Testimonial Cane 30 Mr.. Davis.
The Norfolk Journal thus describe

The Norfolk Journal thus describes
the cane which the ladies connected
with the Catholic Fair in that city have
had manufactured for Mr.. Davis:
The head is of Is karats gold, and
weighs one and a half ounces. 1t is
about two inches. in length, one in di-
ameter and sexagonal in form. The
several sides are inscribed and Orna-
mented alternately as follows:
First Side-"A relic of the renowned
Merrimac."
Second Side-Bay Leaf
Third Side-"From the Catholic Fair,
Norfolk, Va, 1866"
Fourth Side-Bay Leaf.
Fifth Side-"The offering of one and
the tribute of many"
Sixth Side-Bay Leaf.
On the head is the name of jefferson
Davis, inscribed in a circular form, and
in German text, surrounded by chased
work of flowers and leaves. At the
base of the ornamental chasing is cord
surmounted by beautiful frosted work,
and the hole for the tassel is mounted
with gold handsomely carved and orna-
mental. The ferule at the tip is of
heavy brass and steel. The wood is
hazel-hued, we'll vanished and polish
ed. 1t is of perfect oak, and just three
feet in length-which measure was OBJ
tained by one of Mr.. Davis's visitors,
without his knowledge, covertly meas
uring the old walking-stick he used in
the Fortress.

Fashion in Australia-A Novel Repre-
sentatien Of the Press.
The Melbourne papers publish elabo-
rate accounts of a fancy ball given by
the Mayor Of Melbourne to Sir H. Man
ners Sutton, the Governor of Victoria,
Lady Manners Sutton and about fifteen
hundred of the fashionable people Of
that city. Some idea of colonial wealth
and splendor may be formed from de-
scription of the dresses worn by some Of
the ladies. Mrs. Gurner, as Selika, wore
a petticOat of amber cashmere, enriched
with silver lace, a crimson velvet bodice
with a gold circle round the waist, from
which depended diamonds, emeralds
and topazes; over the bodice was q roy
al blue satin robe trimmed with deep
gold lace; the head dress was golden
diadem with q cluster of topaZes in the
centre, surmounted by bird of para
disc; q necklace of jewels was worn to
match the circlet.
Mrs. Buffers, as the Press, wore
white satin dress on which were print
ed the first pages of all the Melbourne
newspapers and periodicals, including
that of an illustrated journal with a
portrait of the governor. In her hand
She carried gold model of printing
press from which were struck Off in the
room some lines from Byrons Clara"
Miss Carter, as the Goddess of Music,
wore over q blue satin dress a tulle
skirt, circled at the waist by band of
amber satin, on which were printed
bars of music. The bodice was of fluted
black velvet, displaying mnsical char
acters. On her dress hung a golden
Tyre, and her head was adorned with q
gold coronet. A great number of ladies
wore golden and jewelled diadems. The
dresses of the gentlemen were equally
gorgeous and singular.

Alabama.

The Legislature adjourned on the 7th
to meet again on the 18th of January.
The Montgomery Mail says:
"The session just closed has been de-
voted mostly to local legislation, though
q large amount of business has been
transacted. The most important laws
are yet to be passed-two of which are
q relief law, and aid in some shape to
railroads and manufactures. We are
convinced that on the re-assembling of
the Legislature q wise and beneficial
system of internal improvements will
be adopted, which will add more to the
rapid prosperity of Alabama than all
other measures combined"
The same journal, in an article on
Railroads and Factories for Alabama" /"
says:
"The State is rapidly becoming de-
populated; long trains of wagons may
be seen daily moving our people to dis
tant fields for the expenditure of their
labor"
At the late session of the Legislature
six new counties were created, namely,
Baine, Bullock, Clay, Cleburne, Cren-
shaw and Lee.

Editors Of the Register:
Having noticed in the Intelligencer of
Saturday that Squire johnson fined
Levi Allsisser five dollars and costs for
peddling without State license, 1 will
give your readers an idea who this sharp
Hebrew, according to the Local of the
Iatelligencer, is. He came to this coun-
try about three months ago; his wife
died since of cholera; he came to this
city with six small children no money,
no friends. A few benevolent citizens
gave him few notions, and gave him .
city license for peddling in this city, so
he might be ENABLED to do something
towards supporting his motherless chill
dren. This is the gentleman that NOV
ed the Squire's heart, and the one whom
the thief-catching officer took up for
having him fined.

locked mp In foreign banks. 1t does not float
about, invigorating the State.
The Empire has obviously enough 10 do 10
take care of itself, without becoming u source
of danger TO the United States. The Mexican
people, for forty years, has shown itself inca
pable of maintaining popularity elected ad-
ministrators, or Of cfTecting reforms BY peace
full, ordinary means. Nothing lasting and Sc
cure can obtain there unless dealt out by n
superior will and n strong arm. In the pre-
sent condition of our politics and finances we
cannot annex and govern Mexico It's annex
alton is too inconvenient and costly thing 10
be thought OF. Ii is only upon the advantages
that may be withheld from us in most i'm
portant and vital region that an honest hesi-
tation in this particular can now exist
One of these advantages is suggested by the
anomalous condition of Arizona-one of the
wealthiest of our mineral repositories. Owing
10 the difficulty, and next TO impossibility,
of land transportation from above, most OF
the imports into Arizona from California
whence she procures her supply of mining
material, merchandise and other necessary
articles--have to pass through Sonora rio the
ture advantage. A railway from Guyamas

Sentor GwYyS once said, "Flank all the

road, not half rs long or costly as our pro-
jected Pacific railroad, would be easily built,
easily kept in repair, and never obstructed by
snow Its western terminus, Guyamas, is
alleged 10 be five days nearer by steam, and
ten days nearer by sail, 10 all the Asiatc ports,
and even 10 the Sandwich Islands, than is San
Francisco. The road, il is true, would not
pay al present, as il would be laid through n
comparatively unsettled country, and would
thus derive insufficient local revenue. But
there are attractions which may ultimately
cause Il settlement of the country, and render
such route not only profitable as a means of
foreign transit, but local necessity
If we can accomplish, by negotiation, the
acquisition of Sonora, and at least Il part of
Chihuahua, ii would be 4 very fair equivalent
for the recognition of MAxIMILIAS. Without
that recognition, the Empire must fail.
