You will think, Messrs. l-xlitors, that I hnve grown laiy in my correspondence; but I have taken a- little junt lately ; and we have been having a god deal of company both before and since our return. We have had a swevt little Quajker friend rom the city of brotherly love with us. She was vis itingKomerifnds in tiiiilford, and as we were indebted to the fatnilyjfor some kind oftices when we were North two years ago, we brought her out to 'T le Oaks" for a few weeks. It waf in a god measure for her periisal, that 1" gave yJu that last chapter of "IVtprV opijiions of his young mistress and her admirers.

We took Itachel to jchurch last Saturday and Sunday; a country communion occasion.

I saw cousin Ham with" that stupid gaze upon hie face onrje, and as we rode home I showed him how hej looked! I have never seen him stare ataa lady thus since, nor do I think any one else has. I do not think it is a disposition to seek or to ,rW fault, but a real wish that my friends should look and appear well, and a mortification when they do not, which makes j me notice these little things. ?

But goodbyg for this time. Yours, Ac, MARY L. Misallanemts. Curious Mode of Getting a Wife. One little act of politeness will some times pave the way to fortune and pre ferment. . The following illustrates this fact : ,A sailor, roughly garbed was saun tering through the streets of New Or leans, then in a rather damp condi tion from the recent rain and rise of the tide. Turning the corner of a much frequented alley, he observed a lady standing in a perplexity, appa rently "measuriug the depth of the muddy water between her and the op posite sidewalk with no very satisfied countenance. The sailor paused for he was a great admirer of beauty ; and certainTy jhe fair face that peeped out from under 'a little chip hat and au burn curls hanging glossyand uncon firmed over, her muslin dress, might tempt a curious of admirjng glancej. Perplexed, the lady put orth one lit; tie foot, when the gallant sailor wLtfi characteristic impulsiveness, exclaim ed : J "That pretty foot, lady, should not be soiled with the filth of this lane ; wait for a moment only, and I will make you a . path." So SDringmg.past her into a car- nenter's shon opposite, he bargained for a plank board that stood in the doorway, and coming back to the smil ing girl, who was coquettish enough to accept the services-of the handsome young sailor, he bridged the narrow black stream, and she tripped across with a snerry "thank you," and a roguish smile, makingdier eyes as daz zling as they could be. Alas ! our young sailor was perfect ly charmed. .What:else could make him catch up and shoulder the plank, and follow the little witch through the street to her home. ! She twice per formed the ceremony of "walking the plank," and each time thanking him with one of her eloquent smiles. Pre sently our young hero saw the lady trip up the marble steps of a palace of a house, and disappear within its rosewood entrance. For a full mo ment he stood looking at the door, and then, with a wonderful big sigh, turn ed .away, disposed of his draw bridge, and returned to his ship? The next day he was astonished with an order of promotion from the captain. Poor Jack was speecniess with amasement. He had not dream ed of bein exalted to the dignity of second mate's office on board one of the most splendid ships that sailed out of the port of New Orleans. He knew he was competent, for, instead of spending his money for amusements, visiting theatres andjbowling alleys, on his return from sea; he purchased books and became quite a student; but he expected years to intervene be fore his ambitious, hopes would be re alized. His superior officers seemed to look upon him with considerable leniency and gave him many a fair opportuni ty of gathering marine knowledge, and in a year the, handsome, gentle manly young mate had acquired un usual faTor in the eyes of the portly commander, Captain Hume, who had first taken the smart little black eyed fellow with his neat tarpaulin and ti dy bundle, as cabin boy.

His homely but earnest act of po- nteness towards his child had pleased the Captain, and, though the youth knew.it not, was the cause of his first promotion. So that now the old man has retiredfrom business, Harry Wells, is Captain Wells, and Grace Hume, according to polite, parlance, Mrs. Captain Wells. In fact, our" honest sailor is one of the richest men in the I Crescent City, and he owes, perhaps, the greatest part of his prosperity to his tact and politeness in crossing the street. The Constitutional Union Party. The representatives of the " Con stitutional Union Party" of the United States, who met in convention at Baltimore on the 9th of last month, and nominated John Bell, of Tennes see, for the Presidency, and Edward Everett, of Massachusetts, for the Vice Presidency, have, as is conceded on all hands, entitled themselves to the respect of the whole country, on account of the harmony and conserva tism of their action. They were as sembled from no selfish or sinister pur poses, but in view of the present di vision of political parties, and the agi tated a n d alarming condition into, which the country has been plunged by their errors and excesses., llepre senting all parts of the Union, they were influenced by the hope 'of being 'enabled to quiet those .disturbing ele ments which have excited discord be tween the North and South, and to put a stop to Sectional strife and agi tation. To these high objects their labors were directed, without refer ence to individuals, or to the mere triumphs of a party. With such a spirit only to animate them, they dis carded all those tricks and devices by means of which parties, of late years, have been in the habit of achieving their successes, and avowed their sole purpose to be to stand 'by " the Constitution-,, the Union, and the enforce ment of the lairs," as - expressing a policy sufficiently broad and national for all tle purpose's of good govern ment, and as sufficiently protective of all the just rights of every tsection of the States as well as the "Federal Union. If these are objects worthy to be achieved, then may they justly claim a portion of the public regard. If the establishment of the American Union was, in-;fact, what We have al ways esteemed it to be, the most im portant event in history, the preserva tion of its integrity and the perpetua tion of its authorit' arc the highest duties of patriotisni uhd the noblest services which can be rendered to the State. , The fathers of .the Republic, in their compact of government, displayed a wisdom which excited the admiration of the world. Representing a diver sity of local interests and sentiment which, in minds less patriotic and more selfish than theirs, were calculated to excite jealousies and strife, thev yiel- ded them all up upon the common al- - 1 x ...

Un der its guidance they were enabled to establish the "model Government" of the world, "in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity."

There is no disguising the fact that local jealousies have been fermented between the North and South, and that thev are becoming more and more alarming every day. As the inevita ble consequence of such a state of thing4 we are continually startled with some new theory, intended to prove if hat opposite interests exist be tween the sections, and that these in vite toj a collision an "irrepressible conflict" which must terminate in the triumph of one over the other. Distrust and alienation have, by these means,! become disseminated-throughout; the country, until, in all our party contests, true patriotism is lost sight of in the struggle for sectional ascen dency, j Two great parties are now rivalling each other in their fierce ap peals to local prejudices. The Repub licans, having cut off from their or ganization nearly one-half the Union, are laboring with indefatigable indus try to concentrate the northern vote upon their candidates for the Presi dency and Vice Presidency, while the Democrats, with like pertinacity, arid even in,; the midst of their present par ty demoralization, clamorously insist that the rights of the South are only safe in their hands. The storm of passion! which these rival factions have incited is now raging with fearful vio lence, and the hearts of brave men aro almost failing them in view of the un certain Ifuture of the country. In the midst of this storm, while these angry elements are" raging so fierce'y, the " Cmiztitutional Uirion Party" would pour oit upon the troubled waters, and calm tbpm into perpetual quiet. They put forth the olive-branch of peace, that it may hush this sectional strife foreverj They would eradicate the Iovq of party from every mind where it exists, and plant the love of coun try in its place. Instead of weaken ing, they would cause the bonds of Union to grow stronger and stronger. with every rising and setting sun ; and regarding the people of all the States as "members of the same poli tical faihily, tied together by the same common destiny," they would teach them to await "tlie same common pros perity, or common adversity, in all time to come." -Union Guard. - Chemistry of Nature. One of the mountain streams which form the Schuylkill river holds in so lution so much lime from the lime stone region which it traverses that the water is unsuited for domestic pur poses.

" About the. time of this ! disgraceful proceeding, we noticed al hat or two ascending towards the ceil ing ; and distinct "whoops" and j "hurras" were given in different parts i of the Convention. Then, again, when Mr. Dick, of North Carolina, got the floor and attempted tD speak, he was almost "howled down," before a sharp politician could make. members under stand that Mr. Dick aforesaid was a political martyr of "great moral cour age," who came there to sustain Doug las, altho' he carried Mr. Buchanan's commission as District Attorney, (a: vastly lucrative office, especially in. the interior,)' in his "pocket." After that explanation, the howls became appro--batory and complimentary: and the, young gentleman went on to deliver, for twenty or thirty minutes,'a string of most execrating fustian showing, we thought, of what very weak stuff federal Attorneys are sometimes made. We afterwards heard that a gentleman of position took the ground that this speech was superior to any delivered by Mr. Yancev., while at Baltimore. The speech published with the remark added in a foot note would constitute the. most effective joke of the season. At another time, during the same morning, a Tennessee mem ber made a glorification speech, in which he alluded to five of the with drawn delegates from his State, as having been "picked "up" in Baltimore. Another rather craney and long-necked, but intelligent and determined Tennessean, who held his seat in the Douglas Convention by the same ten ure (having been "picked up," like the other five, to complete the delegation,) arose and after great labor cditained a hearing, and cauterized the first speak er in the severest style. In fact, the affair got so warm at last, Tennessean number one walking up the aisle, and I number two following with violent ges ticulations, ?ls fast as the jam would allow, that we offered a small even bet that there would be a fight. But the 'original' delegate, tho' much the larger man, did not allow his colleague to 'pick' him 'up,' but judiciouslytkept out of arm's reach. It was worthy of remark how coolly Mr. Butler took the riotous and haff frantic conduct of the members, in his own case. When the swell of voices was sufficient to drown entirely his own good organ, he would quietly cross his arms and wait for his assailants to get out of breath ; then he would pro ceed again, and, finally, was heard in respectful quiet. We shall never for get his last sentence, nor how it 'sold' the Convention, nor how the galleries cheered it ! He had been giving rea sons why he could not remain in the Convention and he concluded thus: "And, finally, gentlemen, I cannot consent to remain in a Convention call ing itself National and Democratic, ! which has tolerated and sustained" here the speaker made a prolonged pause, during which members and spec- tators leaned forward and strained tlieir ears to catch the remaining words, which "were -"the African Slave Trade .'" Then as the speaker slipp ed quietly away, the galleries shook the strong walls with a double "plug ugly" cheer for the sell, while the members looked inexpressibly blank and bothered." The "pop-gun" speeches delivered, by tne spokesmen or the several aele- gations, as prefaces to the votes, were mostly very poor, being composed gen- erally of one part bitterness towards the Seceders, to two parts braggado cio.

There was not a 'more ordinary, unassuming and avnarentlf ' uninterested man in the whole scene? than he, .. ; Wearing a brown felt hat. nulled forward over his eyes, a red flannel shirt, coarse t heavy shoes and a pair-! of blue pantaloons, in the pocktt whicn both hands were thrust, 8,nd with no coat on, Garibaldi looked more like any Yankee -farmer "coming-in trom tne neia than' the leader ot -a revolution. ' Understandine' who we were, he shook us warmly by the hand, and in good English, assured us that we were welcome. He was. just going to dine, and with the remark, that our forefathers had tables as poorly furn ished, he invited us to a seat with him. So we sat down to a dinner which car ried one's thoughts back, to the days of our own Marion. The General was seated at the root of the tree on a. small box. Saddles and basketsivere placed around for the rest of-ug, A dozen or more, sitting and standing, with, the aid of clasp knives and fin gers, made a lively attack on a huge kettle ot cooked meat, onions and po tatoes, placed on the ground assisted by liberal supplies of country wine, tasting better in our tin cups- than at -the most costly feast.' It was a rare i sight, and one to be remembered for & lifetime. Garibaldi was, of course, the most interesting of the whole ; but ; apparently unconscious of . it all, ho-" kept a general conversation, making -numerous inquiries of his friends in v New York of General Avezzani in-'' particular, with whom. I was acquain- -ted, and who had fought with him ; i also of Col. Colt, who was a personal friend and had presented him with four revolvers, and one hundred more -for his men, whichj through some bltm- ? der, had. been left behind in his de s' partufe from Genpa a loss which he -felt very much. In personal appearance Garibaldi is -about five feet ten niches in height, stronglyi-but not heatily built, with muscle and a hand like iron; fair com plexion, somewhat sunburnt, and has a full short beard, oririnally red, but now partly grey; a high straight fore head, brown hair with, partial bold ness, and dark eyes, set far back, give him, when uncovered, an airofr quiet dignitj which cannot fail Hoiropreia one with an undefined feeling o res pect ami admiration, though bis whole bearing is such as to make a stranger ,, rfeel perfectly at his ease.
