A writer in the Raleigh (N.C O. Standard gives
the following instances Of the working of the Stay
Only yesterday, o. man refused to pay his hotel
bill upon the ground that the collection OF it could
not be forced by law, whereupon The creditor feed
the party to the ground with his fist, and forced
him by persenal violence TO pay the debt. This
affair gives rise to criminal prosecution some day,
and possibly to civil suit for damages. Last week,
one party went and fOrcibty ejeeied man and his
family from house and premises, the possession
OF which was unjustly detained and refused upon
the ground that the remedy vas distant! This
gives rise to three or four suits. In adjoining
county the most violent outragcs have been com
mitted upon public officer for simply doing his
duty under the act. These offences are not isolated
cause for serious alarm to every good citizen. And
the fear is too well founded that this act gives SUCH
unrestrained license to offenders against criminal
and civil justice that in the end it will be extremely
difficult to restore order, harmony ana Que oD'
sHervance of the law. as -.rrss sra,z
All history demonstrates that any interference
with the obligation of contracts leads to injury,
immortality and injustice, without producing any
good results whatever We verify believe there
never was stayaw enacted in any country under
heaven which benefited an honest nan--which did
not rebound exclusively to the advantage OF The
dishonest, and which did not infiot great amount
of suffering upon innocent third parties, including
women and children, widows and orphans.
Thank GoD, we of Louisiana are not yet cursed
with stay-law, and we hope we never shall lie.
The appraisement law of the last Legislature, al
though it never should have passed, as it was
neither necessary nor called for by the people, is
not particularly obnoxious. 1t does not deprive
creditors Of their vested rights. 1t does not ena-
BILE dishonest debtors to rob their creditors, as
most bills of the kind do. The creditor can sue,
obtain the security of judgment lien, and then
proceed to sell under execution isst aS he p.caaes.
And, as property is bringing full prices, if sale
should be ordered, the chances are that the bids
would exceed the valuation fixed by sworn, disin-
terested appraisers. .g.-,

Bennett COMPLIMENTS Il. l.. D." RUssELL--A
Dangerous Man IN The Couutiy.-The recently
published leading articles Of the London Times on
American affairs clearly indicate that the informa.
ton it makes use ofwth such bitter maevolence
is furnished to bthrough another channel than the
published letters OF its correspondents or the New
York newspapers. 1t has an intormer in our midst
who consigns to the editor, marked "private, u
what he would not dare to include in his public
correspondence. IF the United States has one en-
emy greater than another at the present time it is
the spy in question. We have no doubt who the
dangerous man is; his name, we believe, is Rus.
sell. All that he may consider weak spots in our
Government and social and political system, are
carefully pointed out by him, with suggestions for
the manner of attacking them. All that he can
gather likely by publication in England to ag.
gravate the feelings of the English people and
incense the Government against us, he retails with
e4aggerations for the guidance of leading article
writer's. 1t is impossible to calculate the amount
of mischief which such a man may accomplish
when, in this case, the materials supplied are used
by able but malicious and unscrupulous writers
like himself. We attribute nearly all our recent
trouble with England to the London Times, acting
upon the private information supplied by its speca
correspondent, and who has proved himself mere
scandal-monger and traficer in dry platitudes anG
wilful Misrepresentation. As long as he remains
in this country he will do more to endanger oul
peace with Great Britain than any other man, anG
conspre by every possible means to injure us ir
the eyes of Europe, and cause permanent dis
ruption of the Union. A more dangerous spy
would be impossible.

A Heroine near Home.

Mr.. EDIToR.-The,e resides in our lit
lie Distric, poor widow lady with three
children-two sons and a noble doaghter.
When our enemies forced upon us this
unjust war, these two sons promptly Of.
fered their services TO our invaded coun
try. The grief stricken mother mourned
the loss OF her main support. "Cheer up
MOTHER" said the noble girl, "the country
needs the boys, and can ,cork for you
and mysey." The boys went off, and
their acounds and their trophies bear hon.
orab!e testimony TO the services rendered
And that excellent young lady has work
ed, and supported her mother; clothed
the brothers; attended the meetings, and
contributed TO the funds Of one of our
soldiers relief associations. And yet she
is SO modest, as TO think, she has done
nothing more than her duty. Such per-
sons are an ornament 10 their &nily and
an honor 10 their District. We'll may
Lancaster, like Cornelis, point to this no.
bic girl as one Of her brig igh,est Jewels
Can old Abe, in all LincoIndom, produce
an example Of such true courage and dis
interested patriotism. And how can he
expect to subdue people whose daugh
ters and sisters are composed of such ma
terial? SYLNANUS URBAN.

The Marriage Relation.

The great secret is TO learn TO bear
with each others falings not TO be blind
to them--that is either an impossbi'ity
or folly, we must see aud feel them ; if
we do neither, they are rot evils to US,
and there is obviously no need Of for.
bearance l.; but to throw the mantle Of
affection around them, concea!ing them
from each others eyes to determine not
to let chill. the affections TO resolve TO
cultivate good tempered forbearance, be
Cause it is the only way Of mitigating
the present evil, always with view TO
ultimate amendment. Surely it is not
the perfection, but the imperfec,ion, OF
human character that makes the strong
est claim in love. Al! the world must
approve, even enemies must admire, the
good and the estimable in human ma.
ture. II husband and wife estimate only
that in each which all must be con
strained TO value, what do thev more
than others 1t is inf,mi,ies of charac
ter, imperfecions Of nature, that call for
the plying sympathy, the tender com
passion that makes each the comforter,
the monitor Of the other. Forbearance
helps to attain command over themselves.
Few are the creatures so utterly evil as
TO abuse generous confidence, calm
furbearance. Married persons should be
pre- emnently friends, and fidelity is the
grea, privilege Of friendship. This for
bearance here contended for is not a
weak and wicked indulgence Of each oth
er's faults, bu, such a calm, tender oh
servance Of them AS excludes all harsh
ness and anger, and lakes the best and
g"ntlest methods Of pointing them out
in the full confidence Of atfec,ion.-

From Vicksburg-The shelling Again
Commenced.


The following items are from the Vicks.
burg Evening Citizen, of Friday.
Yesterday morning the Federal ram,
Monarch, and the gunboat kulher No. 3.
went up the fazoo river. AT 8 o'clock
in the evening one or two Others were
seen going up. Our preparations in that
quarter are ample to meet and repel the
enemy.
Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'c!ck,
the eremy's mortar boats below here
opened fire upon our batteries. They
were laying off near the Louisiana sho re,
and it is also supposed that they have a
land battery of two guns on shore near
Mr.. Burney's place. They kept up a
vigorous bombardment for three hours,
and averaged about one shell minute.
AT first their aim was directed at our bat.
tories. but afterwards they commenced
throwing their shells indiscrimina;ely in
every direction, nearly all falling short,
Some came within a short distance Of the
city; some fell in the river, and some were
seer to fall in DeSoto. Our batteries
escaped injury, and nobody was burt
Some old houses below the city were
struck, Tut no serious damage done. The
principal damage was the digging Up Of
patch OF potatoes by the shells.
A shell struck the residence OF Mr.. Vic
tor +. Wilson, entering the northwest
corner, and from thence to the cellar,
where it exploded, tearings to pieces gen.
orally, and coming out at the top Of The
builing.
We are informed that one Of ou. ci,i.
zens, non.combatant, was wounded
yesterday by the explosion Of shell.
The mortar fleet opened on our battle
ries this morning at G o'clock, and kept
up th cir fire at about the same rate AS
yesterday. Towards O o'clock the firing
clackened considerably, and longer inter
walls Of silence relieved the ince ssant cam
nonading Of the previous thee or four
hours.
Our batteries opened aboutll o'clock
upon squad Of gunboa,s that had taken
shelter behind the point Of timber below,
and sent the spIinters flying in all drec
tons. 1t is reported that some Of the
shot struck the masts and did good exc
cution on the decks.
One gunbost made narrow escape
from destruction. She ventured within
range Of our guns, wber few we'll drec
Ted shot made her get out Of the way quick.
AS we 60 to press they are evidently
trying their best to shell the Court. House,
but they are ali falling short.
We have no further news from the
fleet above to-day. Some oi them are
reported TO be iL the bend above here,
and some are reported TO be up the va
zoo. Persons who have been in elevated
places, where they could have good
view OF the steamer in the river above,
whose smoke is plainly visible here, in
forms that it is not n gunboat, but a reg
ular steamboat. We cannot tell whether
it is the Mesrs or one of the enemy's
transports.
