A SAMPLE OF THE % SYMPATHY."-A better il
lustration of GO free soil" sympathy has not been
lately seen than that described in the following
paragraph about misguided lady from North
Carolina:
An old lady, Mrs. Frances Kindred, is now an
inmate of the Warren county (Ohio) Poor House.
She formerly resided in Arson county, N. c., and
was rich in lands and negroes, but has spent all
her property in liberating her slaves. In 1852 she
went to Hillsborough, Ohio, with her last slave.
She has since become so reduced in circumstances
as to be compelled to take refuge in poor-house.
She and her friends now appeal to phlanthropists
to contribute enough to get her out of the poor
house and place her in more tolerabe institution.
Mrs. Kindred is now SO years old

Louis Napoleon and the Temporal Power Of
the Pope.

A letter lately published in Paris was attributed
to the present Emperor. The Moniteur Of the fol-
lowing day makes the following statement, which,
however, does not materially diminish the import
ance or significance of the letter, as both he and
his brother were in Italy at that time on the same
errand-combatting in Romagna for the independ-
ence of Italy-and the other only held the pen be-
cause he was older and the responsible man of
the two at that time, being generally regarded as
the most capable of the Bonapartes after the first
Emperor:
The letter addressed to Pope Gregory XVI, and
which some of the journals have attributed to the
Emperor Napoleon, was written by his brother
Prince Napoleon, who died at Forli in 1881.

A WOLF IN SLEEPS CLorHING.-In the Savannah
News we find the following:
Yesterday morning man dressed in female ap-
pare, and who gives his name as Charles Williams,
was up before his honor, the Mayor, on charge
of sailing under false colors p in other words,
habitually appearing in the guise of woman.
1t seems that this person has been regular So
journer in this city, Charleston and Augusta, for
the last three years, always passing as female,
and without suspicion as to his sex, until very re-
Gently. During late visit to Charleston circum-
stances transpired which led to the belief that he
was not what he seemed. These suspicious having
been communicated to our Chief of Police, caused
his arrest, when he made full confession, in which
he stated that he had regularly appeared in
womans apparel since he was ten years old, but
| refused to give any reason for such strange and
| unaccountable conduct.
| This is one of the most singular cases we have
ever heard of. For years past this individual has
| frequented our streets, in broad daylight habited
| and looked upon as woman, and without shadow
| of suspicion resting on the minds of any one thai
| he was man in disguise. His voice, appearance
and manner were allain perfect keeping with the
character assumed, his face being as smooth as
woman's, although he must be at least twenty twt
years of age. 1t is suspected that this disguise ha
been assumed for some Interior purpose, and, a
he has been seen frequently in close conversation
with negroes, a suspicion has been raised in til
minds of some that he is an Abolition emissary
He has been committed to prison to await furthe
examination.

A TRAIN OF CARS PASSES THRouGH PRAIRIE ON
FIRE.-On Friday night last a train of cars on the
Joliet cut off railway ran through prairie on fire.
The flames were burning fercely under the very
feet of the iron horse as he sped on his way. For
long distance on either hand the earth was black
ened where the flames had swept over it. On
reaching bridge about mile east Of Dyer station,
it was found that part OF the trestle had been
| burned away. The train was detained there seye-
raj hours in repairing it. -IChicago Times.

A New REPUBLICAN PLANK.-The Washington


correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes:
A new plank has been added of late to the Re-
publican platform, the object of which seems to be
to engage the sympathes of the negrophilists for
the free people of color, as well as those held to
service. As the free blacks cannot enjoy, any.
where in the free States, the advantages of equal
social condition with the whites, it is proposed to
colonize them in some portion of America, out of
the present limits of the United States where they
can be under such protection as this government
may be willing or able to afford them. This pro-
ject originated with Mr.. Blair, when Representa-
tive in Congress from Missouri, and it now holds a
prominent place in the remodeled Republican,
creed, as recently promulgated by Mr. Bates, of
Missouri, who, next to Mr.. Seward, is the favorite
candidate of the Republicans for the Presidency
There is one objection to the scheme, towit: its
impracticability. But. independently of that it
would be a very good scheme. To colonize the
people of color, or even portion of them equal to
their annual increase, would be heavy expense tc
the Federal Governments: and if they refuse to &C
how can they be forced to go I? The abolition wing
of the party would oppose the measure, as they
have done the Iiberian scheme, because, as they
say, it would remove an evil attendant upor
slavery,

There were two deaths from yellow fever in Gal.
weston on the nth In Houston the fever has pretty
much died out The Telegraph has the following
We learn of several deaths at Hampstead during
the past week Of yellow fever, but have not their
names nor those who have died in Houston since
last Friday Of the latter, there have been eight
or ten It is the universal belief however, that the
fever is all over. Our citizens are beginning to
come in.
We understand that there il movement in town
to raise company Of men to 60 to the rescue OF
Brownsville. Quite number have enlisted.
The Brazoria Democrat and Planter Of Nov. Is
mentions samples of sugar from six or eight plant
ers and says is quite difficult to tell which is SUI
perior; and if the whole crop is equal to the
samples, it is vast improvement upon former
years. The Planter says that some sugar planters
find it difficult to their mills for want Of water,
and there is general need of rain.
The Jefferson Gazette Of the 10th says:
| Our streets are now constantly lined with cotton
wagons. 1t il thought that third more cotton
will go from this point this season than shipped
last year. Our merchants still hold out to supply
| tine demands of the back country-the extra
| amount Of cotton raised, making baggng and rope
| alone scarce.
The Galveston Civilian has the following:
| Thus far the vast extent of the grazing lands in
Texas, in proportion to population, has made beef
| the most cheap and abundant article of animal
food to be obtained. Yet, in many parts of the
| State the complaint already has been raised that
no cattle can be fed on the prairies and that
the herds are already suffering from the excess Of
benefits to grow out of the great attention which il
| now given to sheep will have quite as much refer
ence to the question of food for our population a.
| the profits to be derived from wool.

SUSPICIOUS PERsoNs.-The Georgians appear to
be greatly alarmedby the appearance of suspicious
strangers in various parts of their State:
The Columbus papers inform us that one of these,
named Vim. Scott, who was travelling agent for the
New York house of Charles Scott Co., 254 and
256 Canal street, appeared in Columbus few days
since, and was required to leave on the Eastern
train.
A correspondent of the Georgia Telegraph says
a party of snspiciouslooking individuals We're
looking about the plantation OF Mr.. ]. P. Snipes, in
Epson county, lastwe They were known to be
in communication with negroes, and refused to
give any satisfactory account of their purposes
destination. They were driven off by the citizens
of the neighborhood but came by crcutous
route to the lower part of Taylor county. party
from Butler waited on them, but failed to elicit
enough to eliminate any of them, and under q
promise to leave the State they were turned loose.
They left then in the direction Of Oglethorpe.
A Gentleman from Macon county, Ala, informs
us that two suspicious characters have recently
been i'll Loachapoka.
The Montgomery Mail remarks:
All this goes to show that our people ought to b,
very vigiant in discovering and Furnishing thes'
fellows, wherever they may be found. Orderin.
them to leave is no punishment.

THE AR-CuRRRNTs.-The National Intelligence
publishes the following communication:

publishes the following communication:
Gentlemen: In 1856 I published my views on
aerial currents prevailing on the west coast Of
America and the Pacific ocean, and in May, 1857,
published in your valuable journal my views on
uniform counter wind currents in all parts of the
world, and showed | think, that they are all i'm
PEELED by the motive power of electricity. How
ever this may be, it is not now the point under
consideration but the current which is to watt the
great balloon from the shores of America to the
shores of England.
1t is highly probable that all the great uniform
wind currents of the world are directed in their
course by the great ocean currents which flow
beneath them If this be true, then, if Professor
Lowe will transfer his starting point from New
York city to the Island of Cuba and ascend in the
aerial currents indicated by the Gulf Stream, he
may pass the eastern coast Of the northern half of
this continent and reach England within the time
indicated in his programme. Again, if he ascend
at New York city in current flowing from west
to east, he may reach the great ocean current in
dicated by the Gulf Stream, and thus achieve the
object of his experiment. Currents counter to thu
great uniform wind currents in all parts of thu
world are alike subject to the electrical condition
of the atmosphere.

MURDER IN MONTGOMERY The Montgomery Ad.
vertiser of the 18th says:
A young gentleman by the name of McCrabb
formerly Of Washington City, but more recently Of
Columbus, Ga, was shot and killed by some un
streets last night. We understand, from an eye
witness of the difficulty, that the deceased gave
his antagonist blow with his fist, whereupon tn.
latter drew his pistol and shot him. Mr.. McCrabt
ran to the opposite corner, and fell within few
feet of the drugstore of Messrs. Glackmeyer y
billiard. He did not survive more than five min
utes after being shot. The ball took effect in the
left breast, just above the nipple.
The person whs committed the deed immedi
ately fled up Perry street. He had not been ar

ORIGIN OF "OLD ScRATcH.''-"O Old Nick"
although considered rather sharp than otherwise,
has been served some very acute tricks. Among the
best, we have heard Of poor old cobbler who made
league with him, and after enjoying every earthly
blessing, he was waited upon at the end Of his term
by his birthstone majesty, who demanded his soul.
The cobbler took a sharp knife. and ripping off
the sole Of his SHOE threw it at the feet OF his Illus
trious guest.
q What does this mean? ~ cried the latter.
