The Home Mother —Some one writing for the
Masonic Mirror hue drawn a pretty picture of u
boir>e-lo|ring,child loving mother:
“We must draw aline, aye, a broad line, between
her and the frivolous butteriiy oi fashion, who flirts
from ba)l to opera and party, decked in rich roboa,
and followed by a t am an heart less an herself—
the, Wilt* so gettul of the holy lank assigned her,
negleciijng those who have been given mlto charge,
au<l lenVea them to the care of hirelings, while she
pursued her giddy round of amusements. Not so
with oUr home mother, blessings be on her head.
The heart warms to see her in her daily outline of
pleaaaut duties.
How pleasant she sits, day after day, shaping and
gewiugmnne little articles tor use and ailornmeut
lor her little thick * And how proud and pleaseo is
each little recipient ot her kindness. How the little
faces dimpled with pleasure, and the bright eyes
grow stl’.ll brighter, as mamma decks them with her
own hands in the new dress she made ! How much
warmer and more comfortable they feel if mamma
wraps them up belore they go,to school! No one
but tier can warm the mitts anil overshoes, or the
comforts around their necks.
There is a peculiar charm about all she does, the
preeioiis mother. They could not sleep, nay, tor
that mjitter, slie could not, if she tailed to visit their
chamber, and with her own soft bauds arranged
them comfortably before they slept. Her heart
thrills fvith gratitude to her Creator as she looks on
those Sweet, blooming faces, and when their prayers
are doue, imprints a good night kiss on each rosy
mouth! It may be, too, a tear will stait for the lit
tle nedtiing '.lint in its chill narrow bed, for whom
lrer maternal dare is no longer needed. It sleeps,
though the sleet and snow descend, and the wild
winter howls around its head. It needs no longer
her tender care ! A mightier arm enfolds it: It is
et rest. She feels and knows that it is right, and
bends meekly to the hand that sped the shaft, and
turns tv it h a warmer love, if itba possible, to those
little nines who,are left to love. How tenderly she
guards them from danger, and, with a strong un
tiring jove, she watches by their bed-side when they
are ill.
Blessings be* on the gentle, home-loving mother,
Angelp wilt loeik with love upon her acts. Her chil
dren will rise up and call her blessed, and the mem
ory oti her kindly deeds will enfold her us a garment.
The Finishing of the Temple.—Suppose the
perioii arrived when the scaffolding is struck
down and the rubbish moved away ; that is, suppose
this earth, which was the stage for its erection now
moved form beneath it, and the wicked and the
refusu of mankind, cast far away out of sight. Con
ceive you see nothing but the building. Lo 1 it
staud.'i high in view, for the admiration of the
surroijinimg universe. “Walk about Zion, and go
rouudjabout her ; tell the towers thereof ; make ye
well let bulvrurks ; consider her places—that ye
may tl.-ll it to the generation following ” What is
her foundation ! The Hock of ages ! Who is her
inhabitant? ller inhabitant is God ! Not a Haw or
a blemish is to be seen ; every stone is in its proper
place, and all contributing to the beauty erA' the
whole: ! No want of symmetry in the general
outline plan—nothing imperfect in the execution
of each part. Behold, it stauds an eternal monu
ment,! the glory of Bod, of Ins power, and wisdom
and gs ace ? Ii is ail bright and glorious wherever
you ike youi i view of it—radiating in every part
with the beaming of divine glory ! Her light is like
unto * stone most precious even like a jasper ! It
is a tefnple or Souls ! every stone is a living Soul—
blood bought spirits ! Every oue is a chosen warrior
who hjis mughc his battle in his day, and has conquer
ed ! They have come out of great tribulation to
be slopes for this building. Afflicting grave them
their pftlish . and the cement which unites then is
love.— iJiev. H- Martin.
lloiv Si.nw the Night Hulls Away!—These
words tell upon nur ears from the lips of a poor suffer
er in the lonely hours of midnight. They are still
fresh in our memory. We recollect as we listened to
to his Is hurt breathings, and saw him writhing un
der tile anguish of disease, how our iniuds ran out
upon the world, and visited the lonely cabins,
glooiijv priso is, and dark cells of the sick and dy
ing. jWe thought how many voices in: the loneli
ness iff ihut. hour were exclaiming with sorrowful
he rti, “How slow the night robs aWay!” Yes.
with intense anxiety they watched the windows, if
possible to catch the first faint streakings of the
morning light. < >ne who has watched by the bed
sid“ «ji suffering humanity, through the long slid
night' when the great heart of the world is hushed to
repose, and thesolitudeof deal b casts its gloom upon
the hixsoin of nature, can tell the solemn import of
of the words uttered by this slfl cted being as he
grappled with the strong arm of disease, and hi
deavored to ward off the keen pointed shafts. The
mother who w*atehes with sleepless eye over the
couch of her dying infant child, exclaims in sorrow,
“Iloir slow the night Tollsawa The storm-tossed
mnrifier who is nearing the port of iiis native home,
and already in imagination hears the voices of loved
ones jhsping his name, exclaims, “How slow the
uighli rolls away !'' The traveller who has for many
a long mid tedious day urged on his steps towards
home, as he lies down” to rest a few days journey
from: hi.- little C< ttage, in the solitude of midnight,
and thinking of his dear wife and prattling children,
exclaims, “How slow the night roils away !“ The
Chriilian who lias hafffed with the storm of this li‘e
for itnany a long year, until his locks have become
whiti in his tfiast r's service, m looking out upon
the future of happiness that awaits him, and who
desires to depart in peace to dwell with his God,
exclaims with enthusiasm, “How slow the night
rolls jaway
The Age.—Generations, like individuals, usually
know more of their virtues than their faults. They
are quick to discern their advantages and to make
the mo f of every supposed element of superiority.
The lights rather than the shadows of life engross
them They linger fondly around the tokens of
growth, but avoid those of decay. Pride has its
root in the sense of expanding power and advancing
greatness. Blind conceit and vain-gloriius boastiug
are the spontaneous outgrowth of eras distinguished
for novel combinations of old forces, for restless ac
tivity and brilliant results in the sphere of national
achievement. It is natural for a generation that
finds itself mated with great plans in government,
industry and science, and identified with unexam
pled triumphs in every field of human energy, to
claim more for itself than it ought, and to adopt
false (standards of judgfnent in order to give curren
c y toiextravagaut pretensions.
Our own time certainly furnishes no exception to'
remaiks of this character, but rather a most apt
instance of their truth. Its strength is vitiated by
vanity. Its glory is soiled and degraded by indis
criminate boasting. It is age of wonders and an
age of platitudes, remarkable at once for good sense
and folly, vigor and weakness, realities and shame,
Judging from much of the published thought of the
day, io say nothing of the animus of social and in
dustrial life, one would suppose it to be among the
established convictions of this generation that the
human race had just broken its shell, and begun to
comprehend the machinery of progress, that civili
zation aud literature, huinauity and brotherhood
were original creations of the present, aud that the
past survived only as a treasury of interesting his
torioakincident. It cannot be doubted that such
views have much to do with the admitted self suffi
ciency of the age, and that they prevail to a degiee
which renders the working million well-nigh insen
sible to the debt they owe preceding generations.—
Jiev. A. N. Littlejohn.
Modes of 81-rial.—Modes and places of burial
have au historical significance. The pyre of the
Greeks and Homans, the embalming process of the
Egyptians, the funeral piles of Hindoo superstition
and those bark stagings, curiously regarded by Mis’
sissippi voyagere, where Indian corpses are exposed
to the elements, —the old cross road interment of
the suicide, —the inhumation of the early patriarchs
and Christians, all symbolize eras and creeds. The
lyingrin state of the royal defunct, the sable catefal
que of the Catholic temples, the salutes over the
warrior's grave, the “Day of the dead" celebrated
in the Southern Europe, the eulogies in French
cemeteries, the sublime ritual of the Establishmeut,
and the silent prayers of the Friends, requiems, pro
cessions, emblems, inscriptions, badges, and funeral
garlands, mark faith, nation, rank, and profession
at tlw very gates of the sepulchre. Vain is the
sceptic’s sneer, useless the utilitarian's protest; by
those poor tributes the heart utters its undying re
gret find its immortal prophesies, though “mummy
has become merchandize,” and to be “but pyrami
dicaliy extent is a fallacy in duration ; ’ for, as the
same rWgious philosopher of Norwich declared, “It
is the heaviest stone that melancholy can throw at
aman, totell him that he is at the end of his nature ”
and, 'therefore, m the grim Tuscan’s Hell the souls
of those who denied their immortality when in tl.
flesh; are shut up through eternity in living
How the idea of a local abode for the mortal re
ais hallowed in our nature, is realized in the

Dr Hamlin at th* Islk or Wight. -The Rev.
Dr Hamlin missionary at Constant inept s, while i«.
oeutly in England, visited the Die of Wight to
bold a public meeting m behalf of the Tiktkisb Mis
sions Aid Society. Having al. i-ure day, lie itn
proved it by going to • Arreton, a small quiet vil
lage in the interior of the island, In whose church
yard “the dairy-man s daughter" was buried mak
mg this “a place of pilgrimage to thou muds from
many Christian lands.” The path to ler grave is
hard trodden, aud it is the only object which seems
to t-e honored and cherished, though the church
yard contains the sleeping dead of iiiaii;* centuries.
From the church he went about a mile iothe dairy
man’s e ttage, which he found very much as de
scribed in the narrative, and occupied! by his de
scendants, still folios ing the name hairiness. He
then went to Binding where Legh Hichinotid com
menced his ministry, and where the “young cotta
ger” is buried, finding everywhere the (inscriptions
of natural scenery given in those traetjs perfectly
fresh and accurate
In a letter to the Puritan Recorder, Jpr. Hamlin
adds an ther striking fact. “ Thr| Dairyman's
Daughter,” he says, “was trani-lated into Turkish
by Rev. Dr. Goodell many years since, and a copy
presented by him to the Armenian church ot Nioo
tnedia, wus the means of the con version jxk- {he two
priests, Der Horootiana and Der Varieties, both of
them still jur faithful helpers, bring forth fruit in
old age. From that beginning came the church of
Nicomi-dia, and then Abadazar and Boghchejok
Here in this secluded spot in the Isle ot Wight, sixty
years ago, commenced a spiritual conflict in the
heart of a poor and humble servant, the results of
which are now spreading over the mountains aud
valh-ys of Bithyma. Here dwelt and pleached and
prayed that man of God, whose tongue is silent in
death, and yet in how many languages does it now
publish salvation.
Dr. lla-ulin follows “the chain of second causes
one link further back. In 171)8 a vessej about to go
to sea was detained by a change of wind, and came
t.i anchor near this place. The Kev. A|r. Crabb, a
Wesleyan chaplain, “with characteristic zeal goes
on shore, gets up a meeting, and preacljes from the
text: ‘Be ye clothed with humility.’ It was the
message of God unto salvation to Elizabeth Wal
bridge, the ‘dairyman's daughter.’ The wind tills
the sails again, bears the chaplain away to India,
and mr many a year he knows not but he has labor
ed in vain.
“How wonderful and beautiful,” continues Dr.
ilatnliu, "is the providence ot God in tlhe works of
redeeming grace. What a fine illustration is this
history, of the true unity of the church, of the true
evangelical alliance wh ch God uses among his
people in accomplishing his purposes. A Wes
leyan, an Episcopalian, and a Congregationalist
are equally co-workers in it, and God blesses them
all alike.”
Translated fur the Evening Post from the Montreal
Pays.
A Jinn Courting his own Wife.
Ten years ago M. V. married in Montreal. He
was one ot the principal merchants of the eity ; but
by a reverse of fortuue be wus compelled to sus
pend payments soon alter hie marriHgif. He loved
his wile to distraction, to use a comhnon phrase;
and the idea of involving her in his disasters great
ly afflicted him. Alter a thousand inti real conflicts,
M. V. resolved to leave our city without saying
anything about it. He wished his departure, or rath
er, his disappearance, to remain a mystery. But he
had a purpose. “I will go,” he resolved, “to Aus
tralia, and there mend my fortunes, or die there
without giving any account of myself.”
Tnis resolution taken, our tradesman embarked
clandestinely, and eight days after his flight he was
not thought of. Madame V. wept, we are fain to
suppose , more than this, we will believe she shed
torrents of tears, and sought him upon rivers, and
in woods, lakes, and caverns, but in Vain. M. V.
had left to his beautiful, but weeping and forlorn
wife, an income of a hundred louia, anld sailed tor
Australia. What beteli him upon those favored
shores we do not well know ; but little fly little he
amassed wealth.
At Montreal they supposed him dead. Ilia wife
wept bitterly ; and she saw, undoubtedly, that sor
row jaundiced her complexion aud d'mmed her
eves ; therefore she ceased, all sweetly; her role of
Niobe. Our Penelope could smile like a young
widow of eighteen , the art of needlework is too
perfect now ; are not men entangled wiiti r ? She
was faithful to her wandering husband eighteen
long mouths ; but she then did what others might
have done in her place. Thinking herself young,
she lent her e»r to tender proposals. She reviewed
her geogi Hphy of love—Confessed to never having
studied the map of the tender country; and one
tine morniug contracted a new marriage But the
first husband ! lie ! all, he was dead. What lov
ing husband would stay away eighteen long months
without writing a word ! It lie was not dead he
ought to be, (feminine logic ) «he married. Was
she happy, or was she not ? (Shukspeftreau ques
tion )
Meantime, the first husband labored ih the mines.
He acquired, acquired—always acquired. Falling
upon an auriterous vein, he suddenly obtained a
large sum ; and had his only m itive been the love
of gain, would have immediately returned to Mon
treal. But his dear Louisa must eut only from sil
ver, and drink only from gold.
• Tile untaithful L >uisa, as we have already said,
was again married. Faith does not save us” M. V.
always laenred, but an ep-demic prevailed ; our
hero caught the small pox, and was completely dis
figured. Disgusted with Australia, he sold his pro
perty, and embarked on au American ship.
During this voyage the second husoand of his
w'rie died with the Consumption. M. V. landed at
Portland, flew to Montreal, went to the Montreal
House, without arousing any suspicion as to who
he was, There was people who always love to cre
ate surprise, and he wasoneof them. He inquired
for Madame V; no one knew such a person ; but
M V. insisted. Finally he was told by some oue
that she was now the Widow $. M.V. scratched his
head. They pointed out Its him Madame widow V ,
afterwards Madame widow 8., and he recognized
his wife, charming as when he left her. M V. im
mediately fell iuto a brown study. His countenance
was grave, sad, very sad, very gloomy ; and thus
he turned away. M. V. had more spirit than mo
ney ; and he found it very strange to pay his ad
dresses to his own wife. But he did it ; ,be courted
his own wife for three months. He recognized her ;
did she recognize him ? It is more than we know ■
we leave the dames who read this to solve the pro
blem. He was introduced with all his pounds, shil
lings and pence. People will admire pounds ster
ling, and dollars federal, aud women above all.
Though scarred and pitted from head to foot with
the sumll-pox, M. V. won the heart of his wife. They
were to exchange the second marriage rings when
M. V. presented to her the same oue he had, given
her at their first espousal. The woman, they say
fainted.
The Mvstf.ry of the EvERGLADEs.-j-Tbe long
peninsula which runs out iuto the Atlantic, forming
the southern part of Florida, has always been occu
pied by a singular succession of savannahs, ham
mocks, lagoons, swamps and forests nearly impreg
nable and quite uninhabitable, except asl the lurk
ing place of Seminoles. They extend into the heart
of the country, 200 miles north of Cape jSible, and
j collectively, are called “the Everglades.” During
the past wmter, a natural outlet has opened some
where, which is draining the Everglades dry. For
nearly two months, though no watey flowed out of
and of the known outlets, the Glades continued to
fall rapidly. The invisible vent must have discharg
ed a volume equal to the Mississippi river
A letter from a resident, dat d April 2i, says :
“The Everglades are extremely dry—literally
parceed up, which has not occurred befbre in the
twenty five years that I have lived in tips region,
and have hunted on them almost every season du
ring that time.”
Vessels passing the coast report that ihey have
seen brackish, discolored water at various points, as
if it was pouring out of the swamps. But the sto
ries are so vague and conflicting that it iis impossi
ble to determine whether a new River has formed
through some labyrinth of lagoous and islands, or
whether there is a cavernous, subterranean passage
to the depths of the Sea. One of the Coast Survey
vessels, at work in that quarter, sailed on an explor
ing cruise in search of it, In March, but a storm
arose which drove it back to port, and compelled
abandonment of the search. Florida has always
been noted for its mysterious streams. There a e
several Creeks aud Rivers of limpid water, in the
State, which sink into the earth and disappear.
Others rise suddenly out of the ground, one of
which (the Wakulla) is navigable from its very
source. The strange accounts of them whiich reach
ed Spain, in the early years of discovery, led
Prince de Leon thither in search of the “Fountain
of Youth.— Albany Evening Journal, April 23.
Another Hail Storm in Randolph.—The
Guthbert (Ga ) Reporter states that on{Wednesday
evening, the 6th inst., that place and vicinity was
visited by the heaviest storm of wind, rain and hail
ever witnessed by its citizens. The hail Slones va
ried in size from a quarter to one inch in diameter,
and the ground and house tops were completely
covered, presenting the appearance of snow CH
course the damage to the crops in its wake were
serious. Cotton being a very tender, timid plant,
cannot survive the pelting of hail stones, and must
be planted over. Verily, it does seem that provi
dence is determined to punish the spinners of cotton
by cutting off the supply. —Columbus tjun.

Ocletharpe Infantry Target Excursion.
The Oglethofpe Infantry, under Capt. Stearns,
H their annual target excursion yesterday. The
was favorable in every reepect, and everything
i off to the infinite satisfaction of all concerned.
The Company, Honorary members and invited
guests proceeded to the Augusta & Savannah De
pot at 8 o'clock, and iu about half an hour arrived
at Mcßeau, the place selected for the occasion.
'l'be shooting immediately commenced, and occu

sixty yards. , The result shows remarkab'y good
shooting.
After the shooting wa3 over and the prizes award
ed. all present sat down to a bountiful dinner, and
speeches, toasts, shouts of laughter, aud vociferous
applause were Ihe order of the afternoon. We have
scarcely time to particularize, as we could not no'
tice oue without noticing all. Capt. Stearns,
Lieut. Jackson, Messrs. Gardner, Weems, Hull,
W alkkk, Boggs, Kudler, Dortic, and a number
of others, made some happy hits. We speak confi
dently when we say that all present enjoyed them
selves heartily ,j and will no doubt welcome the oc
casion when it again arrives.
Mndame D’Angri’s Concert.
Our readers will not forget that Madame D’Anghi
gives her second and last Concert in this city to
morrow evening. She needs no eulogy from our
pen. The press has spoken loudly’aud favorably of
her powers wherever she has been, and many of our
citizens had an opportunity of hearing her a short
time since. The house was filled on that, occasion,
and ell who were present speak in the highest terms
of her great musical abilities. To-morrow evening
is her last Concert in Augusta.
The Southern Journal ok the Medical and
Physical Sciences.—The May number of this
valuable Medical monthly is promptly on the table,
and we cordially recommend it to the Profession as
every way worthy of their patronage. The present
number contains six original communications. It is

Each number contains eighty pages. Address the

Marine Bank Agency, Columbus. —The Macon
Citizen says : is reported that the Marine Bank
of SavanD&h has succeeded in effecting a settlement
of the affairs of the Columbus Agency, lately so
deranged; by receiving from the late Agent and
other indebted parties, property, real and personal,
to the nominal value of $200,000, and from which
they may realize $140,000, leaving a small balance
of from $200,000 to $300,000, to be placed to the ac
count of “profits and loss.” The lawyers are thus
chisseled out of some fat pickings, in the shape of
fees, and a "finis" put to much bad feeling among
commercial men, growing out of the difficulties
connected with the late Agent’s operations.
Louisiana Cuor Intelligence. —The editor of
the Doualdsonviile Jo • d, a few days since took
a trip down Bayou e, as far as Thibodaux.
The effect of the recent cold weather upon the crops
was clearly perceptible, but bethinks that the dam
age has been far less than was anticipated. With fa
vorable weather and skillful cultivation, he writes,
the sugar crop of '57, at least oil the bayou, will y-t
be sufficient to redeem in great measure the ills that
resulted from the short crops of '57.
The Concordia Intelligencer, Bth inet., records the
return of warmer weather, but says the chilled and
stinted stand of cotton on many of the principal plan,
tationa is fast disappearing under the ravages of the
cut-worm.
The Catahoula Independent , Cth inat., says :
Warm weather setting in gives a rapid start to
every species of vegetation. Both corn and cotton,
we are told, already begin to have a promising ap
pearance, and with favorable weather from this, the
planters will soon have their crops thoroughly under
way.
The New Iberia Star, 9th inst., says of the weath
er and crops:
Since our last issue we heave xptrience delight
ful weather, with copious lie vet. , which have
somewhat revived vegetation, winch was withering
from the effects of drought, ,a!l that almost con
tinual northers, which we w< re visited during the
months of March and April The -season is back
ward and the prospect for co lon is anything but
tlattering. The Corn is small, but after two or
three plantings, a tolerable stand has been secured.
The cane alone looks well, and gives promise of
much more than an average crop.
The Caddo Gazette is informed by planters that
they will be able to obtain pretty fair stands of
both corn and cotton. Some predict that 1857 will
be an abundant crop year.
The Iberville Gazette, 9th iust says The bayou
and river is still falling at this point. The health of
the town and parish is unusually good. The crops
are very backward. The planters are grumbling,
gardeners are more penurious with their greens
than ever. The late rains and warm weather it is
hoped will improve matters.
The West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter mentions
abundant rains in that region on Friday, which had
much improved th» appearance of vegetation.
They were accompanied by heavy winds j but no
damage had been done.
Weather—Crops—Health— Summer weather
is at length upon ns. The last few days have been
warm and pleasant. Crops are improving. Cotton
is about a month later than usual, and will require

American Meeting la I'pita.
Thomaston, May 12.
At a meeting of the American party of Cpaon *
county to-day at the Court'bouse, Thomas F.'Beth. j
el was called to the Chair, and Dr. John Thompson
appointed Secretary.
On motion of P. W. Alexander, a Committee of !
five was appointed by the Chairman to report mat
ter for the consideration of the meeting—viz :D.
W. Alexander, Thos. 8. Sbarman, A. 8. Brooks, Jor
dan Lyon, and Greene Ferguson. The committee,
after consultation reported the following declaration
of principle*:
The American party of Upson, animated by love
of country and a jealous regard for the rights of the
people, do adopt the following declaration of prin
ciples : . ,
1. So good a cause as the American cause, back
ed up by the unbought suffrages of forty five thous
and freemen, may be defeated but can never be con
quered : We, therefore earnestly recommend the
assembling of a State Convention on Wednesday,
the Bth day of July, and of a Convention for this
Congressional District, on Wednesday, the 15thof
July, to nominate suitable candidates to be suppor
ted by the American party at the approaching elec
tion.
2. We re affirm the programme of principles
adapted by the American Convention which met in
Macon the Bth of July, 1856, and especially do we
reiterate our condemnation of the present naturali
zation laws and alien suffrage, —those favorite in
struments by which modem abolitionism seeks to get
control of the sword and purse of the natioil.
3. The late decision of the Supremo Court of the
United States in the case of Dred Scott, is but h ju
dicial endoi sement by the highest legal tribunal in
the land, of the position heretofore held by the Ame
rican party of Georgia upon the slavery question.—
We, therefore, adopt aud incorporate it as a part of
our political creed. J
4. Opposition to those politicians and parties
who deceived the people in the last Presidential
canvass, by assuring them that Kansas, under
its organic territorial act would come into the
Union as a slave State, and who are now seeking
to prepare the public mind to receive it as a free
State.
5. Opposition to the construction of the Pacific
Railroad by the General Government.
6. Opposition to the system by which the Govern
ment disposes of the public domain, as corrupting
in its effects upon the new States, (as well as upon
Congress) and grossly unjuetto the old.
7. The distribution of the proceeds of the sales of
the public lands among all the States, rather than
their appropriation to outrageous railway schemes
lor the benefit of a few.
8. A hearty approval of the vote of one of our
Senators iu Congress, the Hon. Alfred Iverson, in
opposition to Alien Suffrage.
9. A change in the administration of the State
Railroad, by taking it out of the hands of the Gove
nor and if needs be by a sale of two-thirds of it to
private parties. In the latter event, the fund thus
raised could be disposed of in either of the three
following ways : tfie education of the children of
the State, the reduction of the taxes of the people,
or in affording aid in the construction of roads in
other portions of the State.
On motion, the resolutions weie adopted unani
mously and with applause.
The following getlemen were appointed a Commit
tee under the first resolution, to select suitable
delegates to represent the county in Convention —
viz: Wm. A. Cobb, Jordah Lyon, N. F. Walker,
James M. Barron, Washington Hartstield, Beni.
F. Tolbert, and A. G. Smith.
The Committee reported the names of the
following persons as delegatesto the State Conven
tion :
P. W. Alexander, Thos. F. Bethel, Thos. S Shar
man and A. G. Fambro.
To the Congressional District Convention—A. G.
White, Jordan Lyon, W. 1). Woodson, and James
W. Atwater.
On motion, the American papers throughout the
State were requested to publish these proceedings.
Whereupon the meeting adjourned.
Thos. F. Bethel, Chairman.
John Thompson, Secretary.
Bridging the East River. —F. F. Rink, a Ger
man architect, has prepared plans for the construc
tion of a bridge five thousand two hundred and
seventy-two feet in length, to extend from Bowling
Green, at the lower end ot Broadway, to Atlantic
street, in Brooklyn. The artist is ceitainly prolific
iu invention. The two abutments are designed for
purposes of defence, being pierced for a number of
large cannon, beneath which, in time of war vessels
can take refuge. As a further offset to the great
expenditure contemplated, to insure the desirability
of the investment, the termini of the bridge are
made the foundation for a custom-house, light
house, or other public buildings, besides affording
'space fora number of stores or dwellings. Further
more, the several piers planted on the bed of the
river are adapted to storage, where vessels may
discharge. We also notice a submarine passage to
Governor’s Island. The bridge is calculated to be
300 feet iu width, with a height of 170 feet above
high water.

General Summary ok News. —Our summary of
news for the last two weeks will be found even more
devoid of interest to the distant reader, than usual.
No political action or legislative movement, worthy
of note, has taken place during this time; we have
no example t f popular turn ult or excitement, scarce
ly a casualty of magnitude, or a startling crime to
record. This is a very unusual state of things, and
seems to indicate that San Francisco is becoming a
quiet, orderly sort of place, and life in California
much the same uniform and routine sort of existence
it is elsewhere. Except in the Southern portion of
the State, where they have suffered from want of
rain, the weather has been highly favorable to the
business of mining, as well as to the growth of the
incoming crop, which now promises to be extensive
and prolific beyond precedent. Iu regard to mining
operations, we have only to repeat what we have
befoie said, more gold will be taken out of our pla
cers during the four or five months ending with April
thairhas ever been gathered during the like period
before. Not only will a larger aggregate amount
be extracted, but we believe we may assert there
will be better wages realized to the hand, taking the
mining community as a whole, than ever before.

more stormy and the snow deeper than ever before
known ; yet it is said the ice has not been so thick
as during some former seasons. It is generally
thought the inhabitants will vote to adopt a State

of slavery. The press of the Territory is warmly i
engaged in the discussion of these aud kindred i
topics.

Journal of Commerce is informed that the British
| Government have refused to loan Lady Franklin
the bark Resolute, (recently presented to that gov
ernment by the Americans) to enable her to make

Cincinnati Morals. — A single paper of Cincin
nati, on Monday, chronicles the desertion of his fami
ly by a city official, in company with 'tie wife’s aunt;
the elopement of the wife of a real estate broker, the
elopement of a wife of a steamboat captain, and the
attempted suicide of another wife on accouut of de
sertion by her husbaud, and consequent destitution.
This is certainly a startling group of immoralities to
become public in a single day.
A Female Religious Duel.—The Correspon
dance Havas has the following account of a female
religious duel: „
“The Swiss Protestants are absorbed by a serio
comic topic. It is a feminine duel which has just
taken place, apropos to the unsolved question be
tween the disciplines of Luther and Calvin. Two
young women, teachers of berne, made fanatical by
their reading, and the individual interpretation
which it suggested, could not agree upon a point of
doctrine, and finally, agreed to resort to force to
settle the question. The place of meeting was the
most obscure part of a neighboring wood, the hour
fixed was two o’clock—seconds had procured the
steel weapons, for the duel was to be fought with
swords. After several lively thrusts, one of ihe
fair combatants received a severe wound in the
knee, and fell upon the grass fainting. The combat
ceased, but our two casuists in petQcoats have al
ready rallied a good number of adherents. It is a
new element of discord with the Bernese. It has
almost eclipsed the Neufchatel question.’’
