Latest Foreign News-ArrIval of the
Nova Scotia.

PORTLAND, Jan. %.
The steamer Nova Scotia, from Liverpool
on the 18th inst, via Queenstown on the
18th inst, has just arrived. The news is
unimportant.
A Paris despatch says it was growing
every day more doubtful whether the Con.
gress would assemble, and the Paris CORE
spondent of the London Times says the
chances of the Congress meeting were of the
most shadowy kind.
A French journal says the opinion of the
National, which was supposed to speak with
the same authority, believes that if Italy
decided for the annexation of the north and
center of the Italian Peninsula, England
would gladly accept the combination, whilst
France would accept it with still greater
eagerness, on condition that Savoy and Nice
would be restored to her.
Opinion does anticipate that the Cabinet
Of Turin would object, and argues that
neither Austria, Russia or Prussia has power,
will or right to interfere. dtab l !.

South they have made the division between
the two sections so complete that, as mem
Der OF Congress observed: even the disrup-
ton OF the Union would hardly make much
social difference, and all without the smallest
gain to the negro, but, on the contrary, to
his irreparable loss. Formerly the negroes
10 the northern slave States were not debar-
red from instruction. If master or a good
natured mistress chose, the slaves in family
might be taught to read and write, and of.
ten they were very fair proGcients. ..
But it is not only that the stringencv of
the slave-owner's rule has been increased
the change Of opinions in the free States is
a melancholy sign. The remarks of Mr..
O'Conror, which we have quoted, are but a
fair sample of what Americans have learnt
to thinksand say. The change is to be ais
most entirely attributed to the hatred of
abolitionists, for, however determined not to
NEEDLE with slavery as long as it produces
cotton and rice, the northerners would have
INDUCED the little hypocrisy of deploring it,
and making sentimental speeches about the
sad burden with which their forefathers, the
British, had saddied them. 1t is only DO
ltical animosity which has led to the adop~
ton of slavery as creed by the mass of
Americans, and yet there can be no doubt
that the adoption has really been made. Nor
is it mere barren belief; the }" bred Scott"
case shows that it has found its way to the
judicial bench, and it has been carried out
in the judgment which made so great sens
sation in Europe, and also in the great pc.
lt;cal measure which allows any new Ter
ritory to adopt slavery if it chooses. We
cannot congratulate the abolitionists on the
success of their exertions, which have
plunged the race they favor into deep dark.
ness, and have made the subsection of man
to man the belief of a Christian people.

Great 600 Dollars on the
Hartford Exchange Bank Of Indiana
tr sraf Discovered. ..i

From the Chicago Journal JAM h. =,
On Monday afternoon box came to the
Office of the United States Express in this
city, from Toledo, Ohio, directed to Charles
Sanford. The messenger of the company,
knowing young man in Palmer's store, on
Lake street, bearing that name, supposed the
box to be for him, and delivered it to him
accordingly. Mr.. Sanford opened the box,
and was astouished to find that it was
crammed with bank notes. Mr.. Sanford
having his suspicious that the money was not
genuine, took it to a bank. Here he was
informed that the money was worthless. Mr..
@. P. Bradley was sent for, and under his
direction the money was returned to the box,
which was taken to the Express Office,
where an officer was sent to watch for who
ever should come for it.
Ere long Mr.. Chas. Sanford, and Mr..
Lester: both gentlemen of high responsibility
and largely engaged in the grain trade in
this city, called at the Express Office and
asked for such box. 1t was produced, and
Lester paid the charges on it, and took it
away, SANFORD going with him. The parties
went together to MIR. Sanfords house, fol-
lowed by the detective, who Swallowed them
during the night. In the morning, Sanford
and Lester met Mr.. Bradley, and told him
that they had received such box of money,
and that they were employed by certain
man, who is understood to have been the
getter up of this bank, to buy up the bills for
him In the box was $50, 900, and they had
besides, $4,000 of the bills. The matter
was laid before Prosecuting Attorney
Haven, and under his directions warrant
was issued for the arrest of Messrs. Sanford
and Lester, charging them with having in
their possession spurious money, with intent
to pass the same.
Messrs. Sanford and Lester state that in
having this money in their possession they
had no fraudulent intent whatever-,hey had
never intended to pass it-but were simply
buying it up for the man who wished to
retire its circulation. They gave bail in the
sum Of $1,000 cash for their appearance this
afternoon. -5...
1t is but justice to Messrs. Sanford ard
Lester to say that the entire business CON-
munity acquainted with these facts, acquit
them of all blame in the matter.

A LOST LOVE.

From " Once Week."
So fair, and yet so desolate
So wan, and yet so young;
Oh there is grief too deep for tears,
Too seald for tell tale tongue a
With faded howeret in her hand,
Poor little hand so white
And dim blue eye, from her easement high
She looks upon the night.
Only little rosebud
Only simple flower
But it blooms no more as it seemed to bloom
Through many lone, lone hour;
As they flow d from her fever'd touch away,
The petals withered and brown, [dream' d
All the hopes she deem'd too bright to be
Sink trembling and futteriLg down.
1t needs no hush of the Present
To call back the sweet calm Past;
The lightest summer murmuring
May be heard through the wintry blast;
And the wind is rough with sob and with cough,
Tonight upon gable and tree,
Till the bare elms wall like spectres pale,
And the pines like passionate sea.
But she thinks of dreamy twilight
On the garden walk below;
Of the laurels whispering in their sleep.
And the white rose in full blow.
The early moon had sunk away,
Like some palo queen, to die
In the costly shroud of an opal cloud,
To the June airs tremulous sigh.
All, all too freshly real,
The soft subdued eclipse
Hand in hand, and heart in heart,
And the thrill of the welded lips.
Those tender memories, how they flush
Pale cheek and brow again;
Though heart be changed, and lip estranged,
That swore such loving then
lis but the old story,
Sung so often in vain
For man all the freedom of passion,
For woman the calm and the pain.
Tell it the soul whose grief is read,
In the poor, pale suffering face:
1t will still cling on to love that is gone
With the warmth of its first embrace.
Oh. It's well for the careless spirit,
To weave the web of rhyme
And prison the idle memories
That float on the beach of time.
But better for my aching heart,
If ever it might be so,
To forget, to forget the light that has set,
And the dream of long ago.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1860-02-10
