The Southern Programme to Sever
the Union.

The special correspondent of the New
York Herald, who is in the confidence of the
Administration, and of influential men of
Southern proclivities generally, writes the
following interesting account of the propo-
sitions and threats of the extreme fire
eating slavery representatives
WASHINGTON, Dec. IL understand that
the following programme has been substan.
TALLY agreed upon by number of leading
Southern men, in Congress and out of Con-
gress, to wit:
First That in view of the Harper
Ferry abolition invasion, and its extensive
and alarming ramifications and in view of
the sympathies of the aboltionized republic
can party for Old Brown, and of the threats
Of that party to reduce the South to sub.
MISSION, special law shall be demanded of
Congress for the future protection and
security of the Southern States against all
abolition conspirators, emissaries and lncen-
diaries.
Second, That in default of some such
Congressional protection, the Southern
members of both Houses shall withdraw
from Washington, and meet in body in
Richmond, Virginia, or some other conven-
lent place, in view of the initial steps for an
independent Southern Confederacy.
In anticipation of this alternative, am
further advised that this Southern Congress.
sional meeting, in Richmond or elsewhere,
will proceed to put the South in a proper
position before the great Western Powers
of Europe, including programme of COM
mercial treaties on purely Southern basis,
that can hardly fail to attract the sympathies
of even England for Southern cotton, inclu-
ding Southern slavery. s - 80 s,i.: Ill
If Southern demand for Congressional
protection of the institution of slavery shall
be made-and it will be made-and if this
protection shall be refused, as it will be
refused by the antislavery Northern major
ity of the House, then we may witness
before the close of the session of Congress,
the opening of the last chapter of the great
american Union.

A Question of Internal Concerns.
From the Louisville 10 urnal

From the Louisville 10 urnal
Our good friend of the Richmond Whig
cordially approves the idea of A." the form
atom of voluntary associations throughout
Virginia and the South, bound together by
common pledge amoug themselves neither
to eat, drink, wear, buy or use any articles
whatsoever manufactured at or imported
from the North" All this may be very
well, to touch the pocket of the North, but
how are we to protect the Southern heart
against the fascinating bellies of Boston,
New York, and Philadelphia?
The girls who give the South.
What gold could never buy.
There is no need of forming any other
voluntary associations than those i'm
posed by the marriage service. True, our
fathers in the revolution made and carried
out a similar pledge in regard to importa-
lions from the mother country, but they
never made the importation of the
mothers of the country contraband. We
propose war of retaliation. If the North
will interfere with our Southern domestic
relations, let our young men go forth and
rob the Northern homes of their most
cherished ornaments and bring them back
to found more patriarchal relations among
US. Let us conquer prejudice by the potent
aid of love- and bring willing captives to
our arms. The idea of not eating New Eng
land salmon next spring, or of refusing an
ice scrop from Chicago when the dog star
RACES the bare thought of having Indiana
grouse, or Maine supply of potatoes, inter-
dicted to US, of being compelled to read of
New York oysters or Pittsburg ale, and be
in the tantalising condition of not enjoying
Them the terrible calamity involved in
giving up the Newark cider sold for cham
payne, or the rectifed whisky of Cincinnati
dragged for Otard brandy; the shivering
sensation produced by the very thought of
refusing to be supplied with Pennsylvania
coal this winter, by Kellogg & Co., because
it is mined by underground railroad the
setting our obdurate appetites against the
produce of Hoosier pigeon roosts, teal or
blue wing, because they fly from the North;
all these are overwhelming. We are patri-
otto enough as the world wags, but we
cannot surrender our gastronomic liberty.
Caesar had his Brutus, Charles | his Crom-
well, and voluntary association to neither
drink nor eat Northern good things has its
Louisville Journal; if that is treason, make
the most of it, Our friend of the Rich
mond Wing will forgive US, if, after having
stood politically shoulder to shoulder for
years, we now part stomach to stomach on
this question of 'internal improvements"
1t is hard to sunder old ties, and our very
bowels will yearn to be united, but then
stamochic bitters give an appetite and pro-
mote digestion, and so we drain the bitter
cup to the dregs.

NEW SERIES-NO. POS.


An experiment which has just taken
place in one of the Paris hospitals, appears
to establish conclusively that lockjaw can
be cured by meaus of curare poison. A
young man, twenty four years Of age, having
had one of his toes carried off by a shot
from musket-considerabl injury having
been inflicted on the adjoining ones by the
projectile-was seized with the lockjaw four
days after the accident. DR.. Chassignac,
(who supplies this account of the case,) was
called in when the patient was already far
gone. A potion consisting of one hundred
and sixty grammes of tea with ten cent?
grammes of curare was administered in a
dose of one table spoonful per hour; at the
same time the wound, which was much
jagged, and emitting fetid pus, was moist
ened with solution of twenty centigrammes
-four grains) of curare in two hundred
grammes of distilled water. Bottles of
warm water were put in the patients bed.
The first spoonful of the potion produced
some effect at the end of an hour, and as
the treatment went on, so did the state of
the patient improve. The solution of curare
used for the local application was gradually
strengthened to thirty, and at length to
forty centigrammes of the poison; its pro-
portion in the potion was also increased to
sixteen, and then to twenty five cent?
grammes. At the end of six days the
patient was out of danger.

The Wizard Ice Boat.

1t is not, and we suppose never has been,
says the Prairie du Chen Leader, the inten-
ton of Mr.. WIZARD to test the practicability
of his invention with the boat half built
last winter, which remains an statu quo at
the machine shop of the Railroad Company,
at Prairie du Chen. 1t seems that it is
too large, heavy and unwielly for the exper-
iment. We should think, says the same
paper, it might be converted into a fret ght-
barge, which the ice boat proper could tow
Tor rather slide) up and down the river.
Speaking of the same, the Leader gives
some particulars concerning his new boat,
a few of which we copy E:
Norman Wizard, inventor of the Ice Boat
will be in Prairie du Chen before long,

John Brown.
MURDERS COMMITTED BY BROWN BEFORE
HIS TWO SONS WERE KILLED.

Persistent efforts have been made to show
that Brown was driven into the desperate
and bloody career which marked the last
three years of his residence in Kansas, in
consequence of the murder of two of his
sons by the proslavery party. Affidavits
taken in June, 1856, have been published
proving that he was the aggressor in the
work of slaughter. Louisa Jane Wilkin-
son, widow Of the late Allen Wilkinson, a
member of the Kansas Legislature, deposed
that between midnight and daylight, May
"a, 1856, party came to the house, and in
the name of the d" Northern army" took
her husband out and shot him. Not having
known Brown, she was not able to state
of her own knowledge that he was one
of the party, but the description she gave
of the leader corresponded with his appear
ance in every respect. On the same night,
William Sherman was taken out of the
house of james Harris, and murdered by
Captain John Brown and party, styling
themselves the " Northern army" At the
time they took Sherman out, they took
some property from the house. Harris, in
his deposition, calls Brown by name, identi-
tying him with certainty.
The deposition of Mahala Doyle, widow,
disclosed more extensive butchery. The
party came to her husbands house about
eleven o'clock on the night of the oath, and
inquired where MIR. Wilkinson lived. Her
husband, VIM. P. Doyle, got up to tell
them. They then told Doyle and his two
sons, William and Drury, that they must
surrender. Within fifteen minutes they
were all three killed in the road near the
house. William was twenty-five years of
age, and Drury twenty. John, seventeen
years Of age, was spared at the earnest en-
treaties of his mother. In his deposition,
John gave description of the leader, fully
answering to Brown. Allthese dispositions
were taken within a month of the occur
rences testified to by the survivors. Here
we have the murder of five persons, who, up
to the time of their seizure, had been living
in peace on the land they had settled. To
meet this evidence, John Brown, one of
Browns surviving sons, has put forth his
assertion that bis father was not in Frank
lin county in May, 1856. But the newspa-
pers of that day show that he was then in
that part oil Kansas, at the head of an armed
party, which was spoken of by the pro-
slavery party as band of freebooters, and
by the free State men as an organization got
up for the defence of Kansas and freedom.
From the first, that nights bloody work
took the name of the "Pottowatomie Greek
Massa ere" boston Courier.

with twenty passenger Steam Ice Boat,
which he has now in process of construction
at New York, and hopes by such means to
keep open communication with st. Paul
and Prairie du Chen, connecting ALWAYS up
to time, with the Milwaukee and Mississippi
Railroad.
He will also be prepared with pioneer
machine to level track, when it is necessa-
ry, where the ice is rough. His twenty
passenger boat can be raised or lowered,
while in motion or at rest, to enable it to
pass through uniform depth of snow of
three feet. Even if it should be run into
a bank of snow twenty feet in depth and
there stopped, it can Immediately be passed
through or over it, or be backed out with
the greatest facility.
We are also informed by MIR. Wizard, that
the Steam Ice Boat is modified to Steam
Cutter for common roads, on the snow or for
the ice; small, two passenger cutter,
easily managed, cheap and beautiful. Also
steam stage sleigh for common roads over
the prairies, for ten passengers Also a
steam pleasure sleigh or chariotl And
this is the last) an open sleigh ice boat for
ten passengers.
Mr.. John Cleveland, IS Wall street, New
York, is now the trustee of the patent, and
by the liberal subscription of few intelli-
gent and responsible gentleman of that city,
Mr.. Wizard is enabled to fully develop and
test his plans. The machine he is now
building is said to be beautiful as we'll as
useful and it seems likely to attract
number of New Workers to visit Prairie
du Chem, when Mr.. Wizard brings it here.

VoLTA1RE says: "The world abounds
in wonders, and also with victims. In man
is more wretchedness than in all other ami
mails put together" How did he Judge of
it? By his own heart. He adds: Man
loves life, yet he knows be must die, spends
his existence in diffusing miseries be has
suffered cutting the threats of his fellow
creatures for pay-cheating and being
cheated. The bulk of mankind" he con-
tinues, are nothing more than crowd of
wretches, equally criminal, equally unfor-
tunate. wish 1 had never beer born"
Hear what st. Paul says 81 have fought
good fight: | have finished my course

laid up for me a crown of Righteousness,
which the Lord, the righteous judge, will
give me at that day."

The New York Express notices the
spontaniety with which the Aagstaffs about
the city--not oily those belonging to the
public buildings, but those attached to pri-
vate estabishments-ha their colors hoist
ed at half-mast on Tuesday, as soon as the
death of WASHINGTON IRVING was an
nOunced, and thinks it indicates that there
is yet chord in the hearts of the people
that, even in the midst of an absorbing
political excitement, can vibrate to tender
emotions and recollections.
