READY-MADE CLOTHING

thew have Just received from the North, one OF the
largest. handsomest and cheapest stock of
READY-MADE CLOTHING
ever brought TO this market. The people OF this
region have read and heard great deal of late, a.
oout good and cheap Ready. Made Clothing, and
have doubtless purchased on very favorable terms,
but GoopMAN & Co., think they can safely as
SER. that they have now on hand selection that
will give more general satisfaction, in every re-
spect. than any ever before offered here. Their
business connection at the North is such as 10 ena-
BILE them to have their goods made up in the best
and most fashionable style. and to sell them at the
lowest possible prices. Their stuck consists in
part, of
COATS, PANTS, VESTS AND JACKETS,
Of every quality and description, Neck and Pocket
Handkerchiefs, Drawers, Cotton, Flannel and
White Shirts, Suspenders, Stand up Collars, Caps,
Carpet Bags, Umbrellas, Gloves, Sc, together
with large supply Of fine and coarse Boots and
Shoes, which will be sold remarkably low.
10 addition to the above, they would respectfully
inform the people that they have just received
large assortment Of first.rate
NEGRO CLOTHING,
to an examination of which they invite especially
the farmers of this County. They feel confident
that they can sell them good bargains, TO say the
least, as any similar establishment in the State OF
Virginia. All they ask is fair trial, in order to
convince the public that it will be to their interest
to deal with them.

THE RrGHr KIND OF "HuMAN FREEDOM" AMI
DEMOCRACY. In contrast with the "human
freedom ideas of Mr.. Mann and his associates,
as divulged in his recent speech TO the Adolf
ton Convention in Massachusetts, we would
quote those set forth in the resolution below,
passed by the German democrats of Wisconsin,
recently. Itembodies the right idea of "hu.
man freedom as well as democracy, and is
worth any quantity of such liberty as that
which is confined only to the alienation of
single class of human beings - H h..
Resolved. That the policy of the United
states Government to remain neutral when the
oppressed of other countries are making efforts
10 throw of the yoke of tyranny, while, at the
same time. monarchical governments are using
all dlplomatical articles, and even force, to
prop up and to foster the monarchical institu
tons OF other countries, is not approved of by
US. But that We are decidedly in favor of the
U. 5. Government using all dplomatical and
ether means to disseminate the principles on
which our government is based and to counte-
nance efforts made in q; her countries to estab-
ish governments on the same principle" y,

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT IN TELEGRAPH
rNG.-The Argentine Zeitung Of the 9Th uIt
states that NJ. Hipp, matchmaker in Reutin-
gen, Nuremberg, has lately perfected The
writing telegraph in such degree that any
person ofordinary capacity can telegraph by
il in every minute one hundred and twenty
letters, or as much az smart pemman can
write. The instrument consisting of the
necessary number of keys. on each of which
the letter is marked, writes Ntha glass pen,
filled with common ink, or ordinary pa per,
which is laid over cylinder. The machin-
cry is very complicated, and its construction
cannot well be described without drawings.
As two or three writing machines can be set
in motion by one and The same wire, and rs
no transcribing becomes necessary, this new
invention, apart from its velocity, will re-
commend itself especially for news intelli-
gence. This instrument promises to be also
mechanically true. May some other discov-
cry give Us telegraph that will prove to be
morally true.-Nat. Intel. 'a-1- f.

This the government refused. The Consul re-

insolent. The hour of execution came. and
the Consul was on the spot; he brought with
him the consular flag. the British "Union
Jack" and again earnestly demonstrated, but
in vain. The officer on the piazza was about
to proceed in the execution of his duty. The
Consul finding all further remonstrance use

Fred. Wingate's Escape.

The Thomaston Miscellany gives minute
account Of the escape of this adroit burglar,
who was sentenced year or two since to
eight years imprisonment, for robbIng The
Augusta Bank.
On rnday morning, (l9th,) one of the
prison convicts, named Winga,e. made his
escape from the State Prison. It appears
that two prisoners, Wingate, and c. I.ibbv.
had previously concerted a plan for effectinp
their escape. For this purpose they had
provided themselves with sledea, and
Wingate was also furnished with knife
about 10 inches in length. Thus prepared

sledge. In the meantime, Mr.. SWEET, who wa

finding the door fast, ran to the guard room

g Elizabeth Dunn, who drowned her lille
gitimate child at Norwich, Conn, has been
found guilty of murder in the second degree,
the punishment being state prison for life
Such cases as these make the descendants of
the puritans look quite as black as the worst
shareholders. Her lawyer argued that she put
the child in the water with couple Of stones
on 1t for temporary burial, after it had died
natural death-she fearing the threat Of the Sc
lectmen Of Norwich, that if she made any more
charges to the town, they would put her in jail
The Hartford Times very much doubts wheth-
er this poor degraded woman is really muir
derer at heart. She was abandoned, and with
out the means of support, with a child in her
arms, and suffering for comfortable shelter
There is evidence that she was nearly starved
The selectmen Of one town packed her off to
another town, where she was met by a threat
which it was known would intimidate her. In
her unhappy and desperate condition, the igno-
rant woman resolved to put her infant beyond
the reach of starvation and daily suffering
A kind word of advice, with such treatment
as town paupers onght to receive at the hands
of selectmen, would probably have prevented
the murder and its horrible consequences
In our humble opinion, the most guilty person
connected with the murder of the child, was
not its unfortunate, starved and abandoned
mother
