DAN SICKLEs AND HIS IU.D,
TORS

Several of the New York papers contain
the intelligence that Dan Sickl $ and hi,
wife have made Up tho little difficulty be-
tween them, for which he shot Philip Bar
ton Key dead in the streets of Washington,
and are living together again, as the Herald
says " in peace and mutual affection, bury
ing the past in the grave of oblivion. 4" The
New York Times admits the truth Of the
statement, though evidently it is a littls
annoyed at its being made known. 1t
speaks Of it as "a purely personal and Tri-
vate matter with which the public have
nothing to do, which remark, considering
the whole history of the subject, seems to US
a pretty cool one. 1t thinks moreover that
the Heading personal and political friends Of
Mr.. S'cSles' who in their belief that he was
a man maddened by intolerable wrong, inter-
posed their influence between himself and

Of his trial, g should not be made respons

pulse of Mr.. SICKLEs himself, without their
knowledge and in the face of their positive
remonstrance and disapproval." It strikes
US that the beginning and the end Of the
Times remarks knock each other in the
head; but ''that is Of no sor; Of conseq quence''
as Mr.. Toots says. A fitting celebration Of
the matter could be got up, if the editors,
lawyers, jurymCn, elergymen, and mob who
justified Sickles, and broke out into eestacies
at the result of the trial, would Just make

DIscoNTENr IN AUsrRIA.-A correspond
ent of the London Times writing from Vi
emma adverts to the insubordinate feeling
which pervades the italian regiments in the
Austrian service-of the readiness ofthe men
to desert whenever they can, and adds:
You may be sure that we are on the eve
ofimportant changes in Austria, as the En-
peror has obtained great insight into the ac-
tual state of affairs during the last two
months, and has acquired proof positive that
he has been deceived BY many Of the persons
around him. His Majesty Is said to look
deadly pale, and to be extremely cast down.

until they hare come to sstisfaetory undsr.

RARNMELL RHETT.

BARNWELL RHETT.
The Hon Barnw ell Rhett made a 4th of
July speech at Grahamville, S. c., the great
burden of which was that the North tyran-
nizes over the South, and that if the South
can not make the North knuckle to its de
mands,-and especially if the Democratic
party shall fail to elect their own man for
President, the Southern States must proceed
at once to set up distinct national s"v"r"
men. LOT themselves Mr.. Rhett insists that
the South must expand, else it can not live
"Pent up and confined within compulsory
limits, the labor of the two races may be-
come valueless, and the proportions between
them possibly be 50 disturbed as to lead to
insurrectiuns, Northern Intervention, and
final emancipation. This certainly is the
benevolent end contemplated by our Nor
thern brethren in seeking to prevent the ex-
pansion of the South Shall we submit to
be single among all civilized people in the
world, in our inability to expand? Shall
we bow down to so hostile policy? | an
swer-no. If in all other things our union
with the North was unexceptlOnable, | would

casian race, and will perform our part in

gions of sun and beauty. The broad erpGnSe
of the troplcs on this continent hes stretching
for thirty degrees on both SIDES of the egUdtor
for our ciuL conquest and possession. Shall
we not occupy it? Shall not Japhet and
Ham 90 out together and take their portion
of the inheritance Of the earth? Let the
North colonze the colder regions, where the
white man can labor advantageously in the
Fields for the productions of nature. We,
with the African, will possess the rest. Nor
need we ask them, or any other people, to
make good our title

The MYSTERIOUS PIANo.-Not long since
was invited to paw Il visit to some friends out
of town. In the family were three young
ladies besides young children. Being musical,
we spent the greater part of the first evening
of nv visit in singing and playing, and at
proper hour retired for the night, as we sup
posed As was great fayorite with all
the girls, each one wanted to sleep with me,
and to effect this, it was decided that instead
of going to my room, | should remain IN
their dou ble-b -bedded room Accordingly,
instead of going to sleep, we lay and talked

me on the arm in the middle of a most inter

and certain regular attendants there, and

who were in the other bed.
" There now, gIrls, don't you hear it.
Some one is playing on the piano"
" Who can it be?'' said Milly. Why
did you not lock it Fanny? it is your place
10 do it -
Well, !" said Fanny, Il did, an the key
is in the pocket of my dress.
This, of course we would not believe. So,
trembling from head ta foot, she got up,

piano sounding in simrl' a!"s from top to
bottom. and vice versl. bur Producing the
most wonderful quality of tone, resembling
those of n musical box more than any thing
else
We had all heard of spirits, and were
quite sure there were some in the house, for
it was not probable that any of the children
would be up at that hour of the night. So
it was decided that we should hold each
other by the hand and 90 across the hall to
father room. All this time the scales were
being played on the piano, as if some one
had been ordered TO practice for an hour.
We succeeded in awakening Mr.. w, and
in a few minutes he came out with a light
in his hand, when we formed a procession |
after him with clustering teeth, but withal, |
eager faces, for our curiosity was stronger
than our fear. We enter the parlor; sure
enough the piano is shut and locked, while
the gamut is being played regularly and dis
tinctly. The father asks for the key; all the
girls scream out at once;
"Don't open it; it must be spirits.
But Mr. W does not believe in piano
playing spirits, and opens the instrument,
while we are all huddled together, and he
exclaims

for the little animal, but it was no use,

Thus the obligation assumed by this Com
pany has been wautoniy violated, and the
EXPRESS laws of the State set at defiance by
some of the Stockholders of the Corporation.
acting in concert with the Trustees of the
first mortgage bonds of the Central road, and
in direct opposition to the advice and opinion
of the Directors and very respectable min
ority of the Stockholders of the VT. d G.. R.
Bv the foregoing, it will be seen that the
share holders OF the VT & G. R. after having
requested the Directors to accept the act of
the last Leg stature, and after having direct
ed them to prosecute the building of the
branch in accordance with the act, have,
through the influence of the Trustees of the
first mortgage bonds of the Vt. Central, re-
voked all their proceedings, and voted to
permit their charter to expire with the 3lst
day of August next.
Certainly the trustees are entitled to con-
siderable credit (?) for their perseverance
and diplomatic skill In completely controll-
ing the action of the Vt. & Canada Stock
holders in regard to the Burlington branch.
Still. there is every reason to believe, if the
Trustees had furnished as much money IN
support of the Burlington branch as they
have in successfully opposing it, that the re-
oulremenis of the act would be complied
with and the charter kept in existence until
the meeting of the next Legislature, when
the Stockholders of the Vt. d G. road could
20 before that body like honorable men. with
some probability Of having the more objec-
tionable features of the act of last session re-
moved But it might be inferred from some
remarks made by Mr.. Robinson. that the
Trustees, endowed with some magic power,
had advanced few steps into futurity, and
metamorphosed the Legislative ase2ns-
bly,, hitherto SO relentless and un-
yielding, into a purely charitable i1st1tli-
non, as be expressed his firm belief that the
stockholders Of the Vt. & c. road only have
to apply to the next Legislature with un-
doubted evidence OF their extreme poverty,
to obtain the relief so much desired. By
casual observance of the movements OF the
Trustees during the last few months, we do
not doubt their ability to place the Vt. c.
shareholders in truly beggarly position, 50
far as their stock is concerned, but we do
very much doubt their power to control the
Legislature of Vermont however deeply it
may be stained with Republicanism ; and
knowing the source from which the Judges
of our higher courts receive their important
positions, we are not quite ready to believe
that they can control them.
Mr. Robinson, who appears to be a gen
toman of the old school, we think will be
ready to admit. after the closing of the next
Legislature, that he has hitherto been more
conversant with the nature of spermaceti,
fin backs, and short-heads, than with YER
mont lawmakers.

SALE OF TIE COLLINS STEAMERs.-We are
sure it was with deep regret, if not some
sense Of shame, that the public read on Sat
urday Of the sale of the Collins Ocean Steam
ers to the Pacific Mail Company. Thus
goes out all hope of sustaining the Collins
or any other proper line of American steam
ers between this country and Europe. The
whole business is now given up to foreign
companies, principal among which is the
Cunard: Congress by refusing aid to the
Collins line, has efectually huniliated the
country in the minds of people at home and
abroad, by compelling the Abandonment of
business, which, encouraged by our Govern
ment as Great Britain encourages her lines,
would have enabled the American steamers
70 cope with competition. With all our boas-
ung vain gloriousness, we abandon the great
held of steam freight and passenger traffic
between the New and Old Worlds. We
turn over to foreign capitalists and foreign
control that which we should, from national
pride and interest, hold ourselves

FARMERS, TAKE HINT.-It Is very sur
prislng to see how slow men are to take a
hint. The frost destroys about half the bloom
on the fruit trees; everybody prognOsticates
the los of fruit, instead of that, the half that
remains is larger, fairer, and higher favored
thas usual, and the trees instead Of being ex-
bausted, are ready for another crop the next
gear. Why don't the owner take the hint,
and thin out his fruit every bearing year
But no, the next season sees his orchard over
loaded, fruit small, and not well formed; yet
he always boasts of that aforementioned crop,
without profting by the lesson it teaches.
We have heard a man saying, 1.-THE best
crop of celery ever saw, was raised by old
