The human mind has bat a faint idea
of the magnitude Qf the sum total included
in the term million. As and illustration it
may be stated that if a man should reach
the extreme age of 100 years, he would not
have lived for a million hours, the number
falling short one hundred and twenty-five
thousand of that amount.
At the Hopkinsville (Tenn.) Fair ten
brothers, named Brown, all mounted on fine
gray horses, rode into the amphitheatre and
displayed their horsemanship?all being
good riders. The eldest was aged forty, the '
youngest twenty. They had not been tofiffoon
mnrc Their mother was

present, and they reined up in front of the
glorious matron, and saluted her, while she
shed tears of joy and pride.
The New York police are engaged
in registering the names of all the voters in
that city. Among other difficulties which
tuey encountered, says the Journal of Commcoe,
was that of determining what were
tenant-houses an what were not. It was
finally decided that those should be so considered
which were oocupied by several families
at the same time In one tenant-house
in the Seventeenth Ward, says the same
.paper, the officers found fifty-one families,
composing one hundred and sixty-seven
persons, a*d in other house forty families,
comprising one hundred'and eighteen persons!
The Detriot Advertiser gives a new
method of computing intetest on any number
of dollars at 6 per cent., which appears
simple. Separate the right hand figure by
a point, and the figures on the left hand of
this separating point will be the interest in
cents for six days?the figure on the right
of the point, decimals of a cent. Multiply
the whole amount by five to find the interest
for thirty days, and this sura by two for
sixty days, three for ninety days, &c. For
any number of days less than six, take the
fractional part of the interest for six. Care
must be taken to seperate the right hand
figures of the dollars, whether there be cents
and mills in the given sum or not.
' In the recent address of Hon. T. L.
Clingman, before the North Caroliua State
Fair, he mentions, in connection with the
manufacture of wine, and the difficulty on
the Atlantic slope of the United States of
preventing its acteous fermentation, a remarkable
faot concerning a locality of the
western part of that State. In a district of
a few miles in extent on the Tryon mountain,
neither dew nor frost is over known.?
The same district is remarkable for the variety
and excellence of its native grapes, and
they are often found in fine condition in the
open air as late as December. The oryness
of the atmosphere in the locality mentioned,
and equality of temperature, are most remarkable,
and wc should like to know more concerning
it.
?? An Englishman, boasting of the superiority
of the horses of his country, mentioned
that the celebrated Eclipse had run a
mile in a minute. "My good fellow," exclaimed
an American present, "That is rather less
than the average rate of our common roadetera.

up with me, but generally comes into the
store to find me a minute to a minute and a
half after my arrival. One morning the
beast was restless, and I rode him as hard as
I possibly could several times around a
large factory, just to take the old Harry out
of him. Well, sir, he went so fast, that the
whole time I saw my own back directly afore
me, and was twice in danger of riding over
myself.
It happened once that Gov. Foote,
when a United State Senator, fell asleep during
the delivery of one of the soporific discourses
of Mr. Baldwiu, of Connecticut.?
While in this state, a humorous Senator suddenly
awoke him and asked how it came
that he was sleeping at his post, when Baldwin
was denouncing him and his State in
such insulting terms. Foote forthwith sprang
to the floor, and in his fiery, impetuous manner
poured forth a torrent of defensive invective
against the astounded Connecticut
Senator, who vainly protested his entire iunocenoe
of any offensive expressions. ? I
will show the Senator," said Foote, "that
he shall not insult me or my State with impunity.
I will teach bitn that he shall not
use such language and then have the effrontery
to deny it. Why, sir evvery Senator
on this floor heard it just as well as I did I"
Swarms of locusts have appeared in
several of the Philippine Islands, and have
caused immense damage in the plantations.
Public prayers are being onerea up, ana me
common people are employed in the fields
in collecting and destroying them, the authorities
paying so much for every basketful
presented to the alcaldes. It does not
appear that the natives of the Philippine
Islands eat the locusts, as the Riff Arabs
do. The latter, when they see a cloud of
locusts hovering in the air and clouding the
sky, watch them anxiously, and if they descend
near their adwars, receive them with
shouts of gratitude to God aud Mahomet,
throw themselves on the grouud, and collect
them as fast as possible. Previously deprived
of their heads, logs and wings the locusts,
well boiled in butter, and served up with alcuzcuz,
are considered by the Riff Arabs
as delicious food. Their camels are evidently
of the same opinion, and eat them
greedily.
In Australia, the North is the hot
wind, and the South the cool; the Westerly
the most unhealthy, and the East the most
ealubrious; it is summer with the colonists
when it is winter at home, and the barometer
is considered to rise before bad weather,
and to fall before good; the swans arc black,
and the eagles are white; the mole lays eggs,
and has a duck's bill; the kangaroo (an animal
between the deer and the squirrel) has
five claws on his fore paws, three talons on
his hind legs, like a bird, and yet hops on
his tail. There is a bird (Melliphaga) which
has a broom in its mouth instead of a tongue
; a fish, one-half belonging to the genus
rara, and the other that of squalus. The ood
is found in the rivers, and the perch in the
sea; the valleys arc cold and the mountaintops
warm; the nettles is a lofty tree, and
the poplar a dwarfish shurb; the pears are
of wood, with the stalks at the broad end;
the cherry grows with the stone outside;
the fields are fenced with mahogany; the
humbest house is fitted with cedar, and the
myrtle plants are burnt for fuel; the trees
are without fruit, the flowers without scent,
and birds without song.

the propriety of our people closing their re
spective places of business on the occasion.
EUROPEAN COTTON MARKET.
Every arrival from Liverpool for tho last fortnight,
brings news of the continued decline in the
price of cotton. The Steamer Vanderbilt arrived
at New York on Monday last, with advices to tho
Sd instant. The sales of cotton for three days
previous to the sailing of the Vanderbilt, amount
ed to 18,000 bales at a decline of Jd. with the
low^r qualities of cotton almost unsaleable. The
following aro the quotations : Middling Orlenn*

YELLOW FEVER.
Our Charleston exchanges report eight deaths
in that city from Yellow Fever, for the week, end
ing on Saturday. We find the following paragraph
in the Mercury of Monday morning:
"Those of our more timorous friends and absentees,
who have been shut out from us during the
dreadful time of the epidemic, nnd who have been
waiting for "proof as strong as Hnl v Writ" of the
health of our city, before venturing home, are now
pouring in upon us by hundreds, and new fac-s.
with happy smiles, greet us at every step. The
clouds which so long hung like a pall over our city
has blown away; the prospect brightens; our hotels
arc already crowded ; houses, that for months
have been tenantless. arc again occupied; and
business in all its departments has revived to
more than its usual activity at this season."
GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK.
This splendid monthly for December is already
on our table, and is, as usual, filled to overflowing
with nice things for the ladies. On the first leaf,
in the way of illustrations, we find a steel engra
ving entitled "Christmas for the Rich," and on
the next page?"Christmas for the Poor," the two
suggesting riches and poverty? happiness and
misery. Thou we have "Brides and Bridesmnids"
?six figure colored engravings. Next comes the
"Editorial Slipper," on which is represented the
"Editorial Table," with ink-stand, paste pot, &c.,
surmounted by a sword and pen, with the aphorism?"the
pen is mightier than the sword,"?together
with the paraphernalia of the craft?the
steam-power printing press, aud the old fogy
I wooden hand-press?the "composing stick," and
last, though not the least useful, especially to tor,
the scissors! But we can't tell of nil the pretty
things in this number. Now is the time to subscribe
for the next year, as the January number
will be issued early in December. The price of
j the Book is S3, hut to be accommodating, we will
j furnish it and the Esquirer, one year, for ?1 in ;
| advance.
j In order that our readers may know how very
popular the "Book" is, we clip the following par I
ngraph from the November number, in reply to a
correspondent:?
"We keep six power-presses, and Adam's best
at that, eonstantl}* employed in bringing our edi
tion out. We have at least one hundred and fifty
women employed upon the Book. We give work
to some two hundred men. We pay one firm a
lone in this city over $50,000 a year for the white
paper alone, used on the Lady's Book, and thnt
only the printing paper. We pay over $8,000 a
year for printing plates, about $8,000 a year for
wood engraving, over $6,000 each year for coloring
fashion plates, $10,000 a year for printing,
over $5,000 a year for merely 6titching the Book
together. And we could go on for tens of thousands
more in other matters?such as editing, auI
thorship, paying for steel engravings, wrapping!
paper, twine (by the way, this last is a curious
j item, our twine bill alone is over $200 a year,)
} salaries, rent, nod a hundred other ct ceterai."
MERE-MENTION.
! Samuel Medaky, of Ohio, has been appointed
Governor of Kansas. A Pennsylvania ex|
change says : "A fish having feet was caught a
| few days ago, at Peacii Bottom, on the Lancuster
j side of the Susquehanna river." There were
? :_.i
I more wiuuws iiiurncu uuuuj: iuv io? u...ui..3
: iu Eugland and Ireland, than within the former
six years. Parsou Browxlow is mentioned
j as a candidate for G"vernor of Tennessee.
J The Montgomery Co7ifedera(ion says of Senator
, Hammond's speech : "It is sound in its positions,
; rights in its conclusions, forcible in its language,
' and logical in its argumentation. This speech is
among the very ablest that has fallen from the iips
of any public man in the last decade. Well may
S -uth Carolina feel a just pride in tbo truly grci>
mau, who, representing her in the Councils of tl e
nation, thus speaks the words of wisdom and of
truth to his countrymen." The Portland Advertiser
says: "That one man in every eight in
Massachusetts is a shoemaker, and the sales in
1837 amounted to SI.000,000. In B >stou, there
1 are 218 firms enguged in the trade, doing bu.-iness
j to the amount of $52,000,000. In New York there
i are only 55 houses. A movemeut is on foot
| in Mississippi in favor of erecting a monument to
I Gen. Quitman. The monumeut is to be placed on
the bluff at Natchez, and is to cost not less than
twenty-five nor more than fifty thousand dollars.
i A lady out West brags that none of her rej
latione were sent to the State prison or?Congress!
?"Powers Eternal! such names mingled!'
The Legislature of North Carolina met on Mou
day last. Two U. S. Senators, two Judges and
j State offioes have to be elected. The Legislature
of Florida, meets ou next Monday. Seventeen
States have appointed Thursday next, 2otb
instant, as a day of Thanksgiving. The Richmond
South, and the Washington Statu have been j
consolidated, and the South remo'.ed to Richmond.
The new paper is to be under the editorial control
of Mr. Roger A. Pryor; and "will be the organ
of no per.sou or clique, but devoted to the general
interest of the Democratic parry, in accordance
with the principles of States-right Democracy.
Mr. Pp.yor will undertake the editorial control of i
the paper between the 20th of this month and the j
1st of December." There is a town in Micbi- j
gan where the church bell is rung every day at j
twelve, for the people to tike their quinine, as '

A* th< Fair held last week at Atlanta. Georgia,
several watches, for ladies and gentlemen, of solely
Georgia manufacture, were exhibited. M.
Falconv, a French chemist, has just patented a
nroeass for nreservine and embalming dead bodies, j
r * I C He
uses a powder, composed chiefly of a neutral
salt, mixed with sawdust, which absorbs moisture, !
and so combines with the roost deadly exhalations j
that no injury can be sustained by persous beine t

An Indinngiant, seven feet high, and weigh- j

England, for mealing a coffin. The cof
fin was of copper, and worth S300. The thieves
t>ok out the body and left it in the tomb, atidsold
the coffin for old copper. The Columbus,
O do, Statesman says "the ceremony of marriage
will lose half its terrors if the number of divorces
continue to increase." The United States
Economist estimates the consumption of boots and
shoes in the United States at seventy-six million
pairs per year, valued c.t eight million dollars.?
About twelve millions pairs arc mode in Mass.a

day, the 11th ult., snow fell in several parts of j
Ashtabula Co., Ohio, to the depth of nine inches.
Snow fell in the vicinity of Laurens village,
followed by sleet, on Tuesday morning - of last

Governor Moore, of Alabama, suggests the propriety
of making the day one of prayer for the
preservation of the Union. A Yankee physician,
named Bates, from Ashfield, Massachusetts,

The trial of J. R. Graves, which has been
progressing for some time past in the First B?p
tist Church nt Nashville, Tetin., upon charges in
volving gross unchristian conduct, was brought to
a close on Wednesday evening last, by excluding
Mr. Graves from the Church. A correspondent
of the Charleston Mercury nominates Hon.
Wm. Greocj, of Grnnitcville, for Governor. The
editor of the Carolinian, in speaking of the nomination
snys, "Col. Gresg has been one of our most
useful citizens, having done as much as any other
citizen to develop the resources of the State."
Hartford, Conn., in describing a wound on the
head of one of the parties, said it was "about as
large as a three-cornered stone." At an election

The Maine Farmer states that a premium was
awarded at the State Fair at Augusta, for a calfskin
tanned bv the use of a sweet fern. The skin
was tanned in one week, and had the look of the

New York, November 5, 1858. i
I The fuss and fury of the Election for State and i
i County officers is over, resulting in the election
j of the Republican State Ticket by about eighteen
| thousand majority. Burrows, American, and
Gerrit Smith, Abolitionist and Temperance, ire ,
distanced and thrown completely in the shade.? j
j The city, as usual, cast a large Democratic vote, j
I electing four out of six members to Congress and !
| the entire County ticket. As far as the returns j
indicate, the Congressional representation stands : i
Republicans 27; Democrats C. There was very '
' little excitement, except in the District which
Sickles represents. In this District there were
three candidates, two Democratic and one fusion ;
and the race was so well contested that two claim
to have won the goal. A blanket would have
covered all three, so closely did they keep t< gether.
The election is contested, but Sickles has the best
chance. The most notable thing in the election
was the disintegration of all parties and the general
wan 0" faith in either. A complete reconstruction
of parties must ensue, either on the question
of slavery or on some great line of policy in
our relations w th other Governments. The tendency
is strongly set towards the former, wilh
Seward for its exponent iu the Presidential Compaigu
of I860.
The appearance in print of Hammond's great
conservative speecti at Barnwell, at tins conjuncture
will do an infinite deal of good, affording as
it does the strongest comparison between a conservative
Statesman and the demagogue and rabid
incendiary. More is the pity that it was not distributed
throughout the North, previous to the
election.
The Graud Jury of the city has fouud bills of
indictmeut agaiust sixty one city officials, for iaismanagmeut
and peculation in office. If u bombshell
bad fallen amongst these harpers ou the city
treasury, it could not have created more cunsternutiuu.
For years the public officers have gn wu
more and more dishonest, until an honest piau
, Vius ashamed to hold a public charge, ami the acts
of officials became so notorious that their doings ,
could not be endured longer. Heuce they are in- j
dieted; but political influences are strong enough
to shield them from a righteous judgment. A
conviction can scarcely be had ou charges proven
into facts.
The Piccolumini operatic season is drawing to
a close Iu spite of newspaper puffs and other
outside efforts to create a furore in favor of the
or/fete, the "Casta Diva of our young men," she
takes a place more or less distant from the first
rank in her profession. She has net come up to
the expectation which her name f.nd former soc?

So fur, no more victim? have hren added to the

The crew of a British Brig wrecked at sen a

circumstances. The citizens with their usual
humanity are providing for them and rendering
th ir misfortunes as light possible.
Amor J. Williamson, Editor of the Sunday
Dispatch Newspaper, and contestant of Sickles'
election to Congress, lias been indicted for publishing
in his paper Georgia Lottery Schemes. He
gave hail for five-hundred dollars, preliminary to
going to triol. It may bo a dodge in favor of a
rival claimant for public honors.
The new line of Ocean Steamers between New
York and Galway, Ireland, is meeting with a Inrge
share of success. The last vessel that came across
had more freight and passengers engaged than
?he could carry. The trip across by this line will
be made in seven days! Just think how near we
nro to "Old Erin!" almost in a stone's throw.
SETII.
New Your, Nov. 12. 185R.
The official returns of the vote given in the late
elections have not been made public as yet. The
canvassing of the returns in the city goes on
slowly. Irregularities in the district which Sickles
represented in the last Congress and which both
he and Williamson now claim to represent, will
afford the next Congress a contested election case.
Which ever is elected lias a plnrality'against bim
of almost as many votes as either claims.
The Charter election will be held in a few days
for choice of City-Treasurer, Governors of the
Almshouse. Councilmen, &c., about either of

usually attends an election of conutable in North

That great and patriotic orator. Hon. Edward
Everett, is here for the purpose of repenting his
celebrated oration on the character of Washing
ton. to raise funds for the purchase of Mount Vernon.
In addition to his already onerous sacrifices
in this noble cause, he has consen ted and ngreed
to furnish a weekly article for the "Ledger'' in
consideration of ten thousand dollars paid into the
Mount Vernon fund. The service is to begin this
month and extend for the space of one year. It
is scarcely necessary to mention that lionner of
the "Ledger" has a view to the "main chance" in
securing such a Contibutor. What is patriotism
in Everett, in this arrangement, is love of money
in Bonner.
The Irish orator, Thomas Francis Meagher is
lecturing to good houses on his travels in Central
America, in his usual happy style. He is one of
the very few lecturers who can diaw a house at
this season of the year, when there is so many
attractions elsewhere.
Bayard Taylor is also lecturing, on the subject
of Matrimony, with some success.
The decision in the Quarantine difficulty has
been rendered at last, resulting in the discl:?rgof
the accused and in finding the quarantine loca
tion a nuisance. In the meantime the military
hold the ground under martial rule, occasionally
asking where pay is to come from for services rendered
in this great strategetic foray into a peaceful
county. The army of occupation will cost
the State about a half million of dollars, if it is
ever paid, for services which a corporal's guard
could have discharged with all ease and with far
less irritation to the citizens of the disputed territory.
A new Governor may install a new regime.
A small steam-tug blew up at the foot of Jay
Street, killing three men outright and badly
wounding a fourth. The tug was carrying steam
twenty pounds above the register, and the boilers
being imperfect, collapsed, making the most com
plete wreck of the boat, and tearing the crew into
mincc-meat. There was scarcely a fragment large
enough to indicate the character of the vessel, or
of the crew.
A homicide committed on a sailor by a Policeman,
two davs ago, created no little excitement.
The officer had nrrested the sailor and was carrying
him to the Tombs. The sailor turned on the
officer, knocking him down and then faking to his
heels. The officer quickly recovered and gave
chase, exchanging shots with the sailor as he ran.
The third or fourth shot brought him down; he
died almost immediately. The witnesses to the
act arc many, it having occurred in Fulton Market,
and the evidence isvarioui; some testify that
the officer shot the sailor while running, others
that he shot him after he had been stopped by
another, and while the officer held him by the col
lar. Nothing can show more conclusively the
fallibility of human testimony in a matter occurring
at mid-day, in the sight of hundreds of men
competent to give a true statement of what they
thought they saw.
A den of counterfeiters have just been broKen
up in Brooklyn, and a large amount of bogus
coin and paper money recovered. Amongst the
latter denomination, were two hundred and seventy
dollars, in tens, on the "Dank of Charlotte, D.
C.," which is, no doubt, upon the Bank of Charlotte,
N. C. A description of the bills is not given :
so your friends will have to keep a sharp look out,
for it is likely that a large amount has been put
in circulation where the Bank is known, the counterfeiters
having had the most complete working
apparatus. SETH.

IIogs.?The Louisville Courier of Wednesday,
says:
| The Cincinnati hog market seems to have broken
down. Letters from that city state that there
were large numbers in the pens, some of which
are selling ut $4 to $4.25 gross, (weighed there)
, and others ut $5 (J2A nett, for delivery late in this
month, and at $5.75 for December delivery.?
These pricts show a considerable decline, and are
much below the prices that have prevailed here or
in the inter or ot the State. The Kentucky feeders
will see that they will do better to send their
hogs to thi i market.
The Louisville Journal, of Sunday "ays;
The price offered hy puckers is still $4 50 gross,

Another Atlantic Cable ?The most Impor
tant intelligence received by the Steamer Circas
sian. which arrived at St. John-, Newfoundland,
on Saturday?making the voyage from Galway in
ttn days, having left on the 20th?is that preparations
were on loot for laying another Atlantic Ca
Mi*. Indeed, the British steamer Gorgon had arrived
at Liverpool, from Fayul, having been em
ployed in taking soundings. It seems that, as indeed
was expected from the first, the electrical
I communication cannot he relied up>n. from shore
to shore, for? distance so great as, say 2.000
miles between Newfoundla'd and Ireland.
It would appear that the present purpose is to
run the Cable front Trinity Bay In Fayal, and
thence to the Fngiish Channel, (Southampton
probably being the terminus,) and thus dividing
the continuity. Of course the laying of this ca
ble, or any other, cannot be proceeded with until
next year. Indeed, on the principle of Mrs. Glass's
celehrated receipt for making hare-soup, commencing
with, "First eatoh your hare," wo mi-'ht
-'ay. "First make your cable!" lr is to he hoped
I that two cables will be simultaneously manufactured,
paid our, and laid. If ever there wpre a
case where the aphorism "Two strings to your
bow," ought to be carried out, it is this.
Correspondence of the Charleston Mercury.
Washington, November 11th, 18-38.
An important move is just takiug place on the
political chess board. It is the union of the
"Riehmoud South" and the "Washingtou States"
to-dny announced in the States, which is to be enlarged
under the editorial control of Mr, Pryor.
"The South," it is understood, was formerly too
"extreme" for the latitude of Virginia, and has
not thriven in a pecuuiary point of view, though
possessing a large circulation. And, although
fault has been found with Pryor throughout the
Cotton States for his course during the summer,
he has been as staunch as he could, to exist amidst
the wire pulling, log-rolling aspirants of the Old
| Dominion. The "South" was regarded as the organ
of the Hunter democracy, and the "States,"
i an evening paper of Washington, has been the
personal organ of Poi'oias, devoted to his fortunes.
The "South" last winter bitterly denounced
Douglas, but Southern Senators looked upon
his transgression with forgiving eye, squinting,
possibly, to the future. The "South" afterwards
preferred the renegade democrat to a consistent
foe, the black republican Lincoln, and has advo!
cntcd Douglas' rc election. It is generally
| thought now that Hunter has the inside track for
! the next nomination for the Presidency before the
i Democratic Convention,?Davis, Orr. Cobb, Stephens.
Toombs. Johnson, Brown, Sliuell, and
j the rest of the twenty Southorn aspirants to the
I contrary notwithstanding. In combination with
! Douglas, his chances of sucoess will be benefitted,
j Aud while Hunter's friends want the Presidency
' for him, Douglas wants the Vice Presidency, or
I at any rate wants his democracy white washed.?
| In this coalition the "Little Giant" plays a strung
| game, backed in his degenerate democracy by one
! of the most taleuted editors from the largest and
! most influential democratic State in the South
i and the Union.
If report then ho true, the Richmond Enquirer,
that lantt whig-Wise organ of Southern anti Lecopmpton
democracy, is diddled, and though "the
South" collapse, all the praises aud vindications
of Douglas are gone without a consideration iu
I behalf of the very distinguished letter-writing
Governor.
But though Douglas be recognized as a g?uuino
democrat, and though he and Senator Hunter tie
run at the next Presidential election, defeat awaits
the party, and a black republican will fill the
chair of state and sway the destinies of the South
?if she submit. Seward. as the leader of that
party, may be run ; hut the probability is a more
moderate and less committed limn will be selected,
for the abolition party is the most skillful one
that has ever risen in the country, and the disso
lution of the Union is the last thing they want.
Mr. Douglas undoubtedly calculates (if re eleci
tedj that his political position will be so strong
that lie will be able to coerce the whole par'y, or
hy dividing it. subjept it to the certain alternative
of a defeat at the hands of the abolition party. If
the democratic pnrty is us timid and contemptible
j as be iu good sutured enough to suppose it, tbie
sort of arithmetic may do; hut 1 imagiue he will 1
find it still has sufficient self-respect remaining :
(in spite of his attempts to demoralize it) not to 1
permit itself to be dragooned into his service when- i
ever it may suit liitn to make use of it. When a ;
little less than a year ago he virtually separated
himself from the democratic party, he struck the
severest blow it was in his power to inflct upon i
I it. lie then also threw away the strongest and I
sharpest arrow in his quiver. In his ill-judged i
attempt to make himself the party, he inflicted I
upon his political reputation an incurable wound.
' which will disqualify hint for service as a leader , <
j of it to the end of his life. So that, with all the
prestige, of a re-election to the Senate, he is really
' not a little more formidable than he was last win- 1
f tcr, when, at ti e very pinnacle of his factious op- , (
' position, he wa9 treated as an alien and a traitor. : i
Taking this view of his ense, his chances of bullyieg
or bribing the fifteen democratic States of the
t South into his support, are melancholy in the ex- '
I treme. Out of Illinois where a personal contest
! prevented it, the anti-Lecompton democrats have
' become identified with the black republicans.? :
I And this is the destiny of Douglas.
A Singular Canon in New Mexico.-?The
; troops sent out from Fort Defiance to punish a !
I band of hostile Indians in the neighborhood, sue- j
ceedcd in capturing five thousaud heed of siieep '
and six Indians. Six Indians were killed, and
; two soldiers were also killed during the fight.?
The troops entered a remarkable gorge or canon,
climbing down the mountain side at almost its j
centre, through a narrow passage, where a single
horseman only could pass, and at the ri<k of being
precipitated, by a false step, down a chasm
of five hundred feet. The walls of the caain are
in some places fifteen hundred feet high. Arrows
shot from the top at the tioops below lost their
direction by the resistance of the air and came
down horizontally. Stones thrown down were
broken before they reached the hottnm from the
; same cause. It is about 40 or 00 miles through
j it. Peaches and corn were found in it in great
i quantities. The peaches arc said, by the officers,
t<> ho very fine. Several prisoners were tnken in
i the canon. Had the tribe in any numbers stood
j fight here, they could have annoyed the troops
I much without a doubt. It was a hazardous march,
j and the success is a matter of wonder as well as
j of congratulation. The opinion is expressed by
j some of the officers, that ten determined men,
well untied, could have resisted the entrance of
the troops into the canon.
j Singular Affair.?Our exchanges have for
; some weeks past contained uotices of the trial of
I Ri?v. J. R. Graves, (author of the Iron Wheel, and
I Editor of thp Tennesst > Baptist,) before the First
! Baptist Church of Nashville, on a charge of slandering
a brother minister through his paper, and
endeavoring to divide and distract the church.?
In the early part of the >:rial, Eider Graves protested
against the proceedings, on the ground
i that the trial was not conducted on scriptural
j principles. But the church refused to suspend
the trial by a large majority, and thereupon Eli
der Graves withdrew. The moderator then inforI
med him that tliero were but two ways to get out
' of the Baptist church?one by death, and the other
by expulsion?a view which Elder Graves had
always contended for. Mr. Graves and bis party,
however, organized a church of their own, and
declared the majority in "disorder." The trial
I was proceeded with, and all the charges sustain'
cd.
| The Baptist State Association met at Nashville
| in a few days, and delegates were sent from both
branches of the division. The State Association,
i upon organizing, rejected the majority delegates,
and elected Elder Graves Moderator over the
State Association.
Ir would seem, therefore, that a division of the
Baptist church is imminent. IIow far it may extend,
ia yet to be seen.
The State Agricultural Fair closed at Columbia
on Friday. The Carolinian says:
This closed the interesting exhibition which ;
has been daily attracting its thousands, all oxulj
ting in the eheefing evidence of the varied resources
of our State, and the skill, invention and
I growing energy of our people. Every one felt
! that this prodigal display of the capacity of both
I the soil and people, was convincing that whatevJ
er may occur, South Carolina will safely rest upon
her own resources, and contend successfully with
the exigencies the future piay surround her with.
Before the distribution of prizes, a good deal of
stock was sold.
I About 12 o'clock, the crowd collected on the
J south side of the central building, where Col. Calhoun
briefly addrrssed them. He pronounced
the Society and the Fair a lixed Institution. Our
State, he said occupied such a position, that, from
soil and cliniute, she could produce more valuable
products than any other in the Confederacy.?
His remarks were sensible an t pertinent. The
distribution of prizes then commenced."
?
Would you be Rich??A very pretty question,
to be sure ! Who wouldn't be rich if they could?
Rut then, the question is, how is one to get rich ?
Be quiet: just wait half a minute and we'll tell
you. Send an X or a V. or even half a V, on to
Swan k Co.. Augusta Georgia, for a ticket in their
lottery. That ticket will draw a prize. If the
first one don't, the second one will. We once
knew a man who, growing tired of foiling from I
morn till night, sent to Swan ? Co. a ten dollar
hill. A friend tried to dissuade liirn from so doing,
but he was determined to try his luck. His
ticket drew a prize of ?20,000, and the consequence
was, that man tried again and again, and
I l_ _ ?r ii.o men in our citv The
| now lie 13 win- hi in.. ..... ?
I same chance is open to all. for those who cannot
I afford to huy a whole ticket can get a half or a
quarter one, The truo spirit of democracy is displayed
hy Swan's customers, for nil, rich and
poor, join together in patronizing him.?NY.

A Governor Non Pu'ssed.?The other nigbtos
; the Minis'ers were returning from Conference, on
J the Bast Tennessee (Ga.) Rail Road, nn amusing
j occurrence took place between Gov. Brown and
j Parson Brownlow. Just before the cars arrived
?t Knoxvillc, Gov. Brown came up, and taking the
j Parson by the hand, remarked:
"How do you do, brother Brownlow? I am
happy to see you."
The courtesy was returned, when the Governor
J continued:
"I hope you will moderate in all your notions of
! propriety in regard to your fellow-citizens?live a
good Christian?nnd last, though not least, become
a good Democrat."
The Partton, with the eccentric look peculiar to
himself, stretched himself up and remarked:
"Governor, an old gentleman of your politics,
many hundred years ago, took our Saviour upon
a mountain, and preached just such a sermon."
The outburst of laughter can better be imagined
than described.?Cincinnati Gazette.
Sunday Laws in Cincinnati.?The Mayor of
Cincinnati, on the petition of two or three hundred
citizens, has stopped the oranibusses from
running on Sunday. This act has produced an
unusual excitement in that city, and the question
of his right to do so is debated pro and con. It
I is urged, on behalf of the Mayor, that there is a
j law against Sunday travelling, and it is the duty
j of a good officer to enforce the laws as he finds
! them. On the other band, it is said that the law
, has been so long a dead letter, that it was not
1 thought worth while to repeal it. The Mayor,
! oonspquently, was Dot called upon by any public
I considerations to revive it. The question will
probably be debated till the Legislature takes hold
of it, either to repeal or confirm the law.

Good Advice for the Young.?The following
from the Baltimore Patriot, published in & city
than which none in the Union is suffering more
from the effects of rowdyism, contains a volume
ot sermons condensed to such brevity that the
worst memory can retain its warnings :
There is no truer proverb than that "a man is
known by the company he keeps." If a lad of
twelve nnd upwards is generally found in the com
pany of his sisters or "cousins," and associating
and affiliating with thegentler sex?accompanying
them to lectures and places of rational amusement
and instruction, mixing in the social and domestic
circle?found at all times practicipating in the
agreeable health entertainments, but above all,
habitually in the house of worship on the Lord's
1 day, it is proof positive that euoh so one willfrofL
up to be respected by every body?will be a useful
ind valuable citizen in society, and ten to one,
become a consistent Christian in all his walk and
ind convention. On the other hand, let this
jrouth habitually associate with the rowdy classes
?run with the "mashoen"?smoke in the streets
?shun female society?tipple at the low groggeries?use
of profane language?absent hiuiself from

Message ok the Governor or Miasms!ppi.?
The Legislature of Mississippi met in extra session
on the 1st inst. The Governor's message is mainly
devoted to State affairs. He recomm'-ndsa tax of
a quarter of one per cent, on all taxable property
for the purpose of finishing all the railroads in the
State now in course of construction ; opposes the
issue ot State botfds to improve the levee sy-tem,
and earnestly urg< s many reform- in the conmi n
schools. Certain ann-sinvi-rytesntunons, received
from tin- Governors ?>f Mnine, Massachusetts and
N w Hampshire, are denounced as fauatical and
incendiary.
Another Sect Dead.?The Pnrkerties (a spurious
sort of Baptist) built a church some twenty
years ago. in Coles county. 111., and so deeded it
that it' there ever was allowed within its walls a
temperance lecture, aBib!es< ciety meeting, amissionnry
meeting, or a Sunday school, the title was
forfeited and fell hack to the original owner. Ten
years since, its pulpit became vacaut for want of
hearers, and now the sheep and swine sleep there.
Weed's Patent Sewi.no Machine is before us.
We have examined it and tried it on various kinds
of work, and for once confess ourselves astonished
that so Himple a piece of mechanism will sew.?
The complaint against Sewing Machines generally,
has been that they very easily get out of order,
and become useless to the purchaser. But here Is
an exception, for there is, to appearances, nothing
to get out of repair. Ami we wonder again, so
simple a thing will sew such a beautiful, straight,
even and firm seam, that never can be rivaled,
either in beauty or strength, by any work done in
the ordinary way. It sews in the finest muslin or
the coarsest hardest cloth, doing every kind of
workwhicli families require, and is also adapted
to shoe and saddle manufacturers'use. We have
seen some very elegant specimens of work done on
leather, that was not only handsome but strongWe
have never seen so complete a Sewing Machine
before, or one we could so freely recommend to
our readers, who need such a thing as this; and
since Sewing Machines have become almost a necessity
in every family where there is much sewing'to
be done, we advise all to purchase this in preference
to any other.
