* THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1868. P*tth of Kx-Gov. Wm. Schley. Tli's gentleman died at hiB residence in Au gusta, on Saturday last. IDs disease was par alysis. Gov. Schley had arrived at an advan ced p'riod of his life, which has been to some extent an eventful one. He was elected to fill the office of Judge of the Superior Court, Rep* resentative in Congress, and Governor of the State, all which stations he filled with credit to himself and benefit to the country. it. % 1868?' d on left hand of the Pie6ident. Gov. Trirap, pies the right poflftfam. I heard some criticism on the portrait of Governor Clarke, but all S: '■ Mimas. Emtom ' meeting the portrait of G Change In the Cabinet. • We have itfrom pretty high authority, that the Hon. Howell Cobb, now Secretary of the Treasury, has accepted the position of Minister to France. What has prompted this move nient, we are not informed. If the report be true, this change w : ll probably result in a re organization of the Cabinet. Mr. Cobb is am ply endowed with all those qualifications which are requisite to constitute an able Representa tive of our Government at the Court of St. Cloud. Hoy muchsoever we may regret his retirement from the Cabinet, if he does retire, we congratulate the country upon the prospect of his continuance in the public service. New -Bridge. We took occasion some time since to notice the erection of a new bridge, crossing the Rail Road cut on Bridge Street. We have now the pleasure of announcing the completion of this work. It is a magnificent structure, and cost the city nearly $4,000. Mr. Wm. McConnel was the contractor, and lie was assisted by Mr. Samuel Downs, a regular Bridge Builder, and though the fidelity with which the work was done, prevented them from realizing the prof its which their skill and enterprise deserve, yet they have done themselves credit in the execution of this job, which we hope will lead to more profitable coutracts. This bridge will long stand, without some accident happens to it, as a monument to the public spirit of the present administration of our city government. Present. These Editors are lucky fellows sometimes. We acknowledge the receipt of a half dozen bottles. - of peach, 2 of pale and 2 of apple Brandy, from our worthy friend Roark. We are not much addicted to hard drink, hut in these cold tunes old Peach and Honey goes well. l J . S. The above proceeds from one of the Fd- itors of (his paper. But there is another side to tuis liquor question, that Ixithere another of the editors who ‘‘don’t take anything.” We want to keep even with our associates. One ol us has to file his share away for medi cine. and wait til he is authorized to take a little for the stomach's sake, before he can en joy his peach, otard, iYc., while the otherscan smack their lips right before his eyes, and say, this is nice, elegant. How are we to keep ev en ! Our presents so far- have been in liquor, it' a nice pair of shoes, or a genteel hat, or a warm coat should drop in along side of Peach, Otard, and Howard’s and Koarch’s best, why we could wag our head under a new hat, anil slu ug our shoulders and kick upon our heels, and cheerfully stand by the side of our fel lows, saving: well my friends, you inay warm the inside, but here goes for one who will be content with that which warms the outside. We can't help it; we are as yet not even with our colleagues, and are waiting patiently to see whai may -'turn up.” Don'tallcall at once, lest we may go oil in ecstaoies. We have to stick to our text, which lias been given us, and we come I jack to it again, hv saying in conclusion, that Howard and Roark are ever ready to furnish all who have a use for good liquor. Private Execution*. We see that a Bill has been introduced into the Legislature, to make executions for capi tal offences private. This is a move in the right direction, and we hope the bill may pass. Without expressing our opinion as to the good or bail policy of capital punishment, we feel no hesitation in saying tliat the practice which has always prevailed in Georgia, of executing criminals publicly, is bad policy, and behind the progress of the present age. In several of the Slates of this Union, such exhibitions have long since been abandoned, and the new pol icy seems to work well. When some poor abandoned culprit forfeits his life, by violating the Jaws of his country, the best thing to do with him, is to dispose of him in the quietest way, consistent with justice and the dictates of an enlightened humanity. We have never known of a case of moral reform being effected by witnessing a hanging. Persons who have seen many deaths in the ordinary way, will ride or walk twenty or even fifty miles, to see some malefactor hung up by the neck, until he is dead. The scene has the tendency to har den tlie human heart, and render men callous to those finer feelings, which distinguish the Christian and civilized man from the savage. We are not disposed to elaborate this subject, but express a wish that the Bill may pass. Salary of the State Roail Superintendent. We perceive from the proceedings of the Legislature, that the bill to increase the salary of the Superintendent of the State Road, has been lost. We may be hazarding something in saying that we regret this result, as the popular feeling is generally in favor of low sal aries for public officers. Nevertheless, we have had sufficient experience in matters of t: ’is sort to convince us, that parsimony in this particular, is not always economy. The emol uments of a public office, ought always to be adequate to the services rendered. The office of Superintendent in point of importance, is in ferior to few, if any in the State, so far as the people generally are concerned. It requires a man of skill, judgment and experience to ail- minister such a great enterprise successfully. But few men have the necessary qualifications for such a task, ami the services of such men always can command high prices. The pres ent Superintendent of the State Road is a mail of ample private means, and we are authorized to say that the salary was a matter of small consideration with him, in undertaking the arduous and responsible duties ol' the office he has thus far so successfully filled. Higher mo tives than mere pecuniary gain, prompted him to accept his present position. But where will you find another l)r. Lewis in Georgia ? Prob ably there is not such another in the State. We intend to be understood by this remark, that you will hardly find another one in Geor gia, similarly situated as Dr. Lewis is, who would be willing to make the private and per- sonal sacrifices lie has made, in assuming the responsibility and labors of his present jiosi- tion. There are men who qualify themselves for such business, at great labor and expense, •with a view of making it a source of profit. The services of such men always command high prices,and as long as the salary of the chief officer of the State Road, remains at its pres ent standard, the services of the first class Rail Road men cannot be obtained to take charge of it, unless by accident such another as Dr. Lewis can be found, which we conceive highly improbable. Wm. Wadley is now receiving a salary on a Road in Louisiana and Mississippi, of $12,000, and the company find it highly economical to pay him that price. Put the salary of the Superintendent of the State Road at $1,000 per annum, and there would no doubt be a host of applicants for it, not one of whom would be competent to discharge its duties. We say therefore, make the pay ample, and we can then command ample ability for the duties of the office- executed piece of work, and was in the main faithful to the great original. It is the gener- al opinion that all the business of , the. State will be transacted within the time prescribed by law. Nothing will be done in the way of State aid to any road, no donation will be made to Colleges, no provirion made for Com mon Schools, the Penitentiary will be patched up for another year, the State Road, will not be leased. Indeed the members feeling that these great questions not having been concern ed before their constituents are unwilling to inaugurate any great measure. All this is left for the next Legislature. The above are questions that must be met by the people at large, freely discussed by them in the interim of the Legislature, and doubtless at the next session of the Legislature, some changes will be made. Pile resolution that his Excellency the Gov ernor be requested to furnish James A. Green, ah the papers necessary for prosecuting the claims of Peter Prezvant, against the govern ment of the U. S., was taken up and passed.— By an amendment the said James A. Green, was allowed 25 per cent, on all he could col lect as pay for his services. Phe House, bill to advance pay to members was taken up. On motion of Mr. Whitaker, it wa* amended by authorizing the Governor to draw his warrant of the Preasury for $5,000 as advance pay to the State Printers, to aid them in the publication of the Journals an^ Laws of this Legislature, The bill was passed and sent immediately to the House of Repre sentative for their concurrence. The President announced the special order of the day, to be tlic amendment to the con stitution which proposes to strike out from the Constitution of the State, the clause prohibi ting the importation of African Slaves into Georgia. It was also the day for the call of members for new matters. He had decided that the call of members should be gone through with before the special order. The following Bills were Introduced. Mr Adams of Rabura, a bill to amend the act incorporating the Moccason Turnpike, in county ofRabum. Mr Arnold, a resolution that both brandies of the General Assembly to adjourn sine die on the 10th prox. Mr Browney, a bill to incorporate Union Academy in the county ol' Thomas. Also, a bill to incorporate the Methodist and Episco pal Church, in the town of Prospect, in Thom as comity. Mr Burke, a bill to prevent non-residents from camp-limiting in the county of Miller. Mr Field, a bill to incorporate the town of Alverado, in the connty of Milton. Mr Gholston, to authorize the Inferior Court in the connty of Madison, to sell the Academy Building and real estate in the town of Daniels- ville. MrGideon, a bill to prohibit the sale ofLot- tery Tickets to slaves and free persons of color Also, to authorize the Clerk of Superior Courts to act as administrator in certain cases without extra bond. Mr Gordon, to create a new Judicial dreuit out of tiie comities of Wilkinson, Laurens, Telfair, Coffee, Emanuel and Johnson, to lie called Oconee Circuit. Mr Griffin, of Calhoun, to allow teachers of poor Children in the county of' Calhoun, to charge for books furnished such children. Mr Harris, of Walton, a bill amendatory ol' the act making permanent the public buildings of said county. Also, a bill to authorize the Justices of the Inferior Court of the counties of Franklin and Thomas to appoint 5 com missioners whose duty it shall be to examine into the qualifications of such persons as pro- jtose to teach in said county. Also, a bill to lay out and organize anew county out of the counties of Franklin and Habersham. Mr Mathews of Houston, to prevent the estate of Curtis J. Grey from going into es cheat. Mr Hill of Sumpter, a bill for the relief of Mrs. E. F. Cooper, of Sumpter. Mr Price of Cass, a bill for the relief of Ab ner J, Sims, Joel Cooper, and Christopher Dodd. Mr Riley of Lumpkin, a bill authorizing John Russel of the county of Lumpkin to practice medicine and charge for the same. Mr Stokes of Heard, a bill to organize a new county out of Lowndes and Clinch, to be oalled the county of Echols. Mr Stubbs, a resolution that the privilege of a seat on the floor of the Senate be exten ded to the Hon. Eli Warren during bis stay in the city. Taken up and adopted; Mr Treadwell of Whitfield, a bill to change the name of the Planters’ & Mechanics’ Bank of Dalton to the Bank of Whitfield. Mr Smith of Hancock, a bill to make the oldest member of tlie Board of Trustees of Franklin College, the President of said board in the absence of the Governor, and also to prohibit any member of the faculty from being a member of the Board of Trustees. Mr Walker, a bill to authorize the levies of a tax in Crawford to build a Jai.l Mr Westbrook, a bill to require the State Treasurer to seize certain coupon bond that liad been omitted to lie signed. Mr Whitaker, a blil for the divorce of James Holbrook aud Ann Holbrook. Mr Wilcher, a bill to permit Wiley P. Davis of the County of Glasscock to practice dentistry without paying license. Mr Bryan, a bill to authorize tlie counties of Wayne, Appling and Pearce, to appoint a com petent Surveyor to run off and define the lines between said counties. After this the special order of the day was ta ken up, which was an amendment to the con stitution striking out the article forbidding the importation of slaves. On this there sprung up the only debate that we have had in the Senate this session, Mr At kinson the author of the bill, led off, Mr Daw son followed in opposition, Mr Billups succee ded in support, and Mr Gibson concluded. The bill was then postponed to Tuesday next. Du ring the speech of Mr Billups there was consid erable cheering, mostly I believe from the lob by. Some Senators thought that an indica tion that tlie bill would pass, but I am of a dif ferent opinion. I hardly think the bill will receive a numerical majority, much less the cons* i tutional majority of two-thirds. The op position will not be confined to those counties which contain few slaves. There is a regret I think on the part of some, that the subject was agitated ; and some bode evil to the Dem ocratic party in case the measure should be passed. Numbers did not take the sense of their constituents oil the subject, and lienee I would not be surprised to see the direct issue staved off as much as possible by what may be called side motions. Some view the motion as a yireparation for opening the slave trade, to which they are opposed, and others think that the South should take strong ground at this juncture of governmental affairs. Legislation is sometimes a burden—a source of anxiety to the tender conscience, and hence I frequently hear members say, “this is my last session.” We shall see on Tuesday. The Hon. Henry R. Jackson is expected to address tlie members of the Legislature on Mon evening. The weather is pleasant and it is raining. 8. or Hr. ng ,tor* the! •the counties of WbHgker *§d: Y dc safcl: ,y, ana would not have said i „ *Mr. Yukon, county ;tooga : a few ng. yes- v thing to day blit for for the position taken ly the Sena tor from Greene, (Mr. Dawson,! on-yesterday, n-x WnjLML kUn ... n.,,1 h lu i H to which I am not prepared to subscribe, and that had known hhn, agreed that it waaawril the rera ^ of the Wffiatof from Wilkinson. (Mr. Cochran.) The latter Senator’s views would lead us never to pass a bill as long as there is a Senator opposed to it. If this be tlie iftOtive to govern ns. I ask how many bills would be passed here this session ? I ask the Senator why it is that we on taking our seats in this body, are required to take ail oath that on all the questions and measures Which come up for our consideration, we will legislate in such a manner as we think will conduce to the prosperity of the State and the good of the people ? Not in compliance with the wishes of Senators. I respect the feelings of the Senator from Walker as much as those of any other Senator on this floor; and I have as much respect for the feelings and wishes of even - Senator as I have for those of myself. Each Senator must so conduct him self as lie thinks the obligation of his oath and the good of the people require. Again, sir : The Senator from Walker thought the Senate would not make a new county where the Senator from that territory was opposed to it. A motion to that effect had been introduced a few days ago, and was ruled out of order as being unconstitutional; and after the decision I desire not to hear it remarked again that we must legislate so as to please Senators. Sir, I desire to please Senators, I desire to please all, I desire the good will of all ; but when 1 take a solemn obligation to east my vote for the good of the country, I must be excused for acting in accordance wieli my own judg ment. I do not want the Senator from Walker to entertain for one moment the opin ion that I have for him any disrespect in the vote that I shall give for reconsideration. I do not want any such doctrine as this to pre vail in this Ixicly. It has been said by my friend from Greene, that there is a mania in this Ixxly for new counties. I would say to him be cautious that there be not a mania against them, and in this way, they be denied to those portions which evidently require them. But, sir, to bring my remarks to a conclu sion, I must be firm to this constitution which I am sworn to support. One word on the motion to reconsider. — The gentleman from Chattooga moves to re consider. The hill, as it stands, is now lost, and must remain lost unless it is reconsidered, He says he will not come before this body with the bill again unless he can show that it is the will of the majority of the people concerned ; and I would here state in my place that if the hill should be brought forward in the absence of the Senator from Walker, I for one would be opposed to entertaining it until the Sena tor should return. Both Senators ought to be present when tlie bill is considered, and I presume the Senator from Chattooga would not bring forward the bill in the absence of the'Senator horn Walker. There arc members opposed to the making of new counties under any and all circum stances, notwithstanding the constitution says new counties may be made. Had this princi ple been carried out heretofore what obstacles would it not have opposed to the progress of the people ? Sir, we arc to legislate for the good of the whole people ; and when any petition conies up from them, we, as legisla tors, are to respect it, and to act upon it as in our judgment the good of the people aud the prosperity of the State requires. It has been argued against the making of new counties that these halls- of legislation will soon become too small for the members. Sir, we are a great people, and this is a great State—sometimes called the Empire State of the South; but, sir, give me population suffi cient and territory sufficient , and whenever any portion of the people desire to set up for them selves, to keep house for themselves, they shall have my permission So to do. It would lx*, attended with no expense to the State.— And yet Senators oppose the wants of the peo ple in this particular, in this manner, I fear, sometimes trivial towards those who think proper to vote for the creation of new counties. I have no personal interest in the bill. It is a local one; but the Chairman of the Committee on Counties said on yester- terday that it was considered by the commit tee unanimously to jx>ssess more merit than any similar hill tliat had been presented to the Senate at this session. Oftii-inl Volt of tl»e State. We shall lx* enabled in a day or two to give the official vote for State officers. As tlie vote now stands, estimating tlie few counties not heard from officially, but which will make but a slight change, it gives : For Parker. Democrat ‘280.2(10 Morgan. “Republican” 248,022 Burrows, “American” 01,028 Majority for Morgan over Parker... 17,702 It will lx* seen although Morgan is the Gov ernor elect , he is in a minority of 43,266. The Democratic vote of the State lias larg- ly increased over that of 1850 for President as well as that of 1857 for State Officers : In 1856 the Democratic vote of the State was 105.878 Democratic vote of 1857 195,482 Democratic vote of 1858 230,200 showing the large increase over 1850 or 1857 of more than 34,000 ! The only party vote which has diminished is that of the “Americans.” In 1856 the number of votes poll ed by that party for Mr. Fillmore..124,524 In 1857 tlie name party polled 00,885 In 1858 01,028 Most of those who left the K. N. ]>ai-ty this Fall doubtless voted with the “Republicans.’, In may of the Concessional and other local districts the “fusion” was complete. What real advantage tlie “Americans" expect to gain by this fraternization with the “Republi cans” we cannot see. That part}- has now. doubtless, closed its existanee, bnt we do no; believe that- any considerable portion of those who adhered to their own nominations this Fall will be found in future co-operating with the sectional and Seward “Republicans.”-— Common sense revolts al such an idea. They have but one course to pursue, and that is to unite with the National Democratic party and crush out Abolitionism and Sewardism togeth er. The vote for Gerritt Smith, Abolition Tem perance, in forty-eight counties, is 5,029.— His largest vote was in his own county (Mad ison), 636, and the county which gave tlie smallest vote to this “man of principle” was Livingston, which honored him with 2 votes. This city, more liberal, gave him 84.—-If. Y. News. [F*om the Daily Federal petao.] <*e or gia Legislature. BE MATE. Thursday Morning, Nov. 18, 1868.

A substitute was offered by the committee. Paine of Telfair offered an amendment to the substitute making the clauses of the bill prospective in their action. Stubbs of Bibb offered a substitute for the original substitute and amendment. The first substitute was lost. Stubb’s sub stitute was agreed to. The report agreed to and the bill passed. A bill to allow bail to free persons of color and slaves, and to jiay attorneys in certain oa ses. Colquitt of Muscogee, moved to lay the hill on tlie table for the present. The special committee to whom tliis bill was •referred, offered a substitute. Bartlett of Jasper, moved to strike out so much of the hill as gives attorneys a lien on slaves. He said tliat he as ail attorney, would not receive any pay from so unwilling a master, &c. The motion to lay on the table for the pres ent was agreed to.

He had done as much towards the suppression of the traffic perhaps, as any man in liis country, yet he did not want to .he com pelled to give his son an order for liquor, if lie needed it just as he now has to do to a ne gro. He thought the plan to follow was, to “raise them up in the way they should go, and when they grew up they would not de part therefrom.” Slaughter, of Dougherty, thought that a parent ought to have full control over his children. We had the right to legislate on this subject. Early education controlled the whole life. Vendors would sell liquor to chil dren in spite of all efforts of parants, and should they not have this law to protect them ? He could not see why any objection should he raised against this bill. The motion to lay on the table, was with drawn. Thomas of Gwinnette, moved to refer the bill to a special committee of 5—agreed to.— They arc Thomas of Gwinnett.

Green and Rebecca Green from tlie pains and penalties of bigamy—pass ed. A hill to incorporate the Bank of Marietta in the city of Marietta. Individual liability clause was included. Billups of Morgan amended by making the Stockholders liable after the expiration or for feiture of the charter. Adams, of Elbert, also by allowing the Leg islature to repeal or modify the charter at any time. Whitaker, of Fnlton, by making the char ter forfeited on the sale of its stock to non-res idents of the State. On the passage of the hill, Mr. Whitaker of Fulton arose, and in his own words he “gave the Senators a commonsense view” of the whole matter. His speech abounded in sound sense, and powerful argument. He well said, that if Savannah and Augusta were allowed Banks, why not Marietta and tlie inland towns. We have not space to say any more. The yeas and nays were called for. The yeas are 38, nays 49, so the bill was lost. Several bills were read the 1st anil 2d time. Tee Senate adjourned until 9 1-2 o’clock to morrow morning.

To amend the divorce laws in this State — allowing parties against whom any verdic 1 a vincul-matrimoni to marry again. Whitaker of Fulton said lie was oppos* to this general permit to all parties to marry again. The section in question was consider ed to have been passed as a punishment to the party in fault. Tlie bill will be held out to parties as an inducement to act in a manner to obtain divorces. This bill instead of strengthening the bonds of matrimony only- weakened them. Was it good policy in t he State to hold out such inducements. In such cases what was to become of the children of such marriages ? Tlie bill was essentially wrong in principle. He was opposed to it in toto. Bloodworth of Pike said that he would say r a word in favor of tlie hill as he was its author. On the principles of humanity the hill ought to be passed. The passage of all these divorce bills let there be as little time as may be ta ken in their passage would cost the State from $50 to $75. He was opposed to this local leg islation. Pass a general law. There were ma ny cases in wliich parties had been divorced and then desired to many, and it was then necessary for them to come to the Legislature.

Editors.—It is with deep regret, that the writer has been informed that there is a disposition, on the part of some members of our present Legislature, to abolish the Supreme Court. The reason for this, it is said, is he cause that Court has made a decision as to the liability of stock-holders in a certain broken Bank for the payment of its debts, which is not approved. Admit that decision to he botli contrary to law and the justice of the case (hut about which tlie writer offers no opinion) is that sufficient cause to abolish the tribunal al together? If this rale were adopted, all our Courts would be abolished and we would hi* left In a slate of perfect anarchy directly. Justices’ Courts, Inferior Courts and Superi or Courts, all decide cases, and that often, both contrary to law and justice. Suppose, to test this rale further, that we get an inefficient, or even a corrupt man in the Executive chair, should we abolish the office of Governor, on that account ? No sane man would seriously propose such remedy. We would rather try to have better success in electing another. If then, there he no objections to either one, or even to all, our present Supreme Court Judges, (and I know of no one who objects to all of them) had we not better try to remove that ob ject in a similar way ? What sort of a judici ary would we now have without a Supreme Court, while our Superior Court judges are el ected by the people ? Just such as I hope may never afflict Georgia. With such a judiciary we would have occasion enough to complain. In the first place, we would have as many codes of laws as Superior Court Judges, as was the case before we had a Supreme Court; hut, which would now be much worse, a poor man, or one without influence at the polls, would stand no sort of chance to get justice, in many cases, against one who can control his hundreds of voters. Do not say this censure is too severe against our Judges of the Superior Courts. It is hut the naked, unvarnished truth, as any man of ordinary observation will attest, who has at tended the courts and noted the working of our present system as much as the writer has. These Judges are but men, descended from Ad am since he fell, and are, by no means, in some instances, the most infallible, or conscientious, even of his race. A great deal better service may he rendered the country, I think, by fur ther enactments to perfect our present sgslem. To do this, as the most important change necessa- jy, I would suggest tliat our present Legisla ture enact a law to restrain our Supreme Court from overruling their own decisions, hut re quire them to stand as first made, until the Legislature shall interfere ; then by rendering our laws more stable, and to require the Judg es of the Superior Courts, in all cases hi the last resort, to deliver their decisions and char ges to the jury in writing. Let the charge he then handed to the foreman, and when return ed into court, let it be filed by the Clerk, with the other papers in the case, and making it ground of error for the Judge to deliver any other charge. We would then avoid much an gry controversy between counsel, in taking up cases, aud the Judge, as to what was charged ; and the same questions would then be present ed to the Supreme Court, that were determined in the Court below, and that is not always the case now. as many parties and their attorneys can truly attest.—[FW. Union.] CIVIS. Our Treaty with China. The New York Times contains what purports to be a full copy of our new treaty with China, Speaking of it, the Times remarks: A large portion of its clauses are in nearly the same terms as those of the treaty of 1846, though some clauses have been added and changes made which have an important bearing upon our commercial interests. Lord Elgin, moreover, evidently did not think so badly of some of its provisions as the London 'limes now affects to do. Under the old trea ty American vessels paid tonage duties at the rate of five mace (20 cents) per ton ; and this was reduced, through Mr. Reed, the American Minister, to four mace per ton, (40 ets,) upon the ground that as the registered tonage of our vessels is one fifth more than that of the British, this reduction of the rate was necessa ry to make the duties equal. Lord Elgin, on hearing this reduction, resisted upon a similar reduction, in the British treaty, and thus sought to perpetrate the advantage of British vessels over our own. Hogs.—The market here for Hogs is quiet but we learn it has been quite animated in this portion of the State, for some days past—or ders having been received from the West—and an advance of one dollar per 100 lbs, was es tablished; those orders, we also learn, are now filled, and the market again quiet. There is a decline in the West, with the prospect of a further reduction—porkers being backward in purckaseing at the present rates. Hie accounts from abroad are anything hut encouraging for the sliipmants of hog products, and in the Sourtliem States the farmers and planters are better supplied than usual with hogs of their own raising. We cannot learn tliat the slaughtering houses in this place are purchasing to any extent, and suppose they are waiting for a more settled market. The crops, from all wo can learn, appear to be equal to any of late years.—Chat- anooga Advertiser. A lazy fellow named Jack Hole, living near Covington Ky., has adopted a way of spelling liis name, which throws phonography clear into the shade. He makes a big “J,” and then jolts his pen through the paper for the “Hole,” The last number of the Westminister Review presents, in an able article, a general view of the condition of France under the government of Louis Napoleon. It skilfully sketches the misconceptions and delusions which led the French people to accept “the hero of Bo- lougne” for their master, and keenly analyzes the traits of character which fitted Louis Na poleon for the task offonnding a despotism on the tears and the fancies of an excited nation. The first elected him President, because, split amongst themselves by party dissentions. and mistaking his real character, they thought they would safely compromise on a candidate whom they expected to he the toy of their whims and suggestions. But, says the wri ter :— Beneath a demeanor wearing the look of impassible placidity, he possessed a stern will which, by constant direction, had been har dened into an uii-relaxing tenacity of a settled purpose ; while within a nature seemingly cold and dull, there lurked a spirit animated with passion, but the more intense that its fire "had been guardedly restrained, and which in the hour of venture, could count on the support of a courage as reckless about personal risk as it was free from noisy swagger. Of the character of the government which Louis Napoleon lias established, ho draws this picture : It is a system based not on the subordina tion hut on the subjection of the individual ; it substitutes for the excellent action of civic spirit the arbitrary impulses of an imperious guardianship tliat must necessarily wax daily in exaction under the influence of indulgence; and its fundamental principle is one of such rigidity as to make the fabric resemble an iron cage; whose bars may in one sense he valuable as starving off dinger from without, hut pro cure this advantage for the inmate by crippling his health and vigour. After glancing at the leading features of the policy which Louis Napoleon lias persued, and his reliance upon the army, the writer arrives at the conclusion that the second Empire, organized, in many respects, after the mod el of the first, cannot be permanent. He says : 'Hie condition of such a government is that of an army hopelessly shut up in a desperate position ; l>y the discipline and guidance of a vigilant and skillful commander, it staves off the evil day of surrender, until accident, de priving it of its chief, causes resistance against aggression to cease of itself. This, we believe will be the case with the present Empire.— Sterile in institutions, and harsh in its deal ings, it can evoke neither a principle nor a re miniscence capable of affording support in tiie day of appeal to national sentiment. A Trip among tlie Camaiiches. ’File Albany Knickerbocker notices the return, to that city, of Nelson Lee, who was taken prisoner by the Camanclie Indians, in 1850, near Eagle Pass, while on his way from Texas to California. He furnishes the following: Lee’s life was spared because the Indians could not manage a repeating watch which he carried. The watch saved his life. In the Camaucliee camp, Mr. Lee found no less than 28 captured white women, and some 30 or 40 white children. A day or two after he arrived in camp, they massacred an English woman, named Anna Haskin, in a most cruel manner. They tied her naked to a tree, and in the presence of her two daughters, Marga ret and Harriet Haskin, inflicted tlie most re volting cruelties upon her. Before Mrs. Has kin was finally dispatched, she was tortured for nearly half a day, during which time the Indians became excited with liquor and danced about her like so many demons. They took sharp pieces of Hint and cut her flesh in all possible directions. Mrs. Haskin and her daughters were captured while on their way to the Mormon settlements at Salt Lake. The daughters still remain with the Indians.—- Their ages are 17 and 19. Lee made his es cape in the following manner ; He was ac companying the Chief of the (,‘amanehes to a lodge some miles distant. During the tramp, they met a party of Indians; the Indians gave the Chief a skin filled with liquor. The Chief drank of the spirits, aud became excited.— Arriving at a creek, lie dismounted and stoop ed down to drink. At this moment, Lee seized his tomahawk, split his head open and killed him instantly. He then took the Chief s ritie. mounted tlie Chiefs horse, and put for Mexico. When he reached Mexico, lie was completely naked, while his feet and legs were so swollen from being cut by the cactus plant, that he could go only some eight miles a day. The last hundred miles he did on foot, his horse having died of exhaustion. The Mexicans treated him very kindly, and gave him money and clothing to reach home.— 'Hie clothes lie now wears in Albany are those given to him by the J/exicuns. Arrival of Mr. Forsyth.—The U. Ssates sloop-of-war Plymouth, arrived at this port on Sunday evening last, bearing to liis home our distinguished fellow-citizen, John Forsyth, Esq., late Minister of the U. States at Mexico, with his family. Mr. Forsyth is looking remarkably well, and is in fine spirits ; a little touched with the Mexican bronze, but in other respects, time and service have laid most lenient hands up on him, as we conld see no touches of the sil- vry frost of care in his usual appearance. His friends will find him at the Battle House. The general news of the Plymouth has been anticipated by other and speedier transports. But we learn from Mr. Forsyth, that when he demanded an escort from the government of Mexico, intending to leave the capital on tiie 15th ult, tlie supreme government were afraid to furnish it, according to the usage of na tions, and being willing to accept nothing less, threw himself upon his own resources rather than to lie further delayed in that mis erable country. This fearfulness of the gov ernment grew out of the armed array of its en emies that infest the road to the coast. He left the city of Mexico on the 25th. On his route near Puebla, Mr. Forsyth had had a re- encounter with a band of robbers, and noton- ly put them to rout in self-defence, but recov ered from them a small drove of mules that they had stolen from a muliteer but an hour or two before. The muliteer did not pretend to reclaim them, hut Mr. Forsyth delivered them over to him, as he did not aspire to a conquest so Mexican. By letters received since his arrival it ap pears that this little stage coach defence has made a terrible commotion in tlie great nation of Mexico, and signalizes the triumph of the American arms once more on the plains of the Aztecs. However, we do not tli.nk the de tails of the action are likely to find their way to the page of history.—Mobile Register. The Western Hog Trade.—At Louisville on on Friday last 1,300 hogs sold $0.25 net, and 10,000 green hams ^at jpl cents,£ but subse quently during the day 7j£ cents were refused for 20,000 pieces. The Cincinnati Times of Saturday says: The trade yesterday was rather dull, owing, it is presumed, to the high prices demanded. It is believed that at moderate prices a fair trade might he done. 'Hie receipts yesterday amounted to about 2,100 head. The sales were at $5.75, $0. $6.25, and 6.30, according to weight. The sales made at S0.30 were for future delivery. The market this morn ing is rather quiet, though the receipts are on the increase. Heavy hogs were bringing $0.25. A member of a leading establishment at St. Louis writes under date of the 0th inst: Since my return home I have been arrang ing my figures for an estimate of the incoming hog crop, and I think it a moderate estimate to calculate the increase over the last year of 15 per cent. The surplus of old pork on hand is largely over last year’s stock at this date, and yet we have no indications of any increase in the reported demand, though the abun dance and east* in money matters may. and likely will induce a speculative demand for export later in tlie seasou. Home consump tion, too, is likely to lie larger this than last season ; but allowing for these and taking the most favorable view of tlic prospects ahead, I do not see anything to justify the present prices for hogs as quoted at Cincinnati. No contracts have been made here yet for over $5 net, except one for 500 hogs at $5.35. ' The Smack In Eehool. The following incident in a District School described by Mr. Wm.
