A STRANGE SIAMEsE RoMANcE.-Th
priests BONES of Siam, are vowed to
celibacy and monastic life. Death is the
certain consequence of any known departure
from the vow of celibacy priest must not
even be supposed to be conscious of the
presence or existence of such temptation as
women, to the interruption of that abstract
contemplation which is the aim and end of
the Buddhist votary One among the priests,
who swarmed in one of the large monastaries
attached to the temples, had been remarkable
for his uhfinching zeal in the practice of
every art of self sacrifice eDjoincd by his
religion, observing the most rigid abstinence,
and also silence which gave external evi
dence Of the abstraction Of his mind from all
the cares and concerns of this mundane exis-
tence. He had taken his turn with his
brethren to issue forth upon the river at early
dawn, to receive the daily contributions of
provisions so willingly set aside by the peo
pie for the sustenance of the BONES. Some
times he went alone; latterly on the occa
sion of his fulfilling this mission alone, he
had not returned without some unusual
delay. There is certain body among the
priesthood, whose especial duty it is to watch
over the private and public conduct of the
other members of their fraternity and to
bring them to trial for neglect of duty or on
conviction of any crime, religious or moral.
These officials being apprised that grave
suspicion attached to one of their order,
placed a spy over his conduct. Having
selected for this purpose one Of the most tried
and sagacious among themselves, he began
his task by studying closely the movements
and actions of the supposed delinquent. On
his return from one of the missions on the
river, unperceived. he watched him as he sat
alone. He appeared frequently to take
something from his BOSOM which he pressed
to his lips, and then returned to its resting
place. The spy drawing gradually nearer,
was enabled to satisfy himself that the treas,
ured article was a rose further observation
the next occasion of the culprit's sallying
forth on the river, his course was tracked
by the spy, by whom he was seen to enter
the gate of one of the gardens sloping down
20 the water and to meet a young and hand
some Laos girl, with whom, contrary to the
sacerdotal law. he was seen to exchange
words, from whose hands he was also guilty
of receiving a rose which he pressed to his
lips. At length, being found absent from
his cell at a late hour in the evening he was
proved to have kept secret assignation with
the same maiden-an act which sealed his
fate. The following day he was tried for
his crime, and condemned to cruel death !;
while similar sad fate was adjudged to the
unfortunate maiden.

CAST AwAY.-H. NJ. S. Sheaywater lately
brought to Wooiwich, England, two seamen
~ Ii. M. 5. Chanticleer, whom she picked
off rock as she was leaving the Straits of
Magellan. They were at first thought to be
Patagonian savages, but they turned out to
be two Englishmen in dreadfully emaciated
condition and almost naked. They could
not have survived two hours longer. The
account they gave of themselves was most
distressing. On the 1lth of October a party
from the Chanticleer went out on a shootin q
excursion, and the two men were in boat
together returning to the vessel, when a heavy
gale came on, and they were driven out TO
sea and cast upon the rocks and were re
ported to the Admiralty as lost, their areas
of pay being paid to their relatives. The
men, whose names are David Riddler, second
captain of the foretop, and Samuel Henley
an able bodied seaman, gave distressin o
account of their sufferings. On being cast on
the coast of Patagonia the gale tore their
clothing to tatters, leaving them only two
blankets. an oilskin and few biscuits, for
warmth and subsistence. They economised
their natural heat by huddling together, their
only food for six weeks being musses and
other shelfsh picked off the rocks. The
ground was at the time covered with snow,
and Henley lost his toes from the severity of
the frost After being there about month
her Majesty's screw sloop Columbine, Com
mander Leigh Ward, from the Pacific, pass
ed through the Straits. and was seen by the
men, who waved their blankets; but unfor-
tunately were not seen, and they remained
there a fortnight longer. They had given
up all hope of life, and two hours before they
were rescued had sworn to each other that
whoever died first should not be eaten by the
survivor.

Catholic Church in the United States, the
Pope has raised the Right Rev. Eug
O'Connell, for many years the pious and
Jealous Vicar Apostolic of Marysvillc, to the
dignity of Bishop of the newly created Bish-

new diocese we are not advised, but learn
that Bishop O'Connell will take up his resi-
dence in our town. and one thing we feel
assured of, and that is, that better seection
for so important a position could not have
been made, and the people of the new diocese
have reason to be gratifed 1t must be
gratifying to the members of the church to
note the rapid progress made, from the cree,

TIE SeDtemher Session.

1t is not very certain that there will be
quorum of Congress present in Washington
on Monday. Should there be, whether they
will DO anything ornot depends altogctheron
me party necessity that may exist for their
action. Mcssrs. SCHENCK and MORGAN,
indeed, express the opinion that it is not
expected that any business will be done,
and that it is only desirable that some step
shall be taken to provide for an adjourned
meeting in case the party interests require
It. The Congress is merely the Radical
party, and is taking care of their party in
terest regardless of the national welfare.
The great point they have in view is TO
keep Mr.. JOHNSON firmly bound-unable to
do anything detrimental to the Radical
party. They are like the watchful spider
vino has fly in his web, and who, to make
sure of him, at intervals glides from his
hole aud with his agile legs attaches few
more lines to the body Of his envelopcd
victim
1t will take nearly all the Radical sena-
tors to make quorum. In both bodies
there are Radicals who are little fearful
of their position, and who would possibly
endanger their prospects by attending OF
Monday. We're very few senators to re-
main away there would be no quorum il
their body, and in that event, under thu
resolution of Congress, there can be nj
meeting until the regular day in Deem
berthe first Monday.

Trade of the Southwest

The merchants Of Richmond are recover
ing some OF the trade of Southwestern Vlr-
giuia, which went off, as matter OF course,
when the city was in ashes and the means
here of supplying the country custom haa
no, been re&cquired. Gradually the trade
with that rich portion of Virginia will come
back to Richmond ~ she RECEIVERS from the
calamity which so Frustrated her business.
So fruitful country must have large
comm cree with the scaboard, and Rich
mond, from her position and the demands
Tor her manufacturing establishments, must
engross large share Of ii.
There is no reason why Richmond may
not offer as good terms to country merchants
as any other city. If she does that, Eir-
gnia feeling will settle the preference in
her favor. Time will bring to her mer-
chants strength and ability, and give them
the power fully to take care of their own
and the States interests.

The Radicals are occasionally subjected
to rather unpleasant associations by their
plan Of the campaign with regard to ne
groes. They must admit them to partici-
patton in their public proceedings, and
blacks are often intruded into Radical
meetings Of a character so Objectionable
that they are not at MI welcome, but can't
be gotten rid of. A case in point is the re-
cent appearance Of AARON ALPEoRIA BRAD
LEY at public meeting in New York as
one of the speakers. BRADLEY was re-
Gently expelled from the Legislature of
Georgia for being felon, convict who
had served term in Sing Sing prison. He
mad been previously expelled from the
boston bar for embezzling money from
Clients. Yet he had the impudence to adj
dress the Radicals in New York, and they
were compelled to listen to him. Indeed,
they had been compelled to announce him
IN the papers as one of their leading speak
ers. They loathed him, and yet will set
up their association with him as a claim
upon the southern negroes for support of the
party. Sooner or later the negroes will
understand this Radical hypocrisy.

such thing as forcing negro suffrage upon

left TO the States--to the white people OF the
S,atcs-and Congress would not have inter-

A prominent gentleman in this State
urged the propriety of joining the Radical
party with this object. Upon his view OF
the case, and with his morality applied to
our situation and that of the northern peo-
pie, he thought it perfectly justifablc But
il was piece of strategy absolutely impos-
