A Low Voice IN Woman.

Yes, we sgree with that old poet
who said that a low, soft voice, was
an "exceilentsthing TO women" In
deed, we fell inclined to 60 much
farther than he ahas gone on this
subject, and call it one of her Crown
ing charms. No matter what charms
she may have, she may be as fair the
I'reian Helen, and as the famous
Hspatia Of the ancient times; she
may have all the accomplishments
requisite at the present day, and
ever, advantage that wealth can be-
stow, and yet if she lacks a. low,
sweet Voice, she can never be really
faseinating,1sAgiIsss = ?. 'gvsss a. { /. : I
How often the spell of beauty is
rudeIy; broken by coarse, loud talk
ing. How often you are irresisti-,
bly, drawn to Cd Plsin,. naassuning
woman, whose soft silver tones rem
der her possibly attractive. Be-
sides, we fancy we can Judge ofthe
character by the voice; the bland.
smooth. fawning lone seems to us to
betoken deceit and hypocracy as in
yariably as the musical subdued,
voice indicates genuine refinement.

The WAY TIE ARMY FEEIs.--The secret
history Of the connection of the Administra-
ton with the proceedings at Charleston,
Will probably, if it ever comes fully out, put
the President IN a worse light than at pres
ent The Springfield Republican states that
Gen. Wool, who is an intimate friend Of the
late Secretary Of State, wrote to Gen. Cas-,
when the secession tumult was just begin
ming, and, as commander Of the department
Of the East and in charge Of Charleston
forts, asked him to obtain permission from
the cabinet to throw few chosen men into
the forts at Charleston and some other
points, promising to DO 80 without exciting
observation. Gen. Cass brought the subject
Up at meeting Of the cabinet and the per-
mission was refused The refusal was COM
municatcd to Gen. Wool, who wrote at once
to Gen. Cass, telling him that to adopt this
do-nothinc course was treason to the coun-
try and an insult 10 the army, and calling,
on him, by all motives of patriotism, and re
gard for bis reputation in future, to insist
upon it OF resign. Gen. Cass took this ed
vice, made a second effort in the cabinet,
failed, and resigned Gen. Scott has since
urged the subject repeatedly on the president,
and when the latter gave his fnal answer IN
the negative, Gen. Scott became very much
excited, and told Mr. Buchanan, in as strong
language as one gentleman could we'll use
to another, taat he onsidercd him traitor,
and that. ilhe {ScotD were not restrained by
a sense Of duty and patriotism, he would Ee-
fuse to hold his commission under him ano-
ther day.
The cfEceIs OF the army generally feel
outraged and insultod by tie course Of the
president, and especially by the position in
which he placed Major Anderson at For.
Moalrie. And though the bold act Of An
de1son has saved the country from the dis
honorable surrender Of that fort to rebel mob
the president is none the les ezecrated On
that account. Ifit had been tie intention
Of Mr Buchanan 70 exasperate the army un-
tilt should be ready to fight tie r-vold-
tlonists with will, he could have taken no
course 10 % It m55e efectualy. Some one
asked the veteran Gen Wool, the other day.
If the army would be likely to divide in case
OF secession, and fail TO obey orders from
the new president. The gallant old man
drew himself Up proudly and replied, DO
you think. sir, the army is going TO fail the
country at the moment when it is mos.
'needed Ne, sir Furthermore, allow no
"ofioer OF man under my command TO admit
''the possibility Of disunion and i'll hear that
''any one has spoken in favor ofitI will court
martial him with all possible expedition
land Gen Scott feels as DO, sir.
There can be no doubt that the officers Of
the army generally feel as Gen Wool does in
relation TO tie dishonor and peril the ad-
ministration has brought upon the country,
and the events at the Charleston forts will
have the effect to prepare the popular mind
Tor extreme measures against the seces-
sionists."

Mr.. Miles, one Of the S Carolina chiefs,
congratulated the members of the Conven-
ton, that this Fort, then only in state OF
preparation, and left wholly unnamed with
soldiers, with an implied engagement on the
par. of President Buchanan, that it shoul re-
main Sc, would inevitably falliintO their hands.
