One of the victims of the Sepoy murders in Tn.

Farquharson, late of the 5th Fusieers a beautiful

AMERICAN SUNDAY SCHOOL UNIoS.-The committee
on repositories and finances of the American Sun
day School Union have published a statement in
regard to the defalcation of Mr.. Frederick W. por
ter, their late corresponding Secretary They say :
1t will be understood that as far ss we know. no
funds in the actual possession of the society have
been abstracted, since part of what was thus
surreptitiously obtained was ever in its custody !:
and 1t Is to be especially remarked, as matter of
thaukfulness, that not farthing of the contribu
tIons to our benevolent fund has been lost or mis
appropriated. The wrong which we suffer results
wholly from the use of the society's name and
credit by the corresponding secretary without au
thority IN violation of his trust aud for personal
or private ends, and the burden falls wholly on its
business department.

rA Northern gentleman, who attended the Southern Commercial Convention, at Sa- vannah, concludes one of his letters, descriptive of what he saw and heard at Savannah, as follows:
 "People of the North have no idea of the sociabity that exists here between master and slave. Slave. did say? It's a islander upon the South in its like intrinsic sense. If theirs is slavery-the life of the colored man of the Seuth-,hen 1 do not know what worse name can appropriate tothose who sew in your work sheps in New York, or languish at the loom in that pseudo philanthropic State, whose industrial development and activity are supported and fed by southern cotton, and whose fabrics are consumed here-the State Of N sssachusetts.

The New York correspondent of the Charles ton Evening News says:
 "Oue of the officers who accompanied Hun- tington from the Toombs to Sing Sing informs me that the "moral lunatc'' deportsd him. self in the most nonchalant manner during the journey. Even while taking leave of his wife, (who has cluns to him through his whole career of trouble with the devoted affection a woman only possesses,) he never shel tear. He remarked while i'll the Hudson River Rail- road cars, that his counsel (Messrs. Brady and Bryan) were damned fools to put in plea of insanity. If pardon every body Clark were still Governor, we mig ght expect to see Hun ington about" his old haults in town in less than year; as it is, there is petition in circu- lation for signatures, at this early day, praying for his pardon at the hads of our new Govern or, King and bets are offered among the sport ing fraternity, that Mir. Huntington will have his liberty ere the lspse of twelve months.- Let him come out when he may, Mr. Hunt ington will have "pretty penny" wherewi,h to rock gently the cradle" of decliuing life those who ought to know, say not less than half a million of dollars. His wife still retains possession of his palatial residence up town, though the magnificent furniture and ,cora- tlons have all been sacrificed to the insatiAse creditors of her incarcerated lege lord. The house being her property could not be touched.

THE UNITED STATES SENATE-The returns from the States in which Legislatures are cho. sen this fall, are now sufficiently complete to decide what will probably be the politics of the United States Senators to be elected by them:
 In Maine, black republican will be chosen in place of Hamlin, who has been elected Go- vernon
 In Massachusetts, Sumner, whose term ex- pires this winter, will probably be reelected.
 In Rhode Island, black republican will be elected in place of Hon. Charles T. James, a democrat, whose term expires on the 4th of March.
 In Connecticut, they have already chosen a black republican Senator to take the place Of Hon. Isaac Toucey, democrat, whose term ends with this session.
 In New York, there is black republican le- gislature. She will continue to be represented by two black republicans.
 In Pennsylvania, either MT. Broadhead, de- mocrat, who goes out, will be reelected, or some democrat will take his place. In Michigan, General Cass, whose term ex pires in March, will be replaced by black re- publican. In Indiana, tive Senators are to be chosen, both, probably, as befere- democrats. | In California also, there are two vacancies to be filled, probably by democrats. In Delaware, Texas, Florida, and Virginia, democ, atc Senators will be reelected or rs- placed by other Senators.

MT. Brooks. of South Carolina.

A letter to the Charleston Courier glves this in Congress:
 In the House. we had the pleasure of hearing brief speech from Mir. Brooks. the talented member from South Carolina. He made a most masterly exposition of his own views with regard to Kansas. As he warmed with his theme, his face flashed up like crystal goblet when filled with wine, and in strain of thrilling eloquence, he boldly asserted his right "a sacred right cedod to him bX the constitu- tion-to take his property into the Territory, if he wished; and exposed the falsehood of those who would deny to the south that right.
 The style of this gentleman is his own-no echo-no duplicate, but entirely and absolutely the expression of his intellect. He has, as we expected, great force of action and utterance- sees more in short and sudden glances of rapid thought than many can in hours of close and laborious investigation. The rapdity of his delivery, and the grave earnestness of his man. ner proved that no cold, cast-iron figure was before Us, but a man--a man of generous im- pulses and quick warm beating heart. He Is, we think, one whom opposition would never fail to rouse, and who would never be so great as when turning up his face against storm of attack
 He has fine striking face with an uniqueness of expression seldom seen; and Is, we think, a man whom Beldam broke loose would not keep down. Without any personal acquant- ance with this gentleman, we have admired hlS manly self appreciation, while his name is the signal for every species of insult While northern journals are one incessant battery against his character he only acknowledges, by transient frown, the existence of his assa- ants; and sustains this load of detraction with calm and impertunblc dignity, as if e feels himself precisely the man he was before.

Signs of Returning Reason.

The London Times appears to have just made the discovery that the President has no power, and cannot exercise any over the legisla- ton of the several States. Of slavery, the Times asks:
 "But how does President Pierce deal with it? With admirable logic and with profound con- stitutional lore and triumphant success. We take It there can hardly be a question on the subject, after his able exposition of the law It Is the private affair of each State that is, or Is to be. The State alone can alter its own in- stitutions. Not all the States together that now are can lay down the law for any State that IS to be, either on this side that line of latitude or on the other. Organization to effect this pur- pose, whether by immediate interference with elections, or by turning the balance of the pO- puiatlon, or by procuring acts of Congress, or by influencing public opinion, is equally uncon- stitutional, and has equally been frustrated iu all these developments.
 The federal constitution does not possess within itself the means of altering the laws of State The very agitation or discussion, the attempt to influence the mind and enlist the sympathies in favor of tue emancipation of the negro, is reasonable; much more auy alteration in the laws of one State with view to alter the laws of another, or to impede the enforcement of that law. ! he Missouri compromise, and any agitation against the extraditlon of fugitive slaves, are thus unanswerably disposed of. In kansas, unfortunately made the battle field of this disloyal agitation, there might, for aught the President knew be irregularities in the cleo tion; there certainly were overt acts with a view to alter the federal law. So says Mr. Pierce. With the former he had nothing to do They were the affair of the State itself. The latter it was his duty to repress in behalf of the Union, as he did. The result of the Presiden- tial election gave the verdict of the whole po- pulation in favor of his policy and his view of constitutional law. Henceforth, then, all is plain sailing. There ought to be no dsputc.- Sing, then, without fear the song of unbounded prosperity, from to sea, from earth to heaven, with all overgrowing, ever frightening future; embracing new States, diifusing new laws of peace and humanity, teaching even the laggard morality of the Old World, superseding its camps and armies, its fleets and its cruisers- Never was 50 much canvass spread on so bright a sea, with so fair wind, to so delightful h2vcn."
 The great danger apprehended by the Times, growing out of the slavery question, is no doubt seriously wished for.

EXCESSIVE SMoKINa.-The last number of tcle on the i'll effects produced by excessive smoking extract:
 Besides the necessary effect upon the head, of the marked irritating action, Is the supera- bundant secretion of saliva and of the humors salutary in their nature, destined when in due proportion, to maintain the first acts in the di- gestve process. And these abundant secre- tions not unusually at the cessation of the stm- ulus become altered, with remarkable dryness of tho faucus, of the tongue. and of the eso. phagus, which obliges the smoker to seek new stimulus, in alchoholc drinks, which increases the prmitavely injurious effects of tobscco.- That spty lism continued for long time should be an efficient cause of injury to the animal or ganism, no one will deny, when they reflect that by these means are obstracted from the blood those principles which in normal quality are necessary to the integrity of organ and func- tions, and that if the ordinary secretion of any gland is continually increased the humor secre- ted will be altered in its elemental constituents and consequently become less adapted to those offices naturally reserved to them. Every time, said Boerhave, speaking of saliva, any one makes a useless waste of this secretion, he Is deprived of a great incitve of the appetite and great aid to digestion. The chyle, to the preparation of which this fluid does not concur is of bad quality, and the blood re- mains more or less altered. To tAs authority many others can be added, but let that of Gull len, Tissot, and Bernard suffice"
 Tho article proceeds to consider the injurious effects upon other parts of the system, and particularly the apparatus of respiration.
