GENERAL CASS.

Resolutions purporting to have been adopted
BIZ the Old Mems committee, and Young Mems
committee, of the New York Democracy, were
pubsheda few days ago in some of the Northern
newspapers. The Evening Post, the organ of
the Barnburners, says that of the sixty persons
composing the Old Mems committee, only twenty
three were present when the resolutions were
adopted, and of one hundl ed composing the Young
Mems committee, only thirty were pres
ent. The Post proceeds to make the following
sneering commentary this movement in behalf

be desperate indeed, if his friends are compelled
to resort to such tricks as the Post imputes to

LYNCH LAW IN THE CELESTIAL EMPIRE. -
IL appears by the late foreign news that the "Out-
side Barbarlans" are not the only people under the
sun who appeal to the code af Judge Lynch in
cases OF emergency. Even the inhabitants of the
''Central Flowery Kingdom it seems sometimes
lose their equanimity and indulge those passions.
which, in their pure sight, peculiarly mark the
barbarians whose lot has been cast, unfortunately
for them, outside the walls of China. Thus we
read in late London paper, that rebellion hav-
ing broken out in the Sin on district in the Cam
ton province, Chong, the district magistrate, made
prisoners Of all the literati of first and second
rank; one of whom, examined as to the perpetra-
ton of the Decd was tortured so severely that he
died under the inhiction. Upon this the villagers
rose en- masse, tied Chong to a tree, gave him
certain number of blows with bamboo, shaved off
his beard and eyebrows, and dismissed him to tell
his tale to the deputy governor of the province,
killing seven policemen who attempted to defend
him. What fearful reckoning awaits the Celes-
tials who shaved off the beard and eyebrows of the
enlightened and faithful Chong And what fig
ure he cut in laying his grievances before the de-
puty-gosernor, minus beard and eyebrows

DANVILLE RAILROAD.

proposition is now pending in the Legislature
Inappropriate 100000 for the completion of the
Richmond and Danvile Railroad. 1t is asked, that
one half of this srm shall be paid during the pre-
year, viz: 100000 on the first May, 1852,
100000 on the first of July, 1852, 100000 ON
the LIST January, 1853, and 100000 on the LIST
July, 1853. stipulated that the income and
property of the Company shall be mortgaged to
pay the State seven per cent. on the loan or so
much as may be due annually, after the LIST May,
1852, until the principal and interest shall have
been discharged.
The Roanoke Republican makes the following
just and sensible remarks in advocacy of the bill,
and we commeLd them to the notice of the reader
as applicable, not only to the Richmond and Dan
vile railroad, but to every other leading enterprise
in which the State has invested its capital:
mo man who looks to the resources of the
country interested in this road, and the pressing
need of such an Improvement can doubt to its Ut
innate completion. Todoubt this is to forget man,
self-love. It must come. 1t will come. But
when! That is the question now involved in I'm
certainty. Unaided by some such provision as
that contained in this Bill it may not progress
farther than the Staunton for some years. Indi-
vidual exertion will need respit. All hope of
aid from the prejudiced and penurious must be
given up before the efforts and aid of the liberal
will be renewed During all this time (how long
none say) the loss to the country and the City
of Richmond will be immense. The former will
lose because market is wanting; the latter, be-
so importanta tributary to her wealth is not
available. Besides, the State must lose by the
delay. She must lose because she has large
amount invested in the road, wholly unproduc
tive in its incomplete state. She must resort to
taxation to pay the interest and principal of so
much OF her debt. With ST. 100000 thus invest
ed she will lose 100000 per annum, to raise which
taxation is the only resort.
"Although the State debt has been increased,
until by the estimate of some, it has reached
S20,000,000, yet the remarkable fact of an i'm
provement in the State credit has followed. We
will not stop to advert to the causes that have led
to this state of things. Twelve months ago state
bonds were sold with difficulty at par; now
they command a premium of 81 per cent. Sup
pose then the State shall loan to our road 5000
600 upon the terms stipulated in the bill she
will issue bonds to that amount and put them in
market Her bonds for 100000 will bring $751;
900. The State loans $780, 900 to the com pany,
and has $4,000 toapply to other purposes. five
deduct six per cent. to pay the interest on these
bonds, still net profit of2d per cent will be real
ised. This would be the case if the COM
pany should receive the whole amount at once
and pay no interest until the end of one year,

An amusing instance of criticism, founded
on want of knowledge, occurs in the Knick-
erbocker Magazine for October. The writer,
after turning one of the finest of BurA's I'm

Bread Without Crust.

The following viii be interesting to house,
keepers, and we would advise its trial-for
if hard crust and burned bread can be avoids
ed, it will be saving worth accomplishing
The Wyoming county Mirror says:
Mr. Throop. of this village, lately presented
US loaf of bread, which was done, and well
done, aOiihout crust The process of baking,
or rather steaming, he gave as follows: Pre-
pare the dough, the same as for baking, in
a tin basin; when in proper condition, in
stead Of putting into the oven. put it into a
kettle. There should be something in the
bottom of the kettle, hoop of tin two or three
inches broad would be best, to keep the basin
from the bottom, and there should be suffi-
cient water to cover about one-third of the
basin. Keep the water constantly boiling
from the time the loaf is putin, till it is done.
which will be about thFee-quarters ofan hour,
with an ordinary sized loaf To know when
it is done, press upon the center of the top of
the loaf with the thumb, and if done it will
puff back on removing the thumb, if not, the
indention will remain:
The loaf presented US is nearly as white
outside as inside, and the outside is scarcely
any harder than the rest The flavor is not
perceptibly different from bread well baked.
We have tried the experiment in our own
family with perfect success. It looks white
and beautiful, and we think equals ordinary
bread in its flavor.

punciual, who did not prosper in the long run ?
We don't core who or what he was-high OF

Men who commence business should be
careful how they neglect their obligations,
and break their word. A person who is prompt
can always be accommodated, and is, s,therefore,
"lord over another mans purse" as Franklin
would say. Never make promises upon un-
certsinties. Although the best men may
sometimes fail to do as they would, the case is
exceedingly rare. He whois prompt to full
Gil his word will never make promise where
it is not next to moral certainty that he can
do as he agrees. If you would succeed, be
punctual to the hour. Return borrowed
money the moment you promised. In all
things, if you are thus prompt, we will risk
you through life;yo will sueceed-you can
not help it Those who are prompt in their
business affairs, are generally so in every de-
partment of life. You never know them to
be late at church, to the polls, or to pay the
printers for advertising. A promptness in
everything character;ses them. -
