RADICAL INoEND1ARIsM.


Nothing can be more marked than the con
trast exhibited between the conduct Of the
people Of the Southern States, on the one
hand, and Of the radical extremists on the
other hand. Republican journals like the New
York Evening Post have admitted that public
questions are discussed with far more candor
and moderation in the South than in the
North, This difference is especially obsery-.
able in the discussion concerning the pro-
posed constitutional amendment Whilst at
the South the case is argued simply on
It's merits, and as a question Of moral and
political expedieney, the radical journals and
orators press it.with the vehement turbulence
which ignores the power Of reason, and relies
solely on physical force. The radical party
appears never TO have softened beneath the
benign influences Of peace. 1t seems to have
eueeuInbed to theresentments, theanimosities,
ana tie vindictiyeness which are engendered
by a state ofwar, to such an extent that these
have become part of its nature. These pas
sions stimulated by party ambition have pro-
dueed the extraordinary phenomenon which
is new witnessed in this country--that of a
great 4ldfDy QeyOGlIg ttil itS SueISlGS 10 lAS
task ofrekindling the fires of war, or of CON
verting the government into a vast central
izeddegpotism, directed in the interest of a
usurping minority of the people
Fortunately, the Southern people have
nafhing to answer for in this situation Of
affairs. They have no thought Of anything
but to reorganize their industrial system, to
re-establish their commerce, and, if possible,
to restore their broken fortunes It is mott too
much to say that noanount Of oppression, no
amount Of injustice, could tempt the people
Of these States 70 q trial Of arms. They have
made that issue, and their utter failure has
taught them its ntter hopelessness. Never
theIess, it seems to be the fixed policy Of Che
radicals 10 provoke some sort of a conflict if

A WoNDeRFUL RAILROAD INVENTION.
The London Herald, says: 1t is d
curious fact that for the last four years
an invention which may prove one
of the most useful as well as the most
wonderful Of this wonder working age,
has been in view within an hours drive
Of Paris. The general public are at
this moment unaware that at La jon
chere, close to the pretty village of
Bouginal, they have an opportunity of
witnessing every Sunday the extraor-
binary sight of . railway train ascend
ing steep gradinet without the aid of
steam, and the carriages of which are
destitute of wheels.
This invention is due to French
engineer, NJ. L. ID. Girrad. 1t is found
ed on new application of an old prin-
cipal, viz; That layer Of water intro
duced between two metal surfaces, en-
ables them to glide on each other with
as little friction as slab of ice on the
polished surface ola frozen lake. Mr..
Girrad has conceived the idea of ap
plying this principle to locomotion, and
the experiment he has been carrying
on for the last four years successfully
demonstrates that it is applicable to
the propelling Of railway trains. In
his system wheels are dispensed with,
and there can be no doubt that, were
his invention applied to ordinary rail
ways, an engine which is now only
able to draw train weighing. say
800 tons, at the rate oftwenty miles an
hour, wonld, with the same expenditure
of fuel be able to draw double the
weight at double the speed. Mr.. Cir
rad, however, proposes to discard steam
rs motive power. This is the weak
part of its invention-the value of
which consists in the substitution of
'ledge carriages instead ofcarriages o.
wheels. These carriages are fitted OF
slides, which fit upon rails ola peculiar "

ween the slide and the rail, and a

THRILLING ACCIDENTAL subsci 4
living in the neighborhood of i gA
louisville has given us the particulars
of an accident which promised to be
most unfortunate in ITS results, but in
which the victim was providentially
saved. 1t seems that there was
meeting in progress at a church near
Taylorsville, and the lady in question,
together with male friend, was on
her way to attend it. The couple were
walking leisurely on the road, when,
to the horror and dlsmay of the gen
tleman, the lady, Miss Ellen Sorev,
suddenly disappeared in the earth.
Recovering as quickly as possible
from his surprise, the gentleman COM
menced search for his missing CON-
panion, and, hearing sounds which
seemed to. come from the bowels of
the earth, he soon discovered that she
had fallen in cavern which afterwards
turned out to be eighty feet deep. As
sistance was rendered by persons
living in the vicinity as quickly as pos
sible by letting bed cords into the
hole, and after much labor the lady
was hauled up, to the qualification Of
her friends, very little injured. The
cavern into which Miss Sorey had
fallen is fearful place, being about
three feet in circumference at its
mouth and eighty feet deep. Fortu-
nately she caught on a ledge and was.
therefore sayed.-Lebanon (Tenn.)
