The CAROLINA ADDREss.-We know not when
we have read more deliberate, gross, or inexcusa-
bic insult, than is offered to the people Of the
South, in the address of the Carolina Convention,
in another column. A stranger would suppose
that there is spirit, manhood, or common
sense out of South Carolina The studied indig-
nifty offered to Virginia, to Georgia, and in fact to
all the other Southern States, is not without its
significance. 1t shows that the object of the agi-
tators is not only to dissolve the Union, but to dis
solve it in Of blood. We are fast approaching
re.enactment Of the scenes of the French Revou-
ton. These men are bent upon civil war-a war
Of determination, and the sooner the people know
it and prepare for it the better. Georgia Journal

The WORLDS FAIR-The Imperial and Gov
ernment Printing Establishment at Vienna occu-
pies in the Crystal Palace some 1000 feet of counter.
In this space is represented the many branches OF
printing for which this concern, the largest in the
world, is so justly celebrated. Although but ten
years have elapsed since its first formation, thanks
to the gifted energies OF Counsellor Auer Europe is
indebted to it for very many discoveries in science
and important Improvements in the art of printing
Among the specimens examples in photography,
gaivanoplastc and galvanography, chronolithogra
ply, and chemtypy. The latter is new discovery
by which the long -sought-for means Of printing cop
per plates like wood cuts have been achieved. One q
the most remarkable of the many books is that il
which Auer's collection of some 400 language
appear, and this is accompanied by the actual stee
punches of the individual type, as a proof of tn
enormous resources of the establishment in Vienna

the intelligence ,hat Saturday morning, about
Pit, owned by James H. Cox, Esq, at the Clover
Hill Coal Pits, Chesterfield. There only
eight persons in the pits, one white and several col
Ored men-and they were all killed. The bodies
of all Of them have been recovered. The unfor.
tunate victims, it is thought were anxious to com
plee their work, that they might have portion
of Saturday to visit their families, and they did moi
take the necessary precautions, with the safety
lamp, against danger. Two of the negroes be-
longed to Mr. Cox. and the rest were hired by him.

HUNTING THE HYENA IN ALGIERs.-The Arabs
have most singular way of catching hyenas-one
that almost equals the wolf taking exploits of Gen.
Putnam himself We find the following account
credited the Paris Constitutional the editor of
which Obtained it in letter from a French officer
| in Agiers:
"a short time since, the commandant of the bat
talon of Turcos, or native soldiers, was informed
| that female hyena had been seen in the neigh
| borhood of Moslaganem, near Mazagran, and that
| she had taken refuge in cave about one hundred
yards in depth. Orders were Immediately given
to carefully guard the entrance to The cave. Two
Furcos, provided with simple cord and small
chain, went into the cave, without weapons and
| merely carrying candle, and, in about an hour,
| to the great astonshment of the spectators, an
enormous hyena appeared, muzzed, and allowing
| itself to be led along, with the docty of sheep
| According to the account given by the Arabs the
animal, dazzed by the light of the candle, allows
itself to be handled and caressed like young dog
and, during this time, the hunter takes care to
mnzzle it, and thus prevents the possibility of It's
doing any mischief. Two soldiers were, however
two days since, seriously wounded by one Of these
| animals, which suddenly resumed its ferocity, and
after biting through the muzzle, took to flight, afel
| knocking down its two assaan,s. 1t is impossible
| for any thing to equal the courage and temerity
| shown by the natives in these sports"
