On the outside of our paper will be found an
article from the Washington correspondent of
the \. Y. Tribune, speaking of Mr. Durkee in
connection with his speech on the California
question. We perceive in the Chicago West
ern Citizen also a very tlattering notice from its
correspondent, both Of Mr. Durkee and his effort
on that occasion. This correspondent saws,
among other things, that he (Alr Durkee) told
the Southerners the other night they should not
fear agitation, because i; was the hope of the
7rorid This IS fact, which those men who are
holding up their hands, trembling like towards
at the agitation now going on throughout the
country, would DO well to learn Agitation is
the hope of the world. There is much to be
done before the mass of mankind are relieved
from oppression. We have much to do to relieve
our own country from acknowledged evils; and
how is it to be done except by agitation? De-
mocracy is progress, and progress is the result
of agitation: and no who fears TO discuss, and
prays for calm and quiet when evil and wrong
exist 10 be removed, is not a true man. nor is he
living trueli Noman ought to hold a posi-
ton that he fears TO have discussed; and if he
does so fear, it is simply evidence that his posi-
ton is false one, and will not stand the test of
argument. A man who is confident of what
he holds, never fears agitation; and it is those
only who fear agitation will agtate their teeth
loose from the plumber they hold, that deprecate

THE DOINGs OF CONGREss

Amount to nothing as yet The minority in
the interest of slavery have as yet been able to
stave off all action in regard to the admission Of
California; and cheap postage, land reform, har-
Dor appropriations, and all the important and ne
cessary business which Congress has to perform
are to be kept at bay until the omnibus bill is
dragged through and the result of these inter
ests so important to the whole union are made to
depend on the passage of bill which shall ere
ate four more slave states in Texas and open the
flood gates of slavery to deluge the Free Terri

BY the last news from this honey pot for pi-

ticed into the expedition by an inducement that
he was to Join company for California. Among
the invaders shot at Cardenas, another paper
says, was one Capt. Dupeau, well known in
New Orleans, native Virginian; whether of
the F. f. VS.. is not stated. He served under
Scott in several maraudng expeditions in Mex

1t is positively announced in the papers at
Washington, that Gen. Lopez was arrested at
New Orleans by the order of Gen. Taylor. Poor
Lopez, if he had been successful, he would have
been hero, and candidate for the next Pres
ldency; now there are none SO poor } to do him
reverence; now he is a candidate for the halter
But don't get up any petition; he won't be
harmed. He will be at liberty before you can
send to Washington.
There was report last week that one of our
sloops of war had been captured by a Spanish
trigate. Doubtless there will soon be a pretext
Of some sort or other for declaration o. war
upon Spain. CuIa is in their possession now,
and the slaveocracy of the South want it, to help
distract and divide the North, as we'll as strength
en- the bands of slavery in the South. When
Cuba is obtained, the price of slaves in the States
will rise fifty per cent. When men discover
the sources where wealth can be obtained with
out labor, they will not sickle about means, or
be at a loss for inducements to gain them.
There were also reports about the imprison-
ing of the American Consul at Havana and
though this was believed at Washington, and
was the cause of secret meeting Of the Cabi-
net, and loud talks of declaration of war with
Spain yet it turned out to be ahoax. 1t was
probably fecler thrown out by the knowing
ones; and as it took well, it will not be long. in
Southern human probability" before there will
be real preteXt, and real scream of the Amer

Spanish minister had demanded the arrest and
surrender of Gen. Lopez to the Spanish authori-
tics, on the charges of treason and murder. c.

ssNeyv Mode OF Making Bread.o


There is a receipt under the above head cut
from the Chicago Tribune going the rounds,
ascrbing the discovery 'of neec process Of mali
ing bread" to DR.. Lewis of Chicago. BY re-
fcrrng to "Pereiras treatise on food and Diet, >
page 1872 or to the = Repository Of Patent IN
ventons,' vol. 7, p. 2G7, for 1887, "you will
find that in 1886, DR. Whiting (of London) took
out patent for rendering farinacious foods Gel
luIar, light &c. without fermentation"
The proportions of the ingredients used by
DR.. Whiting, and the manner Of making, &c
are essentially the same as proposed by DR..
Lewis. Dr. Within IS receipt is
Wheaton Flour, 7 lbs.
Carbonate of Soda, $50 to 500 grs.
Water, % pts.
Muriatic acid, 42O to $50 drops.
/" Mr. Dobson, of London, purchased the patent
of DR. Whiting, and prepares the bread accord
ing to the above process"
The bread is extensively used in England,
! and is there known as the patent ugfermented
bread. DR. Lewis discovery therefore reaches
no further than DISCOVERING DIR Writings form
ua in "Pereira's (excellcnt) Treatise on Deticsl

cry one. The chapter on bread alone is we'll

D A correspondent of the New York Tribune
thinks that the virtue of keeping promises or CO.
ming any where near the truth, is no part of the
code of steamboat captains on these western
lakes, in dealing with their passengers, and cites
his own experience on the ST. Louis, in example.
We would suggest that this is not true as gen.
eral rule. We have boats with and without re-
putation, and whilst the former draw their bust
ness in consequence of their character, the latter
make theirs by deceiving the unwary. 1t is Of
the uncertainty of their arrival and departure
at different points that this writer complains
Take the EMPIRE STATE, for instance, and a
this distance from Buffalo, we can calculate, wea
Their permitting her arrival within an hour or two
to a certainty, every trip. Next time this wrte
! wants to travel, let him take the Empire State,
boat that has reputation, and he will find sht
will fulfil all her promises.

LYNCH LAW IN VIRGINIA.-In Culpeper county, on
wednesday last, lawess mob assembled at the Court
House, and though resisted by the Sheriff at the Jail door,
entered the Jail and took thereom by foce William Gray
son, free negro charged with the murder of David W.
Miller, and hung him by the neck until he was dead The
Superior Court of Cupepe had twice convicted Grayson
and the General Court had twice granted him new trial
In the last opinion the General Court said "Upon the
whole case of opinion that the testimony not only
not sufficient prove the guilt of the accused but that
IS hardly sufficient to raise suspicion against him.
The judgment must therefore be reversed and new trial
awarded This nfuriated mob, consisting as we regret
to learn, in part OF justices Of the peace and of members
christian churches have thus by violence reversed the dec
sion OF the highest criminal tribunal in the State and been
guilty Of FOUL cowardy, and endsh MURDER and that too
OF helpless free negro with defend him nor avenge
his wrongs Grayson, learn, avowed his innocence on
the galows One minute given him in which he was
told ne was to confess his guilt this he refused to do and
told them to execute him at once, which they did,
This first attempt at Lynch law in this Commonwealth
should be rebuked with rmness and punished with severity
Unless speedily checked in its course it must overthrow ali
government and render life liberty, and property without
protection 1t rests with the legally constituted authorities
Of Virginia to wipe off this foul blot from her character
We trust in Gods name they will not fail to do it.
