We 'do not 'plead for men, bat for. measures, Ours is not a brotherhood to assist pereeps,,but to advance prin **lee. ;Iva do, that the organisation _of-. the • Democratic party . has been: usurped by .those-.who , have determined upon the experiment &hi:rolling' the South by an appeal to an ex. trenic:pro r slaiierY e lement , and through this els.' moit introduced into titettifrt Nation:l Demo. erotic Convention to purchase the lafrages 'of the 'Northern delegates in that Convention. , -and all this in 'UAW/ , cr theory practically 'asserting Owe the people of the Teriitories, at present, and hereafter organized, shalt have no controlnohat-' ever over the institution of slavery—we hold it to 'be t the duty of every Democrat and of all conservative men, to protest against every attempt to drive the Democratic party from 'its established principles. it is manifest that the Administration of the Federal Government bad determined to conciliate the disunion Sentiment the South, and that that sentiment eagerly re sponds to this encoUragement of the Federal Go. 'vernment, and is daily plaung itself :upon the pliitforin that, hereafter, all the powers of that Gdverninent are to be exerted far the protection of 'slavery in the Territories'; and it is also ma ngier that, in the event of thus protection being refused, AN OPEN CRUSADE WILL BE CON DUO FED ' AGAINST THE INTEGRITY OF TDB 'UNION." • • - • Thele were prophetic words. We copy Meth' from the record of- the Altoona Commit tee. ThOY net only show the motives that animated the brave men who assembled at that point on the 4th day of May, 1859;but they have been abundantly And startlingly confirmed by alLthe subsequent action of the fire-eaters Of the South, and the mercenaries of the Ad minlitration in the North. Precisely what was predicted by the radical Democracy at Altoona has transpired. The organization of the t Dethociatic party has - been usurped by the men - Whir-have appealed to' the extreme pro slayery sentiment in - the South. The theory that the people of the ' Territories shall have no.control whatever. over the. institution of slavery, has been laid down as a fundamental Democratic principle by these 111013, and the refusal of the National Democratic Convention to yield to, this theory, has led, not only to a war' upon the regular Democratic candidate for the' Presidency, but, in the langunge of the Altoona addreei t 4 ‘ so an open crusade against the integrity of the Union." well to repur, to this precedent for the purpose of marking the position of. the men whose 'conscientious consistency is now as sailed by all-those who esteenrit their duty to hound and hunt' them down. From "the heights of Altoona" came a voice not merely of, courage; but' of prophecy. The men who spoke out there were few, but they were bold and The truth they 'uttered was re sponded:to by the people in the subsequent election, and that which they anticipated was ft - lidded by the faithful followers of a corrupt Administration and by the Southern Dia unionists. ' Emery act. of that committee watt .0 a re affirmation of the. prophecy pronouneed at, Altoonamterekhaa a year ago. -The majority of the men who assembled at Cresson on Thursday were called fOr the purpose of rati fying a deliberate aasassination of the Demo crate creed, end or Its heroic chaniplon and lead Oz. The body itself had been selected with distinct reference to the work it bad to perform. Appointed by a Convention re gulated by all the, forms of the Demo cratic organization—yet sq constituted as to make the minority feeble whenever it attempted to resist an outrage upon right— proclaiming' itself to be sanctified on account of its regularity, and standing under the sate sha'ioi of Precedent, the State Central Com mittee, of which WitztOt Hi tuY %VELA!, of York county, is Dechairman, has become a mere machine for the purpose of making wrong right, and of putting forward, as the duly chosen candidate of the. Democratic party fin' President of the United States the merest effigy of dlsanfon. That which was created according to the ritual of the Democratic par ty—that which was the, offspring of the esta blished formulas of the Democratic church— that which, in other words, embodied and ex poUnded the_ Democratic liturgy in all its re gularity, and in all the• odor of usage and of custom, -was, on Thursday last, desecrated and degraded at the feet not merely of disor ganization in the Demobratic party, lint of disunion in the country itself. ' bus is it that Cresson confirms Altoona: and, thus that the irregulars, on the le;ser height of the Alleghenies, after having been 'iosalled through more than one long year by the: Administration and its janizaries, have been vindicated, not by the unsolicited forgive ness of those new rebels against the organiza tion; but by the most overwhelming fulfilment of the prophetic declaration made more than a year ago. • This last action of the State Committee speaks for itself; and would excite universal surprise' and indignation, if the manner in which that body is constituted, and the ma terials of which a majority of it is composed, were not fully appreciated by the citizens of Pennsylvania. No political organization or combination, largo or small, over more richly earned the contempt of men of every party than the controlling spirits of that committee. Their action is not only dishonest, but foolish. and their petty plans and projects to overthrow the organization of the National Democratic party, and to steal power from the people to Use ft for unworthy purposes, are as impotent and ridiculous as they are unjust and infamous. The only practical change in the original "2d 61 July" propoiltion which was made at Cresson, is one which gives the Democrats of the State an opportunity to express, by their votes, their preferencdlor DOUGLAS or DRUCK -INRIDGG. It is true, this may be to" many a source of satisfaction, as it would clearly de nionstitto the weakness of the Secession forces la,bur State. But, on the other band, if the Fusion electoral ticket should be elected, it is although by no means probable, that a contingeuey .wouldMrise under the arrange ment proposed, if it was carried out in good faith, which would sink the whole Democratic party of Pennsylvania deeper than plummet I ever simnded. • It was decided at Cresson that the electoral vote of the State should be cast for any man running 'as a Democrat whom it could elect. New, let us suppose 'that out of a total vote in Pennsylvania in Noveinber,next of 500,000, 261,090 should be polled for the Fusion elec tbral ticket, and it should ,thus bo success ful—that of the 261,000 thus polled 201,000 should be given for Do:fines, and but 50,000 for, 'plittesturtinau—thus showing that but oath-,t,titt!i et ,etir voters favored the election -41**, latter :, if the_ vote of Pennsylvania could elect the Disunion nominee, under the terms of the Cresson resolution he would re: ceive it. And, in despite of noisy partistiu professions ,of a regard for "the will of the majority," and for the right of the people to govern ,themselves, the Democracy of the State would So 'arrange their political ma chinery as to elect as President,,b - y , the elee toreq votes, of the State, a man supported by lees than one-tenth of our . voters, and opposed by morethae nine-tenths of our citizens! An set, of . perfidy like this, if by any possi bility it could be successffil, might, it is true, renew the terms of those Federal official:: Who have so basely prostituted the power they possess, but ft would tbrever seal the doom of the Democracy of Pnimaylvania,-.and -consign-them to eternal defeat. hose who toff obtuse to seethe throe of-thlir:fatal objection, to the action Of `the Cresson Committee are beyond 'the roach :dr:argument of any kind. Again: The true, and only' , honest, eourso of the State Committee, after , the secession at Baltimore, was to adopt the policy : which had always. been previously pursued—to faithfully support the regular nominees of the National Democratic party, and to _ ignore all attempts to divide and I distra i nt 'it. , „The „fusion -project of the cop mitteb, based on the delusive pretext that it wield promote' Midrib:- and harmbnY, has Only ;served to --engender -difficulty -and- dis card; 'and this ' Met - 'was 'clearly 'apparent to till who - *enabled - at Cresson. Yet whed Gen. Macaw proposed a, sensible solu tion to the whole difficulty by calling together a new Convention, through which the Demo cracy of the State could act intelligently and efficiently, and thus cut the Gordian knot of the :exjsting complications, his proposition was almost' unanimously rejected: Thus the committee has announced its unwillingness to trust the massed of the Democracy of the State with the adjudtment of their electiiral ticket, and proclaimed its determination te'chaiii' them to the Disunion car if it can do so. • One of the most remarkable features of the action of the State Committee, however, is the fact that while it is undertaking to decide bow the electors shall vote, if they are elected, a number of the firm friends of DOUGLAS on the electoral ticket very 'properly consider, and plainly, say, ,that they have quite us ;rood a right to decide how they shall cast their votes as the committee, and that they will not obey its Mandates, because they owe their first and highest .allegiance to the : nominees, of the National Democracy. Yet, Chairman WELSH announces his desire to preserve the 'eleetoral '' ticket ft unmutilated," no matter hew refractory those who compose it may become, and he is opposed to all efforts to change i', notwithstanding the diversity of opinion expressed by its respect • ive members t He goes for the ticket for the sake of the ticket, regardless of the princi ples, proclivities, or Presidential preferences of the electors I He tries to coerce those who compose it into the support of the Disunion candidate; but if they refuse, he professes a willingness to sustain them, even after such a refusal. A more ridiculous position could not well be imagined. If the people of Pennsyl vania want a composite etectoral ticket made' up of men with three or four different sets of opinions, they can form a combination fa suit themselves out of the electoral tickets of different parties, but they will instinctively revolt against any attempt of a packed com mittee to make for them such a mongrel ar rangement, and to trade and traffic in their suffrages as if they were tut merchandise to be bought and sold by political hucksters. On the very day that this second attempt was made to perfect a scheme whereby tho vote of Pennsylvania could be secured to BREORIN mos, if it could be useful to him, the friends of the latter in Maryland; at a State Conven tion, struck off from 'the regular Democratic electoral ticket of that State two gentlemen whose only offence was that they faithfully ad hered to the regular national organization of the party and to Judge Downes. Quito re cently, too, the supporters of BOEOKINEIDGE in New York held a State Convention, which nominated a full electoral ticket for the ex press and avowed purpose of preventing Judge Douotas from carrying that State in Novem ber. Is . it possible that in Pennsylvania there can be single sincere friend of the distin guished Senator from Illinois who, in view of suthaction of the Disunionists in other States, will consent to be made their blind dupes in our noble old Commonwealth 7 We think not. On the contrary, there is a universal demand among the friends of DOUGLAS for a "clean victory or a clean defeat," cud their desires will, doubtless, be gratified. A meeting of the faithful members of the State Central Committee, as well as other gentlemen associ ated with them, will be held at Harrisburg, on the 15th of August, as announced in TIIE Pave, a fbw days ago; and, we presume, they will gratify the desires and expectations of V; 11$ Female Labor-LThe School of Design One of the most important problems of tho day is to furnish honorable and lucrative em ployment to females who are compelled to rely upon the fruits of their individua nrprtions for a livelihood, but who are physically un ltted for the drudgery of ordinary housework, mid sufficiently intelligent to bosom° useful in tho higher spheres of labor if fair opportuni ies are afforded to them. Mudik is constantly !icing dune, It is true,' in the way of employing them in factories, in stores, as seamstresses, dressmakers, &c., as teachers, as authors, and even as physicians. But it is evident that their interests, as well as the general welfare f , f society, would be greatly promoted by far- tiler extension of their fields of usefulness. 'lb the energetic young men of our country hundreds of avenues to honor and affluence are always open as they approach to manhood, and they rarely fail, with proper application and industrious habits, to acquire a respecta ble and comfortable position in life, even if at the outset of their career they are pinioned by those "twin jailors of the human soul, low birth and iron fortune." But the destiny of their sisters depends mainly upon the charac ter of their matrimonial alliances, and if they should be so unfortunate as to obtain reckless and improvident husbands, or should from choice_ or necessity remain unmarried, they "re often doomed to a_ galling dependence, or to a life of almost hopeless wretchedness. Among the practical measures for aiding those who are able and willing to assist them- selves, such institutions as tho Philadelphia School of Design for Women are particularly worthy of encouragement. So Ihr as artistic knowledge is concerned, there is a constant it11:1 rapidly growing demand for it in our coun try which might be readily supplied by women, properly educated, and thus in agreeable em ployments for which they are naturally well adapted, they could earn comparatively large salaries. To a limited extent, our School of Design, though yet in its infancy, has answered this desirable end. After obtaining the pre liminary instruction it gives in drawing, paint ing, and geometry, its successful pupils have Wean taught designing, wood engraving, or print-cutting, or qualified to 'become teachers of drawing and painting in the numerous schools and academies scattered over the land. Some of its graduates are even now success- Cully pursuing . each of the avocations we have named, and obtaining for their services a much higher rate of compensation than is secured by women engaged in other pursuits. One of the chief reasons why so many fo reign goods, particularly of the more beautiful and fashionable descriptions, are imported into our country, is that we have not a sufficient number of skilful designers to gratify the ever-varying tastes and fancieS of our coun try with,new and beautiful combinations. New life and energy would be infused into many branches of our manufactures if this want could be supplied, and women properly trained can become almost, if not quite, as serviceable, in this manner, as men. There is a constant demand, also, for designs for illustrated works, and for wood •engravers, and some of• those who have received their first and only artistic instruction in the school to which we have re ferred, are profitably employed in this manner, while others have been engaged at good sala ries to impart the knowledge they have ac quired to the pupils Of distant academies. The School of Design is under the direction of a number of our most estimable citizens, Joan.'" 11.4.aaison, Esq., being its president, and P. P. MORRIS its secretary and treasurer. It has an endowment of $17,000, about $9,000 of which was given to it by that well-known philanthropist, ELLIOTT Car:soon, now de ceased. An effort will shortly be made to in crease its endowment, so that its sphere of usefulness may be enlarged. It is to be hop 94 that it will be successful. Boisterous decla mation about "woman's rights" accomplishes no•good practical purpose, but well-considered plans for increasing woman's facilities for achieving an honorable and independent position, by her own appropriate labors, de serve encouragement and a liberal support.

Bee pamphlet catalogues imued this day. THE PRESS.-PMADELPHLA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1860. The Last Plank Gone , The Louisville DeinOcrat, a Southern paper of great influence, shatters the last plank upon which the Disunionists and all other enemies of Popular Sovefeignty stand In the following short and expressive article. The Disunionists allege, that even granting that the,Democratic party had been committed to the doctrine that the people of a Territory, tclike those of a State," should vote on slavery as well as upon all other domestic institutions, and that the Teriitorial Legislatures, might 'legislate upon that question, yet that the decision of the Su preme Court in the case of Dred Scott ren dered achange of front necessary, inasmuch as that court decided that the Territorial Le gislature had tee such power, And that the peo ple of the Territory were not entitled to vote upon slavery as well as upon other local and domestic institutions. This is their present 'patent daily cry, but the words of the Louis; vine Democrat prove its absurdity: " We reply that it is utterly Wee that Douglas or any other Democrat agreed to submit to an abstract opinion of the Supreme Court. •The matter sub mitted was the nets which a Territorial Legisle taro might pass. They were to be valid or not, as the court might deolde, when a case was brought before it. " It is provided in the Kansas bill itself; and there Is not a word about submitting to any ab• street notions of, a court. The' assertion that any dbing else was submitted is utterly false ; nor was it agreed that any one should abandon his opinion because the court might decide one way or the other. The decision of the court was to be sub mitted to as usual, whether it was held to be right or wrong. No man of sense—no Demom at. at least—proposed to submtt his opinions and policy to the notions of wise men on the b'npreme bench,. ' ‘• The Democratic, party never wee guilty of such a fault, and we hope it never will be. In the Kangas bill, facilities to appeal from a Terri torial court to the Suprenie Court were provided ; and if any one felt himself aggrieved by an act of the Legislature, there was his redress. If the court said the act was invalid, then it was not to be executed; that was all. Not that the Demo eratio party was to give up Itsfudgment and rea son to the judgment of the court. The party did not do so in. the care of the alien and sedition law, nor on the case of the United State, Bank. Br both cases, the Democratic party wan right and the court wrong.

Du Oben • lu, the celebrated gorilla hunter and At rican explorer, whose remarkable collection of vrillas, and other hitherto unknown animals, has surprised and delighted the scientific soon of Now Yurk and Boston, and the eurione public for some time Though the gorilla has been known to scientific men for some ten years, from skulls and parts of ono ur two skeletons which have been brought to America and to England, Mr. Du Chattier is the first white men who has had courage and enter prise enough to bunt this ferocious monster In his native haunts. He went entirely alone—so far as white companions were coneerned—depending open the friendship of various negro kings and chiefs in whose territory he found himself. He passed four years In a region of Central Equatorial Afri ca which was never before explored, and succeed ed in penetrating to the distance of four hundred and fifty miles from the oast, discovering a num ber of new tribes, and a vast region of bithert•t unknown country, watered by navigable riven!, and affording inexhaustible supplies of ebony and India rubber, as well as beeswax, ivory, berwood, and copal gum. His accounts of the queer manners and customs of the barbarous tribes, some of whom worshipped him as a superior spirit, and his stirring stories of gorilla, leopard, buffalo, and elephant hunts will make this book the moat interesting and exalting of the season. Messrs. Harper and Bros , who know how to do justice to a good book, have got the beet artistic talent of the country to work on the illustrations, so that we may expect to see in Mr. Da Chaillu'a "Explorations and Adventures in Central Equatorial Africa," a work as credita ble to the publishers as to the bravo explorer him. self—firkin, by the way, is only waiting for the issue of hie book, to return to Africa, for another three or four years of more extended discovery, in which he hopes, if not killed on the way, to cross the con tinent at its broadest point, and thus settle for the geographers and for commerce, the condition of a most important portion of the great African con tinent, which has hitherto defied tho efforts of larger puttee. A friend of mine, speaking with Mr. Du Challlu, a few days ago, about this intended journey, said, "I suppose you will take a considorablo party of whsto man this time?" "Not at all," was the answer; "I will not have a white man with me. They all die." "But why don't you die?" " Ab,'; said the traveller, " I don't go there to die I know the elimato. I had fifty-five attacks of fever, and took twenty pounds of quinine, in four years. Now I know all about it."

Correspendenoe of The Pram] READING, Auguat 8, 1860 The regular county meeting of the Donfooraoy of Berke was held yesterday in the Court Rouse. and the large court room was jammed to its utmost eapaoity. Cm account of the existing divl, alone of the party, you may suppose this annual Convention was looked forward to with more than usual interest, on all shies. In fad, the feeling pervading those who were to participate in .it rather approached anxiety blended with doubt as to its final result. Many Rope)Roans were there as epeotators, looking for a general break-up. From the existence of two an tagonistic Demooratio ollibs—one adveioating a pure Douglas electoral ticket, the other approving of the " fusion " scheme of the Central Cnimittee—a collision was supposed to be imminent. I need not nay that onr Republican friends left the meeting sorely disappointed, for a basis of compromise had been agreed on just in time to prevent a struggle, You may recollect, in a former letter, I gave corns account of the notion of the "Demoeratio City Club" of this place, in voting down a Douglas and Johnson resolution, and " cordially approving" of the action of the State Central Committee at Phila delphia. Shortly after this occurrence a Douglas, Johnson, and Foster Club was formed, and about a week since was permanently organized. This nu cleus of an organization became at once a rallying point, meetiug with such enoouragemont that in less tbau a week it became not only strong in num berg but formidable in oharader. The "Old Club"— perhaps so called on aticourit of its inveterate fogy- Lon, though more generally denominated the " Breokinridge or FUslon" . Club—soon lost, a num ber of Lit members, and a proposition to get UP a transparency with - Douglas and Jetliner' ' on ono side and Breekinridge and Lane on the other—to be followed up, probably, with the mottoes " Slave Code" and ".Non-intervetition" on the other oppo site aides—came near produeing a general stam pede, which was however fortunately prevented by the withdrawal of the motion. These Clubs became the brace of operations of the contending parties, the "Old Club" being both backed by end backing the two newspapers of Democratic ant icedents—vis : the Adler and G.r• zette. Both these papers have hoisted the Bruit laridge and Lane flag, and are warmly advocating the "Fusion Eltotorat lioket," while the Douglas Club is without au " organ," and stands alone on the jostles of the cause in which it is engaged. But I have been digressing For enure days be fore the county meeting, intimations of oomoromise were ieniesionally throgn out by trio Breekin rldgere," nod received with some favor by the Dueglas men; but the latter suggested that no compromise need be expected which mi a .ht look to the endorsement of the State Committee's fit. etch contrivance. In !Alert, the friends of Douglas Insisted upon a liberal basis, and declared their willingness to agree to resolutions endorsing Foster and the Reeding Convention, but ignoring the Presidential question entirely for the present. As mi ht be supposed, under the oireumstances, there was a decided hanging back on the part of a number of the "Fusionists" to come up to the terms Repeated conferences were held, and the propo sition several times rejected. It was only on the morning of the meeting that some definite plan wee reached, though very reluctantly and through a great deal of pressure from the rural districts As, however, no reliable assurance had been given to the Douglas party of the terms being accepted, it was deemed prudent to arrange a programme of action for the meeting in the afternoon, to be con tingent upon a definite and just basis of compro ndae being effected, which in the hurry and ex citement attending the coming together of the meetiug were now supposed to have been done, a series of resolutions and a tolerably satisfactory list of officers having been presented for casual ex amination to several members of the Douglas Club and approved. By come fortunate accident, just before the county, meeting was organized, an in epection of the " compromise" resolutions was de manded, bat the demand only assented utter con siderable parleying, which naturally aroused sus picion. On inspection, an interlineatfon appeared, cordially pledging the Democracy of Barks to the support of the ticket formed by the Reading Convention, unless changed by regular au thority." Those to whom the resolutions had been shown in the morning, declared that the interpolation had been made since. Very soon an excitement com menced brewing from this evidence of bad faith, and bat for the earnest and repeated assurance on all sides that the matter Interlined should be stricken out, the feeling armload would have culmi nated in an explosim. In tact, a motion to amend the nomination for p resident, by striking out the name fret proposed and Inserting- another, had already been made, but was afterwards with drawn. With the understanding that all should be right, the meeting soon recovered its tenser, and the rest of the proceedings terminated harmoniously, much to the chagrin and disappointment of the Lincoln men present. Speeches were then delivered by:Hlester Clymer, E q the delegate to Charleston, General George M. Kelm, J Lawrence Getz, and A. 0 Green, Ergs , when the meeting adjourned. Not desiring to extend this communication to an unreadable length, 1 will only add that the Doug las men claim the action of the meeting as a de cided victory, while the other side appear to be equally gratified at its harmonious issue. When we consider that the Adler and Gazette have en tirely failed to receive an eraturierneut of their coerce, though firing two broadsides a week • r-a significance not to be mistak -n. it is very stain the tuition ofelm so.- p, .1.,....•,,av0a0 61.14ati, tAMPOSIC .

In yesterday's Pr,s, we published a fall account of the re-arrest of J.

(worse he took after he eEc.iped from the otliJer. It tmm that the Colonel woo rapidly driven down the " Neck " for a short distance, and the wagon WA, then turned about and driven op town at a mode rate pane. By this means the fugitive quietly sought a hiding-plates in the upper 'part of !fleetly, while the Once. thrown upon a wrong scent, were searching for him down town. Cross went to a house is the neighborhood of Columbia avenue and Broad street, where he re teamed until Sunday night, when he went to a email dwelling, occupied by a poor woman, in a small clump of houses which stand Mick from Cm lumbia avenue, between Twelfth and Thirteenth dtreets. The woman et the house, it is believed, vas entirely ignorant of the name or chasaeter oi tier attest, and oho had no suspicion that the polite murder who was to be called for the, night woo Ij lonol Cress. A home told been routed for the Colonel in an out of-the way location, and to thin lie was to have helm removed on the night of bib onoure. District Attorney Mann, who bad come up from Long Branch on receipt of intelligence of tm escape of Cross, took the matter in charge and en gineered it to a eulcessful termination. Through information received by him from parties an,, wore uotive in tracing It up, he learned of the ex act location of Cross on Thursday, and of his in tention to ebift his quarters on that night. A, the Colonel is a slippery customer, it was deemed best to " lay low" and capture him as he was about leaving tho house Accordingly, on Thursday night, the following named persons left the office of the District Attor ney in the family carriage of the latter: District At torney Mann, ox-Detective Joseph Mirkel, Delta • tive Charles H Stui.h, Mr. Benjamin Thomas. a citizen, and the following named Ohm of the Court of Quarter Sessions : Messrs. Porter, Ash ton, Barber, and Mayhew. the party divested themselves of their coats. vests, collars, , (as mentioned in Po Press yesterday,) with the view of passing themselves n ,s laboring men, to avoid suspicion as to their real character. Mr. Mann was particalarly successful in his me. tiimorphosis, and he looked as though be might have finished a bard day's work at paving the streets. Some two squares from where the fugitive was concealed, the wagon, clothing, ho , were left in charge of the coachman, while the party saun tered up to the scene of their intended operations. In front of the suspected house there to an open common, and the disguised officers lounged about hare among the Jamestown weeds, keeping a sharp eye on the houi.o and all who might approach or leave it, AN AMUSING INCIDENT ithile thus engaged an emoting incident cc currod. A man who had some exposed property in the neighborhood, and who suspected that the shirt-sleeved individuals wen, after 813 good, ordered them away. They refused to go, and he sent to the Twentieth•ward police station for aid A small party of offioers were sent up, and they ordered the men to leave under pain of being looked up. Some of them pretended to be drank, and they made that an excuse to remain about and avoid a parley. Finally the District Attorney took off his slouched hat, and facing one of the officers demanded it be knew him. 'Cho officer almost doubting the evidence of his own eyes and ears, stammered out that be bolieved it was Mr Mann. The latter assured the policeman that ho wax cox. riot in his surmise, and begged the party to with draw, as time was precious This request was, of course, oomplied with, and the nun•ptussed police men made their way back to the etutlon•house. The arrest was effieted after this in the manner de scribed in The Press of yesterday.

LIFE-SAViNG APPARATUS, ON TUN COAST OP New JOBSEIT.—PEIVATS - EaTartralaa'Pa. Go irealuteliT ItfACTIVITY,—DarIa' the , present sea son, an enterprising etuzen of this city, Geo. N. Te -1 them, Esq.:who owns. a tract of land on the coast of New Jersey, called the ‘' Erovenemile Beach," about fifteen tulles above Cape May, has, at his own expense, procured one of Holmes' life-boats, 25 feet long , by 8 feet 9 inches wide, for service in ease of wrecks occurring in the vicinity of the long, line of beach comprising his property. This de scription of life boat received very favorable men tion in a report made to the Board of Trade of Philadelphia, on the 23d r ots January, 1880, by a committee consisting of Messrs. John Welsh, S. Morris Wain, Francis R. Cope, and George N. Tatham. It was tested in the breakers at Cape May, August 21st, 1857, before a large committee of merchants, etia-captains, pilots, and others, besides hundreds of visitors at Cape Island, all of whom expressed much gratification at its per formanee. The boat was egala experimented upon on the 27th of August, i 857, by a committee of the Philadelphia Beard of Marine Underwriters, and by the Board of Marine Surveyor?, all old ship masters, who united in the strongest testimony In its favor By order of the Navy Department. one of the beats was experimented upon by the officers of the Philadelphia navy yard, who reported on the 14th of Ootober, 1857. that the result was highly itatisfaotory. On the 22d of July, 1858, the pram dents of the seven prim:dual marine insurance emapanies of Philadelphia urged upon the Treasury Department the adoption of tine ltte- boat at the sea lion houses on the oust On the 3.1 of August, 1858, the beat wan again publicly tried before a large con course of visitors at Cape Island. A (retake+e of her performance, signed by Alexander Henry, Eiq Mayor of Philadelphia, and forty-seven others. was prepared, testifying to the efficiency of the boat. In &unusually heavy surf, she was repeat edly rowed, by live men. out beyond the breakers, and there, with out using oars, she was suffered to be driven back by the eea upon the beach, which she invariably approached bow foremost, and without shipping water. It required the strenuous oxeritons of seven men to upset her in the surf, and then she instantly righted. Besides these testi menials, one Irma Captain T. J. Cram, of the Uni ted States topogreiptuttal engineers, and chief ot the primary triangulation party ou the United States coast survey, and from sufmen, boat-builders, and °there, testifying to the adaptability of the• boat to the purpose for which it was intended, were alluded to by the committee of the Board of Trade in their report. • Mr Tatham, having, full knowledge of the caps. •eides of the Holmes life-boat, after having wit- Ceased experiments with other life-boats which have been introduced to the public, and having not the slightest personal interest in any of them, fur ther than ascertaining which was the best, hut se lected the Holmes boat, ria, in his judgment, being the must serviceable. In addition to the life-boat, Mr Tatham has invented a wagon, specially de signed for the conveyance of the life-boat to painter wnere it may be needed. This wagon oonaists of four ordinary wagon wheels, held together by a beam, placed lengthwise, reaching from axle to axte. Above this is placed what Mr. '2 terms " the ways," which resemble those of a dray, from which the idea was taken. Between these two ways are placed thirteen rollers, which look like the rounds in a ladder, excepting that they re. volve. The "ways" are suspended on the hind axle of the wagon, dimity in the centre of gravity, and when the least weight Is put upon _the port projecting behind, it instantly til's over, ready to launch the boat, or to take it on the ways after It has been in use. When It is desired to take the beat on the wagon, a rope is attached to the stern,. and one Mall and a boy, turning a crank, working a cog-wheel at the front part of the f' ways," can haul up the boat 0 , .t of the water, or from the ground As soon u the beat ad vances on the rollers, beyond its centre of gravity, the ways and the bow fall down on the body of the wagon, leaving the boat in a horizontal position ' The advantage of carrying the boat on the wagon is, that it can be conveyed from poi* to point with great rapidity A pair of mules will haul the wagon and boat along the beach at the rate of ten miles an hour. This life-boat wagon is considered by Mr. Tatham to be an improvement over the English life-boat wagons, which are heavy, cum bersome affairs, requtnng a large tome of men and horses to manage them. This boat and wagon have been procured by Me. Tatham with a view to show, by comparison, how ineffielont the present U. S. lila boat stations on ,he coast of New Jersey and Long bland are, the lite-boats being exposed to the weather, and many them rotted and unfit for service. True is also the of condition of much of the other life saving appara • tun supplic d by floe Government. The Govern ment has no wagons to transport their life Loan-, and altogether their equipment is Metier to tly.t lurntshed by Mr 'Tatham at his owe expenee. abort time ago, chile the Great Eastern lay off Cape May, Mr. latham's lite-boat was driven reptilly on the e wagon , _ tram his place on Doren :ne Beach, down to Cape May, whence the life. boat was laureleed into the breakers, in presence f a large - number of epee tators, and with Mr. Tatham on board, was rowed out to the Leviathan, end after remaining a short time on board the Anceitkin,ntut .. tife- bolt. Warmed to ,Cape May, forinariee was highly gratifyinebi 7 llll Lowed it. Among those present was Miss Dix, the well kuown philanthropist, who expressed her ad miration of tan excedent qualities of the life- beat The life boat Stadoha on the coast of New Jersey AM Long Inland are represented to be' in a very 1 dilapidated coalition—the apparatus old and al ooet worthless It he alleged, also, that the wreck - ere, or those whose duty it is to see that att the ap ; names are kept in order, do not give the atten tion to their duties that they ehonla. being eppoint et' more from political coesideratiems than fron t espieity and merit There arc fitly-four of these stations, twenty-eight in New Jersey, and twenty seven' Long Island, and It is asserted that to fully one half of thin the apparatus is not seryieeebte ._„ in arse a week should occur in their vicinity Veit' matter should rteelve the early attention of •the Government °Mears before winter sets in, and wrecks occur, when there will not be time to sup. ply what is needed for the relief of the unfortunate shlpwreeked mariners and passengers.
