criminals is suggestive of long train of rehec-
tions, and offers probable solution Of the whole
affair:
"From the returns made to the Secretary OF
the Commonwealth, by the keepers of jails and
houses Of correction in that State, it appears
that the number of persons committed to those
institutions during the year ending Oct. l, 1863,
was 13, 466, of whom 10, 1929 were males and 2,
668 females. The number Of natives Of that
State was 3185, of whom 800 could not read or
write The whole number who could not read or
write was 4493 Number who have been intem-
perate, 8081. Number committed as witnesses,
776. The whole amount of money expended by
the State on account of these individuals, inclu-
ding maintenance, officers salaries, &c., was
SIZE, 1852. The value of the labor Of prisoners
amounted to $4,000"
- A beautiful white girl, Miss KING, was
about two years ago sent out from England by
the Exeter Hall Abolition Society, as q mis-
sionary to the fugitive negroes in Canada West
She lately brought her philanthropy to a climax,
and married negro preacher to the chagrin OF
her friends and the disgust of all decent Cana
dians. She is said to be young, beautiful, &C.
complished, and was much respected. Ere the
first night after the wedding (?), hundred
whites had collected around their dwelling, Of
fering them every indignity. The Detroit Fret
Press speaks thus Of this rude beginning of ANAL
gamation:
"There was but one expression Of sentiment,
and that was that the blackamoor deserved hang
ing and that the wealthy, and refined, and phi
lanthropic Miss King ought to be sent back to
the Exeter Hall Abolition Society, as fit sub
jectfor the exercise of their reformatory twadde.
The UNIVERSAL disgust excited by the occurrence
s undsguised, and the female is branded as
lcompletely as though the touch of her negro
paramour had burned the mark Of Cain on her
forehead"
! -" "Pink," the N. Y. correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, says:
"The Dry Goods auction houses have hereto
fore been doing almost nothing, but as soon as
one commenced selling they all rushed into it
The importers have been holding back, one for
the other, none wishing to throw their goods into
the market for fear of depreciating prices. On
Thursday q very rich and independent house
gave their auctioneers an order to announce for
sale, on Tuesday, large lot Of French goods.
On Friday every auction house Of high standing
in the city was besieged with applications to
sell for this concern, that and the other. The
consequence is that on every day next week there
will be immense sales of silk and other goods,
and on some days two or three sales. One house
expects to knock down. in the six days, at least
million dollars worth, and the others will sell
in proportion. The buyers will have good chan
ces."
The Marysville, California, Democrat, of
the 4th February, contains an account of the
butchery of camp Of friendly Indians near that
place, by company Of Pitt River Rangers,
twenty in number. The Indians at the time
were cutting hay on contract with the United
States. Some of the Indians had lived with the
very men who murdered them. Sixty squaws
and children and ten Indian men were found dead
on the field. After the slaughter, the ranches or
huts, which had been occupied by the Indians,
we're set on fire and their bodies burnt. The
paper says: "A bill of nearly seventy thousand
dollars is now before the Legislature awaiting
payment, to be distributed, in part, among the
crimsoned murderers.'
- Lord JOHN RUSSELL, on inquiry, has con-
veyed to the British Parliament, interesting in
formation in relation to the annexation Of Savoy
to France. Sardinia has no intention to yield
Savoy. In case Of the annexation, the British
Government is determined to maintain the neu-
trality of Switzerland. Sardinia, in that case
claims that Chablais and Faucigna, two small
provinces among the Alps, shall belong to Swift
zerland. England approves. The Swiss Gov
ernment desire Savoy to remain part of Sardinia.
On the other hand, France claims that, if GEN.
trail Italian confederation is established, she
would deem it necessary to annex some part of
Savoy for border defence; but this will not be
done without consulting the great powers. If
another great European power be built up in It.
ally, its occupancy of the French slope Of the
Alps would be dangerous to the latter country.
The French Government has communicated to
Sardinia something to this effect; and, Of course,
France is so far opposing an Italian Confedera-
ton.
One of the finest examples of casting
bread upon the waters is contained in the fol-
lowing paragraph, relative to religious revival,
from the Newbern IN. C.) Progress. The para
graph was written by the Goldsboro correspon-
dent Of that paper. Of the revival, which is
going on the NJ. E. Church, he speaks thus:
