OUR WEEKLY.
Pus WETALY POST, containing,.all the
latest news, foreign, domestic, local, coin
mercial and financial, may be had at our
counting room this afternoon, in wrappers
ready for mailing. In clubs of five, this
large and excellent family newspaper costa
but one dollar per year. The commence
ment of the new year is just the time to get
up clubs.
THE DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS
To-day, between the hours of four and
seven o'clock, the Democrats of the several I
wards of the city will hold their primary
meetings for the election of delegates to I
meet in' convention on Tuesday next, to
nominate candidates tor Mayor, City Con
troller and City Treasurer, for the coming
two years. Our opponents, who are largely
in the majority, have been unable to agree
among themselves upon a candidate for
Mayor, and this gives the Democracy a
chance to fill the office with a man from
our own ranks: Within the' last ten or fif
teen years, the Democrats have had but
two Mayors, Hon. John B. Guthrie and
Hon. William Kerr. The citixens of Pitts
burgh look back to the municipal adminis
tration of these gentlemen with pride and
pleasure. We venture to say that the af
fairs of the city were never better managed
than under these gentlemen. We have now
a.nothei chance of giving to the city the bles
sing of a Democratic administration. Let
us go into the work with a determination to
succeed. Let a fair and full expression of
the wishes of the Democratic party of the
city be given to-day. Between the several
competent and very worthy gentlemen in
the field for nomination, let the majority of
Democratic voters decide, and then let the
party, with a united energy, go in and elect
him. We hope it will be recollected that
the meetings to be held to-day are Dentocrahe
meetings, and that no friend of any candi
date will ask from the election officers the
reception of a vote which is not known to
be a Democratic one. The members of the
party aie surely able to decide for them
selves who shall be their nominee, and it.
is an evidence of weakness rather than
strength for any oneto seek to obtain - either
N :t influence or votes outside the party ranks
ecure a nomination.
Tlitcqy executive'committee have done
their dut - Yekn . designating the time and the
places for lialding the primary elections. It,
now remains for the rank-and-file of the
party to dotheirs.
DEATH OF HON. LINN BOYD.
Private despatches to St. Louis and Cin
cinnati announce the death, at his residence
in Kentucky, of Hon. Linn Boyd. He W 11.9
one of the leading Democratic statesmen of
the day, and in his demise the country has
lost an upright, honest man.
He was lawn in Nashville, Tennessee,
Nov. V., 1800. His early advantages were
limited, but on arriving at man's estate
he entered into politics, and from 1827 to
1831 was a member of the Legislature of his
native State. He was a Representative of
Congress from 1835 to 1837, from 1839 to
1847 and again from 1847 to 1855. During
the Thirty First Congress he was chairman
of the Oinumittee on Territories, and during
his laatterm in C,ortgress occupied the chair
of the Speaker of the Ifoiise of Representa
tive:
Throughout his whole career he labored
faithfully and honestly for his constituents,
and retired from the 'Legislative Halls of his
country with ahigh reputation.
Duda - Ithe latter years of his life Mr.
Boyd has resided in Kentucky where he has
ever been most highly esteemed and honor
ed. He was at one time within a few votes
of being the nominee for Governor,ind
also for United States Senator, and at the
time of his death was Lieutenant Governor
of the State, although his long continued ill
health had prevented him from entering
upon the 'duties of the office to which he
was umnimously nominated by his party
and triumphantly elected by the people.
Commencing life with acentury remarka
ble for its rapid progress in the arts of civili
zation, he was a man who kept up with the
spirit of the age, in which he lived, and
which has developed the power and natural
talent of many such men as he.
In Pennsylvania he had hosts of sincere
and warm hearted friends, who deeply
mourn his death, and tender their sad sym
pathies-to his widow, who is oneof Pennsyl
vania's true hearted and most accomplished
-daughters.
FOREIGN NEWS
The foreign news by the recent arrivals, al
though not of considerable political, import
alleet is -ACM interesting. From Compeigno,
France, we have minute and exciting reports
of the' imperial sports pursued there during
the Emperor's late visit, with a full account of
the royal mtriage. The description of the
chateau, its guests, the arrangements and busi
ness pursuits, is full of interest. England's
sudden change of opinion as to the mode of
her representation in the European Congress
had disappointed Napoleon. From Berlin we
learn that Prussia will propose to the Con
gress an important alteration of maratime
law in case of war, so as to secure all
property—except contrabands of war—from
seizure by hostile ships; in fact an elab
oration of the proposition made by Mr. .Mar
cy in 1856 to the Conference of Paris. It was
thought that England suggested the idea, fear
ing her inability to protect her merchant traf
fic in case of war with France, now so pow
erful in her steam navy.

GOV. BLACK'S MESSAGE.
We have received the Omaha Nchrasiciart
of December 10th; containing Gov. Black's
. -
message, to _which we alluded some days
DEC 22
ago. It is. an elaborate and well written
State paper, treating of all the topics of im
portance and interest in the governmental
affairs in tho territory in a plain and states
manlike manner. The Governor, among
other things, warmly urges upon the Legisla
ture to take measures for the immediate ap
plication of Nebraska for admission into the
Union. He admits that she does not possess,
at the present,sufficient population to entitle
her to a Representative under the existing
ratio of 93,42.3, but he enters into an elab .
orate argument to prove that this is no le_
gal, barrier to her admission,and cites the ex
ample of Florida and Arkansas. The pres
ent political complexion of the territory is
decidedly Democratic. Of the thirty-nine
members of the lower branch of the Legis
lature, twenty-five are Democrats. in the
Council there are but two Republicans.
In a portion of his message ho treats in
an appropriate manner of inaccuracies and
misrepresentations of history in regard to
the territory. He corrects prejudicial re
ports which have circulated about its soil,
climate and productions.
He recommends such reforms as the ne
cessities of the people require, and as will
result in the general good.. He favors a
homestead exemption— a usury law, and
that real estate should be made the chie
basis of revenue.
The subject. of a State organization for
Nebraska is &ready under consideration in
the Legislature and will doubtless receive
the sanction of both House and Council.
NOT A CANDIDATE.
We aro requested to state that Mr. Alexan
der Hunter is not a candidate for the office o
City Controller before the Democratic Convon
Lion.
The Value of Humau Life
One of the things, in all nature, the most
difficult to form any estimate of is the val
ue of a humus life, and yet there appears to
be a springing up, in the minds of a few
extremists, both North and South, a reck
lessness as to its value &Willy, alarming.—
This was one of the most marked features
of the crime for which John Brown suffer
ed. Twenty years ago many of the extrem
ists to which ho belonged were ultra peace
men. All war was wrong. Even to in
flict punishment on a truant school-boy was
wrong—no violence was their gospel. There
are more lives lost throughout the country
at this time, through carelessness, wanton
ness or revenge, than would suffice a popula
tion ten times as large in a country like
England. Our railroads and steamboats
take life by wholesale, through recklessness,
and to save a little money in construction
or caw in watchfulness. Duels prevail.
Murders from drunken brawls, and murder
! for love of gain, and murders from deliber
ate revenge, have been increasing fast
enough. But if, in addition to all this, we
are to have political murders, and even re
ligious murders, where are we to stop?
One of the most marked features of the
Christianity of the first ages was the value
it taught men to put upon human life, and
the horror it produced of bloodshed. It
found Rome reveling in blood and the reck
less destruction of life. But. through its
doctrines of immortality, retribution and
reserection, it taught men to put a value
upon every human life, frith which nothing
else could compare. Men who suffered
martyrdom themselves, but never Milieu-al
death on others, not unnaturally became
even extreme in their views of the value of
that which they never took from others,
but which once taken, could never be re
stored. The Hindoos, following out that
ides for thousands of years, hold a gauze
over the month that they may not take the
life of insects as they breathe. But Ckris
: tians have ever been allowed M sacrifice all
inferior lives to the support of that of man,
wh'eh thus became so peculiarly cared for
that, at one time no one who hail, evt7+ by ,,-
chest, taken away the life of any one, could
ever after officiate in the Cluistian minis
try, in many parts of the world.
The effect of this high value of life has
been most marked upon the civilization of
Christian nations. All high elevation is
at once laid aside by the gra). masses of
men where life is insecure and the art of
defending it is the first necessity. Especially
is this the case in civil war or frequent as
sassination. Nature is economical in all
her laws and arrangementa, and just in prey
portion as the lives of men ani liable to be
violently cut short, those lives become less
valuable ;by acquired knowledge and pro
found cultivation. The two always go to
gether. Once in a while an Archimedes
may be caught in a besieged city, but not
often. Where rapine and violence and
bloodshed flourish, philosophers and all
men of the higher class of mental as well
WI moral culture become scarce in that ex-
act proportion.
In Africa, where men of the very lowest
type abound, the destruction of life is most
reckless and wholesale. In a single slave
hunt, twenty or thirty villages will tie con
sumed, and three hundred men and women
and infants will be killed for the sake of
capturing one hundred youths fit for the
slave market.
In India and China, teeming with life,
'the lower castes may be destroyed by thou
sands and nothing is thought of it. In an
army a thoasand men may be slain without
much ado, but let the general, the hero of
many encounters, be touched, and the
whole country takes the alarm, and ono
brave soldier will gladly throw himself upon
the exploding bomb-shell to save the life of
a Napoleon.
This regard for the quality rather than
the quantity of life is not merely the effect of
calculation as to the superior value of
the more cultivated and rare, but it is also
that security and peace are necessary to
produce the more rare, valuable and culti
vated forms of life. And it has thus far
been the mission of Christianity to produce
a regard jor life as life, from a consideration
of the anticipated value which may be giv
en to it by pfoper cultihtion, and this an
ticipation has been realized in Christian na
tions, in proportion to the faith in the value
of every hll7/1421 . 7. lift. The equal rights of all
American citizens has recognized this, and
Our peacefulness has been the source of 'Our
prosperity and culture. Now it was the
reeklessnem V life in pursuit of' a theory that

is the most astonishing phenomenon of smolt

Virginia Preparing
The State of Virginia is preparing,
nest for defense against foreign enemies and in
surrection with n her borders. Tho plan first
proposed for their new armory and arsenal
would involve a heavy expenditure andan in
creased taxation. But Governor Wise has, we
learn, recommended to the military committee
the plan proposed by Major Hartley, which is
to incorporate a joint stock company, with a
capital of five hundred thou Sand dollars, to
establish an armory on a scale adequate to the
supply of the State with arms, and also all the
other Southern States. Major Hartley offers
to take half of the stock, and to supply at once
the necessary machinery, &c. It is probable
that the proposition will be adopted. Ho will
turn out the improved arms, such us carbines
and rifles, pistols, &c., all repeating. At
present the Southern States are dependent Won
the North for arms, and have lately ordered
large supplies from Hartford and Springfield.
More Robberies on the Border-The Kansas
Game not Played Out.
The Bates County Standard of the 13th, pub
lished in Butler, Missouri, and received last
night, has a lengthy account of another foray,
made by a gang of some forty mon from Ram
sas, led by ono, Snyder, who figured largely
ender the notorious thief and cut throat,
Captain Montgomery, during the 'sainted' old
Brown's times in tbat Territory. We condense
the details, but give the special facts.
Three men. of Missouri, Messrs. Bennett,
of Parkivik- / Brown of West Point, and
Bell, of. Lafayette County, started over into
Kansas on the evening of the Sth. inst., after
a fugitive slave, who was understood to be in
the vicinity of Ossawatemie. Nightdrovo them
to shelter, and they obtained it with a farmer
named Taylor. When all had retired, and the
weary travelers were about giving themselves
up to sleep, voices were heard without, and the
tramp of many feet betrayed the presence of
a large company of men, who soon demanded
admission into the home, or that the stran
gers be sent or, brought out to them.
To save the house and property of their
host from ashes, and probably their own lives,
the Missourians surrendered, and dressed and
went out. Once in the hands of the brigands,
they were compelled to suffer numerous per
sonal indignities. They brought the very nes
gru whom their prisoners were insearch of,and
made him confront thorn, and east the lie in
their teeth; their hats and coats were taken off
and given to him, and one of the mon was com
pelled to wear the black rascal's bat ; then the
unfortunate men were deprived of their arms
—a brava of Colt's revolvers each—and a levy
of fifty dollars was assessed to pay the negro's
expenses to Canada. The horse of one of
'them was given the negro, and those of
the other twe taken to be sold, and the pro
ceeds, we suppt3se, applied to the "Jayhawk"
fund. About seven or right hundred dollars
worth of property was taken.
Then a caucus RIM held as to what should be
done with the prisoners, part of the band being
in favor of hanging ; indeed, some violent
threats and Mud talking took place between
Snyder and one or two of the most blood
thirsty of his men, as to whether the prisoners
should be hung or liberated. Snyder's coun
sel—however, prevailed,—he said he had given
his word that they should not and he
would"bed —d if he did'nt stick to it."
So they were marshal off before the muzzles of
twenty loaded rifles four miles. from the sceneof
the outrage, and abandoned to their fate. They
walked that, night to Miami Mission, and
there procured conveyance to West Point,
glad enough to be alive and beyond the reach
of their late captors.
Cuunterfelter Caught
On Tuesday afternoon last, a young man,
whocalls his name Ciavett, anit'who says lie re

four si, bins on the Citi,:en.' Bank, of --Pitts

before Justice Pcick by officers Fleming and
Hollister. Garcia was sent down to Marshal
for safe keeping until Friday afternoon (to
