in a fraction of 14 per cent, on the capital stock of
the company. 119,872 passengers passed over the
road and 59,425 bales of cotton—showing an in
crease of business over former years.

We would remind the law student of the fact
that this school has been permanently established

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.
Horatio, 15 or 16 years of age, son of Mr.
Francis Johnson, of Clinton, Jones county, unfor
tunately shot himself while playing with a loaded
pistol at Mount Zion, (where he was at school)
on Saturday, the 7th inst. He was at the time, we
learn, sitting in company with two other students,
handling the pistol, when it unexpectedly went
off, discharging the whole load into his thigh, sev
ering the niaiu artery. The artery was taken up
as speedily as possible, but from the loss of blood
and consequent exhaustion, he died on the suc
ceeding day. At the firing of the pistol no alarm
was excited on the part of the young men present,
but Johnson soon directed their attention to his
bleeding thigh by pointing to it. All possible aid
was rendered, but to no effect. Thus a second son
friend Johnson has been snddenly bereft of, in the
vigor of life, from the effect of fire-arms. We
deeply sympathise with him and friends in their
great loss—the loss of a promising and loved son.
How delusive worldly hopes—brightest expecta
tions how suddenly blasted! Every day’s observa
tion shows the hazard and impropriety of carrying
deadly weapons, yet it is still persisted in.
The Union Party in Hasaachnsetts.
Pursuant to public notice a State Convention of
the Constitutional Union Part}' in Massachusetts
was held at Bostou on the 29th ult. It was called
to order by Hon. Marshall P. Wilder, and was per
manently organized by the selection of the Hon.
Nathaniel Silsbee as President and a number of
other gentlemen as Vice Presidents and Secreta
ries. About five hundred delegates were present.
Brief addresses were made by Messrs. Marshall P.
Wilder, Geo. T. Curtis, Nathaniel Silsbee, Lever-
ett Saltonstall, Geo. S. Hillard, and A. C. Cary.
The following series of resolutions, reported
from a committee was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the time has come when it is the
duty of conservative and patriotic men, all over
the country, to unite in the formation of a party in
which Northern men and Southern men can act
harmoniously together for ends in which all parts
of the country arc alike interested.
Therefore, we desire and propose to form a Un
ion party, mainly designed to put an end to useless,
and worse than useless, agitation. At the same
time we hold open the door for the entrance of
members of any present or former party. We wel
come all who will come under (he banner of the
Constitution and the Union; making no reproach
es for the past and no bargains or conditions for
the future.
Resolved, That there is no issue before the coun
try at this time demanding the maintenance of a
political organization which from necessity must be
sectional; that there are no Territories where the
question of slave labor or free labor is not already
effectually settled; therefore all efforts by the lead
ers of parties to excite the people of different sec-
tnis if
tiuns againt each other on this issue are misdirected
and mischievous in their tendency.
Resolved, That we consider it the first duty of
every nation to protect its own industry, thereby
securing to the producer a home market and good
prices, and to the nation that prosperity, wealth,
and independence which can be secured in no oth
er way. Therefore, we are in favor of the protec
tion of American industry, and we deprecate that
system of duties which affords inadequate protec
tion to home manufactures and opens the door to
enormous frauds upon the national revenue.
Resolved, That we will use all efforts to expose
the corruption and to check the extravagance of tlie
different departments of Government, both Nation
al and State ; believing that their increase threat
ens to change the character of our whole legisla
tion, and augurs evil to our most cherished institu
tion.
Resolved, That a thorough change in the admin
istration of the political affairs of the Common
wealth is imperatively demanded ; that to this we
pledge our earnest efforts; and that while duty im
pels us to make the attempt, the general expres
sion of popular sentiment gives us confidence to
feel that the opportunity has arrived for the resto
ration of the State to its ancient integrity, dignity,
and honor.
It was furthur resolved “ that the Hon. John J.
Crittenden, of Kentucky, aud the Hon. Edward
Everett, of Massachusetts, are recommended as
candidates for the Presidency by this State Conven
tion of the Constitutional Union Party, aud that
this Convention express no choice between the two.”
Thirteen Delegates, besides alternates, were ap
pointed to the National Convention to meet at Bal
timore, headed by the names of Wm. Appleton and
Joseph Grinnel, on the part of the State at large.
A Substitute for Preserves.—A lady writer
in an exchange communicates the following bit of
information obtained where she “took tea last r”
A dish of what I took to be preserves was pass
ed me, which, upon testing, I was surprised to
learn contained no fruit. Hie ease with which it
was prepared, aud the trifling cost of its materials,
are not its chief recommendations, for unless my
tasting apparatus deceived me, as it is not usually
wont to do, it is emphatically a tip tep substitute
for apple sauce, apple butter, tomato preserves and
all that sort of thing. Its preparation is as fol
lows : Moderately boil a pint of molasses from
five to twenty minutes, according to its consisten
cy, then add three eggs thoroughly beaten, hasti
ly stirring tltem in, and continue to boil a few min
utes longer, then season with a nutmeg or lemon.
The American Glaxo Islands —A bill
amending the act of 1856 has passed the Senate by
a very lage vote, providing for the inspection ol
American Guanoes, to be made at the expeuse of
importers, uuder direction of the Secretary of
the Treasury. Thus farmers will know the
exact value of the article they purchase.—
This kind ot protection is all that is needed to
command the confidence of the public. One
of the largest ship-owners in New York has
made a contract for one hundred thousand tons of
these guanoes, and has sent a chemist to Baker’s
and one to Jarvis’s Island to select the best of the
deposits.
A Steam Wagon for Common Roads.—A
foundry firm in Hannibal, Missouri, has just com
pleted a road locomotive, to run by steam, which
upoa its trial proved eminently successful; so
much so that a gentleman of that city has contract
ed for one, at a cost of #2,500, for a trip to Pike’s
Peak.
Judge Lyon.—We learn from the Intelligencer
that the Hon. Richard L. Lyon, the youngest
J udge on the Supreme Bench, will shortly remove
from Albany, his present home, to Atlanta.
On the 24th of February Queen Victoria held a
Njvee, at which Capt. McCiintock, the commander

The national Convention.
As the period for holding the National Conven
tions approaches, the candidates for the Presidency
are becoming more numenras.itbeing now apparent
that the question of “availability” will more or
less govern the action of all of them. The Charles
ton Convention being the first of the trio, will, in the
presentation of its nominees, sattle the chances iff
some of the prominent contestants whose names are
mentioned in connection with the Baltimore and
Chicago Conventions, and the friends of the can
didates of each and all are therefore in great tribu
lation. At Charleston the following will probably
be the candidates on the first ballot
Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois.
R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia. *
Gen. Jos. Lane, of Oregon.
Daniel S. Dickinson, of New York.
Henry A. Wise, of Virginia.
Fernando Wood, of New York.
John C. Breckinridge, of Kentucky.
James Guthrie, of Kentucky.
John Slidell, of Louisina.
The National Union Convention, to be held in
Baltimore on the 9th of May, will have before it
but fow contestants for the nomination. Those
most prominent in this connection at present are:
John Bell, of Tennessee.
Edward Bates of Missouri.
Judge McLean, of Ohio.
John M. Bolts, of Virginia.
Gen. Sam Houston, of Texas.
The Chicago Republican Convention will proba
bly open its session with but five candidates, viz:—
William II. Seward, of New York.
Edward Bates, of Missouri.
Judge McLean, of Ohio.
Governor Chase, of Ohio.
Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania.
The selection for the Vice-Presidency is always
contingent on the sectional locality of the nominee
for the Presidency, and hence it is not usnal to
name any aspirants for this office. Many candi
dates are named for the Presidency with the ex
pectation of taking the second honor if they fail in
securing the first.
The success of the Republican party in Connec
ticut on Monday last is regarded assoinewbatdam-
aging the prospects of Mr. Douglas at Charleston,
and as a consequence, advancing the chances of
Mr. Seward for the Chicago nomination. The.
New Hampshire election, on the other hand, being
the triumph of a combined opposition to liepubli-
can sni, and not a pure Democratic victory, cannot
be claimed as improving the prospects of either
Seward or Douglas, but rather indicating to both
parties the necessity of avoiding the nomination of
either. It was a development of the Conservative
vote which holds the balance of power in all the
free States, and which can give success to the nom
inee of the party that may succeed in securing it.
The friends of both Douglas and Seward claim
that the battle is to be fought mainly in the North
western States, and that the result in the other sec
tions of the Union, with the exception of Pennsyl
vania and New Jersey, can now bo figured out
with arithmetical precision. The vofrs of Illinois
and Indiana, with the chances for either Oregon or
Minnesota, combined with the votes of the admitted
Democratic States, in such a contest, would elect
the Charleston nominee, and hence the Douglas
delegates from these two States, casting twenty-
four votes, will be a power at Charleston whieh r the
friends of Mr. Douglas consider must be irresistible
The nomination of Hunter, Wise, Lvne, or Breck
inridge at Charleston would, they assert, give Illi
nois and Indiana to Seward, whilst the opponents
of Douglas maintain that by his nomination the
party may lose Maryland, Kentucky and Tennes
see, which would be a loss of tliirty-two votes to
gain twenty-four. If Dickinson or Douglas are
nominated at Charleston, the probability is, there
fore, that Bates or McLean will be the nominee at
Chicago, and if any of the Southern aspirants are
placed in nomination, Seward will be the nominee
of the Republicans. Thus it is that the question of
sectional “availability” will be the main control
ling influence of both these great national assem
blages.
The National Union Opposition Convention, to
assemble at Baltimore ou the 9th of May, in the
present position of parties, may possibly prove an
assemblage, of great importance, standing firmly
on national and patriotic grounds, although it is
now asserted by its opponents that it will merely
furnish a ticket for the anti-Democratic vote of Ma
ryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, and other Southern
States to combine upon. It is regarded by both
Democrats and Republicans as “the fifth wheel of
a coach,” as a mere speculative political venture
to keep up the form and substance of an organiza
tion for future development. The indications at
present are, however, that it will be largely attend
ed by Delegates from nearly all the States, com
prising men of high standing and pure political
character, who have adhered to their principles
amid all the vicissitudes of party changes. Hence,
that such an
we cannot for one moment presume
assemblage will even entertain the thought of plac
ing in nomination Mr. Bates, with the hope of thus
forcing the choice of the Chicago Convent ion, espe
cially since liis recent open bid for Republican fa
vor. Its only consistent course would be to nom
inate such a man as John Bell, whose record is
purely national, or Mr. Crittenden, or Mr. Everett,
who are the only prominent representatives now-
remaining of the old Whig party. With either of
these candidates there is a probability that Mary
land, Kentucky aud Tennessee mi^ht be carried,
especially if the Democratic candidate should be
unacceptable to the sentiment of those States.
The running of such a ticket ou the other hand
would, we think, be advantageous to the Democ
racy iu New Jersey aud Pennsylvania, giving
them a chance for the thirty-two votes ot those
States iu place of thirty-two they might lose in
Maryland, Kentucky and Tennessee. This would
have the effect of throwing the election into Con
gress, and as neither party have a majority of the
States iu tlie present House ~
of Representatives, the
result would be in great doubt. The numerous
shades of politics in many of tlie State delegations,
whilst Maryland, Kentucky and Illinois are equal
ly divided, would make it a matter of greater diffi
culty to settle than the Speakership, and could on
ly be disposed of, we fear, by a species of corrup
tion w hich would render such a contingency great
ly to he deplored.
The Union Opposition Convention may, howev
er, have a great influence over the action of both
the great parties of the country. It will warn the
Democrats at Charleston to shun a sectional nomi
nee and avoid tlie construction of a sectional plat
form,—and it will compel the Republicans at Chi
cago to abandon their extreme views aud extreme
men to secure the conservative vote of tlie free
States. A most fortunate time has been chosen for
the assemblage, and after the. Charleston Conven
tion has put forth its nominees, we shall not be
surprised to sec the Union Convention assume an
importance that will attract to it a large share of
public attention from all parties.
The reason why General Joe Lane’s friends are
rushing him so prominently forward as a Presi
dential candidate, is thus stated by the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Leader:
“The anxiety- to have General Lane elected does
not by any means wholly arise from political sym
pathy with his views. The clique in question are
largely iuterested in the Oregon war debt, w’bieh
has been bought up by parties friendly to them at
ten cents ou the dollar. Now-, as the sdleged debt
amounts to more than six millions of dollars, and
as General Lane, if elected President, would of
course favor its payment, we have here au induce
ment of very solid proportions for the support of
that candidate, aud the expenditure of a large sum
of money to secure his nomination. In other w-ords,
should General Lane be eleeted, these speculators
would receive six millions of dollars for a debt
bought up for six hundred thousand.’ 1
The Shad Season Actually Closed.—We
have been credibly informed that the shad season
is now closed. As many of our readers are not
aware of the extent of the shad catching, we have
been furnished with the following particulars:
The boats used cost on an average $60 each, and
seines from #40 to $65. There have been employ
ed as operatives the past season on the Savannah
and Ogeechee rivers, about 350 men; this includes
marketmen, &e. Tho wages of those parties are
from $15 to $20 per month, and very many of
them are employed for the shad season at the South
aud the North. Nearly all of the Northern men
have returned to their homes. Those who now
spread their seines are those who are located with
us.—Savannah Eve. Erprcss, 12/A inst.
New Route to China.—The government of
Great Britain is about to take steps for the con
struction of a first-class highway or railroad front
the valley of the Irrawaddy to the south-western
frontier ot China. Half its length, or 250 miles,
wmuld be constructed through British, the remain
der through Burmese territory. Tbe part of China
thus made commercially subject to Rangoon, con
tains about 80,000,000 inhabitants, and the region
is in the main highly productive. Steam commu
nication will also be shortly established between
that city and England, by way of Calcutta, Bom
bay and the Red Sea.
Wheat Crop.—We have consulted with fann
ers from every section of our county, aud they all
concur in the statement that there will not be more
than a half crop of wheat in Floyd this year, even
if what is still growing should turn out as well as
could be wished. AU the wheat that was spared
by the cold weather, is late, and it is feared that
the rust will take it. Some of our largest farmers
will make no wheat at all, in fact, have ploughed
up the fields in which it was sowed, and prepared
them for cotton, corn and oats.—Rome Courier, 12th.
American Bible Society.—The financial
vear of the American Bible Society closed on Sat
urday last, March 31st. The past year has been
one of great prosperity; the total receipts were
four hundred aud thirty-five thousand dollars, and
the number of volnmns issued seven hundred «nd
fiftytwo thousand.
RMliai lirtk
There is not, probably, in the whole political
world, a more contemptible course of policy than
that which now characterizes a considerable portion
of the South. The Supreme Court of the United
States having rendered it impossible for any man
but a born orselfmade fool to doubt the rights of
the South in our territories, and it being perfectly
apparent that the Northern people (Squatter Sove
reignty Democrats and Black Republicans,) despite
the Constitution, intend to nullify and defeat
these rights—the self-seekers, office aspirants and
submissionists of the South are striving, by all
sorts of pretexts and falsities, to reconcile the
Southern people to their passive surrender. When
Kansas was tne theatre of contention, the same
people were busy with the same policy. Robert
J. Walker got up the isothermal liue by which he
proved that slavery was totally unsuited to Kan
sas. It was too far north, although lying broadside
by the richest tobacco counties of Missouri ; and
the vast majority of the population being opposed
to slavery, of course the will of the people ought to
be obeyed. It turns out now, not only that Kansas
is a fine hemp and tobacco country, but abounding
in mines which may make it the rival of California
in the production of gold. Having tnrnod Kan
sas over to the North, they are now busy, with the
same tactics, to induce the Southern people to sur
render to the North the rest of our Territories, pres
ent and future.
And with what brazen effrontery—with what
dexterous sophistries—is this tratorious policy to
wards the South defended and lecommended!—
How base and hypocritical are their professions of
in the Nor "
confidence in the Northern people, in their fidelity
to the Constitution and the rights of the South in
the matter of Southern slavery ; and with what he
roic devotion do they vaunt of the power of the
South in the Union, and her noble adequacy for
her protection ! Thus, by belittling the interests
of the South in our territories on the one hand, and
magnifying the, Union on the other—by ignoring
the past aggressions of the North, aud falsifying
everything bearing on the present, they propose to
quell the rising spirit of the South, and induce her
to acquiesce iu tne plunder of the North of ail our
territories. How different is the course of things
at the Narth ! There, right or wrong in their pol
icy, no mistake rests on its tendency. It is true
to the North. Crowds follow Senator Douglas
wherever he goes, as the legislative conqueror of
Kansas for the North, and their cunning aud faith
ful leader for future domination in our territories.
Mr. Seward leaves New York for Europe ; and
thousands in steamboats, with music, flags and
shoutings, escort him down the bay. He boldly
declares that the emancipation of our slaves must
be accomplished by the General Government, and
he reigns a prince in their affections. To keep out
or drive out the Southern people from oar territories
is the grand basis of parties at the North. No
man dares insuit tlie intelligence of the Northern
people by maintaining their insignificancy. No
man ventures to wound their pride by belittling
their vast conquests over the South in our common
territories. The battle is fought aud won by the
North, is the haughty boast of all. They are now
only to fell nv up aud secure their victory, and all
our vast territories will be theirs. Apology for
Sothern slavery seldom drops from their lips. Love
for “the glorious Union,” when spoken of in con
nection with the institutions of the South, seldom
pollutes, by its hypocrisies, their frank antipathy.
No admiration for those who have struggled, iu
obedience to the Constitution, against their sec
tional hate and ambition, graces their oratory.—
These are-cast aside with scorn ; and right on, con
sistently,unswervingly,they move to thejeonsumma-
tion of their sectional rule and aggrandizement.—
We may not respect the faithlessness to the Consti
tution which governs this policy ; but we cannot
but respect the courage—the openness—the manli
ness—with which it is pursued ; whilst, from the
very bottom of our hearts we regard, with a loath
ing, abhorrence, aud contempt, utterly inexpressi
ble, the base self-seeking aud treacherous sufc-
missionists of the South who seek to make her its
victim.—Charleston Mercury.
Repudiating Douglas.
The following Democratic papers of Georgia,
says the Macon Citizen, has repudiated Stephen A.
Douglas, as the nominee of the Charleston Con
vention.
Savannah News and Express.
Cartersville Express.
Federal Union, Milledgeville.
The Times, Columbus.
The Patriot, Albany.
Reporter, Cuthbert.
Intelligencer and Confederacy, Atlanta.
Banner, Athens.
Statesman, Marietta.
And we believe every other Democratic organ
of Georgia, except the Telegraph, of Macon, and
the Constitutionalist of Augusta! And yet, should
Douglas be the nominee, as is highly probable, how
many of these repudiators will stick to their decla
rations! We shall see. In the meantime we. put
upon regord what the Savannah News has said in
reference to the Georgia Democracy :
Georgia Repudiates Douglas.—Whether
“the South will bolt at Charleston if Douglas is
nominated” remains to be seen, but of one tiling
we feel very confident, aud that is that thousands
of true Democrats in Georgia icill bolt the nomina
tion of the Courcntion if Douglas is the nominee.
No argument of expediency, nor even apprehension
of a Black Republican triumph, can induce the
Democrats of Georgia to endorse Douglas’ squat
ter sovereignty heresy which, in its practical effects
mould, be as fatal to the rights of the South in the Ter
ritories as any doctrine preached by Seward himself.
Those Southern journals who have interpreted the
action of the late Convention at Milledgeville, in
sending delegates to Charleston uninstructed, as
favoring tbe nomination of Doouglas, have done
injustice to the Convention aud to the Democracy
of Georgia.
Children and Fire-Arms.—A sad accident
occurred yesterday, in the family of Mr. Augustus
Boulineau, corner of Montgomery and Charlton
streets, which adds another to the long catalogue
of warnings against allowing children the use of
explosive weapons. The son of Mr. B. a lad some
fourteen years of age—was handling a pistol, with
out being aware that it was charged, and remark
ed to his mother; “Suppose, mamma, some one
should slaj) my jaws, let me show you how I would
do him,” at the same time pointing the pistol to
ward his mother, and pulling the trigger. To his
astonishment, the weapon exploded and lodged
the hall in the right shoulder of Mrs. B. who in
stantly fell to the floor. Physicians were imme
diately sent for, and upon examination, it was
found that the ball entered just above the clavicle,
grazing it, and passing backward, lodged in the
back jiart of the shoulder, inflicting a painful, but,
fortunately, not a mortal wound. An inch lower
down, it would have been fatal.
The incident teaches a lesson which every boy
and parent should take to heart.

A House Remedy for Scarlet Fever.—
Parents should be very careful about their chil
dren when this devouring plague seizes them, and
every good mother should be prepared for it with
the following simple remedies :
1st. When a child is taken with the fever give it
a dose of castor oil; if the body shows a flush col
or, have a pot of saffron tea made and give it to
the child to drink. This will drive the eruption
out.
2d. Have warm baths for their feet, keep it
warm, aud the room under a proper temperature.
3d. When the eruption is out, grease the whole
body with bacon fat, and keep tlie body open.
Then call for a doctor if the throat should get sore.
[Better begin by calling in the doctor.)—.Vat. hit.
What is Life ?—The mere lapse of years is not
life, to eat, drink and sleep—to be exposed to
darkness and tbe light—to pace round in the mill
of habit, and turn thought into an implement of
trade—this isnot life. In all this, but a poor frac
tion of the consciousness of humanity is awakened,
and the sanctities still slumber which make it
worth while to be. Knowledge, truth, love, beau-
ty, goodness, faith, alone can give vitality to the
mechanism of existence. The laugh of mirth that
vibrates through the heart—the tears that freshen
the dry wastes within—the music that brings cbild-
hood^ack —the prayer that calls the future near—
ooul
the doubt which makes us meditate—the death
which startles us with mystery—tbs hardship
which forces us to struggle—the anxiety that ends
in trust—are the true nourishment of our natural
being.
The North-west Passage.—Some years ago
the British Government offered a reward of twen
ty thousand pounds sterling to the discoverer of
the North-west Passage. The prize has beeu al

This officer sailed from Behring’s Straits and

still proceeding eastward, joined the expeditions

and journey across the North American continent
from the Pacific to the Atlantic. The friends of
Sir John Franklin, however, claim that the credit
is due him, and that his widow is in consequence
entitled to the money.

ItUcnraf thalaitaaBok IgcMfi
The Colnmbna Sun, of Tnesdar, gives the fol
lowing concerning the recent robbery of the Ma
rine Bank Agency in that city, which ia folia
than onr despatch. We may say that the amount
stolen, as telegraphed by tbe Agent himself, to
the Bank in this city, is $46,000.
One of the most singular, if net the most
daring of robberies, was committed in this
city on Monday night. The Agency of the Marine
Bank was entered and #40,000 abstracted from
the vault. The box from which the amount was
taken contained in all probability $120,000, about
two-thirds of which was left. So far as ascer
tained, no coin has been taken, and at present
it is impossible to ascertain tbe exact extent of
the loss. The strange part of the whole affair is,
that the lock of the back door where the thief
entered, as well as the locks of the vanlt door,
hare received no marks of violence whatever.—
The back door was discovered early in the morning
d
to be open, but as the Agent is an early riser anc
isits the
visits the Bank At an early hour, no attention was
paid to the fact particularly, as the door showed
no mark of having been forced open. The back
door was locked Monday night and the key left
on the inside. We hare some other particulars,
but from reasons which suggest its propriety, for
bear for the present to give them. No clue has
been found to the perpetrator of the deed.
The Bank Rebhery—E. B. Rehnes arrested—
the fleney found.
The money stolen from' the Agency of the Ma
rine Bank of this city, amounting to $45,000 has
been found, with the exception of the small snm
of $2,000. On Wednesday evening suspicion rest
ed upon Mr. E. B. Holmes, book keeper iu the Ma
rine Bank Agency, from the fact that he had been
gambling to a considerable extent for months past.
He was watched during the night of the 11th inst.,
aud was seen to leave his residence about 9 o’clock
and enter a lane, was lost sight of for a time, but
was again discovered passing Judge Crawford’s on
his way to the Perry House.
Yesterday morning, a negro passing along the
road leading to the Orphan Asylum, at au earlyhour,
discovered a large package of money near a small
bridge. He immediately delivered the money to
Marshal Hughes, who counting it out with the
agent, Mr. Bowers, found that it contained the
sum of $30,500 in the bills lost by the bank.—
The officers of tlie bank sent for Mr. Holmes, and
endeavored to obtain from him a confession of his
gilt, and the names of his accomplices. Mr.
Holmes, however, persisted in declaring his inno
cence, aud would not confess his complicity until
told that lie would be obliged to go to jail, and no
one would be his bondsman.
Without acknowledging his own guilt, Mr.
Holmes then directed one of the officers of the
bank where the balance of the money could be
found. Ou looking beneath the steps of Mr. John
Allen’s work shop, near the residence of Mr.
Holmes, the point designated by Mr. Holmes, a
package of $12,500 was discovered, making, in
all recovered, something over $43,000. Mr.
Holmes was arrested on the oath of the Cashier,
and bound over in the sum of $2,500.—Columbus

Let those who are always grumbling and com.
plaining of their “hard lot" read the following ex
tract irom a letter writtcu at Berlin in Prussia,and
thank God that he has cast their lots in this Heav
en-favored land, and cease from their ingrateful
murmurings.
The melancholy accounts from the district of
Schlochen, in Western Prussia, referred to in one
of my previous reports, find an echo now in the
cry of distress arising from tho mountainous parts
of Lusatia. The whole population there consists of
spinners and weavers, to whom the introduction of
machinery has been fatal. The weaving by hand,
which in the circle of Sauban alone formerly com
prised over 30,000 persons, or about half the in
habitants, is being gradually superseded by the
power-loom, and the earnings of the poor weavers
have fallen so low that it seems truly wonderful
how they can manage to exist upon them—if such
a state can really be called existence. For weaving
a piece of cotton cloth, 243 ells, or 182 yards in
length, the wages allowed are one thaler and fif
teen silver groshens, or one dollar twelve and a
half cents American money ; this it takes the weav
er two weeks to complete, working not only all
day, but part of the night, besides which he has an
outlay of sixteen groshens for the material, which
he has to find himself, for preparing the yarn,
winding, &c., so that lie only nets twenty-nine sil
ver groshens (72.) cents) by his fortnight’s labor, or
two groshens (five cents) per diem, on which—or,
at least, on double that amount, supposing the wife
and children earn as much—a whole family have
to live aud to pay for schooling, taxes, &c. Ihe
condition of the linen weavers is rather better; they
are paid the magnificent sum of three silver gro
shens, or seven cents aud a half, for sixteen hours’
work ; but the spinners are still worse off, being,
we are told on official authority, unable, with the
utmost industry, to earn more than three quarters
of a groshen, or not quite two cents, a day. Of
these unhappy creatures the circle of 8auban alone
contains 5,4U0. Under such circumstances it will
not appear surprising that the race degenerates
from year to year, and that last summer when the
young men were called upon to serve in the army,
nearly half the number of recruits were rejected
as unfit for service. The only mystery is that peo
ple should continue working at such unprofitable
trades, aud do not turn their hands to some more
remunerative employment, if it were only sweep
ing the crossings or breaking stones on the road.
John Bell.—The Southern Confederacy thiuks
the State of Tennessee justly put her seal of con
demnation upon tlie lion. John Bell, when it
refused to re-elect him to the United States Sen
ate, because he would not vote for the Kansas
bill—a bill pronounced by Judge Iverson to be a
‘cursed and wretched thing of uncertainty s and un
meaning generalities. That act of John Bells'
alone, ought to have secured to him the gratitude
of the South aud country, The strangest thing
of all, to us, is, how the Confederacy can reject
Judge Douglas and squatter sovereignty, and
take Mr. A. H. Stephens aud the Kansas bill to
his embrace. Judge Iversou said, in his speech
Grriflii, that Squatter-Sovereignty in the Kansas
bill lost tlie South, Kansas. Mr. Stephens voted
for the “cursed and wretched thing, with its uncer
tainties and unmeaning generalities,” and John
Bell spoke and voted against the vile thing. We
would suggest to the Confederacy the propriety of
consistency by taking down the name of the man
who voted for the Squatter Sovereign Kausas bill
and place in its stead the name of the man whom
Tennessee condemned because lie would not vote
for the Squatter-Sovreignty Kansas bill.—Geor.

A Sweet Comforter.—An iutereating incident
occurred soon after Mrs. Judson left Calcutta.—
With health prostrated, surrounded by strangers

hand touched her arm, and a very sweet voice
said, “Mamma,’ though I take the wings of the
morning, and dwell in tho uttermost parts of the
sea, even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy

ed owing to the want of provisions and amunitions

thousand of his men. The loss in the city of Vera
Cruz was trifling.

Letter From Gen. Houston.
A letter from Geu. Houston, of Texas,
to the Secretary of War, dated March
12th, lias been published, detailing the
late troubles on the llio Grande. He de
nies that he ever proposed crossing over
into Mexico with au armed force, although
such a step in accordanc with the wish
es and impulses of the people of Texas.
He has also, since 1857, been written to
from various parts of the United States
urging him to invade Mexico, with a view
to the establishment of a protectorate, and
assuring him that men, nmney, and arms
would be placed at his disposal if he
would engage iu the enterprise. To these
overtures ho never made any favorable
response. His recent action, therefore, in
calling out volunteers, he avers has been
grossly misrepsented. Texas, not only
on the frontier, but in some of the in
terior counties, has lately suffered severely
from Indian depredations, and he took the
best means at bis command to stop the
evil. In so doing he consulted with the
United Slates officers, and deferred in all
things to the Federal requirements. He
trusts the Department will call out a regi
ment of rangers, and attempt to negotiate
with the Indians.—National Intelligencer.
