She had been living at Ciiiustiav Hcastos'h for about one month, and was still there when this sad occurrence took place. She was industrious and well-behaved, and had frequently testified her entire satisfaction with h?r employers. In the foieuoon she had done a small washing, and in the afternoon she had cut out a dress for herself and worked on it till the usual time for attending to the evening work, when 8hc laid aside her needlework and took the bucket and started to the barn for the purpose, ns she said, of milking the cows. Mr. Heaston, on going into his corn-crib about sunset, found the bucket in the crib containing the evi dence that the cows had been properly attended to. He attended to the feed ing of some stock and again went to the corn-crib, and finding the milk still there, he called to the house and made inquiries about the girl. She not being there, search was immedi ately made for her. She was found hanging to the end of a rope in a sheep heiter, entirely lifeless. Her toes were almost, if not quite in contact with the ground. A Coroner' Jury rendered a ver dict according to the above facts. A Post Mortem examination, made by our physicians, failed to elicit any clue to the cause of her self-destruction. She was decently interred on Fri day, April 1st. - The Democracy True to Slavery.

The remarks ate sensible and well-timed, and wor th v of consideration : "The MadUon County Journal has suspended publication. The reason assigned is want of a sufficient sup port to enable the publisher to pay the expenses of the paper. All newspaper expenses are to be met in cash, and the man or men who expect to succeed in the business of publishing on the credit system will be deceived by a few months experience. Publishers of country papers are fast learning that they can not get along with promises that it requires something more .sub stantial to 'keep things square.' Without a strictly cash system they can not make their calculations of an income to meet liabilities. The sys tern must apply to every department job work, subscriptions and adverti sing. The city press have found it necessary to adopt and adhere to the cah rule, and our country cotcinpora ries will have to do the sams to save themselves from lo-.s and continued poverty.

Very long and severely had the French been oppressed by the tyranny of tho aristocracy, nnd when Robespierre camo forward ready to place vengeanco in tho hands of the people, they rose en masse, and, re jecting the milder means of the (Jiron- dUts, followed him through tho blood of the nobility, until hundreds of France's noblest heads had been lolled from the scalfold by the guillotine. Such was the terrible extreme in the Political world. Scarcely less marked as an extreme, was tho revolution in the Religious world. From the most abject submission to the merest whim of a priest, the French turned to the most reckless defiance of Cod's will as known in Nature and Develation. Hxhemo.s might be mentioned in the Medical and Educational woild. Wherever there iias been a Devolu tion, there has been an extreme; and the Woman's Dights Deform is no exception to this rule.

The extreme position taken by most Woman's Dights Dcformcrs, is detri mental to their real interests. Some seem determined even to undermine the whole social fabric; to destroy the most sacred relation of lifv. These have vet to learn that woman's most effect Ivo field of labor is in her own home circle; that in improving herself, in Wing a help-meet for her husband, and in giving her children proper mental, moral, and physical education, she will find ample scope for the exer eise of all her faculties, however well developed.

His Sympa thien are with every body. He is not more careless in his dress than in his habit. Money is no object to him. If he goes to a restaurant to dine, he puts down a bill to pay for his meal and never looks at the change.

Our ample advices by Wednesday's arrivals from Furopc leave little doubt even among those who have hitherto doubted that a great Furopean strug gle is at hand. Whether Louis Napo leon really intended war when he, three months nOf addressed his men ace to Austria through M. Ilubncr, or meant only to exalt his prestige by catling the world to witness Austria recoiling and humbling herself before him, is no longer material. Suffice it that Austria is not a Portugal, and neither her pride nor her policy i con sistent with the role which the French usurper has assigned her. In full view I of her heterogeneous populations,abasc- ment is suicide; she can better endure an Austerlitz. Austria will concede nothing not even though Dussia on the Fast is known to be tbe secret ally and insti gator of France on the West. She will not recoil, but she will fight; and now louis Napoleon has thrown back upon him tho choice which he set be fie h(?r to be disgraced or go to war. And there can be no doubt as to his choice though cowardly as Parollcs, he must fight; since his throne is sup ported on bayonets which would de sert him if he were to seem recreant. Thus events march toward & grand conflagration with inexorable strides, and June will probably sec the plains of Lombardy red with the blood of thousands of the dying au 1 the dead. From the Savannah Kcpublie.in. The Last of the Wanderer's Ne groes. The following extract from a letter received by the editor, from a highly respectable citizen of Telfair County, will be found to contain full particu lars of the recent arrest of Africans in Worth County, and the circumstances under which they were discharged from custody by the United States Depnty Marshal : John F. McDac of this' county. Dep uty United States Marshal, having been instructed by the Marshal to cap ture any Africans he might find pass ing through the country, was informed that there were thirty-six in charge of one or two men. on their way to the Alabama line. He summoned a posse often men, some of our best citizens, pursued and overtook the negroes in Worth County, arrested them as Dep ute United States Marshal under his instructions, and brought them to Jacksonville and put them in jail, and sent an express to the Marshal at Sa vannah, reporting the arrest and his action in the matter. The negroes remained here till the answer from tho Marshal came, which stated he had telegraphed and written to the authorities at Washington, nnd had received no answer respecting the Africans then known to be iu the country; that the (Jovernment knew of the Africans being in the State, and had given him no orders, and that his advice was to tum them loose and let them proceed on their way. When this letter came, and as the arrest had been made by tho Authority of the United States, and in good faith, the negroes were released; the person iu charge of them paying for the provis ions they consumed, and mcdiral at tention to those that were side. One or two of those assisting iu the, nrrcvt retook the negroes and demanded pay ment for their outlay and trouble, threatening to carry tho Africans to Covernor Drown if it was not paid. A compromise was made to the satis faction of the parties, and "Me last of the Winitfcrrrs car't" were allowed to depart in peace. The negroes disliked very much to leave, as I hey had been treated kindly by the citizens." Testimonial to bidding. Tho colored people of New York and Diooklyn last evening, nt the Shiloh Presbyterian Church, corner of Prince and Marion streets, presented to the Hon. Joshua D. Oiddings a fine American gold watch, as a testimonial of their confidence and gratitude. A large Dible was also presented to him, in behalf of the ladies of the Oiddings and Jeliffe Association. The Church was crowded, principally by colored people, and the proceedings were con stantly interrupted by applause. The Dev. Dr. Cheever opened the meeting with prayer, the Dev. Mr. (tarnet made the presentation, and Mr. (Fid dings responded, telling some stories of fugitive slaves in Ohio, which exci ted the audience intensely. He said that war had lxen declared by the Supreme Court on the blacks, and black men must meet it. He did not counsel war, but he would say, as he had said in the House of Deprescnta- tives to slaveholders nnd doughfaces, that if he were- a slave and Ood gave him the power, he would gain his lib erty if he had to travel front Mississip pi "to Maiden upon the dead bodies of slaveholders. He counseled resistance to any and all attempts to enslave.

Hunt of New York, to revive or keep in existence the Old Whig party, arc as futile and absurd as would Kc the attempt to breathe life into a dead mummy fresh from ths hecatombs of Egypt. The Whig paity is dead and buried. Whatever of good or evil it could do has leen already performed. It has accomplished its mission. It was a great ami formidable party in its day, and embraced in its mcmlership its full ipiarter of the intelligence, public writers and patriotism of the nation, and had among its leaders some of the noblest statesmen of the land. Its (-'lay, Webster, Adams, Harrison and Taylor are no more, and the issues upon which its great battles were fought, are no longer subjects of con test. As a party therefore there is no further necessity for its existence. The Drpublicau paityhas succeeded to its position as the antagonist to the Democratic organization of the day. Its Icadiug principles is oppoaitka to minor points, and conciliation in ovcrvthing.

This accomplished, and a new condi tion of aflairs established, it will Ik time enough then to differ about mm essentials. (. Joshcn Times. Letter from Kniisn I'iLr' IVnL Hit nihil c. from the Cincinnati (i.mttr.l Iowa Point, K.T., March i!o. I have just got in from an interest ing hunting excursion, and finding a few leisure moments at hand, I have concluded to drop you a few lines with regard to Pile's Peak llumhmj. It is highly interesting, if not exciting, to see and mingle with tho thousands of expectant gold seekers, who nre daily, arriving, and outfiting for n trip over the plains. I have sent a few days in each of the cities of Kanzas City. Leavenworth, and St. Joseph. They principles and hearty affection of Dr. Osgood of Spiingfichl, on whose min istry he attended for five ears. He had a lucrative occupation a wool grower and dealer in Ohio, and gained a medal as exhibitor of wool at the World's Fair; and now finds himself iu the "wool business" still, in a lau I where men find nioic dreaded fcs than the young Hebrew shepherd found in the leasts that took a lamb out of the (lock. I am well informed that the people at Orinncll took care of the company for two days furnished them food for their journey, and on Sabbath even ing took up a collection for them, as well as on Saturday evening.

With regard to the real merits of tho "newly discovered gold fields," I have had peculiar advantages for obtaining reliable information. 1 have seen several parties who have ariived from there within the last few weeks, some of whom I know to In? truthful and disinterested persons. Thev all concur in saving thafPike Peak" is a humfnirj, and that the many favorable reports sent to the States, arc emanations of town lot specula tors, who arc reaping rich harvests from the credulous masses, who be lieve that it will tnrn out to be a new Fldorado, and that fortunes may lc made in a few short mouths. I hac no doubt but that gold exists at Pike's Peak (the opinion of Dr. Vaughan, and other eminent geologists, who have prospected the country, to the contrary notwithstanding), but it is found in such small piantitics, that it will not pay to work the mines. In conclusion, let me say, that nil who have comfortable homes, and loving friends, in the States, had bet'er re main tlnre; at least, not emigrate to Pike's Peak, with any ex pretat ions f bettei ing their condition; if they do, thev will most asstiredlv be "taken in and done for." It is movthe hev-dav with border trading points, und they nre reaping rich harvests. The men on the bonier, here, are perfectly ipiiet, and not the first one is outfitting for the mines.

Mr. Deecher left immediately, but sent a fiiend back to inquire how that man should know him disguised as he was?

"Obi Captain Drown of Kansas!" I have set my eyes on this old hero. feared by Missouri invaders and loved by the legions of liberty in Kansas a a father. He had a company of twelve colored people (who I only dare gueu were once slaves) cn route for Canada, where I trust thev arc safe. To me he i a historic character. In the family simple-hearted as a child. he narrates stirring scenes, placing himself in the back-ground of the pie- lure; wiuie an eye ol tho most ilcterm ined expression I ever saw at once supplies what the modet of the nar rator has withheld a personal. He i tho impersonation of firmness. - Among hit company, white and black. with a long, gray beard, and a head frosted with sixty winters, he walks like a patriarch, if that early name implies leadership and devotion. Those of his company destined for Canada, if not impeded, were to have gone south to Texas. Capt. Drown avows his philosophy to be the show ing of Dorder Duflians that they have enough to do in taking care of slavery in Missouri, without making a foray on the people of Kansas to establish slavery there against th; votes and wishes of that people. As tnl sparen him, he says, he will "deliver the poor that cry," and does not conceal the fact in open day he conducted out those who dreaded next to death a more Southern prison-house. Two companies of slave-hunters, headed by a marshal, looked upon them, but were not ready to lose their lives in a negro-hunt. Since the exodus, a child was bom among them, which was at once named "Captain John Drown." A reward of So'Od by the Cover nor of Missouri for Diown, with the A Dkactiii i. Wiutk Si. Avi: Mam Minr.i.
