that the Tyler and Pierce, proprietors of the
Commercial hotel in that city, having become
heavily indebted, privately departed on the

aged that it was not found out until the next

II will be remembered that the legislature of
Kansas territory, in 1856, designated Lecomp-
ton as the seat Of government, pursuant to
requirement Of congress. Subsequently, con-
gross made an appropriation for the erection Of
public buildings 5 that point, and portion of
the appropriation was expended. In April last
the Kansas legislature passed law changing
the location to Minnesota, and that, too, des-
pite the veto of governor Denver; and an at
tempt was made to dvertthe unexpended por-
ton of the moneys appropriated by congress to
the erection of public buildings at that point.
Attorney general Black has, however, decided
that the latter law of the Legislature involves a
violation of the law of congress making the
appropriation, and that the diversion Of the
appropriation from Leeompton is a fraud upon
the general government.

A young Turk says the Starr Berlin, "lately
carried off catholic girl from Stolaez, and
afterwards brought her to Monashr, with the
intention of marrying her as soon as she should
have embraced Islamism. The girl had de-
clared her willingness to do so, but the turkish
governor, Vassif. Pasha, exacted that all the
prescriptions indicated in such cases should be
fully executed, and that the girl should reside
for three days in a christian house, where her
relations and the catholic priests might have
free access to her. After this delay, during
which the young girl expressed her repentance
for the resolution she had taken, Yassif-P acha
ordered that she should be restored to her
family, and prohibited the young Turk from
again interfering with her. This act of toe-
rance and justice on the part of the pasta has
produced favorable impression IN the ceun-
try"

HW We have received from the au.
thor, Mr.. Edward Goodwin, a very beau.
t(ully bound copy Of novel entitled
Lilly White" This romance originally
appeared in the Huntsville Independent,
for which journal Mr.. Goodwin wrote it.
Several persons in our town have read it
and speak highly Of it. We are no ad.
vocate for trashy literature, but we do say
that it disgusts US to hear the hue and cry
that is generally raised against novel;
reading. 1t forms a subject for the school
|glrl's composition, and theme for the
would.be moralist. And yet life itself
is attended with romance, and some Of
the most interesting works one can read
may be found in the annals OF felton,
We scarcely ever read novel, because
we havn't time but we are by no means
inclined 10 decry them all because we
cannot recommend the mass Of stuff that
has been pouring in upon us from the
North for many years past. We think
many young ladies, and men too, have
been injured morally and mentally by the
excessive reading Of the works Of some
novslists we could mention. Yet there
are many novels that are interesting, and
sometimes instructive, without being any
ny injurious. And since people will
cad them, we feel glad that their taste
is fast finding room to feast on Southern
effort We shall psruse the novel in
question. and speak Of it as We think it
deserves.
