OF About two thirds of tho Southern
papers are talking as glibly and huently
about the destruction of the Union rs
though that event was to happen tomorrow.
1t seems to us that their editors might find
much better employment for their pens than
inditing articles calculated to familiarize the
minds of the people will, catastrophe
which they have been taught 50 believe could
never come upon tho country. II is almost
sinful even to dream Of such u contingency,
much less to be continually prating on the
subject as though it was something actually
to be desired. We can account for such u
course on no other ground than a barrenness
of brain that can find nothing else to write
about.

THE SEVENTH TRIAL.-There has always
been, says the New York Herald, u mystic
reputation for the number seven, and al.
though the number of believers in such
things may be less in these latter days than
formerly, yet they will all notice that the
French attack on the Malakof was only sue
cessful on the seventh assault. The ami
able Pelssier must believe in number seven,
for his first start in life was when he was
thrown, BY request, into an Arab fort, from
which the French troops had been six times
repuscd. In the Crmca he probably remem.
befed this: and the story of Bruce, who,
when prisoner, watched Il spider building
his web; six times the spider attempted TO
fasten one of his supporting cab.es-six
times the spider failed, but the seventh he
was successful. The Scottish King took
heart of grace from the perseverance Of the
insect. He had been six times defeated, but
the seventh was the battle of Bannockburn,
quite as important in that day rs the Nal.
akofi. These condolences are interesting,
and convey good lesson. There are Maa-
koffs in every mans path, and if he will but
perscvcre till the seventh time, he will be
sure to have them at last. Pcrsevere to the
end.

MANUFACTURING AMERICAN CIT
IZENS.

The Baltimore Patriot gives very inter-
esting and no doubt truthful account o. the
way in which aliens are manufactured into
good American citizens. just before an clrc-
ton, in the cities. Here it is:
If any of our readers are DESTROYS of Wit
Messing the process of fabrcating American
citizens, out of the very raw,st materials,
they can have their curiosity gratitied by II
visit to either of the Courts now in session.
We will not promise that their vinliy shall
be hattered 10y the exhibition, or that they
shall not feel "a rising of the gorge" aS they
observe the facility with which monarchica
subjects are transmitted into Republican SOW
errigns.
Ii they enquire rs we did yesterday, Of the
very courteous clerk of the criminal depart
ment how many newly made citizens he has
daily taken toll for, Mt his particular mill, that
obiging public officer will peremptOrily de-
cline to give any information whatever upon
the subject, unless his palms are tickled with
an appropriate fee, when he will generously
furnish the applicant with full catalogue OF
the Guttleib's and lIeinrichs, the Pats and
Terencc's, who have passed muster during
the present session, and, if requested, we are
confident, will really take upon himself the
enormous troubling of introducing his broth
er quill, in the neighboring Court, who will
also, doubtless, profess himself quite as ready
to furnish a similar calendar, and-ior similar
con.sid-e ration.
One little specimen-we wish we could
say it was solitary One-0f the Tcutonc
grist which is daily being converted into
American meal, was exhibited yesterday, and
we take pleasure in recording the fact that
TO charge was exacted for the show. A Ger.
man, who could talk no English, made appli.
cation to be naturalized through an interpreter
scarcely one whit more cOnversant with the

whether the candidate would conform TO Re-
publican institutions, his sponsor boldly re-
piled, Eight years" When the question
was repeated, the interpreter shook his head
and responded ''lch can nicht un'standt."-
One Of those prompters, ever ready on such
occasions, now hustled up TO give the per
picked Tcnton the proper cue; but his inter
ference was rightly rebuked by the Judge
and as the witness, shortly after managed Ia
eXclaim-"Ohl ya.a as-ya-a-as!" the eXamn
alton was pronounced satisfactory and in
