contemplated and provided for in an act'of
Assembly already passed.” He also advises
that a historical painting of the battle |of
Gettysburg be procured to be placed in the
State Capitol. 1,242 orphans of our soldiers
are now maintained and educated by the
State, and arrangements are being made for
increasing the number of these deserving re
cipients of assistance. The State finances
are shown to be in a good condition. Not
withstanding the expenditure of more than
$4,000,000 for military purposes, the State

Mississippi.—General Thomas G. Osborn,
of Illinois, has been murdered in cold blood
near Granville, by an organized band of Mis
sissippians, because they were determined
that Northern men should not settle in the
South. This movement has shown itself in
other directions. A distinguished gentleman
who had spent in all about half a million in
the South, and employed about 2500 negroes
on three or four plantations, called them all
together on the Ist of January, and told them
that he must give it all up, because his life

erous jury in the ease requested the city to
pay $486,000. The Supreme Court has
decided that the Chestnut Street bridge may
be built.
FINANCIAL.

the past two months,, have exceeded the im
ports by $11,000,000, while the excess for
three months is not farfrom $17,000,000.

poleon has positively intimated to the Wash
ington Cabinet bis willingness to withdraw
his troops from Mexico at any moment, on
condition that the United States will recog
nize Maximilian as the Emperor of Mexico.
Napoleon has had our ultimatum already on
that point. The Paris press of January

cessary arrangements with the Emperor Max

or to enter Portugal within three days.
The Government of Spain has disapproved of
the formation of a society in Cuba for the
slave trade.
Mexico. —The French have retaken Bag
dad, on the Rio Grande, and the Imperialists
are murdering all Liberalists who are taken
prisoners. Gen. Ortega, at San Antonio,
Texas, has protested against Juarez holding
the Presidency of the Mexican Republic.-;
On January 6th, President Juarez was still at
El Paso unmolested. There are rumors that
he has since crossed the Rio Grande into
Texas.

aded are Valparaiso and Caldera. The Spani

valued at $lOO,OOO. ;The steamer IF. R.
Garter blew up near Vicksburg on the 2d.
Many lives were lost The vessel and cargo
were worth $270,000.
More Favors from Neutral England.—
Investigations recently made by the Commis
sioner of Customs relative to the smuggling
on the Canadian border have exhibited tbe
fact that the hostile Indians of Minnesota and
Dakota, have for a long time past been sup
plied with rifles of the Enfield pattern, by
English smugglers.
Gen. Grant has given five thousand dollars
towards the construction of a new Methodist
Church in Washington, and Gen. Howard has
one thousand to the support of the new Con
gregational enterprise.
A Georgia paver assures us that-the dis
position in the South to read new books is
unexampled. We arc glad to hear it. We
hope also they will not wholly neglect the old
books. Let us Suggest the Spelling Book,
Lindley -Murray, and the. New Testament.
They are old; but they will be new down

Tho present volume is the first of a series, some
what on the plan of the “ Aimwell Stories,” so won
derfully popular, which will describe some of those
kingdoms, provinces, and countries least known to
young American readers, and will present facts in
such a manner as to interest and amuse while they
instruct the mind and improve the heart. Tbe author
delineates the scenery of the Mediterranean Islands,
with the characters, customs, costumes, and occupa
tions of their people in a graphic manner, records a
portion of their history, and gives familiar sketches
/>f some of their poets and painters. , The information
is oonveyed in the form of easy conversations between
a traveled uncle, whe«dives at Fonthill, his pleasant
country seat, and a group of nephews and niece£
These conversations are written out and furnished by
the oldest auditor, a school girl of sixteen, who inter
sperses them with descriptions of the family recrea
tions, their walks, drives, visits, guests and plays,
and also with the spicy stories told at various periods
for tho entertainment of the home circle, either by
its own members or by the visitors at the house.
These stories, as they appear in this volume, and as
they are prepared or planned for the succeeding ones,
although they form a subordinate feature, take a
wide range, and will, it is believed, be found both in
structive and amusing.
The series will embrace the Mediterranean Islands,
the Two Sicilies, Iloliand and Belgium, Normandy,
Brittany and La Vendee, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden
and Norway, Germany, Poland, the Old Republics of
Northern Italy, British India and the Islands scat
tered through tho various oceans.
Each volume will contain about three hundred

principal characters in the leading story which con
nects them will appear in all.

The property of this Company consists of nineteen
(19) valuable Leads or Mines, amounting to 41,000
lineal feet, all of which are situated upon the cele
brated Launder Hill, near Austin Nevada, and the
Hopkins Tunnel, which commences at the foot of
Launder Hill, and \yill pierce the hill from side to
side, running at right angles with the Silver Veins,
and will cut in its course upwards of 150 mines, (this
number being already located,) making this one of
the grandest enterprises ever offered in this or any
other country. Work upon this Tunnel is being
pushed forward with energy, and has already reached
upwards of 200 feet. The Superintendent anticipates
in a short time to be taking from the Mines large
quantities of ore. Shafts have been sunk upon the
various mines, some of which have reached the dis
tance of 75 feet. Ore from the same has assayed the
enormous sum of $lO,OOO to the ton (2000 Tbs.*) which
proves the immense richness of these mines. JSo
silver mine upon Launder Hill has ever failed, when
worked, to be immensely productive, and the average
yield of silver from the ore for. the year JSb5 was
larger than any other known district in theworld.

nobody anv good." and consequently congratulate

strated their superior fire-proof qualities in an ordeal
of unusual severity. The Safe you made for me some
time ago was iii the office of the Museum, on the
second floor, hack part of the building, and in the
hottest of the fire. After twenty-tour hours of trial
it was found among the debris, and on opening it this
day has yielded up its contents in very good order.
Books, papers. Policies of insurance, bank bills are
all in condition for immediate use, and a noble com
mentary on the trustworthiness of Herring's Fire
Proof Ssafes. Truly yours.
