CABINET MAKING.
1 The newspapers of all parties havo Tor some
' weeks been busy at work 3xlng up a Cabinet
, lor Mr. Lincoln. All, as a matter of course,
i is mere conjecture. "Old Abe" keeps bis
lips closed about such matters, and it is not at
" all likely that any considerable number cf per-
sons will know who are to be tho favored ones,
except those immediately interested. One
thing seems, however, to be conceded,' which
' Is, that Pennsylvania will bo represented in
too. Cabinet. This point being determined, it
f seems to be the general sentiment throughout
the State that lion. Simon Camkros should be
made the Postmaster General. VTe are not a-
. ware that he seeks or cares anything about
the position. But that, we think, is no good
: reason why be should not accept it, if it is
'.. tendered to him. We believe he la just the
man who in needed in that Department. We
know that he is a prompt, active, persevering,
' decisive business tnan.with more than sufficient
ability to arrange and manage the complicated
' and extensive machinery connected with that
branch of the Federal Government, and, if he
can do bo without too great a sacrifice, Gen.
, Cameron should lay aside personal considera
tions, and lend his efforts and his influence to
? strengthen and carry through successfully an
Administration, the head of which is in no
small degree indebted to him for his nomina
tion and triumphant election.
The Disunion Movement. There seems to
ba little doubt in the minds of well-informed
' persons that South Carolina is about to secede
' from tho Union that her Convention which is
, to assemble on tho 17th of December will as
sumo formally to dissolve her connection with
tho t ederat Government, most, if not all, of
tho delegates being avowed Secessionists.
" The rest of tho Cotton States Georgia, AU-
. bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Texas
and Arkansas she expects confidently will
follow. . Should any of them do so. it will on-
ly bo after a desperate struggle. There are
. ardent Union men in all these States among
' them is Sam Houston, ot Texas, who refuses
to call an extra session of tho Legislature, as
, some of the other Governors have done, to
take action on the pending crisis. It South
t Carolina shall be left to stand alone, it is very
probable that she must ultimately recede; but
. if the Cotton States generally unite with her
in seceding, the result may bo different, and,
though the movement is revolutionary, many
. of cur shrewdest men think no efloi t should
be made to prevent their going out, as it would
; be folly to attempt to subdue some two or
three millions of people. On the other band
It is argued that they should not be permitted
to withdraw, and take with them territo
ry to thf purshaso of which the entire Nation
' contributed, viz : $13,000,000 for Louisiana,
$5,000,000 for Florida, and $10,000,000 ioTex
as. ' And it is also contended that peaceable se
cession could not prevent tear, as the Great
, West would not tamely submit to have herself
cut on from tho Gulf, when the whole country
had paid a heavy price to secure the undispu
ted possession of tho Mississippi River.
U. S. Sematou.. One of tho most important
pieces of business which tho Legislature of
Pennsylvania will bo called to act upon this
winter, is that of electing a successor to Mr.
Biglcr in tho United States Senate. Amongst
tho many persons who arc named in connec
tion with this responsible post, is Edgar Cow
' an, Esq., of Westmoreland county. We arc
. well acquainted with him, and know him to be
a man of decided ability and of the most ster
ling integrity. He Is naturally modest and
" unassuming, but is an eloquent speaker, a
sound rcasoncr, entertains broad and liberal
a views, expresses his opinions freely and fear-
le6sly, has nothing old-fogyish about him, but
, la active, energetic, true as steel, and has al-
most any quantity of that highly essential in-
gredient "back-bone." His election would
send a thrill of satisfaction through thousands
of warm and patriotic hearts in Western Pcnn-
sylvania, and the laboring men in every sec
: tlon of our glorious old Commonwealth would
havo another advocate in the councils of the
Nation upon whom they could rely at all times,
e having himself sprung from that class, and be-
ing "native and to the manor born."

THE SECESSION MOVEMENT.
A number of citizens of Maryland having !
applied to Governor Hicks, of that State, to
call together the State Legislature, to cods id
er tho disunion question, he replies by refus
ing the request. Tho Governor is willing to
go as far us possible in defence of Southern
rights ; but he is unwilling to place Maryland
in the position of seeming to entertain treas
onable designs against the Government and tho
Union.
A largo meeting of the people, irrespective
of party, took place in Essex county, Virgina,
on Monday a-week, headed by lion. M. R. II.
Garnett, at which resolutions were unanimous
ly passed appealing to South Carolina and
other States to forbear until Virginia could bo
heard, and calling on all the States to meet in
Convention, and to make ono more effort hon
orably to preserve the Union and tho guaran
tees under the Constitution.
The Hon. Herschel V. Johnson, late candi
date for Vice President on the Douglas ticket,
has written a letter to the people of Georgia
taking the ground of Mr. Stephens, depreca
ting secession movements in advance of ag
gressions under Mr. Lincoln's Administration,
and advocating the policy of standing upon
tho Georgia platfoim of 18o0. ' . ,
The last number of the Raleigh, North Car
olina, Standard, for many years the able expo
nent of the Democratic party of North Caro
lina, contains several articles in which the edi
tor announces his determination to resist the
Disunionists to the death. His conservative
and fearless conduct lost him the position of
of State printer,but he defies his enemies with
equal eloquence and spirit.
At Louisville, Kentucky, on Monday night,
tho 26th November, a mass meeting was held,
composed of men of all parties, at which reso
lutions were adopted declaring that Kentuc
ky does not despair of justice with the Union,
and appealing to the South not to desert the
common cause.
Senator Douglas, in .a recent speech made
by him at Vicksburg, Miss., declared that he
was in favor of tho maintenance of the Union
under the Constitution, and said the Adminis
tration of Lincoln was powerless, as both hou
ses of Congress ,werc opposed to his policy,
and if the South kept her members in their
scats he would be unable to carry out a single
measure of Republicanism. Ho was repeat
edly cheered by the crowd, and the Senator
remarked that ho considered it a good omen
that Union sentimcuts were still appreciated
at tho most important point in Mississippi.
Gov. Gist, of South Carolina, sent a mes
sage to the Legislature ot that State, on the
27th November, in which he says that in view
of the proposed secession, it becomes doubly
important upon that State to have a direct
trade with Europe, and advises that enterpri
ses for such purposes be fostered by guarantees
of say 6 per cent. Tho Governor is author
ized to say that, iu the event of secession, the
Postmaster at Charleston will sever his con
nection with the Federal Government, and
this, with the resignation of postmasters gen
erally, will enable the State to establish postal
arrangements for herself. The use of Adams'
Express is suggested as a temporary expedi
ent to carry tho mails, and also an arrange
ment with the Federal authorities until the
other States secede and the Southern Confed
eracy is formed. In order to force the border
Slave States to join tho new Confederacy, he
counsels the prohibition of the introduction
of Slaves into South Carolina from States that
are not members of the same. This would
also serve as an excuse to re-open the African
Slave trade. The Governor advises the most
stringent laws agninst Abolition incendiaries,
in order to supersede the necessity of the
lynching process now in use. Referring to
the failuro to obtain co-operation for a confer
ence except from Mississippi and Alabama,
he says but one course is left to South Caroli
na, consistently with her honor, her interest,
and her safety, and that is to back neither to
the right nor to the lett, but to go straightfor
ward to tho consummation of,her purpose. It
is too late to receive proposals for a general
conference and South Carolina would be wan
ting in self-respect if she should entertain a
proposition looking to her continuance in the
Union. Tho Governor thinks that Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Texas and Ar
kansas will follow the example of his State,
and eventually the other Southern States will
complete the galaxy. Ho says he cannot be
lieve that in the madness of passion an attempt
will bo made by the next administration to cor
rect South Carolina after her secession by re
using to surrender the harbor defences, or
interfering with her imports and exports ; but
if mistaken they must accept the issue, and
meet it as becomes men and freemen, who in
finitely prefer ann ihilation to disgrace.
No intelligent man doubts now that the Se
cessionists have seized upon Lincoln's elec
tion as an opportunity, not as a cause, for the
present movement. Their treasonable scheme
was concocted years ago. This Is admitted by
some of their prominent men. Mr. McGowan,
a member of the House of Representatives of
South Carolina, and a recognised leader in
the State, said in the course of a debate In the
House on the 9th of November:
"We have long been satisfied as to the cau
ses of dissolution. ' We avail ourselves of the
election of Lincoln, but it is not with us the
only cause of complaint. We have remained
in the Union for the purpose of obtaining the
co-operation of our Southern sisters to ar
range the time when, and the manner how,
and for nothing else .'" :- ""'-.
Can any reasonable man doubt, after such an
acknowledgment, that the Disunionists would
long since havo broken up the Union, if they
could possibly have succeeded in doing so ?

FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW. .
The Democratic papers have recently been
saying a great deafabout several of the North
ern States, including Pennsylvania, having
laws to obstruct tho Fugitive Slave Act. The
following extract from an exchange will per
haps enlighten some folks about the design
and nature of the Pennsylvania law : uy
In 1826, the Legislature of Pennsylvania
passed the act "to give effect to the provisions
of the Constitution of the United States, rel
ative to fugitives from labor, for the protection
of people of color, and to prevent kid nap
ping." .Under this act a person, named Ed
ward Prigg, was indicted ; by the Grand Jury
ot York county for having carried off a negro
woman from the State, with intent to sell, and
dispose 'of her as a slave." The negro was
shown and admitted to have been a slave who
had escaped from Maryland. The defendant,
Prigg, was agent of her owner, who had ob
tained a warrant from a magistrate, in accord
ance with the act of 182G, on which the negro
was arrested and brought before the magistrate,
who then refused to havo anything to do with
the case. Prigg then took the slave back to
Maryland without complying with the provis
ions of that act, requiring him to establish his
claim before a magistrate. And lor this be
was indicted under tho act. The defendant
'was found guilty, and the case was carried up
on appeal to the Supreme Court of the United
States, which gave a jno forma judgment a
gainstthe defendant, and thence to the Su
preme Court of the United States. On the
argument before tho latter tribunal the cause
was conducted on the footing of an amicable
suit between Pennsylvania andMary!and,wbich
had becone a party in interest : and the eood
faith of Pennsylvania in passing tho. act of
was admitted bjUhe counsel for the de
fendant. The Supreme Court decided that
that part ot the act of 1825 under which the
defendant has been indicted and convicted for
kidnapping, was , unconstitutional ; because
under the clause of the Constitution, the own
er a fugitive slave had the right of recaution.
provided be can do it without any breach of
the peace or illegal violence. And the court
went further and decided, though with some
dissenting voices, that the whole of the por
tion of tho act which provided tho mode in
which the reclamation of fugitives rom labor
should be conducted was unconstitutional, be
cause Congress has exclusive jurisdiction over
the subject. The court further decided that
the constitutionality of tho power conferred
upon State magistrates by the act of Congress
of 1793 was doubtful, . although such magis
trates might, if they choose, exercise that au
thority, unless forbidden by the State Legisla
ture. (Tlie case was decided in 1842,and the act
against kidnapping being held to be unconsti
tutional, a large class of persons were left
without any protection from abduction ; since,
if tha negro stealer could only escape with his
victim to a slave State, he would be able to
dispose of him beyond recall. Accordingly,
the Legislature of this State, in 1847, passed
an act on this subject, which is still in force,
except a single section repealed in 1852 for
bidding the use of the State and comity'piis
ons for the detention of fugitive slaves. This
act is In substance, as follows : The first and
second sections against kidnapping are almost
identical with those ot the act ot 1826, except
that the words "free negro or mulatto" are
used instead of "negro or mulatto." These
sections have since been held constitutional.
The third section prohibits judges and other
magistrates of the State from exercising anv
jurisdiction in fugitive slave cases. This sec
tion is predicated upon the principle recog
nized by the United States Supreme Court,
that the States have a right to prohibit their
magistrates from acting under the fugitive
slave law of 1793. The admission f the court
that a State might prohibit her magistrates
from acting under a Congressional law, did
not require that every State should proceed to
do so. Now, however, the present fugitive
slave law, by implication, takes away the pow
er to act under it from all State judges and
magistrates, and confides these powers exclu
sively to the United States commissioners and
judges? The fourth section of the act of 1817
prohibits the owner of the fugitive from re
taking him in a violent and tumultuous man
ner, so as to disturb or endanger the public
peace, and imposes a penalty or fine, of not
more than one thousand dollars, and imprison
ment lor not more than three months, on con
viction. The limitation to the right of recap
tion, indicated by the Supreme Conrt,was that
the owner must exercise it without any breach
of the peace or illegal violence. The fifth sec
tion of the act of 1847 reserves the right of
the State judges to fssue writs of habeas cor
pus in all cases of arrest and imprisonment.
This act has been re-enacted ia the penal coda
passed at the last session of the Legislature,
with an additional section, prohibiting, under
a penalty of five hundred dollars, any attempt
to enforce a sale made within this State of a
fugitive slave who is within this State at the
time of the sale. ;
The Next Apportionment. Undor the
next apportionment, which will give one mem
ber of Congress to about 125,000 population,
the West will gain thirteen members. But O
hio will lose a member, and Michigan gain
two; Wisconsin will gain three, doubling her
present number: Iowa, with two at present.
will have five members, if not six; Indiana
may gain one ; Illinois will have thirteen to
her present nine ; Missouri will have nine a-
gainst seven at present; but Minnesota will
lose one of her present members, and contin
ue till 187a with but one Representative on
the floor of the House. .
Concress. Both Houses of Congress met
on Monday and were regularly organized.. A
committee, consisting of Messrs. Bigler, Ma
son and Collamer was appointed by tho Senate,
and another, consisting of Messrs. Moorhead,
Bocock and Adams of Ky., by the House, to
wait on the President and inform him that a
quorum in both branches was present and
reaay to receive any communication he might
have to make ; after which they adjourned.

T OUTRAGES UPON N0RTHEEN MEN.
1 .The steamer Alabama from Savannah, Geor- i
gia, reached New York a few days since, hav
ing amomg her passengers Mr. James Sinclair,
a native and lifetime resident of that City.
Mr. Sinclair says that, being out of employ
ment at home, he went to Savannah about the
8th of November intending to go on to Au
gusta, where be had a brother, in the hope of
obtaining work in his regular line of business.
He took up temporary lodging at the City
Hotel in Savannah. Numerous inquiries were
made as to himself and business, which not
being satisfactorily answered, eventuated in
an order from the Vigilance Committee com
manding , bis immediate departure. ..Not
complying instantly with? the: order, he was
called upon by a man who asked a few minutes
private conversation. On stepping on tho
side-walk Mr.' Sinclair was immediately seized
by about 30 men, who dragged him along the
street, brandishing all the while revolvers and
bowie-knives, nsing blasphemous and obscene
epithets, and throwing quids of tobacco in his
eyes, accompanied by blows from the butt of
a pistol and . threats of instant death. On
reaching the City Park, ho was completely
stripped, compelled to prostrate himself with
his face to. the ground, and, amidst vain ap
peals to the police, was lashed brutally with a
cat-o'-nine-tails, larcerating the flesh in a
frightful manner. ' After this he was told that
he must run for his .life, which ho did, and
leaping a fence, evaded his pursuers., ne
managed to slip, back to he hotel, where he
staid over night but was told it would not be
safe for him to remain, or for the landlord to
keep him there. The illtreated man applied
to the Captain of the Alabama, who refused to
take him on board; but after remaining ; se
creted until the vessel was about sailing, he
managed to conceal himself below and to keep
hid until the vessel got fur out to sea. To
corroberate his statement, Mr. Sinclair exhib
ited the yet unhealed sores on his back made
by the lash, the boots and pistol of tho Vigi
lance Committee. Another victim of these
outrages, who was arrested at the same time
and treated in the same inhuman manner, al
so escaped with bis life, and reached the home
ot his widowed mother iu New l ork on the
27th. : . . ' -:....::.
, Mr. Wm. T. Reynolds, the son of a respec
table New York merchant, stites that, while
boarding at the City Hotel in Savannah, he re
ceived, on the 28th Nov., notice that he was
suspected of being an Abolitionist," and
that be must "leave town on or before Tues
day next, or else suffer the consequences."
Mr. Reynolds, with a Savannah gentleman,
called upon the Mayor, who told him tol pay
no attention to the notice and to defend him
self if attacked. On Thursday the 22d, the
Vigilance Committee waited on him and told
him uuless ho could give "good reference as
to character," &c, they would give him a
"tight jacket." Tho next day he presented
the following "pass," which saved his life :
"This is to state that, so far as my knowl
edge of Mr. Reynolds is concerned, (and prob
ably I have seen as much of him as any man
in tho City of Savannah.) he has always con
ducted himself as becomes a gentleman, and
that of a good and orderly citizen, and never,
in my hearing or to my knowledge, has he ut
tered one word derogatory to Southern insti
tutions or Southern rights.
Yours respect I iilly, James Bilbo.
Savannah, Nov. 23, 1SC0,
Endorsed by P. G. Thomas and G. W. Lawton.
After being discTiarged from custody on the
strength of the above "Puss," he was assured
by the President and officers of this Vigilance
Committee that hereafter he could consider
himself "their brother." Two hours after
gard he learned that they were in search for
him, having determined to hang him.
Mr. R. T. Sherman of New York city, and
recently clerk of the Pulaski House, Savan
nah, and one of the Minute Men of that city,
gives the following account of the brutal treat
ment and subsequent death of a respectable
grocer of Savannah whoes crime consists of
being a native of the State of New York :
"The Vigilance Committee, which is compos
ed of wealthy and respectable members of
society, having learned that Mr. John Byler,
a grocer in West broad street, was. a native of
New-York, determined "to get rid of him.
An accusation of tampering with slaves, and
of allowing them to sit at his table, was trump
ed up against him, and he was ordered to leave
the city. He did not obey. Consequently,
on Saturday, the 17th of Nopcmber, the Com
mittee called on him, took him at somo little
distance from the city, stripped him, and then
applied a coating of hot tar and cold cotton.
They then started .him on a run, and he fear
ing that his life depended upon his legs, ran
to so good purpose that he had nearly reached,
tired and exhausted, a place of safety, when
a brutal policeman struck him heavily up
on the back of the head with his pistol, fiac
turing his skull and forcing him upon the
ground This was en the 17th of November,
and on Saturday, the 21th, he was buried. .
A Kansas Item. We aro informed by an
intelligent gentleman from Southern Kansas,
who in no way sympathizes with Montgomery
and his recent acts, that one of the prominent
disturbing elements leading to the late out
break, was the act of the State of Arkansas
expatriating her free' colored population!
Our readers will remember that something
more than a year ago the Legislature of that
State enacted a law requiring all free persons
of color, who should remain within its limits
after a certain date, to choose masters and en
ter into the blessings of slavery. Man v of the
pariahs, thus crually smitten by the hand of
power, fled to the Canadas. Others went to
Ohio and other Northern States. But n con
siderable number, residing in the Western and
Northwestern counties, migrated to the Cher
okee country and southern Kansas. Hardly
had they , become settled in the latter region
when a gang of kidnappers, having their head
quarters in Missouri, commenced stealing and
selling them to traders for the Southern slave
markets. Among these Russel Hinds was
particularly prominent and especially offensive.
His arrest and execution by Jennison and his
men, was the first act cf the recent outbreak.

Hamlin never was called a mulatto until he be
came a Republican. Our own knowledge and
estimate of the man is that he is an upright,
fearless, and conscientious statesman. He
could never have won his way in the Demo

' PREPARED FOR THE "RArTSIUS' JOCRSAt.
Centre CocsTr. On Saturday night, Nov.
24th, Lewis Sherman, Eminger Rndy and Levi
Miller made their escape from tho Bellefonte
jail. It is evident that the doors were unloos
ed by persons on the outside, witn iaise Keys.
The day previous six young men reached
Bellefonte in the Lock Haven stage, and judg
ing from the fact that they were missing the
next morning, and other circumstances, it is
evident they were accomplices, of Sherman,
who is doubtless connected with a gang of
burglars who have robbed persons so frequent
ly in different sections of the county. About
eight years ago, Sherman made his first ap
pearance atBoalsburg, where he won the affec
tions and married an accomplished and beau
tiful lady. Afterwards he went to Bellefonte.
There he induced a young - girl to leave her
home and go with him to Philadelphia, where
he deserted her. A warrant was issued for
his arrest, but he escaped to Illinois. Rob
bing a bank in that State, he was sent to the
penitentiary, from which he escaped and re
turned to the western part of Centre county
again. The store of Mr. Hahn of Boalsbnrg
having been robbed in July, he was traced to
Stone Valley, and on' his arrest a few weeks
since, some of Mr. Hahn's goods were found
secreted in the attic of the house, to which
access was had through an opening in the
ceiling, that was by mere chance ' observed by
the persons who mide the search. . . f. An at
tempt was made ono day last week to break
into the house of James Hamilton, who resides
on the Lewistown road about 3 miles east
of Bellefonte, but some nnusualtnoisc frigh
tened the scoundrels away before they had
accomplished their purpose.
Potter County. On Saturday the 17th
Nov., Eli Rees, Esq., Treasurer of tho Coun
ty, .was instantly, killed, by the accidental
explosion of a gun in the hands of a young
man named Daniel Reed, of Roullet township.
The two men had started to look after some
lands in McKean county. "They lost their way
in the woods, but finally came out on the roid
leading from Port Allegheny to Shippen, at a
small run that led to. the land they were
looking for. On their return they stopped at
a coal mine, and were about starting away
from it, when , young Reed hastily picked up
his gun, which he had with him, when a twig
caught the hammer and caused an explosion,
the ball entering Mr. Rees' back immediately
under the left shoulder blade, causing death
in a few minutes, . Mr. Reed hastened to
Grimes', a distance of over 3 miles, and in
formed them of the accident, when several
persons accompanied him to the place where
the dead man was lying, and assisted to con-
i vey him to Coudersport. where his wife, four
sons and a daughter reside.
Clarion County. On Saturday the 10th
Nov., as John A. Humphrey, James O. Nulf
and Amos M'Mullen, with two horses and a
wagon, were crossing the bridge over Red
Bank, near M'Elvy's mill, and when near the
middle of the structure, it gave way and pre
cipitated tho whole party into the current,
which was very high at the time. They all
floated down the stream about a mile aud a
half, and were taken up near Anthony's. The
horses were almost exhausted. Humphrey's
skull is badly fractured, and has been tiepan
cd by Mr. James Steuart, of Greenville, taking
out four pieces of bone, the smallest the size
of a new cent piece case doubtful. Null's
collar bone is broken and injured in the back,
and is now doing well. M'Mullen was but
slightly hurt. ,
Washington Cocntv. A littls daughter of
Mr. Martin Lowry, of Independence township,
was so badly burned, on the 17th Nov., by
her clothes taking fire, that she died in About
12 hours after. Her parents had lett the room
but a ftw minutes, when the child's clothes
came in contact with the grate fire, and before
the flames could be extinguished, the entire
surface of her body was burned to a crisp... . .
On the 23d, the dwelling houso of Samuel
Jamison, in the same township, with all its
contents, was destroyed by fire, which broke
out late at night. It was with difficulty that

milE TRIBUNE FOR 1801. PROS! V
JL TUS. The XXth Yo'umo of the Vw:y i . ,
bunc commenced with the issue of Sept. 1. iY
ingthe past year The Tribune has been obliged ;
devote quite a large proportion of its space to " -itics,
but we shall soon be able to forego Poiiti.-a
discussions almost entirely, for months if nctf .i
years, aud devote nearly all our columns to sub
jects of less intense, but more abiding, interest. A
inong these, we mean to pay especial Htieniiou is
I. F.nrcATiox. The whole subject of Eduiatijn.
both Popular and General, will be discussed iii
our columns throughout the year 1 Sfil . nd
hope to elicit in th.it discussion some of the .ro
foundest thinkers and the ablest instructors in our
couutry. It is at once our hope and our reulvi
that the cause of Education shall receive an im
petus from the exertions of The Tribune in i'.s tv
half during the year 101.
II. Agkktltcke. We havo been compt lU J t
restrict our elucidations of. this great intrir
throughout 18(0.and shall endeavor to atone th
for in 1861. Whatever discovery, deduction.
monstration. is calculated to render the rewar.i
labor devoted to cultivation more ample or in
certain, shall receive prompt and full attention.
III. Man CFACTrKF-S, i.c. We hail every is
vention or enterprise whereby American Capi'a
and Labor are attracted to and advantageous
employed in any department of Manufacturing or
Mechanical Industry as a real contribution to the
Public Weal, insuring ampler, steadier, more'eon
venient, in on; remunerating markets to the Farm
er, with fuller employment and better wagoa t
the Laborer. The progress of Mining, Iron-Mv
king, Steel-Making, Cloth-Weaving, Ac, i.i our
country and the world, shall bo watched and repor
ted by us with an earnest and active sympathy.
IV. Foreign Affairs. We employ the best cor
respondents in London, Paris, Turin, Berlin, aui
other European Capitols, to transmit us early an.
accurate advices of the great changes there silent
ly but eertainly preparing. In spite of the pres
sure of Domestic Politics, our News from the Old
World is now varied and ample; but we shall
havo to render it more perfect during tho event
ful year just before us.
V. Home News. We employ regular paid cor
respondents in California, nt the Isthmus of I'
rien, in the Rocky Mount-tin gold region, or whet
ever else they seem requisite. From the more so
cessible portions of our own country, we dcri"'
our information mainly from the multifarious et.
respondents of tho Associated Press, from our ex
changes, and the occasional letters of intcllitit
friends. We aim to print the cheapest gcticrji
newspaper, with the fullest and most autbrntr
summary of useful iutelligoacok taat isanvwher
afiWded. Hoping to "make each day acritiooj
the last," and print a better and better paper fro
year to year, as cur means are steadily enlr-l
through tho generous co-operation of our nu
well-wishers, we solicit, and shall labor to d?
serve. continuance of public favor.
