and be with limited sales This result has been

competitors in the Of cheapnes have rushed the BUSH

The National Inteligencer of the 7rh
contains list of the acts passed al the late
session of Congress. and, also, a list of the
prominent acts which were before Con.

by one of the Houses, but had not been
taken up, for want of time, in the other

noticed all the prominent acts passed, to en-.
able the general reader to come directly to
an understanding of what prominent bills

"GILESIANA."

We are much indebted to our Glasgow
friends for their kind responses to the re-
quest contained in our last, that they would
report any moving accidents" which
might occur to that adventurous, high
pressure steamer, the "Giles" We have
received considerably more than a great
number of communications on the subject.
The two we give place to contain all the
important intelligence: the others, although
very acceptable, are laid by for want OF
room.

GLASGOW, March Goth, lS43.

NLAstO"S march SUlIl, 1915.
Messrs. Editors:-Beleving it would be
of interest to the numerous subscribers of
your valuable Journal, propose to furnish
you with list Of the arrivals, clearanccs,
and condition Of boats at our flourishing
port.

owners of the Steamer Giles must have
felt from the report having gone abroad
that she had sunk, would inform you that
she arrived here on Tuesday last, in Grip.
pied condition. She did not escape the eff.
fects Of the Hurricane, which has done so
much damage to our boats. She was,
however, but slightly injured, comparatively
speaking, but unfortunately, she run on to
dangerous bar, in place called thinner
mans hole, where she lay several hours, and
but for the assistance of our benevolent
citizens must have gone down. Several of
our spirited townsmen succeeded in getting
her off on Saturday and she Immediately
raised steam and left for the port from
whence she started; it is thought by many
she will have to undergo an examination
by the underwriters, and will probably be
condemned as unseaworthy.
Yours, &c. HOWARD.

VIRGINIA.

The bill dividing this State into Con-
gressional Districts, has at last passed both
Houses of the Legislature. 1t is generally
admitted to be one of the most infamous
Gerrymandering bills that ever received
the appreciation of any legislative assem-.
bly,.
The locos had everything "in a sling
and made the districts to suit their own
selfish purposes Out of the fifteen dis.
tricts, the wings have four, certain, and a
possibility of six.
Mr.. Bolts is thrown into a district
which, according to the vote of 1910, be.
tween Harrison and Van Buren,, gave a
majority for the latter of 1913. Mr. b
may be able to succeed, but we fear 9th.
erwsc.
Mr.. Wise's district, in ls4O, gave ma,
jority far Harrison of one thousand -four
hundred and forty-six. The wings arc
casting about for suitable person TO rur
in opposition to him.
The election takes place the 4th Monday
in in next month.

Extract OF a letter from friend in Glasgow,
dated March 22d, lS43.
"Nothing new in Glasgow. Temperance is
nourishing. We have not been officially in.
formed OF the safe arrival OF the Steamer "Giles'
since her clearance Of this port. Great anxiety
is manifested on her account Her bills have not,
as usual. been circulated at this port and it is
feared on her late homeward trip, she took the
wrong schultz" You would greatly relieve the
public mind by publishing ia your next true
state OF the affair.
Respectfully yours"
Last Saturday evening, about the time
the Swallowed ocean was closing upon the
light" craft was observed breasting the
pillows to the westward. Great anxiety
was manifested by the multitude along
shore; for some time they stood in breath
less anxiety, awaiting with the stiffness OF
death the arrival of the craft; she rolled
from side TO side, appeared to labor very
much, and at one time all hope was given
up; but the wind suddenly ceased,
"She gave heel, and then lurch to port,
"And coming on head foremost, moored at the
Gait"
when, for the first time it was discovered
to be the "Giles" of this port. She wa!
truly in shattered condition, and looked
very much weather beaten. She was i'm
mediately put upon the docks, and is now
refitted, but not substantially enough for q
lengthy voyage.

"TALENTS MISAPPLIED."

On the first page of to-day's paper will
be found an excellent communication from
the ST. Louis Organ on the subject of "tal-
ents misappied." If St. Louis presents
as many subjects for this complaint as the
smaller towns in the western part of the
State do, in proportion to the population,
she is overdone indeed.
In many of the seats Of justice in the
upper counties, il is truly melancholy to
to observe the number of hard-headed and
strengthened young men lounging about
year after year, ostensibly practising one
of the learned professions, but whose actual
professional income would not amount to
the hire of good negro, while great ma
ny of them do not earn so much as would
keep dog
If the individuals composing this class
were independent in their circumstances
or their friends were willing to support
them in ideness, or were they in delicate
health or unable to labor for subsistence
yet with talents to justify their pretensions
to law and medicine, no one could censure
their course: but when we look around us
on the teeming praries and rich woodlands
unenclosed and uncultivated, inviting the
youthful and healthy to noble independ-
ence with wholesome exertion and moder-
ate industry, we are impelled to the con.
cuson that stronger term than mistaken
talents" should be applied to them: that they
continue in their course from disreputa-
BILE and disgraceful aversion to work, and
an overweening disposition to suppose a
half-starved and shabbily clothed hanger.
on, on the outskirts of profession, more
respectable than an industrious, though
hard listed farmer or mechanic.
The professions are ably and quite sufii.
GENTLY represented in the western, and in
fact this whole country, by men whose
practice and experience have proved them
competent to transact all the business, and
it would probably be well for those unhedg-
ed birds whom trial of sufficient time has
proved to be untitled for a successful
flight in the professions, to abandon q
course for which nature never intended
them, and, before it is too late, learn some
useful and laborious occupation by which
they may be enabled to earn an honest H.
wing, and become useful in a community
where they now mistakingly consider
themselves ornamental.

THAT MONEY.

ney that was enclosed in a letter at 81
Louis and sent to our dear friend of the
Senlinell Did it ever come to hand or was
it purloined on the way? 1t certainly can.
not be possible, las some wag nsinuated,)

airs of importance, about some money
when, in reality, he was not expecting to
receive any. 1t cannot be! Did you ever
get it, Colonel.

The National Intelligencer, speaking OF
the phenomenon which has been visible
for some time in the southwestern sky
and which was supposed by many to be
the brush of comet, says:
ZoDIAcAL LIGHr.--Ths interesting phenom.
enon in the Heavens was noticed here on Mon.
day night and also on Tuesday and Wednesday
night,
zodiacal light appears in the morning before
sunrise, and in the evening after twilight. 1t is
a pyramid with the sun for its basis. The sides
are not straight but curved, as those OF lens
when viewed edgwse. 1t is generally seen
about the period OF the equinoxes, when there is
the shortest twilight. This light resembles the
milky way, faint twilight or the tail of comet.
The intensity of the light. its shape and tints,
may be varied according to the condition OF the
atmosphere, which is now remarkable for clear.
ness.
The zodiacal light was first described about
two centuries ago, and the various theories res.
pecting it may be seen by referring to works on
astronomy.

NUTS FOR THE CLIQUE"

VIII only TeldTh thdt INC tIutn VI tne as
sertions in the first paragraph, are too
VIGOROUSLY true to be questioned by any
one who paid the least attention to the
proceedings of the last session: as for the
balance, we leave Mr.. Penn and the
Clique" to make the settlement, not doubt
ing but he is able to sustain every charg
he makes upon the Clique"
HOW 1T WORKS.
1--WE desire no stronger proof than has been
given by majority OF the Legislature Of Mis-.
souri--we should have said large majority OF
the Democratic members-that the views and
sentiments Of the Reporter accord with those
entertained by the mass of the people, than is to
be found in The fact, that our labors have been
effectual in defeating both Huston's and Jack
sons currency bills; in defeating the bills intro.
duced TO destroy the Bank; in defeating those
who wished to place it under the control Of i'm.
ported officers, and convert it into a political
machine; in defeating the same men, in their
attempt TO repudiate an honest debt due to the
Bank, with view to cripple ii; and in trium.
phantIy carrying most Of the prominent measures
which were opposed by the Clique. Even the
resolutions against bankrupt law were defeated,
though the Reporter always opposed the existing
law, whilst maintaining that it was the duty OF
Congress to pass wholesome law on the sub.
ject, embracing banking corporations. And
then the Mandamus resolutions were also per.
mitted to sleep the sleep Of death in the Senate,
because the leaders Of the Clique were boisterous
in denouncing those who dared to differ with
them on incidental points. And, east'and last,
bill to create the office OF State Printer failed,
because its passage might have insured patronage
to mere instrument OF the Clique, which would
have been injurious to the party and demorali.
zng to the State. In short, the Clique were
successfully combatted during the late session
its intrigues, lrickery, charlantIy and vndctve.
ness have been partially exposed-and, we feel
entirely confident OF deprivng it of political ex.
istence. This is to be done by following up the
blows it has already provoked.
We shall, in due season, show that the Clique
politicians are dishonest, intriguing, rabd, in.
competent and corrupt, and the people will apply
the appropriate remedy "Truth is mighty, and
will prevail" Truth is our weapon, and nothing
can be more terrible to the Clique, including the
Governor and his branded organ.
His Excellency stated to several members OF
the Legislature that he would. soon after the
adjournment, convince the public that he had no
connexion with the lnqurer-that he neither
wrote for il nor influenced its course. Will he
dare to undertake the task? II he should, we
advise him to tell bow he felt, when nine tenhs
