Blondin's Latest Feat


From the Buffalo Courier of the 9th we extract the
following
Blondin succeeded yesterday in accomplishing
another of his daring feats This one, we think, may
be ranked next to that Of carrying man across upon
his back.
At4P.M, Blondin made his appearance, accom-.
panied by Spertzel, of his right band men Finding
that his guys were too slack, considerable time was
consumed in getting things in proper order. How.
ever, at O'Clock, all things being ready, Bopdin
stepped upon the rope, and after encumbering his
feet with willow baskets sixteen inches in diameter
and eleven deep, as well shackling himself as he
did upon former occasions, Immediately started upon
his journey. When about onethrd of the way across
he went through his performance Of standing upon
one foot and then upon his head etc. then started at
rapid rate, and reached the Canadian shore in thir
teen minutes. Walking with baskets upon his feet
must have been quite trying to his nerves. as tbey
were liable to slip at every step. The vibration when
at the center is tremendous, the rope swaying some
three or four feet, as are informed
After fastening his guys upon the Canadian side
calling upon his friends in the crowd ETC., he again
at 10 minutes of g. made himself conspicuous by an
pearing upon his rope with light stand on his left
side upon which he placed bottle of champagne,
some cake and candy. Upon his right he had chair
attached. Blondn's intention was to sit upon his
chair and partake of his good cheer, but unfortu-
nately, and greatly to his disappointment when he
was in the act of doing, his chair caught on the
calf of his leg and tumbled into the river. He made
good of his table, he was fifteen minutes in cross
ing this time,

SLAVE TRADE.

From the Sparta (Bienville Parish) Jeffersonian
Of the 7th inst. we clip the following:
The Minden Monitor is down on the reopeniDg the
rreparably affect the great Southern interest" The
editor has right to his opinion but if we wish to
fight the devil (he enemies of slavery,) successfully
we must fight him them) with fire. We do not wish 10
see the Democratic party-as party-advocate and
make it test of their true principles but for Gods
sake let not denounce all those who are in favor of
reopening the trade. We can tell the Monitor that
the slave trade will have to be opened in time, to pre-
vent the slaves from getting into the hands of few,
thereby forming monopoly. That minute you put
it out of the power of common farmers to purchase
negro man or woman to help him in his farm or his
wife in the house. you make him an abolitonist at
once. So long the slaves attainable by all in
dustrious men, the South has no frmer friend than
the nonslaveholders living in the South but put it
out Of their power to them by high prices, and,
as we have said, you make them enemies to slavery
and from present Indications that period is not far
distant.
We have never advocated re.opening of the Afri.
slave trade and do not expect that we ever SHALL
although we think philanthropy and christianity
alike sanction it yet we must say there is much in
the foregoing that should arrest the profound atten-
tioD of the saveholding portion of the community.
The number of shareholders is constantly decreasing,
while the price of negroes has risen to such figure
as to substantially put it out of the power of the
to become pecunisry interested in the insi.
tuition proftaby. This isolation, which is growing
greater every year, is, we fear, fraught with gny.
thing but promises of prosperous character.

l. Subscribers who do not give express notice
to the contrary, are considered as wishing to
continue their subscription.
g. If subscribers wish their papers discontin-
ned, publishers may continue to send them until
all charges are paid

papers from the Office or place to which they
are sent, they are held responsible until they
settle their bill, and give notice to discontinue
them.
A. If subscribers move to other places without
Informing the publisher, and the paper is sent to
the former direction, they are held responsible.
Notice should always be given of removal.
8. The courts have decided that refusing to
take a paper or periodical from the Office, or re-

An Exploded Theory.

Col. Gilpin, of Missouri recently delivered
lecture in Kansas City, in which he expressed
the opinion that, in the Cherry Creek mines,
near Pixies Peak, Kansas Territory, "gold exists
in mass as iron does at Pilot Knob.n
Col. Gilpin is no doubt a very scientific gen.
tleman, but he has never had any experience in
gold mining-otherwise he would not at this day
have been heard graSely talking about discov-
ering mountain of gold
This idca ofinding the place tcherc the cash gold
comes from, with the belief that the precious metal
there existed ain mass as iron does at Pilot
Knob" was universally prevalent in California
in early days; and thousands were the men who
arguing that that much desirable place was
whose beds and banks the precious dust was
scattered-spent hundreds of weary and labori-
Gus days, at an expense of hundreds of thousand;
of dollars, in endeavoring to reach it.
We remember listening delighted while seat
ed around camp FIRE near Independence il
ls49, to the eloquent and gallant Gilpin, as h,
discussed this with him favorite theory of golC
existing high up in the mountains I" in mass."-
His remarks at that time, to our inexperienced
mind, were convincing. Then, indeed, his the
ory was most reasonable. If there existed
place from which the lighter gold was washed
was it not fair to suppose that.the heavier por
tions remained at that place, high up on th,
streams? We say at that time the theory wa
most plausible. But nine years experience ii
California has exploded that theory, plausible a
it was, and the eloquent Gilpin will find that i
will prove equally fallacious in the gold regiol
of Pixies Peak
The Shasta courier., 1859-01-01

DEcLNED.-Mr. Wise, editor of the Richmond
Enquirer, declined to accept challenge to fight
duel. He says his assailanti is british sot
and mendacious slanderer. and thinks it would
be an act of folly to risk his life against that of
his challenger. The Golden Era awards him
great praise for setting this example. Mr.. Wise,
we believe, only few months since fought a
member of Congress from Virginia and inflicted
the same sort of wound upon him as that re-
ceved by W. |. Ferguson at the hands of George
Pen Johnston. Mr.. Wise therefore could afford
to set this example. Besides he did not decline
to fight because he thought the duello bar
barous code, but because his assailant was uu-
worthy to be met by gentleman. Hence we
think Mr. Wise is not entitled to any sort Of
"high praise" for "thus boldly opposing o
popular and barbarous prejudice
