sCertain Democratic politicians Of our

are sedulously intoxicating the belief that
the ascendency Of their party would put
an end 10 the present civil war. Now II
Il were distinctly proclaimed that the
Democrats, II restored TO power, would
make peace with the rebels on their
own terms, the assertion would be by no
means Incredible. But the impression
sought to be made that the Pro.Slayery
rebels would lay down their arms and
return to loyalty II their old friends the
Democrats were In power at Washington,
Is utterly unwarranted by facts. The Sc.
cessionist Master.Spirits are thorough be.
levers In what Gov. Seward once lelic.
itiously termed the 'irrepressible conflict
They hold with Mr.. Lincoln in 1858, that
the Country cannot permanently remain
half slave and half free. And, despairing
OF their ability 10 master and rule II per.
sistently and thoroughly, they have fully
resolved TO segregate and tear away what
they esteem their hall Of It completely
and forever. Holding themselves gen.
llemen and cavaliers by birth and breed.
Ing they revolt against Democracy not
tess than against Anti.Slavery. They re.
pudiate the present Administration as q
Government ofsnobs rather than Of fanat.
les. They never feared that President
Lincoln would NEEDLE with their slaves,
but they cannot bear ihe7idea of being
governed by q hat.boatman and rail split.
Ter. 1t Is that inevitable Tendency OF
Northern ideas and Institutions to raise
the sons of clod.hoppers and cobblers to
the high places OF the land that has
plunged the chivalry Of the rice swamp
and the cotton field into the guilt of re-.
bellion. They mean to make an end
Of the rule of'muasils' whether Of one or
the other party, and will no longer be
placated by the utmost servility 10 the
peculiar institution Hence all attempts
to coax them back into the Union by a
restoration Of q Democratic rule and a
prospect Of its continuance are certain to
prove illusory. Tribune, March 8, 1861.

declared that the terms of peace which
would be insisted upon by his fellow.reb.
els were such as the Unionists would not
and could not accele TO until they should
be in the last stages Of exhaustion. They
would have West Virginia, which never
adhered to but has always opposed them,
and they would require popular vote
to be taken in Kentucky, Missouri, and
Delaware, TO decide whether those States
respectively should belong to the Union
or the Contederacy. And the Lieutenant,
though he crammed his letter with afro.

admit that he did not expect the Union

LONDON, Aug. 30.-The Telegraph has
the following: Being now psImiLted to
write on the approaching interview be-
tween the three Emperors, the Russian
press generally svows hopeful snd peaceful
auguries from the event. The GOLOs how
ever hints that the Slavonisn aud Eisuern
questions viii be brought on the taps;
that Russia though not greedy of conquest
must see the Christian subjects OF the
Porte protected from prescription and op-
preston; and that open declarations to this
effect may be made. Papal encroachments
in Germany and the Internationals will al
so afford points for discussion and combina-
ton.
The same paper says the Emperor Napo-
leon has frankly indicated his views with
regard 10 he forthcoming interview Of the
three Emperors at Berlin, the present con-
0itioa aud prospec of France, and other
topics of the day. Referring to the imper-
ial assemblsgs, His Majesty did not con-
slider that it inv Ives any immediate threat
or danger to the peace Of Europe, but ne
did not conceal bis belief that iI.ore than
compliment was intended by the unwOnted
me, ting, and that when each power bad
served iEs own immediate purpose by the
help of its neighbors, the partnership woult
be dissolved. Napoleon Ill. leant some
what severely on The protectionist views o
| NJ. Theirs, and on his lavish expenditure
| on the army, which he cOntrasted keenl.
with his peaceful views while in opposition
under the empire, and pretty plainly hinte'
that desp te the Presidents words Of peace
his mind was bent on war.
BERLIN, Aug. S0.-The Emperor o
Russia will arrive In this city next Thurs
day evening. He viii be preceded b,
Prince GortschakUff, who will leave F,ank

EVERY improvement in signal lights is
hailed with satisfaction by those who have
to use them. A new light has recently
been introduced into the Russian naval
service, which, for economy and indestruc-
tibility, must be very superior to any thing
now in use.
This apparatus consists of sheet metal
cylinder, having conicl top aud tuoe OF
about six inches in length projecting from
its bottom. 1t is filled with phosphate oil
calcium, which is prepared in the follow
ing manner: Pieces Of chalk are
put into crucible, together with quanil-
ty of phosphorus, and then brought 10
white heat The ch Tx, being intensely
hot, absorbs the vapors of phosphorus, ana
thereby becomes phosphate + chalk. Ire
apparatus, thus filed with this substanc /,
is Theoretically closed, and preserves IL iof
an l. definite period
When to be used the top Of the cone Is
cut of, and hole bored thr ugh the emu
| of the pendant tube. A Fl ,at is coHnec'
| ted with the cy ylinder, and tnen launched'
The water entering the tube, causes me
phosphate of calcium TO decompose ana u
generate aauaniity of gas, which, escapins
al the top, is ignited by contact with The ar
and remains so until the contents are en-
tirely consumed.

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. S0-A shocking
tragedy occurred this \ NJ. near Grave
City, village in this county. A0out niRe
years ago Michael Monk, a farmer, m ar
ried maiden woman nearly 40 years old +,
who owned farm, stock and implements.
During the last three years Monk was dis
sipated, aud on account of his extreme
cruelty and the squandering of her proper
ty, Mrs. Monk recently petitioned for a
divorce and her husband agreed to leave
her in quiet possession OF her property.
Subsequently, Monk went to his wife's
house and threatened to shoot her if she
would not live with him. He was arrested
on peace warrant but gave bail aud was
liberated. Yesterday be proceeded to the
house of f. NJ. Story, where his wife had
taken refuge and shot her three times with
a revolver, aud then placing the muzzle Of
the weapon in his mouth shot himself and
died immediately. Mrs. Monk is so terri
bly, wounded that she cannot recover.

tiers to Mr.. Bennett, the Sun tomorrow
prinis fac SMILES of two letters from
Stanley To Mr.. Fl. Noe, OF Sageville,
Long Island, who, in 1886, Gas Sankey's
compauion in Asia Minor. The Sun says !:
"These letters a,e taken from num-
Der Of which Mr.. Noe has put into our
uossession, all in Stsnley'S handwriting,
and all exhibiting a most startling resem-
blance to the letter of the Herald. This
resemblance seems to us TO afford very
strong argument against the authenticity OF
all the Stanley- Livingstone letters, and, in
deed, against Stauley's whole account of
his Journey in Africa. In fact, 1t Is diff
cult TO see how bis pretension
that be has found Livingstone, and has
received from bis pen and brought back
TO Europe the great mass OF communi-
cations signed with bis name, which
have been printed ON both sides Of the At
lantic, can be sustained under the light cast
on it, No one, we think, can compare the
Livingstone letter Of the Herald with the
Stanley letters to Noe without being i'm
pressed with the opinion that every word
and every line of all these are the work OF
the same h2Isd, and that this hand is Stan
leyis Such being the case, the whole
frame work + dec p,ion falls at once TO the
ground. If This conclusion shall be con-
tirmed by subsequent proofs, there Will De
no dispu that S anlev is the author OF the
most Il gautic hoax ever attempted upon the
credulity of mankind"

THERE is a great deal said about the In
crease of insanity in England and in this
country, and figures are piled up mountain
high to prove that the whole race is tending
to mema al alteration. We do not believe
that the intense living Of modern times has
much 10 do with it. We burn ourselves
away quicker than the ancients by ouI
ceaseless activities, but the apparent in
crease in insanity is simply due to the fsct
shat we have more institutions for that class
than Of old, aud thsy make themselves
known to larger extent than formerly
so, with the rapid TRANSMISSION Of news
from remote sections, an aggregate Of
crime Is hespsd up which used to be en-
tirely unlSnOwn; hence the apparent in.
crease. Let us take a cheerful view of The
matter.

WE recently read somewhere suggestion
for obtaining sleep under any circum-
stances, which sleepless persons might try,
at least. The body is to be placed in
state of entire pose, the would-be sleeper
resting nearly upon his back, and the head
moderately elevated by pillow. The ope-
ration must begin by gently inhaling all the
air he can iniO his lungs, and, when full,
slowly breathe through lose and mouth and
imagine that he actually sees a stream Of
vspor issuing from these members. Be
fore the air is thus blown out of the lun 3

an anvil chorus TO awaken him. So says
the writer Of the prescription. We have
tried it and found that we had not enough
imagination to see the mysterious stream.

upon plan to stop all new developments
for period OF six months from the lst oil
September next, in order to increase the
demand for oil and thereby enhance the
value. Meeting' have been held in Parker's s

further the object, and in all probability
nearly every producer will sign the pledge.
The result of this will be five dollars per
