Imp,on. Disgrac%ful to Civilization.

Parson Brownow Of the Knoxville Wing, minister
of the Gospel, and High Priest of Known othngism,
thus piousy dscoues with reference to the organiza
ton of the House:
We of course will not advise Southern Opposition
members what to d. believing them competent to pre-
serve their own setrespect and to discharge sworn
duty their country and their constituents But were
we member OF the Southern Opposition in Congress,
before we would occupy the paltry and contemplate
attitude of creeping after party that had spurned
by its deliberate acts would the Capitol of the
nation and all the territory North and South of it, sunk
into eternal perditon Nay, would see all the poll
tca organizations in America far in hell pigeon
could fly in thousand years, forge hammer could
fall in twice that length of time Sooner than thus de-
grade ourselves under pretence of battling for the
homes and rights of children would them all
sarve to DEATH and then seat ourselves upon their collins
NTH Southern gentlemen and play p,ash-pin for

The Washington States, noticing the remarks made
by the old Rip of the Whig,-BRowNLow,-s
Can any of our Tennessee friends inform US what
are the relations between MIR. Maynard, Elder Nelson
and the socaed degradation of the sacred designation
Parson Brownlow? DID he not render a vehement and
enthusiastic support to each of those members during
their recent for the seats which they occupy?
Desperate must be that cause which can employ in
its service proane advocate. 1t will strike dis
tant readers sngulary strange that upright
munty that of Knoxville should tolerate the pastora
presence of person who is capable Of writing para
graph like the foregoing, which we found copied con

Such pulpit bufoon is deserving of universal disre

possible that either Mr.. Maynard Elder Nelson car

WASHINGTON IRvING's CELIBACY.--The Boston
Transcript in discussing the celibacy of Washington
Irving says:
Instead of being defect" the celibacy of Irving
was his crown of glory Those who have studied his
writings have been struck with the remarkable transition
from humor to pathos from the hroadest fun to the
most meditative sentiment, which occurs between the
facetous History of New York and the Sketch Book.
Many perhaps that this is accounted for by his
loss of fortune But the feeling is too soulful for such
an interpretation 1t had its origin in of those dis
appointments of the heart which color all the subsequent
life of true We trust that there is no want
of delcacy in abiding to the fact that the early object
OF lrvngs love died during their betrothal. We have
heard the last interview described by member of her
family and to the sacred thus engendered is to
be ascrbed much that is touching and true in the sen
ment OF lrvngs writings to his featy to this affection,
in no small degree, is owing the continued sensbily
which kept his heart fresh to the last and above ALL
that respect for and sympathy WITH the innate and holy
sentiments of humanity which he uniformly cherished
and manifested in letters and in life.
Nor is this all. Time may have healed the wound
and reconcied the bere to another relation but there
ntervened period of disaster which drove his eldest
brother to bankruptcy for his sake and that Of his
family OF daughters Washington Irving continued sin
gle, took them all home and became father to the chill
dren. Beautiful was their devotion happy their con-
genial households and Sunnyside is now bequeahed to
them.
No one faEiar with Mr. Irving associated the IDEA
OF cefbacy with him he always in domestic at
mOSphere his nieces were like daughters his for
neighbors his favorite companion children the delight
of his heart. With such free and fond affections, be
could under no circumstances lead the life of single
man, as the phrase is usually understood. He do
mestcated in families abroad he was the endeared CEN
tire OF one at home and of the most beautiful as
poets OF his life, well ore of the most honorable,
that selected as exceptional after the ppant habit oil
those who ignorantly condemn what they have neither
the justice to examine nor the refinement of soul TO con-
lecture may be evidence OF the highest love and the
most heroic self-denial

THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL.
W1Lr1NGroN. \. C.. THURSDAY. JAN. u, leo.
The Speakershfp.


We see that some newspapers and newspaper cores
pondents speak quite confidently Of the prospects of an
organization of the U. S. House of Representatives
within the present week. The correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says 1t is very clear that the OPP
ponents of the Republicans will unite and organize the
House this week. A conference, after the plan of Mr.
Winslow, of N. c., between committees of the three
parties composing the majority opposed to Mr. Sherman
will effect the proposed union Should it be found that
plurality vote can be obtained for Democratic can
didate, that rule may be adopted"
The Washington States and Union of Saturday after
noon also speaks of the prospect OF conservative or
antRepublcan organization being stronger than at
any former time during the session. This confidence
seems to have been inspired by the large vote 89 given
on the first trial of Mr.. A j. Hamilton, of Texas 1t
was thought that this evidenced that successful effort
might be made to unite the somewhat dscordant ele
ments of the opposition to Sherman We confess that
we have our doubts. Atany rate, we notsanguine
nor if an organization effected, would we look tor
immediate legislation for any beneficial purpose The
Republican leaders, silent while the organization IS
pending will become bIabant when that question IS dis
posed Of no matter how, and opposition looking at
the contest of November next will do all it can to en-
barrass the Administration and clog the wheels OF gov
eminent in order that the direction of its machinery
may be committed to other hands than those by whom
its executive operations are now controlled.
We see that Tom Corwin, the Ohio Wagon Boy"
Whom Senator and subsequently Secretary of the Treas
ury under Mr. Fillmore, is spoken of for the Speaker
ship, he being now member Of the House. Mr. Cor
win is very genial social sort of person, and popular
but politically possessed of two principles onlyhatred
oF nnroooracv apd lovn of Tom
P. S. It will be seen that the Geographic despatch
received since the above remarks penned confirms
our fears. We see no immediate hope for organza-
ton.

BSg@ There is old story OF man, who, when about
to die called his SONS together and told them that he left
them treasure buried somewhere in his orchard not
more than foot or two from the surface. He was too
feeble to either show them the place describe it TO
them, but if they sought they would find it.
The man died. and his sons, anxious for the treasure
went diligently work, and dug every spot of the
ground thoroughly, but without finding the treasure
However, the ground being thoroughly prepared, they
planted it, and the abundant crops which rewarded their
labor let them into the meaning of the old mans words
SOW, think that the agitation for non-intercourse
with the North may result in manner somewhat SINH
lar. Its benefits may not be realized anticipated and
yet still be realized If the spirit aroused should lead
even one years extra economy-to one years re-
turn to something like former times, it would produce
kind nf independence, personally, that would be even
more pleasant than that independence of the North so
lied to make both ends meet knowing not how to raise
the funds to pay heavy store bills, it make little Off
ference whether the goods were or were not imported
directly. A year or two Of homespuns and domestics
of avoidance of Northern and European and all other
necessaries would result in greater feeling of indie
pendence than could be procured by any number o.
conventions and pronunciamentoes.
Besides, the effort made perhaps, to punish the North
would result in building up the South The money
saved would form that dsposabe capital so necessary
for manufacturing success and so essential to
cial enterprise. Will the effort be made?
