IMPORTANCE OF DECrsIoN.-A great
deal OF talent is lost 10 the world for the
want of little courage. Every dav
sends to their graves a number of OBJ
seure men, who have only renamed in
obscurity because their timiditv has
prevented them from making first ef-
fort. and who, ii thew only had been in
duced to begin, would, in all probabili-
ty, have got great lengths in the career
OF fame. The fact is that, in doing any
thing in the world worth doing, we must
not stand shivering on the bank think
ing OF the cold and danger, but Jump in
and scramble through as we can. 1t
will not do to be perpetually calculating
risks and adjusting nice chances; il did
all very well before the food, when a
man could consult his friends upon an
extended publication for . hundred and
fifty years, and live to see its success
for seven centuries afterward; but al
present a man waits and doubts, and
consults his brothers and his particular
friends, till one day he finds that he i.
sixtv-hve years Of age, so that he has
lost so much in consulting first cousins
and particular friends. that he has no
more time for over->queamishness at
present, and the opportunity slips away.
The very period Of life at which men
choose to venture, if ever, is 30 con-
fined that it is no bad rule to preach up
the necessity, in such instances, OF a
little violence done to the feelings sud
efforts made in defiance Of strict and
sober calculation.

FREDERICK DoUGLAss.-A letter from
St. Michaers, Talbot county, Md. to the
Baltimore San, gives an interesting ac-
count of Frederick Douglass visit to
that place. the first he has made since
he left there Al years ago. Some time
ago Mars hal Douglass expressed a wish
to visit his former master, Capt. Thomas
Auld, an old man now at the verge Of
the grave, infirm in body, but with a
clear and vigorous intellect. Captain
Aud expressed his desire TO NEE. his
old servant, now the Marshal Of the
District OF Columbia, and Mr.. Douglass
accordingly went there on Friday the
18th ult. The interview was pleasant
throughout. Mr.. Douglass stated that
in his book written soon after his es-
cape he had made some statements that
laps. Of time and reflection had caused
him to feel he had better have left un-
said. and for aught he said tha, was un-
just to his old master, or that had wounded
his feelings, he begged his forgiveness.
Capt. Aud replied that be had never
expected TO keep Mr.. Douglass in sla-
very. He knew Al years ago that the
Marshal was too smart 10 be a slave, and
when he sent him to Baltimore, after
his difficulty at Frieland's, instead of
selling him South, i, was with the ex-
pec;ation that he would achieve his free
dom. Before returning 10 Baltimore,
Marshal Douglass called upon Captain
Auld again TO bid him good-by. and
when they parted both wept.
In the afternoon Marshal Douglass
addressed the eolored people and large
number Of white people in grove near
the town. A summary Of his remarks
is given below.
He began by saving that has presence
there was not for the purpose of iann,ng
the flames OF sectional animosity, nor 20
create III feeling. nor yet 10 recount the
wrongs inaieied on has race for 29o
