bama and said to be steady industrious young man.
An inquest was held the body yesterday morning. at the
Second Municipality Watch house. from which we lean the
following particulars:
About O'Clock on Saturday night. two omnbues drove
to the usual stand in Canal street, and the men who drove
them begun to quarrel was named Touey'' and the
ohe, Royals and words ran high between them and
last hey began to push each other After this omnibus
starter called to T0ney who on one sde and they both
returned the starter telling Royals that Toney should fight
him. RoyalSead dong, and they struck each other
the omnibus starter standing behind and urging Toney by
tapping him the baok Soon after. and when blood
spouing from Royals the Omnibus cried out
Go il, Toney, well able to whip him. and then
stepped back and directly after the deceased fell bis
lace with very heavy fall. man named Henry Carol
ton who small knife in Toney's hand ran and turned
him his back and said TO Toney, Friend You a
killed him." The then cried out Toney who had
got top of the omnibus Drive off quick, which he did
and the body then taken the Planters Hotel to zee #
anything could he done for it, The poor was beyond all
human aid and his body removed to the Watch House

Of the head, and on the left arm.
The returned verdict the effect that the deceased
died from wound inflicted upon the neck. which severed
the carotid artery and that such wound inflicted by
man named !" Toney.'
appears that Royals has been engaged sub omnibus
driver upon the line of j. b. Sawson Co., and TOnsy
was regularly employed driver of omnibus belonging
to Hart Thomas Co. 3 line, The disturbance commenced
about Royals driving Toney his road to the Canal
stand and of moment when first began. AZ

not know whether he should be able drive Sunday. as

SUBMISSION TO UNJUST LAWS.

MIR EDITOR In the last number Of the Era,
Brother J. Scott comments upon this subject at
some length. Hoping to obtain light upon the
cressiev--" Ua~ ssS ought we to submit to un-
just laws P-I perused his article with some care.
But finding that his whole answer is summed up
thus, +" Just as Isr as We can win safe con-
science" am obliged to despair Of finding the
light sought for in his communication. 1t is
true, think, that a conscience properly enlight-
ened and purified may act as thermometer, to
denote the moral character of the conduct of him
who possesses this precious jewel at the same time
my charity does not admit il true, that all pos
sess this invaluable directory.
If conscience il the criterion in all cases, it ap
pears TO me necessary to present some standard
by which the genuine article may be determined
for in these days of counterfeits spurious con-
science may obtain currency. IL tell my neigh
Dor that my conscience forbids my obedience to
an unjust law, he replies, that the requirement
being a law, his conscience compels his obedience
Hence it would seem that the conscience which
we may have if indeed it is admitted that all have
any conscience, may be 80 diversified in character
as to be wholly unsafe as grand controlling gen.
eral principle.
Ii would not be my intention to answer this
question, III thought tnyscii Cdpauie' Du' IL eho
great principle of Right, which is eternal and
Interchangeable and of which the moral law of
God is transcript, is to be the foundation of hu-
man laws, then laws which contravene plainly
the letter and the spirit Of the moral law cannot
be binding But all laws which do not plainly
conflict with this great principle, which all may
easily understand, and which is embraced in the
foundation charter of every protested Christian
nation are to be conscientiously obeyed. The
interest Of the individual should yield to that Of
the many. To secure the greatest good Of the
greatest number should be the policy of every
Government while it is the duty of every indi-
vidual to yield obedience to all the powers Of
Government, as supreme, under God, for good
The same lesson which teanhes us to be suhjsct to

struction, and instructive amusement. With
the cube, under several divisions and combins-
tons, the other regular solids, variously modl-
he'd, we're also formed by the same young pupil,
and by her Juvenile teacher.
BY these practical lessons the facts, that In an
inch cube are eight half-inch cubes that in
two-inch cube are eight inch cubes; and that
in four-inch cube are sixty-four inch cubes,
and the whole principle Of the ratio Of increase
in all solids, become as familiar both to teacher
and pupil as that lead is heavy and cork light,
or any other physical truth learned by repeated
experiments. The doctrine Of the cube, thus
familiarity, because practically and agreeably
learned, is Of very great importance, as being at
the foundation Of thousands Of daily business
operations, with that Importance greatly in
creased from the constant and gross blunders in
business arising FROM the general ignorance OF
this fundamental principle of cubic measure,
even among our most intelligent business men.
The FIVE regular solids are at the foundation OF
the beautiful, wonderful, and instructive science
of crystallography, as they are Of natural and
artificial mechanism generally, as exhibited in
the works Of God and man. One or two hundred
dollars are frequently paid for models of crystals
imported from France
Experiment. clerk Of a steamboat once
charged freight for pile Of rope for passing cars
on an inclined plane, according to his measure
ment one-fourth Of the price intended; not having
learned the difference between an eight-foot cube
and eight cubic feet, other mysteries Of the
cube also locked up from thousands to whom 1t
would be well If they were spread out in broad
daylight.
We think it due to the estinable author OF
these essays to place in our columns the annexed
testimony to their value from the Hon. Senator
Shields, of Illinois, for which purpose we solicited
a copy Of the letter :
BELLEvILLE, June IL, 1851.
DEAR Sir | have just received the first number
of your essays on Mechanism IL will give me
great pleasure to contribute 10 its circulation in
this State hope to see your essays on Geology"
| and Mechanism" in every common school in
this State for the purpose of primary instruction.
| IL would be impossible to find greater quantity
of useful information in smaller compass.
Yours, respectfully,
JAMES SHIELDS.

In mathematics, an empty cssk and stick of tim
her are both solids also, tumbler Of water and a
bar of iron, an empty room and block OF granite,
a cave and mountain, perfect vacuum and a
Of plstins. The terms air, gas, vapor liquid
and vacuum have no place in pure mathematics
they belong to chemistry. Any figure with length,
BREADTH and thickness, is a mathematical solid.
Five such figures are called "rseUlar solids"
Three Of these are enclosed in equilateral TRAN
giles Their respective numbers of sides are four,
eight and twenty; and they are hence called te-
trahedron octshedron, and icosshedron. One Of
the five is enclosed in six squares, and is hence
called hexahedron, or, more commonly, cube.
The remaining one of the FIVE is enclosed in
twelve pentagons or fve-sided surfaces, and called
a dodecahedron. or each of the "ive regular
solids" the sides, corners and edges are all
alike No matter which side, corner, or edge, is
