 Want of Employment-T are great many chanics, iaborers, clerks, &c &c. Many of them, confident of doing well next fall and winter, ious to occupy their time and pay expenses during though sometimes alluded to with sneer is in truth often used with great propnety-for we know many worthy young men, of capacity, intelligence and in- dustrious habits, who have so long been doing noth' ing, or filling mere temporary situations that idleness has become to them an intolerable burthen. All they ask is employment, till tue dawnlng of better times
 It those at the North who are always so ready to flock to this place under the belief that it is perfect El Dorado, can profit in any way by these remarks of ours, 1t would be well for them to do We do wish to be misunderstood in making this sugges- ton.

 Intamous.-A few days ago, sum of money was stolen near Kosciusko, Mississippi. A black girl, who professed to know all about the circumstances, charg- ed respectable white person with being the .hlet- Upon her testimony the citizens seized him, tied him to tree and "lynched' him with extreme severity: looking on, m esclaiming-" Give it to him He has the money! He is the thief and will soon confess !t The ynchers found however, after nearly killing their victim that he would confess nothing and he was at length released, torn, bleeding, and unable to stand few hours afterwards suspicion began to rest upon Parker himself who. on being tied to the tree, reared out haue the money!" The whole sum was found in his possession and that of the wench on whose false testimony the innocent man had been so horribly mutilated
 This occurrence should be memorable lesson to all who disposed to take the vengeance of the law into their own hands. The atrocious practice of lynch. ing deserves to be stamped with the indignation of men and the wrath God. Every actor in the bloody tragedy at Koscusko should at once be driven forth an exile from society and all its sympa,hies.-Losis- Uille Jour. ..E

 Good Bargaia.-The IL s. schooner Active, origin ally intended for the Exploring Expedition, on account of an alteration in the plan for economys sake. was sold on Saturday last for 450O. She originally cost the government $e0O0-the amount expended on her in repairs and alterations, was $90Oo-total cost Sl7ooO. Loss on the sale, sl2,5oo! That is the way our economical government makes money. The schooner Pilot and the barque Consort, both built by the Government at great expense. we understand, also to be sold, and will probably bring about the same profit.

 First of fAuguss.-This day was observed, in diff errent parts of the country, in commemoraon of the elevation to liberty of 5ooOOo coored persons in the British West Indies. The experiment going in re- gard to the emancipation of slaves, in the West In. dies is full of interest to the people of the United States ;-though from diversity in circumstances it requires no little judgment decide how far the suits are applicable to this country. One thing, how ever, s certain.-Whether emancipation, immediate or gradual safe and for the interest not only of the whole country, but of the owners is for them to de- termine. Every thing which alenutes their minds, then it would seem evident must go far obstruct the progress of emancipation. To excite prejudices-to arouse prde-to provoke passiOn-is not, in ordinary eases. thought to be the best mode of persuason.- Connecticut O6seruer.
 Melancholy Occurrence.-We learn that a party of sixteen persons while on sailing excursion on Sun dny last July 29th) in small schooner, on Chester river. near Love Point. were capsized by squa of wind, and melancholy to relate, seven of the sixteen were drowned.
