Assault UPON A MEMBER OF CONGRESS-
"A brutal and entirely unprovokcd assault
was made on Friday last upon Mr.. lick
man, of Pennsylvania, by Fl. A. Edmund
son, member Of the House Of Repre-
sentativcs from Virginia. Various ac.
counts of the affair have been published,
and the only thing certain is, that the
attacking party is a large, athletic man,
that he was surrounded by his friends, and
that the victim Of conspiracy is much his
inferior in size, and in weak health
The courage of Mr.. Edmundson, therefore,
if any doubt was felt upon that point, af:
ter his completely in the assault upon an
unarlned United States Senator, must now
be confessed.

Immediately after entering, the bomb ex-
plodcd, blowing the store to pieces and
wounding five persons, some of them IA

Of revenge against one Of the parties az

Go to the humble peasants cot, 60 at the close
of day,
And otlors from thousand flowers shall round
your pathway stray;
But sweeter than those oders, are the joyous
notes they raise
Who innocently offer up their hymn of gratc-
full praise.
Whose whisp'r prompts their song and pray'r:
Weman! thy gentle voice is there.
G. where the taper dinly burns, 60 to the
humble bed,
And watch when 6tfully is turn'd the restless
fever'd head,
Whose eye is that which gazes Oh the form
that suffers there?
Whose thoughts anticipate each wish, with
never-ceasing care?
Whose voice breathes love in every tone?
Woman the praise is all thine own.
But if the page of hist'ry must speak Of deeds
gone by,
One far more fair than Britions boast fails not
to meet the eye:
Behold Columbia flag, as its stars and stripes
unfold,
Not half the deeds beneath 1t done have ever
yet been told,
Search midst the annals Of it's fame,
There oft is written woman's name.
Iark what voice is that We hear breath'd
by the lapse Of time?
What infant shrieks are those We hear, which
tell the reign of crime?
Mary! it is thy wicked reign, which Britons
blush to name;
When woman's tears, and infants cries, COM
mingled with the fame.
Those annals Englands scutcheons shame,
Deeper than all her foes can name.
But few behold thy sexes form enclose heart
so cold;
And Russia hisrry woman's heart more truth
fully has told:
Elizabeth! thy gentle hand ne'er sign'd the
writ of death
Thou could'st not give, and would not take thy
subjects feeting breath.
We love to dwell upon thy name,
And write the record of thy fame.
Go to the Hill Of Calvary, and woman's form
is there,
Where Roman banners proudly wave and float
upon the air.
Look on the dying Saviour, when all save one
had fled,
Who oft with him had journey d-oft with him
broke bread:
A faithful and female hand,
These, then around him closer stand.
And still we bid thee seek not 'the cloud capt
tower Of fame;''
Ye need no herald there, to sound the praises
of thy name,
Within our heart Of hearts is PLACID affections

T is there that thy dominion is, We fully,
frankly own!
Thy gentle sceptre there we bless,
And feel what fame can ne'er express.

Sardinia has anticipated Garibaldi in the
work Of political renovation in the papal
states, and has already formidable army
on the ground who have taken possession
of the northeastern provinces. There is an
apparent lack Of justification for this pro-
ceed ing ou the part Of the Sardinian gov
ernment, but it makes little difference, how
ever, whether Sardinia can make out
perfect moral justification of her preeipi-
fancy or not, since the ultimate result is in-
eyitable, aud the Roman States, the city of
Rome perhaps excepted, are destined to be-
come at once a portion Of united Italy.
/ Successful revolutions are reported 10 yari-
ous parts Of the papal territory, and the
pope'S troops seem to surrender with quite

The city of Rome is represented to be 10
q state of great CONSERVATION, as might
well be supposed, and the pope is deeply
despondent, but be has forseen the event

despatch of reinforcementS Of French troops
to R)me indicates determination TO de-
fend the pope in lbe possession of bis capi-
tai, and il seems to be understood that SO
much will be conceded to him. In Carl
baldi's scheme the entire overthrow of the
pope's temporal power seems TO be sat
down, for he announces that be will soon
proclaim the annexation of Naples and
Rome to Piedmont from the summit Of the
Quirinal-the summer palace Of the pope
aud the seat of the supreme tribunal-and
that all Italians shall unite there in one
grand national banquet, 10 celebration Of

SPEEcHoF HoN. THOMAS EwING.-What-
ever differences of opinion may exist be-
tween Mr.. Ewing and the Republican par
ty as to its character and obi ects, we have
no fault to find with his conclusion, that
the peace and prosperity Of the whole
county will be most certainly promoted by
voting for Mr.. Lincoln for the Presidency
He does not conceal the fact that Mr.. Bell
would be equally acceptable to him but
he considers the success of the Union can
didate out of the question, aud that the
contest in Ohio is practically between Mr.
Lincoln and Mr. Douglas. The latter has
shown himself 'inconsiderate and reckless,
and the extreme agitation Of the country
for the past six years, is due to his impa-
thence for notoriety' Between such man
and Mr.. Lincoln he cannot hesitate a mo-
ment,' aud he has no vote to throw away,
when such is the contest upon Mr. Bell or
upon any one else. Doubtless there are
many men in Ohio, holding substantially
the same views expressed by Mr. Ewing
in relation to the Republican party who,
like him, will refuse to throw away their
votes upon candidate who has no possi-
BILE chance os an election.

THE Fusion MOVEMENT in New York has pro-
gressed somewhat this week in the direction al
ready indicated. The committee of the union
meeting, or dry goods committee as it is called
from being headed by leading dry goods deal
er who has a sharp eye to southern trade, has
proposed to put seven Breckenridge men on to
the Donglas-BelI electoral ticket, in place Of so
many of the Douglas managers, after some
hesitation, have agreed to permit it. But the
Breckenridge committee, supported by James
T. Brady their Candidate for governor refuse
to acquiesce, aud boldly avow their purpose to
fight such fusion ticket to the last. Practi-
eolly, therefore, it is failure, and the move
ment only results 10 strengthening the Douglas
ticket, without reudering its election at all pos
sibls, and in giving its managers generous sub
scriptions from the rich democratic merchants
of New York for carrying on the canvass.
