The Negro InsurrectiOn.

LOUISVILLE, january D.
The Memphis appeal, of Tuesday last,
says considerable excitement was ere
ated in San Francis County, by rumors
of a rising of the slaves during the
Christmas holidays. Several negroes
were whipped and confessed a plot.
A similar story came from Napoleon
vile, Louisiana.
The committee appointed by the May
or of Nashville and the Judge of David
son county to examine into the charges
of Instruction against certain negroes,
report that no evidence exist against
them, and recommend that they be dis
charged.
Mississippi papers ridicule the tele-
graphic report -ofa disturbance in Jack
son, and say it is utterly without foun-
dation.

Rejoicings in California over
Buchauan'S Election.

of December has the following:
The demonstration by the Young
Mems Democratic Club last evening, in
honor of the triumph of Buchanan and
Breckenridge, was one of the most mag
nificent displays we have ever Witnessed
in the United States. A vast process
sion, more than a mile in length-with
banners and transparencics-with torch
es, flags and devices-rendered plainly
visible as indaylight, by myriads of light
in the Illuminated streets through which
it passed-enlivened by the martial mu-
sic of many bands, and cheered by the
enthusiastic greetings of the ladies along
the entire line of march-paraded the
principal streets of the city from end to
end, and was everywhere received with
gl~addening shouts, with waving hand
kerchiefGs and with every imaginable ev-
idence Of exuberant patriotism by the
citizens. Rockets and blue lights blazed.
incessantly-thc sky was luminous with
every conceivable description of fire
works-the Democratic houses were one
sheet of radiant light-and all things
bore testimony to the delight Of the cit
liens at the election of Buchanan and
Breckenridge, and the consequent saliva
ton of the Union. The immense con-
course was at length dismissed by the
Marshall, with three cheers for Buchan-
and Breckniridge. We have never
witnessed a more satisfactory demonstra-
ton, or one more crcditable to the De-
mocracy.

Death of Father Matthaw.

Father Matthew, the renowned Apes
tie of Temperance, died at Cork on the
9th of December. His career has been
remarkable, and his influence among his
countrymen in Great Britain and Amer
lea will long be felt. Theobald Mat
thew was born in Thomasto~n, ireland,
October 10, 1870. He was left an or
phan at an early age, adopted by an
aunt and educated in Kilkenny Acade-
my and atMeynooth. He was ordained
to the priesthood at Dublin, having
previously entered upon his philanthro-
pic labors among the poor. The curse
of whisky, brought so fearfully to his
notice among these wretched people,
reused him to unwonted enthusiasm,
and he determined upon a crusade against
the demon alcohol. Adopting the prin-
ciple of total abstinence, he commenced
a series of meetings, and soon awakened
the latent enthusiasm of the Irish nature
to his assistance, mreting with a success
beyond the widest hopes. He travelled
from town to town through all the Is
land. His spotless fame preceded him,
and his progress was one triumphal
march. The authorities unbent their
dignity to do him honor and the people
followed and crowded around him with
adoration. He administered the pledge
to thousands at a time; at Nenagh to
twenty thousand in one day, at Galway
a hundred in two days; between
Galway and Loughrea to nearly two
hundred thousand. From ireland he
went to England, where even the phleg-
matte Saxons were infected with a cor
responding enthusiasm. Thence he
came te the United States, where to shake
hands with the Apostle of Temperance
and receive his medal with a pledge of
total abstinence, was the highest ambi-
ton of every worthy son and daughter
of the Emerald Isle. His warm reeep-
ton and gratifying success in this eoun-
try are well remembered. Through all
this h~erculean labor he never amassed a
cent for himself, but was constantly in
a state of personal poverty. When he
began his good work, his brother was
the proprietor of a large distillery. He
supported Theohald until his wonderful
success had ruined his distillery, and re-
duced the owner to bankruptcy. Te
meet the wants of the good Samaritan,
the British Goyernmentsettleda al annu-
ity of 9300 upon him, which sum was
just sufficient to pay the premium upon
an insurance policy held by his credit
ors as security for their claim.-N. I.

The Governor of Missouri ON the
Result Of the Election,

The Governor of Missouri, at the con
%clusion of his annual message to the
Legislature, says:
1 take great pleasure in congratula-
ting you on the auspicious result of the
Presidential contest by which these
States have just been convulsed. For
the first time in the history of the Re-
er of his Country have been disregard
ed by a large portion of its people, and
a sectional party, having with a few ig-
nominious exceptions) its adherents
solely in those States in which the in
stitution of slavery does not exist, has
been rallied to an attack upon the equal
ity of States, which is the cornerstone
of our Federal Institutions. But anoth-
er very large portion of the people of
these very States, and in some of them
a majority, have proved faithful to the
compromises of the Constitution, and
driven back thefood of fanaticism which
threatened to overwhelm us in its fury.
A large debt of gratitude is due by all
lovers of the Union and the Constitution
to the national men who met and con-
quered the foes of the Union and Con-
stitution in the, Northern States. Let
us trust that a conquest gained over such
heavy odds will prove a durable one
The experienced statesman who is about
to take the helm of our National Gov
eminent, has before him a task of deli
cacy and difficulty; but his principles
and previous public life afford us ample
guarantees that his aims will be only
the glory and prosperity of all the States,
and the p~erpetuation of the Union in
the spirit IN which it was formed by our
fathers.

a THsEF's DEvorIoNs DIsTURBrr

A TREES DEvoTIoNs DIsTURBED.-
Some weeks since, one Sam A. Ford,
twice an inmate of the Massachusetts,
State Prison, broke jail at Lenox, where
he was held for breaking into a store and
stealing $500 worth Of goods. He
reached Bangor, Maine, abundantIy sup
piled {for an escaped convict( with
clothing, jeweIry. and money. He took
obscure lodgings, aported two names,
and devoted himself to ladies' with re-
markable facility. Affairs went on
sWimmingly till Sunday evening last,
when the police discovered him, fanked
by two ladies, at a prayer meeting, at
the Methodist church with a hymn book
devoutiy grasped in his hands, He was
called from the company Of his eharmers,
rusty iron took the place of his hymn
book and he was started for his former
home IN Massachusetts. The "phe7
links Of the young ladies may be better
thought than told.
