WOMAN AND PoRpoIsEs Well, it's the natur'
o porpoises, when she one gets wounded,
that all the others race right arter her, and chase
her to death. They show her no mercy; human
natur' is the same as fish natur, in this partic-
ular, aud is as scaly, too When woman gets
a wound from an arrow, shot out by scandal,
or envy, or malice, or falsehood, for not keep
in her eye on the compass, and shapin' her
course as she ought to, men women, boys, par
sons, and their tea-goin gossippin' wives, pious
gals, and prim old maids, all start out in full
cry, like pack Of bloodhounds, after her, and
tear to pieces; and if she earths, and has the
luck to get into hole fast, they howl and yell
around It every time she shows her nose, like
so many imps of darkness. It's the race Of
charity to see which longlegged, bilious-lookn'
critter can be in at the death fust. They turn
up the whites of their eyes, like ducks in thun-
der, at fox hunt; it's so wicked but gal hunt
they love dearly--it's serving the Lord.-[sam

was discovered that the bag had been cut open,
and nearly all the letters taken from it.
Upon Investigation it was ascertained that the
bag was cut open about sixteen m les from this
city, as the letters began to drop evidently
thrown Quit along the road from that point on
70 Grafton station, leaving an almost unbroben
track behind. AT Grafton, two men have in
formed Deputy r. N, Gray, that they saw man
come upon the platform and throw off what APP

How TO START MELoNs.-A correspondent of

for this purpose my plan for obtaining early

work ofwillow, or other twigs, something like
birds nest, without the inside filling up. Make
hole in the soil Of the hot-bed of sufficient size
to admit the basket fill up, plant and cover the
seeds, rake and smooth the surface-When the
weather is warm enough and sufficiently settled
to admit Of outside planting, make my hills, and
carefully remove them to their places, where
they quickly strike through the open network
of the basket into mother earth. and soon repay

Am Honest AvOWnl,
The Great Points of the Slavery Issue.

A Washington letter writer, dating on the LIST
instant, says:
Judge Warner, of Georgia, made to-day in
the House COMMITTEE of the Whole) the ablest,
calmest, most thorough and effective Pro-Slayery
speech of the session. He assumed that slave
labor impovrishes and exhausts soils that contin-
ued expansion is essential to its existence and
must be had. He wanted no federal law for
slavery--it made the law for ITSELF"
We have here the great issue of the slavery
question fairly stated by an out-and-out advocate
of slavery extension. The evil must be extend
ed or it must cease to exist. OF course it is no
secret that this is the logic of the whole party of
extensionists at the South but is not often that
an advocate of the policy avows his motive so
broadly. Now and then an individual has the
effrontery to declare that slavery works we'll
economically, and that the Southern States are
much more prosperous than those OF the North !;
that Southern society is on a safer and better
basis and that at all events, the nation could
not exist without Southern cotton. The CAL
houn school take high ground, and argue from
the inherent differences of the white and black
races, that the one ought to rule and the other
to serve forever. We will not say that here and
there an individual may not be honest in hold
ing these opinions, and these perhaps hold them
all the more firmly because no sane man can be
found who will seriously undertake their rcfuta-
ton.
But We like better the honest position of Judge
Warner. Slavery is weak-has no Inherent sup
ply of vitality--and must have a continually en-
Argiag has or it cannot stand. The proper
answer to such an argument is, that an institu-
ton that cannot stand without should be allowed
10 fall and be buried out of sight as quickly as
possible. But knowing the serious difficulties
in the way Of such solution of the question,
wc,shonld no. be disposed to argue the point if
the people of the South were not determined to
force upon communities outside of theirterritory
the evil which gives them SO much trouble TO
manage. When, however, we are grarely told
by leading member oS-Congress. who is sup.
posed to represen. the craftsmanship of the
South, that the indefinite extension of slavery
is the only means by which its extinction can be
prevented, We marvel that any man with fair
endowment Of common sense, untouched by IN
sanity, could address such an argument to the
legislative wisdom Of the nation. II Is demand
ing, in effect, that not only the rich Prairies of
Kansas, but 50 much Of the whole national do
main as many be chtched by fair or foul means,
shall be s,nitten with hopeless baroness, in ordor
that slavery may be perpetnated: But this de-
inand involves terrible dilemma. Our national
domain is large. but the time would necessarily
come when ii would all be Appropriated. What
then Is TO become Of slavery Here Is ques-
ton for slavery propsgandists 70 ponder. Can
