We are happy to hear from the St. Louis

who returned some time since to Missouri, has
wonderfully improved within the last two or

that the man was not guilty OF the crime for which
he sentenced.
Mr. CARTIER had no more to say than this
that if he was the Executive of a free State, he
and would bargain no more for the demand Of a
slave than for a horse Federal officers exist in
sufficient numbers to carry out the law, without
calling in the aid Of the Governor.

the heavens fall, he should go right straight along
with this object in view. If proposition should be
made to repeal it, he would vote against it, and
this he believed to be the disposition and sentiment
OF ninety nine out Of every hundred Of the people
of the free States.
The committee then rose, when the bill making
appropriations for invalid and other pensions, and

navy pensions, for the year ending June 80, 1853,

The WING. of Florida.

From correspondent Of the New York E1-
press we learn that large and enthusiastic
meeting of the Wings of several counties as
sembled at the court house in Jacksonville,
Florida, on the 18th instant. over which Gene
raj EDWARD HOPKINS presided, with Mr. f..
Z. BARRETT as secretary. The utmost enthu
siasm and unanimity of feeling pervaded the as
semblage. Resolutions declaring the inality
of the Compromise measures, endorsing the
Administration of President FILLMORE, against
intervention in foreign affairs, in favor of ju
dicious tariff and river and harbor appropria-
tons, and approving the course pursued by the
Senator and Representative in Congress from
Florida, who withdrew from the recent Con-
gressonal caucus, were adopted unanimously
amidst great enthusiasm.
Colonel JAMES w. BRyANT was selected as
delegate from Duyal county to the National
Wing Convention, together with General j.
nj. HERNAsDEz of ST. Johns county, General
JOHN ScorT of Marion county, and j. M. BA
KER of Columbia county, which completes the
delegation from East Florida. Hon. JACKSON
MORTON and Hon. f. G. CABELL were pro-
posed as delegates for the State at large.
A resolution was also passed instructing these
delegates to cast their vote in convention for
WILLARD FILLMORE as the first choice of the
Wings of Florida for the Presidency, and to
vote for no other candidate who does not occu-
Ply an nleqmuocal position on the Compromise
A State Convention was also recommended
to be held at Tallahassee on the LIST of July to
receive the report of the delegates to the Ma
tional Convention, and nominate candidates for
Governor, member Of Congress-, and Presiden-
tial electors. Delegates were appointed to
the State Convention, consisting of Col. S. b.
THOMPSON, J. C. HEMMING, and others.
Spirited addresses were made by Col. j. p.
SAspERsos, DR.. II. ID. HOLLAND, j. MGR.
BAKER, esq, and DR.. A. S. BALDWIN, which
elected rounds of applause, and infused into all
present the old Wing spirit of IA and '4s.
The name Of FILLMORE was received with as
apparent degree of enthusiasm as was that of
CLAY in days Of yore.

and demanded admission They were at first
refused, but the stewards at length consented to
allow them to enter, provided they would Law
aside their swords. The soldiers declared thew
would not do so, and went away in anger. Pre-
sently they returned with several of their COM
rades; each had a drawn sword in his hand
The door was closed they broke it open; but
the workmen being more numerous expelled
them. lrritated at their defeat, the soldiers be-
gan to attack everybody who passed. A police
patrol arrived and ordered them to dispersc.
They refused; conflict ensued and three of
the policemen were mortally wounded.
Shortly after between 100 and $50 soldiers
from the barracks in Silver street rushed about
the streets armed with swords, and struck every
one they met, shouting as they did so. down
with the citizens! Hurrah for the soldiers
Some of them even attempted to force their way
into the houses. After a while detachment Of
cavalry and artillery arrived, and the ringeaders
were arrested. The. next day the soldiers and
non-commissioned officers were confined to their
barracks, and an order was issued that hence
forth soldiers and non-commissioned officers shall
not appear in arms except when on duty. The
number of persons wounded in the outbreak was
35, and Of killed 6, one of the latter being

PRIVATE CHARACTER OF LOCOMOTIVE
People who may see locomotive tearing up and
down the land, at gait of forty miles an, hour
making the very earth groan beneath its giant
tread, and the heavens themselves reyerberate
with its fearful clatter-scaring nature with its
unearthy din, and frightening all creation from
its proprety almost-people who only see it in
terrible activity, have no idea what eminently
social virtues it is endowed with. This is their
public character Their private one is another
affair. Now and then one of these huge mon
sters, in whose iron bowels slumber more than a
thousand giant powers, comes up and stands un-
der our window, as gently as the most exempla-
ry cooking stove, its huge steam pipes singing
strain as soft and rs dulcet as that most amiable
tea kettle, and its lungs of steel breathing as
sweetly as an infant in its sumbers Let him
sripe those iron hands, and the pipes which were
tuned to so soft a strain, send forth yell as if
heaven and earth were coming together, and
those lungs, which first breathed so quietly,
cough like volcanoe- and off it goes darkening
the heavens with its dense volume Of smoke.

COOP HUSBANDS MAKE COOP W1vEs.-There
is something very lovely ir seeing woman over
come those little domestic disquiets which every
mistress Of a family has to contend With, sitting
down to her breakfast-Lable in the morning with
cheerful countenonce, and endeavoring to pro-
mote innocent and pleasant conversation among
her little circle. But vain will be her amiab!e
efforts at pleasure, unless she is assisted by heT
husband and other members around, and truly
it is an unpleasant sight to see family, when
collected together, instead of cnlivening the quiet
scene with little good humored chat, sitting
like statues as if each is unworthy the attention
of the other. And then, when stranger comes
in, O dear! such smiles, and animation and To-
quacity. An ingenious writer says, ''ifa painter
wished to draw the finest object in the world, it
would be the picture of a wife, with eyes express

sweet babe, who stands at her knee listening to

GUARD AGAINST VULGARlT-We would
guard the young against the Use Of every word
that is not perfectly proper. Use no profane ex-
prcssions--allude to no sentence that will put
to blush the most sensitive. You know not the
tendency of habtually using indecent and pro
fame language. 1t may never be obliterated
from your heart. When YOU grow up, will find
at your tongues end some expression which you
would not use for any money. 1t was one
learned when you were quite young by being
careful, you will save yourself great deal of
modification and sorrow. Good men have been
taken sick, and became dcrious. In these mo-
mcnts they have used the most vile and indecent
language imaginable. When informed Of it,
after restoration to health, they had no idea Of
the pain they had given their friends, and stated
they had learned and repeated the expressions in
childhood: and though years had passed since
they had spoken bad word, they had been in
dcbIy stamped upon the heart. Think Of this,
yc who are tempted to Use improper language,
and never disgrace yourselves.
