Of building such roads, and the Inevitable
effect of this state eff ,thiRes is to drain
KeBtucky, as il does every other Southern
State4 Of 4I0rt money, Of her population

cap talist and to every citizen Of South
who contemplstes removal from bis present

than any other section of the coartry by
sfhe Locofoco party in Congress. they
see that this party is bidding for the vote

set in to this region adding to the power Of
the North and weakening that of the South,
This process is certain to continue unless
the policy Of the Democracy is changed;
but Wilt be done? We cannot believe L..
AS we have said before, and as we most
solemnly ndreligiously believe this party
|, is the direst enemy to the South that ever
existedih the nation. The worst of enc
mics is q pretended friend, and such an en-
envy is the Democratic party. To secure
votes, naked simple votes, il welcomes my
iriads of foreign abolitionists to our shores
year after year. For this it builds up Nor
thern States and tramples on the South
For this it hastens the day when the South
will lose its equality in the Senate. as it has
already lost, it in the House. For this il
! goes to the North at the end of every four
years, and foists upon the South some tenn
poriser upon the slavery question, and for
this alone it uniformly legislates at every
session of Congress-. Years ago this party
crushed the land bill of Henry Clay, which
provided for an equal distribution OF the
4 proceeds Of the public domain, and il
4 seems rs if it was beaten, mepely in order
to rob the true and trusty South of her
share, in order that it might be given to her
enemies. The public lands were main:

suppose, when she was winning them upon
battle fields, that they were to be CONVEX

is the case, and we have hailed with delight
the symptoms Of rising indignation
4 throughout the South at the long drawn
out wrongs to which she has been subjee-

Professor Agassiz on Civilization Under

We take from Professor gaasiz's late report on fishes, the following description of all Ame- rican fish:
 have had ample opportunity to watch the Pqnaetis, in the breeding season every spring, Tor the last eight years. At that time it ap- breaches in pairs the shores of the ponds in which it lives, and selects shallow, gravelv places, overgrown with Potanloget0n, water-li- lies, and other aquatic plants, in which it be- gins by clearing space of about foot in da- meter, roofing out the plants, removing with violent jerks of its tail the larger pebbles, and leaving clean spot of fine sand, in which it deposits its eggs. surrounded and overshadow. ed by grove of verdure. In this enclosure one of the parents remains lowering over its brood and keeping at distance all intruders.
 The office of watching over the progeny does not devolve exclusively upon either of the sexes, but the males and females watch alter nately. The ferceneSs with which they dart at their enemies, and the anxiety with which they look out for every approaching danger, show that they are endowed with stronger in- stincts than have been known heretofore in any of their class. Their foresight goes so far as to avoid the bait attached to any hook, how ever near it may be brought to them, and how ever lively and tempting lt may be.
 However hear to one anOther the pair of one nest do not interfere with those of another; but like good nei5hbors they i've peaceably toge, ther, passing over each others domains when going out for food without making any distur- bance. But whenever an unmated single fish makes lis appearance among the nests, he is chased away like an ntruding libertne and va sabond. The development of the esg is very rapid. In less than week the young are hatched, and the parents soon cease to take any charge of them.

FREE SUFFRAGE IN NORTH CARoLINA-At the late election in North Carolina |" free suf frage" was adopted by an overwhelming vote of the people of the State. As most of our readers may not fully understand the question we make the following explanation as furnish ed by the Raleigh Standard:
 Our State constitution provides that no one shall vote for Senator in the State legislature who does not own fifty acres of land. The constitution also provides that no amendment shall be made to that instrument unless a bill for the purpose shall have passed one general assembly by three ffths vote of all the mem- bers; nor shall the said amendment even then be made unless approved by a majority of the people, landhoders and non-landholders. at the baIlot-box. An amendment, striking out this freehold qualification for voter in tho Senate, and extending the right of suffrage to all native and naturalizcd citizens who may have paid taxes, was passed by the three fths vote in 1854, and by the two-thirds vote in 1916 and was submitted to the people to be approved or rejected at the late election.
 This measure originated with the democratic party in l048, when Governor Reid, the author of 1t, was in the field for the first time as their candidate for governor. It Itencountered the ds- clded opposition of the whig party, many of whose leaders labored for years to defeat it. But the democrats stood by it manfullv. and It has at last triumphed by an immense malori- tV.

Great Battle with the Gila Apaches.

Col Roberts, U $. Army, arrived in this city yesterday, from Albuquerque, New Mexico little over four weeks on the route, travelling with his family and Mrs. Lieut. Lane, of the Rifles. Col Roberts was particularly favored, in having very fine weather. He met very few Indians. On his route he observed large herds of buffalo
 Just as Col. Roberts was leaving Santa Fe, dispatch was received by the commanding officer, stating that Col. Miles, in command of the southern column of the army in New Mexi- co, had met the Gila Apache Indians, on the Gla river, and in the battle which ensued twenty-five of the Indians were killed and left dead on the field; more than thirty were wound ed, and large amount of property fell into the hands of Col. Miles. The enemy was com petey routed, as may be imagined from the result of the engagement. Lieut.. Steen, of the lst Infantry, Lieut.. Davis, 1st Dragons, and nine privates were wounded, how severely was not stated in the dispatch.

The business of the onrt is, however, small and unimportant.- g,e influence of religious revivals has been po- ,,nt here in supressing litigation and in pre- irving peace, order and brotherly love. Murder, theft, and other crimes are seldom .mmitted in this county.

 The Hon. T. F. Sorrels has given general atisflcton. His charge to the grand jury on Monday morning. was able and eloquent. As an honest conscientious man Judge Sorrels has no superior, and as judge of ability and learning he has few equals. To the bar, and garties litigants he has given almost universal atSfaction.

Sam Sued in Kentucky---Pleads that He
 is Dead

On Friday last suit was tried in the circuit court of Campbell county, Kentucky, Judge Moore presiding, brought by Shpley & Bros, engravers, for seals engraved for the know nothing grand council of Kentucky, and other councils in that State. The action was against A. D. Smalley and Major Caldwell, who were the agents of the council in ordering the seals. Ira Root and R. NJ. Webster appeared for the plaintiffs, and John w. Stevenson, (recent ly elected democratic member of Congress- ] for the know nothings.
 large amount of correspondence between the litigants was read, all very af1ectionate, commencing "d dear brother" and ending yours fraternally."
 The difference made by Mr. Stevenson, coun. sel for the know nothings, was, that, as Sam was dead, the suit should be brought against the administrator of Sam's estate, and not against the agents. The court, however, over ruled this, and gave judgment against the de- fendants for $392 50. The original bill was for $35O, the balance was interest
