MYSTERIOUS.

The following is taken from the St.
Louis Union
For the last seven weeks Lieut.. Mi
cheau has had had his attention drawn to
n two story frame house, on Mill Creek,
between Sixth ard Seventh, Cerre and
Gratriot streets. He noticed that about
twelve or one o'clock every night man
would strike light in one of the upper
rooms, and engage in some kind of work,
which he would continue during the re-
mainder of the night This naturally. ex-
cited the officers curiosity, and he at last
concluded that the man must be engaged
in some improper business, perhaps coun.
terfeiting. On making enquiries of some
Of the neighbors, he learned that there
were two men connected with the estab-
lishment. and one of them was seen to
lenve the '.ouse two or three times every
week in the evening, carrying under bis
arm small. very neat box. The other
was never seen to leave the house, and
would never allow any person to enter 1t.
This confirmed the Lieutenant's opin-
ion, and he determined at a suitable time
to search the premises; so yesterday he
took with him several officers and went
TO the house. After forcing his way in
he assembled TO the upper room, and there
a scene. such as he had no conception of,
met his eye. He saw several very strong
" made new boxes, about three and
half or four feet long, one foot broad at
the bottom by two feet at the top. In
one Of these there was the body of
large dog, very much swoolen and quite
putrid. The body was partially i'm.
nersed in liquid, and was quite destitute
Of hair. In the other boxes were the
bones and putrid remains of other dogs.
also immersed in liquid. The stencil
arising from these was SO excessively Of
ensiye that neither the officers, nor
nan who Ind accompanied them, soap

Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IL.


A few Diplomatic appointments were
made during the last week, and more are
soon to be announced. 1t is rumorcd,
and very plausible, that Mr.. Bullitt, of
the "Rcpubl;c," is to have mission, and
that the "Ndtionot Infeliigencer" is to be
the sole organ of the administration
Mr.. Bullitt bore conspicuous, if not an
essential part in the campaign that tcrmi-
mated in Gen. Taylor's election; and, in
fact, the authorship of the second Ali
son letter is imputed to him.
Mr.. Walter Forwards acceptance Of
the place of Charge to Denmark, is look
ed upon with some surprise.
1t is not true, as rumorcd, that Gen.
Campbell is TO be recalled from Havana.
Ministers to Prussia, Austria, and Rio,
are soon to be appointed
The rumor that Mr.. Meredith will
accept the Russian mission is probably
untrue.
The Wings have little to boast Of in
regard to the late New York election, but
still they did better than was expected.
AN entire and cordial union of the hunk
erS and barnburners cannot soon be form
ed. Free-soilism, as a political party, is
not dead, rs we shall see at the coming
session Of Congress. The New York
barnburers and abolitionists are very de-
sirous Of getting Mr.. Dickinson out Of the
U. s Senate.
The Northern press continues to spec.
ulate upon the Speakership of the House
and the general opinion seems to be that
neither Mr.. Winthrop, nor Mr.. Cobb
who will be the caucus candidates, car
be elected The idea thrown out in one
of the papers that the Southern Demo.
Gratis may vote for Mr.. Wilmot, because
he is an advocate of free trade, is very alb.
surd.
The improvements lately made in the
manufacture of sugar will vastly increase
that product in the United States, and
lessen its price to consumers. The en-
terprse of our planters will lead them tt
the speedy and successful adoption of tn,
new process.
The improvements made in iron manu-
facture, and the access about to be givcr
to the "ron making GOALS" by rail road.
and canals. will revolutionize the iron bus
mess.
Iron will, in the course of another
year. be made cheaper in this country
than it can be in England. The idea that
iron and sugar makers, in this country
need protection, will become obsolete.
AS to the cotton manufacture, it is des
: tined to oincrease and flourish without pro
lection. The home consumption OF cot
ton fabrics must, as has been lately
shown, rapidly increase in amount, and
sti ulate the establishment of cotton
manufactures in the Southern and West.

our attentive correspondent in Charles

which announces the arrival of the steam

She brings one weeks later intelligence
from Europe, and an outline of her advi-

The French Ministry has resigned. 1t

address from Kldpda to his 1rmy.---
The German papers publish the following
proclamation, which General Klapka, the
late commander of the fortress of Co
morn, addressed to the garrison that
place, on the occasion of the capitula-
ton.
This brief but patriotic exhortation is
worthy Of the frien and fellow laborer
with Kossuth. 1t brcathes the spirit of
the true patriot, who never loses hope
while life is left, and honor
Comrades! | am sad of heart in ad-
dressing you for the last time. You, who
are bound to me by so many ties of grief
and Joy; sharers in glory, though emana
ting from the blood of our brethren. It's
but short time since we entered. upon
our glorious and contentious cnr9ar.V We
have striven to reach the gaol, and we
have striyen too with the most generous
devotion. We did all that mortal men
could dc, and we can calmly face Gods
judgement seat and that of the world.
But our efforts availed not, and we quit
the fcene of our combats, the grave of so
many patriotic hopes; for though VIC
might still have shed our blood on it, it
was decreed that our death could not be
OF service to our poor country. That
country demands this last sacrifice; it
wants our lives for future day. We
quit the field of battle because wa owe
sacred duty to Hungary, for in the stanch
ness of our devotion lies all its hopes Of
future salvation.
Comrades! continue to be what YOU
are-the pillars and the hope of Hungary.
Your late task has been executed with
manly and intrepid spirit. You yielded.
but II was to fate. you bent before the
irresistible impetus of the late events.
This consciousness ought to be your COM
fort. You saved your honor. COM
rades! receive the warmcst thanks of the
country for your bravery and devotion
and with it my sincere and heartfelt
adieus. God bless you ALL

SONS OF TEMPERANCE.

This is the age Of a5aociation. in which men
seem fully to understand how great an increase
of power results from the combination of num-
bers. There is scarcely fact in morals pol
tics or religion which has not, in this age, form
ed the subject of an association. While men
form associations for the reformation of the
laws, they organize societies for the publication
ofmorals; and thus, moral and political ameo
ration walk, hand in hand, in the great move
mcnt of our race towards the perfection of civ
ilization. Day after day men are binding them
selves together by stronger and more indissolu-
bic ties;-benetcial societies are springing up,
all over the land-unititng all classes in the
community, turning wealth and youth-age
and poverty-the strength of manhood and the
loveliness Of woman to one great object-the
eleration ofmsn.
From the beginning of the present century
the Masons and Odd Fellows have increased in
numbers, with rapidity unprecedented in the
history Of those ORDERS and now, within the
last few years, a new Order, which from it's al.
most miraculous growth, seems destined to
spread from the shores of the Atlantic to the
coast of the Pacific ocean, and from the polar
seas to the tropics, having for its avowed OBJ
ject the good of all men, has sprung up among
us The great popularity of these orders in
the country, shows disposition in all ranks os
society to fraternize with each other which i,
highly honorable to the brotherhood of man, and
Indicative of the great prosperity and happi-
ness of the people in this western world
Led away by these, to us, pleasing rehec
tions, we had almost forgotten the object for
which we set down to write, which was, we be.
licve, to inform our readers that ON Monday, the
10th inst, Division of the Sons of Temperance
was organized at Pickensville by the Rev. JOS
Grisham, ID. g. w. p, where some ten or twelve
gentlemen were initiated into the mysteries of
the Order, and Dr. A. NJ. Folger elected w. r
Pickensville is a pleasant little village-.-de-
ightfully situated and contains one Dry-goods
store, one Grocery, one Public ouse, kept by
an agreeable and accommodating host, but
above every thing else it boasts of a aourishine
school, over which that accomplished gentle
man and scholar, E. Kcese, presides.

"Feeding tie 1Tger."- London
Punch-whose merriment proceeds ev-
er from full heart and not an empty
head-gives the above caption to the
following bitter comments on the honors
paid to Haynau at Vienna:
A magnificent dinner has been given
to Haynau, the woman-whipper at Vien-

speaks of that man of Iron,. as being
seated next to the Servian patriarch, n
man of silver-'silvery beard and hair
In such case most unseemly iuxtapo-
position of the metals. This Iiaynau. we
read, was vehemently applauded by the
small white hands of the ladies of Wen

upon their sister woman, scourged by the
orders Of the barbarian who, it is to be
feared, was really born of woman-and
fed at woman's breast? At Kusebur.y,
according to letter from an Enclisman.
dated Widden, Sept ll-this much ap

the escape of BEN and others, ordered
the lady ofthe house, who had treated
them with courtesy to be logged. And
he was afterwards dragged barefoot bv

atiocity was not at its full. Her hus.
