perfected and augmented their navy. In the year 488, (264 B. C.,) they had scarcely canoes for passing into Sicily, and eight years afterwards we see them under Regulus, conqueror at Ecnona, with three hundred and forty large vessels, carrying each three hundred oarsmen and one hundred and twenty combattants, forming a total of oed of forty thousand men; but the conquerors, having committed the fault of recalling the greater part of those forces to Sicily, the remnant was overwhelmed, and Regulus, made prisoner, became as celebrated by his death as by his famous victory. The great fleet armed for avenging him, and victorious at Clypea, was destroyed on of that place, ruined forever the empire of the Carthagenians in Spain. Finally, he carried the war into Africa with an armament that did not even equal that of Regulus, which did not prevent him from triumphing at Zama, from imposing upon Carthage a shameful peace, and from burning five hundred of its vessels. Later, the brothe

a small caste of the wealthy, educated, refined, and independent, and a vast hungry, sensual, thriftless, and worthless populace; rendered impossible the preservation of republican liberty and of legalized equality, even among the nominally free. Diogenes, with his lantern, might have vainly looked, through many a long day, among the followers of Marius, or Catiline, or Caesar, for a specimen of the poor but virtuous and self-respecting Roman citizen of the days of Cincinnatus, or even of Regulus. The Slavery of antiquity survived the religions, the ideas, the polities, and even the empires, in which it had its origin. It should have been abolished, with gladiatorial combats and other moral abominations, on the accession of Christianity to recognized supremacy over the Roman world; but the simple and sublime doctrine of Jesus and his disciples, of Paul and the Apostles, had ere this been grievously corrupted and perverted. The subtleties of Greek speculation, the pomp and pride

dopted by these men, who are famous at home and even abroad. I have not been so well pleased with the manner of anybody, whose instructions I have heard, as with that of Lacretelle. He has a fine person, a fine voice, excellent command of language, which never permits him to hesitate, and a prompt taste, which never permits him to choose the wrong word. His memory too is remarkable; for, though his department is history, he never uses notes of any kind, and in relating today the story of Regulus, he repeated not less than thirty different numbers. I prefer him to the other lecturers I have heard, because there is more seriousness and dignity in his manner, less attempt at point and effect, and in general a greater desire to instruct than I have yet found,—though still even his manner is not simple enough to produce the just effect of instruction. He is, still, to a certain degree, a Frenchman talking brilliantly. May 18.—This evening, by a lucky accident, I went earlier than u

on in one hundred and sixty-four of our years. --This apparent meeting of bodies forming the extremities of the planetary system, seems at first sight impossible. Not far from the meridian, and near the Hyades, is the planet Uranus, plainly visible to the naked eye, and the next interior to Neptune. Farther eastward of the meridian is the imperial Jupiter, shining with a steady, burning lustre, which rivals in brilliancy even Sirius in the southwest. A line drawn from Jupiter through Regulus, and continued as far eastward, will point at Saturn, always easily recognized by its pale, steady lustre.-- These two great planets will continue to adorn our evening sky for some months to come.--Mars and Venus only are wanting to make this planetary spectacle complete. The splendid constellation Orion, in the meridian, presents sufficient starry attractions for one night; but Procyon and Sirius of the Hyades and Pleiades, will ever be present to divide its glory and share its homage

o send down parties of from 500 to 700 strong to fire on our pickets and to plunder the country. They sent down such a party on the night of the 2d, to burn a house occupied by our "grand guard," but our picket fired into them, killing eight and taking one of them prisoner, and they ran precipitately back.--Small parties come down every day or so, and "take it out" in firing at a distance at our sentinels, and cursing them. The whole command is in good health, and seem to bear their duty cheerfully. I think that this regiment, having endured more hardships than any in the North western Army, should be entitled to be ordered back, and some other regiment which has not endured so much hardship, nor been in as many engagements, ordered to take this position during the winter. We are willing to be ordered to any other line, and if this reward for services rendered is awarded, the men will re-enlist in less than a month after they have been mustered out. More anon. Regulus.

He may demand that every traitor on whom the Government seizes, for punishment, should be allowed to go scot free, or send to a felon's prison and a felon's death other of our Corcorans and our Neffs. Of course there must be some limit fixed by our Government to its acquiescence in such demands. And there must be on the part of our people, a willingness, if need be, to suffer rather than that both the Government and the people should be humiliated by yielding to such atrocious exactions. Regulus advised that Rome should not submit to unworthy terms, and went back willingly to the death that awaited him, on Rome's refusal. The old Roman spirit still lives in our people, to sustain, at any sacrifice, the Government, when it emulates the firmness and dignity of the Roman Senate.
