THE LATE Mr. WHIRL PooI. OF NoRwAY.-It
is said to have been demonstrated as the result
Of scientific commission detailed for investi-
cations upon the coast of Norway, that the
"Maels!room," or whirlpool, has no cxistence;
at least it is not to be found at the point desg-
mated upon the maps II seems. then, that not
only "large ships and whales" but Edgar A.
Poe and all the rest ofus have been "s,tcfsd in''
by it. What an "opening" for the credulty
and wonder of youth has thus been corked up!
And how much poetic gas must henceforth be
utterly turned Off Poor. credulous. marveling
boys and girls of former generations tour own
as welD have been tdfcn in and done for by
Olncy. Mitchell, and all the other geographers.
But science will yet swallow us all up in the
ever narrowing circle with which she comes the
whirlpool over ignorance and credulity. West
ern lands are sometimes improved to the extent
only of a "hole in the ground"-but Norway
has sold the whole world with her often mapped
but undiscoverable "hole In the acaterv Well.
we hate to think that we have been humbug-
ged, but after all it is pleasant to have such q
big hole plugged up.

the steps which have been taken in Kansas are

be the second State Of the column beginning on
the Gulf with Texas; and Of which the territory

PHENOMENON AT SEA--The, passengers and
crew of the ship Pera, from Southampton, when
approaching Alexandria, on the Sd ult., witness
ed most extraordinary phenomenon from on
board of her. At monday, the sun became al
most Invisible, and dense fog obscured the
armament; the ship with her spars and rigging
were covered with fine powder, which entered
theaears and mouths Of the passengers. causing
the greatest Inconvenience The utmost alarm
wastelt on. board, and some dire calamity was
spprehended. The matches were battened down
and Capt. Soy, the commander of the packet,
turned his head and ran off to sea, gain Dur
ing the time of this almost darkness the wind
blew from the South, and the sea was fright.ul-
ly disturbed Although the Pcra proceeded
forty or fifty miles out to sea again, still the
dense fog prevailed far to seaward. and towards
the coast darkness literally overspread the laud
of Egypt, .It-5 ~
This phenomenon lasted for eight hours, when
the fog cleared away, the wind lulled, and the
sea went down. This extraordinary appearance
was owing to what is called the kbampSeen, or
sand storm, and its extending so far to seais q
most unusual circumstance. From the direc-
ticn of the wind the khampseen must have orig
mated in the Great Sahafa. 1t raises the sand
there in masses which move in spiral figure,
and the heavy particles Of sand soon drop to
the earth, Will, the smaller ones. or the pulver-
lied sand lis carried away to distance. The
people on board the Pera found afterwards the
khampseen had blown down trees, turned over
railway carriages, and forced cattle into the
canal between Alexandria and Carlo. Nv "A

DUTY OF THE OPPOSITION.

The harmonious proceeding with which
the campaign opened on Tuesday. evening,
on the part of those opposed to the patent
democracy, is subject of general congrat-
ulation, and affords strong evidence that
common prudence can do much towards
organizing and bringing into the field
an effective force. Some few things were
said by the speakers that might perhaps
have been as well left unsaid, but as they
We're only their individual opinions, they
must merely be taken as such As a
whole, the meeting, both in numbers and
the standing Of the men who composed it.,
was undoubtedly one that has not often
been equalled, and this fact speaks in sig
nlhcant tones the feeling throughout the
county. Their recommendation to hold
township meetings on the 18th instant, will
we hope be responded to in every district
by the people at large, and delegates cleo
ted who will come here, not bent on having
this man or that man nominated for Office
without regard to the remainder of the
ticket, but with determination to make
choice of those most likely to subserye the
ends in view. For our part, We have but
little preference among those thus far
named, and shall therefore cheerfully sup
port whoever may be fairly nominated -
Such feeling We hope also animates those
who have been announced as candidates-
for as all cannot be elected, and if all should
run and thus divide the opposition, none,
their duty is to submit their claims to a
convention and abide by the result Such
a course is prelude TO success-any other
to defeat.

marriage; but apart from the love of accu-

excited during business hours, he has no
pleasure in life. He does not love the wo-

WILMOT AND PACKER.
PACKER BACKING OUT

Mr.. Wilmot having resigned his judge
ship for the purpose of canvassing the
State, addressed the following letter to the
opposing candidate:
TowANDA, July IA, 1857.
HoN. WIN. F. PACKER:
Dear Sri propose to spend some time,
during the summer and fall, in canvassing
before the people of the State, the principles
and issues involved in the pending State elec
ton.
Party meetings bring out only that portion
Of the people to whom the call is made, and
the addresses are necessarily all On one side,
whereas it is desirable that the whole people,
so far as may be, should have both sides
fairly presented before them at the same time
If it should meet your views, l propose
that we canvass SC much of the State as is
practicable, in company, addressing alternate
ly the same meetings. Should this meet your
assent, please to inform me at your earliest
convenience, so that we may arrange the
times and places of meeting, order Of speak
ing, &C., &c. Very respectfully your obedi-
ent servant, DAVID WILMOT.
To this the following reply was received ::
WTLLIAMsPoRT, Pa, July 27, 1857.
hon. u. w ILMOT:
Dear Sir Your letter of the 18th inst
was duly received and as it proposed a plan
for conducting the Gubernaterial Campaign
which had never hitherto been adopted in
Pennsylvania, and as the interests of other
candidates were involved in the result, / did
not feel at liberty to accede to your PROPOSE
ton without first consulting the State Com
mittee to which the Democratic Convention
has on its part specially confded the control
and management Of the canvass.
You will receive herewith copy of my
letter to the Committee, as also their reply,
by which you will perceive that your sugges-
tion does not meet their approval, and that,
for reasons stated at length, | ought not to
accede to your proposition. 1t is therefore
respectfully declined.
am, yours. truly, WM. T. PACKER.
1t is pretty evident from this note, as
well as Mr.. Buckalew's letter, referred to
by Mr. Packer, that the locofoco leaders
are not at all desirous of bringing the
thinking men and the bone and sinew of
their party under the sound of Judge
Wilmots arguments, bat vastly prefer to
call them together alone, and then under
the cloak of democracy" cover up the
worst features of old federalism and anti
democratic practices diametrically opposed
to the principles of the Declaration of In
dependence and the legislation of the "a
theirs Of our republic.

THE DEED FOR THE SALE OF TRIl
MAIN LINE---BEAUTIFU PIECE
OF WORkMA NSiiIP.

The last act of the drama, says the IIar-
risburg Telegraph of the Both, was finally
executed this morning, by the signature of
\. G. Curtin, Esq, Secretary of the Com
monwealth Of Pennsylvania, to the deed
conveying the Main Line Of Public I'M
provements to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. These Improvements, for which
the State has spent an enormous amount of
money, have finally passed into the hands of
company composed of the best business
men in the State, and it remains to be seen
whether they will be able to manage them
in such manner as will reward the stock
holders for their heavy investments The
State having lost large amounts in their
management, We hope that the company
may meet with better success, and be am
ply repaid for their trouble
The Both day Of July may, therefore, be
hailed as a day Of RELIEF by the taxpayers
of this great State. Their State debt has
virtually been reduced this day the sum
OF SEVEN MILLIONS AND \ HALF OF DOL
LARS; the Pennsylvania railroad having
paid that amount in cash and bonds
to the State Treasurer Of Pennsylvania for
the works, and this money must be applied
Immediately to the reduction of the State
debt-although the company does not pay
the whole amount of the purchase money
in cash, yet they will pay interest on their
bonds, consequently the people will be re-
lieved from the payment Of interest on the
State debt to that amount
The deed as executed is written on parch-
ment in bold and plain hand, handsome
ly bound in Turkey morocco in folio form
The book containing the deed, contains
also, handsomely embellished title page.
decorated with beautiful coat-of-arms and
other suitable devices; the act providing
for the sale Of the Main Line; the procla-
nation of the Governor offering the same
for sale are also bound in the book, and f.
nally the receipts Of the purchase money
and bonds to the amount Of seven millions
and a half, signed by the proper account
ing officers, closes this pleasing drama.
Subsequently the Governor made proc
lamation of the fact, and from and after
Saturday last all the officers on the main
line were in the employ of the Railroad
Company. How long they will remain so
depends on their behaviour, as ineffciency,
neglect, drunkenness, dishonesty, and other
rellcts of State management will no doubt
hereafter meet with a prompt reward in the
shape OF dismissal.
