Such sum, freely contri buted by the "poor negroes," shows how badlv the race is used by bad Southerners. THE OTHER SIDE. Any quantity of cards are being publish ed just now by banished gentlemen who left California under the superintendence of a lanre number of their fellow citizens.

A HEROIC WOMAN. A passenger on board the Northern Indi ana, which was recently burned on Lake Erie, gives an account of the narrow escape of Cicero Fowler and wife, of Tully. There was but one life-preserver for Mrs. F. and her husband : he insisted imperatively that she should put it on ; she peremptorily re- fused, saying she was " poor in health, and i - -e .i e - t, . i his hfe was worth far more than her 8 ! - The preserver having no strap, Mrs. r . tore the hern from her dress and fastened it to her husband, who she continued to encour- age, saying she could hold on to him, and , , . . .

The water was thick with human bodies, struggling for life ; she tore her bonnet, already' on fire, from her head, ; au(j hand in hand with one she loved better than herself, took the dangerous leap. Aj they arose from the water, .Air. rowler as- J sisted his wife in procuring a good hold of him on or about the shoulders. She wiped the water from his eyes and mouth, and en- r ?ouraged him to retain his hope of being ' saved. He continued to struggle with the waves. Half an hour elapsed, and there were no signs of assistance. His strength was rapidly failing; his wife observing it, tried to cheer him. He said he could not stand it any longer it seemed as though he must yivc up. At that moment she heard a steamer coming rapidly through the water. She says "my dear husband, a few moments more and we are safe. Don't you hear a boat coming?" lie said ho did, and im mediately revived, and made all the eftoits in his power, and struggled for himself and bis heroic wife until the Mississippi took them, with scores of others, on her commo dious decks. Syracuse Journal. . SINGULAR PRESENTIMENT. Mr. -T. C. Rogers, a young man engaged on this paper as a compositor, came to the office yesterday morning, and told the hands he was unlit for work. Being asked what ailed lum, he said that he dreamed during the night that he saw his mother in her coffin, and the dream was so vivid, and had affected him so deeply, that he could not work. He remained about the office all day, much depressed in spirits, until four o'clock in the afternoon, when he received a telegraphic despatch, announcing to him that his mother was dead. The lady had enjoyed perfect health, to within a few hours of her death, and no communication what ever had been received warning him of her illness. We have examined into these facts carefully, and can vouch for them. The User of August 2. SINGULAR MARRIAGE.

Her little hand was opened as he passed, and he placed, as he supposed, in haste, a Penny therein. She immediately followed him, calling. "Gentle man, gentleman, see what you have given me." The gentleman stopped, and she handed him an eagle, saying she did not think he meant to give her more than a pen ny. He asked why she. did not keep it. She replied, "That would not have been right." He looked at her with astonish ment, and inquired of whom she learned thut. "In the Sunday School," was the re- ply. He then inquired her name, age, and i residence. Her mother, she said, was very poor, and lived in an obscure place. While j he was talking with her, boom fifteen or ' twenty persous were g.imeiru arouuu inem, - t.

Atlas. EXTRACT FROM THE SPEECH OF THE HON. JOHN W CHRISFTELD, OF MARYLAND, An old-line WJiig and distinguished Laicyer D.-livered at Somerset, Md., 17th Jnlv, IS5C. ' Mr. C. said he would briefly assign some of the reasons which had brought him x. , , , ti i to the determination to support Buchanan and Breckinridge. I Ho could not support Mr. Fillmore. He was a supporter of bis administration ; ho bought it one of the purest and best which transpired in his time; and if it could be HW I , 1... .1 Li .

But he had chantred.

If this be so, as few will doubt, it is a sad truth. Its dis covery crimson'd his cheek with shame. In allowing himself to be placed in this po sition, Mr. Fillmore has been unjust to him self, and reckless of his own lame. But this is not fill he has unwhigged himself he has become a member of an organiza tion which boasts of having risen on the ruins, and in spite of thc opposition, of tho Whig party, and proclaims in its well-considered confession of faith, that it is not re sponsible for tho obnoxious errors and vio lated pledges (f that party. He consorts with Andrew Jackson Donelson, the defa mer of his administration and the reviler of the Whig party 4-a Democrat of the stamp most odious to Whigs and he now demands of us, as Whigs, our support to this extra ordinary and ancnialous association. At this moment he is carrying the banner of those who conspired for the destruction of the Whig party. With these facts before him, he could not recognize Mr. Fillmore tis a Whig he had disrobed himself of that title he is an alien from the fold, and had not tx shadow of a claim, based on old par ty associations, to the support of the few who still remain constant to thc ancient faith. But if we were willing, in consideration of his services, to overlook these serious objections to Mr. Fillmore, he could not support him without ulso supporting Mr. Donelson. The two are indissolubly blend ed ; and he would not vote for Mr. Donel son. He had not a single qualification to recommend him for the high place for which he is nominated ; and to old Whigs, he is, perhaps, the most objectionable man who could he named. 1-or his own part, he was , not willing to vote lor any man for V ice Fresident whom he would be unwilling to trust as President. lie had not forgotten the blasted fruits of the Whig triumph of 1349. Who would be willing to see Mr. Donelson President ? No one, he would say; and yet, if the Fillmore ticket pre vails, he may, and probably will be. Twice have the Whigs carried the Presidential election, and on both occasions hardly had the shout of triumph ceased to re-echo be fore they were called upon to mourn the death of their President. What right have we to calculate upon exemption from a like calamity in the next Presidential term ? What guarantee have we that Mr. Fillmore will not also be taken ? and if he should he. who is not appalled at the idea of the duties I the anti-democratic pre.-s of those States of that high station devolving on Mr. Don- I the sa ne niaj be said.

Then it every State legislature north of Mason and is equally certain that be canuot bo elected Dixon's line; they have a majority in the by the House.

They have. thau abolition and freesoil measures should fail, he would "let the Union slide."

It' ! his supporters are strong enough to elect him, they are also strong enough to Con- dizcm,Mlt nnd southern humiliation : and in spite of the constitution, they will assume the power of Congress to legislate over i slavery in the Territories of the United States: they mil exclude the bouth from Its iust rights in the national domain, abolish Sry in the District of Columbia, repeal j the fugitivo-tdave bill, and refuse to admit j new States into the Union unless they re- I pndiate slavery.

Where is hi; to get the votes 1 He is the nominee of the A merican party, which, if it was ever a na tional party, has long since ceased to be so by tho defection of its own members. A large portion of the members from the free States, of the convention which nominated bun, at that time seceded and went over to the republicans; and from that time to this the work of secession has been going on, until now it may be truthfully affirmed that the American party, distinct from, and un connected with, the republicans, has ceased to exist in those States. True, individual members remain linn; but, as a party, ca pable anywhere in those States, unless it be in the city of New York, of effecting any thing, it does not exist. Nor can Mr. Fiilmore expect any impor tant aid in those States from other parties. flie whig party there, for the most part, lost itself in Americanism, and as part of A , , the American party, has gone over to the republican; Except Choate and Winthrop ...,,i I...UI.. i.'. f i. !

Even the most active and able supporters of Mr. Fillmore's administration have enlisted in the republican ranks. Dayton, of New Jersey, is the republican candidate for Vice President ; Collamer, of Vermont, is the chosen advocate of repub licanism in the United States Senate, and Corwin, of Ohio, his Secretary of the Treas ury, is stumping Indiana for Fremont ; and the same may be said of many others of like stamp. In the free States nearly every whig of national reputation may now be found among the republicans. The legis latures of those States are cither republican or democratic not Fillmore Americans ; iu the House of Representatives there are scarcely enough members from the free States who favor Mr. Fillmore's election to fill the cabinet appointments, even if they were of the right material; and if there is one member from those States in the Sen ate of the United States who favors his election Mr. C. could not name him.

But the contest is not between them; and his being in the field, at least iu the south ern States, can bo productive of mischief only. While the free-noil interests aro all combined and combining, the South pre sents a divided front; defeat and humilia tion nre the certain consequences of these acts, if persevered in. Tho real contest is between Mr. Buchanan and Fremont; one or the other of these must succeed ; and, as between them, he held it to he tha duty of every Union-loving man of every nian who cherished the honor of tho South, and desired her to be preserved in the en joyment of her constitutional riphts mid authority to give the former a cheeiful and unreserved support. A WORD TO FRETFUL WIVES There you are, with your mouth pncker ered up again! Vhat's the matter, aro your friends all dead ? No well, have you lost every cent you over owned ? no aro your children sick ? Is your husband cross? Have you got the tooth ache? Neither of these? and still us cross as a young bear! We wonder how your family can endure , your presence ! These young heart's, whose sun you ought to bo how you chill them with your frowns and pcttishnoss! No wonder they long to get out of the house. Aud now you hnve struck your littlo child because bo wouldn't stop teasing. Friend! thnt blow fell on his soul and left an indel lible scar there. Ho will feel it long after you have forgotten it. Many years from now, when your head has laid down iu tho grave, that blow, given without cause impatient ly, angrily, will do its work. Why can't you be good natured ? Were you ever so? Memory points to the days of your girlhood seldom the lines of nngsr disfigured your brow then. Aud thn'mnu who won your love, thought what a happy home she will make for me! How sweet it will be to sit down by her Bide after the cares i - , , TI , , . i of the day are over ! How beautiful to read i f I -0" her pleasure to be repaid by smiles and kisses. And the home was ready and the bride established but she proved unworthy of the trust reposed in her. Instead of meeting care with a hearty laugh, and a "get behind me satan," you worried and fretted and began to tell every little trouble to your husband. It was not womanly ; it betra3-ed weakness both of heart and mind. Imperceptibly its influence crept into his spirit, chilling it with a worse chill than that of death, till it made a shroud of iron for the disappointed heart, and the charm of love and family and home was gone. " Was once " How often those words drop from your line. "I was handsome once ; I was this that and the other, onco" and why not now? You yourself have willed your own destiny; you have chosen the scold's office; you must receive tha scold's deserts. A little philosophy, a few words breathed to heaven for patience, a resolute hope for to-tnorrow it to-day be stormy; a great deal less selfishness; a de sire to make homo a sanctuary for yourself and little ones as well as your husband; and no day you have been happier, handsomer and more beloved. Fretting sister in light affliction, let ni ask you a few plain questions. Does a spirit of fault finding lighten your cares? If your bread is burned to a cinder, does it bring you a good, light, sweet loaf, to sit down and worry about it? If tho baby is cross, does it make him smile like an angel to shake him almost out of existence? If it rains on washing day, will your anathemas hurry out the sun till ho stops right over your clothes line ? But, if your quick hands turn to the flour barrel, to mould another loaf; if you soothe the weeping babe with tho sweet words of a mother's pitying love, if you devote your washing day to some ap portioned work, how smoothly care will iron down his features, and become your humble slave instead of the tyrannical master he would be! It is not too Into yet. Surprise your hus band with a smile; it will be worth a dollar to seo his glance of astonishment ; hold tho salted water of thoughtfulness in yonr mouth, that you may say nothing unpleas ant; and the angel that has been lying pros trate in his heart with folded wings, will begin to flutter, and lift itself heavenward and look out of its eyes with the love of the olden time, and your home will be the par adise you once coveted.
