She has in the Treas ury about $17,000, but she owes to her school fund, tc which she had recourse in an hour of distress, and which fund, having "something over? loaned her 33,000. Simple souls! We pity tfce feelings of her authorities when tbey had to go out on the streets to borrow. The School Funds which is under the management of a beard of Commission, consisting of one man, amounts to 82,077,441 19. Last year it divided aaong the districts of the State, 8126,126 80 or 81,23 to each child taught in the Schools, of which theie are 67,512. There is something of a profitable lesson taught in the history of this school fund. The lands of the Connecticut Reserve in Ohio, or a part of them were at an early day appropriated to this fund, and left to the management of the legislature. The friends of the School system found it wasting away under thjs management and succeeded in getting it taken put of such incompetent hands, and placed in charge of a board of thru commissioners. The change proved not to be a fortunate one, as the fund seemed yearly to be growing with its area of land, beautifully less. They then determined to place it under the charge of one man with a competent salary. This functionary on taking possession found the whole fund to consist of but a fraction over 8100,000. Under bis superintendence and care it has xeachecj jts present amount annually dividing an amount greater than its original capital, when he took it in charge. It has ever since continued under the same system of a sols board. (O0ur friend A. C.

Reduction or the Armt. It seems proba ble now that the officers cf the army who re signed their commissions in the old army in order to fill higher posts in the new ten regi ments, as well as others who received genera appointments therein, are likely tobe relieved of the dilemma of having to return to private life. The House of Representatives on the 4th instant, as before noted in the Congress pro ceedlngs, passed a bill to repeal the law of last year, which provided, that the number of offi cers should be reduced at the close of the war 4 ...to the same as it was before the passage of the act. . It will also probably go through thcSen- -' ate. . . . Murder of Lieut. Gouoh. The Jalaps Watch Tower states that Lieut. Cough, of the Second Pennsylvania Regiment of Volunteers, while on duty in Perote as Assistant Quarter master, had a slight difficulty with. Ca pt. Fos kr, of the . Georgia Battalion. Br the inter fere nee of mutual friends, the guarrel was apparent!. arranged, and the parties passed an .-evening together in seeming friendship but ! subsequently they met again in the streets of ,lrote,and Capt.

Captain Foster has been removed to em" rueDla lor trial. fOJt is stated in the Cincinnati Times that during the past year upwards of 300,000 barrels Of whiskey have passed through, the hands (5f dralers in that county, mostly in Cincinnati.

Hydrophobia. This horrible disease is on the increase all over the country. It was only, last week we heard of a mad dog running through our streets, and we may expect them to multiply as the dog-days appioach. The Philadelphia papers speak of their appearance in that section in numbers. The North American says: Our table is full of communications and letters on the subject of this disease, which seems to be alarmingly on the increase among the dogs of the county and the surrounding coun try, entailing, of course, fresh terror, and consequences worse than tenor, upon the community. A letter from Allenlown informs us that a lady, the mother of several children, was bitten in that place, on Friday afternoon, by a Uogundoubiely mad. , A communication, which is, however, without a signature slates that a lady was attacked the other day, in. Front St., uear Cbesnut, and her life only saved by the courage of a young Irishman, who; seized the rabid animal by the throat and dashed his brains out agaiust the pavement. A rumor has been brought to our office, that a mad dog bit several persons yesterday afternoon in Franklin Square; and yesterday afternoon, also, a gentleman hap called' to inform us, a mad dog was killed on the Ridge Road above Green street, after biting several other dogs and giving a little milk-girl a very narrow escape- 'Other cases are mentioned, as having occurred, in different parts of the city and Liberties within the last few days. Tiie excitement produced by this state of things is becoming very great; and the danger and the fears of the community call alike upon the public authorities for the most active and summary exertions of all their powers to bring this deadly evil to its speediest end.

Tu eFclfiim ext. The extraordinary changes now going on in the Old World, where, to use the figure of the London Times, "the States of Europe are so many ninepins, and Democracy is bowling at them," calls to mind the strong language which Luther addressed to the Princes of bis time: 'Your tyranny and insolence can no longer be endured.' God will not endure it. The People cannot be hunted and driven like game as iu the world's infancy. The People shall become enlightened, and princely scourges shall fall before the People!" The fullness of time has come. Far more than Luther dreamed of or desired, is taking place in his own beloved Fatherland. The princely scourges are everywhere falling; everywhere the People are sovereign. Awake, glorious FreedomP was the response of Ul rich Von Hutten Jo the stirring appeal of Luther. "By God's blessing we will assert our common liberties." The voice of that 6tout knight of the Reformatio!, who demanded civil as well as religious freedom, sounding through the centuries, stirs the heart of Europe. The thought which struggled dimly in the minds of the German peasantry, in the time of Luther, that the freemen of Christ should not be the slaves of men, that without personal ihere could be no religious liberty, that CbrUtianity is designed to bless this life as well as that to come, is the predominant idea of the present time.. The Pope is grouting Constitutions; the Austrian depot is supplicating the forbearance of his subjects; and the "divine right of Kings" is an exploded idea, consigned to the limbo of Milton's Paradise of Fools. Presidential Election A Bust Dat. The day on which the next presidential elec tion will take place, the 7lh of November, will be a busy one. Two millions of votes over the country record their suffrage lor a national ru ler, and as the telegraph communications will extend by that time over nearly the whole country, enough returns of the election may be known and telegraphed by the next morniug to indicate with tolerable certainty whom the nation has chosen. C3"General Taylor under date of May 1st, has written to Brantz Mayer, Esq., of Baltimore, acknowleJging the nomination of the "Independent meeting," held at the Exchange of that city. The General approves the reso lutions of that meeting, and says if elected President he will be a constitutional chief ma gistrate. Louis Phillipfe. The London .Times in commenting upon the settlements of a French journal concerning the private fortune of Louis rhillipps, says. "We believe that the reports of the Count de Neuilly's (Louis Pbillippe) investments here, are entirely fictious. lie lives at Clare mont, in a state of almost penury, denying himself even those small luxuries which had become all but necessaries from long use to a man of his time of life; even with the mot neid economy, however.it is said that his 111 come is still insufficient for his maintainance, and that in a year or two. if he survives so long, he will be completely destitute. It can, how ever, scarcely be the intention of the trench Government to sequestrate the private proper ty not only of the ex-King, but of his whole family. The dowers of his sons wives are said to be almost entirely inverted either in French funds, or in land in trance, and what ever claim the nation raav have upon the Rot ul estates, it can by no process that we are aware ot, be extended to property thusacquir ed." frrnThere is living in Moscow, Russia, a venerable ladr who is only 1C8 years of age. She has had five husbands, and the gay old belle married the last one m her 121st year. A Spanish contemporary very appropriately ap plies to her the familiar Spanish salutation of "Does conserve su vida mil anos," God pre serve her life a thousand years. fr"r-New potatoes, so youjg that they hav'ut their eyes open, have made their appear ance in Cincinnati. The French Steamships. The late advices from France, state that the Provisional Gov ernment has abolished the line of trans-Atlan tic steamers to New York, and placed the ves-

eels Composing the line in ordinary.

New Eholasd axd the Pkesioe.nct. The Boston Standard, which supports Gen. Taylor, says: . t The Whigs, if they want to save themselves from utter and everlastiqg destruction, will give lhvoteofth Philadelphia Convention, to "old Zack" with some favorite partizan, (Abbot Lawrence) for Vice President. ' Mr. Clay s edict which is going the rounds of the press, has put the final extinguisher upon the hopes of his friends, and the ayes of politicians are now concentrating, like the hearts of people, upon the hero of Buena Vista, whose election we regard as a mora! certainty. The Boston Herald says: As it is impossible that the North can ever again give a President to the Union, unless a Northerner only in name, we prefer Gen. Taylor to all other candidates; not that there may not be other men as well qualified, or better, but because much good and no evil is known of him which cannot be truly said of any of the rest. We believe him as honest as capable and as capable as honest, and we wish that we could say as much of any available candidate. Oil of Mist. We,' learn from a letter from Mr. Colfax, of the South Bend Register, that there is a very heavy and profitable business, carried on in the northern part of our State. H- says: . "In the vicinity of Coustantine we saw the; large fields so recently filled with Mint plants, and out of which their proprietors have made' such handsome profits. There were in all about 6,000 acres planted with it in a single township, which produced about 20 lbs. to the acre. Every farmer who bad a consideiable amount of it, had a small still or press on his farm for the purpose of pressing the oil from the leaves. All who were concerned in it, 1 understand, have made money by raising it, as after setting out the plants they need but little attention except thinning them out as they increased; many indeed have made 830 per acre aiinually by their mint crops.'

Some few months since, one of the Branches of the State Bank of Indiana declined discounting business paper the ostensible and legitimate business of banks because she wanted to speculate in exchange. The President 'was despatched to New Orleans for this purjose, and invested some twenty thousand dollars in the paper of J. S. Lake tk Co. the firm which failed and broke the Wooster Bank and has, of course, lost it all. We suppose the New Orleans brokers and bankers were a little sharper than our Hoosier President, and rather did him. A few more such left haiuled speculations will make it necessary to have a new Directory in that Branch. It may be iroperto state that the Branch alluded to is not the one in this city.Afaiisonuouricr. Well, which Branch was it who knows? As Extraordisrt Fact. The following fact speaks volumes as to the prospects of England and the United States. At the dedication of the Hancock School. in Boston, Mr. Mann stated as an interesting fact, that for the last ten years theexpenditures of the city of Boston for school-boys were equal 10 tne wnoie expenditures for schools in Enc1 11 . lanu, oy tne uovernment, lor 17,000,000 of people. They had kept peace with each oth cr from year to year. OdsTThe N. O. Commercial Times says, "there are a great many Mexican curiosities now on exhibition at 0D St. Charles street. Among them is a saddle, captured from Santa Anna at Puebla, valued at 86000. It is a mag nificent article, heavily ornamented with gold, and studded with brilliants. COThe following communication is from a prominent and influential Democrat. It de tails the interview between Colonel Johnson and Mr. Powell, and will be read with inter. es: for the Louisville Courier.) Meeting of Col. It. JI, Johnson and L W. Powell. We learn that Col. Johnson has visited the counties of Madison, Garrard, Lincoln, Casey, Adair, Cumberland, Russell, Pulaski, Boyle and Jessamine; that with his accustomed energy and frankness of manner, he mixed freely with the great body of the people, meeting with a cordial welcome, and a very general approval of the course he has, and will pursue. The people love him because he has loved and served them. The heart of the great Democratic party, yearn towards him, as their beau-ideal of a true and faithful public servant His presence lit into a flame the undying embers of their gratitude and love. Individual instances there were, supporting Mr, J. W. Powell, as the nominee of the committee, but even with those it is a common opinion that Colonel J. W. Johnson is by far the strongest man. It is well known to all, that in no event will Col. Johnson under present existing circumstances, decline the canvass. But with a sincere desire of healinz the breach in the Dem ocratic party, he changed his course in his jecent tour, to meet Mr. Powell, and to settle the difficult v amicably. They, met in Cumber and county at Burksville. Their meeting ji . 1 . ... nasenurciy irienaiy.ana 11 was proposed oy that noble Democrat, Dr. Garther, of Adair county, (formerly congressman !romrthat dis trict,) who accompanied Col. Johnson to Mr. Powell, that he should run for the office of Lieutenaut Governor with Col. Johnsou. Mr Powell declined the proposition, savins that had the convention offered him the second place under Uoi. Jonnson, r.e would willingly have accepted, but having accepted the first, he did not now feel tumselt at liberty to decline. Col. Johnson then proposed; through Dr Uaither, that both should resign, and that Col Boyd and George W. Johnson, the nominees 01 mc convention, snouiu oe requesieu again to run the race. This proposition was predicated upon a letter received by Dr. Garther; from Col. Boyd, informing him that he would have accepted the nomination, if he had anticipated tne ditLculty tnat now existed, and upon G. VV. Johnson's letter, declining his nomination, because Col. Boyd bad declined. . this pro do sition Mr. Powell also refused, saying that he would abide the decision of his friends, and the democracy of the country. Thus ended the interview, The charge has been made against Colonel Johnson, that he was a disorganizer, but to those acquainted with the facts it is known to be false. On the Louisville central committee rests the resDcnsibilitr of the continuance of thosA difficulties that blast onr hopes and des troy oar prospect- " A DEMOCRAT.' ' : . - . .

N. of Arkansas. This popular writer, a

favorite correspondent of the N. Y. Spirit of the Times, has become the editor of the Batesville Eagle. The following is a specimen of his talk with his readers: A fellow being asked if he could speak French answered that he didnot exactly know, but he had a brother who played Irish notes on German flute! We have never before been an editor out and out, though we have done some service in that line, syb rosa, heqce if in the outset, and before we fairly get intb the swing of the thing, we drop a stitch now and then, we ask it to be overlooked. We claim the privilege that Tyree Mussett did. Tyree was once coming down the Arkansas in dug-out, in com panv with several '.adies and gentlemeu. He rattled away as usual; at length, by wa)' of an apology, he observed that he must give vent to his feelings, or he would clasp a flue! His good sense told him by the tittering going on, lhat he had said something wrong. Quick as thought he spoke out: "Ladies and gentlemen, I may not use ht precise language; but I am a mortal man Jo convey an idea!" Qricin of Abuses. A Paris journal tells the following capital story in illustration of the manner in which abuses grow up in governments: Some twenty year since, a staff officer in the French Army was appointed to the command of a fortress in Alsace. He began by making himself acquainted with all the details of the service to which he was called. In one of his inspections he found a soldier standing as sentinel by a worm-eaten stockade lying in fragments, which, for no purpose that could be assigned, crossed a court, and divided it into two parts. The commandant inquired of the Major concerniug the necessity of a sentinel in this place, aud was answered that he was standing there in conformity with long usage; that the previous commanders of the placehad always found a sentinel at that post, and had kept one there. The reason was not received as satisfactory, and an investigation was ordered; old records were searched, old files qf papers and day books examined; and at length it was discovered that thirty-five yea rs before, the stockade, which at that time had its use, was repaired and painted. The sentinel was stationed by it to prevent any person from touching the fresh paint. Since that time it is estimated by the French print that in thirty-five years, iixty-fire thousand men had taken their turns in keepiug watch over the fresh paint.

Fcsishmext of Mr. Tuist. Mr. Polk is re volving in his own mind, it is said, with what kind of punishment he shall visit Mr. Trist on his return from his mission. He at first doubted whether to punish or reward him. He doubts no longer. Trist's testimony in the Court of Inquiry the President considers a personal insult. It is certain Trist used him with ungloved hands But how to punish the man and adopt his sue cessful negotiation? However much Trist's conduct may have wounded the amour prope of the President, has it done any injury to the country? "Ha, there's the rub." The old unwritten Jaw of the Castilian Monarchy permitted no subject to express a doubt of the word once passed by King or Queen. Now as Gen. Cass, and the locofocos after him give the President jurisdiction in Mexico no less ample than such as before enjoyed by King or Emperor, why cannot he punish Trist, who has been guilty of more than expressed doubt of the Royal word, according to his will and pleasure? " If he can eject bim forcibly from Mexico, as he claims he can and does, why cannot he incarcerate an I flagellate him there? Any how, his Excellency is p-'rplexed, and meditates ftrange things. tl0h Tristidamniti loco," says Luca 11 in his "Pharsalia," which is freely translated by the Polk commentator here "Oh Trist, you Loco, xV.

A correspondent of the National Era says. he translated the following article from the Magazin Uiiiversel, published in Paiis. As the scene of the story is placed in Washing too, it would not be difacull to ascertain whether itbedactor fiction: 1 am about to recount u story, which, like many others ot the same kind, Mr. Thomas a missionary, has lately told in a public meetlug held ou the subject of slavery. A young physician, of much merit and knowledge, made a journey from his. native town in one of the Northern slates to a town in the Mississippi. This young mau whose name was Wallis, took lodgings in a furnished house. The mistiess of it, a young woman about twenty yeari old, inspired iu Una the must ardent love.' Although the Color 01 the young woman was not the purest white the doctor, havjng no prejudice against the c.iloied race,ofi'eied her his hand, which was accepted. The marriage took place almost secretly, and the heppy couple wem soon afterwards to establish themselves iu Washington, in the District of Columbia. They had not been ihete long, where they lived peaceably and retired, when oue mom ing au individual, who had all the manueis aud appearance ot a gentleman, presented himsell at Dr. Wallis's, under pretence of business. The couveisation proceeded, when the stranger addressed the following indiscreet quetlioii to ;he duelot?" Did you notbiing a woman with you from tho South sir?'1 "No, sir; I don't understand you." How l1 rejoined tho stranger; "did not your wife come with you from Mississippi V1 vl believe she was botn in that country,'" said ihe doctor. vWell your wife, as you call her, is my slave; and unless you pay me immediately nine hundrod dollars for her purchase, I will lo-morrow advertise her as a runaway slave. In fact, she is worth a thousiiid dollais at leasi but, as y u. have married her, 1 will abate something." "Your slave P exclaimed the astonished doctor, "1 hat is imposoible." 'Whether you believe me or not," cried the other, you must give her up ur pay ihe money. If in tweniy-four hours ihe money is not sent to my hotel, I promise you, my dearsir, that you will see ihe name of Mis. Wallis in the newspapers, as that ofa fugitive slave." As soon as the man was gone, the doctor went to his wife, wlmi3 good qualities, virtues and graces, rendered her go dear to him. "My dear Angel," said, he hen we were mairied, were you a slave?" "Yes, I was1 she confessed, at the same time sheddiu" abundant tears. Why did not you tell me before the cere mony was performed? "1 did not dare do it. ; Could I have expected you would have allied yourself to a Slaver "Well, now I know it, I will give ihe nine hundred dollars required, for I love you too rnuch to consent to a separation. During this s il dialogue. Airs. a 11 is was laboring under the rnot lively agitation.

Hall's book on Ireland, occurs the following passage, which a person will hard ly re.id without emotion: We ente ed one day a cottage in the suburbs of Cork; a young worn m was kniiiing stockings at the door.

So I felt there was no fear for him, and the ninth week when he came home to me, I hid this (able aud these six chairs, one for myself, four for ihe children, and one for him; and I was dressed in a new gown, and the children ell had new cloil.es and fhoep and stockings, snd upon his chair I put bran-new suit, and upon his plate the bill and leceipt for them all, just the eight sixteen shillings, ihe cost thai I'd saved out of ht wiges, not knowing what might happen, ani that alwajs went for drink.
