EVENING SCHooLs.-We have before alluded to
these schools, established and sustained for the
benefit of the working classes; for those who, al
though they have attained unto man and woman's
stature and age, are yet destitute ofthat knowledge
they should have gained while young. Many q
those who attend are those whose circumstances
in early Life prevented them from eninpino 4i- L.
ehts of the common schools, and who now, suffer
ing from the want of education, eagerly seize this
opportunity to store their minds with servicable
knowledge. Over one hundred scholars meet at
the Prospect street schooIhouse, while school
nearly as large has been established on the West
Side.
Beside the Board of Instructors, which consists
of part fthe Teachers in the day schools, weekly
lectures are delivered to the pupils upon scientific
subjects, with which they should be acquainted
On Thursday evening last, Mr.. Freese, Superin-
tendent Of Instruction, gave lecture upon the At
mosphere, explaining its composition, properties,
weight, uses and necessities. The lecture was
plain and PRACTICAL giving to the pupils much in
formation upon this important subject, and was
presented in such manner as to interest while it
instructed. Arrangements have been made by
which lectures upon science history, geology, ma
chinery, astronomy, geography and kindred sub
iects, will be given on each Thursday evening
These will be of great value to the pupils, giving
them information which will be of daily use to them
in the business of life and of which they must 9th
erwise remain in ignorance. We anticipate a
steadily increasing interest in these schools, both
on the part of the scholars, who will, through life
rejoice at these opportunities for instruction, and
of our citizens at large, who desire to see know.

Eestoys Orion and Amsrie1z
We have been noticing for some tins past, with
no little interest, the various communications in
your paper in regard to a suitable candidate for
Congress in the fifth district. We regret murh to
see that cur old sarhOrse, Col Guild, stands aside;
but such being the fact we now ssk ourselves, who
is the man for the emergency Without any iis-
paragement TO those gentlemen whose names have
been mentioned in connection with this position.
permit US to introduce for the consideration Of the
Democracy Of this district, the name Of Gen. Daniel
g. DOne'son. This old and tried veteran has done
much service in the Democratic cause. He was
Nominated for Congress in 1913, 10 lead forlorn
hope; he responded to the call and entered the
canvass as though he certain Of success dealing
heavy blows upon the opposition from every politi-
cal stump in the district. In this race he proved
himself man of noble bearing, great energy, and
worthy the confidence of his party. He was after>
wards chosen member Of the Legislature. in which
position he took high hand, and is now Speaker
Of the House of Representatives. In fact, Gen.
DOnelsOn is man Of large experience, not Only in
matters Of State but in the tented fields of Democracy
He has taken bold and decided stand in all the
great political struggles since the division Of parties
in this State. Democracy has never needed an ad
vOcate when DOnelson was present, but under all
circumstances, and at all tines he has ever stood
forth the bold and daring advocate of his political
faith, and if the Democracy of this district will
bring out DOnelsOn, they cannot fail of success.
What say the other counties of the district?

After full reflection, the Publishers Of this paper
have become converts to the Cash System. The NEST
powerful argument which has urged them to this
position is found In their account books wherein is
recorded debt due them Of over sixty thousand dol
lars accumulated suce the 18th of May, 1853, and
for subscriptions alone of more than forty thousand
dollars. Here is suspended debt for subscriptions
averaging near eight thousand dollars per year. 1t
will probably eventually net not much more than
habits aggregate amount. The loss isnOt however,
wholly ours. portion of it is made up by tax
on our punctual Subscribers: as unjust to them as
the loss Of the remaining portion is to u.s. The
remedy for this evil beth to ourselves and pune
tual subscribers, is in the cash system. Adopting
this system do from this day, we shall be able
to afford our weekly paper at a reduced rate. Our
plan is this On the 18th day of May next We shall
erase from our subscription lists every name not in
advance. From this date we shall enter no new
name on our books unless the money accompanies
the order. From this day We shall eRergeticslly
desvOr to collect the money due old accounts,
and make no new ones. Our weekly paper will be
two dollars per year. Those who have already paid
in advance beyond the 10th of May, 1859, will be
allowed the benefit of this reduction from that date
Ba We shall keep this notice standing in coIaH'
until the 10Th Of May and that day every
delinquent from lst WithOHt respect 10 persons.

vzvvn,,,w Of an American vessel.

Recent tslegrsphic dispatches have mentioned
that the brig Rufus sonle, an American vessel had
been seized on the coast of Africa, by British
oruaer, on suspicion of being concerned in the slave
trade TheNayy Department. it is said, is in receipt
of letters from Commander Totten, Of the United
States African squadron, Announcing on TIE anthOr-
ity Of seaman, not only the search and seizure Of
the vessel but her subsequent destruction by FIRE in
October last, by order of the officers of the British
steamer Viper
Il appears from the statement of a seaman Zone Of
the crew Of the Rufus SOule,) that she sailed from
Mantsnzas in July last, for the cast of Africa was
Overhauled, visited, and her matches opened by the
officers of the Viper, who ordered the crew Of the
vessel to go on board the steamer. After stripping
the vessel Of her sails and small Stores she set
on FIRE. The sssmen who makes the statement also
alleges that it was said by some of the Of the
Viper that the vessel was burned because they had
no men to send away in her, and that they had or
ders TO burn one out of every three vessels taken.
The seamen were landed on the beach at Kabeneis.
Commander Toiten had demanded an explanation of
the Commander of the Viper, who had responded,
but in manner unsatisfactory, as it made
no mention Of the circumstances of the burning
of the brig without legal investigation. The
This must be regarded a high-handed step on
the part of the individual who authorised this
mary mode of condemnation aud punishment The
fact is that the guarding of the miasmsc coast of
Africa is humbug, and if Great Britain chooses to
keep up her feet fer the purpose of securing the
shores of Guinea at an enormous cost of valuable
lives let her be alone in thus sacrificing her to
the Unsuitable phsntom Ofthis MOlOeh of mock phi>
anthropy and real fansticism. Whatever may be the
verdict Of Exeter Hail. the world has its own opinion,
snd that is, that the arrest of the slave trade
not be thus effected and if it could there is such
hing as paying TO dear for your whistle. At all
events the United States should withdraw from all
partnership in this useless and expensive humbug,
in which her flag is subjected to the insults of
hitrary and discOurteous officials.

The Purchase of Cnha.

The correspondent of the New York Nelos says:
The Opposition begin to fear that the admins

personal agent of the Queen of Spain has been in
this country for twelve month"; and that there have

The Baltimore Exchange says:
"a letter from Paris by the last steamer, from a
prominent source, states, on Information received
Iom Madrid that il is not probable Mr. Preston will
be received as United States Minister, but if he
should be received the first intimstion from him re-
lative to the purchase of Cuba would be deemed suf
fcient ground for giving him his passport. Our
Government, however, is not in receipt of any Off

THEIR HOPE.-The Boston atlas and B in
spsek.ng Of the Black Republican party Of Kenruky,
says:
They can muster some five thousand votes in

the scale. In Madison county alone, we're Mr..
Clay lives, which is in the Of the State the
Republicans can poll from i've 10 eight hundred

The vote for the Fremont ELECTORAL ticket in Ken

hundred and sixteen votes! We don't think that
could turn the scale in favor Of the Americans,
as the Democratic majority in Kentucky is not less
that twelve thousand, yet the paragraph We have
quoted shows the peg upon which the northern wing

the contest of 1860.
