Westminster Abbey. Baron Marochetti, an old friend of the Thackeray family, has undertaken the bust. No less than one hundred and eighty thousand copies of Mr. Dickens' s Christmas number were disposed of within forty-eight hours after publication, and up to the Tuesday before Christmas two hundred thousand copies in all had been handed over the counter. "The American Lee Miller" is the title of a work to be issued in London. The book, it is said, will contain the jokes of President Lincoln, "Major Longbow," and Sam Slick. The professors of the College de France proceeded, a few days ago, to an examination of the claims of the candidates for the Hebrew professorship left vacant by the dismissal of M. Renan.

riest at Orange, New Jersey, explaining to his countrymen in Ireland how the Presidential election was worked. The following is an extract from the letter: Lincoln being a Republican and Abolitionist, and McClellan being a Democrat, and the people being tired and disgusted with the war to a state of nauseousness, Lincoln sawLincoln saw that Democracy would rise up in its majesty and defeat him. What did he do? He set his agents to work, and there was not a city, town, hamlet or village in the Northern and Western States but were bribed with thousands and thousands of greenbacks to secure his re-election. Greenback are the paper dollars that are current now. They have ceased to count them at Washington. They weigh them by the ton. I enclose one as a sample. You can easily see, sir, how Lincoln was re-elected.

In great glee they mounted the stolen horses and mules of their owners, and, loaded with plunder, took their departure for the land of Abe Lincoln's rule. The vision of the soft rolling carriage, fine dress, luxuriant eating, freedom and equality with their liberators, received the first rude shock but a few miles from town, when they were compelled to dismount and trudge through the muweather became bitter cold, and the negroes suffered terribly. The first to succumb were their children, being deserted by their brutish mothers to perish on the wayside. We hear of one woman who, tired of her burden, threw her infant, not a month old, in the wayside thicket and left it.--We are informed that twenty-two of these Abe Lincoln milestones have been found frozen to death on the roads traveled by the Yankees on their return — mostly children.-- Brookhaven (Mississippi) Telegr

And Mr. Lincoln adduced this fact as a reason for maintaining the policy of emancipation. There remains, therefore, to the Southern Government the expedient of resorting to the negroMr. Lincoln adduced this fact as a reason for maintaining the policy of emancipation. There remains, therefore, to the Southern Government the expedient of resorting to the negro element for the repletion of their ranks; and though this will, no doubt, for obvious reasons, be a last resort, we feel no doubt that the operation will, by a long period, precede submission to the Federal. We see no reason to doubt that the negroes will fight for their masters as willingly as they work for them, and we imagine a Southern negro is quite as capable of fighting as his Northern brother. So far, therefore, as the supply of men for their armies is concerned, we do not think tha
