Aa thetime is near at hand when we mast select

it ta highly important that we at odea choose for
this position ot trust men of ability, settled and

those up in whom the people ot the connty can
and will unite, so as to av.nd anything like a
scramble or heated eonlr si lor the position —
Then, citixene of Newton, what say you to

it is needless to 6peak of inrir moral won!,, cj

for wht< h both ihi>c guntlcnidn have cv*r been

-Mitch of the legislation of the time must be

These men coming, as they will, Iresh Irotn the

will not be afraid that the last dollar will be

Dickens shows, in his novels,-a larger •ehaie'-'of to
irnfit t power than utMtructive ability. Some portions
of the story ore scarcely within'the-range of rrolja-
bfiiiy, while in the evolution of the plot there is less
skill and elearness'thanwe would have expeebd from
an author of biekens’ experience; the transitions front
scene to seme are abrupt, and the author winds ap
as if he bad become fatigued with his task. The s«r.

McPherson ft Co. Price $2 60.
A story well told ; but wc arc not prepared
to cay whether the literature of the South will
be benefttted by its introduction or not. We
hope the social constitution of the South, the
moral inflaenooff that are rapidly being de
veloped,' ore too sound, too healthy to demand
such purgatives. - • '
Au ultra Fourierito—Hugo has thrown the
gauntlet at the feet of the tbeoristB who main-
ta n that men arc not all capacitated for thr
came social.position- that some',must of ne
cessity be “drawers of wood and drawers of
water,” while others aafume the higher char
acters in the great' dtams of life. For. his
oharaolers he has gone-ts the galleys, and to
thorn cess-pools of debauchery whiob abound
throughout the cities of France. He has taken
woman from hep fallen and dishonored condi
tion, and attempted to elothe her in the spotless'
robes of virtue. A 'poor wretch who had
served nineteen years in. the galfoyB he brings
out, and by n wonderful combination .of oir-
cmnstauces he is, to alt intents and purposes,'
reformed, and under an assumed name be
comes elevated to the. rank of Mayor of this
oily in which he resides.' The whole book is
au effort to show what may be the result, if
proper-hands dig after the good that'is sup
posed to be hidden in inost human heart?, and
care for it, water and lmurish it,’ until it shall
sway the viler passions of the nature, and the
ruan glands forth redeemed, llow he is going
to succeed iu the petfeotiou of hit characters
remains to be dovel&jied in the succeeding
parts of the Work.
The book, as we have ea>d ia most ably writ
ten, and may b> well adapted to mercurial
France, when a social serf dom has fettered a
Urge class of each community, and the air is
offensive with the .stench that arises from her
many dens of lioentioaenees. Bat hero incur

retched her proper sphere, and the Sjalfisman

-The meeting was largely attended and quite
enthusiastic. About ten thousand persons were 7
assembled. Judge .Ellis Lewis occupied the

Bigler,' ex-Congressmau Biddle, Charles J. In-

fect obedience to thelaws and tho constitutional
authorities, but resistance to any attempt:to
control the ballot-box. The proceedings were
very orderly. The name ol Vallandigh&m was
frequently cheered on its repetition by the sev
eral speakers, as was also that oi Gen.-Model.
Ian. Resolutions were adopted declaring ihc
.arrest Jind bantohffient of Yaliandigham as vio
lence to which the American people will not and
ousht to not submit.; that the.remedy ia-in the

New Knglnp tor Naval Warfare—Yaylor
fit King’s Submarine Battering'Ram.
The model of this new and very .'formidable
engine for naval war purposes—a submarine
battering ram—is now on exhibition at Mea-
ar*7 E. & Q. IF.' Blunt’s,' Water street; in New
York city, and u well worthy of the inspec
tion of ecientiHo men. - -
The battering ram is the invention-of J. F.
H. King, of Staten Island, and its principle has
been already approved of by some of our em-
inent ehip builders Tbo vessel to which the
ram is attached ia protected with a. slanting-
roof similar to that of the Merrtmae, construct
ed in such a manner as to "render it perfectly
impervious to shot, and will ■ e propelled by
two serews: She will be furniahefkiith a ram
—or, aa the French call tt, a plnttjrur—in the
shape of a shaft of iron sixty feet in length
and about one foot in diameter: This shaft
or ram will work under water, tad will be
driven by-two fly wheels, eaeh wheel being
twenty feet in diametrr. nnd weighing twen
ty tons. These wheels, being connected by a
solid and heavy pitman, will, when in motion,
'vVii-atffrik fHdt lill ^hs to the iron ram
or shaft a m omentum of eighty strokes per
minute- ■ssl^a* 2 . ._i
The ram will be worked for striking pur
poses through the prow of the vessel, and
about eight foot under water. . Our readers
can easily imagine the effect that thisplongeur
will produce on a hostile .-hip. Haring deliv
ered a heavy blow, it will draw back,. as It
Bfifttaifald .-end in another and r.inthor, atihe
rate of eighty per niinule No \ e?;e! could
ondure it, and any foreign war ship which we
have read of as yet wonld be destroyed in a
few minutes. Both Ihe priuciplo an 1 plan of
action of the ram ar i simple; bnt the result of
i.a blows would be ibe deair.*.oii ,n of the op-
piecing crafts. In foot, it maybe said that the
principle is based in som- inesfuire on the
practice of tho pugilists of ihs lie-nan and
Sayres schools, who deliver rapid and felling
blows from the .-boulder, and this aemelimes
”when they have placed 'man's head in “ebna-
cerp”—the ram having the advantage that
-ueb a great steam arm will never lire in po-
kii*^ lnio and breaking the ribs of its adver
sary, while it openly avows its intention of
always hitting “b«low the belt’’—under wa
ter—contrary to tha code prevailing in the
roped arena on land.

ol llontilltles, etc.
The New York IForM.of the Jaf instant pub-
lislies,'in foil, a'ipeech delivered by Hon.' James
W. Wail, of New Jertay, before Hie Dr mocraiic
club i*f Philadelphia, May 9th. It occupiet
nearly 6ye columns of small type and ia devo
ted chiefly to a review it- tho antecedents of the
war. It quotes the record Irerly to fix upon the
BJack 'Republican party the responsibility of
this iittqaitous war. Tile following extracts
from the address will be read with interest:
There clearly was a time intha biatory’and
prog rets of this event, when the war might
have been averted niider the guidance of a wise
and pradeot statesmanship ; but unfortunately,
as 1 have before said, thy yrdglijm caught na
with fools and ianaiice in power. I believi d at
the oqtset, ea I know now, that it wonld have
been infinitely better to hate let the seceding States
depart In peace. I. eo. urged members ol Con
gress at the time, and the members of the Peace
Convention I believed then, as I belieec now,
that such a wise and generous policy would
have disarmed rescntmtn s, would have soften
ed and subdued hcarts.then swelling with hate,
but waich resistance must harden, and make
more biller still! .
* -••• The awO’rd and the bayonet, in -.a: civil
strife like the present, between two such people,
can never help to Ibe proper disposition in the
uiinds of either section lor a wise adjustment
and can hexer takethc place’ ol civil” wisdom!
without 'watch all the triumphs of the battle field
are useless. Soon, whatever may be the--result
ol single battles: diplomacy must take the place
of war,or else "anarchy,or the’ resolving this gov*
erameut into a military despotism must-be- the
result. The idea of tbis.atrifc continuini* for
two yearn longer with the prospect nf increased
carnage, eta 'nation of.business, inhibited com'-
tnefee, is loo much for any man, unless it be a

Park,” Newark, N, J,, “to express the senti
ment of Jersey freemen in defenoe of Consti
tutional liberty,” etc. Just as tho mooting
was proceeding to'organize a collision occur
red at one of the entrances between a party of
soldiers, and a “country delegation.” The
World's reporter says:
As tho delegation pressed onward, with quiet
determination, one of lire soldiers, who car
ried a cane, muds a rush to seize the banner
amid tbe yells of his comrades. The man
who held it, a sober, quiet farmer led in ap-
pearanoe, relinquishing the staff to one of his
party, confronted the aggressor and wresting
his. stick from his grasp in a single motion,
gave him tho weight of it across the scull, level
ing him to'the ground in a twinkling, and
opening Iho scalp some two or three inchus in
length. The melee became for an instant only
general, but the oountry boys were too vigor
ous for their opponents, end iu far Ism time
than it has taken to describe tbe affray, three
or four of the soldiers were -helpless at their
feet, Y,ud tho banner was borne onward trium
phantly tu ike platform, while the wounded
men wero cored for by their friends.
At Ihc organization of the meeting, (Jerome
B Ward presiding,) Iho following preamble
and resolutions, were “unanimously adopted

passed at its OWo instance, and from the acts
and threats nf cabinet officers,and genorals.in the

bewhiapored. around that it wonld be dietrib-

would be entitled to receive what the law al-
towed-them. Accordingly, about ten o’clock,
A. M., the Agent.ascendod tho barrel, in front
of the public square and cried out: ■- Oj,
yes I Oh, yes! all persons who are complain
ing, or in any way affliofeJ, aro requested to
eome to this barrel and draw the amouut of
whiskey that tbe law allows them.” In a few
minutes after the announcement might be seen,
numbers of citizens, old and young, saint and

pint and quart bottleB, eager to receive their

there were so many sick persons in our 00m-

Bat so it was. The-whiskey was distributed

have been seen persons wending their way
homo with bottles of the “healing art.” In

the medicine producing effect ehortly after ta

any dangerous or not, but presume by this

Beockadkks Inside • the Bae.—M’o learn
from good authority that two of tho Yankee
blockaders, apparently light draught wcodon
gunboats, havo.had the temerity to take a po
sition inbido the bar, and on Sunday night w-re
lying between Pumpkin Hill and Swuath
Chft'ineis. Their appearance iudicalea them
to be new boats and seemingly fast cruisers
sent to assist in a now effort to render the
blockade more cffeotual. If allowed tr> remain
their position will give thorn adv.inlagea that
will cause considerable annoyance. It is not
supposed, however, tfo-y vill stay long, as
measures are being taken to relievo the harbor
of their preseuca.—Charleston Courier, June
9th. - - -
Marine Accident.—The steamer Slono,
outward bound, having on board a cargo of
about six hundred lulrs eotion.went to sea on
Friday night. Haou after crossing the bar she
was bi.o.q by the blockaders, who fired at her
and gave chase, when she hid to put about
and make for the harbor to prevent her falling
into tho clutches of (he Yankee *. On nearing
the Sullivan’s Island breakwater, owing to" a
mistake on the part of the wheelsman, she was
run ashore on tbe rooks, where eko now is,
with every prospect of her being totally
wrecked. Tho bulk ofher oargo has been ta
ken cut and brought to tbe cuv, scnie of it
damaged. She is now being stripped, and ev
erything taken from her that can be got at.—
