RS2s% It is stated that the Grand Jury Of Jefferson county, in which Harper's Fer. ry Is situated, will find indictments against several citizens of the North, as accesso- ries 10 the recent rols. The Abolition papers are already asserting that the Black Republican Governors will not re- spond to requisilion from Gov, WIse.- They are resortng to quibbea to prove that the parties cannot be demanded for trial in Virginia--tbat the Constltunon of the United States provides that "any per son charged in any State with treason, felony, or other crime, who shall flee from justice, and be found in another State, shall, on demand Of the executive author- ity of the State from tcbich he fed, be de- Iivered up to be removed to the Stale hav- ing jurisdiction of the crime" The New York Tribune and other Abolition papers take the position that this clause evident ly contemplaes that the party charged must have fed out of the Stale making the demand.-- Memphis Avalanche.

GEOLOGICAL LEcTuRE.-We had
the pleasure Of listening to a most in
teresting and able lecture from J. A.
Jennings, Esq, on the subject of Ge-
ology, on Wednesday evening at the
Methodist church. The discour Sc
was the first of a series embracing
the period from the beginning down
to the glacial era Of Lyell. The lee
ture we heard was devoted to what
might be called the first, or astrono-
mic period Of the earth's existence.
and the subject was treated in quite
an original light. with theories forti-
fed with the most striking and con-
vincing facts, evincing much thought,
abundanfknowledge of science, and
remarkable power of arranging ev-
idence in conclusive form, on the
part of the lecturer. We could hope
that sufficient inducements might be
offered Mr.. Jennings to procure the
reading Of his entire series Of lectures
upon the most interesting science of
Geology in this place. We venture
to say that no lecture more full Of
thought will be heard in this city for
many years to come than the one of
Wednesday night. Mr.. Jennings
goes to San Francisco, in which city
we hope to hear he will be received
according to bis merits.

Newzy Discocered Action of Light.

Victor's recent experiments, if So
luton of starch or dextrine ZONE of its
constituents, with gum and sugar,) be
exposed for short time {say a quar-
ter of an hour for small quantity, to
the action of solar light, the liquid
will be converted into glucose grape
sugar.) This will tend to explain
many a natural phenomena, such as
the ripening Of fruits, etc. NJ. Niepce
believes that if punches of grapes at
the beginning of Autumn were inclos-
ed in paper bags stepped in solution
of tartaric acid, not only would the
ripening be accelerated, but the guam

greatly increased, tartarie acid, like

State guarantee the payment of the
interest for number Of years on the
bonds of a company which shall un-
dertake the construction of the road
to the extent of. say, $4,000 per
mile, and that no onerous taxation
may accrue to the people therefrom,
that the swamp and overAowed lands
be devoted to an Internal Improve
ment Fund. and also that donation
of lands be obtained from the general
government to be used for the same
purpose. The plan of Col. Fitch has
received pretty general endorse
ment by the press and the people Of

arena was prepared on the Virginia

high and fight board fence. around
the inside of which seats were ar
ranged to seat 1900 people. In the

ranged with a proper carpet Of saw
dust, on which the contestants strove
for the prizes. Four days were de-
voted to the wrestling. commencing
on Thursday of last week and end
ing on Monday of this. The amphi-
theatre was thronged most Of the
time, though the sun shone hot into
it, and the best order was maintained
throughout. Not until the last day

BsD= Considerable speculation is going on
among politicians as to who will be the OPP
position candidate for Governor next year.
1t is generally conceded that the Democratic
candidate will be Thomas Hendricks The
question pregnant with anxiety is, who can
SO unite the Opposition as to defeat Mr..
Hendricks Several gentlemen are spoken
of but as yet no one seems to be pre-en1i-
nently prominent. The New Albany Tri-
6~ae, which supported Mr.. Fillmore in 1856,
says it has an abiding confidence in the
good sense of the Opposition Convention,
and that either Henry S. Lane, Judge Otto,
or Judge De Bruler viii be placed in nomi-
nation. The same paper thinks that " under
either of these men an united opposition can
march to battle and to victory" Judge
De Bruler has great personal strength in
the First Congressional District, and if he
woald accept the nomination, would be the
strongest man that could be put on the
track - +a .-ss- .rl
