A Rnscnl.

A respectable looking man stopped at the
Franklin House, about week since, and regis
tered his name NJ. S. Hammond, from New
York. On Thursday night, he left without pay
ing his tavern bill. THIS was not all, however.
He entered several Of the rooms occupied by
the boarders, and not finding any money, pro-
ceeded TO repleniSh his wardrobe, as he only
brought with him small bundle Of shirts. He
took from Mr.. VIM. Wynn'S room new cloth
coat, and apair Of boots. From Mr.. Selfridges
room, he took carpet bag with some things in
IT. a pair Of shoes, shirts, &c. He appropriated
apair OF new cloth pants belonging to VIM.

outrage on the rights of the press, has seldom
been heard Of, and it is an evidence to us tha

has wrought an entire change on the face Of
society. Another and ever-memorable epoch
was introduced by the reyiyers of printing
and inventors Of type founding; another by
steam as motor; to say nothing Of the rev
olutions brought about more recently by spin
ming jennies, power-looms, ocean steaming
gas-lights, photography, railroads, telegraphs
&C., which SO honorably distinguish oul
times from all that preceded them.
But for the artificer's skill, the sublimes
of the sciences had not been attempted, no.
the sublimest triumphs Of human reason anc

tions, the extremes OF creation are brought
within the range of human observation, ant
the grandest OF conceivable miracles demon
strated. With the microscope, the human
eve discovers animated worlds in drops Of
| liquid and grains of fecula, and may yet de.
tect ultimate atoms in the most attenuant ol
the gases. BY the telescope, the same eye
penetrates and wanders at leisure through d
space far beyond what was once thought the
| limits of an arch spirits fight. Leaving the
satellites of remote planets behind, il re-
solves the infinitely more remote nebul@, and
sweeping round the awful horizon, takes in
what would seem half fhe universe.

The efforts of Southern demagogues

The efforts of Southern demagogues
to establish a "Union party" at the
South, we notice, are mentioned with
warm appreciation oy the abolition pa
pers at the North. 1t seems to us that
any man with a sufficient quantity OF
brains in his head to enable him to keep
out of the fire, might have known that
this, and nothing but this, would and
must have been the result of such a
movement For is it not virtually say
ing to the abolitionists:
':God speed you, brethren! You
have now the controlling power in
your w hands-work out therefore
your great purposes to their perfect
and final consummation-you need
have no further fear Ct Southern resis,
tance-for we have at last organized
a powerful party here, whose object is
to maintain and perpetuate the Unior
at all hazards and under all circum
stances, and our patriotic President
who warmly sympatnlZes win you =.
all your schemes, has already pledged
himself to put down any overt outbreaE
of resistance, by all the strength of thu
combined army and navy"
If the South ever does sink dowr
to an everlasting and ignominious deg
radiation, it will be accomplished
through the fundamentally of jus
such friends as those who are now en-
gagged in organizing a Southern I'm
ion party
The friends of peace and harmony,
and of the Union can have as much
peace and harmony at the South al
their hearts can desire. whenever the

Mr.. RHETT.-This gentleman whose
election to the U. S. Senate as the sue
cessor of the late Mr.. Calhoun, is gen.
orally regarded as the most ultra of the
"uItraists." By many in this quarter
he is considered nothing less than an
out and,out traitor. With this we
have nothing to do just now. II is OF
the mon only we propose to speak.
Mr.. Rhett is a South Carolinlan by
birth, but on the maternal line of purl-
tan descent. There is some consan-
guinity between him and the late John
Quincy Adams. His original name
was B &rnwell, and while bearing 1t he
was Attorney General Of South Caro-
lima, and a leading actor in the null :
Hcation controversy. He took his
present name, to inherit an estate
Mr.. Rhett is a man Of ardent tenn
permanent, and constitutionally very
impetuous. He was elected'to Con
gress in 1887, aud went there with
the reputation of'being a sire eater"
But every boqy was agreeably disap>
pointed. He was a bold, nervous, i'm
~passloned, but courtet us debater, and
~singularly mild in his manners and de.
pertinent. He had recently attached
himself to the Presbyterian church.
of which he is sill an exemplary mem
Der. This is a singular combination to
make a traitor OLA man Of puritan
stock aud a ruling Elder Of the Pres
byterian church!
We will only add that Mr.. Rhett is
endowed with splendid talents, and with
many of the attributes of a finished ora-
tor.
We hope no one will accuse MS Of
treason, for v%enturing to speak thus Of
a pious and distinguished citizen

ATTEMPT TO Escape JAIL.-We omit
ted to mention in our last a serious attempt
at escape on the part Of two prisoners
confined in thAcity jail, on Friday evening
the 9th ult. Charles Williams, a boy
committed on a charge Of larceny, pretend
ed to be dying, and sent for JMr. Philips
the jailor TO feel his pulse, and while that
gentleman was thus engaged, A. D. Varel-
man, who was some time since arrested
tor passing counterfeit bank notes. struck
Mr.. P. a severe blow on the back of the
head with a junk bottle. The two then
attempted 10 escape but before they could
effect their purpose, the jallor recovered
and pursued. He was grappled IN the en-.
try BY Varelman who is a very large and
stout MANI with great violence, and could
only save himself from injury by s%tabbina
him severely. Assistance was then called
and the prisoners r~e-confned. Varelmar
is recovering rapidly from his wounds.
This attempt al escape was not Pariicl
Fated IN by the other prisoners, who, WI
are informed refused to have their cell
opened by Williams, although he Offered
