Fernando Wood, according to the N. Y.
Herald, has instituted magnificent libel
suit against Horace Greeley g. Co., of the
New York Tribune. The case will contain
seven hundred and fifty distinct libeIs,
charges Of swindling, thieving, forgery, etc.,
etc.
A gentleman from New York says that he
has no doubt Horace can prove the truth Of
every thing he has ever charged against Fer
nando Wood. One thing is patent, since
Wood was kicked out of the may orally, muir.
der, rape, rapine, thieving, and crime of every
grade has largely decreased in New York.
II Fernando had his deserts, instead of suing
editors for libels, he would be in the condi.
ton ofsoms Of the Banks-suspended, with
out the benefit of clergy.

The LAST OF THE MoGULs.-The old King

character, and are supposed to be one of the
principal resorts of the pirates of the Indian

The Boy PREAcHER.-The st. Louis
Democrat says of young Mr.. Fuller, who is
called the "Boy Preacher" whose age is but
seventeen years, that he has, for the last five
weeks, delivered in Marion county ffty-four
sermons, and had been instrumental in the
conversion of one hundred and forty-four
persons. Hehas been licensed to preach only
about two months, during which time he has
delivered upward of fifty discourses, and two
hundred and forty persons have been con-
verted through his instrumentnIity. It's said
that he never studies his sermons or makes
any notes, and frequently does not select his
text until he rises up in the pulpit to preach;
and yet, It Is said, no two of his sermons are
alike, either in point Of argument or compo-
sition. He speaks most eloquently, and uses
the most chaste and beautiful language
Calls to preach at various points are daily
pouring in upon him.

PoLrTIoAL PARTrEs.-The Memphis Eagle
q Enquirer says that "the inefiiciency, cor
ruption and centralizing Federalism Of the
Buchanan party, is arousing the people all
over the country to an organized opposition.
This results from the Administration being
purely one policy to the utter disregard Of
principle; hence, like the works Of the devil,
twill speedily come to nought. Govern
menss, like individuals, must be honest 10

upon public confidence withou. having that
"upright spirit and pure" which dares ever
to do right.

lutionary fathers, which have been more or
less dsregarded since the days of Jackson,
but now entirely repudiated by the domi.
nant party. When the present Administra-
ton was inaugerated, little more than one
yeas ago, the country was in the full tide of
prosperity; now, factories, mills and furnaces
are stopped; the rewards Of agricultural labor
have declined; the expenditure of the Federal
Government has largely increased; the
Treasury has been made bankrupt, and n
dlscord produced among the States which
aienates confidence in tho Union.
II is time that change come; that we cast
off the demoralizing and degrading policy
which is ruling and running the country, and
inaugurate National party which makes
honesty and capablity test for office, which
virtue owns, and which secures the greatest
good to the greatest number.

W The New York Times of the 9Th
says: The improvement in every department
of business continues to be steady and decid-
ed. Trade increases in nearly every branch,
and it is conducted upon much safer basis
than it has been for the past ten or twelve
years. More goods are sold for cash, and
where credits are given they are much short.
er than before the panic. Nor is it as easy
for every merchant from the country to OBJ
tain credit as it used to be. More careful in
quiries are made and greater pains are taken
to avoid loss and heavy accumulation of
doubtful debts. The effect of this upon all
parties, and upon the general business of the
country, is decidedly good.

tB- President Buchanan is certainly un.
pleasantly located. With large majority OF
his friends in both branches of Congress, he
still seems to be in minority on number
of important measures.
First-The refusal of Congress TO grant
troops 10 be sent into Kansas.
Second-The reputation of the army in
crease--on the plan suggested by the Secre.
tary Of War.
Third-The defeat of the Lecompton Con.
stitution.
Fourth-The defeat of the scheme to make
the admission Of Minnesota condition to the
admission of Kansas.
Fifth-The defeat of the Deficiency Appro.
priation Bill.
Here is matter for reflection. The Demo-
cratic party North voted for Buchanan on
stern Democratic principles, with oil the
power which money, great talent, and great
sectional excitement, could bring to bear to
oppose them. What has induced men, who
stood firm through the storm Of '56, to de-
sert their leader now, on some of the most
important administration messures!

eD Ata patty tho othvr evening, several
gentlemen contested the honor of having
done the most extraordinary thing. A Rev.
ernd d. d. was appointed to be the sole
judge of their respective pretensions. One
produced his tailor's bill with receipt al.
tached to it; a buzz went through the room
that this would not be outdone. A second
said he had returned two umbrellas which
had been left at his, house, to their respective
owners. THE palm is HIS was the univer-
sal cry; when third observed:
Gentlemen, cannot bonst of the feats
of either of my predecessors; but here is a
receipt from the Printer for all arrearages
and two years in advance for his paper!
I'll hear no more cried the judge, this is
the very ne plus ultra of honesty and un-
heard Of deeds; it is an act of virtue of which
l never knew any person capable. The
prize is yours.'

DEMOCRATIC EcoSoMY.--The Louisville
Journal observes that ii is shown by the re-
port of the Register of the Treasury, made
February IL, that the receipts of the United
States for the quarter ending Dec. 81, 1857,
were S7,os2,665, and the expenditures ST.
o35,653 OF; excess of expenditures for three
months ten millions Of dollars. The proba-
biity is that the receipts of the Government
during the current year will fall from thirty
to forty millions of dollars behind its expen-
ditures. This estimate speaks volumes in
regard to the economy promised by the De-
mocracy. 1t has been the fate of the nation
for years past to be brought in debt by the
Democratic party whenever they have had
control of our public affairs. A Wing Ad-
minstration will be necessary to restore the
Government to solvency.
