mand of tlio Southerner, lio briefly but
eloquently recited some of tho aggros-
sions of tho North upon our rights and
interests. Ho alluded to tho raid of
John Brown, his diabolical plans and
designs, and the honors paid him by
tho Northern people as his corpse was
conveyed to its grave, resembling more
the triumphant march of a conquering
hero than the funeral of an executed
traitor.

roverted to tlio nullification of tho fu
gitive sluvo law by Black Republican
State Legislatures, violating the Consti
tution and rendering inoperative and
worthies one of the moat impor
tant of tlie Compromise measures of
1850,
The speaker concluded with a most
earnest and feeling exhortation to every-
body to come up and support Breckin
ridge and Lane, us tlio most etlectunl
way to rectify these abuses and proservo
our liouo:* and our rights. Wo agreed
fully with him in all lie said against
Squatter Sovereignty and in favor of
protection, but, us ho did not explain
wliy Brockimidge Senators, since the
adoption of thoir platform, voted down
Mr. Brown's resolution declaring there
was a necessity now for Congressional
protection, the Kunsus Legislature hav
ing passed laws excluding slavery from
that Territory, nor gave any explana
tion of ids voto last winter for McClur-

suppoitcd Gov. Brown last fall who re

tant'.questions, in preference to Col.
Akin, who stood squarely aud firmly on
them, wo could not elrar/y perceive, the
force aud consistency of his appeal to

l ily accounted for, we must confess we
do not know what guaranty wo have
that our principles will bo safe in their

that was utterly disregarded the first

“Cincinnati Cheat and Swindle,” that

picious, Wo have not, in tho promises
of tho Democratic party, as much faith

Icthyological Collections.
A scientific correspondent of tho N.

nt Cambridge:
Tho Cumhridgo Museum, already
milking os the nluth iu tins world, it is
hopo, within Ids own
lifotimo, to soo equal to any. Of fishes,
for oxamplo, 8000 species are known.—
Of this number tlio largest existing col
lection, that of tlio Jardin des Plantes,
Paris, lias 5000 spoclos, and the British
Museum 4000. Cumhridgo already has
3000! Bnt thoso 3000 species arc rep
resented by no loss 'than 40,000 speci
mens; so that by a judicious system of
exchanges, it will bo easy to raise the
Museum to a level with the richest col*
lections of tho old world. What n

A New Mexican Forest on Flre*Awfttl
Scene.
A letter to tlio St. Louis Democrat
from Santa Fo, stntos that four Mexican
herders wore driving a lien! of cattle
through tho mountains north of that
J ilno • n short time since, when tho fol-
owing incident occurred:
The mountains woro on firo at tho
timo, but thinking the way cloar boforo
them, they procoeued up a valley until
tlioy Annul thoir way barred by an itn-
iHMietruhlc wall of fire; in alarm they
hastily retraced thoir steps, in tho vain
hope that cscupo might still be possible.
But alas! they woro too late; fire had
olosod tho avenue by which tlioy had
onterod tlio vallov, and a broad belt of
flamo encircled theinon oven’ side, tlio
area of which was rapidly diminishing
ovorv moment . Tlio long drouth hud
rendered tlio rubbish and undergrowth
below us dry as tinder, and the flames
licked them Up with fearful rhpidity ;
aud springing upwards, caught tho pine
loaves above glossy with rosin and then
leaping from iroo to tree, formed a bil
low of tiro awlul to behold. Tho af
frighted heard, bellowing with fear,
dashed through tho flumes, tho most
of them escaping badly burned, but
some perished. Two of tho herders at
tempted to follow thorn ; but who can
breathe in such an atmosphero, walk on
binning coals, onvolopcd 111 flAincs, and
live.
v steps only wore taken, when
their nerves became contracted with tho
intense heat, their limbs refused to per
form their office, and they sank shrink
ing on a bed of fire, never more to rise,
Thoir. comrades hoard the dying groans
of thoir companion, and tlio wild bel
lowing of tho heard as they dnsliod
through the sea of firo, and the roaring
and the crackling of tlio flumes as they
oamo surging onward ; and maddened
by despair, they dashed wildly from
side to side, eagerly seeking tlia*t which
tlioy dart d not hope to find, and alien*
ly suffering iu anticipation tho agonies
}f 11 death too fearful to think of,
when a huge rock burred their way
and they saw, with u thrill of joy, thut
a small spring of water gushed out at Us
foot.
Hope revived within thorn at tho
sight, and with an energy such as emer
gency only could inspire, tlioy improv
ed tho few remaining moments oro the
flauios should reach them, in proparing
to resist them. Everything combusti
ble was removed, until tho increasing
heat forced them to desist, then insert
ing sonic dry brunches in tlio eroviecs
of tlio rock above tlio spring, tlioy satu
rated their bhmkuts with water, and
seating themselves under their shelter,
continued to apply tho water us fust as
the scanty supply permitted.
Ashes, coals, and burning branches
fell thickly around them, aud thoir
hopes fluctuating rapidly between hopo
and despair as their chain e« of esoup.1
increased or lessened. Moments seem*
I lengthened into hours, and doubt-
■m more tban tho agonies of death
ere passed by tiioso poor herders, ero
hopo ripened into certainty, and tlioy
knew they were indeed saved us
brands from the burning.”

Orheii to Leave.—Tlio Now Orleans
Christian Advocate learns through the
siding Elder, Rev. W. B. Hines, and
others, that the Rev. J. J. Early, of tho
Mississippi Conference, lias been noti
fied to leave the country, in conse-
queiieoof the discovery of notes of his, on
slavery preparatory to the publication
>f nil abolition work. He is suspected
of tampering with tlio negroes, aud, it
is said, has sn conducted himself as to
be unfit for the society and service, to
which ho iiud -been assigned. Early
was run ofi'IVom Doer Creek. Missis-ip-
pi. His youth, as wo learn from tho Jack-
Mississippian, was spout as an up-
iifliu, me ,<uunimi niiuunv'i me «u»m,
and upon its being opened, uttomptod
to enter, when the mail by whom the
door hud been opened ofiered violent
resistance. The Marshal and his offi
cers, however, forced their way in,
when tlio individual caljcd for liolp.—
Ills summons was immediately respond
ed to by thirteen armed men,who threat
ened tho Hvos of tfio officers if they
did not leave £ho promises. MoC'nrly
and his men woro, however, firm, and
expressed a determination to search
the house, when tho proprietor of tho
building seized a horn, hanging near,
and gnvoono blast upon it. It wus
immediately responded to iu a dozen
directions. Very soon altar armed
men began to at rive in wagons, mid, in
the short spaco of ono hour and a half,
sixty-two men had gathered together,
thus outuunibefing tho officers nearly
twelve to one 1 Somo twenty-five men
then ranged themsolvcs in order, ami
pointing their guns at McCarty and his
men. ordered him to leave. One of
them hud Lis gun coekod, aud becamo
so much excited that lie discharged it,
the ball entering a barn near by”
Tho mob then doniandcd or McCarty
wliut lie intended to do? Ho boldly
and emphatically replied that "he entno
there to take Booth, and that if lie
could get sight of 'him ho should ac
complish his purposo or dio in tho at
tempt—that tho men who were with
him wore determined men, and if vio
lence were offered, it must bo dono nt
their poril." Mr. McCarty then nuked
them thoir purpose. Tlioy replied tiiat
Bootli should novor bo taken except
over their bodies. That tlioy deflod
the government, and that no power on
earth could get him away from them.
Again they demanded that tho Marsiial
should depart, but ho cooly informed
them that he was not yut ready, and
asked thoir names.
A large number immediately stepped
up and gave them, togethor with their
places of residonce, coupled with the
assertions that they would "lynch,
shoot and quarter” every government
officer who nttompted to accomplish
Booth’s arrest. McCartv did not doom
it advisable to risk the lives of six
against twelvo times that number, and
not knowing that Bootli was iu the
hnuso did not desire to )»cril their lives
against such fearful odds, or render
himself liable if tlio fugitive wus not
there secreted. Ho sent to Ripen for
reinforcements; but informed tho
crowd that if Booth was seen or thoy
would admit his whereabouts, ho would
take him or perish. IIo waited until
after 11 o’clock, having boon there in
the fneo of .loaded rifles and desporate
mon some seven hours, when assist
ance not arriving, himsolf aud men
quietly departed.
The Marshals went for tho purpose of
arresting a fugitive, but woro prevented
by u band of armed fanatics, outnum
bering them twelve to one, banded to
gether to set at defiance the laws of the
United States. If over wo had reason to
deplore tlio spread of fanaticism, it is
now. Ifover there was a time for ac
tion, it lias arrived.

Singular Proceedings.
The Memphis Avalanche gives nn ac
count of tho arrival of three men at that
placo by a steamer, and going up into
town aiul returning on hoard wi»h an
other man, whom they scoured and de
sired tho Captain to land tiiem on tlio
Arkansas side, saying tho individual
whom they had arrested was implicated
n the Texas insurrection plot. Tho
prisoner protested his innocence and
oxpressod his willingness to go with his
captors, if thoy would permit him to bid
his family good hyo. This was refused
and ho was taken in a skiff over into
Arkansas.
Tho Avalanche concludes:
"We aro informed by gentlemen who
witnessed tho affair, that thoy would
sooner suspect the captors of being guil
ty than him. It may be, however, that
he is guilty, and if so I10 should be pun
ished. But there is a way to disponso
justice, and we of Momnliis. as agon oral
thing, like to see it administered with
order and docenoy. It was tho duty of
those men to take logal steps for the ar
rest of their prisoner, and tho fact that
they would not let him communicate
with his wife, ovon in thoir presence,
shows that tliero was something loose
somewhere. On tlio whole it is one of
the strangest affairs that ever camo to
our knowledge, and the appearances
aro that a very great outrage has boon
committed.
