bers for good conduct and industry at fires during
the past year. The company were assembled
without knowing who would get the prizes: SO the
interest Of the occasion may be imagined. The
first prize, beautiful gold medal with an engine
and proper Inscriptions on it, was awarded to
Robert Brewster; the second prize, a similar gold
medal, was awarded to Joseph Scarpio the third
prize, similar gold medal, was awarded to Henry
Vaugnclln; the fourth prize, q silver cup, was
awarded to old Sam Whipple, the most active
and unt1aggtng of the exempt members; and the
fifth prize, leather medal, gotten up for the
man who missed most fires and was the slowest
when he did go, was awarded to Fritz Settler.
This medal was large and beautifully decorated
piece of soleeather, having embossed upon it
turtle, the emblem of medtatve motion, or slow
ness The fun connected with this presentation
was uproarious. Fritz bushingly declined The
honor, and attempted to escape from the hall, but
the doors were closed upon him, and the boys COM
PEELED him to have the medal attached to the left
lapel of his coat. After that they formed in pro-
cession, and with Fritz and his leather medal
closely guarded, at the head, marched down to Joe
CafIeras, at the corner of Victory and the Railroad
where Foreman Leggett treated all hands to brm-
ming glasses of foaming egg-nog. The No. boys

REIGN OF TEEEoR IN PoLAND.--Thc following is
an extract of 4 letter, dated Wilma, November,
1860, and published in the IIiQdoa0sci P0lshie:
We live in reign Of terror. The days of
Nicholas have revived in all their horror and no
one can say what will happen on the morrow The
under the presidency of Col. Halter, the chief of
the Governors Office. Searches in private houses
are frequent. The local chief of police, Wasilcw,
generally enters house unexpectedly at midnight
with all his suite, tumbng about papers and books,
and looking into the pockets and beds Of the in
habants. Men are sent to prison for having in
their possession forbidden books, which have been
for the last few years in uninterrupted circulation
about the country, and have found readers among
ali classes, from the students Of the universities to
the employees of the police. All kinds Of books
and pamphlets are being looked for. few days
ago, Ass, the bookseller, in whose shop bundle
Of foreign publications was found was arrested.
In former letter Informed you of the imprison-
ment of Ladisas Janknowski. The fate Of that
gentleman greatly interests oil here, for every one
is convinced of bis Innocence and Of his worthy,
immaculate character. He had boys school, and
by dnt OF immense labor supported respectfully,
not only himself, but also his old father and his
two younger brothers, who are being educated at
the University. The reason of this imprisonment
was, that last year man lived al his house named
Wisniewski, a tutor, in whose possession were
found sundry patriotic verses Many hope that
eventually J0nknowsk will be restored to liberty:
but in any case his career has been stopped and
his means OF life taken from him, and that they
call favor. AS have already said that the days
Of Nicholas have returned need not add that the
days Of Hor0d have come too, and that the porBos-
cution of children enters intn the programme of
these Satnnia regna Several students have been
imprisoned. Romer, grandson of the late Mar
shall Romor) pupil at the Dworzuuski Institute,
who was accused of having put out some lamps in
the windows on the day OF the arrival of the Gar
was, by order of the principal Of the school, so
ptilessly beaten with rods that next day the poor
boy became insane. All these prosecutions are
the consequence af an order of the Emperor to in
quire into conspiracies which never did Or could
have existed

STABBING AFFARs.-A young man named David
Luspie was stabbed and most probably mortally
wounded on Monday night, in the Fulton exchange,
corner of Front and Girod streets. He was cut so
badly in the abdomen that his bowels protrudad in
a shocking manner. Three men were arrested by
officers Brennan and FIynn-Bernard Moran as
principal John Mcl[ewn as accessory, and James
Collins as a witness. Moran says he knows moth
ing of the cutting, and Collins says he had nothing
to do with it. Mckewn is stubborn and independ-
ent, and wont say anything Collins states that he
and Mckewn had Il fight Cloth their faces are
scratched and battered) and that a friend of Nc
Kewn's cut at him but didn't hurt him, and then,
without any provocation cut Luspie The fellow
who it is alleged used the knife, whom Collins does
not know by name, escaped.
New Years day was blotted with blood in sew
eral parts of the city. At six o'clock yesterday
morning. in the Fourth District, Henry Heflner was
arrested the charge of having dangerously
stabbed Philip Brock. Officer Duhurst made the
arrest. In the same District, few hours after
ward, Frank McShane was arrested on the charge
of having dangerously cut man whose name was
not reported; officer Farrell making tho charge.
Last evening, officers Kennedy and Allen sent

who had been stabbed five times in the breast and
dangerously wounded, by some person or persons
unknown, in q cofechouse on Front street. be-
tween Lafayette and Poydras.

A milk peddler finding that his business was not
just what it should be, resolved to tack about and
sell mill, instead of milk and water, as lie had for
merry done and thus test the soundness of the old
maxim about the policy of honesty. A day or two
after he had effected the aforesaid change, he was
told bye one of his customers, a matronly lady of
some experience in life, that he need bring no
more milk to her. In great surprise, he asked her
the reason why. Because" said she, the arIi-

The Confederation says :



LINA,--The Memphis Bulletin has the following !:
There was an incident occurred at the Coopera-
ton meeting here, which, taking into view its
pleasant influences, has not been given its due
prominence in the published proceedings. IL oc-

Brown, when at some allr0 ion TO secession, some
enthusiastic young Caror.an, forgetting in his zeal
for his cherished native soil, the construction of
discourtesy to the speaker that might be put upon

Carona"' Not for moment Disconnected Gen.
Brown responded, "the gentleman says three
cheers for South Carolina, and so say l. In the
dark days of peril, in the troublons time Of the
Revolution that gallant State was with us, battling
heroicaly for independence and the Union which
her Sumters, and her Rutledges, and her Haynes,
and he' Tarions helped to bald up. She has gone
out from among us now, but we hope it will not be
forever. We hope she will yet return to the sister
hood of States in the old homestead Of her and OF
our fathers. And too say "three cheers for

The audience, catching the tolerant and patriotic
spirit Of the speaker, gave them with Uin2 that
almost lifted the roof, and the speaking went on
without further interruption.

We are again called upon to record fatal acct

wagon with his broiher-inlaw, Dr.. De Halfway,
onded gun in the wagon became the object OF
possession by both parties. A friendly scuffle
ensued, during which the weapon was accidentally
discharged, the contents entering the mouth Of the
doctor and passing up through his head, killing him
instantly. The doctor fell into the wagon and his
distracted brotbern-law fastened for assistance,
but all without avail An inquest was held over
the remains by Esq. Mallory, and a verdict of ac-

Carolina has pursued and retire from the Union at
the earliest possible moment. The peril is not so
imminent; but there are hundreds of other consid-
erations appealing to the justice, the magnaumity
and the honor of the Southern States, which re-
Quire that we act at onco--promptly, decisiYely-
we may say, dctiantly.
Let oil thought Of cooperation" now be buried
in oblivion. We must cooperate only to save
South Carolina from the degradation of being ap-
preached by armed Federal emissaries and to do
this we must make haste to get out Of a Union,
under the flag of which this raid upon sovereign
State is to be conducted. Cooperation is delay
and delay is death. We want no such course to be
pursued by the State of Louisiana. If she has no
sympathy with the cause Of South Carolina, and
the cause Of the South, let her say SO in outright
and downright language. But if she accepts the
issue now rendered by the Federal Government
every day Of delay, whether for cooperation or
anything else is fraught with incaculable mischief
and disaster

Punch defends on "classicaI" grounds the
alleged fact that woman is more obstinate than
mule. If its reasons appear farfctched, it must
be remembered that they are imported from an
cient Rome. That mule is positive will be ad.
mitted by all; Of this muller, the latin word for
woman, is the proper comparative. Any one, by
careful meditation, will see the point of the argu-
ment, and be able to Judge Of its soundness
