Of this city The deceased became publicly
known 10 Brooklyn by her active efforts on be-
half OF the Southern Relief Fund, to relieve
the destitute ut the South, two years ago. In
private life she was beloved for her amlablllty
OF character. She was amember OF st. Peters
Episcopal Church OF this city, and had resided
here for many years. Her health failing she
went South with her husband, hoping that
more genial climate might restore her. But
she was beyond earthly aid, and Ter family
circle and many devoted friends in this city,

RAILROAD IN MARYLAND. I've under
stand that the Commissioners appointed under
the recent act of the Legislature for the survey
of route from Point Lookout in st. Mary S
county to some point in Prince George county
have reached Mount Pleasant, in the western
section of our county. According to this survey,
the line Of route will pass through our county a
distance Of about fifteen miles. The point at
which it is proposed to connect the road with
the Baltimore and Potomac road, in Prince
Georges county, is, Of course, as yet undeter-
mined. The route, as far as the survey has
progressed, is, we understand, very level. This
road can therefore be easily built and at COM
paratively little cost.-P6rt Tobacco Times.
SPECIMENS OF ART On Thursday last,
Messrs. Gait & Bro, jewelers., Washington,
received several fine specimens Of art, sentlro

tor. In this collection is cuptured vase OF
exquisite beauty and finish, chiseled out OF
statuary marble. Accompanying this are two
life size busts, in marble, one Of Moses, and the
other of Alexander Hamilton, the latter having
been ordered by the United States Government.
| That OF Alexander Hamilton is said to be an
admirable likeness.
Fruit and vegetable farming, and the culture
Of the grape, will probably be more extensively
carried on in Virginia next year, than ever be-
fore, and the facilities by rivers and railroads,
for freighting the produce of the land to mar
ket, will be better and greater than ever be-
| fore. We learn, too, that greater breadth OF
land has been sown in wheat than there was
last year, Notwithstanding the partial failure
| in some sections Of the State.

ALEXANDRIA.

Mr.. JOHN S. PENDLEToN, died at Redwood,
near Culpeper Court House, on Thursday last.
He had been in failing health for some time,
and his decease wasnot, therefore, unexpected
In former days he was an active and proml-
nent public man, and was repeatedly honored
by his fellow citizens, with marks of respect
and confidence. He had served for several
sessions in the Legislature of Virginia, for
several terms as a Representative in Congress,
and had also been Minister to one of the South
American governments-in all OF which capa-
cities he obtained praise and distinction As a
popular orator he possessed powers not often
seen, and his public addresses were always lis
tened TO and appauded by the people before
whom he spoke. Some of his efforts, in ex-
cited party times, will long be recoilected as
among the most effective political appeals ever
heard in the State He was warm, impusive,
and eloquent, decided in his opinions, and in
their expression, aud often did not measure his
language, but he had kind heart, and genial
nature, which constantly drew to him attached
friends. Ardent in his feelings, he enlisted in
the cause which he espoused with zeal, which
always won him the appreciation Of those with
whom he was associated and acted This brief
tribute of respect to his memory, and Of ac-
Acknowledgement for his services, in public
capacity, as we'll as of regard for him as an
old friend, is due from the writer of this, who
sincerely regrets lin common with numbers of
citizens, in all portions of this State, and es-
pecially in this section OF it,) his death, and
remembers with mourniul feelings, now, many
pleasant and happy hours spent with him,
even in the turmoil Of politics, and especially
in the quiet enjoyments of private converse
and life

STIRRING EWS.-The late eruptions Of
Mount Vesuvius, in Italy, Mount Hecla, in
Iceland the terrible earthquakes at ST. Thomas
etc., are perhaps only the preliminaries to
grander catastrophes. They seem to have
already commenced. In q remote region. on a
majestic scale. The latest news from the Sand
wich Islands gives the details OF the most ter
rife earthquakes and volcanic eruptlons ever
experienced there-puttlng into the shade the
most terrible records found either in history or
tradition. Even the proverbially cool philoso-
piers are getting alarmed. Prof. Looms, OF
New Haven, begins to consider the earth very
unsafe place to stay on any longer, from the
fact that the late volcanic manifestations have
been 50 general in their character, that there is
no longer any doubt about the theory that all
volcanoes have not local, but general and
common origin in the central liquid parts OF our
globe where the most intense heat prevails.
La comparison to this interior liquid mass the
crust on which we live must be excessively thin.
Prof. LOOMS thinks that it is proved now that
these eruptons are caused by water getting in
to that central fire, where, after having been
converted into steam by the heat, it exerts a
most enormous pressure on the earth's crust,
upheaving, shaking, bursting it open, ejectlng
the interior liquid mass which we call lava,
etc. He thinks there is now great danger OF
the water in the ocean getting through the crust
into that central fire, and, having been changed
into steam, at any moment blowing the whole
ball to pieces. In fact, he compares our earth
to huge seamboier, under extra high pres
sure.
The fate in store for US poor mortais u.s. in
accordance with our learned Professor, the
same as that which befethe inhabitants of the
planet once existing between Mars and Jupiter.
This planet, about fifty times larger then the
earth, was from such cause, it is thought,
blown into several hundred pieces of these
ninety-seven have been discovered by astrono
mers; they are called asteroids. -Atning Journal
Nevertheless, it is the general belief, that
the earth will last long time yet.
CUBA-An official banquet was given in
Havana, yesterday, by the Captain General, at
which Admiral Hoff aud other officers of the
American squadron were the principal guests
Gen. Lersundi made speech, in the course of
which he admitted that had he been born in
the U. s., he would, in all probability, have
been radical republican; but being a native
of Spain, he was monarchical, with liberal
ideas. He closed with toast to the American
Union, and It's rulers and people. Admiral
Hoff offered toast in honor of Spain, saying
the Governments Of Spain and the u. S. had
been friends for seventy years, and he hoped
they would ever remain so. The toast was re-
ceived with great applause,

Lobdell, who wrote most of those vulgar,
beastly, and blasphemous articles that has
made Brick Pomeroy's /" paper so popu-

railroad disaster in New York State. This
is the wretch who so persistently reioiced
