Better Than Nothing.

We recall to mind the STORY Of n
good old Methodist lady, very par
ticular and very plous, who once kept
a boarding house IN Boston.
Staunch in her principles, she would
take no n to board who dli not
hold to the eternal punishment of n
largo portion Of the race. But the
people were moro intent on carnal com,
forts than spiritual faith, so in timo
her house became empty, much to her
sorrow. After sometime o bluff old
sea-captain knocked at the door, the
old lady prim as q Puritan, answered
tho call.
Servant, m4'am. Can you give me
board for two or three days2 Got my
ship here, and shall be off as soon as |

A nnost Rtr,,fcons Law.

The Legislature of OHIO has passed
q law compelling all ballots to be print.
ed or written on white paper. The
object is to make the ballots uniform
= in color, so that every man, rich and
poor, shall vote his sentiments without
fear or favor. Heretofore in Radical
districts, especially where large opera
tors live, employing many men, the rule
has been for tho operators to print
blue or yellow tickets. These were
given to their workmon just before
voting. They voted them and retain
cd their place; if against them they
wero Immediately thrown out Of en-
ployment. The Radicals have been
dong this for years. Hundreds Of
votes have been thus controlled, and
thus hundreds have been compelled
to vote against their honest sentiments,
and for those they detested and despis-
cd, or lose the only means they had of
maintenance for themselves and fami-
lies. Tho enactment of this law is
wise and jusi-justice to the poor man.
The Radicals are worry bitter in de-
ANNEXATION of the law, and in the Leg
islature voted, every man Of them,
against it becoming n law. Tho Radi-
cal press also denounce it, because
they know it takes from them hun
dreds of votes which they have been
controlling IN the manner indicated

Another Horrible Rebel Outrage.

Some of the outrsges daily coming uu-
der our notice are altogether too brutal
to be tolerated. Any one 80 atrociously
barbarous as the following, deserves to
receive the condemnation of all respect
able men, no matter where residing, OF
of what shade of political opinion. We
think Inspector Uhr richly deserves re-
moval from office, if not punishment
more severely marked. We quote our
exchange, This Week:
"The police. under Inspector Uhr,
went out and II am informedl succeeded
in shooting upwards Of thirty blacks.
Soon after this days shooting, it appears
that report came to the police that q
Mr.. Cannon had been killed by black
whereupon, we are informed, Mr.. Uhr
went of Immediately in that direction,
and his success, / hear, was complete.
One mob of fourteen he rounded up, an
other mob of nine, and last one of eight,
he succeeded with bis police in shooting.
Ia the latter lot there was one black who
would not die after receiving eighteen or
twenty bullets, but deputy speedily put
an end to his existence by smashisg his
skull"
We hope the Radical papers at the
North will not give this lamentable oc-
eurreuce too much prominence for two
good reasons. It's not only universally
deprecated throug ghout the South, but its
repetition can only serve to inhame Rad
ical passion still further against the So
called Southern rebels to useless extent,
the evil results accruing from which may
not be palliated by the fact that the incl
dent as related in This Week occurred
in Australia, aud was originally pub
lished in the Melbourne Argus, being an
actual account descriptive Of the policy
adopted by the people of that country to
rid themselves of the native colored race,
while we propose elevating it to power"

St. Bernard Troubles.

The New Orleans Crescent, Of Satur-
day, referring to these matters, says:
1t is now ascertained that Pablo Feliu
alone was killed. When the negroes,
numbering some four or FIVE Hundred,
surrounded the house, be ordered his wife
to load his guns, and young apprentice
to load those of his son, while they were
to shoot. He and his son shot some
twenty five or thirty rounds, killing and
weunding, it is presumed, several OF the
blood-thirsty besiegers. When he saw
that everything was lost, he told the ap-
prentice TO take his two children aud hide
them in the canes. This was doneshe-
roicalIy by the young man, whose name
is Raoul Jupas, scarcely fifteen years old.
After further defense, he ordered his
wife to escape with her babe. She, in
epdeavoring to do so. was pushed back
several times into the flames She enally
succeeded in making her escape. Owing
10 the cries of the babe, which could not
be suppressed in the canes, she was again
caught by the merciless negroes and
forced back to the burning house. She
said to them: "You have killed my hus-
band and children (she thinking that the
others had been massacred), you have
burned my house, then kill me now and
be done with it." The negroes replied :
"No. We will take you back to the house
and burn you in it with your huSband
and children. Give us the keys"
They took her back to the house, and
as it was by that time all in flames, and
as hey were intent on securing their
plunder and heard of the approach Of
the whites, she again escaped, and Is
now safe with her sister, who is severely
wounded in the head.
The charred bodies found next morn.
ing are supposed to be those of Pablo
Heliu and some negroes he killed before
succambing himself He was very
brave man, and is reported to have died
fighting heroically and grasping bis gun:
How many sins will the Radical party
have to account for? At present every
thing is quiet in st. Bernard, but the
houses of the whites are without women
or children, the white men, who are re-
ported to have acted very bravely, alone
remaining

october 2,, 1858.
Harrison Flood (colored), who was
convicted at the September term of the
Circuit Court of this county "a. Il. Mar
shall, judge of the murder of James
Sadsberry, about two years ago, was ex'
ecuted to-day in the presence of between
800 and 1000 spectators, the larger por-
ton Of whom were colored.
At % p. IN. the prisoner made his ap-
pearance at the Jail door with the halter
around his neck, in the charge of Sher-
iff Wright, and attended by his spiritual
adviser, Rev. Cesar Perkins (colored)
yery much agitated-so much so, that he
was scarcely able to stani alone. He
was Immediately placed in an open
wagoH, seated upon his coffin, and con-
veyed to the place of execution under
guard of detachment of the Twenty
first regiment United States infantry,
which had been sent over by Captain
Currier, commsndaut Of the post at
Farmville, to preserve order. Arriving
at the gallows, he was so completely un-
manned as not to be able to exercise
any control over his body, aud In a
trembling condition was placed upon the
platform of the scaffold. He then made
some remarks, seemingly addressed to
those Immediately around him, but grad
ualy his voice grew stronger, and he
continued to speak for half an hour,
rather in justification of the crime he
had com mitted, but his remarks were so
disconnected as hardly to be intelllglble.
A very touching prayer was then offered
by the attending minister; after which
the Sheriff proceeded to arrange the rope
and to FIX the cap. All things being In
readiness, at three o'clock the poor man
fell, breaking the rope and falling heav-
lily to the ground; but in few moments
more everything was again arranged and
the doomed man again placed under the
scaffold. he begged piteously for few
moments more, but his time was at hand,
the cap was again placed over his face,
the prop again knocked away, aud at
quarter to four o'clock Harrison Flood
was ushered into the presence of an
offended God.

Hunboldt's Experience of arthquakss.

Humboldt, who witnessed several earth
quakes, said that one never gets used to
tnem, but, on the contrary, his feelings
of dread are intensified at each success
sive one which be experiences. All
beasts and birds partake Of mans fear
and seem panic stricken. Humboldt
accounts for mans inability to become
accustomed to, and consequently not to
dread, earthquakes by saying that, what
ever we have at any time or under any
circumstances considered shaky, the
earth has always stood firm, and when
we find that tossing beneath our feet, it
seems as though the very bottom Ct
things had been knocked out. Every
time the shock is repeated lhe unrelis-
biity of our only support is forced upon
our attentions with augmented force.
Other dangers can be foreseen aud pro-
vided against, but this is inevitable aud
remorseless.

More Brigandags BY Negroes.

The outskirts Of the city are infested
by gangs of lawless and desperate me-
groes. who earn livelihood by preying
upon the inhabitants, and robberes OF all
kinds are Of daily occurrence. They
have become the terror OF the country,
not hesitating, when the occasion de-
mands, to commit murder. For some
time past there has been partial cessa :
ton of their lawlessness, but lately they
have broken out with renewed vigor, and
prosecuted their avocstien with great
boldness. This is no doubt due in some
measure to the supineness Of such proper
authorities-a.l Radicals and scallawags
who seem to manifest great inditcr-
ence, and caring little what deeds Of law
lessness are committed by their friends
and brothers on the whites.
Yesterday about eleven o'clock party
of three negroes assaulted Mr. Archie
Mclaughlin, young man eighteen years
of age, while he was crossing, in wagon,
Eslava Bridge, on his way home from
market The negroes commanded him
to halt. at tho same time presenting their
pistols. Before Mr.. Mclaughlin could
comply with the summons one Of them
fred upon him, the ball taxing effect in his
abdomen, and producing wound from
which be will probably die. After being
shot, Mr.. Mclaughlin fell back in his
wagon in an insensible condition.
The negroes then robbed the wagon of
it's contents, and even pulled the shoes
from Mr.. McLaughlin's feet, after which
they left The mule attached to the
wagon proceeded home, one and a half
miles distant, carrying Mr.. McLaughli,.
Prompt medical attention was rendered,
and everything done to relieve the young
man, but very little hopes are entertained
of his recovery. Mr.. Mclaughlin is a
quiet, well-behaved, inoffensive young
man, and is well known in the city.
Later. Since the above was in type
we learn that great excitement prevails
among the people living in the vicinity
of the locality of the above outrage and
the one of Wednesday, and that the
country is being secured in every direc-
ton. The headquarters of the negro ma
rauders is supposed to be in the vicinity
of Cottage Hill, and should any of them
be caught they will very probably be
lost 10 the woods Mobile Tribune.

Bad Manuscript.

to enable Us to decipher manuscript that
had been rubbed ard made almost i'm
pereep,ible, A friend told us to hold it
to our mouth and breathe on it a few
seconds We did so, and the result was
almost miraculous, as It brought out the
pencil marks aud made them easy to
read. The same friend tells Us that
holding such manuscript over kettle Of
water is still better, and that it will make
pencil marks indellible to hold manu-
