KNOXVILLE GLASS; The Abingdon Virginian
notices, as a singular fact that during the recent
hail storm in that place, nearly all the windows
exposed to the storm were broken, except those
of Knoxville glass. The Baptist church, with three
large windows fully exposed, escaped unframed,
whilst not solitary pane was left in the buildings
round it. This fact (says the Nirginian) caused
much conjecture, and some pious remarks. One
good Baptist brother observed, 1.-THE Lord will
take care of the peculiar people," whilst Me-

our next presidential election, will be infamed
to most dangerous excess.
But we are getting into deep water; and he
who endeavors to fathom the probable conse-
quences of this European war TO the nations
of Europe and to this proud republic, will be
lost, fo- there is no bottom to the grand chain
of momentous changes and results comprehend
ed in the issues of this transatlantic imbroglio.
But whatever the consequences may be, as
the parties are in for it, it would perhaps be as
we'll for Europe and America to let the belli-
gerants fight out their quarrel now to the end.
If the "ror populf' should rise, and take
hand in the game upon their own account,
God speed them. We may rely upon the
sound conservatism and patriotism of the Anne
rcan people of all nationalities, to come to
the rescue when the rights of the States are
invaded, or the integrity of the Union is at
stake.
Let US look for moment at the brighter
side of the picture. Ships are in demand.
They cannot be built fast enough. Seamen of
all kinds command the highest wages, and
enough cannot be had for love or money. Nu-
merous vessels are lying idle, from day to day,
while their masters and owners are endeayor
ing to drum up their compliments of men.
Mechanics and laboring men get their own
prices. Fifty thousand emigrants per month
are coming into this single port from poor old
Europe, adding thus much to the advantage of
our farmers as consumers of bread and pro-
visions, and a proportionate addition to the
substantial wealth of the country for labor
is the basis of all wealth. The only drawback
is in the prices of bread and provisions of all
kinds They are outrageously high; but this
state of things will, if it continues be met by
proportionate rise in everything else. The
laws of demand and consumption must sooner
or later bring about an equilibrium.
Here let us stop this heavy phlegmatic,
philosophical epistle. In day or two, hope
% give you one of lighter materials, and more
acceptable to the general everyday reader Of
rhe local affairs and gossip of this busy Babylon
Meantime muster up the south shoulder to
,houlder for battle along the whole line is
impending. UNCLE SAM.

~ ALFRED EVELYN


Hast ever coming down the street,
A doll in motion chanced 10 meelf
A pretty grown-up toy
Who walked as though he trod on eggs,
And feared 10 break them or his legs
A hsping lady boy?
With little mind, and little gains,
And little legs, and little brains,
And pinched-up hands and feet;
Smooth black moustache, and oiled hair,
And pants" squeezed into with saeh care,
So VerY tieht, so neat
Didst watch him well? How on his brow
Vert marked the years God doth allow
To make man; but yet his air
Bespoke the almost child's mind there!
He SCOTS at virtue, laughs at age;
"A duced borem lie calls the sage;
Nor would he deign 10 know
Such as demeaR themselves by toll;
The very thought his mind doth soil!
Most dainty lady beau
He worships beauty, praises grace,
Adores woman TO her face;
But whel the lady's past,
Declares her ugly as the devil!
Yet thinks he's been confounded civil,
And hopes she thinks him fast"
One who to weallhs shrine humbly kneels,
A lackey close al fashions heels,
Who waits on power, 10 rank bows low,
A slave 10 prde--a modern beau!

Later from Oregon.

We have received Oregon papers of May I'd
by the steamer Columbia, from Portland, two
weeks later.
just as we were going to press we learned,
by letter from David Birdsey, formerly of this
city, that the Indians on Rogue are fighting
among. themselves. The Applegate Indians
(so called) have killed Jim, the war chief of
the tribe that caused so much trouble with the
whites last year. The prospects are that
general 'cdr between the different tribes will
ensue. Ifso, it will save the whites the trouble
OF exterminating them Oregonian.
The Oregon Statesman (Salem) Of the I'd,
mentions two fatal accidents happening at that
town. Joseph Sylvester fell from his horse and
was killed; man named Hannen was killed
by the falling Of a tree.
