are various; causing heaviness, languid, diff.

Sensible,

1t is very seldom we find anything
to commend in the New York Tribune.
1t affords us pleasure therefore to find
such sound views as the following in a
late article:
We are housing and Intriguing for
Cuba, when we have a great deal more
territory now than we can make good
use for the next three centuries. We
arc snuffing at and bowling over Mexico,
to determine what we could make by
protecting her, when we ottolsra-
bly, protecting life and property in our
own seaboard cities. We are playing
the dictator in Central America, and
bully toward Paraguay, When all eur
interests and traditions should impel
as to cultiuate the friendship IF our
Southern neighbors, rather Man pro.
voke their Jealousy and enmity.
Why are we thus embroilipg ourselves
with our sister Republics of the New
World? They are and should be our
.copyists and admirers; why do we
drive them to hate and fear us {? Sim
ply because, We, too, have influential
classes seeking "out-d door relief" the
relief administered in Army and Navy
jobs, contracts and commissions. Take
away the hope and the fruition Of pro-
fits from these contriyaBces for living
sumptuously at the public expense, and
we could live at peace and amity with

A Family Peculiarity.

The disposition to make the people
'groan' seems to be popularity of the
Wise family. Our Governor promis-
ed to make the citizens of Virginia
groan under the burden of taxation,
and he has faithfully fulfilled the pledge.
He hasmade them 'groan, groan, groah
three groans altogether. The son,
Mr.. 0. Jennings Wise, partakes of his
fathers disposition, and without re-
sorting to coercion induces the people
to 'groan, groan, groaA' three times
altogether AT 1.-THE recent Democrat
ic meeting in Richmond, Mr.. O. Jen-
nings Wise proposed three groanssfor
John Letcher, and forthwith all the
people groaned. This remarkable fac
ulty, bequeathed from sire to son, is a
mong the wonderful things of the age.
Lugubrious notes issue from the throats
of the people at the world of command
with as much alacrity as the enchant-
ed ball obeys the behests of Wyman' s
magic wand. -Staunton Spectator.

The GouIdy TRAGEDY.

Our readers will remember the at
tempt made on the night of the 18th Of
last October, by young man named
Francis A. Gouldy to take the lives of
his fathers family, at their residence
in West Thirtieth street and his sub
sequent suicide. Mrs. Gouldy the
step'mother of the young monster, has
so far recovered from her wounds as to
be considered out of danger.
Mr.. Gouldy is still in fair way for
recovery. One Of the wounds upon
his head is entirely healed, but the 9TH
ers are still very sore. The brain pro-
trudes to the size of walnut, but the
attending physicians confidently assert
that he will finally be restored to
health. His side has not yet recover
ed from the paralytic shock consequent
upon the affection of the brain. The
galvanic battery is to DO applied as
soon as the strength of the patient
will admit of it. Mr.. Gouldy has not
yet been informed of the suicide of his
son. f ats
Young Nathaniel is eonvalescent, be-
ing able to sit up in bed and converse.
Charles is also better, but makes very
slow progress. The servant girl Muir
ply is still in the New York Hospital,
where every attention is paid to her.
The doctors believe she will recover
Great numbers visit the house on Thir.

THE HoME JOURNAL FOR lS59.--We have
always regarded the Home Journal, edited
by Messrs. Morris & Willis, as on, Of the
besi literary weekly newspapers published
in this or any other country. The char ac,er
OF the matter, both orisiual aud selec,ed, ,
which fills tie columns, is of high order.
The poetry Of George p. Morris, the sweet
song writer of America, and the charming
letters and penciing BY N, p. Willis, are
themselves worth more than the subscrip-
ton. The father Of a family can do nothing
better to amuse, entertain aud instruct him
self and family, especially the female pol-
ton of il, than by subscribing for this pa.
per. With 1859 new series will com.
mence, with which also will begin series
Of beautiful original works of fact and fancy
written expressly for the Home Journal, by
The best authors of America. Among other
good things will be, tale of sterling merit,
by alady, called sTwo Ways to Wedlock ?
tale of the South, called Tho Avenger,'
byan eminent Southern author; and a ialo
called THE Young Wife's Diary By a
daughter OF the West, with other tales Of
striking nerit,i together with a number of
original comic stories. From ibis il will be
seen that the Home Journal offers as much,
and better reading matter than any other Of
the many family weekly newspapers. We
heartily recommend it to all who wish to
read weekly newspaper Of fined, moral,
,entertainug and instructive Character, AS
no more copies Of the new series will be
printed than are ordeIe d, those who desire
to begin with The commencement of the VOL
ume will be able to do SO by forwarding their

Temperance In Russia /.

The Russian government has here
tofore drawn large revenue from the
traffic in Intoxicating liquors, and has
constantly opposed all efforts to stay
the ravages of incompetence. This is,
however, to, continue but little longer.
A correspondent of the New York
Times writes:
The Emperor has at length formally
determined not to authorize the pro.
longation of the farming out system,
after the expiration of the present term
in 1868. In a previous letter | de.
scribed in detail! the manner in which
the sale Of liquor is farwed out to in
dividuals throughout the Empire, the
eagerntss with which the contracts were
sought at the late auction, the immense
sums realized by the Government from
the sale, and the terrible scourgo the
whole systcm is to tho country. The
Emperor has decided that the millions
the treasury derives from this mono.
poly do not compensate for the demora-
lization produced by it upon the people
and that it is his duty to abolish the
evil. The journals abound with articles
upon the subject, and public notice is
again strongly attracted to it. Inview
Of the Emperor's resolutions it will DO
the task of the Department of the
Treasury to elaborate in the course Of
the next four years q new system of
taxes upon alcoholic beverages and en-.
deayor to bring about change compa,
tible with the development of cduca.

The Irish Catholics on old Buck.

The Freeman'sJouraal of Now York
city, an organ Of the. Irish Catholics,
andsone of the warmest advocates Of
Mr.. Buehanan's election to the Presi-
dency, says insits Issue of last week:
"The rebuke' of tho late electionis
severe but salutary. We are pleased
that it has been measured out with a
moderate hand. Our only desire has
been that the true principles of the
Democratic party should be yindicated
and relieved from the Contamination of
the spurious and anti-republican yaga,
ries of the present executive. We
have for some time ceased to regard
James Buchanan as a Democrat. He
is afederalist to his hearts core
He has betrayed his highest trust, or
proved unequal to it, and has warred
with an insane bitterness against the
party that elevated him to office. Not
only has he endeavored torob the par
~ ofits, dearest principles, but he has
violated the fundamental theories of
the Government in striking madly at
the Representatives of the people; and
with his brides in Kansas proffcred to
the constituency, and his rewards of Of
flee bestowed upon recreant favorites,
he has made an epoch which will not
soon be forgotten, and ought not ever
to be. " ~ ,''hi8 iAE7't@ sgE a3.ai .

The Administration i'm the House.

The Administrator is not likely to
be supported with the zeal or fidelity
which itroceiyed last winter on its own
side Of the house. There are various
tokens of disaffection aid no conceal.
ment of complaint in various quarters.
Most of the few Northern Democrats
who were fortunate to escape tho 70.
cent popular royulsion arc not hatter-
ing in their expressions of the Presi.
dents Lccompton policy, and some of
them openly condemn it as suicidal and
gratuitous, like the repeal of the Mis-.
souri, Compromise. Mr.. John Cocb.
rane Of New York, isnow on the ground
and is not reserved in his estimate Of
tho whole concern, nor does he scru-
pie to say, it may seek aid where n
sense of gratitude will Justify the re.
cognition. aa .issga6
1t appears the administration made
no effort to assist his reelection, but
expended most Of its influence upon
the return of the redoubtable Dan
Sckles. And as the so.caled Demo-
cratic papers have habitually misrep.
resented andasssiled the alleged abuse

1t will DO seen. from our telegraphic
column, that John Letcher has received
the nomination for Governor, and that
as usual, Wise, Gordon, and all other
bitter opponents, have "caved in" to
his support. This has not in the least
surprised Us. Indeed, it is precisely
what we expected of tho leaders-bus
we still believe, what the Enqatarer af-
firmod the other day, that a majority
OF the Democratic voters in the Com
monwealth will "groan" at his nomna-
ton, and refuse to ratify it. Looking
from a merely party stand. point, we
are rejoiced that Letcher has been
nominated. Heis not, and never has
been, the choice of the people. lie has
been forced upon them as the nominee,
through congressional caucussing and
tho examining of the leaders, and we
arc sincere in our conviction, that

Protective Doctrines at the South,

-. ho'ceti'O buolilnCS dL llt DUutu,
The Louisville Journal does not be.
lieye the current report that the South
ern wing of the Democracy will take
ground against the protective policy.
We quote - JOE sU9 - l.v '.asgi
"The day has passed to argue in ia
vor of free trade, while other nations
which are theoretically its advocates,
are practically the most careful to
throw around their manufacturers all
the fostering guards Of legislation
Mr.. Stephens, of Georgia, said last
winter, that the protective policy in
cidentally as revenue measure, must
come, and Kenneth Raynor, of North
Carolina has written letter to po-
htical committee at Wilmington, Del
aware, in which he takes strong ground
against the Kansas policy of tie Ad.

ton to American industry, which he
regards as q national and not as q

The fact is that agriculture forms a
merely transition state. People who
only supply raw material must live in
a raw state. They may have chickens,
and hogs, and hominy, bomospun and
houses but for everything which is
the result of scientifically trained ge-
MUS, they must 60 to those regions
where mind is stimulated into its high
Iy inventive stages, where labor crap-
Piles with the most delicate and difficult
tasks, where science in one word is con-,
tinually striking out new ideas, new
wants and new means of gratifying
them. AS regards political power and
social superiority, it is barely possible
that the agricultural community, hap
Ply in the prestige Of a few old tradi.
tons, which are yet respected every
where may for short time hold its
head up. Sooner or later the tradi-
tions will fade-they are fading very
rapidly now, and the timeis at hand
when genius, the genius Of industry
will impose the only laws and stand
ards of responsibility which the world
will recognize. The South is begin
ming to feel this. Complaints that
they are rocked in Yankee cradles,
taught from Yankee bibles and school
books, doctored with, Northern medi-
cine, and buried in Yankee cetins, arc
beginning to be heard, and wishes to
be expressed that they could do more
themselves. But how is this to be
done? BY establishing manufactures
for themselves. t8 81 3
