EXTENSIVE MoSoPoLY.-COlt, the inventor
of patent firearms, is one of the fortunate in
dividuals occasionally met with. He has al
ready received from the Government at Wash
ington, for furnishing revolvers. four hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, and the present
Administration has contracted for, or ordered
from him three thousand additional, at eigh-
teen dollars each. This monopoly is one of
has not been equalled since the expiration of
the Woodwork planning machine patent
Strenuous efforts have been made by several
parties, at different times, to break down Colts
influence with the departments, but they have
all signally failed.

SUPPORT YOUR HONE PAPER.-An exchange
talks thus sensibly upon the duty of support
ing home papers: s'Recollect if a home week
ly paper is to be supported, home influence
must do it. Every dollar sent to eastern pa
pers is at the expense of the local papers. A
county acquires prominence through its paper
more than in any other way, and to every one
who has county interest at stake, his home pa
per is a necessity. Never will such man
take a paper printed away from home until he
is able to take second paper. His first pa
per will be his home sheet, and he will so iden-
tify his own interests with that of his county
paper as to consider his subscription as much
a matter of yearly duty as payment Of his
taxes.

SAFELY DELIvERED.-The Philadelphia Dali

Congress has labored, and at last the mouse
comes forth, San indigest deformed lump If
Mr.. Buchanan be not gratifed with the glory
oil his administration, it will be strange. 1t
is certain no one will envy him his hard earn
ed fame. Two illustrious events already mark
his history with brilliancy which is unequal
leu. The one military: that is the shooting
OF several women and children by his efficient
marine corps; the other civil the passage of
'ne notorious English bill. These crown him
with iaurels, the gresnest the world has ever
seen. Let the King live foreverr''

MONEY A DRUG.-The Phila. Ledger, of Mon
day, remarks: ssMoney is now so great drug
in the market, that, sooner than permit it to
lie unproductive, capitalists turning it in
TO railroad bonds and other good stock securi-
ties. AS for investing in good business paper,
the thing cannot be done-there is hardly
half as much made as the banks would be glad
to discount; indeed, we are credibly inform
ed, that the banks of both this city and New
York are seeking good bills at five per cent.
and IN some instances as low as four. While
this stagnation of business continues, and the
amount of unemployed capital increases, good
stocks are likely TO improve, and some, that
are not as good as we would wish, are rising
with them.''

EMANCIPATION IN RUssIA.-The ernancipa-
tion excitement is still kept up in Russia.
This ssdespotic" country is setting an example
which should not be lost on the world. The
st. Petersburgh Gazette publishes an imperial
decree signed by the Emperor Alexander, es
tablishing in the districts of Kew, Podotia
and Volhynia, preparatory committee for
carrying out the emancipation of the serfs in
those provinces. One of the members of the
local nobility is appointed President. Each
committee is to consist of two members of
each district, selected from the landed proprie
tors who have serfs, and of two experienced
landed proprietors designated by the head of
the local administration. The sautocrat''
seems to have more respect for the 'smud sills''
of society than some of our statesmen.

CLEARFIELD, PA, MAY 5, 1858.

CoSGREss.-On Friday, April so, Mr.. Eng
lish's proposition in relation to Kansas, was
passed. In the Senate the vote stood, Yeas
81, Nays %. In the House, Yeas III, Nays
103. In the evening the Lecomptonites fired
salutes in front both of the Capitol and the
White House in honor of their victory and to
please the boys, who alone are jubilant. The
thoughtful portion of the Administration party
regard this as Bunker Hill victory. They
have surrendered almost every point for which
they contended at the outset, without having
the grace to do so in frank and manly man
ner. The Republicans are buoyant and cSul-
tant. in spite of their seeming defeat. They
regard the overthrow of the Lecompton De-
mocracy as already decreed, and desire no
better weapon for future political conflicts
than the record of the English swindle.

ACRAzY MoNARCH.-The London correspon-
det of the New York Tribune says :-ssThe
King of Prussia has become stark mad. He
occasionally believes that he is private SOL
dier, who has just received his commission as
ensign, but has since lost the parchment, and
therefore he anxiously seeks in all the hidden
corners of the palace and hooks ofthe garden.
He dislikes to be watched by his aid -decamp,
whom he believes to be his commanding Off
Ger. Though his mental alteration is hope
less, the question of the Regency remains un-
settled, as the Queen prevents any step in
this direction. and the Ministers do their best
to delay it still more, well aware that the first
measure of the Regent would be to turn them
out Of office. The question becomes still
more complicated by the fact that the English
Court wish for the abdication of the Prince of
Russia, and that the Queens young son in law,
Prince Frederic, may try his hand at govern
ing the country

of thirty millions of dollars, and to fund the
twenty millions of treasury notes recently is

draft on the treasury for the Lecompton ini-

The Sufferers in New Orleans.

The New Orleans BuHetin, noticing the
philanthropic efforts of the Young Mems
Christian Association of that city, says.
The Young Mems Christian Association
has divided the city, we learn, into twenty
two districts, ard appointed a committee
for each, with physicians and upothecaries,
and has established, at number of points,
iniirmaries to which the sick, when neces-
sary, are sent.
In this divine work, woman, as usual, is
the chief agent. Woman whenever there
is pain to be relieved, the brokeu-hearted
to be raised up; where gaunt poverty and
raging fever hold terrible carnival; where
dclirium and the deathrattlo drive men from
the abode of misery, there is found woman.
1t must not be supposed that these wo-
men, young and middle-agcl, many of them
delicate and educated, the ornaments to So
ciety, only go where and when they arc
called upon for assistance. Notwithstand-
ing the heat of the weather, with the slight
protection of their Donnets and parasois.
