In addition j to printing enough copies for our subscri bers, we had the pleasure of printing a suf- . licient number of copies to supply the entire j circulati >n of our friends of the Standard. ‘ also, on the evening of (lie 6th, which were i dispatched up tho Hoad before daylight on • the morning of the 7th. Our neighbors of . the Examiner, bv the way, hud the Message ; out promptly on the next Saturday, thereaf- j tor. the 9tli inst. Tub Artesian- Weu.—Tlie Charleston Mercury of the 19th inst, says:—The water still continues to flow from the Artesian, Well, at the rate uf from 20 to 25 gallons per minute, the variations being occasioned hv the greater or less obstruction of the sand in the tube. It is the intention of Mr. Wolton to coutinue his perforation, in perfect confidence that as he gets deeper i the flow of water will increase. Fno rida Senator.—The General Assem- i hlv of Florida, now in session, has just con- | eluded (he elec,lion ofl’iiitcd Suites Senator. , lion. D. L. A nice was chosen on the first j ballot.

Another Expedition for Liberia.—Ac cording to a vecent number o tho Coloniza. tion ll rahl, arrangements have been per fected to dispatch the Brig General Pierce | to Liberia, this month, with colored emi grants to that colony. The General Pierce will probably take out about one hundred persons, mostly from this State and Ten nessee. She will sail from Savannah on tlie 30lh instant. A Trunk Fi u.oe Secrets Stolen.—Mr. 11. J. Coleman, deputed as an agent of the Free Masons. Odd Fellows, and Know Noth ings, who was ou his way to Nebraska and Kansas to establish lodges of these orders in those Territories had a russet trunk stolen from the railroad depot at Jersey City on Thursday, winch contained tho rituals and other documents relative to those orders, and a quantity of valuable clothing and jewelry belonging to his wife, lie had left that trunk with others in the depot for a few moments, n> go to dinner, and when he returned they were gone.

Courier d- Enquirer learns that the 93d Highlanders, tlie regiment which received and repulsed the charge of Russian cavalry with such admirable cool ness on the 25tli of October, has volunteered to lead the storming party when the breach es are opened at Sebastopol. Probably not one of Die gallant fellows will live to know whether the attack is successful or not. ~7. Another Guano Island.—The New York Post announces tlie discovery of another guano island with at least a million of tons on it, the locality of which is yet a secret. Measures are now taking for the organization of a company to bring the guano to market. AVc hope it will make the article a little cheaper and more accessible to the Ameri can farmer.

I never in my life experienced such a sublime sensation as in the moment of the charge.. Some fellows talk of its being ‘demoniac.’- 1 know this, that it was such as made me a match for any two ordinary men. and gave me such an amount of glorious indifference as to life; its • thought it impossible to be ma ter of.

All my uniform, my hands, my very face, were bespattered with blood, it was that ot the enemy! Grand idea ! Bui my feelings, they were full of that exultation which it is impossible to describe. At least, twelve Rus sians were oew wholly out of the way of the war, by my good steal alone, and at least as many move put on the passage to that peace ful exit by tfe same excellent weapon.

Narrow Escape of the Stt-aitisiilp Wivsii- lagton. On the night of the 19th ulc., us the. U. 8. steamer Washington was ..proceeding along the British channel, --lie was run into by a brig "under full sail, boring with its bowsprit a hole as large as a man iu her left side, leaving therein the broken spliu- lers of lior bow. Striking again, Iter brok en timber bored, in another part of the steamer, a second hole with such a force that the whole bowsprit of the brig remain ed in the steamer. Happily, this damage in the steamer was six feet, above the water. A letter in the N. Y. Tribune, says: > “ You can easily imagine what an excite ment soi led upon everybody. But the offi cers did not lose their presence of mind ; and thefirst tiling ordered was to post a watch near the boats, armed with, loaded pistols, to siio.it any one who :h ..ui i try to seize upon them without an "order from riio captain.— Tn the interior of the vessel tho chief engi neer directed the necessary repairs, and by his orders the holes were stopped with mat tresses outside. The captain himself,, sus pended on ropes above the water, worked for hours, until the work was done. The brig was lost sight of in the darkness of the night,” Louisville.

It was said by those on the road to have been the heaviest train which ever passed' over it. It was drawn by two of the most powerful engines employed mi the road.— Rochester -Y. I’’., paper 15. The High Price of Paver,—The great advance in the price of paper within tho last six months has put the publishers, of news papers to serious reflection how to counter act the evil. It is'suggested in the West, among other things, that publishers reduce the size of their papers ; demand advance payment in all cases : out off “dead-heads,” anil prune exchange lists. The effect of this would be to reduce the consumption of white paper and enable the printer to live. It is now stated that rags cannot be had in sufficient quantity, aud the reply to this is that an increase in the price of paper will not supply the deficit. Advance payments would remedy a host of evils attendant on publishers. Here is a beautiful thought of that strange compound of Scotch shrewdness, strong common sense, and German mysti- c-ism, or uncommon sense—Thomas Carlyle: “ When 1 gaze into the -tars, they look down on me with pi r \ front their serene and silent spaces, like eyes glistening with tears, over the little lot of tuan.

A Remedy for Abolition.—The St .

The editor concludes his article thus: “ There is one mode only of meeting this difficulty. Abolish the existing laws against the slave trade, and vegulato it henceforth and license it. The poor barbarians of Af rica will be vastly benefitted and thorough ly Christianised by the operation. In fact it is only through slavery that the African has ever had a ray of light, of reason, or of religion poured into his darkened mind. It was the penalties against the slave trade that made it horrible. Make it legal and respectable, and then we can have plenty of niggers for our own use, aud can spare to Chicago as many as her citizens wish to steal. We are in earnest about this matter, and wait with impatience to hoar what bur Doug las and Atchison Nebraska bill friends wnl have to say about it.
