ketchum, The FOrger. at Sing
Sing,

The correspondent of the World,
who has been doing the Now York
State Prison, gives The following dc
scription of Edward b. Ketchum:
In regard TO Edward b. Kotchum,
it must be said that the keepers all
testify to the fact that he has acted
like perfect gentleman ever since his
arrival. He looks much better in
health than during his trial, a condi-
ton probably owing to the fact that
he is permitted to take exercise about
the yard whenever he has any leisure.
He is employed as clerk in the shoe
shop and makes most excellent
book keeper. At night he occupies
one of the common cells, but does not
mess with the vulgar many. Although
he is privileged to ramble about any
portion of the limits he has never
made his appearance beyond the War
den's Office, which fronts on the main
road leading to the village. Visitors
he does not delight in, and although
all of this qui7gir class of persons
invariably inquire Where's Ketch-
umY Which is he 2 Amt that him?'
it is but seldom. that the keepers will so
far CRAFTY their curiosity as to answer
their questions. Ketchum's knowl-
edge of bookkeeping and finance has
been of great service to the depart
ment in which he is engaged The
books have all been newly posted and
arranged on the simplest and yet most
correct plan, and are kept by the con
Wet clerk as faithfully and accurately
rs thorough knowledge of figures
will permit them to be.
There is one matter connected with
Ketchum so worthy of note that it de-
serves to be recorded here This mat
ter is matter of favor 1t may be
that Ketchum is entitled to more con-
sideration from his keepers than are
the other convicts That he deports
himself well is a point upon which all
the officers connected with the prison
agree "He behaves like a perfect
gentleman" they say; and perhaps
this is the reason why he is not
marched into the mess-room TO par
take of the common food of the in.
, stitution. His meals are served tc
him in the office in which his clerica
duties are performed. Nor does he
sit at table alone, inasmuch as he is
associated with number of tabl,
companions who arc men connected
with the prison in an official capacity
= There is no doubt that this privilege j.
+ very highly appreciated by Ketchum
whose appetite is said to have grow
very strong since his soiourn at thu
prison.

The Austrian and Italian SOldiery
Compared.

The Journal des Debats Institutes
the following comparisons between the
Italian and Austrian soldiery, Just now
ready to come in conflict
The basis of the education of the
Italian army is agility, that of the Aus
TRAN solidity. Nature forms the Ital-
ian army as she does almost all the
others in Europe, but it is man who
makes the Austrian. The Italian
army, i'll good or ill fortune, moves on
the suggestions of the mind; but the
Austrian by rule and word of com
mand Instinct, guided by order is
the chief propeller of the first; order.
amounting at last to sort of instinct.
that Of the second. The Austrian
army is therefore worth more than the
Italian in n methodical battle with sue
cessive evolutions; but the italian is
superior in an assault, where the first
dash breaks through and carries all
before it. That is why the Italian
Generals preferred meeting the Aus
trian army on the plains of Lombardy
to attacking it behind the ramparts
with which all Venetia is bristling.
The Italian soldier knows for what
he fights; the Austrian, for whom.
The former is a citizen, mingles with
the population, shares its passions, and
feels its impulses; the latter is a sol
der, and nothing else; lives isolated,
hears no voice but that of his corporal;
his country is the barrack; his nation
a province; his races the subjects of a
foreign ruler. The Austrian army has
one tradition; to fight, and always to
fight well; but in the end rarely to
conquer Austria has always lost ter
ritory from war. Diplomacy, and
above all marriage, have done more
/ for her than her armies. FeLr AuS-
b'ia nube. The Peidmontese army
now Italian, has also a traditions &c
fight now well, now i'll, but to gain
decisive victories. The Duchy of Sa-
voy has become Piedmont, and Peid.
mont has become Italy. The dynasty
Of Savoy has not gained single incl
of territory, whether from France
Germany, Spain or Austria, but 10y

sword, a sword not encountered Will

it.
The House of Austria has lost the
Empire of Germany, Lorraine, tn,

Sicilies, Emilia, &c, and she has los
them forever The dynasty of Savoy
either single-handed or in conjunction
with allies, has taken part of all that
while, perhaps, wishing for much les
than it has obtained. The Austrian
soldier is more enduring than the Ital
ian; the latter is more ardent, NOR,

Use of Liquors and Tobacco in
England and Scotland.

thus speaks of the prevalent use Of
stimulants among the religious classes

happy TO say that there are a consid-
cradle number of ministers in both
sections of the island, chiefly among
dissenters, who are active and earn
est in their advocacy and practice
Of the principles of total abstinence.
There are 500 such of the 800 Con
gregationalists But on the other
hand, all the rest, including the vast
majority of the ministers and laymen

scarcely ever preached where it was
not offered me in the vestry. Indeed,
the idea Of the importance and obliga-
ton of abstinence for personal safety,
and for the sake of example, does not
seem to have any hold upon the great
body of Christians In fact, public
sentiment and practice in Great Bri-
tain on this point is just about what
it was in America before DIR. Beecher
preached his six sermons on intern
perance, and before the Temperance
Reformation began.
In Scotland, nuff-taking is very
common. The snuff-box appears and
is passed round often in public and
private circles. | saw Moderators OF
meetings often resort to the use of the
'titillating powder, and have seen it
used at the table, though not often.
Chewing tobacco is not us common as
with us, and there is little of the dis
gushing habit of splitting that prevails
so much in America; but smoking is
almost universal with men, In fact,
it is one of the greatest of annoyances,
in public and in private. 1t is, if pos
sible, worse than with us; and though
forbidden by rules, is yet INDUCED in
the railway carriages almost always"

Mr.. BuRr1NGAME IN CALIFORNIA We
are pleased to announce that Hon.
Arson Burlingame, United States
Minister to China, has purchased Il
tract of land near SAM Mateo, on the
line of the San Jose Railway, embrace
ing about eleven hundred acres of the
finest grounds in that vicinity Mr..
Burlingame has for some time con-
templated removal to the Pacific
coast, and has now made his decision
to cast his LOT among us, whenever his
mission to China is ended. In view
of his connection with the develop
ment of trade with the Empire of
China, and the Advancement OF Ameri-
can interests in that SEXTON of the
world, the permanent residence OF this
gentleman in California will lie very
valuable to us. Fronting toward the
Asiatic coast, and with our Golden
Gate open as the entrance from the
Old World to the New, we are more
particularly interested than any other
part of our country in the relations
between America and China.
The recent treaties with China which
opened the empire to foreigners, and
extended commercial privileges never
before granted, are in great measure
due to the admirable diplomacy OF
Mr.. Burlngame, aud it is eminently
proper, both for himself and for Amer
lea, that he should fix his residence
where the fruit of his labors will be
most fully apparent. Massachusetts
and the whole Atlantic coast will re
greet his departure to the Pacific
shores, but will doubtless agree with
us that the interests OF America in hel
relations with China can be best adj
vanced by his residence at the West
ern gateway of the Continent Cali

The Productions of Mexico.

The attention which is now being
turned to Mexico by the recent action
of some of the members of Congress,
renders it a matter of interest to know
what its agricultural resources are. A
correspondent writing from Vera Cruz
gives the following account of the Tier
ia Caliente, which cover a great part
OF the country except in the vicinity OF
the seacoast:
"To afford some idea of The cane
fields, will state that I visited, two
weeks since, hacienda adjoining that
of Orizaba, and saw cane which was
planted five years since, which had
been cut every year, had never been
cultivated after the first few months,
and which now covers the ground so
thickly rs to be absolutely impenetra-
bic. The rolling season lasts all the
year, and the cane / saw at the mill
was about seven feet in hight and an
inch and half III diameter. 1t is diff
ficult to form any estimate of the pro-
duction, because they have no certain
measurement of land in this country
smaller than leagues, but | should
Judge 1T to be from six thousand to
eight thousand pounds to the acre.

same grade of Louisiana clarified, sells

ready sale at prices varying from sc

have heard so many opinions in regard
to it, that | am unable to reconcile
them. As to fruits and vegetables
there are none known to man which
will not grow in some parts of the
TERRA Caliente, although, of course
apples, and fruits of that class, do NOT
attain such perfection as elsewhere.
The Iierra Caliente extends alono the
southeastern and western slope Of the
mountains which enclose the great
table land of Mexico, embracing the
southern portion of the State of San
Luis Potosi, and strip through Tam
aulipas, Tlascala, Vera Cruz Oovoco
Guerrero and Michoacan. There are

which the underground is so thick. that

Mississippi are highways"

TAXING GOVERNMENT BONDS. Hon
Amasa Walker has recently published
an article in which he argues for the
conversion of the government bonds
into new issue not exempt from gen
eral taxation. Mr.. Walker thinks it
better to pay higher interest than to
adopt the policy Of exemption that
creates a class who will vote for ex-
penditure without having to bear the
burden; that it will create an inhu-
ence against the payment of the prin-
cipal of the debt; will cripple the in
dustry of the country by absorbing its
wealth into the government debt end
insuring the return of bonds from
abroad; and that it is altogether I'M
