odist Episcopal Church, at 11 o'clock; A. M.,

byterian church, at 7 o'clock, P. M. It being

Bye FOR CASII.-A cotemporary says if we
would get rich, we must not Carry pass-hooks.
Credit is the tempter in a new shape. Buy
dry goods on trust, and you will purchase a
thousand articles that Cash would never have
dreamed of. A dollar in the hand looks lar
ger than ten dollars seen through the perspec.
tire of a sixty day due bill. Cash is practical,
while Credit takes horribly to taste and ro
mance. Let Cash buy a dinner, and you will
have beefstake flanked with onions. Send
Credit to market, and he will return with eight
pairs of woodcocks and a peck of mushrooms
Credit believes in double breasted pins and
champagne suppers. Cash is more easily
satisfied. Give him three meals a day, and
he don't care much if two of them are made
up of roasted potatoes and a little dirty salt.
Cash is a good adviser, while Credit is the best
fellow to be on visiting terms with. If you
want double chins and contentment, do bassi
nets with Cash.

The Public Works.
say-There having been no bids for the Pub- 1 ,
lie Works at the price fixed by Legislature
last session, the law requires the Governor to
invite proposals fir the purchase, the bids to
be laid before the next Legislature. Gov.
Bigler consequentlyannounces that sealed pro
posals for the purchase of the main line, or any
division thereof, will be received at the office of
the Secretary of the Commonwealth until Mon
day, the first day of January next. The pro
posals must state distinctly whether the bid is
for the whole line or part, or tor what part.
BERMUDA AND CUBA. -An important item of
sews by the Canada is; that Lord Paltnerston
has gone to Paris, to consult on some plan of
action to be taken conjointly with France, in
case the United States should persist in acqui
ring the island of Cuba. If these two nations
intend to ally themselves, as intermeddlers in
the affairs or the entire world, they still have
their hands full ! As for Lord Palmerston, he
will soon find out that .‘young America" is be
ginning to have serious thoughts as to the pol
icy of permitting the British to occupy Bermu
da, a point which commands the entire Atlan
tic coast of our country. They may be served
with a notice to quit, at the same time we pur
chase Cuba. We du not like neighbors who
are poking their noses too impertinently into
our business.—Sun.
REMOVAL OF THE INDIANS IN THE NORTH TO

Grass rally Telegraph that S. P. Storms has
been appointed Indian Agent for the middle

Ranch on Monday next, to make arrangements
for their removal to the new Reservation in the

is also the name of a tribe in the vicinity. The
remnants et a number of tribes is the north
will be removed to the Reservation this winter.
Preparations are being made fur their reception
—crops of grain, vegetables, he., sufficient fur
their future maintenance, will be put iu as soon

•` 'We believe the conviction is universal that

been in so critical a condition since the great
overthrow or 1840. The ranks of the enemy
are largely recruited from a variety of sources,
and, what is worse, our own strength is seri•

we confidently predict that the selection will
justify the confidence placed in the judgment
of Guy. Pollock by the people of Pennsylvania.

am strongly inclined to fight on the side of the
"Know Nothings"—a name, by the way, that
I think they are no more entitled to than the
party now in power are to the name of Demo
cracy, for so far front their knowing nothing, I
think they know a great deal more than any
other party in the country. They know how
to do what they undertake to do, and general
ly do it up pretty brown. They don't stop,
like that fellow Macbeth, to soliloquize and
reason thus:—
“If it were done, when 'tis done, then 'twere well
It were done quickly,—”
but they go to the work pell•rnell ; and do it in
the time he was talking about it; and that is the
way 1 have always liked to see good things
duce.
Now, in the language of the day, "I don't
know nothing at all about them," but this I do
know, that if my house is infested with rats,
mice, coek•roaches, bed bugs, ants, musqui•
toes, and other plagues, 1 go to an apothecary,
and ask him if he has anything that will re•
lieve me of these nuisances, and he offers me
a powder that he tells me will surely extermi•
sate them or drive them all away—l will not
refuse to buy it, nor stop to quarrel with bite
because I don't know what kind of poison it is
—1 am satisfied to know that it will accent
' pits!' my object—that it will drive out the ruts
and the 'nice and the roaches, Stc. Now 1
think this great National burn dears, is filled
with all these various tormenting pests, and I
feel us if 1 should be willing to help to scatter
the poison that will drive them out—and when
we once purify and cleanse the burn, it will
nut be a very difficult matter to keep it clean.
Perhaps I should apologize, gentlemen, for
answering your letter at such length, but I
could out say less if 1 had anything to say
about Nebraska, for while I may have said too
much for y ‘ ou, I have said too little to du my
self justice; but what I have said, I think, and
all are welcome to know it. It has never
been my habit to withhold my opinions to pro•
palate any party or any section of country. I
say what my judgment and reason approve,
and let the consequences take care of them
selves.

The best that can be said for the news on
the part of the allies is, that it is of a chequer.

has been fought, and victories gained, each
"victory" costing as much as a defeat. At the

drawn, that the Russians, equally with the al

that the defences of Sebastopol were underra

A desptach from Prince Menchikolf, sent to
Berlin in cypher, and thence forwarded by a
special courier to Paris, states that on Novem

to storm)—General Lipraudi. reinforced by a
corpse sent by Mensehikolf, had attacked the
allied camp, and killed 800 men.

The Ai army sustained the attack with

English position.
"The enemy who far out numbered our force,

8000 to 9000 men.
The struggle lasted the whole day.

Nothing else was known.

yards from the walls, and that they effected a
practicable breach.
The Dannbe—Advanee of the Turks.
From Jassy, November 10th, it is telegraph

activity, and produces much sensation in the
principalities. It is not doubted that the Tar
kish army is in a condition to resume the often

person on the Pruth.
Odessa letters say that the Russian forces
in the Delta of the Denude will probably be
removed to the Upper Pruth, and only three
garrisons will be left in the fortified places.
Gen. Dialers, it is said, will evacuate the south
ern part of Bessarabia, if Sebastopol falls, an
the allies will then act against Odessa and
Ackerman.
gerNEwscsrens, of all shades of politica
throughout the state, appear to concur - pretty
generally in the necessity of abolishing the
Canal Board. The Republican, of this be
rough, with no more sincerity than plausibility,
suggests that the Whigs are disposed to adopt
this plan, not for the purpose of effecting a sale,
but for the opposite purpose of retaining the
political power springing from the immense
patronage of the Board, and the disbursement
of millions of the public funds.
Such suggestions are wholly unfounded. In
the first place, Whigs are generally ofthe opin
ion that the public works have been the means
of breaking down the Democratic party by the
universal disgust with which the conduct of the
Canal Board has been regarded. Iu the nex t
place, it is very cvinent that before any arrange
:nests can safely and properly lie made for the
sale of the public lines of improvement, the
Canal Board, Whose interest it is to thwart such
arrange:netts, must be got out of the way.
Abolish the Canal Board, place the lines in the
hands of a "commission for the sale of the
Public Works," consisting of three or five of
the best business men in the State. and make
it their duty to dispose of the same at the ear
liest possible period.
Meanwhile this commission can take charge
of the lines, conduct the business, and make all
temporary repairs and provisions that may be
required; but let us have no more expenditures
for improvements. stop the leak.,—Ex.
VEGETABLE SERPENT.—ACCOrding to BOMB
Italian journals, a new organized being has
been discovered in the interior of Africa, which
seems to form an immediate link between re.
getable and animal life. This singular pro.
duction of nature has the shape of a spotted
serpent. It drags itself along the groucd ; in.
stead of a head, has a flower shaped like a bell,
which contains a vicious liquid. Flies, and
other insects, attracted by the smell of the juice,
enter into the flower, where they are caught by
the adhesive matter. The flower then closes
and remains shut till the prisoner are bruised
and transtbrmed into chyle. The indigestible
portions, such as the head and wings, are
thrown out by two aspired openings. The ve •
getable serpent has a skin resembling leaves,
white and soft flesh, and instead of a bony skel
eton, a cartilaginous frame filled with yellow
matter. The natives cosider it delicious food.
