THE HERO OF TIE BROKEN HEAD.-Mr
Charles Sumner, the great martyr of the Black
Republican party, the hero of the broken head,
and fugitive from his native land hassignalized
his return to the United States Senate in
worthy his fame martyr invalid and interesting
tourist. He has occupied quiet seat during the
present session, bis head has ceased at last to
bleed and SO has Kansas, and not word has
Sumner had to say of John Brown or the impending
Crisis since his re-appearance in the Capital. We
might have expected something from him in regard
to his travels, the awful surgical operation he
underwent in Paris, his interviews with Louis
Napoleon and Lord Palmerston, and so forth, and
his friends and supporters in New England had
right to look for speech from him in which he
should vilify South Carolina after the old fashion,
Just by way of showing that the surgical operation
had fullyrcstored him to his faculties. But Sum-
ner has been a silent member-whether because
he has really nothing to say, or because he is mind
full of other gutta percha canes and resolute arms
in the otherw of the building, we pretend not
to determine.

COOP ADvIcE,-Girls, let us tell you a stubborn
truth. No young ever looked well, to
a sensible man, as when dressed in plain, neat,
modest attire, without single ornament aboutih iher
person. She looks then though she possessed
worth in herself, and needed no artificial rigging
to enhance her value.-If a young woman would
spend as much time in cultivating her mind,
training her temper, and cherishing kindness,
meekness, mercy and other good qualities, as most
of them do 10 extra dress and ornaments increase
their personal charms she would at a glance be
known among thousand-her character would be
read III her countenance. That's SO.

ANOTHER FIRE IN ELIZABETH CITY.-A cor
respondent of the Norfolk Argus, writing from
Elizabeth City under date of the 4th inst, says:
The citizens of ill-fated town again
summoned to witness the heartless and heinous
work of incendiarism on Saturday night last, at
the early hour offs o'clock The fire occurred in
the large and beautiful brick building water
street, owned and occupied by Dir W. II. Clarke,
Machine Shop and Agricultural depot. The
flames spreading furously when first discover
ed, and for the timely arrival at the spot of our
fremen, the entire square of buildings, no doubt,
would have been consumed AS it was, however,
the house of Mr. Clarke partially saved, but
bis loss from injuries sustained by the exertions to
save the house, will be heavy. We know not
what danger threatens citizens property; and
that We require thorough investigation, and great
vigilance is very evident"

WEARY OF LIFE,

Weary of life, yet fondly to it clinging;
Weary of life, yet weeping at its close;
Dreading the hour that our last rest is bringing,
Urging its coming, fearing its repose.
Weary of life, yet begging it to tarry:
Weary of life, yet trembling at its flight;
Staggering meath burdens that we cannot carry,
Weary of life, yet dreadng more the night.
Weary of life! 0, Father in high Heaven,
Bridge DER the darkness with one ray of light:
Weary of life, o, keep me at its even
Oh, give me stars with my untraveleG night.

Presidc"t-The House passed resolutions, with
but two dissenting votes. substantially the as
those already passed by the Senate, ordering the
Governor to call State Convention in the event a
Black Republican should be elected to the Presi-
dency. So it is clear that Alabama is determined

BURNT TO DEATH.-A Correspondent informs
us that the house of Mr. Jonathan Holleman. near
New Hill, Wake county, was burnt up on the
morning of the 9th ult, and that he was consumed
in it. When the fire was discovered by the neigh
bors the house enveoped in flames, and
though the inmate was heard to cry aloud for as
sistance yet the fire had so far advanced as to rem
der assistance impossible. Mr. Hoeman was
about 20 years Of age and resided in the house

subscription. After while the interest these
bonds became somewhat burdensome on the peo-
pie and they refused to levy the necessary tax to
pay it. The Supreme Court thereupon issued a
mandamus ordering the county Commissioners to
levy the tax. The Commissioners refused or
neglected to obey the mandamus, and the Court
has fined them $4,000 for the contempt. Served

NEGRos INCITED TO KILL THEIR OvERsEER BY
AN ABoLITIoNIsT.-We learned the particulars Of
the tragedy enacted in Ashley County, Arkansas,
which has created great excitement in that ocali
ty. Jasper Murray, overseer of Samuel NJ. Carter
of Georgia, who has recently settled plantation
in Arkansas, killed by the negroes on the place
a few days since. Inquiries instituted developed
the fact that the crime was committed at the in
stigation of an Abolitionist named Sneed, who
promised the negroes that if they would kill the
overseer and get his money, he would carry them
to free State. Five Of the negroes and the white
man arrested and in Jail at Hamburg,
Ashley County. AS before stated, the most in
tense excitement prevails in the neghborhood, and
it would not be surprising if Sneed met his deserts
in most summary manner.

EARLY Corn PLANTING.-The Spring has come
at last mild and genial, the fruit trees bloom
ing, the bluebirds mating and the farmers are busy
at their Spring work. We noticed day or two
ago that several farmers in Columbia county are
already planting corn. and during this week ma
jority of them will finish that work.
The old Indian rule was to plant corn when the
oak leaves as large squirrels ear, but the
rule is to plant early possible especially
upon old land; and it is always safe, we think, to
plant in this section by the first of March, if the
ground be dry The weather now is very propi-
tious, and the land in fine order but notwithstand-
ing the teachings of experience, people are pre-
pairing to plant as much cotton as usual and only
enough corn to satisfy their wants, fthe season
suits-Amyusta Chronicle.

THE PRESENT PROSPECTS OF JOHN DEAN, ESQ
The death of Nh Boxer, the wealthy wine
merchant whose daughter few years since
ried his coachman John Dean, naturally revives
little chat in reference to that romantic affair The
impression seems now to prevail, that, SO far as
her own happiness is concerned, Miss Boxer did
not, after all, make poor match. Her husband
after the marriage, was appointed to a clerk
ship in the custom house which he still holds, and
the duties Of which he discharges creditably to
himself, and with fidelity to the Government He
is modest, unassuming man, has quiet but COM
forable home in williamsburg is perfectly ire
proachabe in his habits and associations, minds his
own business, and is faithful and afectionate
husband He avoids notoriety Of every sort, and
pursues the way Of an upright, sterling man and a

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. I6.-The Senate, in executive
session. has confirmed the nomination Of Mr. Faulk-
ner rs minister to France.
. No action was taken on the motion to reconsider
the vote bv which Mr.. Grund rejected rs consul
to Havre They consider the case to be without
remedy,
Various private conferences took place on FRIDAY
among genticmaa representing different parties
with a view of agreeing on basis for the election
of a Speaker, but. As heretofore. without talola-
BILE result Several of the members 2yailed thom-
selves of the opportunity to offer proposition Of
practical character for that purpose. Among them
is Mr. Sicklcs whose resolution provides that then
House now proceed to the election Of q Speaker
riru r9ce and if upon the call Of the roll no one
shall have a majority. a quorum being present the
from those having the highest numbers Of the can
didates not exceeding three. the House viii proceed
second vote. and if neither has majority, then
from the two highest the House will make choice
of Speaker and also, if upon the third vote the
said tive persons shall receive an equal number the
House viii c0utiuGC 20 vote for one or the other Of
the same two persons until Gle OI them shall receive
a majority; and that pending the election. and until
a choice shall be made. there shall be no debate.
The most that is claimed for this proposition is
that 1t is in accordance with the constitutional mode
of eecting President by the House in the event Of
a failure by the people to do so; and the mode by
which the Senate chooses the Vice President in the
same contingency. Hon John COchrane. though
slowly recovering is still confined 10 his residence
