The excessive heat has almost deprived
our lives of energy. Lassitude PREVAILS
Everybody is indulging in relaxation, al
though all continue to pursue their voca-
tions. If the "Polans would only make
a commotion in the land of the white bear,
and give us the benefit of breeze from
Greenland's icy mountains" we would
feel more interest in DR.. Halls expedition.
All the sweating has not prevented a
dry time, and the hot dust has grown vola-
tile, is drawn in with every breath, and sets
housekeepers crazy, by penetrating every
nook and Granny. We have had no case of
sunstroke, unless the word may be applied
to horses as well as men. A horse driven
by Mr.. VIM. S. Kerr, fell exhausted and
died on Wednesday.
On Wednesday night, a healthy thun-
der storm gave us a change, for which we
are thankful.
Camp meeting is the great question
now, and moving out to Woodlawn has
occupied the time of number of families
during the week. About twenty tents go
from here.
Our market is reasonably we'll supplied
with fruits, although the prices seem high
compared with the cities.
The thrashers are busy through the
country getting out wheat and oats, and
teams are constantly coming into our ware
houses with grain, hay and straw.

"A few years ago Ireland had a populaz
ton of ten millions. According to the last
census there are now only half that number
of people in the Green Isle. The same fal-
ling off in population is found in several of
the agricultural counties of England and
Wales. People pour into the large towns as
workers or paupers, and the best emigrate
The great towns are growing very fast
London and Glasgow probably the fastest
of any. Manufactures increase, agriculture
diminishes. About onethird of the food
consumed in England is imported from
abroad, cattle as we'll as corn. The English
papers in stating these facts are seriously
discussing the questions: How long is this
to 90 on, and what is to come of it?

Secretary Boutwell, and Commissioner
Pleasonton could not arrive at an amicable
understanding. Thatwa appare Mt Both
are strong, positive, men, and equally tena-
cious of what they believe to he their rights

lie service demanded that there should be
concord between the two departments.
One Or the other must go. The President
has accordingly come forward and removed
Commissioner Pleasonton, not because he
prizes him less as an officer and friend, but
because he prizes harmony more.

SLAVERY IN BRAZn..-There is no longer
any room for question that Brazil is about
to abolish slavery throughout her domn-
ions, bill to that effect having already
passed second reading in the Chamber OF
Deputies. 1t is clearly the purpose of the
Emperor who is now in Europe, that this
great evil should he removed from his coun-
try during his absence; and it is even said
that the act of emancipation is to be car
ried by him to Rome for the endorsement
of the Pope, when the event shall take
place. We shall not stand upon the man
ner of its doing, so that this great act OF

Another week of horrors! Here are
some of the items from a six days record:
Accident on the Maine Central Railroad,
two killed and fifty nine wounded; accident
OH the Houston Railroad, two killed and
three wounded; "mysterious explosion
in Jersey City, three killed and three
wounded; steamboat explosion on Chau-
tauqua Lake, four killed and fourteen

ton, twenty men and boys killed. During
the past five weeks more people have been
killed and wounded in the United States
than there were in many of the important
engagements of the war A conflict which
resulted in one hundred and fifty killed on
both sides, rose to the magnitude of a
heavy battle. The dead of the 12th-of-
July riots and the Westfield disaster alone
equalied that number. We fear the Amer
ican public are growing reckless of life and
indifferent to the crimes Of those who heed

GREAT Coal MINE D1sAsTER.-On the
Nth inst, an awful accident occurred at
the Eagle Shaft, Pittston, Pa, by the
explosion of damp. Eighteen men are
known to have been at work in the cham
ber in which the explosion occurred, all of
whom have been brought out dead In
going to and from their work the miners
used an air shaft, which they ascended and
descended by means Of a ladder, the main
opening not being provided with safety
car and therefore considered unsafe 1t is
supposed that the explosion blew away the
props, and consequent fall of the roof
followed, completely blocking up the pas
sages, and cutting off the means of exit,
the explosion, which is not probable
Everything that was possible was done to
extricate the imprisoned miners. Outside
the scene was heart-rendins in the extreme.
Thousands sympathizing citizens, miners
and others were present. Women and chill
dren were weeping, wringing their hands,
and mourning aloud for the loved and lost
and waiting, in anxious, hopeless expecta-
ton, for each new report from the poison
GUS pit. This mine has been nearly ex-
hausted, and was known to be filled with
the black damp. Yet it was considered
safe, and has been constantly worked since

Political manifestations multiply
as the Prudential year draws near. Chief
Justice Chase's letter to the West Virginia
Democrats affords unmistakable evidence
that he still Graves Democratic nomina-
tion on New Departure platform. But
Mr.. Alexander Stephens wishes it to be
understood that if this means acquieScence
in the fraudulent Fourteenth and Fif-
teenth Amendments, -" he will take new
departure for a new party rather than swal-
low it. Following the lead of Messrs.
Stephens and Toombs, Jacob Thompson,
of Mississippi, President Buchanan's Secre-
tary of the Interior, comes out flat-footed
against Mr.. Vallandigham's advance, and
declares that he will have nothing to do
with it. Senator Frank P. Blair wants
Gratz Brown, of Missouri, to be the DEM
ocratic Presidential candidate. He, and
General Thomas Ewing, of Ohio-the for
mer in an interview, and the latter in Il
speech at Columbus, Ohio-have given in
their adhesion to the New departure. 1t
will be seen from these and similar express
sions of opinion, that the Democrats are
divided on this doctrine. While those at
the North indorse it with great unamimity,
Southern Democratic leaders are equally
united in opposing it.

Arrested. George Peace, colored, was
arrested, at Elkton, on board of the P. NJ
train on Saturday last, charged with steal
ing the pocket-book of an Elkton young
lady. When accused of the theft, he
became very indignant and positively
denied it; but when the property was found
in his possession, he claimed to have picked
it up from the seat, the young Miss having
vacated upon Peace taking a seat beside
her. He says he was waiter in the St.
Lawrence Hotel, Philadelphia, and was on
his way to Darlington, Hartford county,
Nd, where his parents reside. The Sheriff
took him before Esquire Howard, who held
him to bail, in the sum of $500, in default

trial at the September term of Court.
