1t is a Misrepresentation to say that we have

be Union victory-that is, victory over the
disunionists and their whole policy. Mr.. Ma
son, in order TO be reelected, Was const aimed
to pat himself, through the most explicit decla-
rations of every one Of his supporters, upon the
ground of acquieseencs in the Compromise
The Southern Press holds that the South must
dissolve the ULion on account Of the Compro-
mise. Mr.. Mason was returned to the Senate
on the express condition that he should oppose
that course. He was pardoned for voting
against the Compromise, simply and only be-
cause he promised, through his friends to make
atoncment by sustaining the Compromise meas

has he not procured his election by abandoning
his disunion position !-Rtchmond Times.

SHELL BANKS IN ALABAMA.-Shell banks
very common in The neighborhood Of Mobile,
are not less singular because common. On
Middle river, just bove the city, says the Reg
stcr, is huge bank Of shells, some twenty five
feet in depth. As far down as eighteen feet
from the surface, remnants Of cooking utensils
evidently Of Indian origin, have been found. In
another place, close by, is Il bank of shells
which runs in the form of ridge, and covers
full two acres. This, by the nearest cut, is over
quarter Of mile from any water course, and
at present the shells have to be hauled at least
half mile before reaching the barges. In
Bonnie Secour Bay is huge hill of oyster-shels
over thirty feet high, and from which vast quan-
titles Of lime have been already made, yet has
the consumption only heretofore seemed to cut
waIl-like face to the mound. But the shells
found near the city are of the clam kind, vary
ing from the largest to the smallest size. The
Southern people make excellent roads with
these shells

Ellwood Fisher, the profound logician Of the
Southern Press, has proved to his own satisfac-
ton that, although the result of the Georgia
elections is depIorabIe' to the secessionists, it
is far worse to the Unionists. Fisher reminds
us of that chap who was, on certain occasion,
kicked by gentleman and kept regularly count
ing the kicks he received declaring that each
one would be five dollars in his own pocket and
five dollars out of the pocket of the man with
the foot-LouSrille Journal
The profound logician of the Journal cannot
see that if the submissionists of the South tri-
umph in their attempt to compromise or sur
render Southern rights they kick aems lres as
much as their opponents in the Southland be-
come responsible for all the consequences. We
envy no such victory.

WHAT ARE BIRDS GOOD FOR ?'-The Ameri.
can Agricu!turist for December, just issued by
Saxon d Blanchard, in answer to this inquiry
relates the following anecdotes:
In connection with this subject, we will give
an anecdote related to us last winter by Governor
Akin, of South Carolina, ofthe rice birds These
little creatures gather around the rice fields at
harvest time in countless myriads, and Of course
consume considerable grain. Some Years ago,
it was determined TO make war upon them, and
drive them out Of the country, and the measure
was in some degree successful, so far as getting
rid of the birds. What are birds good for ?
The rice planter soon found out for with the de-
crease of BIRDS the worms increased so rapidly,
that, instead Of few scattering grains TO feed
the birds, the whole crop was demanded TO ill
the Unsuitable nav of the army that came to
consume every young shoot, as fast as they
sprung from the ground. Most undoubtedly the
birds were invited back again with hearty wei
come. Rice cannot be cultivated without their
assistance.
"A few years ago, the blackbrd> in the north
crn part of Indiana We're cons idered grievon-
nuisance to the farmer. Whole fields Of oats
were sometimes destroyed, and The dcpredations
upon late corn were greater than can be belle
we'd, if told The farmer sowed and the birds
reapcd. He scolded and they twitiered Occ;.-
sionally 4 charge of sho: brought down score
but made no more impression upon the great
sea of birds, than the removal of single bucket
of water from the great salt puddle A few
years later, every green thing on the land
seemed destined to destruction by the army
worm. Man was powerlcss-a worm among
worms. But his best friends, the hated black
birds, came to his relief just in time to save
when all seemed lost. No human aid could
have helped him Low thankful should man
be that God has given him for his compan ons
and fellow laborers in the cultivation of the
earth, these lovely birds. The laborer is wor-
thy of his hire Why should we 'begrudge the
little moiety claimed by these busy little fellows
which followed the plow, and snatched the worm
away from the seed, that it might produce grain
for his and our sustenance? No honest man
would cheat a bird of his spring and summer rs

The message treats the recent measures as &
compromise, and regards hostility to il as exist

Such things as honor, equality, and right can

Southern Press
The editor of the Press contends that the
people of the South have right TO 90 with
their slaves to any Territory and to hold their
slaves in any Territory acquired by the United
States. The same editor contends that Con
gress, for the sake of compromise should pass
law that slavery shall exist south Of the Mis-
souri, compromise line, and that it shall not exist
north Of that line. And yet the scli-same editor
protests that there are some things that cannot
be compromised-that such things as honor
equality, and righ can neither be divided nor
abated. '-LoutsriHe Journal.
