SOUTHERN LITERARY MES3EXGER. 1 We have received the above named excellent periodical for January. - published at Richmond, Virg., by. Macfarlane, Ferguson & Co., at $3 a year. John R. Thompson, Editor. A OFFICE SEEKERS. Thfeayor of Boston made a speech on tbe or ganization of tbe government of the city on Mon day last.' He says of applicants for office, "num berless' persona solicit responsible situations to fcike charge of the city'a, property and interests who never took care of their wri." '.... If the mayor complains of this matter, he bas never entered Into its philosophy. Their own property people dispose of and squander aa ca price or whim or habits of idleness prompt but w hen they come to take charge of public treasure and interests, patriotism rises up and takes the; reigns of political government and personal recti tude. The mayor ought to think of this before he makes another speech. . " GOV. CLARK. J Mtbon IL Clabk, who was elected Governor of New York by a plurality of 200 or 800 rotes over Setmoob, in aa aggregate of nearly half a mil lion, one-third of which he received, delivered his message to the Legislature, at Albany, on the 2d last. He proposes to restore the Missouri Com- promise, ss a means of promoting tbe peace cf the country, and. also to protect tbe rights of New York against the further increase of slave repre sentation in either branch "of Congress. These tilings may be well enough to talk about " down east," but the Governor will have to learn that the thing cant be done. It la popular, however, to talk nonsense, and Got. Cj.aa has as good a right to talk it as any one else. DEBATESIN CONGRESS. We join with the Journal of yesterday In re gret that 'delates oa the subject of the AmericanOr- ganization, or Know Nothings is beginntogto consume the time of Congress. A more' useless and foolish thing cannot well be thought of. We hope those who sustain the American cause will keep silent, and let those who oppose it be quiet ed for want of attention. . s This is a political trick. Get kUo debate about this matter, and the whole affair will run Into the rilthy channels which have marked the coa. se of the two defunct parties. No man can do a worse service in the cause than to debate, in its defence, on the floor of Congress. PR0GN0STICAT0R. The Journal prognosticates certain events to follow tbe recent elections in the Northern States, llo says: It has been boasted that the new organization has carried tbe Northern States, and can show its power in the next Honse. Perhaps it baa, and perhaps it can ; at any rate, the Free Sutlers have certainly carried the most of the Northern States' a strange coincident and we suppose the anti Nebraska men will make a dead onslaught oo the Nebraska and Fugitive Slave Law, as well as up on the Naturalization Laws. The Journal is under the impression- that the American Organization will show its power In Congress by adopting freesoil and anti-slavery measures, if ablo to do so. The Journal may rest easy on that account. There will no anti-consti tutional measure be proposed by tbe Know Noth ings, or rather tho American Organization, as Mich , either in Congress or out of it. It is the in tention of tbe patriots who compose this array to keep together in order to preserve tbe Union and defend the eqnal rights of all the "States. They know, both north and aouth, that any invasion of the constitutional rights of tbe South or the North, will blow the whole concern "sky high" almost as high as the Democracy and the Whig gery are the fragments of which are falling around us. A GREAT CHARACTER. Mr. Keirr, of South Carolina, made a speech against M Know-Nothings," in the Honse of Rep resentatives, on the 3d inst. A Washington wri ter in tbe Baltimore Sun thinks that this speech ill have ".graat eSnet ia arresting the progress of Ocsfw party In tbe South." " Sbaekwtgly sol He nasi be a great character, to draw such inferences around him from tbe ad miring correspondent and others. 'We think we Fee tbe gentleman ia an effort of rivalry. While be Is engaged in arresting the progress of tbe American party by his speeches, Mrs. PaaTmcrre is engaged In reducing the bulk of tbe Atlantic with her qnart pot. ,The impression made by the parties will be about equal ; ao they may divide the honors they may reap ia the contest very equslty. After all, It ia comfortable for public charac ters to be distinjuuhed in soma way, though sometimes the Incidents attending distinction are not so very much so. Such was the case with the renowned Knight, Don Qulxotte, when he charged the wind mill, which gave tho horse and the rider a very demonstrative whirl about We like to see riot aad valor, and all that sort of thing, in men appointed to opboM the pillars of the nation, or wher volunteer for that service. We presume Mr. Keitt is in the latter category, and he Is so ranch the more meritorious. Wo will look for the results and report to our readers, if we should happen to think of him and his effort again." 'la the mean time, we hope his oratory, In regard to the victim, will not be like the "whirlwind rushing o'er the sand," or that he will, ia his next speech, scatter tbe M Know-Notn-ings,"and make them whirl about like tho "dust of tbe summer's threshing floor." No he won't ; be ill remember the sympathetic appeal of the poet : . My lore, my dove, my Jewel, " How can you be so cruel t" lie will aot, indeed, be so very1 severe. The potent legislator will do a o more than exclaim and gesticulate after tho fashion of tho man la the play, who said to the ghost : "111 run thee through the bad tho' tipa Mast none." . THE TEXAS INDIANS. -Major Neighbors, Texas Indian agent, reports all tha Indian tribes on the upper Brazos si hold log out friendly overtures, that tbey were ready ta be moved on tbe reservation made at the last session of oar Legislature, that two of the tribes bad-already made a settlement , oq tlo land, and the balana now waiting to be located as soon as tho government Usaed orders to that effect.

The free and universal social communion of yesterday, the beginning of the new year, did much to soothe the stings-of misfortune left by the disastrous year of 1854. This is the great holiday of New York, and is another of the agree able legacies of the old Dutch colonists. On such a day, the city presents a singular appearance. All over the city' coteries and couples of well- dressed (barring the " shanghai" coats) gentle- mca are entering and coming out of houses, whilst not one lady can be found who has the temerity to walk the streets. A stranger to .the city and custom would suppose this part of the globe to be inhabited only by the ruder sex. Upon the ferry boats and in the omnibusses are" seen black coats and black bats only ; not a single pink bon net or white plume ; not & hem of a linen tkirt ; not the semblance ot a well-turned ankle j itot a stray ringlet or coquetish glance; not a gentle step or a low accent is anywhere seen, heard or felt to relieve the measured tread, the harsh cough and gutteral sounds which emanate from man. No ! Patent leather, shining like a iuin-or cloths just from the looms, and collars " all stiff and stark" hair upon the- upper lip, bracks red and flaxen, Are JtlT that csb Ik? seen on New YtNur's tdr New York, unless you enter the fairy pre- cincts where women, and only women, preside- There the scene is gay indeed ; -by-gooes are by gones ; all grievances are forgotten. People who have not spoken even for twelve months,- around this day's fireside bury tbe hatchet, which, after all, perhaps, bad no . edge, and, shaking hands over the new-born year, wUJi each other a retain of many happier ones. : Among tbe other important events incipient witlx the new year, was jthe union, oa yesterday, by Act of Law, of Williamsburg, Bush wick kiwi Brooklyn. This consolidation, under xms charter and one' government, kiclndes more than two h un dred thousand people. (Tbe Herald says 250,000, but, doubtless, those figures are a little too fust.) Tho territory included itt the new city measures twenty-twj square, miles. Its greatest width at Foltoa ferry is five- niih, wTiilat its water- line is upwards of seven miles. But notwithstanding its gigantic proportions, its quarter of a million of inhabitants, as it is said, it is comparatively isola ted And without reputation abroad, except aa a city of churches. It has the misfortune to lie in tbe shadow of New York,- Its only back country is tbe tea, and that never was faniotfs for corn ' and potatoes so, of coarser-having nothing to supply with goods which can supply it with food. it exists as a satellite of New York with this dif ference, however, that were New York sunk to morrow, Brooklyn, would, iu a few months, bet come the first city in the TJnfon. As it is, there b no rivalry whatever; oar neighbor naturally, and I may say grace fu fly, falls into her position, as the grand dormitory of Gotham, and appears to nave no ether ambition than to become the giant suburb to that of which it -might bo a worthy competitor. It is a, port of" entry, yet I hardly know if there is a Custom-House office in the place ; and who ever heard of a ship bailing from Brooklyn 1 Though containing so many in habitants, there is not a single Theatre there, and thus far all attempts to have concerts aad lectures have proved failures. Even parties, though beau tlfttl women arc abundant, do not go off with that eclat which distinguishes- similar assemblies in New York. We shall see if the anion which has just taken place produces any change in any of these particulars. . ; ; Tbe Atlantic, whose arrival was looked for fast week, ' was detained two days by some slight damage to tbe rudder, u Licit, however, induced a considerable rer)arr. She brings no news of importance concerning the aar'ordiplomacy of Europe, only that, so far, Russia seems to be ahead that the treaty with Austria by the Allies is, or may become, of no use to them that tbe prospects of peace are rather" lessened than in creased. "Such are the signs of the , times and 8armises, as they are viewed and altered here in New York ; and since there are few items of news, and in all the important ones the eorrcuporwluct is headed off by the telegraph, what people say and what people think and wbat should be inferred is all that is left to communicate. Extraordinary distress prevails in the city", by reason of the loss of employment to thousands of dependent workmen, and great efforts are being made to relieve their distress. Eighteen months since, everybody struck for higher wages The result bas been that the employe! has now "struck off all the wagp-s, and hasty gains have proved absorption. It was like tho woman who had a golden egg laid fr her each day, but, being bent upon sudden riches, slew the hen, in the hope of finding a large mass of the precious metal, and when the deed was doue found nothing, and henceforward became destitute of all. The distress Which attends the poor has been heightened by the extreme cold,-which has lasted here now for some several days, which, in addi tion to tbe high price of coal, has added materi ally to the pangs of hunger, and caused many an aching heart. The distresses in this land, cele-, b rated for its abundance, strike us with .much more pain, as well aaaurprise, than tbe-same mis fortune would in Europe. - .

The siege war practically suspended; their batteries used up and the army, exhausted,' bnt qjiite.able1 to hold its position and cbnstise assailants. A desperate affair occurred between tho CUa seurs de Vincennes -and the Russian ' riflemen, which lasted seven hours,' on the nigbtof toe 22d.

OENEEAt, rROSPEBCTS OF TnS SIEGE. The Russian defensive works on the- south of Subastopol are estimated at one hundred guns stronger than when the siege began. On the oth er hand the British have erected a veyy powerful new battery, not yet opened, on an' eminence north of tho valley of Inkermann, commanding every boose in Sebastopol, besides being anotlver step towards the complete investnre of the place.
