' JUNE MONTHLIES. Ve are indebted to Mr. Ponieroy for the June number of Harper's splendid "Monthly." It is worthy oT especial praise. It opens with a re print of Cray's celebrated "Elegy written in a Country Church Yard" a poem which, ever liiict its first publication, has charmed its rea der!, and which is still perused with undimin- Iiihed delight. It appears, on the present occa rob richly and profusely ornamented. Thirty I two beautiful designs, representing a -scene for I every etania, witu a thirty-third, containing a new of the old Church of Stoke-Poges; the scene lof the Elegy, are its embellishments. We are also in receipt of Putnam's Magazine I far the present month. It is an excellent num- Ibtr.and, as usual, is filled with the choicest natter. The "University Magazine" is before us, too Itithagood table of contents. This is the last number to be issued under the auspices of the forwent Editors. It will be controlled for the Incxtjear by Messrs. J. A. Engelhard, L. J IHerritt, J. C. Moore. W. C. Nichols and W.L, I Scott. "CAST ALIA INSTITUTE."

Washington, May 31, 1853. i The' remark is daily made, that onr great statesmen have nearly passed away, and there are none coming on to supply their; places. Why is this so T for the fact is admitted, indeed cannot be denied. Why have we so few great ruling minds now, in Congress, 'and' in the councils of the nation? Let me answer this question by asking aiother. Can a man be come a finished seainaa, by any amount of ex perience in commandiig and navigating a bark canoe upon a river or mill-pond f Can any one become truly great who is never called upon to grapple with great questions, and is always en gaged upon trifles? Surely not ; no one is silly enough to expect a mere pettifogger before a justice's court to become a profound lawyer; and just as well may one look for men to be come statesmen, who spend their time in dema goguing among the peoyle, and pettifogging a Congress ; who torn therr attention to the acqui sition of the "spoils of oflice," rather than to important questions of national policy. "Take away the offices," says some one, "and the two parties would have pothing to contend for." If the offices are the only objects of contention be tween them, no wonder that the great minds of the country consider politics too contemptible a business for them to meddle with, and leave the field to those whose mental calibres are adapted to the game that is played ; no wonder that the minds of those who thus play at jack straws become belittled, and lose the power of grappling with subjects of greater moment. I am as little suited to Congress, as Con gress, as at present constituted, is suited to me," remarks Judge Bragg, of Mobile, in a letter to a frieud, declining to become a candidato for re-election to the House of Representatives. The remark is a cutting sarcasm upon that body. And as tho cabinet of the President "is 1 now constituted," and in view of the petty business in which it is daily engaged, I cannot doubt that, were Mr. Calhoun or Mr. Clay liv- ng, the same remark would bo drawn from them by an invitation to become a member or members of it. Can any one suppose that such men, and where are those who can fill their places ? that such men would condescend to spend their time and occupy their minds with the "piddling" business that has absorbed the President and his cabinet for nearly three months past? No wonder Judge Bragg de clines becoming a candidate for Congress again, after having served one term and become ac quainted with that body, and I greatly fear that men of standing and character, like him, will become more and more unwilling to occupy seats in the Representative Hall. Such, indeed, has been the case for man j years past. The guillotine and the bow-string are still in active operation in the Treasury and Interior Departments, some ) tug heads being collected and presented ta the Grand Sultan every day. lne JJemocrats seem 10 nave carneu every Congressional District in Virginia, owing to the Gerrymandering of that State. When this sys tem of gerrymandering a State was first at tempted, as it was in Massachusetts, under Governor Gerry, from whom it therefor took its name, the people were indignant at the in j usticc it was intended to perpetrate upon a large portion of the citizens, and became so in censed that instead of carrying every district, as its authors expected, at the next election, they did not carry a sinyie one. This just rebuke of so vile an attempt at usurpation and the disfran chisement of a large portion of tho community, read the party a lesson of political morality which they did not soon forget. The people had not thai become quite insensible to usurpa tion and injustice, even though perpetrated in the name of democracy ; but it would seem that they have been progressing since, at least in Virginia, and can as unblushingly justify and sanction, what forty years ago shocked the moral sense of the people of Massachusetts, as the most slavish courtier and hackneyed syco phant can conjmend the grossest usurpation and injustice of his monarchical and despotic master. Truly this is an age of progress ! If my rights are invaded and my voice smothered, what care I whether it is done by one manor many men ; a despotic King, or a despotic majority; the tyranny of one, or the tyranny of tho many? And is not the minority virtually disfranchised in that State ? Have presentation in Congress ? Nay, have the six ty or sixty-five thousand Whig voters there a single representative ? And yet, are they not called on to pay taxes ? And it was because taxation and representation did not go hand in hand that caused our patriotic fathers to rebel against the usurped power of England no more usurped than that of th? tyrannic majori ty in Virginia ! Foreigners are disposed to make merry at the scenes presented here on the out-going and in coming of a President. "Blackwood," speaking of the circulation of matter, the coming in of new particles into Our bodies and the going out of the old ones, says, "All are on the move, like Yankee officials when a new President enters the White House some just arriving with all their traps and fitting themselves lntfftheir new stations, some packing up bag and baggage, ready for a start, and some already on the march, disappearing in the distance." It must be remembered that the term "Yankee" ap plies! equally in Europe and other parts of the world, to all Americans, whether born North or Sooth of Mason's and Dixon's line. It is our national designation. The mania of 1836. 7 and '8, in regard to nronertv. is rife here at this time ; it has risen bevond all calculation, and I fear must have a ruinous fall ere long. The holders of lots scarce ly know how much to ask, and purchasers seem to think that lots of land are sure to fill their pockets with lots of money. A TELLING TALE. The administration of Mr. Fillmore, says the New York Express, was signally abused by the Democratic organs, especially by thei Union, in Washington, fqr its "extravagance,'.' "waste of the public money," " profusion," &c. No ad ministration was ever purer, not even those of George Washington and John Quincy Adams -ihe purest that were ever had but it wvs nevertheless pronounced extravagant and cor rupt, just as John Quincy Adams'! was. Time, however, Facts and Figures, in the end, set all right with the intelligent mind. The Register of the Treasury recently issued a statement, from which it appears that the es timates of the Fillmore administration for the fiscal year 1850-51 were ; $37,680,017 Appropriations by a Democratic Congress, Democrats appropriated over what Fillmore asked The Fillmore administration asked in 1851-2, The Democratic Congress appropriated 47,162,106 $9,482,489 $33,657,489 38,162,262 Appropriated over Fillmore's ask ing, $4,404,773 So a Democratic Congress in two years gave Fillmore more than he asked, $13,9S7,262 Is not further comment unnecessary ? But it should be remarked that Congress gave noth ing for the defence of the country nothing for Fortifications, though he asked in 1852, $739, 300 and little or nothing for internal improve ments to bring out the resources of the country, though the President asked $1,155,778. Much of the money Congress gave was wanted in the Indian Department, and otherwise. A CANDID CONFESSION. The " Halifax Republican," whose editor has lately turned locofoco, (and who seeks, by the way, it is amusing to observe, every oppor tunity of proving that he is no hypocrite in his new faith,) makes the following unguarded, but none the less truthful, admission : "Ecer since General Pierce was inaugurated as President of the United States a station to which he was j called by almost the unanimous voice of the 1 American neonle. he has been husilv eno-affiil r j ' j o o in removing Whigs from office, and supplying their places with Democrats." A pretty busi ness, truly, for an Administration to have been THE SEVENTH DISTRICT. The contest in this District waxes hotter and hotter. The ''Salisbury Watchman" gives an account of the discussion between Messrs. O3" eorni and Craige in Salisbury, portions of which we subjoin : 'Messrs. Osbornb and Craigk, rival candi dates for Congress in this District, addressed their fellow citizens of Rowan, at the Court House, in Salisbury, on Tuesday last. It was one of the most interesting political discussions we have heard for years, and we advise the vch ters of the District to hear these gentlemen by all means to travel twenty, thirty, or even fif ty miles, rather than not hear them. The Whigs of the District, and of the State, are as sured that Mr. Osborne is doing his whole du ty, handsomely and powerfully. His old friends those who have known him for yeairs frankly admit, that they have been deceived in him. They have always regarded him as a strong and eloquent debater ; but his speech here on Tuesday so far surpassed any thing his friends ever heard from him before, that they c urapturecr. A most decided gouu cow., was produced. It was plainly evident that his . opponent and his friends fell that the argument was against them, strong and convincing ; and that the people of Rowan, as it regards the dis tribution of the proceeds of the public lands, settled down into the conviction that Mr. Os boene was right, and Mr. Craige, wrong. On the subject of acquisition of Territory, Mr. CraIge takes the ground indicated in the inaugural address of President Pierce indefi nite and vague as it is. He is in favor of re ceiving Cuba if she shall establish her indepen dence of Spain, and apply for admission into our Union ; or in the event it is thrown into the markets of the world, he is in favor of purchas ing. He, is in favor of extending our acquisi tions indefinitely, if it can be done without vio lence to the rights of others, and our own trea ty obligations. . Mr. Osborne takes the opposite ground : He shows that this lusting for more land is preg nant with evil. He shows that it leads inevi tably to domestic dissensions will open afresh the dangerous question of slavery will array the North against the South, and the South against the North that it mav lead to hostili- I ties and a severance of Union, and all the dire j consequences of an event so much deprecated by all true Americans. His arguments are reasonable clear conclusive, and are sustain ed in a measure by the experienco of the past history of the country. Here again, so far as the indication of popular feeling went, the peo ple were with Mr. Osborne. His appeals to the reason and common sense of the meeting were irresistible."

Herald. EXTENSION OF THE N. C. RAIL ROAD. It is not time for the friends of the Extension of the N. C. Railroad from Goldsboro' to Beau fort, to come to some decision as to what they will do in the premises? On a visd to Beau fort last week, we found that the people of Car teret are, as is natural they should be, ardently in favour of 'connecting the Atlantic at that point with the West. But we must say, that in general, they appear to be too much liko the Railroad men this way. They are zealous en? ough in talk, but too backward in action. W may be over sanguine in our estimate of the imt portance of this extension to Carteret, but we i hazard the opinion that if the people of that County wouldl subscribe upon the basis of the charter granted by the last Legislature, for ex tending the Road, two thirds the value of all the property Jn the County, and could thus se cure the building of the Road, that they would be, in the long run, decidedly gainers by the operation. As more directly interested than any other portion of the State, should not the people of that COnnty come boldly up to the work, And seWan example ef vetrtarth raTgeTy,' HF anvrventure there is in the citse.) for the Bake ot securing a speeaj- ..Qnt of this important work? But to come more directly to the point, what is the first step now practicable to take ? Clear ly, a survey of the route. $4000 we think was the sum appropriated by the last Legislature for a survey, and if we mistake not, (not hav ing the act before us) the Governor was autho rized to appoint a competent Engineer, and have a survey made. Has the Governor made any movement yet to carry out the provisions of the act? We are not apprised of any neces sity for waiting, and can see many reasons why action should be immediate. Tho practicabili ty tU building a road over the proposed route, we presume, no one questions, and the engineer will doubtless so report after his survey. But the'details, the location of the road, the best route, the estimated expense, &c. &c. can only be ascertained from a survey. The sooner these details are settled and made known to the public, the sooner the. people will arrive at some defi nite decision . upon the question. Governor Reid, it appears to us, should act in tho promis es at once. Should the report of an Engineer be favoura ble, as there is every reason to believe it will be, the next question will be, how shall the road be built? , Three methods suggest themselves, by either of which the work can be accomplished, if those interested will but come up in the proper spirit to the work, and take hold of it with a due de gree of energy One is for its friends, without waiting for another session of the Legislature in order to prucure a more favorable charter, to take right hold of the matter in earnest, and if possible, get the amount necessary to build the road subscribed by individuals under the late charter. Should it be necessary to get sub scriptions out of the State, who knows, until a trial is made, j whether or not stock would not be taken in soiue of the Northern cities ? The true way is to build it ourselves, past all doubt, but if this is iVund impracticable, it will not be worth while to-refuse the aid ot Northern Capi talists if it caii be had. Another plan for ac complishing the same end, and the one perhaps towards which; public expectation is more gen erally turned at this time than any other, is to wait the meeting ot the nest Legislature, and then press for: a more favorable charter than that granted t the last session one in which tne State will take two thirds of the Stock. The priucipal objections to this plan are, that it will at best be attended with further delay, and that too much uncertainty awaits upon the result. 1 hore is anuther way in which the road might be built and which, could the Legislature be brought to adopt it, might be the most certain to secure the desired end. This is to let the State, through, the Legislature, be authorized to subscribe for the wliole Stock necessary to complete the road, and build it and then to sell out the stock for whatever it would bring, to in dividuals. l!(is might involve a temporary loss to the Stae, but she would soon be amply remunerated ia the increased value such a work would give to property, and the stimulus it would give to esvery branch of productive indus try, and thus enable and render willing our ci tizens to repay her amply in an increased ro venue. This has been done by some States, in some cases perhaps from necessity, but it has in the long run, worked almost uniformly to the advantage of the State. We merely throw out this latter suggestion, by way of pointing out the different schemes for building the Road that wo have heard suggested by its friends. Our own idea is to act promptly and at once, and let us see what can be done now, under the present Charter, and run the risk of getting aid if it becomes necessary from the State. Our chances for securing this aid will doubtless be greatly multiplied by manifesting now a deter mination to hare the work accomplished. JXewbem News.

Every reader will hail with emotions of glad ness, and earnestly pray to have confirmed, the intelligence furnished in a Telegraphic despatch in another column of t.ie unexpected preserva tion of nearly all the passengers of the ill-fated ship William, and Mary, the sad story of whose destruction at sea, by the ship striking on a rock, recently produced so universal a senti ment of horror. Ihis intelligence, whilst it conflicts with Restatement of the disaster made by the Captain on his arrival at New York, sus tains tho statements of one or two of the seamen attached to the vessel, that the ship remained afloat an hour and a half at least after she was abandoned by the captain and crew, who, while going oft" in the boats, had time, in nautical phrase, "to run the abandoned vessel down," or out of sight.; Further intelligence will be looked for with eager interest, involving as it does hopeful concern for tho safety of so many poor people, and a j udgment of great serious ness upon the conduct of the captain, his offi cers, and a portion of the crew.

READ AND BE CONVINCED. The Philadelphia Saturday Gazette' says of , DR. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS, i "It is seldom that we recommend what is termed Patent Medicines to the confidence and patronage of our readers ; and, therefore,' when we reoom-Ki mend Dr. Hoofland's German Bitten, we wish it to j be distinctly understood that we are not speaking of the nostrums of the day,! that are noised about for a brief period and then forgotten after they have done their guilty race of mischief, but of a medicine ' long established, universally prised, and which has -met the hearty approval of the faculty itself." . Scott's Wjo.t said, August 25 . ' " "Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters manufactured by Dr. Jackson, are now jreoommendedvoy some of the . most prominent members of the faculty j as an ar ticle of much efficacy in ease of female . weakness. As such is the case, we would advise all mothers to obtain a bottle and thus save themselves much sick ness. Persons of debilitated constitutions will find these Bitters advantageous to their health as we know from experience the salutary effect that they have upon weak systems." J MORE EVIDENCE. - J. G. Moore, Esq., of the Daily News, said, Oc tober 31st - Dr. Hoo rutin's Ge&xax Bitters We are ' trying this renowned medicine for a stubborn die ease of the bowels, and can with truth testify to its efficacy.

U. v. uineune, Mayor oi tne uity or (jam den, N. J., says : . : , , HoorLAXD's uumaji Bitters. We have seen many flattering notices of this medicine, and the source from which they came induced us to make " inquiry respecting its merit. From inquiry we were persuaded to use it, and must say we sound -it specific in its action upon diseases of the liver and digestive organs, and tbe powerful influence it ' exena upn nervous jrwcibsb is reauy urpna ing. It calms and strengthens the nerves, bring ing them into a state or repose, making sleep re- freahing.. -i-t, - j . -: -v U this mediane was mere reneraliy used, we are satisfied there would be less sickness, as from -the stomach, liver and nervous system, the great ' majority of real and imaginary dilutee emanate. Have them in a healthy condition, and you can bid' defiance to epidemic generally. This extraordi nary medicine we would advise our friends who are ataH indisposed, to'give a trial ftwill recom mend itself. It should, ia fact, be in every family. No other medicine can produce . such evidence of merit." . . .?!,... , : For sale wholesale and retail at the -GERMAN MEDICINE STORE. No, 120 ARCH Street, one door below Sixth.
