fE- The National Inteligencer seems
very hopeful that the Supreme Court of
the United States will decide the Presi-
dents Proclamation of Emancipation un.
constitutional, and that as a consequence
of such decision the surplus energy Of the
country will be devoted to the enforce
ment of the Fugitive Slave Law, and the
return toDixie and their old masters of the
thousands of colored men who have been
fighting the battles of the country, and
the more numerous thousands who have
turned out to make living for themselves.
Old Nick will most likely be toasting
several members of the Dred Scott Court
down in the lower regions before that
question comes up for decision, and it is
possible their places on the Bench may
be filed by honest men, to the great cha
grin of the Intelligencer, whose devotion
to slave oligarchy is even more intense
than that Of Taney himself

DIR. Jewet,,s Lecture.


Notwithstanding the inclemsut condi-
tion of the weather on Sunday evening, a
very respectable number Of citizens turn
ed out to hear the lecture of this eminent
man, who had had been announced by
hand-b bills and from the various pulpits Of
the city. The audience were we'll pleased
with the speaker, and although the sub
ject upon which he spoke is worn thread
bare by the many hundreds of local speak
ers of the day, yet he produced argu-
ments clear and conclusive against the
use of alcoholic liquors
On last evening he spoke again to a
large audience. and although, in justice
to the speaker, we ought to report some
points which he made during his remarks,
We will leave that to an abler pen than
ours. He produced conclusive arguments
to prove that alcohol only existed in de-
composing matter, and was nowhere else
to be found that alcohol could be traced
to the brain within fifteen minutes after
it had been drank. His arguments and
comparisons were well made, and even
though attended often with mirth, they
were none the less powerful in their effect
No report which we could give would be
as interesting or as clearly understood as
to hear the speaker tel. it in his own pleas
ing STYLE Therefore we advise all to at
tend his lecture this evening at the Uni
tartan church, at I o'clock, and not de-

AN DAGUERREAN EsTABLIsHMENT.-Mr.
J. F. Ryder, our weII-knoWn Photographic,
having finished putting novel aspect on his
rooms, invited his friends up last night for a
sort of professional house warming. We,
supposing ourselves to be of that multitude,
stepped in also. We found Mr.. Ryder play
ing the hOspitable host, and appearing there
in to as much advantage as do his patrons in
his pictures. We firmly resolved that Mr. R.
was one of the "jOlly good fellows" about
whom the song was written lang gne. The
reception ParlOr is a spaciOusSpartment and
and the'pictures on the wall reflect as great
lustre on the accomplishments of the artist
as they do on the good looks of our citizens.
We somehow or other fancy that Mr.. Ryder
doesn't take ugly people at he sends
them away to be satisfied with a commoner ef-
fort than ne is willing to make. Can you
take a d" Snowman " decently, friend R.. We
noticed particularly fine photograph of DR..
kirkland, which those interested in seeing
how true bona .fde scholar and professor
should look, can examine. The sky
light is the most extensive one we have
seen, the chemical department is, according
the report of an expert in such matters, per-
feet. We like Mr.. Ryder's pictures very
much, and we trust that his ambition in his
profession will be duly and generously re-
Warded.

FRANK WARRmGToN.-A new novel by
the autbor Of Rutledgs, Carleton, Publisher,
New York.
Like an electric spark the first word of
Frank Warrington thrills through those
whose careless eyes fall on its opening para
graph" EnlistedP From this happily
chosen word, the story progresses immedi-
ately with unstudied earnestness capital in
incident, most felicitOus in description, and
full of that rare giftOf expression for which
its young author is SO remarkable. We read
with delight story ardently and believing
ly told, full of living men and women.
Both the motive and the style rise to a high
er level than any of the authors previous
books, and through the rare exquisite dis
elimination by which her characters are so
subtly defined, there come to us also lessons
of honor and faith, truth to country, and
love to God and man, which cannot leave US
untouched. The success of Rutledge and
The sutherlands, which carried the cireula-
tiOn to nearly 10000 copies, will pave the
way to create thousands of readers for Frank
Warrington.

TIE REPORT OF THE GRAND jury ON THE
CoEDITIoE OF THE COUNTY JAIL.-To the Hon.
Judges Of the Court of Common Pleas:
The undersigned, the Grand Jurors in atten-
dance at the above term of said Court re-
spsctfuliy report that they have visited the
County Jail and have carefully examined,
and inquired into the condition and govern
msntO the same, and find the same to be in
a good state, and that SO far as they have
been able to ascertain the fact, they believe
the rules prescribed by the Court for the gov
ernment Of the jail to be faithfully adhered
to by the officers having it in charge.
But we recommend the following improve
ment; that there be q gutter made in the
floor next to the wall on the north, east, and
west sides Of the lower story for the purpose
of conveying the water used in cleaning
said prison floor and cells to a water pan,
which we also recommend to be constructed
through ths floor and wall on the north sidc
of said Jail to connect with the sewer, for the
purpose of conveying of the contents of the
night pals used by the persons in said Jail,
AMI also all other filth that may accumulate
in said prison all of which We recommend
as highly necessary for the future health and
sanitary condition of the prisoners confined
in said jail.

PHILADELPHIA, June 5.
A dispatch to the Bulletin, dated Gin
cinnai June 8th, says the Commercial
publishes a letter dated Memphis, June
Sd, which gives the following interesting
intelligence
General Osterhaus is on the west side
of the Black river bridge with his entire
division, watching General Joseph John
ston who appeared there on the 1st and
I'd inst.i Wit 1000 infantry and some ar
tillery. Shots were eXOka-gad and the
rebels retired.
General Johnston is said to have $4,000
men poorly armed and deficient in artil-
lery. There is no probability Of his be-
ing able to relieve Pemberton.
The gun boats run up to YazOo City
several days ago and destroyed much
property. Several rebel transports we're
seen further up, the SundoWer and Tale
hatchie, which temporarily escaped.
Communication with General Banks is
kept up on the Louisianana shore. Guer-
rillas infest the region between Provi-
dence and Grand Gulf with impunity.
The Government plantations are selected
for attack. 100 negroes have been driven
off or hung. Every negro with a Federal
uniform is mereilessly suspended to the
nearest tree.
The formidable batteries along the Mis-
sissippi on the first line above the water
batteries are all silenced save one at the
extreme upper part Of Vieksburg. L
mounts ? heavy guns and 2 2S-pounders
The rebel battery on Forest Hill, Of
guns Of very heavy calibre, is captured
The Federals have mounted heavy guns
in front of the battery diagonally at that
point.
The rebel rumor from Richmond tha
Kirby Smith had attacked General Banks
at Port Hudson is hardly credited, though
some uneasiness is felt.
A rumor from down the river say
Smith has arrived at Carthage, LOuisiana
which is very doubtful.
