GARRISON ON THE CRISIS

tanu ready TO meet his rst effort to execute those
laws within its domains by the bloody arbitrament
of war on their part? And do not the border slave
States stand in bullying attitude, threatening to
make common cause with the seeding States, if
any coercion" is attempted by the new Admins
tration? Either blood must flow like water or
Mr.. Lincoln and the North must back down, and
confess that the American Union is dissolved be-
yond the power of restoration. In vain does he be-
say to the traitors:
"ln your hands, my dissatisfied dissatisfied Il
fellow countrymen, and not mine, is the momen-
tous question OF civil war. The Government will
not assail you. You can have no conflict, without
being yourselves the aggressors. You have no
oath registered in heaven to destroy the Govern
ment while have the most solemn one to preserve,
protect and defend it,
Will they give heed to this Will they not rather
laugh his oath to scorn? Are they not hourly
committing overt acts OF trea son? Are they not
lnsolent and hagitious aggressors in stealing the
property and firing upon the flag of the country,
instituting hostile government, and arming
themselves for deadly conflict which they are |
eager to wage? One party or the other must give
way-Whlch shall 1t be? In vain does the President
tell them, eve are not enemies, but friends"
Friends do not behave in this manner The breach
is NATURAL inevitable, and not to be repaired-it is
the result of the ''rrepressible conflict" between
justice and oppression, right and wrong, which
admits OF no Cancellation compromise Therefore
the time has come for decisive action. Let there be
no c'ciL 'odr, but separation beoeen the Free and
Stare States in the spirit of Abraham and Lot The
agreement with help must no longer stand. 1t is
a sin, snare, deusion, terrible curse, to at
tempt to perpetuate it. God wills its immediate
and eternal overthrow the will of God be done Let
the free North be free indeed-fashion her own
Institutions and dictate her own policy, leaving the
South with all her dread responsibilities resting
upon her own head. In that case she cannot long
uphold her lettering slave system-speedy emapci-
patton will follow, and the final result will be the
formation of Union stretching from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, in spirit, in purpose in glorious
freedom, the bitter past forgot ten and the future
full OF richest promise.
The DRUMMoND LIGHT.-Considerable interest
has been created lately by the employment of ten
Drummond lights for the illumination of the West
minister bridge, London, in place of gas burners
This light is produced by the combustion of lime
under the great heat caused by the flame of oxygen
anu hyarogen gases. In the present instance
however, common gas is substituted for the pure
hydrogen. Separate gas-hoders, one containing
oxygen and the other hydrogen, have pipes attach
ed to them which terminate in single tube,
snort distance from the point where the lime is
P laced on reaching this point, the gases are
allowed to unite, and after passing throuoh n
curved Jet, they come in contact with a lamp of
lime, which answers to the wick o, common lamp.
ana winch held IN close proximity to the tube by
a piece OF metal. The first step in lighting the
lamp is to turn on the gas by ITSELF It'll LIGHTED
and gives forth pale yellow fame. Soon a deem
red takes the place of this color, this change being
produced by the combustion of the metal calcium in
lame. When the lime is in this state the oxygen
is turned on, and instantly the bright white l9ht
Is produced, which will continue as long as the
Wick remains unconsumed. The supply of lime
is Kept up by the action of exceedingly simple
cockwork machinery, which raises the material as
1t burns down, at rate of speed varying according
to the progress of consumption The light is cheap
ana with ordinary care may be used with safety
It is also very brilliant Thus, single jet of the
lime light OF medium size is equivalent to forty
argand or eighty fishtail burners of the ordinary
SIZE, or to four hundred wax candles and its nten
'lty may be increased by augmenting the supply of
gases. AS compared with the Illuminating power
ot common gas single jet consuming four cubic
eet OF the mixed gases, is equal to that obtained
rom four hundred feet of ordinary gas.
IMPORTANT FROM BUENos AYREs-A BatHe.-We
nave received advices from Buenos Ayres and the
United Provinces to January II. 1t will he re-.
membered that revolution had occurred in San
J uan, IN which the Governor, Virasoro was muir
1ered, and Aberastain placed Professionally at the
leaa OF AFFAIRS. In consequence of these occur
rences the national government determined to send
4 commissioner to San Juan, and Don Juan Saa was
CHOSEN to that office. Saa set out for San Juan
Attended by Mr.. Lafuente and Col Paunero. and
On arriving at Mendoza, yielding to certain infu
sln tne commissioner changed his programme
rom peace TO war, IN consequence of which de-
his companions left him and returned

giving him three hours to submit The demand
vas refused, as being unconstitutional proceed
ng' ana on the morning of the 1ltb, Saa pushed
On to enforce it. In a short time he came up with
Aoerastain's forces, to the number of 800. at q
place called La Rinconaca, near Poetic These
after were composed for the most mart of mare |

hours Aberastain's youthful battalions FOUGHT
with desperate valor but were beaten. and the
Governor himself made prisoner. Over GOO men

opinion is, that Saa has assumed a.tremendous re-
in deserving his true mission and acting
Is ne has done, particularly when a little neootis
