New MODE OF TRANsIT.--A London
company has just made some successful
experiments with a tube which proves the
possibilities OF sending parcels by creating
a vacuum. The tube was laid down in
Battersea fields, had several sharp curves
and steep gradients and was socket jointed
so as to leave the interior smooth The
rails are cas-, in the bottom of the tube,
and the cars, made Of sheet iron, are about
five feet in length and each runs upon four
cast-iron wheels. There is no friction
therefore and the leak of the air does
not interfere with the speed. The frs,
experiment was made by loading a car.

INHUMAN TREATMENT OF A VOLUN
TEER'S WIFE

We have been informed Of an affair
which occurred evening before last, that,
if true, and we have no doubt it is. must
stamp one of the parties concerned as
heastless in the extreme. 1t appears that
the wife of one Of our volunteers, now
under Gen. Rosecrans, with her four chill
dren, was tnrned out of her house near the
c., II. g. d. r. R. depot, for non-payment
OF rent. but that subsequently she sue
ceeded in finding room in the house OF a
man named Griffin, on Eighth street, near
Freemen, and ;hither she had her few ar
ticles Of furniture removed.
1t should be observed here that an elder
son of the woman had also gone to fight
the battles of his country with his father /;
and as they were the only means of sup
port for the family the poor woman, with
her children, has suffered the extremities
of hunger and want. Upon the evening
indicated. Griffin. who is employed at the
depot mentioned above, returned, and
finding that his wife had rented the room
to this woman, set 10 work and threw her
little stock Of furniture aid cooking uten-
sils into the street, and compelled her and
her children TO follow. Night was coming
on, and the now wretched mother sought
shelter in a filthy out house in the neigh
borhood, and was preraring 10 spend the
night in it, with her weeping children,
when some humane people who accidently
heard Of the affair, came to her relief and
gave ker comfortable shelter in their
houses. This case is the more distress
ing, because the distressed mother has
been well reared, and has shrunk from as
sistance from those around her, or from
the authorities, amonga crowd Of pushing
and jostling women. perhaps not SO much
in need as She Cincinnati Gazette.

ception. they met the cavaliers of the
sunny South, those boastful gentlemen

smallest amount of unnecessary ceremony;
and scrttered them without the slightest
respect to person. These Indiana regi-
ments are afraid Of one thing--that the
rebels of the State will be overcome and
scattered, and thereby become invisible
before they can get a chance at them.

fighting men, and we are told that there
are yet six regiments at indianapolis, fully

Rev. DR.. ADAMS. of Boston makes the
following truthful remarks:
| have often questioned in my own mind
whether slavery has not been. and is not
now, the occasion of more sin in the North
than at the South, and whether we at the
North are not more dlsplessing in the sight
of God for the things which are said and
done here, in connection with anti slavery
than at the South, with all the sins and
evils incident to slave. holding. | am

CHARGES OF TREASON.

1t is a severe test to the patience and
good temper of many men, Conscious OF
earnest love Of their country and fidelity
TO its institutions, TO be compelled to sub
NIT to the unbridled license of word and
action, TO which the existing civil war has
given rise among some of its advocates in
the North as well as IN the South The
spirit Of violence and intolerance seems to
be loOsened for season, and to run riot
at will. Under the pretence of putting
down treason. mobs suppressing free
speech and free press, arbitrary arrests
aud imprisonments. proclamations of mar
tial law aud all its despotic incidents, are
matters Of frequent occurrence, even with
in the loyal States. Political denagogues
