I .c it tiV will iot cordially unite with us in welcoming' the re turn of the verbal influence, after a season of so much miserabij' vicissitude as the winter how nearly past.

But y , ''.j.s yet the trembling year is unconfirmed And Winter olt at eve resumes the breeze." The hopes excited by a warm, genial day,, arc at '.ill is 'critical' reason very apt to be blasted by suddeiL reverses, aud the hand of adventurous culture is doomed to m:fny disappointments ere the fruit of its toil is fully realized. Hope and cheerfulness will however, after sundry fluctua tions, remain at last. in the ascendant, and there will bo abundant success to reward the persever ance, of industry, and justify flu thankful spirit of those who recognize the hand of Piovidenee in ..the operations of nature. : Now is. the tune for the botanist tr be preha6keras Works fie Machinery of Parlia- paiing for, his excursions into ihe forests and the - fields in order - to observe, the first early manifestations of. floral beauty, and" we would recommend such excursions to the teachers and I f .

Tiie Germans have a proverb -" kleider ma- chender mann :" clothes make the man. , . . , , . i . . do not precisely adopt the sentiment, but it is pretty certain -that a man's habiliments are of ten the making or unmaking of him. Poor Mr. Sanford., the U. S.

Mr. Mason. sensihU I inari-as he is, has on thVother hand, made a fe- : licitous entree bv attending to the cut of lis a.- .

It also brings ;up another consideration, which is, that it is very.' unreasonable in our representai tives abroad not to;confonn to thr etiqui?tte of those courts to which they are accredited.

Heroism asd Des perate Battle. About two o'clock on Saturday morning, Mr. Win. Wright, residing in Ninth street, Philadelphia, was aroused by hearing seme persons in his house. He immediately dress-ed himself, and went down stairs. Before going down he arm ed himself wish a six-barrelled revolver, 'and a sort of javelin formed of a piece of water'or gas pipe pointed on ihe end, and secured to his wrist by a throng. Mt W. took a stanjl in the hall, when lie saw four rou;h looking villians light the gas and commence deliberately to ransack the dining room in search of valuables, helping themsidves to bmndy and to such other refreshments as they could find, j The Bulletin says : After a time, two of the men went up stairs, leaving the other two in the dining room. Mr. Y. knowiiig that the chambers of the members of his family were kept locked, and that no person was in his own room, (Mrs. Wright beiig absent from the city,) suffered the , two viflians to ascend the 1 s airs without disturbance. Soon one of ihe twain i who remained down stairs, and who appeared to j be a leader of the ftang, gave to his fellow a boulder of stone, w eihing about two pounds, and told him to take up stairs and " give it to the master," ad monishing him, at the same time, with an oath, to fo. .v. ...... Mr. W. thinking this wasatavorable moment for ;m attnek, rushed into-the dining room nnd made at one of the villains with his javelin. The fellow at tempted to defend himself with a formidable look ing butcher knife widi a sharp blade, about ten inches in length. The handle of this weapon Mr. W. struck as it was thrust at him, and the broken portion can now be pl. inly seen. Mr. V. immedi ately caught the fellow and threw . him headlong on the floor. The second burglar ru.-hed to the aid of his comrade, and w as greeted with a shot from the revolver, but it is uncertain whether the load took effect. The noise of . the seuffle, and the shouts of Mr. W: alarmed the two burglars who were up stairs ransacking the house, and they immediately rushed down to the assignee of their companions. The fight now beeame frightful, aud Mr. Wright was compelled tOdefend himself against the four bur glars, who cut at him with their knives and strove to kill him. Five shots were fired from the revolver ihe sixth mbsing lire and the javelin was not kept idle. Meantime, a hid, a son of Mr. W., hear ing ihe i oi-e .-houted murder lustily, and ihe fellows made the best of their way off, but not without having sustained some serious wounds. Mr. W. staffes that he fired a shot at one of the ruffians while struggling with him, and that he held the pistol close to the hack of the neck of the lat ter when he fired, and that the collar of the coat was thus set on fire. The partially burnt collar was found in ihe room after the battle. A round crowned drab w7ool hat was also found with the rim at the rear scorched. The crown of this hat i bears a heavy mark of Mr. W.'s prowess the side is cut through evidently by a heavy blow of the javelin. The lining is stained wiih blond, and a clot of gore on the inside lias a lock of long red iiair matted in it. F roni the manner in which the !iat is cut, and from the marks inside, a very seri. ous wound must have been inflicted on the robber. A blaek cloth cap wa also found; the inside is deeply stained with blood, and the cap is torn by the blows inflicted on the head of the wearer. One b ilf of the skirt: of a bine frock coat, left in the room, has a bullet hole in it in such a location as to render it almost certain that the shot which caused it was lodged in the right thigh of the wearer ! oinewhere about the hip joint. About one half I of one leg of a pair of broad-striped pantab.ons was torn oil in the stuuggle, aud was left behind by- the robbers. They were tracked a long distance in the street .by the blood which flowed from their wounds and as the po'ice are in search of them, there is little doubt of their arrest. Oil Sunday last a man came to Mr. W.'s house, and asked fyr food, and he gave him a hearty dinner. The fellow was joined bv three others jti-t :fter leaving,! and this gang, no d.iubt, are the robbers. It is a singular fact that Mr". Wright had a similar encounter, four years ago. with; four desperate negro burglars. A courag ous little oikl. The Augusta, Ga., Chronicle, publishes an extract from a private let ter, giving account of the noble conduct of a little girl, the daughter of the writer, who was a passen. ger on the ?teamer Eagle, bound from Columbusto Augusta, and which was burnt on the river. The boat was run ashore when the fire was discovered, but the passengers landed with difficulty. The ; writer says "The children and ladies had either to come j down with ropes, or to be let from a height of 13 ; tiers of cotton bales into the arms of those below ; on the main-' deck, then jump to the shore. All speak in the highest praise of the conduct of my ! daughter, not ten years old she neither cried nor screamed, but stood upon the pile of cotton, hold- j ony. At the time fixed all the lads were on hand, ing one of her lb tie cousins (boys.) by each hand, j and the magistrate who was to perform the cere exhorting them not to cry or jump ; nor would she j tt'ny was present. The maiden had not made up leave the burning wreck until she saw them safely I lur m'nd fully as to who should fie made her hap- Prided ; she then iii the mot self-possessed mr.n- , , , , ... . One of the crew, nobly responded, ' 1 will,' and at the risk of his lift, snatched her from the jaws of death. You can form some idea of the rapidity of the flames, when I tell you that in 15 minutes from i the first discovery of the fire nothing was to be j seen of the Eagle or cargo, but a few blackened par; ides of cotton. All that was done to save life was done in five minutes. I regret to have to add, ! that three deck hands were drowned ; and the !

A bill has passed the Senate of New Jersey, granting a charter for a railroad, to commence at or near Key port, and running to Tom's River and May's Landing, keeping as near the shore as prac ticable. It is stated that the ( "amden and Amboy Railroad Company will not oppose this move ment. In answer to an inquiry made by a Committee of the Senate of New Jersey, as to the terms upon which the Joint Companies Camden and Amboy Railroad and Delaware and Raritan Canal w 11 surrender to the State the works of the Compa nies. Commodore Stockton, cn behalf of the Com panies, ih a long paper, in which he says that the Joint Companies will dispose of all their interest in the works to the State, by transferring to it all the stock of the Companies, at the rate at which the last thousand shares of stock have been sold in the uvw-ket. The stock consists of 3O,OQ0 shares, of which the State now owns 2.000, leaving 28,000 to be bought, which, at 145 per share, which is about the marketrate. would amountto $4,060,000; the debt due by the companies, which would natu- rally have to be assumed by the State, including subscriptions to Belvidere, Delaware, Freehold and Jameburg, and Flemington Railroad Companies, would amount to $5,230,000, bearing interest at six per cent., excepting $1,008,000, which is at 5 per cent, this would make a total of $8,290,000, for w hich the State would become possessed of a'l the works, appurtenances and franchises of the Railroad and Canals, aud the interests of t e Com panies in the Belvidere, Delaware, the Freehold and Jamesburg, and Flemington Railroads. Phila. N. American. DEATH OF JUDGE STRANGE. We learn that it was reported by Telegraph on Sunday, that Judge Strange-died that morning at 1 o'clock. Judye S. had been afflicted w ith paralysis for" some time, from the affects of w hich he died. He was, we believe, in the 58th year of his age. He had occupied many posts of distinction and of honor in the State as well as in the couneils of the nation. He had been Senator in Congress, Judge of the Superior Courts of law, and at the time of his death, was Solicitor for the District in which he resided. The people of the Sta'e will be pain ed to hear of his death, for by his position as a public man, and by his efforts to advance the inter ests of the State, he had done much to elevate the name of the North Carolina at home and abroad. As a lawyer he had occupied an elevated stand ; as a citizen, he had contributed much to the de velopment of the varied resources of the Slate, and as a politician, he had always occupied a pro minent position in the party of which he was a member. Star Forgery. Yesterday forenoon between 10 nnd 11 o'clock a check for $2,000 purporting to be drawn by Anderson & Savage, was presented and paid at the counter of the Branch Bank of the State in tbis place. In about five minutes after Savage happened in and made a cheek for some anjount, when Mr. Smith, the Teller, laughingly remarked, that he must be making a run the bank had al ready paid a cheek of theirs that morning for $2,000. This produced an examination, when it was discovered that the check was forged. Means were immediately taken to effect the arrest of the person by whom tie offence had been committed, as well as to recover the money. In about three quarters of an hour aferthe commission of the act, he was in custody, and gave up the whole of the money, a'l in State Bank Bfils, as delivered to iim. An unsuccessful attempt had beenjnade to exchange them for oilier notes at the Commercial Pa.k. The name of the prisoner is D. W. Rogers. He is a young man, i ppatently not more than 20' years of age of very respectable appearance, and has heretofore borne an irreproachable character. We iearn that he has been for some time engaged in the Turpentine and Steam-mill buiness, at or near Lumberton. His family is highly respectable. lie was committed to prison in default of $4,000 bail. Wil. Jour. Presence of mind under difficulties. Deci dedly the coolest affair of this winter came off the other afternoon, when one of the ' fast men," in a new trotting wagon with a two horse team, turn ing out of the stable suddenly, his horse started, struck the wheels on oie side ugainst ihe curb, stone, and tipped the driver out; who scram hied to his feet, hailed a friend looking on as the team ('riverless, dashed, at full speed up the street with " Hallo! what 'if you give for that wagoii as it runs ? quick, how much ' Sixty dollars," was the reply. "Done." Two minutes afterwards, at the corner of a neighboring street, there lay a pile of broken spokes, tuyers and springs, with damaged wagon body, &c. waiting for the purchaser.
