lieve that such fears are well founded Public opin-
ion is utterly opposed to such oppression, and pub

law. There will be suits for debts no doubt; and
there are cases where there ought o'be suits for

so as not to excite suspicion, he lay entirely
and effectually concealed, awaiting his chaa-

By some of the boys. who reported his where
abOuts to his purSuers, and one of them went
to the haystack to discover him He stamped
on the loose hay, calling loudly, but failing
to get an answer 20 find any trace of the
fugitive. Thinking the boys were mistaken
the pursuing soldier left; but taking a second
thought he returned, and after due warning
drove his bayonet into the hay in every direc-

and the Zouaye cEawled out. Though the

PRETTY EXPERIMENT Professor Rod
gers has solved the problem of seeing through
milestone. In a paper read before the
Scientific Association at Newport, he says
- Take sheet OF loolscap or letter paper
roll 1t up so thai the opening at one end shall
be large enough to take in the full size Of the
eye, and at the ether end, let the opening be
not half so large. Take it in the right hand
holding il between the thumb and fore finger /:
place the large end to the right eye, and look
through it both eyes open towards the light
You .ciH see a hole through your hand.
g If you take it in your left hand. and hold
1t to your left eye, it will be the same. You
will in both cases be astonished to see that
you have hole in your hand The illusion
is most complete
From this and other experiments, he con-
clndes that an impression made on the retina
of either eye cannot of itself enable US to de-
termIne on which retina it is received and
that the visual perception belongs to the part
OF the optical apparatus near or within the
brain, which belongs in common to both ewes.

instances. pressed persons into the army against

received with some doubt, coming from suck
sources, but Mr.. Russell may be called an
impartial witness, and he confirms the state
men. fully In one of his letters from New
Orleans, he says
= Englishmen Will be surprised to hear that
within few days, British subjects living
in New Orleans have been seized, knocked
down, carried off from their labor at the wharf
and the workshop, and forced by violence to
serve in the - volunteer rauks - These cases
are not isolated. They are not in twos and
threes, but in tens and twenties they have
not occurred stealthily or in by-ways; they
have hot taken place ID the open day, and in
the streets of New Orleans. These men have
been dragged along like felons. protesting in
vain that they were British subjects FOTtu-
nately their friends bethought them that there
was still British consul in the city, who
would protect his countrymen--Englis Irish
or Scotch. Mr Mure when he heard of the
reports and of the evidence made energetic re-
presentations TO the authorities, who, after some
evasion, gave orders that the impressed g vol

ger Rifles and other companies were deprived
of the thirty-fve British subjects whom they
had taken from their usual avocations. The
mayor promises that it shall not occur again.
1t is high time that such acts should be put
a stop to, and that the mob of New Orleans
should be taught to pay some regard to usages
of civilized nations There are some strange
laws here and on the part of Foreigners, which
it would be well to inquire into, and Lord
John Russell may be able to deal with then
at favorable opportunity"
If the army is composed of many men i'm
pressed in this mode, we need not be surpri

me very great pleasure to be the medium of
transmission OF these weapons. to be used
IN the defence of national sovereignty upon
the soil of Kentucky.
Though some years have passed since lef.
nv native State, | have never ceased to con-
template her progress in happiness and pros
nerity with sentime; is of fond aud fiial pride.
In every effort of industrial energy, in every
enterprise of honor and valor, my heart has
been with her, and | rel ice in the conscious
ness that. at this time, when the institutions
to whose fostering care we owe all that we
have of happiness and glory are rudely assail-
ed by ungrateful and parricIdal hands, the
State of Kentucky, ever true and loyal, fur-
p;shes to the insult d flag of the Union
guard of her best aud bravest sons On
every field the prowess of Kentuckians has
been manifested In the molly cause of natlCn-
al deferce they must be invincible.
Please accept, sir, these weapons as token
of the love [ shall never cease to cherish for
nv mother State, of the pride with which l
have always regarded the exploits of her sons,
and of the confidence which feel in the ul-
timate loyalty of her people, who, while new
er forgetting the homage which their beloved
State may justly claim, still remember the
higher and grander allegiance due to our COM
mon country:
Yours very sincerely,
