BELL RINGING EXTRA.

A correspondent Of the Picayunc tells
the following story. 1t is not very
bad one.
a tall, awkward looking chap, Just
from the Green Mountains of Vermont
came on board one Of the splendid North
River Boats at Albany. His curiosity
was amazingly excited at once, and he
commenced 'pecping' as he called it,
into every nook and corner of the boat.
The captains Office, the engine room.
the water closets, the BARRIERS shop, all
underwent his inspection, and then he
went OH deck and stood in amazcmcnt
at the lever beam, the chimncys and
the various !ixings, till at last he caught
; light Of the bell. This was the crown.
ing wonder, and he viewed it from eve
ry position, walked around il, got down
upon his knees, and looked up into il
and exclaimed -" Well, raaly ihi.

passengers were attracted to this genius.
How much would you ask to let frl.

no backing enut.' Its bargain sir,
said the captain. Our hero went de-
/ libcra.rly aud brought n scat and took
hold Of the bell rope, and having ar
ranged everything TO his satisfaction,
commenced ringing slowly Il, first, and
gradually faster and faster, ill every
body on board thought the boat wa, oi,
fire, and rushed on deck screaming with
alarm. There stood the captain and
there sat The EermoIIter, ringing away
first slow and then fast. and then two
or three taps at a time. The passcn.
gers began to cxpo'tulaie, the captain
said it was a bargain.
But the passengers became urgent
that The eteiugl cIangor should be stop.

TIL UNITED sTATES-A GLANCE Al
OUR PROGRESS.

The New York Courier, in the course
Of an elaborate article ON the progress Of
the nations, says that in no country has
the advance been so great as in our own.
In the year 1900. the population OF The
United States was $500. 900; il is now
23.500,O00. The number Of States then
composing the Union was l6; il is now
81. Our territory then was l.000,000.
square miles /; il is now 100000. All
Of our pIesen, domain ives, Of the Mis-.
sissippi then belonged to France and
Spain. and was an unhroken wilderness.
Florida was owned by Spain. and Geor-
gin was the only State on the Gulf Of
Mexico. West Of New York. there were
no States but Keniuckv and Tennessee,
and these had sprn, most nflhcir feeble en-.
ergics in bnniy strife with savage foe.
Illinois. Indiana. Ohio. Michigan. and the
western half nf our own State. were vel
but hunting grounds, where Indians roam
ed unmoleslpd.
In every branch Of industry our conn
iry has made an advance corresponding
to iha, in lis population. Agriculture has
more than kept pace with The increased
enlargement, Of our hounds of rivIllzaiion
and We now no, only supply the wants o
our own ireming millions. but have an i'm
mense surplus to ship to fnreign lands
In 1850 the total value of all kinds Of man

From q The Republic" Saturday Ii,h Jan.


Our attention has been called to
letter published in the North Carolina
Standard, addressed by the Hon. A.
Rencher. late Charge to Portugal under
Mr.. Tyler, to the Hon. r. NJ. Saunders,
and said to have been read by the lat
ter gentleman in the course Of speech
ON The subject Of slavery in the Legis-
lature of that State. 1t purports to give
an account Of a journey made by Mr..
Rencher to Boston to recapture fugi-
tive slave, who, it seems. had left the
city before his arrival, and the result
Of his observations on the probable ex-
ecution Of the fugitive slave law at the
North. The letter strikes us being
designed for mere party ends, as is
manifest from its wanton and scanda-
lous charge against the President of the
United States, Of indisposition to exc
cute the fugitive slave law. 1t asserts,
among many other false imputations and
insinuations, that the Marshal Of Mas
sachusetts called on the Executive Gov.
eminent for authority-lst, to nse the
ships in the harbor of Boston for the
confinement of fugitive slaves; Cd, to
call ON the United States troops at Bos.
ton to overcome combinations that might
be formed to resist the execution OF this
law; and that the President, in violation
of his duty, refused both.
We have inquired into the facts per-
tanning to these occurrences, and are
authorized to say that the latter state
ment is utterly false. The Marshal OF
Massachusetts never asked the aid OF
troops of the United States in the pre-
misses, and of course they we're never
refused to him. Mr.. Rencher, there
fore, is bound to retract or prove his al
legation.
The Marshal did ask for an order to
allow the navy yard, receiving ship, OF
revenue cutter, to be used by him as a
place of confinement for such fugitisees
-as he might arrest-allegingas the sole
reason, that the jails of the State had
been forbidden to be used for the con-
finement of fugitive slaves by statutes
and that the sheriff of Suffolk had &C,
tually refused to grant him the use q
the prison of the county. He did no'
allege in his application, as Mr.. Renca :,
er would represent, that he was airau
of a mob, and had no confidence IN GET
ting aid from the civil posse. On tne
contrary, when asked to report wheih'
er any other Instructions existed to inc
execution of this law except the want
of a prison, he replied in the negative,
In reply to his application the marsha y
1 was referred to the joint resolution ~, y
Congress, approved March Sd, ioS0'
which is as follows:
i !" Resolved, &c. That where any
State or States, having complied WIN
