SELF-CONTRADIcTIoNs.-The Administra-
ton has, in its anxiety to save itself with
the adopted citizens of the country, made
itself ridiculous. Mr.. Cass, in his letter to
Mr.. LeClerc, who was a native of France,
said:
have to state that il is understood that
the French Government claims military ser
vice from all natives of France who may
be found within its jurisdiction. Your nat
uralization in this country will not exempt
You from that claim, should you voluntarily
repair thither.
Acknowledgement Black denies this, and
says France reiinquishes all claims of allie
glance from such citizens. His words are
France has done the same established g
system of Naturalization, and, besides that
has declared in the Code Napoleon Art. III
that the quality of a Frenchman will be los
by naturalization in a foreign country.

A SINGULAR CASE OF BIGAMY.-A man
by the name of Tipp has been committed to
prison in Louisville for bigamy. He mar
ried wife in 1856, in Kentucky, and an
other in 1858 in Cincinnati. On investiga-
ton, it was proven that his last wife was a
grass-widow, living apart from her husband
at the time of her marriage with Tipp.-
The marriage was, therefore, null, the law
yers say, and the charge of bigamy against
him cannot be supported. Nor can it be
sustained against the grass-widow, because,
as it is alleged, Tipp was married man
and incapable of being welded at the time
she was united to him. Thus, by double
crime, they both escape. Neither has lie.
gal right to complain Of the other.

H6y- A few days ago, vessel from the
Canada shore brought into Cleveland, Ohio
sixteensb lacks-fugitive slaves-who, tired
of Canadian freedom, were voluntarily re-
turning to their old masters and homes in
the slave States. One family of four ne.
groes that had escaped from Paris, KY, had
written to their old master, requesting him
to be at Cleveland to take them home. He
was on the wharf when they landed, and
the meeting between him and his old SER
wants, show the strength of the domestic
ties which often bind the black servant and
master together.

PARSONS from all imaginable sources, are
poured out in tropical profusion and lux
uriance, and in his most unprecedented
improvisations he seems never at a loss
for word. He has, moreover. a point
edness of reproof, and boldness of de-
nunciation, which, in one of less power
and popularity, would be insutIerable
audacity. For instance, on this occasion,
his theme being the causes of dishonesty,
speaking of gambling, and addressing
himself particularly to his own people,
he said, Had the power to cause a
black star 10 appear in the forehead OF
every person in this assembly tainted
with this vice, what bowling of heads
there would be ! Some of you l know
to be gamblers suspect it, on no triv-
ial grounds, of many Others" Then he
denounced the vice and its votaries, as
none but himself could do it. What
ever he has to say, he says in the strong
est possible way. Sometimes his Ian.
guage is scarcely correct, not unfrequent-
ly inelegant; and occasionally, l regret
to say, in single expression or phrases,
positively low. These, l doubt not, are
thoughts and forms of speech, that come
on occasion, uttered as they are born, as
is evidently much else that he says. and
entirely foreign to his discourse as pre-
viously laid out.
But hear you saying "hold, enough"
and obey.
Yours Truly, E. c. B.

The st. Louis Democrat of the 18th,
(last Thursday )contains letter Of SOL
emn warning to those whom it styles the
deluded Pixies Peakers' Among
other facts the writer states that last sea
son hundreds Of men roamed for months
through the reputed gold region, Dig
ging here and there, bat not one of them
has ever come forward and stated that
he made money by the digging. Hun
dreds have also been in the mines du-
ring the whole of last winter, but we
have seen none of their gold which they
say they have obtained. The press is
teaming with their letters, all informing
the public that the writers are satisfied
that from three to ten dollars can be
dug up in a day-and also that the whole
country is laid out in town lots. This
last piece of information appears to a
mere locker on to be the motive which
induces those now at the mines to strive
for large emigration.

Pixies Peak News.

EH- A correspondent of the New Yorl
Tribune, writing from Seneca, Nemahs
County, Kansas, under date of February
Goth, after detailing other information re
speeding the character, prospects, and
people of that country, says:
A great many of our citizens have
taken the gold fever. and are making pre-
partitions to start as soon as the grass is
sufficient to support cattle in the Spring.
Already small parties are starting to the
mines from the towns along the Missouri
River-some afoot, some with Jack mules
and few with wagons. The notorious
Jack Henderson, with FIVE comrades,
passed through here on the 18th inst,
bound for the gold region. A word to
those who contemplate going to Pixies
Peak. Don't allow yourselves to be
humbugged into going by the glowing
accounts Of rich diggings and "big
strikes" you see in the Western papers,
especially those published along the
Missouri River, for great many Of them
are made out of whole clolh"-got up
on the most approved style by hired let
ter-writers, to bring trade or travel to
the towns along the river where said pa
pers are published, or by the proprietors
of paper towns or cities in the new Ell
Dorado. There is doubtless. gold there,
but not to be had by the scoop-shovelful,
or in fifty pound nuggets either, as
some would endeavor to make you be-
lieve. | have conyersed with dozens of
men during the last Fall and Winter di,
rectly from the mines some had spent
the Summer and scarcely earned their
bread, and some had not done so well as
that. Two young men spent two months
in digging and prospecting; they went
prepared with provisions and tools, and
every thing necessary to live on and work
with, and call the gold they found they
carried home in a goose quill" l think
their accounts are more to be relied on
than the stories of bogus town-site pro-
prietors, or spectators in provisions Ell
Their. Any person who is settled in a
good business at home had better stick to
it than to suffer himself to be led off on
a wild goose chase to Pixies Peak, at
least till the fact is established that gold
will pay. But some will go
anyhow, If but for the mere love of ad-
venture. To such let me say, don't start
without plenty ofprovisions, at least three
months supply for it is long way
from where anything Except game) can
be had. AT last accounts, flour was sell
ling at $50 per hundred in the mines,
and other things in proportion and it
will be midsummer before provisions in
any quantities Will arrive at the mines.

The New York Tribune's Washington
correspondent says new fillibustering
expedition against Nicaragua has been
organizing for some tire. General Walk
er's departure for California is directly
connected with it, as the enterprise will
start from the Pacific side. His present
confession of the Catholic faith is be-
lieved to be designed as Precipitation to
Nicaragua sentiment, but will not sue
coed, since he is known and detected
Gen. Henningsen's emigration scheme,
ostensibly for Arizona, is supposed to be
inspired by a similar purpose. with an
understanding as to future rendezvous.
The net balance in the treasury, ac-
cording to the weekly statement. is seven
millions, but material portion of this is
derived from sales of the recent loan.
