Black Brothers.

| Mr. Douglas has again been airing his Squat
ter-Sovereirnty notions Last Wednesday he
spoke many hours in the Senate, on an amend
mcnt, offered by Mr.. Hale to an appropriation
bill, repeating the restrictive clause in the Kan
sas act 1t was one of his stump speeches
adapted to the occasion. In the course of its
delivery, Mr.. Bigler, who labors under the mis-
taken notion that he is Buchanan's right-hand
man, and q very smart right-hand man too, in
propounding some question to this Squatter-Sov-
ereign, was unfortunate enough to speak of
black men as citizens. This was 50 repulsive an
idea to s. A. Douglas, formerly-not now,
thank Heaven--from Vermont, that he made
haste to rebuke the Pennsylvania Senator on
the spot.
" Mr. Douglas said there are no colored cti-
zens, and he trusted God there never would be.
He did not recognize the black brothers.
Mr.. Bigler know that as well as the Senator,
and should have said inhabitants. "
Mr.. Bigler got away as soon as he could from
the wrath of tho man who /" trusted in God
there never would be" such thing as q &C col
ored citizen" and no doubt went to meditating
on the subject of specific duties.
We have serious doubts, however, whether
Mr.. Douglas meant exactly what he said. We
don't think that be makes this matter of ''col-
ored citizens matter of trust in God, or
prayer. We think he prefers human agencies,
and Democratic agents who have never been
suspected of going to the wcrd of God for their
humanity or their party creed, to any mere re
ligions faith.
Mr.. Douglas is evidently thankful, or tries
to be, that he is not like other men, especially
his black brother but our impression is that
wicked old Pharisce good many years ago
made similar prayer, and although we are
not entirely certain about it, yet we have but
very little doubt that he was elsewhere men
toned as inquiring for water to cool his burn
ing tongue. Perhaps Mr.. D. had batter be wise
in time.

Senator Thompson on Cuba.

Senator Thompson, of Kentucky, made II
speech the other day, on the Cuba question,
which is as full of good things as m egg is of
meat. 1t is rcpete with truths. some Of them
notparticularly aattering to the vanity of Young
Ameriea-and sparkles all through with the
most pungent wit, and the livelicst humor. 1t
is direct and straightforward throughout, and
the sense is nowhere hidden under mass of
hish'Founding yerbiage. Mr.. Thompson belongs
to no active political organization, and his speech
Is entitled to greater wei hit as it cannot justly
be charged with being partisan in its character

I'll Tell You What to Do.
Dear Fred--that is, if you'll allow
Me to call you So
/ think can appreciate
And understand your woe;
Pve read your grievance and your want,
And think you will not rue,
If you will let meas friend
Advise you what to do.
Don't list to all the fretful tales
Some married folks will tell,
Nor strive from hosts Of lovers
To bear!away belle;
But find quiet, modest girl,
Gentle-yet merry, too;
And if your hearts in its right place,
Twill tell you what to do.
Don't seek her at theatre,
At concert or ball,
And don't be too particular
If she be short or tall;
Beauty at best, is but "skin deep;"
Seek one who will be true,
And love her with your heart and soul,
And tell her that you do.
And when you've proved that she deserves
The love that you'll bestow,
Don't 'shlll.I, shall-I, ought-l to-"
But to the altar go.
Believe, conide, have faith in her,
And then she'll trust in you,
And in your hour of trial she
Will tell you what to do.
Let no suspicious haunt your mind,
Nor jealousy disturb,
And when you are to wrath inclined,
Your anger try to curb,
If she be-as 1 think she will
Right-minded, just, and true,
You neer will have necessity
To tell her what to do.
No longer yield to doubts and fears,
Nor dire rheumatic pain
Remember time is feeting fast,
And your charms are on the wane.
Seek out this girl without delay,
And then proceed to WOO,
Begin at once; F; come-haste away!
Let me advise you-do! CLARA.

The Army Register for 1859 has just made Its
appearance. We find that our present force of
regular soldiers consists of nineteen regiments,
all told, as follows: Ten regiments of infantry,
averaging ten companies of seventy men each !;
four Of artillery, averaging twelve companies of
about fifty men each; one Of mounted rihemen,
two Of cavalry, and two of dragons, each ofth
latter numbering ten companies Of about sixty
men. 1t would be difficult to arrive at correct
estimate Of the actual fighting material at the
disposal of the War Department, but We presume
the entire strength of our army is little over or

MURDER AND BANK ROBBERY AT JACKSON,
TRNHRssRR-Th Memphis Bulletin of Saturday
last says
"Intormation was received in this city last
evening, by telegraph, of horrible murder
committed at jackson, Tenn, on Thursday
night, connected with which was the robbery OF
the branch Union Bank at that place. The facts
go far as ascertained are that the room OF the
clerk of the Bank, Mr.. Geo. Z. Miller, adjoining
the bank bnilding, was entered during the night
and Mr. Miller murdered by means OF hammer
with which his head was mutilated in most
horrid manner, and the brains of the unfortunate
man scattered over the floor. The keys OF the
vaults were under Mr. Miller's pillow, from
whence they were taken, the bank vaults robbed
and then returned again to their proper place.
The party or parties to whom this double crime
is chargeable remain in entire mystery, and as
vet not even suspicion has fallen on any one.-
The murder was not discovered until noon yes
terday, when the unusual circumstances OF the
bank remaining closed to so late an hour aroused
suspicion that all was not right within, and led
to the discovery Of the horrible tragedy. The
amount of money stolen is supposed to be small
Mr.. Mcknight, the cashier, having left jackson
on the day previous for this city with all the
bills of the institution in his possession, leaving
only limited amount of specie in its vaults, the
exact amount missing of which is at present IN
known. Mr.. Miller was worthy and estiniable
young man, son of Mr. Charles P. Miller, OF
Ripley, Miss, and distant relative, we learn,
of W. Miller, Esq., of this city.

TAKING THE NAMES OF PASSENGERS ON THE T.
RTE RA1LRoAD.-By recent edict OF the Presi'
dent of the New York and Erie Railroad, the
conductors are required to ascertain the names
of all the passengers, and make register OF
them in book provided for that purpose, The
absurdity of the requirement was apty lllustra'
ted the other day on the Elmira and Watkins
branch of the road. The conductor, coming up
to passenger, demanded his name. jackson,
was the reply. To the next be put the same In
terrogatory, and was promptly answered, "Ohas;
Moran" The third gave his name as "Headley,
but tho fourth, not quite so accommodating OF
supposing there was some unnecessary use OF ms
name, replied, "None of your business" The
conductor put the answers all down; the last
one was as near correct as the three preceding
though there was kind of ofbiiterness in the tone
in which it was uttered. In this way it goes
scarcely passenger giving his right name tc
the conductor. The names thus collected, how
ever, are sent on to-. headquarters with regular
ity and dispatch, and President Moran, it is said
hes begun to think that he and his brother Off
GERS have great many namesakes travelling o
yer the road lately, as scarcely list is present
