iHE Total OF JONES DEFEAT.-A
Washington correspondent Of the Ne W
York Courier and Enquircr, writes:
l look upon the rejection of Mr.. Jones
as an advent great moment in another
respect 1t marks the beginning of the
regeneration of Pennsylvania and,
greater still, it shows that the work of
emancipating the noble German mind in
the United States from the seryitude of
catchwords, from devotion to African
slavery, and from the tyranny of sham
Democracy, has gone so far as to over
throw those influences in their very cita.
del. Let the Germans of Illinois and the
Great West remember in all future con-
flicts, that the most ancient seat of Ger
man power on this Continent has yielded
to the force of truth, and has spurned
slavery and the leaders of the servile De-
mocracy. This is the moral drawn from
the defeat Of ]. Clancy Jones.

Considering the probable increase in
pauper expenses the addition of the
County Superintendent's salary, $500 /;
the erection Of the jail; the finishing up
and furnishing Of the Court House the
additional expense incurred in printing
the laws and paying bounties for wolf
scalps; and the necessity of providing
new books for the Recorder and Clerk-a
decrease ofnearly 81, 500 from last year s
expense, seems to us as much as any tax
payer can reasonably ask---certainly as
much as could Justly be made. The OBJ
ject Of the county officers was to assess
enough, and only enough, to carry on
the government economically, and yet
have the county free from debt at the
end of the fiscal year. so that men who
perform work for the county will not be
compelled TO submit to shave Of from
ten to twenty per cent. upon warrants re-
ceived for their labor. AS we said be-
fore, repeated consultations were held by
the Judge, Treasurer and Clerk, for the
purpose of determining this matter Of
assessment They had every incentive
to bring it down to the lowest possible
point, and did 80. There are no men
more honest, no public servants more
careful of the interests entrusted to them,
than these>men, and certainly there are
no men whose experience, knowledge,
and judgment, better fit them for the task
of determining what is requisite for the
proper conduct of the affairs of the coun-
ty.a We believe they have done justice
to their constituents, done precisely what,
as faithful and intelligent public servants,
they should have done and all the stu
pid assumptions and contemplate insin-
uations of the Eagle, or its office seeking
correspondent, reiterated by its new
fledged toady, the Civilian, can avail no.
thing against them.

The GULF SrREAM.-The deep sea
soundings of Lieut.. Bergman have done
much to confirm a previous theory as to
the cause, or one of the causes, of the
Gulf Stream. 1t is ascertained that, at
a depth oftwo thousand feet, in the straits
OF Florida, the temperature of the ocean
is only three degrees above freezing,
while in the deep soundings on the tele-
graph route it is found that the tempera-
ture is ten to fifteen degrees below the
freezing point. Hence, according to well
known laws, the comparatively warm and
light waters of the gulf, made lighter by
the masses of fresh water from the Mis-
sissippi and other rivers, rise and flow
off towards the colder regions of the north
AT the same time, the denser waters of
the northern Atlantic make their way
southwark to restore the equilibrium
Thus there are two currents, an upper
and an under, flowing in contrary direc-
tons. The upper is apparent, and well
known as the Gulf Stream. The under is
frequently demonstrated. by the fact of
immense icebergs, reaching down thous-
ans Of feet below the surface ofthe ocean,
being seen floating southwark against the
surface current.
