A BRAVE LITTLE Bor.-A fow nights
since, at the Potomac House, son Of J.
A. Thockmorton, Esq, aged nine years,
opened his mothers chamber door, while
she was at tea, and found large glass
lamp filed with gas cnyeloped in flames,
and on the point Of bursting. The top
having become unsoldered, the whole 10.
nited. He seized it and ran through the
halls, down one fight Of steps and up an.
other, to the door, whence he pitched IL
into the back yard-thus, perhaps, by his
presence of mind and determination, sa.
wing much valuable properly. The Pre-.
prietor Of the house and a man servant
saw him in his fight. with the flaming
gas covering his hands and clothes, and
called to him 10 throw it down but he
ran on, exclaiming mo, it will burn the
house down" The little fellow, / am.
glad to hear, was only slightly burned.

dately interested in Railroads, to the Circular to
the Presidents of Railroad Companies from the
committee of the meeting held in this city on the

the first Monday in January may act upon the
proposed modification of the laws regulating mail

PROSPECTUS OF THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH:
apnuxa

1t is alleged by their advocates that the late
measures, called Compromise, should be a salts
factory and final adjustment of the slavery ques-
tion. They cannot become SO otherwise than by
uniting and consolidating the South in support
Of their rights, and by harmonizing the conflict
ing sectional interests which have arrayed the
North against the South. M
The result of the late elections proves that the
South are attached to the Union, and wish to
harmonic with the North. To reconcile CON
hictng opinions, and secure concert and una
nimity, there must be mutual confidence and
goodwill. Thisis impossible, unless the sections
deal fairly and justly towards each other The
true end Of government is to protect persons and
property. In the South slaves are property, and
the South demand the peaceable and quiet pos
session of such property. Their right to hold
slaves as property is denied by the Abolitionists
Of the North, who, that they may more efficiently
control public opinion in that section, have or
ganized themselves into religious and political
combinations. They act through the press, the
pulpit and the ballot-box. Such an organization
in one section makes it indispensable that there
should be a counter organization in the other
because, if not resisted by such counter organiza-
tion, the inevitable consequence would be that
the Northern organization would absorb and
control tho entire public sentiment social, moral,
religious and political, of that section. The
purpose Of the Northern organization is to assail
the rights and interests Of the South the pur-
pose of the Southern organization should be to
protect the interests thus assailed.
Late events prove that the North are 50 deeply
interested npreserving their present political and
commercial relations to the South, that a power
full influential, and controlling party can be raj
Lied in that section who will unite with the South

Weekly at washington city.

in defence of their rights, if the South will itself
become united, and, when united, act in concert
with that Northern party who give the strongest
and most reliable guarantees to the South. Can
this be done We believe it can. To aid in doing
it, the g American Telegraph" viii take an active
part in the next Presidential election. 1t win
urge the South to unite upon the republican basis
of '98 and TO send, in good faith, full and able
representation to the Baltimore Convention, un-
der belief that the Democracy of the North
will unite with them in the nomination of candi-
dates entitled to their confidence and support;
and who, if elected, will exert the power and in
fuence of the federal government to protect the
rights and property of the South.
That the people may act understandingly, we
invite full and candid investigation of the merits
and qualifications of those who may be presented
as candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presi-
dency. AS the nominations if properly made,
will receive the support Of the republican party,
this examination Of the merits of candidates
must be made before the meeting Of the conven-
ton; and that the sTelegraph may give more
efficient aid in that discussion, VIC propose to
issue aweekly supor-royal sheet, in quarto, at
the reduced price of one dollar per annum. This
weekly paper will become q valuable book Of ref

The Designs of Napoleon.

In letter published in the !" London News"
Immediately after his escape from Paris, Louis
Blanc declares the following to be the purposes
Of Louis Napoleon and the absolute monarchs of
Europe:
''To divide Europe into three great empires
a Russian empire extending to Constantinople
Austrian empire, with the defnitive annexa-
ton of Italy French empire with the addition
of Belgium. From this new holy alliance between
three great despotic empires TO cause to arise
war to the death against the Democratic party,
and against the Liberal and Constitutional party;
to extinguish beneath the armies, tread out, what
the absolutsts call the revolutionary fame-that
is to say, whatever lights the human spirit the
way Of progress, and if England resists to crush
her. Such is the plan--(who can doubt
it longer ?)-such is the sacrilegious plan Of
which the sack of Paris is the commencement,
and for the accomplishment of which Louis Bo-
naparte has delivered France into the hands Of
French Cossacks."
