DISABILITIStS OF CALIFOPNIA BACHBLOHI—
LEGAL PROTECTION TO Hm^RSO.
The Washinglnn Globe, edited by John
C. ltivers, an inveterate old bachelor, has the
following article:
An net haa bnen intrndneed in the Califor.
nin Ananmldy, to lie exempt frkm attachment,
execution or garnishment, one moulh'a wa
ges,not exceeding one hundred nnd titty dol
lars, of “married” tneelmuies, laborers and
cleiks, and of persima having under their
chnrge, and dependent on them for support,
fotbers, mothers, minor hmlhers or sisters,
children of a deceased Vise, or other orpbau
chihlien*
On this proposed preference of married f..
single men, a bachelor writer, in tins ban
Francisco Bulletin, sorrowfully comments as
f I'owg: ■
“ The Yankee notion of putting all the
bunletis of taxation and gowenmient upon
single men is becoming alarmingly prevalent
throughout the whole country, aud it wout
lie long before they (the bachelors) will have
to organise for their own protection. The
washerwomen impose upon us-—tlie landla
dies tyranisc over arid bully us—the uiArried
mpn ‘■snub’ us.—and the law-makers fleece us
in every way imaginable,besides making odi
ous exceptions to our disadrautage. If a
war breaks out, who so proper a volunteer
lor a ‘ bould soger boy’ as your bachelor ?
The whole community calls on him to go to
he wars, and be a candidate for glory, and
food for powder. It doesjPt make sdj dif
ference, say these kind-hearted people, if lie
does get killed—there is no body to care for
him ; never considering that the poor fellow
might have a care for himself. And thus
they continually irritate, annoy and badger
us, like a bull in a ring, until, in a fit of des
peration, the poor bachelor either throws
himself away oh the first petticoat that comes
ill his way, or else takes to the sen, the field,
or—poised.”
The credit or shame of originatinga legal
preference of married men to bachelors does
not rest with tlie inventive Yankee,who have
applied the means used by the ancient na
tions for the promotion of marriage. The
Roman censors frequently imposed fines oil
idd-bacholers. Dion. Halicarnassus mentions
an old Constitution, by whieti all persona ol
full age were obliged to marry. But the
most celebrated law of this kind was the Ju
lian law, which Horace mentions, made un
dor Augustus, ‘by which premiums were
awarded to married men, and bachelors were
made incapable of receiving legacies or inher
itances, except from their near relatives.
The Jewish rabbis lufiintsin that, by tlie
laws'of Moses, afl persons,with a few excep
tions, are obliged iif conscience to in rry at
twenty years of age. One of their maxims
declares bachelors to he homicides,
LyeurgHs. the Spartan law-giver, was es
pecially hostile to celibacy. By hi* laws,
bat helnrs were pronounced infamous, exclu
ded from all offices, civil nnd military, and
even from the shows and public spoil*. Ai
certain feasts they were forced toappuar, for
public contempt, aud to sing songs iu theii
own derision. ITT . h
Iu Greht Britain, taxes have been repeat
edly levied on tlie unmarried, ns by the law
passed in 1695, in the seventh year of the
i(2gu of William 111., which iin|Msini a tax
on bachelors, after twenty-five years of age,
of twelve and a half pounds sterling tor a
duke, and one shilling fra common person ;
and the taxes laid on others have been in
creased in respect to bachelors,as in the case
of the duty on servants, passed in the tweii
ty fifth year of the reign’ of George 111
But really the California bachelors have
yet no cause of complaint; for the proposed
law, if adopted, will not equal iu rigor any
of those we have just mentioned. In fact,
is not rigorous at all; lor it does not impose
any penalties upon bachelors but, only •ac
cords certain privileges to married men. Fui
the protection of the, married, and of otlieis
who endure heavy burdens, aud perhaps, iu
cidentaUy, ns aty inducement to marriage, it
exeicisoa the high legal prerogative of mer
cy, but does not the opinion of ancient law
givers, require the infliction of severe pun
isment upon the obstinate single.
If, ns the bachelor writer of the Bulletin
seems to fear, tlie California Legislature in
tends to turn its Af'eniHiiYjn tbe best means
of promoting marriage, it might be Well for
the bachelors of the {state to unite in a me
morial to that body, setting forth that the
growing extravagance of young ladies lias
made n a triage a costly luxury, a'tainable
only by the rich; that the celibacy of young
men, therefore, is not perverse aud volunta
ry, or caused by a disregard of public duty,
but compulsory and necessary; and that
public policy and justice to young men (Je
mund the pnssage, of a law,,similar in charac
ter to the Maine liquor law, prohibiting the
sale of dry goods, except in limited quanti
ties to each purchaser iu eases of necessity.
Such a statement of lamentuble facts would
place the responsibility of the alarming in
crease of celibacy where it rightly belongs,
by showing that the comparative poverty,
aud not the will of Young America, con
sents to the dear loneliness of single life.
It is stated that withjn the Inst twenty-
Jwo yenni the Baptists have gained of 6,525
chnrcfies, 4,224 ministers, siiq 593,6j-9 mem
bers, being an annual increase of 33.5 church
es, 192 IntiiistorA.snd 26,529 members. The
increase for tlte Inst ten years Iws been nisch
greater in the Southern than in the Northern
States—the greatest increase having been iti
Virginia, Alabama and Missouri.
A receut traveler iu Northern Texas,men
tions as a natural curiosity in the valley at
foot of the Canadian mountain, “a large
bed of natural brick, which urq about three
times thy axe of nrdiuary brick, and areas
perfect as though tliey had I>een manufac
tured in the best Wick kiln in the couuWy.

AH AKXANBAB, “ NOATI3 “
Ine recent tnor tfirobgh one of fbe wild
est and most aparsety-OeHled regions of Ar
kansas, (say* a correspondent of a New
York paper,) I arrived at the ferry on the
Ohache river. Jt little log-house grooery
stood on the near hank, about fifteen steps
from where the fiat lay, tied to a snag in flip
edge of the Water, Beferal bear-skins deer
skins, and conn-skins, were nailed up to dry
against tho walls of tlie grocery, but the
ihtor was closed and no barkeeper, ferryman,
or other person, was in sight. 1 hallooed at
tlie top of my voice some half dozen times
ixit no one answered. Seeing an advertise
ment on tlie d*nr, i read as follows^
” Noatis.—Ef eimy Imdy enms hear arter
ticker, or to get Akross the River. They
can ge# Uo this here home and es f dnnt cent
when my wife Betsy tip at the House hears
the Horne a bloin slude cum down and sell
the licfeeror aet wn akross the river, imp
gtiine s Fishing no credit when ime aws>
front Home joint Wilson N. B. thtm that
cant rede will hove to go too the house arter
Betsy taint but half a mile thar.”
In obedience to tlie “Noatis,” I took the
blowing horn, which stuck in a crack of the
wall close by the door; I gave it n “toot” or
two, which reverberated far around, through
cane and swamp, nd hi n few minutes was
answered by a voice scarcely less lound by
reverberating than that of the horn—it seem
od to be about a half, a mile kpAhe river—
aud in about fifteen minutes a stalwart female
made her appearance, aud asked if I wfauted
“ licker.” „ ”
“No, madam; I want to cross.the river, if
you please.”
*’ Hunt ye want some licker fust ?”
“ No, madam—don't drink—never touch
liquor.”
“ Never tech licker I Why then , you must
be a preacher, an’t you ?”
“No, madam; I am only a son of temper
ance.
I wish to get across the river, if yeu please
—do you row the boat 7”
no time. Fetch np your hoss..”
Bfeuj’?d> asking as I led the horse Info
the boat, “ Did your Imsbaud write that ad
vertisement on the door there?”
“ No, sir-eel Schoolmaster Jones writ that.
John hain’t got no larnin !” “
And tlie good woman rowed the boat safe
ly across the ugly stream ; and, liandiug her
the ferriage-fee, I bade her good morning,
believing then,—as I still do— that she was
one of the happiest women and best wives I
ever saw, perfectly contented with her lot,
because she knew no better.
The laymen of Pittsburgh hold meetings
daily nt 8 o’clock A. M. They are well at
tended hy serious, earnest inen, and are do
ing much good. A few mrornings since s
prayer meeting was held in s neighboring
town, at whiden ludicrous affair took place,
which, as it is true and dan do no harm, I am
tempted to tell. It ts a rirle.iliat no prayer
shall'exceed three minutes in length. “An
old geii’lcmsti was called on to pray. He
said he could not regulate his voice nor raise
his spirits in the time allowed, but lie re
membered a prayer his children said at night,
and lie would repeat it :
“ Now I lay me flown to sleep,
* I prtiy the Lerfl my iM to keep:
If I should di before I wake *
I pray the Lord tny soul to take.”
•The hour was 8 A. M. when thia took
place, and even grave deacons and venera
ble mothers of the church were forced to
smile. In the midst of the merriment caus
ed” hy this untiiriely’ invocation. Deacon
A , a pious mail, hut n most incorrigible
wag, took the floor, and, after stating that
lie would confine himself to the three min
utes rule, closed liis eves, clasped his hands,
and with the gravity of fifty pastors, said:
Lord ! I have risen from my bed:
In truth and virtue I'd be led:
And should I diebeftue I slcp.
Dear Lord ! my soul in glory keep!
The deacon sat down, and despite his at
tempt at gravity, his lips twitched, and close
■ daiervers saw a mischievous twinkle in his
keen, gray eyes.
An itiuersnt letter writer for tho Boston
Pos., supposed to be John G. Saxe, tells
the following story in out* of his ainuscing
letters written, from Tennessee : Not. less
than four yearslago Andrew Johnson (pnpu-..
hnly called “ Andy ”) now, iu the LJuiieu
States Semite, whs the Democratic candidate
for Governor of -Tennessee against Gentry,
American. Parson lirownlnw, the notorious
“fighting Methodist,” of the Knoxville Whig
was the warm partisan of Gentry. East
man as the conductor of’ the leading Demo
cratic journal, was of course with Johnson,
and as is his wont, gave the enemy vigorous
and telling blows. Gentry Was defeated, hut
in honor of his “ brave associates, partners
■if his toil,” .he celebrated the event by a
grand supper, at which Browniow was pres
ent. When the company had got pretty
dccjrfy into their cups, and were growing
rattier boisterous,.the parson (who appears to
be a tcetottalier) thought he Imd better qptire,
and was making a movement to that effect,
when he was stopped by Gentry with the ob
servation that “No minister, of the Gospel
should come into his house and enjoy his hos
pitality and gooff without praying In the
family.” Browniow fell the rebuke, and at
once set about bis duty. lie read a chapter
in the Bible, snug a hymn, and commenced
a prayer, Hu prayed for Gentry and his
bouseliold and friends: for the welfare of
Tennessee, of the national confederacy, the
American Eagle, and the star spangled ban
ner; for Christendom tnd heathendom ; for
tbs universe and, tho rest of mankind.’’—
“ And finally,” said the parson, “we pray
thee, O Lord, if It be /tossthle, in the pleni
tude of thy mercy, to par .on and save Andy
Jelmaou and E, G. Eastman”—Stop !
Stop!” exclaimed Gentry, “don’t let him
do that— ti would exhaust the plats of sal on
tioml’’ f ...

Bill about ole Fatty Burns an hia express
bull ride. Artec they got outen the lane they
-attack a piece eve timber lan, and thar lie
lust his Wepun, the bnsklt, then lie betuk his
sejf tn onwitidin the rope often the bull's
horns, ah rapped hit mun his lef Iran. Squire
Mills lies a monstrous fifth cross ,ole bull,
what hes the Froggy Mountain range fur his
snkit this year. He jist goes wliar he dom
ed please—an thinks his self some applet
among dried grapes ur simmohs. An Ire hap
pen tube a browsiu about in this yero woods,
an lienrin Ole Stick a hellerin lie got mad an
tuck hit fur a clutllingc au a insult tu. So he
r.tked up sum dirt with his front huff an
sprinkled it over his back; then lie dug sum
more outen a bank with his horns and lifted
hit with his foot aud spread hit over his self,
then he tuck a extra twist ur two in his tail
and (dated hit si rate up in the ajr, an about
ibis time felt ready tu mete the devil,
bon, et he cum in shape ove a cow beste.—
Ole Sock aud Ids rider cum in situ a trniu.au
they smelt each other. Both wer ded game
an’ monsrotts lint under the culler ; so a big
yeatli sliakut Ate wur morally domed surtiu,
barin a lick ove liteneu or a ride shot inter
won ove thar curls. E* soon a* Ole Burns
seed tether bull, he understood adzactly what
wur cumin an when; so he leaned his sell
b'tck miter the rope powerfully, till he pulled
the stirup loops tile no fast outer his shoes, an
he haulded Ole Hock's nose an lip way up
atwaen his eyes by the ring, sorter like hint
ing a raw hide outen a vat with a lion hook ;
his face looked like hit wur skined, or a deil
beef's lied ‘onto n five bull’s body. He wm
the wust broking cow brute in the face ye
ever seed, au made Ids hellerin sound like he
had the rattles. But in spite ovo all this,
Sock steamed ahead strate towards his inimy.
He didn’t keer a single diiru for eny thing
since his intdrcoorse with the honey makers
an Ids mistifikashiiin in that nr haskit. Ok-

he’d thrive in a laid uniskitter country.they’d
never git in suckiii dis’aps ove him. But hit
all wor hard thrashli) wasted. The two het
lerin mersheens associated—they sot thar
beds together like two drunk loeouttitlve*
wud. Wlien they Idt down emtt thar tails
tmt they histed em agin in a inomeut <m n
shakiil ove em at the pints, sorter like they
wanted til git the dust outen the liar. The
shock futch Ie Burns ohteu tbe-dogwood sa
il,! an outer the neck; but he crawled bark
(turned quick, an never stopped his tbrashiu
ove cm over the bed aud eyes. The next
titno they mixed they cum by guess, with
liter eyes shut, for fear ove the. perpetual
brushin nicnhecn. Hit just rained brush
well mixed with sitm orful short Iran casein.
The Mills bull’s a uiily smart krifier to be
cow bostc, au he preqiated adzactly Ole
Bums’ power with a hand foil ove b.usli.—
Ho while h>fo Sock war a gwiiie thru a gran

then Ids tail turn down a swish, and he
wur tuck along wheel barrar fasliun, onto his
lore laigs, motisroas fast an powerful agin his
convenience. Witft ‘the sniellin aid ove his
lied drawd higher n'oFJfVer towards. Ina curl,
the brush merslieeu still in blast and gpUin
faster and harder, and Ole Burns snatching
of more. The hellerin and cussin were now
mixed ni ontn es eku! es a keerfnl man mix

Ule Hock wur hastened in this onnateral, aw
