SCIENTIFIC CoNvENrIoN.-The men of
science completed their anniversary at
Newport on Wednesday. It's sessions seem
to have been pleasant and profitable, though
several Of the more prominent savans were
not present, and the social festivities which
graced their meeting at Springfield last
year were chiefly lacking. Next year they
test southern hospitality and will meet at
Nashville, Tenn. On the last day Of the
meeting the scientific deputation who went
to Labrador we're present. having returned
the previous day, and gave an interesting
account Of their observation of the late
eclipse Of the sun. The savans were en-
tertained with an exhibition of remarka.
bly, brilliant northern aurora on several
nights, aud during their session two bril-.
liant meteors were seen elsewhere, which
with that of July 20, gave them some food
for wonder in common with the common
people, and for any ancunt of ingenious
theorizing. The heavens have Of late
been unusually rich with brilliant and
startling phenomena, which if rightly stu
died should enlarge our conceptions of the
material universe and its autbor.

The Elections.

The election Of Combs in Kentucky is
no test of the relative strength Of the Un-
ion and Breckenridge parties. 1t seems to
be generally understood that Combs owes
his liberal majority more to his personal
popularity than to the actual numerical
strength Of bis party. 1t is thought he would
have been elected over the combined de-
mocracy. The Breckenridge men still ex-
press themselves confident of carrying the
state in November. The Union men arc
equally confident.
North Carolina is given over, hopelessly,
to Breckenridge. The Americans who
were looking so confidently to this old
Wing State for comfort, are sorely disap.
pointed at the result.
The Democrats-especially Douglas men
ARE appalled, at the Republican thunder
from the West. Blair's election takes
their old hulk between wind and water.
They recognize it as only specimen shot
of the broadside that is to sink the rotten
old craft next November. 1t is certainly
q most encouraging triumph. 1t shows
US that while Missouri may cast its vote
for the pro-slavery Democracy, the free
people Of the Great West are aroused, and
that We may expect unheard-of Republican
majorities being rolled up in the other west.

The VIRGINIA trip Of the Great Eastern
was successfully made, and the few pas
engers who ventured in her were treated
with extraordinary politeness and attention
as sort of atonement for the hard fare and
insolence that disgusted the cxcursionists to
Cape May. She now lies on exhibition in
Annapolis roads and is daily visited by
crowds. The victims of the first excursion
have discovered that there is an American
patent for the use of the combined side
wheel and screw on steamer, and that the
Great Eastern, though she might come here
with that arrangement, cannot legally nse
1t within our waters. They are therefore
seeking their revenge by means of suit
against the directors of the ship for an in
fringement of this patent, laying the dana
ges at $50, 000 But it is not likely that
the case will be allowed to come to trial at
all, parties will be cooler soon, and lawyers
bills will look more formidable than they dc
at present.

The DEATH OF THE EMPEROR OF CHINA is
rumOred. If it should prove true it may
delay the threatened. war or lead to pa
cifc solution of the questions at issue with
England and France. The present de.
mands Of England are most arrogant aud
unreasonable The residence of British
minister at Pekn might perhaps be conce-
ded, although contrary to all the national
prejudices, but the demand for the free
navigation of the Yang-tse-kiang in its
whole extent, and for the abolition Of du-
ties on goods iu transit through the couu-
try can never be submitted to until China
becomes virtually conquered province,
England might with just as much justice
demand Of US the free navigation Of the
Mississippi.

The AFFAIRS OF TURKEY approach a crisis.
The slaughter in Syria is stayed temporari-
ly at least, after the destruction of some
ten thousand Christians and twelve or ST.
teen hundred Druses. 1t is now well un-
derstood that the Christians we're the ag.
gressors. They are sort ofhybrid Catho
lies, under the influence Of the church Of
Rome in some degree, but retaining many
Of the Mohammedan notions and customs.
Under the instigation of the JeSuits they
had organized associations for the extermi-
nation of their old enemies, the Druses, and
we're collecting arms for that purpose, when
the DruseS, anticipated them, and so got
the advantage The Cbiristions made but
feeble resistance aud nearly q hundred vii.
lagos were burned and the crops of the pea
sents destroyed, and not less than sixty thou
sand Christians are now without shelter and
dependent upon charity for their daily bread
Their condition appeals loudly to the COM
passion Of Christendom, and the Catholics,
to whom they are most nearly related, and
by the folly and wickedness of whose emiSsa-
ries they have been exposed to this terrible
suffering, should not allow the Protestant
world to excel them in extending the nee
cssary relief The great powers, Russia D-
cluded, have agreed upon an effective inter
vention to secure peace aud good govern
ment in Syria henceforth, and in this enter.
prise France leads. 1t is well that the var.
ious powers are united in this, for the inter.
venton of Russia alone would have put the
| Greek church in the ascendant without Sc
curing tho rights of other religions, and
France alone wonld have given the same
preference to the Catholics. But England
and Prussia will of course see to it that the
| Protestants are also tolerated and protect
ed and that all are made equal before the
laws. The sultan Of Turkey has protested
vehemently against this intervention, but
his protest is very properly disregarded
since it is evident that his government did
nothing to stop the work Of blood in Syria
and can give no reliable security for the fu.
ture protection of any class Of citizens 1t
is evident that the great powers now have
the desired opportunity and justification fol
taking "the sick man" into their own keep
ing and administering on his effects, and w
may at least expect to see the Moslen
power driven from Europe and put under
due metes and bounds in Asia, so that i
may undergo its predestined process of gra
dual decay without endangering the peace
of the world.

Hos. JONI HUrcHNs, was ro-nominated BY
nociomation


II looks somewhat as IL the contest 10 the
South was to be between Breckenridge aud
Bel-DougOs being nowhere. 10 Alabama
Douglas has no strength, and the opposition to
Breckenridge is concentrated on Bell. Many
influential accessons to his side are recorded
recently, among them some OF the Delegates
to the Seceders' Democratic Convention.
The Richmond Enquirer, the leading Demo.
cratic organ, admits that Bell and Everett will
carry Virginia unless there is thorough and
cordial union Of the Democracy, and that is
almost. past hoping for. In Louisiana, great
efforts are being made by the Bell men. Bou-
lghny who declared for Douglas in Congress
last winter has gone over to Bell, among mspy
other supposed supporters Of Douglas. In
Georgia, the Bell men hold convention next
week to nominate on Electoral Ticket, which
they confidently claim will carry the state, and
in one Of the two Congressional Districts in
Arkansas, the Democrats have made bargain
TO vote for Bell in return for votes given their
Congressional candidate.
While, therefore, the Bell leaders at the north
are selling out to Douglas the Douglas men at
the south are selling out TO Bell. They ore trying
TO play into each others hands in both sections
but are doing it in such way as to defeat their
respective candidates in the most disadvantage.

DIssoLurIoX--A venerable, and on every
subject but politics, an intelligent friend Of
ours, in all respects a most worthy citizen,
but who belongs to that very select party,
who are filed with all sorts of dissolution
hallucinationS, said to us the other day, Il
cannot see how, if LINCOLN is elected, we
can prevent q dissolution of the Union"
There appeared to be no flap doodle about
it, the man seemed honestly to look with
apprehension upon the certain prospects Of
Mr.. Lncoln's election, as fraught with
equally certain ruin to the federal compact.
The gentleman is above a mere fitch, and
would not put on a mantle Of dissemblance
to cloak his honest views we therefore felt
no displeasure at the impeachment of our
common sense, or our patriotism, which his
lugubrious words implied, but felt little
Indignant, that there were no ready means
of reaching such scoundrels as the BroOkscs,
who are keeping alive such chimeras, and
disturbing the tranquility of many we'll
meaning folks, who read and believe their
tom-foolery, while they they are bartering
away the party to which such men are at
tached, for personal advantage and emolu-
ment. There cannot but be a fearful amount
Of guilt attached to the skirts of that man,
who can make gain out of the fears and
mental disquietuds of well disposed and
patriotic men.

POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY, AND ITS HERO
takes such scathing as such impositions
deserve, at the hands of HORACE GREELEY,
in an article which we have copied into the
outside of this paper, from the N. Y. Iads
pendent, which should not be neglected or
overlooked by single reader. The incon.
gruity and hoIlowness Of the swiHdIe which
the Little Giant has, and is attempting to
juggle into favor, is so palpable and bold,
that no man who reads with mind open
to conviction, can fail to appreciate and
despise, and turn his back upon. Read the
article headed, "Mr. Douglas and his Can
Vass."

TExAs.-It is not yet clear how mncb
the Texas conspiracy amounts to. The
committee of vigilance profess to have OBJ
tanned testimony while in secret session,
from the negroes, showing widespread
conspiracy, instigated by white men, to
murder the shareholders and make an es-
cspade either to Kansas or Mexico with
their movable property. But these com
mittees themselves are engaged in con-
spiracy for the expulsion of abolitionists
from Texas, and it is reasonable to suppose
that they have exaggerated, if they have
not largely invented. 1t is possible, how
ever, that some John Brown man has been
doing kansas work in northern Texas.
The hanging of four white men and eight
or ten negroes at Dallas indicates the in.
tensity of popular alarm and evaporation,
and further disturbances will be very likely
TO follow.

Tnr News rnon sIclLY NAFIrs within

THE News FRon Sicily NAfLEs within
the week has quite changed the aspect Of af
fairs. King Bombs has evidently given up
all hope Of reclaiming Silly, and Gudng
that he will need all his available resources
to repress revolution at home, has recalled
his troops from Messipa, thus giving Carl
bOldi the undsputed control Of the whole
island. The Increased uneasiness and pop

that Garibaldi may have an opportunity
soon TO lead his 6libusters Of freedom to the
main land, and there have been rumors that

fact seems to be that he awaits both the re-
suits of the diplomatic negotiations going on
between France, Sardinia, and Naples, and
snch demonstration on the part of the Nea-
| politans themselves as will show that they
would welcome his aid in a revolution
There is no doubt that Garbaldi's grand
scheme contemplates the successive revolu
tionizing of Naples, Rome, aud Venetia.
Victor Emanuel cannot openly support thi,
scheme, and how far he will do il secretly
it is impossible to tell. But the fact that
large reinfOrcements are still allowed to &c
