The minstrels gone ! what band shall tnne thy strings ? Rest, Mntdon, thou shalt tune a holier lyre. And sing in strains more thrilling than before, And thy pure lips shill glow with snered fire, As did the Prophet’s in the days of yore ! Rest sweetly, for affection tells thy story, Hush’d is thy voice, but mom’ry holds thy fay, # Oft where tby kindred dwell when time grows hoary Tears shall mingle on thy burial day, K. The people of New England occasion ally carry their “love” for-fugitive slaves to the most ridiculous lengths. A black fellow named Scott, lately made a desperate assault on Mr. Springer, at Providance, and then fled to Ux bridge, and afterwards to Woonsocket. Officers followed but through the. interference of the inhabitants of different localities, who wefe de luded by the black into the belief that he was a fugitive they were unable to capture him. In one instance, the people seized the sheriff, of Woonsocket, Mr. Thos Aldrich, and held him till foe cars started—they having previously furnished Scott with funds to reach Canada.— The sheriff, • however, managed tp spring upon foe cars, arrested the black, conveyed him to bis residence, and there detained him until next morning, when he sent him back to Providence. During the night- the bouse of the sheriff was surrounded by an indignant crowd, who threat- ened to set tho fellow at liberty. The sheriff stood firm read the riot act, threatened to shoot foe first person who attempted to enter bis pre mises and though entirely alone, kept the mul titude at bay. What, if possible, is still more creditable to the sheriff, he was not aware of the real offence of the negro, but believed he was, as be professed, a fugitive slave. Recent demonstrations of the existence of a volcano in Arkansas havo been the canso of much uneasiness and anxiety to a portion of tho inhabitants of that Stats. The subterran ean fires appear to be located in a mountain about five miles from Waldron, in Scott county. Three explosions lately occurred in one week; thoy were very loud and terrific ; threw up stones and earth; filled the atmosphere with clouds of dust and smoke, and caused the earth to quake for miles around. One of the reports was heard at a distance of forty or fifty miles. The earth on the mountains is represented as having sunk to a considerable depth. "Quick Sales axd Small Profits.”—A pretty young woman, a sort of amateur milliner, residing with her aunt in the Bowery, New York, went to a shoe store the other day to get newly shod. Crispin proceeded to measure her foot; he took oat his tape—stooped down— the foot was so small and pretty, and the ankle so neat andclean, that the poor fellow nearly swooned. He breathed bard—-the girl blushed and encouraged him. After a prodigious effort he succeeded in getting the measure, and pro mised to have foe shoes done by Saturday. “I will take them myself.” said he. Lucy smiled and nodded assent. Well, on Saturday night he carried the shoes home—tried them on— found they fitted—and was more in love than ever. He talked of going to; church next even-. ing—"would you. go ?” "Oh, yes,” she had no objection. Accordingly it was agreed to go and hear a sermon on Sunday evening. Well, at the time appointed, who should go to the aunt’s but a certain dapper clerk, a little fierce fellow, with several pounds of whiskers round his cheeks and under his long neck, bent on the same purpose—going to church. The shoe maker thought of hqf.shoes, the small foot, the delicious ankle: the tape-seller of a new dress, a gown, and Lucy’s fine bust. She had actual ly promised to go to church with both—but both going with her was out of the question.— “I’ll b^damned if I go," said the tape man. “He’s no gentleman who swears in the compa ny of ladies,” said the shoemaker. "He ain’t?” said the other, “come out here, and I’ll let yon know who’s who, my chap." Lucy screamed —the old woman lost her spectacles—the two lovers left the house. It is supposed they hare ] eat each other up, all but the whiskers, for they have not been seen in the Bowrv since. Lucy is disconsolate, having lost two lovers in at tempting to please both. Ugh! “I liavn’t Sold mjr Colton.” The above fa become a most familiar phrase among our people, and is considered a sufficient reply to all demands for a settlement of existing liabilities between the planterand those to whom he may be indebtod; and organized ns the busi ness of the country is, in relatioh to the subject of credit, which looks to nn adjustment of the af fairs of the current year at or about ChristmM, or during the cotton' selling season, the sale of Cotton is the great lover upon which the whole- matter turns; and as long as the planter’s crop remains in his gin-house or stored in tba ware house, it is not tobo expected that the owner can respond to foe demands of his creditors.— Very grave questions may however arise as to what extent the planter is justified—on the score of policy, or in view of his liabilities in curred on the strength of the anticipated sale of his crop and realisation of the proceeds at the usual time—in indefinitely postponing, .from month to month, tho conversation of his cotton into available menus to discharge the debts for which it impliedly pledged; bow far bo ought to or'’can consistently speculate upon the uncertainties of the cotton market.’ So far as the risk concerns himself only, the question is without difficulty beyond mere considerations of policy; but when the interest, tho credit, and the solvency of others are involved with them, and all the loss with none of the gain fells to the share of the latter, the case in its moral as pect becomes more complicated. We are at this time in the midst ofa trying crisis. The great scarcity of money is a sub ject of universal complaint Collections are said to nmoi-nt to little or nothing, and pecuni ary distress prevails throughout the country.— The cotton statements from the various, cities show largo stocks on band, of which, in the in land towns particularly, a large proportion fa stored for account of planters thus locking up in the warehouses a vast amonnt of means which would otherwise have been in circulation.— Much of this cotton has been stored at 8 cents, somo at more some at less; but it is conceded on all hands that the proceeds, even at foo pres ent prices, would materially relieve the difficul ties under which we at present labor. The qnes- tions we now make are these: Are hotourplnn- tera wrong in all cases in failing to sell when their cotton will bring a remunemtiiuf price and tho proceeds are due to their creditors? and se condly—having failed to do so, are they not now called npnn by the exigencies of the times to sell a portion of tbeir crops at least, even at present prices, that the proceeds mny to some extent relieve the pressing necessities which have in a great degree been consequent upon their failure to do so therefore ? Is it right that our merchants and others, who have looked to the proceeds of this cotton to protect their lia bilities, should be forced to the necessity of rai sing money for this purpose from ontside sour ces, at ruinous rates of interest—or in default of this, to suffer in credit or end in bankruptcy— because, forsooth, the planter considers 8c. or 7c. or (tc. too little for his cotton, or in his opin ion, prices will be better in the Spring ? ,W« are ever disposed to counsel forbearance and patience on the part of creditors; but something is doer from debtors, that forbearance may not cease to be a virtue, or patience become a fault. "We speak as unto wise men; judge ye."—Colombo* Enquirer." The Wat to Build up a State.—Governor Grimes, of Iowa, in his inaugural address, thus describes the wants of foe thriving State over which he presides: "She wants educated farmers and mechanics, engineers, architects, metallurgists, and geolo gists. She needs men engaged in the practical duties of life, who have conquered their profes sions, and who are able to impart tbeir knowl edge to others. She wants fanners who shall be familiar with the principles of chemistry as applied to agriculture; architects and mechan ics who will adorn her edifices worthy of so fair a land; and engineers and geologists who will develops her sources, and thus augment the wealth and happiness ofher citizens. This want can only be supplied by the establishment ofa school of appliod sciences. I have no hesitation, therefore, in recommending that a University fund be appropriated to establish a practical sci entific or polytechnic schooL” TnE Great Navies of the World.—The following is the number of vessels comprising the first five impotent navies of the world, with their weight of metal Disilnctivc Mental CiiarnctPrhUt of the northern and Southern People. Tho last number of the Southern Baptut now under the charge of Rev. J. P. Tustin contains an- admirably written review of Dr. Adams’ "South Side View of Slavery.” A native of Philadelphia, whose manhood has boen spent in nearly equal portions In .New England and in the South ; few men of hfe age are better qual ified than the reviewer t*o speak in reference to the characteristic difference of the Northern and Southern people. Hence the valuo of the following paragraph: The Southern people are more unmixed Eng lish and Protestant in their origin, sentiments and character, than the other half of the Araer- can confederacy. There fa less ofa mixture of race and opinions, and religion, among them than with those or the free States. With high- spirited self respect which they have inherited and cherished, they, are really far less excitea- bte and speculative, than the bulk of their. Northern cotemporaries Less accustomed to the mass meeting, and less affected by an ephe meral literature, and by the expedients of con ventional philanthropy, the Southern people ar* characteristically more thoughtful - for tbeir nnmbers, they read more solid books—and among the more select class enjoying aeclnsive leisure, there is probably more of a pnre ancient and English classical taste among them, than can be found, except in quite occasional instan ces, among the crowded States at the North.— While one seventh of the American people live in large cities,, and in towns-above the size of incorporated' Horonghs, fifteen sixteenths of foe Southern people are accustomed to the tran quility ofagricnltnral life. The prnrient Im pulses which.enter into foe abolition feeling of the Northern knd. English people, are excited but by few nctual occasions of witnessed misery' at the Sonth. It might be safe to venture foe prediction, that ifall the facts wero known and reduced fo a perfect science of statistics, tiftre would be found, to be more* real - poverty, vice, unattended sickness, nnd heartrending misery in its manifold forms, in the four large,cities of Boston.

This looks as though Mr. Soule' was on the best of terms with her ’Sfajesty. notwithstanding tho fact that be bas since resigned his mission. It fa prob able. that Mr. Sonte' has satisfied himself that he cannot negotiate a bargain for Cuba, and therefore deems it advisable to return-homo. Dr. Graham’s Conduct in Prison—Dr. Gra ham, who is now at Sing Sing. New York,' is said to have had a serious difficulty with the penitentiary. He was selected, on account of his professional knowledge, to prepare and ad minister the prescriptions of the attending physician. Among the medicines there was a quantity of brandy. With this the Doctor made free, and was crazy drunk, raving np and down the ^hospital-room, brandishing a knife, and threatening the lives of any who might molest him. Of course he was secured. The Black Doctor. —A gentleman, in Ala bama, felt asudden pain, and fearing his inter nal machinery had been thrown ont of gear, sent for a negro on his plantation, who made some pretensions, to medical skill, to prescribe for him. The negro, having investigated the case, prepared and administered a dose to his patient with the. utmost confidence of a speedy cure. No relief being experienced, however, the gentleman sent for a physician, who, on ar riving, inquired of the negro what medicine he had given his master. Bob promptly respond ed—" osin and alum, -sir!” “What did you give them for ?” continued the dpetor. “Why,” replied Bob, "de alum to draw de parts toged- der, and do rosin to sodder ’urn." The patient eventually recovered. From Japan.—A circular from Hong Kong, dated October 27tb, says that the two ports of Japan opened to foe English by the treaty late ly concluded, are supposed tobe Nangaaka, and one to the southward of those granted to the United States, The same circular says that the Japanneso declined to accede to a request of foe English Admiral that they would not furnish provisions, or supplies of any kind, to the Rus sians, should they visit Japan again. The French Government, it is stated, contin- nesto purchase largely in New York market of pork and corn. A short time since a vessel sailed for Brest, with 3,000 barrefapork onboard, and another vessel fa now loading fur Franco with a like amount. Orn. Almont, Mexican minister at Washing ton, U fa stated, has received instruction from Santa Anna to commence a civil suit against Don Francisco de Arrangofa, late Mexican Con sul General, for tho recovery of sixty-eight thousand dollars, which ho holds as his private commission for receiving the Gadsden treaty money in behalf of Mexico. The Washington Union nnnonnees that tho first vessol, with the colonists for Central Ame rica, will sail from Baltimore on the 25th inst, the second in, a few days after from Mobile, and the third from Brazos Santiago. In all seven hundred men will start in these vessels. Colo nel Kenney will himself sail about the begin ning of next month either from New York or Philadelphia, in a first close steamship. Homicide in Florid \.—We learn that a ren contre took place on Wednesday night last, at Black Creek, Florida, between Jamos Thomas and a German. Mr. Thomas was shot with a rifle, and died from the wonnd. Tho German, it is said, acted in self defence. A man in Detroit has been finod $50 nndsont to jail for sixty days, having whipped his wife the *eaond night after marriage. John Bnnyan, while in Bedford jail, was call ed upon by a Quaker desirous of making a con vert of him. "Friend John, I have come to thee with a'messago from the Lord, and oftef having searched for thee in oil the prisons in England, I am glad that I have found thee out at last." "If the Lord had sent yon,” returned Bnnyan, "you need not have taken so much pains to find me out, for tho Lord knows I havo been here twelvo years.” Ooncert for the Poor.—The Academy of Music was crowded to suffocation at New York on Thursday evening, by abrilliant audience on the occasion of Mad.

This was also an advantage to the young man, which he so suc cessfully employed as to be in a better condi tion to continue foe fight. The armistice lasted but for a short time—the grizzly was cautiously coming np to renew foe battle, when foe yonng man, with knifein hand, although severely wounded, charged upon the monster with a whoop and yell, burying his knife, in the animal's neck, which bein more than be had reckoned on, and not at all agree able, grizzly tnrned tail and trotted off, fairly beaten in stand up fight of his own seeking. The brave young fellow then bethought him of his pistol, the contents of two barrels of which he discharged into bis retreating foe. This is the second fight this young man has had with bears. He was found by his partner very much cut and torn, removed to San An dres. where bis wounds were drissed. and he is now in a fair, way of recovery.—Calaveras Chronicle. An Item of History.-Tho first American '.who discharged his gun on foe day of the bat tle. of Lexington was Ebenezer Lock, who died at Deering, New, Hamshire, about fifty years ago. He resided at Lexington in 1776. The British regulars at. the order of Major Pitcairn, having fired upon the few “rebels” on the Green in front of,foe meeting house, killing some, and wounded others, it was the signal of war. “The citizens,” writes pne, might be seen coming fromall directions, in the roads, overtbe fields, and through the woods ^each with his rifle in hand, his powder horn slung to his side, and bis pockets provided with bullets. Among the number was Ebenezer Lock; The British has posted a reserve of infantry a mile in the rear, ip the direction of Boston. This was in the immediate neighborhood of Mr. Lock, who instead of hastening to join the party at the green, places himself in an old cellar, at a con venient dl8tanee for doing ‘’execution.” ’ A portion of the reserve wero standing on the bridge, and Mr. Lock commoncod firing at them, there was no other American in sight. He worked valiantly for some minutes bringing down ono of the enemy at nearly every shot. Up to this time not a gun had been fired else where by the rebels. A Curious Physiological Fact.—A French officer while making a reconnoisnnce near Se vastopol was knocked down by the wind of a caption ball, and the shock was so severe as to cause a paralysis of his tongue, so that he could neither movo it orspeak. Obtaining leave of abscence, he returned to Marseilles and placed himself under tho electrical treatment After a few shocks he could move his tongue with more facility, and at length, after an unusually pow erful shock, his speech was restored and he was fully recovered. Newspapers in the World—The following fa supposed to bo the number of newspapers in the world:--10 in Austria, 14 in Africa, 24 in Spain. 26 in Portugal, 30 in Asia, 65 in Belgium 85 in Denmark. 60 in Russia pad Poland, 320 in other Germanic States, 500 in Great Britain, Ire land Scotland and 2,000 in the United States, or about twice as many in this country as in all other nations.—This accounts for tho superior ity of our people in point of intelligence to overy other poeple on the globe.

Consols 90} GENERAL NEWS. .The negotiations of the five powers at Vien na have been postponed two weeks, thus afford ing another chance for peace. The allies now have three hundred guns in position and reacy to open fire upon Sevasto* P*’l' After a bombardment of 48 hours, they will proceed to storm tho place on tho south side. They only wait for a favorable opportu nity to put tbeir plans in operation. The stand taken by the diplomatic circles in,. Madrid, it is understood, was so chilling as to lead Mr.'Soule' to resign bis post as Minister. In all official'ibferconrse he encountered the most'marked though freezing ,politeness. In private life also, foe bearing of the leaders of fasbionable society, was such, that Both he and his family were entirely Isolated. Mr. Rogers, ah iron merchant In London, has failed for a large amomoniit. The London Times advocates foe immediate discharge of Lord Raglan as incompetent, bit terly assails the Ministry, and says that Dal- honsie, the present Governor of India, is the only proper ^person for foe War Office. At the Vienna Conference, the representa tives of England, Franee and Austria, agreed upon and drew up an interpretation of the four points. The Austrian Minister carried the doc ument* to Gortcfaakoff, who was in company with the Prussian- Embassador. When asked if he was prepared to nccept foe interpretation without reserve or modification, he replied, his instructions were only to treat on thejiasis of the four points, and asked two weeks’ delay to confer with foe Czar, which was granted. Th* terms reported are neither hard nor hu miliating to Russia. The Russian interpreta tion of the four points are said to differ but lit tle from that of foe Allies. The seige works of the Allies at Sevastopol are advancing, and reinforcements arriving. Canrobert writes he fa able to.8&e the offen sive and make good bis losses. The army fa full of confidence. Scarcely a night passed without an attack being mode on the French lines. The French works extend to bottom Quarantine bay. but foe Russians con tested every inch of the ground. Gen. Scott’s Opinion.—The Washington cor respondent of the Charleston Mercury, gives the following outlines of General 8cott’s opinion of the war, from which it woold'appear that foe- old hero does not consider foe taking of Sevas topol by the Allies, as, by any means, a “fi'.ecl foot:” “The Allies committed 8 great blander in de laying the attack upon Sevastopol as long as they did; that immediately after the raising of the siege of Silistria they should have attacked. Sevastopol, at which time there was a compara tively small force in the'Crimea; that the Al lies cannot take Sevastopol unless they receive reinforcements giving them a superiority of force to the extent of from 30 to 50 per cent; that the Russian regular soldiers are foe best troops in the world for defence; they never fly, but perish unless ordered fo retreat He thinks the Allies labor nn'der a great disadvantage in having two commanding. Generals; that the i-ond to Victory fa through unity of design. The inference I would draw from Gen. Scott’s ideas, is that Sevastopol will not be token ; for I doubt whether the Allies can throw such. a. preponderance, of force there, *as is necessory. The General*further said,- that foe Allies coaid not re**embark now, without immense loss of men, and all foe materials of war in camp, ex cept the weapons in their hands. Attack upon Lord Raglan.—The English papers have commenced to attack Lord Raglan, the commander of foe English farces in the Cri mea, ascribing to his bad management, the pres ent deplorable condition of the British troops- before SevastopoL Tho London Times of De cember 20th says: “On the evidence of every letter that has been received in this country, .and we echo the opinion of almost every experienced soldier, or well informed gent’eman, we say that the no. blest army that England ever sent from these- shores has been sacrificed to the grossest mis- * management. And again: “What becomes of everything sent to Balaklava nobody know$,bnt, while they are rotting, thousands are perishing for tho want of them. Eveiybody can point ont something that should be done, bnt there fa nobody to or der it to be done, and fifty thonsand men, or what now remains of them, are drifting with their eyes open, bnt hand-bonnd,- spell-bound toward destruction.” The Liverpool Time* says: “Onr troops have lost the confidence in tho ability of their commander, and unless some thing be done to give them fresh hopes of suc cess, death will sweep them off faster than we can send ont reinforcements to supply their pla ces, and the seige mast eventually be raisecr, and under circumstances too terrible to contem plate.” A correspondent in the same paper speaks as follows: "At foe military dabs the general opinion fa, that the best possible Commander-in-chief at the Horse Guards, Lord Ragland, has been sent thence to make the worst possible Commander- in-Chief in the Crimea, for which be never had military experience; for, when in campaign* with the Duke of Welmington, though he had military rank, he was no more than a military secretary.” ■ Criminal.—There were throughout tho Union daring the past year, says an exchange, 6S2 murders and 84 executions. New York furnis hed the largest number (74) of murders, and California of executions, (15); There were no executions in Delaware, Florida, Georgia Indi ana, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, Now Jersey, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Vermont—Deleware, Rhode Island and Ver mont had but one murder each.

The Ideal Man. —Every tnan has, at times, in his mind, foo ideal of wbat he should be, but is not. This ideal may be high and complete, or it may be quite low and insufficient, yet in all men that really seek to improve, it is better than 1 , the actual character. Perhaps no one is satisfied with himself so that he can see nothing higher than himself. This ideal man which we project, as it wore, out of ourselves, and seek to make real—this wisdom, goodness and holi ness, which , we aim to transfer from our thoughts in our life—has an action more or less power ful on each man, rendering him dissatisfied with present attainments, and restless, unless he fa be coming better. With some men it takes tho rose ont of the cheek, and fores them to wander ho was tearing out largo roots from the ground by means of a hook and chain, fastened round his neck with a species of collar.
