An|I?maiiapa}Wf says that;"01d Grimes" is not d:a^ bog s|?? ?ros^and tcontinnes to wear his "old gray coat buttoned down before." A church in baltimore has the motto upon the TATfttefWaU?: '^? the poor the gospel is preached." One morning ibes a words were foui) d painted un? der ?Hbtf h?re1, though." r'Tfie^ouisvilte Courier announces that General -,?v:^..FQBBEST is now preparing, and will soon ??V^adyfor tho press, a book to be entitled "The,^^oire of Forrest's Cavalry." Since the complaints aroused by the stripping and flogging of young ladies in the Massachusetts schools, a new method of punishment has been adopted, which consista of opening the child's mouth and filling it with Cayenne popper. Naturalists have remarked 'that the squirrel is continually chatting to his fellow-squirrels in the , woods. This, we haye every reason to suppose, arises from the animal's love of gossip, as he is notoriously one of the greatest tail-bearers. The President has signed the bill appropriating $10,000,000 for the payment of invalid pensions; tS&?S^?OO for pensions to"widows, children, moth " ere, fathers, brothers, and sinters of soldiers, and .^Pendons to the same class just The Secretary of the Interior has furnished the Ways.and Hear s Committee a tabular statement 'showing that it will require $60,000,000.Of bonds to complete the vsrious lines of the Pacific railways now in the course of construction. Go it, Uncle 'Sam I ... DEAN TRENCH, ii "The Study of Words," says 'Tariff is derived from Tarina, tho name of the fortress or rock of Gibraltar, where the Moors, during their domination in Spain, were used to ' levy a tax upon all ships passing through the Straits. A Frenchman named GUSTAVE LAMBERT proposes to explore the open Polar Sea, first discovered by Pr. EASE. He has concluded to try a new route and enter, if possible, ibis open sheet of water at the North Pole from the other side, through Behr ing/s.Straits.- %. The Canadian Government have decided to .. 'place Government police at Niagara Falls, to pro? tect viators from extortion, and have given a gene? ral hint to museum keepers. [This police will have no sinecure if they attempt to carry out their in? structions.] Professor BENJAM?N PIERCE, of Harvard Univer? sity, has been appointed to succeed the late Pro? fessor BACHE as Superintendent of the Coast Sur? vey. His appointment was recommended by a large numbs? of the scientific men of the country and the prominent officers of the Coast Survey Bun au. - Tho ex-Gnind Duke of Tuscany has sent ina claim to tho Italian Government for the restoration of his personal property, which he values at about 60,000,000 of lire. - Among the articles he claims axe three Ra phael'^, and a great number of exqui? sito works o? art in silver, gold and precious stones. Italy' has taken possession sf her first piece of property injRome. It is the Palace of Firenze, be? longing to the'ex-Duke of Tuscany. The transfer was made by the Austrian Minister, Baron H?H? NER, and the Tuscan coat of arms taken down before daybreak in order to prevent any demonstra? tion. ; A correspond-nt to the. Hammondton (N.J.) Republican writes that he has made a wide circuit among the peach orchards, and finds the prospect good in moat of them, though some are jnuch in? jured. ' Ho finds strawberries, raspberries and blackberry s m first-rato condition, and promi?ing well for the season. 'Apples and pears are also good. BA man named WILLIAM COLLETT has been ar? rested, m -Yorktown, Indiana, flor attempting to swindle- the Merchants' Union. Expross Company. He called at the office and left a package said to contain $31)60 for transmission- to Cincinnati. Sus? picion was excited, the package was examined, and lound to contain two one dollar bills and two sheets af paper. COLLETT had lost $1800 by gaming a day prtwo. before.. TheBof?ton Transcript says: ''While .digging a ceHar in Gloucester the workmen exhumed five skeletons in x good degree of preservation. A stone, rudely fashioned in the shape of a mortar, was also lound. Tue supposition is that the re? mains are those of Indiana, and -one of the skele? tons was of exceedingly large proportions. Prob? ably the land in that vicinity was used -r? ? burying ground in aboriginal times, and further excava? tions would doubtless tend to confirm this state? ment." The iron-clad contractors' bill was up in the House last Friday, and the Senate bul and amend? ments nuking immediate appropriations were de? feated- ? One of the amendments, If carried through, would have cost the treasury from $15,000,000 to $20^000,000. The amendment of the committee, re . f erring all the. claims to the Navy Department to be adjusted, on the principle of paying contractors for delays or changes 'occasioned by tho Govern? ment, ahd to be reported to Congress for its final approval, was carried. The celebrated trick horse "Sensation," belong? ing to the equestrienne, Miss LEO HUDSON, and used in her'famous representation of "Mazeppa," met with a singular death in Paterson on Wednesday last. By some means he got his hind feet over the rope tied across the rear of his stall, and then in attempting to lie down the halter got under his neck, and being unable to raise himself he was in this manner choked to death. The horse was most wonderfully trained, and was val a ed at from eight to ten thousand dollars. A sealed bottle; picked up on the beach at Edgar town recently, contained a letter dated on board tho - transport Oriental, and worded as follows: " Whoever picks this up go to the governor of mass with all speed and inform him that in the camp at reddville and look under tho barrack formerly occupied by Co. D and ho will find $50, O00 of government money which was hid there by a paymaster he has not got it yet and the money can be recovered if looked for quick." The letter was forwarded to Gov. BULLOCK. German emigration this year to the United (States is expected to be larger than ever before. Over 150,000 emigrants are expected from Ger? many within the next 10 months. The causes, says the New York Herald, influencing this immense movement are, flret, the conviction that is gradu? ally spreading among the masses in Germany that our political troubles are over, and secondly the iear of conscription at homo. In Prussia this lat? ter feeling operates to such an extent that in some of the villages of the older provinces P. thud of their inhabitants will leave in the Bprinf The Order of jesuits publish annually statistics which show the progress of their society. At che dose of 1866 they reported four consistories and twenty provinces, the number of individual mem? bers of the Order being eight thoueand one hun? dred and sixty-seven, an increase of two hundred and fifteen over the report at the close of 1865. Notwithstanding their expulsion from Naples, Sicily, Venetia, Turin and Mexico, they are con? stantly increasing, and in what is known as the Trench Province their number has grown from two thousand two hundred and sixty-six in 1865 to two thousand four hundred and twenty-three in If (66. * " The latest most interesting event in the prison Jife of SuRRATT was the attempt made to-day by a juan to obtain admittance to the prisoner, alleging that he was his brother, just arrived from Texas* where he had been living for the past ten or twelve years. He did not prove his relationship, however, to the satisfaction of the guards, and admission -was denied. Miss SUBRATT does everything in her power for the comfort of her unhappy brother and is humanely permitted to give bim a few things not contained in the jail bill of fare. The effect of his sister's devoted attentions and presence are visible fa tito yoong man's improved condition.

CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 2,1867. THEJKJNGDOM OP CANADA. Some of our Northern exchanges are much per? turbed in spirit at haying the semblance of royalty thrust so closely into , their vicinage. Whether I they are afraid of annexation, or apprehensive that in this pew accession of dignity the colonial Lion should "mako mouths" (see lato Georgo I town, D. C., police regulations, where t?making mouths" at colored votors is put down as a serious offence) at Uncle Sam's Bird of Liberty, wo have not yet been able positively to learn. A bill has I een introduced into the British Par 1 iiament to.unite the several British Provinces in ( North America, the confederation to be called .the Kingdom of Canada," and the federal legisla? ture to be known as the Parliament of Canada, with I a "Senate" and a House of Commons. A demo? cratic senate mus't answer, until lords and peers can be created for the purpose. A royal represen? tative is to proside over the new kingdom. His title is to be Governor-General, and he is to have provincial Lieutenant Governors under him. Our Northern friends would fain fiud fault with this scheme, yet know not exactly how it can be shown that the affair is any business of theirs. The "Monroe Doctrine,".so convenient on former occa? sions, will hardly prove adequate to tbe emergency even upon very considerable stretching. In the case of the French intervention of Mexico, and the establishment of MAXTMTXJAN'S Empire, the afore-i ' homed Monroe Doctrine was made to do yeoman's service. The Kingdom of Canada is even more distasteful to our Down-East brethren than was the Empire of Mexico,.but how is tho "interpella? tion" to bo managed ? Why, on the pretence that the scheme is hostile to a large portion of the resi? dents of British America: Lower Canada, says the New York Herald, has pronounced against it in un? mistakable terms. Nova Scotia and the other island provinces do not favor the idea at a 1. Newfound? land. Rupert's Island, Prince Edward Island,. British Columbia, and the vaet Northwest Territory, are not to be included in tho confederation at pres? ent, but provision is made for them to come in at a I future time, subject to tho terms which the Par- j Iiament of the now kingdom may propose. THE INSURRECTION IN BELGIUM. Wars and rumors of wara everywhere. Tumults, insurrections, rebellions, revolutions, in what? soever direction we turn our ej'e. Even Belgium, naturally c u c of the most quie t and peaceable coun? tries in Europe, as it is one of the most insignifi? cant, has its insurrection. Tbe miners of the coal districts are in revolt Troops have been sent to "quiet" them; but it is said, although much blood has been shed in the attempt, the effort has not yet been successful. The Belgian papers maintain an ominous silence. Column after column is filled with French politics, but not a word about the in? surrection at home. So in the Chambers now in session at Brussels. The ministry is "interpel? lated" about the cattle plague, and long and spirit? ed debates are held on that very interesting sub ? ject; but thorough silence reigns in ? the Parlia? ment, as also on the part of the ministry, in so far as relates to the said internal broil. A letter in the London Evening Standard, of the 8th ultimo, written at Mons, contains some reflections on this subject, decidedly unfavorable to the Government of Belgium. As far as we can infer, tho difficulty seems to be a kind of "strike." Wherever troops are massed, all is quiet-the streets are deserted, and not a voice is heard. But the laborers indem? nify themselves in tho districts remote from those occupied by the military. The whole valley of the Sambre and Meuse is one scene of agitation; and if these men are not promptly brought back (says this correspondent) to their work, hunger will make these ignorant and hungry masses very dan? gerous. . The French papers say that there is a rapidly growing party all over Belgium in favor of annex? ation to France. Coming events cast their shadows before. LIBERTY. Apropos of WASHINGTON'S Birthday, and the re? flections naturally suggested on the occasion, in view of the present state of public affairs in Amer? ica, the Round Table has tho following paragraph: The liberty which means the tyranny of the many, the oppression of intelligence by ignorance, the shackling of trade for tbe aggrandizement of corruptionie ts, the imposition of taxes a hundred? fold more onerous than those which cost England her colonies, the elevation of boors, blacklegs and I ja?-birds. to Congress, the robbing of tho public treasuries by organized bands of plunderers, thc abasement of literature, and the prostitution of I the press to the level of the vulgar rabble, and the ' wholesale degradation of society through the poi- I sonous influences of riches gamed by crime, was not tho liberty that Washington and his associates fought and died for, and not the liberty which, if they now survey it, their hobie spirits can approve. Such liberty as this may not be, as Algernon Sid? ney said men's liberties should not be, derived "from kings;" but assuredly it is not, as he said it should be, "from God or nature." ELECTIONS in three States are now at hand. New Hampsliire leads off on the second Tuesday in March. A Governor, three Congressmen, a Ra? rood Commissioner, members of both Houses of the Legislature, and some county officers, are to be chosen. WALTER HARROMAN is the Republican, and JOHN G. SINCLAIR the Democratic candidate for Governor. The vote last year was as follows: Republican.30,137 Democratic.25,481 Republican majority.... 4056 Connecticut will hold its election on the first Monday in April. The Republicans have nomina? ted Gen. JOSEPH E. HAWLEY, the present incum? bent, for Governor. Tho Democratic nominee for the same office is JAMES E. ENGLISH, formerly a member of Congress, when he was a War Demo? crat. The vote stood last year : Republican.43,974 Democratic. .43,433 Republican majority. 541 Rhode Island will hold its election on the first 1 Wednesday in April. The Republicans have j nominated Gen. BURNSIDE for Governor. The vote last year for Governor was 11,178, Gen. BURNSIDE having no opponent. THE NEW CONGRESS.-When it assembles on tho fourth of March (Monday next), the now Congress will be without members from Connecticut, Califor? nia, Kentucky, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Tennessee. The present Congress has one hun? dred and eighty-four members ; twenty-nine of these seats in the now Congress will be vacant on the fourth of March, by reason of the States above named not yet having held their elections. Of couise the Southern States will, as now, bo un? represented. It is supposed that after a session of a week or two, an adjournment will take place un? til tho middle of May, by which time elections will have been held in Connecticut, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. NEWSPAPERS IN CONSTANTINOPLE.-A missionary of tho American Board in Constantinople writes "The increase in tho number of newspapers pub? lished here, and in ono or two other principal cities of Turkey, and the increase of tho number ol' per? sons who read them, tire among tho most notice? able signs of tho times. In this city, fivo or >vcn two years ago, it was a rare occurrence to BOO a newspaper :*n tho hands uf any ono of the thou? sands of natives pafising up and down the Tlospho rus or Golden Hora in the steamers which hore take the place of tho street cars of Boston and Now York. Now it is almost as common a sight as in thoso cars. N robeys throng our thorough? fares with their papers-in Turkish, French, in Greek, in Armenian, kc. We have at least ton daily papers published at Constantinople. Their standard of journalism is not very high, and yot they nerve to stir and direct the thoughts of men. Their influence upon public opinion is quite as decided as in England and America." THE Oxford (Miss.) Falcon says: "Wo are in? formed that in consequences of tho high charges for board, a number of tho students at our Uni? versity have formed messes and purchased pro? visions, and cook for themselves. The most of them have been soldiers, and doubtless understand the matter well." WANTS.

JOHN BUNYAN AND LEIGH HUNT ; the Tinker-poet and the Poet-tinker: or how "Pilgrim" ls esteemed in Vanity Fair. " What great poet ever wrote his poem in prose ? or, where is there a good prose poem to be found ? The Pilgrim's Pi ogress Indeed has been called one, and undoubtedly Bunyan had a genius that tended to make bim a poet and one of no mean order, and yet it was of as ungenerous and low a sort as was compatible with so lofty an affinity, and this was tho reason why it stood where it did. He had a craving ofter beauty, but not enongh of it in himself to echo to its music." [Leigh Hunt's "Imagination and Fancy." " The author of Telemachus had a sense of the beau ti? mi, but was prevented by the 'cold and feeble spirit of devotion' from giving it expression. He (Fenelon) was not one who. if he had had a whfe and children, would have run away from (hem os Bunyan's hero, did to get a place by himself In Heaven."-ibid. ABSTRACT OF LECTURE. (l.) Defence of the hero of the Pilgrim's Progress. ( :.) The Pilgrim's Progress as a prase poem. (3.) Bunyan's conception of the heroic character com j pared with that of Homer. (4.) The Pilgrim's Progress os an allegory. Bunyan compared with Spenser ; contrasted with Milton ; his affinities with Shakspeare. (5.) Bunyan as ?writer of the English language. His book the only instance of written speech. His doggrel verses not inconsistent with his poetic endowments. His want of learning no misfortune to the literary world. (6.) Bungan as mon and Christian, the hero of his own aUegory ; of wham, like Cowper and Coleridge, " we ask to be forgiven foi- praise." March 1 FOR SALE.
