enough in market there to appcase for

Every acre :lmoss is occupied and
cultivated. The very ayricultu1ssts
themselves crave investments for their
surplus capital. Nearly all Branches
of industrial pursuit-as commerce,
domestic trades, mining and lnanufac-
tures--:.re oppressed by q plethora Of
capital. The great leading business
of England is commerce, and it is to
the interest of English capitalists SO
to apply them capital as to extend the
area Of commercial enterprise, and
quicken and multiply production in
those countries with which their COM
merce is transacted The Southern
States afford an alluring field for the
employment of capital-not only Eng
lish capital, but French capital, Rus
sian capital, or the capital OF any
natio Il or individual that possesses il.
The two great wants of the South are.
capital and emigration. With capital
and the proper sort of emigration,
the South will soon be in a situation
to pour its vast treasures-agricultu-

capitalists, whether they be Northern
capitalists, English, French, Or any
other capitalists, will be recipients OF
the golden harvest now lying in abey-

"Who would seek to dull the sword of
;ustice in favor of him whose crime connects
with all that is most abhorred to humanity.
the violation of every obligation to the social
compact, the law. the Constitution, the re.
quirements of public virtue and personal
honor?"
When old John Brown was on trial for his
life, at Charleston, Virginia, for his half.
crazy raid upon Harper's Ferry, and the rope
was overhanging his head, Jefferson Davis,
then Senator from Mississippi. referred to
the matter on the floor of the United States
Senate. In urging the undeniable right of
John Brown to suffer death upon the gal
lows, the future overshadower of Brown s
crimes gave Inference to the above senti.
ment. Now John Brown was but a traitor
and was hung for such. jeff Davis is
greater one, and can be regarded only as One.
and if he had the nine lives that superstition
attributes to the feline race he should be SEN
fenced to end each and every oneof them by
the rope. John Brown was but a rioter by
the side of this great blood glutton, who,
not content with having brought upon the
land rebellion that cost the sacrifice OF half
a million of Americans ere its ravages could
be stayed, completed the measure of his in
fanny by the Libby prison, Belle Isle, and
Andersonville. Tamerlane. who cast the
widow's veil DER the head of half the women
of Asia Solyman, standing on his pyramid
of the bones of the followers of Peter the
Hermit; Alaric, vainly boosting over his
butcheries that he was but the scourge OF
God; all the cruel tvTants OF ancient and
modern times, must fade before this monster,
who, born and bred in an enlightened era,
caused thirty thousand Of his countrymen to
be starved to death.
Now, that the avenging hand Of justice
has caught the modern Sardanapalus, unsex
ed like his Roman protype, and clad IN the
garments OF defenseless woman, let the
treatment bestowed upon the Harper's Ferry
raider be meted out to the despoller of half
the continent and the darkener of million
of happy homes He has been guilty Of the
most damning treason that ever sullied the
pages Of history lie has boldly committed

He has - violated every obligation to the So

public were bound together, that compact be-

everything like . the requirements of public
virtue and personal honor" Now, that the
retributiye justice of Goo, and the ayenging
punishment Of man has brought him to meet
the unerring penalty for his heinous ofenses

ROMANCE OF THE DIVORCE CoURT.-The
particulars of an extraordinary case in con-
nection with the Divorce Court have reached
me, which although reading like a romance,
are nevertheless strictly true. For obvious
reasons | shall not mention names. The
facts are, however, as follows Not long
ago the Judge Ordinary, an officer of Her
Maiesty's service whom | shall describe as
Mr.. A. presented a petition for divorce
from his wife on the usual grounds. The
tdur pas of the lady ian Irishwoman, |
should mention, occasionsd much pain and
surprise to her friends as her conduct pre-
vious to the unfortunate denOuenent had
been unexceptionable as wife and mother.
The correspondent in the case, also an officer
in the army, whom l shall call Mr.. b., made
all the reparation in his power, and married
her. She was subsequently received IN In
dia, where her antecedents were not too
critically examined, but in three years after
ward Mr.. B., died and she was left widow.
Having no longer any tie IN India, she re-
turned TO England, whittier she had been
preceded by Mr.. A.. and his three little
children. Having taking up her residence
in a fashionable town in midland county,
celebrated for the curative property OF Its
waters Mrs. B. soon obtained admission
into good society as the widow of British
officer, and a very beautiful and attractive
woman to boot Here, after an interval of
two years, she again encountered Mr.. A.
and the result is, that they have again mar
ried The children of Mr.. A. have not recog-
nized their mother, and Jail they know is,
that ." Papa married widow" Beat this
in sensation novel if you can. The cir
cumstances of this extraordinary case are
related with critical accuracy and were l to
give the real initials of the parties, they
could be easily identified. They afford the
only illustration of the ruling passion strong

THAT'S For ME An amusing scene was
witnessed the other morning. A rough, un-
couth looking fellow entered the Post Office
and inquired if there was letter for him, he
received one. and, as he could not read, ask
ed the postmaster to read few lines, lust
to make sure it was for him." The post
master, with desire to accommodate, read
as follows:
''Dere sun: take mi pen in hand to in
form you that we ar awl vel and hope you ar
enioven the same blessin. | am sorry to
hear You have been on another spree"

VINO Can BEAT IT. The largest and most
thrifty grape vine we have ever seen in the
State is growing in the enclosure of r. Mar
chella. adjoining his saloon. 1t was planted
in March, 1859, and has grown straight and
almost of uniform size, measuring in circum
ference thirteen inches, for ten feet from the
ground to where it branches directly below
which the vine measures over fifteen inches.
An awning is erected upon the three sides of
the building, thirty by twenty-one feet,
which is completely covered and shaded by
the branches of the single vine, and large
clusters of grapes are equally distributed
over the entire awning. The punches of
grapes have been correctly counted and they
number 423, each of which, it has been
estimated. will average two pounds, making
IL yield of over 500 pounds from this one
single vine, this season. To those interested
in the cultivation of grapes, it would be a
pleasing sight Union Record.

Coon IDEA.-The Chicago Journal propo
ses that the authorities of the different States
shall at once declare that the Confederate
uniform be henceforth the garb of all con-
vcts sentenced to the State Penitentiaries
for ordinary crimes. and that the uniforms
worn by Confederate officers be that for
criminals of higher grade, according to de
gree. Thus--a cut-throat or Il murderer
should be a Lieutenant General in crime ;
arson, a Major Generals pickpockets, thieves
and confidence men, be Brigadiers, and SO on
down.

POLISHING PLows-Ifthose who wish to
snare themselves the trouble of polishing a
rusty mouldboard, Will have recourse to
muriatic acid. they will find that it will not
touch the iron. but will render the rust solu-
BILE and easily removed. 1t should not be
allowed to remain long on the surface. Mu-
riatic acid will do the work in five minutes,
and should be either washed off or cleansed
by running through the soil without delay.
The use of sulphuric acid for such purposes
is very Objectionable as it will eat into the
iron and destroy the surface. 1t will not on
ly dissolve the oxyds, but the metal, very
rapidly.

CAUTION
FROM
THE AMERICAN WATCH co.


1t having come to our knowledge that limitations
Of the American Watch have been put upon the
market in great numbers, calculated by their utter
worthlessness, to inure the reputation of our cen
uine products, to protect own interests and the
public from imposition, we again publish the trade
marks by which our Watches may invariably bs
known.
We manufacture four styles of Watches
The FIRST has the name
AMERICAN WATCH CO., Waltham. Mass
engraved the inside plate.
The SECOND has the name
"APPLEToN, TRACY CO., Waltbam
Mass engraved on the inside plate.
The THIRD has the name
''P. S. BARTLETT, Waltham, Mass epcrav-
ed on the inside plate.
All the above styles have the same American
Watch Co. painted on the dial, and are warranted
in every respect.
The FOURTH has the name
OWN. ELLERY, Boston, Mass" engraved on
the inside plate, and is not named on the dial.
All the above described Watches are made of
various sizes, and sold in gold or silver cases,
as may be required.
tits hardly possible for us to accurately de-
scribe the numerous limitations to which we have
alluded. They usually inscribed with names so
nearly approaching own. as to escape the OBJ
servation of the unaccustomed buyer. Some are
represented as made by the "Union Watch Co., of
Boston, Mass."-no such company existing Some
are named the - Soldiers Watch, " to be sold as our
Fourth or VIM. Ellery style, usually known as the
"Soldier's Watch;" Others are named the apple
ton Watch Co. = others the "P. S. Bartgey,7 in
stead of P. S. Bartlett, besides many varieties
named in such manner as to convey the idea that
they are the veritable productions of the American
Watch Company.
A little attention on the part of the buyers will
protect them from gross imposition.
For sale by the trade generally.
