The FOLLY OF CANrING ABOUT COMPROMISE
Concerning that portion of Illinois called
Egypt, the ST. Louis Republican says:
We are informed by a gentleman just from
the Ninth Congressional District that there
has been a complete revolution among the
peorle on the war question. John A. Logan,
Congressman from that district, has been ap-
pointed Colonel, and has his regiment about
ready to take the field Many who few
days ago were of the comprotnise stamp are
now enthusiastic for the war. Logan declares
that lie and other compromise men in Con-
gress met in secret concave and determined
to make a last effort. They sent May to
Richmond to ascertain if the Confederates
would entertain, accept or offer any compro-
mise. No compromise could be agreed upon.
they utterly refusing, even though blank
sheet of paper be given them to write their
own terms Logan declares their intention is
to fight, and calls upon all Democrats to rally
around the old flag, and thwart them in their
diabolical efforts to destroy the Government.
SERIOUS AFFRAY.-We learn from Mr.. Col
hY, the eXprrssmnn to Eureka that a serious
aifray occurred at South Fork last saturday
evening. A man named Thomas Stakum got
into dispute with another man, when An
drew MeloRey interfered to prevent fight.
Stakum became so enraged at the interter-
ference that he drew knife and stabbed
Mcloney in the neck, the blade entering the
whole length, and passing downwards into
the chest. The crowd Immediately took
Stnkum in hand, and nearly pounded him to
death. Melouey was alive yesterday morn
ing. but there was little hope Of his recovery.
A cuns able went over from Orleans Flat, On
Sunday, to arrest Stakum, but he was not IN
condition to be removed, and it is said will
not he for a month. h.-Nerada Democrat.

UNIVERSAL BGEGvoLENoE OF WOMEN. The celebrated traveller Ledyard paid the fol- lowing handsome tribute to the female sex:
 Il have heard that women in all countries are civil, obHging, tender and humane. | never addressed myself to them in the lan- guage of docency and friendship, without re- ceiying decent and friendly answer With man it has often been otherwise. In wander ing over the barren plains of inhospitable Denmark; through honest Sweden, and fro zen Lapland; rude and churlish Finland, un- princip pled Russia, and the widespread re- gions of the wandering Tarter; if hungry, dry, cold, wet or sick, the women have ever been friendly, and uniformly so. And have added to this virtue (so worthy the appella- ton of beneyolence) these actions have been performed in so free and kind manner that if I was dry l drank the sweetest draught, and if hungry, ate the coarsest morsel with a double relish

EsFFcr oF THE CRISIS IN PHILADEI.- rmA--Ihe present political and financial difficulty has led to the discharge of a large number of shoemakers, that have heretofore found employment among the wholesale man. utacturers in Philadelphia. This is particu- larly the case with those who manufactured work almost exclusively for the South. The want of order for spring wo2,, and the ab- sence of remittances for goods sold in the fall, has brought about this state of things, though many of the manufacturers think that tho suspension of business will be but temporary. A few manufacturers are still making shoes for the South, but the men on this kind of work are only employed about half their tine, while others have reduced the price of labor A great many tailors, working for larg establishments, are also out of employ ment in that city.

TIE CUBAN PEAsANTRYs MODE OF LIvING.-The Cuban peasantry are usually poorly provided with home comforts y Their houses are huts of palm wattling and mud plastered walls, with coat of white wash and palm-eat thatch. The furniture consists of few hideseat chairs, a table of rough cedar, large water jar, and a board nailed to the wall as shelf; perhaps large wooden crest for the Sundays best, and a few yards of twine stretched from wall to wall to hang clothes on; these form, with stretcher beds for the family, all the ''movables" of a household.

THE RUSSIAN ARMY.-Before the war in the Crimea the Russian army was l,l40, 900 men, and during that war it was almost dou- bled, In 1858 it was nearly 1000, ,000, which was at the rate of soldier for every sixty two of the population. A further deduction has since been made, and it is now 850,000 After the peace, the Emperor decided, that to recompense the country for the sacrifice it supported, no levy should take place for three years; that delay expired in 1859, and now a new exemption for three years has been ac- cnrlcl
