FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1855.
H
(jy One oi the most important matters of pres-
I ent disagreement between the Southern people
I and a large portion of those in the ^k'orth is
■ unquestionably the fugitive slave law. We think
A there is no good reason why there cannot be an
K amicable adjustment of this. The object which
H the law is n/.ei.ded to accomplish, the actual
restoration of actual slaves escaping into non-
I^»Jt »levebolding States, is one which those States
ha\e do right to oppose orresi-t. If the people
h ' of the free Stutes say that our slaves, escaping
| to their soil, shall not be returned to us, they set
the constitution and our rights under it at open
defiance, and it is not worth while to reason
with them or even to expostulate with them or
attempt to comprom se with them. But, if our
Northern brethren are willing that there should
be provisions for the effectual restoration of real
fugitives from slavery, and, if their whole ob-
jection to the present fugitive slave law. as some
of them allege, is, that it is unconstitutional in
some of its features, that it is unnecessarily
harsh, and that it puts in peril the liberty of
freemen, and if they merely desire to change
the law without impairing its bgitimate effec-
tiveness, we do not believe there can be any in-
superable obstacle to a fair and right adjust-
ment
We ki.u». Out iomo honest and enlightened
patriots of the South think that the law might
in .-ome things very properly have been made
less offensive to the public sentiment of the
North than it is. Two or three months after
the close of the Congressional session during
which this and the rest of the com-
promise measures were adopted, we had
, a long conversation upon the subject with
Mr. Clay, on his return from Cuba, at the
house of his relative Mr. Thomas Smith in this
city. Upon that occasion Mr. Clay expressed
much concern at the discontent of the North
or. accrunt of the fugitive slave law and re-
** marked, that, if he could have remained at
Washington and acted upon the committee by
which the bill was reported to the Senate, he
could, he f dily believed, have caused it to be re-
ported anti passed in a form far less offensive
to the North and perhaps entirely satisfactory
to both North and South, but that, after his de-
parture for Boston on account of ill-health, an
influential member of the committee, who was
opposed to the whole system of compromise
measures, proposed and carried provisions ap-
parently designed to make it obnoxious. We
asked Mr. ' Clay what he himself would hav e
proposed if he had staid and acted on the com-
mittee. He replied, that he would have pro-
posed a provision that a person claimed as a
fugitive slave should, on being remanded to the
place whence he escaped, have a jury-trial
there to test his right to freedom if he desired
it. We suggested that the fugitive could have
I this under the law as it passed. Yes, said Mr.
Clay, but the people of the North suppose, and
it is to a great extent true, that a negro, claimed
and held as a slave, does not, as a general rule,
understand his legal rights; that, either by his
own ignorance or by his master's authority or
management, he is prevented from taking
* the necessary steps for obtaining legal re-
M dress; or that he is hurried off and sold
it. some remote part of the country where
proof of his right to freedom is out of the ques-
tion; and I would have proposed that prov ision
should be made in the law for the slave's being
taken back to the very neighborhood whence he
should be alleged to hav e escaped, and for ascer-
taining whether he actually claimed a right to
freedom, and, if he did claim it, for having the
question of his right brought immediately before
a jury of the vicinage without any actke agency
of his own. And the old patriot added that
many of the people of the North understood,
and the rest could easily be made to understand,
that the rights of a colored person would be in
no danger from such a jury, there being nothing
in the human shape that the people of the South
more abhor than a kidnapper or a man who
claims a free person as his slave.
We could certainly wish that the present fu-
gitive slave law, though no doubt fat from per-
fect, might, for the sake of peace, be it alone,
but we repeat, that, if the true men, the genu-
ine patriots of the non-slaveholding States, en-
tertain a sincere and honest conviction that the
raw in some of its features is either unconstitu-
tional or harsh and perilous to the freedom of
free citizens or to the rights and the sovereignty
of the free States, and if they desire to procure,
in a proper spirit, modifications not at all incon-
sistent with the prompt and effective accom-
. plishment of the rights guaranteed to the South
by the Constitution, we have little doubt that an
'km amicable adjustment might be made, and that
MP the Northern and Southern members of the great
American party might, through their delegates,
agree upon the terms.
We had intended to speak, to-day, of
be pleased t» hear f iom others upon the subject. '

fountain of poetry as dwells in the depths of

I know a dream, that is not quite all dream,
Which jet fall sadly lies
On my enchanted eyes.
And trail* a sorrow o^er the day supreme.
1 know a rich domain, on fertile ground.
Begirt with granite lulls:
And reined with fl •jhing rilli,
Where high the laurel-forests wave around.
There tnnny wilds unnumlxred blooms infold,
With red .len. e of balm;
And groves of Syrian jalm
In rank luxuriance fleck the dreamy wold.
Among the hills there yawns a wird seats.
With i. : i alauting over,
And knitted hemlock cover
To mortal line and plummet measureless.
Red poppies flaunt in that unholy place,
And sunless «hadowa lie,
heirs are born to one unhappy race.

With roof of gorgeous arch,
As blue as hearen in March:
With fretted gold and arabesque o er all.
glancing chambers mildly trickles day.
On pictures old and grand—
The noblest in the land,
imagery, that lines the way.
A banquet stands untasted on the board.
As guests were there to he—
In lordly revelry—
By human hand the wine haa not been poured.
Dv human hand the c .ns.rs an- not fed—
The censers nil of gold.
And car»ed in antique mould,

There have been t. roups in that ancestral palace,
That live to-day in rhyme;
But empty now. sublime,
Thoae halls of silent song descend on Alice.
Beware! a doom o'erhangs the arching grand,
That nameless here must be;
Alas, for one like thee

My lips arc sealed, as once iu Palestine

Like thee, the olden throngs were fair and gay:
But only one was true;
How madly I may roe

Her soul in Paradise:
The genUest «oul that ever sli ded there.
City Council. — The board of aldermen
last night transacted no business. Communica-
tions were received from Mr. Speed and Mr.
Barbee. Mr. Speed, who holds the office of
Mayor now, sent in his former message, and Mr.
Barbee, in his communication, stated that he
should take immediate steps to regain posses-
sion of the office to which he was elected, by
application to the Court of Appeals for a su-
persedeas until the question can be finally settled
by that tribunal.
In the board of councihnen a variety of busi-
ness was transacted. An ordinance was passed
to endorse the bonds of the Fort Wayne rail-
road to the f l'owing amounts and under the
following •• ons: As soon as the road is
ready to recei the iron between Jeffersonville
and Charlestown, the city to endorse her bonds
for $100,000; between Charlestown and Lexing-
ton, the city to endorse her bonds to the amount
of $124,000; from Lexingto to Paris, $100,000;
and from Paris to the Ohio and Mississippi rail-
road, $88,000; provided that the road shall not
cost more than $12,500 per mile, and that
the bonds shall not be appropriated to any other
purpose than the purchase of railroad iron.
Communications from Messrs. Barbee and
Speed of a similar character as those to the board
of aldermen were received. The decision of
Judge Bullock was read and ordered to be
spread upon the proceedings.
The salary ordinance from the Board of Al-
dermen was amended as follows: Auditor from
$121)0 to $1100, assessor from $1200 to $1500,
engineer from $1200 to $1400, physicians of the
Eastern and Western district from $400 to $500
each, alms house keeper from $600 to $500,
clerks of the council from $800 to $700 each,
and watchmen from $1 50 to $2. The ordi-
nance passed — 12 to 3.
Various accounts were allowed.
An ordinance to tax hucksters $100 annually
was passed.
Mr. Pennebaker, from the revision committee,
reported against an ordinance introduced by
Dr. Raphael permitting tavern-keepers, apothe-
caries, livery stable keepers, confectionaries,
bakers, restaurants, and barbershops to keep
open on Sunday. The report was not concurred
in, and the ordinance was referred to a select
committee consisting of Dr. Raphael and Messrs.
Dirxlap and Beatty.
Th*. council meets on Thursday evening next.
Another Quick Trip.— The A. L. Shotwell
arrived last night, making the trip f rom New
to VJjis port in 5 days 3 hours and 38
Orleans
minutes
-the quickest time made this season.
We have received by her New Orleans papers
to last Saturday evening and a copy of her mem-
orandum, which gives the particulars of the
trip.
Consumption of Iron at Sebastopol.— If
the Russian war shall have the effect to dimin
ish the manufacture of railway iron in England,
it seems likely to create a demand for iron in
the shape of cannon balls and shells, quite equal
to, if not exceeding, the diminution in the
amount required for railroads. By the last
steamer's news we learn that the allies have five
hundred guns playing on Sebastopol, firing one
hundred ai,.2 twi-.-ry .o ;,:.i.i t.Aly. Vc •».
. .-!,./ ': !!s wei^h
one ton. At every round fired, there will be
of course ten tons and each day twelve hundred
tons weight of cannon-balls and shells tt»T0w€;
into Sebastopol. The bombardment at the latest
dates had lasted twelve days, and of courill
there- had been thrown into the town, in that
time, fourteen thousand four hundred tout of
iron. It is probable that the Russians may
have hurled back at th* allies nearly the same
weight of metal, and it is safe to compute the
total consumption of iron in the seige of Sebas
topol for these twelve days at twenty-five thou-
sand tons. This iron, thus thrown away and
wasted in war in '.he brief period of twelve
days, would furnish the metal required to con-
struct about 2,-2i)0 miles of railroad.
How convenient the editor of the Journal finds
it to make assertions. "Why is a," says •fce,
"that you never said a solitary word against**
doings in Kansas?" The readers of the DenSsV
crat know how much truth there is in the im-
plied assertion of the Journal. — Democrat.
We certainly find it easy to make assertions
and not difficult to maintain the truth of those
we do make. If the '-implied assertion of the
Journal" that the editor of the Democrat had
not said a word against the doings in Kansas
was an error, let him show the fact by citation
of date and paragraph. We are open to con-
viction.
Counterfeiters Arrested. — The Cincin-
nati police, on Wednesday, arrested a man named
Geo. H. Cady on the steamer Bostona, and on
searching his stateroom and person found $5,-
535, in "fives" and "tens" on the Farmers Bank
of Charleston, Va. The police proceeded to a
house of questionable character, kept by a Mrs.
Williams, where they found a man named Ar-
nold. On searching the premises, they discover-
ed about $20,000 of tha same description of
money; mostly in sheets. Mrs. Williams and
Arnold were taken into custody.
Shipments of Pittsburg Coal.— We learn
from Mr. Watson that the boats lad en with
Pittsburg coal which have passed through the
canal this season number 90, or 45 pair. They
averaged 26,000 bushels to the pair, which
makes the total quantity shipped 1,170,000. bush-
els. The boats were destined for New Orleans,
Natchez, Vicksburg, Memphis, St. Louis, and
other towns.
The well- " .Washington corres-
pondent of the f3a ;r Sun gives in the fol-
lowing letter a new view u f the purpose of Gov.
Reeder's visit to Washington. If this view is
correct, the Governor is a firmer a ml more ftar-
le-s public functionary thaa either his enemies
or his friends have believed him t o be:
It has been generally. biU^erianeorxs, under-
let ot Gov. KeeUer's visit lo thi» otv, at tne
present time, is to lay Oeiore tne Executive Gov-
ernment some questions in relation to his official
conduct. This is far from being the fact. It is
not necessary for him to make any appeal to the
•Federal Government, either for a decision upon
legal questions or for protection.
He has acted in conformity with the laws, and
Bit fully carried out the principles of the Ne-
braska bill, sa far as his action was concerned-.
He left no undecided questions, and it is for the
disaffected, not for him, to make an appeal to
the President from his decision of acts. "Ebe
fact is that the President has takm no cogni-
zance of any question on the subject of Guv .
Reeder's administration, and has not been called
upon to do so.
No question whatever ia regard to this matter
has been referred to the law officer of the gov-
ernment, though Gov. Reeder suggested to those
who objected to some of bis decisions, as to the
legality of the election returns, that they eoukl
have the question referred to the U. £ . Attorney
funeral.
tlov. Reeder is heee to receive instructions
and money for carrying into effect several libe-
ral acts of the late Congress for military po^t
road- and other improvements in the territory.
When be returns he mill take with him hi fam-
ily, which I mention as a proof that he has no
doubt of his ability to maintain his authority
and preserve law and order in the territory, not-
withstanding the threats of some of his oppo-
nents, on the Missouri border, to eject him by
Torce.
The new election which Gov. Reeder has or-
dered on the 22d will not probably be attend • d
with any disturbances or irregularities. The
Missiurians have no motive to interfere in that
election, because they have already secured a
majority in the Legislature, independently of
the vacancies to be filled at the coming elec-
tion.

The R. J. Ward. — This great steamer reach-
ed Portland at 15 minutes after 10 o'clock last
night, making the trip from New Orleans to this
port in 5 days 4 hours and 45 minutes^ She was
crowded with passengers, and has- proved bv
this run that her speed corresponds with all her
other good qualities. We thank Messrs. Wool-
folk and Gray, her attentive clerks, for New
Orleans papers of last Saturday evening and a
copy of her memorandum.
The following statement was furnished by the
officers of the Ward:
1 he Ward left New Orleans with no prepa-
ration whatever for a run with any boat, having
been advertised for that day and hour some time
in advanee, and paying no attention to the de-
f arture of any boat, and she is now advertised
or the balance of the season and will leave as
advertised, and, although her officers desire it
to be understood by all parties that they do not
wish the Ward to "be considered a racing boat,
yet they shall not be deterred at any time from
showing that, in addition to the comforts which
she lays claim to, she has speed equal to any
boat on the river.

Know-Nothings.— The Nashville Whig, of
Wednesday, says:

there was a State convention of this Impalpable

[For the Louisville Bullet iu. )
PROTRACTED MEEri.Nt..
Rev. D. P. Henderson, of Mo., is still iu our
city and is continuing his interesting meeting in
the Christian Chapel, corner of Walnut and
Fourth streets. The audiences are large and
attentive. Many are being converted to the
Christian religion under his labors. He is a
very argumentative and popular pulpit orator.
He speaks with great ease, fluency, and effect.
It is very evident that he has studied logic with
much care. He repudiates the modern notion
of rev ivalism, and urges on his audience calm-
ness, composure of mind, and a firm determina-
tion to sacrifice everything for the truth of the
Christian religion. The very best aud most in-
telligent of our citizens flock to hear him. He
is now delivering a course of lectures on "The
True Church of Christ." This evening he will
deliver his 4th lecture on the "Family JSame and
Creed" of the Church of Christ. We under-
stand that he will remain in the city until next
w*ek.
Rev. Mr. H. belongs to the corps editorial,
and is publishing a monthly periodical called
'The Christian Evangelist," v/hfyjf is printed
at his office in Fort Wayne, Ind-fwid is issued
simultaneously at that place and Desoto and
Canton, Mo. He is also the founder of Christ-
ian University in Lewis county, Mo., which is
destined to be one of the most splendid edifices
in the valley of the Mississippi. We understand
that Mr. H. has procured $110,000 for this in-
stitute and that he is still making efforts for
$100,000 more. Success, therefore, to such
praiseworthy efforts, and success to this able
and philanthropic Divine. •
Hotel Prices and Profits. — It has been
officially announced by some of our leading
hotels, that, on and after the 1st of M. y, the
charge for board would be $3 per day. The
Astor, St. Nicholas, and 2vew York have raised
their prices on account, we believe, of the
high price of beef, pork, and potatoes. The
Metropolitan Hotel continues the old charge of
$2 50 per day, and it is the intention of the
proprietors to make no change, under any cir-
cumstances short of famine. With flour at $12
per barrel, potatoes at $1 50 per bushel, and
other articles in proportion, It does not pay
very well at $2 5li per day, but the proprietors
of the Metropolitan believe that for tne year
through the old prices will be sufficiently remu-
nerative, and they also believe that hotels should
take their chances with other kinds of business,
good seasons with the bad. Uniformity
prices is an important matter with the traveling
public, and the Metropolitan will adhere fo the
old rate'tnrough summer and winter.

Stephen H. Branch— Outside Secretary of
the Police Investigating Committee of the Board
of Aldermen, City of New York. — The city of
New York is blessed at this time with an alder-
man named Briggs who is worth his weight in
gold to those who can make anything by laugh
Ing. As chairman of a comn it.ee to inquire
into the nativity of the members of the
police corps of the city of New York, he has
flayed antics for some time that were decidedly
frich. We hope that he is related to the Briggs
♦who has been immortalised in Punch, by the
burin of Leach. He should have some consan-
guinity with that hero.
Alderman Briggs has just made a new de-
monstration of his talents which is worth repub-
lishing in this region. The alderman enters
into such minute particulars of the history of
his chum, Stephen H. Branch, as to show that
Prescott and Bancroft may as well look to their
laurels. The history of the said S. H. Branch
is of some interest to some people in Louisville,
and we give him the benefit of a republication
of Alderman Briggs's report to the board of
New York aldermen, made on Monday last.
The alderman broke loose in the following
style:
Report of the Special Police Committee Respect-
ing the Salary, $c, of Stephen H. Branch, as
Outside Secretary.
Alderman Hendrick recently offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which was adopted:
"Resolved, That the chairman of the special
committee employed in investgating matters
connected with the police department be, and
he is hereby directed te report to this board by
what authority he has employed an outside se-
cretary, what compensation is to be allowed to
Stephen H. Branch, Esq., the historian and trav-
eler, for his services, aud who is to pay the
same."
In response to the above, the, special police
committee will observe that in consequence of
the recent labothJus duties .of ihe cje/ks of the
common councii^hey det#rmihe,d.tG f mjilo'jL ari

American gentlemai, mci^thW etJlinanlyT dis-
tinguished as a phreuo-mnemotechmc, anft as a
fireman, scholar, statesman, and jurist, aud as a
mirthful traveler in perilous lands. That he is
a native of Providence, R. 1., a State that reared
tile ''Rhode Island Line," a band of courageous
Jstriols, on whom Washington relied in the
arkest hour of the revolution — a State that es-
tablished the first cotton factory on this conti-
nent, and gave birth to Green and Perry, those
illustrious soldiers on land and sea.
' With such a pedigree, and with such intelli-
gence and experience as he possesses, the com-
mittee lost no time in earnestly requesting him
to become their outside secretary. On request-
ing Mr. Branch's bill for his patriotic, protract-
irdnon«. and faithful services. *b»y voe*
amazed to learn that he magnanimously besought
the committee to give to Alderman Herrick, the
Inover of the resolution, whatever they consid-
ered a fair equivalent for his services, as a slight
testimonial of regard for that gentleman's unde-
viating fidelity to the municipal treasury, and to
the tax-payers of the city and county of New
York, since be has been alderman of the nine-
teenth ward.
Respectfully submitted by
JOHN H. BRIGGS,
Chairman 0 f the Special Police Investigating Committee.
Alderman Briggs is either not fully posted up
on the history of his hero, or he suppresses val-
uable truths respecting his career. This huge,
black-whiskered S. H. Branch came out Wes'
once for a career, and diddled a number of the
fcitlxens of Louisville each out of five dollars,
ale signed a pledge to Professor Gouraud, in
Mmiuon with hosts of others, setting forth that
he would not attempt to toucli the Professors
eTyiftem of phreno-mr.emotechny, which he was
about to learn, without a certificate from that
gen&einH.n that he was able to teach the science.
But ■efore the course of lectures was comple-
t|fVk New York, Branch came out here and
undertook to teach what he did not know him-
self. \ number of persons paid him in ad-
vance Ar his instruction, but, when the news of
bis attempts reached the city of New York, the
press of ^hat city unanimously denounced him
as a scoundrel. The Courier and Enquirer and
the Tribune were especially severe upon him.
The Hon. B F. Butler, a member of Gouraud's
class, reached here one Sunday morning, about
the time that the New York papers came out
with these denunciations, and Branch made an
effort to get that gentleman to hide the stain
jipoii his character, but Mr. Butler treated him
unmitigated contempt. Branch assured
ras going to make a temporary
to inflict public chastisement
upon Col. Wfrfcjknd the editor of the Tribune,
and he would theWet urn and fulfil the engage-
ment which he had mad^with his class, and for
which they had paid ht$V But the said Ste-
phen H. Branch has never tea bis face in
Louisville since his flight, and -ieSsfts fortunate
for him that he did not, for his plmifWed and
humbugged class had made up their rhinde to
give bun a coat of tar aud feathers immediately
upon his return to Louisville.
Such is Alderman Briggs's hero. We should
scarcely have supposed that he would risk him-
self befogs New York public after the wett-
founded derivations of the N«w York press,
denunciations »%frhich he quietly submitted at
that time, and whicVstiil bear upon him heavily
enough to exclude him from the society of all
decent and honorable menV^How his cheeks

killed at a German drinking saloon, at Chiei
on Tuesday, by its proprietor, Charles Adler-
(£3^- The St Louis Intelligencer, the St. Lou-
is Democrat, the Boonville Observer, the Han-
nibal Messenger, the Glasgow Times, the Ful-
ton Telegraph, and other respectable papers of
Missouri are exceedingly severe upon the late
Parkville mob and upon the violent proceed-
ings that have since taken place in and near that
place and the threats of still further and great-
er outrages. We copy the following from the
St. Louis Intelligencer of . ^t Tuesday:
The light that is breaking upon the Western
horizon looks very much like the lurid flame of
civil war. It is a solemn crisis that now im-
pends over the country. We know that agents
are out, from western Missouri, striving to ex-
cite the people of the rest of the State to join
them in the violent proceedings they have al-
ready started in Platte county.
If they succeed, Missouri will soon be in a
flame. It will spread to the South, and the
Union itself will perish like a burnt scroll!
It is a time for every patriot to be cool and
firm. Our country must not perish thus. Our
homes, property, wives, and children must not
be given up to civil war, to mob law sod anar-
chy, to serve the purpose of a few desperate
politicians. But there is great cause of alarm,
and we warn our friends throughout the State
that a volcano will speedily burst under their
feet, and destroy the State and the Union, un-
less the) have virtue, prudence, and courage
enough to resist approaches that will be made
to them.
We are glad to see that the occasion is calling
forth men suitable to meet the crisis. The
Hannibal Messenger leads off in an article,
which we give below. It is worthy of Mis-
souri. Let its spirit be adopted; and peace,
law. and the Union may yet prevail. The pr ss
of the State, that wields a wide and wholesome
influence, should encourage the support of
"LAW AND ORDER," and strengthen the
hearts of those citizens who do not think that
the time has yet come for Missouri to plunge
into civil war and destroy the American Union,
on account of the Territory of Kansas, and the
recent broils there.
The same paper- of the following day con-
tains some strong and just reflections upon the
consequences which the citizens of Western
Missouri must inevitably bring upon themselves
by the course of lawlessness and ruffianism they
are pursuing. We copy a few brief para-
graphs:
Who will go willingly to settle down in a
community where the arm of law is pals.ed, and
the right to be heard on trial, the right to defend
against grave accusations, and the right to ap-
peal against unjust judgments, is silenced in the
loud fury of a mob, thirstinsfor blood and life?
Who would willingly remain in a community, in
which a secret, inquisitorial organization exists,
which hears charges against men in secret con-
clave at night,decrees the hanging of the men and
the destruction of their property, and actually
details and commissions agents to go and execute
the decrees of the Inquisition, and pledges life
and money to stand by those agents and save
them from all harm resulting from the execution
of the bloody decrees? Are the people of
Western Missouri ready to meet the conse-
quences to themselves, to their own peace and
security of life and property, and to their own
temporal prosperity, by plunging into a state
of anarchy like tbis?
It is easy enough to raise a storm of human
passion, but who can ride and rule it, when its
fury is at its height?
We are well aware that it is useless to talk to
men, when they are highly excited, about the
pecuniary loss they must sustain by their vio-
lence. I'hey declare that it is principle, not
3?« y feat guttles their aeti ns. This :s arcB
enough, when there is principle enough involved
and danger enough imminent, to threaten the
loss of liberty and estate. But such a crisis is
not at hand in Missouri — and still the people of
the Platte country are destroying themselves.
Why, even slaveholders would not willingly
emigrate into a country and settle down and
buy property, where the laws are set aside, and
men are mobbed, driven away, and hung with-
out trial by law and appeal to juries.
If the people of Weston, Missouri, do not, of
their own accord, proclaim peace and law in
their midst — if they permit violence aud disre-
gard of the regular forms of law and trial by
jury to prevail, as they have lately done, they
will ruin all Western Missouri for twenty years
to come.
No peaceably disposed person will go there to
live. Lands will depreciate in value. Remov-
als from the country will be frequent, and no
incomers to take their places. Farms will be
se n everywhere for sale, and no buyers want-
ing them. The commerce and business of the
whole State will suffer a serious and rapid de-
cline.
Indiana University. — We have received in
pamphlet form the addresses of Governor
Wright and the Rev. W. M. Daily, D. D., de-
livered at the installation of the last named gen-
tleman as president of the Indiana University
August 2, 1854. These orations are productions
of marked ability and eloquence, highly credi-
table to the gentlemen by whom they were de-
livered. That of Gov. Wright contains some
reflections and advice that it will be well for the
faculties in the colleges and universities of the
various States of tbis Union to consider and
adopt. Of this character is the following sen-
tence, which will serve as a specimen:
The systems of political economy taught in our
colleges do not, it seems to me, sir, attach suf-
ficient importance to the interests, rights, and
duties of e:ir State governments. A wise ad-
ministration of the affairs of the State
governments will impart wisdom and strength
to the national councils; and that is a
wise p&licy which in all ordinary cases
throws the several States of the Union upon
then own resources, and confines the
action of the General Government to the
•sereise^f those powers clearly granted to it by
th».Censt&alion. The desire to foster strong
attachments* to ^ur State interests, and to fix in
the minds of students a true appreciation of our
Staterigbta, should never be permitted to de-
generate into a feeling of prejudice against any
other portion of the Union. The instructors of
the VTVita\jf the present day should labor to es-
tabnsh "f e\ue;s of friendship, harmouy, and
peace amon^Le citizens of our widely extend-
ed republic* I ^he richest promise is to the
pesee-makerj arM^his promise extends not only
to individuals, bu\jo communities, States, and
nations.

of the Zante currant — a vaneSg of small grape —
which have been distributed uuhe Middle and

Bbeckinridge Cannel Coal.— We copy the
following from the New Orleans Crescent of
the 4th inst. When the writer says that one
barrel of the Breckinridge coal will last as long
as two barrels of the Pittsburg, he does not
I mean that this will be the result if equal quan-
tities in bulk or weight of the two kinds of coal
are kept in the grate. But a small quantity of
the Breckinridge coal makes as much flame and
heat as three or four times the same quantity of
Pittsburg, and thus a barrel of the former article
will last much longer than a barrel of the latter:
Breckinridge Cannel Coal. — We received a
visit some days since from Mr. John J. Ange-
vene, agent of the Breckinridge Cannel Coal
Company, who favored us with a specimen of
the article he has to dispose of. This coal has
been spoken of very highly by those who have
tried it la Kentucky, aud has been pronounced
by competent judges unquestionably the test in
the country. In the first instance it burns well
and clearly, giving a strong, brilliant heat, with
but a small residuum of ashes. One barrel of
it will last as long as two of the Pittsburg coal,
and burn with the damper down, while the
Pittsburg needs to have it up. The flame is like
that of a candle, clear, bright, and steady. It
burns to clear white ashes and leaves no clinkers
on the grate bars. It is infinitely cheaper and
more valu* ble for families, and for steam engines
having boilers with large flues, than any other
quality that can be found.
We speak advisedly with regard to this mat-
ter, and, after giving it a fair trial, pronounce it
the best and cheapest coal we have ever used.
We look upon its general introduction here as a
matter of great importance, feeling satisfied that
when a fair trial is made it will in every instance
give satisfaction.
Courtship and Marriage in France. —
A forthcoming work on "The Ins and Outs of
Paris, or Paris by Day and Nigh'," by the Baror-
ess de Marguerrittes, has the following about
courtship and marriage in France. It is full of
novelty for this latitude, and will be read with
interest. We quote from the advanced sheets of
this new and interesting book, which have been
politely furnished us by the publisher, Wm.
White Smith, li#5 Chestnut street, Philadelphia.
This is the way they court in France: — One la-
dy says to another:
"My daughter is eighteen. She has so much."
( Every girl has a dowry if it be but five hundred
francs. ) You see so many young men — cannot
you think of one to suit her."
Of course the lady can, for men are as eager, in
France, to marry, as the girls are to get hus-
bands. It is an increase of fortune, and a patent
of respectability, in all stations, in all professions.
The young man is spoken to, and of course the
young lady named to him. A party is given, and
they meet. Or sometimes the girl is taken to
the Opera, and the lover examines her through
his glass. If satisfied with the survey, he is al-
lowed to pay a visit. Then the girl, supposed to
be in entire ignorance up to this point, is asked
how she would like so-and-so for a husband.
Now, it is but just to say, that/if the girl does
not approve, the negotiation goes no further.
But as she has never spoken to this suitor, and
knows she will not speak to any future suitor, if
the man is tolerably good-looking, and the tail-
or has done his duty, why she — being assured by
her parents that the money is all right — gener-
ally says, "yes." Then the mamma of the bride-
groom comes one evening when the hou-e has
been set in order and every one dressed in his
best. And after the first salutation she rises, and
in a solemn voice asks the hand of Mademoiselle
Estelle ,for Mons. Achille . Then the
mamma on the opposite side of the house accepts
the offer; Mademoiselle Estelle weeps, and
throws herself into her future mamma's arms,
whilst the son-in-law embracps the mother of his
intended. The papas shake hands; the betrothed
lovers,relea ed from the maternal arms, mutually
bow to each other — and the servants bring in tea.
Then the lawyers set to work to draw up the con-
tract; the mamma orders new dresses, etc., for
her daughter, and puts new caps and dresses on
herself. The bridegroom comes every evening
with a grand bouquet, which he offers to Made-
moiselle — flirts an hour or two with the mother
— bows to the daughter — and goes off. The
bride elect has only to embroider quietly by her
mother's side, to smile, to blush, and simper.
Then the negotiating lady comes in grand state,
preceded by an enormous trunk. 5lamma and
the bride receive her — never, of course, heed-
ing the trunk. Then the lady makes a speech,
opens the ti unk, and presents the bride with the
corbeille — namely, the wedding dress, veil, and
wreath; two or three cashmere shawls; ditto vel-
vet dresse ; a set of furs; a se' of lace fl Junces;
a set of diamonds; a watch, a fan, a prayer book,
and a purse of gold. These come from the
b:ideg'Oom. In return, the lady gets a b'acelet
from the bride, with many thanks for the pres-
ents and the husband. The mother scolds the
intended for the recktess magnificence displayed
when he comes at night. The bride says, "ah,
monsieur!" blushes and throws herself into
her mother's arms. Then the mamma gives
her present to the intended — six cambric
shirts, and six white cravats, the whole trimmed
with Valenciennes, chosen with an eye to the fu-
ture pocket handkerchiefs of the bride; fe r, after
the wedding day, what man will be bedecked
with lace? At last comes the signing of the con-
tract. The bride takes one step into the world —
she receives her visitors, and speaks, nay conver-
se, with all except the intended — that would be
improper. She gives tokens of affection to her
unmarried relations bought from the purse in the
corbeilU. The wonders of this corbeille are dis-
played in one room, while the trousseau of the
bride, given by the mother, is exhibited in anoth-
er. Embroidery, linen, cambric, laces, etc., are
here lavished on the personal under-clot 1 ing of
the bride, made up in dozens and dozens of each
article — with piles and piles of table-cloths,
sheets, towels, etc. — all marked with embroider-
ed marks, and tied with pink and blue ribbons.
Then comes 'he civil ceremony; and two days
after, the last scene of all; at which we have "as-
sisted," in the church of St. Sulpice [the reli-
gious ceremony.]
This is the way they manage marriages in
France. Love is out of the question. But ic
comes after in more cases than it lasts in other
countries, where it is supposed to come before.
There is great liberty after marriage on both
sides, but a strict observance of outward forms.
Wom-n are devoted mothers; and if they do not
always esteem the man, ihey invariab.y respect
the husband. The family tie is stronger in
France than any where else. If in France
there are few model marriages, where happiness
and love are ever blooming, there are certainly
much fewer really unhappy ones.
Grapes for Consumption.— Ths use of grapes
as an article of food is much recommended 1n
cases of consumption. They contain a large
quantity of grape sugar, the kind which most
nearly resembles milk sugar in its character and
composition, which also is very useful for con-
sumptives, it having a great attraction for oxy-
en, and herefore readily affording materials

Bachelors' attentions are particularly invited tothis number.
They should notfail lo read what Miss Bremer says about mar-
ried men.
Reader, are you a bachelor? If you are. remember marriage
is the mother of the world, and preserves kingdoms aid fills
cities and churches. Celibacy, like the fly in the heart of an
apple, dwells in perpetual sweetness, but sits alone, and is con-
fined, aud at last dies in singleness; but marriage, like tho
useful bee. build* a house and c:\th-rs sweetness from every
Mower. Come with me, saw "bachelor readers, "I have
made up my mind to 6tart." If you would be useful, hap-
py, prosperous, and honored, journey toward the land
ol wedlock, and when circumstances are favorable, take some
partner by the hand, enter its precincts, and with an abiding
confidence and pure desire, 'settle down" in the midst of its
sprini'ina delight- '
babies.

An Interesting Occasion and Correi
The Grand Master of the Grand Lodge (Mason-
ic) of the District of Columbia, Dr. Charles S.
Frailey, has recently received a letter from
the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge in
Pai is, asking that a delegate be appointed on
the part of the District Grand Lod^e to attend
a congress of the Masons of the Wor d to as-
semble in Paris on the 1st proximo, to take into
consideration the condition of Masonry over the
G!obe, and to adopt for the benefit of taf order
whatever may be appropriate and lawful. The
Grand Lodge of this District rinds itself unable
at so short notice to send over a suitable repre-
sentative, but has directed the Grand Master to
send to the Grand Master n Paris a commission
in blank to be accorded to some worthy Ameri-
can Mason, who may be attending the World's
exhibition in Paris, to act on the occasion ex-
plained above, as the representative of the Ma-
sons of this District. — Washington Slur.
Steam Engine Without a Boiler. — A friend has
exhibited to us the plan and drawings of an en-
gine of this kind, of which a successfully work-
ing model has been built and is owned by Wm.
O Brien, Esq., who is staying for a day or two
at the Weddell House. We are informed that
the model works exceedingly well and that Mr.
O'Brien is desirous to connect himself with
some party so that a full and fair trial shall be
given to so novel and interesting, and, it may
turn out, important invention. We have seen a
notice of it by a leading Philadelphia paper,
where the model has been exhibited, and deem
the matter of sufficient interest to our intelligent
citizens at least to invite a call upon Mr. O'Bri-
en and listen to his views and representations.

HE Castle Builders, by the author of • Heirts' Ea«e." The
Heir of Rcdrliffe." fto. D. Appleton ft Co. New York.
A simple hut beautiful storv, told in a simple and beautiful
manner. The author studiously avoids all forced aud unnatu-
ral incidents, and the equally fashionable aflectati' n of ex-
travagant language. It is destined to great popularity among
all classes of readers, for its sketches of life seem to us at once
lively, spirited, pathetic, as well asgrareful and vivid. All
w ho read it will Worni interested in its fascinating pajes,
and close 1 it with the impression that it is a good book, and de-
serving of universal popularity.
