Great disappointment was experienced by
our Citizens, some eighteen months ago, a, the
failure OF Mr.. Fillmore 10 visit Lynchburg,
while in Virginia. We do not DOUBT that he
would yet comply, If it we're at all convenient,
with the promise he was then prevented from
keeping by sudden emergency in the pub
he business, calling him To Washneton.-
Would II not be well for the committee TO re-
new their lnvltationl Now that he is so soon
to he private citizen, and that no motive of
party or personal interest could be suspected
as prompting the movement, We cannot hest
tate to believe that men ofal political opinions
would unite in doing honor to one, who all
must believe has honestly s,riven to preserve
the peace and promote the prosperity OF the
country. We suggest a consultation among
the committee. Whether he could come or
not, the compliment is due and could not fail
to be acceptable.

An Army vih Banners.-As you are whirled
along over the Hudson River Railroad at the
rate of forty miles an hour says the Albany
Evening Journal, you catch a glimpse, every
minute or two, of man waving something
like white pocket handkerchief on the end of
n stick, with satisfactory sort of expression of
countenanee. If you take the trouble to count,
you will find that it happens some 200 times
between East Albany and Thirty First street.
1t looks like rather useless ceremony, at first
glance, but it is pretty important one, never.
theless.
There are 225 of these flag men stationed at
intervals along the whole length of the line
Just before train is to pass, each ore walks
over his beat, and looks to see that every track
and tie, every tunnel, switch, rail, clamp and
rivet is in good order and free from obstruction.
If so, he takes his stand with white flag and
waves it to the approaching train as signal to
come on, and come on it does, at full speed If
there is anything wrong, he waves a red flag,
or at night a red lamp, and the engineer on
seeing it quickly shuts off the steam and sounds
the whistle to "put down the brakes" Every
inch Of the road is carfully examined after the
passage of each train. Austrian espionage is
hardly more strict. With such an effective
police, accidents from distractions upon the
track become almost impossible, unless there is
gross negligence on the part of the watchmen.

Men and things IN Austra7ia-At some of
| the dgglngs, the government regulations, with
regard to license fees, have given rise to serious
opposition. The fee at present imposed is thr-
ly shllings sterling per month, to be paid in ad-
vance, and at the beginning Of each month
Tie fee is charged upon plot or ''clalm' of
eight feet square, which is the most allowed to
any one digger. Where there is & party Of four
found, the claim allowed is eight feet by six
teen. n license granted in the middle of any
one month-say the Goth of December-only
holds good to the beginning of the ensuing
month-sav the first, or at farthest, the 9Th of
January. The number of licenses granted in
the month of November last was $4,000, and it
is computed that there are at present close up.
on 100000 persons employed at the diggings.
Mechanics, particularly carpenters and blacks
smiths, obtain employment readily at wages
varying from eighteen shlIlings to one pound
per day. Laborers upon the government works
are receiving some eight shillings, and some
ten shiilings per day. For clerks, &C., there is
no demand.
To parties who intend coming to this colony,
would say, "be prepared to rough it, and to ex.
pect nothing, either on the part OF the .author-
tiles or on that Of the inhabitants, but selfish
ness and dstrust. Bring as little with you in
the shape Of clothing, &c. as you possibly can,
and trust for success to your own stern exer-
tions, and for protection to your reyolvers."- -
Colts revolvers were selling here some time
ago at twenty and twenty-five pounds each;
they bring at present twelve pounds. The ac-
comodation for emmigrants is miserable in the
extreme. There are now living in tents outside

Singular Incident.--A correspondent has
sent the Christian Inteligencer the following
account of a singular occurrence: On Satur-
day, the 10th, Rev. Mr. Stimson, of Castleton,
was invited to preach a funeral sermon in the
church of Schodack, Rev. Mr.. Bailey being sick
and unable to ofieiate While he was Offer
ing prayers preceding the sermon, white dove

his head. MI. Stimson appeared little start
led by the arrival Of the unexpected visitor, but
in moment he calmly raised his hand, and
gently removed the bird. 1t few uponthe gal
lery, but after asfew moments it returned and
alighted on the Bible between his hands, where
it remained until he had concluded the prayer.
The dove was then caught by Mr.. Stimton, and
given to the sexton. e
