A TRAITOR TO BE HUNG.-Wm, II,
Carter, a rebel citizen Of Maryland, who
was tued and convicted before Gen.
DOubleday's Commission, on the charge
of violating the laws of war, in contract
ing to furnish the rebel Government at
Richmond with provisions, drugs, etc,
has been sentenced to be hung. The
President has approved the sentence,
and the culprit will be executed at such
time and place as the commanding Cen
eral of this Department shall designate.
Carter had executed contracts with the
rebels and had furnished them supplies,
among which were millions of gun-caps
sent by him at time. They were much
needed by the rebels at the time Of his
capture. A large rebel mail was also
found upon him, and among the letters
was one to the authorities of Richmond,
pointing out a certain person in the
South as a Yankee spy, and advising
that he be hung. .....,
IMPORTANT TO KNOw.-It is a fact
not generally known, that under the act
of June 80, 1854, which went into Oper-
alton last Monday, 2 stamp Of two Gents
is required on every receipt for the pay=
in amount over $50 AS also on receipts
for the delivery of property; and by the
same law every bank check, draft or
order drawn upon any bank, banker, or
trust company or for any sum exceeding
$40 drawn upon any other person or
persons, companies or corporations, at
sight or demand, is also made liable to a
stamp tax of two cents. The provision
taxing receipts is new in this country,
though long in use in England. The
tax on bank checks, drafts, &C., is ex-
tended to all checks, as we'll as those
under, as those above, 500,

The quantity and color of the hair
was subject of speculative theory for
ancients. Lank hair was considered
indicative of pusillanimity and coward
ice, yet the head of Napoleon was guilt
less of curl. Frizzly hair was thought
an indication of coarseness and clumsi-
ness. The hair most in esteem was that
terminating in ringlets. Dares, the his
torian, states that Achilles and Ajax
and Telemon had curling locks; such
also was the hair of Timon, the Athe-
MAN. AS to the Emperor Augustus,
nature had favored him with such re-
dundant locks, that no hair-dresser in
Rome could produce the like. Auburn,
or light brown hair, was thought the
most distinguished, as portending intel
ligence, industry, peaceful disposition,
as well as great susceptibility to the
tender passion. Castor and Pollux had
brown hair, so also had Menelaus.-
Black hair does not appear to have been
esteemed by the Romans; but red was
an object of aversion. Ages before the
time of Judas, red hair was thought
mark of reprobation, both in the case of
Typhon, who deprived his brother of
the scepter of Egypt, and Nebuchad-
nezzar, who acquired it in expiration of
his atrocitiest Even the donkey tribe
suffered from this ill-omened visitation,
according to the proverb of wicked as
a red ass" Asses of that color were
held in such detestatiOn among the
Copts, that every year they were in the
habit of sacrificing one by hurting it
from a high wall.

INFLUENCE.-It is not position that
gives influence, it is character. What
men are, determines their power over
others, not where they are; themselves,
not the places they stand in. When Di-
ogenes had been captured by pirates,
and was about to be sold as a slave in
Crete, he pointed to Corinthian, very
carefully dressed, saying, "Sell me to
that man, he wants a master" His
wish was granted and the event
his sagacity. Character
overcame position; that man bought q
master in buying Diogenes! a
