A Handsome Rebuke-The Adj
mission Of Oregon. r

Senator Brown of. Mississippi, was
very keen and cutting in his remarks
upon the strong Black Republican OPP
position which is being manifested
against the aGmis ion of Oregon into
the Union. 1t is a most significant and
noteworthy circumstances, that while
the Senators and representatives from
the South, casting aside those sectional
considerations which they are So fire
quently charged with possessing, avowed
their intention of voting for measures
which would greatly increase the politi.
cal power of the North, the Black Re-
publicans, who vaunt their exclusive de-
votion to the interest Of the country,
held back and refused to vote for the ad-
mission of two free-States, Minnesota
and Oregon. Senator Brown, of Mis-
sissippi, after he had seer the Northern
Republican opposition to the admission
of Oregon, ~humorousfy said
"If our Republican friends desire to
exclude a free State from the Union, he
would be compelled to 60 with them
1t did not seem to him that he, repre-
sentipg a different interest, should exert
himself particularly to admit a free
State. But if gentlemen on the other
side will say that they are willing to
take Oregon as a free-State, and make
no opposition to it, he did not know but
what he might. get over his little scru-
pies and vote for it but he was not 60
ing to force on himself another free
State. He was not going to beg them
to take another ee-State. If they
asked it, and asked genteelly and clev-
erly, he thought he would let them have
it; but he would not beg them to
take it."

REVERSING THEIR DEcIs1oN.-The
American Tract Society has been dis.
turbed a great deal of late years by the
question of slavery. By a decision OF
the society recently, tracts were author
lied to be issued bearing upon the NOR
al evils and vices of slavery. The pub.
fishing committee did not issue any
such tracts, and at the annual meeting
Oh Thursday in New York the question
came up, should the instructions of last
year be re-afirmed by the Society, or
should they be rescinded ? The meeting
was an immense one, and, after a brill
liant debate, in which DR.. Tying, DR..
Thompson and others spoke in favor of
sustaining the instructions, and DIR. Be
thune, Bishop McIlvaine and others
spoke against them, the society, by a
vote of ten to one, rescindcd the instruc-
tions. The struggle was a desperate one;
but the abolition element in the society
" as foored.

The WooL TRADE.-We have seen q
letter from an extensive wool dealer at
the East, to his agent in this village,
charging many of the producers here
with putting into their feeces old bits of
dead wool by which there is a loss of q
number of ounces on each fl cece. This
practice, if persisted in, will iDjure the
wool trade very much, and, cause all to
suffer, whether guilty or not. Wool
purchased hereshas generally commanded
the full market value, because of its TX
%celient quality and clean fleece; and we
hope our farmers with not be SO short
sighted as to drive purchasers away, by
attempting to cheat in this manner If
they lose a penny a pound on all their
WOOL by attempting to sell a worthless
neece, 1t is not a paying policy.-EIyraa

fFrom the New York papers of Monday.l
We are informedsby Captain Nichols,
of the barque John Howe, arrived at
this port ON Saturday, that the ship
Clarendon, Captain Bartlett, having on
board o cargo of sugar, bound for New
York while lying in the port of Sagua
la Grande, was boarded by q boat from
q British war steamer Buzzard, and the
officer in command Immediately jumped
on board and proceeded to the cabin,
aud commanded Captain B. to hoist his
ensign, which he refused to do, deeming
the whole proceeding as an insult. He
1.-THE %oficer) then demanded his papers,
VIXEN he was told they were at the con-
sul's, and if he knew his business he
certainly was aware of that fact. The
officer then departed, saying he would
report to the commanding officer of the
steamer. 81
Upon refusal of Captain B. to hoist
his ensign, several shots (blank car
tridges) were fred by the steamer, in
order to intimidate Captain Bartlett
and compel him to hoist his ensign,
which be did not do. Captain B. then
noticed that they had lowered away two
of their large boats, each containing
about SO men, with any quantity of
small arms, when he (Capt. b took his
ensign and laid it on the cabin table
Soon after the boats arrived alongside,
and the commander of the steamer in
person came on board, when Capt. B.
received him politely, but protested
against the proceedings, aud would not
allow any of the men to come on board,
threatening to shoot the first hat at
tempted it.
Capt. B. and the British commander
then proceeded to the cabin, when he
(the commander of the steamer) com
manded him to hoist his ensign. He
replied, There it lies upon the table,
and if your commission is worth enough,
hoist it yours, If" The British officer,
pistol in hand, commenced pacing the
cabin, saying that he would seize the
vessel aud take her to the port of New
Y, to which Capt B. replied hat that
was exactly what he wanted him to do /;
when whether by intent or accident,
Capt. b. was struck on the breast by the
hand which held the pistol. Capt. b.
then presented his pistol and said--tSir,
keep your hands off me, or / will shoot
you The officer replied-'I did not
lay my hands on you, when Captain B.
rejoined--'You did, sir The officer
inquired if the sugar on board belonged
to Capt. B. when he replied--'I never
owned a hogshead of sugar in my life
The same question was asked in regard
to the launches, (boats for conveying the
sugar from the shore on board,) and the
same reply given. The officer, com
pletely cowed, proceeded on deck, and
after reaching the deck, 10 a perfect rage
beloved forth-'Lower away the gang
way ladder when Capt. b quietly said
Sir, did y u order that ladder to be
lowered, or did you request it to be
lowered?' when the officer said-.Will
you please have it lowered Capt. b.
then gave orders for it to be done and
the Britisher departed without having
accomplished his purpose.

-fTGTTTNITG AND IT'S CoNDCCToRs.
With the approach Of summer, the atten-
tion of housewares is usually more or
less directed to the best modes of protect
ing buildings from being struck with
lightning. Since the time of Franklin the
properties of and laws that govern cleo
tricity have been made the subject of
study with many of the fra scientific
men of the world, The result of which
has been to obtain much information re-
lative thereto; aud although there are
differences of opinion as to the best pro.
tectoIs, certain first principles are agreed
upon, as that lightning never leaves an
easy line of transit to pass matters out
of that line-that the metals are the
very best conductors; that, all things
considered, copper is the best available
metal for that purpose; that the con-
ductor should be elevated above the
building a distance equal to half the ra-
dius of the circle to be protected; that
its top should be pointed and FURNISHED;
that it should be continuous in its whole
extent, and its lower end pass into the
ground sufficiently far to be always
damp. When these conditions are com
piled with, a building is considered safe,
although instances have occurred where
buildings supposed 10 be we'll protected
by these means have been Destroyed
