GREAT CHALLENGE.

The Georgia sportzlasv. some time since
sent forth challenge to the world-intended
for Great Britain of course--to run match
race of four miles and repeat for 500, 600 a
SIDE over the Ten Brock Course at Savan-
ah. The Georgans propose, in case the Brit.
ish accept their challenge and their horse is
beaten, to refund five per cent of the purse, or
$1,000, to pay expesaes.t The London Sun
day Times insists that ! company shall be
formed in England to accept the challenge,
and test the superiority Of the horses of the
two countries. The Tines calls upon Lord
Zetland to become the Champion of the British
Turf, and send out his ngele horse Skrmisher,
6 to do battle against american celebri-
ties" The indications are that the match viii
be made for next seasonaaad il so we may look
for the greatest and mos exciting race which
the world ever witnessed

Sad Result of Cruel Punis hment.

From the Louisville Journal we clip the fol-
lowing: Some three or four years ago the
son of the warden of prison in a neighboring
State-a bright, intelligent, handsome boy Of
seventeen-was detected by his father in the
commission of an offence, for which he no
doubt merited and should have received an ap-
plication of the rod from the hands of the par
ent. The father, however, instead OF apply
ing the punishment usual in such cases of youth
full delinquency, arraigned his child, stripped
him of his ordinary clothing shaved the hair
from his head, and dressed him in the striped
garb of convict, confined him within the
walls Of penitentiary, there to remain until
the unnatural parent should see proper to re-
lease him. -
" For weeks, the boy, unable to help himself,
underwent the rigid discipline Of the prison,
and performed the duties assigned to convicts;
the most humiliating and degrading Of which
was to appear in the public thoroughfares of
his native town, and assist with a.team engag-
ed in hauling. Citizens shook their heads,
and puplic execration towards the warden be-
so strong and decided that he was compelled
at once to restore his son to liberty, and he
came very near being turned out of Office
cas- soon as released, the dshonored boy,
broken in pride and spirit, fled from his home
asd for long time nothing was heard of him,
until at length he turned up in the California
courts accused OF burglary.
He was acquitted, and about a wear since
returned to the Atlantic States--poing from
one to another of our large cities, ana l,lune-
ing into every spices of dissipation and vice
AEfew months since he was arrested in one of
our principal cities for arson and robbery,
had his trial and received for his sentence ten
years solitary confnementin the penitentiary--
and but last week he was brought back to the
home ofhis boyhood, one of gang of thirty
chained felons in charge of the sheriff. He
met at the PRISONS threshold, his own father,
still the warden. And so near father, mother
brothers and sisters-who are all respectable
members of society--he must serve out his long
and dreary term Of punishment

Making Ready for Them.

Precautionary measures have been taken il
view of the possibility Of a riot and attack up
on Government property in New York. Ar
officer in charge of the United States finds
has requested permission to call up the FEEDER
al troops if necessary; a Cabinet meeting was
held respecting the matter Monday afternoon,
and orders were given of the most efficient
character The Administration is said to be
greatly incensed with Mayor Wood, and in
serious dread of what bis Message may lead to.
The city authorities are also on the alert and
i is hardly probable that any serious disturb
ance can occur.-Jerssy City Courier.

Fearful Judgment.

The Hollidaysburgh Standard, of late
date, says: " For some days past there has
been singular story ahoat in this community.
Whether true or not, we are not prepared to
say, but the information comes from such re-
liable source thatwe are free to say there must
be something in it. It appears that one day
last week man in the eighborhood of Mount
Union, Huntingdon county, while cleaning
grain, suddenly discovered that the weevil had
destroyed the greater part of it. This so ex-
asperated him that he blasphemed the Saviour
in such a willful, malicious and wicked man
ner thatit will not bear putting in print. He
left the barn and went to- the house where he
seated himself in chair, where he had re-
manned but a few minutes before he turned to
his wife, and asked her what she said. She
replied that she had not spoken | thought
said he, that heard somebody say that
must sit here till the Judgment day It is
now alleged that be is still sitting in the chair
unable to rise or speak, with his eyes rolling,
and totally incapable of moving his body. His
family, it is said, has left the house, where he
still remained, seated in the chairon Saturday
last What q terrible warming TO blasphe-
iners who suffer their passions to oyersway their
Judgment"

Imports and Exports Of the United
States.

We learn from the National IntelIigencer,
that the average annual Imports Of cotton and
wooden manufactures into the United States
are about $50, 000, 900. The average animal
imports of iron manufactures Of iron and steel
are about twenty five Millions of dollars; total
one hundred Millions Tksre is no actual ne
cessity for importing dollars worth Of cotton
and WOODEN goods, becatse we manufacture
them ourselves; and there is no actual neces-
sity for importing a dollars worth of iron,
because we have enough Of that in Pennsylva-
MIA, Maryland and Virginia to supply not only
ourselves but the residue Of the world; and
there is no very pressing rseessity to import so
largely of manufactured ak Without enter
ing into arguments, suggested that
if the imports Of the artaies under these three
heads were reduced one half-say fifty millions
of dollars there would tie no occasion for
panies and financial reyulsi0ns. Exporting if-
ty millions of dollars in gold per annum is a Sc
rious matter to any country; we can stand
most things, but not that long. Importing ff-
ty millions ofdollars per annum is quito another
affair and this nor any akIer country can stand
that to the end Of tins nder it there would
be no panics and revuIsfonat

TREMENDOUS ExPLosIoN.-At Providence.
4. l., on Thursday of last week, steam boil
er in Heywards India Rubber Works explo-
ded, and the five buildings constituting the
works were destroyed. Two hundred people
were at work in the establishment at the time.
Many of the girls jumped out of the windows
and some of them were injured, but not seri-
ously. The boiler was thrown 500 feet, ana
in its course carried away the side of house
where the family were at breakfast. Two of
the workmen were severely injured, but it is
hoped not fatally. The loss was $50, 900; in
sured in New York. The cause of the explo-
sion was lack of water in the boiler.

The Patterson Guardian, of Monday eve
ming gives the following account of an attack
upon Mr. r. r. Paulson, the Surrogate of
Bergen county. Itoccurred one day last week
The gentleman had been to New York upon
business, and was returning from Hoboken
Ferry. Near Weehawkin Hill his attention
was arrested by somebody calling from behind
that his wagon wheel was coming off. At
first he thought nothing of it; but directly up
looking out found that such was the case
Upon stopping the carriage, the strangers who
had informed him of the fact came up and
helped him to get the wheel well on and ready
to start again. just as Mr.. Paulison was
about to get into the vehicle, one of the stran-
gers slipped bag over his head, and robbed
him of gold watch and eight dollars in
money. Tying the bag about bis middle with
his arms inside, they left him in that helpless
condition until they could make good their es-
cape. Mr.. Paulison finding it utterly impossi-
BILE to escape, resigned himself to his condition,
and remained standing in the road, bagged
most effectually, until farmer drove along,
discovered his predicament, and released him.
No injury was done to his person, and it is sup
posed the intention only was to get money
1t is also supposed that the fellows had by
walking close behind the carriage, managed to
unscrew the nut which secured the wheel, and
hence they produced the accident of which they
notified Mr.. Paulison for the purpose of facili-
ating the robbery.

From Utah.

The government has received intelligence
from the military post at LeaVenworth to the
effect that the Mormons are calling in their
people and making preparations to resist the
troops now on their way to Utah, under com
mand of Colonel Johnston There is no doubt
of the truth of this report. The breaking up
of the Mormon congregations in the Atlantic
States, the exodus of the Saints from Carson
Valley, the defiant speeches of the head men
at Salt Lake City, and the thorough military
organization and martial spirit that began at
Nauvoo and is continued in Utah, al confirm
it. But there is little obaoility of the Nor
mons carrying their tRT9ass to the extreme
point Of actual collisionh A. the. forces of It'd
federal goFernment. ,gHsf6eeE, However, to bg
prepared for even such contingency, the az,
ministration will, it is stated, direct General
Harvey, now in command of the troops in Kan
sas, to remain at Fort Leavenworth; and in
the event of hostlities, that distinguished Off
Ger will be dispatched, at the head of a large
force, to the scene Of action.

sa~ According to the weekly statement of
the New York banks, the amount of specie
they now hold is nearly thirteen millions of
dollars, which is equal to the average amount
they held for some time before the money pan
ic came on. The increase over the previous
weeks statement is nearly two and half mil
lions. This, coupled as it is with large in
crease of deposits, decrease of circulation and
further contraction of loans, shows that the
Banks are determined to fortify themselves in
every possible way, even if the business com
munity have to suffer.
