to President Buchanan's routine nf lift tcei,
ington i :V4.; ;:- ; - - - - .... . . .u.
?m is Sff in the department of decfpUne
and like. Nelson, expected every matobis
duty. He works systemaUcally after his fashion
ten or twelve hours a day, and is by no means
S leased when members of the cabinet are absent
o former Presideut ever explored details inth$
same manner, and this may be one of the reasons
why ho is subjeted to so many small annoyances,
and hears so much personally that had better
come through a preparatory channel. , v - v
"The door of his reception room is thrown open
regularly at one o'clock, except on cabinet days,
then a promiscuous crowd by a sort of convention
al courtesy of precedence, tell their griefs, expand
Upon their services, and submit their applications.
The scene is generally amusing, but some sad epi
sodes of privation and distress often tinge these
unceremonious receptions, at which everybody
walks in unannounced, and waits for his turn as
in the line at a postffieo. No introductions are
required, and no formality is observed, except
when the gentler sex appears, when Mr. Buchan
an rises to offer civility. Otherwise he is seated
with a sort of Dionysius ear to receive every thing
that may be thrown in. Tie is a man of metho
dical habits, of Conestoga constitution, and robust
health He rises early, breakfasts early, reads
the papers, and then sits down to work more
methodically; and laboriously than any one thou
sand dollar clerk in the departments. It is to
be said that he reads every paper connected with
the public business which may be submitted to
his inspection, and very often dissents from, the
reports made by his secretaries, and even the
legal opinions of the Attorney General. His ex
ercise is taken in the eveniner. after whirh h rou
turns to his office or the drawing-room, and either
fulfills private appointments or receives company
until ten o'clock.
General Jail Delivery Yesterday after
noon, says the Charlotte Bulletin of Friday, four
prisoners, one convicted at the last Court (Floyd,)
and under sentence of death, broke jail through
the aid of "Wall, awaiting trial for Larceny and
escaped beyond limits of the city before it was
known that they had broke jail. Pursuit was im
mediately made by the Sheriff and several offi
cers with a number of citizens.
About a mile from town; Floyd was overtaken
by Mr. S. A Harris and Gen. Young, and brought
back to the jail, where he has been safely impris
oned. "Wall, Stockton and a free negro man, (the two
former confined to await their trial jonder the
eharge of larceny, and the latter for a misdemean
or,) are yet at large.
It appears that Wall, succeeded in picking the
lock of his cell, and then liberated his fellow pris
oners, who congregated, in the Debtors room on
the 2d floor, and when the servants had passed
the room to ascend to the 3d story to supply the
prisoners with water, they quietly made their ei-
cape, ; -
As soon as tne alarm was given every ettort
was made to recapture the party, but, as we
have already stated, only Floyd has been re
taken. -
Kossuth on Sympathy. In the speech of Kos
suth, delivered in Glasgow, there occurs the follow
ing: - - ''.''
" I have lived too long and too practical a life,"
said he, " to do vain things. Sympathy what is
that? A sigh that flutters from the lips of a ten
der girl, and dies in the whispers of the breeze.
People in their individual capacity may know of
sympathy, but when a people's aggregate senti
ments become collected in the crucible of policy,
sympathy vanishes in the air. like the diamond
when burnt, and .nothing there remains but an
empty crucible, surroundel with the ashes of gross
egotism. The time has not yet come when na
tions will act from sympathy; That may be done
when the world shall know of one Christian na
tfon on earth. Until now,, I know of Christian
men and women, but I know of no Christian na
tion, because I know of none which, ".in its na-
tional policy, ever has acted uponr the unnstian
command, 4 Do unto others; as thou woildst hare
others do unto thee.' " '-'' .--.V '--
