Ilirh ended in the report being referred to the
Committee on Resolutions, with instructions to
report whether it formed a basis for a proper
union, and an adiournment was had to two o’clock
P. M. . *
On re-assembling a series of resolutions was
submitted against the acceptance ot the report,
and discharging the conference committee, which
was adopted amid considerable excitement. A
motion was immediately made to proceed to hal-
lot for candidate for Governor which motion was
adopted, and after some preliminary epeech-
making the Hon. E. I). Morgan was nominated
on the second ballot, l lie nomination was made
unanimous, and Robert Campbell, of Steuben, was
subsequently nominated by acclamation as a can
didate for Lieutenant Governor. A committee
was appointed to notify the Americans of the ac
tion taken, and to inquire what names they had to
propose. A recess of half an hour was then taken.
After the recess the proceedings of the Republi
cans gave offense to the Americans and all chances
of a union were lost The convention perfected
its tickets as follows:
For Governor—E. D. Morgan.
For Lieutenant Governor—Robert Campbell.
Eor Canal Commissioner—Hiram Gardner.
For State Prison Inspector Everest.
The American convention did not organise
until eleven o’clock, owing to the delay of the
Committee of Conference in agreeing upon a .e-
port. When the committee came in, Mr. Brooks
announced that a report had been agreed upon
unanimously on the part of the Americans, and
nearly so on the part of the Republicans. A long
and spirited debate ensued on the propriety of its
adoption, when it being understood that the Re
publicans had discharged their committee and
taken the report from their hands, pending a mo
tion to lay the resolutions on the table, the Con
vention adjourned till three o'clock. On re assem
bling the propositions to table was lost. Various
messages then passed to a»d fro between the two
Conventions relative to the. terms ot an agreement
but it was found impossible to coalesce, and the
Americans proceeded to the nomination of an in
dependent State ticket which was perfected as
follows:
For Governor—Lorenzo Burrows.
For Lieutenant Governot—N S. Benton.
For Canal Commissioner—J. R. Thompson.
For state Prison inspector—W. A. Russell.
The Convention after mutual congratulations,
then adjourned.—New York Timet.
The Changes u Twenty Tears.
In noticing that a gentleman named Hutchins
had been nominated in Ohio to succeed Joshua R.
Giddings in the U. S. House of Representatives,
where lie has occupied a seat for the last twenty
years, the Albany Journal thus moralises :
Every chair in’the o'J Hall of Representatives
must bo fraught with memories of tf*e past to the
the “Senior Member.” He has seen generations
of short-lived politicians rise, fall, and become for
gotten. He lias seen faithful public servants re
moved to other trusts, and many to another world.
Round the entire circleof thellall his eye fails to
find a single member who sat there when he first
entered it, and who has sat there with him since.
Adams has gone to his reward. Ogden Hoffman,
Chas. G. Atherton, Leverett Staltonstall, Edw’d.
Curtis, Barnwell Rhett, Dixon Lewis, and many
others are also gone the way of all Lie earth.—
Hunter and Bell are trangfered to the Senate —
Wise to the Guhanatorial Chair. Brown is dis
pensing the patronage of the Post Office Depart
ment. Clifford wears the silken judicial robe of
the Supreme Court. Stanely has gone to the terra
incognita, California- Truman Smith, Cooper, Wel
ler, and Williams, after exchanging Representa
tive for Senatorial honors, are departed from the
Capitol. Corwin, after a brilliant career as Gov
ernor, Senator and Secretary is preparing to re
turn again to the field of his early distinction -—
Pickens and Hopkins are trying the pleasures of
fo reign Courts. Briggs and Lincoln are ex-Gov-
ernors. Granger and Cave Johnson, are ex-Post-
masters General, Strong and Marvin ai-e on the
New York Bench.
Like changes hare altered the aspect of the
Senate Chamboi Clay, Webster. Benton, and
Calhoun, then in the zenith of their fame, now-
live only in history. Buchanan occupies the
White House—Pierce has lately left it. Wm.
King became Vice-President and died abroad.—
The grave has dosed over Sjlas Wright and “Hon
est John” Davis. Walker has had his ups and
downs with every tarn of the Wheel of Fortune,
and is cow ex-Governor of a place that he then
had never heard of. The only Chair that retains
its old occupant is that of John J. Crittenden, the
veteran of the Senate, as Gi-Jdingsis of the House.
Empires have risen and fallen; Kingdoms, turn

Ssix moo's Temple.
Wr. Williams, the editor of the Utica Herald,
has reached Palestine in the course of his Eastern
wanderings. The following is an extract from
his last letter describing tfie “Holy City.”
There was one “Holy Place” in Jerusalem I
sought in vain to visit—the sit*' of the Temple of
Solomon. It is, as yoc know, .occupied by the
principal Mosque of the city—the Mosque of
Omar. Including the inclosure, it occupies the
whole Southwestern part of the city, and appears
one of the most imposing edifices I have seen in
the East. Hitherto strangers have been permit
ted to visit it by paying a modest backsheesh of
from five to fifteen dollars each ; but of late the
Mohammedans have been ‘growing no betler fast’
in the matter of toleration, and this year have
saneily shut the door of the eacred edifice in the
teeth of the whole squad of “Christian dogs.” I
attempted to ! ook into the inclosure, but a Turk
ish sentinel offered to make me a present of the
contents of a very rusty musket, while an old
vagabond who stood near suggestively drew his
finger across his throat—indicating, by such sug-
gesture, that in case I should enter. I should for
the future be relieved of the bore of carrying a
head upon my shoulders. These rascally Mohome-
dans have also placed some sacred edifice or other
over tomb of David, so that no Christian is per
mitted to see the resting place of the great Psalm
ist. And I may here rematk, that there is no sad
der spectacle in all this curse-stricken land than
that of Arabs, and, if possible, still more de-
f raded Turks, lording it over the sacred city.
he ground ouee pressed by the feet of Solomon,
and David, and Christ, now echoes to the tread of
Moslem and Janissary and the driveling Dervish ;
while the Jew is cowering in obscure places, the
Moslem struts with the air of one who treads on
thrones; while the Christian begs permission to
kneel at the tomb of his Saviour, the Turk dis
dainfully proclaims himself monarch of all ho
surveys. While the “Holy Sepulchre” is nomin
ally in the hands of the Christian. Turkish sol
diers keep guard at the door, aud a Turkish Pasha
keeps the key.
Economical Hints.—1. Have a work bench and
a few tools in your woodshed, or in a little room
at one end of your barn. There are many small
jobs in the course of a year, which any man of
common ingenuity can do as well as a professed
carpenter And then- are many rainy days and
“odd spelts” when these jobs can he done. And
how tuvieii muuing to the vilh-ge, and how much
waiting and patience this would save!
2. Have a place for everything and everything
is its place. Those tools—why should they he
lying around, the auger here, the jack-plttne there,
snd the saw yonder, and the adz and screw-driver
nowhere? Don’t put away aslmvel, hoe spade,
or any implement without cleaning it. This may
seem needless care, but in the longer run it is a
saving of time and money. Rust corrodes and
weakens the best made tools. There are men who
leave their plows standing in the furrow, or lying
by the side of the fence from one year to another.
And the “bran new” scythe is often left dangling
from the crotch of an apple tree, month after month.
Hear what a sensible farmer says. “Drive in

saialler fly as they deemed that it was something
to eat. He himself had rubbed his nose against it
but could make no impression upon it; but still, it
was to he looked at as opening a way through their
domain, and he wished fora free expression of the
opinibn of the meeting. He was convinced, that
though they were fish, they wouldn't he scaly
about the matter, and, if everything was satisfac
tory lie, for one would say let it slide.
Thomas Cod; Esq , was one that had been de
ceived by the line,land had, in his efforts to bite
it, broken out several of his front teeth. [A voice
in the crowd—“Go to the dentists and get some
new ones, and charge them to the company.”]—
He heard this suggestion, and perhaps should
profit by it, but his feelings were outraged by the
deception.
J. Shark, Esq of the detective force said that as
he was chasing a delinquent mullet, he came in
contact with the line, and received a severe inju
ry in the head. He begged the company to look
at the wound. [He removed a large piece of
kelp, and revealed a deep mark over the right eye.
He confessed that he had been staggered by the
blow; and asked if the company would see any
body injured in that way.
Sergeant Swordfish, of the Marines, declared
that he had been startled by what lie heard. The
domain of the main had been invaded, and lie, for
one, was ready to throw away his scabbard: and
go and saw off the cable.
King Fish Esq , took the same view as his mil
itary friend, and went in for cutting off.
Mr. Horse McArel thought there was cause to
suspect anything in this line that they couldn't
see the erd of. Forhispart.be thought all res
pectable fish should raise their tongues and sound
against it.
Jola Porpoise. Esq., chose to speek, when every
fin ceased to vibrate, and a universal smile spread
over the audience. He said he had not come to
make a speech, but he was of opinion that he
might say something, as he usually did when lie
spoke. He was for introducing pacific aiftasures,
even though this was the Atlantic. [Laughter.]
He was not one to believe that that line was go
ing to affect any fish who was not a chnwderhead.
[Hear, hear] If fish would confine themselves
simply to cold water there would be no danger —
For his part, he was disposed to blow for the new
line. [Cheers.]
Mr. O'Shun Shad had eome to listen, rather than
to take any part in the business of the meeting but
he and his companion Mr. Bluefish, from a sum
mer visit to the Glades, had learned to respect
Yankee prowess, and would say. if that enterprise
ing class of animals had anything to do with the
present mysterious arrangement hewouldnt oppose
it, because it would do no good. It was bound
to go.
Mr. Blnensli responded; “That's so!” and a
young Tautog, whose ancestor had fallen at Comp
ton wiped away a briny tear, as he endorsed the
response.
Mr. Deepsea Cod didn't see much cause for un
easiness; although lie could feel a divert interest
in th8 matter, as, thanks to science, he was mas
ter of a little Isle of his own. in which his interest
was concentrated. The cry of “liver,” he had just
heard in the crowd, did not affect him. He threw
hack the imputation, and would say that through
his liver many human lights had [been kept from
going .'wit. He was a philanthropist and was
willing to sacrifice himself—so long as it would
pay.
Mr. Blaekfish did not apprehend much trouble
from it,, only he was opposed to all innovations.—
He didn’t believe in any new-fangled notions at all
and thought, that by consentingto let the cable re
main, they were encouraging the vagaries of the
fish out of water. He would move the passage of
the following resolution;
Resolred, That the long line across the territory
is an infringement, and should not he allowed.
This resolution was discussed by Messrs. Cod,
Haddock, and Dolphin, and others, chiefly in op
position, w hen the resolution was lost.
It was then voted that the cable be allowed to
remain and the proceedings were ordered to he

From Ttah—Three hundred Mormon Women
Renouncing the Faith.
By the arrival of a young man named Herbert
Brandon, we have been furnished with the follow
ing information from Salt Lake:
“I,” says our informant, “left Camp Scott on
the 13th June. The Mormon excitement had
been entirely abated. Several Mormon trains had
passed Camp Scott on their way to the States.”
They stated, while camped at the above place,
that they would not have been permitted to leave
or they would liave abandoned Salt Lake long
ago.
On being questioned as to their determination
to resist the entrance of the United States troops,
the}- replied that the major part of the Mormons
only awaited the entrance of the troops in order
to effect their escape from Brigham Young and
Mormonism.
On their arrival at Camp Scott they were minus
the common necessaries of life. On being asked
the cause of their destitute condition, they stated
tliat before Brigham Young had relented from his
determination to resist the troops, he had ordered
them to deposit what provisions they had in the
storehouse: but as soon as he made known his
intention of going South, those of the Mormons
who had refused to go were deprived of ail, and
could get nothing for their outfit. They also stat
ed that but for the interference of Gov. Cumming
the destroying angel would have forced them
away, and that they did succeed, in some instances
in driving away several women. I came down
with two Mormon trains from Camp Scott, num
bering about three hundred persons, principally
women, who were chiefly English and some
Scotch; and the principal topic of their conversa
tion throughout was the absurdity of Mormonism
and its principles. They were all unanim.ius in
their denunciation of Brigham Young and his
apostles, and talked of the assassination of the
Mormons who remained at Camp Scott as a sure
event.
They have all, without exception, become dis
gusted with Mormonism and renounced it and
expressed their determination from henceforth to
use all their efforts fer the total annihilation of
Mormonism. They express their desire to return
to their native countries, aud would if they had
the means to do so, in order that they might be
instrumental in saving others from the baneful in
fluence of Mormonism. On their arrival at
Plattsjnoutli, on the Missouri river they had cal
culated to crossover to Council Bluffs, hut the
had condition of the roads in Iowa changed their
resolve, and they are now dispersing themselves
in Kansas and Nebraska Territories.
Mr. Brandon gave us many other interesting
particulars, from which we conclude tliat a speedy
dissolution awaits the community of Latter Day
Saints Many of the women, although they went
to Utah innocent and .pure, we judge, are very
unlikely to lead a very exemplary life in the fu
ture. They have been debased until they are
likely to abandon themselves to the loathsome
life of prostitution.
of the Boston journal and other papers which have
undertaken to make excuses for the state of things
which exist, by leading their readers to suppose
that it has been argued that this state of tilings has
arisen from the resentment of “ our Southern
brethren.” Such a statement is a bare-faced impo
sition, and an outrage upon the common sense of
those to whom it is made.
The argument is and has been that, hv our sense-
li ss, bigoted and dogmatic course in regard to oth
er sections of the Union; by denouncing them,
their institutions aud their people as infamous,
enemies to God, morality and their kind, the peo
ple of these sections have naturally been alienated
from us and have turned their business into other
channels and directions.—not so much from mere
resentment as from an unwillingness to came un
necessarily in contact willi those who are continu
ally denouncing them, denying 'heir decency, their
humanity and their right to manage their own in
stitutions in their own way and of making such
ameliorations in them, as they themselves might
feel they had need of, w ithout dictation from those
who had no right to interfere.
It is perfectly natural for the Journal and kin
dred papers, now that attention has been attracted
to the course we have pursued as a people; now
that the true reasons of our failing business are
brought to the light and exposed, to make what
excuses they can. They have aided in bringing
about the blight which confessedly rests upon our
business prosperity, and would like now, of course,
when the people are inquiring who have done
them this injury, aud are holding them responsible
who have done it, to throw responsibility off from
their own shoulders by some specious and foolish
argument. “Wretched silliness," exclaims the
Journal, “ the assertion of the extent to which our
Southern brethren are swayed by a resentment of
onr free opinions.”
Let us suppose that the editors of the Journal
and of presses of the same stripe were in the habit
of procuring their domestic supplies from a city
tile inhabitants of which, their presses and their
clergy, were not only continually denouncing the
character and the principles of their Journals, blit
extending their interference so far as to call into
question the purity of their motives, the honor of
their wives, the honesty of their families the de
cency of their associates and to how l these denun
ciations in their ears whenever aud wherever and
every time they mot them. Bitter feelings would,
no doubt, be engendered. But would it be mere
resentment that would prompt them to withhold
their custom and seek some other mart of trade ?
Would not self-respect and an unwillingness to as
sociate with foul mouthed, insulting and degrad
ing denunciators have something to do in prompt
ing them to seek their accommodations elsewhere?
They w ho have brought about the state of things
under which we suffer, and who prate about
“wretched silliness,” are on the defence when
they come before the public in reply to the argu
ments which have awakened the eyes o* the people.
They feel it and know it. And they also teel that
the returning tide of public sentiment will not
spare them for the injury they have done. Hence,
in their confusion and dismay, they can only mis-
tate facts, misquote arguments, miscall papers
pro-slavery, and bring up a silly array of statistics
of votes for Governor which have no more to do
with the facts in question, than the figures of the
vote whereby Napoleon Bonaparte was made First
Consul for life.
The only thing we have seen in the Journal on
this point that looks like argument is the question,
“ whether a single Massachusetts man buys a
pound of cotton the less, denies himself, or his
customers of a grain ot rice, or hesitates for a mo
ment in his purchases of tar. pitcli and turpen
tine ?” This is doubtless put forth as a crustier.
But there is nothing in it. These articles are sta
ples of the South. We must purchase them there
or go without. We have no choice in the matter, j
If the articles named could be obtained from other j
sources, our enmity,—not our resentment,— would
seek those other sources. With manufactured ar
ticles and articles of foreign commerce, however,
the case is different. They may he obtained from
any commercial capital and from any place where
industry and ingenuity reside. We have nothing
but manufactured articles and articles of foreign j,
commerce to offer. There is no staple of our soil
that the South wants. Consequently we are open
to competition, and the people whom we malign,
abuse and outrage will naturally rather look to
our competitors than to us for their supplies. Hap
pily, however, a better feeling is growing np
among us. The power of sectionalism is wearing
away and we are returning to a sentiment more-
just to our brethren in other sections, more honor
able to ourselves. We are beginning to he willing

.This production is ns destitute as anything ran
V' of arguiwent or reason. 1 is ton stale materia'
nf the abolitionists often confuted and as on a
rehashed by abler hands than Forn y. Bat its
shallow common-place is somewhat relieved by tie
bitterness and malignity of its spirit. Forney
avows himself with the abolitionists, body and
soul. He does not play the hypocrite now. After
w Inning for eighteen months about his devotion to
democratic principles and the ingratitude with
which he was treated—after coaxing all the money
and all the patronage he could get out the de
mocracy on the pretence that lie was a democrat
and meant to remain so—he takes occasion to tell
the democracy publicly, in a speech corrected and
revised by himself for his own paper, that "there
would be no God in Heaven if the ballot-box did
not damn such a party in October next.” It is in
this insolent, profane, and vulgar style that he an
nounces the deception he lias practiced on the
credulous democrats who gave him the means with
which he started his piratical paper. This open
declaration of hostility to the democratic party is
accompanied, as it should be, with plenty of flat
tery for the opposition. He coaxes the know-noth
ings, fawns upon the black-republicans, and plays
lickspittle to Horace Greeley.
It was to be expected, also, that an apostacy so
gross as Forney's should be signalized by more
than the common amount of tliat falsehood which
renegades always delight in. He could not prove
his qualifications for the now political association
to which lie aspires without paying down his full
contribution to the common stock of personal
slander against the President. But the following
statement, which wo give just as lie gives it him
self, with his own account of the “cheers” and the
“laughter” with which it was received, shows that
lie has (airly won the affections of his present
co-workers in the business of detraction and
calumny:
“I went to Washington. When I got there I
said to my old friend, Mr. Buchanan, ‘For the first
time in our lives we are at variance, having fol
lowed your lead thus far, I now find myself desert
ed.’ ‘ Well,’ said he, ‘cannot you change, too?’
[Laughter ] ‘If I can afford to change, said he,
‘why cannot you afford to change, too/’ [Renewed
laughter.] ‘If you, Douglas, and Walker will
unite in support of my policy, you will not hear a
whimper of this thing; it will pass by as the sum
mer breeze.’ I said to him. We differ; very well;
with an administration surrounded by offic:-
seekers, living all th time in an atmosphere of
flattery, followed by thousands of men who expect
office, and who say to you you are right, Mr. Buch
anan, we are down upon our bellies in the dust,
please to walk over us and trample upon us, and
we will he content and happy; you may believe
that your policy is right; but 1 tell you, Mr. Buch
anan, that there is sjstill, small voice in the hearts
of the.pcopi ■ that instinctively rejects and abhors
fraud—and this is fraud and dishonor. 1 do not
claim to be more houest than other men, 1 have, as
all politicians have, dune many tilings which may
not square exactly w itli the rules of religion aud

thing I will not do. [Renewed applause.] 1 have
reached the years ot manhood, and I cannot go
back to Pennsylvania and eat my own words, and
become the slave of power. But then, Mr. Bu

n-r the purpose of considering the propriety of the
■ ;ou ofa t .;i* overt ot tile, louro Superior
region of Michigan, Wisconsin aud Minnesota,
preparatory to the formation nt a new State. I his
meeting was called some time ago, and was at
tended by delegates from all the different sections
enumerated in the call.
A committee of eight was appointed by the con
vention to draft an address to th*- legislatures of
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, urging upon
th“ni the propriety and necessity ot a grant to the
general governm j nt of their territory, bordering
on Lake Superior, for tlie purpose of enabling the
inhabitants to form a new Territory, and this com
mittee was instructed to submit their proceedings
to the convention, which is to meet again on the
11th iust. at Ontonagon, for tin* purpose of con
sidering them. In addition to this, a committee
of three was appointed to draft resolutions expres
sive of the sense of the convention, and tlieir re
port was made at an adjourned meeting on the
2fith. The resolutions are devoted w holly to set
ting forth the various reasons which are urged in
favor of the project, and were simply accepted by
the convention, but no further act taken.
These reasons are the distance ot those regions
from the capitals of the different states to which
they belong, the difficulty of getting to them,
their virtual disfranchisement in many elections,
the difference of interests and occupations, and
other things which have been olten euum-rated
and are well understood. These same reasons
have been presented to the legislature ot this State
a number of times in the resolutions which have
been introduced for ceding hack the Upper
Peninsula. The committee which has been ap
pointed for the purpose of preparing an address
to the different legislatures must use the same
reasons, for those here employed are all. or at
least all the chief ones, that can he urged. These
measures have not heretofore been sufficient to in
duce the legislature to take any action except to
lay the resolutions away to rest on the table, and
it is not believed that the address now in course of
preparation will have any other effect.—Detroit

Cleverly Caught.
Two Philadelphia sharpers attempted the con
fidence game upon a gentleman from Lyn Creek,
(Mo) and were hadsomoly caught in their own net.
One of the men named Barret, accosed Mr.
Swink, the Missouri gentleman, as lie sat iu the
reading room of the Girard House, slating that he
was from Jefferson city, (Mo) and was glad to
meet aresident of his own State. Mr. Swink per
mitted the young man’s intimacy, and a few days
afterwards as they, stood in trout of the hotel,
Barret hailed a young man passing on the opposite
side of the street. The latter was introduced as
JoneSwOf the firm of Smith, Jones & Co, and the
three went to the Franklin House and indulged in
sherry cobblers. Barret inquired of Jones, "Have
von shipped my goods yet?” Jones replied that
he had: and Barret offered to settle for them there.
Jones' bill was under $100. and Barret had a
$100, note and Jones not having “change,”
Swink was appealed to, and agered to do the little
favor if tin y would walk up to his room at the
Girard - This, after some polite demur was agreed
to. Swink, having them in his room, gave them

If parents would consider the welfare and hap

How often does this question arise, and from
religious parents, too, in choosing companions
and suitors for their daughters :
“Is he rich?”
If the daughter answers ‘yes, he is rich, he is
a gentleman neat in his dress and can live with
out work,’ the parents are pleasod :
Not many years ago a Polish lady of plehian
birth, but of exceeding beauty and accomplish
ments, won the affection of a young nobleman,
who having her consent, solicited "her from her
father in marriage, and was refused. We may
easily imagine the astonishment, of the nobleman.
‘Am I not, said ho, of sufficient rank to aspire
to your daughter’s hand?’
‘You are undoubtedly of the best blood of Po
land.’
‘And Biy fortune and reputation are they not—’
‘Your estate is magnificent and 3"oar conduct is

‘Then having jour daughter's consent how

Important Derision.
As the corn-slmeking season is approaching,
the following legal decision is of some interest to
the farmers of this State:
Some months ago Mr. Jones, a respectable
farmer of Rutherford county, Tenn., held at his
farm a ‘corn-shucking,’ and, as is necessary oil
such occasions, he invited his neighbors, and sent
requests to them for assistance. Among others,
he sent by a young man to a neighbor a mile or
two off, and or! the night of the com-sliuckir
anion
‘pile,’ he secs the negro of this neighbor—natural
ly supposing that he was there by the consent and
desire of his master. After the shucking was over
the negroes had a supper given them, and were
then desired by Mr. .Tones to go home to their
masters: he, not feeling well at the time, retired to
rest. He had not been in bed long before he was
aroused by a friend, informing him that one of the
negroes had been stabbed by a man named Hagar,
and was dying: The man Hagar, it seems: was
drunk and came on the farm uninvited by Mr.
| Jones; he was tried at the term of the last criminal
court held in Mnrfreshoro’, and sent to the poni-
tentarv for a term of years. The owner sued Mr.
Jones for the price, alleging that he was on Mr.
Jones’ farm without his knowledge or consent,
(the young man whom Mr. .Tones liad employed to
ask his consent not having done so.) This being
proved, and the low being against Mr. Jones, the
jury decided that he must pay for the negro.
Several important points to farmers were brought
to light at this trial, and which it would be well
for them to remember if they desire not to suffer
loss, and which also demonst ntes the meaning of
the law upon these points. First it is lawful to
‘shuck’ your corn, hut if a strange negro should
happen to seat himself down at the ‘pile,’ and it is
proven that he shucked com for five minutes, and
he should leave and go home, and in doing so
should either kill himself or he killed by another,
your corn-shucking will he proved in law unlaw
ful, and his master recover the value of his negro.
What a risk every farmer runs at every corn
shucking he lias.
Again, and a little finer still. If the same ne
gro had brought you a pass, certifying that liis
master was willing that he should attend your
corn-shucking, you know the hand writing and be
lieve it to he genuine, and consequently are satis
fied that all is right. Yet, should it turn out. you
being unacquainted with the negroes, that it has
been transferred by one negro to another, aud an
aecident should occur to the negro while upon

will be despensed with at the present term. The
resolutions passed attiie meeting to which we refer
are highly complimentary to Mr. Fannin, and
strongly condt nmatory of the action of the Board
of Commissioners. We cannot learn from the
lights before us, the grounds of complaint against
Mr. F., but are free to express our regret that any
controversy should have arisen between the
friends and managers of the Institution. It is de

lasting benefits to an unfortunate class, and we

convict him of falsehood. He hoped that Mr
Buchanan would he induced to come down and
personally notice him by a contradiction. Failing
til that, he could at all events boast that the Presi
dent of the United States had associated him with
Douglas and Walker, and made him one ot the
triumvirate upon whose support the success of liis
administration depended. But lie has missed it in
every way. The whole story is palpably false
upon its face, in every line, word, and letter, and
no man of common s- use will believe it fora
moment. He h as gibbetted himself as a calumni
ator. There he hangs, in the lace of the public,
and there he must stay, for liis abolition allies are
j not able to take him down.
The story lie tells of the cabinet meeting is, like
j tiie account of liis own conversation, wholly
| fabulous. We venture to assert that Mr. Walker
never authorized any one to say that he insulted
the President and cabinet by expressing a sus-
| pieion tliat tin y would behave treacherously. Nor
| is Forney's silly roorback about the dissenting mem
ber being taken out into au adjoining room war
ranted by anything which Mr. Walker is capable
of littering. That gentleman can easily he called,
on if Mr; Forney thinks he will sustain him.
But lie never will be called on for any such pur
pose.
Mr. Forney’s disinterestedness is a subject on
which he dilates with great unction, - We might
reply to that if we thought proper. But for the
present we shall dismiss him to the contempt lie
deserves.

Wearing by Machinery —The improved mechan-
1 ism by which the gigantic cotton mills of the
, pn Sent day are carried on is most varied and in
genious in its construction. 'There is for instance
ilie winding machine, by which the yarn is wound
on large bobins; there is the beaming machine, by
which the yarn is transferred to large beams or
rollers; there is the dressing machine, by which'
the yarn is drawn out into parallel lines of warp
threads and stiffened with an application of flour
paste and lastly, there are the looms—power looms
for the great factories, and Jacquard looms
for a small number of figured goods in cot
ton Steam unwinds the warp from the beam;
steam raises tlie alternate threads to form the shed
or opening for the shuttle; steam drives tlie shuttle
from side to side; steam drives up or consolidates
each thread of weft as it is thrown; steam winds
the calico or cloth oil a large roller; and steam
rings a hell to tell the attendant how the loom is
getting on with its « oik The attendant does nope
of the weaving; she—for it is generally a female—
watches a couple of looms alternately, to see that
the beam lias enough warp and theslmttle enough
weft, to mend any threads which accidently break
and to make a number of little minor adjustments
but the giant power of steam—that power which
will forge an anchor or make the eye of aneei^e—
moves everything, does everything. In short, so
far as regard.* the bulk of cotton goods now pro
duc'd, steam power is the opener, the scruteher,

A Nlrmijzc but True Kloiy.
A great many strange tliimrs happen, and entire
ly escape public attention, which, if made known,
would induce more than a passing remark. Fora
long time we have heard nothing stranger than the
story we are about to relate. When Thos. Gallo
way was 24 years of age, lie married a lady of
about the same age, in a village way down in the
State of Vermont. This lady liad a daughter,
Mary, by her first husband, who, at the time of her
second marriage, was two years of age. Just one
yeai after Galloway's marriage, liis wife died.
Little Mary was sent to live w ith a family by the
name of Plunkett, in a neighboring village, and
Galloway left upon a whaling or some other expe
dition. He cruised the wide world and the wide
seas over w andering rum place to place, and final
ly settled in Dearborn county. Indiana, twenty
} ears having elapsed since the death of his wife.
He afterwards thought of visiting his old Vermont
home but he bad heard from good report that his
only hrother, John, had left the plaee Soon after he
had taken his departure, and that litile Mary liad
grown up to womanhood, maiiied and emigrated,
lie could not ascertain w here. Having no other
ties ot affection to draw him fo the place, he scarce
ly ever gave it a passing thought.
8hortiy after settling in his new Indiana home,
he became acquainted with a young widow, and
notwithstanding the disparity in their ages, mar
ried her. fsuine three weeks after this marriage,
he discovered by bis wife’s account of her earl3"
life, that she was no other than his own step-child,
Mar3". 8he had married five years before, and her
husband, Janies Lackland, met with a violent
death in a clearing two years afterwards. About
three 3’i-ars after Galloway’s second marriage, he
happened one day to be in Lawrenceburg, on the
Ohio river, six miles from his residence, when a
man by the name of Galloway was drow ned off a
steamer at the wharf. The body was recovered in
in Galloway's presence, and from the appearance
of the features and corresponding name, lie began
to entertain a vague idea that it might be bis only
brother, John. Information gained from the Cap
tain of the boat, strengthened the suspicion be had
formed and ascertaining tliat the unfortunate man
had a family in this vicinity, and at the time of his
death was on his way to the West to enter land,
Galloway resolved to return with the Captain and
find out the truth. He d^l so, and found his sus
picions correct. His brother had left a tract of
land, a large family of children, for the most part
girls aud a wife in ill health. After consulting
with his deceased brothel’s wife, he concluded to
take charge of the farm. Accordingly, he went
to Indiana, sold liis effects there, and. in company
witii his 3"oung wife, returned, and has been liv
ing within six miles of this eiry fo. a length of
lime, uow going oil ten years. This story is liter
ally true, with the the exception of the names of
the principal character, which we are forbidden to
use. Veril3". truth is strangei than fiction.
Engraving on Razors.— 1 lie process by which
writing is done on razors and fine steele ware is
exceedingly simple; and only requires an expert at
writing to do it successfully and artistically.—
The lazor or other article on w hich it is desirable
to write is first polished, and their covered with a
thin and even coat of beeswax. The next man
ipulation is to draw the design on tliat part of the
w ax which rests on tho surface part of the article
to be i scribed. This removes the wax. or so
much of it as it is necessary to displace, and ex
poses the polished surface. Ni'ric acid is then
poured over the written part, and permitted to re
main until it has bitten into or corroded the steel
to the dcsin d depth. The acid is then, together
with tire wax! removed and the steele is washed
with oil.

Remarkable Phenomenon—Immense Swann:; of
Strange Inserts.
1‘oplar Ridge, N. Y., Sept. 2, 1S58
Y» sterday, at about four o’clock, P. M., the at
mosphere became suddenly filled with in3"rids of
insects of a t3 pe fiitirely unknown in this region,
as f r as I can iearu. The phenomenon is know n
to have extended several miles, and appears to
have oceured at the same moment. The insect is
about one-fourth of an inch long, and closely re-
I sembles the common ant. But the strangest part
) of the matter (that is to me.) remains to be told.—
As soon as they appeared, they began to alight
' upon whatever object they came in contact with,
and to give birth to young insects really winged, which
in a few seconds ascended into tho air, ivhilathe
old one threw themselves into violent contorions,
which continued until they succeeded in lidding
themselves of their wings—after which, they ap
peared to feel much relieved, and ran briskly
about upon the ground, as contented, apparently
as though they had never possessed the power of
flight. In an hour, the earth was alive with these
fallen insect angels, and strew n with their life
less wings—while their tiin", new-horn progeny,
had ascended, and were sporting in the beams of
the evening sun! This morning tho parent in
sects may he seen secreted among the grass, or
whatever offerded protection for the night, while
tiie new generation appear dormant upon the sur
face, awaiting th*: warming rays of the rising sun.
Entomologists may be familiar with such a per
petuation of an insect race, without the interve
ning link of the larvae. If so, will some one en
lighten us on the subject?

Thousands of females die annually for the want ofa
remedy for the ailments to winch they are incident —
The only such remedy we know of is Sir James Clarke's
Female Pills. They are put up in bottles, containing
explicit directions, and sent post-free for S! and 6 post
stumps. They are well known to be the only sure and
safe remedy for female disenses and obstructions from
any cause. See Advertisement. 15
The “ Telegraphic Plateau.”—W. 1’. Trowbridge
assistant engineer in the coast survey, argues in
his report to Prof. Bache, that the existence of
such a plateau is not proved by any soundings yet
made. The conclusion of Mr. Trowbridge are
sustained by the experience of persons in charge
of laying the cable. The quantity of cable paved
out for different distances varied in a manner to

Correct Speaking—\Ye advise all young people
to acquire in early life the habit of using good
language both iu speaking and writing, and to
abandon as early as possible any use of slang
words and phrases. The longer they live the
more difficult the acquisition of such language
will be ; and if the golden age ot youth, the prop
er session for tlie acquisition of language, he
passed in its abuse, the unfortunate victim of neg-

Holloway’s Pills.—The stomach, by the chemical
ageucy of its solvent fluids, converts the food ii.Iu
crude blood; tiie liver furnishes a secretion which firs
it for the veuus system; the lungs vitalize it. If the
stomach is diseased, it cannot produce a healthful ele
ment, and if the fountain ot life is infected, all the
ms tliat flow from it must be poisoned. It is upon
form his taste from the best speakers and poets of
the country, to treasure up choice phrases in his
mentor}-, and habituate himself to their use—avoid
ing at the same time that pedantic precision
and bombast w hich show rather the weakness of
a vain ambition, than the polish of an educated
mmd.

Accident to Judge Hawkins'—Through the kind

and Hotel, and perhaps some stray visitors, all
was a mass of ruffianism. We have analyzed the
ruffian species of animal in most of its types, hut
we have seen nothing more ghastly than tlie ruf

A Rail Road Across the Atlantic.— A writer in
the New Y'ork Tribune suggests a railroad trom
America to Europe. He proposes to cut down the
hills and mountains of Scotland and New England,
and to tumble them into the sea. The tract is to
be a mile wide and sixty feet above the level ot
the sea : the rails are to be on a new plan, the ears
two stories high. The running time is to he
twelve hours, with a reasonable stop for dinner.
The fare is not stated, but it will no doubt be be
fore the road is finished.
IFhat Cigars are made of.—An invoice offoreigr.t
cigars,* teal Havanas” were recently appraised a,
tlie New Y’ork Custom House at $3 per thousand-
hut the importer being dissatisfied,a new appraise
ment was made; which resulted in the admission
of the cigars at $ 1,50 per thousand. The evidence
under oath, by which the change in tlie appraise
ment was made was this: That not a partiele of
tobacco entered the composition of said cigars,
but tliat they were wholly composed of oak and
other leaves soaked in a strong tobacco lye.
Weight of Gold.—An officer in the United States
Mint at Philadelphia says a million of dollars in
gold wtighs nearly two and a quarter tons.
A good supply of strawberries, second crop,
were offered in the Paterson (N. J.) market on
Monday, and were selling rapidly from the w agons

straw berries of the full growth is quite surprising.
Another Steamer for the Transit Route.—The
steamboat Catharine Marin, Captain Paine 1 eioug

Canal Company, for the new line between New
Y’ork and San Francisco, via Nicaragua, left yes-
tc-iday, the 9th inst., in the alternoon, for Sail

the second boat sent by tho Company for the isth
mus, ihe Cass Y risarri having left for San Juan
Monday of this week. The third boat, the Laura
Frances, will leave, as we are informed, next Sat
urday, the 11th inst. The Hermann left for the
Pacific two weeks since to be followed by the
Washington formerly of the Bremen line. The
w hole route is expected to be in oppcration about
the middle of October next.—N. Y. Herald.

The Harvest in Europe.—The Echo Agr.colc says
the wheat harvest in France is nearly ended. Gen
erally speaking, it w ill not be of such good quality
as that of 1857. and will weigh on an average four
to five kilogrammes less per hectolitre. The har
vest of 1858 will consequently, be less than the
pieeeediug; but it must not be forgotten that that
of 1857 w as above the average.
