Mr.. Helper is native Of North Carroll
pa, who, as the result Of a careful observa-
lien and extensive inquiry, has reached the
very obvious and just conclusion that hu-
man slavery is tie great primary curse and
peril of the South, impending its progress
in morals, intelligence, industry and wealth.
This conclusion, with the facts on which 1t
is founded, is embodied in his book enti-
tied The Impending Crisis Of the Soulh''
"a work everywhere received and hailed
by the advocates Of free labor as one Of the
most impregnable demonstrations Of the JUS
tice Of their cause and the vital Importance
Of lis triumph TO our rational and general
well being. Were every citizen il pos
session Of the facts embedded in this book,
We feel confident that slavery would seon
peacefully pass away, while Republican
triumph in 1860 would be morally certain
Ii is believed that this testimony Of q
Southern man, born and reared under the
influence of slavery, will be more generally
listened to and profoundly needed whether
in the slave or in the free States, Than en-
equally able sUd conclusive work written
BY Northern man. And it Is very de-
sirabla, therefore, that cheap cOmpsnd Of

LETTERS OF LUcREMA. .BoRGIA.-The Chief Lii
braan of the Ambrosian Library in Milan,
Signor Bernardo Gallo, has recently published
a volume Of letters of Lucrezia Borgia, the no.
torious daughter of Pope Alexander vi, to
Cardinal Bembo, who, Notwithstanding his high
position in the church and the literary world,
was iuAamed with an ardent love for that beauti-
ful, talented, and naughty woman. These letters
have long been in the Ambrosian Library, and
have been often referred to by Lord Byron, in
his notes to Child Harold, but they have never
been printed. The letters themselves are writ
ten in calm, serious, and sometimes manly
style, and have induced the editor to attempt
an apology for woman who has been hitherto
regarded by historians Of all parties as one Of
the worst characters which have ever disgraced
the EARTH

A LoNG-LosT GUN.-About the year 1898, re-
marks the Parkersburg News, Daniel Rowell
aud Henry Neal started on a hunting expedi-
tion up the Little Kanawha, and after reaching
point on the river about eight miles above
what is now Elizabethtown, concluded they
could land on the lower or south side Of the
river for the purpose, hut no sooner had their
canoe touched the shore for Decentralization,
than they were fred upon by party of Indians
that had doubtless been watching their pro-
gress from the shore for miles below.
Neal was killed aud fell overheard his body
being recovered few days after, and Rowell,
to save himself, swan to the opposite shore,
carrying his gun with him, but finding be was
pursued to facilitate his escape, hid his gun un-
der, as be always said. q red oak log, in a drain
known as Burning Spring run. From thence
he passed out q short distance from the river,
through low gap, and the better to elude their
pursuit changed his course, and re-crossed the
river, gave the alarm, and raised party, but
several days having interviewed pursuit was un-
successful.
Rowell frequently in his lifetime, Che having
died in Alabama, at his sons, DR.. Neal Rowell,
in 1854, aged 93,) TO crafty curiosity. looked
for his gun, but appears to have been mistaken
about where be entered the drain, as 1t was
much nearer the river than he supposed; and
not finding it, he was forced to the conclusion
that the Indians had carried il away, in which
he was mistaken, as it had been found, and is
in most wonderful state of ofproservation. The
barrel is four feet long and not materially
injured, the polish remaining on the greater
portion of It the trigger whole, the springs in
the proper place, heavy brass guard, muEzle-
piece and thimble, brass box with the words
Liberty or Death" engraved on it. Although
it has been upwards of sixty years, the remains
of the red oak leg are still to be seen. The
muzzle of the gun had grown fast to dog
wood bush, and had been carried up by Its
growth about six inches from the ground.

ITALY.-Late advices from Europe state that
the King of Sardinia had received letter from
the Emperor Napoleon, urging his assent to the
terms of the treaty with Austria. Among other
things, Napoleon demands that the Duchies of
Modena and Tuscany shall be restored to the
Grand Dukes; that Parma shall be annexed to
Sardinia, and that the projected confederation
of the Italian States, shall, with moderate re-
forms, be carried out. Garibaldi had arrived
at Turin, to hold an interview with Victor En-
manuel His reception along the route had
been most entuhsiastic, and he everywhere re-
ceived expressions of the faith of the people in
his course, and their reliance in him to exert
all his influence with the King in their favor.

DEATH or VENERABLE LAwYER.-Judge
Cady, Of Johnstown, New York, died on the
2lst of Octob r, at the age Of SO years. Ofhim
the Albany Journal says: "He was one Of the
Oldest if not the oldest lawyer in the State. He
was admitted to the bar when Washington was
President. George Clinton. Governor, Robert
Yates, Chief Justice of our Supreme Court, and
Robert r. Livingston Chancellor. He is. we
believe the last lingering relic of the old school
of New York lawyers, Of which Livingston, Jay,
Hamilton aud Kent we're the founders, and Of
which Ambrose Spencer, Smith Thompson. Van
Vetcher, Williams, Henry, Van Ness, Talcott,
Ogden, Duer, Oakley and Cady were eminent
among the earlier disciples" He had been in
the Legislature, in Congress aud on the Su-
preme Bench. He became blind in April last,

SINGULAR FREAK.--James Trusdell, gentle.
man Of some seventy years, living in Liberty,
Pennsylvania, has been for over twelve years
past industriously engaged, when the weather
and his health would permit, in digging over q
piece of ground near his dwelling, and carry
ing the stones and some dirt into pile. Here
he has labored, taking one stone or shovel
full of dirt at time, until the mound has
reached the hight of thirty or forty feet, and is
much larger than his house. lie said as rea-
son for his labors that he had lost a sixpence In
his garden. lie soon after found several six
pences, but continued to dig until his whole
garden has been carried to increase the mound.
He is peaceful and industrious in his way, 30
his family let him work. To their offers of as
sistance he gives decided negative, and digs
away alone. Mr.. Truesdell is a well-informed
man, and talks nationally on every subject but
his lost sXpence.

THE FUNERAL. OBsEQUIEs Of the late Senator
Broderck were TO have taken place in New
York, on the 11th of November. Senator Doug
las. who had been invited to be present. wrote
letter excusing himself on account of the ill
ness of his wife. In it he says of Senator Brod-
erick:
"No man, under circumstances so unpropiti-
ous, ever established in that body prouder
and more enviable reputation in so short pc
riod. His vigorous intellect, the frankness and
sincerity of his character, his resolution Of pur-
pose and restless energy, his fidelity to principle
and to friends, commanded the respect and ex-
cited the admiration of his associates. His
sudden death will cast a gloom over the Sen
ate, as it startled aud shocked the whole coun.

MORALS IN TExbs.-Judge Buckley, in re-
cent charge to the Grand Jury of the District
Court of Galveston, presented most depora-
BILE state Of morals in Texas and continued:
"During the four years that have been on the
bench there have been between fifty and sixty
cases Of murder before me; and if in each Of
the twelve Judicial Districts OF the State there
has been like number, then there have been
upwards Of six hundred cases of murder in four
years, showing state Of things nnequaled in
any country; and that Of these six hundred ca
ses not six Of them have been found guilty by
the juries before whom they we're tried. 1t is
not possible to suppose that in all these cases
there was deficiency in the evidence, and the
only conclusion at which / can arrive is that
the jury must have forgotten or disregarded
their oaths."

DIsGRACEFUL.-Th remains Of the Hon. J,
Y. Mason. late Minister to Paris, recently ar
rived at New York on the Ocean Queen, were
on Thursday taken on board Richmond steam
er to be conveyed to Virginia. The coffin was
inclosed in wooden box, as it had been pack
ed from Europe, and was allowed to slide down
the gangway to the dock like an ordinary box
of merchandise Thence it was conveyed on
board the Richmond steamer without the slight
est manifestation of respect either on the part
of the authorities of New York, or of those in
charge Of the body. Not flag was lowered in
honor Of the distinguished dead and not even
guard Of honor accompanied his mortal remains
through the noisy street. Such treatment of a
man who had held the high position occupied
by Mr. Mason at the time Of his DEATH is dis
grace to the city of New York.

leigh Mahan-usually called Tom Raleigh-the
well-known Ethiopian delineator, was accidentally
shot by Frank Hussey, at San Francisco, on the
evening Of Dec. 5th, and died almost instantly.
The Telegram has the following particulars Of the
sad affair, which happened at the Bella Union:
Deceased was a member of the Ethiopian Band
of Minstrels, recently playing at that house, and
was behind the scenes, when one Frederick Fillmore
came IN contrary to the rules of the place. AT the
same instant, Mr.. Frank Hussey, also came off the
stage papitating with his recent exertons, and was
seized by Fillmore, who was partially intoxicated,
and asked Mr.. Hussey If he was strong! or words
to that effoct and commenced shaking him. This
irrtated Hussey, who requested him to desist, say
ing that he was tired. Gilmore, however, became
more violent, and finally furious, and drew pog-
nard, which Mahan perceiving, caught him by the
arm. Another person also attempted to seize him,
but he struggled violently to cause Hussey to
fear that he would succeed, when being near his
trunk, Hussey put in his hand and took out small
sized five shooter, and Immediately turned towards
the parties, when the pistol discharged and the
ball passed through the body of Mahan, killing him
almost instantly. The deceased was native of

gold, cast at an assay Office in that city, and
supposed to be the largest ever made. its value

THE TAMEsoAL TIN MINE.-SOme few weeks
ago, it was announced that in the southern part Of
the State the existence of tin had been devel-
oped; but little attention aroused to the matter
in the public mind. A gentleman arrived on the
last steamer from the south, with specimens Of
the ores, assays have been made, and astonishing
results obtained; and if the specimens now in San
Francisco fairly represent the quality of the ore,
there is no reason to doubt that have by far the
richest tin mines in the world. The mines to which
we allude are situated on the overland route some
sixty miles beyond Los Angeles, place called
Tamescal. Several veins Of the mineral have been
opened and we are assured that they of immense

A MINERS GARDEN.-Tbe San Andreas Inde-
pendent gives the following description Of a
miners garden near that place:
1t embraces near three acres; is on side bill,
laid off in small squares, terraced 80 as to re-
tain moisture, and extends to ravine into
which the debris of number Of mining claims
had been washed for four years. One year ago
it presented the most rugged and forbiddng
aspect imaginable. 1t was all heaped over with
huge boulders, stumps and gravel, and cut into
gullies Two men. working not one-third of
their time, have changed the repulsive place
into thing Of beauty" in lees tlian year.
1t is smothed and softened, planted in vines,
fruits, vegetables, ornamental shades, and con-
tains a neat, comfortable residence. In anoth-
er year it will yield living and $1,000 profit
to the owners. Yet the cultivation of this does
not interfere with any mining operations they
may be conducting, and when other miners are
idle and ''on expenses" these men will be prof
itably employed en- their farm. 1t cost them a

SURGICAL OPRRATIoN.-Dr. Thompson, of So
nora, recently performed an operation on the head
of a man named Geo. Sherman, who had been crazy,
and was about being sent to the Stockton Asylum.
1t appeared that the top Of the head had been nur-
ed at some previous time, and DIR. Thompson very
sensbly concluded to operate upon that part, which
he did by extracting several pieces Of the skull.
The patient was instantly relieved, and expressed
the greatest surprise that he should be found in the
cell Of a Jail. He is now enjoying as much reason
as he ever possessed. 1t is not always that evil
results from "taking off the top Of the head"
