ways something of fnature's own gentility in
all young women, Except indeed, when
they get together and fall giggliug.) 1t

our rough masculine angles. A vulgar boy

is generally acquired, an offspring of the

sex, of the moral.-Buz'oer Lytton.

MARY FACTS IN A SMALL COMPASS
The number of languages spoken is 4, 1854.
The number of men is about equal to the
number of women. The average of human
life is 33 years. One quarter die before
the age of seven; half before the age of II.
To every 100, 6 reach IS years, and not
more than l in 500 will reach 80 years.
There are on earth 1,OOO,0OO,0O0 of in.
habitauts. Of them 33, 1888, 1888 die every
year; 81, 1924 die every day; 1870 every
hour and 60 per minute, or every second.
These are about balanced by an equal mum.
ber of births. The married are longer liv.
ed than the single, and above all those who
observe sober and industrious conduct
Tall men live longer than short ones. Wo.
men have more chances of life previous to
the age of fifty years than men, but fewer
after. The number of marriages are in the
76 to 1000. Marriages are more
frequent after the equinoxes-that is, dur
ing the months of June and December
Those born in spring are generally more ro-
bust than others. Births and deaths are
more frequently by night than by day
Number of men capable of bearing arms is
one fourth of the population.

WASHINGTON CITY, 10th Dec, 1860.
TO Dr.. YIN. i. CcatAam:
Ny Dear Sir.-Acccpt my thanks for your
kindness in furnishing Inc the list of names, Ac.
i is a service which highly appreciate. lnre-
Spouse to your inquiry touching the state OF
the Republic, | regret to be compelled to answer
that | sec no chance Of preserving the Union,
consistently with the rights of the South. In
all probability, South Carolina will to-day adopt
an ordinance Of secession; and the prevalent
impression here is, that the other Gulf States
will speedily rally to her support. The border
States will not follow 50 soon. but events will
oblige them to abandon the Union. 1t is evil
dent that the North will give us no guarantees.
They are rather mendins their hold; and the
committee of thirty-thiee is more likely to re-
port 4 plan Of coercion than a system Of pacIii-
cation. The Black Republicans arc beginning
to he cmboldencd ty the evidences OF submis'
sion in certain Southern States. If Virginia
and other border States had promptly backed
South Carolina, the South might have extOrted
her own conditions, and 50 the Union would
have been secure.
As it is, ! repeat, nothing can avert the
overthrow Of the Confe1cracy. All parties
here despair Of that achievement; and the e-
forts of patriots arc directed exclusively to the
end Of rescuing the country from the horrors
of civil Wal. | question if they can succeed in
the attempt. see among the Black Republl.
cans, and 4 few persons Of other parties, u splr-
it Of sullen resolve 10 bring the issue TO the ar
bitrament Of the sword. 10 be prepared for
either eventuality, Virginia should at once as
sumo an attitude OF armed expectation. For
Gods sake do not let hor lower the Southern
flag. ANY betrayal Of intirm purpose would
only prccipita,e the collision. The only safety
Of the South is in the union of the s'avehold-
ing States. Suppress, if YOU please, every
whisper Of resentment and r~epruach against
other Southern States. Declare .y"ur rights,
and proclaim your purpose TO maintain them
at every hazard. For myself, | have been 81
lent SO far, that might oppose no impeachment
to a Cancellation. When the issue is made up,
| will speak my mind. Meanwhile, | have IN
idea Of publishing an address to my constltu-
ents, stating the posture Of affairs. Let me
hear from you, and believe me, truly your
friend, ROGER a. PRYOR

CHARLESTON, Dec. o2.-[n the Legislature
yesterday, the House adopted a resolution in
structing the military committee to make pro-
visions for feeding and transporting troops; al
SO for establishing telegraphs to the principal
exposed points in the State, and giving the Go
vernon authority over all the telegraph lines in
case Of war or unprecedented invasion.
\ resolution was made the special order for

the business Of the banks of the State, with
power to send persons TO examine the banks,
their books and transactions
CHARLESTON, Dec. 22.-The Senate has all
iourned till the Sd Of January, and the House
has adopted n resolution to the same effect.
The latter is still i'll session.
The committee to whom was referred the
communication from a portion Of the members
of the Georgia Legislature, reported that the
communication provided that no secession shall
take place until South Carolina, Alabama, Mis-
s%issippi, and Florida have assembled in Con-
~rention, when final State action shall take
place. The committee state that the secession
Of South Carolina has rendered the communi-
cation useless.
Mr.. Magrath, from the committee on tho
Presidents Message, reported that they desired
q secret session on the subject.
The solicitor for preparing credentials for the
joint committee to Washington was sworn to
secrecy, and ordered to prepare the accredited
papers. These were completed to-day, and de.

WILDWOOD, Dec. :, 1850.
DEAE BRETHREN AND FRIENDS :-PerceiTing
from the public papers and otherwise learning,
that the Governor of Virginia does not feel him
self authorized to appoint n day for fasting and
prayer to the citizens Of this Commonwealth,
but that q number Of our fellow-C christians
have agreed upon the first Friday in January
Of the coming year for the purpose OF hum.
bling themselves before God in this our time
Of need and danger, l therefore appoint that
day also to be observed in the Episcopal Church
Of Virginia
I have already set forth n prayer to be used
each Sabbath in connection with our regular
services, and request that the same may form a
part Of the devotions Of that day and occasion.
Any other collects which, in the discretion OF
our ministers, shall seem suitable, may be
added to it, even though not forming part of
the daily service. The full Litany will be very
appropriate on that occasion. | trust that it
is not necessary for me to say to my brethren
Of the clergy and laity, that they should not
make this 4 fast for 'strife and debate"
but one in which, both publicly and privately,
we may humbly seek forgiveness Of God for
our many sins and His gracious guidance in the
trying times which have come upon us.

Arise and strike for Freedoms sake!
Spirits of Greene and Marion rise,
Wave. wave your banner from the skies;
Saw to the world, the tyrant's doom
Again shall be the bloody tomb!
Woe to the ain, presumptous foe,
Who would your sovereignty o'erthrow;
Whose impious stride dehes your wrath
And threatens ev'ry home and hearth;
Who fain, with murdcrous intent,
Would loose the fends on mischief bent;
Deluge your fields with blood and lire,
And cause dear Freedom to expire.
Brave sons Of a proud, noble race,
Arise and spurn such foul disgrace!
Now, We arc ready! God and right
Will shield US, if we needs must fight!
Let Northern tyrants howl and rave,
The "sunny South" shall be their grave!
