exercise of their powers. Tho scenes Of Creation
fresh from the hands of their Maker inspired every
object with an intensity Of interest of which we at
present can but feebly imagine. Hence we find the
Hebrew Bard travcrsing the entire universe and
plucking his rich gems of thought from every con-
ceivabic object. From -ahe majestic planets, the
ovsrarching sky, down 10 the meek flowers, nothing
escapes his loving touch and he invests them with
a charm : sentiment and life, unfelt, unseen

Correspondence of the Lichfield Enauirer. ,
 My DEAR MEssRs EDITORS Having read in your columns few weeks since complimentary notice of Mr. George Bacon's Lectures on China, Japan and Siam, trust you will feel gratifed to learn that your neighbors in New Milford have had the pleas of listening to these Lectures and ost sincere y commend your taste by desiring to express, pub licly, their high appreciation of Mir. Baccn's per- formance.
 1shal not speak of the Lectures in detail as you have already done that but will simply say and by it mean to say great deal that for three success sive evenings, when they were given in New Milford they kept more than one hundred ladies perfectly quiet for the space of one hour each evening am quite certain that this compliment was paid to the Lecture rather than the Bachelor, as but few of these ladies were privileged to know Mir. Bacon in the latter capacity.
 All who listened to him as Lecturer must be con- vinced by most pleasant evidence that he tells his experience quite too well to ever being danger of be- coming old bachelor. Since he takes the hearts of many listeners by storm it is but reasonable to infer the battery would be altogether irresistible turned against one-especally if that weakeaed by the customary siege Let me just hnt to the ladies' that he tells story in private almost better than r public, and they will do we'll, if they so happy as to have the chance,) to bid him " sraM into Ms partors.'
 He is truly young man of fine parts-that is o New Havcn--and of pleasing talents | In short, I can recommend him most heartily tt societies, and individuals, Lecturer, and Gentle man but am sure, that nowhere can he find { more appreciative (publie) audience than in New Mil ford. am, Messrs. Editors, l with great respect ability, 1 A MAIDEN LADY.

 The feeling with which Mir. Douglas is re- garded by the Southern ultras may be judged of, by the following from the Jackson Missis- sippian. What terrible paper that must be
 "Covered with the odium of detestable her. eses-- stained with the dishonor of treache- ry without parallel in the political history of the country-fresh from the warm embraces of Seward, and Greeley. and Giddings-this man has dared to present himself in the South, to look her honest sons and daughters in the face, and ask their hospitality. We would not arouse the violent passions of men. We would stay the averaging rod of justice rather than the chivalry of the South should be tar nished by single rash or unseemly act but yet, if smarting under the keen sense of cruel wrong-if goaded by the conviction of outra- geous injustice, she were to welcome her be- trayer with bloody hands to hospitable grave"-to the gibbet or the faggot-there would be strong array of irresistible facts in the case to extenuate the act"
 This must be pleasant reading to the mass of the Democratic party at the North who are disposed to make an idol of the Illinois Senator about these days. It shows what treatment Northern man may expect, who does not render devout and unswerving hon. age to the rnling institution of the country.
