William M. HurxyoII. Eso.

The Washington Sentinel states that the as
sertion of the Enquirer's correspondent that
VIM. M. BurwelI, esq, is inditing the editorials
of that paper is entirely destitute of truth. 1t
says further:
awe do not remember Mr.. Burwells ever
writing a line for the Sentinel since its first
issue to the present time, with the exception of
one editorial, and that containing no abuse Of
the President. Even this editorial was fur
nished without our knowledge of its author at
the time, and was adopted because of our en-
tire concurrence with the sentiments contained
in it. We have not seen Mr.. Burwell since the
Virginia Legislature adjourned, nor have We
had line from him upon any subject"
Since noting the above, we have also re-
ceived letter from Mr.. Burwell, (who is at
his residence in Bedford, instead Of being at
Washington,) in which he assures US that the
Enquirer's correspondent is altogether in error
in imputing to him the authorship Of the ed-
torials in the Sentinel. We allude to the
rumor merely on account Of its spiciness, and
not because we believed it true, or attached any
Importance to it. We correct it, however, with
pleasure.

A Matrimonial Chnse.

A few days since person named Garfield
arrived in this city in pursuit Of his wife, who
had eloped from his home in Fremont, Ohio, in
company with man named Lorenzo ID. Par
kerr BY the help Of Constable Pierce, Of this
city, the husband traced the seducer, on Satur-
day last, to the Eastern Depot, and after pro-
curing disguise, started for Salem in chase
At this city the man was found, and the wife
was seen in his company to enter the Marble
head train The pursuing party also stepped
on board, and so completely was the husband
disguised, that the two parties fell into conver-
sation on the way. Arrived at Marblehead, all
hands put up at the same hotel, and dined and
supped together. In the evening Constable
Pierce procured the assistance Of a Marblehead
officer, and at II o'clock, the whole three made
up a little Surprise party" and visited the
guilty pair in their chamber. The apparition
was so sudden and unexpected, that the man
tainted away, but the woman contented herself
with violent screams. Mr.. Garfield regained
possession Of his child, boy Of ten years, and
with him returned home to Ohio leaving the
woman to follow out her free" love doctrine
with her paramour, when he gets out Of Salem
Jail, where he at present resides.-Bosfor

wonderful ssgscity.

We hear Of an instance Of sagacity practiced
by the elephant attached to Herr Driesbach's
Menagery, which deserves record. Coming into
Newark, Ohio, last Saturday, the elephants
keeper fell in 6t from his horse. The whole
menagerie Immediately came to a halt, and
some members Of the company went forward
to pick up the man. But the elephant would
not allow any person TO approach the lifeless
form Of his keeper. Taking him up with his
trunk, softly he would place him on his horse,
bat finding that the man was senseless, he laid
him on the ground and kept watch over him.
Many members Of the menagerie tried to soothe
the faithful elephant, who had now become
furious at the supposed death Of his master,
but to no purpose, and there the man lay
watched by the sagacious animal. After lying
in this condition for some time, physician,
who was sent for, arrived, yet the faithful ele-
phant would allow no one to approach. AT
length the keeper became 50 far conscious as
to command the elephant to let the physician
come near, and the keeper was properly cared
for--the elephant, all the while, expressing the
utmost anxiety for the sick man.

The Atmospheric Telegraph.

Many persons, in examining the working of
the Atmospheric Telegraph imagine that a
perfect udcuum must be made before the pis
ton, or mail, is allowed to move. This is not
SO. Mr. Richardson proposes only to remove
the air in advance of the piston while it is in
motion, and just as fast as he wishes the mail
to travel. SO that speed of twenty-five, one
hundred, or FIVE hundred miles per hour, de-
pends upon the capacity Of the air pumps, and
the strokes per minute. Another error is, in o
supposed resistance of the atmosphere within
the tube. This error becomes plain upon
moments consideration; for as the piston
moves forward at a rate equal to that with
which the air in front of it is removed, they
bear to each other the same relation that they
would in a state of rest.

The question of change in regard to the
Presidency, limiting Presidential services to
one term, is attracting attention in various
quarters. 1t is reform long talked about, and
its necessity rendered more apparent with each
succeeding year. The proposed change finds
general favor now, as it has for years past,
while the history of the present Administration
has but deepensd the conviction of its pro-
priety. Referring to this question and the
desire for denomination, the New York Daily
NeWs remarks: "If this glittering bait were
taken away, it would create in the Presidential
breast, patriotic desire to do his duty to his
country, and crush in the bud, all plotting for
the succession. Instead of narrowing his views
to his own selfish interests, which, under cir
cumstances, become positively wicked, he would
give his whole attention to the duties of his
great and responsible station. He would then
have leisure to be the impartial ruler of great
people. 1t would confer upon him an inde-
pendence he does not and cannot now possess.
1t would take from him all wish to throw the
apple of discord into the National Convention
for the mere purpose of snatching dishonest
prize in the scramble, just as the thief creates
q confusion for the sake of plunder ."-Rochester
