&c. W. Kimball, the United States
Consul at St. Helena, has obtained one of
the original stones from the tomb of Napo-
leon /, as contribution to the National
Monument at Washington. 1t was put on
board the U. S. steamer Mystic, which left
St. Helena Jan. 4th, for the coast Of Afri-
ca, and would probably be transferred to
the q. S. storeship Relief bound home

France, gave his consent to the removal of
the stone to Washington. Its removal was
witnessed by several French and American
officers, in company with Mr.. Kimball.
..... While on recent visit to the old
chapter house of the Cheshire Cathedral,
England, the Hon. R. G. Winthrop, of
Boston, saw two standards, somewhat bat
tered and torn, suspended over the doors
On enquiry he was told that they were the
standards of the Cheshire regiment and
that they were used in America, at Ger.
tain battle called Bunker Hill, where, it is
said, only three of the regiment escaped
without injury of some sort. The keeper
said it was understood that the Americans
got behind some sort of fence or ledge where
they could shoot others without being hit

e...... Hon. Theodore Frelinghuysen, ma
tive of New jersey, and now Chancellor Of
the University of New York, who stood a
good chance fifteen years ago of being Pres.
ident of the United States, took to himself
a wife two years ago, at the ripe age of
seventy-two, (himself and not the wife, }
and last week he had born to him son and
heir. He will probably name the boy after
himself, Theodore meaning God-given--
twill certainly be appropriate. Such in
stances of sbetter late than never are not
very common, but there have been some
very remarkable cases. Sir Stephen Fox,
the father of James Fox, was married at
the age of eighty, and was afterwards bles-
sed with three sons. Mr.. Frelinghuysen is
now married for the second time. He had
DO children by his first wife.
We had the pleasure of meeting an
Alabama merchant in our city Saturday,
just returning from Charleston. He has
purchased his entire stock of spring and
summer goods in that city, and represents
that he found every thing necessary to CON-
plete it and without any difficulty. Sever
al other merchants arrived with himself,
and determined to supply themselves there,
if the city could equal their demands. He
informed US that the merchants of Charles,
ton were importing heavy stocks of goods
in anticipation of general patronage from
the Southern States, and unless their ex-
pectations should be realized, they will me-
cessarily suffer the consequence Of serious
losses. After the great hue and cry in the
South about non.intercourse, the Charleston
merchants have right to expect that their
efforts to establish Southern independence
will be met with due encouragement from
Southern merchants. 1t remains now for
the latter to show to the world, and particu-
larly to our political enemies, and the en-
dorsers of the renegade Helpers infamous
book, whether all their talk and resolutions
shall amount to something, or turn out, as
usual, to be nothing more substantial than
sound and fury, signifying nothing The
South has stulti6ed itself long enough, and
we hope for once, that it will show its in
dependence and determine to rely on its own
Incompatible and inexhaustible resources.
If it refuses to encourage Charleston after
the care and expense outlaid by her merch-
ants to meet the Southern trade, We may
as we'll be resigned at once and for all time,
to permanent and irretrievable vassalage
to the North. Columbus San.
