A New TYPE-SETrING MAcHINE.-A
letter from Copenhagen, under date Of May
18th, 1854, thus describes a new, import
ant and wonderful invention. The'writer
says:
Owing to the politeness Of the editors,
l have now been able TO see the new COM
posing machine as in actual operation in
the Office Of the Fedrelandet. Instead Of
the usual cases and composing sticks, and
the compositor standing at his work, we
see person sitting before a machine with
keys like piano, which he plays on inces-
sanity and every touch on the tangent,
followed by q click, the letter is already in
its place in the long mahogany channel
prepared for it. The whole is excessively
ingenious. In fact, it is fairy work. The
most wonderful part is it distributes the al
ready used type at the same time that II
sets up the new page, and with an exact
ness perfectly sure. No mistake can ever
occur. The compositor, by this machine
does four times as much work as any. other
workman, but as he requires On assistant
TO line and page the set type, this bringsit
to twice the amount Of type set. The whole
is SO clean and pleasant, that it will prob
ably be 'favorite employment for women.
The machine occupies very small space,
not more than a small chair, and is beau
tifuly made Of hard wood, brass and steel.
Its success is beyond all doubt. The pro-
pretors Of the Fedrelandet are so gra-
tilted by the one they now have, that they
have ordered another. The price is 2,400
Danish Dollars. 1t will last apparently
for q century or two without repair. Mr..
Sorensan, the inventor, himself compos-
itor all bis life,' kindly shows the machine
to any visitor. Of course a compositor
cannot set with this machine at once It
will take a short time, few days, for him
to become familiar with the details, but be
is then gentleman compared to his old
comrades"

DUTcH WAR AGAINST THE CHINESE
CAMPAIGN IN BoRNEo.-Itis is known that the
Chinese, oSerflowing their denscly popu-
lated hive, have overrun many of the large
Islands of the Indian Archipelago, and in
many Of them constitute by far the lar
gest population. The Dutch claim many
of these islands and among them the wes-
tern portion Of the large island of Borneo.
The Chinese colonists rebelled against this
claim, expelled the Dutch authorities, en-
slaved the native inhabitants-the Dyaks
and confscated their property. The
Dutch afterwards despatched large force
OF regulars TO suppress the rebellion in
Borneo. On the I'd June, Lieut.. Col. An
derSon, commander of the troops, arrived
with the greatest part of the expedition ut
Montrada, considerable town in Borneo.
and the head quarters-of the rebels. Pos.
session was Immediately taken of the three
fortified Consgi Houses, from which on the
following day the Dutch flag was displayed
with salute of 81 guns.
The population Of Montrado were obli-
ged to beg for mercy, and submit to the
most humiliating terms. About thirty Of
the principal inhabitants of the Bazaar
met the Colonel on foot on the approach
of the troops. All the inhabitants knelt
on the roads in front of their houses and
remained in this position until all the troops
had passed.-The principal object Of the
expedition, the capture Of Montrado, was
thus effected. The loss on the side Of the
Dutch was very small-only killed, 26
wounded, besides 8 marines and 8 Of the
crew of Pontianak praow.

NORTH AND SoUTH.-The following COM
ments upon the comparative morality of
constitutional and niger notification, we
find in the Petersburgh Intelligencer:
"If we are not greatly mistaken Massa-
chusetts took very decided and indignant
stand against certain Ordinance Of South
Carolina, which, at the demand Of "the
soberest portion of the (Palmetto) COM
munity,' was passed by that State in the
days Of notification. Then Massachusetts
thought it was q most abomiuable thing to
treat law Of the land with contempt
then she thought State attempting to
nullify, or resist all act of Congress, should
be coerced into obedience by the power Of
the Government.--Bu will the friends Of
the proposed law for the better security
Of personal liberty in Massachusetts be
good enough to inform us what the differ
ence would be in operation between such
law, if passed, and the South Carolina Or
dinance Of 1882? The last was designed
to nullify Tariff act within the limits Of
South Carolina--,he first would be designed
to nullify the Fugitive Slave act within the
limits of Massachusetts. In both cases the
authority of the National Legislature
would be alike condemned, with the differ
ence however, in favor Of South Carolina,
that her Ordinance did not point to, or
contemplate a robbNy of the North of her
property, or rather Of legalizing such rob
berry, whilst it cannot be denied that such
would be the direct aim and effect Of the
Massachusetts law touching Southern pro-
perty.

The city Of Jeddo is described as being
in the form Of crescent, and stands on an
extensive plain with magnificent back
ground Of mountains and wooded scenery.
But it seems to possess no striking public
buildings, while the dwelling houses are
generally Of one story, and therefore, pre-
sent nothing imposing in their appearance,
except their vast numbers, and the space
they occupy. The population Of the eapi
tai has, however, been greatly exaggera-
ted; for though it is certainly great, the
Japanese officers themselves placed Jeddo
third among the cities in the world, Lon
don, they said, being the first, and Pari-
the second.

CALIFORNIA WAS DEDr.-We make the
following extract from an article in the
State Journal. 1t shows in a most charm
ing light the jaundiced and crooked vision
of the organ Of tho bogusites
''rhe war debt has been assumed by
Congress. BY the influence, industry and
energy of our Congressional delegation in
the lower branch Of the national legisla-
ture, over 81 ,000, 900 of our State indebt-
edness has been ordered paid by Congress.
This was incurred during the two first
years Of our existence as a state, in defend
ing our people from hostile Indians. 1t
was proper and just for Congress to pay
it, as it was because of the neglect Of the
General Government that VIC became in
volved. But notwithstanding this fact, q
strenuous opposition to such course has
heretofore existed in congress. The popu-
larity Of Latham and McDougall, howev-
CT, Overcame this obstacle, and the favora-
BILE light in which it was prepared and pre-
sented, under the directions Of the Cover
nor, could not fail to have the desired ef-
feet"

ANNEXATION OF CANADA.-There was
for long time class Of dreamers in Eng
land, who looked for the failure of our Re
publican experiment, and the return of the
colonial prodigals'into the arms Of the be-
nignant. There were also loyalistS in Amer
lea, who, like the adherents of the exiled
Stuarts, drank ''overth water" to the res
toration Of the maternal government
We thought the loyalists had died out
at least amongst us. But we find in o
late number Of the New York Tribune q
decided preference expressed for Canada,
and a deliberate proposal to swap of the
Southern members of the confedcracy for
q cordial union with that dependency Of
Great Britain.
Canada has ever been loyal. She has
resisted every proposition to join the Amer
ican Union. She has repulsed two military
expeditions for her emancipation. She has
checked with chains and blood, the spirit
of Republican liberty amongst her own
people.
Canada has an established religion, an
order Of nobility, a standing army, paid
pilNobuOOus Suuuuu IOlul uu-
tivities, and the anniversaries Of royal re-
nown. 1t has been recently proposed to
bestOw Canada upon a sucking Prince
The chief iuducement alleged for this an
nexation, consists, we believe, in the free
dom which has been assured to fugitive
slaves in Canada ever since the British ar
my kidnapped, during the revolution nearly
5000 from the coast States, which have
never been paid for to the present day. 1t
is for an association with a people tied to
the throne by usage and interest, that peo-
pie calling themselves Americans, would
barter their brotherhood with the descend
ants of those who marched through win
try wilderness to force Canada into Repub-
licanism-can fanaticism go farther? or are
these the counsels Of agents Of the British
interests, whose two-fold object is to di-
vide the Union, and establish again the su-
premacy Of the crownS

General Land Office, June II, 1854.
SIR Il have the honor to return here
with an unsigned letter left by you at this
Office to-day, in relation to the case Of q
settler in Oregon, which, as set forth by
your correspondent is as follows, viz:
Mr.. - is an old 0regonian. "He
formerly resided and made improvements
upon claim situated in Washington CO.
He notified up. He afterwards sold his
improvements and bought another claim,
abandoned the one in Washington county
and moved with his family on to, and now
resides upon the one he purchased" and
the question is asked whether Mr.. -,
having notified the Surveyor General Of
one claim, which he has abandoned, is pre-
cluded from obtaining donation of an-
other tract after having resided upon it for
four years and otherwise complied with the
requirements of the act
1t does not. He has lost all rights to
his original claim, by abandonment, but
having been a resident of the Territory on
the lst December, 1850 $50 l construC the
phrase IAN old Oregonian") he can obtain
one donation of 800 acres, if single, or $40
if married, provided he settled upon the
land prior to the lst of December 1858, as
required by the 5th section Of the act Of
the l4th February 1858, and complied with
all the prescriptions OF the acts of 9th
Sept. 1850 and l4th February 1858, and
gave the notice required by those acts, that
is, if his second settlement was on sur
veycd lands he was required to file his no
tice thereof within three months after the
settlement, and if on unsurveyed lands,
within three months after the survey, as re-
quired by the act of 1850, unless he was
settled upon unsurveycd lands on the l4th
February 1854, in which case he is re-
quired by the act Of 1858 to file his notifca-
ton prior to the LIST December 1858. Fail
ing any Of these requirements, he. Of course
forfeits oil right to the land embraced by
the second settlement
With great respect,

A BEAUTIFUL CoNcErr.-Some au-
thor, we remember not who, informs
us how we became indebted for the
red rose. They we're all of a pure and
spot]ess white when in Eden they first
spread out their leaves to the morning
sunlight of creation. Eve, as she
gazed upon the tintless gem, could
not suppress her admiratiod Of its
beauty, but stopped down and imprint.
ed warm kiss on its snowy bosom.
The rose stole the scarlet tinge from
her velvet lip, and yet wears it.
