 of a resolution to inquire into the Jfai ->■• < !'■ ■ ■

 of Illinois, to extend the investigation to tbe 

 seizing of tbe Arsenal in Missouri, at tbe time of 

 the Kansas excitement. This resolution opened 

 the subject of slavery, which was discussed with 

 gTeat freedom and tolerable good temper, (tar nod

 until Thursday evening, tbe 8th, when the Seoatc

There is a horse in tbe regiment of the 11th 

 Hussars of the English army, which has attained

 register it is shown that he joined the army as a

 to the Crimea in 1854, and was present in all the 

 actions, including Balaklava, in which that regi- 

 ment was engaged, being one of the very few

 of a high civilization ond a good deal of toot.hn 

 in this blessed land,

 sin) Advocate states tha'. m digging for wate 

 sloughs throughout the whole town of Yorkv 

 Racine county, traces of dense tamarack forests 

 are found, and generally in a leaning direct 

 their tops towards the southwest, as though si

Interesting Postal Decision— P. M. General 

 Holt has recently decided an interesting and 

 question. A husband «bo had been separated 

 from his wife, demanded that his village I 

 master should deliver her letters to him, 

 threatened a suit at law if bis demand was 

 complied with. Tbe wile, on the other ham' 

 bade tbe delivery of her letters to her bus 

 In these circumstances, tbe Postmaster snpn 

 to Mr. Holt for instructions. That gem!, 

 pronounces tbe claim advanced by the h'i- : : 

 too preposterous to be seriously refuted— ind 

 he says it is abhorrent to law as it is to the Co 

 ian civilization of the age — and he directs 

 Postmaster to deliver the letters to tbe wife. 



CALuunsiA Gold.— The shipments of gold from 

 California so far this year, greatly exceed those o 

 any previous year for the same time. As near a: 

 can be ascertained, tbe yield of gold from the Cal 

 ifornia mines, exceeds sixty millions of dollars per 

 annum, and this year the product, it is confidently 

 predicted, will be at least eighty millions. This 

 would seem to conclusively establish the inex 

 hauslible character of tbe mines and their aug 

 menting richness. 



Banking Perils in Georgia.— Banking is likely 

 to be girt with perils in Georgia. The Governor 

 of that State, in his recent message, recommends 

 a revision of the criminal code, to the end that a 

 suspension of specie payment by any bank of 

 Georgia shall be deemed conclusive evidence of 

 fraud on the part of tbe President and Directors, 

 and punishes the officers of the bunk for it, by im- 

 prisonment in tbe Penitentiary, without permit- 

 ting them to show that it was not a fraud. 



Marriage or Cousins.— Gov. Magoffin, of Ken 

 tucky, recommends the Legislature of that State 

 to prohibit by law, under severe penalties, the 

 marriage of cousins. He says that the imbeciles, 

 insane, deaf mutes and blind in the different asy- 

 lums of that State, who are the offspring of cons- 

 ins, is from sixteen to twenty per cent, of tbe 

 whole number; and he claims that it is the right 

 and duty of the State to protect herself against the 

 evil and expense by forbiddmg such unions, which 

 nature plainly forbids by tbe natural penalty she 

 uniformly indicts. 



Tub Cheat Easter* a Failure.— Tbe London 

 correspondent of the Boston But, writing about 

 the mammoth steamship, makes use of the follow- 

 ing language: — "The Great Eastern has flum- 

 muxed! The leading journal records its trial 

 trip as 'only a partial snecess.' We all know 

 what that means. She rolls like a porpoise or a 

 log canoe, the decks leak, the iron plates don't fit, 

 tbe decorations crumble and disappear, and— the 

 worst remains behind— she can only go a little 

 more than half the epeed that was expected of 

 her I The very best that can be got of her under 

 the most favorable circumstances of wind, water 

 and coal, is thirteen miles an hour. So say some 

 knowing engineers who were on board, and who 

 wished and hoped the most favorable results. 

 There is no disguising it. The great bull is 

 worth all it would bring for old iron." 



Nnw York Couubrce.— The amount of imports 

 at New York in October was 113,017,^6 against 

 *1 3,648,06* for October 1S58. Exports, $18,888,- 

 250— of which one half was specie. Total imports 

 for ten months, $211,202,116, being alarge increase 

 upon 1868, but a slight increase over 1637. Ex- 

 ports for the ten months, 1118,005,387. Duties 

 received, $88,833,700,08. The imports since Jan. 

 1st have been larger tban for the corresponding 

 of any previous year upon record. 



Eogland end France; but it secma that the English 

 overn meet have no idea of decreasing the strength 

 id efficiency of the army, for we have news by the 

 ime mail that the Eoglish Government bad de- 

 ded upon making a considerable increase in the 

 rmy, by the formation of o second battalion to 

 ich of the regiments up to and including the 31st, 

 by wbich means an increase equivalent to eleven 

 regiments will be obtained. The London Post 

 says this measure ought to excite no surprise, 

 n the small amount of the British army is com- 

 pared with the extent of territory which it has to 

 the draffs necessary for India and 

 China. 

 Tbe Morning Advertiser Btstes that it is the in- 

 ntion of tbe Government to limit tbe intended 

 Reform Bill to tbe mere extension of the franchise. 

 Tbe question of disfranchisement, and the mode of 

 taking tbe votes, are either to be deferred or made 

 separate measure 1 ).

Hi 9 reported on what is considered good author- 

 ily, that tbe French papers are restrained in their

Italv.— Geueral Garibaldi had quitted Nice for 

 Genoa. Before bis departure he addressed the in- 

 habitants of Nice, and said : " I shall resume my 

 command when necessary. Let us beunited under 

 Victor Emanuel. Let us continue under arms as 

 long as an inch of Italian sod remains oppressed." 



The Sardinian Government had add* - j sed a dis- 

 patch on the subject of the Regency i" Central 

 Italy to its diplomatic representatives ., tbe vari- 

 ous courts. It states that the Government recog- 

 nizes in the offer of the Regency to Prince Carig- 

 nan, the ardent desire of tbe popul. 

 Italy to see their reunion with the monarchy of 

 Sardinia consummated, but tbe Gi 

 au red of the early meeting of the Con| 

 vised tbe transfer of the acceptance of the Regency 

 to Chevalier Buoneampagui, until assembled Eu- 

 rope has regulated Ibe position of tbe province 0!

 compromised hy the part they bad taken in the 

 Italian affairs. The amnesty will apply 



character are to be executed. 



Spain. — A Madrid dispatch of the 21st says the 

 fort locutions of Ceuta continues. The embarka- 

 tion of tbe first corps da armU has been 

 pfeted, and the second ha3 commenced. The bad 

 weather renders the shipment of war material 

 difficult. Tbe organization of the bat tat 

 Basque province is proceeding actively. 



Toe Spanish Government is said to hare entered 

 into contract with English firms for the supply of 

 different sorts of stores for the army in Morocco, 

 and for a large quantity of English coal for the 

 fleet. 



Several steamers had also been chartered, and 

 one had already left England for Spain, to assist 

 in the transport service. 



Peace Congress.— Tbe ratifications of the treat- 

 Toe letters of invitation to tbe Congress will be 

 sent out from Paris. Prince Metternich will send 

 out those of Austria. The Le Norde says it is 

 probable the discussions on the Congress will ex- 

 tend over five or six months. The treaty of peace 

 will first be examined, and then the Italian ques- 

 tion will he discussed. It was reported that Coust 

 Rechberg, assisted by Prince Metternich, will re- 

 present Austria at the Congress. The Paris cor- 

 respondent of the London Times, in his latest let- 



the Congress had been del-iyed not from any differ- 

 ence between the English and French Cabinets, 

 but rather owing to some difficulties started by 

 Austria on the Itegency question. 



The father of the child Moitara had arrived in

Tub Transport or Cotton.— It 

 years since the Mississippi river via New Orlean. 

 was tbe only outlet for the great staple of thi 

 South. Within a short time, however, railroad 

 facilities hare increased so rapidly that competi 

 l ii m fin trade liun '-prungup, and now the 

 roads, as well as the canal and roads of 

 State, begin to be benefited by it. Heretofore 

 the cotton used at the mills in Oneida Co., and 

 other points, found its way from Mempbi 

 New Orleans and New York, and thence by 

 or railroad. Now it can be brought via Cairo, 

 Chicago, and Buffalo, at less rates. Tbe Illinois 

 Central road is now doing a large business io this 

 traffic for tbe North. It is stated that forty-one 

 cars, were loaded at Cuiro with cotton in a single 

 day lust week, aud 2,000 bales were sent over tbe 

 whole line of the ro»d during October, for the 

 factories of Western New York. 



Odd iast NuHBBfi was delayed somewhat in cou-
