A Paris correspondent tells the following singular story : • - A very amusing historiette is told of Count M., a young gentleman of fortune, his wife, and a young man who may be designated as Mr. A. The latter, a simple clerk in one of the railroad Offices, and the Uount are cousins. —The Countess, a very beautiful and rather eans_dted woman, lived unhappily ,with her husband. For inure than a year past she has been under the idea that young A. was des perately •in love with her. Every look the gentleman cast upon her when they met, eve ry pressure of the hand, every new vest., every fresh growth of moustaches--was in terpreted as an evidence of ardent, though pent-up love. One night quite late, Mr. A. heard a ring at his door.—Upon opening it, to his great amazement he beheld, in his noc turnal visitor, the fair Countess, attired in a traveling dress, and carrying in her hand her jewel case. "Henry," said she, throwing her arms (und his neck, "I have come to requite your long and faithful attachivent." "What attachment? I don't understand • you! ,, "Your attachment to me! I have read it in your every look for months past. You love ; husband is a monster. Let us fly to some distant lamb" "Nonsense, ma'am! I love you? I never dreamed of such a thing-! You must have peen dreaming. As to flyiag to some distant land—you know very well that I am on em ployee, dependent for broad upon a modest salary. How the deuce are we to live in your distant land, 1 should like to know'?" "Here arc my jewels. Our wants will be tig—" "Pooh ! Pooh !.—vou don't want me to live upon Other people's diamonds, do you ? Let me beg of you to return immediately home." The lady-fiellbecLan_d ought to have been tempting. "1 cannot," she said. "It is too late. I seized the occasion when the Count went to the Opera, this evening, to write a letter avowing all—my love for you---vour passion for me—my flight with you. 13v - this time the letter is in his hand, and if I go hack he will murder-me." • ."Zounils !" ejnoulatei the gentleman. "Yon mean he will murder me!" Here was a pretty lardness to be sure. The lady wept and the gemleman burst into a cold perspiration. It was now two o'clock in:the Morning. Presently a. sharp ring was heard at the duor. Poor A. turned pale, nut doubt leg that his eliraged cousin had come for "sat isfaction." Nerving himself to the effort, he hid the Countess in a closet, and went to the door. It-tra.s the - Count who had pulled the bell; but, instead of being in a violent rage, he only looked anxious. "lirilry,” sail he, "f want von." 'I am ready," w;is the stirjcill reply. "That's right., old boy ! I knew I erhild de pend on you. The facts are these: I wcilit to the Opera, this evening, tool ought to have been at home ,►t eleven o'eleek ; but as I was leaving the theatre, some friends met me,- in si,ted on my supping with them, and have ::ept me until this -nrAbent.

"I'll do my hest," said he. ."Go and wait for we at the Tortoni. I will rejoin you in an hour." 011 went the husband, and as soon as he wn , l safely at a distance, A. quickly conducted the Countess to her residence, returned to his rriend, and gaily slapping him en the shoul der, assured him that "it .was all right." Th e oneollse l ons Count went home a happy so ended the adventure : hut _it may he sulqlosed that the lady now entertains anything but a tender sentiment towards her husband's cousin. Funny Theatrical Reminiscence. Billy Williams, the English comedian, now deceased, was one of the best natured' men alive, and although without education, a cap ital comic actor. Billy was a regular Cockney ii i his e o n \ ersatiiin, and paid no attention to the rules of I;ra:llin:tr. An amusing conversation between hint and NV 11 tarn E. Bur ton, the theatrical manager, is thus related by a friend of the parties:, . Billy sat in his usual seat, and was endeav oring to make himself agreeable to those, around him. Burton, who delighted in qiiiz ziug Billy, made some inquiries of him rein :lye to a horse belonging to Mr. Ilambiin, which seemed to arouse Billy, and he thus ciAninencoil this reply : Burton, - I'll tell you all about, that 'orse.

"Nf), d—n it, with Tom Flynn, and then I rode off up the Bowery, and who should I meet in front of the Bowery theatre but Tom 'Amblin, so I got off, and told the boy to hold him by the head." "What, hold Hamblin by the head V' "No, the 'w:se, and then we went and had a drink together." ''What :F on and the horse?"

Now look here, Burton, every time I say 'orse, you say '.lwn►b lin, and' every time I say 'Amblin, you say 'orse. Now I'll be hanged if I tell you any more about it:" Billy felt his dignity insulted, anti no coax ing; on the part of Burton could induce him to finish the recital. From the Picayune. How Tom Jefferson Squared Accounts with Gen. Quitman. .211 - es.trg. Editors have already in my last alluded to the superior honesty of our company, and if we ever did take up a stray pig or visited a henroost, not too far from the line of march, the blame must fall Ivhere it ought to, on the shoulders of our rascally commissary and quartermaster, who cheated us out of the due allowance we ought to have received - from Uncle Sam, through their ngenh ey, for volunteering to leave our country fur our country's good, and to fight her battles for seven dollars a month, and all the glory we could get. But that, as the saying goes; is neither here nor there. Our fellow t , oldiers, the regulars in particu lar, conceived, a short time after our arrival; a particular dislike to us, partly because we objected - ter being bucked and gagged, and Partly becance we kept a sharp look out fur No. 1, and never left fish, flesh or fowl for their sensual 'gratification, when we could help it. They called us the "thieving regi ment," and the "henroost volunteers," but as we are commanded to forgive our enemies, we (lone so, and kept on the even senor of our way, blessing. our sta'!-s that we were under Quitman ntis Shields, and not under Twikgs and Harney. Gen. Quitman was deservedly liked by all of us, bat by none more than a.(poonlata resi• dent of Franklin 31,trker, who bore the dis tinguished Of Thomas Jefforsoil, had heel a hitcher a little 11011, a loafer afterwards, and now was a volunteer. Tom was a plod fellow, and we wore all prowl of him. It was to him mainly that we looked ,up for council and guidance mn hen-roost ex peditiong.

When we came from the mountains down to the valley of Mexico, we stopped at a place called Samna Fe, known for the paucity of chickens, and -16 or the badnesS of the agml fliento. What, made mu artery Worse. was URI fact that Gen. Quitman gave strict orders not to allow the melt to leave their quarters.— This order wits strictly regarded by all except Tom and five of his most promising disciples,. who managed by hook and crook to kiteul out of camp; Toni, who had a wonderful facility for find ing out hearoo.ts, proved a tromp also on this occasion, nod returned lotion with the spoils. Ilowevtfr, just al he was getting into ("amp, one of tire - reg-nlars espied the six vol unteers, and, with 'non at their head, t,liey were brought hofore Gen. Quitman.

Then Shields' orderly 5p01,.. fur his master, and Toth yielded right off. lie valee into the camp, and told us triumphantly how: he had relosed to sell the pheasants toGen.Quitman, and given them to Gen.

Enrroas FArtu :—As you have done mo the honor to insert in 'December number of the Journal a short extract from article I had written for our local rarer (the Columbia Spy,) giving HI. views in re lation to this new.plant, I win just say in ad dition that the corroborating evidence of its Suitableness "to all soils and all climates" from Maine to Florida, which -- we - see pub lished in papers from every section of our Union, fully confirms all thathas been said in its favor. 'thus for once, I think this will be no "multicaulis humbug." I would unhesi tatingly recommend a trial of it by every farmer. who desires to "raise his own sweet ening," to set, apart a quarter or half acre, in his cornfield, and if he can procure the seed at a reasonable rate, to commence the cultiva-, tion of it. without fear of a failure. Though I have not cultivated it on a scale sufficiently large to enable me to give reliable information to your readers from my own experiments in regard to the quantity or syrup, seed or fod dor, per acre, yet from the concurrent testi mony of so many who have experimented with it in various and distant sections of the country, there is in my mind proof positive, that an acre well set and Well cultivated will produce from three to six hundred gallons of Nyrup . or molasses, and as to quality, my own experiment fully satisfies me that it is superi or and mare pleasant to the taste then the best of New Orleans or - Sugar , house molasses.— That it will answer for all the uses to which molasses- is usually applied, turd an excellent substitute for molasses and in many eases even sugar. It will soon be m:n in to dry sugar. Extracting the juice from the _ eane is the greatesf difficulty to be encounter ed by farmers.

Our cotemporaries cannot have, rend the decision in question, or they would scarcely have hazarded so wild an assertion ; for Chief "Justice Taney explicitly - admitted that citizenship of a State, and citizenship of a federal republic, were two. distinct things, and.thus a man might — bra citizen of one - without being a citizen of the other.. There is nothing in the "Dred Scott" decision to disfranclusepersons of African descent whom a State has declared capable of voting for its. State officers. The Commonwealth of New York might to-morrow, if it chose, make col ored persons full citizens of that State, though it could not make them citizens of the United States, which tis a different republic, and which tilone haw the right to determine who its citizens are: It is important to keep this distinction in mind. A citizen of the United States is a citizetrof the thirty-one States, and it would bo absurd to decide a negro who cannot, under existing laws, become a citizen of several of the States, a citizen of 'the Union. —.Argus. Not to Vote. AR we expected, the Free State men et Kan sas have resolved not tb vote at the coming election of delegates- to the convention to frame a State Constitution. They held a con vontiou at Topeka on the Ioth and 11th of March, and such is thi+ import of one of the resolutions adopted. OT course, thou, it will be entirely a pro-alavery convention, and the character of the Oonatitotion to be formed is no longer doubtful. The Free State Men may yet have one chance more to make fools ,of themselves. When the constitution is pre sented to Congress and admission demanded as a" State, it may be referred back' to a vote of the people, as it should have- been under, the territorial act itself, If in that o'eut the Free State mon again refuse to vote; there will Of coirrtre no- hinger-he a doubt as to "whose fault',' it "s ; that, 'Caroms, becomes a :slavo State. , But the late Topeka convention was certainly u curiosity _in ,its - wuy . burg • Po;vt: • • " .

This is of course ;- for the executive' has no power to go behind .the official -promulgation of those laws, and inquire whether they were fairly - or unfairly passed or even whether they are con stitutional... Such queitions, belong to other. departments—to Congress in part; but priati pally to the Courts. In connection with this matter we may mention that the telegraph from the west informs its of the determination of the free State settlers not to vote at the coining . election, but.to bold one 'of their own: If this is correct it is greatly to be deplored: The country will not-sustain an set of men who oppose the laws, especially -when ty yielding, obedience to those laws they 'might obtain the power to remodel thetn. We-are far from defending the existing, code of Kan has; as a totality at least. Our leading U.. S. senators, Democratic, an well as opposition, have pronounced 'it in some reSpeets an out rage On justice and free government. But the correction of this abuAe, it must be remem bered, iii not in the hands of the President— the Constitution givin him no more power to cancel these' laws than Co a private indi vidual. But the . right of bona-fide settlers to abro, gate this code ,no one denies, provided they go to work in a legal and formal manner.— The free State immigration into Kansas hi already enormous and is rapidly increasing, arid will. still further increase. A little pa tience, a deebroue respect for the constituted authorities, and a proper faith in being sus tabled by the people of 'the United States at large, will enable them to quietly revolution ize the legislature and secure the permanent adoption of free institutions. It is a sheer absurdity to suppose that a minority can al ways rule in Kansas or any where else. But if the free State settlers re-commence the game of agitation, if they refuse to obey the legal authorities, if they hold an election and set up officers. of their own, they will lose the. sympathies of all law-and-order-loving people, - and not only make Kansas a slave State, but keep it such for many years. It is yet time, for-the free State settlers to reconsider their derision and - Wre at thdapproaching election; and we hope for their sake, as well as for the future of :Kansas, that they. will hasten to do it.— Ledger.
