change its nature, as well as in o military
as in a political aspect. Obliged to attack
the enemy in front, who was entrenched
behind great fortresses and protected on
his flank by the neutrality of the surround
ing territory, and about to begin long
and barren war, found myself in the face
of Europe in arms ready to dispute our
successes or aggravate our reyerses.

which is the especial end, design and fruit
Of its labors, by vote Of 81 to 13, every Dem

IS not bestowed upon negroes. A competition
between Lawrence and Topeka, each desiring
to be the capital Of the State, ended in the Sc

Mcclure House, in Wheeling, Va, by lady
boarder occupying an adjoining room, Of pack
age Of money amounting to $1,000. The lass
was overtaken at Bridgeport, just across the
river, and the money recovered. Her deep con-
triton and assurances that this was her first Of
fence, prevented prosecution. She claimed to
be lecturer, and gave her name as LIZZIE

this Miss Winters once robbed her of trunk

Some paper, deuounciug NapOleon's peace
with Austria as downright treachery to Italy
quotes aptly Byron's advice to the Greeks
some forty years ago:-
"Trust not for freedom to the Franks
They have king who buys and sells;
In native swords, and native ranks,
The only hope Of courage dwells;
But GERMAN force, and GALLO fraud
Would break your shield, however broad.

FRENCH DESIGNS ON THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
"A Hawaiian correspondent of the Providence
Journal gives an account of recent attempts of
the French government to gain influence iu the
Sandwich Islands, showing an evident design to
appropriate the islands at the first convenient
opportunity The facility with which France
assumed sovereignty over the Society and Mar
quesas Islands, without remonstranee from
any other power, no doubt has led TO the be-
lief that similar course may be pursued with
Hawaii. strong presumption is, however, en-
tertained that England and the United States
viii not permit such an act of open usurpatioD,
particularly after both have by treaty guaran-
teed the independence of that little kingdom.

EXCITEMENT AT ToLEDo.--Mr Angler, well

convicted, under the law of the State, for sell
ing liquor without license, and is now in prison.
The people of Toledo are deeply excited upon
this matter, and the Blade says a rumor was
prevalent that demand was to be made upon
Judge Fitch for the release of Mr.. Angler and
if that request was refused, he would be liberia

which says public meeting had been held,
which was addressed by Judge Fitch and Pro-
scouting Attorney Lee, at which these gentle.
men stated that they had no control of the
matter, and no authority TO interfere, and the
Governor alone could release Mr.. Angler. Two

THE LoTUs.-We have recaived the first
number of a new monthly periodical bearing
this title, published at Memphis, by HUrroN d
CLARK and edited by ANNIE CHAMBERS KETcHUM
In typographical execution it is superior to
anything of the kind we have met in the
South. We much admire its form and type
and paper. Its contents are of high order,
and will doubtless have a ready acceptance
from the public. The publishers say it is
established on permanent basis, and that it
will appear regularly on the first of every
month. In style. it resembles the North
American Review, with less volume, it only
embracing 20 pages. Under the name of
Annie Chambers Bradford, the Editress has
achieved high distinction, both as writer of
prose and verse, aud the present work fully
justifies her reputation in both. We wish the
LoTUs much success.
