precise powers of word, he cannot endure to be
turned over to abridgment that gives him a
synonym, instead of definition; but he demands

TO THE PUBLIC,

The tracts embraced in the above proclamation
Of the President comprise all the residue of the
lead mines yet to be brought into market south
of the Wisconsin river. They cover those mines
particularly the portion situated in Ilinos) work
ed under former leases from the Government which
had not expired at the date of the sale of the ada
cent mines, and therefore possess the advantage of
being prepared for immediate operations, without
incurring the increased expenses incidental to
opening new mines, and most of them are believed
to be very productive. They are all more or less
conveniently situated in reference to the navigable
rivers and other cheap means of transportation Of
their products to st. Louis, and in the midst Of
a country yielding abundantly all the agricultural
products Of the latitude in which they are located

EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIMENT.

A Man WALKING HEAD Downward ON THE
CEILING! Mr.. John Mccormick gave private
exhibition on Thursday evening at Lafayette hall,
of quite a number of philosophical experiments
some the invention of others, but many ginal
as they were extraordinary. Among them were
hydraulic seve for the illustration of atmospheric
pressure; fountain for showing the reaction of
ter; intermtting spring for the illustration of
the ebbing and flowing of springs; an equlbrating
Jet for sustaining an Illuminated tripod hydraul-
ic machine for trying the strength of the lungs {;
and a compound gravitating air compressor, pro-
ducing uniform current of air sustaining illu-
minated tripod and lifting 200 lbs. one inch in FIVE
seconds by the force of the lungs. But the most
extraordinary experiment was that of walking (by
means of shoes of peculiar construction,) in an
inverted position, upon the under service of high
ly polished slab of Italian MARBLE nine feet by three
in dimensions, which Mr.. NJ. successfully performed
"a feat never before achieved by any man! He
afterwards explained that slight defect in the APP
paratuS, easily remedied, rendered his task more
arduous than usual After the exhibition, the large
audience present organized by choosing VIM. NJ.
Shinn, ESQ., Chairman, andJ. H. Foster, Secretary
when, latter some remarks by Gen. Larimer,) on
motion of 81. D. King, Messrs. E. II. Hastings,
Jos. Snowden and w. B. Negley were appointed a
committee for the purpose and reported the follow
ing resolutions:
WHEREAS, We have witnessed with the great
est interest the experiment of Mr. John Mccormick,
the result of many years research and labor, invo
wing principles of philosophical interest therefore,
Resolred, That lin the opinion of the meeting,)
the thanks of this community are due to Mr.. Nc
Cormick, not only for his original experiments, but
for the improvements upon the discoveries of 9TH
ers, which we have witnessed this evening.
Resolred, That Mr.. Mccormick has SATISFACTORY
ly performed all he has promised, and fully dem
onstrated that his invention for walking upon the
under surface of polished marble slab, in an in
verted position, is 40 humLay!
RESOLVED, That the thanks of this meeting be
rendered to Capt. Hendrickson, for the pecuniary
and other assistance he has rendered the Lecture.
Resoloed, That Mr.. Mccormick be requested to
deliver a public course of lectures in Pittsburg, and
that this meeting pledge themselves to assist him
in the prosecution of his scientific researches.
After some remarks from Gen. Larimer, Rev. III.
J. Clarke, Rev. c. Cook, and Others the resolutions
were unanimously adopted, and Messrs. Josiah
Copley, Jos. Snowdcn and J. III. Foster APP

Degraded their position is in the United States,
the means of subsistence here are so great that il
their physical wants are generally well supplied
they are apparently contented and happy, and many
of them are unwilling to leave the country of their

be made to induce these people to 60 to the West
India colonies, it would be proper, think, that
suitable agents should be sent to the United States
to explain to the free blacks the advantages and
privileges they would enjoy by removing to the
West indies and to offer to them the means of their
Transportation. l am quite sure that no opposition
would be encountered from the General Govern

by any of the States. The General Government
would probably remain passive, neither aiding or

THE New ARMY UNIFORM. A general order
has recently been issued from the War DEPART
ment giving description of the new uniform for
the army of the United States, which has been
approved by the Secretary of War. 1t is to be
strictly enforced, and generals and cher inspecting
officers required to notice all deviations from
it. Commissioned officers may wear the old until
the first of January next. The articles of the uni
form, already manufactured for enlisted men. are
to be issued until exhausted, but will be first al
tered, as far practicable, to correspond with the
new pattern. In no instance will the two different
patterns be furnished to troops stationed at the
post.
The description of the uniform and dress is given
with the utmost exactness. The details are too
numerous for our present purpose and therefore
we merely state in order to convey general idea
of several of the chagnes that all officers are to wear
fockcoat of dark blue cloth, the skirt to extend
from two-thirds to three-fourths of the distance
from the top of the hip to the bend of the knee,
snge-breasted for captains and ieutenants double
breasted for all other grades.
The uniform coat of all enlisted men is to be a
single-breasted frock of dark blue cloth. The col
lar and cuffs of the artillery are required to be
scarlet; infantry, light or Saxony blue; rifemen,
medium or emerald green and Dragons orange
colored.
The caps for all officers and enlisted men are to
be of dark blue CLOTH according to pattern, and so
ornamented and varied in trimmings, as to denote
rank and the several branches of service. Feathers
give place to pompons These appear to be the
most prominent changes.
