A New SECT OF FANATIcs.-The Paris
correspondent of the Washington Republic
gives an account Of n strange and furious
sect of fanatics, rs follows :-"In village in
POmorania is q set of fanatics called Hwin-
gians et Pious. On Easter Sunday they were
praying and singing with vast zeal and unc-
ton in their chapel. All at once, one who
had been singing the hardest cried out that
he was possessed with devil, and implored
others to deliver him from it. They at once
proceeded to exercise him, after the practice
usual in such cases. They beat him with
sticks and pelted him with stones. They
beat him behind and they beat him before,
upwards and downwards, around and be.
tween, hithcr and thither, till he was all Of Il
jelly. The martyr bore it with the stocisnl
Of an enthusiast. At last he exclaimed
There, you have forced him up into my
throat; now press well upon my neck, ard he
will fly out Of my mouth They did MS they
were bld, but with such violence that they
completely stranged him. They then began
again to pray,to shout and to dance, in order
to raise him from the dead. The Mayor ar
rived with posse commtatus. The Irwin
gians barred themselves in and commenced
repelling the besiegcrs. The doors were
broken down, however, and the chief whip.

has been instituted against them. do not

MORE CoprER MrSEs.-There seems to be
no end to the dicovery of Copper mines.-
We expect some of these days to hear OF
some one stumbling upon mountain OF gold,
and right sharp pile of diamonds. The fol-
lowing paragraph we find in the last Dalton
Times:
Conner Mines in Whilfeld.-It is now re-
duced to facts that there is Copper TO be
found in the vicinity OF Dalton. We have
seen some of the ore and can no longer
doubt The gentlemen who intend opening
the mines understand the business, and they
assure us that the prospect is ns fine as they
could wish. They will commence operations
shortly, on n mine two miles from this city,
on land owned BY George Chappell, Es4r.,
and Capt ID. r. Smith.
There is scarcely day but what we are
shown ore of some kind, from different por-
tions of our own and Murray counties. Judg-
ing from these specimens we are bound to
believe that beneath the ridges, with which
we are surrounded, lies embodied vast
amount of Copper, Silver and Lead. For
the last week many persons from below have
stopped in our city, for the purpose of making
search and of testing any mines which they
may find. They are now in the mountains,
and we understand have been very SUCCESS
ful.
In Murray county they have gone perfect
lv wild The farmers. many of them ut least,
have left their farms to search for Mines
The Cohuttah mountains are almost alive
with them. Lots in Murray and Whitfield
counties that have always been dull sale at
$5. (being mountain ots) cannot now be
bought for scarcely any price, owing to the
conner mania.

JMPROMP1'U LINES,

To Mss Fannie b. C., Of Sparta.
As music charms the lonely hour,
With soft and winning strain,
And moves sad hearts with magic pow'r
Till they beat with joy again:
As diamonds dazzle in the light,
Or pearls beneath the briny wave;
As stars CLEAN through the darkest night,
The mariner to guide and save:
As crystal fount in desert wild,
Or flowers DER the barren plain,
Or simoom drove by zcphyrs mild,
Cheers up the tainting sou! Of man:
As tried and trusty friends we love-
Amid this world of sclf-to meet,
Where i;.lsrhoods dress in truth, to prove
The gossip lies their friends would greet:
AS beauty is II joy forever
The miracle and queen of gems,
That nature pranks around the fair,
OFT crowns their brow with diadcms:
So. peerless Fannie, dost thou seem,
The music charm, the magic power,
The diamond pearl, the star, that CLEAN,
The fount, the zephyr mild, and flower
All these thond'st seem. my cousin friend
And more. thoudst seem a miracle.
Whose matchless grace and beauty tend
To raise the mind to an angel!

The Washington correspondent of the N. Y.

that paper of the Oath inst:
We have intelligence of the commencement
of hostlities in Missouri, between the Benton
wing of the Democracy and the Administra-
ton forces. On the 10th and 18th of May,
Mr.. Benton published pronunciamento
against Gen. Pierce, Senator Atchison, J. c.
Greene, now Charge to somewhere, and his
opponents generally, in which the veteran
political gladiator stgmalzes them all alike,
as Ro,tens, Scanps, Nullfers, Dlsseminators
of corruption and talsehood in general. 1t is
evident that the fate of Old Bullion is sealed.
His aspirations to brilliant finale of life in
the United States Senate are over. He has
f,Ier into the sere and yellow of political
controversy. Like NAstaE he pickelh ut
the bed clothes, when he should rcvel in his
ancient glee. There is nothing more for him
than to come for Il tern Oh two to the House
of Representatives, atI to make as decent IN
ending as the awaiAs1td vengeance Of his
foes viii permit. Pierce, .t,ilison, Greene
and the other denounced will rccaIcetr,te, the
democratic organization Oh the State and n;l-
ton will be brought to bc.7 upon the assail-
ant. and he will ut last be borne feet foremost
from the fray sans teeth and claws, and
every thing else that can wound and harm
even sucking.

RUSSIA AND THE UNITED STArEs.-The N.

counter TO the one lately put forth by the

"Russa and the United States are already
competitors in the great general market OF
the world. Both produce and export raw
materials of nearly the same nature. Russia
brcadstutls crowd out those of our farmers.
In her trans-Caucasian provinces she is be-
ginning to raise cotton, with Il view to prose-
cutting its culture on u large scale. With the
grasping spirit Of the Russian Government
this is not exactly the basis for eternal friend
ship and harmonious cooperation. or course
the active antagonism between the two coun.
tries, which we anticipate rs one day to break
ont, will not proceed from commercial con-
sderations so much as from hostility of prin
cipIes and ideas, and from political necessities.
What we desire To show in respect to com.
merce is that their interests are not the
