Signs of The Times.

1t is unusual for public men Of the
South, in the height of their fame and
influence, to persist in retiring from SER
vice. But now, this singular spectacle is
shown in severalinstances. Mr.. Stephens
of Georgia, peremptorily withdraws.-
There is smash-up coming, he is said to
have remarked, and it is time to get off
the train. Geo. w. Jones, of Tennessee,
takes similar course. The same is true
of Mr.. Dowdell, of Alabama, Not least,
Mr.. Orr, of South Carolina, late Speaker
of the House, has likewise refused re-
election, and gone into voluntary retire
ment. We have before mentioned the
opinion of Douglas, as to coming events,
and the following, from the Washington
correspondent of the New York Express,
shows that Mr.. Orr has the same presenti-
ment:
After the adjournment of the last Con-
gress, the Speaker, Mr.. Orr, of South
Carolina, was requested by friend TO give
him his views on the political future
Mr.. Orr replied, without hesitation-"In
my opinion, the Opposition will organize
the next House of Representatives, and,
if they select a conservative, national
candidate, will also elect the next Presi-
dent"

The Pike's Peak Emigrants

A correspondent of the Boston journal,
writing from Brown county, Kansas,
says:
The roads in this vicinity, leading West
from the river, are white with the wagons
of Pixies Peak emigrants. They are
camped in large parties along the waters
of almost every creek, waiting for the
grass to start before proceeding further.
Those who went out month ago, and
are now beyond the timbered region,
must have suffered greatly during the re-
cent snow storms and severe weather.
Many started with small stocks of provi-
sions that are already exhausted. Even
here, before fifty miles of the journey are
completed. some without money or outfit.
beg their subsistence daily from the fara-
ers along the route. Many have applied
to the quartermasters at Fort Laramie and
Fort Kearney, for provisions to save them
from starvation. There is a story cur
rent that three hundred of these footmen
threatened the authorities at Kearney
that they would capt,rc the Fort unless
supplies were granted! Another party
took forcible possession of two wagon
| loads Of -four and meat, and sent the
drivers back to the States. Some have
died upon the route; and before the sum-
mer is ended, many plain, rude cross
| by the roadside will mark the last resting
place of gold seeker. The number in
| the territory now en- route for the mines
is little less than fifteen thousand, and
there is no perceptible decrease in the i'm
migration. Meanwhile the reports from
the mines continue very conflicting, ano
though many are sanguine, the informa
| ton is by no means satisfactory.
The number of hand carts and wheel
barrows on the way is almost incredible
Inst. Joseph a few days since, q train o
six hand carts, with the emigrants harm
essed in, had just started for the ferry
and attracted considerable attention
when fellow of the most solemn visag,
shouted out to them at the distance o
half square: "Hallo! hold on there
The gold seekers stopped while he came
up, and asked: 'are you going to Pixies
Peak" "Yes," was the rather crusty
response. "Well, why don't you wait fo
the grass ?" continued the interrogation
Grass I" calculated one of the emigrants
impatiently. "What do we Want o
grass we haven't any CATTLE" "Ver,
true, but you are making asses OF your
selves, and you ought to look out fol
provender." Amidst the roar of laughter
which cameup from the crowd the" Pike
Peakers" made general rush for theil
prosecutor; and nothing but nimble uss
of his legs saved the wag from soune
drubbing.
Pixies Peaker, writing to tho Rocl
Island Argus, says:
"Old mountaineers are plenty here
and tell some mighty hard stories abou
their mountain lives. They are general.

or game scarce, they kill the first strange

ANOTHER BEAUTY OF THE LAVA man
was indicted at Columbus, Ohio, for steal
ing two oxen and a COW. The proof was
that he stole two steers and a cowC-
Hence he was found guilty of petit larce-
ny as to the COW, and sent to Jail fifteen
days. The technicalities of the law often
makes courts, judges, and the whole le-
gal profession absurd. The above is a
case in point, but by no means an uncom-
mon one.

New YoRK, April 28.-The steamer AZ
rica has arrived. Her dates are anticipa-
tod.
The Dresden Journal says that the
Peace Congress will assemble on the 23d
of April, at Carlsruhe. 1t commences by
resolving on general disarming.
The London News thinks the Congress
just as likely to prepare and embitter, in
stead of averting the war.
1t is supposed that Austria's proposals
point for Congress wholly unacceptable
to France. The Paris Patrie says France
cannot be expected to diminish her ar
my.
1t is reported that the Pope will protest
against holding Congress. j..
Thirty Neapolitan exiles left England
for the Continent.
Lady Morgan, authoress, is dead.
The remainder of the Jassauer's crew
were saved, and have reached England.
All French officers on leave of absence,
have been ordered to join their ships
without delay. THis rumored that the
Emperor will soon leave for Lyons.
WALLAcHIA.-An internal machine,
supposed to have been intended to assas-
sinate Hospodar Coma, has been discov-
cred. Several arrests have been made.
Advices from the Suez canal are favora-
BILE.
The Governor of Suez has been deposed.
An attack on Sagnon, China, February
l7th, was successful, nine forts were can
nonaded and stormed. The French loss
was small and the enemy's heavy.
CHINA.-The decrease in the export OF
teas to the United States against last year
is 807 900 pounds.
Trade at Annoy is stopped.
1t is reported that the Rebls had attack
ed Hong Kong.
The London News Gays the result OF
the second meeting of conference is that
England, France, Russia. Prussia and Sar-
dinia shall recognize the double election
of Coma and Austria and Turkey to stand

A st. Petersburg despatch announces q

p0r Gov. Wise, in his recent letter to
Hon. David Hubbard, airs his scriptural
proficiency little and says, "the Reubens
have tried to sell me into Egypt for my
dreaming" The New York Express,
better posted in biblical lore, tells the
Governor that his reference is all wrong,
for it SO happens chat Reuben was the on
ly one of Joseph's brethren who did not
want to sell him.

SWEET OLD AGE.-God sometimes gives
to man guiltless and holy second child
hood, in which the soul becomes child

full fruit and ripeness, are mellow, with
out sign of decay. This is that sought for
