Freaks of Fanaticism.

A man calling himself. Elijah, the Prophet"
made his appearance in the streets ofSt. Louis
a few days since, dressed in a red robe, and
drawing great crowds after him. He wore
his hair and beard long, both reaching nearly
to his waist. For fear of disturbance, which
at one time seemed imminent, he was invited
| by the police to sojourn at the Calaboose, du-
ring his residence in that city. After the
| excitement ceased, the Prophet was dischar-
ged, and left the city for some genial lati-
| tude.
The people ofJOhnstown, Orange Township,
Hancock County, Ohio, we see, are violently
exercised by report that an angel from
heaven has made a descent in that vicinity,
and been holding converse with human beings.
This is the story-(and we give it with the
assurance that it is perfectly reliable, and
entitled to con6dence):
Sometime in August last, bright and
intelligent little girl, aged five years, and
daughter of Mr.. Charles, who resides in the
locality described, while playing near the
well in the yard, about noon of the day,
seemed to discern something high up in the
air, and descending towards her. The attention
of the child was so much drawn to the object
that her gaze became riveted upon it and, as
it drew nearer, she was observed to make
frequent attempts to reach it with her hands,
and form closer acquaintance with the
strange visitant. When the mother of the
child was called to the scene. the little girl
then informed her that she was now in the
presence of an Angel; that she had talked
with it; that it had made communications to
her; and further more, gave description oft,
according in every particular with the gener
ally received impression of the appearance of
these messengers from above. To satisfy
herself that there could be no delusion in the
matter. the mother entered into conversation
with the stranger, and after being satisfied of
the reality OF the interview-after having seen
and taLked trih The Angi, face 10 fdce-and after
receiving information from it of the precise
time when her own death would occur-she
retired from the spot, taking her little girl
with her, and the Angel, waving its bright
wings, returned Heavenward."
The story further runs, that the death ofthe
little girl took place on day that had been
predicted by the angel-and that all the
"facts" have been sworn to before a Justice of
the Peace, &c. Now, what next?

Hon. Horace Maynard.

We are gratified to state that Mr.. MAYNARD
made speech in the House of Representa-
tives, on the 10th inst, in favor of the adj
mission of Kansas as a slave State, with the
Lecomption Constitution. We have never
had any doubt as to either his. or Gen. ZoL-
LICoFFER's position on this important ques-
ton. The Louisville papers contain very
brief Geographic notice of his speech; but AZ
we expect to republsh the entire speech so
soon as our Globe comes to hand, we omit it,.

bill granting an amnesty To all persons who
have been engaged in duels before the LIST OF

operations of the anti-daeiling law, bat merely
grants an amnesty 10 those who had como
under the disabilities contained in il before

have ever seen in this country, was presented
to us, yesterday, by our very worthy friend,
Mr.. Abraham Tolles, who has established a
broom mandatory on his ranch, about p
miles from this city If all the brooms he
makes are ofthe quality that this one IS, we
will guarantee that there will be no lack of
good brooms in this section, as long as Mn

ton, says New Orleans correspondent of the
Alta, informs us that the Senatorial Demo-
cratic caucus had agreed, by vote of seven
teen to seven, to oust Senator Douglas from
the craftsmanship of the Committee on Terri
tories, and to replace him by Green, of Mis-
souri, If this be true, and have no doubt
ofit what roasting these seventeen gentle
men are preparing for Douglas now goes
to Washington stronger than he has ever
been, with large portion of the South to
back him in his struggle with Mr. Buchanan,
besides the Western powers which he secured
in his favor by his stand against the Lecomp-
ton swindle

MORE NULLIFICATI ON IN SouTH CAROLINA
In the Legislature of that State the following
resolutions have been introduced in the Sen
ate by Mr.. Mazyck;
" Resolred, That the Constitution of the
United States contains no grant of power to
regulate, prevent or restrict commerce among
foreign nations and, therefore, all acts of
Congress purporting to prohibit or interfere
with the slave trade, between foreign coun-
tries, are unconstitutional, and have no right
full force or effect.
" Resolved, That the Act of Congress de-
claring the Slave Trade to be piracy, if it
be understood as affirming that it is piracy, in
the nature of things and in the sense of the
Constitution affirms what is not true; and,
inasmuch as it purports and intends to con-
vert into piracy what is not so in the nature
of things, and in the sense of the Constitu-
tiou, the said Act is unconstitutional, null and
void"
The subject, in another form, is before the
Legislature of Georgia. Does not all this
seem as if we were stepping backward few
hundred years?

WAR WITH THE CAMANCHEs.-It is conceded
by all of the old Indian traders, and Others
who are acquainted with the Camanche char.
acter, says the Fort Smith (Ark Times, that
we are to have long and bloody war with
the Camanches, and that a peace cannot be
made with them till they are forced to it, by
being overpowered by our troops 1t is ex-
pected that they will be very fierce and saw
age in the spring; or, as soon as they can get
an advantage They are like the wandering
Arabs always on horseback, prowling about
the prairie, ready to murder and rob all who
may come in their way. They will prove
troublesome for some years to come.

The Pollock TEsTIMoNIAL.-We observe

The Telegram says that no expenses will be
incurred, so that not a cent will be deducted
from the gross receipts Thus those who
pay dollar towards the benefit may be Ger
tain that it will surely be appropriated to the
purpose for which it is intended.

ALL ENGAGED.-Our devil wiped off his
sulphur rugged himself up in his "store

next morning we asked him if he danced any Z?
"D-n it. no." he replied, four devil ciH
swear,) d-n it, no | went to all the gals in
the house, at least dozen times apiece, and

ten years in the State prison, for an assault
with intent to murder woman named Trim.
idad Hernandez. on Sullivan's Alley, few
weeks since. lie stabbed and cut the woman
in several places without the least provoca.
tion on her part. He was jealous of her at
tentions to another, and sought to murder
Trinidad in the most brutal manner, at late
hour of the night, when he supposed he was
not observed Her cries, however, attracted
the attention of several citizens passing at
the moment, who rushed to her assistance,
and arrived just in time to stay the murder
er's hand, as he was in the act of cutting the
woman's throat.

HARD WoRK.-Horse flesh has to suffer
considerably nowadays, in endeavoring to
drag loads of living and dead freight over
the mud incrusted corduroy roads, which are
dignihed by being called streets. During
half an hours walk Tuesday, says the San

horses, hors d" combat, wallowing in the
mud, and their drivers in no merry mood at
the prospect of loading aud unloading.
