The GERMAN REVOLUTION LoAN.-A large
meeting of the citizens of Cincinnati was held
on Saturday evening, the 9Th inst, to consider
the proposed German revolutionary loan. Judge
WARDEN presided, and Judge MATTHEWS acted
as one of the e-presidents Eloquent ad-
dresses were delivered by Prof KrNKEL, the Ger
man patriot, Judge WARDEN, and Mr.. CORY,
after which a series of resolutions were adopted,
of which We copy the following:
ReSolped, That this confederation of republics
cannot longer allow Russian alliance TO enslave
the Independent States of Europe. That il is
the right, interest, and duty Of the federal gov
eminent, as the agent Of the people Of the sew
era States for foreign affairs TO protest and act
against this armed aggression Of strangers, be.
cause such aggression overthrows the law Of
nations, and because il is an aggression of kings
upon the people, and finally, because it is blow
at the United States.
Resolcsd, That by the daily receipt Of thous-
and souls, and the annual receipt of hundred
millions Of dollars from European emigration,
the people and government of the United States
are drawn nearer 10 Europe, and are bound to
vindicate in behalf Of their kinsmen who yet
remain behind, the Ia y of nations against usurp-
ers and oppressors, at all hazards.
Rssolred, That we consider the cause Of lib.
erty the same in each Of the States Of Europe,
and that our sympathy and aid shall henceforih
be impartially extended to them all ill tyranny
bites the dust.
Resolred, That we believe the German loan,
Of which Professor Kinkel is the agent, will be
secure in the hands to which IL il confided, and
that it will be efficiently applied TO promote the
cause Of the people in Europe.

IMPROVEMENT IN SPY GLAssEs.-The London
papers, in speaking Of works Of art in the great
Exhibition, mention newly invented very small
powerful waistcoat pocket glass, the size of a
walnut, by which person can be seen and known
one and half miles distant; they answer every
purpose on the race-course, at the opera houses,
country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at
twelve and fourteen miles; they are invaluable
for hunting, shooting, deer stalking, yachting,
TO sportsmen, gentlemen, game.keepers,. and
tourists.

TIE ENIBANkNiENT

We observe by the proceedings of the
Legislature, on Friday the l4th inst, that
Mr.. Penniman from the Committee on In
land Navigation, made report in favor of
the repair Of the eastern bank of the Sus-
quehanna, in front of Sunbury. We are
glad that there is at last some move made
in this matter, which is simply an act OF
sheer Justice that should have been awarded
long since. Had these damages been sus-
tanned by an individual, redress would have
been given without delay. This Borough
has already incurred heavy debt 10 guard
against the injuries caused by the erection
of the Shamokin Dam, and unless the river
bank is rIp-rapped, all the labor and ex-
pense will be lost.

STEERING BETWEEN rw. ExraEMEs.

STEERING BETWEEN TWe EXTHEMES.
Every season and every place has its
novelties and amusemens, and some of
them are sometimes strange senough. On
Thursday morning last we observed crowd
Of young men or the pavement near one
Of our Hotels in this place, laughing at
one of their party, who with slow and
cautious step was attempting to wend his
way across the street with a wheelbarrow.
The object was TO reach a certain point on
the opposite side, about 100 yards distant,
bindiolded. Some, who were certain they
could reach the goal, in a straight line,
found on raising the bandage, that they
came near describing a perfect circle
Two of the party who were lame, invaria-
bly, dverged from the straight line, one to
the right and the other TO the left, each
describing a circle inclined TO the short leg.
A proposition was made that each should
take handle of the barrow. They did SO,
and tugged away in opposite directions to
the no small amusement of the by-standers,
and the result was that they came out
within few feet of the goal.
The moral OF this is (for even idle amuse-
ments sometimes serve to point moral
that it is always the best and safest plan
to steer between extremes.

CONGRESS AND IT'S COURSE OF FRO
CEEDlNG.

The present session of this body is fast
drawing to close. Although there are
number Of important bills that should be
speedily acted on, but little has yet been
done. The hour for the meeting of the
Senate is II O'Clock, NJ, but they seldom
get into operation until half past twelve,
and usually adjourn about 4 O'Clock P. Nj.
TO dine. The House meets about the same
time though frequently the session is pro-
longed several hours. Although the 18th of
March is near at hand, when this Congress,
under the provisions OF the Constitution
expires, yet members will get up and waste
half the day in quibing and useless discus
sion. Such was the case few days since
in discussing question of order, on the in
PRODUCTION OF bill by MIR. Benton, which
had been rejected, and which was not
only wholly out of order, but which he
knew would be rejected again, as it was,
by a large vote. The appropriation bill
has not yet made any progress. The River
and Harbor bill is now before the House
and will pass. The Postage bill is yet in
the hands of the Senate, unfinished, al
though Monday of last week was fixed
upon for its consideration. The Patent
Office bill will most probably be passed
over until next session.
An amendment to the tariff of 1916, in
creasing the duty on Coal and Iron, &c.,
will most probably be tackled to some
bill, and may probably pass, as number Of
Southern members are hvorably inclined
towards the measure, although, we regret
to say, some of our dough-iaced Pennsyl-
vania politicians are disposed to give II the
cold shoulder.

The following is the correct version
FUGITIVE SLAVES.

1t will be seen by an account in another
column that the negroes in Boston, under
the encouragement of the abolltonists, have
set the laws at defiance, by entering into
the court room and taking fugitive slave
by force from the officers Of Justice. If
these abolitonistS had a little Lynch law
applied to them, it might probably teach
them some respect for the laws under which
they live, and perhaps owe their existence.
