A grat 1cs--od, ot;ce taught by biEtory, is never lost sight ot, but is npeatcd through the centuries. Every mighty rnYcmeut, upheaving the surfa-ce ot the political world, ha3 iU rcpreseutaiive meD, who are so ideatified wih it, that the parity or defects cf the fjstem come, in time, to be coiitouadtd with the puri'y or corruption "of its supporters. 'Ice woria soon learns to connect men end rrniiC;p:es together, and does not require much persuati'ju to believe that it would be a3 hard for a corrupt man tc advocate good measures as it would be for a good man to fupoort bad or.es. And the reason ol this is evident, if ;, e theory itself be Dot altogether cor rect. Men are more apt, as a general thirg, to fix their memories upon the names associated with any particular era ia the history of the world than upon the priLC-iplcs which might have been vindicated by it. Every school boy has heard of Oliver Cromwell and Geo. Wasbingten. But how many men can there be found ia a dajT's search, who could speak intelligently of the ccLtliet between Cavalier and ilouodhead, or of the political caus a which kd to our Srst Revolution ? There is piclnbly co clever school-girl who has passed Ley or el the rudiments of history, who dcc3 not remem ber to have read of Queen Eiizabe;h and Charlotte Corday; but ask the generality of readers what was the policy of Elizabeth, and in what the real glory of Char lotte coLaisted, and it would doubtless appear that his tory fcr them is a mere jingle of names, and not, as Bacvn philosophically calls it, "tin evolution of princi ples." When persons of this class wiih to present to tbeir minds, in the strongest light, the atrocities of the French Revolution, tkey recal Robespierre and Marat ; and they fancy that they have compassed those etormy days ia which Europe was convul3td by the power of one map, and thrones toppled and old institutions passed away, wLca they have mentioned tho name of the great Emperor. In this momentous period of our career as a people, we are not unwilling, we confess, to see what, for want of a better name, we will call this metonymic judgment uncertain though it may be in many cases passed upon cur strngle. The men at the head of the two oGvcrcments have characters as clearly drawn aa any who have slood at the helm of States and guided the course cf great movements, i he antagonism between the 2s"erth aad South between the steadfast devotion to principle of the one and the cowardly craft and recklessness of the other are net more strongly mark ed than the dissimilarity existing between their Fresi dents. Cromwell, with hia cant of humili-.y and his real overgrown confidence in himself, and his contempt of all other authority, ' was no bad representative ef the fanatics who beat back their king's battalions at Nc.se by and Marston Moor ; reviled old institutions that had been good enough for their fathers, and thank ed God they were better thaa Charles rstuart and his men of Belial. The Chiefs of the Mountain, with their besotted hatred of religion and orde'r, and their uiUr incapacity to grasp the necessities of the move ment in wnich they were cngage-1, were fit to be the leaders cf f. mob, who had commenced a revolution without adequate cause, and wno, ia becoming patriots, cdiowiu but little clilhculty in learning to ba biood hcuudj. But c.cscly as these were types of the fac tions for whom they acted, it is doubtlul whether there ever lived rulers wno have combined in themselves so many ol the ekuient? of the peoples whom they repre sent, as Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln. There are many reasons why we of the South should be gratified that suca is the case. All of us feel that Llr; teparaiion between the two sections is eternal, be cause it is bacd upon complete antagoniam in those cl emeots which fester the union of States. Even when nasociut'd under the same government, and when the gi .m-.ur of success was thrown around the aiministra ti n of their common tllairs, and the Uuion, as an nb stract idea, speaking grandly of unlimited power and the peopling of vast principalities, had re duced many .spirits to conservatism who felt the neces sity of dissolution; the seeds of decay w-re generated In the very charae'er of the two peoples, and-the foun dations of tte Government were alua-Jy crumbling into II l . . .1 4. 1 J. .

I ru'os. me crasu cauie ui last, v. jen ine wno:e ci me 3:upendou3 deception that had b?: i foisted upou the world as Union was laid bare; and men learned, for the first tim?, to separate from thS mass that which 'had constituted the conservative element in the urnat ural connection had kept society within legitimate bounds had givea validity to the decrees cf the Con stitution had enforced justice in the administration of government had strengthened religion, and fortified public morali'y. We left the compact ; and then, with the suddenness of a change in the hdc9 Vjf a theatre, came that system id s;.cial ocd political cthic3 which has eince excited t'e o?t jnibment of every thinkicg mind, and has pre sen'ed to the world the dreary spectacle ot a people wuoiiaviijL.ee commanaeu ineir respect yielding to a debasement scarcely paralleled in the history of nations, and showing themselves recklesspf the faith of compacts', dt-af to the appeals of justice, servile without patriotism, aud arrant without courage. Th:3 apparently sud den traasiiioa baa not surprised us wno have been famitMr with the character cf our enemies fdfmany yenr3 But it has fallen strangely upoa the nations of Europe. I a the midst of a marvelous progress, with a common flag, repa'esenting a common nationality, float ing oa cvt ry sea and in every port, end with a com merce cncor.necteJ, apparently, with any suction, tes tifying to the unity ot an enterprising aad ingenious people ; it waa impossible for tteai to appeciate upon how totter ng a foandat.on rested, ia reality, the stately weight or so much eplendor and so much glory. The restrictive and unjust legislation the gradual encroachment ol Ihe Anti-Constitutionalists the strug gles for vested right3 upon the floor of the two houses of Congress, and those gloomy days immediately pre din? ttr disruption of the great Republic, when our f f ft ""p3 ,or r'1--3 wtro laugueu tit, ta iuo just cuuiia meu 3 notyctioD' wer.e regarded by Europeaa states ore eenoui thaa the license m politi cal affairs, universally allowed by tbe nature of oar In stitutions. The startling declarations ot certain politi cians with reference to the Constitution, they consider ed as the senseless raviDgs of demagogues- - not, as tbey were in - reality, the outward expression of perverse doctrines that had infected one half of the people of the United States. They are wiser now, and have found that this perversenefs of opinion is not confined to inferior men without reputation, but permoates through the whole North blasting equally the Execu tive, the Cabinet, tbe Pulpit, the Press and the People And they have discovered that what iht y c: eeivnl to be a local sore is a universal taist, and that wb .t appeared to be fhe wiMnesa of a few ill regular d minds . comprises, in reality, tne most practical evidences of wisdom which the statesmen of the North have shown themselves capable of 'attaining.. With tbe South, outside of the technical position in which seces:ioa has placed her, there c . n be said to have oetn no revolution whatever. Our Government, arci me laws under which it is administered are practi cally the same. Our social system is the Eame. Oar character 8 a people and our views of political and moral right, have undergone no change. Indeed, the most stupendous movement ever undertaken by an people-has been executed with disturbances no greater than those which have usually attended a Presidential election. Bat it is with the North, although the title of their government has remained unchanged, that this revolution bas bet n most severely felt. Evervthir-e that goes to make up national character has been violentlv altered. Just as France, durin? the davs of thp Rpvr. ution, was floodtd with an inundation of false and blas phemous doctrines, so tte North is n6w swarming with strange theories, subversive of all Bocial order corrup tive of popular purity mccking at the moat sacred truths of religion, "end which could have been produced ordy among a people who have lost sight of the first elements of reason and justice. From the Charletton Ct nrier. JLrgc Fire. At an early hour Friday morning, fLe broke out in the three story brick builditg North side of Broadl street, near Church, owned by and adjoining the lare Grocery store ot Messrs. Klinck, "Wickenberg & Co. The premises, with the exception of the second story, was formerly occupied by Mr. A. J. Burke, a3 a printing establishment. The second story was used by J. B Campbell and J. Nathans, Esq'rs., as Law oIScts. The fire commnicated to tha adjoining building on the East, the lower story formerly kept by B. Ford as a boot and shoe store, and the upper stories ai Lw cili ces by Messrs. Brown k Porter, and others. The premises were ownedby Bv. Jos. S. Ioglesby. Thest two buildings were entirely consumed. Daring the progrees of tbis fire mother was discovered at the Southwest corner of Church-street and St. Mich ael's alley, which destroyed a range of four very old buildings, besides the Charleston Cortoa Press, the kitchen and out buildings attached to the old bathing establisment on Church street ; also the building occu pied by tbe German Turner's Association a'3 a II all, situated in the rear, between Church and'Meeting street, belonging to Mr. J. J. McLean. 1 he house of Mr3. ADn M. Browne, No. 43 Tradd street, sust -ined some damage by the opark3 ignitkjg ard burning the roof. The residence of Mr. A. J. Barke, No. 30 Tradd street, also took fire several times, tut was extinguish ed without material damage. A house on the North side of Tradd-street, near Meeting, was also on fite, but it was extinguished with trifling damage. The loss by fire is estimated at a moderate calcula tion at between one hundred ad one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Tf!& most seous is the Cotton Prees owned by Mr. Wm. H. Walker, who also owned tbe house adjoining which was consumed. The other three buildings in the range mentioned above, were the property respectively of Wm. Caliaham, Mrs. Ljve greeo and J. Pczaanski. Ihe property known as the bathing establish meet, formerly occupied by Mrs. Bear, bebnged to Mr. Dan. iel TJoribeck. We have net been able to leara the amount of Ioes covered by insurance. The alarm was first givea by Captain Hale, of the Observatory, but fiom some mistake the beil was not rung or tbe alarm extended for fully three quarters of an hour afterwards, in consequence of which some of the engine3 arrived at the"place without sufficient force to work them. .Capt. W. J. Gayer, Provost Marshal, who was in attendance, immediately sent and obtained the assistance of a detachment of men from Col. Ro berts' regiment of reserves, and also dispatched a mes senger to Col. Rhett, who repaired to the spot, and ordered a detail of men from the First S. C Regular Artillery. These, together with the firemen, succeeded in checking tbe progress of the fire, and preveutiag what it was apprehended would be an extensive cor.fla gration. Notwithstanding the great danger to which they were exposed, the firemen and military kept to their work until the fire had been subdued, and too much praise cannot be awarded to Mr. E. Fourgeaud, Act ing Chief, and others having tbe direction of affairs. Some few raeualties occurred from the falling ot a por tion of the walls in Broad-street, and flying bricks. dTbe following are the names oi' those injured": German Fire" Engine Company Joht, Doscher, severely ; Chas. Berger and Henry Funk, slightly. Charlesto. Fue Company T. Murray, woudid in the leg. Private T. Leddy, of the police, wounded ia the leg, slight. Captain PoiucVs Company of Beset ves Sergt. W. P. McClimans, slight, in the arm; Privates Elijah Bellinger, thigh, severe; Thomas Brown, hip and neck, severe; Walker Meadows, thigh, severe. The origin of the fire nas not as yet been positively ascertained, but it is generally attributed to iccendiar icm. Captain Hals reports distinctly seeing a man applying a torch to the Germaa Turner's Hall, and notified the police to that effect. . From Punch. bliakespeare and 111 Sbonin!ii . Next year, we all know, will be the Shakespeare Tercentenary ; and the Stratford upon Avouites uf course will be desirous to attract a3 many visitors as may be to ther town. What interesting objects are there treasured up for inspection may be imagined from a statement in the Stratlord Chronicle, wherein it is al leged concerning Shakespeare's house and birthplace that : - " This national property bas recently undergone con siderable improvement, both in the house and the gar den that surround it. The garden in which the hcuse stands is laid out and planted with tree3 and shrubs, ai of which have a Shakespearean association, by beiua: selected from those mentioned by the dramatist iu nia works." Of course the flowers and herbs and fruit bushes have been similarly selected. What a delightful treat it would be to cosae into the garden, Maud, with some body or other who was load of quoting Shakespeare, aud to hear bim cite the passages where each tree and flower is named ! " Here's a rue for you," he would .remark, on d stovering that herb, and " 1 here a pip pins, though no caeese ; and loos, here is " a Lank whereeh tha wild thyme grows." To make the thing complete, the garden walks ought to be made of stones with sermons on them, as at the bottom oi the garden there rues the Avon, ia which the poet's eye, when rolling iu its frenzy, possibly discovered a whole library of books. Among the " curious and invaluable relics cf theim mortal," which are cartfuiiy preserved and exhibited at Stratford, the statement which we quote calls special attention to " a plaster representation in relieve of the battle between David and Goliah,'.' which must be weli worth jjurneyicg to Jericho to see. This is shown by the proprietor (on paj meat of fee), " together with the First Visitors' Book, including autographs of George the x eurtn and other eminent in dividuals, including Mr. Punch. A stiil greater treat, however, awaits the Shakes peare pilgrim at the Shakspeaie Hall, in Chapel street, woere, according to the writer who has bsen instruct ing us, may be seen an admirable full length painting, ny Wilson, of Shakespeare in the attitude of inspira tion ; and one by Gainesborough, of Garrick, reclin ing gracefully upon a pedestal, idolizing the poet's bust. The old figure of" Britannia sitting on her trident," is recalled to us by this of Garrick gractf ly reclining on a pedestal. Had it been a sofa the posture would be natural ; but to recline on a pedestal must be rather a bard feet. - r Seeing relics, even Shakespear's ia somewhat tireing work, and after beinr drad mnr.A tn thp iinns" w. I have mentioned, the visitor will doubtless be glad to si t aown sumswnere ana get something to drink. Many of the Yankee papers have published the whole of President Davis' message.

Tackson to buio, but which order, we r turret to hear was no; obeyed. Had the bridge been destroyed, the e&ipe of the enemy would hr.ve bfen ircpcsslble. Col Jackson's forets.it is staled, w-re within two miles of tbe bridg", bat faihd to gke the emjuy tuiftle.- Io tleir hurry to barn the bridge u?ter then?, they htr 1,000 men b.hinu Tbf-y were attacked by M&jor Laidj, a raosf galiact either, who at the head of only 35 mt-B, utterly routed the 1,000, cp-u;ig 300 prisoners and 30 negroes. The main coram nd ot A verill crossed Jack'iou'a river again, at Covington, about 0 a. or, Sun day, burning the bridge behind thero. 1 hey then had two roads open to them tha Warm Springs and An tbooy'3 Creek road, by one of which they have doubt-' less made gocd their escape. Gen. Fi'zbuh L:ewas i-s pursuit when last heard from, but he was 21 hcurs be hind. It is stated that Gen. Imbcden proposed taking his command direct from Lexington to Covington, when be first heard of Averill being at Salem, but he vti3 over ruled by his superior officer. Had he beea allowed to do to, the enemy would have rushed directly into the very jiv3 of the lion, a3 subsequent events proved. Geo.. Echols is said to have committed the great er or cf blockading a certain point on some mountain, w'lere there were two roads cpen to the enemy a few nrles this side. Had. Gen. B. blockaded t-kveu miies tfr's .4ide of where he did, the raiders must eventually have been caught. At Craig's creek, some 30 or 40 of the ecemy were drowned iu attempting to cross. Here they lost nearly all their wagons and ammunition. Their artillery wer pulkd ecrcsj with rop e. Mrs. Wm Scofti the proprietress cf tht lovely re sort, known as Scott'a Mountain House, in Craig coun ty, lost everything she had. Her "furniture wa3 ail de stroyed, her provisions sweptofl, aud her hors s arid muies s?o!en. She also lest a fow slaves. Themupri ty of Lefstrvanis fled to the woods On the approach ot the enemv, and reoaained concealed uatil Averill had left. Au intelligent prisoner captured ner Fsncastle, and carritd into tnat town, s'ated that he belonged to the county of Kanawha. He stated that ih? oi.j?ot of the raid waa to destroy the Salt AVo:ks, and that -mother division had gone. in s-iiother direction. The divis;ou is the same which skirmished with Gen Echols at Green brier river, and is suppod to -have turned back in consequence of information they received as, to our readiness to meet them. The understanding waa, how ever, according to the statement of tbe prisoner Ukec, that after tbe destruction of tbe Government Stores and depots at Salem, the two coin bids were to meet at Christiacsburg, Montgomery county, and march to the Salt Werks. It ia truly a matter of congratulation that the cherished object of the . enemy was not aeom-l shed, but at the yame tine, we contess our deep i egret that Averill and bw baod were allowed to escape with but Ii tie or no less or annoyance. Reliable gentlemen re siding in Roncke and Botetourt inform us that 50 men could have occupied positions in the mountain gorgejs and along the road through which Averill passed, where they would have been enabled to have completely de moralized the marauders. But it is said, that they were not fired upon at all a fact, at which we hear Averill expressed great surprise, and attributed it to a feeling or friendship for the old flag. It is a remarkable circumstance, but nevertheless true, that Gen. Forrest is the only man who has succeeded iu capturing an entire command of thee raiders since the war commecced. He did it, too, unaided by any, save his owu;command. In Avcrih's cai-e we had Fitz L?e, Imboden, Echols and Jackson, all at work, and innumerable ervoilea streams, which the energy wts compelled to cro,s, but he eluded the vigihinco of his pursuers, crossed all the streams, burnt sundry bridges behind him, andia bow happ'ly exulting over hia'ex ploits in Yankee land. R. Dispatch, 24V t imt. The Yankee Commander-in-Chief, General Halleck, has made a long report of the Yankee campaigns ol the past year, in whieh he most successfully lilts all blame from his own shoulders and neatly distabuces it upoa the backs of the commanding Generals. Nothing failed that he cfdend, and nothing succeeded that lie did not order. His vanity is. eqaalled by nothing but tr-s falsehood. Charleston Cow ier. Remarkable Social Governor. Gov. Powell, cf Kentucky, waa never an orator, but his conversational, story-telling aod social qualities were remarkable. His great forte lay ia establishing a persoaul intimacy with every one he met, and ia this way he wa3 . powerful in electioneering. He chewed immeuee epaantitits of to bacco, bat never carried the weed himself, and waa al ways begging it from every one he met. His resid.bce was in Henderson, and ia eohiipg up the Oh o, past that place, overheard the following characteristic anecdote of him. A citizen ftf Henderson coming ou board fell into conversation with a passenger who made inquiries about Powell. "He lives in your place, I believe, don't he? " "Yes, one of our oldest citizen." "Very social man, ain't he? " "Remarkably so." "Weil, I thought so. I "think he is cna of the most sociable men I ever met in all my life. Wcr;dtriu!ly sociable. I waa introduced to him over at Grtvsou springs last summer, and he hadu't been with me ten minutes when he begged all tbe tobacco I had, gt his feet npou my lap, spit nil over me reiu.ukib!y socia ble."
