Rxh.l3, Sunday, Me-rch 14, CP. M, —The effect
,reduced t>y the execution c*f Oraini and Rierri has
hot yet entirely subsided in the mind of the public
it i* slid a topic of conversation and comment iu
every circle. The accounts appear to day in the
journals authorized to publish tuem are not so full
s ‘ lu’ wu-ch Iv as enabled to send you yesterday,
>\ t, > lar as the> go they corroborate its generai
accuracy. Ali concur in describing the demeanor
.j O.iiit throughout the whole of the terriblescene
i c atm- ing strongly with that of his fell w sut
•*-r r. Ho maintained both in his ceil and on the
A . afield the t*ame calmness, while his companion
- vLc.-,(i the rti *t nervous and fever .sh impatience
the one went to his doom with a tranquil deter
iuinauon that would have been admired in any oth
er oau-e than the execrable crime for w hich he died
the other affected to j ke and gibe, though he of
ered no ou rags to any One. He aid his utmost to
voik himself into a sot of wad excitement, per
haps t<> p; event his thoughts dwelling on the fate
urn wb; h there was no escape. Ofsiui, it is said,
deci.ued o accept refreshment ou the morning ot
his execution ; Rierri drank strong c< ffee and spirits
In presence of the instrument fit deatlfit was the
rt mi ; Orsmi was s ill collected I ■ eiieve Rierri's
i gir;g was cut short ou y by the guillotine itself,
i'ie.ri is said to have written a great oeal in the in
terval which elp?ed between his condemnation and
in-death. What these incoherent ravings were
about I cannot say. O.eini is said to have written
aie'pectful letter to the Rr*eureur Genera!, ac
know.edguig the equitable and honorable conduct
.fihe Court that ed him, andof the jury that
round him guilty, as well as the perfect liberty ac
,:(,r,;t;d to his counsel. We are told that he said that
t.r should regret the quashing of the judgment of the
A- size Court by the Court of Cessation, as in that
* vse he would have to be tried apain, and he was
certain the result would be the same.
If he had entered an appeal it was with a view to
have a lew more days at his disposal to settle his
iffairs, rather than troin a hope of escaping. He
% rote to his family two or three days alter ins con
demnation, and while the appeal whs Btillpending
but he wrote with the conviction ot a man
whose account with this world was closed. He
oke i that f is remains should be interred in a de
•, id coffin, and the prayer is said to be complied
with 11 1 left a will, but in it there is nothing of a
political character W hat passed bet ween the two
miserable men aud the chaplain of the prison when
left alone in ibeir cells, no one knows but the min
isters of religion; but I have not heard it alleged
that to any one else they expressed contrition tor
iheir crime s. Horror of the crime is not of course
dimluisln and, but the absence of bravado in Orsiui at
*(. iam-in nt causes h ; m to be consid red lets
unfavorably than the petuleut excitemeut. of bis
companion In his last will it is said Oreini re
quests that his remains shall be claimed by his
family.
The Paris correspondent of the Times, writing on
the 16th, says:
*Tt id positively affirmed that M. DePereigny baa
tendered his resignation as Ambassador in Loudon,
and that, in the event of lie being accepted, it is
orobable he may be succeeded by the Dujte de
Grammout.”
i i.e Daily News’ Paris correspondent writes : “It
is if oat confidently stated, in a quarter likely to be
well informed ou the subject, that the Minister of
Maaine ha- 1 sent a circular to tho Marat iue Prefects
advising the French Navy to be out on a war foot
ing by the tet of May.”
Correspondence from Paris generally describes
the effect of the correspondence between Lord
Malmesbury aud Count Walewskias uusatiafacio
ry, although ita publication produced no material
effect on the Bourse.
By a decision of the Minister of Finance the in
teres 1 on Treasury Bonds is fixed from tbe 16th of
March at 4 percent, on bonds having from three to
live mouths to ruu ; percent, for eix to eleven
mouths, and 4 percent, for a year.
Business continued very bad in Paris, with scarce
ly anything doing at Bourse.
The Globe s Paris correspondent is informed that
great efforts were mnde to intercept the Emperor’s
perusal of a multitude of auouymous letters, in
forming him that his own doom would follow the
execution of Oreini.
Ou Wtduesday night, for the firßt time since the
t erupt of the 15ib of January, the Emperor and
E n pres a visited the French opera in tbe Rue Le
peilitier. The correspondent ot the Times describes
the precautions taken on the occasion. For about
half an hour before his Majesty arrived the streets
w re completely crowded ; no groupe of persons
w&B allowed to remain oppesite the entrance. A
chain of sentinels was stationed ou both sides of the
pathway and the middle of the street was patrolled
now and then to keep it clear. The Emperor’s
carriage w is preceded by five or six Lancers, with
an etc rt of about twenty or thirty, not more than

THIRTY-FIFTH CONGRESS—It Seu*te.
Washington, March l’7.
HOUSE.
The House proceeded to the consideration of the
report of the special committee on the Matter-* n
ca*3, which concludes with a resolution that it is in
expedient to take further action in regard to tho re
solution for h.s expulsion.
Mr. Seward arguea in t- vor of the views express
ed iu the leport. The Hous-i has, by the cor.fcti u
tion, power to punish a member for disorderly con
duct. and by a vote of two-thirds may exp*-l a
member, but it never was designed that the charge
should be revived at a subsequent Cougrees, be
cause there is no power to limit or restrict the sov
ereignty ot the people in the choice of their repre
sentatives.
Mr. Craige, of N. C., asked whether any legi . a
tive body has not a right to protect itself against
jCoundrelism and against association with a mau
whose reputation is infamously corrupt.
vir. Seward replied that there was eo much di
versity of opinion as to what constitutes a gentle
man, he ehuuid like Mr. Craige to fix the legal stan
dard.
Mr. Craige said the House could protect l salt
when a man’s < haracter was pronounced ii la
uioui, and aoout which there was no diversity of
opiuion.
uVir. Seward remarked he was not heie as prose
cutor or defender of Mr. Matteson, but he wa en
deavoring to explain the law as he understood it.—
lie Mr. Craige to put his finger on the re
cord and show timt Mr. Matteson was interested
iu the trai BActions investigated by the previous
Congress.
Mr Craige said by universal consent Mr. Matte
son wa not a tit associate for any man.
Mr. Seward observed that the gentleman fr rn
Nunn Carolina wtu uut bound to associate wi:h Mr.
Matteson mure ban he was. There is nothing lo
ti.iuw that Matteson was engaged in bridery or was
bribed.
Mr . It t li e moved to lay the whole matter on the
table. Agreed to—yeas 96, nays 69.

aVIt. Smith, of Virginia, yesterday made a state
lneut to the t fleet that Air. Morris, of Illinois, iri
formed him that at the commencement of the pie
sent session of Congress the democratic portion of
thejlimois had a conference, and came
to the conclusion that the only chance of Judge
Douglas for re-election to the .Senate of the United
•States was fur him to oppose Kansas under the Lo
coruptou constitution.
Mr. Suaw, ol Illinois, to-day alluded to this state
ment and denied knowledge of any such corTe
rence , certainly he did not participate in any.
Mr Morris denied that a conference was held,
altli* ugh he recollected a private conversation in
which he freely made this gentleman aware of his
views on political questions, and sought to effect
some arrangement by which to avert division in the
democratic parly, lie said that Mr. Smith had
wholly misapprehended his remarks.
Messrs. Robert Smith and Marshall, both of Illi
nois, haid that no such eonterence was held.
Mr. Burnett, who evidently rose with reluctance,
as he did not wLh to be mixed up in this matter,
made a statement corroborating the statement of
Mr. Smith.
Mr. Morris remarked that the conversation be
tween Mr. Smith aud himself was a private one, in
tbe presence of his (Mr. Morris’) family, and asked
how would any gentleman like private con versa
tion to be repeated iu public.
Mr. Smith replied, in substance, that he had no po
litical secrets himself, and could see no difference
between public men aud public acta. But if a con
versation was under tho injunction of confidence
he. ot course, would not repeat it.
The Home went into committee, when Mr. Lane,

Mr. Hill, of Georgia, addressed the oommittee If
left to himsell he should say nothing on the Kansas
question, but he felt bound to expiess the views of
his intelligent and high-spirited constituency. Tne
evil of the day in his judgment was the blind, in
tolerant parly spirit which pervades the land. Dear
as his party organization was he would abandon it
if it should ever attempt tyratically to dictate hie
course. Tbe year 1801 found the country in peace,
but iu an evil hour lie feared the Democratic parly
came to the conclusion that it was necessary to * r
gaiiize certain Territories. At best this was a pre
mature measure, but the gravest error was the de
termination to repeal the Missouri compromise, a
measure and manded aud required by nobody. This
was al first opposed by tbe Democratic party, and
even denounced by the Washington Union as a Whig
trick. He was not an advocate of the Missouri re
utriciiou ; on the contrary, be always regarded it as
extra constitutional; but nothing was to be gained
bv its repeal, which disturbed the public tranquility
and renewed sectional agnation.
lie deprecated the course of partisan papers in
denouncing Senators Ciittenden, Bell and Douglas,
who had, iu his opiuion, only acted from couscii n
tious convictions and patriotic motives, a'though
he OiffVred from theirconclusions. He then alludtd
to events iu Kansai Territory. lie was satisfied
that the Lecompti n Convention was legally consti
tuted, and had power to form such a constitution as
they caw fir ; and that the Lecomp’on constitution
was legal and egular. Intrinsically he saw nothing
iu that instrument to complain of. l’he Conveniiou
had power eitner to su mil the whole instrumuit,
or a part of it, or to withhold the whole It was the
wisest course to stop this miserable agitat on by
admitting Kansas under the Le ompton constitu
tion ; and then let the people oi Kansas amend it as
t eypleasid. lie had no sympathy with either of

elusion, lie appea'ed to Northern men to treat the

The vote by which the amended bill finally passed
was precisely the same as tbe above.
The announcement was greeted with applause
from the gentlemen’s gallery.
Mr. Keitt moved that it be cleared, and insisted
on the enforcement of the rule.
Much confusion prevailed. The Speaker re
minded the applauders that they were not in the
gallery of a theatre, and said if the indecorum was
repeated the galleries should be cleared.
A voice—“ Except the ladies.”
Another—“ Certainly.”
The House then proceeded to vote on the Sen
ate bill aa amended by Mr. Montgomery’s substi
tute, which was passed—yeas 120, nays 112. •
The House then immediately adjourned.
IN SENATE April 2.
Nothing important was transacted during the
morning hour.
The Kansas bill frrm the House was taken up and
the amendments read.
Mr. Green called up the bill which has recently
passed Ihe House of Representatives providing for
the admission of Kansas into the Union. After it
had been read, he moved that the Senate disagree
to the amendment of the House.
Mr. Bigler in a few remarks argued against the
bill of the House of Representatives, which he
thought involved a departure from the doctrine of
non-intervention to which the Democratic party
was pledged by the Kansas Nebraska act. by the
Cincinnati platform, and by its declared policy with
respect to the Territories. This doctrine when first
enunciated was somewhat new, but had commend
ed itself to the good sense and patriotism of the
country as no less liberal than constitutional in
theory. He al.-o objected to the House bill because,
in case of the rejection of the Lecompton Constitu
tion, it authorizes the admission of Kansas under a
new Constitution, which, if accepted by the people,
is to be final. Who could say that this new Con
stitution might not be vitiated by the same frauds
which are alleged against the Lecompton instru
ment ? He therefore could not give his assent to
tbe House bill ?
Mr. Douglas thought that those who favored the
admiss on of Kansas iuto the Union as a means of
pacification were pledged to support tbe bill as it
came from the House. This would dispose of the
question peacefully and forever. No intervention
was contemplated by that measure. It simply
sought to provide the means for ascertaining whe
ther or not the Lecompton Constitution embodied
the will of the people of Kansas. So far from in
fringing the doctrine of popular sovereignty ss
enunciated in the Kansas Nebraska act, it did but
give that principle anew guarantee, and one which
the President had most unequivocally approved in
his annual message. Those who sincerely desired
to •’ localize the agitation” had now the means of
accomplishing this desirable object by acceding to
the bill of the House ot Representatives.
Mr. Pugh opposed the amendment of tbe House,
as not only UDjust and unfair, but also as unconsti
tutioual and violative of the rightsof the people of
Kansas. That people had formed a Constitution
through their representatives at Lecom: ton, and it
wes not the part of Congress to interpose between
tbe people and their delegates. He objected also to
the restrictions imposed by the House bill on the
rights of suffrage in the Territory—a restriction
which he thought would insure the rejection ol the
L* c mpton Constitution without regard to its merits.
The question being then taken on the motion to
disagree to the bill of the House, it was carried,
yeas 32, nays 23. „
The uavs were as follows : Messrs. Bell, Brode
rick, Cameron. Chandler, Clark, OoUamer, Critten
den, Diion, Doolittle, Douglas. Fessenden, Foot,
Foster, Hale. Hamlin, King, Seward, Simmons,
Stuart. Trumbull, Wade and Wilson.
Those absent were Messrs. Bates, Davis, Durkee,
Hendrson, Reid, Sumner and Toombs.
Mr. Douglas then moved that the Minnesota bill
be taken up for consideration. Other Senators ex
pressing a wish for an adjournment, a motion to
lhat effect was made and ft st, yeas 27, nays 27.
Mr. Mallory ’hen moved to call np the private
calender, with a view of passingsome private bills.
Mr. Douglas opposed the motion and demanded the
yeas and nays. The motion was lost—yeas 21,
nays 29.
Mr. Ynlee then moved that the Senate adjourn
Mr. Douglas spoke briefly in opposition, and isisted
that the Minnesota bill should be taken ud. He de
sired to see who was opposed to her admission into
i the Union. The motion to adjourn was lost —yeas
26, nays 26.
i The Minnesota bill being before the Senate, Mr.
| Fitch, of Indiana, avowed hiiEßelf a friend of the
i bill, but added that he was unwilling to be dragoon
ed by Mr Douglas into its support at unreasonable
hours. Mr. Douglas disclaimed a wish to dragoon
anv Senator, but it was his duty as Chairman of the
Committee ou Territories, to insist that the undis
puted right o! Minnesota to be admitted into the
Union, should no longer be postponed, after having
been kept in abeyanc.- lor months by the doubtful
claims ot Kansas.
Mr Bci j unin hereupon moved that the Senate
adjourn. The motion being rejected—yeas 25, nays
27—a few remarks were made by Messrs. Fitc-h and
Green upon the manifest impossibility of coming to
any decision on the bill dnring tbe day's session.
As it would come np first in order among the unfin
ished business on Monday next, they thought it best
to adjourn till that day with this understanding. The
Senate seeming generally to acquiesce in this ar
rangement, an adjournment was again moved and
earned without division at 3f o’clock.
From Ike Lrondoa Times of Milk March, 1858.
state of A flair- iu France —Imperial Di-truwt
and i'opulur Oppression.
It can serve no good purpose for us to avoid al
lusiou to a matter which bas become tbe subject of
common conversation, and which may at any time
produce consequences important to ourselves. The
position of the French Government and Ihe state ot
things which now exists iu Paris are notoriously the
cause of much uneasiness throughom Europe. The
feeling must naturally be strongest in th s country.
Wears close neighbors of France; we are joined
to the French people politically and commercially;
we are not only their allies, acting with them on
several great European questions, out, what is of
even more importance, the two communities are
united by commercial relations, which affect the in
tciests direcuy or indirectly of halt the families in
England.
The prioe for k rench funds and French railway
•bares are quoted every day ou the London market,
our manufacturers supply the French with a uum
ber ot articles, and our people take other articles iu
return. Then the English are fond of travelling aud
excursions. Paris is within twelve hours of Lou
don, and they have of late years come to consider
a \ i?it to the French capi.al as a pleasant way of
Spending a tew days which tney may have to spare.
So, walls fatly admitting that no nation hue a
right to interfere in the domestic concerns of France,
we must be allowed to express our sorrow at tha
system ot government which is being organized m
tnat country, and to raise a voice ut remousirauus
while there ia yet time. This we do with no feeling
of hostility to the existing authorities, but merely
ia tfie interest of quiet aud good order fn Europe.—
Common sense, wjbu blinded by fear or the intoxi
cation of power, must point out how dangerous are
elaborate schemes of surveillance and repression,
and how hopeles is the attempt to check tue
tongues cr watch the movements of many millions
of people.
We are told that the Ministry of police is to be
re organized, and that its Ccief will be placed iu
the first rank of Ministers. He should, iudeed, take
precedence of them all, for every thing seems like
ly to be brought within the sphere of his control.—
The gay city of Paris, the home of social interoourse
or lively conversation aud free opiuions, hardly
knows itself. The outward aspect of the place is
the same ; there are the same Boulevards, the same
fountains flashing in the sun, the same cases fre
quented by the same loungers, and in private life
the same drawing rooms, aud hangings, and toilets.
But over everything there is gloom and uneasiness.
People are talking ;im dly and with usual dullness
on unusually commou-plaoe topics.
Families are hesitating whom they shall visit aud
whom they shall be visited by. Meu consider wheth
er they ought to Oe seen walking with a friend whom
they have known tor years. Iwo persons will be
speaking together and ou seeing a third about to
join them, will suddenly pause and turn the conver
sation. There will be iu the midst of social con
course a man whs checks the mirth aud puts a guard
on every tongue. People will ta k with him, shak?
hands with him but they will be careful oi wh it tF r y
say before him. Individuals ai e careful what h ooks
they have iu their libraries, what papers thev have
in the writiug desk. They do not ‘.tt k affably with
their inferiors as light-hearted Frenchme’u in the old
times did. The concierge, the waiter at the case,
even the private servants are kept at a distance. Xii
a railway carnage it is well not to tx- too communi
cative with a neighbor. In a letter it is well to Con
fineyourselt to y ur own private business and geod
wishes for your correspondent’s health. For Paris
aud Franca are under strict surveillance, and no
one knows who are watchers and who are the watch
ed. The Empire is espomnage. Its incarnation is
a mtnichard.
It is not only that recognized agents of police are
in every street aud every public place, that tie
comings and goings of weli known Democrats are
watched, that the assemblies of Communists are
haunted out but meu of every rank, every phase of
character every shade of political opinions, are at
the mercy of au immense army of spies, wjio pene
trate everywhere, who follow, the individual into the
confidence even of his family and his private life,
aud who spread distrust and apprehension through-
out the country.
It ha 6, indeed, long been the misfortune of France
that the security of private relations has been weak
ened by the means used by Government to obtain
intelligence, and this fact has doubtless had no tittle
effect on society, aud domestic life ; but it would
seem that now the evil has assumed fearful propor
tions. We hear of professional spies of eveiy ap
parent rank iu life, from the well dressed gentleman
to the workrnau iu his houße ; we hear of loretf.es
paid for intormatiou couceruiug those with whom
they associate, we hear of hotels and restaurants
being visited by persons whose duty it is to listen
to tbe conversation of suspicious visiters, and to
endeavor to draw them into an expression of opin*
ion. But the worst feature of all is the encourage
ment of domestic treachery by the corruption of
private servants. No one can be Secure that the
man who brushes his coat, or the woman who at
tends ou his children, is not in correspondence witn
the police. We are nut now repeating any pobe
mouche gossip ; we are merely stating facta proved
buyond a doubt, and commenting ou practices
which are not even denied. Domestic servants of
every degree are encouraged to report what passes
iu the houses where they are employed—who comes,
who goes, what is said, what is proposed to oe done.
Apart from the moral and gredation which a govern
ment receives by a resort to such practices, it is
evi .eut that the information must be most untrust
worthy. The sort of half-knowledge which ser
vants have of their master’s proceedings will natu
rally cause them to distort all they see and hear.
Tue most innocent conversation will be misinter
preted ; any allusion which the spy does not under
stand will be construed into treason; a letter (rom
Eugland or a trip into Switzerland will be at once
a correspondence with refugees, and disuffection
will be found iu a shrug of the shoulders or a rais
ing of the eyefirow. lluw much will this tendency
to exaggeraliou be increased when the servant
knows that the value of his report aud the reward
he receives rise iu proportion to the incrimination of
his victims
Such a system as this, added to the new law of
public security and the appointment of Gi-n. Espi
nassc, has naturally thrown over the capital a gloom
which seems not likely to be dissipated. The bane
ful consequences, even iu a material point of view,
are to be found in the sudden depression of
business and the general auxiety of the mercantile
world.
The whole policy of the French government of
late is iudeed much to be regretted. No one who
has watched the career of the Emperor and has
seen his opportunities, can help regretting that he
should have allowed those who surrounded him to
entangle him in such a not. He has involved him
self iu a system, which no man can hope to control,
and which roust every day become more unman
ageable. He is striving to take the whole ol France
into custody. To have every man of wealth, or
position, or political note in the empire, every theo
rist, or fauactie, or vain glorious democrat, or reck
less desperado under his eye, is tbe purpose of the
present ruler. That he must be ui,successful we
know before hand, and the question is whether the
only evil will fie Che rallure of his object. Our own
opiuion must be, that such a machinery wilt tend to
create the spirit it seeks to repress. Sedition will
be generated by the intolerable omnipresence of
the police. Every advance of the new power will
necessitate a still lurther extension, until a crisis ar
rives, on whicq it would be permature to speculate.
Pork Packing in the West —Although not as
complete as desired, yet sufficiently so for the use
they are iutented, we have concluded to publish iu
our present number the statistics we have collected
of pork packed in the Western States the present
season, and more especially are we urged to do so,
without further delay, because, upon putting our j
returns in shape arid footing them up, we find the
result materially different lrom wlmt we or what
ha3 been generally expeoted, aud consequently
calculated to produce considerable effect upon the
market.

As Compared with last year this is an increase of
about fifteen per cent.
With reference to the weight, we endeavored to
obtain the comparative averages from all the pack

places. From one hui-dred and thirty-two places
we obtained the average weights of an equal num
ber of hogs at those places each season stand as

1856-7 186,393,240
Increase thiß year 8,874,753
This increase is equal to about 4j percent., which
is equal to 101,211 hogs, and being added to the in
crease in nuinber, makes the total increase in num
ber and weight equal to 379,510 hogs.
Asa general thing, packing commenced a month
later the past than previous seasons aud was con
tinued later. A larger quantity of pork bas been
cured by farmers generally the pant season than
usual, and this has been more extensively done in
Missouri, lowa and Illinois, than elsewhere, owing
to the unsatisfactory state of financial matters,
and to the feet that all those farmers who held over
their meat the two previous years made money by
it. —Cincinnati Price Current, Mar oh 24.
The Causes of Irish Emigration.— lt ia hardly
to be wondered at that emigration from Ireland
amounts to 100,01)0 annually when we read the ac
counts of destitution which recent official investi
gations have biouglit to light in the county of Don
egal. Here is a picture of wretchedness which
makes one shudder : “ I entered one of the dwel
lings on ail fours, through a hole in the wall, and I
there fnuud an aged matron. She was seated be
fore a fire on the hearth, the turf of which had been
dug by the male members of the family. There was
no window or aperture to admit the light of day,
save the hole by which I entered. The head of the
bed was iu tbe corner; a few sods of turf at head
aud foot to support it, a board tor the side with a
few sticks thrown across, one end inserted in the
wall, and the other er.d supported by stones and
turf.’ There was no bed tick, no clothing, with the
exception of a woollen rag, nor was itsuffieitnt in
size for a single grown adult.” This is revolting
enough, but the account of tbe food of another fam
ily iu the same district is even more harrowing:
Jn auother house we asked what their food was,
and they exhited a me'al pot which contained the
meal for tbe family. Tnia was chopped or pounded
potatoes in a pulp, and with th : s pulp reheated, and
with some sea weed, which they exhibited in a
woeden vessel, this made up their dinner and sup
per in one meal.” The same journal which gives
these horrifying details states that the casts men
tioned are not exceptional—they apply to the poor
of the whole district. Lord Eglingt iii declared that
the six years which have elapsed since he left Ire
land had greatly improved the resources of the
country. This statement may,we believe, be receiv
ed as a fact. Bit the question must occur to every
mind, if this is still the condition of a large portion
of the poor in different parts of Ireland, and even in
the north, the most favored district, what was it in
the worst days of Ireland's gloom! Such disclo
sures as we have noticed show that tbe work of em
igration must progress for years to come, and it is
well, perhaps, for suffering humanity that it should.
Washington Items —A bill in reference to the
Court Claims, now before the House of Representa
tives, provides for making the decisions of that
body final, uolea? an appeal is had to t e Supreme
Court; or, unless the Court chooses in cases of
equity to report the eviden e in Congress. As at
present con6fi'uted, the Court of Claims amounts
really to nothing more than a Commission to take
testimony, and has no greater authority than the
Committee of Congrees which formerly performed
the same labor, as its decisions, in all cases, must be
reported to Congress to final adjudication.

AUGUSTA, GA,
WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRII, 7, ISSS.
THINGS TO REMEMBER!
READ THEM.
As it is always best that men who have busi
ness transactions together, should understand each
other fully, we hope every’ reader of the Chronicle
4t Sentinel will read and remember what follows:
THREE DOLLARS A YEAR.
The terms of the Weekly Chronicle it Sentine
are three dollars a tear; or,
TWO DOLLARS A YEAR,
If paid in advance or Within three months after the
commencement of the subscription year. After
that time three dollars will invariably be
charged.
That every subscriber may “save his dollar,”
a notioe will be sent in his paper, a few weeks be
fore his time expires, notifying him on what day his
subscription terminates.
Errors Corrected.
If any man perceives the slightest error in his
bills, let him inform us immediately, and we wil’
cheerfully correct it. No necessity for getting into
a passion about it. All we want is what is ngh
and just, and we do it when we know it.
Marriages. Deaths, Obituaries.
The price for publishing a Marriage or Death,
fifty cents. The money must always accompany
the order.
The charge for publishing Obituaries is ten cents
for each printed lino.
flow to Write to an Editor. *
First, write the name of your Post Office, plainly,
at the head of your letter. Then state, in a (few
words as possible, to make yourself understood*
what you wish, and sign your name so that it can be
read. *
If you wish your paper changed from one Post
Office to another, do it in these words ;
“Change my paper from P. O. to
P. O.”
Be certain to write the name of both Post Offices*
plainly, and always name the Post Office at which
you have been receiving your paper.
A subscriber can discontinue his paper at any
time he wishes. All he has to do, is to request it in
a note, or return the paper marked “Refused,” and
write the name of his Post Office on the margin.
We wish every Postmaster would remember and
observe these suggestions for changing and stopping
papers. If they would, their duties would be muoh
more correctly and satisfactorily performed.
If you write any man on your own business, and
w'sh a reply, enclose a postage stamp to pay the
postage on the reply. It is enough to tax a man’s
time to reply to your letters on your own business
without taxing him to pay the postage.
We Always Send lieceipts.
If you send us money and do not reoeive a reoeipt
in a reasonable time, either in yonr paper or in a
1 etter, write us immediately and inform us that yo
have sent the money. For, in these days of Post
Office thieving, every letter containing money does
not reach its destination.
Money Mailed at our ltisk.
We take the risk on all money mailed to us, if the
bills are not cut. If cut, the party sending them
takes the risk.
Correction.
The word “ Continued ,” under the head of “Moat-
Grange’” in our last Weekly paper, was an error
which we exceedingly regret, as it may have caused
some of our readers to pass over the commencement
of the very interesting story which we continue this
week. The commencement of the story was pub
lished in our last week a issue, March 31st.
Resumption of Specie Payments,
The Savannah Republican learns from “ a relia
ble source, that the Banks of Savannah and Augusta
have resolved, unconditionally, to resume specie
payments on the first day of May next.’’
This result migb t have been accomplished thirty
or sixty days ago, with as much, or more ease to the
Banks and public, as thirty days hence, it the Le
gislature and Governor had possessed sufficient in
telligence upon the subject, to have enacted salu
tary laws compelling their resumption on the first
of February, March or April. But unfortunately
for the country, their action has only served to crip
pie the Banks imd retard the resumption ot specie
payments. If, however, they shall acquire suf
ficient intelligence, in the interim, and repeal the
aot when they meet again, and at the samo time
apply some judicious restrictions, the country will
be benefited and the interests of the people pro
moted by this subsequent legislation.
While on the subject of resumption, we cannot
forego the opportunity to make some enquiry about
the Anti-Bank aoid Veto Supporting meetings, the
proceedings of which were so suddenly thrust upon
the notice of the country—a few weeks 6ince.—
What has become of the small demagogues and
political intriguers and tricksters who figured in
them ? Have they all disappeared ? Or are they
quieily engaged in concocting another batch of re’
solutions, to endorse and re affirm Gov. Brown’s
knowledge of finance and banking, and his profi
ciency in Book-keeping 7 Among all of them, we
feel most solicitous about that “ worthless rag”
committee and meeting, who thundered forth from
Macon, and proclaimed war to the knife, upon all
banka and “ bank rags.’’ We really feel some anx
iety for the fate of these faithful defenders, fearing
that they may yet be laboring under the hallu
cination, that the bills of the Banks of Savannah
and Augusta are “ worthless rags ,” and, therefore,
dispose of them at a ruinous sacrifice. Verily, t hose
fellows are in great danger of suffering ruinous
losses, and the press of Macon should warn them in
due season, lest they become the victims of sharpers
and money changers. What an important truth
these demagogues announced to the publio, that the
bills of the Basks of Savannah and Augusta were
“worthless rags'’ Were Munchausen inexist
ence, would he not be compelled to award the p&lm
to these Macon currency tinkers of the Brown
school?
Qualification of Vote™ in Minnesota.
By the Constitution of Minnesota, with which Bhe
is now seeking admission as a State into the Union,
“unnaturalized foreigners, half-breeds, and Indians
who have adopted the habits of civilization,” are
authorised to vote !
In speaking of this Democratic feature of the
Constitution, Senator Brown, of Mississippi, a
Democrat, in his speech in the Senate, remarked :
I object particularly to the “basis of the franchise,
which allows unnaturalised foreigners to vote;
also half-breeds and Indians who have adopted
habits of civilization—that is, those who put on
pants, spurs, shirt collars, gel drunk, and thus fixed
up, fulfil the constitutional essentials of the ballot
box.”
“ The Stouth should Reject Lecoml^ton.’ ,
What will the harmonious Democracy of the
South say to such language as this, from the Louis
ville Democrat, the leading organ of the party in
Kentucky ? Will they read that journal out of the
party, or will they harmonise and affiliate with it, to
secure its support in the next contest for the spoils 1
We shall see. Tne Democrat is violently opposed
to the admission of Kansas with the Lecompton
Constitution, and with great earnest contends :
That the South “ought to have been the first to
reject Lecompton. She ought to have said: we
want a slave State, but we shall have nothing to do
with this apparent advantage ; we see it is acci
dental, and that it is sourrounded with shameless
frauds. We shall not touch it. You have our bond,
freely given, that a constitution of the Teiritory of
Kansas shall be made by her people, acting through
the legally and/atr/y expressed will of a majority
of actual residents. We see that this Lecompton
affair is net as it is written in this bond, and we
shall have nothing to do with it. This would have
given to the South a moral influence in this Govern
ment, that would have lasted half a century. It
would even have overwhelmed Northern agitators.
But the South seems otherwise disposed, as far as
she has spoken ; and, if she perseveres, she must
count the cost What does she propose to .gain ?
Not credit, or friends ; and not a slave State, as she
well knows. But, it is said, we just want to have
an experiment made; we want a test; we want to
see if a slave State can be admitted. Well, have
not all the friends of the South in the free States
said, from first to last, that they would admit a
slave State if a majority of her people desired it ?
Have they not said so at home—and have not their
people sustained them—and have they not now the
power to do it ? But, says the South, we want the
test; we shall not trust professions. We have this
only to say : those who treat friends after this fash
ion, are not likely to have any long”
The same paper has the following significant para
graph, and rather direct thrust at some of the new
converts to Democracy. The Democrat we think
should be careful, or the Union will perform the
rediculous farce of reading it out of the harmonious
Democracy. Which will certainly be an awful
catastrophe :
“Tne Democrats of the Ohio Legislature have
repealed the acts of that State designed to nullify
the fugitive slave law, the bill against kidnapping,
as.arreeting fugitive slaves was called, and the bill
prohibiting the use of jails for the confinement of
runaway negroes- Taese Democrats are anti-Le
compton. Tney are the same men that a few fresh
men in the Democratic party denounced as ‘Black
Republicans.’ They will, in obedience to the con
stitution, defy sectional prejudice at home and
abroad ‘’ —Louisville Democrat.

The Easter? Sbore Railroad Claim.—The
people of the Eastern Shore appear to be in earneet
in relation to their claim to the balance of the one
million appropriation made under .he act of 1835.
A call, signed without distinction of party, has been
issued in Worcester county for a mass meeting, to
be held at Snow Hill on the 6th of April, to appoint
delegates to the Easton convention, and to “ adopt
necessary measures to maintain and preserve the
importance of the Eastern Shore as a component
part of the State, and protect ourselves from injus
tice and oppression.”- A similar meeting is to be
held at E.kton on the same day.

The New Yotk Herald has a report, furnished by
its Washington correspondent, of the caucus of the
Lecomptou and Auti-Leeomptonites. The intelli
gent reader will be forcibly impressed w ith the fact,
that the whole object of the meeting was to har
monise the discordant elements of the Democracy
to which the interests of the country, with these
demagogues, were of comparatively trilling inte
rest. The following is the Herald's account :
Washington, March 27,1858.
Mr. Cochrane issued a notice this morning for a
democratic caucus to be held in the hall of the House
at half-past seven o’clock this evening.
At the appointed time between sixty and seven
ty members were present. Mr. Cochrane was call
ed to the chair, and Mr. Seward, of Georgia, was
appointed secretary.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, stated the object of the
meeting to be to confer together—the Lecomptou
and anti Lecompton democrats —and see if some
arrangement could not be made to unite the dis
cordant elements. He was ready to hear any sug
gestion from those gentlemen upon tliis Kansas
difficulty. He had uever yet been able to ascer
tain what those gentlemen desired. He, for one,
was for unity and harmony, and desired above %li
things to preserve the party intact; and he be
lieved it could be done it a proper spirit was mani
fested.
Mr. English, of Indiana, then offered the follow
ing resolution :
Resolved, That a committee be appointed by the
chair, to consist of teu Lecompton and ten anti Le
comptou democrats, whose duty it shall be lo con
fer together, and ascertain whether anything can
be done to secure harmony and concert ot action
in reference to the question of admitting Kansas
into the Union ; and that said committee report the
result ot their deliberations to this caucus, for its
consideration, on Tuesday evening nex, at 8 o’clock,
to which time the caucus will adjourn.
Mr. Engish said he was not in the habit of
obtruding his opiuious but he felt that great re
sponsibility res ltd upon every democratic repre
seututive. He concurred in what Mr. Stephens liad
said in reference to the importance of promoting
harmony in the democratic tarnily. He iiked the
conciliatory spirit of his speech jaiid deeply regretted
thatsucua fraternal spirit had not been earlier
manitested. If it had been, much of the existing
trouble and bad feeling would have been avoided.
He spoke of the danger to the democratic party
likely to grow out ot this question if it were not
settled, and uiged the committee from each side to
meet on terms of equality, aud as members ot the
same democratic household to counsel together.
Good might come of it , and, at all events, it no
agreement couid be effected, matters would be no
worse than they now are. lie could scarcely think
-of a greater calamity than the division and over
throw of the democratic parly, aud the elevation to
its place of one purely sectional. Ihe question with
him was not so much what ought to have been
done with this question originally, as what could be
done with it in the position to which it has drifted.
The resolution was then adopted,jaud the caucus
adjourned to meet on Tuesday evening next.
Ltquoß Inspection.—A correspondent of the
Savannah Republican, writing front Upson county,
says :—“A man died one day last week just over
the line in Pike county, from drinking poisonous li
quor, aud last night a citizen of this county—a
neighbor to the former—died from the same cause.
Otherß have been very ill who partook of the liquor
wkiok was obtained troin Griffin and brought lo a
grocery near the line between this county aud Pike.
No post mortem examination has been made ot eith
er of the persons who died, but enough has been as
certainea to satisfy the attending physicians, that
the liquor contained strychnine or other delete) ious
substances. I have heard of other persons, in oth
er parts of the country, who have been made sick
by a single di ink of this vile stuff. What has be
come of the excellent law passed at the late session
of the Legislature, providing for the appointment
of inspectors of liquor 7 There should, at least, be
one in Savannah, Augusta, Athens, Atlanta, Macou,
and Columbus. These are the gates through which
the State is flooded.”
We take up the question of our correspondent,
says the Repulican , and ask, what has become of
these new officials whose appointment was provi
ded for by the last legislature 7 We have looked
over the “by authority” publications of the Mil
ledgeville papers for the law, but have been unable
to fiud it j consequently we can give no informa
tion of the provisions in regard to the manner of ap
pointing the inspectors. The matter, however, is
one ot importance, and those whose business it is,
should see that the law is carried into effect with
out further delay. The surest way, though, to pro
vide against the evil, is to quit Shrinking the vile
stuff that men “put into their mouth’s to steal awuy
their brains.”
Business Failures. —The number of failures
for the first eighty five days of this year was 1,495
and the total amount of liabilities is set down at
thirty millions six hundred and thirty-nine thousand
dollars. Os these failures 23, it is Btated, were in
Baltimore, with liabilities amounting to $1,535,000,
and 10 in Maryland at large, with liabilities amount
ing to $164,000. In some other States the failures
were as follows:
Failures. Debts.

Progress of American Arts. —A watch manu
factory has been established in Waltham, Mass.,
where the separate parts of a watch are stamped
ont by machinery, and are made so exactly alike,
that parts of one watch will fit the works of a thou
sand other watches of the same size ; and in repar
ing, new parts without deranging the other works.
The jewels are bored by hand, and the correspond
ing pivots fitted to them by females. The simplest
kind of lever watch, without the fusee, is the form
adopted and they can turn out about ten thousand
per annum. It is said that better machineiy for a
watch will ere long be made for $5, than was made
fifty years ago for $l5O.
The Star, a journal of Los Angelos, California
states that Col. Thomss L. Kane, of Philadelphia’
lately passed through San Bernardino, on hie way
from Washington to Salt Lake City. While at San
Bernardino, he offered the sum of SISOO to any one
who would carry him to the city in a fortnight. The
Star supposes, from the former connection of Col.
Kane with the Mormons, that he earned instruc
tions for Brigham Young from Mr. Bernhisel; but
it appears that some persons at Sau Bernardino,
who arrested him and examined his papers, on the
suspicion that he might be a Mormon emissary, were
satisfied that their impressions were unfounded,
and that he really was an agent of President Bu
chanan.
Seventy Years a Preacher. —The London
Watchman records that the Rev. John Hickling
ninety-three years of age, and having been seventy
years a preacher, on the 26th of February delivered
a discourse of an hour and twenty minutes on “Early
Methodism,” and that in its delivery “there was no
deficiency of voice, memory or mental power, but
the whole was oonneoted, interesting and instruc
tive.” On the 28th he preaobed twice to overflow
ing congregations, his discourses being each an hour
long, and distinguished “by good sense, fervor, en
ergy and pathos.”
Tennessee State Aid.—The Tennessee Legisla
ture withdrew State Aid to Railroads not commenc
ed, amounting in the aggregate to $5,480,500. It
did this by consolidating many roads, and by re
fusing to extend the time in which many were re
quired to commence operations. It thus reduced
the prospective State liability the above sum. It
consolidated the Nashville and Chattanooga and
the Memphis and Charleston Railroads from Steven
son to Chattanooga, on such terms as will rendei the
track a good one, and equal to both roads as a main
trunk that far.
Another Verdict against the Great West
ern Railroad Company —ln the Merrittsville As-
Bizes on the 24th inet., the suit of Morley vs. the
Great Western Railroad Company, resulted in a

Southern Medical and Suroical Journal.—
The April number of this valuable Medical Periodi
cal, is promptly on our table, freighted with its usu
al vareity of original and miscellaneous matter.—
We have so repeatedly called the attention of the
Profession to this Journal, that we only deem it
necessary to say, that fully sustains the high stand
that it has heretofore sustained with the Profession,
and we cordially recommend it to the Profession.
It is edited by Professor 11. F. be. It. Campbell,
M. D., and publiihed in this city by J. Morris, at
$3 per annum, in advance.
War Between Brazil and Paraouary.—Ac
cording to the advices received in England by the
steamer Tyne, Brazilians were collecting a large
naval and military force at Montevideo for the pur
pose of attaeting Paraguary. Tney were only de
laying until the arrival of some gun boats from
England. The news by the Tyne is that the Gov
ernment party at Montevideo had prevailed agait at
,ts opponents. A battle had been fought about
eighty miles from the city in which the government
troops were victorious. The Commander in-Chief
and the chief officers of the opposition force were
taken prisoners. The representatives of the foreign
powers interfered with the Montevidean Govern
ment to spare the lives of the prisoners. Clemency
was promised, but before the Government pardon
could be transmitted the whole of the prisoners had
been shot.
Irving College. —Among the many good rules
of this flourishing institution, which is located at
Manchester, Md ,is the following: “The regular
reading of good periodicals is, in more than one
respect, considered of great importance; every
student therefore is requested to subscribe to some
good paper, according to his own selection and with
the approval of the faculty.” Another good rule is
that exercises conductive to the symmetrical deve
lopment of the body, each as Military tactics
Gymnastics, Swimming, Ac., are conducted under
the special supervision of a professor.
Stop the Murderer.— From the Covington
Type of the Times we extract the following: Just
as we were going to press, a note from Dr. Campbell
to Dr. Hendrick, of this city, brought information
of the murder of M. M. Gay, Esq., of this county.—
The murder was committed by a free negro named
Mike Davis, a copper colored fellow with snaggle
teeth, about 50 yearß of age. He will probably at
tempt to make his way to Macon. He dresses well.
No further description is given.
The Virginia Banks. —The Bank of the Valley,
at Leesburg, has unanimously resolved to resume
specie payments as soon as it gets permission from
the mother-bank at Winchester. It is stated that
the banks in Alexandria are ready and willing to
resume specie payments, whenever the other banks
of the State agree.
San Francisco Mint. —Daring the month of
February, the sum of $700,000 in double eagles was
coined at this mint. During the same month, 110
ounces of silver and 77,771 ounces of gold bullion
were deposited.

Lieut. Ives’ Exploration of the Colorado
not a Failure —Private letters received from
Fort Yuma, says the Washington States, show that
there is no truth in the statement furnished by the
San Diego Herald, as regards the expedition under
Lieut. Ives. The b earner Jeaup, belonging to tin
trausportatiou company, w hich was forced to give
up ascending the Colorado for w r aut of provisions,
was in no way connected with Lit ut. L'C's’ party
As this boat returned, i-he pas Lieut. 1 and the
mouth of the Bill Williams’ Folk, and despatches
which the War DeparUn nt received from hi r. sta
ted that his boat had fulll led all his expecta on*—
that he should push on to the head of navi ai* n,
(which the Jesup had failed to reach,) and that, lie
was confident ot ultimate success. Thia ivns t! e
last authentic information rec. ived diiect from him
The Jesup, on her way down, w. a sunk beioie
reaching Fort Yuma, aid consequently did no: as
cend aud fail a second time, bee*, iseof Indiau hi r
tilities, as stated in the Sau Herald.
It is remarkable that the last three si earners frrm
California have brought nothing in relation to Lt
Ives, in the newspapers, but prognostications or as
sertions of his failure. First, his Jaoat was pro
nounced unsuitable, then she whs reported be’pleFS
ly aground, both of which were contradicted L y the
letteis from him, aud now that ho is too fur ad
vanced to send informat ion back, his boat 1 - fiei i
reported sunk, and his expedition a failure. Sjc
misrepresentation of an officer on a distant and ti j
iug service is contemptible on the part of those wl o
originated it, if intentional; and if the result of ig
norance, is little leas culpable wi.en it misleads the
public. ••
Accident from Fire. —We learn from the Co
lumbus Sun, t)*at Mrs. Dai ie ! , wife of J. 11. Dan
iel of that city, and daughter of the Hon. Alfred
Iverson, was seriously burnt by her clothes t :ki*;
fire, at Griffin, Thursday morning last. Th ; Su>
says : “She stooped down before the fire to tie ih
shoes of her little child, when her dress came in < i
tact witli the flames, aud in a moincut it wa in >
blaze. With a presence of mind, which wa truly
extraordinary, she uttered no cry, aud did nor open
her mouth or draw her breath, but went to the b. and
aud pulled off some of the covering aid enveloped
herself in it, and.then fell bn the flror and thus ex
tinguished the flames, but not until mrst of her
clothing had been burnt off ut her, aud hersclt badly
burned.”
Knight of Mount Vernon —A genfleman of
Alabama having been constituted a “Knight oS
Mount Vernon,” the Tuscaloosa Monitor wants to
know what this is. Having Raked the question il
goes on after this style :
“ But a‘ /\ 7 light of Mount Vernon’ to bes. soci
ated in idea with the Republican eiu plicity of the
citizen George Washington uoe ; sound <* ludicroi h ,
ly ridiculous that we can only be surprised tout Mr.
Yancey, or any other sensible man in this < uiHy, !
would accept the foolish title. Wa-hingtou Pom i
his very heart loathed the ege w gaw titles and n u ;
sensical distinctions of European r* galisinandvn b- j
ecracy,and every true scion of Am r.can freedom •
should detest them just w cordially.”
An Important Movement in Chin a. —According
to a London correspondent of the Pay l , Ltt *► h
have been received from China, dated January 14th,
containing circumstantial details relative to lie pro
tects of the allied division which has left Canton for
the neighborhood of the Yellow 8* a. Ii U proposed ;
to send despatches to the Emperor of China* and if ;
within a reasonable time a satisfactory answer shall
not be received, the town of Tien Sing, ou the i t |
bank of the Pey-Ho, or White River, will'bc 7 ir ot
ly blockaded. By this operation i is calculated that j
Pekin must assuredly be reduced to a state of fam- ,
iue within a very short space of time, the Chines ?
Government never having a reserve of more than j
three months’provision in the capital of thec.-b B
tial empire, and Tien Sing being the p incipal umr- 1
ket for supplying the metropolis wish food.
The Norfolk Fund.—The Mayor <>f Norfolk
has written a letter to the Pitbiburg board of j
suggesting that the funds collected in Pittsburg in j
18t>5 for the relief of the Norfolk sufferer*, amount
ing to about SI,OOO, which has not been used for the
purposes intended, and i. j . still in the hands o r Wo .
H. Brune, E*q., treasurer of the N >rfo k fund in
Baltimore, be donated to the support of the fifty
eight orphan children now in charge of the Howard
Association of Norfolk. The board, in oompli.
ance wittrtfhe request, resolved that it should b D
donated.
Completion of the Rip-Raps. —David Bissett,
of and*Col. Hawkins, of Nrrth Carolina,
have obtained the contract to furnish all the granite
required-to complete the Rip Raps. The granite
will be taken fom quarries on the Danvil o Rail
road. About five hundred thousand cubic feet wiii
be required- The present portion of the castle i
only the foundation. When completed, it will ive !
four tiers of guns, and on the whole will, it is su'd,
form the most stupendous work of the kind in the
United Statep.
He “Writ.”—The Ch&eta (Cal.) Courier has re

inquiring for Thomas Wines, her dear husband.—
She says he has been away from her three

care of their children, the youngest of which h only
ten months old ! Thomas, we presume, had “writ”
to her.

The McDonough Estate.— The Ax hundred
thousand dollars, received by the city of Baltimore,
from the McDonough estate will, probably, ao< Hal
ing to the recommendation of Mayor Swann, be ap
plied to the establishment of an institution for the
maintenance and educaiion of the poor children in
that city.
Green Peas, says the Savanna 1 ’ Repnblirai, made

It is stated that Mr. Dallas, our Minister to Lon
don, in his despatches to our Government, expresses
the opinion that the new Ministry of England will
be more favorable and conciliatory to the United j
States than the oldone. Their hold on power he ;
regards as very weak.
Douglas and Seward —A Washington north J
era letter writersays that Mr. Douglm “thinks that |
the first duty of all parties is to break down the prt- ‘
sent corrupt and treacherous Administration,” aid
that “it is the impression among Mr. Douglas’ ;
friends that he expects the election of Mr. Sewn.d
to the Presidency in 1860.
Wreck or the British Ship Waverly.— Capt.
Gardner, of the ship Intrepid, arrived at New York
from China, reports that on November 2, in Farmo
sa Channel, he fell in with the wreck of the Bri i.h
ship Waverly, Rose, from Shanghai for Amoy, (if.
masted and abandoned by officers and crew. He
took from her 97 Chinese, and then set her on fire.
He put into Hong Kong aud landed the Chinamen. ,
Two hundred had left the ship previously with the
