ing so imperfectly, from want of teeth, that he could not be readily understood. He received us very kindly, and the proper officer having made his appearance, we were asked how many rooms we needed, and were immediately shown to a suite of five excellent ones, large enough to make a dozen such as are used and built nowadays. After we had refreshed ourselves, we were invited to see the establishment. It dates from 770, but the buildings have been erected at different times, chiefly between 1300 and 1690, and are spread very irregularly over a wide space of ground. The number of monks is eighty-four, forty of whom reside in the house, and the rest are priests in parishes. The monastery has, besides, a gymnasium, where above two hundred and fifty young men are in a constant course of education, gratis, fifty of whom are entirely supported by the Emperor, and a part of the rest by the funds of the institution. We went first to the church. It was originally of Gothic architecture, a

memorial, the ruins of Carlaverock Castle, the scene of their family's ancient splendor, and not only so, but the scene of Allan Cunningham's Sir Marmaduke Maxwell, and the Ellangowan Castle, of Scott's Guy Mannering. We gladly consented, and, driving through Dumfries, went down through a fine country, to the point where the Nith joins the Solway. There we found these grand ruins, standing in the solitude of their neglected old age. The first castle, which was destroyed by fire in the year 1300, has left few or no proper remains; the present widespread ruins belong to the castle that was built immediately afterwards, and which was maintained till it was taken by Cromwell, who could not prevail on the Earl of Nithsdale to surrender, though reduced to great extremity, until he had the written orders of the King to that effect. . . . . The ruins are finely situated, extensive, and picturesque, and were shown to us by an old warder,—maintained there by the Maxwells,—now eighty-three yea

March 17th by a vote of 66 to 21. These amendments were rejected by the Senate, and an amendment made by which the act was limited to expire at the end of one year. The House refused, at first, to recede from its amendments, but upon the report of the conference committee of the two houses, it was decided to yield, and the bill was passed March 23d and became a law by the President's approval, which was attached March 26, 1804. (Annals of Congress, 1803-1804, pp. 211, 223, 256, 1229, 1293, 1300.) The opposition was caused by a sentiment that the act gave almost autocratic powers to the President. The test vote in the House, 51 to 45, shows that this opinion was shared by many Republicans. This power, however, was necessary to organize a territory foreign to American institutions, and to prepare the way for a permanent government, and it expired by its own limitation in one year. Under the act, approved October 31, 1803, the President had already taken possession of the new a

such praise as Ruskin's, the question of anachronism more or less is of course quite secondary. Errors of a few centuries doubtless occur in it. Longfellow himself states the period at which he aims as 1230. But the spire of Strassburg Cathedral of which he speaks was not built until the fifteenth century, though the church was begun in the twelfth, when Walter the Minnesinger flourished. The Lily of Medicine, which Prince Henry is reading when Lucifer drops in, was not written until after 1300, nor was St. John Nepomuck canonized until after that date. The Algerine piracies did not begin until the sixteenth century. There were other such errors; yet these do not impair the merit of the book. Some curious modifications also appear in later editions. In the passage where the monk Felix is described in the first edition as pondering over a volume of St. Augustine, this saint disappears in later editions, while the Scriptures are substituted and the passage reads:— Wherein ama

cy. All the Congressmen with whom I conversed seemed anxious to know what action Virginia would take. The result of the recent meeting in Petersburg was spoken of as something they had not at all expected, and they inferred that in Virginia, as in South Carolina, it might turn out that the people were ahead of the politicians. The news from Maryland is significant. A South Carolina delegate tells me that he saw a letter addressed to Gov. Gist by the Colonel of a regiment of horse, 1300 strong, and belonging to the city of Baltimore and its vicinity, pledging the entire force in aid of South Carolina in case the Federal Government attempts coercion after the State has seceded. The matter had been submitted to the vote of the regiment and decided unanimously in favor of South Carolina. The regiment consists of volunteers, and has been raised within a few days for the express purpose of helping South Carolina. This letter certainly came to Gov. Gist, nor is there any doubt

an country — another fight with Opothleyholo — the killed and wounded on both Sides. From the Fortsmith News, of the 11th inst. we take the following interesting intelligence: We learn from Maj. Clark, of Texas, direct from the camp of Col. Cooper, and the battle took place on the 9th on Bushy Creek, near the Verdigris River, about 180 miles from this place, between the forces under Col. Cooper, and the enemy's under Opothleyholo, estimated at 4000 or 8000, Col. Cooper had only about 1300 men. The enemy attacked Col. Cooper about 11 o'clock, and the fight continued all day until sun down. Col. Simms' Texas Regiment, that were in the fight, fought with great bravery, and the Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Creeks, fought like tigers; in fact the battle was one of the hardest fought battles that has taken place in the country. The enemy followed Col. Cooper several miles and attacked him with great fury. -- Col. C. drove them back to the woods, a distance of two miles. A large n
