A Tennessee Bdlsor on JeGSSsOn Dnvi

and the Confederate stnaes.
The Nashville Democrat of the 10th inst.
has slashing article on President Jefferson
Davis and the new Oonfederacy, from which
we extract as follows:
This same blusterer, in a speech few
years ago, ventured 10 Islander the Tennessee
volunteers. We know what we say, when
we assert that, with all his bluster, Tennes-
see could, if so disposed, subdue the whole
Cottonocracy in a short time. He calculates
now on the soldiers of Tennessee to aid him
in his wicked and fendish purpose of break
ing up this glorious government.
He is as proud and as vain as Beelzebub.
He thinks that he holds the "kingdoms of
the world, and the powers thereof" In the
hollow of his hand. He is looking for the
English Government to bow to him. He
says the English Government will acknowl-
edge the Cottonocracy. .
This is all nonsense. The English Govern
ment, as we'll as all others, knows how to
treat the flag of the United States, and so
will JEFF. Davis. Let him attempt to subdue
the Federal Government; let him fire at
Fort Sumter, or at any other fort of the
United States, where our flag now floats, and
he is as sure to be hung as that the sun
will rise to morrow morning, unless he runs,
like a coward, beyond the reach of Tenues-
see. We know hundreds of men in his se-
ceding Cottonocracy who are ready to tie the
rope for the hangman.
JEFF. Davis has been producing discomfort
and teaching treason as long as we can stand
it. He has been vile conspirator against
his government for years.
There is no use in soothing our people any
longer Traitors must suffer, unless they
stop their treason. We may be asked to be
patient How, in the name of high heaven
can a man be patient when traitorous flag
is Haunted in our face when atraitor comes
to our very border, and talks treason to our
country openly2
He talks of sacking Cities Vile rebel In
hated bigot Let him try the Tennesseeans,
whom he so basely slandered. Let him try
Nashville. Our readers must indulge us a
little. We can not forbear to denounce trea-
son; and whenever we cease to do so, ''may
our right hand forget her cunning"
We have borne with treason as long as it
is possible to do so. Talk of tearing down
our fair fabric Of government Never
Neverl JEFF Davis is on the road to the gall
| lows, and his followers had better be careful.
| An indignant public will not forever endure
insult and treason-plotting. We have lived
| prosperouslY and happily for three quarters
of century, and we know that Tennessee
never will give up this free and happy
country.
Let this vile traitor and his foul minions
come. Tennessee never has forsaken the
glorious flag of free and happy America, and
by the Eternal, she never will She ha'
always conquered the enemies Of the country
and will again, if required to do so. This il
our country, and all the powers of earth cal
not force us to give it up.
Rise, fellow -countrymen our country yet remains
| BY that dread name we wave the sword on high,
And swear for her to i've, with her to die!

Ingenious Robbery and Singular Police
ReRulatiObs in COnsIantInOpIe.


Regulations in COnsIantinOpIe.
Not long ago, writes Constantinople cor
respondent, Turk was caught in the act of
Tobbing house in the city proper. He con,
fessed that he had followed this trade for six
years, and had plundered more than 100
Turkish houses. The official paper gives a
full account of these robberies and the man.
ner in which they were committed. The
man confessed that he went about the streets
and found when houses were left vacant, and
then returned and robbed them. In reply to
question from the judge, he said he "satis-
fed himself that the occupants were gone by
finding the knocker down (the Turks always
turn the door. knocker up when at home), by
seeing the window curtains down, and in
the evening the rooms dark; then knocked
at the door, and some neighbor usually tells
if the family are gone away, and how soon
they will return" &c. ...a
In view of this confession the police of
Constantinople have issued an order; first
forbidding any parson to turn down his door
knocker on leaving home; second, forbidding
the closing of the window curtains; third,
rt tquiring that all persons should keep light
burning in their rooms when absent in the
evening; and fourth, forbiddipg all persons
telling any one whether their neighbors are
at home or not. On the strength of these
stringent regulations, the police will prob
| ably sleep at their posts even more soundly
| than usual,

RIGID Pursuit of Justice in Frnnce--Ob-
tanning n Cast of an Assassln's Foot
Prints.
The Paris correspondent of the New Or.
leans Delta says in his last letter.
As a curious example of the minute atten-
ton to every detail paid by justice in France,
l give you description of the means adopted
to obtain q cast of the assassin Jud's foot
prints. All who have read the particulars
Of this extraordinary crime (that of the MUIR
der of Judge Poinsot) will doubtless remem-
Der that q third. class passenger in the train
saw a man, who is now known to have been
the murderer, spring from the cars, while
they were yet in motion, as they drew near
the station of Noiseg-le-Sec. The fugitive,
then supposed to be merely passenger de-
sirous to avoid paying his fare left the print
of his foot in the sand, near the railway
track.
An exact impression of this foot-mark was
taken, few hours subsequently, by the fol-
lowing ingenious process; A sort of gridiron,
made of wire, was placed over the imprint,
an inch from the ground. On this gridiron
was deposited a thin sheet of tin, covered
with burning charcoal. In short time the
ground beneath was heated to the desired
extent. The gridiron was then removed,
and by the aid of q hair sieve, the imprint
was sprinkled with layer of stearine re-
duced to an impalpable powder, by dissolu-
tion in alcohol and sudden immersion in cold
water.
The powder obtained by the precipitation
of this mixture is so light that its fall does
not change the position of grain of sand
As soon as it touched the hot ground, il
melted and disappeared. The soil was then
given time to cool, after which the imprint
fully impregnated with stearine, was dug
up, entire, and placed upon a square piece
of cloth, whose corners were then gathered
topether, so as to form a kind of sack. Mold
ing plaster was then poured upon the inn
print and the operation was complete.
Such is the accuracy of this process, thai
it not only reproduces the general outline
of foot, or its covering, but also every
minute particularly. If bare foot, i
shows the exact shape of the sole, and thu
relative position of the toes; if boot o.
shoe, the amount of wear sustained by thu
sole and heel, the number of nails, &c
These seemingly insignificant circumstance
are frequently of the greatest value to tn,
ends of justice, and, in some instances, ar,
terrible proofs against criminals who suppos
that no evidence exists to convict them.

His DistributiOn of $4,000 in Presents
on New.year's Day.
We are talking, says the Paris correspond
ent of the New Orleans PicdyuRe, q great
deal about the folly of Russian Prince, an
old bachelor, who has an income of 5000, 900
annually. He distributed $40, 900 here New
years Day, in the shape of presents to per-
sons he was unacquainted with; and this
when so many poor people are starving He
sent to fifteen of the prettiest actresses a note
in these terms:
"Good for twenty-five dozen pairs of
gloves at Boivin's shop, Rue de Castiglione.

-. [Signed] PRINCE --OFF.n
He sent thirty ladies presents, not one of
which was of less value than $400, and the
majority of them were worth ST. 200. Several
of these presents were returned, for he was
unacquaintsd with the ladies to whom they
were sent. One lady sent her present back,
with this note:

of receiving present from person she has

The wealthy simpleton became quite angry,
and sent the present to Nine Doche. There
was no danger of her sending it back. He
sent o gold-mounted epera.g glass, adorned
with diamonds and pearls, to Mile Edile
| Riquer, of the French Comedy, with this note
"Princs off begs Mile Edile Riquer

A Boy SWALLOWING A HoLE.-The other

him by the arm, and trembling with that

Humble Beginning of Postmaster General
King.

Hon. Horatio King now the Postmaster
General, came to Washington some twenty.
two years back, at the age of twenty-six or
twenty-seven years, with an appointment as
a copying clerk, and a salary of $1,000 per
annum, in the great department over which
he now presides. His duties and salary
were soon after considerably advanced. At
the Inauguration of the foreign mail system,
about the year 184S, his assiduity and good
judgment, as well as his capacity as a writer,
pointed him out as suitable person to be
put in charge of the same. -t.-
Mr.. Kings original appointment came
from that enlightened Postmaster C enerai,
Amos Kendall, but his elevation to the du-
ties and salaries of a principal clerk pro .
| ceeded from one of a different political
school, yet a distinguished head of the De-
partment, the Hon. N K. Hall, after cousid
cradle opportunity to witness his industry,
zeal, and a sound judgment in official busi-

| master General Hobbie, Mr.. King, without
solicitation on bis part, was called to fill his
place, and probably better selection could

AS is known, he has recently been selected
to preside over the department. aud enjoys
the exclusive honor, we believe, of having
risen from the lowest-class clerkship to a
Cabinet office.
He began his public career at the age of
about twenty years, as conductor of a news

sociate in business, the Hon. Hannibal Ham
lin, now VicePresident. elect. A lucky
newspaper establishment this, truly.
In this printing Office, it is presumed, were
| laid, to large extent, the foundations of his
subsequent success, through the tact, judg-
ment, assiduity, and capacity as q thinker
and editor, called out in its management.
| His education had been limited to the En-
! glsh branches and little French, to which
were now added the great and practical ones

Mr.. K. has been noted during his offcal
career for doing handsomely, assiduously
and thoroughly, whatever business has beer
intrusted to him a quality which, no doubt
has principally contributed to his great and
rapid advancement and which all persons in
| public employ would do well to initiate.

HEARTY LAUGHTER AS MEDICINE.-The
following incident, says the New Haven
(Conn. Palladium comes to us thoroughly
authenticated, although we are not at lib
erty to publish the names: A short time
since two individuals in this city were lying
in one room very sick, one with brain fever
and the other with an aggravated case OF
mumps. They were so low that watchers
were needed every night, and it was thought
doubtful if the one sick of the fever recov-
cred. A gentleman was engaged TO watch
one Oight, his duty being to wake the nurse
whenever it became necessary TO administer
medicine. In the course of the night both
watcher and nurse fell asleep. The man
with the mumps lay watching the clock, and
saw that it was time to give the fever patient
his potion.
He was unable to speak loud or to move
any portion of his body except his arms, but
seiziDg pillow, he managed to strike the
watcher in the face with it. Thus suddenly
awAkene the watcher sprang from his seat
falling to the floor and awakening both the
nurse and feVer-patient The incident struck
both the sick men as very ludicrous, apC
they laughed heartily at it for some fifteer
or twenty minutes. When the doctor CANT
