rascality. The white people- iu the
country, who are familiar with the dead
falls of our towns, should put the freed
men on their guard against them.
A Timedy Remembrance. —The com
positors of the Dailg Press being de
tained last night a little later than usual,
were the recipients of a timely and
bountiful lunch from the Proprietor, for
which they take the liberty of making
this acknowledgement. It was a “bo
nus’ lunch. It was bonus, in the literal
significance of the Latin word, (good.)
and bonus iu the fact that it was ene of
those pleasant and voluntary evidences
of appreciation, which lighten the bur
den of toil and brighten the dark shades
of life.
Locke on the Human Understand
ing is undoubtedly good, but Blodgett
k Cos. are issuing large editions daily
of works better suited to the general

boots it for a man to have a head full
of metaphysics and no boots on his
feet? The first thing be knows the

Collision.— Au amusing collision
occurred between two drays on Broad
street, on yesterday. Tha horse at
tached to one ran away, and coming In
collision with anotto, one wheel of each
was elevated to an' angle of forty-five
degrees, and both horses cauie to &,balt,
leaving the drays* thus perched in the
air.
Thr Annoyance of Editors.—A
New I'ork letter writer gives the follow
jng specimen of editorial sufferings in
the 'JYibtt fie office :
One day last year, Mr, Greeley wrote
an editorial entitled ‘ William H. Se
ward." Imagine his rage when it came
to him in proof headed’ “Richard the
Third I" Yet anybody familiar witli_
chirography. if his inky jerks elm be‘so
designated, will readily see, not-only
how such a mistake could be made,
but how it probably would be. Again
he wrote about “three men in buck
ram," and the prosaic type setter got it
“three meu in a back room." And
this, notwithstanding the fact that two
compositors of sagacity and experience
are hired at an extra becaijse
they can read his copy. But George
Ripley has been the victim of the
grossest outrage in this line. In one
of his book notices, he took the liberty
of quoting from Shakspeare: “ 'Tis
true, ’lis pity; and pity ’tis,’tis true."
And the wretched bungler got it, “ ’Tis
two, 'tis fifty ; ’tis fifty—’tis fifty two I”
The Valley of the'Amazon.—A
traveller whp has recently visited that
interesting country, says the .country is
intersected by a perfect net work of nnt
ural canals, connecting one river with
another, inosculating like the blood
of the human system For interior
communication, these answer all the
purposes of artificial highways. So
numerous are they indeed as to preclude
the pract ability us well as the necessity
of railroads.
The basin of the Amazon is about
2,500 miles from east to west.and ,3,000
from North to South, embracing an area
of five millions ol square mdes. The
extraordinary fecundity of the soil, and
salubrity of the climate, will enable it
to support a’ population equal to one-'
half of the inhabitants now living on
the globe. The day cannot be distant
when the tide of emigration will set in
that direction; ami when it once begins
in earnest, it will move with a momen
tum far exceeding that which has been
coming to our own shores for the last
halt century. At present the popula
iiou of the whole country is estimated to
be not more than 250,000.
The Goddess of Liberty. —The way
the figure of the Goddess of liberty came
to be on our national coins is as follows:
Mr. Spencer the inventor of Spencer’s
lathe, used by the American Bank Note
Company, was the artist who cut the
first die for our American coin, lie
cut an exact medallion of Mrs. Wash
ington, ihe wife of General Washington,
and the first lew coins were struck wilh
her portrait. When General Washing
ton saw them ho was displeased, nnd
requested the figure to be removed. Mr.
Spencer altered the features a little, and
putting a cap upon its head, called it
the Goddess of Liberty. The sentiment
of which this figure is supposed to be
the symbol, has sadly changed since then,
and Mrs. Washington’s descendants have
no cause to regret that her portrait gave
place to the present counterfeit present
ment.
The Tomato. —One of the most use
ful vegetables of this latitude is the
tomato. Eiiher cooked, raw, or in the
form of catsup, it is palatable and whole
some, and its juice, when properly made
into wine, is an agreeable and healthful
beverage. The following medicinal vir
tues are ascribed to the tomato by high
medical authority:
1. That the tomato is one of Ihe most
powerful aperients ol the liver and or
gans; where calomel is indie rted, it is
oneol the most effective and least harm
ful medical agents known to tho profes
sion.
2. That a chemical extract will be
obtained from it that will supercede the
use of calomel in the cure of disease.
3. That he lias succe-sfully treated
diarrhoea with this article alone.
4. That when used as an article of
diet, it is almost sovereign for dyspepsia
and indigestion.
Everybody that has ten feet square of
land may raise enough of this vegetable
to supply the table for the season.
Icy. Passing Mr. Emery’s well
known icery the other day, we observed
that be was having the whole establish
ment renovated for the opening summer
trade. These warm days remind us of
the good time coming when we shall sit
in the shade at Guerin’s and cool off on
ice cream, or sherbet, or perchance be
beguiled into a smile at some of the
other refrigerating establishments aboiq
town. Sancbo Panza blessed the man
who invented sleep—but the inventor
ot ice was a benefactor also, that all
appreciate iu its season. They are
having an over dose of it up North just
now, but plenty as it is, and has been,
we learn that the ice dealers have not
saved as much as usual. When it froze
the thickest, the weather was too severe
to do much at saving it, and it mode
rated so much, that the ice melted be
fore the ice houses were filled. Still,
the crop is ample, and Emery will have
a supply in due season.
Rinderpest. —The Texas papers ridi
cule the efforts made to keep Texas cat
tle from being shipped West on account
of alleged fear of lliuderpest. They
intimate that ?,impest, or dread of
losing money by competition with the
Texas cattle growers, is the true cause
of the legislation on that subject. It is
stated that it costs ten or fifteen dollars
to raise a beef, in Kansas, which costs
no more thau a dollar in Texas. The
Texas papers think it rather cool to keep
their cattle from market when scabby
sheep of the North and West have been
poured into Texas at all sorts of prices.
Radical Pow Wow in Tknnrßsch.
Undor this head the Nashville Repub
lican gives a full report of the proceed
ings of the Radical Convention which
assembled iu that city on Friday last,
and unanimously nominated Brownlow
for Governor. The Convention was
violent to a degree which we have no
where seen equalled. The following
extract from a*spcech by Judge Houk,
is a fair sample of the proceedings, and
was greeted with storms of applause:
The meanest nigger in nil Tennessee
—the thickest lipped, thickest headed,
(latest upsed, longest heeled pigger in
all Tennessee, was good enough to sit
on a jury to try a rebel—and he would
vote for such a candidal* for* office in
preference to a rebel or Conservative
sos there was not a'scintilla of differ
ence ; it possible, the Conservative was
meaner than the rebel. The most hafe
(tastiest thing he ever saw in his
life was a man coming along and saying
he was a Conservative. He would as
soon hear him say that he was aWse
thief-—he was a mean, nasty dog.

The long talked of marriage between
Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., and Miss
Alice Gwinne, took place in New York
last week. The trains of the bride
maid’s dresses were so long that one
couple had to wait at the door until the
other had gone some distance up the
aisle. The bride wore an elegant white
satin, with point lace peplums, and
tulle veil. The bridemaids, five in
number, wore white tarletan, with very
long trains. The hair was dressed
very high, and ornamented with a
wreath of white morning giories, with
green leaves, which went once around
the chignon and hung below the waist.
Sententious. The Round Table
thinks the propensity for condensing
news is rather overdone, and says that
if our newspapers carry what most of
them would call the “terse, sharp, tell
ing” style of paragraphingtnuch further,
we shall expect to see columns of their
space filled with matter, something
like this :
Industrious Doolittle’s dead.
Picayune Butler’s coming.
Green Peas in Baltimore.
The little Villain’s ratted.
Hard limes in Ole Virginny.
No impeachment this session.

Proposed Loan to Planters —The
St. Louis Board of Trade recently sent
a committee to Washington, to induce
Congress to loan the South from
§50,000,000 to $100,000,000. The
plan was, to make the amount suffi
cient to supply with provisions all who
are engaged in producing Cotton, and
who are unable to procure provisions in
any other way —the cost ot supplies to
be a lien upon the crops, and to be
paid for out of the first proceeds of the
sales of Cotton, the provis ons to be
purchased by the Commissary De
partment of the Army, and dis
tributed through the Freedmeu’s Bu
reau, or by officers of the army; the
advances thus made to be collected
through the agents of the Government
for collecting revenue tax on Cotton,
with proper checks and balances, such
as can readily be established between
the War and Treasury Departments.
The Committee claim that this plan
will not only relieve the Government
of the threatened necessity ot feeding
the destitute as an act of charity, but
will fully employ the labor in the
country, and prevent a famine in the
land.
We have not observed what disposi
tion Congress made of the matter, but
we have no idea they will give it any
favorable attention.
Oil, Inspector. The accidents re
sulting from the use of kerosene oil are
so frequent, that it has been proposed
in Congress to have Government In
spectors appointed, whose duty it shall
be to examine and test all illuminating
oils put in the market. Petroleum oil
can be distilled iu a manner that will
render it quite as harmless as sperm or
lard oils, and some refiners assert that,
if the crude oil is properly converted
into illuminating oil, it will stand the
test of having lighted torches thrust into
the barrels, without risk of explosion.
Tt certainly behooves onr legislators to
investigate the subject, and take meas
ures to protect the people against the
parties who are permitted to make
and sell kerosene oils which cannot be
burned, under ordinary circumstances,
without danger to the lives and property
of consumers and the community.

THE MAYORALTY.
Mr. Editor : As the communications
between Charles Estes, Esq., ami “Tax
Payer," recently published in a city
paper, have had the tendency to excite
some suspicion in regard to the man
agement of our city finances from 1851
to the time the present Council was
inaugurated, and more particularly so
from the fact that no public, exhibit was
made during that period, as had been
done previously, I therefore suggest
(Mr. Estes and “Tax Payer,” having
suggested no way by which we are to
arrive at its condition) that Mr. May be
solicited to again become a candidate,
with the promise that he finish up and
complete the business of bis previous
terms 6f office, and if this pledge will
not be given, that a matt be selected
who will do it for him.
* Observer.
One of the Obnoxious Features
of the Tax Biel Stricken Out.— ln
the House of Representatives yesterday,
Mr. Blaine, of Maine* moved to amend
the Tax Bill by inserting a clause to the
effect that after the Ist of September
next there shall be no tax on Cotton
grown in the United States. The
amendment was adopted in Committee
of the Whole by a vote of sixty three to
fifty four. This Cotton tax is a drag
upon the industry of the South,and the
prospect of its being taken olf will be
hailed with satisfaction by the people of
the Cotton growing regions.— NlW York
Herald, Feb. 23.
What The South Must Rely On.—
There is sound sense in the following
thoughts on Southern prosperity, which
we find in the New York Sun:
The South will be fortunate it it fully
recovers from the shock of w,;r within
the next twenty years. Energy, perse
verance and industry, can make the
desert bloom, but only with the aid of
time. All the help that is within the
power of Congress to give, could not re
store the South its prosperity, and this
is the point which we desire to impress
upon the minds of the Southern people.
They must depend upon themselves tor
the regeneration and material restora
tion of their country. Immigration aud
foreign capital may aid them to some
extent, but they must consider that their
only reliance—their only substantial de
pendence—lies in their own industry.
It is worse than folly to either beseech
of berate Congress because of their
present unfortunate political condition.
Congress could help them but little if it
had the power, ai.d since it has neither
the power nor the will, why waste time !
iu appeals, complaints or grumblings?
The Southern people must rebuild their
prosperity in the same way and by tin
same means that they originally built it
They must go to work. They mus;
throw off the habits of indolence which 1
a large class of them acquired under
the slave system, and bring out the
latent energy and ambition which have
so long lain dormant. The Southern
people ought now to develop their in
dustry aud show to the world that all
the enterprise of the United States is
not confined to the Northern side of
Mason und Dixon’s line. They have the
ability to build up their prosperity, and
they should now show that they have
the will and the ambition to do it. Let
them turn away from Congress, adopt
the policy that we have suggested, place
their reliaueo upon their own efforts,
and within a reasonable time the South
will stand side by side with the North in
wealth, influence and power.
Business in Bninbridge is looking up.
A large hotel and some other new build
ings are being erected.
Phjbakt Rkfly to a Valentin*.—
Dr. B. F. Coleman, in Columbus, hav
ing received a scurrilous valentine, sent
out ot- the Columbus papers the follow
ing :
Messrs. Editors: A gentleman hav
ing sent his portrait through the post
office, without giving his name, I must
ask your indulgence to make my ac
knowledgements to him through your
paper.
Respectfully yonrs,
B. F. Coleman.
Many thanks for your portrait, toy “(/non.
dant unknown”—
Unknown may’st thou over remnio
To honor, to friendship, to countiy orhome,'
And, glorying still in thy shame,
Take spleen tor tby partner, make passion
toy guide,
And malice and envy, hatred and pride,
Shall be coupled (or aye with thy name.
Pale Hecate, thy mother awaits thee below,
Impatient to hail thee, her eon; . ;
Base Belial, surpassed, will uot fail to be
stow
On stioh worthy successor his crown ;
Go join thee with Arnold and dark Cata
liae,
And form a triumvirate lasting as time,
The chief place assuredly thine.
Then, Satyr in features and Devil in hoart,
To thy place iu the wide world of darkness
depart—
There, with spirits congenial, accomplish
tby work,
Assassin like, still stab thy foe in the dark—
A peer in old Pluto’s dark clime—
There tby bad pre-euiDenee ever maintain,
Whilst devils shall blush at the call of tby
name,
And claim tfaee their own Valentine.
A Close Story. —The different mean
ings of many English words which
Sound alike, are the occasion of ludi
crous mbtakes with those who are learn
ing our language. An instance lias
just been related to us which occurred
at the saloon of a French hair dresser,
not a thousand miles from this city. A
customer stepped in one morning to
have his hair cut. The weather was quite
warm, aud a glowing fire in the stove
rendered the heat the more oppressive.
Taking his seat, the French artiste, who
knew little of English, said in brokeu
accents, “Long or short, Monsieur ?’’
“Just so so,” said the customer —and
feeling very hot—he just then observed,
“Very close here.”
“Aye, Monsieur, ver close,” said the
Knight of the shears, and he com
menced to whack away vigorously at
the long flowing locks of the young man,
who was now all aglow with perspira
tion and anxious to get out into a
cooler atmosphere. Every moment or
two he would ropeat his observation
“very close here,”, and once or twice, a
friend who was present avers that he
accompanied it with the expletive be
ginning and ending with ad, thus—
d—d close.” To all of which the dapper
Frenchman would reply—
“ Aye, Monsieur, ver close"—while he
kept on sacrificing the ambrosial locks
of bis customer.
At length the usual finishing touches
were applied, and the complacent ar
tiste led the shorn victim to the glass in
triumph. Judge of his anger when he
found his hirsute glory completely sacri
ficed—the innocent barber having uu
derstood his frequent muttering about
the heat of the room to mean a renewal
of the direction to cut his hair “close.”
The young man went, a«vaj in tin.
worst possible humor, aud though the
French barber soon learned to speak
good English, he avers that he lias
never allowed himself to get “close” to
him since.
Can’t be True. —A Western corres
pendent tells of a young nian from one
of the rural districts who got married in
the morning, and took the train for
Cincinnati. After seeing all the sights
during the day and visiting the opera
at night, the happy pair returned to the
hotel, and the bride returned to her
room. Late in the- night the boot black
discovered the raw youth sitting in the
hall, near the door of his.wife’s room.
He inquired for the clerk of the hotel.
We give what lollowed, verbatim, with
the remark that we don’t believe a word
of it:
“Couldn’t, you make me a bed in the
parlor?” cried the disconsolate individ
ual.
“In the parlor?” echoed the clerk,
“I’m.afraid not."
“Well, I’d like to have one spread
down somewhere.”
“Why don’t you go into your own
room ?" asked the clerk.
“1 don’t like to,” said the blushing
young man.
“Why, what’s the matter?"’continued
the clerk. “Has your wife turned you
out of your room ?"
“No,” said he, drawling, “but you see
I havn’t never been married before, nnd
so I don’t like to go iu, particularly in a
strange place.”
“Oil 1 go right in,” said the clerk;
“she won’t think it wrong.”
Here the door of the room opened
about an inch, and through the aperture
came a voice, coaxiugly saying—
“Do come in, John, I won’t hurt you.
I know’d they think strange of yer
standing out there. Come in now, won’t
yer? I’ve blowed out the gas and it’s
all dark iu here.”
The odor of the room assured the
clerk that she had, indeed, “blowed out
the gas,” so, pushing open the door, he
stopped the flow, raised the window,
nnd returned to the hull to persuade the
verdant husband to retire with his wife.
All arguments were fruitless, however,
and he was compelled to assign the sim
ple individual a separate room h um that
his wife was in that night.
