Lewis D. Campbell, of mm v w - a) Ohio, a man of Tery decided ability, although both a Know Nothing and a Republican, has, throughout, exhibited a desire to compromise measures, to coins to an arrangement, to so word the bill as to render it possible for the Senate to acquiesce in some sort of proviso. Indeed, we. think Campbell would rather, if the thing could hare been brought about, have had the bill to pass at tha regular session than have the piesent state of things, in which his own shrewdness telshim the Republicsns hare plasJ too strong a game have over-done the thing stretched it to the point of reaction and recoil. Campbell, as Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means in the House, was to hate brought for ward yesterday a new Army Appropriation bill, with a proviso nearly tha same with that introduced by him cn Thursday or Friday last, said lo embody the main features of the Senate pacification bill.

Mr. Buchanan has been for some time represented by it as the Southern sectional candidate. Yesterday, however, he was a terribleJNorthern abolition fellow, lupported by Garrison, Theodore Parker, etc. The Garrison and I'atker pari was a quoiauon irum mo Baltimore American. All we can say about the statement of the American is, that it has about as much aroroximation to the sober truth, as that verse f th. nursery rhyme which gravely asserts that the : a Mr ihm moan.

Let us pause and see. The Abolitionists in Kansas having been re-in-forced by all the scoundrels of the neighboring anti elavery States, are committing every species of out- rage, attacking posts, towns, post-offices, and public -- institutions, in defiance of law, humanity, and com mon cVcency. These outrages will, of course, pro dace retaliation on the part of the bold riflemen of the South and Sooth-west, and then the " Freedom Shriekers" will have just what they want, which is something npon which to keep op an excitement. - - fp- The Legislature of Texaa, of which State J ndge - - Terry was formerly a citiien, has passed a joint res- Olutioti endorsing hie high character, and requesting the Federal iutbontiea to interlere, in ail legal wayi, f i ct'ain him a release ot ft fair triaL A Fiuli Vru..

The Elizabethan stieets were filled by itinerant aaUsmtn, many of whose trades have long since passed away ; rlurlcoal sellers from the country, buyers of old luce, sellers of lint peas, and Irish applomongere. The opon sia'ls were piled with rapiers and targots, and Italian armor and polg nurds, and silk points and ruffs, and feathers, roses for shoes, scarfs, and a thousand other articles of finery now mouldering in quiet country vaults, snd treasured here and there with wrong dates attached to them in the wardrobea of old show mansions. The paths were filled by jostling srrvingmen, French pages, and watermen, and wounded soldiers from the Dutch wars, Spanish gallants, Greek merchants, and here snd there an astrologer or an alchemist come out for a moment to breathe a purer air than the poisonous ntmosptiere of his cellar or bis turret, that reokeil with fuming morcury. There were ac tors and bearwards, masters of fence, bullies, and gentlemen pensioners, and gay citnen's wives and ma roltan, and falconers all bright, colored, shift ing, motley, and picturesque. There wss no dull monotony snd stereotype of dress, face, and manner, out a never ending variety, souring ana oriiiiant as the dyes of a kaleidoscope. There were beards of all classes and professions the spruce, the pointed, the round, gray, black, and cream colored. All dress marked class ; the prentice passes with his round cap and truncheon ; the citizen with his trimmed gown and gold chain ; the noble with his silk cloak and scented doublet, gold spurs, and spangled feather ; the needy adventurer with Ins rusty sword and greasy bun, or ball Indian robe ; the scrivener with his rusty black coat and unfailing bag ; the divine with his cassock and his bands ; the yeoman with his unbarked staff; and the court lady rolling by in tier ponderous gilded coacn. The Spirit Rappers. The editor of the Phila delphia Mercury recently attended a Spirit (not liquid, but ethereal) Circle, lie tnus ucscrioes tne closing soone : Alter a recess of ten or htteen minutes, the medi um again went into the state,' and wrote out The First man is present He addresses you from the Celestial Sphere.'

Here Mr. Cbadband's leelings became entirety too atrong for him, and be remained ailent, bis eyes fixed nn lha ceilinr and bis hands folded meekly and de voutly before him. This gave Dickens time to collect his thoughts and renew his previous inquiry. Hs learned officially from the viaitor that there was an actual live Chadband. who, for and in consideration of tha use of his name as aforesaid in Bleak House, requested a certain number of those bits of paper and Dieces of metal, which, as Mr Skimpole remarked, the woild called money.

Mr. Chadband informs the author that he will aoon bear of a case in the co.irti of law and equity, more wonderful than Jaryndyce and Jaryn dyce, to wit: Chadband vs. Dickens. The author trunks it best to close the unexpected sod exceedingly embarrassing oase at once, by pay ing the amount demanded, which he does by a check on his banker. Chadband receivea it with a manner expressive of forbearance, forgivenese and benevo lence, and signs the release of hie right to damages with tesrs in his eyes. As be retires he bestows his blessing on the bouse and household, and walks meekly snd quickly into the streets. Dickens falls back in Ins chair, exhausted absolutely by astonish ment. Now, no story is complete without a moral or a point, which is the same thing. The whole thing was a sham. The author was regularly taken in. I he affair was an artful dodge done up bv a Yankee from away down East, near tha State of Maine, who croa-ed the Atlantic expressly to do it. On Who Died Without Living. M. Paul Legraod died at Dijon, Burgundy, recent ly, at the age of 70, leaving the following memoir, whereby he proves he h is not lived : All that is suffering, sorrow, ennui, despair, desire, regret, should be deducted from life, becauxe we should ourselves have deduoled it, had heaven per mitted When three years old, I wss weaned; at six I could peak but badly; at seven I split my skull; at nine I wss cured I must, therefore, extraot nine yeara from my existence; for surely to drink a nurse's sour milk, not to speak, or badly, and to split one's skull, is not living. At the age of nine l began my studies Owing to my cracked skull, my head was a hard one, and I proved stubborn to tuition I requir ed two years' labor lo spell ths alphabet. I was in debted to letter Z alone for about four score hundred lashes; the other twenty-three letters made a complete martyr of ms. At the age of twelve I could read, but my body was mangled with alphabet scars. An attempt was made to teach me Latin, and I lost my French in the experiment. Atfifeen I knew nothing st all, and a forced det of bread and water had re- , .... i . i. i , &' uiiueu me 10 ine condition oi a eaeiewju. oia jean more had therefore to be deducted. At sixteen my father made me a notary's clerk. There commenced a new species of maityrdom. I got up at eix, awept the office, lighted the stove, was drubbed by the taller clerks, and my father, overwhelmed with complaints about me, deprived me of my dinner. This life 1 led for five years, and from my life I will positively deduct them. At twenty my father, quite disgusted with bis son, put me on board a ship at Cherbourg. I washed the decks, climbed up the top mast, mended the sails, and received, thirty lashes a day upon my back. This was endured for four years. At twenty-four my fa ther made me a haberdasher. I married Ma'm'selle Ursule Devousins, a turner's daughter ; her portion consisted of thirty thousand livres, mortgaged upon a sugar estate at St. Domingo. The day after the wedding I found that my wife had a wooden leg, made by my father-in-law, the turner. Tbe poor woman made a thousand apologies for her infirmity, and I pardoned her out of regard to her marriage por tion The St. Domingo blacks rose against the whites, burned tbe marriage portion, and the wooden leg was all that was left to me. At thirty I lost my wife in consequence of scrofu lous disease. I spent six years of marriage, repenting every minute. 1 therefore deduot these six years from my lite Having, as everybody else, slept a third part of my life, I deduot twenty-four years of sleep, and I am below the right reokoning, lor I was a great sleeper. A year lost, adding minute to minute in searching for the keys of my desk, which I was constantly mislaying Does one live when one looks for a key 1 Three years lost in having myself shaved, powdered, &c.; five years in suffering with toothache, two inflammations ol the chest, with relapses snd convalescence. Three years lost in saying, "What's o'clock ?" " we have bad weather to-day ;" " how do you do f" " how ia your lady 7" " I bave a bad cold ;" " Marlborough e'en va-t-en guerre what mod in the street what a winter this year?" Six months lost in having tbe mud brushed off one, and six in brush ing one's hat. One year of endurance of the entire aots of the theatre. One year lost in listening to the modern dramas, the chef d' autre of genius not under stood. One year 1 st in complaining of salt snd tasteless soups, of cutlets too much or too undone, of indigestion or hard eggs. Total, 71 years. I beg leave to declare that in giving up the ghost I do not give up anything wortb keeping. Mi. Fillmore's Chanett. It is exceedingly amusing to one in tbe least con ersant with the true state of parties to read some of the know-nothing organs printed away down utb. She sangfroid with which they calculate Mr. buch anan out of tbe raoe, and Mr. Fillmore into the white House, approaches almost to the sublime of the tbe ridiculous.

Mr. M Scotch minister of some note, waa one day walking throurh the streets of Edinburgh, dressed in his rough ennntrv clothes, when a young lady, the leader of the troop of fashionable be'Ies, surveyed him through hr nnizzine rlass rather more curiously than he thought consistent with female delicacy. Seeming tuddenlv to recognize her, he walked up to her brisk ly, snd seising her by the hand, with the familiarity of an old acquaintance, accosted ner wun . i f Ju, Marl- how itn mil do 1 how left VOU your worthy father and venerable mother, and when did you come to town ; All thia waa expressed with the rapidity and en erev of an old and familiar, and with an air of equal ity a litile savoring of superiority. The astonished fair one had not time to withdraw her hand, and said with some alarm. " You are mistaken, sir !" " What!" he replied, " is it possible, my dear that you do not know me . " Indeed. I do not sir." " Neither do I vou," said tbe parson. " Good morning, madame." And making a ceremonious bow, he walked away. She was perfectly cured of quizzing strangers in ths street. Salem Register. lQt.Gen. O'Donnell, the Prime Minister of Spain is. as his name indicates, of Irish descent. His fami lv rroeenitors came to Spain about the middle of th last centurr. Hia father attained the rank of Count d'Abispol fopold was his second son, and the Count obtained for him a place in the army as Sous Lieutenant. In the war of the succession, in 1833, he was ranidlv promoted, an I finally attained the rank of General of Division. His family all took sides with Dnn L'arloa. he alone chnoaing tbe cause of tb young Queen Isabella. Two of his brothers lost thei lives in that war. O'Donnell rendered tbe Regen Qjeen Christina invaluable service by bis military skill, and always stood high in her good graces, but was foroed to leave the country in 1840, when the reaction came. He came back to Spain and was made Captain General of Cuba. On his return from Cuba he was chosen member of the Senate and u.ade Gene ral-In-Chief of the Cavalry. Murillo's Cabinet put him out of favor and he joined the opposition. Now he is again in power, and neither friends nor foes seem to know whst to expect from him. The Tobacco Trade.

The Russian government is about to despatch a scientific exped tion to circumnavigate the globe, the direction which bas been confided to one of the most distin guished officers of the Russian navy. This will be the thirty-ninth voysge round the world the Russians have made since 1803. The first took place under the command of Capt. Krusenstern, in the corvette Nadejda. between 1803 to 1806. lhe most colebra ted voyages, after that of Krusenstern, were those of Golvine in the Diane, from 1807 to 180V; Lazaren in the Souvarow, from 1813 to 1816: Kotzebue, in th Rurik, from 1815 to 1818 : Vassilieff. in the Decou verte, 1819 to 1822 ; Wrangel, in the Helene, from 1825 to 1827 ; Lutke. in the Senidvine, from 1826 to 1829; and Schanti, in the Amerique, from 1834 to 1836. The last was that performed by Neveekoi, in the Baikhall, from 1843 to 1851. All the officers who oommanded these vessels have become admira in the imperial navy. Tbe present squadron, which will he composed of two corvettes, is to leave Cron stadt in September next. The Great Comet or 1856. This long expected comet was seen in the South of Ireland, on the 30th ult. The Dublin Observer says : " It had then the appearance of a globe of fire as large as a good-sized orange, with a broad tail of light, extending about 18 inches from the body. The two gentlemen watched it tor an hour, and th watchman on tbe weir observed it also. On Tburs day night they all saw it again, it rose a lew mo men's Ister, presenting tbe same appeatances, and was high in the heavens at balf-past 11 o'clock, when thoy went borne. At that hour one of the gentlemen pointed it out to his sister. Last night, from the same place, the same persons again saw it rise about twenty minutes before 11 o'clock, and then it first occurred to one of them (our informant) that it might be a comet. He ceased to watch it about midnight but the watchman observed it up to half-past 1 o'clock this morning, it did not seem so large as on tbe pre vious nights, but still far exceeded tbe most brilliant form in which the planet Jupiter has ever been be held." - WILMINGTON SAVINGS BANi.
