trance.-The ministerial crisis in France re-
mains as It was at the close of the last week,
much being predicted and conjectured, and lit
terally nothing known done in the meantime,

GRErNA GREEE.-A law exists in Virginia
which is somewhat onerous on those ma atrimo-
niaIly disposed, requiring the candidates for the
hymenial bands not only to take out a license
before the ceremony can be performed, but also
to go before the proper officer and give bond
that the commonwealth shall not become charge
able with the support of the issue of the union
To avoid the publicity and inconvenience aris-
ing from compliance of this law is often an
object with parties, and to effect it Gretna
Green is made of the bridge at Harper's Ferry,
which, spanning the Potomac from Maryland to
Virginia, affords neutral territory on which
the rites can he solemaized without compli-
ancc with the laws Of either State. Two of
these marriages took place on the bridge last
week, the Rev. Geo. ID. Chenowith officiating
and Mr.. G.. w. Eulster and Miss Sarah Bury.
and Mr.. }. F. Misner and Miss Sarah Pates,
forming the matrimonial parties.

PAGES ELECTRIC ENcISR Professor Page
has sent his Electric Engine, constructed at the
Smithsonian Institute, under the patronage Of
Congress, to New York, where it is to be tried
this week. There is no doubt something in this
discovery of Professor Page, and the period is
not far distant when we may hope to realise
the full benefits of it. This Engine, though with
an inadequate battery, generates and exerts a
force OF over six-horse power which costs,
under the imperfect adaPttons, about twenty
cents per hour, or 81 for day of ten hours
There is no doubt however, that the cost will
be reduced and the efficiency of the machine de-
cidediy increased. The immense power Of the
Magnet, as developed by Professor Pages APP
paratus, exceeds all preconception. small
crow-bar touched to or held near smooth iron
piston, around which long magnetic wire has
been coiled, is attracted with tremendous force
oD the application of a wire connecting the coil
with battery, so that it cannot be wrenchcd
away by an ordinary mans best exertions.- -
This engine will go.

CottO" Manufactures Decreasing The
following is the number Of bales of Cotton
manufactured per annum in the South:
To September, 1949. 10000 bales
To September, 1850 100000 bales.
To September, 1851. 90, 600 bales.
This is deplorable result. But it has de-.
creased in the North, too:
For the year lS49-50. 457,OOO bales.
For the year 1950-5I. 4O4,0OO bales.
The increase of Cotton exported to foreign
countries over last year, is estimated at 393.-
555 bales This is not the best evidence of
the prosperity of Cotton manufacture ia tho
United States.-AlaJama Paper.

.9gue aud Fcrer on the .Hississippi.-The ST.
Louis Republican of the 23d says There has
not within the knowledge of the settlers on the
Upper Missouri, been such a general prevalence
OF ague and fever as during this fall. We eros
sed the Missouri at old Fort Kearny into Iowa
and from thence down through Missouri to St
Joseph, (and the country Is populous,) we
scarcely found house or family that was not
afflicted with the disease, or typhoid fever in
some shape or form. Whole families who have
for years enjoyed uninterrupted health, were
prostrated with the disease The mortality,
however, was not great. Everywhere there
were complaints the lack of what is regarded
as the main remedial agent in this disease
'Quinine.' Any price would have been paid
for If, but none TO be had. The prevalence Of
this disease is attributed to the long continued
high water in the Missouri and its tributaries

The people DEAR as politicians say,
Is what makes us appear to-day,
We write in rhyme so that you all
May read, reflect, and give call.
For we have opened, and for sale designed,
Boots and Shoes of every kind
For men and women we've supplies
For children, too, of every size.
We've LADIES Doors, the best that's made,
And Misses too, of every grade
Our stock of Caters is complete
Our Jefierson's cannot be beat
Our Jenny Lnd's are just the thing;
But them we need not sing,
Merely say that they cheap,
Double soled, and can't be beat.
Our Boots are all of the best kind,
4 little the best in town, you'll find;
We've boys boots too, so very low,
Wo surprised how fast they go.
Ofhalfou stock cannot sing,
For ii consists of every thing
That women, men, or boys do wear
So much we can't describe with care.
And if it suits the peoples mind,
Wen take produce Of every kind;
But, then, the CASH, it is confessed
AT all times will suit the best.
You need not fear shelves TO thin,
Supplies always coming in;
We buy them cheap, aud well we know,
We can't be beat in selling low.
Now, we invite you, one and all,
We hope you'll not forget 10 call;
Youi find us two doors from Wattson's store
Aud now done-we'll say more.

Mississippi, winch had previneslv

our engagement to act in concert.
The appropriation for arms was made
in preparation for q contest which
might soon come on, or which might
belong delayed, or entirely prevented
by making ourselves ready for any
Issue. South Carolina is in no re.
spect more strongly pledged than
Virginia, Georgia, and Mississippi,
and if their rctrogression delays her
in proceeding in common and con.
ccrted measure, her honor is not tar
nishcd. | grant, that with or without
pledges, the idea of submission is not
TO be tolerated. When our case be-
comes desperate. wo may adopt n
desperate remedy. 1t may be some.
times duty, to sacrifice the existing
inhabitants of a State in tho MARTYR.
dom Of liberty, for. the benefit Of
the everduring cause of freedom; but
let US not rashly conclude that such
martyrdom is necessary. Snicido Of
individuals or Of States, is rarely to
be justified. Where delay may
bring accession of allies and ultimate
success, we should avoid the chances
Of our defeat, and ofthe triumph Of
dcspotism. s
The argument, that the separate
secession of South Carolina will com.
pei tho Cooperation of other South.
ern States, does not strike my mind
with much force. We arc first told,
that there is no hope of such Cooper.
alton to drive upon US secession pre-
cipitately, and we are then told, that
secession must drive other States to
the same remedy. If wo adopt a
particular measure against their wish
es and remonstranccs, VIC can hardly
expect their active support to follow
as consequence. 10 say things.
offensive to their State pride and self.
love, is an old mode of conciliation.
Secession on our part, not preconcert-
ed with them, in effect rcbnkes them

be disguised, that, by the artful con-
trivances ofour rulers ut Washington,
South Carolina has been isolated; and
that the lead ofhno other Southern
State is less likely to be followed. -.
The sterootypcd argument of the

TO justify nsin any that

I believe, thst the past aggressions

It may well happen, hat the occasion

The abolitionist arc now held, BY thei.
leading politicians, straining in the

even hold until tile next Presidential

strong and too rapidly increasing, to
be long restrained from further
aggressions by any consideration Of

No matter, then, though our Government may

how could it help exercising clemency towards
