‘‘Nebraska Bill.— This bill has passed the House
of Reptesentatives by a vote of yeas 113 to nays
100,"but before it passed, the Clayton proviso
was struck out, which confined the right of suf
frage to cititixens of the United States, whether
native or adopted. It will now go to the Senate,
where it will pass, and after receiving the sig
-nature of the President, will become a law of the
lain!. . .
It might not bo inappropriate to examine and
aee what, or if, indeed, any practical good will
result to the South from the passage of (his bill.
As it has passed we think it extreinly doubtful
wether the South will derive any benefit from it.
From the first we were aware that it was intro
duced by that arch demagogue, Donglas. for the
purpose of making capital for himself, who would
not hesitate at any thing provided Ins own in
terest could be advanced ; and that it was seiz
ed upon bv Franklin Pierce as a means of bol
stering up his ovvt) sinking fortunes. With such
■fosterers as the above, its introduction wo ad
mit, did not portend much good to the country,
still we advocated its passage, believing that
„ 00 d may sometimes result from evil intentions.
Wo believed that its passage would be nothing
more nor less than re affirming, and establishing
on a firmer basis the doctrines contained in the
Compromise of 1830. and restoring to the South
the vantage ground she lost when the Missouri
Compromise was passed, lo that Compiomise
the South should never have submitted. She
should never have yielded the point, that Un
people of the South have the right, if they think
proper, to move with their slaves into any terri
tory of the United States, the common proper
ty of the Nation, no matter where it was located.
’ This right the Nebraska bill proposed to give
the South and in reality does give it, but the
question arises whether tin-striking nut of the
Olavtou proviso not neutralize all good of
ferts of the bill, so far as the South is concern
ed. The bill as now passed and as we understand
it, givesta all foreigners the right to vote whether
cititens of the United States, or not. W’ltbthe im
mense emigration to this country, and the great
tide of foreigners. whiLwill (i-ur.-iiLbJ the new
territories, it requires but little discernment to
perceive that the people of the South, who may
think of moving there, will have a poor show
ing at the ballot box, and will consequently hesi
tate long before they do so. The bill as passed,
as we understand it, establishes the famous sqat
er sovereignty” doctrine of Gen. Cass in its most
odious form, giving to the people ot the territory,
whether citixens of the United States or not, the
right to vote ami legislate upon all matters, be
fore they have the requisite number to become a
State. If this be so, the South had better abided
by the Missouri Compromise. We do not un
derstand how nearly the whole body of tin-South
ern Representatives’ went for this bill as it pass
ed. We hope it is more favorable to the South
that it appears to be at present. —Selma ( Ala .)

Flour short nr weight. —A correspondent
of the Charleston Courier, over the signature of
“Merchant,” nfter noticing the short weight of
Flour, purchased at Charlotte, North Carolina,
thus refers to other brands:
It is not however, only the above braqds that
are short but hundredsot others from South Car
olina and Tennessee. W hen tlour is ¥8 per bar
rel the loss of fourteen pounds per barrel is
50 cents; this makes a difference <>f *56
in every one hundred barrels of flour. Heavy
shipments of floor have been made for the last
two months to Northern markets, consisting of
Georgia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina,
in sacks and hairols. A large quantity of this
flour fell short in weight. With the exception
of Georgia flour, reclamations are made now on
commission merchants here. As soon as the
losses are ascertained, the names of the mills will
be given. In the manner the Up Country mills
put up their flour, it will take 20 years before
Charleston can establish a reputition for a flour
market; the fact is, all flour received hero (ex
cept Georgia Merchants mills) is deficient in
every respect, vix : short weight, bad order, and
indifferent in quality —some bids, and sacks con
tain b)f superfine flour and half corn meal—some
is musty. A strict account will* be kept of all
thodsffimst mill brands, and the names given
when shdrt in weight, &c. It is hoped that every
oountry paper will copy this article—so as to
give the millers an apporUmity. to mend their
ways, Mkrchakt^

lekender Bey, the Dashing Sabrer.
The following sketch of the character and
powers of an officer in the Turkish service, whose
personal prowess and chivalrous deeds on the
field of battle rivaUbose of Murat, and remind
us of the pages of romance, is given by h corres
pondent of the Daily News, and is dated at Kal
afat:
“It said to be regretted that at the moment
when his service is most needed, Iskender Bey,
one of the best officers in the Turkish army, who
commands the outposts, should be confined to
his bed by severe illness at Widdin. In the ac
tion at Citale he was riding furiously down the
street of the village, heading a charge of his troops
when the horse of a Cossack, who advancing to
meet him, was struck by some shot, and fell im
mediately in front of him.
“Iskender Bey continued his course, atid leap
ed over the prostrate bodies of the Russian and
his horse ; but, when in the act of doing so, the
latter attempted to rise, and Iskender Bey was
thrown violently and he and the Cossack, and
their two steeds rolled over and over in the mud.
lie had no sooner regained his feet than he
found himselfin the grasp of a Russian soldier,
who called oil him to ask for quarter to which lie
replied with a blow of his sabre, prostrating his
assailant in the mud. lie was enabled lo retire
in safety by the advance of a body of the bashi
buzaks, hut found that his rib had been disloca
ted, and that he had received severe injury. He
remained at his post for a few days, but was at
last compelled to give way, as he was no longer
able to mount his horse, and came to Wid
din to put himself under the care of the sur
geon.
“Both in appearance and antecedents he is
the most remarkable man in the Turkish army.
He is about the middle height, but rather mus
cular and symmetrical. His hair and beard are
coal black, but if possible not near as black as bis
eyes, whick flash like (ire under dark overhang
ing brows. A long and slightly curved nose,
a small mouth, thin lips, and a high forehead,
and a complexion bronzed by sun and wind,
combine to form one of the most striking physi
ognomies I have ever looked upon, He is of
Tartar origin, and a Mussulman by birth, and is
the owner of large estates in Bessarabia, but lias
been in political exile ever since he attained the
age of manhoixl. Personal taste and family tra
ditions have made him a soldier. Hatred of
Russia made him a soldier of fortune, and, as
might lie supposed, there were few wars in any
part of the world, for the last twenty years, in
which lie has not taken part.
“He served with distinction in the Carlist
war in Spain, and the Don l’edro war in Portu
gal, in both of which he was famed for his dash
ing courage as a cavalrv leader. Such was his
character for determination, that while.in Spain
he was appointed to the command of a legion
called Legion Provisorie, composed of all tin
ma a vain mijets <if the army —cut throats and bri
gands from every dime under heaven, who were
found intolerable in the company of more decent
men. This legion soon acquired tile habit ot
killing their officers, and at last no one could In
got to command them except Iskender Bey, then
Count lllinsky. He no sooner found himselfin
his new post than betook llieinitiative'hy killing
three men oil the spot, who give signs of insub
ordination. Everybody was expecting each day
to hear of his death ; but his troops, finding the
sort of man they had to deal with, gave up their
old practices, and followed him in action with
unconquerable valor aiid devotion.
‘ IL- left Spain and Portugal with eleven cross
es of various orders. 1835 found him at the fa
mous seige of Herat, in Persia, during the Russo-
Peisian difference which excited so much inter
est in our Indian possessions. The Chinese war
brought him to Canton, where lie was a specta
tor of the hostilities from beginning to end. lie
then entered the French service at Algeria, and
was present in most of the actions Abd el Rader,
and likewise shared in the dangers and disasters
oft he terrible retreat from Constantine. Heleft the
French army with thustarofthe legion of honor,
and, in 1848 took service in the Hungarian
war of independence, under his old champion in
arms, General Beni.
“The treachery and misfortune of 1849 sent
him into Turkey with a crowd of others. He
quickly obtained employment, and bore a prom
inent part in the champaigns of Bosnia and
Montenegro. In the former lie commanded a di
vision of the Turkish army, which defeated a
vastly superior force of the insurgents, and captur
ed a large number of their guns. This service
was most important, as it inflicted a blow on the
Bosnians from which they never recovered. The
government evinced its gratitude by raising him
to the rank of Pasha, but Austria and Russia
jointly protested against his elevation, and he
relieved the Sultan from hi* embarrassments by
voluntarily relinquishing his new dignity. He
now bears the grade of colonel of cavalry, and
has had command of the outposts of Habitat;
though nominally second to Miizur Pasha, the
son of Rescind Pasha, who, though quite a boy.
and without experience, as a brigadier of cavalry,
but has the good sense never to attempt to per
form the onerous duties attached to his rank.
“Iskender Bey is not above forty years of age
but war and weather and fourteen wounds have
done their work so well, (hat he looks fully ten
years older. Asa horseman and sabrer, he has
few equals, and probably no superior in Europe.
He is idolized by the soldiers, rather for his bril
liant courage than anything in his manner.—
When he first took the command of the outposts,
so high was the opinion entertained in Turkey,
as well as in the rest of Europe, of the capabilities
of the Cossacks that the Turkish troops viewed
them with considerable apprehension. When the
videttes saw two or three approaching they were
in the habit of rushing to Iskender Bey and report
ing the circumstances as one of grave import. —
He dissipated their illusions by a -very simple
process. Whenever he received news of the ap
pearance of two, three or fur r he mounted on
Aonpehack, rode out, and in the sight of his men,
flung himself into the midst of them, withzword
in band. They seldom awaited his onset, but
mnfewar they did, found reason to regret it. But
of this sort Wern sufficient to con
vince the soldlcro4}gft.r courageous man with a
g.xid sabre, had nothing tofearfrom the Cos
sacks.”

Failures. —Failures are becoming very fre
quent of late. Large houses are beginning to
tumble to pieces in all parts of the country. The
last failure of which we have heard is that of Mes
srs. Platt A Sons, of the great tea house of Phila
delphia. Their liabilities, we learn by telegraph,
aresupposed to amount totwo millions of dollars.
The libabilities of Messrs. Wright, Williams
k Cos., the cotton factors who lately failed at
New Orleans, are estiraatd at about two million
of dollars. This Failure, it is feared, will carry
with it some other houses in New Orleans and
New York, as well as establishments with which
the firm had extensive business connections in
England. The house of Meters. Greenwood 4
Cos., New Orleans, forwarding merchants, has al
so failed, but for what amount has not been as
