PuoToG RAPHY UNDER WATER.-An English.
man by the name of Thompson recently took
very good photograph of the rocks and weeds
at the bottom of Weymouth Bay, in England.
| lie placed his camera obscnra in q box, with
plate glass front aud moveablc shutter, TO be
drawn up rs soon rs the camera had snnk to the
bottom. The apparatus was then let down
from boat, carrying with it the collodion plate,
prepared in the ordinary way. When at the
| bottom, the shutter Of The box was raised and
the plate exposed for n period of ten minutes,

COMPELLING OBED1ENcE.-Jndge Conrad, ex-
Mavor of PHILADELPHIA, who is President OF the
sectional Anti-Fimore Convention, i'll session
in New York, made n speech denounrmg The
South, from which we make the following eX.
tract:
"Shall they (Southern men) tell US that they
will withdraw from the Union? Was The Union
made for them alone! Far from i. If they
are not willing 10 remain in the Union, they
shall remain, nevertheless. Apphuse.] We
have hearts and arms strong enough TO compel
their obedience. Applause. We will not
submit to any dictalion of the kind"
This is the language which tyrants use TO
slaves We thank the speakerfor giving utter
ance with his lips to that which so many others
whisper in their hearts, but which few even of
his own fanaical brotherhood are fools enough
10 embody in words. TO such menace The
the South will not reply il talk. We believe
ourselves strong enough t, resist successfully
this threatened despolisr, but if we are not,
we can have choise Of evils. This is an era
of strange and unexpected alliances, ard as
rrcesoilers are openly avowing their readiness
and ability to subugate the South by force of
arms, the South viii not only be justified, but
it is her boundcn duty, to call to her aid, any
power on the face of the earth, which will be
ablc to help her ,gainst a threatened tyranny,
compared with Which that OF George the Third
was the essence of freedom Richmond Dis
