"a Personal NATTER

In the editorial correspondence Of the Dubu-
cue Herald under date Of The 18th inst. Mr. Mae
hony puts forth pittiful whine, about some re-
marks made by Mr. Anderson in relation to the
character OF the Dubuque s.Herald and Demo-
crat" Mr. Nj. msstates the facts in relation to
this matter and it is proper that we should set
it right, although we understand that Mr. Ander
son re CARDS it as beneath his notice. Mr.. M en-
dcayors to convey the impression that The Her
aid was the journal selected to publish the law,
when such was not the fact. When the bull Tor
reor ganlzing the judicial Districts of the state
was under nsid.raliou, MIR Townsend moved
to strike out Miners Express and insert Hubu-
que Herald Mr.. Anderson then rose in his
place and bjecled on the ground, that 1t was
customary to patronize the papers Of one or the
other parties and claimed that the Herald was a
bogus belor rins to raither party and was es-
sablished for the avowed purpose of breaking
down both parties
This MIR. Nj. pronounoes untrue Now, for
the truth of this declaration of Mr.. IS we re-
FER our readers to the files OF that sheet. Mr.

from it,

resolved that the sectional agitation shall not
again be renewed By any fault of theirs -
Surely, never did men labor so desperately for
peace and concord. How they would rejoice,
how their hearts would swell with grateful
emotion, how they would love the good People,
if they could only be allowed, without word
of protest or dissent to carry on their nice little
schemes for monOpolizing political power, and
using the Federal Government as u mere in
strument for their own aggrandizement!

For some time past, rumors have reached
this country of conspiracy OF Slavery propa-
gandists in California. to wrest Sonora from
the Republic IF Mexico, and erect it into an
independent State with a view to ultimate an.
nexation to this Union. 1t was stated that
three several bands of lawless men had march
ed from San Diego, but no definite information
could he obtained Of the details Of their plan
IL seems that the Federal authorities, apprisei
of the scheme, have been on the alert TO arrest
them. The San Francisco Herald contains an
account of the seizure by General Hitchcock
commanding officer of the district Of the brig
Arrow, lying in that port, on the ground that
she had been or was about to be, fitted out for
an expedition against the territory of neigh
boring Power, at peace with the United States
The captain was put under arrest. His friends
put bold front on the matter and immedi-
ately brought suit against the Federal officers
for the recovery of the vessel The controversy
may lead to important disclosures, as General
Hitchcock is said to he acting under instruc-
tons from Washington We trust the Admin
stration will continue to vindcate its good faith
and the honor Of the country, by the prompt
suppression Of these piratical movements whe's-
er on the Atlantic or Pacific seaboard.

ENCOURAGE YOUR OWN NTEc

ENCOURAGE YOUR OWN MECHANICS.
The disposition cannot be too much
rcbukcd, let it exist in any town it
may, o send to distant parts for
products, which could be equally we'll
furnished by the mechanics of their
own town. This will apply to nations
as well as to towns. No one thing can
be more positively injurious to the
real interests of any town than to
go over the heads of its mechanics,
and buy elsewhere. 1t takes out of
tho place money, which justly be
longs at home. 1t discourages and
drives away honest and enterprising
mechanics. 1t prevents them from
advancing in prosperity, so MS to add
to the success oftheir town. NVherev.
or you see poor mechanics you are
very sure to see poor town. The
prosperity of both are identified.
We regret to believe that there arc
persons who think that no article can
be good for anything unless it be an
imported one. Such are pests to
the town in which they live. They do
what they can to rctard its progress,
and discourage its citizens. 1t is
wholly wrong, unjust and foolish. Ev-
cry real friend to the place in which
he lives should do all he can to en-.
courage its mechanics, and he who has
right conception of the duties oi
a good neighbor and true American
citizen will ever take pleasure in doing
so, and not run after every thing that
is foreign, from the foolish idea that
by doing SO it renders him man OF
the ton, by such an act Of deep injus.
tleo to his own fellow.citizens.A- Wesl

w OMEN AND LADrEs.-In the davs
of our forctathers there were such
things to be met with rs men and
women; but now they are all gone,
and in their place 4 race of ladies and
Gentlemeu' has sprung up. Women
and girls are among the things that
were; but "ladies" arc found every.
where. Miss Martineau wishing TO
see the women wards in a prison in
Tennessee, vas answoiod by the ward.
eu, I'VE have no ladies here ut pres
cnt, madam" Now SO far rs the Ia
dies were concerned, it was very well
that none OF them were in prison; but
it sounds G little odd-ladies in prison!
1t would seem bad enough for women
to go to such Il place.
y lecturer, discoursing upon the
characteristics of woman, illustrated
thus:-"Who were the last at the cross.
Ladies' Who were the first at the
scpulchro? Ladies'" On the mod
crn improvement we have heard of
but one thing that beats the above
1t was the finishing touch to the mar
rlngc ceremony, performed by an ex-
quisite divine, up to all modern refine
mcnts. When he had thrown the chain
of liymcn around the happy couple,
he concluded by saying: 81 noW pro
nounce you husband and lady" The
audience stuffed their handkerchiefs in.
to their mouths, and got out of the
room as quickly as possible to take
breath.

THE MosT BEAUTIFUL HAND.-Two
charming women were discussing one
day what it is which constitutes beau
ty in the hand. They differed in opin-
ion as much.as in the shape of the beau.
tiful member they were discussing.-
A gentleman friend presented himself,
and by common consent tho question
wos referred to him. 1t was n delicate
matter. lie thought Of Paris aud the
three goddesses. CHANGING from one to
the other of the beautiful hands present
ed to him, which, by the way, he had the
cunning to hold for some time in his
own, for purposes Of examination, he
replied at last: 81 give it up, the ques-
ton is too hard for me; but ask the
poor, and they will tell you the most
beautiful hand in the world is the hand
that gives"

PorULArloN OF THE GRAvE.-Un.
der this head the Merchants Ledger
has some very curious and interest
ing calculations.
1t estimates the average Of births
per second, for the last eighteen hun
drcd and tifty-lhrce years ut about
Sl5. This would make the whole NUM-
bcr of human Ecnms who have lived
since the birth of Christ about thirty
two thousand millions.
Deducting from this number the
nine hundred and sixty millions, the
present population of the globe, and
it leaves the number thirty-one thou
sand and forty millions that have
gone to tho grave.
OF this number the estimate is that
nine thousand millions have died
by wars.
Eight thousand millions by famint
and pcstilcncc.
Five hundred millions by martyrdom
Five hundred and eight millions by
Intoxicating drinks.
Thirteen thousand millions natural
ly or otherwise.
BY this estimate it will he seen that
was and strong drink have sent one
third Of the human race to a prema
turc grave.
