THE COMING HOLIDAYS.
We are happy to see that whatever the
times May be, or whatever may be thought
about them, there is still a joyous antici
pntion of the holidays, and pleasant proofs .
in many directions, that whatever, clouds
there may have been, the world is pretty
well determined that, for a season at leant,
there shall be gleams of home- light.
Of all touching incidents not involving
real grief, there is hardly one so touching
as that of the giver who would gladly be
generous, timidly preparing with many
misgivings the little offerings, wherewith
so many hopes are bound up—a problem
of hope.
There are substantial reasons why the
coming holidays should be kept with par
ticular festivity and with more than won
ted rejoicing The whole community
has parsed through tight times and is on
the mending hand. Perhaps nothing
would go further towards promoting its
convalescence than the prospect of a down.
right good holiday, or help more towards
getting people's spirits up for renewed
exertion.
A liberal scattering around of small
change among the dealers would do far
more than most persons would imagine
towards stirring up business, promoting
better feeling nud providing employment
for those who most need it.
There is a great deal of common sense
in promoting seasons of jo3ous festivity
and hearty mirth, and in seeking to do
our best towards bringing lightness of
heart into a life nine tenths of all whose
social eharacteristics are tinged with grim
seriousness, if not with almost invincible
melancholy. it is the failing of the An
glo Saxon of the present day that he has
no appreciation of joyousness. Ile looks
upon it occasionally with a misgiving smile
as the trifle of the moment, and tolerates
pleasure ana tee &Rama,
anything which he dreads may ruin him
if more than casually glanced at. Let
those who have been gifted in nnderstsn
ding this matter, do their best towards
making the world feel that the New
Year's tide is not a period of frivolous non
for the delectation of
children, but a time which ought, if possi•
ble, to be cultivated into social cinninunion
rest front labor and all manner of consoling
and inspiring pleasures,
-But there is a ground of Christian char
ity for helping holidays nlong, which•is by
far too little regarded. The grim Phan.
sees may not care themselves for joyous •
ness, but do they care nothing for the hap-
piness of the poor and the young 1 A
poet has finely sung that once
'A Christmas bouquet oft would cheer
A poor man's hearth for bathe year.'
And the idea is a very hne one. To
see the holidays pass by without a trace of
the usual festivities, is dreary indeed,
since nothing brings home to them so keen,
ly the tact that they are indeed suffering.
In good natured, kind-hearted old Germa.
ny, them are associations for the sole ob.
ject of providing tha children of very poor
parents with holiday gifts. 'there is a
degree of humanity in such charity which
we could wish to see generally imitated.
sr The Philadelphia Nor th dimeri.
can and United State., Gazette, made its
appearance a few days ago in an entirely
new dress.
The North 4merican is one of the best
dailies published in Philadelphia, and is
deserving of extensive patronage. Long
may it prosper.

DotIGLAS DENOUNCED BY MR,
SOUTH.
Senator Douglas bits been fairly bastish

elaborate leader in the Washington Union
and in the Richmond South, have done
the business. Ile is hereafter to be clan

cold" with Black Republicans, and sinners
that is, unless the President and his friends
are mistaken as to their strength, about
which point there is still some reason to
, doubt.
We subjoin the following passages front
the editorial of the South, on the defection
of Douglas. They are peculiarly rich:
"By all the mysterious rites appropri
ate to the celebration of so signal an epos
tacy, Stephen A. Douglas renounces the
faith of the Democracy, and is received
into the communion of the Black Republi

"We cannot affect indifference at the
treachery of Senator thuglas. He was a

salutary influence to which he owes the
improvement in his manner wrought a
wholesome change in his political opin.

the whites 47,203. Florida was admitted as

quite clear that Florida had not near as many
white inhabitants as the total above quoted for
Oregon when she was admitted into the Uni•

DREADFUL MURDER TN LANCAS
TER COUNTY.
We learn from the Lancaster pavers. thnt on
Tuesday last two women residing near Neffs
ville, Lancaster county, were murdered in
broad day light. The persons killtci were hits.
Garber, wife of Conrad Gerber, supervisor' .
and tax collectior of Manhoim township, and
Mrs. Ream, an elderly lady and relative of the
°arbors. It appears that the WOllllOll were ut
the time, alo n e in the house, which is situated
on a by road—the husband having been ab
sent on some business. Mrs. Garber was 55
years of age last October, and Mrs. Ream was
aged about 60. Mr. Garber, who is Supervisor
of fdanheim township, loP: his home between
6 and 7 o'cock in the morning, to supervise the
repair rf a road about two miles distant. Mrs,
Garber was alone in the house in the early
part of the day, but was joined Ly Mrs. Ream,
who lives with her sort oti the hill, about ono
I hundred and fifty yards from Garber's. The
families are connected by marriage. A (laugh.
ter of We. Garber is married to a son of Mrs.
Ream. At one o'clock yonng. Mrs. Ream
started down the hill for the purpose of keep
ing the old people company, and on entering
the house was horrified to find her mother and
mother-in-law stretched cold and lifeless upon
the floor, and weltering in their own blood.-
-She had presence of mind enough to immedi
ately give the alarm, arm within half an moor
the neighbors came in from every direeton.
Twii men, one a negro, and the other a ma.
lame, were mu to enter the hones about
teen minutes before eleven. o'clock, and no
other person was seen near or around the boom

daughter made the discovery. Pursuit being
made by the police, the nogroes, named Wit.
Liam Richards, and Alexander Anderson, were
arrested. They are residente of Lancaster,
and have long been known as thieves—spend-
Mg the greater pectin of their time ia the .
county prison. When searched upward. of
$9O in gold and silver was found upon their
persons, which amount corresponds with that
which Mr. Garber says was in the pozsession
of his wife. They were also seen in and a•
round the premises by Meson. Geist, Knelt
mau, Buckwalter and other neighbors of Mr. I
Gather. There in no doubt that the object of
the murderers was to get possession of the mon•
ey said to be in the house.
There was also considerable blood upon
their clothing. The evidence against them is
of such a character as to leave no doubt of
thei , guilt. The feeling against the murder
ere was so great while they were undergoing
examination, that fears were entertained the
excited crowd would inflict summary ven•
geance upon them. A few momenta, how.
I ever, served to calm the excitement and the
i officers were allowed to convey them to prin.
, ei without let or hindrance.

And as it is by means of published sermons of

world as to their intentions, it cannot be deni
ed that "a State of war" already exists; that
i martial law prevails throughout Utah, and that
it is unsafe fur any person not a Mormon to
travel through that Territory. These sermons
are filled with hatred of all that is American,
and express a 'determination to resist tiny and

WALK., Tea FILLIBUSTIeIt.--Walker. the fit
libuster, who, it will be recollected, took his de-'
parture from Mobile Buy on the 13th ult., in
the steamship Fashion, landed at Punta Arena'
in Nicaragua. on the all of November, with
ISO men. The United Stateasloopool-war Sur-
atop, was lying in the harbor, and the
passed tirder her stern at full speed, with only'
ten men on deck, and betore any suspicion was !
entertained as to the character of the Fashion,
or the company she had on board, landed her
men at the Transit Company's wharf at Punta
Arenas, opposite l3reytown. After acct. pl
ing this feat, the Fashion, it would ROOM, wan
suffered to steam out of the harbor with as lit- !
tae interruption from the Saratoga as she had
met within steaming in. She proceeded to
Aspinwall to take in coal. Such is the account
of the affair given by those on board the Fault..
ion. It is further stated that Commodore Paul. !
1
ing, lying at Aspinwall in the frigate Wabash,
overhauled the Fashion, but finding her papers
regular, omitted to seise her. The British and
American naval forces had sailed from Aspin-
wall for San Juan, and would very probably
take part in the scenes, in that vicinity, or at
least prevent the landing of any more fillibus•
tern. It was supposed that the difficulties be.
tweeit ! Costa Rica atil Nicaragua, n luded to in
provions accounts, would be settled without a
resort to hostile measures. Walker, from pre•
sent appearances, is likely - to be again in a tignt
place. But all his movements so far have been
sash and reckless, trusting apparently to lucky
chance to befriend him, .d neglecting to pro•
vide beforehand the means neeessay to }teem

They were purchased lu a French gentleman,

arrived nt New York, brings the California
snails of November 20, and $2.280,000 in gold.
The news from California present no feature , of
:.turtling intereSt. The principal items relate
to the business altairs cf San Francisca, and
the damage caused by Envy rains on the into•
r;or. The fortneial difficulties which were en•
perieeeed oe this side of the continent 41.1 n.
seem to take as deep root on the Pacific coat
as was anticipated, and as early as the sa;:in
of the last steamer we have indications that the
shock was passing stf without materially Rife,

RESUMPTION OP SP6CIE PAYMENTS.—The
Banks of Now York City, Albany, Nov York
Boston, Massachusetts, Hartford, Connectiout,
Honesdale, Pennsylvania, and Phillipsburg,
New Jersey, have resumed specie payments.
The New York country Banks us well as nonce
of the Now England Bo- ks are following the
example. The banks New Orleans have
been paying specie for some time. Those of
Mobile did not suspend. The Banks of
Phila

Philadelphia will' probably anticipate the time

day of April, and resume also.
SORGHUM MoLtsszi—Hr. Jacob Clarlto, of
Clermont county, Ohio, has inanufactured
830 gallons of molasses from twelve acres of
the Sorghum, equal to 236 gallons per acre.—
He has had ten of the 71 barrels refitted by a
sugar refiner in Cincinnati, and it meets with a
ready sale at 60 cents per gallon. The quality
is pronounced excellent—us good or better
than the very best New Orleans. At 60 cents
per gallon, the product of twelve acres of land
for one season will ho 51700.
• DIVISION ot• TEXAS.—A subdivision of Tex
as into two or more States is warmly advoca
ted by some of the leading public journals. No
State in the Union has increased in population
and wealth snore rapidly within the last few
years, than Texas. Her estimated population
at this time amounts to more than half a mil.
lion, and when the next census is taken, it will
be found sufficient to entitle the State to nix or
seven representatives in Congress. Several
reasons ate given for a division,
