The article entitled “ Ought Women to learn the Alphabet V’ is attributed to the pen of one who is known to favor “ Women’s Bights.” “In a Cellar” is an excellent production and will well repay a perusal. “ Bulls and Bears” is a continuation of an article com menced in the January number and is from the pen of one who understands his subject and can portray it in life-like scenes. “ The. Professor of the Breakfast Table” is another of the companions of the “ Autocrat,” and the expected, personage, intimated in the close of the present arti cle, leads as to imagine that he will be a character of more than common interest.

Many of the accounts of her sufferings appear almost incredible, but tbey are nevertheless true. To form a correct idea of them, you must read her Memoir, and even then yon can not conceive of their extent. We have perused tha book and take pleasure in recommending it to our readers. No one should be without a copy of it. It should bo road by every man, woman and child in the country. No one con read it without being edi fied and instructed, and made wise in things which pertain to their apiritoal and eternal Wel fare. It is a book which should-bo in every Sabbath School in the laud—not one copy only, bat half-a-dozen copies. Everything narrated therein is true and nnvarnished-r-no imaginary sufferings or ecstadee of bliss—th* simple state ment of an humble suffering Christian woman. We say to one and all, buy a copy of this work, and thereby attain a treasure and contribute to the support of one who is in every, way worthy. The proceeds of the sale of tho book is to be ap plied to the support of Miss Rankin, who, in consequence of her protracted sufferings, has been reduced to limited circumstances.

The Record printing business was disposed of to-day. The resolution rescinding the contract with R.

The score at the close stood as follows: Morphy 7; Andersaon 2; drawn 2. A man, whose limbs are entirely desti tute of muscles, sinews or flesh, weighs but fifty-five pounds, but is in robust health, hearty, cheerful, intelligent, and plays the fiddle with great vivacity, has been on exhibition in New Orleans.

The tastes of men, as exhibited in their habits of pleasure, are true indexes of their pas sions. Murderers do'not wear, roses in their bitUon-hplcs; villains, seldom, if ever, train viniis over cottage-doors; the beauties of Na ture find no sympathizing chord in their breast. tBT A sailor attended a Methodist meeting in 'New York, on Friday evening 1 ast, having a bottle of whiskey with him.

In the late terrible disaster on the Muscogee Bail Road, in which the cars were precipitated into a swollen torrent with a fearful destruction of hu man life, one of the passengers had the mitfor tune to lose bis wife and two children. He re marked the next day, in tbs presence of his fellow passengers, who, with himself were saved from the wreak as if by- miracle for 5 none of them could tell bow, that in addition ito the loss of his family, he had lost all his money, it hav ing been tied up in a belt (or security and buckled around his wife’s waist.. Daring the duy the waters subsided and the passengers, who remained in the neighborhood of the wreck) commenced a search for the dead bodies.. The body of the lady alluded to was found about a mile below the wreck, and upon examination it was ascertained that her dress had been torn open and the money belt robbed of it| contents, some seven hundred dollars. Fresh tracks were discovered in the mud, leading off from the body, which the searching party traced up, until they came upou one of their own number who had just met with so uiraculonsan escape from death, and who was present when his fellow pastenger told the story of his loss. He was immediately taken in hand, searched, and the entire amount found upon his person.

Of the by which this difference is made are mc%t outra geous. Pistols are charged at cadi; mus kets at $125 ; oats at $6 a bushelVhay at $l2O a ton, and other things in proportion. At the last session of Congress, when the debt was first brought to the notice of the Committee, the War Department recommended itspayment. bat Mr. Faulkner caused actionbn ti? matter to be deterred, in order that it mtght be fully investigated.'
