Neitr Public:loAlit_.
Mattsia's Lent op Toast,— r' l g . Linoon,
Roden, have published, with an In_ o • • in by the
I
,44 ) it,
Rev. Dr. Frannie Wayland, the rem 72 , e An-.
tobiography entitled " The Miff Trait In: •,'
Narrative of the Lord's Den a wi t e
Muller; written by himself ." as b ised ,
and condensed by an American a Add . reby,.
mush improved, for it was fa _ :,,tilffide 1 Wir
first road this book, some id 'arc ago ; o _
,itiV
board, on the Atlantic, and 'not exaggerate*at
it interested us nearly as mush as Robinson epee
nittlf ix
had, in our youth. Geor g e Mil:Seer, et ' yeil:
glens feeling, great benevolence, and won ' ful
faith in the efficacy of Prayer, es depicted in' ese
pages, with a simplicity which marks the writer's
character, would interest any mind accessible to
the influences of what is good and true. A Prus
sian by birth, Mr. Miller is now in his 56th year.
Be arrived in England in 1829, with the intention
of being employed In foreign parts by the London
Missionary Booiety, but changed his mind, was ad
mitted Into the Baptist Church, married, became a
preacher hi Devonshire, was often on the threshold
of Want, but always obtained relief at the time
when it was most needed. His habit wee to pray
to God, and (sometimes, on rising from his knees,)
the relief came. In 1832, he went to labor at Bris
tol, on the condition—which would by no means
enit lush worldly men as the Rev. Henry Ward
Beadier and the money-investing Joint-stook
proprietors of Plymooth Church —Hutt pew
rents should be done away with, and
Hurt the pastor and his family should
soltly depend upon the Almighty for support.
The dependence thus established by Faith, never
one* failed. Mr. Muller, It is true, did not look
for a salary of $5,000 a year, as Mr. Beecher
does. In 1834, Mr. Muller established,. at
Bristol, " The ' Scriptural Knowledge Moeda
lion for Horne and Abroad," and, at the time,
bad only one shilling in the house. The In
stitution has thriven—though, from the first dny to
the present, Mr. Muller never asked the public or
any individual for one shilling. Neither did he
publish the name of any contributor. Dr. 'Way
land says: "As necessities arose he simply laid his
case before God and asked him for all he needed,
and the supply has always been seasonable and
Unfailing." At present, on Ashley Downs, near
Bristol, the Association consists of buildings at
"which 1,150 children are clothed, fed, and edu
cated. The cost, $887,640, has been defrayed by '
contributions from all parts of the world. Ali this
time, Mr. Muller himself continues poor, though
out of debt. The narrative is brought down to
July 1580, and a very remarkable story it tells—

J. Lossing—one of the gifted men who can use pen,
pencil, and graver with equal ability. Jilt " Field-
Book of the Revolution," his Course of the Hud

and his "Mount Vernon" aro examples of this
rare union of literary and artistioal power, and
.we augur well of the merit, attraction, and success
of his forthcoming illustrated Life of Washington.
The work will be completed in two volumes, the
first of which, now before us, brings the narrative
down to the untimely death of gallant General
Montgomery, In 1775. We must defer, for the pre
sent, any extended notice of this book, having an
accumulation of new publications to write about.
We intuit decidedly object to Mr. Lossing's spell
ing: he cannot show any authority for putting
meager, not an English word, for meagre, which
is. The embellishments of this book are fine pot ,
traits, engraved on steel, of General Schuyler and
Catherine, his wife, one of the old Van Rensselaer
family, of New York State.

fixed to the present volume is a translation of the
earliest biography of Homer, attributed to Hero

Shakspeare, and coarsely anything is known about
them. Tho very existence of Homer has been
doubted, and the poems affiliated upon him given,
by some scholars, to a sort of joint stook company
of ballad-makers. The Life, by Herodotue, has
been translated, Mr. Buckley says, by Mr. Ken

translator of that curious old German book, " The
Marvellous Adventures and Rare Conceits of Mas

Trilliner, of London, and by Ticknor

of the Life of Homer, Mr. Mackenzie shows that

literature, wonderful for so young a man, and
great judgment in applying it.

Pleuro Pneumonia.
(For The Prem.)
Inasmuch as this fatal rattle epulenuc has ex
tended its destructive ravages through several
States of the Union, and is now raging with great
violence in various parts of Pennsylvania, we have
taken come pains to ascertain such fasts in relation
to this disease es may prove of value to our rural
readers. In doing so, we have availed ourselves
of the experience and observation of intelligent
gentlemen who have had the widest opportunity
for studying the disease in all its details. It may
bo remarked first, that the disease of Pleura
Pneumonia made attentive progress in this coun
try before its nature was ascertained, or any effec
tive remedies were applied to arrest it. It is an
exotic, having first made its appearance in 13oha
mta, Germany, in 1831. In 1841 and 1842 it broke
out in Bavaria and the Palatinate; In 1844 in
Russia, Ukrano, and Podoly ; in 1810 in several
prosiness of Prussia; In 1847 in the Netherlands,
Belgium, Bast Friesland and Oldenburg, and in
1850-51 in Saxony, Hanover, and Brunswick.
There are ties kinds of Pleura Pneumonia:
Ono comae upon the animal very gradually; the
other suddenly. Both are epidemic, and are con
fined to the horned cattle. Old and young, of
both sexes, are equally liable to contract it ; but
litre earns human diseases, it only attacks them
once. With regard to the fatality of this dime°,
In either form, the proper remedy must be prompt
ly and carefully applied to save the animal effected
by it. As it is highly contagious, its spread in a
neighborhood where it breaks out is usually ra
pid, and Its spread from ono country to another
bee doubtless been effected by transportation.
THE DISEASE AND ITS SYIIPTOAIS. •
Pleura Pneumanca, is a contagious inflammation
of the lunge and diaphragm, accompanied by ex
uding coagulative lymph in tho texture of the
lunge and bronobiels.
The following aro the symptoms of the disease in
its gradual form :
Ist. When it first commences, there is no fever
perceptible, but a short, weak, dry cough, espe
cially in the morning, which gradually increases,
rendering the breathing, especially the inspiration,
more difficult and lees quiet and uniform 7.he
eye becomes weak and dim, the animal languid in
Its habits, loses its appetite, ruminates slowly,
grows lean and almost ceases to milk; the hair
becomes bristling, and by placing the oar close to
the cavity of the chest, a noisy motion in the lungs
may be readily detected.
2,1. After a few weeks' progress of the disease,
fever appears; the pulse becomes quick and pal
pitating; the breathing is shortened, and per
formed with more exertion ; the cough is more
frequent and painful; the animal stands with its
forefeet widely separated, and far from its crib ;
lies down seldom and only for a short time; the
appetite and ruminating aro much affected; urinal
or excrementitious discharges are seldom made ;
the- secretion of milk is almost entirely lost;
though cows with calves in this condition rarely
miscarry.
3d. When the disease approaches its worst stage
(when death is cure quickly to ensue) the animal
avoids lying down entirely ; the pulse becomes im
perceptible, the respiration gatiping, the extremi
ties cold, and the nose discharges a thin offensive
slime. This is accompanied with a fetid diarrhcea,
and the animal at length dies from exhaustion and
suffocation.
The course of the disease in this form usually
rune from two to four weeks. If its progress is
arrested at all, it le usually in a week or two from
the obmmencoment. The signs of improvement
aro those: The cough becomes moro loose, the
appetite is restored, and an increased disposition
to ruminate it indicated ; and if the texture of the
lungs has been but slightly affected the animal at
onoo commences to regain flesh In some oases,
however, there Is RD apparent improvement which
to retarded by the exhausting efforts of breathing ;
they do not thrive at good fodder, and unless this
staeul•still improvement is remedied a relapse en
sues, and death is sure to follow in a few weeks.
LEllll3=l3
The lungs, or at least a portion of them, aro
found to be greatly increased In size, weight, and
hardness; no much so, that the epoagy structure
of the ptilmonary organs is quits imperceptible.
By making an incision fn the diseased parts they
are found to bo of. a kind of marble color, with
whitish cartilaginous stripes running through
them. The wind-pipe and branches aro compressed
and partially tilled np with coagulated matter.
The stripes are formed by the non•acting blood•
vessels and the bronchial branches. The weight
of a pair of lungs In this condition is from 15 to 25
pounds. The diaphragm, also, upon dissootion is
found to be covered inside by a brownish mass,
and the cavity of the chest frequently contains a
quantity of yellowish, clear, or muddy water. In
an- animal slaughtered when thin pulmonary epi
dernio Is in its inolpienoy, the diseased part is
sometimes found no larger than a man's fot.
Though more frequently ()entreated by °mita
glon, Plenro Pneumonia may and does sometimes
originate in other causes. Among the latter we
name the following:
1. Unfavorable weather, partioularly in spring,
whedthere la a changeable, damp atmosphere, and
the cattle get cold.
2. By feeding them for a protracted period upon
artificial fodder, as - the remainder of grains used
in brewing, etcetera
3. By feeding spoiled fodder, muddy or mouldy
hay; partially decayed bulbous roots, or turnips.
4. By their drinking unclean or foul water.
5. By too little exercise, and too much confine
ment in unclean stalls.
A far more prolific) ileum of this epidemic, how
ever, is found in its contagions character. ,The
contagious matter in this disease appears to be
a liquid form, being communicated either through
the exhalation of the breath, or the 'perspiration
of the akin to animals with which these may come
in contact. In all oases where the disease is con
tracted by contagion, the infected animal coughs
almost incessantly for some six or eight weeks,
when the above described symptoms begin to mani
fest themselves more fully. At this stage there
already exists considerable inflammation in the
lungs—enough to infest sound animals.
Tho symptoms of the disease when contracted by
oontaglon aro as folloivs :
It begins with a paroxysm of ague, accompanied
with frequent shaking of the head, twisting the
body, stamping the feet, gnashing the teeth, and
wildness of action. The warmth of the body shove
marked changes. At the beginning of the disease
the snout Is dry and hot, and n little later there
appears a tough discharge around the eyos and
nostrils. The animal (macs to ruminate, though
it may continue to eat for several days; the anent
becomes filled with slaver; on the tongue, palate,
and jaws aro formed white pustules, which burst,
coming large pima of the skin to bleed and drop
off. The animal - beeomes painfully sensitive to
pronoun about the loins, indicating the pain by
drawing tho foot together and crooking the book.
The disoharges also become aqueous, and the tail la
kept in almost constant motion. Ulcers are formed
ender the shim and the animal dies within a week
after the disease makes its confirmed appearance.
Ditzootion in theso oases shows the ttomaoh coat

It was reported a few days since, Hutt Fort

boon in charge of a sergeant and one or two men.
Such a force is thought large enough to take care
of Fort Lafayette,
Fort Sohuylor, and any and all
the other forte in the harbor. The great defences
of Fort Richmond, and the enormous work now in
process of construction on Sandy Hook, will, it is
presumed, after their completion, require no more
formidable garrisons in times of peace. Should the
Administration eonsider It politio now, or at any

Letter from Harrisburg
[dorronondenoe of The Frees.]
iIARIUSDURG, January 14, 1861
Thin afternoon was made a speoial order for the
cOnelderation of Senator Smith's resolution on the
pierent orisia in national affairs, which passed
the Senate, end has already boon published in
The Press. Au amendment was offered first by
Mr. Duffield, and subsequently by Mr. Williams,
of Allegheny. Mr. Williams said this wee the
first time ho had spoken in these Hails for twenty
years. The State of South Carolina, always tur
bulent, always disloyal save to the Britiah Crown,
had milted its parricidal hand against the Union.
There wee no danger if true to ourselves.
Some of the newepaper press and the pulpit had
taken the ground that there could be no coercion.
The President and his Cabinet had pursued the
same craven COWIN He, for one, was not disposed
to admit that this experiment of self-government
Was a failure until ire had made the effort to save
it, The South was the heel of Achilles, the only
vulnerable portion of the Confederacy. What
woe en eloo.ent of power in the politiesl govern
ment in the South in time ot peace, wee an element
of wanknesa in time o!' war. It was not the plan
ter who was raising this cry of treason ; it was a
mob; and ho conteneed that It was a refinement
'of cruelty for the National Government not to
throw its broad shield over them and their slaves,
to save them from the ruffian horde. Re called
upon the President to seize the traitors in the
capital who aro plettirg the overthrow of this Go
vernment.
It would not cost mine than the heads of a few
traitors, but if secession is permitted to go on, he
catombs of human Wigs would bo the victims.
A little whole owe °embitter' of force would do
good. Our fleets would thunder at the port of
Charleston, and if our land armies entered their
city, they might place arms in the bands of their
slaves. if he first volley fired at a mob, said the
great Napoleon, should never be with blank oar
triage—it is the true way to prevent bloodshed.
The time has now comp to crash out this monster
of • Disunion while it is yet weak and without sym
pathizers.
He denounced the Philadelphia Union meeting.
Ho said those gentlemen could not present, had
they gone in solemn procession, with ropes around
their necks and girdles of hair-cloth around their
waists, a more humiliating spectacle. Nothing
couldinduce him so to dishonor himself. How the
petty State of South Carolina would vainly strut to
bee a oity of twice her pot uNtion, and ten times
her wealth, on their knees begging for trado on
any terms It was not thus with commercial Eel
land, when her Von Trump and Do Ruyter swept
the seas with a broom, and with Tyro, which the
good book tells us whore merchants were princes,
or oven with Philadelphia in the days of Robert
Morris. We oan etiord to compromise—to eon
oede—but not now, with rebellion staring us in the
face. It would make more insolent those who are
already too insolent, and induce them to change
the programme of the °Ware. of Washington to
seizing upon Philadelphia, and perhaps oven Har
risburg.
Mr. Duffield believed that the Union could never
be preserved bye resort to arms. Let that climax
be reached, and the Union would be irretrievably
broken up. He wanted all laws of Pennsylvania,
that in any way impede the execution of the fugi
tive-slave law, unconditionally repealed. The
flat of the people of this htate bee gone . forth, end
it must be obeyed. Mr. Duffield went on farther
to showithat:a peaceful, and not a belligerent course,
was the ono calculated to bring peace to our dis
tracted country. He further said, that not a single
member of the minority party in the House but
approved of the gallant pours° pursued by Major
Anderson. Mr. D spoke at length, and quite elo
quently.
The hour for adjournment arrived before a vote
could be taken.
The pacific and oonoiliatory character of Sena
tor Seward's groat speech has alrea Iy had a deci
dedly softening influence on the radioal Republi
cans. It may be some time before they will como
to it. but you may depend upon it a spirit of con
cession and compromise it growing wry day.
The most important bill introduced »ince my
last was ono road in place by Mr. John J. Patter
eon, chairman of the Committee on Banks. It
legalizes the 'suspension ot spooks payments by the
banks, and authorizes its continuance until Feb
ruary, 11312. If some act of this kind is not passed
it will be disastrous to the industrial interesta of
the interior of the State. The banks are refusing
all farther discounts at present, from the faot that
no collections can be made by them as by the city
banks, and the manufacturing and mercantile
community are paralyzed for want of these ac
commodations. Something mutt be done, and
done quickly.
There la no Disunion feeling In the Pennsylvania
Legislature, whatever may be said of disloyalty
elsewhere. To illustrate this, let me say the
Muse to-day unanimously directed the clerk to
procure a National flag, end elevate the stars and
stripes over the domnof the Capitol whenever either
Rouse is in session. Beneath is to be placed the
coat of arms of Pennsylvania, to show, I presume,
that our idea of States rights is, the Union Brat
and the Reystoneafterwards. This idea of hang
ing out the flag is derived from the National
Congress, but it bag never before boon the custom
hero The more the glorious stars and stripes
are insulted by mad-ceps in other States, the more
will tho amid, sober, and loyal people of Penneyl
- yenta cling to them, as the mariner clings to the
Mat plank when the storm and night close around
him.
Last night an interesting ceremony took place at
Bramitz Hail, in ttis city. It was nothing more
nor less than the inauguration of Colonel' William
Diehl, a soldier of the war of 1812, as marshal of
" The Rotund," The solemnity and interest of the
occasion was increased by the presence Of Mr.
Speaker Davis; members Butler, Randall, Hellos,
Blanchard; Senators Schindlo and Blood, and a
number of reporters Captain Jacob Ziegler read
the commission from Speaker Davis, and Mr.
Frank Hutohinson invested Colonel Diehl with the
badge of office The speech of the marshal was
one of his happiest C01:1000ii0D8," showing him to
be fully aware of his exalted ~p osish." After the
ceremony, the Colonel invited his friends to a hand
some collation.

AN'tX-OPPIOIAL OPINION Or ONMEIMWSOOTT
The WashlngtonXittstritaiiin, the ex °Metal
organ of thfi Adminietration, thus admits General
',Scritt for his military care of Washington:
Who has threatened Washington? What are its
advantages in a military point of view, that the
South should be supposed to be foolish enough to
heed its possession as a place to be fought for? As
for Mr Linoolu's inauguration bore, who cares a
straw? Who proposes to meddle with him? Se
cession will not be stopped by his appearance here.
And though ho be crowned King upon the Capitol
steps, " Who's afraid?" We echo Mr. Seward's
inquiry, " Who's afraid?"
Thin talk about "protecting Washington" is
nonsense. But it is the excuse under cover of
which General Scott and his Black Republican
allies hope to gather hordes of armed Wide-
Awakes and anti-slavery volunteers at this point,
that by ono great.demonstration the South may be
frightened from its propriety 1 It our explanation
be doubted, we refer in proof to the manner in
which tbo Scott policy is - heralded and applauded
by the Block Republican journals. They know
well that without some )ustitioation this impudent
attempt to create a military dictatorship would be
indignantly hooted down ; and, therefore, they
keep up the erg that " Washington is in danger,"
and that "troops must be collected for its de•
fence." Beyond the Black Republican pale, Gen.
Scott's proceedings have no defender.
North Carolina.
THE NORTH OAROLINii FORTH
The report that Forts Mason and Caswell in
North Carolina bad been taken poseession of by
the State troops Is pronounced untrue by the WS -
mington Journal. The latter fort only hair been
seized, not by State troops, properly speaking, but
by Maims mainly of Brunswick Bounty. That a
large sympathy with these citizens exists, says the
Journal, throughout the State is certain, and it is
also certain that, oven among those who may have
thought the movement premature, there is deter
mination to sustain them if necessary. Governor
Ellis cannot, as Governor of the State, while in the
Union, officially recognize the occupation of these
forts, which is, in truth, under any view of the
case so far, only trespass, the talk about treason
and all that to the contrary notwithstanding.

.110 RE ACCIDENTS TO TEM CHARLESTON TROOPS.
The Charleston Courier of yesterday says Sid
ney Weeks, a member tf the Edgefield company,
now in that city, fell through the opening above
the entrance to the arsenal, headforemost to the
ground, producing concussion of the brain, from
which the worst results are apprehended.
A volunteer, by the name of Gray, belonging to
the same company, was wounded in the leg on
Wednesday, by a ball from a pistol that went off
accidentally in the hands of a brother soldier. The
wound, though painful, wee not considered a se
rious one.
Private W. F. Dodge, of the Waebington Artil
lery, suffered a fraoture of the right atm, in Fort
Moultrie, some days eince, by an aceident.
TRH NIBSION OF TRH BROOKLYN.
A gentleman of Charleston has received a de
spatch from Hon. Jeff. Davis, saying that he (Sena
tor Davis) was reliably informed that the Brooklyn
was sent to secure the return of the Star of the
IVest, and not to enter Charleston harbor.
TIIH BROOKLYN A' CIIARLEBTON BAR
The Charleston Mercury says :
This vossol, about which various oonjeoturos
have been entertained, appeared off this bar on
Friday afternoon last, but was not visible from the
city. She was again seen on Saturday morning,
off the Rattlesnake shoal, at which point she spoke
a schooner, and then stood off to the eastward.
She was last seen off Cape Romain, about 1 P. M.,
on Saturday, by Captain Murray, of the atearnshlp
Nashville, end was then steering about E. N. B.
It may be that she was looking for the Star of the
West, as has been reported, bat of this we have no
certain Information.
FORT SUMPTER-NEGOTIATIONS ON FOOT
The Charleston Mercury says :
" Wo understand that certain communications
have taken place between the authorities of the
State end the commander of Fort Sumpter,
which, it is hoped, may save the effusion of blood,
and secure to the State the possession of that for
tress; or which, If unsuccessful in that, are yet
the proper preliminaries to a condition of avowed
and open warfare. The precise eharaoter of those
communications, or the measures which will be
adopted in consequence thereof, of course, it will
be improper to melee public at this moment."
The Courier announoes that T. M. Matoll Nut
made a donation of $5OO to the State.
From the Mercury we learn that the Palmetto
Guards, (109 men,) Captain Middleten ; the Irioh
Volunteers, (92 men,) Captain E. Magrath, and a
detaohment of the German artillery, are now
stationed at the light•house on Morris Island They
arrived on Friday, having taken the inland route.
They are all well, and in good spirits.
The Seneca Rangers, a corps of mounted men,
armed and equipped, have tendered their services
to the Governor.
Georgia.
THE POSITION OP GEORGIA-WHAT THE CONSERVA
TIVES DEEIAND.
The Atlanta Confederacy, an ardent anti-Seces
sion journal, thus defines the position of the con
servatives in Georgia, as represented by ii V.
Johnson, A. B. Stephens, and others :
There are, unquestionably, a considerable majori
ty of moderate men, or c operationists, elected as
delegates to the State Convention. Their action
will depend upon circumstances. If the free States
give evidences of a returning sense of justice to
the aggrieved of the South, the Convention, in our
judgment, will not pass the ordinance of secession
immediately. But, if the North remains stub
born, Georgia will, as she should, secede from the
Union by the third of March. Mush depends on
the course, or action of the free States in the next
three weeks.
Tho 00-operationists are as much resolved and
determined upon a redress of grievances and a set
tlement of difficulties, as are the immediate Seoes
sioniets ; bat they prefer to do it in, and not out
out of the Union. This is simply the•diferenco
between the parties in Georgia, further than that
the immediate seeenelonists are•clamorous for dis
union, in the fear that a settlement will be made.
They want no settlement, and wail thwart it if
possible. Bat a majority of the Georgia Conven
tion will oppose all snob mad schemes, and will
save the Union, provided the North will act rightly
in the premises: It all depends on the course of
the free States.
ANOTHER COMPRO3II.9II
The Confederacy also proposes the following as
a. compromise between the North and the South:
1. To re-enact the Missouri eompromiee line and
extend it to the Paoitio, making all territory north
free, and all south slave.
2. The free States numbering at this time
eighteen, admit as States Kansas, Nebraska,
Pike's Peak, Daootah. Utah, and Washington.
This will Increase the number of free States to
twenty-four.
3. The slave States now numbering fifteen,
should be increased by making three new States
out of the territory of Texas, two out of Arizona;
three out of the Indian Reserves, and two out of
New Mexico. This will make twenty-four slave
States—exaotly the same number with the free
States. Thus the equilibrium would be restored,
and there could be no further disturbance about
the admiesion of States, and squandering of pub.
lio laude, as ;every now State should in the event
of the passage of such an not, be entitled to all the
public lands within its limits. Lot, then, the North
repeal her personal-liberty bills, and plane no
obstacles in the way of the enforcement - of the fa
gitive-slave law, and the country would soon be
restored to ite former happiness and prosperity.
But the country must expect no settlement so long
as professional politicians have control of the mat
ter.
The Convention.
The Confederacy in summing up the eleotion
returns says that the most reliable information
gives the Co-oporationists a clear majority of
twenty one in the htate Convention.

OCCUPATION OF FORT PIKE
Special Correspondence of the Delta.]
FORT Pilo, La., January 10.
MESSRS. EDITORS : You have heard, by -tele
graph, ere this, that Port Pike is taken. It is
some satisfaction to your correspondent that he
was one among - these who took the first great step
towards the independence of the great Southern
Confederation. In the darkness of night the Con
tinentals moved silently forward, and on being as
coated by the well-known commander of the fort
(Major Sosirorth) Captain Clark, In determined
words, demanded, in the name of the State, the
surrender of the' fortress. Your correspondent
minuet help expressing much sympathy for the
good and brave old commander, who, living for
years here, and feeling his very life bound up in
the old fortress, was compelled suddenly to pass
over to the State all that was dear to him by long
association. The State has thus quietly and
peaceably become the possessor of what oast the
Government much; and, judging from the present
occupants, it will be held good 'against all in
vaders. -
The condition of the fortress is perfeot, so far as
I can understand. Perfect military discipline pre
vails.

' The Senators from Arkansas have received de

seems that there are two measures pending, but
the ono which was defeated in the Senate, while

as to whether a Convention ahould be held or not.
On account of this inconsistency the bill was de

The Little Rook Gazette says : " By letters and
other means of information, we are , certain that a
large majority of the people, of all former party
associations, aro in favor of making all honorable
efforts .to preserve the Union. It is true, there
have been some demonstrations which would seem
to indicate that the sentiment of the State is not
unanimous for the Union, but they redact only a
small fraction of the public; and, from a perusal
of their resolutions, we have been impressed with
the conviction that they were not all the pure ema
nation of a people who thought they had been out
raged, but rather that they had been concocted by
certain politioians et the capital, and sent to the
counties for the purpose of being endorsed and
passed by packed caucuses, instead of the messes
of the people."

arrived from Newport Barracks, Kentucky, and

troops who appeared at the custom house arrived
from the Barracks at 3 A. M ,having marched the
entire distance.
They were during the day the subject of ludi•

anxiously through the windows and dooreto see
the military visitants. Their commandant, Lieut.

honor and courtesy, deported himself in a truly

line. The most of those who attended took a bird
along to enter the pit. There was at lest one re
presentative from the city, notwithstanding the
Democrat has denied the imputation thrown by a
Buffalo paper. A noted individual was seen to go
on board tke Falls train with an old carpet bag
which showed signs of life. Re returned without
baggage, it is sail, and the inference would be that
hie- bird was laid out. The purse offered for the.
best cook was $2OO. The affair ended in a row and a
general tight, in which some of the Canadians were
severely •beaten. The money was not given up, and
prob4blv will not be, as the game was not fairly
played out.
