Wail, 472 Brosaway | Summasy of the Latest Intelligence. We learn from the best authority, that Gerrit Smith, the notorious fanatic aud xbolition- ist, hes eddiesved a ciroular to his brother disorgenizers throughout the North, in which he csenils the government and the church im the most violent terms, and recommends the | holding ¢f enother Buffalo convention. Tt is eharacteristically violent and abusive, and is re- plete wih the usval quantity of blasphemy, infidel ity, oyrerianism and violence, which mark the /itionists of this State. All nity of Gerrit Smith and his as- secintes, in the work of destruction ia which they proceedings of th it ebows is the ia have engeged, but which, under heaven, they wil! never accomplith. The public mind has beea awakened toa sense of the reality of the ultimate designs of (he abolitioniets, whether of the dyed- in-the-wool or striped character. The ravings of ics go for nothiag, while their ce-labor- ere, the Sewards end Giddingses and Hales, will be properly atiended to, aud in due time silenced, if they have not already been shut up. Amid the cries of disunion and secession which are continually reachiog us from South Carolina and Mirsiseippi, it is pleasant to hear the voice og patriotism. The Governor of Ohio speaks a few words of truth and soberness to the people of that State, and warns them against following in the wake of the ultrasof South Carolina. He delivered hie inaugural address on Thureday lsat, and we are Fejoiced to see that the sentiments which it embo- there fa that way, are nothing to those that would be im- parted by the appearancs of the Pennsylvania in the Thames, with the stars and stripes proudly floating from the mast head. Witness the effect which the Collins’ line of steamships has produced. It cannot be controverted that the United States gained immeasurably in European reputation by the gigantic size, splendor and speed of those noble vessels, appropriate types as they are, of the energy ot our merchant princes, as well as of the gran- deur of our country. The object of selecting a government vessel is not to save freight to the ex- hibitore—that is a trifling matter—but to give dig- nity and importance to the United States, and to the ingenuity of our mechanics, manufacturers, and industrial classes grnerally. If Congress were to consult the wishes of the people, we are satisfied they would appropriate sufficient money to fit out the Pennsylvania for this purpose, at ance. The Military Spirit In New York—The Tar- get Companics en Thanksgiving Day. The great number of target companies that turn- ed out, im this city, on Thanksgiving Day, has sug- gested to us a few observations. One of the most remarkable things that strikes a stranger from monarchy-ridden Europe, on visiting this city, is the martial array that everywhere nieets his eye. Itis true, he sees but little of the reguiar army—the paid soldiery of the United States government—but he ean scarcely be an hourin New York before he witnesses evidences ofthe voluptery military spirit. If he does not happen upon rome of our enrolled militia campa- nies, with their beautiful uniforms and equip- mente—all purchased at the expense of the wear- ere, aod Costiog, upon an average, a hundred dole lars each—he is sure to fallin with a target com- pany under ezms, either wearing uniform or citi- zen’s dresee—black frock coats and pantaloons, or a fantastic, variegated, multiform, beggaring des- scription; while a terget, decorated with flowers, is borne on the shoulders of a splendid specimen of the negro race, to be shot at for a prize, or for glory alone; or, mayhep, the target is on its retara from the excursion and presents meny striking evidences of the marksmanebip of the youthtul corps. The stranger elares at (bis, to him, strange sight; and ifhe refleets at all, he cannot but arrive at the cone}ution, that a world in arms could not conquer suche country. The babe imbihes the military spirit with hie mother’s milk, while he turns his headaside to lirten to the music of a passing military baad Searcely hes the young idea begun to bud, when the pastion for arms is manifested, and the boy who hes only got trousers upon him, looks forward to the fourth of July, when he shali tire his pistol, or tiny cannon, in commemoration of the day on which the independence of the country was declaredé—an independence maintained and wen by the blood and valor of his encestors. This inspired with patriotism, his ambition is to become @ member of a gallant target company, and if persible, a lieutenant or a captain. His next thought, perhaps, isto go a step higher, and joina | militia Corps, or it may be that his attachment to his target company is eo great that he would not exchange his post for membership in the most dashing militia company in the city. Atfall events, he loves all thatis military, end if the honor or denger of his country calls him to arms, he will ruth to the battle field, resolved to conquer or die. The bravest spirits in the Mexican campsiga, the youth who flung themselves into “ the imminent deadly breach” or stormed the blazing artillery of | the foe, or tore down his standard from the sum- | mit of his stronghold, and planted in its stead the | dies are of the right stamp—that he is a thorough Union and constitution man. necessary to express his opinion of the Fugitive Slave law, and declared it constitutional, and should be obeyed. This will donbtless check fanaticism in Ohio, and bring back such persons in that State as have been misled by a false philanthropy, toa sence of their duty as citizens of the republic. No business of importance was transacted ia the House of Representatives yesterday. The Senate adjourne i on Thursday to Monday. There was some excitement in the Georgia con- vention yesterday, in consequence of a delegate, of the name of Sewerd, having offered, for the adop- tion of that body, a preamble and resolutions of an ultra character—the preamble based on a disunion speech delivered by Mr. Toombs, and the resolu- tions being of the same deecription. Both were rejected by a large majority. This tells well for Geor and shows, if we wanted additional proof of it, that she is in favor of the Union. It would seem that the Sewards, North and South, are dis erganivers. They are a promising set of fellows, wherever they are, and seem to take pleasure ia doing all they can towards ruining their country. The edict, however, has gone forth that they shall_ fail. We understand, by telegraph, that encoureging advioes have been received from the Commiseion- ers appointed to proceed to Bogland, to eolicit aid from the British government in constructing the Halifax and Portland railroad. If this road sheuld be constracied, there will be a continuous com- munication by rail between Washington and Heli- fax, passing through Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Portland. The cold weather of the last few days has, it appears, interfered with the navigation of the Hud- son river. Inaday or two, ne doubt, traffic will be entirely euspended on that noble stream. ‘The Great Industrial Exhibitien of 1951— The Worid tn a Crystal Palace. Some chort time eince, we published in our co- Dames ajvariety of extracts from the journals of England, giving iofomnation concerning the great imdustrial exhibition of 1851, which we thought ‘would interest our readers, and especially such of ‘them as intended to send to the great fair speci- mmens of their own industry, ingenuity and handi- ‘work. From the satisfectory manaer in which Ney were received, and from the interest which ‘y excited and with which they were read, we ‘duced to publish in te-day’s Herald, several val extracts from the same sources, giving “tof the progress of the great building ~h the manufactures of all nations are “@ next year, and a variety of other ‘eh we doubt sot will be acecepts- val of interest felt as to whether ‘ennsylvania will be selected ‘ducts to the great fair, As ‘o form an opinion on the ‘aine-tenths of the peo 4 specimen of naval “hat purpose.

No men in the world make such soldiers as firemen. Accustomed to respond promptly to the call of danger, toquit the pillow at the hour of mid. night, to endure the extremes of heat and cold, to brave peril without fear or reward, to obey the or- ders of their leaders, and to actin concert together, they arethe most formidable foe in the field that ever levelled a musket or charged heme with the beyonet. Mere mercenaries could have no chance with such spirits as these. Yet, how would Europeans,like the British Army Deapatch, sneer atthe idea of mechanics, and la- borers, and clerks, being the captains and lieu- tenants of these target companies! The officers are elected by the company, and the best men are chosen, without the slightest regard to class, or rank, or wealth; and often, the man who is highest in these respecte, occupies the lowest position in the company, and shoulders his musket as a private, though perhaps he subscribes very largely to the ex- penses of the company for annual excursions, and other contingencies, It is curious how these companies are named. They take their designation from some great histo- tical character of whom the country is proud, or, perchance, from some distinguished man of the day, or, lastly, from rome leader lecally popular, but scarcely known beyond the precincts of his own ward. The following list, taken from the files ofthe Herald for the last three months, will give the reader some idea of the number of these com- | Lamp But axp 1rs AMENDMENT.— In ‘and bustle which characterized the last session of Congress, the Bounty Land bill ‘was passed in a very imperfect form, and neods some patching and amending before the intent and meaning of Congress can be carried out, The mis- take arose from a commendable desire on the part of Congress to so frame it (that ite benefits would be extended to the deserving persons for whose re- lief it was passed, and that the warrants might not get into the hands of speculators. It prevents the transfer of warrants, and obliges the parties receiv- ing them to locate their own lands. It is very ab- surd to attempt to make people take care of their property by law, or by act of Congress; and a gift thus hampered and hedged around by law, is worth but little to the possessor. It is very evident that a great many of the claimants are unable to undergo the expense and labor of locating their lands, and in many instances, we have no doubt the bounty would be considered inadequate for doing so. An- other defect in the bill is, that, as it now stands, it compels the claimants to pay cash, in advance, to agents for securing the warrants. On the whole, aa the bill was framed, however good aad praise- worthy the motives of the legislature were, it amounts to but lite, and unless amended will be comparatively worthless. It is to be hoped, there- } fore, that Congrees will give their attention to the subject at as early a day as possible. By the way, we have not had, as yet, muchc ause to praise the present Congress for industry, or a de- sire to get through with the business awaiting their ection. They have been in session several days, and to this time they have done nothing of any consequence. The holidays will be upon us ina few dayr, and if the intervening time be not pro- fitably employed, there will be nothing done until after New Years. We are sorry to be obliged to find fault Bo early in the session, but are really de- sirous of having the business of the country trans- acted as expeditiously as possible. Idleness will | only give the agitators and fanatics, in bots houses, an excuse for throwing tirebrands into Congress, and renewing as far as they can, the deplorable scenes of the last session. There are a great many | valuable and important measures which require | immediate action, end on tbe propriety of the parsege of which there is not, we believe, in Con- greee, or among the people, a diversity of opinion | worth caring for. Why not attend to them before Christmas? The roast beef and plam pudding will | taste better after a few days of such work.
