THE POST.
ATHENS, MtlDAY, OCT. II, 1850.
Baltimore, Sept, SO.
Both houses of Congress adjourned sine
die it noon today. Nothing of moment was
done at the close of the session. The mem
bers are scattered in all directions.
The first slave under the fugitive law,
was successfully arrested in New York on
Friday, and brought home. The fugitive
negroes are leaving Pennsylvania, New
York, and other free States, for Canada.
There is a regular stampede among them.
From Texas. Accounts from Texas to
the 20th inst , have reached New Otleans.
The papers from this Stale say that the
popular feeling in favor uf accepting the
proposition of tho United Stales Congress,
relative to the purchase of a portion of her
territory, is daily gaining strength.
Excessive Iktekest. Horace Greeley,
npealting of the recent failure of the great
flour house, gives his opinion on tho danger
of buying paper at heavy discounts. "If
plo don't know that no legitimate buoi-
bear any such rate or interest as is
icd by the month, it is high
'.' out, even at a, rcspcctablo
licy don't know that any firm
uso paper is abundantly sou steadily tor
sale in Wall street at such rates, must ulti
mutely fail, they will be very likuly to ob-
tain that interesting information. Of course,
if a man chooses to play the game, trusting
to his own shrewdness and dexterity to win
by i, he will not be deterred by our remon.

when his stake- is on tho red, we don't see
how it can be helped, nor why any one but
the loser should cry about it."
Our friend the "Elder," takes a very de
pairing view of society. In a lite sermon
on "Tnir.1 Depravity," he observed that "we
kro all fellow sirpeti's, walking about on
the tips ofour tails." The elder next wuck
Will reduce Lot's wife to a pickle, after
which a collection will be taken up for sup
plying cologne lo our colored population.
iCpIf our young men miscarry in their
first enterprise, they lose all heart. If tho
young merchant fail", men say he is ruined.
If tho finest genius studies at one of our
Colleges, and is not installed in nn oflice
within one year afterwards in the ci'ies or
suburbs of Boston or New York, it seems
to his friends and to himself that be is right
in being disheartened, nd in complaining
tie rest of his life. A sturdy lad from N.
Hpmpiliire or Vermont, who teams it, farms
it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits
a , newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a
township, and so forth, successive years,
and always like a cat, falls on his feet, is
worth a hundred of these city dolls. He
walks abreast with his days, and feels no
shame in not "studying a profession," for
he does not postpone hit life, but lives al
ready. He has not one chance, but a hun
dred chances.
An Editor. The component parts of an
aditor sre defined thus: Tiie constitution of
a horse, obstinacy of ajmule, independence
of a wood-sawyer, pertinacity of a dun,
endurance of a starving anaconda, impu
dence of a beggar, and entiro resignation to
the most confounded of earthly treadmills,
and he must be a moving target for every
body to shoot at, and is expected to know
(everything, and to assist "busybodies," to
pry into the busineus of their neighbors.
If he does not come up to this description,
be cannot be thought a "good editor,"
A servant in the United States Hotel at
Memphis, woke a few mornings since, and
found to bis surprise and horror, a large
snake coiled up upon hie pillow, within a
few incbei of his bead. The darkey ran,
nd- the reptile escaped.
To try a man's self reliance, there is
nothing like a long wet Sunday. If that
doa't five you the blues, you mar write
yourself down as proof against melaneholy.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, Sept. 30.
At las! wo have reached the day that
terminates this remarkable session. The
two Houses will meet at nine o'clock 'his
morning, and wind up the business in a
few hours. Many members were off South,
North and West this morning. In the con
fusion cT the Saturday night session it was
difficult to know how some of the disagree
ing votes were settled; but it appears that
the House was unusually pertinacious, and
actually carried many points in opposition
to the Senate, which is quite a new feature
in the legislation of a closing session. The
House made important changes in the
Senate amendment lo the Land Bounty
bill, the Indian bill, and the Naval bill. It
was supposed, when I wrote last, that the
Senate amendment relieving1 Mr. Ritchie
from his contract and making him an al
lowance for work done, had finally passsd
or would pass by the adoption of the report
in his favor from the Committee of Confer,
ence, But the House, it seems, rejected
the reports of three conferences. Each
Committee of Conference was in favor o'
Mr. Ritchie, but the House would not
agree to either. So Congress, while it
leaves the country safe, has left the "Union''
in an embarrassed condition. Mr. Ritchie
has just cause of complaint that the House
have acted very harshly and illiberally in
regard to him. In former cases, it has been
usual to allow a handsome premium to
printers on losing contracts. Mr. Ritchie
signilied to Congress that at the end of the
session he must throw up the contract, from
inability to go on with the work. The
public printing will, therefore, slop until
Congress meet rjjain, and make seme pro
vision for it.
Tho proposition lor n new light cavalry
regiment failed in the Senate, hut the rank
and file have been increased hy the addition
of two mounted regiments, under officers
now in the service, and by filling up com
panies.
in executive session, IN. Sargent was
rejected as Recorder of the Land Office
and R. Thompson, late member from Indi
ana, appointed. Mr. Collier, Collector of
the port of San Francisco was rejected, and
in consequence of objections urged by Dr
Gwin. Nearly all the California and Utah
nominations were sent in and confirmed
Most of the Officers for Utah are residents
of the territoiy. The House set down the
salaries of the Judges of the United Slates
Courts in California to the ordinary level
Mr. Webster's former law associate, Mr,
Ilealy, was appointed Judge of the South
em district. The rejection of Mr. Peters
as Collector for New-Orleans was unex
pected. He was offered by Mr. Soule, and
the Northern Whigs voted against him
because the Southern Whigs had voted
against Mr. Frost, the NewYork Apprais
er. The Boston Postmaster was rejected
on the score of an opposition which he
made in the Councils of Boston, to a tribute
of respect offered lo the memory of Genl.
Jackson. Cor. Char, Cnur.
Mental Recreation. A well known
merchant remarked in our hearing.says the
Editor of tlio Columbian and Great West,
to a young man just commencing his ac
tive life, "I have experienced the ups and
downs of trade for thirty years have suf
fered severely, not only from the ordinary
losses which all must expect, but from (he
neglect and dishonesty of parties I have
employed; but, as an invariable rule, I
have left all recollection of business and
care upon the inside of my office door.'
And this merchant, though now upon the
upward side of fifty, has a brow as un
wrinkled and a form as erect as if all his
years had been passed in the sunshine of a
perpetual spring.
NT SENTIMENTS.
I will repel young Cupid's dart,
I'll never look no more,
Until I find a faithful heart,
That never loved before.
MY SENTIMENTS MEET A RETURN.
Oh! I have found a loving heart,
That's faithful, gentle, kind,
I'll not repel young Cupid's dort,
For she is wholly mine.
Exchange paper.
OUR SENTIMENTS.
"She love but you! She wholly yours!"
Oh Christian friend you'ie green to print it!
She's had ten beaux a year, for years,
Sioce we ran off because she squinted!
A Clever Thick. The Cayuga Chief or
Auburn gives the following:
We must not forget the capsbeaf "of all
cool things, which ceoie off or rather went
off, last Wednesday. Another convict has
violated his contract. In broad day-light lie
loaded up a wheel-barrow and went boldly
up to the northern gate and called out to
the turnkey to hurry up his cakes and open.
The officer supposing him on business con
nected with the prison, did so, and the im
pudent fellow walked through with his go
cart and walked off! lie was not missed
until about three hours afterwards, wben he
had dissppeared 'entirely,' sure! It was the
coolest thing we have heard.

of her neighbors.
New York Democracy Free Soil.
Major Noah, a leading New York Old Hun
ker Democrat, sums up the action of the Sy
racuso convention for (he nomination of
Stole officers:
"The nominations are a stroak of fat and a
streak of lean here a hunker and there a
free soilcr. Tho resolutions arc milk and
water, containing not one word in favor of
tho upright, honorable, and patriotic course
of senator Dickinson. His friends let him
drop like a lump of sugar in a tea cup. The
reins are again in tho hands of Van Burcn,
but we are much mistaken if such unprinci
pled means can be or ought to Jbo success-:
ful."
AccurrAELE Advice. No matter how
poor you have been or how humble your
origin got rich ifyou can. If you cannot,
then got money enough to mimic the rich.
Nick every body you deal with, if they
give you an opportunity. Show them a
sample, but sell them a poorer article. Lie
and cheat six days in a week, but bo sure
and be circumspect the other day. If the
ptoplo begin to find you out, make a showy
donation to some charitablo concern. It is
a great protection. Go to fashionable wa
tering places. Put up at a first. class house.
Sleep in a closet big enough fur yourself,
your wife, and a trunk of silks; but bo sure
and promenade as though you had millions
in your pocket. Fill your pocket book with
one dollar bills; and call (hern all 10s and
100s when you look for one to pay away.
You will give fasliionablo people tho im
pression that you are wealthy; and that is
the perfection of good living.
Fugitive Slave A fugitive slave has
been recovered at Harrisburg, Pa., under
the new law.
"This hot weather has made queer work
with Jones's vinegar," said Sam to Uncle
Nathan. "Ha has about forty hogsheads
on hand, and he thinks he shall have to get
rid of it the best he can; havn't you heard
about it?"
"No, I have not heard anything. What
is the matter; what is lbs trouble with the
vinegar?"
"It is ell sour."
"Sam, you will be the death of some
body yet."
Vicissitudes. The editor of the New
Orleans Delta, who is a friend of Senator
Foote, says;
"The General came to this city some
years ago, with the view of being admitted
to the bar. He was examined about the
same time we were. He was rejected
we were admitted. He is now a Senator,
and we a poor editor."
All right; Ihe preferred mas is an editor,
and the rejected only a Senator. Lou.

A Civil Reo.cest. An old woman observing-
a sailor go by her door, and sup
posing it to be her son Billy, cried run to
him, 'BiIIt, where is my cow gone?' The
sailor replied, in a contemptuous manner.
Gone to thed1, for what I know.' 'Well,
as you are going (hat way,' said the old
woman, 'I wish you would jest let down
the bars.'
A Nine Garden. A gen.Ieman in Cali
fornia writes to his wife in Ohio, that Lis
crop of tomatos on an acre and a half ofi,
ground was worth 818,000.
THE NEGRO STAMPEDE IN PITTS
BURG. The following telegraphic despatch to the
Ihltimore Sun, explains the despatch pub
!ohed by us a shnrt lime since, that "one
hundred and forty fugitive slaves hud left
Pittsburg for Canada, well armed." It

shlent in that State, and were never suspec

PnrsKURG, Sept. 21. There is some ex
citement here among the colored people,
owing to the pa'sagn by Congress of Ihe
fugitive slave hill, nnd the power it gives
to tho slave owner lo enter the free Stairs
and lake possession of his runaway properly
wherever lia finds it. Many of them are
preparing to lenve for Canad. in order to
escape from those that they expect will soon
be in pursuit of them. On .Saturday, a
largo number of them left the city, and some
of the first lintels are left very bare of ser
vants by this sudden movement. Many
have gone who were never suspected of be
ing fugitive slaves until the passage of this
bill, and many are preparing to join in the
general stampede.

A SPLENDID DESCRIPTION.
One Paul Denton, a Methodist prrarher
in Texa, advertised a barbecue, wi Ii bet
ter liquor than usually furnished. When
the people were assembled, a despcradJV. in
the crowd, cried out, "Mr. Paul Denton,
your rivcrence has liet'. You promised us
not only n good barbecue, but better liquor.
Where is Ihe liquor?"
"There!" answered the missionary, in
tones of thunder, and pointing his motion
less finger at the matchless double -print',
gushing up in two stron-r cl'im-, with a
sound like a shout of joy from the bjsom
ul the earth. "There!" ho repeated, with
a look terrible as the lightning, while his
enemy actually trembled on his feet, ''there
is the liquor which God, the Eiernil, brews
for all his children! Not in the simmeiing
Mill, over smoky fires, choked with pis.
