The GREAT ORIENTAL WIzARD.-The soiree
of NJ. Leo Taylor, the great magician, which
took place in the City Hall last night, was
eminently successful as display of natural
magic, aud of great artistic skill. The unique,
varied, and startling exhibition will be con-
tinued this evening, and we have no doubt

The DEMONSTRATION AGAINST THE KNOW
MORNINGS IN WAsHINGToN.-The Washington
correspondent of the New York Journal of
Commerce, gives the following account of the
meeting called by the administration, to put
down the Know Nothings in Washington:
elm pursuance of the Administration policy
of multiplying issues for the fall elections, so
as to divert the attention of the people from
the question of the repeal of the Missouri
compromise, an official out door meeting was
held here last night, to devise measures to
crush out Know Nothingism. The meeting
was not numerous, and was as complete
farce as ever was played outside the walls of
theatre. The meeting was called by Office
holders and applicants for Office, but the terms
of the call were so ambiguous as to include
the know Nothings themselves, being ad-
dressed to all friends of civil and religious
freedom. The proceedings oscilated tor
short time between farce and genteel comedy,
but as soon as the speaking began, the artil-
lery of fun was brought to bear, and the de-
monstration eXhaled amidst shouts of laugh
ter. Some of the officers, whose salaries were
the largest, assumed the most serious air pos
sible under the circumstances, and assured
the crowd that the affair was no joke

FINE STocK-Among the chief attractions
at the cattle pens upon the grounds of the
Agricultural Society, on Wednesday and
Thursday, will be the fine specimens of AL
derney cows belonging to Stephen Salisbury,
and Paine Aldrich, of this city. In appear
ance, these animals have nothing to recon-
mend them, but the superiority of their milk
and the enormous quantities of butter which
they produce, more than make up for all de
fects in size and beauty, and justifes the
high praises and high prices which they al
ways command.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. "a. Il Challenge De-
cIined.-A sharp personal correspondence has
occurred between Senator Cooper and Morton
McNIichael editor of the North American and
United States Gazette, in consequence Of an
article published in that paper, rejecting upon
the city subscription to the Sunbury and Erie
Railroad, as having been obtained by false
pretences and malversation. Mr.. Cooper ad-
dressed note to Mr.. McMichael, asking if
tho language applied to him. Mr.. McMichaers
reply denied the right of Mr.. Cooper to ques-
ton him, but acknowledged his own respon-
sibllty, legally, morally, and personally for
the remarks in question, as well as for any
thing that appeared in the paper. Mr.. Cooper
sent Hon. Mr.. Cass johnson of Maryland as
his friend and the bearer of challenge to Mr..
McMichael, who asked for two days consider
alton. At the termination of that time the
challenge was declined, on the ground that it
was his duty as journalist to animadvert
upon such transactions, and that he could not
be held personally responsible. By provision
of the Constitution OF this state, the sending
OF challenge is made misdemeanor, pun
ishable with'fne and imprisonment and max es
the challenger incompetent to holding Office of
trust, honor or profit.

CONSIDER THE LILIES HOW THEY Grow"
The Victoria Regia or great water lily of South
America now growing in the conservatory of
D. w. Lincoln, Esq, has already put forth
two blossom buds, which will probably open
in the course of three or four days.. Some of
the leaves are nearly four and a half feet in
diameter, and their buoyancy is such, that
they will support the weight of a small child.
Persons visiting the Cattle Show should not
be unmindful of this vegetable wonder, which
may be seen arrayed in all its glory in the
conservatory above named, a short distance
south of the grounds of the Agricultural So
ciety.
