There was hollow sadness in her voice
that had alarmed Mrs. Morton, who waited at
tho door, listening anxiously, lest any sound
should betray that Amy had over r.e,l nei
courage, or that the first sight of d nth had
alarmed and overpowered her. She little sus-
pectedshow much had died to Amy with Walter
Morton. Ali was still for a few minutes, and
then she thought she heard a low yet bitter
groan, but when she opened the door, Amy
was already seated at her task, composed and
fearless. Again Mrs. Morton left her, and
went down stairs to make the melancholy ar
rangements which she knew must claim her
attention.
None watched the PROCESS of Amy's SORROW
full task and when, long after, she confessed
the tie that had bound her to Walter she told
but little Of the four days she spent in the
chamber of death. Something she said OF the
gay, mocking sunshine that filled the room
when she drew aside the curtain that she
might see his face; something ofthe cruel con-
trast between the merry voices that filled the
summer air with life, and the dreary, unbroken
silence Of the little room that was then her
world She limited at moments when the pas
sion of grief conquered her, and she wept in
hopeless agony; and again, the calm evening
would find her kneeling beside him, his cold
hand in hers, praying that her despair might
be forgiven, and finding some of the comfort
she so sorely needed
The picture was finished, and two days after
wards Walter was laid in his grave. Mrs. Nor
toms affection for Amy appeared daily to in
crease; and, in few weeks, she persuaded
Amy and her mother to take up their abode in
her house.
Poor Amy's patient, faithful spirit struggled
hard against dependency, and she continued
her labors as a miniature-painte with the zeal
of her former and happier days. But, alas
success did not, as formerly, attend her efforts
It might be that her hand was less skilful; il
might be that the gay and thoughtless who
had at first found o pleasant way of obtaining
character for beneyolence, by patronizing the
pretty young miniature-p painter, had found
some still more interesting object on whom tc
bsssow their so-called charity. Whichever

W. M. CoRcoRAN, ESQ.,, has been appointed,
and confirmed, Postmaster at Saint Paul, in
place of CHARLES s. CAVE, Esq, whose
term of Office has expired. Mr.. CAVE re-
tires from the Office, as we understand, at his
own solicitation. Mr.. CoRcoRAN will at
once enter upon the discharge Of his duties.
In noticing this change we can do no less
than to bear testimony to the ability and
courtesy with which Mr.. CAVE has acquitted
himself during the past four years, in a
highly responsible and difficult position
while we predict for the new incumbent,
from his genial habits, and business capaci,
ty, successful administration of our postal
affairs, and the consequent approval Of the
government and the community at large.

Tn. Charleston Nomination.

Senator CL1NoMAN, of North Carolina,
states that he knows four Of the delegation
from that State are for Mr.. DOUGLAS. So
says the Washington correspondent Of the
New York Times. A majority Of the dele
CATION, it is said, will 60 for HUNTER on
the first ballot.
Gen. HAMILTON, M. O., from Texas, who
was voted for by the Democrats for Speak
er, after BococK's withdrawal, has written
letter to Hon. Mr.. FoUKE, of Illinois, in
which he comes out for Judge DouaLAs,
and makes powerful argument in favor of
his nomination. Gen. HAMILTON denies that
Congressional action for the protection of
slavery in the Territories will be eHectual,
and contends that non-intervention is the
true doctrine for the South to maintain.
There are not enough slaves in the South
now to develop the rich resources of the
cotton. rice and sugar growing States, and
Mr.. HAMILTON thinks that none will be
taken to Territory where the climate and
productions will make them less profitable.
He also regards the course Of Judge DOUG.
LAS in regard to Territories to be consistent
with that of his earlier years, and then pro-
ceeds to discuss his availability. regarding
him as the only man who can certainly be
elected in November next.
In Virginia, Congressional District Com
ventions are being held to elect delegates to
Charleston. In most instances, preference
is expressed by the conventions for the
nomination of Gov. WISE.
The last California news, with San Fran.
cisco dates to February "a, says that the
delegation from that State to Charleston
will be friendly to Senator LATHAM, and
opposed to Gw1N. This is considered
Douglas triumph.

and patriotic arguments whenever the occa-
sion is presented to him. There is good deal
of mettle in the character, and vast deal
of interest in the history, Of Jefferson Davis.
/ do not think he could be chosen President,
occupying, as he does, q platform which. to
be consistent with himself he must main.
tain, and which, duly enforced, would be
destructive to the best interests of more than
one half of the Union. But he is, in reality,
one Of the first men Of the country, and
would make, if put into the Chief Magis,
tracy, an honest and intrepid ruler.
In the midst of all these intrigues, how
ever, while the friends of MIR. Breckinridge
are quietly and industriously urging him
forward, screened all the time behind vague
declarations that he is not in the field,
the sentiment is gradually ripening and
strengthening that the nomination of Doug
las is essential to the success of the Demo-
cratic party in November next. The evil
dences in the South of this fact daily multi
ply. A better and kinder feeling towards
Douglas is beginning to be exhibited in both
branches of Congress, and among the politi-
clans located here. Within the last few
days be has carried delegates in Maryland
and North Carolina. His friends claim
among his supporters such Representatives
as Cobb and Houston, of Alabama, Warren
Winslow, of North Carolina, Craig, of Mis-
souri,, Rust, Of Arkansas, Prior, Of Virginia,
and others, and it is well known that John
Forsyth, of Alabama, Pierre Soule, of
Louisiana, Knox Walker, of Tennessee, and
men Of equal prominence in the slave states,
are enthusiastically supporting his claims.
Now, all that Douglas needs to give him
the nomination is strong body of support
ers from the Southern States, and it looks
as if he would achieve this desideratum.
Mr.. Bigler, Mr.. Plumer, and others from
Pennsylvania, make it a point to declare
that he can never get the majority of the
delegates from your state, and as the admin
istration insists upon its ability to control
the New York delegates, and the delegates
from New Jersey, many of the hopes Of the
friends of Judge Douglas may be disap-
pointed even when the fruit is supposed to
hang luscious and near before their eyes.
l had the pleasure of seeing the Little
Giant" at his lady's reception on Saturday
last. He was in rugged health, looked
bright and cheerful, and mingled with the
happy throng as gay as the youngest man
present. I never saw Mrs Douglas look
more lovely than she did while receiving the
salutations of the crowds who visited her
hospitable home.

HE Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune says Messrs. SL1DEIL,
Gw1N, and others, have attempted a move
ment to combine New York and Pennsylva-
MIA on Mr.. BREcKINRIDaE at Charleston, but
without success, so far, except as to part
of the Pennsylvania delegation, previously

The reaction in favor of DOUGLAS, (says
the Cincinnati Enquirer,) is steadily going
on all over the South. Every day brings
in some fresh and powerful allies. The
latest accession is Judge THOMAS w.
THOMAS, of Georgia, the right-hand man, in
days past, of HOWELL COBB, and one of the
first men in that State.
He declared the other day in public
speech that DOUGLAS was his choice over
all other men for President for three rea.
sons First, he is honest, bold and con-
sistent secondly, be is sound, capable and
experienced thirdly, he is the only man
that could be elected.

Overland Mails to the Pacific-One from
st. Paul to Olympia.

A project is on foot at Washington, and
meets with great favor, to abolish the pre-
sent mail service by steamers and the Isthmus
transit, to California. A despatch from a
reliable source states that the Senate Com
mittee on Postofices and Roads, at meet.
ing held on the 14lh inst, unanimously
recommended new system of postal service
between the Atlantic and Pacific states. It
will authorize the Postmaster General to
advertise for proposals for carrying the mail
twice week between st. Paul, MIMI, on
line running between the 46th and 48th
degrees of north latitude, and Olympia,
Washington territory, and Fort Vancouver,
in twenty days also, twice week from st.
Joseph, Mo-, on line between the 4Oth
and Add degrees of north latitude, to San
Francisco, in twenty days; also, twice a
week from st. Louis. by the present over
land mail route, via Fort Comanche, to San
Diego and San Francisco, in twenty days !;
also, from New Orleans to San Antonio,
Texas, and thence to Fort Comanche, where
it will connect with the present overland
mail route to San Francisco, in twenty days.
If the government had expended on an
overland route to the Pacific, the amount
received by the mail steamers, during the
past eight years, we would have now had a
daily mail to San Francisco, carried through
in less than twenty days.

The Milwaukee Democrat, referring to a
statement of Hon. AMAsA WALKER, that
trees may be so grated as to produce an
apple, one half of which is of one kind of
fruit and the other of different kind, Gays
that in an orchard in Cass county, Michi-
gan, may be found tree bearing apples
which are composed of alternate sections Of
layers of sweet and sour, each apple con.
tanning perhaps six distinct sections, the
sweet and sour portions distinctly marked,
the former being yellow, and the latter
green.
We know this process OF grating to be
entirely practicable. The half of large
apple tree growing on the homestead OF the
writer hereof, in Genesee county, New York,
was thus grated, some thirty years since,
and it has regularly produced fruit of the
character above described, with alternate
streaks of sweet and sour-the yellow and
green sections being as distinctly marked in
flavor, as if they were cut ffom different
varieties of fruit, and grown on separate
trees. We ate of them during our boyhood,
and since, as we visit the old home, our first
inquiry in the way Of apples, is for the
mixed greetings" So we have an album
dance of practical knowledge that " the
thing Can be DONE" .... 81.

DEGRADATION OF THE JUDICIARY.-The
Republican candidate for Chief Justice of
Wisconsin, Mr.. SLOAN, has been compelled
to announce his views in the Booth case.
He virtually pledges himself, if elected, to

OF antagonism with the United States, and

between Wisconsin and the Federal Govern

strongly condemning the election of Wac
