SENATOR DOUGLAS IN NolFOLK,-The
speech of Senator Douglas in Norfolk. Satur-
day night, was delivered from the portico of
the City Hall, and was heard by nearly 5000
persons, including large number from the
surrounding counties. He avowed and ar
gaed fully the doctrine OF squatter sovereign
~. From notice in the Norfolk Herald we
take the following:
He said that this was his first visit to this
city, and he had just been handed a slip from
a newspaper in which two questions had been
propounded TO him, and although he felt UNI
der no obligation, under the circums stances TO
do so, still he would answer them, but claimed
at the same time that they should also be put
to the candidate OF the secessionists and an
swered by him. These questions were:
"If Abraham Lincoln be elected President
of the Uaited States, will the Southern States
be justified in seeding from the Union!
off they secede from the Union upon the in :
auguretion of Abraham Lincoln, before ne
commits an overt act against their Constitu-
tional rights. will You advise or yindicate re-
sistance by force TO their secession?"
He emphatically and unhesitatingly re-
sponded TO the first in the negative In regard
to the second, he frankly declared that he
would counsel The adoption of precisely such
meas ures as were taken by sold Hickory" in
the case of the South Carolina nullifiers. The
right of revolution he fully recognized; but
would recommend IL only as a last resort from
oppression, and to be appealed to after every
other means of redress should fail, and when
the oppression became more intolerable than
the consequences OF revolution.

REMARKABLE wATER-spour IN MAssAcHu-

REMARKABLE WATER-sPoUT IN MAssAcHU-
sErTs.--A water-spout, or somewhat very
much like it, came down at Newburyport,
says the Herald, Tuesday evening about
seven o'clock. A few minutes previous
the heavens presented very curious phe-
nomeuon of clouds and colors. From the
west rolled up masses of seemingly light
mist of a color which can only be compared
to the smoke of certain chemicals--a mix
ture of yellow green, buff, slate and black,
| mingled in the most extraordinary manner.
Overhead there seemed to be an angry strife
between this rolling, variegated mass, and
the dark, black clouds that extended to with
in ten degrees of the horizon. Those ten de-
grees were blue of the most unmistakabe
character. We do not mean blue Sky, but
| blue clouds. There was, however, very lit
| tie time to investigate this phenomenon, for
thirty seconds had not elapsed before tor
rent of water poured from the warning
clouds. So sudden was it that hundred;
were surprised in the streets without u mo-
ments warning. One party of ladies anC
gentlemen were looking at the clouds, wheI
| one remarked-"See, how it rains" and, t
show the suddenness of the descending rain
the whole party took to their heels and raj
with might and main distance of forty feet
The rain hit the hindmost. 1t came in {
stra ght line down State-street, and for thirty
minutes the machinery of several factories
might have been turned by the water tina
washed through cutters and over sidewalks
After the storm subsidized the rays of the set
ting sun lit up the western clouds with
glory indispensable.

The Cleveland Herald publishes the follow

for the reliability of the writer: ~ concluded
to inform you of an occurrence here that has
thrown the entire community into the highest

the papers that the oil well known as the
William Well has for several weeks been
pouring, in regular pulsations the Seneca oil
over the top of the well into the barrels pre-
pared for it, at the rate of one barrel per
hour; and this without any power from above
