it have on the future of nations? Who can know?
We pretend not to say but we do recognize it as
one Of the most remarkable features of the last half
century. We make no estimate of the moral and
spiritual results of this diffusion Of sacred light.
But we think that its influence is felt where it is
never suspected. Its principles are working out
by men who do not acknowledge its authority.
Such is one of the singular anomalies Of the hu-
man mind but perhaps not unlike OF the
operations we see in the natural woald around US.
The grass sees not the gentle dews that fall upon
it nor do the fruits acknowledge the ripening en-
ergies of the descending sunbeam. Yet the grass
grows and the fruits ripen +; and we may hope that
thus too the human mind will grow and ripen, un-
der the influences of the sacred volume.

ARKANSAS CoAL.-The Fort Smith Herald has
account of this valuable discovery " The coal,
found on James Fork of Poteau, and brought to
this pace, by Mr.. VIM, McMurtrey, is pro-
nounced by persons who competent Judges, to
be superior to any bituminous coal in the United
States, and is equal in every respect to the anthra-
cite for fires, having, however, the advantage over
that coal In that it easier ignited and burns
tirely to ashes. 1t is used at Capt. Rogers hotel,
where it is by travellers from all paris of the
world, and it fails to excite the wonder Of all
who feel its heat and witness the beautiful fire it
makes. 1t is also used in many Of the shops and
stores of the town, and although it is sold at twenty
cents per bushel, it is considered cheaper than
wood, and far superior for fires. 1t is unequaled
for furnaces, and when fully ignited looks more
like bed of charcoal, than that of stone coal"

ANIMAL MAGNETIsM.-Sir David Brewster, of
Edinburgh, has expressed his conviction of the
truth of Electro Biology, or that part of Animal
Magnetism which subjects the imagination of the
patient TO the will of The operator. He describes
some remarkable experiments made before several
scientific gentlemen, and concludes with the fol-
lowing statement:
They were all as well convinced as was, that
the phenomena witnessed were real phenomena,
and as well established as any other facts in ply
sical science. The process by which the operator
produces them-the mode by which that process
acts upon the minds OF the patient-and the refer
ence of the phenomena to some general law in the
constitution of man-may long remain unknown
but it is not difficult to in the recent discover
| les of M. Dubois Raymond and MOtteuca, and in
| the laws which regulate the relative eiensity Of
the external and in erna impressions on the nerves
of sensation, some not very indistnct indications
of that remarkable process by which minds of pc
culiar sensiblity are temporarily placid under the
dominion of physical influences, developed ant
| directed by some living agent. -,
With this testimony of so distinguished phllos
| opher as Sir David Brewster, to an order OF TACT
| peculiarly liable TO abuse, we may see the impro
priety of their being tAmpered with by quacks an
chariatans for the purposes of gain, or the grallt
cation Of an idle curiosity.

FROM BILLY BowLEas.-A letter from South
Florida, (says the Tallahassee Sen,inel) speaks of
a late interview between Captain Casey, the U. S.
Indian Agent and Mr.. Wilum Bolags,' as he
signs himself. Capt. Casey set forth to Bowlegs
the recent action OF the Florida Legislature for the
removal of the Indians, and told him that was
his last chance for peaceable arrangement. That
the United States authorities were his friends, and
would not only see him comfortably removed and
provided for afterwards, but would pay him well for
going. But if he delayed, the Governor OF Florida
and his rihemen and long knives would be down
upon him and drive the whole tribe into the ocean.
Upon this, Billy scratched his head, and thought
fully inquired if the United States Government
was really his friend and wished him wells Capt.
Casey replied that there could be no manner oI
doubt about it.
Well, then, says Billy, if You are my friends
just you stand still, and me whip the Governor o
Florida and his long knives, d-n quick !" and in
short, give Casey to understand that he did moi
value the sovereignty of Florida so much as the
shaking OF squirrels tall" This is truly morti-
flying. Billy evidently had not read the report o
the majority of the committee on Federal Relations

BOSTON, Feb Is, 1851.
Deputy Marshal Riley and assistants. arrested
at Corn Hill Coffee House, to-day, one Frederick
Wilkins, negro waiter, on warrant issued by
the U, S. Commissioner, G. T. Curtis, on a COM
plant that said Wilkins is fugitive slave. He
taken with no opposition, and carried Immediately
to the U. S. Courtroom
The news of the arrest spread rapidly, and the
Courtroom was speedily filled by large crowd Of
rather excited spectators. The examination, how
ever, went off quietly. Seth J. Thomas appeared
for the claimant, and Messrs. Small, Elias Grey,
Coring, and others, for the defence.
From the documents offered by the claimant, it
appeared that the accused was the property OF
John Debree Purser in the U. s. Navy, of Virgil
mia, and that he escaped in May, 1850. The depo-
si,ion was to the effect that the claimant had
the prisoner in Boston and conversed with him,
when the prisoner acknowledged that he had
escaped from Norfolk. The counsel for the defence
asked for postponement in order to prepare test-
mony. This was granted, and Tuesday next, at
ten AN, was assigned for the examination.
The Deputy Marshal then ordered the room to
be cleared of spectators, which gradually done.
The prisoner remained in the custody of dozen
men, as, by law Of the State, the Jail cannot be
used to imprson fugitive slaves.
His counsel wishing to consult with him, they
| were readily admitted to the room to the number
| of half DOZEN They remained about hour,
| and in the meantime large crowd Of negroes
gathered upon the outside, blocking up the entrance
| TO the courtroom anu dS tue uOoE was opeHeu 10
| let the last lawyer leave the room, the mob from
without suddenly rushed in, seized, and knocked
down the officers in keeping, and filled the court
room The prisoner himself was frightened at
their demoniac appearance, and fed, with cry Of
| murder, to the farther end of the room.
He was, however, secured by the mob, who had
speedily senced the opposition of the few officers
in the room, and taken in triumph down the stairs,
and into the street. The officers did not attempt
to follow and with shouts of triumph the mob hur-
red off with the fugitive, and were last seen in the
vicinity of Belknap street, where negroes chiefly
| congregate.
While the mob was in the court room, the sword
of the Marshal, hanging in the sheath over his
desk, was drawn by one Of them and fourished
over the heads OF the officers. 1t was afterwards
found in the street. The mob showed no weapons,
though number Of the negroes boasted of having
revolvers in their possession. One negro, in his
flight, dropped his knife.
There were several white persons in the mob
but they did not appear to act in the rescue. The
rescue of course, caused great excitement through
out the city, as one of the most daring outrages
upon law and order ever enacted. 1t is thought
impossible to re-arrest the fugitive, as his friends
have no doubt hurried him off ere this, to the Cana
dian frontier. U. S. Marshal Devent is absent a

The Bible.

In an article on the subject of the Movement
of the Bible in the last half century," the Cincn-
natl Gazette takes occasion TO remark:
The modern movement Of the Bible dates back
but comparatively little WHILE The translation
of the Bible from Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, be-
gnn to multiply after the art of printing began
The one necessarily caused the other. But the
number of copies in the vulgar tongue We're few,
till the Bible Societies began their career
The translation of the Bible by King James,
has,ened its Introduction among the people; but in
the year l777, when the subject of printing the
Bible was before Congress-it was estimated that
there was only four millions of printed Bibles in
the world At that time, there was not less than
four hundred millions of adult persons in the world,
and of these one hundred millions were protesting
Christians! There was therefore. in existence, one
Bible to each hundred adult persons! Now let us
take look at the Bible movement since.
The old Continental Congress ordered 10000
Bibles to be imported from Holland Scotland, and
elsewhere, In l7sl, Congress approved the edition
Of the Bible published ', oy Mr., Aiken, of phadel-
therefore, that the great progress in the diffusion Of
the Bible has been made, and most of ii stnce the
year 1900. Let us now look at the statistics OF
that diffusion:

1t is supposed that other societies not enumerated
will make the whole number of Bibles issued by
the Bible Societies at least forty millions OF copies
This has all taken place since 1915; but it mus
also be taken into view, that in the time vas
numbers of copies have been issued by booksellini
establishments. There must, therefore, be at leas

FALLING OF A RAILROAD BRIDGE.-The Vicks-
burg Sentinel of the 22d says: On Thursday
afternoon, about 4 o'clock, the stone pier in Big
Black, forming the central support OF the bridge
over that stream, yielded to the pressure OF the
food and fell. The watchman, who is always on
duty at the bridge, reported change in the posi-
ton Of the pier, and Mr.. Crump, the Superintendent
of the Road, who accompanied the evening train
out directed the train to be stopped before reaching
the bridge, while he went forward to examine it.
Finding the pier unsafe he ordered the train back
to Vicksburg, and soon after the pier fell. All the
passengers retured safely to Vcksburg about six
o'clock. We have not learned the extent of the
damage, but presume it will infict heavy less on
the company, while merchants here suffer from
the interruption OF the transportation at this busy
season.
We were passenger on the train, and on in
quirng learned that the pier built in 1886, or
cofIerdams sunk piles over twenty feet into the
bed Of the stream. 1t was built of cut lime stone
as high as the highest water mark, and above tha
with hard burnt brick and never exhibited the leas
sign OF wear till the morning of the day it fell Tn,
frame work of the bridge has not fallen, but il
without support for over 200 feet, having swayet
