Specie Going--Goods and Flour
Gamma


Those who have been felicitating themselves
that war in Europe would prove of immense
profit to this country in the demand for our
breadstufs and provisions abroad, and have
hailed the speculative rise in -four, &c, as con-
elusive evidence of this result, may as well get
down from their high horse first as last. The
fact is, that instead ~ofsup3lying the belligerent
nations with breadstuffs, they are supplying us
from their cheap overplus, and we have now
the singular fact of French Flour of the finest
description being sold in the markets of the
Eastern cities, and below the price of our best
Westernl Manufactured goods are flowing up
on us 50 rapidly that all the gold supplies from
California will not pay the drafts for specie
In the last eight weeks, no less than eighteen
millions of dollars in specie have been drawn
from New York to pay European balances
The depletion is going on at the rate of about
three millions a week, and New York papers
state that the Persia alone took out over three
millions of the Likelihood of trade. Gold, in
stead of breadstufs, pays for the constant influx
of our impertations from France and England
of articles we could and should manufacture
ourselves, and gold must be withdrawn from
banks and general circulation to meet this de-
mand. Tightness of the money market will in
due time follow. VIII nothing open the ewes
of the American people to the necessity of SO
protecting American manufacturers and indus
try, that we can make at home what we now
import?

Slave M

A deed of manumission, executed by Jacob
Coffman, of East Baton Rouge La, on behalf
of the children of a young mulatto woman, was
presented for record in Room No. / of the Su-
perior Court. Mr.. Gitchell presented the APP
p~lication to the Court.
Judge Storer-Does the deed not include
the mother?
The mother here replied that she did not de-
sire her freedom at the. present that she owed
her master three hundred dollars yet, and would
return and remain in his service, as heretofore,
until that was paid.
Judge Storer-Very upright and honest.
Such conduct is deserving of encouragement.
The Judge then directed the children to be
brought before him, and remarked that some Of
them were certainly white.
One little girl, Adeline, three years of age,
had long, light hair, which flowed in handsome
ringlets around her fair little neck, while her
cheeks had a fair and delicate hue.
Judge Storer-Just think ofthat child being
a slave! A child as white as three-foruths Of
the people in this city!
Two little girls, one younger than this child
and one older, were also very fair. The eldest,
a boy ten years of age, was rather of a darker
complexion but had brown hair, and little re-
semblance to the negro.
1t is stated that the owner bought the moth
er and the two eldest children in 1852 for 81,
$50.
The certificates of emancipation, were made
for the children, and they were declared legally
emancipatcd and set free.-Cin- Press.

parties Of Mormons associated together in a
military capacity in the mountains surrounding
Salt Lake Valley.
The Valley Ton complains that this procla-

the territory now, as before the advent of the
army.
The overland mail, which arrived last night
brings tidings that eight white men, while
prospecting for silver near Honey Lake, had
been killed by the Indians.
The house of Col. Stephe nson's was burnt

The mississippi Flood of 1855.

The effects Of the great Spring inundation
in louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas are dis
astrcus II the extreme. A correspondent Of
the n. Z. Crescent has picked up some Stats.
tics on the subject from actual inspection. In
a letter from Vicksbur@, May, 18th, he particu.
larizes a number of the plantations still under
water, making an aggregate Of over $4,000
acres of the finest cotton lands, on which scarce
y a bale will be made the present year. The
whole of Warren county, lying above Vicks-
burg, and between the bluffs and river, is sub
merged. Not an acre of dry land is to be seen
in the bottom. The entire valley of the Yazoo
river is under water, not an acre having been
in sight since the middle of March. The fa-
nous Deer Greek bottoms, noted for their pro-
ductiveness, are overfowed for a distance of
sixty miles. The loss of crops and damage to
planters is immense. The plantation of Sena-
tor Douglas is among the inundated.

LAND S~FEcrLATIoNs AT THE WEsT.-A ma

in st. Louis. No, for ST 500. To-day, il hav.

Leavenworth which sold in 1855 for So, 900 or
$4,000 is now worth $4,000. The same is
the case in ST. Joseph. Kansas city, Lawrence.
and a few other prominent points. Men in
these places have become wealthy, not from
any superior sagaeity, but from having invest
ed a little money in the early history of the
Territory. In 1856, an Ohio gentleman paid
500 per acre for a tract of land adjoining
Leavenworth, and within six months got an adj
vance of 81 900 per acre. But a change has
taken place. In 1858, papercities sprang up in
great abundance. Shares in them sold readily
at from $500 to 81 800. In one of them a lot
90 by $50 sold for 81 900. They would not
any of them now bring $40 per lot. A great
deal of Eastern capital was sunk in these en-
cltlee.

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Care


BAGTrsaRE, June 6.
The dead body Of a female. well dressed, was
picked up in the Bay, near Fort Hamilton,
yesterday. From appearances, it was evident
that she had met her death by violence. The
case is surrounded with mystery, and a ~coroneris
investigation may lead to the revelation of a
horrible crime.
Great excitement exists at Port Morris,
Westchegter county, n. York, in consequence
of the discovery of the remains of seven hui
man bodies, closely packed in a pine box,
which was found floating near Hell-Gate, on
Thursday. They were these of two white men,
two white women, a child about ten years old
an infant and a negro man. The head of one
of the women had been cut of, and lay at her
feet. The body of one of the white men,
which was of large sizse, measuring six feet four
inches in height, and weighing some two hun
dred pounds, had been stabbed in three places
near the heart. On the clothing of the infant
were the initials &C. NJ" The clothes of both
the children were of superior quality. Lime
had been sprinkled over the bodies, and the ia
| ces were much disfigured by it. DR., Freeman,
of West Farms, who examined the remains,
gave the opinion that life had not been extinct
for more than seventy hours The jury return
ed a verdict of death by some cause or causes

State high Is.

The N. Y. Post in treating of Federal Ju-
dicial encrosctsnents, says:
By the course of events, the new and remote
State of Wisconsin has become the hag-bearer
in the great struggle for the restoration of con-
stitutional liberty and the rights of the States.
1t is the first of the States to put into practi-
cal exercise, by all departments of its govern
naent, the inherent right of a State to protect
Its citizens and their property against uneon-
.~stitutional usurpations by the federal Govern
ment. The State has uobly assumed the pre-
negative of knowing its rights and daring to
maintain them against the encroachments of
each and every branch of the federal govern
ment-Congress, President and Judges. This
position is taken deliberately with reiterated
purpose, concurred in by the executive, legisla-
tive and Judiciary departments, and ratified
over and over again by the people at the polls.
Its representatives in both houses of Congress
are all chosen on the same basis, and its vote
in the Presidential election viii undoubtedly he
cast on the same principle The question
which Wisconsin has put in issue bids fair to
be tried out to an end; and if Wisconsin is
right, and will persevere, there can be no doubt
as to the final result, because the right is sure
to prevail, if not deserted by its friends.
AT the recent Republican festival in Boston,
commemorative of Jeferson's birthday, a
speech was made by Carl Schurtz, of Milvau-
kee, who came, as he said, with the smoke and
dust of the battle still on him, from the last
election in that State, when this great question
was distinctly put in issue by both parties. and
the lines were clearly drawn, and the people,
by an overwhelming majority, declared that
they will hold the federal government strictly
within the powers delegated to it by the con-
s~titution. He said
Let me tell you what the meaning Of our
recent victory is. The people of Wisconsin
mean to stand by the constitution; but by the
constitution as the great hulwark of human
liberty, and as a safeguard of state rights
The meaning of that victory is, that under the
laws of that State, administered by upright
judges, in the language of Jefferson, every man
shall be protected against every exercise of un-
constitutional power. 1t means that the hdbe-
as corpus shah secure every man against every
thing which is not law, whatever shape it shall
assume. 1t means further that the trial by Jury
an all questions touching life and liberty shall
be vouchsafed to every man, woman or child,
white or black, alien or native, anything in
the fugitive slave act or any other usurpation
OF constitutional powers, to the contrary not
Eithstanding-"

We publish to-day an account of a trial for
breach of promise of marriage at ST. Louis
which is curious from the fact of the unprece-
dentedly large damages which the jury award
cd 10 the lady to heal the wounds inflicted by
the faithlessuess Of the defendant. The lady
is a Miss Fife Carstang. a native of this city,
and the defendant Mr.. Henry Shaw, of st.
Louisa gentleman counting sixty-fve years,
and said to be possessed of a million and a
half of dollars. The lady laid the loss of her
peace, and her prospects of sharing a portion
of the million and a half. at the sum of a hun
drcd thousand dollars. and the jury brought
in a verdict m her favor for the entire amount.
In view of the immense wealth of the defend
ant, and other circumstances of the case, this
was no doubt a very righteous verdict. But
it establishes a dangerous precedent. 1t offers
a hundred thousand irresistible temptations to
young ladies to bring suits for breach of prom
Use against rich men and we would not be

INTEREsrIEG TO THE BEARpED-A writer
in the Boston Post has the following commu-
~nication ;
l have seen it stated somewhere that there
is an intimate connection between the nerves
and muscles of the face and eyes, and allowing
the beard to grow strengthens the eye. 1t is
said that surgeons in the French army have
proved by experiment in Africa that soldiers
wearing the beard are much less liable to dis
ease of the eye, and it is generally conceded
that ii is a protection from disease of the
throat and lungs, 1t is asserted that in coun-
tries where it is custom to wear the beard, the
eye retains its lustre and brilliancy much long
er. 1t may be argued that females do not suf
fer more than males from disease of the eve,
&c, but it must be admitted they are much
less exposed to the elements. What did the
Creator give the lords of creation a beard for ?
Certainly not to support BARRIERS. There is
Just as much sense in shaving the head as the
chin.

state of affairs is pleasant for those wishing to
