"The President elect said within The last as
hours to a prominent Politician Ofthis State,
that the Border States proposition would be
worth considering only in case provision

QUESTION Of any more territory without The

The Michigan Legislature is discussing the
establishment of a reform home for girls in
connection with the Reform School at Ian
sing. The Detroit Advertiser publishes a
long letter setting forth the advantages de-
rived from the Industrial School for girls,
near Lancaster, Mass We should have such
an Institution in Ohio. There are in all our
large cities girls who are growing up to a
life Of shame and vice, simply for the want
of instruction and care. We see them every
day in our streets, and our prisons and brothels
are supplied from just such women as these
vagrant girls Let us haveAa reform of this
kind in this State. Our Reform Farm for
boys is accomplishing much good, and it is
wrong to shut out girls from like Oeni6cial
effects.

a SECESSION FIx.-The Constitution Ofthe
State Of Mississippi prescribes that no person
shall BE a Senator unless he Be citizen Of The
United States no person can be Governor u1-
less he Be citizen Of ths United States and no
person can be a voter unless he be a citizen Of
the United States. Now, if the act of secession
has really taken Mississippi out of the Union,
her Governor, ermembers ofthe Legislature,
her inhabitants, are all divested Of their citi-
zenshiP; they are consequently incompetent
to act, and what they do must be "null and
avoid, and no law"

SEIZURE OF MUsKETs AT New YoRK.-0n
Thursday afternoon a qantitity of u S.'mus-
kets, evidently just from repair shop, were
seized by the police just as they were being
shipped on board the steamer Monticello,
which had steam up ready to start upon her
regular trip to Savannah. The muskets were
packed in boxes, containing twenty-five each,
and were shipped with no address, but sim

There were $50 muskets, which were taken in
charge by the police.

The Cincinnati Commercial in speaking of
the law against cOnfning fugitive slaves in
county jails, and its application in the case
of the girl Lucy, says
'The only effect of the law was to remove
the girl from a place in jail, where she might
have been comfortable, and where she might
have been accessible to her friends, to a den
in the Post Office, in the hands of u S. Mar
shal exclusively"
On the cOntrary she was removed from an
ordinary dark and unpleasant cell in jail, to
light airy and very comfortable rooms in
the United States building. Whatever may
be said about the principle of the statute, in
this case, it cOnduced greatly to the comfort
of the girl. She was allowed also to see her
visitors.

The doctrine Of the Republicans with
regard to Slavery, is tersely stated by
Mr, Sherman of Ohio as follows:
at believe that Slavery is a local Institution
municipal in its character, protected by State
laws, having rights exclusively within those
States, having no rights beyond those States,
except the rights to recapture fugitive who
escape from service. Believing as | do,
that that is the correct construction of the
Constitution, 1 never viii, whatever may be
the consequences, vote for proposition to

New and A.torishInr corrop Fields.

John Mitchell, 'the Irish Patriot" as he
delights to call himself has become somewhat
famous in America, first as distinguished
foreigner, and later by his agonizing wish,
frequently expressed, ''to own a good planta-
ton well stocked with niggers." Mitchell is
now in Paris corresponding with the Charles
ton Mercury. In a letter dated December
18th, he thus brings to light new cotton
field, which produces six times as much cot
ton as all the Southern States put together,
ard is capable Of greatly increasing that
amount. This paragraph must have been
decidedly unpalatable to the Southern readers
of the Mercury:
"NoW China, at present, produces even six.
times as much cotton as all your Southern
States put t6gether-not of the finest kind,
indeed, but Of the sort of which nankeen is
made, in which about three hundred millions
of people are clothed every day. Yet, where
that cotton grows, it is calculated that other
and better cotton may grow; and the mag
nifcent alluyial valleys of Central China, all
around the Hoan-Ho and the Yang-tse-Kiang
rivers, are certainly as capable of producing
the most valuable kinds Of that useful plant
as are the valleys of the Mississippi and the
Alabama Labor, also, is far more abund-
ant and costs literally nothing at all. Once
the country is subjected, English cotton
growers may have millions of laborers, all
anxious to work fol their bare subsistence, for
what would subsist one negro would be a
luxurious supply for five Cinnamon. The
Cinnamon, too, viii be apprentices, not slaves
the spirit Of the age forbids-and so there
win be no obligations to care for them, to
feed and clothe them. In short if the cult
vation once begins on those two rivers, you
may bid adieu to the Manchester and Liver
pool markets; and that's the meaning of the
China war"

ResoIDed, That the two hundred thousand
Democrats OF Ohio send to the people of the
United States, both North and South, greet

it be proper for them to take into considera

METEoaIc MssmEs.-We learn from the
Belyidere (m.) Standard, that a meteOric
stone fell on Friday morning last, about two
milea from Sycamore, on the road to Genoa.
It fell with such shock as to jar the ground
like an earthquake, on a small scale, and with
noise Ike heavy thunder. The report was
heard By several in Belvidere. The stone is
judged to weigh about ton, and is reported
to look as if it was half iron. The ground
about it for the space Of halfan acre is strewn
with a substance like ashes or cinders.

ised would follow so rapidly.

THE CASE OF CAPr. ARMSTRONG.

Capt. Armstrong, late Commander of the
Navy-yard at Pensacola win probably be de-
prived of the ceremony of q court-martial,
and be summarily stricken from the roll of
the Navy without trial, after the manner
Of General Jackson in the case of Col.
Gates. This will, Of course, be very unsatis-
factory to Capt Armstrong, who will, un-
dOubtedly, seek trial according to the regu-
lations, where he will attempt to defend him
self and bring out some new incidents of the
secession scheme.

POSITION OF THE REPUBLICANS.

A canvass of the Republican side of the
House was taken to-day, and eigaty-two
members expressed their determined oppOsi-
ton to all compromises under menace, as
tendingto demorslize the Government and
establish the Mexican rule, in the United
States, of rebellion against the will of the ma
jority legally expressed. They pronounced,
under present circumstances at least against
amendments to the Constitution, or the es-
tabIishment of more slave territory, or the
unsolicited admission of Slave States. In
this expression the eighty-two are unani-
nous. About a dozen Republicans from
various States declined to state at present how
far they would go.

THE TREASURY.

The amount of money asked for by Gen.
Dix to put the Treasury upon proper basis
has surI rised no one. It is stated upon good
authority that Cobb has diminished in some
way the Treasury between four and five mil
lions more than his last report demonstrated.
1t is thought by many that this money has
gone to aid the Southern secessionists in their
reasonable scheme.
