A Warning to Slaxderep.s. The le gal punishment for slander in Orange coun ty N. Y., is rather severe, though occasion ally just enough. It appears that some three months ago, a wman having H hus band and family, goaded to desperation by a man who boasted that ho was her para mour ; publicly shot him with a pistol, the bullet kn eking out several of the fellow's teeth, and inflicting a severe wound. She was indicted for an assault and battery with intent to kill, and tried at the Orange County Court last week. The jury, after an hour's absence, returned a verdict of ac quittal which was received with great ap plause. LOTTERIES. There are but few of the States where this species of gambling is permitted. Maryland forms the most prominent excep tion, and in that State they are forbidden by the new Constitution after the year 1850 if we mistake not. Baltimore has done a large business in this line. Next to Maryland, our enterprising neighbor, Georgia, is taking an active lead in the business, as her system of lotteries is spread out before the readers of almost every secular paper in our Southtrn coun try, holding cut specious and peculiar in ducements for investments. The whole system is a fraud and a swin dle corrupting to public morals, and ruinous to such as engage in them. There is no system of gambling more universally con demned by sound public sentiment than this. Yet thousands upon thousands em bark in it. Men, women and children, rich people and poor labourers' who would be ashamed to stake a dollar on a throw of dice or a game of cards, do not hesitate to gamble through the Post Office, and take desperate risks, and become perpetual losers. In most lotteries the chances of drawing the highest prize are as seventy-eight thous and to one, the next highest seventy-wren thousand to one, and so on down to the smallest. To draw a prize therefore, is little less than a mircle. This wonder sometimes happens. It is noised abroad and for oae dollar drawn, thousands are ex pended. Those interested in the proceeds of lot teries, make vast sums of money. All the agents who sell tickets, also realize large sums. If these grow rich, the subscribers must grow poor. We have known agents established for the sale f tickets, who wero allowed twenty-five per cent, on the amount of all tickets sold. We know one such a man who made his money by trading in paper, as the phrase is, whose conscience compelled him to abandon the sale of lotte ry tickets. Some experience in the busi ness, drove him to the conclusion, that he was taking the money of others without an equivalent, and almost a hopeless chance of an equivalent. We know men who have , -i - l . . : -. .-.f !,.-.;. Im'ac til invest i maue it me uumucob ui mm. ...vo j in lotteries, whr.se heads are now grey. and who have never drawn a prize worth tho name of one. Wo heard of an estima ble gentleman in the city of Philadelphia, who spent a competency in this way, and died a poor man. Washington Dispatch. OCEAN NAVIGATION. A recent American writer on ocean steam navigation says that tho United States have only fifty-seven steamers, measuring 94,795 -ors. while Great Britain has one thousand six hundred and seventy, with an aggregate measurement of GG6, 330 tons. We have twenty-two steamers, of 45,000 tons, engaged in the foreign and do mestic mail service, while Great Britain has one hundred and twenty-one of 235.4S3 aggregate tonnage, engaged in the foreign mail service almost exclusively. We have thirty-seven steamers engaged in the coast- t. V.t bus one thousand five iiil; 1 . 1 ' . ,.....' .. - i j j aK(i forty-eight similarly employ ; .. , ,..1 TUa steam mail service ot urcar Britain costs that Government nearly six millions of dollars annually, while the direct returns in postage amount to vsry little over that sum. The same author says that the American steamers do not last on an average more than ten years : that to put now sets of boilers in one ot the Collins steamers which must be d one every six rears, costs about one hundred and ten ! thousand dollars ; that a trip of the Arago or Fulton to Havre and buck costs about forty-five thousand dollars ; and that, while to run a Collins' steamer of three thousand tons at the rate of fourteen miles an hour, as this has frequently been done, consumes ona hundred and twenty-eight tons of coal per day: she can be run at twelve miles an hour, with a daily consumption of eighty tons, or eleven miles with sixty-one t-jns. The power or coal necessary to produce speed increases as the cube of the velocity. . . Southern Rights, Agriculture. Literature, and Miscellany. 1858. FASHIONABLE NOVELTIES. i i A New York correspondent of the Char- j leston Mercury says : The most recent innovation, and the one j which excites the most comment, is the ' "scarlet," or, more properly, the peasant petticoat, to which allusioi. has been made I , u.. u: in previous iciiers ; ui us iue 5uuj",i . i r - exciting a good deal ef remark, and already a profusion of strictures and criticisms from the press, it is well for the ladies to be thoroughly posted in regard to it. It is also necessary, because few are likely to know anything concerning it from observa tion or experience ; American, and espec ially New York ladies, being too nervous respecting their feet and ankles to adopt a mode which would subject them to criticism in that particular. Besides which, not withstanding their love and noyelty, they have neither courage nor independence, and will not venture on any decided change unless it is endorsed and accepted by a large majority. I have before stated, and it is very gen erally known, that the idea was introduced by Queen Victoria, who observed it in the costume of the peasant girls at her estate in Balmoral, Scotland. It was quickly caught by leaders of fashion, both in France and England, who walk much more than women generally are accustomed to :n this country, and at once appreciated the ad vantage of it. Lady Gore Ously brought it to Washington, but her example has not generally been followed, and it is not likely to be looked upon as anything more titan a caprice. Why the name scarlet should have at tached to them, is not apparent, as they are never seen in that color, with the ex ception of a very few in which the embroi dery was done in scarlet wool. Neither are they made of flannel, but of a fine all wool material, more than twice the thick ness of ordinary flannel. The most ele gant are plain dark crimson, green or purple, elaborately embroidered in a border about a quarter of a yard deep round the bottom. The nrxt in quality have the upper part stamped in small black bayadere stripes, and the lower part in an imitation of em broidery, which forms a border of flowers or palm leaves. These can be obtained fr four dollars each. The more ordinary ones are finished with simple black bayadere stripes, which grow somewhat broader to wards the bottom. These can bo obtained for three dollars. They are worn ovr a small quilted hoop, and in length reach to the ankle or the top of a gaiter boot. The dress which is worn over, is looped up on one side so as to display a portion of the border of the petticoat, one hand be ing able then readily to raise the other, and preserve it from contact with the pavement. Nothing can be imagined more coquettish and attractive than this ida, which is also at the same time effectual in preserving garments from the ruin which is sure to follow any attempt at walking for at least six months out of the twelve. In fact, the difficulty attending this, and the labor of carrying the great mass of skirts under which women were crushed previous to the advent of hoops, has doubt less done much towards producing the dis like of physical exercise, the bodily weak ness and debility which is characteristic of our country women. Thus any method ought to be considered a blessing, which would remove these evils, and not outrage correct ideas of good taste and propriety. Even the fair demurrer at the peasant petticoat forget, while objecting to the possible expose of an ankle, that the un graceful hitching up of the dress in bad weather, generally leaves one part of the person far more exposed than this pos sibly could, while the rest of the robe, to gether with the fine white skirts, are left draggling in a condition suggestive of any thing but neatuess and purity. Htmekial Nomenclature. The follow, ing marriage notice was handed to the Lexington Gazette for publication, by a o-entleir.an who stakes his veracity that names as given are the 6ona fide names of the parties: "Married, on Thursday last, January 14th, Kv- T?ev W. T. Sutton. Mr Dillie DeMarouis G'ilberf Motier De La Fayette O'liryan and Miss Annie Ardelia Amanda Almelia liosanna MalvinaJane Fittz-Eilen Newbell both of Bath county, Virginia." Important to Farmers. A stump extractor was recently tried at Philadelphia by W. W. Mills, the inventor, with great success. This machine is of vast power The weight does not exceed 1,500 pounds Its frreat utility may be thus briefly stated: Standing trees can be taken from the o-round, large rocks removed from their beds; and it is the best power yet invented for movino- buildings. In these respects, in two or three minutes it will do the work of fifty men. Pat's Caution. An Irishman, who was tumbled with tbe toothache, determined to have an old offender extracted; but there Keincr no dentist near, he resolved to do the job himself, whereupon he filled the excava tion with powder, but being afraid to touch it off, he put a slow match to it, lighted it and then run to get out of the way. ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF NAPO- T.EON A despatch of the London Time,, dated the evening of the 14th gives the following account of the attempt to assasinate Louis Napoleon : "The Emperor was fired at lids evening nt )A o'eloek. while entei ine V e Italian . ii ! n i n:- i Opera House, in Rue Lepelhor.

The Monitor of the lGth. says -On their Majesties' arrival at the opera, three e..!.. sione, coming from bellow projectiles, were heard. A considerable number of persons who were stationed before the theatre, in cluding some soldiers of th.; escort were wounded two of them mortally.

"This is my home !" cried a little one, a treasured boy of four summers, as fresh and rosy he came in from school, ui the close of a short winter afternoon. "Indeed, little Willie !" said his mother's visitor, "how is it ? Suppose you go out on the side-walk and try the next dm.i ; sup pose you step into the entry, throw off your little sack an you have here, and pro ceed to the parlor would't that bo your home !" "No, indeed," said Willie, "that wouldu't be it." "But tell me why not ?" Willie had never thought of this.

Espe cially is this difference perceptible when from ihe fame pig iron the br iron pro duced is made in the n finery or the pud dling furnace. Both, by cementation, give -teel, but of essentially different quality. TU.it made by puddling is moro denh, more uniform, and finer in the irrain, end when cast remains so in subsequent treat ment. Iirect experiment has only shown llmt the oilier possesses somewhat more elasticity, and ap; cars to harden better I he pig iron of An-ti ia. made from the pure , .Mliii-e ore blng puddled nt a high lietit. is .-ted to ofiVr an 1 XCelh nt material for cement steel niakii.g . But, unfortunately, .. ue-half of the bar iron thus produced is from the refinery hearths, and what pud dled iron is made is of inferior quality. IxTF.itioit of Tim Earth. Mr Hop kh s.
