we have ever seen. In the completeness of its

followed by ma ority of American writers, SO
far as our observation extends.-N. Carolina

Websters works appear to us at least as good

RELIGION OF THE DRUsEs.-The howles,
or temples, of the Druses are open for their
religious meetings every Thursday evening,
about an hour after sunset. AT the commence
ment of the nights business, Akkals and Dja-
hills both assemble together, when the news of
the day and the prices of crops are discussed.
AT ;his period a chapter or two of the Moslem
khoran is read, and no objection is made even
to strangers being present. This, however, is
not general rule by any means, and it is only
Europeans, whom the Druses particularly
wish 10 honor, that they would admit even
thus far to the outside, it were, of their wor-
ship. When the evening is little farther
| advanced, all Djahils are obliged to withdraw,
and the howle becomes like free mason's
lodge, closely tiled or shut with an armed
guard near the door to prevent all intrusion.
AT these meetings no one save the initiated are
ever present, and they often stretch far into
the night, so much SO, that | have sometimes
seen the Akkals going home from their howIes
long after midnight. Sometimes, when very
important matters have to be discussed a sec.
ond selection takes place in the howles, and
the younger Akkals being obliged to with.
draw, the elders-the creme de la creme Or those
initiated into the highest mysteries of the sect
remain alone to deliberate and determine
upon the future proceedings of their fellow re-
gionsts, or to discuss such more advanced
doctrines OF their creed as are only known to
the select few. Singular to say, no form of
worship, nothing which at all comes near our
idea OF prayer is known TO be practised by the
DruSes. In the large towns of Syria they will
often go to the Moslem mosques, and profess
TO call themselves followers of the prophet
But they hardly impose, nay, they don't seem
to impose, on any one, by this temporary adj
herence to the dominant religion for, in order
to avoid the sultan's CONSUMPTION, they have
been known to make the sign OF the cross, pro-
fess themselves Christians, and even ask for.
nay, sometimes receive, the rite of baptism
and they acknowledge, that according to their
creed, 1t is lawful to profess for time what
ever may be the creed of the most powerful
body amongst whom they live. Moreover
they hold concealment and secresy the great
est virtues which a man can practice and
s"ruple not to assert that crime only becomes

to claim the seat for the short term, under the
circumstances"
The Democrat is full of exultation and
hope, and speaks thus OF the result
"0ur victory has been won without trade
or coalition of any kind. 1t is a straight-out
republican triumph. True, we gave our votes
as general thing to tine union state ticket, but
this we did from high motives OF public duty,
and without asking or receiving any return.
St. Louis is, therefore, republican city. We
had to withstand the unpleasant sentiment oc-
casoned by the Impending Crisis a work
which, now that election is over, we will say
that we do not endorse. The contest has
been fought by the republican party on the
Chicago platform and on the emancipation
principle. The one was our national, and the
other our state platform, throughout the cam
paign We took no backward step. We low
cred not the flag. On the contrary, 1t was ad'
vanced higher and further forward than ever
before. We even refused to disclaim any po-
sition, however extreme, on the slavery ques-
ton, which the enemy attributed to US We
acted uniformly on the offensive, never on the
defensive. The apologize tone could not be
discovered in anything said or written on the
part of the republican party. We dared to in
vite the most radical opponents Of our doc.
trines from abroad, and to publish their
speeches in the very storm and whirlwind of
the canvass. If we erred at all, we erred on
the side of boldness. 1t is therefore with feel.
ings Of just pride that we send this message,
greeting, to our republican brethren through
out the country. We have fought and won
the Montebello of the presidential campaign.
We even give assurance that st. Louis county
will go for Lincoln and Hamlin in November
by 1000 majority, and that the two candidates
will receive at least 81, 900 votes in Missouri"

From the SATURDAY Evening Gnzette.

IMPROPER CONDUCT ON THE PART OF A
CLoCK.-We hear story that is somewhat
akin to the Providence Journals bell ringing.
A good lady was awakened about two o'clock
in the morning by peculiar sounds proceeding
from small mnntel clock in the chamber, and
waking her husband they both listened. The
sounds were as if some one struck the wire
coil, that served for a bell, very lightly, pro.
ducing distinct but not near so loud a sound
as the striking of the clock would, very must
cal, and as if counting off numbers. Five,
seven, nine eleven, and more were told. The
husband went to the clock, when the sounds
Immediately ceased. AS soon as he had reach.
ed the bed they began again. counting with
the same regularity and distinctness. Again
going to the clock, the sounds ceased when he
arrived within one foot of it, Again they were
repeated as he reached the bed. The third
time he went towards the clock, he stood lit.
tie outside of what seemed the charmed circle,
when the sounds grew fainter and fainter as
he stood thus, listening, till they died out with
gentle murmur, and they were heard no
more. What the sounds were cannot be mag
ined. The clock has heretofore given no signs
of alteration, and its conduct was, to say the
least, singular. The clock itself put very
honest face on, and licked away as though it
were anxious to wash its hands of any com.
plicity in the matter.

The Missouri Election.

The vote for governor of Missouri, at the
recent election, was very close. After hearing
from many of the democratic strongholds,
the st. Louis Democrat of last Thursday,
three days after the election, said 1.-THE
counties heard from are mainly those in which
jackson is strong. The returns received
from the southwest Orr's stronghold, are
meager; and from the southeast they are still
more SO. The impression on the part of many
however, seems to be that Orr will be COVER
nor, unless he is cheated as Rollins was three
years ago." Mr.. Rollins, for whom both the
republicans and the opposition" voted, for
governor, three years ago, and for whom both
parties voted now, is certainly elected to con.
gress, in the second congressional district. In
regard to Mr.. Green's election to the United
States Senatorship, the Democrat says -
1--WE cannot tell for some days whether Green
has any chance of going back to the senate,
but we think not. Some democratic counties
are against him, and the thirteen republican
votes Of St. Louis would probably be rather
given for any other man in the state quail
fled to discharge the duties of senator"

SISTER OF CHARITY LEADING THE SICIL.
IAN REvoLUTIoNIsTs.-The following inter-
esting incident is related in a recent letter
from Palermo On the 4th of April, young
patriot named Francisco Riso was killed. dur
ing a popular demonstration which took place
before Garibaldt's arrival. On April 20, his
father, Giovanni Rise, sixty years old, was shot
by the Bourbon soldiers without so much as
the form of trial. On the very day that
Garibaldi entered Palermo, young and beau
titul nun Ignacia Rise, the sister and daughter
of the two Risos named above, left the con-
vent, and amidst a shower of balls and grape
shot, cross in one hand and pognard in the
other, placed herself at the head Of Garbaldi's
column, crying, down with the Bourbons !
Death to the tyrantl Vengeance !" She
kept her place as long as the fighting lasted,
and her courageous attitude electrified the vol
unteers. Ever tince that day the name of Ig-
nacia Rise has been held sacred When she
passes in the street the soldiers bow low, and
bless her with the most profound respect. Ca
ribaldi himself pays her great attention, and
loves her as if she were his own daughter.

The Troubles at the Marlborough School.
CONCORD, Aug. 10, 1860.
To the Editor of the Boston Journal:
Having failed to communicate with any one
of the trustees of the State Reform School, in
order to make a formal reply to the report of
a committee of the council, contained in the
Journal of the 9th inst, will you allow me to
ask the public, through the same medium, to
suspend its judgment upon that matter until
the trustees, who reside in different parts of
the state, have had opportunity to reply.
For myself, desire to say, that if the crimes
charged upon the trustees and superintendent
of the institution are true, those officers are
unworthy OF q residence within the limits of
the state, or, indeed, with any civilized and
refined people. On the other hand, if the
facts in the case have been only partiaLly pre-
sented, or have been perverted, or if attending
circumstances, essential to be known in order
that the public may form a correct opinion of
the whole matter, hare been omitted,--a | think
it will be easy for the trustees to show has
been done, then the authors of that report
and all who sanctioned it, merit the execration
of every good citizen; for it not only calum
mates another branch of the state government,
but strikes CHASTITY blow at the wel-earned
and fair fame of the commonwealth. Nothing
that South Carolina has ever said of us, EQUALS
it. Truly yours,
SIMON BRowN
