We ought al rather to rejoice and take an
interest in everything tending to promote
the prosperity and welfare Of our coun-
trymen at the South. It should not be
forgotten that the States Of the South are
a fair portion Of our country, in whose
welfare as q whole, and in whose reputa-
ton and integrity we should feel COM
mon interest and pride. If the radical
papers and politicians will continue their
abuse, at least let all others forbear. The
radicals were never Unionists at heart,
and thsy will always rave and rant if not
permitted to prey at will upon the people
of section which they so foolishly and
fanatically hate.
1t would seem more dignifed, and GER
tainly much less like anxiety to accom-
plish bipartisan political end, if the radicals
would wait decent length of time, at
least Until something blameworthy has
been dine, before condemning race of
people. It is generally supposed that the
people pf the South are exhibiting very
commendable spirit, and behaving remark
ably we'll under all the circumstances.

which is now approaching its perihelion, will
soon be visible in the heavens, It has rather
long journey to perform, being about
lie, 100000 of miles distant at present.
On the first of November next it will be close
to7the bright Alpha Pegasi Markab, one Of
the four bright stars forming the well known
square of Pegasus. 1t then pursues south
erly course, crossing the celestial equator
about the middle Of December. 1t then
crosses it's old path in 1S47, near where it
separated into two comets. At the end of
February, its distance from the earth will be
less than twenty millions of miles. This
comets period is about six and three-quarter
years. The supertitious are apt to accept
these cratic bodies as omens Of coming evil.
The last time one Of them took peep over
the earth people began to prepare for the end
of the world. 1t is pity that we cannot
always have comet, if this would be the
effect. It is likely, however, that this one
will be considered as evidence of the approach

A Picture Of RAYal Life.

From late English paper, we gather the
annexed account Of the daily life Of Queen
Victoria and the manner in which she dis
poses Of her time
Queen Victoria rises at half-past six o'clock
in the summer, and half-past seven in the
winter After the toilet and morning SER
vice in the chapel Of the palace, she break
fasts. Coffee, bread, butter, eggs and cold
meat constitute her usual repast. One or
two ladies in waiting, and an equery have
the privilege Of partaking the morning meal
with the royal family. Breakfast over, the
Queen sallies forth to walk on the slopes at
Windsor, or in the garden Of the palace, and
generally visits, when at Windsor, the farm
or aviary, looking at her horses and exam
ming her aquarium. a3
Re-entering her dwelling, she goes into
the nursery, or the rooms in which the princes
OR princesses are going through their studies;
then glancing at the Times and the Morning
Post, she enters the library and receives the
Master Of the Household, and transacts the
business of the Kingdom.
The public affairs of the nation at an end,
the Queen receives visitors, who have been
honored with her commands to attend at
the palace. Among the latter are the artists
and publishers, who have rare and novel
works to show to Her Majesty, Or her like
ness to take; persons intrusted with presents
for her aviary, foreigners with special intro
auctions from their own soyeroigns, trades
men with articles which the Queen is desi-
rous Of purchasing, and SO forth. After
these folks have been dismissed, the royal
family take their lunch, at which the Queen
eats and drinks heartily. The horses and
carriage are then brought to the door, and
Her Majesty either rides Or drives out for
three. or four hours, frequently taking the
opportunity Of visiting some Of the nobility,
the Duchess Of Inverness, or even-in the
country-poor but worthy people who are
confined by sickness. Her Majestys kind
ness to the sufferings Of her own sex is pro-
verbal. 1t is on record that when Mrs
| Warner, tragic actress of excellent charac-
ter, was i'll Of disease which ultimately car
ried her to the grave, the Queen sent car
riage every day that she might have the ad-
vantage of pure air. On her return home
the Queen spends an hour in her private
boudoir or library, and then dresses for din
ner
| A profound silence reigns throughout the
meal, only broken by the voice Of the Queen
addressing herself to some one or other Of
her guests, who are expected to limit them
selves to a direct reply General converse
ton is carried on in whispers only. A great
variety of wines are drank at the royal table,
the Queen confirming herself to German
4 Rhine) wines.
! After dinner, the party adjourns to the
drawing rooms, and there the Queen casts
aside all ceremony, and gives herself up to
innocent pleasures and the promotion Of the
enjoyment Of her guests and family.

RETURN OF Rev. DR.. PALMER TO NEW

Presbyterian minister Of New Orleans, who
has been absent from that city since its. cap
trlre, preached there q few Sabbaths since
The Times says:
He feelingly alluded to the long years of
suffering, now SO happily closed, and express
ed hope that his own trials and sad expert
ences wonld be so far sanctiied as to fit him
better than ever before for the responsible
duties of gospel minister. He then told
how, in the general affection, the angel of
death had visited his household, and when
he alluded to the sad theme all hearts were
melted and the waters gushed forth as from
the smitten rock AS for the dread past,
he. for one, was anxious to hide it away in
the solemn tomb, Henceforth no word should
escape his lips but such as was meet for an
humble servant in the temple Of his God
King. Wherever called to minister in the
land of his birth and of his love he would
emulate the example of Paul the Apostle by
preaching Christ and him erucifed, and his
song should be the song of the angels.

A Remarkable ELIMINATION.

DISCOVERY OF THE BODY OF CANUTE'S DAUGHTER.
The following bit Of antiquarian news is
from the West Sussex (England) Gazette Of
a recent date:
"The most interesting archaeological dis
covery which has ever been made in this
neighborhood took place in the Church of
Bosnian a few days since. In continuing
the restoration of this beautiful specimen of
Saxon architecture some excavations were
made in order to lay bare the bases of the
columns supporting the chancel arch, which
are on a much lower level than those of the
arcade separating the nave from the ailses.
In laying bare these bases it was thought ad-
visable to extend the excavations a little, for
it was just in front of this arch that tradition
has uniformly stated that the youthful daugh-
ter Of the Danish King Canute was buried.
inst below the level Of the old floor slab of
stone was discovered. Carefully the excava-
ton was carried on, and soon it was found,
as has been already conjectured, that this
stone covered a small stone coffin. Every
care was taken, and the coffin was opened in
presence of the Rev. Henry Mitchell, f. S.
A., (the vicar Of Bosnian, his son Henry,
Mr.. G. Sturges Jones, Surgeon Of Chiches-
ter and Mr.. Edgar j. Marley, an artist of
some note. AS soon as the lid, which was
seven inches thick, was raised, the form of
the child could be distinctly seen. The fig
ure was three feet nine inches in height, so
that probably the child was not more than
five years old. The hand had been placed
by the side Of the body the bones, although
reduced to a white dust, could be very clear
ly traced The inside measurement of the
coffin was four feet three inches by fourteen
and one-half inches in width at the breast,
thirteen inches at the head, and ten inches at
the foot. No jewelry or anything of the sort
was found-p probably the child was too young
to be buried with any personal ornaments
about her. This extraordinary discovery
fully confirms the tradition that this was the
daughter of Canute- the form and plainness
Of the coffin furnishing additional proof

THE RICHES OF NEyADA.-Mr. Richard

THE RICHES OF NEvADA-Mr. Richard
son concludes his last letter to the Tribune
from the silver region Of Nevada as follows
Nevada has turned out about sixty mil
lions Of dollars in bullion, and is now pro-
ducing nearly twenty millions annually
Bishop Simpson is convinced that our silver
resources are sufficient to pay off a national
debt Of twenty billions, present each returned
soldier Of the Union with a silver musket,
and then plate all our war vessels with silver
thicker than they are now sheathed with iron.
1t is certain that our ores are practically in
exhaustible, and that the silver mining Of the
United States is IN it's infancy

Swedish Immlgrants-StiIl they Come.

| Swedish Immigrants-Sti they Come
We mentioned some time since the fact
that number of Swedes, fresh from their
native land, had found homes as field labor
els on plantations in the county of Gooch-
land, on the upper James. Other bands OF
emigrants from the same country have fol-
lowed these, and settled in the same county,
where they were Immediately employed on
lneighboring plantations. DR.. w. L. Walk
er, Randolph Harrison, Plummer Hobsor5
and other Goochland planters, are employ
ing them, and SO much satisfaction have the
Sweedes given by their skill and industry,
and so well satisfied are they on their part,
that quite Juror has been created all along
the upper James in their favor, and there is
an universal demand for this kind of labor
Under these circumstances, we arc glad to
be able to state-as indeed may be seen by
advertisements Messrs. Harrison, God
din & Apperson have made arrangements to
furnish, to allth at want them, any number OF
laborers of this nationality. 1t is desired
that planters wanting them should send in,
as soon as possible, their orders, stating the
number they will take, as it is the object,
with view to the greater comfort and con-
tentment Of the emigrants, to locate them
with regard to the neighborhoods from which
they come. Interpreters will attend each
band of emigrants, to the farms or planta-
tons, to see that proper accommodations and
food are furnished them. So soon as the
number of the emigrants in any one neigh
borhood shall justify it, it is proposed to Sc
cure the services Of ministers af the Gospel
of the Lutheran faith, which is that of most
of the Swedes, to perform religious services
for them and educate the children. We
should add that the Swedes and freedmen,
working on the same farms get along adng
rably together. -Repubzic.

The Jackson Statue.

The bronze statue of e Stonewall" jack
son, which was subscribed for several months
ago by number Of Liverpool merchants, to
Virginia, is, as we learn from Europe, about
completed. It is in the hands of Volk, the
sculptor, and is described as fitting work Of
art to commemorate the civil virtues and mil
itary genius Of the illustrious soldier of whom
it is intended to perpetuate the hneaments.
Naturally enough the question recurs: Will
the authorities object to its presentation to
the State, and to its installation upon the soil
Of Virginia Possibly a prejudice may exist
in their minds against General Jackson
prejudice growing out of the fact that he drew
the sword in the late war against the United
States. And yet this mans virtues were so
many-his simplicity and Christian forbear-
ance SO great-his honesty Of purpose so pat
ent-his unselish patriotism so apparent
lis larga charity so universal snd tonpreheu-
siye-in his every impulse so becoming the
character of Gods noblest handiwork, an
honest man-that we venture to say that not
one of those whom he was called upon to
meet in hostile array in his luminous career
as soldier, feels otherwise than proud that
the celebrity that attaches to this great SOL
der and Christian gentleman is part and
parcel of an Americans history.
The changed circumstances -the altered
phases of the times-may operate against the
erection of this statue to Virginia's greatest
soldier upon ground devoted to the assem-
blies Of the people. Time was when the Vir-
ginians Of to-day contemplated in mental
vision the spectacle of the bronze lineaments
Of this son Of Virginia installed upon its pc
destal, in the Capitol Square, under the shad-
ow Of the immortal Washington; but the
days change and we change with them. The
decision as to the future Of this work Of art
has passed from the hands of our people into
those Of others, and we must abide by the con-
clusion Of those in authority
