Col. X. NJ. Johnson accepted an invitation
TO attend the Oregon Convention which was held
at Cincinnati on the 81 inst. His letter closes
with the following paragraph:
"We owe a solemn duty TO ourselves,
to generations yet unborn, and to God
who has smiled upon us, and has always

this continent to which we, as 4 people,
have a just claim. Every day that we

Columbus upon the Shore-An Ital-
ian sculptor, at Naples, has finished a
group in marble for our Government, to
be placed in the Capitol, at Washington,
representing Columbus in the act Of set
ting his foot upon the shore, full Of pride
and triumph, and an Indian woman who
appears to be Fastening from the spot in
the greatest alarm at the strange spectacle,
yet stealing glance in curiosity and
wonder at the inruders. The action and
expression are said to be admirable. But,
we should like to know why some one
of our American sculptors was not en-
ployed to execute this work 1t is GER
tainly highly appropriate that subjects,
designed for the National Capitol, should
show the eminent abilities Of the Arts of
our country-and in sculpture as well as
in other departments Of the Fine Arts, we
have no reason to fear comparison with
those Of ether countries.

Hon. JOHN ". NHeS.-We have al
read y noticed the rumor that Mr.. Niles
thought of resigning his seat in the Uni
ted States Senate. The Hartford cores
ponden, of the New Haven Courier says:
Mr.. Niles has for some three months past
been very much out Of health, having
been gradually sinking under most dis
tressing attack Of hyPochondria, until his
general health is very much impaired and
his friends are seriously alarmed for his
recovery. So severe is his present i'll
ness that his friends are more or less ap-
prehensive that he will sink into a state
Of idiotcy, and | understood that for some
time past he has not been allowed to re-
main alone any length Of time, for fear of
his committing suicide. He is now and
has been for some time, al the house of
his brother in Poquonnock, and has some
one constantly in attendance uAon him.
There are various rumors aaoaIe.o about
Mr.. Niles attempting 10 hang himself a
few days since, but have not been able
to trace the story TO any responsible
source, and doubt its truth. At any rate,
he is in very bad ray, and his condi-
ton is source of great affection to his
friends.-N. Louis Republican.

Mr.. Biddle.-For the last two or three
days, have heard Of rumors Of the most
painful character relative to the health and
condition of mind Of Mr.. Nicholas Bid

under species of mental alteration,
brought upon him by sudden reverses Of
fortune and deep distress of mind. The
source from whence the above informa-
ton is derived may be relied upon. Mr..
Biddle remains at his residence at Anda-
lusia, on the Delaware few miles above

The Miller Tent DemoHShca!-If the
end of the world has not come the end of
tho tent has. Some three hundred men
and women were listening to a sermon on
Saturday morning, when the rain came
up with such fury, as to snap the tent
stakes asunder like pipe stems, and to
cause it to hay its liberated extremities
about the persons Of the astonished audi
encc, with a dexterity which would have
reflected honor upon Russian noursher
Of the knout.
The alarmed multitude, Tor some of
them,) tanced for moment that the "cnd
had comc," bu! with one exception, there
seemed to be no joy in the idea. One
individual onl y was heard by our infor-
mant to shout "Amen!" as the huge cam
vas came rafting down upon the heads of
the congregation. The gentleman who
was preaching, prudenty sought safety
in flight, while co-laborer threw himself
flat upon his face in a puddle of water!
The ladies' screamed of course, and
rushed with what power they could mus
ter Tor open space. But it was slow
work. The heavy saturated canvass,
flapping about in the gale, was no mean
barrier against retreat. And when retreat
was effected, many found themselves sans
shoes, sans bonnets and few sans almost
anything. The rain came down in tor
rents but the alarmed congregation were
thankful to escape with whole though wet
skins. No one was seriously hurt

THE Erie.-Those engaged in raising
the wreck Of the Erie are successfully
employed with their diving bell in getting
up the machinery. SO accurately were
they enabled to designate the place by
means OF the compass, and by the ranges,
that though the buoys were all moved by
the ice last spring, they replaced them,
and on the first time of letting down the
bell, it struck upon the boat. The utility
OF the compass with which the discovery
was made, is thus fairly tested. We un-
derstand II can be successfully used in

Divide nus, Gouuupr,

The spirit of the people Of the West is
decidedly Democratic and we may safe
ly say that the Federal party never did
and never can succeed except through in
trlgue and deceit. Consequently, the
grand feature in federal tactics, is always
to throw discord into our ranks. Every
other trick and device having become
stale-uttcrly useless in the present cam.
pagn-theIr whole effort is now directed
to the old cut.throat game of setting demo-
crai upon democrat. TO accomplish this
end, money is poured ont like water.

Clear as 4Hud.-Mr. Brownson gives
the following clear explanation of the
''evils Of life :"
"Thc evil there is in society and nd,
viduals does not spring from an original
quality, but from secondary quality. II
consists III our loss of unity, and attemp-
ting to live in quality, that is to say, in
multiplicity alone. Its remedy is in at
tanning to unity, which shall convert the
quality into Trinity; that is, in attain
ing to unity in multiplicity, and multiple
city in unity, which gives at once unity
and universally. This is my doctrine,
and do not see that you suggest any
thing that goes beyond it,"

Death from the Locusts.-A writer
in the Newark IN. j. Eagle, says, the
locusts of the present year, are dying off
very rapidly. None Of the present tribe
have been seen on Long Island. There
appear to be two kinds of these locusts,
that portion of them that does the singing
are SAID to be harmless, but there are
others which make no noise, and whose
bite or sting is rank poison. We have
heard within a few days of as many as
six deaths accustomed by the sting of
these noseless locusts. A child dicd in
this city last week, after a few days i'll
ness, having been stung on the arm by
one with which it had been playing. 1t
would be advisable, therefore, to avoid
them in future.
