Should he do so, be would soon. discover that real, genuine, aimon-pnre,'Buchiutan-Lecompton Demo. crate are amazingly few:.

' A comma more or less, may seem a small nuttier for discussion; but even such a - question possesses interest for those whose attention b directed to the ;Sinitic of literature, as printers' and proof-readers' must be. After some examination, we-are led - to be: here that, while. natty newspapera - and a few maga zines are-punctuated like-the Teneher's Journal,— omitting the comma where the conjunction is Insert. ed between the last two of three or more successive words in the same construction,--011 - the authorities, and the almost .univerial practice In hooka, are in le. Cot of inserting theZ . ..comma. The latest authority that we hare seen on this point is 'TAP Printer, (New Tork,) for December, lira, which contains an article on the comma, fully agreeing frith our views. We have before us books printed in:Tarim:a citiert of the 'United States, in England, and in Scotland; and they all have the comma hiserted before the con junction, in cases like the above, except tyro or three ,American books in which both modes - of punctuation are found, probably owing to carelissness in the proof-reader. If the editor of the .Imrrsai will turn over any dozen books in his library, and observe how they are punctuated in this respect, hicati s hardly be in doubt as to what is the prevailing practice. : The reason assigned for omitting the comma does not satisfy us., The Jawrnel tells us that the com ma Is here used to supply the place of the cotjunc tion, and therefore when the conjunction Is inserted the comma is not needed. Wi think, on the con trary;that the pause denoted, by the comma exists whether the conjunction is of or not. In read -ing the sentence, "Virtue, honor, and Character were lost," tee make a pause after "honor" as well as after_" „ virtue."- It is true. that monists say th at in an example like this:—" *Virtue, and honor, and' character were lost"—in which sot more then three words are ,connected by conjunctions expressed, the comma may be 'omitted ; but it is perhaps as often inserted as - omitted in.such eases; and we hold that it is quite as correee.to insert it, and that the pause exists, and should be observed in t reading, %whether the comma is inserted or omitted. Misled by his theory that the comma stands in place of the con junetiop, the editor of the Journal gives nil attar ex• ampler of punctuation as this: "We are aware that Gould Brown rases the comma after each word of the same kind in the sentence, but we are also aware that neither he nor *lion nor Mitch nor Cniig nor Claik has ever given a reason for so doing." Mere probably few readers would 10, even 'With the JOl4l - punctuation, (or, rather, want of punctuation,) to make a pause before each "nor," equal to that in dicated by a comma ; and surely very few Punctuists would bare failed to insert the comma after " be," "Wilson," iff" The May Number of the Atlantic Maar, is upon our table, and contains the following inter esting contents : "The Gymnasium ;" " Why rEd the Gcrierness faint!" u Two years after," (verse ;) "A bundle-of old Letters," (a relic of the American Revoltitiou;) ."

WAR IMMINENT'., " A special edition of the Lonann Tinos' of the 21st of April contains the following high ly important telrgrnm : . . • Tunis, April 21, 1859. • , . Giulai, the Austrian commander in Lom , hardy, has been ordered to present an ulti matum for the disarmament and the- sending away of volunteers. If retbsed, war is to be declared in three days. Two more divisions ;)f the Austrian army-, consisting .of 80,000 men, have boen.ordered tb the Ticino. ''he English proposal , for n Congress upon the slime conditions as that at Laybach, has been refused. The London Times adds the fitllowing: "We have reason to believe the same! in telligence has been received by the Govern meet. A Cabinet council was at once sum moned, and the English - Gevernment said to have promptly . telegraphed to V.ienne, the strongest pretest against the above menace." - The London Evening Herald of the same d a t e contains a similar ennonncement, and it is otherwise fully confirmed. . - The Vienna eorrevoudent..of the London Times telegraphs, under date or Thursday noon. as follows: "The day before yenterdhy, Austria for warded a categorical summons frt• Sardiria to dissolve the free corps. Aseply lido be given within three trays from the receipt 1:)f the summons, and en evasive answer will be considered equivalent ton refusal." The Paris Nonikur of Friday says: • "Austria has not given her adhesion to the proposition made-by England, and accepted by France, -Russia, and Prassia •, beside which, it appears that the Cabinet of Vienna have resolved upon addressing a direct com munication to the Cahinet.of Turin, in order to obtain the disarmament of Piedmont. In consequenoe of these facts, the Emperor lhas ordered the 'concentration . Of several divisions of the army on the frantiers ofriedmon o The Perk says that General Marniora has informed the French Government by telegraph that the Austrian army has made significant movement on the strategefical line of the Ticino, and that he feared he might be attacked at any moment. Napoleon had held a council of Ministers, and was attended by Princes Jerome I s r nd Napoleon as Princes of the blood. The Kipg of Sardinia also held a council of Mirdstels on Thursday, the 21st.' VIELVA, Friday, April Tho following ofFie . ial statement is'puW.ish• ed : " Piedmont, which has for some Years past endangered Austria's rights,' hassbeen sum-. moned moit urgently by Austria to disarm. This demand is expressly to Piedmont.— Austria adheres firmly to the proposal for a general disarmament, although she cannot Make that proposal subordinate to the sum mons she has addressed to Sardinia." The Coaßtitntionel announces that part the army of Paris has received orders to hold itself in readineli to march..•. = LONDON, Saturday, April 23, 1853. After the Cabinet meeting on Thursday, a dispatch was sent to the Austrian Govern ment, expressing the strong diSapproval of the British Government of the peremptory course adopted by Austria. .The Daily Slims says the reply of the Ern neror of Austria has heeii received, He de clines to reconsider the responsibility incur red in coinmencing war in the heart of Eu- rope. Count Bun! declares that_ his master, having taken his course, will pursue it to the end. The Times says-that the Imperial mulles. to which is to accompany the declaration of war against Sardinia is already prepared.— A.ustria, mistress of the position, is 'ready, by the act of State and deed of war, to initiate the'singuinary drama upon which the cur- tain is about to rise. There is no doubt that s general movement of the French forces, has taken place on the entire Piedmonteso fron. tiers. English journals generally think that the last chance of peace has about vanished, and speculate on the opening movements of the campaign. The London Herted gives, in a semi-offi eta' form; some specific and exclusive infor-, mationi relating to...the -movements of. the French army. It says that orders have-been given for the emharkation at Toulon of 30,- 000 - ,troops—not ; however; to sail till further orders. The divisions at 'Lyons, Grenoble, Besancon, &e., have also received orders to be ready to march at a minute!s notice—but not to move till further instructions. The total Fieneb force destined to co-operate with Sardinia, in the event of war, estimated at 80,000, will lie in two .:divisions—one com manded by Canrobert;and the Other by Bar. eguay d'Hilliers—the whole •actively under the.

But the fraud is perpe trated in the following manner: The coin is placed on -a lathe and , made to revolve. A keen narrow chisel is set against the edge, and as the coin revolves the chisel turns Out the inSide of it, and penetrates nearly to the centre, leaving but two thin shells, as it were, connected at the centre. The cavity is then filled up with basfr metal, the coin is milled over again and the edge garvanized, showing 38 perfect a specimen of work in' fraud as was ever conceived or executed. Another mode of mutilating coin, which we see, is to punch a hole in them or file off the edges.— These practices are of course obvious to- any person who chooses to examine coins present , ed., The way to stop this practice is for ev. erg shopkeeper and dealer of every kind to reject all coins that .have been mutilated in the least degree. This would !eau all such coins in the hands of the persons who were guilty of the mutilation, and be an effectual bar to the rascality which was meant to be practised by the clipping. rg y- A married couple in Columbus,Ohio, having for a long time lived,a very disagree. able and unhappy life, resolved to terminate all their troubles by a joint suicide—the Pnl. od-river being the place and drowning the means.

Her face, too, was considerably bruised and disfigured, but no marks of vio lence wire discovered on the other parts of her body, Belding says be thought-she was - the devil—that she appeared to him to be tobr times ar large as " Dena"—that hei face was too large for " Dena"—and from his pre vious and isubsequeut . conduct there can scarcely be it doubt that the old man imag ines he had fight with the devil, or, as he expresses it, with thro devils, and fie had all fie could do to kill them." They. lived alone in the house. It is supposed the mur der was committed about twelve and a half o'clock yesterday afternoon. The first person who discovered the mur der was Nicolas Ryermillcr, who first saw the old. man outside the house. He appear ed very much excited, and told Ryeriniller that he had " killed the devil, and it was ly ing in there"—pointing to his( house. Ryer miller looked' in and disecniered the dead body of the daughter. He asked-.the Old man if it was not " Dena" - that he had kill. ed 3 Belding replied that he did not think it Was. Belding's hands and shirt sleeves were covered with blood. Ryermiller testified before the coroner's jury that the father and daughter had lived with him about six months previously -to their residing in the house where the murder was committed, and that they always appeared happy together, and, as the witness expressed it, "never had' any crazy times." Christina was n quiet, good girl. • Comner Madden, of this city, wits notified of the murder, and at o'clock last evening proceeded to he scene of the tragedy. He found.the neighborhood in great excitement. Belding was raving like a maniac when the coroner arrived. , Coroner Madden summon ed a jory—,Joel B. Peck, fiwerran—and pro ceeded to investigate the case. Several wit nesses were examined—their testimony ,be ing in effect as• above given—and the jury rendered a erdict that, u. their opinion, said Chriltjfitt Belding came to her death on Sunday,Uhy, 1, 1859, from fractures of the skill ; and said injuries were inflicted with a hammer in the hands of her father, John Bel ding—he at the time laboring under tempo rary aberration Of mind." Coroner Madden placed, Belding tinder arrest, and late last night arrived with him in this city and plac ed him in jail here. - -A dose of morphine quieted the nerves of the old man, and rend-, ered his conveyance here comparatively easy and safe. - The (rand Jury sit to-day. Tbe-evidenci in the case will be handed over to them for their action at once. They will probably au thortze.a commission to investigate the sani• ty the murderer, and if he is declared in- sane; will send him to 'the lunatic asylum ; or they wilt indict' hiin for murder, as in their opinion the evidence warrants. The neighbors give both. Belding go -the daughter a good character. The old man .was sober and industrious, and his delusion was the result of some catise other than drink.
