SOMETHING ABOUT PUBLIC CRED1T.-The
National Inteltigencer says: SIT seems to be
overlooked by the projectors of the South
ern Confederscy, that the theory on which
it is formed and founded must ever be as
fatal to the public credit of such an aggrega-
ton of States as its practical exercise by
South Carolina has proved fatal to that Of
the present Union. The Federative Govern
ment which once admits the right of Seces-
sion on the part of its constituents, can from
that moment give no guarantees which will
command the confidence of capitalists.
Still less can government founded by
virtue of this principle, and therefore pledged
to its recognition, expect to borrow money
on such shifting and uncertain basis of
political organization. AS at any moment a
capricious State might, by her secession,
bring the finances reared on such a sandy
foundation to utter confusion and overthrow
it is obvious that the money-lenders would
ever be exceedingly chary of investments in
such a fragile structure Of nominal govern
ment.' .I.H

Warm. Bath WaEer-The Question of
.1 Endurance Tested. a-
Smith was man who never permitted
himselft to be outdone-he could do whatever
any body else could. Smith met Brown in
a BATHROOM, and Brown, knowing the Others
peculiar conceit, said that he Brown could
endure hotter bath than any living man.
Thereat Smith fred up, and bet was made.
Two bathing tubs were prepared with six
inches of cold water in each. The fellows
stripped, and separated by cloth partition,
each got in and let on the hot water at the
word--the wager being who should stay in
the longest with the hot water running.
Smith drew up his feet as far as possible
from the boiling stream, while Brown pulled
out the plug in the bottom of his tub. After
about half minute quoth Smith: 7r
How Is it Brown-pretty warm?"
Yes" says the other "it's getting al
mighty hot, but guess 1 can hold out
minute yet"

Fifteen seconds, equal to half an hour by
Smiths imaginary watch

20, it's nearly up to bilin' pint - Oh,
Christopher W answered the diabolical villain,
who was lying in the empty tub, while the
hot water passed out of the escape-pipe.
By this time Smith was splurging about
like boiled lobster, and called again:
81 Say, over there-hows it now?n
Hot as the devil !" replied Brown; but
whewl sciss-s s!-guess / can hold out an
other minute"
"The bel's.fre you can" shrieked the
now boiling Smith, who rolled out and
bolted through the partition, expecting to
find the other quite cooked.
You internal rascal why didn't you put
the plug inn
"Why, didn't agree to-" said the imper-
turbable joker; "why'n the thunder didn't
you leave yours out?"

UnfRvOrable News from Southern Italy
Dangerous State Of Affairs in SiciIy-Alex-
andre Dumas and his Mischief. Making.
The Turin correspondent Of the London
Times writes on the 18th ult:
The news from the Two Sicilies is in the
same melancholy strain all public and pri-
Vate intelligence from the south seems cal
culated to cast gloomier cloud on the think
ing minds of the North. This latter will de-
serve no little credit, if it ultimately succeeds
in bringingto reason the more senseless parts
Of the Peninsula. By an official statement in
to days OpiniOHe we learn that Farini is i'll
at Naples, and that his son-in-law and pri-
vate Secretary, Cavaliere Riccardi, is pros
trate with q mortal complaint. The news
last evening was that he was dead. The
young bride Of this amiabe and accomplished
youth, Ada FariDi, has just embarked at
Genoa, together with her mother on We'd
nesday. evening last. She can only have
reached Naples in time to receive his parting
breath. This is an awkward moment for the
Kings Lieutenant in the Southern King
dom to be afflicted, either with personal
indisposition or with family calamities
and the worst is that Farini has always
been in the enjoyment Of strong health, and
is still in the prime of manhood.
Matters bear an even more ominous look
in Sicily. A gentleman who had accomDan-
led the Royal Lieutenant MOntezemOlO to
Palermo, and has Just returned, describes
the state of the island in very dark hues.
Murder stalks abroad, and the police is ut
teTly powerless At Palermo an officer ia
the Customs was shot dead on the 9th as he
was walking home in the evening.
In Monrealo, on the evening of the Sth, as
Michele Polizzi was talking with one La
mantio in the street, he was struck by a bull
let, which went through him and his COM
panion, and killed them both on the spot.
Polizzi was a bold, violent bad man. He
had been bad subject in past times, but
upon the rising Of Sicily he lent his stalwart
arm to the cause of freedom, and, because he
loved much, much was forgiven him by Ga
ribaldi, always so generous to those who
fight for their country.
Among the very worst workers of popular
mischief is man who, as a stranger, has of
course no feeling for the country he is tear
ing TO pieces, q man who everywhere else
would merely be laughed at, but whose
flashing talents and epigrammatic asthmatio
French style, is not without its baIeful influ
ence among those light. minded, exctable
Southern people. | allude to NJ. Alexandra
Dumas. Goaded TO madness by his dismissal
from the Royal Museum, and his election
from the Paradise of the Chiatamoue, he has
set up as journalist, and his independents a
paper written almost entirely by himself in
quaint semi-barbarous, but racy, Italian,
has become most efficient firebrand. The
mans assurance, his uncompromising lies,
may be amusing to those who read them at
distance, but they do incalculable harm on
the spot where they too freely circulate.
