LIEBIGS LECTURES.
AGAINST MATERIALISM.

MuSICH, Jan. 90 1856.
Prot. Liebeg delivered yesterday his first public
lecture on Animal Chemistry. He avaled himself OF
this occasion to declare from bis position as chemist
and naturalist, his opposition to the widely spread
views of Moeschoti, Vogt Buchner and others, in
favor OF The crudest Materiaism. He eombatted
with dignity and energy the " deniers OF mind and
vital power" and their erroneous theories on pure
scientific Ground He showed the utter impossbility
of ,po1tapeous existence of the lowest connecting
uart of an organism, Of cell or muscular fabric,
and hence how much les the mysterious processes OF
life and thinking could be chemically explained by
change of matter. He proved that the Materialists
of the modern school not able 10 distinguish o.
ganic combinations from those purely chemical.
Nothing be said was more absurd than 70 derive the
of thought and of the viii from the hosphores
cence Of the brain. as Moeschott has done. How
much more material then Of thought would there be
in bones which have 400 times more phosphorus IN
them than in the brain As have learnt that

From the Helena Democrat, May 1. The Know Nothing Candidates.

"A party whose standard bearers THE PEo- PILE choose, rather than party whose leaders are thrust upon THE PEOPLE, by few calcuIat- ing political tradesmen."- ."-NieW, April 26.
 The arrogance of the above Is positively in supportable. It broadly asserts that Knov Notbings aIone are the |" PEOPLE," and that de- mocrats clan of "caculating political trades men," It has beer our desre-and is the wish of the democratic party-to deal as gently as possible with the particular men who constitute the Know Nothing ticket. Waiving all perso nat delinquenciea, in politics, we preferred to rest the issue wholly and solely upon fair dis GU son of the doctrines of the two parties, re- lying proudly on the purity of the democratic creed and on the intelligence of unpr,iud iccd patriots torsuccess. Since, however, the Shield vaunts itself upon the individual virtues of its candidates, and speaks disparagngy of our standard bearers. we will carry the war into Africa, and disSect, one by one, the small-beer politicians of the muato ticket.

 But his greatest feat was in respect to Know Nottingham. Publicly he denounced it, pri- vatey he counseled with democrats as to the best mode to destroy 1t, secretly and in the darkness of midnight he went into its hidden chambers and conspired wilh others againstthe democratic cause. The standard of his party. which had been placed white and spotless, in hs keeping, he stained and befouled with his loathsome Know Nothing fingers.
 Before the democratic association, he declar- cd he had never entered Know Nothing coun- ell and knew not that one existed. The Know Nothlngs who heard him, applauded, yet they and h, k7aeO that what he said was deliberately untrue.
 Afterwards he expressed tears to prominent democrat, that Know Nottingham would be fatal to democracy, and seemed sad and full of grief at the foreboding
 Another democrat was authorized by him fatly to deny that he was a Know Nothing.- At the same tme Dorsey was on his way tn Little Rock, as delegate from the Phillips Know Nothngs.
 Now he is again candidate The Ronoau- ble' W. D. Rice! Is he not fit and suitable champion of the mulatto platform? Let his co-nominees remember the lust canuass and watch Dorsey" closely. As the saying is, he "bears 4 weN"
 Of the muatto would-be Senator we might say more, but he has slipped from the tongs in which we held him. From time to time he shall have other proof of our affection For the present, let him "slide"

GENERAL JAM ES YELL

 vouring levathan of Arkansau waters and o
 the streams adjacent thereto. In the opinion of the rest of mankind--mulattoes eXccpted-- a minnow--a very sardine of politican-- whose sef-lauding tones out-hcllow the bulls of BaShan, but whose political corpus, even under microscope, is lesser and more slimy than the croaking toad of the marshes. With much hunger and thirst, and an incessant crav- ing for spells by night and by day, he came year after year begging crumbs from the demo- cratic table He received them uot--and then, with virtuous indignation, this sublime patriot "left his party for his party's good" and sold himself, boly and brooches, to those whom he had beforetime bitterly reviled. Arkansas Joasts of son of his namc--AkCHIBALD THE GREAT who was a man. He died fighting in the battle rank-his ashes mingle with foreign dust, but hs memory Is unurned in all our hearts. Arkansians blush that the name of their dead warrior Is attached to one now who resembles him in name only--the empty pated pigmy, Jeemes tue Less who fancies that the earth quakes under his tread and that it thunders when he opens his mouth. He, forsooth will break down democracy! Tom Thumbtugging at the pillar of the temple, were an apt illustration.

sengers, many of whom are the employees of the old Transit company. A messenger re- turns Tn the Orizaba with important despatches to the U. s. government.
 Still Further Intelligence.
 The Mobile Tribune of yesterday, has the following despatch dated New York, April 30:
 The steamship Orizaba has just got in from Greytown.
 She brings news confrmatory of the report ed defeat of the Costa Ricans by Walker; but adds that he was compelled to evacuate his vantage ground from want of ammunition. The battle lasted eighteen hours.
 The Transit route was in possession of the Costa Rlcan troops, who had orders to kill every American they could, regardless of age Ur sex.
 Walker was at the head of 1000 Americans and oOO native troops, with which he intended ta attack the enemy at Virgin Bay on the 2Oth
 San Juan, or Greytown, was blockaded by a British frigate, and many homeward bound passengers for the Orzaba were compelled to return.
 The traitor Schessenger had succeeded in escaping from Walkers party who had him in charge and joined the enemy.
 The Orizaba brings intelligence that the Bri- tsh Government has rendered to the Costa Ri cans two thousand stand of arms.

A Family Quarrel.

The Albany Register and the Albany States man, both Know Nothing organs, are now en- gagged in pretty extensive quarrel about the Philadelphia nominations. The Statesman says that the Fillmore ticket was not made to be withdrawn or beaten" To which the Register George Laws paper) replies:
 "Well, what on earth a0as it made for? We can see no other possible use to which 1t can or will be put. It is entirely true that it serves to xemplify the greatest folly and the wick edest treason towards great cause ever perpe- trated by conspiracy of corrupt politicians, but we do not believe it was made for that pur- pose. Maybe it was made to show that a ticket may be in the field that may be sunk by its own intrinsic ponderosity, and therefore can not be said in any proper sense to be 'beaten;' in other words, that it was made to beat itself and not to be beaten - Washington Union

HUGH F. THOMPSON,
OF WASHINGTON COUNTY.

HUGH the son of his father--a sort of pol. tcal illus mulhus, of whom nobody ever heard till hls name was announced on the muatto ticket. We rejoice with exceeding joy that the SLield gives his first name and his middle inl- ta and likewise states his precise locality.- This edifying forethought has saved his future biographer a world of trouble, and will incal- culably serve all who are of an investigating "turn of mind" in the coming canvass. Twill be written, that to Sam a child was born and his name was Hugh! Perhaps, also that a dim star--of fiftieth magnitude jubilant- ly when he saw the light. Moreover, that aOise men went up from the east countries even unto Jacksonport to do him honor. Lastly, that he is the identical Hugh who made "a small 'spe- riment" for Congress in the year of grace fifty six. Some are born great, some achieve great ness, and some have greatness thurst upon them" Some morning, at cock crow, our sub ject-the aforesaid Hugh Twill awake, and be surprised to find himself in one or the other of these pred icaments.
