The signals are given by the whistle, by lanterns nags and mott ms of the arms. Their signi6. cation is: .-. :aaI ..',..-
 One whistle Down breaks'
 Two whistles-'O6 breaks
 Three wbistles-.Back up.' a.-..u
 Continued whistle-'Danger'
 A rapid succession of short whistles is the cattle alarm. at which the breaks will always be put down.
 A sweeping parting of hands on level of eye is the signal to go ahead.' ...7.
 A downward motion of one hand, with ex. tended arms, to slop.' ,avs9
 A beckoning motion of one hand, to back. :. A lantern raised and lowered vertically is a signal for Starting swung at right angles, or crossing the track to stop ; swung in a circle, back the tsain' -

LORDS IN THE RETAIL TRADE.-The English papers are struck by the fact that some titled men in England and Ireland actually work for g living Here is ssobbish paragraph
 Lord James Butler, oftbe house of Ormond of Llanthony, is not only state steward in Dublin Castle. but retail dairyman.. Ills .lordship's carts, with the owners name in- scribed thereon according to law, traverse Dublin, supplying all who will take at least four quarts Of my lords milk daily this is ou- ly one of the many examples of trading by noblemen. The eccentric Lord Stanhope an
 prenticed two of his sons to handicraft business There was once Loid Taynham, who in part nership with tailor, made money by selling, or pretending to sell, government appoint ments. Recently. Lord Thomas Gordon was in the Bankruptcy Court as a tobacconist and Lord Henry Lottus is now before the same court. his vocation being that of steward to the Marquis of Ely, his master being also ? bis nephew. Many other examples might be addnced wherein the calling and the title, ol the individual seem to be out of harmony.

MT Vallandigham, in letter to his Dayton, Ohio organ, denies that the Philadelphia Convention twas Democratic Convention, i" and that ''the Democratic party is bound eith- CT by it's platform or it's address, He like wise says that the Democratic Senators and Representatives fought to have known and some of them dld know that the secret purpose of the Convention was to break up the Demo- cratic party:" 80 the Vallandgham copper heads would not go into the meeting until it's managers gave the assurance that it was nU part of their purpose to form new party, and at the Convention to give up both the new name and the new party for the present. "- This disclosure, added to what Mr Vallandig- ham says foliwing, is all that we want to make plain, beyond all doubt, that the Convention of Doolittle, Dick Taylor, Orr < Co.,, was an unmeaning and valueIess dumb show aad Was without form and void :'' aa .-..-..
 "But the danger is not all passed yet, and it behooves the masses of the Democracy to see to it hat their leaders, so called, make no more mistakes Cooperation is one thing surrender and fusion quite aootber. The next National Convention must and will be Demo

The National Union Committee has been permitted to strut and fret it's brief hour on the stage the mimic monarchs and tinsel kings have played their parts, while the Democratic snpernumeraries on the boards and behind the scenes, aud the Democratic crowds in the audltorium-pit, dress-circle. galleries and aIl-have lent them selves to exalt the swelling scene. But the 'rehearsal'is is now over. and- the actors who 90 vastly enjoyed their gorgeous airs and state, and who tor a time seemed really to fancy themselves the characters they personated, are all mere men again. When the great drama in real life begins, other scenes will be enacted

VIII prevent revolution and anarchy so long
as the policy Of the majority compels The
minory to hate the organic law, and teach
g oy example the whole people to disre.
!" But It is said you will sacrifice all the
results OF the war. and abandon ali we have
gained and fought for. What did we fight
TORI President Llncoln said it was to re-
duce 10 obedience to the Constitution the
rebellion IN certain State ., and that the res-
toration OF the Union, either with or with.
out slavery, was what he fought for. Nor
was Congress less explicit, as the Joint re-
solution passed July /, 1861, will show:,
Rsoiued, That the present dspIorabe civil war has
been forced upon the country By the disuni ,nss Of
the Southern States now in rebellion against the
Constitutional Government and in arms around the
capital; thatin this national emergency Congr ess,
banishng all feeling Of mere passion resentme mt,
VIM recollect only its duty to the whole coun try;
that this war is not prosecuted upon our part in any
spirit Of oppression, nor for the purpose Of overhr ow
ing OF interfering with the rights or established in.
sutions Of the States; but to defend and mai ntain
the supremacy Of the Constitution and all laws made
in pursuance thereof and to preserve the Unio with
oil the dignity, equality and rights of The several

There is what we fought for-to " main.
tain the supremacy Of the Constitution"
and "to preserve the Union" Applause.1
Shall we sacrifice this by ourselves, sub
hitting to its supremacy, or do we not
rather abandon what we have gained when
we ourselves infringe its provisionsf Why,
gentlemen, slavery is abolished secession
is crushed I; the Constitution is supreme
at the Southland all this we propose to
maintain as we'll as you we only ask furth>
er that the Constitution shall be supreme

that we would let these States back with
an unfairly augmented represen tationr
reply that will FIRST fulfil my constitutions
al obligations il the heavens fall ; but that
supremacy once established, l will 60 on
with any party to insist upon fair equali-
zatioa for representation and .let me say.
that | think no party could maintain itself
for moment at the North which shnuld
oppose an equitable and Constitutional
settlement Of this question.
