Boris CURED. John Minor Bolts,
OF Virginia, who promised 10 head
Capt. Tyler or die, bu. who failed to

robes about him, and committed po-
litical suicide. Mr.. Bolts was as bard
to kill off by his polilica! enemies
as the insects which bear his bam1;
but, like Caesar, he succumbs to the
blow Of an ancient liiend. The

SNUFF DIPpING IN New YoRK.-O!
this disgusting practice, sometimes
called snuff digging, the New York
Tribune says: "That our readers may
form some idea of the enormous prev.
alence of this habit in their midst,
We may state that one tobacconist,
having a small store en- Broadway, re-
tails one hundred pounds per week
to bic digging customers alone.
His snufling customers consume but
twenty five pounds. One firIn keep
ing store on The Bowery and anoth-
er down town, make and sell three
barrels GOO pounds) in the same
number Of days, all Of which is con.
sumed by women Of New York City.
The amount used by each "digger"
varies from one quarter of a pound
to pound per week."

An English View Of the impending

An English editor onligh.ens his
readers upon the subject of Ameri-
can affairs in the following strain:
The boastful Republic so much
Wanted by vain glorious Yankees,
seems on the brink of precipice,
from Which retreat viii be disgrace and
advance destruction. The very wi
sest of American Statesmen--Bon-
ner, the Smith Brothers, Aaron Burr
and Others-are wrangling In the
House Of Parliament 10 the Columbia
District, over a little volume called
the '.lmpending Crisis written by
an Octoroon, named Heifer, in which
i the author proves that, unless the
States south of the State Of New Or.
leans agree to abolish negro slavery,
the North will supply them with no
more shoe-pegs, and utter financial
ruin. will be the consequence. The
members of parliament who quarrel
over this singular book betray all the
American characteristics in their say.
age abuse of each other, and some-
times they come to blows. The Hon.

named Asking was detected in the
act Of throwing sway heavy rifle,
which he bad previously managed to
carry in ii pocket made expressly for

Though we have no particular faith
in the stability of wha. the Ameri-

CORRUPT LEGISLATORS. Probably
Of all the corrupt Legislatures that
ever met in Albany, the most cor.
rupt was that which has but just ad.
journed. The N. Y. Sun intimates
that some Of them may yet be
brought to justice. 1t says:
Attorney General Myers has been
furnished with evidence believed to
be sufficient to secure the indictmert
and punishment Of Blk State Senator'S
and eight members of Assembly for
corruption in the performance Of their
Legislative duties. during the ses.
sion just closed. The names of
these wrong doing Legislators have
been furnished US, but, for the pres
ent we withhold them, trusting
that the necessary evidence will ac-
cumulate, so as to cut of every pos

CoNvERrfEe The .JEws.-We see
IL started that mission to the
Jews dwelling in New York, com.
posed in part of emigrants from
almost all nations, has been estab-
lisbed under The auspices Of the
Episcopal Church. The number of
Jews resident IN New York is rs.
600. Considering this as a field
and centre for evangelizing, com
mittee has been formed to have the
oversight and management of a
Church Mission, and Rev JoHN G.
JAooB, has been selected as its first
missionary.
We cannot say that we have any
particular acquaintance with the
history Of the several benevolent
enterprises which have been set
on foot in England and the United
States. TO convert the Jews,v but
TO the best of our knowledge. the
fruit of oil such enterprises has
been exceedingly meagre. The
Jews are not such strangers in our
midst as to leave us in any doubt
as to what ney think of such oper-
atiOns. Pretty generally they are
intelligent and high spirted-bav-
ing not a little Of tb6 sense and
priR not to say stifI.neckedness,
Of their ancestors and regard these
attempts to convert them, which
put them on a footiong with Pag-
ans OF the Pelew Islands, as insult
ierable arrogance on the part of
the professors Of another faith
Considering tho character of the
Jews, it may be deemed highly
probable, at least humanity speak
ing, that, If they ever ms body
become christians, their CONVEX
sion will be wrought by internal
forces, aud will not result from any
direct missionary enterprise. Such
at least is the experience Of one
century--if not of more than one.

ly respectable gentleman of Louis
vile, pow in California, writes as
follows in reference to the Washoe
silver mines, the reports from which
have turned half the people Of the
State crazy
The WashOe silver mines still
continue TO produce great excite
ment, and the various routes in Car
son Valley are crowded with tray
elers on horseback, and some on
foot with their freight wagons
When the silver ore was first dis
covered at what ia now marked ou,
as the "COmstook Lead" the peo.
pie became wild with excitement.
and a general rush was made there
by spectators from this city. In
few weeks several fortunes were
made in ro-sellipg claims. Thus,
while a few may realize fortunes.
thousands will regret they ever
went there. The excitement is kept
up by few adroit speculators.-
A speculator goes TO his friend and
takes his note for $500, 900 payable
nobody knows when, and then gives
him n deed of u half interest in 200
feet, STIMULATING in the same that he
has sold half of n certain claim for
s75, 900, S25, 900 cash, the balance
in q note for $4,000, rhen reaby
there is no sale al all. This friend
then comes into market, shows his
title, DC, explains all about the re-
ported riches Of the lead, and dupes
some unsuspecting individual into
the purchase of one-half of his half
for, say $40, 900. part cash, and the
balance on long time. This is the
management resorted to- Two or
three hundred beartless spectators
are now transacting business in
this way at the Wasboe mines
Those duped turn around and dnpe

ton 60 California, it is downright
swindling to inditc such hattering
accounts OF the country as appears
in papers here, when hundreds and
thousands of laboring men arc out

surplus population, and every steam

Der of half starving people.
There are many persons employ

population; and there are more
thefts committed within her gates

There are also medals Of different dc.
