Secretary Cobb-The Presidents Mes
sage-The Reports Of Heads of De-
partments.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-It was recently
extensively reported that Secretary Cobb
had accepted the appointment of minister
to France, and now it is rumored that he
is going to England in similar capacity,
but there is the highest authority for say
ing that there is no truth whatever in these
statements, and further, that since the for
nation of the Cabinet, it is not known
that any member thereof has had the re-
motest idea of Withdrawing from it for any
purpose.
The Presidents Message is 10 type, and
will be ready for the press tomorrow
Advance copies will, according to the
present design, be sent only to Richmond,
Va, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New

The report of the Postmaster General
is printed, and those of the other heads of
the departments are in the hands of the
compositor.
Copies Of the Message, with these ac-
companying documents, be distributed to

Col. Samuel w. Black Shot.

We learn, by private letter from Ne
braska, that Col. Samnel W. Black, one
of the Supreme Judges of that Territory,
was dangerously wounded with a gun in
the hands of q friend, few days since.
1t appears that, accompanied by another
gentleman, he was out hunting on the
prairie, and passing into clump of bush
es, with view Of driving some prairie
hens from their cover, his comrade, who
did not observe his presence, discharged
his gun twice in succession, the FIST load
"a heavy charge of buckshot-taking
effect in the back, and the second in the
arm, inficting two severe, though, we
are happy to state not dangerous
wounds.
At last accounts the Colonel was rapid
ly recovering, and his speedy return to
convalescence was confidently looked for
The gentleman's escape was most fortu
nate one. as both charges were very heavy
and but short distance separated the
parties when the gun was discharged
His numerous friends have, while deplor
ing the accident, will be rejoiced to learr
that it is not likely to be attended will

The WOOdSfeld Herald.

In our notices of mertorious publica-
tions we almost overlooked the Woodsfield
Herald. The position of this wonderful
paper with its 10000 readers, as a CLASH
cal literary paper, as a profound politi-
cal paper, and as an energetic newspaper,
is such that all hope or desire of ever
reaching it has been abandoned by it's CO.
temporaries. 1t is especially commenda-
BILE to parents who wish their children to
speak with elegance. The present vol
ume expires after the issuing of four more
numbers, and the succeeding one promi-
ses to be equally as brilliant as the pres
ent. The immense amount of talent and
labor expended upon this paper may be
estimated by the fact, that in less than
one year it has exhausted the ability of
three editors, and has commenced on a
fourth. 1t is but an easy process to cal
culate from this how long it will require
to use up all the Republican brains in the
county.
The coming volume will be handsomely
illustrated with patent medicine cuts.

case to day petitioned for writ of habe-
as corpus to bring the prisoners before the
court to show why they should uot be de-
tanned longer in custody. The Court
granted the writ, which is made returnable
on Saturday at 10 O'Clock. This will

to be that the prisoners will be held and
the case taken to another district.

POking Fun at Vermont.

The whole country is now in broad
grin of merrlment over some political pro-
ceeaings in the State of Vermont which
have recently trauspired. The Legisla-
ture being composed Of Jealous Repubi-
cans, anxious to keep u2 the slavery ag-
itation, which is their whole political
capital, passed law to prevent slavehol-
ding around the ice and snow of the
Green Mountains, and making it a Peni-
Tertiary olfense to bring slave into the
State! The world was generally under
the impression that slavery was already
forbidden in Vermont--forbidden by the
laws of climate, of soil, as well as statute
law-forbidden by the sentiments of the
people, who have been crazy in their op-
position to it for half century. and have
considered it about as likely that a man
would take slaves to Vermont as that he
would deliberately walk into the den of
a roaring and devouring lion. The pas
sage of this statute, which presupposes
there is imminent danger Of slavery get
ting foothold in Vermont, is the source
of inexhaustible fun to the wags. One of
our contemporaries declares that this act
of buncombe is on par with an enact
ment which should forbid men boring
three-inch holes with one-inch augur-
The likelihood of the one event is quite
as probable as the other.
The Republican demagogues in Yer
mont. by the last agitation have moi
made any capital, but they have made
themselves ridiculous to the whole coun-
try. Men see the hollow-h -heartedness and
emptiness of the clap-trap about the dan
ser of slavery extension, > when it is Pre-.
tended that Vermont needs an enact.
ment which shocks the common sense OF
every man, and which is manifestly got
ten up for the sake of political capital
1t is a shame that the good people O
Vermont should be scandalized by such {
performance, but the lesson will be worth
its cost, if at their next election they dis
card such legislative asses and trickster.

Bad News for the Republicans.

The New York Times, a Republican
paper, has the following editorial:
A MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE Our
Kansas correspondent informs US that the
Free State Party in that Territory has
suddenly disappeared. A Convention
recently held te take steps for admission
as Free State, and to arrange for future
political movements, was very thinly at
tended and finally adjourned without do
ing anything at all. This result is due
partly to the conviction that the contest
is over and that Kansas can never be any
thing but Free State, and partly to the
desire of the people of Kaasas to attend
somewhat to their own affairs. They are
all very actively engaged in cultivatipg
their farms, building houses aud barns,
and making themselves generally cemfor-
table. We trust they will be abundant
ly successful. ..
The following is an extract from the
letter above alluded to:

The Legislature of Kansas was requir-
ed to fix a permanent seat of government,
before any Congressional appropriation
for the erection of public building could
be available. The seat of government
was fixed in 1855 at Lecompton, and the
money expended for that purpose. In
April last the Legislature passed law
ever the Governors veto, changing the
seat to Minnesota.
At the request of Gov. Denver, a de-
cision has recently been given by Attorn-
ey General Black, namely: that the law is
void, and that the seat must be at Lecomp.
ton, at least during the existence of the
Territorial Government, for the reasons
above stated The money having been
thus conditionally Appropriated. the change
would be violative of the act of Congress-
and fraud on the United States.

Republican Consistency.

During the last session of Congress
Minnesota, as q free State, was admitted
into the Union upon the recommendation
of President Buchanan. On looking over
the vote on the admission. it will be seen
that nearly every Democrat, alike from
the South and North, was in his seat,
and voted AYE" while a majority of the
negro shriekers voted "so." The Sen
ate which is largely Democratic, passed
a bill to admit Oregon, another free
State, in opposition to the votes and ex-
ertions of many opposition Senator's

A Grain Spectators Experience.

Generally speaking, wheat is very
good grain. 1t shows we'll in the field
and in statistical reports; it looks well
in stacks aud in the granaries; and when
we'll ground, mothodcally kneeded, judic-
iously baked and properly Drowned and
buttered into toast, there is no man who
will speak more respectfully, not to say
enthusiastically, of the vegetable, than /
will. For am, in the main, man too
well bred to do otherwise. But as an ar

These remarks may seem severe, but they
drop naturally from me as the kernels
would from head of wheat that has been
we'll threshed.
Everybody knows am the son of poor
but respectable parents" started in
life with this talismanic maxim for money
making: buy when every one is selling,
sell when every one is buying. Well,
some few weeks since, wheat, which had
been very buoyant suddenly fell. Every
one was selling; had little money. and
confiding in my golden rule, pitched in
and bought at 'eighty-fve.' Very soon
the staple commodity dropped to sixty
eight. Now, thought l, is the time to
get "margin;' so mortgaging the first
lot, l bought more. And Ill venture nay

her bread to rise, as l did my wheat
But still it dropped? The fault they said
was in the Est, (excuse the pun, If the
pun is obviods) until, as it still kept drop
ping, 1 thought it my duty to go into
Chicago and put stop to it. The first
greeting that met me as 1 stepped into
the fremont was telegram on the bal
liton board-"wHEAT is FLAT" Wheat
probably was fiat enough, but the an
nouncement struck me as being rather u
sharp truth. At half past eleven 1 went
down on change 1t is perhaps needless
to say that l found things materially
changed since l had bought. Buyers,
were offering fifty-fve; everybody appear
ed to be buying; therefore, following up
my aphorism, sold. The result may be
summed up thus:
Two months since had money and no
wheat Subsequently l had wheat and
no money. Now, by the mass, l have
neither! The second lot was a poor lot,
as poor, in fact, as the second edition ol
Pharaoh's kline, since it swallowed the
first. But l bought to make margin
and I made it.
l think most operators will concur
with me in the following conclusion:
That to buy at eighty five and sell a
'seventy-fve,' will not pay, unless man
does a very large business The wheat
when it begins to fall is long time ir
reaching the bottom. That when it once
begins to heat, it very soon becomes toe
hot to hold. That, after all, the sures
way to make money in wheat, is to plan
it in good soil. And lastly, that MAJ
going into the wheat market with even
very small capital, if he is Industrious ant
perseveres, may very soon succeed in ow
ing more than it is probable he will eve
be worth.
