The SICKIEs LIBEL CAsE.-The Hon. Dan

picked up in that trial against his old client
Oh! fe One day something was said, during
our absepce, in our columns that looked like i'm
peaohing bis great political integrity and perfect
purity Of character. On that publication he has
begun two libel suits-one criminal and one
civil-the latter for sl50,676,14 damages, we
suppose. In the criminal suit, we intend to
have long preliminary examination before his
Honor Justice Dawson, that will probably last
as long as the Devlin case or longer. In that
inquiry we intend to subpoena and have ex-
auined the following distingufs in politics and

Discovery OF THE TDwEK or BaBEL.--A
correspondent OF the Boston Traveller, wfi-
ting from Beirut, under date Of December
sth, SAYS that Mr.. Place, the French Consul
in Mosui, noted for his exploration Of Nine
yah, has discovered what be considers The
ruins Of the Tower Of Babel. The account Of
the discovery i rather confused, and il i
difficult TO make out where the alleged ruins
were found, but, as near as We can guess
from the letter, they are either in or near the
famous field Of Arbela, on which the decisive
battle vas fought between Darius and Alex
ander. We quote the letter:
" six Of it, eight stories have fallen and
crumbled into dust, but the two which re-
main are % high that they NAV be seen for

tower Is quadrangular, and each side about

rHE pRoaREss on CRIME.

We find in the Petersburg Express OF
Tuesday an editorial article which has tor It's
subject the alarming progress Of crime. The
views of the Express are our own, with
a single addition to the remedy proposed.
Hanging certainly is very proper remedy,
but the n,prbid condition Of the morals OF the
coun,ry, in very many instances, prevents its
application, there being most fearful DIS
proportion between the aumberot crimes com
mitted and the number Of criminal conyic>
lions consequent upon their perpetratlon. In
this we behold the singular phenomenon OF an
utter indifference to the must brutal murders,
&c., mingled with sickly compassion which
saves the lives Of those who have forfeited
them to the laws Of God aud the peace and
safety Of society. The great remedy, in our
opinion, for this bad state Vt affairs, so rapid.
ly growing worse, is more general and earn
est medication OF sound, moral, and religious
principles; for it is lamentable fact that,
while the country. in the general sense o.
the term, is making rapid attachments in q.
yilization, the progress Of true religion has
been any thing but pari.passu with II.
The practice Of habtually carrying deadly
weapons-bowie- knives, revolving pistols
&c.-is becoming every day more and more
prevalent, and il contributes vast deal Il
the fund OF deadly crimes. We can well re.
member when it was not regarded as gentle
manly to wear arms habtuaily; it was re.
garded as an evidence OF conscious unmanls
fear. Not SO now and one would not be ial
wrong TO say that the number Of men who g
constantly armed are equal to the number q
those who do not wear arms. The con
sequences of this are natural and inevita
ble Instead of its being "A word and
blow" as in old times, in personal quarrels
it is word and a stab or word and pisto
ball Another consequence Of this habit .
wearing arms is that II is getting so common
that it forces those who abhor the practice t
adopt it in self-defence, as they do not know
at what moment they may need them 10 de
fcnd their lives from the assaults Of thos
similarly armed. Thus this pestiient practice
Ike the pestilence of disease, gathers as
goes" until it threatens to orershadow IN
land. Let The Press, then, take up this su5jecl
as important and Interesting as any zee kno'
Of. Above all, let the pulpit resound wit
denunciation, with counsel, remonstranc,
and solemn warning, and with ieryent prayel
which we are promised shall be eliectua
against a practice which sends men unpFe
pared to the bar Of God, leaving the perPetra
tors Of the crime to the cravings Of thu
worm that never dicth.
