laudable interest in the diffusiou Of the
gospel in distant parts, while it remains
oulpably ignorant of, or Indifferent to, the

Tho Ancient Slab from Ninevah
at Middlebury College. ~

Til. .slab 10 of gypsum or plaster, and,
measures s feet high by 7 feet wide
andis about an inch aud three quarters
thick. Tho sculpture is in low :clief.
The principal figure is human, colossal
and furnished with wings. The face and
figure is lofty and imposing. On the
head is rounded cap, tho base of which
is decorated with band and two horns,
curving slightly upward, tho one over
the other In tho ear is a massive ring
to which is attached a pendant, represen.
ting superb antique jewel. The hair
and beard ara arranged with grc,t art e.
The muscles AMI bones Of tho arms, are
strongly marked, and exhibit a knowl.
edge of anatomy. Tho hands are cut
with singular accuracy and beauty. At
the wrists are bracelets of elegant struc.
ture. The garments consist of a robe
fitting closely at tho waist, and descent.
ing thence s.iffly to the knee. It is rich.
ly trimmed with heavy, deep fringe
and its upper edge is surm oun,ed with a
handsome necklace, apparently reprcsen'
ting string of jewels. In belt is
scabbard terminating at tho bottom in
Atassal, and at its top displaying The
handles of ,hreo dsgeers, one Of which
is carved to represent the head of q horse.
In the right hand is held an object re.
sembling closly pine apple, which ap.
pears to be the Offering of a superior to
an. inferior being, and 10 the left hand is
borne a basket or square utensil. The
sculptured figure is surrounded with .
border of scroll work, representing the
sacred vine Of the Assyriaus, richly dec.
GRATED with flowers.
An inscription runs across the slab 10
the cuneiform or arrow. head chara rter,
which is sharply defined and easily dis.
tipguished.
From a close examination and com.
parison Of the inscription, with tho de.
scriptions 10 Layard's last work, wo are
enabled to state with certainty that the
slab came from the oldest palaces of the
Assyrians. The particular variety Of
cuneiform employed upon il has no, been
in use since the conquest of Alexander.
The inscription itself to which there is
as yet no certain Key, shows hosever
according to Col. Rawliusor, the name
of Sardanapalus I. distinctly engraven,
and there is little doubt the palace from
which it was taken, was built either by
him or his near descendants
This King fourishcd, at least, $50
years before Christ. The slab formed
one of the walls of the palace of the
Assyriau Kings, probably more than
three thousand years ago, and has been
eIhumed from the huge Aounds contain
ing tho ruins Of immense cities, on tho
banks of the Tigris, the antiquity Of
wbiChis hid beyond the roach Of History.

A Perpetual Motion Discovered at
Last,

Discovery of u neio Oceanic PoUey.-.
We cheerflly insert the following from
our Cape Cod correspondent, as an en-
dorscment in favor of the Turbine Wa.
ter Wheels" manufactured by the Amer
lean Water Wheel Co. Having exam
mod this wheel, and the principles upon
which its construction is based we can
confidently recommend them to the at
tention of all mill owners, etc, as being
of the greatest Importance.
Mr.. Editor Mr.. a. Warren Agt,
of the American Water Wheel Co Ware.
ham, Mass short time since was cal.
lei upon to visit n gentleman on the Dor.
ders of Cape Cod. relative to construct
ing one of his celebrated Water Wheels
for a mill privilege. On arriving at the
gcntloman's house he enquired where he
could SEQ his mill ? | have no mill, 70.
piled the gentleman, but have power
full pond, (pcinting over the blue Allan
tic) and | have ascertained beyond
doubt that your wheel will run like
duck in back water. and | am satisfied
that your Turbine Water Wheel is the
only wheel on earth by which 1 can OBJ
tain power under tho existing circum
stances. You see I have no water fall
but have any desirable amount Of back
acatc7.
"But my dear sir" replies the other,
"do you expect to obtain power without
any fall Of water ?"
Exactly so, continues tho gentleman
1t is perfectly clear to me Your wheel
first gives tho whole power of the water
by the direct action Of the water, which
is equivalent to tho resistance of back
water. Then you have tho VIII Die power
again. by the reaction ofthe water. There
is twice we get the power. Now after
allowing for the back water, it will give
me a surplus of powar equal to ono half
of the whole power Ct my privilege.
This was easily explained by asking
the gentleman to divide nothing by one.
half Of nothing
After figuring over the matter accor.
ding to his own theory, to his surprise
and Disappointment, the power Of his wa.
ter privilege stood co.
His hopes wore blasted. and he almost
believed that in his previous anticipa,ions
he must have been bordering under Wis.
ionary state of mind. But on close ex.
animation, a small ravine was discovered
where the tide flows in. and with the as.
sistance of small ripping brook and the
wing gate to the dam, poLd was raised
over which he erected a small grist mill.
And to the pleasure and satisfaction OF
the mill owner, Warren's Turbine Water
Wheel is now furnishing power to grind
at very rapid rate. The wheel is sub
merged one-half Of the time to six feet
under water, and he is often seen grind.
ing when there is but ten inches of fall
above tho surface of tho ocean. This
mill.ovncr has since boon the means of
inducing several people in that section TO
adopt the same plan, and all of whom
have witnessed the happicst results. He
further advises for tho interest Of mill
owners and mill-builiers, to apply to A.
Warren, Warcham, Mass, for certificates
drawings, and engravings, (which he will
send them gratis aud they can judge of
the superla,ive merits of this Turbine
Water Wheel.

ma BoRpER S1Avr SrAres-We observe

The BORDER SLAVE STATES.-We observe O
controversy between the Richmond Er4miner
and the New Orleans Delta, growing out ofsome
suggestion made by the Dslta, relative to the
policy Of Virginia in the event Of practical en-
forcensnt Of the colonization scheme, shadowed
forth in the project Of Ell Thayer. The Esami-
nsr ridiculed the apprehensiOus of the Delta,
and repealed the insinuation that We have any
thing to fear from Abolition Emigrant Societies,
to which late number Of the Data responds
in this wise:
THE extreme Southern States have their eyes
upon Marylan Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri.
They are watching With the eyes Of Argus
BORDER atching itaS closely as the Scotch did
tho Gheviot Hills The enemy is looking over
the Border into Dumfries and Roxburgh, and or
ganizing their forces for an early invasion. We
want the Bowlanders and the Highlanders of
Yirginia to buckle ON the Claymore and dehie
along the frontier to the tune:
."Who dare NEEDLE VT met"
1t is to the interest of the whole South, that
not single organized Thaycr band shall ever be
permitted TO cross that frontier; aud when they
do cross it for the netarious purposes set forth
in the Thayer pronunciamento, to reward au-
dacity with the remedy first proposed in the
and grape vine. We shall be glad, indeed, il
we shall not have real cause to hold an Irish
Wake over the collapsed vitality and defrlnct
prosperity of the old Commonwealth , thereby
efiectually caneeIling the sorrows Of volunteer
nonrners."
The Lynchburg RiTginian says:
ut will be seen that there is nm intensely sci.
fish motive at the bottom of the Deltas efforts
to arouse Virginia upon this subject, being no
less than that of selfprcservation. The Data
would have the border States secured as bar
ricade, not only to the Introduction of anti
slavery sentiment, but against the effects ofthat
portentious, Interior event, which it seems to
contemplate as inevitable. Here then Isl dis.
tinct avowal that our geographical position will
| place us at a great disadvantage as compared
with ouraneighboTs farther South, in the event
of absorption of the confcderacy; aud it fur
nishes an impressive lesson which we should
not be slow to learn of the value Of the Union
to US.
Editors and politicians residing in territory three
or four States deep from the border, may talk
ttippantly of dissolution and u Southern cOnfcd-
eracy, whilst they are holding us in reserve as
the 'picquet sentinels' to protect them and their
and lives.
The Uettg also proposes to do what abo-
ntion Statesmen have been aiming at this long
nme-suppTcsS the slave trade between the
states, which it regards as the only means of
preventing the institution from being weakened
m tho border States by the removal of slaves to,
the interior = say - ~
