
And the skies their blue arch spread,
The lamps of night unfaded shine,
And the flowers their incense shed;
The woods and waves raise their hymns again,
AS they raised it in days of yore
Mans temples fall, but natures fame
Forever stands secure.
