NJ ,urlingame published a very severe
,nd,arcastc card to-day on the course pur-
sd by Mr.. Brooks in the affair of honor, ac-
.eompanied by statement Of Mr.. Campbell,
Of Ohio, the principal points of which is that
Mr.. Buringame assents his willingness to go
to South Carolina to meet Mr. Brooks if
necessary.
A Despatch in the Charleston papers
says
Messrs Burlugame and Campbell are out in
a statement of thee columns OF The affair be-
tween Messrs Brooks and Burlingame. The
tone is moderate, and Mr.. Campbell assumes
all the responsibility of the management OF
the affair, and SAYS that he indicated the time
and place of meeting and that Mr.. Burlin-
game was opposed to the place, and said that
he would meet Mr.. Brooks iu South Carolina
or elsewhere.

A CALIFORNIA CoRoNER.-1be Vigilance
committee, in the course of their investiga-

had arrested, elected satisfactory evidence
that he was in the habit of disintering the
bodies Of persons who bad been buried, for
the purpose of dropping them in the docks,
and thus receiving the fees attending m in.

been made to do service three or four times

bodies, that but little while ago, were found
constantly under the wharves of San Fran

MAKING IT PLEAsAET.-A writer in the
Christian Register expresses the opinion that
"another generation will look upon our GUS
tom of holding church at the hottest hour of
the day in summer MS no less absurd than
we consider our grand parents worshpping
during winter in churches unwarmed." This
writer like a sensible man, wishes to make
the journey to heaven as pleasant as posi-.
BILE, probably because when made so, Il will
prove quite ns attractive to manknd.-
There is double philanthropy, therefore, in
his suggestion.

MAN AND TEAM ATTACKED BY BEEs.-Mr.
S. Hooper, residing near McKissack's Grove,
Iowa, while driving his team was attacked by
bees. They made the attack apparently in
three distinct strings about the size of mans
arm, first attacking the horses One horse, in
endeavoring to extricate himself, broke n
blood vessel and died shortly after; the other
is severely injured They next attacked Mr..
Hooper and those who came to his assistance.
Everything was done that could be to extri-
cate the unfortunate man, but not until Mr..
Hooper and Mr.. Snsher were so severely
injured that but little hope of their recovery
is entertained. The symptoms and sufferings
of the unfortunate men resemble those ct
hydrophobia

WONDERFUL Discovery AT THE MAN.
MOTH CAVE the lllh instant, Stephen
Bishop, the guide, and three students, Rob-
ert Taylor, Cla,ence Bate and VIM. l.. Stone,
while rambling in the cave, discovered m
entirely unknown passage of some miles
length. By this important discovery the
cave, already the largest in the world, is
found TO extend eleven miles instead of nine
miles, as has hitherto been supposed. This
passage was found by the party to lead to
chambers far surprising all those formerly
known; both in extent and magnifccnce.-
1t is supposed that this discovery will lead
to others of still greater importance.-L Lou

tH-A young man once picked up SOW
ereign lying in the road. Ever afterwards
he walked along he kept his eye fixed stead
iy upon the ground in hopes to find anoin,,
sr. And in the course of long life he did
pick up, at different times, goodly number OF
coins, gold and silver. But all these years
while he was looking for them, he saw not
that the heavens were bright above him and
nature beautiful around. He never once al
lowed his eyes to look up from the mud and
filth in which he sought the treasure; and
when he died--a rich old mamie only
knew this fair earth Of ours as a dirty road
in which to pick up money as you walked
along!"

R-"The Democratic party" says the
Louisville Journal, sis everywhere affected
by the Fremont movement precisely as it is
affected by il in Kentucky. 1t is shorn of
its strength and rendered utterly power
less, particularly in the North, where the
foreign vote is the greatest The defeat Of
Mr. Buchanan is fixed fact. His party was
already greatly in the minority in the North,
and this recent detection from IT has been so
immense, so beyond all calculation, that there
is now not the slightest probability that the
vote of a single Northern State will be given
to its candidate"

AND THE CRY IS, STILL THEY CoME.-We
learn from good authority that Edward Ev-
erett, Rufus Choate and Robert e. Winthrop,
Old Line Wings, and the three greatest men
in Massachusetts, or in all New England,
have announced their determination TO take
the field for Fillmore and the Union. Choate
is the author of the glorious sentiment at the
head Of our columns-"We Join ourselves
to no party that does not carry the flag and
keep step to the music of the Union!" OF
course. men entertaining such sentiment
so worthy of being the motto of patriots eve
rywherc--could not but rally to the support
of Fillmore; for he is the only truly nation.
al and conservative Presidential candidate in
the neId--the only one ~i'v -Usrries tiIe
hag and keeps step to the music of the Un-
ion." Filmore's late speeches are acting
like charm, at the North as well as at the
South, recalling men to their allegiance to the
Constitution, and rekindling the old revolu.
tionary fires of pure and selfsacrifcing
patriotism. The accession of three such no.
be Romans as Choate, Everett and Winthrop
will doubtless sweep New England for the
American ticket at the election in November.
Massachusetts will be "wheeled into line" to

FRkMoNT's NoMINATIoN IN EURoPE.-The
English and French journals all have some
thing 10 say, and that, of course, favorably
in relation to Col. Fremont's nomination
for the Presidency. The London Times
after giving President Pierce dig, and re-
ferring TO the slavery question, says:
"If the Americans are, once more, to be
governed by man of eminence, it must be
by soldier or sailor; for il they had any
statesman of eminence, political parties
would not permit a successful choice. This
feeling considered, il seems that, as far as
can yet be known, better choice could
hardly be made than Of Colonel John Charles
Fremont"
In France the nomination is also COM
mended. The "Pays" halls the nomination
of ga man of science" to the exclusion OF
"a political factionist," as an indication of a
better tone in American politics.

B- The New Hampshire Patriot, the
organ of the Buchanan Democracy in that
State, says:
at is foul libel on the Democracy Of New
Hampshire TO saythat they are in favor of the
extension of slavery. Yet the Black Republi.
cans make this charge against us every day,
knowing it to be false"
The Boston Post, the organ Of ihe same
party in Massachusetts characterizes The
charge thus:
at is a slander upon the Democratic party
to say that it is in lavor Of the extension OF
slavery"
How the Southern Democracy will vindi-
cate themselves against the charge made by
the Patrio. and Post, of "libelling" and "slan.
dering' their Northern brethren, is no part Of
our business.

Gr The Republican meeting at Indian
apolis on the 10Th inst, was the largest public
meeting ever assembled in the State. The
number present is estimated at from so 900 to
10000 A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Gazette says:-"The meeting was held in the
State House grounds, and they comprise some
five or six acres, and were literally covered
over with people, so that the only way to
measure them twas by acres.'" In the pro-
cessicn to the State House square was n car
drawn by six white horses, and containing
thirty.two girls dressed in white, with gar
lands around their heads, representing the
thirty one States and Kansas. The inscription
on the car was "Oppositiont to Old Bachelors" !"
Kansas was represented bl fair haired blue
eyed girl, sitting in the eitreme end of the
car, and with her white dress draped with
black Grape.
