PROSPECTUS
OF THE
WEEKLY DAY BOOK, for 1858.

The New York Day Book, (daily and weekly
is an independent Democratic journal, devoted to
the support of Democratic ideas and the defense
of Democratic institutions. 1t holds that all those
who are naturally equal, are entitled to the same
rights and responsible for the same duties, and it
will. therefore, advocate the perfect legal and po
ltcal equality of all citizens, without regard to
birth, religion OF any of those Fictitious and acct
dental things which, in other countries, and some
times in our own are permitted to interfere with
mems natural rights. 1t holds, moreover, that
that government is best which governs the feast
that National Banks, Protective Tariffs, Internal
improvements, and all forms and degrees OF spe-
cial legislation are anti Republican, corrupting and
dangerous to the spirit of Democracy and the per-
manency of free institutions. 1t holds, further
MORE that American society, as now constituted,
is right in theory in fact-at the South at the
North-in its domestic regulations as in its poti-
cal institutions and will therefore defend the eX-
listing conditiOn-the subOrdination of negroes as
we'll as tie equality of white citizens. These
principles and this position it viii continue
to advocate in the future as in the past and though
the publication department has changed hands, its
editors and contributors remain the same ever.
The success the Day Book has achieved by
boldly and fearlessly utterng the whole truth upon
the slavery" question has been unparalleled in
the history of newspaper literaturc-not less than
thirty thousand subscribers having been received in
a single year. We confidently expect even great
er success in the future and while we shall give
due attention to politics we also present our read
ers with an interesting family and business journal,
filed with complete digest of news, foreign and
domestic, commercial and monetary articles, full
and accurate reports of the cattle, grain, cotton,
produce and other markets, accompanied with the
newest and latest Observation-Disclosures prepared
specially for our columns Indeed, We give the
reader greater variety of information than is to
be obtained in any other weekly journal published
in New York. Our reports of markets alone are
worth double the subscription price.

The FLooD ON THE LOWER MrssIss1P-
PI.-Despatches from New Orleans of the
18th state that the Mississippi continues
very high, that the levee is in danger, the
plantations opposite are over-fowed, and
crevasses are reported above the city.
We learn by the Louisville Journal of
Saturday that the amount of damage done
and suffering entailed by the overflow be-
low Memphis is immense. The Arkansas
side appears to have suffered most. At
Napoleon and Prentiss the buildings were
flooded, the levees washed away, and the
whole country inundated. The whole force
of the country below, black and white was
at work to strengthen and repair levees.

A PaErrY INcIDENr.-A young Illinois
girl purchased a small Testament for four
dozen OF eggs, at three cents per Dozen
When her brother was about TO start to
Mexico, as a volunteer in the war she put
it into his vest pocket. There it remained
in the same pocket and wrapped in the
same paper, until the battle Of Bunea Wis
ia, when the wearer received q wound
through the Testament, the book breaking
the force OF the bullet, which lodged in his
breast and sent him to the hospital. There
he read the book, embraced religion, and
eventually became missionary preacher.
Thus wonderfully did the shilling Tes-
lament save life and soul.

Passion Week.

The week preceding Easter is denomin-
ated passion Week, so called because in
this week, Christ suffered and died; the
word "Passion" in this connection signify
ing suffering
passion Week commenced
yesterday-is observed by very many Chris
tian denominations, and we give the events
in their chronological order, which are com
memorated by its observance.
On Sunday of the Paschal Week Our
Saviour made His triumphant entry into
Jerusalen-wept over the city-uttered the
prophecy of its destruction, and going into
the Temple, cast out the buyers and sell
lers: f..5 .
On Monday, He pronounced the prophet
ic curse upon the barren fig tree, and ut
tered those strong denunciations of woe up
on the Pharisees which excited their enmi-
ty and made them resolve to destroy Him.
On Tuesday, He again went to the Tenn
pie, received the deputation from the SAN
hedrim, who questioned Him as to His au-
thority; uttered the parable of the Two
Sons, the parable of the Wicked Husband
man, the parable of the Wise and Foolish
Virgins, the parable of the Talents; repli-
ed to the Herodians and the Sadducees !;
gave description of the general judgment
and foretold the exact time of His own be-
trayal and crucifxion.
On Wednesday, He passed most of the
day on the Mount of Olives and in the Gar
den of Gethsemene, offered up those inter-
cessory prayers recorded by St. john
That evening at supper with the twelve,
He washed the disciples feet, and foretold
the denial of Peter and the betrayal of
Judas.
Thursday was spent in preparing for the
Passover. After sunset the Passover was
eaten, and Judas was pointed out as the
traitor. Then the Sacrament of the Lords
Supper was instituted, and after singing the
parting hymns they retired to the Mount
of Olives, and on their way Christ again
predicts the denial of Peter, and that all
would forsake Him. Then followed the
agony of the garden. Then Judas comes
with a band Of soldiers, and Jusus is bound
and led to the house of Annas.
On Friday, after II o'clock at night un-
til 9 o'clock of the morning, occur the va
rious. events connected with his trial. At
9 O'Clock, the very time when the morning
sacrifice acas offered IN the Temple, Jesus
aCas nailed to the cross. Then occurs the
supernatural darkness until the 9th hour,
and at the 9th hour-or o'clock in the
afternoon-when the evening sacrifice was
offered in the Temple, Jesus expires. Then
Joseph and Aramathea procure the body
and places it in his own tomb.
On Saturday the sepulchre is secured by
a guard of soldiers, and the women procure
the spices to embalm the body.
Such are the events of the week until
Easter morn.

re- The South is Paradise fol young
unmarried sehoelmaams. We are almost
afraid to append the following experience,
related by Prentice, Of the Louisville Jour
nal, for fear the effect might be to drain
this part of the country of the very asefnl
and ornamental article referred to above.
Prentice says:
Some may think it strange (it isn't
though) that ever since the time when we
remarked in our paper that nihe-tenths Of
all the husbands of young women sent by
us to the south rs teachers have got mar
ried there, We have been literally over
whelmed with applications from New
England, New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio.
We do not think that, in Justice to such
of cur Southern friends as are in want of
teachers we can send any girl that will not
pledge herself to Us 10 continue at least
six months in the business. We know that
the conditions seem hard, but really We
shall have TO be inexorabie.
About three years ago the trustees of
fine female academy in one of the South
ern States wrote to us to send them
teacher. We sent them a very beautiful
and accomplished young lady, and they
promptly wrote us a letter of warm thanks
for the selection. In about. three. months
they wrote US again, telling us that their
teacher had got married, and requesting US
to send them another. We did send them
another quite as beautiful and accomplished
as the first, and they were, as they might
be, very much delighted with her, In just
about three months, however, they applied
to us third time, begging US to send them
still another, the second having got mar
ried like the first. In their last applica-
ton, however, they insisted that the lady
next sent to them should be plain looking,
and not less than thirty-fve years DID,
The conditions were difficult, and we did
not succeed in complying with them. We
prevailed upon our friends, the trustees, to
accept richly talented lady who was nei-
ther old nor ugly, she giving us her honor
that she would not marry in less than half
a year. We understand that she held out
like brave girl to the end of the specified
time, but not day afterwards.

@ We may see what man of down
right honesty of purpose and uncompro-
missing determination of character is able
to extort from his fiercest political oppo-
nents in the following extract from speech
of Senator Toombs, referring to Mr.. Wade
of Ohio:
"That is it, says my friend from Ohio,
who is always honest and outspoken, and
straitforward, and wish to God the rest Of
you would initiate him. He speaks out
like man. He says that is the difference,
and it is. He means what he says. He
and l can agree about everything on earth
until we get to our sable population, do
believe"
Where is the doughface that would not
gladly exchange his rotten reputation aud
ill-gotten favors for such a significant recog-
milton and such an honorable testimonial as
this An Y.Tribmne.

The Coop SAMARITAN.-Who does not
remember the affecting parable of the good
Samaritan, who bound up the wounds Of
.him that fell among thieves?" 1t is in
this light that the many patients of Mr..
Kennedy look upon him since the Medical
Discovery has been so successful in curing
Rheumatism, Tic Douloureux, Erysipelas,
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, and many other
diseases. The healing properties of this
medicine are such, that cures are effected of
diseases that the Proprietor never thought
of offering it for. There are very few
medicines that do all their Inventors say
they will but when an article does all
and more--we are led to put implicit faith
in it.

JOHN VAN BUREN-THE STRAY Dou-
GLAs.-John Van Buren recently said, in a
convival speech: .r"s
swell, gentlemen, there is one family
has got back safe in the democratic party
to stay for life. 1t is the Van Buren, fami-
lily; and if Senutor Douglas only knew the
long, dreary road he has to travel, the deep,

horses over, the dark stormy nights whore

A Coon JoKE.-The Legislature of Tex
as, lately adjourned, passed an act for call
ing southern convention, appropriating
ten thousand dollars out of any money in
the treasury, to defray expenses in the
event of a rejection of the Lecompton Con-
stitution by Congress. Thus it proposed
to take initiatory steps for disunion. The
joke of the whole thing lies in the fact that
there is not cent in the treasury. 1t is
entirely bankrupt. r

ONE OF WADE's HITs.-When old Mo-
ses enticed whole nation of slaves to run
away, no doubt he was denounced by Pha-
raoh and the chivalry of Egypt as furious
Abolitionist; but there were some dough-
faces then as now. They were some who
preferred slavery in Egypt to freedom in
canaan, and those he supposed would be
called National men n'--not Northern men
with Southern principles but 'lsraelites
with Egyptian principles

were married in New Baltimore, one day

Twin sisters married twin brothers, and the
parties were each "a years old, and the
wedding day was the anniversary Of the
