In order that they might become available
| to him be must first learn the Latin Ian
guage. At the age of forty-fye most men
would have considered this too great a task
to commence; but the desire to know the
contents of those dearly bought books, vas
| a sufficient incentive in this instance 70 in
duce the undertaking, which was soon Sd
far accomplished as to enable him to pursue
his studies in the Latin language. \ know
ledge of the Latin aided him so much that
be soon commenced the study of Greek and,
became sufficiently acquainted with It TO un-
derstand generally the meaning OF words
derived from that language, especially the
generic names foand in scientific works.
As he continued his researches, he again
felt the want Of books for reference, and de-
termined to send to Europe again for others,
among which he wantsd "Rabenhorst's
Deutschland Kryptogamen Flora" and
''Neesab Esenbek Das System der Plize and
Schwamme''-Rnd notwithstanding he feared
the contents might not be in Latin or Eng
lish, he ordered them. The books arrived
written in the German language. Again he
applied himself to the grammar Of new
language, and again he was victorious
and amply repaid for all his mental Of
forts.
In collecting specimens Of fungi, NOSES
and flowers, he came in contact with insects
which arrested bis attention, and after haT-
ing studied their history in such works on
Entomology as he could find in the country,
heag.in ordered foreign works among which
we're "Serville's Orthoptorcs' and "Ehren-
bergs lnfusores, 4" all Of which were written
IN French.
This fact did not discourage the man who
during the past Eve years had found
time, in addition TO carrying on an extensive
boot and shoe business, to acquire sufficient
knowledge of Latin and German 70 study |
text books in those languages hence he
obtained French dictionary and a French /
grammar, and nt the age ofifty, commenced /
the study of a new language, OF which he |
soon became master.
Since that. time, during the past eight |
years, he has steadily pursued his studies, /
at least one hour each day TO |
the pursuit Of some scientific treatise, and as
the legitimate result, he has become not only /
thoroughly informed in all the details Of
Botany but conyersant with nearly every
other branch Of Natural History. he has
made good collections Of plants. MOSES,
fungi and insects, all Of which are appro-
prlately classified and named. In c0nyersa-
tion with him, one becomes greatly interest
ed and encouraged by the recital Of what he
has done. and 1t was with hope that some
might take courage from this remarkable
nan that We venture 20 bring his name be-
ore the public, and alludo 10 some Of the
circumstances of his eyentful

WASHINGTON, Mar. 10. 1850
Dear Free Press:
The old watchword "All quiet
on the Potomac" has passed away to give place
to the more surprising cry of-"Fenisns on the
borders" so where we will, we hear talk of
the Fenian movement; the papers are filed with
it; our eminent writers speculate upon it, and
here at the Cspital-in its principal avenues. we
behold openly offered in big brazen letters
"Boais Of the Irish Republic"
We must give the Irishmen the credit of be-
ing patriotic people. But what can their
project amount to The question arises, can We
recognize sn Irish Republic in the United
States Can another Republic erirt within it :
Can we suffer men in our Jurisdiction, and un-
der our laws to be organized into armies, to
make war with nation with whom we arc at
peace OF course not. and Mr.. Seward says so.
Fenianism cannot long flourish here or any
where else; but while it lasts it is sOme on SEN
sstions.
The Legislative event Of the week is the
passage through both Houses Of Senator Trum-
bulls civil rights bill. As amended it pro-
yides
I. That all persons, irrespective ofcolor or con-
dition, born in the United States, shall be con-
.idered as citizens thereof, except Indians NOT
taxed, and persons subject to foreign powers.
H. That such citizens shall have the sam,

The Civil Rights Bill.


The passage by the House, on the 18th. oi

defeat OF TIE LOAN BmL.-The House
after protracted session, lasting until
nesrly midnight on Friday. defeated Secre-
tary McCulloch's Loan bill, and every sub
stitute offered for it.
The bill gave the Secretary additional
powers to convert Treasury notes, certificates
OF indebtedness, &C., into long bonds, and it
was earnestly apposed by Mr.. Stevens. Mr..
boutwell, of Mass, and others, on the ground
that 1t would give the Secretary power to
contract the currency toe rapidly and thus
bring on general financial crisis and crash.
Mr.. Morrill,, chairman of the Committee
Of Ways and Means, closed the debate in a
brief and pertinent speech, in which he
highly eologired the Secretary of the Treas
ury and defended his financial policy.
The ayes and nays resulted in the loss Of
the measure by 65 ayes to 20 nays. The
Vermont representatives all voted for the bill
IN England this would be what is known
there as :" want Of confidence vote,r anG
the Secretary of the Treasury would resign
but it is not probable that Mr.. McCulloel
| will surrender his portfolio.

CoNGREss.-The Civil Rights bill passed
the Senate Thursday, just as it came from
the House, and only requires the President s
signature to become law. whether 1t will
receive his sanction is q matter Of grave
doubt. The Democrats declare that the
Freedmen's bureau bill was mild and
inOffensiye compared with this, and conf
dentS expect the President to veto IT.
During the debate in the House on the
loan bill, Thursday, Mr., Hooper of Masss
chusetts explained the discrepancy between
the recent statements of the Secretary Of
the Treasury and the Comptroller of the
Currency, who stated in E recently published
letter that the amount actually in the Treas-
ury exceeded the amount as represented ty
the Secretary by, at least $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Hooper's statement has more impor
tance as be was member of sub-commit-
tee of the Ways and Means, appointed to
investigate the subject. He lully sustained
the accuracy of Secretary McColloch s
figures, and showed that the Comptroller
was wholly mistaken. The Committee
found that the statement Of the Secretary
that one hundred and sixteen millions re-
presents the amount now at the immediate
disposal Of the Government is strictly cor
rect.
Garret Davis in the Senate made long
speech against printing the evidence from
the Reconstruction Committee, on the
ground chat it is exparte and dis
honest. Mr.. johnson Of Maryland, who il
q member of the committee, stated that in
his opinion the evidence wss taken fairly and
without partiahsy.
