in mim rorararorafra BOSTON DAILY EVENING' TRANSCRIPT FRIDAY, JUNE SO, 1854. .3 Madame Soxtao. Ws select from foe New York Tribune the following short sketch of fas great artiste whose recent and sudden death hu brought sorrow to so many hearts. It is Just tribute to foe memory of Sontag, of whom tho writer truthfully remarks Hers wu an eventful existence. The eotam-poniy of Beethoven and Weber admired and petted by thou illustrious and now departed composers; glorified by the living Rossini; the coadjutor on the stage of Malibran and Pasta; foe envied beauty of fashionable and courtly life, to which she suddenly went from the stage; the affectionate mother of several children, for whose sake, after a reveru of fortune, she resumed the sock and buskin, and beggared wonder by the freshness of her tones ana the consummate skill of her vocalization she presents a career without parallel in the history of the stage.

In some respects she wu ths best artist living, and had in a higher degree than any one else foe pure vocal traditions of Porpora and Cresoentini. As an actress, she showed herself altogether above and beyond lighter characters when she undertook revere and stately tragedy, and sustained herselt triumphantly. This sudden death will be a heavy Mow to her devoted husband. Count Rossi. She leaves several children, some of them quite young, and one a lovely girl of about 17 yean.

These all remained in Europe when she came to this country. One reason of the coming hither of Madame Sontag wu, that she wu cut off from appearing on the stage In a large portion of Europe. Having been foe wife of a diplomatist, etiquette forbade her reappearance in the opera. This extreme folly which virtually outlaws the profession of a vocalist wu not practiced hi Prussia, France, or England, where her pious devotion to the interests of her children only enforced the admiration felt for her. Sontag wu bora at Coblents, on foe Rhine, in 1805, and after performing Juvenile parts, made her first appearance In 1823 prima donna, in Berlin, and from that time shared with Malibran, the lyric throne of Europe.

In 1810 she wu married to the Count Rossi, foe Sardinian Ambassador, and retired to private lift. After an interval of nineteen years, she reappeared iu 1819, in London, to retrieve the fortunes of her huband, and came to this country in 1851, where she achieved the most complete success.

Tn Timi on Astsieis Soutx Carolina. Benstnr Bntfar, or South Carolina, on Wednesday last, charged tor from Massachusetts wife nhto musty records and scraps of history. Persons familiar with the Revolutionary history of our country can well understand the sensitiveness of the South Carolinian upon this point; as our present his State in no enviable light during that memorable struggle. She could not then defend herself against her own Tories; and it is no exaggeration to say, that more soldiers from New England ware sent to her aid, and now lie buried in her soil, than she sent from it to every scene of strife from Lexington to Yorktown. South Carolina, with a northern army to assist her, could not, or would not, preserve her own capital.

The Impartial historian, as he records this portion of her history, must state that the inhabitants, as a body, gave the most ample evidence that they preferred allegiance to foe Britlih crown to joining their fortunes with foe Patriots of America. Sir Henry Clinton considered his triumph there complete, and communicated to the British Ministry the intelligence that foe whole State had yielded submission to the royal arms, and had again become a part of the empire. One of the most able American writers upon the subject of the Revolutionary history of South Carolina has affirmed, in his closing paragraph, "font whatever the guilt of foe Tories, the Whigs disgraced their cause and the American name." Had the people of South Carolina rallied in defence of Charleston, as foe yeomen of Massachusetts did to aid the town of Boston, Gen. Lincoln would never have been compelled to accept the humiliating terms of capitulation. The Continental Congress fixed the quota of troops to be furnished by South Carolina at soldiers.

She sent 6,660, or more than tea thousand lot than foe number. Massachusetts was called upon by Congress for 82,689 men. She furnished 83,033 soldiers, or upwards of thirty thousand more than was required. South Carolina furnished only 783 more soldiers in the conflict than gallant little Rhode Island, the smallest State in the confederacy. She sent only one fifth the number of Connecticut; only one half as many as New Hampshire, then almost an unbroken It is true she sent a Laurens, father and son, Middleton, Rutledge, Marion, Sumpter and Pickens, gallant men on foe field and wise men in council, but the mass of her people were not favorably disposed to tho American cause, and her Senators should be careful how they taunt the sons of New England about old and musty records and scraps qf history.

The muster-rolls of the Revolution contain a deep stain upon her honor, and the graves of tho brave soldiers of New England upon her soil will be perpetual memorials of her backwardness In the cause of American Freedom! The name of a resident of Charleston, South Carolina, heads the alphabetical list of noted, Tories in 1780, and the only Samuel Adams of South Carolina that figures in the history of the Revolution, signed his name to the Tory address to Sir Henry Clinton. Mx. SrixEis Speech. It is very evident that Mr. Bumner has made quite an impression by his eloquent reply to the taunts and insults to which he has been subjected.

We published portion of the speech yesterday; the remainder appears this morning upon the first page. We give below tome of the comments of the press in New York upon the tone and character of the speech. The New York Evening Post remarks Mr. Sumner has at last waked up to a realisation that the taunts and insults, which have been heaped upon him so profusely, are Indignities towards the Commonwealth represented in his person, as well as to himself. He replied with much more than his accustomed spirit, and with considerable ability.

HU cool comparison of himself with Senator Butler was rather rich than otherwise. We have no doubt that Mr. Sumners remarks yesterday will materially increase the respect felt for him in the Senate and throughout the country. The New York Times thus speaks: Mr. Sumner in the Senate yesterday made very effective vindication of his position in regard to the recapture of fugitive slaves, it is not easy to see what limit the slaveholding oligarchy which has possession of the Federal Government will place to their exactions, wltcn they denounce as a traitor a Northern Senator who declares that he will not personally pursne, seize and return a fugitive from slavety.

The language used in the Senate in regard to Mr. Sumner by Messrs. Butler, Jones and Petit, was offensive and insulting to the last degree, not only to Mr. 8. personally, but to every Northern man who is unwilling to he made the mere tool of foe slave power.

Mr. Sumners manly and cogent rebuke will be read with interest. The New York Tribune says, Mr. Sumticrs speech yesterday. In reply to the personalities of Messrs.

Mason, Butler, and others of his calumniating opponents, is given at, length in our columns (his morning, and will Justly receive the attention of the whole public. It is a masterly and powerful vindication, marked at once by extreme severity, and perfect courtesy and dignity of manner. A more effective parliamentary rebuke of more unworthy assaults we do not remember. It will probably be some time before the offending parties repeat their acL Per contra, the New York Express asks: Why reproach the South with "bad faith, when our Senators In Congress openly acknowledge treason to the Constitution Why charge upon tho South violations of plighted faith," when wo are openly advertising ourselves as recognizing not even the fundamental law of the land? The Washington correspondent of foe Journal of Commerce alludes to the debate in the follow' lng terms: More temper has been exhibited in this than in any former of the six months discussions of the slavety question. It appears now that the slavety question is the only one that is ever again to engross the attention of Congress.

They can attend to no other business, while they have a chance to make excited harangues on this all-engrossing topic. I could not help noticing today in foe Senate Chamber, while the slavery discussion was goin on, in the worst taste as well as the wont feel ing, how some discreet and experienced Sena tors hung their heads in morufi cation, if not in despair. LITERARY INTELLIGENCE. John 22. BartUtt.

Bibliopoles who used to haunt the attractive bookstore under the Astor House, and members of ethnological societies curious in foe natural history of language, long ago discovered bow much there is of the exploring faculty and its genial spirit in John R. Bartlett This part of his personal friends will read with great interest the narrative of bis tour as United States Boundary Commissioner, just published In elegant style by D. Appleton ft Co. The work is a positive contribution to American literature. Prepared to observe and record foe facts of nature by, his previous studies, Mr.

Bartlett had the advantage of knowing precisely what intelligent men required in a book of this kind. He therefore, with rare Judgment, confined himself to fob standard. His book is not rhetorical or speculative; there is no pretension to elaborate science nor exaggeration of adventure; and yet the work is amply suggestive in all these respects; it is a conscientious, frill, accurate narrative of personal experience, patient an4ex tensive observation, duly recorded; and it constitutes a rich mine of valuable information whence the naturalist, the emigrant, and the historian, may derive the most original and reliable materials. We hope these faithful labors of John Bartlett will be justly appreciated, and that this will prove only foe commencement of his valuable revelations. It comprises Explorations and Incidents in Texas, New Mexico, California, Sonora, and Chihuahua.

The publishers have brought out the work in the best style. The maps, illustrations, and typography are excellenL Ticknor A Co. have 1L Abyssinia. Few countries have been leu hackneyed by tourist-writers than this; and we are glad that a description of its manners, scenery and customs has appeared from a capable pen. The two volumes called Life in Abyssinia," by Farkyns, which have been issued in so elegant a style, both of type and embellishments, by the Messrs.

Appleton, are replete with facts, varied with clear description, and abounding in novelty and interest. The author passed three years in the country, diligently, and as it appears to us, candidly observing all that took place around him; his account is curious and free from exaggeration; all readers will find something to their taste, for nature and man, the past and the present, are treated iff with equal care and fulness. No recent books of travel possess so much intrinsic attractiveness and new Information. For sale by Ticknor A Co. The Peteeshah Centennial.

This festival so interesting to the natives and inhabitants of this ancient town, occurs on Tuesday next. We reported In our paper, last week, a meeting of the Sons of Petersham resident in Boston, to moke arrangements for attending. We have learned from one of the citizens of Petersham that a very Interesting occasion is anticipated. The Centennial Discourse Is to be given by Rev, Edmund Burke Willson of West Boxbury, a native of the town and ton of the third minister. Rev.

Luther Willson. The town was an original grant of some six miles square, made by the General Court in 1733, to John Bennett and others as compensation for services rendered by them in the Indian wan, under Capt John White of Lancaster, and was known for several yean by its Indian name Nichewaugh. The land was excellent, foe original proprieton wealthy, and the settlement toon grew, although there were no settled towns nearer than Lancaster on the East, and Rutland on the outh-east and Brookfield on (he South. Worcester, 38 miles Southeast, had been incorporated forty-eight yean before. A church was erected, and tbo Rev.

Aaron Whitney was ordained the tint minister of Fe-tenham in 1738, six yean before the incorporation of the town. He was born at Littleton, graduated at II. U. in 1737, and died in 1779, in the sixty-ninth year of his age and forty-tint of his ministry. From Rev.

Dr. Lunts sermon preached at the funeral of his colleague, Rev. Mr. Whitney of Quincy, a grand-sou of the fint minister of Petersham, we learn that four generations of the family In an uninterrupted line have been represented in the ministry. The second son of Aaron Whitney wu Rev.

Peter Whitney, who wu born at Petersham, graduated at II. U. In 1763, ordained at Northboro' in 1767, and died therein 1810, in the seventy-second year of his age and the forty-ninth of his ministry. ne wu the author of foe History of Worcester County. His son Rev.

Peter lhitney, wu born at Northboro, graduated at n. U. in 1791, onlaiped at Quincy in 1890, and died there 1813, in the seventy-fourth year of his age and forty-fourth of his ministry, leaving two sou in the ministry, George who wu graduated H. U. in 1831, ordained at Roxbury in 1831, and died there in 1813 in the thirty-eighth year of his age and eleventh of his ministry, and Frederic A.

Whitney who wu graduated at II. U. in 1833 and settled at Brighton In 1813. We have been told that the medical profession hu furnished the longest line of successive generations; father and son, without a single interruption, pursuing the same through successive years. Will some one, curious in these matters inform us on the subject? From foe Memoir of Josiah Quincy, the Patriot of Revolutionary fame, we gather that (bur generations, in uninterrupted succession, from that family, were represented In the legal profession, namely: Josiah the subject of the memoir, of II.

U. in 1763, whose brother Samuel, of foe class of 1754, wu also a lawyer; Josiah, of H. 1790; Josiah and Edmund, brothers, of II. 1831 and 1825 and Josiah Phillips, of n. 1850.

The grand-father of Josiah Quincy, the patriot, wu also a lawyer; but the father, a graduate of U. U. in 1728, does not appear to have entered the law, and so we can count hero only (bur generations uninterrupted. Will some antiquarian give the longest list he can cite of fathers and sons who have fallowed the same profession without interruption! In each of the professions named above, the representatives of the successive generations have been graduates of Harvard University. We should like to know how long a list of fathers and sons, without an interruption, have been graduates at this oldest of our colleges.

EVENING TRANSCRIPT. FRIDAY ETENIKO, lUll GO, UM Three Date Well Used. It Is possible that many peraona deny themselves tbs privilege and pleasure of eeelng the grandest scenery in New England, by euppodng that a visit to the White limnnim requires more time than they can afford. Of course, a fortnight, or even a month, FiU bo (band short enough by any one who wishes to traverse all the roads, and explore the thousand by-ways of beauty which tasteful tout' lata have detected. But if a person has only three days to spare from business, he can team how profitably it is possible to invest them in a mountain visit, by the following facte-We left Boston on Monday morning, with a friend from New York, by the Boston and Maine Railroad, purchasing tickets at three dollars and a half each, for Gorham, N.

via Portland. The time rolled away as swiftly as the cars, while we mewed our acquaintance with Macaulay's magnificent essays on Clive and Warren Hastings. The Tauchnits edition In five volumes seems to have 1 devised for the comfort of railroad travellers. 2ding wu in order until we came within twenty-five mites of our destination; then we gave up our interest in the fortunes of Omi-ehnnd, Nuncomar, and the princesses of Onde, for the attractions of the Androscoggin valley, whose lowering hQla have witnessed, perhaps, Indian wrongs and Indian cruelties as heartless as those which Macaulay's pen and the eloquence of Burke have given permanently to literature. The cars are due In Gorham at Si F.

M. We were there on the minute. One may count on the fidelity of the trains on that perfectly managed Atlantic and 8b Lawrence road, as on a chronometer. Five oclock is early in these long June days, and after a few minutes' rest at the Alpine House, we took a wagon and were driven to the top of Randolph hill, betwoen four and five miles from Gotham, where foe whole northern base of the ML Washington range is seen sweeping np and splitting into the twin 'peaks of Madison and Jefferson. Our enthusiastic New York Mend declared that he was never to impressed, not even in tbo Crawford Notch, with the sub limltyofa mountain view.

It may be that pride of name prejudiced our friends Judgment, for he and the hill wear in common the name of Randolph. We regret that to few persons visit this pot Let all who stay Gorham, even for a day, remember it Two hours and a half will be ample for the excursion, and the road is excellent and lined with charming views. At half-past seven we were at the Alpine House, when an excellent supper awaited us. Theatrout were relished by the appropriate faculties as heartily as the grandeur upon which the mind had feasted on Randolph hill. In fact the pleasures are slightly kindred, the one dental, the other transcendental.

We found the hotel in admirable order. Never have the arrangements been so ample for the accommodation and service of guests. We have vlsitedjnll the villages, and public houses in the neighborhood of the mountains, and have found none ftnm which so many delightful drives can be taken, and so much mqjesticseenery enjoyed, as fromMr. Hitchcocks house in Gorhiun. We think that a great mistake was made in not placing the hotel either a mile above or a quarter of a mile below, where foe great summits could be seen from the piazza.

But we believe it is beyond question that no position affords such opportunities as the Alpine House and its vicinity for those fascinating wagon-pictures the luxury of motion In a mountain air added to the charm of viewing the shifting disposition of the hills into new Jandseapes, which are the glory of a visit to the hills. For ourselves we should prefer to pass a week In Gorham, for the sake of its drives, to the same time either at tho Glen House or the Notch. Tuesday morning we started for the Glen. The air was delicious, bat heavy mists hung sullenly on the great range, as though determined to defeat any hopes of pleasure in seeing them that day. Sp we drove on, three miles beyond the Glen House, to the wild Ellis Cataract; and the romantic Crystal Fall.

Returning to dine at the Glen House, we found the mists driven from Madison and Adams, and trailing their gossamer robes up the steep cones of Jefferson and Washington. What a luxury it was to sit for two hours of the afternoon upon a hill-side above the plendid hotel, and gaze upon that panorama! Either motion or mists are essential to give life to hill scenery. We could appreciate the height of the tallest summits as the vapors lifted themselves with such effort and tried to scale them, but fell back defeated, and then broke away around the slopes, disclosing all the outline but foe points of the peaks. The range seems very much more mqjcstie in such weather than on cloudless days. An October day, when summer warmth lies on the sheltered slope of a little hill, and the pomp of Autumn is wrapped around the body of the mountains, and the first snow has left a thin white stain over the rough pinnacles, and foe clouds and crests just meet, is the time to enjoy to the foil the grandeur and loveliness of the Glen.

8uch a day rose in our memory, and dimmed a little the Impression made by the glory of June. Our grey Canadian ponies took ns back towards the Alpine House with a will. It is a descending road towards Gorham, and thorough repairs this spring have put it in perfect order. We were hurried a little too fast through the clearings of the finest where the mountains break upon the sight in new tableaux but we had time enough before supper to trot the hardy little span down upon the road towards 8helburne, and look again upon tho proportions of ML Madlsqn, which isolates itself at that point from its fraternity, and presents the most striking and splendid picture, we believe, which New England affords. After supper, a sunset view from a hill near the Alpine House, of foe great summits dyed in purple and overhunq by amber clouds, crowned the crowded pleasures of foe day.

The cars leave Gorham for Boston at half past 9, A. M. But wo were not to be robbed of a visit to Berlin Fails. Sown started at 7, and after a most charming ride of six miles up the banks of the Androscoggin, (which, however, couldnt coax us with its music to keep our eyes off the peaks of Moriah and Carter, Jutting up behind ns from a bank of fog, and floating green in the sky,) wo reached the Fails, and rambled an hour along the steep banks, watching foe logs leap foe rapids, and congregate lazily in the quiet water below. At a quarter past nine the whistle of the train from Montreal called us from the roar of the cataract and made us feel the attraction of Boston and business.

The great hills threw off their mantles of vapor and looked proudly upon us as the can rushed by- From foe rear of the last car a most glorious sight of Madison, with a belt of cloud dividing bis mass midway, started out by way of farewell greeting as we approached the depot at Shelburne; and then there wu nothing to prevent a relapse into Macaulay and "As You Like It." But for an accident at Wells, which threw the train off the track, demolished (ha engine but fortunately cost no life, we should have --n jn Boston at 7 P. M. As it wss, we arrived about 11 of Wednesday night, braced and inspired for foe duties of Thursday. It is our custom now to measure distance by hours and not by mil-. It is worth while, therefore to know that the most mqjestic scenery of New England lies within a three days absence from the city.
