strumental music. The entertainment was of a high
ORDER and did great credit to the musical talent OF

HE CASTELAR, GAMBLER.-The following
is published in European journals as from
letter from Hamburg "A Spanish gentleman,
one OF the bodest players ever seen, keeps the
bankers at the gaming tables in the utmost
alarm. He plays the maximum stake nearly
every time, and has, SO far, won 81 900 ,OOOf
One of the directors OF the bank has Just re-
turned from Paris, bringing a sum of two mil
lions to increase the resources of the bank.
Immediately after his arrival, notice was
posted up at the CurSaal, stating that the bank
at rouge-etnoir would, for the future, consist
OF 3OO,OOOf instead OF 100000, and that the
maximum stake for each player would be r.
0OOf. in stead OF S00Ot. People go in crowds
from Frankfort to witness the daring and cool
ness of this intrepid gamester who braves
such formidable bank, and has given his
word as Castian that he will play till he has
ruined it or been ruined himself"

EXPOSURE OF A CoNsPIRACY.-We have
been informed by member OF our bar, just
returned from Kingstree Court, that just be-
fore leaving he was informed by the worthy
and reliable postmaster at that place, that he
had detected vile abolition documents of
most revolutionary and incendiary nature,
passing through the mails. Having his suspi-
cions aroused, his vigilance was quckened,
and it has resulted in the discovery of most
infamous bloody conspiracy against the peace
and safety of that district, by band of north
ern abolitionists, headed by the northern
teachers that were sometime since driven
from their midst, under most suspicious cir
cumstances. We hope the fortunate detection
OF the plan and tim OF invasion may, by put
ting the people on their guard, be the cause Of
preventing bIoodshed and the loss of lite

Douglas withdrawing his name, and Mr.. Bu-
chanan, having no competition, was nominated
by an unanimous vote.
Attorney General Black, the law officer of
the government, whom Robert j. Walker had
the singular indiscretion to challenge to a law
less encounter, is said to be Something of
backwoodsman in his manner, open, frank,
candid, and rough, rather than stif'and digni-
fed" He is said to be a member of the Bap-
fist church, and is of all the members of the
cabinet the favorite with the residents in
Washington.
Hon. Isaac Davis of this city, occupies the
place of one of the vice presidents of the
Charleston convention. OF the contesting
delegates from the fifth district, Messrs. Doh
erty, and Chatiee, substitute for Mr.. Hallett,
who had the advantage of a Irregular nomina-
ton, were admitted to the convention. The
unsuccessful contestants were John I. Heard
and j. c. Lovejoy. Gen. Butler has been
designated as the Massachusetts member of
the committee on resolutions and platform.
In the House of Representatives Monday,
the action the Covode committee was made
the subject of some criticism. Mr.. Houston OF
Alabama was anxious to know how the reports
got into the newspapers, and especially wheth'
er "it was the mission of that committee to
SANDER it is supposed he was about to des-
ignate the administration, but his voice was
drowned in cries of "order" from the repub-
can benches Mr.. Winslow, democratic men,
Der of the committee, didn't know how the
testimony got out, but suggested that there
might be three or four "black cats" in the
committee room. 1t finally appeared that the
witnesses, anxious to have their statements be-
fore the public, were in the habit of furnishing
them to the reporters in advance. In one in
stance, through the remarkable enterprise OF
"our own of the New York Herald, the evil
dence was published twenty-iour hours in adj
vance of its presentation to the committee.
During the debate in the House on Monday,
John Sherman, in reply to the question wheth'
err he was in favor of the abolition of slavery
in the District of Columbia, volunteered the
statement that he was opposed to any inter-
ference there, that the district was the para
disc of free negroes, that there were but few
slaves there, and the number was constantly
diminishing, that slavery could scarcely be
said to exist there as an institution, and that
he was willing to leave it to the effect of time.

SALE OF DISEASED CATTLE.-Mr. Editor -
Isee statements of the spread of the disease of
pleuro-pneumonia. AS the law has not been
published among the country farmers, and as
decisions say "Lgnoratia Legis ercusat ne'nnem,"
ignorance of the law excuses no one, l desire
to call attention to one provision of the law.
Sec. Sd provides that "any person who shall
sell or OthertUiSe dispose of an animal which he
knows, or has good reason to suspect, has been
exposed to the aforesaid disease, pleuro'
pneumonia, ''shall forfeit a sum not exceed
ing five hundred dollars" This law doubtless
WILL and most certainly should be strictly en-
forced. Let it be known. NE.

JOHN BRowN FUND IN HAYTI.-We have
seen two West Indian merchants who have
just arrived from Hayti. One of them who is
an accomplished and educated gentleman and
cousin of president GefIrard, informs us that
when he left Port-au-Prince, two weeks ago,
the contributions of coffee for the benefit of
John Browns family, amounted to about 1000
bags of l20 pounds each, and it was the gen.
eral opinion that another thousand bags would
be added, as everybody regarded it both as a
duty and privilege to contribute As these
bags are worth from S12 to Sl4 each, it is
probable that the republic of Hayti will add to
the John Brown fund from $4,000 to $4,000.
