sAs.-The Hon. John s. Pendieton, late
U. S. Minister to Buenos Ayers. in his tes-
timony before the Downing cour; martial in
Philadelphia, stated that Gen. Rosas, during
the recent revolution there, had caused 5000
persons to be privately assassinated in fifteen
years, and that within week Of the time in
which application was made by the persons
for assistance to escape, he (Rosas) had more
than dozen persons arrested in the streets
and shot down at once, without any trial
whatever. The public executions were enor-
nous. There was club organized for the
purpose of declaring who should be killed.
The houses of the doomed were broken open
at night, The inmates murdered, and their
bodies carried away in the public carts the
next morning. II any one should happen to
complain, it would be his or her turn next to
be assassinated.

COFFEE Observation-Disclosures is wax.
ing potent enough to threaten an usurpation
of bIeakfastdom. Hear what an experien-
ced philosopher pronounces to the coming
revolutions:
Liebig, the great German chemist, says
that asparagus contains, in common with tea
and coffee, principle which he calls "t4u-
rine," and which he considers essential to
the health of those who do not take strong
exercise. Taking the hint from Baron Lie
big, writer i'm the London Gardeners
Chronicle, was led to test asparagus as SUBJ
stitute for coffee. He says:
a"The young shoots first prepared were not
agreeable, having an alkaline taste. / then
tried the ripe seeds; these roasted and ground
make full favored coffee, not easily distn-
guishable from the Mocha. The seeds are
easily freed from the berry by drying them
IN cool oven, and then rubbing them on a
seive. In good soils asparagus yields album
dainty, and if they are charged with "tau-
rine," and identical with the seeds of the
coffee plant. asparagus coffee may be grown
in the United States at less than half the
expense per pound Of the article now largely
imported"

Mr.. EDIToR:-I notice in recent No. of
your Weekly Journal, also in the New York
Weekly Leader, an account Of the extent of
farming carried on this year by Jacob Strach.
an, of Illinois, which think TO be exagger-
ated; but will tell you what learned from
good authority last October, while passing
through that country.
He commenced business by buying calves
and soon became an extensive cattle trader.
He has been KIN ,wn to be week at a time
that he never eat or slept, only when his
horse was eating or rs he was riding along
the road. At one time he vent perfectly
insane, because he could not get an eighty
acre lot of land, TO make his land square,
therefore he was sent to the hospital and res
tored to his proper mind.
While passing one Of his farms this side
Of Jacksonville, for curiosiiy's sake count
ed the cattle in one field. They numbered
some hundreds, and in lot or grove near by
was his place for feeding them. At one
time he completely monopolized the st. Lou
is beef market. Now | ask the reader
which is the most happy man-Jacoo Strach-
an, or the man of ordinary circumstances!

~ 1t has been charged that good deal
of that deadly poison, stry chnia, is used in
the manufacture of certain liquors. We
have also seen this denied. To-day we pub.
lish an article written for the Vevay Reveille.
Whether the poison is used so extensively as
the writer says, makes no difference. 1t IS
used, and sufficiently doubtless to be very in
furious to the drinker. A "little" poison is
often good medicine, we are aware, but we
fear these doses of strychnia are not always
delicately proportioned.

RESULT OF HIGH PRIcEs.-Last season
the price of board at Cape May was from
$40 to Sl2 per week at the hotels, and they
were all crowded-some seven thousand visi-
tors being on the island all through the month
ofJuly. This season it was announced the
board would be raised to Sl2 and SlS, and
extra hotels were put up, capable of accom-
modatng ten thousand persons; but it ap.
pears from last accounts not more than ff-
teen hundred persons are on the island, and
the season is concluded failure.

MORNING STAR LODGE No. =, 10. U. F.
EVANSVILLE, July 81, 1854.
At q regular meeting OF this Lodge, held
this evening, the following preamble and re-
solutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, by a dispeDsation Of an all
wise God, we have been called upon during
the present week to mourn the loss of two
worthy and well beloved brOthers-Brother
John NJ. Stockwell and Brother John K.
Wilcox, both dying in the prime OF life and
in the midst of usefulness, respected and be-
loved by all who knew them, and endeared
TO US as brothers by the stroDg est and dear
est of human ties, by their death we feel that
not only two enterprising and valuable citi-
zens are removed from US, but also two kind
and affectonate brothers, whose cheerful
voices and open, generous hearts, have SO Of
ten enhanced the pleasure of our meetings.
ResolUed, That We deeply AMI sincerely
sympathise with the bereaved and afflicted
widow, orphans, and friends Of our lamented
brothers, feeling that sympathy is all we can
ofer-we cannot repair the loss.
ResolU:d, That in memory Of our departed
brothers. our emblems and regalia shall be
shrouded in mourning thirty days.
Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing
preamble and resolutions be presented TO
the widow of Brother Wilcox and to the
nearest elatives or Brother Stockwell, and
also be published in the papers of this city.

structure, and 10 to build all the depots, Az.
eraging one every ten miles, and to build
depot at Evansville to cost $4,000. He has
let out already for the same price he is ito re-
ceive large portion of the line to Eastern
ca pitalists, no can command over halfa mil
lion dollars to put at once on the line. He ID
ready to let out part of it on the ssme terms
to any citizen Of Vincennes who may choose
to take the contrstfact, if they i'll fork over.
Here is an admirable chance to any grumb'
lers who may thing Mr.. C. is going to make
a fortune out Of this contract-they can take
as much as they want right of his hands! we
will here say Mr. Carpenter owns more stock
in this railroad than all the citizens Of Vim
cennes put together in the railroads OF that
city-and moreover has nearly paid his stock!
The Gazette also alludes to the Wabash
and Erie Canal. 1t is fearful the canal will
injure the road, &c. Now we can spare the
sympathy of Vincennes on this SUBJECT
There are some of our citizens who yet recol-
lect the old opposition OF Vincennes to this
canal coming here, and who will not be very
ready to believe in the sincerity OF any sym.
pathy manifested nop by that city for Evans
willie and the canal in conjunction. The
less the Gazette says on that subject, the bet.
ter for its own objects. The talk about the
Paducah railroad is all talk. We should re-
quire some substantial evidence of the Padu-
cab railroad being anything else but gas be-
fore we reply to an argument founted on it..
We now take leave of the subject. The
Straight Line Railroad is going forward fast
as its best friends counld desire, and better
and more surely than it was formerly antci.
paed it could under any possible circumstan-
ces at this early day. This community has
I'm confidence in the gentlemen at its head.
More indefatigable energy, industry and
perseverance, were never placed at the head
ola Western enterprise, than this has brought
Carpenter, the man directly attacked by the
Gazette-no single man ever before prob
ably took so much stock in western Rail-
road as he has done in this, and therefore no
one at the head of such an enterprise, could
have deeper feeling in it's completion than
he does in the speedy building of the Straight
Line Railroad. Moreover, he does not know
what the word fal is, and more particularly
he will never be introduced to the word in
this enterprise. With him and Smith in
control, and everything about the road
prosperous, We might we'll afford to pass by
all attacks of jealous enemies. We may do
80 hereafter.

PROTECTION OF RAILWAY EMBANKMEN1s.

PROTECTION OF RAILWAY EMBANKMENTs.
john Hinde, Of Schenectady, N. Y, sug-
gest means by which to protect the surface
grading and the embankment of railroads.
This he proposes to do by simply covering the
surfaces with coating Of coal tar, which
may be combined or not with sand dust grav-
ell, powdered plaster, paint stuffs, or other
substances of a similar nature. In this way
he also proposes to protect railroad ties and
other parts of the track, which il is desirable
to shield from the weather or those accumu-
lations of adhesive dust to which so many of
our railways are subjected.
