GEN. MARIoN's SwoRD-We were shown
few days ago, by Philidore S. Bell, esq, a
member of the bar of this city, the Identical
sword worn by the famous partisan fighter,
Gen. Marion, in the first war Of the Republic.
The sword was captured by Captain Edward
McKiege (then Acting Master y. S. Navy,
May lst, 1862, at St. Mary Ga. twas found
concealed on the top of an old wardrobe in an
ancient stone house. 1t was presented by Capt.
McKiege to Commodore Meade, of the navy,
who presented it to Maj. Gen. Geo, G. Meade,
who again presented it to the gentleman ia
whose possession it now is. The blade is an
exceedingly fine one. The notices on The
blade are characteristic of olden chivalry,. ex,
pressing on one side No me saqueS sin nrazoan,
1''Never draw me without cause, y and the
other, "No me embatnes SIN honor" .'Never
sheath me without honor Gen. Marion's
name is rudely carved on the handle, bearing
date l773. It is probable that the sword will
find its way back to Georgia. Philadelphia

Is PRINCIPLE VS. .ExPEDIENCY

We recommend to the perusal and commen
dation of our readers, the following extract from
Rev. Dr.. Dabney's recently published DE
fence of Virginia, and through her, Of the
South -
''Thc most fearful consequence OF the des-
potic government to which the South is now
subjected, is not the plundering Of our goods,
nor the abridgm OF privileges, nor the death
of innocent men, but the degrading aud de-
bauching of the moral sensibilities and princi-
ples Of the helpless victims. The weapon of
arbitrary rulers is physical force; the shield Of
its victims is usually evasion and duplicity.-
Again few minds and consciences have that
stable independence which remains erect and
undebauched amidst the disappointments,
anguish, and losses of defeat and the deser-
ton of numbers, and the obloquy Of a lost
cause. Hence it has usually been found, in
the history of subjugated nations, that they
crowning Woe-a depraved, cringing, and
cowardly spirit. The wisest, kindest, most
patriotic thing which any mau can do for his
country, amidst such calamities, is to aid in
preserving and reinstating the tottering princi-
pes OF his countrymen; to teach them, while
they give place to ineyorable force, to abate
nothing Of righteous convictions and OF self
respect And in his work he is as really a
benefactor of the conquerors as of the conquer
ed. For thus he aids in preserving that pre-
cious seed of men, who arc men of principle,
and not of expediency; who alone (if any CAM
are able to reconstruct society, after the tumult
Of faction shall have spent its rage, upon the
foundations of truth and justice. The men at
the North who have stood firmly aloof from
the errors and crimes of this revolution, and
the men at the South who have not been un-
manned and debauched by defeat--these are
the men whom Providence will call forth from
their secusion, when the fury Of fanaticism
shall have done its worst, to repair its mis-
chiefs, and save America from chronic anarchy
and barbarism if, indeed, any rescue is de-
signed for us. -

!. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

A New York Bohemian writes to a Western
paper: by way OF contrast between the nom
success ofjournaism. as profession, and the
prosperity attending any other calling, let me
mention the fact that an old man and woman
who have for years sold apples and nuts in
Spruce street, under the shadow OF the Trl-
bune building, are to day worth $4,000 or
$4,000 apiece, while not one of the writer's OF
that Journal, has much more than enough to
bury him decently." rEG.f@

land, fallen heir to a baronetcy and E5, 900
year. Through the intercession Of the late
Sir Frederick Bruce, General Grant has
discharged Pollok from the service.
'Peregrine Pickle alludes to Boston girls
as follows in the Chicago Tribune: "fte am
bition of every young Boston girl is to live IN
brown stone front, with two bow windows
and a brass knccker, befores she dies Having
accomplished that and attended a course OF
medical lecture, she is ready TO depart IN
peace, for after that all is vanity.
