WoMAN's RIGHTs.--Bayard Taylor, one
of the Associate Editors of the New York
Tribune, is travelling on the upper waters
Of the Nile, nearly in the heart of Central
Africa. He gives the following descrip-
lion Oft strange custom:
The Hasseniyehs are yellow, with
straight features, and resemble the Fellahs
of Lower Egyp, more than any other Cen
trail African tribe. Those whom we saw

while in khaTtoum, some singular customs
of these Arabs. The rights of woman, it
appears, are recognized among them more
thoroughly than among any other savage
people in the world. When woman is
married, Ler father reserves one-tourth OF
her life ihenceforth for her own use, and
the nd is obliged TO respect this reser-
vation. Every fourth day she is released
from the marriage vow, and if she loves
some one else better than her husband, he
can dwell in her tent that day, obliging
the husband himself to retire. Their hos
lpitality is ouch, moreover, that if stran-

wife. They should add a family of chill
dren, and then their hospitality would be
complete. No reproach whatever attach.

porary connection. The Hasseniyehs, in
other respects, are not more immoral than
other tribes, and these customs appear te
be connected in some way with thsir rslig

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 " American Telegraph" will take an active
part in the next Presidential election. 1t will
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 conyen-
ton; and that the Telegraph may give more
efficient aid in that discussion, we propose to
issue weekly super-royal sheet, in quarto, at
the reduced price Of one dollar per annum. This
weekly paper will become q valuable book of ref
erence, containing the facts and arguments re-
lating to the Presidential election and much other
political and general intelligence, with carefully
prepared index.
Postmasters and republican committees are re-
quested to act as agents.

contracts will be made by board appointed for
that purpose, and that no contracts will be given
unless that board be fully satisfied that mail SER
vice adequate to the payments will be amply Sc
cured to the United States.
We desire to obtain the views of your company
upon these and all other matters of detail, and
respectfully ask of you to furnish us such statis
tics as will enable us to submit to the convention
and to Congress statement showing the COM
parative increase or diminution, as the case may
be, of the mail service performed by your com
pany-the past, and probable future increase of
the weight of mails carried over the route Of
your road. And in this connexion we wish to
learn what, in your opinion, will be the probable
increased weight of the mails, if newspapers and
periodicals are sent free of postage
We wish you also to state what is the present
current price of your shares, what rate of diyi-
dend does your company now pay, and what divi-
dend could you pay under contract such as we
propose.
The committee venture to invite the co-opera-
ton of the railroad convention to be held in New
Orleans on the first Monday of January, and that
the newspapers in the South and West will urge
upon all those who are interested in railroads or
in the extension Of the system favorable con-
sideration Of the measure proposed, and the ne
cessity of prompt and efficient cooperation. In

1t is alleged by their advocates that the late
measures, called Compromise, should be 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.
The result Of the late elections proves that the
South are attached to the Union, and wish to
harmonize with the North. To reconcile con-
ficting opinions, and secure concert and una
nimity, there must be mutual confidence and
goodwill This is 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 counter organization in the other /;
because, if not resisted by such counter organza-
ton, the inevitable consequence would be that
the Northern organization would absorb and
control the 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 tho Southern organization should be to
protect the interests thus assailed.
Late events prove that the North are so deeply
interested in preserving their present political and
commercial relations to the South, that power
full influential, and controlling party can be raj
lied in that section, who will unite with the South

LINES by THE REV. EDWARD @. JONES, A. NJ.
When at eve my children gather III
Round the lowly ingle side,
whispering to my spirit" Father,
In thy love we each confide;"
While press them to my bosom,
In an overflow Of joy,
How miss that stricken blossom
Him who was the only boy.
Often win they talk of Brother
Even she who knew him not;
For think that for another
lie should never be forgot;
And love to link their feelings
With the kindred one away,
Though the thought will oft be stealing
That dear form is nought but clay
Still bow in bland submission
Ever grateful try to be-
One is not--but, blest condition!
Providence has left me three.
80 I'll press them 10 my bosom,
In an overflow Of joy
Heaven has gained my cherished blossom
Gods is now my only boy.

How TO LAY UP MONEY FOR RAINY DAY.
A number of years ago, Charles and Clara
S were married in the city of New York.
Charles was wealthy and in good business
very comfortable circumstances for q young
man, which tended, of course, to develop his
naturally liberal disposition. Feeling thus
happy and independentof the worlds frowns,
he proposed to his youthful bride, one day
during the honeymoon, to give her five thou
sand dollars for every "scion Of his house" /"
which should be engrafted upon the family
tree-an arrangement, as may be supposed to
which the lovely Clara made not the slightest
objection. Time passed on-Charles faithfully
performing his agreement and making no in
quiries as to the disposition of her money by
his better-half until they had been married
some ten years. Fortune, which had smiled
with constancy, suddenly turned her back, and
left him apparently high and dry among the
breakers of Wall street When the crisis had
arrived he went home with heavy heart, to
announce the sad news to his wife, that he was
an irretrievably ruined man-that his property
had all gone to satisfy his creditors, and moth
ing was left.
!" Not exactly so bad as that my DEAR" said
Clara. "Wait a moment and see what have
been DOING Thus saying, she ran up stairs,
and soon returned with a deed, in her. own
name of one-half of an elegant block of houses
in the neighborhood, worth thirty thousand
dollars. "You see have been industrious" I"
continued she, and have laid up something
for rainy day If you had been as smart as
your Brother, we might have had the whole
block by this time !n-Kennebec Journal.
| CANvAss-BAcK Ducks IN ENGLAND-The
editor Of the Albany Journal in late letter
from London, says:
II was quite fortunate in the canvass-back
ducks that brought over for some friends.
Four brace went to the American Minister,
three brace to Mr.. George Peabody three brace
to Joseph Parkes, Esq, and three brace to Mr..
Steele, of Manchester. Mr.. Lawrence divided
with the Duke of Wellington; Mr.. Peabody
sent some to Mr.. Sturges, of the house of Bar
ing, Brothers & Co.; and Mr.. Parks divided
with other friends Mr.. Lawrence tells me
that he never eat them in finer order even IN
Washington. The Duke was delighted with
this specimen of Yankee game. partook OF
them myself at the hospitable tables OF Mr..
Peabody (the American Merchant Prince J
and of Mr.. Parkes and certainly never eat
finer ones at the Astor House, or at Barnum's.
Ducks therefore, shot in the Chesapeake Bay
on the 21st day of November, were, on the 18th
December gracing the best tables in London,
having travelled three thousand six hundred
miles So much for steam and ice"
