GEO. THOMPSON.

If Geo Thompson be really the dangerous per-
son that is claimed by his enemies, he can be so
only from the sentiments he entertans and utters
Under such circumstances, person would sup
pose that the most cectual mode on the part of his
enemies of convicting and putting him down would
be to publish his sentiments as he proclaims them
Yet strange as it my appear, those who are loud
est In condemning him and in justifying the mob
spirit which has been brought to bear against HIM
absolutely neglect and refuse to publish single
sentiment he utters. Need another word be said
to show how utterly false and wicked is the position
and conduct of these men, That our readers NAV
be able to truly judge of the man. publish to-day
brief speech of his, delivered at the city of Wor
cester, Mass. We think, after reading it, they
will agree with us, that nothing but the spirit of
the devil, who is the father of all tyranny, would
seek to gag such man.

THE FIREMEN's FESTIVAL.

So complete is the report of the proceedings
OF the kiremens festival, of Friday last, that we
find but little left to be said 1t was fine affair,
well conceived, well got up, and carried through
first rate. The best of feeling prevailed all
round, and whilst it could not have failed to knit
closer the bonds of good fellowship between the
individuals composing the different fire compa-
MES, it must also have favorably impressed those
who came from abroad towards our city gener-
ally.
Those of our citizens who witnessed the dis
play oftEe companies and their skill and energy
in the management of their machines, will, we
think, be inspired with confidence of safety from
the devouring element, that will enable them to
sleep o nights. AS the Chief Engineer remar-
ked, with present facilities of water and engines
manned as were the latter in all ordinary cases
in this city fire would be completely under the
control of the firemen. More anon.

REVOLUTIONS.

The Revolution by which the independence of
this country was achieved, was. beyond question,
productive of results of the highest Importance and
quite as beneficial as they were important. But
revolutions are sometimes accomplished by other
instrumentalities than the sword revolutions quite
as important in their results as any brought about
by the force of arms. The discovery of the art of
printing. OF the magnetic needle, of the power and
application of steam, of the spinning jenny, and
many other things we might mention, have all pro-
duced revolutions of the highest and most benefi-
cial character. And as we are not yet at the end
of discoveries neither are at the end of revou-
tons. We scarcely pick up paper without find
ing notice of some new discoveries or inventions,
ranging along the whole scale of value and mpor-
lance.
But an invention which has most forcibly ares
ted our attention, because perhaps it is connected
with the profession is that of a new printing
press. This press prints 10000 copies an hour of
any newspaper or other work, and at the same time
folds it ready for delivery. The type are fixed on
cylinder and all the movements of the press are
cylindrical The paper it uses is made in one con-
tinuous piece of length as extended as the mills
choose to manufacture it, and it moves through
this printing press receiving the impressions of the
types and is cut to its appropriate size and folded
with the extraordinary despatch wehave mentioned.
AS great are the revolutions which have occurred
from time time in this art this in its results will
fully equal the most important of all of them.
But there is revolution which these discove-
RES and inventions have not yet occasioned, but
which nevertheless inevitably belong to their mis-
sion, and that is to benefit, elevate and bless the
masses of humanity. Thus far, their effect has

Murder and Highway Robbery 1.-Two
of the Robbers Killed.
We are informed that Mr.. Jesse Funk. an ex-
tensive cattle dealer of Funk's Grove Mclean
county, was murdered and robbed on the 9th inst,
few miles from his residence. The circum-
stances as related to us are as follows Mr. Funk
and his son left home with considerable amount
of money intending 10 purchase cattle for the
Chicago market, and on Tuesday last was over
taken and attacked by three men. He shot one
of his assailants dead, and wounded another; the
third man, however, fired and killed him. The
son of Mr.. Funk, who had been detained on the
road, arrived at the scene of the affray a short
time after the death of his father, andsobtained
from the wounded robber confession of the
crime and description of the villain who had es-
capped. Young Funk then shot the robber and
started in pursuit OF his confederate. We have
not learned what amount of money was obtained
from Mr.. Funk.
