POETRY. - “MUCH T«T REMAINS CKiU.NO.” Hoa-e-fltanlnt;. “The melancholy days bare come, the saddest of the year.’’ Os cleaning paint and scrubbing floors, and scouring far and near ; Heaped in the corner of the room, the ancient dirt lay quiet, And spiders wore their web secure from fear and din and riot ; Cot now the carpets all are up, and from the stair-case top The mistress calls to man and maid to wield the broom and mop. Where are those rooms, those quiet rooms, the house but now presented, Wherein we dwelt, nor dreamed of dirt, so cozy aDd contented ? Alas ! they are turned all upside down, that qniet suit of rooms, With slops and suds, aod soap and Band, and tubs, and pails and brooms. Chairs, tables, stands are standing 'round at sizes and at sevens, While wife and housemaids fly about like meteors in the heavens. The parlor and the chamber floor were cleaned a week ago. The carpet shook and windows washed, as all the neighbors know; But still the sanctum had escaped—the table piled with books, Tens, ink and paper all about, peace in its very looks— 'Till fell the women on them all, as falls the plague on men. And then they vanished all away—books, pa pers, ink aDd pen. And now, when comes the master home, as come he must at nights, To find all things are “set to wrongs’’ that they have “set to rights.” * When the sound of driving tacks Is heard, though the bouse Is far trom still, And the carpet women are on the stairs, that harbinger of ill— He looks for papers, hocks or bills, that all were there before, And sighs to had tb< m on the desk or in the drawers no more. And then be grimly thinks of her who set this fuss afloat, And wishes she were out at sea in a very leaky boat; He meets her at the parlor door, with hair and cap awry, t With sleeves tucked up and broom In hand, defiance in her eye; lie feels quite smalt, and knows full well there’s nothing to be said, So holds his tongue, and drinks his tea, and sneaks away to bed. Foreign lUm<, rtir Morion Ptlro, In his Resources and Pros pects ol America, save: The relative importance of the textile man ufactures of Great Britain and the United States is indicated by the numbers of the cot ton spindles worked by the two countries in 1860. Whereas the United States In that year worked 5,2115,727 spindles, Great Britain worked 30,387,267 spindles. Knolisu Alk.—Burton-upon-Trent is the metropolis ot the brewing trade. There, Allsop’u Brewery alone coders thirty acres of ground, giving employment to nearly a thou sand workmen, and producing, on an average, nearly 1,000 gallons of ale each day in the year. Besides the vast quantities of ale and beer consumed in England, 616,366 barrels, valued at £2,060,869, were, in 1836, sent to foreign countries and the colonies. On the other baud, 23,100 puncheons of brandy, 33,500 puncheons of rum, and 114,000 '.pipes ot wine were received from abroad for English ose. All the rum oome from the West Indies, most of the braudy from Franoe. Os the wlnfe nearly half waß Spanish, about a quarter Por tuguese, and a flfth French, the remainder being chiefly Italian and Kheinish, with a very scanty supply from the Cape. It is satisfactory to learn ttiat Cape wine is buing banished from the market. In 1859, more than 8,608 pipes were imported: In 1866 there were hardly 460 pipes, and of these not half were sold. The much abused Oobdon Treaty 1b steadily taking .effect in encouraging a healthy preference for the light winas of France, Italy, Greece and Hungary, not only overmuch vile concoctions as Cape port and sherry, but over the inferior and doctored products of Spanish and Portu guese vintage. ENQLUUU OOAI„ At present, King Coal In monarch absolute. Wo cannot cook our food or warm our houses without it. Without it those wonderful manufacturing establishments that are the olilei causes of our commercial greatness in modern times could not possibly be carried on. In England and Wales there are seventeen coal fields. By far the largest of them is that of South Wales. Its greatest thickness is 10,- 000 feet, exceeding that of any other in the world save the basin of Nova Sootla. Its pres ent yield Is 0,000,000 tons a year, and the same annual product may he drawn from It lor two milloniums to como. Next to it in else is the Derbyshire and Yorkshire coal-fields, which yield more than 12,000,000 tous a year, aud can go on doing so for seven centuries without being exhausted. In it there are 581 collieries spread over a surface of 700 square miles. The great Durham and Northumberland basiD, which furnishes Newcastle coal, covers an area of 400 miles, and contains 268 collieries, whence are dug about 16,000,000 tons of coal each year. The Lancashire district, with half the area yields about halt as much coal, though giving work to 390 collieries, The other Kuglish uH much smaller, aud, tukeu altogether, ao not iurnish as much coal as the Durhum aud Northumberland dis trict. Some of them, like the famous Coal brook, Dale tield, iu Shropshire, are already nearly exhausted. In Scotland there is one vast deposit touching the southern slope of the Grampian Hills, with nn area of about 1,720 square miles, at present yielding less Ilian 10,000,000 tous a year. Altogether, Great Britain now produces neariv 70,000,000 tons each year, less than half that quantity being drawn from all other parts of the world. Even If there be exouse for fearing that we are using up our fuel too fast, it is evideut that we are using it to wonderful advantage. IRON. ' Iu 1741, before charcoal furnaces were Introduced only 17,350 tons of iron were pro duced in the whole of Great Britain. In 1848, the quantity was‘eighty times as great. In 1807 it had risea to 3,059,347 tons. In 1805 it w«s certainly *ot les* than 4.200,000 tons.

Dispatch.] i Romance In Real Life-—Two Brothers fleet ' in the Sold Regions After a Reparation of Fifteen Years—J > at Rome. Some fifteen years ago Hugh Me , then a youth of this city, determined to seek his for tune in the then newly-discovered land of gold in California After securing the funds neces sary to see him safely through the “overland route," he bade adieu to his parents, sisters and brothers, and went forth to gather the precious ore that wa3 to make him, and those connected with him by the ties of relationship, independent of poverty’s chilling blasts. He reached Eldotado in due time, hut his success wan that of thousands of others who went thither before ahd after him—as a general thing unsuccessful. For a time he corres ponded regularly with his friends at home, but at length his letters grew ices frequent, and at last no tidings reached bis parents as to the whereabouts or situation of their absent boy. For five long years no news of Hugh Me reached his agonized parents. Was he dead ? Had he forgotten them ? Would they never seu him again ? were questions often asked, but never satisfactorily answered. As he was the “darling son,” his mother could not endure the suspense, and determined, cost what It might, to kaow his fate, and declared that she would travel ail over the gold regions, and never return until she found her hoy, If living, or his resting place, if dead. At this juncture Mark Me—, a young man who had just returned from the army, in formed his mother that he would be the “Japhet" who would go forth in the search of his long lost brother. This arrangement proved satisfactory, and in a few days he was away on his errand of love. After many weary months of travel and fruitless inquiry, be reached Ruby City, in Idaho Territory. Here he put up at a piaio-looking hotel, and after partaking ot retresbments, made bis ac customed inquiries as to whether the landlord knew a man pamed Hugh Me , who had been in the gold regions some fourteen ors fif teen years To his surprise and joy he was informed that a man of that name was then in the city of Ruby, and that he could be found at lhe “salesToom" across the way, where certain parties were engaged In selling valuable gold mining claims. Thither he wended his way, and after paring fifty cents for admission, found himself faoe to face with bis long lost broihe-, who, of course, did not recog nice in the man the boy ho had left years before. Letter from Sirs. 1, 8. Johnson ' The following letter, written by the widow of General Albert Sidney Johnson, was ad dressed to Colonel Thomas McKinney, of Texas : San Francisco, October 29, 1864. Mr Dkak Friend— A long time has elapsed since we have heard of each other, and many terribly sad things have occurred since we met let me hope that time has not altered the kindly feelings that existed between our fami lies and that Providence has not stricken those you love with the heavy hand that has fallen upon mine. I would like very much to see you all once more, and oftou think of the old days of quiet In Texas, days unhappily never to return. You have hoard, I suppose, of the loss of my dear son Sidney just one year after his father. He was a grand, noble boy, all I could wish for my child to be, just eighteen a few days before I lost him. God has afflicted me, dear friend, almost beyond my strength to bear. My son Hancock McClnng (Clungy,) Is now clerk and cashier ot the New Almoden Quick stiver Mines, about soventy«five miles trom Ban Francisco ; he gets SIOO a month and helps to support me and the little ones. Maggie, fourteen years old next month, an inch taller than I am, and Griffin, born at San Antonio, is eight years old, and little Lizzie, born alter her father left here, four years old, are all my family now. lam teaching a school, and although I have been assisted by the Southern people here, I find it difficult to get along. I have thought that per haps you would kindly take charge of the property of my children in Texas, aud see that it is not sold for taxes. It would help me a good deal if I could sell any portion of it ad vantageously; but Mr. Green tells me he thinks no sale could now he made. You will De the treat judge of that. I have given Dr. Hitch oock a power of attorney to sell for me, he has the power to appoint you, If you will ac cept. I send you a list of the lands: Bwen son, at Austin, was the general agent, and Starr & Armory, in Nacogdoches; you can get alt necessary information from them. I would be glad to hear irom you soou; address Mrs. E G. Johnson, under cover to R. W. Heath, San Francisco. Will you give my kindest love to Mrs. McKinney, and accept lor yonrselt the friendly regards of your old friend, E. G. Johnson. Awaiting an opportunity Mark Mo care lessly approached his brother, aud askod him how long he had been in the mining regions, and if he had seen much of them. He was, in reply, informed that he hud boon in the land of gld a number of years, aud that he had “ pros pected ” wherever the glittering gold was sup posed to abound in the greatest quantity. He then asked him where he was from, and upon being informed that ho was a Pittsburger, in terrogated him as to whether he had known a family by the name of Me . He replied that was his name; that he had left home fifteen years before ; that for a long time be had coiresponded with his friends; but for the past five years he had not wiitten to nor board from them. He then informed him that he, too, was a uative of Pittsburg, and that he had been intrusted with a message for a man named Huge Me , should he meet him, and if he would give him a private audience, he would deliver it. Os course the interview was granted, but ot what passed be yond the fact that the two brothers, so long separated, came to know oaoh other, we are nol at liberty to speak, We may state, however, that Hugh Me , after many ups and downs, among them L a .long captivity among the Indians, is now ‘•well-to-do” iu the world, and that his brother remains with him. The joy of his family, on hearing a few days since, that he, whom they had mourned as dead, was still in the land of the living, may be imag ined, but not expressed in words. A Modern Tantalus.— A writer In Frazer’s Magazine says : A useful if hackneyed moral may be enforced by a story told of M. de Beaujon, the financier, who built the Elyseo Boqjbon and fitted it up in a style of luxury that made it one of the wonders of Paris. An Englishman obtained leave to visit it, and, on entering the dining room, found a table magnificently laid out. — “Your master,” he observed to the rnaitre d’hote), “makes wonderfully good cheer.” “Helas, sir, my master never sits down to a regular dinner; a siDgle plate of vegetables is prepared for him.” “Here* at least, is food for the eye,” said the visitor, pointing to the pictures. “Holas, sir, mv master is nearly blind.” “Well,” resumed the Englishman, on entering these'ond Buite, “he compensates himself by listening to good music,” “Helas, sir, my master has never heard the music which is played here, he goes to bed early in the hope of snatching a few minutes’ sleep.” “But at all events lie enjoys the pleasure of walking iu that maguificeot garden ” “Helas, sir. he cannot walk.” In a word, the supposed liiicullus was leading the life of Tantalus; for all purposes of enjoyment, millionaire was the poorest of the poor. A Determined Assassin. The man, Blind, who attempted the assassi nation of Count Bismarck, seems to hare been a man of uncommon determination of pur. pose. The Burlin correspondent of the Lou don Times says that he not only made the attempt in one of the most frequented thoroughfares of the capital, but fired the last four shots while struggling with several per il n « "k° w . ere endeavoring to check him. He fi r ed the first ball when the Count was directly iu front of him. Before he could discharge his revolver a second time, a trades man of the name of Elia had caught hold of him. Wntle trying to shake him off he fired the second and third balls then Count Bis marA threw himself upon him, holding down his right arm Blind took h s pistol in his left hand, pressed it against the cheek of his in tended victim and fired the fourth and fifth time. It seems, however, that in the scuffla tbe pistol was turned a-ide, so that the balls only grazed the skin. One of the last two balls wounded a journeyman book-binder who happened to be passing. Ha had not been many hours in prison when, eluding the vigilance of tbe constable sitting by hi« side, it is said he feigned to wipe the perspiration from his face, aud holding a knife concealed in his pocket handkerebiet, with one swe.picg cut drew it from ear to ear. Changed his Sind. Proffessor Duncan, of Aberdeen, asked a lady to marry him; the answer was “No.”— The subject was dropped, but they soon met again. “Do you remember,” said the lady, “a question put to me when last we met 1” The professor said that he remembered, “And do you remember my answer 1” “Oh yes,” said the professor. “Well, Mr. Duncan,” proceeded the lady. “I have been led to change my mind.” “And so have I,” dryly responded tbe profess or. He retained his bachlorship to the last. A Hight: cent. Tis a sweet scene. Mid shadows dim The mighty river wanders by, And, on its calm, unruffled brim. So soft the bright star-shadows lie, ’Twould seem as it" the night-wind's plume Had swept through woods ot tropic bloom And shaken down their blossoms white To float upon the waves to-night. And see ! as soars the moon aloft, Her yellow beams come through the air So mild, so beautifully soft, That wave and wood seemed stirred with prayer; And the pure spirit, as it kneels At Nature’s holy altar, feels Religion’s self come stealing by Iu every beam that cleaves the sky. The living soul of beauty fills The air with glorious visions—bright; They wander o’er the forest hills And linger in the palid light; Oft* to the breathing heavens they go, Along the earth they live and glow, Shed on the stream their holy smiles, And beckon to its purple isles. Prentice. The racing season has opened spiritedly at the Mound City club track, St. Louis. A cricket match between the “married and single elevens, transpired at New Orleans on the 30th uit. The “bachelors” were victuous. There was a trotting match on Fashion Course, L. 1., recently for .SSOO. The best time was 2. 35. In a recent pigeon shooting match at Indian apolis, Tom. Warner in 12 shots made the ex traordinary score of 0. It is said that the average money which has changed hands in “play” every month this year since January, at one Paris club bouse alone, is SBOO,OOO, which gives a return of $9,600,000,- per annum. The Macon Telegraph says the match game for the Billiard Cue, at the New Idea Billiard Saloon, on Tuesday evening, was won by Cap tain Richard Lambert—he beating his opponent 82 points in 500 played. The “Crescent City Cricket Club” played a public match at New Orleans on the 24th ult. The Spring meeting of the Trotting k Club at the Magnolia course, Mobile, took place on the Bth ins* A trot for a purse of SIOO for horses that had never beaten 2:40, mile heats, 3 in 5 to harness, took place yesterday afternoon at the Riverside Park. The purse was won by Jeff. Davis in three straight heats. Time— -2:42, 2:4l. —Boston Transcript, sth. One of those abominable exhibitions.of mod ern barbarism, a prize fight, occurred at New Orleans on the 30th ult. “The combatants were Dick Johnson, the “Manchester Boy,” and John McGlade, of Philadelphia. At the 31st round, which occurred within 38 minutes from the commencement of the “mill,” John son, who had been pounded and gashed in a sickening manner, received a blow which knocked him senseless. The sponge was thrown up, and McGlade was declared the win ner. A New York correspondent writes: “You have heard of John Morrissey’s gambling house. It is palatial in its apartments, and, with splen did suppers, wines and liquors, and the conflict with the ‘tiger,’ there is alt that may be desired by any one inclined to sport. Millions of dollais have been lost and won in that house, but al ways on the square—at least, such is the repu tation of Morrissey that none question the fair ness of his game. And there have been big games played there. I know of a New Yorker, who, in what is technically termed a ‘snap’ game, lost $66,000 in a single night, and, with in a month, turned the tablek and won $72,000 from the winner. This individual is the bigg-est better in the world, and has often won and lost SIO,OOO to $30,000 in a night. There are many large betters here, but none with his nerve, and I may add, few with half the fortune, since his income is $200,000 per year. He plays for excitement rather than gain.” Prai-e lour Wife. Praise your wife, man, for pity sake give her a little encouragement; it wont’t hurt her.— She has made your home comfortable, your hearth bright and shining, your food agreeable; for pity sake tell her you thank her, if nothing more. She don’t expect it; it will make her eyes open wider than they have these ten years, but it will do he’d gofid for all that, and you too. There are many women to-day thirsting for the words of praise, the language of encourage ment. Through summer’s heat, through win ter’s toil, they have drudged uncomplainingly, and so accustomed have their fathers, brothers and husbands become to their monotonous las bors that they look for and on them as they do on the daily rising of the sun and its daily go ing down. Home evoryday may be made beau tiful by an appreciation of its very holiness.— You know that, if the floor is clean, manual la bor has been performed to make it so. You know, if you can take from your drawer a clean shirt whenever you want it, that somebody’s fingers have acimd in the toil of making it so fresh and agreetrole, so smooth and lustrous.— Everything that pleases the eye and the sense, has been produced by constant work, much thought, great care and untiring efforts, bodily and mentally. It is not that many men do not appreciate 1 these things, and feel a glow of gratitude for the numberless attentions bestowed upon them in sickness and health; but they don’t come out with a hearty “Why, how pleasant you make things look, wife !” or, “I am much obliged to you for taking so much pains!” They thaiik tho tailor for giving them “fits;” they thank the man in a full omnibus who gives them a seat; they thank the young lady who moves along in the concert room; in short, they thank every thing out of doors because it is the custom, and come home, tip their chair back, and their heels up, pull out the newspapers, grumble if wife asks them to take the baby, scold if the fire is gone down, or, if everything is just right, shut their mouths with a smack of satisfaction, but never say “I thank you.” A hint or Tvo. The advice given by a certain mister, relative to the use of woman’s name is so apropos to these times, that we reprint it : Never make use of an honest woman’s name in an improper place, at an improper time, or in a mixed company. Never make assertions about her that you think she herself would blush to hear. When you meet with men who do not scruple to make use of a woman’s name in a reckless and unprincipled manner, shun them, for they are the very worst members of the community—men lost to every sense of honor, and every feeling of humanity. Many a good ana worthy woman’s character has been forever ruined, and her heart broken, by a lie manufactured by some villian, and reported where it should not have been, and in the pres ence of those whose little judgdment could not deter them from circulating the foul and brag ging report. A slander is soon propagated, and the smallest thing derogatory to a woman’s character, will fly on the wings of the wind, and magnify as it circulates, until its monstrous weight crushes the poor unconscious victim.— Respect the name ot woman; for your mother and your sister are women; and as you would have their talr name untarnished, and their lives unembittered by the slanderer’s biting tongue, heed the ill your own words may bring upon the mother, the sister, or wife of some fellow creas ture.” Negroes in the South. The War Department lately appointed a com mission of inquiry in relation to the working of the “Freedmen’s Bureau” in the South. It has already been carried into execution in Virginia, where Generals Steed man and Fullerton have pursued their investigations with much satisfac tion. A gentleman who accompanied them thus writes from Charlottesville as to the good feel ing between the negrees and their former mas ters : Every where I have yet been I have found the most kindly and freindly relations existing be tween blacks and whites. I have seen former slaves working cheerfully for their old masters, still calling them “massa,” as of old; former masters supporting the aged and infirm of their tormer slaves; perfect confidence on the one side, perfect reliance on the other. Outrages, such as have been described in the Northern pa pers, committed by white men upon the ne groes, have undoubtedly occurred; but they have been exceptional casses. and are no more indica tive ot the general sentiments of the population than are stray porleiapousc shooting affrays in dicative ot the moralstate of society in New York. Cotton Fields o» the World.— Few Os cur readers, we imagine, are aware that the annual cotton crop cf the world is estimated at the enormous sum of three hundred millions of bales. 1 it e’er Forget Ihee, fluffier, BY MISS C. W. BABBER. While humming birds seek trumpet flowers, And blue-eyed grasses blow, I sit and think how over a grave, The soft lights come and go ; Each silvery cloud that sails along Like angel-barque thro’ air, Doth pause upon its shining way, To drop a shadow there. Dear mother’s grave ! bright May will weave, Her tracery over the sod They plac’d above the cold pale breast, When she went home to God; The golden river, too, will flash, Upon its winding way, As through the willow’ light green fringe, The sunbeams force their way. Sometimes I fancy in these hours, So quiet, still, and bland, I feel upon my weary brow. The pressure of her hand, And start to clasp the phantom. But oh ! it will not stay, And I rember she is sleeping Thro’ nights that ne’er meet day. I know not where the spot call’d “Heaven,” May be within the sky, But towards its saphire walls, I lift A tear-bespangled eye, Because she dwells within its bowers, Ot “everlasting green,” And wears upon her radiant brow, The crown of glittering sheen. Dear mother! thro’ those pearly gates, Keep watch above your child ; See that she walks the paths of earth, With “garments undefil’d,” Until to her, the snowy robe, And golden harp are given, And her poor faltering tongue, is taught State item;.

Hon John M. Giles, of Houston county, died recently , from wounds received from the horns of a cow, which gangrened and proved incurable. John H. Powers, Esq., of tho same county, brother of the late Hon. A. C. Powers, is dead. The Americus Republican of the 26th gives an account of the conduct and killing of a negro man named Joe, on the day previous, by a Mr, Grisham, of Sumter county. The negro had committed a gross outrage on Mis. Grisham, in July last—violating her iu a manner too revolting and brutal for particular mention. He made his escape immediately afterwards, and was not arrested until the 17th inst. Mrs. G. had no difficulty iu recognizing him, and he was ordered to jail to await his trial. While proceeding from the jail to the court-house for trial, he was killed by Mr. Grisham. Mr. G., after killi.ug tho n«;ro, gave himself up to the Judge of the Couulylltotrre, and was bound over in three thousand dollars for his appearance at the next S e Coer, of the county. Ad Appeal to the Pe 1 he National Intelligencer, spe o ; the approaching elections'says : The effort of Congress to utterly resist An drew Johnson and Lis Cabinet in their policy has no precedent in its wanton, reckless, and profligate hostility to constitutional and legal fqrmß, in the history of deliberative bodies in governments of the fixed powers the world over, at any period. ' The issue is now directly joined between tbe President and Congress The tribunal of appeal ! a 'the people. Under these circumstances it cannot, of course, b3 expected by the people of the country that the enemies of the people in Congress are to con trol his appointments or dispense his patron age . The control of such matters has now re verted to the the people. As of old, the lead ing men in the States, such as Governors who are friendly to the President, distingnished members of State Legislatures, eminent mem bers of the Bar and Bench, and prominent citizons in other callings, not in public life, will be able to exert that influence in respect to national appointments, which cannot be healthful aud puriiying in politics. At any rate, the control of Congress will, of course, be for the most part suspended, except as it regards those members who seek to restore union, peace, and general prosperity. Col. J. C. Her. We are pleased to see that this gallant sol dier and distinguished officer has opened a commission business in the city of Memphis, and hope that his success in business may be commensurate with his merit and capacity. Our people will ever hold in grateful recol lection the important services rendered by Col. Fiser to this city in May last, in raeetiog and checking the infuriated mob which threatened to sack the town and destroy our property. We bel.eve that we owe tbe preservation of our beautiful city, in a great measure, to the ex. ertions and examples of Col. Fiser and a few officers of oar army then temporarily sojourn ing with us. It has been a matter of surpri an ’ •ort: ftcation to most of our citizens >u.r <. > n falhers have not long before tfc ? g sion in some appropriate and t . » way to the obligations we are under ■ :- . for his conduct on that memoraa.o occasion. Col. F. commanded a regiment in Barksdale’s Mississippi brigade, and served in the aimy of Northern Virginia up to the battle of G«ttys burg, when ho was severely wounded. Was with Longstreet in his East Tencessue cam paign ; subsequently commanded a brigade at Savannah, and was with Haraeo in bifTSSTch through the Carolines in the spring of 1865. The Age of Slang. This is evidently tbe age of slang. The fast young man, when he would drink, (and that’s always,) asks for a ‘wash.’ When he would smoke, demands a ‘torch.’ When he eats he ‘wrestles his hash.’ When he is drunk, he is‘swipsey. W hen he gambles, he ‘slings the pasteboards.’ When he sleeps he is ‘under the blinks,’and wh,en he steals, he ‘goes through somebody.’ His friends are ‘gay ducks,’ ‘no slouches,’ ‘bully boy*;’ and ‘bricks.’ His ene mies are ‘hits,’ ‘dead beats, ’ a anu ‘suckers.’ A good writer ‘slings a nasty quill.’ A dancer ‘throws him-elf into a dangling attitude.’ A man is a ‘nibs,’ a woman a ‘hen.’ Would it not be a paying thing for an enterprising man to get up a slang dictionary 7 If we were to propound this last interrogatory to a fast young man, he would immediately respound ‘you bet.’ The Georgia Cotton Cases. —A case in ref erence to the seizure of a large quantiiy of cotton in Georgia by Treasury agents came up foi hearing in the United States Circuit Court, in New York, on Wednesday last. The plain tiffs, Mr. Deanistoun and others, who have brought actions jn the Supreme Court of that city, against Draper, cotton agent, for the recovery of the property, appeared, by their counsel, to quash a suit of certiorari', by which the government seeks to remove’ the proceedings from the Supreme Court to the United States Court. The case is stiff od. Ex-Senator Cameron is in Washington at the Dead of a powerful lobby delegation from Pennsylvania, with the object of influencing legislation in favor of protection. State vs. Alexander Harris, colore i, horse stealing. Peabody for State; Abercn ,mbie and Wynne for defence. Accused plead frailty and ihiew himselt upon the mercy of th e Court. Sentenced to three years in penitent iary, as we learn from the Sun and Times. HAIL ROUTES IK GEORGIA.
