MOUNTAIN SPECTERs IN ENGLAND.-V Visions
similar to the far famed specter of the Broken,
or to that beautiful phenomena witnessed by
Forbes on the Furca, have just been observed
in England. A few weeks since gentleman
climbed up the steep down which shelters the
pleasant sea-coast village of Bonchurch, in
company with several of his friends. On the
summit, at height of 700 feet, they amused
themselves by watching in front of them the
dense fog which was rolling i'll from the sea
and pouring along the TANKS OF the down. 1t
was about 4 o'clock, and the sun directly
behind them was apparently at about their
level. The retraction of its rays through the
mist produced beautiful iris Of an oval form.
While gazing at this they were suddenly con
scous of several dark, sepulchral looking
forms of colossal dimensions in the center of
the halo. On raising their arms and taking
off their hats their actions were mimcked by
the images, and they then saw that the objects
were their own shadows, projected by the sun
at their backs on the tog-wall opposite. AS
the mist approached nearer and the sun sank
lower the gigantic figures al length vanished.

PANTHER IN THE WooDs.-On Tuesday
last, as man was walking in the woods, about
eighteen miles from Boonvlle, lie suddenly
came across an unwelcome visitor, in the form
of a large and savage looking panther, which,
as he approached a pile of lumber was dis
covered sitting upon the farther end Of it. The
man Immediately took off his coat, fourished
it violently, and halooed with all his might
AT this the panther disappeared. The man
then hurried on but had not proceeded great
distance before he again saw his four-footed
enemy in advance of him. Again lie took
of his coat and shook it defantly at the beast,
which again made tracks for the woods. The
man knowing that a house was not far distant,
made towards it. When within sight of it, he
turned and looked behind him, when, 10 the
panther was stealthily following him, and at
a distance of only fifteen feet. His coat was
again broughtinto requistion, and was shaken,
as before, accompanied with loud cries. This
time the animal left with precipitation, the
man hurried to the house. and fell to the floor
with exhaustion. The neighborhood is aroused
and dligent search is making for the beast.

SenafSfGreen For G. f. jackson
AND REYNOLDS.

REMARKS OF SENATOR GREEN AT sTEwARTsYlrLE,
MO-, 18TH JULY, 1860. ~.=-.,
II think every democrat is bound to support
the ticket we nominated at Jefferson City for
State officers in April last as long as the nomi-
nees remain.true to.the.platform of principles es-
tablished by our State convention. If any such
nominee considers Judge Douglas the regular
candidate Of the democratic party. for the pres
idency, differ with him but 1t is question
of fact only, and the support of Judge Douglas
for the presidency does not, Of itself imply an
abandonment of our State platform. Claiborne
+. jackson and Reynolds avow their hearty sup
port of our State platform, and distinctly dis.
aycw all sympathy with the doctrine OF squat
ter sovereignty. I shall therefore vote Tor
them, and support their election. Such a course,
under these circumstances is no endorsement
of Judge Douglas nor is the support OF the
Breckenridge men on the State ticket, by the
friends of Judge Douglas any endorsement OF
Major Breckenridge. A united support OF our
whole regular State ticket, by both wings Of
the party involves no inconsistency in either
it is merely the honorable carrying out OF an
engagement entered into prior to the recent dl'
vision in the party, and binding on all as long
as the nominees, without reference to their pre-
ferences in the presidential election, remalI
true to the State platform. They are wlthou
question, the only regular nominees OF our par
ty for State Offices"

to be substantially correct, aud l now endorse
and subscribe it.

A Southern editor asks us to give a list of
the Bell and Everett papers in the 4on-slavc-
holding States. 1t is out Of our power to do
so; but the number is very small. To the best
of our knowledge and belief, the Boston Cour-
ier is the only one in New England. In the
State of New York are the NV York Express
of this city, the Ontario Repository, and prob
ably few others. There are also, we presume
two or three in New Jersey. AS at present
advised, we should say there arc not above a
dozen in the non-slaveholding states. The
strength of the party is at the south but as
there, in every state, the Bell party is smaller
than the Democratic party, and in most states
smaller than the Breckinridge party, it would
seem to be the part Of wisdom for them to
unite with the latter; and SO defeat Lincoln,
which is their principal aim, as it should be Of
all national men.
There is not the slightest probability that
Bell and Everett will get an electoral vote
North of Mason & Dixon's line, unless by co
operating with other parties, as in the case o
New Jersey, where three Bell men are on thu
Democratic ticket
Ifthe Express or any other Bell and Everett
paper will publish list of the papers Of it
class in the non-slaveholding states we shall b.
happy to copy it.--N Y. Jomnm Of Commerce.
