The Rumor about Gen. Cass.
The correspondent of the Journal of Com
merce, in a letter from Washington on the 20th
ult., says the rumor of yesterday, that General
Cass had been offered auil had accepted the
State Department, is not to be credited. The
General may have been consulted by Mr. Bu
chanan, but if he had been ottered ajeabinet ap
pointment, he would not liuvo disclosed it. lie
is too prudent and too old a politician to em
barrass his friend by such an exposure. The
rumor has made no impression here.
President’s Message.
Tbe failure of the Charleston mail to come
through yesterday, deprived ns of an opportu
nity of laying this document before the readers
of the Sun this morning. We copy in another
column, from tiie Savannah papers, a tele
graphic synopsis of its contents. Look out for
I lie entire document to-morrow.
Another Good Dividend,
The Marine Bank, it will be seen from the
notice of tho Cashier, says the Savannah Re
publican, has followed the suit of its city co
tumporarieH, and declared a dividend at the
rate of twelve per centum per annum. Such
exhibits from the old banks, in connection with
the fact that seteral new institutions have re
cently gone into operation, with large capital,
and are doing a successful business, afford a
most flattering evidence of tho progressive
prosperity and commercial importance of Sa
vannah. Such results are highly honorable to
us as a business community, and may be con
templated with a true satisfaction by every
citizen.

Convict at Largo.
Albei t Stuart, couvieted at the present term
of the Circuit Court, in Crittenden county,
Ark., of stealing slaves from Jucob Harold,
was brought to this city yesterday for the pur
pose of taking a boat for Little Rock. While
the officers in charge were examining some
clothing on Front Bow, the prisoner broke
loose from the person who held him and made
his escapo. There was a large crowd nearby,
through which he disappeared, and although
instant pursuit was made he was not overtaken
or again observed. The sheriff of Crittenden
county offers SIOO reward for his apprehen
sion. Ho had been sentenced to the peniten
tiary for five years. Stuart is described as
about five feet six inches in height, spare
made, dark complexion, long black hair, had
on when he made his escape a black pair of
(.ants, black cloth frock coat, o vest, button
holes of his shirt bosom torn, no cravat and
no shoes.— Memphis Enquirer.

The Wheelbarrow Business.
Under this head the Philadelphia Bulletin
of Friday gives a most amusing account of a
theatrical feat, ala Ben Per ley Poore, that
came elfin that city the night previous. The
following extracts will give some idea of the ,
sport:
Managers of places of amusement are apt
at inventing plans to draw crowds and to keep
people talking about their “concerns,” and the
latest and most amusing feat of the kind came
off in Philadelphia last evening. It was bas
ed on the hint given by tho popularity of Maj.
Bcu I’erlcy Poore’s wheelbarrow bet, and
John Brougham’s feat of performing in New
York and Philadelphia on the same night.
“The Plan. —The idea was originated by Mr.
S7 Sanford, the manager of the opera troupe,
and it was nothing loss than to perform in
Odd Fellow's Hall, West Philadelphia, early
in the evening, have the troupconvcyed to the
Opera House, in Eleventh street, above Ches
nut, in wheelbarrows, and perform there also,
tho distance between the two points being say
two miles and a half, and time between the
performances to be as short as possible.
Tho mode of conveyance was grotesque and
mirth provoking: both from the peculiarity of
the vehicle and the associations therewith con
nected. The motive power was hone and sin
ew—“elbow grease” to be applied at the shafts,
by swart Ethiopians, stout and strong, two sets
of whom were provided for each vehicle.
After the amusing details of the triumphant
wheelbarrow tramp, the following account is
given of the arrival, the reception and the se
cond performance :
Tho first wheelbarrow pitched around the
cornor of Eleventh and Market in just seven
teen minutes from the time of leaving Odd
Fellow’s Hall, viz: at 22 minutes of 9 o’clock.
It was received into the bosom of an immensu
crowd, who set up tho cry “hero they come!”
for the one hundredth time that evening.
Sanford “disembarked” and was fairly carried
into the stage entrance. Then began the rash
toward the ticket-office, and coat buttons,
corns and ribs suffered. The house had been
tolerably filled before, and in a short time as
many new comers ns could get places were
“in.” Shouts of “hyst tho rag,” “order,”
&c., kept the audience amused until the cur
tain rose on Pocahontas.” Applause greeted
the performers, and when Sanford came in as
the Captain without a name, three hearty
cheers greeted him, and the burlesque proceed
ed.
The performance was excellent, the hits told,
and the whole went off with eclat.
Great Improvement in Telegraphing.
Avery curious apparatus called “Hughes’
Printing Telegraph Instrument,” for which
patents were taken out within the past year,
has at length been completed, and was exhib
ited yesterday, at the rooms of the American
Telegraph Company in Wall street. The event
lias been anticipated with much interest; and
the instrument, as now improved, is found to
realize the highest expectation. It is very
simple and effective—prints neatly and rapid
ly,—will soml and receive despatches at the
same time over one wire—and performs feats
which indicate a progress of tho greatest im
portance in the telegraphic art.
The principal parts of the instrument com
prise a series of four clock wheels, with one
weight, governed in their revolutions by the
vibration at a spring. The governing princi
ple here recognized is a well known law in
acoustics, that a certain number of vibrations
produce a certain musical tone. As applied in
this instance, each vibration releases a tooth
of the type-wheel: and two or more machines,
having the same tone-spring, must necessarily
rovolve in unison. Therefore the letters on
the type-wheel are always opposite the press
at a certain moment. As these vibrations arc
exceedingly rapid, the type-wheel revolves very
swiftly—the press printing while revolving.—
In tbe House machine, Ihe type-wheel is gov
erned in its revolutions by twenty-eight break
ings and closings of electricity, and if one wave
of electric current is not felt at the receiving
offices, tho instrument is inevitably thrown out
of adjustment. In the improved machine, the
electricity has no connection with tho type
wheel. It is therefore impossible for the in
strument to get out of adjustment from this
cause ; and for the same reason the type-wheels
are not affected by any electrical change of the
atmosphere.
The electricity through the “holding” pow
er of electro-magnetisui, which is much more
sensitive than the attractive power—according
to theory, one hundred times more so. Im
mediately after the armature is released by the
breaking of the circuit, a lever connected with
the press-work restores it to its original posi
tion.
Another striking peculiarity arises from the
fact that it is not necessary for an operator to
be constantly in attendance, as the instrument
can be started by an operator at another sta
tion, and print with perfect accuracy without
superintendence.
It is also noticeable, that a despatch can bo
sent secretly to any distance, passing through
many offices, and yet cut off all, except those to
which it is directed.
The instrument is much less complicated
than other printing machines, costing $75 or
SIOO, whereas, those now in use cost about
SSOO. Tho wheels are the same in number as
in the Morse instrument, and of about
the same size. The new machine is to be
introduced on all the lines of the American
Telegraph Company, as fast as they can be
constructed. This Company has now uuder
its control between 2,500 and 3,000 miles of
wire.
High Price for Negroes.
At an administrator’s sale in this vicinity, a
few days since, of the estate of John L. Boyd,
deceased, a lot of over 60 negroes were sold at
an average of about S7OO each. Field hands
brought from SI,OOO to $1,300. Terms, a
credit of 12 months, without interest. Corn
sold at from 80 to 90 cents cents per bushel.—

The Grape Culture.
An Ohio vine grower writes to the Journal
of Commerce that there are now devoted to
vineyard culture over 4,000 acres in the Ohio
valley, about half of which quantity is in the
viciuity of Cincinnati. In the Missouri valley
there are about 700 to 800 acres, and in the
Upper Mississippi valley 500 to 600 acres. In
Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina and Geor
gia, several vineyards of the Catawba grape
have lately been planted with flattering pros
pects, thus far, of producing far better crops
than those of the Ohio valley.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
Washington, Dec. 2.—The Annual Message
of President Pierce was delivered to Congress
to-day. The following is a synopsis of its
contents:
The President claims that the result of the
late election is a condemnation of the sectional
policy sought to lie introduced into the gov
ernment, and a vindication of the equality of
of the States. lie condemns, generally, the
agitation of the slavery question, and gives a
history of its progress. lie defends the Kan
sas-Ncbraska Act and the repeal of the Mis
souri Compromise, which latter, he maintains,
was no breach of faith on the part of the re
pealers. lie reviews the recent events in
Kansas, and says the disorders in that Territo
ry have been generally exaggerated, for party
effect. The real trouble was, Kansas was
made the battle-field of the late Presidential
election. All civil war there, ho says, is now
ended. The greater portion of the Message is
devoted to this subject.
The reference to foreign affairs is brief and
unimportant.
During the past fiscal year, the receipts from
customs have been over $64,000,000, and the
receipts from all sources amount to $78,018-
000 ; which, with the balance on hand in July
1855, make a total of present resources $98,-
850,000.
The expenditures, including $3,000,000 for
the execution of the treaty with Mexico, and
excluding the sums paid on the public debt,
amount to 8>60,162,000.
• The public debt has been reduced to $30,-
000,000.
He recommends a reduction of the revenue
derived from customs to fifty millions of dol
lars.
Certain changes are recommended in the
policy of distributing troops. He also recom
mends an increase of tba naval force, arid the
negotiation of the new contracts for conveying
the mails via Tehuantepec and Nicaragua.
A Bupplimental treaty lias been concluded
with Great Britain, and the Central American
controversy, arising out of the construction of
the Clayton-Buhver treaty, finally adjusted.
The Bound Dues question, with Denmark, is
still unsettled, but in a fair way for adjust
ment.
With Spain no new difficulties have arisen,
though but little progress has been made in the
settlement of those that are pending. The ne
gotiations for relieving our commerce with
Cuba from some of its burthens, and provid
ing for a more speedy settlement of our local
disputes, have not yet been attended with any
satisfactory results.
Tho President assents to the abolition of
privateering, as proposed by the seven Powers
at the late Paris Conference, provided it he so
amended as to exempt the private property of
belligerents from seizure, except such as shall
be of a contraband character. He hopes this
amendment will be accepted.
lie has refused to receive either of the .Min
isters accredited to this Government from the
Republic of Nicaragua, on the ground tiiat it
is impossible to determine, at the preset, which
of the contending parties is the Government
de facto.
Tho Message declares that the President
will resist the attempt of New Granada to ex
ecute her tonage, or mail taxes, upon the Uni
ted States, and charges that the Government
of that country is responsible for the Panama
riots. lie lias demanded full indemnity for
the outrage, and provision for the families of
those of our citizens who were killed. A spe
cial Commissioner has been appointed and sent
out to negotiate indemnity for tbe past and se
curity for the future.
Report of the Secretary of the Navy.
The following is a synopsis of the Naval
Report, accompanying the .Message.
The Secretary rccemuiends that two squad
rons be kept in service on the Pacific, in the
future, and that the gunnery practice system
be established in the Navy. The new frigates,
he says, have realized the most sanguine exl
peetations, and recommends that additiona
sloops of war be constructed, of light draught,
to enter the Southern ports. Urges a steady
augmentation of the naval forces; recommends
shorter cruises, to be limited in duration to
two years; the promotion of ten Apprentices,
annually, to the grade of Midshipmen : a small
corps of Assistance Pursers ; the croation of
the office of Judge Advocate, and the increase
of the pay of tho same grades of officers.
Report of the Secretary of Wav.
The Secretary oi War renews his recom
mendations of the last year, not heretofore
acted on by Congress, especially for a retired
list, and an increase of the pay of officers.
He proposes an abandonment of the present
system of small frontier posts, and the substi
tution of large garrisons, at convenient points,
from which summary marches mny.be made in
to the Indian country, to chastise depredating
tribes and protect emigrant trains.
Postmaster General’s Report.
The Postmaster General's Report shows that
the efficiency in the receipts of the Department
for the present year, will amount to upwards
of $2,756,006. lie recommends the abolition
of the franking privilege, and making free mat
ter pay half rates. He also recommends a
reduction of compensation to the Panama Rail
road to not exceeding $50,000 per annum.
Also the establishment of a weekly mail route
to Ban Francisco by the Nicaragua or Tehuan
tepec route, alternating with the Panama
route—tho new service not to exceed $300,000
per annum.

An Article for our Lady Readers.
We find tliefollowing in theLafourche (La.)
Union—but can’t tell whether it is original
there, or not. No matter —it is a capital ar
ticle, and should be read by every lady in the
land:
HOW TO PRESERVE WOMEN.
There is nothing in the world that we think
so much of as we do women. Our mother is a
woman—wife, sisters, pretty eousins, are wo
men ; and tho daughters will be if (Heaven
spare them!) they live long enough. And then
there is a love of women in general which we
do not deny. A fine, magnificent specimen of
the sex, full of life and health, l ipo red cheek,
and flashing eye, is something that does one
good to look at as she illuminates the humdrum
sidewalks and every day streets. A North
River steamer under full headway, with colors
Hying is rather a pretty sight—rather stirring
and inspiring ; and we pull up our tired nag
to see her pass and admire the swell she cuts.
Comparatively, however, the steamer sinks
into insignificance, or some other very deep
water, by the side of a well kept, well dressed
woman. There is no rubbing it out; women
are tho ornament, charm, blessing, beauty and
bliss of life—(men’s life, we mean, of course.)
Any means that can be devised for preserving
them should be publicly made known. They
are different from any other kind of fruit.—
You cannot pick them. You cannot do them
up in sugar and set them in a cold room, with
a paper soaked in brandy over their mouths.
You cannot put them up in cans and seal them
up air tight, without injuring their form and
flavor. Now, as men are so dependent upon
women for life’s choicest blessings, a proper
mode of preserving them becomes of great mo
ment, and wc are sure that the public will thank
us for au unfailable receipt,
Have the feet well protected, then pay the
next attention to the chest. The chest is the
repository of the vital organs. There abide
the heart and lungs. It is from the impres
sions made upon these organs through the skin,
that the shiver comes. It is nature’s quake—
the alarm bell —at the onset of danger. A
woman never shivers from the effect of cold
upon her limbs, or hands, or head ; but let the
cold strike through her clothing on her chest,
and off go her teeth into a chatter, and the
whole organism is in a commotion. One sud
den and severe impression of cold upon the
chest has slain its tens of thousands. There
fore, while the feet are well looked after, nev
er forget the chest-. These points attended to,
the natural connections of the dress will sup
ply the rest, and the woman is ready for the
air. Now let her visit her neighbors, go shop
ping, call upon the poor, and walkforthe good
of it, for the fun of it.
Keep away from tho stove or register. Air
that is dry or burnt, more or less charged with
gasses evolved by the fuel, is poison. Go up
stairs and make the beds with mittens on. Fly
around the house like mad, and ventilate the
rooms. Don't sit up in a single room with
double windows. Fruit will not retain its full
form and flavor in air tight cans ; neither will
women. They need air. If the shiver comes
on during these operations, go directly and put
on something more about the chest.
Again, do not live in dark rooms. Light
fades ihe carpet but it feeds the flower. No
living animal or vegetable can enjoy health in
darkness. Light is almost as necessary as air,
and a brown tan is far preferable, even as a
matter of beauty, to a sickly paleness of com
plexion.
Thus much in regard to the physical means
for preservation. There are moral means no
less important. Every woman should be mar
ried to an excellent man. Marriage, it is true
brings care and wear, but it is the ring that is
worn that keeps bright, and the watch that
lies still and unwound that gets out of order.
—The sweet sympathies evolved in the re
lations of tho family, the new energies de
veloped by new responsibilities, the new com
pensation for all outlays of strength, brings
about a delightful play of the heart and intel
lect which, in their reaction upon the body,
produces an effect that is nothing less than
preservation. Then, there is a higher moral
power than this—ono which we speak of sober
ly and honestly. No one is completely armed
against the encroaching ills of life, who has in
heart no place for religion. The calmness, the
patience, and the joy and hope that are in pos
session of that woman whose heart is right in
its highest relation, can never fail to preserve
and heighten every personal power and charm
that she possesses.
There! you have the receipt. Some of it is
in sportive form, but it is not the less sober
truth. It has within it the cure for many a
disease—the preventive for more. It might
be made longer; but when wo see its prescrip
tions universally adopted, it will be time to
bring forward the remainder.
The Oil Market,
The New Bedford Standard of November 19,
says: During the past |.‘! |or| 1 months the
price of sperm oil has been gradually falling,
until now it comm.aids somewhat less than
SI.oO per gallon. The decline was slow, the
price fulling from SI.SO or thereabouts, down
to its present market value. The causes of
the decline nro owing to the quantities on hand
and the fact that the holders of small lots are
crowding them into the market. According
to present indications, there will be a still fur
ther decline before the movement is upward.
