We feel it our duty to call the attention
of those who have the supervision of the
road from Port Tobacco to Glymont to its
present condition. We lately passed over
this road in the stage, and i! was by the ex-
ercIse OF the greatest caution that the driver
was enabled to &c, along without upse,tiog
the vehicle and endangering the lives of the
passengers inside. We are aware tina, this
is not a good season for mending roads, bu.
it does seem TO US that there is no excuse
for suffering this road TO remain in The CON
di'ion it is in many places along its whole
line. ..-. .--.--.-.-

IMPORTANT FROM FRANCE.-The Balti
more Sun has received by the steamer Anne
rics, which arrived at Boston on Friday last,
the following important communication re-
speeding the progress of European affairs,
under the influences prevailing a. Paris:
notwithstanding the profound dissimu-
la,ion of Louis Napoleon and the three TO-
reign ambassadors whose influences pre-
vail in France, and the efforts which are
maintained TO conceal the treaty which are
making between them, have been able to
discover wha, has been decided upon hith-
erto. 1t has been agreed that Russia shall
extend her dominion into Turkey; Austria
into Piedmont; and Prussia into the canton
of Neufchatel. In the meantime, the CON-
bined fleets Of the respective parties are to
maintain such an attitude with respect to
England, as will prevent all interference
from that power. What is to be the reward
Of France does no. ye. appear, bu. Belgium
is the quarter towards which her ambition
tends. 49,.

SOUTHERN RIGHTs CONFERENCE.-THE
Southern Rights Convention, held at Mont
gomery, Ala, adjourned last Friday, after a
session of two days. series of resolu-
tions, embracing the usual generalilies, were
adopted without difficulty.
An animated and protracted discussion
arose on the 26lh resolution, which in sub.
stance was as follows:
"Resozred, That in consideration of the
fact that the people Of Alabama and of the
other States, had decided agains. resistance
to the Compromise measures, that the south
ern Rights party could no longer make that
an issue, blu. would guard the future"
This resolution was earnestly opposed as
dissolving the Georgia Platform, bu, was
supported by Messrs. Buford, Yancey, Ell
more, and others. A substitute slightly
modifying the language, but not altering its
meaning, was accepted and finally passed.
A resolution against the doctrine Of inter-
ven,ion was also adopted, and after some
unimpor,ant proceedings, the Convention
adjourned sine die.

A Woman's Desert.

The following Illustrative idea of what's
a desert in female mind is taken from
novel entitled ''Marriage:"
douglas saw the storm gathering on the
brow Of his capricious wife, and clasping her
in his arms he said:
care you indeed so changed, my Julia.
that you have forgot the time when you used
to declare you would prefer desert with
your Henry, to a throne with another?
"No, certainly, not changed: but-I-I
did not then know what desert was; or at
least | had formed rather different idea of
it."
"What was your idea of descrt?" said
her husband, laughing; edo tell me, love-"
ooh, had fancied it beautiful place,
full of roses and myrtles, and smooth green
turf, and murmuring rivulets, and though
very retired, not absolutely out of the world,
where one could occasionally see ones friends
and give parties and be free from the cares
of crying babies"

GEN. PIERCE.-The editor of the Boston
Transcript is personally acquainted with the
new President elect, and in recent article
assures his readers that Gen. Pierce will
make liberal and enlightened Chief Mag
istrate, and will be a less violent party man
than some have supposed; especially that
they who look to him for sanction of any
6llibustering operations, have entirely mis-
taken their man. We trust these assurances
may be confirmed by the course of his ad-
Misunderstanding.

How Gen. Pierce Received the News Of
His Election.

A letter from Concord, N. Fl. to the I'm.
ion says, the democrats of that place became
wild with delight on Tuesday night on re-
ceiving the news of the election of General
Pierce, and that the president elect was APP
parently the only sclfpossessed, calm and
quiet man in the place on that night. He
received the victorious bulletins announc-
ing his success with scarcely change Of
countenance, and soon after quietly retired
to bed. The letter adds:
His habits are plain and transformations.
His practice yields him large income; and
he is generous to fault. It is said in Con-
cord by those who know him we'll that he
will spend his presidential $4,000 every
year. The health of Mrs. Pierce is toe
feeble for housekeeping, and so, with their
only child, smart boy of dozen summers,
they board in the private family of W. vii.
liams, a respectable citizen engaged in the
extensive manufactory at this place of Goa.

From the Argus.
The Party at Col. McLaran's.
AdUerttSer.

On Thursday evening last Col. McLaran
gave his friends collation. at his magnif-
cent mansion which has just been completed
in this city, on which occasion We, with some
five hundred others, had the pleasure to be
present.
The residence we shall take time hereafter
in some future number to describe, for it is
the finest mansion perhaps in the State, and
a description will most probably interest the
greater portion of our readers The supper
was truly a gorgeous, magnificent and boun-
tiful one, such as we have seldom if ever
seen equalled and certainly never surpassed.
The tables were arranged with great taste
and decorated and filled too, with everything
that the palate could desire, an epicure sug-
gest or money procure-even such as the ep-
icures we read of in imperial Rome could
have relished; and such we suppose as they
were not often accustomed to.
The affair was brilliant one, and when
the dancing commenced the halls were filled
with such an array Of youth and beauty and
fashion, as has not often if ever, been gath.
cred together, anywhere in the gay and Sun
ny South.
" Soft eyes looked love to eyes that spake again
and bright the lamps shone
Der fair women and brave men,
"All went merry as a marriage bell, " fol
many joyous and feathery footed hours-al
most realising indeed the words of passions
greatest minstrel
/" No sleep till morn where youth and pleasure
meet
To chase the glowing hours with flying feetn
The supper was so bounteous that th'
large company scarcely consumed enough tt
change the appearance of the tables and th'
consequence was thatthe Colonel invited tn,
whole party to be with him again on the en-
suing night when once more, everything pass
ed off infinitely to the qualification and en-
ljoyment of all present.

A COOP SPEcULATIoN.-A short time
ago a young man, clerk in house in San
Francisco, having $4,000 to spare, sent it to
China, and invested it in rice. He sold the
cargo (to arrive) at twenty-five cents per
pound, and made the handsome sum of S37, ;
900 by the operation. The purchaser was
a Chinaman, and it SO happened that the
cargo arrived the very day after it was pur-
chased. The Chinaman made $4,000 on
his bargain. The large sum of 100000
therefore, was cleared on an investment Of
$4,000.
