kE II is asserted on apparently good
authority. that there are ffty-tvo shous-
and Knog Eotkings in Eastern Virginia.
In Western Virginia they are numerous,
and increasing rapidly. When it is re-
membered that the State gave less than
$50, 900 votes at the last Presidential
election, it can be seen where Wise win
land.

THE LAST Hours OF NIcHoLAs.-T

The LAST Hours OF NICHoLAs.-The
Tribune relates the following:
at seems that the deceased Emperor
took a severe cold. reviewing some new
regiments. His physicians did not, al
first. deem the case grave; but soon a
violent grippe manifested itself, followed
instantly by an Inflammation of the
lungs. The disease was first discovered
to be really dangerous on the lst of this
month; and the Emperor, aware of its
character, told his doctor that he felt
his time was come. His wife and son
Alexander were constantly with him.
When one of his physicians, DR.. Mandt,
told him that there would, probably. be
paralysis of the lungs, he asked quick
ly: When shall be paralyzed?' He
demanded, in Russian, Of his other ply
sician: When shall | be suffocated?'
This occurred early on the morning of
the cd inst. He then went through re-
ligious duties-taking the sacrament
and bade his wife, children and grand
children farewell, giving to each Of
them the benediction, with clear voice.
and with full and quiet consciousness.
In the evening he took farewell of all
the persons belonging to his Court
The Empress, his son. (now Emperor,
the Grand Duke Constantine, the Counts
Adlernurgh, Orloff, the Prince Dolgo-

| TIM LIFTING CLouD.-It may Be re-
marked as sgeneral fact that the. ahard
times, /" which EaSe soshsayily aEiietsd

and so oppressive, that recently lowered
upon our city. are breakirg rising and
lssattering. Tx, radiant bow OF hope
CLEANS upon their departing skirts; and
glimpses of clear skies give promise OF
milder. brighter. and better days.sThe
soup houses are no longer thronged by
the famishing poor; and the beggars in
the streets are subsiding. We hear OF
no more clamor for bread, OF for work;
and as all the departments Of trade and
industry are resixing, e=believe every

For the artizan--the mason, the car
penter. the painter. there is every pros
'pect of busy time the coming season.
The under-rste. the go-ahead spirit of
the age. who suppose that New York is
a finished city"-that the demand for
houses and stores is net, equal to the
supply. On the contrary, we are pre-
pared TO witness, after the first of May
next, greater demolition Of old houses
Ito be succeeded by splendid stores
than ever before; and to see the founda-
tons laid for greater number of pala-
tial mansions up town than during any
previous year. The "hard times" have
not deprecated the value of real estate
in any Of the fashionable or favorite To-
calities of the city. 1t is true, there
was time, some three or four months
ago, when business men had to sacri-
fee houses and lands to raise money
but now the tide has turned; and in
stead of paying brokers bonus to raise
money on bond and mortgage, the cap
italist is willing to pay bonus for the
investment. In other words, the lender
is in the market instead of the borrower.
The consequence of this state of things
viii be that the men who own lots will
build upon them, and convert their un-
improved property into property that
will yield an income.
But there is large class of poor men
who hang about the city, waiting for
something in the shape Unemployment
to "turn up" who are not artizans, or
arti6cers. They are mostly Irish, who
are hardly fit to carry hod. These
natives of the bog are only useful at the
simplest sort of labor. They can dig,
and shovel dirt, and that is about all.
Their natural occupation is only to be
found in the country; and the unpeo-
pied, uncultivated West is the fttest
field for them. There they can live in
a paradise of potatoes, and indulge in
their own gastronomic affection for pig
to their hearts content.--N y Mirror.

NASHVILLE, March 3O.-The State
Penitentiary is in ruins. At three
o'clock this morning a fire broke out,
originating in the cabinet department Of
the penitentiary. The flames spread
with great rapidity, and in short time
that entire portion of the building. set
aside for various branches of trade,
was a burning mass. The east wing Of
the main building caught, and was so
much damaged as to render it useless.
The cells were all thrown open, and the
prisoners conveyed to an enclosure in
side of the walls. A convict named
Conner was smothered to death. Not
single convict escaped from prison
All the tools in the different shops, with
all the work, were destroyed. Loss
estimated at 100000.
DIED--In Gallia county, Ohio, on
the 18th of March, 1855. after an i'll
ness of FIVE weeks, MARGARET F..
WooDs, wife of James Fletcher.
The subject of this brief notice was
born the 2ist of August, 1881, in Au-
gusta county, Va. She bore her suffer-
ings with Christian fortitude, and when
told that her end was nigh, she ex-
pressed her willingness to die, and that
her trust was in the Savior. In the last
hours of her earthly existence, she gave
the most unmistakable evidence that
she was passing to that bright and hap
py cline beyond the Jordan OF death,
prepared for the faithful. So she died.
She was kind friend, loving wife,
an affectionate mother, and beloved by
all who knew her. D. r. +.

SIR: From the newspapers during the
last few days, and from other sources, /
am inclined to believe that persons in
this city are engaged in recruiting men
and shipping them to some place out Of
the jurisdiction of the United States
with the intent there to be formed into
regiments to serve in the present war of
France, England and their allies, against
Russia. t | -Fs
The United States are happily at peace
with all the Nations Of the World.
The continuance of peace to our coun-
try depends upon the strict enforcement
of the neutrality laws of their fullest
extent. This duty we owe TO ourselves
and to ali Nations with whom we are in
amity. beg. therefore, to call your at
tentiOn to the second section of the Neu-
trality Act of 1918. which provides that
"If any person shall within the-ter-
ritory or Jurisdiction of the United
States. enlist or enter himself, or hire
or retain another person to enlist or to
enter himself, or to go beyond the limits
or jurisdiction of the United States,
with intent to be enlisted or entered on
the service of any foreign Prince, Colo
ny, District or people as a soldier, a
mariner or seaman on board Of any let
ter of marque or privateer, any person
so offending shall be deemed guilty of a
high misdemeanor, and be fined not ex-
ceeedIng $1,000, and imprisoned not
exceeding three years"
wish you to use such measures as
may be at your command to prevent
any violation of the laws of the United
States which are passed to preserve our
neutrality.
Twill cheerfully cooperate with you
in such measures as you may adopt to
prevent the infraction of this important
safeguard to our national peace and
prosperity.
Very respectfully your obedient servant,

BALTIMORE, March 30.--The southern
mail has arrived. The Isabel arrived
at Charleston; she brings Havana dates
to Sunday. Much excitement prevails
at Havana. Don Ramon Pinto was ex-
ecuted on the 92d inst. To such a
pitch has the feeling on the subject
reached5 that The Captain General has
not been seen in public since that event.
The body, instead of being exposed the
usual time, some twelve hours, was re-
moved within three hours, the indigna-
ton evinced by the populace rendering
the measure peremptorily necessary.
This state of affairs was brought
about in consequence of the vindictiye
conduct of the Captain General, some
inlormality having taken place on the
trial. The minister of war was re-
quested to countersign the death war
rant on the ground that the evidence
convicttng Pinto had emanated from
one who had served two apprenticeships
at the chain-gang.
The Captain General thereupon con-
vened council of four, and after due
deliberation, two declared themselves
in favor of death, and two for acquittal.
The casting voice was thus left with
the Captain General who condemned
his former Secretary and friend to the
garote. Hence the indignation.
The trial Of Estrampes and Felix was
to have taken place early this week.
The Consul, Col. W. Robertson, had
protested most energetically against
their trial and insisted on their liberia
ton; the result of the application was
not known when the Isabella sailed.

all these noble faculties cultivated and pre-

nothing; WITH no influence over che public

his neighborhood-to be regarded as q

and greenness: -4qaIa.gt4 .s5gsa31 a@oi
p" Some two weeks since, a young gentle
man from one Of the southern states, came
to W ashington, to endeayor to obtain An
appointment in one OF the new regiments
about being raised-for Mexico. 1t was his
first trip to the north, and having travelled
straight through from ATLANTA TO Wash
ington, without stopping onthe road, he had
better opportunity of feeling than seeing the
effect produced by change of climate. On
the day after his arrival he was introduced,
by the. member from his district, TO several
young ladies. with one ofwhom it fell TO
his lot to walk from Gadby,s to Che cap o..
The lady was provided with a ponderous
muf, now SO fashionable an article OF dress
at the north. Our hero was in dilemma
what 10 allit, or for whatquTpose It was
used, he did not know. But one thing he
did know, and that was. that it was any
thing but polite for a gentleman to allow
lady to bear such a burthen. He scrutini-
zed it with much uneasiness for some time
-he could not divine what It contained, but
he was perfectly familiar with the 'kiver,
and unable longer to restrain his gallantrv,
he extended lis hands, saying,
