The Famine in India.

An appalling calamity has lately befallen a
portion of British India Famine has been
making fearful ravsges in the Bengal Presl-
dency, and in the Madras Presidency the
distress from the same cause is described as
only less terrible than that in Bengal. Resi-
dents on the spot-trustworthy witnesses
IN endeavoring to give some idea OF the ex-
tent of the calamity, depict scenes OF the
most narrowing character. When the FAM
inc was at its hight. the starving poor,
W. are told, crowded into the streets of Cal
cutta, ard it was estimated that no fewer
than 20, 900 to %, 900 starving people were

A West VIRGINIA Elopement,

The Parkersburg Gazette, of Nov. 9Th,
says: On Monday, man who was Cap
tain in the Federal army, by the name Of
Hare, and who has wife and family living
in Cincinnati, arrived in this city and put
up at one of our hotels, with a woman,
whom he represented as his wife. 1t seems
that during the war, the gallant captain was
stationed at uckhannon, in this State, and
while there succeeded in ensnaring the hith-
erto seemingly virtuous wife of Mr. William
Martin, who is a hotel keeper in that place.
After time the Captain was ordered to
other quarters, and was gone until after the
close of the war, when he returned to b.
and took up his abode with Mr.. Martin. He
was there some weeks, and then returned to
Cincinnati During his absence a cores
pondence was carried on between himself
and Mrs. Martin, under the cover of SIS
ter of hers. The matter went on slowly,
until Mr.. Martin missed $500 in money
from his pocket book. At that time no one
suspected his wife of having stolen the mon
ey, and several other sums of smaller amount
were missed at different times. The affair
had been carried on to such an extent, that
danger of discovery becoming imminent, the
fair but trail and misguided woman, left her
home on last Thursday on pretence Of visit
ing some of her friends, living near Clarks
burg. On arriving at that place she found
the ''gay Lothario waiting for her, and to-
gether they entered the cars and arrived here
on Friday morning. On Saturday night, a
brother of Mr.. Martin, accompanied by Mr..
Rohrbrough, arrived here and arrested both
the parties Last night they were confined
and on Sunday morning left this city under
charge of special officer. for Buckhannon,
to answer the charge of stealing. The
amount of money lost was very considerable
amounting to near 50, coo. Mr. Martin and
his wife have been married some eight or
nine years, aud to all appearances, have liv-
ed happily, and'this sad and disgraceful oc-
currenee win be sad blow TO the erring
woman many relatives

Miserable End of Miserly Baroness.

The Paris papers report that the commis-
sary of police of the quarter of the Place
Vendonc accompanied by a doctor, recent
order to certify, at the request of the IN
mates cf the house, the death of the lady,
who was seventy-fve years of age. The ap-
pearance of the apartment indicated extra
ordinary neglect There was scarcely any
furniture, the dust Of years obscured the
window panes, and the paper on the wall
was spotted and rotten. The place appear
ed 10 be uninhabited from time immemor-
AL and yet the baroness had lived there for
twenty FIVE years, paying an annual rent OF
l,500t In the bedroom, stretchet upon a
truckle- bed, and partly covered with filthy
rags, lay the body OF the baroness. Anex-
animation showed that death arose from
weakness caused by want of food 1t fur
ther appeared that she had starved herself
wilfully, and, indeed, in point OF avarlce
the baroness would have borne away the
palm from Harpagon or Gosbeck. Not
withstanding her considerable fortune, esti-
mated at ESQ, 900 year, she always went
clothed like beggar, and often solicited
charity in the street. She lived on cruSts
of bread the refuse of cabbage and other
vegetables and such like garbage, that she
picked up from the dirt heaps. A few da;
before her death she fell down from weak
ness, while passing the door of cottage,
from want of food but she refused to take
some refreshment offered to her, no doubt
fearing that she would have to pay for 1t.
She succeeded in gaining her apartment, and
was not afterwards seen alive.

The University Of the south.

Our readers will recOllect the meas
ures taken by the late Bishop Polk,
and the other Southern Bishops, at his
instance, to establish on Sewanee
Mountain, in Tennessee, a great uni
versity, which should be to Us what
Oxford is to England. The present
Bishop of Tennessee, DR.. Quintard,
thus describes in the journal which ac-
companies his address to the Diocesan
Convention, held last week at Bolivar,
its present condition, after stating the
arrival Of Rev j. Austin Merrick, d. d :,
chosen rector of the Diocesan Training
School, Of which he subsequently,
makes mention. Under date Of % ID Of
March, he says:

rick, Rev Thos. A. Norris and George
r Fairbanks, Esq, one of the trustees
of the University Of the South, l visited

with the exception of an old log cabin,
were burned by the Federal army
while eneamped on the ground The
cornerstone Of the University. a block
Of marble weighing six tons, was
broken up and entirely removed. The
valuable album, containing landscape
sketches by the venerable Bishop of
Vermont; al the typographical maps
and reports of the engineer corps,
showing the peculiarities Of local posi-
ton, the elevation above the sea level,
as well as the level of the surrounding
country, were removed from the iron
safe in which they we're kept and car
ried off
selected locations for the buildings
Of our Diocesan Training School. In
the evening We erected q cross on the
site selected for the chapel; gathered
the workmen about Il, and asked the
blessing Of the Great Head of the
Church on our undertaking. We re-
cited the Apostles Greed, and made
the grand old woods ring with the Clio
ria in Excelsis.

Italy.


Were it possible to obtain birds
eye view of Italy at the present
moment, we should see ali the
principal roads swarming with
troops moving north and east Austria
was beforehand with us in preparation,
and great diligence is necessary to OBJ
viate the risk of surprise Although
all these matters are enveloped in the
profoundest mystery here, l have
reason to believe it is only just now
the military chiefs begin to feel conf
dent in their power to resist q sudden
attack. The railways have been and
continue hard at work, and, on the
line DOrthward, only one train in
twenty-four hours now runs for the use
Of the public.
All the necessary preparations for a
great war are proceeding with the ut
most activity Things have got TO that
point that it is quite impossible for
Italy to recede. Whatever is to be the
result of the conflict at hand, she would
most certainly be ruined if she did not
fiaht The Government says it will
not attack-by which it probably means
that it will not do so until war has be-
gun between Austria and Prussia-but
It has placed itself in q position
which It cannot afford long to maintain.
1t is as good as bankrupt; il has made
enormous contracts for the supply Of
the the army it must have, at the very
least $4,000 men under arms-per-
hsps more, if we include the con-
scription for the present year, which, il
is true, is only just called out and be-
ginning to learn its goose step. Enroll

The radicals recently killed off Sena-
ator Wright, of New Jersey, and pro
oeeded to select successor for him
But he would not stay killed. A dis
patch from Newark says:
We are gratided, not only at being able to
contradict the report of Senator Wrights
decease, but 70 state that we are advised BY
Mr. Wrighrs physician that, although he is
quite feeble, his health is much better to-
day than it has been for a long time. He
sat up most of the morning, and was able q
walk about the room without distress. We
feel il our duty to say this much, to alley
the anxiety Of Mr.. Wrighi's friends, and
also TO stop the disgraceful excitement
among his political opponents relative TO
The appointment Of his successor in the
United States senate. lis true, his great
aye and the peculiar nature Of his disease,
render his condition precarious-but, with
a naturally vigorous constitution, unim-
paired bv excesses, and the most unremit-
ting 6lial nursing and skillful medical at
tendance, we trust he mey live long time,
II he does not fully regain his health.

Senatorial Caucus.

Speca Dispatch to the ncinnsti Enquirer.
WASHINGTON, May 28.-The Republic
can Senators were in caucus again to-
day. The reconstruction plan was I'M
der consideration; the object being to
harmonic, if possible, upon a substi>
tute for the third or DISTINGUISHING Sec
ton.
Senator Sherman's proposed amend
ment, intended as a substitute for the
second and third sections, and provi-
ding that Representatives shall be APP
portioned according TO the number of
qualified voters, and including citizens
disqualified for participating in the re-
bellion, and also that direct taxes be
apportioned according to the value of
taxable property, was argued with per-
tinacity.
Several other propositions were also
discussed, intended to take the place
of the DISTINGUISHING section, but, with
out agreeing upon substitute, the
caucus adjourned to meet tomorrow.
1t is understood that when the matter
is again brought before the Senate the
Republicans will not discuss the meas
ure, but put it to vote at once, unless
Senators who have not participated in
the caucus desire to be heard. Among
the Union Senators who did not attend
the caucus, are Messrs. Doolittle, CoHRn,
Dixon and Nesmith.
