COLXJMBXJS: Saturday Morning, August s* 1856. LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. * New Boat. The Florence, anew boat to run between this port and Apalachicola, built by Mr. Ilill, made her trial trip on Thursday last; and though she had some difficulties to contend with, her performances exceeded her promises. Her machinery was furnished by Messrs. Levy & Drake, of this city ; her accommodations are, about 25 passengers and 800 bales of cotton. Several prominent citizens were aboard on her trial trip, together with all concerned in her make and equipment. Good luck attend her, and plenty of work to do. Brooks and Burlingame. The cards of Messrs. Campbell and Burlin game occupy about three columns of the Na tional Intelligencer. We give below the con clusion of Mr. Burlingame’s remarks, which indeed is the only portion of special interest. We have to say, however, that Mr. Burlin game’s parallel, in which he intimates that it would have been as dangerous for him to come south of Mason and Dixon, as it would for Mr Brooks to go north of it, is not in our opinion a just one. The imputations upon Mr. Brooks’ courage, insinuated rather than declared, can do that gentleman no harm. Mr. Burlingame says: Os the conduct of Mr. Brooks in this affair I can scarcely trust myself to write. I owe it to truth to say that from what I had heard and seen of him prior to his assault on Mr. Sum ner I had formed a high opinion of him, and that act, which I have properly characterized, I did think must have been abhorrent to his better nature. In remembrunce of my opin ions of him, and feeling that through his mis conduct I could still detect traces of a gallant ry which some day might cause him to con demn as heartily as others do his assault on Mr. Sumner, I had a larger charity for him than had most of my friends. Indeed, 1 have been blamed for intimating the opinion that, in spite of that act, he was yet a brave man.— Even as late as in my conversation with Gen. Lane, when he stated that Mr. Brooks desired a speedy meeting, I felt a glow of admiration for him us a gallant l'oeman. But I was wrong. The expressions of kindness for him, in which, following a proclivity of my heart, I had in dulged, were entirely misplaced. Out of “re gard for his feelings,” inasmuch as he was so tender of mine, I will abstain from any further expression of my opinion, but leave men of honor to determine his position in view of his own conduct. In response to his numerous insinuations, let him take my scorn. Why did he linger in the District where he was exposed to arrest ? The imputation that my friends arrested him is unworthy even of him. Ido not kuow the man who did it. The dearest friends I had could get no clue from me of the affair. I thought Mr. Brooks was in earnest, and prepared mysolf to meet him sternly and without fail. If he was afraid to go to Canada, the nearest neutral ground, why did he not name some other place ? IVas 1 not, equally with himself, oxposed to the hazard of a foreign jurisdiction ? He could have reached thp place of meeting in a few hours, keeping most of the way in the States of Pennsylvania and Maryland. But this, he deemed “an ene my s country.” Where is the friend’s country lor mo ? Is it here where my comrados are smitten down without warning ; here, where, tO'inake the defence of free speech effectual, I, agaiust my early teachings and the deep root ed sentiments of my people, have been driven, that I might securo a little fair play and an approach to an equal chance, to consent to go to the field even with Mr. Brooks. I think Mr Brooks should not have based as many anticipations of danger to himself on the possibility of my falling. I have not heard that any body who had fair play ever fell be fore that arm whose single blow in the House its owner thought would have brought on a revolution. It would have been a happy cir cumstance for me had I shown half as much regard for my reputation as our “gallant” friend did for his life; then my name would not have been linked with one whose adroit ness in gettiug out of difficulty is only equall ed by his shrewdness in securing from an un suspecting man what he tried to construe into an endorsement of his courage. I can endorse it no longer, and now give him full notice. It is kind oi Mr. Brooks to hand me over to the reprobation of men, and then to proposo to admit me to the position of a gentleman, provided I will challenge him. He seems to have forgotten how in his “card” ho had just stated that it was said of mo that I “would not send but that I would accept a challenge. If I cannot hereafter praiso the gentleman’s courage I can commend his prudenco. This is revealed to us in the fact that without seeking another place of meeting ho rushes into print in such a way as to make me forget my tri umph in the sliame I fell at the conduct of my antagonist. As if suspecting that I might change the place, he closes the door against it by stating that he “should have no further de mands upon me.” I now dismiss, as far as I can, the ex-mem ber from South Carolina from my mind. Self respect requires mo to say that I can never again recognize—save to do him a kindness, if it should be in my power—Preston S. Brooks. I hand him over to that public, North and South, which is over scornful of those who boast much and perform little. And now I humbly submit myself to the people whose convictions I fear I have wound ed. I pray them to remember that forgiveness is a higher quality than justice. I cast myself on their generous hearts, which are always tender and always loving. Let them not for get, when passing on my conduct, the sneers l have seen and the taunts I have heard ; how the old State wo all love has been insulted and her cherished Senator stricken down, and how he yet lingers in almost hopeless illness As these of my own State remember these these things they will not entirely blame me because, in a moment of indignation 1 was willing to put my life at hazard, and what is dearer than life, reputatiou, for the insulted honor of those who have always been kind to me. lam no duellist. I seek no man.s life. I have but acted in the spirit of the speech, i made when I said that if pushed too long and too far there were men in the Old Bay State who would defend her honor and the freedom of speech on whatever field they might be assail ed. My course becamo to me a defeuce of liberty against slavery, a struggle for freedom of Bpeech against freedom of the bludgeon, and the only way almost which seemed left us hero by which we can defeini ourselves. A. BURLINGAME.” We see it stated that in transplanting trees, the side towards the North should be turned ( to the North when the tree is again set in the ground. By this means many trees are saved which would otherwise die. From the Bouton Dally Advertiser. How Banks may be Managed and Annual Reports be Prepared. In the course of a judgment in the case re lating to some of John Sadlier’s frauds in Ire land recently, the Master of the Rolls intro duced the following extraordinary letter, ad dressed to James Sadlier by John Sadlier. It bears date “London, December 3, 1855,” a few weeks previous to the final smash of the Tippcrnry Bank: TIPPERARY JOINT STOCK COMPANY. My Dear James: The accounts should be made out treating the paid up capital as £IOO,- 000 on the 31st of December, 1854 ; therefore the requisite number of shares to make this account square should be entered as vested in A. Ferrall, Esq., and he should be debited accordingly in an account in respect of the shares. The “reserved fuud” should be treated as £14,072 os. 3d. on tho 31st of December, 1854. It will not bo requisite to print and circulate among the Irish slaveholders a balance sheet; but, us all the English slaveholders are in the habit of getting from every bank in which they hold shares a printed balance sheet each half year, we must give them a printed balance sheet at least once a year, and for the year ending the 31st of December, 1855. By this means the present English share holders will double their present holdings in the Tipperary bank, and 1 dare say the bal ance of the £IOO,OOO stock will be quickly taken up. Now, I know many of the English joint stock banks, in order to give a good appearance to their balance, have constantly trebled the amount of their balances, etc., by making a series of entries, whereby they appeared to have assets and liabilities to four times the amount they really possessed or had. This has been always kept very quiet, and what at first was a kind of fiction, became gradually to be bona fide. I enclose you the figures I gave Law (i. e. Farmer John Law) and some few others, and the balance sheet for the year ending the 31st December, 1855, should be framed so as to tal ly with this balance sheet for the year ending December 31, 1854. An increase of about £30,000 in the item of customers’ balances, &c., should be made to appear. The item “trade fixtures” should be increased or decreased as you consider best. The way to show the customers’ balances up to say £759,223 lGs. 2d., or thereabouts, would boos course by crediting certain accounts, de posit or current accounts, or both, and debit ing certain other accounts for sums which in the whole would represent the same. For example, six or seven deposit receipts may be issued to me for such and such sums, amounting in the whole to £400,000 or £500,- 000, and then four or five accounts might be opened, such as: 1. Tho Southeastern Swiss Railway Company...£l63,ooo 2. The I'russiun Coal Company 157,000 3. The Rome anJ Frascati Railway Company.... 3o!('00 4. The Grand Junction Railway Company 48 000 5. Tho East Kent Railway Company 157^000 £561,000 and each of the foregoing accounts might be debitted with advances made to me as repre senting each of said companies to the extent of the sums I set opposite each of the five ac counts, and which sums would amount in all to £561,000. Then the deposit receipts for £21,500 grant ed to Backhouse might be added, and I should be debited with said sum in an account called John Sadlier, trustee in the Backhouse mort gage. All the foregoing accounts would be looked on as so many trust accounts obtained by ar ranging to advance as much as was received ; and, us the bank could not be called on to pay any of the deposit receipts so long as one pen ny was due on any of tbo accounts, the safety of the bank was perfect, and the question of interest both ways could be so adjusted as to work out enough profit to enable the bank to pay the 6 per cent, interest and three per cent bonus on the £IOO,OOO, and carry to the re serve fund a good sum, say £5,000. I hope you will seo this matter in the light I do. Perhaps I have not oufflciently explain ed the case, but I am sure I am right, and that the whole thing can be so managed as to defy any criticism, if such should be started, but of course we should not court any. When Igo over I can explain all. The books should bo kept open for the requisite entries. There is nothing to prevent the Tipperary Bank from doing what has been done in the Bank, and the Bank, and the Bank, and that is all I advise—namely, to open two accounts for A. B j to credit one account as having received from A. B. £IOO,OOO on deposit; to debit the other account £IOO,OOO, as having lent A. B. so much on the security of his deposit receipt, and his personal securi ty, of course. In every case the Tipperary Bank should receive tho deposit receipts and retain same as security. F. Law will send, or Mr. Kelly, the account of the money got on placing of shares, and not previously accounted for. Yours, affectionately, JOHN SADLIER. I enclose the prospectus. I did not see tho paper containing reference to O’Shea. A Fast Woman. Belle Britan the Newport correspondent of the New York Mirror, reports the following definition of a fast woman. Says she : “ I overheard a funny conversation last eve ning, between a gentleman and a lady who were promenading behind me, from which I learned the definition of a “fast woman.” Tho couple were discussing the attractions of a young lady, who receives a good deal of at tention hero from tho beaux--(such as we have)—when the gentleman remarked that he had not yet been able to discover the charms of the fair one in question. “O,” said the lady, “she is fast, and that’s what makes all the gentlemen like her.” “But what does that mean?” inquired the gentleman, a little rogu ishly, “Why,” said the lady, “a fast woman is one that you can say anything to.” 1 thought I should have droppod. Remarkable Snake. A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, wiiting from Tully, Lewis county, Missouri, says: I saw yesterday one of the greatest natural curiosities now extant—a snake with two heads, one at each extremity. The body was about two feet long and two inches in diame ter in the centre. The snake was well form ed, large iu tho centre, and gradually ta pers to each end, with two perfect heads in every respect. But the most novel thing to witness was its actions towards the gentleman that caught it, running one way with as much ease apparently as the other, with both tongues out, each raging apparently with anger. 1 have no doubt many of your readers will lock upon this as false, (a snake story,) but it is a fact, and can be vouched for by many of our most respectable citizens. Gov. Gardner’s letter of acceptance is so conciliatory, it is said the whole Fremont vote will be cast for him. Encouraging Symptom. Under this caption, the N. Y. Post, (Black Republican) has the following: George B. Butler has parted with his interest in the Journal of Commerce —a quarter', we believe—for $55,000, and is no longer connec ted with that journal. One of the motivos which is said to have infiuenced Mr. Butler in tak ing this step is the present unsettled state of affairs, which indisposes him to leave any pecuniary interests in jeopardy. He freely ex presses his conviction that tho election of Col. Fremont to the Presidency would very ma terially diminish the value of all kinds of property in this quarter, and in parting with his interest in The Journal, he has exhibited the caution of a good seanmn, by taking in Bail before a storm. We have heard of sev eral bets being made that Fremont would be elected, but this is the largest financial opera tion, based upon his chances of success, which has yet come to ourknowledge. An editotial prepared for to-day, is necesa rily omitted from want of room for the article upon which its comments. Our items, of all sorts, are so scaece to-day, we have thrown them all together. The tele graph was in working order, but there was little news to be sent over it. The New Governor of Kansas. An exchange give the following sketch of Gov. Shannon’s successor in Kansas: Col. Geary is a little less than forty years of age, and has held high civil and military posi tions. He was born inPennsylvania, gradua ted at Jefferson College in that State; was for many years a civil engineer; was elected to be Colonel of the Second Pennsylvania regiment in the Mexican war; where lie distinguished himself by great bravery and military skill; was appointed by President Polk in the year 1848. to proceed to California as Post Master of San Francisco with the extraordinary com mission to arrange the postal matters of that State ; was subsequently appointed by General Riley to be Judge or Alcade in and for the dis trict of San Francisco, with power to organize and establish a police force for that city, and was elected first Maj'or of the city of San Francisco under a city charter, and was ap pointed by the State Legislature as a member of the Board of Commissioners for the funded debt. He is represented as admirably fitted for the wise discharge of the duties of the of fice to which the President has appointed him. Lola Montezis still kicking up a muss gen erally in Australia. Her agent, on excusing her for not playing one evening, she being in disposed, was successful in satsfying all but one fellow, who had come fifty miles to see Lola, and asked Lola’s agent what he expected to do about it. “I shall be happy to see you at the bar,” was the reply, when about one hundred and fifty followed out and drank at Lola’s expense. The Albany and Porpoise. Tbo public will be grattified to learn that amongst the bills from the Senate passed by the House on Friday, was one to provide pen sions for the widows and orphans of the offi cers and crews of the lost sloop-of-war Al bany and the brig Porpoise, the first to run form the 18th of April, and the latter from the 29th of June 1855. Gold Discovery Immense placers of gold liave t latelyj been discovered in the South, in the State of Guer rero, which hoid out the most flattering hopes. Some persons have recently arrived in this city who have been making extensive explora tions in the country adjacent to Riodel Ora, which have verified the assertions heretofore made on the subject. Everywhere gold dust, and also veins of that metal, are said to be abundant and of a superior quality even to those of California, so that with justic the stream on whose margins the metal is found is rightly called Gold River. But these placers have been long known to exist, for even in 1852, in a report of all that country, made by Col. Kamsey to a company in New York es pecial attention was called to these gold mines existing on this tributrry of the Meschal.— Mexican Extraordinary. Another Scion of ihe Bourbon Stock. Ferdinand of Naples, is outraging personal and political liberty in his dominions, and in every way enacting the tyrant, laughing to scorn the while Fi ance and England, who have been, at a great sacrifice of dignity, begging he may have the goodness not to render their interference with his government absolutely imperative. Now, King Ferdinand of Naples knows, that bo his tyrrany never so grinding, ever so notorious, those Powers will not inter fere with him positively, lest that interference give to the revolutionary wheel in Italy the first movement, which only it requires to be come, if not irresistible, universal. He will not, therefore, deny himself a singlo act of cruelty or depositism. The N. Y. Courier talks of digging up, hanging, quartering, and burning the bones of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. This resurrection movement is rather a dan gerous one for Gen. Webb to recommend. Suppose, for instance, Nicholas Biddle’s bones should come back and ask Webb for the $52,- 000 which opened his eyes to the necessity of re-chartering the U. S. bank! What would old “mahogany stock ” say to such an appari tion? Atlantic anil Gulf Railroad. We learn that a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Savannah, Albany, and Gulf Railroad Company, was held yesterday, at which it was resolved to call a Convention of the people of Southwestern Georgia, and oth ers interested in the Main Trunk Railroad, to meet at Thomasville on the 4th September, for deliberation and consultation with a view to the prosecution of tho Atlantic and Gulf or Jdain Trunk Railroad chartered by the last Legislature. We are gratified to learn that such a measure has been determined on, as by it an opportunity will be afforded for the re presentation and consideration of interests. We trust that it may lead to a good under standing, and that we may yet see secure the proffered aid of the State in the construction of a road so much needed by the section through which it is designed to pass. We un derstand that an address to the people of South western Georgia has been prepared by the Board, which will bo inserted in the course of a few days.— Sar. Eeus, 31*1 ult. The Earl of Cork, who died recently, was once tried at the Old Bailey, in London, for picking pockets. He was in Covcnt Garden, where some light fingering gentry were ope rating, and an alarm having been created, one of them managed to put a handkerchief which he had stolen into the nobleman’s pocket, for having which!in his possession the Earl was placed on trial. Upou the facts becoming known, however, he was acquitted. The Leigh-street Baptist Church, at Rich mond, have unanimously called to their pul pit the Rev. Edward G. Baptist, of Alabama. GENERAL ITEMS. A Tornado passed over Cincinnati on Wed- | nesdny which destroyed much property. A Cavalry Corps has been raised in Union s District, South Carolina, called the “Brooks | Chargers”—J. B. Hilliard, Captain. The Jefferson Block of buildings, Boston, was burned on Wednesday. Loss b 70,000. Seven persons were killed by the tailing of the walls. The steamer J. Larkin was burned near St. Louis, on Tuesday—loss, SIOO,OOO. lhe steamer John Jay was burned on Lake George a few days since, und a number of passengers perished. A Schenectady editor, describing the effects of a squall upon a canal boat says, “when the gam was at its highest, the unfortunate craft keeled to larboard, and the captain and an other cask of whisky rolled overboard.” A Washington dispatch says : “In addition to Mr. Burlingame’s arrest this morning, he was this evening taken in custody by his wife who has arrived from Boston, and he is thus in double bonds to keep the peace.” A large portion of the most valuable part of the cargo of the ship George A. Ilopley, re cently wrecked on the Irish Coast, will be saved. The vessel will be a total wreck. Mr. Harris, an engineer, killed at the time of the recent collision on the North Pennsyl vania Railroad, was the third son of his fami ly killed by railroad accidents. It is stated that there are two brothers of another family now in the employ of the Reading Railroad each of whom has lost a leg. Hannibal Hamlin has accepted the Black Republican nomination for Governor of Maine. He proposes to address tho people of every county of the State before the election, and to resign his office of Senator in case the De mocrats carry the State. The Sandy Ilill Herald states that at the funeral of an aged and respectable citizen of Warren county, on Sunday, the 13th instant, the officiating clergyman, after the close of his sermon, presented a large package of Black Republican papers, and laying them upon the table, requested the audience each to take a copy as they left the house. Not long since, a “Friend,” who rejoiced in the name of Comfort, paid his devoirs to a young and attractive Quaker widow named Rachel H. Either her griefs were too new, or her love too old, or from other causes, his of fer was declined. Whereupon a Quaker friend remarked: “That it was the first modern in stance he had known where Rachel refused to be Comforted.” The anecdote is remarkable as being the first Quaker pun on record. Advices from the coast of Labrador to the Ist instant, state that Green Island was visited by a terrible and most disastrous hurricane. Out of a fleet of thirty vessels, twenty-nine were totally wrecked—names unknown. Tho gale extended to Dog Island, where three more large vesseles were lost, and their crews per ished. The loss is very heavy, and only partly insured. Astronomers expect the appearance, this year, of the comet of 1856, called Charles V., and so named from having, according to some historians, caused that monarch to abdicate and retire to the convert of St. Just. It is thought to be the identical wandering star which appeared in 1264, in 995, and in 683. Its return was looked for 1848, but it failed to appear. John Arnold, the porter of Jones’ Hotel, Philadelphia, was arrested last week, charged with having abstracted $520 in gold from the . trunk of M. Moses from South Carolina. It was alleged by Mr. Moses that his trunk was taken in charge by Arnold on the evening of his arrival, and not carried to his room until next morning, and when he (Moses) opened it the money was gone. Arnotd was held in SI,OOO bail to answer at Court. By the last arrival, we have the following miscellaneous items of foreign news: On the 15th ult., the Queen reviewed 14,000 Crimean troops at Aldershott Camp. John Frost, the Chartist exile, has rejoined his family, residing near Bristol. Professor Frazer is elected to the Chair of Logic, in Edinburgh University. The Paris Moniteur publshes a list of Brit ish soldiers decorated with the Legion of Hon or. The British Government has sent out troops to the Cape of Good Hope to prevent an ap prehended rebellion. The Parliamentary Committee on Decimal Coinage will not be able to report during the present session. Somo disturbance have occurred iu Copen hagen from the preaching of Mormons. The military arrested tho offenders. The Emperor of Austria’ granted an exten sive amnesty, on the occasion of the birth of his second doughter. The Emperor Nicholas is reported to have left a memoir of his reign, to be published five years hence. The trial of William Dove, for poisoning by means of strychnine, was going on at York, and elicited attention second only to the Pal mer trial. The King of Holland has appointed a Com missioner to report upon tho means of expand ing the Dutch Eastern Commerce, the Isthmus of Suez Canal, &c. The German Zollverein have effected their object of a Custom House at Bremen, and will levy duties and establish bonded warehouses there. Most of tho goods smuggled into the Zollverein came through Bremen. The Prussian Government has sent the dis banded soldiers of the Greek Legion back to Greece, but the Greek Government refuses to receive them, and calls upon tho British for assistance to refuse them. The Queen has granted five years exclusive privilege to Messrs. Lord, Hudson and llen slmw of Liverpool to sell guano on three is lands off tho south coast of Arabia recently ceded by Imaum Muscat. Tbo Committee of the House of Lords have recommended that all executions henceforth should take place within the jail precincts, as inthe United States, but no interference is con templated with tho usages of capital punish ment in British North America or Australia. The Crimea was entirely evacuated, except that the allied ships were carrying away hewn stone aud iron from Sevastopol. Geu. Luders had given orders to respect the graves of the Allies. Mnrshal Pallissier had landed at Constantinople. The Liverpool papers state that the difficul ties between Grent Britain and the United States, are in a fair way of adjustment, aud that great assistance has been rendered by William Brown, M. P., iu the discussions be tween Mr. Dallas and Lord Palmerston, which is confidently believed will prevent a rupture between the two countries. Mechanics’ Union. Columbus, July 31. A meeting of this Association was held this evening in the Grand Jury Room, and was largely attended. The list of membership was opened, and seven additional signatures obtained. A communication was read from Professor Darby, of Auburn, Ala., in reply to one from the President of tho Union, accepting an invi tation to deliver a preliminary lecture before the Association, at such time as may be agreed upon. Messrs. A. D. Brown, R. T. Simons and M. N. Clark were appointed a committee to arrange for the lecture, which is to be the first of a course in contemplation by the Union. The committee appointed to procuro a room for regular meetings, asked for further time, which was granted. Messrs. M. N. Clark, J. D. Baldwin and Lewis C. Allen, were appointed a committee to revise the Constitution and By-Laws, and report, at next meeting. Mr. M. N. Clark offered a resolution, pro viding for a Badge to be worn by members of the Union on all public occasions. Adopted. The subject of a Library for the use of mem bers of the Association was then discussed, but no final action taken. At 10 o’clock the Union adjourned to Thurs day evening next, 8 o’clock, at theGrnndJury Room. A. D. BROWN, President. F. M. Gray, Sec’ry. pro tern. Congressional. July 30.—1n the United States Senate to day nothing of importance transpired. .The House passed a bill for the settlement of the claims of revolutionary officers and their orphans. The Kansas election case will be discussed to-morrow. Stuart Royal Family. Few writers in our day have a word of de cent civility for the family of Stuart. It would be curious to trace its hereditary character to the chief line ; our present purpose is only to remark on the greatness attained by some men who descended maternally from it. We need scarcely say that the mother of William of Orange was a Stewart princess. The mother of Cromwell was beyond all doubt, of one branch of the family. So was the mother of the Admirable Crichton ; and of the famous soldier Alexander Lesley, first Earl of Levem Chatham was nearly and directly from theroy al stem, through his grandmother—a descend ant of the Regent Murray. Fox’s mother, Lady Lenox, was immediately descended from Charles 11. Byron had the blood in his veins. Beet Brandy. If beets progress in the estimation of man kind for half a century to come as they have progressed in past years, they will soon be one of the most highly prized of vegetables. It has long been known that they are not only a welcome addition to the dinner board, but that they furnish excellent sugar for the tea table. Recently an enterprising chemist announced to the word that they might be converted into capital paper, aud now it has been discovered that the very best of brandy may be distilled from the best juice. It is estimated that from the produce of an acre of ground, planted with beets, seven hundred gallons of brandy were manufactured. The Rochester Union notices a singular es cape on the Central Railroad, near Lochport. A small boy, son of Mr. Richardson, was struck by the locomotive, and thrown a dis tance of 85 feet by actual measurement. The fireman said he first saw the child in the air some fifteen feet from the ground, and suppos ed it was a dog. Though at first insensible, the child had nearly recovered. Aunt Mary whilst going along the street the other day, saw over the tailor’s door a sign bearing the inscription, “ Fountain of Fash ion.” Ah exclaimed she, “that must hejb* place where squirts come from,” a the^ U 6 time casting a malignant squint at a cour>T WU young men with incipient whiskers ana“u®.fi f ing collars.

Campbell, in relation to the Brooks and Burlingame affair: lrom the spirit of Col. B’s note I was induc ed to hope that no hostile action would result from the meeting which he invited. I believed that the retired place I had designated, being accessible by one day’s travel, in a cool, health ful and magnificently picturesque region, re mote from the excitements of metropolitan life, would be far more appropriate in the hot season than any point in the region of the Dis trict of Columbia; but Mr. Brooks seems to set out with the assumption that his note was in spirit, if not in form, a hostile message, or in other words, a challenge. Something New. W. D. Porter, inthe New York Herald, points out anew way to discover murderers. He says: The following method will, in many cases, detect the perpetrators of a murder: It is well known that all objects are actually painted or impressed upon the retina of the eye. Should a person die by a violent death, the object be fore the eye at the time remains impressed on the retina. If the covering of the eye is scraped down thin, and a powerful magnifying glass applied, this image will be distinctly seen This was the first discovery of the daguerro type. Any scientific physician can do this. What do we often drop yet never stoop to pickup? A hint. CAMPAIGN DOCUMENTS. By tlie first of August, we shall issue a campaign document—about the size of the ordinary weekly papers in the State—tilled with matter of deep interest to all persons who feel interested in the present campaign.— It will contain— Buchanan's 4th of July Oration, denouncing the War and the Madison Administration ; his Speeches and Let terson the Slavery Question, showing him to have been always opposed to the extension of slavery, and in favoi of the principles of the Wllmot Proviso or Squatter Sov ereignty ; his Os tend Circular, proving him a Filibuster, ready to rob Spain of her territory; and his Letter of Aoceptance.
