her age.

UNoRGANIzED TERRToMEs.-The South has
entered into regular crusade against any
more free States or Territories. The Senate
under the control of the South, refused to ad-
NIT Kansus because it is free State. But
besides Kansas, we have four Territories, which
the South has persistently refused to have Or
ganized as such These four are: Dakotah :;
Idabo or Pixies Peak Arizona Washoe, or
Carson Valley. The refusal to organize these
Territories, in which the inhabitants are griev-
ously suffering from want of legal govern
ment is because they are likely to come in as
free States, and thus the balance of the power
which the South now holds in the nation be
destroyed There is nothing that so fully de-
monstrates The existence of the irrepressible
confic: between freedom and slavery than this
refusal of the South to concede common Justice
to the North. The South knows that when
this justice is conceded, her political power in
the confederacy is lost, and that freedom will
then be the rule and slavery the exception in
these United States.

THE CASE OF ELLIS B. ScHNABEL.-On Fri
day Of last week in Washington city, the Ad-
ministration endeavored to force the trial OF
Mr.. Schnabel for beating Gen. Bowman, but
did not succeed The defendant obtained a
postponement of the trial until December next,
owing to the absence of important witnesses.
The unquestioned object of the administration
was to get Mr.. Schuabel into Jail, by an
immediate trial, in order too keep him out Of
the Presidential canvass. Mr. Bradley the
counsel of Mr.. Schnabel so stated, substantial,

The GREAT METEOR ON FRIDAY NIGHT -
The of Friday night was everywhere through
out this State and throughout New England New Jer.
sey and New York 1t is in fact chroniccd in nearly
every exchange paper that has reached since II
certainly visible over track thousand miles in length
ard five hundred in width and perhaps still larger
one It's size and distance be computed with any
accuracy until know the distant points at which
it visible. As it in full view at Boston and
Newport it must have also been from the Ocean
We shall have to await the arrival of vessels from be-
fore knowing how far East it visible: How far
West South and North it could be seen we shall soon
learn from the mails. All sorts of wild statements
put FORTH one authority asserting that it two hun
dred feet high another thirty forty miles, another
several thousand miles. When the extreme points at
which it was observed are known its height and size
can be computed The exact height of the meteor may
not at first thought, important, yet in reality it
involves the whole theory to the nature of these phe
nomena. The commonly received scientific opinion is
that they solid bodies moving in space, which take
fire coming in contact with the Earths atmosphere
and are either consumed or else exnguished by pass
ing out of it, But this theory requires that all meteOrs
shall be within fifty miles of the EARTH since the atmos
phcre extends higher. II meteors are proved 10 be
more than fifty miles high some other theory must be
devised to account for them The present case there
fore, affords excellent opportunity to test this ques
ton.
All the descriptions to the appearance of
the meteor, which seems to have presented precisely
the same aspect wherever There is discrepan
cy, however, to its final disappearance, ayow-
ing it to have been silent, others that it was accom-
panied by explosion. This point is worthy of care
full examination. The precise time of its observation at
its different points, if compared, may throw light
on its distance and speed. Scientific men will do well
to make the most of this Meteor of such magni
tude and aordng such facilities for investigation hard
ly occurs twice in a lifetime.

-Four DAYS LATER From ElRopE.-By III.
arrival OF the steamship City Of Washington
off Cape Race, Friday morning, we are pu
IN possession of advices from Europe four DAYS
later than those previously received. The
news is unimportant. The British Govern.
ment was reported to have received informs.
tlon that fearful massacre of Christians had
taken place at Damascus, in which FIVE hmm.
dred of them had been killed, including
the Dutch Consul The American Consul wa,
also reported to have been wounded Full
particulars had not come to hand. From Ma.
pies, We learn that Notwithstanding the Iats
steps towards concession taken by the King
the people refused to be satisfied. Thc ctr
was in d highly excited state. Patrols were
constantly traversing the streets, and every
one was full of apprehension A dispatch
via Turin, dated the I7th, asserts that con
aict had taken place between the troops and
the people, in which several persons were kill
ed. The King had dismissed bis Ministry. and
formed a new Cabinet. We have NOTHING
further relative to the movements Of GarbsI.

New JERSEY PoIIrics-The first important
movement of this campaign, involving tho Sc
lection Of an electoral ticket was made on
Wednesday at Trenton, where the auti-Rcpub
Iicaus of every name gathered in separate or
Joint Conventions 1t was very carnival of
fusion and confusion. Three electoral tickets
were nominated. One Convention called by
the Democratic State Committee, consisted of
42O supporters Of Breckenridge and l20 sup
porters of Douglas. This body nominated
fusion ticket, consisting of three Breckenridge
men, three Bell men, and one so-called Doug
las man if the vote of the State will elect
any one Of the three candidates than all these
electors are to go for him ; if not they are to
vote as they please, provided that in no event
are they to vote for Lincoln Next the Bell
and Everett Convention, which nominated a
full ticket, including the three Bell men on the
fusion ticket, and giving the State Committee
power to fill vacancies. Finally, there was
Straight Douglas Convention, called by the
New Jersey members of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. Here full Douglas ticket
was nominated, not including the so-called
Douglas man on the fusion ticket.

REPUBICAYIsM AT WASHINGTON The spe-
cial correspondent of the n. Y. Times writing
from Washington, says: A large number
of Southern people travelling northward are
now this city, and they express universal as
tonishment at the strength Of Republican SEN
timent in the Capital, and its toleration in a
Southern city. They are frankly informed
that there is some doubt about its being a
Southern city any logger that Republicans
Claim their intention to simply convert it into
free national city. There is no doubt that
q rapid revolution is taking place in the sen.
timents of the population of Washington, as
it becomes better acquainted with Republi-
canism"
