The TRUE DEErA-This journal has been
considerably enlarged and otherwise improved,
and the propr;etors having now a proper press,
have commenced issueing a weekly and semi
weekly edition for the country. We have hi
therto spoken Of this ably conducted paper,
and have repeatedly made extracts from it,
which have given evidence of its style and abb
lily. We again take pleasure in bringing it to
the notice Of our friends, and requesting for it
a portion of their patronage. When they look
at the True Delta, they will find there no lean.
ing in politics, no subserviency but spirited
sarcastic and eloquent, it deals out truth ane
justice with courage and impartiality.

A FRANK ADm1ss1ok.-The Washington cor
respondent Of the Philadelphia Ledger, says:
aThere is no doubt the Southern States would
be worse Off without slavery-that the greatest
portion Of them would be wastes without ne
proes. There is no doubt, too, that slavery is
the condition under which Philippians parti-
cipate in modern civilization, that negro slave
ny exists socially at leasti in the north as well as
in the south, and that history does not furnish
us with a single instance in which the different
races have co-existed on terms Of equality in
the same state. And it is also true that Ameri-
can negro slavery has, in one century, done
more for the cultivation Of the negroes than all
the liberty they, enjoyed for at least four thou.
ssnd years in Africa. This is all true, and
onghtt to make US pause before we attempt to
disturb that condition pff the society and per.
haps eristevce Of the southern States, either BY
agitation, legislation, Or useless declaration
WHICH only wound On y side while they are
absolutely useless On the other"
These are the words Of truth and sobern,ess
and we hope may produce their deserved ct
feet upon Northern sentiment.

A CLEAN SwMDLE-The st. Louis Re-
publican of 2lst, gives the following account
of a smart trict played by a professor ofleger-
domain in that city.
A man arrived in this city a few days since sty-
ling himself aSignor Don Manuel de Fararo,"
and advertised for certain exhibitions of leger-
demain, ventriloquism, &C., to be given at Con-
cert Hall, and to commence on Tuesday even
ing. On that evening, a company Of about
ninety persons, at fifty cents each admittance,
assembled at the Hall to witness the Signor's
performam es. The hour for commencing the
entertainment arrived and passed. The anx-
ious assemblage applauded and h2oted, but no
Signor appeard. Eight o'clock rolled BY a9d
yet no sorcerer was forthcoming. Some ,21
the audience, curious to know what delayed the
Performance, peeped behind the curtain, when,
to their astonishnent, they found neither the
Signor nor his splendid parapiernalla. By
this time; the ticket-seller and ~door-keePer haI
sloped, and the audience found they had been
sucked in each minus fifty cents. The scoun-
drel, who figured as the Signor, failed to pay
for the Hall, his printing, and every other ex-
pense connected with his exhibition. His
name is, of course, fictitious.

A SMART WoMAN.--The Grove Hill, Alaba-
ma, Recorder, states that, in the county of
Choetwa, a new one, created at the recent ses-
sion of the Alabama legislature, a woman char
ged with numbering her husband, employ
ed a legal gentleman, whose came it is not ne
cessary to mention, to defend her, promising
him two negroes as his fee. He undertook
her defence, and, contrary to the expectation Of
all, she was acquitted, He called upon her for
the two negroes, when she grayely informed
him that the negroes belonged to her daughter.
Not relishing the idea Of being cheated out Of
the negroes, he instituted suit against her fol
perjury, which she defended, and had him mule.

WHAT IS CoM1Ne.-Astoundang disclosures
EVERY now and then the newspaper world is
startled by such paragraphs as the following
in the. New York papers, which we cut from
the Mirror of that city:
The morning papers state that some asteun.
ding disclosures will shortly be made, whlcn
will f~earfully agitate the uptown circles, and
place gentlemen of high responsibility in an I'M
enviable position before the community. 1t
seems that a deep laid scheme to entrap certain
wealthy persons was concocted by two men and
a female, and successfully put in operation; and
having got them in their power, large sums OF
menev we're extorted, thousands Of dollars, 1t is
said, to avoid disclosures which would have laid
themselves and families open to the foulest dis
grace. The subject, however, is now before a
criminal court, and a full exposure cannot be
prevented.
We are in possession of the facts Of the case
but cannot publish them at present; we may state
however, that certain men have c%onnived at the
criminal. intercourse of their wives with rich
merchants, who are husbands and fathers, and
so planning it as to detect the parties in fla
ggalte deIictu, and then extorting hush money
to a very large amount. The demands of the
seoundrels, however, have lately become so I'M
reasonable that the guilty "parties" refuse to
"shell out" and an exposure IS threatened,

uMr. johnson, one of the clerks on the
steamer Eliza, brought to town the other day
from Greene county, the most striking natural
curiosity we have seen for manya day. It is a
pair of birds, evident hybrids-from a wild tur-
key cock and a guinea hen. Mr.. J. is perfect
w satisfied of the fact, as the turkey and gui-
nea fowls had been observed for some time on
the most intimate terms in an adjoining wheat
field. and when the hen Matched her eggs, the
pair of birds in question was brought forth.
They partake essentially Of the characteristics
of Both species. The head, bill AID eyes resem-
BILE those Of the Turkey; so also do the legs
Though not so longD and the feet. The neck is
Short and mostly glossy black, with whitish
feathers on the throat. The body is as large as
that of an ordinary sized turkey, hut Of the
plump rounded form of the guinea fowl and OF
a dark shining color, beautifully marked with
gray and black. The tail is not so long as the
turkeys nor short as the guinea fowls. In a
word, they are handsome and snowy birds
with clean glossy feathers and very docile. They
are now two years old.-Nobi7e Tribune.
