nal, after copying the report Of Judge Ranneys
"scuthing and bIistering" speech at the Garfield
Fugitive Law "Indignation Meeting in 1850,
as given from the .Ndhoning Indcr in various
state papers, portinently remarks:
When Judge Ranney at Cleveland denied
fatty that he had ever denounced the fugi-
tive slave law as unconstitutional, probably
he had forgotten his former sentiments aud
his former bCldness in declaring his prn-
ciples, for we presume be will not question
this evidence, and no one would suspect
man of Judge Ranuey's eminence aud char
acter, of attempting to cover up his former
sentiments by falsehood Forgetfulness of
mere incidents and circumstances is not q
serions charge against any man but when
public man can not only forget these, but
displays the same fatnity in forgetting all
his political principles, principles Of politics,
too, which are SO based on moral sentiments
as his Indignation against the fugitive law
then was-when he can entirely forget ev-
cry sound principle that he held in his ma
ture years, and allow himself to be used for
a party emergency, on platform directly
the opposite of those sentiments which have
given him character and eminence in Ohio,
how can he have the assurance 10 again ask
the confidence Of the people ? 1t was the
Judge Ranney Of l84S and 1850 that the
people honored. The present Judge Ran
ney is not even the counterfeit presenlment
of that man /; he is the very opposite in ev-
cry respect. II the Judge Ranney who de-
mandcd that Congress should prohibit the
extention Of slavery over another foot Of
territory, when he ran for Congress in l848,
who denounced the fugitive slave law us uu-
constitutional and Infamous in 1850, who
acquired the respect of the people and emf
nent position in the State by these princi-
pies, who was a leading member Of the Con
stitutonal COnveHtion in 1850, and Judge
of Supreme Court in lS53-if he was the
true, then the present Judge Rauney, who
has allowed himself to be used as mere clay
to stop the wind out Of the Democratic pro.
slavery, fugitive slave law platform Of 1869,
is false spectre and is utterly destitute OF
any claims to the confidence of the people.
CALIFORNIA ELECTIoN-The State election
in California has resulted, like all former elec.
tions in that State in the triumph of the Pro-
Slavery party. The advices just at hand by
the overland mail indicate the election of the
bulk of the Buchanan State and Legislative
tickets by very large plurality over the dvid-
ed Opposilon-a result that has been newt
able since the failure of the Republicans and
Anti-Lecompton Democrats TO unite. On Tues
day of nert week, elections will be held in the
States of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa,
Minnesota.

OYsTER BED.-A large bed OF oysters--quue
piaesr--hss been discovered near the centre
Of the Sound in line bearing from the Nor
walk to the Eaton's Neck Light, and that IL is
about mile wide and some two miles in length.
Others saythat the leugth and width are much
greater. The discovery was made by some
fishermen, about two weeks since. They en-
deavored to keep the matter secret at FIRST, but
their labOrs in dredging, soon attracted notice,
One Of their number not being able or disposed
to aid his comrades in securing the articles, re-
ceved $500 cash. for pointing out the locality
of the bed to other parties. The oysters are
said TO be very Eve, and hundreds of bushels
are gathered by a single boat in single day
Fishermen along the coast are much excited In
the matter 1t is like the discovery Of a new
mine in California, and, perhaps, it is quite oI
as much Importance The Gazette says they
are as large as a garden spade.

The Transatlantic Balloon,

The arrangements making by Mr. La Noun
tain for the manufacture Of the balloon which
he intends to cross the Atlantic are rapidly
progressing to completion. The twine from
which the network is to be made has been
fin shed at the rope and cordage mandatory
ut the Dam, and is believed to he the most
complete article Of the kind ever made in this
country. 1t had been the intention of Mr.. LA
Mountain to build the balloon at Lancaster,
Pa, the home of Mr.. Wise. Recently, how
ever, offers have been made to introduce him
to do the work here, and he has it now in con-
temptation to procure large room at some
convenient location, and proceed with the
work. He has not, as yet, fully determined
upon this point Mr.. 0 p Gager, of Boston,
proprietor of the bennington Pottery, who
has been connected with Mr. La Mountain in
this enterprise from its inception, and who has
the fullest confidence in its success, has made
selection of a superior quality of India silk,
which will probably be employed in the man
ufacture of the balloon. Mr.. Elisha Waters,
of this city, is engaged in getting up an appar-
atus for maintaining the different degrees Of
latitude without swasting gas or discharging
ballast, which is to be attached to the car
The enterprise begins to. assume tangible

Scene i'm a Norwich Church.

A private letter from friend in Nor
wich contains the following amusing anec-
dote ......- ... -.....
:" | must tell you good joke, with which
all Norwich is ringing. Sunday before last
the Baptists were to havea grand celebration;
quite number of persons were to be baptiz-
ed, not in the river, but in large pool sunk
IN the hoor of the church under the pulpit,
winch Is on wheels and capable of being rolled
away. 1t was an extraordinary occasion. and
the house was crowded with, Episcopalans,
Congegationalists and Methodsts, as we'll as
with the Baptists themselves. The opening
services were gone through with the pulpit roi.
away, and the minister, with one of the dele
gates, approached the pool and commenced
descending the steps. Suddenly they paused
then held a hurried consultation, made re-
treat, and it was announced that the ceremo-
ny would be postponed till evening. The
rest of the services were gone through with
by an audience more diverted than edited,
for, before the service was ended, the whole
congregation learned that the pool was full. of
dirty soap sudS, and various were the surlnis-

the day it leaked out that the Sexton had TAX

A Ghastly Experiment.

A simple and inexpensive experiment, and
one that is often shown in the Coliseum and
Polytechnic Institution, illustrates the effect
of yellow ray. Spirits of wine poured on
teaspoontul ofcommon salt in vial, we'll shak-
en-, and then put on to lamp cotton or tow and
ignited, will burn with peculiar colored
fame giving out purely yellow rays This
mysterious effect changes the appearance of
all hues-rosy cheeks turn CHASTITY palc-red
cap ribbons become black-in fact, everything
appears different to what it does by the white
light we are familiar to and of all things, the
human face undergoes the greatest change
Very young children should not be shown
this experiment for there will be laughing
lips and dazzling eyes, yet they are of such
an unearthly color that old friends would ap-
pear with new faces, and a child would scarce
ly know its own mamma

More "ChiValry.3

The Monroe Wis, Sentinel, in its last issue,
gives the following illustration of the hu-
manizing and chivalric influence of Slave
ry: -- .
1t seems that Mrs. Olive Thompson, a rela-
tive of Henry Thompson, ESQ.,, of this village,
was sojourning in Aiken, North Carolina, for
the purpose of restoring to health an invalid
daughter. While there she indulged in cores
pondence with his friends, as usual, and
took occasion to speak of the institution of
slavery as it fell under her observation. One
OF these letters sent to friend in the State
of New Holk-was published in the village
paper, and by some means found its way to
Aiken, n. G. The paper arrived at IL o'clock
was given to the p. M.-as the custodian ot
the ''insitution,' We suppose-and by two
o'clock a mob had gathered about the jadv,s
boarding house, hooting and yelling like n.
carnate devils. Mrs. T.-like a true woman
Acknowledged herself To be the author of
the communication, (Which was without siu.
nature whcreupon these gentlemen ri ave

town, and forbade her landlady to harbor

Thus was she-unprotected, for they would
not give time for her husband to come for her

daughter. She proceeded as best she could,
to Virginia, where she stopped to wait the
arrival OF ner friends.
We know that it is customary, on the part
of Northern Democrats to snecr at all sr,ch
cases of outrageous insult and oppression as
Republican hes, but that dodge will avail
them nothing in the present Instance. Mrs. r
has a large circle of relatives and acouaintan.
ces in this country, who will vouch for her
responsibility and honesty. The outrage. we
have briefly noticed, must be taken as the
natural operation of a devlish system that
shuns free press or free speech as a bat does

rage, committed in violation Of every law of
right, Justice and chivalry-a tit episode in

Minnesota, now vested in the above named
Companies, 4,4s1 $50 acres but upon two
OF the routes designated, from La Crescent
by the Root river valley to Rochester, to be
constructed by the Southern Minnesota Com
pany, and the Faribault branch, line to the
Iowa boundary, to be CONSTRUCTED by the
Minneapolis and Cedar Valley Company, there
is deficiency of lands. The act of Congress-
contains provision, 'that the lands hereby
lthereby] granted for and on account of said
roads and branches, seuerally, shall be exclu-
slvely applied in the construction of that road
for and on account of which such lands are
hereby thereby granted" and, accordingly.
the Secretary of the Interior has decided ad-
versely to the claim of the Minneapolis and
Cedar Valley Railroad Company, to make up
the deficiency of lands resulting from settle
ments along the line of the. road, by sharing
the lands which may be found beyond Man
kato on the route of the Minnesota Valley
road, of which the Faribault road is a branch.
Hopes are entertained that this construction
may not be persisted in at Washington, or
may be reversed by judicial intervention
For the present, however, and guided by it,
the Commissioner estimates the lands accru-
ing to the Minneapolis and Cedar Valley Rail-
road Company at an aggregate of 10000
acres, or 1889 acres per mile The Root
river road may secure the same relative uuan-
tity, between La Crescent and Rochester.
The remaining routes from Saltwater to
Breckenridge, from St. Anthony to St. Vincent
or Pembina, from St. Paul and St. Anthony
through the valley of the Minnesota river,
and from Winona to the Big Sioux Wood
river below 45 degs.-theser routes, while
submitting to deficiencies of lands near their
eastern termini, are projected beyond the pre-
sent line of settlements, and will thus be ena-
bled within the 80 mile belt d5 miles each
way) to make up their full compliments
although in Northern Minnesota, the title of
the Minnesota and Pacific Railroad Company
cannot be perfected until the Indian title is
extinguished east of the Red River of the
North and from the Wild Rice river to the
International boundary.
From present Indications therefore, the
Land Grant will probably be adjusted as fol-
lows.

THE WHEELS OF LIFE.

sat beside cottage hearth.
A wheel was standing near;
4 little infant whirled It round,
Then started back in fear
Methought the mystic wheel of life
Was whirled by that fair child,
And first the ever-lengti,ened cord
Was on the spindle piled.
Time stealing near the clicking reed,
Was counting of the chain;
And every month he tied knot
And every year 4 skein.
At first the thread WAS smooth and white
No spot or wrinkle there;
For innocent the wheel did turn,
For life's immortal heir.
Soon coarser grew the rolling thread,
Uneven grew the skein;
And passion with its crimson dye,
Began to leave its stain.
And louder yet the spindle whirled,
And quick the wheel went round;
And fast upon the spool of life,
Her thread the spindle wound.

BY EPES SARGENT.
The camp has had its day of song;
The sword, the bayoaent, the plume,
Have crowded out OF rhyme too long,
The plow, the anvil, and the loom
On, not upon our tented fields
Are freedoms heroes bred alone;
The training of the workshop yields
More heroes true than war has known.
Who drives the bolt, who shapes the steel,
May with Il heart as valiant snite
As he who sees foeman reel
In blood before his blow of might;
The skill that conquers space and time,
That graces life, that lightens toll,
May spring from courage more sublime
Than that which makes realm its spoil.
Let labor, then, look up and see
His draft no pith of honor lacks;
The soldiers rifle yet shall be
Less honored than the woodman's axe;
Let art his own appointment prize,
Nor deem that gold or outward light
Can compensate the worth that lies
In tastes tnat breed their own delight.
And may the time draw nearer still,
When man this sacred truth snail heed,
That from the thought aut from the will
Must Iii ;.iit raises man proceed;
Thou Il pride may hold our calling low,
F"" us shall duty maze it good;

Till lille and death are understood.

Mistake at q Funeral.

About the end of last month the following
singular mistake was made at Dole, France:
Two persons had died at the hospitable of
that town, and were to be buried at the same
time. The deceased were a young girl and
soldier Of the garrison. Both coffins being
placed along side of each other, they were so
coniounded that the young girl was accom-
panied to her last home by platoon of dra-
goons, with military honors, while the young
soldier, covered with white pail of flowers,
pious embems of purity and innocence, was
borne on four feminine shoulders, and follow
cd by procession of. young ladies reciting
prayers.
