III Something after the peace Of 1915,
distinguished officer of the English Navy
visited the Constitution, then just new at
Boston, for Mediterranean cruise. He went
through the ship accompanied By Captain
- Of our service. t
"Weil," what do you think of her?" asked
the latter, alter the two had gone through
the vessel and reached the quarter deck
aeain.
"She is As fine frigate, If not one of the
finest frigates ever put my foot on board
Off returned the Englishman, shut a. must
find some fault, I'll just coy that your wheel
is one of the clumsiest things ever saw, and
is unworthy OF the vessel"
Captain - laughed, and then explain
ed the appearance Of the wheel, saying:
"When the Constitution took the Java's
wheel was fitted on the Constitution to steel
with. and although we think il 40 ugly as
yen do, we keep il As trophy"

Brief and TO tho Point.


The Western correspondent of the Troy
N. Y. Wing. expressed his views of the re.
suit of the Ward case in the following strong
sentences:
MATTHEW F. WARD, THE MURDERER, HAS
EscAPEp.-Escaped what? Hanging;-the
hanging and double hanging that so unmiti-
gated an atrocity as he perpetrated deserved
and deserves.
Men high in station have presumed on that
station to shield them from the blistering in
fanny of having al led in his escape. And U
jury has been found, in Kentucky, 1--WE trust in
God that no other part of his footstool is dis
graced by holding so vile vagsbonds. )-ajury
we say. has there been found, Low ENOUGH 10
pcrjure themselves by rendering a verdict.
that no ons OF them believed, or even imagin-
ed, the truth.
We shave, however, an abiding reliance on
the fact, that, out of Kentucky, the crime and
criminal will be but the more unutterably de-
tested, BY reason of this denial of justice.
And it might be we'll for even "Kentucky
aristocracy'-(the sristocrscy made by rails.
ing hemp, and who ought to be raised by hemp,)
to rehec. that
"Hsaven Is above all yet. There sits Judge
That no one can corrupt"
that the mere "gstting a,Ddy from hanging
is not final escape even in this world. An
outraged people will be sure so to treat such
an unconuicted fellon, as to teach him how
Cain wandered, an oufcast. We would poi
say OF him who did "this deed of DEATH" tina,
he is
"Beyond the infinite and boundless reach Of mercy
But we do hold, and say, that civilized so.
ciety, out ofregard to it's own safety, nay, its
eristence, is bound TO set its marx on such a
man, and see that ne goes not "unwhipped Of
Justice"

o. We do not believe that a solitary
Northern Senator or Representative, who
shall cast his vote TO. the bill Nebraska bil.)
will have an opportunity, alter the expire
ton of his present term of service, to vote
for any measure except in his capacity of
private citizen.-l Lou. Jour.
Sueh ought to be the public judgment Of
the North, and we presume such will be its
decision. From Douglas down to Smith
Miller, the supporters of this bill in Congress
from the North, will feel the indignation OF
their constituents at the base subserviencs
to the South, which has marked their con-
duct. They will never again have the OPP
portunity of surrendering the interests of the
North and betrayng their own constituency,
merely to court favor with corrupt admin
istration. Mr.. Miller's case is settled. He
has openly declared himself for the Nebraska
Bill, and we doubt whether he will get six
votes in the Democratic nominating conven.
ton, although the majority composing the
convention may be supporters of the bill.

The Chairman of the National COLOMBIA.
ton Society, Hon. Elisha Whittlesy, has
made call upon the friends Of Colonization
for all, and suggests the proPriety of con-
structing at once line Of steamers to run
direct, between New York and Liberia. The
Washington Sentinel remarks, that this pro-
position is met with great favor everywhere
and the cause in other respects is in high
Iy fourishing condition. The utility OF this
great philanthropc enterprise is becoming
every day more developed. The important
and enduring results that are to flow from it,,
are becoming apparent to the most skeptical'
and the great mass Of community are little
aware of the vast amount Of money spent
annually in this cause, or the large number
of slaves exported.
All other modes Of emancipation have hith-
erto been attended with little or no success,
and it is very questionable whether all the
jealous labors of abolitionism have not re-
tarded rather than advanced the cause. The
indiscriminate manner pursued hitherto, has
not unfrequently b,en attended with disas-
trous consequences to the slave; imposing
suffering and increased degradation upon the
unfortunate subjects intended to be benefit
ted. Colonization is the only plan yet dis.
covered or adopted by which the freedom Of
the black slave has been made compatible
with his ha ppiness and best interests.
The scheme meets the appreciation oft
free colored population of the more intelli-
gent class, and has large number Of zeal
Gus coadjutors among them. This call ap-
peals to abolitionists, to relax their destruc.
tive and dangerous designs and accept this
safe and unexceptionable plan of accomplish
ing their schemes of benevolence. 1t con-
cludes with striking contrast OF the respec-
tive conditions Of the free negroes in Amer
lea and those already settled in Liberia, and
makes the condition Of the former in every
respect worse. Liberty brings with it to
him none of its Blooms and blessings-neith.
er respect, nor Independence, nor power, nor
knowledge, nor wealth. He is and must ever
remain, here, the pariah of our population
an outcast from the sympathies of those who
alone have the power to befriend him. The
more intelligent among the blacks, seem to
be conscious of this, and regard the Colonial
ton enterprise as containing the only hope
for their race"

40 The Louisville Journal gives the
statement of a member Of the late Medical
Convention at ST. Louis, relative to the
charge of Crittenden being Kissed in that
body. This statement is precisely similar 10
to that we published last Saturday from DR..
D. Morgan, OF this city. The Convention
did rot sacrifice it's dignity By any such con-
duct as Kissing Mr.. Crittenden, however
much its members may have thought he de-
served general rebuke.

the New York Press says:
Much is said Of the message Of the Presl-
dent today. 1t is not believed that it will
help him TO any great extent. Gov. Brown,
who might have been put down as one who
would support the veto on constitutional
grounds, was found Unexpectedly i'm the ne.
gative. He gave the Senate TO understand
that the. veto did not weigh one feather with
him. Jefferson Davis message certainly
ought to receive more consideration at his
hands.
Miss Dix, it ia believed. int nds to publish
a letter giving an account oil an interview
she had with the President, and will make
good the assertion that made some days
since, that the President declared himself
friendly to the INDECENT Insane bill, and ex.
pressed desire for its passage; that this in.
terview satisfied her that the only danger to
che bill was in Congress. II is understood
that she regards Davis as the author of the
message, and the main cause of the veto.
The message itself, understand, under
went several changes after it was decided to
make j.. As first written it was in type Two
days ago, but afterward was so much altered
that the copy for the Globe had u be TOR
nished in manuscript; and not then till after
it was read in tho Senate.

The markets are now little better attend
ed than they wefe short time since. but
there 10 small vsriety in the farm products
brought in. Radishes, Onions and lettuce
are to be found on every vegetable stand
and nothing else. II good gardener were
to start here, and supply our market with the
best quality of vegetables early, no could
make fortune in few years. In this eli
mate, we ought to have green peas, cucum-
bers, good asparagus and early potatoes
crowding our market at this time, or at least
easily obtainable by those willing to pay a
good price for the luxuries, and there is Plen-
ty of that Iiberali:y here. The vegetables
brought TO our market, prove that those who
bring them, with but few exceptions, know
nothing o.. the cultivation Of the articles or
what a really good article is. Even in the
common vegetables such as radishes, onions,
turnips, potatoes, &C., there is every differ.
ence in the world between the qualities. A
scientific gardener would at any time have
his stall cleared of his stock Of such vege.
tables before the gardeners who visit our
markets would sell dimes worth Of their
vegetable trash along side of him. We
would gladly welcome the arrival of some
really good gardeners in this vicinity. II
there is one attending our market, we don't
know him.

az When the Elephant went up the lake
on the steamer Lady Elgin, few days since,
weremarked that the huge traveller might be a
somewhat ugly customer on board boat. II
appears that on the passage the wheelsman
suddenly found difficulty in changing the
boats course. For, ting and pull, and bear on
as much ms he would, the wheel would not
bulge an inch.

"Aye, aye, sir" responded the wheelsman.
But still the helm was "bard starboad,' "
and the boat was taken turn into the mid.
die of the lake. The captain swore, and the
mate made for the wheel house. Pushing the
men aside, he took hold himself. 1t was o.
no use-tho mate was no more successful
than the wheelsman.
sport helm! Can't you see where the boa,
is going!" shouted out the captain.
The mate declared tn 1t something was the
matter with the wheel, as he could not still
il. The thing was perfectly inexplicablc
The engine was stopped, and master mate
and all hands went below to see what could
be the matter. After a search of some min.
utes, it was discovered that Mr.. Siam, the
elephant" OF the Menogerie, not liking the
noisy rafting of chains overhead, had taker
upon himself the responsibility of giving ,
new ",urn to affairs. With his trunk wount
round the chain, he was holding on with the
grasp CT vice, and it was with. some diff.
Guilty that the keeper persuaded him tha
such liberties could not be allowed. 1t i.
said that he behaved quite well during the

with great energy, and will soon be complet-
ed. A force of over FIVE thousand men is
employed upon the work. The length oil
the road already completed is over ,hiry-ons
miles, and the receipts of that part for the
month of March were $4,000. The estim.
ated cost Of this road, fully equipped, is ten
millions. The two steamship companies
connecting with it at either side of the 18th.
