THE CANyAssIN THE so1rTH

IN any ana every contingency, may nave warped
our judgment in the premises; but the declension
of Gov. Fitzpatrick very serious incident
which we did not then fOresee; and the subsequent
developments of the Southern opinion have been
different from what we anticipated. In short the
aspects of the Southern quite other than
we then anticipated.
We exchange with most of the leading Demo-
cratic journals of the Slave States; and among
them all we recognize just two of established charac-
ter and decided force thasupport Douglas ard John
son. These the Mobile Register and the St Louis
Republican. The latter, though till recently Whig
is able and influential and its support gives Mr.
Douglas chance for the vote of Missouri The
former is also ably edited, but has never exerted
influence in Alabama, having been gen.
orally in the minority in its own party Its editor
Mr.. Forsyth, (son of the Hon. John FORSYTH, who
was Senator from Georgia, Minister to Spain, and
finally Secretary of State, J has, since his recall
from the Mexican Emba ~, been an ardent Doug.
las man on personal grounds, and the Democracy
of Alabama sympathize neither with his preference
nor his reasons.
We should judge from the indications that reach
US that Alabama would give more popular votes
for the Breckenridge ticket than for all Others.
Perhaps we should add Mr.. Soules organ, The
True Delta, at New Orleans, to the list of prom-
nent Democratic journals in the South that support
Mr.. Douglass and those who will may count The
Louisville Democrat in that category. If there be
any more, we do not know them. In South Caro-
ina there is journal that toerates the idea
of supporting Douglas in any contingency: il Mis-
SlSslppl we DeHeNe Ine state OF the case the
same; in kentucy, hear of no Douglas journal
but The Democrat aforesaid; in Tennessee, none
has yet been heard from; while we know that The
Union (Nashvile), The Arolanchc (Memphis),
and other leading journals. are out for Breckin-
ridge. From Virginia. we hear of no paper coming
out for Douglas, but all the other way;
and they include the mouth pieces of seveneighths
of the Democracy of that State, beginning with
The Emquirer and The Ernminer of Richmond, and
including The Southern Argus, Norfolk, The dra,te.
Wheeling, The Sentinel, Alexandria, &C. We be-
lieve there at least seventy-five Democratic
journals in the Old Dominion, OF which at least
seventy are out for Breckinridge
We had supposed that there would be at least a
sufficient vote for Douglas in this State to give its
Electors to Bell and Everett but there will not
breckenridge will carry it. We cannot speak so
confidently for North Carolina; but The Press,
Raleigh, Journal Wilmington, and Banner Sails
bury, are out for Breckenridge and none within
our knowledge for Douglas. Even in MARYLAND,
where the Douglas men divided the Delegation,
they do not seem to be sustained BY any considera-
BILE portion of the Democratic press; while in Del
aware, the Republican. Wilmington, goes decided
ly for Breckenridge, while it is not only the most
influential organ of Democracy in the State but
located just where Douglas should be strong if in
any part of it. Down at the lower end. which
sympathises with the Bay Counties of MARYLAND,
he stands no chance. -
From Florida, Arkansas and Texas, we have no
indications as yet; but Arkansas is the only one of
them in which Douglasism has ever had an eyist
ence, and here it has been decidedly in the minori
ty. Sam Houston is likely to carry Texas; if not.
Breckenridge will. Mr.. Douglas may carry Nilsson
ri, but we do not think he stands an even chance
to-day for one other Slave State. Should facts
transplre placing his prospects in more favorable
light we shall fairly and promptly present them
N. Y. Tribune
a MANS Economy COMPARED WITH WoMAN's.-There
IS also difference between the economy of the
two sexes Adopting the principle that it is a ru-
dimentary virtue, men soon begin to cast the bur-

friends. In the dawn of early youth, both sexes
,are ordinarily taught to keep accounts. In the
good moments of life which fortunately visit every
one IN turn many youths resolve to resume the
wholesome practice, and carry it on resolutely and
accurately Tor day or two. But then the fit sub
sides, and the account-keepng of most men gradu-
ally dwlndles down to the simple precaution of
keeping their gold in one pocket and their loose
silver In another. But the accounts of women con-
tlnue, and housekeeping forces them to book or
inspect the small items of a large expenditure II
curious to trace the effects which are relatively
produced by this abandonment of and persistence
IN account Keeping. We cannot dissociate from
their attention to household economy the wonder
inl courage which women display in the little con-
icts OF life. They trained to battle by the
labor they have undergone in examining, check
ing and reducing bills; and the woman who has
once bearded butcher or a baker is not likely 10
sink again to the level of that yielding timidity be-
iore imposing claimants which characterizes her
husband or brothers. No man, except perhaps
those gloomy and frm-ooking persons, who al
ways dine early of the joint at a club, ever gave
slxpence to cabman without a consciousness of
doing wrong, and nervous apprehension of con-
sequences. But woman would as soon give
cabman sixpence she would settle an ordinary
Dill. SO, too, their attention to household econn
my strengthens and hardens the character of wo-
men until they dare to engage in single-handed
COMBAT with the most fearful of all tOes-tbe land
lady of a seaside lodging house.
A poor creature who keeps his silver loose in
MS walstcoat-pocket is not very likely to remon-
strate when he is informed that his occasional chon
has necesitated the maintenance night and dav If

Ject when he sees himself charged with an amount
OF harveys sauce that would float his hat But
women rush to the charge, and treat the lonU naat
ly written bill with the same contempt and famili
arlty OF scorn that are exhibited by a suspicious
lawyer when lie holds up a gambling l. o. e. to
the gaze of an indignant jury. Let us admire the
courage ny winch we profit; but, at the same time,
we must remark that the habits of household econ
omy often lead to expense in a singular wav The
liking to get things cheap leads to the love of bar
gains, and the knowledge that so many thinps are
useful In family inspires hope that the most
useless things will come in somehow. OF course
the full price asked Tor bargain is never piven
ana the most disciplined bravery and astute ma
nGuVerlng are shown in beating down the bargain
er. Sun, the bargain is bought, and here for
once, the economical woman is less economical
than the loose svered man. The differences he
tween the two sexes may indeed be often stated
thus: man gives two shillings for an eighteen
penny thlng ne wants, and woman gives eighteen
pence Tor two-shillng thing she does not want.
The MUrENY ON THE SHIP KITTY SIMpsoY.-Tbe
1olioWlng particulars are given of the mutiny of
coolies on board the Kitty Simpson, at sea, on the
9TH Of March: 01 VIC
The mutiny commenced by one Of the coolies
rushlng alt and making desperate efforts to wrench
musket from one OF the sentries. As soon as the
rush was made he was quickly Joined by about
thirty other Cinnamon, who ATTEMPTED to force
open the barricade. The captain was the first one
to arrive at the scene of trouble with nothing else
IN ms hands than malacca cane. He made sever
al blows at the first cooe who still continued to
struggle, but was finally overpowered and made
prisoner, as was also another cOolie. Upon the
hrst rush being made aft, the coolies surrounded

below confined therein, by closing the doors and
1t was with much difficulty they made their exit
tnereirom; IN so doing many of them received
blows with pieces of wood. Most of them, howev-
er, managed to get aft. The seaman on the fore
castle was attacked by four or five; beino armed
ne lnnicted many wounds, but was wounded in the
thigh himself. seaman (named Pratt) in endea

three OF the coolies over the bows hanging to a
