No DlFFERENcE.-We were standing 10
crowd near court house, in one of the wes-
tern counties of this State, at the time of the
Congressional campaign, two years ago, when
we witnessed the following scene :--One of
the candidates for Congress, tall, rather
good-looking, and long-nosed gentleman, with
the hoary locks of age clustering round his
temples, and who, by-the-by, was perfect
stranger in the county, had shaken hand with
nearly every man in the dense crowd, and
inquired after their wives and children with
all the familiarity of long acquaintance
He saw one man however, at the very cut
skirts Of the assembled multitude, with whom
he had not yet spoken. Elbowing his way
through the throng, he came to where the un-
spoken-to individual was standing, and apol-
ogised to him for not having paid his respects
to him sooner. " It don't make bit Of diff
ference, said the outsider, 81 ain't a going
to vote for you no how" Our candidate left
there as quickly as his legs could carry him.

A certain preacher of universalism had
been preaching in a country school-house for
several successive sabbaths, to convince the
people that there was no hell AT length it
was announced that at his next meeting COL
lection for his benefit. The day arrived and
the collection was taken up in hat. When
the " deacon had passed through the congre-
CATION, and given all an opportunity togeon.
tribute, he returned to the pulpit and grayely
emFtied the contents of the hat upon the desk
before the preacher. And such " collec-
tion!" A few coppers, with old buttons,
pieces of tin, broken jewsharps, horse-nails,
and almost every WORTHLESS thing that man
could carry to church in his pocket The
preacher was thunderstruck but, recovering
his self-possession in moment, and gazing
upon the collection, before him, exclaimed,
well, am not SO certain whether there is o
hell or not, but I am certain there ought to
be one for such fellows as you are" and ia
king his hat and left the house. 1854

GEN. PELIssIER.-The correspondent of
the New York Times thus discourses on the
new Commander Of the French army in the
Crimea
Pelissier is thought to be eminently the
man for the situation, and well.knoWn act
in his career in Africa would seem to sustain
this opinion. He was the author of piece
of atrocity in Algeria, in 1s45, absolutely
without parallel in the annals of modern
civilized warfare, and with which all Christ
endom rang at the time He was then
Colonel, and was pursuing with body of
troops, the tribe of Ouled Riahs, yet unsub-
dued and possessing secure retreat in a
series of labyrinthine caverns They fed to
this asylum, and Pelissier caused the mouth
to be filed up with fagots and wet straw. He
threatened the Arabs with suffocation, unless
they surrendered and gave up their arms and
horses. A frightful tumult was now heard in
the caverns, caused as was afterwards learned,
by quarrel upon the question Of surrender.
They resolved by large majority to die rather
than submit The inhunan Frenchman at
once caused the green branches and vet straw
TO be kindled. Some Of the women and
children sought to escape, but were shot by
their own husbands and fathers, who knew
what their fate would be in the hands of their
captors. Some Of the French soldiers stopped
| up their ears to deaden the appalling cries Of
the victims, while others ran away from the
terrible scene. When the FIRE was extin-
guished, the French entered the cavern. It
| was Strewn with dead bodies trampled under
foot and piled into heaps. Some were found
standing up with their faces jammed into
clefts, where they had died, gasping for air.
Many had dropped into chasns, beyond reach
Others were killed by falling masses ef red
hot stone. Others were trodden to death by
the cattle which had taken refuge with them.
Out Of one thousand men, women and chill.
dren, but thirty seven escaped and thus the
4 whole tribe was exterminated. i6 @
