AN EFFICIENT ENGINEERING
A Modern French Story.

"What dreadful situation for young
girl to find herself in !! Perfectly willing
to be married, and with dear, kind IA
ther, equally anxious for her to enter the
glorious state Of matrimony, which would
crown her with a halo Of felicity, and not
lover to be met with !"
Thus soliloquised young girl as she
sat looking over the wide domains Of her
fathers chateau, apart from the world of
Paris. Jenny d'Herbecourt was much to
be pitied. There was no ine1orable father,
no cruel guardian, nothing was wanting
to complete her felicity but mere triAe
the man, and the man sorely puzzled
the young lady's brains. Where was be
to be found in that isolated spot, only Wis
tied by numbering diligence ee
The good father was going to be mar
ried again, to Agale, nice, good creature,
and she, too, was anxious for Jenny to
marry. Was ever anything SO provoking
a. all these consents, without the assent
Of some dear unknown? Agale was stay.
ing at the chateau, and hard, indeed, must
be tho heart which would not feel for
Jenny.
"SOme one shall appear, sighed Jenny,
after conversation with her friend Agale,
the sort of one to infame a girls head, if
not her heart-all abou: laces and CASH
meres, orange flowers, 60 &c. Most un-
fortunately there was not young man in
the neighborhood "freo and able, "Jeuuy
reserved for herself to make him "willing")
until-O, blessings on minds given to
speculate IA Company sent down young
engineer to survey the land for Railroad,
and insisted upon his taking up bis abode
at the chateau.
A month had he been domiciled there.
Assuredly, if he was frst-class engineer,
be was third class gallant. lie didn't
seem to know that there was . young girl
within miles of him; bis heart was cold as
the rails be was about to have laid down,
and all his colduess made the iron enter
into Jenuy's soul.
All the day long he was making calcu-
lations, while she was speculating about
him. One day she pretended to faint.
Gustave flew to the rescue; he was forced
to look in her face, and discovered that
she wa, charming, fresh, bright as the
land before his horrid railroad cut it up.
Still be went on with parchments. So
Jenny went into bis office and carried OF
his instruments, &C., and locked them up.
In vain he implored. "YOu are look
ing very ill.," she said, "and shall insist
upon your only working 50 many hours .
day" Again he looked in the face of the
one SO anxious about him, and yielded.
She kept the key Of his Office.
This left him several hours . day IN.
disposed Of. What could be do with
them! Jenny solved the difficulty, and
together they surveyed the surrounding
country and its walks.

Rewarding the Doughfaces.

The Hartford Eceni"g Press makes ou'
. telling catalogue of difference of opinion
between Mr.. Buchanan and the people q.
to the merits of several distinguished indi'
viduals:
when Connecticut repudiated Isaac Tou.
cy, Mr.. Buchanan took him into the Cabinet
When Michigan repudiated Lewis Cass,
Buchanan took him into the Cabinet.
when old Berks repudlated Jehu Clancy
Jones, Buchanan rewarded him with the Com
mission 10 Austria
"When Indiana repudiated John Petit, Bu-
chanan made him Chief Justice of Kansas.
"When Iowa repudiated Geo. w. Jones, Bu-
chan offered him the mission TO Bogota.
when Iowa repudiaied Aug. Caesar Dodge,
ne was made minister 10 Spain.
when the Pro-Slavery party failed to es-
taolIsh Slavery in Oregon, Buchanan made its
leader the United States District Judge
That is Federalism, all over-Slavery
to the back bone-to favor those whom
the people condemn!

"Goop SOCIETY" is thus described: '1t
differs from the imitation article chiefly
in the fact, that it is not an imitation. 1t
dresses itself we'll, and adorns its abode,
and behaves itself with dsoorum and grace;
it dses 90 not because these things are
customary and expected, but because it
respects itself, and because it loves what is
clearly, orderly, and beautiful. Good 80
ciety does not, however, despise public
opinion; it is only not its slave. 1t is q
free and joyous fraternity, wherein every
one does what be pleasss, because every
one pleases to do what is right in itself

MY Sister in Heaven.
Oh, twas a sorrowing. lonely hour,
when, standing round thy bed,
W. N strange, uncarthly look,
Thy checks and brow oersp-ead.
We felt twas hard to view thy pains
To SEE deaths shadow fall
Ger thy Kind face. our darling one,
so wrll-bcloved by all.
With bursting heart we strove to give
Thee up though bright and dear.
And rendered back with faith to God
The gem lie lent us here
Gaz"i on thy coffnrd form thy hair
Retained its graceful wave,
But late-lo,ing eyes were dim, and lips
No answering greeting gave.
Thou 'rt not forgotten, angel sweet!
Though thou hast passed away,
And time has passed most mournfuliy
Since thy sad, funeral day.
Still in our lonely grief We feel
Sweet consolation given,
Though one til. less may cheer US here,
We've one the more in heaven. HARRIE.

Z. That whereas, under the cover and disguise of
pursuing peaceful occupations, many dangerous ennis
saries from the Northern States have raversed this
State, secretly instilng their insurrectonary pas
sions into the minds Of our slaves; we advise His

strangers from non-slaveholding States canvassing
this State venders of merchandise, or solicitors
fer the sale of the same, lecturers tract and book
agents. or for any other purpose whatever, to be
subjected to the strlctest scrutiny and whenever,
upon such scrutiny any suspicious circumstances
attach to any such persons, they be placed under
bonds to keep the peace and observe the laws Of this
State and for failure to give the required bonds to
be confined in close prison persons dangerous to
the peace of the State.

No Speaker Elected.

Up to Wednesday evening no Speaker of the
House of Representatives had been elected. The
black Republican candidate, Mr. Sherman had re-
ccived 107 votes, lacking of an election.
Mr.. Clark's resolution, introduced the first day of
the session, declaring that no member who had en-
dorsed Helpers book is fit to be Speaker, was still
under discussion. Mr. Gilmer persisted in embar-
RAISING the conservative portion Of the House with
his unnecessary amendment to Mr.. Clark's resolu-
ton. ., ..-. -. .......... ..
The question of slavery was also under discussion
in the Senate. The Congress of the United States
never so excited on this or any other question
as it is now.
The Presidents message has not been sent in, and
is not expected until after the House is organized.

CHARLES F. FISHER, Eso.-The last Newbern
Progress says: "The enemies of Mr.. Fisher, the
indefatigabe President of the North Carolina Road
have commenced a new war upon him, or rather re-

satisfaction to the masses the great work over which
he presides. His letter explanatory of his manage
ment of the N. G. Railroad and his connection with
the Western N. G. Railroad, in the last Salisbury
