Tbe correspondent of the Morning Chronicle
at Rome shows to what a fearful condition the
city of the Caesars has been brought :
44 The population, which was 180,000, is re-
duced to 130,000 ; the Inquisition is re-established
; the Pope and Clergy held in contempt
and hatred; thousands killed by the sword or
musket during the siege ; widows, orphans,
bankrupts, and distress in every shape ; spies
and sb'irri prowling in search of their prey (the
Liberals;) diffidence, introduced into tamilies
all social ties rent assunder ; an empty treasu
ry ; Papal currency at a discount of 13 per cent;
ali the medical men and lawyers of any talent
driven into exile ; commerce annihilated, and
young men of respectable families without em
ployment, and many without food
without fear ; a thunderbolt in war, a dew
drop in the day of peace. One that
against fearful odds; of five to one. could
sway the battle storm at Buena Vista.
And then, from the very lap of victory,
write to one, whose gallant son had died, !
to make its crown, 'when I miss his famil-
iar face, I can say with truth, that I feel
no exultation in our success.' Truh', a
great man has 'fallen in Israel.'
After alluding to his masterly defence
of Fort Harrison, when but a captain, his
b lorida campaign, and his Mexican victo
ries, by way of proving that "a great
man" had fallen, the Rt. Rev. preacher
proceeds to say :
"And, more illustrious,
even, than, in victories: the greatness that
preserved its equilibrium in the storm of
national applause and universal admira
tion ; the greatness that could see the
proudest palm of human power planted
before him within easiest reach, and not
put forth a hand to pluck it. The
greatness that went to Washington and
took the chair of State, and filled it with
the simple dignity that had directed, from
a tent, the ordering of the battle field : the
greatness of moderation: the greatness of
modesty ; the greatness of self-modesty
and control ; these do but wound our
bleeding hearts more deeply, while they
swell them with a fuller, higher admira
tion of the real greatness of the great man
who has gone from us to-day."

we would maintain our ficedom as individuals

Suffice it to say, it has been lepeatedly and

For the accomplishment of any great end," 'j
union is absolutely necessary. As an advisa- j
tory assemblage, to mature some settled policy I
by which we might secure justice, we recorn-
mended a convention from the slarebolding
states, lo be appointed by the people in their i
primary assemblages. This convention met at
Nashville, but owing to the hopes inspired by
the compromise hill, it was thinly attended j
the people of the south being unwilling to take 1
any action which would tend tobligh: ihe pros
peels of adjustment. The convention, ihen,
though its proceedings were marked with 'dig
nity and ability. Tailed to effect its purpose.'and -the
South did not feel bound to unite in swear,

with indignation at the t-hamefut conduct of the
north, were for immediate secession and de.
nounced as submissioniwts all who did not favor
their peculiar plans, while they in turn were !
denounced as agitators,' traitors,' &c. While j
contemplating this deplorable state of affairs '
we penned ihe article in question, headed The
union of the South for the sake of preserving !
tbe Federal Union." We wished to see thej
people of the South compromise their peculiar j
individual notions, and present an undivided
front bold, mild, firm anJ conciliatory -j but
determined in the maintenance of (heir rights.

A Snake Story. The Charleston, Va., Free
Press of yesterday, relates Ihe following sin
gular circumstance : M A negro in Dinwiddie
county, camj to his death, a short time since,
in the following singular manner: He was
sent into a field on an errand and not reluming
as soon as expected, search was made, and he
was found lying on the ground nearly dead, his
eyes strained from their sockets, and exhibiting
the appearance of strangulation. "X)n approach
ing nearer, it was discovered that a large snake
had crawled down his throat. They attempt
ed to draw out the snrtke by the tail, which ex.
tended a few inches out of the negro's mouth,
but it drew it in two, and the negro died at the
instant. Il is supposed that he lay down on
ihe ground and fell asleep, and th: snake find-

Horrible Suffering. We are indebted to
Capt. William H. Hopper, of the Central Road
for the following particulars : Capt. Hopkins,
of the steamer J. D. Morton, while on her pass
age from Chicago to New Buffalo, on Friday
last, discovered what he supposed to be a raft
with some one upon il, some five miles in the
Lake. He immediately turned his boat and
went for the object. He found the rafl made
of spars, with Capt. Davidson, of the schooner ' slage of action and the Goddess of dicord calls
Ihornton, upon it. It appears he was wreck- on the magnanimous and illustrious author of
