Ha~ A new trial has been granted at st.
Louis by the Court of Common Pleas, in the
notorious breach of promise case in which Miss
Efie G. Carztung recovered 500, 900 DANA
ges against Mr.. Henry Shaw. The Court
said that # the plaintiffs case were perfectly
free from exceptions, the amount of the YER
dict would not, under the circumstances of the
case, be a sufficient reason to set it aside But
the verdict should not stand where the Court
had excluded testimony, and the parties had
got it before the Jury, or got it where they
were likely to see it, by publishing it in the
newspapers, as was done in this case.

A Washington correspondent Of the Phila-
delphia Press says that the Postmaster Gene
raj has not extended his curtailment of the
mail services into the Southern States. His
operations have been confined entirely to the
Northern States, under pretence of keeping
down the expenses of his department, while
it is generally known that in these States the
service is not only self-sustaided, but actually
yields a profit to the Treasury. On the other
hand, in the Southern States, the service has
always been sustained by drafts on the Treas
ury, and there the mail arrangements are un-
disturbed

woman.

No star in yonder sky that shines
Can light like woman's eye impart,
The earth holds not in all its mines
A gem SO rich as woman's heart:
Her voice is like the music sweet
Poured out from airy harp alone;
Like that when storms more loudly beat,
It yields a clearer, richer tone.

Setting. Up and Down.

A chap once told st. Patrick's dean,
While rising from his seat, 81 mean
To set up for a wit"
"Ahf" quoth the dean, EFF that be true,
The very best thing yon can do
Is down again to sit"
Too many, like that would be wit,
. Set up for what they are, not ft,
Andsalways loose their aim
Set up for wisdom, wealth. renown,
But end the farce by sitting down,
With poverty and shame.
A middling farmer thinks lie can
Set up to be a gentleman,
And then sit down content;
But after'many turn and twist,
Is set down on the pauper list,
a fool, not worth a cent.
When farmers wives and daughters fair,
Set up with silks and bonnets rare,
To fook most roudrous winning,
They sit upon a slippery stand,
Till indulgence, with iron hand.
Upsets their underpinning.
Some city ladies, too, whose gear
Has made them to their husbands dear,
Set up to lead the ton;
Though they sit high on fashions seat,
Age, death, or poverty, albiet
Will set them down anon.
Some fools set up to live by law,
And though they are all over jaw"
Soon fail for lack of brains;
But had the boobies only just
Known where they ought to sit at first,
They'd saved a world of pains.
A quack sets up the doctors trade,
But could he use the sections spade
No better than his pills,
The man might toll from morn till night,
And find his match with all his might
TO bury half he ILLS.
You may set up for what you choose,
As easily as wear old shoes,
If e'er so low at present
But when you have set up in vain,
And find you must sit down again,
Ills teri IDLY unpleasant.

Nor yet in the temple those rights which she took,
By the altar, the mite crown'd bishop and book
Where oft in her jewels doth stand the fair bride,
Towhispcr those VOWS which through life shall abide
The building was humble, yet sacred to Him
Before whom the pomp of religion is dim
Whose presence is not to the temple conin'd, ~
But dweIls with the contrite and lowly of mind.
Twas there, all unveil'd, save by modesty, stood
The Quakeress bride, in her pure satin hood!
Her charms unaaorn'd by the garland or gem
Yet fair as the lily just pluck'd from,its stem.
A tear glisten'd bright, in her dark Shaded eye,
And her bosom half utterd a treaulous sigh,
As the hand she had pledged was confdingly given
And the low murmurd accents recorded in heaven
I've been at the bridal where wealth spread his board
Where the sparkling red wine in rich goblets was
pourd;
r here the priest in his surplice from ritual read,
And the solemn response was impressively said. .
I've seen the fond sire in his thin locks of gray.
Give the pride of his heart to the bridegroom away
While he brushd the big tear from his deep turrow'd
cheek.
And how'd the assent which his lips might not
speak.
But in all the array Of the .%coStlier scene,
Naught seem'd to my eye SO sincere in its mien, d,
No language so fully the heart to resign,
AS the Quakeress brides Until death am thine.

What never prayed to God above,
That holy one whom angels love,
And worship round the throne?
And thou, a child of earthly mould,
With heart so hard, unfeeling, cold,

To Him who earth's foundations laid,
And called the stars by naKe2

Forbids the thought that man must die,
And gain not heavenly fame

Through the hearts cells it doth rescued
And vibrate long and loud:

In strains SO mournful. man is made
To feel what he has yow'd.
Sad, solemn thought a child of clay
Refuse an homage thus to pay,
And bow at Heavens shrine
A mind SO groyeling, can it be
A spark of the great Deity,
Ethereal and sublime?
Rise from Che dust! disperse tho gloom
By prayer to Him who burst the tomb
And babe the sleeper rise!
Assert thy high-born claims to Heaven,
Confess thy sins and be forgiven,
And dwell above the skies.

CHARLEsTowN, Monday eVening.-The
town on Saturday and Sunday was crowded
with strangers and the military. Extensive
preparations are being made for the recep-
ton of additional military forces. Churches
are taken possession of for barracks, and
sentinels are nightly firing at imaginary foes
and number of citizens have narrowly es-
capped their bullets. On Sunday night, the
military confidently expected an attack, and
the sentinels were doubled. No hostile for
ces appeared however. How they are ex-
pected to arrive is not stated, but as the
country is being patrolled for 20 miles
around, 1t must be by the underground rail-
road.
1t is stated on good authority that Wise
has sent spies into Ohio and Pennsylvania,
and it is from their reports, that large bodies
of men are arming and moving towards
Virginia, that the military forces are being
augmented About 700 additional troops
have arrived here since Saturday, Including
two companies from Wheeling. So that we
have now about 800 military under arms.
A letter from Huntington county, Penn
sylvania, states that large bodies of armed
men are moving towards Virginia across
the North mountain, supposed to be on their
way to Charlestown. These reports cause a
constant panic. All is quiet to-day and ar
rangements are being made tor erecting the
gallows.

New YORK, Nov. 27.-The q. 5. steamer
Baltic has arrived from Aspinwall, with
California advices to the 9Th irst She
brings $l,75o,000 in gold, and $50 passen-
gers, including the officers and crew of the
q. S. steamer Saranae.
The Baltic's advices are only one day la
ter than those received by the overland
mail, and are entirely destitute of general
interest.
The Baltic left Aspinwall on the 18th,
and connected with the Golden Gate at the
Isthmus, which was detained forty-four
hours by severe gale.
The steamer Orizaba, of the Vanderbilt
line, left San Francisco the same time rs the
Golden Gate, with $50 passengers.
The Baltic brings as freight hundred
cases silk worm eggs from China, for Italy
and the south of France.
The Overland Mail from st. Louis, with
New York dates to the 10th of October,
reached Gilroy on the 4th inst.
The steamer Northern Light, of the Van
derbilt line, with mails and passengers from
New York on the 5th November, arrived at
Aspinwau on the 18th.
The steamer Baltic, which left New York

been on fire. The extent of her damage
was not known at Aspinwall

We heard of numerous instances where

We heard of numerous instances where
cellars were broken open on Saturday night
and robbed of their contents. One poor
fellow, who had been laboring hard all the
week, concluded he would fare sumptuous-
ly on Sunday, and laid in supply of
good things on Saturday, which he p laced
in the cellar for safe keeping until morning
But alas the morrow's sun revealed that
he had been viflainously robbed of his good
ly dinner, and we fear he devoted the day to
fasting and cursing rather than fasting and
prayer.
But that is not the worst. The thieves
had the hardihood-they were so lost to
every attribute # generosity-to break into
the cellar of one of the proprietors of the
Journal. Think of that A man breaking
into the cellar of printer, and that, too, on
Sunday night Could more complete
case of total depravity be found? Charity
impels US to the conclusion that the fellow
was mistaken in the house, and we doubt
not, when he learns whose cellar he was in,
remorse will induce him to return the bas-
kets and Ratchet that he stole. He may
keep the lard.

keep up the panic.
The military movement, it is said, grows
out of a confident belief that an attack will
be made tonight. 1t is said that Governor
Wise and Mr.. Hunter profess to have re-
ceived information that an attack will be
made to might. Companies from all parts
of the State have rendered their services to
the Governor; also. four companies from

they are permitted to be present at all, will
be assigned positions where they can do no
mischief.

ligence which reached Halifax that the
wrecked vessel was the Indian, and not the

1t is believed that but twenty-four, or, at

Sengers who were saved were robbed of all
their baggage by the people on shore, and
