C1vILIzING UNDER DrFFICULTIEs.-A South
ern gentleman recently related an anecdote
which would indicate that some of the newly
imported Africans may require more efficient
instruments for their training and civilization
than have usually been relied on for imbuing
our southern born negroes with the virtues Of
activity and fidelity. A planter ordered two
ofthese sons ofthe East, who are uncorrupted
BY the strange aboltionism which pervades
some of the plantations. As they entered
the yard, bloodhound, one of the instruc-
tors and police of the establishment, regard
ing them as intruders, leaped upon one of
them. The fellow was large, muscular
negro, and belonged to tribe who sharpened
their teeth. Nothing daunted by the attack,
he entered upon the contest with the greatest
zeal. So successfully did he use his fists and
heels and pointed teeth, that the fierce dog
was obliged TO cry for mercy. The animal
even skunk away under building, but the
negro crept in after him, dragged him out,
and would have killed him had he not been
stopped. The astonished planter looked upon
his pounded and manned blood hound, and
then upon the triumphant African, reflected
moment, and gave orders for his new couple
to be marched away from his premises forth.
with. He dare not trust the civlizing influ.
ences which he had at his disposal.

A TEXAS PREAcHER.--The editor of the Co.
lad Messenger has made journey to Laveca,
lately, and gives the following good.natured
and graphic description of worthy preacher
whose acquaintance he happened to make
there:
Mr.. Cottingham, like DR.. Watts, is small in
stature, but great in soul. Full of zeal and
activity, he never fails to make his marl,
wherever ne goes. He is popular and useful
preacher; but his great forte is "begginp. .
In that line he has few, if any, EQUALS in the
Texas Conference. If money is required to
build up school or church, or any other be
nevolent enterprise, get Cottingham elisted
and contrary to the expectations of many, sue.
cess crowns his efforts. His Maker made him
talker, and when he gets after man for o
subscription or donation, nine cases out of ten
it has to come, if for no other reason than tc
get rid Of the beggar. AS is usually the case
with little men, he is q "privileged character
allowed to say pretty much what he pleases
about either himself, his wife and children
dogs and horses, or other talk. He has the
best wife that was ever brought up in Arkan-
sas; the best boy, and the most mus,onoish
baby; the most noted buggy-horse, and the
best pony; some Of the finest hogs, and the
most remarkable dogs in the State of Texas.
AS has been pertinenty said, he is " a,ustuu, Il,
paruo," and has begged to the amount Of
$4,000 to build church in his station.

DuellIng fin California.

The following clause was adopted by the
people, November 1S, 1s49, in the Constitution
OF the State of California, the State being ad.
mited in 1850. Article II, section 2, is as
follows:
"Any citizen Of this State who shall, after
the adoption of this Constitution, fight duel

challenge to fight duel with deadly weapons,
either within this State, or out of it,-or who

tion." " -N
This article in the Constitution was inserted
at the instance of Hon. VIM: M. Gwin, now

then member Of the Convention at Monterey,
Wnere the constitution was framed in lS49.

A Great and Glorious COun try,

Thefollowing is literal transcription from
letter found on the road, and sent us by a
correspondent, who assures us it is genuine
and no mistake. 1t appears to be- from some
chap who has moved to Mississippi. He
says:
This is a glorious countryl It has longer
rivers, and more of them, and they are mud
dier, and deeper, and run faster, make more
noise, rise higher, fall lower, and do more
damage than anybody else's rivers. It has
more lakes, and they are bigger, and deeper,
and clearer, than those OF any other coun-
try. Our rail cars are bigger, and run faster,
and pitch off the track oftener, and kill more
people than all other rail cars in this and
every other country. Our steamboats, carry
bigger loads, are longer and broader, and bust
their bilers oftener, and the Captains swear
harder than steamboat Captains in any other
country. Our men are bigger, and longer,
and thicker, can fight harder, and faster,
and drink more mean whisky, and chew
more bad tobacco, and not be killed, can spit
more and spit further than in any other coun-
try. Our ladies are richer, prettier, dress
finer, spend more money, break more hearts,
wear bigger hoops, shorter dresses, and kick
up the devil generally to greater extent
than all other ladies in all other countries.
Our niggers are blacker, work harder, have
thicker skulls, smell louder, and need thrash
ing oftener than any niggers in any other
State. Our children squall louder, grow
faster, get too extensive for their pantaioons
quicker than any other children in any other
country.
Well, this is a great countryl Hang man
that won't praise his own country. I have
written you all the news that Is in this
country.
Yours, till death, ANDY SKINNER.

PERsoNAL.--A pretty serious difficulty seems
to be raging between the Hon. Alex. P. Wal
ker, formerly editor of the Cincinnati ENQUIRER,
and now editor of the New Orleans Della, and
Mr.; John P. Heiss, formerly proprietor Of the
Delta, and now of the States, the Douglas organ
in Washington. Mr.. Heiss says that while he
was proprietor Of the Della he dismissed Wal
ker, because he "detected him in selling the
columns Of our paper to advance tho private
interests of other parties for consideration
which he put in his own pocket" He also
caught Mr.. Walker, as he says, writing for an
other journal on the other side in politics. Mr..
Walker responds with denial, and with a
clever vituperation of Heiss, who, he says owes
all his successes to "the size..of his.ist, the
depth of his chest, the muscle Of his arms, the
taurine Drawn of his neck, and the prodigious
circumference of his head" In the further
course Of the controversy, charges of forgery,
perjury, and swindling are pretty freely ex-
changed. That's all at present.

EMPLOYMENT OF CAMELs IN THE UNITED
STATES SERvICE.-A letter has recently been
received by the Secretary of War from Su-
perintendent Beale, dated Fort TETON Cali
fornia, in which the writer speaks in the
strongest terms of the great advantage to be
derived from the employment of camels in
the public service in the West. He states
that he lately tried effectually ths compare
tive use of mules and camels as pack animals,
and the experiment proved beyond all ques-
ton the great superiority of the camel, both
den. From what he had read, he dreaded
the difficulties which seemed to present
themselves in breeding them; but bis expe-
rience had satisfied him that they were as
easily bred as cows and calves. He prefers
them, fora all such purposes that he has en-
gagged them on, TO three times the same num-
ber Of horses and mules Washington Star.

A Swiss Capitalist and Miser.

A foreign correspondent of the New York
Journat Of Commerce relates the following his
tory of Swiss manufacturer:
Switzerland is very industrious country.
Among her principal articles of manufacture
are silk and cotton. Lew wages and an mex
haustible abundance Of water power give to
her large manufacturing establishments advan-
tages over many other countries which mako
competition easy. Many Of the proprietors Of
these establishments have amassed fabulous
riches, unknown to the world, and in some in
stances, to themselves. Last week one of these
Swiss cotton lords Of the last named category
died. His name was Kuoz; but he was gem
orally known by the name Of "Spinner King"
his large cotton mill is situated in the village
OF lister, q short distance from Zurich. He
was self-made man, q man without any edu-
cation, and without any prominent talents.
HIS principal qualities were horrible ayarice,
an iron industry, and the art of extorting from
mis- iaborers as much work for as little pay as
possible. He was sixty-eight years Of age,
when he died an old bachelor. He never en-
joyed any Of the pleasures of life.
A low, small, dirty room, with an old bed
stead, and no other furniture, was his resi-
dence. Attached to il was q kitchen. where
meals, which he used to devour standing in
order to save time. He never gave any aims
or any support to poor people. "Nonsense (!
Good for nothingl Let them save and work."
was his sterotyped reply in such cases. He
did not pay taxes on more than $1OO, 900 until
two years ago he was compelled to raise his
assessments to $1,2OO,OOO. He never kept any
regular books, never stock book, never took
an inventory. About twelve years ago ho was
persuaded by business friends to got an inven-
tory taken; but when that inventory, long
before it was finished, already showed net
property of 2O,OOO,OOO of Zurich guilders, or
100000 free Of all debts, he stopped the
continuation Of it with his usual words-"Non-
sense Good for nothingp' True to his prin-
ciples, that medern Crnsus has bequeathed
nothing to his laborers, nothing to benevolent
or useful institutions, and his laughing heirs
will divide among them the whole Of this enor-
nous property, the amount of which will be
made out very soon by the courts.
