The Emperor of Dominica, Faustin I., says the Paris Chronicle, who imitates France in all things, and has, like her, princes, marshals, dukes, counts, colleges, and .uni versities, recently resolved to establish an Academy of forty members, like the world renowned French Academy. But it was not easy to select the forty ; every inhab itant of the empire who could write his own name, thinking himself qualified. So his majesty decreed that 3,000 of bis subjects, who possessed the reputation of being the most learned of all should, on a given day, assemble at the royal palace, and hi subject ed to a literary tent. When they were col lected, he announced that the test was the writing of the word citron ; and, that those who made no error in the lpt1 ling, should be members of the Academy. Pen, ink, and paper wore brought; each of the 3,000 peo ple wrote the word, and the judges of the land and the bench of bishops were charged to examine the 3,000 papers. They pro claimed that 39 only of the candidates had written the word correctly that is with a C, the remaining 2,961 huving used an S. 'Only thirty-nine," cried tho Emperor, "and we want forty. Well I will be the fortieth member myself." "Sire," cried the judges, your majesty will no doubt, deign to submit to the test?" "Of course," exclaimed Kaus tin, and in a large bold hand, he wrote Xitrou with an X. The judges looked puzzled for a moment, and then, after glancing at each other, proclaimed that his Majesty bad passed triumphantly through the ordeal. The Em peror was thereupon proclaimed, amidst the enthusiasm of the general assemblage mem . ber of the Academy. "And 1 will be Per petual Secretary too," added his Imperial Majesty, with pardonable vanity. CSyOne or two attempts have been made to abstract books from the law Department of the State Library. The window had been raised and the books placed on the sill out s'ds, but were discovered when the Librarian went lo close up at night. This is the second attempt that has beau made to rob the State Library. The rogue is evidently b ent ou gaining some knowledge of law. Decline is Tobacco. The Louisville Journal says 41 hhds of tobacco shipped to New Orleans iu August last was recently sold. The lowest estimate of the value when shipped was $100 per hhd., the nett pro ceeds less than $75 per hhd., making the snug loss of more than $25 per hhd. To bacco has, however, declined here fully as much since August. , 8g The steamer Kate Sarchet brought for EvansviUe houses and re-shipment to New Orleans, 3,000 packages pork, lard and wheat. She will leave for HuUonville and all way places on the Wabash, this evening (Thursday) at 3 o'clock. ßQy We call attention to the advertise ment of Mr. J. H. Baird, Dentist, who has located permanently in our city. lie is a fine workman and warrants his work. His office Is at No. 45, Main street. 8,The Vincennes Gazette says a gay Lothario of that city, was shot for attempt ing to captivate a "black swan" of that place, not by the wooing of a " lovier," but net armie.

B It is proposed to tender Gen. Scott a grand reception in Charlestor , shortly, on the occasion of a brief stay there, while en route from New York to Havana. The Vienna correspondent of the London Timet, alluding to the attempt of Russia to purchase the principality of Mo naco, says that during the late war that principality was ceded to the United States, but the convention never ratified it, because some at the European governments pro tested. . ' ' tSf Dr. Owen's Geological Report ot Arkausas will soon be printed and ready for delivery. The Memphis Enquirer announces ! that Hon. Jerc. Clemens has become perrua ; nently associated with that paper and will , take the chief control of the editorial de- ! partment. Mr. Clemens was formerly U. S. ; Senator f rom Alabama. The Eatjluj in j ; making thU announcement, says of him : ' Mr. Clemens is known to the whole couu- j try as a forcible writer and a profound states man. There is no man in the South there is none in the nation whose opinions would have more weight on political ques tions. Standing upon a great national plat form, he will advocate the Union as it is, and the Constitution as it is, and repel all sectional encroachments. Thb Vote is thb North-west. The Cin cinnati Enquirer gives the following as the popular vote of the North-west, according to the elections of 1856 and 1858: Ohio 390,000 Illinois 252,000 Indiana 235,000 Michigan 120,000 Wisconsin 130,000 Iowa 95,000 Minnesota 35,000 The seven North-western States adds the Enquirer poll a hundred thousand more votes than the fifteen slave States and they cast- nearly one-third of all the votes of the Union ! After the census of 18C0 the North-west will be the governing power of the confederacy. They already cast nearly three times as many popular votes as the New England States, who arrogate to tbemseives so much importance. Canal Receipts. Arrived.

OOA'GRESSIONAL.. Washington, Dec. 22 m House. On motion of Phelps, of Mo., the House resolved itself into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, on the bill for tho payment of invalid and other pensioners, appropriating $862.000. The House passed the Soldiers Pension bill. Yeas 130. Nays 73. Sexatb. The Senate went into Execu tive session. WA3HiaraT0X, Dec. 22 p. m. Housb. The Military Academy Bill,after several speeches were made, was laid aside t be reported to the House. Phelps, of Mo-, offered a series of resolu tions referring to the various branches of the President's message to the appropriate Standing Committees. Mr. Comins remarked there was much in the message to approve and much to con demn. While the President is anxious to enforce measures against Spain and other countries for the satisfaction of claims even to war, he had nothing to say of the delin quency of our own Government, and tht neglect of Congress to do justice to clainft cf its own citizens, founded on justice. He then explained and advocated a bill for the relief of Xathnniel and Benjamin Goddard, the claim growing out of the sciznre of the ship J. Taylor, during the war of 1812, and reviewed the correspondence on the subject, showing the inconsistency and con tradictory course pursued by England, and exposing her object, which lie believed to be to defeat our policy and secure a firm footing on the Isthmus. He doubted the good faith of England in seeking to avoid a direct issue on the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, by negotiating with the weak States of Central America, and not directly with the U. S. Government. He advocated the ab rogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and a more decided policy on our part as due the interest aud honor of this country. He reviewed the history of the Monroe doctrine, explained tho circumstances under which it was announced and the necessity of it at the time, as well as its importance now. Mr. Morris, of Ills., explained his bill giv ing the people of organized territories authority to elect their judges, governoif, and all other officers, and poviding for the formation of State Constitutions where they hive sufficient population to elect one mem ber to Congress. He had hoped that the old issue on the Lecompton Constitution would have been allowed, to sleep, but it had been revived by the President in his message. The Democracy of Illinois have always been brave nnd f tithful,T yet a hostile policy has been pursued towards them by the Ad ministration. The guillotine has been at work and the places of good men have been supplied ly miserable scoundrels and syco phants. This he boldly asserted and could prove. Mr. Washburne, of Ills., usked : Do I understand such persons have been appoint ed by the present Administration. Mr. Morris replied that he did not assert that the character of those individuals was known to the heads of departments, hut it is a fact that they were appointed to office. The passage of his bill would quirt 'he slavery agitation in Congress. Mr. Ititchie, of Ponn., characterized the election of judges and governors of terri tories as absurd nnd referred to Utah and its uufovorable operation there. Mr. Morris said Mr. Ritchie could insert an amendment exempting the territory of Utah from the operation of the bill. Davis, of Miss., aked and obtained per mission to print his speech. Its subject was not mentioned. Mr. Millson, of Va., gave some reasons why he was opposed to the duties. The Committee then rose. The invalid pension and West Point ap propriation bills were passed. Mr. Morris, of Pa, gave notice of his in tention to introduce a bill providing for specific duties on a certain class of imports, aud so amendatory of the present tariff as to furnish an increase of revenue to the treasury, and a proper protection to the labor and industry of the country. Mr. Davis of Miss., asked leave ( butob jetions were made) to offer a resolution in structing the Committe on Foreign Affairs to offer a bill authorizing the President to take possession of Cuba until satisfaction was given for insults offered on persons aud property of our citizens. The House then adjourned. Skxatk. Mr. Seward, of Now York, in troduced a bill which was read twice by title, authorizing the renewal of offices be longing the United States, and occupied by collectors of revenue in connection with the quarantine station in the port of New York. Mr. Seward also presented a memorial of the gold and silver leaf manufacturers of New York and elsewhere ; alse, three peti tions of citizens of Onedia and Jefferson counties of New York, praying for the erect tion of a breakwater at the port o Cape Vincent. All these petitions were referred to the proper committees. Mr. Clay of Ala, submitted a resolution which was adopted, calling on the President for copies of the correspondence between the Mexican Government, Mr. Forsythe,and the State Department, and such other infor mation as will elucidate the complications which resulted in the suspension of diplo macy between the two governments. Mr. Hunter of Va., submitted a resolution which was adopted, requiring the Postmas ter Oeneral to inform the Senate what changes in postal loans are necessary to j render tho Department self-sustaining. On motion of Mr. Mallorv, a joint resolu tion wa3 adopted permitting certain officers of the navy to accept from the British Gov ernment certain medals and snuff boxes. Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, introduced a bill which was referred to the Committee ou the District of Columbia to appropriate 1,000,000 acres of public land for the bene fit of free public schools in the District. Mr. Davis, of Miss., reported from the Committee on Military Affairs a substitute for the bill relating .to military offices. Sevtral messages, the contents Of which arc unkuown, were read from the President. Whcreupou the Senate went into Executive session for several hours, after which they adjourned. . - - - ."

It only needed the songs of the birds and the bud ding of trees to give ns a veritable spring, just before Christmas. The weather at Cin cinnati was unusually rainy during the day Thursday but cleared off cc Id at night. On Monday svening a steady rain set iu at St. Louis with every indication of continuing for some time. . . , The river here is about stationary and nearly bank full. Our friends ia the bayou need feel no more uneasiness, unless we have a good deal more rain. We confess, liowever, that this "warm spell " portends more falling weather of some kind. We never saw business so dull, for so fine a day as it was yesterday. Few boats passed and no freight of any consequence is on the wharf for shipment. The Silver Star left with a light trip, but iu high spirits. The wreck of the steamer R. W. Adams, recently sunk on the falls in Red river, has complently blocked navigation at that point until another rise. The river at Cincinnati was steadily re ceding on Tuesday evening, at the rate of from 25 to 30 inches every 24 hours. At St. Louis the river is reported to be sta tionary. The ice has all disappeared from the neighborhood of that city. The Kate Sarchet came in night before last with a good trip. 7ha following is her manifest: 1. A. Crane, 840 sacks wheat; Bemcnt & Viele, 301 sacks wheat ; Preston Bros., 321 sacks wheat; P.-G. O'Riley A Co., 8 sacks wool; Orr, Dalzell & Co., 3 bbls. tallow. She leaves to-day for the Wabash at 3 o'clock, and wishes our shippers to bear this in mind, and have their freight ready. The Kate is emphatically one of our own boats and deserving of our patronage. The Tigress left Cincinnati light on last evening, intending to run a flying trip to New Orleans. She will probably be at our landing to-day. SCJiJB9.y? have haud a supply of Wo can also furnish TRACK SCALES of any ca pacity. Thesa Scales aro from tin. manufactory of K. X. FAIRBANKS r CO., 8t.
