1--we have just put in motion,
another one of Hoe II Co.'S, superior
Presses, and have made large and
valuable additions to our stock Of job
type, and printing materials. Our
citizens, one and all, are informed that
work can be done at home, in as good
etyle--as cheap, and expediciously as
il can be done elsewhere. We do not
pretend to say that the Comet is alone
competent; on the contrary, our neigh
bors Of the Gazette and Advocate are
equally as well prepared as we are.
Hence there is no excuse to offer, for
sending to New Orleans for every
thing, because we can meet every ar.
gument Of the would be fastit'eous, end
thewould BE- egn ical. Thus, the
principal thing now-a- days, which en-
ters the mind OF the man who is going
to have work done, is this; and it
occurs to'him in the way Of a question,
in precisely these words. "Where
is the office Of my politics p If he
be wing, Of couree the work must be
done by tie press that jobs out wing
politics; and II lie Is d democrat, 1--WE
hate to rse The aorl democrat, because
like the mere name christian" IL is
daily prostituted to base purposes.)
As before said Of the inan WIN is call
ed democrat" Of oourco he patron
ICES the paper bearing that name.
Here ut The Capital, we are most
fortunately off in this particular , we
have three daily papers, all good of
their kind, and all representing diff
erent factions There is the "Whig"
for wings The democrat for demo-
ocrats, aud the Comet for The balance
who belong 10 themselves, and do MS
they like. 50, it will be seen that
the principal, and most cogent reason
for sending work away; is overcome.
There in this fact in reference to
ourselves, which the public should
bear in miud---(which shows our de.
fcnoeless position.) We can never
''gouge' our customers by sticking
high prices on them.

BURIAL or THE LAST SURVIVOR OF
THE BATTLE OF LEx1NaToN.--A tele-
graphic despatch, dated Lexington,
March Goth, says:
The funeral solemnities of Jonathan
Harrington, the last survivor of the
battle Lexington, were celebrated to-
day, and were very imposing. The
Governor, Lieut.. Governor, Executive
Council, and many members Of both
branches Of the Legislature, were
present Eighteen military compan-
les and several Masonic orders were
in the procession; and it is estimated
that some 5000 strangers were in
the town. The ceremonies were gen.
orally of Masonic character, the de-
ceased having been Mason. Rev.
George NJ. Randall, Grand Master Of
the Lodge of Massachusetts,, preached
the funeral sermon.

rFrom the Chattanooga Gazette
we gather the particulars Of the burn
ing Of the steamer Caroline, in White
River. The Caroline was q stern
wheel boat in the Memphis and White
river trade. She had assembled White
river twenty miles, when she took fire,
and was SO rapidly consumed that
many lives were lost principally wo.
men and children.

The Pension Fund.

gislature OF this State, has been do
Mating large sums Of money to pay
Pensions, to Veterans Of The war Of
IA & Is. The sum appropriated
by the last Legislature "fifteen tbous-
and dollars" has already been con-
sumed, and non there is no ilDpropri-
city IN making enquiry to know ''ho,c
it has been appropriated under the
law; where it has gone to, and what
good is the result of it. As TO the
law itself--like all others, it is partial
and unjust for this obvious reason
Baton Rouge is the Capital Of the
State, and for the very reason, that it is
not able to support" the barrel organ
of either party, ii has never yet pub
lished the laws. The laws are Mi
laws anywhere outside of this mile
square population, until they have
been published thirty days. But
spectators in New Orleans, have ex-
elusive privileges granted them, over
the country; and as soon as the law
is published heretofore the thirty
days have expired, they get their pen
sion and other papers ready, send
them here and every appropriation is
swallowed up, before the country is
apprised Of it. Is there any justice in
this ! 1t may be said that the same
right is allowed the country, to draw
for money before the law is in force
but it is evidently wrong, for the thir-
ty days have been appointed, that all
may have the same advantages. So
much for so much. New Orleans has
always had the advantage, and vii
continue to have, as long as the laws
are published there, in violation of The
very letter of the Constitution. We
do not hesitate TO say, that IA out Of
the Is thousand, appropriated to pay
Veterans by the last legislature have
gone to persons in New Orleans-by
far, the largest number Of whom, never
saw the battle field, and many Of them,
in such circumstances as to make the
donation on the part Of the State, a
Sasteful expenditure of the peoples
On receiving the pension Of
BIS, many have been heard to say,
this will help to pay my State taxes. .
We suppose that there are some few
Veterans Of IA and Is left, who may |
be in necessitous circumstances, and il
would be just and proper to grant
them yearly stipend out Of the Treas
ury; but there should be special acts
for them and it would prevent others
from being damned for perjury. by |
swearing first, that they were Tin the
Ines at the battle; and secondly, |
hat they are in neoessitous circum-
stances. If nothing but an oath is re.
1uired, New Orleans can alone, any
week, establish claims Of an hundred
thousand dollars to the Pension fund.
The appropriation ofa pension fund.
Is equivalent to a donation to a few
SPECTATORS who command "votes' and
therefore always succeed in ''lugging'

Fer We look to the Picayune to
be posted 10 reference to the matter Of
Womans Rights. Every now and
then it collates the movements in par
ticular parts Of the Union in this mat
ter, and furnish them in the following
condensed form
"rhe Wonen's Rights petition for
Legislation has been reported upon by
a committee Of the Assembly of the
State Of New York, and law recon-
mcnded for adoption to the effect that
any married woman, whose husband,
either from dl unkenness, profligacy, or
any other cause. shall neglect or refuse
to provide for her support and educa-
ton, or for the support and education
of her children, and any married wo-
man who may be deserted by her hus-
band shall have the right, by her
own pame, to receive and collect her
own earnings, and apply the same for
her own support and the support and
education OF her children, free from
the control and interference Of her hus-
band, or of any person claiming to be
released from the same, by or through
her husband, and, moreover, that il
shall he necessary to the validity Of
every indenture of apprenticeship exc
cuted by the fathe-, that the mother
Of such child, if she be living, shall, in
writing, consent to such indentures,
nor shall any appointment Of a general
guardian Of the person of a child by
tie father. be valid, unless the mother
Of such child, if she be living, shall, in
writing, consent to such appointment
We see nothing but pure justice in
such an enactment as this; but the
"strong-minded' will never rest con-
tented with pure justice. Their de-
mands reach to the very height of the
impracticablc absurd.

A CHEAP Stump PUhbER.-' We noticed a
very simple continuance for pulling stumps,
which Mr.. Edgerton says works very well in
deed. 1t is SO simple in its structure, that we
commend it TO Those wishing anything Of the
kind. II consists Of log Of strong timber,
from ten 10 twelve inches in diameter at the
large end, and eight to ten at the smaller, and
about sixteen to twenty feet long. To the
larger end is attached very heavy chain,
about three feet long, with very large and
strong hook at the free end, while at the other
there Is ring sufficiently large to slip over
the larger end of the log or lever. To the
small end of the lever a yoke of cattle is
hitched. The manner of using it is as simple
as the machine and acts on the principle OF
some tooth-hook of the dentist. The large
hook is caught hold Of some Of the stronger
roots, and the cattle are then driven round the
stump so as to wind up the short heavy chain,
and then continue on in even tenor OF their
way, till the stump gives itself and surrenders
its position Thus they are removed easily
and rapidly

BRITIsH IGNORANCE THE following
paragraph curiously illustrates the general
condition of education in Great Britain.
1t is said that out of four hundred young
men, just now seeking British Government
employment, only thirty could pass the follow
ing examination, viz; TO write good business
note; take down paragraph from standard
author from dictation; write out the names OF
the different counties in England, and exhibit
a knowledge of the four first rules of Arith-
metic. Of the incompetents it is said that the
majority were off-shoots of the aristocracy,
and not OF the middle class whom Goblet used
to conjure to " turn away their eyes from
S0merset-house. -

lived forty days without food or drink. A
young lady, sixteen years Of age, is mentioned
in the Edinburg Medical Essays, who was
thrown into such violent tetanus, or rigldity
of the muscles, by the death Of her father, that
she was unable to swallow for ffty-four days.
A still more extraordinary account is related

had such dislike to food of all kinds, that
for eighteen years he never tasted anything
