"Hards. and "softs., of 1850.

Our exchanges are full of hits at the
nicknames of New York politicians, and
one editor thinks the ''Dames Of hard and
soft most ridiculous and unclassical" Not
% unclassical either, friend. These names
were in popular and powerful vogue in
Switzerland as long ago as 1850 During
the instruction of the noble peasantry Of
Berne, Lucerne, Soleurc. and Basle against
tie expressions and extortions of the land
vocts, two powerful political parties arose
which we're designated BY these very titles
of hard and "soft" The peasants be-
siered the castles Of the land-vogts, sent
commissioners to the Government Of Berne.
and made most powerful resistance to the
tyrannous encroachments on popular liberty.
These noble peasants were called the 'hards,'
in distinction from those who adhered to
the cause of the oppressors, who were nick
named .softs' The unconquerable 'hards'
exasperated at the treachery of the "softs."
caught some Of them and cut off their
ears. III the district Of Basle. one of the
"softs' had his ear cut off and placed in
his hand with the remark that he was now
indeed an ear-bearer. (tale-bearer) The
heads of others of these ''softs" were held
close to grind stones, which were then set
in motion, so that the hair and scalp came
off together, in order, as it was said. 10

rcsisiablc lizards" Of the Peasant War Of
Switzerland in 1850.
Let the lesson Of those old 'hards' speak
to the corruption Of our present times

"A New Orleans contemporary makes the
following remarks concerning the Howard
Association, the subscriptions in aid ofwhich
still continue all over the country:
We find on inquiry among the members
of this association, that they have already
administered TO over five thousand of the
sick and destitute and that the cases now
under treatment amount to about two thou
sand more. Those cases have been treated
at an average expense Of fifteen dollars each.
making the sum total expended for medical
attendance and treatment alone, amount to
$4,000 They have also expended over
$4,000 in groceries and other necessaries
of life. given to the convalescent and those
rendered helpless by the sickness of them
selves or their families, and this expendi-
ture is still going on.
Our present information from members
Of the association i. that they extend relief
to all who are sick, or who. from causes con-
nected with the epidemic, have bcon rem
dcrcd destitute.

charge, who are taken care Of at it, expense.
Its disbursements now, for the assistance of
those who are convalescing. or who have
been made destitute BY the causes above
stated, are no. less than $500 per day

INGENIOUS ESCAPE OF PRISONER.
James Dunn. a convict at Sing Sing, New
York. on Friday last effected ms escape from
that institution in very ingenious manner.
Procuring some strips of India rubber, he
made an alright tube some six feet long. to
the end of which he attached bag Of the
same material. shaped like a Duck. Mana
ging to eludc his keepers. he come to the
river. where he threw off and secrcted his
clothing, and with his new Tifc-preserver
plunged in. and when at the bottom kept
one end Of the tube in his mouth, the bag
meanwhile floating on the surface and sup
plying him vita air In this way be passed
the prison docks, and proceeded about half
a mile down the stream to Colycr's dock.
when, his pipe giving way. he was forced to
swim ashore, where he met a crowd Of
people, and informed them that some one
had stolen his clothes, and left them in pur-
suit Of the thief. which was the last that
has been heard of him. He was twenty
years of age, had served one term oe contine-
ment, and was at the time of escape under
sentence for life.

Reservation Extended.

We learn from an Arkansas Wing, Ex-
ira, of the 18th inst, that a photographic
dispatch was that day received by the Gov
ernor from JOHN WILSON, ESQ. Commis-
sioner of the General Land Office at WASH
ton, stating that the reservation of lands on
the line of the Cairo and Fulton road and
branches would be extended six months
from the 9th of October next-reserying
to claimants the right to prove up their pre-
emptions on the alternate sections of land. !"
This news, though most decidedly unex-
pected, is truly gratifying. Arkansas, we
may still rest assured, is a favorite of the gen.
eral government. They do more for us at
Washington than we do for ourselves. This
second reservation has given the authorities
ofthe State ample time to carry out their own
plan of completing the proposed survey, and
removed all chance of excuse for further delay.
Ofcourse there has beer plenty of time and
opportunity for the survey to have been made,
the session called, and everything fixed
straight up and down, long ere this but
hoping for the turning of new leaf by our
Governor, we will let by-goncs be by-gones
We will say nothing about the asinine dis
position displayed by his Excellency the utter
want of regard for the welfare of the people
to owhom he made Young American promises
before the election. We will bury the remem-
brance of our wrongs and write upon the vel
low pine board which we intend to erect over
the grave, "Requiescat IN pace melior tenn
pus remit" s
We are now just where we started nearly
six months ago; and six months hereafter we
will be still anstirred unless there are more
shoulders to the wheel, and the driver is
bought over.
1--WE are likewise informed says the
Wing, 'that the Cairo and Fulton Company
has raised sufficient funds to complete the
survey. and that the President has engaged
an able and experienced engineer to make
it
We hope, and indeed expect, that Ar

South West Indepenaent.
The above notice meets our entire appro-
baton. BY this means, the expense, about
which SO many of the Governors strong,
true-hcarted friends make such hubbub
will be greatly obviated. Several papers
already taken hold of the idea, but unless
the people come to their assistance they can
do nothing. We want the Railroad we
all want it and to satisfy this want we MUST
have the Legislature convened
There will most probably be some diff
Guilty in getting all the Legislators to as

generally remunerated, but we feel certain
that great majority of that honorable body
serve the commonwealth, not for the pay
but for the public good.

broiling sun, and had lain there since the
Thursday previous.
Some eases of cholera have made their
appearance at Flensburg and Sanderburg,
and also in Denmark, but the person attack
