The wnmdcrer Returned.

Our readers doubtless r~ecollect the notice
We gave a few weeks back Of an individual
seen in our town, who was in the last stage Of
dissipation and wretchedness. His story was
a common one-he WAS not accustomed to
drink but had been tempted near Mont
gomery, Ala; his liquor was dragged the
next he receIlects, he was lying on the road,
and his money all gone. Sold his boTse--got
up thus far, on his way to Mississippi. 1t
will be recollected also, that we stated in
postscript that an individual of this town
There were two noble hearts which assisted
him) had taken him to his house, fed and
clothed him, and gave him money to go home.
The unfortunate man has arrived home safe,
and has written back a most excellent and
feeling letter to the gentleman who assisted
him, enclosing him trenty dollars, and telling
him that he had the prayers Of brothers, sisters
and friends, for his great goodness to the
~writer-and saying that he had it not then,
but that he would in a short time, send the
other gentleman in this place, the money due
him for his assistance.
1t is pleasant to record such acts as these
they are some Of those bright spots in the
heart of a cold and calIous world, which burst
forth occasionally, and lift man nearer to his
God. Would there were more Of such prac~
tees among mankind.

The Associate Jussiceship.

The Bee of Wednesday last, thus speaks of
the candidates for Associate Justice Of the
Supreme Court:
For the latter office two candidates have
been placed in nomination--both Of them lr-
respective of party, both gentlemen of excel
lent private character and respectable legal
sttainments. The contest will therefore be a
friendly one, altogether nnimbittered by POI
litical animosities; and Whether Judge LEA,
the present estimabIe incumbent. or Judge
COLE, his honorable, able and high.minded
competitor, prove successful, the citizens Of
tie District may consider that they have Sc
cured the services Of an impartial, discrimina-
ting and capable Judicial fuuctionary. The
measure of personal popularity enjoyed by
either candidate viii probably decide the re-

Character

The Cleveland Herald gives the following
account of q most singular being, who has
run risks ia convict life that almost outatrip
the feats ascribed even TO the notorious Jack
Sheppard. The Herald says:
The penitentiary contains lots of characters.
but among them all, Archibald Barnes is The
character. He ia writing his lie, and If only
truthful, will be "a strange, eventfuI history"
He was first sent to prison from Lorain, in
1853, for burglary, feigned insanity, was sent
to the Iunatic asylum, escaped, went back to
Lorain, was betrayed by a relative, sent back
to the penitentigry, again escaped, was SOON
after sent to the Indiana penitentiary for eight
years, for passing counterfeit money, then res
manded to Ohio On n reQuisitlon, escaped from
the officer on the way, was retaken, again
escaped before reaching the Indiana prison,
established himself as q school teacher at
Galena, H., courted n young lady, was about
being married, and was again sent for and
consigned to his old quarters in the Ohio
penitentiary. The Columbus Gazette states
tia Barnes has stree made continual but in-
%effectual efforts to escape, has again and again
by some ingenious contrlVance, unlocked the
door of his cell, dug out of his dungeon, cut
his way through the ceiling OF the hospital,
and the walls of the chapel, but has been
foiled in all his efforts by the vigilance of the
officers. He says that if there were two
chances to be killed and but one to escape,
that he should make the attempt. The
Gazette says:
Barnes is a fine looking man, about five feet
ten inches high, full forehead, brown hair,
large dark blue eyes, and heavy eyebrows.
His troubles appear to have originated from
the false notions imbibed when first starting
out in life. lie cherished the idea that the
present condition of society was all wrong,
and that it was his duty TO see it right. For
this purpose, he organized q secret band to
regulate society, TO take from the rich and to
give 10 the poor. None but men Of honofa-
bic character, and Of temperate habits, were
admitted. How far this secret influence ex-
tended, is not known; but ii is pretty well
ascerlained that men holding Offices of trust
and honor belonged to it. Archibald and his
two brothers were leading spirits, and IS the
natural result of their mistaken views. all
three of the brothers. Archibald, aged Is,
Seman, aged %, and Walter, aged 81, found
themselves in the peniteniiary. After being
there a few days, they found another brother
in one of the work shops, under the assumed
name of N. T. Wheeler, who had been sent
from Perry county for passing counterfeit
money. This brother died in the prison,
October IL, 1854, of typhoid fever. All four
of these brothers were noble looking men,
and bore u striking family resemblance.

FROM NICARAGUA.

The following teIegraphic despatch TO The
Picayune, from New York, is discouragiog TO
the friends of Walker:
Nep York, March 20,--Tfe steamer Tens
nessee, from Nicaragua, arrived to-day.
Walker had attacked San George, and was
driven back by the Costa Rieans.
Lockridge made an attack on the allies
but was defeated through the cowardice of Col.
Titus, who led the N~icaraguana.
The Picayune, however, publishes another
from a private source from New York, which
gives quite a contradictory statement. The
Tsras will be in, in a few days, when the
whole truth will be known.

The Prospective Sugar Crop in Illinois,
We find the following paragraphs in the st.
Louis InteIligencer of the 18th inst:
Mr.. L. S Baker, of Rochester Mills, Wa

that he shall plant twenty-five acres with the
Chinese sugar cane the present season. Il

linois will in five years make her own sugar,
and if | have luck ! shall make this season
enough sugar, and certainly with moiasses, to
supply my little town. At oil events ! shall

Mr., Kroh, of Wabash county, who some
months ago made a statement Of the result of
his experiments with the sugar cane last year,
offers to bet the s~kepticaI editor of the Charles.

from one acre, planted with the Chinese aeed
fre hundred gallons Of moIasses, 4 superior
