UNITED STATES REVIEW & STATE
RIGHTS REGISTER.
TN CONNECTION with the usual matter,
l. political and literary, contained in the UNI.
TED STATES REVIEW, we intend to rcpublish all
the state papers eXtant on the question of state
rights as announced in the Virginia Resolutions
Of '98 and 100. The publication will embrace
also the works of standard writers, such as
John Taylor of Caroline, whose works are now
nearly out Of print These valuable political
petcd, will furnish a complete constitutional
history of our Federal Union. The subscrip-
ton list Of the Statc-Rights Register" (the
prospectus of which was issued under the ap.
probation Of the Democratic members and
senator's in congrcss) will be furnished regular
ly with the Rfriep from this date. and we hope
each subscriber will feel that he is performing
n duty to great and sacred political principle
by extending the list of names already on our
books.
1t is time for us to 60 60 back to those pure
principles upon which the great fabric of de-
mocracy rests; principles originated and defined
by those who created, and best understood the
true meaning Of the constitution. 1t is time
that the friends Of state sovereignty should raj
ly around some common nucleus, to resist the
wild latitudinarianism Of the age, and evident
tendency of the republic towards concentration
to end at best in a mixed monarchy. II is
time for each states-rights man to feel that he
must give his own personal individual influence
to the defense of the very cornerstone of our
constitutional government.
| We send the Review to the subscribers of
the Statc-Rghts Register, and feel confident
that they will respond heartily to the call.
The true Democracy have great battle to
fight, great principle of selfgovernment to
uphold, an inspired Constitution to defend.
May each one of us feel that it is AN individual
duty.

Mike Walsh.

The Louisville Journal in noticing the fact
that the Hon. A. H. Stephens in late
speech at Griffin, Ga called for three cheers
for Mike Walsh and they were given from
four thousand throats, tells the following an
ecdote of Mike, who, as the Journal says, has
certainly been true to the south, and with all
his errors, has always acted as an honest man
and a patriot
We first saw him nearly twenty years ago,
when he wasn't more than twenty-one years
old. He came into our Office in an old suit
of clothes, muddy from head to foot, took a
dollar from his pocket, which he said was all
the money he had in the world, and offered
it to US TO pay for advertising a scoundre,
who on his way up the river had stolen every
thing belonging to him. We couldn't take
the poor fellows dollar but we published his
advertisement We had forgotten the cir
cumstance until he recalled it TO our mind, in
the presence of some of his congressional col
leagues last winter.
IL seems that Mike was coming up the river
with few hard earned dollars in his fob,
when fellow, who claimed to be a son of q
clergyman in this city got into the kind-heart-
ed Youths good graces by representing him
Htl W Dt clNh uthclil NteAluAt' A'tihS
put him into his own state-room, gave him
part of his money, and took care of him.
When the boat stopped at a landing, the in
valid professed terrible desire for milk, and
begged Mike to go to house half a mile off
and obtain some for him. Mike demurred,
saving that the boat would leave him. But
the fellow made such piteous appeals to him.
that he went and the boat left him sure
enough whereupon the invalid, recovering
suddenly, took possession of Mixes trunk and
all his worldly possessions except what he
carried upon his back in his excursion after
the milk. Mike went TO work chopping wood
till he got enough to bring him TO Louisville,
and on arriving here, found, as he expected
that his customer was unknown in these parts.
Without farthing about him, he went to
shoyeng in the earal, and the first dollar he
made there was the one he brought to us. lie
toiled in the mud till he made enough to take
him to Cleveland on his way home, and there
he met in the street the chap that had swim
died him. The swinder ran like deer, but
Mike pursued him like greyhound, caught
him, and tbrashed him before any one could
interfere Mike was sent to Jail for the as
sault and battery, and his victim was sent to
the Penitentiary.

Extraordinary Flying-Machine.

The following curious and interesting state
ment appears in the Paris Pdfric. The age
of wonder is not over yet -
"The Academy of Science is good deal
interested by the invention of new flying
machine by Don Diego de Salamanca With
this machine, Don Diego's daughter, Rosan-
ma, rose in the air sometime ago, at Madrid,
TO the great astonshment Of the Spaniards
who are but little accustomed to this sort of a
miracle Don Diego and his daughter are
about to arrive at Paris to show the effect of
his marvellous invention. The machine is very
simple it consists of case two feet long,
and one foot wide, adapted to band OF leath
er around the waist, bucked behind The
two iron rods fastened to the case support a
small piece of wood. on which the feet repose.
The case contains simple and ingenious me
chanism, similar to that employed in the au-
tomaton in motion The mechanism is work
ed by means of handle 1t sets in motion
two large wings, ten feet long, made OF very
thin caoutchouc. covered with leather and
the wings may be so worked as to procure
vertical. perpendicular, or horizontal flying.
The number of turns given to the handle
determine the height to which it is desired
to go.
"The handle has to be turned every quar-
ter of league to regulate the distance the
operations of turning lasts minute. Hori-
zontal flying is the most difficult. The wings
beat the air like the oars of boat or rather
as the foot of swan when it swims. BY
means of this curious machine a man can go
almost as rapidly as carrier pigeon-from
the Hotel de Vile to the Arcade Triumphe
de rEtoile in eight minutes, and in half an
hour to Versailles. Although greatly aston
ished at this new invention, several members
of the Academy have pointed out the incon-
yenience of bringing it into general use. In
point of fact there will be no security for any
one. if by the aid Of such machines all our
usages and customs be oyerthrown, and if
malefactors can fly on the roofs of houses, and
afterwards get into apartments, and commit
all sorts of depredations. 1t will be very Gu
rous to see policemen in France and England
pursuing thieves in the air in order to lock
them up on earth. ltappearS that 1855 pro
misses all sorts of marvels."

that an Eastern collector had stopped at Day

Will Young Bullion ever be Rich!


II has become very much the fashion, now
a-days, to say, e" Oh, young Bullion will be
rich when his father dies :" and to understand
thereby, that young Bullion is sure to be rich

Old Bullion takes a glass of brandy and
water, and don't eat anything before going to

hours, and drinks champagne, champagne

Old Bullion goes down to the Bank in an

ADvERrIsIxG.-Few people seem to be
aware Of the benefit of thorough and system
attic advertising. But when man or firm
does become convinced of its advantages aud
makes determined use of the knowledge, a
fortune is sure to follow. The Townsends and
Brandreth of New York, Swayne, Sharpess,
and JAYNE of Philadelphia, and coming nearer
home, Crocler Bros, of this city, are cases
in point All of these men have become in
dependently rich by free use of the power
of the press, notwithstanding their advertising
bills are almost fabulous. Yet they do not
compare with the amounts devoted to the
same purpose by energetic Englishmen Eve
rybody has heard of the immense fortunes pos
sessed by Prof Holloway; Moses & Sons
Rowland 4 CO. De Jough Heal 4 Sons,
and Nichols, the famous London advertisers.
But everybody has not heard of the enormous
sums they annually pay to the newspapers to
keep and increase the business that made their
riches. An article in late number of the
London Quarterly states that Prof. Halloway
annually pays $4,000 for advertising his
patent medicines, and that Moses d Sons,
Rowland Il Co., and DIR. De Jough each ex-
pend $50, 900 per year in making their re-
respective locations and business known to
the public. Heal Il Sons, dealers IN bedsteads
and bedding, pay $50, 600, and Nichols, the
tailor s22 500 Such expenditures to the
uninitiated, appear frightful, yet these men
have been for increasing both the amount of
their advertising and of their business. They
have tried the experiment and know the re-
suit Every dollar they say, which they ex-
pend in giving publicity to their goods and
wares returns to them increased five or tenfold.
Consequently they are not niggardly in the
outlay.

to comment on the scenes that open to our
view. They are matters Of fact, and afford
food for much profitable reflection, which we
are compelled to forego James was not a
ravmg maniac, but he was desperate Strong
drink refused longer to do its office. He
drank all the time, yet he was sustained by
an excitement far greater than that sought
for in the cup. In the darkest hour, how
seFer-amid all his misfortunes-he never
|hegected his poor old mother, and was reg
ularly at her bedside with a solicitude in
which all his pecuniary troubles seemed to be
lost She, to his great delight, gradually
mended and soon announced with her own
lips the disappearance of all her former
symptoms
Well, my child" said she one evening,
" | am glad shall soon be able to travel
| see my situation has given you much pain "
James spoke not, but heavy tears gathered
in his eyes. He took his mothers hand, gave
her an aflectionate kiss, and then disappeared
in the streets.
The next moment he was at the gambling
table, and the next hour it was not in his
power to give a check for more than ten dol
lars He continued to bet, and finally lost
all-no, not all, for with one solitary dollar
he arose from the table, and saught the bed
side of his mother. He was with her but a
moment. The next found him back at the
gaming tabls lie threw down his last dol
lar, with the words: ''sais is all of my 500,
000-take it." He won-again he won
and again. He seemed to win as he had
lost all the time. His betting was the inter-
est of the night. Still he bet-bet reckless
ly Thousands came into his hand, and thou
sands still he bet Once more did he win
and again and againl Two hours found
James Lander in possession of trenty.fre
