Tcuch the Women to Save.

There's the secret a saving woman at the
head Of a family is the very best savings bank
yet established-one That receives deposits dai.
ly and hourly, with no costly machinery ia
manage it. The idea of saving is a pleasant
one, aud if the women" would imbibe !,
once, they would cultivate and adhere 10 #
aud thus many when they were not aware Of
II, would be laying the foundation for a com
%pctenee,. security in a stormy time, and shelter
IN q rainy day. The woman who sees TO her
own house has a large field to save in. and the
best way to make her comprehend it is for her
to keep an account of current expenses.
Probably not one wife in ten has an idea how
much are The expenditures of herself or fam;lv
Where from one Or two thousand dollars are
expended annually there is a chance 10 save
something, it the attempt is only made, Let
the housewife take the idea-act npou ;t-a,d
strive over it-aud she viii save MANY dollars
perhaps hundreds-where before she thonrh,
it impossible. This is n du,y--aoi a prom,,,
lng OF avarice-a moral obligation that rests
upon al!--upon " the women us vel, as The
men; but it is a duty. we are sorry ia say
that is cultivated very lutte, even among those
who preach the most, and regard themselves Nc
examples in most matters. "Teach the wo.
men to save" is a COED enough maxim Ia be
inserted in the next edition Of" Poor Richard,s
Almanac (Excbauge.

with Instructions TO pursue the satanic idea OF
bntchering and deSoiatihg the whole South.
II IS enough to make one shudder to think Of
the horrible duings of these bloodtbirsiy Abo5
lilinnists.
VIII our Government not attempt to pnh-
ISL these perpetrators Of ~treason-1hcse muir
derers who are walking in cur very midst!
We wonld advise the summary punishment Of
every Abolition preacher in the land. The
orly, way to get rid Of the great cause OF ~
litionism. is To hang The whole batch OF A
lition poIitico-religions wurshipIcrs.
Every Abolition editor, every Abolition
preacher, and every one who aids the the
Aboiitionists in their treaclereus. evil designs,
are responsible and should be punished for
their treachery. The Abolition Republican,
presses of the whole country are valnly rn.
deayoring to escape the stigma which .s
enormiiies of this plot of iniamy has thrown
upon them. Some of them endeavor TO escape
the odlum by ridicule, and Others by attempt,
ing to palliaie The rlormities which have re
suited from Their yil.ainous teaching. aud en-
enlargement given to the bloody doings o
their f%anatical friends. 1t is in vain for the
negro-worshippiHg demoniacal crew to attempt
to escape the responsibility. Important facts
have been disclosed already, sufficient to faster
guilt on many of the leading Abolitionists O.
the land. So positive and convincing are the
facts ELECTED in the atrocities of Brown, of the
guilt of men in high positions, that they and
all their Abolition Republican organs, are
writhing under the disclosures of this diaboli
cal and bloody instruction. [Alleghany

DEBATE on THE CUBA BILL

The correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune gives the following animated and inter
esting description of the fierce debate Oh the
Cuba Bill in the United States Senate last
week It is interesting enough in the man
ner in which it exhibits the tone of Southern
Democrats 10 Northern men, and the way
such insolence is sometimes repelled, to de
serve preservation. Fifty years hence, such
a picture OF the manners OF the Senate. and
especiallv of the two sections OF the L nion
represented in it. viii be worth more than
forty volumes of stately history. The inso-
lence OF discourtesy and bullying Of South
ern men are well known: but a full appreci-
alton Of Il ose qualities is only gained by see
ing them or seeing such descri ption Of
them as this:
The d bate on the relative merits OF the
two measures, intermingled with questions
OF order, now became general. Trumball
struck the admirable point. that il was wiser
to take up and pass bill, that disposed OF
a. portion Of the surplus land we now hal
than TO waste time on one which proposed to
buv more Seward pronounced the Cuban
foray mere partizs scheme, whose friends
knew it could not by any possibility pass the
Lower House, while the Homestead Bill
could become law by the action o. The Sen
ate, in ten minutes. He briefly contrasted
the two oIicies--one to enlarge the DOR ain
OF III. Slave power, aud restore and maintain
the supremacy Of compulsory labo< in the
r,pics-thc other 10 give land to the land
les. and furnish homes 70 free laborers in
our own country. He sas en- pha;ic. but en-
tirely parliamentary and respectful in tone
and language.
