•' A thoroughly original book—original in
wanner aa well as matter—ia'-i great noveltv
now-a-daya. ’ Hero Is OHS,; however, putting
Science in the nvoat attr»c|lva form, tVottt thu
pon of Dr. itafikloh, of Ijfee*oii,. whioh Lay
long been promised, and \rill not disappoint
the public.' r„. ‘1;
Jl mountain book, treating of’« The Moun
tain,” written by a man wife; first drew breath
nmong-tho mountains of out* soypretglj Ponn
syirflititk, whd has had mpdbtiiini.di-hit bead
all ’ bis liib, )or yoars (aS a gebiojtttt oF Ibo
a dissector of mountains, and, 'os a
physician, a pleader for mountains In general,'
but especially an exponent of the high, claims
of the Alleghenies of Pennsylvania to afford
a retreat where sickness can be phanged into
health, and health become ypt mere tIUI.
It was mainly owing to .Dr. > Jackson that
Acts of. Legislature were pasgod, incorpo
rating a Health Institution, founding a Museum,
Library, and Obsemtory, and providing other
facilities for the scientific observation and study
of Nature.' In conneetion with" this,- before
and afltt, the mountainous - region Was ex
plored; rocks examined; springs analysed|
climate observed; trees, flowers, mosses,
birds, fishes; insects, and reptiles catalogued.
We say before , for ,Dr. Jackson was one oi the'
State Geologists who labored lor years to col
lect and classify information which, with
scarcely a.public acknowledgment, wot &p
-pfopflatcd by Pt-ofessor Rogers, now Of Glas
gow, who has thereby built up no small repu
tation as a man of Scienco, leaving each of the
real workora to say
‘‘Ho. ero feoi, tulit Horen bonnrei.”
Wo say after —because much of what was
thus acquired, and a great deal which could
not ho “ appropriated ’’ as above-mentioned,
has been fermenting in Dr., Jackson’s quick
braitt, and its essence here distilled over into
this book of « The Mountain.” A- curiously
characteristic book it is, breathing 1h? Very
temperament as well as the intellect and
knowledge of the writer. Always eloquent,
full of instruction, often conveyod in aqnaint
Jacksonian manner, it may sometimes Startle
but will always instrnot the reader. At times,
we have wished that Dr. Jackson lued cut a
third of it out—but that would take away the
personal expression and feeling which pervado
it, so, let it stand. Seduced to a didactic
treatise, it would not be half so good as if is.
The Mountain” opens with a Word to its
Subscribers, which is an apology, in the Doc
tor’s own, odd way, for the delay in pnbiiea
tion—as the hook was promised three years
ago. Bnt, a distance of 260 miles from libra
ries to conrait, Dom compositors to pnt Irre
gular manuscript into type, and from all fkei
lities of correcting proofs, will oxcUse much
of the delay. For tbs test, hofe la the au
thor’s own pleading; “Think of a country
doctor 'practising medicine in two .firms,
making fire-brick in one, sawing lumber in
another, cutting cross-ties for a railroad in
another, selling drugs in another, and-specu
lating in'mountain lands and hniidibg'Heaith
Institutes on his own hook, all at one time /”
Ho adds: “Torn by distractions, bewil
dered by complex functions, will you, sub
scriber, pardon the delay in the appearance of
the book, when you are assured.that some
thing really nsefbl has boon attempted; some
catalogue of facts,, oven if they are ftagi
Uientary and Unfinished, some suggestions,
howeVor crude and. inelaborate, have boon
made; and that tome eancil waplnttoeb and
prayors have been breathed (however;rin
timsly, uncomely, and ungrateful to averted

Following tho apologetic Word to Sub

readers from tho yostlbulo into tho main on

careless readers would have skipped it—but
“ Prolegomenon” is a novol phrase to tbo
tnahy, so they plutigo into it, to know what it
moans.
Tho Prolegomenon is more than a koto Pro.

By the way, the latest account we bavo had

Dr. Jackson suffered, like the rest of tho
world, by the Panic of 1857, which destroyed
property, ruined confidence, Created lawsuits,
and checked the very current of thought. Fi
nally he was able to concentrate it, and this
book is tho result.
Of course, « Tho Mountain” is very much
unlike the usual run of scientific works. It
consists of three books, viz:
Bookl. Atlas. Natural Soieuce of the Moun

There are blx chapters in Book L The first
treats of tho Gedlogy of tho Alleghany Moan
tain ; tho Second oi the Spll; tho Third oi'
tho Waters; the Fourth of tho Flora; the
Fifth of tho Animal Lite; and the Sixth of the
Climate of,the Mountain.
These sub-divisions aro treated with that
force 1 and freshness which, when combined
with 'oxtonijivo knowledge, make Geology n
delightful, as it is a necessary, part of'Natural
Scienco. The portion treating of Tho Waters
of the Mountain appears to us a perfect treatise
in its own fulness and completeness of inform
ation. Hero, tho practical knowledge of the'
author is veiy ably convoyed,, and this chapter
iSamtidei of conciseness. It‘treats of-the*
Mineral lYators of EehnsylVabia in Connection
with Geology, giving their wholo history, with
analyses. It especially treats of the minoril
springs of Bedford, Huntingdon, Frankfort,

Canada and New Mexico. In a \Vord, here
the scienco of tho Geologist and tho healing
skill of the Physician have united to produce
this chapter, w.liich is worth all tho price oi
the whole bo,ok.> The Flora and Fauna, as
well as tho Climate of the Mountain, are also
ably described—never before with any thing
like the accuracy and fulness. Tho rural na
turalist, who is inconvenienced by want’ of
books, will find a very multum m parvo of in

The peculiar idiosyncrasy of tho author
shows itself in Book 11, where he handles the
numerous armyof quacks without pity or ruth.
Ho searchingly considers tho present status ol
tho healing art, in tho hands of a properly In
structed profession, and gives no quarter to
ompirics and pretenders. The worst of it is
there being no Index, which greatly needs
such an aid. The table of contents presents a
remarkable melange of names and subjects.

Finally tho chapter ontitled <* Pan a symbol of

which tho wide domain of scionce is lighted
up aud revealed. Pau, god of tho rural world,
appears hero an oxponent of Nature's recu
perative power of Life, of which Dr. Jackson
is a believer and exponent.
Lot us conclude this notico of an able book,
tinged though it bo with some eccentricity of
style and expression; by an extract (p. 232-
285,) which describes tho seasonal changes of
forests of the Alleghany mountains in Penn
sylvania, in a manner no less practical than
true 1
“ The general aspect of theso forests, with their
dfftorenfcohanges In tho procession of tho aoasons,
must strike tho most oarelesa observer. Daring
the winter they are stark and stern, the evergreon
forests affording but a gloomy contrast, thoJr dark
green foliage scarcely suggesting tho thought of
life, while the oeaselesa moan of the cold and naked
atoms spoaks only of death to the wolfish wiods.
“ Occasionally, in the winter forests, a phenome
non ocours of surpassing wonder. This is the sud<-
den transition or transmute turn, frequently during
the night, as if by some magioal power, of the
whole foroßt of treos into a forest of glass. The
mists, rain, and alt charged with moisture, invest
the tree-irunks, branches, and twigs with aclothing
of iee, dear as orystal, so that the woods seom in
vested with an unrivalled splendor This glitter
ing and phantasmal array must bo socn to be ap
preciated or oonceived.
“Tho phenomenon of tho boar-frost is allied to
this glass metamorphosis. This is tho investment
of oaoh finest fibre of the woods with a snewy
crystalline, and sparkling volvet of frost, the air
being filled with floating and brilliant spangles,
detached by the slightest breath of wind. i
“ The vernal change is most genial and striking.
After the long death-Bleep of the winter, as is the
oase in northern latitudes, the leaves and flowers,
with tbo first tun-fires, flash ont upon the air with
an endless succession of tints, forms, and outlines.
The shades of green of the young foliage ate
numerous, giving a different appearance to
each newly-arrayed tree. Eaoh plant is pecu
liar in the oharaoter of its new-born leaveft;
sometimes, as in the oase of the baeoh,
dropping from the twig a soft and delioate
membrane that floats like a cobweb In the
air; again, as in the oheatnutp hanging sullenly as
if wilted; or, again, as in the oak and maple
family, obtruding their moro angular leaflets,
whioh stiok out rigidly from the terminal twigs.
Eaoh tree has a form or physiognomy for its new
bom leaf, also for tho perfect organ or full-grown
leaf, and these different aspects show trees as en
tirely unlike each other, in the different stages of
unfolding, as the oallow bird in the nest is nnliko
tho full-plumed and porfect adult. Even the grave
overgeeens Assume a new countenance in the spring
from toe protrusion of their annual growth of twigs
which are covered with exceedingly delicate light
green leaves, giving to tho tree, at this time, a gay
and oheerful look. This fresh livery of the vernal
forests forever Inspires with joy and hopefulness;
for it is tho timo when tho world and the soul are
full of promise.': With electrical .enchantment tho
spirit of the woods teaches the spirit of the man,
and he expands and vibrates with the budding and
unfolding leaf, ‘ for man Is one world, and hath
another to attend him.*
“ The vernal sounds of the woods are also stri
king and characteristic, appropriate and fit, as are
all the hannonles of the wild.- The soft, young
leaf has not yet arrived at firmness enough to rußtle
or oreak, and the boiling, simmering, far-off storm
and ooean-sound 1b not distinctly heard at this soa
son. A soft, muffled whisper, a wavy, stifled mur
mur, is all that the wind ean make, the delioate,
drooping leaflet having no vibratory consistency,
and consequently the accumulated sound is n sim
ple. monotonous breathing of the air through the
moist, sappy lungß of the forest.
“ As the foliage is perfected, and tho summer
change oomes on, the whole leaf-garment assumes
an entirely different expression. The monotonous
dark green of the fully-doveloped summer dresa of
tho trees gives the wood, with its different plants,
a moro uniform aspect. In full array tho forest is
oertainly rioher and grander in this display of the
life-powora, but it laoka the variety of tho vernal
tints The oolor of all the leaves gradually darkens
in buo aB they are porfeoted for the execution of
their work—the nourishment and recreation of the
tree. This darkened tint is gradually increased as
the leaf hardens and approaches its death-hour—
the arrival of the frost. Some time before this,
however, tho woods present, for an interval, a
eamonesaof feature, as if the leaves were silently
at work, and had no time to give tho phases of
beauty, but were hurrying up the exeoutlon of
their function to pass away into the sleep of death.
At this time the full-grown, hard, stiffened
leaves give to tho woods the sounds or characteristic
eumtoer-voioes— that seething and singingwhioh is
the result of Infinite friction and vibration of the
hard, tnrgid, and perfectly developed foliage of all
the trees. The roar of the woods, that great respire
. tory murmur, has now assumed atone that cannot

Letter from “Nox.”
[Correspondence of The Preas.]
■Washington, July 24.
Tho manifesto of tho Douglas National Com
mittee, denouncing every attempt to compromise
the Douglas and Breckinridge Democracy, in the
strongest terms, has created the utmost consterna
tion in the Disunion camp. ThO Constitution
contains, every day, long artloles, accusing therein
the Douglas men as being is favor of Linooln, whilst
everybody knows that Mr. Linooln, should be be
elected next {all, will be Indebted to the friends of
Breokinrliige more than to his own party. -
Mr. Baoh&nnn, who always hated the New Eng
land States, and never omits an opportunity to ex
press dislike towards them, Is now still more 1
enraged sg&inet them) elnco they have given suoh
a flattering and enthusiastic reception to Mr.
Douglas. His organ oalls it “ significant” that it
is the Republican fitato of Massachusetts where
the “ Little Giant” is thus honored; but it
that Massachusetts is also one of the seceding
States.
Whilst Douglas is almost idolised by the people
wherever he goes, tha ** honest Old Joe,” alias
“ the -Marion of the Mexican War,” who is also
travelling, cannot get up stoam enough to make
the people “ bailer.” At first he was despatched
to your olty, and thenoe to New York, where he
surprised everybody by his “ eloquence and states
manlike abilities.” The speech which he made at
thrf Philadelphia meeting was indeed a capital one,
and I wonder that, the “ Budget of F.uo,” or any
other paper of ‘a jocular character, has neglected
the opportunity to immortallzo the Old Hero. His
friends here in Washington, perceiving that the
exhibitions of their Morion would not “ draw "in
the North, reoalled-him" ami, sent him “down
(South,” to his native State, North Oarolina, ci-
of course, that “ Old Joe” would draw
large crowds, and that tho poople would halier.”
But, alas! we'all know the truth of the saying
“ that a prophet la not valuod much in his own
country;” and thus it happened that even in
North Oarolina >{ honest” Joe could not make the
people “ halier.” The wire-pullers here ate in
misery at the bad sucooss of their “ Marionettes
and asoribe it to the secret moohinatloni of tho
Douglas men.
But the ” Young Major” is not more fortunate
than the “ Old GoncTal.” The rcoeption of the
luoky Kentuckian in his own State does not' ap
pear to have been very enthusiastic. In Oincih.
nati, where he was expected to address the office
holders, ho'did not stop at All Is ho perhaps
ashamed of the “ Danitea?” The ratification meet
ing in Louisville was also a failure. In short,
Fortana seems to have forsaken the luoky young
Major. ;
Thore are forty-nine papers in Wisconsin that
support Douglas. Three are for Brookiurldgo. and
two both for Breoklnrldgo and Douglas.
The Postmaster Genoral Is about to issuo an im
portant circular to postmasters, requiring, among
other things, that in all owes postage stamps, and
not money, shall be used on the pro-payment qf
postages, and prohibiting the use of the rating
stamp? in danoelling postage stamps. A neglect
to cancel postage stamps effectually, or to post
mark letters plainly, will be regarded as oatSae for
serious censuro, If not removal, and all postmasters
are required to report every instance of snob ne
glect to the appointment office. Instructions are
also to be issued in execution of the recent pro*
vision of Oongress for the return of letters to the
writers thereof when they ore not taken out of
office by those to whom they are addressed.
A Breckinridge and Laue Flag iu the
Right Place*
|For The Pree*.]
Mr. Editor ; Among the numerous other indi
cations of public opinion, during an excited elec
tion OBtnpalgHj are the .flags or banners raised by
the respective political parties at their various
headquarters in front of hotels, and other place?.
Adopting this si a criterion, the Breckinridge and
Lane causo in Philadelphia oannot have taken
very deep root, for there is searcely ono solitary
flag bearing their names to be seen within the
litnlta of tho consolidated olty.
But there is one! I observed an account of its
raising, not long slnco, published among the city
items of our daily journals, , It is stretohed aoross
Wharton street, at Front, from the publio house Of
Mr. Hugh Barr. At tho time I read the state
ment, my onrlosity was excited to know.tcAaf in
fluence could have , been at work to have given
birth' to suoh an eccont'riC movement. I well
knew, however, that the device could not haVe
originated, with .the Democratic masses. Yester
day, business oalled me into, that section of the
city, when the milk in this cCcoanut was satisfac
torily explained. Mr. Hugh-Barr’s hotel-is lo
cated li? Immediate proximity to the navy yard , di
rectly opposite the adjoining residences of the
Uhlted States navy officials ! On the tavern-sign
stand the words: ” Government House,” Then
follows a pictorial representation of the White
Rouse, and underneath this is tho inscription-:
“ The President's Home at Washington.” Is
not this unmistakably true, that every Breckin
ridge and Lane demonstration in PhiladelpbU,
with scarcely an exception, oan be traced, with
unerring directness, to the influence of the United
States office-holders, with Buchanan at their head ?

Clearfield, July 22, iB6O.
On Thursday last a meeting was held in tills bo*
rough. As .it was announced that a Democratic
Club would be formed, the Secessionists drammed
up tbelr forces, and, .with the aid of some boys,
secured the organization. Tho ticket -men then
determined to make the Seoeders define their posi
tion. L. I. Grans, Esq., offered a resolution, wnioh
was In substance that all Democrats heretofore act
ing with the party, or who may be entitled to vote
at the next election, and who are willing to pledge
themsolves to support tho regular nominations of
the National and State Conventions, be allowed to
vote for offioers for tho permanent organisation of
the Club, and to become members thereof. This
resolution was defeated, and tbe Douglas men then
holding offioes withdrew. James H. Larrimer, ex
editor of the Republican, was elected president.
Mr. Craus was nominated for vioe president, but
promptly declined, in a speech in which ho clearly
doflned the position of the Douglas Democrats, and'
the comae they.would pursue- The Douglas men
afterwards organized a Club, and on the 21st
adopted a constitution and elected officers', as fol
lows: President. L. I. Craus, Esq.:-Vice presi

treasurer, William P. Beck; recording secretary,

who decline voting for the regular nominees should
be dropped end others substituted.
•Tbe ticket Democrats are largely in the majority
in this county, warm nnd enthusiastic in tbeir sup

Thus strengthened by the spirit of the fathers ojf

either orush you or you should crush them . T

made a speech at Gynthiaria, Kentucky, (April 7 #
1855.) That speech, reported - evidently by a
friendly pen, appeared -in the Paris (KyA State
Flag , and was copied, with the complimentary in
trodootlon of the Kentucky editor, Into the Go{>
vernment organ at Washington, (the Union,) MaV
5,1855. |
♦Previous to entering upon the support of Mr!
Breokinridge, I would suggest- that you, es ocb»
who would hold no compromise, parley, or terms
with Know-Nothingism, interrogate him
taitt passages in that speech. One of' these has all
ready been brought to his notice, but failed to elicit
a reply. It i%thus given:, t j
“It was oatural tor a man to preter those'of hil
own religious faith in voting, and hefaimself would
vote for pup of his way of thinking In religion raf
thor than for another, all other things being equal;
jast as he would vote for a native in prefererioe fo
a foreign-born eitites, other things being equal ”
Yt would be ,at least Indelicate on my part tq
enlarge on this suggestive text to you; but I briefly
submit that tbe dootrine of Mr. Breckinridge, a|
here expressed, if participated in; woold institutp
not only a discrimination .between native andnAt
taralized oltizens, bnt a denationalizing division
between native eititens'of different religions Views;
Tbe peeuliarly unfortunate* and un&eraooratio n*i
ture of Mr. Breckinridge’s statement is enhanced
by a knowledge of tbe time at which it wasuttered j
and the contemporaneous history of his State gives
it a thrilHngly sectional and proscriptive import}
ance. v . !
Let me remind you 1 that John Rowan, Esq., was
at that time solicited from eeveral quarters to be}
come tbe Democratic candidate for Governor of
Kentucky. He declined, and gave bis reasons in
a letter to the Louisville Times, sis follows* -
“I am unwilling, to peril toe fair prospects of
the party by becoming their stAndard-bcarer id
the next contest, for the simple reaikm'tnht my
wife is a Catholic. I see that a respootable Whig
paper (The Commonwealth) estimates; the num
ber of Know-Nothings in Kentuoky at fifty thou
sand ; and, ss I have been informed by good au.
thority that no maa.wbohas « Catholic wife can
be a member of that society, it is fair to preronie
that they would not vote for a man so clicum]
stsoced. If this-be true, fifty thousand cftfseni
of Kentucky would say to me,; What tttofiglrjud
are a native of Kentucky, and yonr ancestors
were among the pioneers of this talr lamd; what
though yonr grandfathers Lytle- and. Kewkfflost
tbe earnings of their livefrrtbe first by tira torcq
of tbe Indian, the lost by the money of the Conti-j
nenUl' Congress—what' though they did toil on.
fighting the Indian and’ felling the forest,
der all these difficulties educate a portion of theft
families, and that portion imt unknown or undisj
tfngulobed in the histories of Ohio, Kentuoky, ana
the nation; and what though you may be qualified
to discharge tbe high duties of' the. office yea
aspire to. we, fifty, thousand, of the poople of Ken
tuoky, living happily around our hearthstones!
won for us by the daring of suoh as you sprung
from, are determined that you shall not be .Govcr*
nor of Kentucky, Mr. Rowan, because your wife]
exercising the privilege guarantied by the Consti-j
tutlon of-the United States, -and the Constitution
of evory State in the Confederacy, to worship GotJ
as she pleases, la a Catholic It matters not to us
that the ancestors of that wife were of those who
landed with Lord Baltimore, and established the
good old colony of Maryland, (to this hour the
home of refinement and hospitality,) the first td
Invite the religionists of Christendom to cotee and
worship God according to tho dictates of their own
consofenoe.” - ■
Surely this is a vivid and scathing commentary
on.the extremos towhich polltioal proscription
may be oarried on account of the religious belief
of a man or a branch of bis family; and is a blttc ■
illustration likewise of that remorseless solicitude
for a particular church or sect avowed by Mr
Breokinridge.
But in that same Cynthiana speech, there Is auo
ther passage, which so far as I am aware, has no
boon recalled to the attention of the Vide Presi
dent It may very fitly be done by you, air, be
fore you throw tbe energy of your brain and
into the political balance for his elevation to’a still
higher office. Indeed, your reputation demands
this of you, as tnuoh as the Democratic party der
mands an explanation of the passage as recorded'.
“He (Mr. Breokinridge) here spoke of the diffif
cnlty of ascertaining what the distinctive
of the Know-Nothings were. Some principles of
which they claimed to be the sole advocates hk
also was in favor of. He was in favor of repel •
ling foreign influence in our affairs. .He would
not allow any .one to have a hand in tbe direction
of our political machinery who had not a eotnmuj
nity of interest with ourselves. In common tenth
the Democratic party , and all the patriots m ttif
land , he agreed with the Know • Nothings upon
certain which he enumerated, and
which tney arrogate to themselves as exclusive
testa.” i
This attempt to crown the Democratic party anq
“all the patriots of the land,” yourself included!
with the poison berries of Know-Notbineism, was
oertainly as effective a way of killing the forme?
in Kentucky or elsewhere a? could be suggested'.
In this passage the,'speaker seems only-intent on
disputing with Kuow-Nothipgism for the honor of
sharing those principles ana tests whioh you in
Virginia ‘denounced with snob' splendid frenzy and
fortitude, Democracy Is dragged Into It only to bb
made noticeable by the.ligbt irradiating the “ pro
jects” and ” propositions” of that party with whioh
you pledged your prowess, your patriotism, and
their reward, to hold no compromise, parley, or
terms. . }
It may be said that Mr. Breokinridge never
uttered the remarks attributed to bim by thb
friendly Kentucky editor. But, on the other hanq,
they are given to the public with every evidence of
fact, heralded by a complimentary flourish Of the
trumpet editorial, are copied into the Union , and
have never been contradicted, althongh'to the firajt
paragraph quoted above a refutation was re
quested, and tbe faot published by Mr. T. Fitoatp .
id a New York paper, April 21,1850. i
In this apparent connection of the mutual sup
port given to each other, by Kentucky Democracy
and Know-Nothinginn, another faot comes tp
mind. And that fa: the Hon.'Humphrey Mar
shall, in a speech in this city, on the night of June
25, deolared for Breokinridge in tbe hope of beinfe
able to carry out, or see oarried out, some of those
principles to wbiob he bas been so devoted. Hie
made quite a lengthy address; and having beeh
interrupted by a voice saying: “ Have you aban
doned yonr Americanism to support John Breck
inridge V* the late Representative from Louisville
thus defined his position: ;
“ Mr! Marshall. No; my principles as an Ameri
can are as warmly cherished by me as they' ever
were, and I shall always believe that the best in
terests of my country would have been
by adopting an amendment of our naturalization
laws, and limiting sufferance to citizenship every
where. I oannot make tho ,law by myself; an£
other men, calling themselves' Americans, have
abandoned that organisation.’ lam just hs much
an American at this moment as I have •verjbeen);
and all the time, as an American, I advooated, in
Congress and ont of Congress, the’identical doa
trlnes I advocate boro this night. I fcavtf a hope
that all true Americans who, .like-jne, love this
Union, will go with nje now a? they have donb
heretofore, and,’ by giving' Mr/Broohinndge f
hearty and unequivocal support, lend a helping
hand to the maintenance efr principles which lie
at tho venr bBBo of the peace and union or these
States. It may be prober, since I have been thus
questioned, that I should say here that I am not
seoking to enter the Democratic organization.”
Were Iso ieolined, these texts mighc tarnish
matter for an elaborate disquisition, but in writing
to you suon would be out of place, and my inten
tion was only to lay them betore you. I have done
so J and in conolading this little mosaic, it seems to
me that on interrogating Mr. Breokinridge on tbe
’ snbjeot, your adjuration to tbe individual voters
of Alexandria in 1855 might sot inappropriately
be repeated : “ I ask him,” you then said, “ when
he comes to tbe polls, to be true and clear in act
and conscience—not carrying before him a dark
lantern of a secret association, and gripping a De
mocrat with one band, and a Whig with the
other.” I have the honor to be. sir,
