TION FOR FUGITIVE CRIMINALS.-Some time since, two parties (both colored) were arrested upon affidavits made, charging them with the murder of Mr. Bush, and tho ravishment of Mrs. Bush, residing in South Caroli? na. Gov. Orr, upon the facts being made known through tho proper channel, has taken the necessary le? gal measures for tho delivery of the prisoners to the authorities of South Carolina, and the parties will be tried in Beaufort District, whero tho of? fences were alleged to have been com? mitted. It was one of the most bru? tal and diabolical outrages ever recorded in tho annals of crime. [Savannah Republican. TOOK THE PAPERS.-At the last elec? tion in Baltimore, among tho ques? tions put to the voters vai the fol? lowing: "Did you ever rejoico at a defeat of the Federal army?" An Irishman, to whom tho question was put, rer jd: "Shure an' I tuk tho Baltimo: Clipper, and niver knew they wu1 Aeated. ' ' Political Significance of Worrie. Verbal terms very faithfully indi' ? cati; political transitions. As soon as it became fashionable to call tho ! United States a "nation," the world j was not long in learning that those who used tho language had a stiug ! ing consciousness that the word j "Union" was no longer appropriate. ?The; "lifo of the nation" became a? j favorite expression about the time I I that there was a guilty sense of .a de- ? j stroyed Union, and Congress became j a "grand inquest" when it ceased to confine itself to its legitimate and j constitutional sphere. There is a j wondrous power in words, and their j employment not only denotes pro? gressive changes in the thoughts and? habits of a people, but they aro fre? quently the forerunners of revolu? tionary projects and designa By j fixing popular attention upon this j congregation of States as a "na-1 tion," the public mind was prepared j for those changes which are success- ! ively engulphing all the attributes of a republic, aud buildiug up consoli? dated despotism in its stead. It is safe to affirm that the masses at tho North who constitute the dominant party, know but littlo of history. If they did, they would seo that despotism can be exercised by the many as well as by one. They have au idea that only kings, empe? rors, sultans and czars can be des? pots, and with this cardinal error in their minds, they have sold them? selves, body and soul, to their Con? gress. The time is coming-nay, it is close at hand-when they will be? seech God to commit them to the tender mercy and conscience of an autocrat, so that the hundreds of vultures now tearing them may he exchanged for an eagle. We, of tho South, claim to be a little in advance of our Northern neighbors, of radical persuasion, in political wisdom. We have been thoroughly educated in the school of adversity and suffering, and with all the lights of the past and the warn? ing vigils of the. futura gleaming fear? fully athwart our pata, we would take a czar or emperor to-day, sooner than a Government administered by a Congress in which we are unrepre? sented-a Congress which takes new courage from our helplessness, and becomes more fierce, cruel and bitter, just in proportion as we become more weak. Those of us who are not fools or knaves will readily admit what pre? sent events are inevitably drifting us to. The anarchy, misrule and chaos growing out of many despots, logi? cally and unavoidably drive the peo? ple to seek that security and protec? tion which will be found in the stern will and iron heel of a single master. Those who first broke the dam and let in the waters will be the. first drowned, and come what, may, thc man who shall grasp supreme po wei will naturally commence by weeding out all small rivals and competitors. Does any one suppose that so huge and unwieldy a body as Congress cai long keep or exercise the supreme powers which it is arrogating to it self? Does Congress itself think so' If so, a greater mistake than such 2 supposition was never committed As soon as Congress shall have eon summated its plans of political abso lutism, some mau in or outsido of i will seize and hold all the powe which he may very justly deem hi has as much right to as they have And the facility with which he wi! accomplish his designs will demon strate how easy it is for men to b Cromwells or Napoleons, if they onl; have the nerve and select thc prone time. If any ono believes that we. aro ; false prophet, let him see whethe time does not vindicate us. [ Riclimond Times. DECLINE IN PRICES.-The whole sale prices of the past week in ail th leading markets of the country, say the Charleston Courier, show a con siderable decline. There is a dedin in cotton and cotton fabrics, adeclin I in cattle and provisions, a decline i I sugars, a decline in wool, tallow ! leather, naval stores, metals, bomb i stock, Sec., &c. In the necessaries c i lifo it is inevitable that men in th retail trade must speedily reco'gniz these declensions in price, and giv consumers some of the benefits, j is found that there has been over-prt duction in many things, especially' i manufactures-that is, production bi yond the ability and disposition c the people to consume ut tho big prices asked, and in many cases th protectionists have over-reached then selves. The failure of a market i the South has had its effect, too, o all dry goods, and thus thrift in th section is shown to be a need for tl whole country. It is found, alsi that breadstuff's and provisions ai plentiful in the country, and dealei must realize that they are to be sati tied with less than the exorbitai prices of tho period of war. Ti large stocks held in tho West on bo rowings at high rates of money, ca not bo held much longer, as the rat of interest aro rising in the E? also. -? ?? ? ? A Southern Hospital Associatio 1 for tlie i elief of disabled Confeden: soldiers, has been formed in New ( leans. General Hood is President the association, and General S. Buckner, vice-President. Among t Trustees aro Generals Lee, Beau gard, Johnston and others. A ladi branch association has also bc formed, and a bazaar is to be open at New Orleans for its benefit. Public Benevolence? We take tlie following from the New York World, of the 21st instant : Certain papers persist in obtruding j their advice upon Mr. A. T. Stewart touching tho proper method for him to pursue in laying out tho million dollars or more, which it is said he intends to uso for the purpose of erecting model dwellings for the poor of this city. No doubt Mr. Stewart is very much obliged to his advisers, and will duly weigh all tho sugges? tions they offer, and adopt them if of any value. The article we give this morning from the London Pall Mall Gazette, is, however, of far more prac? tical use to him, as it summarizes in an understandable form the results ! of tho model lodging-houso move- ! mont in London. After all one has j heard and read of thoso English Cn- j terprises, it is somewhat dishearten- j ing to find that barely seven thou- j sand people are benefitted by them, j and of these only a few hundred be- I long to the very poor laboring class, j It is the better sort of artizans who, 1 after all, inhabit these model lodging- ! (louses, and they.nre- not a class who, I under ordinary circumstances, would j live poorly or who need charity. If such aro the meagro results of the enormous sums of money spent in England to provide decent homes for tho poor, it at once becomes a question whether it is an evil that can bo reached by private benevolence, however munificent. Thc stubborn fact remains, as the Pall Mall Gazelle points out, that it pays better to build fever-breeding tenement houses than well-drained and ventilated, whole? some dwellings; and so long as that is tho case, it is simply fighting against human nature and the laws of trade to try and rectify the matter by private enterprise. Thc foulest courts in London pay fifteen and twenty per rent, on tho . investment of money, while, the most profitable of the model lodg'ng-houses do well if they return six per cent. The same is true in this city. Some, tenement house property, and the very worst at that, pays as high as thirty and forty per cent., while tho average return from good houses in good localities is rarely more than ten per cent. FROM MEXICO.-A despatch to thc World, of the 21st instant, says: Maximilian has not sailed, nor is it likely he will sail soon, as the French would not allow him to leave until he signs a formal abdication. A little indiscretion of the com? mander of the Austrian frigate Don dalo has been the cause of this. When Maximilian left Mexico, Gen. Bazaine thought that he came to Orizaba merely on a little excur? sion, as he had gono to Cuernavaca and other places. Day before yesterday, tho com? mander of the Dondalo received at midnight a despatch from Maxi? milian, ordering him to have his fri? gate ready yesterday, at 5 o'clock p. m., at which time Maximilian ex? pected to be here, and wanted to sail afc once. As spon as tho.Austrian commander received this despatch, he called on M. Pey ron, tho French commander, to take leave of him. Ho showed tho despatch he had re? ceived, and asked orders for Trieste. M. Peyron sent at once this informa? tion to Gen. Bazaine, who despatched instructions by telegraph to the French commanders at Orizaba, Cor? dova and Yera Cruz, not to allow Maximilian to escspe, and addressed himself to the Arch-duke, stating that he knew his plan to lly from Mexico, but that he could not be per? mitted to do so, unless he would for? mally abdicate. The reason of this conduct is, that should Maximilian leave without a formal abdication, the position of the French would Vie very difficult and ridiculous, while, if he abdicates in their favor, they will be released from their engagements toward him. It is said that Maxi? milian will be obliged to return to the city of Mexico and submit to Ba* zaine's terms. AN INTERESTING SCRAP OF CONFEDE? RATE HISTORY.-Admiral Semmcs, in reviewing in his paper, the Mobile Gazette, Mr. E. A. Pollard's history of the war, publishes tho following order under which the Confederate fleet in James River was blown up on the night of tho evacuation. It has never before been published: CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA, j EXECUTIVE OFFICE, RICHMOND, VA., April 2, 1865.-Rear Admiral Raphael Semmes, Commanding James River Squadron-SIR: General Lee advises the Government to withdraw from this city, and the officers will leave this evening accordingly. I presume that General Leo has advised you of this, and of his movements, and made suggestions as to the disposition to be made of your squadron. He with I draws upon his lines, towards Dan? ville, this night, and unless otherwise directed by General Lee, upon yon is devolved tho duty of destroying your ships this night, and with ali thc forces under your command, join? ing General Lee. Confer with him, if practicable, beforo destroying thoa. Let your people be rationed, as far as possible for the march, and armed and equipped for duty in thc field. Very respectfully, your obe? dient servant, S. R. MALLORY, Secretary of the Navy. Tho brain of a decapitated person, according to recent investigations of eminent French surgeons, does not die for several minutes after the head is severed from the body, EMANCIPATION.-Herc is thc rcsnlt of emancipation, after thirty years' I trial in Jamaica, as reported by the Colonial Sta.nda.-1: "The fact is there, that we now ; produce just less than one-fifth what ? wo did sixty years ago, and that, too, ? with a largerj present population; j and the true causes are, that tho la- j borers, having been rendered imprac? ticable bymisch ie vous teachings, have j withdrawn from the labor market, ! and that many have sought other \ means of living, and have realized a i sort of savage independence, beyond : ?which, their untutored nature teaches them to wish for nothing; that con- I siderablo numbers have becomo tho- { roughly demoralized, and livo by ? depredation, and that many aro stiil taught to consider thc large. x>roprie- ' tors as their natural enemies, and j will only work for thorn when they ? cannot help themselves.

THE ODD FELLOWS AND TIIE SUF? FERING OF THE SOUTH.-We are au? thorized to state that the members of thc several lodges of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, in Baltimore, will, on the evening of the 4th of De? cember, give a grand fair at Odd Fel? lows' Hall, the purpose of which is to raise funds for the amelioration of the condition of the destitute widows and orphans of the South. One or more concerts for the same purpose will be held nuder the auspices of the order, of the time of holding which tl.o public will be duly notified. In addition to these methods of raising funds, promising so much pleasing entertainment to our citizens, contri? butions of produce and clothing aro solicited from all who feel themselves able to give, to be delivered at the agricultural warehouse cf Messrs. Hamilton ? Gilmore, Odd Fellows' Hall. Arrangements have been made to have all such articles transported South free of charge. TELL US WHAT TO Do.-The New I York Timex, after reading the South? ern papers ou the late elections, de? clares the Southern people sufficient? ly, and indeed marvelously, humble and submissive. We have only one thing more to do, to become all that is wanted-to seek ou ti aud actively assist in executing thc will of the North. That is to say, like well trained oxen,' to run with alaerity under the yoke whenever held up. The Herald, on the other baud, pronounces us, on the same data, sullen and defiant, and as foolish as ever ; and advises us to burry-down ^lpon our knees, and into the dust, | before it is too late. Would it not be well for these two j monitors to get together, and agree | upon their testimony and advice ? j How can wo tell what to do, when j one applauds and encourages, while j the other terrifies us ? A committee of special agents has been appointed to revise the regulations of tho Post Office ?Department in relation to regis i tered letters. It has been determined to use large-sized envelopes, print? ed in brilliant colors, and made so conspicuous from their size and appearance that they cannot be easily concealed or stolen by persons hav? ing charge of thc opening or closing of mail pouches. At present, regis? tered letters do not differ much in appearance from ordinary letters, and can often bo captured by a skillful thief without detection. We should think that this arrangement would afford additional facilities to thieves, discovering to them, as it will at once, tho most valuable letters. A NF.W MATERIAL.-It is said that an artificial ivory is now made in i France from a paste of papier mache and gelatin. Billiard balls formed of this material, though barely a third of the prico of those made from real ivory, are yet so durable and elastic that they can be thrown from the top of the house on to the pavement, or j violently struck with a hammer, with ! out injury. With this same paste, to I which the name of Parisian marble is ! given, among other things, the finest and most complicated mouldings for ceilings can bo made, or capitals of calumns can be constructed in any color so as to resemble the most valu? able marbles. SALE OF THE STATE WORKS.-The real estate of the State Works at this place has been sold, for ten thousand dollars, to Dr. S. S.
