The old lady seemed thoughtful. :for a mosnent.

A GLEAM OF GOOD SENSE FROM THE SOUTH.- We take the following from the Charlestown Mercury, of November 28th : "We aro satisfied that every intelligent man in the Scuth has been completely disgusted at the broad and pathetic farce that has been played off before the public, about the hanging of that hoary villian, "Old Brown." From the 500 invaders in possession of Harper's Ferry, and the 1,000 ncgroes carried off to the moun tains of Pennsylvania—from the fiirther invasions and, the threats of invasion— the arsons and fears of arson—the march es and countermarches of the ponies and cessations of ponies—GoVernor Wise, the energetic, and his troops—down to the final "climax of military aid offered by Gov. Gist of South Carolina to the Gov ernor of Virginia, for the purpose of mak- ing certain the aforesaid hanging of Old Brown & Co.—it is a tissue of divrace, exaggeration and invention sufficient to stir the gall of the Southernor, who has regard for the dignity and responsibility of the - Southern . people. To us it really looks as if. those in possession of the tele graph were in league to ridicule the South and make -us sloughing stook to ourselves and before the world.. We sincerely trust that our Legislature, which meets to-day, will,bcor Las in mind, and take noaotion r i whateven regard to ourselves or our in stitution, that may even have the appear ance of being prompted by the Virginia farce and its. terrorism..

Their credit is now °attended. Should they surrender their contracts, the extra ordinary expenses of restoring the service will amount to not less than a million dol-, Lars; probably more. Their expectations that Congress would promptly pass a bill for their relief have been disastrously dis. oppointed. The department has 'the money to pay all the sums now due for the quarter end ing with September, but not the legal au thority for that purpose.
