GREAT TELEGRAFHIc lNvEErIoN.-Prof.
]. Milton Sanders, Of Cincinnati, writes to
the editor of the Evansville Journal, that
Mr. David Baldwin, of New York, who is at
present in that city, has quite perfected a
telegraph which he says will revolutionize
the system entirely. By it news can be
transmitted on one wire opposite ways at
the same time, and as rapidly as person
can talk.
OrCol. Fremont, by advertisement in
the London Chronicle, notifies his readiness
to confirm all contracts and agreements for
leases on the Mariposa Estates, in Califor-
MIA, made by Hon. David Hoffman; at the
same time repudiating the conditional sale
alleged to have been made in January last,
by his father-in-law, Col. Thomas H. Ben
ton, to Thomas Denny Sargent, Esq.
MAN DRowSED.-The Columbus States
man of Wednesday says the body Of a man
by the name of Otto Hesch, was discovered
to-day in the canal, near Buttles' g. Com
stocks warehouse. The deceased was sup
posed to have been drowned during the night.
| He was found with rope tied around his
legs, and there had evidently been stone
attached to- it.
To PRESERVE MIRRoRs.-Boil three OF
four onions with a pint Of water. Then
with gliding brush, 60 over your glass and
frames and rest assured that the flies viii
not light on the articles washed. This may
be used without apprehension and it will no
do the least injury to the frames.

5000, 900 in gold and silver, with which

plains during summer.

VINO PRosPEcTs.-After broOding over
the distractions in the Locofoco ranks, and
IN teiation thereto maintaining the proud pO-
Sltion Of silent neutrality, our neighbor of
the Eagle has suddenly awakened out of his
long sleep and thinks he sees something in
the actioh Of less than dozen inferior men,
bers Of Congress to give him hope Of be-
holding the Wing party in the same predica-
ment. He need not feel alarmed. SO far
as Kentucky, North Carolina and Tennessee
is concerned, States which generally vote
for the Wing candidate, the action Of the
men representing these States do not givC
us any cause Of alarm whatever. Thei
men of influence and standing with the par
ty are with US, with the Wing party, for thu
Wing candidate, and we can assure Oul
neighbOr that he need not feel alarmed fol
us, and can cOnfne his services towards con.
ciliating his own party; and now that he has
for once discovered that his friends are alien.
ated from one another, we hope he will lei
his readers understand for once how men o
the same faith are fighting against each 9th
er for the national spoils. Suppose, by tn
way Of variety, he copies a few paragraph
from the leading organ of the Democracy
II will add interest to his columns.

TAX ON BANKs.-The Eaton Democrat, a
strenuous LocOfoco paper has its say about
the Banks and the Tax Law:
Rumors have been ahoat in our communi-
ty, that the Eaton Bank has determined to
go into liquidation. We can inform our read
ers that Is not the case. The bank will do
business as usual, notwithstanding the ope-
rations of the New Tax Law, under the pro-
visions of which it does not intend to come.
lit is true, as is asserted, that Banks are
taxed more than individuals, we are glad that
they are determined to resist the law, for by
that proceeding, the true position ofmatters,
and the constitutionality of the law, will be
tested by the proper tribunal, the Supreme
Court. The bank at this place, has ex-
pressed a willingness to pay tares as indi-
viduals, and we do not think it just that it
should be asked to pay any more. Banks
should be compelled "to bear an equal bur-
then of taxation with other property" NO
MORE, NO LESS!

BANKS AND BANK DoINGs.-Since yester-
day we have heard that the Trust Company
also intend winding up. This may be, and
we hope is only rumor. Certain it is. how
ever, that Banks, doing only fair business,
cannot pay the State Tax, and return div
idend to their Stockholders. The consea
quence is, that the business men must de-
pend upon those who make the community pay
the Tar.-Cin. San.

in the Board, but the Senate overruled him

RESIGNATION OF SENATOR RHETT.-A de-
spatch from Columbia, South Carolina, an
nounces that the Hon. R. Barnwell Rhett
has resigned his seat in the United States
Senate. The Charleston Mercury, warm
advocate of Mr.. Rhett's peculiar views, in
noticing the resignation, says:
"Mr. Rhett has certainly filled that place
with high ability and single-hearted devo-
ton to the State; but of so little account now
appears to us the value of our representation
at Washington, that we can neither much
rejoice at any one being elected to the office
nor greatly grieve at any one leaving it. All
good men can find something to do al
home"

from London, to the New York Commercial

FREE SOIL NATIONAL CONVECTION.

Samuel Lewis Of Cincinnati, Chairman of the
National Committee to agree upon the time
and place for holding a National Convention,
having received numerous letters pressing an
early day for the meeting of said Convention,
has issued Circular, in which he says:
"The place Of holding the Convention will
be Pittsburg or Cleveland; the determination
Of the time for holding il only awaits the re.
ceipt of sundry letters from distant parts of the
Union. Immediately on the reception OF those
letters, formal Call for the Convention will
be sent forth.
Meanwhile this note is written to suggest
to the friends Of Freedom everywhere, that they
should proceed to hold their State and District
Conventions, nominate Delegates, and take all
the steps for securing full representation in
the National Convention, NJ IL the Call were
already issued ] know | shall be excused for
pressing these preparatory measures upon those
who are in favor Of that Convention, since all
such must see how important il is that no time
be lost. And take leave to suggest TO all edit
ors concurring in this measure, that they should
keep the subject directly before their readers,
every week, until the Committees regular Call
shall have been received by them, and given n
conspicuous place in their columns. And let
none of us ever forget that it is not particular
men, but great principles, that will invoke the
support of patriots.
The National Committee can, Of course,
determine nothing more than the time and
place for the Convention. All beyond that will
very properly be left 10 the determination Of
the Delegates, when they shall have assembled.
Ii is therefore important that every State, and
every District in every State, shall be fully rep
resented And i is hoped that all who desire
TO promote the liberty, interest, and happiness
of the people, with the true glory Of the Union,
will be represented Ia that Convention
