The "GalIed Jade viii Vince"


We quote the following from the Ohio State
Journsl, issued yesterday:
"Ths Cincinnati PENNY PRESS, small
journa! of as great capacity for dullness as any
Of its city cotemporaries.
Hello! what's the matter with the Columbus
Journal Small as the PENNY Press is, and
as dull as 1t is, It is sharp enough to appreciate
what ails the peevish Journal. There are nearly
three hundred copies of the PENNY Press de-.
'ivered daily in the Capital City; hence this
part of "our capacity for dullness" annoys
the complaining writer. Every additional
rqbscrbsr obtained by US in that city increases
our duness, and has provoked this friendly
notice of "our small Journal"
As to the PENNY Press being "of as great
capacity for dullness as any OF our city cotem-
poraries," we have managed to be- dull to some
purpose, as our daily circulation in Cincinnati
IS exceeded by only one Of our cotem porariss.
Really, the Columbus Jo.rnal has been
dull enough to carp at this paper for deolar-
Ing, In fgurative expression, that the fanati-
cisr, of tho insurgent BROWN met the dis
appreciation and indignant frown Of the Father
of bic country. We are too sharp to weary or
insult our readers with excusatory articles In
detense Of traitors and murderers.

Giddings on the Harper's Ferry Affair
PHILApELPHIA.

PHILADELPHIA, October %.
Joshua R. Giddings delivered an address
this evening for the purpose OF explaining
what be knew about Brown.
Ho ssys he invited Brown to Jefferson, Ohio,
where he delivered a lecture one Sunday after
church, telling of his trials in Kansas.
After the lecture, Giddiugs prompted the
audience to contribute relief to Brown.
Afterward, Brown took tea at his house,
where they had conversation, though Brown
never said that he intended to visit the slave
States to free the slaves. dddirgs inferred
that he would if an opportunity offered, mainly
from having done 80 in Missouri.
These are the only times Giddings saw
Brown. He asserts that neither in his lecture
or conversation did Brown say he had assist
ants or associates; no mention was made Of
Hsrper's Ferry or Virginia organizations, or q
Provisional Government. He acknowledges
contributing three dollars to Browns son to-
ward the necessities of his father after the
rescue of boy from kidnappers, matter in
which Giddings acknowledged taking strong
interest.
In bestowing this gFatuity, he had little
idea that it was to fit out an expedition to
capture Harper's Ferry, effect the conquest Of
the Old Dominion, or strike terror to tho
Executive Imperial Government.

From Washington.
WASHINGTON. October 2

WASHINGTON, October 28.
The United States District Court Of South
Carolina has made an order for the restitution
of the Ketch Brothers to the claimants thereof
The Court said that the cargo, crew and des
tination are the circumstances chiefly relied
upon to prove an alleged violation of the laws
prohibiting tho African slave trade. 1t may
be that there are sufficient to excite suspicion,
but do not produce that conviction of guilty
purpose. Thoy do not leave any reasonable
doubt as to the object which must precede and
support decree Of condemnation and forfeit
ure.
Application Is frequently made to the Presi-
dent for Midshipman appointments, and some
friends of the applicants come from consider
able distance to urge their claims. The Presi-
dent has, under the law, power to appoint ten
Cadets at largo, but no Midshipmen. The
latter are recommended by members of Con-
gress, in the came manner as Cadets arc ap-
pointed.
The last mail from England brought advices
from distinguished sources respecting the
present unsettled condition Of affairs in
Europe, by which it appears that mono can
foresee how the difficulties attendant on the
Italian question could be settled, or what will
be the result of the Zurich Conference.
1t is evident that the various SovereignS
are alarmed, being apprehepsive Of general
war. England, it is said, has no power TO
depend upon excepting Germany, and being
favorable to the reform movement in Italy,
she knows not how 10 act between the two,
and she is fearful of losing the friendship of
the one in the advocacy Of the cause Of the
other.
Russia, who since the Crimean war has
had no more continental alliances, awaits
events before coming to decision as to what
part she will take, and with the view of act
ing intellgently, the Emperor has ordered
his Ministers from the principal Courts to
join him at Warsaw, in order to give him
ample information on the state OF the re.
spective countries to which they are diplo-
matically assigned.
For prudential reasons more than the usual
cautions seem to be observed in Official quar-
ters in concealing from the public the pres
ent condition OF the San Juan Island ques-
zion, and hence the contradictory statements
prevalent concerning it.
The new steamer, built at Pensacola, will
soon arrive at Norfolk to be fitted cut with
engines, and will convey thither the officers
and crew Of the Fulton.
Reports prevail that requisitions will be
made for certain aidors and abettors OF the
Harpers Ferry conspirators, but the rumors
can not be traced to reliable sources.
Aaron Van Camp obtained to-day In the
Circuit Court for the District of Columbia,
$l6 900 against Jonathan jenkins.
This was suit for damages suffered by the
plaintiff three years ago, from the act of the
defendant as Commercial Agent of the United
States, OF Navigator's Island, in the South
Pacific.

The Spirit OF Violence.

A deep distrust at present fills the minds
OF residents in the border towns in tho slave
States, and efforts made in their limits in
agitation of the slave question gives them
alarm. We appreciate their excited state of
mind, and are prepared to learn that during
this heated term Of excitement wrong may
be done innocent parties. The spirit of vio-
lence has visited our neighborhood, and New
port, KY, has, when thinking about old
BROWN, remembered that old BAILEY was
among them, with his anti-slavery paper,
aud last night destroyed his forms and type.
This is type Of the times. Particulars in
local column.

The Rochester Democrat, October rs, has the
following;
Some "suspicious-lookiug charactsrs," Of
gentlernanly but Official demeanor, have been
changing about town " for day or two past,
and it is supposed that their object In visiting
Rochester Is to call on Mr.. Frederick Dou glass
for explanations regarding the recent emeutc
at Harper's Ferry. 1t so happens, however,
that Mr.. Douglass is out of town, and his
present whereabsut does not seem to be gen.

connected with the United States Marshal's
ofice-deputies of that gentleman, in fact.

gBr The New York Ob,eruor, alluding to
some passages in recent sermon of Rev. II.
W. Beecher, and to portions of Mrs. Stoves
"Mini'tor's Wooing," says:
1t is no cause Of wonder to ua that these two
gifted aud distinguished persons have at last
taken their position deliberately and decsively
with the opponents Of Evangelical Christianity.
Their influence for many years has been on the
side Of error and against truth. 1t is better
for the church that they should define their
position As they have now distinctly done, and
hereafter we shall know where to find them,
and what to expect when they address the
public.

What Is a TURNOUT,

President BUCHANAN has confounded switch
and turnout which bis victims consider as
one thing, and hard to take at that. But
switch and turn out for street railroad are
totally different. A switch being long enough
to sllow cars to stand on, which would be u
nuisance; but turnout Is short double
curve of but length enough to admit two cars,
each keeping to the right, to pass each other
without stopping. They work well in St.
Louis, and will before long bs demanded and
used in this city.

red wine can be made from no grapes unless

Even in tho greatest vino regions Of Europe,
none of their grapes yield must red enough
to make red wine. In all parts of America
wild grapes abound, yielding red must, and
many must almost as dark as ink, and by q
proper selection the red winea Of Europe will
be left in the background. I do not believe
that fermenting must or pulp, theris an d stems,
will improve its quality, but ipjure it. We
