Mr.. SoULE.-The New York Pest saws:

We have good reason for believing that Mr.
Soul6 expects to return to the United States
within the next two months; that he proposes
upon his return to Madrid to demand some
official apology from the Spanish government for
the insult which our government is alleged to
have sustained in the Black Warrior case, and
presunng that his demand will be refused, he
intends to demand his passports and come home
at once.
In reference to the humble apology offered 10
the Spanish government by the owners of the
Black Warrior some time since, and which was
supposed to relieve our government from any
further concern in the matter, Mr.. Soule, it is
said, takes the position that the Black Warrior
was United States mail steamer, and that no
concessions on the part of her owners could re-
pair the damaged honor of the flag which the
steamer carried Whether this course has been
one Of the fruits of the Ostend conference or
result Of Mr.. Soule's own conviction Of his duty
under his Instructions, we are unable to say

A PRINTER IN THE PuLpIT.-Mr. Kavanaugh,
enc of the recently elected Bishops of the NJ.
f. Church South is a practical printer and
was several years since. al editor in Kentucky
There are butfew schools equal to composing
room, if its advantages are taken hold Of by
the learner Of printing with proper spirit. The
words OF the matter placed before him for COM
position, as well as the ideas and principles of
type-setting, for in transferring the matter to
type the printer divides every word into letters,
into syllables, into sentences, and finally reads
over the entire articles to insure its accuracy
A young man must be dullard indeed, if, with
this training, he fails to become thoroughly ac-
auainted with the structure of the language
Many, we know, fail to seize the tide of fortune
occurring in their affairs. We have no per-
sonal knowledge of Mr.. Kavanaugh but we
shall be greatly astonished if he does not reach
the honors that scholarship can bestow. Mr..
K. is not however, the only printer in the pulpit
Rev. Jesse B. Ferguson, Nashville, is thorough
printer; and his mind is largely indebted to
the art for its strength and versatility. He is
a most eloquent divine, and, albeit, young
man, he has already acquired national reputa-
ton for eloquence and successful oratory.

ST.. PETERSBURG EATING ARRANGEMENTs.-
We come to the pastry cooks, which offer the
piroga, an only fsh-cake, tempting morsel to
a Muscoyite. Little benches are placed around
tables, on which is put this dainty, covered with
only canvas, for it must be eaten hot pot
Of green oil and stand of salt are ready, and
on the entrance of a purchaser the cake is dip
ped into the jar, and being sprinkled with salt
is presented to him. But among the most sim
gular articles is the frozen meat-in winter
which the Russian butcher saws into slices of
about an inch or two in thickness Persons who
are unable to purchase whole bird for instance,
can buy wing, a leg, or any part he fancies,
by itself. X
The fayorite dish of the Russian is shtshee or
cabbage soup, made thus Six or seven heads
OF cabbage are chopped up and mixed with half
pound Of barley meal, quarter of pound
of butter, some salt, and two pounds of mutton,
cut into small pieces, with jug of guass.
With the poor the meat and butter are left out

The GorERSoRsHIP or UTAn.-Great curios-
ity exists throughout the country in regard to
the successor Of Brigham Young, as Governor
of Utah, and what is somewhat strange, and
what gives more interest to the question, none
Of the Know Ererythings at Washington can
offer the slightest information on the subject.
The horde Of applicants for everything and any
thing in the shape of an Office within the gift of
the Executive, are overwhelmingly modest and
timd on the Gorernorship Of Utah. The salary
is not SO large, but that every dime Of it would
be required for necessary expenses, and apart
from this fact, there appears to be none 50 ami
mated with zeal in their countrys canse, that
they are anxious to face the wrath of the great
Brigham, and the npopularity among the Saints
which will inevitably fall to the lot of him who
approaches the holy place with view of strip
ping their great pillar Of light of his mantle Of
office. Some appointment should be made, as
each days delay strengthens the impression Of
the naughty Mormon, that his threats and def
ance have had their effect, that the administra-
ton dare not supercede him True Delta.

OPIUM EATING.-We never could under
stand how people can get taste of opium
fastened on them. We tried small quanti-
ty of 1t the other day for a pain internally"
We were ordered 10 take two pills a day for
four days. The first dose was really deli
licious. l, gave US pink-tinged sleep, filled
to the brim with girls made of rose-leayes.
We INDUCED in dreams of the most oriental
order. In one of them We had mother-of-
pearl hand-shelL, with golden runners. With
this glided down rainbow made of ice
cream, and brought up on terrace, the sup
ports of which were great spars of emerald.
The second night things began to change.
Abont the supports of the terrace anacondas
began 10 appear, while in the distance lot
of green monkeys, with their tails burnt of,
were qnarrelling about the propfety of ma
king pin-cushion of us. The third evening
matters grew appalling. The terrace had
gone and so had the rainbow and the girls
made of rose-leaves; and in their stead we
had bed filled with rattlesnakes, and on
the head board four grizzly bares pulling at
hawser, 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 month seems really Won
derful. Rather than become confirmed
opium-eater we would throw ourselves into
Etna. We can imagine nothing more ter.

Loss OF Form HUNDRED LIvEs.-Among the
melancholy disasters of recent date, at length
it seems to be too true that the British trans
port ship Lady Nugent, which was chartered
early last spring, by the local government at
Madras, to convey reinforcements to the British
forces at Rangoon, the seat of the Burmese war.
and which sailed from Madras on the 10th of
last May. with $50 soldiers, accompanied by
twenty woven and children, q number Of officers
and thirty -seven Of the crew, have persisted with
all on board. Within q fortnight after her de-
partare, frightful hurricane swept over the
Bay Of Bengal, in which she must have founder
ed, as nothing has since been heard Of her,
though search has been made.

A RIGHTEous DEcIs1oN.-We copy the follow

ing from tie New York Express:
1.-TWO men, some time since, came passen-
gers On the Hudson River Railroad, at Sing
Sing said to be III state Of intoxication One
Of them took tie seat Of u passenger who-ha
temporarily vacated 1t, and subsequently re-
fused to give it up. Ihereupon the conductor
elected the offending parties, who then com
menced, in the presence of ladies and children,
using obscene language. To prevent further
mischief they were locked up in small room
until the cars arrived in the city. The conduc-
tor was sued by these men for assault, etc, but
the court fully justified what he had done, and
ordered the suit to be dismissed.

KIDNAPpING-The Maysville (Ky.l Ga
zette mentions an occurrence which took
place there few days since. Three
worthless fellows named Young, one of
whom lived in Ohio and the other two at
Maysville, entered a house near George
town, Ohio, al midnight, and under pre,ence
of being officers seized negro girl: and
bore her off TO Kentucky, with the view of
selling her into slavery and pocketing the
money. They were followed, however, by
four negro men, one Of whom crossed over
to Maysyille and gave information of the
outrage. The girl, who had been secreted
by her captors near Maysvlle. managed TO
escape, and gave to some of the citizens a
full description of the persons engaged in,
her abduction. The town soon became
excited, and many Of the citizens turned out
TO arrest the parties indicated They sue
ceeded in capturing the three brothers,
Henry, Lewis, and Allen Young, and,
forming procession, deliberately escorted
them across the Ohio river, aud delivered
them into the hands of the officers of the
law, to be dealt with and punished for the
offence of Kidnapping. The brothers were
all raised in Maysville, Kentucky, and are
the sons of highly respectable gentleman
of the neighborhood.

DESPERATE AFFRAY IN THE CHEROKEE
NATIoN-A desperate fight took place on
Saturday last, on the Saisaw, in the Chero-
kee Nation, about twenty miles from the
city between James and William daniels or
one side aud Josiah and Sam Starr on the
other. 1t appears that they had some diff
Guilty about horse race, when a quarrel
ensued, and James Daniels drew his revolv-
er and shot Josiah Starr through the abdo-
men, and then shot Sam through in the same
way. when they returned upon him and his
brother William, and killed James OH the
ground and cut William, in the chest in fif-
teen ortwenty places. Sam Starr died from
the pistol shot on Sunday night, and Joe On
Monday night. 1t is reported that William
Daniels is dead. A young man by the name
of Candy was wounded in the ARRAY with i
knife. 1t is supposed that he will hardly
live. James Daniels was a merchant in the
nation, aud stood very high in this place as
an honest trader
Since writing the above we learn from
reliable authority that William Daniels is
not dead, but is in fair way TO recover, and
that James Daniels was not killed by the
Stars, but was followed by crowd of per-
sons, who were present, and killed. 1t is
not known who committed the murder

EFFECTS OF RA1LRoADs.-Now, and for

EFFECTS OF RAILRoADs-Now, and Tor
some time past. our people have been eX-
periencing the beneficial effects Of raillo roads,
in one very important particular, and those
benefits will continue TO grow greater and
greater, as the roads penetrate farther and
farther into the interior. We aliude to
marketing, to Indispensable domestic sup
plies, which have been heretofore OF poor
quality and commanded enormous prices,
making New Orleans one OF the dearest
places in the country III which to live, when
in realty, it ought to be as cheap as the
cheapest, and as good as the best
Both the Opeousas and Jackson Railroads
are beginning to remedy this crying evil,
under which we have so long labored and
they will remedy it by another autum.
They are bringing, weekly, thousands OF
eggs-.ffesh, country eggs, think OF that.
thousands of ducks, hundreds OF turkey,
venlson, chickens, etc, TO say nothing OF
sweet fresh butter occasionally, as we'll as
many other articles. all of which are lndls-
pensabe to our comfort and subsistence.
So far these arrivals have not perhaps, had
any tangible effect on the market; but
another year will tell different tale, as
thousands of country people will 90 TO
gardening, to raising poultry, establishing
dairies, aud the cuilivating of hundreds Of
Kings, on which they can realize far
greater profits than they ever have on the
production of cotton and corn. Thus, all
parties will be advantaged. We will obtain
better supplies at cheaper rates, and the
farmers will make more money by furnish
ing them, Then, again, the bugbear Of the
high price of living will be done away with,
aud people will come 10 New Orleans with
out fearing that they will be impoverished
by the cost of few weeks or months board.
There has never been any doubt in our
mind from the commencement, that the
citizens of New Orleans would save at least
the annuel interest on their railroad bonds,
soon as those roads penetrate from one
hunqred and fifty to two hundred miles into
the interior, by cheapness in marketing
We believe the saving will be much greater.
The market statistics from 1852 to 1856, if
such were preserved would afford matter
for much curious speculation; if not reliable
data upon which to found incontestible az
gutnents in favor of Observation-Disclosures.

CRAMP.-Those who may be subject in the
night to that excruiating pain called cramp may
be secure against its attacks by tying any kind
of bandage very tightly round the leg, imme-
diately above the knee; or it may be remedied
by breathing forcibly, and taking long respira-
tons, thus exciting the action of the lungs, by
which means the whole system will be animated,
and in less than a minute the disorder will be
abated and the pain effectuaIlY removed.

DIscIpLINE ON SHIpBoARp.-At meeting of
the Boston Marine Society, on Tuesday week,
the Boston Courier says:
The subject Of ocean disasters was discussed
briefly by Captain Sleeder, Thomas Lamb, ESQ.,,
G. Curtis, Esq, and Mr.. Wellman. 1t was
agreed that the sad loss of life on board the
Arctic was owing mainly to the want of dis
cipline on board that ship, and since Congress
had taken away all the means of enforcing
obedience on board ships, it becomes necessary
now tor merchants, masters and underwriters to
counsel together, and devise some plan for the
better safety of life and property. The whole
subject Was referred to committee of r. B.

Thanksgiving.

Almost all Of our Northern exchange!
! Jus, now contain some notice OF the grea
annual festival. known as Thanksgiving
/ A majority of the States in which 1t Is
observed, and they comprise nearly all II
/ the Union. will observe the Both OF the
| present month. A few anticipate that day
| and one or two follow it.
1t has been observed to some extent in
Louisiana for three or four years past, bul
not until late in January. Our harvests are
not gathered until them and thanksgiving
cannot be properly appointed before the
! crops are gathered and housed.
In point of fact Thanksgiving" as a
festival, is not yet thoroughly naturalized in
any of the Southern States, nor we'll COM
pretended by many of those that nominalIy
observe it. 1t is a peculiarly Northern
institution. begotlen of Puritanism and cold
weather, and prosperous only where the
thermometer sinks below zero. 1t was
originally religious celebration, but has:
i'll the lapse of time, acquired social char
acter, which almost merges It's former in
throughout New England and the Middle
States a grand family reunion and festival =,
a day out of all the three hundred and sixty
five specially devoted to domestic enjoyment
and qualification; a social jubilee and
observance The time of its occurrence
witnesses the return of brothers and sisters
long separated, and the reunion of families
long and widely divided. The old home
grows grand with an immensely Of prepare
ton old friends come back again. old seats
are reoccupied. Hen-roosts become de-
populated, and pantries groan beneath the
weight of unaccustomed deicacies. A few
days of relaxation are spent with those who
are nearest aud dearest, and then business
and the unavoidable duties OF life separate
for twelve more months the keepers of
Thanks giving.
There are many reasons why this festival
is not likely ever 10 become 10 the Southern
States what it is to the Northern. The
Holidays take its place here and are OBJ
served in its stead. Families are not SO
widely separated and reunions are more
frequent There is wanting also that IN
describable effect of age and tradition
which halIows such occasions in the minds
of men and renders them desirable of obser-
vance. We are unable, however, to peruse
all the proclamations that reach US and
think over all the pleasures about to occur
without feeling wish that we had some
thing TO stand in its place or that we might
travel northward and fraternize with our
brethren there in the most peculiar festival
of all the year.
