The vote on the ratifi cation tales place 26th March next. Connecticut.—The Democratic State Con vention of Connecticut nominated Ex-Govemor Wn^iinh for Governor, last Friday. At the present time there are one hundred and seventeen ocean steamers making regular trips between the United States and ports in Europe, not one of which bears the American flag. Florida. Being Sold Out.—The Florida In dependent publishes eight columns of Alachua county Sheriffs sales. A few years more of Badioal rule and the whole State will be under the Sheriff’s hammer. «. / ““ Gen. Lee’s health has suffered somewhat of r late years, and by the advice of his physicians and friends he contemplates a visit to Europe during the present year. The old World will be honored by the presence of the greatest captain of the age. More Returned Brazilian Emigrants.—The British steamer Kakaia arrived in New York on the 21st from Rio de Janeiro, with one hundred and twenty emigrants from the South to BrazQ, sent back by the Brazilian government. They were under great disgust, but report the emi grants who went from the South with means, have all done well, especially those who settled it^ the department of San Palo. The passen gers were without comfortable clothing and suf fered much from the inclement weather. The Fall in Gold.—The New York papers of the 22J, report a temporary rise in gold, growing out of the passage of the House reso lution calling upon the Committee on Banking and Currency to report a bill to issue $50,000,- 000 more currency. It is a fair presumption, therefore, that the decline in gold to 11GJ, on Thursday, was due to the passage of the Sen- ato resolution on that day formally declaring against any expansion of the volume of cur rency. Personal—Coal Mines.—We were pleased to meet, a few days since, Mr. Chas. H. Beattie, late of England. Ho is a mining engineer, and came here at the solicitation of Capt. John H. King to prospect in the coal mines west ofOal- ton. After testing the coal mines Mr. Beattie at onee decided that there was plenty of coal, and arrangements are being made to sink a shaft, procure an engine and the necessary machinery to reach it without further delay. He thinks he will have plenty in market by Au gust. Gen. McMahon, our late Minister to Para guay, lectured in New York the other evening, on Paraguay. He defended Lopez from the charges of cruelty and inhumanity. He said the Paraguayan soldiers were the best soldiers he over saw. Lopez, he said, now occupies an impregnable position in the Cordilleras, with a force sufficiently strong to overturn the weak Provisional Government at Asuncion. Such being the case we may expect that he will ere long show his hand. Through Sleeping Cabs.—The Chattanooga Times of*yesterday says: “J. W. Thomas, Su perintendent of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, and W. J. Ross, Superintendent of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, were in the city yesterday to make arrangements for running sleeping cars from their roads to At lanta, without bringing them into the depot. Mr. Thomas informed us that there was no blockade at Nashville, but that they wero hav ing some trouble about getting their cars back from the South.” A Bad Color.—A London paper recently hurt the feelings of an artist by saying that his pic ture had “two much orcho in it.” As the paint ing was a twilight scene, partially gray in color, the artist saw a chance to read the critic a les son, which .Jie did by advising him to leam something about colors before he undertook art- criticism. “There was no orche whatever in my picture,” wrote the indignant artist. The critic, knowing that a soft answer tumeth away for an item, informs its readers that he has seen “a olever looking young man all the way from Maine who comes down to these parts to prac tice law.” Run for office, you mean. Personal.—The numerous friends of our fel- wrath, replied that the “orcho 1 mediochre ! Postal AflUm in OMifia.

Comments by the Tribune: Tho author of the above assertion that we have placed in ital ics is a liar—a graceless, shameless, villainous, detestable liar. t Wo believe the courtly Chesterfield of the Tribune occasionally disoourses, with great con tempt, of the blackguardism and bad-breeding of the Southern press. “The Unklndest Cut of All.” Commenting npon the case of poor Brother Whitteniore, of the Northern Methodist Church, who was kicked out of Congress, Thursday, the Tribune uses the words printed below. If any pestilent “rebel” ever applied a more stinging cataplasm of depreciation to tho backs of the C. B.’s, we are not aware of it: We have not always spoken in reverence of the “carpet-baggers;” we have, indeed, hinted once or twice to the enthusiastic partisans who complained of our old-fashioned idea that the majority must eventually rule, at tho South as well as elsewhere, that no party that ever lived could undertake tho responsibility for some of them; but, after all, we had rated them some thing higher than this. Who Wants a Boss Weaver ? Rockfobd, February 21, 1870. Editors Telegraph and Messenger : I am a boss weaver, doing very well at present, but wishing to leave this cold climate, (it was twelve degrees below zero this morning,) and go South. You would do me a great favor by giving me some manager’s name where there is weaving. I am at home on shirting, sheeting, grain bags, cheeks, etc. I send you onr local paper. Address Thomas F. Hall, Caro of Graham & Co., Rockford, Ill. The Courier-Journal.—Somebody on this paper is keeping up its old repute for sb&ip-shooting very creditably. The following are fair u&mplcs of its latest shots: Mrs. Edward McCook, acting Governor of Colo rado, is working like a dray-horse for woman suf frage in that territory. Her husband, acting Lieu tenant Governor—particularly in liia wife's family— is also an advocate of the samo sort of nonsenso. He hasn’t got Ihe strength of character, it would seem, to be anything else under tho circnm stanoes. In a letter to a New York paper “ General G. Clnseret” says, “at last the French people have protested against Napoleon HI.” But they have done nothing of the sort. Rochefort and his ragged followers are no more tho people of France than the carpet-baggers and scalawags are tho peo ple of theSonth. Speaking of a female member of the Cabinet, “Jenkins” says “her powdered hair and Greek pro file take you back to the days of Louis XIY.” If through iheao agencies she will t&ko the entire ad ministration back to the days of Lonis XIV and leave it there, her oountry will owe her a debt of gratitude it can never repay.
