The Veiisus a* a Little lolls of manu script are now being silently made up in one of our Federal bureaus that are charged with more force for the cause of human advancement than all the cartridges that ever thundered. These little rolls will in due time come forth. But they will make no stir. The falling of the snow-flake will not be more noiseless. They will be as silent as the light. Nay, the light itself they are, for they are revealing. They will show to the world what this Republic actually is. Rhetoric will do nothing to adorn them; logic will spend upon them none of its skill; no art or device of man will be invoked to make them more effective. They will be made up of a simple aggregation of facts and figures, just such homely statements us find their place in the farmer’s memorandum-book and the mer chant’s ledger. And yet, in the cause of human progress, every column of these figures will have the power of a thousand columns of infantry, and every line of these statements will be worth a line of battle. These are forces which are over whelming—irresistible. They drive all men, willing or not, into an acknowledgment of our power, and into the recognition that national free dom is the greatest of national blessings. They are an anny before which every weapon is power less—an army of stubborn facts which mendacity dares not assail, and sophistry cannot turn to the right or left. It has been said by the historian Hallam that there have been battles of which a contrary event would have essentially varied the drama of the world in all subsequent scenes. This may be true, but there are noiseless events of peace of which it may be, with far greater certainty, affirmed. Even the greatest of battles may be transient in their effects. No nation in the world ever sustained such a defeat in a single fight as Rome at Cannae, close by her very gates; and yet within tifty-thrue years afterwards the Roman standard was planted in every country of the known world. Stereotype rhodomontade about Waterloo to the contrary notwithstanding, it is to be seriously doubted whether the political state of Europe would not have been essf-ntiatly the same as now had that battle terminated differently. Napoleon might have crushed every Briton on that wide plain, aud yet England would have remained England still. Moral causes are as much stronger than physical, as truth is more potent than brute force. Our census report, though ostensibly but a mere business document, is an agency of this character. It is a new vindication and enforcement of the principle of our political instituiions—a practical summing up of the advantages of popular freedom in a way that may be known and read ot all mt-n. ^ew York “ W’urld." $»tarkie on Eridcnce, Yol. 1 Xew Edition, with Note* and References, by Shnr«wood. July 10. E. J. HALE & SOK. A drove o/ Porpoise*.—A fortnight since, there was a very rem.irkable scene in a creek close by the sea at Duxbury, between Plymouth and .Marshfield. A small sail boat in coining up the creek from the ocean came upon a drove of por poises, sometimes called sea-hogs. Other boats joined the first, and they drove the sea-monsters up the creek into water so shallow, that they could not easily make their escape. Some of the party in the boats here took their guns, and be gan to shoot the porpoises. Others with guns from the shore immediately joined them, and soon there was a general slaughter with guns aad knives. The battle raged for some time, when the entire drove of 75 porpoises, old and young, were killed, and though there was much excitement not a man was injured. The largest porpoise weighed 800 pounds. Their value is considera ble, for their fat and oil. The whole region was much excited by the scene described, as the oldest inhabitant, venerable though he is, has never known anything to occur there before after this fashion. The porpoises are said to have been drawn to the waters of Duxbury by the abundance of blue fish that have lately been found there. The por poises eat the blue fish; and the blue fish consume the cod. And now that both the former kinds of fish have disappeared, the codfish, that were before scarce, begin to be abundant. I recently went out a fishing upon the ground East of Mr. Webster’s, at Marshfield, where the great statesman loved to go early in the morning. You know, that while fishing there in 1825, he was preparing his great oration delivered at the laying the corner stone of Bunker Hill Monument, in which there was a passage for the Revolution ary heroes, beginning—“V’^enerable men! you have come down to us from a former geneiation.^' Just as Mr. Webster, and his companions, were hauling in the great codfish, he would say, “Venerable men; venerable men,” &c. To those in the boat who were not aware of the coming oration, Mr, Webster’s language seemed a strange personification!—Journal of Commerce. Life in New Orleans.—They have a queer way of doing things in New Orleans. A grocer, through the aid of a neighboring variety dealer, detected a clerk pilfering articles from the grocery store. The grocer told the clerk to leave quietly, as he did not wish to expose him. The clerk sued for back wages, and the grocer offered half the sum claimed, which was refused, and the grocer proved the thefts, and the clerk had to pay the the costs. Clerk challenged grocer to a duel with broadswords, but grocer declined to fight with a thief. The nephew of Clerk, who bore the chal lenge, then challenged grocer, who accepted his offer. Meanwhile said nephew met and savagely caned the variety man, who had testified to his uncle’s dishonesty. The duel was to have come off on the 19th, and about one hundred persons had a.ssembled at the place appointed to see the fight—but it seems the duelists did not “come to time,” having either been stopped by the police or gone to another field. Stump Omuliilntes Ji>r thf Prf>>.iih itcy.— Mr. Breckinridge is to mount the stump. We are to have a new order of thmgs in our Presidential elections. Candidates are expected to urge their own claims and qualifications on public atteation. We do not know as any harm can come of it. They may use themselves up pretty thoroitghly, but that 1:3 of no consequence. We don’t believe that Mr. B. will improve his position in the lea.st by stump speeches. There is one consolation, however,—he cannot make it any worse than it is.
