An, Arkansas correspondent, who

Mr.. Brownlow, of the Knoxville Tenn
Wing, wrote to the latter stating that
he had learned with pleasure, upon
whathe considered reliable authority"
that Mr.. Brownlow was about to ioi,r

able date of that interesting occurrence.
Mr.. Brownlow gives the date, or at least
data for the date, as follows?

their inclination to steal-when nature

when flowers lose their odor, and
trees shed no leaves-when birds talk,
and beasts of burden laugh-when
damned spirits swap hell for HEAVIER,
with the angels of Ii ight, and pay them

Literary Marriages.

Are old maids prejudices against
marriages with poets and novelists, and
writers generally, built on any ground
ofreason? You remember how unhap-
ny was Byron's marriage. Shelley's
was no better. Milton's three mar
riages were allunhappy. Campbell was
wrctchcd every way, What an angelic
patience Tom Moorcs wife possessed !;
how often must her heart have been
wrung by her husband as we'll as chill
dren: you know how unfortunately all
turned out. Sir Edward BulwcrL Lytton
is separated from his wife,. Mr.. Charles
Dickens has parted from his wife. Mrs.
Norton has quilted her husband. Mrs.
Fanny Kcmble has fed hers. Rogers,
Pope, Macaulcy, Hume, Gibbon, all re-
maincd bachclors-most wisely. Col
eridgc left his wife to starve. Charles
Lamb kept out of the moose. Addison
got married and found consolation only
in the bottle; and by strngc coinci-
dcncc, Lowell Stowell $50 closely resem-
bling Addison in many particulars lived
happily until late in life he married a
lady bearing the same title as the woman
who poisoned Addison's last years.
Swift tnevermarricd. Bolingbrokc quar-
relied and parted with his wife. Pitt
never married. Washington Irving was
unmarried. Both of Sheridan's mar
riages were NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. s
will is supposed to exhibit evidences of
:.n unhappy marriage.

Postage Stamps.

The Albany Journal Of 26th ult. says
the government is enjoying the benefit
of Il tolerably large loan from the peo-
pie, on which it pays no interest, and,
from the nature-Of the case, will prob
ably never have to repay the principal.
This is the amount of postage stamps
already sold but not yet used.
The returns for each succeeding quar-
ter, from the commencement Of their
use in the United States, show that the
public have been gradually purchasing
them In larger quantities than they use
them, until ut this time the government
has been paid nearly a million of dol
lars tor postage stamps and stamped en-
velopcs, bought by individuals or post
masters, which have not, thus far, been
used by the purchasers. As fast rs the
government redccms these, by perform
ing the mail service they cntitle the
holder to, it issues others. A consider
able number are necessarily purchased
and kept OH hand in advance of their
use by the business men and others, and
another considerable amount are doing
duty as circulating medium for small
remittanccs by mail. Hence it is evil
dent that the government gains by them
Ito the amount of one million of dollars
or more), the same. permanent advan-
tage that a bank of issue docs by circu-
lating notes.

THE CONGRESSIONAL APPORTIONMENT
UNDER THE New CENsus.-The aggre-
gate number of Representatives. in Con-
grcss is not fixed by the Constitution,
which simply requires that the number
of Representative shall not exceed l
for every 10000 inhabitants, and that
each State shall have at least Repre-
sentative. The number Of Represent
ativcs, in fact, has varied under differ
cnt apportionments, but by act OF Con-
grcss in 1850 it was fixed at 233, and
that will be the number to control the
next apportionment. The present act
ual number of Representatives is four
larger, namely 237, because since the
apportionment of 1850, one additional
Representative has been allowed to
California, two to Minnesota, and one
to Oregon. But this temporary in
crease will cease with the 37th Con-
grcss, for which elections were made
this fall, and the apportionn!ent under
the new census will restore the num-
bcr to 233.
The aggregate Representative popu-
lation, as is we'll known, is ascertained
in the words of the Constitution, by
"adding to the whole number Of free
persons including those bound to SER
vice for term Of years, and excluding
Ins'ians not taxed d)-tliree-tifths Of all
other persons" In other words, the
aggregate population of the whole I'm
ion, slaves included, is diminished by
deduction of two-titths Of the number
of slaves. In 1850 the aggregate free
population was 19,847, ,0O1; the slaves
were 8, POO, ,G34; and the Representative
population was accordingly 21, ,767, 7,673.
This number divided by 23S, gave the
ratio 93,423, already mentioned. tits
generally expected that the aggregate
population under the present census
will be found to have increased to thir-
ty or thirty-three millions: for the pur-
poses of the apportionment, makingthe
constitutional deduction for slaves, it
will not probably exceed 100000 600.
Dividing this by 2s3, We will have about
12S, 500 as the ratio for a Representative.

True Freedom--.How to Gain It.
3y CHARLES MACkAY.

We want no flag. no Haunting rag,
For liberty to fight;
We want no blaze of murdcrous guns,
To struggle for the right.
Our spears and swords are printed words,
The mind our battle plain;
We've won such victories before,
And so we shall again.
We love no triumphs sprung of force
They stain her brightest cause;
IT'S not in blood that Liberty
Inscribcs her civil laws.
She writes them on tho peoples heart,
In language clear and plain;
We've won such victories before,
And so we shall again.
We Weld to none in earnest love
OF Freedoms cause sublime;
We Join the cry Fraternity!
We keep the march of Time.
And yet we grasp no pike no spcar,*-7
Our victories to obtain;
We've won without their MD before,
And so we shall again.
We want no aid of barricadc,
To show II front to wrong;
We have citadel in truth,
More durable and strong.
Calm words, great thoughts, unflinching faith
Have never striven in vain;
THEY'VE won our battle many time,
And so they shall again.
Peace, progress, knowledge, brotherhood
The ignorant may snccr,
The bad deny; but We rely,
To sec their triumph near;
No widow $ moan shall load our cause,
No blood of brethren slain;
We've won without such aid before,
And so we shall again.
LONGING.
The feeling of sadness and longing,
That is not akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only
As mist resembles the rain.
