A New SOUTHERN STArE-The Memphis
Enquirer calls for the formation of new
Southern State out of the Indian Territory
west Of Arkansas, inhabited by the Chloe
laws and Cherokees. 1t says:
awe think such step absolutely necessa,
ry for the protection Of the South. The
Choctaws and Chcrokees are Shareholders
and would add another slaveholdng State tc
the confcdcracy. The treachery Of Buchan-
an has given Kansas to the North Let the
South, before it is too late, create a barrier
against this vandal encroachment, which i,
fast enmeshing us in These Indian tribes
are better citizens, more advanced in the
principles Of our government and laws thcl
the people Of New Mexico, or the mongre
adycnturers from foreign nations, and GU
own who are to makea free State OF Kan
sas."

A QUESTION FOR PHILOSOPHERS Mr.. Editor :
AS was driving young and spirited horse
from the door.yard of neighbor, recently, a
tree, standing by the roadside, about two rods
distant, was struck by lightning, my horse in
simultaneously dropped to the ground but sprang
Immediately to his feet again and started upon
the run. 1t being upgrade, l held him up
readily and soon stopped him--got out Of my
carriage, and took him by the bit. Several
gentlemen were standing in the door yard saw
the horse fall, and came up, and we examined
the horse. Nothing was discoverable, except
that he appeared little frightened The horse
was not what would be termed nervous or
sh'tt'sh animal, but quite the reverse, and after
standing few moments, drove home, two
miles, perfectly quiet, although it was thunder.
ing smartly continually.
What caused the fall of the horse! Was il
fright !! was it the pressure of the atmosphere
was it the jar Of the earth, Or was it stunning
If the latter, how shall we account for so sud
den recovery the fall and rising occupying
perhaps, not more than quarter of minute
and how shall we account for such remarka
BILE effect on the horse, while the driver experi
enced no unusual sensation?

MORE EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING IN CABOT Mp
Ed'tor Freeman AT about hall-past six o.
clock on Saturday, the lst Of Aug. inst, the
lightning struck and set on fire two barns con
tanning about twenty tons Of hay, belonging to

About the same time the house of Mr.. John

STATE DlsUNloN loNvENrIoN.-Tle coW-
mittee Of the State Disunion Convention
which was held ut Worcester, have crcnh-
ted for signatures a call a National DIS
union Convention, to be held at some place
not yet named, i'll October, to consider the
practicability, probability and expectancy of
a separation between the free and the slave
States and to take such other measures as
the condition Of the time may require In
their circular letter accompanying the call,
the committee say:
"From mere politics there is little to be ex-
expected. The slave power has always COM
manded just votes enough to carry its meas
ures, and under our present organization, al
ways will. If the Republican party told
truth, last November, the Presidential cleo
ton transferred the balance Of power, more
than ever to the side of slavery, 1t has
four years OF corruption, conquest and an
nexaton before it, and it remained to be
proved that any merely political combination
can defeat it, On the other hand, the at
titude Of the Republican leaders is now, as
always, oHc VI llHliully anu Coll plOhllSc
They deprecate, with profuse caution, the
charge Of any disposition to interfere with
slavery, as it as and claim the support o.
Southern men, for their nominations, as at
fording undeminished security to slave prop
erty. 1t is evident that the mass of Re
publican voters, in many States, are becom
ing more radically anti-slavery. And moth
ing will do so much to promote that deslra
Bile change, as the fearless discussion we pro
pose. Undoubtedly the first object is tt
create an united and determined North. But
if there is even a chance that the ultimate
result Of that effort is to be Disunion, ever,
one must admit the necessity of being pre-
pared for it."
The circular is signed by Thos. Wentworth
Higginson, Wendell Phillips, +. W. Bird
Daniel Mann and William Lloyd Garrison
