and is very Justly entitled 10 the thanks
of the whole people, and particularly
those who have been deceived by such
pretending politicians, as Stevenson
and a Rives. These gentlemen must
now fall into the ranks Of Johnson, or
they will be excluded from all partici.
patton in the government of Van Bu-
rem. It.will be equally as fatal to them,
to offend Johnson. as to offend Van

go to England, and Rives, as he cam
not occupy the Presidential chair of
the Senate, may wish to get seat in
the chamber but Leigh will do great
injustice to himself, if he resigns his seat
in that body. The state Of the nation
demands his services, and not the ser.

Talcahuana, is situated in lat. SO AZ
~, Ion. 70 06 w., being the port Of
Conception, and place Of considera.
BILE business. I, has been the general
resort Of American whale ships for
several years past-the harbour being
one of the best on the coast. The town
is situated almost on a level with the
sea, large hills rising in the rear. The
inhabi,ants, when the Coral left were
in most deplorable situation. Capt.
Paul Delano, who is known TO many
of our citizens, and TO every one who
mas visited Talcahuana, has lost his
little property, and was compelled to
take shelter on board the shipping
His beautiful residence, the home Of
our countrymen, whether in prosper.
ity or adversely, is completely swept
away, and himself and lady narrowly
escaped with their lives. No individ.
ual, not holding an official station from
our Government, ever rendered more
substantial benefit to his countrymen
than Captain Delano. Many Of the
perplexing and useless revenue laws Of
the country have been repealed through
his fundamentally. Mr.. Andres, an
honest and honorable. gentleman,
who has done the supplying agency
business oflate years for whale ships,
lost all his property.
The view from the shipping in the
harbor during the different shocks, is
represented by an eye witness as aw-
fully grand and terrific. The unusual
trembling and agitation Of the ship
the commissions and heavings Of the
mountains and plains, as far as the eye
could extend-the sight at distance,
of the bigoted, awe-stricken Catholics,
fleeing, they knew not whittier, for safe.
ty-the violent rushing of the waters
over the ruins Of the thickly populated
town, sweeping the wrecks Of the de-
molished habitations of the rich and
poor, into one common chaos OF ruin,
was calculated to impress the mind of
the beholder with wonder and astonish.
ment at the power of an overriding and
wise Providence.
The number Of lives lost could not
be correctly ascertained. A new ca.
thedral, building in Conception, buried
twenty woTkmen in its ruins. There
were bat two American ships in the
harbor of Talcahuana at the time, be-
sides the Coral-the Milton and the
Nile. A small schooner was driven
from her anchorage and drilted over
the town.

The following very plausible expla-
nation OF the cause Of sea-sickness, from
that excellent little work, the Appren.
tees Companion, shows by theory
what is pretty we'll established, by prac-
tice, that there is no cure for this dis"
tressing malady:
"Why is sea sickness produced on
shipboard1
Because man, strictly TO maintain
his perpendiculari,y, that is to keep the
centre Of gravity always over the sup
port his body, requires standards of
comparison which he obtains chiefly
by the perpendicularity or known po-
sition Of things abou. him, as on land ;
but on shipboard where the masts,
windows, furniture, sc. are constant
ly changing, his standards Of compari.
son are soon lost or disturbed. Hence
slso the reason why persons, unaccus-
toned TO the motion Of ship often
find relief by keeping their eyes direc-
| ted to shore where ii is visible, or by
lying on their backs and shutting their
eyes; and on the other hand the i'll ef-
feet of looking over the side of the ves-
sci at the restless waves of the sea.
Sea.sickness, observes DR.. Arnott,
also depends partly on the irregular
pressure Of the bowels among them
selves; and against the containing
parts when their inertia, or down ward
pressure varies with the rising and
falling of the ship"
The tear ofPity is a diamond of the
mind polished by humanity, which spar
kles in the eye and beams throughout the
soul.
1t is understood that Gen. Jackson de-
clared himself in favor of Col. johnson
az the next Vice President, previous to
that gentleman's recent nomination by
the Baltimore Convention.

REVOLUTION IN PERU.

The editors ofthe New York Journal
of Commerce have been favored with the
following extract ofa letter, dated
LIMA, March 5, 1885.
We regret to inform yeu that we
are again in state OF revolution. On
the oath ult. General Slavery, who
commanded the garrison at Callao, in
stigated the troops to declare against
the Government at Lima, and on the
following day took possession of the
city, declaring himself Supreme Chief
of the Republic. The acting President,
with about 200 troops under the com.
mand of General Nicoen, retired few
hours, before, towards Pasco. The
measures adopted by Salaverry, are
very arbitrary. Large sums have
been raised by forced, loans, and delin-
quents are imprisoned until their quotas
are paid. Many Of the citizens are
secreted, and many fed from the city.
We have never seen more alarm caus.
ed by any of the numerous revolutions
to which we have been exposed. Men
and cattle are daily impressed into the
service of the new Government, and
business is entirely suspended, many
of the stores being closed. Until it be
known what assistance may be afford
ed to Salaverry by the troops in the in'
terror, we can form no opinion of the
result Of his movements, but it seems
to be generally supposed that he will
not be able to sustain himself, and
that he will soon have to retire again
TO the castle of Calao.
In the meantime we shall recon-.
mend to our friends in Valparaiso to
send US no vessels, nor goods until fur
Their notice. Since the revolution we
have not sold, nor have we heard Of
the sale of single package of dry
goods. In the present situation OF the
country, sales cannot be made at any
price. Several vessels are re-soading
the goods which had been landed, and
others leaving without landing a pack
age. -

TRADE ON THE CANAL.-The descen-
ding trade on the Canal at Georgetown
for the last three days ending on Thurs
day the 4th inst, we learn by the Metro
politan, was as follows: Sixteen boats,
containing 730 bush. wheat, 1906 bbls,
-four, 99l bush. rye and chop, / ,53s do.
corn, 1870 do. corn meal, 100 do. rye, 214
bbls. whiskey, 16 cords bark, 900 bush.
lime, 14e do. oats, 900 gun stocks.
The rising crops of wheat and small
grain are generally exceedingly I'm.
promising in many parts of our county.
Not so, however, in our neighborhood.
The prevailing impression among our
farmers seems TO be, that they will turn
out fair average. The clover and
grass are unusually promising. And
we shall have an abundance OF apples,
pears, plumbs, cherries, and other
fruit, with the exception Of peaches,
which were generally killed by the
severe weather of last winter, and the
trees much injured.

that his features were frighlfully swol.

The St, Louis Republican of the Esd

other melancholy affair:
The steamboat Potosi arrived at this
port yesterday morning. We learn by
gentlemen on board Of her, that an alter
cation took place at woodward above
the mouth of Cumberland, between Capt.
Thrashly. of the Potosi, and the owner
of the wood, that, after the conversation,
and as Capt. T. was turning round to the
boat, Proctor struck him upon the head
with stick of wood, which deprived him
of reason. Capt. T. was taken on board
the boat, and Proctor made off. Pursuit
was Immediately commenced, but it was
dark, he could not be found. The boat
then proceeded to Smithland, where
Capt. T. was left, with aUurUeiy hups
of his recovery. Surgical operations had
been performed, but without producing
any change in his condition.--LCapt. T.
is since dead. ]
