Music AND BowiE-kNlvEs.-From the
statistics made out for Calhoun county, Miss
by the Auditor of Public Accounts, for the
fiscal year OF 1855, it appears that there was
but one piano, valued at $780, in that county
while Wy-sscen pistols and seuen bouie-
knircs were enumerated among the " ways
and means of life and facilities tor pleasure and
HAPPINESS" as the editors of the Pittsboro'
Democrat expressed it.-E1change.
Of course that county is thoroughly Demo-
cratic. No need Of Sici'ians there.

The Collector Of the Port. Mr.. Redfeld,
having waited upon Mr.. Barclay, to say to
him, that though his exequatur was revoked,

Why They DID Ir.-The New York Jour.
nal of Commerce says that the Democracy in
the Senate disqualified foreigners from voting
in Kansas, because it was important to pass
the bill, and "in no other way could it obtain
the votes of the American party" In other
words, that the Democracy threw their pecu.
liar friends, the foreigners, overheard, the very
first time it became necessary TO get votes.-
What have the foreigners to say to this sort
of treatment! The Democratic press at the
South, so far as we have seen, are mum on
the subject.

LETTER FRoM Hor. SAMUEL SwoPg.-
The following letter (says the Lexington

Samuel F. Swope, q member Of Congress
from this State, to General LeslieCombs, has
been handed to us, npd will be read with
pleasure by the friends of Mr.. Fillmore in
Kentucky. The writer (Mr. Swope) was
leading Democrat in lis section of the State,
until the American party was established,
and enjoyed in as high degree rs any man
of his party the respect and confidence of
his political friends and his political oppo.
nents. He is m honest, independent, right
thinking man, and, splrning the "dominion
Of party" did not hesitate to announce him.
self in favo: of The principles of the Amer
lean party, and put himself full and square
upon IFS platform.
Here is the letter Of Mr.. Swope:
We have but little news, except the rath-
er unexpected and rapid advance of Fillmore
stock. The election of Mr.. Fillmore is now
regarded rs almost certain; and, in fact, as
essential To the peace and harmony of the
country. His known conservatism and de-
volion to the Union, coupled with the histo.
ry of his successful administration, will draw
to his support the true Unon loving men OF
the nation. How any one, who is not bound
hand aud foot, and who has not surrendered
his judgment and will to the dominion of
party, can hesitate between Fillmore, who
stands upon high national ground, and other
candidates standing at the head of sectional
parties, and leading them on to bitter strife
and warf,re, is more than can divine. Let
us support Fillmore. will do SO with all
my might. have hope not only that he
will be elected, but that he will restore to
the country peace and harmony as he left it
ut the end of his administration
