Some of the Christians had gained ad.
mission, and upon making this discovery the
Moslem women gave the alarm--And the
poor unfortunates were soon slaughtered.
The Mosems then went out aud Joined with
the Druses in killing these defenceless peo.
ple-among whom were many women aud
children. About twenty priests and sew
eraI nuns were counted among the slain
and from that time all Christian fugtives
flying to Sidon for safety were not only shut
out from the town, but ruthlessly killed by
the Mosems from within. The christians
now hide 10 the caves and among the tombs,
but they are soon found and slain.
The Consuls.G General of Beirut protested
against the shutting out Of these fugitives,
and orders were sent at once to Sidon pro-
viding for the admission of all refugees who
should desire to enter the city unarmed.
Information is daily received, however,
of fresh cases of the most horrible butchery
of native christians, and it would seem as
if the Druses and Moslems were eagued to
exterminate them.
This morning we learn of large num-
Der of peasantry having been induced TO re.
turn to their villages, where they were all
killed in cold blood-and of the murder of
five EccleSiastics of the Latin church. who
were shot down near the walls of Sidon.
The success of the DruSes has undoubt-
edly stirred up all the Moslem hostility to
christians, and general insurrection seems
to be trembling in the balance. The pres.
ence of Russian frigate of thirty guns
gives a feeling of security to the Frank
population of Beirut, and the expected ar
rival of French feet is generally hailed
with delight.

and each one has written to his national
feet for vessels of war, as the only means
of restraining the Moslems in their present
excited state. M
1t is believed that this state of things
will hasten the end of the ''sick man -

that this is the end of the Ottoman En-

Earth Yields her tribute without the discount
peculiar to some other branches Of industry.
The golden harvest is capital without vast
ing expenditure.
The very toll and sweat by which II is realz-
cd, adds to the stock Of physical and intellectu-
a wealth, 20 that the very means to gain the
end, brings a present blessing to community.
The farmer, more than any other man, is bless

His own heart is stimulated to enterprise and
noble deeds, and his own made strong, by the
industry that pours wealth into the public and
private treasury. The farmer controls almost
every other branch Of industry, by supplying
the great need Of ALL Cut of the fruits Of the
earth, and ten thousand hands hang down in

look to him as the FIRST cause, the grand key 10
the arch of industry, Earth must yield her in
crease, or gaunt famine stalks abroad to spread
his dark mantle over society, and dry up all

Well, may we then look upon the coming
bountiful harvest with grateful confidence, and
feel that it will give a new impulse to business
life, aud animate every begun enterprise with
sufficient vigor to carry it forward to consum-

reap a rich reward for their industry.

Promise.

A smiling bountiful harvest everywhere
greets us, promising to lift the cloud so depress-
ing which has for several years past rested up-
on the agricultural department in the Western
States We hear but one opinion coming from
every section, viz: The present is year OF
uncommon fruitfulness, and the crops will yield
q harvest richer far than has been enjoyed for
several years past. The pressure Of the money
market following meagre ingatherng of the
fruits Of the field, has given backward tenden-
cy to every branch of enterprise, and cast a
gloom over the prospects of many, seriously
embarrassing farmers, merchants, mechanics and
every other class Of citizens Our cities and
villages have lsnguished for the want Of the
usual business that is so essential to life and &C.
tivity, while credit has suffered abroad for the
legations, but also enlarge our business opera
tions. All eyes have turned to industry as the
remedy for this depression, and especially the
farming interest, as holding in an important
sense the means of relief Every heart is, there
fore, made glad by the present indications of a
bountfal harvest. Men look more cheerful
and begin to speak more confidently in relation
TO the unfinished plans of the past, aud of the
improvements of the future.
An important lesson is taught us in the ex-
perience Of the past. Our strongest hopes must
always rest in the honest industry of our eoun-
try. Let the industry Of our country be inter-
Tupted, either by diVerting the laborng class
from the useful pursuits OF life or by bligbting
the expectations Of the Iaborer, aud you cut Of
the supplies Of healthful prosperity Indus
try is the great feeder that supplies material for
every other department Of effort. Society fall.
ing back upon the aceumulations Of the past
may move on apparently prosperous for time
even after industry has received a check, bal
the feeder exhausted, arrangement will soon
come, and every class begin to experience the
effects. Industry Is the spring Of prosperity
the fountain that supplies the stream. and we
can only hope for continued prosperity BY a
continued Industry.

PRoTEcTIOE OF AMERICAN WATCH MAX
ING.-We cannot conceive of more effect
ual puzzle for the political economists OF
the protectionist school than for them to
be set TO explain the American Watch Com
pany at Waltham. The duty on watches
is eight per cent, and on materials and
parts of watches it is four per cent. Yet,
with only this amount Of protection, and
asking for no more, nor even caring for
this, or taking it into the calculation, the
projectors of that enterprise undertook to
establish what has been regarded as one OF
the most delicate and difficult branches Of
manufacture, and one which was supposed
to depend upon the combination of the
cheapest labor with the most experienced
skill. And the attempt has been so COM
pletely successful as to command the mar
ket to the extent Of the company's ability
to produce, at satisfactory prices, driving
out the description of foreign watches which
come in competition with the American ar
ticle. -
The original ideas which have led to this
success were, first, the making of all parts
of a watch to a pattern, so that any piece
will ft any watch of the same description !;
and second, the employment of machinery,
contrived for the purpose, and driven by
Stcam-power, in fashioning the various parts
of watch, which in European manufac-
lures are wrought out with great labor and
care by hand-work A visit to the works,
charmiugly situated on the banks of Charles
river, near Waltham, will impress any in
telligent observer with the value of these
two simple ideas. All the parts of the fine
mechanism which go to make up well
jeweled watch are formed and finished to
their pattern, and tried by measurements
so exact as not to vary the twenty-five
hundredth part of an inch. The most in.
genious machines are employed in shaping
each individual piece, every wheel and pin
ion, the jewel pivots and sockets, with steel
pins and screws, so minute that hundred
thousand of them will not weigh a pound
This machinery is all original, contrived
and fabricated on the spot, and so perfect
ly regulated that an apprenticeship of a
few weeks only is required to make the ar
tisan male or female, fully competent for the
work. Such is the result of having men
set about their own business, and setting
their wits at it in earnest.

DemocratlC Split in OhiO.

The Democracy held State Convention at
Columbus on Wednesday of last week for the
purpose of putting in nomination state ticket
A member from Crawford introduced the
following resolution:
Rssolred That inasmuch as the National
Democratic Convention, recently held at
Baltimore, divided and made two nomina-
tions for President and Vice President, we
declare it as the opinion Of this convention,
that every Democrat in Ohio is at perfect
liberty TO vote for either John G. Brecken-
ridge for President, and Gen. Joseph Lane
for Vice President, or Stephen A. Douglas
for President, and Herschell V. johnson
for Vice President, as shall best accord
with his views on the fundamental doctrines
of the Democratic party.
The resolution and its mover we're treated
with great iudignity by the Dougasites where,
upon formidable secession from the Convention
took place--some fifty Breckenridge men re-
firing. Those remaining (Douglastes) then put
in nomination by accIamation, T. J. L. Smith
for Supreme Judge ! G. W. Stambaugh, for
Attorney General ; and Abner L. Backus for
Member of the Board Of Public Works-nnd
passed resolutions endorsing Douglas and John
son.
The seceders convened at the Neil House,
organized, appointed a Committee to issue a
public address and took the preliminary steps
for calling National Democratic State Con-
ventioD, to put in nomination State ticket
1t was recommended to run Breckenridge or

The Two KINDS OF INTERVENTION Popular
Sovereignty has been placed by the Democracy
between the two fires of Congressional and Ju.
dcial intervention, and of the two, the latter
is the hottest. The Detroit Advertiser asks
this pertinent question:
Can any Democrat tell us the practical
difference between Judicial interventions
aud Congressional interventions for the pro-
lection OF slavery in the territories, except
that the former fastens it upon them much
more certainly than the other The Su.
preme Court may declare law of congress
regulating the question, unconditional.
But congress has no power to disturb or
set aside decision of the supreme court.
A slave code, therefore, might be only tenn
porary, but a decision of the court declar-
ing the xisteuce Of slavery in the territories,
would be eternal! The latter is Douglas
''m the former is Breckinyidgeism.
