Several young ladies who had been in the habit
Of bathing in beautiful river, on Lake Geneva,
near Milwaukee, were informed that certain
"booby" was in the habit Of "peeping" at them
through the hazel bushes On the next occasion,
while some Of the younger females made prepare
ton for the bath, the older ones searched for and
found the BOBBY snugly ensconced among the
bushes. They seized, and having stripped him,
proceeded to hazel his hide, in such way, it is
thought, that he will never again indulge in peep
ing at ladies under such circumstances.

At the banquet attending the recent celebra- ton in Columbia, s. O., Col. Keitt was called out by toast During his remarks he related that Hon. Preston s. Brooks, at the time of bis death, was having prepared sgnet rino to commemorate an incident that happened to his younger brother at the battle of Cnurubusco Mexico. It is as follows:

Oregon and Slavery.

Although there are no slaves Ill the territory of Oregon, and but few blacks of any sort, it seems that the people there are discussing the question of organizing a State government which shall recognize and authorize slavery. The Oregon Statesman, leading and influential journal of the Territory, conducted by New England man, has the following:
 With the constitution will undoubtedly be submitted to the people, separate provisions making 1t both slave and free State, and whichever receives majority of the votes of the electors, will thereby become part of the fundamental law Which of these propositions will be successful we cannot and care not to predict. The number of voters in favor of in- troducing slavery into Oregon is at least one hundred per cent. greater than 1t was one year ago; we believe it is three hundred per cent greater.
 We do not believe there are five hsndred voters in Oregon who, in exercising their suf- frases upon this question, will be influenced by considerations of the morality or mmorali- ty, abrtract justice or injustice etc, of enslav ing the negro race. The only real questions here are is the introduction of slavery into Oregon practicable? and will it prove profitable? Those who favor it maintain that it is ana will; and those who oppose, that it is not, and will not "Will it pay?' is the question asked, and the opinion of the voters as to whether or not it will pay will determine it. Did our climate, production, and markets unquestionably favor slave labor Oregon would unquestonably knock for admission into the Union as a slave State. Whether they do or not to a sufficient extent to warrant the introduction of slavery-whe- ther or not it will be a paying institution for Oregon, is the consideration, and the only one, upon which the result will depend. Believing that it will prove practicable and profitable, not few northern men favor its introduction here and are advocating slave State, while some southern men are of the opposite opinion, and 1 favor free State.

Stalworth iu the congressional race The re- fusal of Mr. Woolsey to run has taken the Know othings all aback, and they are at loss what to do The conclusion to which Mr. Woolsey came in the matter was one of the most sensible things of his life, for he well knew that there was no chance for his election, espe- cially when he had to encounter such giant mind as that of Colonel Stalworth upon the stump.
