Mr. Snodgrass, junior, has been “scooting around”
at ihe West, and as some of his experiences are
rather amusing, we copy an extract ns follows :
“When w e g>t to the depot, 1 went around to
get a look at the iron boss. Thunderation ! it
vtarn’t no more like a hoes than a meetin’ house.—
It I was going to describe the animule, I’d say it
looked like—well, it looked like—darn’d if ] know
wliai it looked like unless it was a regular he devil,
snortin’smoke all around, and pantin’, and heavin’,
ai.ti swellin’, arid chawin’ up red hot coals like
they was good. A feller stood in a house like,
feedin’ hint all the time; but the more he got tbe
more he wanted, and the more he snorted. After
a spell the feib r catehed him hv the tail, and great
Jericho ! he set up a yell that split the ground for

im lege a wagpin,’ and (bund myself at t’other end
of the siring o’ vehickles. I wasti’i skeered, hut
1 had three chills tint! a slmke of palsy in less than
five miiiits, and my face had a curious brownish
teller-green-bluish color in it, w hich was perfectly
m.accountable. “Well,” says I,“comment is sup-
I , -Jluous,'’ ami I look ;t seat in ti e nearest waggin,
ioi■;m a- they call it—a consumed long steamboat
lookin’ tiling, with a string of pews down each side
big enough to hold a man and a half. Just as I sat
down, ihe boss hollered twice ami started off like
a streak pitch in’ me head first at the stomach of a
big Irish woman, and she gave a tremendous grunt,
and then catched me by the head and crammed
tne under the seat ; the cars was a jumpin’and

like, a mill-saw, and every wretch on ’em had his
mouth wide open and looked like they was laffin’,
blit I couldn’t hear nothin’, the cats kept such a

such another lats busied out o’ them passengers,
as I never hern before. Laffin’ at tne, too, that’s

Great Challenge—Race for s2oo,ooo.—The
Georgia sportsmen, some time since,'Bent forth a
challenge to the world—intended tor Great Britain,
ok cotirst —to run a match rate of four miies and
repeat for SIOO,OOO a side, over the Ten Broeck
Course at Savannah. The Georgians propose, in
case the British accept the challenge and thexi
horse is beaten, to refund 5 per cent, of the purse,
or $5,000, to pay expenses. The London Stigday
Times insists that a company shall be formed io
England to accept the challenge, ansi test the su
periority of the horses ot the two countries. The
Times calis upon Lord Zetland to become the
champion ofthe British Turf, and send out his no

The indications are that the match will be made
for next season, and if so we may look for the

4 Mother's Influence —Hon. Thomas H. Ben
ton, in a speech in New York, turned to the ladies,
and referring to his mother said :—“My mother
asked me never to use tobacco, and I have never
touched it from that o the present day She asked
me not to game, and I have never gamed ; and I
cannot tell, this day, who is winning and who is
lbsing in games that can be played. She admon
ished hip, too, against hard drink ; and whatever
eapacitv for endurance I may have at oresent, and
whatever usefulness I may attain in life, I attribute
to having complied with her pious and earnest
wishes. When seven ‘ ears ol age, she asked me
not to drink, and I made then a resolution of total
abstinence 1 formed an abstinence society at a
time when I was the sol” constituent member of
my own bedv, and that I have adhered to it
through all time, I owe to my mother.”
Silver Bedsteads. —The Paris correspondent of
the New York Journal of Commerce repoits that
six bedsteads of silver have been ordered from one
of the lare furniture establishments in that city by
the Pacha of Egypt—in contemplation of the mar
riage of his son with the present Sultan’s daughter.
The articles are thus described ; “The work is of
an a abesque character ; the bedstead is composed
throughout of pierced open metal work, doubly
plated, with scrolls of matted and burnished silver
in high relief. The head is pierced and surmount
ed w ith chased foliage, the foot harmonizing in
character and being enriched by a large arabesque
shell. Fluted and polished pillars at each corner
support gracefully arched open work, over which is
intended to tall the musquito net—the only bed fur
niture used in the East. The silver work is thrown
into relief by a lining of crimson velvet, and mat
tress and bolster of green satin complete the orna
ments of the couch. The cost of the setis estima
ted at $70,000. The extravagance of the Parisian
world is making such rapid strides towards easte 1 ”
magnificence, that we shall doubtless, ere
hear of Parisian boudiours and bedr
mented not only with silver or go’' 3

Correspondence of the Conner.
New Yoke, Dec. 4.
Our election for Mayor is over, and though Fer
nando Wood is defeated, the contest is not yet end
ed. From the polls the struggle has been trans
ferred to Tammany Hall, Division and strife hand
in hand with envy mid revenge, stalked into the
old wigwam last night, and there was an old fash
ioneti row. Those who favored Wood for Mayor,
and go in for regular nominations, determined to
punish the seceders from tin? Democracy to an op
position caedidate. Anting those who figured a :
Tammany Hall, in the crusade, vver • Job C Hi
ran and John Kelly, both members of Congress,
Capt. Rvnders, U. S. Marshal, and others holding
city offices. They contended that none should be
allowed to come into Tammany who will not stand
by its nominees.
The persons particularly upon whom this retri
bution was to be visited were several prominent
Detnociats and office-holders who defeated Wood.
Ptincipal among them were Daniel E. Sickles, mem
ber of Congress, John McKeon, U. S. District At
torney, one of the governors of the alms house,
John Van Buren, James T. Brade and otheis of
high respectability and influence in the party. The
Woodmen carried out their threat. They did ex
pel from the General Committee the only two prom
inent members who voted tor Tiemann, viz: D. E.
Sickles and Gov. Gunther. The others can only
be reached by a more circuitous and distant retri
bution, but their doom is surely written down in
the future.
From Correspondence of the South.
From Washington.
Washington, Dec. 4, 1857.
The President, while firm in his determination
to sustain, with all the moral force he can com
mand, the action of the Kansas Convention, re
gards ttie question very lightly as imperiling in any
manner the harmony of i he Democratic party, or as
threatening any serious results.
The President has expressed his opinion that
the Kansas Convention has adopted one ofthe best
State Constitutions ever formed.
An informal but very large delegation ofthe
members of the new Congress crowded the re
ception room of Mr. Buchanan to-day to pay
their respects to the venerable President; and con
versation was freely indulged lor the space of near
ly an hour. The President appears to be in ie
markabie health, and he conversed very cheerful
ly, ith an occasional manifestation of that genial
humor which is the chief charm of his discourse.
The State pride of some of the members was con
siderably tickled by the allusions ot the President
to their several const tuencies ; and he paid an es
pecial compliment to Virginia which was acknowl
edged by Mr. Bocoek in a style of repartee ; Mr.
Buchanan, speaking of Virginia as that “tine old
State, a hich was ever right when her service was
needed,” and Mr. Bocock replying that the com
plitnent might have been j aster in charac erizing
the Old Dominion as ‘ right all the tune.” On some
of the members interposing some deprecations in
jest, Mr. Buchanan remarked with impressment,
“Gentlemen, have I not reason to be grateful to
Virginia ?” The State of Alabama was taken to
task in some playful remarks, which were conclu
ded with an emphasis of seriousness, when the
President remarked his devotion to the constitu
tional rights ofthe South. “I see,” said the Pres
ident to one of the members from Alabama, “that
your people have been passing some terrific resolu
tions against me. I suppose they think me down
there a great Abolitionist. The New Orleans Delta
says lam a terrible Abolitionist.” [Laughter.]—
“Now,” added Mr. Buchanan, becoming serious, “I
cannot say that 1 am a pro-slavery man, but I do
sav that in contending lor the constitutional rights
ofthe South, I have done more than any oth
e>- man now living.”

Congressional
Senator Douglas aud the Administration
Washington, Dec. 9.
The Senate have plunged at once into a warm
a id general debate on that portion of the Presi
dent’s Message which relates tu Kansas affairs.—
Mr. Douglas, in pursuance of an intimation he
gave yesterday, spoke at length on the subject to
day. His speech occupied two hours, and produ
ced deep sensation. He began, however, hv sta
ting that, upon hearing the Message read yester
day, he had undetstood it as app-oving the action
ot the Lecompton Convention. A more critical ex
amination of it had, however, satisfied him that
t;.e President had neither endorsed nor approved
that action, iior had he recommended the admis
sion of Kansas on that Constitution, bi.t only ex
pressed his willingness to sign .tu act for her ad
mission tinder it.
it was a very significant lact that the President
had refrained from making the endorsement re It r
red to above, and from any recommendation to
Congress in the premises. The President had ex
pressed to him, Mr. D,, his deep mortification and
disappointment on account of the failure of the
Convention to submit the whole of th Constitu
tion to the vote of the people of the Territory.
He conceived that if the President’s argument
approving the submission ofthe slavery clause was
true, it bore w itn quite as much force in favor of the
submission of every question disposed of in the
Constitution, to the people
Mi Douglas insisted strongly upon the necessity
ami policy of the submission of the Kansas Con
stitution, as a w hole, to the people of the Territory.
When lie closed, some applause arose from the
crowded galleries, which, Mr. Clay, of Alabama,
remarked, come Irani the backers of tho other side
—that is, the Black Republicans.
Mr. Bigler, of Pennsylvania, replied to Mr.
Douglas, and a general discussion is likely to en
sue. There will be time enough for it hereafter,
also, when tbe Lecompton Constitution shall be
presented. Col. Jefferson Davis will take the lead
in support of the President’s views, iu opposition to
Mr. Dougins.*
How strange a revolution! A few weeks ago,
Senator Hunter and Col. Davis were hostile to ttie
President, and now they are obliged to take position
as his friends.
It is believed that the President has removed Mr.
Stanton, the Secretary and acting Governor of
Kansas.
Mr. Stanton had resigned his office as Secretary,
to take effect on the 21st inst., but withdrew the
resignation, declaring that he wouid stand or fall
with Gov. Walker, as he shared his opposition to
the Lecompton Convention.
The rumor that the President intended to re
move Gov. Walker, is so far true, that Governor
Walker will not return to Kansas as Governor.
Tne Lemon slave case will ot course come to the
U. S. Supreme Court fir adjudication. At the last
term of the Court, Justice Campbell, in his opinion
on theDred Scott case, stated that he was prepared
to decide that citizens of a slaveholding State had
the right under the Constitution, to tree travel
through the non-slaveholding States, any law of
the latter to the contrary notwithstanding. This
being so. the question is likeiy soon to be perma
nently spitled.
Tbe House has made a printer, Mr. Steadman of
Ohio. It is ‘umored that he will establish hert a
democratic Douglas press, bu’ it wants confirma
tion.

lar vote settle the whole question. They did,
choose to have delegates in convention. They
might if they had so chosen, have directed those
delegates to refer the question back to them ; and
so might the body-politic direct the Legislature to
submit every act to a popular vote. It rests on
them to decide one way or ihe other. Ido not un
derstand the doctrine to the extent of the remarks
that are made.”
Save it.
Yes, young man, save it. Put it in a safe place,
and add to it often. We refer to the halt-dime you
were about, to expend lor a cigar, or the dime you
are on the point ol exchanging tor a ‘drink.’ Get
a stout box made, and whene’ er you are tempted to
spend your coin for a useless indulgence, drop it
in the said box instead and listen to its musical
jingle. Ah ! you have no idea how three cent bits
and half dimes, and dimes, and quarters count up.
But try this savings-bank for a year, and then
count your coin, and you will learn how much
money you might have wasted. And not only wast
ed money, but time—precious, priceless time, and
formed habits of idleness and dissipation which
cling to the unfortunate possessor as the fabled
shirt of Nessus clings to him who mice put it on.—
Yes, save your money, young man, and spend
your leisure hours at home with your mother or
sisters, and occupy yourself with earnest, judicious
study, ami instead of being a hewer of wood and a
drawer of water for others in your declining days,
you will stand a chance of taking rank with the
great and prosperous and honored ones of the
earth.

Tarpley is about thirty years old, five feet nine

The Discovery of Gold in California. —The
discovery of gold iu California, though it has en
riched the nation, has been attended with disaster
to the discoverers Captain .Stitt r, in whose mill
flume the first gold was found, which gave rise to
the California lever and peopled that region, has
been entirely ruined by the turn that events have
since taken. In an account which he gives of the
effect upon himself, he says it broke up bis labors,
stopped his tannery, left bis mills deserted, and
from the prospect of being the richest man on the
Pacific, he is now hopelessly ruined. Marshall,
the man who made the discovery, is hardly any
better off. At this very moment, w ronged of every
dollar and every foot of land he possessed, he
would riot have, but for the daily charity of com
parative..--traugers, even a cabin in which to lay
his head to rest at night.
A Difference —A New Y’ork letter has the fol
lowing interesting item of the times :
It is stated that a down town mirchant recently
‘repaired to his w ite to say that he lacked $1,400 to
wards payment of a cote, which if he did not meet,
would result in bankruptcy, whereupon his wife
gave him $5,000 in gold and notes, saved from her
house mony. That a brother of this same mer
chant laid by SI,OOO in gold at home, being afraid
to trust the bakes, in order to meet a note. When
its use was required, he found it missing. His wife,
had bought a SIOO set of furs with it at Stewart’s
anti the merchant failed.
Great Increase of Population. —There is one
Southern Slate, says ttie Cincinnati Enquirer,
which is increasing in population with a rapidity
that quite, or almost, equals that of our new North
ern States. We allude to Texas. At the late
Stale election, in August last, about 60,000 votes
were polled. As its population is scattered over
an immense Territory, audit) many places quite
inaccessible to the polls, and as it contains a large
number of slaves, il is safe to estimate that not
more than one out of every ten in the population
voted. This would give a population of 600,000.
That this is not too high is evident from the lact
that it polled more votes than Mississippi, which
has over 600,000 inhabitants, in 1850 the popu
lation of Texas was but little over 200,000. It is,
therefore, trebled in seven years. Tin- probability
is,that by 1860, when the next census is taken,
Texas will have at leas: 800.000 inhabits els. Sup
pose the apportionment not to be materially chan
ged, this would give her about seven members of
he House of Representatives
The Acquisition of Cuba —The New Orleans
Courier, the Administration's paper oftiiat city, ar
guing from the stand point that Kansas will likely,
at last, come into the Union as a free Slate, presses
the acquisition of Cuba during the present term of
Mr. Buchanan, to supply its loss to ihe South. It
says :
“We learned many years ago from his (Bucha
nan's) great speech on tbe Panama Mission, that
the Moro was practically a fortress at the mouth
of the Mississippi. It engbt, therefore, to belong
to the United States- The acquisition of Cuba is
a question of far greater importance to us than any
other now before this Administration. It would
be a peculiarly fit time to annex it as a Slave State
when it could be ina-'e a twin sister to a free State
from the West. All parties ought to be satisfied—
the great majority of all parties would be. Mr.
Buchanan would earn the crowning glory of his
life,and the whole Mississippi vailev would em
balm his name among those of their heroes. Peace
and quiet would be restored to the North, security
would be given to the commerce of the South and
West, and the people of Cuba would prosper as
they never prospered before.”
The Courier urges it upon the Louisiana mem
bers of Congress to stand up to this question.
