DIAMOND MINES IN ARKANsAs.-Dr.
David Dale Owen, now engaged in the
geological survey of Arkansas, has pub
lished a letter in which he states that
there is possibility of finding diamonds
in certain parts of the State. He says:
In my geological reconnaissance this
season in Jefferson county, have dis
covered large quantities of silicifed wood,
bearing east and west. through sections
16 and II, TIP. 3. range l3; and it will
doubtless be found in corresponding
course in many localities east and west,
or south of west, and north of east of
these tracts.
Along this range of wood, owing to
the peculiar nature of its metamorphosis
there is possibility OF finding diamonds.
and it would be well for those residing
in the vicinity of this formation to be
alive to this fact and look out for them.
If they occur in this district they are
most likely to be discovered in this earth
subjacent to the silicifed stumps. Their
peculiar adamantine lustre, exceeding
hardness, as well as crystalline form,
will serve to distinguish them from linn
pid quartz, with which they are often
confounded.

Popular Sovereignty in Kentucky.

/
1t will be recolected that the election6f
MAGoFFIs in Kentucky, has been claim
ed by Democratic press of Iowa, and by
Democratic stump speakers, as triumph
Of popular sovereignty" Well, Gov.
MAGoFFIN has issued his Inaugural Ad
dress, and it savors of very different
principals from those that have been at
tributed to the man. II has no DOUGLAS
Democracy in it.
The Governor claims that his election
is ga triumphant vindication of the ad-
ministration of President BUCHANAN
from the charge Of fraud and corruption,
and of the principles and policy advo-
Gated by the Democracy of Kentucky"
What those principles are we learn from
paragraphs Immediately following the
above declaration. The Governor says:
The Democratic party endorsed full
ly the doctrines Of the Dred Scott Deci-
sion. In the language of that decision
they hold that the right of property in
slaves is distinctly and expressly affirm
ed in the Constitution, and that the only
power over it conferred upon Congress is
the power coupled with the duty of
guarding and protecting the owners in
their rights. The power to protect does
not carry alongswith it the correlative
power to impair or Destroy"
This is not the doctrine which BEN NJ.
SAMUELs has been preaching la!terly on
the stump; yet it is the doctrine of the
Kentucky Democracy, and of the Dem
ocracy of all the Southern States.
Gov. MAGorFrN further says that " the
Territories are the property of the States,
and all have an equal right to go there
with their property, and be protected in
its enjoyment. The people who emigra,c
there have the right to, and will deter
mine for themselves, whether they will
or will not have slavery when they have
framed constitution and propose to
Congress to come into the Union As q
Sovereign State. But they hare no right
to do so whae they are tn a territorial con-
duion''
Does this sound like popular sover-
eighty? Yet this is the sentiment which
the Kentucky delegation will carry to
the Charleston Convention the senti-
ment which the united delegation of the
South will carry there. Popular sover-
eighty and its father are going to tho
dogs.-Dubuqus Times.

SOMETHING WORTH KNowING.-A day
or two since workman descending a
well which had been excavated Oh Barr

gas and became insensible. A light was

ed from the same cause, when one of his
comrades proposed to descend to his as
sistance. but was prevented by the fore
man, who wisely remarked that one man
could be more easily rescued than cou-
pie. As speedily as possible he procured
quantity of unslacked lime, which he
cast into the pit, and then dashed down
pail of pail of water. The good effect
was evident in brief space of time, for
a pull at the rope was felt, and the man
was drawn to the surface, having fortu-
nately escaped any i'll consequences from
the remedy which had been used to dis
pei the carbonic acid gas.

joint discussion between Kirkwood and
Dodge. and gives the following as his
impression of the two men
g. Mr.. Kirkwood is a very forcible
speaker; whatever he says he impresses
right to the understanding of his hear
ers. Gen. Dodge appeared. physically,
about used up. Although large, portly
man, we should consider him Of weak
constitution; full of flesh, yet it is soft,
flabby and newly made, while his com
petitor undoubtedly has an iron eonstilu-
ton. This is the first time We ever
heard Gen. Dodge, and we were very
much disappointed in him. He is, in
our opinion, no more than a third rate
man."

And as she drew near to her husband s

up from the depths of her soul, that she

Boston" My current is very strong
at times, and We can work better without
batteries, as the Aurora seems to neutral
ize and augment our batteries alternate
ly, making current too strong at times
for our relay magnet. Suppose we work
without batteries while we are affected by
this trouble ?''
Portland" Very well. Shall 60

Boston," Yes. Go ahead"
The wire was then worked for about
two hours, without the usual batteries,
on the auroral current, working better
than with the batteries connected. The
current varied, increasing alternately.
but by graduating the adjustment to the
current, a sufficiently steady effect was
obtained to work the line very well.
This is the first instance on record of
more than word or two having been
transmitted with the Auroral current
The usual effects of the electric storm was
also manifested, such as reversing the
poles of the batteries, &c.
We are informed also, that on the short
line between the Cambridge Observatory

Son, in Congress Street, which runs near
ly East and West, the waves of electric
ity displayed considerable regularity, be-
ing from half minute to a minute in
duration.-N. Y. Com.

A Native Of Illinois Reduced to Slave

ry-Fiendish Cruelty.
In the prison experience of DR.. Doy,
recently rescued from the St. Joseph
mo Jail, is the following horrible Incl
dent, related to correspondent of the
New York Tribune
A negro had been caught somewhere,
and was brought to Jail. Negroes are
confined in the lower part, and commu-
nication could be held through hole for
stovepipe. Through this DR.. Doy
learned from the captive that he was a
free man. and had been born in the State
of Illinois. He had-has-sO acres of
land, with some improvements, near Au-
rora, Illinois. He had come to Kansas to
look at it, expecting TO loc ate there, and
on his return was seized by the Missouri
thieves and hurried to the county Jail.
The day after his arrival he was taken
out, stripped and tied to post. The
iron whip. with its sharp knife edges and
dagger points, was produced. The Sher-
ff or his deputy, and other legal parties
were present. The unfortunate negro
was asked where his master lived, and
what that masters name was, and when
he ran away. In vain did the poor fellow
tell his story. 1t was received with oaths
and abuse, and he was told that kind
of style would not do" while the instru-
ment of torture was applied ferociously to
his naked back. Blood started from his
wounds. and the victim writhed and
shrieked in his agony. AT last there was
a cessation and the question

Tom, till he confesses'
Again the horrid SC enc was renewed.
l was in the Jail court-in the precincts
of justice, and the prisoners through the
CRATE could witness it. In agony the
writhing victim cried to them to tell him
what they wanted.
The questions were repeated, but the
immediate horrors being respited a little,
the trembling. bleeding victim hesitated
to repeat words that would consign him
to fate even more horrible than death.
Again torrent of profanity was poured
on him. He had fallen down, as the
cords had been somewhat loosened.
"Put him up! put him up! well
bring him to yet )" and the poor, crush
ed victim again was made to writhe un-
der the horrible torture. At last, almost
too faint to shrek, bleeding and weak,
the execution was once more stopped. and
questions asked.
"Who's your master?'
"Oh, anybody you like. -
Well, was it Mr.. Brown 20
