Hitting the Nail on the Head.?Tlio Express yesterday enunciated a great tru^h, jvhether it intended it or not. Tt said, if territory is acquired, then (he fifteen SynthCm states have us much riyht to the enjoyment of it as the sixteen free states. This is the issue, and it is what is soon <?ot to he met.

"Uriuging men to the gallows," was the reply. Il might have been added : Old age, with sorrow to the grave; youth to idleness and disgrace; women and children to beggary, and the country to ruin. An Hibernian was reproved bv .in officer for elating to whittle in the ranks while going on duty. Juntas the officer sp<>k?-. one of Russia** balls came whistling over the ravine. Pat eot-ks his eve up towards it, and quietly said, "There goes a hoy on duty, and, by jabers, hear how he whistles'." When Mrs. Partington read in the newspapers that Jinny Lin had a fellow feeling in her bosom, she exclaimed, "Lor me! that's ju*t what the young men used to do when I was a gal An Everv-day Mouai..?Tlie law may compared to a street-fiirht. at the end of which it is discovered that the coats of tin* comhattants are iuissin<*.
