We find the following article in the Crayon" the standard Art journal of the country, for September. It is no more than just to our young friend. There is one error the article. The State ha9 not commissioned Mr. Mead to make this statue.

That is to be the work of private effort. Domestic Art Gossip. Larkin G. Mead, jr. of Brattleboro', is engaged upon his plaster model for a statue of Ethan Allen, for the State of Vermont, to be erected over the remains of that distinguished hero at Burlington.

The figure is of colossal proportions, being nine feet high. It will be cut in Vermont marble, from the Rutland quarries, and placed upon a Tuscan column of granite forty feet in height. The historical incident chos en by Mr. Mead is the capture of Fort Ticon-1 All neau naugniuy arawn right nana raised, the left hand holding his chapeau at 'he.

Mead has also in progress, and near capitol building at Montpelier. It is a stand ing female figure classically draped to the feet, holding in the right hand a scroll, and in the left arm a sheaf of wheat. He has also a portrait bust in clay on hand, and has moreover produced some fine pen-and-ink out'ine sketches illustrative of Prue and The foregoing illustrates one phase of healthy art encouragement. Here we tee the State of Vermont honoring one of its heroes by erecting a statue to his memory, and commissioning a sculptor who is reared upon its own soil to produce the work. Nothing better could be done.

Mr. Mead is competent in every respect he is young, faithful, and enthusiastic and whether his work, when completed, will or will not stand the test of abstract excellence, or bear favorable comparison with the best works in existence, he it entitled to a fair chance. His statues will always be prized for being original, and as a testimony of the artistic resource, of the State of Vermont. A First Rate Puff. At the Supreme Court of Vermont, Mrs.

Sarah A. Mott was divorced from her husband, Mr. Darwin Mott. The Rutland Herald gives the following bi ography of this worthy, which for pith is rarely equalled know that man Darwin Mott. He cume to St.

Albans with a long face, a silver- headed cane, and Rev." prefixed to his name. He preached one faith a few months and suddenly changed it. He preached and went a hunting the same day. He preached on temperance (and the people were astonished at his stolen lectures and feigned honesty,) and got drunk. Ho lectured to the young ladies and played the admirer.

He kept a bad school edited a democratic paper stole money, and champo the tlioft nnnn the servant girl got the office of Deputy inspectorgot drunk upon smuggled liquor took one shirt another man', wife and a bundle of manuscript termons, and ran away from his own wife, his paper and a crowd of creditors." That certainly is a mixed example of con densed writing. We wonder how the Rever end Darwin Mott likes the style. MR. SUMNER. The London Illustrated Neies accompanies I.

Dr. a a Sib I should be very happy to attend the proposed celebration at Brandon on trt5 1st of September, did my engagements permit, but I have some official duties which demand my attention at that time, not to spjak of private occupations, which oblige me, for some weeks to come, to economize every single hour.

I must, therefore, beg the committee to excuse me from accepting their polite invitation to join them in doing honor to i achievement which is the first in human history, that has united all civilized men in ii'if simultaneous burst of wonder and of joy. I take this occasion to say, in reference to ie double character of your festivity, that I I i)k upon the revival of the military spirit in Vjrmont with much gratification.

Miasn. For the Watchman. NATIONALITY. The Boston correspondent of the Springfield Ili-publican says The fact is the Republican party isn't a party yet, and still worse, isn't likely to be at present." That would be irse for all parties if indeed it is not a party a id is not likely to be. For if the Democratic party are to mtinue to squander JO a year, it will be worse indeed for their tvt payers than it would to have some party assume the control of government that would do justly.

So that if the Republican is not a trty and isn't likely to be, there is no check a id is not likely to be to unparalleled extravagance, to the most heaven-diring abuse to fiat race who have no rights that white men are bound to respect, to that class of men who want a State Constitution which they firmed, and not one formed for them by border ruffians, and violently thrust upon them, and finally no hope for those who bad hoped fiat popular sovereignty would prevail. Instead of that we have presidential sovereignty, with a power behind the throne greater than the throne a power which says "I am the nation, and let no dog. wag his tongue for popular rights, for equality, for justice to all men. Let this be the test of nationality, that men everywhere bow to my behests. This nation was made to perpetuate Slavery, and the man who asserts the contrary it a section-alist and a fanatic." When Gov.

McDuffie, of South Carolina, asserted, twenty-three years ago, that Slavery was the corner stone of the republic, he little thought that his successors in to short a time would be able to assert ani maintain with their candidate in the Presidential chair, this republic is for the perpetration of Slavery. But has it not come to thii Is not the mere mention of the manumission of the slaves regarded as sectional, fanatical and visionary, and is not the whole Democratic party North and South, laboring to impress on the minds of all men that sound nationality consists simply in unreserved fealty t3 Slavery as the graat whole of our nation We may denounce if we please the African slave trade, but say anything against the American slave trade and we are denationalized. Let the whip crack and the manacle clatter from "Ole Virginy" to Texas. Let human hearts be rent by grief and crime committed against innocence, let the road to the sugar plantations be decorated all the way with the skeletons of those who have been unable or unwilling to continue their pilgrimage to them, and let Heaven itself resound with cries of mothers for their daughters, torn ruthlessly from them by the insatiate love of gain, and no fear of retribution, no love of honor, no moving of affection can stir the Dead Sea of Democratic existence to denounce the inhuman and abominable American traffic, or to do one single thing to mitigate the woes of those doomed to the beastial life of Slavery. All democracy tells ut they are niggers and if we ask for them protection of law, the right to life and pursuit of happiness, (alas for liberty) we are, of course.

Nigger Worshippers! How summary and satisfactory is such an answer But how admirably doei the answer disclose the views, sentiments and position of the unterrificd Democracy North and South. They are at free from fear as they are from righteousness, and as deaf to the cry of justice or mercy as God will be bye-and-bye to the cry of helpless guilt. It is an easy matter to put our foot on the neck of crushed and helpless weakness, writhing in its agony, but it will be a hard thing to meet Him who says I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witnest against the sorcerers and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, ond fear not me, taith the Lord of hosts. For behold the day cometh that shall burn at an oven and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly shall be stubble, and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch." True, the Republican party it not to much of a party that they can abate all thii crime. They do not expoct to redeem all Mr.

Buchanan's pledgee to popular tovereignty in a moment they do not eipect la abolish Slavery where they have no power and as a party they do not expect to abolish it anywhere they do not imagine the goveraraent can subsist without money; but they do expect its expenses may be lessened thoy do expaet itt revenue may defray them od ultimately liquidate all demands against the government. Now who would not desire to much Who would not detire to tee the advocacy of equal rights, and of human freedom, and not human chattledora, national Who would not desire to tee freedom of speech and of the press North and South But tuch freedom is not enjoyed now. Who would not desire the fieedora of the ballot box? But because 8. U. Stowell, Watcrbury, specimens soap stone, diploma A.

He denies that a fret) negro is entitled to a privilege secured by the Constitution only to the citizens of the United States, and quotes from the Dred Scott case in support thereof.

Mr. Davenport, having purchased the battery, commenced taking it to pieces to obtain more knowledge of its principles, till he was enabled to construct a naiiery o. equal power, oui maue no material improvement.

Soon after this Mr. Davenport constructed several models of machines, driven by elec tromagnetic power. His first machine was a horizontal wheel, with a row of horse-shoe magnets placed upon its peniphcry, and moved by the attraction of the battery on those magnets. The wheel received a slow and feeble motion, but it was sufficient to demonstrate the practicability of motion. Thut was a permanent motion produced, and in doing this Mr.

Davenport did what no man had ever done before. The next improvement I inspected, was on the principle of the vibrat- lever, which worked with a rapid motion, 2.1::. wag tn compete ij-ni mode, f' was the principle of the telegraph almost next machine I saw was Iroad locomotive, placed on uivui.i tun iiiiuuui, aim iuiiicu uu a lvihid pivot within, carrying its own battery and all its apparatus.

progress. After travelling awhile Davenport commenced publishing a paper in New York city, entitled the "Electro Magnet," dcvnled to the interests of electro magnetism, and printed on a small press propelled by hit electro-magnetic engine. The paper was published a short time and then abandoned. During sonic of the past stages of the en terprise, as Mr. Davenport since informed me, rrof.

Morse paid him a visit, at New-York, I believe, for the purpose of inspecting hi. machine. Mr. Davenport, in a gentle manly manner, explained its principle, and mode of operation to the full satisfaction of Mr. Morse, who departed, probably with the rudiment, of the telegraph working in bis mind, for the invention of the telegraph was soon announced.

And thus having stolen Mr. Davenport's thunder, it enabled him to send his lightnings to every part of the country, and his thunder i. now traversing the bottom of the great Atlantic ocean, and i. heard from shore to shore and its reverberations extend to the back woods ol North America on the west, and will soon reach to China on the east. Such is the thunder Mr.

Morse uses without giving Mr. Davenport any credit for the foundation of the invention. These are facts coming in part from my personal knowledge, and in part from conversation with Mr. Davenport years ago when he was alive. D.

The same operations are carried on upon an extensive tcale in the vicinity of Boston "The price paid for bones varies according to quality. Thigh bones of bullocks are made into handles of tooth brushes, and are of the most value, being worth 10 or 12 cents apiece. The jaw bone, rank next, and sell for 818 per thousand. The 'short' bones, which are thrown from the family table, are worth 50 cents per bushel. A Mr Greene, in New York, pays 8100 per day for bones, and there are many in that city who are cn- iu me Dusiness wno pay an equal amount.

Ox hoofs are worth lO Der tun. horse hoof, and sheep hoofs and horns 815 per tun. On the arrival of the bones at the factory, the thigh and jaw bones are sawn so as to admit of the removal of the marrow. They are then thrown into a vast cauldron, and boiled until all the marrow and fatty substances attached to them are thoroughly extracted. The fat is then skimmed off and placed in coolers, and the bones are deposited in neaps ior assortment.

Frank Jackson, born in Mercer of free parents, was some eight years ago sold into slavery in Virginia, by a drover by the name of Charles May. Since that time Frank has been held in bond-ago and owned by several masters, the last one being Frederick Swann of North Carolina. While in his service he related his story to an eminent attorney and slaveholder of that Stato, G.

Garrison and May remained to attend a series of meetings in Vermont. The first of these was held at Montpelier, the capital of the State, on the afternoon of August 27th, in the rree Church, friends were present from Barre, Berlin, Northfield, and perhaps other towns, besides a small representation of the people of Montpelier, including three ministers of the place, and several of the leading editors.

But it was evident that efforts had been made to deter the Montpelier people from hearing Mr. Garrison. Two of the clergymen seated themselves at the extreme corner of the house they made no response, when invited to offer prayer for the slaves in the United States, and for the efforts used for their deliverance; nor did they come to the defence of the American I Churches, or of the United States Constitu tion, when these were arraigned before the audience as the leading agents and instrumentalities of tyranny, oppression and moral depravity in the land. In the evening the audience was considerably enlarged, the small house being pretty well filled. We supposed the reason why we obtained access, to this building to be that it is at present occupied by no religions (in the American sense) society and minister.

No church in town could possibly be obtained It was noticed that the editor of the Republican paper, the Oreen Mountain Freeman, did not come to cither meeting, or show the slightest courtesy to anti-slavery strangers. Indeed, as we were informed, he had been heard to say that if these anti-slavery speakers came to Montpelier, he would "abuse" them. This is not singular, however, but wholly in accordance with the key-note given by the New York Tribune, in its treatment of the American Anti-Slavery Society and its friends, which key-note the lesser lights of the Republican party all over the JNorth (with a very few exceptions) make haste to imitate and echo. The Republican party of Vermont is evidently losing its in(i-slavery character, and consorting more and more with the conservative elements of old Whiggery. The real anti-slavery men in it are much dissatisfied with some of the nominations which the party is supporting at this time.

The editor of the Christian Repository (Universalist) attended our evening meeting, and showed a courteous spirit to the speakers but I observed that his paper of yesterday (an entire week after the meetings) has not given so much as a notice of the fact that Mr. Garrison had visited Montpelier the week previous, for the first time in his life, delivering two of his profoundly able and stirring addresses, which no editor, politician or priest present had ventured to controvert I But we had good assurance that the word spoken in Montnelier wa. nnt 1 t.ju i. by some of the true in heart.
