Western Mineral Springs.

The Jonesboro (Ill.) Gazette describes
some mineral springs, about six miles from
that place. which are pronounced TO be
equal to those at Saratoga. A village called
Western Saratoga is growing up around
them, and they have already become the re-
sort of many inEalids- The springs may be
very fine. but il is very foolish to name The
village after the New York city. Saratoga
is pretty enough sounding name, but j
would indicate poverty of language that
does not exist, to give II the prefix of West
ern for the purpose of naming the new
springs. There are many other words
which would answe, IS well as regards
euphoay, and much better if the purpose be
10 give the new place an individuality Gifts
own. We expect that medicine waters
translated into one Of the Indian dialects
would give a wellsounding as well as a
self-desoribing appellation, and We commend
the idea TO the friends Of the newly-discoy-
cred watering place.

A ,elegraphic despatch received at ST.
Louis on the 18th inst, states that the
Freesoilers OF Kansas lad nominated Gov
ernor Rseder as Delegate TO Congress, and
had selected the second Monday in October
as the DAY OF election, being week later
,hsn the time appointed by the bogus Le-
gislature.
This selection OF the day was made prop
erly and purposely BY the bona .fas citizens
OF the Territory, in order to express their
opinion OF the doings Of A,chison and String
fellows mob. The probability now is that
Whitfield viii be voted for by imported
Missourians on the day named BY the sham
Leg stature, and Gov. Reeder will be re-
turned by the legal voters of the Territory.
The question viii thus come before the
House Of Representatives,. Invested Of all
irrelevani matter, and in exercising its ex-
elusive judgment concerning the election
OF its own members. the House will have an
early opportunity Of placing itself on the re-
cord in relation to the unlawful proceedings
of the self-sppointed dictators of Kansas.

We see r-s,sv4 ia, NJ. rSlln,ose,de

We see N~stst4 that Mr.. FSliuofe'de-
clincd the profercd honor Of a l., L. ID.
from the University Of Oxford, on the ground
that he had never received an University or
College education. This was very sen
able declnsiion on the par, OF the Ex-
President. The profering Of the honor,
however. shows thar even an,iqua,ed Ok.
ford is not entirely unnnueneed by the in
novating spirit OF the presen, age. Learned
in the languages a. Dr.. johnson was, Ok.
ford did not confer the degree OF Doctor up
on him, until his Dictionary had established
for him European reputation, the reason
for the long delay being that ne bad never
gone through a full college course. And
though the Doctor was one of the most
strenuous Tories in England, posterity
would doubtless have called him plain Mr..
johnson, il extraordinary exer,ions bad not
been made BY his friends 10 induce the 9TH
Gers Of the university to confer the degree.
We NAV certainly say with confidence that
the world moves, when the ivy-crowned
toryism Of Oxford proposes, without solicit
alton, to cenfer enc Of its most honorary
titles upon the Ex-President Of Republic,
and eren upon one whose literary growth
had never been directed either by an Eu-
ropean or an American Alma Mater Sure
ly the genius Of Toyism never paid more
fiatteying compliment TO the genius of Re-
publicanism, and if Oxford give many more
examples Of such la,i,adinarian l,berality.
il cannot longer be asserted that unreform
ing exclusiveness has any tirmer hahi,ation
on the banks Of the Isis than on those of
the Csm.

A wonderful Invention.

Mr.. David f. Hughes, Of kentusky, has
invented "A new printing telegraphic instrn-
mcnt, which possesses great advantages ov-
or all the present modes of telegraphing'
Some of these advantages are, that II prints
with the most astonishing rapidly, that II
communicates and receives Intelligence a,
the same moment, that its peculiarly OF
construction is such as to cut of, when de-
sirable, IRON all intermediate stations, the
knowledge of a message sent from one dis
tan, point TO another, so that any person in
Memphis, for example, wishing to convey
a secret to his friend in Nashville or New
Orleaas, may do so with as much privacy as
II he were whispering it into his ear lie
has only to give notice to that trend to at
tend specific aour at the Telegraph Office,
and sucliis the simplicity OF working the
instrument that the one may transmit and
the other receive the message without the
cooperation Of an agent. though neither
may know ANYTHING OF the principles OF
telegraphing. 1t is only necessary that
they should know how TO spell and read
Another great beauty of the invention is,
that i, may be readily attached to any OF
the Geographic modes OF correspondence
now in use; and the principles upon which
the powers of the natural and electro-mag-
nets are brought into requisition are such
as to admit OF The transmission OF messages
in any condition of the atmosphere. At
the present moment, and so long as the
siege of Sebnstopol may last, we should
think that the Government, OF France and
England would be willing to pay almost
any price for the means OF secret cores
pondence with their respe c,ive Generals
Indeed, to every Government OF Europe oc-
casions may occur when an immediate and
secret order to a Foreign Minister might
lead to important diplomatic results. In
the United States, where the Government
has few or no secrets, the machinery OF Dir.
Hughes will nevertheless be found OF in
use in commercial correspon-
dence, and we d, ubt not that as soon AS It's
merits shall have been satisfactorily tested
il willreceiye all the encouragement which
its ingenious inventor can anticipate. Tbs
National Iate!ligeacer understands that
model Of the machine is now on its way TO
Europe.

DIvIpIse The PRoEITs.-The Boston Poil
states that dry goods firm in that city d.
yided Eve thousand dollars among its clerks
in August last, being the amount of profits
accruingin that month above the per cent,
age which the firm had fx:d as the limit OF
wha, it wished to make.
1--we knew what was the rate of per
centage fixed by the firm we would be bet
ter able to say whether its conduct deserves
communication. fit only required fair
and reasonable profit, the act was praisewor-
thy; II the excess was in addition to that
kind Of profit, then the liberality to the
clerks was an imposition upon the commu-
nifty. Boston merchants are however pro-
verbal for their munihcence, and it may be
that the PRESENTS bit another of the many
instances OF meritorious lberality.

MONUMENT TO a BLACK. --The Rich
mond Enquirer advocates the erection OF
monument TO the memory OF PeIer Fran
cisco, colored man, born slave IN Viz
ginia, but emancipated at the commence.
mcnt OF the Revolution, and enlisted as a
soldier. He served all through the war, and
was subsequently Sergeant alarms Of the
Virginia Legislature"
The above paragraph has frequently met
our eye within the past few days in different
news papers. We COPY it merely to say
that Mr.. Fraucsco was not "colored
man." os is therein stated. According to
his biogra ply, which We published a short
time since, he knew nothing of his birth or
parentage, but supposed he was born in
Portugal, whence he was stolen when 4
child and carried to Ireland. His earliest
recolections were those OF boyhooi in the
latter country. While yet 4 lad he appreu-
ticed himself TO sea-captain for seven
years, in pay for passage 10 this country
On his arrival his time and services were
soldto DR.. Winston, Of Virginia, in whose
service ne remained until the breaking out
Of the Revolution. Being OF an adyentu-
rous tnrn Of mind, be sought and obtained
permission of his master to Join the army,
and was engaged in active aud effective ser
vice during the whole contest. Such was
his strength and personal bravery that no
enemy could resist him. He welded u
sword the blade of which was five feet in
