Governor s., of South Carolina,
was splendid lawyer, and could talk a
jury out Of their seven senses. lie was
especially noted for his success in crimi-
nal cases-almost always clearing his
client. He was once counsel for a man
accused of horse stealing. lie made a
long. eloquent, and touching speech.
The jury retired, but returned in a few
moments, and with tears in their eyes.
proclaimed the man not guilty. An old
acquaintance stepped up to the prisoner,
and said:
"Jem, the danger is past; and now,
honor bright, didn'tyou steal that horse?'
To which Jem replied:

Does circle around the moon foretell
bad weather? AS rule, a circle round
the moon indicates rain and wind. When
seen with a north or northeast wind, we
may look for stormy weather. especially
if the circle be large; with the wind in
any other quarter, we may expect rain /;
so also when the ring is small, and the
moon seems covered with mist. IF, how
ever, the moon rise after sunset, and q
circle be soon after formed round it, no
rain is foreboded. In the Netherlands
they have this proverb
A ring round the moon
May pass away soon;
But ring round the sun
Gives water ia the tun.
Another version obtains among sea-
men, and is as follows:
A ring round the moon
May soon 90 by;
But ring round the sun
Makes wife and child ery.

The Washington letter writer's for the
Locofoco press are, just now, playing
strong game by trying to induce the public to
believe that Chief Justice TaneJ and Justice
Mclean are about to resign their position on
the Supreme Bench, on account OF the grow
ing infrmities of extreme old age. 1t is
hoped by urging this reason, as from the
mouth of the Judges, they will convince the
people Of the propriety of their resignation;
and, having accomplished that, these wire
workers hope to bring this conviction to bear
with sufficient force upon the Judges to in
duce them to resign.
And the final aim and object of all this is
to make two vacancies on the Bench for our
old Federal President to Eli with sound and
long -lived Shareholders. The time is short
in which Democratic President will rule
the country, and it would be an admirable
stroke Of policy to get couple of old
Judges to resign and fill their places with
young men, during that brief period, ant
thus keep the Supreme Bench in the hand.
Of the Shareholders for another generation
fancy may "acquiesce" in this sharp poiti
cal practice, but Judge Mclean is not Ole
enough to be so rotten, nor young enough Il
be so green.

Another GoIden wedding.

The sGolden Wedding" Of Mr.. and Mrs.
George lie Bontilier took place last evening,
at the house Of G. j. Roberts, Esq, son-in-
law, on George-st.
The Island Of Jersey was the place of ma
tivity of both of them. They were married
in Jersey on the 4th Of February, 1859. Last
evening family tree was exhibited, repre-
senting the genealogy Of the family and
branches-three sons..and three daughters,
including two sons and daughter-n law
from the East, and number Of grandchil-
dren.

evening, grandchild, wrapped up in sbap-

which had been used at the baptism of seve-

Lines for m editation.

Beautifully and tenderly wrought out is
the comparison of the long suffering Of God
to the affectionate care Of nurse, in these
lines, from one Of Quarles' Meditations:
Even as a nurse, whose child's imperfect pace
Can hardly lead his foot from place to place,
Leaves her fond kissing, sets IN down to go,
Nor does uphol him for q step or two,
But when she finds that he begins to fall
She holds him up, and kisses him withal:
So God from sometimes withdraws his hand
Awhile TO teach his infant faith to stand;
But when he sees his feeble strength begin
To fail, he gently takes him up again.

TnTKTY-FIFTH CONGRESS-.
SECOND SESSION.

WASHINGTON, FEB. ii.
HoUsE.-Mr. English, of Ind, reported q
bill establishing many new post routes and
giving authority to the Postmaster General
to contract for carrying the mails according
to existing laws on all public routes which
have been or shall be constructed, and when,
in his opinion, the public conveniences re-
quire it.
During the debate, Mr.. English, in reply
to question Of Mr.. Jones, OF Tenn, said
there was a provision in the bill for route
from st. Paul to the Pacific.
Mr.. Jones replied that they already had an
overland mail to tho Pacific, which would
prove curse to the country, at cost of
5000, 900 per annum, for six years.
Mr.. English said there was nothing in this
bill requiring a service to be put on the route
from st. Paul to the Pacific.
Mr.. Jones moved to table the bill. Motion
negatived.

The Democratic Free Traders were defeat
ed in the caucus at Washingtonon their even
ing Of the 10th, and are fierce in the denun-
citation Of the PRESIDENT, who, they say, con-
trolled tho caucus and defeated them, and OF
the Hnion, which defends the interference
and the issue. These chaps-(they are most
" fire-eating slavery-propagandists) Invoke
the interference of the President, success
fully, whenever any of their schemes to ex-
tend slavery and cripple the interests OF free
labor are upon the carpet, and think it is
mighty fine thing; but when be presumes to
interfere for any purpose not so agreeable to
them, il is horrible matter.

An Answer.
ny J. q. WHITTIER.

You ask merrier strain OF me-
The shepherd pipe Of Already,
The vintage hymn, the hunter horn,
The reaper carol from the corn
All. small the choice of him who sings
What sound shall thrill the smi,ten strings;
Fate holds and guides the hands Of Art,
And lays must answer TO the heart.
In shadow now, and new in sun,
As runs the life the song must run
But glad or sad, to Gods good end
Doubt not the varying streams shall tend.

CoNFIRxATioS STRoSa.-The Hopkeye put
forth the ridiculous pretence, the other day,
that it was cheaper to ship goods to Daven-

than on the direct route to Davenport over

reason assigned was the expense of crossing
the bridge.
In support OF this assumption, the editor
subsequently, adduces the certificate Of the
freight agent Of the Burlington road that q
hundred and.sixty thousand pounds (several
wagon loads,) Of freight had been shipped
over the Burlington road for Muscatine and
the other points. And he further says, he
has also "madc shipments" for Davenport

LATER FROM EUROPE.
PROSPECTS OF WAR.

The America arrived at Halifax on thu
l4th. She brings US no news OF Importance
except the following, which indicates that
war on the continent il imminent:
FRANcK.-The Paris correspondent of the
London Daily states that war.lik prepare
tions are going on so actively that the break
inc out Of hostilities would not seem oues-
ton of weeks but days. The demand for
cavalry ia so urgent that orders have been
given to buy horses 9years old.
Letters from Toulon state that 81 war
transports are to be ready by March LIST.
The supplemental surgeons in the military
hospitals at Paris and Marseilles are ordered
to hold themselves in readiness for active
service in the artillery. There are compa-
MES in which fve-sixths Of the men are ex-
cused from duty because they are making
cartridges.
A letter from Grenoble speaks Of the con-
tinued arrival OF troops and formation Of
corps d'armes in the Alps.
Three men of-war left Toulon on the Goth
for Genoa, supposed for the purpose or ac-
companying Prince Napoleon and his bride
to France.
Three ships Of the-line were under or
ders at Cherboug to join the experimental
squadron in the Mediterranean, as quick as
possible.
The Moniteur de la Colonization contains
a ministerial decree of Prince Napoleon,
dated Jan. 9th, by which all recruiting of
immigrants at the eastern coast of Telafai
and Madagascar is prohibited.
The Independent Beige asserts that the
English Cabinet is making efforts at Paris
as we'll as at Vienna and Turin to effect pa
cifc arrangements of existing difficulties. 1t
has been suggested to adopt the plan pro-
posed by Austria herself to Lord Palmerston
in lS4S, by which Lombardy would have OBJ
tanned separate and governing administra-
ton on constitutional principles. The
French Government has given favorable at
tention to the proposition.
The Vienna Cabinet, without committing
itself to any definite course, is said to have
been converted to the idea of European
Congress, though ut first it was decidedly
hostile to such plan.
London, and not Paris, is this time to be
the place where the Penipotentiaries are to
meet.
According to the Paris correspondent of
the Times and Herald the project Of warding
of hostilities by convoking Congress is con-
sidered nugatory.
The Prris correspondent of the Herald,
writing on the night of the 9th, says the
opinion now il almost universal in Paris that
a crisis has arrived in the affairs of Europe,
more momentous than any which has arrived
since the wars Of the first Emperor. Among
the lower classes the war feeling is stmula-
ted by lie Presse and LIE Steele, and il daily
growing more intense.
1t is alleged the British Government has
completed contract with three large Iron
Companies for supply of 6S Founders. as
fast as they can be cast. An important con-
tract for gunpowder has also been conolud-
ed.
