LEVELS OF THE ATLANTIC AND Pacific
OcEAys.-The popular notion which had so
long prevailed that the Atlantic ocean is many
feet higher than the Pacific at the Isthmus Of
Panama, has been formally exploded. Colonel
Totten has decided, after series of tidal OBJ
seryations taken at Panama and Aspinwall
Bay, and connected by accurate levels along
the line of railroad, that the mean hight of the
two oceans is exactly TIE same although
owing to the difference in the rise of tide of
places, there are, of course, times when one of
the oceans is higher or lower than the other ;
but their mean level, that is to say, their hight
at half-tide, is now proved to be precisely the
same Scientific Press.

FIRING GUNS INTO AMERIcAN SHIPs.-In
the year 1907, the British frigate Leopard
fired into one Of our national vessels. Re-
paration and apology was Immediately de-
manded, and because none was given, the
second war with England ultimately ensued.
A few years ago, the American steamer
Black Warrior was fred into from the Moro
Castle, off Havana, and although the firing
was generally supposed justified by the law
of nations, Democratic administration knew
no rest till Spain had made an ample apol-
ogy.
Not long since, the halEcivilized inhabit-
ants Of Greytown helped themselves to Amer
ican property, passing over the Isthmus.-
The war frigate Cyane was sent down, and
the town destroyed, without declaration OF
war. Two or three years since, the Water
Witch, being in some part of the waters of
Paraguay, where she had no right to be, was
fired into from fort. What followed p
An armed expedition from the United States
went out to the Commonwealth founded by
DR.. Faancia, and the government Of that
little country was compelled to apologize, and
pay money for its audacity.
In January, 1861, the steamer Star of the
West was fred into from Charleston, South
Carolina. The vessel bore the national flag,
and was employed in carrying provisions to a
national fort there in a state of seige. The
vessel was forced to return to New York
For what for Teiniorcements2 No; but to
discharge her troops and store her provisionsl !
When the frmness displayed against Spain,
and England and Greytown shall be mani
tested toward South Carolina, there is no
doubt that this puissant kingdom
would succumb.

Astonishing as it may appear, Yancey has
declared himself in favor of coercion. The
coercion he advocates, however, is that q
forcing the people Of Alabama to subscribe
to his schemes Of disunion. We have before
alluded to the strong Union feeling which
must necessarily exist in the seeding States,
and in further confirmation, the Nashville
Banner has the following paragraph:
awe learn that quite an exciting scene oc-
Cured in the Alabama Convention after that
body had refused, by decided vote, to sub
nit their action to the people. Hon. Mich.
Davis, Of Huntsville, declared his belief that
the people of North Alabama would never
abide the action Of that Convention il denied
the right Of voting upon it. Mr. Fancy
thersIpOR denomeed The people Of North Ala-
6ama as tories, traitors and rebels, and said thy
ought to Be coerced into a submission 20 the de-
cree Of the CoaUsHtiOH. Mr. Davis replied
that they might attempt coercion, but North
Alabama wolld meet them upon the line
and decide the issue at the point of the bay
