Reception of Gen. Ileunlngscn at
NEW YORK. .
Whilst New Orleans lias been getting up a
spontaneous demonstration in honor of General
Walker, in which “ ten thousand ” of its citi
zens are said to have participated in cheers
and plaudits on the occasion of Ins arrival in
that city. New York has done the honors in
like manner to General Henningsen, the first
in command under the gallant Walker. At
New York, General Henningsen landed amid
repeated cheers, and a general rush of the
crowd.
Among those on the steamer’s pier were
Col. Fabens, Colonel Frank Anderson, the
Walker Nicaraguan Consul, Gen. Cazencau,
Thomas Francis Meagher, Captain Bolton and
many other distinguished sympathizers m the
cause, who had prepared an open barouche,
drawn by four iron grey horses, for the Gen
eral’s use. As soon as he was able to get
ashore, which he accomplished before the ves-
was fairly into her dock, the General was es
corted to the baronche by some of his friends,
surrounded by an immense crowd ot people.
The barouche was then driven off up Chambers
street to Broadway, and thence to the St.
Nicholas Hotel, followed by another carriage
filled with his personal friends.
Modern Mnclianics,
Few persons are aware of the amount ofla-
bor and risk involved in the production of such
castings as are now required for our mammoth
steamship engines. The furnaces employed
n founderies will each hold but two or three
tons of melted metal at the utmost, and the
metal must in all cases be poured into a mould
iu a large continuous stream. For large cast-
jnrrs thick reservoirs of fire brick are provided
and filled by slow degrees from the furnaces
the sides being of sufficient thickness to re
tain the heat. The preparation of the mould
requires many weeks’ labor. Some time since
an invention was chronicled, winch consisted
of an improved method of preparing wrought
iron, so as to render it capable of being pour
ed or cast into moulds, for the production of
malleable castiugs. or 'articles possessing all
the strength and qualities due to wrought iron.
The invention, though destined chiefly for
the manufacture of railway wheels, is equally
applicable to the production of other articles.
Scrap or wrought iron is employed, or bars or
plates cut into small pieces, and it must be
melted into crucibles, such as are used for
melting blister steel. To a charge su.tab.c in
amount to the crucible one-half of one per
cent, of charcoal by weight, one per cent, of
manganese, and one of sal ammonia are added,
The whole is covered from the atmosphere,
and melted in a temperature of about louu
degrees Farenheit, which temperature is main
tained for three hours. The metal is then
poured into moulds. Other carbonaceous mat
ter may be substituted for charcoal. Hie iron
thus cast will, it is stated, become malleable
80 a3 to be capable of being treated under the
hammer in aforge nnd framed intoothershr.pcs,
and thus also part of the iron may be shaped
in moulds, aud part completed by forging.

He next served a campaign with the Russian
army in the Caucasus, and wrote some “ Rev
elations of Russians,” which were re-produced
in the United service Magazine. He also joined
the Hungarians in their struggle against the
Austrians. His attention was then turned to
the subject of improvements in firearms, and
upon his arrival in this country he superin
tended the construction of the first Mime ever
made here. He also devoted much time to
literature, and wrote, among other books,
The White Slave,” a picture of Russian
serfdom. His books have ebtaiued a consid
erable circulation, and more substantial advan
tages seem to have attended the use of his pen
than that of his sword. His foreign service
has brought him abudancc of fame apparent
ly, but very little beside. His services in
Nicaragua under Walker are familiar to our
readers, and probably the most lucky incidont
in his career is his escape from the Costa Rican
forces with a whole skin.—New York Post.
Slavery Julhc N. S. Presbyterian
CHDRCH.
The Report on Slavery presented in the
New School Assembly at Cleveland, on Mon
day, stated that 27 memorials on the subject
of Slavery were banded to the Committee, of
which number 11 came from Ohio and J f l ' oul
New York. The report is signed by Rev
Drs. Allen, Wallace, Burcbard and Cleland
and Messrs. Griswold and Hastings. It de
clares that the Assembly can never consent to
the idea that Slavery ought to be perpetual,
and that the Apostles never thought that Slav
ery was on a level with the natural relations,
but that they simply bore with it for the time.
The report divides the question in two classes,
and counsel moderation and charity, but m the
main censures the practice of slaveholding.
Its reading created a great excitement.—*u-

Flower Culture for the Ladies,
Gardening was anciently considered the sec
ond of the tine and agreeable arts, ranking
next to architecture. It is a beautiful occupa
tion for a leisure hour, giving those who have
a taste for the beautiful and valuable, delight
and gain. It should be a favorite occupation
for a lady, who should have her plants aud
shrubs, and occupy herself one or two hours a
day with them. It is a mistaken idea, that in

Netherlands; J- N. Diller, of IHi-
n,‘iTConsul to Bremen; W. Thompson, of
New York, Consul to Southampton- Gabriel
Flcurat, of New York, Consul to Bordeaux.
With him concurs Mr. Justice Grier, who
states his opinion upon this point as follows :
The record shows a prima facie case of juris
diction, requiring the Court to decide all the
questions properly arising in it; and as the
decision of the pleas in bar shows that the
plaintiff is a slave, and therefore not entitled
to sue iu a court of the United States, the form
of the judgment is of little importance; for
whether the judgment be affirmed or dismis
sed for want of jurisdiction, it is justified by
the decision of the Court, and is the same in
effect between the parties to the suit.
On the other hand, Mr. Justice McLean
holds that the pleadings do not show that the
court below had no jurisdiction: he then pro
ceeds to examine the case on its merits and
concludes that the judgment of the Circuit
Court should be reversed, not for the reasons
which induced the Supreme Court itself to
come to the same conclusion, but because he
thinks it erroneous. Mr. Justice Curtis dis-
seuts from the opinion of the Court and holds
that the plea in the Circuit Court was defec
tive as to setting forth the disabilities of the
plaintiff, and that “the judgement of the Cir
cuit Court should be reversed, and the case re
manded for a new trial."
From this it appears that the opinions of
seven out of nine Justices, were in opposition
to the claim of Dred Scott; but that upon
merely technical questions they held almost
every possible variety of opinion. Justices
Taney, Wayne, Daniel and Campbell held
that the Circuit Court had no jurisdiction—
Justices McLean-and Curtis that it had juris
diction. Justice Catron thought the state of
the pleadings showed jurisdiction—-Nelson,
that the state of the pleadings made it unne-
cesary to pass on the question of jurisdiction
Grier, that there was apparent on the re
cord a prima facie case of jurisdiction. Justi
ces Taney, Wayne aud Daniel considered that
the case should be remanded to the Circuit
Court to be dismissed—Justices McLean and
Curtis, that it should be sent back for a new
trial-Catron and Nelson, that judgment should
be affirmed—Grier and Campbell, that it
should either be affirmed or be directed to be
dismissed, nnd it was of little consequence
which course was pursued, as this was a mere
matter of form.

plants can produce no effect of sufficient con
sequence to injure the health of poisons who
occupy them, but, on the contrary, will afford
amusement to the mind, and cxcre.se to the
body, both of which arc so necessary to the ever seen
enjoyment of good health. The nnnd will be
agreeably exercised in contemplating the beau
ty of the flowers, but more so still, it the stud}
of their respective parts, natures, and struc
il t
turcs, in a botanical and physiological point of
view, be at the same time attended to.—
House-plants should be kept clean and well
aired. They respire by the leaves, as animals
do by their breathing nppratus, and it is on
this account that keeping the leaves clean is so
very essential to the health of plants ; indeed,
the dust which collects on them, and interrupts
their respiration, is one of tlie greatest evils
which can befal plants, especially those kept
in rooms; the respiring powers are generally
large in proportion as the leaves arc so, and
this is one of the reasons why delicate leaved
plants are not so well adapted for house cul
ture as those which have the leaves larger and
firmer. House-plants are also greatly benefit
ed bv being placed outside of doors in the
summer months especially, during gentle

Fugitive Slave Case iu Obio.
Brief mention has already been made in our
telegraphic column in relation to what appears
to be a serious conflict in Ohio between Stati
and federal authority, growing out of an at
tempt of the deputy United States marshal
and liis assistants to arrest certain parties it
that State who stand charged, as is alleged
with harboring aud concealing a fugitive slave
In tho Cincinnati Gazette (black republican)
of last Friday’s issue we find the following
account of the arrests and the rescue:
“ There has been great excitement during
the last two days in Green county, Ohio, in
consequence of the arrest of four individuals
charged with aiding a slave to escape. On
Tuesday United States Deputy Marshal Chur
chill, accompanied by eleven assistants, left
this city for Mechanicburg, Champaign county,
Ohio, eleven miles from Urbana, having with
him a warrant issued by Commissioner New-
hall, for the arrest of Charles aud Edward
Taylor, brother, Russell Hyde, and Hiram
Guttridge, who, says the warrant, did, about
the 22st day of August, 1856, harbor aud con
ccal one Add White, a person owing service
and labor to Daniel G. White, of Flemings-
burg, Kentucky, who had previous to said
date, escaped into the State of Ohio, and, was
then a fugitive from such service and labor, so
as to prevent the discovery and arrest of the
said Add White. Tlie offence charged, it will
be observed, is not that the slave was aided in
his escape from his master in Kentucky by
the four accused persons, but they sheltered
and protected him in Ohio; or, in other words,
they ‘put him through’ on the under-ground
railroad. The penalty for the offence is a fine
of a thousand dollars and imprisonment.”
“ On Wednesday morning the deputy mar
shal left Urbaua with his posse, in hired car
riages, and in Mechanicburg and the neighbor
hood succeeded in arresting the four accused
individuals. While the arrests were in pro
gress, the most intense excitement was created
in the vicinity. The news spread rapidly, and
a determination was expressed to use every
means the law provides to rescue the prisoners
from the hands of the border ruffians, as the
officers were called, whose sole object, it was
confidently though erroneously asserted, was
to take them over to Kentucky and lynch them.
“A writ of habeas corpus was procured from
a judge in Champaign county, and the sheriff
attempted to serve it; but before he could d_o
so, the officers had conducted the prisoners be
yond the bounds of the county. A second
warrant was then procured in Clarke county.
The sheriff in this instance pursued and came
up with the party; but they refused to obey
the writ. The sheriff not having force to com
pel obedience, they procceedcd on their jour
ney to this city. A third writ was then ob
tained in Green county, and the sheriff of that
county, with his posse, served it upon the Uni
ted States officers at six o’clock yesterday
morning, in Jamestown. The United States
officers resented the act of the county officers
in seizing their horses’ reins before making
known their business. A warm altercation
eusued. The sheriff and his men were assis
ted by an excited crowd of two or three hun
dred persons. Rifles and — J ' -.r-r
tfofr sTOoborn. lmt superior numbers prevailed,
and the deputy marshal, with all liis posse,
were made prisoners, a despatch received yes
terday afternoon stated that they were to be
sent last night to Springfield tor trial.”
The Cincinnati Enquirer of Saturday morn
ing thus notices the arrest and subqucnt im
prisonment of the deputy United States mar-
“ All the reports concur as to the main facts
of the great outrage recently committed at
Xenia in the forcible resistance of the deputies
of the United States marshal while engaged m
executing a writ issued by the United States
commissioner, and their arrest and detention
by a sheriff of one of the counties, aided by a
lawless mob. There is no doubt or difficulty as
to the authority of the marshals ; the fact of
their having the prisoners in custody, and the
legality of the officer from whom the writ is
sued. The naked questions are then present
ed. whether the United States government has
the power to enforce the process of its courts
withiu the State of Ohio! whether the popu
lace or the State authorities can, upon their
private convictions or ideas as to the right and
justice of the laws of Congress, set aside and
disregard the authority of the federal judicato
ry J and whether the general government will,
under any circumstances, and from an appre
hension of any consequences, submit to such
contempt and violation of its power and dig-
nity? The test case has now arisen. The
deputies of the United States marshal are now
in the custody of the sheriff of Green county.
They must be rescued and released at all haz
ards, or henceforth the federal government
is without weight or respect withiu this State.
It is quite vain to incur the expense of a fed
eral judicary here if it is to be thus made the
sport of a mob, the scorn of the populace.
Some further particulars will be |found in
the subjoined telegraphic despatches :
“Cincinnati, May 29.—The United States
marshal telegraphed* to the Secretary of the
Interior to-day for instructions regarding the
arrest and imprisonment of the United States
officers at Springfield, but the nature of the in
structions has not transpired. .
“Jud^o Leavitt, of the United States dis
trict court, issued a writ of habeas corpus to
day, and the United States Marshal has gone
to Springfield to serve it. In case of resist
ance being offered, it is reported the United
States troops will be called out.”

advised in regard to the true merits of the
ease, it would be unreasonable to look for any
official interposition from this quarter.
Coining New Cents at the Mint.
The Philadelphia Ledger says the demand
for the new cent pieces in that city is unabated.
Of the mode of making this coin at the mint
it says;
There are at present nine presses engaged
in making the impressions upon this new coin,
five mills are also in constant operation form
ing the rim on the coin previous to receiving the
impression. These last named machines are
capable of making rims upon three various
kinds of coin at the same time; at present,
however, they are engaged upon the new cent
exclusively. About one hundred persons in
all are constantly engaged in the operations of
the mint, and at the^ present time the whole
force arc employed on the “cent.” Each of
the presses throw off eighty-six finished coins
per minute. At this rate, working from nine
o’clock, A. M. till three o’clock'P. M., the nine
presses throw off each day the sum of $2,786,
40 in cents; that is, providing the presses are
kept going regularly.
Sixty thousand dollars of this coin, six mil
lion pieces, were paidout on Monday and Tues
day, and orders are still coming in from all
quarters of the Union, even from the south and
southwest, where the old cent never obtained
circulation—lowest prices there being gradu
ted by the smallest silver coin. From present
indications the old cent will be hurried out of
use and out of sight, even sooner than were
the Spanish fractions of a dollar.
Does the Earth Revolve Daily J
It has long been a favorite theory of astron
omers, believed by many to be verified by the
facts, that the earth revolves daily; but a
writer in the London Chronicle says he can
prove the theory untrue. Follow him;
The distance of the sun from the earth is
eighty-two millions of miles, and placing the
sun in the centre of the ecliptic, the diameter
will be at least 164 millions of miles, and the
circumference 515.221,195 miles, which
about 3G5i days it is said the earth surrounds,
at the rate of 1,410,598 miles each day, or 58,
77422-24 miles each hour, which is 979 34-GO
miles every minute of time. Now, suppose
the poles of the world are to be placed perpen
dicular, the earth would move horizontally
around the ecliptic circle; but if said poles are
to be horizontally placed, then the earth would
have to ascend and descend in surrounding
the circle. The solar systemists also as
sert the earth has a daily revolution of more
than 1000 miles every hour; who can believe
this when the earth advances nearly 1000 miles
every minute of time ? I declare I can de
monstrate the earth has not a daily revolution.
the cotton crop the most unpromising he has
ever seen. It is his opinion, that with the
most favorable weather from now till picking
time, more than half a crop cannot reasonably
be expected iu the counties named. The stands
of cotton arc not only bad, but what did come
up has a sickly, stunted appearance, which he
does not think it can ever recover from, even
with the most favorable seasons; in addition
to which a great deal of it is dying outright,
in some instances leaving intervals in rows of
twenty or thirty yards, of scarcely a single
stalk: We hear like complaints trom other
quarters, and hence we conclude that the
growing crop will not reach beyond that of
last year, if it even amounts to as much.
The corn crops look better, but are very
backward. With favorable seasons, however,
a fair crop maybe reasonably calculated upon,
and all the panic about breadstuff's may be
may be safely put to rest. The wheat and
oat crop in tlie section above alluded to, though
they form but a small portion of its staple pro
ductions, is the most promising ever known,
and if no disaster happens to it before harvest,
the yield will be unprecedented.—gun.
Bounty Land Warrants.—During the
past month 1,933 applications for bounty
land were received at the Pension office,
and 3,439 warrants issued, to satisfy which
will require 513,000 acres of land. The
total number of warrants issued is 205,058.
To satisfy these warrants will require 25,'
325,050 acres of public land.

A Legal Decision.
A case of interest to Railroad Companies
was decided last week in the Circuit Court of
Prince William county, Virginia. Ihe suit
was instituted to recover the value of two
mules, a horse, and a cow killed by the tram
of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad Com
pany on unoccupied lands, and was conducted
on both sides by eminent counsel. On the ap
plication of the defendant the Court instructed
the Jury that Railroad Companies in V lrgima
are not liable for the killing of stock on the
commons, without proof of negligence or care
lessness in the management of the tram at the
time of killing. Verdict for defendant.
The Richmond Enquirer says that about
three years ago, Miss Anne W. r l aliaferro, ot
King William county, Va.. emancipated 4U
negroes, giving each $150. They were placed
in a quaker settlement in Ohio, by E. W. Scot t
executor of the estate. A few weeks since
Mr. Scott had occasion to visit them on busi
ness, and found them in a wretched condition,
almost starving. One of the children had been
stolen, and several liad died for want of atten
tion and tlie necessaries of life. They begged
Mr. Scott to allow them to return with him to
Virginia and go into slavery.

Macon, April 7.1857.
Deputy Marshal Churchill and his assistants
were brought before Justice Christie, at fepnng-
field, this morning.
“.Messrs. Elliott and Churchill were arraign
ed on two charges—one for assaulting Deputy
Sheriff Compton, and the other for assaulting
Sheriff Layton with intent to murder.
“Messrs. Churchill and Elliott asked, through
their counsel, that the amount of bail be fixed
for their apDearance at the next term of the
common pleas. Their bail was fixed at v~,-
500 each on both charges. Ihe balance of
the party, eight in number, were required to
give bail in the sum of SlO.OOO, and, rcfusin 0
to do so, were all committed to jail.
The case as it now stands, confused and
even contradictory though it may be, reveals a
state of feeling among that class of P^ e m
Ohio who affect to bo guided in then cnil rc
lations by a higher law than any recognized
by the constitution, which is calculated to ex
cite a deeper feeling than that of o » pp ^f®“““
in the heart of every true patriot. We shall
defer further comments until we arc m po -
session of all the facts in the case, and in
the meantime tho whole country may rest as
sured that the PresidentwiU discharge his high
constitutional obligations before t e a
promptly, boldly, aud faithfully, and uninflu
enced by any other motives save the honor,
the prosperity and the integrity of the Union;
or to use the language of Secretary Thomp
son, in fcis despatch to the United States mar
shal of Ohio: “Execute the law. Tbe Presi
dent expects you to do your duty, and be will
do liis.” ,
