By the same pro- ceas that Mr. Curtis proves that Mr. Bulwer is a heartiess aristocrat, with no reverence for woman, it sould be no very difficult matter to show wat Mr. Curis hinself be- longs to the class that be professes 8» much to despise. 11 is hasd to say what arlst crwcy really ia.

Ou the night of the 6th inst. the cold weather commenced in earnest, and has continued unabated to the present time, with no prospects of “ holding up.” Ourusuay “ January thaw” has been entirely overlooked by the Clerk of the Weather, and the event will now be post- poned for one year. The 7th, Sth, 9th, 10th and 11th inst. were the coldest days within the remembrance of thai often quoted individual, the “ oldest inhabi tant,” and it was no joke to get up in the morning and find the mercury in the thermometer down to 25 degrees below zero. Our beautiful river has been firm ly bridged over for several weeks, connecting us with “ her majesty’s dominions” without a ceut of toll, and rather facilitating business betwen us and the ‘‘ wise men of the East.’ Some days I have seen from fifty to one hundred “Canuck” ponies, with their “‘pungs,” employed in transporting pork, flour, grain, venison, furs, and other of our export commodities, acroas the river,to be taken to your great emporium for market- The receipts of grain produce are comparatively light at this season of the year, amounting, during the past week, to only about 5,000 barrels flour, 15,000 bushels corn and 5,000 bushels of oats, The number of dressed hogs received reached to over 16,000 ; and 2,500 live ones for the eastern market. The receipts of our connecting railroads show au in- pipes business over last year, for the last week, as follows :— MICHIGAN CENTRAL ROAD. 1. 1856 Paesengers.... $14,887 50 $14 03 40 Freight... ,580 10 16 664 97 TE te ood ceteapeeaes $36,905 60 GREAT WESTERN (CANADA). 1596. 1865.

The two elements of “ soft” and“ hard” in the party of this State create a little struggle for the delegates, though the administration “ softs” will carry the day, and elect a delegation in favor of Pierce. They will also be friendly to Gen. Case, in a certain contingency: but his name will not be used & the Michigan delegation unless a contingency should arise, where a“ compromise” candidate would be required. During our extreme frigid weather we have had two or three Kansas men here among ns, soliciting money on account of the people of Kansas, upon highly colored pictures which they draw of the con- dition of the people of that Territory. ‘The first one who had been made a hero by some copnection with the “border ruffians,” I ‘believe met with very indifferent suecess. Geing rather a homble indivicual, our republican agitators treated lim as an inefficient tool, and he scarcely raised enough to “ge on his way rejoicing.” Hut the second one proved more bland nd patro- nizing in bis manver, more finished in his address, and had the iny nt prefix of general to his name, which rendered his mis.ion a more profitable one. ‘The friends of freedom who have that glorious prin- ciple rectified and condensed exclusively within themrelyes, concluded through his represeitations, to raise several hundred dollars, in place of as igs thonsands which he thought they onght to raise. It may be all right. If eee of in such a deplorably snfiering condition, and need help, let them make their trne condition known to the world ina tangible form, and a generous public will come to their relief. But Ll submit whether the drumming system by Tom, Dick and Harry,on their account, is the way te do it. Demagogues are often the most zealous advocates and agents of any good cause. What excites the suspicion of the more in- credulous, is the exaggerated reports by these itine- rants of suffering and destitution never heard of from any other source. 1 have looked in vain in the Kunsas correspor- fence of the-Hrxaup, aud othe New York papers, fr the corroboration of the truth of some thing said by these missionaries. Why should these facts he confined to the wisdom of a few select men, seat out like Mormon elders. to “preach to all na tions?” It look: many like a hobby used to de- fray the expenses of itinerant agitators, to farther the interests of the Seward alliance for the Presiden- tial campaign next fall. lition convention called at Pittsburg on ansas are really | the 224 of Febrnary, under the cognomen of “ Na- tional Republican,” will be favored with an ex- trewely meagre attendance from this State—mark the prediction. The State Treasury will farnish the motive power to propel whatever representation may attend under the anspives of the “ republican party” from this State. The people are not in fa- yor of any sneh sectional organization as is proposed at Pittsburg, bat are looking with aoxious solicitnde to the result of the American National Convention, to assemble af Whiladelphia on the same day. Should some new ‘ man of the people,” uncontami- nated with political intrigue, fresh from the indus- trial or commercial pursaits so intimately counected with the glory and prosperity of our coinmon coun try, be nom, d by the American Convention, the be of the party kas then become almost a fixe: ‘act. The people are ready to ratly didate—a noble specimen of an American citizen— possesting none but pure American principles with all the ardor ~nd enthusiasm of the campaign of 1-40, when an old political intriguer, with a hoat of camp followers, was cast off and repudiated, aud an honest. unpretending old soldier, living quietly upon his tarm in his “log cabin,’* was so triumph antly elected. He was emphatically a man of the people; the people are panting for another opportunity ‘> bestow their -nffrages upon one who is not elevated above them by the aristoc: ney of politics, Such a man can be found, fully identified with the glorious prosperity of ovr country, in agriculture, commerce or masufactures; and such a man the people want nominated by some party, or taey will, by and by, break over al) party bounds and organizations, and “goin” for such a one, regardless of nominations or conventions. Let the Philadelphia Convention nominate such aman, known to possess pure Ameri- can en sag a soand judgment and discriminating mind, with firmness and integrity, and the resuli will not be doubifal, unless demagognes get control of the convention, and kill the cause by attenrptii to build platforms. Ofall things that the Americ party should not do at that convention is the build- ing of platforins outside of the American platform. F have the strongest hope that that body will be composed of patriotic material, which will iook to the success of the American party and the trinmph of American principles. Above all others, and in my jndgment the only way to accomplish such a re sult, is to yield to rey. man his own views upon ali jiestions bot originally embraced in the organiza- tion and objects of the American party. Let it be known that the candidate is sound on the Aucrican question, and Jet all other issues he ig- nored, forgotten, and go in for “ a long pull, astrong ull, and a pull altogether” for the American party. et nobody be driven from the supportof the Ameri- can party nominations by introducing outside and distracting isenes. There are connt thousands ready to support the American party in 1856, if they are not driven away by being required to sup- port or reject certain ideas about other issues, having no connection with the principles of the party, in a “platform” stuck to the cundidates as a sort of guide board. Let it be known that the candidate is an American, in spirit and principles, and thasis platform enoarh. ¢ itnbroglio in Congress is getting insipid, aud the public are beginning to see the trne working of “ fasion,” alias ebolitionism. fichardson and Ful- ler having withdrawn as candidates, to try ew men, the refusal of Banks to withdraw zhowa he object of the agitators to be to delay the organi- zation and distract the country. Having no regard for the constitution, and being xen by the ele- ments of disunion, they will sacrifice nothing to re- move any obstacle in way of an organisation of the House and the tch of public business, Will not the country be sick of “republicanism” by the time the it batch is out?

After the arrest of the a ieee is hanes of Elijah Kite, Coroner Menz' oe over the body of the child. two children were arrested; the killed; there was much blood on who shot had a child setting on did not know whether it was the child afterwurds found dead or not. James Faris, living on Front street, near the rail- road depot, had the wounded child given him by ita owner, Mr. Gaines; it died in his arms. James Marphy, of Third street, Covington, Ky., deposed that he was present when Kite's door was broken open; the pegro was dra zged out, also a woman from under the bed; the chjid was wrap; ina quilt; it was Jying by the edge of the bed, a little under it; the child was gasping when witness picked it up; he aw Mrs. Kite give a butcher knive to a boy in the yard, and tell him to throw it in the Pry} © BaW NO blood on it. i ‘ . H. Butler, of Main street, gave similar evi- lence. Charles Moore, who resides on Lighth street, said he saw the knife given to the boy by the woman; halt an hour after the door was broken open, a white man came from the saw mill and entered; he stayed for five minutes, then passed out in the rear with Kite; he was of middle size, and wore black whis: ers. W. L. Kennett had made a post mortem examina- tion. The child's throat was cut to the spine; the spine itself was halt severed; the wind-pipe, blood vessels and integuments were all severed. The wound seemed to haye been made by one heavy, forcible stroke. ; Mr, Broomfield and Mr. Sattop added some unim- portant particulars. Yesterday the inquest was renewed. Wm. Robin- son, of Covington, corroborated in several particn- lars the evidence given by Patterson and Moore. Mary Kite,a woman of about twenty-tive, who gave her evidence with her intant child lying on her knee, testified that the people arrested came to their house about 8 o'clock on Monday morning; she did not know their names or from whence they came; she asked them but few qnestions. Persons applied for admission; she refused, not being in the habit of admitting strangers; they threatened to get an officer; she replied, when he came he could get in; she heard a shot, and going in found the youngest of the women attempting to cut her boy's throat; the child was saying, * Oh, mother, don’t kill me;" he bad a mark upon his throat, as it from a knife; witness struggled with her, took the knife from her and told her not to kill her children; the wo- man said she would rather kill them all tham have them taken back over the river; witness took the knife into the buck room and laid it on the table; the woman came out, looked for it and grabbed atit; witness took it away and gave it to her (witness's) boy to throw down the privy, which he did; when witness went into the room she saw also the two men, the other woman, and the little girl lying on the floor-with its throat cut; this was some little time before’ the arrival of the officers. Elijah Kite, husband of last witness, corroborated the evidence of his wie, as tothe struggle for the knife, the attempt to cut the boy's throat, and other particulars. Kite and his wife testified also that when they en tered the room where the strangers were, while the woman attempted to cut the boy's throat, her hus- band was walking about seteaming, the other mai was walking about, groaning; and the woman going up and down the room, wringing her hands. The inquest was then postponed until six o'clock, to give time for obtaining further testimony. At the adjourned inquest in the evening, Major William Griflth, of Covington, deposed as to Pat- terson raising the front window, and hearing the i Mrs. Kite then came ont into the back yard; s id she was locked out; when witness got into the frout room, he saw the father and mo- ther of the child, and seized the'former. The jury then walked np in a body to the jail, where the grandmother of the dead child was ex- amined. She ix a hearty looking negress, and gave her evidence with great propriety and a gravicy of manner amounting to solemnity. She said her name was Mary Garner. Being warned not to say anything that might criminaie herself, she was sworn, and deposed:— The mother of the dead child is named Margaret Garner, and is witness’s daughter-in-law. When the white folks came in on them, she said before her child should be taken into Kentucky aud made a slave she would kill it. She said to witness, ‘ Mother, I wil) kill my children hefore they shall be taken back, every one of them.” She then ran to ber child with a butcher knife, and cut its throat. It was the little girl, Mary, who was three hea old. My daughter cried “ Mother, help me to kill the children.” T[ said, “J cannot do it.” Witness went out of the roomand got under a bed in another room, and staid there until some men hauled her out, Did not see her do anything to any of the other children. Nobody of their company was then in the room bat herself, Margaret and the children. Her husband and son were in other parts of the house. A good many white people were rushing in, who seized them. ‘The child was killed i the front room. Jn reply to a question from a juror, witness said the deed was done as the white people were rushing in, Sue had heard nothing said about Sine the children pre- viously. They had nota drop of liquor about them, and had not heen drinking. Whemshe ran ander the bed her husband was already there. The jury brought in the following verdict:— We find that the child, Mary Garner, came to ils death by a butcher knife in the hands of its mother Margaret Garner, with which she cut its throat, ‘Iwo of ibe jary, in addition, found that the two hegre men were accessories, also the woman Mary. They founded this addition to the verdict on the ab- sence of apy attempt on the part of those indi. | ary to prevent the consummation of the horrible deed. The aseount of the last witness was.so opposite, as tothe absence of ber sonand husband from the room, to that given hy Mrs. Kite, that they consi dered it probable that thy were present-during the murder, The appearanee of the fugitives ix favorable io regard to their phy sical well being, looking as though they had been well fed; their clothing i» good and comfortable. We do not hear of them making apy complaint of unkind sage on the part of their masters, and we learn from one of the wit nestes that when the officers were brov\i the door, Mr. Gaines expressed his anxi thing ehould be done inconsistent with the law, and especially desired that no harm whatever sbould be done % the Jittle children. The mother ig of an_ interesting appearance, a mouiatto of considerable intelligence of manner, and with a good addyess. In reply to a gentleman whu yesterday complimented her upon the looks of her little boy, she said, “You should have seen ty little girl that—that— (she did not like to say was killed) —that die@—that was the bird.” Many romors were afloat yesterday, owing to a knowledge of the fact that the fagitives were not in the custody of the Sheriff, but of the United States Marshal; that there was an informality about the writ of habeas corpus ; aud that none of the parties were under arrest for the mitrder. 1b was said they had been taken from jail and before the United States Commissioner, and smugglad off. The pro- duction of the woman before the jury at the jail, however, showed the prisoners to be safe. The litile boy was asked for, bat on Jailor MoLean stating that the children were sleeping, the jury excused hia attendance. It is expected they will be bronght up before Judge Burzeyne this morning, at nine o'clock, and Sf the habeas corpus prove informal, then th: ig will appear at the United States Commissioner's Court, on Fourth street. The State of Ohio will doubtless hold the woman to onawer for a crime com mitted on her soil. The litte boy has aserere wound on his head, from which the blood was trickling when the offi: cera made the arrest. He says his mother hit him there with a shovel. The face of the infant, nine monthe old, ia much swelled and battered, aud one eye swelled, doubtless from being strack vith the same jastrument. A shovel was found on the pre- mises, by which, it iasupposed, the wouada were givea.

On Wedncetay, January 23, at the Sisters of Mercy Convent of St. Francis Assissium, Brook! the Right Nev, Bishop gave the white veil to Julia McKenna, called in religion Sister Mary Frances. A large number of people were present at the reception, as well as a nnmber of the clergy. The Pishop made, on the occasion, a very affecting address on the nuture and advantages of the religious vocation. Miss McKenna is the sister of the Rev. J. McKenna, of Brocklyn diocesa. Ata special meeting of the Presbytery of Portage, at rTrineuie, Jan. 15, 1856, Rev. foots Shetdon was suspended from the gospel ministry for “ A violation of his marriage covenant in wilfully de- serting his wife, and thereupon obtaining a divorce frem her without scriptural reazon.” The Stamford Advocate says the Rey. James Hoyt, pace in the Be iy pe church in th :t vil- lage, has gone over to the full belief of the modern Spiritualists, and the editor considers the event the more remarkable as the reverend gentleman had no: long since been zealously engaged in deliveriag a series of discourses vehemently exhorting his people against going into such ridiculous delusions. REGULATIONS FOR LENT. Wednesday next, the 6th inst., is Ash Wednesday, and will be the commencement of Lent. Archbishop Hughes has iesued the following regulations for the guidance of bis Catholic brethren in this dioeess:— 1. All the week days of Lent, from Ash-Wedues- day till Easter Sunday, are fast days of precept, on one meal, with the allowance of a moderate colla- tion. 2. The precept of fasting implies also that of ab- stinence fiom the use of flesh meat. Bat by dispon sation, the use of flesh meat is allowed in this dio- cess, at the principal meal on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays of Lent, from the first Sunday until Yalm Sunday. 3. The nse of meat is not allowed on Thursday next after Ash: Wednesday, nor on any di Holy Weck immediately preceding Faster Sree 4. There is neither fist nor abstinence to be ob- served on Sundays of Lent, except Palm Sunday, which isaday of abstinence from flesn meat, but not a day of fast. 5. It is not allowed to use fish with flesh meat at the same meal. 6. There is no ereaiton to nse eggs, butter er cheese, provided the rules of quantity presciibed by the sast Le complied with. 7 The charch excuses from the obligations of fasting (but not of abstinence from flesh m ex- cept in special cases of sickness, or the like) the fol- lowing classes of persons:—Ist, the infirm: 2d, those whose daties are of an exhausting or laborious cha- racter; 3d, persons who are only attaining their 4th, women in pregnancy, or nureing in- 5th, those who are enfeebled by old a; But these persons shorld be perstaded ou just grounds that they are entitled to exemption from the precept—ro that their not observing it may give no offense to their own conscience, nor scandal to their neighbor. For this purpove, if they have any doubt, they will do well to consult their spiritual director or their physic hey should, however, cherish the interior spirit of this holy season, the same aa if they are able to comply with the ex observance of fasting and mort sorrow and comypanction for sin—a and recollection.

CHURCHES DESTROYED BY FIR, Tnsurance companies, we believe. 8 the Boston Transcript, comider chureves to be first class vsks, andthey are taken at a low figure. [nt very few of our city parishes have ever lost their churches hy fire. The last instance that we romember, was the burning of the Catholic Church in South Boston. The First Church, aud the Hollis Street Society, Jost their meeting honses during disastroas confa- grations, The former was burned in the great fire in October, 1711, and ébe latter was consumed in the fire at the South End in 1787, The Old South nar rowly eseaped destruction, when the stables on the opposite side of Milx street were burned some forty- five years ago, and one of our esteemed. citizens of Ward ane, a massive silver pitcher dat was pro- sented:him by the Old South Society for his darif efforts on the ocearion. The Old North, in North burned in 1676, and rebuilt in 1677, was osed for @rewood by the British troops by order of Gen. Howe in 1776. The Hanover Church, when the reuior Dr. Beecber was pastor, wos destroyed by fire, Feb. 1, 1890. The spire of Hollis Street Church was struck by las ooige f and set on fire about sey untoen Years ago, ie damage was confined to the Steeple. The spire of Christ-@barch, Sales street, has heen on fire within a few years, but sustained only sight injary. Brattle stzeet Church was sorae- what damaged by fire a few weeks since. Rut when we consider the number of caurches in Boston, and the combustible character of many of the large wooden structures occupied by our vurishes th former years, it is remarkable that so few of thom have been destroyed by fire. It is somewhat singn- lar that within five years a gronp of towns near Boston have had houses of public worship totally destroyed by fire. The Unitarian Church, in Somer- ville; the Orthodox Church, in Winchester; the Baptist Charch, in Malden; the ee street Charch, in Combrige! and more ray oe Unitarian Church, in West Cambridge, have been burned. The fovr edifices Jast named were within sight of the Somerville Charch, The above were all modern structuyes, erected within fifteen years, and with the exception of the church last destroyed, have boen replaced with beautiful and tasteful Caicos CHURCHES IN 8AN FRANCISCO. the following table, says the that there are in the much abused isco, no less than thirty churches, 9,606 Divine on day. are,besides, three or four communities of Tal disposed persons who worship in pao in relation to 3 esers statistics could be procared. It will, therefore, be safe to estimate the total amount of persons who attend church on the Sabbath at 10,000. Deducti: the 10,000 Chinese who reside in this city, the tot: Christian popaleaien is bly about 50,000. Out of this population 10,000, or one-fifth, regularly at- tend the churches to which they beige.

It also appears from table given below that the it Vi of the church property in this city is al $742,500. Most of this property was purcbased when real estate comman high prices, and it is therefore proba- ble that it was origi purchased at an expense of at least $1,260,000. It must be admitted that we have fostered religion with no niggard hand, and we have no hesitation in saying that ifthe amounts we have contributued for this pur, , were added to money expended in charity, the sum total would reach very near to a title of our substance:—— Denvmination and Location. et Value.

Where a blank space occurs in the debt column, it is evidence that the church is free fiom debt, except in the case of the Unitarian church, the debt of which could not be ascertained. Jn reference to the debt of the First Congregational church, we are requested to notice the fact that the amonnt is due iu netesof from $100 to $5,000, nearly all of which are held by members of the society and their friends. The notes become due July 1, 1356, and are all secured by a mortgage executed to a trnstee. There are 124 pews in the church, none of which have been sold. The sale of one hundred, at 4 moderate average, would pay the entire debt. DEATH IN THE MINISTRY. The venerable Payson Williston, says the Spring- field, Mass. Republican, of the 1st inst., died at Mist hampton, January 30, aged 92 years, and more than 7 months, after an_ illness of only a few days. He was the videst surviving graduate of Yale College, in the distinguished class of 1783, of which Drs. Austin, Holmes and Morse, and Judge Daggett and Goy. J.Cotton Smith, of Connecticnt,were members. He was also older by three years than any living graduate of Harvard College. But of Dartmonth college, there are living five older graduates; the first of whom, a graduate of 1778, Rev. Laban Ainsworth, ew Hampshire, ts now about 100 years Williston waa the son of Rev. Noah Willis- ton, of East Haven, a graduate of 1757, who died in 1811. He was the first minister of Easthampton, setiled in 1759, and resigned in 1833, after a faithfn) ministry of forty-four years. He lived to see the little district over which he was settled in the wil- derness, grown into a large and flourishing town with two churches, the seat of prosper- ous manufactures conducted by his own son, aud that son the founder and benefactor of a large and excellent academy in the same town. His old age was gladdened by the affection of his sons and the respect of all his acquaintances. He had not lived in vain. But, as the earth was fading away from his sight, he had higher joys than anything earth- ly could yield—the joys of a homble Christian faith and of a triumphant hope of a blessed immortality. Our Nebraska Correspondence. Oman Cry, N. T., Jan. 16, 1856. A Glimpse ot the Nebraska Legislature Ae It Is— How They Progress—Bank Charters—Re-loca- tion of the Capital—General News. Tt is quite amusing, and about as good as the Bowery theatre, to step into the legislative halls of Ne)raska. Either room is about eighteen by twenty feet, around about two-thirds of which is a common railing, inside of which, huddled closely together, are the members-——twenty-six in one house and thir- teen in the other—perched, some on the top of their little pine deake, squirting tobreco juice to the right and left; some on their chairs, with their fee’ ele. vated to an angle of forty-five degrees, some stalking alont in what litle vacant room there is left, and some whittling, Yankee style. The fireman, door keeper, sergeant-atarms, last year’s members, and the public generally, get inside the bar whenever they feel like it; and there is generally about as much order as at @ town meeting away off in Yankeedom. The roi] is called, and off the Sergeantat-Arms is posted to the barrooms or ledging places about town for abeentces. Bang, bang, goes the Speaker or Presi. dent's litle hamver every few minutes, with about as much efiect towards restoriug order as if there no use for it, Mr.—— tells the body how they do in the Iowa Legislature, and knows all about legislative proceedings as wellas Jefferson; pitches into Billy Cass because he don't yote with his party; threatens to tell his folks “to hum” bow bedly he behaver; calls the gentleman from ——a liar, without the fear of responstbilities; and after a balf honr’s speech on nothing, sits down to mail the Journal,in which his name fgurea conspicuously, to his half dozen titvents. The ayes and nays are called about every other minute, as if their con- stituents must krow just when and how they be. have—whilst really half of them have perhaps either already gone or have forget that A., B.or C., was representing thei crests at the capitol. Some few of the members get thirsty or hungry—~an ad- journment is carried, attd away goes the honorable crowd, scme to thelr boarding houses and some to ‘le drinking saloons, to restore the inner man’s strength to a statu condition. Some went a bill passed, and are willing to pay well thercfor—of course there is a caucus, and of course the majority must be got to carry it through ~and through it goes. A half a gross of bank Lills must be got through to swindle the people, .and X, ¥ and Z, who are considered doubtful on the svlject, must have their names in the bill in order to ensure their support, Take it altogether the Le- gislature of Nebraska is an jntoresting body. Several one horse bank charters have passed, and J understand the Governor won't veto them. I wish we had some of Jackson’s blood. Night berore last came quite a struggle on the capital bill—or rather the bill to re-locate the capital of Nebrarka. Ttwas a rich time. A place away out on the south side of the Platte river had beca select- cd by the south of the Platte delegation; but it won't suceeed. The debate was intermingled with bits of the i of the corruption, Ligier 4 decep- tion and rascality practiced first locating the capital here. Morton and Decker, of Nebraska city, and Moore and Miller of this place, were the principal was digputants. The Cre bas been postponed until next Monday night. \t will result as follows:—'Their The name of le, vregent selection will fail.
