Mg~ The New Workers are determined to
do away with ferry boats between that city
and Brooklyn. Two plans are proposed for
a substitute-qMe is tunnel atrader the East
River, and the other is a bridge OUer it. Both
are pronounced practicable. The bridge, if
built, must stand $50 feet above the water in
order to clear the masts of the largest ships,
and of course must be constructed on the
suspension principle. There is no obstacle to
this plan on%rthe Brooklyn side, as the
"Heights'' afford most excellent starting
point. The difficulty lies on the New York
side, where the"bridge must be suspended
from tower at least 200 feet high, and
carriage wayfeeding to its summit must
start from considerable distance back in the
city. Money and mechanical skill, however,
will devise AWAY to remove all obstacles in
the way of the attainment of any desired end.

A CARD.---Prompted by an honest desire of my
II heart wish to lay before the public, which
deserves high cOmmendation, not only an act of
scientific skill but that Of humanity also. About
two years ago suddenly, and from causes unknown
to me, seized with fit of epilepsy which, owing
to my inability to meet the expenses consequent upon
thorough medical treatment, and the failures which
Imet with on attempting it, soon became such (as
then led to beeve) to defy the skill of ply
sician. l was frequently, while in pursuit of my
calling, thrown down to the ground without the
slightest warning, and although insensble to the
agonieS, yet despsed the miseries of my life and
soon learned to look upon those who would render
assistance shelter me from danger enemies who
sought to prOlOng the misery of my existence. While
in this state, and having previous my aiictiOn tas
ted the sweets of life, once more was induced to
attempt seeking aid of physician, and, by recon-
mendatiOn called upon DR.. l.. J. Czapkay. told him
my circumstances and my inability to reward him for
all his services regardless of which, however, he at
once undertook my case, and with the blessing of
God restored to perfect health. I'm
able to reward him for the boon which enjoy at
present and yet conscious of my Indebtedness. con-
slider it due to myself and to all afflicted to make the
case public in order that those in need of medical
advice may find physician in whom every conf
dence can oe placed .--.-

A REMARKABLE CASE-On the first of
April last, Mr.. Ellis, of Henrietta, New
York. man 20 years of age, attempted to
commit suicide by cutting his throat. but his
object was frustrated. and his case has since
attracted much attention from medical men.
from the fact that for more than thirty DAYS
he could take no food whatever. During the
whole time he had an Unsuitable thirst, and
more than two pals of water were used eve
ry day-a very little finding its way into the
stomach. Nearly the whole quantity passed
out through the wound, which is described by
the Rochester Union as follows
1.-The root of the tongue is divided from
the hyod bone. Windpipe uninjured. The
opening into the pharynx or top of the gull
let has been very large, allowing the wind
pipe to fall about three inches. 1t is now,
however, closing, and tube has been insert
ed for the purpose of introducing food"
For the last twenty-five days the attend
ants have succeeded in getting a very little
nourishment down-soup, &c. Nature is
making strong effort to heal the wound.
and were it not for the advanced age of the
patient, strong hopes might be entertained of
his recovery.

TIE SERVICE AND REwARp.-About

THE SERVICE AND REwARD.-About n

accounts of rough but patriotic California
hunter, who had come all the way from the
auriferous State to Washington, to generously
lay at the feet of the President one famous
buck-horn chair curious, wonderful, UNIQUE.
fantastic and remarkable. Speeches were
made on both sides, and Mr.. Seth Kinman
for that was the valiant hunters name
was voted brick by the democracy, and a
simple bore by the newspapers, that paid five
cents word for the account. But nobody
supposed that this was the latest form Of get.
ting an office, until yesterday, when the tele-
graph again. at five cents word, informed
us that Mr.. Seth Kinman had been appointed
to assist in removing certain Indians on the
Pacific coast, for which he was to receive At
rate of $500 year. As the Indians are
very slow moving animals under such cir
cumstances, it is not unjust to suppose that
1t will take at least four years to remove
them. Thus Mr.. Kinman's buck horn chair
may be set down as worth Ito him) 5000

the surplus slaves of the old slaveholding
States. we find the solution of those rcmarka-
BILE exhibitions of moral insanity upon the
subject of Slavery, which Virginia has furn-
ished for the last twenty years. The Adolf
tionists may have aggravated somewhat the
malady, but they had no hand in its origin
nor are they likely to stay its termination.
Abolish the internal slave trade, and within
ten years Virginia would be as rational upon
the subject of Slavery, and as much in favor
of emancipation as ever heretofore. Let the
fertility of the new Slave States be exhaust
ed, as it soon will be by slave culture, and
let there be no more territory for new slave
marts, and slavery will soon cease to be de-
Tended and cherished at the South as it now
is. Even South Carolina would be forth
with going out of the Union to get rid Of her
burden of unproductive slaves. Discerning
men at the South, especially Virginia politi-
clans understand this: and hence the despe-
ration with which they struggle for the acqui-
sition of Kansas. and with which they will
continue to struggle for every foot of terrific
ry where slavery may spread itself and create
market for the present staple production OF
Virginia and other slavebrceding States.
1t may seem to be an uncharitable judg-
ment, nevertheless we believe the public sen
timent of the South i'll regard to Slavery has
nothing more than pccuniary basis. 1t is
in accordance with human nature that ii
should be so and hence we look for tht
reaceable extinction ofslavery in our country
only when Christianity shall have rcctifed the
moral Judgment of the great body of slave
holders or when the slow but certain retribu
tons of Providence, developed in the exhaust
ed soil and wasted resources of once fcrtil,
and productive States, shall have made il.
continuance burden which they will b,
neither content nor able to bear.

The Crisis at the West.

We have already published articles calling
attention to the crisis impending at the West.
And we believe we are doing the public IA
vor by calling their attention to the following
extracts from the Chicago Journal and Alba-
ny Erening Journal.
The Chicago Journal predicts bankruptcy
for spectators in Western lands. 1t says -
"Such result is inevitable, sooner or la
ter. 1t cannot be otherwise. In the newer
States and Territories lands are held and sold
at almost fabulous prices, and all classes OF
people are wild with the land mania. In
Kansas, disturbed and agitatcd as the Tern
tory is, town lots are sold at hundreds OF dol
lars per foot, and wild lands, scarcely trod by
the foot of civilization, are held at prices very
far above their real value for any practical
use At some promising business points. IN
the more recently organized States, thirty,
fifty. and even one hundred per cent. is offer
ed for money to invest in real estate. 1t is
impossible that such state of things should
long exist. Lands cannot continue to go up
and up, od infnitum. There must be stop
ping place somewhere. and when that is reach
ed, they will drop to their real value for prac-
teal purposes"

ANOTHER ARCTIC EXPEDTrION.-Itis known
that another Arctic expedition, at the expense
of Lady Franklin, is about to start from Eng
land. 1t has been denounced very freely as
foolish exposure of life and waste of proper
ty, but there are facts that go far to justify
Lady Franklin in her determination to
ascertain more certainly the fate of her
husband and his companions. None of the
previous expeditions have searched for him
where he was directed to 90, and where he
probably did go all have gone farther north.
The traces discovered by DIR. Rae were in the
region which Sir John Franklin was directed
to penetrate, but the stories told by the Es-
quimaux are not wholly credible, and they
account for only one third of the Franklin
party.
