A LARGE PANTuER.-All the war
minis have not left our mountains, as
any one that will call at Hale and Van
dervort's Hat Store may discover. A
stuffed panther skin that may there be
seen would convince a person that close
quarters, with such an antagonist, could not
be the most desirable position in the
world. He was shot on the Cheat noun
tain, by Ellis Houchen, (who we notice,
made capital shot in the eye, to save
his beauty on Saturday, the Goth of
Feb, where he was purchased by E. B.
Tyler. This animal measured, when shot,
ten feet four inches from its nose to the
end ofits tall Weston Sentinel.

RoBBERy.-We copy from the Balti-
more Sun the following telegraphic de-
spatch, dated Philadelphia, March 9th
S. G, Ellis, merchant of Parkersburg,
Va, this morning discovered that he had
been robbed of $500, contained in his
watch fob, which had been cut out. He
arrived last evening in the western train,
and put up at the Merchants Hotel,
where he put his pantaloons under his
pillow, for the safe keeping of his funds,
without, however, examining as TO their
safety, and on Weakening this morning
first discovered his loss. Various cir
cumstances lead TO the belief that he was
robbed in the cars. Four persons of re-
spectability roomed with him at the hotel
and their clothing and the contents of
their pockets were not disturbed, though
lying exposed. His funds were in Vir-
ginia money, principally in $2o's of the
State Bank.

Liberty in France.

"a C1SoINSATiAN IAiPRIsoNED. - The Bal
timore Sun publishes an extract from a
letter in its possession from an authentic
and distinguished source, written the
other day in Paris, which is submitted in
illustration of the police operations of the
French capital, and the perfdy of NAPo-
LION.
Never was the French nation more
cruelty deceived than in the election OF
Louis Napoleon to the Presidency. Many
of our friends have been recalled to
France, and number of superior officers
have received letters, under the seal of
the President, inviting them to return.
Among others are General Morant, Jules
Sefontsine, Col. Marnee, De la Notes,
and Post Captain Vaissux, who came from
England, and Monsieur John Napoleon
zermann, from Cincinnati in the United
States. Mr.. hermann had long inter-
view with the President upon arriving in
Paris, and Immediately upon leaving the
palace was arrested and thrown into prls-
on. Mr.. 2. had with him, at the time Of
his arrest, number of letters, among
which was one of recommendation to the
house of Mr.. Varenne, given him by NJ
De NorcGns. Also, leave OF absence
from the President of benevolent socl-
ETY., in Cincinnati The last letter was
made the basis of an accusation against
him, as being a member of secret soci-
ETY. connected with other societies in Eu-
rope. but more particularly in Paris"
Immediately upon NJ. Varenne re-
ceived intelligence of the condition of NJ,
hermann, he went to the project of police,
and requested to see his friend, but was
told by the project that he did not know
such man, and he could give him no in
formation, NJ, Varennc was indignant at
such arbitrary conduct, and went immedi-
ately to several of the journals, and re-
qucsted that they would make public the
infamous conduct of the government; but,
from the unfortunate condition of the press
no one of them would dare insert the
article On the same evening, at 8 O.
clock, NJ. Varenne was arrested and car
riod to the project of police"

NoRWAY AND SwEEDxN--A Religious
ReVOlution.-In FinmarGk, which is the
rcmotest northern region of Norway, al
most lost in Arctic SHOWS, revolution IS
now raging, which, although purely reIi-
gious, is attended with all the disastrous
circumstances Of political troubles. The
inhabitants of this desolate region, pcrsua-
ded by Missionaries of some sect whose
tenets have not TRANSFERRED, have repudia-
ted Christianity, and especially the sew
enth commandment, banished the priests,
and now adopt the Missionaries, who pro-
TESS to have received them directly from
Heaven.
The Bishop Of Drohtheim, in whose d.
Geese Finmarck is situated, Immediately
upon receipt ofthe intelligence, despatch
cd two Of lis clergy to the scene of the
excitement, who were instructed TO show
the inhabitants into what errors they had
fallen. These gentlemen arrived, and
found that the report was less startling
than the actual state of things. Univer-
sal detection reigned in Finmarck, labor
was abandoned, the churches were deser-
ted and the pastors driven away. In the
streets and in the houses, men women and
children lay upon the ground, with their
garments torn, their heads strewn with
ashes and bitterly lamening that until
then they had lived in false faith, igno-
ring the true God and meriting eternal
suffering, The ecclesiastics despatched
by the Bishop, informed him that the fla
naticism was so obstinate and the confu-
sion SO profound and universal that they
saw no other means of preserving the
peace Of the country and saving the in
habitants from their own fury, than the
Intervention of the military power. In
consequence of these representations, the
Governor Of Drohtheim has despatched a
high officer Of police and an armed force
to Finmarck. The result of the move
ment is not yet known.

THE GREAT GAINES CAsE.-This great
case, involving such an immense amount
of property in the South, has been deci-
we'd against Mrs. Gaines. She COM
menced the prosecution of the claim as the
daughtes of Daniel Clarke, for his real
estate, about nineteen years ago, when
she was Mrs. Whitney. Subsequently
she married Gen. Gaines, who espoused
her cause as well as her, and devoted
his fortune to its promotion. General
Gaines expended in the suit the proceeds
of two estates which he owned-one at
Louisville; and the other in Tennessee
which he sold for about 100000. He
also expended his pay and emoluments,
amounting to about $4,000 a year
Some of Mrs. Gaines friends have also
advanced considerable sums in her aid
being confident that her title was clear,
and would be established.

The Rspube Of yesterday states that the Webster and
Jenkins electoral ticket has been withdrawn in Georgia
by the executive committee of the convention which
formed il Upon this statement the Republic affects to
think that the Scott stock in Georgia, heretofore the
aaites political security known to modern history now
looking up.
The truth is, that the two wing tickets-the Scott and
Graham ticket and The Webster and Jenkins tcket-are
both still in the field and both without the least hope OF
success.
1t is the Union democratic Pierce and King ticket
which has been Withdrawn, leaving the other demo-
