Have got over on the Indiana Bide, principal
difference to be noticed in the inhabitants lain
the hoes; on the Kentucky sido they are big,
fat, and as broad is they are long ; on this side ;
they are shaped like a North river steamboat,
long and lean. I just saw two of cm sharpen ,
their noses on tho pavement, and engage in ,
mortal combat; one rushed nt his neighbor, .
struck him between tho eyes, split him from end .
to end; cart came, along, run over the two ,
halves, out them into hams and ? j
iiffy— rcquicscat in many picas. This is decided-
It a rich country; the staple productions are ,
big hogs, ragged niggers and the best horses in ;
the United States. The people live principally ;
on bread made of corn; whisky ditto ; and hogs '
prepared in vnrioUß barbarous ways They give
away whisky and sail cold water. The darkies
are mostly slaves; they nail horseshoes over
their doors to keep away the witohes, indulge in
natti-colored hats in the most superlative degree
of dilapidation; go barefooted, and have large
apertures “in puppet pantanooli. It is a per
feot treat to watch their entertaining per
formances. At the hotel the allowance is four
teen niggers to eaoh guest, and as each
seems to be possessed of the peculiar idea that
his provinoe is to do nothing nt all, with as
mßnv flourishes as possible, the oonfußion that
follows is far from being devoid of entertalu-
They never bring you anything yon call for;
ir you oaU for chicken, you will probably get
oorned beef and cabbage ; if you want roast beef,
they will assuredly bring you apple dumplings ;
ask for sweet potatoes, and you 11 get fried eggs,
send for corn bread, and you’re safe to obtain
boiled pork; ring the bell for a boot-jaok, and
you’ll get a hand-sled. And when you WBnt to
retire for the night, instead of providing yon
with a pair of slippers and a oandle, tho ohanoes
are ten to one the attendant sable angel will
rive you a red flannel shirt, a shot-gun, a flask
of whisky, three boiled eggs, and a pair of
smoothing irons. The negro slaves are, as
may be imagined, of various oolors, ranging
from the hue of the beautiful yellow envelope of
the Postoffioe Department to that of the black
est ink that over indites a subscription thereon.
The theory of “ woman’s rights” is in practical
operation among them ; the men oook, set the
table, olean up the dishes, do the washing, and
spank the babies, while their blacker halves hoe
corn, chop wood, go to market, and “ run wul
de maeheen.” .
Have great fruit in this country; apples big
as pumpkins, not very large pumpkins, small
siied pumpkins, diminutive pumpkins, infantile
pumpkins, just emerged from blossomhood, and
ere they have absumed that golden overcoat
whioh maketh their maturer friends bo glorious
to the view. And pumpkin pies, manufactured
by the sable god Of the kitchen ; pies enormouß
to behold; wherein after they are ready to be
devoured yon might wade up to your knees in
noble oompound which flileth the interior there
of, and maketh the pie savory and neotarian; in
fact pie celestial, whereor writers in all ngea
have discoursed eloquently; and sweet potatoes,
such s-w-e e-t p-o-t-a-t-o e-s!! Jiminetty 1 big
enough to fill a six foot grave, yellow ns rhubarb
and luoious as—passes eandy.
To roturn to the prinoipal topic—the darkies
—thoy are all built after the same model; hand
like a shoulder of mutton, teeth white as milk,
foot of suitable dimensions for a railroad bridge,
and month big enough for tho depot; they have
all got six toes ion eaoh foot, skub like an oak
plank, yellow eyes, and a nose like a split pear;
the back extends inwardly four inches and a
half; they live on yams, whisky, corn-bread,
swine-beef, hog-mntton, and pork; they are not
siokly, principal ailments are spine in the baok,
the diaphragm in the region of the stomaob, and
cranium of the head; besides whioh they are apt
to be troubled with retina of the eye, tibia of the
leg, mumps, whisky blosßoms, seven-year itch,
and the six-foot measles. Should I hear of any
more distinguishing characteristics, I will let
you know soon. Meanwhile lam

News ofthe Day*
A despatch from Louisville, Ky, dated tbo
21st, says the letter bag, with the Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh and Baltimore letters for Columbue,
was stolen to-day from the Irffersonrille rail
road.
The first telegraphic aocounte of tho foreign
news by the steamehip Afrioa, were eent on show
by pigeonß a distanoe of five miles out of Sandy
Hook, and telegraphed thenoe to New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and other oities, and
and published an hour before tho arrival of the
steamer at her wharf.
SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.
The discovery of tho remains of this unfortu
nate navigator seemß to be well authenticated; I
and his name with those of his orewe most be
added to tho long list of bold and adventurous
seamen who have perished in the fruitless at
tempt to discover “ a north-west passage.
When Columbus Bailed on his firßt voyago, in |
hiß main object was to discover a western
route to the East Indies. New islands and a
new continent were elnmblcd upon in this searoh
for a western passage to the Indies. A western
passage by water being thus obstructed, a
northwestern passage became tho great desider
atum, and for centuries expeditions have been
sent into the froien realms of the North to find
a route for ships from Europe to Asia, to the
to the North of onr continent. Many mariners
have perished in the search, and but one really
valuable discovery has been made. It is that no
such passage can he found that is not too far to
the North, and too constantly obstructed by ice
te be of any praotioal value to oommerce.
Tho world will at length be compelled to adopt
ihc conclusion that no north-west passage for
oommerce will ever ho found ; and that snch ex
peditions as that in which Sir John Franklin
and his crews have perished, are useless sacri
fices of human life, and can produce no results
of practical value to the scientific or commcr
cal world. Though the North pole itself oonl l
ho reached, and the realms of eternal iee and
stow folly explored, the world probably would
b> not one iota the rioher or wiser for the
r.chievehoent.
Wealth enough has been expended on Arctic
expeditions to bnild a long section of a railroad
across the continent. When that road is built,
he western passage from Europe to the Indies
■gill be found, and not till then.
The fate of Franklin and the other victims of
his ill-fated expedition, will probably put an end
,0 the “ tearch of a c'ntuiy," so far as the na
tions of Europe are concerned. An American
-quadron is now in those dangerous seae, under
the command of Dr. Kano. Whatever its fate,
It is te be hoped it will be the last effort in the
.‘rnUlcas and fatal search.
IN THE MINORITY
The Gazette ef yesterday, endeavors to pro
loco the impression that the Democrats of this
country are in the minority, and have been so
for a long time. It is a singular fact then that
the opponents of Dcmooracy were able to carry
but four States of the Union for OPn. Soott, in
185° while the Democrats carried twenty-seven.
Thai’was a fair and square fight between Demo-
racy and its enemies.
In 1854 in some of these States, new distnrb
ng elements hare arisen that will probably be
hort-lived, and they have defeated not only the
i.mooratß, but the Whigs, the Frco Sellers, and
il other factions but the Native Amcrtoans. Out
f this strange result, the Curette undertakes to
rpher tho Democracy into tho minority in this
ountry.
Few will believe that tho party that baa
,d possession of the government nearly all
~e time for half a century is a minority
arty. Our neighbor must find other sources
f consolation. This fancy about the weakness
;■ the Democracy will vanish in 1866 “ like the
Melees fabric of a vision ”

As will be seen by the circular of this asso
iation in to day’s paper, a fine opportunity is
ffered for obtaining cheap literature, and a
banco of drawing the Greek Slave as a prize.
Vhe difference between this and other plans got
.,D op is this : the subscriber gets the full value
['{ his money in any event, with a chance of a
premium of very high value. The drawing will
be in good faith ; for wc are personally acquaint
ed with Mr. Derby, and know him to be a man
of enterprise and business integrity. Dr. Geo.
11. Keyser, 140 Wood street, is the agent in
Pittsburgh. The circular explains the whols
matter. .
Ohio Fain.—A gentlemnn who attended the
Ohio State Fair at Newark, informs us that it
was one of tho largest gatherings of people he
saw. He thinks it was equal to the Fair at
Pittsburgh last year. There were on one day
from fifty to seventy thousand people on the
grounds. There were not so many manufactur
ed articles on exhibition as at Pittsburgh j but
the oattle and horses he thinks were better. State
and oounty Fairs have beoome <• permanent in
stitutions,” in this country, and every year the
crowds who attend them are larger and the stook
and other articles of manufactures exhibited,
more numerous and cxccllont.
There can be no doubt of the utility of Buoh
gatherings, and suoh exhibitors of the products
of mechanioal skill, and improvements in agri
culture and the rearing of stook.
Our County Fair is well attended.
Our readers will remember having heard
of the scandalous “ Walker divorce oase,” in
New York. The jury were unable to agree, but
the matter was put in the hands of a referee by
consent of both parties. Tho refereo has msde
a report; on this report Judge Ingraham has en
tered a decree granting Mrs. W. the divorce ap
plied for, witd liberty to marry again, and giving
her also the custody of the children, with liberty
to Mr. W. to visit them once a fortnight. The
plaintiff to havo judgement and costs. It is
stated that Mr. W. made no defenoe before the
referee.
A young man about 21 years of age,
named Thomas Bentley, was killed last Satur
day, near Parkersburg, Chester County, by be
ing thrown off a burden train, which ran over
him, crushing him in a horrible manner. It ap
pears he had been attending the funeral of his
mother and in returning got on a burden oar,
when the oonduotor of another train demanded
fare at one of the watering stations. He re
fused, and while they wero disputing the oars
started, when the conductor pushed him off the
car, which passed over him and oaueed his
death.
fg. The Philadelphia City Councils have
adopted a resolution authorising tho Mayor to
oontraot for the construction of a Fire and Po

Loul. Napoleon, Now and Then.
A writer in the London Economist sums up
a eery able article on Napolson 111. aB follows:
"The same man who landed! at Boulogne in
1840 with a single steamer and a few fneods on
a desperate and abortive expedition, revisits it
in 1854 to review a vast army and receive the
homage of countless spectators. The same
man who six years ago lived in obscurity in
London, scarcely able to pay his tailor s and
quite unable to pay his horse-dealer 8 bill—
whom many looked upon as stnpid and whom
none looked upon as wiße—of whom few augured
well and whom few would trust muoh—we have
inst seen receiving the vUits and oompliments
of the consort of onr Qneen, entertaining three
royal guests at his table—one of them the son
in-law of the very monaroh whom he had sne
ceeded—and admitted beyond all denial into
the Bocial clrole of royal personages. Nor is
this change in bis singular fortunes the only
one, nor perhaps the greatest. We can ima
gine him smiling with even a more grim satisfac
tion as he contrasts the language of the English
press regarding him in 1861! and now; sitting
with the Times or the Examiner of December,
1851, or August, 1854, before bim—and mar
veling at tho metamorphosis—the unmeasured
abuse whioh was showered upon him at the for
mer date, and the decorous respeot and cor
dial praise with whioh he is spoken of now.
The ' seedy swell ’ and the ‘sanguinary ruffian,
is now the polite and sagaoious Emperor, and
takes wine tete-a-tete with Prince Albert and
King Leopold.”
This '* Elhotbical Motor ” Destroyed by a
Mob.—A letter from John M. Spear, published
in tho Spiritual Telegraph, oontains the following
information concerning the destruction of the
machine bnilt at Lynn, whioh was represented
by its friends to be endowed with life, and was
styled by some persons a “ new Bailor.
I* From the hour that it became publicly known
that the Association of Eleotrioieers had under
taken to Introdnoe to the inhabitants of this
earth a new inotito power, the press and the
pulpit haio assailed, ridiouled and misrepresent
ed it, until a publio sentiment hae been genera
ted whioh enoonraged the mob to assail and de
stroy It. It was moied, as you know, to Ran
dolph, N. Y., that it might hare the advantages
of that lofty elootrloal position. A temporary
building was erected to shelter it. Into that,
under the oover of the night, the mob entered,
tore out the heart of the meohanism, trampled
beneath thoir feet, and eoattered it to tho four
winds.” ...

On Tuesday a posse of, the secret polioe that

Too Harp for Him.—During the recent trial
of Fortman, at Cotingtoo, one of the jurymen
returned, was asked by the prosecution if be
had any “conscieutioua scruples about inflicting
the death penalty ?”
“Scruples'.”
“ Yea, sir, conscientious soruple*.
The juryman scratched bia bead, and thought
deeply for a moment. „
“ Yes, sir, I haTe them scru ecru
“ Scruples,” suggested the attorney.
“Yes. mr, I ba*c conscientious scruples.”
«. will you explain the natore of your scruples
to the Court,” said the lawyer.
“ My scruples,” said the juryman, facing bis
Honor, “ w that the Dutchmun ought to be hung,
and Vmin for it.'’ „
He was ordered to “stand aside for cause.

What abe you to do A diminutive spcci
of humanity appealed to our compassion a day
or two ago to relieve him by purchasing a oopy
of a weekly paper, with whioh he had been, to
uso a term of the trade, “ muck. Hie blue
eyes ami rosy cheeks attraeted attention, and in
«*ply to inquiries he stated that he and his only
brother supported his mother, and his mother
supported bis father. In reply to a question
whether he did not sometimes swear, the little
chap, with an embarrassed air said, “ not
often, bat when a big boy steals your pa
pers, and you can’t lick him, what are you to
do?”
An Unwelcome Visitor.— Within the last
three weeks a full-grown black bear has been
Bern several times in the woods, about one mile
from Fraukford, Philadelphia county. The last
time it was seen was on Saturday afternoon,
just before dark, back of the first toll-gate, on
tho Oxford Plank road. It is supposed to be
long to some menagarie, as it has a chain fas
tened around its neck. Several attempts
have been made to kill it, but so far they have
proved unsuccessful. It is rarely seen in the
day time.
jo- a well dressed woman was found on
Smith street, Saturday night, raying and ecream
ing at a terrible rate. She wae first supposed to
be an escaped maniao, but It was afterwards dis
ootered that she was suffering from manta apola.
She waa taken to her residence. To Bee a woman
thua fallen, abandoned, and entirely destitute,
is moat pitiable.—Cm. Com.
A young gentleman of our acquaintance
oreated quite a sensation a few evenings since,
while reading to a circle of young ladies a po
lite effusion “To a beautiful Belle,” by pronoun
cing the latter word in two syllables.
The Sandusky, Ohio, Register notices as
among the oargoes of vessels leaving that port,
one of 250 tone of oil cake, great quantities of
whioh are oonßtantly arriving from the Southern
part of tho State. The same paper also speaks
of the vast quantities of black-walnut lumber
shipped from Sandusky to the East, where it is
manufactured into furniture and sent back to
the Weßt for sole.
