a5-Every democratic paper in the State
(says the Brunswicker) Is publishing let
tiers from Howard Co., no doubt all writ
ten by the same individual-urging upon
the next Legislature the great necessity Of
electing Gen. Jno. B. Clark TO the U. S.
Senate. Gen. Clark must be one of the
greatest living geniuses, if half what these
letters relate concerning his exalted orator
ical ability, consummate Craftsmanship, &c.,
be true.
We would say 10 the writer of these let
tiers: you are wasting ink and paper
Those acquainted with Gen. Clark, know
him to be a man Of fair talents, pretty good
lawyer, but not the kind of article to make
Senator of. Such will be the verdict Of
the Legislature; and the Howard County
writer will see it.

The MoTHER's INFLUENcE.-The solid
rocll.which turns the edge ofthe chisel bears
forever the impress of the leaf and acorn
received long, long since, ere it had become
hardened by time and the elements. If we
trace back to its fountain, the mighty tor
rent which fertilizes the land with its CO.
pious stream, or sweeps over it with de-
vastating flood, we shall find it dripping in
crystal drops from some MASSEY crevice
among the distant hills; so too the gentle
feelings and affections that enrich and adorn
the heart, and the mighty passions that
sweep away all the barriers OF the soul and
desoate society, may have sprung up in the
infant bosom in the sheltered retirement Of
home.
i should have been an ATHEIST, said John
Randolph, if it had not been for one recol-
lection; and that was the memory of the
time when my departed mother used to take
my little hands in hers, and cause me on
my knees TO say Our Father which art
in Heaven

AFFECTING MEETING.-The Cork (Ire-
land) Examiner mentions the following af-
fecting circumstance as an "incident of
war;:
"a few Sundays since young and inter-
esting country girl plainly and neatly dress
ed, was standing among group OF anxious
and agtated people on the steam-packet
quay, evidently awaiting the arrival Of the
London boat, which, it was expected, would
bring home portion Of the troops of the
Crimea. As the boat approached the quay
the young women Of whom we speak re-
cognized him for whom she was evidentl,
anxiously and impatiently awaiting, and il
few minutes was recognized in return
Kind and fond greetings passed between
them. The young woman waved cordia
and heartfelt welcome, and her husband &C
knowledged her salutations, When tn
ship touched the quay, she rushed on board
and eagerly making her way to where h
stood, she reached out her hand 10 bid hin
welcome again 10 home and friends, whe
the poor fellow faltered for moment, una
BILE to repress his emotion, turned ava
from her and burst into tears-both arm
had been shot away! The poor woman hi
her face in her handkerchief and retired t
the side of the ship where she could indulg
her grief without observation, and many G
the spectators were deeply affected for til
moment"

Kansas Meeting.
FAYETTE, Nov. Sd, l85

FAYErrE, Nov. Sd, 1866.
The Kansas Meeting met pursuant to ad-
journment.
On motion of DR.. Lowry,
Resolued, That the Committee on Claims
heretofore appointed, meet, examine and
compare their different reports, in order to
exhibit 10 this meeting a consolidated report,
which may be considered as doing justice
10 all claimants who went as volunteers to
Kansas from Howard county.
Resolved, That said committee be request
ed TO take into consideration the cases Of
Miles Baldridge and James Jackson volun-
teers in the late Kansas War, who were
wounded at Ossawatamie, and that said COM
lnittee report what compensation in their
opinion, the people of Howard county ought
to allow them for their services.
The committee retired and after deliber-
a.ing reported as follows:
WHEREAS, difficulties have arisen before
the committees in fixing the rates of expen-
ses of different volunteers, therefore
Resolved /. That we pay each volunteer
the sum of fifteen dollars to cover his ex-
penses more or less--if any one has been
paid any part or whole thereof, the same
shall be deducted from-if any have been
overpaid TO pay the overpus back.
2. That all money borrowed by the cap
tains of companies for expenses of the same
shall be first paid out of the common fund
3. That another meeting be called &c
look into the propriety of paying the volun-
teers something as compensation.
Mr.. A. ]. Herndon moved to amend the
first resolution by striking out the wore
"fifteen," and insert in lieu thereof the WORD
"thirty."
The question being on agreeing to the
amedment, was decided in the affirmative
and the resolutions as amended were unan
imously passed.
On motion Of DR.. Lowry,
RESOLVED, That committee Of one from
each township be appointed by the Chair
| to take into consideration, audit and allow
kthe claims of such persons as have been il
the Kansas war, and report to this meeting
the amount Of money on hand and the defici
that may be necessary to cover all claims a
audited and allowed.
In pursuance of said resolution the Chat
appointed the following Committeeman:

FInE.-Last Thursday night the dwelling
house occupied by Mr.. John Reyburn, and
owned by Mr.. A. McAllister, of this place,
was burned to the ground. The fire was
not discovered until it was too late to put il
out. There was no insurance on the prop

$1,000. Mr.. Reyhurn lost nearly every
thing he clothing, bed clothes, pro-

The Mexican Priesthood.

President Comonfort, says the N. Y. E.
Evangelist, is engaged in the most important
and sweeping reform ever undertaken in
Mexico, in secularizing the Catholic Church.
and dispossessing it of some Of its il-gotten
treasures. The difficulties which have OBJ
structed the progress of that State hitherto,
are to be attributed mainly to the over
whelming power of the church. The gov
ernments which were not pleasing to the
priests had no stability. Where there were
two parties contending for the supremacy,
which ever the churcffinclined to, succeed
ed. The hierarchy is overwhelming. The
arch bishop has nine bishops under him, al
having cathedrals and chapters, except the
Prelate Sonora-with 1856 prebendaries and
canonries, l 200 parishes and regular and
secular clergy amounting to 10000 persons,
under his complete dominion. OF the reg
ular clergy $500 reside in the capital and
the orders of the Dominicans, Franciscans,
Carmelites and Mercedaoians possess 100
| SOuNChtS' AhO VI tho 10
$4,000 per aunum, that of the Bishop of
Puebla was $4,000. The remaining
bishops receive altogether about $4,000
more. The Signor Lendo de Tegada, who
is now at the head of the finances, asserts
that the real property of the clergy is of the
value of from two hundred and fifty to three
hundred million of dollars. In the city o.
Mexico, containing five thousand houses
worth eighty millions of dollars, the church
owns one half, and the income has been es
timoted by the minister at twenty Million
of dollars. Waddy Thompson, our former
minister at Mexico, was of the opinion tina
one-quarter of the whole country belonged
to the priests. The quantity of gold, sill
yer, and jewels in the churches is grea
enough to pay the whole foreign and and do
, mestic debt. A single baustrade, abou
, three hundred feet long, in the cathedral o
the capital, is supposed to be worth mil
lion of dollars.

A DopeE.-When Deacon B got
INTO bad position, he was very expert in
crawling out of it. Though too quick tenn.
pered he was one Of the best deacons in the
world. He would not, in a sober moment,
utter an oath or anything like one, for his
weight in cider.
At the close of rainy day, he was walk
ing upon knoll in his barn yard, on one
side of which was dirty slough, and on
thessother was an old buck, that, in consid-
Grafton of his unusually quiet disposition
was allowed to run with the COWS. The
deacon was piously humming odd Hun
bred, and had just finished the line ending
with exalted high when the ram obeyine
sudden impulse to be aggressive, gave hin
blow from behind that sent him up short
distance, only to fall directly into the slough
where the dirty water was deep enough tc
give him thorough immersing.
As he crawled out, and before he rose
from his hands and knees, he looked ovel
his shoulder at the ram, and then vocifera
ted:
You id old cuss!' but on looking AROUND
and seeing one of the neighbors at the bars
looking at him, he added in the same breath

RopBERY.-The store of Messrs. SrRousE,
FRIEDsAM s. Co., Of this place, was entered
last Tuesday night, and their safe robbed of
some 5000. The store must have been en-
tered by means Of an "outsider," as the key
way in the door. The key Of the safe was
in the money drawer, and after robbing the
safe, the robber decamped, leaving the safe
and store doors open.
