EFFECT OF MOONLIGHT ON FrsH.--In the
Scientific American, page 1856, the question is
.mooted whether the putrefaction of fish and
meat exposed to moonlight is more rapid than
at any other time. That moonlight affects fish
is not only traditionary belief but a positive
fact, which can easily be ascertained by those
who have doubts upon the subject. I have
known it to be so for more than forty years.
recollect an instance where a person purchased
newly caught fish at the fishing station, and
threw them founde.ing into his wagon, without
taking the precaution to cover them from the
moons rays of that night He lived distance
in the country, which required about FIVE hours
to reach, and he thought, as the journey was to
be made in the cool of the night, all would be
well, but he was greatly surprised when he ar
rived at home at daylight, to find most of his
fish SO green and putrid that they had to be
thrown away. Why was this? Such an effect
would not have been produced upon fish on a
moonless night, nor even by exposure to the
suns rays for the same period All old house
keepers are careful not to expose flesh, fish or
meat to moonlight. 1t is also generally believed
that it is dangerous to sleep exposed to the
moons rays. These precautions and tradition
airy opinions had their origin in facts, which
have observed on both land and water The
great thing in mooted questions, in natural phi
losophy. is first to discover and arrange facts;
but in accounting for them, there may be
variety of opinions, until some new fact is dis
covered which settles all the disputed points.

INFoRMATIoN.-For the benefit of those living
at distance, who may wish to visit the city Ella
the Railroad, we would state that the little
steamer Mary Jane, leaves our wharf every
morning regularly, at seven o'clock, and arrives
at the railroad station on the Lafourche, in time
to take the evening train, and arrive at New
Orleans by seven the same evening. When the
connection shall have been completed on the
main trunk, passengers will reach the city in
less than four hours after les.7ing Thibodaux.

ELEcTIoNs.-The recent elections in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, and Indiana, have resulted in the
complete route Of the Pierceites-Ohio by 50,-

large majority. The federal administration has
not elected even respectable minority of the

The Wreck OF AN IRON STEAMsHIp.-We
steamship had been fallen in with at sea, and
that it was supposed to be the Inflated City Of
Glasgow. We take the following from the New
York Commercial Advertiser of the 3Oth ult:
Capt. McLeary, of the bark Mary Morris,
from Glasgow, arrived yesterday, reports: 18th
August, in lat. So 26, lon 16 6, fell in with the
hull of large iron vessel, painted black, with
a bright red bottom, apparently Clyde built
vessel had three or four compartments; the
wood work entirely burned out; sent some men
aloft to look into her. some of whom report
seeing machinery in her. 1t was very thick at
the time, with heavy sea on. Next day fell
in with and took on board full length female
figure head, about seven feet in height, has a
wreath on her head with gilt stripes on her dress,
hands extended. 1t is the impression on board
the bark that the wreck was that of an iron
propeller, and no doubt that of the City of
Glasgow.
1t is possible, nay even probable, that the
above was all that remains of the City of Glas-
gov. 1t may be that her crew and passengers
persisted by fire, and that their charred remains
strew her hold with mementoes of their fate.
1t may be that the iron hull, uninjured still
floats up and down the ocean, until some tenn
pest shall enguf it, or some lone shore receive
aud hide it forever. The agonizing suspense
that agitates not the friends of her passengers
and crew alone but the great body of the people
Of America and Great Britain, should have in
iuced Captain McLeary to lay by the wreck
until an opportunity presented for boarding her,
Or obtaining some definite knowledge of what
vessel che was. That he did not do so is, we
think, inexcusable. Better that he had spent
weeks lowering around the wreck, so that he
mad brought to humanity some solution Of the
mysterious fate of over 800 human beings.

"Party Lines becoming Extinct" !"

This hue and cry about party lines hav-
ing become extinct" is well hit off by the
Bucyrus Forum. No marvel that old Feder-
al Whisgery should call upon the rocks and
the mountains to fall down and bury the
record Of its name and multiiarious trans
gressions. They are hankering after redi
VivEs Of their power and principles under Il
new dodge. They never yet obtained pow
er except under false pretenses, and the
great obstacle in the way OF the success of
their present intrigue, is that the people are
so well instructed in reference to all tEeir
subterfuges, that no new names in the vo-
vocabulary which they may adopt wil pro-
t,ct them from being dentified:-Stqtes.
"Old party lines are extinct" say our
abolition and Wing friends, in their at
tempt to get up a conglomerated mass of all
party isms, ties and factions. What old
party lines are extinct? Are the lines of
the old Democratic party extinct when
nearly every State in the Union is under
the control Of the Democratic party, togeth-
er with our National Government? The
lines OF the old Democratic party extinct,
when every measure which that party has
ever advocated, every principle for which
she has fought, been finally estabshed?--
No! THIS is no time for the Democratic
party to waver, to wipe out the lines, to
abandon the principles for which we have
so long fought. We hear of no Democrat
exclaiming that "old party lines are extinct"
1t all comes from the old ancient enemy of
Democratic principles and measures The
cold Wing party lines are extinct" and why?
Because the people have made them so by
the total defeatof that party in almost every
one of their strongholds in the nation. The
lines of that party have become extinct when
the hopes Of the office-seekers for place
and power become extinct. The party lines
of that party become extinct when they see
no other hope of success but the hope of
deceiving some Democrats by the cry Of no
party. When the leaders of the Wing and
Abolition parties struck a bargain and de-
termined to unite and divide the spoils-
when the fusion for the sake of the spoil
was determined upon-then it was that this
cry of "paity lines" being "extinct" was
raised. Is there Democrat in the land
who is any the less Democrat now than
he was years ago? Is there Wing who is
any the less an old fashioned Whig than he
was whel, he followed the lead of Clay
and Webster? Is ,heir an abolitonst
vino is new less an abolitionst than he was
in days of yore? If not, then whence
comes this cry of no psrtyism? With the
Wings and Abol ionists, it is cxpediency
for the present, and hopes for the Future
No matter how it is done, SO that the Dem
ocratic party is divided and broken up
Neither of these factions have any thing to
loose, even if they fail in their purpose
They are both so hopeless in the minority
that they have no chance Of success.

"Voice of the Wing Press Pub
lie Opinion in Ohio"

The Logan County Gazette, which has
for the last nine years been faithful or
gan of the Wings Of old Logan, is evidently
''disgusted" at the late abortive effort al fds-
ion. 1t does not appear to swallow the dose
commended TO its lips. The nominees Ct the
Coalition are favorably referred to, but il
omits their names at the head of its editori'
al columns. OF the platform, the editor
says:
"As to the resolutions. They don't a.
mount to much. Wing and Democratic
Conventions have heretofore, in various pla-
ces, adopted resolutions quite as strong
The less said the better. and in this respect
we approve these resolutions. We don't
see very well how less could have been said.
One resolution, however, pledges the Con-
vention by indiIection against the acquisition
Of Cuba. This is folly, to say the least
Cuba must come, slavery or no slavery
1t must never pass from the hands of Spain
to any power but the United States. This
is manifest destiny. But it is also manifest
policy. We commend the prudence of the
gentlemen sOho KEPT IF the record on this
question"
This is the position of the Columbian,
but it is fereely assailed by the State Jour
nal. The fusion is evidently a bad job
There is no such thing as harmonzlng such
jarring and discordant elements.
The telegraphic correspondent of the
Gazette, supposed to be Senator LAWRENCE,
thus notices the damaged condition of the
Whig party on the 18th:
Columbus, July l3-P. M.-The Wing
party is not tied up in any thing. 1t is sup
posed to be lying about loose"
The fragments are in such disordered
and damaged condition, that all efforts to
gather them up and bring them to anchor
have thus far been unavaling. The pieces

Importan: TO New Settlers.

| A bill to grant homesteads TO early set
tiers in New Mexico, Kansas, and Nebras,
ka, has just passed both Houses Of Congress,
and has beenG signed by the Presi3ent.--
1t grants 100 acres of land to persons who
resided within the territory prior to the lst
of January, 1873, or who may remove and
settle there before the first OF January,
1855. We copy a section of the bill;
SEC. 2. Ant he Il further enacted, That,
to every white male citizen of the United
States, or every white male above the age
of 81 years who has declared his intention
to become citizer, and who was residing
in said Territory prior to the first day OF
January 1858, and who may be still resi-
ding there, there shall be, and hereby is,
donated one quarter section, or l6O acres
of land, And TO every white male citizen
of the United States, or every white male
above the age of twenty -one years, who has
declared his intention to become citizen,
and who shall have removed or shall re.
move to and settle in said Territory be.
tween the first day of January eighteen hun.
dred and ffty-three, and the first day of
January, eighteen hundred and fifty eight
their shall in like manner be donated one
quarter section, or one hundred and sixty
acres, on condition of actual settlement and
cultivation for not less than four years.
Provided, however, That each Of said dona-
tons shall include the actual settlement and
improvement of the donee, and sha II be
selected by legal subdivisions, within three
months after the survey OF the land where
the settlement was made before the survey;
and where the settlement was made after the
survey, then within three months after the
settlement has been made; and all persons
falling to designate the boundaries of their
claims within that time, shall forfeit alright
to the same.
This bill is an improvement upon the
amendment to the homestead bill, proposed
by Mr.. Hunter, as it does not require y
pay from the settler, and onl y requires four
years residence instead of five. Persons
4esiring homes in Kansas, or Nebraska
will be glad TO learn that by this bill they
can secure them without paying any thing
for them, by complying with the above con-
dtions.-O. S. Journal.
