The Vote for Speaker. We find the following editorial paragraph iu the Augusta Conttitutionalist, of Tuesday : " Where are the national Know Nothings from the South ? Where nre they from the East, or the North, or the West ? All cotnhiuiug against the father of tho Knnsas-Nebrnska bill. Pome are voting for Marshall, of Kentucky, and many are voting for candidates who sail under the flag of bla.k republicanism. The test we apply to them is tbe vote they give, and the company they keep." The Constitutionalist seems determined to place tbo American party, eveu including its Southern wing, in an attitude of friendship for the frce-soil- ers. We need not entnmout upon such a policy on tho part of our democratic cotemporary, or de fend the American par y against tbe injustice of •nch a charge. How tho above paragraph could have been written in the face of a statement of tbe actual vote that is published on the same page with it. we arc at a loss to know. The truth is, no man regarded as a National American haa yet voted for a candidate who is in favor of disturbing the Ne braska bill. They may not have voted for Rich- ! thither a goodly number of House members, cither wfelr aad U» (Pavaanah Railroads. The bill r m4 by oaly two votes this morning other Sena tors recorded their rotaa upon it, till finally the bill hung upon a single vote. Nearly the whole day was spent on Mr. Buchanan's motion. Mr. B. support ed U In a lengthy speech, and was aided by Messrs. Gone of Greono, and Pope of Wilkos s Messrs. Mil ler of Richmond, Gibson of Pike, Peeples of Clarke, Lawton of Dougherty, and Long of Glynn, took tbe other aide. The debate was ably conducted on both aides, and was listened to with the deepest in terest, not only by the Senate, but a large audience of outsiders. The exceeding closeness of the con tort, aud the slender thread ou which tho bill hung added to its great importance as txntoasnre, potont either for evil or for good, gave an interest to the •cene which it will require a more graphic pen than I wield, to describe. Tho contestants being at length through, having done their all, pro and rou, the vote was required to l*e taken. It was for n long time doubtful, which wav the scale would turn: but the clerk happened to strike a long string of “ nays" (against tho reconsideration) and as they came out, one after another to the amount of wear a dozen, the breathless silence was broken ; the (Viends of the bill breathed free. Mauy a time to-day, however, have they trembled for the fate of their darling, and thoir evident unensiness added much to the zeal of their opponents, who muy al most lie said to hnvc moved heaven and earth to crash the bill. But tho defence was gallant and firm. Tbe vote yesterday was 18 to 60. To-day, on the inotiou to reconsider, tbe vote stood Ayes 48, Nays 54. I should add that some of ;bo votes against reconsideration would have been cast against the bill, had it been up. Tho bill has yet to puss the House. BILLS tNRRODCCEn. By Mr. Miller, to reorganize (he Court of Com mon Pleas in the city of Augnsta—change its name—and give it criminal jurisdiction. By 31r. Fatnbro, to incorporate the Western A Atlantic R. II. Co., and to provide for the sale to said company of the W. A A. U. Road. Ordered to bo prin ted. By Mr. Gibson: to amend tbe act in relation to " appeals." Also a bill in reference to the manumission of slaves. Owners manumitting, must send tho slave out of tbe State, should be return, he is lia ble to be sold. Also a bill to define and limit the fees of witnesses in civil cases. Witnesses shall receive fees on but one subpaenu for attendance at the same term of the court, upon a cause or causes betw een the same parties. By Mr. Landrum, a bill making the owners of slaves hired, responsible for medicul fees incurred by tbe slave during the time ofhis hiring. By Judge Cone, o bill to incorporate the Bnnk of Madison, in the town of Madison. The charter is drafted in strict accordance with the “ Cone model." ' Tbe House proceedings of to-day are not very interesting or important. The debate in tbe other end of the Capitol, on the Railroad bill, attracted ardson,yet they voted for men as true on that qiies- specially interested in the fate of the bill, or anx- tiou as himself.

With as much such as it was. BILLS IMTRODl'CED. By Mr. Jones of Warren : a bill to tax all Bank proprloty may it be said that the Americans are J Agencies in this Stutc, of Bank:: not chartered by combined against Campbell, the Freosoil candidate, for they are voting as much against him ns they! are against Richardson. The vote shows conelu- j sivuly that tbe National Americans are standing j the State. The bill requires such Agencies to pro cure license good for twelve mouths only, and at the moderate price of 325,000. By Mr. Ward of Butts : to authorize the Govcrn- b.'tween tbe Democratic candidate and a perfect J or to refund any monies unlawfully paid into the immolation at the ltnnds of the Frcesoilers. Had tk”y a mind to favor the Frets oilers, they might ! have united with tiicuTbn the fir.-t ballet and liuvo , crushed the Administration candidate with their' combined power. Why inny not tho National Hard Democrats, many of whom nre not voting for Richardson, also be regarded as ‘'combined against < tho f.uh ir of the Nebraska, Kansas Ml]? Docs the 1 CjnstitutionaUst charge them, too, with unsound- j neis on the slavery question ? The position of the National Americans is s : m- . ply this : They nre opposed to the Admini.-tra- 1 ti n, aud t> the Frcesoilers, aud they are voting . against the candidates of both. This whole delay J in the election of a Speaker has he n caused solely , by their refusal to enter into combination or to ] have any thing t > do whatever with tho anti-slavery Treasury, by Tax Collectors, Receivers and Tax- Payor* ; tho bill requires proper evidence to bo submitted iu proof of wrongful payment. Iiy Mr. Lewis of Hancock : to incorporate tho "Hun -ock Internal Improvement A Banking Com pany.” Tho Company intend Banking until the sum of 3150,000 ia raised, to be used in the con struction of u Railroad from Sparta to some ouo of the Bonds uenr her.

The sum named is $100,000, to bo raised by tbo issue nnd sale of Stale Bonds, of $1,000 each, payable in New York, and bearing interest of 6 per cent, payable seini-nnnuoily : one half redeemable ill 15 years, and the residue in twenty year* : bonds not to lie sold below par. The following gentlemen are nuinad as Commissioners, Republicans. They vote for men with whom they ; •gree on tho Nebraska issue, nnd on every thing viz : Messrs. I L. Harris, Columbus. Hughes, W, •1ms; why should they vote for Richardson with i M. Wadley and Miller Grieve, whom they ngree on Ncbrnskn, and on nothing else! Again: if it he a matter of such vast mo ment, as alleged by our Democratic friends, that tbe House should be organized upon tbe Nebraska principle, and without respect to partv,whitt apology can they offer to tho country for planting themselves on one man, nnd obstinately refusing to vote for any body else, whether he bo for Nebraska or not ? Why not vote for a Whig who is right on that quosiion ? Why are honest men required to en- dorso both Nebraska,and an Administration which (hey despise?

In the last quarter of a century the population of Munich has beeu doubled, and he has made this city, to a groat extent, nn epitome of the chief ornaments of tho other European ci ties. He lins collected treasures of art from nil quarters, aud has creotod noblo Grecian temple* for tbeir reception and preservation. Nearly 800 ar tists, cither native or invited from all part* of Ger many, form a portion of tho permanent population. You see hero noble structures iu imitulion of the •arloiis styles of the past oeuturirs. Yon have a basilica ami other churches, all enriched with fres co paintings; thc new palace, in imitation of tbe Pitti at Florence; a reproduction of the Lnggio of Raphtel nt Homo; of the magnificent fountains of SL Peter’s; the arch of Constantine; the Imggia of Lausi, at Florence ; uinjcatic bronze, and other statues. It is by the encouragement alone -f King Lewis that the art of staining gln-s has m>t only been revived, but carried to a degree of perfection never before attained to. Thc best bronze statues in the world aro cast here, and the only good re fracting tele.-coi>cs in tho world are made here, by Merz A Son, the successors of tbe world-renowned Friiuinbofer. Paintings in oil; on porcelain; litho graphy ; steel and eopper engraving; fresco nnd encaustic painting; the plastic art, not only as ap plied to modelling, but to cements and stucco ; mor tars and artificial stone, for architectural and other purposes; the fabrication of bricks, or rather of terra cotta, (to use a generic term, applicable to ull forms, whether ordinnry bricks or mouldings,)— these and other arts have been carried, under the patronage of thc King, to a degree of perfection hardly credible. It would require pages to enu merate what this man—himself n good poet, and endowed with nn exqiiieito taste, cultivated by careful study—has accomplished. He began this j work—while coming to tbe propriated bis private income of some two millions of dollars a year, and a certain portion of the pub lic revenue; and this he has effectod, not by in creasing taxation, hut by keeping down to a very low figure his stnuding army. It is supposed that he has appropriated forty or fifty millions of dol lars to edifices and their decorations alone, separate from tbe acquisition of important objects of art, Ac. It is now some thirty-five years since the King brought here from Nuremberg an old man who —uimuccuwimoucu. ,iv vtj,»u vu.a t he drafts thu crown prince-several years before long been in „ le throne in 1825. To it he has ap- j 0 f 0ur own> is ’ of tho Atlantic are permitted to draw Exchnngo to be covorcd by future remittances, and balanoes to a largo amount thus accumulate, furnishing in point of fact au available capital to Bankers here. Or ders have come out by recent ateumurs to remit ns rapidly as possihlo, and many of our Banking house* hnvc not only ceased to be lenders of money, but in their turn have hecorao 'ia*""' or sell ers of pajmr which they had pre .. purchased, in order to raqiund us promptly ns possihlo to the calls from abroad. In this way they have not only become the leading buyers of good bills of Ex change, bill in thc absence of just such bills as they may think it advisable to remit, send bullion niul can to make up the difference. A moment’s re flection shows that Exchange sold to Bankers here to he remitted against balances previously contracted, is just so much withdrawn frani our available resources, and that its effect is precisely the fame ns 90 much money ilruwu abruptly from the market. Suppose, for example, that thc leading Bankers of this city and Boston have drawn Exchange to tho amount of ten millions of dollars, for which they remit iu other bills bought at a profit, or in specie, os opportunities offer: if money is easy in England, Lardy remittances arc acceptable, inas much as thc Bankers there makegood rates of in terest for tho money—nnd availing themselves of this credit, our Bankers thus obtain thc use of a large amount of English capital. But money be comes dear in England, und Bankers there find it \ necessary to stop advances—it follows that tho I capital must be withdrawn from this country rnp- ; idly. It is precisely this movement which is now j acting adversely upon our money market: Bankers arc paying up their hnlances, nnd the influence of the drafts thus made upon capital which has so use here, that it appeared to be part felt severely. The remedy is iu our • ample sources of payment, which, flowing in on j immense volume of our products to tho seaboard. J furnish new drafts upon England nnd Franco to : supply thoso absorbed in paying up balances.— I Bankers will continue to remit until their debts arc j liquidated, or until un easier state of money matters in Eurcpo permits them agnin to obtain credits; I but stili the supply of Exchange is destined to in- | crease, and largo exports must tell forcibly upon j our money market. Assuming these premises to bo correct, and nssu- wns somewhat versed in the art of staining glass, j ming also that the deficient crops of England arc Thirty years ago, the people of thc Ausuburb be- i to be made good by the abundance here, it is not ing about to erect a new church, the King offered * too sacguinc to expect that we shall be able to them a large subscription, and all the windows in 1 check tbe exportation of gold, and that too at no tained glass, if they would accept his plans. The ; very distant day. Manhattan. result was, tbe church of u Maria HU/," of which the last made windows arc equal if not superior to tho celebrated one in the cathodrnl of Arezzo.— The window first made cost some $12,000 ; tho last (For the Savannah R"|iub1irnn.] “Three men wore arraigned before tho Supreme Court, at Boston, on Wednesday, severally, for the murder of their wives! In the last caso before ones, of the same size, not half that sum—the di'- j the Court, for a similar offence, thc man was sent ference being due to the constaut improvement in j to P r * s0D f° r eighteen months!' the manufacturing processes. The perfection uow arrived at in stained glass is quite marvellous. I am not a competent judge, but I hnvc no doubt that it is superior to anything ever done of the kind during thc middle ages, and one principal reason for iny belief is, that the greatest painters of that day, so fnr ns I know, did not paint on glass, which some of thc first modern painters hero do. j constantly saying to tho South, And why should we not surpass thoso times in this * holier than thou.” Messrs. Editors:—Tbe above is ent from a Boston paper, where it appears without a single word of comment. Had it taken pinco in any Southern city, what a “ holy horror" would have been expressed by the editors of thc Tribune, Bos- tonjAtlas, Mrs. Tom. Beecher Stowe, nnd all others who love ful-chood better than truth, «nd who arc stolid hack; lam Consistency. art, as well ns in everything else ? There is now here (thanks to King Lewis for this and everything Iso) a royal manufactory of painted glass, the di rector of which is Henry Hess, one of the artistic celebrities of Germany. They arc now making there thu superb wind >ws for tho cathedral of Co logne. Thc brothers Scherer have n private es- ablishment, in which they do most lovely work.— One brother designs thc cartoons, another paints on the glass, and the third is charged with thu burning. This last is a most delicate process, per fumed from three to five times, according to the number of colors and other circumstances—gene- hrefc times. When thc plates of glass urc large, thc risk of breakage resulting from the itn- isc difficulty of preserving n perfectly equable heat is much increased. But thc other day nn nr- tist lost tbe fruits of ten months work, by the tin- equal expansion of thc glass. In glass painting, you select a pure white glass, aud lay. on,*as 011 canvass, your first or fundamental colors, then burn them in, increasing thc heat to thc point of vitrification, so that thc colors form a translucent part of thc glass. Then paint on nnd burn ngnin, nnd so on, till thc work is done. But how nre these colors thus vitrified? It is by mixing them with n glass flux, which is an intermedium of the precise nnturc of glass, which blends or causes to flow to gether the varkd colors into harmonious surfaces, like those laid on by the painter. This flux is composed generally of borax, pure silex, (quartz,) finely pulverised, and the red oxide of lead, which lust suhstanco parts with its color in tbe process of burning. Occasionally some other substances arc introduced into :. e flux, but these (the proportions being suitably varied) aro the principal ones. The colors nre, in tho first place, mixed with oil, which Columbus City Election.—Tho Enquirer of Tuesday says: Tho election on Suturday, for city officers, was conducted with groat quiet, and on unusual want of Interest. Tho nnti-Amcrican had no ticket iu the field, contenting themselves with the hope of now and then slipping in an officer in u general scramble. In this way they succeeded in electing two or three Aldermen. Thc rest of thc officers, from the Mayor down, ure all of tho right stamp ns to politics, nnd we venture hut little in asserting will prove themselves true to thc interests of the pooplo whose votes havo elevated them to their several honorable und responsible positions. 1 Titr. “Hard Shells."—Tho New York corres pondent of the National Intelligencer says that the organ of the Hard-Shell Democrats in' that city i'idignnntly denies that any members of that sec- ti <n of thc party were present nt tho roeont moot ing for thc purpose of reuniting the Democracy, and declares that the Hards nre not now in the least tlegree anxious to unite with tho Softs, “ex cept upon the terms of the latter abandoning their irregular Frccsoil organization, formally reading the Van Burens out of their ranks and coming back repentant to the fold.” What think our Georgia democratized Whigs of this? After quitting their old friends and uniting with tho Democracy in order to got intoa “sound party,’ it seems the sound portion of it is now repu diating their fellowship! The ense of Ilnrriet Smith vs. Tulmunn Phillips, which has been on trial in the United States Dis trict Court of Massachusetts for the last week or two, was concluded on Wednesday, This is a suit by plaintiff to recover a note for $25,000, on tho following grounds: One Reuben Smith, an old evaporates by heat, leaving tho flux to supply its j n , nn „f sixty years of oge formerly n servant in the place. All the colors used in glnssor porcelain puinting nre metallic oxides. Others arc dissipated or changed by hent. Modern chemistry, tho great hand-inaid of medical, agricultural and other sci ences, is one of the agents—the principal one— which has given to the glass painting of this day a decided superiority over that of tho middle nge. It has discovered, as every one knows, numerous metals unknown in that day. Tho oxides of chrome, of antimony, Urnn, and a great many others, were not known or not used then. Those lovely violets, certuin shades of red, and numerous colors now used, were not known in tho middlo age. Thus the superiority of the art in this dny is manifest, from three Several causes. First, thc drawing and coloring of the artists of Munich is far superior, (eveu supposing other things equal,); second, tho number of colors is vastly increased; and third, they use now plates of glues many times grentcr than they did in the middle ages, so that tbe pic tures nre altogether more satisfactory. As for tho drawing, there is no comparison to bo made be tween most of the stiff, ungainly figures of the time past, nnd thoeo designed by the eminent Munich urtistn of the present dny. There aro several firms hero distinguished in this line. In spanking of thc Scherers, I might have added that they have just executed charming cartoons, from which they aro to fabricate two stained windows for n Roman churah in Buflulo, N. Y. They vill cost about $1,200 of our money, each. I regretted not having money enough to send a stoined window to our new church of St. John's. I never felt thc want of wealth more than here, where there nre so many lovely creations of art to enjoy.

GaltorrUt, th* well-know* correspond**! at th* Cuarrier tie* Estate I'nie, writes M follows, from Paris, under date of October 4th 1 The Prene has Jnsl completed the publication of the Life of Caesar, by M. de Lamartine. Alexandre Dumas is publishing a work on the same subject In the Moosaurtnirt. M. da Lamartine has treated the life of bis hero like a political epic. Dumas treats it as an amusing comedy. He gutberi* up ail tho anecdotes, aud loses himself in the midst of digressions. Ono writes like Suelouius, the other like Tacitus. The work of M. do Lamartine has produced considerable sensation, ami very naturally. For it is something more than an entertaining book, it is a political pamphlet which displays great boldness iu the present circumstances, aud this net of liter ary temerity contrasts strikingly with tbe reserve preserved till uow by the former presideut of the provisional government. It was thought he had given up politics altogether, but here we find him again in the political arena, armed from head to foot, under thc mask of history. His work abounds iu allusious to thu present time, and Ceosar up- pears there much more us a frame than as a pic ture. Other figures present themselves there as often as his own, und the dead is only a nail on which to fastfn the living. The history of France, in Qne, palpitates at every iustout, under thc his tory of Rome. M. do Lamartine docs not hesitate to say that Cmsor merited, by his crimes, the twenty-three blows of the dagger which prostrated him at tho toot of the statue of Pouipoy, at the tuument he was about to bo proclaimed king. The author draws up such a terrible accusation aguinst the victim, anil paints Midi a beautiful picture of Brutus, the chief of his murderers, that the rcador naturally usks himself, if tin's is not un uuducious puuogyrie ot political ussit&siuulion, and ii the/o-o- curcor imperinl will not havo a bone to pick with 1 lie author. “Opinion was fixed," says thu author, "the design seemed so honest that it wn.« not a cunipiot in tho mind of thc conspirators. It whs tile coiip d' etat of the republic, the just retaliation ol liberty." M. -le Lamartine treats not less eloquently tho question whether the republic was actuully decay ing at Rome when Ctosur cuuie to destroy it. He undertake" to prove that it stili had great vital power from the fact of its furnishing an army of seven hundred tliousnnd citizens, who defended it at the battle of Pliursulia, Thupsus und Muuda.— At tho surne time that he fulminates his accusa tions ngain-t the reputation of thc conqueror nt Pliursulia, M. du Lamortiue undertakes to sustain the honor of Cataline. That is a point of rctnurk- abie resemblance between his history of Ctcsur and his history of the Girondins, which is a sort of apotheosis to Robespierre. These two works arc two mauefcetocs, inspired by the same spirit—one be fore and the other after tho Republic of February, 1848. ») (For th* Savannah Hepatol Th* Crttta.

Fasrionadle Intelligence.—At 8 o’clock la*t evening, at the Metropolitan, Mr. Edward Arthur Lawrence, of thin city, was united in marriage to Miss Mary Mickle, daughter of ex-Mnyor Mickle. The ceremony took pluco in the parlor of the hotel, and was witnessed by nearly three hundred of the relatives nnd intiuiutc friends of tho parties.— Among those present we noticed Senntor Dickin son, Governor Ditnond, of Rhode Island : Hon. Robert J. Walker, Commodore Nicholson, U. S. N*. Thomas Francis Meagher, Esq., Hon. J. M. Den ver, member of Congress from California ; Gen. Escnndor, of Mexico ; Stanhope Prevost, Esq., Judge Roosevelt, Charles II. Morgan Esq. ; Hon. Pre-ton King, Ex-Mayor Ivingsland, Gen. Tall- mndgo, and many otiier distinguished persous.— Thc array of carriages made quite an excitement about tbe hotel, and tho audience nt the ceremony numbered a* many ns a thousand. After the cere- monyn splendid entertainment was given,including n soiree dansante, in one of the large dining-rooms, and n supper, in the best style of the Metropolitan, was given in tho other. This may ho considered n« tbe opening of the fashionable season.—-V.

Good Middling >' .as*; Middling Fair A^agf Canadian Ladies Odliged to Come to the States for a Divorce from their Husbands.— The subject of divorce is now agitated in not only new works by American writers, but it is gaining much attention in Europe. Three writer* v>f note have recently touched upon the subject. The one, Miss Bronte, in “Jane Eyre," tbe second, Mrs. Norton, in “ Stuart of Dunleatb," and Mr. Dickens in “ Hard Times," is tho third. But the great dif ficulty in divorce cases, if too great latitude is given, lies in the fact that we cannot tell where it will end. Iu Canada it requires a fortune to get a decision in such mutters. There, ns in Connecti cut foriustonco it goes before the legislature, with this difference, that in the Provincial Parliament the applicant is compelled to deposit with the clerk of tho house some $75 for printing expenses, be- tore a bill of complaint enn he read. Alter that it is referred to a standing committee of three ;b fore they net further upou it another sum has to he de- po-tiled to pay for sending for witnesses and wit- iiesscs fees, and per diem allowance. For n di vorce net, where there is but little trouble of proof, from $40(1 to $S00 nre soon used up in this way. If strongly contested, the snug sum of $2000 is nn easy get off. This puts it nut of thc powes of peo ple of indigent circumstances to obtain n divorce. In Connecticut; however, thc expeuse of legislating on the subject is paid by thc people. The same law exists in England ns in Canada; none hut the wealthy can dissolve a union, however pugnnnt by crime. In this State, courts have tho jurisdic tion; hence there arc many who repair to this side from Canada to rid thom«clvcn of the burthens of the tormentors.—Buffalo paper. Mi'HDEROrs Attempt.—We were surprised, nny, shocked, to learn that nn effort wiis made on Saturday night last, to murder Mr. Isaac Henry, 1 ite President and Cnsliier of thc Branch oi the State Bank, in this city f at his residenco on the Sand Hills. It appears that he had, about ten o’clock, re paired to his hod chamber to retire for the night, when the report of a gun was heard, two halls Iron which pitted through the window and lodged in the wall inside of the apurtment, without touching him. When wo contemplate thc extreme debility and feebleness of Mr. II., from long ill licnitli, we can not hut regurd thc nttcuipt to assassinate him ns one of the greatest outrages that could ho perpe trated. Indeed, we can but hope that it wa* (lie result of accident on the purl of some one, n negro perhaps, who was hnmlling tho weapon, und fears to acknowledge it; for we do not suppose that Mr. II. has nn enemy, iu his present condition.— Augusta Chronicle <t Sentinel. A College Battle.—From oil accounts it ap pears that a sort of civil wnr is raging in Ronnoko College, Va. A largo portion of the students hnvc rebelled against the authorities of tho institution, and havo succeeded in winning over to their cause a portion of the faculty Tho difficulty originated in the dismissal of a student for not attending re citation. Tho students conceiving Hint an impor tant principle was involved iu thin transaction— that it in fact trenched upon thoir rights ns a body, made the enusoof the excelled member thoir own, nnd declured wnr aginst the faculty. As a conse quence tho recitation hulls were deserted, and everything like study ignored ; a procession formed which paraded in disorder tho streets of finlom ; in dignation meetings held in tho chapel; thu build ing placarded witU "students’ righto" and sur- mounted with a flag; inflammatory speeches made ; pledges sealed never ngnin to attend Professor Halsey’s recitations, and to hnvo tho dismissed student reinstated nt any risk. At this stage of tho proceedings a meeting of tho resident members of thc Board was called, and negotiations opened betwean tho belligerent parties. Tho truco result- toi in a compromise which divided tho faculty, n portion siding with tho students, whilst tho other, embracing Prof. H. and tho professors of Modern Languages and Natural Sciences, considering that too much had been yielded to tho refractory stu dent.", declined performing duty until tho whole matter could ho referred to tho trustees. And thus Iho bnttlo recommenced and with renewed vigor. The »ludents being strengthened by tho nllinni'o, were now confident of success, which no doubt they cunsidcr complete upon learning that the dissenting professors Imd withdrawn from tho Faculty. For these facts we are iudobted to n cor respondent of tho Lynchburg Virginian. Hot It to understood that the dreia-mnking tuiMim-'f'S is about to ho incorporated with cooper ing.

T., to lie jiiiiiiit-il on his shutter, the oue green and the other bhu'k. Not long after, sodm* porson observing it, inquired what it ineaut. “Why, you great goose, you," said the trailer, " Us gran tea and Hack t cm." Vegetable Growths of California.—An ag ricultural show ha? just been held nt Sacramento, at which tho productions of thc country were ex hibited fur prizes. Tho show of animals was re markable only ns given evidence of considerable improvement in thc breed of horses since tbo Amer icans have been in possession of thc State. Thu exhibition of fruits nnd vegetables was really cu rious—tho former from their variety and precocity nnd the latter from their gigantic size. Pumpkins weighing 120 pounds, beet-root 74 feet long, and a stalk of Indian corn 34 feet high, were among tho “monsters ’’ of the exhibition. Tho vegetables of this country grow with a luxuriance unequalled elsewhere, hut they arc deficient in flavor. It ap pears that peach nnd pear trees frequently pro duce n double crop in tbe same senson. The pro duclivonsss of tho strawberry plant is also very rcmarknhlo. An Amfbicax Vtssri. Fired At.—Cupt. Nickerson, o schooner Harbinger, which arrived at Ho<ton on Sunday fnii Jacmel, reports that when half way between Cape Tlbcron mid Capo Dnimn Marin, his vessel was fired nt from tho xhore, the cannon hull passing only about ten feet nslrrn.
