ALABAMA PURCHASING Arms IN NEW

Capt. X. +. Thom, Quarterm aster- Cen
eral OF the state Of Alabama, has purcha-
sed: by the order Of the Governor, In New
Orleans, is 900 Colts six shooters and 5000
Sharp's rifles and will receive an order
from the Secretary of War, upon the COM

The Mobile papers Of Friday morning,
announce the ARRIVAL Of Capt. Thom in
that city ON his return from his mission to
Baton Ronge.
When the Capt. was hero, we failed to
notice him, snd his mission, because we
were afraid, that some Of our half minute,

some such clinohing message rs this.
"Capt. Thorn, the guns are ours-we claim
them by the right Of possession, which is
more than nine points.-we have them
and have concluded, to hold on to them,
until after the crisis. Capt. Thorn, you
are hereby invited to leave"

BUSINESS COURTESY. - Nothing
more certainly marks the gentle
man than the observance Of q uni.
form courtesy and kind oflife. Such
u bearing towards all men should
be cultivated till it grows to be a
habit. Sure, kind words are as
abundant, and cost no more than
harsh ones. Many a man has rob
bed himself of success by o austere
and naughty manner. Such an ad-
dress chills those whom interest at
tracts, and impairs a confidence
that wight become almost fond.
There is nothing like a quiet, gen.
tie, and polite manner in business.
Petulance and passion grow worse
by indulgence, and unfit their pos
SCISSOR for pleasant intercourse with
his fellows. But every gentlemen

Fur FAsHroN.--The once des.
pissed mink" taking rank only one
step higher than the muskrat, has
got into such high favor from it's
close resemblance to the Hud-
son Bay sable, that importations
have been displaced to a large
extent, and now the American
sable takes the precedence in
comparison with almost any of the
rival furs. StOnemarten, fitch,

Success is winning popular favor

en- does in the higher walks of an.
imal life, and whole communities
in the mink creation have been
brought to sorrow from the effects
of extensive adulation. In other
words, the demand for mink has
tended to surfeit the market, so
that prices are about twenty per
cent, lower than last year. In
style there is no essential change,
except that the balf-cape leads,
owing to the use of the modernized

The RIvER-FALIs INTO THE OCEAN.
Some idea Of the enormous quantity
of water that is perpetually flowing
into the oceans of the globe is de-
rived from the extent of its chief
river basins. The Rbone, for ex-
ample, drains the waters from an
area of 1000 square miles of coun-
try; the Rhine, which has a length
of 600 miles by its windings, drains
the water from a country of twice
that area and the Danube from
55, 900 square miles of surface; but
the waters from an area Of 800, 900
square miles fall into the st. Law
renee and those from 100000 of
square miles into the Mississippi,
which, by its winding, has a length
of 1850 miles. II is estimated that
1900, 900, 900 Of tons Of wuter fall
daily into the Mediterranean, which,
besides the great rivers that fall
into it, receives more than twenty
secondary rivers and innumerable
smaller streams. More than a
fourth of the river water Of all Eu-
rope fails into the Black Sea-

wAsuIseror, Nov. 26.-The President

the expediency Of recommending Congress

vention of the States.

whenever two-thirds Of both Houses shall
deem It necessary, or, on the application
Of tho Legislatures Of two-thirds Of the
several States, shall call convention for
proposing amendments, which, in either
case, shall be valid to all intents and pur-
poses, as part of this constitution, whom
ratified blythe Legislatures ofthree- fourths
ofthe several States, or by conventions in
three fourths thereof, a. the one or the
other mode of ratification may be proposed
by the Congress" The duty of Congress

The AMERICAN EAGLE.-A fine
specimen of this noble bird was Kill.
led a few days ago, on the Metal.
bany River, q mile or two above
Springfield. Whilst in the act of
eating duck he had just stricken
down, he was shot by Mr.. Benton
Cason. The eagle measured six feet
and half from tip to tip. It is al
most PITY, for mere sport, thus TO
kill our national bird, just at the
moment when most we want his
celestial protection |
So says the Springfield (Livings-
ton Parish La, Reporter.) With
him we lament the foul murder, Of
the noble bird, just, that Mr.. CasoD,
may have the credit Of killing him.
Reporter, should this reach you in
time, call q meeting of Ornitholo-
gists, and determine first, that the
bird, is not a buzzard. The ques-
tion settled-stuff him, pickle him,
preserve him, for future reference.

but 80 in nature. She may take a no.

consequence; but in this instance
II was evidently the purpose of
Sir Francis to present a book ac-
ceptable TO that class Of statesmen,
who claim to understand the origin
and cause of Strikes, and the laws
governing them. Indeed the law
of Strikes has been systematized,
generalized and codified by Eng
lish writer's, who have investigated
the great question of Capital VS..
Labor; which is 80 often thrust in
the face of the English nation,
shaking the very foundation Of their
system. The cause of Strikes has
been considered from the circum-
ference; most writers contenting
themselves with the Strike itself
the very mob in arms. Others trace
them TO the poor Laws" "The
Corn Laws" and the "Brcad Riots"
But beneath all the superficial
views, lie great questions, or rath-
er great stumbling blocks to the
true progress Of society in its de-
vclopment. Whether the fault is
with statesmen or theologians, or
both, concerns the great thinkers
of the age who do not belong to
either class, and have no fear to
grapple with questions which lie
deepest in the strata of society.
that they may be brought before
the tribunal of reason, to test their
merit and expose their error. The
Association of Bradford and the
Strikers Society may pass resolu-
tions, and Lord SALISBURY may go
down and say still more empbati-
cally, "Yo men of Bradford, don't
strike" The Right Hon. Sir J.
Napier may labor to show that If
the legal Sabbath were destroyed,
the Strikers would have to give
Seven days labor for six days
wages" and such logic may have a
restraining influence for an hour,
yet they, the lecturers must admit
that freedom gets out Of the har-
ness Of the law, and runs riot again,
in spite Of the argument.
The same questions meet us here.

been so common in the land of lib
