consequent upon the election of Lincoln

SINGULAR PHENoMEroN.-M. Babinet. of
the Parish Observatory has advanced before
the Academy of Sciences the singular propo-
sition that in all rivers left to themselves, it
is invariably the right bank that is washed
by aoods-that is to say. it is the right bank
which suffers the most friction and the most
destruction. He explains this by the direc-
ton and force of the earth's rotations. His
contractors at the Academy admit that this
may. be true Of rivers running north and
south, but they deny the principle for those
which run east and west, in the direction OF
the earth's rotation. Mr.. Babinet contends
that even here the friction OF the right bank
is slightly greater than that of the lett. Will
some American professor take the trouble
to reply to the French astrometers PROPOSE
ton? For it is especially in America that
it can be proved or d;sapproved by actua:
observation.

A Funny PAEsoN.-Parson Brownlow, OF
the West Tennessee Wing, who is in the
habit of speaking his mind freely, is perhaps
as free spoken as ever he was in reference to
the attitude Of the South Americans and De-
mocrats in Congress. He saws:
We of course will not advise Southern OPP
position members what to do, believing them
competent to preserve their own self-respect
and to discharge a sworn duty to their coun-
try and their constituents. but were we a
member Of the Southern Opposition In Con-
gress, before we would occspy the paItry and
contemplate attitude Of creeping after a par
ty that had spurned us by its deliberate act
we would see the Capitol Of the nation, and
all the territory north aud south Of it, sunk to
eternal peIdition. Nay, we would see all
the political organizations in America as far
in hell as a pidgeon could fly in a Thousand
years, or a forge hammer would fall in twice
that length Of time! Sooner than thus de-
grade ourselves, under a pretense Of battling
for the homes and rights Of our children, we
would see them all starve to death, and then
seat ourselves upon their retfns wiM a South
ern gentleman, and play push pin for a drink Of
lager beer!

Hon. EDWARD EvERErr.-The Memphis
Bulletin, of the 23d inst, says that a number
of Memphis citizen have in contemplation an
early meeting, with a view of bringing pro-
minently before the country that sterling New
England patriot, Hon. Edward Everett, as
a suitable person to be chosen by the peo-
pie for the next President of the United
States" The Bulletin says:
We know of no individual who would bet
ter or more faithfully discharge the high func-
tions of that exalted office. We know OF
none whose nure patriotism, and sound con-
servatism of principles and sentiments, would
afford a surer guarantee that under his adj
min'strat'on the country might look for
peace, quiet, and justice TO all sections. He
is one Of the old stamp Of honest meE, who
would " know no worth, no South, no Fast,
no West,' administering the Government, but
would be equally faithful to all sections. in
maintaining the constitutional rights of all.

day for the Republic when such a man should
be made Chief Magistrate. Is
