A Republlcan Paper IN Kentuekx.

Thomas l.. Dawson, editor of the Louis
vile, KY, Democrat, has published his val
edictory, stating, in effect, that after issuing
that paper for more than two years as a
moderate Douglas man, he can no longer
do so "for conscience sake" He proposes
to start straight-out Republican paper in
Clay County, and says:
"To carry double face during the com
ing great struggle between right and wrong
in our opinion would be highly criminal
therefore, we were very glad to sell out a
the first oportuuity, that We might have ou
limbs free to fight on the side of right a
the next election; as also that each party
might have paper to represent them"

PET BmDs.--Caged birds are the source
Of pleasure, and while they give great hap-
piness if they are kept in good healthy
condition, seem to enjoy life nearly, il not
quite as we'll, as their mates in the bush or
the wildwood--especially il, either from
lack Of memory or from blissful ignorance,
the Gagged birds do not know what pleasure
they lose, "Whero ignorance is bliss, It's
folly to be wise." One Of the great draw
backs to tho happiness Of birds, and to the
pleasure Of keeping them, is lice, and hav-
ing recently learned Of safe and sure way
of removing them, we give it to our read
ers. The Michigan Farmer says:
"Lay piece Of Canton or cotton fan
mel over the cage at night, several nights in
succession, taking it off at daylight Null
titudes Of the lice will be found upon il,
which are easily killed. After few days
all will be removed. A case in which this
was very successful has just been brought
to our notice; from a pair Of bob-o-links
hundreds of these parasites were removed
in this way"

wretchedness, Of bitter, excruciating agony,
and live live on, and on, until life becomes
a weary burden we bear about, because we
cannot lay il down. Frank walked on,
almost unconsciously, until he came to q
little sylvan nook, 'Minnie's' favorite resort,
where were many little mementos and ar
rangements, and pretty contrivances, cozy
seat, and tiny work table, meath bower Of
wild eglantines, and a cabinet for her own
hand to store from natures pleasant wilds,
with every thing to her attracting and worth
preservation, and in fact almost any thing
you could think would render such a spot
charming to such sprightly, merry self as
our darling little snow Bird Here he sat
himself down, and mid these surroundings,
no wonder there came to him first feeling
Of keenest woe, which almost deprived him
of all sense, then one Of bitter, stern re-
sentiment, wish for revenge-then sweet,
soothing, quiet calm, and then the worn,
weary frame, found here for little time
rest, lulled by tho gentle goddess sleep
When he again awoke, and came back to
lfes stern realities, he found it was nearly
noon by his time, and so fastened back to
the house. Nell who was nearly disheart-
ed by his long absence, came down the walk
to meet him and tell him Minnie was bet
ter now, and wished to see him. On hear
ing this joyful, unexpected news, he mur-
murs Kind Heaven be praised. Oh God,
thou art indeed merciful. Help me to say
Thy will be done, and tears Of gratitude fill
his eyes, When he enters 'Minnie's' room,
she feels troubled at his wan, haggard look,
and in sympathy for him, forgets her own
suffering. Poor boy, come here. Why,
where was you all the morning? You've
had nothing to eat, and are most dead with
this great affliction. Set down here, and
'NelP will bring you some refreshment.-

CAUTION TO MoTHERs.-On Tuesday
last, child of Paul Derrer, who lives near
this city, went to a leach the mother had in
operation, and drank an unknown quantity
of very strong ley. The young mother,
with remarkable presence of mind, within
a few seconds, had it drenched with strong
vinegar forcing the child to swallow about
a half-tumblerful, thus neutralizing the ley
and producing free vomiting, and afterwards
giving it milk. A physician was immedi-
ately sent for, who found but little to do be-
yond commencing the efficient treatment Of
the mother. He states that if, after the
drenching with vinegar, melted lard or but
ter, or sweet oil, had been freely used, in
stead of milk, the treatment would have
been complete. The child is still living
but is in a critical condition. Col. Jour.

BLACK AND BLUE.


by WILLIAM WINTER
"And to look on pair of bright black eyes is the III
Of pair of blue ones."-GoErHE.

Here's health to the lassie with merry black eyes
Here's health to the laddie with blue ones
And here's to first love as its sparkes and nesl
And here's to the hearts that are true ones
o yes-to the h. arts that are tender andtrue
With affection that nothing can smother
To the eyes of the one, that brilliant and blue,
And the merry black eyes Of the other
II.
Now mind you, my laddie whose eyes are blue,
That however the Graces invite you,
There is nothing for you in this world that will do
But a pair Of black eyes to delight you
And mind you, my assie whose eyes are black,
In pair of blue eyes to discover
THAT light ofaTecton you never should lack,
And-you'll always be true to your loveri
ILL.,
Long, long shall your eyes sparkle back with kiss
To the eyes that live but to behold you'll
Long, long shall the charm ofyour mutual bliss
In heaven Of splendor enfold you
For this is the thought OF poet wise,
OF poet whose thoughts are true ones,-
That to look on a pair Of merry black eyes
Is the life of pair OF blue ones

A Slave burned al the stake.

The Vicksburg Sun has come in posses
sion of the following facts in relation to the
burning of a negro man at Mr.. Woolfolk's
plantation on Deer Creek. 1t seems that
the negro thus summarily dealt with was a
vicious, self-willed fellow, and becoming Of
Tended at woman (black) on the same
plantation, walked up 10 her as she was work
ing in the field and deliberately plunged
the knife into her breast.
Upon perpetrating this bloody deed he
fled to the woods, not, however, before Civ
ing several other negroes to understand
that their time would come next, and after
them two white men living hard by. Dogs
were put on his tracks, and after chase of
several hours he was captured, though not
without desperate struggle-the pursuers
being put to all they knew to take him
alive. Having securely bound him they
took him back to the plantation to consider
what was best to be done in his case.
Several highly respectable gentlemen
were present at the council, who concluded
that the severest punishment possible should
be inflicted upon the black desperate, who
had for so trivial a cause taken life, as i
might be the means Of repressing at oncc
any similar ebullition of passion on tho
part of other desperate negroes in thu
neghborhood.
They decided to burn him at the stake
which was done in the presence of all tho
negroes on that and several of the adjoin
ing plantations, all of whom seemed terri
fed out of their wits on viewing so awful {
scene. The spirit of the doomed negrC
never was subdued. He died cursing hi
judges-his last words being that he would
stake vengeance on them when they me

A sad event happened at Albion, New

there lost her boy, child of three years,
The neighbors turned in large numbers and
sought for him during day and two
nights; on the second day he was found
dead, in ditch, within half mile Of his
homo. He had clearly died Of starvation,
after having vainly endeayored to escape
from the pit into which he had fallen.

Fillibusterism not Dead.

The cruel death Of Gen. VIM. Walker
by the Central Americans, has aroused the
sympathy and indignity of some of his old
companions in arms. Gen. Henningsen, in
a late letter, in vipdication Of this noted
fllibuster, concluds rs follows:
SO far from fllbusterism being laid in
the grave of William Walker, it may safely
be predicted that from every drop of blood
shed from the death wounds, inflicted, as
we are informed, amidst the cheers of the
natives," to whom he had been delivered up,
bound, by the infamy of NorvclI Salmon,
will spring another ardent iillibuster. II ~
well that its now exultant enemies abroad
and at home should know, and am in the
position TO inform them, that it's views are
in nowise changed, its spirit in nowi,e i'm.
paired, So far from being depressed by re.
cent events, since the first repor, Of Wal.
ker's execution, and especially of its occur.
renee through British interference, have
been overwhelmed by communications from
men impatient for immediate action, arid
most eager, personally, forthwith at all haz.
ards. to depart for the scene of the late
tragedy, or from others anxious to counten.
ance and support them. TO these all re.
ply here to bIde their time. When that
time comes, their cause will not want either
followers or leaders.

Minute Men ~

This is the significant name Of an organi-
cation lately established in Richland District.
The example is being followed by other
Districts. The Carolinian Of the lath inst =,
says:
On last evening, the organization of the
Minute Men of Richland marched in torch.
light procession through the principal streets
of the city. There were about three hun.
dred in ranks, making very imposing and
brilliant display. They each wore a red
scarf, with the letters NJ NJ. imprinted on it,.
The organization is rapidly extending
through the State and the South. 1t is de-.
signed as IN organization for the preserva
ton Of the interests and institutions of the
South and the formation of Southern
Confederacy. The recent elections will
doubtless stimulate its growth, and we
would not be surprised if, in month, with
proper drill and discipline, it furnishes an
army strong enough 10 maintain any inde-
pendent move that may be made by the
Southern States.

Hon. L T Wigfall.

This distinguished statesman, we learn
from the Jackson Mississippian, delivered
an address upon the topics of the day, in
that city, on the 22d utimo. We wish
every intelligent man and oman in NIissis-
sippi, says the Mississippian. could have
heard it. 1t is by long odds, the nbesi
most compact, powerful and s,atesman'ike
speech which We have read since the opening
of the CANVASS. 1t was Il discussion Of
great fundamental principles, and their ap.
plicability to existing affairs. Besides, it
was Il thorough ard severe review of the
claims and pretcntions to public considera
ton and confidence of the several parties
and factions which are conlendng for su-
premacy in the Government. A statesman
of the strictest State Rights Calhoun school,
he accords to the candidates of the National
Democracy, Breckinridge and Lane, and to
the platform on which they stand, his un-
qualified support; and, with cogency of
logic and an earnestncss of appea. which
seem to us irresistible, he calls upon South
ern men Of all parties to cooperate with
him, rs the only means Of saving the Union
from the destruction which inevitably a.
waits it if Lincoln should succeed in the
Presidential election.

THE CURSE.

May soothing sleep desert his eye,
And peace depart his pain torn breast;
May he hate even life, but dread to die,
And may he feel and know no rest.
Remorse, dire demon, drive him forth,
Wild through the winters pelting storm
Unclad, at midnights dreary hour:
And may he find III every form
That fear can frame, frightfu sprite
Fresh from the grave Of the good and just
He has so tortured and deceived.
And may he teel and know he Is cursed.
May the burning curse of Isreal's God
Sweep DER the pathway of this fend,
Like hot Iaharra's fell simoOn
And may his horrors have no end,
Until in tears before his God
He humbIy bends the suppliant knee,
And writhing, whitening begs for that
lie feels and knOrS can never be.

The Northern Elections.

Late dispatches indicate that Pennsylva.
MIA, Indiana and Ohio have voted the Black
Republican ticket. They claim to have
carried the State Of Pennsylvania in the
gpbernato rial election by 25 900 majority,
and to have elected from l8 to 90 of their
candidates for Congress. In Indiana, it is
said, they have undoubtedly swept the State
by 10000 majority, and have elected out
OF ii CongressmeR. The Legislature is
Black Republican.
With Pennsylvania rests the course of
the South the result in that State IS con.
sidered by the South as conclusive of the
result IN November. If she CASTS her vote
for Lincoln, then there is not a shadow of
doubt as TO his election! Some of the
Southern States viewing this matter Alright
are using the caution to advantage, by arm
ing themselves for the struggle which must
inevitably come upon u.s. Procrastinaton
is foolish and !pdiscreet, in our judgment, of
this all important move on the part of the
South. We should not wait until the bloc.
dy banners OF tho foe are floating over our
heads and their battle axes resoundng
against our doors before we arm ourselves.
No! Let us prepare for the struggle. meet
them on our border territory, and show
them courage such as has never before
been displayed upon the battle fields Of our
country. Convince them that when the
South raises her sinewy arm in unity, she
can demolish them with single stroke.

The Survey-the Depot.

We learn that the surveyors had reached
point four miles below the Village up to
Saturday night last Contrary to the ex.
pectations and wishes Of some Of our citi.
zens, the route was located upon the wes-
tern instead of the esstorn side of tie
town-after using, it is said, every exer.
ton to come in on the eastern side. The
location selected by the superintendents for
this District, for the depot. after examina
tion, was found to be Ils feet above the
surface Of the bottoms on Gii's Creek-a
distance of one mile from the Village
The failure to locate the depot at the seec
ted spot, may prove disadvantageous ir
some respects; but if we are favored will
road, the location Of the depot is mat
ter Of secondary consequence.
