SECRETARY TOUcEY LEARNS WHAT OAKUN Is
USED FoR.-Mr Toucey, Secretary of the Navy,
on Wednesday paid a visit of inspection to the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, and to all the vessels of
war in port, the workshops, &c. The N. Y.
TriJune says:
Mr. Toucey was very much interested IN the
oakum factory. Seeing large number Of bales
around ,.he inquired what they did with so much
of it. He was told that they made olkum
there for all the Navy Yards in the United
States Mr.. Toucey then desired TO see the
rope manufactory, when he was informed that
the rope and cable for the navy were manufac-
tured in Boston. The Secretary of the Navy
thought that it would be more economical 10
make the rope where the oakum was made
A percsptible smile stole over the faces of some
of the bystandeTs at this remark; but the Ma
val constructor tried to let the Secretary down
easy by saying that they cut the oakum too short
for ropes. The Secretary, howeser, did not
take the hint, but went on 10 inquire what they
used Oakum for After some little explanation
he learned that the principal use of oakum was
to caulk the seams of ships, and that rope, in
stead of being made from oakum, was, when old
aBd otherwise useless, cut up and made INTO
oakum. In the blOck-shop the Secretary re-
marked thst he had seen such work before, in
his own country, where they made wooden
clocks.

State GOvernm ent of Oregon.

The people of Oregon did not wait to know
whether they had been admitted into the Union
OF not before putting on the form and taking
on the offices of State government. AT the
latest dates the news of the failure of Congress
to pass the bill for the admission Of Oregon had
not reached the Capital. The State Legisla-
ture however was in session and had passed
many laws under the State Constitution rati-
fed by the people, the Territorial officers from
the Governor down had reIinquished office, and
Gov. Whitaker was in full possession Of the
Office of State Governor.
Oregon occupies the same position now that
California did in ls49, and will be taken IN at
the next session of Congress beyond doubt
Congress authorized the people to form State
Constitution, and they having done so, will
contend that they are to all intents and pur-
poses, State.
Senators Lane and Smith, and the Represen-
tative elect will no doubt be at Washington
when Congress eonvenes, and demand their
seats They will be likely to get them too be-
fore final adjournment Minnesota formed a
Constitution under the law of Congress and or
ganized as a State before admission, elected
her Representatives and Senators, and then
waited in Washington for months for the door
of the Capitol to be opened to her. Oregon
will do likewise

THE CINCINNATI FUSrTIvE Casa free
"nigger" named Broadly, from Detroit, betrayed
the two slaves recently captured in Cincinnati.
for the consideration, it is reported, of $780, the
reward of his treachery in delivering them into
the clutches Of the O. S. official slave catchers.
When the facts came out, sundry coloIed per-
sons got hold of Broadly and gave him merited
fogging. He also charges that he was robbed
of his blood money" Broadly formerly re-
sided in Cincinnati, and he accompanied the
fugitives from Detroit as their friend. Such
heariIess traitor ought to be ducked in the Ohio
until he is filed too full of mud to float.

The Annual Meeting of the American Board

Cincinnati Gazette states that the reason the
Little Miami declined is, that the Cleveland and
Columbus Road, having been first applied to,
refused, and the compliance of the Little Miami
would have served no purpose without the con
sent of its Northern connections. The Cleye-

Grent Train for the PInius.

Freedoms Champion, published at AtchisOn,
Kansas, thus notices traffic from which Kan
sas is destined to derive important benefits:
The largest train, started by private enter
prise, that ever crossed the Plains, is now out
fitting in this city, at the warehouse of L. c.
Challis 1t will be composed Of 25 mule and
so OK wagons. making los wagons, and requi-
ring 200 mules, 1000 head of cattle, so horses,
225 men, and will carry out 465, $50 lbs. Of as
sorted merchandise This mammoth train is
owned by Messrs. HOckaday, BUR- d Co, who
design establishing chain Of station stores on
the line from Atchison to Salt Lake City, max
ing Atchison the principal depot and oItftting
point. Messrs. Hockaday, Burr & Co. have the
contract for carrying the Salt Lake Mail, and
their design is to locate these stores all along
the mail route. to supply their trains as they
pass, and to furnish the people of the Plains
with merchandise. They will thus avoid the
necessity of carrying supplies with each mail
train, as has heretofore been the custom. Mr..
Hoekaday, the senior partner of the firm, is
now in this city, personally experimenting the
loading Of his goods. The enterpFise he has
undertaken is gigantic one, but will be
great promoter Of civilization and settlement in
in the vast territory west of US.

More OF the Fort Smelling Land Fraud.
1t will be remembered that the Secretary Of
War managed to get of the Fort Smelling Re
servation TO an old suttler and the party specu-
lators behind him, at the low figure OF $4,000,
and subsequent investigation and exposure re-
vealed to the country that the ardent Yirginian
had been participant in the monster plunder
job. The St Louis Democrat gives the follow
ing new item in Mr.. FOrsyth's Fort Smelling
Land transaction. 1t says -
"Without advertisement or notice Of any kind,
$500, 900 worth of property was alienated from
the government, and the equivalent exacted for
it was $4,000. The sale was not only clan
destine, but the price was nominal The par
ties to the contract were National Democrats
exclusively, and after the reservation including
the Fort was sold, some troops were detained
there, and $4,000 month, barrack rent, was
charged to the government by the new proprie-
tors. The $4,000 purchase money, or the
greater part of IT, has thus been discharged"

Company is to run daily passenger train each
way from Cleveland to Chicago, without change
of cars. The new route is direct from Cleve-
land via Crestline TO Chicago. This is good
arrangement and will throw an immense travel
over the road.-OkiO Statesman.

Niaeiy Negroes Arrested for going 70 Sunday
.SchOOL

Frum the hlchm nd lNal D1sfllcns aug -
The arrest of ninety odd negroes, in the
Leigh street Baptist African Church, last Sun
day morning, where they had assembled to re-
eeive inspuctiOns as Sabbath school scholars
has created no little talk in our community, ma
nv iustifying the course pursued by the Mayor,
while others incline to the opinion that he has
transcribed his authority. That the facts may
be properly understood, we lay them before our
readers, as given to US by his Honor. On sun
day. the 18th inst, Lieut.. 1rueheart and watch
man Gilman reported to the Mayor that negroes
were to be seen every Sunday morning, rom
daylight until ten O'Clock, entering the basement
of the church, with books in their hands, the
officers believing that they were there the great
er portion of their time without being under the
supervision of a white person. With tins inior-
nation before him, the Mayor directed the TWO
officers to 90 to that church last Sunday morn
| ing, and if they found that the negroes assem-
bled there were being taught from books, or II
thev found them assembled together, and not
under the immediate supervision Of white per-
sons, to arrest the whole party and bring them
before him The officers, on entering the
basement, found the negroes alone, some with
/ and some without bOOks-the pastor, Rev
T. Lindsay, and perhaps other white persons,
| being in the room abOye-tOOk them INTO Gus
tody, and carried them before the Mayor, by
whom they were reprimanded and discharged.
The Mayor is not at all satisfied that Sabbath
Schools, even where negroes are taught orally,
come under the head of religious worship; and
as he believes that such assemblages lead to
others Of worse character, will not be apt to
yield his opinion, unless Overruled by the Court
of Appeals If oral instruction only is given
in negro Sunday Schools, why are the pupils
supplied with books, or allowed to take them to
the schools Do not the laws Of the State I'M
pose heavy penalties on any person convicted Of
teaching negroes to read and write And were
not those laws passed to prevent negroes from
obtaining education and from doing mischief
with their learning Scarcely week passes
that instruments Of writing, prepared by ne
groes, are not taken from servants in the streets
BY the police.

The importance of primary elections cannot
be overrated, although much has been said

bring out party strength at such times We
have only to repeat-do not neglect them No

do right; no one who wishes to place good men
IN Office, should neglect to attend the primary
meetings They are the pivOts upon which the
actual legal elections turn and their significance
