THOSE WE READ oP.--A gentleman sollc-
iting donations for one of the thousand "be-
neyolent objects" which every day force
their claims upon the public, called upon
lady who declined making permanent in
vestment, on the ground that home chari-
ties made large draughts on her purse. The
solicitor, as last resort, spoke Of "the Wild.
ow we read Of, who gave all she had" The
lady informed him that she wasn't one OF
the widows we read Of" and the applicant
for aid bowed himself out.

The basest kind Of swindling, yet prac.
tised, isnoticed in the New York Courier.
Some mean-souled scumps advertise $500
girls wanted 10 work on shirts and when
application is made, the girls are told that
= deposit Of one dollar is required as q
guarantee for the safe return of.the gar
nent. This deposit is mude. and The cloth
is takcn, to be made into shirts a. sir-
pence each,, In due time they arc return.
ed, and The girls are told to return mex.
day, after their work has been examined.
They go next day for their pay, and are
told that their work was not well done
that the cloth @as spoiled--that they can.
not have theirpay, and that the dollar that
they deposited will be kept TO pay for The
cloth they have spoiled. Thus these men
get the work for nothing, and make dol
lar besides; and next day they advertise
as before 800 girls wanted"-and %
through the same operation. And this
swinding is systematically pursued the
Courier says, from week to week through
out the year, by many establishments
which transact an immense amount Of bu.
siness with.the trading public, and what is
stlll worse, these villainous frauds are not
dealt with legally, because magistrates are
unwilling to offend the wealthy and lnhu-
ential parties against whom the complaints
are made, at the instance Of the frieDdless
and moneyless females from whom they
come. A fine set tof magistrates, and a
nice sense Of justice g5y
Two young women prosecuted one Of
these swindlers, named John Davis, on
Wednesday, who quickly refunded the mo.
ney and nni11 expenses, but the magistrate
still held the Case under adyisemont.

THE UNIoN.-Who will entertain apprehensons Of
the dissolution OF the Union, when the honorable and

and therefore seems TO require nc aeon. it is equally
clear that no case Is presented justiyng call upon

the President has so much confidence in the patriotism
and devotion to the laws which have always character
Ded large majority OF the people of Boston, that nc
cannot Tor moment believe that it will ever be neces-
sary to call in any extraordinary aid TO execute the
laws, IN that country.
Individuals may become excited and may in the heat
OF the moment offer resistance the laws but he has
no doubt that such event. SO much to be regretted
that the good sense OF the community would rally
to the support OF the civil authorities and that those who
sustain the law, would triumph but he directs me to as
sure you, that if unfortunately, he shall find himself
mistaken in this, and the painful necessity should arise
he is resolved perform his duty by EMPLOYING all the
means which the Constitution and Congress have placed
at his disposal, to enforce the law
As TO the complaint that your agents were unjustly
prosecuted and held to bail in unreasonable amounts
for pretended offences, the President directs say,
that however he may regret any such injustice and in
cvity, he is not aware that he has the power
dy the evil. Ii the complaints against your Agent,
be unounded, the defendants will doubtless be acquit-
ted and mdtciouS they have their remedy action
Tor malicious prosecution. But all these are judicial
questions which the Executive can exercise no con-
troll, and the evil complained of results from the ac-
knowledged right OF every individual prosecute any
one tor an alleged offence or violation of right
| The President feels the importance OF avoiding,
as Tar as practicable, all causes OF irritation between the
North and the South and especially The exciting SUBJ
Jeot OF Slavery. Were he permitted to advise he would
suggest TO ALL the Importance OF permitting the laws
take their usual course; aud that every thing like init
mldation and Illegal or unjust annoyance should be
scrupulousy avoided. Every et1ortshoud be made to
cultivate iraternal feeling. We should be a people

THE MEETING In PRINCE GEORGE.


=, We were not in attendance Prince George Court
House on Thursday, but learn from gentleman who
was present, that highly respectable mon intercourse
meeting" was held, which adopted resolutions to be
binding as soon they shall receive the signature
certain number OF citizens. As it is utterly mpossi
pie at once to break up business intercourse with the
Nortl--there being many indispensable articles which
are now not furnished at the South-these resolutions
very properly enumerated certain articles which we car
make here and which they pledge the sgners not tc
buy 1t imported from the North Such, for example
as agricultural implements, axes &c, boots shoes
carriages, harness, &c. &c.-Petersburg Intelligence,
Of Saturday.
Wehave not yet seen the official report of the
proceedings in Prince George. The resolution
pedging the signers not to use certain articles OF
Northern manufacture, is step precisely such
as was adopted in the Colony Of Virginia before
the war of Independence. This circumstance
may we'll induce those Northern fanatics, who
expect to maintain the Unian as the engine oil
aggression, to consider what they are doing. For
the present, we forbear comment on the Prince
George meeting until we are more fully informed
as to its transactions

SURVEY OF THE DELTA OF THE MJSSIs.

An appropriation OF $4,000 was made bv the act

June 1881 and for other purposes for the Topographic
cal and photographed survey OF the delta the hIsss-
sipp with such Investigations as NAV lead 10 the oet
practicable plan for securing it from humiliation and the
best mode OF deepening the passes the mouth of said
river as to allow ships of twenty draught to enter
the same.
To conduct this survey, and these investigations the
War Department have despatched Major LONG and
Captain HUMPHREYS, of the corps of Typographical
Engineers. Both OF these officers enjoy high reputa.
ton in the service, both for their scientific attapmens
and their practical skill aud judgment. Major Lone is
now at Louisville, and Captain HUMPHREYS has set ont
TO join him there and they will together descend the
river to New Orleans
But in order to omit no precaution to obtain all nos-
sble information on subject of such immense import
ance to the whole valley of the Mississippi but more
especially to all who dwell the banks of that river
from the mouth ofthe Ohio to the Gulf the Department
have called in the aid OF a civil engineer who in bold
ness and originality misconceptions and accuracy of de-
tail enjoys reputation perhaps unsurpassed by that of
any other OF his profession in this country-Mr
CHARLES EILET, jr.
These two parties to act separately but are at the
same time directed to assist each other where it is re-
qured to mpart mutual inormation and to prevent the
duplication OF labor.
1t is considered that by bringing to the performance
this important work, men who, although belonging in
one sense to the same profession yet trained in dill
ierent schools, and are not each uninuenced by the
opinions OF the Other there will be better chance OF
obtaining correct result and solution of what is lust
y considered one OF the greatest problems ever submit
ted to the science of the engineer
These two parties go provided with ample means and
appliances to execute their work with the utmost ac-
curacy, and with instructions to accomplish as speed
lily as it can be correctly performed.
As the gentlemen engaged in this survey naturally
feel desire to associate their names honorably with
work OF such vast importance and utility, have nc
doubt that they will report plan that will commend
tsefto the favorable consideration of Congress- and ca
pabe OF accomplishing the great object they have in
view. -RepubHc.

VEGETABLE u UNIVERSAL PILLS. He lett them
to stand or fall by their own merits He made no al
fusion to any other medicine; simple facts were stated
and the following principle laid down as the Bran
drethian Theory, viz that all diseases, whether of the
stomach or bowels enlargement OF the joints rheumatic
affections, cotaneous eruptions dyspeptc complaints,
or whatever other forms such local disease puts on
were nothing more titan so many symptoms OF disor-
dered state OIL the constitution, and that his pills which
were discovered in England in ISL were medicine
that had the effect OF restoring the constitution to health
and vigor, simply by removing all bad and acrimonious
humors from the blood by the stomach and bowels
The American public have made tial of this medi-
cine for nearly ten years. and have found that the med
cine is not all umbug The patronage Dr. Brandreth
