COLXJMBXJS: Thursday Morning, Sept* IS, 1856. I. ROK.vr CITY CIRCULATION. The examination of the parties connected with the stolen jewelry was concluded yester day. Mr. James Pilkington was held to bail in the case of the Vandenberg robbery, in the sum of SI,OOO, and in the llalle case, in the sum of SBOO, in default of which he was com mitted for further examination at the next term of the Superior Court. Mrs. Pilkingtou and Miss Brigman, were discharged. We learn from the Greenville Alabamian, that Mr. Joseph Yeldell was murdered at Mon terey, Butler county, Ala., on the 10th inst., by Dr. Longinire, who shot and stabbed him under circumstances of the blackest atrocity, and was allowed to escape. Stamped postage envelops have been in use in the United States about three years. The demand by tl.u government now reaches 32,- 000,000 or 88,000,000 per annum. In Kng land, according to a return recently presented to Parliament., there were issued, during the ten years ending April, 1850, the large num ber of 180,124,000 stamped postage envel opes. Intelligence has been received of the safe arrival at Queenstown, county of Cork, Ire land, of the United States steamer Arctic, Lieutenant Berryman, which sailed from New Fork on the 17th July, for the purpose of making soundings preliminary to laying the submarine telegraph cable from Newfoundland to the Southwestern coast of Ireland. It i., reported that “she found all right,” from which we suppose we may infer that Lieut. Berryman’s observations are in favor of the feasibility of the great, enterprise to test which his voyage was undertaken. Coronation of the Russian Emperor. The preparations for the Emperor of Rus sia’s Coronation are on a grand scale. There is to he a review of 800,000 men on the Plains where Napoleon mustered his army ere he en tered Moscow in 1812. A great dinner is to be given tlie poor, which will be attended by the Czar and his wife, and the Kremlin will be illuminated. . Excitement at Buckingham C. H„ Va. On Monday the Bth inst., after the trial of a slave at Buckingham ('. 11., for committing :. rape upon a young girl thirteen years of age, the crowd having understood that there was some difference about, his punishment between the Judges, made a rush for him. and wrested him from the hands of an officer who was tak ing him lo prison. Fearing that he would miss the punishment lu deserved, they fas tened a rope around his neck, and would have hung him had not Judge Leigh interposed, by addressing the crowd. The e-citement was truly alarming. The negro received sundry hard kicks from the mob. On Tuesday, . he sentence of death was pass ed upon him, Interesting to Medical Men. A case of malpractice has just been dispos ed of in New York, which is of some interest to medical practitioners. The plaintiff, Mr. Courtner, sued Dr. Henderson for damages done to his eyes. The defendant’s counsel raised several points, but it. is sufficient, to state the second one—“ That an error in judg ment is not malpractice.” The court, held that to he good law, when applied to a man skilled in anatomy, surgery or physics, but that it had no application in this case ; that the defendant., knowing noth ing of anatomy, surgery or physics, con'd have no judgment in the matter. The lew contemplated a judgment founded upon t lie skill and knowledge in these sciences. The man who would hold out a diploma, without auy knowledge of those sciences, and under such false pretences obtnin a patient, ami commence tinkering with the most deli cate of r.Il the organs, the eye, must he reck less indeed. An error in judgment., of a man skilled in a particular calling, is not malprac tice, unless it is a gross error. But error in judgment, said the court, iu a science, of a man unskilled in that science (if such a thing can be) is malpractice. In other words, a person attempting to practice, in physic or surgery, withou first having obtained a knowledge of such science, is liable for nil (lie damage that is the result of his practice. The case was given to the jury, which re turned a verdict of five hundred dollars for the plaintiff. That is ft capital story of a wag in a stage coach who had been listening, in company with a number of other passengers, to the wonder ful story of a drover in the neighborhood through which they were passing, who tell a sleep bv the side of a lime kiln, and slept on while his leg w r .s burnt off, and then got up aud asked a man by whom he was roused from his slumbers to assist him in looking for his shoes, lie gave the following fact, which is equally cred ! blc: “A hypochondriac, who occasionally took odd lanoies, at last imagined himself a tea ket tle, and sending the servant on some fictitious erraud, took an opportunity iu her absence to seat himself on the kitchen fire, where on her return she found him singing. He then cau tioned her to beware how she took off his lid, lest she should be scalded by the steam, and he would not constat to her removing it till she procured the kettle holder, to save her fingers from tho heat of the handle. He was at length rescued from his pleasing position, and a surgeon sent for, if possible, to remedv the ill consequence of his vagary, when he received additional pleasure from‘a persuasion that tho son of Esculapius was n tinker, who had been called in to mend him!” Remarkable Case. hast summer, t'harles Walters appeared in Baltimore, and from his effeinina'e appearance was taken by the police, charged with being a female in male attire. The prisoner plead guilty, promised with many tears to reform and was carried back to *• her” home in Al bany, New \ork. Last week the same person appoareu in Baltimore, and was again arrest ed on the same charge, and being placed in jail, was proved by a physician that he was a mult, iho police was somewhat taken aback i at tins, especially us the policeman who at tended him to Albany last summer, lmd shown* I him all the attention he would have shown an 1 “unprotected female.” California Election.

By a law of Calitornia the u e y ?ct *on is held every lour years on the i the Presidential electionl £ o°n s?Zi” thiß iu other ! pears on the 8d day 0 f September. Prom Kansas. Ve find the following in the St. Louis Re publican, of the Bth instant: IndbpkKpenoe, Sept, 3, 1850. Since the skirmish at Ossawattomie, of which you were apprized, the pro-slavery party, tor greater effectiveness, determined not to make any other attack upon Lane or Brown's forces until the 13th. Many of the different compa nies, who only expected to remain a few days, and were unprepared for a regular campaign, returned to their homes to make such prepar ations as wus required, and designed coming hack to prosecute the war with greater deter mination and boldness. Immediately upon the separation of this body of men, the abo litionists, driven to extremity by hunger, were necessarily compelled to make some bold at tack upon anything that offered. It seems the returning Santa Fe trains were the most convenient, and on the day before yesterday they surrounded and took Win. McKinney s train of twei. y wagons—their oxen, provis ions and wagons. Bent’s and one or two oth er trains were close in the rear of McKinney’s, and it is feared they hfive shared the sar- e fate. One or two outward bound trains are afraid to leave the line, as these robbing par ties have threatened all, and say that they will even come into the State, and destroy Westport, New Santa Fe, and ibis place. Os this we feel no apprehension, save by incen diaries. We learn that Richardson is still in the field, with 700 or to 800 men, and near to Lawrence. It is expected that he will make an attack upon Lawrence in a day or two. Yours, &c., in haste. A letter from Leavenworth City, dated on the 2d instant, contains the following infor mation : The Territory is again in great excitement. 1 came yesterday in a company from Weston to help to guard this city from destruc tion. Two houses were burned this morning at 2 o’clock. They both belonged to Free soilers. To-day all is quiet here. Yesterday two men were killed, one pro-slavery and one freesoiler. One on each side also mortally wounded. The freesoilers are leaving on eve ry boat. 1 never saw the horrors of war be fore. 1 stood guard last night for the preser vation of property, with the Burneses and others, the best men in Weston. An attack from Lane’s men is expected daily. Letters have been intercepted to that effect. I shall proba bly go to Leonnipton to-day, and see what is the state of affairs there. The houses are very comoustible. The town will be burned, I fear, unless guarded vigilantly. Settlers with their families are leaving in great num bers. The collision here was brought on in this way: “ Letters were found giving directions to certain Free State men to secrete arms in va rious parts of the town; men would then come by small squads, and, when ready, a company would march from Lawrence to sur prise the town. The pro-slavery men organ ized, and were searching the houses when they were fired on. One man from near l’latte City was killed by a shot from a house. The fire was returned, and Philips, a IVeesoil law yer, was killed. Philips’ brother is lying at the point of death. T hope the matter may end here—that, peace will yet he restored. But it looks like hoping against hope.” An extra from the office of tlie Western Dispatch, published at Independence, Sept. 3d, 1 o’clock, A. M., expresses great appre hensions of a visit from Lane, with 3,000 in surgents, having ten pieces of artillery, and that they will pay their respects to Lexington, Westport and Santa Fe. It is said “ these desperadoes swenr they will carry everything before them, and leave nothing.” The Dis patch seems to place implicit relianee upon this news, though it is not likely to be well founded.” The extra contains the following letter from a number of gentlemen at Westport. It is dated Westport, Mo., Sept. 2, 1850. To the Citizens of Missouri:—Mr. Thomas Trewitt has just arrived from New Mexico ; he had charge of Mr. S. L. McKinney s train from this place. His train was taken from him at Palmyra, K. TANARUS., by the abolitionists under Lane. Bent’s and Campbell’s trains were just behind, and lie thinks they are also taken. They say they are determined to destroy New Santa Fe, Westport and Independence, between this time and Saturday night. Send us help and let them be here as soon ns possible. We want you to-morrow. This place will probably be attacked to-morrow night. Wm. M. Bent, Upton Hays, Thomas John son, James B. Yager, 0. Anderson, W. B. Ber nard, A. G. Boone, J. G. Hamilton. James Findley. P. S. —The wagons were taken yesterday morning at 11 o’clock. Gov. Garay.—This gentleman left Jefferson City for Kansas, in lie Keystone, on Saturday evening. Ho will, therefore, unless delayed by the low stage of the river, be sure to ar rive at Kansas City to-morrow. If. as our ac count. intimates, an attack on the insurgents at Lawrence is to be delayed until the 13th, lie will have ample time for consultation with Gen. Smith, and to put in force the orders recently issued by the President’s direction. The Slave Trade Again. In the year 1855 some British traders un dertook to uodgo the odium of the negro \ “ slave trade” by giving a very small sum of money, about seven dollars, lor each negro who would cuiigrato from the coast of Africa as “a laborer.” It was said to be a volunta ry act on the part of the negro going, but it was well known that no one was allowed “to trade” on the coast in this way. unless he first made a present to the “head man,” and then it was discovered that the “laborers” j volunteered as fast as they were wanted, nr ‘ in other words, they were compelled to volun teer. The Liberian government issued a proclamation warning all engaged in it to cease the traffic. The British government, of course, when their hypocrisy was exposed to the world, were forced to desist. It now ap pears by the last arrival from Liberia, that the French government are trying the game game, i” oialer to get “laborers” (slaves) for French Guiana. The negro President of Libe- | via li;s issued another proclamation, again exposing the deception, which it is presumed | will frighten off Louis Napoleon, who, though I he needs no excuse for enslaving white men, 1 probably, like England and the Black Repub licans iu this country, desires to keep up a doubtful reputation ns “a friend of freedom,” by pretending to have the utmost regard for negroes.— Xctr York Dag Book. The Negro Trade in Riclunond. The Richmond (Va.) Dispatch says there lias been a greater demand for slaves in that city during the months of May, June, and July, than was ever known before, and they have commanded better prices during that time. A large number of negroes are bought on speculation, and probably there is no less than $1,000,000 in that town seeking invest ment iu such property. Black Repuplican Meeting in Baltimore Dispersed. This association held a meeting last evening at the Temperance Temple, and in the absence of the President, Mr. Elias Hawley, omnotion of Mr. Wm. Gunnison, Alt. F. S. Oorkrau was called to the chair, and Mr. Win. E. Coale, jr., was selected as secretary pro tein. Mr. Wm. Gunnison, from a committee ap pointed to report an address to the Republi cans of this State submitted one which set out with the declaration of their devotion to the Constitution and the Union, and of their ad hesion to freesoilisnt in territories admitted; declaring the repeal of the Missouri Compro mise lo be a breach of faith on tlio part of the South, and that peace and unity could not again exist without the same was restored. It also declared that the charge made against them of being iu favor of abolitionism was un just and unfounded, as they held tne opinion that the emancipation of the slnve would tend to render his condition worse, and fatal to the black race, unless the government should take steps to colonize the manumitted slaves. It declares slavery to be pregnant with difficulty by causing a monopoly of the soil in the slave States, and that it tended to subjugate the rights and interests of the nonslaveliokler to the slave owner. The Kansas act it denoun ces as a fraud, and also denounces the admin istration for employing the government troops in the civil war existing in that territory, as the address sets forth, against the free State men. At this stage of the reading of the address a large number of persons who had assembled in the room and around the door created some slight confusion by crowding and laughter, when a Mr. Meredith, well known as a Sun day sb-'-jt pre icher. passed down the room to them and commandesilence and ordered them to leave the room or take scats. This was succeeded by loud laughter, applause and hisses, and three cheers being proposed for Fillmore, they were given amid the utmost confusion and terrific noise produced by stamping, clapping of hands, &o. Next three cheers were given for Buchanan in the same fashion, and for some twenty minutes there was kept up a succession of cheering for these gentlemen, alternated with loud groans for Col. Fremont, Corkran, Gunnison, Fussell, and others taking part in the meeting—the whole being interspersed with cries of “turn off the lights,” “ tar and feather them,” &c., while loud calls were made by the same par ties for speeches from those concerned in the meeting. Some of the lights here being turned off, these gentlemen commenced leaving the room, when they were sainted as they passed through the crowd with groans, hisses and other simi lar sounds and remarks, they making as has ty an exit ns possible, followed by the crowd, where an immense concourse had assembled, and upon reaching the street loud cries were made for rails, upon which to ride them, and the cheering and groaning was renewed.— Messrs. Corkran and Col. Wm. E. Coale were followed by the crowd and roughly hustled about until they had reached the corner of Gay and Fayette streets, where the former was tripped up or knocked down, and the tails of his coat entirely cut off; while the latter named gentleman, although not so roughly treated, was pushed and hustled about in other than a pleasant manner, and his hat mashed iu. They were then allowed to take their de parture, whilst the crowd amused themselves by cutting hc portion of Mr. Corkrnn’s gar ment they had secured into strips and distri buting it among them. Those taking part in (lie meeting numbered from thirty to forty persons, while the out side crowd amounted to at least two thousand persons; in fact the whole street from the hall to Fayette street was almost entirelv blocked up. From those concerned in the meeting we learn that the association had determined up on presenting an electoral ticket in this State, and that the names of those selected was to have been announced at this meeting.—Balti more Sun. [The attempt of the same set of traitors to hold a second meeting the ensuing night, re sulted in a row at which, two were killed and twenty wounded.—G. J.] The United States of America Foretold in the Bible. This was the subject of a lecture, delivered by Mr. Pitts, in the Tabernacle, on Monday evening. The lecturer demonstrated that the rise of a great nationality was promised in an age of intelligence, energy and locomotion, and argued that this was not literally the re storation ot the Jews, but the prophecy was realized in the political and religious organi zation of the United States. That this coun try arose w hen anil where it was promised, at the end of 1,290 prophetic days from the de stiuction of Jerusalem, which period termina ted on the 4th of July, 1779. He said that the land pictured in the prophecy of Daniel, was to be a newly discovered land, that had always been waste, and that it was a land of rivers and streams; and that it was to be in habited by a people gathered out of all na tions; that it was to be located between two seas—the eastern and the western; that its cities and villages should have neither walls nor gates, nor bars, and that it was to be first visited by the vessels of Spain ; that emigra tion should come for the freedom of worship ping God, and that it was to be a Republic, and that this Republic should begin in the organization of thirteen distinct States; that its rise should be an epoch in the history of 1 iiuuinity, to learning, agriculture, commerce ami trade; that the United States was the stone kingdom promised by Daniel—the man child born of the Virgin Woman of the Wilder ness—the land shadowing with wings.— In fact, that this great country and govern ment was a child of Providence, and was nur tured and raised up as the model government of the world, to which the empires of the earth would finally conform. But before Republi canism became world-wide the great battle of civil and religious liberty on the one side and ecclesiastical despotism on the othev, would come oft 1 in the Field of Armageddon. True or false, the speaker evidently placed Ids argu ments cl.arly ~nd logically before an appre ciating audience. Friz© Conundime. At the People's Theatre a short time since, silver cups were awarded to the authors of the two following conundrums: “ Why should the American nominee for President be elected?” Answer —“ Because he has tilled many im port ant places, and the universal cry of the nation is fill more.” “ Why is Fremont to be pitied?” Answer —“ Because he got Jessie from Ben ton once, ami is now in a fair way to get “jes sie” from the people.” —lnldltg ticer. The Star says that comunications of an un friendly character have passed brtweru France and Eugland relative to Spanish affairs. The Star virtually admits that England would make every conce*sion in order to secure the friend ship of America in the event- of a rupture with France. The Treaty with the Dominican Republic. Correspouilf-nce of the Charleston Courier. Havana, Aug. 31st, 185 C. We have here on his way to the United States, Jonathan Elliott, of Washington, who was appointed by the President of the United States to make a treaty with the Do minican Republic. His labors were well per formed, and an advantageous compact agreed upon between him and the Plenipotentiaries of that Government, signed on the Bth ot March last, and ratified by the President ami Senate of the Dominican Republic, and trans mitted to the Secretary of the United States, to pass the same ordeal, and it was delivered to Marcy on the second day of May. This trea ty has proved obnoxiuus to the Spanish Con sul General and Charge, at or near the same government, and he has been instigating revo lution in die country since, in order to cause it to be repudiated— nudum/actum —or to prevent the exchange of ratifications. Having fabri cated the pretext, of a quarrel, lie caused Spanish vessels of war to be sent to the Capital, Santo Domingo—compelled the au thorities to hoist the Spanish Hag and salute it, which was returned subsequently, onboard of the vessels of war brig Gravina and war steamer Blario de Garay—but to their own Hag. These vessels, Mr. Segovia, the Span ish Consul, kc. , kept there for the purpose of controlling the legally constituted authorities of the country. By his intrigues lie caused the President Santa Anna to resign, who was replaced by the Wee President lleglumota, and anew Vice President elected, which is in conformity with their constitutional law. Ills next demands were that the cabinet should be retired by the President, whom he held under fear f the bombardment of the city—it was dissolved and a row ministry appointed by edict of the President, dated the 9th of July, the Spanish Consul General furnishing the names to his Excellency, partie , ' , nrly for the Secretary of State and Foreign Affairs, wiio was one of his own creatures, and paid for with Spanish gold, besides having been naturalized by Segovia as a Spanish subject. This done on the I‘Jtli of July, Air. Segovia writes a let ter .o Secretary Marcy, which his Secretary of State signs, requesting hint to return the treaty of Btli March, for the correction of some important errors in orthography, forms and translation—well sweetened With assur ances of esteem, friendly feeling, Ac., towards the United States, and with assurance that pending the delay that might occur, especial measures would be adopted as our interest might require, so that we should be on the footing of the most favored nations with the Republic. The declaration has been in public and private by Segovia—“ that there shall be no treaty between the United States and the Dominican Republic, and that if the treaty should be confirmed or ratified by the United States, that he will prevent the exchange of ratifications at the city of Santo Domingo. By Mr. Segovia’s construction of the recent treaty made by Spain with that Republic, for protection of Spanish subjects, restitution of property to Spanish subjects, &c., he is about to absorb the best part of the territory, and make all the colored population, near one hundred and sixty thousand, by matriculation, subjects of Spain. Ho lias given a large number of naturalization papers to the sol diers of the Republic, and compelled their discharge; he lias compelled the organization of a court of justice, compo-sed of his matri culated servants; he says the treaty with Spain compels the restoration of lands, form erly belonging to Spanish subjects, in all cases where they have not been confiscated—- no lands have been confiscated by the State, therefore all must revert to the former owners, their heirs, or to the Crown of Spain, whence the grants were made. He declares that, in twelve months, lie will have the western part of the Island under the Spanish flag, and that Ilayti shall, soon hereafter, by covered by the same protection. Mr. Segovia lias threatened to search an American trading vessel laying (was on the 2d of this month,) in harbor, un der pretence of capturing someone who had violated the laws of the country over which he has instituted himself protector, and has threatened the captain of the Yankee craft that if he resisted, he would blow him out of the water with the guns commanding him of the Spanish vessels of war. He sent to St. Jago de Cuba for more vessels of war to be sent to him. Our Captain General has order ed his Governors at the East and South side ot the Island to send instant aid to Segovia, in vessels or means for war, or subsistance, when he requires it. The letter of Segovia to Mr. Marcy, which was signed by the illegal Secretary of State of the Dominican Republic, was sent under cover to the Capt. Gon. cf Cu ba, by the war steamer Blario de Garay, des patched by Segovia for St. Jago de Cuba. General Concha it is said forwarded the same letter to the Spanish Minister at Washington, with the request that he should deliver it to Mr. Marcy, and I presume offer Spanish ser vice to consummate the fraud and indignity ol Segovia, to take charge of the public doc uments, and to return them by a Spanish ves sel of war to the Secretary Savastida, idias Segovia, of the Dominican Republic. The whole criminal course of this man, against the rights and interests of the United States, by his presumptuous interference and his ma licious intrigues, cannot be detailed. 1 trust they will be responded to by those seals ot‘ national intregrity thui give utterance to evil doers and pirates with brazen mouths—that vessels of war will be despatched with the treaty ratified for exchange. Mr. Elliott leaves by tlie first steamer for Washington to lay all the facts of these various outrages before the Government of the United States. The histo ry will be a long one. Crops. Extract from a letter from Houston county —dated Sept. 13th: “ The prospects of the planters are exceed ingly gloomy in this and the adjoining conn tics. The terrible <f .'tight of ’6O will lie felt and remembered by many of them for a long time. I was more favored than some of my neighbors, but 1 do not think I shall make a half crop either of cotton or provisions. For nearly ten weeks in some sections of the coun *v. th*’ ancient curse wus realized, “thy Hea ven that is over thy head shall be brass, and (he earth that is under thee, shall be iron.” Then came the storm of the lat of August and gave the coup degrace to the cotton crop, with its drenching rain and furious wind.— The most of the cotton which had opened per- , manently on account of the dry weather, was whipped out of the bolls and either destroyed by being washed under the ground, or badly injured by the mud ami sand. 1 wrote you last year that wc would make an overwhelm- j ing crop—the result verified the prediction. I now predict less than half a crop in this county —wateli the result.” ■—•— —— The Alexandria Sentinel announces that Mr. B. W.

Mr. Lord was accepted unanimously as hr- Elector. For the second a discussion arosea to the merits of Messrs. Griswold and Bishop Isaac H. Wright, of Boston, objected to Hr Griswold, saying that, it was he that electe-i Hon. Chas. Sumner to the United States Sen ate. B. F. Butler, of Lowell, defended the coali tion, and said by the living Jehovah he would have voted for Mr. Sumner had he had a roll to give in the Legislature at ;he time. Mr. Wright was denounced on every linn-i for introducing this firebrand. Mr. Griswold was finally accepted as Sec ond Senatorial Elector. The District Electors are to be elected bj District conventions. The resolutions are brief, and in substance are as follows: Accept and endorse the Cincinnati platfora and candidates ; re-affirm the Squatter -Sover eignty doctrine; compliment the Democnii and denounce the Republicans in Congress, and declare for the Union. Col. Isaac H. Wright, of Boston, made the principal speech of the day. The proceedings generally were harmoni ous. Barley Without Beards. It has recently been announced by the pub lic journals that a species of barley had been brought into cultivation, divested of the pois onous and troublesome “beard” attachedt the common varieties of that grain. Mr. I W. Briggs, of West Madison, Wayne county. New Vork, published the following in relation thereto. As many of our intelligent scieutif. aud practical farmers are availing thenisel'ft of the improvements of this advancing ngt sonic may possibly find the matter worthyol attention. The grain is said to have been dis covered in tlie gulches of the Himalayan Mountains. Mr. Briggs thus writes to the cl itor of the Pittsburg Journal: “1 obtained 7 grains of this new variety three years ago, and being much pleased with its general appearance and product ivene have spared no pains to multiply this small quantity as fast as tlie Shanghais and other birds would allow. “ Its merits for grinding or malting h 9 ’* 1 not been tested, and the quantity is now M* small to squander in that way, when ever; tiller of tlie soil who sees it, is anxious t have a few grains, not doubting it will pr° ts a valuable acquisition. I have sufficient, ho*- ever, to furnish all persons interested “I: will be likely to see this notice, with one heal each, containing 30 to GO grains. Send iM your address on a stamped envelope and I will enclose a head, and send it back by return mails, with printed instructions for cultivating in a way to ensure a lnVge return from a s® a! quantity of seed. Should this new variety be found to answer all the purposes of the common barley, n few years will suffice 1 drive 1 Burley Beards ’ from the country. “ Should any person desire more than one head I will send n package of 700 to grains securely enveloped, by mail, post pas tor 25 cents, accompanied with a few heads i 1 prove the fact of its being beardless. Tlie editor of the Journal acknowledges receipt of iioad of the “beardless barley, with the above letter, aud says: The g r<|]l is plump, fair, and tiinty, and certainly the;’ heads without the pestilent barbs or bear which impair the value of the ordinary va* l ' 1 ties of barley. This new species will bo ■’ great boon to our farmers if found to t hrt T well in our climate.” New Feature. Anew feature lias been introduced at “| ie ’ ling. At tlie conclusion of a discussion w recently took place near that city, “nntiro e ‘ of beautiful young ladies appeared upon speaker's stand and sung two songs in t ;l ’ Buchanan.”
