We have several times alluded to the
alarm experienced by the Canadians, on the
Occasion of the passage of the little iron
steamer intended to replace the incom-
modious Surveyor, in the service of the
Typographical Engineers engaged in the
exploration of the Lakes. We hear from
one of the officers who came round with
her, an anecdote or two which illustrate
the, anxiety of our neighbors, and reflect
upon them more credit for loyalty than
common sense. 1t was stated by The
Quebec Gazette, on '.good authority" that
the steamer had, concealed IN her hold,
some Paixhan guns of the largest calbre.
Now, aside from the fact that her decks
are totally incompetent to support heavy
guns, she has neither ports for guns Of any
size, nor magazine to contain an ounce Of
powder, and the only GUN or firearm of any
description on board, while passing through
Canada, was onepounder piece, belonging
to the son of an officer. This formidable
piece of ordinance quizzical old sailor on
board represented to the troubled Canadi-
ans as a terrific weapon, and hence their
fears. On her ..rrival at st. Catharines,
the Mayor of the City cafie on board, and
after carefully inspecting the vessel, he re-
questcd as personal favor to be allowed
to inspect her ainfernal machine" The
officers denied any knowledge of such an
apparatus; but the jealous loyalist insisted
upon it that there was on board new
tangled machine for throwing hot water,
and could not be talked out of the belitE

- MORE ACCESSION Conhellsville
Enterprise, published in Fayette County,
brings us the following good tidings.
'sAmong those who have lately annouri-
ced themselves as Fremont q Dayton men,
and now advocate the principles of the Re
publican party, in our town are Alexander
Johnston, Esq, DIR. James Cummings, lester
L. Norton, Esq, and Hon. John Fuller
These gentlemen were the leaders of the
Democratic party in the county. They are
men of much intelligence and experience
men of undoubted democratic faith-men
of the Jeffersonian and Jackson school: and
and aver in declaring their intention to vote
for John G. Fremont that they maintain
the same principles they ever have done, but
that the modern niisiiamed democratic party
has left them. While the community knows
that Mr.. Johnston and Mr.. Norton's inf1u-
ence has been quietly, but forcibly felt in the
spheres in which they both have acted, flor
they are well read and thinking mem it cam
not be denied, that the influence of Messrs.
Cummings and Fuller has been more forei-
bly, felt among the masses, from the fact
that they both have been more active in
the political arena, than any two men we
can name in the county. Mr.. Fuller has
welded an influence over the Democracy
of the county, which was always most Sc
riously felt by his opponents, because he
has been an incessant worker, man who
who has labored hard for the success of the
democratic party, and who now alleges, that
he is battling for the same principles he
formerly did, to wit, those of Jefferson and
jackson. Such accessions as we have above
named are worthy of note, and show the tide
of the thinking and intelligent democracy.

4 very Devll of a Fenow.

The Lirerpoot correspondent of the
Boston DAILY advertiser gives the follow
ing account of new necromancer who has
been astonishing the French, and is coming
10 astonish the Londoners:
ssThe London swclis, ever like the peo-
pie of Athens. craving for some new ex-
eitement, are eagerly anticipating the visit
of Signor Basazoni, a magnetizer of such
extraordinary powers, that the Italians call
him the 4Man Devil,n or the "Detilman," !"
forget exactly which, nor does it matter
much. The Signor, from an extreme dis
lance, OF; from another apartment, can, it
is said, strike senseless any one whom he
selects as his patient-or perhaps / should
say, his victim. He is the first whose
power has been strong enough to stop the
pulsation of the heart. At st. Cloud, in
the presence of the Emperor and a large
circle Of visiters, he performed, the other
day, some of his surprising experiments.
He placed himself at the end of long
gallery in the palace, and upon receiving a
memorandum in writing indicating the
person chosen from among the company
to be an example of his power, outstretched
his hand towards the victim, who instantly
fell as if struck by lightning, stiff and SEN
seless to the floor, and thus remained to
all appearance dead, SO long as the Signor
willed. Another gesture on the part of
the magnetism, and the patient rose, star
ing with ineffable amazement around, and
wondering what the whole thing is about,
staggers to his seat. The most curious
experiment at st. Cloud was made upon a
young Italian singer (fernale) just arrived
from Florence, who was introduced under
the auspices of the Princess Mathilde, and
who sang, with great celat, the andante of
Vaccai's bravurs Ole Romeo" In the
allegro, which follows, the singer was in
the act of executing some particularly bril-
liant passage, when the Emperor, who was
seated at the further end of the room, made
a sign 10 Ragazzoni: The latter stretched
forth his hand towards the lady, when sud-
denly, as if some internal power had seized
her within its grasp, she stopped, with star
ing eyes and mouth wide open. The un-
finished note died away, and after two or
three gulphing efforts, she gazed round in
terror, and then fell forward on the piano
and burst into tears. Her voice was par=
alyzed, and in answer to the kind sohei-
tations of those arotind her not in the Sc
cret, and who thought she was i'll, she could
only point to her throat with a piteoiis ex-
preston of countelance, and shake her
head in despair. At another sign from the
Emperor, Ragazzoni with drew his mag
netic spell, and the cantatrice gave way to
her pent up words in torrents of thanks at
being liberated from so distressing bond
age. She could not be persuaded, how
ever, to finish the pieces"

| Upon this question the n. 7. Herald says
/ Upon Kansas, our modern niggerized
democracy, from Mr.. Buchanan at Wheat
land. and Mr.. Toombs in the United States
Senate, down to all the little organs and
stump orators of the party throughout the
country, are proclaiming that "Fremont is
sectional candidate" and that. 4his cleo
ton will and ought to be the end Of, the
Union.n How sectionall Is his position in
favor of Ksnsas as free State in any de-
gree more sectional than the position Of Mr..
Buchanan in behalf of the admission Of
Kansas as slave State? But we are told
that in his election fifteen States of the
Union will be ignored. How so? The ans
wer. is, "Look at the South-not even a
Fremont electoral ticket in any Southern
State, excepting Kentucky" But We ask
again, Why not? And We are answered"
Because the Fremont abolition party dare
not attempt it-they would be lynched,
tarred and feathered, or hung up on the
first tree, or drummed out of the State !;
and they know it,
Admitting all this to be true, we cannot
see that it proves Fremont to be more a
sectional candidate than Buchanan. On the
other hand, we think it shows the boot to
be upon the other leg; and that the present
Buchanan party of the South is seriously
the most ultra and deplorably sectional party
that has ever existed among us. Mr.. Cobp
of Georgia, and Mr.. Senator Benjamin of
Louisiana, for example-both slave holders,
we believe, and both in favor of the election
of Buchanan and the admission of Kansas
as slave State, and both in favor of seces-
sion and revolution in the event of Ere
mont's .election-have Just been enlighten-
ening the people of Maine on democratic
principles, and on the sectionalism of Fre-
mont and his masses of northern supporters.
Mr.. Cobb and Mr.. Benjamin are free to 90
and speak in this way, in every hole and
corner of the North-free to yilify Fremont,
his party, his platform; his supporters, and
free to preach secession as the democratic
alternative should the will of the people
be against Buchanan; but how is it down
in Georgia or Louisiana? Very likely if
Northern man in Savannah were to mount
the stump for Fremont, he would be stop
ped by the fighting 'demoeraey" of the
place, as Mr.. Brooks stopped the mouth of
Mr.. Sumner in the Senate chamber, and
very likely, if Mr.. Cobb were present he
would not interpose to save the audaeious
intruder from the vengeance of his fellow
citizens. And as with Mr.. Cobb, so with
Mr.. Benjamin. Is not this, then, the real
sectional party-this ultra-despotie, and
sectional democracy of the South, which,
upon Kansas affairs throughout the South,
seals the mouth and the press of the oppos-
ition at the peril of Lynch lawl
