" EMPLoYmRNT.--We are painfully aware
that large NUMBER Of our fellow citizens, are
ut the present time, entirely destitute Of employ
ment; and are Of course hard pushed for the
means of subsistence. The papers from Galcnu
say that there will be moro houses put mp there
THE season, than has been erected for years be-
fore. 1t is known Of course, that where there
is demand for thu labor Of Carpenters, there is
also demand for all kinds of service
Laborers are very much needed, and will be
more wanted as the spring opens, all along the
line of the railroad, from Chicago 10 Galen..-
Thore is plenty Of work to be obtained iron
Improvement in the north part OF the Slate, as
the spring opens; as well as upon the MiIwau-
heo and Mississippi railroad. Nothing is to be
obtained in this world without lsbor, and we
know that it is sometimes hard abor, to find
work, yet we think that in this State and the
west generally, no man should sit lazly down,
and cry for charity, when 4 litllo effort will make
him an independent 1earkiag nan.

Nh. WEBsTER's SpEEcH.-A consid-
cradle amount of our space this week is
taken up with the speech of Mr.. Web
ster at Annapolis. 1t IS good speech
and will be read with interest.
During the evening of the dinner
Judge Chambers was called out by a
toast, complimentary to the Judiciary.
In his remarks he made the following
reference to Mr.. Webster:
ale had sat for many years in the
Senate Of the United States, and listen
ed eagerly to the words of wisdom and
truth that fell from the lips Of the dis
tinguished guest who had just taken his
leave. He believed as solelnnlv as he
ever believed in any fact recorded in
history, that the mission of Daniel Web
ster on earth was emphatically to defend
the Constitution of the United States;
and every heart would respond to the
truth that no man had ever more faith
fully and fully fulfilled his mission"

The KENT MAssAcRE.-Wm. w.
Webster, confined in the Chestertown
Jail on the charge of being concerned in
the murder Of the Cosdon family, hav-
ing applied to be released on writ of
ha1cas corpus, had hearing on We'd
nesday, before Judges Hopper and Ec-
cleston. James NJ. Robinson who is
now deputy Attorney General for Kent
county, assisted by George Vickers and
p. Chambers Wickes, appeared for the
State, and Richard Hynson for the pris-
oner. Several witnesses were examin-
ed, and although nothing decisive was
elected, the Judges, upon deliberation,
remanded him to Jail.
One of the witnesses-Mr. Henry Mitch
ell, formerly of Chesapeake City--stated
that Webster asked him, when he told
him he was believed to have instigated
the murder, "What they would do with
man who instigated MURDER" and
again, "what would they do with man
who turned States evidence"
Upon the person of John Browne,
who was arrested few days ago, on
charge of stealing wheat; was found
note without date, as follows:
"Mary Browne, John Browne:--He
says he is going to kill them tonight;
wants me to help him; you are my
friends and | may tell you; if you don't
mind he will kill you. The man is
Abram Taylor"
This man Browne keeps a kind of
store at the place known as the Cold
Well. He says he found the note in his
shop, and that upon showing it TO BRAN
Taylor, the latterlaughed at it as joke.
Ford, McCoole and Heverin, who had
been arrested on suspicion, were dischar-
ged, but recognised to appear at the
Court as witnesses.
The Baltimore Sun remarks truly that
"the whole transaction seems still to be
involved in an impenetrable mystery"

THE EFFEcT.-The Boston Post saws
it is estimated that more than million
of dollars in sales have been lost to Bos-

preston among Southern merchants that
Boston would not sustain the compro-
