Contesting aN Exucrion.—James Gallagber. an administration candidate for the Assembly. from San Francisco, who was defeated by S. 8. Tilton, a Republican candidate, bas filed paper in the Twelfth District Court, contesting the election. He sets forth the following reasons : Ist. That the return of the votes received for affiant, (Gallagher,) at the last election, in the Seventh Precinct, is incorrect; that, aecording to said returns, the total number of votes received there for affiant was 318; whereas, be says. more than 318 legal votes were received for affiant there. 2d. That the returns of the Ninth Precinct were not deposited in the office of the County Clerk, according to lew; but a paper purporting to be the said returns was unlawfully sub. stituted, and that said paper eo substituted does not set forth a just and true returo of the votes received at said Ninth Precinct, 3d. That the count of the votes received by the officers thereof in the several Precincts, was not had in accordance with law. Mr. Gsllagher could also. bave added with much force— 4th.

The politician and the ambitious man of the world, as he appeared to most people, was the worst side of his character. His intellect was of the quickest and most comprehensive order, and his will was so powerful as to enable him to concentrate his whole mind on any given subject. Hence, in the midst of the most excitin ne tical contest, he could at will withdraw his min m it, and give the closest attention to whatever he was reading. His active intellect compelled him to read, for he had little relish for vulgar amusements, and his tastes always inclined him to be ve’ much alone. He was always an ascetic in his life and habits. His passions and appetites were as completely subject to his will as ever were Napoleon Bonaparte’s. Accordingly, he read immensely. Of classic English literature he had read everything, and what he read he analyzed, weighed and Eb ered. His nights were spent over “the grand old masters.” No one who did not know him intimately would have supposed, on meeting him in the street, that he had spent half of the night preceding in reading the most abstruse poetry, ‘Yet very likely such was the fact. The works of all the great poets were as familiar to him as household words, His tastes led him to admire the weird-like, subtle and mysterious, Of all the English poets, he especially admired the mystic, spiritual, incomprehensible Shelly. Tennyson, too, was a great favorite of his; so was Wordsworth. But how few of those who supposed that they knew him well had — idea of his righ stores of classic knowledge? He had such a disgust and aversion to anyining looking like pedantry or affectation, that only very few, and those his most intimate and trusted friends, were aware how extensive was his reading and how general his knowledge of books and men. He also felt his want of an carly education and distrusted himself very much when books an literature were under discussion. Yet as he grew older, and came more in contact with men, he more fully appreciated his own powers; and had he lived, he would have attained a high position in other fields than that of politics. Tn speaking of the habits and tastes of the honored dead, we speak that we do know. We have seen many men of eminence, and have looked upon the faces of nearly all the great men of this generation; and in all the qualities that make up the et ted men admire for courage, nerve, and unhesitating devotion to principle, we have seen none who equaled David C. Broderick.—[S. F. Times. A Comprtent CanpIpAtn.—lIt seems to be generally admitted that the Lecompton candidates for office are very competent men=ithat is, they are very competent to be candidates. One of this sort was running on the Lecompton ticket in a northern county, (as we are informed by a gentleman from . the region hinted at) in the late campaign. He ran . for the office of County Surveyor, and when the . result was generally acknowledged to be in favor of the Lecompton side, he commenced his preparations for donning the official mantle of his predecessor. He labored, however, under one great drawback, and that was, that he knew nothing at all, either of surveying or anything else. Determined to post himself in time, he rushed over to the house of the existing Incumbent, who was engaged in drifting a . large mining claim, and begged to be instructed in . the rudiments of arithmetic and the art of surveying, . As an inducement, he offered to “drift” for his proposed instructor during the day, if the latter would teach him at night, The agreement was made, and the work went on, the “drifting” by day and the and it may well be believed, that under this system the physical and mental strength of our hero was retty severely taxed, Uncomplainingly, however, ne pushed on with his diurnal and nocturnal tasks, until the expiration of the time specified. After it was announced that the votes were counted, he employed a notary to draw up his bond, obtained his securities, &c., and went to take his office, when to his profound astonishment, he was politely informed that he was not elected, but on the contrary, had been beaten by nearly three hundred votes, His instructor has said nothing of his qualifications asa scholar, but speaks highly of him asa day laborer.—[Marysville Democrat. SLAvGHTER or EmrGnants.—The Jacksonville (Oregon) Sentinel, of Oct. 1st, has the following: News was brought us yesterday by G. Abbott, Indian Agent, of a fearful slaughter of emigrants at . Tule Lake. Abbott received information of this . massacre from a trusty Klamath Lake Indian, who . came to town yesterday noon. He states that the . massacre was committed about two weeks ago. . His story is, that it was a small band of emigrants . consisting of men, women, and children, who were . on their way hither. At Tule Lake they were at. tacked by a eed of Modoc Indians. The men and . women were killed at once, the savages reserving But seeing other emigrant trains passing a day or two after, the Indians became apprehensive of the discovery by them of the . . slaughter, and dispatched the youthful victims. The . animals were also killed, and the property seized . taken to the islandin ‘Tule Lake, where it is still kept.

As with individuals, virtue . is the bandmaid of bappiness, eo with commu. . . nities, morality is inseperable from prosperity. . Where all the wealth of a city is held by a few ; men, crime and disorder must inevitably exist; . but where property is divided ap amongst the . masses, eack man holds an interest in the eom. munity, which interest by a eorollary, makes . . bim jealous of its character and morality. It should, therefore, be a source of gratification . to all. to know that the real property of San Franciseo is being rapidly distributed among {the masses, Within the past three or four ' months various large tracts of land have been . subdivided into homestead lots, and sold under the hammer. At these sales, the principal hol. ders were men of small means, but of industri}ous and fragal babits. Having saved from} . their earnings a few bundred dollars, they have . . shown a commendable desire to add te the gen. eral prosperity by investing in homesteads, and . thereby permanently associating their names . . with the freeholders of our city. These men . . will make improvements upon their properties . which improvements will increase the value of . . } all property. Being permanently identified with our prosperity, tbey will bring here their . families and increase our population. Through them business will expand; the necessities for . home manufactures aud products will increase workshops. and swell the receipte of the farmer. They will become a powerful element in stopping np the semi-montbly gold leak, and in no} interest and pursuit in the State.—8. F. Call.

Daring the day a row broke out between some of the firemen and some gamblers. which ended in a general riot. leading to the sacking of several gambling hells. and the maltreatment of a number of the “knights of the pack’’ by the b’boye The gamblers defended themselves with fire-arms, but were soon overpowered by bumbere, Manvracrurs oF Imitation Wines.—At the north-western eorner of the Mediteranean, where the blue waves of the Gulf of Lyons beat upon the suany sbore of Languedoe, stands the smiling and prosperous little town of Cette. Its barbor is convenient, and usually crowded with shipping, displaying the flags of many nations. A stranger is often at first sight, puzzled to determine what may be the particular branch of trade to which the inbabitants are indebted for their wealth. The warehouses are numerous, the stores are commodious; there are no beggars, and there is no appearance in any part, of indigence or idleness. Among the craftsmen, perhaps, a preponderance of coopers is observable ; vast indeed is the consumption of staves and hoops, Logwood here isalso used largely, cider extensively, sugar not a litUe ; Cheropiga and Benicarlo are imported in great quantities, but never leave Cette under the original names. To be brief, within the limits of this little Mediterranean seaport, and from the crude materials above enumerated are produced in enormous quantities, imitations of every known vintage: Claret, Hocheimer, Jobanniberg, Burgundy, Champaigne, Moselle, (sparkling or stil!) Maderia, Lachrymm Christi, Constantia, Humble Port, or Imperial Tokay. It matters not how rare nor bow choice the original sample may be, so accurate is. the palate, so nice the skill of this little colony of thrifty wine merchants, that they can, with more than Chinege precision, imitate the flavor and copy the color of the required fluid; nay, even the form of the bottle in which the genuine wine is ordinarily met with, so that an experienced judge is not unfrequently imposed upon. A bad vintage, or even a succession of bad seasons, is regarded thereas rather a blessing than a misfortune. The price of wine naturally rises, but the cost of ingredients used by the manufacturer of Cette remaining pretty nearly the same, he is enabled to supply bis customers with increased advantage to himself. Little, therefore. does he pray for ao abundanoe of grapes or a genial September sun, Let but the cider crop be copious, and the Bay of Campeche yields liberally its usefal stores, and be will take care that the eellars of England sball not want replenishment with the finest Port. Triat By Jcery.—The Janesville Gazette gives a notable instance of the justice and impar. tiality of the trial by jury: A prisoner was on trial in that city for assault and battery. At eleven o’clock in the evening the jury retired to their room. On the first ballot they stood four for conviction aud two for acquittal, A long consultation followed, One of those who were in favor of acquittal was convinced of bis error by the logic of his brethren, and changed his vote. A long panse ensued, Five jurymen were now for conviction, and one—Mr, L.—was for acquittal, But L. is a clear-headed man, and was determined to staud up like a philosopher and not change his vole unless something should occur to convince him that he was wrong. He listened to the lawyers more attentively than any of bis brethren, and relied upon the statements whieh they had made, but in the meantime he had forgotten the greater portion of the evidence. For awhile L. seemed to be confused, but finally resolved to be calm and deliberate. At last he called for the complaint, He read along to the words “the defendant then and there assaulted and beat,’’ when his face flashed with a look of evident surprise, aud he addressed his fellow jurymen as follows: “Is this a case of assault and battery ?’? He was told that it was, “H—Il,”? said he, I supposed it was an action for obstructing the highway. Gentle men, We are agreed; that prisoner must be convieted,”’ —— A Pronivic Nearo Famr.y.—The Memphis Avalanch has diavovered a most prolific and . certainly well-branched family. Such a family wouldn’t take much time to stock all the plantations of the South with ‘hands.’ The head of this family is living in Chickasaw county, Mississippi, on the plantation of Col. Duncan Hubbard, and is now considerably over one hundred years of age. She was a woman and a mother during the war of the revolution. Her name is Patesey, Itis related of the ola worman, that a few Sundays ago, becoming impatient at the slow progress made by some of the younger negroes in hitebing up a team which was to convey her to church, some two miles dietant from her master’s plantation, she started off on foot, at a brisk rate, walking the whole distance, and reaching the church before the others who started with her, The number of ber descendants is truly astonishing, ebe having no less than three hundred and one livjing children, grandebildren, great grandchildred. and great-great grandchildren, A large number of the descendants—perhaps one-third of the whole—bave died. Her oldest son, a robust healthy man, died recently at the age of ninety years, and her youngest living cbild is over seventy years old. One of her sons, “Uncle Billy,’’ is the father of sixteen ehildren, and these children have now living eighty descendants, Patsey, the maternal ancestor, of all thie army of men, women and children, still lives in the enjoyment of a ripe old age, surrounded by every comfort which a kind and indulgent master can bestow, and respected by all who know her, white as well as black, Cook In Paris.—The following information from the pen of a Paris correspondent of the Alta will attract attention ; There are here now @ considerable number of the Haytien nobility, who fell from power, and rank, and title, with the Emperor Soulonque, atid have come to France to wait for the return of their master to the Imperial throne of Hayti. Walking upon the Boulevard yesterday, I witnessed a sight which would certainly not have been very agreeable to a gentleman brought up with strong prejadices against color, In an open barouche drawn by fine black horses, but which were driven by white drivers in blue livery, sata huge black man, with his wife, a shade or two lighter, He was dressed in a magnificent uniform, govered with gold and decorations, and was evidently some high exedignitary of the Haytien ex-Empire, but whether the Duke de Lemonade or Count de Sodawater I did not ascertain. But there is Dn) prejudice against color exhibited here, and it is not anusnal to see colored men walking in the street with elegantly dressed white women, and it attracts no ,particular attention; and I saw in one of the most fashionable restaurants, a few days since, a couple dining together, the gentleman as black as ebony, and the lady fair and white as a snow drift. But, az the French say, chacun ason gout !

Veroon has been already paid to Mr, Washington, leaving only about $30,000 to be paid to complete the purchase, Ex-Presipent Vax Buren is writing bis“Life end Times,” WHOLE NO. 315. Gen. Houston and the Ladies, : The Providence, (R. I:) Post accounts for the election of Gen. Sam. Houston, as Governor of Texas, by his electioneering hb to the ladies. The old campaigner made a characteistic speech to bis fellow-citizens at N of which the editor of the Post says, “this single speech did the work—all that needed to be done, after planting bimself fairly and a against the slave trade,’’? The paragraph which he addressed to the ladies, after concluding his speceh to the sterner sex, is a whole of itself, and ought to eleet any man who could utter it. We give it as we find it in an Atlantic exchan; paper, and pronounce it the most beautiful tribute to woman that ever fell from the lips of @ politic'an: “Laprus: I know that politics are always uninteresting to you, yet I believe you have in their general result an abiding interest. It is always & gratification to me to behold my fair countrywomen in assemblages like these. It is a guarantee that their husbands, and fathers, and brothers are men of intelligence and refinemeat, who appreciate their mental capacities, and desire their countenance in their undertakings. Your presence exercises a calming influence upon those antagonisms which are too often engendered in the heat of political contests, All parties desire your a he smile, and therefore all are ouenaetinek y your presence. I know that in the direct administration of political affairs you have no share; but yet, reigning as Pens do supreme in the realm of love, your influence often controls the destitiy of nations, Woman’s love is the great lever which raises men to action, “The General, as he plans the strategic combinations which are to ensure victory, looka forward to a recompense dearer than the laurels upon bis brow; the soldier, as he tradges along the dreary march, or mingles in the scenes of the battle field, even with death around him, forgets awhile the carnage, and turns his thoughts to the fond girl he left behind him; the mariner, tempest-tossed, driven by rude waves, sings merrily aloft as he thinks of his little cottage by the shore, where his wife and dear ones await him; the statesman, as he devises, amid deep and painful thought, plans of government which are to tell upon his own and his country’s fame. never loses sight of the joys which await him when eabinet councils are over, and he enters the portals of home; the sentinel, as he paces his weary watch, loves the moonlight tramp, that he may look, beneath its rays, at the dear memento of a mother’s or a sister’s love. Over man, in all bis relationship. the influence of woman hangs like a charm, Deprive us of your inflence, which dignifies ne and stimulates us to noble deeds, and we become worse than barbarians. Let it be ours, and we can brave a cannon’s mouth, or face danger in ten thousand forme, You stimulate all that is good, You check us in ignoble purposes, You have also an important influence on posterity. The early impressions which the ebild receives from you outlive all the wiedom of later days, Sages may reason and philosophers may teach, but the voice which we heard in infancy will ever come to our ears, bearing a mother’s words and a mother’s counsels,— Continue to instillinto your children virtue and patriotism. Imbue them with a proper veneration for the fathers of liberty, Teach them to love their country and to labor for their country’s good, as the great end of their ambition, Bid them proudly maintain their institutions, Point them to the deeds of their ancestors. Make these their escutcheon, and bid them hand it down to their children as free of stain as it came to them. Do this, ladies, and your influence will not be lost in the future, In the language of the poet it will be said: ‘Woman is lovely to the sight, As gentle as the dews of even ; As bright as morning's earliest light, And spottess as the snows of Heaven.’'’ Tue ATLANTIC TeLeGRaPH.—The Philadelpb'a North American, after stating that recent experiments and investigations seem to establish that the failure of the Atlantic telegraph was owing to the defective construction of the cable in part, but still more to the negligenge with which it was used after it was made and was yet on shore, adds as follows; But distegarding the responsibilities imposed upon them, the stupid British in charge of the cable, allowed it to be ruined before embarkation ; for it now turns out that the gutta percha had become melted by exposure to the sultr heat of a midsummer sun, instead of being put under a shed, as the directors had intended and ordered. Thus the conductor was twisted the coils, and in many places weakened, and the insulation destroyed. Worse still, this injury was knowa before embarkation, and yet the cable was suffered to go out, though an expert electrician might have known that tt would result in a failure. The defects in it are easily discoverable in the remnant left, after this were put into use lately at St. Louis, Mo., for the cable crossing the Mississippi river, to connect with the telegraph through Illinois, and vm failed completely : and in eutting up the cable in New York, for charms, greet defeets were discovered in it. Eveerniciry vs. Spinrrs.—Horace Blair informs the Boston Investigator of some interesting experiments he made to test the presumed electrical origin of spirit rapping and table ti ping. He fitted up an apparatus to test the power of vitalized electricity, and found that the currents of a stronger or weaker capacity, owing to the strength of the operator, would pacs off to the machine and set it in motion; and when a stronger magnet was placed touching any of the points of the operator, say elbow, shoulder, er any of the joints, the current thereby was drawo from the apparatus and left motionless. Now, to test the experiment still farther, he plaeed a table on the floor, and eeated several persons around it, placing their hands on the table with considerable pvessure, and when the table became charged, being conductor for electricity, a slight creaking was heard, which he termed knocking. The pressure was continued sometime longer, till the table began rocking. He then placed a powerfal magnet on the table, drawing off the current of detached vitaliged eclegtricjty, apd the table became motionless, Many other experiments he tried with the same result, and his opinion is that the whole thing called Spiritual rappings may be reduced toa science, if men would Jeave off the marvelous and take thinge in their natural way; for he considers all things as comIng from nature, having natural causes and producing nataral effects, Dovotas’ Frrenps Gorxne To CuarLeston.—A correspondent of the Charleston Nows, writing from Milwaukie, alluding to the Charleston Convention, says : “Wisconsin will senda dejegation of five hundred of ber Democratic sons to accompany the delegates of the State Convention to be chosen next month, These five hundred are ali Douglas Democrats. Minnesota sends a delegation of three hundred Douglas men, Michie gan eight bundred, Iowa Give bundred, Ohio one thousand, Illinois fifteen hundred, Penneylvania one thousand, New York one thousand, and nearly all ihe New England States one thousandeach. This is a secret plan; and it is understood that Douglas will have at least twenty thousand friends io Gharleston during ' the Convention,”’

Contesting aN Exucrion.—James Gallagber. an administration candidate for the Assembly. from San Francisco, who was defeated by S. 8. Tilton, a Republican candidate, bas filed paper in the Twelfth District Court, contesting the election. He sets forth the following reasons : Ist. That the return of the votes received for affiant, (Gallagher,) at the last election, in the Seventh Precinct, is incorrect; that, aecording to said returns, the total number of votes received there for affiant was 318; whereas, be says. more than 318 legal votes were received for affiant there. 2d. That the returns of the Ninth Precinct were not deposited in the office of the County Clerk, according to lew; but a paper purporting to be the said returns was unlawfully sub. stituted, and that said paper eo substituted does not set forth a just and true returo of the votes received at said Ninth Precinct, 3d. That the count of the votes received by the officers thereof in the several Precincts, was not had in accordance with law. Mr. Gsllagher could also. bave added with much force— 4th.

The politician and the ambitious man of the world, as he appeared to most people, was the worst side of his character. His intellect was of the quickest and most comprehensive order, and his will was so powerful as to enable him to concentrate his whole mind on any given subject. Hence, in the midst of the most excitin ne tical contest, he could at will withdraw his min m it, and give the closest attention to whatever he was reading. His active intellect compelled him to read, for he had little relish for vulgar amusements, and his tastes always inclined him to be ve’ much alone. He was always an ascetic in his life and habits. His passions and appetites were as completely subject to his will as ever were Napoleon Bonaparte’s. Accordingly, he read immensely. Of classic English literature he had read everything, and what he read he analyzed, weighed and Eb ered. His nights were spent over “the grand old masters.” No one who did not know him intimately would have supposed, on meeting him in the street, that he had spent half of the night preceding in reading the most abstruse poetry, ‘Yet very likely such was the fact. The works of all the great poets were as familiar to him as household words, His tastes led him to admire the weird-like, subtle and mysterious, Of all the English poets, he especially admired the mystic, spiritual, incomprehensible Shelly. Tennyson, too, was a great favorite of his; so was Wordsworth. But how few of those who supposed that they knew him well had — idea of his righ stores of classic knowledge? He had such a disgust and aversion to anyining looking like pedantry or affectation, that only very few, and those his most intimate and trusted friends, were aware how extensive was his reading and how general his knowledge of books and men. He also felt his want of an carly education and distrusted himself very much when books an literature were under discussion. Yet as he grew older, and came more in contact with men, he more fully appreciated his own powers; and had he lived, he would have attained a high position in other fields than that of politics. Tn speaking of the habits and tastes of the honored dead, we speak that we do know. We have seen many men of eminence, and have looked upon the faces of nearly all the great men of this generation; and in all the qualities that make up the et ted men admire for courage, nerve, and unhesitating devotion to principle, we have seen none who equaled David C. Broderick.—[S. F. Times. A Comprtent CanpIpAtn.—lIt seems to be generally admitted that the Lecompton candidates for office are very competent men=ithat is, they are very competent to be candidates. One of this sort was running on the Lecompton ticket in a northern county, (as we are informed by a gentleman from . the region hinted at) in the late campaign. He ran . for the office of County Surveyor, and when the . result was generally acknowledged to be in favor of the Lecompton side, he commenced his preparations for donning the official mantle of his predecessor. He labored, however, under one great drawback, and that was, that he knew nothing at all, either of surveying or anything else. Determined to post himself in time, he rushed over to the house of the existing Incumbent, who was engaged in drifting a . large mining claim, and begged to be instructed in . the rudiments of arithmetic and the art of surveying, . As an inducement, he offered to “drift” for his proposed instructor during the day, if the latter would teach him at night, The agreement was made, and the work went on, the “drifting” by day and the and it may well be believed, that under this system the physical and mental strength of our hero was retty severely taxed, Uncomplainingly, however, ne pushed on with his diurnal and nocturnal tasks, until the expiration of the time specified. After it was announced that the votes were counted, he employed a notary to draw up his bond, obtained his securities, &c., and went to take his office, when to his profound astonishment, he was politely informed that he was not elected, but on the contrary, had been beaten by nearly three hundred votes, His instructor has said nothing of his qualifications asa scholar, but speaks highly of him asa day laborer.—[Marysville Democrat.

His story is, that it was a small band of emigrants . consisting of men, women, and children, who were . on their way hither. At Tule Lake they were at. tacked by a eed of Modoc Indians.

It should, therefore, be a source of gratification . to all. to know that the real property of San Franciseo is being rapidly distributed among {the masses, Within the past three or four ' months various large tracts of land have been . subdivided into homestead lots, and sold under the hammer. At these sales, the principal hol. ders were men of small means, but of industri}ous and fragal babits.

Being permanently identified with our prosperity, tbey will bring here their . families and increase our population.

At Manchester N H., un the 15th Septemseventy-five fire companies from the surrounding towne, to take part in a contest for prizes. Daring the day a row broke out between some of the firemen and some gamblers. which ended in a general riot. leading to the sacking of several gambling hells. and the maltreatment of a number of the “knights of the pack’’ by the b’boye The gamblers defended themselves with fire-arms, but were soon overpowered by bumbere, Manvracrurs oF Imitation Wines.—At the north-western eorner of the Mediteranean, where the blue waves of the Gulf of Lyons beat upon the suany sbore of Languedoe, stands the smiling and prosperous little town of Cette. Its barbor is convenient, and usually crowded with shipping, displaying the flags of many nations. A stranger is often at first sight, puzzled to determine what may be the particular branch of trade to which the inbabitants are indebted for their wealth. The warehouses are numerous, the stores are commodious; there are no beggars, and there is no appearance in any part, of indigence or idleness. Among the craftsmen, perhaps, a preponderance of coopers is observable ; vast indeed is the consumption of staves and hoops, Logwood here isalso used largely, cider extensively, sugar not a litUe ; Cheropiga and Benicarlo are imported in great quantities, but never leave Cette under the original names. To be brief, within the limits of this little Mediterranean seaport, and from the crude materials above enumerated are produced in enormous quantities, imitations of every known vintage: Claret, Hocheimer, Jobanniberg, Burgundy, Champaigne, Moselle, (sparkling or stil!) Maderia, Lachrymm Christi, Constantia, Humble Port, or Imperial Tokay. It matters not how rare nor bow choice the original sample may be, so accurate is. the palate, so nice the skill of this little colony of thrifty wine merchants, that they can, with more than Chinege precision, imitate the flavor and copy the color of the required fluid; nay, even the form of the bottle in which the genuine wine is ordinarily met with, so that an experienced judge is not unfrequently imposed upon. A bad vintage, or even a succession of bad seasons, is regarded thereas rather a blessing than a misfortune. The price of wine naturally rises, but the cost of ingredients used by the manufacturer of Cette remaining pretty nearly the same, he is enabled to supply bis customers with increased advantage to himself. Little, therefore. does he pray for ao abundanoe of grapes or a genial September sun, Let but the cider crop be copious, and the Bay of Campeche yields liberally its usefal stores, and be will take care that the eellars of England sball not want replenishment with the finest Port. Triat By Jcery.—The Janesville Gazette gives a notable instance of the justice and impar. tiality of the trial by jury: A prisoner was on trial in that city for assault and battery. At eleven o’clock in the evening the jury retired to their room. On the first ballot they stood four for conviction aud two for acquittal, A long consultation followed, One of those who were in favor of acquittal was convinced of bis error by the logic of his brethren, and changed his vote. A long panse ensued, Five jurymen were now for conviction, and one—Mr, L.—was for acquittal, But L. is a clear-headed man, and was determined to staud up like a philosopher and not change his vole unless something should occur to convince him that he was wrong. He listened to the lawyers more attentively than any of bis brethren, and relied upon the statements whieh they had made, but in the meantime he had forgotten the greater portion of the evidence. For awhile L. seemed to be confused, but finally resolved to be calm and deliberate. At last he called for the complaint, He read along to the words “the defendant then and there assaulted and beat,’’ when his face flashed with a look of evident surprise, aud he addressed his fellow jurymen as follows: “Is this a case of assault and battery ?’? He was told that it was, “H—Il,”? said he, I supposed it was an action for obstructing the highway. Gentle men, We are agreed; that prisoner must be convieted,”’ —— A Pronivic Nearo Famr.y.—The Memphis Avalanch has diavovered a most prolific and . certainly well-branched family. Such a family wouldn’t take much time to stock all the plantations of the South with ‘hands.’ The head of this family is living in Chickasaw county, Mississippi, on the plantation of Col. Duncan Hubbard, and is now considerably over one hundred years of age. She was a woman and a mother during the war of the revolution. Her name is Patesey, Itis related of the ola worman, that a few Sundays ago, becoming impatient at the slow progress made by some of the younger negroes in hitebing up a team which was to convey her to church, some two miles dietant from her master’s plantation, she started off on foot, at a brisk rate, walking the whole distance, and reaching the church before the others who started with her, The number of ber descendants is truly astonishing, ebe having no less than three hundred and one livjing children, grandebildren, great grandchildred. and great-great grandchildren, A large number of the descendants—perhaps one-third of the whole—bave died. Her oldest son, a robust healthy man, died recently at the age of ninety years, and her youngest living cbild is over seventy years old. One of her sons, “Uncle Billy,’’ is the father of sixteen ehildren, and these children have now living eighty descendants, Patsey, the maternal ancestor, of all thie army of men, women and children, still lives in the enjoyment of a ripe old age, surrounded by every comfort which a kind and indulgent master can bestow, and respected by all who know her, white as well as black, Cook In Paris.—The following information from the pen of a Paris correspondent of the Alta will attract attention ; There are here now @ considerable number of the Haytien nobility, who fell from power, and rank, and title, with the Emperor Soulonque, atid have come to France to wait for the return of their master to the Imperial throne of Hayti. Walking upon the Boulevard yesterday, I witnessed a sight which would certainly not have been very agreeable to a gentleman brought up with strong prejadices against color, In an open barouche drawn by fine black horses, but which were driven by white drivers in blue livery, sata huge black man, with his wife, a shade or two lighter, He was dressed in a magnificent uniform, govered with gold and decorations, and was evidently some high exedignitary of the Haytien ex-Empire, but whether the Duke de Lemonade or Count de Sodawater I did not ascertain. But there is Dn) prejudice against color exhibited here, and it is not anusnal to see colored men walking in the street with elegantly dressed white women, and it attracts no ,particular attention; and I saw in one of the most fashionable restaurants, a few days since, a couple dining together, the gentleman as black as ebony, and the lady fair and white as a snow drift. But, az the French say, chacun ason gout ! Nico.as Lonawortu, the Cincinnati millionaire, was sitting on the steps of a drinking house the other day, with his hat between bis knees, waiting for a friend, when @ passing stranger dropped a quartef into bis bat, think ing hima beggar! Nick’s personal appearance is said to justify the inference. Mr. Vernoy.—The Mt. Vernon Record states that the work of putting Mt. Vernon in good condition has been commenced; also that $15,060 of the fourth and last instalment for the purchase of Mt. Veroon has been already paid to Mr, Washington, leaving only about $30,000 to be paid to complete the purchase, Ex-Presipent Vax Buren is writing bis“Life end Times,” WHOLE NO. 315.. Gen. Houston and the Ladies, : The Providence, (R. I:) Post accounts for the election of Gen. Sam. Houston, as Governor of Texas, by his electioneering hb to the ladies. The old campaigner made a characteistic speech to bis fellow-citizens at N of which the editor of the Post says, “this single speech did the work—all that needed to be done, after planting bimself fairly and a against the slave trade,’’? The paragraph which he addressed to the ladies, after concluding his speceh to the sterner sex, is a whole of itself, and ought to eleet any man who could utter it. We give it as we find it in an Atlantic exchan; paper, and pronounce it the most beautiful tribute to woman that ever fell from the lips of @ politic'an: “Laprus: I know that politics are always uninteresting to you, yet I believe you have in their general result an abiding interest. It is always & gratification to me to behold my fair countrywomen in assemblages like these. It is a guarantee that their husbands, and fathers, and brothers are men of intelligence and refinemeat, who appreciate their mental capacities, and desire their countenance in their undertakings. Your presence exercises a calming influence upon those antagonisms which are too often engendered in the heat of political contests, All parties desire your a he smile, and therefore all are ouenaetinek y your presence. I know that in the direct administration of political affairs you have no share; but yet, reigning as Pens do supreme in the realm of love, your influence often controls the destitiy of nations, Woman’s love is the great lever which raises men to action, “The General, as he plans the strategic combinations which are to ensure victory, looka forward to a recompense dearer than the laurels upon bis brow; the soldier, as he tradges along the dreary march, or mingles in the scenes of the battle field, even with death around him, forgets awhile the carnage, and turns his thoughts to the fond girl he left behind him; the mariner, tempest-tossed, driven by rude waves, sings merrily aloft as he thinks of his little cottage by the shore, where his wife and dear ones await him; the statesman, as he devises, amid deep and painful thought, plans of government which are to tell upon his own and his country’s fame. never loses sight of the joys which await him when eabinet councils are over, and he enters the portals of home; the sentinel, as he paces his weary watch, loves the moonlight tramp, that he may look, beneath its rays, at the dear memento of a mother’s or a sister’s love. Over man, in all bis relationship. the influence of woman hangs like a charm, Deprive us of your inflence, which dignifies ne and stimulates us to noble deeds, and we become worse than barbarians. Let it be ours, and we can brave a cannon’s mouth, or face danger in ten thousand forme, You stimulate all that is good, You check us in ignoble purposes, You have also an important influence on posterity. The early impressions which the ebild receives from you outlive all the wiedom of later days, Sages may reason and philosophers may teach, but the voice which we heard in infancy will ever come to our ears, bearing a mother’s words and a mother’s counsels,— Continue to instillinto your children virtue and patriotism. Imbue them with a proper veneration for the fathers of liberty, Teach them to love their country and to labor for their country’s good, as the great end of their ambition, Bid them proudly maintain their institutions, Point them to the deeds of their ancestors. Make these their escutcheon, and bid them hand it down to their children as free of stain as it came to them. Do this, ladies, and your influence will not be lost in the future, In the language of the poet it will be said: ‘Woman is lovely to the sight, As gentle as the dews of even ; As bright as morning's earliest light, And spottess as the snows of Heaven.’'’ Tue ATLANTIC TeLeGRaPH.—The Philadelpb'a North American, after stating that recent experiments and investigations seem to establish that the failure of the Atlantic telegraph was owing to the defective construction of the cable in part, but still more to the negligenge with which it was used after it was made and was yet on shore, adds as follows; But distegarding the responsibilities imposed upon them, the stupid British in charge of the cable, allowed it to be ruined before embarkation ; for it now turns out that the gutta percha had become melted by exposure to the sultr heat of a midsummer sun, instead of being put under a shed, as the directors had intended and ordered. Thus the conductor was twisted the coils, and in many places weakened, and the insulation destroyed. Worse still, this injury was knowa before embarkation, and yet the cable was suffered to go out, though an expert electrician might have known that tt would result in a failure. The defects in it are easily discoverable in the remnant left, after this were put into use lately at St. Louis, Mo., for the cable crossing the Mississippi river, to connect with the telegraph through Illinois, and vm failed completely : and in eutting up the cable in New York, for charms, greet defeets were discovered in it. Eveerniciry vs. Spinrrs.—Horace Blair informs the Boston Investigator of some interesting experiments he made to test the presumed electrical origin of spirit rapping and table ti ping. He fitted up an apparatus to test the power of vitalized electricity, and found that the currents of a stronger or weaker capacity, owing to the strength of the operator, would pacs off to the machine and set it in motion; and when a stronger magnet was placed touching any of the points of the operator, say elbow, shoulder, er any of the joints, the current thereby was drawo from the apparatus and left motionless. Now, to test the experiment still farther, he plaeed a table on the floor, and eeated several persons around it, placing their hands on the table with considerable pvessure, and when the table became charged, being conductor for electricity, a slight creaking was heard, which he termed knocking. The pressure was continued sometime longer, till the table began rocking. He then placed a powerfal magnet on the table, drawing off the current of detached vitaliged eclegtricjty, apd the table became motionless, Many other experiments he tried with the same result, and his opinion is that the whole thing called Spiritual rappings may be reduced toa science, if men would Jeave off the marvelous and take thinge in their natural way; for he considers all things as comIng from nature, having natural causes and producing nataral effects, Dovotas’ Frrenps Gorxne To CuarLeston.—A correspondent of the Charleston Nows, writing from Milwaukie, alluding to the Charleston Convention, says : “Wisconsin will senda dejegation of five hundred of ber Democratic sons to accompany the delegates of the State Convention to be chosen next month, These five hundred are ali Douglas Democrats. Minnesota sends a delegation of three hundred Douglas men, Michie gan eight bundred, Iowa Give bundred, Ohio one thousand, Illinois fifteen hundred, Penneylvania one thousand, New York one thousand, and nearly all ihe New England States one thousandeach. This is a secret plan; and it is understood that Douglas will have at least twenty thousand friends io Gharleston during ' the Convention,”’
