A FAIR HIT.-An effort will be made
to pass an act providing for the erection Of
new and additional penitentiary, to be To-
Gated in the Northern part Of the State,
somewhere near Chicago, it is presumed,
the present penitentiary being too small
to our dlscredit be it saida-to accommo-
date the wants of our State. By looking
over the report of the Warden, it will be
seen that great number Of the present
convicts were sent from the city Of Chica-
go. Some wag has proposed, that In lieu
of a new penitentiary, an act be passed
providing for the building of wall around
Chicago, which he supposes will answer
the same purpose.-[Springfeld Cores

Causes of the Hate Southern Negro
Rebellion.

The recent dealings in several Southern
States with slaves accused of conspiracy o
revolt and overpower or escape from their
masters have exhibited some features which
deserve thoughtful consideration.
l. The slaves are not allowed to learn to
read, and whoever teaches them subjects
himself to punishment; there is no provis-
ion even for the reading of the laws in
their hearing; yet they are held to d rigid
accountability for every violation of those.
aws-those interdicting the assemblage of
more than a small number of black persons,
for example. No matter though sucn as
semblagcs be for religious worship, or to
celebrate wedding or funeral, the penalty
is the same.
2. Though slave testimony is good for
nothing against white men it is good
enough to one another. Even though it
be whipped out of poor frightened crea-
ture whaling him within an inch Of his life:
it answers every purpose.
g. Though the laws arc all made by
white men, and are as severe and one-slded
as possible, yet the poor slave suspected Of
conspiracy to revolt is not allowed such
protection as they profssr him; but let the
Interchangeable oafcrs get theonce notion
in the heads that there is or may be plot
among the slaves of any locality to revolt,
and at once they set to work arresting,ov
hauling, questioning, whipping, torturing,
hanging, without the least regard either
for the sacred rights Of property or the
right Of the victims to such protection and
immunity as the law made by their mas
tiers youchsafes them. claw and Order
are only respected SO long as they operate
against these dumb, fettered chattels;
wherever they are likely to bear IN their
favor they are coolly brushed aside.

flee Dhen no man pursueth." Those who
doubt this can never have scanned carefully

slave conspiraces and medItated insErres~

AN ANTIouAR1AN BANquEr.-A GORE

| AN ANTIQUARIAN BANQUET.-A cores
pendent of the Boston Journal gives The
following account of an interesting anC
unique entertainment that recently cam,
off in Needham:
On the evening of December ! tn there
was an antique supper and levee at The
Town Hall in Needham, given by person:
connected with the church and society ii
the West Parish. Though the weather
was unpropitious, the assembly was large
and respectable, composed of the inhabi
tants of the town and delegations from the
neighboring villages. Mr.. Jonathan Full
Ter presided, assisted by Major Wright anc
others The tables were bountifuly spreac
in the style ofl776, with turkey, chickens
beef and pork; immense pewter platters
covered with s.biled vittles," baked beans
huIed corn, succatash, hasty pudding, be
side other buildings and pastry n great va
riety, with plentiful spfihalings of mugs O.
hard cider.
The company at the table presented 6
very amusing appearance. Here was
party dressed in the costume of mat
rons of Revolutionary memory, of the
Court and the camp, of the parlor and The
kitchen, and opposite them another compa
ny of young men, with the powdered wigs
top boots, brooches and skirted vests
which were worn hundred years ago by
their fathers, personating every variety o
profession and calling of the "olden time.
On an elevated platform sat ladies attired
in the style of the nobility and of the
court, with powdered hair combed back
from the forehead and gathered in knot
behind, surmounted with an immense
eomh with tiny fans in hand, and talking
with the profasely powdered gentlemen
who were bowling before them. On the
next seat sat the grandmother, with hel
gored dress, neat handkerchief pinned 4
lcross her breast, and her double frilled car
border bound under her chin with a file
of tlaek velvet. She had just left he
cards and spinning wheel, her reel ant
distaff. In one Of the rooms below. the

was drying and the squashes hung suspen
ded from the wall. After the repast tn

| THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Fore
TOLD IN THE BIRLH.-This was the subject
lof lecture delivered by Mr.. Pitts, in the
Tabernacle, New York, recently. The lee
ture demonstrated that the rise of great
nationality was promised in an age of in
teligence, energy and locomotion, and ar.
gued that this was not literally the restora-
ton of the Jews, but the prophecy was re-
allied in the political and religious organi-
cation of the United States. That this
country arose when and where it was prom
ised, at the end of l 80 prophetic days
from the destruction of Jerusalem, which
period terminated on the 4th Of July, 1776.
lie said that the land pictured in the
prophecy CT Daniel, was to be inhabited
by people gathered out of all nations !;
that it was to be located between two seas
the Eastern and Western-that its cit
les and villages should have neither walls
nor gates, nor bars, and that it was to be
first visited by the ships of Spain; that
emigration should come for the freedom of
worshipping God, and that 1t was to be a
Republic, and that this Rept bic slsossid
be an epoch in the history of humanity,
to learning, agriculture, commerce and
trade; that the United States was the
stone kingdom promised by Daniel-the
man child born of the Virgin Woman of
the Wilderness-the land shadowing with
wings. In fact, that this great country
and Government was child of Providence,
and was nurtured and raised up as the
model Government of the world, to which
the empires of the earth would finally con
form. But before Republication became
world wide, the great battle of civil and
religious liberty on one side, and ecclesias-
teal despotlsm on the other would come
off on the field of Armageddon. True or
false, the speaker evidently placed his ar
guments clearly and logically before an
approaching audience New York Pa

DISSERTATION AT MOUNT VERNoH.-The
Washington correspondent of the Phla-
'ielphia Inquirer says: Just after leaving
the Railroad Depot, one notices on the
right new building of considerable dimen-
ions, and evidently intended for manufac-
tnring purposes of some sort. 1t appears
that sonl6 one or more adventurous indi-
viduals have purchased of the proprietors
of Mount Vernon all the trees and shrub
berry left on tile estate, at cost it is said
of twenty tholisand dollars. The building
ard machinery spoken of will probaly cost
zen thousand more, and this large outlay is
TO be reimbursed by the manufacture and
sale of Washington or Mount Vernon canes.
You will perceive tnat it will require sale
of a: least thirty thousand Of these canes,at
rs low "a price as one dollar apiece in order
to repay the original capital invested.

On SLEEP.-Sleep is the most powerful
restorative of the system. 1t re ews the
daily ebb of life, and arrests its rapid flow,
recruiting the exhaustion produced by It's
drains and soils, and wear and tear. There
is no inyariable rule for all persons with the
respect to the amount Of time to be spent
in sleep. 1t is regulated by the age, con-
stitution, and habits of the Individual
During the entire period of the growth of
the body, more sleep, so more food it re-
quires to repair the wants Of the structures,
and to restore their sensibility and irrita-
bility, and exhausted by the incessant ac-
tivity of the weaking period. Hence hose
who use much exertion sleep soundest. In
the prime of life waste is not SO great, and
a less supply is necessary. In cid age,
when the waste of vital powers is least of
all, there is the smallest necessity for sleep.
But the very extremes of life unite in sleep
ing away most of the time, too little sleep
is relatively to the activity or the body I'M
duly exhausts the irratibility of the sys-
TEN. inducing dulness, sluggishness, un-
wieldiness and corpulence. Eight hours
for youths and six hours for adults is about
an average term for sleep.
For sleep to be speedy and perfect, all
cores, emotions, and thoughts should be
laid aside with ones clothes; and every ex-
(ternal excitement of the nerve, as by
sounds, light, DC, withdrawn as far as pos
sible Nightcaps had far better be dis
pensed with, and people should accustom
themselves to sleep with a part Of the win

Origin Of the late Chinese Figaa
in California.


Fir: James Hanley, "Chinese interpre-
ter" addresses lengthy communication,
dated from Chinese Camp, to The Union
Democrat, (Sonora,) in which he gives an
account of the origin Of the late Chinese
difficulties in that quarter. As it processes
to be a reliable narrative of some curious
circumstances, we will find place for it,
He says:
About two months ago two Companies
of Chinese-the Sam-yap and Yan-wo-
were working side by side at Two Mile
Bar, Stanislaus River, who qiarrelled with
each other concerning large stone, about
two tuns weight, which the latter had roll
ed on the formers claim. Words and
blows instantly ensued betwixt them. The
Sam-yap being twelve in number and the
Yo-wo but six. had not mitch difficulty in
conquering their opponents, whereupon
each called on the brethren Of their respec-
tive orders 10 assist them, who answered to
the summons and collected together. The
Sam-yap sent to San Francisco and bought
one hundred and fifty muskets, bayonets
and cartridges; but the sJohns," not
knowing how to handle them hired num-
Der of white men to teach them our art of
destruction at SO per day, including rice
and whiskey. Fifteen Of them painted
themselves yellow, put on the Chinese
costume, with three feet Ct horsehair tail
hanging down their backs, united in the
ranks of the San-yaps to shoot down the
Hakalo (Yan-wo.) But the most of the
Chinese prepared to fight in their own
fashion, made long pixies from twelve to
eighteen feet long, butchers choppers and
tridents. The battle ground was chosen
on Kentucky Ranch, about four miles dis
tant from Chinese Camp.
On the morning of the 25 Of Septem-
Der, the members of the Yan-wo, 600
strong started from Chinese Camp to meet
their opponents, who were 1900 strong,
at the place agreed on. About 10 o'clock
A. M. both parties came into COLLISION
They fired in all about one hundred shots
and retreated, killing two Of the Yan-wo
men, and wounding one. Two Of the
Sam-yaps were wounded, one having his
nose blown off. and the other his leg bro
ken close by his ankle. AS soon as the
Sam yaps had wounded two Of the Yam
wos, they instantly rushed on them-stab-
bed them all over the body, carried them
off on tridents, out of the reach of the en-
emy's bullets, and cut them to pieces as
they would hog, and afterwards carried
the remains out of sight, burned them TO
ashes and scattered them to the winds of
heaven. The Yan-wo men, having but
twelve nuskets, were unfit to compete with
the Sam-yaps, retreated, more affrighed q,
the fifteen painted yagabonds, than at the
odd numbers of their opponents, but pro-
ceeded to fight them with Chinese arms
and cast their muskets aside. This the
Sam-yaps refused and retreated to THEN
quarters at Rock River Branch, about foul
miles distant.
