[From the Spirit ofthe Times.] The Bear and the Boar. The following amusing scene was related to the author of “Passional Zoology,” by one who took a part in it: “We are crossing,’’ says he, -‘the vast pine forests of California, so remarkable for the ab solute silence which reigns under their vaults. One day as we approached the edge of one of those immense glades with which these sombre forests are pierced, and where the resinous trees yield to other fragant scents, we heard quite near us a growling, which seemed to come from above our heads, and which my companion, a Western hunter ofthe old stock, recognised at the first note for the voice of a bear ; and we forthwith made ourselves small, and glided through the bush wood to try to discover the place where the animal was perched. “A second growl of anger, deeper toned than the first, and which seemed to be followed by another growl of interior satisfaction, calls our eyes towards a gigantie persimmon, situated about twenty yards from us, and whose houghs and shade are the scene of a comical drama. “The two personages of whose conversation we have caught a few phrases in our passage are a bear and a wild boar. The first, a gentleman of the largest size, is perched on a great branch of the persimmon, and is eagerly occupied with gathering the persimmons. But the fruit being perfectly ripe, and adhering quite loosely to their stems, it happens that the most delicious fall like hail on the ground at the least shake that the heavy animal gives the bough, which greatly discomfits the bear and provokes from him oaths of impatience, but for the same reason charms the wild boar epicure, posted at the foot of the tree, and who at each shower of persimmons manifests his satisfaction by’ a very decided grunt. “About the moment we appeared upon the scene, the irritation ofthe bear had already risen to cherry red, and it was easy to perceive that it would not he long in reaching a white heat. ‘Oh ! an excessively pleasant idea,’ whispers the spiritual child of Tennessee into my ear. ‘Sup pose we profit by the cordial ill-will that these two beasts bear each other, to set them on a death fight.’ ‘How so ?’ ‘Let us see ; the method is very simple ; one of vour two barrels is loaded with small shot—just put it for me in the fleshiest part of that fellow’s body ;’and he pointed with his finger through the leaves at where I should hit. “I know the hear,” added he; ‘when he has got one idea in his head, he has not got it any where else, and as he has been wishing much harm to that boar for the last quarter of an hour, no one will persuade him but that it is the wild boar that lias shot at him, and then you will see him jump upon the supposed aggressor, and take vengeance for the bloody joke. I tell y r ou we shall have a laugh.’ ‘ Quick done, as said, I tickle the hairy beast in the right spot. The beast’ has hardly felt himself stung, when he gives himself up to his fury, and falls like a bombshell upon the unfor tunate boar, not less innocent of the fault than surprised at the aggression. The duel did not last long. The conquering bear prostrated his rival and set about tearing him to pieces, but af fected not to perceive that his enemy, before dying, had opened his side with a terrible gasit of his tusks. His strength soon deserts him, however, and he totters and doubles up on the body of the slain boar. ‘And it is thus,’ modest ly concludes the narrator, ‘that 1 have acquired the right to boast of having killed a black bear and wild boar at one shot, and with No. 7 ! ” The Flogging of a Prince. The London correspondent of a North Ger man paper relates a story with regard to the way in which Prince Albert disciplines his chil dren, which the Tribune translates as follows: “The young prince stood one day in his room in the royal palace at Windsor, at the window, whose panes reached to the floor. He had a lesson to learn by heart, but instead was amus ing himself by looking out into the gardens and playing with his fingers on the window. His governess, Miss Hillyard, an earnest and pious person, observed this, and kindly asked him to think of getting his lesson. The young prince said : ‘I don’t want to.’ ‘Then,’ said Miss Hillyard, ‘I must put. you in the corner.’ ‘I won’t learn,’ answered the little fellow resolute ly, ‘and won’t stand in the corner, for I am the Prince of Wales.’ And as he said this, he knocked out one of the window panes with his foot. At this, Miss Hillyard rose from her seat and said : ‘Sir, you must learn, or I must put you in the corner.’ ‘I won’t,’ said he, knocking out a second pane. The governess then rang, and told the servant who entered to say to Prince Albert that she requested the presence of his Royal Highness immediately on a pressing matter connected with his son, The devoted father came at once, and heard the statement of the whole matter, after which he turned to his little son, and said, pointing to an ottoman, ‘sit down there, and wait till 1 return.’ Then Prince Albert went to his room and brought a bible. ‘Listen, now,’ he said to the Prince of Wales, ‘to what the holy Apostle Paul says to you and other children in your position.’ Here upon he read Galat. iv, 1 and 2: ‘Now I say that the heir, so long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be beloved of all; but is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.’ ‘lt is true,’ continued Prince Albert, ‘that you are the Prince of Wales, and if you conduct properly you may become a man of high station, and even after the death of your mother, may be come King of England. But now you are a little boy, who must obey his tutors and govern ors. Besides, I must impress upon you another saying, of the wise Solomon, in Proverbs xiii. 24 : ‘He that spareth his rod, hateth his son ; but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. Hereupon the father took out a rod and gave the heir to the throne to the weightiest empire of Christendom a very palpable switching, and then stood him up in the corner, saying. ‘You will stand here and study your lesson till Miss Hillyard gives you leave to come out. And never forget again that you are now under tu tors and governors, and that hereafter you will be under a law given by God.’’ This adds, the correspondent, is an excellent Christian mode of education, which every citizen and peasant who has a child may well take to his heart as a model. ’ It may be proper to add that the younster who is represented to have receivedthis patern al admonition is but 11 years old. David Fender “popping the question” in a let ter, concluded thus: “And should you say, ‘yes,’ dear Mary, l will truly be your D. Fender.’’ Mrs. Partington wants to know why they don’t bring the whole of China over at once, instead of bringing it in junks. Woman’s Rights. The question which has got the title of Wo man’s Rights, is really becoming an important one. It has allied itself to abolitionism and al most every other rickety and crazy Ism which has signalized the nineteenth century. At the same time it is such an eloquent ism ; talks so well ; looks so bewitching in its Bloomers ; cuts its hair into such a piquant shape, varying the masculinity of the style by occasional ‘ beau catchers”—and altogether is such a smart, go ahead, loquacious, spunky, lively, plucky little ism, that it has obtained universal attention, and may flatter itself in having afforded hearty amusement to the scribes of this and every other country—ourselves included. Imagine the Rev. Antoinette Brown pitching into the slaveholders and those “brutes” of men! A bright-faced, quick-eyed little woman, with a genuine bust —no padding or puffing, but real red and white flesh—working herself into a precarious perspiration, and endangering the strings of her stays in her efforts against tyran ny of every shape, whether we call it matri mony or flirtation—warring on such an juno cent symbol as a wedding-ring—embracing celibacy, and beating back the devils of house hold felicity (including the “little ones’’) almost as fiercely as Luther and Saint Anthony—and all the while thinking that she is a reformer, an original character, a thinker, a Theodore Parker in pantaloons, or a Horace Greeley in gussets ! Poor Antoinette ! so beautiful, so eloquent, so young ! She imagines that she is doing a won derful thing in resisting her natural tendency to connubiality, whereas, every Toman, from fif teen to twenty, has to do the same, with this difference, that she has the good sense not to proclaim it from platforms, or publicly celebrate her continence. What a pity it is that some stout and sensible New Englanderdoes not take Antoinette quietly in his arms—whisper the magic “will you have me?”—silence her theories with a kiss, and—“brute of a man’’ as he may bo—teach her to appreciate the story of Beauty and the Beast, that |)ie may understand how the rough-coaied horror of the morning can take the form of a Prince at night! And, then, Lucy Stone ! another quick, capa ble, intelligent, and really good-looking woman ! How terrible is the fact that she will not under stand that ringlets are a part of woman’s rights, and a “good head of hair’’ more invaluable any day than a “mission.’’ What, in the name of cream-cheese, cookery, and all the etceteras, does she want with that mission ? The sooner she gets rid of it the better. She would make a capital wife. We would almost venture on taking her ourselves. And we have no doubt that, with a little sensible education, she could manage even a Southern house pretty well, though she might whip the “niggers,” when in bad temper, a little too much! No one woman, as a Western editor remarks, would “take” the Rights if she hadn’t the rickets! We can understand how Abby Kelly, orAb by Folsom, “takes the rights.” What else have they to live for but rights ? Their day has past. Not for them the ball-room, the party, the bril liant mazes of the mazurka, or the refined pas sion of the polka ; not for them the radiant de lights of the tete-a-tete in the corner, beforo the “next sot” is organized, or the charms of“moon shine” on the homeward walk ; not for them the cautious billet-doux—the insinuating note —the bewitching bouquet—the sentimental siesta, or that“dear, delightful, wicked pet of aSt Preux;” their season is past—their countenances are in the “sear and yellow’’ condition ; their bloom is banished ; crows’-feet have cowed them ; wrinkles and wretchedness have claimed them ; philanthropy and folly are all that remain ; and, of course, the result is, that they inevitably “take the Rights !’’ Now, it appears to us, that the first right of a woman is to say her prayers and look out for a husband ; her next right is to get one—and, indubitably, her chief right is to keep him. But to do so, requires something more than crazy eccentricity or talent run wild. Every accomplish ment a woman is capable of realizing—every beauty she can cultivate—every grace she can educate into waving lines of elegance—is re quisite to please her husband and retain himher fascinated friend until the end ofthe “domestic drama.’’ No labor is too great for such an ob ject, as her own happiness and that other chil dren depend upon the continuance of his affec tion and respect. It is the duty of a woman to be good looking, if she can ; it is her mission to avoid being disagreeable. Ifshe has not beau ty, its deficiency must be counter-balanced by amiability, which will conceal even positive ugli ness, and make a dark and pitted face as smooth and fair, in the husband’s eye, as rose-misted marble. Above all, she should not cut her hair ala Lucy Stone, aud comedown to dinner like a chuck-headed school boy,—a fright a horror, an abomination ! A true beauty is a glorious coronal of dark or sunny hair, as the case may be— “A gorgeous Lesbos crown, With Sapphic thread of gold !” And any woman who considers that she is fulfilling a mission in curtailing its fair propor tions, is little better than a fool. Let us have no more of it. Our cure for Woman’s Rights is—Matri mony ! Sketches of Character. No. XL. THE VERY MORAL MAN. A black suit of clothes, a white cravat, and a pair of highly-polished creaking shoes, are the ex ternal symbols of your “o’er gude man.” He looks upon the world as a large undertaker’s shop, to which people should be continually rushing to be measured for a coffin. The heav ens he would have hung in black, if he could. The gay singing of the birds he would have changed to psalmody—the green sward, which invites to gamboling and frolic, he would con vert into a pall—and the flowers, with their variegated colors and delicious odors, he would have nipped in the bud, lest they incite to vani ty. Little does he seem to think that his atra bilious and sombre thoughts are continually at war with the Beneficence of the Creator, who arrayed the flowers in rich garments, carpeted the meadows with green, and made the air vo cal with feathered songsters, for the delight and pleasure of us all; and that we have no right, in gratitude or reason, to appear or to feel, in different to the bounties and beauties thus lavish ly spread before us. We have no right to go sneaking and whining through the world as though we had no business with it. It was made for us, and despite the lachrymose nonsense of fanatical canters, it was made for us to en joy. We always feel disposed to doubt the genuineness of that man’s morals, who insists severely on the strict observance of mere con ventional forms. That man’s morality is pu rest, best, and most Christian, which is ac companied with a grateful appreciation and 1 warm-hearted acknowledgment of the rational enjoyments of life. He who shuts himself out from society, to avoid temptation, proclaims his own weakness. We have no objection, if lie feel his own inability to keep straight, that he should not attempt to walk, but we do most positively deny, because he is weak in the foot and morally dyspeptic, that he has a right to sav to us, “Walk not, lest ye stumble —partake not of social enjoyment, for fear of disordering thy moral stomach.” The morality of such men, in great part, consists in the fact of not being discovered in tricks of roguery and deceit. In thus teaching and preaching, they always overstep the mark. They do not con tent themselves with warring against the abuse of the good tilings of life, but go dead against their use. This makes their pupils antagonis tical at once, because they know there is no sin in their proper use, and shocked, at the un just demand made upon their forbearance, they are often impelled to taste the flavor of the abuse. The following home picture by Kennedy, will he appreciated by alifoi its trtuthful, beau ty and delicate suggestiveness: Family Paragons. My picture ofthe famiy at Swallow Barn would be incomplete it I did not give a con spicuous place to my two young cousins, Lu cy and Vtc’.orine. it is true they are cousins onlv in the second remove, but I have become sufficiently naturalized to the soil to perceive the full value ofthe relation ; and as they ac knowledge it very affectionately to me—for I was promoted to-‘Cousin Mark” almost in the first hour after my arrival—l should be unrea sonably reluctant if I did not assert the full right of blood. Lucy telis me she is only fif teen, and that she is one year one month older than Vic, “for all that Vic is taller than she.” Now, Lucy is a little fairy with blue eyes and light hair, and partially freckled and sun burnt—being a vety pretty likeness ol Rip, who, I have said, is an imp of homeliness ; a fact which ail experience shows to be quite consistent with the highest beauty. Victorine is almost a head taller, and possesses a stron ger frame. She difiers. too, from her sister by her jet black eyes and dirk hair; though they resemble each other in the wholesome tan which exposure to the atmosphere has spread alike over the cheeks of both. These two girls are educated entirely at home, and are growing up together in the most confiding mutual affection. There is nothing more lovely than two sisters in this relation, tranquilly and unconsciously gliding onward to womanhood amongst the familiar images and gentle influences of the household circle ; their kindly impulses set in motion by the ca resses of friends ; their tastes directed by the simple and pure enjoyments of a refined home in the country, where nature supplies so many beautiful objects to attract the eye, and affec tion so much pleasant guidance to inform the heart ; where lessons of love are received from parental teaching, or absorbed, rather, from looks that are more eloquent than words; where useful instruction loses all its weariness in the encouragement of that fond applause which is assiduous to reward patient toil or to cheer the effort which has paused in the fear of fail ure. No over stimulated ambition is likely there to taint the mind with those vices of rival ry which, in schools, of.en render youth selfish and unamiable, and suggest thoughts ot con cealment and stratagem as aids in the race of pre eminence. Home, to a young girl, is a world peopled with kindly faces and filled only with virtues. She does not know, even by report, the impure things of life, She has heard and read of its miseries, for which her heart melts in charity, and she grows up in the faith that she was born to love the good and render kind offices to the wretched; but she conceives nothing ofthe wickedness of a world which she has never seen, and lives on to wo manhood in a happy and guarded ignorance, which is not broken until her mind has acquir ed a strength sufficient to discern and repel whatever there may be dangerous in knowl edge. “Affections are as thoughts to her, The measures of her hours” The Young Man who looks like Byron. It is very singular to see, sometimes, what n tri vial circumstance will influence a young man’s character, and direct his career through life.— Strange as it may appear, we have, in the course of our experience, met with three youths who, from a fancied resemblance their friends said they bore to Lord Byron, studied the eccentric habits ofthe no ble poet, adopted his peculiarities, and took to turn down collars and gin and water. We need scarce ly say, after this, that the resemblance went no further. The celebrated Dr. Randolph was once reproach ed for the ugliness ofhts person. He mildly replied to his antagonist by saying, -‘Oh, friend, it is not Dr. Randolph that you see.; it is only the carriage that heridethin.” Now, whatever resemblance of per son there might be between the young man who looks like Byron and the great poet, the carriage was empty, and the mind of Lord Byron had no seat in the vehicle. One of the three to whom we have reference, we knew very well, lie was a fel low collegian. He was a law student under Joseph Parker, who wrote the history of the English Court of Chancery. His sisters, who were rather of a romantic turn of mind, and doted on poetry—were the first to discover that Fredrick was the very image of Byron. The mother was easily convinc ed, and was not a little proud of the accidental dis tinction ; although the father—a plain, matter-of-fact man—was made rather uneasy ; for, as he said him self, w here the d—l did the likeness come from ‘!— he was not like Byron a bit. , This puts us in mind of the anecdote of a certain ambassador at the court of France, whose likeness to the Prince was so remarkable as to strike every body. The Prince was a little annoyed at this, and, one day, in the presence of the court, insolently asked the ambassa'lor if his mother was ever in France? “No, sire,” was the reply, “but my father was.” The Prince retired. The father of our friend was certain his wife had never been at Netvstead, but was not so satisfied of the ramblings of Byron. But let that rest. Our young man soon forgot Blaekstone in Don Juan, and when we parted with him years ago, we left him a bad lawyer and a worse poet. He had a sort of reputation among the young lady acquaintances of his sister, for he had done something in all their albums ; but his fame was bounded by the calf skin which covered the book in w hich he inscribed his stuff. Yankee Girls are diamonds and gold, where ever they go. It is quite a common thing for them to be transmogrified into foreign coun tesses. The latest marriage of the kind hasjust taken place at Geneva—Florence, daughter of E. Y. Childe, of Boston, having been u .ited to Count Henry Soltyk, of'Cracow, Poland. — Bos ton Bee. Not Bad. —At the Tom Moore Supper, on Monday evening, Ex-Mayor Quincy, while descanting upon the Irish character, observed that althongh he had never been at Cork, he “had seen so many drawings of it that evening, he frit himself almost an Irishman.” The Cleveland Herald tells the following:— Two loafers met upon the wharf yesterday, and passed the “compliments of the season.” “Jim,” said one, “have you seen Hall? he’s looking for you?” “Hall! what Hall ?” was Jim’s answer. “Why, Alco-holl, you fool.” “Pshaw,” responded Jim, “that’s a poor sell, and you wouldn’t have caught me if I hadn’t been hurt last night when John tripped me up.’’ “John who ?” said Jim. “Demijohn, you num skull.” Why are country girls’ cheeks like a well printed cotton? Because they are “warranted to wash and keep their color.’’ Our New- Consul at Panama. The New York Herald, in speaking of Col. Thomas W. Ward, of Texas, lately appointed Con sul at Panama, says: “He is well known as one of the most chivalious and high-minded men of the South. He was born in the city of Dublin,about forty-five years ago, aud was appointed a cadet in the military school ofthe Honorable East India Company, at the age of tilteeu. In 1827 be left London for the United States, and soon alter proceeded to New Orleans, where he pursued his inherited profession ot engineer and archil ect, until the breaking out of the war in Texas. He had now acquired a handsome lortune; but his ardent temper was kindled by the outrages of the Mexicans against oar countrymen, and lie raised and equipped, with his own resources, a company of volunteers, at the head of whom he marched to Goliad, and quickly after won the admiration of the new republic, in the hard fought battle of San Antouio de Bexar. The Texian army was under Colonel Milan, who was killed at an early period ofthe prolonged engagement. A short time before, the right leg of Captain Ward was carried away by a cannon ball. The remains of one hero, with a part of the other, were buried in the same coffin, as soon as the army found leisure to bestow on them appropriate military honors. After the death of Milan, the contest was pursued with extraordina ry energy, and Ward performed prodigies of valor in the two days which succeeded the loss of his leg. The victory which the Texans ultimately achieved embittered the feelings of Santa Anna more than anything else during the war, and at the end of six weeks he succeeded in retaking the place, killing the renowned Colonel Crockett, and many of the other defenders. Ward subsequently lost his right arm, so that he has now the dilapidated appearance of Lord Nelson, though a much larger and fiercer looking man than that hero—having, indeed, the most splendid presence of any man in Texas, except Senator Rusk. “Soon after the csta’ lishment ofthe independence of Texas, Colonel Ward was appointed Commis sioner of the General Land Oflice, which important office he held under all the Administrations of the Government, uutil the Republic was annexed to the United States, and for a considerable time after terwards—exhibiting an ability scarcely paralleled in such positions, and, finally, retiring with the re spect ami admiration of the entire people of Texas. Colonel Ward is or.e of the noblemen of nature. He is thoroughly informed in politics and general affairs, is industrious and prompt in his business habits, writes with decided ability, (having learned to use his left hand for the purpose, since he lost his right,) and by his weight of character, agreeable manners, and many genial and attractive personal qualities, carries with him more good will and good wishes than any other person would have command ed, who could have been selected for the important cousulship of Panama.” Savannah. The following is given by the New Orleans Bulletin as a summary of what this spirited city has done in the way- of improvements. She has subscribed and paid to different rail road companies m the State, three million sev en hundred and seventy thousand dollars, en dorsed the bonds of ano ther company to the amount of seventy-five thousand dollars, and we have just learned that she has subscribed a million of dollars to the Savannah and Pen sacola railroad. Besides this, Savannah, with in a couple of months, has subscribed one hundred mid sixty thousand dollars to the im provement ot her river and harbor. She has contributed four hundred and fit y thousand dollars forsteamships and steamboats, one hun dred thousand dollars for a canal, one hundred thousand dollars for gas works, and two hun dred and fifty ihousand dollars for waterworks. Thisisa pretty fair showing for a city of twenty thousand inhabitants. We hold her up as an example worthy of imitation. Now, on th.- other hand, let u-< see what her railroads have done for Bavannah. When she commenced her Central Railroad her popula tion was a little over7ooo inhabitants; it is now 20,ii()0. She shipped in the two years of 1841 and 1842, 370000 bales of cotton, 4-7,500 casks of rice, and 22600000 feet oflumber; for the years 1851 and 1852, she shipped 670 000 bales of cotton, 75,500 casks of rice, and 43 000,000 feet of lumber. This small city, with only twenty thousand inhabitants, but all of them alive, and wide awake, has at this time a con tinuous railroad connection with the Tennessee line, a distance of five hundred miles; and in a few months the Nashville and Chattanooga road will be completed, adding near two hun dred miles more. A connection with Knox ville, Tennessee, will very soon be eff cted, also one with Memphis, and another with the Gulf, by the Girard road; so that within five years, at the furthest, Savannah will be the terminus of eighteen hundred or two thousand miles of railroad. Railroad Meeting. The rreetingof the subscribers to the proposed Savannah and Gulf Railroad convened at Ex change Long Room this morning, and organ ized by calling his Hon. R. Wayne, to the chair, and appointing A. A. Smetts, Secretary. On motion of R R. Cuyler, Esq., Resolved, That the following gentlemen be, and are hereby appointed and requested to act as a provisional Board of Directors, viz : James P. Screven, President. Directors, John W. Anderson, YVm. Duncan, Hiram Ro berts, Henry D. Weed,R. Wayne, Thus. Purse, F. S. Bartow and John Stoddord. Resolved, That the Board be requested to per form the following services, viz.: 1 To procure subscriptions. 2. To superintend the survey of the Road. 3. To prepare and procure the necessary charter. 4. To collect all necessary information. 5. To correspond with the citizens ot Florida. 6. To give information to the public of the progress of their work. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. On motion, the meeting adjourned. R. WAYNE, Chairman. A. A. Smetts, Secretary. The Girard Railroad. W e are pleased to learn that the ordinance authorizing a subscription of one million of dol lars on the part oft this city to the above named road, passed the Board of Aldermen Thursday night, anil will, there is hut little doubt, receive the sanction ofthe Council. The ordinance in its present shape is more liberal than the one which had been previously acted on, in making provision by taxation for the interest, instead of requiring the railroad company to pay it, until the road reached Greenville. If at any time it should bo found that either of the conditions ofthe ordinance unnecessari ly retarded the sale of the bonds on the progress ofthe work, the necessary need of a change can be made without any difficulty. Wo therefore congratulate this community, as well as a large portion of our Stete, on the bright prospects now afforded for a speedy, con nection of the Atlantic with the Gulf of Mexico, by means of the Girard road. We look with confidence to the action of Savannah and Charleston in aid of the great work, its they must necessarily be large sharers in its conveniences and benefits. We are somewhat surprised to find in the Montgomery Advertiser and Gazette, of June Ist, some captious remarks respecting the char acter of this subscription, which characterise it as a shame, and intended as a scarecrow to frighten oil’ subscribers to the Pensacola road. Surely our Montgomery friendsdo not object to our building a road which runs by their door way, and with which they must necessarily con- [TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE. nect, even if they consummate their design in building the other road. The action of the corporate authorities in thus fully responding to the feelings of our citi zens, will put to flight all doubt and misgiving, and deprive even those who are disposed to carp at us, of the means of mere presentation.—Mo bile Register. A few days ago, it was announced by tele graph that Gen. Bt. Arnaud, French minister of war, had been arrested in Paris for the as sassination of Gen. Cornerneuse. This story is based on the following translation of a part of a letter from Paris : “I ought to tell you that the general, mar shal of France, St. Arnaud, minister of war, was nrrested last evening, by order of the Emperor, tor the following reasons : Gen. Cor nemeuse. aid de-camp of the Emperor, found himself in the cabinet of his Majesty with Gen. St. Arnaud. A sum of four hundred thousand francs was there, and the Emperor entering his cabinet, asked for this money, which he destined for the marriage portion ofthe daugh ter of Gen. St. Arnaud. Gen. Cornemeuse searched everywhere, but was unable to find more than two hundred thousand francs, whereupon he said to Gen. St. Arnaud, -You and I only have been here, and it is only your self who could hive taken it.’ Finding that he could not deny the charge, St. Arnaud in stantly drew his sword and killed Gen. Cor nemeuse ; the latter having merely the time to make a degagemenl, piercing the arm of St. Arnaud. The scene passed under the eyes of the Emperor, and so suddenly, that he had no time to prevent the two blows. The matter is hushed up, but you may rely upon the facts, as I have them from a source beyond all doubt. St. Arnaud, you are aware, is the general who played so prominent a part in the coup d'etat of December. Without pronouncing upon the guilt or innocence of the parties, I cannot avoid observing that, considering the destina tion ot the money, it is extraordinary that St. Arnaud should have taken it. while it is equal ly strange that such a grave charge should have been made without probable cause.” An Important Question Settled. The Presbyterian General Assembly, now sitting at Philadelphia—after two or three days of animated and elaborate debate—haveselec. ted Danvile, Kentucky, as the site for the Wes tern Theological Seminary. It is fair to pre sume that, in the next hundred years, Danville will become to the Great West what Princeton has been to the Great East for the last hundred. Fur it is now just one century since Gil bert Tetinent and Samuel Davies went on their celebrated and successful agency to England and Scotland, to solicit aid for the establish ment of Princeton Nassau Hall. From that halt. Princeton Seminary has grown. For some thirty years or more, that little_ Western plant, Centre College, (Danville, Ken.,) has been lifting up its modest head in the “dark and bloody ground”—first, under the nurtur ing hand ofthe lamented Chamberlain, recent ly slain in Mississippi—and, afterwards, by the eloquent and experienced Young, the present Moderator of the Assembly. May we not hope, therefore, that Danville is destined to a generous rivalry with or even over Prince ton, in time to come—just as surely as th-it the Mississippi Valley surpasses, in its resour ces, the whole of the old thirteen colonies that nurtured Princeton in her infancy I vVe perceive, by glancing over the debates, that some of the first minds in the country were engaged. Such, for instance, as R. J. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, Nicholas Murry, of Jersey, Mr Van Zant, of Virginia, &.c. The intere-ts of St. Louis were warmly ad vocated by a .entleman from Missouri; and Ni-w Alh my, by many speakers of great abili ty ; but Dr. R. J. Breckenridge carried his point over all competitors. A special motion was immediately made and adopted, to acknowledge the hand of God in the happy decision, and to ask his blessing upon the happy enterprise—which was accordingly done by the Moderator. Condition of Mr. Stephens. We are exceedingly gratfied to learn, by a dispatch from Daniel F. Clarke, Esq., Secreta ry of the Washington and New Orleans Tele graph Company, to the editor of this paper, oated yesterday, at 12 M., that the Hon Alex ander H. Stephens, who was reported as having been seriously injured by the accident on the Macon and Western road, is doing very well, that he is out of danger, that his wounds are not serious, and that he is doing much better than could be expected.— Sav.

Cherries without stones have been produced in France, by the following method: In the spring, before the circulation of the sap, a young seedling cherry tree is split from the upper extremity down to the fork of its roots ; then, by means of a piece of wood in form of a spatula, the pith is carefully removed from the tree, in such a manner as to avoid any excoriation, or other injury ; a knife is used only for commencing the split. Afterwards, the two sections are brought together, and tied with woolen, care being taken to close her metically with clay, the whole length of the clett. The sap soon reunites the separated portion ofthe tree, and, two years afterwards, cherries are produced ofthe usual appearance, but, instead of stones, there will only be small soft pellicks. A Curious Relic. Dr. Craven, who hasjustreturnedfrom a pro fessional tour in North Carolina, has brought with him a specimen of feathers and winding sheet, taken from the body ofa corpse thought to be an Indian Giri, The body is in a perfect s ate ot preservation; the flesh very tough and free from taste ur smell, and peifectly hard ; the feathers were used as outside covering ; the bark canvass was second, and enveloped the deer skins which covered the body. The body, when found, supposed to be in the same state as o hers found shortly after the flood. This specimen was received from Dr. John D. McLane. of Lincoln, county. N. C.; a portion ofthe entire relic was procured by his lather, Dr. Win. McLane, in Middle Tennessee, in the year 1800 or 1804, where it was found in a sul phur cave. The body was found in a cane coffin, with the leg- c.t off at the knees, and pi ced on the breast- Dr. Craven, who has the specimen, has seen the greater part of the shroud, and. informs us that there is a peculiarity in the feathers, not yet classified by Ornithologists.— The curious in such matters can see the speci mens at the Doctor’s establishment, in York ville.—Remedy.
