The Pass When Tamerlane had fin-
ished building his pyramid of seventy thou
sand skulls, and was seen standing at the
gate of Damascus gittering with steel, with
his battle.axe on his shoulder and his fierce
hosts filed out to new victories and carnage,
the pale looker.on might have fancied that
Nature was in her death-throes-for havoc
and despair had taken possession Of the earth,
and the sun of mankind seemed setting in
seas of blood. Yet it might be, that on that
very gala-day Of Tamerlane, little boy was
playing nine. pins in the streets of Men,z,
whose history was more important than twen-
ty Tamerlanes. The Tartar Kahn, with his
shaggy demons of the wilderness, passed
away like a whirlwind, to be forgotten: and
that German artisan has wrought n benefit
which is yet immeasurably expanding ITSELF
and will continue TO expand itself, through
all countries and through all time. What are

A SINGULAR HoAx.-An old soldier, NAMED
Alexander, was last week arrested in Montreal,
on suspicion of having murdered his wife and
burnt her body in the stove. II was clearly
proved before the inquest that he had beaten
her severely on the day of her sudden disap-
pearance, and quantity of bones found in
the stove were subjected to the professional
and critical examination of three medical gen.

DEMOCRACY ahead YET.

The Longansport Qa,) Journal gives an
account of the presentation of flag from
the ladies' of Cass county to the democrats
of Pulaski, at which ceremony Mr. Groves
is reported to have made speech, of which
the following is part:
Fellow citizens-Not alone in our district
is democracy with its head and ears erect like
n geese, but the whole world is on fire with
locofocosm, which is eight and a half per
cent worse than Milerism. In France,
where the very bricks of the human side
walk were down-trodden and herring boned
by the cunning of whiggery, they now glory

B- The "Churchman" (Episcopalan)
publishes letter from Bishop Kipp, en- route
for California. The Bishop dates Mt King
ston, (Jam.,) and graphically describes the
besotted condition of the negro population
there -
. "The streets" the Bishop says, "are crowd.
ed with the most wretched looking negroes
to be seen on the face of the earth. Lazy,
shiftess, and diseased, they will not work
since Manumission Act has freed them. Even
coaing the steamers is done by women,-
About hundred march on board in n line
with tubs on their heal, (tubs and coal to-
gether weighing about 80 pounds,) and with
wild song empty them into the hold. The
men work day, and then live on it u week.
The depth of degradation to which the negro
population has sunk, is, we are told inde-
scribable. The inhabitants Of Sodom were
pure compared with them. Once said a
gentleman to me, you did not see an untidy
negro in the streets. Now, look at them y
pointing to group of squalid wretches.-
This is the unvarying testimony Of all the
residents have seen." "

NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE on WoMAss

most amiable handiwork of GUd, in her tfue
character. Her place is at mans side. Her
office, that of the sympatliizer: the unreserved,
unquestioning believer the recognition, with
held in every other manner, but given, in pity,
thro' woman's heart, lest man should utterly
lose faith in himself; the echo of Gods own
voice, pronouncing, at is well dune !" All Tho
separate action of woman is, and ever has
been, and always shall be, false, foolish, vain
destructive of her own best and hUlirst quail
ties, void of every good effect, and productive
of intolerable mischeis! Man is wretch
without woman; but woman is monster
and, thank heaven, an almost impossible and
hitherto imaginary monster-without man aS

woman's taking the social stand which some
Of them--poor, miserable, abortive creatures,
who only dream Of such things because they
have missed womnn's peculiar happiness, or
because nature made them really neither man
nor womanl---if there were chances of their
attaining the end which these petticoated
monstrosities have in view, / would call upon
my own sex to use its physical force, that
unmistakabe evidence of sovereignty, to
scourge them bark within their proper bounds.
But il will not be necdful. The heart of true
womanhood knows where its own sphere is,
and never seeks TO stray beyond il!

New YORK, Jan.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.
The public interest to-day is political and
looks towards Washington. The proceed
ings in Congress yesterday, and the speech
of Mr.. Foote last night, makes rather "spicy"
reading. We may as well confess New York
has each of her classes of society represented
in Congress. Mike Walsh, who is bold,
honest and bluff, considers it his highest glo-
ry to be the political "medium" Of the un-
washed democracy Of the Bowery. Mr.. Cut
ting who is n clever lawyer, polished schol-
mr. and an aristrocratic member of society,
probably represents the wealthest constitu-
ency in the country. Socially rs wide asun-
der as the poles, they are politically Siamese
twins. Mike Walsh can point out his vol
leys of bitter invective and abuses, and when
closely pressed, as on yesterday, by trouble
some interrogatories, Cutting, with reserv-
ed corps of facts and arguments, come to his
assistarce and rescue. The skirmish Of yes
terday was adroitly planned, and admirably
executed. The last spark of "Hard" oppo-
sition was dying out in the Senate, and the
confirmation of Redfeld was about to pass
by common consent The wand of n magi-
clan is waved in their minds, the old fires are
rekndled, new hopes of spirited rebellion are
kindled, the confirmation of Red6eld as Col
Iector is postponed, and the National Demo-
cracy take courage. The Administration is
not vet nvulnerable.

SCIENTIFIC AGREEMENT.-A California pa
per tells the story Of n Snowman who delight
ed an "apprecinting public" with a view OF
the Mammoth Cave:
II was his custom, as each scene was ex-
hibited to explain il. When the great cave
came to view, he stepped forward and said /:
"Ladies and gentlemeh, this is eroat phs-
nomenon-indecd, the gtcatest in the world.
The learned Of all nations have visited il; but
while none could agree as to the cause which
had produced it, they all came to this grand
conclusion, that II was one of the most trc-
mendous holes In the ground they had ever
seen"

0rWc learn through one Of the officers
of the San Francisco that robbery was the
order of the day, during the wreck, to an
extent almost unparalleled in liendish atroci'
ty. The panic appeared to be hailed as
welcome signal for the commencement OF
their vlany. Trunks were broken open
their contents stolen, and they thrown into
the sen, under pretext Of tightening the ship
while even the dying were set upon and rob-
bed as II by SO many wolves!
As several Of the ships-rew and soldiers
came ashore at New York, they displayed q
marvellous amount and style Of luggage fol
their staton.-We hear rumors Of arrests
but have no names, as yet.

A MODEL SPEEcH.-We commend the fol-
lowing speech to the careful study Of all can
didates before the people. 1t was delivered
in Illinois, by a candidate for the legislature,
is brief and pithy, and the man who made it
was elected, as he deserved TO be:
"Fellow-citizcns; | am no speech-maker,
but what say I'll do. I've lived among you
twenty years, and if I'm myself n clever fell
low, YOU know it, without n speech, if I'm
not clever fellow, you know that too, and
wouldn't forget it with speech. | am a
candidate for the legislature: If you think I'm
the clear grit vote for me, if you think Ma
ior R, of better stripe, than am,
vote for him. The fact is, that either of us
will make devilish good representative.

sR The New Workers are talking about
raising regiment to assist the Turks. OF
this proposed "aid and comfort" the New Or
leans Delta says:
How ridiculous! When the Hungarians,
Italians and Germans were contending for
their independence against Despoiism, no re-
gimcnts were raised, no supplies were sent,
and no General Sanford was waited on to be
made judy of. But, for poor Turkey, some-
thing must be done. And Ben rabbi Lau-
renee, Pacha Julien, with his twenty tails,
and Mustapha Sandford, have devoted them
selves to rescue the Turks, with their ha.
rcins, mosques, and all, from the grasp OF

fury against the Russians, and determine at

great Powers Of Europe. Go il, boots!

bPWe learn from Washington that the
Nebraska Territorial bill underwent long
discussion in Cabinet meeting last Saturday
afternoon, and that all the members, except
Messrs Davis and Dobbin, opposed the pro-
posed amendment abrogating the Missouri
compromise act as applied to territories. 1t
is understood that the result of the dclibera-
ton was an agreement that an amendment
should be offered providing that the rights
of persons and property in the new territory
shall be governed by the restrictions and IL
mutations imposed by the constitution of the
United States, and the acts giving govern
ments to be adjusted by decision of the
Supreme Court. On the other hand, it is
stated that the House Committee on Terri
tories intend to report bill dividing Ne
braska into two territories, eastern and
western, which will in express terms repeal
the Missouri compromise so far as it bears
upon the domain in question. This is sim
ply proposition to form a free and slave
territory, and will, it is asserted, place the
matter squarely before Congress, without
mystfication or dodging.

are civil, oblging, tender and humane; they
are ever inclined to be gay and cheerful, tmo-

more disinterested, more vrtuous, and per

EXTRAORDINARY GEoLIcIcAL DIscoyERu

EXTRAORDINARY GEOLOGICAL Discoveries.
in the course of the proceedings of1lle
German Association for the advancement OF
Science, lately held ut Tubingen, Professor
Karnat announced that Germany had coal
enough to supply herself and all the rest Of
the world for the next 500 years. The great
fact elected at the meeting was the clearing
up the mystery of the fossil human teeth
found in the Swabian Alps, in Strata of the
mammoth period, and doubts expressed us to
their being human teeth, rs man was not be-
leved to have existed in the time of the
mammoth. Since the meeting in 1852, n
number of perfect human skulls have been
found in the same locality with teeth in them,
which discovery, if correctly reported, would
naturally lead to the conclusion that II race Of
human beings was in existence cOntempora-
neously with the mastodon, and other Of the
larger antedluvian animals.

NEBRAsKA.-Senator Dixon, of KY, on

slavery forever in that Territory. This will
bring the matter up fair and square before
the Senate and the country, and rescues tho
bill from all doubt and equivocation.

DEsrisY OF THE FRENCH EMPEROR 1T is
known that Louis Napoleon, the present Fun
peror of the French, was always of The full
belief that he. was destined one day 10 ns-
cend the French throne; that war with Eng
land would ensue; aud that he should even
tually enter London in triumph, and thus in
a measure avenge his uncle's wrongs. Tho
following incident is related of him; when
he resided in England, previously to Louis
Phlllippe's deposition, he WAS walking one
day n Trafalgar Square with Sir Richard
Acton; he stopped, looked round, and said
with sigh: alt grieves me TO think that II
is my destiny to destroy all this place. am
fond Of The English, ahd have much canso to
be grateful TO them, mud will do it with as
little bloodshed as possible" He added, II
shall be killed with musket-bal in the
streets Of Londoni" We wonder whether he
has not now altered his mind MS to the wnf
with England. The first part of his destiny
has come true, but will the rest cnsuel
