and Preached.
Miss Maggie McDowell, of Char
lotte, daughter of the late Robt-L
McDowell, Esq., is making a tour of
the old' world, and" the Charlotte
Chronicle publishes a letter from
her written from Berlin. We copy
from it as follows:
After leaving Stockholm we went
to St. Petersburg, Russia, stopping
at the Hotel de France, where only
the clerk, who is called Portier, and
the head; waiter could ' speak a
word of English. We however^ got
» good English-speaking guide, who
conducted, us to all places of inter
est tg strangers, viz: places, church
cs, museumeparkg,’ &e. The' places
and churches are the finest lever
saw, excelling in the solid gold and
silver freseoeing, and work in vari
ous designs, and in pillars of lapsos
lazulai, and malachite- stone and
doors of amber, and shrines and
portraits studded with precious
stones. ;> - - t • ,
i saw beautiful rooms w the
King's Place in Stockholm, and at
the Place Veinna, and at Bresden,
and .Berliu^but I have never seen
anything to oompare'with the mag
nificent splendor of Russia. It re
minds me of the Arabian Nights
3tpries, -v-V •■■■
The handsomest and most costly
chnrch in Russia is the “Church of
our Savior” in Moscow, built of
white marble, ornamented on the
outside with statues of saints in
various attitudes, and groups sculp
tured of marble, while. an immense
dome in the middle, and four small
er domes around it are of solid gold.
The inside of the church is the most.
beautiful’ iniajjjiuable, the'ceiling
frescoed in elaborate designs, and
the walls covered with paintings of
Bible characters and patron saints
set into the .wall, in the midst of the
most beautiful designs made of solid
gold and silverp while the pic
ture of Mary and Jesus, represented
together, are clothed in garments of
gold and silver^, studded’ with- the
most extravagant jewels. . The guide,
told us (as did also other persons in
in Russia) that this' church was
many years in building, and cost
over fifty million-dollars.
One picture there struck me as
very queer. It represented Jesus in
Heaven in a triumphant attitude
presiding over the heavenly hosts.
Another strange conception was the
picture representing Mary dying on
a bed, Joseph leaning over her in sor
row, while her soul wentrin the form
of an infant into the arms of Jesus,
who wasabovo the earth, waiting
receive ijk -~£
There are many other peculiar
ideas of saints expressed in.pain tings.
One strange custom of the Greek
Church is that both men and women
Can go into the main part of the
church, but a door opens into the
churches to the left side below
the altar, where only moa are admit'
tejl. The guide, allowed us ladies to
peep through the door, and we saw
a beautiful altar and paintiug. It is
called the -innermost sancturary.
That church is larger, and having
so much costly workmanship and
solidsilve domes, is the most expen
sivor church in Bussia; but there are
several other churches just as mag
nificent ia style and workmanship as
it; only on asmaller scale. It seem
ed like a sin to put so much money
into Churches while swarms of .beg
gars are dying of squnllor and desti
tution within sight of it. They
crowd the doors of the churches and
beg alms while others enter the
church 'and- kheel crossing thom
selves before the altar and images of
saints, kissing them passioXtely
.and bowing their h%uls till kheii
foreheads strike the flohe haidf fen
hours at a time. ' I have been
some of those poor .creatures'-knock
their foreheads to the floor twenty
and thirty times without stop

Russia is go despotic, the Czar
haring unlimited power, that Mr.
Barrett warned us before entering '
Russia against criticizing the reli
gion or politics, and seemed in*con
tinual fear lest Borne of us would
forget it. OneC I asked the guide j
if the Czar knew the number -of i
persons sent to Siberia iff exile and i
Mr, Birirfeti looked at me in an
alarmed way, shaking Iris* head and i
patting his hand to bis. mouth. J
The guide replied; ' • \
“The Czar knows dverything, and i
when he wishes a man sent home ]
he says‘so be it,’ ajgl the man is i
never heard of again ^ his friends
never know whether hd"?yras killed i
or sent to .Siberia.” ? ||i 'r i
I said once to Mr. Barrett in a \
park, near St. Petersburg, that I :
rould not radefstand hoys men of
intelligence and education would ;
allow an autocrat to rule over them
Mr. Barrett whispered to me: . - j
“There are hundreds of spies in
this park listening, and many a man
and yroman, t«Oj has been sent1 to ■
Siberia for less than you’said.”

world is made there; it is high, but
only half what it is in the 'United i
States. Jtiving is cheaper in Dres
den than any capital in Europe, I '
hear. Livery is much cheaper than -
in the United States, and the horses .
are generally very fine? the most
splendid I ever saw am in Russia. 1
L Catherine II of Russia- is held in 1
great reverence,! mean her : mem

was embalmed and bronze statues
made of them. Her favorite horsfe.
and several Carriages are exhibited, 1
the carriages and sleighs being the
.most magnificent -in costliness and
beauty I ever saw* They remind
me of decriptions pf Cleopatra’s ex
travagance, being carved injthe most
elaborate designs in solid gold and
silver, studded with jewels; even the
wheels are carved, and the doors
pamted by distinguished artists..
The painting On thedoor Cost $55,

Austria almost as Leautifn], which
are used by royalty on public occa
sions, but Russia would! scorn to
have a carriage used by the Czar,
that any one else had used. —r

We reached here yesterday and •
took a ride to the church where
Luther preached, and also went in
house where he threw the inkstand
nt what he supposed to be the devil,
the prints of the inkstand being in
the wall where it cut. The chapel
is more modieru in its style than I
expected to find. One room in if
;has a celebrated painting of histor
ical character, and one room in the
hiuse near the church has a bay
wipdow. These are*situated on a
high elevation, which com mauds a
beautiful view of mountains around
the town. In the heart ofthts town
is the house where Luther lived
with his,wife, one room up_.stairs
having iuit relics to show stran
gers and to sell pictures of him and
his wife his parents and several
ch urch'es in which lie spoke. It is
also t.he house that is written about
in the Sehonberg Cotta family.

JOHN C. CALHOUN, 1
- 3
rhe Man; and h!s Dictrine of Nullifi- j
cation. f
Charlotte Chronicle. ' a
Oliver Dyer was the official re- r
mrter of the United Slates Senate j
n 1845; and recently, he has writ- j
en a book, published by Robert <
Conner’s Sons, entitled,-1'Great Sen?- i
dors of the United States.” In this f
>ook Mr. Dyer gives many new facts •
ind readable stories concerning j
ueh “giants in those days.” as Cal
mun, Benton, Clay, Webster, Qen- j
iral Houston and Jefferson Davis.
The author devotes considerable (
pace to his remeniscences of John
1 Calhoun Mr. Dyer was an Aboili- }
ionist, and when he went tb Wash- J
ngton to accept his position as re
sorter of the Senate, he had / as he
‘rankly confesses, such a hatred of
md violent prejudice -against Mr *
Jalhoun, “a Southern men, who '
lated Abolitionists with equal virn- j
ence, felt" toward William Lloyd 1
laniaon.”” 1
impression ac nrsc maae upou
he young stenographer by the great 1
Southern Senator was even more ex- '
iggerated than we in’ this day of '
nild opinions witb>feuMue<Ltints’L '
>f thoughts, can imagine red; and '
ret Mr, Dyer’s conversation1 to • Cat- '
loan if not to Calhounism, is com
icnsation for bis first violent con* 1
option. lie says:
I was naturally eager to get a sight
>f the great South Carolina nullfier
md disunioAist; and ‘when lie was
jointed out to me, in the Senate'
diamber, I gave him a searching
icrutiny. His appearace satisfied me
;ompletely. He seemed,.to be a,per
fect image and embodiment5 of the
levil. Had I come across his like
less in a’copy of Milton’s Paradise
host, I should at once have accepted
t as a picture of Satan, and as a
masterpiece of some great artist who
bad peculiar genius for Satanic por
traiture. He was tall and gaunt.
His complexion was dark and Indi
an like, and there seemsd.to be an in
ner complexion of a dark soul- -shin
ing through the skin of the face.
His eyes were large, black, piercing,
scintillant. His hair was iron gray
and rising nearly straight from his
scalp, fell over on all sides, and hung
iowri in thick masses like a lion’s
mane. - His features were strongly
marked, and their expression was
firm, stern, aggressive, threatening.
Mr.'Dyer’s frankness in this re
gard is not surpassed by his subse
quent and equally frank confesson
of conversion: The power of Mr.
Calhoun in the forum, his mastery
over men, his greatness as a polem
speaker, his power of sincerity, are
seen lit what Mr. Dyer says after
haying hearth HiegreatSouth Caroli
nian speaker, fie says;
. “I was much impressed by the
clearness of Calhoun s views, by the
bell-like sweetness and resonance of
his voice, the elegance of his de
meanor. Such a combination of At
tractive qualities was a revelation to
me, and 1 spontaheousty wished that
Calhoun was an Abolitionist, so we
could have liim-talking on our side.
. ‘‘At the beginning of the contest
my feelings were against Calhoun
and I wanted him to he worsted;
but at the close, although I was op
posed to-the principle which he ad
vocated, my personal feelings were
inhis favor, and his physiognomy
seemed to have undergone a change,
lusted of looking like a devil, lie im
pressed me os a high toned, elegant
gentleman, with a brilliant intellect,
a sweet-disposition, a suiftid-~lroart,~
nud a coucientions devotion to what
he believed to be right.”
That the author should have come
to esteem Mr. Calhoun personally
highly after such admissions as those
quoted, will not surprise any one;
hut all will ho interested in residing
Mr. Dyqr’B careful summary of the
great Nullifier as he saw him daily
mtheuiost active field of hk great
intellect: *
“He was by odds the most fasci
nating man in private intercourse
that 1 ever met. Hk conversational
powers were marvellous, Ilk voice
was elear, sweet and mellow, with ft
musical, metallic ring in ' it which
gave it strength without diminish
ing its sweetness. His pronuncia
tion and enunciation ,wera perfect.
Hk’manner Was simple and unpre
tending. -44,
“Calhoun's kindness of heart was
inexhaustible. He impressed .mens
being deeply but unobtrusively re
gious, and was so morally clear and
piritually pure that it was a pleos
re to have one’s soul get close to •
is soul—a feeling that 1 never had
or any other man.” He adds: “I
dmired Benton: I admired Clay still
lore; I admired Webster, on the in
sllectual side; most of all,- but I
ived Calhoun ;;and • os 1 came to
n.ow him well, and saw his ox- :
uisitely beautiful nature mirrored
i his face, his countenance no Ion- (
er seemed Satanic,, but angelic, and
is benignant greeting in the mom- '
ag was like a benediction that
isted the whole day.”
Elsewhere in the book, the ant •
hor tells of the blunder he made in 1
sking Hr. Calhoun wliafc he thought 1
f Jackson. For the moment, the '
oung reported had forgotten the
infortunate controversy or difference 1
retween Calhoun and Jackson; but 1
le says that “as soon as the question
ras put Calhoun sank into profound
[uiescence, seemed to be unconscious ,
if my presence, and was apparently
ibsorbed in1 introspective memories,
ioon he looked at me benignantly
md said: “General Jackson was a. -
p-eat man.” The surprisingly beau
if ul expression of Calhoun's lumSn
mseyesand, the sweet, gentle tone
>f his voice, ah he thus answered my
[uestion, are now present with me,
is T write, although thaft anawwr wjy
pven more than forty years ago.”
That the Senator must have pos
essed marvelous magnetism, a mag
letism of purity of purpose, sincer
ty of profession, brilliancy'of con
seption, and greatness of logic, to
lave so won an Abolitionist, as the
luthor says that, he was, will be con'
ieded.
What strikes one most in read
ng these instructive and >entertaiu"
ng reminiscences, is the marked in
lividuality of the men of the era
sompassed by the book. How very
Eew men there are in the Senate of
bis day. who have impressed their
individuality on this generation. In
jails, Sherman, Edmunds, Vest,
Beck, Gorman,'and. Vance^are men
}f mark and character! Seven out
•jf seventy-six! However, the intel
ligence in the United States Senate
to-day is by no means inferior to
that of the days of'the giants.
As tempting aa.it is to . dwell on
the personal characteristics of the
*reat son of the Palmetto State, it is
more profitable to notice, briefly,
what Mr. Dyer says about Calhoun
md nullification. Mr. Dyer points
aut that as a matter of fact, Massa
chusetts and not Sooth Carolina was
,hc State that introduced the. geces
tion heresay; Josiah Quincy hav
ing, in 1811, opposed the admission
af Louisiana (then called the Or
eans Territory) On precisely the
same grounds as were afterwards
taken by Calhoun, On that occa
sion Mr. Quincy said:
“If this hill passes, it is my de
liberate opinion that it is virtually a
lissolutioa of the Union; that it will
free the States from theirmoral ob
ligation, and as it will be the right
af all, so it will be the duty of some,
iefinitely to prepare for a separation,
amicably if they can, violently if
they must.” • ’
Hjjire is si lesson that it will be well
for all the younger men to remem
ber in their study of the history of
the war of secession, and subsequent
history. That this fact, which, of
i-ourse, is known already to many
ulose students of American history,
should bespread broadcast over New
Rnglilnd and the Northwest, would
be but simple justice to the South.
Of course, there is no trftst on. the
fact; but one would think so from
reading the school histories of those
sections. ■■■■■,■■ ...

A Newly Arrived Pore,
itatrHvilSr I.utuftn trl:. '
Col. Julian Allan arrived’ home 1
aet Friday, bringing with him a .
?ole, Stanislaw Karpacki, by' naihe,
who reached Baltimore on an emi**
?rant ship the first of last week.
Itanislaw is of the servile class, *
whose forefathers for generations
were serfs, and h the embodiment' 1
jfhuruilitj and obsequiousness. He ■
fi? younB man of 22, bat has a wife, t
»nd children whom he left behind
when he came to this country. He ^i|f|
is a handy man—a farmer, carpen.-.
ter, hostler, barber and a man of alK
work. He had not been at AllenV :
half an hour before he said he wan
ted to go work, and was put to ’
straightening up the tool room,,
harness room, gear house, &c , and.
ip an hour’s time had the all in per- /
feet order* with everything in its
place. . .
The new arrival cannot speak a
word of English "and brought his
Polish manners with him. At Ital- (
eigh, where Cob Allen stopped with fg
him on his trip from Baltiinore, he' ■;
kissed the hands of gentlemen who ' ’
spoke to him. On the train, Sena
tor Vance engaged in conversation "
with Col. Alien, learned who his
companion was, and spoke to him., . 58?
Col. Allen told,him the'1 gentleman,
was a distinguished man, a. Senator " ’
of the United States upon which /
the poor fellow seized the Senator’s 5
hand and kissed it servilely. Col.
Alien, however, has given him to*
understand that in this country one
man is just as good as another if not
a little better, and is gradually break- .- t
ing him of his oscillatory habit. ; 18;
Stansilaw’s first sight of the black. . -
man was in Baltimore. He watt
walking the street when he saw : 8 8|
two negroes whereupon he crossed
himself and took to his heels. His
impression of this country was de- ‘ '
lightful, and he wrote back from IS
Raleigh to the Priest at Baltimore
this must the next thing to heaven. 8
