It calculates upon a victory over Mr. Drown, because he has been fortunate in obtaining favors from the democratic party. This is pitting hi own popularity against him. It is not nt all likely that t!ic Journal will be gratified.

Thompson, Esq., h is been appointed Receiver of the Land ülliceat this j place lien James P. Dkake, removed. This seems to i surprise a great many persons of both parties, persons who placed confidence in den. TyIor's repented j declarations in relation to appointments and removals; ' nod it serves to hmv, in somo decree, how much the j hypocritical cant, to lavishly put frth about ltms- ' ty caincity, and fidelity " is worth. Tlie guillotine is in motion, the work of proscription fur opinion's sake has row fairly commenced, and will, according to present indications, be carried out to an extent hitherto unprecedented. The Washington papers are filled with lists of new appointments, and it is very evident that the solemn d-clariitions of (Jen. Taylor, repeatedly made, are not tu tc observed. Indiana, particularly, peems to be receiving his early and special attention. Her democratic otlico Judders, we are assured, ask no favors nt his hands, and can well atDrd to defy his malice.

(Irigg, Rlliot (jo., of Philadelphia, for a copy of this, excellent Geography just issued from their press; it has received the hihtbt recommendation nnd the, warm approval of many competent persons, teachers, and others. The work is fully illustrated u ith diagrams atid maps, and ' js embellished with many handsome and appropriate cuts. Its general arrangerntnt if superior to uny other Geography extant. The Atlas and the Geography are combined ; a scries of questions is published with the text and in immediate proximity to the answers, but so arranged ns not to interfere with the narrative. The book is published in quarto form and by this means the inconvenience and expense- of having the maps in a separate volume ar-j avoided. Teacher and trustees of public schools would do well to cull and examine the work. Messrs. Davis &. Ray of this place have the Geography for sale and would be happy to subject it to the examination of parents, teachers, and the friends of education generally. Secretary Kwing has occupied himself in providing his relatives with fat otlices, since his own appointment in the cabinet. Hi brother-in-law, father-in-law and son, have been the recipients of Iiis favors. All right: "He that provideth not for his own household has denied the faith, (whig faith) and is worse than an infidel. The Mf.thodi-t C.iukch Property Question. We learn that the RalMnore annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal C. lurch has unanimously passed a resolution authorizing and recommending that the properly question, in dispute between the northern and .outheru branches of the church, be submitted to arbitration.

The New York Journal f Coiiirnerce truly says there is something inexplicable in the reverence paid by men to honors won in badlr. The world's history appear, imh-ed, to be preserved rather in the history of battle-fields, than in any other way. It is very true that the Struths of man with his fellow man have been incessant, and tht contest for power or fame makes up the daily current of political events: but that will hardly account for the fact that while a few men worship at old shrines of learning ami d" homage to the divinity dwelling in them, by fir thj greater portion of the race are h-otter satifid with viewing battle fields and relics of hard blows, battered swords and (shields, and the like evidence of man's hatred to man. Few who vUit Greece, care to search out tie; favorite resorts of the old philosophers; bit all rush to Marathon or Thermopylae. Even in countries made interesting by inmltfii events, few care to remain for any rreat length of time m the houses of great or good men, or to tread on ground hallowed by the footsteps of departed worthies, while the miss pour steadily to Waterlot, to Ctillodcn, Marston Moor, and a hundred similar places, renowned as soil fertilized by the blood of ne'ü. If further illustration of the fact that men worship military glory were needed, it tnay b" found m the attention paid to soldiers who have fought bravely, compared with that paid to men who are only known as giants in intellect; but the fact is too notorious to need proof. An illustration is a Horded by an anecdote of Kosciusko in his retirement, not long before, his death. He then resided in a cottage in a village of France; and during the invasion of France, a Polish regiment from the Russian army passed through the village. Some outrages were committed by the soldiery, at.d Kosciusko, an old and feeble man, came out of his cottage and addrosed them. "Wiiou I was a Polish soldier," id he, "wo did not do thus.' t4Wl o are you tli.it pprak fo boldly .'" risked an officer very rudely. "I nm Kosciusko," was the quiet reply. The name rnn from rank to rank, from corps to corps, until it grew to a shout of intense devotion, nnd, the march abandoned, nil gathered in a mass around the Veteran defender of Poland. I'o-sMbly it may be paid that he was venerated as a statesman. Doubtless he was by some, but the soldiers remembered the General. In our own county, the passion for military renown has increased rapidly. It is a question of serious moment to the philanthropist, whether this is not likely to produce dangerous reults. Rhode Islani. The recent election in Rhode Island has resulted in tili election of the whi" candidate fr Governor, by u majority of 110(1, uver all. Tayl r's majority over all 111 November was ,4'o. The whig candidate for Congress in the eastern district is elected. There is no election in the western district. The vote stood Thur.-ton, dem., 2,()(7 ; Shearman, whig, 1J-V! ; Hall, Ml ; scattering,"; a majority of all the Votes given being required. A second trial will be made, and Thur-ton will be elected. S say the Rhode Island papers. There is hope of Rhode Island yet. Shu is like the Quaker's horse, however, hard to catch, and not worth much after she is caught.

"Accordingly, he met General Seott, afier the congregation was dismissed, in the most friendly manner, .shook him cordially hy the band, nnd evinced a degree of pleasure nt th" nw?ting which could only have been demonstrated in a stronger manner, by publicly embracing! That he did not think was called for. The interview in presence of the congregation, terminated by the President inviting Gen. Scott to call upon him. "On the following day Gen. Scott called nt the President's, and c-nt up his card. Two gentlemen were with the President when it was received, and, instead of inviting Gen. Scott to conn? up to him in his oft'ce, which is up stairs, he proinp.lv sent a message to the General, inviting him to go into his private parlor below, when he would join him with the Ieat poiblo delay. 1 Vilhin Jtr-' ::n utes he dismissed the gentlemen with him, and went d nvn stairs to receive lien.
