EFFECT OF THE NEBRASKA MovEMEYr.-A
leafing Democrat now in Washington, says
the New York Commercial, gentleman OF
ofin,elligence and discernment, and friend
of the Administration, thus writes 10 friend
in that city,-the expressive sentiments not
being des gned for publication:
"We anticipate very exciting scenes in
Congress. The Nebraska bill will entirely
break up the Democratic party, fear. Many
Southern men are opposed to repeal OF the
Misst uri Compromise. They knew very
well tina, slavery can never be carried into
Nebraska, and they fear that tie repeal OF
the Compromise, while it will de- them no
60 d, will establish precedent for the re-
peal of other iaws-the fugitive slave IaS
perhaps"

Sir Isaac NEWTON AND VoLrArRE.--Sir
Isaac Newton wrote work upon the proph-
ct Daniel: and another upon the book of Rev
citation, in one of which he said, that in or
der to fulfil certain prophecies before GER
tain date was terminated, namely, 1860, there
would be mode of travelling Of which tho
men of his time had no conception, nay that
the knowledge of mankind would be 30 in
creased that they would be able to travel at
the rate Of fifty miles an hour.
Voltaire, who did not believe in the inspi-
ration of the Scriptures got hold of this and
said: Z" Now look at that mighty mind of
Newton, who discovered gravity, and told Us
such marveis for US all to admire. When he
became an old mcn, and got into his dotage,
he began 10 study that book called the Bible,
and it seems, that in order to credit its fabu-
lous nonsense we must believe that the know!i-
edge of mankind Will be so increased that w e
shall be able to travel at the rate Of fifty
miles an hour" The old dotard. exclaimed
the philosophc infdel Voltare, in the self
compacency of his Pity. But who is the DO
tard now !-Rer. J. Craig.

The Nebraska Bill.

The Enquirer asks US to tell our readers
what the Nebraska Bill is. We presumed
our readers knew the prominent, features of
this bill, from extracts relative to it we have
published from other papers. We shall in
few days publish the bill entire, or fair ab-
stract Of it. In the mean time, we beg leave
20 call our neighbours attention to the TACT,
that we have most heartily condemned Sen
atoE Douglass for bringing forward this bill.
Does the Enquirer defend him! Is it for or
against this bill! 1t knows our position
now we wish to know how the Enquirer
stands. If we find this most intelligent OF
all neighbors supports the bill, we shall very
soon comply with his request by givin. the
dangerous attributes" of the measure.

CHEAP GAS FoE FEBRUARY.-To-day we
Shall see the first gas bills since the reduc-
ton IN price-S2,50 per 1900 feet, and free
Of meter rent at that. This is liberal re-
duciion on The part of the Gas Company, and
viii be appreciated on the part Of the commu-
niiy.-CiR. Col.
Our February bills, or bills fer gas coz
sumed in January, had the same reduction
$3.50 per one thousand cubic feet, instead of
So. The reduction here was caused by that
in Cincinnati, The company here conceiying
themselves pledged by their contract to fur
nish gas at the Cincinnati price. When tie
contractwas made, it was supposed by our
company that the Cincinnati rates would
not be changed for many years. 1t is per.
haps unnecessary for US TO say, that with the
comparatively limited patronage Of the CON-
pany here, and in consideration of the fact
that the late published statement Of their az
iars showed that they were loosing money,
this reduction will have marked effect on
the Pecuniary prosperity of the Gas Compu-
ny Tor some time to come. But we believe
the Company will eventually be the gamer
by this reduction. Many persons will be in
duced to use gas, who have heretofore feared
the expense. 1t is now certainly the cheap.
est good light we can use--far cheaper when
we consider its immense advantages ofcIean.
Illness, convenience and brilliancy. We hone
every man owning decent tenement. whe,b
er used as store or dwelling, rented or &C.
cupied by himself, may he induced to light i,
up with gas. It is now within the reach of
all, and no one who uses tallow candles or
oil, can object to gas on account of its ex
pense.

can.l Afouna the rains.

This important matter is again being agl'
tated by parties interested. with an energy
that would strongly indicate success. To all
thUse who have been delayed and annoyed in
hundreds Of ways in navigating the present
zone horse" canal at Louisville, this will be
welcome news, while we can imagine no
class of people who will find fault with such
a movement. unless it may be our Louisville
neighbors, who undoubtedly owe great por-
ton of their wealth and prosperity to this
great nationalTclog TO navigation on the
Ohio. The canal cow in contemplation will
be capable Of admitting the largest class OF
boats to pass with good degree of speed and
with entire safety. The work will be COM
menced early in the ensuing spring, under
the supervision Of board Of directors recent
y elected, at a meeting of the stockholders
in Cincinnati. We observe that Judge Law,
OF this city, is a member of the Board of Di-
rectors, and we trust that, in view OF the i'm
portance of such channel to our growing
city, the Judge will leave nothing on his part
undone to facilitate the work.
There is, perhaps, no point on our large
navigable rivers that has been so serious an
interruption to inland commerce as the Falls
at Louisville, especially when contemplated
in connection with the immensely increased
facilities that would be afforded by such a
channel as the present company now propose
to make. The trade and business Uf Louis
vile may be materially changed by its con-
struction, but on the whole, we are unable 10
discover that the business of that city can be
lessened or injured thereby.
The Cincinnati Columbian says: GA new
Canal around the Falls is now fixed fact
The sum of S2l7,o 600 has been subscribed by
able and prompt paying men," 1t will be

Locoroco Rebellion.

Although "the Administration +" is said to
be decidedly in favor of Douglass Nebraska
Bill, and the Administrators particular or
gan, the Washington Union, loudly adyo-
Gates this bill and threatens Locofoco organs
who may not do the same, yet we are glad to
see some papers ofthat party warmly express
their opposition to the whole affair. We do
not think such independence will become
very prevalent. therefore it is the better wor-
thy of notice now. Many Democratic papers
are anxiously waiting the tide Of events be-
fore they take sides. They are determined
not to " put their foot in it, " till they know
how far party allegiance may claim them as
friends of the bill. Or how much ''indepen-
dence" will be required to oppose the meas
ure. They will doubtless one OF these days
either enough courage to speak out on the
subject. Our friend of the Albany Ledger
has exhibited little more boldness than some
of his brethren in Indiana, and has thus spo.
ken:
For our part. we 10 not see any necessity
for organizing Nebraska at the present time.
Fit is organizadi it ought to be free territory.
The attempt to force the administration and
its friends into measure that violates tu ice
plghted faith, FOR the benefit Of residen.
t1l aspir"n', will, we think, signaIly fail
Bat, whether the administration succumbs or
not, the press should not hesitate to denounce
the scheme. The fear Of being read out OF
the party by Washington organs or crafty
politicians. 'hard' or 'soft.' should not prevent
a free and fearless expression of public sem
t;ment.'-Le@gsr.
We fear the administration has already
cuccumbed, and is lending its influence in
favor Of ;his oil. Ii the Washington Union
considers the Ledger worth noticing, the lat.
ter may confidently expect TO be read out o
the party for its impudence in daring to have
and express an opinion of its own. The Tn.
ion makes no allowance for feeling or spirit
it does not possess in the slightest degree
itself--hones, independence.
But here is voice from Ohio, which We
give without comment. Il is from q promi
nent democratic paper,
"DoUGLAs's NEBRAsSA.-Let no member
Of Congress vote for Douglass bill for Ter
ritoria government to Nebraska. If any DO
they had NOT better return ~ Oho-mark il
Much as we desire the organization OF Ne

DR.. Fosters Parish. A meeting was held at

purpose of administering the Rite of Confirm
atm. Some four or five members of DR..
Fosters congregation we're confirmed by the
Bishop. The ceremony was performed in
most interesting aud impressive manner
The Rev. Bishop preached twice Gu Sunday
last, TO crowded houses both morning and
evening. His sermons evinced beauty of
style and depth Of logic. universally admired
and rarely excelled. The Bishops delivery
is still remarkably fluent and distinct for a
man of his advanced age. His visit
has prov ed a delightful repast to the Par
ish in this place, with which he expressed
himself equally pleased to find in more pros
porous condition than at any previous visit.
