Mills bronze equestrian Statue Of Wasl :
ing, in the Circle" at Washington, is the
continual subject Of critici,m-not general
ly, Of the most favorable kind. The artist
himself, we believe, thinks it is Il great
success"-and contends that he has, both
in rider and horse, "equalled his own con-
ceptions, and wrought work worthy of the
subject" The public on the contrary, obst-
nately contend that the design is faulty, TO
say the least Of the statue.

I ship, Pa, happened the other day to cross the
line into Harveytown, Va, where he was
seized by three brave men, and charged with
| being abolitionist and sympathizing with
| John Brown. Patterson, the Pennsylvania,
confessed that he was a Republican, and as
for John Brown, he believed "Gov Wise was
as big a fool as he was" Whereupon he was
saluted with a rope, and nearly straDgled be-
fore he could be rescued.

David Osgood, of Poughkeepsie, gentle
man of large property, lately left New Haven
for that city with considerable money in his
possession. Nothing has been heard of him
since, and it is feared that he has either COM
mitted suicide or been wayaid and murdered,
most probably the latter. Mr.. Osgood is about
40 years of age.

The State of North Carolina is more extern
sively engaged in cotton manufactures than

of the South" the number of bales was &c.
900.

The Legislature of Michigan, some months
