OF Mr Douglas speech, published m
another column, will be read with great
interest throughout the country. 1t was
the Little Giants last charge upon the
Lecomptonites; and is fully equal to his
previous effort, although at the time Of
its delivery, Mr. Douglas was seriously
indisposed. The papers inform US that
the Senator's appearance in the Cham
Der was greeted with burst Of applause,
and during the delivery of his speech, he
was often interrupted by the plaudits Of
his friends. The Cincinnati Commercial
says of this speech: ain his sneers at
the Government organ, his defiance OF
the Administration, his derision Of ex-
trems Southern doctrines, his unqualifi-
ed declaration OF personal independence
of party, and bis triumphant tone in re-
ferring to the popular sentiment of the
North. he looms up larger and in holder
outline than ever before.

FIRE ESCAPE TyNNEL.-Among numerous
ether inventions, having for their object the
protection of human life, we notice that a
gentleman named Sarnier, of st. Louis, has
contrived 4 sort Of safety tunnel as q resort
or means of ext: from burning buildings. 1t
is coarse canvass tube of sufficient diane
ter, say two and half feet, to admit the pas
sage of one person at o time, and can Of
course be made ofany required length. The
upper end is intended to be fastened with
ropes at the place most convenient to ensure
its success, and by the aid Of twcor more
persons below the tunr el is given such an
inclination or curve as will cfectually guard
against accident in the descent. An expert
ment was made at the Exchange Hotel in
that city, which seems 10 justify the COM
plete success Of the Invention.

sS-Our friends interested in the religious
movement in this city, ask US every day to
give some accounts of the progress OF the
reformation in other cities. Had We the
space, we would gladly do so, but no one,
who does not daily examine the papers from
all points, can form any adequate conception
of the extent Of this religious awakening.-
A friend writing from New York, says that
those out of the city cannot understand the
universal feeling upon the sabject of rcli-
gion. 1t has invaded all classes, converted
printing offices and stores into temples of
worship and turning the thoughts of men n
every vocation into new and unwonted
channel.
The meetings at the different churches
every evening are interesting and solemn
The enquiry meetings for those who are anx-
ious upon the subject of personal religion,
are well attended as ere also the prayer meet
ings. The friends Of the Rev. Mr.. Little of
Madison, will be glad to know that in all
probability he will he in the city this week
and will preach in The Presbyterian churches.

THE MAILs.-Within the last week,
the Eastern mail due here at 10, P. NJ.
has failed twice, by the train on the o.
& NJ. road, falling to arrive at Vincen i.
mes in time. We are glad to learn that
next Thursday the Eastern Mails will
be transferred to the Terre Haute g.
Richmond Road, and we will have no
failures hereafter. The Express Co. has
carried its packages by this route for
more than year past without detention,
except in case of an accident, and we
may expect to receive the mails with
like punctuality. This arrangement
will greatly facilitate the transmission OF
correspondence between this point and
Indianapolis and will be great advan-
tage to business men in this section.

Free State men in Kansas, cannot be un-
dsrsteod-by-thess who are out of the
Territory. As we have often stated, the
Free State men are determined not to
be crushed ont by the miserable Lecomp-
ton faction. All good citizens will dep
ricate any attempt to usurp the Federal
authority, and it is the earnest wish Of
all pai ties in the States that this unfor-
tunate difficulty may be settled without
bloodshed. The passage Of the Lecomp-
ton Constitution, through Congress and
the attempt to enforce it in Kansas, Will
be fraught with terrible consequences.
There are thousands of men that left
comfortable homes in the States to begin
life anew in Kansas, who are waiting to
sacrifice all in defence Of the great prin-
ciple, that the majority shall rule. Well
may Congress hesitate ere it forces. the
issue upon such men. As proof OF
what we say, ne clip the following par
agraph from Free State paper,-the
Crusader. of Freedom,-haylng for its
motto, ''Right. OF. Fight"
Our friends in the North need not distress
themselves about the fate OF Kansas. AGR

ception ofour trading advantages than we

PenitentiGry. Some weeks ago, serious diff

smother prisoner named Downie, threw the
town into an uproar q few days since. A
crowd having collected, they discovered
Downie, hacking his bare, arms and legs with
razor. lie had also got possession Of
stove leg, with which he threatened to knock
out the brains of any man who attempted to
enter his cell. Various methods of securing
lin were suggested, but none were success
full; until, happening to be near the window,
quantity of cayenne pepper was thrown
into his eyes, and thus, while blinded, he was
secured. His wounds were severe but not
dangerous.
