PERSECUTION OF THE jews by RUssIA.-A
letter in the New York Express, dated War
saw, Poland, August lst, after stating that
the cholera was raging there, and that nine.
ty- persons died the day previous, adds the
following in relation to the persecution of
the unfortunate Jews by Russia:
An imperial ukase is published, which
commands all men under the age OF so, who
desire to raise boards, to notify the local au-
thorities of their wish. Upon the payment
of heavy fee, the magistrate will give a per-
nit to the citizen to wear beard. The per-
nit ard fee are to be renewed semi-annual-
ly. He who fails to notify the authorities,
or neglects to procure the permit and honor
the tax, yet wears beard in defiance of the
ukase, makes himself liable to very heavy
fine, and to a severe bodily, y,,chastisement ,Oith
The knout. This is a rather severe and tyran-
nical law, especially to the poor Jews, who
reside in this country in great numbers, out
numbering, in some places, the Christian
and Gentle population. Their religious
tenets, (thc laws of Moscs,) you know do not
allow them to shave the beard or cut the
hair off the head, and many Of them are too
poor to pay for the permit These Jews,
therefore, are exposed to great cruelty and
persecution on the part of the Russian min
ions-low, ignorant and brutal officials, the
most If them, whose heardcned hearts de-
light in the cruel and unmerciful whippings
inflicted upon the despsed and hated de-
scendants Of Abraham. Russia and Polish
prejudice prompt the official exccutioner to
add stroke to stroke even above the prescrib-
cd lawful standard, until several victims of
this species of cruelty, u few days since, ac-
tually died under the hnOut. But here is none
that dares raise his voice against such wan
ton, wlful murder.

RALLY OF LocoFocoIsn.--On Saturday
evening, by dint Of hard work and advcrtis-
ing DR.. Olds and Gen. Lane, our forlorn
friends of the opposition succeeded in get
ting very respectable crowd of Locofocos,
Democrats and Wings. DR.. Olds was there,
but Gen. Lane was not.
Capt Markland, of GAINESVILLE, lead off.
He brought to mind the names of several
anciest personages and made very respect
able Spphmore defamation. Nobody was
killed, and as he is very generous sort of a
fellow, We suppose he had no such intention.
We will leave him in the hands of his
friends.
DR.. Olds followed and delivered his Con-
gressional speech with few additions of
dirty anecdotes, bad scriptural quotations
and several basphemous references. The
applause Of his hearers was sad commen-
tary upon their very recent essays on black
guardsm and we are very much afraid that
our advice to them has done no good We
don't think that Dir. Olds has any more right
to blackguard than any one else, and FOR nc
otherre reason than that he happens to be the
ghost Of the man who died for want OF "hon-
est principles" and was once on time "bur-
led so deep by the Locofocos of Fairfield that
the hand of resurrection could not reach
him."
It seems to us that the DR.. ought to have
prepared new speech. With avery few
alterations, il has answered his purpose for
every campaign since he turned Locofoco,
and it was due to his friends to give them
something new. But they nre satisGed,wc
of course must be. We shall take occasion
hereafter to give our readers portion of 4
i'm slices. The "martal music" of the even
ing did not agree very well with the speak
er's terrible fright at the prospect Of Gen
Scott's election to the Presidency. II mus
have sounded strange in his ear-opposed t.
the election OF a great military man, and yet
make use of the drum and fife at q political
meeting!

"OMIKoUs. ."-Eveybod who looks around,
can easily notice the strong current of pop
ular favor rushing along for Gen. Scott car
rying him faster and faster towards the
White House; but perhaps nowhere out of
Cincinnati are there so many visible signs.
The Gazette says that ga rich scene came off
at Locofoco meeting in the Fifteenth Ward
one evening this week. The crowd gath
cred, and in due time an attempt was made
to organize. A motion was made, that
certain well-known Democrat take the chair,
which was unanimously carried;-whcre-
upon, to the dsmay of the meeting, the
chairman elect arose and stated that he was
Democrat, had always been Democrat,
but that he could not preside over the meet
ing, because he did not intend to vote the
ticket. The meeting was thunder-struck,
and kept silence for somo time, until some
body moved that another well-known Demo-
crat take the chair, which was carried with
like unanimity-but, to the utter amazement
and Consideration of the meeting, this
chairman elect also announced to the meet
ing that he could not'vote the ticket, but, that
he would take the chair and put their mo-
tions for them, if they desired it. Not wish
ing to try any more experiments, and not
knowing how far the disaffection might ex-
tend, they concluded to let him preside. in
spite of his disloyalty. OF course there
was not much enthusiasm in the meeting,
after these occurrences, and after attempt
ing to hold Locofoco meeting for some
time, they gave it up in despair, and dd-
journed, after giving three hearty cheers for

AFFAIRS IN TExAs.-A letter which we
find in the New Orleans Picayune, dated
Gonzales, Texas, Aug. 5th, says:

dollars per acre, and rapidly rising-the u
mount of immigration having been in the
last two years most astonishingly great
There have been recently discovered on tho
Upper Colorado different specimens of quartz
containing large quantity of gold, and no
doubt the mineral wealth of Texas is very
great. All that Texas wants to make her
the great State of the South, or rather the
Union, is working men, men who employ
their hands, who till the soil, and all who
are engaged in productive pursuits. 1t needs
actual settlers to develop its resources as an
agricultural and producing country.
Mechanics of all kinds do well, getting
80 80 per day. A for the lawyers and doc
tors they are as "thick as the leaves in VAL
ambrosa." 1t seems to me that there Is
lawyer for every ten men, and with nothing
in Gods world to do but to starve. There
are more lawyers and less law in Texas
than any State in the Union.

LocoFoco ASSERTION AND TRuTH Con-
rRAsTED.-The Boston Pilot, speaking of
General Pierce's course in New Hampshire,
in regard to the abolition of the test vote,
says:
"The good feeling of General Pierce, in
this matter, may be appreciated from what
we have said thus far. But circumstance
occurred which adds greatly to his credit
When the towns came to vote upon the
amendment granting equal rights to the
Catholics, they rejected it, as we have seen.
Hillsborough, the home Of General Pierce,
gave very large majority in favor of the
amendment"
Now, what are the facts! The official re-
turn of the votes in in "iillsborough, the
home of General PIERCE" on the last vote
of the Catholic emancipation, shows the fol-
lowing result:
