THE PROVISIONAL CAPITAL OF THE NEW COME DERACY
The city of Montgomery, the capital of abama
has assumed such sudden Importance as the cap
tai of the Southern contederacy and the seat of the
Federal operations of the new Government, that
give below brief sketch of its locality and sur
roundings. 1t is situated on the left bank of the
Alabama river, 33l miles by water from Mobile,
and is 839 miles from Washington, D. G. 1t is the
second city in the State in respect to trade aud
population, and is one of the most fourishipg in
land towns of the Southern States possessing great
facilities for communication with the surrounding
country. For steamboat navigation the Alabama
river is one of the best in the Union, the largest
steamers ascending to this point from Mobile. The
city is also the Western termination of the Mont
gomery and West Point Railroad. 1t contains sew
eral extensive iron foundres, mills, factories, large
warehouses, numerous elegant stores and private
residences. The cotton shipped at this place annu.
ally amounts to about one hundred thousand bales.
The public records were removed from Tuscaloosa
to Montgomery in November, l847. The State
House destroyed by fire in 1919, and another
one erected On the same site in 1851 The
present population of the city is not far from I6 000
and it is probable that with all its natural advan-
tages, the fact of its present selection the South
ern capital will soon place it in the first rank of
Southern cities.

SUDDEN DEATH OF Hon. JOHN A. ROCKWELL, OF
Conn, AT WAsHrNGToN.-The city of Washington
was grieved and shocked this morning on learning 2
that the Hon. John A. Rockwell, of Connecticut,
was found dead in his chamber, at Mrs. Ulrich' s
boarding house, last night. On Saturday he COM
planned of what he regarded neuralgia aAec-
ton in his breast but out and about yesterday,
apparently we'll. Between eight and nine p NJ
he was in the rooms of Baron Grabbo, of the Rus
sian Legation, lin the same house,) and smoked a
cigar while there. Shortly after retiring to his
own room, feeling unwel, he dispatched a servant
for DR.. Stone, who promptly repaired to him.
Entering the chamber, he at first supposed that
MIR. Rockwell had stepped into some other apart
ment, and turning to leave the room to inquire for
him, be discovered his body lying upon the floor
by the side of the bed. Mr.. r. had undressed,
turned down the bed clothes. and, evidently, when
in the act of getting into bed had fallen forward,
his head lying against the wall and bent under his
breast, as it were. Life was quite extinct when
the body was thus discovered BY Dr. Stone. His
death was evidently caused by apoplexy. MIR.
Rockwell had served some years in Congress, from
Connecticut, and his age is supposed to have been
about tfty-eight. He was gentleman of fine mind
and attainments and high character, and was we'll
known, to the public men of the country especial
ly.-Wash. Star, Feb. IL.
THE CHAMPION SKATER.-H. C. Carr, of Union
Springs, N. Y, who has challenged the world for
trial OF speed on skates was at Auburn last week,
and IN company with party of young gentlemen
gave specimen of his quality on the lake. The
Advertiser speaks Of him as follows:
CATER seeing the gentleman on the ice and wit
Messing some of his treme endous bursts of speed
ready to believe that under favorable circum-
stances, with good ice and strong, steady wind, he
can do his mile in two minutes. His strides, when
under full motion about % feet, and he passes
our best skaters as easily as Flora Temple would
pass our friend Martin Calvin's mail wagon. One
fair and square jump, clear from the ice, measured
IS feet and inches, and he offered to bet S25 that
he could add three feet to that length, with no
takers. Mr.. Carr came out yesterday for the pur-
pose of accommodating the man who offered to bet
SlO0 through the Union, several days ago, that he
faster than any person could skate the same dis
tance. 1t is needless, perhaps, to say that, after
diligent inquiry at the Union office and elsewhere,
no person could be found willing to back the Union
challenge"

HOLIDAY STREET Observation-Disclosures
the ipclemency of the weather and the bad con-

Dundreary," but of his brother 'Sam," which it
was impossible for the "Lord" to find, and the has

dience laughing from first to last. The same bill

Several Scotch mountain sheep have recently
been introduced into Morris county, N. j., on the
farm of S. T. Headley, Esq. Their wool is de-
scribed as being of better quality than any other
long wooled breed-long, wavy and soft, with no
harsh or wiry feeling like most of the mountain
bFeeds-peculiary adapted to worsted stuffs, and
the carcass is said to give the very best and high
est favored mutton. They live and thrive on their
native mountains on very coarse vegetation, and
are kept in very large focks of 900 to Is, 900 Of
ten. Those in this country appear docie and
quiet, have black or spotted faces with a symmet-
rical form of head, neck and body, unsurpassed by
any animal of the wooy kind. Lambs four months
old weigh eighty pounds each.

MoHAMMEDAN1sM TO BE INAUGURArEp IN PARrs.-
A travelled Turk, Hadji Abd-eI-Hamid by name,
has become sufficiently cosmopolitan in his tastes to
be willing to take up his permanent abode among
dogs OF intidels." He has established himself,
with his family, in Paris, and, being still good
Mahommedan, he proposes to erect there mosque,
and, in connection with it, Eastern inn, or cara
vanserai, baths la Turk, and a school for instruc-
ton in the Koran. As his countrymen will thus be
enabled to eat, lodge, bathe and pray, in the man
ner most agreeable to the prophet, be expects to
attract crowds Of them to the French capital. The
Parisians are, of course, delighted at the prospect
OF seeing minarets outside an engraving, and of
hearing the muezzin call the faithful to prayer.
