Electricity,

The earth is the great reservoir of ell.
ectricity, from which the atmosphere and
clouds receive their portion of this fluid.
II is during the process of evaporation
that it is principally excited, and silently
conveyed TO the regions above; and also
during the condensation of this same va.
por the grand and terrific phenomena Of
thunder and lightning are made manifest
to our senses.
In order to form correct estimate of
the immense power Of this agent in the
production of electricity, we must bring
to our view the quantity of water evapor.
rated from the surface of the earth, and
also the amount of electriey that may be
developed from a single grain Of the liquid
According to the calculations of Cavallo,
about five thousand two hundred and
eighty millions tons of water are propa.
bly, evaporated form the Mediterranean
sea, in single summers day. To OBJ
tain some idea of the vast volume Of water
thus daily taken up by the thirsty heavens
let US compare it with something rendered
more apparent than this invisible process.
President Dwight and Professor Darby,
have both estimated the quantity of water
precipitated over the falls of Niagara, at
more than eleven million tons per hour.
Yet all the water passing over the cat
aract in twenty days, would amount only
to that ascending from the Meditierranean
in one day. More recent estimates make
the mean evaporation from the whole
earth as equal to column Of thirty Live
inches from every inch of its surface in a
year, which gives ninety -four thousand
foul hundred and fifty cubic miles, as the
quantity annually circulating through the
atmosphere Thus we see the Inaguifi.
cent scale on which the great machine
works.
DR.. Faraday has shown that a single
drop of water cantains as much electric.
ity as an ordinary fash of lightning
enough, at least, to destroy the life of an
elephant. Thus the little de " drop, from
which the poet has derived such sweet
images, may suggest to US ideas ola more
sublime nature.

FREE SOIL.

We doubt ifthere is a man, born and
bred in the Northern States, and still re-
siding here, who is not averse to extend.
ing the limits of slavery;--nay, who does
not desire, in every proper way,to restrict
those limits, until the institution itself
shall be abolished. Such at least are our
own views, and they are as old as our
earliest recollections' We cannot re-
member the time when the horrors of
slavery were first installed into our minds;
and although, as we have grown older,we
have learned that in some respects our
early notions Of the system were exag.
gerated and false, yet on the whole, its
evil, both to master and slave, stand be.
fore our vision about as distinctly as ever.
Again we are free to admit, that great
evils require great efforts to effect rem,
edy, i. e., when remedy is practicable.
| If slavery existed in the State of New
York, we should say that her citizens ought
to make great sacrifices, if necessary, for
Its removal. For the same reasons We
should say that they ought to deprecats
its introduction into any territory where i.
does not already exist. The fact that
all the slaves so introduced, must come
from other parts of the United States, df.
minishing the number in the communities
from which they come, as much as they
add to the communities whittier they go,
is not satisfactory answer. Neither is
the fact, that if in the process of time the.
aggregate number of slaves is increased
in consequence of such migration, it will
be because the slaves are in the enjoy.
ment of greater comforts by reasons OF the
change. Nor the fact that certain dis.
tricts of country are better adapted to the
labor of colored men than Of whites. Nor
the fact that kind of servitude already
exists in a territory, in many respects
worse than negro slavery. 1t would take
many such facts--more indeed than could
be easily accommodating bring us to
consent to the introduction OF slavery into
any new Territory. ~
And yet there are considerations that
might induce US, as q choice of evils, to
vote TO admit slavery into portion of our
new territory; and with our present views
| we would neither go to Congress pledged
to vote against such extension, nor lend
our support to any candidate for Congress
who was SO pledged? How can any man
know what circumstances may arise In
Congress bearing upon the case? And
what right has he to pledge himself ia
advance that he will not regard these cir.
cum stances? 1t may be a question be-
tween the extension Of slavery and dis.
solution of the Union. If go, who To-

ofthe Administration that the Governor
shall reach Oregon this winter, and the
orders contemplate this rapid movement.
But it is utterly impossible that the trip
can be performed by SO large body of
men at this late season of the year. The
command may possibly reach Fort Lara

of winter sets in; but even this is ques.

6TThe following anecdoie of John
Van Buren, is to good to be lost: -
Noah's Times relates the following
instance ofthis gentleman's "easy assuf.
ance.''
He was riding in the carriage with dad
after dinner, in the neighborhood of Lin:
denvald, during which the young hope.
full kept putting away at his Havana. Al
length the indulgence of the Democratic
Chesterfield being overwhelmed by the
clouds of smoke, exclaimed
"John. your cigar is really very offens.
i've inside here"
Sis it," said the dutiful son. "Then
why the ID don't you get out, and
ride with the driver" -
The old gentlemen (says Noah) now
finds the smoke his promising son is rails.
ing in all directions, so offensive that he
is obliged to come out of his retirement
and ride with the driver.

The Letters.

If ever there was candidate for the
Presidency, who attemptedto be- ''sll sorts
of things to all sorts Of men"-to "hold
with the hare and run with the hounds, %
it is General Taylor. He has written
letters of acceptance to the Native Amer.
lean. Wing, Democratic, No Party, "Gen.
tile, Greek and JEWISH" nominations,
but it was supposed, since his acceptance
of the regular Whig nomination. that he
would be contentto pull peacefully in the
whig harness, and be true to the feally
which he had thus assumed. But in this
there is great mistake. The old gen.
eral is not willing to abide by the con.
vention, but is still found denying any
party identity with the wings; turns his
back discourteously upon them, and avows
in substance his determination not to
carry out their doctrines if elected. We
wish our opponents joy upon the selec
ton they have made? Like Sinbad, the
Sailor, they have got an old man astraddle
of their neck and shoulders, who not on
iy will not 60 the course they wish Il
pursue, but kicks them most Justify fol
their pains. Here is letter which he
has written. dated eleven days after hi
letter to Gov. Morehead, in which thu
old soldier drives 'the rowells up to TIT
spurs into the sides of his wing support

the prospect before you, if'your candidate
is elected! Which is he now, fish, flesh
or fowl?--M Mobile Register.

years, four quarto volumes were written

among the remains of CenteraI America.

known, and we cannot even imagine
it could be done. Pliny tells of drink
glass which could be folded up so as TO
occupy small space, and which was
destroyed and kept secret by its inven!
tor, because his monarch would not offer
him what he considered a sufficient sum
for his invention. The moderns, with all
their arts, cannot equal the beautiful
stained glass of the middle ages, inferior
as was this to that of Egypt. Portland
