MoirrocKEBT, ALA., September 24.-The Legislature will take no action relative to an election until the return of the committee sent to Washington for troops. The memorial taken on states, among other things, that there is no respect for the laws, and that civil officers are prevented from exercising their duties by threats from the people. A large meeting was held last night to take action on tbe memorial, and resolutions were adopted stating that the Governor or no other officer of the State has found it necessary to call for assistance in executing thc laws, and no proclamation has ' been issued stating that fact. The Democrat-1 * ic State Convention passed resolutions to obey the laws as good citizens, which has been done, 11 and the people o? the State were never more | ' peaceably disposed than at present, and the memorial was prompted by a party spirit. Knowing these tacts, the people protested against the introduction of troops, and endorse the reply of Gen. Lee to Gen. Rosecrans. The members of the Legislature who drew np the memorial are strangers, who do not represent the people. A copy of the preamble and eight resolutions were sent to the President. Condensed Sews by Tcic graph. Lieut. Beecher, killed by the Indians, is the son of Henry Ward Beecher.

At last accocnts tho party had but Bixty-five rounds of ammunition, and were fortifying. They had been compelled to eat their horses. Troops were moving to their rescue. FROM THE STATE CAPITAL. THE MILITIA BILL STRANGLED-RESIGNATION OF WHTTTEMORE-APPROVAL OF ACTS-THE AD? JOURNMENT POSTPONED US TTL SATURDAY. S . - [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DAILY NEWS.] COLUMBIA, 8. C., September 3i -Ls THE SENATE to-day the-resignation of Whitemore was accepted. The Becoad reading of the Militia bill was objected to to-day, which prevents its passage at'thia session. The till authorizing the Governor to release penitentiary convicts was laid upon the table. The bill for the relief of the transient poor was passed to its third reading, with un amendment reducing the appropriation to fif? teen thousand dollars. The committee had a free conference on the Codification bill, but failed to agree. The Governor has signed the following acts: An act for the temporary appointment of magis? trates; an act to provide for the payment of per diem; an act making an additional appro? priation for the expenses of legislators; an act to provide for the temporary vacancy in the of? fice of Governor; an act repealing the charter of Hamburg; an act repealing an act prohibiting the digging of cellars. IN TEX HOUSE several bills had their second and third readings; none were of special inter? est except the Jury bill, which makes no alter? ation in the present practice. The adjournment wah postponed until Satur? day at twelve M. DISCUSSING THE MOVE TO CHARLESTON-AN EX? CITED SHOPKEEP ?3-THE NEW JUDGE AND THE BLACK ATTORNEYS-A FINANCIAL WILL-O' THE WISP-THE DUSKY LEG IB LATO RS AND THE BELLS RECEIVABLE. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, 8. C., September 23.-The lower House, which sits upstairs in Janney's Hall, wasted three mortal hours this morning, in discussing the question, whether or no they should crncur in the Senate resolut>n to give the GoTernor^pnwer to call the regular session in Charleston. They finally refused to concur by a v ?ry close vote, forty-three to forty-one. The discussion was very minteresting, but the htssotooy of calling the ayes and noes, which process was gone through several t ?mee, was amusingly varied by the conduct and com? mente of a little Columbia shopkeeper, who was very much worried by the idea of the Legislature meeting in Charleston instead of Columbia. He was standing near the re? porters' table, and it was quite laughable to watch his restlessness, and the changes of his countenance as his spirits rose and fell with the state o i the -vote. When a vote was given favoring a move to Charleston, he would ex? claim, "Ob, mein Gott, vot a fool!" and when one against the move was Riveo, he would say, "Dat ish right, dat ish right." When the final vote was announced, he grinned from ear to CAT, and departed hilarious. The election of W. M. Thomas, of Green? ville, to be Circuit Judge of the Sixth District, was a move of desperation on the part of the Legislature. The office was going begging. Nobody wanted it. One judge had already been elected and declined to Borve. As far as I can learn, this Thomas ie; a low fellow, of whom his family feel very much ashamed. He was a commissioner of equity m Greenville during the war; has all the little dirty cases tbat can be picked up at that bar. His talents are summed up by one who ought to know as vox etpreterea, nihil, and he has been a Radical for a short time. The Republicans did not want him, and those who knew him beat wanted him least; but there was no ohoice, so he was nominated by the Republican canons, after a hard fight. Even then it took two bal? lots of the Legislature to elect him. The D?ni? era ta voted for Moore, and the disgust 3d Re? publicans scattered their votes around loosely, some of them falling on men who are dread? fully annoyed at this mark of attention. Lang? ston, the colored Demosthenes, wt o spouted for the darkies here a few ni j hts since, received five votes. Langston has moro white blood in his veins than black, and i i a man of acknowledged parts. He is Superintendent of Education in the Freedmen's Bureau, i^d has been admitted to practice in the United States Supreme Court. The admission of three negroes to-day to the bar of South Carolina is on event charac? teristic of the times. The Supreme Court which admitted them was composed of two Associate Justices, neither of whom has ever been admitted to the bar of this State, and neither of whom, without further study, could be admitted on an examination before the legit? imate Supremo Court. One of these Judges, so-called, is from New York; the other from Ohio-neither is a citizen"of this State, except under the negro-carpet-bag constitution. So much for the Judges who admitted them. The Attorney-General who examined them was him? self admitted to the bar to-day on motion, he having previously been a member of the Mas? sachusetts bar. As for the negroes themselves, I have only their own account. According to this veracious authority, J. J. Wright, senator rrom Beaufort, bas already been admitted to the bar of Pennsylvania, and has an album irith extracts from three hundred different newspapers, referring to his admission, which ?cited much attention at the time. I suppose tie must have satisfied the Court of the truth )f this statement, as he was admitted on mo ion without examination. R. B. Elliott, re? presentative from Barnwell, says that be at? tended the Massachusetts Law School for two pears, then entered the volunteer service. At the close of the war he went back to Massa? chusetts and read law nine mouths, and at the and of three more would have been admitted to tho bar, but came down South and was thus prevented from being admitted. W. J. Whip? per, representative from Beaufort, was before the war in a lawyer's office in Detroit, Michi? gan, out whether as office boy, clerk or stu? dent I do not now recollect. When he com? menced practice in the Provost Courts of this State after the war, he was very green, but he has improved greatly, and gets along tolerably well as chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the House. All these men aie full blooded ne? groes, with black skins, thick lips and woolly headB, and yet, in justice to them, I must say that I believe they are aa good lawyers as at least one of the judges who admitted them; and certainly any one of them can make a bet? ter speech than either of the judges. Somehow or other tbe money held out to the Legislature by the Cbalbam Railroad Beoms to have been in a great measure a delu? sion and a snare. Week after week it was ex? pected in vain, and now that it is at last olutohed in the grasp of the treasurer, it turns out that there is not enough of it to pay up in full even to ihe 31st August. The disappointed members will be fain to take the balance of their wages in bills receivable at current rates of discount. What that rate will be matters little to them; for if bills receivable sell for one hundred for one they will still draw enough to realize their pay. The current rate at pre sent ie seventy-five cents on tho dollar, and their expectation is to draw them at that price, keep them a few weeks, and sell them at ninety cents. This pleasant expectation is based on the idea that the Governor will shortly suc? ceed in negotiating the five hundred thousand dollar loan authorized to redsem the bills re? ceivable, or at least one hundred thousand dollars of tho loan. I am pleased to Bay, how? ever, that this is likely to prove another finan? cial mirage. I had the pleasure of meeting here, a day or two ago, Col.-, of Darlington, formerly au officer in the Confederate service, and now, as always, an influential man in his dis? trict. He had been to Lexington, Va., to put bis eon at WaaliiuRton College, over which Gen. Lee presides. He described the General as in excellent health, and tae handsomest man he ever saw. The people worship him, and even the Federal soldiers treat him with the greatest respect. The Colonel saw no place in Virginia with sufficient inducements to tempt him to emigrate, and he says that this hotel (Nickerson's) is the best, by long odds, ho has seen in one thousand six hun? dred miles of travel-better fare, better accom? modations, better attendance, and more rea? sonable charges. POLITICAL. THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS -ANXLETT ABOUT THEM -TBE FACIS AND THE FIGURES FOB SPECULAT? IVE POLITICIAN'S. The next great State elections are those of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa, which take place on the 18th of October. Nebraska baa h er's a week earlier-October Otb. Ohio is claimed for the Republican candidates by a large majority, bat a stron? effort is being made by the Democrats to hold the State, and they are hopeful of carrying it for Seymour and Blair. Pennsylvania, too, is claimed by both parties, and both are exerting themselves to the utmost, for, as usual, tho Keystone State will have an important influence in deter? mining who shall b3 the next President. Th e Republicans' confidence of success in that State is based upon the results of the October elec? tions in 1806 and 1867, the figures of which stood as follows : 1866-Republican vote for Governor, 307,274; Democratic vote, 290,006; total vote cast, 597, - 870; Republican majority, 17,178. 1867-Re? publican vote. Supreme Judge, 266,824; Demo? cratic vote, 267,746, total vote cast, 534,572 Democratic majority, 920. The Republicans say if there had been a full vote cast in 1867 this result might have been regarded as a decided political reaction in favor of the Democracy, but tb it tho aggre? gate vote of the two years, when placed aide by side, show that nearly 63,000 more votes were polled in 1666 than in 1867. Tho Demo? cratic vote cast in 1867 was 22.000 leas than the same party cast in 1866, and the Republican vote was 40,000 less. If these 40,000 Republi? cans vote in Ootober the name a? they did in 1866, and the 22,000 Democrats vote the Demo? cratic ticket, there will be a Republican major? ity of 20,000; but the Democrats claim to have made gains since 1866, which will more than overcome this majority. In Indiana the canvass ia being conducted by both parties with great energy, but if the Democrats carry that State in October it must be by a reaction in their favor as the State has been consistently Republican since 1861. The following wore the majorities : 1861, for Lin? coln, majority 5813; 1864, for Governor Mor ton, majority 20,883; 1864 for Lincoln, majority 20,189; 1866, for Secretary of State, Fowler, majority 14,202. There was no election in 1867. HOW GEORGIA WAS SNUBBED AT WASHINGTON A BRACE OF DISAPPOINTED SENATORS. A Washington letter of Tuosday, lo the Bal? timore Gazette, says : The most disappointed of all tho distinguish? ed gentlemen who appoure 1 at thu National Capital yesterday were tiic Gjorgia senators, Messrs. Hill aud Mil or. These gentlemen had confident1 Y anticipated making their debut on a senatorial theatre, and "drawing" lots ol pay for services never rendered. Nevertheless, they experienced the truth of the old adage, "there's many a slip between tho cup and the lip," und were politely left out m tho cold. It is barely nosaible that Mr. Hill would have been admitted to a soat if his colleague, Mr. Miller, had not also been in attendance; but au at? tempt to have tho latter sworn in would have resulted in suspending the credentials of both. There was also a strong opposition to Georgia being allowed any representation in Congress, growing out of tho action ol her Legislature in unseating the colored mem? bers. Several of the Radical senators, who favor Congress taking the whole Huject into their own hands, deny that these senators were constitutionally elected if the negro mem? bers of the Legislature were not oligible to office. If eligible, then they charge that Geor? gia has violated the Reconstruction acts and the terms on which she was admitted as a State. Mr. Hill urged that the senators from Georgia shouid be admitted, that there might be parties properly interested in having a thorough investigation made. If any irregu? larity had occurred involving the position of Georgia as one of the States of (he Union. Mr. Hill claimed that it was due Georgia to have at leaat one representative on tho door, to see that tho subject was fully and fairly investi? gated. Bul bis appeals were m vain, and re? constructed Goorgia found tho Senatorial doors still closed against' her, and her senators leave this evening for then; Southern homes. -A curious "tell-tale" apparatus is in use at a factory in Mulhouse, France. Thor e are four eight watchmen on these premises, and they have to make ten visits to ninety-three stations, in all nine hundred and thirty visits. On commencing his rounds a card is delivered to each watchman, which he carries about with him. At every station be has to visit is a frame the size of the card, at which, at a given time, a stamp presents itself and impresses a stamp upon the card. The marks are so ar? ranged that when the whole aro printed they form one complete design. Any delay or omission on the part of the watchman leaves a blank space on the card which tells the hour the mau failed in his duty. When going off duty the men push their carda into a kind of letter box, and as this is done the exact time at which they are delivered ia printed. All thiii contrivance is completely beyond the men's control, and there is no possibility of tampering with the mechanism. No descrip? tion of the apparatus would be intelligible with? out the drawings which accompany it. THE JURS. EATON SCANDAL. SOME BEMTN1PCENCE8 OF F0BEIGN ADVENT DBEB8 IN WASHINGTON. [Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial.] WASHINGTON, September 19.-The arrest of Buchignani (pronounced Buchynanny) iii New York has revived old and new scandals of Mrs. Eaton, the Pompadour of American politics. This lady WAS tbe romping daughter of a Washington tavern keeper, and ono of tbe at? tractions of the hotel; the latter stood near the site of the present Willard's, on Pennsylvania avenue. There one Timberlake, an officer of the United States naval service, married Mrs. Eaton, while ashore, and passed away Uko Enoch Arden, after having maltreated his wife till it bad become town talk. MBS. EATON THAT WAS. The lively young crass window continued to be the attraction of the hostelry. Among its fruests was old General Eaton, who seems to have been nearly as old a's the Prophet Jere? miah. He is said to have coquetted with the lady quite up to the murk of legal blandish? ments, and m order to make things more satis? factory, he finally married her. Hale old Janu? ary and ripe yoong May prospered well; young Eatons came apace; the General was made Secrotary of War by Andrew Jackson, and Mrs. Eaton became the perennial scandal of the time. At Ibis distance it is neither just nor safe to recapit?late the precious quarrels at court, arising out of Polly Timberlake coming to power. Three positions were taken by the high-contracting gossippers of that day : .; First and worst, that Andrew Jackson, wid? ower, was very fond of Eaton, that General Barkis Eaton was "williPi" and that the lady, like another Helen, took another Troy. This story, so coarsely circumstantial, was as pa? tent in those day? as the recent gossip about Th tddeus Stevens' housekeeper, or Mrs. Cobb, the friend of Mr. Johnson. Calhoun and the Federalists at large printed it, said it in speeches, and electioneered upon lt. Next position, that the wbmen of Washing? ton, among them Jackson's daughter-in-law, were jealous of Mrs. Eaton, and started the slander upon her. That she had compelled her noodle of a husband to complain to Jack? son, who insisted noon every Democratic of? ficeholder's wife visiting Mrs. Eaton on penalty of dismissal. And last, in the precise words of Jackson himself, "Mrs. Eaton is as virtuous as my son's baby. My God, gentlemen, she is the purest woman m the world. Great God 1 what is this I hear anon the sweetest of her sex? Bring me my duelling pistols, Van (to Van Ba? ren)! Great God 1 I will walk down the ave? nue and murder those assassins of reputation I" All this and more is to be found in the Con? gressional Library, in pamphlets, newspapers, farces, what not. The social condition of Washington, over this woman, looks at this retrospection like a chapter out of Louis XV. Street fights between Cabinet o Qi j ors, chal? lenges, a reign of terror happened. Gen. Eaton ate gunpowder. Mrs. Eaton kept np ber head like Zenobia, or, rather, a sort of female Cassa bianca, heroic upon the burning deck. Van Buren, to please Jackson and be next Presi? dent, got all the foreign ministers to recognize Mrs. Eaton, and introduce ber into their fami? lies. Old Hickory gave great dinners, and es? corted her in himself, bat scarcely one Ameri? can woman would speak to his fair protege, deliberately turtling theo- backs upon her. The small fry of office-seekers sent their wives to call on Mrs. EatoB, and received office tor their SIT vilif y. She dressed richest, stepped high? est, smiled the superbest. Becky Sharp and Agnes Sorel seemed to have found a vindica? tor. If half of this drama were to occur at this prim time in which we live, Mrs. Lincoln's wardrobe and John Allen's wickedness would not bo worth a police item's space in a news? paper. The cable would cop-roy to Europo UM latest pnise of the Eaton imbroglio, and the press m general be "Eaton's Will Gazettes," indeed. At lost the whole Cabinet of Mr. Jackson were removed by their permission, to let Mrs. Eaton up grandly. Van Buren, who, on the occasion, seems to have been almost a macke rfan, resigned first. General Eaton was sent to Madrid, and there his lady accompanied him. As wife of the ambassador, the dearer by her pers?cutions, Mrs. Eaton throve well in Madrid. She travelled much, enj iyed much, for Europe in tae South is not the land of the Puritan, and to have been scandalized was not there to be crushed. At lost the old Gene ral died and left his widow the whole of a fine for? tune. As the Fosean came back to Venice, his birthplace, thongh to be tortured there, Mrs. Eaton returned to the city of her girlhood and injury, and passed into silence, accepting social ostracism, but not discontented. MES. BUCHIGNANI THAT IS. A long time must elapso; the old race of folks died out. Old Amos Kondall is left of all Jack? son's Cabinet officers, and he has turned Bap? tist in his old age, built an eighty thousand dollar church, and passed his bleached locks under the water fount. But the strange, old lady lives on. showing all her three-score and ten years. Her honse on I street, near Twen? tieth, has grandchildren in it. Another grand? child, a Randolph, was an officer in tho war. The great world lets Mrs. Eaton alone ; she was a Unionist in her retired way, and mean? time, she is married for tho third time. An Italian, handsome, young, dark, well-man? nered, not thirty years old, bas courted this old woman of nearly thrice his aire. He was a dancing master, who drifted here with a fiddle bow in his ' hand, and during almost all the war he kept a library in the capitol, on the House sido, which position his wife obtained for him. He played cards with other young men, had a good birth of it, and a grandmother in the berth. Folks who visited the house at that time, speak of thc romai kable fondness of tue old lady for ber young husband. She had thoir portraits- painted together, ga vd him mou ey in plenty and tenderness in excess, and was her? self fully satisfied. But your truo adventurer can never be caged. He filled that houso with skeletons. Before he loft the city with Mrs. Eaton's grandchild he boasted arouud town of his intimacy with her. He was a common pil? ferer, an extortioner-tried to got what tee French e ll the "bottom dollar" from Mrs. Eaton, and. failing when half way down, he crowned what had long been a socret villany by carrying off the grandchild as his open mis? tress. She is about seventeen years old, hand Bomo, and lost. Buchignani has had her to Europe, living himself while there in oth jr de? bauchery, and proving himself a Fra Diavolo. This is a little lifting of tho curtain upon a nook of Washington life. The old Eaton scandal, which burned lightly nearly forty years aeo, has been relighted after all this quiet, and will probably expire in a biaza of sulphur. OTHES ITALIANS TN WASHINGTON. Tho history of Italian and oth?r foreigners who have figurod in this city is a catalogue of most mongrel and often of monstrous biogra? phies. With few exceptions, some tragic epi? sode has marked the lives of most or thom. The construction of public buildings required from tho foundation of the city a class of deco? rators, stonecutters, painters, ic, found chiefly in Italy, and many ot them are working still in the district, some upon the mosaic work of the Capitol, others in the deportments, and they have imported hither their artistic Bohemianisms. I will give you a tow names of foreigners who have figured here eminently -some for good, others for evil. FTESCHI. First , the great Fieschi, Red Republican, who measured the head of Washington and exe? cuted a bust of him. If lam not mistaken, Thomas Jefferson sent him to this country, aa he sent Handon. Fieschi seems never to have recovered from the enthusiasm that was ex? cited in him by passing his palms over tho bumps of tho Father of his Country. He lived down to thc reign ot Louis Philippe, and ho joined the carbonari and manufactured the celebrated infernal machine which he discharg? ed at th'.i King and royal family on thc Boule? vard. He killed several people, wounded him? self, and perished on the guillotine, bravo as Ursini. ZAPPONI. Coming nearer to our time, we find the Sig? nor Zapponi, a teacher of music and languages, who gave a good many amateur ambassadors and consuls their little o tock of French. He beca ne a Catholic priest, backslid, squared his opinions with his life, and turned atheist, and finally, like Buchignani, married avery old woman, at Aler indria for ber money's sake. Unliko Mrs. Eaton, this Did lady, dying in due time, leftZanponi without a cent. He taught the fiddle and tongues again for awhile, and then Studie i medicine in Washington, so that he next appeared asa doctor and a dentist to? gether. Iii this profession he ran away with a Miss Joyce, and married her. He was a grasp? ing lellow, and compelled her to teach a school. Not getting enough money out of her at this vocation, be resolved to make her study medi? cine and be a tender to himself in obstetrical and other cases. To this Mrs. Zapponi de? murred, when the Doctor thrashed ber, and she brought him into court. They were di? vorced; be failed to pay alimony, as ordered, and got into jail, whence, emerging, he disap? peared from the banks of Tiber Creek, and Washington was without an aristocrat. CABUSI. Net to mention Sir Percy Windham, who keeps at present. I believe, a riding-school and livery stable in New York, and who fought on Garibaldi's staff in the Sicilian and Neapolitan campaigns, as well as in our own and half a dozen others; nor Morini, a friend of Buchig nani, who is a dancing master here, let me bring you to the grand old figure of Carusi, the Turveydrop of the American republic, he who taught our infant eagle how to turn ont its toes, and put our benignant Goddess of Lib? erty through the five pedal motions. There is a host of little Carusis here, second and third generations, but it is of the patriarch that I speak. His hall or academy bas stood on the borders of the present Smithsonian In? stitute grounds these forty odd years. He has taught the wiveB of Presidents while they were yet maidans. Many a proud belle, with whom to dance would be to you and I the recollection of a life, old Carusi has taught that intoxicating "ono, two, three," which years of marriage often fail to efface. In all the older, in ail the better families he has been the entire nine muses, playing his violin, shuffling his feet, scolding, encouraging, pre? facing for society. The stout, puffy, white haired old man stands at many a bridal rout, telling the fiddler when to begin, and, as thc newly made bride steps out in the first quad? rille, Carusi ciuckles: "She has been in my arms, also, manya time/' To this city Carusi has been an ornament and an honor almost since its foundation. He has held in his arms almost every prominent national person, man and woman, between the administrations of Monroe and Lincoln. COUNT BO jlflCO. Not unfrequently a Washington girl makes a good match, in a pecuniary sense, with some one of the many foreigners who live here. The best exemplification of this is found in the case of a little Miss Williams, whose mother kept a boarding-house in George? town. Little Miss Williams, tripping along to school m a short dress, with her books under her arm, unconsciously attracted the atten? tion of old Count Bodisco. the Russian minis? ter, rich as Croesus, amply ugl -., quite along m life. From admiration to passion was an easy stage. Then came the offer of marriage, and ambition consented. She made the old man an excellent wife, gave bis sturdy old age many children, and inherited the bulk of his FosBessions. The widowed Countess is now, believe, in St. Petersburg, several of her children and grand-children reside or visit at Georgetown still; the memory of the alliance is a pleasant one, and the Bodisco residence in Georgetown, now the property of Henry D. Cooke, is nearly as reverend as the family monument in Oak Hill Cemetery. Bodisco used to fire up a steamer on Sundays, and steam beyond State jurisdiction, that trannie ht indulge in his favorite games of cards with? out interference. , He played for gold pieces, and relished it like any Russian. . These are among the very many foreigners whose careors here occur to me at this hasty writing. THE WEALTH OF THE SOUTH. AN ENGLISHMAN'S VTEW OF O?B BESOUBCES THE NEED UF IMMIGRATION. Thc English papers bring us a report of an address doliverod at Loton, England, on the 28th of AuguBt, by Mr. John Everitt, of Lon? don, upon the resources of the Southern States of America and the character of their Deople. The following extracts will be read with in? terest : This Southern country was waiting for hu? man labor. The sod was rich to repletion, and there was in it everything that could pos? sibly contribute to the requirements of the most polished and most refined civilization. It was a land, BO to 6peak, flowing with milk and honey. It had broad rivers and streams; it had glorious valleys; it had lofty mountains; it had everything inviting to humanity. It was a country which wanted the simplest require? ments of labor; and in that country no man need starve. The soil of tba Southern States was remark? ably prolific. There were all sorts of soils. The great bulk of the soil he ti a veiled over was of the garden mould sort, a dark mould from a depth of two feet to fourteen feet. He had Been black mould fourteen feet deep, and this not over a garden, not over a parish, but extending over hundreds and thousands of acres, lying yonder on the Mississippi, called the Mississip? pi prairie land, land that would bear any? thing-cotton, corn, fruiti, in fact they could not mention anything within the range'of cul? ture that might not be grown to any extent without manure. The only thing there was to keep down the weeds; tho groat trouble was to get rid of the weeda. What would they say when he told them that that land had been bought-he believed he had bought some of it-at five dollars per acre, which was about 17a. Gd. in our money. As to resources the Southern States had everything in minerals. Thoy had coru, wine, oil, cotton, tobacco, and everything man could want in the greatest abundance. Ile had seen mountains of iron oro, groat lumps, which looked as if they had boen run in crystals. Again, hore were towering mountains of coal, coal seen under water, coal in the greatest abundance and of a good quality too. The re eourcoa of that Southern couulry in minerals were greater than in any country they could mention. Would they believe him? There had never been more than two millions of laborers in tho Southern States. Ho had soarched the records from ibu Mina ssippi River to Washington. Ho had spent boura and hours in tho middle of the night searclnug for facts, and there never had been two millions of paid laborers in the thir? teen States-in a country thirteen times the size of England. Thoy would think that two millions ol laborers would do very little. What was the result? These thirteen States bad ex? ported, dollar for dollar, more in amount than the Northern States with their teeming mil? lions-more than Russia, moro than Prussia, more than Austria, more than Germany, more than France, and, leaving out the manufac? tures of this country, more than England. These two millions of laborers had exported moro dollars' worth than any country on the face of the globe, and they might include man? ufactures of any other country oxcept England. In fact they might put two or three of those countries together, and then the South would beat them. What did this prove? That with this small number of laborers, labor was want? ed and waa well paid. There was a wonderful field in which humanity might go to enjoy its own industry. The South was a glorious land, full of plenty. The probable future of the South? What a landscape! What a panorama 1 How it stretch? ed out over hundreds and thousands and mil? lion.-; of acres of land to be covered with a teem? ing population. When he thought of the glo? rious views he bad had there, and then thought that that vast country was io be poo Eled by large populations, by busy pushing ives or men, when he remembered that this beaniiful rich soil was to be cultivated, he tclt thawlanguage was utterly weak and insignifi? cant. He saw there a country capable of talc? ing within its arms almost the entire human race; what a future waa that country to have? Waa there any man who could presume to guess ? The i.naginption fails, and the might? iest wing of thought tires and becomes weary, and we are glad to get away from the theme. It woulu be a garden laden with tho richest of human needs, a country full to the overflowing with all tho requirements of human necessities. It was to be a country gloriously great and gloriously free, and how few years wou.d it re? quire to effect the change 1 He should like to see colonies of fifty to one hundred families go out there and settle in those splendid lands, not go out solitary like a marked crow, but in colonies. . And it was no use to send men who were not adapted. He saw many people go to the States who had much better atay at home. He knew of young men trained behind the counter, a very honor? able colling-be was trained there himself-fro out to farming. Now farming was a pretty tight job for any of them, and the English farmer wanted a great deal more knowledge before he could battle with the elements as well aB he anticipattd he would. But those young men knew nothing of farming. They wanted men who understood land and could cultivate it; with a little money, not much. A man with ?200 there could do as much as a man here with ?2000. The mischief was that the wrong men went to the wrong place. Every nation grew its own shopkeepers fast enough, and its professional mes, its lawyers and its doctors. What a young country wanted wis sinew with a little brain to guide it, pluck, tenacity, stick? ing to things and determination to go through, not for a mau to lay down in the face of a difficulty and lot the wheel go over him. A man who would climb in this country had dif? ficulty to meet; he would have a' fall now and then. The thing America wanted was not the sloughings of this country, bnt the cut? tings of this country. A gardener would never think of planting the weeds that grow up at the bottom of the rose bush, but be would set that which might be grafted into another tree. A young man who bad been constantly pinned to "his mother's apron string should not go to America. A man who had got no resources in himself should not go to America. There was nobody there to pick yon np if you fell down. It mus, be right beatty manhood to go to America. And if a man went there with a little money, suitably provided, ho would get on well. Australia was a beautiful country. Kew Zealand was a beautiful land, but toole at the distance! The Nova Scotia came over from America'in eight days and five hours, the very ship he would sail in next Saturday. And tho officer told him if they had a gale in their favor, be believed they could do it under a week. America now was not so far off as Edinburgh used to be. People used to make their wills before the" went to York. Nine or ten days from next Saturday be should be in New York, and in a few more days on the banks ot the Mississippi; and on the 6th of Novem? ber he should be back again. The distance had got so reduced to measure and time that to cross tho Atlantic gave him little more thought that he would take if he had to step into the train to-night for York. A carpet bag, a bair brush, and two or three things were ali he wanted to go to New York. [Laughter.] MOOD.-Departed this life, in Williamsburg Dis? trict, S.

Look st the countenance o tho man or woman who makes this reply, and you will generally find that the eyes are dull and lustre loss, the complexion sallow, the cheeks flaccid, and the whole expression of tbe face dejected.

GESTION.-"Weakness of the sto-naoh" is thc source of more evils than were contained in Pando? ra's box. Debility, headache, norvous tremors, pal? pitation of the heart, and local pains innumerable, are Hs direct consequences. It obscures the intel? lect and gives birth to the most absurd and incohe? rent fancies; incapacitates a man for business, and renders persistent exertion next to impossible. Yet, strange to say, indigestion ls the most neglected of all ailments. And this is the more extraordinary from the fact that an absolute, infallible specific for the disorder can be obtained in every city, town and village of tho United States. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS takes as wide a range as the malady which it cures. It per? vades every civilized portion of the Western hemis? phere, an t its celebrity as a tonic and alterative is everywhere established. It ls duo to the common sense of the American public to say that the de? mand for it is immense, and continually on the in? crease; but still thousands continue to suffer from dyspepsia, with the greit fact staring them in the face that a remedy for it exists, aa it were, within arm's length of every sufferer. Such is the incon? sistency of human nature. Day by day, however, the number of thoso who manifest this insane indif? ference to their own health and comfort diminishes; and tho tune will come, it is confidently believed, when thc disease will be expelled rrom the category of prevalent disorders by this incomparable altera tive and restorative. 6_September 19 SS" A YOUNG LADx RET?J^ING IO her country home, alter a sojourn of a lew months In the city, wag hardly recognized by her friends, in place ol a coarse, rustic, flushed face, she had a so:l ruby con plexion of almost marble smooth? ness, and instead twenty-three she really appeared but eighteen.
