THE VELOCITY OF ELECTRICAL WAVES.
The Philadelphia Ledger mentions some
ingenious experiments performed at the
Cincinnati Observatory, in connection with
the magnetic telegraph, 10 ascertain if there
be any sensible time occupied in the trans
mission of the wave or current OF electricl-
ty between two points where relative long,
tudes are required. If there be a sensible
velocity, il must involve a correction for the
difference of longitudes, as determined by
star signals passed along the waves or
through the ground by electrical currents
between the two observatories. Thus far.
Professor Mitchell says all results tend to
the conclusion that there is no principal
wave time. Other methods may lead 10
different conclusion. Experiments per-
formed some months since by Mr.. Walker,
led that gentleman to believe he had detect
ed and measured a wave time. The sub
ject is interesting, and now becomes i'm
portant as all element in the determination
of longitudes by the magnetic telegraph.

FROM THE COPPER REGIoN,-Wc

FROM THE COPPER REGIoN,-We learn
from gentleman from the Sault Ste Ma
ry, that serious difficulties are likely TO &C.
cur between the Indians and the Quebec
Mining Co. 1t appears that the provincial
authorities have from time 10 time premis-
ed to pay for the lands ofthis company to
the Indians claiming, and that these promis.
ed payments had been as often delayed.
The Indians collected to the number Of
abou. two hundred, joined with some thir-
ty whites, had stolen three cannon, and
were, when our informant left, on the way
to the works Of this company to drive off
the operatives.
They are said TO be well supplied with
amunition and arms and the most serious
consequences are TO be anticipated. Mes
sengers had been sent 10 apprise the miners
of danger and give them an opportunity to
prepare for resistance. The greatest ex-
element prevails at the Sault.-Det. Free
Press.

Observation-Disclosures that some of the
leading Southern members of Congress will We
hemendy oppose the admission of California into
the Union with Constitution excluding Slavery,
ticken at Washington. There can be little
doubt, however, that Messrs. Benton and Hous-
ton viii oppose the extreme doctrines of the
South on this subject, and they will be a match
for Calhoun and his followers, to say nothing of
several other members of Congress vino will be
likely, and the strong phalanX Of Northern men,
bers of Congress who will be sure, to oppose
them. The SoLth,-always so ready here o.
fore to bully the WORTHWHILE, we trust, be
taught lesson respecting its true strength at
the approaching session of Congress. We shold
rather say, few hot-heads OF the South, for the
mass of the Southern people do not sympathize
with Calhoun and his adherents.
This truth was strikingly evinced recently on
the liberation of J. NJ. Barrett from the tender
merces of the South Carolina SpartanS. The
people, he said, who came in from the surround
ing country, exhibited a warm sympathy for him,
and had no fellowship with the few brawling
demagogues,-the tools of the large slavehold-
crs,-who had made so much stir in the matter.
So general, indeed was this feeling that it SEEM
ed probable that he would have owed lis liberia
ton from imprisonment to popular favor, had not
the court seen fit to award II 10 him.-Chlc4go

RIGHTEOUSNESS AND INCoNvENIENCE-It is
PERFECTLY RIGHT to abolish slavery, but proper
ty, industry, and everything is so involved in it
at the south, that it would be very great incon-
Uenience to do it,
1t is PERFECTLY RIGHT to abolish drunkarl
making and dram shops, but there is so large a
portion of the people, and industry engaged in il
that it would BE- extremely ilc0nuenieut to abol-
ish then.
1t would be PERFECTLY JUST AND RIGHT "a
compel people TO pay taxes according to their
means or ability, but then there are SO many
strong men, and so much capital, and industry,
interested, in forcing others to pay in proportion
to their backs and bellies by means Of tariffs up
on the consumption that it would be very cola-
,ealem 10 resort to the Just rule.
1t Is PERFECTLY RIGHT that every man should
nave home for himself and family he is emit
ed to it by the gift of God, as he is to LIGHT and
ar, but then men have licensed land monopoly
so long, their habits are so adapted to it, and the
earth has become so piled up in the possession
of few families, that it is extremely inconren-
ien to restore to every man lis natural rights,
and his home on the earth.
And so it is with the whole circle of govern
mental wrongs. tits vastly inconuenient for the
wrong doors, who are in power, and who infiict
them, because they are in power, to dispense
with them. The convenience of the sufferer, is
out of the question, is not regarded at all, and
that for the reason that he does not see his rights
or is otherwise too weak and powerless to protect
them. Thus it is, that portion of mankind,
stand upon the persons of others, because it is
inconvenient to change their position. The help
less one is not in condition to show his op-
pressor, how much better it would be for both, in

uel crimes, as the reason why they should con-
tinue in crim,. 1t is inconvenient to give them
up, and therefore right and justice are put under
foyt, uutl they rebel, in the might of God, and
in turn, pull the oppressor down, and may be stab
him to the heart and leave him to perish in his
own gore Wrong and not right keeps the
world moving. CONFUSION follows convulsion
and revolution follows revolution life goes out
