RAILROAD SURvEY.-We learn from the Asheville
Nens, that MAJ Turner, Engineer in Chief of the
Western North Carolina Raj! Road, has organized
corps of Engineers to survey a route for the pro-
posed Western Extension from that point to Duck
Town, Tenn. Several members of the corps were
in Ashevile, en- route to Duck Town, and Maj
Turner we understand, will be along in day or
two. This survey, it will be remembered, was
ordered by the last Legislature.

EUROPEAN BANKRUPTCY.

Effect on United ,Stdses Money Nattcrs.-
The New York Herald says, Louis Napoleon
asks for loan of SOC, 600 600 francs (S10O,-
00C, ,000) to carry on the campaign in person.
The loan lately put in the market by Russia,
now the ally of Napoleon, is S60, 600, ,O00-
Besides these there are in the market loan for
Austria of $30,000,000, which hitherto she
has been unable to sell, but has seized instead
the metallic currency of the Austrian banks J;
a loan for Sardinia of S25,000,000, which she
has succeeded in obtaining a loan for Prussia
of S45, 100000, and loan for England, in be-
half of India, for $30,0Ga GOO.
The total amount of new loans in the mark
ct is $3.50 900, 900, besides exer $4,000 ,000,-
600 already due4by .tlleses sSes.arn:nepts The
effect of the coming war viii be to make them
all bankrupt. The annual interest on the debt
of England alone is 100000, 600. The an
nual expense of her army and navy is S157,
100000. Her whole annual expense is $40, >
100000. Russia owes $3.50, ,0G0,0 900, and the
annual expense of her army and navy is 49,
100000. France is in a similar prcdicament
They will not be able to pay the interest, and
a crash will take place that will shake all Eu-
rope The effect, on the contrary, upon the
United States, WILDE to enable the government
to pay off our national debt. The demand for
agricultural produce will greatly increase with
the war, and consequently vast amount of
manufactured articles will be sent over here to
pay for the food Of the fighting armies. Our
revenues will be so increased from the duties on
these goods, that soon the national debt will he
wiped out, while the nations of Europe will be
involved in bankruptcy from which they can
never recover, and thousands upon thousands
of fundholders will be ruined.

SENTIMENTS OF TRAITORS.

The ladies of Ashtabula county presented
banner to the d" Sons Of Liberty few days
since Benz F. Wade, in response to the pre-

There is no other alternative left for If

PRECEDENTS OF THE STCKLES CASE
DEATH OF SEDUCERS.
The N. Y Times, in an article on the acquit-

The N. Y Times, in an article on the acquit-
tai of SIcKLEs, says
Our whole judicial history is full of precise
ly similar cases. Singleton Mercer, in Phila-
delphia, followed the man who had seduced his
sister, for days, and shot him in a coach he
was acquitted by the jury Mr. Jarboe, in
Washington, met the seaucer of his sister and
asked him if he intended to marry her he
answered no. Jarboe shot him on the spot
and was acquitted. Myers, in Virginia, went
with friend to hotel, bought the seducer of
his wife, found him in his room and shot him:
he was tried and acquitted. Amelia Nor
man, in this city, shot the man on the steps of
the Astor House, who hass ssDetrayed her:-she
was acquitted. Mr.. Saanlph, in Maryland,
shot at the seducer of his wife, and was tried
for an intent to kill The was acquitted. Mr.
Bowyer, in Virginia. shos the seducer of his
daughter month after learning the fact, and
was acquitted Mr. Smith, in Philadelphia,
shot Bank President, who had sedueed Smiths
wife before her marriage he was acquitted.
Mr.. Sherlock, in Philadelphia, accompanied
the seducer of his wife from public room, shot
him dead on the street ard was acquitted. 1t
would have been very remarkable, if after these
precedents-with not a solitary instance to the
contrary so far are aware-Mr. Siekles
should have been convicted of killing the man
who had profted by his friendship, accepted
his hospitality, enjoyed his confidence, been a
constant, welcome anda trusted guest at his
fire side, and during all this time had been
maintaining the most criminal and infamous
relations with his wife. Such an issue would
have required some special explanation. The
most strenuous efforts have been made in va
rious quarters, and on various grounds, to pro-
cure departure, in Mr.. Sickles' case, from
this uniform action of our juries and criminal
ir,c alx,lIil ila nov
have all been defeated and the result Of his
trial only adds one more to the list of cases in
which juries have justified the killing of men
who had committed the most cruel of crimes
without the slightest danger of being punished
by law.

p@~The peach crop, everybody will be glad
to learn, will be a first rate one, to all appear
ance. The SMYRNA (Delaware) Times, of a
recent date, says:
cit is now apparent, as the season advances,
that the peach crop has not been injured as
much as was at first anticipated. In some To-
calities the crop has been benefited rather than
injured, by the frosts, for if all the fruit had
remained on the trees and come to perfection,
it must have been inferior, if, indeed, the trees
could have sustained the great weight. This
has been the case in Cecil county, Maryland,
particularly, and in fact, on the most or the
entire of the Eastern Shore. We are inclined
to think that the orchards bordering on the
Delaware river and bay have sustained the
greatest injuries In this section the early va
rieties were severely hurt; in some orchards
nearly all destroyed; but there will be fair
yield of the other varieties, which will no doubt
handsomely remunerate the growers"

THE OVER-HEART.

'sFor Him, and through Him, and to Him
things, to whom be glory for ever"'
Above below, in sky and sod
In leaf and spar, in star and man,
Well might the sage Athenian scan
The geometric signs of God,
The measured order of His plan.
And India's mystics sang Alright
OF the One Life pervading all,
One Beings tidal rise and fall
In soul and form, in sound and sight,
Eternal outflow and recall.
God is: and man in guilt and fear
The central fact of Nature owns;
Kneels trembling, by his altar-stones,
And darkly dreams the CHASTITY smear
Of blood appeases and atones.
Guilt shapes the Terror: deep within
The human heart the secret lies
Of all the hideeus deities;
And, painted on ground of sin,
The tabled gods of Torment rise
And what is Ae? The ripe grain mods,
The sweet dews fall the sweet flowers blow,
But darker signs His presence show:
The earthquake and the storm are Gods,
And good and evil interfow.
Oh, hearts of love Oh, souls that turn
Like sunflowers to the pure and best!
To you the truth is manifest: =.
For they the mind of Christ discern
Who lean like John upon His breast
In Him of whom the Sybil told, tr
For whom the prophets harp was toned,
Whose need the sage and magian owned,
The loving heart of God behold,
The hope for which the ages groaned?
Fade pomp of dreadful imagery
Wherewith mankind have deifed
Their hate and selfishness and pride
Let the sacred dreamer wake to
The Christ of Nazereth at his side!
What doth that holy Guide require =
No rite of pain, nor gift of blood,
-- But, man kindly brotherhood, - -
Looking, where duty is desire,
To Him, the beautiful and good.
Gone be the faithlessncss of fear;
And let the pit; ing heavens sweet rain
Wash out the affairs bloody stain,
The law of Haired disappear,
The law of Love alone remain.
How fall the idols false and grim -
And 10! their hideous wreck above
The emblems of the Lamb and Dove
Man turns from God, not God from him.
And guilt, in suffering, whispers Love!
The world sits at the feet of Christ
Unknowing, blind, ard unconsoled;
1t yet shall touch His garments fold,
And feel the heavenly Alchemst
Transform its very dust to gold.
The theme BETTING angel tongues
Beyond martals scope has grown.
Oh heart of mine with reverence own
The fullness which TO it belongs,
And trust the unknown for the known

Massachusetts, in November, 1856, was:
For Fremont t------------------I -IOo, ,l9O
For Fillmore 10 ,026
Being an absolute majority of forty nine
thousand three hundred and twenty-four in
favor of the Republican party, against the
Democratic and American parties combined
BY the constitution of Massachusetts, nat
uralized citizen cannot vote until two years
after his naturalization, while negroes are al
lowed to vote at any election after they have
resided in the State one year.
1nasmuch as every alien must have been
resident of the United States for the full term
of five years before he can be naturalized,
Massachusetts thus declares that no white man
of European birth-Engl glishman, Welshman,
Scotchman, Irishman, German, Frenchman or
any other-has sense enough to exercise the
right of suffrage until he studies the Constitu-
tuition of the United States for seven years, but
that blubber-lipped negro, who has run away
from the cotton fields of Alabama, and cannot
read one paragraph in the Constitution, nor un-
derstand it when read to him, will become
intelligent citizen, capable of discharging all
the duties of citizenship within the term of
twelve months.
According to the Republican creed, there
fore, negroes learn as much in one year as white
men are able to learn in seven years Gin.

na-G -Gholson, the Republican candidate for
Judge is an able lawyer, but that he is a man
having due respect for the judicial office is i'm
possible Had he duly respected his own
character, set up by his friends approving
Judge Swans decision, he would not have con-
sented to unite with the Reserve in driving
Judge Swan from the bench because he had
the conscientious honesty to give it. Gholson
shows by his eagerness for position that he
would bend before popular clanlor, and trail
the judicial ermine in the dirt, for power: No
ability can excuse his greed of Office WI without
regard to its honorable achievement. The Ju-
dietary should be like Caesars wife, f'not only
pure but unsupported" Gholson, however,

A DIsUNIoNIsr ON THE TRACK.

The Republicans held their county conven-
ton for the appointment ofdelegates to State,
Senatorial, Representative and judicial Con-
ventions, on Saturday, at Union Hall. The
only strife seemed to be on the Judgeship, the
friends of the present incumbent, Judge FITcH,
urging his denomination, and the friends Of
E. T. B4ssETr, urging him slerst1od
that the delegates were divided in that respect.
Toledo Times
The Republicans should, by all means, nom
mate E. p. Bassett, as he is better represen-
tative of the principles of that party than
Judge Fitch. He is traitor and disunionist
"a reviler and contemner of the Constitution
of our country But few years since he de-
clined the appointment from the Governor of
Ohio of the office of Notary Public, alleging, in
letter to the Governor, that his acceptance of
the Office would impose upon him the necessi-
ty of taking an oath to support the Constitution
of the U. s., Which he could not conscientious
ly do, because that instrument recognized and
guaranteed property in slaves. If Bassett OBJ
tains the nomination, we will try to reproduce
the letter referred to, and we will see whether
the people of Lucas county will support for of
fee man who has stiematized the Constitu-
ton as E'Convenant with Death and an agree
ment with He'll. ."-Ndpoleose Northwest.

his wife, five children-the eldest ia young
girl just verging into womanheod- young
man, visiter, took refuge on the roof, when it
broke in pieces. With great difficulty Mr..
Criswell saved himself and three of his children,

terrified by the peril that he had undergone
that it is feared he will remain lunatic.

The BALLOON ASCENSION AT KALAMAZOO,
ILI.-Professer Bannister, father-in- law of the
late ill-fated Thurston, made his long-expected
ascension from that place on Tuesday the 7th
inst, before twenty thousand people. This
balloon, which was built under the supervision
of Mr. Thurston, cost $1,000. 1t is &C feet
in length, 40 feet in diameter, and has capa-
city of $4,000 cubic feet. One thousand feet
of oiled silk were used in its construction
The whole weight, when prepared for its aerial
voyage, is 175 pounds, and when fully inflated
is capable of lifting 1900 pounds, requiring
fifteen thousand feet of gas to initiate it
When starting. two ropes used to secure the
tent in which it had been placed became en-
tangled with balloon, and for moment it
was in most critical condition, but it finally
cleared itself and ascended. The next day a
telegraph from station on the Detroit and
Milwaukee Railroad announced the safe arrival
and descent of Professor Bannister at thatplace

CAMELs ON AN ALABAMA PLANTATION
The Selma (Ala) Sentinel of the 20th ult says:
"The camels purchased by Mr.. Woolsey from
Capt. Maohado last week seem to answer many
useful purposes. The other day, one of the
animals with rider, brought twelve bushels of
shelled corn to town to mill. So one camel
in milling alone, will answer the purposes of a
wagon and two mules and will travel over the
ground four times as quick as the mules
We understand that they have been tried in
plough, and answer the purpose admirably,
being docile and easily managed"

RAT SToRIEs.-Some of the Illinois papers
relate extravagant stories about the depreda-
tions of rats in the corn-felds. The animals
have increased to such an extent, it is said,
that large corn-felds are entirely ruined by
their burrowing in the soil and eating the ker-
nels, even after they have germinated and the
plant obtained some growth. One farmer, near
Pontiac, mixed corn with arsenic, and spread
it in field. The result was a general destruc-
ton of the rats, six wagon-loads of the dead
vermin having been removed-one hundred
and twenty out of one hole! These stories are
rather huge, but are probably partially true
