The Roman took no note of the love- ly Scene; for objects of greater impor tance abstracted his mind from every thing passing on around ; and, therefore, he walked rapidly through the garden, accompanied by his slave, until they reached the trees where the mules were fastened, as we have before stated.

Keeping in the! shadow of the grove, they gradually neared the doors of the temple, and the Roman stationing him self on the one side of the entrance, bade his slave stand on the other, and observe strict silenctf. Shrinking into the niches near the' portaF, and conceal ing themselves as much as possible, they awaited, motionless as statues, the re tain of the victims.

In those days of religious rancor, every event which could in any way be made to prejudice the Christians every crime committed in a clandestine man ner, was attributed to them by their, op ponents, in order to bring their cause under the greater odium ot the public, and finally, through their, instrumentali ty, to effect its total overthrow. The sect Was a mark for all suspicions of criminality, and suffered very frequent ly ; in fact, always the punishment for offences to which it was not a party. It was so much an opject of interest to the corrupt priests of the Pantheon that the Christian religion should be destroy ed, that they spared neither time nor wealth in endeavoring to bring about its hoped for ruin. - Their efforts, as we all know, were futile and the tree which they attempted to up-root, has since spread forth its limbs and flourished more luxuriantly, until it shadows half a world. On the morning after the events above narrated had occurred, some of those at tending at the temple having discovered traces ot blood at the portal where the murder had been perpetrated, instantly spread the intelligence, and a crowd was speedily assembled upon the spot. Some, more sagacious than others, ob serving that there were prints of a mule's foot, and occasionally drops of blood vis ible in the path conducting towards the river, proceeded in that direction, guided by this fatal evidence. Arriving at the bank of the stream, and not being able to find any more tra ces than those on its margin, thev at once inferred that the corpses of the murdered persons had been cast therein, and set .about attempting to recover therrV "r ' A priest who stood near by, directing what dhould be done in this extremity, was thus interrogated by one of the crowd. " Knowest thou who these murdered persons are ?" " Yea, Menius : one of the lost, is Junos,8 high priest the other, the fa vorite priestess of Dian ; Argillus and Celeste ; they are the murdered." He then passionately added " When will our holy religion be again blessed with two such zealous supporters never, never ! The Gods desert our desolated shrines, and Rome becomes the prey of tier enemies ! The days spoken of by our great poet are fast approaching 1 Jam panca jugera hoatile aratro,' " Thus he spake, and a melancholy ex pression of regret darkened his youth ful countenance. " What particulars hast thou to ex plain tins ? where happened it and how?" said the other, after a brief pause. M There is no evidence save what may be inferred from the hate and jealousy with which tome m the city regarded them. To what other cause can the perpetration of so foul a deed be attribu ted 7 But last night, and these two were arranging lor our noiy anniversary preparing every thing in order to influ ence the immortal cods moie particular ly in our favor, and bring down their blessing upon imperial Rome ; but whilst they are thus proposing, others are whef tingthe dagger to pierce their hearts, and enacting the initiatory scenes of this horrible drama.

What evidence stronger than that should be required 7 Their inveterate hatred to the victims, and the blood upon that poignard, are sufficient witnesses to con vict them of the Crime laid to their charge. Is it not so, Romans do they not deserve the severest punishment that can be decreed 7" cried he, appealing to the bystanders. They exclaimed vehemently "Death to the Nazarenss !" " Death to the mur derers of Argillus and Celeste I" Re venge and blood 1" At the intervals between these enthu siastic bursts of popular feeling, the priest endeavored by his words to incite them still more, crying out "the sanctity of the altar has been profaned and the ven geance of the gods called down upon Rome. Where, when will our lives be. safe if these assassins are allowed to stalk through our streets untouched, unpun ished?" - These and other expressions made by him, raised the popular indignation to its highest pitch. ' During this time a number of the city guard, and some of the crowd, had been busily occupied in attempting to recover the bodies of the murdered persons.! A loud exclamation proclaimed the success of their efforts, and shortly after the corpses were drawn out upon the shore. The first one was the man, whom the young priest declared was the officer in the temple of Juno. The other corpse he also identified as that of the youthful priestess ot Dian. They were clothed in the same robes as when committed to the deep, on the night previous, and the stain of blood was still upon them. The gaping wounds in the breast, where the dagger had entered, were still fearfully appa rent, for the garments which had envel oped their bosoms were partly drawn a side, (possibly Li the attempts to recover the dead from die water,) exposing them to the view ot the observer. Arranging their dresses and compo sing their limbs in a becoming manner, the soldiers, under the direction of the priest, raised the bodies from the earth, and bore them towards the temple, fol lowed by a portion of the crowd who had witnessed their recovery. The greater number of those left be hind, hastened to the hall of Justice, in or der to be present at the trial and execution of those Christians who had been taken by the legionaries on the night before. They were, generally-speaking, the low est class of Romans the vilest plebeians who were always ready to attend on and visit any spectacle, however horrible it might be whether it were the death of a gladiator, " butchered to make a Ro man holliday, or that of the innocent and undeserving Christians, who form ed, by far, the majority of persons then executed in the Imperial City. concluded in our next J Splitting Hairs. Some years ago, Roger M. Sherman, and Perry Smith, of Connecticut, were opposed to each other, a a advocates, in an important case before a court of justice. Smith opened the case with a violent and foolish tirade against Sherman's political character Sherman rose, in a composed manner, and remarked : " I shall not discuss politics with Mr. Smith before this court, but I am per fectly willing to argue questions of law, to chop logic, or even to split hairs with him."

THE WHIGS AGAIN TBICMPHAST ! I Maryland has spoken with a voice of Thunder. The full returns of the election of Maryland, which took place on the 8th Inst, shows a complete triumph for the Whigs j they will have in the Legislature on joint ballot, V majority I Five in the Senate, and 22 in the House of Delegates. The Baltimore Clipper, a democratic paper, in speaking of the result says s " The Whigs have carried both branches of the Leg' islature by handsome majorities, and are, of course , re joicing st their triumph. Their adversaries, it is need less to say, are much disappointed and mortified. The Whigs having thus obtained entire control of the legislature of the State, It is to be hoped that they will use their power judiciously and particularly, that they will direct their whole energies to retrieve the credit of the State. Gov. Pratt has exhibited a laud able desire to promote this most desirable object, by recommending various revenue measures, most of which have been adopted. We know not whether they will be sufficient for the purpose of enabling the State to resume the payment of interest upon its debt t but the deficiency, if any, cancot be great, and will no doubt be provided for by other acts. To econo mize the public expenses, and thus to assist in placing the treasury in s solvent condition, tha legislature at its last session, much to its credit, passed an set to substitute biennial for annual sessions of the legisla ture. The question on the seceptlon or rejection of this act has just been submitted to the people, and the result of the vote upon it is not yet known to us. As it would save at least thirty thousand dollars annually to the State, if it has been rejected it may become necessary to levy additional taxes to that amount, which we hope will be promptly done for the public faith must be maintained, if not by " public economy,' it must be done by public taxation ; which It seems, is the preferable mode to t majority of the ciiizens of Baltimore. We looked to the result of this election as indicative of the feeling of Maryland on the subject of s protec tive tariff, and consider it as emphatically stamping the new tariff act with disapprobation. We have heretofore expressed the opinion, which we now reit erate, that no party which advocates fiee trade princi ples, or ths policy of having " our work-shops in Eu rope," can nialntaln its ascendency in the United States and ws predict, that the new tariff will not be in operation one year before it will be repudiated and denounced by some of its present advocates. The ex periment ofthe compromise act satisfied us, that a scale of duties which would permit European labor to be substituted for American, will not be tolerated by the people of the United States; and that no party discipline can permanently force such s stats of things upon the country. The new tariff has not yet gone Into operation ; and yt-t apprehensions of its effects has greatly influenced the elections which hsve just taken place In this State. Mechanics and laboring men de not like to sanction by their votes, s policy which is to prove ruinous to themselves ; snd hence the marked change In the result of the election In this city from what it baa usually been. We hope that the party in power will act wisely snd discreetly reducing expenses where It can be done with safety to ths public interests, and resorting to all means which rosy be necessary to restore the credit of the State." ANOTHER CANDIDATE. There is a squinting towards another candidate for the Presidency, in the Washington Union. That paper calls for a history of General Kearney, who has lately captured Santa Fe, without firing a gun. The Union says he is rapidly rising to high distinction, and his services already entitle him to the applause and gratitude of his country. Wheth er he is to be considered as a real available, or on ly as a makeshift in certain tfbmingencies it is hard to say. Perbsps he is intended as ths opponent of " Rough and Ready" in case the latter should per mit himself to be held up as a candidate for the Presidency. There must be a distich like the fol lowing : " Kearney is our man per m, " Because he captured Santa Ft." TENURE OF OFFICE. The tenure by which men hold office In these days Is of a very precarious nature, ss character and ability snd falthfulneea hsve nothing to do in the matter. Mr. Collector Morton eipreaeed himself to one of the Inspectors In the following words: " I will not deny myself ths pleasure to express my confidence In your honor, your integrity, yoor moral character, your pat riotism, and your capacity lo perform with correctness snd fidelity any trust' you may seeume." Aod yet this man, with five others, waa turnod out of office, with ths allegation that other persons had bssn ap pointed to them M by the authority of the Secretary tf the Treasury." Even the Polk party In Boston are disgusted at these removals. " THE UPPER TEN THOUSAND."

The Washington Union has copied from a Pennsyl vania paper an account of a Democratic Convention In Wayne county In that State, at which Resolutions in favor of the Tariff of '46 were said to have been passed. A late number oi the Wayne County Herald, contains a communication, aigncd by twenty of the most distinguished and respectable Democrats in the county, which state that no such resolution was pass ed, or even acted upon by ths meeting) they express the opinion thst if a resolution of the character in question had been offered, it would hsve been voted down. The same paper contains a Card, signed by four members of the Convention's Committee on Re solutions, in which It Is declared thst a resolution in favor of the Tariff of 1846 was submitted to the Com mittee and rejtcted, but one vote being given for it I This is the wsy the Polk party get up accounts of ' revolutions" in Pennsylvania, in favor of the Tariff of '46. SUPREMACY OF THE MILITARY. As one of the signs of the times, we notice the su premacy of the military over the civil authorities. An effort was made to arrest Col. Stevenson, of the " Ca llfornians," by civil process, when sn officer ordered a sentinel to shoot the Sheriff if he did not leave the ves sel; which he was compelled to do, without accom plishing his Object. A process against the officer who resisted the Sheriff was evaded, by the departure of those "gallant spirits" for California. Much excite ment prevailed in New York, and a "posse" was about setting forth that would have tested thequslity of Ste venson and his men. It is well, however, that the af fair ended in the way it did. It Is better to let two scamps escape than to sacrifice the lives of good and honest cidzens. Will Polk command Stevenson and his coadjutor to be tried by a court martial for " un gentlemanly and unofficer-like conduct 1" We guess not and if not, we guess the Union snd the Demo cratic editors who follow that Organ, will say all is right A writ of habeas corpus was served on Capt. Swift of the U. S. Topographical Engineers, commanding him to appear and deliver William H. Hull, enlisted in the corps oi Sappers and Miners, by dint of grossly false pretences. The writ was served In the city of New York. The " callant captain" disobeyed it, and took a steamboat down the bay. An attachment was then iaeued, and pursuit was made, but to no purpose, the officer deputed to serve it being forcibly prevented from boarding the vessel in which Capt. Swift was presumed to be. The public will see that the Democ racy ii itill progressive." DOCTRINES OF THE PARTY. A democratic paper, speaking of the affairs between Mr. Walker and Mr. Childress, In which the former gentleman promised the latter an office, on account of his high qualifications for the ssme, and afterwards declined on account of political opinion, says : " In the first place, Childress was a 'Whig, out of office, and had no political right to apply for office under a democratic administration." The doctrine Is thst moral worth and Integrity have nothing to do with of ficial appointments. They rest on political qualifies tlons alone. We do not know the Organ has come out with this doctrine in so many words, but it is the practice of the party in power, and the Portsmouth New Era was warranted n making this avowal. It is written In s spirit of candor, however, quite variant from the fashion of the times. Had a Whig paper come out with the truth bearing on this point, we question if some of Polk's editors would not have pro nounced It a " Whig lie." THE TRUE ISSUE. Whatever may be the mystifications of poBtldana .relative to the opinions of the contending parties, ths true issue Is, the Whigs snd Protection f. Democracy and Free Trade. Ws hear of some who are called "Tariff Democrats." This is all fudge. You might ss well call one a Mahommedan Christian. The name of parties are not the things to be considered, but the principle upon which they set. Every man who desires " free trade" snd votes with ths Whigs, will be disappointed. While every one who Is in fa vor of protection (Incidental or otherwise) snd votes with the Democrats, submits to s hoax with his eyas open. Whatever may hava been the success of impo sition btfort the meeting of the last Congress, there csn be no dispute about the matter tune. Ws trust ths Whigs will slwsys prefer being beaten, under a truthful avowal of their sentiments, to a conquest brought about by the falsehoods and frauds which dis tinguished ths Polk party In the list Presidential cam paign.

M, loth, the balanced reefed mainsail, under which sail the brig was lying too, wss entirely blown away, ths gale in creasing every moment, and the brig lying almost on her beam-ends : cut away the boats to ease her. The Captain then thought best to out away the foretop mast, as the only means of saving the brig. The rig ring was accordingly cut, and a man sent aloft to saw off the mast, but in going aloft, lost the saw overboard,' and wss returning for a hatchet, when the brig was knocked down, the hatches burst off, and the vessel immediately filled with water. 8he must have remained In that situation 15 or 20 minutes, when she wore round, and righted, completely dismasted, with nothing remaining on deck, and a perfect wreck. Capt. Small, nls mate and young son, about 16 years of age, together with two boat steerers, ship keeper snd stew ard were drpwned in the cabin. Mr. Dyer was like wise in the cabin, but succeeded in finding the com pauionway, and getting on deck ; some of the crew were drowned in the forecastle, and Others washed overboard, at the time of ths disaster.
