John Forsyth, editor of the Mobile Register, lately Mr. Buchanan's Minister i i Mex ico, but now an enemy of the President, has just been elected to the Legislature of Alabama, on the Douglas platform. At the Galveston, Texas, Theatre, with move honesty than delicacy, the Hunchback has been announced on the bills with "Julia, by Mrs. Henrv, her first appearance since her confine ment." It is stated that Mr. Herbert, the artist, is to receive i>!l,000 for his fresco on the walls of the Royal Gallery of the new Houses of Parliament: the subject chosen being "Justice 011 the Earth, and its development in Law and Judgment." FuanklinShitii, a Democratic candididato for Congress in the Vieksburg ;Miss.) district, shot, a few days since, the editor of the Canton Corn morticcillh in the streets of that town. The wound is severe but not mortal. Smith was offended with an article in the Commonwealth. The steam canal boat Enterprise is making regular trips between Zanesville and Cleveland. The expense is said to be less than one-fourth that of horse power, and not one-fourth the time is required to accomplish a given distance. AY uat chaps those Zouaycs are to be sure.? They light and slaughter like demons, but show a woman's tenderness for pets. A letter describing a Zouave regiment on the inarch says "one has a cat, another a parrot, a third an owl, a fourth u cage of little birds, and while I write one hasjust passed under my window leading a lamb." An Albany policeman catching two burglars in the act of entering a man's house, gave the alarm, and the burglars escaped into the back yard, and the policeman supposed into thestreet. In the morning at an early hour the housemaid heard a rap at the back door, and two gentle men politely requested permission to pass through into the street, which she granted.? They were the burglars. ^ ? A fellow at Chicago, the other day, was found on the roof of a house "peeking" into the win dow of a young lady's bed-chainber. The pro prietor of the house discovered him, quietly drew a pistol and fired at him, but the young man managed to escape the shot and get away from the premises. Lie was subsequently ar rested and fined ?G0 and costs. Is Cattaraugus county, N. Y., a farmer named S. A. Thomas, of Kartnersville, Vast" week made a net and commenced its use a little before sun set, and the result of half an hour's operation on one and a half acres of spring wheat, was 'j:)J lbs of grasshoppers, after going through and back each time the net %vas emptied into a bag, ami the bag when full put into a barrel of water to.drown the "varmints." A writer in the N. Y. Observer complains of impure air in most churches and thu consequent drowsiness of congregations. He knows of one, however, "where there is air enough, and where a crowded congregation is constantly refreshed with the breath of life. They keep awake.? Perhaps they think it is the preacher ; perhaps he takes all the glory to himself. Let him try preaching in the black hole of Calcutta, and see if he deserves the credit."' -?? In the Sing Sing, N. Y. prison there are at present, one hundred and thirty?six female con-: victs. The Prison baby, says a correspondent of a New York paper, the child born 15 months since, of a convict mother, as handsome a boy as one sees anywhere, we saw sleeping in his cradle, unconscious of his birth place, or of his inheritance. There i? another younger child in the prison, but this fine looking boy receives the distinctive honors of the eiJest born, and right nobly does he bear them. Who can pre dict his destiny V ? ? On*e of our countty exchanges noles the fact that there is a suspicious looking individual go ing round the country, accompanied by a dirty, thieving little monkey. Wherever this individ ual spies a bedroom or parlor window open, he "stops and listens, and it he is satir-fied that there is no one present in the rooms, he sends Mr. Monkey creping slyly up the front of the house into the open window. The man-monkey who remains 011 the sidewalk, has educated the ani mal to fasten on to little valuables, such as bracelets, breast pinr, finger rings, or loose change, which his monkcyship may fiud lying on the toilet or centre tables. The tnan monkey should be watched, and. if caught, we hope he will be held responsible for'the burglary of the animal. Thk woman's rights convention had a couple days'; session at Saratoga Springs,last week, and "resolved that women, like men, have a right to do anything and everything which is in itself morally right-" Well, asks the Spriiigfield Re publican, why do they not go and do what is right and they've a mind to, and stop talking about it? Antoinette Brown preaches, Miss Black well doctors, Mrs. Oaksmith lectures, Har riet Ilosmer makes stntues, and Alice Caiy "writes for the Ledger," nr.d nobody denies their right, for it is based on their ability. Women's rights arc as women's abilities and wishes? nothing more, nothing less. ' THE PltESCKlFTION. The Doctor felt hi? languid pulj?v And .cave him mass and myrrh, Adrls tda drse of Epsom salts, Antl advised him to drive away melaccholj-vith an occa sional glass ofiagtrbler! [fc'rojn tWN.

It umlnatod. from-the Republican National Com mittee,; and -^hears the date ,of Albany, Aug. IB!

Twenty?iiS'c j5tut?sfare represented in the ComriiUtce. bis" Qf, Xftu nuin ber beins Slave Suites. ||j The trine of the {locume'itis pci ious, moderate, land national. It, reco-jnizus the line of dislina : tion which has been drawn by events, placing; in contrast, the opposing political elements of Freedom and Slavery. That,this is the ground on'which the country will vote, has,long,;bcen manifest. The development of opinion in the South has been astonishingly rapid-,- unhesitort* | ingjf and uncoftprflfBT^rgy during tlre'liWf,ifii',.v months, on the master topic which furnishes the. key note to a struggle, which we have j nohesitation in pronouncing the ino^.t signili. cant and pregnant in which the popular masses of any country evor engaged. If any party with national principles and aims could have been brought lo stand on middle ground six months ago, the extraordinary vigor and appa rent unanimity witli which' the-single issue of reopening the African slave trade has been pressed, would have driven it back, and forced upon it the declaration that there is 110 longer any middle ground on which reasonable, en lightened, and patriotic men, can stand. The issue is not within the Constitution?it is on the Constitution. Weighti/.fis are the questions which h'lte liithrrto iltiijlid Che country, Sffcet iii'j its policy of fhidiice, con/merilj', general econ omy, itriprotefflcnl, and foreign rel ations, (hexe ore now nil swept aside, and there remains but the single, hold, vneoinplicated issue, of drag ging out from its secret lurking place* in the shallows of the African, and Cuban. coasts, and restoring to honor upon the high scan, the mas! atrocious traffic the sun ecer shone upon?the traffic in human beings' It is among the moral phenomena of the age, that such a question should be entertained elsewhere than on the deck of a pirate, and by the worst outlaws of civilization. It is the last !clinching testimony to the degrading influences of negro slavery on the mind of a race itself naturally noble, capable of the highest, cnlturc, and of the urea test deeds. JOS. T.
