PATRICK HENKY; Yerj little is known of the most eloquent orator of our revolutionary history, one who derived all hit power from original genius, and the study of nature and of men, and bad no acquaintance with books. The following sketch of his char, acter and habits, Mr. Webster received from Mr. Jefferson, and is found in the recently published volumes of Mr. Webster's correspondence: Patrick Henry was originally a barber. lie was married very joung, and (joing iuto some business on his owa account, was bankrupt before the year was out. When .. I was about the of fifteen, I left the school here to fro to col-lejre at Williamsburg. I stopped a few days at a friend's in the county of Louisa. There I first saw and became acquainted with Patrick Henry. Having spent the Christmas holidays there, I proceeded to Williamsburg Some question arose about my admission, as my preparatory studies had not been pursued at the cboot connected with the institution. This delayed my admission about a fortnight, at which time Ilenry appeared at Williamsburg, and applied for a license to practice ' law, having commenced the study of it at, or subsequently to the time of meeting bun at Louisa. There were, tour examiners Wythe, Peadletown, Peyton Randolph and John Randolph. Wythe and Pen-dleton at once rejected his application. .The two Randolphs, by his importunity, were prevailed npoo to sign the license; and having obtained their signatures, he again applied to Pendleton, and after mnch entreatj, and many promises of future study, succeeded in obtaining his. He turned out for a practical lawyer. The first case which brought htm into notice was a contested 'election, ta which he appeared as counsel in the House of Buraresaes. His secoud was the Parsons case, already well known. These and similar effort soon obtained tor him so much reputation, that he was elected a member of the Legislature. He was as. well suited to the times as any man aver was, and it is not easy now to say what we shon'd have done without Patrick Henry He was Cur before all others in maintaining the) spirit of the revolution, nis influence was most extensive among the members from the upper ooanties, and his boldness and their votes overawed and controlled the more cool, or the more timid aristocratic gentlemea of the lower part oftbo sta'e. 5 His eloquence was peculiar, -'.

Neither in politics nor bis profession was he a man of bosiness; he was a man of debate only. His biographer says he read Plotarch every year. 1 doubt whether he ever read a volume of it in his life. His temper was excellent, and he generally observed decorum ia debate. On one or two occasions I have seen him angry and his anger was terrible ; those' who witnessed it were not disposed to rouse it again. In his opinions he was yielding aad practicable, and not disposed to differ from his friends. In private conversation he was agreea ble and facetious, and while in genteel society, appeared to understand all the decencies and proprieties of it; but in his heart he preferred low society, and sought it as often as possible. He would hunt in the pine woods of Fluvanna with overseers, and people of that description, living in a camp for a fortnight at a time, without a change of raiment. I have often been astonished at his commaod of proper language; how he obtained a knowledge of it, I never could find out, as be read so little and conversed so little with educated men. ( After all, it must be allowed that be was ocr leader in the measure, of the Revolution in Virginia. In that respect more was due to him than any other person. If we had not had him, we should have probably have got on pretty well, as you did, by a noraber . of men of nearly equal talents; but be left us air far behind. His biographer sent the sheets of bis work to me as they were printed, and at the end asked for my opinion. I told him it would be questioned hereafter whether his work should be placed on the shelf of history or panegyric. It is a poor book, written in bad taste, and gives so imperfect an idea of Patrick Henry, that it seems intended to show off ti:e -writer more than the subject of the work. passing knfs. Terrible Tragedy. Murder in Washington Fall Particulars. A Member qf.Conjreta ShooU an U. S. District Attorney aiui ts Arrested for Murder! , WjisHiKOTox, Feb. 20. The community was thrown into an intense excitement to-day by the killing of Phillip Barton Ky, United States District Attorney for the District of Columbia, at the hands of Hon. Daniel E. Sickles, member of Congress from the 3d district of New York. According to the report, Mr. Sickles, becoming convinced of the tmth of certain scandalous rumors iuvolving his wife, resolved to redress bis wrongs. About two o'clock, this afternoon he proceeded from his residence, near the President's House, to the southwest corner of Lafayette -Square, in the same neighborhood , where Key was engaged in conversation with Mr. Butter-worth, of N.Y. He charged Key with having dishonored him and destroyed his domestic peace, and immediately shot him with a revolver, one of the balls eute ring tha h-ft side of the bocy and passing through , the correspoading point on the opposite side, lodging under the akin. , Another shot took effect in the right thigh near the main artery. Key, in falling, implored Sickles not to kill him. The third shot was iu the right side, glancing from tha body and bruising it, of which wounds death ensued in a few moments. The body was taken into tha National Club House. The coroner immediately summoned a jury, and the inqnest was continued for several hours. A verdict was rendered, merely stating that the death was caused from the effects of pis tol shots as above stated, fired by Hon. D. E. Sickles. Crowds of persons gathered in tha vicinity of the club house during the day, anxiously inquiring into all the circumstances of the eveot. - After Mr. Sickles had killed Key, he repaired to the resideoce of Attorney General Black, when be was advised to deliver himself into the hands of the officers, who conveyed him to jail, to which he was committed for further examination. To-morrow the facts which led to the tragedy will, probably, judicially transpire. The in quisition of the coroner was merely with refer ence to the causes which prod need the death. Wasbixotov, Feb. 28. The Washington correspondent of the Time gives the following account of the domestic diffi culties of Mr. Sickles which led to the killing of Mr. Key. On Friday Mr. Sickles received an anonymous letter stating with precesion so minute as to make suspicion imperative, that Mr. Key had rented a house on Fifteenth street above K street, from a negro woman, and that he was in the habit of meeting Mrs. "Sickles there two or three times a week or oftener. . Tha person and dress of Mrs. Sickles were accurately described and the usual time of tha interviews specified. Accompanied by a friend, Mr. Sickles went to the house designated, and found every statement af tha anonymous writer corroborated. Mr. Key tad taken the house and ha had constantly met there a lady answering very closely in description to Mr. Sickles. - Mr. Sickles still clang to the hope that tha person who. stooped to the baseness of making such charges under tha veil of secrecy might have thoroughly deceived him, and that Mrs. Sickles was not tha lad in question. , Ha accordingly requested his friend, Mr. George Wooldridga, of New xork, to watca taa place trota tha window of a house just opposite. On Saturday no meet ing took place, and. the woman in charge seems to have stated that none had occurred since Wed nesday. On Saturday evening Mr. Sickles re solved no longer to p!sy tha py spon his honor. and determined to coalront tls'wifa clrtctly with his tortilla suspiciooa. VAt fcreV ZIra, Sickles trongly denied her t&X but on ter-.tusband' asking her whether, on tha YTefnesJaj preTloua she had not entered the hotua oa FUlsenti street in a certiia partlci!ar dress, and concealed Ij a hood, sLo ciied oat, "I aiabctrsyed and lost," aad swoQcil awsy.: Oa rscoverie tet f :-ses, she sJd ter g:, t.zi tcssrt aercy end paraon.. iir.McJOea calmly said.ta wosld not injur bar, sine b believed tar the victim of a scoundrel, but that te tad a right to a fall con fession. ' Two ladies ia tha tons 'were jent tat as witnesses, and ia their presence Mrs. Sickles made a fall confession in r writing, stating that her connection with Mr. Key tad eommeno- ed in April last, onder Mr. Sickles' roof, bet that Mr. Key tad since tired the bouse in Fifteenth street, in wiichthey had constantly met. Mrs. Sickles' eonfession was made ia the midst of the bitterest contrition and misery. Her husband simply asked her to give him back her wedding ring, and desired ber to write to her mother to come and take ter from his house forever. Mrs. Sickles made no objection, admitting the justice of ter punishment in the most affecting Ian ga. - . Hon. Robert J. Walker and Messrs. Carlisle and Rateliffe have been retained as his counseL Application will be made by Mr. Sickles for a writ of habeas corpus, with a view to procure his release oa bail to await his trial. His wife exonorates him from ail blame,' and he has the general sympathy of the community. In the Circuit Court this morning, Mr. Carlisle announced tha death of Philip Barton Key, late District Attorney for the District of Columbia. While eulogizing the deceased as a courteous, frank and open-hearted gentleman, te forbore to speak of the cause which led to his death, as that was a subject for judicial investigation. The Court paid a similar compliment to the deceased and in token of respect,-adjourned till Thursday. Washivotov, 10 P. M. The examination in relation to the killing of Phillip Barton Key did not take place to-day as was anticipated. Mr. Sickles has retained as his counsel Mr. Stanton of Pittsburgh, Chilton Rat-cliff and report says others, including David Paul Brown of Philadelphia. " Through the intervention of a friend Mr. Sickles has consented for the present that Mrs. Sickles and their child should remain with her mother, who was yesterday telegraphed for aad is expected to arrive here to-day. :-. The jail was to-day visited by many of Mr. Sickle's friends. t Numerous teports are afloat concerning all the parties, having the effect to aggravate the facts, already painfully distressing, and many of these rumors are pare fiction. Tmth About the Kansas Gold Uinei Lets Exciting Accounts. ; ; The Missouri Democrat publishes several letters from the gold mines, giving accounts which should coel off to some extent those who have the gold fever. We publish one written by a St. Lonisian: ' AoaAaia Crrr, K. T., Jan. 19, '59. Some persons have already commenced working in the mines, but so far it pays poorly. Diggers who have been the most successful have not averaged three dollars per dy, and soma have not made fifty cents, working hard at that The gold is very fine. It takes from 20 to 25 particl s to make the value of a cent. The largest speck I bare heard of, will nut weigh mora than 25 cts in value. All the large lumps that yon have received in St. Louis, as Pike's Peak gold, was never Obtained in this region they belong to California. All the accounts of gold findings of an extravagant character are the fabrications of speculators. J wish to put yon and others on their guard against these stories; especially Gen. Larimer's account. I will venture to say that be does not know anything about tha matter. ' I have not found a good prospect yet; and I am on the ground. I venture the prediction that few persons will make fortunes hunting gold in this country. But as "seeing is believing," let all who wish to have a sight at the "elephant" come on. I am beginning to get a view of him. : There are more than two hundred cabins built here, aud two hundred more are to be erected before the last of Mareh. A good hotel will be ready for "the boarders" by the end of May It is to be two stories high, seventy-five - feet in width, and one hundred and twenty feet in length. Speculators era already busily engaged in laying off cities around the diggings, and they are tha fellows who are sending to the States such glowing accounts of gold discoveries. If enough gold is not found before the latter part of Mar, many now here will go to California. New Mexico and Arizona, while not a few will pitch their tents in this new region for life. As I am writing, I tear that there. is an affray going on about two squares from ray Cabin. Three or four men have got into a quarrel and the reports of pistols are distinctly heard. If; anybody baa been hurt, I will write yon tha particulars.The principal amusement here, during the win-l ter, has been card . playing, telling yarns aad drinking most execrable whisky. The latter is worth $10 per gallon in St Louis it would cost 25 eents! 1 must not omit to tell jou that I have not seen a white woman since I left the States. i : - H. L. BOLTON.

' ; ... - ', The Zanesville Cvurier applies the robbery of the Coshocton Treasury an argument against the Sub-Treasury system. . Now, by the same logic tha above named Bank robbery is a tremendous argument against the Banking system. This ought to cure the logical colic of the Courier on the principle of "Similia aimUibu curantur interesting Balloon Voyaff a Europe Aerial Ship. From the Trey Times, Feb. 19th. Mr. John La Mountain is busily engaged in this city in making preparations for tha construction of the balloon with which he hopes to be able to cross the Atlantic during the coming season. For two weeks, one of Dutcber's oatent .... machines, at the rope and cordage works, has been used in making the twine to be used for the net ef the ship.- This is about one-tenth of ao inch in thickness, and composed of thirty-sis strands of tha very best Holland linen, carefully selected . from' the stock of the Mechanieville Thread Mills. 1 It was necessary to caare the machine and drills in order to turn out cord of the required size. That produced is remarkably beautiful ia its make as smooth and even as woven silk. Its strength may be inferred from the fact that it will resist a steady strain of three hundred pounds. ;yV;; " The silk for tha balloon baa been selected from a recent importation from the East Indies at New York. It Is remarkable for the strength and firmness of Us fibre, whfli at the same time it is as light as any in market -The balloon Is to-be constructed at Lancaster, Pa upon the frames and with the apparatus used by Mr. Wise, the fatter of aeronautics, for the per pose. It will probably be completed early in May. ".The first trial trip will be made from Chiflilarriog tbe latter part of that month and Mr La Lean tain designs crossing one of the . lakes and traveling at least one thousand miles over the Continent . - Whatever may be thought of the practicability of tis scheme, he has entered into it with a hearty earnestness wtiet proves that he believes its accomplishment practicable; and is prepared to risk everything in the venture, with so possible hope of making anything unless he succeeds. In this nineteenth century it will not do to laugh at any proposition, however absurd it may seem. We can, therefore, only wait; and we shall see what we shall see. If Mr. La Mountain should cross the Atlantic with an serial ship, his name will of course go down to posterity with those of the most famous men; if he does not, he will, it is to be feared, share the' fate of those who go down te the sea in ships." ; ;. : :y Death of the 'Historian HaUacu Henry Hallam, the historian, died iq London, January 22d.

Upon the Kansas case they voted' unanimously for tha Crittenden and Montgomery amendments, by which a slave State was to be admitted, provided tha people ratified the constitution. Upon the Oregon question the Republicans, and their organs are all at sea without sail or rudder. The New York Tribune denounces the the admission of Oregon. The New York Post defends it Tha Boston lice and Atlas, edited by Colonel Schouler, raves against the admission, and is especially savage at Eli Thayer, who voted for it The National Era takes the other track, and contends, that tha bulk ef the Republicans made a great mistake in opposing the reception of the free Stat of Oregon, Into the Union. The same Babel and-eonfosion prevail upon the subject of a protective tariff. The Trihune and th Boston Bet and Atlas are for a high protective tariff: -The New York Fast denoaneee it, as the 'most ruinous," nojust and profligate measure that can be devised. Oar Ohio Republicans succeed in being wholly in tte wrong, aad against the. in terests of our people oa all point. W sever saw a party so invariably successful in finding but the foolish and mischievous side, and taking it, as our Ohio Republicans. .Instead ef going; for free Oregon with the Pott and Era, they- clamor with all their might against it, and put themselves at thehead and front of th foolish and bigoted opposition, Iastftad ef advocating a fair and wis system of fiscal duties, such as is calculated to advane allka all th interests of agriculture, commerce and manufactures, in all sections of .the country, they are found ignoraatly demanding a monopoly for th producers of a few articles, to the manifest injury of all other pro. dueers, including all their eonstituen ,- Statesman. v ' ' ' . : : ..

"To (U Editor of the Statesman To insure the success of our ticket ia th coming campagn, it behooves us to select as our candidates tried me. "At no period since the organization of tha State ha there been a time when the publiq woqld more closely scrutinise the character and capability of their candidates.
