The Hon. Benjamin Elpatrick, formerly President protem.. of the Uniteon States Senate is a, candidate to represent Autauga county in the Ala bama State Convention. 1 The Nevv Orleans Picayune states that in Har ris County, Texas, Gov. Hamjlton has appointed nearly as many Confederates as Union "men to of fice. He has named Hon. T. H. Bell as his Secre tary -ofrState. Major Gen. Terry tehas returned to Rhmond suffering from the effects of a sun stroke received while reviewing-the troops at Petersburg. The Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist says that a party is gpringing into existence' favoring a gen eral repudiation of all private indebtedness. That paper denounces repudiation as unwise, dishonest and unconstitutional. Several c mcfidateg for the Contention favor repudiation. s Colonel Charles Forsyth, late of therebef ar my, and a son of the Mayor of Mobile, subbed one of General Maury's Staff at Mobile on the 80th ult. The use of the knife is in some quarters considered an accomplishment. vi?" A petition for the pardon of the rebel MaioV- Gen. Henry. Heth, of Virginia, has been filed with the President. . The Pttersburgh Index denies, on the strenth of a letter from a member oi Gen. Lse'a heusehold, that thb ex -rebel leader means to leave the coun try. V A Mexican correspondents says theFrencta are pacifying that country by courts martial, shooting 40,000, Mexicans annually. Afrench pa per dclaroi the Empire a failure, and advocates a French protectorate. The breach between Maxi milian and the French is said to be daily widening. The -'news" from Mexico is of so conflicting a char acter that it is impossible to tell what to beh'eve. Governor Fenton has notified Mayor Gunther Comptroller Brennan, City Inspector Boole, Re corder Hoffman, and Corporation Counsel Delvin, who are the Street-Cleaning Oomnissiohers of New York city, to appear for trial on the 26 th; of Septem ber, on formal charges of corruption, &c. The spirit of opposition to a reunion with the 'Methodist Church North has just found an official sanction a pastoral address to the Southern Metho dists from three of their Bishops, Andrew, Pierce and Paine. The remaining three Bishops , Early of Virginia, Soule of Tennessee, and Kavanaugh of Kentucky, were not present, but they may be sup posed to fully sympathize with the sentiments ex pressed by their brethren. These Bishops repeat all the charges which the c'.ampions of slavery have brought against anti-slavery churches, and re ject in emphatic terms the plan of reunion. General Payne, late of Paducah notoriety, has created aseusaHon among rivermen by the invention oi a new propelling' power, which, does away with the use of boir, and causes an Immense reduction in the ezyeutf f fuel. W. R. Arthur baa offered $100,000 In tenth interest in the paten, with a ' view uf bringing it into nse on the Illinois Central Railroad. It i id that speculators at Richmond are buy ing up all the Confederate currency and bonds they can find, iu anticipation of some proposition hereaf ter io Congrebs for their payment. Oat of less than 400 guests at one of the princi pal UtelB iu Washington, 232 are Southern appli cants for Executive clemency. TbViatest iuventio'n of India rubber, in Paris, is " a false bust and neck" for female a perfect imita tion of flesh and blood, and (as tbey say of good counterfeit) " welf calculated to deceive." A; the circle where the true and false neck are connected is worn aiiind of ribbon, or a vhito necklace whjch coxnptetelyeoiicels the junction. . A large meeting of the oldest planters of La Fourcbe, L., was recently held, when they resolved to quit trying to raise sugar. The report of their committee argues that cotton cannot be raised with the preaent labor torce in the State, and they recommend planters to turn their attention entirely to corn. General Grant, on the completion of his tour through the Down-East regions and the Canadas, tnrned his stepd towards the far North-west, and has recently vihited the principal towns of Illinois, Iowa, .Wincoosin and Minnesota, extending his trip in the )Uer State t 8t. Paul and the Falls of Miooebatha. At U the places he has visited he has been worthily teceied with the greatest honors and enthusiasm. Al St. Paul he was received with the firing of cao noQ and an Imposing torchlight procession, and was Qteruined at a magnificent bat quet. At Winona, tbe General delivered what is supposed to be his longt public 6peech on record. He was prodi- g&l of his words "at St. Paul. He made two speeches. The first, when he entered the town, thus : " Ladies aud Geutlemen : It la not my habit to make lichen, but I thank you for this very cordial wel come which you hT given me to St. IPaul." The ' ifcond in response to a serenade, thus: " Gentlemen and Firemen of St. Paul. I am just about to leave, after h very pleasaut visit to your city and State.

Uar e2le must exnanrf both its wing Oir National RpubHo must Djiaa itself on b itn section if it would m)e aafilv oa its glorious mission." Fight it Oat on That Line. A planter of the parish of Iberville, La., has ad dressed the following communication to the Freed men's Aid Association of New Orleans Gextlemen : I am a planter of twelve years' ex perienc ; this year I am working twely, hands, six men and "x women; my laborers are to get one fourth of the net proceeds of the crops. They have a full understanding of the interest in the said crops. Our contract was made on the 1st of Feb ruary lasty and the result so far is a complete suc cess. We have to day 85 arpen'ts of cotton; 25 ar pents of sugar-canes; 75 arpents of corn all in per fect condition. I don't mention the vegetable crops. Under the old system ten arpents to the hand was considered a fair result, and more than three fourths of the plantations failed to come to that standard. ' My laborers are all good people, behaving well, having good, common sense ; they are honestsjand true to their family. Besides the crop in common, they have raised for their private account small crops of corn and vegetables ; they have poultry, &c, of their own. Not a single difficulty has occurred among them since they have agreed to work on my farm. Thus is the whole labor problem solved. Doal justly, give the freedraen some interest in their work, and there will be no trouble. In this case fifty per cent, more of ground is cultivated than the same number of hands cultivated under the old system. and the probability i3 that the p'anter will make that per cent. more. It is probably best to 'peg away" at the old slaveholders, till they con clude to deal justly, and thus "fight it out on that line." It ii nothing but sheer ugliness on their part that causes all the trouble and inflicts all the distress upon the freedmen. A Bcuiiniscence ef John C. Calhoun His Death-bed. A correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat writes: " A gentleman, who spent an afternoon with Calhoun at his chamber in Washington some time before his death, mentions that, among other passages of Scripture discussed by them, he quoted the precept of St. Peter, " Honor all men." "What, sir !" Mr. Calhoun exclaimed, " Honor all men !" Is that in the Bible ? "Certainly, sir, was the re ply. " Sir, he said, God does not require that.- Honor all men ! What 1 the fellow in the White House, and the mass of such beings asJf Hpieet eve ry day yonder at the Capitol t Oh, no I I cannot honor them, God does not command it. His friend explained that the passage claimed for every man, honor as a man, and because he is a man, until he shall forfeit his right by crime. "Sir he rep ied, that is right ; and I do honor all men who deserve it. I honor my slaves who deserve it ; but sucn men as I have to do with in Washington, neither God nor man can honor." 44 The dying statesman continued in the same frame of mind to the last. Just before the solemn closing scene, the Chaplain of the Senate called and was announced by a friend, supposing him, trom his name, to be his Congressional colleague, Judge Butler, Mr. Cajhoun said, 44 Why did you not ad mit him ?" Being told that it was the Rev Mr. Butler, who felt it his duty to converse with him r4the Rev. Mr. Butler I he said; 44 what does he want ? He a young man, to call at this time, to speak to me on a subject upon whick Ihave thought all my life! Tell him he cannot be admitted." Oh! For a Bot. Some individuals coming into the world, as snooks says Jeff Davis did, at a very early period of their existence, are 4 'born with a silver spoon in their mouths." Of this class is tbje subject of the following item, which we extract from the Albany Express r; Many a young woman, under the care and protec tion of that indispensable necessity a husband, would not object to having a boy, provided she had such a mother-in law as Mrs. Senator Kate Chase Sprague. In the proper time : the lady presented her liege lord with an heir an unmistakeable boy, very njuch like his papa, we supp se. Mother-in-law, was so well pleased, in fact, so delighted, that she 'orthwith reduced her own bank account half a million of dollars a mere trifle to be sure and made her daughfer-in- aw just that amount richer than she was previous to her addition to the popu lation ot the country. Nor was this all this model mother-in law did. Youngster was thought of Before be had been weighed, and certainly before he b d been nan ed in fact, nurse had hardly wrapped the little stranger in his infantile robes he was the owner and possessor in his own right of $100 000. Now, that's not bad to take. It would not be a bad idea to be born again to be treated in the same way. Truly Mrs. Spragne is a "bully" moth er in law, and the younger Mr. S. undoubtedly thinks so. THE OITY. Meetino of the Colorh Citizeis. At a called meeting of thawlored ctfaens' of Raleigh, on mo tion of VV H Matthews, Bocker Hutchings was called 'tdtmV'dlflllr, and Jno E?

The. resolutions w;ere the meeting. un-inimouslyadopted by W hope the critans of Raleigh will, spread their doors wide to the free acceptatioa of their interests. BOOKER HUTCHINGS, Chairman. Jno. E. William, Secretary. Equestrian. We notice a great fondness among the ladies of Raleigh for bone back exercise. Every fair evening large numbers of ladies, attended . by gallant cavaliers, can be seen galloping on the many avenues leading from the city. Nothing is more attractive than a handsome lady, properly at tired and well mdunted ; and if "she rides well, she. elicits the attention and admiration of all behol ders. At the same time no othr kind of exercise is so conducive to health, or is so axhilerating. It is possible that this is one of the reasons why ineiauies ot naleigb. are so proverbially beautiful. . - The Human Hair. To number the hairs of the head has been in all aged counted as Impossible a feat as-to count the sands of the seashore. Tne as tounding labor has, however, been gone through by a German professor, who thus tabularizes the result of his examination of four heads of hair: Blonde (number of hairs) .' 140 400 Br6wn " " : V"""l09,'440 BIack '- " 102,962 ' 38,740 The heads of hair were found to be nearl equal in weight, and the deficiency in the number of hairs in the black, brown apd red colors was fully coun' balanced by a corresponding increase . of bulk in th'e individual fibres. The average weight of a wo man's head of hair is about fourteen ounces. Crowds ofcountry people are to be seen daily in the capitol square beseiging the occupants of a small seven by nine (our strawing devil says 6 ntii) tent with applications for rations. This daily trampling of the grass may resultfin some good to the hungry petitioners, but we suggest that it will not improve the appearance of the square, the cleanliness and attractive appearance of which should be the pride of the authorities. A portion of the trees have been white-washed, when, as if the treasnry or the white wash gave oat, this ef fective mod's of improving the appearance of the grounds, was discontinued. A great deal of white washing, nevertheless, progress in that vacinity yet. Of course we have no reference to anyone who may apply for pardon. oh no ! Whbbe does tjie money come from ? No time iu this history of Rileigb, has its streets presented such a lively and attractive and busiueas-llke aspect $ they dp now. The coantry people flock hither with their produce, which they sell at rates as reasonable, as the same articles cau be purchased io Northern markets, and they aro ole to buy goods from our merchants the most reliable of which advertise In the Progress correspondingly chep. The direct 'tax to the general goveromant U raxtly all paid, and business is fast finding its old channels. The routes of travel between here and the North, are crowded with Our citizens going and coming from New York and Baltimore. Traly, the good " old times" of before the war, are insensibly creeping over oj, and before we know it, we will be able to enjoy our selves much after the manner 0 hU own inclination. Hot, Hotter, HerrssTOTTissiMosT Yesterday and day before were two very warm days, almost if not quite, the hottest we- have-had this year. According to precedent, h'oweer, the pleasant sea son is about to eommence, and if old inhabitants are rizht. we are just enteriug into an autumn of- unusual comfort From this time until Christmas we predict fair weather.
