December. 18th. saws.

The Boston correspondent of the Alta, of
December, 18th, says:
There was very select session of the Mas
sachussetts Historical Society. on Tuesday
evening last, at the residence of Hon. David
Sears, Bacon street, to hear remarks relative
TO the life and services of the late Washing
ton Irving. an honorary member. In alb
sence of the President, Hon. Robert c. Win
throp, (now in Europe) Mr. Sears presided
and in Il feeling manner announced the death
of Mr.. Irving He was followed by Profess
or Longfellow, Edward Everett Col Angus
tus Aspinwall, for many years Consul at Liv
erpool, Professor C. c. FELTON,, and Dr. Oliver
Wendell Holmes-all of whom presented
views Of the deceased author at once individ-
ually characteristic, yet, like beautiful mosaic,
comprising a finely.fnished plane of artistic
appreciation. Letters concerning the de-
ceased followed from George Ticknor and
George Sumner, and resolutions of respect
were adopted. OF course, such speakers on
so rich a theme, gave the occasion extraor-
binary interest. In fact, all those commem-
Orative gatherings of the scholars are intel
lectuAl banquets of high order.

A HEROIC LITTLE GGRI4-The Warrentown
Flag contains an account OF the death off lit
tie girl of eight years, daughter of Traverse
Cough In the absence of all older than
herself, her clothing took fire. She first
tried to suppress the flames herself; then she
asked her little sister of four years to throw
water on her but the little one ran, instead,
to call the neighbors. When they came, they
found her lying out in the yard and, in re-
ply to the question what she was doing
there ?" she said she thought if she stayed in
the house, that the house would catch fire
and burn the baby up, too. God bless the
darling" every mother will say. She retain
ed her faculties to the last, conversed freely
and bore her sufferings with a degree of for
titude remarkable for one of her age.

VERSES WRITTEN BY CooK. john L. Coo
just before his execution at Charlestown. Va
wrote letter to his wife and child. enelosin
the following verses:
lfupon this earth we're parted,
Never more u meet below.
Meet me, Oh, thou broken hearted
In that world to which 90.
In that world where time unending
Sweeps in glory bright along,
Nhere no shadows there are blending,
And no dlscord in the song.
Where the Saviour's llocks are resting,
by that river bright and fair,
And immortal glory cresting
Every head that enters there;
Where the anthem loud is pealing
Songs praise to Him alone;
Where the seraph band are kneelino.
Mid the Radiance of the Throne.
There at last hope to meet thee
Never, never more to part;
In those happy bowers to greet thee.
where no farewell tears shall start.
And again in Heaven united,
Mid those fair Elysian bowers.
wen perfect the love we plighted,
In this darkened world of ours.
Then look forward to that meeting,
-. Which shall know no blight or woe
That eternal, joyous greeting,
Mid Elysium's endless flow.

were taken to the Police office and searched.
Nothing was found to implicate the bride and

LATHAM FOR SENATOR The Standard, of
yesterday, has the following in relation to
Mr.. Latham for U. S. Senator:
We congratulate our readers and the coun.
try, upon the facts, first, that the Democratic
party has settled upon an individual for the
office of Senator, and secondly, that their
choice has fallen upon one so worthy of that
high honor. Milton S. Latham, CALIFORNIA;
favorite son, has been virtually elected to
the United States Senate Mr. Latham has
no little reason to be proud of the high
honor that has been thus thrust upon him.
1t is position, the second in the Republic.
which is usually considered full reward for
life of toll but here we have one who has
barely attained his political majority, who
has been call from the first place in his
adopted State to the second in the greatest
nation of modern times We are not indulg-
ing in hyperbole when we say, that upon
Mr.. Latham has been conferred an honor that
has been bestowed upon no citizen of the
Republic. just inaugnrated as Governor OF
the State, he is called by the voluntary suf-
| frages of her representatives to the councils
Of the confederation. As the immortal Lown
des said of the presidency, sit is an office
neither to be sought nor declined" AS Mr.
Latha.n did not seek it, neither can he de-
cline it. The regret we feel at losing Mr.
Latham's invaluable services in our domestic
administration, is alleviated by the entire
confidence we repose in the integrity and
ability of his constitutional successor.

PUNISHMENT OF THE APAcHEs IN ARIzoNA-
The Arizonian of December 29th has the fol.
lowing:
For some weeks past Capt Elliott has been
scouting in the vicinity of Dragon springs,
and on the evening of the 18th inst, discov-
cred large party of Apaches making their
way to the moutains, with horses, cattle,
mules, &c. stolen as usual from Sonora, lie
followed their trail closely; and early next
morning, about thirty miles northwest OF
Dragon Springs, while the Indians were
around their camp fires, cooking the meat of
three of the cattle they had butchered, in
tending to have a glorious feast-came in
sight Of them and prepared to attack. Di-
viding his command, he charged them from
two points. but unfortunately the horses of
the Indians hearing the noise, gave the
alarm, or the surprise would have been
complete, and not one could have escaped
he succeeded, however, in punishing them to
a degree they will long remember, killing
six warriors, besides wOunding several, ant
recovering thirty. .one head of stock, nine
horses, and two or three jackasses, also burn

ard. Hear what it says
"This arch demagogue and traitor, we sup
pose, will have the impudence TO take his
seat again in the Senate. viii Mason and
Hunter, or any other Southern Senator, per-
nit him as a peer, reeking and dripping as
he is with the blood of Southern citizens
upon his skirts, is a question for them to de-
termine In point of atrocity-deep, dark
and damning atrocity, the crime for which
Brown will expiate his life upon the gUllows,
is n small offense in comparison with that of
this man Seward. After inaugurating the
"irrepressible conflict" by traitorous and IA
natical harangues to the ignorant and de-
bauched and tanatical poruace of the North,
after persuading the old infatuated simpletOn
now in iail, that he would be doing Gods
and his country's service to come here and
murder the shareholders, and incite negro
nsurreetion at the South, and when he knew
that this attempt would be made with
sneaking inexpressibe meanness and dast-
ardly skulking cowardness, which nothing
but white-hvered murderer and scoundrel
could be guilty of, he takes himself out OF
the country, and puts an ocean between hlu
and the scene of his treason and his crimes
If such pusilanimous villain as he, Is per
mitted to occupy a seat in the most august
and respectable deliberative body which the
world can assemble--the American Senate
then. indeed, have we fallen upon evil
times-the fate of Rome will be no longer a
phantom to haunt the day-dream of ouI

Hon. Roger A. Pryor recently spoke
at Charlottesville, Va. The Review of
that place says:
He said the National Democratic
party had no longer an existence, that it
was perfectly impotent, and 50 enveloDed
By corruption that 1t absolutely needed 10
be chastensd By defeat and pripation.-
In his opinion, Lincoln's election was in
evitable, and nothing was left the South
but to show an undivided front to the ag-
gressious of the foe"
The Hon. Garrett Davis, in letter to
George D. Prentice, excusing himself
from attending q Bell ratification meet
ing in Louisville, has the following FIVE
tine personal sketch of the Democratic
candidate:
Mr.. Breckenridge is a gentleman of
good talents, of fine manners, and Of easy
and graceful elocution. His habits are
indolent, and his attainments and thoughts
superficial. He is cool, cautious and sell
fish, and yet fine boon companion.
The editor of the Cumberland MARY
land) Telegraph, the American organ,
referring to statement that the opposi-
ton party Of Alabama had, in convention,
repudiated Bell and Everett, and declar-
ed their purpose to support Breckenridge
and Lare, says:
ave prefer Mr.. Lincoln before either
of the Democratic nominees, and if driv-
en- from our supported Mr.. Bell by the
treachery Of our leading men-if our
party is to be sold out to either wing of
the democracy we are for Lincoln,
with tens of thousands of others in good
old Maryland"
1t is understood that Gov. Seward will
be present at the Minnesota Republican
State Convention, which will meet on the
18th of August, and that he will also be
present at a grand Republican mass
meeting for Wisconsin, Southern Mime
sofa, and Northern Illinois and Iowa,
which will be held at Lacrosse, about
the goth of August.
A lively contest is going on among the
New Jersey Democracy as to the fusion
question. The Breckenridge men, fearful
of making a small show in the State,
want to unite, and some of the Douglas
men willing, others not. The State
Convention meets on Wednesday, when
the matter will be decided.

The Neapolitans.

The last number of BentIey's Niscsl-
tany has an interesting and readable re-
view of M. Theodore Verne's late book
on Naples and Neapoltans," from
which we extract the following:
1t is to be remarked, in considering
the national character of the Neapoli-
tans, that populations OF most diverse
origin have successfully invaded the
country and superposed themselves upon
the primitive tribes, influencing and mod
flying to considerable extent the insti-
buttons, manners, and religious tenden-
cies of the people. In the radius of
Naples alone we meet with descendants
of eight or ten races. Thus, at Pozzuolo
there are races of an Arab colony, and
at Nocera, long occupied by Saracenic
mercenaries in the service of the Kings
of Naples, Arab words and Arabian pro-
nunciation can still be detected. Many
Norman words attest the long possession
of Salerno by those hardy adventures.
In like manner certain sonorous ex-
pressions in use among the lazzaroni at
test to their Spanish origin; the French
alone have left fewer traces than any
other people, but there are still some des-
pendants of the refugees from the Sicili-
an Tespers to be met with.
The pbysiognomy of this mixed popu-
lation is full Of originality, especially in
the lower classes. Habitually thought
less and vivacious, the latter seem to have
no one care beyond idleness and dissipa-
ton. With them there is neither public
opinion nor ambition. His intellectual
or even his spiritual life, gives no more
concern to your lazzaroni than do hi:
daily food, his clothes, and lodgings
His home is the street, and his comforter
is the sun.
/ The Neapolitans have had a parlia
mentary and constitutional government
conferred upon them on two different oc.
casions, but they have never failed witt
such a people to give way before the
traditional rule of despotism. The con
stitution was first suppressed by Ferdi
nand I. in 1928, and, once more resusci
tated, il was again suppressed by Ferdi
nand II. in 1913. III. Condor published
an inquiry in 1857 into the causes which
led to this failure, and he attributed It II
/ its just cause.-The total want OF poIitica
education among the masses, and theil
utter ignorance Of political rights. ANY
one net versed in the past, and more es
pecially the medieval, history of Italy
would say that, with the exception o
Piedmont, perhaps there Is not a realm
that Is ripe to receive a consultation II
the whole peninsula and this Is th
falIacy Of N. Condor, who attests a
much in the development of his visws
and arguing upon the moral, intellectual
= and physical prostration brought about b,
a prolonged and unmitigated despotism Q
! Church and State, would also insist tina
such despotism Is the form Of govern
