The first striking Clock.-Tn the time of AL
fred the Great, the Persians imported into Eu-
rope machine which presented the first rudi-
ments of a striking clock. 1t was brought out
as present to Chalmagne from Abdallah, by
two Monks of Jerusalem, III the year 800
Among other presents, says Eginbar, was a
herolage of brass, wonderfully constructed by
some mechanical artist, in which the course
of twelve hours up elepsydrdm uertebature,
with as many little brazon balls, which at the
close of each hour, dropped down on set of
bells underneath, and sounded the end of the
hour. There were also twelve figures of
horsemen, who, when the twelve hours were
completed, turned out of twelve windows,
which till then stood open, and returning a.
gain, shut the windows after them 1t is TO
be remembered that Eginhart was an eye wit
ness of what is here described, and that he
was an abbot, skilful architect, and very
learned in the sciences.-[ Scientific american.

TENNEssEE.-OUR CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
ALI uncertainty as to the result is at an end,
and it is now conceded that our talented and
faithful sentinel upon the watchtower, the
Hon. +. P. Stanton, is reelected. The race
has been close one-more tight, by far, than
we expected, although We were prepared to see
falling off from the democratic vote through
out the State. But the democracy of the dis
trlct have secured much in being able to re-
tain MIR. Stanton in Congress. It maintains
him in the foreground, as the rallying cry fol
the next election

tie Nth the Indians--Erght americans
Killed, four grounded.
To the very attentive St. Louis correspon-
dent of the Louisville courier we are indebted
for the following important letter from the
west:
CAMP OF ARKANSAS RIVER, July %, 1847.
have no news worth transmitting to you
but what will be painful to your readers. We
left Council Grove when wrote you last, on
the 5th inst, and arrived here, twenty miles
below the crossings, on last night The bat
talon has not moved together since we left
Fort Leavenworth. Captains Shepherd and
Woechen were seperate, while Captains Cum
ningham, Paul, and Barnes, were in one body,
under the command of It. Colonel Easton.
On the evening of. the Goth instant, while
some of our men had crossed the Arkansas
river Con the banks of which we were encam-
ped) for the purpose of procuring fre-wood
the Indians bounced upon them, and before a.
ny assistance could be rendered, eight of them
were killed and four wounded. The alarm
was soon in camp that the Indians had attack
ed our men on the opposite shore; and in a
few moments Captain Barnes company, which
was encamped at a point nearest the river,
FASTENED to their relief but before they could
get in musket range, the Indians had made
good their retreat on their horses Captain
McNalr's company of cavalry--which has
been with us since we left Council Grove
were soon in their saddles, and in pursuit, but
they did not succeed in overtaking them.
The party of Indians which made the attack
was about so in number Scouting parties, in
all numbering, it is supposed, between three
and four hundred, were seen on the surroun-
ding heights. They were well mounted, and
were, it is supposed, Cumanches Fifty of
our men were across the river at the time the
attack was made, were in small parties, and
entirely unarmed Nearly all of the killed
and wounded were most horribly lanced and
scalped. One of them was literally covered
with lance and arrow wounds. The names of
the killed and wounded are as follows: Com
pany D.. killed-Captain Paul P. Porter and
Charles Frass: wounded of Capt
Barnes-Wm. Duncan, Lodwick, James and
H. Barlow killed--volunteer regiment-J!.
Johnson, and -, wounded We will re-
main four or five days, TO repair wagons and
10 rig up f1ayden tram OF wagons, which are
now lying at the ford-the cattle for which
were nearly all stolen by the Indians, preven-
ting them from going over.
The report that the fort had been surprised
by the Indians proves to be erroneous. The
Indians attacked and killed three men, but did
not burn the fort
The man who built and has charge of it says
he will abandon it unless some thirty men of
our battalion are ordered to remain with him
of which think there is no probability.

From the West Chester pa } Republican
A NATIONAL CONVENTION.

A NATIONAL CONVENTION.
The democracy of the several counties of
this State, and of the other States, north,
south, east, and west, speak out, through the
press and at publ meetings, with great unan-
unity in favor of a national convention for
nominating candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency. This augurs well for the
union, integrity, and future success of the par
ty, and for the continued ascendency of DEM
ocratic measures IN the national administration
From no quarter DO we find opposition to
this necessary, proper, and established mode of
maintaining the organization the party, except
from a very few in this State, who are anx-
ious to lead off in favor of General Taylor
Some of these appear to be tired of democrat
&c organization not, we presume, because of
their long service in the party, nor of their
love for its measures. We are pleased to
know, however, that the democrats who at an
early day avowed themselves in favor of Gen.
Taylor for the Presidency, & desire TO support
him as the democratic candidate, are in favor of
national convention. They see, as all honest
democrats must see, that, even if the party
should be entirely unanimous for the hero of
Buena Vista, a convention is necessary to pre-
sent him fairly before the country, and with
HIM vice presidential candidate of the right
stamp. Inc experience OF late years teaches
the importance of a proper selection for the
Vice Presidency as well as the Presidency, and
democrats who have proper regard for the
principles of the party will not overlook it
Vice President Tyler saved the country from a
monster bank-Vice President Dallas gave to
the country the just and equitable tariff of '46
as substitute for the partial and unjust tariff
oil '42-and the Vice President to be elected in
1913 may do much to promote the interests of
the people, and preserve the ascendency of
democratic measures, if he be right in his char
acter as man, and right in his views of ma
tional policy.
To abandon a convention, would, in all pro-
liability in a majority of cases, take the cleo
ton from the people, and devolve it upon Con-
gress, where intrigue, bargin, and corruption
would be the order of the day, and the great
measures of public policy essential to our ma
tional prosperity would be sacrificed to the
personal ambition of leading politicians.
