THE WEATHER.

How hot it is! How awfully, burningly,
scaldingly hot When one man meets ano-
Their, his first exclamation is, "H0w hot if is, y
TO which original and refreshing piece of news
the other instantly replies, with deep groan,
Don't mention it
The heavens above are as heated brass, the
air like furnace, the pavements like hot
iron. Even the lean, lsnk men, with not flesh
enough on their skins to prevent q free circu'
the streets, like unhappy spectres OH the
banks Of the river Styx. The fat men are
huge monuments of melting woe. Their good
natured faces, for nothing can overcome fat
man g good nature, are respondent with big,
briny drops. One fears that these estimable
people will gradually disappear in perspira
ton, and be lost to their families and society
Ii this weather continues much longer we
have good authority for believing tsee DR..
Moore's oration) that the Union itself will be
in danger of dissolution
We have heard great deal about Yankee
enterprise and energy, but it is all humbug.
A truly wide awake and go ahead people,
would have sent out a small fleet of steamers
to the Atlantic, harpooned half dozen ice
hergs and lowed them to the coast, where
they might have been moored at the mouths
of all the great rivers. What refreshing at
mosphere this would have created! This
ought to have been done long ago. We trust
1t will be done next summer, if the world
should not be burned up before that time
We would also suggest to enterprising CAPT
talsts the construction of railroad to the
North Pole. What an enormous amount of
travel such road would command

DIR. MoORES GRAFTON.

We can conceive of no more difficult ora
torical achievement than 4th OF July ora
ton which shall interest an intelligent audi
ence. The subject has been worn so thread
bare by the annual orations of ten thousand
speakers from the establishment Of American
independence down to the present hour, that
the public do not often anticipate new
thought or new illustration. But with the
thermometer at 80, the man is an orator of the
first order who can get any other man to listen
TO him in patience for five minutes. When
we say, therefore, that the Rev. DR.. Moore
delivered an original 18th of July Grafton on
tuesday last, and one which made everybody
forget the heat of the weather, we pay the
highest possible compliment to the eloquence
of that most gifted and accomplished gentle
man.
We confess that, often as we had heard DR.
Moore, we were entirely unprepared for such
stream of refreshing thought, novel illustra'
ton, splendid eloquence, and particularly
such rich vein of delightful humor as that
which characterized his late address From
first to last, it was performance of most de
cided success, both in matter and manner, as
the repeated and rapturous applause of the
great multitude present fully testified. Ifany
Of his friends, knowing that he had never be
fore delivered 4th of July Grafton, felt any
anxiety as to his success upon this occasion
they must have dismissed their misgiving'
with the first sentence which he uttered. Al
grafton so original and appropriate so abound
ing with bright flashes of wit and spirit stir
ring strains Of eloguence we have not heart
for many long year. We wish that some
of the Northern fanatics,-the Parkers, Phil
lips, Wrights, &C., could have heard it
Not that it would have converted them int
patriots or good men, for they are alike i'm
pervious to all appeals to reason and virtue
but that they might have enjoyed the opera
ton of having their epidermis taken off by
master hand
In every respect, this Grafton will elevate
the high reputation of Dr. Moore as one of tn.
first orators of this country. 1t will be fount
in eur paper ty day.

THE EASTERN WAR

This is the most extraordinary war of which
history gives any account. In all the con-
tests that have ever before occurred be-
tween nations individuals or wild beasts, the
great object of the combatants has inyaria
bly, been to do each other as much mischief
as possible. Iu the Eastern war, the objects
seem to be to accomplish the least possible
amount of harm. Except capturing a few
merchant vessels and bombarding the com.
mercial ports of Odessa the magnificent al
lied squadrons have been as innoxious as so
many unarmed pilot boats. Admiral Dundas
drives his slow coaches of seventy tours at
gentle pace over the Black Sea, letting the
Russian cruisers dash by him without a cbal
ienge, and Admiral Napier's big line of bat
tie ships frown majestically upon the Russian
Notifications, while the Russian Notifications
frown as grandly in return. There seems IN
be no such thing as coming to blows. The
war is a theatrical representation of war as
far as England and France are concerned.
and If any one gets killed, it is by the sheer
Est accident.
The only war now raging, is that between
the Russians and Turks The allies seem 70
solved that the Turks shall have all the honor
OF maintaining themselves, single handed
against the multitudinous hordes of Russia
And II the accounts given by the French and
English newspapers are correct, the Turks
neeo no aid whatever. According to these
accounts the Russians are always defeated
by the Turks, aud have not gained a single
victory slnce the war began Moreover, the
Turks have charmed life. for while the
bulletin of every battle reports thousands NJ
Russians slaughtered, We rarely hear of a
single Turk being killed. The Russian hul.
lets fell upon them in showers, but they might
as well be aimed at an army of spectres'
This is great war undoubtedly. though it
will not do 70 believe all We hear.

case of the Z. s. Marshal VS.. the Sheriff of Phils.
dsiphis. 1t appears that two of the Deputy Mar
shais are la the custody of the Sheriff Of Philade
phia, under a warrant of outlswry from the Court
al Quarter Sessions, of Luzerne county, based on
al Indictment Iound Ia ere by Grand Jury, which
charges them with riot assault and battery and an
sttemp. to kill fugitive slave while endeavoringto
srres, him, This attempt arrest the fugitive oc.
Cured in September last, and will be remembered
by our readers The hearing before Judge KANE
was upon habeas corpus, taken out to prevent the
Rrldtors from being taken to Wilkesbarre County
Seat OF Luzerne) for trial.
The Judge decided that the Marshals were re-
sponsible to the Court which issued the Federal
process under which they acted, and could not be
tried by the Court of Luzerne. He stated that
while they were not responsible to the tribunal in
Luzerne for the manner in which they discharged
their duties they were responsible to the IT, s.
Court, under whose mandate they acted and he
should proceed to try the case on Its merits and
would hear sach evidence as might be produced to
show that in the execution of their office, they had
or had not used more force than was necessary
In the course of his opinion, he referred to the
failure of several indictments issued by the Court
OF Luzerne against the Marshals and the pertina.
city with which new processes were gotten out,
8ad he remarked that it was not surprising that
they were reluctant to be tried by jury of that
county, and their reluctance to abide the decision
OF such tribunal, in wise indicated that they
ware conscious of guilt
