Mrs. Stowe writes as follows to one of her
friends II now putting through the press
another work. A Key to Uncle Toms Cabin,
containing all the facts and documents which con
firm the story; truth darker and sadder, and more
painful to write than the fiction was l shall call
heaven and earth to witness to the deeds which
have been done here Alas that should do it.
Should God spare my life till April, trust to
mingle prayers and Christian affection with the
Christians of Scotland"
Some of our not over courteous contemporaries
say of this that. having woven a tissue of false
hood, Mrs. Stowe is now, with an obStinacy which
belongs to her tribe, about to swear to It's honesty
We have no prejudice against northern people
who see our slave-System with prejudice 1t is
natural that they should look at it SO. They see
nothing Of it, except what comes to them through
the most unfounded calumnies-many of them
having not the slightest foundation in fact. We
fall repeatedly on such stories, which are self evil
IDENTIFY absurd, and SO greatly exaggerated that
they actually disarm anger. Mrs. Stowe will
doubtless collect these stories and give in proof of
them the rascas in whose fertile brains they had
their origin.
But just suppose that one were to pursue her
plan for the purpose of dem 9nsating the horrible
condition of northern society Why such book
as might be thus complied would be monstrous.-
1t could be shown that there is neither virtue nor
honor At the north-that vice abounds even among
the best clrcles-that cruelty to wives is universal
that infanticide is the custom-that purity has
no place in the marital relation. All this could
by this process be proved on the best testimony,
the daily records of the courts, Yet this is the

ORGANIZATION OF FOREIGNERS IN MExICo-To
enable foreigners to protect themselves in case of
an outbreak during the late troubles, the foreign
ministers resident in Mexico recommended an or
ganzation of all foreigners in the city. Accor-
dinghy, on the afternoon of the 18th of January,
the Americans met and passed resolutions as to
the course they would pursue. A letter to the
N. Y journal of Commerce says:
The next day we Americans associated our
selves with the English and Germans. The Ger
mans having the best and strongest rendezvous in
case of an attack in the city. we made that, and
still d. our headquarters. The European Span
iards have their headquarters at the Brazos Hotel
and the French at place called the Sociedad--
These are all within one squares walk of each
other.
According to this arrangement, our proportion
of officers is one lieutenant and two sergeants;
the whole 6ve viz: Americans, English, French,
Germans, and Spaniards, under the command of a
French officer We number under arms.z5O men,
and this number can be augmented to about I, $50.
Most of us have two Colt six shooters, musket
and sword; so that the $50 of us, at all times
ready, can FIRE about T. 500 balls, without reload
ing In our headquarters, fourteen men stand as
sentinels every n ght. They were attacked one
night by about so thieving Mexcans; but, as the
latter were Immediately fred upon, they instantly
"oneosed, leaving three of their number dead.

NEWSPAPERS AND THEIR PATRoNs.-A great
portion of the community suppose, says ex
change, that newspapers can publish everything
that occurs far and near, and this whether it re-
fers to public or private matters Indeed it has
to pass that matters of purely private and
personal nature, where single individual is to be
alone benefited, the custom prevails to trot off to
some one all of the newspapers, to obtain
''nolice." If an individual has a notion in his
head; if he imagines he has made discovery or
an invention; if he has constructed machine, or
received a package of goods if he has become
possessed of some novel toy; bought calf with
TWO heads or five legs, he expects any newspaper
to open its columns at any length and enlighten
the public on the same, simply because he lis

comprising twenty five acres situated between the Ninth

every trip from the city the grounds every Is minutes

of conveyance inadequate 10 accommodate the rush Of
visitors.
The weather was fine and the Fair highly successful It
IL said to have been the best held in the State The
number of entries fer greater than any like occasion
in Pennsylvania and in everything except stock ahead Of
the famous State Fer held in Cleveland last year The
premiums were liberal aud warmly competed for.
