The COLLECTING DoDGE.-Tbe Ma
tional Intelligencer states, that du
ring the last two years, man repre-
senting himself as Judge j. B. I'm
derwood, has been collecting money
without authority, for the Ladies
Mount Vernon Association. He is
known to have collected two or three
thousand dollars 10 Missouri and Ill.
inois, and has been heard of in New
Jersey, Texas, and Indiana. He is
swindler, and the public are cautioned
against him. This is not the only
case of the kind, nor are those who
|aet without "authority" the only par
tiles who make good thing Of levy
ing contributions on the public fol
ostensible objects of charity or gene
raj concern. There are many com.
plants of the high per centage re-
quired to collect the revenues Of the
States and nation; but the expense is
scarcely any thing in the comparison
with the cost Of raising and disbur.
sing funds, by private hands, for OBJ
jsots Of public interest and charity.
Of course, there are many exceptions
to the rule; but in the long ron
charity and benevolenee are under a
high tariff.

PREVENTION OF A REVOLT IN THE
Ono PRNITENrIARY.-The Columbus
papers state that q contemplated re-
volt of the convicts of the Ohio Pen.
itentiary was discovered and frus-
trated by the Warden few days ago
through one of the prisoners. The
scheme was to have been executed
last Saturday night. 1t was con-
cocted by convict named Blackburn,
from GaIlia County, through whom
all the conyicts we're advised of the
conspiracy. The rascal proposed to
overpower and kill the guards, when
all were assembled in the vast dining
room, then force the large gate at
the South East corner, kill the guards
on the walls, if necessary, and when
outside of the walls every man take
care of himself. The discovery Of
the plot by the Warden, however,
frustrated the design, and on Satur.
day evening, when each company Of
men we're told by their guards of the
discovery, more chop-fallsn looking
set Of villains could not be imagined.
Previously, however, the ringleaders
had been taken from the shops and
dungeoned, where a little restriction
will probably be exercised. The
number Of male convicts in the Pen
iteDtiary is LOGO.

Who were the mighty men of that

hands we're stretched forth to strip
the pontifcal robes from that graceless

Who were the bold preachers Of that

the usurpatiops Of priestly power,

rites of Romanism? English church

do you borrow the weapon where

something like this, they should
cease to make the charge Of Roman

this church. 1t is said our ministers
go to Rome. Admitting that such
may have been the fact in some in

it show tina. ours is a school of Pa

POLITICAL ITEMS.

81 The Republicans are making despe-
rate efforts to regain the ground they have
lost in the Brown raid, by unearthing one
of the fossil remains Of the old Wing party
aud setting il up as their candidate for the
Presidency. So great has the Conservative
pressure become by reason Of their ultraisms
that the Black Republicans are fully con-
vinced Of the utter impossibility Of electing
an honest exponent OF their principles. Even
Seward. himself the great high priest Of ia
nataeism, gives il up. The burthen Of his
late speech in the senate was conservatism
and nothing else. The irrepressi bic con-
fiet" doctrines, which be has heretofore sus-
tained with such boldness, were completely
ignored and 'he roared as gently as suck
ing dove" The people see quite plainly
through all this "mAnevering" and will
not be caught by the dainty bait which is to
be placed before them.

FEMALE SEMINARY.

Miss NJ. V. Compton, who has been teach
ing private school in this place. for some
two years, is making arrangements to open
first class Female Seminary. With this
view she has purchased the spacious resi-
dence, recently vacated by Mr.. John Parker
which is now being remodeled and enlarged,
to ft ii for its new use. The location, be-
ing little retired, and so elevated as to
command fine prospect Of the town and
surrounding country, is one the most desir-
able that could be found in the mountains :
and surely. as a place for mountain resi-
dence, Grass Valley has no superior in the
State. The house will be fitted up with es-
pecial reference 10 the accommodation Of
boarders from a distance, who may desire to
avail themselves of the advantages Of the
School.
Miss Compton has had much experience as
teacher, both at she East aud in Califor-
MIA. She will be assisted by her sister, also
an experienced teacher, now at the East, but
who will be here previous TO the opening Of
the School aud such other assistance will
be procured as the wants of the School may
require. 1t is the intention to make it equal
to any institution OF the kind in the State.
In addition to the usual English branches
the higher grades OF mathematics will also
be taught, together with music, painting,
drawing and the modern languages. Due
notice will be given of the opening, which
will take place as soon as the necessary
building Accommodations can be completed.
