Nav JERSEY L. S. SKsAroRsHIP.-Ther is
world Of caucusing and wire pulling at
Trenton, in regard to the Z. s. Senatorship.
The correspondent Of the Newark Eagle
says
Thompson's road is not so smooth and
clear as he anticipated finding it. Mr.. John
p Stockton numbers several friends in the
Legislature, and what they lack in strength,
they make up in determination and energy.
The first movement Of Thompson's friends,
(fora joint meeting last Thursday,) has re-
suited in failure, and they are SO thorough
ly frightened that they seem disposed to lie
still for while and watch the movement OF
their opponents. In the mean time, the jour
nails in the interest of Mrs r. are active and
loud in preaching up the authority Of King
Caucus, and in dealing out vague threats
against all those who will not submit to hi.
dlctation.

The Charleston Mercury, to prove
the alienation of the northern aud south
ern sections Of the Union from each other,
says;
A member of Congress from the South, be-
loved for his personal qualities, honored for
his talents, distinguished by the confidence
of his constituents and his State, died sud.
denly in Washington. His death Was an
nounced, and his merits commented upon,
eloquently, by several mepbers Of both
Houses. Only q single man from the North,
and he the chosen candidate of the Freesoil.
ers for the Speakership in the House of Rep
resentatives, uttered a word on the occasion,
and that word cold as the Northern Ice
Such is the alliance between the Southern and
Northern Democracy. Such is the founda.
tion of the trust which some among US re.
pose in the National party.

Successful srRTKE.-The Missouri Legis-
lators, impressed with the great value Of
their services, individually and collectively,
70 the state, recently struck for higher wages.
Having the decided advantage OF their EN-
ployers, TIE people, in being entrusted with
power over the parse, they immediately
proceeded 10 render their strike eiee.ual by
lrgtslating themselves i've dollars dav in
stead OF three.
They might just as well have made stem

The astonishing calmness with which the
Chinese see the approach Of death, does not
fail when the last moment arrives. They
expire with the most incompatible tranquil.
ity, without any Of the emotions, the agita-
tions, the agonies, that usually render the
moment Of death so terrific. Their life goes
out gently, like lamp that has no more oil.
1t appears 20 IN that this is to be attributed.

THE NEW CALIFORNIA SESAroRs.-The 81
Louis Democrat says that the new Senators
from California differ in their views on the
Slavery question. They are both Demo
Gratis, but, while Gwin is a regular Douglass
pro-slaveryite, Mr.. Broderick is sincerely OPP
posed to the extension of Slavery and the
continuance of slaveholding domination in
the country. Broderick was an irregular
Democrat in New York, and by the aid of
bis New York tactics, and q faithful squad
of friends who stuck to him, was enabled to
beat Weller and bear down all other Compel
itors.

We got another glimpse At the proceedings
Of the Constitutional Convention by Satur-
DAYS mails. The little we we're permitted
to see, however, was not specially encour-
agingly. After spending some three days
on the question Of judicial salaries, the Con-
vention left the matter where they found 1t,
and concluded not to FIX the salaries in the
Constitution.
That is well enough.
The Convention has decided against allow
ing cities and counties to subscribe to the
stock OF Railroad companies.
After spending vast deal Of time on the
question Of banks, in spirit which seems to
indicate their opinion that wisdom will die
with that Convention, the whole subject was
referred to select committee OF FIVE.
We apprehend that the Convention will
make so many changes in the constitution,
and enter into particulars 80 infinitely as to
secure sufficient strength from different quar-
tiers against the constitution, to ensure It's
defeat before the people.

''First-I leave to my friends and rela-

A GREAT NALURAL CURIosrTY.-Ths
Abingdon (Va.) Virginian, says that
there is natural bridge within sixty.
two miles of that place. in Scott county,
Virginia, compared with which the
bridge over Cedar creek is q mere cir
cumstsnce. The Scott bridge extends
across chasm more than twice eighty
feet in width, and is four hundred and
twenty feet deep. at TIE bottom of which
flows . much larger and more rspid
stream than Cedar creek. The arch Of
the scott bridge is not so perfectly FORM
ed as that of Cedar creek, but It is not
less bridge with . broad wagon road
located upon it. The survey for the
Cumberland Gap railroad passed the
arch of this bridge. It is perhaps the
widest and most stupendous curiosity
in the United States, and yet it is COM
paritively unknown.
