ENGLISH misunderstanding to some of the Brit
sh journals the condition of large portion of the En-
gsh aborers is truly deplorable They can with great
difficulty earn the means of subsistence while their
cial comforts few and far between. Various efforts
have been made to produce change but thus far with
little success The Northern Times published at Lv-
epoo takes up the subject in detail and in the course
of sympathetic article, says:
" We boast of our adherence of negro slavery we
romance we moraze, and actually weep over the tales
of African suffering, but we cannot afford a passing
thought for the millions of white slaves who constitute
the masses of our laborng population. What these
in reality but animated machines? employed OIL
others to supersede them. AS their employment has
been the result of necessity and not of choice the great
object of the employer has been to tax the physical en-
durance of the employed to its utmost limits and reduce
the rate of remuneration to the lowest minimum. I'm
fortunately the fierce competition of trade and the
usually overcrowd edsate of the LABOR market combine to
render this state of things apparently inevitable.
This is indeed, lamentabe picture; but the case
is similar, weiear, to very considerable extent in other
portions of the world and in this country There
few among the laborng classes, however economical
and Industrious who than living for
themselves and families Their lot is one of excessive
toll Those who skilled in particular art
craft, of course do better But the mere abOrer
even in his best condition, has hard task before him
There is moreover too little sympathy felt for this par
tcuar class. Their wants. their enjoyments, their
creations rarely considered. They regarded
mere hewers of wood and drawers of water, and are
treated accordingly. How rarely indeed do we hear of
any movement intended to alleviate the social condition
extend the social cnjoyments of the merely working
classes Even philanthropy seems to look upon them
with indifference or contempt But this should not be-
There is for all things and due consideration
should be felt for ever member of the human family"

REDUCTION OF TELEGRAPH RATEs.-The Magnetic
Telegraph Company, with six wires in constant opera
ton and greatly increased facilities for business is ena-
bed to reduce the charges from Baltimore to the follow
ing rates: TO Philadelphia, twenty-five cents for ten
words, and two cents for each additional word to New
York, fifty cents for ten words, and four cents for each
additional word to Washington twenty cents for ten
responding reduction between intermediate points The
great dispatch and accuracy with which this line trans
acts all business is the cause of its increased
and the reduction on the part of the company will be
gratifying to the immense number of citizens doing
business over the line. The Magnetic Telegraph Com
pany is the oldest telegraph company in the United
States and the first to adopt the great discovery of
Prof Morse and the line is enabled by its connec-
toas to transact business with all points in the United
States and Canada. 1t is the only line which extends
rom Baltimore to the Southern cities

A NICE PuFF-A correspondent Of the Utica Oh

to that paper the following complimentary notice of the
inhabitants:
A more miserable, ignorant, wretched population
never bebeld and yet it is much the same throughout
the whole eastern coast of Nova Scotia. Let any man
visit the villages which dot this coast and then say if
ever he has such ahject misery-such squalid
wretchedness and such deporable Ignorance In some
of these places where you would think the foot of civil
lied man had never been planted they actually burroW

poultry, have just described. Their rags, msnamed
garments being in tattcrs from their limbs and one is
bone out in the idea that they totally undress
from the utter mpossbity of getting their legs through
the right holes again They fasten on the SOIL and there
remain Their food is the coarsest and commonest sort

more filthy bipeds the name of human beings );

the fire is made in the centre part of the enclosure the
smoke escaping from the various apertures in the hut

AMERICANS IN ITALY.-The New York Herald has
the following paragraph touching the growing habits of
Americans travelling to Italy
OF late years many Americans have made it point
to spend the winter in Italy. They usually commenced
their travels in England then 60 to Paris then to Ger
many and Switzerland and the Alps at this season
of the year. Apart from the seductive nature of italian
sights art, curiostes the glores Of the Roman Carn
val and the gorgeous pomp of the church ceremonias
sanitary nCuce many of counymen to make
long stay in Italy. They do not generally tarry at
Turin or Genoa, but proceed to Naples, Venice Rome
and Florence which the most interesting places Of
these Florence is the most popular is the heathiest
pleasantest and cheapest. There probably at this
moment more Americans at Florence than in any other
Italian city. People who intend to make any stay there
usually take private lodgings, the hotels have been
poor as all italian ones proverbially Recently,
however, there has been erected and splendid hotel
the banks of the Arno excellent location
the Promenade 1t has been fitted up in the finest pos
sble way and is in every respect first rate hotel 1t
is we'll kept, by German, who speaks English and all
the continental languages. The hotel is mpor-
tant addition to the lions of Florence, and with splendid
cqe outshining anything in Paris the mirrors alone
cost forty thousand rancs will add much to the enjoy
ment of visitors. Travellers who have suffered from mis-
cradle taverns in Italy, will thank for calling their at
tention to the new hotel.

Yesterday evening. says the Wheeling lc-
telligencer Of Thursday, the seven persons
convicted of various fences Of the Circuit
Court, departed for Richmond, in charge Of
Deputy Sheriff Irwin and competent guard
Oscar Myers goes for fifteen years for muir
der; Geo. Cole and Robert Hutchinson % for
couoterfeitiug; James Mccormick and John
Mccain for burglary; Wm Sainn for high
way robbery, and Nathaniel Petit for pass
ing couuterfcis money. Only three OF the
above are natives of this part of the country.
The four are strangers whose places OF nativl-
ty are not known. Wea are informed by those
who take the pains to examine, that W heel
ing sends more people to the penitentary at
Richmond, than airy other city or any one
county 10 the State. We do not doubt this,
for an examination of the records of the
court show a number OF convictions for penn
Tertiary offences absolutely SURPRISING
Doubtless there are many other cities IN the
State, which could do more at filling the ren-
iientiary if our promptness in arrestlDg and
copvic,ing criminals were initiated.

The Secretary Of War gave him 4 most cor

St Louis Republican says:
The Indians diI not as was expected stand
fight at Chelle. The appearance of the
troops, however, so sad ienIy among them,
DISCONTINUED them. The command entered
the canon about its centre by climbing down
q narrow entrance, which with much dal-
ger and difficulty admitted OF the passage OF
one horse and man at a time. Oue misstep
would have precipltated man and beast down
some i've hundred feet over rocks and crag.
The canon is represented az a curiosity Of
nature It's walls III places are fifteen hun
dred feet high. Arrows shot from the top AZ
the troops beicw lost their direction by the
resistance OF air, ard came dow n horizontally.
Stones thrown down were broken before they
reached the bottom from tue same cause. 1t

Peaches and corn were fOuEd in 1t IN gGeat
quantities. The peaches are SAID by the Of
ticcrs to be very fine. Several prisoners were
taken in the canon, aud one or two Indians
killed. Had The tribe 10 any numbers stood
h.4s bore, they could have annoyed the
troops much without doubt. 1t w"ss haz-
ardous march, aud the success is matter Of
wonder Gs well as OF c0ngratulat!ou. The

that ten determined men, we'll armed, could
