216 Putnam's Magazine, for February, confirms the remark that we made a short time since, that this pubiication was assuming too mach of a poli:ical ovaracter. The present number contatns three arti- cles, one on foreign and two on home policy, which are not marked either by any gieat originality of thought or strength of reasoning. We regret to ae thia excellent periodical abandoning the field which it had ao legitimately and usefully cc -upied to wan. der into political speculations, from the apprehended consequences of which its conductor is frequsatly obliged to safeguard bumselt by disclamatory foot notes. Is had better leave political polemica to the newspapers, whcse proper business it is, and confine iteelt so sccientifis and artistical dilletani-ism, in which it more espec'ally excels. Its “Diplomacy aod Cannon Balis’’ is not likely to exercise any very decided influence on the decision of the Rus- sian question, ard its ‘Progress of our Political ea,” only leads to the conciusion that our body politic is irredeemably corrupt. We tarn wil pleasure from these rifaccimenti of stale newspaper topics to such articles as those of ‘‘Nature im Mo- tion” and “Mining Varieties.” If papers of this stamp do Rot aiways present us with new facts, they bave at least the merit of giving a fresh and attrac- tive aepectto old ones. To many they wil) afford bot pleasure and instruction. Tne first of tnese srticles merits a few extracte: DISINTEGRATING ACTION OF THE GLOBA. Even at home, our owa great mother earth is not, as many stil believe, st rest, and its very founda- tions are every now snd then giving signs of the mysterious life woico is taroboing fa this vast globe, Meteorfo atones, salvo, come like seria: messeagers from oistart, uckpows spheres, and s,eak loudly of the life in spaces voknewo to buman vision. For stones travel as weli a8 lifeendowed organic bodies; they are, in fact, toe very oldest travellers on earth of whem we have avy koowlecge. Toe mountains are not éverlatting, and the sea is not eternal. ‘Thovsavde of years ugo rocks began to shiver in the fierce cold of tre Polar regions; even Sweden and Norwoy, Greenland and Spitzbergen became in- tolerable, and they set out on their Sree oun to the warmer South. Bat huge, un-sieldy travellers gs toey were, they sron tired and rested awhile in de, sandy wa:tes which stret sa through North- pe and Asis. Some, the large ones, re mained *2ere, bleak. blastes masses of rock, sterile aad stern, like grim giants of dark, old ages. Their ater companions, sinaller and swifter, rolled mer- aids the toot of mountains, and taere Science caiis them “ erratic’ now trem a3 “ foutdlings,” for they are, chiidrep, belonging to avother climate and a difkrentrace trem those whi.o surround them.

The very heaat of the globe is restless, Fased, molten stones are dra om their hidden resting viaces in the depths of the earth, pussed through fiery ovens, and et last, in fierce tury, thrown out of volcances, where, as lava streams they soon become eolid, fer- tile and fruitbearing, or form new mountains on lard, new ielands ‘1 the ocean.

Thus, stones travel on the back of icy waves f.om the mountain top to the foot of the A!ps, where they form gro- teeque groups ard loity ramparts, or lie scattered about on the plain, like the giant rocks of Stone benge. ‘They have, however, one mode ef travel unlike all other of locomotion, acd so mysterious, tha; oman has not yet fathomed its nature. Large manees of rock, namely, of truly gigantic di- mensions, when by # cident they fali into the deep crevices of these glaciers, return with quie* but irre: aistible to the surface, moving siowly, steadi- ly upward, “Thus not unfrequently vast pyramids or stately pillars of ice, broken joose from tae mother glacier, are seen standing in isolated grandeur, and crowncd with huge masces of atone.

Much bas been said and much has been qritten about flowers, these true and genuine children of mother earth, comirg directly out of her bosom, and ever busy to draw the air of peaven food for their erent parent. Ofsen have they been pitied because they are chained to the soil, whilst thetr own shadow, as in mockery, dances around them and marks the paseing hours of sunshine. Trees have been called he true symbols of that 1 ing for heaven which is innate in man’s soul. B for life to one smal spot on earth, they are unger as stretching out widely their branches, far beyond the reach of humb!e roots, trying. to embrace the balmy air, to drink in the gol light of the sun, and té arrest the very clouds in their aerial flight, But in reality plents travel tar and fast. It ia true they parte their jou mostly in the seed; but there is, perhaps, no cart kind of locomotion which they do not employ for their purpose. Wind and water, the beasts of the field and the winged creatures of heaven; above all, man himself—all have been pressed into their servica, to carry them from s€@ to sea, and from shore toshore. Countless wers of pature are in easantly at work to scatter ihe blessings of the vegetable world over the rations of the world. Almost one fourth of all plants upon earth bear seeds that are provided with wings, para- chutes or other contrivances, by means of which they may be carried on the wings of the wind to distant regious. Every brook and every river, even a shortlived rain, carry a thousand plants to remote countries. The great ocean itzelf, on its might; currents, bears fruits and nuts from island to ‘blend, and every coral reef in the South Sea is almost in- startly covered with a rich, luxuriant vegetation. New plants appear thus constantly woere they were formerly not found, wh'lst of the disappear- ance of vegetables there are but few isol in stances known. Tous, the Egyptian monuments have, in their quaint and well preserved paintings, three kinds cf sea rose; only two of these are now met with in Egypt or the adjoining countries; the esis not found there or anywhere over the wide world, Of the influence of climatic changes on these re- markable phenomena of vegetable life we are told that— Some plants literally conquer a country and baa- ish the native innabitants; others disap ear, net before enemies of their own race, but emigrate be- cause of climatic chi Palestine, which was once a land flowing with milk and honey, where the grape and the date abounded, is now utterly sterile. The spoiler is fallen uson her summer fruit and her Mago joy and giadaess are taken from the plentiful fie d, and her plants are gone over the sea. Our common clover has distinctly marked its tuavelling stations; requiriag muc2 moisture, it left Greece when her plains were scorched and wither- ed; Italy could not hold it, after revseated devasta- ticns, when it made its way into Southern Germa- ny; from thence it is even now grajually wauder- ing towards the moister regions of the north. No Pythagoras need forbid vis disciples now the use of the bean, for Egypt is no longer able to produce it. The wire of Mareotis, also, that inspired the guests of Cleopatra, and wh2se praises Horace hss sung in such graceful vereea, grows no more. The con- acierce stricken murderer would find no shelter, in our day, in the pine forests of Puseidon, where to lie in wait for the guests that wandered joyfull, to the great festivals of Greece; the pines have lon, since !efs the piain, with its hot, dry climate, an: moved up to the cooler mountains. Hanrrsr’s Story Booxs ror Cxipr3n continue to maintain their popularity. The last two issued —“Brevo and Willie,and the Mortgage” —are among the most attractive of the series. The object aimed at by these worke—that of making amusement a ve- hicle for instruction, is more happily carried out in these little tales, than in any other javenile pub:ica- tions that we are acquainted with. Murphy & Co., of Baltimore, have just published an abridgment of “Lingard’s England,” which, apart from its religious views, is jastly regarded as one of the best of the few good histories that have as yet been written of that country. The voluminous size cf the original work, will render this compression of ita coxtents useful to many. It is especially adapt éd fer the use of Catholic schools. “High Life in New York,” by Jonathan Slick,is one of those works which ¢e,eud rather on the reader’s local opportunities of appreciation than on their general fidelity to nature. It is, ia fact, more strict- ly entitled to the character of a literary caricature than to that of a successful delineation of real life, Viewed in the former light, it possesses some amuse ing features. The publichers are Bance & Brother. “Rumnell’s Diaries” and memorandum books for 1855, are among the best and most convenientiy arranged publications of the sort that havs been issued for this year. “ Tallia’s Street Views and Pictorial Directory of New York,” deserves to be largely patronised for the artistical fidelity and excellence of its en- gravings. No. 1 contains a fine view of Trinity chureb, wita about thirty others of almost equal merit. “ Jocelyn’s Mirror of Sebastopol and Map of the Crimea and Black Sea” will be found parti-ularly useful ata time when public attention is riveted on the shifting incicents of a campaiga which are likely to render all the localities laid down in this map points of stirring interest. Its low price, 25 venta, places it within the reach of all classes. The “ London Illustrated News,” in the hands of its active agents, Messrs. Willmer & Rogers, of Naseau street, is rapidly extending its circulation in this country. Ite magnificent engravings of the war, remarkable as they are both for their truthful- nees and artistic merit, have given it a world-wide popularity. * The new French paper, the Progrés is attracting attention by the ability and moderation with which it is conducted. Although its editor, M. Malespine, ard severe] ofits contributors, were connected with the Republicain, that derce advocate of eocialist and communist doctrines, they seem, by the new bap- tism which they nave giveo to that paper, to be de- sircus of abandoning the extreme ground which they bad previously occupied. A French journal, cca- ducted on the sound and rational principles of re- publicanism, bas fair chances of success here, and we congratulate M. Malespine and his coadjutors on the judgment they have evinced in their new en- terprise. “ American Law Register,” No.3, vol. 3, con- taina the decisions in the cases of the American Pin Company vs. the Oakville Company; Ketcham va. Bank of Commerce; Cadwalader vs. Montgomery, and Perry vs. Kinley. They are long and tedious and occupy nearly all the number. Would it not be well for the editor to abreviate all such prosy opinions? Let him look at the old Englisn ieci- sions, and prcfit by the example.

THE LAST OF THE HEROES OF ENNINGTON GONE. Captain Simeon Hicks, the last of Bthe Americans who were in the battle of Bennington, says the Troy Bi died at the revidence of his incson, Maynard Knig! in Sunderland, Vermcnt, on Wednesday, the Séth 4 aged ninety-nine years, five months and two days, He was borm in Hobarth, Mass., August 22, 1755, and was the eldest of twenty-two cbildren oy his father, who was twice married. Capt H. served In the revolutionary army at two or three different stages of the struggle— first under Washington at Cambridge and afterwards under Stark in 1777. He participat in all the strag- gles of the 1¢th of August, at Bennington, (Hoostck,) to the final and complete discomfiture of the British. During the greater part of that day he was ina the front rankgand in the hottest of the fight. At critical mo- ments, Starks’ position was near his company; many of bis comrades were shot down, eee others his right hand man. He was married in 1775 to a daughter of Capt. Constant Barney, of Concord, N. H., d after the close of the war settled in Sunderland, Vermont, where for more than leas hang he maintained the character of an industrious, honest and respectable citizen. Capt. H. was a remarkable man, Physically: for seventy re he bad no experience of bodily ailment—and his death, and extreme old age, was not attended by suffering or pain. Vitality and consciousness, gradually left him, 0 that the moment of his final departure was hardly perceptible. His remains have bad a quiet burial among the Green Mountains, but had he lived and died in one of our metropolitan cities, they would have been osten- atiously interred in the wence of thousands, aad amid m/fitary parade and display.

Thirty-five years and fifteen days had then only «lapsed. The treaty at Ghent, which terminated the war of 1812, was signed on the 24th December, Christmas eve, 1814. Forty years and fifteen days have since rolled over our heads, and while most of those who shared our perils and pri ions—either poured out their blood upon the battle field, or have long since gone down to the grave in consequence of those privations—and others with blasted frames and ruined health are now lingering out their last days in penury and want, we have been erved to come up here to claim their rights, Shall we ask them in vain?

And what did we do during the war of 18127 If the records of the War Department shall be examined it will be found that Kentucky shed more red blood than any other State inthe Union, Look at Tippecanoe, where Daviess and Owen fell. At Mississinnawa, where Camp- bell triumphed. At Raisin, where Allen, Hart, Meade, Montgomery, and six hundred brave companions were killed on the field or subsequently massacred. Look at the two sieges of Fort Meigs, and Dudley’s defeat on the 5th of May, 1813, and at the glorious victory on the Thames, the following 5th of October. (Applause. ) From the sanguinary defeat at the Blue Licks till the gloricus triumph at New Orleans, (whose anniversary we this day celebrate,) Kentucky bones were left to Is it not almost time to bleach on every field of conflict. ive some evidence of public ired survivors? Shall tbe wi dead appeal in vain to Congress for small portions of the reat country which their husbands and fathers fought ‘or? While they are unprovided for—many of them or and lan‘less—what right have strangers to come Fora across the ocean and share our heritage, free of charge? What right have the surcharged despotisms of the Old World to throw off their scum of the earth on us—to empty their poor-houses and prisons upon New York, Boston, Philadelphia and New Orleans, filli them’ with beggars, pickpockets, thieves, burglars an robbers—throwing their dead cats into our wells of living water? It is true, this country is the asylum for the oppress- edof other nations, when driven from their native homes by ruthless despotism—so may it ever be— but those who seek our hospitality and protection must submit themselves to our laws, and not attempt to go- vern uf on our own aoil, or take from our children their lawful inheritance. -d during the late wat, by at Raisin and Meig: saw, unmoved, my Kentucky brother soldiers massacred and burned, and the villains who fired the capitol aud threw into’ the streets the ty pen apd press of the National Intelligencer, by » sim ple decfaration of an intention to become American citi- zens, will each of them have one hundred and sixty acres of Iabd, the gallant militia of New York and Vermont, who helped to drive back the English and their savage allies at Plattsburg, (the Saratoga of the second war ot independence,) the Msryland Minute men, who immor. talized themselves at North Poiat; the Pennsylvania vo- lunteers who aided Perry to annihilate the enemy on Lake Erie; and the Louisiana, Tennessee and Kentacky militia, who fought uvder Jackson at New Orleans, would get but forty acres each, about enough for a gar den and a graveyard. ‘He solemnly protested against all such iniquitous measures, which were generally the baits used by. ambi- tious politicians to gain hizh places. What would have been the fate of the Congress of 1818, if, instead of pen- sioning the poor survivors of Gen. Washington’s bare- footed soldiers, who marched across the Delaware on the fee, and gained those brilliant victories at Trenton and Princeton, they bad dared to divide out our public do- main among the Hessians who fought against us? uk God, there was evidence throughout the length adth of the land of an uprising feeling in the art to rebukefsuch crying injustice. Stand ms, ys; the old soldiers of the Indian wars since 1790 and those who fought in 1812, will yet get their rights, and so will the widows and orphans of those who have died or been billed. (Great applause.) Our red brethren, too, who fought by our side will not be neglected, On the Niagara frontier and in the North. west, a8 well asin the South, many of them behaved with heroic self-devotion. Gen. Coombs had seen them in battle, and some few bad been under his command, and he would vouch for their fidelity and courage. This broad and beautiful land, with'all its rivers and mountains and fertile plains, once belonged to them. is oura now, leaving the red to bury tneir dead on thi: le of the great Father of Waters. And in the far West we are circumscribing their dominion to the Rocky Mountains and the prairies at their base. We are rich and they are poor; and it is our duty to stand by them and vindicate their rights now, as they stood by us and fought for us during the war. He knew it would be difficult to prove up their ia- dividual claims, for they had no regular muster rolls, Zaoverd far as possible let it be done and satisfaction ren- an scarce ground enough ered. The Six Nations of New York sent forth hundreds of warriors, who bad no comsti:utional scruples about cross- ing the Niagara river into Canada, many of whom fell in battle, and others returned mutilated for life. Gen, Jackson was aided by portions of the Cherokee, Choctaw, and Chickasaw tribes in the South, and Gen. Harrison by some of the Shawnees and others in the Northwest. Our roment is bound b; Laer oo of honor and gratitude now to reward those services liberally. And what was it necessary for Gen. C. to say of our hardy ters and brave marines, who had ae fn thun- der tones on every ocean and inlana sea during the late war; had won victory after victory over the haughty self-styled mistress of the ocean, and taught a lesson to our proud enemy which the rolling of a hundred years will not blot out? Shall any of them be neglected? Never. (Applause. ) Gen. Coombs then gave a rapid and graphic description of the Le Northwestern wilderness at the commence- ment of the warof 1812, and contrasted it with its present civilized and prosperous condition. Then Fort Mackinaw had been surprised and taken by the British before the garrison heard of the deci: ion of war. The little fort at von had been abandoned and the garrisun way- murcered on its march to Fort Wayne, and Wells, the Indian agent, tomat awked and scal, Soon afterwards, Hull surrendered Detroit and all Michigan territory. The settlement at the Maumee Rapids was destroyed, and nothing remained but a few standing chimnies. With the exception of two small stockade forts (Wayne and Harrison), not an inhabitant, but hostile Indians, could be found between Lake Erie and the Mississippi river. The first was besieged by the enemy in large force, and only relieved by General json and the Kentucky volunteers under his command; and the latter was successfully defended by Captain Zachary Taylor and his feeble garrison against most fearful odds. He spoke of ‘tarving condition of the left wing of the Northwestern army, to which he belonged, en- camped below old Fort Defiance, under Winchester. At one time it was five days without bread or flour, and living on beet so poor that it was « standing jest with the iitle Dutch butcher, when about to slaughter our daily rations, to call on some by-stander ‘‘to hold up dis beef till be shot him.’’ He described the horrible winter Lag mt of 1812-13, terminating at Rositer in two bloody battles, followed by the massacre of the pri- soners on the 22d and 234 of January, 1813. He related some thrilling incidents occurring in the ing of 1813, while Geoeral Harrison with a feeble gar- ison was besieged in Fort Meigs, and Gen. Green Clay, with two eats of Kentucky volunteers, was hastening on to his relief. All northwestern Ohio, beyond Piqua eS ee ee then ac unbroken wilder. ness—except a few Indian villages—full of impassabie swamps and morasses. Although then a beardless outh, Gen, Coombs had become well acquainted with be country, and was Cs wean captain of aptes—white men and Indians. While descending the Anglaize river, ‘an express arrived from Fort jag us Onward, and Gen. Coombs was despatched with four or five of his company in # canoe down the Maumee from old Fort Defiance, to inform Gen. Harrisoa of their approach, and bring back his orders if possible. He described his night ride down the river, some forty miles—part of the time through the upper repids, in imminent danger of being dashed to pieces among the rocks: nis approach to the fort next morning, while it (was surrounded on all sides by the British and Indians; bis wien turning the last point on the river, ke Keot come [a sight of British batteries or the north side, pouring forth their red hot thunder upon Fort Meigs, while the glorious stars and stripes were floating out in proud de: from the battlemeats.

Coombs concluded by reminding his brother sol- diers that they had given to each other the right hand of fellowship, and solemnly pledged themselves, b; eve red obligation, to stand by each other while in defence of all their rights, and to aid and protect the bereaved widows and orphans of their de- ceased companionsinarms. Let us do this, and success is certain.

Terrible Snow Storm at © [From the Chicago Journal, A snow storm of unprecedented violence set in about two o'clock yesterday morning, accompanied by « high wind from the northeast, and raged with great violence for nearly twenty hours. Throughout the whole of that time the air was full of fine dry snow, which drifted as it fell, and this morning, though it is not easy to esti- mate its depth, certainly more snow has fallen than at any one time for some years past. We have doubtless to hear of considerable damage from the high wind which at times amounted to a tempest. A sloop bound for Racine. which cleared on Saturday from this port, appearea olf our harbor yesterday morning, since which time she has not been seen; no traces of her to be discovered by nine o’clock this morning, and the most melancholy surmises as to her fate are entertained. It wasa terrible gaie on lake and land, and on the latter there must have been much suffering in the slightly constructed dwellings of many of the poor, for the snow found its way int» every cranny and crevice, under badly jointed doors, and through shattered and ill-fitted windows. We learn that a small dwelling on the west side was partially un- roofed, forcing the family to seek refuge with their neigh- bors. The north gable end of the Saucy + on the corner @f Kinzie and Dearborn streets, occupied by Mr. Goroux, was driven in, and the wind and snow had full circula- tion. Mr. G. was absent from home, and the family were reatly alarmed less the whole roof should be blown off. Th balustrade of the house of J. Russell, Esq., of Michi- venue, was also blown hfe A Some injury was done to the stock of our lumber deal- ers, the wind making free with the high lumber piles, and slipping away board after board with the greatest facility. One or two dealers, during the height of the storm, attempted to stay proceedings by lashing their piles, &c., but generally the storm king had it all his Own way, and made most tyrannous use of his opportu- nities. ‘The thermometer sunk with the dying away of the storm, nearly to zero, and this morning evere- ly cold, and our city presented ppearance not of frequent occurrence here, with an army of shovellera at werk upon huge drifts, in some instances five or six feet deep. Considerable delays mast result to the trains on all the railroads of this section, and the telegraph lines must have received much damage. ‘Theatres and Exhibitions. Broapway TugaTre—The great success of the grand opera and fairy spectacle of ‘‘ Cindereila, or the Little Glase Slipper,’ induces Mr. Marsball to continue its re- presentation on Monday and every evening during the week.
