man was riding quite fast on one of

serious injury to some one.

BsF Some time since a young girl,
not more than thirteen years old, was
seduced by a brute of man, who for
merly resided in this city, but has left
for parts unknown. Such scoundrels
ought to be hunted up, and the COM

by assignment to duty in the State

hanging, administered in doses to suit
the aggravation of the case, would
have a good effect. 3 peg

THE SITUATION

In answer to inquiries on the subject OF the
state of things here, we have to say that there
is nothing at present alarming in the s'situ-
alton. The President constructed q safe and
constitutional bridge policy by which to lead
the people OF the States lately in rebellion back
into the fold OF the Union, thoroughly cured OF
all their rebel tendencies. The radicals, not
satisfied with that method Of restoring the
Union, seek TO cut that bridge down, and
have, we must confess, so far badly damaged
it, without dong aught whatever towards con-
structing another feasible one in its stead Ii
they succeed IN completely demolishing the
Presidents bridge, (Which we do not believe
possible they will simply leave it for the
Copperheads to lead the late rebel States back
into the Union with their people confirmed in
the secession and other rebel sentiments for
which they fought so long and gallantly; leav-
ing the Union party OF the country to grieye
over the folly of its Congressional leaders
who, rejecting the sound bridge (or policy) of
the President, labor to put off the work of con-
sructlng practicable one until after the next
Presidential election. when the people, tired
OF waiting, will be apt to trust the work TO
Copperhead hands, sooner than have its ex
ecution longer postponed.

CITY ADvERTIsING

The Chronicle, in its assault on S.eratarx
Seward, takes occasion TO publish the aid YER.
Using returns Of the different Washington
journals for the quarter ending December
81, 1855, showing larger receipts from that
source by that paper than by any other city
paper. In this connection we have only TO
thank the Chronicle for this publication, mas
much as il simply serves TO show the pub
lie that though the Star invariably prints
perhaps two advertisements to one printed by
the Chronicle, yet its receipts from that source
are considerably less than the receipts from
advertisements printed in the daily and Sun
day ChTontcie, which latter paper prints i'll its
each issue perhaps double as many new az
veruseinents as appear each day in the daily
Chronicle. The lesson Of interest TO the public
decucible from this publication OF the ChroHi-
Gle, IL, simply, the fact that the advertising
charges of the Star are far more reasonable
ihan those of that journal.
