I Man or Monkey.

The modern idea that man is only a
developed monkey has been scientifically
discussed by Prof. Huxley Of London.
in work just reprinted by the Apple
tons in New York. The professor COM
mences by detailed account Of the
structure and hsoits Of the apes that
most resemble man, and arrives at the
cheering conclusion that monkeys differ
more widely among themselves, in physi-
cal structure, than the highest form Of
these grotesque creatures differs from the
lowest OF the human race. The ques-
ton then arises whether few choice
Gorillas could, by assiduously breeding
together. develop in process time into
respectable Hottentots or Carlos. This
Mr.. Huxley neither affirms nor denies,
though he is ready to accept it upon
sufficient proof. He gives descriptions
and plates of fossil human bones Of the
remotest antiquity yet known. and ad-
mits that they are not appreciably nearer
the original baboon than some men now
existing, who, as Willis says, marry and
vote By the side of the very oldest
human remains are knives of flint and
skewers of bone, not unlike the rude
workmanship of the savage of to-day.
So the question is still an open one, and
science leaves us at least the poor priviI-
ege TO doubt.

SroRM.-We learn that terrible storm
OF rain, hail and wind, occurred at Cen
trail City, in this county, on Tuesday
evening last. Mr.. Sessions of this place
was there at the time, and represents it
as one Of the most fearful storms that he
ever saw, except the great tornado OF
1860. Great damage was done TO crops,
gardens, windows, DC. Fences we're
blown down in every direction. but no
lives lost or houses destroyed, that we
have heard Of.
p. S.-Since the above was written,
we have conversed with Mr.. l.. II. Pow
ell, who lives near Central City, and
from him we learn that tie track of the
storm was some two and half miles
wide, and as far as known now, extended
some 40 or so miles in length, and every
farm and garden in lis circuit IS COM
pletely desoated. Mr.. p. says his fields
Of corn AMI wheat were very promising,
but are now entirely ruined, and will
produce nothing worth harvesting
Fences were blown down, and washed
away by the flood Of water. Turkeys.

! Professor Draper has an Ingenious specu la
| iion regarding the influence of climate on
! government, in his recently published work on
| the intellectual Development of Europe. He
remarks that 1t is much more difficult to form
and to govern an empire extending over many
degrees vi latitude than one of equal magni-
tude whose greatest width is from east to
west. The variety OF climates, he thinks must
engender great differences in bodily and inte-
Iectuai habits aud indeed he gives some ex-
ampies which seem to prove the truth OF his
position. But these are alitaken from ancient
| history. and are examples rather of The ex-
treme difficulty of Keeping nnder one yoke
nations OF different races and religions. 1t is
not impossible that. if slavery could have been
perpetuated in our Southern States, there
might have arisen in the course of the next
hundred years a race of men in those States
essentially different from those of the free
States. But slavery was already, before the
war began. doomed 10 a slow but sure destruc-
tion and. las the Southern States became free.
their people would have become in all needful
respects homogeneous with those OF the North
immigration from Europe, which has so pow
erfnlly affected the character of the Northern
ana Western people. will have it's effect in the
South also, the moment that region is opened
20 white iabOrers; and, aside from this in
our case, the geographical formation of the
continent, the courses Of our great rivers and
the trend OF our great yalleys-circum stances
which so greatly control political divisions
point rather 10 the formation OF seaboard,
central and western empires, than TO separa-
tiOn into north and south. Mason and Dixon's
is the most thoroughly arbitrary line ever
drawn across our country.
But when, with the destruction of slavery |
the southern states are thrown omen to all the |
influences which have made and modified |
northern society then a II will be ready for the
formation of an American race What that |
race will be like is yeta matter oil speculation;
bnt we believe that in the western middle |

valley-some of its peculiar features are al |
ready cropping out from the older layers and |
deposits.

DIR. BRowNsoN ON THE Ny. RIOTS

In the October number of Brolcnson'. ReUisu,
We find among the articles one on Catholics
and the Anti Draft Riots.' An article on
this subject from such sourse is eminently
worthy of perusal. DR.. Brownson undoubt.
edly wields an abler pen than any other Cath
oiic writer in this country, and his produc-
tions always find readers among thinkers,
whether they agree with him or not. He seems
TO write what he thinks, no matter whether or
not itsuits the church authorities. In his Re
cieU he has taken most dec ided stand in IA
vor of the Union, from the time the rebellion
broke out. In his article on the July riots
he endeavors to clear the Catholic Church as
such from the responsibility. He admits that
the rioters almost exclusively were Irish,nen
and Catholics, but charges the responsibility
mainly on the Democratic party for arousiug
them to do as they did.
We here give a brief extract from The ar
ticle:
'.These things they did not as Catholics
or lrishmen, but as adherents of the Demo-
cratic party, as partisans of Horatio Seymour,
Fernando Wood, James Brooks, Clement L.
pallandigham, and others, by their incendia-
ry speeches, and by leading articles in the
Democratic journals, had for months been ex-
citing them against the Government, against
the conscription, against the war, and had
worked them up to uncomfortable fury. The
shouts of the mob tell Us what was its anip,us. |
under what influence or Inspiration it acted, |
and these were hurrahs for Governor Sew |
mour, Fernando Wood, General Mcclellan |
and Jetf. Davis. A Catholic layman or an |
lrishman known to be Republican or sup
porter of the Administration was in no less
danger from the mob than a Protestant, q ma
tive American. or even negro.
''Colonel o, ,B:ien, so savagely murdered,
was an Irshmsn and Catholic and one of /
the best friends of the Irish emigrants in this
city-a Catholic and an Irishman himself
escaped the fury of the mob only by keeping
himself concealed. On the other hand, Cath
olic Irish men volunteered TO aid the author
tiles in suppressing the riot, and were among
the bravest and most efficient IN protecting
the lives and property of our citizens. No,
the mob was literally Democratic mob, got
up st the instigation of the Democratic lead
srs, and led on by men in sympathy with the
enemies of the United Ststes--a simply pro.
slavery Democratic mob. Not Catholic
1or an Irishman, not German nor an Amer
can, who was not a partisan Ut the Seymours,
he Woods and the Vallandighams, mot even a
Democrat not hostile to the war and to negro
had. any part in il, either as in
tigstor or actor.''
