Every bitter has its sweet. Poverty brings
appetite, while hard word makes you sleep
and snore like a humming-top. If you live
on cold potatoes, just recollcct that cold po-
tatoes are no way related to the gout If an
acquaintance cut you merely because you
have fallen from purple to corduroy, don't get
in a passion about the nin-compoCp, but re-
turn thanks that the number of asses you are
compelled to nod to, has reduced by one.

GEN. SCOTT IN PRIVATE LIFE.-A friend
writes us letter from Washington, from
which we take the following account of the
character and bearing of the Peoples candi.
date for President:
an his personal intercourse, he is the most
easy and agreeable man in the world. He
makes no distinction of persons = Senators
farmers, Generals, children and all fare alike al
his hands. The moment you hear his voice
and catch the kind and gentle expression OF
his gray eye, you dismiss every thought Of
embarrassment and enter at once into conver-
sation, as with an old and familiar friend. In
crowd of ten thousand men, every eye
would turn instnctively to him as so many
magnetic needles to the pole. OF all Amer
lean Generals, living or dead, he is undoubt-
edly the greatest, while those who know
him believe in their hearts that in all the
qualities of great, generous and good man,
he is second to no other He is entirely ma
tional in all his views, and very far above that
bitterness of party feeling which so general
ly characterizes those who are only states
men. He is not, and never has been, pro-
scriptive, as thousands of brave Democrats
who have shared with him the rude comforts
of the camp and the dangers and sufferings
of the battlefield will testify. C. B. A.

BRISK SALEs.-A young man, T. w. Don-
aldson, writing to the GAINESVILLE Aurora,
from California, says:
"Women are in more demand here, let me
say, than anything else, and there are great
many arriving here every day from Sidney
the place where the English send their con-
victs : and from Chill, and other countries =
You don't have to get priest or preacher
to marry you in this country. If you want
wife, all you have to do is to go on board a
vessel that has just arrived from Sideny or
Chill, and buy yourself one. Women sell
from five hundred to as high as ten thousand
dollars piece. If good looking young la
dy was-to come to this country, have no
doubt but that she might gctas high as twenty
or thirty thousand dollars for herself. There

distance of us, and she had ninety three wo-
men on board of her! To-day, at II o'clock,
there was but one left, and she was about Sc
venty years of age.

NAVAL ANEcDorE. There are many Incl
dents in the early naval history of our coun-
try worth preserving, among which is the fol-
lowing anecdote Of the heroic Tngev When
he commanded the Gangcs in 1899, being off
Cape Nicola Mole, he was boarded by boat
from the English frigate Surprise, and all the
Englishmen on board were demanded, and
also permission to examine the projections of
the American seamen. Captain Tngey re-
turned the following manly and noble an.
swer "A public ship carries no protection for
her men but her hag. do not expect to sue
ceed in contest with you; but will die at
my quarters before man shall be taken from
the ship" Thecrew gave three hearty cheers,
FASTENED with aacrity to their quarters, and
called for Yankee Doodle. The Captain Of
the Surprise on hearing of the determination
of the Yankees, chose rather to pursue his
course than 10 do battle for dead men.

Senator SoUle.

We believe that committee appointed by Con-
gress is now sitting to conduct an inquiry into
certain Mexican claims, with the view OF bring
ing to light frauds that are alleged to have been
committed on the Government of the United
States. The trauds--real or supposed-consist in
having received money from the Government
without having rendered consideration for it, or
without having experienced the losses which, un-
der the Mexican commission, entitled the claim
ants to it.
OF this committee Senator SoULE is the chair
man, and in that capacity he is expected to take
full share OF the labor necessary to detect the
imputed frauds. For the performance OF this duty
he is believed to be in the receipt OF eight dollars
per day.
Senator Soule has duties to discharge in another
capacity. He is engaged in attending Democratic
meetings at the North and, in unison with John
Van Buren,, is making speeches in favor OF Gen.
PIERCE.
We desire to be enlightened on the three points
connected with these facts
First. Can Mr. Soule reconcile with his sense OF
duty to the country his abandonment of the post
to which his Senatorial colleagues elevated him,
no doubt in consequence of his supposed illness
for the task to be performed!
Second. Is Mr.. Soule entitled to his Senatorial
pay of eight dollars per diem while he is travelling
through the country an eIectioneering tours
Third. Stspposing Mr. Souie to receive eight
dollars per day Tor work which he does not per-
form, is he proper gentleman to present report
on frauds perpetrated upon the public treasury!
We ask for information Republic.

The n. H. Patriot was down upon the national
democrats of Massachusetts last week in long
and labored article, because said democrats We're
opposed to forming coalition with the treesoii
party IN their last convention. 1t must be very
pleasing to the southern supporters of Gen. Pierce
TO hear the winning OF his organ because portion
of the party We're opposed to union with the
ireeSollerS-to hear the Patriot advocating Goa
ltlon. after denying the fact that the General said
he 'loathed the fugitive slave law and charging
Gen. Scott with being the candidate of the free
soil party. They cannot help showing the cloven
foot. Who can be longer IN doubt which of the
two, Scott or Pierce is the candidate of the free
soilerS when they hear the whining of the Patriot
as TO the proceedings OF the national Democrats of
Massachusetts? Concord ~. H Statesman.
The New Hampshire Patriot, here spoken Of
is published IN Gen. Plerces own town. and it is
his home organ, employed on all occasions to
speak for Him and Of him by authority About a
hundred and fifty of tae two thousand members
OF the late Locoioco State convention of Massa-
chusetts objected to the coalition between the
Democrats and the aboitionsts, and this home
organ of Gen. Pierce abuses the hundred and fifty
for their refusal to unite in the infamous arrange
ment. Yes, the especial mouth-plece OF General
Pierce, Published daily within few steps of his
very door, is angry, and G ives expression to its
anger because about fifteenth OF the mem bers
of the Democratic convention of Massachusetts,
recoiied from the disgrace of coalition, an alli-
ance, an amagamation with the Freesoilers in the
approaching elections-recoiled from Joining with
the overwhelming majority OF the Democratic
convention. the eighteen hundred and fifty, in the
nomination of candidates for Congress &c, pledg-
ed TO do all iii their power to procure the repeal
of the fugitive slave law and in the mean time to
make forcible resistance to its execution
And while the Democrats of Massachusetts
thus amalganate with the abolitonsts. and, while
Gen. Plerce's immediate organ thus rebukes the
lnconsiderable few who decline participating in
the rnalgamation, there is not so far as have
observed, solitary Democratic paper in all the
South that utters one word in condemnation oi
the amalgamatiOn even speaks of it except to
attempt to justify it! All the Locofoco papers OF
the Soath justify the Democratic and Frcesoil
arnaiganation in Massachusetts all OF them ;usti-
ty the Democratic and Freesoil amaSauaticn in
New York, all OF thein Justify the Democratic and
FreeSoil amaigamation in Ohio, and all OF them
viii justify every Democrat and Freesoil amaga-
nation that may be entered into hereafter no
matter what may be its terms.
We do think that the mpudence Of the South,
ern Democratic presses In charging, under al
these circumstances that the Northern Wing par
ty is the Freesoi party and that Gen Scott is the
Freesoil candidate goes about fifty thousand miles
beyond any other specimen of human or devilish
impudence we ever heard OF in all our lives.

The Columbus Argus Wing paper published
at Columbus in the State Of Mississippi g,veS the
following view OF the prospects OF the election in
that State:
Probably our Whig friends abroad woud like
to know something of the political feeling in this
State. We can tell them that our prospects here
are brighter than they have ever been before, and
that, if General SCoTr does not carry the State,
our party need never nope to do so at any future
time. There probably State in the Union
mwhich there is more disatiection in the Demo-
cratic party thar this and the party has idea to
what extent this disatlection prevails
We have been publishing paper here one
month, and our subscription list numbers nearly
one thousand subscribers. Within the month
about seventy-five or one hundred Democrats have
subscribed, at least one third of whom have told
Us that they intended to vote for Scott another
third that they do not intend to vote for either
candidate: and some among the remaining third
Were undecided This is the feeling that exists
In this section of Mississippi. They may deny it
Who will, but 1t is So and the I'd day of November
will make an exhibit to substantiate what we
say The Wings have only TO go to work earn
eStly, zealously, and prudently and Mississippi is
