Yesterdays symptoms of warm weather
brought forcibly to mind the comforts of the
White Sulphur Springs, the time of opening
which, with other information interesting to
the public, may be learned by reference to an
advertisement in another column. 1t is not
necessary to expatiate upon the beauties and
pleasures of place already so well known
to our fellow-citizens, nor upon the obliging
character of the landlord. That all will be
done to render the guests of the White Sui
phur comfortable during their sojourn, no
one who has been there will entertain a
doubt.

A WHITE MAN NEARLY WHIPPED TO DEATH
BY NEGRoEs.-Three free negroes were ar
rested and lodged in Jail in Oxford, N. c., on
Friday, for assisting Lem Robertson in shame
fully beating man by the name of Crowder.
The occurrence took place on Sunday some
fifteen or twenty miles from Oxford. The
free negroes tied Crowder to tree, and after
Robertson had whipped him until he tainted,
they took him to stream near by, and
ducked him until he was restored to his
senses. He was then taken and tied as before,
and after being numerically beaten a second
time was ducked until he was nearly stran-
gled.

DEATH OF FAMOUS But UNFoRTUNATE
LADY.-Miss Sallie Mercer, the young lady
who figured in the Heberton tragedy, some
eighteen years ago, in which her brother shot
her seducer, died on Wednesday last in New
York city. Miss Mercer, in her youth, was
a lady of exceeding beauty, and for anumber
of years was considered the belle of the old
district of Southwark Some time after the
tragical event took place, she married Mr..
sician of Philadelphia, now deceased, from
whom, however, she was subsequently di-
vorced. She was afterward married to DR..
]. B. McCauley, of New York, with whom she
lived up to the time of her death. Mrs.
McCauley was about thirty-six years of age,
and was said by those who knew her, to
have been an aimable and interesting lady.

THE EXTENT OF Tom SAYERs's INJURIES
The impression was generally on reading the
first intelligence of the great fight, that Say
ers's injuries were by no means as great as
Heenan's. 1t seemed very extraordinary in
deed, that he could receive the repeated Wis
itations of the Boys terrible left "mawley"
resulting in a clean knock down in nearly
every round, the champion" falling in sew
eral instances, according to an eyewitness,
"as though he had been struck by cannon
ball." without suffering severely. 1t now
appears, from statement contained in the
London Times, that in the sixth round one
of the bones in Sayers' right arm was
broken, and gentleman who witnessed the
fight writes to the New York Herald that all
of his front teeth were knocked out. At the
end of the fight he was as helpless as a child.

Tne C,,c,uua,, Press.

We have the satisfaction of announcing to
our friends that the circulation of the Press
is steadily increasing, at rate entirely un-
precedented in the history Of journalism in
this city. Our city circulation now largely
exceeds that of any other newspaper in Gin
cinnati, with one exception, and we believe
is fully equal to that; while in Covington,
Newport, and in several of the neighboring
towns, it approximates to the aggregate of all
the other Cincinnati papers.
We think that we may reasonably expect
that such paper as we furnish, complete in
all departments, with all important news
carefully condensed, commenting independ-
emily on the topics of the day, avoiding the
partizanship and the heavy partizan literature
that is made a leading feature in other papers
and published seven days in the week, moi
excepting day when the people need paper
more than on any other, at the nominal cos
of one cent, will continue to increase in cir
culation at an nccelerating rate; and we have
confidence that in brief time, the DAILY
Press will show q circulation which will b'
the beginning OF a new era in newspaper
business in the West. ....
The Press offers to advertisers q bette
medium than has ever been presented in thi
city, not only in its circulation, but in tn
size and style of the paper, bringing all it
advertisements within a glance, instead Q
losing them in a vast expanse; and especiall
in its large proportion of new advertisements
which make the advertising columns an at
tractive feature of the paper. There
scarcely single branch of business in thi
city that can not be increased by judiciou
advertising, and persons who have any com
modify to dispose Of, or who have any wan
which they wish to place before the public
can reach nearly fifty thousand Of the readin
people of Cincinnati, at the trihing cost of
twenty-five cent advertisement in the Dali
Press.

BARoMETRICAL VARIATIONS A PRooF OF THE
EARTHs RoUNDNEss.--A very singular spell
of weather in Paris during which an extraor-
binary fall of the thermometer was accompa-
MED by still more remarkable fall Of the
barometer, is explained in the following way
The wave of cold is supposed to have been
brought over the country by a high wind in
the upper regions of the atmosphere, and as
this was caused by remarkable variation of
temperature, it is supposed to have Travelled
remarkably fast. Now, it is argued that any
strong wind, whether high or low in the at
mosphere, has lifting tendency on the air,
since its motion is continually throwing it OIL
in tangent from the surface of the earth,
As most whirlwinds and storms are produced
by strong winds, high or low in the atmos-
phere, they are accompanied by a fall of the
barometer And so the variations Of the
barometer are, to certain extent, a proof
that the world is round.

A STRANGE BUSINESS IN PARIs-LoANING
BANK-BILLs TO SHOW IN SoCIETY.-Paris, so
prolific in the discovery of new industries,
has just brought to light mostsingular one.
A woman was arrested on the charge of
usury, and, in the investigation of the affair
it was found that her real occupation was
that of lending bdnk-6ills TO show in society, at
a rate of four or five hundred per cent She
declared that the business was an active one,
and that she had great many regular and
irregular customers. They were mostly
people who had more position in the world
than means, and who succeeded In maintain
ing their position by being able, from time to
time, to turn over carelessly in their pocket
books, under the eyes of a friend, few bills
of five hundred francs

Yesterday Savers went 10 the Office Of the
referee, at Bslgs LVt office, in the strand. he
was recognized on entering, and an immense
crowd assembled to witness his departure; hy
whom he was most vociferdusly cheered.
Beyond his nose and Mouth being swollen
and his lip cut he showed scarcely any
marks of the desperate encounter he had
passed through. His arm was bound up and
in sling, for, though it turns out that none
of the bones were fractured, yet some of the
tendons were broken, and the muscles so
much confused and injured that he is still
unable TO move his hand, or use the limb at
all. This injury he sustained in the fourth
round in stopping one of the Americans tre-
mendous blows, and an attempt which he
made to use 1t in one Of the subsequent strug-
| giles gave him much pain, that it distressed
| him more than the blows he received from his
antagonist. The knock-down blows which
he received at the commencement he admits tC
have been dreadfully severe, but for the last
hour of the fight they did little more hur
than the actual knocking down, for thu
| Americans hand was so swollen that II could
have inflicted little mischief on such sea
soned frame as his.
Sayersregrets that the contest was stopped
as he considers that he was certain to have
won in at least ten minutes more; though
he says, he felt so little distressed that HI
could have continued the fight for another
hour. II would certainly appear, from TN
slight marks of punishmentwhich he showed
yesterday, and the general vigor OF his ap
pearance, that he did not over-estimate hi
powers in this respect. To the proposal tina
the battle should be considered as drawn
Sayers, we believe, strongly objects. and ex
presses an ardent wish to meet his adversar'
again, who he maintains shall never put for
ward claim for the English champions bel
while he has ability to defend it.
Heenan's left hand was very bad yesterday
and much swollen. He was also too mucl
punished about the face to make any ap
pearance at the office of the referee.
No other hostile meeting will ever tax
place betweet the two men, as the sopporteT
of both consider that the courage and indu
rance of each have been sufficiently proved
and they will therefore consent to the lat
contest being considered as drawn battle

The Boilers Convention at Charleston was
in quandary when the other adjourned.
The only ground they could stand on was 10
assume to be the regular Convention, but if
so, it was their business to go on and make a
nomination; this was larger contract than
they seemed willing to undertake. But il
they did not pretend to be the true Demo
cratic Convention, they could not deny that
they were boilers, and had in effect resigned
their Office, and the only course left for them
was to submit the whole matter again to
their constituents in a new election; this,
however, they were unwilling to do; so,
afraid to discharge the duties of their Office
or to lay it down, they acted merely as the
tail of the regular Convention, and adjourned
to meet at Washington on the same day, to
watch its motions That fre-eating demon
stration seemed to have been inserted into
cold water very soon. Dflf fft "Ff

Puttins n Fine Point on II Repubiicanism.


The following proviso, appended to the
Territorial Bill, contains what there is left Of
Republicanism:
"Provided, That, whereas, slavery has no
legal existence in said territory, nothing
herein contained shall be construed to au-
thorize or permit its existence therein"
This, certainly, is drawing it mild. What
act of Congress- organizing territory, ever
did authorize the existence of slavery therein?
We understand that the great principle on
which the Republican party was founded was
to prevent the extension of slavery into the
Territories. We suppose that the proper
place to apply this great principle is in acts
organizing the territorial governments; and,
as there is Republican plurality in the
House, and five territorial bills are up, the
occasion is one demanding demonstration
of the great Republican principle; and when
it is unearthed for the first practical applica-
ton, it amounts to a declaration that, rs
slavery does not now legally exist in the
Territories, therefore, bills which make nc
allusion to slavery at all shall not be con-
strued to authorize it.
1t seems to us that we have read something
very like this in territorial bill before, viz
''It being the true intent and meaning of this
act not to legislate slavery into Territory
nor to exclude it therefrom." TO that ex-
tent it is clearly an infringement on the
Douglas patent, although it endeavors tC
evade it by leaving to implication that which
the Douglas invention specifies, Subject tC
the Constitution" We doubt if the Repub-
lican party be not liable to prosecution fol
this infringement, and if they should be en-
joined from the use of the Douglas patent
what would become of a party that haC
whitfield its principles down to point, anC
then slid off the end of III d
