EATEN Up 3. (, EEiBALs.-The boats crew
of the French corvette Alcmene were sent on
the 29th of November last to find passage for
her on the western side of New Caledonia, in
the Pacific. AS they did not return, the barge
was despatched, and found that they had been
killed and eaten by the Menema aud Bellep
tribes, except three, who were made prisoners,
and forced to witness the feast. These men
were given up when the barge arrived. The
huts, planta ations and canoes of the cannibals
were destroyed; some persons taken, and twenty
others shot

People who lack money are always supposed
to lack merit, while they are sometimes ques..

SIMPLIoITY.-Th more | see of the world,
the more am satisfied that simplicity is insep-
arably the companion Of true greatness Inever
yet knew truly great mana man who over
topped his fellow -men--who did not possess o
certain playful, an almost infantile simplicity.
True greatness never struts on stills, or plays
the king upon his stage. Conscious Of its ele-
vation, and knowing in what that elevation
consists, it is happy to act its part like other
men, in the common amusements and business
of mankind. 1t is not afraid of being under

ISToLERABLE OPPRESSION. A number Of
girls working in the factories of Lowell were
induced, under promises of high wages and ex-
cellent treatment, to 60 to Columbia, Georgia,
to work in cotton mill. They have written
home, complaining with more than female volu-
bility Of the numberless disappointments and
expressions to which they have been subject.
Their wages are not so high, their fare is not
so good as they have been led to expect, and
the price of board is much higher. The board
ing-house is like barn, the mill is dirty, the
southern girls chew snuff, and, last and worst,
there is not lookmg-glass in tie Vhole factory
What Yankee girl would stand all these wrongs,
and not have even the consolation of looking at
her own pretty face in the mirrorl A rebellion
was the consequence, and it soon led to an i'm
provement in the condition of things, and the
girls agreed to stay till October.

MEssRs. EDIroRs perceive in the appeal
of the Cabinet-makers of this city, they speak OF
the agents of Government procuring furniture
for the public buildings from other cities, when
they can be served as well here This is GER
tainly wrong. But it is not the Cabinet ma
kers alone who have just reason to complain Of
this mode of proceeding. The storekeepers,
the painters, and those of other callings, are
cheated out of their rights in the same way
say their rights, for when men come to this
city, sacrificing as they do their privileges as
American citizens, to do business here, aiding
in building up the city and protecting the Gov
ernment property and Offices here, paying higher
rents and higher prices for living than they
would have to pay in many other places, they
have right to expect that, if Government wants
work done, or goods-that if they can do it as
well, or furnish as good and Mt as low price as
it can be done elsewhere-they ought to have
the preference. But what do we see? Many
of our mechanics, after being idle all winter,
when spring arrives and the public buildings
want furnishing, repairing or painting. instead
Of being employed are overlooked and men are
brought here from other cities, bringing with
them materials and tools, even to their ladders,
as Is the case with the painters on the Patent
Office, as am informed; and ! am sorry to
say that some of our private citizens follow this
bad example set by some OF our Government
oficers-men who are elected to office by the
people of this city, whose wives can boast that
their furniture was made in Philadelphia, New
York or Boston. Indeed, to such an extent has
this mania got for the manufacture and pur-
chase of articles from distant cities, that be-
lieve if they could have their houses built alta
distance, and could transport them here, they
would do it. l hope all those who wish to see
the city prosper will discountenance such folly,
and that Government agents will be made, by
those having control over them, to study the
interest of the mechanics and traders Of this
city. MECHANIC.

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGE ES I've quote from
the New York Express tle Glowing information
relative to the recent proceedings of religious
body in this city. The letter is dated the 9th
inst: Is.
A convection of three days dgration was held
in our CITY lsst eek, composed of clergymen
and laymen irom Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash
lngton, &C., belonging to that branch of the great
Methodist family called the Methodist Protest
ants. GalacgEg
Some years ago this sect laid aside that peou-
liar feature of Methodist economy which the
Hon. Reyerdy johnson, recently, in your city.
designated as the Aristocracy of Minister'S
and admitted lay representation into the Inv
making department Of the church, but con-
tinued that rule Of their parent church which
requires the churches to make an annual or BIZ
annual change of pastors, known as the Metho-
dist ltinerancy. Several churches in this and
the neighboring cities appear to repudiate all
foreign and conference legislation, and at this
convention they adopted the self-growing prin-
ciple of independence of the churches, thus claim
ing, among other things the right to choose
and retain their own pastors, with no other re-
strictions or limitations than mutual and volun-
tary agreement. M.ta -.,.....
+ / understand that this is the first of series
of voluntary associations for mutual improve
ment by this class of believers; that no new sect
or name is contemplated; that their sympathy
and cooperation with the Methodist Protestant
denomination, especially in their educational
and missionary measures, will be continued,
they only assuming the right to govern them
selves. Rev. Augustus Webster, D. D., of Bal
timore, and the eloquent Rev. Thos H. Stock
ton, are prominent in this movement.
