of Virginia, there will be possibility of cleo
ting Wing Legislature. The undoubted
wing counties elect GA, and the Democratic

ties, with at least an even chance that the
Wings will carry a majority. The certain

ALADAMA-The Mobile Register thus
sums up the result Of the Congressional can
vass in this State:
According to former political distinctions,
the members elect are all Democrats, except
Messrs. Abercrombie and White. The
representation from Alabama will therefore
stand as it did in the last Congress, 5 to 2,
As to the leading political issue of the
present day, it may be set down that Messrs.
Bragg, Harris and Hubbard, (3) are South
ern Rights men, while Messrs. Abercrom-
bic, Smith, Cobb and White, (4) are Union
men. But this division demands an expla-
nation. None of the members elect are dis
unionists or advocates of secession. The
Southern Rights men only contend for the
abstract right of secession, as supraconsti-
tutional remedy, but do not urge its exercise
for existing causes.

A Clergyman Opinion of Newspapers

Rev. DR.. DANIEL BAKER, of Texas,
says he has travelled through great many
States, mixed with the people, conversed at
the country fire-side, preached in the open
forest as well as the thronged city. Where
he found newspapers, he found Intelligence
whom he could talk TO or listen TO
with pleasure, and among whom his good
work prospered. As a general thing, where
a newspaper was not taken, he could tell in
the sloveness of the household, the ignorance
of the children, and the uniformed parents.
So marked is the difference in civilization
between those who do not, that the traveller
in the country will be pleased and enter
tanned by the one, while he will dispise the
other, without knowing the cause to which
the difference is attributable.

A Missouri CALIroRN1AN IN New York.
The N. Y. Tribune, of the l4th inst, has
the following paragraph:
SLAVERY IN CALIFoRNIA-TuE TABLES
esterday, a Missouri slavehold-
er arrived from California; with fine lot of
gold and a fine looking young colored man,
claimed as his slave. Itappears that he had
taken him from Missouri in March, lS49,
and that the young man had served him
nearly two years in the mines, earning his
"master" some thousands of dollars.
At one time he was offered $1,000 per an
mum for the fellows services, but refused
to take less than $4,000. He took him out
as his slave, held and worked him as such
while in California, and compelled him,
against the mans wishes, TO return with
him as such, and intended last eyning to
have left this city for Missouri, with the
man Sam. Sam, however, took counsel as
TO his legal rights, and on learning that'from
the day he set foot on California he had
been, in law, his oacn man, he just stepped
aside and concluded to let the Missourian
90 back alone, but not until he had been
greeted by writ, issued by E. d. Culver,
Esq, of this city, claiming one holt Of the
young mans $4,000 for his work. Sam is
believer in the scripture, which afiirms,
the laborer is worthy Of his hire" "Thou
shalt not muzzle the OK that treadeth out the
corn"
We see no way but that the Mssourian
must hand over some of the dust to SAM
What is worthy of note in Sans story is,
that there are other blacks as the diggings,
kept and claimed as he was; and he afirms
that there are so many Southerners and their
agents there that they dare not attempt to
get their freedom or resist. He is a young
man of great candor, and adduces the
strongest evidence to confirm his state
ments. The writ was personally served
on the owner, so he must face the music
| We commend him to the Castle Garden
Committee for counsel.
This deliberate attempt TO plumber a
"Missourian' Of his property and money,
seems to tickle the writer for the Tribune
very much. 1t would be a fit punishment
for him to be forced to feed and bed with
the ''young man Of great candor," for the
rcmaider of his natural life.-T TIMES.

MARRIED LADIEs.-A married lady, al
luding in conversation to the one hundred
and forty-eighth Psalm, observed, that while
''young men and maidens, old men and chill
dren'' were expressly mentioned, not word
was stated about married women. An old
clergyman whom she was addressing, as
sured her they had not been omitted, and
that she could find them included in Que of
the proceeding verses, under the description
of udporS and storm.

POSTAGE STAMPS WoN'T STIcK.-Thi.

POSTAGE STAMPS WoN'T STIcK.-This
is pretty general complaint. But it is I'M
founded. They acW "stick" if you only
know how to put them on. Don't wet the
back of the stamp. If you do it curls and
turns up at the corners. The right way is
to mOisten, thoroughly, a sufficiently large
sport on the envelope, Or on the letter if
you don't use an envelope. Then put on the
stamp-prrss it down flat and close, and our
word for it, it will not come off So says an
exchange. Try it.

DREADFUL TnAoEDY.-The Woodville,
{ Mississippi Republican states that three
children returning from school at Liberty,
were overtaken by pack Of dogs in pur-
suit of runaway slaves and killed and near
" devoured before assistance could be rem

ing their screams and the barking of the
dogs, ran out and shot two of the dogs,
upon which their owner rode up and threat
encd to shoot him if he killed any more
The distressed father reloaded his gun and
deliberately shot the threatener through the
heart, after which he gave himself up, was
tried and discharged.
