$10 reward. --Ranaway from my residence, on 2d street, between Mand Clay, on Thursday last, a negro Woman named Emeline about old, of a ginger-bread color, about feet high, quite fat, round face, thick curled hair, and inclined to be straight when combed. She had on when she left a yarn hood calico dress, and white apron. I think she is somewhere about the city working by the day trying to hire herself cut. The above reward will be given for her delivery to me at my house above stated, or at the store of Messrs. &Co., No. 30 Main street, if taken in the city and $20 if taken in the county. my 2--1w Miles Cary
A mulatto driver of a wagon, named Clinton, was kicked in the breast by one of his horses at the corner of Clay and 18th street yesterday evening, and was so severely injured that his life was despaired of.

The Southern Commissioners visit Lord John Russell. Mr. Gregory, on Saturday, introduced the three Commissioners from the Southern Confederacy to Lord John Russell. The interview was at Lord John Russell's private residence, and was considered informal. What occurred with regard to the recognition of the Southern States has not transpired.--Mail, 7th. American Agents Purchasing arms. Agents have arrived from American by the Persia, to purchase rifled cannon of the Armstrong, Clay, and Blakeley patterns; also nearly 200,000 rifles and revolvers, for immediate shipment. Arms from France. A letter from Toulon says:--"The civil war which seems on the point of breaking out between the disunited States of America is about to open for the French arsenals a market for exportation, which certainly was not foreseen. It is stated that American agents have come to France to purchase arms and military equipments, which the storehouses of the States will be only too glad
roying, for pulling down, for crippling national resources, for diminishing the strength and eclipsing the glory of his native land ? Wm. H. Seward is now sixty years old, and more than half of his life has been spent in the public service, beginning with his election to the New York Senate in 1830, and including his career in the United States Senate, which began in 1849. What great and beneficent public measure did he ever originate ? DeWitt Clinton left a record behind him; Calhoun, Clay and Webster were giants, and recognized as such, although they never stood on the Alpine heights of the Presidency. But what has Seward ever said or ever done that shows the sagacious, comprehensive and controlling grasp of a real statesman ? He is simply a cultivated, classic and cunning demagogue. He can make speeches as elaborate and artistical as those of Edward Everett, and he can work the wires of party with all the adroitness and subtlety of Thurlow Weed; but when this is said, all i
Late foreign intelligence. --The steamer Prince Albert arrived at St. John's on Friday, with Liverpool dates to the 21st. Political news unimportant. The Queen of Spain has signed the decree for the annexation of San Domingo. An amendment to the budget will be moved on the 23d to the effect that the committee be instructed to divide the customs and revenues bill, that each may be treated separately. Mr. Clay, American Minister to Russia, writes to the Times on the American struggle in brief and decisive terms. He says the revolted States can be subdued, but it is not proposed to subjugate them, but simply to put down rebel citizens. England's interest, he says, is to stand by the Union; and he inquires if England can afford to offend the United States. If England is so secure in the future against home revolution and foreign ambition as to venture to sow the seed of revenge? He concludes by saying that England is the natural ally of the United States. The
from Italy say that Gen. Carvignan had reached Turin. Martino, the new Governor of Naples, has issued a proclamation expressing his intention to govern with energy, promising immense improvements in the service of the country. and calling on the people for their support. A petition signed by ten thousand Romans has been addressed to the Emperor Napoleon, praying the withdrawal of the French troops. The petition has been sent to Paris. Accounts from Spain say that Santana continues in command of the military in San Domingo. In Hungary the collection of taxes by military execution has been suspended, the Diet guaranteeing the amount due till the question of taxes shall be settled. Prince Orloff, the President of the Russian Council of Ministers, is dead. In England the American question was still paramount. Minister Clay's letter attracts considerable attention. The rumors are repeated of vessels going out from Liverpool to engage in privateering
Was the United States a National or a Federal Government. There is little doubt that the self-styled Republican party will sustain their chief, or rather their supple instrument, Abraham Lincoln, in the avowed purpose of obliterating State lines as far as his power extends, and making this a consolidated Government.--Nationalism is now the cuckoo note which is sounded by the Usurper at home and by his facile representatives abroad. Mr. Clay, of Alabama, well observed in a speech during the last Presidential canvass that there was the such word as nationalism in the political vocabulary of the United States. It was foisted into it by men who intended thereby to impress upon the public mind certain political principles at variance with the true republican, State-rights theory of the Government, which was not national, but federal, as designed by its framers in the Federal Constitution. In support of this position, the secret journals of the Convention that framed the Constitutio
The Clay statue --We have been informed that this statue, which graces the western portion of the Square, has been lately subjected to so much handling by visitors that the marble has become much discolored. We have been requested to call on the ladies, to whom the statue has been entrusted for safe keeping, to do their duty. We don't know how they will set about it, unless they erect additional barriers around the effigy of the great Kentuckian. The ladies, however, are futile in ingenious expedients, and may devise some way to prevent a mutilation of the statue, without giving offence to the people.
s, Floyd, Gilmer, McDowell and Wise, were named after Virginia Governors subsequent to Independence. Some of these citizens afterwards occupied still more distinguished positions.

ut we are not willing to surrender up our property, liberty and lives to an unconstitutional and intolerant act of our Legislature. Gen. Sam Houston, in a speech delivered in Texas, a few days since, said: "However much he might regret the election of Lincoln, still, if constitutionally elected, he ought to and should be inaugurated. 'Yes! they would have to walk over his dead body if he was not.'" The Governor was very severe on Calhoun and South Carolina, but landed Benton, Clay, and others. He never missed an opportunity to give a thrust, and heap abuse upon South Carolina and her doctrines. The brig that hoisted the Palmetto flag in the harbor of Charleston this week, was not from Boston, but from Newburyport, Mass., and belongs to the Messrs. Cushing, a firm of which the Hon. Caleb Cushing is a member. W. H. T. Walker, Brevet Lieutenant in the U. S. Army, has resigned his commission to be a candidate for Colonel of the Augusta (Ga.) Volunteer Battalion
