ladies will, however, have a refreshment table in
one of the eide looms of the Hall during Professor
Dlesberrv’s Soireo to-night, to wl ich attention is
invited.
Holiday Presents by Express. —The Adams’
Express Company have made ample arrangements
for the carriage and delivery of holiday present?
East, West, North and South.
When we penned our remark* yesterday, in
reference to the Southern Medical Students at the
North, we had no idea that we should eo soon have
the gratificatiou of laying before our readers the
following pleasing intelligence:
Philadelruia, Dec. 20.—The etudenta from
Southern Statte, attending the Medical Colleges in
this city, held a meeting to day, and reeolved to
ercede in a body trom these institutions and go to
Southern Colleges. The attendance was targe,
and the preoeeuiuge were coaducled throughout
with great decorum and propriety. There was no
exhibition of violent feeling. Jefferson College
lures 200 students, and the I’eunsylvat iaUniverstty
ltHt. they will proceed home*aid in a body to
morrow night, by a special train.
A large number go to the Richmond Medical Col
lege.
This is a move in the right direction, aud we
rejoice to sea that the students at tha Philadelphia
schools, where mill one of SoutLeru funds have
contributed to swell the coffers of those institutions,
havetiken the initiative in the matter. We hope
the work will go on, till not a son or daughter of
the South is to be found in a school in a free State.
J. li. Weems, btv —The Constitutionalist ot
Wednesday says:—“We are authorized to an
nounce that this gentleman peremptorily declines
to occupy the position of a candidate tor the oflice
of Judge of the Interior court, in which he has been
placed by the action of Lis triends. This announce
inent we were requested to make several days ago,
but withheld it with the hope that Mr. Weems
would reconsider hie determination, and consent to
give the county, upon her Inferior court bench,
the benefit of Ids legal knowledge aud strong prac
tical good sense. Hut be will not reconsider it, and
in obedience to his request, we announce that he is
not a candidate for the Inferior court bench.”
Books fob. the llclidats. —As almost every
body just cow is seeking something suitable fer a
Christmas or New Year's gift, it will be well to
remember that nothing can be more appropriate or
tasteful for a holiday present, in most cases, than a
good book. It is a compliment to the mental
cultivation aud appreciation of the donor and the
donee. No better assortment of books for gilts
can be desired to select from, than thatef Mr. Geo.
A. Oates whose advertised list of superb volumes
can be found elsewhere. His stock of Albume,
Portfolios, Fancy Articles, Ac., Ac., is also quite
extensive. Give him a call.
KtTTLEWEI.L'S AIa.MCUI.ATED GUANO. —It af
fords U 3 pleasure to call attention to the advertise
ment of “ Ketteweil’a Manipulated Guano, or Pe
ruvian and Phosphatic Guano,” in another column.
Messrs. D’Antignac &. Evans, Agents. The mac.
ufaciurers of this rnauure have in their possession

Mr. Kettlewell— Hear Sir.- It affords me
plesuute to give you the satisfactory result of a
trial of your admirable Fertilizer; I used, the sea
eon just past, one hundred pounds, with one suck
of Bait per acre, on cotton land that previously
could not produce over 3UO lbs. of seed oolton per
acre The result of your guano, with the ealt, was
TOO ILe 1 estimate that the cost of the guano and
salt will be covered by 130 pounds of seed cotton,
which would leave a nett gain by the increased
production of 2tio pounds per acre. I Lave not
g.vtn your guano a trial singly, but Lave no doubt
that It would alone —100 pwuuds to the acre—in
crease the production of ordinary cotton lands ICO
percent; and do not hesitate to recommend it to
cur Southern plauteis generally.

Tin Union Meeting in New York —Our New
York exchangee of Tuetday morning contain vdu
.ninoua accounts of tie greet Union meeting at the
Academy of Music in that city on Monday night.
The attendance wbs cufrertue ae might Lave been
expected, the Had being crowded and eeveral
stands tor rpcakeie beirg erected outside. Ti e
resolutions, which were of course all prepared be
fore the meeting commenced, were adopted by
acclamation. I hey amount to nothing in the way
of a* t;on, belrg contined to the expression of con
servative tent rneiits which the South has a light to
expect, and betrayirg an evident fear of the dis
turbance of commercial relations. Mayor Tieman
was appointed Chairman.
Among thespetkers we find the names of Chas.
O’Conner, Mayor Tieman, Washington Hunt,
James 8. Thayer, John A. Dix, Prof. Mitchell,
end others. Letters were read from Can. Scott,
ex-Presidents Fillmore, Van Buren and Pierce,
and other distinguished citizens. We have not yet
Lad an opportunity of reading any of the epeechea
or letters, and cannot speak as to their tone and
centiment.
General Scott was not firmalJy nominated for
the Presidency, but was nominated by acclamation
by ona or two of the outside meetings.
Public Mfet.ng in Effingham.— A meeting of
citizens of Effingham .county was held at Spring
field on Saturday, the 17th instant. After organiz
ing, and amicable discussion upon the objects cf the
meeting, “it was resolved that a committee of six,
inclusive of the presiding cfliser, be appointed by
the chair; said committee to select two principal
committees of citizen vigilant?, one in each of the
villages of Springfield and Whitesvilie; aud four
eub-committees, one in each militia district—the
latter to be subject to the action of the principal
committees and report, to the same. The deepest
interest in the object of the meeting, as well as an
anxious solicitude that the whole South should be
vigilant, was evinced by the citizens generally.—
Tie erdire proceedings, however, were characteriz
ed by a law-abiding sentiment, and an avowed
disposition to exercise due and becoming discre
tion and avoid all unnatural excitement.''
Snow Storm.— This vicinity was visited yester
day by a severe etorm, snow tailing to the depth of
four or five inc hes, accompanied by a real “north
wester,” whistling round the corners aud through
the alleys, carrying suffering to many oold and
cheer lets habitations.— Alt mphis Enquirer , 20/A

Tire Speakership—Democratic Trickery.
The Macon Citizen contains the following extract
of a letter from the Hon. Thus. Hardeman, Jr,,
Representative from the ; fd Centres, ionai District
of Georgia, which cannot fail to interest and in'
struct all classes of readers. It portrays the Demo
cracy in their true character, of seeking to make
political capital out of the non-election of Speaker,
and ready to sacrifice the interests of the country
at the shrine of party. Let it be read aud re read
by men of all classes and parties :
“We cannot (and it is daily and hourly admitted
here,) elect Bocock, could wo give him every vote
They (the Democrats) can only control for their
candidate 90 votes. Add to that our whole vote,
20, aud you Bee we only have then 113 votes, not
enough to elect ; and it has been definitely settled
here, that the moment we go to them, the Auti-
Lecompton Democrats, who have been throw ing
their votes away, will, in order to prevent the
election ol an Administration Democrat, vote for
Sherman. They have said this on the floor, again
and again. Y'ou see by the paper I sent you to
day the.t Ethridge, of Tennessee, made a distinct
proposition that we would go for Bocock, whenever
they could get enough votes, with ours, to elect
him, provided they would agree to come to one of
our party, weeuever we w'ould swell his vote, so
that, with them, he could be elected. But this fair
proposition is indignantly rejected, because w’e are
not recognized as a party. Th y surely should
control their own party, before we are called on to
abandon ours, to save their sicking fortunes. The
tiuth is, every move made by them has been, not
as would be inferred, at the Republicans, but
at the Southern Oppositionists. They wish, by
threats, to drive us iuto the Democratic ranks, aud
after we have voted for their uiau, use it that we
have disorganized our owu party.
Every Democrat here admits that our votes will
avail them nothing, unless they can got some of
their own men who are voting against them, and
they have no hojteci this, and » o admit. Still, they
and their papers charge upon us a delay of the ot
gauizatiou. I thick au American from the South
or Sbeiinan will be elected. I would not be sur
pused to tee Mr. Boteler.of Virginia, settled upon
as a compromise man Briggs, of New Yotk, is as
true as steel. He is an eminently conservative
man, and will vote for us to the bitter end.
You now nave a little insight into the manage
mint of Democratic affairs here. The first day of
the session they began an intlamina'ory debate
upou the slavery queetiou, intended alone for home
consumption, and they aie still consuming time,
speaking to empty benches. I have heard the
speakers denounce Sherman as unfit to live and as
unfit to die, aud have seen them, at the conclusion
of their remarks, arm Sherman sed walk oft’ in
social glee ! So much tor their sincerity and honest
indignation.
I tell you the politicians of the Democratic party
are making Black Republicans every day, by
menaces and threats, aud the South will yet learn
that their Representatives, by imprudence, have
added fuel to the iliu.es. The moment you say you
are no Democrat, you are denounced as an enemy
1 to Southern Rights, and ruled out of Southern
organizations. But enough. I write in beste.
Yours, Ac , T. Hardeman, Jr.”

The llruf nad Dumb A m> lnn?, Ar., &<-.
Mr. Editor: —Yielding my own to the judg
ment of ot ea, I 1 ave postponed till *t his t ine all
reply to Pio 1 ". 8. F. Dun'sp and bis frieid*. This
dt lay has subjected me, perhaps, to invidious re
mark, but for that I care nothing. My only regret
is that 1 did not immediately make the amende, as
regrids the cruel whipping at the Deaf end Dumb
Asylum.
It was thought vcry desirable to have this Ah, --
lutn removed from Gave Spring, and to have it
thoroughly re organized. Ard to prevent excite
ment and ill-feeling and prejudice on tbesubjscf,
previous to Legislative action, was the erle reason
for my delay in replying to Dunlap and others—
though I wrote privately to the editor of this paper
making a similar statemsnt to that which I
now make, leaving it at his discretion to do as he
thought best under the ciieumatancee.
I wish to say now, and I say it very cheerfully,
that I was in error, aud it was solely my own error,
in charging the cruel whipping to have occurred
during the administration of Mr. Dunlap. It
occurred in the Spring of 1858, curing tie time
that Mr. Fannin was principal teacher, and was
done by the Steward, McDanetl, over whom Mr.
Fannin had no control, and it was done with a
covkide four feet long, as is in evidence, and iu
the presence of two of the Ci mmissioners.
McDaniel tendered his resignation as Steward in
May, 1858, and the Com miss'on era willingly re
ceived It, tipoateo a portion of them at ieeiot, wojo
opposed to McDaniel’s cruel and inhuman rranage
ment. Sabstquemly Mu Daniel desired to with
draw his resignation, but the Commissioneis would
notallow him. So one may seetiat he resigned,
but it was compaleciy.
In his report of July, 1858, Mr. Fannin took oc
caeion to speak in appropriate terms o! the manage
ment of McDaniel, and for this reason ostensibly at
least, the same Commissioners who refused to let
McDaniel withdraw bis resignation, removed Fan
nin from office, though he was not informed of the
fact till September, and Dunlap was put in hie
place.
No blame attaches to Dunlap for the cruel whip
ping, nor perhaps for anything concerning the
management of the iiutitution. But I here re assert
that Dunlap is an Abolitionist— ihat he has repeat
edly, since he has been at Cave Spring, spoken his
strong anti-slavery sentiments, and 1 pledge myself
to produce the proof whenever he or any of hi*
friends demand it. His assertion to the contrary
of course amounts to nothing—neither doeu the a*'
sertion of any friend of his, for the simple reason
that perhaps a hundred thou.-ar.dor more people iu
Georgia can be produced who never heard him
utter anti-slavery sentiments, ar.d still their evi
deuce would not weigh a feather iu a court of jus
tice, against the pout tee testimony of a dozen or
more who A are heard him express such sentiments.
I am now done with Mr Dunlap, but there are
Others to whom I with to pey rr.y parting respec'a.
A note was addressed to tue Editor of the Chroni
cle, under date of Nov 20th, from Cave Spring,
purporting to be from Geo. It. Sanford and John
H. Rus-ell, in which these men state “as re are
Implicated t y the appointment of Lie Excellency to
fill vacances we respectfully demand the author” of
‘‘an article written signiug hie name B.” I choose
to give these persons the full benefit of the gram
mar, their orthography, and their implications If
they are implicated by the appointment of Gov.
Brown, it is none of my business. As the Editor
was absent when this note reached the office, it
was forwarded to me at Mllledgevilie, 1 carefully
preserved it as a memento, and desired the office
to inform those persons that my name could be
obtained by complying with the usual rules. I
knew that they or their managers knew my name,
becauee it 8 ■ happened tnat 1 saw a letter written
by a gentlemen of Augusta to Mr. Dunlap, excusing
me by name of any intentional misrepresentation ,
for which I thank that gentleman, though I am not
peiaon&lly acquainted with him, nor do I cvenjknow
him by sight.
As luck would have it, the gentleman at the
office whom I requested to answer Sanford and
Russell, having forgotteu their names,fad reseed
bis reply to the pioper persons, King and Webster,
and nothing more has been heard lrom the unboiy
crew. I have good reason to believe that I Vebster
wrote the letter, purporting to be signed San fold
and Russell. If that be true, at.d it Sanford and
Russell were aware of the fact, then they have
proved thtmselves to be not only the tools of
Brown, at which a sertion of mine it seems they
were aggreiveu, hut the tools of a tool of apetfy
tyraDt—the present Executive of Georgia Ido
not know positively, but my impression is very
strong that Shropshire, Webster and King inetiga
ted the onslaught on me, being very careful to
keep their own necks out of the halter
now as to the Deaf and Dumb Asylum.
It is a disgrace, instead of an honor, to the .State.
A parcel of unworthy men in Floyd county manage
it to suit their own purposes, and get the State’s
appropriation. The Mutesare badly clothed, badly
fed, aud many of them covered with vermin and
puliifying gores, and I will produce the evidence if
the fact is authoritatively denied at d the proof de
manded. A bill was introduced at the session just
closed to remove the Institution from Cave Spring,
which ought to have passed, but I believe wa i not
acted on. Another bill wa? introduced and passed,
designed to take the management out of the hands
of that Fioyd clique, and providing for the election
of Principal by the Legislature, but our model
Governor refused to return it with his signature
before the adjournment, thus preventiry the elec
tion and keeping in office Mr Dunlap—ati to gratify
the Governor’s unchristian malignity against 0. P.
Fannin, a man as far above him in all that really
constitutes a man, as Uyperion above Satyr.
Respectfully,
Your Milledgeville Correspondent.

Another Old Citizen Gone.— Thomas Swift,
SeD., died suddenly at his residence ir. this county,
about 1 o'clock t. M., yesterday. He was about
73 years old, and has been a citizen of this Cuunty

CONGRESS— FlrstSe»s!cr.
IN SENATE December 17.
The Vice-President being absent, Mr. Bright
moved that Mr. Fitzpatriok be appointed Presi
dent of the Senate pro tempore .
Mr. Foot said the more recent practice of the
Senate had been to proceed to ballot.
The Senate then ballotted and Mr. Fitzpatriok
was elected, receiving 33 voteß.
Mr. Pugh called up his resolution submitted last
Thursday.
Mr. Hale said it was not in order to proceed to
Legislative business prior to the organization of
the House.
Mr. Pugh stated that he desired to reply to the
remarks of Mr. Iverson the other day, and he cared
not whether he spoke on the resolution or on a point
of order. He desired to defend the Northern De
mocracy from the charge of unsoundness, which
did not come with a good grace from those in the
South who had not done so much for the party as
Northerners. He epoke of the difficulty in the
North of battling against sectionalism and defend
ing the rights of the South; and lie said they never
elected a Senator in Georgia to be judge of the
soundness of the Democracy.
H» repudiated lhe sentiment that the position cf
Mr. Dongla3 on Territorial rights was akin to the
Wilinot Proviso, or snti-Demoeratic reading from
a speech in the Congressional Globe, showing that
Mr. Cass sustained tho same position.
Mr. P. quoted from a speech delivered in the
House of Representatives eleven years ago by Mr.
Iverson himself, which was strong in support of
non-intervention views as Gen. Cass’ famous
Nicholson letter, or Judge Douglas’ Freeport
speech. He also referred to instructions sent by
the Georgia Legislature to her Senators when the
Kansas-NeO!eska bill was up, in favor of non-in
tervention, and said he stood on tho Georgia plat
form. He prooeeded to reply to the remark of
Mr. Gwiu, that had he understood the Kansas bill
when he voted for it ea expounded by Judge Doug
las, he would never have given that vote, and said
that Mr. Gwin did not vote of his own notion, but
was instructed by the California Legislature to give
that, vote, and that Legislature wrote down for him
iu that instruction what he thought the Kansas
Nebraska bill meant.
Mr. Gwin —1 voted before the instructions got
here.
Mr. Pugh—l do not suppose the Senator pre
tends that he is a better exponent of the vitws of
his State than the Legislature is. He then read the
“ Squatter Sovereignty" platform of California, re
marking that this odious epithet, which has been
used to frighten people from their propriety, was
invented lor the benefit of California,and was lirst
applied to her in the formation of her State Consti
tution. He did not see any sa'.e ground on which
the advocate of tho Leoomptou Constitution could
stand for one moment, if tne doctrine announced
by the Senator from Georgia was to be the doc
trine of the Democratic party.
Mr. P. then read from the Democratic platform
adopted in California since the last session of Con
gress, and said it was almost literally copied from
the Ohio platform, which was drawn up by Mr. P.
himsell. He stated what he understood the Kau-
saa Nebraska bill to mean, adopting for that pur
puse the language of the President, who signed the
bill, giving his own interpretation o! it, ae tound in
his message of Jauuary'd 1,1 He also quoted
the resolutions adopted by the Florida Legislature
in December, 1817, in support of his position, etat
ing that his object whs to show that au attempt is
now made, contrary to opinions formerly entertain
ed by Legislatures of Southern States, to break
through the print pies of the eompiotnise of 1850,
and break through the covenant of the Kansas bill,
and on that text to preach sermons on the sound
ness cr unaeundnesa of the Democracy of the
Northern States. Ho proceeded to allude to a
speech of Mr. Gwin, delivered in Grass Valley,
California, in which it was elated that Mr. Douglas
was deposed from the chairmanship of the Com
mittee on Territories, on account of his views ou
the Kansas Nebraska bill, lie would not stand up
here to defeat the Senator from Illinois, who was
abundantly able to ap e.ik for himself; but if he was
expelled from that podlion for that cause, they
would thereby expel t)9-l(J0tb8 of the Democracy
in every non-slaveholding State.
This was no longer a question of individuals, but
of principle, arul instead of assaulting a man in his
absence it wonid be m.-re manly to do as the Sena
tor from Georgia has done, and arraign the entire
party. He never s,w anything in the Lscompton
case that ought to divide parties, or make it neces
sary to make any changes in committees, lie
thought, however, that Judge Douglas was not
removed for that. After he made his speech in
the Senate denouncing the Lecompton Constitution,
and taking issue with almost ti e entire body of
Democratic Senators, North and South, and after
he had tektn Drue wih the Administration, the
Senate proceeded to put him again at the head of
the Committee on Ten it- ties, aud he stayed there
till the Lecorrpbn oon* roversy was dead, and
buried. He wanted to knew whether Democratic
Senators from the Northern Stats s recognised this
as a test, of Democratic fellowship !
Mr. ltice said he was a party to the act of re
moving Judge Douglas from the Territorial Com
mittee
Mr. Pugh won* oa to t’.- lar- that the Senatorial
uenge in regard to appointing committees was in
to eiably bad, and had operated to give Senators
from slaveholding States the chair of every single
commit ee controlling the public business in this
body. The Senator from Illinois was the only
exception, and he had been decapitated.
Mr. Iverson said he would reply to these rem arks
on some future occasion.
A long cohoquy took place between Messrs
Gwin, Davis, Lane and lirown, who expressed
their views in reirard to the power of Congress to
exclude or establish slavery in the Territories.—
After they bad contended (he Senate adjourned;
HOUSE.
Mr. Gilmer caused to beread & newspaper article
commenting on an extract from the Boston Tract
Journal, associating his nntne < fl'nuvely with
Helper’s book, ar.d saying among other
that the South should look about to see whether or
not there were traitors on her own soil. He said
so lar as this arlicle applied to him. it was an infa
mous and malicious fabrication and falsehood from
beginning to end. If he has ever received Helper's
book, as charged, it must have been through tue
mail, but he had no knowledge that the book ever
came into bis possession. Certainly he never read
a solitary word of it. Ever since he had refused to
act with the Democrats on the L?compton Consti
tution, which he believed to be an infamous fraud
and swindle, he had been pursued with the ferocity
of a tiger and the malignity of a devil He repeated
that the whole public,anon as far as it wai Intended
to aflect him, is a lie from beginning to end.
Mr. Htngleton, of Mississippi, replying to Mr.
Hickman, emphatically denied the latter’s charge
tha' the South bad violated a 1 compacts and com
promises. Where and when, he asked, had the
South demanded anything more than she was en
titled to under the Constitution ? Whenever ag
greesions were made they were by the stronger on
the weaker section, and the South was obliged so
taae her present stand with a view to preserve
fraternal relations. He said that any man who had
signed a reeomm-edatba of Helper’s Book for cir
culation, with a knowledge of its contents, was
guilty of a moral treason, aud ought to be dealt
with accord 1 ugly; and any man who’ signed it with,
a know ledge of the contents of the book, was unfit
to bo Speaker of the House.
Mr. Custis, of lowa, during the debate, in reply
to a question, e&id that the Republicans are opposed
to the extension of slavery, aud would, by Congres
sional action, endeavor to preveut i!« extension.—
But they d;d not propose to circumvent slavery iu
the South by any system of policy. It waa not his
purpose, directly or indirectly, to injure the pt-oole
at the South holding slaves.
Mr. Singleton, replying, eaid that waa intended
to lull the suspicion ot the South, so as to make
further aggressions upon it, which was to be bound
hand and foot, and delivered over to the tormentor.
He understood Mr. Curtis’ remark to be this: that
the South is never to have another foot of slave
territory. To which Mr. Curtis replied, That is the
idea.
Mr. Singleton said, If you thus act you will dis
rupt every tie which binds us together. We will
have expansion for slavery in the Union, or if we
must outside of.it. If you want to know my advice
to Mississippi, it is j the sooner we get out of the
Union the better.
lie reviewed the doctrine of squatter soverignty
saying that it Dougias should be nominated by the
Charleston Convention he would not vote for him—
never.
Mr Logan replied that he was from Illinois,
which claimed to be Democratic, and aa a friend
of Douglei, be would vote for the nominee of that
Convention, whoever he might be, with a view of
putting down the Republican party. (Applause 1
Mr. Singleton said that the South could expand
to Mexico. That country was now in a state of
disruption without a government, and the South
had a right to administer the estate. Whenever
it eha.il be undertaken to place a Black Republican
like Seward or Hale, to preside over the destinies
of the South, then you may expect to see an undi
vided irout in the South, and all pai ties unitiog to
resist aggression The only way to preserve the
Union is to re-open tho-territories to the South, to
execute the Fugitive Slave Law, permit slave
States to come into the Union when formed, and
give the South assurances of protection in all its
constitutional rights. In conclusion, he argued
that a State hsa the right to peaceably go out of the
Uuion, and that it was for her to judge of the mode
and manner of redress.
The House was then called preliminary to a vote
for Speaker.
Three votes were had for the election of a Speak
er. After the first Mr. Bocock withdrew his name
as a candidate. He said he had permitted the use
of his name ae a point round which the conservative
and sounder portion of the House might raliy.
But that hope had become more aud more dim and
was now completely gone. He thanked bis friends
for the honor conferred by voting for him.
The lastvote stood as follows:

And what is very singular connected with this
large increase in the use of manures, out of the
3.854,850 pounds carried over the road, there were
2'.856 590 pounds of it lelt at the various depots
between Savannah and Macon, thin showing that
the most of it has been used on lands, the crops of
which, always come to ISavaunah. The success
w hich has attended the application of these stimu
lants to the earrh will, we learn, warrant an in
creasing outlay for them every year.
In November there was 96,1266 bales cotton passed
over the road—2o,ooo bales more than ever passed
over it before, in any single month.
The only injury to life or limb, was the killing of a
fireman by falling from his engine, and apassenger
bad his foot cut off whilst passing from one car to
another in the night, making a misstep, caused the
accident.
Two Locomotives have been built during the
year, a small one named the “Courier" cost $3,188
31, and a first class freight engine called “Emerson
Foote” coat $11,311 21. A third, of the same class
as the latter, has been oommenoed, and will be
called the “Thomas Purse” in compliment to the
old Superintendent and present Director. It is also
recommended to purchase two additional ones to
meet the constantly increasing traffic of the road
with dispatch. It is suggested that tßn fruit cars
be built as the increase in the quantity of fruit
transported is making it an object worthy of con
sideration.—Savk. Rtp
No Trade with the North.—-A lady writes a
letter on this subject to the Richmond Whig, and
uses the following language :
“ Some persona propose that we have linscy
woolsey of Virginia cloth made at the Virginia
Penitentiary, and wear it. This is an extreme
measure, which will not succeed, but will verify
the prediction made by both ladies and gentlemen
that the projected movement in tavor of Southern
manufactures aDd importations wifi probably die
away in three months, and the co operation ot the
ladies certainly will. This linsey woolsey would
certainly verify this prediction, because, though we
might be proud of our coarse dresses for one or
two weeks, yet after the novelty passed away, we
would tire of them, and turn to cashmeres, silks
and velvets more eagerly than before. Let us
wear what we have and what we purchase from
the stock now on hand carefully ; if these should be
worn out before the merchants import, let us pur
chase the neatest article which is made in Virginia
or the Southern States, for the whole South should
unite in this matter, have it made neatly, and wear
it thankfully."
Attempt to Break Jail.— Some weeks since
three pri-onere, in Clark county j- il, attempted to
escape by setting fire to tLe jail room iu which they
were confined The fire was discovered however
in time to resene and retain them prisoners. They
were then sent to tho jail in this place for safe
keeping. Tueir number was augmented on the
Joth inst, by the addition of one D. Palmer, from
the North west, who robbed the post office ia
Alliens, on the niglirof the 9th, and to conceal the
burglary attempted to tire the office.
On the night of the 13th, soon after dirk, these
prisoners made an effort to escape, which would
have been affeett ’ but fur the timely discovery of
Mr. Henry Booth, who parsed the jail returning
from supper to his father’s store, just as the prison
ers were breaking down the outer door cl the
prison. The alarm was promptly given and escape
prevented.
There is some mystery connected with this affair.
Two of the prisoners, from some suspicion, had
been placed in strong irons ; these were cut off by
instruments which conld not be found, and by
means of a large bar of iron, torn wi.b great force
from a window, the inner doors was shattered and
broken open , the outer door was then shattered
and almost broken down when the discovery was
made.
Three of the prisoners are now in chains, but
j'almer tells our efficient jailor that he intends to
escape if he can, and as the tools for catting iron
have not been found other attempts will doubtless
be made. I'almer is charged by the other prisoners
with being an abolitionist of the Harper’s Ferry
order.— Madison Visitor , 21s^.
A Pastor's Rebuke— The sewing circle con.
netted with one of the churches in a neighboring
city met lately, and there was the usual full atten
dance. Conti ary to his custom, the pastor was not
present, and in the evening he was tent for. En
tering the room, he looked round upon the large
company, and with a good n&tured smile addressed
his parishioneis as so lows : “ I did not come out
to night, my friends, until sent for, because I did
not suppose there would be any meeting. I am
truly amazed to find so goodly a number assembled
despite the severe sto m. Last Sunday, when the
weather was not one quarter part so bad a3 now,
but very few of you were at church. I suppose I
must attribute your presence to night, however, to
the interest you take in the approaching fair.
Doubtless the offenders will do penance on the next
itorrny Sunday by attending church all day,”
[Botion Transcript.
A little sally of wit iu regard to Mr. Choate by
Oliver Wendell Holmes, the author of the ‘‘Break
fast Table,” is worth preserving. When Choate
was obliged to disappoint Dartmouth College in
not delivering a promised Commencement address,
the little Autocrat was sent as a substitute. Going
up in the oars, some one ssked. "Who is to fill Mr.
Choate’s place to morrow?” The lively little
Doctor jumped up, and coming forward said,
‘‘Nobody’s going to fill his place, i'in going to
rattle round in it a little while.”
Fkf.i.inos ok Southern Merchants.—- The Bos
ton Commercial Bulletin says:—Wo have con
versed with some of our largest and most reliable
merchants, who inform os that the real state of
feeling among the considerate men at the South is
hardly realized here. Letters are constantly being
received, containing remittances, and requesting
accounts closed. In some instances, large buyers
declined giving their notes for goods, fearing the
worst from the excited state of mind in which the
South generally participates. When Southern
merchants, who really give opinions on such mat
ter-, and still more rarely feel influenced by them,
make these considerate statements, it is time that
our merchants should act, not talk. We believe
the great mercantile interest of the North out
weighs and outnumbers hII other interests, and if
they did not; prevent the storm, they have moral
strength sufficient to guide it.
Suakspeark AND Insanity.—l>r. Brigham, tue
late eminent phyeieian to the insane, said that
Shakspeare was, in himself, as great a psychologi
cal curiosity as any case of insanity he had ever
met; and he declared that in the asylum at Utica
he had seen all of Shakspeare’s insane characters.
“We confess almost with shame,” he says, “that
although near two centuries and a half have passed
since Hhakspeare wrote King Lear, we have very
little to add to his method of treating the insane as
there pointed out. ’
