PILLS, FOR FEMALES.

1Otal,
Grand total,

| From WAsHINGToN.-A correspondent Of
southern opposition members, whom it calls
"South Americans"
"The South Americans had a caucus to-day,
to consider a proposition from the democrats.
The programme was that if the South Amer
leans could procure for their candidate twen-
ty-seven votes, the democrats would go to
them; but upon failure, if the democrats
could procure for their own candidate Mr..
Bocock) ninety-three votes, the Americans
should go over and help elect him. There
were twenty-five South Americans present ;
Mr.. Davis of Maryland was the absentee
Mr.. Etheridge of Tennessee, denounced the
proposition in the strongest TERMS and con-
tended that the Republican party, by their
record, was really the most economical ma
tional, and conservative of the two great par
ties In the country, while the administration
party was the most corrupt and imbecile that
ever existed since the formation of the gov.
ernment,-that their pretensions of love for
the Union were all moonshine, and ought not
to be needed. His remarks were enthusiast
cally received. Other gentlemen spoke in
similar strain.
The subject of the plurality rule was dis
cussed, but no action was taken. The general
OPiiilOu oSciutu W Dc llldl lilt h6puDllCdDS,
with the anti-Lecompton Democrats, and the
vote of Mr.. Davis of Maryland, with, perhaps,
one or two others, would carry it whenever
the resolution in its favor was presented which
1t was thought would be on Monday or Tues
day. The meeting broke up with general
good feeling. Mr.. Briggs of New York, was
prominent actor in the caucus, but resisted all
coalition with the democrats"
A letter in the Boston Journal says:-
'While Congress is promoting the sale of
Helpers book by gratuitous and extensive
advertising, double delegation of the unit
ed and harmonious" democracy of Massachu-
setts are very busy at the other end of Penn
sylvania Avenue. One party are bent on the
removal or the retirement of Collector Austin
and the other, with equal zeal, defends him.
The "rotationsts" are using as their checal de
bdttdite certain turned-out clerks of your Bos-
ton Custom House. Their restoration is de-
manded, and demanded with the hope that if
the Collector finds his decisions overrued, he
will resign. 1t was said this morning that the
President had directed the restoration" but 1
can hardly credit it, although the position TAX
en- by Mr.. Austin on the Post Office location
unquestionably damaged his standing at the
White House.
letter in the New York Times says
Much dissatisfaction, it is said, exists among
portion of the democratic Senators at the
arrangements of the committees of that body.
Several claimed that DouglBs should be restor.
ed to the craftsmanship of the Territorial Com
mittee-a boon which was refused. The
southern democrats are beginning to discuss
the claims of candidates for the Charleston
nomination, and find that Gen. Jos. Lane is
a great favorite with many.

Mr. Editor:-Having seen an article from
the pen of q. Baker in your invaluable paper
of Dec. 18th, and thinking that article would
mislead the public mind in relation to the Har-
monial colony movement would say, in as
few words as possible, that am opposed to all
schemes and all organizations that tend in any
way or manner to destroy the individual home
of man; and the aim Of the Harmonial Colony
movement has always been, in its ground plan
and in its constitutional compact to give indi-
vidual homes to all lis members, and so organ
Use Industry that each and every member shall
practically carry out, in word and deed, prac-
teal Christian principles, as taught by the
great Nazarene. And here | would say to the
public-in regard to using his name-he was
not the one elected by the associations that
gentleman's name was Milo Townsend, of
New Brighton, Pa, and the reason that u.
Bakers name was used by the secretary, was,
in making out the report the secretary had for.
gotten the post Office address of the gentleman
named above, and knowing Y. Baker to be
friendly to the Harmonial Colony movement,
used his name without the consent of the As.

The REVISION OF THE STATUTEs.-The
of its friends by suddenly advocating CON-
plete rejection of that revision of the statutes
on which so much time has been spent by the
Commissioners and the Legislature. Ofcourse
this motion comes from Mr.. Charles Hale, edi-
tor of the Advertiser and Speaker of the
House. His object is not very clear but, if
there were good and sufficient reasons for do
ing what he proposes, the fact would be dis
graceful to those chiefly responsible for it, and
should be taken as an ample reason for exclud-
ing them from places of honor and trust, dur
ing the rest of their natural lives. 1t is very
true that the connection of the present Legis-
lature with the business has not been altogeth-
er creditable to some OF the leading members
but, we feel sure that Mr.. Hale's motion to re-
ject the present revision, comes not SO much
from a conviction that it should be rejected
as from personal prejudices and the unwhole
some heat generated by antagonisms that have
operated among those engaged in completing
the work. He does not give reasons why the
revision should be rejected, but states that
some other intelligent persons think as he
does. We think with the Springfield Repub-
ican, that "the Advertiser and Mr.. Hale will
unexpected attack" But there is no lkei.
hood that it will injure anything very seri-
ously.

THE BosToN UNION MEETING.-We have
shown our readers Governor Lincoln's sincere
and honorable protest against slavery, made in
his speech on taking the chair, at the Boston
Union Meeting. Ex-Governor Clifford put
something of the same kind in his letter reply
ing to an invitation to attend that meeting.
He said:
But in Withholding our sympathy and sup
port from those in the north who would i'm
peril the Union of these States by such acts as
tend directly to its dissolution, we have the
right to claim from our fellow citizens of the
south, that their sympathy and support shall
not be given to those whose official declara-
tons of treason actually threaten its dissolu-
ton. Especially when the ground on which
such threat is uttered is that recently assign
ed by the Governor of South Carolina, as a
new test of ineligibility to the Office of Presi-
dent, not found in the Constitution of the
United States"

JOHN BRowN's AUToGRAPH-Th Charles
ton correspondent of the Baltimore American
writes Zone of the Jail guard a worthy gen.
tleman of this place, asked of Capt. Brown
his autograph He expressed the kndest feel
ing for him, and said he would give it upon tho
consideration that he should not make spec
ulation out of it. The gentleman never al.
luded to the subject again, but on the morning
of execution Brown sent for him and handed
him the following communication
"CHARLEsTowN, VA, Dec. g. 1861
John Brown, am now quite certain that the
crimes of this gully land will never be purged
a'oay but with blood. / had, as now think,
vainy hattered myself that, without very

The New LONDON STAR, democratic pa
per, maintains that Virginia has right to
march troops into Ohio and arrest fuptiyes
from justice. Referring to Gov. Chase's de-
claration that Ohio will not consent to such an
invasion of her territory, the Star says -
"This is the kind of incendiary speech that has
done much to bring about contempt of law
in less informed persons" The democratic
party tends to persuade those who trust it,
that nothing but slavery has any rights. 1t is
likely that the individual who wrote what we
have quoted has never in his life read the fed
eral constitution. lie is plainly one of the
"less informed persons" and should make the
acquaintance Of certain yankee pedIar,"
mentioned, few days since, by correspond.
ent of the Charleston Mercury. This fellow
is denounced as an impertinent an evil penius
dangerous character, because he goes about
peddling "the Constitution Of the United States
in bronze, with gilt frame.)" The writer in
the Mercury wonders how he dare peddle that
document in "a Southern city" and adds -
"There is now in Charleston an itnerant Con
necticutlooking chap on such an errand How
much time ought he to have to pack his bronzei
and leaceY" We trust that the editor Of thu
Star will get acquainted with this "Connecticu
looking chap" and make a purchase. IL il
evident that the article il question is greatly
needed 10 his establishment; and, we dare say
il will be great curiosity to many Of his dem
ocraiic brethren.

IHE BURRILL ARNOLD MURDER.-It was
stated that man named Henry Wells had
been arrested in New York as an accessory to
the murder of Burrill Arnold 1t appears that
the real name of the person arrested is Henry
Percival Capron, a man who formerly lived at
Phenix, but who disappeared shortly after the
murder, leaving his wife and taking with him
another woman. The Sheriff of Kent County,
Mr.. jonathan G. Taylor, accompanied by Mr..
l.. Lapham, visited New York on Wednesday,
the 7th, and the next day, with the aid of Of
fcer Charles Freeman, they succeeded in find
ing and arresting their man. After the arrest,
Capron was taken to the City Hall, where he
offered to tell what he knew of the matter.
Ihe following statement, taken down from his
own lips, we find in the New York Express
"H. Z. Capron says, that he left off work at
P. NJ. on the night that Arnold was murder
ed and proceeded to the house and fed his cat
tie, which occupied about an hour; that he
reached home about y o'clock, and after eat
ing supper, which took about twenty or twen-
ty-tive minutes, he went over the bridge about
oo'clock to meet Katy, agreeably to an ar
rangement previously made between them he
then went over into the bushes south of Mr..
Levalley's house and remained about three
quarters OF an hour; he then left Katy and
went to Collins tavern, at the bar of which he
found three men, one Of whom was Edward
Shea he (Shea) was talking to his compan-
ions about the murder of Burrill Arnold he
(Capron) called for some gin, and looking at
the CLOCK IN the room, saw it was O'Clock,
when he drank off his gin, and mentally re-
marked, 1T was not who shot him."
The importance of this statement will be
seen, when it is remembered that Shea, in his
defence, endeavored to prove that he was at
the house of his father-in.law, Mr.. Cole, near
Apponaug, the entire evening

THE WINTER SEAsoN.-The air sparkles
The ground is crisp and musical under your feet
The frost pencils his Winters Tale on your
windows in eccentric hieroglyphcs. Sleds,
built in very radical styles, rush by you on the
inclined sidewalks, and in the streets. Here and
there, IA few sleighs-sleds grown mature and
conservative-are tempted into the highways
by the scanty SHOWS. The emerald ponds, and
Srystalized water courses are lively with the
graceful movements of dancers upon skates.
The evidences of the new season are seen in
the color of their cheeks and felt in the prick
ing of their ears The witch's rhyme,
"By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes"
is no logic of theirs. The sharp attack of the
west winds, piercing their self.defensive nit
tens, and scaling their ramparts of fur, is pro-
phetic of greater pleasure than pain. Thanks
to the good wisdom and ingenuity of our peo-
pie, who do not consider it crime TO multiply
recreations they make the most freezing of
days tributary to their joy. To those who are
surrounded with the comforts of successful
fortune, and who never knew how bitter
thing it is to want, and not have, winter brings
no sorrow. 1t is only another season of pleas
ure, improved by the change. But there are
others upon whom it falls with leaden weight
of woe. Whether by miscalculaton, by un-
foreseen changes of fortune, by sickness, or
other causes of distress, many in all our cities
and towns are surprised in helpless misery by
the approach of winter who bear their miSfor-
tunes in proud silence, while one after another
of their customary sources of relief are mar
rowed and closed. The care of these heirs of
the House of Want is constant and always
present duty. And it is one of the beautiful
fulflment of such duty is also one of the
sincerest delights.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT TO THE SECRETARY
OF STATE.-We learn from the Boston Travel.
Ter that Hon. Oliver Warner, Secretary of
State, met with singular accident on Mon
day. In passing down Essex street, he slip
ped upon the icy sidewalk. As he fell the
back part of his neck struck the chine of a
barrel with considerable violence. He was
Immediately conveyed to his home, and for a
time it was feared that the injury might prove
to be of serious character, but Tuesday
morning he had partially recovered from the
shock, and will be able to resume his usual
duties soon.

"THE RIGHTs OF THE SoUrH"-One
noticeable feature of the debate in the Senate,
Monday, was the reflection made by Mr..
Iverson on the northern democracy and Mr..
Bigler's abject and servile reply The assump-
ton of Mr.. Iverson was that in questioning
the right to hold slaves in the territories by
virtue of the Constitution, the northern dem
ocracy were guilty of an attack on the rights
of the south. Mr.. Bigler replied in substance
that they had always been faithful to slavery,
had "labored in season and out of season in
defence of the rights of the south, " and hoped
they would not be denounced as abolitionists
on account of differences of opinion on the alb
stract question of territorial rights. All that
he said of the fidelity of the northern dem
ocracy to slavery was disgracefully true, and
was expressed with candor wholly unconscious
of shame. 1t certainly ought to disarm that
base ingratitude which forgets the long, dis
honorable, and unpaid service of the democra.
cy of the free states, because, in the slow
processes of decay, it is not able to per-
form its work so satisfactorily as in former
years. But it is pleasant to see that the mean
ing Of this much misused and misunderstood
phrase, ''the rights of the South,' is coming
to be settled by Democrats themselves.
Slaveholding Senators, with unparalleled inso-
lence both Of statement and of manner, have
used it for years to frighten timid men into
acquiescence with their mad schemes, and
Northern Senators have come home to instruct
us that suitable Difference to slavery and its
lordly defenders is part of our Constitution
al obligations" We are glad to see that the
load which they have endeavored to impose
upon other shoulders is becoming too heavy
for their own

INEFFABLY MEAN.-An individual in Alb
ington, who was made for some purpose
inscrutable to us, has taken the trouble to
transmit to southern journals the names and
pursuits of twenty-three of his fellow citizens
who signed the call for John Brown meeting.
The fellows object will be comprehended
when it is known that several of his neighbors
are manufacturers, and intimately connected
with the Southern trade. This wretched speci.
men of anatomy should have pin stuck
through him, and be put in a glass case for
the benefit of science.

firm in Benton, Lowndes county has been re-.
quested by the citizens to leave. His name
is Greenwood, and he is partner in highly
respectable dry goods house in that place
The cause alleged is, that he is educating his
daughter (Southern born and reared) in a
school Of negroes and white children, in Con
necticut If the fact be 50, il is an outrage on
Southern sentiment, which would justify much
harsber treatment. A young lady educated
among negroes would look well among South

thence, it had burnt through the floor, and was
