THE WICKED FLEE WHEN no MAN
PuRsUETH On Saturday night one of
our citizens, who is something of a wag
while in conversation with a member of
the Legislature, remarked that he had
understood that there was plan on
foot TO "clean out" the members OF that
hodv. and that he would not be- surprised
to see a mob do it that evening. The
member of the Legislature went into
the MLure House, and there met u num-
bar of his brethren, TO whom he cOnmu-
nicated the startling intelligence that
the effects of the registration bill would
beperceptible IN less than an honr-
tbat n mob vas being raised to rua the
LEGISLATORS out of the city, etc The
story spread, and as it spread 1t was
greatly exaggerated. Several OF the
ioval gentlemen packed their trunks and
nrepared to leave at moments notice.
After waiting in dread agony for some
time. at a late hour they retired, and
were surprised to find all quiet wien
they awoke on Sunday morning.

nv had taken advantage of the panic on
Saturday night, he could have reaped

BUILDING PROSPECTS There is now
u reasonable prospect that the number
ofdwelling houses in this city will be
considerably increased during the pres
ntyear. The sales of vacant lots have,
We learn, been very large. Real estate
owners, particularly those who have
b0avy investments in this kind of prop
erty, seem to be extraordinarily anxious
to sell at the high prices that are now
current, and renters who have money
enough for the purpose, seem quite as
eager to secure lots, in order to provide
homes of their own and escape the enor-
nous rents demanded. The landlords
who have their funds invested in rental
property. are also buying lots extern
sively, with the design of erecting more
houses to let" At the prices that now
rule for rented dwelling houses there is
nomore profitable investment The az
sregate rents for four or five years would
be sufficient to duplicate house at
present figures, and it is this profitable
prospect that is inducing landlords to
build AS capital always flows into the
Channelthat offers the most inducements
10 it. it is now impelled strongly in the
direction OF rentable property, aud there
rs every indication that the effect will be
seen during the present summer in the
erection of large number of dwellings
To those who have not been able to make
provision for houses for the current year
it's Of some interest to know that there
is" better time coming

A MYSTERY We learn that the body
of a woman partially hurried was day
or two since discovered by the sexton,
in the Catholic cemetery, short dis
lance from the city. That portion OF
the body which was above ground bore
no marks OF violence, but il was never,
theless thought the deceased had come
to her death by foul play, and hurriedly
buried The grave had been dug but
foot deep in one end, and but few
inches in the other, so that the lower
portion OF the corpse was entirely GOV
cred, and the back, shoulders and head
but partially. From the fact that the
corpse had been inferred clandestinely
and in such brutal manner, it was
supposed the woman had been murdered
and partially buri ed BY hor murderers
The remains were but little decomposed
The mysterious affair will no doubt b,
investigated, and we may by tomorrow
be able TO give our readers the full par

THE EUROPEAN DIFFICULTIES.

BY the last advices from Europe it is as
serted that Austria categorically refuses all
propositions relative TO the cession Of Nene-
tia; that she calls for the convocation Of the
Estates Of the Duchies to settle the Schles-
wig Holstein question, and demands that
the Congress shall not be competent to dis
cuss any proposal for reform Of the Federal
Constitution.
Prussia is also said to demand that the
Conference shall not discuss questions rela-
ting exclusively TO the interests Of Germany,
and that its deliberations shall speedily
prove that a real prospect exists for the pre-
servation of peace.
The vote of the French Government in
viting the Federal Diet to send a represen-
tative to the Conference Is published at
Frankfort. 1t states the objects of the Con
ference to be a diplomatic settlement Of the
questions of SchleSwig- Holstein, and We
META, and also Of federal reform, so far as it
affects the European equilibrium. The note
concludes as follows: THE Government Of
the Emperor trusts that the powers who
have made preparations for war, will, if they
accept the proposed Conference, suspend
their ornaments, evenif they should scruple
TO restore their military establishment to a
peace footing"
There is no indication Of 4 relaxation in
warlike preparations,

NAroLEON's mFE OF CESAR.

That the Emperor Of one Of the principal
powers Of Europe should find time from the
daily cares Of State, TO write a labored and
important history, is one Of the strongest
evidences he has given of his genius and
true greatness. Speaking Of the second vol
ume Of this interesting work, which has re-
Gently made its appearance, and been gen.
orally commended by the ablest critics, the
London Telegraph says:
The present volume is the second Of the
work. and includes the "Wars in Gaul,'
coming down in Roman events TO the pas
sage Of the Rubicon. If this were the place
to quote AT length, the last of the published
pages would amply bear out what We have
advanced a. 10 the purpose Of the book.
Suffice il 90 extract a single sentence, which
at once shows what his Majesty thinks Of
CESAR, and whom else he thinks Of while
telling the tale Of JULIUs' life. when a
leader of genius" says his Majesty, " is
elected by the public voice, and appears in
the midst of the storm which endangers the
vessel ot State, then he alone can direct its
course, and bring it TO the harbor. CESAR
was not the instigator of this profound per-
turbation Of Roman society; he had become

personal eNertions 10 the list Of our daily

number Of new names is added to our pa
irons. At this time the Union AND AMER
ICAS il extensively circulated in Middle,
East and West Tennessee, and from all quar-
tiers Of the South the most lattering cviden-
ces Of public confidence and approval are
received. Nothing could be more gratifying
10 us than this evidence Of appreciation of
our earnest endeayors 20 subscrve the inter
ests Of the public, in these times Of State
and national trouble.
The enormous expense attending an enter
prise like ours renders it necessary that the
friends Of a restoration, oforder and Of consti-
mtionai liberty, everywhere, should aid,
in increasing the circulation and ex-
extending the influence Of journal devoted
10 their interests. Every one can do some
thing for the cause in which we are all con-
cerned. Very little labor onthe part Of each
would, in the aggregate, amount TO a great
deal, and assist materially in furtheTiaS the
interests Of the country, 50 important 10 rs

and thus increase the value and usefulness of
