in becoming courtiers in their turn. * * * * We may also remark that the republicans of the New World showed themselves all the more open and generous in their manifestations of hospitality, that they are conscious of their strength, and that their independence is irrevocably secured. Several incidents might be cited to show the truth of this remark of New York. The bells of the oldest Episcopalian church pealed out "God Save the Queen." No citizen was alarmed thereby; and yet, when Dr. Irving, the officiating minister of that church just after the Declaration of Independence, had the imprudence to read the usual prayer for the King of England, he was expelled from his incumbency. Now, the English national hymn can no longer offend any American susceptibility; and when the Prince of Wales appeared at a theatre, the whole house rose and sang "God Save the Queen" with the actors, as in English theatres when the Queen is present. * * * * On the whole, the reception of the Pri

The telegraph inventor as an artist Long before Samuel Findly Breese Morse began to dream of electro-telegraphy, he was an accomplished artist. Yes, Professor Morse was the pupil of West, and was the companion of Leslie, Irving, Allston, and others, in busy, plodding London. The City Hall, of New York, (that building which came near "departing this life" at the celebration of the "completion" of the submarine telegraph cable) contains one of the best portraits of Lafayette ever painted. This is from the easel of Professor Morse. His very title of "Professor" comes from the fact that he was the appointed Professor of Fine Arts at the foundation of the New York University.

Washington's opinion of "These People" of Massachusetts, &c. We are indebted to Capt. Arthur Lee Rogers, who commanded the Loudoun Artillery in the battle of Manassas, for the following unpublished letter from General Washington to Richard Henry Lee. This letter has been preserved in the Lee. family, who, though applied to by Banoroft, Irving and others for a copy for publication, have hitherto refused it, on the ground that it would be improper to give to the world a private letter from the Father of his Country reflecting upon any portion of it while the old Union endured. But now that "these people" have trampled the Constitution under foot, destroyed the Government of our fathers, and invaded and desolated Washington's own county in Virginia, there can be no impropriety in showing his private opinion of the Massachusetts Yankees. What would Mr. Everett say of this severe but just judgment on his own people of the man he has been eulogizing with his best rhetoric f

nd the Collector of this port seized, this forenoon thirty five kegs of gunpowder, in boxes which had been smuggled on board the English ship Naples, as dry goods.

Freeman, recently from Georgia, who was on his way to New Hampshire, on a matter of business. He had been observed making inquiries about a machine for the cutting of shoe-pegs.

about Poolesville and guarding the river fords. I started directly for Poolesville, but instead of marching upon that point, avoided it by a march through the woods, leading it two or three miles to my left, and getting into the road from Poolesville to the mouth of the Monocracy. Guarding well my flanks and rear, I pushed boldly forward, meeting the head of the enemy's column going toward Poolesville. I ordered the charge, which was responded to in handsome style by the advance squadron (Irving's) of Lee's Brigade, which drove back the enemy's cavalry upon the column of infantry advancing to occupy the crest from which the cavalry were driven. Quick as thought Lee's Sharpshooter's sprang to the ground, and, engaging the gantry skirmishers, held them in, check till the artillery in advance came up, which, under the gallant Pelham, drove back the enemy's force to his batteries beyond the Monocracy, between which and our solitary gun quite a spirited fire continued for some time.
