Ceremony of the Accommodation
of Victor Emmanuel.

VI iStOl
A correspondent of the Independence
Beige gives the following account of the
ceremony to be performed, in case the
Pope should resolve to excommunicate
the King of Sardinia;
"The ceremony will take place in st.
Peters Church, with great pomp. All
the Cardinals will be present; the whole
church will be yelled and torches ofyel-
low wax will be lighted and eXtinguished
one after the other. There will be a
grand procession of all the monastic Or
ders to Rome, who will afterwards depart
for their monasteries and converts, chant
ing the MiSerere as they pass through the
city. The person who gives me this in
formation does not think that the sem
tence Of excommunication will be pro-
nounced by the Pope himself, but by a
Cardinal selected for that purpose"
DeS. The Rev. Mr.. Corbitt, of the Green
street New York; NJ. Episcopal Church,
announces that on Sunday next, he will
preach sermon to "rhieves and Har-
lots" and all such are invited 70 be pre-
sent. The police also announce that they
will not interfere with any of either class
who may think proper to attend.
Bsy- There are some persons in the
world who never permit us to love them
except when they are absent; as, when
present, they chill our affection by want
Of appreciation Of it.

DISTURBANCE IN \ "RGLiGloUs' MEETING.
On Friday evening Elder Knapp deliv-
cred lecture in fremont Temple, Dos
ton on "Uniyesalism." The Traveller says
In his discourse he used some intern
pcrate language, which excited the indiG-
nation Of those of his audience who did
not agree with him. At the close of his
address, he called upon all who were con-
vinccd by his remarks to manifest it by
rising, and about one-half OF the audience
rose up.-Among those keeping their
seats were many Evangelical Christians
who did not approve OF his course. lie
then asked gentleman TO pray, pretac-
ing the request with observations that still
more excited the feelings of his hearers.
During the prayer there were some man
ilestations Of disapprobation, and at the
close outbursts Of indignation from all
parts Of the house. His friends respond
ed in defence of his course, and as both
parties were excited, there was fear of a
more serious disturbance, but the super
intendent shut off the gass, leaving all
alike in the dark, and the mingled NAL
edictions ceased, as friend and foe togeth-
er groped their way to the doors.

An ITEM FOR PRESIDENTIAL AsPIRANTs.-
The eminent writer in the Federalist
makes some suggestions in relation to
the Presidency which ought to be seri-
ously pondered in these latter days.
He says: "The Office of President will
seldom fall to the lot of any man who
is not in an eminent degree endowed
with the requisite qualifications. Tai
ents for lou intrigue, and the Hnte arts Of
popularity, may alone suffice to elevate a
man to the first honors Of single
State but it will require other talents
and different kind of merit to estab-
lsh him in the esteem and confidence
of the whole Union, or of so consider
able portion of it as would be neces-
sary to make him successful candidate
for the distinguished Office of President
ofthe United States"

A DEMOCRATIC BRoADsiDE ron THE DcUG-
LAS MFN.--The Charleston Mercury whose
democracy and devotion to the South
will hardly be questioned, fires the fol-
lowing broadside into the piratical Doug
las crafts that are insidiously sailing on
our southern waters, under the flag of
the Democratic party;
GLOW any man can rail at Southern
men supporting Wilmot Provisoists, and
yet tolerate himself Squatter Sovereignty,
is an illogical marvel, quite striking,
even amidst the varieties of the various
politics of these United States. Free
soilism has two expedients to keep the
South out of our Territories-both in
vented by Democrats. The Wilmot
Proviso, by Wilmot of Pennsylvania,
and Squatter Sovereignty by Cass. The
first has as yet accomplished nothing
but the last-Squatter Sovereignty-has
wrested California from tho South and
is now triumphant in Kansas, in the
emancipation OF four hundred slaves be-
longing to southern Shareholders. Now,
| that Southern man should hold in horror
political associations with the Black Re
| publicans, who are in favor of tho Will
mot Proviso, and yet tolerate Douglas
with Squatter Sovereignty, the only prac-
teal expcdent of trecsoilsm yet put in.
to operation to the injury of the South,
is a mystery we suppose totally incom-
prehensible to a plain unsophisticatcd
mind. We agree entirely with the
Richmond Wing, that if the Democratic
party in the Charleston Convention does
not distinctly repudiate the robber-policy
Of Squatter Sovereignty, the Democratic
party can with no propriety ask the
support of single Southern Wing in
favor of their nominee. We 90 further
and hesitate not to say, that so far al
the rights of the South in our Terrific
ries are concerned, Douglas, with Squat
ter sovereignty, is just AS Objectionable
as Seward with Wimot Provisoism. The
South should turn with contempt from
| both"

lice force of Philadelphia have been de-

his own business.

SLANDER.-Miss S. Whiteville, poor

night.

UTILIZED SAw-Dusr.-The ingenuity OF
Partisan cabinet-makers has found a use
for common saw-dust, which raises the
value of that commodity far above the
worth of solid timber. BY new process,
combining the hydraulic press with in
tense heat, the wooden particles are made
to form themselves into solid mass ca
pable of being moulded into any shape,
and presenting a brilliant surface, with a
durability and beauty of appearance not
to be found in ebony, rosewood or ma
hogony.

IMPoRTANT QUEsrIoN.-The Fredericks-
burg News, in a witty and good humored
article on the Charleston Convention,
concludes by enquiring:
CATER the Convention has assembled,

take them all out of the Union at once,
would the party in the Union be bound
by their action or nomination? We
solemnly submit this question to the Sc
rious consideration of the National Com

PROBABLY Nor GuILTY.-The brothers
Castleman, who have been under arrest
at Vicllsburg, charged with the murder
ing of the owner Of trading boat, and
also his cook, negro woman, and then
robbing the boat Of over 81 900 in money,
had an examination on Tuesday of last
week. The Vicksburg Sur says:
We were informed by gentleman in
whom we have every confidence, that it
was the boldest case ever attempted to be
made out. The evidence did not attach
even suspicion to either party; that there
can be no doubt of the entire innocence
Of these men, and such was the opinion
of all who heard the testimony in the
case. The result is, no doubt, a source
of great qualification to the accused, and
equally so to their aged father, who has
long been resident of our county

THE GLORIOUS UNCERTAINTY OF THE LAW
The Cincinnati Enquirer, referring to the
result of the great breach of promise case
in St. Louis, says:
"We once heard tho eminent Judge
Jacob Burnet observe, that mis- long ex-
perience at the bar and on the bench
warranted him in saying that, in nine cases
out Of ten in contested cases, he would,
were he interested in them, prefer that
they should be decided by the tossing of
a copper. rather than by the instrument
talities of a Court. Such was his idea of
the glorious uncertainty of the law"

Clemens Editor of the Memphis Enquirer,
in reply to some remarks touching his
consistency in politics-as he is now a
Whig-says:
"We have never taken any pains to
vindicate our consistency. After voting
for Martin Van Buren, in 1910, and for
Frank Pierce in 1852, VIC freely concede
that the record is indefensible, and we
place our whole reliance for forgiveness
upon the Christians hope-repentance."

Louis Napoleon is about organizing an
immense army in addition to the regular
army. He knows that before he attlins
the objects he proposes, he must confront
all Europe in arms. This new army will

10000 men WIN be called out to serve
the country for seven ycars--that is, there
will be enlisted 100000 men, onc-hall
OF which. i. G., 50a, 600 men will be actual
ly in the ranks OF the regular army; the
other will be allowed to remain at home,
but will be liable to be called into active
service -aAd drafted into the regular army

In ordinary times these men who will be
allowed to remain at home, will be as.

drilled by officers of the army. When
their seven years of service expires they
will be drafted into the National Guard

doubt "that Fernando Wood is the rising
star in our country" and says, too, that il
"defrauded OUT of the nomination at
Charleston by bargain and corruption

in 1924 (whom he resembles in his deci-
sion, iirmness, and determination more
than any man living,) we believe that the
people will rally around him at tho sue

tain him, as they did his great prototype
