sSa@ 4 charge Of cavalry on body
Of infantry armed with rifles is now
considered impossible. At Waterloo,
when the British sol licrs were armed
only with tlint-lock muskets and could
not fire until the cavalry were within
100 yards, they broke the charge by
their fire; but now, when they can
open fire at 800 yards, and give at
least eight rounds before the cavalry
reaches them, there does not seem to
be muca chance for heavy cavalry
For vidette duty, also the horseman, is
now so exposed as to be almost useless;
it is so easy to pick him off.

TIE EoUINocTIAL STORM appears to have
been heavy all over the country. At Phila-
delphia, on the 9th, the rain was accompa-
MED by gale, prostrating signs, &C., and
blowing vessels from their moorings. The
same violence of the storm was manifest at
Auburn, n. Y, and at Baltimore. The Ohio
river at Pittsburg was only nine inches be-
low the memorable humiliation Of 1852
Coming at an unusual season, the destruction
of floating property is great. The Allegheny
was filed with lumber sawed timber, barns,
sheds, sections of bridges, and agricultural
products from the bottom lands. On the Mo-
nongahela the loss was principally confined

es escaped, although the upper bridge" was
seriously endangered by the drift wood which
collected above it for distance Of two hun
dred and fifty feet.

BEATING DowE Prices. Some
people pride themselves on certain
sharpness in makiag bargains. They
bay everything tride cheaper than
their naighbols, because Of a certain
tact in beating down prices. It may
turn out in another world that this is a
very short sighted economy, for as Mr.,
Cough says, it leads many sellers to
vicious course. Mr.. Cough said in
one Of his lectures, upon information
derived personally from English con-
vets, that not a few OF that unfortu-
nate class of persons hal formerly
been vendors OF vegetables, fruits
matches, and such like small wares,
and by that humble means had tried
hard 70 gain an honest livelihood.
And they ascribei their failure and
fal to the fact that customers we're so
persistentiy in the habit of beating
them down in their prices, that they
found it impossible to earn living by
fair and honest dealing, which led them

EsS- The indictment of Secretary Floyd
by the grand jury of the Distric, of Crlum
bia, f fr completely in the late malversaiioa Of
bonds in the Depar tment of the Interior, will
give universal satisfaction among honest
men. It is humiliating to the na.iona! pride
that one who has occupied so high position
"a member Of the cabinet, and constitu-
tonal adviser of the Presid, ut should be
arraigne2 for an offence which, if proved.
would, according to law. consign him to the
penitentiary. No such instance has before
occurred in The history of the gov ernment =
But 'he higher the posiuor the more degrad-
ed the act, and TIE worse the example. If
the secretary is guilty. his condign punish
ment will be a yind,cation of law such as
will do more than anything else to re-estab
l!sh the old standard of Official probity. If
be is innocent the trial will do him god
sarv ce in relieving his Da ne from one of the
s;i snlas which rested upon it when he left
Office. We do not say the worst stigma. for
even positive swindiing is. to our mind,
lighter offence than abusing bis fficial trusts
in emptyiug northern arsenals. as he indis-
putaby did, for the hehoof of those who, he
knew. were designing a suhversion Of the
government which he had sworn to defend.
Justice we fear. has long account to settle

so. we hope she may get her dues.-N J..

Mr.. Hutchinson then came forward and
supported the majority report, in lengthy
and strong speech. Mr.. McAllister followed
him. and made very able speech in defense
of the minority report, taking strong grounds
In favor Of compromise. Col. Brown follow
ed him in reply, when one of the most excl
ting scenes we have ever witnessed, occurred.
There were load cries of question, question:
but Col. Brown kept the floor and demanded
to be heard. The President tried bis voice,
but could not make himself heard. Slower,
Brisbin aud Hutchinson, each tried to get
the floor but failed, Col. Brown positively re
fusing to give way. At last order was rec
stored, and Brown went on to make his
speech. He was severe on Mr.. MeAllister
and his Resolutions, and declared that he
was not in favor of the meeting passing any
resolutions. AT the conclusion of Col.
Browns remarks a motion was made to lay
both sets of resolutions on the table. The
motion was ruled out of order by the Presi.
dent. The question was then put, and the
minority resolutions adopted amid loud
shouts of applause. Mr.. Brisbin then pro-
posed three cheers for the Constitution and
the Union, which were given with hearty
good will. and the meeting adjourned.
Ths Bellefonte Brass Band was present
during the meeting and discoursed some fine
music.
