A ROYAL TRAGEDY IN BoKHARA.-A letter from
St Petersburg says 1--WE have received i'm
portant news from Bokhara. journal announces
that the Emr Nassura Beadur has died from
poison The crime was, it is stated, committed
with the help of Jewish phys by the wife of
the Emir, who wished to place man belonging to
her tribe at the head of the Government. The
poison acted slowly, and the Emir suspected his
wife, who afterwards avowed the fact, and she was
executed a few days before the death of her hus-
band. Nassurla Beadur, who had reigned 80
years. transferred the Government five days before
his death to his eldest son. The Bokharians were
well satisfied with the deceased, and the Chivaens
and Kokanzor feared him. He always endeavored
to keep on friendly terms with Russia and to favor
commercial relations with that power. Nothing is
precisely known as to the character of the new
Emir, but he appears to be as we'll disposed to-

Tonight, MIR. Lincoln held a sort of informal re.
ception, and l was surprised to see this pair of
ultras standing before Old Abe for some time, and
the whole trio smiling, not pleasantly, but with
that forced mirth which people assume when they
feel uncomfortable Mr.. Lincoln did not ask them
to be seated, but told them story about the lights
which used to be placed in the dome of the Capitol,
and against which all sorts of birds Knocked out
their brains. Some one remarked that the foul
birds were now to be knocked down inside the
Capitol, and Mr.. Lincoln became suddenly
serious
In a new suit of black, with neat boots and clean
shirt, Old Abe looked positively handsome. The
Southern ladies stopping at Wiliards say he is az
rough bear, and certainly he don't stand much
dignity. think he feels constrained at his forced
silence, and is anxious to relieve himself by speak
ing his mind.
Mr.. Lincoln's GOODNESS towards the ultras, anc
Mr.. Stewards familiarity, are the grounds for the
rumors of compromise. These things have muct
alarmed Mr.. Greeley, who came on to-day, and ha
been flying about town like comet. He has no
been caught near Mr.. Lincoln yet. To friends b
remarked sarcastically upon Mr.. Lincon's flight
believing like Thaddeus Stevens, that he (Greeley
would have come the rough, but was politely re
questsd to remember st. Louis and bis lecture.

THE UNITED STATES TROOPS ON THE RIO GRANDE.
The Brownsville correspondent of the New Or
leans Crescent in his letter of the 7th inst says of
the United States troops there and at other points
near by, and numbering some 400 well drilled men:
Texas needs an army just about as strong that
now in her territory, and l think it would be the
best thing if she adopted Uncle Sans contracts,
and accepted the forces in this State under Gen.
Twiggs into her service.
The troops at this place and on the river have
not been paid up recently, and in sad state of
discomfort, if | am to believe general report
Their situation is peculiar, for even if they
tinue in their present service there is no telling
when they will be paid; and if they leave it, they
are here without dollar, and they do not know
what penalties might follow them. They are men
capable of reading, of good thinking faculties, in
receipt of tine newspapers, and they would be re-
markable class if they could keep from forming
conclusions as to the present crisis. Many of them
are Southern men, others favorable to the
South, and but few of them are attached to the
North. 1t is impossible to make such men ma
chimes for carrying out the follies of old Scott.

SALT FOR TIE THROAT In these
day S when diseases of the throat are SO
universally prevalent, and so many cases
fatal, we feel it our duty TO say word
in behalf Of simple, and what has been
with US a most eitectual preventive, if not
positive cure of sore throat. For many
years past, indeed we may say during the
whole Of life of more than forty years,
we have been subject to sore throat, an l
more particularly to a dry hacking cough
which was not only distressing to our
selves, but to our friends and to those with
whom we were brought into business con-
tact. Last fall we were induced to try
what virtue there was in common salt.
We commenced by using it three times a
day, morning, noon, and night. We dis
solved a large table spoonful of pure ia
BILE salt in about a half small tumbler
full of cold water. With this we gargled
the throat most thoroughly just before
meal time. The result has been that
during the entire winter we were not only
free from the usual coughs and colds to
which, as far as our memory extends, we
have always been subject, but the hacking
cough has entirely disappeared. We at
tribute these satisfactory results solely to
the use of the salt gargle, and do most
cordially recommend trial Of it to those
OF our readers who are subject to diseases
of the throat.
Many persons who have never tried
the salt gargle, have the impression that
il is unpleasant. Such is not the case.
On the contrary, it is pleasant, and after
a few days use, no person who loves a
nice clean mouth, and first rate sharp
ener of the appetite, will abandon it.--r

beaten, tormented, dirked, shot or hung.
Gods law, which says, Thou shall nos'
kill " is reversed and by slavery reads,
4" Thou shalt KILL" The civil law which
provides that no man shall be condemned
except by jury Of his peers is utterly
abolished by slavery, whose institute
reads, "and every man who renders him
self obnoxious to the suspicion of the
slaveholdng power, must run for life,
leaving all his property to the rapacity
of his prosecutors nor open his mouth till
he is north OF Mason's and Dixons; or
must die at the ropes end from the limb
Of the nearest tree
This is one part of slavery, and fair
average Of all its parts. Can it ever be
in allegiance, think you, to common law?
1t is in open rebellion now, but it has
been in covert rebellion, according TO its
own confession, for thirty years 1t has
openly made war on the United States of
late; but that, with all its turpitude, Is TO
be regarded as among its more honorable
acts. Having drawn the armies of the
nation upon itself, it is to be spared p
Shall our war making power assume the
responsibility of sparing this monstrosity
to perpetrate fresh murders without num-
ber-raise new conspiracies and blacken
all our horizon with crime? Must our
soldiers pour out their blood like water
to reduce the present horde of rebels,
only to prepare the way for future rebels
to be successful, the government will have
the responsibility on its hands of contin-
uing slavery. 1t may then abolish it.
If it does not it will be recreant to duty,'
false to humanity. God, by every indi-
cation of his providence, is saying to the
nation, Let my people co, that they may
Seroe me-" Shall The government fight
against God? The Shareholders have
abolished the league and covenant Of the
Constitution, and shall we endeavor to-
patch up its shreds for the sake of cover
ing the greatest enormity the sun shines
on? We are not bound to kill Johnthe
Baptist, although we promised Herodias,
with an oath, TO give her whatsoever she
should ask. The oath was void from the
moment she asked what would be im-
moral and illegal in us to give. Besides,
war makes slaves the creatures of the
yictors and if so, all humanity cries out
imploringly to our rulers, "let the peo-
pie 60" If they cannot be liberated the
nationality will be crushed. God has
said 4" the kingdom and the nation that
will not serve me shall PERISH" and he
will make good his word. Even if such
a nation could exist in form it would be
nothing but Il destroying canker upon all
the joys and all the hopes, and all the
tights of every one Of human kind. Shall
We not listen TO and obey Gods voice
Shall it not be said of u.s. that judgment
S turned away backward, and justice
itandeth afar off, for the truth is fallen
N the street, and equity cannot enter?"
Ii so the armies are vain, the war is with
out meaning, our sacrifice will be una
7aiIing, and posterity will give verdict
over defunct nation, "Died by COM
)ination of circumstances"

IMPLEMENTs.--Tbe Importance Of
employing the best of agricultural imple-
ments never was greater than now. Their
prices have not risen. Their quality is
improving. The profits of farming will
for certainty advance this year, over or
dinary years. The farmers can afford to
encourage the manufacturers and it
would be bad policy for all parties, if they
were to use this year an implement so old,
and out of date, as regards Improvement,
that hand would do but three-fourths as
much with it in day as with better one.

DON'T KILL THE BWDs.-Their songs
and their beautiful plumage all delight
US. They do us more good by keeping
insects within bounds than injury in any
and all ways. The division of labor be-
tween each father bird and mother as
saith Cowper, in rearing and instrueting
their young, is a lesson which all may
study. If any one is making war upon
the insect-devouring birds, so much need
ed TO deliver US from the insect veracity,
and to teach US domestic and moral les
sons, he might be better employed.
