It is in this respect a mere fiction, very inrch after the Ingraham style, but the gospel record is generally adhered to with free embellishment from fancy. We are surprised that the work is commended by some ministers of the gospel, snd by a portion of the religious press.

Latest fbom Hath. Military Executions by the Emperor By Vat arrival of the General Taylor at New York we have letters from Port au Prince to the 6th of January. In respect to the political and commercial condition of the capital a correspondent of the New York Post writes as follows: Port au Prince, Jan.

6, 1956. In respect tf political matters, I hardly know what to write you, but the feeling seems to be much stronger that we are to have no revo lotion at present. The North and the South ap-r ear to be perfectly quiet, and as to this place, there is not the least sign of insurrection-. The Emperor is said to be now at the Cape, though, in no very long time, we expect him to come to Port au Prince, and then finally to close the campaign at leitt we hope so, and in that case business will immediately revive all over the country, and consumption and sales be resumed. Toere has been quite a number of military executions in the army.

Among others, Gen. Tous-saint and Gen. Canistre, of Jeremie, and another General from Aux Cayes. The last two are said to have been traitors to the Government, and to have been on intimate terms with some of the leaders of the Eastern people during several years past. Several officers of inferior grade have also been executed.

The arrivals of the Milton, John Boynton. Da-gon, Croton and Kerneson all to commence' discharging to-morrow have filled (or rather will fill) the place to overflowing with provisions. It is useless fo quote prices, as they would be unsettled and falling from day to day, and there are no sales except for immediate consumption. Latest from Liberia. The New York Colo, ization Society has advices from Liberia to the close of November.

Every thing was going on favorably in that new Republic. The papers give an interesting account of President Roberts' last official visit to theseveral towns. At Buchanan he was received with all honors due to his high station. The Young Men's Literary Associatien invited the President to a public dinner, on which occasion an address was delived to him by Mr. Charles Pieman, a native youth, who received his education in New York, and was named after the late Rev Charles Pitman, for some years carrespond-ing secretary of the Methodist Missionary Society.

The president responded in an speech. 1 The Rev. Mr. James, principal of the preparatory school, writes from Monrovia, November 23d, that the schools are doing well. A school for voung girls has been opened, by Miss Caroline Brown, lately from the United States.

President Benson has resolved to serve but one term of two years. He raised on his farm during the past year'about 10,000 lbs. of cofiye. Metropolitan Railroad Compaxy. The memorial of this company to the legislature is not for a change of route, as has been stated, but for a repeal cf a provision of its charter, which requires the entire road to HageTstown to be completed before any dividends of the earnings of the road shall be paid to the stockholders.

One of the directors ays: This provision is regarded by capitalists as very unjust, and has and will continue to prevent them from taking hold of the work; and unless removed the charter must expire by limitation. The repeal of this provision is all that is a-ked for. The company are satisfied with the present route as selected, and believe the whole road to Hagerstown will be a very profitable one, and their full purpose is to make there so soon as they are able. If the memorial be granted the company have a hope that means raised to construct the work to the BalTimore and Ohio Railroad, and then the way will be opened for continuing the road to its destination by pledging the bonds of the company, and thereby raising means to accomplish the undertaking. This 1 known to be the plan and purpose of the but if the memorial be rejected it must prove a death blow to all the hopes of the friends of the board.

si Affaies in Washington Cotnty; We copy 'he following from the Hagerstown Herald: A Mtlmnctioly Suicide. Mr. Daniel Welty, residing upon one of the farms of Mr Samuel Mc-Cauley, a few miles below Funkstown, committed suicide on Saturday morning last by drowning himself in a spring near bis residence. The deceased was a very clever, amiable and Industrious man, and had bought a fine farm the Tuesday previous. He wss about 40 years of age, and leaves a wife and three children.

Our Relations with England, A des. patch from Washington to the Philadelphia Ame. lean furnishes the following: Mr. Buchanan's letters, received by the Arabia, represent the feeling In the British Ministry as being very sensitive on the subject of our relations. He had received the request for Mr.

Crampton's recall fourteen hours before the sailing of the steamer, but had not presented it up to that time. Of course, therefore, no intelligence has been received of the effect It produced. Mr. Buchanan was informed, however, before the positive demand 'was despatched, of the course the Administration would probably adopt in regard to the enlistment question, and doubtless had sounded Lord Clarendon on the subject Hence his misgivings. Mr.

Bocbanan thinks there is reasonable ground to expect that peace will be made on the basis of the propositions submitted to Russia, but our Ministers at other Courts do not express the same confidence or hope. They consider the present position of Russia as assumed by her in order to enable her to complete her preparations. What the French Think of Us. The Pails correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, speaking of the recent contest at Washington for the speakership, says "The French cannot comprehend such a state of things. Said one to me 3'esterday evening, as he was glancing over his evening paper, the Presse, and came to the paragraph which told him that the House had voted twenty -six time3 for Speaker-President, as the French translate it without an election, you Americans are singularly patient with your Representatives.

If France were a Republic, and such a thing had occared in its National Assembly, the people would have assembled en niaste, burst the doors of the Chamber, and driven their unworthy servants out of doors, or if repulsed by the troops, there, would have been a general rising, and tbe-streets of Paris would have iiowed with Dlood. There would have been a 'It is for this very I replied, 'that you are not and never can be fit for self-government.

To Advertiser tk tiAAt advertising medium la which rtxuUie the largest number of readers at the lowest proportionate oust; and the advantages of advertising will I in exact ratio with the circulation.

An the circulation of The Sun- is oomn.ii to the whole community, and is always increasing with the increase pf our city and vicinal towns, as an advertising modi-Xfm it siirpasset its contemporaries, vve may. ft1'1' that The Sun is the only paper in tiie city entirel) independent of party, sect or clique; it recognizes no ml distinctions amongst the people, ot4 fo tlie welfare of society at irf- ariesIifPijblic Men. A very interesting suljet this, and one that lies much nearer to the public welfare than we arc, without reflection, ready to believe. The MassaChus tlsHegisldture Js about to pass a bill increasing the salaries of the Judges of the Supreme Court oae thousand dollirs each per annum It Is excellent economy to pay judges icell. And it will constitute a very proper subject for consideration with the people, if they should be disposed to hold another constitutional conventUn in 1SW, whether it would not be an amendment of the constitution to increase the salaries of some of the judges iaour SUte.

There are several who have an amount of labor to perform dlsproportioned to others, while the salaries of all cf the same class are alike. Judicial service de-jrands men of ability, and men of ability can always command at the bar much more than they can on the bench. The salary should, therefore fcearsome relation to the market value of leal talent, and should be sufficient to make the office acceptable lo men wto can command more at the lar, but who would be willing to exchange the labor of the cne, for the honor, dignity and comparative uspose of the other. A paragraph lately arrested our attention, in which it was remarked, as a curious anomaly in ui aemccrauc rrm of government, that the executive offices are falling into the hands of rich men- As an illustration it was stated that a poor man or 3 Y1M .1 rf 1 uaimui ue uuveruur buhic vi uie iaies iew i orK, ror instance. The salary of the office is SI ,000 per annum, out of wnica the incumbent must provide for loss of Business, rent of a fine mansion, and entertain xnents.

Such men as Governors Fi-sh, Hunt, Seymour and Clark, all men of independent means, get along very well; but when the people flung th? Gubernatorial mantle upon John Young, with only 54,000 a year in the pockets of if, he was very seriously embarrassed before he got oat of it, and all sorts of odd rumors were rife about his finan ceering. Tte Governor of Connecticut has a salary Sl.lOC; of Massachusetts, of Vermont, $750; of New Jersey, $1,800, Some of thes sums are entirely inadeyaate to what the offic ought to command, unless the State, in its "wis Jt i iias maae it a mere nominal a pecies of wisdom, however, which we seriously question. The governor of ths State oneht to have duties to perform, and responsibility to sustain worthy of me exaitta nominal position of the chief executive officer. And his salary should be commensurate With his duties, and with the official dignity bears as the chosen representative of the popular supremacy. To put the salary of the Governor of a sovereign State at about the level of an ordinary Clerk hire, is to degrade the character and value of the oilice at the expense of the people themselves.

If, on the other hand, 1- is to make the office one of honor o' If, then, it will exclude the man of moderate rr.ees and invite only the rich; and thus jeaa to the habitual elevation of only the rici to places or honor, which, as a natural and inevifa We conseqoei ee, as ali experiencej'eaches us, will, under such circumstances, ultimately become the piacts of power. But there is one branch of this subject that may be corsidered in a different light to which it is gent-rally presented to us. The notion is quite prevalent, indeed, that the governor of a State, must by virtue of his office provide en'ertain-ment to an. unlimited extent, give tone to society by ihe balls and fetes of the government mansion, and have an open purse to all demands. This is reaily ckse pattern after the official system of Europe, where the salaries bear some pro.

portion lo the necessities this practice involves. iii.t our republican system should thoroughly reject this idea. The governor the State is elected to perform certain duties pertaining to the office he occupies. Beyond this he is a much a private citizen as any other officer of the State, and hij dwelling should be as sacred as that of any other man. His position should exempt him from the ordinary exactions of fashionable life, rather than make him their most prominent v'e im.

And it strikes us that it would be a better plan to include in the salary cf the governor of a State a hand, ssnse sum for house rent, than to make him tha common occupant cf a mansion belonging to the State. At any rate it is but just and proper that a man elected to the office of Governor, as to any other office under the State, should be free to live not only within his salary if it was desirable to him but with an economy aiming directly at the saving cf a portion cf it. It is a frugal and judiciou5 lousehold that is conducted well within its means and one that commands respect, confidence and credit in private life. There Is no reason why the same rule should not apply to any pablic officer, from the President of the United States to the lumblest servant of the people. Columbia and Port Deposite Railroad.

A bill is before the Maryland House of Delegates to charter a company to construct this railroad. "The capital is to be not less than six hundred thousand dollars, nor more than one million two hundred thousand dollars, In shares of fifty dollars each; and the eompany are to have authority to form a union with any company incorporated by Pennsylvania for the purpose of opening and contracting a railroad from Columbas, to the JMaryland and Pennsylvania line. The charter is to be void If the road is not commenced within three years, and finished within ten. Graftok. This is the name of a town that is Springing' up at the junction of the Baltimore and Ohio and Northwestern Railroads, in the county Cf Taylor, Va.

The population has already reached 579, and is said to be steadily increasing. The Railroad Companies have erected some of their principal shops at that point. We may expect in a few years to see numerous flourisking towns and villages springing up along the line of the two roads where at present nothing greets the eye but dense forests or uncultivated lands. Legislative Proceedings. From some cause or other oiir Annapolis correspondence did not come to hand last evening, and we are thus without yesterday's legislative proceedings.

We would ordinarily suppose this to have occurred on account of a failure of the train to connect at the Junction, but as some (not all) of the most important of our "Washington correspondence was also missing last evening, It may be that there was some irregularity or neglect in connecting with the mails. The CoffSTT of Fauquier, in Virginia, 1 veil known as one of the best grazing spots in the country.

The prospect of an Increase in the demand for the Cumberland or Maryland coal appears more flattering. We learn that it is now much more extensively consumed in the East than formerly. The railroads are beginning to use it extensively, as the employment of wood has been found upon experiment with Maryland coal to be much more expensive as a fuel for locomotives. The Mining Magazine states that some of the eastern railroads are using the semi-bituminous coal of this region to economic advantage. The saving is full one third.

At this time the increase in the supply of this coal is barely equal to the increase in the consumption. Fatal Accident. On Wednesday of last week Henry Luman, a native of Germany and a citizen of this place, fell from the bridge of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, across the Potomac, at the 2lst section west of Cumberland. He was intoxicated at the time, and instead of taking the side of the bridge he undertook to walk through the centre, occupied by the railroad track, where there is no flooring. He passed down between the frame work and fell a distance of some thirrv feet to the Ice.

The Massachusetts Personal Liberty Bill The so-called Personal Liberty Bill, the real design of which was to prostrate the operation of the fugitive slave law in Massachusetts, will probably be modified at this session of the legislature, in so far as to deprive it cf its unconstitutional features. The joint special committee to whom the subject was referred had a meeting on February 1, ana aaopiea two resolutions, namely; mai the opinion of the Supreme Court as to the law should cot be asked, and that it is inexpedient to repeal the law. The first resolution was adopted by a vote of five to three, and the second by a still more decisive vote. Mr.

Brig-gs, of PittsSeld. son of ex-Governor Briggs, took the lead in, opposition, both to reference and repeal. The law, however, was subsequently referred to a sub committee, instructions to report such alterations, if any, as may be needed. The Lake Superior Copter Region.
