counted Oy a man appointed for the purpose.
After passing Grand Island they met e6OO
wagons more and for three successive davs

Nj. Benton, the great LocOfoco leader OF the
country, is, althoughli living in the slave State Of
Missouri, a wilmOt proviso man the ST. Lou
is Union, the chief organ Of Missouri Locoio-
ism, and several if not most Of the other pa
perg in that State, are for the WilmOt %ProvisO;
the Governor of Missouri and all the members
Of his cabinet, are stated by the UaiOn to be for
the Wilmot provisoi and it iswell known that
a very large part and probably the greater part
of the Locoloco masses Of the State, follow
the lead of their Senator, their Governor, their
St Louis orgun, and the rest of their organs
are up in arms for the p%roviso.
Hitherto the LOcotOcos Of the slave-hOlding
State have boosted of " the SOuth's natural
a~llies,' the Locofocos Of the North, in regard
to slavery. The %"natural allies" however, are
now resolving themselves into an abolition
party, and the LocoiOcos Of the slaveholding
States, at least of Missouri, peem in hot haste
to follow the example of the " natural a~llieS.'

Fourth Of InIu.


The Anniversary Of our Independence was
duly celebrated In various partsO Of our county.
in the usual manner: thai. is, BY speaking, eat.
ing. drinking, and the burning Of gun-powder.
The Sabbath School procession in our
town, showed that a large increase Of popuIa.
ton had been gong silently on for some years,
as was evidenced by the display of q most Of
beautiful little ladies, to say nothing Of the
crowd Of boys. II has always been a wonder
70 US what boys were made for-we mean in
the way Of being publicly exhibited. Certainly
they add nothing to the beauty or grace Of a
public procession; while the little ladies', no
matter what their age or condition, always re-
mind of those beings that are represented
in pictures, adorned with beautiful wings, and
who seem just ready to soar to those regions
above, whence no doubt they came, and to
which, there il % dOub. whatever, they must
return.

SOME THINGS THAT WON'T DO.

II won't do for a man to bump his head a
gainst a stone post, unless he ConscientiouslJ
believes that his head is hardest.
Itwon't do for a chap to imagine that a girl
is Indifferent to him because she studiOusly a.
avoids him in company.
1t won't do to be desperately snamored Of
a pretty face until you have seen it at the
breakfast table.
1t won't do to extol the beauty Of a lady's
hair before you know that it did not once b.
long to another lady.
1t won't do when in a hurry to eat soup with
a two pronged fork, or to catch flies with a fish
net.
1t won't do to take hold of a hair trigger
pistol in a fit Of the blues.
1t won't do to tell a " confidential friend,'
that lyou addressed a young lady and that she
was "Otherwise engaged"
1t won't do to suppose that you are not un-
der " many obligations" to the Devil for the
latest news.
And it won't do to subscribe for a newspa-
per and never pay for it.

cRoPs-The news which we receive from
every part ofour County in regard to the Cot
ton lie most discOuraging. From the continu-
al rains, the planters have been unable TO keep
the Weeds in due subsection, and the yellow
hue Of the cotton plant contrasts disagreea-
bly, with the lively green Ofsne intrusive weeds.
The Corn crop is very promising at present.
The oas crop hardly middlIng, and very much
injured, since cutting, by rains.

MELANCHOLY DISASTER ON THE NIAGARA FALLS.
The Telegraph announces that Miss De For
rest, daughter Of one Of the most respectable
citizens Of Buffalo, fell into the stream at the
"Hog's Back" on Thursday evening. Mr..
Charles c. A%ddington, a young merchant Of
Buffalo, plunged in to save her, but both were
carried over the Falls. If our memory is cor
rect, there is generally a plank thrown across
the stream, to enable %visiters to take a view OF
the Falls. 1t is probable that Miss De Forrest
fell, in the attempt to cross. Mr.. Addlngton
must have plunged in in a moment of almost
phreDzied excitement, as there could be no pos
Sible chance of escape from death.

The news from Germany this week, is Of
thrilling importance. The National Assembly
has removed to Stuttgart, being a coup de ma
IN on the part of the King Of Prussia. It IS
not much safer where it now ls,for the King OF
Worlembsrg is the avowed enemy Of the pop
ular Constitution, and although he is kept I'M
der control by his Ministers, he will throw them
off the first opportunity. The city Of Worms
has been captured by the Hessian troops The
Dukes of Baden and Hesse Darmstadt and the
King of Bavaria have applied to Prussia tor
troops to reduce their subjects to submission;
and it is expected that the Democratic move
menlin Baden, The Palatinate will be exiting
uished by an overwhelming Prussian army,now
being concentrated for the purpose. In that
event the National Assemblywill be dispersed.
The Emperor Of Russia has undertaken to
interfere in the quarrel between Denmark and
Germany, and has demanded the evacuation Of
JutIand by the German troops.
The Kings Of Hanover, Saxony and Prussia,
have published. project Of a Constitution for
Germany which is to supercede the popular
constitution voted by the Representatives OF
the whole of che German people at Frankfort.
The Princes Of Germany are to elect coun :
Gil TO form the Executive Government. The
King Of Prussia is TO preside over the Council,
which is also to exercise Legislative power in
conjunction with two representative bodies, a
Senate and House Of Representatives. 1t is
quite likely that the various State Governments
will submit to this proposition, but it is certain
that the people will possess scarcely any pow
err if the scheme is carried into effect. The
hopes Of the friends of Liberty rest upon the
National Assembly-the Revolutionary Gov
eminent Of Baden and the assistance Of
France. But the prospect is gloomy enough.
The King of Prussia has by his own mere
decree abolished Universal Suffrage and the
ballot in Prussia, and established an electoral
law designed to cheat the people with the ap-
pearance of freedom without its substance.
There is no intermediate course for Germany;
it must be either Democratic Republican or
Despotism.
The Russians have sent a force Of upward of
100000 men into Hungary, with 900 pieces of
artillery. Buda was carried by assault by the
Hungarians on the 9th uIt. They have pos.
sessed themselves of Agram. the capital of
Croatia, and have driven Gen. Pachner's corps
into Wallacchia. With the aid Of France, the
Russians will be defeated, and Poland liberia

Assembly.

ry upon the affairs of a Roman Republic. 1t
speaks ofthe Roman Government as being sup
ported by a mere fraction Of the people, or rath.
er that such had been the belief of the French
Government. By the last accounts the French
were encamped upon the high ground near
Rome, and il is said that the general has been
ordered to make a second attack. M. Lesseps
