An enthusiastic Union Meeting was held in Philadelphia on last Saturday svening, at which letters breathing' conservative sentiments and de votion to country, were received from John J. Crittenden, Edward Everett, Millard Fillmore, C. M. Conrad, Jno. M. Botts, E. Brooks and George Biggs. At the conclusion of the reading' of these letters Mr. Pechin, who read them, said he had another letter to read the like of which would never again be receiv ed by that or any other com mittee, lie then read the following letter from one who is now mingling with the dust of mother earth : Boston, Nov. 14, 1850.

Editor Progress : Well, the Helperites have been compelled to abandon their ground and the struggle for the Speakership has resulted in the election of a nondescript politician, known as Wm. Pennington, of the peach-growing State of Jersey. The republicans were forced to renounce their Helper-book candidate and concentrate up on one of their most moderate and conservative rnartizans, and although his election is a calamity, yet it is a great point gained to have driven these fanatics from a position which they boastingly declared never should be deserted. " Sherman or nobody"' was the rallying republican shout; "Sherman or nobody " was inscribed upon their banner, and shrieked by their orators, with a de claration that they would never flinch until " Ga briel's last trump " or "Sherman or nobody " of Greeley's crafty pen and was daily dinned in the ears of his party leaders, while the lesser lights of the republican editorial craft sent forth feeble echoes of " Sherman or nobody." Well, Sherman they did not get, and I presume the man Pennington whom they did, must be classed un der the head of a " nobody." Politically and in tellectually the classification seems quite appro priate, notwithstanding the pretty speech he de livered on taking the chair a speech evidently carefully prepared and conned over two or three days previous to his election. The termination of this contest is a blessing indeed to the resi dents of this city. The hotel tables in the scarci ty and inferiority of their bills of fare, were be ginning to be a silent reproach to the hungry boarders and created a sickening suspicion of un paid bills and a moneyless landlord M. C's, cotraetors.and others with little claims againt the Treasury which could only be forthcoming " after the election of a Speaker," were holding daily levees from G to 8 P. 31., their guests being prin cipally " ninth part of a man," a son of St Cris- SOAP !

She wore a rich black velvet dress, cut High in the neck (sensible Lo la!) where it was met by a plain circle of lace, (is that right?) The subject of her lecture was ' Fashion,'' a theme which afforded fine scope for a display of her acknowledged ability as a sa tirist. Her denunciation of low-necked dresses was severe, declaring that the fashion originated with a dissipated, dissolute queen and was cow adopted only by vulgar peopU and dissolute wo men to display "their charms and advertise their calling. Hoop-skirts she approved and urged that a regard for health should induce the ladies to continue their use. Ahem ! Then she thought proper to say a little about as. The tight panta loons lately in vogue were unmercifully ridiculed, and our penchant for discussing Italian Opera," and criticising the female artistes, was well, I will not repeat anything ridiculing my on sex. I must close by giving you verbatim et literatim a letter written by one of the sovereigns" to his Congressional liepresentative. - Here it is : VJSL'R : I hev resuntly herd that guvuhment is abowt to introwduse a swarm uf italyun beas, fur the perpus of distrewbushun threw the kun try aftur thay hev swarmd in the aggrikulture liurow.

Recent transactions have stirred the heart's depths, and somehow the wish that I was a child again has arisen in m v heart, for then in the place of sorrow there would be joy ousness, instead ol regret there would be pleasure, instead of dissolution's dark clouds I should be hold the watch-fires of freedom burning brightly on onr country's altars.

We hope that the demonstration may be productive of good results, and that at the next Congressional election E. Joy Morris aud all others like him will be kept at home. The ballot box is the only furnace that can prove these Union sympathisers true metal. Let us hope and wait: enough washer- v union will not dissolve the IJnioii this session. Recently too there have been great jisonsti atioiis in Louisvile in the 'Teat West, at which many in the land have raised their voices forthcUni the Constitution and equal rights.

Certainly there is much to hope for; and too there is much work for every patriot to do who values the blessings conferred by the Constitution and Union under which he lives. ool acillierii Papers. It is with pleasure that we call especial atten tion to an advertisement of the Petersburg Daily and Weekly Express in another column. The Express already has got a foothold all over North Carolina and everywhere it is ackuowleged one of the very best newspapers in the country. To our own business men we unhesitatingly recom mend the Daily Express as preferable to any of the New York papers because it brings them the same news, commercial aud general, much earli er than any other publication. We are glad to know that it already has a number of subscribers at the Newbern P. O. The Weekly Express is a mammoth sheet and contains an immense amount of news at only $2 a year. The Daily is mailed to subscribers at $1 a year, both to be paid in advance. Address A. Y Crutchfieid & Co., Pe tersburg, Ya. ; or subscriptions will be received at the Progress office aud forwarded. The Southern Field and Fireside, a notice (of which also appears in our advertising columns, is worthy of special mention. It is a large eight page Literary Weekly, and one of the most reada ble papers in the whole Country. It is far superi or to any of the northern $2 Weeklies, and as such we recommend it to the public.

' The money chests of the Banks were nearly ex hausted, merchants selling of trying to sell below cost notes protested, and even in the trifling matter of imbibing "for the stomach's sake," the saloon keepers had grown surly and scanned a stranger as though he wished before furnishing the liquid to inquire, "are you a mem ber of Congress and are you going to ask that this may be charged". ' The agony is over, how ever, and the precious yellow dross is again cir culating freely. Before this comes to hand you will have learn ed that the miserable Forney has been elected Clerk of the House and Huffman of Maryland, Sergeant at Anns. In these two elections we discover the price of treachery Hickman and others of Pennsylvania, receive their thirty pieces of silver through Forney ; Henry Winter Davis, the Southern ttuitor, pockets his through Hoff man ; as for tha ignorant John I. Haskiiis, of N. Y., the mole-eyed tool of these viperous fanatics," his compensation w ill be, probably the undisguis ed eontemnt of those he so blindlv served. In Union de- j the Republican caucus of Saturday last, it was agreed to support Mr. Marston of N. II., for Door keeper and ex-Governor Ford of Ohio for Post master. It is not certainly known who their nom inee will be for Public Printer, but it is rumor ed, they have djtermiued on presenting a Mr Durfee. Forney has put in motion the guillotine. J. W. Jones of Ohio has received a Clerkship in his office and Nathan Sargent, of Peun. has been ap pointed Libiarinn. I he city is alive with patriots from a distance, most anxious to serve their suffering country, and the strong pressure of the claims of gentlemen so long denied access to the public crib, will be cer tain to insure a clean sweep out of the present in cumbents John Minor Botts of Ya , is here looking after his political interests. Tho Hon. John has been politically defunct for several years dead long since and buried ; his friends even insist on the truth of this, but John won't believe it and per sists in declaring he is stiil alive. In support of this statement he is coquetting with the republi cans, exhibiting his withered charms as though they were in the first blush of beauty. Hon. Wm A. Graham, of N. C. and quite a number of other old line whigs are here with a view it is rumored of talking counsel as to what course they shall pursue in the coming Presidential contest Crittenden is the prime mover in this matter, and if he has no better success in this attempt at for ming a party than he had in organizing " the peo ple's paity." which gave birth only to a few trai tors from Pennsylvania, he had better eschew pol itics forever. Now that the House is organized the work of scheming, planuing and intiigueing with refer ence to the Charleston Convention, will absorb the attention of politicians at this point. The friends of Judge Douglas are laboring with shrewdness and hearty good wiil, and the iudica tions now seem to favor his nomination as Pres ident. Hunter's prospects are growing dim in the South but brightening up in the North It is averred that Yirginia will not give him her vote and that her preference is stronger for Wise than for Hunter. Dickinson's friends seem quiet and Lane's friends are not advancing his interests to the extent of the facilities afforded them. Dong las has the inside track and his boldness, added to the tact, ability and sleepless energy of his friends appears, almost, to have paralyzed the ef- foits of the sunnorters of other .aspirants tor the Ih.ovr"NG AGAfN.We never can be as modest as some of the old fogies connected with the North Carolina press and there is no use in trying.

The Progress is leaving all old f low coach con cerns far behind and the people here and elsewhere are beginning to appreciate its circulation by their extensive advertising patronage. Our Daily goes wherever daily mails can carry it while our Weekly peuetrates every nook and corner, finding its way where there are no malls as well as where there are. A few more subscribers will be taken at the usual rates, $6 a year for the Daily, and $1 50 for the Weekly, to be paid in advance to save the trouble of collecting. Wealth is the motive power and selfishness the impulse that lures man to misery under the garb of a gmiiiug exterior. V Salisbury, Feb. 5th, J860. Editor of the Progress : The other day as I sat in my apartment gazing out upon the leaden clouds that overhung thesky, and musing upon melancholy things, I heard a little girl exclaim : "A bird ! a sweet little birdie has come, Mama, to pick the crumbs from the window sill." Her own little hand had scattered them there with no other purpose save the restless ever do something spirit of childhood. A glad smile broke on her innocent features as she gazed upon the sweet creature as with merry twittering movements it picked with its tiny bill noislessly one by one the crumbs from the window, then with a joyous mo tion rapidly whirled its little form through the cold piercing February air to its sheltering wood. Something like a shade of regret fell upon the child's face ; her short lived pleasure was gone; the bird had flown. With a disappointed look she turned with that instinct peculiar to childhood in search of other 'pleasures, at once innocent, pure and heartfelt. This to many may seem a very ferivial incident, but to my mind it was as the camera reflecting images of the past. It set the kalaidaiscope of memory in busy motion and rapidly scene after scene passed in review. Years were annihilated, and again as in childhood's days I watched the sweet birds, the moving array of clouds thatzalways seemed to our child's fancy as mighty armies marshalling for combat. The dancing waters mirroring the beautious face of nature and bathing the gentle flowerets that dipp ed their tender petals to the cooling stream seem ing ever as the Nerieds of old, or the water spirits, of which I delighted to read. Oft when seated in some quiet spot neath the overshadowing branches of a favorite tree, and looking up with childish love in our soul to the blue sky above, and listening to the rustle of the leaves stirred by the gentle zephyrs making music ; I have won dered if the vast overwhelming space was not tho home of those bright winged beings God's book told us of: and if the leaf music and low' breathing zephyrs were not the wavings of their glorious wings as they moved through trackless ether. At night restless with thought as we lay sleepless upon our couch gazing out on the bright stars that gemed that beautiful world of space, and the soft silvery moonbeams that floated in shining showers to earth ; we fancied the stars were celestial eyes, and the moonbeams bright glances sent from those eyes commissioned to watch over earth's sleepers. Even now this child fancy steals over me in the still moonlight and I delight to feel that such guardians are near, that heavenly wings are around and angel eyes watch ing over my loved ones. When I arose early in the balmy morn to look upon nature in its fresh ness, and beheld the shining deWdrops sparkling like diamonds upon the flowers my imagination viewed them as tear drops of angels, and the question arose in my mind, did angels weep tg water the flowers? Holy beings I knew they were and did not shed such tears as sinful mor tals. Of all the floral creation the moss rose par ticularly elicited my childish love. I had heard or read somewhere the beautiful fancy that it once sheltered tV- angel visitant to earth, and I loved to think that celestial beings gave the yourtgbuds their beautiful covering of soft green moss in gratitude, to shelter them from the scorching sunlight. I sometimes think if we would ofteuer return in heart and memory to childhood's halcy on days there would be many happier and better men and women in the. world. More of the milk of human kindness, more genial good nature, more of the pure gold of charity, and less of the iron of selfishness. We should be more like the great God in whose image we were made and the world nearer akin to that beauteous Eden which erring man long since forfeited. We should know no oppressor grinding with iron heel and indomita ble will tho lowly helpless sons and daughters of that stern sire, poverty. No pampered aristocrat would walk our streets with patrician steps gath ering up the folds of his purple to prevent con tamination from the beggar's rags.

Cioxton, a highly intelligent citizen of Essex county, Ya., had occasion to correct a servant wo man for some offense, but did so in a mild and gentle manner. This fact enraged a negro man, who vowed to have revenge, but at the time gave his master no intimation of his intention! On Wednesday last, whilst one of the servants was engaged in grinding a cutting knife. Dr. Croxton walked to where he was, and whilst looking on, without suspecting danger, another servant step ped behind him, gave him a violent blow upon the back of the head, which felled him to the ground, and then dispatched him. The two then dragged him behind the barn, and kindling a fire placed his body on it and burned it- They next cut the skirts of the saddle upon his riding horse aud then turned the horse loose, expecting to cre ate the impression that he had been attacked on the road and murdered. When the doctor was missing, his friends instituted a search for him, $13 00 10 OU 5 00 20 00 8 00 Green- Plauk road, tweutv miles from the latter place, in a healthy, moral, aud intelligent com munity; no pains wiil he spared to secure the health aud comfort of the pupils, while their moral improve ments will be cared for as well as their meutul ad vancement.

What, do the people think of being are larger, but uufortunately their purses are regarded as mere chessmen on the political board to be moved at will by wire-pullers who deter mine at this point who shall be their nominee for President ? Queer is'u't it, that a few politicians in Washington can shape the action of a National Convention and lead the delegates from the dif ferent States to tread unconciously iu the path marked out in advance; so it is however but too often. Alt kinds of appliances are being used by the friends of Douglas to secure his election. I have reasons to believe that three or four promi nent gentlemen, from so many different States have been given to understand that in the event of their respective States casting their vote for the Judge; that the nomination as Vice-President would follow. Somebody will be cheated here ; that is pretty certain. Enough of politics In the way of amusements we have been literally surfeited; balls, parties, the opera, concerts, lectures, and the menagerie in the souh wing of the Capitol have afforded a variety to suit all tastes. This weak we have the French Opera, Comiqe and Dramatic representa tions, to be followed by Strakosch's Italian Ope ra. The Cooper English Opera company which has been performing here for several nights is a feeble concern. The Prima Dorao, Annie Milner is a pretty-faced blonde possessing a sweet sopra no voice, but she is a poot aetress and her car riage on the stage ungraceful and awkward. The rest of the troupe, as performers, are beneath criti cism. Perhaps the most novel entertainment of fered our citizens this season, was the lecture of Lola Montez, (Countess of Lansdfeldt.) Her per sonal appearance, by. gas-light, is" far different to what I expected. I looked for a bold masculine woman, and saw a modest looking femenine one, with dark grey eyes in whose depths I imagined smaller than the money tyrants. e should see those from the hedges and highways of life bid den to feasts instead of the world's "dubbed gen tleman'" who matches through fashion and luxu ry's halls to the enrapturing gingle of the dollars. Brother would not be seen in hostile array against brother; sectional differences and party efuds would not threaten destruction to the peace and happiness of fair lands. If the ruling spirits of our own beloved country would return in memory to the days when with childish enthusiasm and ardent interest they list ened to the legends from their fathers of 4 the times that tried men's souls," think you thoy would ligtly talk of dissolution ; would they rath er not shrink with fear and trembling, even with awe, from severing one link in the glorious chain of confederacy 1 Would not the thought be tor ture that the noble old eagle our Aegis that has so long perched upon our flag staff should plume his wiags for flight, and away on some distant cliff sit in sullen silence, yea, despair, watching with a burning eye the strife, confusion, aye, the awlul darkness, the terrible crash of all that's glorious and grand, the pride of nations, the world's re nowned, Liberty's stupendous temple. The " land of the free and home of the brave;" the destruction of all that is fair and beautiful among the nations of the earth. Oh! will not Americans by all the pure and holy associations of childhood, by the noble blood poured on Northern hills and Southern plains, rally around our glorious Con stitution and preserve it from the danger impend ing over it ? Raise high above it the victorious stars and stripes and cry dishonor and a treachery worse than an Arnold's, or Burr's, in the mad be ings who dare talk of dissolution.
