The following report of the horrible mas sacre in New Orleans, is taken from the correspondence of an eye witness to the Cincinnati Gazette : "Meantime, that which happend inside the Mechanics' Institute, which had thus become the nucleus of the opening riot— the only available point of refuge for the negroes, and the central object of attack to citizens and rebel soldiers in the uniform otpolicemen, may be more definitely stated. Within a few moments after the first shot, balls begau to strike the building : and un der the impulse of the excitement, the members of the Convention all sprang to their feet. On the appeal, however, of some one cooler than the they resumed their seats, determined to wait with dignity the expected attack. Presently a rush was heard at the door below, and then the hasty tramping of many feet on the stairways. Every one supposed this to be a body of the police, though it is now known to have been a party of negroes running from the heavy fire suddenly poured down the streets front the citizens and policemen at the cor ner of Canal. Momentarily therefore ex pecting a rush of policemen into the Hall to arrest the members, the Convention delib erated what to do. After a few words, the proposition of Mr. Alfred Shaw. Ex-Sheriff of New Orleans, and a gentlemen of char acter, prevailed. He was, therefore, depu ted to inform the police that inside the Hall no resistance would be made to any legal officers, claiming the right to make arrests. With this message he passed out from the door which he was not destined soon to enter again. With a white handkerchief in his hand he crossed the outride passage and started down one of the winding staircases. By this time a strong body of police had driven the negroes from the front of the Institute by a sudden dash, and a dozen o( them gaining the building, were rushing up the stairs, when they met Mr. Shaw coming down. "Kill him," "There's Shaw, thescoundrel shoot hint down," "Let me at him," were the first exohmations, and those below sought t-< crcwd up till they could see to shoot at him. Outers said, "No he has a white handkerchief; take him to the station house " Through the hubbub and scuffle Shaw succeeded in making them understand his message. "That's right, let them sur render peaceably," said some. Kill that d d scoundrel Shaw,," exclaimed others. Meantime two policemen, seizing bim firm ly, and another forcing his way through the crowd and keeping assailants off, they suc ceeded in, reaching the pavement. Here a mingled mob of citizens, i>olicemen and negroes —the latter mostly in the side alleys or in door yards—were exchanging shots. A rush was made for Shaw, the moment he appeared in the custody of the policemen, and the fire was concentrated upon him. Presently a hall struck him in the shoulder, and there was every indication that in a moment or two longer he would certainly te killed, when the policemen dodging around a corner, hustled nim off to the jail, when, without charge or commit ment, wounded and exhausted, he was thrown into a cell. Tbe firing continued about the Mechan ics' Institute, spread toward the river along Canal and Common streets, and even broke out in the square back of the Institute, along Carondelet. The fighting negroes did not spread in this wajk, but the mob follow ed every prisoner whom the policemen led off, aud attacked, on sight, every negro found in the vicinity. The body servant of Humphrey Marshall was thus pursued and fired at along Carondelet, in his master's sight. A moment Inter another unarmed negro, apparently belonging to one of the adjaccut offices, seeming to think the street no place for him, began to run. In an in stant two policemen and a score of citizens were after him, the policemen firing as they rau. Five shots were fired, and the negro fell pierced with three. But this was only the by-play, and scenes like this were occurring in a dozen different places. The Mechanics' Institute was still the central point. The police and citizens had possession of the lower story of the staircases. The Sergeant-at-Arms had bar ricaded the doors to the chamber of the Convention when Shaw went out. The po lice charge that the negroes in the lobby of the chamber began firing from the windows upon the members of their force in the street. It is certain that Buy were tiring at the windows of the Convention, and that the negroes ID the alleys and door yards were firing at them, and that brickbats were also freely flying. A considerable number A LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWSPAPER, DEVOTED TO POLITICS, EDUCATION, LITERATURE AND MORALS. ot citizens had joined the police force and about the Institute ; and great crowds, gath ered at the corners of Canal and Common, and along the route to the City Hall, were firing at or rushing upon the few prisoners brought along. Finally a crowd of policemen and citizens made a rush at the doors of the Convention chamber and broke them down. The exact order of what immediately followed no man can tell. It is only certain that as they en tered the attacking party delivered a volley into the huddled mass of members and spec tators, which killed and wounded several, and received one, severely wounding some of the policemen and killing same of the citi zens. Each side charged that the other fired first, and whether from testimony of participants or from the sound of the vol leys, it seems impossible to reach any other conclusion that they were nearly or quite simultaneous. There followed a series of short and bloody individual conflicts. Negroes were shot down, members of the Convention wouuded and arrested, and the scenes of violence in the streets intensified tenfold as persons began to emerge from the building. Standing all this moment in tbe highest verandah of Victor's restaurant, looking directly down the street to the Institute, , was a late Major General of the United States service. He saw iour policemen bear out the seemingly lifeless body of Dr. Dos tie, an earnest, sincere, perhaps fanatical member of the Convention, a prominent Free Mason, and a gentleman against whose private character no charge was ever made. His head hung down till it almost dragged on the pavement; blood was streaming from his wounds and marking the path by which he was borne. Around this inanimate body the crowd rushed and blasphemed, or laugh ed and cheered. At last a cart was reached, and the body was thrown in, when a more determined rush than any previous one was j made, and the rioters broke through. Be- j fore the cart could be started, several blows ! had been rained upon the bleeding body, and the General felt sure ihat as one man's i hand descended he caught the gleam of a i knife. The iiew.s flew among the rioter that l)r. Dostie was killed, and it was everywhere re ceived, many squares oft, even where people had scarcely became inflamed with the fever of the massacje, with expressions of satis faction and positive delight. Meanwhile, returning from Canal street up Carondelet, 1 had just secured place on the verandah of a friend's room, near the corner of Common, when great cheers came up from the Institute, and a dense mob crowded along Common street toward the St. Charles Hotel. As they approached we could make out four policemen with cocked revolvers, and in their midst, with hat knocked off, with coat nearly torn from his shoulders, with blood clotted over his head and about his neck, with citizens rush ing at him, striking at him, shouting, ' kill him," partly limping and partly jerked along by the infuriated policemen, came Mi chael Hahn, ex member of the United States House of Representatives, ex-Gov ernor of Louisiana, and United States Sen ator from the Legislature of Louisiana— the man to whom Abraham Lincoln confi dentially wrote that "negro suffrage might yet in some hour of peril, help keep the jewel of Liberty in the family of Freedom ! In ten minutes he was lying bleeding and feverish, in a cell of the city jail! "He was more scared than hurt, ' is the cool com ment of the "leading journ&l" this morn ing. A little later came the only stroke of the comic in all this sad tragedy. The boaster of the Convention, the hero who would do and dare and die for his new horn love for negro suffrage, had not yet been found. Arrayed in si otless white he had been seen to enter the Chamber before the opening of the Convention, but. since the firing began, no eye of negro had been cheered, no heart of Convention member nerved, no soul of policeman inflamed by the radiant sight of R. King Cutler. The last member had been driven out to the mob, and the last negro stabbed ; the Chamber was occupied only by the police, the other rioters and the dead ; but still the hero was missing. At last a bright thought strut 1 a policeman. He explored the chimney. Its throat was narrow, and King Cutler's body was large, and so. instead of being quite swallowed up, there he stuck ! In a moment a nonde script figure came up the street, between fiolicemen and rioters, all so amused that or the moment, they lost their appetite for murder. Republican or not. King Cutler was black. His white hat, jammed down over his blackened nose and ears, like a half painted ship, was already colored, fore and aft. His white coat hung down all black behind. His sparkling shirt front presented a fitting stripe to correspond. '1 he waist band of his voluminous pantaloons—but alas! that was where he struck ; and so must I. • The Convention had been thoroughly bro ken up an hour ago—if that were the ob ject or Mr. John T. Monroe and his rebel soldier policemen. The negro procession had been scattered, its leaders killed, and dozens of innocent negroes struck by the same hopeless fate, if that were their object. But still the authorities and the citizens con tinued the riot. An innocent negro, carrying a roll of cot ton samples under his arm, quietly passed the St. Charles Hotel, hour hackmen pounced upon him, began beating the non resistant, and collected a crowd. A police man rushed up, and without a word of in quiry discharged every barrel of his revolv er at the prostrate negro, who kept crying, "Arrest uic, I've done nothing ; arrest me. but for God's sake don't kill me in cold blood " To the amazement of all, every shot tnissed him. "But,' exclaimed a repu table citizen —let the expression be set down forever to his honor with those who know him —"if I'd had a pistol, I'd have killed the miscreant policeman. Carts were constantly passing, iaden with the bodies of murdered negroes. In one I counted six ; many had two and three. All were greeted with laughter; occasionally one evoked a cheer. Now and then a car riage passed with some wounded white man. and not unfrequently the crowds would make a rush upon him to see if he were one of the obnoxious radicals. Meantime, the fighting negroes retreating below Canal street, into the French quar ter of the city, had once or twice reorganized and made charges ou the police in the-hope of rescuing some of their friends or avenging their death. In the course of the afternoon between twenty and thirty policemen were thus wounded. The number on the other side can only be given by conjecture. Wherever a negro, either entirely peaceable or by accident cut off from his eomnylcs, was found, he was pursued, and if possible shot. One fell thus near the noted millinery shop of Madame Sophia, a lew doors below Ble loek's bookstore. A gentleman —so far as clothes go, and general demeanor—stepped out .from the sidewalk, and devoted a minute or two to vigorously kicking the dead body. A bystander made some expression of hor- BEDFORD. Pa.. FRIDAY. AUGUST 17, 1866. ror and disgust, when a policeman turned sharp on him with, "Are you one of them, say? ' He protested that he was not, "He lies, exclaimed another, Yankee soldier'" The luckless person protested that he was not; the policeman fiercely ques tioned him,and at last allowed him to escape on the express ground that he "guessed lie wasn't a rederal soldier after all." This occurred in sight and hearing of at least cm late General of our army, who, stood on an adjacent upper verandah. It was nearly or quite four o'clock. There were artillery, cavalry and black and white infantry within an hour's call. There was a General of tke Unitee States Volun teers in command, and, during the unex pectedly prolonged absence of Sheridan in Texas, he was in supreme command. But he was not merely l General of volunteers. He was one of th< highest officers in the Freedmen'a Bureau. His uniform made it his duty to maintain order; but his special position made it his special duty to see that the freedmen under his direct personal charge were not causelessly butchered by paroled rebel soldiers. Yet he did nothing! Gne late Major General of our volunteers sought in vain to gain admission to his closely guarded house. Two others persis ted till they got in and demanded the cause of his amazing inaction. He didn't know that there was anything requiring his inter vention! Not to know that was to be an idiot. Not to act upon it was to be an eunuch. Finally, as it should seem, he was bullied into acting. Passing down Carondelet with a friend, as late, I should judge, as between four aud five, we came out into Canal, just as the mob was shooting down a helpless, solitary negro, who was vainly attempting to dash across the street to a place of safety. Turning from the devlish sight we saw to ward the river, beyond Canal street, the fluttering of a single guidon. And in a mo ment Mower, a soldierly General was there, with a hastily gathered little staff. He rode across by the Clay statue, but that moment the mob shot down another negro. I nan instant a section of artillery—regulars, I should think —dashed up and as the pieces were unlimbered and wheeled upon the mob a panting negro saved his life by darting to the guns. My companion and myself ' 'moved on. ' In less than a square a regiment iu blue— thank God for the color at last!—came up Canal -treet on the double quick, and o!> liquing from side to side, left no rioters be hind the artillery. There were a few straggling shots through the evening, but that was the end of the riot. A Union ex-Major general walked down an hour later, to demand of Mayor Monroe, in the name of common decency and hu manity, the release from the stifling jail where these wounded men still lay, of Gov ernor Hahn. Sheriff Shaw, Dr. Dostie, A. P. Field, and the rest. He was :net by the smiling Mayor with the inouiry if the "thing hadn't been pretty well done?" While he was getting nis question fitly answered, in walked Cavalry Kautz. "Is this Mr. Monroe?" "Yes, sir." "I am directed, sir, to relieve you of any duties as mayor of this city, aud assume command as military governor of New Or leans! Yourself and other officials will await and obey my orders." In a moment he received his first order. It was to accompany an aid, and see to it that the members of the Convention and other innocent citizens should be released instantly. GES. LOGAM'S VIEWS. Geu. John A. Logan made a spirited speech at the * 'soldiers Reunion," held at Salem, 111., on the 4th of July. Speaking of the secedea States, he said.— "I do not see why the people should be in any hurry to require them to b represen ted. They declined to be represented for four years; but the very momept they laid down their arms, they say, "Why we waut members in congress; we want part o f the foreign missions; we want the officers of the law to be distributed among us; we want our rights., They talk of rights! Well, so might ahorse thief, at the very time he is being tried get up before the judge, after the proof has been given showing that he had stolen the horse, and say,' Judge I want my rights!, The judge would say, My dear friend, you will get them in a few minutes. I think that the jury will send you to the penitentiary for twenty years.' "Ob, they want their rights,—rights that they forfeited, rights that they are not entitled to rights that they denied to them selves by their own act of treason. They tried to destroy the Government, and denied its authority by their acts, and thus lost all the rights that they had in this land. And now instead of marching up with a pardon in one pocket and a certificate of election in the other, demanding what they call their rights, what ought they to do? They ought to be on their Knees, imploring this great and glorious Government to be magnani mous, and offer them that clemency which our gallant honest, and faithful President, Abraham Lincoln, offered to thcrn so often and which they so often refused. ** * I do not want to be their executioner; but I do want to do a few things as one of the American people, as one of the loyal citizens of this land, as a man who has as much right as anybody else, and no more to claim the exercise of certain rights and privileges in this country- that loyal men are entitled to. 1 want to oc recognized in this land as a soldier of the Republic of the United States and not a disgraced man. I want to lie rec ognized at the same time as a man who has done more for his country than a traitor. I want it to be so in this land that Gen. Sherman may stand here to day before the American people in a prouder light, higher socially, morally, politically, and every way than docs Joe Johnston, the man that fought against him in the armies of treason. "That is what 1 want to see. I want to see treason made odious, and loyalty made respectable. 11 is talk about J off. Davis was plain enough j as will be seen from the following speci- j men: — "Now that Davis, the head of the Rebell- I ion, is in prison at Fortress Monroe for his ; offences against this Government, they be- j gin to speak of Lis ease. They grow sym pathetic in reference to his punishment. ! They must examine him every week io see whether his health is improving or declining They must have a continual report: and, if he is a little declining, they givo him the right to go where he pleases in and around the fortifications. "If they keep hiui pretty close for a day or two, a few gentlemen go there to see whether or not the country is ripe for bailing him out. When they put a finder on the pulse of the nation, the pulse begins to beat up to fever heat. If they attempt to bail him out, there wilt be such a hotel through the laud that these men will tremble in their boots.' 1 THE BERVICEB AND THE PLEA OP THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. W hat, then, are the services of the Dem ocratic party for which it should be again intrusted with the direction of the govern ment? The history of thirt}' years answers. Its service consists in having strengthened, by every appeal to passion, ignorance, ami cowardice, the only aristocratic class in the United States, and an aristocracy founded upon the degradation of labor. Its sen'ice consists in a systematic debaucbeiy of the national conscience; in a fierce denial of the fundamental principle of the Republic—the equality of rights ; in an attempt, under the forms of law, and by means of blood and terror, to fasten slavery upon Kansas; and when the people, at last aroused to the fear ful truth, constitutionally east that party from power, its crowning service Consists in rushing to arms, and seeking, by the mo-t desperate and prolonged struggle, to over throw tbe government. The Democratic party, whose conspiracy against the equality of rights has been foiled both in the field and at the polls, now turns to the American people, who have been its spectators arid victims, and informs them that it is the only safe and patriotic and conservative and con ciliatory and Unicn-loving party in the land. These being its services, what is its plea? The Democratic plea is that the Union party intends to consolidate the government, and its argumeut is two fold; first that the na tional authority is now more evident than ever before; and, second, that the dominant party aims to destroy State rights. As to the first argument, it is enough to say that the nation, having been forced into a tre mendous war by the party of its accusers, has established a system of internal taxation to pay the cost, and that the system is nec essarily complicated and requires a multitude of agents. For the second argument, the simple truth is that the loyal people of the United States in Congress prefer to delay ] the reception of representatives from the, late rebellious seetion until they are persua ded that they can be safely admitted; and have proposed an amendment to the Con stitution providing tbat the late rebels shall not have gained political power by rebellion. And while these arc its acts, the Union par-, ty is inspired by the most earnest desire to secure equal rights before the law, and to j found the Union upon the only sure basis of i justice. Such are the offences for which the Dem ocratic party urges that the Union party should be overthrown. It desires that citi zens who rebel shall gain no political advan tage by rebellion, and it wishes to defend the equal rights of all citizens of the United States. For this it is arraigned by the op ponents of the war and the traducers of Abraham Lincoln ; and it is to such allies that William Henrv Seward gives his hand. —G. W. Cvrbs. MATRIMONIAL, COMPLICATIONS. Queen Victoria's eldest son —the Prince of Wales —is married to a daughter of the King of Denmark, who has been deprived of a large portion of his territories by the King of Prussia, father of the husband of the Queen's eldest daughter, and this muti lation of Denmark was effected nominally in the interest of the Duke of Augustenburg, whose youngest brother Prince Christian, has been married to the Queen's third daughter, the Princess Helena. 2. The Queen's first cousin, the King of Hanover, has been deprived of his kingdom by the same of King of Prussia, in whose army the Queen's son-in-law. the Prince of Prussia, is a commanding officer. 3. Prince Alexander, of Hesse, who commands the Federal army raised to op ito.se the King of Prussia, is brother to Yince Louis, the husband of Princess Alice the Queen's second daughter. 4. The Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotba, Prince Albert's brother, and brother-in-law to the Qeen, holds command in the King of Prussia's amy now invading Hanover, which kingdom, by the way, until the ac cession of her Majesty, formed part of the territories of the kings of England. And lastly, Prince Teck, recently married to the Queen's first cousin, the Princess Mary of Caiubrige, held a commission in the army of the Emperor of Austria. Effects of the European War. speculating upon this, the "Journal of Commerce" says: "If we accept the verdict of European critics, the downfall of the Austrian empire has virtually been accomplished. The pres tige of the ancient house of Hapsburg, as representing a great military power, is done away-. The German Confederation is de stroyed. Simultaneously, the Kingdom of Italy is coining forward to enter the first rank among the governments of Europe. Prussia, in like manner, wheels into line, a great Protestant power, second to no other. All this may yet be changed, but it is the summing up of the leading journals upon the case in its present aspect. These events •re full of significance. Victor Emanuel still rests under the ban of papal excommu nication ; and yet he is about to hold in his hand the key of Rome. Plus IX. cannot contemplate this truth with any degree of satisfaction, and the calamity which has be fallen Austria, always the faithful son of the Church, is no less afflictive to the Iloly Fa ther. It was Austria that upheld the con cordat with steadfast, fidelity. Astria has •ontributed liberally in response to every call of the papal treasury. What may he the consequences of suddenly striking away this substantial support, and of advancing— in a manner so marvelous and so sudden — Victor Emanuel and his ally to the pinnacle of political power, time alone can reveal. Had King William and his influential minis ter, Bismark, manifested a disposition less arbitrary—less hostile to constitutional gov ernment —there would be more reason to hope that the interests of civil and religious liberty would he observed by the marvelous changes. At present we can only wait for, without daring to predict, the result. FAST HOHSKS AND WOMKN ATSAUATOUA —The moial atmosphere of Saratoga is bad ly tainted this season, if the accounts of newspaper gossip writers are to be relied upon. Saratoga is always remarkable for its fast horses and handsome women, but this year it seems to outshine itself with a pretty large spice of immorality thrown in. There has been a partial clearing out of the fast men and females who joined the crowd gathered together bv the races, and the prospect for a more desirable class of visit ors is not thereby improved. Queer stories arc afloat concerning sonic of the women who are figuring in the annual saturnalia, but queer as they are, they are true. One of them is the driver of a carriage and hors es whieh cost $2,200. Another fair but frail croature purchased s3,oo<> worth of jewelry at Tiffany s, and paid cash down lor it in gold. She is a great beauty, and it may be no wonder, therefore, that at least, two gray haired Wall street brokers are among her most obedient servants. VOLUME 39: NO 32. A Most Excellent Parallel. I he \\ orcester Spy, in a recent editorial, alter speaking of 'the mischievous temper of the Executive," goes on to sav.— " But suppose that Washington, instead of being the _ peerless patriot that he was. had turned his back upon his fellow patriots before he had been three months in his seat; that he had sought his counsellors among those who had speculated in the liberties, and grown rich upon the blood of his coun try men j that, not content with surrounding himself with the torics and cowboys of the Revolution, he had offered the additional ailront to the country of making them the favorite objects of this bounty; that, in the distribution of his patronage, he had passed by the brave men who followed him in his dreary winter march to the Delaware, or fought with him on the fateful or glorious fields of that long war, iu order to reward those who deserted the colonies in the night of their bitter need; if Washington had been such a traitor, James Madison would have said, l.et my hand be palsied, and my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, before I encourage this infamous thing. . "Vet here is an Executive, to whom the interests and the liberties of twenty millions of people were too generously entrusted, using the power which they gave him, not only to humiliate them, but to raise up a power in the Government infinitely worse than the toryism of the revolutionary period and striving by intimidation and the imposi tion of strange and odious tests to make every man subsisting upon hisfavor subser vient to his will. If any prophet could have revealed to that first Congress the events trauspiring under the patient eyes of this generation, its record on the question would never have been made. And even as it stands, it is to be regarded only as the opinion of men wise according to their light liable to be reversed like all fallible opinions ; upon just occasion, and not as an iron rule j for all coming time." MORIS REVOLUTIONARY SOCIETIES.— The New York Herald announces the organization in that city of two more rev olutionary societies. One of them, "The Canadian Independence Association," though not at present publicly announced, is known to be composed of many of the most intelligent and influential Canadian residents in New York. They are desirous of seeing Canada completely severed from the British empire as they consider her be ing subject to such u bellicose power has en tailed on her considerable expense and anxiety without a possibility of receiving an equivalent, but on the contrary, theapalling prospect of being made the battle ground for Eugland and the United States to settle their little difficulties about the Trent and Alabama affairs, and also to be subjected to Fenian raids on account of her connection with that Government The members seem to think that the psuedo "glorious privilege" of being part of the empire whose flag has "braved a thousand years the battle and the breeze,, as not being eminently conducive to Canada s fame, but decidely detrimental to her fortune. There is also a rumor that a Cuban association is on the tapis for the purpose of advocating and promoting Cuban independence. It is to be supported and fostered by citizens ot the South American republics resident in New York, The members complain that the country is prey ed upon by Spanish officials, and that their conservative ideas are obstacles in the way of the interests and progress in civilization of the country. The Canadian association is modelled after an organization of a similar nature formed in Manchester England, du ring the recent war. and called the "South ern Independence Association. " THE RELIGIOUS ELEMENT IN THE GERMAN WAR. —The Paris Monde, the Catholic organ lias the following:—"Prussia becomes a great power.—ln the German struggle there exists a religious element which it is impor tant to disenage.—Prussia represented the the Protestant element and around her were grouped all the interests appertaining to that faith; whilst on the contrary, all Catho lic sympathies attached themselves to Aus tria. - By the Treaty of Westphalia, Protes tantism took right of citizenship in Germany and established itself there on a footing of equality with Catholicism. The victory of Prussia overthrows this equilibrium; the Catholic influence exercised by Austria in Italy and Germany is henceforth destroyed and it cannot be restored without a long series of contests. KIDNAPPING NEGROES. —We arc now as sured from the Navy Department that this odious and infamous traffic not only did exist, but has been persisted in, in face of the measure passed to prevent it. The United States sloop "Augustine" lias overhauled and captured in Pensacola Bay, a slaver, having on board one hundred and fifty freed men, secured at Mobile and bound for Cuba. It has been customary, we arc told, to enlist colored laborers about Mobile, run them up the railroad to Greenville, Ala., switch on the Pensacola road, and run down to a plan tation in Florida, near the Kscalabia river, place the negroes upon flatboats, float down to tide water, ship them on board sloops, ■and. passing by Pensacola gain the sea. and land their human freight in slavery. Par ties in New Orleans, Mobile and New York are implicated in the affair.— Nete York Tribune. JteSrA very curious event occurred in Huncary during a bear bunt. A. vory BT --age she "hear had just been mortally wound ed, when all at once a young girl, about twelve years of age, rushcu out ot the thicket and threw herself upon the expiring beast, giving utterance to the most lamenta ble cries. After a good deal of difficulty this young savage was captured, bv means of chords and nets. It has been discovered that a peasant woman, some twelve years ago, lost her child, a little girl, on the con fines of the forest, and has never since been able to obtain any tidings of her. Acer tain Countess Eldoeli has taken the little girl under her care, and is obliged to feed her with roots,honey and raw meat—the usual food of bears. It will be most inter esting to discover, when the lias received an education and her mental facul ties begin to levelop themselves, if she will remember her former state, and be able to give au account of her life in the forest. lejS"Sydney E Morse, of New York, has just patented a curious philosophical instru ment which is called a bathometer. You throw it overboard with its appendages, in the ocean, where the water is miles deep. It goes down like a shot, aid as soon as it touches bottom, it turns and comes back to the surface. You pick it up and the true depth of the water a: the point where it struck the bottom is seen on the scale of the bathometer, just as you see the degree of heat on the scale of the thermometer.
