Why THIS AGITATION i-WELL PUT.--
There is nothing so unwise, so unnecessary,
so fraught with damage to the Union, says
the Albany Journal---according to our
Democratic friends--as the agitation of
the Slavery question. Yet they are doing
nothing, day in and day out, but agitate
the Slavery question.
Why ,OM they persist in keeping up agi-
tation on this exciting topici Why can
not they let the country, which was at
peace, remain at peacel Why do they
thus recklessly imperil our glorious Union
Do they know that the slavery question
has been settled9 Do they know that j,
has been finally settledi They have urged
this very point for years, every one Of them
from President down to tide-waiier. Yet
now they will not let it stay settled, but
dig it up and devote their whole time to it.
We should like to be informed on two
points: lst. Whether the Black Repub.
licans are responsible for this agitation D.
2dly. Why Democracy does not practice
what it breaches!

HUMBoLDr's op1N1oN OF THE US1rEl

HUMBoLDT's OPINION OF THE UNITED
STATES AND THE AMERICAN DEMocRAcY.-
Humboldt, in his private letters, just pub
lished, is severe upon the United States,
which he regarded as having betrayed the
cause Of freedom in its dvotion to slavery.
He said:
In the United States there has it is true,
arisen great love for me, but tho whole
there presents to my mind the sad specta-
Gle of liberty reduced to mere mechan-
ism in the element of utility; exercising
little ennobling or elcvating influence upon
mind and soul, which, after all, should be
the aim of political liberty. Hence indif
ference on the subject Of slavery. But the
United States are Cartesia vortex, carry
ing everything with them, grading every,
thing to tho level of monotony.
Again, speaking of the success of the
Democrats in 1856, he remarks:
And the disgraceful party which sells ne.
gro children, and distributes canes of honol
as the Russian Emperor does swords of hon
or, and Graefe's noses of hOnor-who would
prove that all white workmen should rather
be slaves than free--have succeeded

SINGULAR GEOLOGICAL Discoveries

SINGULAR GEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES
Among the freshest and most interesting Of
scientific topics, are certain facts concerning
which our geologists are in state of sur
prise and excitement, so much so that an
extraordinary meeting of the Geological
Society was held to discuss the matter
One is the discovery of flint implements
knives and xe-heads-near Amiens, at the
bottom of gravel, and from 10 to 25 feet
below the surface. The things have been
found in situ-some by English geologists,
where there is no appearance of the gravel
ever having been previously disturbed
and what is moro remarkable, in spot
which forms the top of the hill. The i'm
plements are in great numbers, and the
conclusion is, that they testify to the exist
ence of man on the earth anterior to that
commonly supposed, thus confirming SINH
lar conclusions drawn from the discoveries
in the Brixham Cave, and elsewhere. The
other fact is one which we have heretofore
incidentally mentioned-the exploration o
the cave, Grotto di Maccagnone, near Pa
lermo, by DR.. Falconer, where bones of ex
tinct species were found in large quantities
along with fragments of charcoal, and knives
Of flint and agate in great numbers, imbed
ded in tho breccia. The importance o
this discovery may be judged of from th'
fact that the hippopotani appears to hav'
swarmed the spot. Of the bone known t.
anatomists as the astralagus, DR.. Falcone
picked up nearly hundred examples with
in tho space Of a few feet, and this bono j
so easy of Identification as to leave no room
for doubt. The existence of the bones ha
long been known to the natives, who hav
at times taken from the ancient stone Il
burn into ivory black, but this is the frs
scientific investigation that has been mad

Welef Cleveland this A. M., At F;30,--
Fell in with several editors from this State
and Michigan. The country from CIeve.
land for fifty miles, is about like the West
eru Reserve; sandy and gravelly, rolling,
and pretty streams running through. Az
Newburg, where the Lunatic Asylum Is lc-
Gated, is one Of tho most beautiful and pic
turesque places. The Asylum is locatedou
high bluff, with commanding view:
mountain stream falls in little cascades over
the rocks in ten to fifteen feet pitches until
it reaches its level. The old mill stands
out in the picture prominently. The road
is abL ndant with beautiful views. Thetrack
winds around the base Of the hills, some Of
them towering up to height Of one totwo
hundred feet; rocky and craggy. Here at
Welsville we are opposite the Pan Handle,
which is the strip of Virginia soil running
up between Ohio and Pennsylvania, and is
only about six miles wide. From the Ohio
river tho town is about 20 rods wide; then
the mountain rises up 200 or 800 feet, and
as beautiful as picture. had no idea Of
the beautiful views on the line Of this road.
Looking over to the Virginia shore, the
hills rise in magni6cence, crowned with
beautiful trees to their SUBMITS, though
they are not so high as on the Ohio side.
There was terrible railroad smash up At
this place on Tuesday. A bridge broke
down with freight train. Tender car and
locomotive passed over safely, then the
bridge went down with crash, carrying
five cars into chasm fifty feet in depth
No one was hurt. The tain lays over at
this place from IL TO 8 o'clock: then We
will be off for Wheeling, which place We
reach at 81 this evening. If / have timeI
will write you line from there. Thereare
but two ladies in our crowd as yet. These
editors are as jolly and good chaps as L ever
met, and can assure you will have good
time before We see the end.

A REMARKABLE PROPERTY OF IRoN.-In
the year 1856, says contemporary, Mr..
March, an able chemist connected with the
Royal Arsenal, discovered that it is an in
variable rule with iron which has remained
considerable time under water, when re-
duced to small grains or an impalpable
powder, to become red-hot, and ignite any
substances with which it comes in contact.
This he found by scraping some corroded
metal from a gun, which ignited the paper
containing it, and burnt hole in bis pock-
ct. The knowledge Of this fact is of i'm
mense Importance, as il may account for
many spontaneous fires and explosions
The tendency Of moistened particle of iron
to ignite, was discovered by the great
French chemist, LemAry, as far back as the
year 1870.

HArcHET IN AN OAK TWO CENTURIES
We were shown recently block Of wood
taken from the heart Of white oak tree,
in which was firmly imbedded an Indian
hatchet of stone. 1t was found by Mr.. j.
Everett, in the town of Greenbush, who
had cut the tree, and was manufacturing it
into slaves. The tree was perfectly sound,
and nothing was noticeable indicating that
such thing was imbeded therein, until il
was struck upon with an axe. Upon exam,
ination, it was ascertained that the hatchet
was struck there when the tree had about
thirty years growth, and that it had re-
manned there more than two centuries, as
moro than two hundred years growth oi
the tree was counted outside of where the
hatchet lay.--S. Johns (N H. } Dem.

/ have but little time to write you this

find that a Southern and Western editor

as cordially as though they were citizens Of

And dreamily they glide,
As II they floated, like the leaves,
Upon n silver tide.
The trees are full Of crimson buds,
And the woods are full Of birds,
And the waters 1ow to music
Like tune with pleasant words.
The verdue Of the meadow-land
Is creeping to the hills,
The sweet blue-bosomed violets
Are blooming by the rills;
The lilac he's a load Of balm
For every wind that stirs,
And the larch stands green and beautiful
Amid the sombre hrs.
There's perfume upon every wind
Music in every tree
Dews for the moisture-loving flowers,
Sweets for the sucking bee;
The sick come forth for the healing breezes,
The young are gathering flowers;
And life is tale OF poetry,
That is told by golden hours.

what the Lecompton BIII Cost,

Tho testimony before the Covode Com
mittee at Washington shows that it cost
the government nearly million to pass the
Lccompton BILL During the examination
of Wendell checks to the amount of 925,-
900 were produced by him and left with
the Committee. Most of them are dated
during the contest on the Lecompton bill.
They are payable to no particular individu-
al. Curious combinations Of letters are in
serted at the usual place for the name Of
the payee. Mr.. Wendell refused to give
any explanations Of these mysterious marks.
Some OF these check arc payable to Sena-
tors, others to members of the House oi
Representatives. Whether these payments
were made to secure the passage Of the Le-
compton bill, or for other corrupt purposes,
Wendell refuses TO disclose; but tho other
testimony brought out by the COMMITTEES
leaves but little doubt that this immense
sum was used by Wendell, under the direc.
ton of the Administration 10 buying the
passage OF the most odious law ever enact
ed in this country.
