LeWia CaSa.

The Charleston Mercury, of the 10th,
pays its respects to the venerable Lewis
Cass, as follows: -rfF 1.-I
"For the hoary-headed trickster, and
,humbug, who has just retired from the Cab
met because war is not made on South
;Csrolipa, we have only to say, that his pres
ent imbecility equals his past treschery to
this section. Had he been early absent
from the Presidents councils his Admins
tration might have been more successful"
So we go. This same Lewis Cass, while
American Minister to the French Court,
Electrified the world by his splendid mani
festo against the attempt Of the foreign
Powers to place this country under their
Surveillance, on the pretext of interfering
with the interests of slavery in the United
States, and no where was it more raptur-
.ously applauded than in the Southern
States, sensitive as these States have al
ways been in regard to foreign sggressions.
He fought with gallantry for bis coun-
try during the late war, and during his
connection with Mr.. Bucbanau's Admins
tratlon steadily supported the policy of the
Southern leaders. Struck down in ls48,

clans of the South, be is now reviled and

The editor of the Wheeling InteQigeneer
writes to that paper from Washington un-
der date of December 10th:
An amusing scene, if anything can be
said to be amusing here these times, occur
red yesterday, on the outside of the galie-
ry of the Senate, just after l had closed
my letter. During the speech of Senator
Iverson, of Georgia. or rather during that
portion of it in which be made reference
very distasteful, if not insulting reference
to Douglas, an Illinois Democrat, sit
ting in the gallery, proceeded to berate "
erson, to some of his companions, as a
''damned-nigger driver A few moments
after, he was tapped on the shoulder by a
gentleman, who requested his presence
without the galleries, when the following
colloquy ensued:
Stranger, Ito the Illinois Democrat -
"What did you mean, sir, by using the
expression, "damned nigger-driver," few
moments agoq'
Illinois Democrat-"I don't know that
it is any business of yours, sir, what |
meant. My remarks were not addressed
to you."
Stranger-"You spoke of Iverson as a
damned nigger-driver, sir; and | am an
owner of niggers, and live in Alabama. -
Illinois Democrat-"Well, sir, if you
own some niggers, suppose you drive
them, don't you?"
Alabamian-"That is none of your
business, sir. l consider myself insulted
by the remark that you made, and bere's
my card, (takipg out his card and extend
ing finely engraved piece of enamled
card J give me yours if you please"
Illinois Democrat-"I don't want your
card, sir. 1 live in Illinois, and we don't
recognize the code out there. l don't
know anythiug about your cards, and l
don't want any of them!"
Alabamian-"Well. sir, l want an apol
ogy or satisfaction for your remark"
Illinois Democrat-"If you want any
satisfaction out of me, you can have it,
Here's just as good place, and as good
chance, as ever you will get"
Alabamian-"That is not the way gen.
tlemen do in my country. | want the
satisfaction known among gentlemen"
Illinois Democrat-"It's the way gen.
tlemeh do in nv country, and all other
kinds of people, too; and 1 say to YOU, if
you want any satisfaction out Of me, now's
your time, and here's the place. Right
here, sir"
By this time, large crowd had gather
about both parties, while they stood for
moment eyeing each other, and neither
one saying word. The Alabamian was
at the end of his string. To draw knife
or pistol, wouldn't do. To pitch into his
stalwart antagonist, wouldn't do either;
and so he stood upon bis point of honor.
Happily for all concerned, his friends here
interfered, and relieved him, and saved the
credit of all concerned, and especially the
National Capitol, from disgraceful row.

The Land beyond the Mountains

The little child was dying. His weary
limbs were racked with pain no more
The flush was fading from his thin cheeks.
and the fever that had been for weeks dry
ing up his blood, was now cooling rapidly
under the touch of the icy hand that WAS
upon him.
There were sounds and tokens of bitter
but suppressed grief in that dim chamber,
for the dying boy was one very dear to
many hearts.
They knew that he was departing, and
the thought was hard to bear; but they
tried to command their feelings that they
might not disturb the last moments of their
darling.
The father aud rae.thtssr and the kind
physician stood beside dear Eddy's bed,
and watched bis heavy breathing. He had
been silent for some time, and appeared to
sleep. They thought it might be thus
that be would pass away but suddenly his
blue eyes opened wide and clear, and a
beautiful smils broke over his features.-
He looked upward and forward first, then
turning his eyes upon his mothers face
said in sweet voice:
another, what is the name of the beau
tiful country that l see beyond the mouu-
tains-the high mountaius!"
81 see nothing my child" said the moth
er; ''ihere are no mountains in the sight of
CUR our nUuse.
"Look there, dear dear iHiii05tner, said the
child, pointing upwards, "yonder are the
mountains. Can you see them now?" he
asked in tones of the greatest astonish-
ment, as bis mother shook her head.
"They are near me now-so large and
high and behind them the country looks so
beautiful and the people are so happy
there are no sick children there! Papa,
can you not see beyond the mountains!-
Tell me the name of the land.''
The parents glanced at each other, and
with united veice replied, 1.-The land you
see is Heaven, is it not my child"
eyes, it is Heaven. I thought that
must be the name. O, let me go-but
how shall cross those mountains9 Fa-
ther, will you not carry me! take me in
your arms and carry me, for they call me
from the other side, and l MUST CO."
There was not dry eye in the chamber,
and upon every heart there fell solemn
awe, as if the curtain which concealed its
mysteries was about to be withdrawn.
40, mother-O, father, do not cry, but
come with me and cross the mountains--O
comet' and thus be entreated with a
strength and earnestness which astonish-
ed all.
The chamber was filled with wonder
ing, awe-strlcken friends. At length be
turned to his mother, with face beaminc
with rapturous delight and stretching out
his little arms for last embrace, he cried,
"Good-bye, mother; l am going; but don't
you be afraid-the strong man has come
to carry me over the mountains"
Those were his parting words. Upon
his mothers breast he breathed his last
and they laid the little fair body down
again upon the pillows, and closed the lids
over the beautiful blue eyes, over which
the mist Of death had gathered heavily,
and bowing by the bedside they prayed
with submissive, but bleeding hearts, and
said, 1.-THE Lord gave, and the Lord takelh
away; blessed be The name Of the Lord"

EFFECT oE SECESSION ON SOUTHERN
TRADE.-By private letter from gen.
tleman occupying prominent position
among the business men of Louisiana, we
are informed that the effect Of the secession
agitation is becoming disastrous in that
quarter. As an instance of the extent Of
the depression, the writer mentions the fact
that the business of the New Orleans,
jackson d Great Northern Railroad, (lbe
principal road of that sectiou,) has, during
the past few weeks dwindled to ''almost
nothing" Other instances Of prostration
of trade are given by the same writer.

is scarcely breath Of wind stirring-thc
soldiers have just dincd, and are now, for the
most part, taking it easy under the shade
of the trees in our camp, while the sun pours
down his beams with force and intensity
which makes many of US wish we could cx-
change our thick wooden shirts for something
fifty per cent. lighter. Few of us, | pre-
sumo, will be sorry when this life Of inaction
gives place to one of cxcitement-many u
longing eye is cast Southwark, many an i'm
patient foot aches to tread the "sacred soil"
which we can see across the river. Well, I
suppose we must learn to exercise the virtue
Of patience. Our time will come-perhaps
sooner than many Of us at present antici-
pate.
The Biddeford boys are we'll, with ono or
two exceptions, and are, of course, in good
spirits. There are no "weak kneed" indi-
vduals in the company. But one spirit
rules them; it is to bring this unfortunate
complication rapidly to an honorable close by
carrying the flag which waves over our col
oncl's tent triumphantly wherever its su.
premacy is disputed, and wherever traitors
seek to destroy the Union Of which it is the
emblem.

LESr's GREAT NATIONAL Circus, which is
to be here on "Wednesday next, is an old es-
tablshed exhibition which has never failed
to give the most perfect satisfaction whencv-
er 1t has visited this place. Those who have
ever attended the performances given by
Sands, Lent 4 Co., and, later, by Welch 4
Lent, will fully coincide in thisassertion. The
inducements held out for patronage the pres
cnt season appear osurpas any thing which
the troupe has offered in former years. 1t is
stated in some Of the papers that to see the
magnificent train Of premium mules which
draw the baggage wagons is alone worth the
price Of admission-and these are to be seen
for nothing. The list OF performers includes
some Of the most celebrated riders and gym
nasts in the country, while the stud of high.
ly trained horses, ponies and mules is said to
bc unsurpassed in America. The yeritable
and inimitable ice Pentland is the clown.
