A S SOCI A ITO n.

The opinion is very popular that some
great revolution must take place in mems
minds before the theory of association, can
be carried into practical effect; but such is
not the case. We have an example at pre-
sent in our minds eye. We allude TO the
association of steamboat owners, for several
years past, on the lakes. Competition was
here destroying business, and as a matter of
safety and interest, all the proprietors Joined
their property in a common stock. If we
understand the matter, the principles ofthe
association, are very similar to those of the
industrial associations forming. They have
a President, Board of Directors. and a Sc
cretary. The several owners draw pay in
proportion to the stock they have invested.
and the amount of business or labor they per-
form. Year after year has this association
been kept up, and we suppose it Will CONT
nue. to be kept up, as it is doubtless matter
of direct pccuniary interest to the proprie-
tors. Whether they have ever had any diff
fcnlty in conducting their affairs, we are not
aware, but if they had, it seems they have
all felt and found the association so neccs-
sary and profitable, that minor difficulties
have been thrown aside. The interest of
each has been made the interest of all, and
it would be no kind Of object for the propri-
eter of one boat if he had the best opportu-
nifty in the world, to occasion any injury
TO the boat of an another, because the loss
falls equally upon himself, and on the other
hand an active business, and honorable com
petition is kept up, by that feature which d.
yides to each according tothe amount ofia-
Dor performed. 1t looks to us precisely like
parallel case. Men here, who it might be
supposed would be antagonist, in view Of
the similarity of their occupations, are
without any great change of mind or views,
united in harmony, year after year, by the
bond of mutual interest. WHY not the same
in any other association! We can see nc
reason, why not.

Singular Accident and ProridentiaI Es-
cope.-As porter in the employment of
Mr.. A. Comstock, No. 1872 Water street,
New-York was at work day or two
since, in the fourth story, he accidentally
made msstep, and fell through the hatch
way, the doors Of which were open the en-
tire distance TO the lower floor. He des-
cerded with great velocity, until within
about ten feet ofthe bottom, when, singular
to relate, the hook attached to the end Of
the rope caught him by the leg, and arrested
his further progress. 1t entered his leg
directly behind the knee, making dread
full cash Of three or four inches, from
which the blood flowed profuse!y. Med:
cal aid was Immediately Obtained, ana , ne

hook was of the ordinary size and. shape,
with large knot dire2iIy above it, and it
seems almost miraculous that any portion
of The body should have been caught by 1t.

Romance Of the Past--The following
incidents were related by Hon. Geo. Robert
son, OF Kentucky, in an Grafton delivered
at Camp Madison, ia that State, on the las,
anniversary ofour National Independence:
In the "Blue Lick Defeat" on the Goth
Of August, 1882, the cormorant Of death
fed greedily on the flower ofthe first settle
ment. On that most dreadful of DAYS,
every settler lost friend, and every family
prop.
The night after the battle twelve prison
ers were stripped and ranged in line upon
a log; he to whom We have specially ailu-
ded, being at one extremity OF the devoted
phalanx. The cruel captors, then begin
ming at the other end, slaughtered eleven,
one by one; but when they came to the
only survivor, though they raised him up
also, and drew their bloody knives to strike
under each uplilted arm, they paused, and
after long powow, spared his lIfe-why
he never knew.
Fer about one year none Of his friends,
except his devoted wife, doubted his death
She, hoping sgains, reason, still insisted
that he lived and would return to her. Woo.
ed by another, she from time to time pcSpe-
ned the nup,ials, declaring that shecould no
divest herself of the belief that her husband
survived. Her expos;ula,ing friends finally
succeeded in tsaeir efforts to s,ihe her affec.
tomato instinct; she reluctantly yielded
and the nup,ial day was fixed. But just be-
fore it dawned, the crack Of rifle was
heard near her lonely cabin ana at tho IA
miliar sound she leaped out like liberated
fawn, circulating as she sprang, "That's
Johns gum" 1t was Johns gun, sure
enough; and in an instant she was once
more in her lost husbands arms. But nine
years afterwards that same husband fell in
St. Clair's defeat; and the same disappoint.
ed but perseverng lover renewed his suit
aod at last the widow became his wife,
| The scene of these romantic incidents was
within gun shot Of my natal homestead, ant
with ,hnt noble wife and matron | " as my.
self well acquainted.

FIRST ARRIVAL.

The steamboat Missouri arrived in our
port Oh Wednesday night last, from Buffalo
She left passengers and freight. She touch
ed again from Chicago to Buffalo, on Satur.
day. Other boats are hourly expected.
The spring business is fairly opening
Several vessels have already unloaded
freights of lumber on our piers, and guam
tity of wheat has already been shipped to
the lower lakes.
With two excellent and convenient piers
Southport will be prepared this summer for
a heavy business in the commercial line.
Doubtless the business, from indications al
ready given, will exceed that of any former
year.

Yet Cassius desires his election, at the same
time declaring that he shall not, immedi-
ately after his election, consider him fit to
rule over christian people. He says too,
that holding slaves, violates the only true
principles upon which either christianity, or
repubicanism can stand the test of philo-
sophical scrutiny for single moment-and
yet with these views he supports for the
Presidency 4 man who holds IS slaves.--
Really we never came across such mass of
glazing absurdities, and when the editor of
the Tribune recommended it specially TO
the anti-slavery men of the north, he must
have entertained a most wonderful opinion
of their judgment.
We look upon this letter as the merest
kind of an elec,oneerng scheme. Cassius
NJ. Clay; expects from the position he has
acquired as an anti-slavery man, that he can
influence the abolition vote of the north. and
for this purpose is this letter writea. We
fear his reasoning in the premises, will con-
vince very few.

The hog in this case, is ourself; the tulips
are Mr.. Brown, OF the Courier, who, it would
seem we had rooted from the garden of de-
mocracy; and Mr.. Noonan, we suppose, is
the keeper of these tulips, whose leg we
have rent. All this is very beautiful and
will doubtless confer Immortality on its au-
thor, "the tulip"
Did this facetious gentleman ever hear of
the fable of the monkey and the chestnuts.
1t is somewhat older and almost as good as
his. A monkey was engaged in roasting
chestndis; he was puzzled however as TO a
means of rescuing his cherished fruit from
the embers, but finally solved the difficulty
by seizing an unlucky cat and thrusting her
paws into the fire drew forth the chestnuts
aad munched them iii triumph. In this case
as will readily be perceived, Mr.. Noonan is
the monkey, the chestnnts the perqusites of
the Milwaukee post Office. and the unlucky
cat, Mr.. Brown, who Mr.. Noehan uses most
unce, enormously to draw his ches1nuts from
the fire.

contrary TINT Mr.. Clay will take especial

The Texan Special Minister has arrived
at Washington. All kinds of rumors and
surmses are aloat with regard TO annexa-
ton. Nothing definite however is known.
Mr.. Calhoun. has arrived and taken charge
of the State Department. The better opin-
ion appears to be now, that a treaty will not
be at once consummated; or if it is, that the
Senate will not ratify it. The tone OF feel
ing seenas to be against it. We caanot think
that the Senate of the United States would
dare to take SO important step without a
full understanding of the views of the peo-
pie. Certainly no important interest would
be jeoparded by waiting, and TO pass it when
the public feeling is entirely unknown, would
show disregard of the people, involving a
responsibility which majority of the Sen
ate, in our opinion, would not dare to as
sumo. We do not find in all the rumors
and gossip, any substantial grounds for be-
lieyikg, that it is intended at once 10 perfect
treaty for the annexation of Texas So
far as any facts are concerned, such con-
summation is as probably year off as a
week. Something will doubtless be done.
We are satisfied it is an earnest wish of Pre-

AN INvENrroN.-The Baltimore Sun
says that Mr.. James Leggett of Ladies'
burg; Frederick CO., Nd, has just compile
ted the Working model of machine which
is considered by many TO be the greatest
discovery Of the age. II is the application
OF the power of the screw 10 wheel machi-
merry, where the gain of power is SO great
that, with a screw weighing from one TO
one and half tons, man would be able
to propel train Of cars ON railroad with
as much force and velocity as is now At
tanned by the locomotive. IT occupies but
small space, and can be applied TO a ny
kind of wheel machinery. By reason OF
the infrmitics of age, together with Pc
cuniary embarrassments he has been, thus
far, unable TO have an effective machine
constructed, and his wish now is to call
public attention to the subject, in the hope
hat some enterprising person may be in
duced tc Embark in the matter.
