Lord Bacon taught us that the best mode
of acquiring a knowledge of the secrets of
Nature was to ask her questions, with .
humble, diligent. teachable spirit. Three
score vears and ten have been devoted to the
INQUIRIES, Why does amber, when rubbed,
draw light feathers to itself? Why does the
magnet attract iron and point to the poles |?
why should a dead frog be apparently
brought again to life for an instant, il, when
one metal touches a nerve and another q
muscle, these two metals be united TO q
third? The answers to these three ques-
tions have reduced all three phenomena to
the action Of one single cause. All lead to
the subtle spirit or power wo call Electrici-
ty. Though as yet we know not what this
electricity is, we have learnt to tame it. 1t
is the spirit of the storm. We see it in tn.
lightning; we hear it in the thunder. We
make it our Vulcan, to eliminate metals from
the earth which swim on water. We cause
it to rend rocks asunder. 1t is the slave Of
the metallurgist. We make it reduce the
works of an age into instantaneous ruin. 1t
has crumblsd Russia's proudest engineering
triumph into dust, with the resistless power
Of the thunderbolt; and now It'll our Mercu-
ry, to carry winged messages from tho New
World to the Old with lightning speed.

Important Movement of the old wb,.,.


At late hour last night we received the
following letter, signed numerously by the
old Wings Of the Sd Congressional district.
and addressed to the Hon. Churchill Csf.
fing, Of Peru, inviting him to become can
didate for Congress, and his response there
to. We are requested to give the CORES.
pondence place in this paper; and ~ all
the names appended to the call will be rec.
ognlzed as among the best citizens OF llli-
nois; as Mr.. Coffing is himself a gentleman
of COOK rank as to ability and position-ws
acceed with pleasure to the request. On the
hasty perusal We have been able to give this
correspondence, We cannot express an opin.
ion Of it, and under the circumstances. our
opinion is not called for. However, If the
candidacy of Mr.. Coffin will help to defeat
Lovejoy, the present representative from
the third district, and by the means Of cleo.
ting himself or some other man of national
conservative views, this movement Of tho
old wings shall have our sympathy and
whatever of aid we can CONSISTENCY give it.
Below is the correspondence.
Hon. CHURCHILL CoFFINo, or PEBU,
DEAR SIR:-While we are for keeping the
territories Of the nation, SO long as they re-
main territories, free from the invasion OF
slavery-still we are not abolitionists. We
are for leaving the subject of slavery in the
states where it exists, to be regulated BY
the people OF each state as they think pro-
per, and that too without unweicome inter.
ference from abroad in any manner whatsv.
er. We believe the Hon. Owen Lovejoy 10
not true type the sentiment Of this dis
trict in that regard. Recognizing in you as
an old line Whig-a reliable exponent of the
conservative doctrine on this subject of all
reasonable Republicans, We request you to
permit your name to be used as ar isde.

falling timbers. while many bodies were torn in

Prom the Exiles Of Florida.
DESTRUCTION OF BLOUNT'S FORT.

In the spring of 1915, Colonel Nichols and his
troops Withdrew from Florida. leaving the fort,
with its entire armament and magazine, OF milf
tary stores in the possession of the Exles who re
sided in the vicinity. Their plantations extended
along the river several miles, above and below
the fort Many of them possessed large herds of
cattle and horses, which roamed in the forests
gathering food, both summer and winter, without
expense or trouble to their owners.
The Pioneer E4iies from South Carolina had
settled here long before the Colony of Georgia
existed. Several generations had lived to man
hood and died in those forest homes, To their de
cendants it had become consecrated by many an
oft told tale" Of early adventure, or hardship and
suffering; the recollection of which had been re-
tanned in tradition told in story, and sung IN their
rude lays Here were the graves of their ances'
tors, around whose memories were clustered the
fondest recollectons of the human mind. The
climate was genial. They were surrounded by
extensive forests, and far removed from the habi'
tations of those enemies of freedom who sought to
enslave them, and they regarded themselves as Sc
cure in the enjoyment of liberty. Shut out from
the cares and strifes of more civilized men, they
were happy in their own social solitude. so lar
from seeking to injure the people of the United
States, they were only anxious TO be exempt. and
entirely free from all contact with our population
or Government; while they faithfully maintained
their allegiance to the Spanish crown.
On the morning of the twenty seventh, Looms,
with his DUute, dSCtIueu tHe river uhu Otot
opposite the fort, while Colonel Clinch and The
Greek Indians took positions so as TO cut off re-
treat by land. The cannonade was resumed, and
the land and naval forces of the United States
were engaged in throwing shct and shells for the
purpose of numbering those riendless Exiles those
women and children, who had committed no Other
offence than that OF having been born of parents
who. n century previously, had been held in bond
age. Mothers and children now shrieked with
terror as the roar of cannon, the whstng o.
balls, the explosion of shells, the warwhoops o.
the savages the groans of the wounded and dying
foretold the sad fate which awaited them. The
stout hearted old men cheered aud encouraged
their friends. declaring that death would be pre-
ierred to slavery.
The struggle, however, was not protracted-
The cannon balls not taking effect upon the EN-
bankments Of earth, they prepared their furnace
and commenced the fire Of hot shot, directed a

though there may be more honeyed music in the

our voices may be of some service yet.
What | fear in the anti slavery movement and
what have long feared, is, that we shall mistake
the genius of the movement and allow ourselves
to be captivated by fair appearances, by specious
promises, and by outside indications of n better
tone of anti-slavery than actually exists. We have
stood on the platform many years to denounce a
spurious Democracy and still more spurious Re-
ligion and the ears of the people have become ac
customed to these denuncaions, an it costs moth
ing now Of reputation to denOunce either Democ
racy on the one hand, or the popular Religion on
the other. But still the work of anti slavery has
to be done in the face and eyes of a fiery oppos
tion, and that opposition will manifest itself in
proportion as we are faithful. 1t would be easy
for us now to cry Peace, and to 'prophesy smooth
things but the result would be fatal to our enter

OUTBREAK IN New ORLEAEs.-It seems that the
people of New Orleans driven to extremes by Know
Nothing msrule, have determined to work refor-
nation in their municipal affairs Outrages by ruff
fans were UNPUBLISHED by the City authorities, and
as last resort the respectable citizens of the City
formed a vigilance committee. For some days last
week there was prospect of bloodshed; but the
K. N. mayor and his adherents at length gave in,
and the citizens have obtained bloodless victory.
Peace and order now reign there.
