A Combination Against England.

The New York Courier and Enquirer sug-
gests the possibility of "a combination of the
great European Powers against England, as
Constitutional and Representative Government
because of it moral influence upon public opin-
ion on the continent" To sustain such an idea
it processes to be cognizant of facts to bear out
its position. 1t also intimates that in 1S49,
England, aware of combination against her.
put to our Government the question, whether
we would stand aloof from the contest2 The
reply, says the Courier, was to the effect, that
Gin such an event, not only every man in the
United States, but every woman in our widely
extended Union, would with alacrity, espouse
the cause of constitutional Liberty against the
combined Tyrants of Europe"

T,OsS of Goods.

Several of the Rockbridge merchants had
goods on board the steamer Norfolk, which was
lost in Chesapeake Bay during the late storm
Mr.. Lyle Wilson purchasedhis fall stock in Phil
adelphia, and hesitated about insuring, as he
had been doing for several years past, but final
ly concluded to do it. The goods were shipped
on the Norfolk and lost. Mr.. Poage Lackey's
goods were lost on the same steamer, without
insurance. The Jeffersonian mentions the fol-
lowing merchants of Charlottesville who also
suffered losses by the Norfolk; G. I. Jones,
$500, NJ. Mckenzie $500, Oh Hornsey 5000, of
which $500 were insured, Messrs. Keller e. Bro

A Curious circumstance,

We are indebted to correspondent at Nor
folk for an account of the arrival there of the
passengers rescued from the steamer CentralsA,
merica. The letter came to hand too late for
insertion in our last paper, to which, indeed,
had been transferred from other sources of in
telligence most of the facts communicated by
our correspondent The writer mentions one
fact, however, which we have not seen else
where. He says Capt. Johnson, of the Norwe-
gian bark Ellen, or Eloise stated that, during
the storm, sea gull dew in his face three times,
which induced him to think he was too near
land and he accordingly changed the course of
his vessel. Suddenly he came upon what he
took to be group of islands, on which, from
the noise, he supposed the people were indul-
ging in boisterous merry-making. On looking
over the ship he was astonished to find the wa
ter covered with human heads Lines were
Immediately thrown out and the drowning pas
sengers of the Central America drawn on board,
and from them he received the first intimation
of the loss of that steamer 1t will be recollect-
ed that the circumstance took place early in the
morninp

The HOOK Family.

This family ofmusicans, consisting off four chill
dren, the eldest sixteen and the youngest but
three or four years of age, gave two concerts
in this place last week. They possess musical
talents of high order, and afford good enter
tainments. The circumstances which led them
to travel in their present capacity are said to
be such as will appeal to the beneyolence ofthe
public to sustain them in an effort to earn a
livelihood for dependent family.

ROBBERY AND SUIoIDE.-A st. Paul. Mime.
sofa paper states that the Quarter Master at Fort
Smelling was recently robbed of some six thou.
sand dollars in gold. Two persons were suspect.
ed and handbills describing them issued. A
gentleman riding on stage coach on reading
the handful recognized the parties in two men
setting in front of him and managed to send by
q horseman who passed them, note to the
sheriff at Henderson, the next stopping, to await
the arrival of the coach and arrest the robbers.
When the coach drove up to the stage Office
in Henderson, one of the men perceived the
crowd assembled, and divning its meaning step
ped from the coach with his carpet bag, and be-
fore the sheriff could execute his warrant ON
him, drew knife and stabbed himself to the
heart. lie had only time to utter, pointing to
his carpet bag "there is the moneys and fell
dead. The other gave himself up.
The religious character of The Indian rebellion
is now fully admitted by the English press. AT.
ter the proclamation issued by the mutineers at
Delhi, it would be useless longer to maintain the
ground originally assumed with respect to its
purely military character. The London Times
however, points out remarkable feature in
that proclamation, and one that perhaps indi-
Gates wider sweep and deeper growth of that
rebellion than even yet has been realized or sus
peeled 1t is the fact that the proclamation is
the joint production of two classes of re;gionists
that entertain most intense hatred to each 9TH
err, viz: the Mohammedans and the Hindoos.

THE AGRICULTURAL WEALTH OF THE UNITED

Washington in January last, a committee oftiye
persons was appointed to memorabilia Congress-
on the subject Of establishing an agricultural de-
partment with q Secretary at its head who
should be one OF the advisers of the President,

statistics of the United States show the quanti-
ty of land, under the head ofimproved farms, to
be liz, O3l, GA, acres and unimproved at $780,
52s, 900 acres, which land divided into l.
40,O72 farms averaging 203 acres to each
farm, the value of which is SIS, 271 ,575, 426. en-
ploying agricultural implements to the amount
of $15l ,537, $685. producing agricultural products
of the valne of 1856, 1924, $40, as shown by the
census of 1866; which annual agricultural pro-
ducts has increased SO as in 1867, to be the val
ue of 3d. POP sos, $780, near l40 per cent, while
the advance in products will show q like adj
