Hurrying up the Cakes.

The Caddo (La.) Gazette, of the 9th
ult., tells a passable story on the pro-
prietor of the Marshall House, in
Shreveport. 1t seems that a youth
full couple from the country backwoOds
drove up and alighted atthe hotel, when
the host invited the young man to reg
lister the names of hilnself-and lady.
The female didn't happen to be his Ia
dy, whereupon the proprietor inform.
ed him that there was but one vacant
bed in the house, and he could not be
accommodated as affairs stood, but
that the assistance ola parson and IL
cense would make things o. K. The
suggestion, in the midst of 40 little
confusion, seemed to take with the
youngster. He sought out his com.
panion, laid the case before her, got
her consent, went out and procured
the preacher, ect., and was married
I~instanter ! The host Of the house
must be a character. We advise the
boys who don't wish to be duplicated
to keep ont of his way--those who do.
will of course take the hint.
M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1857-03-26
bred Scott owned by n IL epub-
licnn Member OF Congress.

S~~ NAN( 0A
From the following article, which
we copy from the Springfield Argus.
it appears that bred Scott and his
family become by, the recent decision
Of the Supreme Court, the property Of
tho wife of DR.. Chaffee, the Republi-
can member OF Congress from the
Springfield Mass District
1t may perhaps astonish some Of
our rabid FremOnters, to know that
the late decision in the Supreme
Court, remanding to slavery bred
Scott and his family, declaring the un-
constitutionality of the Missouri Com.
promise, and establishing the right Of
shareholders to carry their chattels
into Northern States without affect
ing their security in them, was OBJ
tanned in behalf of the family of our
present honorable member Of Con-
gress. The facts are simply these:-
Some years since, DR.. ChatFee, then O
widower, married the widow of DR..
Emerson, Of Missouri, who had died,
leaving to his wife and only daughter
q considerable slave property. Among
these slaves were bred Scott and his
family; and as DR.. Emerson, in the
performance ofhis duties as a surgeon
in the United States Army, had car
ried this family into Illinois, they, on
his death, claimed their freedom, and
brought q suit to enforce it. This
suit, thus brought, was defended by
the administrator Of the estate on be-
half, and with the consent of the wife
of Dir. Chafee and her daughter, who
were the heirs at law. The decision
OF the Bench that bred Scott was not
a citizen of the United States, and
could not sue in the U. S. Court, has
remauded him and his family to the
chattlehood of Mrs. Chaffee. What
does the Doctor propose to do with
this increasing propertyi Docs he
consent to the prosecution, and, un'
der cover of his wife's crinoline, pro-
pose to keep good friends with the
Black. Republicans, by saying that he
has nothing to do with her estate, and
at the same time enjoying with her the
benefit of that estate, which does mo-
stop with unfortunate bred and his
familyl These questions are open
and naturally suggest themselves to
us, as they doubtless will to all who
know the facts.

LATER FROM EUROPE.
Arrival OF the steamer Alps.

Arrival OF the steamer Alps.
BosToN, March 30.
The steamship Alps, with Llver.
pool dates to the 4th inst, arrived
here this morning.
The papers by the dips contain @
debate in Parliament on Mr.. Cobden's
motion relative to the war in China.
II terminated in the defeat of the
Ministry, but it is supposed that Lord
Palmerston would neither resign mol
DISSOLVE the Parliament.
The vote on Cobden's motion was
1858 against 247.
Mr.. John T. Champion, late Min
lister to Washington, has been appoin,
ted Minister to Hanover.
Advices from China are to the 18th
December. The Emperor had pro-
hibited his subjects from trading with
the English, under the penalty OF
death. No further operations have
taken place against Canton. The Of
fetal dispatches give the details Of an
attempt on the part OF the Chinese to
retake the Teetotum Fort, and an at
tack upon the British ships by vast
numbers of Chinese junks. The at
tack was we'll concerted, being made
at low water when tho large ships
could not maneuver, but it was bril-
liantly repealed. ,
Admiral Seymour had abandoned
the Dutch Fort and the factory gar
dens, and had strengthened his posi-
tions lower down the river. Recruits
were expected from Singapore.
All the Western suburbs Of Canton
were burnt on the 10Th Of January by
the English.
The mandarins Of the districts had
issued most bl00tthirsty edicts against
the English, and had offered rewards
for assassinations and incendiarism.
All the Chinese ofHong Kong have
been ordered to quit the services OF
foreigners and return, under the pen
atty of destruction to their relatives
remaining at home. Consequently
nearly all Chinese servants had left
their situations.
Letters received from Hamburg say
that private advices from Hong Kong
are Of the most alarming character.
The bombardment Of Canton had
excited the Chinese to general move
ment against foreigners. The popu.
lace are beginning to show unusual
courage and creating great apprehen'
sions.
The movement is not confined tc
China alone, but has spread to Sin
gapore, where the foreign residents
have been obliged to arm themselves
against street attacks from the infuria'
ted Chinese and Malays.
Another letter received from Ham
burg, says hal the fire in the su'
burbs Of Canton spread until the
whole city became one sheet Of flame
The Paris correspondent of the
London Post says that the treaty be
tween Persia and England has no
yet been signed, bat hostilities have
been suspended, though there is nc
regular armistice.

Michigan and Gen. Cass.

AT a late Democratic State conven,
ton in Michigan the following reso-
luton was passed:
RESOLVED, That we cannot per-
NIT this opportunity to pass without
expressing our qualification at the pol
icy which dictated the choice OF u
distinguished fellow-citizen, General
Lewis Cass, as chiefcounselor Of the
new Administration; and that, with
him ard the other eminent, long-tried,
able and patriotic Democratic states
men who have been wisely called to
the Cabinet council Of the nation by
Mr.. Buchanan, we have the assurance
that the Government will be wisely
administered, the people honestly
served, the material interests OF the
nation greatly promoted, and the
Democratic National Union senti'
ment preserved and perpetuated.

[Erom the Liverpool Times
Terrible Explosion i'm a COal
Mine.

A few minutes after 10 o'clock on
Thursday, the 10th, an awful explosion
took place at the Land-bill Colliery,
near Barnsley, situated about halfa
mile from the Wombwell station on
the South Yorkshire Railway. The
pit is about 22O yards deep, be,
longs to Taylor & Co., and is worked
by seperate shifts ofmen, night and
day. The day workers, to the num-
Der of1S0 men and eight lads, descen-
ded at 6 o'clock that morning. AT 70
o'clock, % of them, who reside near
the pit, came up to dinner, the rest re-
manning to partake Of that meal in the
pit. Shortly afterward a fearful ex-
plosion occurred, which shook the
ground for a great distance around the
frame in which the corves descend was
blown up the shaft and lodged in the
gearing above the pit mouth. Num-
6ers of men from neighboring collier
les focked to render assistance, and
up to Z o'clock 16 men had been
drawn up alive, some of them most
seriously injured; this left 142 men
remaining in the pit to almost certain
death. The interior of the pit was
set on fire by the explosion, and the
flames have spread with such rapidity
as, it is feared, to cut off all chance Of
reaching that part ofthe pit where the
142 men are supposed to be. Some
idea of the fearful nature Of the fire
may be gathered when We state that
the flames, ascending up the air shaft,
220 yards deep, reach more than
twenty yards above the top, illumina.
ting the country for q distance around.
Telegraphic messages have been sem
to Sheffield and Barnsley for a mum
Der Of fire engines, some Of which
have now arrived.
The cause ofthe explosion is as ye
involved in mystery. The overlook
er states that when he went round the
pit before the day men descended thi
morning all was then perfectly safe.

led under foot, and that an attempt
