as his father. He has an Office where he works
harder than dry goods clerk. Six or seven
gentlemen act as book keepers, but he holds the
thread Of the complicated skein in his own hand.
His room contains in bound volumes the records
and maps of his vast estate, and be can readily
turn to any piece Of property and find the rent
and other particulars.
Now listen to the prophet voice Of ALFRED
TENNYsoN, as he sings of "The Golden Year,"
"When wealth no more shall rest in mounded heaps,
But smit with freer light shall slowly melt
In many streams to fstten lower lands -
And light shall spread, and man be lker man
Through all the season Of the golden yea" -
- The Richmond Wing gives the following
"Plays upon Initials" for the Presidency: An
Indiana paper advocates the claim Of Simon
Cameron, Of Pennsylvania, for the Presidency,
because from the initials Of his name can be
drawn the inspiring words, Successful Candi-
date. An Ohio. Republican paper, noticing the
above, prefers Chase, because s. P. G. are en-
tirely ominous, meaning Succssfl Presidential
Candidate. To both Of which the Columbus
Statesman Democratic) replies: The initials Of
Simon Cameron would be more appropriately
applied to Slippery Cheat, and those of Salmon
IP. Chase to Small Potatoes Cooked The Repub.
lican papers might retort by telling the States
man that the initials of it's candidates.. A. D..
mean Small Apples Dried, or that, if nominated,
he will surely be Shiuered and Dismantled.
Our Imp thinks s. A. D. stands for Soft Apple
Dumplings.
The Charleston Ne,Os, speaking of the
rupture at Charleston, says: Itplaces Douglas
and his dogmas between the upper and the
neither millstone-it will grind them to powder.
He cannot carry the South, he cannot carry the
North. If the result be to throw the election
from the Electoral College into the House Of
Representatives, the fifteen Southern States there
and California and Oregon, (making in it already
II votes out of SS,) will elect the Southern can
didate.
For the first time in years, the 'dark hour"
seems to pass, and the dawn to break upon the
South. Itcomes from the Southern States stand
ing, shoulder to shoulder, in firm and determined
phalsnx. Let the great movement 60 on-there
must be no step backward, but calmly, judiciouse
ly, regularly forward. The moral revolution
has begun-let its mission be accomplished.
The Deputy Marshal Of Troy, New York,
recently arrested a negro, fugitive from B. W.
HANsBoRouGH, of Culpepper County, Virginia,
and carried him before a commissioner who iden-
tilted him, and remanded him to his owner. "a
crowd of about one thousand persons gathered
and took the negro forcibly from the officers, and
carried him to the river and rowed him across,
where he Was re-arrested by West Troy consta-
BILE. Another crowd rescued the fugitive, and
he was taken. off in carriage. Pistols were
used, but no one was seriously hurt Negroes
were most active in the affair. Immense excite
ment exists"
A still meaner outrage has just been commit
ted in New York, against the widow Of Hon.
BEVERLY L. CLARKE, late United States Minis
ter to Guatemala and Honduras.
"She and her two children arrived in the Ariel,
accompanied by negro girl, to whom she and
her children were much attached, when, before
the party were landed, the girl was stolen. It is
thought the abduction was done by collusion be-
tween the Captain Of the Ariel and the Steward
Of the vessel. The unfortunate lady, with her
fatherless children; had to start for her home
in Tennessee without her servant"
She passed through Petersburg, Virginia, and,
the Express says: "she appeared much defect
ed and worn down with sorrow, her heart al
ready made desolate by death, now freshly torn
by the ungrateful conduct Of cherished servant,
through the perfdy Of those in whom she had
confded for protection, could scarcely have borne
more, and the baseness Of the perpetrators of
this outrage should be held up to the scorn and
reproach of every honorable citizen"

"The rumor of o terrible conspiracy among
Yankee vagabonds, to murder certain prominent
citizens of Williamsburg, which obtained circu-
laton through the columns Of the Clarendon
Banner, was all Cannon. 1t grew out Of on
anonymous letter, received by the Post Master
at Kingstree, purporting to have been mailed at
New York, in which the writer pretended to
repeat conversation which he had overheard
between Dodd. one of the school teachers who
were run off from that district last Summer, and
a gang of plug in relation to an intended
assault upon certain citizens in and about Kings
tree, during the session of the Charleston Con-
vention. We saw this letter, while attending
Court at Kingstree, and concluded that it was
but feeble attempt upon the part of the mar
tyred Dodd aud Hamilton to disturb the quiet of
those who, while dismissing them from the dis
trict, neglected to treat them to something which
would have afforded them cause long to remem-
ber the circumstances under which they left

- Some of our readers may have not con-
siderei that our abolition friends of the North
and of England, talk as habitually as we do, Of
waiting maids and other kinds of servants.
We have before us extracts from o Sermon on
servants published to the English people recent
| ly; in which the writer, after saying that the
spread of knowledge tends to 'unsettls servants,
yet hoping that time will render education among
them nothing but a benefit, says:
Sensible people will soon begin to do as much
without servants as they can. There are many
things which it is customary to summon servant
to do for you, but which it is really much pleas
anter to do yourself. And ladies will soon begin
to see that they would be much more comfortable
and independent if they at least knew how work
ought to be done. The day will come when ed
ucated English women will know how to cook,
and we already see the blessed promise of the
dawn. Some most sensible institutions have been
opened in London, aOhsre ladies can go and take a
quiet lesson in cookery. In former days there
