Further Intelligence by the HibCrnia,

EMIGRATION TO AMERlCA.-Emigralion from
Germany TO the British colonies and to Amer-
ca is rapidly increasing. In order to facilitate
the movement, arrangements have been made
by which the persons emigraIing may more
quickly and economically reach the point Of EN-.
burkalion. Bodies of men and families will
now be carried by express trains both TO Havre
aud Antwerp. Those who proceed to Antwerp
will be conveyed at the bcginnning and end of
eOch month, whilst those who make Havre their
port OF embarkaon, are to leave Cologne for
Llle via Mouscron, every Wednesday.-Lon.

down. said the General, but the more he
asked him The more he would not do il, and
began backing the skif under the guards Of
the boat and across her lines, until at last
The General lost all patience, and finally ex-
claimed, g Sit down you drunken rascal, or
rll throw you overbsard," and never did a
fellow come to anchor in quicker time, to
the relief OF US all, particularly when lie was
safely landed. The scene ashore was not a

coming without delay. Among other Gu
riosties produced, was young Arkansas

THE TRUE SPIRIT.

The following extract from the letter Of
the Councils of Baltimore tothe President,
Is concluded in the true spirit, in which such
invitations should be extended to public func-
tionaries. Partisan influences are deleteri-
Gus enough to society, in the struggle pre-
ceding elections, without carrying them into
our acts when we would honor the choice Of
the majority, as the depository Of the peo-
piles power. We are rejoiced to see this
disposition in the public mind, to meet the
President at least hall way in his desirec to
soften, if not entirely extinguish party asper-
tiles and party violence, and we shall do
every thing we can to encourage it.
Your services TO the country have endeared your
name to none more than the patriotic citizens of
Baltimore, and we are sure that we are giving cx-
preston 10 their wishes, as we'll as our own in Of
fering this demonstration Of respect to so distin.
guishcd defender Of our flag, and one so honored
by the people, Near this city repose the remains Of
a Ringgod, Rdgely, Watson and others, our Ia.
mented fellow-citzens, who fought with you upon
some OF the fields Of your glory, and whose memo.
ries arc intimately blended with thar halo which en-
circles your own fame. II Is but naturu therefore,
independent Of the debt Of gratitude VIC owe you in
common with all our connirymen that we should
especially desire TO behold and shake by the hspd
The Commander Of these honored and lamented

Upon the pressure Of small foot-board,

OF which is seen projecting from the case,
passes through the cloth, down the aperture

lowered and raised, and each succeeding stitch
is brought up within the former one, thus for
