Tb rag for splendor of equipage, establishment, and drees keeps pace with th development given of late years to th elegance of tbe houses and tb tyrannous vanity of speculator that compel you to dwell in gilded halls, and, alas, to pay for them, whether yon will or not. In drees, especially, the extravagance of th tim i such that everybody prophecies bankruptcy for hi neighbor, and fears It for himself; while the jealousy of real or apparent superiority, which forms so conspicuous element In the French character, leads every one, and especially every woman, to devote every available resource to the noble aim of emulating to the utmost the capricious extravagancies of the leaders of fashion.

Intelli gence has been received by letter from the only daughter of Com. I. Mayo to his brother residing in this city, that he departed this life on the morning of the 18th at- hia residence, near the City of Annapolis, in Anne Arnndal county, Maryland. Com. Mayo had, previous to his decease, been for many months prostrated from tbe effects of tb African coast climate, on which station he commanded the U.

S. squadron, and wa complimented by the then Secretary of the Navy, the Hon. John P. Kennedy, with tbe command of the ever to be remembered Old Ironsides, th frigate Constitution. This veteran officer had been upward of fifty years in the service of bis country, end contributed a full share among his compeers in elevating tb character of that arm of the service, and had attained to within a few names of heading tbe list of Post Captains.

A Shocking Octkaob. Mr. Jas. M. Caldwell, teller of the Bank of Northern Liberties, Philadelphia, was found half murdered in tbe woods at Camden, New Jersey, on Sunday morning last.

He was lying upon the ground, with th bock of his head cut, one ear nearly severed from hie head, hia nose split, and a frightful cut over the eyebrow. He was taken to the court-house, and medical aid sent for. The victim was only restored to consciousness after many hoars insensibility, but still lies in precarious condition. A man named Kinkle was arrested on suspicion cf having committed tbe outrage. fjT Edward T- Doran, a paymaster of the navy, was arrested about ten days ago at Norfolk, and by threats induced to disclose tbe fact to the the rebels that thsre were twenty-nine thousand dollars Government funds to his credit in New York, and gave a draft for the amount.

A party was despatched to New York and drew the money. Upon his return Doran was released. He ia now in Washington and will undoubtedly be summarily dealt with. Mr. Doran ia an India man, having been appointed from Vincennes.

Another Steamer Confiscated The steamer CoL Kennett, from New Orleans for St. Louis, was confieoted by the military authorities at Memphis on Friday. She had fifty or sixty cabin passengers on beard and three hundred and fifty German emigrants on deck. The emigrants belong to joint stock company who have purchased lands in Missouri. They will be greatly embar-fsed through the wicked action of th military despots of Memphis.

Camp Defiance had an addition of three twenty-four pounders yesterday, which will be mounted oa th point oa th former site of th distillery. Gravel trains on th Illinois Central Railroad are busy bringing in day to build a Cross-Levee, enclosing about five acres at the point, which will, when armed, be on of tbe strongest fort ia th Union.

At that point th Ohio levee is about ten feet above tbe level of tho town, usd eighty feet wid on Tbs levee on tha Mississippi side is not quite so wide, but strong enough for any use. Ymterday all was quiet. Un hundred and twenty carboy of vitriol were taken off tb steamer J. H. Dickey going to Memphis.

They were considered contraband. She only went down as far os Columbus, and returned to St. Louis. Tho Prise of Wales sod John Walsh are still in tb hand of tho soldiers in Memphis, and likely to remain there. On of our citizena had about $100 worth of groceries aboard tbe Prince for his own use, but they oooclnded he Uved too far North, and stopped them Memphis.

The man Tucker, who shot Sullivan her few days since, is still in tbe hands of the civil authorities, and no doubt will be hung. The Argonaut for Pittsburg, had a fine load. She was relieved of a few hundred sacks coni for Paducah at this point. Tbe steamer Nettie Miller, from Arkansas, passed up the Ohio yesterday. She got off, th Captain says, by good talking.

Butler made any attempt at Lynnhaven. The General arrived at Fortress Monroe at 2 oclock ednes-day evening.

There was a grand review of troops in "the evening, four thousand troops being on parade. Uu Thursday evening Gen. Butler, with abont two hundred men, marched toward Hampton, and did not meet any opp sition. Orders to that effi ct baring been sent down from Richmond, the Virginians had completed a floating battery, and on Tbarrday it woe placed on the fiats at Craney Inland, when its guns were tried. It was abont eight miles from the point where tbe irgian lay.

but was easily seen through a plane. At Lynnhaven the Virginians are said to have strong fortifications, and at Sundown Bridge there is a strong work of defence thrown np and folly armed; thus ell the approaches to Norfolk over the per insula from Cep Henry are fortified, and there are said to a eight thousand men. The nearest means of approach to the Gosport navy yard is from the Nansimon river, which is said to be thoroughly fortified by batteries of powerful guns. Everything abont Fortress Monroe wag perfectly quiet np to the time the steamer left. Nothing of the reenlt of the election coaid be obtained, though it was thought the vote in that part was almost unanimous for the ordinance of secession.

Gen. Cadwallader has been superseded here by Major Cooper, promoted to tbe command of the volunteers of this btate, or recruits rather. Cadwallader has been ordered to report to Butler at Fortress Monroe. Tbe Southern mail received here, informs as that Gen. A.

S. Johnson, late in command of the Federal troops in Utah, has been ordered by Jeff Davis to take command of Harper's Ferry. He arrived there yesterday. Gen. Beauregard is ordered to Norfolk.

Crowds of men, women, end children were standing in the streets all day, inquiring and discussing news from the seat of war, and momentarily expecting to hear the noise of battle on the other side of the Potomac. Last nights expedition was admirably well planned and executed. All the regiments took up position on the other side assigned them at the precise hour fixed upon by General Scott, The rebels were completely taken by surprise. A number of secession officers were ciptured in their beds in Alexandria. Col.

Wilcox, of the Michigan regiment, now commands at Alexandria. No one allowed to visit Alexandria without a permit from th Government. Though there have been apprehensions of an attack during the day from th rebel forces, they are much dissipated to- night. Th Federal troops command mil tbe roads leading from Harper's Ferry.

Woodlawn Race Cocrse Lott toy Th last day of the spring season was a fitting climax the whole. The day was a fitting ending to a week of beautiful weather, and the sport of the day superior to the season's most excellent racing. The stands were crowded with ladies, and the field enlivened by a large and animated concourse.

The great race of the week three mile heats, beet two in three, for a purse of $800 was contested by four animals, and resulted in producing fastest time ever made in this country. The contestants were Molly Jackson, tha winner of the Tiffany Vase, Colton, Bsttie Ward, and Sherrod, all animals in whose speed and bottom msch confidence was felt. All the animals ware known thonght to be in tip-top condition, and betting was lively and high. Thousand and twelve hundred dollar pools at' tbe odds of about $100 on Molly Jackson, to $125 on the field, were quite numerously sold on the evening before tbe race. Considerable money was wagered before the race, the course, that there would be no broken heats.

Firet Heat, With a good start, the animals Started off at an easy gait, Colton having the inside. Tbs first mile was run very slowly by all, being held in tightly, Battle Ward being disposed make a bolt of it, and they did not come down to tb work nntil at th end of th second mile, when the pace began to la visibly increased, and th remaining mil was run at a dashing rata. But at this rapid rat Molly Jackson was evidently at home and came in winner with ease Pools were sold at tha end of this heat at th odds of five and even eight to one on Molly Jack-son against th field. Second Heat. ThM heat was run In the most beautiful style.

They got off together and from the start ran at a good gait in a bunch for tha first two miles. At no time did the animals separate, Colton, Sherrod, and Bettie Ward running abreast, end Molly Jackson close in their rear in what appeared to be a tight place. But the last half mila Colton and Betti fell behind and Molly closed up almost abreast with Sherrod and thiu they came down the home stretch and to the string, Sherrod half a length ahead, amid the shouts of the excited multitude the beat being Sherrods in The excitement was now intense and hedging was tbe order of the boar. Molly Jackson was found to be in poor condition. An attempt was made to draw her, but failed, and it was understood that her owner offered $500 for that privilege, bnt the Judgea decided she mnst finish the race.

Sherrod now became the favorite and tha was wagered against the field at odds of abont two to one. Third Ileal. When the animals came to th line, the condition of Molly Jackson was apparently bopeleeas. After several falsa starts, off they went Molly laboring in the rear, Sherrod and Colton taking tbe lead, and keeping It at a rapid pace for tha first mile. They passed th string lapping, with Molley Jackson third, and Bettie warn in tbe rear.

Daring th second mile, Molly Jackson made one of trio in bunch, and her blood began to be ronsed. Bettie Ward had fallen thirty yards in th rear, and at the and of th second mile, left the trio with Molly Jackson in tha lead, and all weary and nearly exhausted. Awsv tbev went for the last heat. Colton gave way and ilettia aid passed her. Sherrod and Molly Jackson again lapped, and came down tbe stretch abreast.

When within fifty yards of the string, Molly Jackson, with a few tremendous leaps, took tha lead and came in only a head tha winnar, in the unparal-led time of th fastest time in a throe mile race ever known in this countrv.

KOBB, Chairman. J. A. CRAwroBr Secretary. The Present Aspect of Europe.

Th N. Y. Journal of Commerce say, if any man need to learn the utter inability of even th wisest student of enrrent political event to foretell whet will happen, even In the Immediate future, let him look attentively at what passing in th European world. How sudden and how great tha changes which are ever and anon taking place. literally know not what a day may bring forth.

On New Tear's Day, 1859, tb nephew of th Man of Destiny said a few words In a grand saloon of the Tnileriea to the Austrian Ambassador, in the presence of the Representatives of tho Nations. Instantly th telegraph ent them, with lightning speed, to every Court in th Old World. Every royal Gee turned pale, and th knees ot many princes smote on against th other. Before week had passed away there was great increase of bustle in nearly ail tha barracks of Europe, and of tha noise of the hammer in every arsenal and naval station. In lea than two months a million of men ware mastering for th war.

At th end of another two months great hosts of brav men, armed with th meat perfect instruments of death, were rapidly moving forward to moot each other on the field of battle. Two months more and the battle of Montebello, Magenta, Malegnano, and Solferino had taken place, the peace of Villafranca wa on tho point of being signed, and France, Italy, and Austria ware preparing to subside into a calm like onto that which had reigned in Europe from th treaty of Paris in 1856, till th memorable first of Jan-nary, 1859, to which we have just referred. A fow months more passed away, and tha movement began which gave the kingdom of Naples and tb greater part of that of Pius IX to Victor Emanuel. But the reet of Europe remained comparatively tranquiL The calm was both delusive and brief. A serious difficulty broke ont between be King of Denmark and the prond nobles of Sleswio-Holstein, who were not willing that their ancient Duchy should be closely united with the destinies of Denmark, against which they had a few years ago rebelled, and from which they claimed, as do our Southern friends; the right to secede whenever they had a good chance of success! Nor ia that difficulty adjusted up to thia moment.

A few weeks ago war between Italy and Austria seemed to be unavoidable. At the same time an uprising of the Hungarian seemed to be certain, and not fa distant in point of time. But with a degree of wise foresight, of which no man living could havo believed tbe House of Haps-burg to bo capable, the Austrian Government devised and proclaimed liberal constitutions for the several provinces of thi Empire giving tbe Hungarians the most liberal of all and a constitution for the whole Empire united; thus causing th civilized world to be astonished beyond measure. It was a master stroke of policy, with which tbe hand of England probably had more to do than she bad credit for. It remains yet to be seen whether this liberal course will secure for Austria th confidence of her long disaffected nationalities.

So tortuous has been her policy in times past so insincere her promises of redress for grievances long endured that it would seem impossible that she could, by the tardy concession of provincial and national constitutions, create a heartfelt attachment for her throne and dynasty. Especially is it doubtful whether Hungary can by any means be kept quiet, if tbe Italians, with Garibaldi at their head, should either attack e-netia or Dalmatia. The recent assassination at of Count Teleki, one of the most distinguished Hungarian, or rather Transylvanian, nobles of modern times, ia likely to cause greet exasperation of feeling in tbe entire Palatinate. The family of tb Tlekis is Protestant, and has leng been distinguished for its extensive connections, its great wealth, its high culture, and its vast political influence. The Count, whose death has produced one universal wail of distress in Hungary, was educated ia Germany, where he lived in princely style at th University of the old city of Halle, as well as at Berlin, if we are correctly informed.

He was an elegant man in his appearance and manners. His age mnst have been sbmewher in the neighborhood of fifty-five years. Honored for his talents, his social position, and political influence, his death is a great loss at this juncture. If it shall be made to appear that he has fallen by the hand of a minion of She Austrian court, his death may accomplish more for Hungary than his life could have done. It is a noble and costly sacrifice; but it may that his death will accomplish more for the lend of tha Magyars than th most brilliant victory on the field of battle.

The Austrians are arid to hava an Immense army it is reported, more than 200,000 -in Ve-netia, ready and impatient to cross the Po and the Minclo, to attack tbe Italians. But there is a great friend of Victor Emanuel whom tho Emperor of Austria is evidently unwilling to encounter on tho field of battle. Magenta and Solferino will not soon be forgotten. They ere associated with Areola and Marengo. It has not been for nothing that Lonia Napoleon has persevered in keeping a considerable army at Rome.

It is not witKouf 'purpoe that he essn assembling an army of 100,000 men in th neigborhood of Lyons. It would teem that the Russian Government, after having acted in' concert with France ia tb affairs of Syria in particular and the Turkish Empire in general, has foand ont that French intrigue and French instigation have not been wanting in the recent difficulties ia Poland. Alexander II may yet ha a as much cause to beware of Napolaon III as his uncle, Alexander had to distrut and finally toabhor Napoleon I.We a rite upon the presumption that the recent news from Warsaw and St. Petersburg is reliable. It remains to be seen what part Germany will take in a war between Austria and Hungary, or Austria and Italy.

If tho new King of Prussia bad the energy and ambition of his ancestor, the Great Frederick, he would do in Germany what Victor Emanuel has done in Italy. Germany united in one kingdom or empire, with a good prince of Brandenburg et its bead, would be a State worth seeing. But when shell this desire be realized? The 5tb of Jane is at hand! On that day tbe French troops are to quit Syria at least so it is reported. are sorry for it. When the French quit the land of goodly Lebanon, we may expect soon to hear of the re-enactment, in Syria, of the scenes of June and Jnly of last ye ir Hoar greatly ia it to be deplored that the jealousy of the English Government will not sllow the only thing to be don that can save the Christians of Syria from utter destruction.

But England is determined to stand by th sick man as long as be is out of the grave. Oh the haartlessness of diplomatic chess playing!

We take great pleasure in announcing that the lion. Emerson Etheridge, of Tennessee, the gallant champion of the Union cause in Our sister State, will speak at the Court-house this evening at half-past seven o'clock. We are greatly gratified that he has yielded to the request of many of our citizens, who. are anxious to hear from his own lips the noble utterances and patriotic principles of a gentlemen who has filled so large a space in the public regard and been so prominent in the councils of the nation during the precipitation of the present crisis of affairs upon us. We need not bespeak a large attendance, for the fame of the distinguished orator and statesman will be certain to attract thousands to hear him.

UNION CoNGRESSIONvCC. CONVENTION. Tb District Commilten have determined, in obedience to the wi.hee of the Union men of the District, to call a Convention for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Conans. It will meet at Lagrange on Monday, the 3d of June. J.

F. Speed, Kicharn T. Jacob, 11. J. Billings, G.

A. Houghton, Committee for Seventh District. It is right, as matters stand, that we should have a Convention to nominato a candidate for Congress. It seems necessary to the prosperity of our sacred cause. And we are sure that everything will be done fairly.

The two or three gentlemen spoken of as candidates are far too patriotic and high-souled either to prat tice, or to permit their friends to practice, any intrigue in the procuring of the nomination. A Canard. Ws learn by telegraph that the reported collision between the Government forces and the Confederate troops was wholly unwarranted. FROtf Harpers Ferry. Letters were received in this city yesterday from members of the Kentucky Battallion et Harper's Ferry, nnder date of the 23d.

Aa authentic letter informs us that Col. Blanton Duncan had had a misunderstanding with a Quartermaster in the Confederate army. The Colonel as insulted by the Quartermaster, and retorted by spitting in the Quartermaster's face, whereupon the aforesaid Quartermaster drubbed the Gallant Colonel. A challenge passed, but the resnlt has not transpired. Fast Camp Siiabbr.

Usiow Badges We have Been a very neat, beeuliful, and appropriate Union Rosette, composed of th red, white, and blue, with streamers of the same national colors, inscribed, The Union, the Constitution, and the Laws.

In the centre is a medallion likeness of Washington, admirably executed, and the badge is So arranged that it can be conveniently looped to a buttonhole. As these are the times which require all men to show their colors, we should like to see ery true Union citizen wear one of these over his loft breast. Thsy are for sale at Madden's and elsewhere in the city, we believe. 09 War prices have been decided upon at the Theatre, and in the future the price of admission will be fifty cents to the boxes, twenty-five cents to the second tier, and ton cents to the gallery, This is a good movement; we must have amusement, and while money iS so scarce and labor receives so little encouragement, those ho cater to the public gratification, should bring down tbeir pricey to the lowest point. We hope the new movement will be profitable to the management and satisfactory to the public.

9There was great excitement at Camp Shelby yesterday, we are informed. A report was received in camp to the effect that hostilities had commenced in Louisville, that fourteen persors had been killed, and seven wounded. The troops in camp were ordered to sleep upon tbeir arms, and hold themselves in readiness to march toward the city at a moment's warning. The -Askerson Guards. This company, named in honor of Col.

Robert Anderson, the hero of Fort Sumpter, is composed of many clever sober young men the very material for good sol dicta who have enrolled themselves together aa a Home Guard, nnder the provisions of the late ordinance of the city. Before being sworn in to receive from the Mayor their arms and accoutrements, they wish to have a few more good names added to their muster-roll, and among tha many floe companies in the Home Guard in our midst, we know of none more desirable than thia, and would like to see it filled with good Union, law abiding citizens. The company will enter the service of th city under th brightest aaspioes, and predict for it a brilliant future. Wi would, therefore, earneetly advise all those who feel like enter.ng a Home Guard company, wboee intention is to uphold the Union, the Constitution, and the Enforcement of the Lews, "and who nr willing to take an oath to support the Conali-- tution of the United States, the Constitution of Kentucky, and the Charter of the city of Louisville, to call at the companys splendid drill room, in the third story of tha Union Engine-bouse, on Jefferson street, this (Mondey) evening, at eight o'clock, and enroll their names. Members of the company will take notice of the advertisement of the meeting in another column.

Hughes, the veteran steamboat engineer, the oldest perhaps in tha country, bat still ardently devoted, aa in his youth, to tha Union. Tha flag was made by the ladies, and got up in beautiful stj le.

The writer does not give his name, but we know who he is, and we can say that Mississippi has no truer or purer or more substantial citizen than be. If his warnings were for her, they would be too late, but Kentucky may well heed words of warning from one, who, living in the midst of the consequences of dis-unionism, ia well qualified to speak ot them from personal knowledge.

Shall Kentucky make herself such an unhappy land as Mississippi, Alabama, Ac. now are? Mississippi, May, 18C1. Dear Sirs: The Confederacy takes charge, of tb mails after this month; therefore may see th Journal no more. I sometime since informed yon that one of oar leading men, who was in the convention, said ho had been humbugged. Another complained of all power (aliaa freedom) being grasped at Montgomery.

They would not venture to give tbeir opinion as matters now stand; they dare not. Th few, by being organized, have finally and folly tied the hands of tbe many. Read the history of Alexandria of old, and yon will see th history of th Confederacy aa it will be, adding that th Confederacy will have fallen from mere freedom to more despotism.

That there ha arisen and exists no just cause for secession on tbe part of those State which have attempted to disrupt the United Statw; that secession Is another name for that no esure for revolution has existed or no exists, moot of which causes are enunciated in th Preamble of the Declaration of Independence. 3.

That no officials, neither Governor nor Legislature, have a right to weaken or dissolve tb relations which bind ns to the government of our fat here.

That we have an inheritance in that svmbol of Union and of our liberty that old national flag, tbe Star Spangled Banner and by the blessing of Heaven we will not yield up nor surrender that inheritance at th dictation nor by tbe coercion of sny power whatever. 6.

PoMiiaflit a mnw of tbe following letter from si at-. him on the state of th country Chicago, May 10, 186L Mt Dear Sir: Being deprived of the nee of my arms for the present by a severe attack of rheumatism, 1 am compelled to avail myself of tbe sen ices of sn amaDuensis in replying to your two letters. It seems that some of my friend are nnable to comprehend the difference between arguments used in favor of sn equitable compromise, with the hope of averring the horrors of war, and those urged in of the Government and flag of our country, when war is being waged against the United States with the avowed purpose of producing a permanent disruption of the Union and a total destruction of its Government. Ail hope of compromise with the Cotton States was abandoned wnen they assumed the position that the separation of the Union was complete and final, aud that they woald never consent to a reconstruction in any contingency not even if we would furnish them with a blank sheet of paper and permit them to inscribe tbeir own terms SU11 the hop was cherished that reasonable ar.d satisfactory terms of adjustment could be agreed upon with Tennessee. North Caroline, end the Border States, and that whatever terms would prove satisfactory to these loyal Statee would create a Union party in th Cotton Statee which would be powerful enough at the ballot-box to dmtrov the Revolutionary Government, and bring those States bsck into tbe Union by tb voice of their own people.

This hope was cherished by Union men North and South, and was never abandoned nntil actual war was levied et Chat lee-ton, and tbe authoritative announcement made by the Revolutionary Government at Montgomery that th secession 6 ig should be planted npon the walls of tbe Capitol at Washington, and a proclamation it sued inviting th pirates of the world to prey upon the commerce of the United States. The. startling facts, taken in connection with the boastful announcement tbet tbe ravage of war end carnage should be quickly transferred from tbe cotton fie da of tb South to the wheat fields and corn field of tbe North, furnish conclusive evidence at it was the fixed purpoee of the secessionists utterly to destroy tbe government of our father and obliterate the United States from tbe map of tbe world. In view of this state of facts, there was but one path of dutv left to patriotic men. It was not a party question, nor question involving partisan policy; it was a quest of Government or no Government, couutry or no country; and hence it became the imperative duty of every Union man, every friend of constitutional liberty, to raHy to tbe support of our common country, its Government and flag, os the only means of checking tb progress of revolution end of preserving th Union of the Statee.

1 am nnable to answer yunr questions in respect to the policy of Mr. Lincoln and hia Cabinet 1 am not in tbeir confidence aa you and the whole country ought to be aware. I am neither tbe supporter of tb partisan policy nor the apologist for th errors of the Administration. My previous relations to them remain unchanged, but I trust the tim will never come when 1 shall not be willing to make any needful sacrifice of personal feeling and party policy for the honor and integrity of my country. I know no mod by which a loyal citizen mar so wall demonstrate his devotion to his country as bv sustaining the Flag, tbe Constitution, end the 'Union, under ell circumstances, end under every Administration (regardless of pvrty politics), against all assailants, at bom and abroad.

Tbe course of Clay and abater towards the Administration of Gen. Jackson, in the days of nullification, presents a noble and worthy example for all true patriots. At th very moment when that fearful crisis was precipitated npon tb country partisan strife between Whig and Democrats was quite as bitter and relentless as now between Democrat and Republicans. Tb gnlf which separated party leader in those day was quite as broad and deep as that which now separates th Democracy from the Republicans. But the moment an enemy rose in our midst, plotting tbe dismemberment of the Union end the destruction of the Government, th voice of partisan strife was bushed in patriotic silanes.

One of th brightest chapters in th history erf oar country will record the feet that during this eventful period tbe great leaders of tbe Opposition, sinking the partisan ia tb patriot, rushed to the support of the Government end became its sbleet end bravest defenders against all assailants until tbe conspiracy was crashed and abandoned, when they resumed their former position as patty lea flare npon political issues. These acta of patriotic devotion have ever been deemed evidence of infidelity or political treachery, on the pert of Clay ana Webster, to the principles and organization of the old Whig party. Nor have I any apprehension that tha firm end unanimous support which th Democratic leader end masses are now giving to the Const itntion and the Union will ever be deemed evidences of infidelitv to Democratic principles, or a want of loyalty to th organization and creed of th Democratic party. Ir we bop to regain and perpetuate tbe eseeedancy of our party, we should never forget that a man cannot be true Democrat unless be is a loyal Patriot. With tb sincere hope that thee mv eonsdea-tions convictions may coincide with those of my friends, I am, very truly youra, STEPHEN A.

DOUGLAS. To Virgil Hxcox, Esq Chairman Btet Democratic Committee. 'Tb Rev. Walter Dunlop, minister of the United Secession Church et Dumfries, was the most reputed of Scottish clerical humorists of tbe age just past.
