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 * i«wig.,..r— — th e 1^ Arctic expedition, fc- From the Baltimore American. 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. [Savannah Republican, 10th inst. 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 ready awarded by Government to Sir R. McClure. This officer sailed from Behring’s Straits and reached the furthest point eastward attained by any vessel. From this point he abandoned his ship, after being two years shut up in the ipe, and still proceeding eastward, joined the expeditions from Baffin’s Bay, thereby completing the voyage 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. One of the oil wells in Pennsylvania is owned by Mr. Evans, a blacksmith, and a poor man. He prosecuted the work of boring himself and struck a vein of oil at a distance of seventy feet. He lias been offered, it is said, $50,000 for his well, bnthas declined gelling on those terms. Goy.

Crinoline—a device by which one-haU of crea tion compass their ends.—Prentice. 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 Times, 13th. 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. Citizen. Telegraph Between Europe and the Uni ted States.—Wc learn from the merchant’s ex change books that the caution money of twenty ..... thousand pounds on the concession for the Nort Atlantic telegraph between Europe and the United States, for one hundred years, granted by the Dan ish government, was remitted ou the 10th of March to the Danish minister of finance at Copenhagen.— The line will proceed from Scotland and Denmark via the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, Labra dor to Canada aud the United States ; and its prac ticability has been recently demonstrated by a per sonal survey made by Col. Sehaffuer, who, on the 14th inst., gave evidence upon the subject before the committee of the British House of Commons, then in session.—Boston Traveller. Mississippi and Tennessee Road.—Work on this road is now progressing along the entire un finished portion of the line. It is expected that the whole road will be completed in some eighteen months. The Legislature of Mississippi has raised the taxes to seventy-five cents on each negro, in stead of forty as heretofore : and to twenty cents on each $100 worth of Land, inste/ld of sixteen cents. The City Council of Montgomery, Ala., have raised the license retailing lager beer from one hundred to two hundred aud fifty dollars. N«w Orleans, April 12.—The city to-day was thronged with strangers to witness the inaugura tion of tbe Clay monument. The procession was three miles long. The statue was unveiled amidst shoots, firing of minute guns, and the tolling of bells. The oration was delivered by Wm. H. Hunt. All of the business houses were closed. A Sweet Comforter.—An iutereating incident occurred soon after Mrs. Judson left Calcutta.— With health prostrated, surrounded by strangers and a long sea voyage before her, the weight of her loneliness and grief were at first insupportable. One day while in her cabin weeping, a soft little 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 ‘ at true mamma ?” right hand shall hold me. Is that The bearer of this timely precious word of hope washer little son. a boy of six years, who crept into the cabin unobserved Later from Havana. Savannah, April 12.—The steamship Isabel, with Havana dates to tbe 10th inst., touched off the bar, to land passengers and mail. At Havana, sugar was quiet. Muscovado was quoted at 7) a 9 reals.

The news of the raising of the siege of Vera Cruz by General Miramon has been fully confirm ed owing to the want of provisions and amunitions of war. Miramon lost two thousand ont of five thousand of his men. The loss in the city of Vera Cruz was trifling. The capture of tlie two steamers caused great excitement in Havana, and also in the city of Mex ico. In the latter city there was great feeling in favor of war with tbe United States. The sloop-of-war Brooklyn was at Vera Cruz on the 28 ult. Minister McLane was on board. Degollado has gone to Tampica to enter npon a campaign. Valdez, with twenty five hundred men, was de feated at Zapitulan. Valdez lost fifteen hundred men.

Washington, April 12.—In the Senate to-day the proposition made to adjourn during the con vention at Charleston was withdrawn. Several bills were passed, one of which was to incorporate the U. S.

Hartford, C’onn., April 4, 1860.—Retnrus from every town in the State gives Buckingham, Republican, for Governor 596 majority. The of ficial count, it is thought, will not vary the result much from these figures. The Republicans have 59 majority iu the House against 17 last year, and 7 majority in the Senate against 5 last year. 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. The Artesian Well at Reading, Penn., which has been some time in progress, for the large brewery, lias reacbed the depth of 1,700, feet being tlie third in depth in the United States.
