The American News-boys.

The following readable, interesting para
graph, we clip from the Springfield (Mass.)
Republican, relative to that class of humanity
known as news boys:
We climbed six or seven flights of stairs
OBJ Sabbath evening to attend the weekly
meeting of the news-boys in their lodging
rooms, above the New York San 0fiice, on
Fulton. street. 1t would have paid one for
a good deal more trouble, the simple sight
of that crowd of rolloOking boys, so good
natured, and so happy, in spite of their hard
fortunes. Amid all the Christian effort put
forth for the neglected childhood of this
city, there is none more deserving Of en-
couragement than this. The New York
newsboy is a peculiarly home institution /;
usually little ragged rascal. His face is an
odd mixture of wickednesS, shrewdness aud
good nature. A face from which pitiiess
fate has crushed out all innocent childhood,
crossing it instead with the hard lines of a
premature and misshapen manhood.
He is usually an orphan, or worse than
an orphan he has no mother to love him,
no sister to cherish him, no home to shelter
him. Of course he lies and swears, and,
under q great stress of temptation, may
steal; but not when he can sell papers
enough to keep him from stsrying. He is
no relation TO the street beggar; he is made
of better stuff. The elements of true man
hood are in him, for he willingly works and
suffers TO support himself honestly.

The Convention has been in secret session
nearly all day.
Ben. Hill introduced a substitute. for the
benefit of oil Secessiouists but il 10 was lost.
Subsequently, he voted for the ordinance,
declaring, as he did so, that as Georgia had
determined for Secession he would share her
fate, for veal OF woe.
Judge Linton said that while be approved
Of the ordinance, he saw no reason for it's
adoption now, he, therefore, would not vote
for nor sign it.
NlLLEDGEvILLE, GA, january co. The
ordinance declaring the Secession of
Georgia from the United States passed the
State Convention, at two o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Yeas 20S, nays So
A motion to postpone operations of the
ordinance until the Sd Of March, was lost BY
about thirty majority. Alex. H. Stephens
and Hersehell V. Johnson are among those
who voted against the ordinance.
A resolution was adopted to continue the
present postal and revenue system until it
shall be ordered otherwise; also to con ,inue
all the civil Federal officers. The ordinance
of Secession was ordered to be engrossetg on
parchment and to be signed on Monday at
noon.

streams Of wealth flowing no where through
the Augean Stables of our wretch dness,
want and violence at home. Why do these
men prowl about ready TO take life Be-
cause every one has TO measure the worth of
life by his own standard. Life means TO
them squalor, filth, despair he knows moth.
ing of the affections and joys which make
like valuable to others. Carrion breeds
maggots. Carcasses will call buzzards, not
birds Of Paradise, together. And all the
gross crimes are engendered in those lives
which are living decays.
The speaker then estimated the great
amount Of evil which might be prevented if
the money spent for dogmas and missions
were taken for Asylums for Inebriates and
Idiots and for adult schools. To obtain q
new creature we need the music of higher
social life and charity. Happier homes must
charm away the evil spirit. When the earth
was a marsh only reptiles came to 1t. When
it was 3 swamp-forest only growls and sDarls
were heard Man came only when earth
was prepared for such a being. The evils are
children of discora. When Harmonious con-
ditions come their music will drive away the
evil spirit.

NEW YORK; January 2O.-A special dis
patCh to the Commercial Advertiser, says Col.
Huger of the Army, and Com. Shubrick. of
the Navy, have had an interview with Col.
Hsyne, in wbich'they advised him to consult
further with Gov. Piekens before making
any demand upon the President for the sur
render of Fort Sumter, and it is understood
that be has taken their advice. The previous
reports that he had already mado such de-
mana'ase therefore entirely without founda-
tion. .....
Hen. Mr.. Rives has left Washington for
Virginia, and professed himself to be greatly
encouraged, after interviews with prominent
Northern politicians, at the prospect of adj
iustIHent, at least so far az 20 retain the bor-
der States in the Union: He was also very
hopeful Of final pacific settlement Of the
controversy that has so nearly rent us in
twain.
WAsE1NGToN, January 20--The minority
report from the Committee of Thirty. three,
sgnedby Taylor, of La, Phelps, of Missouri,
Rusk, of Ark, Whitley, Of Del, and Wins
low, Of N. c., embrace, in substance, the fol-
lowing:
Ths report says the present difficulties can
only be Temedied by amendments to the
Constitution, aud suggests that the amend
ments proposed in the Crittenden resolu-
tioDS, II adopted, would restore tranquility
a foundation that it-could never be shaken.
These amendments, the report asserts, would
not in reality change the Constitution they
wOald only have the effect of restoring il
by the added provisions of what it was in
point of fact on the day Of its adoption
through the operation of the circumstances
which then surrounded it and which erected
the barriers against the present sectional
contest as constitutional, provisions would
now. If a constitutional najority can not be
united in the support of the Crittenden res
Olutions OF the substance of them, then q
! dissolution of the Union is inevitable.
! The reportrecommends that steps be taken
/ for calling Convention of the States with "a
| view for peaceable separation, by providing
for partition Of the property of the United
States, settling terms by which the com
mercial Intercourse between the separated
States shall be conducted, and making a
/ permanent arrangement with respect to the
navigation Of the Mississippi River.
The report gives what the signers of II
/ consider a false account of the rise and pro
/ gress of the slavery agitation which has pro.
dueed the existing difficulties.

Death of KinG Frederiolt william Nv.

A telegram from Cape Race announces the
death of the King of Prussia. His Majesty,
King Frederick William w., son of Fred
eTick William Ill, was born on October Is,
1875. The very greatest care was bestowed
upon his education, and some of the most
distinguished men of the day were his in
structors The late Monarch was present at
most of the great battles fought in 1919, 1914
and 1916, although he was not entrusted
with any command. He was called to the
throne in l940 by the death of his father, and
distinguished his accession by repairing sew
ersl of the injuries which had grown out of
his predecessors system of government But
the liberality that marked the early part of
King Frederick Williams reign was not
kept up. The Constitution, promised in 1918,
was long delayed and after it was granted,
the King, on more than one occasion, sought
the aid of the Chambers to release him from
the provisions that guaranteed representa-
| tive government.
During the Crimean war, the King, in en-
deavoriDg to keep friends with either party,
| lost the regard of both He showed himself
70 be time serving, vacillating and insincere.
| With all his faults, however, Frederick
| William was a sincere friend of science and
the arts. He surrounded his throne with
eminent men. His Majesty bad been in ex-
ceediugly bad health for several years, during
which time the Government of the Kingdom
was administered by his brother, the late
Prince Regent, but now Frederick William
v. The new King is generally regarded as
an Hbsolutist and opposed 10 popular repre-
sCntation. 1t has been predicted that, upon
his ascending the throne, Prussia would have
a strsDg Government, or undergo revolu-
tion. He is exceedingly mbitious--resolute
and determined in his views--and has made
| Frederick the Great a model for all his con-
duet. Hi, Majesty's eldest son married the
Princess Royal of England.

There are 100 cases of suicide officially
registered in New York andsBrooklyn for
the byeone year. This, of course, can form
but an approximate of the number of per-
sons who have been really guilty Of JetO de
Sc during that period, as It includes merely
those cases in which death has resulted, or
in which legal proceedings were takeni
while Of the large number recorded as
''found drowned, probably two-thirds at
least were voluntary suicides; and a still
larger number, doubtless, are unknown and
unregistered. Indeed, the total number of
suicides during the year must exceed no man
can say how much, those that are actually
known.
OF the modes and agencies of suicide current
in New York, no less than forty-four, or
nearly oDe-half of the whole number of
cases, used p0iSOHs of various kinds, mostly
arsenic ami laudanum; fourteen used the
rezor, ten the rope, ten pistoled themselves
and seven drowned themselves. Besides
these, there are some very singular cases--
as that of the poor fellow who impaled him
self on the iron picket in Duane-street and
''writhed at leisure round the bloody stakei
that of the woman who disemboweled her
self; the boy, fifteen years old, who hung
himself in the store ia Park-roVi woman
who inhaled carbOpie acid gas another
woman who used stramOniumi third, OK
alie acid; a fourth, Paris green; tFO meR
used cyanide Of potassium, and so on. t

No SLAVERY IN New MExIoo.-The repre-
sentative from New Mexico in Congress de-
territory, notwithstanding all the efforts of
Government in its favor. 1t is merely a
system of apprenticeship, or temporary vol
untary service, whereby a man is enabled to
borrow money or contract debt in consid-
Grafton of personal services for a stipulated
period. While the law enforces the fulfil
ment of this contract, it secures to the peon
the right of changing his services when he
considers himself unfairly treated. The
social or civil rights of the individual is not
impaired by this system, which has none of
the elements of slavery.
