When the train started, she was placed in charge of the messenger, and arrived at her place of destination in safety, By the disobedience of a lad in 1809, a garden gate in Rhode Island was left open, a pig got in and destroyed a few plants, a quarrel between the owners of the pig and the garden grew out of it, which spread among their friends, defeated the Federal candidate for tnc Legislature and gave the State a Democratic Senator, by whose vote the war of 1812 with Great Britain was declared. The cotton estimates are now complete, showing a total product of 1,750,000 bales, of 400 lbs. each. As the actual bales are now nearly oUU nounds each. *this is equivalent to 1.500,000 such Dales. The estimates are made up as follows:?

The Wytheville (Va.) Dispatch, relates the following: A couple came in town last Wednesday, rode up to Parson Sullin's house, and said they desired to be joined in the holy state of wedlock. The parson kindly invited them to dismount and come in. but they declined, saying time was precious, and urged the parson to push on immediately with the ceremony, which ne did, in the i ' best manner, in double quick time,' in front of his house, the snow falling rapidly at the time. This marriage, on horseback, is the first we ever heard of; but presume from wnat we heard that the bride and groom went their way perfectly satisfied." The report of the Comitiiasioner of the Land Office, as the best accredited estimate, sets down the entire population of the United States at about 100,000,000,000. in the year 1900. This gives, for the year 1870. about 42,250,000, and for 1865, say 35,000,000; the population given by the last census being, in round numbers, 31,000,000. The total area, including inland water surface, of the United States is about 3,250,000 square miles, or about 2.000,000,000 of acres. Look one hundred years ahead, and we have the astonishing figure of more than 2^000,000,000, of people living on land at the rate oi an inhabitant to an acre. A schoolmaster, after giving one of the scholars a sound drubbing for speaking bad grammar, sent him to the other end of the room to inform another boy that he wished to speak with him, and, at the same time promising to repeat the dose if he spoke to him ungrammatically.

Scott, addressed to the "landlords and laborers" of Stmth Carolina, was published in our last issue. It was evidently penned with kind feelings towards both the parties addressed, and displays a desire on the part of the writer to do justice to the interests of both. But there a few points contained in the circular, in which we think the General misses his aim and rather discriminates against the rights of the planter. One of these points is the definition given of the duties binding upon that very large class of freedmen who hire themselves during the year, for a share of the crop. 'I'kafia rvAMOAnn Vi a aIaadao no ' '/i Wvr\ r\?*?*o " on/3 Ro J.UCOC [^lOVUO UC V/IOOCCO ao vivppvio j unu *1V sets forth the idea that when the crop is secured, their part of the contract is fulfilled, and they should be exempted from further labor during the year. Labor connected with the plantation, in which the growing crop is not concerned, he thinks should be compensated for by free rations, which he considers a fair remuneration for such out-of-the-contract labors. Now, if this theory of settlement is to be adoptr ed, it is very doubtful whether our farmers can afford to make any coutracts. Most of the fredmen will not contract for any reasonable fixed wages in money, but prefer to work for a share of the crop, and furnish themselves with provisions during the year. Nor have they generally considered it a hardship to go to mill, cut fire-wood, repair fences, clear land, &c., at those intervals when the crop does not require their immediate attention; inasmuch as all these things must be done to keep up a well regulated farm. But if Gen. Scott's idea of freedmen's duties is correct, all these necessary labors become "extras," for which the farmer ought to pay extra wages.? We are of the opinion that few farmers are either able or willing to hire laborers on any such terms. If any could be found willing to try it, they would probably find themselves in debt at the end of the year, or if not in debt, their resources outside the growing crop would prevent it The theory of paying extra wages, to laborers for work necessaiy to keep the farm in good working order is unjust to the farmer. It throws upon him all the expense of sustaining the goose which lays her golden eggs as much for the freedman as for him. The plantation is the farmer's capital, and if the freedman is allowed to use it in making a crop, he is, in justice, bound to aid in preserving it uninjured from the wear and tear of daily use. Otherwise, the use of the plantation is precisely similar to a man's using money in business without paying interest for it. THE IMPEACHMENT. The idea seems to prevail throughout our exchanges, that the Radical party does not intend really to impeach Mr. Johnson. One correspondent intimates that the whole proceedings of Congress, relative to the matter, were intended merely as a trick to raise the price of gold in New Tork. As gold went up three per cent., as soon * ?i - - *i x ? L! is it was Known mere mat iiupeuciuug resoiuuoua had been introduced into Congress, this supposition may be correct. Other correspondents attribute these demonstrations to a desire for notiriety on the part of certain members, who have failed to discover any other way of becoming famous; while not a few charge them entirely to "buncombe." It is generally asserted by those who are near the scene of action, that none of the impeachment projects will, ever come to light again, after they have once reached the Committee room to which they are consigned by Congress. The ground for this contempt of Congressional threats appears to be the entire absence of anything like proof to fasten upon President Johnson the commission of crirne, in a legal sense. It is an easy matter for Representative? to declaim by the hour upon the derelictions of the President, and even to compose vague resolutions of censure, for the manner in which he has discharged the duties of his office. But when it becomes their task to specify particular instances of treason, maladministration, &c., and to bring forward direct evidence of their charges, the loudest of his denouncers shrink from the effort, and take refuge in renewed howls of impotent calumniation. The truth is, Mr. Johnson's chief offence consists in vetoing Radical measures for enriching themselves and impoverishing the already plundered South. And until it becomes a crime, in the eyes of the law. to oppose such schemes, they had better let impeachment alone. The powder contained in their cartridges is not strong enough to reach the mark, and they will only burn their lingers to no purpose by using it. Three sets of these impeaching resolutions have been introduced into Congress; all of them were referred to the J udiciary Committee, which is not instructed, but "authorized" to investigate the subject. Their word "authorized" used in referring them, gives the Committee power to drop the whole thing, if they wish to do so. Mr. Ashley, who had the honor (?) of fathering the first impeachment resolutions, is not regarded, even by his friends, as a Solomon. Nor is his character as pure as might be expected of a man who sets up to be a rebuker of corruption in high places, as he was himself charged with corruption in office, while a member of the Committee of Territories, a few years ago. bankrupt law. We see it stated, in a Washington letter, that the Senate will probably pass, during the present session, the general batikiupt bill passed by the House towards the close of the last session. This bill was postponed by the Senate, for want of time, owing to the press of other business. It is to be hoped they will soon find time for the consideration of this important matter. The people of this section at least can very well afford to wait to be reconstructed, if Congress will only relieve them from the pecuniary embarrassments caused by the war. 0f all the measures yet proposed in Congress, for the amelioration of the state of the country, this is the only one which embodies any real advantage to the South, and we hope it will become a law. THE WANTS OF THE SOUTH. Among other requirements of the South, just at t this time, one of the most pressing is enterprise, f Our people have been for so many years accustomed i to an easy jog-trotting way of life?a life which i required of them nothing more than a close follow- c ing in the steps of their fore-fathers, that they do J not realize the full value of this virtue. So long t as he was able to make cotton in the way his father 1 did before him, the Southern farmer cared not to t make any improvements upon thejold man's way i of farming. It was always a difficult task to per- i suade him to try anything that his father had never 1 tried, even when the advantage to be gained by the 1 change, was plain as the nose on his face. His re- '< ply to all proposed improvements was stereotyped, i and ran Drettv much as follows; "Well, the old t man was a pretty good farmer, and he never tried any of your patent machines. He always managed to make a living, and I reckon I can't do better than to do as he did." This argument had some force in it, as long as we had the old man's means for doing as he did; that is, while eveiy man's premises were crowded with fat, little "nigs" growing to future usefulness, and his fields were worked by submissive and faithful grown darkies, who could be made to do whatr soever seemed good in the' 'old man's'' eyes. Even in those halcyon days, however, the effect of this system was to hold the South back, while all the rest of the civilized world was steadily advancing. Just previous to the war, she was as helplessly dependent on the North for almost every manufactured article, and to a great extent, even for a regular supply of grain and meat, as a babe upon its mother. It is within the memory of all, how lamentably deficient we were, in the material for clothing and feeding our armies, and our people too, from the beginning to the end of the struggle. It J is true, we had plenty of cotton, but we had very little else. Our government was, in self-defence, 1 forced to commence almost every kind of factoiy and f machine shop necessary to keep the concern afloat. 1 And at last the undertaking in which we were all interested failed, more than from any other cause, ( from inability to carry on, in a proper manner,, the 1 work-shops and grain crops at home. The South ( paid a costly price for the lesson, that something ( besides ability to make cotton is necessary to keep up a nation. Let us hope that the lesson was not ? vain; let us trust that new experiments will not be ! so distasteful to our people, in future. They should now be willing to try anything which will add to , their individual or sectional resources. Let it be remembered that the negro no longer ^ sustains the edifice of Southern society. That pillar was pulled down by the Samson of Fanaticism, , and it is now necessary to erect a new building "from the ruins of the old, which must rest upon new foundations and be supported by more substantial columns than the "nigger." Instead of a gang of f obedient and contented slaves, the farmer now has to put up with a pack of lazy freedmen, who are t generally much tormented by the idea of working a little more than their share. He is compelled to , keep a close eye to their rations, or they will eat more than their share of the crop is worth at the * end of the year. In addition to all this, nearly every man is in debt, and has heavier taxes to pay than ever before. The tendency of farming at this time is to dis- j courage those who follow that business; to make them despair of ever accomplishing anything under such unfavorable circumstances. It is a great j trial for a man to work hard all the year, only to find himself worse off than he was when he began. Yet many will hang on to their old plans t and methods, with dead loss staring them in the face. How much more rational it seems for a man to quit the old track, when circumstances have rendered it unprofitable.. No one should eVer grow ^ too wise or too old to learn from others, and, in ^ our present situation, no one should be too proud to give up old cherished ways, if there is money in the change. The drift of our idea is that Southern men should pay more attention to developing ^ the resources of the South, by doing all in their a power to establish and encourage every enterprise ^ which promises to do this, whether agricultural, commercial or mechanical. j( IIFOKTAM UtUlSlUNS. .The Supreme Court has lately rendered two de- ^ cisions of much importance to pardoned rebels. In the first case, John Cummins, a Roman Catholic . priest of Missouri, was prohibited, by -the courts " of that State, from preaching and teaching with- 1 out having previously taken the test oath required by the Constitution of Missouri. The Supreme Court decides the test oath in this case to be un- lc constitutional, because it partakes of the nature of C a punishment without trial, and is, in its nature, n ex post facto. The Court, therefore, reverses the ? decision of the Court below, and discharges Mr. ^ Cummins, with full liberty to teach and preach, in p defiance of the Missouri test oath. c< The second decision, in the case of Garland n and Marr, respectively from Arkansas and Lousi- a' ana, involves the right of lawyers who took part in ?! the rebellion to be re-admitted to practice, which tj is prohibited by the United States test oath now in force. The Court decides in favor of the appli- ft cants, on the following grounds: 1st The statute, h forbidding their restoration to the rights of prac- c' tising attorneys, is ex post facto, as it imposes 01 punishment for acts that were not punishable at ^ the time they were committed. 2d. The appli- c< cants obtained pardon from the President, which tl relieves themfrom the consequences of their offence, & and makes them, in the eye of the law, what they ^ were before the offence was committed. The Court ( decides and orders that the rule, requiring attor- a neys to take the oath, must be rescinded. MERE-MENTION. ?

It was not surprising ' lat Ashley found none such, if this was his mo- ' ve. Mr. Johnson would not be disturbed, were ? lis requirement enforced in Congress. s But Mr. Ashley, all unworthy, as he truly con- h (sses, took upon himself the accusation. The 0 lepublican shows how little he was entitled to aclse anybody, by reviving some very dishonest acts f the impeacher, brought to light before a comlittee of the House of Representatives, in 1863. o l report submitted to the House by one of its tl immittees, on the 28th February, 1863, shows ^ lat Mr. Ashley was charged with "corrupt official r induct," and only escaped by a "flaw in the inictment."^ He was accused of obtaining an office >r a "consideration previously made," and esca- P ed because it was not exactly proven that the fl insideration had been "previously agreed upon." tl Ashley procured the appointment of F. M. Case n 3 Surveyor-General of Colorado. Among the letin of Ashley to Case, pending his exertions for le appointment, is one dated Februap'2, 1861, i hp dwells on thn imnnrt.inpp nf thp riffipp. lying that it would enable a good business man c; n meaning "rogue," probably,) to make a for- 0 me of $50,000 or $100,000, and, in the same let- ^ ir, he says: "I want my brother as chief clerk!" u March 12, 1861, Ashley, by letter, informs ase that he had made some progress, and that. n in order to secure the Indiana delegation and & enator Lane to operate on Smith, he had nromis- p I that the sub-appointments should be made joint- (\ r, he giving them their first choice." He asks >r a letter authorizing him to make such a pledge.

He was re-elected to Congress under t] re influence of his furious radicalism and zeal for , le war, We conjecture that it would be found ? enerally that, like the French revolutionists, many * fthe leaders of the present Congress are men ti hose characters will not stand the scrutiny of in- w estigation.

The prospect for o ic next season is very bad, as we learn from varius sources. Neither capital nor labor from the p lorthern States or Europe is flowing into the cOt- jj in mnrinn K,,? onnaiftpmhlfi DOrtion of that which ras employed in the production of cotton in 18UG ^ ill be withdrawn.

Previous to the repeal of that 3ction, he pardoned political offenders, on the lore recommendation of the Provisional Goverors and other reliable parties, endorsed by the Lttorney General, except in rare instances, where olicy suggested delay. He still has, according to be Constitution, the right to pardon on his own crsonal investigation. The difference consists bicfly in the greater amount of time it will require ir him to examine the details of each case. Forlerlythe responsibility and trouble ofinvestigang the claims of applicants for pardon fell upon le persons who recommended the pardon. Now has all to be sustained by the President alone.? he repeal of the 13th section has, therefore, parally effected the object of the Radicals?which as to curtail the President's power of pardon, y throwing so many obstacles against the exerisc of that power as to make him sparing in the sc or it. Sundry citizens of Massachusetts presented ) the Senate, through their great oracle, Mr. Sumer, a protest against the admission of Nebraska, itli a constitution prohibiting negro suffrage.? 'erliaps these champions for negro rights might nd better employment for .their time, in seeking' )iue plan to keep the shoe factories of Lynn in peration. Unfortunately for the pecuniary interests of that hilanthropic city, the merchants of the South ave not been able to purchase shoes in such large uantitics as ihey were wont to do, previous to the poon and relic hunting excursions of Gen. Butler nd other friends of the frcedman. As a conseuencc, Lynn has a large stock of shoes on hand to dl cheap for cash, but is somewhat hard up for the ifling articles of bread and meat. At least, the peratives of Lynn have raised a cry for help, hich ought to claim the attention of Massachuitts philanthrophy in preference to the privileges P freedmen in Nebraska. But Massachusetts was Iways celebrated for a tender regard for the affairs P other people, even to the neglect of her own usiness. She got up a bloody war, from this proensity, and even now, when she is beginning to ;el its effects in the susceptible regions of the pocket, the ruling passion crops out. as strong as ever before. The President, on the 9th inst, sent to the ' House of Representatives a partial list of promi. nent persons in the Southern States, pardoned for their political transgressions. Among these were Governors Pierpont, of Virginia; Holden, of North Carolina; Perry of South Carolina; Johnson, of [ C eorgia; Marvin, of Florida; Parsons, of Alabama; Wells, of Louisiana; and Brownlow, of Tennesseee. , Hon. Pierre Soule, of Lousiana, was pardoned without recommendation, and Captain Duncan L. Ingraham, on the recommendation of Admiral Shubrick and others. It will no doubt surprise our readers to find the name of the righteous Brownlow in the above list This certainly must be a mistake. A man whose oharacter as a Saint stands so high <jp the Radical calendar, can scarcely need pardon. We thought he had a "small balance" to his credit He claims [ to have one on the books of his Maker; but it is to be feared he will heed1 'pardon'' worse than he now does, when those books are to be settled up. The Richmond Christian Advocate gives the following footing of the vote on the proposition to change the name of the Methodist .Episcopal Church, and to admit lay delegation: For change of name, 1,049; against change of name, 418; for lay delegation, 1,061; against lay delegation, 400. Lay delegation lacks 33} votes to make it a law. and there are 50| votes to be overcome to effect a 7 change in the name of the church. The Baltimore Conference is the only one now to . vote, and it is not probable that the result will be i materially altered by the vote of that Conference. > Both measures, therefore, may be considered as > lost T The Democratic State Convention of Con5 necticut, met at New Haven on the 8th instant? i Speeches were made by a number of prominent ) Northern men, and among others, by Mr. Brooks, member of Congress from New York. In his speech, Mr. Brooks said: "If Congress attempt to impeach the President, 1 and he calls for aid to support the Government, in ; my judgment not one or ten thousand railroad trains would be sufficient to transport the Democracy to Washington. If such a course were persisted in, civil war would not be oonfined to the other side of the Potomac, but desolation and ruin would be brought to our homes." In a communication to the Secretary of War on the 21st ultimo, General Howard, of the Freedmen's Bureau, says: "In Virginia, the freedmen have decreased in number; estimated population at this date 500,000. North Carolina estimated about the census of 1860 1 ?360,000. South Carolina decreased ^ present population estimated at 375,000: Georgia estima' tea at 400,000. The population of Florida has re' mained about the same as when the census of 1860 , was taken?62,677. In .Mississippi, a census has been taken since the close of the war, showing a slight decrease; 320,006 is the present colored pop1 ulation of the State. In Louisiana, reported colored population 350,000. Texas?the Assistant s Commissioner of the. State reports an increase; ' coloredpopulationestimatedat200,000. Missouri? : it is probable that the freedmen have left this State | in large numbers for Kansas, Iowa, &c.; estimated colored population 100,000. In Arkansas, the colored population has decreased to about 100,000. ! In Tennessee, the Assistant Commissioner esti mates an increase from 280,000 colored population r in 1860, to 300,000." The Spicy "local" of the Charleston News, ' furnishes that paper with the following "History of > Umbrellas," ' 'The weeping skies that ushered in the new year, and the subsequent flood that threatened to engulph us, caused much hurrying to and fro and seeking for shelter. Umbrellas were captured from the unwary, and even Daniel's celebrated blue cotton would not have been safe from sacrilegious hands. It has been decided by some learned judge, who probably had just made an umbrella, that they were not property, and therefore liable to be sequestered when seen lying around loose. Be this as it may, umbrellas have always been an institution, and from the earliest ages were Used as articles of luxury and as a shade from the sun. The sculptures and paintings of Egypt represent a general use of the umbrella, and tne recent discoveries at Nineveh show that it was generally carried over Kings in time of 'peace, ana even in war. In shape these resemble very closely those now in common use, but are always seen open in the paintings. From the very limited use of the umbrella in Asia and Africa, it seems to have passed as a distinction and a luxury into Greece and Italy. At Rome, when the veil could not be spread over the roof of tne theatre, it was the custom for . females and effeminate men to defend themselves from the sun with the umbraculum of that period. The umbrella was used in England as a luxurious sunshade early in the 17th century. Ben Jonson mentions it by name in a comedy, produced in 1616. In those days the umbrella was composed exteriorly of feathers in imitation of the plumage of a bird; afterwards oiled silk was the ordinary material, and Swift says in his "City Shower: "The tucked up seamstress walks with hasty strides. While streams run down her oiled umbrella's sides." These early specimens, when wet, were exceedingly difficult to open or to close. The stick was heavy and inconvenient, and the article generally very expensive. It was originally held in a fashion the reverse of the present, for it then had a ring on the top, by which it was usually carried on the finger or hung up when not in use. On account of their rarity and cost, they were carefully preserved and religiously guarded: but as years rolled on manufactories were established, and umbrellas became what they are at present?cheap, serviceable, and easily appropriated." For several years, a new invention?the "Pneumatic Railway?has been in operation in England. It cons.'sts of a simple brick tunnel, nine feet high and eight feet wide. Within it, rails are laid, and on these rails a car, fitted closely to the tunnel, and filled with passengers, is propelled. The air is exhausted at one end of the tunnel, and 1 the pressure of the air from the other opening upon j the vehicle, forces it through almost instantanr eously. The system is about to be introduced into New York. The correspondent of the Charleston Courier, writing from the former city, says of the scheme: "Col. M. 0. Davidson, a civil engineer of repute, has prepared plans (which he has submitted to the committee appointed by the State Senate on the City Railway question,) in which he proposes to connect the cities of New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City, as well as the upper and lower ends of Manhattan Island, on the pneumatic principle. Trains of cars are to be forced by the air through freightof the heaviest kind. For tlie convenience of loading and unloading, stations or openings to the surface are to be made every quarter of a mile. The advantages claimed for this system are manifold. The cost of building the railway compared with that of the steam railway is at least one-half; one-half the number of employees are sufficient; and the cost of running, ana the wear and tear of machinery are in the same proportion. The rapidity aind ease of motion, and the absence of smoke, cinders and steam, render it a pleasanter mode of transit There can be no danger from collision, and the comparative cheapness of construction and working, will justify the reduction of passenger fares to one cent per mile, and leave a large margin for profit on thecapital invested. The investigation of tnis system is now before the Senate Committee, with a fair prospect of being substituted for the steam underground railway.' We take from an exchange the following account of an incident in the war now raging in the island of Candia, which is situated in the Mediterj ranean Sea. This war is carried on by the Turkish Sultan against a small Doay 01 wscnnstain sutyects. ' As usual in all wars for religious opinions, the con- j test is bloody, and the resistance of the weaker j party of the most desperate nature. ? j "Arcadion is a convent, situated in a strong po- i sition in the Department of Rethymnos. It was occupied altogether by five hundred and forty persons, three hundred and forty-three of whom J were women and children, leaving one hundred and 1 ninety-seven men capable of bearing arms. Upon 1 the 20th, Mustapha Pacha left his headquarters at < Episcopi with twelve thousand men, ana advanced * upon tne convent demanding the surrender of the ' garrison. The Cretans refused and the Turkish 1 artillery immediately opened a tremendous fire upon ( the place, keeping up the bombardment two days and nights. A breach being at last effected in the walls, the Turks who had suffered heavy losses, i poured into the convent court This was surrounded with small cells, in which the Christians had barricaded themselves and kept up their fire for six hours. Finding all resistance ineffectual, the defenders of the convent formed the desperate resolution of setting fire to the powder magazine. A monk applied tne match. The explosion was tremendous, hurling Turks and Christians into the air, strewing the neighborhood with corpses. Two thousand Turkish soldiers were killed on the spot, and large numbers wounded. Thirty-nine men and sixty women and children of the garrison were all that epoaptd. These were taken prisoners and carried on to Rethymnos. The * wounded Turks are daily being brought into hospital. Canea and Souda have received upwards of a thousand, many being officers?among tnem being Mustapha Pacha's brother-in-law. The Turkish army is reported to be much dispirited by this disaster, I The following statistics, in reference to the vice in New York, are taken from the annual report of the New York Police Department: "Number of houses of ill-repute in New York, 721; number of inmates, 2,670; number of concert saloons of bad reputation, 75; number of inmates in ditto, 620; drinking saloons in which female waiters are employed, 11; female attendants, 127. The total shows that tne whole number of women of known bad character in* New York is between 3,000 and 4,000. The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun makes the following statements in reference to the Income Tax and the Gold Bill: A strong effort is to be made in the Ways and Means Committee to reduce the income tax to three instead of five per cent above $5,000, and that all incomes below $1,500 should be Mpmnt nnr> nil above that up to $50,000 should pay three cents. The committee, however, have not formally considered the subject, but they intend to do so in a few days. The gold bill will be definitely acted on in a few days; that is, the mode and manner of disposing of the gold, and the amount which it is thought expedient should be kent on hand. Gov. Cunningham, of Colorado, telegraphed to the House of Representatives in Washington, that the Legislature of that Territory has passed a resolution protesting against the admission of j Colorado into the Union as a State. They argue; first, that they have a right to a voice in selecting the character of the government, and second, that the population of Colorado is not sufficient to sustain the expense of a State government On the other hand, two hundred free American citizens, of the African scent, have telegraphed Sumner, that they must have a State out there, inasmuch as they find it impossible to exist without one. Of course Congress will listen to the voice of suffering Africa, in preference to a legislature of white men. We publish the annexed extract from a European paper, to give a specimen of th? manner in which Poland is governed by Russia. The story reads very much like one of Baron Munchausen's anecdotes, but as Poland is, without doubt, suffer-, ing fearful oppression, it may be true. A young Russian officer arrived at Vilna with dispatches from Mourevieff. 'Tell me," said the General to him, "are you'armed? If not, take this," handing him a pistol; "shoot the first man you meet on the street. You will be sure to have killed an enemy to Russia." The officer dined with the General's staff and their friends. The party was large and wine was drank freely. After dinner the officer left with three comrades. "You I did not ask," said one of them, "how we amuse ? ourselves after drinking. Come, and you will see." " They walked on, and presently reached a larce shed, from which a horrible stench issued. By tEe light of a lantern, which was placed on a hogshead, the officer distinguished a hundred corpses of young men, almost all clad in the garments of persons m easy circumstances. They were thrown tofether indisriminately, cut and shot, or with broen skulls. All had their wrists tiecL They were Polish prisoners, who had been assassinated by the officers of General MouraviefFs staff after leaving the table. This is the amusement at Vilna. On one occasion, a Governor was attacked on the street by a young man with light hair. By order of Mouravieff, all men with light hair were arrested. As each man was brought forward, Mouravieff asked the Governor if this was the man? "I only know," he replied, "that he was a man with light hair." "Hang this one," said the General Six men were hanged. The seventh declared that he was the guilty person. A poor widow applied on her knees, to Mouravieff for pardon for her son. He was very young, and had been dragged, she said, into the insurrection. "Come to-morrow," said Mouravieff,' 'you shall have him.'' She came; Mouravieff kept his word, but he had hanged him. . j TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE. BURNING OP THE WILLIAMSBURG JAIL?FEARFUL ' >1 L08S OF LIFE. We are called upon to record one of the most horrifying and melancholy accidents which has ever oecured within the limits of this State. Though an accident which no caution or foresight could ^ avoid, it will send a thrill of horror throughout the whole country. On the evening of the 7th instant, between the hours of 8 and 9 P. M., the occupant of the jail heard, very suddenly, a rumbling noise ia the upper stories of the jail as if the iron grates were being shaken, and immediately followed the cry of fire; he rushed from his room to ascertain whether the jail was on fire or not, and after walking around the jail he observed a little smoke, issuing from one of the windows on the third floor; his next object was to open the prison door and extinguish it, but remembering that Mr. Barineau, who was the jailor, and who was living several hundred yards from the jail, had the keys in his possession, he (the occupant of the jail) immediately dispatched a messenger for him. Mr. Barineau, accompanied by the Sheriff, were soon at the jail; in the mMnfim. linmocfl. nnmLim nf 1.-J ?' iumiuvuuvi uvnvivt) uvuuuvio Vi UOU Wl' lected. The fire, apparently, at this time had not made as rapid progress as was shown in a few minutes, although a dense smoke was issuing from every window. The Sheriff, with the assistance of nearly all the citizens of the village, and the garirison at this place, immediately took the most active measures to save, if possible, the unfortunate inmates. The door on the basement was opened, but the dense and suffocating smoke ^prevented any one from rescuing those who occupied the third stoiy. As a last resort, strenuous efforts were then made, with the assistance of ladders, to remove the . grating from one of the windows, which proved ineffectual. At this time the cries and screams of the suffering inmates were heart-rending. The jail was in names and twenty-two human beings were being burnt to death without any possible relief. Human agency could effect nothing; every effort was made to rescue them which could be suggested, but all to no purpose; the devouring lames soon consumed them, and in the charred ruin/-, is only to be seen the ghastly spectacle of bones. Horrible as the accident may be, and as much as it may be regretted, a consolation follows rf having done our duty to the best of our abilities; ind that accident is confined to no place or order of circumstances. With us rests the duty, but the result with God. At the time the jail caught fire there were in it rwenty-three prisoners. Twenty-two negroes were confined in the upper cells on the third floor, among whom were three women. On the second story Robert H. Flinn, a white man, was confined on sail process. Mr. M. F. McBride, by great daring, rushed to Mr. Flinn's room, which was the first one it the head of the stairway, and unlocked the door, be thereby making his escape. Mr. McBride dejerves the highest credit, but in his attempt to save ;he prisoner he came nigh losing his own life ; he oil twice by suffocation Defore ne reached the foot >f the staircase.
