The Bones Of an Unknown Animal.

A gentleman in blasting rock in sink-hole
about mile from McGaheysville in Rocking
ham county, for the purpose of getting water,
made an opening which admitted his entrance
into cavern, in which he found the skull and
leg bone of an animal which belonged to a spe-
cies which is now extinct in this country, and
which, it is supposed, does not exist at this Pc
possibly TO species which existed at that re-
mote geological period when this lovely valley
now teeming with population was covered with
the waters OF vast ocean.
The size of the skull and leg bone shows that
it was large animal, and the articulations Of
the leg bono indicate that tLat limb was not
thrown directly forward as is the case with land
quadrupeds, but that it was used laterally after
the manner of the creeping monsters of the deep
The latter part of the head is very long pro.
portionably-has an elevated process in the di-
rection of its length-and seems to have been
covered with very thick skin like that of q
crocodile. But the character of its teeth, and
the fact that it had tusks inserted in the same
manner and locality as that which characterize
the elephant, negative the idea of its belonging
to the alligator or crocodile species. To wha,
species the animal belonged2 at which period it
lived? and how it got into cavern the entrance
to which, before it was increased by q blast
would not admit the body of a boy, are 'ques-
tions which stand for answers" Skilful COM
parative anatomists and learned biologists may
be able to answer them, but we cannot.
It may be that the head and leg were dragged
into the cavern by some smaller animal which
had been devouring the carcass of the larger one
whose bones are now the objects of such interest
This theory is probably the true one, as it &C.
counts not only for the presence of the bones in
the cavern, but for the fact that no more have
been found. ''There are more things in Heaven
and earth, Horatio, than are ever dreamed of in
your philosophy"

A Democratic Editor Suited by Wings.
Messrs. Kemper & Holbrook, the Proprietors
of the Woollep Factory in Port Republic, having
presented the Editor of the buckingham Reg
lister" with nice suit of cloth manufactured by
them, the Editor, in acknowledging the gift, says
"Little did we expect, years ago, when level
ing our batteries at the political errors and her
esis of ''the Gibraltar of Whiggery in Rocking
ham," that that locality would ever lead the
way in the matter of enterprise and true South
ern independence. Yet such is the fact. He1
numerous and striking advantages are turned
actively to good account.
"We point proudly to the example set by
Port-Republic ia the establishment OF her insti
tutions OF domestic industry, as an example
worthy of imitation and of all commentator
an example that will secure to any people per.
sonal independence, however erroneous theil
political sentiments and opinions may be-"
The suit ed Editor need feel no surprise thai
the "Gibraltar of Whiggery in Rockingham
should "lead the way in the matter of enterprise
and true Southern Independence" for they are
but illustrating on a small scale what they would
do on much larger, if Democrats would only
be as well suited with Wing principles as they
seem to be with a suit of Wing cloth, for ther
they would be enabled to secure not only "trut
Southern Independence" of Yankeedom, but ma
tionaz independence of "al the world and the
rest of mankind" How would it suit the newly
dressed Editor of the "Register" to see "Brothe
Jonathan" dighteG in suit of Wing princi
pies? Until Wing principles be adopted il
practice we can have no hope of true Nationa
Independence. AS in I776 so we hope it vii
be in 1860, the glad tidings of a redeemed natlor
will be heralded by national Bell.

What every may be the position of the
Democratic party, Republicans believe
that labor is honorable and should be re
warded. They believe that=the Terrific
ries are Of right free and should be kept
free for the benefit of laboring men,
This is the position Of Hon. JOHN
CAREY. He has done as much to
build up tie solied interests of this coun-
try, as any man in it. While Mr.. Noble
has been sitting costly in his Office, pour
ing over his books, irving to get his client
out of some bad scrape by some techaic-
allty Of law Judge Carey has been in the
field plowing the soil, building fences,
grazing cattle and raising wheat, corn
and potatoes.
Besides, Mr.. Noble believes with Doug.
las that slavery can go into all the terri
tories and he "don'k care whether s1acers
is voted up or doaln'' He endorses H. v
Johnson for Vice President, who says
that CAPITAL SHOULD OWN LABnR.--ITHn

Suit for Libel.

We learn from the Wyandot Pionse,
that warren p. Noble, Esq, the Demo
cratic candidate for Congress in that
District, has sued its editor for libel Law
ing his damages at $4,000. The libel
consists in his repu ub|ishing frcm tie re.
port of Messrs. Morgan, Edgerton and
Remelin, some statement relative 10 the
Breslin> Gibson defalcation. If Mr.. No
BILE was libeled he should have commenc-
ed proceedings against the Treasury
invest gators who made tie charge, rath- :
er than against a Republican editor who
repeated it. Mr. Noble is engaged in a
very small business, and we doubt very
nue., whether the people of the Seneca
district will indorse by their votes, man
who seems disposed to prosecute an eds
to for republshing charges officially
made by his own party.--O. s. Joarnnl

Douglas fully comedies to Shareholders
the Right to take their Slaves into the
Territories.
Douglas, in his recent speech in
Petersburg, Virginia, used the following:
"You are told that portion Of the
Democratic party wish to deprive you
of the right of moving to the territory
with your property an holding it, on
an equality with other citizens. l want
to say to you that so far as my knowl-
edge extends, do not know of any one
Democrat in all America, who is suppor-
ting the regular organization Of the party
who does not concede equality of rights
in the territories to all the states. For
one, ! affirm that equality, aod intend to
maintain il at all hazards and every wherc
You have the same right under the Con-
stilution, to go and carry your property
into the territories that | have mine
You have the same right to carry your
slaves, or your cattle, or your horses,
that | have to carry any property that |
possess"
Now, yc, Sauatter Sovereignty Draw
lers, if the Constitution OF the United
States guar antees to the STAKEHOLDER the
right to take his slave property into the
territories upon the same footing with your
horses and cattle, might not territorial
legislature legislate your horses and cat
tie out of the territory with as much pro-
prie,y as it would legislate slaves out
How are you going to deprive any man Of
rights that are guaranteed to him by the
Constitution Of the United States where
do you get your rower to do so.
Fellow citizens Go you believe with Mr..
Douglas thatthe Constitution OF the United
States guarantees TO the STAKEHOLDER the
right to introduce the system of slavery
into our free territories, or do you believe
with tho Republican party that slavery
cannot exist anywhere under the Consti-
tuition in the absence of postirc local
law
