d cheerfulness, wit, humor, and fun. And who should be cheerful and merry, in this country, except the abolitionists? Eliza Lee Follen. There can be no doubt that the acquisition of Texas hastened the overthrow of the Slave Power, by making it over-confident, by fostering dreams of an indefinite Southern expansion in case of separation from the North, by training the hot youth of the South to arms when Mexico was invaded and reduced—yet training not only Jefferson Davis, Lee, Stonewall Jackson, the two Johnstons, and so many other future chiefs of the Confederate army, but also Grant, Thomas, Meade, Hancock, and their fellow-emancipationists of the Federal army; above all, by enlarging with the national domain the points of contact between free and slave institutions, involving fresh conflicts and compromises—perpetual irritation of the national sore. Thomas Corwin correctly predicted that, in the event of a cession of territory by Mexico to the United States, the question of

labors by the combined influences of interest and revenge. She never forgave the American Revolution. The loss of the most resplendent jewels of her crown was an unpardonable sin. The late war added a fresh flame, which has never yet been extinguished, to her bitter exasperation. The telling blows that Perry, Decatur, Hull, Chauncey, McDonough, and others, delivered, humbled her pride upon her favorite element. She would have forgiven the successes of General Scott in the North, and of Jackson in the South, but her naval disasters were a rankling thorn which the hand of time could neither extract nor soothe.--Up to that period, she had been the acknowledged naval mistress of that element, and it was necessary she should be so to protect the trade by which she lives, and to secure her existence as a first-rate Power. Napoleon once declared that, geographically, England was but a province of the Grand Empire, but between France and England rolled an ocean which even the genius of

Committed to Castle Thunder. --The following parties were committed to Castle Thunder yesterday: F. Genini, conscript; F. Jackson, Twenty fourth Virginia cavalry, and R. F. Hitchcock, member of Gilmour's cavalry, charged with being professional garroters. Upon their persons were found slung-shots, lock picks and various other implements usually in the possession of desperadoes. Samuel W. Bradly, of Henrico county, charged with aiding persons to escape to the Yankees, and James Gillinwater and William Ferris, of company C, Fourth Virginia battalion, and Charles Peycheux, charged with attempting to escape to the Yankees. In the case of Bradly, it is alleged that he agreed to put the three latter across the lines for a stipulated sum, having first received one thousand dollars as a stake. The parties were overhauled by Confederate scouts when within a couple of miles of the enemy's picket lines.
