fFnm the Memphis Avalanche, Nor 11ta,l
!, The publication Of tbs testimony adduced in
the examination Of Palmer, has created deep
md feeling sensation throughout the entire
community: Tha appearance Of truth which
1hatchers letter cstrles upon its face, and the
starting disclosures which it contains, are sure
" sufficient to awaken the most serious doubts
IN the minds Of all true hearted men as to the
character Of some Of our citizens. Who are the
synpathizers with, and the aiders and abettors
o1 the old traitor Brown, lirins in our midsss
"ho are the prominent merchants" that are
with the abolitionists " heart and htnd!" We,
IN common with others, are most anxious to
Know, and it j. to be regretted that Thatcher
did not mention the naules Of some Of these
traitors, in order that, il proven guilty, they
might receive the Just reward Of their treacher-
ous conduct We are well aware that there are
SAID to be some here who dislike to see negroes
exposed for sale On the streets, and to whom
various other customs pertaining to Southern
cities are considered SHOCKING 10 the moral
sense Of community" but we were not nre-
pared to believe that there was an individual in
our midst who would plot for the ruin and mur-
Der Of his friends and neighbors it connection
With such men Us Brown, Smith and Giddiugs.
Il there be any such here, the Developments in
the case now very properly in shape to be
brought before competent judicial tribunal
may SHOW who and whit they are, and il such
be the case the prompt Efforts of the authorities
IN the presen. instance will have been Of some

Richards, and appledfor writ Of hd5<as corpus.

"a pnr,u Mithout Principles.',

Tho "Richmond Examiner" speaks OF the
Opposition party as "a party without principles
and saws that the columns of every opposition
paper in the southern States may be searched
in vain for any programme OF governmental
measures to be inaugurated by the Opposition
should it get the control of the Government, or
for any declaration of the principles and pohcy
by which the administration Of the Govern
ment will be guided. Admitting that this Is
true, in what better condition, we would ask,
is the Democratic party2 Upon what single
principle or measure of governmental policy Is
the Democratic party united2 II any party
that has ever existed in this country since the
foundation of the Government may be justly
denominated party without principles 1t IS the
psrtv TO whose interests the Examiner belongs.
Scarcely any two counties in any State OF 'ne
Union will give the same definition OF Demoe-
racy, or lay down the same programme OF gov
ornamental measures, or stand upon the same
platform of protested principles. The utter ao-
surdity OF the claim asserted by that party that
it alone is national, has been so often exposed
that it is almost useless 10 recapltulate the
points of high Importance to the country upon
which they are at loggerheads among themselves
while claiming to be united in all sections OF the
Union, Congressional Intervention aud Squatter
Sovereignty, Protective Tariff and Free Trade
Distribution and ADMINISTRATION, Internal I'm
proyement and Anti-Internsl Improvement, At
ricsn Slave Trade and Anti-Afriean Slave Trade,
upon these and every other question OF public
policy there is no sort of harmony OF sentiment
among men calling themselves Democrats. Id
one section of the country one thing is SAID 10
be Democracy, aud in another just its opposite.
Thus has the party been progressing for years,
held together only by an absolute ignoring OF all
principles for the sake of retaining the spoils OF
Office. Their platforms have been srtfully con-
structed with view to this grand object, and
have proved so worthless that the better men OF
the party from conviction of their worthless
ness, and the more unprincipled for the purpose
of avoiding difficulties growing out OF eontrari'
ETY. of opinion, are alike opposing any enuncia-
ton of principles by the Charleston Conven-
ton. If the Opposition is "just no party but
mere faction" as the Examiner says, it must be
admitted that the Democratic party is con-
federation of factions, each embittered against
the other, and acting together, not from attach
ment to any particular policy, but only for the
purpose of securing the shalt loaf" which Is
better than none. United they eau make "di-
viden and each faction get share. Divided
they are powerless and lose all. But for this
omnipotent consideration, which has heretofore
acted like oil upon the agitated waters of their
turbulent Conventions, the great Democratic
party would long since have been dissolved into

ssBlondin at Niagara.n

The newspapers are still full of the ridiculous
exploits of q fool-hsrdy Frenchmsn named Blon-
din, at Niagara Falls. His last performance took
place on Wednesday, the 18th, when he crossed
the river upon his rope, carrying man upon bis
shoulders. An immense number Of people as
sembled at Niagara to witness the feat The
trains from Buffalo took down not less than TWEEN
ty-6ye hundred. Twenty cars, all full, arrived
from Rochester ten from Lewiston and thirty
five by the Great Western Railway. Two steam
ers arrived with twenty. four hundred passengers,
and the crowd was further swelled by very
large number of persons from both sides of the
river who came in their own carriages
At half past o'clock Blondin made his ap-
pearanoe and mounted the rope. He first cross
ed alone to the Canada side, turning summersets
by tie way, standing on his head, and running
along with his bapds and feet like an ape-as he
is. His browning achievement is thus described
by the Buffalo Courier:
''Mr. Blondin occupied something over half an
hour in crossing, most of the time being spent
in his performances on the rope. He remained
on the Canada side to rest and refresh himself
some fifteen or twenty minutes, and again ap-
peared upon the rope. This time he had his
agent, Mr.. Henry OOlcord, man weighing about
1876 pounds, upon his back, aud his balancing
pole in his hands. He proceeded down the rope
very slowly and cautiously, as if feeling every
step, until he was about hundred feet from the
Canada side, when Mr.. Colcord dismounted and
stood upon the rope Immediately behind NJ. Blon-
din. They here remained to rest probably three
or four minutes, when Mr.. Colcord again mount
ed and NJ Blondin proceeded, still walking very
slowly and stopping occasionally to balance him
self. They stopped FIVE times in crossing, and
each time Mr.. Colcord dismounted and again re-
sumed his position. He had bis arms around Mr..
Blondin's neck aud his legs rested on the bal
ancing POLE He was in his shirt sleeves and
wore a straw hat. About % minutes were &C.
cupieG in accomplishing the first half OF the rope,
and the balance in 20, making 10 minutes from
bank to bank.
son reaching the landing N. Blondin was
much flushed aud appeared very much fatigued,
while Mr.. ColcoSd was pale, but did not betray
any signs of fear. 1t was about half past six o.
clock when he reached this side"

Rob Spins a Yarn.

An unknown correspondent enclosed the fol-
lowing rich paragraph to a gentleman of this
place, without comment. 1t is an extract from
the Religious Telegraph" an abolition paper
published at Dayton, Ohio:
Robert Napier, who lives in Columbus, O.,
called in our office, on Monday last, and from
him we obtained the following facts He was,
few years since, slave in Augusta county, Va
His master becoming involved, he, with other
slaves was about to be sold. Fearing that he
might be carried away down South, he besought
wealthy man, in whom he had confidence, to
buy him. The man refused, at first, saying that
he never would own slave. Napier proposed
that he should buy him, aud then give him
chance to work out his freedom. To this the
wealthy stakeholder consented and in four
years and three months. Mr.. Napier laid in his
hands, as the result of his own toll, $1,000 in
speoiel Free papers were then giveE him.
But now he was involved in new difficulties.
His wife and FIVE children were the property of
a Presbyterian lady; and the laws required that
he should leave the State within yearl What
could he do2 As last and only hope he came
to Ohio, and by hard work and the aid of friends
he has been able to purchase his wife and
youngest child. They are now with him at Co.
lumbus. The Presbyterian lady offers him an
other one of his children, little boy, for 5000;
but will, on no account, sell the eldest three i
Mr.. n. asks the public to aid him in purchasing
his little son. Mr.. N. is noble looking man.
1t will be seen from the above that Bob has
lost none of his shrewdness and knavery. We
know not whether he tells the truth in regard to
the refusal of the mistress of his children to sell
them to him; but if she does, we believe that
shareholders in this part of the country general
y claim the right to dispose of their property or
not, just as they see fit. To say the least of it,
the noble looking Mr.. Napier has suppressed the
facts connected with his departure from this
place. He was detected in stealing corn from
gentleman of the neighborhood, convicted of
the offence before the Mayor of Staunton, whip
ped at the public whipping post, and ordered to
leave the State. Perhaps the Religious Tele.

additional facts in the history of Mr.. Napier.

The steamer Asia, arrived at New York, brings
three days later advices from Europe, but no news
of any marked Importance. The Zurich Confer
ence was to meet on the 9th inst. Until its de-
alterations and conclusions were made known, at
fairs were not likely to assume any new aspect.
An attempt to poison General Garibaldi was re-
ported. France was said to be intriguing for the
return of the Austrian Grand Dukes to the ltal.
ian possessions. Whilst Parliament was pressing
forward the preparations for the increase OF the
British Navy, Napoleon is rapidly reducing his
to the peace standard. In Austria Ministerial

don had assumed serious proportions. Forty
thousand were expected to be out of employment

TAKE CARE OF Your OATTLE.-An impor.
tant decision was made by the Supreme Court
at Madison, Wisconsin, on the 9th instant in the
case of Henry Stucken os. the Milwaukee and
Mississippi Railroad Company, from Crawford
county, for killing cattle. The Court sent the
case for new trial, but decided that Railroad
companies are not bound to fence against cattle,
and that they are liable for gross negligence on
ly in cases of injury to cattle wrongfully upon
the track. Railroad companies are bound to use
ordinary care merely. This decision is in &C.
cordance with the recent decisions Of other

GENEROUS GIFr--A few years before the
death of the late Rev. James W. Alexander, of
New York, his congregation raised his salary
from 81, 600 to $4,000. He, however, refused to
accept the increase, and his charge were forced
to take the money and make fund of it, which
they did. At his death this fund amounted to
$4,000, and last week the congregation made it
$25, 900 and gave it to his family.

The Corn Crop.

The corn crop in all parts of this county has
suffered to some extent from drouth, but we learn
that in the Mt Meridian neighbOrhOod the fields
are as yellow and dead as they generally are in
October. Refreshing showers fell on last Friday
but the crop must nevertheless be q short one,
especially if frost comes as early as usual. We
had slight frost one morning last week.

MICE AND RATs.-Mr. Glenny says: Mice and
rats are very easily destroyed if we set about it
in earnest. Get live plaster of Paris and flour:
mix them dry in equal quantities, lay it in dry
places, and sprinkle little sugar among it
Both rats and mice eat ravenously, the plaster
sets firm directly after it is moistened, becomes
lump inside them. and kills to q certainty.

itor of the Examiner, having, as reported, came
to this city for q hostile meeting, eluded the
vigilance of our police, and early this morning

challenger. The parties returned between -
