The 'Administration is una? ble to understand why'Mr. Kellogg does not make \m requisition for Federal troops, as it ia claimed he has a perfect right to do, is the .absence o! the Le? gislature, to maintain the peaoe and assist the civil authorities' in administer? ing the laws. It is aaid that he is the f>roper iudpre to determine whether there1 s a condition of , society requiring the j interference: of the army, ana that any aid be might require would be promptly furnished, so far as tbe President is con- ? oefnod. It is not the President's inten lion to take any euergetio notion until this requisition is made by Kellogg, and it it hoped ho will make the demand! without further delay. Ar soon as the requisition is made, the President will issue a proclamation in' the most positive language, admonishing the citizens of Louisiana to peace, deposing the Mj Eudry Government and proclaiming Kel? logg as the lawful Governor, and an? nouncing the intention of the Executive to sustain Kellogg with the wholo mili? tary force of tbo country, if necessary. This proclamation is to be accompanied with an order to send ail available troops to report to General Emery at New Or \ leans. The proclamation will be in suob i language that it will be susceptible of no doubtful meaning, and it will convey, as plain as words can, the determination of the President as above set. forth. Tlje action proposed, it is said, meets the hearty approval of the Attorney-General. Ybeka, May 9.?The expedition to bring the bodies of .Lieut.

Take, for example, melons, squashes, cucum? bers, Lima beans, and sooh other pro? ducts as may be desirablo to start early, and which often fail when planted early, aud apply the rule at the head of this article, and success would bo certain. Fit your ground early; make broad, rieh, flat hills, slightly crowning, to insure drynoss and gniu warmth. Thon plant early in tho season, and ono week later, pat down a few more seeds ia tho hills! with the thumb and fingers; a week later, repeat tho planting, and if tho season be particularly cold aud backward, and the first plantings do not appear, a fourth may bo neoossary. By this method, suc? cess is rendered certain; but little timo is lost, for the later planting will grow so fast as to overtake the first. At the pro? per time, thinning must be done, and tbe crop is then handsomely started on its journey.?Rural Home. ? ? f An American judge onoo intervened in an odd way to prevent a waste of words. He was sitting in chambers, and seeing from the piles of pspers in the lawyers' bands that tho first case was likely to bo hardly contested, ho asked, "Whatisthe amount in qnestion?" "Two dollars," said the plaintiff's oonnsel. "I'll pay it,'' said the judge, handing over the money; "call the next ease." - The Heathen Chinee has bwmplaying of?, epmrt.efcarp practice on the shoe msnTrfaclurers in California, ffte man ^faoltjrere employed them because they wonld work cheaper than their white journeymen, who were discharged to make room lor the imitative Celestial a.

What damages?"?an example of judicial brevity only to be matched by _aron Alderson's address to a convicted pri? soner, who prayed that God]might strike him dead where he stood if he were not innocent. After a moment's silence the judge sternly and coldly said: "Prisoner at the bar, as Prpvidenoe has not inter? posed in behalf of society, tbe sentence of the court is that you be transported for the term of twenty years," A Florida coast letter to the New York San says: "Most of the inhabitants here wear wrecked goods. Even their hats and Bhoea* oome from stranded ships. Their wives and daughters have dresseB and aprons made of wrecked calico, their ?blen are covered with wrecked linen, and their beds ate spread with wrecked muslin. A good wreck will supply an economical family for years. The ship ushore is regarded as legiti? mate prey. The people are honest and passably industrious, but they will go for a wreck like galls for a dead fish." Another Jewish Exodus.?The brutal persecutions which the Jews have suf? fered so long in Boumania will probably result not only in benefits to the Jews, unforeseen by their persecutors, but in a great gain to this country. Several woalthy Jews have secently arrived in New York, as agents of their brethren in Boumania, to select & home in the New World, Where the colonists may enjoy religious freedom. As soon as a home I is Bdoared, from 8.000 to 6,000 Jews will embark for New York. Pension to Widows.?The pension laws as amended by the last Congress will, .give; increased pension to widows having one child. The amount of in? crease is 82 per month, and has not been allowed heretofore exoept where there was more than one child. Many claims are now being filed under the new law, and the question to be decided is whether the increase is to date back from July 22,1 1866, the date of original Aot increasing widows' pensions, or from date of modi fled law of last HOBbion. Monoure D. Conwsy tells this story in one of his London letters to the Cincin? nati Commercial: "Let me conclude my letter with the following little conversa? tion which I overheard at the Adelphi Theatre a few evenings ago. The play I was "Jack Cade." First stranger, re ! marking upon one of the earliest thefts of the hero, says, 'He's a fair candidate for Newgate.' Second stranger says, 'If he went to America he'd be a fair candi? date for Congress.' Fad." TaifliiNO with a Noble Bed Man.? A Kansas district school was reoontly visited and addressed by Messrs. Big Mouth, Powder Faoe and Spotted Wolf ?all the noblest kind of noble red men. A misohievous school-boy placed a pin trap where Big Mouth sat" down, and that chieftain was observed to rise hastily and remark: "Ugh! too much fleo bite. Me no stay to hear class in Ana lytical Geology." Then he left. BbutaXi Assault. ?Mr. Aaron Thomas was brutally assaulted one day last week, by two negroes, whom he met on the highway. One of tbe negroes knocked him off his horse with an axe, and the] other stamped him in tbe faoe with bis feet. Mr. Thomas thinks ho knows one of the party. The assault was made without provocation whatever. Mr. Thomas was very seriously hurt. [Pickene Sentinel. Heotor Gardner, a colored thief, who has been plying his vocation in Augusta, Charleston and Aiken for some time, waB arrested a few days ago, and while being curried to the latter place for trial, suc? ceeded in slipping his baud.cuffs and made his oscapo from the cars as the}* were passing Williston. This is tho so cond timo ho bus escaped at that point. 7,000 Yankee clocks wore recently shipped to Japan, and now every daimio in tbo country that can raiso tho Btamps wears ou3 of tbono neat and reliable, but not gaudy, time pieces, strapped on bis breast, and when the clock strikes ho draws a larger crowd around him than n monkey at a circus. Tho New Orleans papers of tho 10th say: "It is well enough to note, by way of forestalling detraction, that last night was perfectly quiet and orderly, notwith? standing tho absenoe of all policemen from the city, who are doing janissary duty for the citizen of Illinois who wants to govern our Stato." This is the way they mingle biiBiuoss with pleasure in Florida: ' A teacher in a public school at TallabnBseo, invited the children to a pic nic, aud told them to bring their hatchets along. The pic nio turned ont to be a pea stick cutting, lie got all the sticks ho wanted." The oldest chartered lodge of Masons now in exiatenoe in the United States is Solomon's Lodge, No. 1, of Savannah. It was chartered by tho Grand Lodge of England, in 1765, and was re-oharterod by the Grand Lodge of Georgia on tho organization of that body in 1785. ?

Advices from Cape Town, Sooth Africa, state that the King of Asbanlee, one of the most extensive and powerful king? doms of Western Africa, has declared war against Great Britain. An Ashaotr e army 35,000 strong has marched from their capital and are threatening Mlmins, a iorti?ed town on the Guinea coast. Much alarm exists. The London Observer, speaking of a popular aotress, says: "She has gone to America, the lucky country that steals all onr favorites."
