By this means we have examined the bottoms of wells fifty feet deep when half full or more of water. The smallest straw or oth er small objects can be perfectly seen from the surface. I« the .same way one can examine the bottoms of ponds and rivers if the waters be somewhat clear, and not agitated by wind or rapid • motion. If a well or cistern be under cover, or shaded by a building* so that the sunlight wi no fall near the opening, it is. only necessary to employ two mirrors, using one to re ect the light to the' opening, and aftothet to reflect it down into the water, Light may be thrown fifty or a : hundred yards to the precis^ 4 spot desirable, and then downward, \V> have used the mirror with success to reflect light around the house to a shadec. well', and also to carry it f.om a south Window through two rooms, and then into a cistern under the north side of the house.

HUTEAT OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION BY i .. IRE NEGRO VotE. • * [From the Releigh Sentine.j I The majority of the votes against thn call in tho Stato is not great In point of numbers, but when thejeharaeter of the v iters wlio Voted this majority, and the circumstances tinder which they did so, are considered, every "disinterested obser ver must see a result of terrible signifi catice, knd one that argues ill jor the fu ture of the State and people. No honest man here of ordinary inlellh gence can pretend to deny that the great body of this majority vote is made up -of eighty thonsainl tiegro voters, voted solid !y, as if voted by one man, moved by the* deepest and most- unfounded distrust' against the great body of the white people of the State, without .reference to .cl ass or condition—that bdt f<u" this negro vote lhere # would have been buj: nominal opposi tion to the call pf a Convention. And *it most further be conceded/ that those ns jfrcVes voted without the slightest reference to the necessity for" a change of" the Consti tution ; for even the dishonest wffictf-hold ers who manipulate'd the negroes Were forced to -coiKiede that the Constitution needs to be amended ih many important respects. This majority vote has been cast by tfio ignorant, and blindly, without refer ence to the jute rest of anybody but "the offi’ee-ltolders. dn the other hand the ■ minority, nearly equal <o tlu majority in numbers, is mTide np almdst wholly of the intelligent labor** iug clii.fisi , s, and those representing the properly and substantial commercial in dustrial, and educational interests of the people, and this majority vote Has been east wth.an intelligent appreciation of the The voters with the minority see and feel a constitution that fixes upon them and the State a system of taxation so burdensome as to be intolerable—one that cuts off evory prospect of industrial, Commercial and edu cational success —and a system of State* government burdensome in the most ex-t travagiiiit degree iu the. number and chai aeter -and pay of its officers and official system. They see that with the public debt of $10,000,000 hanging over them and the assessed value of their whole property but $120,000,000 and a State government that requires $1,500,000 annually to ad minister it in all of its departments; and the amount of Fed.-ral. taxes "they must pay, equal to $2,500,000 more—that they cannot possibly hope for prosperity indefed, that the very property they have niust be sold to strangers to pay the demauded ot them. This is inevitably so. But the negro and a handful of white peo ple, manipulated by unprincipled office holders; who got into <>ffl;e by the grossest fraud, have a numerical majority and keep them who th*ground work of a solid prosperity down; We have tried this system o’s negro domi nation for three years—there has been no prosperity aud it is manifest there cannot be. . • What will the people do ?

What soit of a people will we become ? What will the world think and say of our morality and of as as a State and people ? Some people may treat thid as a. light and trifling mat* ter ; but we tell everybody that it is one of the deepest moment.

The English satire, ‘The Battle of Corking,* supplied the suggestion fdr this prophetic tale : * You ask me to tell you, ray” childien. of pf the events which immediately .preceded the destruction of the once American Un ion, and the capture of the country by its present European rulers, and to say.gsptue thing also of the cause which led to these deplorable results. I undertake the task with a heavy lieart, for when I revert to thaV terrible time I cannot help OonU-astmg out proud condition up to that fatal .year with the humiliating position occupied now t>7 tlie American people. The story is a short one. In the fall of 1872 Horace Greely, the editotof a newspaper jn, New York, was elected- President of the United States. The people voted for him because they thought-lie was an hondst man. And so he was. Brit tie was also vain and weak, arid he entertained certain fanatical and preposterous- notions —about agricub ttlral'maHers, for instance—which he was determined to force upon the people at all hazards and despite all opposition. He believed, among other things, that every man ought to go to the West to cam hiS bread, and long before he was chosen President He used to advise everybody to move to that region, as a cure for all the disasters that pould befall the human fam i'y* . •./ DRITIIfQ Tits SEABOARD POPULATION WEST. As soon as be reached the Executive Mansion, which we used to call the White House, President Greeley organised an ar* my of two Hundred thousand men, and pro ceeded to enforce the entire population of the seaboard States westward at the point of the bayonet. The utmost violence was used. Those who resisted were shot down, and their dead bodies were carried oflf to a national factory, which the President had established for making some kind of fan tastical fertilizer. All the large cities of the East Wefe depopulated, and the towns Were entirely empty. Ihe army swept before it millions *of men, women and children, until the vast plains west of Kausas were reached; when the pursuit ceased and the army was drawn up in a continuous lice, with orders to shoot any perscu who attempted to visit the East, Os course hundreds of thousands of .these poor crea’.uies perished from -starvation. This seemed to frighten Presideuce Gree ley, and te sent a message to Congress recommending that seven hundred thou sand yoluraes of a. book of his, entitled ‘What I Know about Farming/ should be voted for the relief of the starving suffer eis. This was done, and farming imple ments and seeds were supplied j and then the millions of wretched oatcasts made an effbrt to till the ground. Os the result of tbip I will speak further oo • all XUROPE IN ARMS AGAINST AMERICA. In the meantime the President was do ing infinite harm to the country in anothsr way. Hi&handwriting wan bo fearfully dnd wonUeyfuNy bad that no living man cduld read it. And eo when Le sent hit .first amiQal message to Congress—the doos ument was demoted wholly to the tariff and agriculture—a sen ten be appeared which Bubse<juently was ascertained to be; ‘Largo cultivation of rutabagas and beans is tbd -only hope of the American notioa, I aid sure. 4 The printers, npt being abla to In terpret this, put it iu the following sorta, ii\ which it went to the world : 'The Czar* of Russia couldn’t keep .clean if he wsaboti Himself with the whole Atlanlio ocead once a ddy !‘ This perversion of the mes sage was immediately telegraphed to Rub aria ty [he Russian minister; and the Czak was so indignant that he immediately de clared war. Just at this time President Greely, un dertook toiwrite some letters to Prince Bisa marck upon the subject of potato rot t and after giving his singular views at great leng.th, he concluded with the Statement that if the ErnpoTor, William, said that* subsoil ploughing was uot good iu ligllt soils, oi- that guano was better thau bone dost, he was a ‘liar, a villian, and a slavy l* Os course the Emperor aldo immediately declared war, and became an ally of Rus-‘ sia and England, against which latter coutt* try Mr. Greeley had actually’ begun hos tilities already, because the Queen, in b©P speech from the throne, had declared thd Tribune’s advocaby of a tariff on pig irotl incendiary, and calculated to disturb thd peace of ’ Unhappily this Was not die full meastird of our disasters. The Piesideot bad sent to the Emperor of Austria a copy of hid book‘What I know/&c., with his auto graph upon a fly-deaf. The Emperor mis took the signature for a caricature of* the Austrian eagle, and he readily joined tbs war against thd United States; whihi EranCe yfftfl nravaki>ri.ju> - wiraietOx came to Call iipoh Mr. Greeley to present his credentials, the President who was wri> ting an editorial at the lime L not compre hending tne French language, mistook the ambassador for a beggar, and Without look ing up handed him a quarter ipid »a -order for a clean shirty afjd said to him, 4 Gd West, young man—go West.* PRSSIDENT OrIeLEY AND CABINET fiANGfeD* So all these nations joined in making war open the United Stales. They swoop ed down upon our. coasts and landed with out opposition, for those exposed of our unhappy country tfrere Absolutely deserted. The President was afraid to call away the army from Kansas at first; for feai the outraged people upon the plain! would come East in spite of him. But at last he did sumnlon the atniy to his aid, and it moved to meet the enemy. It was" too late. Before the troops reached Cin cinnati the foreigners had seized Washing* ton and all the country east ofThe Ohio; and had hung the President, the Cabinet, and every metrtber of Congress. The ar my disbanded in alarm, and the invaders, moved to the far West; -where they found the population dying of starvation because they had followed tfie advice of Greeley'd book to ‘Try, for your first crop, to raisd limes; and don’t plant more than a bushel of quicklime in a hill P Os course these wretched people were at the mercy of the enemy; who—to his credit be it said—trees ted them kiudly, fed them, aod brought them back to their old homes. You know what followed—how Prince Frederick William, of Prussia, ascended •he American throne, and the other bomilia ations that ensued, ft was a fearful blow to Republicanism—a blow from which it will never recover. It. made us, who were free men, a nation of slaves* It was alt resu.lt of our blind confidence in a mis guided old man who thought himself a phi losopher, hat who was actually a fool.
