A Singular Discovery.

We clip the annexed from the Santa
Rosa Democrat of Saturday:
''It has been claimed by scientific men
that Russian river at one time flowed
through Santa Rosa and Petaluna valleys,
and emptied into San Pablo bay, by way
Of Petaluma creek. A recent discovery
made while boring an artesian well on the
Petaluma flats, appears to substantiate this
theory. Mr.. Hill, who resides about a
mile below the city of Petaluma, recently
had an artesian we'll sunk on his place, and
when the depth Of two hundred feet was
reached, the drill brought to the surface
first the bark and then the wood of red
wood tree, in perfect state of preserva-
ton.
After striking the top bark they bored
through four feet, and brought up the bot
tom bark, showing the tree to be four feet
i'll diameter. Another artesian well was
sunk ten miles below the one already spO.
ken of one mile out of the marsh, immedi
ately OH the edge Of Petaluma creek, and
when about the same depth the same mate
rial was brought to the surface, also in ;
state of perfect preservation. In boil
instances flowing water was struck ut
depth Of two hundred and fifty feet.'

The Reply of Earl Granville.

The reply Of Earl Granville to the note
of the United States government on the
question Of the submission Of the claim Of
the United States for consequential DANA
ges to the Geneva conference has been re-
ceived by the Secretary Of State. 1t was
probably read to the Cabinet at the meet
ing yesterday, though an answer to the
same cannot be ready for many days. This
second message, as has been stated, is quite
an elaborate document, and in the main is
understood to be in the nature of a reply to
the positions maintainedb by the Secretary Oh
the direct question as to whether the treaty
covered the submission of the claim for in
direct damages. 1t does not, il is believed,
absolutely refuse to agree to all arbitration
Oh this issue, but the impression is left very
strong by indrection that without further
negotiation England will not go before the
Geneva board on the case as made up by
the United States. 1t is not impossible that
this negOt iatiOn may be at once entered

Plain words for the PeoD,c.

When broken down in health, strength and
spirits it is lot necessary that we should ask a
medical man whether invigOrant is neces-
sarv. Common sense tells that it is. The
only question to be decided is, what the invig-
GRANT shall be. A standard tonic and restora-
tive, which has been many years before the
public, and III which millions of the intelligent
classes repose the fullest faith, seems in a case
like this, to present the strongest claims to the
confidence of the prudent invalid. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters may be truly said to possess
these high recommendations. It's triumphant
progress during period OF twenty years, its
present popularity, and the uniform success
which attends it's in indigestion, nervous
debility, hillary complaints, fever and ague,
tenn and encrvate the mind, entitle it to the
rank of standard national specific. 1t is re-
garded in that light by the community atlarge,
and hundreds Of thousands of both sexes resort
to it at this season as a preventive of that nu-
merOus and harassing class of diseases which
take their rise from the miasmatic winds and
vapors of spring. 1t is stimulant: a tonic, an
Alternative and mild apericnt-fOur essential
restorative and protective clements of the ma
terra medica-united in single agreeable pre-
paration. Every ingredient is vegetable, Of the
finest quality, and absolutely pure. Hostcttcr's
Bitters is better known, held in greater esteem,
and commands a larger sale, than any other
proprietary medicine manufactured i'll this
! country OF imported from abroad.

Whom INO Mon Die .

Medical experience proves that, n cllrOn-
ic diseases, the greater number Of deaths
occur just before dawn. This is emil
nently true Of brain diseases, and Of all
those related cases where death results
from an exhaustion Of the vital power,
through overwOrk, excessive excitement,
or nervous prOstratiOn. 1t is at the hour
of ) o'clock in the morning that the life
torch is at its lowest cbb, and sue
cumbs most readily to the assault Of
epilepsy, or paralysis, or Of the fatal
lethargy that comes in those viyidly
beautiful picture dreams, for which
medical science has yet found no name,
and of which it has taken 10 sufficient cog
nizancc. Nine tenths Of those who die iii
this way expire i'll their sleep. In many
such cases if a friend were at hand to
waken the sleeper when the attack comes
on, or if he were to be awakened By some
accidental noise, lie might, by the use of u
few simple precautions, pTolong his life for
many years; for the shock which proves
fatal to the man wrapped in deep sleep
when the system is passive and relaxed,
would be victOriously repelied were
it armed with all its waking ener-
gies. Men who do brain work, and
who are on the shady side of forty, should
be on their guard against this insidious ell
emy. They should beware Of 3 o'clock, a.
III. for it is perilous hour. Do you find
Yourself unable to sleep when you retire
for the night, exhausted with your days
work? DO you, in vain, turn from one
side to the other? Does your brain per-
sist in working when you would feign
have rest? Do old saws and scraps of
rhyme repeat themselves in your memory
with wearisome iteration, defying your ut
most efforts to silence them? Then, say
to you, beware You will be sure to sleep
at last. 1t is only question of time for
sooner or later, nature will assert her
rights

DesfructiOn of Relics.

An interesting historical relic, or rather
a whole collection of relics, which it is i'm
possible to replace, have recently become a
prey to the flames in the ancient city OF
Erfurt. There stands the Augustine mon
astery, in which Martin Luther lived and
conceived lis first idea of a reformation,
converted at present into an orphan asy-
lum. A fire suddenly broke out few days
ago, and has totally destroyed the most ir-
teresting part of the building in which was
Luther's cell, and also the room where he
first gave shape to his great scheme. In
these rooms, which have beea up to the
latest time shown to strangers as curiOsi-
ties, Luther's Bible was kept, with margis.
nal notes in the reformers handwriting, tC-
gether with the painting g Deaths Dance"
by Beck. and other valuable relics. All of
these have been burned. The pecuniary
damage is estimated at about G0,000 tha-
lers the historical loss is incalcnlable.

Carl Schurz i'm Germany.

The very romantic flight of the agitator
kinkel from the prison at Spandau excited
much interest at the time. One of the
parties to this escape has just died at
Strehlen, near Dresden. He was a landed
proprietor, AdOlph Hensel by naTe, and
his. share in KinkePs flight was never dis
covered till his death. The "VUlks lei
tung" relates the story as follows: On the
night Ofthe Sth of November, 1850, Hensel,
disguised as a coachman, sat waiting on
the box of carriage close by the house OF
correction at Spandau, ready to drive away
panied by Carl Schurz aud DR.. Frieden-
thai, and with them saw Knkel let
himself down with rope from the giddy
height Of an opening in the prisOn-roof.
He drove off at a tearing gallop with
Schuz and Kinkel soon after midnight. He
had chosen his strongest and swiftest
horses. They pressed on without a mo-
ment's rest to Gransee, village eight Ger
man miles from Spandau. Here the hun
CRY and exhausted horses were baited, and
at o'clock on the morning of the 9th OF
| November the fugitives reached the frontier
of StrelitZ, and arrived at AlstIelitz at /
| o'clock in the day. Tie horses had done
! thirteen German miles almost at stretch.
! uensel drove back to his estate from Al
strelitz, and the fugitives went on to ROS-
| took from which place, as is well known,
! they embarked for England. The police
| never succeeded in identifying the coach
/ man. without whose assistance the escape
| could scarcely have been effected, and
Hensel never experienced any molestation
! from the authorities.

Row LAST NIGHT.-As the tOrch-light
procession Of negroes celebrating the late
elections in the city passed along the Main
! street, last night in front of the Columbia
Hotel, rocks were thrown from the pro-
! cession through the glass doors Of the hotel,
at the white men standing inside, which,
| being replied to by pistol shot from the
! hotel side, came very near causing a Seri-
Gus and bloody at1ray. Rocks and brick
bats were hurled by the mass Of negroes in
. rapid succession, smashing the glasses and
painfully iniuring several gentlemen who
were sitting quietly in the vestibule Of the
hotel.
A WhOOp and savage yell was raised by
the infuriated negroes, and wildly brand
ishing their torches, a rush was made
for the door of the hotel, and for the space
often minutes, furious struggle was made
to force the passage. Through the
efforts of Captain jackson, however,
with some of the police force, and
Of Sheriff Frazee, their entrance
was successfully prevented, though for
some minutes it appeared as if the mob
would OverpOWer them and rush in, in
spite Of them in which case, maddened
with excitement, a. the negroes were, seri-
Gus consequences must have followed
Much credit is due u Captain Jackson for
his promptness and intrepidity, and to
Sheriff Frazee. a detachment Of United
States infantry was stationed at the hotel
to prevent a repetition of the riot.-Colum-

Scientific Mortar.

Col. Scott, of South Kensington, England,
has invented mortar, for which several
advantages are claiIcd. 1t is made by
simply mixing with the water used in the
preparation Of the mortar a small quantity
of sulphate of lime in the form Of either
natural gypsum or plaster Of Paris (burnt
gypsum). Instead of sulphate of lime,
proto-sulphate Of iron (green vitriol) may
be used, or better still, sulphuric acid, for
the secret Of the process is the effect pro-
duced by this acid. However, sufficient
acid is contained in gypsum to accomplish
the end desired, and the use Of gypsum is
much the most convenient. The mixture
is prepared in the pan Of the ordinary NOR
tar mill !; lime is added, and, after being
ground for three or four minutes, the sand,
burnt clay, or other ingredients are added,
and the whole are ground for ten minutes
more. Thus ordinary lime is at once con-
vcrted into cement mortar, which sets
| rapidly, and can be used for concrete in
brclllaying or in plastering at a cheaper
rate than lime prepared in the usual way.
Lime thus treated with sulpIluric acid or
sulphatcs will take up twice as much sand
as when slaked. Tiles joined together by
! Portland cement, after fourteen days, were
! separated by weight Of 1ifty-six pounds,
| while scientific mortar, containing one part
! lime and five parts sand, under precisely
! the same conditions, required weight OF
| one hundred and fifty-cigIIt pounds to
/ overcome adhesion.

many years Republican member of Con-
gress, will head the delegation from that
State. Indiana, Kansas and Wisconsin
will all have influential delegations pres
ent.
But in Illinois General GRANTS own
State, the movement is assuming a most
formidable shape. Within day or two
past, Senator TRUMBULL, for the first
time, has declared his full endorsement of
the movement. Washington advices say
that while he did not authorize the pub
lished statement placing him among the
outspoken supporters of Judge DAVIS for
President, yet he does not hesitateto admit
substantially that he hopes the Cincinnati
Convention will be made up of the best
men of the Republican party, and will
nominate candidates who will command
the respect and votes of the great mass Of
the Republican party as well as all ele-
ments in opposition to the Administration.
He added that he expects to support the
nominees Of that Convention.
Senator LOGAN has uuqualifiedly an
nounced that he would attend the Conven-
ton and do all in his power to secure the
nominal on of Senator TRUMBULI" Hon.
LEONARD SWEET and Hon. JESSE *.
DUBOIS, among the late President
LINCOLN's earliest friends and supporters,
will be delegates from Illinois.
These movements, embracing SO many
Of the best and most trusted Republican
leaders, look like business. If no unto
ward event should happen, and the Con-
vention does not split upon the question OF
Revenue Reform, we believe its delibera-
tiOns and actions will have controlling in
fiuence on National politics. 1t can no
longer be looked upon as Mass Meeting.
1t is assuming the proportions of great
Party Conventional representative body.
If it makes good its promise, the hopes OF
| its projectors may be fully realized.

WE REMEMBER the old story of a cele-
brated temperance lecturer taking a sot
around with him, to serve as 4 frightful
example of the evils of intemperance.
Upon :. similar principle, we are glad to
see that Judge Moore has exchanged
circuits with . Judge" Watts. 1t would
be we'll for g Greasy Sam" to ride every
circuit in North Carolina, in order that the
people might have an example of a speci-
men Radical Judge. We could desire no
better g campaign document We may
Judge of the impression EGreasy Sam - is
making in the Albemarle country from the
following correspondence of the Norfolk
T'irginidn:
'Ihave Just returned from Martin County
Court, held i'll the quaint old town of Will
liamston, and have thought it might be of
some interest to your readers to learn what
is going on, and especially to give you
some idea of how our courts are conducted.
There was one case that deserves special
mention. 4 negro Of very bad character,
as the sequel will show, was tried for lar
ceny and convicted, and when the Judge,
or " Greasy SAM" Gas he is familiarly
called) ordered the negro to stand up and
receive his sentence, he Che Judge) di-
gressed very much and gave him perfect
homily OH the sinfulness of such course
and wound up by sending him to the peni-
tentary for three years, whereupon the
negro replied, l don't care if you do send
me to the penitentiary, l will meet you in
hell and fight it out with you there.
The Greasy Sam ordered him off to
Jail, and it required several to execute the
order, as he resisted the Sheriff. 1 feel,
from the looks of things generally, the
Greasy Sam and negro were both pretty
drunk. Greasy Sam certainly was the
night before. How is that for high
