Every great nation has distinguished itself
by its noble provision for those who have
been worn out or disabled in its service.
Greenwich Hospital, in England, and the
Invalides, in France, are establishments to
which the defenders of their country look
with pride as an honorable recognition Of
their services, But it was left to this country
to found an institution for those who have
worn themselves out in their country's serv-
ice more in accordance with the extraordi-
nary development of mind which results
from constantly exercising the right of self
government. When our politicians, our
Secretaries of Departments, our Foreign
Ministers and our Presidents have outlived
their days of active service, instead of hi
bernating in helpless inactivity in hospitals,
they take to the columns of the New York
Ledger, and there renew their youth, with
all its innocence, harmlessness and verdure.

Reputation of the idea of Secession in
ViPSinia,

A correspondent of the New York World
writes from Norfolk, Va, as follows
From the location of Norfolk and its init
mate commercial relations with the cities,
towns and country regions of Eastern Vir-
ginia, it is presumed that its interest in
slavery is great, and that its zeal for its pro-
lection and preservation is proportionably
intense. No city in Eastern Virginia is more
interested in the institution than Norfolk.
Almost all, if not all, the produce which
forms the basis of its commerce, is the pro-
duct of slave labor. 1t forms the outlet for
a large portion of the trade of North Caro-
lima, which is made up chiefly of cotton,
resin, tar and turpentine--all the products Of
slave labor. In view of this state of things,
it is to be presumed that the people of Nor
folk would not be wanting in sympathy and
zeal with any policy, however extreme, which
offered the best guarantee for the protection
of an institution which imparts to the COM
merce of that city its chief vitality. They
spurn the idea of secession as a remedy for
the evils unjustly associated, as they believe,
with the election of Mr.. Lincoln. They are
for adhering strictly to every constitutional
obligation enjoined upon them, lest, by dis
regarding these obligations, they may them
selves become victims of their own bad ex-
amples. There is no idea Of resort to seces-
sion in any contingency now in prospect.
! Nothing short of positive aggression will
ever force the people of this section to seek
! redress in such a resort; and | take it, the
experiment will never be made, as the provo.
cation is never likely to be given.

| MONUMENT no GENERAL OaLErHoRpE IN

A MONUMENT TO GENERAL OGLETHoRPE IN
GEoReIA.-The citizens of Savannah, Ca,
are agitating the subject OF statue to Gen.
James Oglethorpe, to be erected in one of
the public squares Of that city. A model in
plaster has been made already, and an effort
to obtain aid from the Legislature will be
made the coming winter. The statue is to
be colossal and together with the pedestal
is to be of the best quality of Carrara marble
The entire structure will be upward of
twenty feet in hight. The model represents
the General standing erect, in the military
costume of 1850, wig, long sword, and large
cavalry boots being the distinguishing
features. His left hand rests gracefully on
the hilt of his sword while with his right
hand he gently leans upon a trophy Of arms,
holding the charter of Georgia, half unrolled.
The helmet and his family coat-of-arms
(three boars' heads, with the motto: "Nesot
cedere," adorn the front of the trophy, while
cannon, carbines, pistols, swords, cannoR-
balls, &C., combine with the above to make
It complete.

The HOndnrenOs Pronounced n Generous
and Humane PeOple-RepentanceO of Col.
Rudler, the Filibuster.
A Truxillo correspondent of the New York
Times, witing on the 9Th inst, says;
Many Americans believe that the Hondu-
renos are barbarous, cowardly and cruel
people, and their belief has probably been
confirmed by the execution of Walker. But
] have lived among them q long time, and
can assert the opposite to be the case. They
are enthusiasts for liberty, and rose sponta-
neously and eagerly, when called upon to
repel the invader from their soil. l have
seen the men who were greatly injured by
Walkers invasion on the 9Th of August, as
sisting with money and advice the helpless
followers of the filibuster chief and in pri-
vate life there are no people in the world
more cordial or kinder to strangers than
these same Hondurenos.
Colonel Rudler has transmitted the follow
ing letter to the Commandant of Truxillo,
Don Norbeto Martinez, through the English
Consul:
"My Dear Sir; l can not take my de-
parture without first acknowledging to you
my heartfelt thanks for the friendship
which you evinced for me during my con-
fnement and trial. Your conduct in this in
stance is worthy of the highest praise both
as a Christian and a gentleman. AS the
former, you have fully carried out the pre-
cepts of our holy church, to return good for
evil As the other, you have shown that
generous and high-toned character which
few men would have the fortitude to carry
out in the trying ordeal which have just
passed.
"To your kind lady am also much in
debted for the many comforts received at her
hands, and now, through you, tender her my
grateful thanks.
81 also desire to make you the instrument
in conveying my thanks to those gentlemen
who have so generously befriended me. In
doing this you will add to the many obliga-
tions which have already been indebted to
you. In conclusion, permit me to assure you
that my conduct shall be such as TO prove to
you, and all those who have befriended me
that l was not unworthy of it. May Gods
blessing be with you and yours, is my earn.
est prayer. Your more than friend,
"a. H. RUDLER."
All the Americans in this quarter sin,
| cerely hope that the filibustering enterprises
are at an end; and, indeed, it is not likely
that any attempt upon the independence o
Honduras will again be attempted by lawlesI
bands of desperadoes.

OemncriIua.

George Saunders has written a letter to
the Charleston Mercury, stating that the
proposition which he made to Mr.. Yancey
after the disruption of the Charleston Con-
Vention, to take the nomination for Vice
President on the Douglas ticket, with plat
form to be made satisfactory to both factions,
was joke. At this time there can be no
diiheulty in erediting this. 1t is now very
well understood that the whole performance
at Charleston and Baltimore was Joke. The
best joke of all was Douglass popular sover-
eighty. Buchanan is a fellow of infinite Jest.
His Lecompton joke was wont to set the
table in o roar. Who can think of Oxford
and Delaware Crossings without splitting his
buttons7 Then there is Douglas, the little
joker Wisewith his laughable exravaganzas,
aud Joe Lane, veritable Old joe and the dis
union joke, with blood-and-thunder accom-
paniment. What a jolly party Democritus
was the father Of our Democracy, and Gri-
msidi should be enshrined among the Demo-
cratic fathers.

ance and Manner.
The writer of "Pen-lnd-Ink Sketches in
the Household Journal, tells this anecdote;
There was a restaurant at the corner of
Panton-street and Leicester-square, that at
one time | used regularly to dine at, and
usually occupied one particular box or COM
partment. After time found that another
person seemed attached to that box, possibly,
| thought, because it was close to window
which commanded a good view of the square.
He was evidently foreigner, swarthy of
countenance, thin and sallow- faced, with
keen, dark eyes, an aquiline nose, firm
mouth, and shortcut black hair. He was
very abstemious, reserved, and apparently
poor--for his clothes were seedy, and his
linen none of the finest.
Meeting day after day as we did, and oc-
cupying seats opposite each other, we soon
got partially acquainted. l took him for a
teacher Of languages of whom many lived
in that locality. l remarked that he seemed
always melancholy and absorbed, but he
never, beyond casual observation on Euro
pean politics, referred to them. After time
missed him, and did not see him again
until one evening, when, as | was reporting
a public meeting of reformers in st. john
street Road, I remarked my old dining-room
companion ascend the platform, when he was
greeted with the most enthusiastic cheers.
"What's his name? inquired Of a brother
Of the broad-sheet.
"Mazzini," was the reply.
So, then, had been the daily companion
| of one of the most celebrated revolutionists
of the day, without being in the least aware
oft.

The WEALTH AND Prosperity OF CUBA
Cuba is advancing in population and all
other sources of wealth. 1t is calculated
that the present population of the Island is
100000, of which near $4,000 are white
inhabitants, 10000 free colored, 100000
slaves, and 80, 900 Asiatics and Indians. The
sugar estates are immensely productive.
Twenty-three of the principal plantations,
comprising about l0O, 900 acres Of land and
1915 slaves, besides buildings, machinery,
&C., are valued at nearly $l5,0O0,0O0. The
Cuban Messenger says:
"The total amount (last years crop) of
sugar from these twenty-three estates was
235,OOO boxes, which, calculated at the
prices of last year, can be estimated at
$40 each box, would make the value
of their aggregate crops $4, 100000, or over
thirty per cent. upon the estimated value of
property. The expenses of manufacturing,
keeping the hands, fuel, &C., must be de-
Quoted from that sum to see the real profits,
which, according to many planters, rarely
net ten per cent"

Four or five years ago, Alexandra Dumas, the

marry the man she loves, dies asomewhat lingering
death of pulmonary disease. Her name was Mar

dramas that, under the name Of translations, and
with the title Camille the heroine sobered down
into ''coauette" and the dramatic interest of the
piece thereby destroyed, in conformity with the
taste Of the American refined society-that have
made their appearance in the United States and had
their day upon the American stage. The present
volume is a translation of what appears to be an

malaria Of tropical Africa only excepted. Rumors
of the existence Of sheets of water Of considerable
extent in Central Africa, hitherto unknown, has
been the Of turning the attention of travellers
in that direction, and large production of books
has been the consequence. The author of this
volume penetrated from Zanzibar, on the Eastern
coast Of Africa in latitude &C. south, distance of g.
of longitude to the Lake Tanyanyika, an inland sea
supposed to be some 800 miles long, and from ten to
thirty broad and was able to explore portion of its
shores. The story is one of hardships and priva-
tions, occasioned by the rigors of the climate and
the barbarous character of the people inhabitng the
regions they we're forced to traverse, in order TO
reach their destination. Its well and vvidlv told
