THEN AND Now.-In our hunt after news
paper curiosities in old files, lately, we came
across the following paragraph against Jo
Lane. 1t was published in the Louisville
Courier of Nov "a, 1s49 The paper then
was under the control of Mr.. Haldeman, the
same gentleman who now manages it, He
was then a Whig; now he is a warn Breck-
inridge and Lane Democrat, and lauds Old
10. to the skies. Circumstances alter
cases -
"The Salem (Ind.) Democrat raises the
/ flag of Gen. Jos. Lane as its candidate tor
the next Presidency. This Is one of the
richest Jokes of the season. Gen. Lane is
doubtless a brave man, butAhe is totally
destitute OF nearly all the requisites that
would make him a successful commander
1t was his lack of Generalship, and ignor-
ance of military matters, that caused the
disaster to the Second Indiana regiment at
Buena Vista. The fact is notorious, that if
the men of that regiment had been COM
manded by an able or skillful General, they
never would have been placed in such a
4 position as to be compelled to retreat There
I is NOT a country village i'll the Union but
could produce man fully equal to Lane AS
? W hAAC tuOuShuuS OOulb bN iuhhO
vastly his superiors =
Now this richest Joke of the season ~ is
being played in earnest, for Lane will be
the next President unless Lincoln should
be elected. The Courier is assisting TO place
the man 1t once ridiculed SO mercilessly in
= the Presidential chair. So are those old
Wigs who vote for BrecIluridge, Douglas,
/ or Bell, as neither of these gentlemen have
any show of success before the people or IN
( the House.

THE Washington correspondent Q: the
New York Times writes
1t is said by those who believe that the
choice of the next President will not be
made by the people, but that twill devolve
upon the present House, that Logan of Ore
gon has decided to take testimony, under a
notice served upon Stout, the sitting mem
Der, at the proper time, and that he will ap-
peal to the House at the next session to
grant him a hearing and award him the
seat. Such an award would give Lincoln
sixteen States, and throw the responsibility
of the choice of President upon Morris of
Illinois, who it is thought would elect Lin
coin rather than suffer the Senate to elect
Lane. The people will run no such risk
They will settle the matter themselves.

NEW JERSEY PoLITIos.-The Newark i'd
Uertiser thus estimates the vote of New
Jersey
Allowing, which is doubtful, that half
the Democracy will support the fusion, or as
it really is the Breckinridge ticket, it will
have-taking the last Gubernatorial vote as
criterion-25, 1857 votes to start with. To
this add 5000 votes "a very liberal allow
ance) for the Bell party, and its total will
be 3o,857. Subtracting the 5000 from Mr..
Olden's vote, and 48,3l5 will be left for
Lincoln. The Bell party might be esti-
mated at 5000, and still the Democracy be
left iu the minority; but no sane Jersey
man supposes it eau poll any approach to
that number of votes.

A SINGULAR PHENoMExoN.-The OFT.

A SINGULAR PHENoMENoN.-The Ottawa
(Canada) Citizen says
One day last week, while some laborers
were removing stone from a quarry in this
vicinity. they came upon a stone measuring
between three and four feet in length, some
eighteen inches in width and about eight
inches thick, bearing on its surface the un-
mistakable impress of two human feet, the
larger that of an Indians right, and the
smaller that of a squaws moccasined foot,
sunk about three fourths of an inch in the
solid stone. We have seen the stone and
the strange impression it bears, but have to
leave the enigma to be explained by those
better posted in things beneath the earth
than ourselves. To the curious it affords a
theme for study which would no doubt be
interesting. The stone has been preserved,
and is as solid as any piece of granite find
ing place in the new Parliament build

man with whom we have just been talking,
who has been travelling in Kentucky, says
that the Bell ticket is sure to succeed there
at the election to-day. Gen. Combs will
certainly be elected. Our informant also
says that he found several Republicans in
his travels. One very enthusiastic person
said that lincoln would getlO, 900 votes in
Kentucky Another said he liked to see
the slavery question agitated, and wished
the Republicans would come to Kentucky
and argue their cause. We don't believe
it would be healthy just now to do so
though if Old Abe makes a conservative
President-and we know he Wilt scHI
