The Nativity of the Employees ix the State and other Depaktmexts. -In answer to the queries of a correspondent, we make room for the following, which appears in the Union of June 19th: "The following; complete refutation nnd ex posure of the false statements of the know nothing press was procured By us from tlie records in four of tlie Departments in Septem ber last, and we are now enabled authoritatively to add that the changes made since that time have not increased the relative proportion of foreigii-iiorn citizens in office: "1. The Post Office Department employs iu Washington 100 persons. Of these, 88 are native-born Americans, and 12 foreign-born. Of the 12, five were appointed before the present administration came into power, leaving seveu appointed by -the i resent Postmaster General. "2. The Interior Department cmnlovs 793 persons. Of these, (104 are native, 88 foreign born, and 10G whose birth-place is unknown. "3. The State Department employs at Wash ington 35 persons. Of these, 30 are native, and 5 foreign-born.- "4. The Treasury Department employs at Washington, and iu the custom-houses, light houses, aud coast survey, 2,093 persons. Of these, 1,845 are native, 227 foreign-born, and 20 whose birth-place is unknown. "It apnea :s from these records that, iu the four departments named, there are 2,567 native, and 322 foreign-born citizens employed. A similar statement from the other departments would not inere.se the porportion of foreign-born appointees. What we have given is sufficient to stamp the charge as a gross falsehood." AnvAxtT. Payment kok Newspapers. No subscriber worth retaining will object to the pay-in-ad vance system. Those who -went to hear Jenny Limi had to pay in advance, and what were her divinest strains compared with those which flow from editorial pens?

Nay, if any one has so little regard for his own character as to want to read IJarnum's autoljiograjihy, he must first pay for it. And yet men hesitate and cavil about paying iu advance for a paper furnished at a price on the very brink ami utmost verge of prime cost. Anglo Canadian. Sorer second TitnrciiT. Some five years ago n tradesman of Pittsburg borrowed about six hundred dollars from an intimate friend, who had the amount lying idle iu bank, and gave him as security a fraudulent mortgage on property belonging to his mother. The trades man failed, and went to California, and his creditor found upon investigation that his mort gage was good for nothing, and that not a cent of his claim could be realized. The defaulter was not again heard from until the arrival of the steamer a few weeks ago, from California, when the gentleman from whom the money had been borrowed received a note from him stating that he had sent over a thousand dollars to pav the principal aud interest of the long-stand ing account, and that that sum was now await- hisordes at a banking house in New York, which he named. The gentleman has the ey safely in his possession. 111 on- A Thai- roit Catchim; Tai-e Worms. The Scientific American, of Au;r. 11th, has an article, with illustration, descriptive of a trap intended for catching tape worms in the stomach, invented by Dr. Alpheus Myers, of Logansport, Ind., for whicli he has secured letters patent from Washington. The trap is made after the fashion of the ancient mouse trap, having forks or prongs whereon to fasten a piece of toasted cheese. When the victim of the tape-worm lias lived on cold water for three days, tlie trap with the bate stuck on is let down into the stomach, where the worm is, ravenous with hunger. The act of nibbling tlie cneese wrings up a spring, wincli secures tlie head of the "varmint," and then the "fish erman'' above in ay quietly and cautiously com mence pulling it tip tlie oesophagus, rolling it up ou a reel ly the yard to the extent of from four to eight rods! This is a little ahead of the Silver Lake serpent. SrAir.CAsn Etiquette. A beau writes to us from Saratoga to inquire ns to some staircase proprieties and politeness. We believe the case is all stated in Stringer and Townsend's capital new book "Illustrated Manners" a compendium of Intereoursiana, well worth every young gentleman's and ladies' paying the price of. The author says: "On a staircase broau enough lor two to ascend abreast, the place of honor is the farthest from the banisters, as being the safest. Where a couple do not go up or down stairs abreast, whicli goes first? It is man-of-war etiquette that everybody descends from the deck before the commander. If a gentleman goes down before a lady, lie will have less risk in treading on her dress. If he goes up foremost, in nine eases out of ten it will be better, since the la dy may have large feet or thick ancles, or some other reason for wishing to protect her lower extremities from observation; and when this is the case, tlie dragging, slouching way in which womeu pull themselves up stairs, is very un pleasant to witness. EXTRAOHDIN'AKT CASE OF SEI.F-MCTIt.ATIOX. A most extraordinary case of self-mutilation (says the Paris letter of the Picayune) is ineutioucd in a late Cork paper. A soldier stationed there, for deserting, was sentenced to be im prisoned for six days, and to be branded on the breast with the letter D. While undergoing his imprisonment be was taken sick, and sent to the hospital. On partially recovering he was removed to the convalescent ward. Here, while no one was watching him, he took the razor with which he daily shaved himself, and deliberately cnt out that part of his flesh on which the ignominious brand had been placed! He then rurhed out of the barracks, leaving the piece of flesh behind him, and has not since been heard of. Deplorabto Condition of Xorfotk. From conversation with several members of the Norfolk and Portsmouth Committee then in Washington, the American Organ of Wed nesday, collects the following heart-rending details : In consequence of the absence of the country people from the market, the richest as well as the poorest citizens arc wholly dependent on the Howard Association for their daily food. The whole population must therefore "be sus tained at the public expense. The whole city is infected to such a degree that the noxious effluvia thrown off by it may easily be scented at a considerable distance be yond the city limits All the resident physicians, with ouc or two exceptions, are dead. - Tlie scenes daily witnessed beggar descrip tion, and have had no parallel since the Plague ot Athens, as described by Ihucydides, or the Plague of Florence as described by Uoccacio. A gentleman relates that he had been un able to visit the house of his neighbor, Mrs Whittle, for two or three davs. When he call- i ed at the expiration of that time, he found Mis H ntttle Iiad:Ueen dead three days, and her re mains still lying uneolfined iu the house. In another room were lying on tlie bare floor, three young persons, male and female, ill with the lever, and no one to care for them. He procured a wagon and mattresses to remove them to the Hospital. Ueforc he could place them in the wagoa the mattresses were stolen and the young lady aud her companions in suf fering were compelled to lie on the bottom, and when they reached the Hospital to be placed ou the floor again. Many of the dead have been buried in the alleys of the city of course increasing tenfold the danger of the infection. Nearly all the banks have lost a portion of their most valuable officers. - The wives and children of several of our most distinguished naval officers have, iu their last moments, been utterly unattended. The conduct of . Col. Wright, of the army, commanding at Fortress Monroe, is severely censured. A few days ago Lieut. Sinclair, United States Navy, procured a row-boat and embarked with three ladies, for the fort. The distance is sixteen miles. When the boat reached the government wharf, it was prohibi ted from landing, Uy the soldier on guard, by order of Col. Wright. Lieut. Sinclair then re quested a message to be delivered to Col. Wright, with his card, to the following pur port, that he regarded his conduct as ciwardh) and inhuman to the last degree, and that he used the word "-ovard!y" in its usual signifi cance. Sinclair, then, with -his precious charge, rowed back again to Norfolk. The CommUtee from Hatnrton In Bfhalf of I lie Yellow Frier Sufl'ercrs! Washington, Sept. 5. In response to the Committee from Hampton, who waited on President Pierce yesterday afternoon, to solic it the use of Fortress Monroe, and the aid of the Federal Government in removing the sick of Norfolk and Portsmouth to that place, the President replies that it is not iu his power to grant the prayer of the Committee, aud deeply regrets that it is not. After consultation with the Cabinet, he had caused an order to be issued to the Comman dant of the Uosport Navy Yard, giving him discretion to advance a month's pay to all em ployees who may wish to leave, and also to close the yard if necessary ; at the same time directing- tlie commandants of all other vardsto 'employ the refugees from Ciosport. ! - ,fi piooauiy iiiai oilier suggestions win oe i made by President Pierce to-day. i . : i. i .1 .. . i. . . 1 . A r :,i 1 lie assigns as his reason for being compel led to decline the request of the Committee, that no suitable place could be procured to which the troops and occupants, (fifteen hun dred in all,) could be removed, and if this dif ficulty did not present itself, tlie time required for preparations aud removal, would bj so great, that the Fever, would iu the meantime be well nigh spent. Tlie President says the subject of relief for the sufferers in the unfortunate cities, was the principal cause of his early return from the Virginia Springs. Several cabinet meetings have been held since his arrival to consider the j subject. He gave the Committee on behalf of his Cabinet o2., aud stated that his own pri vate purse was at their disposal. The Hampton Committee afterwards met at Iirown's Hotel, and appointed a sub-committee to request the "Howard Association" oT Nor folk and the Mayor of Portsmouth, to meet them at Hampton on Friday next, and see if other means could not be devised for the re moval of the unfortunate sufferers. grThe Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing under date of the (Jth, says: A suli-comniittee of the Aorfolk and Ports mouth refugees was down here again to-day from your city, and made a most earnest, and, it seems, irresistible appeal to the President to afford thetn such privileges at the fortress at Old Point as will admit of the accommodation there of a portion of the afflicted citizens while the yellow fever shall continue to prevail. The President evinced the utmost concern on the subject, as he has from the first, and it was evident he felt the embarrassment of his position under the constitution aud laws keenly, coining in conflict as they do with the protnptiugs of his humanity. The President, willing to do all, however, that he could to afford relief, fiualiy consented to remove the troops from Fort Monroe as soon as it cau be conveniently done and quar ters found for them at other stations. This is, of conrse, the extent of the President's power, but with the troops will most likely go others, the families of such of the soldiers who are thus blessed or burdened, as "the case may be, generally going with them from one point to the other. Thus a goodly number of the afflict ed citizens may be accommodated at a healthy and cleanly spot, while others may be taken away to other accessible points, aud cucainped or otherwise accommodated. We see it stated thatPortsmouth has decided against the removal of its inhabitants. Interchange of Courtesies. During the funeral of Lord Kaglan not a Russian gun was firpd Tn return, so soon as the church bells hetran tollimr. announcing the interment of Ad- 1 miral Nachimoff, all the batteries were silenced . Premature Matrimony. Marriage is a Divine and beautiful arrange ment. It was designed by Providence not sole ly as a means of keeping up population, or as a mere social and economical convenience, but as the blending of two spirits into one the mas culine representing wisdom, and the feminine affection. When there is a true spiritual affini ty between the two, then the design is accom plished. Prematnre marriages are among the greatest evils of the times; and it would not be a bad idea in these days of reforms, if an anti-marry-ing-in-a-hurry Society were instituted. JCow-a-daj-s, people leap into the magic life-circle with no more consideration than they would pertakc of a dinner: little thinking that, when once Jn, they were there nntil their end comes. There is little, sometimes of mutual analysis of dispo sition, and comparison of taste and affections. They seem to fancy that, if there are any dis--crepancies, the fatal Gordiau knot, which cau be seldom cut and never untied, will harmonize all. The numbers who have felt this truth the numbers still feeling it to their heart's core arc incalculable. They recognise it ns the great mistake of their lives. The chain is not to them a silken one, but a cable of iron, that tightens around them more and more, crushing out all hope and energy, substituting hate for love, and eating out with its rust, the very iuuer life of the soul. Boys and girls now marry to a greater ex tent than ever before, instead of waiting till they become fully grown and matured men aiid wo men. The young dandy, as soou as he gets out of short jackets, aud finds a furze gathered on his upper lip and the 3'oung miss, as soon as she emerges from the nursery and abbreviated frocks thiuk the' are qualified to assume the most solemn responsibilities of life. And so if "IV and "Mr." won't consent, they post off to some Gretna Green, and there take obligations that, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, they will never cease bitterly to repent. Marriage should never be the result of fane. The ball room and the evening party rarely develop real character. Under the exhilarating influence of the dance, the glare of the lights, and the merry squib and joke, the dissolute young man may appear amiable, - and the slat ternly schold loveable. Matches made at such places, or under similar circnmstauccs, tire not of the class that originate in heavju. They arc more generally conceived in the opposite place, aud bring forth only iniquity. The true way tt learn each other is to do it at home, in the par lor, iu the kitchen, and ou occasions that test the temper. We sec the result of these unions in the almost daily divorces that are taking place, in the running away of husbands, leaving their wives and children to starve, and in the elopement of wives. Not only this, but we witness it in broken-spirited men, made old in the prime of life, struggling on for mere food and clothing and shelter, and in women cross, dirry, sluttish and wrinkled. It would be quite impossible for us to depict faithfully the multitude of physical and moral evils that result from these sinful marriages for sinful the' arc. They ruin the body, corrupt, the morals, and stultify the mind. And the re sult does not stop with husband and wife. There are the children. They partake of the feeble ness and vices of the parents, both physical ami moral, and go out into the busy world stunted anil gnarled. God pity them! We would not be understood as speaking against the institution of marriage. It is holy, beautiful and beneficent. But let every one take bis mate or none. Let not the brave ea gle pair with the stupid owl, nor the gentle dove wish the carron crow. Like should have like. It is a glorious sight to see two old peo ple who have weathered the storms and basked iu the sunshine of life together, go hand in hand, lovingly and truthfully, down the gentle decliv ity of time, with no angers, nor jealousies, nor hatreds garnered np against each other, and looking with hope and joy to tlie everlasting youth of heaven, where they shall be one forev er. That is the true marriage for it is the marriage of spirit with spirit. Their love is woven into a woof of gold, that neither time, nor death, nor eternity can sever. The Eclectic. Sir. .Toiin' Fraxkmx. Lady Franklin has, addressed a letter to the chairman of the Arc tic committee, urging the claims of her late husband to some portion of the reward offered for the discovery of a northwest passage. Sue says: "When it is remembered that these brave and unfortunate men, after years of intense suffering and privation, were found dead of starvation upon a spot which they could not have reached without having first solved that geographical problem which was the object ami aim of all these painful efforts; and when it is also remembered that they are bej'oml the reach of their country's rewards, you will not I think, refuse them the acknowledgement that is, due to their memory." Capturing Sebastocol with Bai.i.ooxs. The skill, science, and daring of some of the most accomplished engineers in the world hav ing thus far been employed in vain against the stout walls of Sebastopol, a resort to aerostatic engines is now seriously thought of, if credit can be attached to the reports which have re cently appeared iu certain English aud French journals. Wc see it stated that experiments are being .made with balloons at incennes, France, for the purpose ot testing a plan for dropping shells and carcases upon the Itussian shipping and magazines. The balloon is to be sent up when the wind is favorable, and is to carry up 13-inch shells, which are to be fired by electricity aud dropped upon tne objects ot attack. Before the American army under General Scott sailed for Vera Cruz, one of our most celebrated Yankee aeronauts offered to capture the famous castle of Sdn Juan d'U'.loa with a few balloons fitted np iu the manner already de scribed. The offer was declined, the sagacious old Commander-in-chief having little or no faith in military operations of so flighty a character. Armed balloons have on several occasions been employed in the European , wars of the present century. At the seige of Venice by the Austrains, in 1849, such aerial engines of war were used, much to the amusement of .the besieged aud with some little damage to the besiegers. I L
