The New SPEAKER Colonel Orr who has
just been elected Speaker ofthe House of Rep
resentatiyes, like his able and accomplished
predecessor, Mr.. Banks, started from humble
life, being the son OF clock pedler. He is some
what unpopular with the fre-eating exclu-
sives at the South, as wellfrom his Union-sav-
ing principles as from what they consider his
plebeian origin and associations. He stands
rather apart from the rest of the South Car
DINA delegation, and has exhibited greater
inclination than they to press the claims Of
that State in the distribution of federal pat.
ronage-and he has certainly done something
10 commend himself to a fair share of the
spoils. 900 year in Uncle Sans gold
the Speakers salary-is not bad to take, by
anybody just now. We doubt even if the
"fastest' families in Virginia would refuse it,
judging from the alacrity with which their
representatives have stepped into the less re-
munerative offices in the gilt of the House.
The New Speaker has served already three
terms i'll the House, and been diligently en-
ploying his experience in qualifying himself
for the office he holds. AS Chairman OF the
committee relating to the subject, he signal
lied himself by his report, fully and explicit
lily vindicating Col. Fremont from the impu-
tations upon his accounts. In the last Con"

of the Corruption Committee on which he
served; and he is thu author of the stringent
law for the prevention of congressional cor
rupion, which was the result of its delibera-
TONS
Col. Orr is man about forty, of large
frame, Of rotund stomach, and with set Of
lungs of immense power When he arises to
catch the speakers attention, his shrill voice
scars above the tumult of the House, like the
whistle of locomotive. He is singularly
prompt. quick. witted in argument and retort
and pays the closest attention to every detail
of House business The dullest and prosiest
declaimer can boast of an attentive listener in
Orr, and it is rather ominous to a new conner
in debate, when that fiat haired South Caro-
lnian, with thread bare faded black coat,
leans forward, puts one hand to his ear cocks
his eye towards the new member, like con-
templative rooster looking after clear weather,
and asks whether he rightly understood the
last remark Of the honorable gentleman. and
if so, would like to inquire, &C., &c. 1t is
quite an ordeal to go through.
Orr is a man of the world, OF pleasant So
cial feelings, and thus is enabled to put
through the partisan work he assumes more
effectually than person of more austerity
and ostentation. --NeW York Post.

The PANAMA PEARL FfsHER1Es.-A cores
pendent of the New York EUeAiag Post,
writes as follows, concerning speculator in
pearls at Panama, and the pearl fishery in
Panama bay:
fThere is one man here whose business is
pearl purchasing, but he declined to sell any.
People here could not appreciate his pearls or
his prices he thought. They were for the
Paris market, he said, and he sent $50 900
worth there annually. He showed us some
choice ones, black and. white, Of extraordina-
ry size and lustre this one he had refused
$500 for that one he knew no price for
it depended on the fancy of the amateur in
Paris, and the length of purse of the unlucky
mans wife who purchased it, and his luck in
disposing of it. Every one has his tastes,
Senor,' said he, zone likes horses, another
pictures, &C.; my passion is pearls. l have
as much satisfaction in looking at, and hecom-
ing master of pearl, perfect in form and
lustre, as you Ingleses would have in getting
a real Raphaelo. [ hsve followed after a
single pearl for years, with money waiting in
my desk to pay for it, but l have to wait on
the whim of these people; they have no
wants for food, they live on the oysters they
catch and a few bananas, and can't be tempt
ed to tell, and which they only do as the fan
cy or the superstition takes them. Thus,
man will show, season after season, his in.
creasing store Of pearls to me-accusnulato
them for years and keep them hid, and l
have patiently to wait with money ready for
the fit to come on him, and L am sure of my
prize in the end. All ! if los Americanos
would only take the Isthmus, my fortune
would be made And how so 7 said we,
Il would buy one hundred slaves, and they
would have to work, and would earn me one
hundred thousand dollars profit year.
There are about six hundred divers at the
Pearl Islands, who work about si2 months in
the year-which is all the wind and weather
admits of--and good diver can earn a thou
sand dollars year, and DO but moderately
fortunate; for, Of course, it is in o measure, a
lottery still, without drawing any prizes in
taking pearls, he can gather in that time $500
worth of shells, and may, iii a single day, be
SO fortunate as to have that amount in pearls
in two or three oysters. A diver makes from
twenty to thirty plunges per hour, from three
to eight (athoms deep, and stays under water
about twenty-five seconds. 1t seems to have
no pernicious effect, as some Of the best divers
arc over sixty years old. The shelie are in
great demand for cutlery and ornamental
work; and since the imperial era in France
when an official must spend oil his salary in
entertainments, and his wife get in debt a:
much more for fine dresses and jewelry
pearls have gone up in price, and our pear
tancier has coined money. He had tried t.
get from the New Granadian government
privilege, he said, to fish for pearls witt
submarine armor, but it had been refused
and he was now awaiting the advent Of TIL
Americans, ana with them the introduction
of the peculiar institution TO carry on hi
! business under more favorable auspices"

Ma BUcHANAN's SERVICES TO THE SOUTH
The Washington correspondent the Richmond
South, one Of the leading Administration papers
in Virginia, writes that in an interview with
Southern men, the following scene occurred:
II see" said the President to one of the mem
bers from Alabama, "that your people have been
RAISING some terrific resolutions against me. l
suppose they think me down there a great aboli-
ZIONIST. The New Orleans Data says | am a
terrible abolitionist laughter New" added
Mr.. Buchanan, becoming serious, 81 cannot say
that au pro-slavery man, but do say that,
in cpntending for the constitutional rights of the
South, have doae more than any other man
now living"
Who that compares the course and sentiments
OF Mr. Buchanan with those of any Of his pre-
dscossors, can doubt the truth of the claim set
up by him in the conversation above quoted He
is the only President We ever had who came fully
up to the Calhoun ground on the slavery ques.
ton, and it is doubtful il the great Carolin-
ian himself, although standing in his day in the
very front rank Of the ultra pra-slavery men of
the country North or South, could, we're he
now living, say that his extraordinary services in
behalf Of slavery, or " the rights Of the South
equalled those Of Mr.. Buchanan, in the latter's
present position.

REMovAL OF STANTON AND WALKER.-The
Washington correspondent Of the New York Er-

"The Presidents removal of Acting Go vernon
Stanton is too late Stanton has oonyoked the

fore the 18th or 18th. Hence the legal Legisla.
tuTe will be n session before the removal reaches
the Acting Governor, and when that Legislature
is once in session it will have legal power to act.
Being Free State, it will but little respect the

The Calhoun election does not come off until
Dec. 81, when the Free State Legislature will
have been fourteen days in session.

1t is.not an interesting subject that we

newspapers are sent out on credi. and men.
memories are treacherous, they are promi-
nent among the evils the readers Of newspa-

In order to vary somewhat the form, we
have commenced this week sending out bills
to those who owe US for THE CALEpoS1AN
eighteen months and upwards and also bills
for advertising and job-work We hope they
will he duly needed.
1t is possible that bills have been sent to
some subscribers who have already settled
with an agent who has not rendered his ac-
count at this office. Such cases are, of course.
unknown to US, or We would guard against
them.
TO those who still owe Mr.. CHADWICK. ex-
crpt in few instances, We have sent no bills.
We have deemed his inritations to pan .utli-
cent for the present, and expect that when
these are attended to that we shall come in

have also been passed over in the distrihn
