The complete details of the transaction, though now in our ion, we reserve for future exposition, when the public will admit that the proLey is altogetber without a parallel, in so far as it exhibits the Attorney General of the United States negotiating and attesting the sale of a newspaper, for a cousideration to be paid, not by the individual purcheser, but with the funds of government, distributed in the shape of Executive patronage. This, and other equally extraordinary incidents in the affair, we promise to develope in due season, For the nt we have merely to advert to the change in the ietorship of the Union, in explanation of article which appears in its issue of this morning. Heretofore that paper bas affected a lofty ignorance of the existance of the States; but its policy is revereed, and from an imperturbable silence, it rushes at once to the extreme of fidgety and garrulous comment. We salute our adversary with unfeigned satisfaction, We bave often endeavored to provoke him to combat; and since he agrees to enter the lists, we beg to assure him he shall be accommodated to the extent of his appetite for fight, rdinarily, we have no concern with the paternity of articles in the columns of our cotemporaries. Lest, howover, we inadvertantly offer indignity to the ‘trae prince,”’ whom we do not pretend to recognize by “instinct,” we are obliged to regard the possibility that the article ip the Union of this morning is the production of a “very exulted personage.’’ We have the assurance of the best authority that the late editors of that journal have indignantly repudiated the responsibility of its control, in consequence of its indecent transfer to its present proprietor, The article, then, is not their performance. Nor was it penned by Brigadier General George Washington Bowman; for, whatever its defects, it is written with gramatical propriety—an achievment of which that illustrious warriar is wholly incapable, as we happen to know from a painful correction of manuscript with which he bas occasionally illuminated our columns, Under these ciroumstances, we are driven to the couvelusion that the article in the Union is an emination of the Executive mansion; and, as such we propose to review it with all possible indulgence. The candid reader will attribute the clemency of our criticism to an unaffected reverence for the character of the Presideut.”’ Goop Joke oN Toomes.—A correspondent of one of the New York papers says that Senator Toombs made a speech last summer, to a large crowd of his constituents, which he wound off in the following ridiculously boastful style : “Now, fellow citizens, 1 bave responded to your call. I have fully and clearly explained to you my opinions on this subject, and if there is a man in this vast aseembly who disputes my conclusions or denies my premises, I should like to see him. Let him rise up and object to anything I have said ifhe can! I defy opposition! I challenge debate!” Having thus challenged the whole world and the rest of mankind to a forensic encunater, he took bis seat with an air of triampb that Napoleon never manifested, and probably never felt. He was for a moment loudly applauded, but as the applaus died away, a rough looking countryman full six feet high, in his shirt sleeves, in the outskirts of the crowd, stretched himself at full length and said: ‘Colouel Toombs—I am no orator, and I'm uot gwine to try to make a speech agin a great man like you. You remind me of a young mnule T was tryiu’ to break set . mornin, It was a long time before we could git him out’n the stable. Just like it was a long time before we could git you to speak. After working witb him an hour or two we slipped a rope around hie neck, and after a while another one, and I put two nigger fellows to hold the ropes, and I opened the stable door, and out be comes a raring and pitching, He rared and pitebed, and squealed and tore around with the niggere a bold of him for a while. Presently be began to kick and to squeal, and he kicked and he squealed, and he squealed and he kicked, until everything was blue ; and his eyes looked like they’d pop out, and to save my life Colonel, I couldn’t tell whether he was kicking at his squeales or ling at his kicks! Your speech, Colonel, remitds me of that mule!’ TovcuinG Incipent.—A Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, writing on 6th of April, in relation to the Sickles trial, relates the following incident : An interesting incident occurred in court yesterday. One of the talesmen manifested a strong prejudice against Mr. Sickles, and after retiring from the stand he came accidentally round to the place where Mr. Bagioli was sitsitting. Yielding to his impulses, he got up avd thus addressed the talesman— “I heard you just now,’ he eaid, ‘aay something barsh of the prisoner ; but let me ask ren if you had lost your wife, or had your daughter sacrificed, would you have been able to control your feelings and be governed by your reason?”’ “J don’t know,” said the man; ‘‘but who is asking me this question ?" “JT am the father of Mrs. Sickles,” replied the unfortunate parent, whose voice was choked with emotion. The talesman was much affected by this unexpected appeal, which brought the case more vividly home to him than ever before, and he expressed bis sorrow at what he had said, whilst admitting that with the same provocation he might have done likewise. This touching scene was only observed by the person who relates it. Correct Spreaxinc.—We advise all young people to acquire in early life the habit of using good language, both in speaking and writing, and to abandon, as early on possible, ony use of slang words and phrases. The longer they live the more difficult the acquisition of such language will be: and if the golden age of youth the proper season for the acquisition of languaage be passed in ite abuse, the unfortunate victim of neglected education is very probably doomed to talk slang for life. Money is not necessary to procure this education. Every man has it in his power. He has merely to use the language which he hears; to form his taste from the best speakers and poets of the country; to treasure up choice phrases in his memory, and to habituate to their use ; avoiding, at the same time, that pedantic precision, which shows rather the weakness of vain ambition than the polish of an educated mind. Tue New Orleans Delta mentions, under the head of ‘Rich Freight,’ the arrivel of a steamboat from Red River with a number of passengers—among them eight widows, whose aggrewealth amounted te some $5,000,000. One of the ladies is the owner of 600 slaves, and the others made 30,000 bales of cotton. Onxcox.—Gov. Whitesker bas issued a call for an extra session of the State Legislature, to convene on the 10th of May. The Washington States, in referring to the! There are some men Who Cannot adept old pe A “Give me back my youth 1” was the despairing cry of Peter Pindar. Old Ponce de Leon wore out his life in seeking for the fabled fountain of youth in the wilds of a ke Syn re het old toiled boo aloue after ret of gold, but of perpetual youth; aod Paracelsus pretended that he had found the water of immortality, though his followers were undeceived by his death. ose waters of immortality are vy reached through the portals of the grave. Why cannot we learn to accept the inevitable winter of life, after its blossoms, its fruit-time and its harvests? Yet we see veterans tottering on the verge of the i pee ed sae best ts to eed seeking to ape the appearance, dress and manners of, youth, Those who bave faltilled their mission are unwilling to retire from the s and leave younger actors to assume their ace There are never wanting dupes for the charlatans who profess to have the power of anaulling the course of nature, liostro, that arch-imposter, coined money out of ninnies; and how we see it stated that a reall great man is not above such + Speen wn It apars that Bulwer, the English author, is chershing the delusions of Ponce de Leon as to the renewal of youth. The Boston correspondent of the Springfield (Mass.) Republican vouches for the following interesting personal statement : Bulwer lately sent for Hume, the great medium, and talked with him, and the whole drift of his inquiries was to see if there conld be no possible way devised in which he could renew and rejuvenate himself, his feelings and his powers into their early vigor. We can scarcely credit the statement that Bulwer is chasing such a shadow. Youth, vigor—they are goue from him forever. No power can renew the genes of the golden age that has ed from his grasp. He must be content to take his place with the seniors, and solace himself with the pleasures and pursuits of that old age which is now deepening about him. ALExanpeR H, Steruens, or G@eorgia.—John Mitchell, in a letter to a friend in Ireland, published in the Southern Citizen, thus describes Mr. Stephens, of Georgia : At Crawfordaville, a village on one of the piny ridges ot Georgia, in an unpretending and sowewbat desolate looking house (desolatelooking it may well be, for no fair and kindly house mother ever made it shine and smile) dwells one of the choicest and rarest spirits of our hemisphere. Youthful and almost boyishlooking, yet stricken by mortal malady—one who has made a “covenant with death,’’ yet whose veins are full of the most genial life; With the cold hand clutching at bis vitals yet with a laugh clear and ringing as the marriage bell: his thin face is of deathly hue, yet the dark eyes are blazing lamps. If you are his friend, he is gentle and affectionate as a girl— if hisenemy, be will have great pleasure in standing opposite to you, at any distance that may be arranged—io which case you bad better look sharp, for he is cool as an oyster :—a student aud true philosopher, a laborious and eonscientious legislator, a powerful lawyer, and a zealous cultivator of grapes (Catawba and Scuppernong) for he has faith in the virtues of wine;—a generous triend and patron of hamble merit-—for the which many prayers and blessings arise every evening on his bebajf—a noble imaginative orator—yet not of the Charles Phillips school of “Irish oratory” by any means, his taste being too highly educated for that species of rigmarole-—such is Alexander H, Stephens, He is named amongst Presidential candidates; and, therefore, I include him in my list; but indeed I do not believe he dreams that he can possibly be President. or imagines that be could perform and endure the mere official duties—to say nothing of the tremendous moral responsibilities, the first evening’s shaking of bands ata Presidential reception would put him to death, and bring in the Vice President, But he is named as a represevtative Southern man, likely to be available as a candidate, by reason of the universal respect entertained for him North and South; and, therefore, I put bim ou my list. Isptan Graves Discovzrep.—A Mr. Colvin, residing near Monongahela city, recently discovered a number of Iodian graves, while plowing in one of his fields, bordering on Pigeon creek, The graves were covered with flat stones, a short distance beneath the surface, Several of them have been opened, and the bones exhumed. A thigh bone bas been examined and pronounced to have belonged to a human being, at least eight feetin height. Implements of war, pieces of crockery ware, &., supposed to have been used by the aborigines, were also found with the remains.—Pittsburg Chronicle, Tue Bisex i ScHoots.—In the town of Cromwell, Conn,, the Catholic residents lately requested, that, inasmuch as the Protestant version of the Bible was read in the pablic schools there, the Catholic version might also be ured. The School Committee gave consent, and both versions were accordingly read. Incensed at this, certain individuals repaired in the night to the houses of the Committee and daubed their doors with lampblack and oil, marking them with crosses, &c., which outrage has created a strong reaction of publie opinion in favor of the Committee and the course adopted by them. Suockina Arrain.—A most distressing casualty occurred recently, in Forsyth county, Georgia. Ellis Waldrup and his wife, about nine o’clock at night left their four children, two girls and two boys, the eldest twelve years old, and walked to a neighbor’s house, a quarter Of a mile off, to see a sick person. They left their children all asleep, On returning home they discovered their house in flames, and were not able to reach the scene of the awful calamity until after the building had fallen in. The children all perished in the flames. Deatu rrom Grier.—An English newspaper gives an account of the death of a father from grief. His boy, aged eight years, was accused on a charge of stealing a sovereign. Bail was refused aod the Jad sent to prison. The father, on parting with his child, took the matter so deeply to heart that he went home and never again looked up. A deep-seated melancholy took possession of him; he was obliged to eek work, and on the day his little boy was tried, the father breathed his last, The surgeon that attended him says he died of a broken heart. The boy was discharged. Sriwe1.e8s Bexs,—They are about introdacing into the Atlantic States a species of the boney bee which is devoid of that disagreeable apard of the old-fashioned kind—a stinger. e new variety abound in South America, and said to produce au excellent article of oney. Iy South Carolina, the slave population is three hundred and eighty-three thousand, The white population two hundred and eighty-three thousand. The increase of population among the Hecke is three times as great as it is among the whites, Tse Hou. J. M. Sandidge, of Louisiana, declines a re-election to Congress. Y . the foot, Senator Broperick.—A correspondent of the New Orleans Oréscent, who bad traveled in company with Senator Broderick froin New Orléans to Tehauntepec, writing from the latter place, says: Senator Broderick is a remarkable and his words must alwa’ fry Weight. ‘The ple of the Atlantic States wat know bim belt than they do at present before his career ex in 1864. In conversation with him he came out with bis political views very plain and concise.

This, and other equally extraordinary incidents in the affair, we promise to develope in due season, For the nt we have merely to advert to the change in the ietorship of the Union, in explanation of article which appears in its issue of this morning. Heretofore that paper bas affected a lofty ignorance of the existance of the States; but its policy is revereed, and from an imperturbable silence, it rushes at once to the extreme of fidgety and garrulous comment. We salute our adversary with unfeigned satisfaction, We bave often endeavored to provoke him to combat; and since he agrees to enter the lists, we beg to assure him he shall be accommodated to the extent of his appetite for fight, rdinarily, we have no concern with the paternity of articles in the columns of our cotemporaries. Lest, howover, we inadvertantly offer indignity to the ‘trae prince,”’ whom we do not pretend to recognize by “instinct,” we are obliged to regard the possibility that the article ip the Union of this morning is the production of a “very exulted personage.’’ We have the assurance of the best authority that the late editors of that journal have indignantly repudiated the responsibility of its control, in consequence of its indecent transfer to its present proprietor, The article, then, is not their performance. Nor was it penned by Brigadier General George Washington Bowman; for, whatever its defects, it is written with gramatical propriety—an achievment of which that illustrious warriar is wholly incapable, as we happen to know from a painful correction of manuscript with which he bas occasionally illuminated our columns, Under these ciroumstances, we are driven to the couvelusion that the article in the Union is an emination of the Executive mansion; and, as such we propose to review it with all possible indulgence. The candid reader will attribute the clemency of our criticism to an unaffected reverence for the character of the Presideut.”’ Goop Joke oN Toomes.—A correspondent of one of the New York papers says that Senator Toombs made a speech last summer, to a large crowd of his constituents, which he wound off in the following ridiculously boastful style : “Now, fellow citizens, 1 bave responded to your call. I have fully and clearly explained to you my opinions on this subject, and if there is a man in this vast aseembly who disputes my conclusions or denies my premises, I should like to see him. Let him rise up and object to anything I have said ifhe can! I defy opposition! I challenge debate!” Having thus challenged the whole world and the rest of mankind to a forensic encunater, he took bis seat with an air of triampb that Napoleon never manifested, and probably never felt. He was for a moment loudly applauded, but as the applaus died away, a rough looking countryman full six feet high, in his shirt sleeves, in the outskirts of the crowd, stretched himself at full length and said: ‘Colouel Toombs—I am no orator, and I'm uot gwine to try to make a speech agin a great man like you. You remind me of a young mnule T was tryiu’ to break set . mornin, It was a long time before we could git him out’n the stable. Just like it was a long time before we could git you to speak.

Presently be began to kick and to squeal, and he kicked and he squealed, and he squealed and he kicked, until everything was blue ; and his eyes looked like they’d pop out, and to save my life Colonel, I couldn’t tell whether he was kicking at his squeales or ling at his kicks! Your speech, Colonel, remitds me of that mule!’ TovcuinG Incipent.—A Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, writing on 6th of April, in relation to the Sickles trial, relates the following incident : An interesting incident occurred in court yesterday. One of the talesmen manifested a strong prejudice against Mr. Sickles, and after retiring from the stand he came accidentally round to the place where Mr. Bagioli was sitsitting. Yielding to his impulses, he got up avd thus addressed the talesman— “I heard you just now,’ he eaid, ‘aay something barsh of the prisoner ; but let me ask ren if you had lost your wife, or had your daughter sacrificed, would you have been able to control your feelings and be governed by your reason?”’ “J don’t know,” said the man; ‘‘but who is asking me this question ?" “JT am the father of Mrs. Sickles,” replied the unfortunate parent, whose voice was choked with emotion. The talesman was much affected by this unexpected appeal, which brought the case more vividly home to him than ever before, and he expressed bis sorrow at what he had said, whilst admitting that with the same provocation he might have done likewise. This touching scene was only observed by the person who relates it. Correct Spreaxinc.—We advise all young people to acquire in early life the habit of using good language, both in speaking and writing, and to abandon, as early on possible, ony use of slang words and phrases. The longer they live the more difficult the acquisition of such language will be: and if the golden age of youth the proper season for the acquisition of languaage be passed in ite abuse, the unfortunate victim of neglected education is very probably doomed to talk slang for life. Money is not necessary to procure this education. Every man has it in his power. He has merely to use the language which he hears; to form his taste from the best speakers and poets of the country; to treasure up choice phrases in his memory, and to habituate to their use ; avoiding, at the same time, that pedantic precision, which shows rather the weakness of vain ambition than the polish of an educated mind. Tue New Orleans Delta mentions, under the head of ‘Rich Freight,’ the arrivel of a steamboat from Red River with a number of passengers—among them eight widows, whose aggrewealth amounted te some $5,000,000. One of the ladies is the owner of 600 slaves, and the others made 30,000 bales of cotton. Onxcox.—Gov.

The Boston correspondent of the Springfield (Mass.) Republican vouches for the following interesting personal statement : Bulwer lately sent for Hume, the great medium, and talked with him, and the whole drift of his inquiries was to see if there conld be no possible way devised in which he could renew and rejuvenate himself, his feelings and his powers into their early vigor. We can scarcely credit the statement that Bulwer is chasing such a shadow. Youth, vigor—they are goue from him forever. No power can renew the genes of the golden age that has ed from his grasp. He must be content to take his place with the seniors, and solace himself with the pleasures and pursuits of that old age which is now deepening about him. ALExanpeR H, Steruens, or G@eorgia.—John Mitchell, in a letter to a friend in Ireland, published in the Southern Citizen, thus describes Mr. Stephens, of Georgia : At Crawfordaville, a village on one of the piny ridges ot Georgia, in an unpretending and sowewbat desolate looking house (desolatelooking it may well be, for no fair and kindly house mother ever made it shine and smile) dwells one of the choicest and rarest spirits of our hemisphere. Youthful and almost boyishlooking, yet stricken by mortal malady—one who has made a “covenant with death,’’ yet whose veins are full of the most genial life; With the cold hand clutching at bis vitals yet with a laugh clear and ringing as the marriage bell: his thin face is of deathly hue, yet the dark eyes are blazing lamps. If you are his friend, he is gentle and affectionate as a girl— if hisenemy, be will have great pleasure in standing opposite to you, at any distance that may be arranged—io which case you bad better look sharp, for he is cool as an oyster :—a student aud true philosopher, a laborious and eonscientious legislator, a powerful lawyer, and a zealous cultivator of grapes (Catawba and Scuppernong) for he has faith in the virtues of wine;—a generous triend and patron of hamble merit-—for the which many prayers and blessings arise every evening on his bebajf—a noble imaginative orator—yet not of the Charles Phillips school of “Irish oratory” by any means, his taste being too highly educated for that species of rigmarole-—such is Alexander H, Stephens, He is named amongst Presidential candidates; and, therefore, I include him in my list; but indeed I do not believe he dreams that he can possibly be President. or imagines that be could perform and endure the mere official duties—to say nothing of the tremendous moral responsibilities, the first evening’s shaking of bands ata Presidential reception would put him to death, and bring in the Vice President, But he is named as a represevtative Southern man, likely to be available as a candidate, by reason of the universal respect entertained for him North and South; and, therefore, I put bim ou my list. Isptan Graves Discovzrep.—A Mr. Colvin, residing near Monongahela city, recently discovered a number of Iodian graves, while plowing in one of his fields, bordering on Pigeon creek, The graves were covered with flat stones, a short distance beneath the surface, Several of them have been opened, and the bones exhumed.

He goes into the coming contest with the avowed intention of “crushoo ee Buchananism from the seg State, and what he determines on there is no mies how he will accomplish.
