The HoME Journal FOR 1856.-Messrs-
Morris and Willis are progressiyeists Of the
right sort They have issued the first num-
Der of the new series in new Typographical
dress, and spread before its multifarious. rea-
ders a literary feast so various and palatable,
as to adapt itself to the test Of the most fasti-
dious. n. P. Willis opens the year with Paul
Fame new serial romance; G. P. Morris begins
new series of original songs, and j. NJ. Field
introduces to the public the first part of an
original novelette, in verse. Altogether the
number is a most attractive one; and as the
terms of the Home Journal are only two dol
lars per annum, remittance of that sum to
the address of the Editors, New York, will
bring back a literary equivalent with which nc
one will be disappointed.

Remarkable Man.

We have orr remarkable men as well as
other sections. In this list we consider that
Mr. John M* 1888, of the Northern part oil
Posey county, deserves place. He IS now
sixty years of age. When he married at tie
age of 10 years, he did not know letter IN
the alphabet. But his good wife taught nm
his letters, and he learned to read the Bible
quite Understandings, excepting some OF the
hard words which he calls Jerusalem" lie
has read the Bible through number of times
and can repeat large part of 1t verbatim
Strange to say this is the only book he can
read. He has been successful in accumulat-
ing full share of the wealth of this world
Notwithstanding his age, short time since,
and when the roads were exceedingly muddy,
he walked from his farm to this place, twenty
five miles, and drove down, a lot Of thirty hogs
which averaged 240 pounds. After his hogs
were slaughtered, he said in the evening about
5 O'Clock, he was going to start home-that
being sick, he had not eaten mouthTu
that dav, and dared not touch any food fol
fear of s;ckness-he must hurry home tt
nurse himself As it had rained hard during
the day, he was asked how he was going t.
travel. ooh, am going to ride my mother
COLT he replied, meaning he was going t
walk. And sure enough, he, an '-old boy
sixty years, and too sick to venture on
mouthful ofvictuals that day started on hi
muddy tramp of twenty-five miles, and arrive
home at IL O'Clock that night! Can an
other county in the State boast an 'old 'un
to equal this sturdy citizen?

Tb american PARTY in South Carolina.

The Charleston IS. c. Evening News, in no.
ticing the report that there is now no Amerl-
can party in South Carolina, says it is great
mistake The view of the Grand Council was
a dissolution of the S4cretss Councils, and a
simul aneous formation of them into public
bodies, with a simple obligation in favor o.
Amercanism. 1t also advised that soon, and
at propitious time, general public meeting
should be held in Charleston to set forth the
principles involved, and to explain and advo
cate them. Americanism is stronger to-day
in South Carolina than everit was.

C1NcINNATT, Jan. 9Th.

Nine persons, all Irish, were arrested for vi
olating the neutrality laws. They were held to
bail this morning in the sum Of one thousand
dollars each to appear on Monday next. The
general impression is, that they were acting in
corcert with parties in New York and else
where, contemplated descent upon Ireland
The extensive block of stores and offices
owned by j. w. Weting, was destroyed by
fire this morning. The block was valued at
100000. The granite building adjoining
was nearly destroyed. 1t was insured for
$4,000. Other adjoining buildings were
badly damaged.
Weiting's block was occupied by the House
telegraph company, the Mechanics Bank,
Grouse Bank, j. V. Ballard, clothier, Butler
worth & Co, hatters, Marvin, May & Herman
hardware Dealers and Z. S. Dawson & Co,

insured for S22, 600 = @4 .i''aa
The stocks of the other parties were badly
damaged, but the losses generally covered by
insurance. The total loss is over $4,000.

~ Night before last was the coolest of the
season We had said that of several of its
predecessors, but, Tuesday night was touch
beyond all before it. The thermometer stood
yesterday morning just before sunrise at fifteen
degrees below zero, at the river, and thir-
teen degrees below zero up town. During
the night it must have been nearly twenty
degrees below zero-the very extreme ofcold
at this point. We think Tuesday night will
be marked over the country generally as the
coolest of the season thus far. s.-

DEAR SIR:-I see in your paper Of the I'D
inst, statement concerning the appointment
of a postmaster in my district at Madison,
Rockingham county, n. c., which desire to
correct The conversation to which you al
lude was between Mr. Horatio King, First
Assistant Postmaster GeneraIand myself, and
not with Mr. Campbell, the Postmaster Gene
raj, as stated in your article. With this ex-
ception the statement is correct, as far as it
goes, but it does not embrace all that occurred
between Mr. King and myself on that occasion.
When l made the application for the ap-
pointment, Mr.. King asked me if the appli-
cant were Know Nothing? L replied that
did not know whether he was or not; and
asked him if it were possible that his being a
Know Nothing would be an objection? He
replied, ayes; am acting under orders not tc
appoint any Know Nothing, and to turn out
all whom | know to belong to the ORDER
/ then asked him if native born citizen and q
foreign Roman Catholic, both equally compe
tent, were to apply for the appointment, OF
which would he bestowit? He said he Should
be compelled to appoint the foreign Catholic
| then left the Department, and do not know
whether any appointment has yet been mad
! or not.

Badly Posted.


We clip the following resolution from one of
series, recently passed by Democratic Con-
ventlon held at Danville, Hendricks county:
ResolUea That we are opposed to call by
the Governor of an extra session of the Legis-
lature this winter. For judging of the future
from the acts of the last Black Republican
Know Nothing, Fusion Legislature Of Indiana
we have Just cause to fear, that one more COM
ing together of this molly assembly with legis-
latiye power conferred upon them, would soon
bring us into state of anarchy. Ther have
brought mischief and distraction upon the
country already, by their want of attention to
their obligations to support the constitution of
the State. Therefore. let them return to their
betrayed constituents, and sink into their po-
Ilitical graves. =sgr .,.- S..
1t is certainly news to almost every one,
that the Fusion House failed in their want
of attention to their obligations to support the
Constitution of the State.'' ra--e.s
I Can the resolution mean, their supposed
failure to pass an apportionment bill, as con-
templated by the Constitution This the Flu
sion House did do, and a just and equitale bill
as it was suffered to to remain on the files of
the Democratic Senate Hnpassed. H
IHaCan the resolution refer to supposed failure
to pass an assessment bill? This the Fusion
House did do, and that bill went to the Demo-
cratic Senate, and by the negligence of that
body, can now be found in that Chamber, only
having passed to its second reading,
Can the resolution have reference to the
failure the Legislature of last winter, in not
electing a .. S. Senator? This the Fusion
House proposed over and again to do, in con-
formity to the law, that had governed such
elections, since the first organization of our
State government, but was every time met by
an unqualified refusal on part of the Democratic
Senate to go into such an election. s.7s

anything but balderdash, and most reckless
perversion of history II zerre Haute En-
