Now for the Uiiniatcr s promise. “Come,” eaid Sharp, with one or two others whose bitty farms were suffering, ; “we remember your promise.’’— “CertaugHF&uswcTwd the miniettr, “oall a meet- was cailtd. “Now, my friends, 1 ’ - what is it you want V’ “Rain, rain,” shouted halt a dtsen voices. “Very weil; when will you Lava it T 1 ’ I “This very night, ali n ght long,” oaid Sharp, to which several assented “No, no; not to-night,” cried Mr. Smith, “I’ve six or seven tons well made hay out; 1 wvtuld not have it wet for aDV thing ” | “So have I,” adcied Mr Peck, “no rain to night.” “W ill you take it to morrow ?” asked the minis ter.

' e South. He spoke of the infamous charaoter of Helper s bock, but said the non slave holders of the South have no sympathy with such k' e appeals to them will be unheed !’ ■®t> that infamous book had been endorsed by the ca; didate of the Republicans for the Speak ership; and the whole antecedents of that gentle man are in perfect keeping with this act. He ha.i been uniformly, conspicuously and iuten tenseiy sectional. N 0 man has been more intolerant to the South; aid he owts his present nomination less to lus ability or h a accomplishments as a states xn*Q than to bis hostility to the South. He invited us to eciutinize bis record, aud he had done so. He alluded to Mr. Sherman’s cource or. the Kansas bill and the Army app.opriatiou bill in the thirty fourth Congreia. He spoke of the objects of the .republican party, characterizing them as treason able. Mr. Duuuoal'td Li nto order, as the gentleman violated propriety by usiig tha term treasonable. He said if the epithet applied to any it was to the oth*r sde if the House. Mr. Rust resumed, and reuewed the preposition that the conservative merabets select a candidate for Speaktr 1.021 the Democrats, or the Democrats select a candidate from them, aud both unite on such candidate. Mr. Cox said he would not bs negotiable in any such business. Air. ILmdmau stated that neither would he be thus Iratisi aired by his ieliow Democrats. If any person outside the Democratic party ehould be so- ! l-ioted he would exeriise his own judgment, wheth er he would enpp.r him or not. Mr. Noell dsclared his reaoiuess to vote for any one selected from the other Bids, for the sake of an organization. Mr. Cox said he would vote f r any anti-Le con p.onbe who might be sdected, but his duty to hid eonatituente, hod his own sentiments, would not permit him to vote for any one of the Southern j Americans, who were lo; only eppased to all the doctrines ot the Democratic parly, but to civil and religious liberty. Mr. Hill eaid they could get along without the gentleman. You will not make a Speaker on the basis of the proposition offered, because this is not the time ana place to arrange matters. It cannot be done here. You must do it by other meat a and appliances, to induce the gentlemau from Ohio to support such nominee. Mr. Cox explained. [He understood the Southern Opposition t-o advocate the intervention by Con greta to establish e avery, aud the Republican party as ola'mir-g exeroite cf Congressional power topro hibit Biavery in the Territoii9s. Bath of these par ties favor the rc-opening of the agitation question iu Congress, while the Democratic party say to both—“Aon intervention.” j Mr. Hill inquired whether he thought, from the ek-ction of 185 ti and the recent election ia New York, tlmse parties are Identical in purpose and principle. 1 Mr. Cox replied if the gentleman referred to the North Americans, he would find them as adverse as the Southern Opposition to the Democratic par ty. If this were not so, why did not the gentleman vote for some North American tor Speaker? Mr. Hill replied he did—he voted for Briggs, of New York. Mr. Briggs said that his party was in a prouliar position. It was here, as at the North, a unit. In reply to Mr. Cox, he denied that the Americans were opposed to civil aud religious liberty. They are for strict fidelity to Jthe Cos. stitutton aud to all laws, aid stand ready and compactly to oppose all teotionalism. They aro for the Union, and nothing ’ but the U< ion. Mr. Ilill said that many of the Democrats with w. cm the gentleman from Ohio was proud to sit, inaugurated this dtetrine. Alexander 11. Stephens const icaous iu hie party, inaugurated it, and he did not know that that gentleman had svor recaut ed. Mr. Hi'i thought that it is the duty of the gov ernment to protect everything which is regarded as property belonging to the pocple of the United Slates. Mr. Morris, of Illinois, then took the floor. He fired a few hot shot into the Administration and the President. He relerred to that part of the message on the eutjsct of slavery in the territories, saying the President had advanced several steps from his former position, which was bad enough. He argued iu defence of his position. The people of the Ter ritories have the right to determine the qms'ion for themselves. Quite an interesting running debate took place. Various gentlemen stated why they would vote or not vote for Mr. Mayuard, ot Tennessee, who was put in nomination by Mr Brabson, wl o said that although he was a Fillmore eleclor and Old Whig, wea not inside the American organization. House then proceeded to take another vote tor Speaker. Whole numbei of votes cast 209; ne cessary to a choice 105. Mr. Sherman received 101; and Mr. Maynard, 65, made up of ail the members of the American party except Mr. Davis of Maryland, and Mr. Briggs, who voted for Gilmer. Au o.g the 43 scattering votes were Messrs. Kunkie, Stewart and Hughes. The House then adjourned. A Bite. In the Knickerbocker for January, among the good things in the “Editor's Table,” we find the followii g dro'l anecdote: * * * * “While it was a laughable, a very laughable, it wa3 aso a very melancholy sight; for ad:unken mania a melancholy object to behold aud to contemplate, anywhere, and under any cir cumstances. But tne particular case to which we have reference was a ‘hard case,’ in all respects. In a spar and ship-limber yard, on the border of West street, far down toward the B ittery, on a pleasant October afternoon, ‘we saw a man,’ or something beatiug the image of a man, exceed ug ly tipsyous, lying on the ground, amidst scattered chips and ebavings, in the yard. Some boys stood hard by, jeeiirg and plaguing him. ‘Upon remon strance,’ one of them said ti at he bad ‘throwd a stone at Jimmy Gaboon, ‘cause he tickled his ear with a Bbaviu’ when ho was asleep.’ This was no eicuse ; and we told the boys so ; ‘but somehow or ’nother,’ like the Americans at B adensburgb, ‘they didn’t seem to take no interest. Meanwhile, the poor inebriate, had raised himself partly up, resting on on aide, and said : ‘Why can’t they let me be s Wish to-Godl wan hn Injun —that’s all / hope !’ Two tquawe, wiih two moccasins and other wampum bead work, had been dawdling along by, a moment before, which probally suggested the thought that was permeating hie half-addled brain, lie linaiiy stood upon his feet; but his knees were not like the firm oak ship's knees which were piled up around him; the ‘feeble knees’ failed him, and dowu he went. He stretched out an arm, laid his hi ad upon it, and was presently in the‘land of dreams.’ All this while, however, the mischievous were watching him, while we were watching them through a crevice iu the board fence which surrounded the yard. At length he was fast and sound asleep. His yawning shoes disclosed all hie toes on each foot; ‘and ai we gazed we raw* one of the little rascals making a eiip-nuose, with a 8-ioDg twine, arouni one of his big tots, which protruded fiom the clanc-shell opening of Lis old sloe, that looked, more than anything else, like the head oi a great black snake. To the other end of tte twine, which had a ‘loDg purchase,’ they tied securely the ragged half of a large brick. They then carefully removed, from a wide space around him, every other possible thing which he might get hold of to throw at them ; but this missile they plaoed, as the Irish have it. ‘convenient’ to his hand. Then all the laughing boys retired to a safe distance save one, he remained to tickle the sleeper’s ear and noße with a thin pine splinter, to arouse him from his slumber. Presently the wretched inebriate awoke ; and seeing his tormen tor beating a retreat, at the same time laughing ‘ready to spot’ his young sides, he seized the decoy missile and burled it after him. It was cruel! The skiing came up‘with around turn,’which almost tore the poor fellow’s toe off. He roared with the self inflicted pa.D, aud straightway staggered thence. ‘“Have you seen him about here since 7 we asked the proprietor of the spar-yard, some si* weeks afteiward. “Ho is a man of few words; he said,‘l guess not r ” - x j ASh 6CK-n Affair —A most frightful oceur ! renoe took place in the town of Bloomer, Montcalm county/on Thursday, the 15th iust. At the raising ‘ of alarge barn a couple of small boys were playing with a large broad-axe, when oue of them ted to his playmate to iay his head on a block, and . iet Lino cut it off- which was done, and the sharp, heavy axe Instantly severed the head from the ; body of the little follow. Just at this instant a large “bent” of the frame was poised in mid-air ; but the men engaged in raising it were so shocked at the sight, that they let go their hold, when the huge timbers, with a tremendous crash, fell to the ground, killing three men instantly.— Grand Rapids ( Mtch ) Enq. t Dec. 20. j Tfe Harfer’s Ferrv Investigation.-^The special committee of the Senate appointed to in quire into ali the facts connected with John Brown's foray have subpersci Judge Amy of Kansas; Mr ; Conway, the Congressional elect from Kansas; , Augustus Wattles, editor of the Kansas Herald of Freedom; Caj*t.

ALWAYS IN ADVANCE. TUB CASH SYSTEM. Among the greetings t-f the New Year, we have the piers ire of announcing to the public, that, hencefirth, the Chronicle &. Sentinel will be published on the Cash System exclusively. Having ; suffer.d long enough, aud lar,e envugb, by the Credit System, we have concluded that it is iofi- J nitely bett r fi.r cs to owe tii cr seven thousand pt rs ens each a Newspaper a jear, than for sixer seven thousand p9is >ne, scat ered from Maine to Mexioo, to owe ue the price cf a siba.riptiou far a year.

A wise I conclusion we th nk. ths credit system is abandoned, and in future, the subscribers to the Chronicle 4* Sentinel will read their own paper, notours, as thousand cf them havo heretofore done, to our very great loss. Wo might enumerate whole columns cf most eat i factory and conclusive reasoi s why the Cash System ia infinitely prefer, able to the Credit, but it would, iu this progressive age,beau uanecestary consumption cf time, par ticularly as they are known to every intelligent and rsthoting miud. We expect to stiike from our list hundreds, per haps thousand! cf names, of good aud responsible men, simply becat s > they have not paid in advance Some will renew their relation by Rinding the money, while a l iw will be quite offended; perhaps.j This latter class give us no concern, and we sbal* not regret the separation. All we esk if them its* like honest men, to show themselves worthy of credit, by paying what they a rjody ox e us, and they can go their and we will ours, with the assurance that should they at any time want our pa per, and will pay fir if, in advance, we will be pleastd to send it to them —not otherwise. The Chroacle & .Sentinel Enlarged. To-day, January Ist, 136(1, the Chronicle and Sentinel enters upon \ta seventy fourth year, and we have the pleasure of presetting it to its thou sands of roadere, with the Daily very muoh on la r ged, and the next ksae in an entire new dreßS. Were we at all disposed to be garrulous, and our journal, if not the editor, who has conducted during nearly one-third of ita existence, has attained that age when something should be par doned to loquacity, we might entertain or bore our readers, with many reflections, and indulge in some speculations in reference to the future. We will not, however, presume tco much upon our privilege, and will only avail ourself of the occasion to say we enter upon the new year, with a fixed and earnest detera ination to maintain the oharacter of our journal for independence, truth and conser vatism, and ehall spare no effort to make it one of the best newspapers of the day, aud perfectly reliable in every department. This prom'se, we think, we can till Io the letter, and we only ask tnat the paper be judged by its merits. Thu Nhv Year. Among the periods of lime, regularly recurring, which seem to give us cause to reflect—to look back over past e vents, both of personal and gene j ral interest, and to note their effect upou our lives, our feelings and our hearts—to observe cur stand point twelve months ago, and to note our progress since—none is n.oie suggestive to us than the be ginning of a New Year. The day with which this ne* year begins, too, is one peculiarly appropriate for improving thought aid reflection. A cycle has just closed upon us, forever ;-iu its flight it has taken many hours of blies and pain, bringing all nearer “that bouine whencs no traveller returns.” To many the past twilve months Lave been full of happiness, with only bow and theu a speck of oloud to dim the brightness of their sunshine; while others have been made familiar with poverty, sffl ction, and their kindred m:eer;e3. Eveute which are ooustantly passing—changes which must conet&ntly take place—will iaevi’ably leave their impress upon the mind aud the heart, and must contribute much towards the formation of character. And there are passages in many lives where the disappointment or failure cf a sin gle cherished hope or plan leads to the ultimate ruin abd bankruptcy cf thoroughly inculcated and apparently well established Habits and principles. | Let us not, then, pass lightly over the events of a year. Let us setk out and cherish the lessons they have taught us Experience is sometimes a severe teacher, but htr lessons are always practical; and no one, gitted with reasoning powers, cau be so : obtuse as n*t to profit by them, if he will. The old year cloees upcu us. gloomy, cold aud wet; not a gleam of sunahine has pi6roed tho som- ‘ bre veil of over-hanging clouds the whole day long, . and the cold north wind sighs ” A melancholy dirge o’er the deal year, Gone from the earth forever. ’ But we will lock for “a brighter day to morrow,” and while we Bpend the New Year in comfort and contentment arouud a cheerful fire side, let us not forget the poor and needy, but, out of our abun dance, relieve their wants.

This writer takes great interest ia the Jewelry business aud is down on the Auctioneers for selling Jewelry at Auction. 1 cannot see what injury it docs those engaged in that business, as noue of them will acknowledge that they keep the kind of goods this writer says is sold at Auction lie, however, may have aa interest, or keep such goods for s ale, and consequently the Auction inter fares with his trade, and he desires the City Counoil to establish a monopoly here, eo that those who desire to purchase such goods will Lave to go to his shop and buy at his pricss Ihe taxes paid on public sales is three times es much as is paid by any merchant on his private sales, and is quite an item in the revenue of the city. The City Council is composed cf men too well versed in the laws of trade and commerce to attempt to establish a monopoly in favor of any par ticular class, and one that would not be seconded by any city in Georgia or the Uuion. As to the at- I tempt to compare the Auction Houses of this city with the Mock Auctions of New York —it is too ri diculous to need refutation. We are willing for the pubiio to judge for themselves.

Justice. | Death or “Dow, Jr.”—A Sad Story.—El dridge F. Paige, author of Dow, Jr.'s, Patent Ser mons, died in San Francisco on the 2d ult., in a moat abject slate of poverty. The Herald, of that oity, says: No pen can describe, no language express, the intensity of filth, the squalidness of poverty, the ineffable misery, of the apartments in wtuoh this man, unattended, uncared for, had breathed bis last aud resigned his soul to the Creator. We speak of E'.dridge F. Paige, better known under his nont de plume of “Dow, Jr.,” —the author ol the famous “Patent Sermons,” which have made him known to a great portion of the reading world whose lan- 1 guage is English. Ten years ago, Mr. Paige was j the editor and proprietor ot the New York Mer- j ! cury, a paper at that time remarkable for its pun gent wit, Us proverbial good humor, and the prac tical as well as oharitatle views it exprersed oi ; men and tbijg j . The patent sermons of “Dow, Jr.,” were collected and published in book form, and achieved a celebrity, particularly in England, which was very gratifying to the author. Reverses, however,overtook Mi. Paige, aud be lacked tne moral courage, as it appears, to look them in the face and trample them uuder his feet, and after a j ! short contest he came to this oountry to better his fortunes. He had, however, contracted a love for strong drink, and this terrible fiend pursued him to his grave, and drove him into the presence of his Creator Soon after his arrival he wrote for the 1 Sun. then in its meridien, and bis writings were universally commanded. Os late years Mr. Paige has been connected with the Golden Era, whose pages he has enriched with many kindly and generously oocoeiveri contributions. About nine o’clock last night, a police officer was informed that a man war dying on the north side of ; | Paoifio street, three doors east of Kearny, and immediately proceeded to the spot; but ere he arrived the spirit had fled, and ha found a prosti- j tute closing the eyes and jaws ts what was once a : man of mark and fame. As we said before it would be utterly vain to attempt giving the slight eg![description of the re king filth and squaiidness of hie apartment. The bed was innocent of linen of . any kind, and was saturated with water. The floor was indescribably filthy, and the walls dank ; with moisture and filled with fungi. Ou the table j i stood two tin plates that had probably been used 1 j for some time, uud never cleaned from the moment j they were first soiled , these contained the rem ; oante of bis lasi supper. In a corner of the room was a small keg of p:ckUd herrings, the maggots in which were far more numerous than the fish, ; • and almost rivalled them in size. On a small table , i near his bed were two bottles containing liquor— the ourse of his latter iitK and undoubted cause of his death. His Get were; resting on the footboard | of his ioatheome cot, and no portion of hie ]olotbiug ■ bad bsen removed exetpt his hat. Thus died ‘ Eldrldge F. Paige, onoe of wealth, position and celebrity. 4— | Incendiary Language.—Rev. Daniel Worth | was arrested in Guilford, IN.

The Montgomery, Ala , in coun ty convention assembled, have unanimously reso’v ed that they will not support for the Presidency Judge Douglas, or any politician who advocates Territorial squatter sovereignty, or who denies the power and duty of Congrese to protect slavery in i the Territories. They also demand of the Charles ton Convent on to declare itself in favor of the Died S:oit decision and for the protection of slavery in the Territories by Congress. It is to be hoped that they wid maintain this etand. THE WATCH QUESTION, AMERICAN vs. FOREIGN WATCHES. A CARD. CFThe only entirely Hiuinfnrtory proof of a good Watch is, that it tel s correctly; and without Inter ruption, the true time of day. All other tests are illu sory. If the Watch will not perform equally and with accuracy, It is to no purpose whatever that is elaborate ly finished, that curious shapes and patented device 1 ’ are adopted, that novel escapements and ingenious con trivances for compensation are introduced, or that the whole is covered by a famous name and by a massive aud costly case. Hundreds of worthless Watches are beautifully finished, and some are exquisitely contrived to rnn badly and wear ont quickly. A great deal of work is most often a great deal of complexity, and all will admit that no amount ot mere polish will advantage ’ auy piece that is radically malformed or inexactly fitted. It is SIMPLICITY OB’ CONSTRUCTION, and such mathematical correctness in the size and shape of every partasthc appl,cation of machienery to the purp-se alone insures, that, with sufficient uicety of finish, ac complishes the desired result. The founders and managers of the American Watch Company of Waltham are determined to make TIME KEEPERS, w hether they make money or not. They do not under value ornament, but they feel that they can not overvalue Time. This is the meaning of the whole establishment. Thoroughly familiar, by practical experi enee, with the evils inherent in foreign watches, evils that all Watch dealers will bear them out in saying, render nearly worthless for all purposes of time-keeping a large • majority of foreign Watches —they aim, through the substitution of mechanical science, for the uncertain judgment ol the eye and imperfect skill of the hand, to produce an article that shall not only look like a Watch, but perform the duty of a Watch, adoruingit with such a degree of finish as is sufficient, and which, through eDstlines3, will not put it above the reach of any class in be community. AND THAT TUEY HAVE DONE THIS, AND ARE DOING IT, they confidently appeal to the thousands whose and diy coming and going is regu ated by Waltham Wat'hcs, to Bay. in every system, oven the best, there will be imperfection, and instances of failure doubtless occur la the Waltham manufacture, but in a system which produces Watche3 which are IDENTICAL, rather than SIMILAR, the propertionof such must be reduced to a minimum. Hat iug achieved this decisive victory—a victory with a reason for it—the American Watch Company is far from being disappointed at the frequent and unscrupu ous opposition it rneels from many in the importing business. This opposition was to have been e pected and the ocaaslsa of it will be apparent to any one who considers the extent of the importers'trade and its high ly profitable character. The Company has no reason to be dissarisfied with the amount of patronage It re ! celve?, since it is obliged, by the multiplication of orders, large yto increase its force, and to work by night as well as by day; bu‘. it is not content that any portion of the community should be misled as to the real merits of its Watches. Unfortunately there is no article in com- i mon U3e which people generally so little understand as a Watch, and a man’s watchmaker is his only reliance for Judgment. So long, therefore, as imported Watches yield a rich profit to the importer, the Company ex. pects a good deal of decrying and disparagement, wise shaking of the head and faint praise. The Company is gratified to be able to say, however that there are hundreds in the trade whose supreme in terest Is not in importation, or in au old stock on hand who have no national actipa Lics to an American Watch; who, indeed, from patriotic motives, would rather distribute them, even if they were not twice as i sound and honest, and cheap a3auy other—with whom Waltham Watches may be found. The Company con fidently maintain that its Watches will abide the coo elusive test of time-keeping, aud upon that ground it is content to rest its claims to the general patronage.. The pubiic will bear in mind that these Watches are made for reputation, and wiih the responsibility of perpetual guaranty constantly in view ; lor, however they may ebaege hands, wherever and whenever they are found faulty, the Company Is bound to make themjgood.
