JUsr FOUND IT OUr.-The Peoria ( H.
Transcript thus remarks on Gov. SHADES mis-
sion, in reply to the Washington Union;
The Washington Union has at last discoy-
cred that the enterprise of Gov. Slade, which
he has been quietly pursuing for several years
of preparing and sending out female teachers
to the South, is an internal abolition plot -
The Union says " Slado, if not wise, is O
cunning man and of all the expedeuts foi
propogating abolitionism this appears to be
the most sly, insidious and dangerous
We are sorry the sagacious Union has at
last discovered this secret, and it must be
that some Connecticut school-marm has been
whispering in the ear of its editor but who
is there in all Yankeedom that has not for a
long time been laughing in his sleeve at the
way the cunning Ex-Governor has been pull
ing the wool over the eyes of the South.
The truth is, it is the girls themselves that
are at the foundation of this deep laid scheme.
Naturally good looking, intelligent and well
educated as soon as they get South they arc
equally sought after by the young chivalry
for wives-natural results follow-children
imbibe love of freedom from their mother
breasts-grow up opposed to extension Of
slavery and while their grandiathers are pre-
pairing warm night-cap of old " Bourbon,
the first thing they know their grandchildren
will themselves upset this peculiar institution
and presto--the South is free We can see
no other remedy for the Southern States, but
TO pass a stringent law, debarring every good
looking Yankee girl from crossing Mason ana
Dixon's line, and in this way only can we see
for them any permanent safety.

PRFsToN s. BRooKs.--We feel confident
that the good sense of the Southern commu-
nifty will condemn the ill-judged allusion of
Mr.. Savage, of Tennessee, to the attack of
Mr. Brooks upon Charles Sumner. His re-
marks were in striking contrast to those of
Mr.. Qutman, a warm personal friend of Mr..
Brooks, and to those of Mr.. Keitt, the col
league of the latter, which would appear from
the telegraphic report to have been carefully
guarded against any offensive illusions. To
compare the cowardly assault of Mr.. Brooks
upon our distinguished Senator TO the assas-
sination of Caesar by Brutus was so absurd,
as well as inappropriate to the occasion, that
we can scarcely wonder that the friends of
Mr. Brooks feel deeply hurt" That attack
was the one overshadowing sin of his lifetime
1t was an error, to speak of it in mild terms,
which we have reason to believe that he
deeply regretted, although his proud, naughty
spirit would not allow him to make single
public concession The New York Times
says
awe have heard that in conyersation Col
Brooks more than once deplored his conduct
on that occasion as the blot and misfortune of
his Hfe-that he declared his only purpose at
the outset was TO inAict the disgrace of blow,
and not any severe injury--that he was excit-
that the first blow struck reused all the de-
mon within him, and left him no longer in
possession of his judgment or solf-control.
Ii has been remarked by those who were
acquainted with Mr. Brooks, that intoxication
had become a confremed vice with him since
the Sumner affair. He has seemingly attempt
ed to drown conscience in the wine cup, aud
latt, rly has been so constantly under the in
iuence of strong drinks as to induce the ap-
prehension that his life would be prematurcly
cut short. We would tain suppress this iact
in the career of one who had generous traits
of character, but when il is attempted to gild
crime with the gloss of patriotism, historic
Justice demands that the meretricious cover
ing should be stripped aside. While deplor-
ing the sad termination of the career OF the
man, let his crime and his remorse stand with
out palhation and without exaggeration, as a
solemn warning to others who, like him, may
be tempted, in an evil hour, to upliit the hand
of violence. .--BostoH journal.

DoraIAs on YANKEE ScHooLWAsrERs.-
Senator Douglas has recently been amusing
himself with writing a sneering lcttcr to his
home organ in Chicago, on the subject Of Yam
keo schoolmasters. In that letter the small
giant says:
81 You are to be Yanloefed'-in other
words Abolitionized by means of Abolition
school teachers and Abolition preachers. And
they viii do it, too, unless, in vulgar parlance,
you take the bull by the horns hope we
shall prove to be as active and untiring in the
defense of Democratic principles, as they are
in propagating error. The resolution should
be taken not to support an enemy in your
midst to propagate among your children the
black and hateful doctrines of Abolitonism.
The remedy is in your own hands, and the ad-
vice, believe, is salutary"
This, says The Chicago Democrat, comes
with an i'll grace from one who, but a few
years ago, came to Illinois young Vermont
er, and applied to the Rev. Mr.. Beecher, of
Jacksonville in this State, to assist him in
getting a school to teach. How great our

Coon HGr.-A Methodist divine of this
city on Sunday administered most severe re-
buke to a custom in these days, of reading
advertisements from the pulpit. paper was
handed to him giving notice that 1.-THE intro
ductory lecture to the annual course would
be delivered on Monday night, &c, at q GER
tain Medical Institution in this city. The
preacher said he had conscientious soruples
against cheating the printer, by making such
announcements from the pulpit that he never
heard such advertisements read IN church
without reminding him Of the old deacon in
Alexandria, who, on a certain occasion, eX-
horted in most earnest and vehement Ian
guage the sinners in his congregation to re-
pont, or they would all go to hell as sure as
there was flour for sale at Alexandria, and he
was sure there was flour there, for he had re-
ceiyed. just the day before, fine assortment
which he would sell as cheap as any man in
the city Ohio Statesman.

At the close Of its article it remarks ;---'ln
the past ten years there has been an immense
emigration from Ohio to Illinois, Iowa, Min
nesota and Nebraska. This has been uni
formly the case with all the States whore
lands come to $50 or $50 per acre and is
caused simply by the fact, that it then be-
comes speculation for farmers to sell out
and commence new farms at Government price.
This process will go ON for only few years
for the Government is rapidly parting with all
the good lands il possesses. In the mean
while, the rapid increase of town population
oompensates, in part for the loss of tarmers.'

CAILGNG Of THE GovERNoR.-Governor
Chittendon, Of Vermont, was a fine specimen
of the noble-hcarted. high-mindcd and intel
ligcnt yoomanry of New England, and his res
idcnco was a good old-iashioned farm. With
all the generosity and hospitality of tho mas
ter and mistress of the mansion, there was
not a particle of aristocratic cxclusivenoss a.
bout them. The Governor knew that a man
was a man, provided his character and con-
duct were good. and was no subscriber TO the
doctrine that ''fine feathers make fine birds. "
Homespun or velvet, he cared not what the
garb was, provided the wearer carried his
heart in the right place.
One day a man who had some business with
the Governor arrived at his house on horse.

near the door he pulled up and called out =

FoR THE LADIEs.-Efects Of Founcing
Fashion, like fever, will run It's course. in

il appears that Aounced dresses are making a
brisk weaving trade Mr.. f. f. Maudey. of
Manchester, thus writes in his Trade Circular
dated the 10th, of their effects upon manu-
facturcrs "The home trade or domestic con-
sumption Of the manufactures of these dis
tricts, especially as regards the textile fabrics
Of the various fbers-silk wool, and cotton,
&c, adapted for ladies' clothing-has been
enormously increased of late under the en-

vogue in Paris and London, and this taste has
spread into our provinces, and lattorly into
the chief cities of the United States of Amer

and the fne mixed stuffs of the Norwich and
Yorkshire looms, and now with great taste
and elegance, has extended to printed calicoes.
Some Of our best printers arc actively engag-
ed in the production Of these novelties II
is a noticeable feature that this new style of
garment leads to an enormously increased
consumption of material. A piece of 7-Sths
printed calico 2 inches by % yards, or 0-Sths
33 inches by "a yards, was computed some
twenty years ago. to contain ample material
for four dresses now the same quantity is
not deemed too much for two dresses The
consumption Of other fabrics for the same
purpose bears a relative increase" The ma

use of founces is not confined 20 making
"irights of their woarers, but that trade ex-

being thought monster, and particularly
shabby, might we be allowed to ask whether
hounccs are as fashionable with gentlemen
