Love OF FLowERs.-ln all countries women
love flowers in all countries they form nosegays
of them; but it is only in the bosom of plenty
that they conceive the idea of embellishing their
dwellings with them. The cultivation of flowers
among the peasantry indicates revolution in all
their feelings. 1t is delicate pleasure which
makes its way through coarse organs; it is crea-
ture whose eyes are opened it is the sense of the
beautiful, a faculty Of the soul which is awaken
ed; colors, forms, odors are perceived for the
the first time, and these charming objects have at
length spectators. Those who have travelled in
the country can testify that rose tree under the
window, honey-suckle around the door of a
house, is good omen to weary traveller. The
the supplcations of the poor, nor against the
wants of the stranger. Flowers may be called
the alphabet of angels, wherewith they write on
hills and plains mysterious truths.-Canodian Ag-

THE MONUMENT TO THE SIGNERs.-Both branches
of the legislature of Georgia have passed bill
to aid in the erection of the monument in Philadel
phia in honor to the signers Of the Declaration of
Independence. This makes seven States; and
Massachusetts, will probably respond before the
adjournment of the legislature.

yThe st. Louis News say Furs and petry
have declined amazingly in the market within the
past two or three weeks. The decline has been
so to 100 per cent on many kinds of fur. The
war with Russia is assigned as the cause. A large
lot of coon skins sold yesterday from 10 to 30
cents; mink at "a to 40 cents opassum at 80
cents each; otter at so cents to 50 35; deer skins
at 16 cents per pound.

EyFIt is stated that Mr.. Soule, our minister to
Spain, demanded 100000 as indemnity for dam
ags to the Black Warrior. Probably Spain will
demur to this exhorbitant price, and then there
will be good ground for war. This is what the
'smanifest destiny" party would like, and if they
can only make the thing work, their highest am
bition would doubtless be gratifed.
The EcLrPsE.-We were debarred the pleasure
of witnessing the great eclipse in consequence of
the clouds which obscured the sun. About
O'Clock, however, whenever the sun was visible,
a small spot could be discerned where the moon
appeared to be crossing it, but anything further
could not be seen. With the clouds and the
eclipse, at four O'Clock it quite dark, so much
so that Shanghai rooster near our Office kept up
a continual Growing.

FROM LAKE SUPERIOR.-Hon. D. G. Morrison,
a member of the last Legislature, just arrived
from the mouth of the st. Louis river, informs us
that provisions at that point had been very scarce
but that vessel was daily expected whose cargo
would in measure relieve the inhabitants from
the privations they had endured. We are happy
to learn from Mr.. Morrison that the mining ope-
rations were good, and that excellent health pre-
vailed among the miners as well as among the In
dians. He had heard of no cases of small pox.-
But one death had occurred, that of a Mrs. Ro-
gers, from natural causes. Strangers were COM
ing in very rapidly.
The distance from the mouth of the St. Louis
river to st. Paul is $50 miles, which distance Mr..
Morrison travelled over in twelve day, notwith-
standing he experienced very inclcment weather.
He came by the way Of Sandy Lake and Crow

Pulpit and Politics.

In the name of Almighty God!'
1t would be amusing. if it was not so
painful to witness 50 much sycophancy,
ahjectness: and hypocrisy, tosce the great
ado made by the shareholders, and their
Northern pandererS and toadies, about
the commingling of religion with politics.
Clcrgymen have been bcrated most sound
ly for preaching so that political truth
could by any possibility be dcduccd from
their words. And the whole country
has been startled at the anathcmas heap
ed by Southern Senators and their North
ern slaves upon those clergymen who
dared to petition Congress ''In the name
of Almighty God!' MonstrousI Sacrc-
ligious! And insult to God, and an out
rage upon men,

ccived-at least we are so oblivious as
not to appreciate it. And especially after

Catholics and Free Schools.

A friend put into our hands the Ofica-
go "Netc CorendRt," with the request
that we would publish an article therein
contained entitled Catholicism against
Free Schools. a sermon by Rev. A. II.
Abbott, of Pawtucket R. L.,
/ The article in question is an excellent
one for the matter under discussion, and
if we thought it worth while to start
now acontroversy on the point, we should
publish it with pleasure. But we think
there is little danger to be apprehended
where the discourse fears much. We
know that some Catholics are opposed
to Common Schools supported at the
public expense and desire a separation
and division Of the funds to the end that
their own sect may have its Independent
share for its own uses, but we do not
think this feeling is common to the body
of them. They are satisfied with free
and common schools, requiring only
that whilst their own peculiar tcnets are
excluded, others shall,not be directly or
indirectly propagated. Believing this,
we do not apprehend except occasionally
perhaps in particular localities, from par
ticular causes, there will ever be any
great agitation, excitement, or danger on
this point; and particularly in this State,
where there are so many guarantees
against it, do we think there is not only
no danger, but that the matter will new
er even be agitated. Entertaining these
views with the additional fact that the
article in question is long and could in
terest but few of our readers, we trust
will be to our friend, whom we arc most
willing to oblige, sufficient excuse for
its nOn-appearance.

a Letter from a Patriot.

Our readers cannot have forgotten the
famous Alabama plantation letter of J ohr
a1itchell. We take pleasure in giving be.
low the letter of an italian Patriot. be-
tween which and the former our readers
will notice remarkable contrast. and by
studying both they will see clearly how
great is the difference between true and
sham patriotism. The letter is in reply
to an invitation to attend an anti-slayery
meeting in England:
DEAR SIR: | have delayed to the pres
ent moment answering Your kind invita-
ton, IN the hope that | should perhaps
be enabled to give better answer than

"Wednesday Morning, June D.
Coal-..Cnal Yard.

{
| At the present time the matter of flu
ell is no inconsiderable item of expense
Seven months in the year, people need
fires in their rooms. to keep warm. And
built as almost all our western wood hou-
ses are. with single floor and the thin
nest kind of wall it takes good deal OF
fire to keep one comfortable.
Oak wood is now nominally selling at
| 50, so, S2,75, to $500 a cord here; and
maple and hickory at $3.50, to $500 ;
but like all commodities not susceptible
Of easy measurement, when the demand
is greater than the supply, the buyer is
put off with short measure. And we
may therefore put down the price Of the
wood sold at this time in this City at
$500 to $500 cord.
This runs the cost of fuel up to high
figure-so high as to be very burden
some tax.
And we think the time has arrived
when the introduction of Btuminous
Coal, for~domestic fuel, can be most pro-
fitably done. If Coal Yard was open
ed here, we doubt not it would prove
very profitable to the protector. Coal
can be sopurchased at Erie, or Cleveland,
that it can be brought here and sold at
$500 ton, and a good profit made.
And one ton of good coal Is equalt to three
cords of wood. For public rooms, stores,
and Offices, it is much preferable to wood.
1t makes quicker, steadier fire and re-
quires much less trouble. And the in
vention in coal stoves have been so great
and so perfect, that for cooking purposes
coal can be clcanlly used.
We suggest that some of our forward
ing and shipping men open a coal yard,
and prepare supply of good coal, pre-
vious to the setting in of cold weather.
1t will be a good speculation, and will be
a good thing for the people.-D.

DELEGATES To MADISON.

= The Free Democrat thinks the fare on
;he Rail Road will be reduced to half price
20 accommodate the delegates TO Madison
% the Convention of the 18th. fit were
doubled instead Of reduced we should
nevertheless have large delegation from
this section, but we hope the Company
may do as suggested, as beyond question
it will have the effect to induce many to
attend who otherwise would not. We
call the attention Of our countlt friends
to the fact that the time now required
10 so from this place to Madison is but
half day, and that probably two days
would be the extent they would be re-
quired to BE absent in attending the Con
vcntion. Some eight or ten in this CITY
have already signilied determination to
to attend-and we hope every town in
the County may be represented. A good
lift at the start, with our shoulders to
the wheel, will do wonders for final sue
cess.
Since writing the above we received
the Milwaukee Sentinel, containing the
following:
