The New Hork Herald has dispatch from New
Orleans, dated the 25th, stating that Gen. Walker
was shot by the Honduras authorities on the 18th
of September and that Col. Ruttler was still held as
aprisoner. The same steamer brought back the
remnant of Walkers army. The following "pro-

surrendered: ->---~----,--

We are told by Mr.. B"eckinridge's friends in this
State that he is not disunionist. Perhaps he is
not non, but what guarantee have we that he will
not become one ?-Register.
That perhaps" of our nelghbor means great
DEAL He does not believe that Mr. Breckenridge is
disunionist but he says there is guarantee that
he will not become one Why, there is every guar
antee that he will not. In the first place, his sec
ton is as much opposed to disunion as Maryland,
Virginia, or North Carolina In the second place,
if defeated for President he will have no motive to
turn disunionist; and if elected President, evory
consideration will urge him. if indeed any additional
consideration should be necessary, to stand by and
preserve the Union. Our neighbours logic is defec-
tive. But is there any danger that John Bell will
become disunionst? He errs on the other ex-
IRENE All his antecedents-his votes with the
North while in Congress and against the South on
every important question, may be relied upon as
guarantee, already given to the North, that he
would submit to almost any black Republican ag,
erosion before he would resist The real disu,
nonists are those who are eternaly proclaiming as
many of the supporters of Bell are doing that for
the sake of the Union they will submit to be kicked
and cuffed to any extent by black Republican ma.
jorities We say the real disunionists; for such
course, if generally adopted by the South, would
certainly end in disunion by encouraging the North
to assa us and press to point where resistance
and disruption would follow. There can be nc
Union without the Constitution. We are for Q

DEBT.

L. B., who figures in the Cincinnati
Gazette, furnishes the following very
sensible article on the subject of debt.
This thing of debts SO little understood,
and SO injurious in its effects, that l re-
quest you to give it place in your pa
per:
How to go in debt is an art that most
persons learn from bitter experience
In all departments of labor it is an art
easily taught, but not so easily reduced
to practical operation. The rule to- be
laid down is, that debt should never be
contracted for what we consume A tam
ner may properly buy hides on credit,
Tor his labor does not consume them, but
gives an additional value to them; the
shoemaker may buy the leather ON credit,
for his labor, too adds, to its value, but
when the wearer of the shoes buys them
on credit, then neither the shoemaker,
ner tanner, nor seller Of hides has any
valuable security for the debt. Tho
wearer of the shoes has destroyed it
So a farmer may buy land on credit, be
cause his labor on it adds to its value;
he may purchase growing stock ON credit,
because his grass crop is improving it.
But when he goes to the store and buys
merchandise on credit, which he con-
sumes. relying upon uncertain crops, and
unstable prices to pay the merchant,
then he endangers his own security, and
that of the various classes of merchants
who are depending on each other Cap
ital, to be useful, must be employed; and
as the labor of most of us is our only
capital, our wants demand its employ
ment. If a debt created gives US that
upon which we may proftably expend
our labor, debt is blessing; but when
it fetters the employment of our labor,
it is a curse.

A Fact.
An editor speaking of the bad litera-
ture of the present day, says: You may
read many of the eastern weeklies for a
year and scarcely find fact which will
make you wiser or better-all fiction,
romance, lies, velvet feathers, little
fends equipped in smiles and erinolines,
big scoundrels in epauletts; with a
moustache. turning the hearts of sim
pering maidens: the everyday history
of life ingeniously belied and generally
outstretched and yet always ends beau
tifully. Hundreds of persons who think
they can't afford to take their home pa
per, in the course of year spend three
times the amount in trash.
