"Great Britain has received more ussfn, "a.

The Commissioners appointed for the Dur.
pose, have selected site for the U. s. Military
Asylum, which has been confirmed by the Pre.
sident The place purchased is situated north
of Washington, in the District of Columbis. and

A negro in Boston had severe attack of
rheumatism, which finally settled in his foot.
He bathed 1T, and rubbed it, and swathed il
but all to no purpose. Finally, tearing arsy
the bandages, he stuck it out, and with shake
of his fist over it, he exclaimed cache away,
den, old feller; ache away. 1 shan't do muffin

The man who few years ago carried
sealed note to the telegraph office with re-
quest that it be transmitted to Washington
without opening, seems now to have been only
a little ahead of the times. 1t is stated that
gentleman in Newport Ky is perfecting an
application Of electricity for propelling box
containing letters over wires from place to
place, on the telegraphic principle. The e1-
pertinent over wires of six hundred yards in

The Mississippi Flag of the Union confirms
the report of the resignation by the Hon. Jeffer-
son Davis Of his seat in the Senate ef the Uni
ted States He repeatedly declared in his public
speeches during the canvass his determination
to take this step, if majority of the people Of
the State were opposed 10 the. principles of the
State Rights party. The result of the election
of members of the Convention doubtless actua-

no confirmation of the report that he has declined
the nomination for Governor Of his State.
RUSSIA IN THE CAUCAsUs.-The stupendout

throughout the empire; that all men capable OF
bearing arms are dragged to the ranks; and
that large military stores have been ordered
from Belgium.
Tom MooRE.-By the latest accounts from
England, We regret to lear that the bard of Erie
is fast failing. For some time past he has been
IN state of all but mental darkness, and it is.
painful to state that now hope remains Of
the Light of other days" being restored. Sad
it is to contemplate the wreck of any mind. but
how is the sadness intensified when one so gift
ed with genius as Moore, becomes idiotic. 1t 10
somewhat singular that Southey, Buckland, the
geologist, and Moore, who were early and fas,
friends, should each have become insane.
ALBERT, OR GRINNELL.-The new lands dis
covered on tho arctic zone, 10y the members OF
the American Exploring Expedition, were natu-
rally named after the munificent originator Of
other hand, We note that the same lands ar.
called in the late English cl art after the Prince
Consort of Great Britain, Albert Land Nov
the question arises who shall have the honor.
the Prince who was accidentally in power when
the English expedition sailed, and did no more
