The WAY THE SOUTH SUPPORTS THE
SOUTH.-The Mobile Tribune of Septem-
Der 28th has the following very sensible ar
ticle, the truth of which the Southern whole
sale merchants have full reason to know
from experience.
$50 bent has the South been in making
its purchases in the Northern cities, that
actually goods manufactured i'll Rich
mond and Petersburg have been sent on to
New York and there sold to Southern mer-
chants, who could have got them at lower
prices and saved freight by purchasing
here-but who refused them in order to
make all their purchases at one place
We have been told here that even the goods
manufactured on the Alabama River, at
Prattsville, Alabama, have to be first sent
to New York before Mobile and New Or
leans merchants will purchase them. In
this case, the planter, of course, who con-
sumes the article, pays an additional price
for the freight to New York, then profit
to the New York agent, then the freight
back, and all this for the convenience of the
merchant"

4 ROMAN CATHOLIC REFcRMER.-Tbo
first Volume Of Giobcrti's posthumous works
has been published at Turin. 1t will at-
tract much attention throughout the whole
"f Italy, on account Of the name of the au-
thor, and of the subject treated upon, mamo-
": The Reformation Of the Catholic
Church. The object of he author (says n
letter from Turinl is to advocate the ne
cessity of introducing several important
notifications in the discipline of the Ro-
mnn Church--espccially with regard to tie
celibacy of priests and the reduction of the
too numerous forms of devotion: and to
demonstrate, above all, that the suppres-
sion of the temporal power of the Pope is
necessary, not so much for the political
welfare and for the independence of Italy,
a. for the sake of the Catholic Church it.
self. As Gioherti was neither an infidel
nor Protestant, but, on the contrary, q
most conscientious Roman Catholic priest.
his opinions on this subject must have the
greater weight.

WESTERN VIRGINIA.-The Wheeling
Argus thus Indignantly denounces the
charge of Freesoilism which is sometimes
urged against the people of Western Vir-
ginia:
1t is time our people were set right in this
regard. They are grossly abused when
it is said they are freesoilized. All the
Henry Winter Davises and John Minor
Bottses in the United States cannot pur-
suadc them from the line Of duty; cannot
drive them from their devotion to the laws
and constitution of their country or make
them forget their duty to themselves.
Do Thus WITH OURGUNS.-Wash your
gun-harrels in spirits of turpentine, by dip
ping rag OF sponge, fastened on your ram
rod, into the liquid, and swabbing them out
two or three times, when they will be clean
ed from all Impurities and can be used al
most instantly, as the turpentine will eva
porate and leave the barrels dry; even if
they are little moist it will not prevent
their going off. After being washed thus
there is no danger of rust as when water is
used. This is the experience Of an old
gunner, and our sportsmen would do we'll to
adopt it.

A NORWEGIAN MARRIAGE.-The fol-
lowing is Mr. Metcalf's account of Nor
weigian marriage which he describes as a
marriage in high life:
'Betrothal is a very important affair in
this country. The custom is for young
lady, when she becomes engaged, to
exchange rings with her lover. These
rings are retained ever afterwards, no
additional ring being placed on the finger
Of the bride after marriage, as with U.S.
As the bridal cortege crossed the water
fiddler sat in the boat playing in great
state while cannon resounded from the
shore and the church bells rang out merrily
over the water On landing, the bride
walked to the priests, and was then arrayed
in her wedding garments. She wore a
dress of white silk, and on her head a
wreath of flowers; while veil descended
over her shoulders almost to her feet, the
face being left uncovered. Three o'clock
p. m, was the time for performing the
ceremony. The priest afterwards made
an Grafton, and received for it fee o.
twenty dollars. He is equally eloquent at
funerals provided he is paid for it. The
honeymoon in this country is called 'Hvede
Brod Dagen, white bread days-a name
indicating the scarcity of that delicacy. The
happy pair never dream of posting off, as
they do in America to spend the honey

The Wicked Common Schools.

The Freeman's Journal (organ of the Most Rev
erend Archbishop never let's slip an opportunity
for sneer at "New England" and New Eng
land Professionalism" Thus, it heads its account
of the recent murder Of Justus Matthews by the
Wakemanites," after this fashion
"THE NEW HAI EN- TRAGEDY.
I" Protestantisas ia Connecticut--A NeU Reforma-
ton, and its Proto-martyr."
There are probably more murders, and assassi-
nations, and throat-cuttngs, in the Papal portion
of Ireland in one week, than there is in New Eng
land, in proportion to population, from one years
end to the other. Judged by the same rule, the
Journal applies to Professionalism here, Romanism
in the Old Country must be infinitely worse than
even Wakemansm."
The occasion is also turned to account by His
Grace Tor his organ-which is all the same) to in.
dulge another sneer at the common schools and
the Bible-thus:
"The 'land of common schools and of open
Bibles without note or comment-the favored and
sanctimonious land of Connecticut, has taken a
new step in religious reformation The sect that
has arisen in the bosom of that community, and
the acts that thus far, have marked its develop
ment, speak trumpet-tongued in favor of leaving
men to Bibles and to common schools, and of re-
pudiating the idea that man. to save him fatal alb

The Poor of this City.

The great amount Of suffering and want with
which this city has been afflicted during the
past six weeks, has been in great measure
occasioned by the course Of the present admin
istration. Heretofore the suffering has been
confined exclusively to the destitute poor, but
now many of the honest and industrious me
chanics have been compelled to burn their fur
niture to keep their starving children from
freezing Messengers and watchmen who have
been turned out and their places filed with
foreigners, are now suffering for the actual
necessaries of life. This class Of citizens are
not beggars, nor will they beg.
They are honest and industrious, and willing
to work but so embittered is this administra-
ton against all who profess to be American in
principle, and who are Americans by birth,
that it has closed the government workshops
against them, while offices and places are Gre
ated for Pat and Hans. The city has bestowed
its charities, and the foreigners have received
much the largest share. Under these circum-
stances, we think it is incumbent upon Con-
gress to relieve the poor and suffering,
and we hope the House will pass the res
olution, notwithstanding the constitutional
objection of Mr.. Letcher and we would fain
hope that even he would for once regard suf-
fering and want as paramount to mere Vir-
ginia abstraction.

NEW York. Feb. 6. lShf

NEW York, Feb. 6, 1855.
One of the novelties of the season is the cross
ing of our rivers on the ice Yesterday number
of men crossed on the ice from Jersey City to the
Battery, also to Governors Island a feat which
has not been accomplished / think for at least
twenty years. However it is most dangerous
undertaking, and there are but few fool-hardy
enough to attempt it. The ferry boats suffer very
much by the ice, and one on the Hamilton avenue
ferry to Brooklyn was cut through yesterday, and
sunk just as she reached the New York side, giving
the passengers barely time to get on shore
Contrary to the general expectation decision
was given in the Central Park matter yesterday,
confirming the report of the commissioners. But
l learn the case viii be taken to the court of APP
peals Immediately.
Councilman Dickson, of the Ninth ward, who it
will be recolected was injured last Christmas du
by the accidental collision of two fire engines, OF
one of which he was foreman, died yesterday at
the City Hospital The evidence taken at the
coroner's inquest sufficient to show the COLI
sion was purely accidental, and verdict to that
effect was rendered.
On the 18th OF this month grand affair, in the
shape of testimonial to Mr. Cough, the temper

to be purely temperance festival, at which eat
ing, drinking, and speaking will comprise the eve-
nings entertainment
The :" cold term has played the mischief with
the locomotives on the Erie and Hudson River
railroads 1t is said that on the Erie road no less
than eight engines have given cut in one day, on
account of the frost penetrating the wheel tires
and connecting rods of the locomotives while on
the Hudson road similar accidents occur daily. On
the Long Island road, over ten thousand dollars
have been expended in clearing the track of snow
since the LIST of January.
The fillibuster party trial was brought up to-day
but consultation, it was further postponed until
the April term of the court.
The Royal Mail Steamship Africa left at 10
o'clock this morning, for Liverpool, taking out
about 40 passengers and $500, 900 in specie. She
left this early in order to get to sea before dark on
account of the ice.
The Prohibitory Liquor Law is to be confirmed
by the court Of appeals. So it is said by those
who pretend to know something of the movements
at Albany. This will be bad news for the Astor
House, as Coleman l. Stetson are fixing up their
bar-room in style that will take down anything
of the kind in this country they spending some
twenty thousand dollars in the improvement.
