owing to the late revolutions and counter-revo-

followed each othc- in quick succession, and of which
the end is NOT yet" the leading periodicals of Great

imperfect records OF the newspapers and the elabo

The Dron has the following rather Incredible
story A commercial traveller, whose business
frequently called him from Orleans to Paris NJ
Edmund D., wns accustomed TO 90 10 an
hotel with the landlord of which he was nc
quainted. Liking, like almost all persons of his
profession, to talk and Joke, he was the favorite
of everybody in the hotel A few DAYS ago he
arrived and WAS received with pleasure by all,
but il was observed that he was much less On v
than usual. The stories that he told, instead of
being interesting as formerly, ware Of lugub-
rious character. On Thursday evening after
supper he ,vited the people of the hotel TO 90
to his chamber and take coffee, and b. promised
to tell them a tale full ofdramatc inc dent On
entering the room his guests saw on the bed,
near which he seated iimself pair Of pistols
:" Ny Story" said he, has sad denouement,
and ] reqnire the pistols 10 make il clearly un.
derstood." AS he had always been accus
toned, IN telling his tales, to indulge In express
sive pantomine and 10 take up any thing which
lay handy calculated to add to the effect, no sur.
prise was felt at his having prepared pistols
He began by narrating the loves Of young
girl ard young man. They had both, he said,
promised, under the most solemn oaths inviola-
BILE fidelity. The young man, whose profession
obliged him 10 travail, once made a long alb
sence. Whilst he was away, he received a
legacy, and on his return FASTENED to place it at
her feet. But on presenting himself before her,
he learned hat, 10 compliance with the wishes
OF the family, she had just married wealthy
merchant. The young man thereupon took a
terrible resolution. 4" He purchased pair of
pistols like these" he continued, taking one in
each hand, "then he assembled his friends in
his chamber, and after some conversation, placed
one under his chin, in this way, as do, saving
in Joke that it would be real pleasure TO blow
ont bis brains. And at the same moment he pulled
the trigger" Here the man discharged the pistol
and his head was shattered to pieces. Pieces OF
the bone and portions Of the brain fell on the
Mortified spectators. The unfortunate man had
told his own story.

A S>ss< on Bnayd me Mississippi The scene
on board the United State frigae Mississip; i,
when the illus.nous kossuth, with his fellow
exiles came on board, is represented to have
been impressive in the extreme. The iii GERS
Of the ship, together with the tenderhesrted
Jack tars, immediately formed a circle around
the distinguished stranger, not to cape and stare
at them, but to show by their looks, and their
presence and emotion, how heartfelt ard warn
their welcome 10 the protection of the
American republic. A letter from Constantine
Pile says:
Nth tears streaming down his eyes, and
intonatons OF voice expressing the deepest feel
ing, he uttered few sentiments announcing his
JOY at finding himself under the protection Of the
glorious stripes and stars of the freest nation in
the world. Captain Long, who had already ad.
dressed Gov. X. once on board the Turkish frig-
ate, began again to speak in answer, but his
bosom sweiied too much with emotion. Tears
stood in his eyes and in the eyes of all The Off
GERS and men, and his speech was limited To say
ing, SIR you are welcome Sir, you are -
three cheers for Gov Kossuthp When this or
der had been heartily responded to- still Captain
Long, in his joy and sympathy, could add no.
thing better than Three cheers more for Gov.

We are glad to learn that not only Kossutb
himself but his family, and indeed the whole
party, were in excellent health when last heard
from. Only one adult person had deceased dur
ing their residence at Kutahia-Madame Wag-
err, exhausted by her fatigue :, exposures, and
alarms, during her two successive attempts 10

We have already, on many occasions, ex-
pressed our opinion as TO the impossibility OF
cirrying the Fugitive-slave law into execution.
These two affairs are, among others, but too
distinct proofs of the truth Of our assertions.
The South, on the faith OF the assurances
made pretty generally by the Northern press, OF
an unwillingness to encourage the fanatcism OF
The Abolitonists, has, in part, shown DISPOSE
ton to give the North another trial. Syracuse,
however, proves the difficulty Of the position
and the impossbility, under existing circum'
stances, of the property of Southerners being
respected in the North, or by the North. South
erners will have TO seek a remedy for the evil
among themselves, and by relying upon them
selves

Misdemeanor or Treason.

Some twenty prominent citizens" says a
Northern paper, "were brought before Judge
CokKLIs, at Auburn, on October 18th, charged
with treason, in the rescue of the fugitive slave
at Syracuse" Bail TO the amount of $4,000
was required Of the prisoners. IL appears
further, that these parties are now merely charged
with misdemeanor, not with treason.
In Pennsylvania, however, the doctrine of trea-
son is still chung to, or will be chung to- And
thus we have in two States two different appli-
cations of the Las for the same offerce-rescu-
ing a fugitive slave.
The question has been asked what is the pun
ishInent for treason! But the question has also
been asked, (and that appears to us the most
important point) what is treason in the United
States? or, more explicitly, is there such crime
MS treason in a republic What the Constitu-
ton says on that point is at least enough.
Now, we are not very fond of this old-fash-
toned monsrchical doctrine of treason. 1t IS
absurd, fallacious, and inconsistent-an inven-
ton Of the enemy---a wreck of the old tortuous
system Of kingly vindictiveness and pride--a
fang Of the old serpent of persecution.
If the laws Of the country have been violated
surely there is enough vitality in them to reach
and punish the criminal or criminals, without
having recourse TO an ancient 1ction under which
royalty closked its fears and its passions Trea-

Fatal consequences or Folly,

An occurrence, which happened at young
ladies' seminary in New York, is mentioned in
the Times Of that city, which presents anooAer
proof of the folly of INDUCING in the thoughtless
practice OF attempting to Brighten others. Two
OF the young ladies in the institution were en-.
gagged in their own rooms, conversirg upon the
science of anatomy, in the course of which one
of them proceeded to relate some experience she
had formerly acquired ia a dissecling ROOM
Just as the conversation reached this point, the
door of the room opened and another O the
inmates of the seminary entered with slow and
solemn tread, having white sheet wrapped
about her form, and her face powdered to per-
feet wilderness, her jet black hair, eyes and brows
presenting contrast which gave startling liv-
illness to her ghost like counte nance. The lady
who was relating her experience, as already
stated, is said to be mentally superior to any of
her classmates, and no.ed for her strength of
mind and freedom from nervousness, and absurd
srnsibllity. So sudden, however, was the ap
pfoach Of the figure, just at moment when her
mind was least prepared for anything associated
with thoughts of the dead, that upon beholding
the apparation she fell senseess to the floor aud
awOke to the scenes around her only to show
her anxious attendants that reason had fled and
left sad tok rs of the mental wreck At last
accounts no change was di coyerable in the dis
tressng symptoms of the unfortunate girl, and
there is little encouragement to hope that reason
will ever resume Its seat. This occurrence of
course, has produced much distress, both ic the
seminary and in the families of the respective
parties.

AGRICULTURE IN CALIFoRNTA.--At the Mis-
sion of Carmel near Monterey, and in that vi
cinity, considerable attention has been paid to
agriculture during the present season, and the
crops are highly promising. The fruit crop in
Los Angeles this season Is very abundant, the
peach and pear orchards being comp etely over
burdened by the immense loads OF fruit with
which their branches are covered The vine
yards nlso are EXTREMITY prolific, and will yield
handsome revenue TO their owners, by the sale
of fresh fruit and in wine. There is fine field
for the agricuturalist in that section of the
country, az land is to be had on the most rea-
sonsble terms, improved and unimproved. Not
wtiistanding the revenue from the cultivated es-
taies is 30 great and almost certain, several gen
tie zen who have already ACCUMULATED handsome
fortunes, are ready TO dispose Of their estates.
The very extensive property Of Mr. Wolfskill,
one Of the best establishments in the Puebla, in
the most perfect order, has been offered for TIE
sum of $4,000, as we are informed. The yearly
revenue from the products can scarcely be less
G. 81 0 900 per annup, under proper manage
ment The lands at the Mission, about seven
miles from the Puebla, once extensively cult.
waited under the superinteudenoe of the priests,
are now again likely TO produce beautifully.
Several enterprlsina Americans have air ady To-
Gated claims upon them, with the intention of
bringing them unde. high state of cultivation,
and they will soon TEEN with the almost spon
taneous productions of the fruitful soil.

The DO ton Post says Of the financial pres
sure in New York The idea of throwing q
cloud upon the money market, by exciting fears
of further shipments of specie, is outrageous
For it now appears that after all the fuss thu
has been made about the export of coin, the re-
cepts at New York from January /, to October
/, were within 100000 as large as the outgoes
during the same period-that the receipts of
the present mont, are nearly or quite S..
O0O, 0OO-that the New York banks, with loan
diminished by $70Oo,00O since Jane 81, have
at least two millions of specie more than they
held at that date--and that the gold is constant
ly coming to New York from the South and
West in sufficient quantities, combined with re-
eeipts from emigration and from California pas:
senger', to richly affect the coin carried out to
California in the pockets of individuals.
Beyond all these facts, the further receipts
from California, to January, is admitted by all
hands, will be from fifteen 10 toenty millions OF
collars, while cotton and produce bills will be
daily increasing. Well may one ask, what more
can be desiredl If we produce gold. we shall
export it, from time to time This is MS true
aid AZ fixed fact as that the world turns round
and occasionally, we doubt not our exports will
be too heavy for the peace and comfort of our
immense credit system, which is ba sed upon an
adequate possession Of the sa3e ARTICLE. But
in the main, the export will be as useful and as
profitable, and, what is yet more unanswerable
AS natural as the export of anything else, and
our financial men will be obliged to get used to
it. And when it is confessed that the stock on
hand is adequate, and that for months to come
the receiots will be larger than any outgo can
possibly be, it becomes not only ri licuous but
wicked for anybody to seek to create panic in
the market on the strength of sending abroad
some half million million Of dollars
The fall exports of our agricultural products
have scarcely begun, and it may be that con-
siderable specie will drbble along to Europe
for some time to come, but it is all but certain
that our gain of coin, in November, December
and January, will be from nine to twelve mil
lions of dollars, and, very probably, half as much
again.
Those interested, however, in keeping up the
rates of money, and in depressing stock securi-
ties, will avail themselves of every ,ortunity
of practising upon the fears and ignora of the
creduous. On Friday and Saturday. both here
and in New York, they began to shake their
h ads and to prophesy heavy exports Of coin
from New York the present week but the high
est estimate that we heard was 81 900 600
Were the amount S3000,00o, at this particular
season, there would be no cause for alarm,
though we doubt not thai very respectable
panic could be got up on such an occasion. The
gradual extension, however, Of true financial
principles, suited to the new circumstances OF
the ii nes must have its eff ct upon the com
munity, some time or other, and enable it TO ex
pose these continual, interested. and wicked
croakers, TO derison and contempt.

VARIATIONS FRoM CLIMATE IN ORG ANIc LIFE
Organic life assumes new characteristics
und.r new Influences. The domestic animals
of Europe were not found in this country on
its discovery. They escaped from the Span
| iards, and ran wild for centuries. Ia copse-
quence, new and striking characteristics have
been acquired in accommodation to the noval cir.
| cumstan es. The wild hog strk ngly resembles
| the wild boar of Europe The hog of the
mountains of Parasmus resembles the wild boar
of France. Instead ofbristles which the stock
has from which he sprang, he has thick fur.
often crisp, and sometimes an undercoat of
wool Changes in color have taken place, and
the anatomical structure has altered.
The OK has undergone similar changes some
in South America, called "peones," having
clothing of fine fur; others with naked skin,
like the Mexican or Guinea dog. In Columbia
the practice of milking cows was given up and
the secretion of milk is confined to the period of
sucking the calf
The wild dog Of the pampas does not bark
like the domestic dog. but bowls like wolf,
The wild cat has lost the sweet music of the
csterwauling concert. The wild horses of the
higher plains # South America is covered with
long shaggy fur, of uniform chestnut color
The sheep of the central Cordilleras produces
thick matted, woody fleece, which breaks off in
tufts, and never reappears. The goat has lost
her large tents, and produces two or three kinds
annually. Similar changes occur in geese and
gsliinaceus fowls. Rumpless ones have sprung
up, wanting the candle ververtebra. Cats are
frequent on White river without tails.
The fat tailed sheep of Tartary lose their
mass of fat on removal to Siberia. The African
sheep has become like goat, covered with hair
The Wailachan sheep are different still. The
