THE INAUGURAL ADDREss.-This address i, characterised by that good for which MT. Poll has been invariably distinguished during his potl cal career, while in style Il is marked by the ut most propriety of expression. There is also visible in this production that strong perception of equalit, of constitutional right between different sections O the country andIclasses of the community winch hal been no less quality of the Presidents mind thar guiding principle of his political conduct.
 On the subject of State rlght he covers grount broad enough 10 satisfy the most strenuous of the supporters, while the advocate of Southern interests can source of disquieiude, but every reasona be motive for confidence in the sound constitutions doctrines of the Address. It of course impossible for President of the United States to indicate witt perfect precision, any approach to it, the course of his administration He must be governed by the contingencies of politics. He must shape his poll cy according to circumstaces and conjunctures. The new President will no doubt, receive that share o general support to which he will be found entitled when his measures tested by that standard which should be applied to all statesmen guided by honest, of purpose and patriotic inenllon- Charleston Pat riot.

The New-O Ttopic, proverbially one of the most ultra of the whig presses. has the following liberal notice of the Inaugural of President POLK. It compares uost advantageousy with that of It's brother whig press in this city.
 "Of the inaugural address of the President, which we publish in columns day, Il is unnecessary for tn speak, each of numerous readers i'll examine il and judge for himself. We may be a. lowed to say, however, that from very cursory glance, we lhInk ftvorably of il 1t is sufficiently brief, Is plain, sensible and in good taste. While do not agree with him of course, in all his views, we have no hesitation in saying that if Mir Polk ad- ministers the government in accordance with the plain principles aId down m the Constitution, as he de- clares he will he will entite himself to the adnra tlon and regard of good men of all parties
 While strict regard for the Constitution is man iiested and the President is actuated by honest and patriotic motives, the country can never be in any great danger The worst wish we have for Mir. Polk
 Is, that he may leave the Presidency with increased prosperity for he country and rich harvest of merit- ed renown for himself.

The Globe raps MT Tyler about ihe knuckles foI taking upon himself to act in this matter. just the eve of his retirement, and thus defining the manner of exercising the discretionary power, intended to be given to Mir. Polk. The Madisonian jusifes Mr Tyler not only for acting under the Resolutions, but fur the manner in which he has acted.
 We think the Globe right in it's general position and that Mr. Tyler, by whatever motives he was im- pelled ought have left this matter open for hIs snccessor--and ihe especially. too, If he had recnllected how easy il for Mir. Polk counter mand hs instructions to MT. Donaldson. MT, F. will have he control of the movement, he ought to have had, and generally expected he would have had. We have no deub, to the mode of aciion, that Mir. F. will take time deliberately to consider what is the besi for him to pursue, under the alternative resolutions. Richmond Enquirer.

GREAT NATURAL CURIosITY.-A late number of the Dayton (Ohio) Transcript mentions discov. cry of most singular and extraordinary character which is to be seen in Delawart County, in Ohio, about seventeen miles north of Columbus. the seat oi government. he Transcript remarks that although 1t is of the vel and curlus things in natu rai history yet il has been made public or been known 10 the scientific world. IL has heretofore en- tirely escaped the n'tice of scientific from the fact of its being obscure place, and no account Di IL having ever been gwen in the public prnts The Transcript says:
 "SometIme about he year 1878. two men by the names of Davis and Richards sait boIers y profes sion, commenced boring for salt in the bed of the Scioto river near the place mentioned. After having bored about fifty feet through solid rock they came upon stream of white sulphur water ol the strongest kind The auger with which they were boring suddenly sunk something like two feet. which IS probably the depth of the stieam-but such the pressure of line water that the aIger was forced up again, and large weights had he attach ed 10 il in order to keep il lis place and enable them to bore further. They continued 10 bore nu however until they got about four hundred feet be- lw the sulphur stream, when they struck upon sa h water. The size of the auger about tw0-and a- half inches in diameter. W hen they took il out, the at of sulphur water rose up to the heIght of twenty feet above the surface of the river.
 In orr CT 10 obta access the salt water beneath they procured strong copper pipe and attempted io force it down to the place where it 10 be found.
 
 such was it's fnrce and pressure, thai the pipe was co nplft'y fl tt ned, 70 eni ely Is prevent the usage fwaterthrough il. A. ubse luenl atemp;s 10 nset pipe proved abortive, and after prosecut- jag the work at intervals for several years, the pro- ject was entirely abandoned. Af;er enlarging the orifce made by the auger al the top, wooden stock 20 feet m height was inserted-yet even al the top of this, such the force of the slream that it re- qnired the strength of two three men tu put plug ia 1t From lhIs stock pipe conveys the water to a spring house on of the bluff banks of the river The stream has been running for iwenty-six years, yet its strength and fprce are unabated Those who have recently examined il, say that it IS capable of throwing up a stream ten inches in diameter from eighty 10 ninety feet high-and that water can be thus obtained to turn a Urge mill
 The whole matter lay in obscurity until short time since, when our fellow-cifizen, Mr. N. Hart, accidentally heard of the circumstance and bought the land upon which it k situated. IL was from hm that we learned the foregoing facts. The stream furnishes as good white sulphur as IS now known. IL is strongly pregnatsd with gas and possesses val nable medical properties. The place in which il is situated is in a fine healthy region, and the country round about is beautiful and rolling and admirably adapted to fishing and hunting
