The DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENoB-A
SEVERE HIT AT CHoATE.-Clark B. Cochrane Z,
Congressman elect from the Schenectady
District, New York, delivered an grafton at
Troy, in that State, the fourth Of last month,
in the cource of which he made the follow
ing keen and pertinent remarks
''The Declaration of Independence is no
flourish of rhetoric. 1t is the joint and genial
product of the solemn sincerity and profound
judgment of the most thoughtful, the most
tried age of the Republic. Vagaries became
not the hour. 1t was matured and announce
ed, amidst scenes of perilous grandeur. The
earth shook with the tread Of invading ar
mics, and the heavens resounded with the
din and death of the conflict. 1t was a period
that tried mems souls. 1t was an age Of self
denial of self sacrifice, of profound convic-
tons, of unselfish and earnest purposes and
it is the distinguished glory of the Fourth of
July, 1776, that the cardinal truth in the
whole logic of human rights, without circum-
location or useless ornament, first found ma.
tlonal expression and embodiment in the
Declaration 3oiI independence. He aoho at that
day had 0entu-ed publicly to deaounce that an
Strunaent as mere "Sousd,ag end gIitterjaeg
generGIities," aoould haze had 5ut one place of
SGfety--a retreat behind the British lines"
Rufus Choate, with all his eloquence and
legal ability, can never wipe out, nor outhve
the most unfortunate expression in his letter,
last year, to the Straight Wings of Maine.

We gather following particulars of the great
race for the Goodwood cup, from the Liverpool
papers. None of the accounts at hand give the
time of any of the horses. The French horse
Monarque, won the race. The English horse, Ris-
cher, was second, and Fisherman third. Gunboat
slipped and fell, and Keetrel and Comma di Yer
gy also fell heavily. Monarque won by head,
and Riseber beat Fishermen by about three
lengths. Auton was fourth and was three lengths
behind Fisherman. The American Horses, Pryor
and Pryoress,w were fifth and sixth, and the English
horse, Melissa, seventh. All the others pulled up.
The race is said to have been the most exciting
ever witnessed. The English papers remark,
without assigning any reason, that the American
horses would have figured more prominently had
they been ridden by English jockeys.

DEATH ON THE RAILROAD. Mr.. B.
Gardner, Conductor on the Stonington Rail
road informs us that just after the accommo-
daton train left East Greenwich, Tuesday
afternoon, for Providence, the engineer dis
covered a woman and boy standing on the
side of the road, and as they approached, the
woman jumped on the track Immediately in
front of the locomotive. The train was i'm.
mediately stopped and run back, when the
woman was found dead. where she had been
knocked down the embankment. She was
but slightly bruised, ard her death must have
been instantaneous. Her name had not been
ascertained when the train left, but she was
supposed to be crazy woman who had stray
away from the Poor House. She was appar-
entity abou. fifty years of age. The boy who
was holding her when the train approached,
was trying to persuade her to leave the place,
as she told him she intended to jump on to
the cars; but rs they came near, she struck
him blow, broke away, and made the fatal
leap Providence Journal

SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE IN bYNCHBURG, VA
On the 3lst ult, an old Methodist Church
in Lynchburg Va.,w the scene of a shame
full outrage. The Courier, of that place thus
notices it:
sit appears that, on Sunday night last, a
sacrilegious wretch managed to obtain access
to the gas meter and let off all the water I;
the consequence was that the gas, soon went
out, leaving the church in total darkness.
Then it was that the same wretch, together
with accomplices, scattered many pounds of
finely pooaered pepper on the floor, benches
railing and etsephere The house was dense
ly crowded and after the gas was lighted
again, and while the preacher was in the
midst of a stirring appeal to the conseiences
Of his hearers, the ladies commenced to ply
their funsl and the persons standing in the
aisle to move about to get little fresh air.
This reused mp the powdered pepper, and
started the whole congregation to coffing and
sneezing at a rate so terrible as to put speedy
stop to the services. Unable to endure their
sutferngs, many of the congregation rose up
and made for the door. The door could not be
opened There acre a0retohes outside holding
Them Nth ropes How long this state OF
things lasted we are not told; what the con-
sequences must have been, we leave TO be
imagined"

IMPORTANT ADMISSION Orr of South
Carolina, who has lately been on political mis-
sion to Kanzas, states in the Southern papers,
that although the South has contributed huge
amounts of money, it has failed in Kanzas for
the lack of men. He makes the Free State voters
in Kanzas II ,OOO to 5000 pro slavery. The last
is evidently an over estimate, as they did not cas-
1000 at the constitutional election This state
ment is important as an admission, on high Dem
ocratic authority, that the government of Kanzas
is sheer usurpation and fraud,
