And why? Simply" because we don't agree exactly upon the relative merits of Rogor A. Prior, of Va., and T. A. II. Nelson, of Tennessee. And also, because we think and we propose to prove that John A. Gilmer, representative from the fifth district of North Car oliua is rather JMty. - a the Herald makes a great ado about . Nelson youth as if to draw a comparison between him and Roger -V. Pryor. ; Now though we are not the pe culiar admirers of Mr Prior, j et we can testify to the fact fromreading the speeches of the two. that Pryor is largely bis superior. And as for age, Pri or is if anything the youngest man, being only thirty-live years of age, and never was in Congress be fore. So much for that portion of the Herald's ar ticle. It seems that the Jfeisll admires the position as sumed by Mr Nelson, and is scarcely a whit behind the I Hack Republican sidejof the House in cheering his effort. Now what Joes the Herald admire? imply this, Mr Nelson said that if Seward who Hold Col.

A proposition to repeal the senseless and inoper ative dueling law is now before the legislature, Mr Bruce made the following practical and appropriate observations on it in the session of Saturday last : Mr. President : I shall cordially sustain the bill before the Senate, but notje reasons which im pel the Senator from the citvTf Richmond to the same courseNa man condeuTiis more than I do the practice of duellinga practice which every civilized nation in the world has placed under the ban. In England, which leads the van in civiliza tion, very few, if any duels, have been fought since the celebrated one between Pitt-and.Tierney. Siir, Virginia has sought, by prohibiting the parties to duels from holding office under the SW"pivfnt her own citizens from! resortine- to this mode of 're dress. But what has been the nrarticaUl e3ct of LETTER EROM EX-PRESIDENT PIERCE. You are right in assuming that this is no time for hesitancy ; no time for doubting, halting, halt-way professions, or, indeed, for saere professions of any kind. It is a -time for resolute purpose, to be fol lowed by decisive, consistent action. .$ Let us art calmly and dcttbrt4y without pas sion and without acrimony. Let ua take no hasty or narrow view of the causes which have produced the dangers we would meet, and if possible avert. It is not the recent invasion of Virginia which should awaken our strongest apprehension, but the teach ings, still vehemently" persisted jn, from which ft sprung, with the inevitable necessity which revolve tb effect from the Cause. So, again, it is to be remembered that those who boldly -approve and applaud the acts of treason and murder perpertuated within the limits of Virginia" the anti-uueiing act ?

I V,. bav. a snsi.i.Mnn that . h remained at the 1 ele-; tune in one, there are perhaps no six diocesses in the sending of a single challenge, it has not inter- iereu wnn a single com oat. Amnesties have Men gi anted session after session, and if any man has suffered so long from the disability attached to the violation of the anti-dueling law as to cause the State to feel seriously the want of his services, I know not who he is. When,- sir, there is a law up on our statute boak which is practically a dead let ter, which has been violated with impnuity time and again, which experience proves will be repealed for the benefit of every violator of it, what would seem to be" the duty of the Legislature in reference to such a law ? In my opinion, the wisest course to be pursued is to blot it out forever from the statute book and to guard the State from the absurdity of a frequent repeal and re-actment of the same law. Without forgetting that such men as Randolph and Clay have resorted to the duel for the repara tion of wounded honor, without forgetting the gal lant gentlemen of our o A'n State who have sought the same mode of redress, 1 will j-et give my cordial sup port to the most strinarent laws that can be enacted for the suppression of duelling, lhrould transfer the execution of those Jarsw4olly igrCourts of tSe 5ate, where a flejT mrt: Mmtf, tHb' t o the appeals of friendship- I wouhl rnldvc the sending a challenge something more than a misdemeanor wieh it now is under our laws ; and a -just discrim ination should be niado between the different de grees of offerees connected with the practice of duelling. No law can be just which, like their anti- duelling act, conlounds the second with the princi pal and makes no discrimination whatever. It may be, as was intimated by the Senator from the city of Richmond, that we are drifting rapidly towards the breaks of disunion and civil war, and that, as my friend says, we shall regain the services of our fighting men, but I recognize in this deplora ble state of things additional reason why we should prevent private war among our own citizens. While I trust that a quick resentment of injury and a high sense of honor will continue to characterize the peo ple of Virginia, it would surely be a reproach to our civilization, that by a removal of all the restaints of law, we should give loose reign to the indulgence of passion. There arc obvious reasons why the Legislature should not have power of release from the operation ot any anti-duelling law wnatcver. ppels and contradic- ! , .-i .i , . i. !!,- Vn- ' tVt-I muri..-ir I 'I.-, ...

The doctrine is as unsound and untrue as as it is fearful. It is contradicted by the unbroken experience of the last fifty years of our history.

If to this be added, the suins spent by, and con tributions levied upon the various can lidates tor Aldermen, Councilmen, Corporation C.iunc 1 Alms bouse Governor and School officers, the aggregate probably will not fall short of a quarter of a million of dollars. Of course, the calculation is, on the part of thu patriots who thus bleed, that if successful, they will be able to re-imburse themselves from the city treasury, in some way or other so that, in the long ran. it is "Wc the People," who have to foot the bill, after all. m Ilic-hic-up.

The North Carolina Road itself is not j-et supplied with the necessary im provements on the line, but lias paid into the Treasury upwards of 1 00,000. Every railroad that has been completed, from the Atlantic Ocean to steamboat navigation in the Val ley of the Mississippi, has been, under prudent management, a paying road. Georgia, for example, built a road at the expense of the Suite, part of it in Tennessee, connecting her railroads with steamboat navigation at Chattanooga. She taxed the com merce of South Carolina and Tennessee to pay for it ; she is now in the receipt of $400,000 nett in come from the earning of the road, and will eventu ally pay the entire cost from this source.

M. and Mme. Montara intend to take up tlieir residence in Piedmont. M. Mortara when at Home was not al lowed to see his child, except in presence of priests, but was told that the little fellow should be given up to him if he himself would consent to be con verted. He wanted the Roman government to con sented to allow the child to be removed from Rome to a convent in Turin ; but seeing that this was not likely to be granted he came to Paris in order to bring his case before the Congress. JUPITER. A Demonstration. On Friduy lat, the day on which John lirown whs executed, 11 few minutes after twelve o'clock, our citizens were taken by surprise at hearing the Baptist, Methodist ami South Church bells, also the factory bell of W. fc II. Douglas, tolling simultaneously, and 011 inquiry learned that it was over the hanging of John Hrown, who expiated his crimes in Virginia on the gallows, between the hours of 10 and lii, 011 that day. So great was the disgu.-t among many of our leading Democrats because ot this disgraceful act, that they immediately run up the National Flag on the hickory pole in front of this office, where it remain ed during the afternoon not ns some of the Re publicans would make outsiders believe, to rejoice over the hanging of John Hrown, but as an offset to their tolling the bells, aud to show that Middle town does not approve of crime, but upholds law and order. At night fome of the younger portion of the party showed their disapprobation of the bell-tolling, by firing a National Salute of thirty four guns in honor of the vindication of Virginia law. The gun used on this occasion belongs to L. D. Vansands, Esq.. of Long Hill, and to obtain it. the young vindicators of law and order drove to Durham in the evening, a distance of six or seven miles, where the gun was then stored The firing commenced at about 10 o'clock, aifd lasted until 2 on, Saturday mornining. The reason of their being obliged to use the gun above mentioned, in stead of tiie one usually taken on such occasions, iu charge of the Atillery Company of this city, was, that one of that Company (a Black Republican) re fused the loan of the latter, and mounted guard over it, threatening that if any one attempted to take it they would be served as John lirown served the Virginians ; and as a superior officer, who is a Democrat, was expected here at 9 o'clock, the gun was spiked so that it could not be used at all. Four men were engaged all day Saturday in drilling out the hole ; five driUs were broken in the attempt, and on Saturday night the gun still remained spik ed. From what we hear we should judge that tho gun is pretty much used up. if not entirely. Who is responsible for this act we do not know, but whoever it is he should be made to suffer for it. The Democrats did not propose to take the gun by force, nor without leave ; but the fact that it was refused and guarded at the instance, as we learn, of prominent Republicans in this city, shows how ardent is the sympathy of that party for John Brown and his crimes. Sentinel and Witness Middletown Ct. Tin's magnificent planet is now rapidly approach ing that position in relation to the earth and sun in which it presents its finest aspect to us. Bein- one of the superior planets, which revolve in orbits ex terior to the earth, it is of course nearer the earth in opposition than in conjunction by the distance across the earth's orbit, viz : two hundred millions of miles. Besides this it shines all niht, rising about sunset, and blotted out by the dawn wdiile yet several degrees from its setting. The present position of the planet is the constellation Gemini, or the Twins, not far from the meridian of Sirius ; the brightest of the fixed stars, and closely preced ed by the finest constellation in all the heavens Ori on ; so that we have, and shall have throughout the winter, in juxtaposition, the nightly company of this splendcd galaxy Jupiter, in his brightest, Si rius or the Greator Dog, Capella, Castor and Pol lux, Procyon, or the Little Dog, Aldebaran, and the unrivalled constellation of Orion, with the planet Saturn not far.

WHY SHE DID IT. The reason why that young lady printer at Cleaveland attempted to shoot the young ma com positor, was because the latter had remarked that "somebody woald have to get another font of 'small caps' for her before long." Ah ! That's the reason, then, why she used the "shooting stick."
