The Orrnt Republican Orntor ( Hpnta.
The following sketch of Castelar, the great
Hejmblicau orator of Bpiin, by a writer in
Apjldon'g Journal, will be road with
interest:
Emilio Castelar is the Wendell Phillips of
Spain. His oratory ia said to hold his hearers
breathless and spellbound. ISy those who
agree with him he is adored. He does not
seek office, and, when publicly charged with
doing so, replied that he thought the men
who had freed Spain were fit to rule it. He
is the leader of those terrible people, those
bugbears of politiciims, the radicals, ne
devotes himself to publishing tho truth, pure
and simplf, pleasant or unpleasant, without
fear, favor, or ill-temper; to criticising, from
the vantage-ground of independence, the acts
of Government, pointing out tho trae publio
policy, and showing wherein those acts differ
or square with it. He knows that the free
dom and justice he proclaims will at last pre
vail, and finds the education of ruiblio oninion
the noblest function of a publio man. In a
country where three-fourths of the people
cannot read, this duty is by no means easy.
Yet Madrid in September last had forty-five
daily papers. In a great portion of these,
every speech of his is printed, reprinted by
the country press, and read by tho lettered to
the unlettered, lie is Professor of History
in the University of Madrid, and his speeches
ehow his mastery thereof, Years of study
and thought have prepared him for the grand
part he now plays in regenerating Spain.
AVhen he speaks in the Cortes, it is alter care
ful watching of events and debates; and he
marshals fact, simile, and passion with noble
aim, dramatic effect, and startling force.
Under the rule of Isabella and Narvaez, he
was editorially connected with four different
liberal journals, the Dincusion, the T'ribuna,
the Iberia, and the Soberania National (Na
tional Sovereignty). Through these, as well
as his professorship, he became known to the
whole Spanish-speaking world. Several
South American republics offered him large
inducements to settle among them. He has
refused other offers to change his abode to
advantage, choosing to cling to his country.
Speaking to the people in tho theatre of his
native town, fchowing how he preferred being
representative to more tempting honors, he
exclaimed in a burst of honest pride, "My
same is sculptured from the Alps to the
Andes!" Hefore the revolution he visited
Home. He also spent somo time in France,
where he was a devoted attendant on the lec
tures of Edonard Laboulaye, who admired
him greatly, and predicted for him a grand
future, lie was a member of the General
Peace Congress of 18(17.
In the gi tat debates of last year, on the
formation of a now Constitution for Spain,
he took a glorious share. Leader of a party
made up of bitter partisans, and opposed by
those as bitter,he on more than one occasion
lifted all parties clear above the mists of pre
judice and bigotry, and united them in gene
rous, liberal enthusiasm. On the 17th of
March he first drew notice from Americans
by qnieting a mob of women who had
gathered round the Cortez building to de
mand the abolition of conscription. On
April 8 he sharply attacked the ministry for
allowing the Uuke de Montponsier (one of
Louis Philippe's family, whom that kingjmar
ried thirty years ago to Isabella's sister,
hoping thus to seat an Orleans on the Iberian
throne) to remain Captain General in the
army, and hinted that it paved the way to
Beat him on the vacant throne. Two days
wier, oppobing me clause reported by the
Committee on the Constitution whioh pro
vides that "monarchy is the form of govern
ment adopted by the Spanish nation," he
delivered a tremendous speech, which placed
him among the foremost advocates of repub
lican institutions everywhere. Showing the
effect of kingcraft on his country, he cried:
"We are a vast charnel-house, stretching
from the Pyrenees to the Sea of Cadiz; we
have no agriculture, no industry, no trade."
On this speech even the London Times corre
spondent commented that, "while Senor Cas
telar is erratic as an orator, he is incompara
ble as a gentleman," remarkable for dignity
and couitesy in discussion. In the same,
upeech he naid: "Garibaldi held a crown in
Lis hand at Naples. Instead of destroying it,
he gave it to the house of Savoy; but the
house on whose head he put a crown put a
bullet into his body at Asprooionte, and a
deeper one into hi heart at Mentone."
About five days later Manterola, Canon of
Vittoria, a city famous in tho campaigns of
Sir John Moore and Wellington against the
French in northeastern Spain, aud one of the
principal seats of intolerance and conserva
tion in that Carlist mountain region, attacked
in the Cortes the passages in the draft of the
constitution providing for toleration to for
eigners, and declaring that, "if any Spaniards
shall profess & religion different from the
Catholic, these provisions shall apply to
them." He considered them as coming from
foes of religion; and the beginning of demo
ralization. Castelar sprang to his feet,
and replied in that speech which rang
through the civilized world, and immor
talized him. Standing in the city of the
Inquisition, the capital of tho land where a utos
da fe were popular amusements, and whero
religious intolerance lingered iu the law till
1M!S standing in the crimson somi-circular
Cortes chamber where Narvaez had con
quered lpartero, Kivero, aud O'Donnell;
the statue of Thilip II, who gave his sou Don
Carles (Schiller's hero,) to the Inquisition
for the crime of Protestantism, before him
near the President's chair: surrounded by
paintings of the historic glories of Spain,
this Professor of History called up the
shadows of the past, and caused them to stalk
in warning before the representatives of that
Catholic nstion. He showed that great king
crushing Protestants, Moors, and Jews,
through the Inquisition's fiendish means;
he showed the mind of Spain banished,
her glories fading and her wealth fled,
closing with the thiilling words, "Great
is God in Sinai; the thunder precedes Him,
the lightning accompanies Him, the light en
velops Him, the earth trembles, the moun
tains fall in pieces ! But there is a greater
God than that. On Calvary, uaiied to a cross,
wounded, thirsty, dying, He prays 'Father,
forgive my executioners, forgive my perse
cutors, pardon them, for they know not what
they do !' Grout is the religion of power, but
greater is the religion of love. Great is the
religion of implacable justice, but greater is
the religion of pardoning mercy. And I, in
the name of that religion I, in the name of
the Gospel come here to ask you to place in
the front of your fundamental constitution
liberty, equality, fraternity ith all man
kind!" The Cortes started to their feet. The pre
sident sprang from his chair and caught the
speaker in embrace. Men of all parties
crowded around, clasping him in their arms,
weeping, and blessing Lim. For onoe, the
ties of faction were broken; and in that sub
lime moment, when all hearts beat as one,
Castelar struck persecution its deathblow.
JJecplj cLasric&d, Jl&ntcfwU, tm- noon a ha
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGKAPH PHILADELPHIA, TRIPLE SHEET SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1870.
eouui be Heard, tried to reply, and, in the
opinion of the ultramontane correspondent
of the New York Herald, completely annihi-
mieu iaBieur. now ne really succeeded the
6equel shows. About five days after this
great event, Garibaldi, writing from Osprera
to bis friend Garrido in Madrid, placed next
to the names of Espartero, nearly eighty,
and Orense, nearly Bixty, the name of this
man of scarcely forty, among those from
whom a dictator or king should be chosen
en Los or which he did not extend to any who
foimfd the existing Government.
In ppteches about this time, Castelar took
giound for the abolition of slavery in the
colonies. He also stated that, while the
whole Spanish empire was despotically gov
erned, the colonies fared as woll as the
motLer country, and that the colonial code
w as an honor to Spain; but that, since home
affairs bad began to liberalize, the oolonies
had suffered. He called attention to the
way Ei)glnd treated Canada after the in
surrection of 1837, and declared that "liberty
alone lulls discontent; we must treat Cuba
like Canada!" He also urcod seDsration of
Church and State, as the former had nothing
to do with the latter, but when connected
with it was an organized mischief and danger.
On May 4, the religious clause came up for
final action. The first part, declaring that
the Catholio religion is that of the nation,
which latter will support the Church, was
adopted by one hundred and seveuty-six
votes to seventy-six. Manterola again assailed
the second part, assuring toleration, and
asteiar again replied tins timo m a speech
which was a model of adroitness.
A few days before, Suner, an atheistic mem
ber, in opposing the first part, objected to all
religion, and undertook to prove its injurious
effects from history. This was too much for
the new tolerationists, and the President
(Ilivero, Mayor of Madrid) called him to
order, saying that he was opening up an end
less and time-wasting discussion. This out
rage on free speech was resented by the
whole republican party, who left the chamber
with Suner.
Castelar began by saying that he should
not, like Suner, discuss theology, but should
simply speak of the way in which the State
should regard religion. This was loudly ap
plauded. He gracefully recognized the fact
that administration naturally falls into the
bands of the conservative party, saving that
he only wished fo arrange precautions under
which they might well administer. As he
rose, Manterola tried to disconcert him, as
Pitt did Erskine, by opening a book and pay
ing no attention. He found his match, how
ever; for Castelar drew out a laugh by repeat
ing a remark, and addressing it to him; and,
a moment later, he put a question thus: "I
atk Senor Manterola my friend Senor Man
terola, who listens to me with so much at
tention!" Amid shouts of laughter, the Canon of
Vittoria shut bis book in any thing but a vic
torious way. His trick plogued the inventor;
his petard hoisted himself. The victor went
on to say that he belonged to the world of
philosephy and reason, not to the world of
theology and faith. If, however, he should
enter the latter, he would not embrace that
Protestant religion which was the eternal foe
of his country, his rase, his history; he would
embrace that which belonged to all these,
which joined beauty, antiquity, and enthu
siasm, which was symbolized by the marble
cross that stretches its holy arms over the
spot most sacred of all the earth to him the
tomb of his mother! Tremendous cheers fol
lowed this. He pointed the prosoriptiouists to
the sayings of Jesus, full of toleration, tri
umphantly adding: "Gentlemen, you are at
war with the Head of your Church!" He
closed by saying that, if he were a priest, he
would pray God to "bless these legislators,
who are enacting on the earth Thy justice
and Thy grace." He sat down amid uncon
trollable applause, and the clause passed by
one hundred and sixty-three to forty. It is
noteworthy that the minority which opposed
toleration was but about half that which op
posed union of Church and State.
Mey 19, he spoke powerfully again in favor
of a republic, but promised to peacefully
abido the decision of the Cortes. At the
same time, he demanded that the question
bbonld be submitted to a vote of the people.
When, in September, the ignorant com
munistic masses of the republican party,
lushed to fury by financial mismanagement
and demagogues rant, threatened to rebel,
Custelar advised against it. When the Gov
ernment began disarming them, and they
rose, and Prim moved in the Cortes to sus
pend the Constitutional guarantees of liberty
and declare martial law, the republican mem
bers protested, and left the hall. Prim, much
excited, begged them to return, and warn
ingly told them they might repent of their
refusal. Castelar answered: "We may do
so from patriotism never from fear!" He,
with his wiser colleagues, disapproved the in
surrection as useless and dangerous, but
would not seem to desert his friends. While
many of his fellow-deputies joined the insur
gents or lied the country, he remained in
Madrid, and when all was quiet, resumed his
f-, tat and work in the Cortes.
THE MECHANISM OF A DUE AM.
A (iEKMAN DREAMS OCT AN AUTOMATIC! WONDER
A tTIUOCH rilODUCTION BINWLAll STOlty
OF THE AUTHOR Or THE WORK.
J-'rum the Troy Timet, Xov. 5.
A few days since we told a singular story
detailing the arrest of two burglars through
the instrumentality of a dream. We have
now to record a more singular tale how a
man for fourteen years has been steadily
working with one object in view the perfec
tion of a most wonderful piece of mechanism
having in the first instanoe received the
impression of the idea from a dream, which
wrought such an influence upon his mind
that during all these intervening years he has
followed it with an infatuation that could not
be resisted, and which was sometimes so great
that his daily avocation was neglected, and
even Lis family were left without the
necessaries of life. For the past six
months he has labored almost con
stantly at his pet machine, and though
often disappointed in the realization of this
grtmd idea, often casting the work of months
aside as some obstacle intervened to necessi
tate a change of plans, be has never been
discouraged or disheartened. To the jeers
of friends and the pleadings of bis family he
would always respond, "My dream, my
dream J" It was to bim the ignii fatuut
which shone across the marshes and moors
of disappointment, and proved to him the
means by which one of the most curious and
wondeiful contrivances ever perfected has
been produced. The name of this man is
Joseph Bergmann, and he lives in a little
wot den house on Farm street, Ida Hill. Yes
terday, having previously heard of Berg
monn's invention or contrivance, we took a
walk up to the locality with two other gentle
men, and after being nearly mired in mud in
our efforts to reach the house, we at last found
it, and were kindly received by the proprie
tor. He ushered us into a roam about eight
feet aquaxe, ia w'hich fctood Lu wuudw ik
result of days and nights of toil occupying
guouiy portion oi tue apartment. There
was a little work-bench near the window filled
with diminutive tools without number, with
wmcn me curious thing had been fashioned
and shaped, and cut and carved. But before
we describe, even most imperfectly, the ma
chine we had come to aee, let us say some
thing of its author. Bergmann is a German,
about fifty years of age, and speaks English
most imperfectly. He is a little diminutive
man, with a pale, sallow countenance, and a
look which apoaks of care and thought, if not
positive suffering. He is evidently very
poor the house is almost bare of "fur
nitureand in ppeaking of the dream
and the work which had so infatuated
him, he said it would have been better
for him if he had never experienced
the one nor undertaken the other. He is a
cabinet nipker by trade, and the Bkill of an
almost marvellous handiwork as well as the
stamp of remarkable inventive genius is to
be seen in the construction of the machiue.
Bergmann informed us that fourteen years
ago he dreamt one night of a machine such
as Ptood before us. At first he thought little
of it. Then it began to ooeupy his mind to
the exclusion of other subjects, and after a
time be commenced the work, at first at odd
spells, and then quite continuously for days.
Some inexplicable power was urging him on
every time he thought of giving it up. When
the spells of infatuation came upon him,
everything had to be abandoned. His ordi
nary work had to be laid aside, even though
there was no bread upon the cupboard shelf
and many a night the poor artisan went
hungry te bed. But after years of anxious
toil, the dream is verified the work is com
plete. THE WONDER.
We will now attempt to describe the ma
chine. It is so complicated and does suoh
wonderful things that a perfect description
would fill columns. We hardly know what to
call it, even. It beats all the automatons in
the world. The reador must imagine a beau
tiful miniature structure set upon a huge
mass of rocks, with road-beds winding up
the sides of the rocks, and streams of run
ning water coursing down precipitous bluffs.
This miniature house represents the resi
dence of a wealthy old miller, with his grist
mill, saw-mill, oil-mill, etc, adjoining.
iiiero me buuju imny ugures to us seen in
the foreground and about the buildings
and mills. There is also a little fountain
in the foreground, with tho water play
ing, and a lake with a boat aud oars
man. All these mills and figures and
playing waters are set iu motion by moan3
of a combination of machinery similar to the
w orks of a clock, and when these are wound
up and set running every figure takes up its
automatic movement. The old miller sits in
an elegant apartment, reading a newspaper.
His eyes follow the column downward. His
head inclines with a corresponding motion.
The column is finished and the sheet is
turned over and the eyes are attracted to
another portion of the paper. Every move
ment is wonderfully life-like. The miller's
wife sits in another apartment industriously
spinning. The domestics are going about
performing their'daily toil. The saw-mill is
a fae simile of such an institution. The log
is in its place and Blides along to meet the
teeth of the saw, which is working up aud
down cutting it in two. The attendants are
all busy in their several duties. The grist-mill
is also going. One man is tending aud feed
ing the hopper. Every now and then he goes'
back and forth with a tray upon his shoul
ders, the contents of which he pours into the
mouth of the hopper. The great water wheel
is moviDg steadily under the pressure of the
water from above, and the elevator keeps up
its show of relieving a caual-boat of its load
of grain. Teams loaded with sacks are seen
gtiEg to and from the mills. A man is
perched upon the gable of the miller's home,
adjusting a little bird-cage to the eaves, and
doing his work most perfectly. The oil-mill
is also at work, and the figures are all busy
about it performing their several missions.
The boatman upon the lake is rowing back
wards and forwards, apparently having a good
time all by himself. Thus the entire opera
tions of an immense establishment are oarried
on with as much definitene&a and aim as in
real life, every figure doing its work with the
utmost exactness the whole forming the
most wonderful combination of machinery we
ever saw, or expect to see. Mr. Bergmann
proposes to exhibit the curiosity next week.
We believe the old man has a fortune in store
for him af tr his years of vexation and trial.
All who see it will be edified and instructed,
and gain from it enlarged ideas of the eapa
bilitits of the human brain even when
worked upon and influenced, as in this
case,
by mat
dream.

AN EXCITING SCENE.
THE I HA1R1E AFIRE AROUND SIOUX FALLS CITY
BUFFALO FLEE BEFORE THE DEVOURING ELE
MENT -THEY ARE DRIVEN BY THE FIRE INTO
TUE MIDST OF THE SETTLEMENTS.
From th Siuut (Sty JvumaU
From a gentleman just arrived from Sioux
Falls City we learn the following particulars
of an exciting affair which occurred at that
place a few nights since:
TLe prairie had been binning in the neigh
borhood all the afternoon, and towards eve
ning the country on the Dakotah side of the
river was seen to be ablaze and the winds
from the westward wafted a dense cloud of
smoke and ashes towards the city. As
night drew on the lurid flames illu
minated the streets, casting a crimson
light upon the windows of the buildings, and
causing a weiid expression to overspread
the countenances of the citizens who were
corigregatedupon the street corners watching
the leaping flames as they writhed and
twitted like souls in purgatory, on the oppo
site side of the river. All was still and no
sound was to be heard save the occasional
crackling of the tall bunch grass as it strug
gled and fought with the fiery serpents that
attacked its stems. The citizens gazed with
awe upon the grandest of Western sights, and
though gathered together in little knots and
groups, near each othenthe sublimity and
grandeur of the immense panorama over
powered all ppeech, and all stood silent and
motionless, watching the approaching fires.
Hark! what means the rumbling sounds
that, borne upon the night winds, break with
such dismay upon the ears of the affrighted
spectators ? Men look into each other's faces,
and though their lips move not their eyes
strive to seek the cause of these strange
noires. Uneasily they gaze along the river
banks. The river is not rising; so it is not
thence the sounds proceed. Ne hurricane is
felt; so the winds can furnish no solution to
the mystery. What can it be? Soon the
noise of rolling thunder is mingled with other
sounds, appearing like the click of bridle
bits or sheaths f swords, and, anon, the
snorting, puffing breath of animals can also
be clearly be heard. Can it be that the
savages have fired the country, and with this
fbulul klly ro couuing to Wroy tin 6.U-
ments? The knots and groups of citizens
began to move uneasily towards their homes,
as if feeling that their strong arms would
soon be needed to wield the knife and rifle
for the protection of their thresholds.
Now strange, exciting cries are heard from
these who have remained the last upon the
streets, and the cry of "Buffalo! the buffalo
are crossing the river!" was echoed by many
mouths.
Men hurried out of their houses, women
appeared in the doorways and windows, their
night garments giving them the ghostly ap
pearance of the inhabitants of the sepulchre.
Itifle barrels gleamed and shone with a crim
son lustre in the light of the fires which
were now laving their serpent tongues in the
waters of the river edge.
Heavens! what was that? a huge body
rushes past the frightened women and like a
demon incarnate dashes np the street. Then
another, and still another, then the place re
sounds with clicking hoofs, and a sea of
moving hair and glistening horns fills the
streets and sidewalks. Crash! orash! crash!
The rifles resound upon the streets. Crash !
crash! and heavy bodies sink to rise no more.
A moment of horror and bewilderment, and
then the town is quiet the streets empty,
and the thunder of receding hoofs comes
almost inaudibly to the ears of the citizens
who now cautiously sally forth. In the streets
and gutters dark, shaggy masses are dimly to
be Been by the light of the now dying fires.
They struggle and vainly strive to rise to their
feet, but Boon sink back and beat their huge
heads against the hard roadway, and as the
crimson life stream pours from mouth and
nostril, roll their eyes in the death agony.
By the morning light nought is to be seen
but the gory pools which yet lay like minia
ture lakes upon the streets.
