But, alas! this friendship rested not quietly, and that darkened niche foand me • mourner there. Sometimes in the gay throng, when I thought all had oeased, came the tear, unbidden ; or in the silent night out of a troubled dream camo the specter. Thus will the ghosts of dead friendship sometimes haunt us,rising from their graves. How many graves here! This beautiful earth, its fairest valley, its greenest hill top is a grave. The moat sunny heart hath some graves. Bless God! the time hastens when we shall with happier tread walk the land where is no grave—where is eternal life and never-ending day. 2' , and if poMtbfemke it more galling to s (lave, and more disgusting to the til* of mankind, from year to year, verifying the proverb, "They whom God means to deatroy he first makes mad," rendering it ■ot improbable, that, if left to themselves, ' a Midden and bloody revolution may overtake them, when totally unprepared, and so pat an end to a system of iniquity, in regard to which that great-hearted man of God, John Wesley, wno resided a number of years among them, and knew the system thoroughly, deliberately gave as his opinion and as bis testimony sgainst it that " it was the sum of all villainies." Let those who claim Bible authority for modern slavery take a nearer view of it, and in the light of the before mentioned characteristic features of it, try whether they can trace any familiar resemblance between the two systems, and if they cannot they must in common honesty drop Bible authority, and justify or condemn this peculiar institution on its own merits. The irrepressible conflict is upon us, and it is right that every intelligent person should be posted up on the question, so a » to be able to take part in this great mental and moral oombat. J«et every one plead the cause of the abused and besotted African, and try to devise and advocate some wise and proper remedy whereby the galling chain may be knocked off from the captive, so that the oppressed may go free. Let us avoid all unprincipled and deceitful compromises, which would only slightly cover up this fostering sore, which has afflicted the nation ever since the promulgation of the Declaration of Independence, only to reappear in a few years in a more aggravated form than ever before but let every lover of the Union, and of the future peace, welfare and prosperity of' this great nation, countenance only suoh measures aa will look to the immediate, or C gradual extinction, root and branch, oi this troublesome, inhumane, and unchristian institution.

Jacob Thompson, late peeNtary M the Interior, in wnich the following language occurs : "As I was writing my resignation, I sent i dispatch to Jndgo Longstreet that tho Star of the West was coming with re-enforcements. The troops were put on their guard, and when tho Star of the Wast arrived she received a warm welcome from booming cannon, and soon beat a retreat. [ was rejoiced the vessel waa not sank, bat [ was still more rejoiced that the concealed trick, first conceived by General Scott, and idopted by Secretary Holt, bat countermanded bv the President when too late, proved a failure." jt We have here a distinot and exultant avowal, on the part of the Hon. Secratary that, while yet a member of the Cabinet, he disclosed to those in open rebellion against the United States information that he had derived from his official poaition, and which he held under the seals of a confidence that, from the beginning of our history as a nation, had never been violated. This step not merely endangered the highest publio interests, but put in imminent jeopardy the lives of two hundred and fifty innocent men, who had never wronged the Hon. Secretary, and who, in proceeding to Charleston harbor, were simplyobeying the lawful command of their superior officers. The armed enemies of the government he was serving, under the solemn sanotion of an oath, were, as he declares, "thus put upon their guard," and the frail vessel that was bearing succor to its frinds, "received a warm welcome from booming cannon." It could not be less than offensive to the heart and to the intelligence of tho American people to comment gravely on this humiliating transaction. Its true character has already been determined by the publio voice, ana that voice will doubtless find its echo in the judgment of history. - The reference in the congli)(j[iqg t£atenoe of the paragraph is not tfo which hubLbC;t'ii 'fat Brooklyn Ptt» to-tfrat wflfiek waa attaifOad—— bv the Star of the West ThisTs denounced as "a concealed trick, first conceived by Gen. Scott, and adopted"—of course with a knowledge of its character—" by Secretary Holt;' and the impression left upon the mind of the reader is that, as aoon as the President beoame aware of the "(rick" it was countermanded by him, but too late. If it was not designed to make this impression, then the animadversion of the Hon. Secretary would lose most, if not all its point, as it was his evident purpose to sharpen his censure of Qen. Scott and myself by leaving it to be inferred that our actiou had been without the sanotion of the President. As the effort to reinforce Fort Sumter was the most responsible act of the War Department during my brief connection with its administration, it is due alike to the publio and to my own. reputation that the calumnious imputation cast upon it by the paragraph quoted should be promptly met and refuted.— That refutation will be furnished by the following correspondence: Washington, January 8, 1861. Sia : It ia with extreme regret I hard just learned that additional troops bare been ordered to Charleston. This subject has been frequently discussed in Cabinet Counoil, and when, on Monday night, 81st of December ultimo, the orders for reinforcements to Fort Sumter were oonntermanded, I distinctly understood from yon that no order of the kind would be made withont being previously considered and deaided in Cabinet It is true that on Wednesday, January 2d, this subject waa again disoussed in Cabinet; but oertainly no conclusion was reached, and the War Department was not justified in ordering reinforcements without something more than was then said. I learn, however, this morning, for the first time, that the steamer Star of the West sailed from New York last Saturday night, with two hundred and fifty men, under Lieutenant Bartlett, bound for Fort Sumter. Under these cireumptur.ees, I feel myself bound to resign my commission as one of your constitutional advisers into your hands. With high respect, your obedient servant, J. Thompson.

[For the Pltteton (Hiette.] To the Editor of the Pitttton Gazette: Sis, In a late issue of yonr excellent paper I notice what I consider a very judicious and logically reasoned article, by your correspondent, " Miner," on Bible authority for modern slavery, being a dispassionate oppeal to those who apologize for negro slavery in the South, on the one view of the question, namely : what class of men, by Bible authority, have the divine right to enslave their fellow men, and what class, by the same authority, ought in duty to God and man to submit to be enslaved. Now, to my mina, it seems as if it would be a lone time before this question can be clearly settled from tho Jewish Scriptures to the satisfaction of hamane, justice-loving, and liberty-loving men; and, in the meantime, I would suggest another difficulty whioh ought to be removed before much stress can be placed on the Bible precedent, for our modern system of negro slavery, and which is this, via: that the two systems should be proved to be alike, or nearly ao, or in other words,, that it behoves those, who think to benefit by this argument, to prove that the institution in Patriarchal times, and under the law of Moses, was similar in its leading features to those of slavery in the Southern States. If they cannot do this, then the Bible precedent for modern slavery will fall to the ground, aa it does not require to be explained, that • precedent for any thing means that the principle or institution that went before is to be reproduced siflSstantlattynfterthe same pattern, fn the writings of Moses there is Utile direct information on the system of servitude then in use, and what is said, would seem to conclusion, that as Moses found slavery and polygamy to exist before his time, what rules he instituted in regard to them was in the way of modifying and meliorating these systems. I think this will be evident to any person who will read the first eleven verses of the twenty-first chapter of Exodus. It is further evident from our Saviour's remarks annexed to the " golden rule." "Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to them," and he adds, " for this is the law and the prophets."— If this best of all rules, announced by the highest of all teachers, is the spirit of the law, may we not logically concludo, that the Patriarchal and Mosaic system was a humane and generous one ? Let us now take a slight glance at the leading features of modern slavery, as it exists at the South and in behalf of which a comparatively small junto of slaveholding oligarchs is moving heaven and earth to nave perpetuated and extended. 1st. The negroes are held to be, not persons, but only pieces of chattel property, like cattle, sheep, or swine, and consequently have no rights, or next to none, in uie eye of the law. 2d. They are denied all education and kept in the blackest ignorance, in direct hostility to the united voice of Christianity and civilization, which have prompted and oompelled every Christian government in the world to institute a system of education for their working classes. 8d. They are driven at their work under the lash and are at all times liable to be beaten unmercifully, and even murdered with impunity, by unprincipled owners or drivers, and in the presenoe of any number of negro witnesses, as no slave can give evidenoe against a white person, in a court of law.

But saddest of the graves over which we weep are those where the mold is gathered high over dead 1 had a little friend, a childish heart, whose life was all affection, and I gained in tbit heart one of the dearest places— the very deepest, she contended. We were so happy together, and I trusted in her love and leaned on it as on a shield and staff. Her presence was sunlight, and her simple-hearted letters breathing afiaction and cheer were a joy to me, and lighted up my lonesome way. Daily I breathed blessings upon her, and prayed Heaven to care for her. How her love cheered me ! I had found one true heart, one to whom I could let all my heart go unrestrained. But to this beautiful friendship came a dark and dreary night, and I sank in the darkness and alone, weeping; then arose and ran out in the storm and darkness.— Heedless of the driving wind and rain and my tared head, I wandered on not knowing how until I returned. And after the night hours had wasted into dawn and the day had waned into night again, I buried this beautiful friendship, alone and tearful. This friendship which I had so loved and whioh I thought could not die. I had clasped it in my arms and led it with my hand and fondly thought that death sho'd never part us; that even through the pearly gates of the better land it should aocompany me. But, now, above the cold form heaped high is the earth-mold, and I mourn not its death; the dear old memories bring a pang, and I would cover them all and forget, but a remembered tone, a spoken word, some snatch of song, brings the mournful thought of what has been. And I mourn that no longer have I this support—no longer to give the tender thoughts, and kind words, and earnest prayers, which each day went out from my heart to this C*« ir friendship. I am lone and dreary. I tried to call it to life ere I buried it. I called it by the old pet names and clasped lovingly, but, cold and stiff, it gave no answering throb, and I hid it from my sight forever. In another darkened oorner buried I another friendship. Even as the other had •it grown—a feeble little thing at first, until year by year it had grown beautiful and strong. Unawares it had been jov and life to me, and I walked thr earth with an elastic step and a heart full of thankfulness. So the days went by, the sky serene and earth full of beauty, and as I journeyed on I blessed the AH Father each morn, when the mist-crowns wreathed the hills, and in the later sunlight, when plain, hill and river rejoiced in the full noontide, and as the soft twilight gathered over the earth I lay down to happy dreams. But a little cloud, " no bigger than a man's hand," oame in the sky and darkened until all the darkness covered me close in its folds. Then learned I that to the fifts and not to the Giver had gone my eart, and thus had come the punishment. And in the daiknese I gathered it to my heart, but wept not. With no weakness or faltering, saia I, I will bury this, my idolatry j and with no tear, no quivering of muscle or ohord, I laid it in the grave. Weeks merged into months, until the leaves gathered into drifting piles by the wintry winds, ere I heaped high the fresh earth; then, lingering a time, I came away with firm step and dry eye, and I said : I have conquered and feel no weakness.— There will grow over it new germs, and I * will gather trailing vines and cover all remembrance of these. It will be easy, for I an so Arm and strong. CI. BECK. M. D.—DENTIST. . late of PHILADELPHIA.— mjlHL OSes,—Main 8L, above the Public  Square, East 8iClc, Tt-nna. July l», 1M#.—1 y.

The following account of a tiger chase is taken fVom the North Lincoln. Sphynx, a regimental paper, published at Graham's Town, Cape of Good Hope. The writer, after alluding to his sporting experiences of all kinds, and in all quarters of the globe, declares that he never witnessed so novel or intensely exciting a chase as that about to be described : " Not long ago, I spent a few days at Fort Brown, a small military post on the banks of the Great Fish River, where my friend W. was stationed. One evening, as my friend and I were returning home after a somewhat fatiguing day's buck-shooting, we were startled by hearing the most extraordinary noises not far from us. It seemed as if all the demons in the infernal regions had been unchained, and were amusing themselves by trying to frighten us poor mortals by tbeir'horrid yelling.— We stood in breathless expectation, not knowing what could possibly be the oause of this diabolical row, with all sorts of strange conjectures flashing across our minds. Nearer and nearer the yelling and screaming approached, and presently the cause beoame visible to our astonished eyes. Some three or four hundred yards to our right upon the brow of a small hill, a spotted leopard (eommonly called a tiger in this country, though much smaller than the lord of the Indian jungles,) came in view, bounding along with all the speed and energy of despair, while elose behind him followed an enormous pack of baboons, from whose throats proceeded the demoniacal sounds that had a few seconds before so startled us. Our excitement in the  as you may suppose, was intense. On went the tiger, making for the river, the baboons following like avenging demons, and evidently gaining ground upon their nearly exhausted foe, though their exultant yells seemed each moment to inorease his terror and speed. They reached the stream, the tiger still a few yards in advance, and with a tremendous bound he oast himself into its muddy waters and made for the opposite bank. The next moment his pursuers, in admirable confusion, were struggling after him, and as the tiger, now fearfully exhausted, clambered on the land again, the largest and strongest of the baboons were close at his heels, though many of them, the old, tho very young and the weakly were still struggling in the water. In a few moments allhad passed from our sighl beyond the brow of the opposite bank; but their increased yelling, now stationary be hind the hill, told ua that the tiger hat met his doom, and that the strong arms anc jaws of the baboons were tearing hun limt from limb. As the evening wasTar ad vanced, and we were still some mile* fron home, We did not cross the river to witnesi he death : bat next morning a few bone* —fi,„menU of flesh -1 sir HOPPOCK, GARBUTT & CO., Grocers and Comniifsiwn Merchants, WITH T-VR.
