{ST*A correspondent of the Washington Union, referring to letters recently received from Europe, says

Throughout the length and breadth of France, the press, closely muzzled on all other subjects, is allowed to abuse England and the English, and the consequence a popular forgctfulness of domestic wrongs and grievances, and a desire to have a brush with the "goddanis" the "sacre bifteks," which, in the vernacular, mean the English. It is true that the Emperor and his government arc taking pains to assure the British Queen and her ministers of the very distinguished consideration which he and they feel for her Majesty and her constitutional advisers but consentaneously with these assurances of regard and affection for pcrfide Albion, his Majesty is constructing coast defences and building ships-of war on a gigantic scale and to an army already larger than has ever existed since he commenced to reign, he has ordered a sudden addition of 48,000 men, the remainder of the conscription of 1856. With regard to domestic dangers, if 500,000 soldiers cannot guard him and keep down the "insurgents," to whatever party they belong—legitimist or red republicans, 550,000 will hardly be able to do so more effectually. Therefore it cannot be supposed that it is for "home consumption" that 48,000 boys are dragged from their homes, to follow the drum and fife, and shoulder a musket. At all events, men-of-war cannot be wanted to keep the Lyonese or Parisians in order.

®a?~The Richmond Enquirer in referring to the disunion views of the Charleston Mercury, thus happily gives its advice to its grumbling Southern cotemporary. "The editorials of the Mcrcury should change their 'sombre' character it lias looked so long upon the dark side of the picture of Southern affairs that none but sad and lugubrious descriptions are ever iven by our Charleston' cotemporary of

Southern enterprise and Southern happiness. Let him reverse the picture for awhile let him go out among a happy and contented people, enjoying the thousand blessings showered upon them by the Kind Ruler of human affairs, and a3k them whether, for all the negroes the King of Dahomey could send them, they would destroy our great and glorious Union, the handiwork of the Great Original. A voice of indignant refusal would astonish all advocates of the 'slave-trade' or disunion.— With all this froth and fustian, there is a wide-spread and deep devotion to the American Union, in tho hearts of the people, in every section. This devotion can never be destroyed to foster the 'slavetrade'—a destruction of material rights, a denial of institutional equality, or some over act of sectional tyranny on the part of the Northern people, can alone destroy the devotion to the Union, taught at tho mother's knee, and fostered and encouraged and increased by the experience of eaeh succeeding year to manhood and old age."

The pillory, as a punishment, is still continued in Delaware.

SIPTGUI Alt ADVENTURE BY A CH|L1.

A little girl, only three years old, daughter of John Sshaffcr, who resides at the corncr of St. Paul and Atwater streets, had a singular adventure on Sunday last, which would scarcely be credited if not so well authenticated as to leave no room for doubt. Mr! Mrs. Schaffcr went to church in the morning at the usual hour, and left this child at home with a boy of nine years. About eleven o'clock she told her brother that she was going to see Charlotte, referring to a sister five years old, who died two years ago and soon after she had escaped.from the house, unobserved by the brother. When the parents returned from church the little girl was nowhere to be found. A search was made of the neighborhood, and finally the usual method of ringing a bell and crying for a lost child was resorted to. Toward evening intelligence was received that a child had bean seen at Mt. Hope, answering the description of the one missing. Mr. Schaffcr could hardly suppose that his child had wandered so far from home, but he set out for the ccmetry. At the canal bridge he met Mrs. Dr. Sloetzer with his child, on the way home. Mrs. S. had found it at a house in Mt. Hope, where it had been taken care of, having been found in the ccmetry.

This little girl, only three years old, had walked from near the Falls Field to Mt. Hope and to the extreme southern part of the grounds, where her father has a lot, and where her little sister was buried.— The distance is nearly three miles, and she had not been there often enough to make her at all familiar with the streets leading thither. And afrer reaching the ccmetry, it is surprising that she should have found her way along the winding paths leading to the upper part of the grounds. She must have done all without assistance, and actually found the place where her sister Charlotte sleeps. How long she was going to the spot is not known, nor is it known how long she remained there. It is presumed that she was much fatigued when she arrived, for she laid down upon the grass by the grave and slept. When she awoke she started homeward, and came down to one of ponds in the cemetry to quench her thirst, and there she was noticcd by a man, who took charge of her and detained her until Mrs. Sloetzer came along and recognized her.

The little wanderer was restored to her anxious parents about six o'clock, having been absent from home about seven hours, and most of this time she was alone and mistress of her own actions. Few children of twice her years could be trusted to accomplish such a journey alone. There is something of sublimity—of poetry, in the adventure of this child, which appeals to the finer sentiments of the soul. That one, so young and so tender, should be inspired with a passion to visit a sister's grave, and should resolutely accomplish the mission against such obstacles, is strange, indeed. That same Almighty Power which controls the smallest events as well as those of magnitude, and which implanted in this infant bosom a desire to commune alone with the pure spirit of a sister, guided her safely to that sister's grave, and returned her unharmed to parental care.

This incident, simple perhaps in itself, to the reflecting

Blind

is uggestivc of ma

ny thoughts. If the spirits of the dead hover about, and arc coguizant of the movements of the living, (oh, how happy arc they who firmly believe it,) with what ecstatic delight the spirit of Charlotte beheld her little sister sleeping sweetly upon the grave containing her ashes! What fond parent would not find the death pang made easier and the King of terrors dethroned, in the hour of dissolution, if he could be assured that his darling children and those he held most dear on earth, would singly wander to tho silent cemetry, and sleep upon his grave! Such a thought would strip the tomb of its oblivious character, and make it rather abed for enjoyment of enchanting dreams, than a place of dark, dreary and cold forgetfulncss!

A SORDID WRETCH.

We had yesterday the particulars of a revolting transaction just conic to light in Grcencvillc. Harlan Hyde lost his wife one year ago. She was his third wife, anil had been married only a year wlion she died, and was buried in the Grcencville Cemetery. About one week ago Ilyde went to the comctery, dug open tho grave, broke open the coffin and rifled it of— what docs the reader imagine? Of a set of false teeth, that he might coin the gold plate, upon which the teeth were set, into money to putin his pocket! We dare say the fellow meant to sell the teeth, too, if he could find a purchaser. We wonder not at the intense indignation which blazes against the miserable creature in Grcencville, or that the women of the village can scarcely be restrained from treating him to a coat of tar aud feathers. Hyde is not far from fifty years of age, a house carpenter by trade, in comfortable circumstances, as to property, and, we shame to add, is a member of a Christian church. It is now currently reported and believed in Grcencville, that when his wife died, and while she laid dead in her shroud in the house, her affectionate husband

LANES BANDITTI.

The St. Louis Republican, of Friday, says the Danite band organised by Lanor not content with stealing and murdering in the Territory of Kansas, havo found its boundaries altogether too contracted for their thievish propensities, and they have pushed their adventures into Missouri.— A correspondent of that paper furnishes the following particulars of a foray of this party into that State

On the day subsequent to the engagement between Montgomery's and Hamilton's parties, in which eleven or twelve of the former were killed, Montgomery's party, supposed to number between two hundred and two hundred and fifty men, most of them mounted on horses stolen from citizcns of our state, and armed with Sharp's rifles, Colt's revolvers and sabers, and liaviug with them* several cannon, crosscd the line into Missouri, and proceeded to Wcstpoint, in Bates County, eight or twelve miles from the line between Kansas and this State. In the language of the statement, they "menaced, insulted, and outraged the citizcns of that placc, who were in defenceless condition, in the most shocking and brutal manner." Having thus spent several hours in Wcstpoint, they set out on their return to the Territory. On their way back, they met a citizcu of Bates on the highway, stopped him and robbed him then proceeded to his house, broke open the doors, and seized and carried away

everything

portable they

found of any value. At the time this statement was written, last Saturday, thoy were encamped thrco miles from the State line in Kanzas, recruiting, preparatory, as they avowed, to another invasion of our State.

The citizcus of Bates and Cass Counties, in Missouri, arc intensely excited!, and had1 petitioned the Governor of that State for protection. A Lcavcnwortli correspondent of the Republican gives tho following particulars of the organization of Montgomery's band, and the objects they lave in view.— After stating-tliat they arc pledged to drive out all pro-slavery men, first from Bourbon County and then from the Territory,..tho writer says: ...

These patriotic men are of the militia under Lane. They met and entitled themselves "A Committee of Safety," and at the same meeting passed a series of resolutions ordering certain parties to leavo the Territory within six and ten days, under penalty of early slaughter. These parties were Judge Williams, Dr. Blako Little, J. C. Sims and W. T. Campbell, members elect of tho Legislature under Lccompton H. T. Wilson, G. P. Hamilton and D. F. Greenwood, members of tho Lccompton Constitutional Convention E. Ransom, G. W. Clark, J. II. Little, James Jones, B. McDonald, A. Campbell, Mr. Brockett, Mr. Ilarlan, and such others as aided the military in cnforccing obedience to the laws. Kanaday Williams and D. Sullivan, accused by these noble spirits with having stolen horses belonging to Frce State men, arc sentenced (Lynch fashion) to be whipped, branded and driven out.— Captain Anderson, who was wounded, as I have some time since informed you, wliilo discharging his duty, is decreed to be hung upon the highest tree in Bourboii County. Another resolution was adopted, to the effect that aftor ten days conditioned for tho removal of the Government officers, no others than thoso oleoted under the Leavenworth instrument should be allowed to administer the law.

Not a word of ccnsurc do wc hear from the Black Republican press, or Black Republicans, over these gross outrages, but rather an attempt to palliate and justify them. If these acts of villainy had been committed against Free State men, language would have failed them to express their indignation and horror, but having been committed by them, changes the character of the crime in their estimate of it. llohbery, murder arid arson are crimes when committed by "ISorder Ruffians," but the same acts committed by "Freo .State ruffians" arc merely excusable indiscretions.

One of the jokers says "Women require more sleep than men, and farmers less than those engaged in almost any other occupation. Editors, reporters, printers and telegraph operators need no sleep at all.
