Our lady friends Of taste will fnd in the
annexed beautiful experiment. o useful hint for
adorning their parlors with natural curiosity,
and means, perhaps, Of relieving the tedium
of some idle hour: "If an acorn be suspended,
by piece of thread, to within half an inch Of
some water, contained in hyacinth glass, and
so permitted to remain without being disturbed,
it will, in few months, burst, and throw 70 OF
down into the water, and shoot upward its ta-
pering stem, with beautiful little green leaves.
A young oak.tree, growing in this way on o
mantle-shelf ola room, is very interesting OBJ

-" "Palmetto," of the Columbia Carolinian,
writing from Washington, gives the following
exemplifcation Of shutting, intrigue and crab
crawling at the capital, and Of the intentions Of
the Republicans, when put to the test:
"On Monday, the House was thrown into COM
motion by resolution offered by o Mr.. Blake,
Of Ohio, for the Immediate abolition of slavery
every where under the Jurisdiction Of the United
States. This means all the Territories, forts,
dock.yards and the District of Columbs.. The
Southern members were delighted at this move,
as they wanted the Republicans to show their
hands, especially as they have been fighting quite
shy of late. This Mr.. Blake represents 0berlin,
where the philosophy of the Republican party is
carried out in regard to the equality of the races
in the notorious Oberlin College, where both col.
ors mingls in the schools. The most sagacious
Of the Republicans tried their best to avoid
vote on this resolution, but in vain, for Speaker
Pennington stood up to the rules and they were
obliged to vote. The result was that sixty Of
the party registered themselves in the affirmative
on the resolution" .......,r =
The appended resolution with preamble) is
the one referred to above:
Whereas, the chatteling Of mankind and the
holding Of persons as property are contrary to
natural justice and the fundamental principles
of our political system, and are notoriously re-
proach to our country throughout the civilized
world, and serious hindrance to the progress
Of republican liberty throughout the nations Of
the earth therefore, ~ 3 =. .tfr-. a

- The "K. G. C's," or Knights of the Col
den Circle, are likely soon to create stirring
events on Mexican soil. The following, in re-
latiou to the origin, object and extent of this
organization, will prove Of interest. 1t is taken
from the New Orleans correspondence of the N.
Y. Herald:

"The order was instituted in Mississippi dur.
ing the year 1854. It's original object was the
cultivation Of martial spirit among the young
men Of. that State, and for long time the mum,
Der of its members was quite limited Within
the last year or two, however, its leaders have
adopted new plans, and these have given it an
impetus by which it has slowly but surely spread
over seventeen States, including the whole South,
but more especially in the States Of Tennessee,
mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. It now com
prises nearly thirty thousand members. Its OBJ.
ject is to march into Mexico, crush the Miramon
faction and place the Juarez Government fairly
upon its legs. In doing this, the K. G. C's con,
tend that they are violating no treaty or neutral
ity law, but that they are simply assisting q le.
gitimate and formally recognized friendly gov,
ernment to subdue band of factious outlaws.
This done they mean to sssimilate the Mexican

habits Of the two races will permit. They dis.
claim the character Of fllibusters, and declare
that they will march down to the levee and en-
bark in the broad daylight The time for the
departure has not yet been fixed. Probably
their force will be separated in two divisions

disorders along the frontier, and then march di.

Vera Cruz. ANY attempt on the part of Spain
or any other European power to interfere in the
struggle between the factions will precipitate
the departure of the K. G.. C's. The pecuniary
resources of the order are on q scale proportion.
ate to the number of its members. In the State
of Texas alone no less than four hundred and
ninety-eight thousand dollars have been con.
tributed, and division of twenty-five hundred
men have been armed and equipped besides.
"The number of K. G. C.'s now in this city is
about ZOO men. The companies are composed
of fine looking young men, mostly between the
ages Of twenty-five and thirty, and their drill is
said to be excellent. The commissariat is in
charge of number Of gentlemen Of experience
and means. What astonishes me most in. the
movement, is the perfect confidence eYinced by
everybody concerned in it. that it will prove sue.
cessful. They declare it will only be a running
fight, and that the campaign will not last six
months. OF course, there are q great many

enterprise, but who have no idea of accompany
ing the expedition. Yet the Z. G.. C.'s expect
to hurl sufficient force upon Miramon's army
to overwhelm him at once. A great deal Of en-
thusiasm was created the other day by the arri.
val of large squad from Maryland and Virginia.

from Harper's Ferry, each man of whom is able
to make his own musket. I shall keep you ad.

says many good things, and many things worthy
of mature reflection. In one place he says:
The highest culture is not obtained from teach
ers when at school or college, so much as by
our own diligent self-education when we become
men. Parents need not be in too great haste to
