Hard up.— Some of the Richmond (Va.) pa. pars claim the re-election of Senator Mason to theU.S. Senate from Virginia, as a Union tri-; binpla ! This reminds us of the conduct of the "ill party of that name in one of the upparcoun j ties of Georgia, who procured a cannon the day tester the election, and, as the returns came in bred off their piece at the victory in every coun. tv—notwithstanding the States’ Rights party gained more than half of therfi. It is victory; victory ! ! any way. Magazines —We have received the Decem bei number of the “Buffalo Medical Journal’’ and the January No. of Holdens Magazine The first is a desirable work for the profession in the last we notice a promised improvement, viz: condensed articles.

Central Railroad. — We regret that wc neglected to notice the Annual Reports of this 1 Company before this time. The flourishing prospects of the Road are highly gratifying to all who wish to see the able managers and en terprising stockholders remunerated.

C., and committed in Augusta on Saturday, 14tli inst., for trial, for the murder of a man and his wife named Moore, in 1 hnmas County, Ga. They were on their way from North Carolina to Florida, and were killed by the blow of an axe, for the purpose of robbing them, which was done, it is supposed, by the accused, who was with them, and knew that they had a quaniity af money. A Queer Potatoe. — A gentleman the other day, says the Washington Republic, presented to us an Irish potatoe, of about three ounces weight, that is shaped like a heart, as perfectly as a heart was ever shaped in an any picture book in the world We asked him whore lie hail procured it, and lie replied that it had been picked up in a potatoe patch away down in the 8 late ol M nine, and was sent to this rent re of the Union, whither all the hearts in Maine tend. We do not know a great deal about the con. servatism of Maine, but we suppose that—unless hearts of the people are prepared to do usjuslice, and not to promise, it, —“the hearts of Maine ' will he a about as influential in saving this Union, „s this very potatoe will be It grew in free soil, and is as much of a heart so far as life, vigor etc. are concerned, as this is a Union in fact, when we are disunited in feeling, and one part of the country waging a hostile war upon the other. Adventurers look out. -President Buona parte says, in his recent message to the French Deputies, that he had sent a strong reinforce ment to assist the Spanish Government, on hearing of the movement to take possession of Cuba—and if another attempt is made, “Bony” will be “thar” to put in his demurrer to such enterprises. Adventurers will have to mee- Spain, France and doubtless England, too, if they capture this Island. However, Howell Cobb is going to do that business up brown in the next Campaign, under the name of Uncle Sam—so all the world had better not brag too much. Hurrah for Howell Cobb, Cuba and the Union ! ! Funeral of Hon. Rich'd M. Johnson —The obsequies of this aged and distingished patriot took place at Frankfort on 20th ult., and were attended with every demonstration ol respect • and sorrow. All legislative and executive busi ness was suspended, and nearly all the places of private business in the city were closed, in bon or of the occasion- The procession was largo and imposing. Another or Jenny Lind's Good Deeds The citizens of Calais, Me., were much pleas ed, and the heart of a needy inoman cheered, hv the receipt, on Tuesday, of a check on the bank j for S3OO, drawn by Miss Lind in favor of Sarah W. Clark, widow of tlie late Joseph N. Clark, i mate ofbarqtie Sophia of Calais,who was lost on j the 3d ofSeptember, in taking off the crew of the Swedish barque Johanna, which was in a sinking condition. Jenny will perform at Charloston on the26th inst.—Tickets from s3to $8 each. Fugitive arrest at C a ßist.E, Pa.— The Car lisle Herald says that Moses Jones, a colored ; man residing in that borough, was arrested as! a fugitive slave at the suit of Edward L. Fant, of Fauquier county, Va. Upon examination it was found that Moses did not answer, in any one particular, to the description of the alleged fugi tive, and he was accordingly discharged. Genuine.—Among other incidents at the late fire in San Francisco, the following is related by the Alta Californian, wirh is worthy of notice;: —“ln the midst of the fire, a mnn bore in his arms for some distance a keg of gunpowder, so much on fire that one of the hoops was burned off while he held it in his hands. He held the keg, however, until those about him advanced and pinched out the flames.” O' Cassius M. Clay is lecturing against the i Fugitive Slave Law in Cincinnatti. COURSE. OF* VIRGINIA. The following sensible remarks are taken from the Lyncburg (Va.) Republican, a South ern Rights paper of sterling merit. “We are opposed, however, to anymore reso lutions upon this subject, unless, bond and secu rity be given that they will be executed when adopted. The legislature has sworn enough in r landers, and should now act, or forever after wards hold its peace The miserable policy of adopting “patrotic” resolutions, just to hack out from, when the time to enforce them arises, is as disgraceful to a State as a similar blustering policy in an individual, and has done more to prostrato the cause of the South, than all other causes combined. Pass strong non-intercourse resolves it you please—do any thing to arrest if possible the tide of Northern aggression now tbreating us with ruin—but for mercy sake do not make Virginia say the fourth time that if so and so he done, she will do so and so at all hazards ! No more platforms, gentlemen, to he broken through when pressure conies.” Something must be done. But what is it ? Why, the North must stop her movements of aggression. But the Nor.lt plainly shows that site will not do that. How then ? The Georgia Convention says that the people will resist an attempt at the repeal of the Fugitive law. Let that resolution be carried out. “Resolves” to resist are worth no more to the South than the Cotton Union Meetings in the North, which say they will abide by the laws of the land—but yet will not offer a single arm to aid tile Southern master to recapture bis property. Let Georgia, Virginia, the South, and North do more, and talk and resolve less. agitation begun. We quote front the Savannah Morning News* “That miserable Marplot, as the N. Y. Ex press,caWa him, Joshua Gidihngs, has opened his batteries in the House against the Fugitive Slave Bill. In his speech on Monday last, he contended that the President had no right to ve to a bill repealing that act ; that the act itself was unconstitutional, and could not and ought not to be executed. Slavery was a State insti tution over which the general government bad no control, either to regulate, uphold or abolish. He contended that the citizens of the non-Blave holding States could not be constitutionally called upon to aid in the arrest or surrender of a fugitive slave. No power of this government could compel the people of the North to involve themselves in this crime. He said THAT THE LAW MOULD NOT BE AND HAD NOT BEEN ENFORCED IN NEW ENGLAND, NEW-YORK, OR THE WESTERN COUN TRY. THE PRESIDENT COULD NOT LN FORCE IT BY Ills ARTILLERY AND HIS BAYONETS, ANI) IK HE SHED A DROP OF BLOOD HE WOULD SOUND THE DEATH-KNELL OF THE UNION. “We are not disposed to attach any great de gree of importance to the declarations of such men as Gidihngs, though we have from the first doubted the possibility of enforcing the Fugi tive Slave Law. If it is enforced, the North must enforce it. If it is not enforced the Union cannot he enforced. The fate of the law and tile Union are in the hands of the conservatism of the North. Every true patriot will await the result with anxious interest.” We differ from the Editor of the News in re lation to the importance of Woolly-Head Gtn dings. He is aco partner of Seward, whose pirty recently succeeded in Ncw-York,and ern. bodies the sentiment of the Northern people as a mass And however obnoxious he may be to Southern npprobium, lie is but in the van of the Northern Abolition depredators,and has always been there. This same Fugitive Law has been already attacked in Congress, and if that body —by the instrumentality of its Free Soil major ty in the House and Senate, —does not repeal ( he statute, it will be because they expect to gull | the South into a caucus for another Northern President, a few more glorious Free States, a good working majority of fifty in the House, j tind ten or twelve in the Senate and then— Southerners! swear allegiance to the Northern | sceptre, to Northern print-piles and purses, or— the guillotine awaits you ! Employments —By the U. S. census of 1840, it was ascertained that there were,at that time in this country, 3,719,851 persons employed in agricultural pursuits; 791,959 in manufactures; 117,607 in commerce; 15,211 in mining; 56,021 navigating the ocean; 33,076 in internal naviga tion ; and 65,255 at the learned professions. American Apples.— In a letter in the Buf falo Comm'l Advertiser, from London, the wri ter says lie finds American apples are wanted. There have been no shipments for two years from abroad—ls,ooo bbls. will find immediate s ale, at good prices. Grace Greenwood, in a letter from Boston to the National Era, says that G. P. R. James Esq., has been in Salem, collecting materials for anew romance of the good old time, when elderly ladies, remarkable for personal plainness and of putting broomsticks to equestrain service, wore straightway removed from an indignant community by summary process. Mr. Junius Smith is still devoting his atten. tion to tea culture in South Carolina. The plants are now well established and are making rapid progress towards maturity. He has received, this year, direct from China, a large quantity of plants, which arrived in good condition, and almost all are living and doing well. Heap, pears very sanguine of success. The Worcester AEgis, a respectable and rclia. ble paper, says ; —“A gentlemen who came over in the same steamer with Thompson, the aboli tionist, as we are credibly informed, reports that Thompson during the passage did not con ceal that one of his purposes in visiting this country, at this time was to promote a disso lution of the Union /” A cargo of Kentucky tobacco, common quali. ty, lias been purchased at flrecmen for resliip inent to the United States—the present price here being much higher than in Bremen. It is on its way to Philadelphia, and has been sold at a profit of $1 50 to $2 per hundred. The Methodist denomination in Chicago have determined to establish a University itithat city, to he styled the North Western University. It is intended not only for Illinois, but for Wiscon sin and lowa. The Homestead exemption reported by the Committee of the Indiana Constitutional Con vention, is “not less than $1500.” ROM VS CATHOLICISM IX KXGLAXI). 1 be Protestants in England have become ex ceedingly alarmed at the extraordinary growth - of Ronianiam in that community, and have taken measures, or are about to do so, to check it.— I The following address to Queen Victoria in de fence of the Catholics, is said to have been left at the various Roman Catholic Churches for signatures. It is thought to he written by Card. 1 inal Wiseman : To the Queen's most Excellent Majesty — May it plc-ase your Majesty: We the under signed subjects of your Majesty, residing in England, and proiessing the Roman Catholic religion, beg to approach your Majesty s throne, there to express our sentiments of unimpaired and unalterable fidelity to your Majesty's Royal person, crown, and dignity. At a moment when attempts are being made to impeach our loyalty, we consider it a duty to give Iresli utterance to these our feelings. During centuries of exclusion from the privi leges of the constitution, and from the rights en joyed by their fellow subjects, the Catholics of England remained true to their allegiance to the crown of this realm, and yielded to none in their readiness, at all times, to defend its rights and its prerogatives against every foo. And now trial, under your Majesty's wise rule, we enjoy equal participation wi It others in the benefits of the constitution, we are more than ever anima ted with the same sentiments of fidelity and attachment, and are equally ready In give proof, whenever occasion may present itself, of the sincerity of our loyal professions. The dearest of the privileges to which Wc have thus been admitted by the wisdom of the British legislature, is that of openly professing and practising the religion of our fathers, in communion with the See of Rome. Under its teaching we hsve ever learned, as a most sacred loson, to give to Cttsar the things that are of Caesar, as w e give to God the things that aro of God. In whatever, therefore our Church lias at any time done for establishing its regular system ol government amongst its members in this island, we bt-g most fervently and most sincerity to as sure your Majesty thattbe organization granted to us is entirely ecclsiastical, and its authority purely spiritual. But it leaves untouched every title of your Majesty’s rights, authority, power, jurisdiction, and prerogative, as our sovereign, and as our sovereign over these realms, and does not in the leastwise diminish or impair our pro found reverence, our loyalty and attachment to your Majesty’s august person and throne; and wo humbly assure your Majesty that, among your Majesty’s subjects, there exists no class who more solemnly, more continually, or more fervently pray for the stability ofyour Majesty’s throne, for the preservation of your Majesty’s life, and for the prosperity of your Majesty's empire, than the Catholics of England, in whose religion loyalty is a sacred duty, and obedience a cliristain virtue. The barque Lexington arrived at Providence 11. 1.,0n Tuesday,from a whaling voyage in the Pacific. She lias been gone five years and four months, and returns with only forty barrels of sperm oil. Rather had luck. A company of New England men have pur, chased 350,000 acres of timber laud, on the Ka nuwha river, with a view of opening a heavy lumber trade with Ohio. Fifty cents an acre was paid. Forty New Englanders have gone forward to form the settlement. The fair of the Kentucky Agricultural and Mechanical Association, at Lexington, which t ook place lately, is described as one of tlie most splendid exhibitions of Kentucky art and indus try everseen in that State.

The scenery, pure w a ter, the great elevation above the level of the ocean, (being 450 feet above even the Tennessee line on the Western and Atlantic Railroad,) the convenience of access by Railroad, the refined and intellectual society, and pure atmosphere, have all most admirably conspired to render the location suitable for an establishment of the kind. i,i The Proprietor deems it needless so say any thing relative to the curative powers of either Water or Electricity, as the general mass of the people in this country have attained a know ledge of tiieir great value in removing disease. He flatters himself that he is able with pore Wafer and Electricity, to remove any character or des cription of disease that could, tinder other treat ment or circumstances, possibly be removed— together with a numerous host, that all other remedies must necessarily fail to remove.
