CALIFORNIA GANBLING.-The Maryville Her
alG says that some time since gambler abscond-
ed from that place, leaving behind him a roulette
wheel, which, on being ia ken apart, was found to
be so constructed that by touching spring the
bottom OF every box painted red would be made
to rise, presenting smooth surface and leaving
the bali alternative but to drop into the black.
Should the heaviest betting be upon the black the
screw might be pressed little harder whereup-
on the bottoms of all the black boxes would come
up and tie ball must 90 to the red. Moving with
the smoothness of clock work, the machinery
could never fail. With it a child might play
against the world and win every stake. Doubt
less many young man who has gone out from
our eastern States to the land of promise buoyant
with health and hope and energy, and has there
earned by the sweat of his brow an amount suf-
fciert to render him independent for life, has in
a moment of excitement or forgetfulness, been in
duced to stake his hard earned gains at the BILE
of a gambler-perhaps on such an instrument as
this-and has thus been robbed not only of his
wealth, but of his hope, his energy and his self
respect.

THE GAME OF EUCHRE.


THE GAME OF EUcHRE.
BY CHARLES NJ. DENNIE.
Rosy Love and yellow LUcRE,
CHANGING one warm day to meet,
Set them down to play at euchre,
In the shade from out the heat
Sat them down to play at euchre
With proviso not to cheat.
CurID staked his precious quiver
Full OF arrows gainst some gold,
For, as usual, not silver
Had the son of VENUS bold:
So he staked his precious qmver
'Gainst paltry pile of gold.
"Let me have the cards to shuffle,"
Cunning Lucre said to Love:
This made Cupid's temper ruffie,
And he swore aloud-"By Jove!
Don't you think I'll fairly shuttle,
Shuttle fairly shriveled cove7"
Love was wrathy, Lucre quiet:
Hearts were trumps: Love turned it down
''Next in suit think I'll try it'-
Lucre said with mocking tome
Diamonds, my boy, LET'S try it,"
And poor Cupid was "done brownD
"Nothng left to stake,' said Cupid,
When they had for some time played:
'PhooH' laughed Lucre, you are stupid
Go your eyes" Il will" exclaimed
Cupid, and the poor boy duped
Took the chance of getting MANNED.
Love was passionate and heated,
Lucre very cool and wise,
And he soon adroitly cheated,
Cheated Love ''out OF his eyes"
Thus came Cupid blind-piain cheated,
Euchred out of two bright eyes.
@Iwil stake my name, dear Mammon!
Whispered Love in Lucre's ear;
'PshaW laughed Lucre, that's all CANNON,
will leave you that, my dear!-
Leave you that the world to CANNON,
Cannon till interere.o
Ever since that game ofe eucbre
Love has been without a key
To the heart OF man; but Lucre
Has one called cuoid-ity.
Love, burglar made by euchre,
Laughs at locks" maliciously.

TO COTTON PLANTERS.

| YTNHE undersigned have formed a Co-partner-
| i ship and opened a shop at this place for the
manufacture and repairing of Cotton Gins.
They will shortly be in receipt of an ample new
stock of the best quality of Gin materials ire m the
| East which they intend to work up into Gins
which will be fully guaranteed to give entire
satisfaction. One of us (Mr. WYArT9 having for
| some five years executed most of the work that
| went from the shop of the late j. r. Crosby, we
feel no hesitation in assuring the Cotton Planters
of the upper Red river country that all work done
at our shop will be fully equal if not superior to
| the best that was ever manufactured by the late
Mr. Crosby.
We solicit the patronage of Cotton planters
who may want new Gins, or old ones repaired:
and hope they will send in their orders as early
as convenient in order that their gins NAV be
certain to be ready for them by the time the
present growing Crop is ready for picking.
By permission of some and without having had
an opportunity of consulting others, we annex a
number of names of well known Cotton planters
to whom we would refer as regards the perform
ance of Gins heretofore built by one of us i'm the

Congressional observation-disclosures

We publish to-day the call for Con-
vention at Rochester, to nominate a can
bidate for Congress from this District.
The Wisconsin, says that Gen. King
and S. NJ. Booth are candidates for nom
nation. The Sentinel replies that Gen.
King will in no event be candidate.
For ourselves, we care not who is the
candidate. so he is true to the Republi-
can Platform. We could support Gen.
King most cheerfully.
Mr.. Booth needs no Endorsement of
ours, but we will take this occasion to
make remark we have thought of dong
for sometime.
Before the Convention at Madison.
certain papers objected to men who had
occupied leading position heretofore
having any thing to do with it. No
names were mentioned, but it was every
where understood to refer to Mr.. Booth.
So much was said about it, as doubtless
to be the reason why Mr., Booth per-
sisted in standing back at the Convention.
But the people did not feel like the
politicians. His name was called by the
crowd more than all others who spoke
So repeated and persistent were they
that he should speak, that they would
listen to no one else till he would get up
and ask them to hear the particular one
the managers We're thrusting forward
promising to rake after" This had to
be repeated every time any one spoke.
1t was amusing to see him obliged to as
sist the managers in keeping himself from
taking prominent part.-D.

When We arrived on the ground We found
the engines. on hand manned. and play
ing at the fire which appeared to be in
the cellar Of thcrcstaraut and residence
Of Mr.. Holiday on Market street. 1t

through a hole in the first floor Of the
building which lodged in some straw be
low, AMI caused tremendous smudgc
though not much fire After con>idera-
hlc search the immediate point of the
combustion was discovered and cxtin-
guIShed without much damage.
The rumors current that, the late hot
weather bad caused Spontaneous combus-
tion of the ice in the ice house attached
to the building, are we believe without
foundation.

NationalltY.

We had thought we had sufficiently
defined our position on this question, 50
that none could mistake us. But one Of
our Irish adopted friends and citizens
called on us yesterday, and wanted to
know aehy We were continually coming
down on the Irish so.
In our business relations in this City,
we have frequently heard the remark
among that portion of our citizens, that
the Telegraph was always against the
Irish.
Now, we are not going to cater to any
prejudice for the sake Of patronage and
we are not going to fatter Yankees.
Dutch, Irish, nor any other class for the
sake Of their support; and neither shall
we refrain from speak II cur thoughts
out of Difference TO any class.
We think there is album at evidence
to show that our National Administra-
ton and Democracy is opposed to for
eigners enjoying the rights Of citizens
and we know it is one Of the first prin-
ciples Of the political school to which We
belong, that mans birthplace has no
thing % do with his Intelligence, worth
or rights. To us, Manhood is supreme
and the individual born in Ireland Eng
land, or any where else, is no better noI
worse because of his birth. than the III
diyidual born here.
We holl that a native of any country
coming to America to live has IA nat,trd,
right to be considered and treated as Z
citizen, with all the rights of one, from
and after the moment he takes up res.
idencc with us. We think our foreign
friends cannot mistake this losition.-D

The Slave Trade.

1t is beginning co be boldly urged by
leading Southern presses, that a revival
of the Slave Trade is needed, not for the
United States as nO2r constituted They
urge that the South has already slaves
enough. But if Cuba and the Sandwich
Islands are annexed they say the slave
trade will be needed to import hands from
Africa to work the lands Of those coun-
tries.
Such are feelcrs already beginning to
be thrown out The fact is. the Slave
Power begins to fancy it,'f strong enough
to play bolder game, and il thinks its
triumphs of the complete subiugation of
the American Continent to the United
States, and to Slavery. ultimately sure.
Is it not time that a northern party of
Freedom was formed. which shall absorb
all the good and true of all old parties Of
the Free States ?-D

the refusal Of the Supreme Court to grant

is intense all over the State. 1t is CON

unconstitutional, he people rW.

Coy. Matteson and Votes.

a. S. Story, formerly of the Northern
Improvement. Of this State. was some
time ago murdered at La Sale in Hin
DIS, by some Irish railroad laborers ofhis.
The circumstances attending the murder
were exceedingly brutal. The murderers
were tried, and found guilty. \ new
trial was granted, and the venue laid an
other County. on he plea Of prejudice
against Irishmen, with La Sale iuries.
They were again found guilty. OLcc-
tons were carried to the Supreme Court.
and that Court confirmed the trials be
low. A prodigious influence was then
brought upon Gov Matteson, on national
and political grounds, and he pardoned
the criminals as every body in Illinois.

the Irish vote Of the State.
In view of this. paper directed to him,
has been numerously signed in La Sale
deprccating his course, expressing the fear
that it VIII operate as q premium upon
crime, and concluding with the following
promise.
It is unnecessary for Us to say that we
have no sympathy with autioaatiSm--w
know no difference between Irish. Dutch
or Yankee, as such. Crime is crime by
whomsoever committed AMI Gov. Mat
teson earned his rebullc.-D.
But fearing as we d. that murder and
rioting will he more frequent on account
of your subyurting and annuliug the laws
Of our land, we therefore petition YOU
and pray that in future, YOU will not con
descend to use in similar cases the power
you have vested in you to pardon for
any such base and mean purpose as pop
ular patronage; and we Will pledge our
selves, that i'll case YOU in future do not
stoop so low as to commute such trca-
sonable acts, disgraceful to yourself as
well as to our state. that we will with all
our influence, votes, and all fair and
honorable means, try to make up to YOU
as many votes as YOU would probaly lose
by letting the laws Of our state and land
be justly executed.

their machines, to be awarded by jury
Of three. and the loser to pay 81 800 to

hours and - minutes, and that Mannv's
machine cut % 22-100 acres in 10 hours
