The Scientific American.—One of the most interesting andusSful'pubiicalionS which comes to l our sanctum is the Scientific Ameri can, a, Weekly publication, devoted to popular science, hew inventions, and the whole range of* mechanic 'and manufacturing arts. The Scientific American has been published for fifteen /years, by the well-known Patent Soli citors, Messrs. Munn & Co. 37, Park Bow, New York; and has yearly increased in inte rest and circulation, until it,has attained, we understand,' nearly 30.000 subscribers, which is,.thekest of evidence that the publication is ' appre'oiated by the reading public.

The Scientific Amercah is universally rq garded.aa the inventor’s advocate .and moni tor; the-liopository of American inventions,- and the great authority on law, and all busi ness connected with Patents. The Official List of Claims, as issued weekly from the Pa tent Office, in Washington, aro published re gularly in its columns. .All the most import ant Patents issued by the United States Pa tont'Offico orb illustrated and described on its pages, thus forming an unrivalled history of American inventions. ■ It is nftt only the host, but the largest and cheapest paper devoted to Science, Mechanics, Manufacturers, and the Useful Arts published in the world, lion.

The "party has been divined ©tided hT those wbe had been delegat'd,to protect its honor and preserve its unity. Had not a portion' of the delegates to tie National j Gimventicm acted • Kkc mad-mea, vre would; have gained a triumph equal to the Ihxsti -rictoiT of 1552. The mongrel opposition have selected a man for their candidate who has no strength even in his own party a bigoted -Abolitionist, of die Sewasd school, ■who has no record and, De position, except that 0 f an extremist and agitator. To defeat him would be an easy task, if the Democracy could but unite. But, as we have said, we are divided, with two candidates in the field, both claiming to be the regular nominee.— Both (Douglas and Beeckexkidge,) are great statesmen, either of whom we could support with a hearty good will; but, we can’t support both at the same time. We have placed the names of Docglas and Jonssos at the head of our columns in accordance with our own convictions and pre dilections, and in compliance, as wo have reason to believe, with the wishes of a very large majority of the Democrats of this county. We regard them the regularly nom inated candidates of the party, and as such entitled to the support of the party. Judge Douglas has, for years, been one of 'the main pillars of the Democratic army; in sunshine and in storm, he was always at his post,"battling,'with giant strength, for the men and tho measures'of the party. He is the idol of millions, who admire him because bf his great intellect, his'patriotism, and love of country. Gen. Jackson, in his palmiest days,-did' not number more warm devoted friends than Judge Douglas numbers at this time. But yet, a portion of the party express hostility to him, - and appear determined ,to break tip the Demoordtibparty, and to permit the Abolitionists to gether the reigns of gov ernment in their sdcrilegiodS hands.- "Well, if the South can bear the infliction; we in the I North will try to hear up under the dlsgracc inflicted upon our common country.-. If the great National Democratic party is to be de ifeated, the Secodera from the National Con vention will he hold responsible, nn9ihey must (bear: the consequences. We hope for the best, but feel prepared for the worst. The Reported Selling Oct or the Mob Mosa _Tho statement that Captain Simpson was oh his way to Washington as bearer of despatches from Brigham Young to the. gov ernment,. which, contain propositions from Brigham to soil out -the Mormon property to tlio United Spates, is not credited. Mr. Hoo per, the delegate from Utah,' says that Brig ham has ho right or authority to sell any pro-, porfy hut his own, and. that ho does not re gard'the statement as reliable. ... .:' Bythowayi we may hero-mention that the pacKkhhipi Wm. Tapsoott, which arrived' at Now York from Liverpool Oh the 10th inst,, brought nodess than eight hundred Mormons | as passengers, who -werodanded at Oastlo Gar den on the 20th, preparatory to starting for Utah to recruit the'dominions of Brigham Young.' These people arc said'to ho a hardy, healthyand industrious looking body, just the. class of men and women to add strength to any working community, and assist ip perpe tuating their peculiar race. Within the past six weeks upwards of, a thousand; Mormons inve landed at Now York from Europe, on their way to Salt Lake, all of them partaking of the same vigorous appearance ns those just arrived. While emigration continues at snob a pro digious rate, if is certainly not very reasona ble to expect that Mormon rule-can he put down in Utah. The.Fotvler Defalcation. —The Post-Mas ter General, in a communication to the House of - Representatives, says the true explanation of the ignorance of tho Department of the ex istence and progress of'tho fraud of Mr. Fow ler, the late Postmostor of New York, must bo ■sought in the failure of Dr. Tate, the Sixth i Auditor) to report tho constantly recurring de linquencies to tho Postmaster General. Dr. (Tate, in reply to tho Postmaster General’s re quest for an explanation, maintains that his official course bos been in strict conformity with the law and long established usage and 'practice; and’further declares that he is not conscious of having neglected the faithful per formance of his duty.. Kfe says that it was the duty of Mr. Zeveley, tho Third Assistant Post master General, who is the head’W-the Fi nance Department, to make tho discovery.— But Mr. Zeveley replies, “ No examination has been made since the re-organization .of the Department in 1836, with a view to fix theao oouhtability of Postmasters, that dalyolearly and exclusively devolved on the Sixth Audi tor." The Postmaster General coincides with this exposition of duty, saying the Third As sistant “ might conjecture a defalcation, hut could not know it with certainty."

AFFAIRS BETWEEN nilitßLT AND TOWNSEND, Of DELAWARE. Baltimore, June 20.-—Another personal encounter occurred here this moniing. Bast night, before the Committee of Credentials, language of. an. exciting personal character passed between Mr. W hlteley, the seceding delegate from Delaware, and m Townsend, the contestant* churning his seat in the Con vention. . ■ - r 'w* i At. 5 o’clock-this morning Air. Whiteley. entered the Malthy House, where Mr. Town send is stopping, and took his seat by the pas sage way leading to the wash-room.. vAbout a, quarter past 5 o'clock, Mr. Townsend came down stairs into -the, office, laid-,his.,canq.on. tho counter, and was walking into the wash room, having to E pass Whiteley oh the way. The latter rose, And, as Townsend.,passed,, struck him a-blow in the side of the, head; Mr. Townsend was staggered, by .the blowy but recovered immediately, and springing on Whitely,. seized, him by the front of . the shirt, and neck-tie, and. ran him across the -office, both striking,rapidly until Whiteley fell, Mr. Townsend being over , him. Townsend . then shook Whiteley some and said: “Sir, Iwant no difficulty with you,, and if you promise to behave yourself-and leave mG: alone! will let let you up.'’ . • Whiteley replied harshly, refusing to pro-, raise, and still struggling.: The-landlord of t the .hotel, who alone witnessed the encounter, kalledfor assistance, and the police entered hud separated the, parties. When Whiteley kose he immediately thrust his. hand in his jbreast pocket, as though feclingfor something,, i when Townsend said:—“Be careful, he may fbo armed,” Whiteley, feeling in his pockets, looked around* him on the floor, when Townsend saw Whiteley's- revolver lying near his feet. .He instantly secured it, hnd placed it in his own pocket, saying, “I will toko care of this at present.” Whiteley was then taken out of the house by the police, and the affair for the present terminated. ■ It is; supposed [hot Townsend will not follow up the quarrel, but will be prepared to defend himself.

A mooting is being held in Monument Square this evening, attended by a vast con course of people. . Mr. Yancey' made a speech deprecating the present condition"of affairs; expressing the belief that the Democracy need’nut bedisum tcd, and repudiating the intention to secede from the Union. If others thought' to drive 4 tjiem out, they would have a lively time, i Mr. Yancey's remarks appeared to be con ciliatory on their face.. ’’ The majority of the people here are deci dedly favorable to.tho.Union, and the crowd evinces signs of dissatisfaction whenever dis union sentiments are uttered; TUURSDAY’9 PROCEEDINGS. The Committee on. Credentials appeared in Convention to make a report. At this mo ment, the house being crowded, -the platform erected over the orchestra gave way with a tremendous crash, producing a degree of excitement, arid an adjournment till noon.' At noon, the Convention again assembled,! land Mr. Kruro, of Missouri, proceeded to read I the report of the Committee, It begins by, reciting various circumstances relating to the business before them. It recommends the admission of both the delegates from Missou ri. In the other seceding States where there is a contest, it recommends that the Douglas delegates bo admitted. The delegations from Florida and Mississippi made no application for admission. In the case of several of the seceding States, compromises were proposed,, admitting delegates from both sides, With the right to cast the votes of their respective States among them. , i Mr. Kruin, having toad his report, made a speech in its favor, vindicating the Committee from-all partiality. He declared that in all that, they had done, they had been governed by, the highest principles, and the best, wishes for the good of the party and the.country, Mr. Stevens, of Oregon, presented a, minor ity report, favoring the admission of the ariti i Douglas delegations. The Florida seceders oiro invited to return and take part in the proceedings of the Convention. ! The minority report is very severe on the majority. It de fends the course pursued by the seceding del egations, and asserts, their right to return to their seats in the 'Convention whenever they please. ' ' 1 '' ' ■,, The majority report was adopted in the committee by a vote of 15 to 10. The minority report is a very long docu ment. ' Mr. Gittings, of Maryland, read a report of his own,, dissenting from both the others. Several motions were made concerning the report, amid much confusion, Mr. Krum believed that an extended de bate on it would result in no good. Withiria reasonable time bo would move the previous question. Cries of “now I now I” - He de clined, however, doing so at present. Mr. Phillips, of Pennsylvania, moved that the delegates from Mississippi, Texas and Delaware bo admitted, as all the reports agree ,to it. There wore loud cries of “no I” amid great confusion. Mr. Krmn claimed the floor, tut the claim was not sustained. Mr. Phillips severely reflected upon the del egates that opposed the suggestion. He urged that the Mississippi, Texas and Delaware del egates should to admitted without delay, os there is no dispute in their case., Mr. Steven's, of Oregon, endorsed Mr. Phil lips’ views,- and moved the previous question. Here there was great cheering and confu sion. The call for the previous question was seconded, and the main question was ordered. Mr. Cochrane, of New York, wanted time for consultation, and moved that when wo ad journ,, it be till five o’clock, This motion was lost. Mr. Randall, of Pa,, moved to adjourn till half-past four, and called for at vote by States, Mr. Seymour, of. Now York', moved to ad journ.
