Pierce Mr Bacbaiiau.IntercBtlng Interviews. On Saturday, at t o'clock, tbe citizens of Missouri now on a visit to Washington, called upon General Pierce at ihe residence of Governor Marcy. Besides the two senators an 1 representatives now in the city, the party was composed of about twenty citizens. Tbey were presented by the Hon. James L Grreen to the ex -President, who was addressed by Thos. C. Reynolds, United States District Attorney of Missou ri, in substance, as follows : "Mr. President: Tbe Missourians, now in this city, have come, without distinction of parly, religion, or orig'u., to pay ihe'r respects, and take leave of you. They have done me the high and most agree able honor of making: me their organ on this occa- 8101). " We congratulate ynu that, although at the com mencement of yur Presidency our country even then enjoyed a prosperity unexampled in the history of nations, yet, under your wise and firm administra tion, it has reached a still higher condition of wealth and happiness. We congratulate you that, while a wr of "iants was shaking the eastern continents to their very cen ties, the policy and foresight of yourself and your counsellors enabled von In nreserve for America the blessings of profound peace without lowering our national dignity or jeopardzing any of our interests. " lhe public voice accords to you the great merit of having conducted the general affairs of our country with success and ability, and it must be r. most grat ifying reflection to you that you have consistently followed throughout your administration the great leading principles which lie at tbe foundation of our government. " Particularly, as Missourians, do we feel it lo be a happy coincidence that, on the very day when the journals of the land are spreading before their read ers the decision of the supreme Court of the United Slates, (to which all zocd citizens, without reference to their previous opinions, will cheerfully submit,) so'emnly endorsing the great leading principle of your administration, we have the happiness of con gratulating, on so imposing a triumph, the Piesident who, amid difficulties and dangers, firmly stood by his honest convictions of constitutional duty, which are now decided by that august tribunal lo be right. " Seldom does Providence vouchsafe to any man the signal boon of making his rule an era in the an nals of his country. To you it has granted this spe cial crace ; for when the future historian, in calmer days, shall write the history of our Union, he will date from your administration the period when the sublime principle of popular sovereignty under the guidance of our time-honored constitution, was de clared supreme throughout the broad expanse of our land. " To you, sir, and io her, that admirable lady whose many virtues are acknowledged by all who have the privilege to know her, and to whom your high station has been but a burden, that only affection and a sense t duty enabled her to bear, we most cordially wish health, happiness, prosperity, and length of days." I his address was delivered by Mr. Reynolds, with a warmtn and earnestness ot tone wnicn snowed that it proceeded from the heart. Gen. Pierce was evidently much affected by it, and several of the ladies who were present were moved to tears !y the beau tiful and touching allusion to Mrs. Pierce. He replied in an admirable and eloduent speech of considerable length, whose dignity and elevation of tone made a profound impression upon those assem bled. We regret that it is not in our power to give his language on this occasion, but we dare not trust either our notes or our memories to cio it justice. After expressing his profound sense of the high compliment thus paid him, the ex-President proceed ed to dec'are that it was impossible for any one then present io realize the difference between his feelings now and at the tin;e when he had assumed the reins of government. At that time inexperienced, and with a distrust of bis abilities, he had assembled around him that band if counsellors to whose large experi ence and greater knowledge of affairs f.e had been to a great degree indebted for the success of his admin istration, In reference to the great and leading measure of his administration they had stood together as broth ers, and had been as a unit in sentiment. Those persons were much mistaken who supposed that he had not foreseen the storm that was to arise from the inauguration of this great principle, and still more mistaken were those who supposed taat he had been for one moment disturbed or moved by the flood gates of abuse and detraction which hal been opened upon him. Me had but one motive a sense of duty; he had been guided but by one principle hia constitutional obligation. He had not at tempted to anticipate either the judgment of the peo pie or the decision of any tribunal; he had but follow ed the light which his own sense of duty and his own constitutional opinions had vouchsafed lo him. His known senti ients and his previous political course could have led to no other result ; and while it was a scource of infinite gratification to him to find his opin ions sanctioned by the highest tiibunal in the land, he bore into his retirement thai highest of all re wards, the consciousness of having dischaged his duty to his country. Gov. Marcy having entered during the delivery of this speech, he paid a handsome compliment to the services ot that distinguished gentleman, ;md declared that it had been a fortunate thing lor the nation that our foreign affairs had been in so able hands. Peace had been the policy of the administiation, because, in the first place, it was aware that, should peace with ioreign nations out continue lor twenty years longer, and not the combined nations of Europe would desire lo cope with ns, such was the rapid in crease of our power. But peace had been our policy from a still higher motive, viz: the cause of humani ty and the advancement of civilization. Nor in main taining this policy of peace had the honor or dignity of the nation been sacrificed. On the contrary, while to the weaker and feebler powers we had been de ferential and conciliatory, to the stronger especially where behind the power we beheld a frowning coun tenance we had been firm and exacting. Gen. Pierce concluded by paying a handsome com pliment to Missouri and her citizens, expressing the great graiification he had received from this visit, and his firm conviction that the Union and the con stitution would be preserved, and that a sounder sen timent was already beginning to prevail, even in that section where the wuves of agitation had rolled the highest and beat the angiiest. When Gen. Pierce had concluded his reply, the gentlemen present were introduced to Gov. Marcy ; and, after a highly interesting interview, retired. 1 be Missourians then repaired to the White House to pay their respects lo Mr. Buchanan, from whom they received a most cordial welcome. Again they wre prraented by Mr. Green ; and Mr. Reynolds, in behalf of the delegation, addressed the President very nearly to the following effect : " Ma. President : Tbe Missourians here present, without distinction of party, have united to pay you their respects. Our fathers abolished the "kingly office' in our land; but An honest man's the king of men," and in you we are proud to recognize such a king, and present to him not the homage of subjects, but tbe respect of free citizens, approaching you simply as citizens. The sentiments of your inaokural give us assurance that your administration will be true to ihe interests of tbe country and the prinr ,). es of our government: but as citizens of thatState ch forms ihe key-tone in that arch of common w abb rrected beyond ihe Father of Waters on the first a- 'mi frial acquisition of the United States; wj tspec.ally rejoice that you, the first President fro a the Key stone State of our Atlantic border, hawr a Ived io guide your councils with a epecial view tot i perpe tuation of our glorious Union. We have every con fidence that your policy will tend to preserve us a united people, and we know" of no higher fortune which we can wish Won in the future than that of gaining for jour administration the glory pf having J permanently restored tne iraieinai auecpon wjuwi originally bound together the States of this Union. I v e cordially wisn you, personally and officially, every blessing which Providence can grant, to com pensate you for the toil and anxiety to which your elevated station necessarily subjects you ; and we pray that, after a saccessful rule, you may be long preserved, in health and happiness, to njoy lhe gr-k-titude and respect of your fellow-citizens." The President responded to this address . in terms highly flattering to Missouri and her citizens, and good naturedly remarked that it was fortunate that his position forbade hia replying in a set speech, other wise his leutaiion for elequence might suffer in comparison with that of the gentleman who had just addressed him. With great humor he remarked that, in reference to his being an honest man, he be lieved he had hitherto been so, and hoped that the temptation of power or the pride of office would not seduce him from the path of rectitude. . For several minutes Mr. Buchanan continued to canverB with different gentlemen of the delegation, when they retired, all alike delighted with the cour tesy, affability and dignity of the Chief Magistrate of fhc republic. Washington Union. Affairs Iti Kansas. We learn from our western exchanges that Gov. Geary has returned to the territorial legislature, without his approval, the bill to provide for taking the census of lhe Territory and for calling a consti tutional convention. The principal objection is, that tbe legislature u failed to make any provision to submit the constitution, when framed, to the consid eration of the people for their ratification or rejection." uov. ueary says : " The voice of the people fairly expressed, and its imbodiment in the fundamental laws, should be the earnest desire of every citizen of a republic.

English Gaelics and Agriculture. We are indebted to Hon. C. P. Holcomb, of Dela ware, for a copy of his address, delivered before the Maryland State Agricultural Society, at its an nual exhibition at Baltimore in 1854. It reviews the progress made in agriculture, and contains excellent suggestions for future improvement. Toucbiug ibe part which ladies should take in rural pursuits, he relates an anecdote which, as it offers a striking con trast to ihe knowledge possessed by many American ladies, is worth repeating.

' i 1 I T 1 ' . as snuwiiig ine liutresi ngnsn auies lane in Agriculture, I cannot but relate a casual interview I chanced to have with an English lady, in going up in the expresi train from London to York. Her husband had bought a book at the stand as we were about starting, and remarked to her that it was one of her favorite American authors Huvthorne.' I casually observed, 'I was pleased to see young American au thors round admirers with hnglish ladies,' when the conversation turned on books and authors. But I said to myself pretty soon, 'this is a bterarv ladv probnbly her husband is an Editor or Reviewer, and sne u-ts ine scissors tor mm at all events, I must retreat from this discussion about authors, modern poets, and poetry. What should a farmer know critically of such things ? If I was only in those fields if the conversation could be made to turn up on crops, or cattle, then I should feel quite at home. I finally pointed out a field of wheat, and remarked it was very fine. The lady carefully observing it, said : lSir, I think it is too thin a common fault this season, as tbe seeding was late;' Hhose drills,' she added, turning to her hur-hand for his confirmation, ' cannot be more than ten inches apart, and you see, sir, the ground is not completely covered twelve, and eten filteen inches is now preferred for the width cf drills, and two bushels of seed to the acre will then entirely cover the ground, on good lan I. so vou hardly distinguish the drills.'

The Attorney General. Judge Jeremiah S. Black, of Pennsylvania, who has received tbe appointment of Attorney General, is one of the Justices of the Supreme Court of Penn sylvania. Mr. Black is undoubtedly the ablest man yet mentioned lor Attorney General. He was ap pointed by Gov. Porter, resident Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for the counties of Franklin, Bed ford and Somerset, which office he held 'till 1851, when he was elected Justice of the Supreme Court, and in 1853 was Chief Justice. In 1854 he was re elected to the Supreme Bench, where he now sits, his term expiring in 1869. Judge Black is but little known in the political world. He is, however, a sound, conservative, national democrat, and has the highest reputation as a jurist, which is the chief re quisite for the post which has been offered him. Judge Black is extremely popular in his own State, and when last elected 10 the bench, he ran twenty thousand votes ahead of bis ticket. Nautical Reflectors.

In illustration of this, we are rejoiced to cite the recent marriage of J. M. Taylor, the popular and very comely editor of the Baton Rouge Ad' vacate, who, with malice prepense, committed matrimony on the 13th instant, and publicly acknowledged his "better half" to be the bride whose name will be found in the prop er marriage column. Nevertheless, Taylor is a philosopher, and bears tho consequence of his act with a coolness and fortitude that does credit to th profession, and does not for get, amid the mazes and mysteries of Hymen, the importance of making a readable paragraph out of every interesting occur rence which comes under his experience.

So far as wo can appreciate our condition ai.d feeling3 thi- morning, it seems as though we are a duplicated young man ; bisected, how ever, for the moment, and the most cherished and important half left at well, no matter where ; of a certainty, it is not the Advocate's editorial sanctum, at pre sent.

Then came very emphatic responses, and a pronouncing of somebody " man and wite," after which followed much masculine congratulation, and a great abun dance of feminine kissing. The upshot was the nervous yourg gentleman, hitherto deemed incorrigible in tho lati tude of the heart, found himself the possessor of a treasure that he, of course, considers priceless.

Such delicate attentions are ever welcome and appreciated." From Dr. Livingstone's Travels in Africa. A Desperate Conflict Between a Lion and an Ante lope. Dr. Livingston gives a very interesting description of a fight he witnessed in Africa between a lion and aitelope. 'he Dr. and his guides had just emerged from a narrow defile between two rocky hills, when they heard an angry growl, which they knew to be that of the "monarch of the forest. At the distance ot not more than forty yards in ad vance of them, a gemsbok stood at bay, while a huge tawny lion was crouched on a rock platform, above the level of the plain, evidently meditating an attack on the antelope ; only a space of about twenty feet separated the two animals. The lion appeared to be animated with the greatest fury, the gemsbok' was apparently calm and resolute, presenting his well fortified head to the enemy. The lion cautiously changed his position, descended to the plain andmade a circuit, obviously for the purpose of attack ing the gemsbok in the rear, but tho latter was on the alert and still tamed his head towards his antagonist. This man oeuvering lasted for half an hour, when it appeared to tho observeis that the gems iok used a stragem to induce the lion to make his assault. The flank of tbe antelope was for a moment presented to his fierce assialant. As quick as light ning, the hon made a spring, but while he was jet in the air, the gemsbok turned his head, bending his neck so as to present one of bis spear like horns at the lion's breast. A terrible laceration was the consequence ; the lion fell back on his haunches and showed a ghastly wound in the lower part of his neck. He uttered a howl of rage and anguish, and backed off to a distance of fifty yards, seeming half disposed to give up the contest, but hunger, fury, or re venge once more impelled him forward, ilissecond assault was more furious and headlong: he rushed at the gemsbok, anil at.tmr.tArl to lean over the formidabla horns in order to alight on his back. The gemsbok, still standing on the de- f - B. . . . 1 1 - 4 U 1 1 tr in i : KJ fensive, elevated nis neaa, speareu u ..vu m m Ue, Inflicted what the spectators believed to be a mortal wound, as the horns penetrated to the depth of six or eight inches Again the lion retreated, groaning and limping in a manner which showed that he bad been severely hurt, but he soon collected all his energies for another attack. At the instant of collision, the gemiobk presented a horn so as to sfrike the lion immediate! between his two fore legs, andsoforceable was the stroke that the whole length of the horn was buried in the lion" body. For nearly a minute the two beasts stood motionless ; then the gemsbok, slowly backing, withdrew his horn, and the lion tottered and lell n hia side, his limbs quivering in theagonies of death. The victor made a triunjph nt flonrishof his heels, and trotted off apparently without having received the least injnry in the confiiot. For the first twenty-tw days after beginning to purchase the old Spanish coin, ihe Philadelphia mint took in $68,000 worth, chiefly in small sums.
