A MAN AND WOMAN BITTEN BY A CAT IN
CHURcH.-On Sunday week a rabid cat found its
way into Trinity Church, King street, NY, during
divine service, and after roaming about for some
time, it entered Mr. Gooderham's pew, and before
it was expelled bit Miss Gooderham on the hand.
The animal was subsequently caught by the sex
ton, Mr. Mulligan, and while he carrying it out
bit him on the hand and scratched him. Mr. Null
ligan regarded the wounds as trifing, and paid no
attention to them A few days afterward his
hand and arm began to swell in fearful manner,
and DIR Small was called in. Everything was done
which medical skill could suggest, but unhappily
it was of no avail. Mr. Mulligan fingered in great
agony till early hour yesterday morning, when
death put end to his sufferines. Miss Gooder-
ham is also very i'll, from the effects of the bite
which she received, and it has been deemed proper
to amputate one Of her fingers

A NICE PLACE TO LIVE INA correspondent
writing from Charleston S c. says:
| have written you, several occasions some
of the pecuiarities of Charleston and its leople.
| will name another just here:
Churlestonians take care Of their oH men.-
When man gets old here, especially if he bears
good character, Office is always provided
for him, where the duties are light and agreea-
ble l know of large number of old gentlemen
here who would suffer much but for such arrange
ments these. Our Custom House, Port Ward
ems Office. and other public offices here, furnish
comfortable living to deserving old age, which
otherwise would feel the pinch of want.
Charleston provides for her yo""g men.-It is
remarkable that Banks are filled with very
young men. The old theory is exploded here.
that middle-aged, or steady old men, most
liable for great moneyed concerns. In the nine
Banks of this city only four Of the Presidents are
over fifty years of age and not of the Cashiers
exceed forty, and the tellers and Book-keepers
are all very young men, especially in the Bank Of
Charleston, where there not less than twenty
five all told and but one man in the house uses
specacles, and be is near-sighted. When faith
full officer Of these Banks become superanuatcd,
they vote him a stipend sufficient for a decent
support, and let him go free to work where he
pleases, or do nothing if he chooses. Old and
faithful servants not turned out here ster-
lie pastures, to Craze and die.

SPEECH OF SENATOR BREcKINR1DGE.-On the
2nd inst. the Hon Jno. G. Breckenridge addressed
the members Of the Kentucky Legislature for
about two hours He favored border State Con-
venton, with the Crittenden amendments as an
ultimatum, and intinlated if the seeded States
will not come back upon these terms, the only
appropriate and safe resting place of the Border
States is in the bosom Of the Southern Confedera-
cy. The bill for the election of delegates to the
Border State Convention, which had previously
passed the House, was passed in the Senate after
the delivery of the speech.

NINTH vOLUME--NUMBER 40.

the great object of the present administration Is
emancipation. He argued that tue negroes If
emancipated could never be got out of the country.
The white people having the means would all
leave. None would remain but the poor. The
negroes equalling, if not outnumbering, tho
whites, would strive to gain equality White men
would see their daughters escorted by negroes
they would have to sit in the jury boz with them;
and their children aud negro children would 90 to
the same school. All this was truly revolving but
ii vas what the Black Republicans wished aud
intended to bring about. If we would avoid it,
we must go with the Confederate States. Loud
cheers. Geo Washington was great secessOuist.
TAppause He was stakeholder, secessionist,
and disunionist Great applause He was
born under the British Government and won dis
tinctien in the British Army under Braddoek.
He was strongly attached to the British Govern.
ment but when that government tried to lay an
unjust tax on Tea he seeded from Great Britain.
Loud applause. f.E
North Carolina and other States seeded; they
would not pay the two pence a pound on Tea.
The tax could not have impoverished them; but it
was wrong, it unjust aud they would not pay
it. We have much more cause to secede from the
North Geo. Washington was again a seoes-
sionist The government Of the old confederation
did not suit him, although it was a union Of 10
States and declared to be perpetual, Washington
was in favor of dissolving it. Convention was
called and Constitution was formed and submit
ted to the States. This Constitution was never
submitted to the people of any one State. Nine
of the thirteen States accepted it. North Caro-
lima refused to accept it. For two years she re.
maincd an independent nation, when seeing that
the Constitution worked well she accepted it aud
went into the Union. But this Constitution was
never submitted to the people, and the very men
who are now denouncing States for not submitting
Constitutions to the people, arc very anxious TO
continue living under it,
Mr. Clingnan contended that if the whole South
would unite there would be no danger Of war The
States that had seeded could not be brought back;
our only hope for safety was to join them. He dis
cussed the Morrill, Tariff at length and bitterly
denounced it. On the two articles Of salt and
iron-artices that we're essential to every farmer
in the country, the duties had been increased one
hundred per cent Many other articles had been
increased in the same ratio Mr. q. spoke of the
benefccnt effects of secession on North Carolina
how it would build up her seaports and manu-.
featuring interests He described old Abe Lin
coins flight in a manner that repeatedly brought
down the house. and compared him with that
noble son of the South, President Davis.
We would like to give the speech Of Mr. Cling
man in full but want of space forbids it. The
speech was worthy of his own fame, and Of the
State that has so often delighted to honor him.
