TEACHERS' INSTITIITE.-=PUrStlalat to a
call, the teachers of Lancaster county as
sembled in the Court House on Monday, at
10 o'clock A. M.
The Convention was called to order by
the President, David Evans, after which a
prayer was delivered by Luther C. Oberlin.
The President then made some appro
priate remarks, in which he referred to the
favorable auspices under which the Con
vention had convened. He congratulated
the teachers upon the happy condition in
which the country was, compared with that
when they had met one year ago, while the
nation was then still engaged in the great
contest which was agitating our people, and
the final result of the issue, the all-absorb
ing topic, to-day, after a struggle of over
four years, the rebellion is numbered among
the things that were. He also referred to
the happyleircumstance in which we are in,
that Providence has so bountifully blessed
us with an abundant harvest, all of which
has been gathered into our garners, and
which is a source of gratitude to an over
ruling Providence.

Adjourned to meet at 2 P. M.
The Institute was called to order 1) , 7 the
President, at 2P. M. The roll was called
and the absentees marked.
The Institute agreed to meet during tin
week at 9 A. M., 2 P. M., and 7 in the eve
The discussion of the subject, " Assistance
to Pupils," was next in order, and was par
ticipated in by Messrs. Pierce, Newpher,
Altorf and Brosius.
Prof. Brooks, of the Stale Normal School
at Millersville, then proceeded to deliver
a very practical lecture on the methods of
teaching "Common Fractions, - explaining
very lucidly the difference between the In
ductive and the Deductive methods and im
pressing upon the teachers the importance
of correct definitions and carefully worded
solutions.
Dr... Cutter was expected to open the after
noon session with a lecture on Physiology ,
but for some cause or other, failed to be
p e,eil
The first exercise of the evening was an
essay, by Mr. Hoffman, on " School Disci
pline." By practice and study all may
o learn to govern well. Advancement in
knowledge is the aim of ;the school, and
this cannot be secured without good order.
A disorderly school cannot be a good one.
The scholar who is controlled by good
school laws is very likely to become a good
citizen. Advocated the use of the rod, but
admitted that it was frequently appealed
to too often. Over all the efforts of the
teacher the Light of the cross should be
streaming, and thus he may be able to dis
cipline for time, and, also, for eternity.
Essay by Mr. Green. Subject—" Culti
vating True Patriotism." He thought that
the study of the Constitution of the United
States and of the State should lbrin a part
of the education of every pupil. The study
of history, and particularly the history of
our own country, was also an important
means conducive to patriotism. The sing
ing of patriotic and national songs, adorn
ing the school-room with appropriate pa
triotic pictures, and with the American
flag, were also alluded to by the essayist,
who, having served his country during the
recent- rebellion, and been a prisoner iu the
cells of Libby, referred to many very in
teresting and affecting circumstances con
nected with his experience while in the
army, and paid a merited tribute to the
labors of the Patriotic Daughters of Lan
caster.
Prof. Kidd was then introduced and lec
tured on Elocution. He spoke upon the
importance of modulation of the voice, of
variety in manner, and changes in the facial
expression to suit the character of the sub
ject matter under consideration. To interest
was the first point to be aimed at. The
manner of reading and declaiming of differ
ent persons was then illustrated in a very
humorous manner, and several selections
of prose and poetry recited by the Professor
in the style deemed by him appropriate.
Music.

HEARING OF DR, E. Osnonx BEFORE
COMMIASIONER hi Friday after
norn-Dr. E. Osborn had a hearing before l'.
S. Commissioner Smith charged with hav
ing in his possession, and concealing cer
tain false, forged and counterfeit United
States fractional notes, with the intent to ut
ter publish and sell the same. J. M. Hess, the
Postmaster at Safe Harbor, had for some time
suspected the accused, for being engaged in
some unlawful business, as he had kept up
an extensive correspondence by mail, re
ceiving a large number of letters, and send
ing off a great flimsily legal packages in let
ters.
The postmaster finally discovered a pac
age, which was opened, and on examina
tion found to contain several sheets of
spurious United States postal currency
notes of the denomination of twenty-five
cents. Mr. Hess informed the authorities,
after which the arrest was made,
Officer Starkey testified that in company
with officer Baker he arrested the accused

for something to drink at the bar where the
defendant resides, in Safe Harbor, Lancas
ter county. Defendant was about going
,down stairs to get the drinks when they
made the arrest. They then searched the
drawer in the bar-room, and in the back
part of the drawer eight Knited States frac
tional notes of the denomination of twenty
five cents were found. The house was then
searched, but they could find no circulars
in it. The defendant had a tit in the depot
at Lancaster, and when he recovered he
told me he had received the money found
in the drawer at Philadelphia.
The defendant stated that he • had been
employed to mail letters to the Western
country, for which he was to receive a com
pensation,
He received word from Phila. where to
ditfct the letters, but he did not know what
they contained. He also alluded to some
hottles of hair dye, and said a man bad
come to his house about three months since,
who told him he had a patent right, which
he had disposed of to a gentleman in the
West, and asked him how he would like to
enter into a light business for the purpose
of disposing of the same.
At this juncture the defendant was seized
with a fit and fell to the floor. Ills wife
sprang to his rescue, and further proceed
ings in the case were stayed:After recover
ing from the spasm, the Commissioner held
the defendant to answer in the sum of $1,500.
SHOOTING STARS.—Those persons who
are in the habit of observing the starry
heavens on these clear evenings have doubt
less noticed the recurrence of the phenom
ena usual at this season of the year. The
constellations now culminating, from eight
to twelve o'clock in the evening, are the
very brightest in the whole heavens. The
Hyades, and the Pleiades, in the constella-
Trn Taurus; the Elland Yard and other
right stars in Orion, may be nightly seen,
but the latter constellation does not culmi
nate till a late hour. By and by, it will
come to the meridian at early bed time.

COUNCIL PnocEnctlios,The City coun
cils met statedly in their Chambers, City
on Tuesday evening last.
In the Select branch Mr. Zahm presented
the following communication from th
Mayor, which was read: .
MAYOR'S OFFICE, 1
LANCASTER, Nov. 7, 1865. J
To the Select and Common Councils:
GENTLEMEN : I herewith transmit a com
munication received on the Ist instant from
A. Herr Smith, Escf., counsel for the ,par
ties named, claiming damages for injuries
received at the new sewer in East King
street, owing to alleged neglect in not hav
ing a guard or fence to' prevent accidents.
Mr. S., at my request, will delay adverse
legal proceedings until to-morrow, so as to
give Councils an opportunity of acting upon
his proposition at their meeting this even
ing. I therefore request your prompt at
tention to the matter, so that he may be ad
vised of your decision without delay.
By direction of the Water Committee, I
also invite your attention to an obstruction
in the current of the Conestoga, alleged to
have been erected at the Old Factory Dam
by Messrs. Boardman a: Co., the present
proprietors. It is stated that within the
last two or three years, a natural sluice at
the east end of the Dam, which had been
previously thereto kept open from time im
memorial, has been closed up to the height
of some six or seven inches above the other
portion of the structure—the consequence
of which is, Vat, upon the slightest freshet
in the stream, the natural flow of the water
is impeded above said point, dammed back
to the City Mill, and, as a result, the opera
tion of the wheels at the Water Works is
seriously retarded. Should this, upon fur
ther examination by a committee of Coun
cils, turn out to be the case, it will then be
necessary to take suchsteps as will remove
the obstruction and protect the rights of the
corporation.
I take pleasure in being able to inform
the Councils that both the Turbine Wheels
are now in operation—the first for about
one year, and the second for nearly three
weeks—at the Water Works, and that the
Water Committee have every reason to be
gratified with the success of the experiment
thus far. The wheels are performing ad-
mirably, and we have the strongest assu
rance that they will answer the purpose for
which they were intended. Should they
come up to public expectation and the an
ticipations of the Committee, at low stages
of water, a great saving will be effected in
the consumption of coal, and wt may expect
a full supply of water in the Basins with
out the agency of steam as a propelling
power. Respectfully, Are..,
GEO. SANDI2,RSON, Mayor.
LANCASTER, Nov. 1, 1885.

PETERSON'S MAGAZ IN E.—We aro in the
receipt of this popular Lady's Magazine for
December. It is a splendid number. The
principal engraving, "Papa, Papa," is one
of great beauty. For many years "Peter
son's Magazine has had a larger circula
tion than auy other monthly in the United
States. In ISii6 it will be greatly improved;
the reading matter will be increased, and
each number will contain a double-size
fashion plate, elegantly colored, with from
four to six figures, making " Peterson " the
cheapest in the world. The terms will re
main two dollars a year to single sub
scribers. To clubs it is cheaper still, viz:
Five copies for SS, eight copies for $l2, or
fourteen copies for $2O. To every person
getting up a club, (at these rates,) the pub
lisher will send an extra copy gratis. Spe
cimens sent (if written for) to those wish
ing to get up clubs. Address, post-paid,

A /loot) COMPARISON.—One of the New
York papers compares the publisher of a
newspaper who has to send to all parts of
the country to collect his pay, to a farmer
who would sell his wheat on credit, and not
more than a single bushel to one person. If
any farmer will try the experiment of dis
tributing the proceeds of his labor over two
or.three counties, with en additional one or
two for distant States, for one year, we will
guarantee that he will never, after that
year's experience, ask a publisher to sup
ply him with a paper a year or two without
pay for it.
FoUN I , DEA n.--An unknown man,
was found lead this morning on the
New Holland turnpike, near the village of
Eden, in Manheim township, this county,
by Mr. Samuel L. Leaman—a clerk in the
Recorder's Office—who reported the same
to Mr. Joseph C. Snyder, of this city, De
puty Coroner. Mr. S. immediately left to
hold an inquest over the body.
LANCASTER HORSE MARKET, MONDAY
NOVEMBER 13TH, 1865.—The trade has beeri
unusually dull during the past week. The
arrivals and sales at the different stables
are as follows:
Trout's.-13 on hand at last report. The
arrivals were 5 head bought in the county.
7 head were sold to New York buyers, leav
ing 11 head on hand.
Funk's.-15 on hand at last report. There
was only one arrival, that of 3 head from
Schellsburg, Bedford county, Pa. The sales
amounted to II head in the county, leav
ing 7 in the stables.
(opeland ct e 8.25 head in the stable
at last report. No arrivals. The sales were
15 head in the county, leaving 7 on hand.
Lemun, Murphy & Co.'s.—No arrivals or
sales.
A MAGNIFICENT FIRE HORN.—The most
magnificent Fire Horn ever brought to this
city is now on exhibition at Zahm Jack
son's Jewelry Store, North Queen st. It is
warranted a Standard Silver Fire Horn,
and is made of pure American silver dol
lars, with the exception of the mouth-piece,
which is of plated gold. The chain, cord
and tassels are of silver bullion. It is chased
and finished in the highest style of the art.
On the lower part of the horn is a repre
sentation of the sun shining in all his glory.
Its weight is thirty-six ounces, troy. It was
manufactured to the order of the Sun En
gine Co., No. 1, of this city, by Meadows
& Co., 310 Chestnut st., Philadelphia, and
will be presented to the Fire Company re
! ceiving the highest number of votes at the
I approaching Sun Fair. Its cost was $2,50.
We are very certain that there will be a
lively and honorable contest for it, and the
company receiving it will prize it highly,
not only because of its intrinsic value, but
because it w4l add largely to the depleted
treasury of the ho Snappers," one of the
most gallant and efficient companies in the
Fire Department.

A friend, who takes a great interest in
the Institute, sketches its high character as
follows:
It is the aim of the Principal and assist
ants to make the Institute the most useful
and efficient institutions of the kind in the
country. Moral, mental and physical
health and the symmetrical development
of every power is their daily study. They
strive to make each week an im
provement on the preceding. The
students are animated by a desire not to
excel one another, but to improve their own
former successes. They are taught to do
well, not through fear, or to please parents
and teachers only, but because it is right
and because God wills it. No positive rules
of behavior are laid down, but each mem
ber of the school is thrown upon her own
responsibility, and is expected to acknowl
edge any non-fulfilment of duty. No reci
tation is marked good unless absolutely
perfect. The unsucessful are encouraged,
the successful judiciously praised. It is
sincerely hoped that none will present
themselves for admission unless they are
determined to study faithfully and act the
)art of ladies. Ni) others will be long ro-
tained. The new quarter begins Thursday,
November Rith. Rev. 11. 11. Bruning is the
Principal, and he is ably supported by
Prof. William B. Hall, teacher of music,
and others. Parents are invited to call and
witness the daily exercises at any time.

To KEEP WORMS OUT OF DRIED FRUIT -
It is said that a small quantity of sassafras
bark mixed with dried fruit will keep it
free front worms for years:l The remedy is
easily obtained in many localities, and is
welt worthy an experiment, as it will not
injure the fruit in any iminner, if it does
not prevent the nuisaned,
PRUNE GRAPE VINES Now.—The books
generally advise winter pruning, or during
the month of February. The objections to
that season are, the work is liable to run
into March, which tines not allow time for
the cut to become dry enough to check ,the
Clow of sap a little later ; the weather is apt
to be cold, rendering it cold and uncom
fortal,le, besides the wood is frozen much of
the time, in which soil, it ought not to be
disturbed. There is suthcient leisure now,
the vines are pliable and can he handled at
will, while the mild weather will dry and
harden the cuts so that there will be no
danger of bleeding in spring. A pair of
pruning sheers will he found very coveni
ant in making the cuts—in fact, they are
almost it to the horticulturist in
trimming his shrubbery roses, honey
suckles, blackberries, &c., itt addition to
the grape vines.
PURCHASE OE A MILD PRoPERTY.--
Binkley's Mill properly, at Binkley's
Bridge, on the Conestoga about four miles
from this city, was sold at public sale yes
terday to John I. Hartman, Esq„ of the
Examiner, for $28,700. Mr. H. purchased
the property for the proprietors of the Er
rulksfreund, Erprcss and
hilclli
peneer, and several other gentlemen. The
intention of the new proprietors is to con
vert the same into a linst-class Paper Mill.
It has one of the finest water-powers in the
county.
SALE OF REAL Esr•A•rE.—A tract of land,
containing, 1 acres, with buildings, situa
ted in Manheim twp., near the village of
Eden, this county, and belonging to John
S. Becker, was sold yesterday to Mr. Ben
jamin AV. Harnish, of East Lampeter twp.,
for $4,200.
ACCIDENT.—A;:young man named Shaef
fer, residing in Church street, fell yesterday
evening from the roof which Mr. Hubley
has erected over the pavement in front of
his grocery store in Centre Square. lie re
ceived severe contusions about the head and
face. I)rs. Carpenter and Levergood were
called upon and rendered the necessary
medical aid.
Another—As an elderly man named John
Whittaker, employed at the Norris Locomo
tive Works, was dressing a grind-stone
yesterday morning, his left hand was caught
in the belting and the middle linger torn off
and two others badlyi crushed, rendering
the loss of the hind probable.
A nother.—This morning a young man,
an apprentice at the same works, whose
name we have been unable to learn, had
one of his hands caught in one of the lathes
and badly lacerated.
Fifth Avenue, New York, does not appear
to suffer much from secession influences.—
Receptions and parties are as numerous as
ever, and the increased demand from that
class for Mr. Speer's Samburg wine is as
tonishing. When the true analysis of its
properties was first published by James R.
Chilton & Co., those who could atibrd it im
mediately adopted its use in preference to
foreign wines. Prof. Chilton used it in his
own family, and has written to the public a
card recommending York Times.

with Dr. A. H. Carp_enfeir;.: o n Saturday
morning a week past, we called upon Mrs.
A. W. Fairer, residing on the corner of
Duke and Chestnut streets, who had been
afflicted for a number of months with
blotches and sores upon the haul, face and
body, resulting from the very impure state
of her blood, and had become almost totally
blind. Her sufferings were indescribable,
experiencing constant and intense pain,
frequently praying for death to come to her
relief. About three weeks ago her husband
picked up a small piece of a newspaper con
taining an advertisement of the Doctor's,
which he read to her. She had been treat
ed by several of our physicians, all of
whom gave her up, not being ableto render
her any relief. She immediately sent for
Dr. Carpenter, and after the daily use
for only three weeks of his Medica
ted Oxygenized Inhalations has rapidly
recovered, and will soon be restored to her
wonted health. The blotches and sores
have all disappeared, and her sight, -which
was so defective as to render her unable of
distinguishing the members of her own
family, except by the voice, is also rapidly
being recovered. We cheerfully make this
statement, and can vouch for its correctness.

The Execution of Captain Wirz.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—This morning
Father Boyle administered the sacrament
to Capt. Wirz, and Father Wigget, also of
the Roman Catholic church, then placed
upon the former the black cambric robe,
remarking as he did so: "I hope the robe
will be turned into a white one in the other
world." At 10:20 A. M., Capt. Wirz came
from his cell in the Old Capitol Prison, ac
companied by Provost Marshal Russell and
other officers, and Fathers Boyle and Wig
get, and passing between the lines of the
military guard they ascended the scaffold,
and the prisoner was then seated.
The scaffold was 12 feet square and 22 feet
high to the beam, with a trap 12 feet from
the ground. 't'he guard consisted of the
105th Regiment, Penn'a Volunteers, and
three detachments of the Veteran Reserve
Corps, under the command of Capt. Wal
bridge, the Military Superintendent of the
Old Capitol Prison.
There were several hundred persou.s
present besides the military, civilians hay
ing been admitted on special passes. Amid
profound silence Provost-Marshal Russel
proceeded to read the order of the War De
partment founded on the verdict of the
military court which tried the prisoner. He
was charged with and convicted of com

names are unknown, and who were then
engaged in armed rebellion against the
Coned States, maliciously, traitorously,
and in violation of the laws of
war, to itupair and injure the health
and destroy the lives by 8 1 4 1 1Jecting
to great torture and great suffering,: by con
fining in unhealthy and unwholesome
quarters ; by exposing to the inclemency of

of summer; by compelling the use of rill

and unwholesome food, of large numbers of
federal prisoners to wit: the number of about
45,050, held as prisooers of war at Ander
sonville, within the lines of the so-called
Confederate States, on or before the 27th of
Mafch 1664, and divers times, between that
day and 10th day of April, 1865, to the end
that the armies of the United States might
be weakened, and Unpaired, and that the
insurgents engaged in rebellion against the
sited States might be aided and comforted.
The order also states that the prisoner
was found guilty of the second
charge, namely, murder, in violation of the
laws and customs of war, and guilty of all
the specifications excepting the Iburth,
tenth and thirteenth, which set forth that
he killed a prisoner by shooting him with a
revolver, that he ordered a sentinel to tire
upon another with a revolver, and that he
beat another with a revolver so that he
died. The order concludes as follows :
Sentenee—And the Court do therefore
sentence him, I lenry Wirz, to be hanged by
the neck till he be dead, at such time
and place, as the President of the United
States may direct,lwo-thirds of the nrem

When the reading of the order was com
pleted, Wirz conversed with those on the
platform with seeming calmness and self
possession, and it was remarked that he
had a smiling countenance.
To his spiritual advisers he said: "1 ant
innocent. I have to die, but I can die like
a man. I have hope in the future. I have
nothing more to say,"
His legs and hands were then tied, the
noose passed around his neck, and the black
cap placed over his head. He stood erect,
without faltering, evidently having nerved
himself for the solemn event. Those on the
platform retired to the railing, leaving the
doomed man in the centre of the structure.
After a few moments of profound quiet,
the drop, at a preconcerted signal fell, the
sound thus occasioned having reached the
ears of the promiscuous crowds outside of
old Capitol grounds, but who were not
privileged to view the execution, it was re
sponded to by repeated shouts of approbation
The convict directly after falling was consid
erably convulsed in his legs, but the agony
was soon over. He hung about 15 minutes,
and was then cut down. his body was laid
upon a stretcher and conveyed to the
prison, where it was placed in a coffin and
transferred to Father Boyle for interment.
His neck was broken by the fall. All the
proceedings occupied about three-fourths
of an hour.
Wirz protested his innocence to the last
and exhibited no fear.

• TIM Poisoning Story.
Special Dispatch to The N. Y. Tribune.
WAsmxo , roN, Nov. 12, 1865.
All the heritage left by Wirz consisted
of four books—a Bible, a Testament, an
A'Kempis, and Tschoke's Meditations
on Life. In the well-worn Bible,
formerly in use in some hospital, he
wrote just before going to execution
MT DEAR WIFE: This Bible I send you.
You see the marks where I left off reading.
God bless you. Keep this Bible to remem
ber me. H. WIRZ.
Nov. 10, 1865.
The Testament bears the inscription,
"To Cora from her father, H. Wirz.
(Cora was his only daughter.) The in
scription in the Tschoke is,
"To my
dear children, Susan and Cornelia."
These were his step-children.
All his letters were left in charge of his
counsel, Mr. Schade, with an inscript
ion that he was "to make use of these
papers as you see proper." Whatever
we may think of - Wirz himself, there
can be no doubt of the innocence of his
wife and children, now left utterly des
titute. If any persons desire to contri
bute any thing for the family, it can be
sent to Louis Schade Esq., Washington,
who will carefully forward it and re
turn the receipt of the family. As an
evidence of the affection and education
of Wirz, we append his last letter, writ
ten just on the eve of execution:

tell you what I have suffered when I thought
about you and the children! I must leave

eries of a cold, cruel world. Lise, do not
grieve, do not despair; we will meet again
in a better world. Console yourself; think
as I do—that I die innocent. Who knows
better than you that all these tales of cruel

why should I not say it? great many

them that 1 am not guilty, that I have

often, and rebelled against Thee. Qh, let

The body of Wirz was deposited in its
final resting place in the
,•ard of the Old

The burial, was of course, a private
one, no spectators being present. His
body was fittingly interred beside that

why he did not put an end to his existence,

_ill About Hog Packing
LOUISVI LLE, Nov. 10.—Notwithstanding
the season has arrived when the hog slaugh
tering business should be in full blast, there
is as yet little or nothing doing in that
branch of business. Packers decline mak
ing contracts at present figures and are hold
ing off for concessions on the part of farmers
and feeders. With present appearances the
season will be well advanced before the bu
siness will be fairly inaugurated.
N ALBANY, Nov. 9.—The prices ruling
at present are entirely above the views of
packers, and no contracts have yet been
made by our packers. The recent heavy
declines in the hog product at Cincinnatti
has had the effect to seriously affect prices,
and a heavy decline in hogs is anticipated.
The season will open here about the first of
December, by which time it is anticipated
will rule front $e to 0( 00 per rental gros j s.—
The heavy corn crop will have the ellect to
protract the season, as farmers will feed
their hogs until their surplus of corn is ex
hausted. The result of this will be that hogs
the present season will average much hea
vier than last, and will probably make up
in weight what may be lost in number.
C INC I NNATI, Nov. 11.—The arrivals of
hogs, as reported hi the books of the Mer
chants' Exchange, were 7,000 head. This,
however, included the receipts by the Cov
ington and Lexington railroad for the past
three days, the arrivals by this rtd alone
footing up 6,350 head. The market is not
as strong as it was yesterday, and packers
are expecting prices to come gradually
down to their views of the real value of the
animal. Many of them are already busy,
and more are prepared to commence when
ever they can see their way clear f. a. a re
munerative business. Many of the hogs
now being slaughtered are those contracted
for some time ago at $ll.OO per rental gross,
and there is enough of them to keep the
packers who have commenced operations
busy for some time. A large number of
hogs are offered for future delivery, but at
prices which packers do not feel warranted
in paying. Small lots were sold at the fol
lowing rates: :iOO head, 235 ins average,
$13.73 net: Lou head, 235 It'. ;iverage, $14.00
net ; 130 head, 300 ll,s average, $11.45 gross,
and various lots of light weights at prices
ranging from $lO.OO to $10.70 gross.
Cificaoo, Nov. 11.—A want of animation
or buoyancy has characterized the provision
trade for the past week. It has not, how
ever, lacked interest in some of its features.
The prices paid for hogs to farmers and
speculators in former years has been gen
erally regulated by packers and shippers,
based upon the current worth of the pro
duct, and, to an extent, by the prospects.
This season, however, augurs differently,
raisers and holders of hogs, are now in their
turn, trying to assume the power of being
able to make good their views, as to what
the animal should be worth.
Prices are firm and range from 12c.
for medium to good. From the Ist of Octo
ber the receipts to date totals, 124,871, and
the shipments 88,359, leaving for packing
purposes 30,512; taking corresponding dates
last year the receipts were 22*-,311, and the
shipments 90,105, leaving in packers hands
132,206, which shows a decrease of 97,540 in
receipts, and 05,604 in packing.
The Infferenee----Sugar, Corn, Sc
A letter from New Orleans, October
20, asks : Are you aware of what the
people of the united States are now
paying to foreigners for what they used
to get from their own countrymen and
their own soil ? The answer is :
In 18-59 we furnished you twenty-five
millions of dollars' worth of sugar at
five and six cents a pound—the best
sugar in the world. For that sugar you
are now paying the slaveholders of Cuba
and Brazil one hundred millions of
dollars ; and this sum, except a very
small amount paid in exports, has to be
paid in gold. And of the twenty-five
millions our planters used to receive
from you for their sugar, your people
used to manage to get back the greater
portion of it in payment for your corn,
your pork, clothing, shoes, machinery,
agricultural implements, and a thous
and other things which we either had not
the means or capacity,or it was not our in
terest to produce. You will find little de
mand now in the South forany of these;
first, because we have not the means of
paying for them ; and secondly, because
in the impracticability of cultivating
our great staples, by reason of the dis
ordered state of our labor, we have been
compelled to devote all our resources to
producing the means of subsistance,
ilritich - Llke-tiave_. filth erto: fount:it -
c o.n ven ie n t and profitable to buy from
you. Your' corn,
pork, manufactured
goods, &c., will find the South—once
your best—henceforth, at least for some
years, your poorest market Our farm
ers will have these articles to export. I
believe now there are more hogs in the
South than in the Northwest, including
Kentucky and Missouri. As soon as
the natural state of affairs is restored
and the temporary demand produced
by the dilapidated condition of the rail
roads ceases, these truths will be brought
home to you, and your great interest in
and dependence on the revival of the
culture of the great staples of the South
will be fully comprehended.
The Insurrection in Jamaica.
Our latest advices from the island of
Hayti bring interesting particulars of
the insurrection in Jamaica. The causes
which gave rise to armed resistance to
the Geffrard Government originated in
the high mountainous region of the
Surrey, Middlesex and Corumore dis
tricts, lying on the extreme northern
side of the island. They are to be found
in the general apathy of the negroes in
cultivating the immense sources of na
tural wealth with which Jamaica
abounds, involving the loss of a large
revenue to the Government from lands,
which, with ordinary industry on the
part of the former, would bring plenty
of money to pay taxes with. But it
seems that beyond the exertion
necessary to their sustenance little
or no attention is paid to their
development. Again, those to whom
a change of government would prove
beneficial, instilled ideas into the
minds of the negroes which have ma
terially intensified their antipathy
toward the Geffrard administration.—
These causes have successfully operated
in uniting them in bloody resistance,
which at last accounts was extending
itself to even the most distant
sections of Jamaica. The geographi
cal situation of the rebellious dis
tricts, isolated from the seat of govern
ment—Port au Prince—and possessing
many natural advantages for the protec
tion of the insurgents, has afforded
Turin Salnave and his malcontents,
ample opportunity to hold their
own against the Geffrard forces.—
The inception of the trouble grew nut
of an attempt by the Government to
force the negroes to cultivate their lands
and pay into the national treasury an
adequate proportion of the taxes. The
tax collector of St. Thomas-in-the-East
parish, ascertained that there were large
II UM hers of people who owed taxes for
years. He endeavored to collect those
arrearages, but was driven away front
that locality. Reportiug the facts to
the Revenue Department, he obtained
permission to take back a force of sol
diers and renew the attempt. Subse
quently, however, an appeal was
made to the Judicial authorities of
the =Alistrict, to get the taxes
abated; but a decision against them
was rendered. The point at issue was
carried to the higher court, and by
it sustained. A third effort made proved
a signal failure. The excitement then
broke out with unusual energy, and
deeds of violence hourly occurred. The
court building was fired, Haron Von
Kittleholdt, of the Superior Court, Judge
Price, of the Magistrates' Court, and
others, were subjected to horrid tortures
and filially killed. Dissatisfaction with
the Geffrard Government, which has
thus far failed in its efforts to crush the
rebels, is rapidly disseminating itself
among the people, and the army is fast
becoming demoralized. Our latest ac
counts inform us that no decisive action
had taken place, but a simultaneous at
tack against Salnave and Ins forces was
shortly to be made by land and sea,
which, if successful, will enable Geff
rard to hold the reins of Government;
but if his movement, which has prob
ably already occurred, proves a failure,
the pal ience of the people will most
likely be exhausted, the soldiers de
moralized, and Geffrard compelled to
seek refuge in a foreign country. Ja
maica is one of the richest districts in
the West Indies. Its products embrace
the most luxurious tropical fruits, coffee,
cotton, etc., in vast variety and superior
quality ~„and with a fractious soil and
healthy en , mate, requires little exertion
on the part of the natives to raise im
mense quantities.

FROM OLD AND YOUNG; FROM RICH

universal voice of praise for
11=MitiMMME
It is a perfect and miraculous article. Cures
baldness. Makes hair grow. Abetter dressing
than any " oil " or " pomatum." Softens brash,
dry and wiry hair into beautiful silken Tresses.
Butabove all, the great wonder is the rapidity
with which It restores GRAY HAIR TO ITS
ORIGINAL COLOR.
Use it a few times, and
PRESTO CHANGE!
The whitest and worst-looking hair resumes
its youthful beauty. It does not dye the hair,
but strikes at the root, and tills it with new
life and coloring matter.
It will not take a long, disagreeable trial to
prove the truth of this matter. The first appli
cation will do good; you will see the NATUR
AL COLOR retlrning every day, and
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT
the old gray
discolored appearancOof the Hair will be gone,
giving place to lustrous, shining and beautiful
locks. _ _ _
