VoLUErEEHs.--On Saturday the German volun-
teer companies eft in the Allegheny for Jefferson
barracks. The number Of men in these companies
amounted TO 209, which will be increased 10 $50
when those who staid behind 10 close up their bust
ness will join them.
The ST.. LOUIS LEsIos--It was announced in
general orders at Camp Lucas, yesterday evening,
that the regiment would strike It's tents, and march
TO the boat appointed for their conveyance TO New
Orleans, this morning at 9o'coek. This intimation
wss received with a hearty and enthusiastic re-
Spouse from the volunteers, who have exhibited a
very great desire to be on their route. They take
passage on the Convoy, boat Of the largest dimen
sions, and one in which every possible comfort will
be secured.
The regiment consists Of nearly TOO men. Some
Of the companies are made up Of picked men, and
all OF them are young, hardy, and fine looking fe-
lows. They form as good maisris for regiment as
can be found anywhere; and our ctzens, who have
taken great interest in their success may well be
satisfied that they will do discredit TO the city or
State, no matter in what emergency they may be
placed. Many Of them are well-known citizens,
and leave behind them friends and kindred and ali
those ties which bind them to society. We may
well be pardoned for feeling some anxiety for their
good conduct in battle, should they chance TO be so
engaged, and their safe return to their home and
friendn.

Glaring Inconsistency.

While the columns of the Washington Union
for two or three weeks past, have groaned un'
der the ponderosity of the efforts of its venera'
BILE editor to c meet the Wings of the North
with the abolitionists, and to show that his own
party is the only one which can safely be trus'
ted on the subject Of slavery, we find him re.
joicing over the reelection Of the Hon. David
Wilco,t TO Congress from Pennsylvania. And
vet this is the man who introduced the amend
ment, to the S2,000,000 Mexican Bill at the last
session of Congress, by which the existence OF
slavery should BIO forever prevented in Calilor-
MIA, whenever it was acquired from Mexico
and who was warmly supported in his district
for this manifestation of his opposition to slave
ny and his anti-souhern feelings.
According to the standard established by
the Washington Union a northern loco may
sport with abolition or anti-slavery as harm
less plaything, but northern wing cannot
touch either without being defled, and render
ed unworthy OF trust or confidence.
Such inconsistency is well calculated to de-
stroy all belief in the sincerity of the official
organst, and affords an excellent answer TO
the voluminous articles on the subiect.-.Nash

The Boston journal, speaking of the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Clifford to the office Of At
torney General, says he sis lawyer of moder-
ate abilities, but an inscriptions politician,
vino will sickle at nothing to promote the inter-
est of his party. This is seen by his course in
the Congress of the United States"
The time pGs when an Attorney General OF
the United States was expected to be lawyer Of
established reputation, acquired in active prac-
tice, land in the supreme tribunals of the county.
But nOw it is an objection to a man, with the
powers that be, that he possesses the quaiifca-
ton heretofore deemed essential. Now if he be
an uua'crupulow partisan, his,legal knowledge is
not to be taken into the account. On this
ground, Mr.. Clifford was well chosen, as all
will say who remember any thing of his course
whilst member Of Congress.-BaH. Pat.

MORE HELP TO FREE TRApE.--The further
advance of flour in England will, no doubt,
be used by the Locofocos to show how the
new American tariff works. The effect here
has been to advance the price rs cents per
barrel, but we would state that another adj
vance OF IS cents is yet to be made before
1t gets up to the price in December, l845,
(S7,) under the tariff 1912 When the price
gets over 81, then the Locofocos can talk of
the rise with more decency than they can
now, when the tariff of 1912 price is larger
than the price under the law of l846--.Mw

a Diplomatic Extraordinary.
The New York True Sun says:

The New ork True sun says:
Mr.. Joseph Edge, of Jersey City. has invent
ed a new species of bomb-shell which he calls
the 'diplomatist,' which is intended to answer a
variety of purposes. 1t formed of an internal
shell or magazine of iron, filled with powder.
which explodes in the same manner as an ordi-
nary bomb-shell To this is connected by
the former, but perforated with holes. These
holes are in part filled with pistol barrels,
charged with ball and powder, and all the re-
naming space between the shell s, is filled with
an infamable and unextinguishabe compound;
when discharged from the gun or mortar, the
nfamable compound is kinded, continuing its
burning through air or water till it strikes.
From this moment it sets fire to all substances
OF a combustibe nature, near which it may be.
To prevent any interference with the shell,
the pistol barrels discharge their contents at
intervals, regulated by the lines attached TO
them respectfully, until at last their ma sazine
oil internal shell, is blown asunder by the ex-
plosion of the powder contained, scattering the
fragments OF both shells, the iron arms and the
pistol barrels mingled with the unextinguisha-
bic fire in all directions The discharge of the
pistols may be regulated so as to occur quickly
or slowly. and the magazines ma likewise be
exploded at any moment, SO as it may act us a
fire ball, succeeded by bomb-shel discharge,
or as shell scattering, in addition to iron frag
ments, xtnguishable fire.
