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 ed into Republics, aud Republics into Kingdoms; six new States have entered the Union, and three new Territories have been brought under our flag; Presidents havegoneup like rockets.andcome dow n like sticks; compromises liave been made and broken; war has followed peace, and peace again succeeded wan trade has expanded and col lapsed, parties have risen flourished, aud decayed; platforms have been been built and torn down again—since he has took a seat in the Hall of Rep resentatives. 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.

A Brute properly punished.—At a Baptist Church corner of Beal and DeSoto streets, a number of negro converts were baptised yesterday afternoon; the female.* ret,red to a house near the bayou, here the jmmermou took place, to dress.

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 published in the Gazette, to he furnished through the cable, a battery of electric eels having volun teered their services for the occasion. After thanking the president for the polite and impartial manner in which he had discharged liis duties, the meeting dissolved in deep water From the Jefferson City (Mo.) Examiner, Sept 4. 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 From the Washington Union. Jf. W.

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 light, and which I regret having done; but this thing I will not do.

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 Daily Free Press, September 4. 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 $35, and went out to obtain the balance, locking the door after him. A policeman was soon found and introduced and the two swindlers were con ducted to a lock-up. In Barret’s possession was found a bogus check for $800, dated Missouri, and ufly intended to be played offon Swink.— I A Fearful Predicament.-One day last week, while I qfiwtr bnv« were Hirerfinp th mselves by leaping in | and r.\ t of an old corn che«f fhat*»ood inf!: • stab!.-, j i of a farm in the Gars-of Gowric', the .whole of them j j got into it at onetirDe, and drew down the lid, [ ; which, being tarnished in the common way. for ; a p 11 lock, the holder caught the staple, and made j them prisoners at once beyond the posibility of extracting themselves.

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 irreproachable/ ‘Then having jour daughter's consent how should I expect a refusal?' ‘This, sir. the father replied, ‘is my only child, and her happiness is the chief concern of my life. All the possessions of fortune are precarious; what fortune gives, at her caprice she takes away. I see no security for the independence and comfortable living of a wife but one; in a word, I ain resolved that no one shall be the husband of my daughter who is not at the same time master of a trade!* The nobleman bowed and retired silently. A year or two after the father was sitting at the door and saw approaching the house, wagons laden with baskets and at the head of the cavalcade a person in the dress of a basket-maker. And who do you suppose it was/ The former suitor of his daughter, the nobleman had turned basket- maker. He was master of a trade and brought the wares made by his own hands for inspection, and a certificate from his employer in testimony of his skill. The condition being fulfilled no further obstacle was opposed to the marriage. But the story is not done. Revolution came—fortunes were plun dered and lords were scattered as chaff before the four winds of heaven. Kings became beggars, some of them teachers; aud the noble Pole sup ported his wife and her father in the infirmities of age by his basket-making industry.

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 your farmer any where but on the premises of liis own master, the owner ran recover, the law declar ing that it was not the negro intended in the pass l.nlcr from Utah.

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.

'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, the carder the lapper, the drawer, the rover, the spinner, the doubler, the winder, the warper, the dresser, the weaver—lie is the master workman, and the machines are his lingers. 1 he Baptists, The Baptist Almanac for 1859 lias just boon is sued by the American Baptist Publication Society.

From the Wheeling (Va.) Intelligencer. 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.

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. From Correspondence ot N. Y. Evenig Post. 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.
