A DANGEROUS CoLoR-Oue Of the
proposed measures of national defence
in England. in the present apprehension
Of an invosiun from France, is to change
the uniform of the troops from red to
neutral color. in order to avoid offering
so distinguished a mark to the French
sharp shooters as they now present. 1t
is singular fact. that the Danes were
compelled to change their unifurm from
red to bite, in consequence of execution
done upon them from the cause by the
Prussian bullets in the late Schleswig
Holstein war. There is nothing like a
red coat for matksman's eve.

SELF WINDING Crock After years
of mathematical labor and mechanical re. T..
suits. Prof Willis, Of Rochester has
completed and has now in constant ope.
ration self winding clock, which dc
termines the seconds, minutes. hours,
days. weeks, months, and years of the
time with unfailing accuracy. continu.
ing in constant motion. by itself. never
requiring to be wound up, never run
ing down. but moving perpetnally so
long as its compOnents exists. Ii might
easily be called perpetual motion, and
it is 80 in one sense, but the inventor
very properly makes no such clam, The
scientific will at once understand this up
on inspection. The Rochester Demo.
crat says that the clock stands about six
feet high. with large highly finished
dial. Its mechanism is all exposed to
the closest scrutiny. and the movement
of lis simple escapement aud its direc,
motion is as plain to the eye as the truth
and force of its well applied principles
are to the mind. A scientific compan,
will soon report upon its principles and
con8tructiOn.

has been on lEai several days before the

by tie name ofJomes Cormick had been

important puius was direct and positive.
Ga The 2lstin,t, Mr. Cormick came into
court and stated that ne had committed
wiffull perjury. and asked The foreivness

that, after giving the testimony, he be-
came troubled in conscience, aud could
nbisin M peace of mind until he had
set the mater right.

Times, is some what of al admission from
that source:

they furnish an impresnoble bulwark
against hostile attack.

some difference 'ofopinion seems to
have arisen between the Editors of the
Southern Press upon the subject Of the;
Presidential Election. The junioredi-
tor desires to cometo the support of
the Democratic nominees. The senior
editor is opposed to such a course and
gives as his reason, his pnwillingness;
to support the Comp measures,
upon which, as q platform. the Demo
cratic party stand. The Press belongs
principally to- ELLToop FisnRR aud he.
is therefore entitled to control its
course, but We must confess we cannot
see any grave reason why he cannot
support PIERCE ind KlNG-the entire
South has now submitted to the Com
promise, t'IsHER's paper claimed to be
Southern in its politics, itwas started
to support the views aud institutions Of
the South, and itsprcsent course seems
to us to be founded ia: tpo, delicate a.
sense of propriety, If therewere other.
candidates. for the Presidency whose
views upon the measures were more
agreeable to him, ne certainly ought to
give his support to such men; but he

neutral as he intends to do. What is
to be gained by such a course he may
understand butwe do not. We think
his patrons would much rather go into
the canvass and lend a helping hand to
tho Democratic nomination. Mr. DE,
LEON has written letter setting forth
his views at large, and we think, he has
acted with great propriety in taking
the course he proposes to himself, but
we are sorry there should be any diffe-
ronce between those who have acted so
long in. concert. We. believe that
South Carolina is as ultra upon the
subject ofthe Compromise as ELL
WOOD FISHER can claim to be, and VIC
would not be surprised to see her cast
her vote for PIERCE and EtNa, butafter
all he certainly yshas the right to choose
his own course, his patrons having the
right 70 approve ordisapp prove.
