A woman says what she chooses wiihout beini knocked down for it. She can take a snooze al'icr dinner, while her husband goes to work. She can go into the slroet without being asked lo tre.n at every saloon. She can paint her face if it is too pale, and powder it if it is too red. She can stay at homo in lime of war, and get married again if her hausband is kilh-d, She can wear corsets if too thick other fixing" if too thin. She can eat, drink, and be merry, without costing her a cent. She can get divorced from her husband whenever she ees one she likes better. She can get her husband in debt all over, until he wans thy public, by ad vortiscments, not to trust her on his account. We see by the Goshen Democrat that I. B.

They inquired of 111111 wbere a .Mr. w likerson lived. As soon as the door was opened, some six or seven men, armed with pistols and large knives, entered the housemaid they were from the army; that Mr. Doyle and three sons must surrender.

It divided the great Methodist Episcopal chure.h. ii. It has divided the New School Presbyterian church. 3. It induced tlio American board of Mission to abandon one of its missions among tho Indians of our country. d. It tilled Kansas with blood and car-' nnge. It led to tho horrible scenes at Ilarper s i erry G. It has carried on for years an organized system of freebooting upon the Southern States. 7. It has stolen the nero from his I comfortable home, to leave him in the midst jof poverty and crime. b" It Ins lnniehid a deep wound upon our nobhs Medical Schools. 9. It is laboring to divide this maiznifioent Union. 10. It is at this hour staying the wheels of ths general government to the untold injury of the nation. II. It is waring upon the interests of our merchants and business men, to the amount of millions ot money. 12. It has alienated the hearts of our rountrymen, the cue from the other, to a tearful extent. 13 It has made the press of our Northern and Western States to groan with the most infamous falsehoods against the South. 14. It has desecrated multitudes of our pulpits, and influenced many of tho professional ministers ot the gospel to become beligerents instead of men of peace. But time would fail us to tell half the mischief it has done aud is doing, and will continue to do, if the Republican party should get into power, for then what appaling sights of human butchery must follow!

On Saturday a young lady entered one of our Music Stores, for the purpose of purchasing a pieco of music entitled, "When I sleep, 1 dream of thee;" but by one of thoso ludicrous "mistakes which will sometimes happen in the best ol families," she astonished the young gentleman of tho store by enquiring if lie had tho musio entitled, "When I dream I sleep with thee ! " The mistake brought a modest blush to the cheek of tho fair enquirer ditto to the young gentleman. Sad Bereavement. Lieut.

eon eis: sp o.VjK.vc;. Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 29th, 1CUO. Dear Democrat: I hardly know what towiito to you. The truth is I am in no writing mood, but I do it because I am tired of doing everything else. The weather is as warm as summer; windows up, fireg out, aud winter clothing too warm. It is getting up a good thuuder shower and will probably clear off as cold as Greenland. Last week the icicles were hanging along the banks of the Alabama river as large as your leg (not very large to bo sure, but quite enough so). The extremes here are quite as great and quite as sudden as with you, although higher up in the scale: for instance: It will rano-e 'from 70 to-day, down to below freezing to-morrow, and then get up to 50 c by the ,u,xt This is a nice place. It is on a fine bluff, is well built, looks new, clean, orderly, busy, and beautiful. It stands in a basin as to three sides and on the fourth is ' i i .i i r .v, i.i. .rr m.. ; i''ci io me cuee ui um uiuix. l tie river is narrow, but deep. Steamboats are numerous, .always racing, and just now arjj getting fare down from SlO to 2,50 from they will blow up somo boat with 200 people and then get regular again for a while. The capitol stands at the head of Market street on a high plateau, is a large fiue looking building, and the. view from it is a tine one, commanding the whole town and about 40 miles of adjacent country. Tho Legislature has adjourned for the holidays, the members are mostly at home; but travel is brisk and the hotels full. There ate many beautiful private residences hero, and the rounded knolls and handsome elopes make lovely building spots all over and around the town. should think the population would eqaal some 15,000 or more.

It was a cheerful, pleasant rooai, clean and neat, with boarding rooms back. Tho merchant or more properly, commission merchant, for most of them are sent there to be sold and are sold on commission was a Carolinian, young, genteel, clever, and familiar with all the niggers and they with him. It is holidays for all tho negroes, and none work unlhired and paid extra wages. Many of' the darkeys coming along the street stopped and spoke, or shook hands, laughed and joked with tbe salesman, asked Christmas gifts, &c, as familiar as friends, and ho seemed to know everybody. Thoso in the house were of ail sizes and colors, and every ono well dressed some genteely, and many had watches, chains, rings, pins, fco., and nearly every one of the men a shining stove-pipe hat. A happier set of mortals I never saw. Tho buyer was asking questions to test their knowledge. He asked, "What year is this?" A leather-colored "gemmen" responded correctly. "How old are you?" "28." "Where wero you born?" "Dunno. Sah." "Where did you get that watch, steal it?" "No, Sah." "Trade for it?" "No, Sah." "Where, then?" "A boy pawned it to me for 82,50, and never came for it." "What number is on it?" (Looking) "Can't read it. Sah, it's not plain." And so on for a bundled questions, as to intelligence, labor, tfce. Tho balance all stood and grinned and laughed, for onee in a while a quizzing question was asked and r. sharp or witty answer given. He was evidently a sharper boy than common, an ! had worked principally on steamboats and at hotels, and as baggage porter about rail-roads. He went out for personal examination as to soundness, and tho balance of them sat down. (His price was 1,050.) The girls wero making and dressing dolls, making pin cushions, fcc ; some had nice dolls and they sat them out in a row on the floor. One sprightly girl about twelve or fourteen, had a doll that wouldn't stand up. Sho laid it down, and took a switch to it, and tried it again. All laughed heaitily. and they cut all sorts of capers, and mada all sorts of fun, and joked with tho salesman. They bad a fiddle and "music and dancing" when not wanted for examination. All were cheerful, contented, smiling, neat and certainly happy. One smart girl of fourteen had lost her mistress. Sho had been bought by the old Udj'd son-in-law to wait on his mother, and having no further use for her, he dent her to be Bold. Her price was $1,150. She was th image of neatness, shrewdness and mi.ehief. The cases ot ill treatment of slaves are rare; once in a while you find a brute, and he shows it to his flares, his stock atid

and his family. I send you ä paper containing an application of a free negro to the legislature for leave to enter into Tolunta ry slavery. It is not very uncommon. You will see from the same paper that Senator Douglas is not popular ia tbe South, if it is right. He has many fnendi here, but he cannot carry much Southern force into tho Charleston Convention. You will see that the State Convention here has repudiated him entirely, and that hi3 friends here aro trying to get up another convention. I think it will not Succeed. His "unfriendly legislation" doctrine has slayed him in most of the Southern States, There is a good deal more feeling against the North through Alabama than I have found elsewhere. They y, however, that if the North will let ths States alone and leave Ccngress to ct within the true constitutional limits it is all they ask. Tho territories are common property and must remain go until they become States, and the question of sUrery must be let alone there until the people of the States dispose of it. That Congreii hall not and can not interfere with it, nor shr.ll the decision of the Supreme Court be overruled or interfered with. That they nant and will have their constitutional lights, and they ask noore and will take no less. That they do not want dissolution or secession or non-intercourse; but if driven to a choice of this or surrender of their constitutional rights in the State's territories, they shall take the power, no matter at what cost. I tttil them that they and the Unionilti of the North ought to say, write, speak, print, re-iterate and maintain that "there shall be no disunion, secession or non-intercourse. We neither can or will hare it. If you fools that are dissatisfied with your government can change is by fair and J j lawful means, do so; if not, leave it; and ; it you will do neither the one or tho oth er, and pertist in talking about the dissolution of lhe Union, destruction of constitutional boundaries and invasion of constitutional rights, we will make you keep quiet. You shall either go away, keep still, or wa will hang every mothrf son of you; you shall not talk or act in & manner calculated to lead to dissolution, nor will wc listen to or tolerate any such thing. This Union is too valuable to the whole world its pa; ts are too necessary to our own protection and prosperity, jointly and severally; and too much of ercrything liberty, wealth, happi ness. sociaty all, all that makes life worth having is at stake, to tolrato its serious contemplation for one moment. Vou may talk and write, but cur statute shall put euch penalties on you, and public opinion shall so weigh down on you that you had better die a thousand times than breathe a word of disuniot or secession. Xo man shall buy, trade or sell with you. You shall not" be witntss or juror. You shall have no credit. You shall be a butt, a scorn, a hissing and a by-word in the mouth of every honest man. Public opinion that loves this government and its freedom, shall say this and do it; so beware!" It is my opinion that there would be little of disunion or secession preached; and the Beechors, JStowes, Bourcicaults, Wades, Lincolns and Se wards would have to find more useful theme for their talents to spend themselves upon than the dissolution of this beautiful and sublime union of States. Nobody but a hound, unworthy of everything except the bed and board of a hog-stye or the lash of a a driver would ever utier the wish much less urge on its consummation. But I have said enough for this time. I find thi3 theme is the most fruitful one now-a days, and you hardly ever get clear of it. I think if I write you again I will l6ave it out. I don't remember what I wrote you last or where. When one is amongst familiar scenes time passsea rapidly; but when among strange ones it passes slowly. It seems at least a month since I wrote you last, and what I have said I have new no recollection. I have traveled many miles and seen hundreds of new things and seen thousands cf new faces andj talked of many matter, and henco tho time seeras lonT. It rains "good and strong" and i too warm for comfort. It is quito relaxing and I will leave you for a cool drink and a little turn in tho hall.
