We have no desire to fan the present sectional excite ment; and, so far aa that is concerned, we can afford to laugh at the stories of "chaining negroes at night in gin-houses; and feeding them on boiled cotton seed," of Secretaries of the Cabinet at Washington vending their slaves at Now-Orleans tor prostitution; and similar aimable stories oftheHutchinsonFumily Whittier, Russell Lowell, and other Abolition poets.

The Editor of the Picayune, commenting on this article, says Iti« understood, We believe, that these papers are written by Charles A, Bristed, grandson of the late John Jacob Astor, andheir of no inconsiderable part of his wealth. He is the Bamo personage who not long ago appealed toiEogland and America, against tbs injuries, inflicted upon “American hospitality,” in his person, by the refusal of the Hon. Mr. Law, a member of Parliament, to repay some money which Mr. Bristed had lent in New-York to the eon of Mr. Law, a scape-grace whom the toadies of New York had lionized aa a sprig of nobility. Mr. Bristed knows about as much of the feelings of the North ss he does of the intellectual and social state of the South, and that is about what he can gather within the walls of the brownstono palaces on the Filth Avenue, in which parvennes gather themselves in exclusive coteries, and encourage each other to for get that they live in a Republic. He has taken up bis residence in Paris, we believe, as better suited to his taste* aa a man of exquisite refinements than even the uppermost circles ot New York pretention. W The Booi*tv Land Bill,—It is stated that two thirds of the members of Congress seem to have de termined upon amending the Bounty Land Law ot last session, to allow the transfer of warrants before location, There ia no /cason why the warrants should not be transferable before location. Few ot the persona who obtain the grants—widows and or* phan children—will ever settle upon the lands, and the only benelitthewarrantcan bo is to sell it at the best advantage. They can do thia, in nine cases out of ten, better when it has not been located, as per sons wishing to buy desire, generally, more th n one warrant which thoy can locate themselves, and contiguous to each other, instead of buying a dozen or ao in different States and in different places in the same State, as they necessarily must do when they buy singlo grants already located. As the object of the grant of bounty land was to benefit the sol dier or his heirs, and compensate tor his services in the war, all restrictions wnich diminish the va'ne of the gift Bhould be at once removed.—Baltimore Sun. Thia ia capital loby logic, that comorant land spec ulators are using to enable theintohavo euch a change made inthelaw as will throw the bounty land imo their hands for a mere nominal price. It is estimat ed that if the proposed amendment waa made, such would b« the amount of land scrip thrown into the market, that the price would go down to ten centt an acre. At such rates, it would soon all be bought up by those disinterested gentlemen who "generally desire to buy more than one warrant.’’ The price of 40 or 89 acres would be but a poor “reward to the soldier or bis heira, for his services in the war.” It would hare been belter, we think, never to have voted the land, if it i* to pass in the hands of the mo nopolists. PIP Acurious phenomenon took place recently in the department of the Marne, France. A globe ef fireappeared in the skyabout 9 o’clock P. M., and roll ing with terrible rapidity, fell at a Bhort distance irom a company of four agriculturists, who were re turning to their farm. The peasants went to the spot, and fodhd there a glittering stone, which they picked up, andcarried home. To their great wonder and astonishment, Aha stone was composed of a large quantity of gold, slid ifi* said that its value amounts, to 2,OCX) frtrncs. The statement bat caused a grra cilMttotion among ft# Longfellow’s volumes of the same size, is thus np. propriately dedicated: “To Mv Beloved Mother, this little volume ia affectionately inscribed."

It is from no less authority than the Grave London <luartcrly Review; and what ia more, has the sanction of our judgment How to wear a Shawl—If a lady sports a shawl at ait and only very falling shoulders should venture to do so, we should recommend it to be always either falling oil'or putting on,which produces pietty action. Or she should wear it upon one shoulder and down tlie other, or in some wav drawn irregularly, so as to break the uniformity. One ot the faults of the pre sent costume, as every real artist knows, is that it of fers a few diagonal lines. Nothing is more pictu resque than a line across the bust, like the broad rib bon ot the border ot 'he garter as worn by Queen Victoria, nr the loose girdle, sloping across the hips in the costume of tlie early Plantagenets. On this very account, the long scarf shawl is ss picturesque h thing ns a lady can wear. With the broad pattern sweeping over one shoulder, and n narrow one ur none at all on the other, it supplies the eye with that irregularity which drapery requires; while the slant ing form and colors of the border, lying carelessly round the figure gives that eastern idea which every shawl more or less implies. What Oriental would ever wear one straight up aud down, and uniform on both sides, as our ladies often do ? er Neafie is playing “ Mohammed”—Forrest’a thousand dollar prize tragedy—in New-Orleans.— Mr. Forrest made a present of the work to Mr NeaGe.
