NBlondin wheeled a lion cub owe

~Blondin wheeled lion cub over
the rope at the Geological Gardens,
Liverpool. a few weeks since. A bois-
ferrous wind prevailed at the time
Having adjusted the barrow, he began
to move apparently trembling with the
weight OF his load. A guy was attach
ed to the barrow, and as it was let out
by his assistant it by some means or
other got entangled after he had pro.
ceeded some thirty or forty feet. Blon-
din halted, and the guy rope fell to the
ground. The heart become sick at
looking at him. People kept their
breath, expecting every moment that
the gymnast, with tom Sayers" and
the barrow, would be precipitated into
the "City of Pekin." or into the'lake
below. Instantly Blondin's resolution
was taken. He evidently could not go
on, and he began to move backward
cautiously and slowly. Women were
terrified as if they we're Witnessing an
execution. A deep silence prevailed.
which was only broken when Blondin
landed safely on the platform. Again
the barrow was adjusted. and Blondin
moved on this time without guy rope.
Gradually he reached the center, and
resting short time began to push bis
load up the incline. The wind seemed
to impede him very much, and it was
really frightful to see the barrow roll
back occasionally foot as if he who
guided it had not sufficient strength to
push it another inch.

How JAMES B. CLAY LosT HIS BAco

How JAMES B. CLAY Losr HIS BACON.
A Louisville correspondent of the N.
Y. Herald writes:
Hon. James B. Clay was a member
of Congress. He is the son of "Harry
Of the West" but he has inherited from
the ''old man" only the old homestead,
which he sold, in the shape of canes as
mementoes, and the name-whose lus ter
he has dimmed. The Hon. James B.
has lately gone to specializing in less
honored articles, and for an NJ. G. has
developed into smuggler. Last week
he engaged in bacon transaction or
speculation, the profits Of which grew
monstrous in his brilliant imagination,
like the glass speculator in the Eastern
fable, till with blow of the foot" as
the old story reads, somebody else
"kicked his basket into the street." or
to speak more TO the point, took posses
sion of his bacon. With ten wagons
loaded with bacon. Clay undertook a
trip to Tennessee via Cumberland Gap.
The wagons started and the owner fol-
lowed Immediately. By slow approach
es the Gap was neared. and the fearful
passage Of this neutral State almost COM
pleled without any accident to his ba-
con. Clay began to congratulate himself
on bis success. He had passed the more
rabid Union counties and was nearing
the Gap when small company Of Union
men, having the fear of God in their
hearts, the good of the nation, in their
minds and desire for good bacon in
their stomachs, marched out upon the
road and ordered the teamsters to dis
gorge. The wagons were delivered Of
their burdens and the bacon stacked BY
the wayside. The wagoners and the
Hon. James B. Clay were compelled to
take the..oath of allegiance to the Union,
and then, sans bacon, with their cour-
age oozed out Of their fingers ends,
they were allowed to return. --

cumstances. For he is especially
charged by the Constitution with the
"public safety" and be is the sole
Judge of the emergency which requires
bis prompt action.
"The power In the President is no
part Of bis ordinary duty in time of
peace; il is temporary and exceptional,
and was intended only TO meet pres
sing emergency. when the Judiciary is
said TO be too weak TO insure the pub
lie ssfety--when Tin the language Of
the act of Congress) there are acom-
binstions too powerful to be suppressed
BY the ordinary course of Judicial pro-
ceedings, or by the powers vested In
the marshals." Then, and not till then,
has he the lawful authority to call to
his aid the military power of the ma
ton, and with that power perform bis
great legal and constitutional duty to
suppress the insurrection. And shall
it be said that when he has fought and
captured the insurgent army, and has
seized their secret spies and emissaries,
he is bound to bring their bodies be-
fore any Judge who may send him a
writ of habeas corpus, ''to do. submit
to and receive whatsoever the said
Judge shall consider in that behalf?
al deny that he is under any obliga-
ton to obey such writ, issued under
such circumstances"
The opinion concludes as follows:
"To my mind il is not very impor-
tant whether we call particular power
exercised by the President a peace
power or a war power, for undoubtedly
he is armed with both. He is the chief
civil magistrate Of the nation; and be-
ing such, and because he is such, be is
the constitutional commander-in-chief
Of the army and navy; and thus, within
the limits of the Constitution, he rules
in peace and commands in war, and at
this moment be is in the full exercise
of all the functions belonging to both
those characters. The civil admins
tration is still going on in its peaceful
course, and yet we are in the midst Of
war--a war in which the enemy is, for
the present, dominant in many states,
and has his secret allies and accomplices
scattered through many other states
which are still loyal and true. A war
all the more dangerous and more need
ing jealous vigilance and prompt action,
because it is an internecine and not an
international war"

Several soldiers have arrived

Several soldiers have arrived in
the city from Laurel Hill, who give
some amusing incidents OF the skirmish-
ing in that vicinity. An Orderly Ser
geant says that frequently the Federal
and rebel pickets and scouts would
come within speaking distance of each
other. and indulge in personal epithets,
such as "Traitorl''-"AboliIionistl'-
"Blue bellied Ysnkeel" etc. In sever
al instances, the pickets, after abusing
one another, would BY general consent,
ground arms and meet half way, for
the purpose of taking drink. After
drinking. they would run back, pick up
their guns and fire at each other, the
aeetest man standing the best chance
of getting the first shot Wheeling In

How FOREIGNERS ARE TREATED AND
TO BE TREATED IN THE SOUTHERN Con-
FEDERAcY.--The Courier of yesterday
makes farcical attempt to persuade
foreign-born citizens that the recent
army order requiring volunteers to
speak the language in which they must
receive their commands on the battle
field is 6lop levelled at the rights of
such citizens. The attempt is not only
farcical but balf-witted. 1t, however,
has served to fix our attention upon the
subjoined passage in Mr.. Russell's last
letter to the London Times, which we
reproduce by way of ofsetting the
Courier's idiotism with piece of solid
truth. Let our foreign.born citizens
attend:--Lou. Jour.
Ny companion was a very intelligent
Southern gentleman, formerly editor Of
a newspaper. We talked of the crime
of the country, of the brutal shootings
and stabbings which disgraced it. He
admitted their existence with regret,
but he could advise and suggest no
remedy. "The rowdies have rushed
in upon us, so that we can't master
them" "Is tie law powerless"-
"Well, sir, you see these men get hold
of those who should administer the
law. or they are too powerful or too
reckless to be kept down." "That is a
reign Of terror--of mob rufianism?"
at don't hurt respectable people much;
but agree with you it must be put
down" When-how? "Well, sir,
when things are settled. we'll Just take
the law into our own hands. Not a
man shall have vote unless he's Amer
ican born, and. by degrees, well get
rid Of these men who disgrace u.s."
"Are not many Of your regiments COM
posed of Germans and Irish--of for
eigners, in fact?" ''Yes. SIR"
/ did not suggest to him the thought
which rose in my mind, that these gen.
tlemen, il successful, would be very
little inclined to abandon their rights
while they had arms in their hands; but
it occurred to me as well that this
would be rather poor reward for the
men who were engaged in establishing
the Southern Confederacy. The at
tempt may fail. but assuredly i have
heard it expressed too often to doubt
that there is determination on the
part of the leaders in the movement to |
take away the suffrage from the men
whom they do not scruple to employ
in fighting their battles. II they cut
the throats of the enemy they will sti-
fie their own sweet voices at the same
time, or soon Afterwards capital rec
ompense to their emigrant soldiers, !

Nor So DESPERATE AFTER ALL
The Louisville Democrat say:
The general understanding amongst
Secessionists is, that the South are to
fight until determination, rather than
fall in division Of the Union. That
will do to talk over brandy smash
Rather than submit 10 dishonor, a peo-
pie may fight to determination, per-
hsps; but they don't do it in this world
of ours. We notice that the Secession
lists run and surrender just like other
people. They take an oath to fight no
more, and go home. like sensible men
who, when they can't do any better.
do the best they can. The people at
home South will act the same way
They are no more desperate than those
who have gone to the wars. Some
politicians would like to see the people
fight to determination, rather than let
them fall; but the people will not do it;
not they--have more sense. A brave
man is not necessarily fool.

operation, and says that the Postmaster
General will soon be ready to assume d.
rection of postal affairs. In conclusion, he
cougratulates the Confederacy on the pa
triotio devotion exhibited by the people of
the Confederacy. Men Of high official and
social positions and of wealth, are serving
as volunteers in the ranks. The railroad
companies have been liberal in their rates
of transportation of troops and supplies,
and proffer liberal terms for the transpor-
tation of the mails, and receive compensa-
tion in bonds of the Coufederacy. He says
that a people thus united and resolved can
not fail of final success. We feel that our
cause is just and holy, and protest solemn
ly in the face of mankind that we desire
peace, at any sacrifice, save that of honot
and independence. We seek no conquest,
no aggrandizement, no concessions from the
free States; all we ask is to be let alone;
that none shall attempt our subjugation by
arms this we will and must resist, to the
direst extremity. The moment this pre-
tension is abandoned, the sword will drop
from our grasp and we shall be ready to
enter into treaties of amity and commerce
mutually beneficial. So long as this pre-.
tension is maintained, with firm reliance
on that Divine power which covers with its
protection the just cause, we will continue
to struggle for our Inherent right to free
dom, independence and self-government.

Southern CONGRESS.

MONTGOMERY, April 29.-The South
ern Congress met to-day at noon.
The Presidents message was read. He
announced the ratification of the perma-
neut Constitution by all the Confederate
States, and says that it only remains for the
election to be held for the designation Of
the officers to administer it. He says that
the declaration of war laid against this Con-
federacy by Abraham Lincoln, rendered it
necessary to convene Congress, to devise
measures necessary for the defence cf the
country. The President then reviews at
length the relations heretofore existing be-
tween the States, aud events which have
resulted in the present warfare Referring
to the result of the mission of the Commits
sioners to Washington, he says that the
crooked paths of diplomacy can scarcely
furnish an example so wanting in courtesy,
in caudor and directness, as was the course
of the United States Government towards
our Commissioners. The President Incl.
dentally refers to the prudent caution OBJ
served by the fleet off Charleston during the
bombardment of Fort Sumter, and pays a
high compliment to the Caroliniaus for their
forbearance before, aud heroism during, and
magnanimity after the bombardmeut. He
says that Commissioners have been sent to
England, France, Russia and Belgium, to
ask our recognition as a member of the fam
lily of nations, and to make treaties of amity
and commerce; and recommends the ap.
pointment of other diplomatic agents. He
says that the Confederacy, through Vice
President Stephens, has concluded Con.
vention with Virginia, by which Virginia
has united her power and fortune with US.
He has satisfactory assurance that other
Southern States will soon unite their for,
tunes with ours. He says that most Of the
Executive Departments are in successful

CoLoRED ORGANIzATIoN.-The Boston
Post says it has good reasons for believing
that there is in that city, "a secret organi'
cation of colored individuals, composed
principally of fugitive slaves, who have com.
munication with parties in Richmond, and
also act in concert with negroes residing in
Canada. Rumor gives the organization the
credit of having attained a powerful growth,
and it is probably unnecessary to state that
the movement has for its object the aiding
in great and general insurrection among
the slaves of the South"

SEIZURE We learn from the N. York
papers of Friday that the United States
District Attorney has seized the blank bonds
which the American Bank Note Company
had prepared for the Southern Confederacy.
This is petty piece of business. If the
bonds had been filled up and duly signed
and executed, instead of being "seized,"
they would, probably, have been stolen.
