HORSE Shot IN BRoADwAY-OMNIBus DRIVER
WITH REvoLvER.-A man hailed an omnibus in
front of the Astor House, and handed bundle up
to the driver. As the driver stopped over to take
IL revolver dropped out of the side pocket of his
coat, tell to the sidewalk and exploded, the charge
entering one of the horses legs. The wounded
animal gave furious leap, and it required three or
tour men to prevent him running away. Fortu-
nately no one was injured; but the careessness of
the driver in having revolver about him in such
loose manner is wholly nexcusable, and might
have resulted in the destruction of human hfe.-

THE PREss.-The press of the United States i.
vigorous and enterprisiug, and reaches the hearts
of the community far beyond that of any other
country. 1t is for good or for evil the most pow
erful influence that acts on the public mind-the
most powerful in itself, and as the channel through
which most influences act. If it could learn that
an opponent is not necessarily and unprincped and
selfish adventurer, traitor, coward and knave,
and that our neighbors an average are about a.
honest and high minded as ourselves, it would in
crease its own power and the great interests af the
country (Which languish under the poison of our
party bltterness) would be incidentally promoted.

PRoGREss OF FREE TRADE-The following is an
extract from letter from Gothenburg, written by
native of Sweden returning home after ten years
residence in this country, dated July ID, 1859:
The export of grain from this country, particu-
larly ofrye, barley and oats has increased consid
eraby during the last few years last year reaching
to about ten million bushels of all kinds while some
years since they were importers of breadstufs; but
the adoption of system approaching very near
that of free trade'-as compared with former re
strictions-has given great impetus to everything
Landed property during the last ten years has ad-
vanced 100 to 200 per cent; all necessaries Of life
and labor advanced proportionally.
"Ths place particularly has shot ahead very fast.
and the accumulation of wealth has been quite
rapid. person possessed of $780, 900 of our money
is not now considered very rich"

RAILROAD PROsPECTs.-We copy the following
sensible observations from the Chicago Democrat
"The water routes will take the grain as the
cheapest means of transportation; ard the agricul-
tural community of debtors must go through the
disagreeabe process of paying two bushels of wheat
for debt one was to cancel when it was incurred
The railway system of the West, built upon grain
at two dollars per bushe has now reached point
where its most severe trials commence. The bust
ness created by building roads has subsidized, and
affairs along their lines have been restored to their
Wonted quiet: Most Of the roads have suspended
dividends, while large class have repudiated
stocks and bonds alike. By economy pushed so
far as to suspend necessary repairs, many roads
have paid interest upon their mortgage bonds
whether the majority Of them can do this for the
next year is still matter Of doubt The whole
country is richer in crops than was ever known,
but there underlies tie whole mass of debts made
upon the inflated scale of 1856 and 1857 which re-
quires all the skill of the debtor to manage"

The ERAREY ''SEcREr."-In the Genhen,au's Fu,
riery, by Bartlett, (sixth editon,) published in
1862, page 293, is the following:
The method proposed by DR.. Bracken is to tie up
one of his fore feet close, and to fasten a cord or
small rope about the other feock bringing the end
of it over the horses shoulders then let him be hit
or kicked with your foot behind that knee, at the
same time pulling his nose down strongly to the
manger, and you will bring him upon his knees
where he should be held till he s tired which can
not be long; but if he does not lie down soon. let
him be thrust sideways against his quarters, to
throw him over. by forcing him down several times
in this way you may teach him to lie down at the
same word you first used for that purpose

How FRANCE MANS HER NAvY.-The source from
which France derives her seamen are the maritime
enrolment, voluntary enlistment, and the advance
ment OF the "mOusses," (sons of petty officers,
sailors, and oflicials.) The entire seafaring and
seacoast population Of the country is enrolled and
levies are periodically made All men on the
muster-roll are liable to sea service from the age
OF eighteen to fifty, though only two-thirds of the
number are supposed to be available The inscrin-
ton list of 1855 included l62, 900 men liable to
years SEA service. The forces obtained from the
inscription, voluntary enlistment, and the s:mous-
ses, or boys, after being collected the various
depots, are organized into companies Of steersmen,
gunners and musketeers, engineers stokers, &c
and from these divisions, which have been thor
oughly instructed and drilled. crews are embark
ed, according to the demand. Having en- trained
to exercise and work together, these men readily
unite IN the organization on the shipboard. The
internal economy of the service has also been de
termined by the Government so that there may be
uniformity of rule, of detail and of discipline
throughout; so that whatever ship man might be
draughted into he would find the same system pre-
vailing, and at once fall into his proper place. The
rolls for stations quarters, or inspection are always
the same; so that men and officers should always
tlnd uniform mode prevailing, in which they had
been instructed and trained In the discipline there
IS the same uniformity, the crimes being all cassed
and the different punishments prescribed. The
code is not severe,

From Washington


WASHINGTON, August 9-It is stated that during
the late term of the United States Circuit Court in
Alabama, held by Associate Justice Campbell,
several indictments were found under the law of
1878, which prescrbes fines and Imprisonment for
engaging in, or aiding and abetting the importa-
ton of Africans within the jurisdiction of the United
States. As the law of 1920 (Which makes the of
fence piracy to be visited with death) does not in
express language, repeal the former statute grave
question has arisen, involving the point whether
there could be a choice of the aforementioned
punishments; for while public sentiment at the
South is against the greater, juries here it is said
expressed disposition to render verdicts CARRYING
with them the less severe punishment. The opinion
is entertained here, among distinguished gentle
men, that, in view of all the facts notwithstanding
the established rule of interpreting statutes, the
question will probably be brought before the Su-
preme Court of the United States for its decision

LONDON VS.. New YORK. London correspond
ent of the Rochester Union and Advertiser, saws:
1t may crafty pardonable vanity on the part of
others-as confess it has gratified my otrn-to OBJ
serve, that in comparison with New York and some
other American cities, London presents a rather
mean appearance. 1t contains no street worthy of
being compared to Broadway. Its buildings devo-
ted to trade fall far below the corresponding class in
New York in neatness and architectural beauty. In
deed many of our own interior towns have decided
ly better look. The for this chiefly two:
the older portions of the city contain many build
ings which are very old; and I'd, to a very great
extent London and its suburbs are built upon leased
ground. The owners of the fee iu almost all cases
refuse to part with it. And gentleman who had
built house for himself on an eighty years lease
hold, remarked to me that the builders had become
so sharp that they could construct a house to last
eighty, hundred, or hundred and fifty years ;
and come very near the mark! Animated by such
apurpOse of course all architectural ornamentation
is very naturally dispensed with; and the lease
holder studies how he manage to allow the
least possible value in buildings to revert to the
overreaching and avarcious landlord.

DEATH BY HYDRoPHoBIA AT ORANGE n. IA lit
tie son of Patrick Murphy, about thirteen wears
old, keeper of the lodge at the mountain entrance
of Llewellyn Park, near Eagle rock, at Orange.
New Jersey, died last evening from the effects OF
hydrophnbia.
Some time in June he was at work in a nursery,
when strange dog passed near him, and he slap
inserted his teeth in the back of the right hand.
About the same time another boy in the neigh
borhood was bitten by dog, and his friends
thought they must do something, and had the
wound cauterized This lad hearing of it, thought
he would say nothing about his bite lest he
should have to be burned also. In a short time the
wound healed up, and nothing more was thought
about it.
Last Wednesday he complained to his mother OF
having sore arm and stiffness in the shoulder Ii
remained so until last Saturday, when he walked to
DR.. Persons Office, nearly two miles distant. His
symptoms were such to cause suspicious of the
terrible disease that working in his system
lie then confessed having been bitten as above
The physcians-sOme ten or more, who met to
see him on Sunday morning-decided that nothing
could be done to save his life.
He was able to be up, and walked about and con
versed freely between the paroxvsms, which, until
this time, had been light, though with great suffer
ing, until near three o'clock on Sunday afternoon.
He then laid upon the bed and seemed to suffer
most intensely, the sight of water or any LIQUID
causing wild agony, although he did not attempt
to injure any one him. Congestion OF the
brain Was evidently produced when his system be
came filled with the virus He suffered until even
