hoods about the insecurity at the South for
the lives and property of Northerners and
Union men (negroes.) This they call max
ing polite Il capital for the Rump faction
and its candidate Geary. Their lies are
made out of the whole cloth. The militia
ry commanders of every department report
most favorably of affairs in every State,
and declare that Northerners are as safe in
any part of the South as in the North; and
negroes everywhere, except when they get
up a negro suffiage riot, as at New Orleans.
and when they commit crimes. are as safe
and as well treated as it is possible. The
Southern people accept the situation and
are intent only on repairing the damages
of the war.

COnfiscated Stock.

The following action was taken at meet.
ing of the Stockholders of the Petersburg Rail-
road, held in the city of Petersburg on Wed.
nesday last: ~
Mr.. Joynes desired to call the attention OF
the meeting to the stock of non-residents
which had been con6scated during the war
and sold by order of the Confederate States
Said stock had been purchased and new GER
tifcates issued and it was matter Of interest
to know whether the old or the new scrip
should be recognized. 1t would also be inter-
esting to inquire whether the original stock
holders should be paid dividends during the
period of the war.
Mr.. A. G. McIlwaine thought il but right
that the Board Of Directors should know the
sense of the meeting on this matter. 1t was
his individual opinion that the new scrip was
worthless -3 '"fs .]lH-
Mr.. r. B. Boiling said the original stock
holders should be promptly placed in the
same relation to the company, as that they
bore to it before they were removed by an
authority that has been pronounced no au-
thority, without their consent, knowledge OIL
agency He offered the following resolution
which was adopted:
Resolued, That in the judgment of this
meeting, the scrip issued for stock of non-resi.
dent stockholders, colfscated and sold by au
thorty of the government of the Confederate
States, ought to be treated as now of no vail
dity, and that the President and Directors be,
and they are hereby instructed to treat the
same accordingly.

French Fowls.

/ The best breeds of French fowls, says the
Tendon Field, are being introduced into Eng
land These are the Crevecours. the La
Flitche, and the Houdans. The last named is
said to be pre-eminently the table fowl: -
| Large in size, with fully developed breasts.
short legs, and little offaI. The feet are Eve
toed. the crests large, and the combs very
strong and peculiarly developed. The plum
age is white, irregularly spanged with black,
giving them a very snowy appearance The
sickle feathers in the cocks are black, and the
saddle feathers black. tipped with white.--
Should these fowls become as great fayorites
in this country as their merits in economical
point of view, entitle them to be, doubtless
thoy will be bred to a standard as regards
plumage aud comb This bad already been
done with the Creveceurs in which breed
uniformity OF color and size of crest are,
along with great size, essential to success in
show pen. a-ig
The Houdan fowl has very bulky appear
auce, its plumage invariably black and white
spanged, a crest of the same color comb,
triple, the outside opening like two leaves Of a
book, and the centre having the appearance
of an ill-shaped, long strawberry. With the
cock the comb is very large, while with the
hen it ought to be scarcely perceptible. The
legs are strong and of pale lead color, with
Eve claws, and two hind ones, one above the
other. Strongly developed wbskers and
boards both in cocks and hens. This is one
Of the finest races of fowls, but its qualities
surpass even its beauty; besides. the small
ness of their bones, the fineness of their flesh,
they are of an extraordinary precocity and
fecundity; they lay large and white eggs, and
the chickens are tit for the table al four
months old. 1t is however, observed that
they are very indifferent for Matching. The
weight OF adults is from seven to eight pounds,
in which the bones figure one-eight. The
chickens, wnen four months old, weigh, with
out intestines, about four-apd-a-half pounds
each. r u4 e ,

A JAPANESE PRESENT TO NApoLEoN.---A
valuable present from the Tycoon of Japan to
the Emperor Napoleon has reached Marseilles
It consists of no less than $4,000 cases of silk
worms, the more priced inasmuch as it has
been clearly proved that japanese silkworms
produce superior quality of silk to those of
any other country, and are, moreover, less
liable to the disease which has of late years
caused SO much distress to the silk growers Of
the South of France. The Professor of Japan
csc of the Paris School of Oriental Languages,
N. Leon Rosny, has been sent to Marsei'les by
the Government. for the purpose of decipher-
ing the explanatory tickets which are affixed
on each case. NJ. Rosny is accompanied by a
young Japanese, by name Sagoura-Gi, and by
several of his pupils, who are to assist hica in
his work

wealthy gentleman, who owned large num-

of General Lees army, arrived h ere yesterday
evening, en- route to plantation he owns near
Port Gibson, Mississippi, having with him
about sixty of his former slaves, who, after one
years trial of freedom, haveconle to the cenclu-
sion that there is mo place like home" These
negroes, after the surrender, scattered in all
directions through the country, but soon be-
came dissatisfied with their free estate and
wrote to their former master to take them
back once more

A WHALE.-"Did you ever sec a whale?"
Whether you have or not, one was taken and
killed, near Smithville yesterday. At least
that's what they say" Gle, she, or it," is
said to be forty feet long. This may be a
'tish story" but the capture of the whale is
fact, as we are informed by some of the Smith
villains. So, notwithstanding the novelty of
discovery. "e has been struck" in the Cape
Fear river. 1t is surmised that the entire
river will be converted into sperm oil, and
that Pete Roleun, will make an assignment in
consequence. Wilmington Dispatch.

The QUAKER EMIGRANTs FROM NoRru
CARoLlNA.-We have heretofore mentioned
the passage through Richmond of number of
Quakers who were bound for Indiana. Tho
Raleigh Progress says that the attempt of the
Radical organs toimpress the public mind with
the idea that these Quakers left North Carroll
ma "because they were prosecuted for their po-
lltlca Or peace principles, is not only false, but
it is infamous. The Progress continues:
The Friends in some sections were suffering
from struggling cavalry, bummers and robbers.
Their brethren Of Indiana sympathise with
them and invite them to that State 1t is an
excellent custom among the Quakers never to
allow their people to suffer or to become pau
pers. Hence Mr.. Coffin has been sent out
from Indiana, as we understand it, to collect
up those who have been SO reduced as to be
unable to get along comfortably, and induce
them to 90 to that State. He has already con-
Quoted several companies of emigrants, ana
will continue to do so.

A MINISTER ON FIRE.-In one of our Pres
byterian churches the other Sunday morning,
minister was officiating with all due decorum
and soemnity Allat once he began to cut up
queer antics, and shortly disappeared from
public view, to the no small establishment of
his auditors. The pulpit being close one,
boxed up on all sides, and the door shut, the
people could not tell what was going on The
smoke arising from the pulpit gave assurance
that there was fire somewhere, and the stencil
filling the house, setting every one sneezing
and coughing, indicated that there was more
birthstone about the pulpit than was necessary
to conduct an ordinary service. The excited
congregation learned, after while, that the
minister was on fire. 1t seems that he carried
in his pocket lot Of loose matches, and they
ignted and set him on fire. Assistance came,
and the minister was put out. The whole thing
was ludcrous in the extreme, and though the
service was continued, the solemnity of the au-
dience was not Marked as on other occasions.

Thackeray says that it is better for you to
pass an evening once or twice 10 q lady's par
Tor, even though the copversat ion is slow, and
you know the girls song by heart, than in
club, tavern, or pit Of theatre. All amuse-
ments of youth, to which virtuous women are
not admitted, rely upon it, are deleterious in
their nature. All men who avoid female soc-
ETY. have dull perceptions and are stupid or
have gross tastes and revolt against what is
pure. Your club swaggerers, who are sucking
the butts of.blard cues all hight, call female
society inspid. Poetry is insipid to yoxel;
beauty as no charms for blind man; music
does not please the poor beast who does not
know one tune from another; and as true
epcure is hardly ever tired of water, sauce and
brown bread and butter, protest can sit for
whole night talking to we'll regulated kind
" woman, about her girl coming out or her
boy at Elton, and like the evenings entertain

derive from women's society is, that be is bound
to be respectful to them. The habit is of great
good to your moral men, depend upon it. Our
education makes us the most emiuenty selfish

yawn for ourselves and our case; and the great

society is, that he has to think of somebody to
