Among the numerous discoveries Science has made in
this generation to facilitate the business of life—increase
iis.enjoymcnt. and even prolong the term of human ex
istence, none can be named of more real value to man
kind, than this contribution ofC lie mis try to the Healing
A r t. A last trial of its virtues throughout this broad
country, lias proven beyond a doubt, that no medicine
or combination of medicines known, can so surely con
trol and cure the numerous varieties of pulmonary dis
ease which have hitherto swept from our midst thou
sands and thousands every year. Indeed, there is now
abundant reason to believe a Remedy has at length been
found which urn bo relied on to the must danger
ous affections of the lungs. Our space here will not
permit us to publish any proportion of the cures affected
bv its use, but we would present the following opinions
of eminent men, and refer further enquiry to the circular

Division of California.
Tire division of California is becoming
n topic of cnnsiderabti di-mssion among
llte people of that Sl)tle, and ;p|tears Hr
he near ly onanittinoslv de-ired in tlie
Sontbern portion. There are three
newspapers engaged m supporting it
earr.csllv Mini roiitinimlly, and others
lake oerttsioiltil interest in examining lit -
qoestioti wilhool po-itivel taking side-.
None of the Sail Francisco papers hare
vet taken op the sol.j-cl with mil ill leal,
alihoiigll Sail Franeiscn will he im ln.l
ed in the Soothero portion, which, if the
project succeeds, will return into tire ler
rilntial condition. Rut we sr-e nu vm
strong -igi.s of oppo-itioo to division.—
T he plan, as presented in the resolutions
of public meetings, would take from the
State as now constituted, the comities of
San Francisco, Contra Costa, Sants
Clara, San Joaquin. Calaveras, Tnolo
mene, Mariposa, Santa Cf> z, Monti re\,
S.rntt* Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Los
Allgr les, ami S-rn Ciego—thirteen enmi
ties—which contain more lit to one half
the an-a, and one-third of the population
of llte State. Tile favorite idea at pres
ent is to organ!/.- this part of the Stale
into a territory ,lo Ire receded hark to
the. United Stales, leaving llte Northern
portion a State undi r its prisent con-ti.
tminn, amended to suit its new boun
daries. But we observe that other plans
are suggest-(I, though not much debated
yet. One proposes to abandon the
State Government altogether and have
two territorial governments; and anoth
er is, to create anew Slate at on- e trot
of the Southern (livi-iort. The first i
a mere fancy speculation, and there is no
probability that it will get supporters.—
The diliirnhies in tire erection of w m
territory-rot of organis’ and portion-of a
subsisting State, and die danger nf giv
ing o.ca-ioii lor the revival of extinct
controversies, will make it deisrahle to
avoid the ailiempi to form anew terri
tory in that region, and ro leave tire
control of their dome guy a/Turk with die
people thc-uigelves. In the formation
of anew State Government they can
have tin- opportunity to make any new
provisions which tlreir particular inter
. esis and eon-ibimi require.
The formation of two Stales out ofoiic,
by the divi-iun of a Stale, is a very easy
operation if lire Slat- de-ites it; and
Congress has untiring to say in the mat
ter until it is failed upon to admit the
new State. There arc precedents alrea
’ dv in die formation -of Kentucky out of
I Virginia and Maine out of Massachusetts.
Virginia first gave her consent try act of
the Lefci-luiure. A conveniioti was call
. ed in Kentnckv, and the convention at
truce made ‘application to Congress for
! admission ag a State, and wasactoaTy
ai'mi'lcd Ip a prospective law in advance
of tfte adoption of the constitution. in
the cage of Maine, the Stale authorities
proceeded with equal independence ol
.my previous consent try the federal an
• fhoriiics. Tire Massachusetts Legisla
ture firs! gave its consent It* the declared
wi-lies us til*- District ol .Maine, and the
people of l,lie and Strict then formed their
constitution ami erected themselves into
i a Stale, and application was thereupon
1 made (o Congress toll net ion Ifrese pro
ceedings by admitting the new State into
lire Uiiioo. The pbrast ologv of the act
of admi-kioo i-h little peculiar. It re
cites in the preamble lire nd of die State
ol Massachusetts the source id author
ity in the er-ctioo of “an imlepende ot
Slate” fry the people of the District of
Maiue, and die fnritialtoM of s coo-lito
lion in pursuance nf dial act ; ami there
upon it declares the said Slate “to he
out of ike Untied States us North Ameri
ca, ami admitted into tile Uiioh on wo
equal footing with the original States,
Ml all respects w it-lever.’’ In iieithe’ -
cage, Kentucky M'*r Maine, was any erwr
.cut or uoih-.ritatioH by Congress ri-ked
for its- claimed ns ocres-aiy. All tile
step-, from ike fer.l preliminary move
in-oi op tr the appearance of the Hew
State to ask a place in the Union, were
made mi tin* sole authority of the Siateg
tespet-iively Irum which they were cre
ated.
The division of a State iu the Union,,
with a view r| >nrrendering a portion of
the territory amt people to the jorisrfir.
lion of the United States, presents anoth
er question. There are precedents in
deed, nf cession* of vacant . lands, of
which the United Stales has accepted
jutitdiefion, and which Congress subse
quently formed into territories. Out of
socli cessions by Virginia the North,
we-tera States were created ; and Ten
nessee, Alabama and Mississippi have
arisen not of similar cessions from North
Carolina, Sooth Carolina and Georgia.
But in all these cases, the lands were
unorganized and unappropriated, and in
tact nearly uninhabited. No form ol
g.-vernn eid of jurisdiction had been ex
tended over them. In California the
case is ilifTereut. The country inis a
complete political organisation, ii divid
ed into countries, and largely peopled,
and forms a powerful portion of an exist
ing sovereignly. It will lit- a urw- case
for a S site* to divide itself, and, abdica
ting a portion of its sovereignty, in fact
to iem uul one third of its citizens In a
t* rritni ial condition, and for tire United
Sort- s to accept such an abdication from
one nf tin* Slates of tie Union for its
own benefit. It ig a novel case, and
though the power so to receive may he
perhaps sustain -d.the exercise may well he
tvnided, when it is possible without pro
ducing any seriottg g rievance to llte coun
try. Tire imonveniences of the present
site’of California, an I the* diversities of
iutere-ts in the northern and soortltern
sections may well justify au anxiety fnr
separation, but it i- well umili consider
ing whither all pr iper objects will tint lie
better advanced, ami the desired end

Condemnation and Trial of Mr.
Thrasher.
We have written condemnation, first
fnr i* is very evident front the report of
the mock tti and of Mr. TllKvsitKK, which
is contained in tin- New Orleans Piat
yui*', that tile unfortunate mao was con
demned before lie was even confronted
with bis accusers and judges, lire farce
before the Court Martial was almost pre
cisely as we described the Spanish mode
of proceeding in such cases in otir ar
ticle of I rsl week. If any different it was
wor-e, for iu addition to tin* gross in
justice and unfairness us the whole pro
ceeding the already condemned man wa
lorceil to hear the scoffing jests and cru
el insolence of lire loyal DnGBtHUIY who
officiated its President of the Court.—
The following extract from a Havana
letter in the N. 0. DUu w ill give the
reader a correct idea of Mr. Thrasher's
trail:
Th’ Court re-assembled, —an ordin
ary court-martial Brigadier Geo, Vargas,
President, with >i.\ members, —at tire
place and day appointed, at 10 r’r lock.
The Crown Attorney, or Fiscal, read
over the declarations aud proofs of the
charge, and the prisoner was brought
forward to answer, being under guard.—
The counsel, or attorney for the prison
er, with whom lie had had uo opportun
ity of advice orconusel, read to the Court,
some thirty lines of defence ; forja Spans
isli captain, I presume, it was a grand
perpetration—for the prisoner, it was
fatal, —in brief making the declaration,
as near as I cart render it. “ That he
dhl not think the crime had been proved
against tire prisoner, whereupon, lie urg
ed upon the Court to consider the Pro,
pr hty of commuting the punishment to
bani-lmvenf, or something lighter than to
the quit k-ilvermines or picsidin for eight
year-.” Heaven save the maik!
Mr. Thrasher was a-ked by President
Vargas (let nu honest heart forget him.)
“ ifhe hail any thing to gay,” in a I*llll
- grnffnefs of voice. He replied that
l*v had—bowing to the a igust tribunal
with a courtesy that annoyed that
chief: “ that he had been surprised in
these proceedings—he had not been ttd
v ised of the nature of the charge- against
bins—that he had not been allowed I * de
fence guarantied by treaty—-nr time to
produce testimony.” Vargas put in,
about this point, “ :w hour of time before
a tribunal of this character, is art age I’’
Pregnant with meaning, llte bombast
sentence of this judge, Mr. T. replied,
“ that the Governin’ m had had twenty
two hours to his two, iu the three d.rvs
that Ire had been permitted In cmumoni.
cate with his friends, besidt s the tmcootil..
ed time of secret pre panel ion “ Mr. T.
protested in firm and manly tours against
the whole proceeding, as contravening
Spani-h justice aud law, as well as in
violatibli rrftht first Lw of nations, writ- l
ten.in our treaties with the Spanish Gov
i-riinreitt. He read a strong defence, ‘
which tva* upp. it Ird to the proceedings.
| TERMS) $2 iu Advance.
At all points where lie alluded to the
United States—to the primary obliga
tions of treaty, he was coarsely interrupt
ed by the noble Catalan President; hut
with unaltered lone—unmoved nerve, he
proceeded, always bowing with natural
anti inimitable composure to his judges,
in a< know ledgnieut of their remarkable
courtesy and nice sense of justice. On
one occasion the court was cleared to set
le some matter of consistency which when,
“ proforma,” the decision asked for hv
the Queen’s counsel to approve by the
judges, was read to the prisoner and the
public. This was the public trial of
John S. Thrasher, w herein I could not
(fist over the proof of any one fact, save
that it was a heating of words—that the
arrogant chief was there, and llte noble
prisoner before him unsubdued—not
craven in the dust.
How long w ill our Government sub
mit to such insolence and outrage ?
The Spauish Flying Machine.
T lie inventor of this contrivance, Don
Diego de Sahimanco nnd his daugilter
tire about to arrive at Paris, to show the
effects of this marvellous invention.—
The machine is very simple; it consists
of u case two (eel long and one foot wide,
adapted to a hand of leather round the
wais, buckled behind. Two iron roads,
fastened to the cast- support a small piece
of wood, on w hich die feet repose. The
case contains a simple and ingenious
mechanism similar to that employed to
set an antomotion in motion. The me
chanism is worked lv means of n handle.
It sets in work two large wings ten feet
long, made of very thin caoun hone
covered with leathers, and the ings may
he so worked as to produce vertical, per
pendicular, or horizontal flying. The
number of turns given to tire handle de
termines the height to which it is doited
to go. Th handle has also to be turned
every quarter of a league, to regulate
tlie distance. The operation of turning
lasts a minute. Horizontal flying is (he
most d(limit; the wings heat (he air like
the oars of a boat, or rath*, r as the feet of
the swan when it swims. By means of
this curious machine a man can go almost
as rapidly as a carrier-p'genu, from the
H-del de Ville to the Arc de Tromphe
de I’Kioille in eight minutes, and iu half
an hour to Versailles.
