| have heretofore been under the i'm
preston, mistaken it appears, that yOu
were not blessed with slaves in Wheeling.
But day or two ago, at the dinner table of
the Exchange, I heard two gentlemen of
your city. who are on visit here. discuss
ing in very strong terms, the effect of the
Republican doctrines upon their interest
us shareholders. One of them contended
that they ought not to go in for dissolu-
ton of the Union until the Republican
party got into power, and committed some
overt act which wonld render less secure
their rights as shareholders; whilst the
other, in loud and excited tone of voice.
declared that they ought not TO wit any
longer; that it was enough for him to see
the torch in the incendiary's hand, &C., &c.
/ should not be surprised if either of these
gentlemen own more than fifteen or twen-
ty slaves, after all their fuss upon the sub
ject; though to judge by their CONVERSE
ton, should have thought that Wheeling
was u cotton growing region, and they
owned nj least FIVE hundred slaves.
State, through its Governor and
Legislature, ,gon last night gave Mr. aIem-
niger, the EmbassadOr from South Caro-
lima, a farewell feast at the Embassy. It
was kept mp with speeches and music,
until the small hours of this morning.
And it did seem strange, to hear the band
strike up snch tunes as Hail Columbia, the
Star SpangIed Banner and Yankee Doodle,
between disunion speeches and senti-
ments, which, in Virginia's Capital, were
made by Virginia rulers, as an OratiOn to
HYDRA headed DisuniOn. But this Is mod

WHERE ARE You GONG 2-An anecdote
is told of Finney, the reyivalist, and cab
man, to the following effect:
He WIS holding forth in Rochester, and
in walk ng along the canal one day, he
came across a bohtman who was swearing
furiously. Marching up, he confronted
him, and rather abruptly asked
"SSir, do you know where you are going?"
The unsuspecting navigator innOcently
replied, that he was going up the canal on
the boat Jenny Sands.
"No, sir, you are not" said Finney.I,
boat can curry you"
The boatman looked at him with aston
ishment, for a moment. and then returned
the question:
''Sir, do you know where you are goiug?"
"I expect to go to heaven"
mo. sirI you are going right into the ca
mGI!"
And suiting the action to the word, he
pounced upon poor Finney, and tossed
him into the murky waters, where he would
have drowned, had not the bOatman re-
Tented, and fished him out.

The Hon. James Brooks, the senior edi-
tor of the New York Express, writes to that
journal from the Holy Land:
Upon my return to Bethlehem, 1 rode
by the tomb of Rachel small building
with whitened dome, and having in ita
high, oblong monument, built of brick and
stuccOed over. The spot is wild and sOii-
tary, aud not a tree spreads its shades
where rests the beautiful mother of Israel.
Christian, Jew. and MOslem all agree that
this is just the spot where Rachel was
buried, and all unite in hOnoring it. The
Turks are anxious that their ashes may
rest near hers, and hence their bodies
have been strewn under the tomb all
around the simple grave of Rachel
The sweet domestic virtues of the good
wife have won their love and admiration,
rs the tomb of AbsHlOm near the Brook of
Kcdron their detestHtion-upOn the latter
they throw stone to mark the horror of
the disobedient, while around the former
they wish when they die their bodies may
be inferred.
Nor is this wonderful. The wife worth
fourteen years service as a shepherd, must
have been worth having. The whole life
of Rachel is, indeed, one of the most
touching in Biblical history. The sweet
shepherdess has left her mark on the tomb.
The tribute to her is the tribute to good
wife, and infideI, Jew, aud Christian, all
combine to pay it. The great women of
the earth-the Zenobias and Cleopatras-
have died, been buried. and their place of
burial been forgotten; bnt to this day stands
over the grave of Rachel, not the pillar
Jacob set up, but modern monument in
its place, around which swarm pilgrims
from every land under the sun, in respect
and Difference for the faithful wife and
good mother in Israel.
