Ca.s,us M. Clay and His LIteratnre.

The London Economist describes the letter
of Cassius NJ. Clay, United States Minister to
Russia, addressed to the London Times, as
"a very model of feeble reasoning and ques-
tionable TASTE" We suspect that the Ecoho-
mist is in the right. Whatever talents NJ.
Olsy may possess as a ~diplomatist, it is
doubtful whether his forte is IA writing
semiofRcial letters to newsp' .pers in coun-
tries to whose GovernpGnt be is not &C.
credited.
We can hardly believe that he was com
missioued by the Government to proclaim to
the world that the Administration of Mr.,
Lincoln proposes to subiugate the seeded
States; or that it really desires to be placed
before the world in that light. His official
character gives to his productions an i'm
p~ortance to which otherwise they woulC
have no title, and it is easy to imagine diff
culties that may grow out of his habit o
loose writing, and his greed of notoriety
which will render It advisable for the Gov
err ment to dispense with his services AM
disavoW his declarations.

punishment Of sedlnOn In MICHIGAN.

Punishment Of seditiOn In Michigan.
The Dayton Empire exhibits a good deal
of alarm at the provisions of a bill that has
recently been introduced in the Legislature
of Michigan, to provide for the punishment
of such as, during periods of wal, insurrec-
ton or rebellion, attempt to increase the
disturbance and give aid and comfort to the
enemy by the publication Of seditious and
infsmmatory articles pamphlets and the like.
We suppose that these Offenses are already
punishable under tie laws Of the United
States; and such, we understand, was sub
stautially the ruling Of Judge Leavitt Of the
District Court in a preliminary question
that arose in the case Of Ogilvie Byron
Young, now awaiting trial upon a charge of
treason before that tribunal.
The bill which Ne publish below, would
seem to provide for the punishment Of the
crime of seditiOn against the United States
BY State authority. How this is in con-
formity with the constitutional relations
between the State and the National politics
Is a question we will not attempt to decide
but the power Of the State to define and
punish treason and sedition against itseli
has been repeatedly recognized by the high

JeG. DavIs-His Fast.

This is the day set apart by the resolution
Of the Confederate Congress and the proc
lsmation Of Mr.. Jefferson Davis, as a season
of fasting and prayer throughout Secession
dom. There has been, heretofore, a good
deal Of besieging of the Throne of Grace,
with a view to enlist its forces upon that
side; but, on this occasion, no doubt the
onslaught viii be tremendous. The fasting
will probably be confined principally TO
those who are short of provisions.

The Union Convention at wheeling
Afternoon session.

WHEELING, VA, June l2-Mr. Dorsey, of
Monongalia, offered resolutions declaring
that it shall be a part of the business of this
Convention to make the requisite prepara-
tory arrangements for separation from East
ern Virginia, and the formation of a new
State, composed Of the counties represented
here; the said preliminary arrangements,
when completed, to be submitted for APP
proval to the Legislature now convened in
this city, as the only loyal and legitimate
Legislature of Virginia; thence to the Con-
grees of the United States.
This mode is preferable to reconstructing
the Government Of Virginia, as equally
loyal, and relieves fiom Overwhelming the
State debt, no part of which Western Vir-
ginia yves in equity, or the no less disas-
trous consequences Of reputation.
These resolutions, at the request of several
members, were withdrawn for the present.
After the appointment of a Committee of
Thirteen to prepare business, the Convention
adjourned, to meet at ten o'clock tomorrow
at the United States Court room.

boils within SO fercely, that nothing but

He is moreover a man of rare accomplish

himself blind drunk as quickly as any man.

What might be fifty denominated a p~oetical
bully. Last fall, out in Texas, he got into a
dreadful row with A, q friend of his.
Straiebtway he sent a note, to-wit:

To which A. replies instanter:
"A.'s compliments to Wigfall, begs to as.
sure him thai be is too id big a oward tc
fulfill any such an engagement, if entered
into"
Several days elapse.
A. hears nothing of Wigfall. At length
one rainy afternoon, as he was sitting alone
in his room writing, a gentle rap came upon
the door-a rap as soft as the tap of a dove
"Come in!'
The door slowly opened, and there stood
Wigfall.
"Well, A" said he meekly, "the lion and
the lamb shall sometimes meet, you know
"D-n you" retorted A., (which is the

Powelps Last Picture -'Perry's Victory
I, TeUe ErIe.O

PoveIpe Last Picture f'Perry's Victory
on Lake Erie"
w. II. Powell, the Ohio Artist, has com.
pleted the Cartoon Of his great work, Per-
rvs Victory on Lake Erie" which has been
ordered from him by the State for the ro-
tunda of the Capital at Columbus. The
picture is sixteen feet by twelve, and the
figures their natural size. The period Of the
action portrayed is when the youthful hero
boldly pushes from the Laurence to bring
up the Niagara. 1t is thus spoken Of by the
New York Herald:
In the picture Perry is seen in his PIN
nance leaving the Laurence, the stars aud
stripes floating at the bow, and the hero
himself standing in the center, with his hand
extended in acknowledgment of the cheers
which greet him from his disabled flag ship.
The balls are flying about him in every di-
r%ection, and one has just struck the oar from
the hands of q negro, whose alarm is charac-
teristically depicted. Perry's brother, a boy
about twelve years o fage, is seen Juggling at
his coat, in the vain effort TO have him make
a less conspicuous mark. The incident is
rendered the more interesting by the fact
that the model who sat for the little mid
shipman is the grand. son Of Commodore
ASAAgi o 9Ounk NiulOuj son OI Iue Mtl-
known clergyman of that name, and said to
bear a striking resemblance to the hero Of
Lake Erie.
The figure of Perry is, ofcourse, the central
Object in the picture. 1t is admirably drawn,
ard conveys in the freedom and unstudied
elegance Gifts attitude a correct idea of him
as he is described by those who knew him.
The head is gracefully set on the shoulders,
and the features have a refinement which
contrast we'll with the broad, massive face Of
his boats crew. These are all studies taken
from the navy yard, and are distinct types in
their way. They are sketched with a vigor
and individuality that impart to them a
sepsrate interest, and that realize all the
excitement of the scene, So carefully, in
deed, has each point Of the picture been made
to tell, that the story is complete, even to its
miuutest details. We fancy that we have,
under our own eyes, the battle itself, with
all its shifting incidents and motions. A
more creditable work, taking into account
| its motive and the boldness with which it
has been drawn, has never been attempted
bv an American artist. If painted with the
same truthfulness with which it was de-
signed, it will deserve to rank with the best
historical compositions of the French and
German schools.
