UNSUCCESSFUL IN LIFE-We confess that
increasing years bring with them an H.
crensing respect for those who do not sue
ceed in life, as these words are commonly
used. Heaven is said to be q place for
those who have not succeeded upon earth;
and it is surely true that celestial graces
do not best thrive and bloom in the hot
blaze of worldly prosperity. Ill success
sometimes arises from a super-abundance
Of qualities in themselves good, from con
science too sensitive, a taste too fastidious,
a self.forgetfulness too romantic, modesty
too retiring. We will not go so far as to
say, with living poet, that "the world
knows nothing OF its greatest men," but
there are forms of greatness, or at least ol
excellence, that die and make no sign
there are martyrs that miss the palm but
not the stake; there are heroes without the
laurel, and conquerors without the triumph

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH.-Repub.
licanism has achieved another victory.
Every true Republican will rejoice over the
following;
" Married, on the 9Th inst by the Rev.
Hiram Wilcox, Mr.. Patterson West aud
Miss Rebecca Jane Young, all of Morgan" i"
The Gallipolis Dispatch say that the
groom is muiatto, and the bride a pure
tohite girl, aud the minister member Of
the Republican party.
The bride has undoubtedly been informed
that the highest judicial tribunal in the
State (the Republican Supreme Court) has
decided that her husband is white male
citizen Of the United States" and is as a
matter of course, just as good as any other
'ohiic man. He can vote, sit on juries, and
hold Office 1t is another triumph of Re-
publican principles, over which every mem
Der of the party should rejoice and clap his
hauds.-ByracHss OhiO) Forum.

FRIENDsmP-Never desert friend when
enemies gather around him; when sickness
falls on the heart, when the world is dark
and cheerless, is the time to try friend
They who turn from the scene Of distres:
betray their hypocricy, and prove that in
terest only moves them. If you have q
friend who loves you and studies your in.
terest and happiness, be sure to sustain
him in adversely. Let him feel that hit
former kindness is appreciated, and thai
his love is not thrown away. Real fidelity
may be rare, but it does exist in many
hearts. Who has not seen and felt il
power 4? They only who never truly loved
friend, deny its existence.

A VALUABLE SEcRET.-The unpleasant
odor produced by perspiration, is frequently
the source of vexation to gentlemen and
ladies', some of whom are as, suject to its
excess as their fellow-mortals of another
color. Nothing is simpler than the removal
Of this odor, at much less expense and much
more effectuaIly than by the application Of
such costly unguents aud perfumes as are in
use. 1t is only necessary to procure some
of the compound spirits of amonia, and
place about two table spoonsful in basin
Of water Washing the face, hands and
arms with this, leaves the skin as clear,
fresh and sweet as one could wish The
wash being perfectly harmless and very
cheap, we recommend it on the authority
Of one of our most experienced physicians,
to our Misunderstanding Express.

he has resolved on connecting all parts of
his vast empire by telegraphs and railroads
According TO a statement from a Mr.. 7. P.
SchalTner, in the New York papers, the
Emperor of Russia, four years back, re-
solved upon the formation of telegraph
line from st. Petersburg to the Russian
Possessions in North America, and thence
to San Francisco. Its course was to be
from St. Petersburg to Moscow, thence
across the Ural mountains into Asia, pass
ing through Irkutsk to the Sea of Okhotsk
and thence from Kamtschatka across the
Sea of kamtschatka to Cooks Inlet, in
Russian America This line, by q connec,
tion with the river Amoor and Mnntchouriu,
would bring st. Petersburg and Pekin into
direct communication.
We have said enough to direct atten-
tion to the movements of Russia, and as
the opening of the Amoor country must
eventually possess a very marked interest
for California, especially when taken in con-
nection with the laying of telegraphc
cable from tsiatic to American Russia,
and thence Q San Francisco, our remarks
will probably provoke closer inquiry into
Russian affairs, destined at no distant pc
riod to exercise n decided influence on
American policy, commerce and manufac-
tures.-SaH Francisco HerdldS
We desire to remind our friend of the
Herald that before a telegraph line from
the Russian Possessions to the north of US
can reach San Francisco it must come to
Puget Sound, from whence to the Atlantic
sea-board, it is nearer by thousand miles
than by the way of California. These
facts we could not, of course, expect the
Herald to state, for it might speak in favor
of Washington Territory. We would sug.
gest that San francisco hit upon some plan,
in case this line Of telegraph is established,
to run it down from Kamtscha,ka by tea-
Ter. BY doing this they can ignore Wash
ington altogether. uRtil they are compelled
to travel over a northern Pacific railroad
to reach the eastern States.

MORMON TYRANNY.-Most OF the immi-
grants who have arrived at Carson Valley
from Salt Lake, have sigued a paper for
publication in the Territorial Enlerpriss,
published at Carson City, setting forth
their reasons for leaving Salt Lake. Ow-
ing to the length Of the paper, however, the
ERtSprise does not publish II, but gives
the substance.
This company numbers about $50 per-
sons, having 38 wagons and some 500 head
Of stock They were originally induced to
go to Salt Lake through the misrepresen-
latiols OF the Mormon missionaries. On
reaching there, however, they found every
thing The reverse Of what had beenlrepre-
sented. Qne-tenth Of their crops was rig
orously exActed to swell the revenues OF the
church. New and repulsiEe features were
engrafted upon their religion as they had
accepted it, aud practices wholly at Sari-
ance with their sense Of deeency were at
tempted to be enforced IL their midst. They
at length determined 10 escape from these
impostions aud burdens, and started for
Carson Valley ahout the middle Of May.
Notwithstanding they were threatened with
determination # they left, and told that
they would never reach California alive
On reaching Ruby Valley, they found that
the blood-hounlls Of Mormondom were on
their track, intent on executing their
threats. On the night Of the 2lst Of May,
while encamped at that place, party Of
mounted men approached their company,
but finding them on the alert, fed without
making an attack. Some days after, while
they were ehcamped in a canyon is miles
from Willow Springs, men supposed 70 be
white, were discovered by tue guard,
whoopi1g like Indians, and, apparently,
ouly prevented from making an attack by
the presence Of the U. S. troops, who were
acting as an ascort TO the emigration, the
latter, upon discovering their perilOus situ-
alton at Ruby Valley, having made sue
cessful application " Lieut.. Perkins for aid
and protection.
The following day, Thomas Miller, one
Of the emigrants, was shot by an unknown
party in the same canyon, and several head
Of the cattle be was attending were killed
This was no doubt the work Of their muir
derous pursuers, who seemed bent on theiI
destruction, which they would have effected
beyond any question but for the presence
of Lieut. Perkins aud his command. TC
this gallant officer and his associate, Lieut.
Weed, the emigrants feel that they are in
debted for the preservation Of tbeir liyei
aud property.

PRESENT CONDITION OF SPAIN.-Spain has
long been looked upon as used-up country.
Statistical returns, however, of the popula-
ton, industry and property of the country,
tell different story. Spain is about twice
the size of the State of Missouri, but on this
area it has nearly fifteen times the popula-
tion of that State-nearly fifteen and a half
millions. There are four cities in the king
dom, whose population exceeds 100000
Madrid being the largest, and numbering
28l,l70 There are five cities having pop
ulation ranging from 1900 to 10000.
Spain's imports grew from 33,o00,o00 in
1850 TO 100000 in 1859. There are in
Spain 43l English miles Of navigable canals,
524 miles of railroads finished, $40 miles in
progress and 1880 miles more authorized
There are also 1898 miles of telegraph lines
in operation. The public revenue Of Spain
for 1859 was estimated at $l22, 100000 the
total expenditures $l230OO,OOOf About /,
600, 900 Of her children are in schools. The
number of religious functionaries has been
