THE GERMAN Press IN AMERIcA.-The
German press in this country seems to flour
ish rapidly. In Baltimore there are three or
four. In New York ley have -four or five. In
Philadelphia they have two, in st. Louis
three or four, and there is hardly aIge city
in the West, north of there, that has not one
or more.

THE CONGRESSIONAL DLL.--The Con-
gressional apportionment bill has passed both
houses of the General Assembly and is now
II law. Below we give the districts as fixed
by the bill on its final passage. This, the
81, district, embraces eleven counties, one
more than under the districting bill of Al-2,
Knox county being placed in the Cd district
and Blount and Monroe in the Sd. Accord
ing to the last Gubernatorial vote, this ar
rangement will make it rather close shaving
in our district, less than one hundred votes
covering the difference. But there will be
one advantage about it---when the vote is
likely to prove so close, neither party will be
troubled with multiplicity Of candidates.
First Distrct--Johnson, Carter, Sullivan,
Washington, Hawkins, Greene, Cooke, Jefer-
s,n, Hancock, and Sewer.
Second District--Grainger, Claiborne, Camp
bell, Scott Anderson, Knox, Morgan, Fen
1rcss and OvcrtOn.
Third Distrct--Blount, Monroe, Polk, Nc
MINI, Meigs, Rhea, Blcdsoe, Bradley, Hami-
ton. Marion, and Roane.
fOurth DlStrlct--JackSOn, macon, IcHlllH
DcKalb, White, Warren, Coffee, Grundy and
Van Buren,.
Fifth District--Sumner, Wilson, Ruther-
ford, Cannon, and Williamson.
Sixth District Franklin, Bedford, Mar
shall, Lincoln, and Maury.
Seventh Dstrict---Giles, Lawrence, Wayne,
Hardin, McNairy, Perry, Decatur, Benton,
Humphreys, Hickman and Lewis.
Eighth Decentralization, Robertson,
Montgomery, Stewart, and Dickson.
Ninth District--Henry, Weakley, Obion,
Dyer, Lauderdale, Upton, Gibson, Carroll
and Henderson.
Tenth Decentralization, Haywood, Harde
man, Fayette, and Shelby.

Political COMPLIMENTS. The editor of
the Detroit Free Press, Democratic Cass
journal, furnishes ''pen-portrau of the
editor of the Chicago Democrat, who is better
known as long John Wentworth, recently a
member of Congress from Illinois. The
Press says of the latter, among other things
eXceedingl personal:
'He has operated largely as editor on a
very small capital; and has been three times
sent to Congress, and thus kept away from
home, on the same principle that fallen angels
were expelled from Paradise. He has been
a lucky man, having received all his dues
from patrons and subscribers except being
hung; and this last debt he will surely get, on
the principle that justice is a cardinal feature
of Illinois policy. Heis political Ishmaete,
his hand is against every man, and every
mans hand is against him. We know of no
true Democrat who has been unfortunate
enough to receive his support; and no traitor
who has not been sunken still lower by his
plaudits. He feeds on sin, and proves how
congenial is the nutrimcnt by diurnal ennis
sions of rancor and spite against good men;
and among the number we are rejoiced to say
are the politicians of Michigan. He is a kind
of political scorpion, but his fancy tail is too
short to do mischief at this distance.

AN ITEM FOR SOUTHERN DEMocRATs--The
Abolition New Era, speaking of Mr.. Niehol-
sons speech in the Democratic State Con-
vention held in this State, and the comments
of the Washington Union, says:
The Union and Mr.. Nicholson know that it
is utterly impossible to elect a Democratic
candidate to the Presidency, except by the aid
of the Northern Democracy, twO-thirds of
which have constantly manifested Free Soil
sympathies, and yet turn away "in disgust
from any aspirant suspected Of Free Soil sym
pathies!''

REMARKABLY Discovery IN VIRGINIA.
A letter in the Richmond Times states that
a few days ago, while several men Were en-
gagged in blasting out limestone near Buchan-
an, Botettourt county, they discovered an
entrance Of some six or eight feet in height,
and upwards of one hundred long, with two
apartments. In the first they found some
earthern-ware, and large stone cross; on the
cross there was some carving, but it was so
much deiaced by the hand of time, that it
was scarcely discernble. A number of cit
zens, with lantern, subsequently entered the
second apartment, where they found skele-
ton, seated on huge iron chest, with its
back resting against thewall. On opening
the chest they found it to contain gold coin,
perfectly smooth on one side, and cross,
with some characters on it, on the other
The gold in the chest by weight is worth
seven hundred and eighty-three dollars

THE MAILs--There have been no paper
mails from South of Dalton since Monday,
and consequently we have had to make up
our inside form from just such materials as
we happened to have on hand We cannot
tell how it is, but it seems to us there Is no
particular necessity for repeated failures OF
the mails Just at this time, We are afraid
there is a littlemore attention paid to the spe-
cial convenience of mail contractors and post
masters than COMFORTS with a strict regard
for the public interest. five understand the
matter correctly, mail routes and post offices
are established for the convenience and ac-
commodaton of the people generally, and
ought to be so conducted as to serve the ends
for which they were created. 1t is made the
duty of the postmaster where failures occur
to report them promptly to the Department,
and it ought to be the duty of somebody to
report postmasters whenever they fail to dis
charge their duties in asserting, delivering
and sending forward the nails at the proper
time. This way that some postmasters have
of keeping portion Of the mails over day
or two because they are little pushed for
time, is not exactly the thing If they have
not force enough in their offices to assert the
mails in good time, they should employ more,
and if they are not willing to do that, the
sooner they get out or are put out of office,
the better it will be for the public interest.
We do not know where the fault lies, but the
repeated failures on the Southern line are
provoking beyond endurance.

n1y" The opposition presses appear to be
a good deal distressed in regard to the candl-
date whom the wings will offer for the Presi-
dency. Three individuals have been named
as prominent aspirants for the nomination
| Fillmore, Webster and Scotland each OF
these is receiving a very liberal share OF abuse,
especially the latter They charge him with
being an aboitiOnist, an imbecile, and almost
every thing else. They swear he is to be the
man, although all the indications at present
point to President Fillmore. But the oppo-
stion presses won't have it that way-Scott
seems to occupy their thoughts by day, and
to form the staple of their dreams at night
They evidently fear him a little, and the con-
sequence is they have commenced walking in
to him in a way that is quite nauseat-
ing to any one having the least regard for
fair dealing. Now we have not the remotest
idea that Gen. Scott will receive the nomina-
ton. but that it will be bestowed upon Mr.
Fillmore. We believe the wings owe it to
themselves and to the country to nominate
him, and we believe that he is the strongest
man they can bring forward, and that if nomi-
mated he will be elected, no matter who may
be put up against him. We think our friends
on the other side are little premature in
their conclusions on the subject of wing
nomination, and that in belaboring Gen. Scott
in advance of the assembling of the Conven-
ton, they are indulging in very extravaganza
waste of ammunition, which they had better
reserve, asst is barely possible they may need
it all before the canvass is over. They have
some ten or dozen aspirants on their own
side, and they might, perhaps, proftably en-
ploy themselves in preparing the way for a
reconciliation of the difficulties likely to
grow out of the claims of so many great
men. Should Gen. Scott receive the nominal
ton, it will then be quite time enough to
commence araking fire in the front and rear.

The silver Lining.

The darkest sky will have q sun,
The kcenest pain pleasure;
The thickest cloud oft hides star,
The widest wave treasure.
Then mourn not DER the departed hopes,
Nor sit with sad repining,
The darkest cloud within the sky
viii have silver lining.
Then mourn not DER departed hopes,
There1l dawn brighter day,
And smiles of purest jOyousness
Chase all your tears away.
Then watch the thick ming mist around
And mark the brilliant shining;
But pierce the dim and vap'ry veil,
You'll see the silver lining.
"Our Father" It's who sends your grief,
And though your tears fall fast,
'Ts He whose matchless mercy will
Deliver you at last
Cast all your cares upon your God,
And cease from vain repining;
For He who made the blacklist cloud
Made, too, the silver lining.

about two miles west of this city, was out in
one of the lots of her farm, giving some salt to
her sheep, her attention was attracted by
strange noise and following the direction indi-

explanation He says that he was engaged in
dragging in wheat,the afternoon previons, and at
dusk turned out his team started for his home,

The man then threw him across his shoulder
and carried him some distance, as he conjectures
through brush and woods, and finally fastened
him in the position where he was found, united

According to this version of the affair, the boy

Home Journal.

A correspondent of one of the Boston papers
in a letter from Cape Cod, narrates the follow
ing amusing story: IL may as well make of
little piece of romance that hovers pensivey
around gloomy old mansion here, to point a
moral to all good people who indulge in games.
Once upon time, there lived in that mansion
those two stereotype tools that all good novel;
lists do work with, viz, hard-hearted father
and pretty, love-sick daughter Now it hap
pened that the Governor had just two darling
passions-the first was an unconquerabe aver
sion to that pretty daughters lover, and the
other was just as decided pencham for the
game Of checkers. So, on stormy, gloomy,
snowy night, when the wind was bowling around
the old mansion, capping to the blinds and
screaming down the chimney-as good luck
would have it, young man happened in, who
came heraldod as passionately addicted to the
hosts favorite game. The Governor was in
ecstacy-so he gave the fire gentle STIR snuff
ed anew the candle, drew the table up bit
nearer the fire, and threw down the gauntlet to
his guest for a trial Of skill at checkers The
guest, nothing loath, accepted the challenge,
and at it they went. The gamesters were about
a match. Now, it was neck and neck-now the
host leads one, and now the guest leads one
and still they play on like mad, until, about the
witching time of night. a cry runs through the
house." eloped eloped~ Away went check
er-board and guest-away went master and
man. There was running and racing, but all
to no purpose. The lovers had got two drawn
games and one rubber the start"
