" Pendleton wood ariser ! the west but east is opposed to him : Hev- mour wooJ do the cast, but the west is ' oppsed to him. I therefore, aftergiven the mater matoor considerashen, hev desided to propose for the poaishun the name ov Jethro K. Kippius, uv Alexander county, Illinoy. I hev the folleria reasons for insistin 03 his cemiuashen : ' 1- He's jreosra . llcs geograpinsaliy level, liy lookiu on the map, it will be seen that that county in Illinoy, is the extreme south-westerly part uv the State. It is a rsorthen county with Southern ideas. Acro'ss the river is Kentucy. west is south eastern Missour and east is lower Injreny. i They grow tobaco there, and yearn after slave lobor cz intensely ez we do across the river. 2. Nobody knows him. The name uv Jethro L. Kippins hez never filled the soundin trump uv fame. With him on our tikkit several pints wood be gain ed. On all the question? on which there i3 a doubt in the mindi uv the Democracy Jethro L. Kippins is uncommitted. He is unembarrassed with views, and on trouble some questions hez uary an opinyun. The trouble Pendleton hez with the greenbax wood not affect him, neither wood any of them other questions wich are ruthcr em barrassin than otherwise. He hez but one political principle, which he hold is enuff for any one man, and that is Ditnoc ary ez it hez bin, cz it is and cz is may be He beleeve firmly ju the cuss uv Canaan, he holds close to Ouesimus and Hagar, and hez sworn a solemn oath that no nijr ger shel ever marry a daughter uv hizzen. This noble sentiment which alluz strikes a responsive cord in cvry Democratic buzzum wood be emblazoned on the ban ner. 3. Jethro L. Kippcnse3 posishen on the war question is happy. He opposed all the steps which led to it, and when it finally broke out he proposed the only troo Demokratic way uv ttoppin it. It waz his opinyua thart wc bed no rite to coerce the South that there wuz no warrant in the Constoochcn for any sich perceedin. "Ef Doregard fires onto Major Anderson," sed he, ' let Major Anderson go afore the nearest Justice uv the l'cece and hey him bound over to keep the peace. Ef be won't keep the peecc, and the Justis can't enforce his warrants, why that ends it. We can't go beyond the Coostoochen." After hostilities actooally begun, his posi shen wuz eminently satisfactory to both fides. He wuz in favor uv the war, but opposed to its prosekooshen. He re markt that the South bed committed a indiscreshun, but were he in Congris he bu??'ent TOtc or DarJ maQ nor dollar for carry iu on a h." a2 cm.

The following confideutial letter from Chief Justice Chase to a personal friend has just been published: Washington, May 25, 1863. My Dear fcir: 1 ou are riuht in believing that I " shall never abandon the great principles for the success of which I have given my entire life." I adhere to my "old creed of equal rights," without oue jot or title of abatement. I shall be glad if the new professors of that creed adhere to it as faithfully. I am amazed by the torrent of invec tives by which I am drenched. Almost every thing alleged as fact is falsehood out of the whole cloth. Where an alle gation has a little fact in it the fact is so perverted and travestied that it becomes falsehood. I know no motive for all this except disappointment that impeachment has not thus far proved a success, coup led with a belief that I have done some thing to prcveut its beiug a success, I have not been a partisan of impeachment certainly; but I have not been a parti san on the other side. As presiding of ficer over the trial, my conscience testifies that I have been strictly impartial; and I am Euro that any one who reads the re port will say fo. Individually 1 have my convictions and opinions, but I hare very seldom given utterance to them. Indeed, I do not think that the case, in any of the aspects, has been the subject of con versation between myself and more than four or five Senators, and then only casu ally and briefly. No Senator will Bay that I sought to iufiaence him. The real ground of denunci ation is that I have not been a partisan of conviction; and this denunciation I am willing to bear. They may denounce and abuse mo and read me out of the party if they choose. I follow the old light, not the new. What the developments of the future may be I know not. I neither expect nor desire to be a candidate for-ol5cc again. It would, however, gratify me exceedingly if the Democratic party would take ground which would assure the party against all attempts to subvert the principle of universal suffrage estab lished in ciht, and to be established in all the Southern constitutions. Then, I think, the future of the great cause for which I have labored so long would Le secure, and I ehould not rogrot my ab sence from political labors. Salmon P. Chase." i. :A Home Thrust. ; A clergyman who enjoys the substan tial benefits of a fine farm .was slightly taken down a Tew days ago by his Irish plowman, who was sitting at his plow iu a field, resting his horse. The reverend gentleman, being on economist, said, with Why Did Impeachment Fail? -Mr. McClure thus writes to the Frank lin Repository : , Impeachmcdt has failed.- The closing 1 1. - : ti, failure of impeachment. The Twelve Democratic Senators were expected to1 sustain the President in all things; but 1 the forty-two Republican Senators had ! convulsed the country for three years by - i Ktrnrrcr le against what they, with one accord, pronounced the flagrant usurpa tions of the President; and only wher when the laws they had enacted had been open- .1 . .... iy ueuca, in mo laco ot ttieir repeated apd most solemn records, did the House resort to impeachment as the last hope of government and law.

Duf tho lawlessness of Andrew Johnson. fon asserted, that all four-footed animals Hut two of the recreant Republican Senators escaped the imputation of ve nality. I have not heard any one inti mate that Senators Fcsscndcn and Grimes were debauched by money. Grimes is rich and honest: but fretful, morose, and disappointed to despair. He clouded his public career by an insane effort to de tent, tllft ro.plrft Inn rf hie nfillnnnrnn Mi- Harlan, and failed. In that failure he was not merely acieatcd -nc was. over 1 4 thrown and became an easy prey to frac- tion.

Pitt Fcsscnden is the ablest of the Republican Senators, and I believe ! the oldest in service in the body. He is esteemed a pure and most sensitive gen tleman sensitive to a degree approach ing a disease. With this clement ot his organization, hi3 birth has too much to - - do. lie is the natural son of his father, ! l ; ...mi . . . ! who is still a prominent citizen of Maine, i cn eommandments, s.gned by the His mother was an accomplished member!

Both of his parents subsequently married different parties, and the father recognized and raised the son with a family of ten children, all of whom have attained a high measure of usefulness, and gaiued respect in their different spheres. Since the organization of the Republican party, Mr. Fcsscnden has hoped to become President. He was re coguized U3 the Republican leader in the Seuate, as its ablest and most honored champion, and why should he not be President?. It is the old story. Like thousands of others, ho tried to master fate, and he. fell as had all such before him. Where Lucifer had failed, Wm. Pitt Fcsscndcn hoped to triumph, and he is " one more unfortunate " to mark the desolation of ambition's tread. Trum bull is a compound of cupidity and ambi tion an able disputant, a subtle lawyer, an unscrupulous politician, and the vic tim of iuordinate selfishness and greed. Why he fell amidst the plaudits of the whisky riug, with his ever-burniug words against Johnson's usurpations still ring ing iu tho public car, the public can judge. , . Of Henderson, Ross, Fowler, and Van Winkle, one brief story tells nil. They were all corrupted some by contracts in the Iudian department more by mo ney. They had their prico and were paid it. - Hcudcrson was oue of the most earnest in resisting the encroachments of tho President, the most bitter accuser he had before the people. ; Fowler declared, but a Am months ago, that "if wc refuse to depose Andrew Johnson, the blood of tho loyal men in tho South, will rest upon our souls." Aran Winkle wrote an opinion in favor of conviction to be filed ia the case after the testimony had been concluded, and Ross voluntarily assured tho Governor of his State, who had given him hs place in the -Senate, on Friday before "the first, vote waa had, that he would : vote to convict. There can be but one explanation of such change', and the public will adjudge, and hi.story will record,, (hat they imitated Judas iu nil but the single virtue that mado him hang himself. . i : ; Economical White House-Painting'.

Infidels have objected to the size of the Ark ; have asserted that it is quite absurd to suppose that ever there could be a ves sel constructed, large enough to hold all i . ( at tlie lowest. Mo3cs states that the ark was 800 cubits long ; this would make it 450 feet long, or about the length of St. Paul's Cathedral, in London. The breadth he states to be 50 cubits; we then have it 75 feet in breadth.' He states it to be 30 cubits high ; so that it was 45 feet high. In other words, it was as long as St. Paul's Cathedral, nearly as broad. ana lialt as high lhe tonnage of the ark, according to computation of modern carpenters, mut have been 33,000 tons. The largest English ship, (of a size un imaginable to those who have never seen it) is 3500 tons burthen : so that the ark ! may be reduced to 250 pairs, and the birds to a still smaller number. On cal culating, therefore, we shall find that the ark would have held more than five times the necessary number of creatures, and more than five times the required quanti ty of food to maintain them twelve months. vciy ui a jailer .ruruuruus to ue Written by Jesus Christ. The Sau Francisco " Bulletin," of the illth of May, says one F. Wilson has an- 11 Is sa,J tlie letter was found under a earnestly, and desired that He would make known to them the meaning of this writing, that they might not attempt iu Tain to l.?r? lt oven In th meantime, came a little child and turned it over without' help, to the admiration of all the people that stood by; and under this stone was found a letter written by Jesus Christ,' which was carried to Iconium, and there published; and in it was writ answer, and also Lhs miracles, and a lull description of His person, in Sentulus's epistle to the Senate of Rome." Exca- vations are also said to have brought to light, in Syria, a Hebrew House, dating from about the secoud century before Christ. Some of the rooms are in good preservation, and among the books found is a collection of Hebrew poems, said to be unknown to preseut Orientals. Boys Using Tobacco. A strong and sensible writer says a good sharp thing, and a true one, too, for boys who use tobacco. u It has ut terly spoiled and utterly ruined thousands of boys. It tends to the softening and weakening of the bones, and it gently in jures the brain, the spinal marrow, and the whole ucrvous fluid. A boy who smokes early and frequently, or iu any way uses large quantities of tobacco, is never known to make a man of mnch en ergy, generally lacks muscular and phys ical, as well as mental power. We would particularly warn boys, who .want to be any thing in the world, to fchuu tobacco " The laws of health arc infallible; the relation between transgression and the penalty is invariable, and the infliction of the latter is certain to follow upon the former. There is nothing about which young persons arc more beguiled aud de luded, than the' belief that they can transgress natural laws and jump the penalty. Puuishmcnt for a violatiou of natural law is just as certain as that the sun itself shines, and one cannot violate a law of his body, or auy part of it, that there is Dot registered in him a penalty. Something Pithy. . . Four gentlemen a Baptist, Presby terian, Methodist aud Roman Cotholic: met by agreement to diuo on fi.-ih. Soon as grace was said, the Cathulio armed, with knife and fork, and taking about ono-third-of the fish, comprehending tho head, removed it to his plato, exclaiming aa he sat down with great self-satisfaction Fapa est cajiut ecilcsiac : tho Popo is the 'head 'of tho 'church. 1 Immediately tho Methodist arose, and helpiug himself to about one-third, embracing tho tail, seated himself, paying: Finis coronat opus: the end crowns the. work. .The Frcshyteiian now thought-it about time for him to m'bvc, and taking thc remain- der of l!ie lirsh to his plate exclaimed :J a vudia est vrrttas : truth lies between the two extremes.

Case of Suspended Animation, The Cleveland (Ohio) " Plaindealcr'1" tell the following remarkable story of a case which it says happened in that city: Some six weeks ago Miss Ellen R, bite wa3 taken ill by what was regard ed by her physicians as typhoid fever. For four weeks her condition alternatedJ from better to worse, when about two weeks since she had a severe relapse) sinking gradually until it was thought that she had died; and she was pronounc ed dead by bcV physicians, her mother alone refusing to believe her dead. Pre parations were made for her funeral, the mother all the time insisting that her daughter was alive. She was to havo been buried on Sunrday last, and bee narrow escape from the grave h th-asTe- idiuu; un Saturday, while one of the neighbors and the mother we're standing, by the side of the supposed corpse, the' door, which had been left open, blew" shut with a loud noise, which had the' effect of so acting upon the girl as to bring her to and bring her life-blood in motion. She sprang up in bed and throwing her arms around her mother's neck wept tears of joy over her escape from the. uornu ueam ot being buried alive. The young lady described her feelings during the trance, from which it appears sho fully realized all that was going on, but" her will was powerless. Her situation appears to have been one of perfect hap--pioess except when the thought of being buried alive possessed her. - A Colt with a Human Face. A colt with a human face is the latest sensation ia Lewis county, X. Y. Says the " American : " We learn that a large gray mare be longing to Robert Harrison, a farmer re siding about five miles west of La Grange, gave birth to a colt, a few days since, having a face strangely resembling tho human features divine. In every other part except the head it is not unlike any other young colt, and may be considered well formed up to its cars, where the human-like face begins. The eyes are smaller than usual and very expressive ; the nose is flat; the nostrils are thin, tho' nose having only a ridge through its cen tre. The mouth, lips, and chin are mo delled after the human form, and aro quite perfect. The colt has no teeth, which is unusual, and it cannot obtain its nourishment from the mother, but is fed milk with a spoon. Its breathing seems diffcult and hard, and it is not very ac tive, being loth to stand upon" its feet. We have given this account from the de scription furnished us by a gentleman who saw the colt on Tuesday afternoon, and numbers of our citizens are going out to see it every day. It is thought that it will not live, but if it should, arrange ments will be made to exhibit it over tha country. The Curing of Green Hides. A great many butchers, wool dealers, etc., are purchasers of the hides of the beef in the country towns, and., we oftAn get from them inquiries as to the mosl proper and profitable method of curin the hide and preparing it for the market. A great many butchers do not use proper" care iu this branch, and the consequents: is that the hides will not pass city inspec tion, owing entirely to the ignorance and carelessness of persons preparing them for market. The proper way to salt hides, is to lay them out flat, flesh sida up, and form a nearly square bed, say twelve by fifteen feet, folding in tho edges so as to make them as nearly solid as possible. Split the car in the cords that run up the ear in each one, so aa to make them lie out flat. Sprinkle tho hide with two or three shovel-fulU o5 coarse salt, as the size may require say, , for a sixty to eighty pound hide, from ten,1 to fifteen pounds of salt. At any rato cover the hides well, as it need not bo wasted; and let them lie in this from twelve to twenty days, after which tako them up, shake the salt out and use it agaiu. Shoe and Leather Htftortcr. i , A most extraordinary sea monster, a regular ringed, streaked, and striped de vil fish, was captured in Charleston har bor: on Friday, by some colored fishes men, near the wreck of the gunboat Housatonic. . Oue of tho men, feeling a bite, thought he would play his fish a while, and then draw it in; but to hia terror and dismay, aud that of his brother" fishermen, a huge monster, such as they had never before seeu, leaped iuto tho boat, and was so savage that they wcroj compelled to kill it in self defenco.
