They tail me I’m mad, bat my heart is more glad
Than the hearts of tho thoughtless and gay,
Ter it dwells In the past, where the blight and tho
blast
Os tho present are driven away.
I ©an sing tbeo a lay of happier day.
I can smother my spirit’s dark strife,
And tell thee a tale or the sorrows that veil
My soul from the pleasures of life.
We’ll wander to night where the misty moonlight
Steals down liko a dream from the sky.
And the voice of my song, as it murmars along,
bhall revel in raptures gone by—
Recalling those hours of music and flowers
Which youth in its sunshine hath worn,
Bre they fled to the grave wiih the being who gave
A hue to the g! lory I mourn.
He will list to my voire when the bright stars re
And the moon o’er the silver aloud rolls;
He will si nile through the night from his dazzling
la the region of ransomed soils.
The* tell mo I’m wild, but my woes are begflliod
With visions f«r puter than they,
For I roam in a light where thedarknesiand blight
Os this life are ali banished away.
0! a beautiful place is the world, with her face
Unveiled in the smile of her God,
With her valleys and bowers, her altars and towers.
Where the feet cl lost ages have trod
Bat I long for the earth where this body bad birth,
To claim its poor ashes again,
£n& I love the deepgloem going down to the tomb
f Where my heart's only treasure was lain.
When day’s dying hour giveth forest and tower
A splenaor more brilliant than noon,
I muse by a grave where the sun gilded wave
Awaits the mild glance of the moon.
I vi w the warm sun til. bis journey is run,
And hiS fiery eye dimmed in the sea,
And memory brings one who went down liko the
SUB,
earth with ite shadows tome.
Yet I feel his deep eyes when the golden stars rise, j
And the moon through the silver cloud rolls,
And his vision moves bright o'er the glories of night,
In the kingdom of sinless souls.
And I feel that his love by the pure streams above
Never foldeth Its pinions to rest;
Fori know that the grave chains the body, a slave, j
That the mind may with freedom be bleet.

Increase in the Army.
«,.{ Public attention has at length been awakened
to the imperative necessity ol an increase in our
regular army. The crimes, cruelties, and butch*
eries committed on our defenceless lrontiers by
BKrowling bands of savages have at length touch
ed a responsive chord, and the press of the East,
North and South cordialiy re-echo the demands
oi their cotemporaries west of the Mississippi for
governmental aid and protection. The army, as
at present constituted with its skeleton compa
nies, does net exceed eight thousand rank and
file, and with this mere handiul of men the Sec
k retary of War is expected to look after the de
| fences of an ocean and gulf coast exceeding that
of the whole of Europe, and to protect interior
; frontiers ol greater extent than those of the colos
gt «al empire of Russia. The Secietary admits that
P row, in a state of peace with all foreigo powers,
| and with no immediate necessity to keep a large
> force on the Atlentic coast or the lake frontiers,
he is unable to j unish or even to hold in proper
check tho numerous bands ot hostile Indians who
intest and ravage our southwestern frontiers, and
who have marked the long lines of travel irom
Territory to Territory with rapine, fire, and
blood.
The Indian robberies and massacres, which
have now become of almost daily occurrence,
cannot with any color of (airness be attributed to
a want of foresight or proper management on
the part of the War Department, or to a want
cf efficiency on the part of the army. Secretary
Davis is known to the country not merely as a
distinguished civilian, but as a successful soldier;
and having received a military education, and
passed some of the best years of his life as a sub
altern officer at posts on our extreme frontiers,
his enlarged experience has unabied him to be
come tamiiiar with the defenceless state of the
couutry and the wants of the service. As to the
peraonnel of the army, it may be justly said of
its officers that they have shown to the world
t e example of conquest aad victories unreproach
ed by any cruelties or immoralities. On every
field in Mexico their valor was attested and
their fidelity approved. The perils cf battle, the
hard march, the toil of the camp, the nightly
guard, the tropical sun, the pestilence, the bard
ration and the scanty tare, were their daily ex
perience.
Our peace establishment is commanded by of
ficers w: o encountered all these hardships. They
as little heed uow, as then, such perilous fare.
They have not been rusting in inaction, nor are
they idlers at resorts ol fashion, or the places of
indolence and ease. The lrontiers ere their
homes. The long lines ol praries, and the plains
and the mountains, stretching from ocean to
ocean, are their places ot recreation and pleasure.
Their vicinage is neighborless for hundreds of
miles, and the wilderness and the Indians divide
them for years from their families and friends.
Can the pertonnel of such army deteriorate or
decay f We answer that the disease that wastes
the efficiency of the army is not inherent but
consequential. For years has the inefficiency of
the army, from the want oi numbeis, been de
monstrated by robberies unpunished,captives un
reclaimed, and massacres unavenged.
The Secretary of War has discharged his duty,
and not merely to his country and to the branch
of the public service over which he so ably pre
sides, but to the commonest dictates of humani
ty, by recommending an increase of the army.—
We presume that the same measure ot necessity
will be again pressed to Congress by the same of
ficer; and we sincerely trust that not many
weeks will elapse before a measure so impera
tively demanded for the protection of lite and
property of those who are at cnee the pioneers of
civilization and freedom will receive the sane
* . tion and approval of both houses ot Congress
A Libel on American Ladies. —We per
ecive that a Madame Fouteno, has published a
book in Paris, giving her experience in Ameica.
She paid particular attention to social habits, and
peculiarities, and, of course, favors us with rich
developments. What she saw was in New Y ork,
but she calls it ali “America;’’ and never seems
to doubt that in Vermont, Georgia and Illinois
(if she ever he?ird of these places) the same arti
ficial habile prevail. But we make a couple of
extracts to show her experience and her opin
ions. A ball in thus bit off:—
“The ladies, young and pretty, dreseed exceed
i*. ingly low in the neek, were worried about by
sombra-looking Yankees,dressed in funeral black,
like Mai brook’s page. These girls, under their
Irank manners, their ingenious forwardness, con-
P ceai a profound dissimulation, and a remarkable
egotism. Out of threa thousand, there is hardly
one capable of love.”
Out of a down similar statements, we take
the following which is attributed, word for word
to an American young lady :
“Love is r.diculous in America. A man, In
our own eyes, represents a certain quantity of
money—that is to say, of comfort and luxury.
We dont marry men, we marry tortues. Your wit
Mr. Juliien, your intelligence, your nrr.biirty, your
handsome face, will never obtain you an beir
/ ess in America. We never ask of a marrying-,
man any other question than this ? How much
aha worth'! A husband is not a lovjj—he is
only a man that pays our bills, keep* up our
house, and showers upon us wealth and the lux
uries that wealth procures.”
I»Wb trust that every reader knows this to be an
avowal, so lar as it claim* a national application,
utterly unfounded and unjust. There is no na
tion on the face of the globe—if vve may rely on
stat sties and the concordant opinion oi unbiased
men—where the requirements of genuine lose
are ao little set at naught among ua. Nowhere
else does station, fortune, avarice, and ail mer
cenary considerations, have so ii tie influence
upon matrimonial relations. It is our proudest
boast that as a nation of virituoui and loving
bodies. And a greater insult could not be heap,
fd upon at than it contained in the test extract
—s—a——a—w—Kwcw——mm—ss—»s
above. When that state of things comes to pass
the days of this republic will be desei vedly num
bered.—Portland Adv.

Labor Misapplied.
We commend the following article to the care
. iul attention of our readers. We can attest to
its justice, as well as admire the propriety of its
suggestions and the beauty of the language in
which they are clothed. We remember our
selves to have seen the exhibition once held in
this city a large Carpet, all ot worsted work, and
which had consumed, we don’t remember, and,
if we did, wouldn’t like to tell, how many long
years in the making, and yet which was, 1.
Worthless to tread upon ; 2. Ugly to look at, and
3. Only a wonder |#or its lacking every good
quality ot a really valuable carpet. This was a
striking example of the subject in hand—for oth
ers, read these paragraphs from t: M article allu
ded to, —a communication tjfrthe Ohio Cultiva
tor :
One part of the exhibition, with which many
were doubtless pleased, was fraught with painful
interest to us. We allude to the display of labor
misapplied in the creation of fancy bed quilts,
which must have required months of patience,
monotonous toil to complete thenr; and all for
what? For ajbedquilt, thereat value of which
was Qot at ail enchanced by this prodigal outlay
of precious time! They certainly evince a
preserving industry, worthy ot a better cause,
and which had it been directed in a nobler chan
nel. might have resulted in a more enduring
monument of the genious ana skill of the iairer
laborers. The time thus wasted in cutting cloth
into pieces, merely for the sake of stitebingthem
together agai-, it devoted to study with equal
zeal, would have enriched the mind with scien
tific truth for future use, thus extending the
sphere of thought, and giving new iuterest to
the daily avocations of life. It devoted to gard
ening, it might spread a robe of living beauty
around the pleasant retreats of home, gladdening
not only the loved ones, but causing the passing
stranger to pause and admire its loveliness, and
bless the hand which arranged its blooming
flowers, and trained its fragrant vines Let the
fair one who would create “things of beauty”
with which to adorne her home, throw aside the
senseless patch work, and spend her mornings in
the open air, cultivate fruit, flowers and vegeta
bles ; let her listen to the melody of the whis
pering breexeand gladsome birds.
“ And Deauty born ot murmuring sound
Shall pas 3 into her face,”
and the rose of health on her cheek shall rival
the freshness ot those she culti' ales. It she has
leisure tor fancy work, and skill to execute what
her busy brain conceives, let her
“Teach the canvas innocent deceit
Or lay the landscape on the snow sheet,
thus multiplying scenes of beauty on which
they will iove to linger with pleasure and profit.
Drawing and painting ere the offsprings of ge
nius and intellect, worthy the attention of the
young and fair, and though considered merely
ernametal accomplishments, by many, may have
a potent influence for good. Pictures convey
idtae to the minds of infancy and childhood,
even when words are unmeaning sounds, and
they have stirred the heart or the aged with
deep and power ul emotions which had a bene
ficial influence, and produced results as iasting as
life. It was but the musical influence of a pic
ture, which drew from Cowper’s heart his thrill
ing poem commencing
“On that those lips had language !”
which shall be read as long as the language in
which it is written continues to be the vehicle j
ot “thoughts that breathe and words that burn.” |
Such is the influence of spiritual and intellect- !
! ual beauty, which is calculated to refine and el- ■
evate the soul, and is deserving ot the attention
of those who are to be the educators of a future
generation. But that beauty which finds ex
pression only in fancy patch-work, is of no prac
tical utility, and seems unworthy of the atten
tion of an intelligent female.
[From the Frederick Citizen, Nov. 24 1
Mlm Bunkley
A young lady bearing this name passed
through Frederick last week, on her way home
to Virginia, accompanied by her father, and as
it was noised about that she was a “Sister of
Charity escaped from the Sisterhood,” near Em
mittsburg, with the false coloring and exaggera
tions which in these times commonly gather
around such rumors, the circumstance for a brief
moment excited some little interest among the
iovers ol romance. The true facts ot the case,j
as we learn from a reliable source are simply as !
follows:
Miss B. is irom Norfolk, Va., and a convert to !
the Catholic faith. She went to the Sisterhood
about two years ago on a visit and to make a
religious retreat. She then petitioned to be re
ceived, but on being advised to wait and con
sider the matter more maturely (it 'being a rule
of the society to admit none unless there is
strong assurance of marked vocation,} she re
turned home. A year after she renewed her
application and was admitted on trial. In this
capacity, as a mere probationer or novice, and
not a sister, Miss 8., resided at the sisterhood for
the last ten months or thereabout and was en
gaged in teaching &c. ( until Tuesday morning
the 9th instant a short time before the morning
bell, when she got out of tho window of her
chamber and departed. It is presumed, that sbe
contemplated taking the stage for Frederick,
which passes only a tew hundred yards from the
j Institution, but being disappointed in meeting
it, she proceeded on loot to Creagerstown, a dis
tance of six or seven miles. We understand
that she had always expressed herself as perfect
ly happy and even repeated this sentiment the
very day before she left. Why she adopted the
manner selected for leaving the Institution we
are unable to comprehend, unless as is most pro
bable she could not muster up moral couiage
enough to tell the Sisters her want of vocation
j for the benevolent and humble life they have
! embraced and persevered in, and theiefore con
j eluded to take French leave. We Jearn that
! Miss 8., if about 18 years of age—young, bloom
| ing and accomplished, but of a nervous tempera
ment.
In conclusion we will merely add that at any
other time this trivial incident would be unwor
thy of the space we have here given to it. It
is not a very rare thing tor a young lady who has
taken it into her head that she will become a
“Sister of Charity,” to falter and find herself un- j
suited to that arduous rite during the preliminary
months of probation which all have to undergo,!
! and in all such cases w here an intimation isgiv- :
en to the superior of the Sisterhood they are
cheerfully and kindly allowed to depart, as •
would Miss 8., if shi had only communicated ;
: her wishes to that effect. None are admitted as
j“ Sisters of Charity,” whose vocation for that!
; arduous life is not clear and satisfactory, and any j
; one alter becoming a Sister, is even free to leave
without reproach and without violating a single j
j rule ot the order, at the end of any year ot mem
' bership. The vows of the Sisters of Charity. |
are merely for one year, and renewed or not at i
; the pleasure ol the party.
The Teleokahh and tme War.— The Em- !
perorof Russia has one great advantage over his
adversaries in extensive telegraph commuica- j
j tions, almost to the scene of war in the Crimea, |
by which he reserves intelligence from the bat- j
; tie field several days in advance ot the allies.—
The Russian dispatches from the Crimea are i
sent by courier to Koursk in forty hours; they are i
transmitted Irom Koutsk to Moscow by the sig- !
nal telegraph,and from Moscow to St. Peters
i burg by magnetic telegraph. From St. Pe- !
: tersburg they are sent by the signal telegraph to
i Warsaw, and from Warsaw by electric telegraph 1
1 to Viena, Beilin, Hamburg, Paris and London. ;
The accuracy of early oewi through thisscource !
has been fully tested by subsequent advices, aud
the news from tne Crimea byway of St. Peters- ;
burg is more relied upon that the reports receiv
ed by the Governments of France and Great
Britain. The popular estimate of the val
ue of well regulated telegraphs has risen some
■ hundred per cent, since the commencement of
the war. The telegraphic lines between Vienna
and the nearest port on the Black Sea are now
neai ly completed, and it is semi-offiiatty announc
ed that the news will probably be transmitted
in a few days from Sevastopol to Paris within
the space of 48 hours. Thence it can be diffus
ed all over the continent instantly.
Our Railroad.— As last week, one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars are secured
upon our subscription books at this place tor trie
New Market and Aiken connection vt« Edge
field C. H (We always italicize the “via Edge- :
field C. H.” because that to us is thß very jist of
the whole matter.) By a letter just received
from a friend at New Market, (which, by the
way, should have come to hand more than a
week ago) we learn that fifteen thousand dol
lars was subscribed there at their meeting In
November. How muab more has been subscri- !
I 1
bed since, we have been unable to discover. It
is believed that enough may be obtained to save
the charter. If not, an extension of time will
he asked from the Legislature.— Edgefield Adver
tiser.
Liquor Laws of Georgia. —The Wilkes
Republican says: There is a law upon our statute
book which, though ot comparatively recent en
actment, has, no doubt, been overlooked by nine
out of every ten lawyers in the State, and of
which the people.especially merchants, are whol
ly ignofant, for there is not a town or village in
the State where it is not daily and openly vio
lated. We allude to the act of 1838 to regulate
the sale of spirituous liquor-, to be found in
Cobb's Digest, page 1039. It is the general im
pression that our penal statutes all refer to the
retail of liquors in quantifies less than one* quart,
which is a great error. The act in question pro
hibits its sale in quantities less than a gallon, ex
cept on certain conditions, a failure to comply
with which on the part of the vender, subjects
him to “ali the pains and penalties which a per*
son retailing without license is now subject to
by law.”
It is unnecessary to copy the entire act, aud
we give only those sections that bear immediate
ly upon the point under consideration. Alter
reciting the oath to be taken and subscribed, be
fore the Clerk of the Inferior Court, by a person
applying for a Retail License, the Act proceeds
as follows:
Sec. 111. From and after the first day of June
next, and annually thereafter, each aud every
person who may or shall become a vendor cf any
measure or quantity lets than one gallon of distill
ed spiri uous or intoxicating liquor, shall and are
hereby required to take and subscribe the above
and toregoing oath.
Sec IV. Upon the neglect or refusal of any
person so required to take and subscribe the
above and toiegoir.g oatb, each and every per
son so neglecting or refusing, shall b» aud here
by made liable and subject to ali the pains and
penalties which a person retailing without li
cense is now subject to by law.
The Fatal Duel in California— Further
Particulrra. —lt was stated iu the California
news, published yesterday, that Coi. D. J
Wood lief had beeD killed in a duel by Achilles
Ke wen. The unlortunate affair originated from
a political dispute, Woodlief having charged
Kewen with beinga Know-Nothing, whereupon
the latter struck him, but subsequently tendered
an apology, which was refused. A challenge
was then given by Woodlief. and accepted by
Kewen. The friends ot the lorrner were Capt
Skerrett and Major McDonald, and ot the latter
Wake Biiarly and Robt. Wood. The weapons
were Mississippi rifles. The Alta California
says:
The ground was marked off, forty paces, the
principals took their places, and on the word
• fire” being given, both wheeled and fired, the
ball from Mr. Kewen’s rifle passing completely
through the heart of Col. Woodlief and out at
his back, killing him instantly. It is said that
the unfortunate man did not live ten seconds
after receiving the wounds. The body of the
Colonel was brought over to the city in the ferry
boat, and taken to the Tehama House. The
scene, wheu the wife of the dead man looked
upon ell that remained of the former partner of
her joys and soirows, whose silver thread of life
was so abruptly cut, and who, but a few short
hours before had gone forth in the strength end
piime of manhood, is said to have been affecting
in the extreme.
It is 3aid that Col. Woodlief made his will on
: Tuesday evening, leaving all he possessed to his
I widow. Mrs. Woodlief aceompan ed her hus-
I band on the occasion, and stopped in San Anto
i nio while the party went out to fight. She re-
I turned with the body.
g*Devereux J. Woodlief was born in Greenville
county, Virginia, and moved to Texas more than
twenty years ago. He was elected a colonel in
the Texan army, and was in active service du
i ring the revolution there. Subsequently he was
I one ot the Texas Rangers. During the Mexican
i war be accompamed the American forces as an
! amateur warrior and was distinguished for the
independent method in which he took his posi
tions during the battles, and the accuracy of his
markmanship. He had been engaged in a num
ber of duels, has been wounded a number of
times in batile, and carries to his grave three
bullets in his body. He came to California in
1849, and was collector of foreign miner’s tax in
Calaveras county. Col. Woodiief leaves a broth
er, a wealthy met chant in New Orleans. With
the brother resides a daughter of the deceased, 12
| or 13 years of age.
The Fayetteville N. C. Observer, of the 4th
instant, says: #
“ We learn Irom Raleigh that it is understood
Governor Reid will to-day accept the office ol
Senator, and vacate the Gubernatorial chair, and
that, in accordance with a written opinion of the
late Chief Justice Ruffin, the Speaker of the
Senate (Warren Winslow, Esq.J will ‘‘ exercise
the powers of the Governor,” without vacating
his Speakership or his seat in the Senate. Such
wi'l be the decision of the majority of the Sen
ate.
“ By the Constitution, the Speaker of the Sen
ate does not become Governor, and vacate his
Senatorship ; but he merely, by virtue of his of
fice of Speaker, “exercises the powers of the
Governor.” If therefore he should resign bis
office of Speaker, he could not exercise the pow
ers oft he Governor. That is the difference be
tween this case and that in which one officer (a
Vice President for instance,) succeeds absolutely
to a vacated office.”
Vicissitudes of Fortune. —A writer in the
London Economist, sums up a very able article
on Napoleon 111, as follows :
“ The same man who landed at Boulogne in
1840, with a single steamer and a few friends,
I on a desperate and abortive expedition, revisits
it in 1854, to review a vast army and receive
the homage of countless spectators. The same
man who six years ago lived in obscurity in
London, scarcely able to pay his tailor’s, and
quite unable to pay his horse dealer’s bill—whom
many looked upon as stupid, and whom none
looked upon as wise, of whom few augured well,
and whom few would trust much, we have just
seen receiving the visits and compliments of the
consort of our Queen, entertaining three royal
i guests at his table, one ot them the son-in-law
j of the very monarch whom he had succeeded,
and admitted beyond ail denial into the social
j circle of royal personages. Nor is this change in
I his singular fortunes the only one, nor perhaps
the gseatest. We can imagine him smiling with
even a more grim satisfaction as he contrasts the
language of the English press regarding him in
1852 and nowjgiittng with the Times or the
j Examiner, of December, 1851, or of August,
I 1854, belore him, and marvelling at the meta
morphosis, the unmeassured abuse which was
1 showered upon him at the former date, and the
: decorous respect and cordial praise with wthich
I he is spoken of now. The ’swell’ and the san
| guinary and audacious ruffiiau’ is now the polite
! and sagacious Emperor, and tete-a-tete with
j Prince Albert and King Leopold.”
Expanding the Chest. —Those in wealthy
i circumstance, or who pursue sedentary employ
j merit within doors, generally use their lungs but
very little, breathe but very little into the chest,
and thus, independently of positions, contract a
wretchedly narrow small chest, and lay the foun
dation for the loss of health aud beauty. All
i this can be perfectly obviated by a little atten
tion to the manner of breathing. Recollect tbs
i lungs are like a bladder tn their construction,
j and can be stretched open to double their ordi
nary size, with perfect immunity tromconsump
| tion. The agent, and the only agent, required is
i the common air we breathe, supposing, however,
that no obstacle exists external to the chest, such
as lacing, or tying it around with stays, or tight
dress, or haviog shoulders lay upon it. On ru
ling in the morning place yourself in an eract
postuie, your chest thrown back and shoulders
entirely off the chest; now inhale or suck in ell
the air you can, so as to fill the chest to the very
| bottom of it, so that no more can be got in ; now
hold your breath and thow your arms off behind,
holding in your breath as long as you please.
Done in a cold room is much better, because the
«ir is much denser and will act more powerfully
!in expanding Jibe chest. Exercising the chest
in this manner will enlarge the capacity and size
1 of the lungs.— Common School Advocate.
I The Fayetteville, N. C., Observer, of the 4th
| inst., says;
“ A letter from New York this morning men
tions a report that the Bank of Fayetteville had
failed. This is a shameful slander. The Bank
had not only met, and still meets, all demands,
but it is bappiiy in a situation to extend more re
lief by discounts, than it has felt it prudent to do
for s: me time past. We understand that it dis
counted quite iiberaily last week.”

SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 10.
Report of the Secretary of the Treasury. 1
The Secretary of the Treasury in his annual |
report, states the receipts of the fiscal year end
ing on the 30th of June, 1854, from ali sources j
to be $73,549,705, which with the balance in the
Treasury on the Ist of July, 1853, $21,912,892,
give a total tor the year of $95,492,597. The re
ceipts last year was $61,337,574. * The expendi
tures for the year have been $75,354,030, leav
ing a balance in the Treasury on the Ist of July ;
of $20,137,967. The expenditures last year
were $54,026,818. The receipts for the quarter
ending Saptembor 30th, 1854, are $21,527,302
against $21,356,278. The estimates tor the re
maining three quarters of the fiscal year are $42,- J
500,000. The estimated receipts lor the three
corresponding quarters of last year were S4O,- j
300,000. The amouat of public debt outstanding
on the Ist of July, was $47,180,508. Showing
a payment of $25,220,579 within the fiscal year, j
The Secretary anticipates a falling* off in the
customs, owing to the Reciprocity Treaty and
short crops. The tonnage of the United States
exhibits an increase for the year of 395,892 tons.
The imports for the year are $26,321,217, in ex
cess of the exports. The flattering state of the
revenue indaces the Secretary again to call the
attention of Congress to the propriety of reduc
ing the revenue from customs. He recommends
but three rates of duty, 100, 40 and S 5 per cent., !
in place of the eight schedules at present in use.
The recommendation for the repeal of the fishing
bounties is reviewed. The subject of drawback
duties on refined sugar is also recommended to
the consideration of Congress. The Secretary
gives a statement of the currency, which makes
the total amount of gold and silver coin iti cir- !
culation on the 30th of September, 1854, at I
$211,000, against which there is a total bank cir- j
culation of $204,688,209. He expresses an op
position to the circulation of notes of sftiall de- i
nomination.

The Lancaster Ledger, of the 6tb instant, j
says:
44 On Wednesday night last, an unknown per
son came to the house of Mr. Arant, in Chester- :
field district, near the Lancaster line, and called
him out as if on business, and while Mr. A. was
standing the porch he was shot through the
lungs. He lived until Friday. The assassin has
not yet been discovered.”
The Columbia Times of Friday says:—“As
the Charleston train of cars were passing near
the foot of Richardson-street yesterday afternoon,
a man rushed out of a pine thicket on the edge
ol the road and threw himself across the track
Before the engine could possibly be checked, he
was caught by the cow-catcher and dragged
along the road for about twenty-five yards and
then fell off. Whether the cars passed over him
or not, we did not ascertain; he was dreadfully
mutilated, however.

The statement which has appeared in many
of the papers to the effect that an order had been
received prohibiting any further enlistment of
persons not native Americans into the marine |

listments take place every day at the yard in j
Charlestown of persons of foreign birth or pa
rentage.
A meeting of the dentists ot New York city
was hel 1 on Monday evening, in reference to the
case of Dr. Beale. The explanation of the lat

far as the action of chloroform upon the system
is concerned.
A destructive fire occurred at Black Rock, a

Columbus Railroad Subscriptions. —On
Monday last, the people of Columbus voted by a
very decided majority in favor of the subscrip
tions proposed by the City Council, to the Mo
bile and Girard, and Montgomery and West
Point Railroads. The evening of the same day
Council met, and made the subscriptions—slso,-
000 to the first, and $50,000 to the latter road.
Another Bans Defaulter. — A teller in one
of the oldest banking bouses at Chicago is said
to have disappeared, being defaulter to an amount
ranging from $40,000 to $70,000.- It is supposed
to have been squandred in gambling.
At its recent session, the Methodist Confe

The BandersviUe Georgian.
This excellent, weekly of which P. C. Pen- ;
dleton, Esq-, has recently become the editor, we
observe is hereafter to be published simultaneous
ly in Sandersvilie and Sparta. In announcing
the new arrangement, the editor says the paper
will be considered the local medium for com
munication with the public as much of the one
place as the other. A portion ot the paper will
be exclusively devoted to Sparta, local news
items, communications and advertisements
Editorial assistance having been engaged in Spar- ;
ta the more completely to carry out this arran
gement.
The Georgian is au ably conducted and in- j
fluential journal, and already enjoys a very large
circulation, particularly in the counties lying be- j
tween this city and Milledgeville. Itthereloreol- ’«
fers a valuable advertising medium for our mer
chants, who desire t > extend their business ac
quaintance in that direction.
Operations or thb Philadelphia Mint.—
During the past month the purchase of silver at
the Philadelphia mint amounted to $405,900.
The coinage of gold for the same time, principal
ly in gold dollars and quarter eagles, was $529,-
299. The coinage of silver, principally in half
dollars and dimes, amounted to $288,000. The
receipts of California gold amounted to only
$825,200, and from other sources to $4,153. This
falling off is attributed to the operations of the
New York Assay office and the California mint.
Total receipts of gold at the Philadelphia mint
for the last [el van months $32,515,929, against
$48,298,552 in the same time last year.
Unfortunate Occurrence jn Chester.—
We learn (says the Wirisboro’ Register,) that on
j the evening of the 3rd instant, a man by the
i name of Wm. C. Leggings was dangerously
stabbed by one Charles A. Murrell, in a quarrel
; about some trifling matter. Murrell made hi*
! escape to Columbia by the Freight Train, and
i probably not knowing that the Telegraph con
! veying the intelligence was travelling the same
| road, he was captured soon after his arrival in
I Columbia.
Mr. Soule. —The London Examiner, the
; leading liberal paper in England, in one ol its
late issues, received by the last steamer, uses the
; following language in referegee to Mr. Soule :
“As we last week anticipated, the French
Government has found it impossible to sustain its
refusal of the right of innocent passage to Mr.
Soule through its territories; and having com
mitted a great absurdity, has, on second thought,
made the amende honorable to the American di
! plomatist. The excuse is that the relusal was
founded on a supposition that Mr. Soule meant
| to take up his residence in Paris, whereas, it now
j finds out that his indention was only to pass
I through that capital, en route for Madrid. But,
j surely ali this prying sensibility on the part of
a great nation, like France, is most unworthy.
Mr. Soule, it seems, from his first entrance across
i the Spanish frontier into France, was dogged
| with spies to an extent alternately annoying and
; amusing,and when this unpleasant surveillance
was represented to Mr. Drouin de I’Huys, that
able and courteous minister could only express
j regret for that which he was not himself respon
sible for, and felt thoroughly ashamed of. Thus
the French Government has made itself supreme
| ly ridiculous, and Mr. Soule, a personage of in
| finite importance—which was what Mr. Soule
| wanted.

The Chamber of Commerce and the Malls.
A a special meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday, convened for the purpose of
considering the Mail arrangement* after the first
I of January, prefaced by a few forcible and perti
; nent remark*, Col. A. O. Andrews introduced
the following Resolutions, which were seconded
; by Smith Mowry, Jr., Esq.
Resolved, That this Chamber respectfully, but
earnestly, recommend to the Postmaster General
the eonveyanceof the great Northern and Wes
tern Mails, eft-'r the first of January, by a line of
steamers between Wilmington and Charleston,
’and also by steamers between Charleston and
Savannah.
Resolved, That the Chambers of Commerce of
I Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans be forth
j with respectfully invited to unite with this body
j in the foregoing recommendation.
The venerable Ch irles Edmondston. Esq., then
arose and supported the Resolutions in an elo
quent, well considered and effective address. The
Resolutions were unanimously adopted.
John Heart, Esq , then introduced the follow
i ing Resolution, the adoption ot which by the
| Chamber was also unanimous :
Resolved, That the Postmaster General be
earnestly requested to provide for the convey
ance of the mail between Charleston and the
interior of the State of South Carolina and points
connecting therewith.
On motion, it was
Resolved, That the above resolutions be pub
; lished, and that they be telegraphed to the Hon
| orable Postmaster General and the Chambers of
| Commerce named.
Exertions were made to telegraph the pro
! ceedings to the Post office Department at Wash
! ington, but they have as yet been ineffectual, the
j wires being out of order.
We regard this action of the Chamber as most
I judicious, and as presenting the only feasible plan
j for securing our mail facilities after the Ist Jan
uary—that is to say—if the existing difficulties
! between the Department and the Railroad are
j not previously arranged. Our experience in re
\ terencetotbe Wilmington boats, leads us to be
j lieve that we should not be in any worse con
j dition by a return to them. The" transmission
! of the mails horn thiscity to Savannah, also by
I steamers, would not be disadvantageous in any
point of view. It is infinitely preferable to a
Horse mail, which must not be endured. Besides,
i financially, we should suppose it far more econo
mical to the Department, than this odious alter
j native.
There are many collateral benefits, which we
need not specify, that would enure to our city
from the conveyance by steamers. The cities all
South of us are as deeply interested as ourselves
in this matter, and their co-operation has very
properly been invited by the Chamber.
We sincerely trust that the Post Office De
partment will evince it* desire to discharge its
obligations, not only to us, but to the whole
Southwest, by a ready adoption of the plan indi
cated in the resolutions.
We are unwilling to suppose the Postmaster
General indifferent to our accommotion, in a mat
ter so vital to us, as the speedy conveyance of our
mails,and anxiously and confidently await the
acquiescence of that officer.

Singular Escape.—The Newburyport Herald
of last Friday week, says:
As the Portland train was passing through
South Maiden on its way to Boston, on Thurs
day.afternoon, a Scotchman who complained of
being sick and was consequently allowed by the
conductor to go into the saloon, fell out of the
car beside the track while the train was running
at the rate of forty miles an hour. A brother of
the man, who was attending upon him, came to
the conductor and told him that hi* brother, in
reaching out of the window, had iost his balance
and fallen outward. The story seemed so un
likely that it was not believed till person* went
into the saloon and found the man missing. Mr.
Cram, the conductor, with some reluctance, as
some gravel train* were behind him coming’on,
alter sending out his Flagmen and stationing
others upon the rear car, to warn advancing
trains, backed the train a mile and a half to the
spot where the man fell from the window, and
found him sitting beside the track, unhurt,’ and
not even a bruise or a scratch upon him. Con.
•idering the great speed at which the train was
running at the spot, and the seize of the man
who weighs about 190 pounds, it is really a
wonderful escape It may be that the high speed
of the tram was his safety, and falling close be
side the car the wind of the passing train per
traps bouyed him up to some extent, and droo
ped bun upon the ground as gently a, a feather.

ney, said he would give him credit for the
amount and if the world should actually come
to an end as predicted, the debtor might consider
