FRAUD ON THE CusToMs.-Tho New York cor
respondent of the Baltimore Patriot says;
"mr. j. X. Herrick, a well known importer of
books and stationery, has been discovered in pass
ing fraudulent invoices through the custom house
He has been arrested and made full confession
About $5O,0OO worth Of goods in his store has been
seized by the Federal officers. The discovery was
made by some parties in the bookt trade who have
been undersold by Mr.. Herrick. His practice was
to copy invoices reducing the quantity; and in ont
instance he passed eight hundred and sixty Bibles

MAGNETISM AND THE AURORA BoEEALIs.--Dur-
ing the splendid aurora borcalis OF Monday evening
very singular phenomena were noticed on the tele-
graph wires. Atmospheric electricity often ira.
verses the wires, causing brief interruptions; bot
on Monday evening there was evidently another
element at work. Strong magnetic currents
seemed to pass from the ground into the wires al
times SO powerful as to overcome the batteries on
the line, and reverse the magnetic poles, making
queer work. and causing some perplexity among
the operators. The magnetic currents Of The earth
were evidently joining in the merry dance of their
brilliant partners in the sky So powerful was this
disturbing influence upon the wires that neither of
the three Geographic lines between Boston and
New York were able to operate through during
that evening. Springfield Mass Republican.

TparsIDENr FlLLMoRE's MESSAGE.

..The Presidents message, at the opening of the
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures Of last session. That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
a final settlement Of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interests and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad
hcred to, until time ard experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard gainst evasion abuse. That opinion,
30 far as | know, remains entirely unchanged,
aud will be acted upon steadily and decisively.
The peace Of the country requires this; the Sc
curity of the Constitution requires this; and every
consideration of the public good demands this.
sIf the Administration cannot stand upon the
principles of the message, il does not expect to
stand at all."-DAsIEL WEBsTER's Letter 10 the
Union Meeting at Wsstehssier.

light literature and poetry.
HuaH X. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
1t is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow city ems
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defepce OF Southern rights is defence of them
selves and all they hold r;-that it has been
warm unremitting, and far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period Of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
