THE GREAT BATTLE oE 1S60.-Hon.
Daniel S. Dickinson, in recent speech at
Buffalo, N. Y, in speaking of the Presi-
dental campaign, said
"We now hear, as the struggle begins in
New York, the distant roar of the cannon
booming for the great battle of 1861 drums
are beating, Dugles are sounding, steeds are
prancing, boyonets are bristlng, and platoons
are marching-the earth will tremble to its
center with the shock of the terrible onset
The "irrepressible conflict" over the Con-
stitution is soon to be set in array, and to
be lost or won, for the residue of the mines
teenth century. Let every Democrat, whetb
or belonging to the horses or foot-whether
leader or follower-whether at the head of
division of private solder, repair to the
field and hell turn the tide of victory. Let
no Democratic forces refuse to march to the
scene Of action for any cause of grievance,
real or imaginary, lest the cause of section
Slism and diusnion thereby triumph"

THE Law or NEWSPAPERS.

J. Subscribers who DO not give express notice
to the contrary, are considered as wishing to
continue their subscriptions.
2 If Subscribers order the discontinuanee of
their paper, the publisher may continue to send
to thsm until all arrearages are paid, and sub
scribers are RESPONSIBLE for all numbers sent.
3. II subscribers neglect or refuse to take their
papers from the office to which they are directed
they are held responsible till they have settled
their bills, and ordered their papers discontinued
T. The Courts have decided that refusal to
take newspaper or periodical from the Post
Office without notifying the publisher, and the
payment of all arrearages, is Prima facie evidence
of fraud
Subscribers of newspapers or periodicals
moving, are liable to pay so long rs the paper or
periodical may be sent to the residence of the
party 1t the time of subscription, unless notice
Is sent Of such removal to the publication Office
6. Many persons who subscribe for newspapers
think that unless the publisher can show their
names the subscription list" they are not
liable to pay even for the papers they receive and
take out of the Post Office. But law, as well as
equity, has decided in favor of the publisher.

WHY Gov. WISE CANT PARDON Cook.
Cook misled Brown, deceived him, and ims
posed upon all of the prisoners he gave
descriptions Of the persons of those who
fed Had Cook, who lived two years in
Virginia, while engaged in planning this
very crime, made known to old Brown that
he had not been able to induce one slave to
join, and that no aid was TO be expected
from the shareholders, John Brown had
too much shrewdness not to have seen the
folly upon which he was engaged and be
would have abandoned the undertaking.
Cook married in Virginia for the purpose of
better concealiug his designs, and not arous-
lug suspicious; he is doubIy criminal, for
he sought the destruction of those near aud
dear to his wife. Cook had visited and
been Hospitality entertained by the very
gentlemen he afterwards robbed; he knew
from actual experiment that no slave would
join him he knew that without large re-.
Inducements from the North the attempt
must fall and hence he was the first to
fly, aud he planned his flight beforehand,
leaving his deluded comrades to meet the
fate his deception had brought upon them
Does such a criminal deserve pardon? We
do not believe any unbiased mind can, in
the face Of snCh facts, desire the pardon Of
this man.-Richmond Eng

Berger the French Orator who defende
Montalembert

Montalembert.
The following portrait of NJ. Berger we find
in late English paper. 1t will be found oil
great interest in connection with the recent
trial in France:
Malre Berryer-"Maitre" is the designa.
ton of the Juri>consult in court, and no" Mon.
'sieur"- Maitre Berger was then called on for
the defense. You are probably aware that in
France M. Berryer has long been considered
by most people as one OF the greatest of French
orators since the time of Mirabeau. In person
he is rather under than over the medium size,
but his features are full Of expression, and re-
fleet the passion which burns within him.
There is something fascinating in his glance ;
and the Iook~with which he surveyed the Pro.
(ureur seated on his lofty bench, as he entered
the court after few minutes absence, seemed
to take the measure of that functionary's intel,
ect His whole person is eloquent The tt'
feet OF NJ. Berryer's impassionated rhetoric can.
not be given by the most skilfull shorthand
writer, for its force lies in those qualities which
cannot be transferred to paper. Who can give
the exquisite intonatons Of that rich and melo
dous voice. or the graceful energy of his ac'
tion2 That action and that voice are never 81
much displayed as in the fire Of decama tion
Other orators may be interrupted by the ap
plause of their hearers, but M. Berryeris listen
es to with almost breathless silence, as if they
feared to loose even one note of that deep voce
or miss single wave of that arm. His voice
is heard distinctly, whether it is low or high
and when it ceases, you-L,'51o near II agdrt,
and hesitate L~-.ie slightest movement to
me Spell. The variety of his ntonaton
cannot be surpassed, whether his words be
simple and familiar, bold, o, rich with orna.
ment. In sarcasm he is powerful, and his per-
son swells under interruption.
