RsY~ We notice by the papers that the
movement to revive the military spirit is
going on all over the State. This partly
results from the interest in the subject ex-
cited by the Military Convention held last
fall in indianapolis, partly from the de-
sire TO draw the proportion Of the new arms
to which the several counties are entitled,
and partly from the prospect Of trouble in
the future. To these motives we may add
the ambition of certain individuals through
out the State to give themselves promi-
neuce

than it would have been for the same
services if Mr.. McMicken had been alive.
The aggregate Of these, including $57s,
for the commission Of the executors is $ls,-
sT2. But the item of $4,000 for the extra
service of the executors in taking care of
the property was too trifling to cut up into
particulars. The cash which this charge
leaves on hand is $693 So which shows that
the charge was scrupulously exact.
The receipts of the property were nearly
all from the sale of stocks. As one of the
executors was the stock broker it will be
seen that the executorship was most admir-
ably arranged for the execution of this trust.
The commission for the sale of the stocks
is not included in the expenditures; the net
proceeds only being returned. The manner
in which this trust is carried out is cal
culated to encourage our men Of wealth to
leave their property to found benevolent in
stitutions in our city.

The Catholic Bishop (Spalding)of Louis
vile, has addressed a circular to the clergy
and laity on the subject of mixed marriages
that is, the marriage of Catholics with men,
bers of sects or with infdels-showing what
is undoubtedly true; that such union must
result in an irrepressible conflict, if both par
ties retain their belief, not only concerning
their own faith, but in regard to the religious
education of their children, which naturally
results in the indifference of the parents to
all religion, and the children usually "grow
uD either indifferentists or infdels." The
Bishop shows that these marriages are con-
trary to the rules Of the Church. and declares
the laws of the Church without sufficient
reason"
These marriages have always been consid-
cred Objectionable by the Church. st. Paul
positively enjoined, "Be not yoked with I'M
believers" His injunction lost some weight
from his general radical views on the sub
iect of matrimony, and his low estimate of
women; but no one doubts the evils that
result from such yoling. Also, the most
recently organized of any of the great sects,
the Methodist, recognized the evil by putting
its members back on probation, for such
marriages. When there are so many legal
and social metes and bounds to which the
affections are made to conform which show
that they are not intractable, it would seem
that they might also conform to the rules of

Lord PuImerstOn on the Prince of waIcs's


Lord PnImerston on the Prince of walcs's
Visit TO America,
At public banquet in London, Lord Pal
merston thus alluded to the reception of the
Prince of Wales in America:
You have alluded to an event which has
awakened the deepest interest in the mind
of every Englishman. | mean the visit OF
the Prince Of Wales to the North American
Continent. 1t was to be expected that when
the future hope of England visited the sub.
iects of Her Majesty in our North American
Provinces he would be received with that
enthusiastic affection which becomes loyal
and attached people. Our anticipations have
not been disappointed. The reception of the
Prince has been worthy of the people who
gave it and honorable to the family of which
he is so distinguished a member; and we may
hope that that visit will cement more closely
those ties which, trust, are long destined
to bind together that portion of the Queens
dominions and the mother country.
But we had not an equal right to expect
that when his Royal Highness visited the
United States he would be received with any
thing more than the courtesy which civilized
nations accord to distinguished members Of
the reigning family of another country. But
must say that it has been most gratifying
to witness the cordiality, the heartfelt kind
ness, Jut BCu6lOuo hOopleoiAeJ ehhu soy
the enthusiastic delight with which that
illustrious Prince was welcomed by our
cousins in the United States.
They have shown themselves, indeed, to
be noble and generous people-they have
shown that they have not forgotten the COM
mon stock from which they and we have
sprung; and, in spite Of events. which, if not
buried in oblivion, might have produced
some slight alienation between us, they re-
ceived our future Sovereign-and trust
that future may be long distant-they re-
ceived the eldest son of our gracious Sover-
ereign, not as if he were stranger belonging
to another land, but as if he had been born
in their own country, and had been citizen
of their own Republic.
trust, gentlemen, that the remembrance
of the generous kindness thus exhibited by
the people of the United STATES will ever be
cherished by the people of these kindoms. I
believe the memory Of the Princes visit will
long survive in the breasts of the American
nation, and that these mutual recolections
will tend more closely than ever to knit to-
gether those two great branches of the same
noble and will say illustrious stock.

Tie Kentucky Reauisition Case.

The Louisville journal states that the re-
fusal of Governor Dennison, of Ohio, to de-
liver up Kentucky fugitive from justice,
who had been indicted for stealing slaves,
on the ground that it was no crime under
Ohio laws, is sustained by Kentucky pre-
cedent, in which Governor refused to COM
ply with a requisition for fugitive, indicted
for kidnapping free negro in Indiana, on
the ground that it was no crime under Ken
lucky laws. This would show that Gov.
Magofin is little fast in the fuss he is max
ing over this affair.
1t is our belief that both these acquisitions
should have been complied with. But the
stealing of a negro slave (when there is no
disinterested philanthropy in the case } is
no greater crime than stealing horse of the
same value; while to kidnap free man and
sell him into slavery is just so much worse
than murder as death is preferable to loss of
liberty; for particulars of which see the
Fourth of-July orations and current South
ern literature. If Governor Magoffin's
"wrong" is to be the subject of any new
compromise or legislation, it is very likely
that the Indiana "wrong" will raise sub.
iect for new provisions.

Tho Financial Effect of DisuniOn in the
North and South.

The New Orleans Crescent observes:
1t is well known that the South is the
market where Northern manufacturers sell
the most oftheir wares, and that fthis market
were taken away from them, they could not
find a market any where else. But unless
they sell their manufactures they will be
unable to buy breadstuffs. Suppose these
manufacturing establishments broken up,
what would become ofthe people2 There is
not New England State, except, possibly,
Maine, where food enough is produced for
the people. They have to import largely of
breadstuffs every year frsm the Western
States, and even from Virginia and North
Carolina. But their ability to buy bread
stuffs depends upon the sale of their man.
ufactures. Let she South, as she may easily
do, cease TO be market for New England
manufactures, and the poorer classes there
would be reduced to the necessity of either
emigration or starvation. This is so, and
the Tribune knows it. As "Claude Melnotte"
says to Pauline" How likest thou the pic
tureW
Now, let the Tribune, and every body else at
the North, understand one thing of which
they all seem to be profoundly ignorant
And that is that there is not Southern
State that can not easily produce four times
the necessary quantity of breadstufs for
the consumption of Its people. The great
agricultural States of Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennessee, North Carolina and Missouri, in
all of which every kind of cereal is easily
produced, could furnish grain enough for
the South, even if the other States did not
produce bushel. They can raise hogs and
beef cattle, too, enough to supply their popu-
lation in meat Wait till the census statis-
tics are published, and all this will be per-
fectly apparent. The South need not depend
upon the North for q single thing to eat, and
in very few years will not

A MAN PURSUED BY PANTHER IN New

in the woods, about eighteen miles from

and savage-looking panther, which, as he
approached pile of lumber, was discovered
sitting upon the further end of it. The man
Immediately took Off his coat, flourished it
violently, and hallooed with all his might.
At this the panther disappeared. The man
then hurried on, but had not proceeded a
great distance before he again saw his four
footed enemy in advance of him. Again he
took off his coat, and shook it defantly at
the beast, which again made tracks for the
woods. The man knowing that a house was
not far away made toward it. When within
sight of it, he turned and looked behind
him, when, lol the panther was stealthily
following him, and at distance of only
fifteen feet. His coat was again brought
in requisition, and was shaken as before, ac-
companied with loud cries. This time the
animal left with precipitation; the man
hurried to the house. and fell to the floor
with exhaustion. The neighborhood is
aroused, and diligent search is making for
the beast.
