come up in a Seperate bill. or whether.
as a kindred subject, it will be included

SINGULAR ENAcTING OF THE CRUCIFIx.
IONA Berlin paper states, that there
| is in Russia place called Annerdale,
where most singular custom exists.
Every ten years the awful scenes of the
crucifixion are enacted by the villagers,
Some are dressed to represent soldiers
and Jews, some as Pharisees, and many
men, women and children stand around
as the crowd of spectators while on the
three crosses are nailed figures in wax
and at the feet are women who repre-
sent the Marys. The whole scene is
gone through with in all its details, and
lasts all day. This very singular per.
formance, which has been kept up since
the middle ages, is announced to take
place again the month of June of this
year, and strangers are ineitedtd witness
it.
They hardly, we imagine, have the
darkness and the earthquake.

A SYREN SONG. The Lancaster Iele-
graph opens with a glorious apostrophe
to the Locofoco party and sings it q
charming lullaby. 1t says:
There probably never was a time
since the organization ofour government,
when the Democratic party occupied SO
exalted. so triumphant position as at
the present crisis. There never was a
time when any member ofour party could
exclain1. with more of honest pride and
devotion to principle, "it is good to be a
Democrat"
From this we are led to infer that it is
matter Of triumph" to them to have a
Wing President. and matter of "exalt
alton" to carry dti "bitter end" opposi'
ton to the Administration Of the country
Well, we'll, every man to his taste.
At the same time, the Telegraph calls
Gen. Taylor an 'imbeclle' and thinks the
Cabinet very "weak" one. That will dc
for commencement; but words mean
nothing when actions speak louder.

CoTToN.- The Southern States now
furnish to the world the largest portion
of cotton for manufacture. In other words
the rest of the world is dependent upon
them for cotton. This dependence is
seen most clearly, and with the greatest
uneasiness, by Great Britain. She sees
that this dependence need not necessa-
rialy continue. Hel Asiatic, African, and
West India possessions are the native
seats of the cotton plant. aud misgovern-
ment alone has hitherto prevented its pro-
duction in sufficient quantities to supply
the mother country. This cause she is
now determined to remove The bid for
cotton gin, adapted to the stable of East
India cotton. is one step towards this
commotion "a move that may effect as
much for India as Whitney's gin for the
Southern states. This would render
Britain independent.-.no more Southern
cotton would be exported, and Southern
brags and Southern insolence would
cease; and Southern slavery would fol-
low suit. In national, as in individual
maladies, nature often works her own
cure..-- %. S. Journal. ..

"Various interests in both Houses are con-
Isulting together, with il view to bring about an

gust to the lst of October, after passing the
bills. The Southern gentlemen,
|who are regarded as most extreme, are willing
Ito concur in this arrangement, and the question
(which now presents itself is, would it BIZ wise
Tor Just policy, considering the position which
california occupies"
We trust the Southern members will consent to
no such arrangement. Congress should not ad'
journ, and not dollar be appropriated until the
the slavery question is settled
The Nashaua On. H.) Gazette, speaking of the
Address OF the Nashville Convention, says, among
Iother things, that " it is document that will DC
precious little good and still less injury"-that il
i"denounces the compromise bill now before tile
Senate in good set terms. 1t opposes it with as
smuch virulence as the free-soil faction-that tha
two factions are "cheek by jowl together" And
suggests that as the Senate has refused 10 adopt
IMr. Soulc's amendment all that the 'Souther
lIIotspurs" have to do is to "join the GarrsonIaI
and other extreme Northern Hotspurs, and dis
solve the Union, as they have both repeatedly
Threatened to do" "Let them," continues the
