We gather the following items from the No
vember number Of the International Magazine
Derby, Miller 4 Co. Of Auhurn, n. Y, have
got up life Of DR. Jadsoa, 10 anticipate that by
the widow OF the great missionary, and to deprive
aer Of the best part of the profits to which she Is
ea,itlca, THIS is one of those wrongs for which
there is no Sufficient remedy in law. Their ex-
cuse is: "A public man is public property end
we will do with one as we please"
Gen. Geo. p. Morris has felt himself called up.
on to vindica,e, through the public press his title
to the authorship Of the popular and beautiful
song, ~Wooamaa spare Tia. Tree"
Two or three months ago the editor of the Bos-
ton Sunday News took Gen. Morris literary
character to task, and charged that "the song was
written by the late Sam'l Woodwork, who while
in state Of in.oxication sold it to Gen. Morris
in public bar-room, Tor paltry sum-" Gen.
Morris, in his letter in reply, Says "A more in
famous charge was never made, and the whole
story from beginning TO end, without any qualih-
cation whatever, is an unmitgated falsehood."--
Gen. Morris most ably vindcatcs his own repu-
tation from the charge of plagiarism, as he does
that of the author of the "Old Oaken Bucket"
from any thing like in,emperance. "iIe was not
less Remarkable" says Gen. Morris, "for his
habits of Temperance than for his many excellent
qualities Of head and heart"
Four new histories of the War with Mexico
are about to be published, one of which will be
in three large volumes by ar accomplished officer

lished early in December, entitled "Recolections
Of Our Nsighborhood in ths Vest" The Inter-

of female writer's Of prose fiction in this eoantry,

GO The following paragraphs do not look
very encouraging for the success of the Fire An
nihilator. In fact they look very much like put
ting an "extnguisae-" upon ''the great discovery
of the age"
The "ANNIHlLAToR.n--E English papers state
that several unsuccessful experiments have been
recently made with the .annihilator, at different
places on the Continent. Al Hamburger, shed
was set on fire, but the heat was too great 10 per-
nit an approach, and common water engine was
brought to bear upon the flames.
FIRE ANNIHILAroRs ON ERI We learn
that tie building at the Novelty Works, where
large numbers of the so called Fire Anmhi!a-
tors, are in progress Of construction, took fire
on Thursday afternoon, and in spite Of all the
s'annihilating'' gas contained in the composition
OF the '.bricks"-the efforts OF the workmen, and
full streams from the delivery pipes Of several
Sire Annihilator Cans" together with the eX-
ert,ons of the Fire Department, the building and
contents were nearly consumed.

Elections.

llL,NoIs.--The only llatter of general inter-
est in the recent elections in Illinois is the fate Of
the General Banking LAW. We have not returns
sufficient to indicate clearly the result, but the
general Impression seems TO prevail tina; the law
has been adopted. The people have in great
measure taken the question ont of the hands of
the politicians and dc,erminsd to decide II for
themselves: In Chicago the majority is $500 in
favor of the law, and this too in city where the
whole influence of the democratic press was
brought to bear against the law.
W,scoSstN.-Thc people of Wisconsin at their
election on Tuesday last, voted on the question
Of the introduction of system Of Free Banking
in that State. The opposition TO the law was not
so violent as in Illinois, and il is thought that the
law has been adopted. A Dispatch to the 81 Lou
is Republican states that L. J. Farwell, (whis,)
is elected Governor of Wisconsin beyond a doubt
New YoRx.--The returns from New York
are contradictory as to the result of the election.
The n. Y. Tribune thinks that the Wing State
Tickle, is defeated, with the exception of the At
torney General. Other papers, with the same
means of Judging, are of contrary opinion. The
State Senate will be decidedly wing. The House
is probably democratic.
Mississtpri.--fhe returns from this State in
djcate the election of Genl Foose Governor. by
a small majority over Jefferson Davis. The race
has no doaa; been close one.
MARyLASp.-An election for Governor and
State officers took place in Maryland on the first
Wednesday in November. All our intetelisence

Chief Justice Shaw has made an important de-

Common Schools. The city of Charlestown was
sued for excluding female pupil from the COM

ter. The decision in the Common Pleas was that
such cause was not sufficient 10 authorize the ex-
clusion. The decision Of the Supreme Court, re-
versng that of the lower court, is that the school
authorities have the power Of regulation in this
respect.

E~ The unfavorahle accounts reaching us
from so many sources respecting Kossuth wonli
incline many TO believe almost any thing at pre-
sent that might be said against him. We hope,
however, for The honor of human nature and re-
public anism, that the representation of the sent-
ments Of Kossuth, taken by our New York Cor
respondent from the italian paper at Genoa, are
incorrect. We hope better things of Kossuth
vet; even il all the accounts OF his conduct on
board the Mississippi are true.

thereby give occasion 20 these frequent runaways
