pleasant to the patient, and much more eff
icctual in removing Scrolula, Rheumatism,

WASHINGTON, Feb. lS.-Mr. Hickman
from the Com. on elections offered u resolu
ton empowering, the CON- to send for per.
sons and papers in the Kansas contested e.
lection case. Mr.. Phelps thought that the
exercise of such form would be an insur'
rection as VIM. Reeder does not claim that
he was elected by virtue Of the laws passed
by the Kansas Legislature. He defended
his constituents from the charge Of being
Border Rufian which had been reported here
and elsewhere and by the Senator Wilson
who comes from a state where men war or
deienseless women and burned ursuline con
vents. He earnestly condemned the Anti
Slavery men in Kansas and claimed tha
the Missourians desire not the shedding o.
blood but to sustain the laws.
Mr.. Washbourne of Main regretted that
Mr.. Philips had INDUCED in such remarks
which were exceedingly exciting not to say
inflammatory. A large majority Of the peo'
pie of this country believe in their hearts
that there was no legislature of Kansas, nc
law and nothing under which the election
had been held by which Mr.. Whitfield claims
his seat delegate. This matter should be
investigated and he asked him could il be
done unless powersto send for persona ane
papers was granted. sa

A New Continent.


The coral reefs of the Pacific Ocean have
been, in part, measured, and are found to be
of amazing extent, and a new continent is
in process OF formation. All the labor is ac-
complished by zoophytes--insects; and if we
wish to form some conception of their do
ings, we have but to remember that the CO.
raj formations of the Pacific occupy an area
of four or five thousand miles, and to imagine
what picture the ocean would present were
it suddenly drained. We should walk amid
huge mounds which had been cased and cap
ped with the stone these animals had secre-
ted. Prodigious cones would rise from the
ground, all towering to the same altitude,
rejecting the light OF the sun from :heir white
SUBMITS with dazzling intensity. Here and
there we should see huge platform, once
an island, whose peaks as they sank were
clothed in coral, and then prolonged upwards
until they rose before us like the columns OF
some huge temple which had been commen-
ced by the Anakins of an antediluvian
world. Champollion has said of the Egyp-
tian edfces, that they seemed to have been
designed by men fifty feet high Here,
wandering among these strange monuments
we might fancy that beings one hundred yds.
in stature had been planting the pillars Of
some colossal city they had never lived to
complete. The builders we're worms, the
quarry whence they dug their masonry, the
crystal wave. In the event of this vast ex-
tent of coral reef being upheaved, where or
whence will the waters Of the Pacific recede!
Either the western shores of the American
continent, and away to the base of the Rocky
Mountains will be submerged, or the shores
of the opposite Asia, for innumerable ages
the cradle of mans development and civili-
cation, will sink into the great abyss; and
the ships of the inhabitants of this globe
when it adds ten thousand years to its age
will sail over and find no soundngs where
millions to-day toll in unresisting servitude,
and where cities from gorgeous cupoas and
storied palaces fling back the rays of the ri-
sing and declinig sum- Y. Herald.
