How he will manage to promulgate his decrees, ukases, pronuueiamentos, and " instructions," and fulminate his anathemas, we can't imagine, unless be starts a paper on his own hook.

Therefore, it is not likeiy that now they will speud money in such desperate games. No man, much less one that is posted, is going to bet on a game when his opponent holds , all the winning cards. Prof. Fletcher. This gentleman delivered a very interesting address to a not very large lint appre-' ciative audience last nio;ht ou the subject of Education. His remarks were listened to with the utmost attention, by those present, and frequently elicited applause. We regret that so few of the friends of education in our city were out. While ;lie mere announcement that there is lo be a political speech never fails to fill Moz.irt Hall, it does not arrne welt for our interest in educational matters that so few thought proper to go to hear an address on that subject. Perhaps our citizens think no improvement can be made in their already justly celebrated system of public schools, and failed to attend for that reason. Thefro were religious meetings in the city which tl.:t vnt-.ld r.tlier- ' ' , wise not have failed to be present Mr. Fletcher promised that next year, after he had entered upon the duties of tho office which ha would be elected to fill next .... . . . month, he would visit us again and speak to our people on his favorite theme.

Early left to a dependence "i"J" wwh icauuivco, u " class who having by self-reliance and persevering etfort acquired an honorable position in life, are denominated self-made men. Combining with rare business abilities all the quiet self-respect and retiring modesty of the perfect gentleman, he was one to j be trusted and honored as a man of business, j and respected and beloved as a friend. A native of Mt. Carmel, hwSvas for a peI riod of more than twenty years identified, iu the different capacities of pilot, com- ; uander and steamboat owner, with the Wabash river trade. He began life as a ; river B&r river man, whilst a mere youth, in the catrustworthy officer. , , . . -. Advanced to the di nity of Captain, he rapidly gained the respect and esteem of those with whom ho was connected in business, filling the position o -'- - 1 ... . . ... . -141 . , Luuiiiiiiuuc. iii.ij ai.ju.in rvuuiiv null am;eess. He was at one time captain and owner of the ittmoit Belie, and afterwards built and cotninanileii the John M. Stociinetl, a famous boat in her time. Within a short time only, be, in connection with Mr. Wm. Brown, Capt. Scott and others of this city, built the Autocrat, the largest steamer ever built in Evensville. Having disposed of his interest in the Au . tocrat he became owner and commander ot the l'amiy Bullitt, which position he held at the time of his death. In him lu- the lioating interest lost a most efficient member and one of its brightest ornaments. Cut down in the prime of life, with a prospect crowded with the brightest hopes for the future, he leaves a multitude of sorrowing friends to mourn his departure. L6t us trust that he has ascended to a purer sphere of existence, beyond the reach of the trials of this life egainst which he struggled so manfully, and which he so triumphantly overcame. Fai.se Rurours. Interested parties who are getting frightened at George Wolllin's popularity, are circulating all kind of absurd and falco stories about him. Amongst other things it is charged, that he intends, if elected, to sell out his office to some other person. VYo are authorized to say, that if Mr. W'olflin is elected Sheriff, he will hold the office himself and attend personally to its duties . We doubt not that he will make a first-rate Sheriff ; that he will give due and proper attention to both the crimina' and civil business of the position, and that he will employ competent and accomodating deputies to assist him in his duties. Another story raised against Mr. Wolllin is, that when elected City Collector several yean ago, he sold the office out to Mr. Kehr. The fact in the case is this: Mr. Wolflin had his office in Mr. Kehr's place of business, and employed Mr. K., to assist him, so that one of them uiicrht alwavs be in the office for the pub!ic accommodatiou. Mr. Gavitt, . had SQmo han(1 in gtartiaff tuifl story must recollect that he lives in a glass house. Does he not remember that ho farmed out the Sheriffs office four years ago to Mr. Jco. B. Hall, and left town to be gone for a long time.

"Now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation." Look to vour own and the welfare of our thriviutr citv. Shall this great undertaking, to which you are culled to lend a Helping nand, ' go down or up" ? Let your deeds be a sufficient reply. Since writing the above, we learn by Mr. Smyth, the efficient superintendent; that fifty men or more have been engaged, the past week, on the canal, from Port Gibson to Newberry. And we will further state, that many of these men have labored gratutiously for the purpose of advancing the work. Mr. Louis Bollm.m, in one of his admirable letters, printed in the Indianapolis Journal, on State affairs, shows in the following how the Governor and Auditor of State made money out of the Swamp Lands in violation of the act of the Legislature and fairness to the people whom Unrepresented : Certificates af Purchase of Swamp Ea rids. The law allows the Auditor of State to receive 50 cents for each certificate l y him issued. It allows the 3arae to the Secretary of State for issuing and recording a deed to the purchaser ot Swamp Lands. Now to increase muse ices, imre oincers woum not issue a certificate, nor execute a deed for over 40 acres of land, no matter how mich tho buytr might have purchased. If he bought a whole section he could not have one certificate and deed, bat they made him take 16 certificates and 16 deeds, thus making the State pay them $10 instead of $1, and mnking the purchaser pay $16. for having his deeds recorded iu the County Recorder' office instead of $1. Does the lawdemand this oppressive and expensive course. Let us see. In order to sell the Swamp Lands to the best advantage, the Statute, R. S. 1852, p. 47J, required them to be 3old in quantities not exceeding 40 aero The art nrnsirlaa not excee.iu.g 4ii acres. i tie act pro ides iu.!. mic vuuu.j ic3uid .mi - ment by the purchaser of any tract or tracts," give him a duplicate receipt, specifying the receipt of money, 4c, "the namber of acres in the tract or trucU." Sec. 14 of the same Statute requires the Auditor of State, as soon as he shall receive the returns of the sales "to prepare a deed of conveyance by way of warrantee deed, in the names of the purchaser, for the land purchased," to be signed by the Governor and attested 03- the Secretary. These are all the laws I have seen in reference to the execution cf the certificates and deeds, and it will at once be seen that, althoiigh the sale was to be made in a 40 acre tract, yet the certificate and deed were to embrace " the tract or tracts " 1:0 sold to any person . The Auditor, therefore, violated the law in refusing to i.sue a certificate or deed tor over 40 acres. Vet Wright ami Willard permitted this violation, not forgetting, I presume, in so doing, the 16c. for each patent they signed, allowed them by unconstitutional legislation. In at tbe Death. The Troy Arena gives an account ol n strange woman who bus Baade her appearance in that city. Ii says; " Tor the last six months an unknown woman, rather interesting und attractive, well, but not llashily dressed, of modest and quiet mien, apparently bordering on thirty years of age, aud with that bloom pfx her face which is supposed to mark the young widow, bas been in the hntdt of attendin nearlv all the funerals iu Protestant families in this city, whether held at private I house nccotii term Th forms the same benevolent service toward political part ve: He first helped to bury the old Wlii.-?, then the Websfcr w hi-s, next the Americans, and last night he was engaged in paying due funeral honors to the Djllmi Bill Fix lull fusion schi un-.

Editor I trust it will not be necessary for friend Jones to call witnesses to prove that Mr. Lincoln did not steal sixteen dollars worth of steel pen3 when he removed from Indiana to Illinois. If, however, witnesses are necessary, I think it would be well to call upon the stel pens to testify. Mr. Lincoln left Indiana in the Spring of 18J0, and I would ask "Valentine" if there , were S16 worth of steel pens at that time I in Spencer. At that time the writer of this was going to Echool in one of the old thirteen, and used the goose quill, and had never seen a steel pen, and believes that steel pens had not then been invented.

P., and other Englishmen are on board a Sardinian vessel on a visit to Garibaldi at Salerno. The city of Naples waa perfectly tranquil, and the people conduct themselves in a dig. nified manner. Large quantities of wheat, barley, rye, and rape seed, have recently been brought to Austria by French and English speculators. Another French lino of battle ship, the Alexandria has left London for Naples. The sale of photographs of Garibaldi is prohibited in Vienna. The correspondent of the Daily Xews says Gen.

The new census will probably show tbe number of slaves in the United States to be over 4,000,000. This Is on the computation that the rate of in crease win oe not less man 11 was irom 1840 to 1850. The addition to the numbers within that period was 716,756, the rate of increase nearly 29 per cent ; more precisely 28.80 per cent. At this rate of increase, which is not likely to be less, computations have been made of the future numbers of the slave population within a few years. The figures are, indeed, startling, frrm their magnitude. It is very certain that wituiu the first quarter of the next century it will be at least fifty millions.
