importance of the cotton trade in Europe, and his variations of price, may prove interesting.

would carry more terror to the soul of Ericson or Worden than forty thousand Armstrong guns. The casual spectator will not fail to observe the, effect of the coal-scuttles upon women of varying statures. A short woman, for instance, in striving to get up in the world, forgets that she looks top-heavy; while a tail woman, endeavoring to preserve her advantage over her inferior, forgets that she looks ridiculous. Indeed, a chapter might be written upon this revamped fashion, now unaccountably brought into vogue; but we dismiss the subject, with a alight paraphrase upon the words of a prosaic friend in 1856. Time was when girls thin bonnets wore, projecting half a yard before,--the time has come again; and beauty thus is hidden deep, this something now to get a peep, and fellows gaze in vain; it should occur to woman's mind, to wear their bonnets all behind, if nature made them fair; but, other wise, the scuttle style, a on though it should project a mile, might criticism bear.

Had Sister Regis been a man, endowed with the same amount of energy and business aptitude, she would have achieved an uncommon fame in any station of life. Being a woman and a sister of Charity, she was contented with being a model of devotedness and this bounded energy to other women, and the pattern of everything that is pure, virtuous and lovely for her companions. In the year 1826, when she was twenty-two years old, Sister Regis joined the Sisters of Charity. She came to New Orleans in 1856, and a few men the after her arrival was known among us as an extraordinary woman, who knew no obstacle whatever in the execution of any plan suggested to her by a spirit of charity — always on the look-out. Successively she established the camp Street Asylum, the St. Elizabeth Asylum, the St. Vincent Infant Asylum, (on Magenine street,) and an Orphan Asylum in Carrolton. Were we to recount all the good works done by that saluted woman, we might fill easily a column of our paper.

es issued, as well as of those redeemed and canceled, are required to be kept; and this, it seems to me, accomplishes all that is necessary. All these evidences of debt and Treasury notes can be destroyed, without prejudice to the interests of individuals or of the State. These papers are in the way in the Treasurer's office, and the Auditor and Treasurer should be instructed to destroy them without delay. The same recommendation is made as to the Treasury notes issued under the act of 1856, which are also deposited in the Treasurer's office. The banks of Weston and Manassas — institutions based on State securities — having failed, the Treasurer proceeded under the law to wind both up. There remain yet outstanding of the circulation issued by the Bank of Weston two thousand eight hundred and fifty dollars, and of the Bank of Manassas about five thousand one hundred and fifty dollars. I recommend, therefore, that you shall by law authorize the sale of the stocks now in

0. The chances, it would appear, of bachelors getting married rapidly diminish after the age of 30. These important facts are furnished by an American statistician. At Newcastle recently, a numerously attended meeting was held to express sympathy with Prince Assam-Jah in his efforts to obtain the rights of which it is alleged he has been unjustly deprived. His Highness professes to be the rightful claimant of the mussed or throne of the Carnatic, the late Nabob having died in the year 1856. Recent explorations, prosecuted at his own expense, by Mr. Stack, an English architect and member of the Archœological Commission, have discovered the ancient temple of Bacchus, situated on the southern slope of the Acropolis, at Athens. Rich sections of pasture land are being discovered in Australia. Flocks are migrating from the Darling and Lachlin northward, and from New South Wales westward. A great company is now forming at Melbourne, with a capital of £5,000,000, to coloniz

ked feature of his character, he declined all offers, and, by teaching school, he soon inquired means, and graduated with distinction. At once he was appointed tutor, and at the end of a year entered the Law School of the University, again graduating with distinction. At the bar he soon assumed a first position; he was an able, energetic and successful lawyer. His client's cause was always his own cause. In 1860 he represented the county of Wilson in the General Assembly of Tennessee. In 1856 he was on the Fill more and Donelson electoral ticket, and made a brilliant canvass. In 18 7 he was the candidate of his party for Governor of Tennessee. In 1859 he was elected to the House of Representatives of the United States Congress. Up to the Publication of Lincoln's infamous proclamation Gen. Hatton was a decided Union man. He at once saw there was no hope for the South but in resistance. He soon raised a flue company, and at the organization of the 7th Tennessee regiment. on the

N. P. Banks. --In 1856 the Boston Pilot said: N. P. Banks, of Massachusetts, is 40 years of age. He has been a factory boy, a carpenter, a machinist, a dancing master, an actor, an editor, a lawyer, a National Democrat, a Coalitionist, an ardent lover of the Irish, a champion of religious liberty, a Know-Nothing, and now a Know-Nothing Freesoiler. A correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle briefly sketches what Banks has been since that time and what he is now: He has been Governor of that State celebrated for its m and wooden nutmegs, and with the characteristic love of his people for the almighty dollar, surrendered the glory of the Chief Magistracy of such a mighty people to preside over the interests of a Northwestern railroad with a salary large enough to tempt his innate and grasping love of money. Like the puissant Butler, from the same pugnacious State, he exchanged the civilian for high military honor under his master, old Abe; and the last we hear

Andy Johnson and the Eagle Orator of Tennessee. The following capital hit, out from the "Editor's Drawer" of Harper's Magazine for 1856, is too good not to be re-produced, now that the very name of "Andy" stinks in the nostril of every tree Southerner, so naturally suggesting the ides of "carrion:" A Memphis correspondent gives the following passage in a debate between Andy Johnson, a candidate for gubernatorial honors, and Gustavus Henry, generally known as Gus, the Eagle Orator. The debate was severe, and excited much interest, Andy closed his speech with this annihilating declamation: "We met this eagle. and I can say, with an honest heart, that he has one of my flesh on his talomanone of my blood on his beak." This was good, and would here been stumps, but the undismayed Gus immediately rose to his feet and replied: "The true the honorable gentlemen has met the engine, and bears no traces of having left flesh on his talons or blood upon his beak.

by the other causes above enumerated, could escape service, except by procuring a substitute. This had given rise to a degrading species of trade or speculation, in which a large number of man-sellers and buyers were engaged. But, under the system referred to, the conscript who bought a substitute was responsible for his substitute, and if the latter deserted or died before the expiration of the seven years term, was liable to be forced back into the ranks. This system was abolished in 1856 by order of the Emperor, and the Government itself now accepts pecuniary indemnity for the withdrawal of a conscript, and practically pays for his substitute by offering an ample bounty to volunteers. It is arranged that the sum received and paid by Government shall vary according to the military exigencies of the country, but the present basis is as follows: A conscript is exempted for 2,400 francs, ($480,) and the Government pays a bounty to volunteers amounting to 2,200 francs, ($440) mak

s his kindest compliments inquires how it is that in America the number beats the greater.--"Really," says he wiping his forehead with a Allen shaw1, "it seems that those Southron were not so very far out of the way when they declared that one of their men could beat five of yours. They made a mistake of only one, for you are four times as numerous as the Confederates. Ho, ho, ho, Jona-than !" Now, we must take Mr. Bull's raillery as it is meant, as an offset to what we used to say in 1854-6. It is burly Johnny's way. If we desire his respect, and that of other foreigners, we can get it by beating the enemy. That is the price of admission into the good graces of the European shop. The absent are said to be always wrong, and it is certain that the vanquished are always despised. It does not signify a rap how valiantly men fall, they are doomed to be trampled upon because they are fallen. Said Napoleon the First, "apres tout, qu'est queles Spartidles?--Des vaincus!"
