 ANOTHER WoNpER.-A most magnificent cave has been discovered in El Dorado County, California. Several large rooms were found in it, several hundred feet in length by nearly as many broad, and a lake, the extent of which is as yet unknown.

 The latest pictorial indignity offered MT. Lincoln is perpetrated by the Miwau- kee Sentinel, paper which is avowedly one of his warmest supporters. This journal heads it's editorial column with diabolically ugly picture, and calls it Abraham Lincoln. No better plan could be adopted for defeating that gentleman's election. Though his private character were proven to be that of saint, few would be disposed to vote for man who looked so like the devil.

SIGNIFICANT FAcr.-At the time the nomination of Douglas and Fitzpatrick was made. we beg our readers to remem- Der, only fourteen out of thirty-three States were represented in the Douglas Conven- ton, and two of those fourteen by bogus delegations, representing meager mlnorl- ties in the States which they misrepresent- ed. These nominations, therefore, where the delegations were genuine, represent the non- Democratic, Black Republican States. All the regular Democratic States retired.

 CHANGE IN THE CHANNEL.-It is said that the current of the river is sitting Tn quite strong at the point two or three miles above Helena, with every prospect of coming down this shore. And its said that bar has formed opposite the "Prairie." Agreeable to the laws which seem to govern the great Mis- sissippi, if this bar should prove permanent for any term of years, it must have the effect of throwing the water on the other shore about the mouth of Old River--reacting, it must then come down the shore, "clean out" the bar opposite Helena, and bring the main channel to the very doors, as it were, of the business houses on Front Row.-[ Helena Shield.

 LIFE OF LINcoLN.-The telegraph had barely finished the announcement of the nomination of Old Abe Lincoln, at Chi cago, when his life and services were issued from the press at one dollar copy. Somebody who has read the pamphlet, gives the substance of 1t as follows: Old Abe is born. He suffers from teething and a bad "nuss." He deserts said /" nuss," and with spirit astonishing in an infant, leaves his home with an ax on his shoulder for Illinois. While yet at a tender age, he becomes midshipman on a fatboat, and distinguished himself. He deserts the service, fllngs his commission to the wind, again shoulders his ax. and commences his career as "ral-mauer., 7, He casts his lot with one as celebrated as himself, named Hanks. He feels the in- spiralon of his talent, spits upon rail split lng, tears himself from Hanks, and turns lawyer. He is just budding into man. hood. An extraordinary convulsion of nature casts him into the State Legisla- lure. A still more extraordinary convul- sion lands him in Congress, where he denounces the Mexican war, opposes the American soldiers. and got his maieage. He goes home and is driven into obscurity by an indignant constituency. He is picked out to run at the head of the aboll- tion machine for President, and anxiously awaits the result.

INTERESTING SCENE. - We clip the following from the Baltimore correspon. dence of the Cincinnati Enquirer:
 MT. Walker, of Alabama, Chairman of the Committee on permanent Organiza- ton, appeared and reported The first name was that of Hon. Caleb Cushing of Massachusetts, as President This was received with applause that reminded me of Chcago-hats and handkerchiefs were waved all around the great circle of the galleries. and over the heads of the crowd upon the floor. A committee was ap- pointed to wait upon MT. Gushing. The committee did not have to proceed far to flnd that gentleman, and in few minutes were seen escorting him down the long passage, fenced from the multitude with setlees leading from the door to the seats reserved for the delegates and the plat form. Cusling's person has, during his presidency over the deliberations of the Convention, become very we'll known. He was therefore instantly recognized by hundreds, and his fomiiar blue coat and brass buttons, his Websterian garments and C@sarlan head, were hailed with ex- traordinary exclamation. He marched through lane of yelling Soulherners-- hats whiring and handkerchlefs waving over his head, while the occupants of the galleries leaned forward and shouted and clapped their hands, swung their hats, hulter handkerchiefs, and as he mounted the platform, Mr. Russell, of Virginia, took him by the hand the Convention and crowd gave him three cheers, and MT. R. mentioned that he " resumed" his seat as Chairman of the National Demo- cratic Convention.
