R. Gazette. Shocking Tragedy. [From tho Shakopeo (Minn.) Argus, 11th. One of the mcBt heart-rending accidents I by fire, that hnB ever come to our notice, took i place en the opposite side of the river, and about two miles from Belle Plaine, on the night of Thursday last The name of the unfortunate family waa Shilock, composed of Mr. and Mrs. Shilock and five children, the oldest some eight or ten years of age. Dur ing the night Mrs. Shilock awoke and found the house in flames, when she immediately sprang from the bed, and remembering the four.children in the other room that was reached by a passage, she rushed to their rescde. * m Mr. 8. followed in an instant later, but in his passage broke through the barning floor, and fell into the cellar. By a desperate ef fort, almost suffocated .bj heat and smoke, he.again reached thc bed which he had left, and grasping the sleeping babe, threw it through a window be broke out; but on turn ing to s-.c what bad become of his wife, he was met by the (lames, and but barely escap ed by tho window through which he had thrown his child. Upon reaching the out side, he heard the cries of bis wife from the cn! ry nay or narrow hall, who bad been fran tically endeavoring to gain, tho room occupi sd by tbe children, until she herself had be come surrounded by fire. Through almost superhuman exertion Lo succeeded in bursliug in the door and rescu ,ng her, although both were terribly burned. They now used every exertion to save the ?bildren, but all to no purpose, and soon ;hey were enabled to see tho four standing ;ogethcr in the middle of the room, clinging tgonized parents, who could lend them no lid.*_ ._ A Honey-Moon Scene. A correspondent thus describes a scene .hat tock place at Saratoga, a short time ?ince, between a newly married couple, who ?vere spending the honey moon : A bridal party came down a few days (ince ; I never saw a more honcy-moonish lookiug set in my life. Tbe bride and groom looked, walked and acted love to the life. A nacre devoted couple you never beheld. They (vere sitting in the parlor one morning when [ accidently heard tho husband say, with a melting tenderness of voice and manner: " Did you speak, dearest ?" " No, pet, I did not-I was thinking," re plied the bride, looking as angelic as possible. " Ol what were you thinking, my love V " I hardly dare tell'you my pet." u What, loveliest of your sex, distrust your adorer so soon ?" a Pardon-a thousand pardons, dear Edgar, if I have even seemed to wrong so noble a being." . vt v Spoken liko your own true self-liko a fond and dearly loved wife." '-O, Edgar I Edgar I you are a flatterer; I know yon are. 0, you naughty man I you know" how dear yon are to me." " You will tell nie then, good angel that you are-you will tell me?" ?i I will-but first give me assurance that you will not frown on your too fond Rebecca. A frown, Edgar-nay, even a reproving look from your own 6weet eyes would break my now too happy heart Say, then you will not frown." " Foolish child t Do the stars frown when the poet looks up to them for inspiration 7 Docs thc fond mother frown' when her first born looks up to her ces, as he nestles still closer to her bosom? Does love, fond, true love, ever frown 7" - M 0, say no more,dear, dear Edgar ; I feel, I know, yon are the best, tho kindest, the most devoted of men J"" u Tell me then, Jove, of what you were thinking." " Of v?u only you Edgar, on my troth." " And what of me.'my own Rebeoca?" " Alas I What shall I say? How shalt I extricate myself from this perilous dilemma ?" ""Sperk, loved one 1 I charge you E? w Dear Edgar, you know-" . "Yes, sweet Rebecca-" " That-0, how shall I say it ?" " Any how-go on-dear Rebec-" "That if you continue-" " Yes-continue-" "To cat-cabbage-" " Cabbage-what then ?" " You may catch the cholera, (sobbing) and (sob) and (sob) I may (sob) ba left (sob) a widow (sob) before (sob) the season (histori cal sob) is overi" I didn't, I'couldn't wait to hear any more of this conversation. I do wonder if all ?just married" folks go on after this fashion. . THE PaivaEOE or FREEDOM-.Three ne groes stole a hog from the plantation of Dr. M., about fifteen miles from Madison, Fhv They were apprehended, duly tried, convicted, and sentenced to six month's imprisonment. Oh hearingthe sentence they all looked some? what blank ; -but, after a short conference amongst themselves, one "of them, who acted as spokesman, said to. the officer, "Massa judge, spasen wa take de ole fdsh'n whippin and be let go. How dat do?" The good natured official, smiling, replied that fro had no authority to order a whipping, nor had be any one to lay it on if he did commute tho punishment. "But, massa judge," said the aspirant for stripes, " sposea w? g6** some body to do de whippen* how den ?" " Yery well," replied his honor, " If you prefer the whipping, abd'employ some ono to lay itotj weih I have no abjection, and willlet you o? from the punishment." A colored friend, a) their request, after some search, .-engaged ic neighboring overseer, to do the. whipping When the men were tied preparatory to then receiving thc preferred punishment fend tb? operator was about 'to begin, he said, "Lopl here, boys, I caa't waste my time and strengt! fur nothing{ I oint ago'm to whip you unies I'm paid for it."

The Anticipated Ile va ?sion in En - liam j> The tone of the English p;eac intim?t K considerable alarm on tho subjeet.of an a r ticipated financial revnlsion.in England, ar .? the Times and other leading joiirnaiaace, a ' suming that tho danger of a coljapso wi t come ?rom the large, credit exports to tl j United States, and the paucity of r(;tarns i ? specie and equivalent merchandise. But lhei i is a difference of op??W in .England upe IJ this point. Many commp.rciel men, in cou: i' munications addressed ti the newspaper; ' assert that the remittances from this conn tr j arb very prompt, and'that the heavy receipt J of cotton are a fair set off against the Britisi exports. There is a good deal more in the threaten tag aspect which financial- affairs in Euglanc have assumed than can be inferred from th< large exports to America. Tho wealth o England has its mainstay in the coal ant iron.deposita of that country, and the opinioi has gained ground there for some time that the supply ia. these minerals was getting rapidly exhausted. Investigations have been made hy the geologists';and the reso.lt is the conviction on the part of a good many' that the coal and iron cann?t Jast more than fifty or sixty years longer'j' some give their pro dnctive capacity a limit of a hundred years. When the cos! and iron give out it is pretty evident that the British empire will give om too, and probably the long-headed portion ot tho commercial people of England foresee i tho short lease of its existence, aud hencp we I may account for the 07ident disposition to in vest English capital in this'country. 'Tbev' know that while tho mineral products o'f Great Britain will only last for a hundred years at most,' tho mineral wealth-of this country william far fifty thousand years; and they aro in fact preparing for a con:in gency which, according to geological surveys must occur within a century, and capitalists are, thernfore, looking that distance of timi ahead. The labor, capital and manufacture* of England will be transferred to tbe United States before many years. Already, indeed, the initiative steps have been taken in this direction. We axe gradually drawing ofl skilled labor from tba manufacturing towns of England, and English capital is finding investment in oar railroads and mmes, be cause capitalists have discovered that this ia tho most stable government in the world, and the safest place in .which to invest their means. The arguments of the London Times ?tad other journals, while they are probably intended to weaken confidence in American securities and depreciate' the credit .of our merchants, logically sustain this view of the abject and admit the stem facts upon wbicb lt is based. We may assume that the time is coming when the British empiro-as rep resented by its capital, labor and manufao ares-will be found to exist here, and noi 3n the other side of. the Atlantic. Hero ii ?ill not be scattered over many colonies in ill parts of the globe, but will bo concontra :ed in one territory, embracing within iii limits all climates from the tropics to the ?emperate and.frigid zones, and command ng resources without limit.'

We do not fully recognize such on object in its presenl tone ; however, the narrowness of such a pol icy is very clear in view of thc fact, which is idmitted, that there are uo safer investments Df capital to be found than exist at presen' in this country, and that such investments are being made very extensively. If a finan :ial disaster is about to fall upon Great Bri tain, which appears inevitable, we,'therefore, do not anticipate that any serious damage to thc United States will arise from it.-New York Herald. From the Darlington Now Era Immigration. From the time of the surrender of the wasted aud shattered legions of Lee at Appa mattox Court House, and those of -Johnston near the old battle-ground of Guilford, it has been apparent to every unprejudiced observer and correct thinker, and that all those old notions, which were the offshoot of slavery, were doomed like the institution itself, to a grave from which there would be no resur rection. Among the "things that were'' which have been consigned to the tomb o? the Capulets, is that old jealousy of foreigners, which was fostered and grow and flourished in the time? of the ancients in Southern his tory. The policy of the country inusi be en tirely-reversed. If we would hereafter pros per and flourish, if- we would save ourselves from utter and hopeless ruin, our country from becoming a waste howling wilderness, and our habitations tba- dwelling places ol bats and owls, we must yield eur old preja dices to the new ideas which the logic ol events has forced upon us. We must ' offer inducements to the immigrant to settle with in our bordors and help us to build up our oxhausted and desolated country. We must not step to inquire whether he hails from Germany or New "England, or any other part of the world. Our inquiry should rather bc. is he intelligent, industrious, enterprising 1 The opinions bfthe editor of ibis .paper" are well known. In an address issued to th? vo ters of Darlington pending the .election .. ipr the recent Convention, he took strong ground ia favor of immigration. In the Convention he had tho honor of introducing resolutions encouraging immigration from the North and-'from Europe, which but for want of time he believes would have met the approbation, of that body, and been endorsed, by its vote. Since his connexion with the " New Er*" he has persistently advocated tho same policy, and is happy to find that bis views are sup , ported by tho,leading journab of this and the neigbbering States. Th?ro ar? some among us however, we regret to say, who are so blinded by prejudice we fear, as to be un able to take a proper and statesmanlike view of the subject. We regret to find that oven our friend General Easley, a gentleman and ?1 lawyer of eminent tahMts and respectabili ty, has made remarks in the" Legisla lure dis cociraging the immigration -of ?
