Wonders in Art.

Wesaw an account, a few days since, of speci- men ofcompressea writing which exceeds any thing we ever read of In a square of about the size of the black lead in a common wooden lead d-pencil, was written the Declaration of h. dependence with the fac-similes of the sigma lures of the signers thereto. To the naked eye it presents dark spot unevenly colored, but, when masnifed, the lines were seen to be straight with every word and letter neat and distinct
 Photographers now can take copies of anyin- strument of writing, and can reduce the size of the copy at pleasure. Thus. it is possible to copy long dispatch or important letter in very small space. h ancient times great many expedielts were resorted to keep dis patches from orto acommander of an army from falling into the hands of the enemy Men were shaved, their scalps written over and the hair suffered to grow. But this was tedious. Let ters were sewed in garments, carried in hollow canes or statfs and, in various ways, concealed about the person. All this difficulty can be o6vlated now by having the dispatch copied or photographed in a small space, say as large as a half dime. This could be easily concealed pr # necessary, destroyed. Upon its reception by the person for whom it was intended, by being placed under maguifying glass, it could be easily read.
 There is another suggestion. What capi- tai way it would be to deliver love-letters!- Think mother, of letter being given to your daughter concealed in a cherry or strawberry While volumes might be written on an inch square; declarations, vows, protestations, plans of elopement and heaven knows what all might pass before your very eyes, concealed in a peach stone, an almond or raisin. The remedy would be to keep the girls from having magni- flying glasses, so that they would be unable to read these tiny billet-doux. Seriously, the dis covery IS an important as well as an ingenious one and under certain circumstances may be advantageously used.

Wm. Walker Contradicts Himself

There IS an old proverb to the effect that !" liars should have good memories" Last fall and winter, when William Walker was at New Orleans, fitting out his pratical expedition against Nicaragua, he said, and his friends for him, that the United States government was in favor of the plan. The journals in favor of Walker stated distinctly, over and over again. that the government favored Walkers plan that it could not directly aid it but would keen off foreign powers, ito that end it had deter mined to send two national vessels, with in- structons to keep foreigners from informed. ding, one It each of the termni of the transit route, and therefore the scheme was bound to be successful By these representa- tons, large sums of money were raised and numbers of men induced to join the expedi- ton.
 Gen. Walker now publishes letter in the Mobile Register in which he admits that he and his confederates lied, that the administra- ton told him at the start that it was determined to arrest his expedition. We give this extract from the letter:
 In the month of October last l was in lew | Orleans preparing to return to Nicaragua. About the middle of the month Gen. Hennincsen arrived from Washington aud soon after we met he informed me that he had important news to communicate. He then proceeded to state that while in Washington he had held several conversations with the Secretary of | War; that in the course of one of the inter- views the Secretary had informed him of the determination on tle part of the President to ayyes. | the expedition to Nicaragua, adding at the same time, that the acquisition of Cuba during his administration was an object dear to the heart of Mir. Buchanan"
 1 It will be remembered that in the latter par, of October, Walker said, in New Orleans, tha, Mr. Buch hanan was in favor of his project. and would aid him.a He now says that the seccre. tary of War told Gen. Henningsen that the President was determined on arresting the ex. l petition Therefore, he either lied in Octohe, in order to get contributions of money and men, or he lies now.

whither are we Tending "

Uader this caption, the Gazette has long and lugubrious article, goilg to show that we are all going to the devil tge,her. This dole tu thought is very naturai .e . freshly beaten man, but singularly enough, the editor infers it because MT. Buchanan said that the majority could make constitutions. It is very fortunate that minority cannot, for, if they could the poor foreigners and Catholics would be in A had box. The opposition here made the wonderful discovery, that, if majority should rule, gov ernment may rob its citizens, the rights of the South are gone, and all that sort of stuff. Onrs IS government of majorities, and woe be to the people when minority shall rule The peo- pie are the rulers, and their voice is omnjpotent The aboitionists proper, from whom the pre- sent danger is to be apprehended, are really in the minority. If the South will unite. aided by the conservative democrats of the North this will be demonstrated at the election of 1880. But if the opposition at the South ep deavor to get up separate organization, and so divide the people, the minority may defeat us because of that division. Hence the necessity of every friend of his country rallving under the banner of democracy Under that sign we shall conquer, and none other The democratic party defeated Fremont, and it will defeat the black republican candidate in the approaching contest, be he Seward, Crittenden, Gerritt Smith or Fred. Douglass.

Messrs. EDIToRs-We understand that the United States Supreme Court has lately decided that lands already pre-empted but for which the United States have not yet issued any patents, are exempt from taxation. This decision has not reached us in an official form, and we can find nothing on the subject except some para graphs in newspapers. It is matter of very great interest to our State, and we are anxious to know exactly what the decision is. We pre- sume it is not yet published. If not, wo"ld you be kind enough to give us at least a sylIa- bus of the case iu yonr estimable paper, if within your power conveniently to do so? If not state how we can obtain the information we desire, and much oblige A SUBSCRIBER.
 [We can inform our subscriber that the Su- preme Court has made no such decision as he represents He as well as others have been msled by an erroneous statement of the case which originated in New York paper The opinion of the Court which was supposed to have contained such decision will be found in 2Oth Howard, No v, very soon, we believe to be issued from the press. As, however 1t may be some time before our western subscribers can have access to the volume, we will, for their convenience, endeavor at an early day to insert the opinion in our coumns-Editors National Mtelhgencer.
