NEW "CoSFEssIoN OF AN OPIUM
EATER. R."-Speaking of Opium eating,
the editor of the New York Dutchman
gives the following valuable testimony:
1--WE never could understand how
people can get taste for opium fastened
on them. We tried small quantity of
it the other day for pain externally. >
We were ordered to take two pills day
for four days. The first dose was really
delicious. 1t gave US a -tinged
sleep, filed to the brim with girls made
of rose-leaves. We indulged in dreams
of the most oriental order In one of
them we had mother-of-pearl hand
sled, with golden runners. With this
we glided down a rainbow made of ice
cream, and brought up on terrace, the
supports of which were great spars OF
emerald. The second night things be-
gan TO change. About the supports of
the terrace anacondas began to appear,
while in the distance lot of green
monkeys with their tails burnt of, were
quarreling about the propriety Of ma
king pincushing of us. The third
evening matters grew appalling. The
terrace had gone. and so had the rain
bow, and the girls made Of rose-leaves;
and in their stead we had bed of rat
tlesuakes, on the head-board four griz-
ely bears pulling at haNser, one end
of which was fastened to our neck, and
the other TO an iceberg. That men
should use opium for day does not
surprise US in the least; that they should
do so however, for a month, is really
wonderful. Rather than become a con-
6rmed opium eater we would throw
ourselves into Etna. We can imagine
nothing more terrible"

The CosT OF CRIME IN OH1o.-The
following statistics are from the report
of the Attorney General of Ohio, fol-
last year: Number convicted of murder
in the second degree, 7; manslaughter,
90; rape, 8; bigamy, 1; arson, 8; bur-
glary, 81; assault with intent to murder,
10; to ravish, 2; to rob, 2; grand larce-
ny, II from Hamilton .unty,) 43;
counterfeiting. II; robbery, forgery,
and other crimes, 25; total, 1872. OF
these criminals, seven were sentenced
for life, the others for limited periods,
and the cost Of their trial, conviction,
etc., so far as reported, was S14,O99 "a,
or more than S78 eachl But as several
counties did not report the costs, it is
fair to suppose that the expense was not
less than $50 each.
Now the school tax levied under our
present system, amounts to 8 so for
each youth between five and twenty-one;
and as three-fourths of these youths, or
100000, attend school during some
part of the year, the sum expended for
the tuition of each is only $500. So
that the cost of eonvicting these crimi-
mails would have instructed them in com
mon schools for forty years; or it would
have paid for their tuition and-that of
the next three generations of their sue
cessors making 300 in all, for period
of nearly ten years each.
If any doubt the connection between
ignorance and many Of the crimes emu
merated in the foregoing list, we refer
them to the facts stated on page 958 Of
our last number, and to the statis-
tics of nearly all the penitentiaries in
our own and other countries.-O Ohio

THE REMAINS OF MADAME SoNTAG.-
English papers publish the following ex-
tract from a private letter dated Vera
Cruz, October 4:
One great object of conversation here
for the last week has been Madame Som
tag. Her husband departed from Mexi-
CO Immediately after her death, leaving
the remains behind. The coffin con-
tanning them has been brought to this
place by one of the ordinary carriers
carts, like any common package, having
been valued in the carriers invoice at
5000. On its arrival here it was first
placed in the Church of st. Augustine,
but, being found offensive, it was taken,
without any ceremony, religious or
other, to a deserted church outside the
town, to wait the consent of some ships
captain to convey it to Europe. AS yet
none has been found who would admit it
into his vessel. Assuredly, if this poor
lady did not anticipate in her childhood
that she should become one day une
grand dame of worldwide celebrity,
she can have dreamt still less of the iu-
dignities her remains have been subject
to, such as the poorest peasant would
sacrifice everything to spare any mem
Der of his family.

ANorHER ISDIAs BurcHxRY-We
copy the following from the San Antonio
Ledger of the ed inst:
OF late we have been so often called
upon to tell of acts of savage cruelty
and bloodshed, that it has indeed be-
come a most hateful task. We had
hoped4hat the Forester tragedy would
not again be enacted in our midst But
we have now to repeat the same story
of blood and bsrbarity, and from pros
poets there may be vet many repetitions.
On Sunday evening, Mr.. St. Williams,
living on the Medina, about fourteen
miles from this city, was cruelty muir
dered by party of six Indians. II
seems that he had gone from his house
for water, and soon after his wife, hear
ing him shout for assistance, ran to the
spot, and found that the cruel work had
been done-her husband was killed
The Indians then came to the house,
robbed it of its contents, and carried off
their children. They left the house a
short distance, and sat down to enjoy a
feast served up with the most shocking
cruelty. Mrs. Williams followed them,
and by entreaty succeeded in getting
from them her two youngest children
The other, little girl. they would not
give up, but carried off with them, and
is still captive among them. They
also drove off the horses of Mr.. Viii
liams. Mrs. Williams started off for a
house almost frantic with
grief, scarcely knowing when or for
what she was going. After wandering
about, lost and bewildered, for the whole
of Sunday night, about daylight she
came up to the house of Mr.. Caruthers.
Several citizens of the neighborhood
started off Immediately in pursuit. We
have not yet heard whether or not it is
likely that the Indians would be over
taken, but would rather think that they
will made their escape.
The news reached our city about noon
on Monday, when company Of fifteen
or twenty regulars, under the command
Of Capt. Calhoon, was sent out to
spread "havoc and destruction" among
the whole Indian race! We shall ex-
pect very soon to hear of dreadful
slaughter of the red skinsl Indeed.
we may almost look for complete ex-
termination Of theml

The UNITED STATES sSESArE.-Twen-
ty-eiTht democrats have been elected
or hold over in the next United States
Senate. The legislature of South Caro-
lima, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, and
North Carolina, are democratic, and
will send six democrats more from those
States, there being taoo to be chosen
from North Carolina. making thirty-four
democrats certain out Of sixty-two
members, all of whom except four were
in favor of the Nebraska bill, and, it is
thought will be against the attempt to
disturb it. The opposition have eigh-
teen members elected. In addition,
they have the control of the legislatures
in Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin, and New York, and may
elect six Senator's in those States, in
creasing their force in the Senate to
t'0entytour. The New Hampshire legis-
lature, which viii have to elect two Sena-
tors, is yet to be chosen. The Senator
from Missouri is doubtful, and so is the
Senator from California. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that the democrats viii have
a working majority in the Senate in the
session of 1856. The House will
be largely in favor of the opposition.

DIR. DoDDRIGE's DYING song,
Said to have been composed, and oft
on his death bed.

Said to have been composed, and o
epeated, on his death bed.
While on the verge of life stand,
And view the scene on either hand,
Ny spirit struggles with its clay,
And longs to wing its fight away.
Where Jesus dwells my soul would be,
It faints my much loved Lord to see.
Earth, twine no more about my heart,
For tbs far better to depart.
Come, We angelic ENJOYS, come,
And lead the willing pilgrim home;
You know the way to Jesus throne,
Source of my joys and your own.
That blessed interview how sweet,
To fall transported at his feetl
Raised in his arms to view his face,
Through the full beaming of his gracel
Toyiew heavens shining courtiers round,
Each with immortal glories crowned;
And while his form in each trace,
Beloved, and loving all to embrace.
Aswith seraph's voice to sing,
Tofiy, as on cherub's wing;
Performing with unwearied hands,
A perfect Saviour's high command.
Yet with this prospect full in sight,
wait his signal for my flight;
FOt t is heaven begun, to know,
10 love, and serve my Lord below.

AFFECTING RoMANCE.--With the
death of Dennis Bryan, the young man
who died recently at Moreau from hav-
ing his legs crushed by the cars, is con-
nected an affecting bit of romance
which has been related to us as follows:
After his mangled limbs had been
amputated his mind arose to the terrible
consciousness that he must die, and he
implored the bystanders to "send for
his Lncy." "where is she? l must see
her before 1 die--let me see her and
can die in peace" were his frequent
CALCULATIONS and entreaties. His parents
were asked what he meant-if he was
married-to which they replied that he
was not, and that they knew nothing of
the person he named as "his Lucy"
After his death, it came to light that
he had been married about three months
to lady belonging to one of the first
families of Lansingburg. His wife's
parents had opposed their marriage on
the ground Of his lack of means, and
the consequence of this opposition was
the young couple were clandestinely
united, and their marriage kept pro-
found secret. Young Bryan had placed
all his earnings, $3.50, in the hands of
his wife, it being their intention, when
5000 had been accumulated, to public
ly announce their marriage. But, alasl
the day on which they intended to thus
claim and expected TO receive forgive
ness of offended parents never arrived.

ARR1soS.-As the public are interest
ed in the fate of this unfortunate man,
we called to see him yesterday, and
found him pacing the main hall of the
jail, apparently in deep meditation. On
his countenance there was pale hue
and care worn expression. His cloth
ing is of inferior quality and very care
lessly and slovenly put on, which with
his uncombed hair, unshaved face and
personal uncleanliness, give him not a
very prepossessing appearance. In con-
versation he is careless and trifing, and
treats the approaching trial of his case
with much levity. He says he knows
nothing of the nature of the defense he
will set up, but hopes to get clear; al
though, to use his own words, 81 fear
the result, for the public mind is so pre-
JUDGED against me that they will find
me guilty, evidence or no evidence. >
He converses but little with his COM
rades in the Jail, and allows but few
persons to see him. He declares that
if he could get out of Jail he would not
run away, but would set himself to
work in making proper defense, which
now is in the hands Of his attorneys.

CAss ON CLAY.-General Cass, in
his recent speech at Detroit, in reply to
the attack made on him by the Rich
mond Enquirer, thus alludes to Mr.
Clay:
l hold the name of Mr.. Clay in the
greatest reverence, and rank him with
the Wisest and purest patriots whose
services are written upon the history OF
our country, and whose memory is IN
delibly impressed upon the hearts of
our countrymen. Such men as Mr..
Clay may unite; they never conspire.
In the stormy period of $50 it was my
pride to cooperate with him, and to add
my feeble contribution to his gigantic
efforts in behalf of the integrity and
perpetuity of the constitution.
