Our grand Union victory is already hear ing its fruits in the calm resignation with which even the most belligerent of the op position accept the verdict of the people. The overwhelming Union triumph has de monstrated to the most stupid of intellects the utter hoj-elcssness of the "Lost Cause, " and the determination of the people to car ry out the work of Rceonstiuction in the true -pint of the Constitution, as construed by the light of the I federation of Independence. The news of Grant's triumphant election has been as oil upon the waters, to the trou bled sea of Southern politics, and lias caused a -udden and rapid ebb of the tide of vio lence, bloodshed and murder that has so long devastated that fair portion of our common country. Throughout the North, to Grant's prayer of " Let us have 1 caw, all the people have -aid "Amen, and a great calui has suddenly fallen upon the country, and ths whole land rejoices once more in a sense of permanent peace and security to which we have long been stran gers. These are hut first fruit*. Our vic tory il.l- not milr ttlrfml)' eecw®d to thvee, hut also the assurance of their permanence ami continued increase. The assurance that there will be 110 change in the national poli cy for four years to come enables business men to -hape their affairs accordingly. With security of person and property and liberty of speech and of the press, with free dom and a fair and equal chance for all, in the race of life, our Southern States will soon enter upon a new career. Thrown open as they have never before been to the immigration of the country. I ankee energy, intelligence and thrift, with free schools and an open bible, will soon penetrate every available nook and corner, felling their for ests, draining their swamps, developing their mineral wealth, and building factories upon every stream, until the busy hum of a varied industry, and the cheerfulness horn of well rewarded labor -hall make the whole country to blossom as the rose aud restore the desolated South to a prosperity she has never yet known. The feuds horn of civil strife will soon die out. and the terms North and South, forgetful of past hostility, like East and West, will only awaken feelings of relationship, as the homes of our friends, and a patriotic pride in the grandeur and prosperity of a common country. THE PRESIDENT ELECT. General Grant, the l'residcnt elect, ac companied by his family and several of his Staff, reached Washington on Saturday evening. The trip from Galena to Wash ington was accomplished in that quiet, un ostentatious manner which is characteristic of General Grant. Moving rapidly, seeking to withhold as much as possible all knowl edge of bis movements, and to avoid as far as possible all popular demonstrations, it was not yet quite possible for the Genera! to entirely escape the manifestations which the people desired to offer him. Before leaving Galena he bid good-bye to his fellow townsmen, thanking them and all others who have fought together in this contest, and intimating that he did not expect to visit them again for some years. At several points on the route eastward he was called out by spontaneous demonstrations of the people. At only one point did he make a speech, and it was brief as well as significant. Greeted by a Republican procession in which were many soldiers who bad "voted as they fought." he said: "Gentlemen—l see many of you in uniforms. You laid them off three years ago, and j'ou can now lay them off again. We will have peace. Good night. Evidently General Grant understands the character of the victory won, At llarrisburg General Grant and his suite took the ears of the Northern Central Railroad. At Parkton they were met by Ocoeiat V.„ Vfcrit. Washington Dncth and George Small, Esq" , who escorted them through the city, the transit being made so quickly as to avoid ail demonstrations. On arriri :g at Washington General Giant at or j proceeded to his residence. GRANT'S ELECTION give., general satis faction. Honest Democrats everywhere ex press themselves as fully satisfied. Demo cratic papers of character and standing gen erally accept the result as a desirable one, and express little or no regret at the defeat <>t Seymour aud Biair, with their revolution aij platform. The election of Grant is ac cepted by all parties the best possible 'hing that could have happened for the peace and prosperity of the countiy. A few ignorant aria implacable partizans alone raise a hue aud cry. and profess great fear of negro equality. Perhaps their personal fears are well grounded. It would not re quire a very extraordinary negro to equal or even surpass some of that class that we wot of. No wonder therefore that they should Democratic negro should supplant them'as party leaders. We are sorry for the poor fellows an , deeply sympathize with them, but cannot undertake to repair what nature has done amiss for them.

ID the election of Grant, the people have secured that for which they have fought— UNION, PEACE, and EQUAL RIOHTS FOR AU. MEN. After 6eventy-fivc years of struggles over the question whether {he Union is a league or a nation, and after fifty years of contest as to the right of all men to be free, the election of General Grant finally seals the restoration of the Union, and founds an indissoluble nationality on the basis of universal liberty and manhood suffrage. The n> xt four years may be oc cupied in part in getting the machinery of our new system into harmonious operation. But the principles on which our nation is now based admit of no further dispute. We are one indissoluble nation: all inhabi tants are, or may become, citiaens, all citi zens have equal civil rights, and all adult male citizens have equal political rights. In 1860, none of these propositions were true. In 1864, two millions of men were in the field, contending on the one side for, and on the other again.-t th. in. In 1808, tLey are settled forever by the election of Grant on the Chicago platform. Such a reformation in our Constitution when view ed in all its aspects is infinitely more im portant to the American people and to nian kiud, than our change from Colonies into independent States, or our adoption of the Federal Constitution. Both were steps to ward the birth of a great and free nation, Neither was adequate to make the nation great or free. Independence transferred the control of our foreign and national in terests from the Crown aud Parliament to a body elected by ourselves. But independ ence alone involved no guarantee that our foreign and national affairs would be con ducted with greater justice or even securitv than before. On the contrary, we found it perverted to aid Bonapartism by a war with England, and to extend Slavery by a war on Mexico. The adoption of our Federal Constitution j gave us a germ of power which might : dwindle into a league, or grow into a nation. I But from 17*9 to 18<",:> there was an imp/- rium in imperio, an oligarchy ruling through I the forms of our Republic, and claiming to ; lie stronger than the nation itself. For a lime for the take of peace, the claims of the j oligarchy weri not disputed, and Slavery was stronger than Liberty throughout the ! land. Slavery sat in the President's chair, while Liberty swung on John Brown's gallows. Slavery wore the Chief Ju-tice"s ; robes, while Liberty fled, pursued by blood hounds, to the jungles of Florida, thedi.-mal swamps of the Carolina?, and the snows of Canada. Our boasted iiberty was definable in the terms which a Bourbon would have used to describe Bonrbonism, viz: the right of superior races to divide power among themselves as they think proper. Our De mocracy. like the Britbli peerage, was the mere equality of despots with each other. At length the struggle between the people and the oligarchy came. It seemed long, dark, and agonizing in the endurance; hut history, comparing it with its full-orhtd re sults, will describe it a? wonderfully brief, brilliant, and decisive. For the two first years of the struggle the Government refused to see the Hand of, God in the war. It insisted on branding it as a politician's quarrel, a mere contest be tween States and sections. Lower and lower trailed our flag before the victorious legions of the new Southern nation. On this theory their cause was as just as ours. When the standards rose, Emancipation was written on them, and all men rose with j them. Victory succeeded to defeat, until tV,a military forces of the Rebellion were [ subdued. But there were some who "trem bled when they learned that Emancipation came to us as our Savior. Universal suff rage was but a part, the better and more perfect fruit of Emancipation. After another struggle it is our--. We agree with those who regard these changes as great and radical revolutions in oar constitution of Government and in our national and social life. But wc hail them with joy as the dawning of a brighter, holier and happier career than could otherwise havo befallen the nation. No longer can the aristocrats and kings of the old world point to Slavery as the foul blot on our pre tended freedom, or to the irreconcilable hos tility of our sections as proofs of republican weakness. We have now a Constitution purged from ail iniquity—a flag unstained. All who breathe our air arc free. The humblest citizen shares in the sovereignty. Popular statesmanship has proved itself able to subdue the uio.-t gigantic Rebellion in all history, to aboli.-h the most deep sea ted and powerful abuse of all time, to establish the strongest Government on earth and to vindicate its national honor from re pudiation. All this was necessary before our Union could, or ought to, ext> nd over the continent and embrace its future seventy-five States and its hundred millions of people. The agonies of the past eight years, so far from indicating the decadence of our national power, are its birth-throes. Let those who, under God, have won this signal and closing victory for Freedom, the last that remained to he won in our long struggle wit a American Slavery, now press forward to the full enjoyment of the fruits of their great struggle. Let even the van quished learn that it is better to serve ia Heaven than it would have been to reign in Hell. And may our candidates elect, with charity for all, with malice toward none, but with the firmness to do the right as God gives thetn to see the right, make so noble a use of the powers reposed in them, a- will vindicate the confidence of the peo pltS.—xMcw J.ortx | TIIF. CONSULAR SYSTEM.— We see by the | report of the Fifth Auditor of the Treasury that the Consular system is not only self supporting, but is actually becoming a source of revenue to the Government. The expenses of the system during the fiscal year were $373,750. The total receipts from the Consulates for the same time were $435,179, showing a revenue from this source of $61,420. This is very gratifying. We hope to see some other departments of the Government make like exhibits. They will, we trust, under GRANT'S administra tion. GLASS MAKING.— The art of glass making *as introduced into modern Europe by the Venitians. Besides discovering the art of rendering glass colorless by manganese, the \ enitians also enjoyed the monopoly ot mir rors, the silvering of which was a secret long kept from other countries. These mirrors, however, have now lost their reputation, as foreign competitors produce larger plates. Glass beds are still made in considerable quantities for exportation. Venetian enam els have always been famous, and among the peculiar productions of Venice may be reck oned the beautiful composition called adven turine, the secret of which is said to be in the posession of a single manufacturer. The great glass-works are at Murano, one of the islands of lagoon. The number of persons employed in glass making at Murano and V enice is 6.000, of whom one third are men, and two-thirds women and children. The aonn&l cost of the substances employed in ,L- ma ? ufa f ar ?. ,s estimated at about 7,000,- UMWt , J ° the East there is a constant de mand for beads and other articles known as "conterig. ' There are six glass works in Turin, three in Geona, five in Milan, thirteen in Florence, eleven in Naples, and twenty in Venice. THE STATE.—OFFICIAL.— IB6B.

The Wheeling, West Virginia, Intellign cer of Saturday says: We have Wen surprised to find how great ly the majorities for Grant in this state ex ceed those cast for the State ticket. Twenty-three counties: total gains, 2,602; total losses, 71; net gains, 2,531. Add this to the majority in OctoWr, and it makes Grant's majority about 7,3u0, if the thirty counties yet to he heard from give just the same majorities they did last niount.h. The largest co-nntio a aro reported, but it Will not be surprising if those yet to he heard from have given near a thousand gain on their last vote. It so Grant's majority will be over 8,000. INDIANA. The Indianapolis, Ind., Journal of Friday has official returns from fifty-seven counties in the State. It shows by table that the net Republican gain in these counties over the State election is 6, 988. The Journal says: Should the counties yet to he heard from show Republican gains in the same ratio.

Montgomery, Nov. 7.—The Legislature spent to-day in discussing whether this is the beginning of a new session or the con tinuation of the old session.

Little Rock, Nov. 7.—lt is conceded that Rogers, Democrat, is elected to Congress in the Second district. The First and Third districts are still doubtful.

Augusta, Nov. 7.—Additional returns continue to increase the Democratic major '■Siooa ~ ; - u How It was Done in New York. Commercial Advertiser says: The large Democratic majority in this city is owing to the want of thorough organization on the part of the Republicans. In nearly allot the strong Democratic voting | precincts, there was no Republican chal j leoger on duty, and the inspectors of elec tions were either intimidated from doing their duty hv Democratic ruffians, or cor rupted to close their eyes to the frauds be ing perpetrated. The manner in which some of the polls were deserted by the Re publicans was not only shameful, "but cow ardly. The fact that over thirty thousand bogus names were placed on the registra tion, and that the Democrats were permit ted to vote in excess of the registration in some districts, is evidence sufficient to show the infirmity and imbecility of the Repub lican organization. It is not only worth less, we are sorry to say, but rotten. Take lor instance the Sixth ward. 5,651 names were registered -the vote is 5,033 for Hoff man, 368 for Gnswold— total. 4,501. show ing that they voted within 159 of the num ber registered. No honest man will say that there are in the ward 1,509 legal vo 'ers - Here is a clear fraud of 2.500 votes for Seymour and Hoffman. The same frauds are seen in the Seventh, Eleventh, Seventeenth and Twenty-first wards. Never in the history of elections were ever witness ed such barefaced ballot-box stuffing. The election in the city is nothiug more than a mockery and a farce. It is no expression ol the people. It is the voice of wicked ness intensified.

In i this labor it is peculiarly advantageous to : have thu co operation of several observers; i and as the observations are of a very simple j character, the director would cordially in- I vite all who are interested in this subject to ' unite therein with him. Those who can not do duty at the Observatory may still accomplish something at their own resi deuces, especially if provided with a good star map or globe. A map of the bright stars within forty-five degrees of Leo may indeed he constructed beforehand, and be used with good results. Corresponding observations will be made ; at seveiai points within a hundred miles of us, and it is hoped that some results for parallax may be deduced.

"The curious of Bedford who were such diligent watchers during the previous me teoric showers will again have another op portunity to indulge in an ocular feast. As but a few of the many watchers on that oc casion were lucky enough to see the "tall," it might he well to enjoin more diligence (if possible) and if the same general interest be manifested on the coming occasion as was on the previous, it might perhaps be better to have the "watch" systematized slightly in so much, that a part at least of the observers will be constantly on the gui vice to give the general alarm upon the first demonstration. FLORIDA. Conflict of Authority—Apptehensious of a Riot—Arrest of State Officials. TALLAHASSA, Nov. 7. —About nine o'clock last night, citizens to the number of one hundred or more were summoned by the city and county authorities to hold them selves iti readiness to aid in quelling any riots. At eleven o'clock, p. m., there being no indications of trouble the posse was dis charged. The cause of the call was the con Hieing orders from Governor Reed and Lieutenant Governor Gleason, and fears were entertained that the colored people would be called to support the action of the Legislature. The citizens are uneasy to day and will not interfere except to aid in pre serving the peace, when prompt assistance will he needed. There-are rumors on the streets to-day that the plantation negroes have been noti fied, to couie in to night, but the repott is doubted. One company of the seventh regiment is posted here thirty strong. The Legislature adjourned this morning until January. No quorum was present when the impeachment resolutions were passed- Several members held seats and voted whose seats had been declared vacant by the proclamation of the Governor by reason of the members accepting and occu pying other official positions. Gov. Head refuses to recognize the action of the body, and declares it illegal. Lieut. Gov. Glea son this morning demanded posession of the executive office and was refused by Gov. lteed. who has brought suit against Gleason and Olden, Secretary of State, before the Circuit Judge for conspiracy against the Governor, and they are now under arrest. This ease is to be sent up to the supreme Court. The California Earthquake. The people of the Atlantic border are not in a position to realize the probable gloom cast over those of the Pacific by the late ter restrial convulsion. The feelings of the San Franciscans may Ik; fitly likened to those of a strong man in the very flower of youth and vigor, a long way on the road of exalted prosperity and with a future full of promise, suddenly warned by a first visitation of par alysis. Tho ouoocediiig dens of (hat man are those of uncertainty and lurking dread. The effect of such a visitation upon the amLition and energy of an individual can hardly be said to be entirely analagous to that U(wn a community, but it is largely so from obvious reasons. The question, whether the Pacific slope of the northern continent of this hem isphere is to be visited by the same volcanic disturbances that have so long afflicted the southern one, is pregnant with momentous considerations and results for the whole na tion. If these phenomena are to override all those natural cheeks by which science has assured us they were confined to tropical latitudes, aud pervade a region as unfavora ble to their presence as California, upon the scientific hypothesis commonly accepted, what assurance have we that they will not extend their march to the Atlantic coast? It is not at all unreasonable to suppose that the same changes are going on in the motive cause of these phenomena that are observa ble throughout the whole natural system. Assuming such to be the case, we are brought face to face with prospects that are novel and disturbing in character, and that must enforce a radical alteration of things with us. If followed up by other shocks, the San Francisco earthquake may possibly prove to be a national blight, of a greater or less degree. It certainly must seriously dis turb the ambition for greatness of that otherwise naturally favored region. In the mid*t of the general enterprise, the building of the great transcontinental railway spans, and the aspiring and prodigious exertions being made to control the commerce of the whole Eastern world, this physical eruption comes as a monitor. In view of the impor tanee the case has now assumed, we think it eminently advisable that some means be taken, either under public or private auspi ces, for the discovery of the precise laws by which this class of phenomena is governed, and, if possible, the measures which shall be adopted for the general protection, if there be any promising protection. The Variations o( Language. Mr. Howorth, in a letter to an English journal, gives his views of the manner in which a language may be changed. This may occur, he holds, in two ways, cithet by the growth of variations of its vocabulary or by the modification of its structure The growth or change of the vocabulary depends on the changed conditions of the race*using it. An example of this may be found in the cases of nomadic tribes, such u th Si berians or the red Indians, who have no literature to fix their language, and eonse quently, under new circumstances, are con stantly changing the expression of their ideas. On the other hand, plough-boys fixed to one spot are remarkahle for the paucity of their language. To educated classes newspapers and books afford an op portuuity of adding to their vocabulary similar to that possessed in another way by the nomads. A test of this theory can be found by examining the vocabulary of prov incial dialects, or those of islands such as Iceland or the Freisic Islands, off the coast of Holland, or those in the fiords of Nor way. The structure of language is affected differently, Mr. Howorth "maintains. He thinks that while grammarians may produce some change, as they have in the formation of the Latin of the best period, their influ ence is but slight and does not effect the "'back bone" of the language—that spoken by the masses. The causes of the changes which effect the structure of a language are well illustrated iu the case of the English of to day. Thus while the Anglo-Saxon is a language rich in inflections and possessing an elaborate grammar, modern English has "hardly an inflection of a trace of gram mar." This alteration is referred to the effect of the romance language of the Nor man French on the Anglo-Saxon. Both these languages made mutual sacrifices when coalescing. The same is true of the combination of Anglo-Saxon with the W elsh, and it is argued the same occurs at every amalgamation of races speaking differ ent languages. On the other hand, it ia in terred that wherever a language has Buffet ed grammatical changes or mutilations, or has been altered in pronunciation, a new element has been infused into the original stock of the people. Hence philology and ethonology become complementary to each other. The theory is a plausible one, and can be supported by a good deal of evidence. —tVUburgh Despatch A Man with Two Heart*. The Hartford Courant says this man lives in that city. He is ahout fifty years of age, and is able bodied. He had lived up wan! of thirty five years before the phe nomenon was discovered. Singular features of the case are that there are two separate arterial connections between the two hearts, and the best authorities, who have given attention to the subject, agree in saying that the smaller organ performs the general func tions of the body in all blood relations, while the larger appears to have a distinct exis tence in that matter, and only operates upon the nervous system through peculiar mechan ism not entirely unfamiliar to the profession. The larger organ shows frequently unusual activity, and gives evidence of a lurkin disease, which, it is said, will sooner or la ter carry the man to his grave. The lesser organ, dependent only upon the greater in such degree as the several organs of physical life are dependent for perfect working upon the healthful regulation of the whole uiechuuiMn, has been found to be in an al most perfect state —the ,-anie as ordinary persons of good health, who are not distur bed by the presence of a second organ. The effect of this second presence upon the person alluded to is at times melancholy beyond description. It has a quick, active motion, showing the presence in the arteries j of a superabundant quantity of blood to vitalize the lesser organ; the man exhibits I considerable elasticity of spirit, but this is | only temporary; more frequently there is a sluggishness tu the nervous connections, which is followed By loss of sleep and great petulance in wakelul moments. On such occasions the family of the man find him a most disagreeable companion. He displays a mild form ol insanity, which, it is feared, may develop in something worse. So severe have been some of his paroxysms of late, that a council has been called, and it has j been decided that, the larger heart may be ! removed without the least disturbing of the blood relation of the body, but the man, who hs been approached on the subject, declares that of the two organs he had rather have the vital one of the body taken out, which cin not be done without producing instant diath. This organ is situated under the vest watch pocket of the man; the other is in the pocket where he carries his cash.— Pittsburgh Dispatch. Threatened Famine ia India.

Ori-a was swept; the other districts between Calcutta and the sea are still four feet under water; even more distant Tirhoot was deluged. The rice crops rotted; those sown a second time are now rotting before my eyes. But in Bengal the crop of the year comes later, as we have too good reason to know sioce ! 1866. On the rainfall this month and half i of next depend the fate of the cold season i crops and the lives of thousands. Now, j Bengal has already had much more than its i whole year's supply. No less than seventy eight inches have falieu at Calcutta, or elev ! en more than the annual average, against ; fifty-three in the same time last year. "Nor has Western India escaped the del I uge. At this time last month it inundated I Guzerat, Ahtnedabad, Kaira, Kurst, and i the other great old cities there have been | desolated. The news of a calamity which jin Europe would have called forth the lamentation of nations, in India takes three J weeks to travel across the pemnsuela. : Houses have fallen down by tens of thou ] sands, and lives, both European and native, have been lost, while railway bridges have been washed away. "At this moment the sixty millions of human beings who live by the land between i the Indus on the north, theChumbul, if not j Nerbudda, on the south and the D.im ! moodah, in the far east, are praying for rain, in mo.-que and temple, through priest I and idol. The Lahore and Liodiana dis i trieuof the Punjab have the Ilaree Dooab i ('anal or iho Indus; but flour ( atta ) is at ten pounds a shilling, and in the depth of the last famine it rarely reached seven pounds. 'Tn Lower Bengal the crops have suffered j froia too much rain, and up in Behar they tre suffering from too little. Rice, that used to sril at thirty seers for a rupee (thirty pou ids a shilling) is selling at twenty, and goirg up higher every day. If there should , be to rain this month nothing can prevent a j fum ne." Canons Termination ola Murder Trial. A murder trial met with a curious termi n.-ton in Henry county, Illinois, iast week, i Flo case was a trial of a man named Hatn iltui on an indictment for murder. A jury I wai empannelled and the witnesses for the . prtsecution examined, showing a clear case ofaurder against the defendant. At this staie of the proceedings the oouusel tor the defence asked leave to enter a [ilea of guilty of manslaughter. This was refused. The prsoner then pleaded guilty of murder as chtrged in the indictment. The court ac cepted the plea and discharged the jury, thirc being no question of guilt for them to pass upon, and here is where the case as sumes an alarming shape. The General As sembly of that State at its last session pass ed a law that in all cases where felonies are punishable with death, the jury may return a verdict of guilty, and at; a part of the I verdict are required to determine whether | ihe prisoner shall suffet death by hanging or : oe imprisoned in the penitentiary for hie, or : fur not less than fourteen years; and that no person shall he sentenced by any court unless the jury shall have so found in their verdict upon trial. The judge held that upon a plea of guilty the court could not sentence a prisoner to death, but must imprison him for one of the terms named in the law. This construction on the law makes it easy to avoid the death penalty in Illinois. Freezing the Brain. The discovery that the brain of a living animal could be frozen and afterwatd could recover was made by Dr. James Arnott. who solified the brain of a pigeon by exposing it to a freezing mixture. Here research stop ped. because with an ordinary freezing mix ture it was not possible to act ou individual parts of the organ; but the inportance of i t he discovery is not the less on that account. ■ It was a marvellous revealling organ of mind, <>t all volition. It took in every motion of urnvfr*> ru wbrek it wtf cat>*"*'U. It 'took the light and form, and color by the feye; it took in sound by the ear; sensation and substance by the touch; odor by the mouth; it gave out, in return or response, animal motion, expression—all else that demonstrates a living animal; without it the animal was turned into a mere vegetable. And this organ, the very center and soul of the organism, was by mere physical experi went for a time made dead —all its powers ice- Kound. And this organ, again, set free, received its functions back again, and, as we know now by further observation, its •unctions unimpaired. Surely this was the discovery of a new world.— Pittsburgh dis. patch. A STRANGE DISCOVERY.—A queer ex humation, says the Wellsville Union , was made in the Strip Vein Coal Hank of Captain Lacy, at Hammondsviile, Ohio, one day last week. Mr. James I'arsons and his sons were engaged in making the bank, when a huge mass of coal tell down, dis closing a large smooth slate wall, upon the surface of which were found, carved in bold relief, several lines of hieroglyphics. Crowds have visited the place since the discovery, and many good scholars have tried to de cipher the characters, but all have failed. Nobody has been able to tell in what tongue the words are written. How came the mysterious writing in the bowels of the earth where probably no human eye has ever penetrated? By whom and when was it written. 1 here are several lines about three inches apart, „the first line containing twenty-five words. Attempts have been made to remove the slate wall and bring it out, but upon tapping the wall it gave fourth a sound that would seem to indi cate the existence of a hollow chamber beyond, and the characters would be de stroyed in removing it. At last accounts Dr. Hartshorn, of the Mount Union Col lege, had been sent for to examine the writing. A Church Blown Acvuy. Yesterday morning about nine o'clock, a little brick church on the Hardin pike, about eleven miles from the city, and situa ted on a point where the road runs between two lofty hills, was literally blown away, only about fur feet of the wails being left stan ding. The wind had been pretty stormy all the morning, and many trees had been blown down on the surrounding hill, but at the hour above named a gust of wind swept along the road, catching up in its sweeping progress, every detached object in the way and whirling them round as if it were a horizontal cylender. fence rails, branches of trees, hunks of earth, and even stones were whirled around by tor ill anger as it came along with irresistible force and inconeeiva hie rapidity—it struck the church about, four feet above the ground, ripped off the bricks and mortar, and swept the whole up per part away quite dean. A few bricks were dropped along the road for two or three hundred yard-, but the nmin portion was taken nearly half a mile, to where the road opened out on a wide stretch of com paratively flat country, arid there dropped in the bed of a creek, with the. roof still firmly attached to the walls. Two cows that had been to leeward of the building while it was yet standing, were knocked about twenty yards away into tt hollow. They seemed considerably stupified, but otherwise sus tained no damage.— JSushvilU Press. A Youug Illinois Diplomat. G. A. Towosend, in his Washington let ter to the Hartford Post, pays the following handsome compliment to a worthy young Illinoian. while mentioning others in our foreign diplomatic service: Among the young men at home, or en route, is John Hay, the late President's sec retary. who haiis, I believe, from Alton, 111. Hay has had remarkable luck in the patronage of the State Department, but he owed it originally to his tai"nts and main tained it by his prudence. He is übuttt 152 years old; but doe not look to be more tbati 25. He is small in stature, of a lighr and rose complexion, with brown hair, gold tinted. and a clear, fine eye. Fie wa-Secre tary of Legation and Charged' Affaires in Paris, and held ai.-o the latter rank in Vien na. Being lively and well bred, he attrac ted attention in Loth capitals and from the household of the Countess Guiceioli to the private office of M. Thon venal he wa, held in pleasant request. His literary t dents are of a notable grace and manliness; Mr. Lin coln admired his poetry and among his as sociates in France were Ahout, Laboulaye, Dore and other bright young intellects of the period. It is in the civil service that a man like Hay would deport himself to dis tiuction, if ,lime and encouragement were permitted by the demoralized character of our politic-. He bridged over the space be tween Motley and Watts so well that it i< questionable whether we would net do well to save the big salaries altogether, li indeed we require half of our diplomatic body. Extraordinary Suit tor Trespass. A -ait of an extraordinary nature wa rned in Justice Aldridge's Court, at Ilud son City. New Jersey, a few days since, to recover damages for trespass, in opening a grave and chisling off a piece of the coffin. I>a-t summer a son of James R. Knapp wti burrit d by Henry Stiff, undertaker, and subsequently, when the bill was presented, Mr. Knapp refused to pay the full amount claimed, alleging that the coffin was not black walnut, as agreed upon. To settle tin dispute, it was agreed that they should open the grave on the 12th of August, but on the 11th Mr. Stiff proceeded to the cemetery and directed the sexton to open the grave and chip off a piece of the coffin from the shoulder with a -barn chisel, which the defendant furnished, and which would do no damage. The sexton did as directed, and in company with Mr. Stiff presented the piece of coffin to Mr. Knapp for inspec tion. Thi- act done before the time agriwd upon, excited suspicion in the mind of Ml. Knapp, who di<l not believe it to be a piece of the coffin, and still refusing to pay the bill, Mr. Sriff brought suit and recovered the full amount of his demand. The pre-ent suit was brought to recover as above. The jury after beiug out six hours, brought in a verdict of live dollars damages for the plain tiff. _ Who'll tiet That Banner ? On the eve of the Presidential contest, which closed so disastrously to Democracy, our amiable friend. Sena or Wallace, pro posed to aive the county which -bowed the largest Democratic increase over the vote cast at the October election, a banner, with appropriate embellishments and mottoes, all of which was: to cost five hundred dollars. As the re-ult has shown that the Deuiocra c.v did not gain in any of the counties at the ; Presidential over the vote of the Octo her election, what wili Senator Wallace do with that banner? It has of course been painted, trimmed and bung on it-staff, but there are no Democratic hands in Penn-yl vania tit to hold it aloft. Beaun, broken actually into pieces, and wrecked so wof'ull) that no political genius, or skill of political manipulation, can ever again reorganize and reanimate the Democratic rarty, all that Mr. Wallace can now do is to take that celebrated Clearfield coffee pot, wrap it in the Banner which wa- not won by the Democracy, and burv both amid the umbra geous shades of the pine fnrrests of Penn sylv nia. wl.ere, after the Democracy have become weary of visiting Fred Lauer s lager vaults in Beading, they can repair to weep over their 'ost cause and threaten "war to th'- knife—th>* knife to the hilt" to the hated Radicals.

TIIE WORKING PEOPLE. —According to a recent calculation as to the condition of the United States the average life of American mechanics is estimated at 401 years, and the average number of days of work in thi> climate at 250 in each year. The average expense of an adult for board and clothing in the seaboard cities arc calculated at about $3fX) a year. On the supposition that a laborer is paid on an average of $3 a day for hts work for the 250 days working he will receive £7.50 a year. Ih'duct price of boarding and clothing, s3f>o. aud there is left £450 for all expenses of keeping a f'anii iy, for amusements, education and contin gencies. The sum, it is asserted, is insuffi cient in many instances. The average working years of a laboring man Iteing esti mated at twenty, his total earnings in an average life time, with 350 working davs in the year, at $3 per day. woulti be £15,000, or £322,5S per year, $0,20 per week. EXECU TION or ARABIAN CANNIBALS. —Five Arabs were executed lately at Constantina, Algeria, l'bey had been condemned to death in June last: one for the murder of a beggar at El Kantra. and the four others for the murder of a boy at Ain Querfa, aud theeating r,f Cho bod* titrorwiii-,1.. rn„ „„re informed at four o'clock in the morning that the fatal hour had arrived, aud after the usual toilette, were taken in a covered vehicle, escorted hy soldiers to the place of execution, where they arrived a little before seven o'clock in a state of extreme prostration.

ONE THOI'SAND women in St. Petersburg, Russia, are engaged in the remunerative art of fortune telling. The highest circles of society furnish the votaries to these priestesses, who also deal in Asiatic per fumes, and allow gentlemen to stroll from the idlest of curiosities into their little temples, Taking the whole number of in habitants into account, which would allow one prophetess to every stXt people. St. Petersburg cannot surely complain of beiug kept in the dark about coming events. AT a recent dinner, at which no ladies were present, a man in responding to the toast on '.women," dwelt almost solely on the frailty of the sex, claiming that the host among thetn wen- hut little lietter than the worst, the chief difference being in the sur roundings. At the conclusion of his speech a gentleman rose and said: "I trust the gentleman, in the application of his rhmarks referred to his otcti mother aud sisters, and not to our*."

TWENTY- EIYE thousand and sixty-six dollars have been collected in New York for the benefit of the South American earthquake sufferers. THE Queen of Sweden has turned trans lator, and the profits of her labors are to be applied to the foundation of a hospital in Stockholm. TAXES IN FRANCE. —The indirect taxes of France for the first niue months of 1868, according to the official returns, amount to $185,976,000, being an increase of $2,177,- 000 over the corresponding period in 1867, and an itic-eaae of $3,550,000 over that of 1866. IT is said that Prince Alfred of England is adverse to the idea of becoming King of Spain, while bis mother, the Queen, and his elder brother, the Prince of Wales, fa vor the scheme; the latter being jealous of his younger brother' extreme popularity with the Knglisb people. IPOI-ATRY ABOLISHED.—'The new Queen of Madagascar has abolished idol worship, and openly declared her contempt for the idols and their priests. The Queen herself has not yet espoused Christianity, but the impetus given to the work of conversion is reported to be such that "the Christian churches cannot contain the crowds who Hock to hear the Gospel. - ' FIKE ARMS. —It is stated that ninety-five out of every hundred instances of the bursting of a double barrelled gun can be traced tode feets in the left barrel. The reason is simply that the right is most frequently used and re loaded—perhaps ten times to the left being discharged once. Ever, time the rightbarrel is discharged, the gunpowder in the left is pulverized more or less by the shock, and the settling of the giains leaves a space between the charge and the wadding. Hence when the left barrel is discharged, it frequently ex plodes. These accide its, it is a-serted, can be avoided by sending the ramrod home with one or two smart blows into the noudischarged barrel every time the other is re-loaded. CYCI-ONES. —A member of the F'rench Academy of Sciences gives the following simple method of determining the position of the centre of a cyclone: "If you place your self in the direction of the wind which is blowing so that it strikes you full in the face, ihe centre of the cyclone will ahcays be on your left at 90 degrees (torn the dnection of the wiud. It is evident that in stretching out the left army horizontally and parallel with the surface of the body, you indicate at once (he position of this centre. This practical method, which is subject to no exception is so easy Ic retnetnber and to execute, that no sailor should be permitted to ignore the posi tion of this fatal centre from which he must fly at any risk. INTERNATIONAL COINAGE. —The Royal Com mission, recently appointed by the English Parliament, to consider the possibility of es tablishing an international coinage, says that before any agreement can be concluded very difficult and complicated questions will have to lie settled, concessions will have to be made on one part and on the other, and it will also be an important matter for consider ation bow far an agreement may be facilitated by making the charges which are necessary, bear on any country as lightly as is consistent with the attainment of the common object. The Commission therefore recommended the holding of an International Conference, com prising authorized representatives of different countries, to confer upon the subject. MEXlCO. —Letters from the City of Mexico state that the charter of the railroad to Vera Cruz has been rescinded by Congiess by a vote of seventy three to sixty five. The vote is interpreted as a defeat to the Government party, and has occasioned much excitement in the Congress on that account, and among the citizens, because a great many of the working people will be thrown out of employ ment in consequence. Romero has publish ed his report of the finances. In accounting for expenditures he is unable to give details, hut savs that all the revenues are expended. The national expenditure incurred by the five years' war against Maximilian and the French, yet unpaid, is $3,834,807. A FRENCHMAN named Charlier has inven ted a new sort of horse shoe which is much 1 raised. It consists of an iron band let into a rectangular groove scooped from the outer circle of the horse's foot. This band is fas tened with seven reiangnlar nails, driven into oval holes. The sole of the foot and the frog are thus allowed to touch the ground; the horse never slips, and never gets diseases of the foot. The new shoe has been tried by M. Lauguet, a large livery stable keeper in Paris, and has reduced lameness in bis stables by two thirds, The Omnibus Company, more over, have shod 1,200 horses: and speak of the improvement in high terms. BERLIN*, November 4.—King William to day opened the session of the Prussian Diet w;th a speech from the throne, and be said i ; bat new sources of revenue were needed to j provide for the increased expenditures.

PttESEjtes OF MIND IK A LITTLE GIRI. Foot YEARS OF AGE. —As three children, named Peter Mitchell. Louis Leach, and Ann .1. Lindsay, aged respectively eight, five, and four, were playing on the premises of Mr. Hollis Boleomb, in the town of Sudbury, Massachusetts, Leach fell into a hogshead of rain water set in the ground to the depth of five leef. As soon as he fell in Mitchell ran to his mother, at some distance from the drowning boy, and informed her of the acci dent; but the little girl got hold of the boy by the shoulders and held his bead above the water until assistance arrived and he was taken out, thus saving his life. AY HAT Sot THERS LANDS CAN Do.—The Ma con (Ga. Journal of the 28th nit. gives an account of a yield of cotton on five acres of land in Bullock county, near Union Springs, that deserves mention. The land was prepar ed by thoiuugb a, Abe. of fifteen inches, enriched hy the application of 2,">00 ' pounds—soo pounds to the acre —of mixture of Peruvian guano and phosphates, and worked at least once a week. The hill system of planting was adopted, and the yield was fifteen bales ot clean, beautiful cotton, of tine quality, each hale weighing 500 pounds. The Journal has heard of a similar yield in the neighborhood of Athens, and on land much poorer. Kernersville. X.

Anson Iturtiuyame) conceded to thit Compa ny the privilege of connecting the great eeaporte of the Empire by tubmarine electric telegraph ea ble, ire propoee commencing opera Hone in China, and laying down a line of nine hundred m iies or once, bettceen the following parte, viz : Population, Canton 1,000,000 Macoa „60,000 Hong-Kong 250,000 Swaiow 2011,009 Amoy 250,000 Foo-Chow 1,250,000 Wan-Cbu .100,000 Niogpo 400,000 Hang Chean -1.200,000 Shanghai 1,000.000 Total 5.910,000 These ports hare a foreign commerce of $900,. 000,000, and an enormous domestic trade, beside which we have the immense internal commerce of the Empire, radiating from these points, through its canals and navigable rivers. The cable being laid, this Company proposes erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and trustworthy means cf communication, which must command there, as everywhere else, the commu nications of the Government, of business, and of social life, especially in China. She has no pos tal system, and her only means now of communi cating information is by couriers on land, and by steamers on water. The Western World knows that China a very large country, in the main densely peopled; but a few yet realize that she contains more than a third of the human race. The latest returns made to her central authorities for taxing purpo ses by the local magistrates make her population Four Hundred and Fourteen Millione, and this is more likely to be under than over the actual ag gregate. Nearly all of these, who are over ten years old, not only can bat do read and write, ller civilization is peculiar, but her literature is as extorsive as that of Europe. China is a land of teachers and traders; and the latter are ex ceedingly quick to avail themselves of every proffered facility for procuring early information. It is observed in California that tbe Chinese make great use of the telegraph, though it there trans mits messages in English alone. To day great numbers of fleet steamers are cwned by Chinese merchants, and used by tocm exclusively for the transmission of early intelligence. If tbe tele graph we propose, connecting all their great sea ports, were now in existence, it is believed that its business would pay tbe cost within the first two Tears of its sa<cessfal operation, and would steadily increase thereafter. No enterprise commends itself as a greater de gree remunerative to capitalists, and to our whole people. It is of a vast national importance com mercially, politically, and evangelically. The stock of this Company has been unquali fiedly recommended to capitalists and business men, as a desirable investment by editorial arti cles iu the New York Herald, Tribune, Horld, Timet, Poet, Expreee, Independent, and in the Philadelphia Xorth American, Preee, Ledger, In quirer, Age, Bulletin and Telegraph.
