MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 7, 1856
A Sermon.

We hope in these dull times with Mime
sofa editors, when there are no mails, no
news nor nothing to write about, that the
clergy will excuse US for trespassing upon
their vocation, by publishing, this Saturday
morning for Sunday reading, the substance
of one of the best sermons We have ever
read. Mr.. Caird, its author is Presbyte-
rian; but the Queen of England was so inn
pressed with it that she commanded it's pub
lication, and with her sanction, as head of
the Established Church, it has been read to
several congregations of that Church by their
pastors on the Sabbath day, instead of bor-
ing their hearers with their own dry produc-
tions in the shape of scrmonizing.

6 Bill Barstow,o

The Border Ruf1ian Press of Wisconsin is
in an awful way about the Governor ques-
ton. We take as sample the La Crosse
Democrat whose editor, upon learning that
Barstow had resigned, opened up in leader
by stating that " His [Barstow's] resignation
is no evidence against his just right to the
Office" Indeed! Why then did he resign
Was it because he is a coward by nature,
and, like the lame captain, thought that as
there was going to be a pretty hard fight,
and his company might in case of emergency,
be compelled to retreat, it would be as we'll
for him to at once retire and place his com
man in charge of his Lie1enant; Or, did
Barstow's guilty conscience make a coward
of him, after his conniving at notorious cleo
ton frauds liz tie back Counties of his
State
At all events, the rascals have been
"smoked from their holes," and Bashford,
who was thrice armed by the justice of his
quarrel, appears to be firmly seated in the
Gubernatorial Chair of our good neighbor,
Wisconsin. Even the stalwart Scotch Lieu
tenant did not appear disposed to retain the
command, after the desertion of the lame
| captain.

Groveland Garden and Nursery, April S.

Interesting Condition. Of the Empress Euscnie.
An occasional correspondent of the Lon
don Globe writes from Paris, dating Wednes-
day, 5th ult:
From this day the Empress will not leave
her suite of apartments. All the requisite
arrangements are made, and the medical men
at their posts. Paris is expecting any mo-
ment to hear the saiute of cannon. Should
it be prince, the Grand Chancellor of the
Legion Of Honor will bring to him the grand
Gordon of the Order and the military medal;
the Grand Marshal of the Palace will take
him in his arms and carry him back to his
apartments. 1t is seriously in contemplation
to give him the title of skiing of Algiers."
| 1t appears it is certain that the Pope will
be the godfather of the infant Prince or Prin-
cess of the Emperor. His Holiness will
probably be represented by an Envoy Extra
| ordinary. unless he comes himself to Paris
The godmother of the Imperial infant will
be the Queen of Sweden. Her Majesty is
cousin of the Emperor, she being the daush-
ter of Prince Eugene, Duke OF Leuchten-
berg, whose sister was the Emperor's moth
er. and both are consequently grandchildren
of the Empress Josephine. 1t was rumoreo
for the tenth time on the 9th inst, that The
Empress had been delivered, but while tht
report was circulating at the Bourse and else
where, her Majesty was driving with the Elm
peror in tie Champs Elysees, where they
were seen at three o'clock.
The Paris Moniteur of the 18th inst, con
tains the official announcement. of the ap
|nointment of the widow of Admiral Bru
at to the post of Gouuernaate des en-
fms de France" 1t is, perhaps, neces
sary to explain that by this expression it j
intended to refer to the progeny of the En-
peror Napoleon III, and the Empress Euge

MR. FILLMoRE.-We believe-and we are
willing to place our opinion on record as predic-
tion-tbat the name of Fillmore will in time rally
the great bulk of the American party in Massa-
chusetts and with favorable prospect OF carrying
the State. We cannot Of course anticipate the
,enlv of Mr.. Fillmore to the letter informing him
Of his nomination, but if he accepts it upon The
broad platform of American principles, he will
carry the State. Gen. TaylOr's chances were not
more favorable in lS4S than those Of Fillmore
seem to be now, but he carried the State by a
handsome majority. The prospects of General
Scott were not brighter at the time he was month";
ated. yet Massachusetts was one of the few States
which gave him plurality. 1t is too early in the
campaign to expect any enthusiasm for Fillmore.
Indeed, the nomination was made too early. But
there will be waking up before the November
election which will surprise those amateur pOliti-
clans who cannot see an inch beneath the surface.
