A BEAUTIFUL THoUGHT.-ss As in the light of
cultivated reason you look abroad, and see a
wealth of beauty, profusion of goodness in
the work of Him who has strown flowers in the
wilderness, and painted the bird, and enameled
the insect, in the simplicity and universally
of His laws, you can read this lesson. An I'M
educated man dreams not of the common sun
light, which now in its splendor floods the fir
manent and the landscape; he cannot compre-
bend how much of the loneliness of the world
results from the composite character OF light
and from the rejecting propensities of most
physical bodies. If, instead of red, yellow and
blue, which the analysis of the prism and ex-
periments of absorption have shown to be its
constituents, it had been homogeneous, simple
white, how changed would all have been! The
growing corn, the ripe harvest, the blossom and
the fruit, the fresh greenness of spring and au-
tumns robe of many colors, the hues of the vio-
let, the lily, and the rose, the silvery foam of
the rivulet, the emerald of the river, and the
purple of the ocean, would have been alike un-
known. The rninbow would have been but a
pale streak in the sky, and dull yapors would
have canopied the sun, instead of the clouds,
which in the dyes of flaming brilliancy curtain
his rising up and going down. Nay, there would
have been no distinction between the blood of
the children, the flush of health ,rthe paleness OF
decay, the hectic of disease, and the liyidness
of death. There would have been an UNMARRIED
unmeaning leaden hue where we now see the
changing and expressive countenanee, the tinted
earth and gorgeous armament"

The ouachita Register Of the 4th has the
following items:
The recent and almost unparalleled rain
throughout this section of country has raised
all the small rivers and bayous, and flooded the
swamp to m extent far beyond the memory Of
the Oldest inhabitant, at this season Of the year.
There is now, however, a prospect Of the water
receding sufficiently in a few days to enable
travellers to pass through the swamp without
much difficulty.

FATAL ACulDENT.--We understand that man
named VIM. Weaver, residing near Washington,
Miss, accidentally shot himself yesterday af-
ternoon, while on hunting excursion. The
particulars, as we heard them, are somewhat as
follows: He was endeavoring to climb hill,
for the purpose of obtaining shot at asquirrel
He first threw his gun about halfway up the
hill, and grasped the muzzle for the purpose of
drawing it to him; vine caught the hammer,
bringing it almost to half-cock, and coming
down with force enough to explode the cap
The charge entered his breast, decorating him
dreadfully. He survived but few minutes.

A Burned ship-Great Peril.

Captain Walker in a letter to the New
York Journal Of Commerce, dated st.
Helna, October 90, gives a long account
of the burning of his ship, the Polar
Star, in the South Atlantic, He had on
board eighty British troops, under Lieu
tenant Temple, with a number of women
and children, and on the lst of October,
when about 1000 miles from shore, the
fire broke out in the fore-hatchway.-
Great CONSERVATION ensued, and all
hands were put to work to stop the flames
by pouring down water. This proving
Intellectual, all the matches were closely
fastened down. But unfortunately near
ly all the clothing of the passengers was
below, and no possibility of getting at it !;
and, worst of all, the small boats were
not capable of containing two-thirds of
those on board. They were got ready,
however, for the last extremity. And
then, for two days and two nights, all on
board remained on deck, which gradual
" became hotter and hotter from the
raging ofthe flames below. Asthe third
night was setting in, when despair had
taken possession of them, they
were cheered by the sight of an approach
ing ship, and soon were safe OF board.
In a few moments after, their " yes
SCI Was consumed.

The Governors Election to be Legal
ly Contested In New York.

From the following, which we clip
from the New York Herald of the 10th,
it seems Gov. Seymour is inclined to
contest the election of Clark, his oppo-
nent. The Herald says
The Albany atlas of yesterday
publishes the official canvass of the votes
given in the recent State election, and
~animadverts upon the course of the can-
vegsers with regard to scattering votes,
contending that if the obvious intention
of voters had been carried out, Gov. Sey-
nour would be reelected by a plurality
of 165 votes over Mr.. Clark. The At
las concludes its remarks with the follow
ing significant observations: Cover
nor Seymour can neither, by his inaction,
give validity to the certificate which de-
clares Mr.. Clark elected, nor prevent
any citizen from questioning it BY legal
process. Private citizens haEe mede
partial exposition of the casesto emf
nent counsel, aed have obtained positive
and unreserved opinions Of the inyalidity
of Mr., CIark's claim to the Executive
chair. In what way that claim will be
~impeached. or how the validity of its
acts is to be questioned, at what stage of
his administration, are matters that be-
long, not to the newspaper press, but to
interested citizens, and the lawyers that
they may enlist.

Every account received from the war
in the Grimea is loud in praise of the
I" Mimic Rife.n
These FIRE arms in the hands of good
marksmen deal certain destruction at an
immense distance, and the wholesale
slaughter of the Russian gunners at the
bate ries of SevastopoI, has won for this
weapon of death the son6raqNet of King
of Fire Arms So dreaded is this fatal
ball that a Russian gunner goes to his
station at an embrasure as to certain
death
The barrel of rifle has, running the
length of its inner surface, spiral grooves;
hence the name of rife, which means a
rgFea or grooyed gun, The object Of a
ryaed barrel is to give greater precision
to the ball, by communicating to it a 70
tary motion. This motion it receives
on its passage out eff the gun, provided
the ball is so crowded into the barrel as
to fill up partially or entirely the grooves;
and the more perfectly the ball fits into
the barrel the truer its course, and the
less qcindage there is, the less space is
there between the ball and barrel for
the strength of the powder to escape
1t is estimated that when the windage
is only one-twsntieth of the calibre of
the gun, one third of the powder escapes,
and of course its strenth is lost.
The great object therefore to be at
tanned, is a perfect fit to the barrel by.
the ball, thus to give the rotary motion
and to save the powder.
Sportsmen put a patch over the bah,
and by great effort hammer, or ram it
down. This slow process, however,
would not answer militrry purposes.
A French gunzpith inEented q rifle
which had its breeeh pin project wedge
shaped, about two inches into the barrel.
The ball, a eonicaI shaped one, was then
dropped into the barrel, and a few heavy
blows by the hammer, drove the, wedge
or pin into the ball SO as to. ELL the
grooves in the barrel.
The mimic ball, now so famous, is an
improvement upon all balls, inasmuch
as it makes the powder slug to spread
the ball, instead of the rammer doing
that work. This cut shows the shape of
the mimic hall 8

Democrats viii take notice that the
Convention to appoint delegates to the
Democratic State Convention, Will meet
IN Ashland, on Thursday. the 4th prox=
imo. The notice is very brief, but this
is owing to the fact that the Chairman
Of the Central Committee, Mr.. HILL, is
ct present residing in Columbus. The
State Central Committee were not unan-
imous for holding the Convention to
nominate on the 9Th, but it was thought
advisable to call the Convention, as usu-
al, and let it determine what viii be
for the interests of the Democratic Party
Of Ohio. Such q body, fresh from the
people, viii, We think, determine the
matter satisfactorily. For our own part,
We think . nomination some time next
Summer Would be the best thing for the
Democratic party. Tt would enable us
60 know who and what We have to fight.
The peculiar position of parties in Ohio,
il seems 20 as, renders this course nee
essafy. Everything goes to show that
ageneral rapture must soon take place
among the allied Fusionists. There
were too many discordant elements
mized up h thelast campaign. Such a
combination cannot hold together but
for 0n fight. That fgbt they have
had and GAINED The dav. Nov Il ouy
