A pArRIARcu.-Thef following account
of one of the "colored cilzens" of South
Carolina is given by the Savannah Ri ub-
lic1n;
Monsieur de Bordeaux is a native Of St.
Domingo. lie left that island when about
twenty five or thirty years old, during our
revolutionary war, in company with many
French volunteers, and was present at the
siege of Savannah in l776. lie took part
IN the struggle, and received a severe and
dangerous wound in the hip, which render
ed him a cripple for life. lie was near
Pulaski when he was wounded, and saw the
gallant Pole fall.-Aftcr the war, Monsieur
de Bordeaux returned to St. Domingo. He
left the island again, however, during the
instruction, and by a profitable mistake of
the captain Of the vessel in which he took
passage, he was a second time landed at
Savannah, where he spent many years with
his friend, the late Daniel Icons, OF this city.
Fifty or sixty years since he removed to
South Carolina, where he has resided ever
since. Monsieur de Bordeaux is consider
ably over ono hundred years of age still
he retains distinct recollection Of his yer.
nacular tongue, the French, and possesses
all the vivacity Of that nation, no one having
ever seen him depressed in spirits.

Difficulties in Kansas Territory.-Ws
observe by late Kansas papers that serious.
difficulties have arisen in the Territory be-
tween the Lawrence Association and Emi-
grafton Aid Societies and ,lre' ofiiinal
Squat,er's Association. Meetings have
been called and held by both sides, nnd
much abusive recrmination INDUCED in
The chief bone OF contention appears to be
that the Lawrence Association is charged
with attempting to monopoze the appro-.
priation of The public domain. The squat
tcrs are very savage against such an in
hamnatory character that they promise any
thing but perfect settlement of the new
country.-St. Louis Democrat.

"ful, Dress" for ladies' is delicate sub.
icct The Washington correspondent of
the N. y. Times, with evident trcpidalion,
thus allude, to the prevailing style:

brows which should much regret to see

gest that fashion, in this particular, never,
within my recollection, was so regardless
OF good taste, not 10 say OF modesty, as now
Ladies' evening apparel is anything but
"full' dress, in the literal sense--at least in
many instances. The unobjectionabIe ex-
posure OF the throat and neck, which re-
placed the stlfly starched standing collars or
ruflles OF olden times, has been caricatured
ot late, until now our lashonaby arraytd

next the skirt, and narrow strap from it

infinite dstaste which sensible men express
when speaking OF the prevailing fashion.

amiable and wcll.bred ladies' indulge in this
style thoughtlessly The mantuamaker

taste and fashion; and the gentle wearer,

unnatural apparel, stIfes her better judg-

DoN'T 10 ANY SUCH THMG.-A Mobile
paper publishes some verses addressed to q
beautiful woman of that city, who has just
started on tour in Europe. Among other
things, the poet gives her this advice:
"Go, peerless one, and on thy wandering way,
Tell kingdoms ,hou art Freedoms lovely daugh.
Now we advise her not to do any such
thing. II the kingdoms don't find it out
themselves, let them remain in ignorance OF
the fact.
Equally unsOund do we consider the fol-
lowing further counsel, rendered by the
poet to tho same lady:
"Be thou evangel Of thy sex proclaim
To scepIed queens their mis-, ion and their sphere,
Bid nature crimson with the glow of shame,
While Woman rules, and Mans content to fear"
We regard this as equally unsound, and
trut that the fair lady will make no such
proclamation, and give no such directions to
nature in general. We do no; believe that
the sceptrcd queens would pay any atten-
ton to il, and we do not see any good rea-
son why nature should trouble herself on
account of the fact stated in the last
line. Our advice, none the worse for be-
ing in plain prose, is, that the lady 60 out
and have good time, letting the kingdoms
and the queens and nature take care OF
themselves. es.--PrOr. Journal

The committee on resolutions made majority

the minority report took strong ground on both
questions. A motion to substitute the minor

vote of 10, nays 50. A motion was then made
to amend the majority resolutions by inserting
the minority Nebraska resolution, but it was
rejected-yeaS 46, nays so. The majority re-

cieties was passing through the streets n diff
Guilty arose between the turner's and a boy.
near the United States Hotel The alarm was
quickly raised by the Germans, who all rushed
back and threw shower of stones at the peo-
pie on the pavement. A general battle with
stones followed, and the turner's, being armed
with reviewers, commenced firing pistols, dis
charging about a dozen shots into the crowd
One young man was shot, and died in half
an hour. Several others were injured by shot
and stones, but none dangerously. A most
intense excitement followed. The police have
arrested some a turner's.
There is no sufficient excuse for the use of
pistols by the turner's, and public opinion is
decidedly against the action of the turner's.
