From, the National Journal

We have already announced the ELECTION
of Mr.. EATON, as Senator of the United
States, from Tennessee. Itappears, that when
the proposition was made in the Legislature of
that state TO proceed to the election, it was op-
posed by Mr.. Fletcher, whose objections to the
measure are embraced in the following seven
propositions :-"lst. Because it ould be in vio-
lation Of long established presidents: 2dly. Be-
cause there is no emergency in affairs
which demands this departure: 3dly Because
the members of this General Assembly were
not elected with view 10 this election: 4thly.
Because the Legislature ought first to ascertain
the wishes of the people; that those wishes,
when ascertained, may be obeyed 5thly. Be-
cause any measure which has tendency to de-
prive the people of the right 10 instruct their re-
representatives. is a downright infringement of
their privileges: 6thly, Because il is the dutysof
thisLegislature to afford the people an opportu-
nitylo make known & designate the man of,heir
choice: and lastly, Because that opportunity
can only be had at the ensuing August cleo.
tions'' Mr.. Fletcher then moved to postpone
the election until the 10th day Of the next Ge-
neral Assembly; but the motion was negatived
--ayes Ia, noes "a Whatever may have been
the motives in which these objections original
ed. the inference 10 which they necessarily lead,
is. that Mr.. believed that if the people had
been allowed the opportunity to declare their
opinions in relation TO the choice OF Senator,
they would, probably, have shown preference
for some other citizen.

SINGULAR ESCAPE.

The Kentucky Gazette, under the title OF
"No,es on Kentucky,"i is furnishing statements
of its original settlements. Many OF its early
enipran,s are sketched-and several interest
;np anecdotes are woven into the narration. In
the No. Of the Sd inst. we have the following
yerv curious account of a Mr.. Mcconnell;
which almost partakes Of the highest embelilsh-
vents of romance. II was furnished by Mr.
Nice. himself:
aEarly one morning in the year 1871, MIR.
Alexander Mcconnell, who resided IN the neigh
borhood of Lexington, wandered into the
woods on foot in pursuit OF game. Having
succeeded in killing deer at some distance
from home, he found ii necessary 70 return iof
horse on which to carry II OH While ne was
uone FIVE Indians came 10 the spot "here the
deer Law, and naturally concluded that some
one would soon return thither :or IL l hree OF
them remained to watch 1t, and two piaced
themselves in ambuscade near the pain, along
which they rightly supposed the huntsmah
would mass. AS he rode, Therefore, near their
place Of concealment, they shot at h'm,s klilea
The horse under him, and consequently took
h;n, r,;soner. For several days he travelled
ou;e,lv with them, aud as he had good rite,
and WAS AN excellent marksman, they required
him TO shoot deer, buHaloe, SIC. for them. Al
night. however, they used the precaulon OF
having him tightly bound by each arm, and
the rope attached thereto carefully passed un1
der their bodies as they lay on each side OF
him. For some time he quietly submitted 10
this treatment, but at length he ventured to
COMPLAIN that he was bound too tight ana 10
beg that the cords might be tied about him
more loosely. The confidence OF the sayases
increasing, and their apprehension OF his es-
cape diminishing, they yielded to his request
but still continued to bind him at night IN the
same manner, though not SO closely as at INST.
zone night when ,he party had reached the
banks of the Chic, and when he thought IL ne
cessary if possible, to make his escape, ne oo-
served knife lying near his feet as ne was NIX

SINGULAR FISH

A fish was taken off this harbor on Monday
night last, and brought in on Thursday, which
Is said to belong to a species not vet described
by naturaists. II is female, species of the
shark, (squalus) its length is nearly feet, and
it is supposed 10 weigh between and 600 lbs
On Thursday il was OLA blueish ash color light
|er on the belly, with numerous indistinct whit.
ish spots; when first taken the ground was dark
er, and the spots clear white. 1t had an OBJ
fuse snout, large eyes, five spinacles on each
side, and two holes on each side Of the head
like Iamprey-eel. It's teeth were numerous,
small, sharp, in six rows, and lying fiat in the
mouth. It's skin was exceedingly rous h through
out. 1t differs from the blue shark in having
the tail rough on each side, no triangular dent
on the lower part of the back, an ob.use snou,,
skin rougher, and belly not SO " bite.
A great number OF sailors and fishermen have
examined it, and bu! two persons have profess.
ed to have seen any FISH resembling il before
One Of them is Captain Stoodly, Of the, Navy
Yard, who says it is found in the Gulf OF Mex
leo, and in the Gulf ream, that ii differs from
the common species Of shark in being extreme
y sluggish, moving slowly through the water,
and seldom or never chasingits prey. lie saws
il is called by sailors the "blue bottlenoscd
shark" a name which corresponds well with its
appearance.
The fish above named has been stuffed for ey-
hibition; and after i, has answered that purpose,
we hope to see it in the cabinet Of The .Athe-
n9um
The following description was furnished by
correspondent, before the above was prepared
THE Sea Serpent's cousin.-We have seen an
odd fish, brought into our harbor on Thursday
morning by boats crew who caught him Mon
day night while fishing for balibut OIL Jeffrie's
ledge, about AS miles distant The fish mea-
sures 10 feet inches in length, and when laid
on one side on table, about 2 feet through
from the backbone to the belly. The mouth
is nearly a foot in diameter, and opens under
the head, part of which projects 9 or 10 inches
beyond ii; the mouth is furnished with rows
ofteeth. Nostris visible, and air holes
or giils. Its tail is abou, large enough for a
cape TO a great-coat,- and it has four feet or
paws, as long as mans hand, bony, and appa-
rently of considerable strength, armed with
sharp claws of an inch in length. Its skin is
tough, ard It's surface possesses sharpness not
unlike dog -6sh-skia. Ii is now of blueish, or
lead colour, but when first drawn to the top Of
the water, is said to have exhibited the most
brilliant gold coloured spots on a dark ground.
This appearance vanished at the death of the
fish several hours after It was taken.

A SEA BuLL-An lrishman, who served on
board a man Of war in the capacity of waiter,
was selected by one OF the officers to hand in a
low line Of considerable length, that was towing
over the tafel rail After towing in forty or
fifty fathoms, which had put his patience Sc
verely 10 proof, as well as every muscle Of his
arms, he mu,,ered to himself, "By my soul it's
as long as to day and tomorrow! It's good
weeks work for any FIVE in the ship! Bad luck
to arm or leg it'll have me at last!-What?
more of il yet!-Och, murder! the seas NIGH
ty deep to be sure!" When after continuing in
a similar strain, and conceiving there was little
probability of the completion Of his abour,
he stopped suddenly short, and addressing the
