On Wednesday last five thousand Democrat? and
Old Line Wltigs—nnw constituting one solid body
of patriots, nnired by a common deration to the
Constitution sod tbe integrity of the Union assem
bled at Ashland in response to an invitation from
the Hon. James B Clay, thereto interchangetbeir
wai m congratulations and commingle their heart
felt rejoicing upon tlie recent triumph of principle
over higher Taw fanaticism, and of political equal
ity and freedom of conscience over natal and religi
ons proscription. Thlsglorionsre-union w as instiga
ted by no spirit of ungenerous exultation over a
fallen foe, as it was not its pnrpo»p to- celebrate a
party or personal victory however brilliant, it is
true"that p-rsonal detraction had been resorted *o
by our opponents, and piivate malignity indulged
to an unprecedented extent, in view of his most
gratifying vindication by the free von s of an in
telligent and honest people, Mr. Clay might with
stric* proprity have called those true and generous
friends who had sustained hits to break bread with
him at h is table. But tbe absorbing interest of the
great questions involved in the contest, and the
momentous importance of its issue overshadowed
dll persona! exultation, and made the occasion one
of purely patriotic jov.
A local faction based upon natal prejudice and
religious bigotry had fallen crushed and condemn
ed before a national party, organized upon great
principles of constitutional rigirt The Constitu
tion had been vindicated againkl the assaults of an
organized public sentiment, which sought to in
augurate a popular movement in direct antagon
ism to one of its fundamental principles. The
great ideas ol ft eedora of conscience, universal to
leration and equality of political rights, regardless of
religious faith or place of nativity, were once more
emphatically proclaimed by tbe people. Partisan
associations had been forgotten, old party predilec
tions overcome, passion and prejudice subordina
ted. and Kentucky had righted herself in line with
the friends of the Adininistraton, ip import of the
Urtion^AJu’.il^njJj^jLjot, and the laws of the land.
Upon snch an occasion it was but natural and
right that those who had united there bauds and
voice* in the achievement ot so glorious a victory,
should meet around the festive board, there to
commemorate the grandest and most brilliant tri
umph yet chronicled in our political annals.
And what place more appropriate to the celebra
tion of such a success than tbe shades of Ashland !
Where a more Siting spot, for the assemblage of
Whigs and Democrats, who in tin-ir hive lor the
Republic cast immeasurably behind them old an
imosities, and rallied shoulder to shoulder in its
detencef The youngest among us have not vet
forgotten that when the old sage of Ashland return
ed home in 1850, a vast concourse of his fellow-
citizens, composed of just such elements as those
who on Wednesday gathered around his son, met
in one grand Union Festival to da him honor,—
Nor have his prophetic words uttered at I rnnk-
fort, yet ceased to wring in the ears othis friends
and admirers. With far-sighted statesmanship,
he predicted the present array of parties upon a
sections! basis, and with devoied love to the Union,
he counseled all who had in time past heeded his
words, in such an event to plant themselves under
that banner upon which was inscribed the Consti
tution, and to support that party which promised
protection to the Union, whether it should
he called Whig or Democratic. These words of
patriotism were received by bis son as a sacred
legacy, and with boldness and firmness of purpose,
be has sustained the position in which their ac
ceptance placed him.
A host ot true friends, who had ever been con
sistent and unflinching Whi gs, remembered, too,
the words of their trusted leader, and in the new
political d .-volopments of the country placed them
selves in theexact position he had indicated. Tin-ir
alliance and co-operation at such a time secured
them the confidence and gratitude ol their old op
ponents, and ihe Democracy attested, too, their ut
ter obliteration of aid party animosities, by placing
their stan Urd in a most important struggle in the
hands of an Old Line Whig and the son of the old
leader of that party. Fearlessly he seized it. and
gallantly ho borne it to victory. Where then
could those who had obeyed the dying advice
of his faiher more appropriately meet to commem
orate the triumph of that Union he loved so
well, than under those shades where he had often
matured great schemes for its protection and pius-
perity. The time, place and surrounding circum
stances were most fitting and auspicious fur such
festivities.
The day will long be remembered by our friends
of the Eighth District, and those visitors who were
present, as ihe happiest and most agreeable ever
passed. Roars of artillery and delightful bands of
music enlivened the festive scenes, while the pat
riotic emotions of the vast multitude were kept in
constant glow by eloquent speeches from several
distinguished strangers and the laurelled victors in
our own battles.
The Vice President, the non. John C. Breckin
ridge, in a few happy remarks congratulated his
old constituency upon the happy auspices under
which he again appeared before them, alluded
brifly to the deep significance and thorough suc
cess of the triumph hut recently achieved, and after
according to the laureled victors of the hardly
fought battle their meed ot praise, not forge.t-
ting those gallant chieftains whose duty had
called them to the brunt of the fight and had only
fallen before overwhelming forces, he proceeded to
introduce to the audience the promient speakers of
the day.
The Hon. James B. Clay next appeared upon tlie
stand amid the hearty plaudits of an admiring as
sembly, and very briefly referred to the character
of the struggle from which they had but just so
triumphantly emerged. The glorious success
then being celebrated he gracefully attributed to
the deep love of the people for the great principles
involved; thanked them kindly for the prominent
position which he had been called to occupy, ttnd
concluded by welcoming them to Ashland.
Gov. A. B. Willard of ludiana was next intro
duced. The deep applause which hailed his ap
pearance, must have Leen to him a grateful ac
knowledgment of the appreciation which his pat
riotic devotion to our rights, and his unflinchiug
defense of the Constitution, are held by the honest
masses of Kentucky. Partisan editors and factious
leaders may slander him, whose political life has
been passed in uncompromising battle against tlie
fanatical aggressors upon Southern interests but
such detraction will sink beneath contempt when
go intelligent a multitude of true Kentuckians of
both parties extend to him the hand of welcome,
and with warm applaus 0 receive him as an hon
ored guest among us. Gov. Williard said he came
here to congratulate our people upon the brilliant
success which had crowned their late efforts; to
thank them in the name of the Northern Democra
cy for the true position Kentucky' had at las as
sumed tn the lino of battle, as well as by his pre
sence and congratulations to testify his grateful
appreciation of the services rendered the cause of
the Constitution and the Union, by the Hon. James
B. Clay in the memorable Gubernatorial contest
of 1856 in Indiana.
The Hon. Charles Anderson of Cincinnati, one
of tbe gallaut corps of old line Whigs, and in-past
years a prominent and devoted friend and admirer
of the departed Sage of Ashland, was present to
mingle his rejoicing with that of his confederate
Whigs and the Democracy upon the triumph of
the cause in which they all stood as allies. Mr.
Anderson's remarks were chaste and eloquent.
He dealt some telling blows upon the Southern
Fillmore men who stood quietly by, to use bis own
figure, with shotted guns when the great armies of
the Union and tlie Constitution, and of higher law-
fanaticism were engaged in deadly strife, and yet
discharged not one volley in the conflict. A
Kentuckian by birth, a -Southern man in feeling
and national in principle, Mr. Anderson entered
fully into the patriotic joy of the vast concourse.
The Hon. Win. Preston responded in a most
happy and eloquent manner to the repeated calls
for his appearance. Col. Preston was not one of
those Whigs who had awaited the final disintegra
tion of the Whig party, ero he abandoned its
fortunes and allied himself to the Democracy.
He had foreseen the catastrophe, early predicted
the present position of parties, and w ith fearless
boldness had planted himself under the b nner of
that party w hich time has proven alone posseses
the power to protect the Republic from the attacks
of fanatics and disunionists. His remarks were
weH timed, eloquent and pointed.
At the conclusion of Col. Preston’s speech din
ner was announced, and the happy multitude
gathered around the festive board to partake of
the well prepared and bountiful supply of good
things with which they were regaled.
In the afternoon, Col. Thos. H. Holt ofLouis-
Tille, he who so gallantly entered the thickest of
the battle, and nothing daunted by overwhelming
opposition, bravely bore himself to glorious defeat,
Col. A. G. Talbott, the war horse of the Fourth
District, Gov. A. A. Hamnmnd and Ihe Hon. John
L. Robinson worthy types of the Northern De
mocracy, Gov. Chas. A. Wickliffe, the veteran
statesman, who had been drawn from an honored
retirement by his devotion to the great principles
of religious freedom and civil equality and w ho
had by his zeal and ability contributed so largely
to crush out the infamous heresies of Know-Noth-
, ingism, Col. Thos. P. Porter, the invincible of
the adjoining Senatorial District, the Hon. Win 8.
Darnaby, our able Senator elect, and Col. C. C.
Smedley of Mercer, the favorite orator with the
people, a ]] contributed by brief but eloquent
speeches to add zest tn the enjoyment of the day.
The whole day passod off without an unpleas

with tlie greatest nicety, or stop it altogether, by
decreasing ur increasing the friction of the cable on

rate at which tbe ship is go.ng, and the rate.-it which
the cabie is paying out; and tbe very simple con

that both should correspond. Great admiration
was expressed of the arrangement and the
perfection with which it worked, by many of the
scientific gentlemen who examined it during the
day.
Shortly after one o’clock a boat, well manned
jfrom the American vessel, was let down, and one
of the paddle box boats of the Leopard, with a
screw, was placed imio. oiately under the stern
of the Niagar«.y.‘hs3 the operation of paying out
tLc shore end of the cable commenced. His Ex
cellency had just before disembarked in order to
be at the place of landing in time to receive tbe
cabie on its being brought to shore. The proper
complement having been coiled in tlie boat, a sec
ond pladdle box boat belonging to the same vessel
took her place, which in turn was succeeded by a
boat from the Susquehanna. Aftet the Susque
hanna there come up a large steamtug, the Wil
ling Mind, on tbe deck of w hick about as much of
the cable was coiled as wa3 placed in the other
three boats I may add that the regular index of
the machinery indicat' d to the yard tbe quantity
coiled into each boat, and as tbe boats were suc
cessively l.-tden they were connected with strong
io-.v topes, and the Admiralty steam vessel, the
Advice, steamed up to tow them.
The boats were at this time thus arranged:—
The Advice taking the lead, having on board Mr.
Raymond, master comticiiidaut; Dr. Stevenson. R.

were arranged in the following order:

Air. Brooking, Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee of tlie Atlantic Telegraph Company, then
presented himself. He a id, after the eloquent
and spirit-stirring address of his Excellency, I w ill
not deiay you longer than to acknowledge, on the
part of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, our
1 sense of tlie kindness of his Excellency, not only
tor the. great compliment paid to us by bis approv

convenience he put bunself to in coming here to
day to render to us the great and important ser
vice of inaugurating this event.. I beg to propose
that three cheers be given for his Excellency-the
Lord Lieutenant.
The proposal was heartily responded io.
Air. Cyrus Field, the projector of the Atlantic
Telegraph Company, was then called upon. He
•aid: I have no words to express the feelings
which fill my heart to-night. It beats with love
and affection for every man, woman and child
who hears me. [Cheers.] I may say, however,
that if ever, at the other side of the waters new
before us, any of you shall present yourselves at
by the Atlanta fntel/rgcneer, was, “that irhen the
Legislature passed the resolution, to which Judge
Brown re ferred, tlie alien feature of the Kansas bill
hud not then been inserted in it, and, therefore, the
Leuislnlure did net apjirute the lull as it irus afterwords
passed."
The Congressional Globe, unfortunately for Mr.
Hill, does not sustain him in this statement.—
Tlie resolution of the Legislature was passed on
the 17th of February, 1854—the Cl.mto.v amend
ment, striking out the alien suffrage clause of tbe
bill, and restricting the right of voting nnd of
holding office in the Territories, to the citizens t.f
the United States, was not .-.dopted until the 2d
day of March. 1854. Tlie Legislature of 1853—4,
therefore, in endorsing the Kansas-Nebrnska act,
nnd making its support a test of fidelity to the
South endorsed the alien suffrage features of
the bill .which had not then been stricken out.
But there is a later endorsement of that feature
of the bill, not by the Legislature—but by the Amer
ican party. Tlie Knnsas-Nebraska bill, reported
from the committee of territories, passed the Sen
ate on the 3d of March, 1854—the alien suffrage
clause having been sttieken out on tbe flay pre
ceding its passage by the adoption of the CUVTUN
amendment, and in that shape it was sent to the
House. There when it came up to be acted upon,
Mr. Kicii.iRD.soN, of Illinois, moved as a substitute
for the Senate bill, a bill identical with that bill,
ns it would have been if the CLAYTON amendment
had not been adopted by the Senate—a bill, in other
words, containing the original alien suffrage clause,
which had been sticken out by the Senate. That
bill, containing alien suffrage passed the House and
afterwards (we belive on the 3 th of May, 1854,) pas
sed the Senate and received the approval of l’resi-
dent Pierce. We have seen that the Legislature
of Georgia, oti the 17th of Febuary, 1854, endorsed
the feature of alien suffrage then in the Kansas bill
before theSenate-the followingn-sointion will show
that the American party of Georgia endorsed tlie fea-
tur of alien suffrage in that bill as it was finally pas
sed;
Kcsotrcd, Tliat this Council, while repudiating
the policy of allowing in the future legislation of
tlie country, uimatuahzed foreigners to vote in the
Territorial election, regards all opposition to tlie
principles of the Nebraska-Kansas act, in relation
to slavery, as -hostility to the constitutional rights
of the 8uuUi: and nil person wlu> partake in such
opposition, as unfit to be nu utbeis of tbe American
party.
This resolution was passed by the State Council
of the American party of Georgia which met at
Macon on the27th of June, It".5—more than u
year alter the passage of the Kansas act. and more
than two.trumths after the first election under it in
the Territory of Kansas, had resulted by the aid of
alien coters,ia the choice of a pro-slur rry legislature.
It is au explicit endorsement of the Kansas act—
its squatter surerrigtrty, alie n sujrage, and every uther
oUecliteaable feature included—and commits the
American party fully to its support.
We submit, if those who are now opposing that
bill, denouncing it, aud inveiging against it, be

Dear Jef:—You aredoubtlesss looking fora let
ter fr«>m m<: by this .i n-. I have just rctu.ned
iroin a tour out West Surveying. Tile weatlier is
extremely hot and dry in this sectiou of the coun
try, yet the crops look fine and appear to be grow
ing. Politics and tauaticism are raging to a con
siderable extent in this country. The political
canvass for delegates to Congress has commenced:
politicians, office-seekers, demagogues, and wire-
work-rs, are all busy. Ex-Gov. Ransoms, form -r-
!v of Michigan, is the democratic standard-bearer.
He is a firm, reliab e, national democrat. His pros
pects for being elected are promising, notwith
standing he has a very talented young man for his
opponent. But democracy aud its principles are
like tried gold, the more you rub it the brighter it
gets. fain sonry tn see the democratic party of
(leorsia passing resolutions condemning Gov. II al-
l.er of this Territory. The democracy of Kansas
sustain him. They know the difficulties under which
lie has to labor, and those who know him best art bis
warmest anti best friends. J would sooner think that
a mother would forsake her own offspring, than to
think that Gar. IValker would forsake, the South arid
her institutions. Gov. Walker remains neutral on
all the great questions that divide the people in
this Territory. In speaking of the effect of soil,
climate and pr .duct-mindon mil ngt!i -great ques
tion of Afi ican slave labor in Kansas Territory, be
said nothing but what was true: ho said no more
titan southern senators and southern Representa
tives said at the time of the passage of the Kan
sas and Nebraska act. In short, he said nothing
but the truth: He did not say, however, that
African slave labor could not bo made profitable in
Kansas Territory. I believe that it can and will
be made profitable in this Territory. 'Ihe culture
of hemp and tobacco require slave labor, and can
bo employed more profitable in this country than
than it ear, in any of the Southern States in rais
in'* cotton, rice or sugar. We cannot see the
propriety of Southern inen taking such grave ex
ceptions to anything that Gov. Walk- r has said in
Kansas. The pro-slavery democrats of Kansas
Territory sustain him. who watch him with a critic’s
eye, and on the other hand, all the black republican and
free-soil papers denounce him and say that be is no
brtler that a birder ruffian. Gov IValker is regarded
hij utt good men in Kansas Territory, as being a wise,
just, nnd impartial executive, and l think that it
would be lies'far outsiders to lie low and keep s'ill
anti! we complain. With regard to the delegates
that are elected to form a State Constitution, they
will convene at the Capitol on the first Alonday in
September next, a large majority of these men are
pro-slaverv, and there is no doubt but that they
will form a constitution with a clause recognizing
African slave labor. I think it very uncertain
whether or not it will bo submitted to the ratifica
tion of the people after it is formed, frcm the fact
that tlie people voted undcrstandingly at the time
of electing the delegates; they all declared them
selves in favor of, or against African slavery.
Since the election of these delegates, the emigrant
aid society, and fantieism in the North, have
empti-d their poorh uses and penitentiaries, and
sent them out here with ent-throats, paupers and
thieves, and they now have a considerable majority.
It is my opinion that they will freeze and perish
out during the next wiuter. So if it is submitted
to the people at all, it will only be to rho.se that
had their names registered by the 15th day of
March last, and up to that time we had a majority
in the Territory, It is the policy of the black re
publican party to keep up the excitement in Kan
sas Territorv and prevent it from being admitted
as a State until tlie election of the next President,
in 183 1, To settl-the difficulties in Kansas would
destroy their thunder, take away their capital,
and their party would cease to exist for tlie want of
it. They have attempted to put. their bogus laws
in forcein Lawrence. Gov. Walker being apprised
of their intention issued a proclamation, qnd call-d
out a portion of the United States troops, and put
an end to their treasonable conduct at once. The
troops are stid in Lawrence, and I think will re
main there fur the purpose of enforcing the laws
in collecting the revenue. They say that tliey
will fight tbe troops before they will pay any taxes.
I am of tin-opinion we will bavea collision when
the tax gatherer starts out, and if so. there is no
telling wh-re it will stop. The black republican
party desire a dissolution of the Union. Jim Lane
is traveling over the Territory making inflamatory
speeches, urging the free-state people to organize
military companies in each county for the purpose
of making resistance to the Territorial laws. If
a collision should occur, I will ke-p you posted.
I am, witu high regard, yours truly.

The idea th it a'thin spare habit is natural some is
1 to entirely erroneous; for in every instance it is tbe
j result of disease, either heridirary or produced by
| natural causes. Asa matter for consideration by
j Bliysiciaus, this one lias been almost totally disre
garded : and one of greater importance can scarce
be mentioned ; important not only from the fact
I that vital organs are diseased, and also because of
' that disease, beauty of form nnd comliness are
I sacrificed.
i Let. us now look into the cause of this trouble.
J What is it ? Why this shrunken, lean and bony
! condition 1 It is a faulty nutrition; the body is
j imperfectly nourished, from the fact that good, rich
' and h althy blood is not present, and through
which alone can the body be well nourished and
developed. Why is not good, rich ami healthy
blood present ?—for certainly, in many cases, there
is no lack of appetite, or of good, substantial and
wholesome food, and a plenty of it which makes
good blood. Tito reason is simple—for although
there is 110 wanting of appetite, or of good food,
and in abundance, yet the food is not taken up,
and carried into she circulation, or at any rate but
a small portion of it—and why?—Because of the
congested slate, of the. digestive organs. This is the
trouble—the system is in that precise same state
that it would be were it in a half-starved condi
tion.
It is plain, that our remedial measures must be
directed to tbe dig- s ive organs, (or it is by the con
gestion of these organs tiiat this shrunken, atten
uated and bony condition is brought about. What
[shall bo our remedies ? Those that will remove
the congested state and restore them to healthy
condition. In advance of all other remedial
| means, is the using of Buss’ Dyspeptic Remedy.
and the following out of all the directions accoinpa-
nying it, and by so doing and persevering in the
taking of the remedy, not only every vestige of tlie
disease will be removed, but a gradual aud steady
improving in flesh and rotundity of form will be the
1 esult.
It is the experience of every one. and has been
made the subject of remarks by those who have
taken the Remedy for some time, that it makes
them to gain in flesh ; and If I have been under
stood above, it will now be seen how it does it, viz;
by removing the congested state of tbe digestive
organs which prevents the manufacture of good,
healthy blood and consequently proper nourishment
of the bodv.

The Frospcrls in Pennsylvania,
From tlie tone of the democratic press and the
feelings which animates the democracy in their
primary meetings, we feel assured that the result
of the pending contest in Pennsylvania will
be in keeping with the brilliant triumphs which
have been achieved this month throughout the
South by tbe friends of tbe Union and tbe constitu
tion. The Philadelphia Argus, in issuing the
first number of its cauipagiu paper, thus alludes
to the prospi cts of the canvass in Penusylvania:
“It is a source of special gratification tons to
convey to our friends in all parts of the State, aud
also to the very many out ot the State who have
manifested a lively and earnest concern for tho
success of the Pennsylvania democracy in the ap
proaching gubernatorial canvass, the cheering in
telligence tiiat is reaching us from every quarter
as to the bold and gallant bearing of our demo
cratic friends, and rite resolution that everywhere
inspires them 10redeem our noble old.Oommon-
wcalth from know nothing and abolition misrule.
Tbe various county nominating and preliminary
conventions are now being held, and not only do
we find everywhere the best feeling prevailing and
the most thorough and unselfish devotion to the
great principles of tlie democratic faith, givitsg
unity of purpose and energy of action to our party
organizations, hut also an abiding confidence in
tbe measures of the national administration, and
a determination unselfishly to sustain tne policy so
fearlessly enunciated by Mr Buchanan, and which
so far he has carried out wjth such signal energy
and patriotism. The high and lofty purposes of
Mr. Buchanan, nnd the aim of his administration
of the affairs of the government, are clearly per
ceived and universally approved, according, as
the} do, w ith the enlightened ideas of the people as
to the great mission ol the democratic party of the
country; and the marked success which has already
been achieved in the pacification of Kansas, and in
the settlement of various difficulties ami disputes
of a foreign character, giye assurance to the whole
country of large national progress and peace, if
the patriotic purposes entertained receive but their
due support from the people, who constitute, under
a government like ours, the true source of all power.
Already has this sentiment reversed tho complexion
of the lower house of Congress, and made it
thoroughly democratic; and tlie eyes of the nation
are now turned to Pennsylvania, expecting of her
democracy a stern and unyielding support of her
own honored apd patriotic statesman. We are
proud to believe the national democracy of other
States will have no cause to regret in the issue.
Nowhere, in no single county, have the democracy
of Pennsylvania shown the least disposition to
waver, ortho least want of fealty. They have re
joiced at the successive victories ofouririends lr.
other States, and are themselves prepared to do
over again, with increased enthusiasm, the work of
last November, in crushing out the fell spirit ol
abolitionism and know-nothing prejudice.”

Currents »f the Se*.
One of the most important contributions to
science that has birm made oi. late y. ats, is the
w -rk of Lieut- Maury ott tue Buys-cal G-Oigrap.iy
ot the soa. Human/ effoits have been made with
out success, to sound tlie depths of the ocean, that
if had come to be regarded as impracticable. The
observation of the currents that w-ere known to ex
ist in its waters were attended with so many diffi
culties that they w-cre at best but imperfectly Bn-
derstood. The same uncertainly prevailed with
regard to the winds; and navigation, consequent!},
was a tiling of pure routine; vessel followed vessel
over a prescribed track, yearafier year, though, as
has since been amply proved a much more advan
tageous course might have been shaped. I be uni
versally appreciated book of Lieut. Maury lays be
fore the public the result ofeobs'-t various made in ail
parts of the globe as to currents and winds, the
temperature of tlie water, tbe result of deep sea
soundings, dec., and by the charts which have been
constructed; wi;h the aid of these observations, tbe
navigator is euabjed boldly to steer over what to
him is wholly an unknown sea. Thus many voy
ages are much shortened, aud very great savings
oftentimes effected.
Tbe Philadelphia North American, in a article
011 Winds aud Currents, adduces some interesting
facts, from which ive make some li bag'll extracts.
ltsays,byfar the best known currents in the world
of waters, is tbe Gulf Stream, which lies so imme
diately in the track of modern commerce. It has its
origin in the Guit ot Mexico, aud flows out so near
to tbe Florida Keys that its deep blue color is some
times distinctly visible from them- The line of
demarcation between tho Gulf Stream and the
colder water which serves for its bed, is remarkably
well defined—so much so that it lias been possible
to distinguish the instant at which a vessel enters
it. The general course of the stream is first to
the northeast—-off uie coast ol the Uh.ted states
and then turning to tbe eastward, at about the
southern extremity of the Great Banks, and con-
tinu illy widening on the surface, it is distributed
to the British Islands and the North of Europe,
the natural rigor of which it serves greatly to tem
per. Tbe comparatively mild temperature of the
northwest of Europe is attributed mainly to the
influence of the Guif Stream, which carries froqt
a tropical region of the earth agreat amount of
heat, to be expended on otherwise cheerless shores.
To the influence of the Gulf Stream tbe moist
climate of Great Britain, and especially of Ireland,
is due; and to the same cause is owing the rain
which our northeasters are pretty sure to bring.
The introduction ofa large body of heated water
into a colder region, it may readily be imagined,
produces many atmospheric ait-1 electrical changes,
and hence the title of “weather breeder,” which
we are told sailors bestow on the Gulf Stream.
The large quantity of water ever flowing out
from the Gult of AL-xico is replaced by an equatorial
current, which crosses the ocean front tbe coast of
Africa, and enters the Caribbean Sea. Between
the Gulf Stream od the north, and this equatorial
current on the south, lies a region which is known
as the Sargasso Sea. According to Lieut. Maury,
it covers an area equal in extent to tlie whole Mis
sissippi valley, and -s so thickly matted over with
gulf woods that the speed of vessels passing
though it is often much retarded, and it sometimes
appears to the eye solid enough to walk on. This
phenomenon is attributed to tho fact of tbe Sar
gasso Sea being the centre of a whirl ot which the
equatorial currents form one portion aud the Gulf
Stream ano^ier. Tlie Atlantic ocean has been
com pari d to a basin of water, in which, when the
fluid is set into rapid motion, there is a tendency
i-.i any light substances that may be floating on the
outside of the whirl to the centre of the basin, and
the presence of tbis drift in a comparatively motion
less s a is taken ,-ts one evidence ot the existence of
a circular currrent in tlie Atlantic, flowing west
ward to the great American gulf, rushing out
through tlie straits of Florida, and sweeping with a
wide curve to the shores of northern Europe, from
which a current sets to the south along the coast of
Europe an8 Africa. It is very common for but.les
containing a slip of paper, with the name o( theship,
and its precise latitude and longitude, to be thrown
overboard in different par s of the world, and t ie-
plaees in which these bottles are picked up, after
the lapse of a considerable time, indicate the gen
cral di ection of the currents. Front experiments of
this nature,it appears that there is a steady tenden
cy of the water of the Atlantic to and trotu the. Gulf
of Mexico. A bottb- dropped overboard at Cape
Horn is picked up in tbe Carribbean Sea; another
dropped off the coast of Africa makes its appear
ance in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Ireland,
and is there thrown ashore; a third, escaping
tlie shore, voyages along the coast of Europe,
fo the African seas again, thus completing the
circle.
There arc other currents in the Atlantic, the most
important of which are those setting towards the
equator from the Polar seas; and vice versa 1 hero
is thus a constant interchange ot water between the
j tropica), and acetic and antarctic regions of the
1 globe,—an exchange attended with the most
| beneficial results, serving to ameliorate the cold of
j tho one, and to modify the heat of the other. The
cold stream which runs with great rapidity from
Baffin’s Bay, and the coast of Labrador, to the
I southwards, meets tbe Gulf stream off the Great
I Banks. It then divides into two portions, one of
which passes under the Gulf stream, and finds its
way not improbably to tbe Carribbean sea, for the
temperature of the water there, at a little depth, is
much below that of the crust of the earth, and as
cold as it is off tbe shores of the Arctic seas; the
other runs southward, a surface current, along the
shores of the United States, between them and the
Gulf Stream.
The currents of the Pacific ocean are not so well
understood as those of which we have spoken, but
there arc some curious analogies between them and
the currents of tlie Atlantic, show ing the same sys
tem of agencies to he at work for attempering cli
mates. The China stream, in uriny respects, re
sembles tlie Gulf Stream- From tbe warm waters
of the Asiatic seas, currents set across the Pacific
to the northwest shores of America. Not finding a
ready vent, they turn southward along the coast of
America, and are, probably, by their moderating
heat, the chief cause of the difference in climate
between tbe eastern and western coast of the United
Slates. There is a cold current, though not a very
strong one. running southwardly from the Polar
sea along the coast of Asia which is valuable for
its fishers. There are currents of the Indian
ocean, and south Pacific, well worthy of notice, did
space permit; and as the commerce of the world is
tending more and more to these parts of the globe,
the precise character and direction of their waters
will probably be determined with much accuracy
at no very distant day. At present tlie information
respecting them is imported. There is one spot.,
however, in the south Pacific that deserves men
tion for the total absence of all signs of life in the
sea ofair. Formerly it was little traversed, but
now al! vessels bound from Australia to South
America pa*s through it. The very sea birds tiiat
join ships and follow them in tlie south Pacific for
weeks together, are said to desert tiiem when they
enter these desolate waters.
New York Price Current-
Breach of Promise Case—Damages $25,000.— A
case of no little interest to fashionable circles in
this city, has just been ent red upon, nnd reveals
tlie following state of affairs. It would appear
fioin the legal papets in the case, that, in 1853, the
plaintiff, a young gentleman of Netv York Dam d
Moses Ing’-e, became acquainted, during a tour
in Italy, with the youthful widow of the late Amos
Binttey, of this city, and a mutual regard springing
up. the two pledged th-mselves to a matrimonial
alliance on their return home. The plaintiff alleges
that hewasever ready to perform his part of the
contract, but that the "lady, after her return home,
by various devices, postponed the fulfilment of the
agreement, until at last, with utter disregard of
his rights under her promise, she deserted him
altogether and became tho wife of Dr. Geo.
Hayward, of this city. In view of the loss of his
business, which he neglected while in her service,
and because of the much valuable time and treasure
thatlie expeuded in her behalf, he now sues upon
the violated promise, and lays his damages at
$25,000. Dr. Hayward and Ids wifo are now
abroad in Europe, aud Messrs. Choate and Chan
dler have been engaged to defend the suit should
the case be pressed to a trial, which we learn will
undoubtedly be tile case.— Buston Journal.
Tbe Pork Market in Prospect.—During the last
two months a good deal has been done at Cin
cinnati in the way of contracts for November de
livery. The Price Current of that city says:
In the c-arly part of June, when it was thought
quite doubtful that even a moderate corn crop
could be made, the disposition to make these con
tracts was strong :-nd very general throughout
the West, .and within Ihe last month, wh-n it
became apparent that the markets would he en
tirely cleared of the old stocks of prevision before
the new would come in, the demand, which
had subsided some during the fore part of July,
again became more active and prices advanced.
During tlie latter part of June and the fore part
of July 5(1 per ewt seemed to be the prevailing
rate, and at which wo heard of contracts to the ex
tent of7,000 head. During the latter part of July,
$(i 75 was paid for 4,000 head for November deliv
ery, and $6 50 for the fore part of Dec'-mber.
Within the last two weeks about 3,1*00 head were
gold, for November delivery, at $7 per cw”., not.
The impression is pretty generally entertained tiiat
the .pork brought into market early will command
high prices.
According to ottrad vices front Illinois, there in an
active demand for hogs in that State at $G-.iet.
with more buyers than sellers.
Col. Setter, j n raceway of whose mill the
California gold was first discovered, has been re
duced to poverty. By the last arrival from Cali
fornia, we learn that Hock Farm, his residence,
has been sold under tlie Sheriff's hammer. This is
the lust of the magnificent domain which was at one
time his property, and the old man whose name
is so closely associated with the history of Califor
nia, whoso unbounded hospitality has welcomed
and .cheered so many travelers to that country, and
by whose means so many have been enriched, is
now left jn Ilia declining years without a home of
his own. Hi* generous and unsuspecting nature
was not sufficient to cope with the shrewduess of
lawyers and speculators when his lauds became of
value; and so they have all been wrested from
him, much by what in the parlanc* of trade would
be called “legitimate transactions,” much by bare
faced fraud.—Buffalo Cam. Adv.

election of an American in tbe District, there irom
no serious objection to his candidaey.bat when it
was ascertained that there would he two Democrats
in the Congressional race, and consequently some
slight chance for an American, Mr. Dawson was
compelled to withdraw, and a nomination was
tendered to Mr. Bai tow. This, after some little
coyness, Mr. Bartow has accepted, and he is now
the only American candidate in the field. His
only hope is tbe division of tlie Democratic
strength between CoS. Seward and Mr. Gauldcii,
of Liberty; or rather, that the latter gentlemen will
lake from Col. Seward a sufficient number of votes
to give hint a plurality in the District. We ear

erised more iutiuenco over its action, in the practi
cal busiu- ss of legislation, or accomplished more
for his immediate constituency. An overwhelm
ing majority of the Democracy of the First District
not only know, but appreciate his seryices, and
are determined to sustain him. If there arc a few
Democrats who are not disposed to sustain him,
and who would porter that tlie District should be
represented by some otln-r Democrat—-we trust
tiiat they will yet recognise the facts, that he is the.
choice of a majority of the party—that the contest
for the representation of tlie District is between
him and the American candidate, aud that every
Democratic vote which is not given to him, is
given iudirecily to Mr. Bartow. Convinced of
these facts, and desiring to do every thing iu our
power to concentrate the Democratic vote of the
District upon Col. Seward, we have placed his
name at the head of our columns this morning, in
the list of Democratic candidates for Congress.

“ Pro-Slavery” Paper in England.—The Day Book
publishes tlie prospectus of an English newspaper,
called the Manchester Cotton Bress and first numbe
of which will make appearance in November next.
It is intended to represent tlie cotton interests,
of which Great Britan is the centre, and is estab
lished by gentlemen connected with the various
branches of the cotton trade. It will also discuss
the negro question aud “the nature of tho negro,
and investigate the laws of his wise and humane

ries of Mr. Wilberforce and of Exeter Hall on the

tickled our palate that we prevailed upon her to
give us the recipe for makiug it. and having just

to the weight and dimensions of Miles Darden, who
died in Tennessee, a,id was said to be the largest
man in the world. Tlie Jackson ll'hig has tlie
following additional partieul rs of the deceased,
furnished by Rev. John Brooks;
“He was twice married. His children are very
large, hut probably none of them will ever he more
than half the weight of their father. He was quite

Penny Wise and Pound Foolish.—The latest
illustration of this maxim is a case which occurred
in the commercial circles of Cleveland. Ohio, a
few days ago. An ancient broker of that city,
who knows how to save even the shadow of a con
tinental dime, having reflected upon the taritt’
adopted by the express companies for the trans
portation of money packages, and the great cer
tainty and despatch arrived at in their delivery,
resolved on a plan of paying less than the regular VT * J

tees. The rates tor money packages are calcnia- ’ ® - —
ted tipou the value of the contents as marked up
on the outside of tho envelope. He enclosed $2350
in an envelope, and having been very careful to
mark it “$1500” on tho outside, paid the rates on
tbe latter sum to tho express company. The pack
age was unfortunately lost. The banker did not
dare to claim the whole contents, $2350. and tin-
confidently recommend the Ogygenated Bitters, as the
best, if not the only lut-die’uie tlmt will cure Dyspepsia.

The Advantages of Ladies’ Society.—It is
better for you to pass an evening once or twice a
week in a lady’s drawing room, even though the
conversation is rather slow, and you -know the
girls songs all by heart, than in a club, tavern, or
iu a pit of a theatre. All amusements of youth,
to which women are not admitted, rely on it, are
deleterious in their nature. All men who avoid fe
male society have dull perceptions,and are stupid,
or have stupid or gross tastes, and revolt against
what is pure. Your club swaggerers, who are
sucking tbe halts of billiard cues all night, call fe
male society insipid. Beauty has 110 charms fora
blind man"; music does not please a poor beast,
who does not know one tune from another: and as
a true epicure is hardly ever tired of water ancho
vy and brown bread and hotter, I protest I can sit
ail night talking to a well regulated, kindly wo
man, about her girl coming out, or her boy at
Eton, and like the evening’s entertainment. One
of the great benefits nian may derive from woman's
society is. that he is bound to be respectful to
them. The habit is of great good to your moral
men, depend upon it. Our education makes us
the most eminently selfish men in the world. We
fight for ourselves, we yawn for ourselves, we light
our pipes and say we won’t go out, we prefer our
selves and our case; nnd the greatest good that
comes to 11 man from a woman’s society is, that he
disease, may readily remove the blemish aud 11 '•
