No SABBATH.-Ina "Prize Essay on the
Sabbath. - written by journeyman printer
in Scotland, there occurs the following strik-
ing passage;
Of the Sabbath would hopelessly enslave the
working classes, with whom we are identi-
fed. Think of labor thus going on in one
monotonous, and continuous and eternal
cycle-limbs forever on the rack, the ing-
ers forever playing, the eyeballs forever
straining, the brow forever sweating, the
feet forever Flooding, and brain forever
throbbing, the shoulders forever dropping,
the loins forever aching, and the restless
mind forever scheming. Think of the
beauty it would efface, Of the merry-heart-
edness it would extinguish, of the giant
strength it would tame, of the resources OF
nature it would exhaust, of the aspirations
il would crush, of the sickness it would
breed, of the projects it would wreck, ofthe
groans it would extort, of the lives it would
immediate, of the cherries graves it would pre-
maturely dig. See them toiling and moil-
ing. sweating and fretting, grinding and
hewing. weaving and spinning, sowing and
gathering, moving and reaping, raising and
building, digging and planting, unloading
and storing, striving and struggling-in
the garden and in the field, In the granary
and in the barn, in the factory and in the
mill, In the warehouse and in the shop, on
the mountain and in the ditch, on the road
side and in the wood, in the city and in the
country, on the sea and on the shore, on the
earth in days of brightness and of gloom.
What sad picture would the world present
| if We had no Sabbath

AFTER ABATTLE.-Ine following Srapn]c
sketch, from the pen of an EpoSeEsr'y u
who served WitNNrha-Red the true secret
the war against the world really flnisl
India, describes the field u ss~y..-.. =,
victory of Mundasoore:
A battlefield Immediately after an action
is no very inviting scene. More than one
sense is sickened by the objects around; the
air is tainted, and death stares you in the
in most hideous forms; swollen and bloated
carcasses, covered with vultures or being
torn to pieces by the pariah dogs; corpses
lying up in heap, burnt to a cinder; some
without vestige of clothing, others lying
peacefully as they fell. The village was al
most too foul to pass through; almost every
house had it's inmates of dead in some ghast-
ly form or other-what the sword had COM
menced fire had ended. Death and black
ruin lay everywhere together. Spite all
this, one old woman, who seemed nearly
eighty years of age, had remained there a
witness of the fearful consummation. Per-
haps she was too feeble to fly, or held the
little life then flowing in her veins too worth
less to prolong. She appeared starving as
she sat on a stone feebly signing and drink
ing water from a little earthen vessel
There was no one to comfort her, and the
soldiery passed her by as they would dog!
Down a we'll not far from the village we
found man hiding in recess of the earth
How long he had been there no one knew,
but he was too feeble to ascend by a rope
which was thrown down to him. How
ever, we helped him up, and when he gained
the top he was too weak to stand. Some
brandy and water and native bread was Of
fered to him by Major Boileau; but this lie
refused as he might have done poison, al
though he appeared dying from starvation
Another was discovered in tree where he
must have been for three days. He refused
at first to come down; musket was point
ed at him, which had the desired effect; down
he came, matchbox, tulwar, and powder
horn, too. In his belt we found eighty
eight rupees. This the men divided, and
the bird was made prisoner and sent into
camp. In one of the fields an old woman
was found with her right leg shattered by a
shell; in another, a little girl of about nine,
with her left leg shattered! All over the
madam were scattered English books, papers,
envelopes, ladies' silk dresses covered with
blood, bonnets, parasols, elegant drawing
room chairs, and other things the rebels had
plundered from Neemuch and other stations.
The village still smoldered; the high crops
were all beaten down, the earth torn up; null
labs dilled with broken furniture, dead cattle
and men; black heaps of ashes lay here and
there, with charred corpses in their''centers;
the air W as laden with sickening gases, in
which vultures, kites, and crows circled and
screamed over the horrid carcasses below;
wretched camp followers were prowling
among the corpses and ruins-women,
LAUGHING and tramplinp through the broken
diving into wells and tanks, climbing trees,
and breaking down grain stacks-all search
ing for plumber like cowardly assassins, and
reveling in the horrors of death like fends.

The produce of Scotch pig iron during
the past year was 200, GOO tuns, being an
increase of so, 900 over the previous year.
This augmentation has not been due to an
increase of furnaces, but intrinsic improve
ments in the process of manufacture. Our
molders have not yet found a true substi-
tute for this kind of iron for castings, but il
appears that some of the American iron ores
for they are very numerous-should yield
similar iron if heated with the hot blast and
coke fuel. The shipments to the United
States of Scotch pig iron amounted to 49,
csc tuns In 1860.

CoTToN FIELDS OF CENTRAL AMERICA
A letter from Mr.. Squier, formerly our
Charge d'Affaires at Nicaragua, in which he
describes the capabilities of Central America
as producing region. No man is
better qualified to speak on this subject than
Mr.. Squier, who was for many years res
ident of The country, and who has since de-
voted to it much patient inquiry and study.
It will be seen that he demonstrates these
points:
1. That Central America is better adapted
for the production of cotton, of equal if not
superior quality, in larger quantities, and at
less cost of labor and capital, than any por-
ton of the Southern States of this UnioD.
2. That by the introduction of foreign
enterprise and capital, under such protection
and guarantees as the United States and
Great Britain could give, through means of
treaties with the Central American States,
the cultivation of cotton, with the existing
local supplies of labor, could be stimulated
to the extent of filling a very large part of
the demand for that staple, present or pros
pective.
8. That the country is eminently adapted
for tie introduction of exotic labor, and that
under such inducements as England and the
United States could easily secure from the
local governments, emigration would be at
tracted thither TO an extent adequate to rem
edy any deficiency in the supply of cotton
esulting from lack of local labor.
Central American gentlemen, now in this
city, we are told, are able to corroborate
everything Mr.. Squier has said, and they
offer, moreover,on the part of their respect
i've nations, the most active cooperation
with every free nation which will undertake
to develop the marvellous resources Of the
Isthmus. Now that the wanton and crazy
fanaticism Of the pro-slavery leaders has
directed the attention of mankind to more
stable resources of cotton supply than the
Southern States promise to maintain, the op-
portunities opened there cannot fail to be
considerably 7. Post.

a TRAITORS YOUTHFUL PORTRAIT.

The Rev. Dr. Bacon, in the New York
Independent, gives Yale College reminis-
cence that has peculiar interest, Just now.
Of the class that graduated in 1929 he
says:
There was one of the class whose name
cannot be found on the list of graduates, or
any annual catalogue after 1927. He was
and still is handsome little fellow, looking
very small in his class, who, with few
exceptions, were of full manly growth. This
youth hailed from great State of "the
chivalrous sunny South bright-eyed. dark
complexioned, and ''ardent as a Southern
sun could make him" In the early part of
1928, there was mysterious trouble in that
class. Watches, breastpins, seals, pencil
cases, penknives, two-bladed knives, &C.,
&C.. and lastly, sundry sums of money,
ssiyinp around loose in students rooms,
disappeared unaccountably. The losers
looked gloomy at each other, and suspicious
| ly at Others. Something must be done, and
they finally constituted themselves volun-
teer detective force" set their trap-baited
with thirty-6ve dollars in good bank notes
and soon caught the thief. He confessed.
On opening his trunk in his presence, they
found it nearly full of missing valuables
-jewelry, pocket cutlery, and horologery
enough to stock a Chatham street store.
He begged pitifully not to be exposed ;
they looked at the thought of blasting his
opening life. He had been a universal ia
vorite, the pet of his class SO they agreed
not to inform either the city magistrate or
the Faculty of the University, but ordered
him to s'clear out'' at once and forever. He
went instantly to good President Day, OBJ
tanned certificate of honorable dismission,
and vanished.
That little thief is now Senator in Con-
gress, advocating and justifying and threat
ening the robbery of forts, and the stealing
of the military cutlery and hardware gener-
ally of the Federal Government, without
any more color or shadow of pretext than he
had for his like operations on his fellow
students just thirty three years ago. A third
of century has not made, and never can
make. any change in such an originally born
rascal.
Had these early filchings been a mere
thoughtless, boyish escapade-a momentary
yielding to temptation while in great want,
they would not deserve mention now; but
they were systematized thefts-long con-
tinued, accumulated, and boarded pilferings,
from trustful bosom friends.
Had the fellow not at length reproduced
his private morality in public life, I would
have allowed the secret of his early crimes
to remain in the hearts of the few who then
knew and now remember it.

AN lNvETERATE QUEsTIoNER.-A gentle
man riding in an eastern railway car, which
was rather scantily supplied with passen-
gers, observed in seat before him lean,
slab sided Yankee, every feature of whose
face seemed to ask question, and little
circumstance soon proved that he possessed
most "inquiring mind"
Before him, occupying the entire seat,
sat lady dressed in deep mourning, and.
after shifting his position several times, and
maneuvering to get an opportunity to look
into her face, he at length caught her eye
and commenced:

"I do.'' said the widow, abruptly, and
turned her head to look out of the window.
The indefatigable ''pump'' changed his
position, held the widow by his glittering
eye once more, and propounded one more
query, in little lower tone. With his head
slightly inclined forward over the back Of
the seat, the delicate question came out:
"Was you calculatin' to git married

And she left her seat, and took another
on the other side of the car.

want to hurt her feelin's. What did they
make you pay for that umbrella you've got
in your hand? It's raal pooty one."
No answer was returned to the imperti

own musings the remainder of the journey.

RATES OF ADvERTTsTNe-
ALL ABOUT TEXAS.

The Cincinnati Press has some kind
words about Texas, and the town poor SO
ceding from the town:
What beggars' opera is this Texas se-
cession The Government plunged into a
war TO protect her annexation. Then it paid
her $4,000, 900 for lands in New Mexico.
10 which she had no more claim than she
had to lands in the neon; claim which we
created entirely by fraudulently set ting it
up as against Mexico; and the land was
worthless. She has three or four military
posts on her borders garrisoned by United
States troops, to protect her from the InJf-
ans. Within the last year her cries of dis
tress for protection hsve alarmed the whole
country, and during this very session, a
bill has, we think, passed the House, to
raise new regiment to protect her from
the Indians.
Now she has resumed her independence"
and is Selling the United States arms and
such property as she can lay her hands on;
and even talks of taking the military posts
which protect her from the Indians and
Greasers, who have kept her in panic for
the last two years. Texas is little too
green in the United States, to perform these
sovereign antics. with IMMUNITY. If she
WltndraWs, she owes us settlement. we
would not have her coerced to remain in
the Union. We would follow the plan of
honest "Dogberry," and thank God we are
rid of pestient knave.
But there is that ten millions which We
paid her for nothing, and the cost of her de-
tense since, and part of the expenses of
the war we undertook on her account, that
we must have back; besides pay for the
property which she steals now. Let the
account be opened, and fair adjustment
made; and in the mean time let the troops
be withdrawn from her border, and the In
dams let in; and if they resume their orig
inal sovereignty, we shall have fortunate
exchange, and much more respectable
State to take into the Union again. There
is no tribe of Indians in America that could
possibly send SO mean specimen as Wigfall.
