coming to ascertain the truth of the report, iu order
-that lie might bo removed to Calcutta if tlie magis
(ratetj thought it well founded. The gaol consists
of several brick buildings of only one story in
height and surrounded by a high wall; the doors
are strong anti clamped with iron, tho gaolers arm
ed with cutiasses. On entering the prisou we saw
a number of men with leg irons engaged in various
ways in the open yard, making coarse paper, grind
itig grain, pounding bricks—an evil-faced race.—
We passed into one of the rooms, aiuHft once found
ourselves among a number of brass pots, earthen
pots, uatginle. bawls, aud silver-vessels, which lay
on the floor ; inside, a young man, about thirty years
of age, with coarse features, seated on the ground,

The old Southern States show a very small portion

About one-fifth of tbadree colored iu New York

A comparison with Louisiana aud Connecticut
shows that in the fprmer I in l'J of the blacks w ere

There are about twice as many tr-e blacks as Irev

hi Connecticut the negro population in sixty
years has not more than doubled, notwithstanding
ihe increase from immigrants. Yet in Virginia, in
the same time, which received few from oihti
sources, and sent 30 many thousand away, it has
nearly doubled.
The arafetLres are twice as numerous -among the
slaves as among the free blacks, and axe little more
than ope-tenth of the whole colored. Half of tbe
negroes at the North are mulatto, aud only’ about
onu-ninth at the South.

The Overflow of the .lli*iip|>i— Break Above
Memphis.
The. Memphis Bulletin of Tuoeday morning says :
The Mbsig-ippi river rose at tb point two iaches
from Saturday evening at da?k to Sunday morn
ing eight o’e ojk. Duriog the day on Sunday the
L J e was scarcely perceptible, the rivers coming up
only half an inch in twelve hours. About daikon
Sunday evening the water came do & dead stand,
a: and soon after commenced receding slowly The
en’tre sass up to iast night, 9 o clofdr, is variously
estimated at from one to two fnches.
yesterday from a source eutiroly Te
kable wM! a h r eak bad occurred in the levee just
above Barton’s Lauding on the Arkansas side,
about foarrnites above this ci‘y. bfeak oc
curred on Sunday night, anti it is asserted as a fact
that admits of very little doubt that the crevasse
‘v - occasioned by some fiend i* dranran shape It.
tUs be so. we sincerely trust that theyascal may be
caught, and meet with that cofidign punishment
‘iu ‘! a crllßt* so rjclTiy merits. At la’t accounts the
water w'as pouring thri ugh that break at a tremen
dous rate, flooding the whole country west of the
river, from that pfllnt down into the swamps oppo
bits this city. The course of this flood is directly
T wards the track of tbe Memphis and Little Rock
Railroad, and serion-* fears are entertained for the
*tall ity of that structure. The strength of the em
bankmente on this road were pretty well teßted du
ring tbeiate ireshet, and as jth© iniury then done
exceedingly slight, we hope that the roadway
will resist this last attack of water.
We may remark that many persons believe tfiat
•be fall here, yesterday, is to be ascribed in no
email d-gree to the effect of tbecrevasse at or near
Barton’s Landing, uot ced above. They say that
tbe volume of water running out at that places
immense, and argue that the real fall from sbove
lias not qui.e reached us yet, and the slight reces
sion experienced is from the above cause. No
doubt this crevasse has and will affect the river be
low’ ir, in some slight degree, but Httle doubt can
now be entertained by any one that the real fall has
commenced.
The Memphis Eagle V Enquirer, of the same
date, says;
The Mississippi, though falling herds has been as
high as any flood in the recollection of our oldest
inhabitants. The destruction of property is im
mense, nearly every trHuuiatiou below this point is
submerged and slot Land property of various kinds
have been Swept awa/. A gentleman direct iroui
Little Rock, informs u* that both banks of the Ar
kansas, from Pine Bluff to Napoleon, are under wa
;,er. We he&id that there was brake in the levee,
come twenty milc-e above here, on the Arkansas
side. If this pYovej true, a largo volume of water
will be poured acrosiTCrittendeti oonnty to Black
ti*h and 6* Francis rivers. Such an extended over
ii w must seri iusly affect the Cotton crop. We are
j not advised of the quantity grown on the bottom
j •: 1 >f* Mississippi and Arkansas rivers, but
I *’ai ot -jinffs find employment eight
j months ot the year in freighting it to market.
A ueppuoch dated {St. Louis, Tuesday, May JUi,
says: “The river has risen twenty inches since
iiaiurday, and still rising The upper Mississippi is
rising in the same ratio. The Missouri and Illinois
.are falling.”
A correspondent of the /ifepeal, writing from
Council Bend, Ark., May Ist, says:
Messrs Editors —ln fulfillment of my promise to
you, I proceed to give you an account of the fresh
et in this region, the river is very high aud still
rising, at tbe rate of two inches every twenty-four
hours, which, at this stage of water, we consider a
great accretion, iu mv immediate vicinity the wa
fer has not attained tLe flood marks of *49 or T*4,
owing to ihe immense rush across the neck of
Council Bend, on the Mississippi side, caused by
the caving at. the approximating points, theredy
acting as a vast flood-gate to the Arkansas side of
the bend, and partially’ protecting us from the di
rect pressute of the torrent. 1 think we can bear
twelve or fifteen inches more on the present tide of
waters Without much detriment, provided it does
n>t remain witk Us teo long. Although the flood.-*
i. 49 ana ‘b4 were six or eight i chea higher than
the present, yet as they came on early in April and
subsided rapidly, they Igft no disastrous consequen
ce: , bill this fre-lict, coming on just after the river
crops had been planted, and the greater part of the
seed in process of germinating ami illy suited to
bear the influence of seepage water, must exercise
a baneful influence on ail the river cotton region.
Some of my neighbors have, for the present,
abandoned'their planting operations, and gone, to
clearing on the cane ridges in the bottom. On some
o 1 the plantations, the water, having percolated
through the.earth, either collects in the lowest places
<s saturates the soil in which ihe sprouting crops
begin to root, proves fatal alike to corn ami cotton,
by rotting the tender stalks below the surface—less
detrimental, to cotton than corn For
two mile* back we have but little water in the
bottom, and stock of all kinds are not incommoded
a* all.
On this part of the river the water has uot reach
ed the leveft, except on undulating fronts, made so
by the original sluice or sluices which formerly con
veyed the water, w'ben high, from the river to the
low back lauds before the period of leveeing. A1
though we are not now BuHerring from the water,
yet taking into consideration the inchoate condition
of the” forthcoming crops now struggling to main
tain it* vitality against the biflueuee ot seepage,
and the fact that an immense volume of water is
yc t behind to be disgorged,.and tho length of time
required to r the subsidence ot the floods under the
influence of an unprecedented wet Bpring, JUay with
all these circumstances in view wo cannot doubt
that the river crops iu the Mississippi bottom will
be greatly abridged
The country from Memphis to Napoleon will pro
bably suffer least of any of the river country, as
no groat rivev intervenes betw*eeu tlia Ohio and Ar
kansas, to precipitate its water* on the swollen tide,
and to contribute to the general devastation of au
overflow, whereby time and space afford the mail
ing waves an opportunity to exhaust a part of their
might and energy by diffusion.
After all cot jeclures on tbe subject —for there is
nothing but conjecture about the river of this great
extent of valley—if we should have a rapid decline
of water by the middle of May, ftiTd a propitious
fall season, this hydra oi terrors may vanish into
“thin aii,*’ and au abundant yield may establish
the fact that Mississippi inundations are the veriest
of humbugs. Respectfully,
Geo. B. Peters.
Disastrous State of in the Missis
sippi Valley.—The Memphis Appeal of Friday,
says :
The river tails veiy slowly—during the twenty
four hours ending last evening it had not gone down
quite two inches. Th 4 ejevasee at Bartor.’s land
ing, four miles-up Hie river on the other side, was
pour in out a heavy volume of Water yesterday,
and will do mufih injury. Tbe position ot affairs
down the river is melan lialy in the extreme, and
we may expect to hear of cases of severe distress
Mr. Thomasson, the clerk of the Evan villa in yester
day from White r:ver, has given us several particu
lar* of the state of thiugs as they existed ou the trip
of the bout to this city. From Helena to White
river the traveler on the river couldjdietinguigh only
one sheet of water, ou both, sideeof the river, as far
as could be seen. Up the shore of White river tor
sixty miles, n similar stretch of water met the eye.
The honees are all surrounded by water which flows
benearth them. Where the watof rut)*in a cur
rent, the supports of the houses aro hourly under
mined ; some of the houses were seen leaning over,
ready to fall. The condition of the inmates in many
instances, especially when far from neighbors, must
hc most deplorable.
The loss ol stock will be great. The cattle have
down, and must suffer from
deprivation ot slet-p, us well as from scarcity of
food. Men were s*en in dag outs, iu some places
followed by the wading cattle. The men were en
taged in cutting down the young cottonwood trees
:• the cattle to browse itpou. In one place a
J . ho-i swam for some distance after the
•n.; e viuenUy &nx:ous to get ou the dry deck. A
man wad seen at Helena endeavoring to purchase a
flat boat, upon which to place a portion of his stock,
to save them from perishing. He lived back from
Napoleon, hut not a boat was to bo got in that city.
The fences, oi oouree, are. carried off for naiies,
eor4wood ia also carried away in such abundance
that the boats already find it scarce, and have to pay
an advanced price.
The Avalanche says: The favorite White river
packet Evansville, C&pt. Beard, arrived at an early
hour yesterday morning. Capt Thomasson informs
us that from White river to within thirteen miles of
Helena there is no land visible. Tbe cattle were
up to their middles in water, arid the hogs were
perched on raft* and occupying the dwellings, while
the inhabitants were paddling about in canoes, en
gaged in feeding the sto£k with cotton wood limb*.
Capt,Thomasson represents the suffering in that
region of country to be beyond description.
Scene in the Cite Court of Savannah.—Quite
a scene occurred in this court yesterday. It appears
that Justice Seedy has been the cause of much
trouble to Solicitor fl-ueral Hartridge, from Ids
negligence in discharging his official duties. The
last case was for taking straw bail from a prosecu
torwho liad arrested and imprironed a man for as
sault and battery Yesterday, when the cause was
to go before the Grand Jury, tbe prosecutor was m>t
forthcoming and the bail proved to be worthless
Immediately upon learning the eircumstancee
Judge Mi lien ordered the Sheriff to brmg Justice
lieedv before him, which was done Keedy ap
prehending some trouble, employed Geo. A. Gor
don, Esq., to defend him. Ordering Keedy to
stead up, the Judge addressed him him in a very
severe tone, censuring him for his continued negii
gence and manifest indifference to official duty or
he result of a case so that the costs were saved, and
ended by ordering Keedy to pay the costs of suit
aud jail fees, both together amounting to |JT, or in
default to be committed to jail.
Mr. Gordon told the Court that it was proceeding
without any authority and directly in the fade of au
law—that every man was entitled to be heard, no
matter how great his offence, and that be woald take
exceptions to the proceeding an* prosecute all Con
cerned for false imprisonment.
The court replied that it would take the responsi
bility and desired to hear no argument on the {sub
ject—its mandates should be obeyed.
After a tew moments consideration, however, tbe
Judge seemed to thmk that the responsibility wan
tco great, and, accordingly, entered another order,
at the suggestion of tbe Solicitor, directing the last
named officer to prosecute Keedy for mal practice
iu e ffiee if he did not pay the J 37. Keedy was then
restored to liberty.
For a time the scene was highly interesting, and
there was some merriment among the Bar and by
standers at seeing his Honor, after belaboring the
delinquent Justice and passing summary judgment
ppon him, make sograceful a retreat from his posi
tion. However, it is better to be right than con
sistent. Keedy, from the facts elicited, is no doubt,
a faithless and incompetent functionary and de
served all that wa> skid and done to him, though we
except to the last order of the Court, for, if guilty,
malpractice, he should be prosecuted, whether
hi-pays the thirty-seven dollars or not —.Sark. Re

The Canadian Steamship Company V screw*ste&met
Anglo-Sixon, from Liverpool at about 2 P. M., on
rhe —lst olt. passed this point at 2 o’clock this aifteii

The principal point of her news is the presenta

Great Britain —Onthe 19ih, in the House of
Lords. L jrd Ma meabury said tie opinion of the
law officers of the Crown had just been received in
regard to the seizure of the steamer CagUari by Na
pe*. Two of them pronounced it legal aud the
bird declared it entirely ihegal. Under these cir
cumstance* tbe government did not think it desira
ole to take any strong measures in the premise* at
present.
In the House of Couiraou* Mr/Digreali made his
financial atatemeul. lie estimated the ordinary ex
neuditures of the year at £ ti 3,600,000; but as £2,
000,000 of Exchequer bill* falling due, and
£1,500,000 had to be paid as sinking found towards
the war debt, the total expenditure would amount
to £07,100,000, being about £4,000,000 in excess
of the estimated revenue. Takiu ‘ into account the
reduction in the income tax, which the government
had no intention to interfere with, and the fact that
three and n half millions were extraordinary ex
lenditures, Mr. Disraeli showed that there was
diminution in the resource* of theoountry, and that
but for the above reasons there would have been
an actual surplus. H# recommended a postpone
ineut iu the payment of the sinking fund and Ex
chequer bills, and the imposition of a tax on Irish
whiskey and a penny stamp on bankers’ checks, to
meet the deficiency. After some slight opposition
resolutions on which to found bills for carrying into
effect these propositions were agreed to.
Mr. Roebuck said he intended to ask the govern
uient if they meant to proceed with the conspiracy
indictment against Dr. Bernard.
A moment for leave to bring in a bill limiting
Parliament to three years was defeated by 197
majority. *
The jury in tLecase of Dr. Bernard, charged as an
accessory to the murders committed by Orsiui and
others, retained a verdict of “Not Guilty.” The
result was received with great cheering in Court
•md out,’ and greeted with geueral satisfaction
throughout toe country Bernard was discharged
on bail.
Au application for anew trial of the directors of ,
the British Bank was pending in the law courts.
Tne London money market was unchanged. The

From Texas—Ravages of Grasshoppers, Sue.
Tbe papers published in Western Texas are filled
with notices of the grasshoppers. The San Antonio
Herald, of the 30th ult., says i
These pests are doing much damage to the grow
ing crops on tbe Salado and Cibolo, having eaten
many fine fields of oom entirely, and leaving few
untouched.
In conversation with some gentlemen living on
the Medina, we learn that the prospect of a good
corn crop was never better. The graeshoppera had
not attacked the growing oom. The pests, howev
er, have damaged some crops in that region.
The Goliad Express, oi tbe 34th ult., says ;
The most of ths grasshoppers have taken wings
and tied. There are but few to be seen in compari
son to the scores of them a few days past, and we
learn that their numbers have greatly diminished in
the country. It appears that they leave as soon as
they get able to fly. They are’seen dally rising
from the ground, going to immense heightens if to
take a long trip.
The San Antonio Ledger, of the 34th, says <
Mr. Atwood, a farmer from tbe Hondo, informs
us that neither he nor the farmers in bis vicinity
have suffered from the depredations of the grass
hopper. The orops are doing remarkably well.
Mr. Pearce, a farmer on the Luoas, Ataseoso
county, states that he, his bous and servants had
literally to fight the grasshoppers off, and, by dint
of great exertions, his orops are comparatively un
harmed. On tbe Ataseoso, generally, these pests
have not oaused much damage.
Mr. B. Edwards, residing on the Culebra, about
nine miles northwest of flan Antonio, adopted a
plan similar to that of Mr. Pearce, immediately
upon observing the approaoh of tbe graeehoppers,
he armed all his people with pieoes of brush, and,
with a hard fight, made the enemy evacuate his
premises.
The accounts from the ranohos on the San Anto
nio river are uot by any means so favorable. Mr.
J . W. Cook, who lives twenty-one mileß southeast
of flair Antonio, states that his orops have been
entirely demolished, and those on the ranobos above
anti below him, except iu one or two oases, have
been literally eaten up.
The Belton Independent learns that tbe grasshop
pers have made their appearance in Williamson
oonnty.
The Gonzales Inquirer, of the 34th ult, says:
At last we have the satisfaction of announcing that
the grasshoppers are taking their departure, tor
tne past three or four days the element* Lave been
filled with them, and all seem to be pursuing a
northeast course. It iB quite probable, however,
that one or two weeks must elapse before we are
entirely rid of them, as a very large number have
not yet attained their full growth. Wenotioe that
they are undergoing the second operation of shed
ding, whioh brings forth the fullwinged grasshopper.
They are also dying in great numbers all over the
country. They are still engaged in their work of
destruction in different portions of the county.
Several large fields of corn, cotton and wheat, which
a week or two ago they passed through without
doing any damage, have since been entirely de
stroyed Indeed, so complete and bo general has
been the destruction that we apprehend all our
farmers will find themselves compelled to replant.
The counties which have suffered most by the ra
vages of the grosshoppers are Bexar, Guadalupe,
Caldwell, Hays, Comat, Karnes, Goliad, Nueoes,
DeWitt, Lavaca and Gonzales, besides portions of
Basti op, Fayatte and Victoria. In all these the
farmers will have to re plant. In two or three of
the above nam and counties the wheat crop has been
totally destroyed.
We are told that while the grasshoppers have
nearly destroyed all other vegetation in the ooun
ty, they have not touched tbe Sorgho or Chinese
sugar cane.
The Columbia (Brazoria county) Democrat, of the
27th ult., says i
The weather was quite cool a portion of last week,
the nights being quite chilly. With good seasons
from this time there will probably be the beat crop
gathered next fall that has been made in Texas for
many years.
The Columbus (Colorado county) Citizens, of the
24th ult., says:
The weather for the past week has been some
what cool mornings and evenigs. We believe,
however that there has been no frost, and cotton
and corn in this county are looking tolerably well.
Every one is sanguine in the hope that the present
will be a good crop year.
The business of San Antonia (the Texan says) is
gradually increasing, the authorities are making
improvements in the streets, and the erection ot
buildings is fast going on.
The small pox is prevalent in San Aptonie, most
ly among the Mexican population. A small pox
hospital has been established outside the city, but
(the Ledger says) the city physicians have great
difficulty in getting the relatives of sufferers to con
sent to their removal 1 1 it.
The Waco Southerner learns from Mr. Barnard,
who is recently from the Braxos Indian Agency and
Fort Belknap, that the wild Camanches are be
coming more daring in their outrages on the se mo
ments.
To Cotton Planters.
The attention of the planting community is invi
ted to the following call for a Convention to be held
in Macon on the second Monday of next month. It

ties as possible will be represented in the Conven
tion : •
Cotton Planters Association or Houston
County —A meeting ot this body was held in the

purpose of appointing Delegates to the Cotton
Planter's Convention, to be held in the city of Ma
con, on the second Tuesday m June next. Addresses
on the subject of Cotton and the Cotton trade, were
delivered before the Association, after which the
following gentlemen were appointed Delegates i

As the contemplated meeting of the Convention
wilt be one of much interest, the Convention fully
organized, permanent officers elected, fine., it is de
sirable that all the Cotton growing counties of the
State should be fully represented. Each county is
entitled to three votes, but may be represented by
as many Delegates as tbs county may think proper
All newspaper* friendly to the objects of the Con
vention are reepeotfoii y requested to give this com

quested, that those papers that have through Inad

its session on the second Monday in June, would
correct the mistake by publishing this cemmunloa

call public attention to this communication

Mr. Everett and the “ Sumner Tkstimo
maL-’'—The editor of the Charleston Courier gives
the following explanation of Mr. Everett’s partici
pation in the address to Senator Sumner, whioh has
elicited much severity of comment from a portion
of the Southern press :
‘'Shortly after the chastisement of the dastardly.
Sumner, in the Senate Chamber, by the impetuous
Brooks, sundry citizens of Boston determined to
get up a subscription for a testimonial to the caned
calumniator, by way of oonsoliug him, we suppose,
in his crest fallen condition and most pitiable plight,
aud a prefatory address was attaobed to it. With
numerous, or at least several signatures, already ap
pended, it was brought by one of thesigners, to Mr.
Everett, at a time when he was aiok in bed, and
under the confusing influence of an anodyne, and
he was asked to subscribe to tbe testimonial.
Seeing the signature of the Mayor of Boston and
others to the paper, and not supposing that it con
ought of a violence or offensive oharaoter,
Mr. Everett signed, without reading it, and in en
tire ignorance of, if not actually misled, as to its
contents. On seeing the paper in print, be was
greatly pained, mortified, and chagrined at per
ceiviug the intemperate and vulgar slang to which
his name had been unoonsoiously attached, and he
soon after addressed a letter to a friend in Charles
ton, explaining and regretting the untoward ooour
rence, and disavowing the sentiments contained in
the paper. Here the matter rested, without far
ther explanation, until our visit to Boston last au
tumn, to restore the remains of the gifted Legare to
his mother soil, when we called at Mr. Everett's
residence as with a view te the delivery of his ora
tion on Washington, in this oity, as to the object
of our mission, but we failed to see him, as he was
then absent from Boston.
We subsequently called ou, and had a deeply in
teresting interview, however, with a distinguished
and bosom friend of Mr. E., in whose house and iu
whose arms the lamented Legare breathed his last,
and in the oouree of conversation, we ohanoed to
mention our disappointment at Mr E.'s absence,
especially in reference to a renewed invitation to
him to visit Charleeton, and also allnded to the ex
planation, given above, Mr. E.’s signature of a paper
so offensive to South Carolina, whioh our distin
guished host fully confirmed, adding, substantially,
‘Sir, I oan tell you what is much more to the purpose;
not only did my friend, Mr. E-, sign the paper, un
der tbe oiroumstanoes stated by you, but he went
much further. He made it a point to express his
discontent to the gentlemen who had preeured his
signature to the document, aud addressed a letter
to Mr. Sumner himself, disavowing the sentiments
contained iu the exceptionable document, to whiob-
Mr. E. s seeming enaction bad heen unconsciously
given. ‘ We add further, that the proposed testimo
nial proved a failure, and the same has never been
presented or purchased.
A Great Gun—Killing made Easy.—Theßuf
falo Express tells of a warlike invention just
brought out in that oity, which is of an extraordinary
character, provided it possesses all the qualities
represented:
It was tested yesterday afternoon in a vaoant
building on Washington street, between Seneca
and Exobauge streets. The pieoe is a beautiful
little brass gun of the usual shape, mounted ou
wheels, ana so constructed that a rotary oylinder
constitutes the breech whioh contains four charges
replenished by means of a hopper, and fired as
rapidly as a man can work an ordinary lever back
ward and forward. The pieoe in discharged by
eleotrioity, and from this results an important and
valuable discovery, whioh was developed after the
completion of the pieoe. By means of the battery
and wires connecting with the oylinder by which
ignition is caused, the cylinder becomes perfectly
electrioal which, keeps it us cool as if continually
bathed with. ice. Some two hundred rounds were
fired yesterday in rapid succession at the rate of
about 30 rounds per minute, at tbe end of whioh
time without using the swab once, tbe breech was
much colder than when the firing contmenoed. The
rapidity of the firing was much retarded by the bad
quality of the cartridge in use, but euoli as it was it
was sufficient to demonstrate tbe complete success
.of the invention Even 30 rounds per minute
would seem to be sufficient for all reasonable, or
unreasonable purposes for that matter; but we
entertain no doubt that with cartridges properly pre
pared the inventor s expectation of GO rounds per
minute will be fully realized. We understand that
as scon as all arrangements are completed, the in
ventors will proceed to Washington and lay their
Elans before the government. The neoessary steps
ave been taken to secure European patents, and
when all is complete, and the machine in operation,
we do not believe that nations oan hereafter afford
to go to war.
A Melancholy Romance ok High Life.—Dr
Conolly, describing a portrait published in the last
number of tbe Medical Times, says :
‘ The history of this patient was, in truth, one long
and melancholy grief—a real romance in a woman
of high rank.. She was a princess of one of the
noblest of the French families, and brought up in
splendor, and all childish happiness. She grew
tall and strong, and in all the illusions of youth and
beauty and high station were gathered round her.—
Tbe time had scarcely gone by when, in the careless
days of ohildhood, the young Duke d’Enghein was
often her playmate in the splendid gardens of the
Chateau of Chantilly. Soon afterward the great
Frenoh revolution shook at once from rank and
Kower and all the prinoes and nobles of the
md. The young princeßS was transferred to the
obscure oare of a private governess. She became
acquainted with poverty, and disappointment and
fear agitated her daily existence. Her education
was neglected. The Duke d'Enghein unhappily
re entered France, and bis life was tbe immediate
forfeit. His murder filled Europe with grief and
horror. To the priuoess, then 10 or 18 years old, it
brought despair.
“She fell by degrees into profound melanohoiy, and
young as she was, the springs of her file a became
poisoned, her hair became almost suddenly gray.—
She wastaken to the Saltpetriero, of which aeylum
she remained an inmate until, after many years,
death came to her relief. Lo- g before that release,
her lower limbs partly from habitual position, had
become contracted so that when she moved about
it was on the hands and oaaaisohia, like a cripple.
In all these years she seldom spoke, and th'en only
in murmurs. She sat on her bed, her head leaning
on her hand and her large eyes fixed all the day
long, and every day, on a window opposite to her,
as if looking for someone on whom those eyes were
never more to gaze or listening for • some loved
voioe, ever more to be heard by mortal ears.”
A Burning Mountain.— There is a vein of coal
located above water level in the Broad Mountain,
near Pottsvilie, Pa., whioh has been burning for
twenty-one years. The vein, which contains ex
cellent white ash coal, is some forty feet in thick
nese. The Pottsvilie Journal says :
The origin of the fire is attributed to a couple of
miners, who, having some work to perform m the
drift in the depth of winter, built a fire—they being
cold—in the gang-way. Tne dames destroying the
prop timbers, were carried by a strong current
rapidl y along the passage, and the fire communi
cating to the ooal, all subsequent efforts to extin
guish it were ineffectual. The men were out off
from eaoape, and were undoubtedly suffocated to
death. Their remains were never found. A few
days sinoe we asoended the mountain at the spot of
the fire, and were much interested in examining
the effect of the fire upon the surface. Tbe course
of it from west to east, and where the vein is near
est the surfaoe, the ground is for tbe space of sever
al hundred feet, sunken into deep pits, and while
the stones exhibit evidences of having been ex
posed to the action of Intense heat, every vestige
of vegetation had been blssted. It is a desert track
in the midst of smiling fertility. The ground in
some places was almost too warm for the hand to
rest upon it, while steam from water heated by the
internal fire, rose from every pore. The fire had
evidently extended for several hundred yards from
the plaoe it originated, and finds vent and air to
oontinue its progress, at the pits to which we have
alluded. A score of years has passed, still it burns,
and will burn until further fuel is denied the burn

House in New York, during the week has been only
f198,550, against $1,665,650 the corresponding week

Extraordinary Sagacity !—Four months ago,
the President in his annual message urged upon
Congress the duty of admitting Kansas at once into
the Union under the Lecompton Constitution,
without qualification or reservation. To affect this,
the power and patronage of the Government., party
caucuses and party drills, promisee and threats were
brought into requisition. After months of heated
discussion, and cart loads of speeches and several
fist-fights to this eDd, it is now left to Messrs. Eng
lish and Stephens to evolve the wonderful discovery
that the. whale question roust be hung up until
Kansas amends her ordinance. Sagacious English!
Profonnd Stephens! Well, it is consoling that this
whangdoodle has concluded, for a brief space, to
change the scene of its minstrelsy, and has Bed into
tbe mountains of Kansas, where the abolition lion
is likely to roar indefinitely and triumphantly, and
voice to echo voice. Thus endeth another chapter
of the sublime history of -‘popular sovereignty.

Latest Indian’lntelligence from Fort Myers,
April 36(4,1858 —On the arrival of the U. States
steamer Gray Cloud, from Fort Myers, we have,
through the kindness of Major McKinstrv, been
furnished with the follow ng gratifying ihtelligence:
Gen. Billy Bowlegs and staff, consisting of his
principal war chiefs, viz Assinwar, Assinwar,
son of the above, Ole wah-tee tuste-uugee, Foos
had))), Billy a father-in law, Nokushadjo, Inspector
and Generalissimo of the Indian arinv, with 33 war
riors and 80 women aud children, are now in at Ft.
Myers, and willing to emigrate.
A party consisting of a portion of the Indian dele
gation, with a few of Billy's warriors, left ou the
34th in steamer Hangar, down the southern coast
in pursuit of Billy’s boat party. It is presumed
that they are ere this at Fort Myers.
On the same day a party ofl6 under Halleck
kenuggee left for the Cypress, accompanied by Col.
Rutherford, for a final interview with Old Sam
Jones. On the return of these two parties to Fort
Myers, about the sth May next, Col. Rector will de
part for the West,
This party of Indians, including 46 women and
children at Egmont Key, without enumerating any
that may arrive with the delegations now out, will
number 157 ; including Major Rectors’ will count
306—a very good cargo of Redskins for ths Grey

Found Dead.—Ou the morning of the 38th inst., -
the body of a man named -Haywood, was found
hanging to a tree in the suburbs of our city. Va
rious rumors and conjectures are afloat in relation
to the matter ; some assert that he was hung de
signedly—others are of the opinion that he may
have oommitted suicide, profeseionally, us it was
near the race track ; the Jury of Inquest, however,
declarea that he was hung by some person or per
sons unknown.
Losing All—A Family Scene—There is some
thing exceedingly tender, as well as nstrnctive, in
the toUowiug, which we take from The Child's Pa
per:
A few years ago a merchant failed in busiuees.
He went home io great agitation.
“Wbat ie the matter 7” asked his wife. “I am
ruined ; lam beggared. I have lost my all I’’ he
exclaimed, pressing his hand npou his forehead as if
his brains were iu a whirl.
“All!” said hia wife ;“I am left.” ‘All, papa I”
said his eldeaS boy -, “here ami.” “And 1 too,
K” said his little girl, running up aud putting
ms around his neck. -‘I s not lost, papa,” re
peated Eddie. “And you have your health ieft,”
said his wife. “Aud your two hands to work with,
papa,” said his eldest i “and I can help you.” “Aud
your two teet, papa, to carry you about.” “Aud
your two eyes to see with, papa,” said little Eddie.
“Aud you have God s promises ” said grand-
mother. “And a good God,” said his wife. “And a
Heaven to go to,” said his little girl. “And Jesus
to come aud fetch us tiieie,” said his eldest.
“God forgive me,” said the poor merchant, burst
ing into tears “I have uot lost my all. What are
the few thousand which I oall my all to these more
preoious things whioh God has left met” aud he
clasped his family to his bosom, aud kissed bis wife
and children with a thankful heart.
Ah, no, there are tnanj tilings more precious than
gold aud bauk stocks, valuable as these may be io
tbeir place. Wlieu tbe Central Amerioa was foun
dered at sea, bags and purses of gold were strown
about tbe deck, as worthless as the merest rubbish.
“Life, life! was the prayer. To some of the wretch
ed survivors, “water, water!” was the prayer.—
“Bread, bread!” it was worth its weight iu gold, if
gold could have bought it.
The loss of property must not cloud the mind with
a wicked forgetfulness of the great blessings w.iich
are left behind. No wan should despair, for uo
man has lost his all until be has lost his integrity,
lost, the meroy of God, and lost his hope of heaven
at last. *
Washington Items.—A Demooratio caucus of
the House members was held on Friday night to
consider Mr. (juitman’s proposition, that it is un
wise, impolitic and unjust to existing States to pre
maturely or hastily admit new States, thereby un
duly stimulating tbe occupation of distant vacant
Territories by forced ana unnatural migration, lor
political, partisan and sectional purposes, producing
strife and discord between different portions of tile
Union, and leading to corrupt political combinations
in Congress, and providing that, no new States shall
be admitted into tbe Union until it is ascertained,
by a census taken by the authority of Congress,
that the Territory asking admission contains a pop
ulation sufficient for a representative to Congress,
nor until the people have been authorised by Con
gress to hold a convention to frame a constitution
and present the same to. Congress. Owing to the
thinness of the meeting, a committee was appoint
ed to report on the proposition next Tuesday, when
it was supposed action will be taken on it. Tbe
feeling toward it was generally favorable.
The Navy Department has despatches from Com.
Tatnall, on board the Hag ship San Jacinto, at Ma

last of that month. He left tbe Mississippi at
Hong Kong, about to take her departure with a
communication from Ike American Minister. In
conformity with instructions from Mr. Reed, Com.
Tatnall had chartered the screw steamer Antelope,
and she was to be devoted solely to the useß of Mr.
Reed’s mission.
Mr. Reed wishes to touch at Manilla on bis way
to Shanghae, and of this arrangement Commodore
Tatnall approves, as it will give him an opportuni
ty to display a larger force off that city than he will
be able to do again for some time, for he supposes
the squadron will necessarily be in tbe vicinity of
the operations of the allies at the north after March.

he proposes himsalf to canvass the Territory against

one quarter and half a mile, about the size of a bait
