warning Voice from .rsomb. /.

Senator ToOmbs, of Georgia, is a leading
Senator on the Democratic side. He is blunt
free spoken man, and talks right out whether he
hits political friends or foes. Mr.. Toombs well
understands the extIavagance of the Admins
tration, and defeated the Post Office Appropri
alton bill of some 81 5000 900 for the purpose Of
arresting the reckless waste in that department.
He declares that no other party but the Demo
cratic could have stood the blunders and follies
of this Administration, and expresses his doubts
whether even Democracy can endure two years
more of such misruIe. Here is a specimen Of
the way he hits from his speech on the Navy
Yard Appropriations:
Your appropriations for Navy Yards have
gone to the building of houses for officers and
the making of flower pots and sll that sort of
thing, at the cost of s., 600, ,000 and it will be
no less as long as you will pay it, but win go up
to S4, GOO, 600 if you do not stop it. There are
81, 900 900 that you have no need for at all
You have 5000 sailors to man your navy. You
have not increased them of late years, and you
have now 5000 men IN your navy yards to help
them-civiIians. You have carried their mum
Der up from 5000 to 8, eco. You have eight
navy yards You have eight conveniently loca-
ted about the country, and IT is cause of re-
proach to good Democrats for The enemy to say
we keep the people here to cheat them In cleo
tons; and, as God;s my Judge, / am afraid there
is something In it.

New AtIanric TeIeEraph Proiect.

"De Sautyp is mute, mute forever. The
great cable is stone dead. All hope of another
tick is lost; De Sauty has gone home. "a
A new plan, however, of wiring the CONT
nents has been submitted in Canada End finds
favor. 1t is the suggestion of the Hon. John
Young, Of Montreal, who has fame as projee-
tor. He was first protector Of the grand iron
bridge over the s., Lawrence at Montreal, is a
man Of wealth, and purposes TO engage actively
ia the Trans Atlantic enterprise. He has aP-
piled to Parliament for an act of incorporation,
and bill has been introduced by Mr.. DoriOn
1t provides for line from Quebec via Labra-
dor, with a capital of $1,000, 900, which may
be increased to s5,OOO,OOO. The proposed line
is by way Of Labrador, Greenland, Iceland, The
FARCE and Shetland Islands. By this route the
longest submarine link would be only 4sO
miles long. By the bill the work is to be COM
menced within one year, and completed to Lab
rador within three years.
1t is stated that Mr. Young Las influential
friends in all the commercial cities of Great
Britain and America, so that any project which
can enlist his active influence has half achieved
success. The bill doubtless will pass the Cana
dian Parliament.

OHIo LADY ARTIST IN WAsHINeToN-The
Washington correspondent of the Boston Tran
script, thus writes of lady artist whose por-
traits and landscapes have been much admired
in Northern Ohio. The artist is from Harpers-
field, Ashtabula county :A4E,it = f
Miss c. L. Ransom, of Ohio, who has been
sojourning here for few weeks, is at work up
on portrait of Mr.. Giddings. which bids fair
to be strong and characteristic likeness and an
admirable work of art. Miss Ransom's portraits
are remarkable for q degree of strength and
vigor not often seen in the productions Of female
artists. She is young lady of great eultivs-
ton and is devoted to her profession, which she
pursues with degree of intelligence and en-
enthusiasm that must one day give her an envi-
able position in the domain Of art

The Next House Of Representative

=
The next House Of Representatives will
consist of 237 Members-II9 constituting
majority. According to the Tribune's classif
cstion, the Republicans have elected liz, the
Democrats &c. The Free States yet to choose
are Connecticut 4, Rhode Island 2, Minnesota
2, California 9, Oregon l. Should COnnecti-
cut, Rhode Island and Minnesota elect Repub-
IicAns, 8 members, it would give the RePubli-
cans 100, q clear majority.
In its table the Tribune sets down Messrs-
Schwartz and Montgomery of Pa, and the five
Douglas Democrats from Illinois as likely to
vJte with the Buchanan men for Speaker. On
the other hand it classes Messrs. Clark, Haskin,
and Reynolds of New York, Adrian and Riggs
of New Jersey, and Hickman, of Pa, with the
Republicans, because they were chosen in good
part by Republican votes, and symPathise with
Republicans on most points. The Slave States
have most Of their members to choose yet
They will be mainly BlehaDan Democrats
with sprinkle of Americans or Wings The
Southern Opposition to the Administration VIII
aim to hold the balance OF power in the organl
cation of the House. The Tribune remarks;
The case, then, lies Just thus; If we elect
all the members from Connecticut, Rhode island
and Minnesota, we can organize the House with
out hesitation or difficulty, and so frame the
Committees as to give the friends Of Free SoIl,
Free Labor, more wisely Discriminating Ia
riff. the Homestead bill. Retrenchment and
Cheap Postage, an ascendency in the next Con-
gress which can hardly be overcome, On the
other hand, the loss of two or three Members IN
these three States may involve another long and
doubtful struggle for the SPeakership, and throw
the Printing. &c. against us, as in the XXXIV
Congress. To that Congress (House) the Slave
Democracy elected less than eighty Members;
vet one hundred and three votes were once cast
for their candidate for Speaker, and one hun
ldred on the final ballot, when he was beaten by

The SLAVE TRADE IN FLosIDA.-A st. Au-
gustihe correspondent of the New York Times,
says that the African slave trade is carried on
at the South TO an extent not generally suspec-
ted. 1t is rumore1 that two eargoes have been
landed on the Gulf coast of Florida, and that
more Of the same sort are coming, The bark
Ardanes, The captain Of which was arrested in
Jacksonville some time since, finally sailed from
that port with American papers, and is now well
known to be filled with African stock either for
Cuba or this coast Other vessels are known
to be engaged In the same business. If the
slave trade is not In reality re-opened at
this time, the indications are that it soon will
be, and continued until the present demand is
satisfied
Howlhe African Slave Trade progresses is
shown by the fact that Capt Buer, of the Coast
Survey Steamer Vixen, telegraphed from Wash
ington on the 22d that SLAYER had been cap
tured off the coast Of Florida, near St Josephs.
The SLAYER is the E. a Rawlins, the same ves-
sci that applied to the Collector of Charleston
for clearance, and long correspondence &C.
CURED between Secretary Cobb and the Collec-
tor The negroes had been landed before the
capture of the SLAYER. Secretary Cobb on be-
ing informed of the facts brought the subject
to the attention of the Cabinet-there it will
probably end. for the chief interest felt by the
administration in the slave business is IN CATCH
ing fugitives from slavery. SIayers fit out and
sail from American ports with as much impuni-
ty as from Spanish.

POOR RICHARDS MAXIM's

The following from the great merican phil
osopher. DR.. Franklin, should be printed in
letters of gold, and hung up in every school
room, side by side with the usual q b ab,
dog Latin, and other nonsense with which
our childrens minds are GRAINED, and which
seems to be the rule in our modern system Of
tuition.
There will come time when Professor
ship of Political Economy will be considered
an absolute necessity to every. school Blu:
that time is not yet. At present we have
nothing but profusion and shameful waste on
the one hand, while abject poverty, mean
ness of spirit, and fetal carelesness are too
much observable on the other. These are
the two extremes which characterize our pres
ent false state of things 10 physical point of
view: all laid to the score Of false training,
from the highest to the lowest. Bus hear
what Poor Richard says:
1. Plow deep while sluggards sleep, and
you shall have corn to sell and to keep
9 Pride is as loud beggar as want, and
great deal more saucy.
/. 81 Silks and satins, scarlets and velyets,
put oat the kitchen fire.
4. Diligence is the mother Of good luck
5. Pride breakfasted with Plenty, dined
with Poverty, and supped with infamy.
6. Extravaganza and improvidence and at
the prison door.
It is easier to build two chimneys than
to keep one in fuel.
s. If you would know the value of money
GO and Try to borrow some.
G. The eye of the master will do more
work than both his hands.
10. What maintains one vice will bring up
two children.
IL He that goes borrowing returns sor
rowing
II. Rather 60 to bed supperless than to
rise in debt.
13. Sloth, like rust. commences faster than
labor wears.
IA. A life Of leasure and a life of lazin ess
are two different things.
Is. Three removes are as fire.
16 Creditors have better memories tha 1
debtors.
II. The rolling stone gathars no moss.
IS. If you would have your business done
60; if not, send
10. 1t is foolish to lay out money in the
purchase ofrcpentance.
90 Buy what thou needess not, and it
will oblige thee to sell thy necessares.

terly, che laughs best who laughs last!'
The next moment 1 was dashing away
down the road, the half-ralied robbers pour
ing after me volley, but fortunately not
touching their mark. They would have fol-
lowed me doubtless, in hot pursuit, but for
the wholesome dread they had of the still un-
discharged weapon. AS it was l escaped,
and entered the town of Puebla in triumph;
where it is almost needless to add nara
tive of my exploit made me hero and lion
for time. Here sold my captured mustang
and trappings for enough to indemnify me for
what had disposed of in the way of presents
and the next day saw me an inside passenger
of the same diligeneia en- route for Mexico,
where arrived in safety, without any other
event worthy of note
What became of the robbers and their
beautiful accomplicc l never learned; but the
lesson taught me on that journey I have not
forgotten; and during the remainder of my
stay il that country, no pretty women ever
had the honor of being my business conf
dante, or of getting possession of my trusty
and unfailing revolvers.
