The Hamilton True Telegraph gives
the following sketch of speech by
Vallandigham, made at Convention
of the Democracy of Butler County, at
Hamilton, few days ago:
Convention then adjourned, but be-
fore the members had got out of the
building, Clement L. Vallandigham, he
that hibernated in Canada, appeared
among them. They gathered around
him, much in the manner of children
clustering round father, that has been
absent for period.
He took the stand and talked to them
in fatherly manner, telling them that
"every thing wasn't lovely and the
goose didn't hang high" He also
said that, owing to certain, circumstan-
ces, he preferred not representing them
in the Senate for few years yet.
Among other things he said that it
was a painful sight to see that the
Democratic party was not buoyed upon
the wings Of hope, as it was a year
ago. That it was fact that the pros
poets of the Democracy were much
less fiattering than they were twelve
months ago. Ha5
He deplored policy men; said the
Democracy were of the poor Of the
earth, but were right; Democrats had
no money, no telegraphs, no railroads,
and no churches, and that he did not
regard these last of much importance
at any rate. He called upon them to
be true to principles (Which means al
ways vote the straight ticket, even to
dying for them if necessary (which
means to seek winter quarters IN some
bleak but hospital climate-Canada for
instance.
The no church doctrine brought
down the house, fully indicating the
position of the Democracy.

mouth when he first appeared, but al
ter few moments Butler County air
seemed to revive and reanimate him and
toward the last Richard was himself
again. He smiled as ghostly and dis
played as much ivory as ever when ne
began to thunder at the churches, and
to boast about martyring.

Kanawha River Improvement.

We are glad to know that this i'm
provement is to be pushed forward.
A letter recently received in Charles
ton, from gentleman in New York,
says: "The plan for future operations
abost tho Eanawhn Piunr inAP->~~
ment has been decided upon. 1t is to
get S750,000 subscribed in money
and 250,00 subscribed in land. By
the time the s750,000 in money is ex-
pended, the land will have increased
ten-fold in value. Thus making the
Navigation Stock very valuable. -
This is simple and grand scheme
for improving the navigation of the
Kanawha River. 1t must succeed, if
the people of the Kanawha will be
true to themselves, and it seems that
q number are already at work in
earnest Since this letter was re-
ceived here last Thursday, $50, 900
has been subscribed in land, and
those of our people who are interest
ed in the improvement are ready to
embark in the enterprise-which,
when finished, will make our coal
lands worth as much as those of Pitts
burg, which sell frsm $500 to $1,000,
per acre. With the improvement
there is no doubt that we can COM
pete-and successfully-with Pitts
burgh in coal, while without it our
lands will lie almost worthless, as
they have for twenty years. Then
let the people make up their minds
to subscribe part Of their lands to
this stock. The stock will be valua-
BILE and the remaining lands will be
of imense value.
The $3.50, 900, is to be subscribed
in New York;-about 100000, has
already been subscribed there, and
$4,000 in money in Kanawha-which
Is all the money asked Of Kanawha.-
This River improvement will be
worth more to the Kanawha Coal,
Iron and Salt interests than the Rail
road and Capital both together, and
we hope our people will come up
cheerfully and at once, and show that
they appreciate the value of the werk.
A lsng pull, strong pull, and pull
all together, will put the improve
ment in operation. Let no senseless
envy of foreign control keep any one
back. 1t is senselsss to suppose that
the money can be raised in the Val
ley to make any bona tide improve
ment, but cur citizens have lands,
and by putting them in--or small
portion of them, they can show their
faith and good will which will insure

A Wonderful Flying Machine In
Course of Construction.

W. s. Hutchings, of st. Louis, the
inventor. has laid his plans before
the best aronauts in America, and all
pronounce it the only success ever
made in aerial navigation-in navi.
gatlng the air and turning in any di
rectien, at any highth, with the pleas
ure OF the navigator. This wonder-
ful invention in navigating the air
has been the study of the past centu
ry, and has at last been successful
The model has already been built, it
is twenty eight inches in hight, and
works with the utmost ease and up
ON mechanical and philosophical
principles.
In constructing this machine, the
laws Of grsvitation have been well
studied. The large machine now in
course Of construction measures
twenty eight feet in hight with an
expansion Of twenty two feet, full
weight of the entire machine 2s5 lbs.
when ready for aerial navig alton,
capable of carrying with ease in the
air $50 pounds. The principle is en-
tirely new, and the invention claims
the compression Of hot and cold air
In running caleric engine which is
attached to the back. The body is
enclosed in complete set of mail
armor made of vulcanized India rub
Der and brass with glass in front,
which protects the body and face
from the wind. Attached to the en-
gine and connected by means of
tube passing over the shoulder, is a
large cylinder, containing the COM
pressed air, which is worked with
each hand. By this means the navi-
gator can 60 up or down with ease,
and regulates the engine at his own
leisure. Attached to the feet, head
and cylinder are doubled, inflated
wings, some four feet in length; and
by means efcords and Indian rubber
valves attached to the fy-wheels of
the engine, are two large inflated
wings, on the compressed air princi-
pie, eighteen feet in length, and
which turn with lightning speed in 8
circular revolution, bearing up the
entire machine. Immediately above
the engine. is attached, by means of
cords, large double inflated para
chute, measuring sixty-slx feet in
circumference, with q tube connect
ing from the center with the caloric
engine. This is the protection in
making an ascension without danger
to the aeronaut, in case of accident
or breaking of the machine. We
understand the first trial will take
place near this city, with the wonder
full feat of jumping out of a balloon at
the hight Of 1000 feet from the earth;
and as the inventor proposes to ac-
CUmpIIsn Uuro nInscar nc n~S gI ossU
in his own invention. III
it is success, aerial navigation is
certainly the most useful invention
of modern times, outrivaling the tel
egraph or steam navigation.
