INTERNAL MAcHISE.-The London CORE
spondent Of the New York Journal Of Com
nerce communicates some interesting facts,
touching certain extraordinary ofoffence
the Emperor of Russia is said to have at hand.
We quote:
"Great CONSERVATION has been caused by a
statement that the Car is possessed of newly
invented projectie, or Internal she'll as it is
called, the appalling efficiency Of which is pre-
sumed to have been proved in the horrible Gu
tastrophe at Sinope. The invention of this
destructive apparatus is attributed to two
Frenchmen named Fortier and Champion, the
former of whom registered his discovery in
Paris in 1899, under the title OF the Boate
Asphyriant, and the latter made formal offer
of similar implement, with improvements, to
the French government in 1912. Louis Phi
lippe and his ministers, however, declined to
profit by either Of these opportunities, consider
ing that the use Of such murderous machines
was inadmissible by the laws of honorable
warfare. Champion appears to have been a
desperate and inscriptions character, who, IN
q notorious career in Paris, had exhausted
every means Of gain, lawful and otherwise. II
is now recollected, that, some years ago, he re-
paired his shattered fortune by visit to Rus
sa: and the obvious inference accordingly is,
that he must have sold the secret to the Gar.
The possession of such wholesale means OF
destruction would OF once account for the de-
fiance of the powerful naval ornaments OF
England and France by the Russian despot.
The affair at Sinope was undoubtedly shrouded
in intense mystery. The Turks were panic
struck, and assigned the sudden discontinue
of their fleet to what they call "Greek fire.
or some potent spell of witchcraft. 1t was the
examination Of fragments of the wreck which
first led to the suspicion that an invention
hitherto unknown in warfare had been used;
and n French naval officer, who had been in
the bureau of the marine, when Fortiers
/" Boulet Asphyriant' was offered, noticed the
similarity of the effects to those its description
predicted. 1t has not transpired what has be
come of Fortier and Champion; but the scien,
tific men in Paris are busily engaged in exam
ing the dossier connected with Fortiers regis
try, for the purpose of finding some clue to the
principle of the invention, though it is not yei
known how far they have succeeded. The ef
fects of the machine are variously ydescribed. In
addition to tremendous explosive power, there
is said 10 be kind of liquid fire burning under
water and destroying life by an emission OF
suffoeating vapor. One account thus concludes:
IF the Emperor of Russia is really in posses
sion Of this deadly element of destruction, the
combined navies Of the universe will be power
less against him. It's, nevertheless, most provi-
Dental that our commanders have been put on
their guard, and we can only hope that some
means may be devised to counteract this mys
terious agency, if it indeed exist To repine
at the disregard Of such discoveries, by France
and England, is now too late; but, as regards
the future, the lesson will not be lost"

PARTY DISCIPLINE.

We said a few days since, that the Consttu.
ton ofthe United States contained no element
Of sectionalism. We also said that there is
now piebald band Of discontented spirits, who
are laboring to peryert and to prostitute tha,
instrument to their own selfish and corrupt
ends. They insist, in the face of the plainest
provisions of that instrument, that it is sec.
tional in its character, and sooner than yield
up that point they would ruthlessly and reck-
lessly destroy it.
Upon this basis they have formed party
composed Of the most fanatical and incendiary
Observation-Disclosures freesoiers, political
parsons, womans-rights men, ef6gy-burners,
.apostate democrats, and extremists and de-
structives of every hue and stripe. They are
seeking an alliance with the northern wings, in
order to organize an effective force against the
democratic party Of the country.
1t becomes the great constitutional democ-
racy of the country to be vigilant and cautious.
1t becomes them to plant themselves still more
firmly upon that Constitution which is the basis
Of their creed and to keep banded together in
close and solid phalanx. No party can hold
together that has not the Constitution for its
basis, and that does not acknowledge the equal
rights Of the States. No party can hold
together that plants itself on an ism, or batch
of ismS, or on q sectional basis. No such
party can be an honest party; nor can such
party be national in its character; and by the
term national, we mean general. Such party
may succeed in township, sometimes in a
State, but never for any length Of time in gen.

tending to make them lazy and dependent;
but suggests that, by expending such annuities
in employing board of teachers qualified to
give instruction in farming and mechanics, and
in the purchase of stock and implements, that

principled white men, sailors, and spectators,
Cwho are now corrupting the Indians with their
gambling and debauchery) would in few
years establish these people in comfort and
independence. He speaks from experience
when he says that these Indians are initiative
and ingenious, and that they are desirous of
adopting civilized habits.
Mr.. Chapman relates that, when he present
ed several Indian women with some calico, and
showed them dress such as is worn by civilized
women, they, after examining the garment very
carefully, made up their calico in very good
imitation of it, and were delighted with their
new apparel.
The men, also, requested to be admitted into
a steam vessel which was near the shore, but
were refused They went to work, rudely con-
structed paddle-wheels to their canoe, built q
fire in the centre, and placed kettle of water
over it, and when the steam arose from the
spout, with man swimming in the water on
each side, turning their paddles, they made
their way to the steamboat Their ludicrous
appearance gained them admission to the YES
sci, about which their curiosity was so much
excited
There is no doubt but that men who will at
tempt to make q steamboat, however rude that
attempt may be, could be taught many other
elements of civilization, if proper means were
taken to impart the instruction.

THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS OF OHIO
AND THE NEBRASKA BILL.

The Ohio Statesman makes the following
correction of statement contained in the San
dusky Mirror:
"'According TO the Sandusky Mirror, there are
in Ohio twenty EIGHT democratic papers opposed
TO the Nebraska BILL and but nine in favor Of il, sc
far as that paper has been able TO ascertain.
Such paragraphs as the above are floating
over the State. They may be found in the Gin
cinnati Gazette, Steubenville Union, etc. With
out taking any census, we give, from memory
the names of thirty-two Democratic papers
which are decidedly in favor of the bill.
Cincinnati Enquirer, Cleveland Plaindealer,
Dayton Empire, Portage Sentinel
Trumbull Democrat Ohio Eagle Lancaster,
Lancaster Telegraph, Athens Democrat.
Crawford County Forum. Stark County Democrat,
Sarahsville Courier, Coshocton Democrat,
Shelby Democrat Hamilton Telegraph,
Georgetown Union, Circleville Herald,
Lebanon Citizen Piqua Enquirer,
New Phil. Democrat, Marietta lniellgencer,
Morgan Co. Chronicle, GAINESVILLE Aurora,
Marion Mirror, St. Clairsville Gazette,
Springfield Expostor, Licking Herald,
Rossville Sentinel, Mt. Gilead Messenger,
Guernsey Jefersonian Lorain Argus,
Eaton Democrat. Mt. Vernon Banner.
Here are thirty-two papers which have spo
ken unequirocally in favor of the bill; and we
do not count the Statesman being over mod
est. The circulation of these more than quad
ruples all. the other Democratic papers in the
State. There are, perhaps dozen others tha
we do not remember, that have spoken for thu

ITEMS OF NEWS.

IHE POWHATAN.-1n another column Is de-
tailed and thrilling account of the late wreck
and immense loss Of life. The life-car and ap-
pliances were at so great distance from the
scene Of the disaster, that before it could arrive
the storm had risen to such pitch that it was
Of no avail. In more than one instance has
this invention been the means of saving life /;
and were Congress to make liberal appropria-
ton for this humane object, and provide them
in abundance for our most exposed and dam
gerous coasts, there would be less mourning for
relatives and friends than at present.
1t will be seen that the wreck-master was,
on his arrival enabled to hold a discourse with
the captain of the vessel, in which the latter
urged him to rescue and save those on shore.
Had the life-car been near at that time, many
would have been saved. This benevolent in
vention has been tested, and we think the SUBJ
ject should be considered by Congress at once,
and steps taken to provide for such emergencies.
These shocking disasters have become so fire.
quent that thrill of terror pervades every one
who is compelled to make transit across the
ocean.
RIor-SHERIFF KILLEp.-A terrible riot oc-
Cured at saginau, (says despatch from
Buffalo, of yesterday on the 2lst. 1t appears
that large number of citizens, amounting to
several hundred, determined to rescue from
prison some persons confined therein. The
sheriff and his posse attempted to sustain the
law; but in this attempt he lost his life, and
several others were badly wounded. The de-
spatch further states that the prisonerswere not
released.
