TUG DUELLO Of WOIIDS. Every Plug Ugly would delight in any kind of a fight. He is full of the animal instincts which ally man with the lower or der of creation. Not only may you lake Louisville, Baltimore or Washington City for an example; but the rowdy spirit can be seen in any town, eager for "a muss," and full of blood and muscle—sometimes of bad whiskey. In less refined nges this instinct delighted ill gladiatorial dis plays of personal prowess; and in coun tries where tlie animal nature is stronger than the spiritual it still takes pleasure in 8411-flgUts und performances of- that kind. Even among hot-bloods of our own the du ello is yjjt well known. Therefore we say, the restless, hot-blood which is so eager for a gladiatorial fray between Gen. Packer and Judge Wilmot does not ask it for the men tal or moral enlightening of tho public, but pimply to have a "row"—to excite passions and to iiiflamo the prejudices of fanatics and bigots. Tho history of the Crusades, of Popish gun-powder, meal-tub and Titus- Oates' plots, and of witch-burning in this country illustrate how this game is played by hypocrites and demagogues upon the passionate and the simple. Do they want cool and candid discussion? NVhy then did these Same men only three years ago load their dupes into dens of mid night darkness to take horrid oaths ol secrecy and of eternal hostility against their human brethren 1 A pretty set truly are these to nsk for public discussion now. But there has been, and there will be until the election, enough discussion to gratify them, and to enlighten the public on all the issues truly in controversy. True, there was three years ago an epi sode from the main performance to which we'have alluded. We mean the prostitu tion of a great moral principle to the gain of political gamesters. But it is quite cer tain that the Opposition candidate will not now discuss that pint, unless in the lager-1 beer saloons in a practical way to catch votes. '■ The old respectable Federal and Whig parlies prided themselves on possessing "all the decency and intelligence" of the country; but their degenerate successors prefer the drunken vulgarity of Tom Ford to the arguments of any other speaker.— Surely it would be wasting the pearls of •■■■lH I* PliaotoUa hl-lnfi' theso men, and he who cofihl gain til L'ir fl|rpluuee would -have cause for everlasting self-re proach. Take for instance a man who thinks that to yantrast Henry Clay with Seward and Johnson as "Hyperion to a Satyr" is abusing Clay, .and is it a wonder that he prefers Toftt Ford to every body else. From such an auditor a foul anecdote would gain loud applause, and reasoning fall still born. The West and South. The recent elections have gono Democratic in every Stale. Kentucky sends a Demo cratic majority to the Legislature, on joint ballot which will eeeure the election of Dem ocratic United Slates Senator in the place of Hon. John B. Thompson, who c fauns to be a Whig. Kighl of the ten Congressmen elected are Democrats, and among them is James B. Clay who is elected ill the Ash laud district.. IN ALABAMA (he whole Congressional dele gation is Democratic. MISSOURI clears Stewart, Democrat, Gov ernor by some 5,000 majority over the com bined forces of the Republicans and Know- Nothings. Clark, Democrat, is elected to Cor.greas from ibe Third District in the place of Hon. James P. Crier, who has been elect ed United Stales Senator. IN TEXAS the returns indicate that H. R. Runnels. Democrat, has bean elected by above 12,000 majority over Gen. Sain Hous ton. So far as heard, the opposition had not yet elected any candidate to the Legislature. (N NORTH CAROLINA the returns so far in dicate that the Democrats have carried the State. IN TENNESSEE tiro Democrats have elect ed seven or eight Congressmen, and the Know-Nothings two or three. The Legis lature Is Democratic, and Harris, Democrat, is elected by 10,000 majority. SULLIVAN COUNTV. —The Democratic coun ty Convention met at Laporte on the 4th. Col.

A Chestnut street jeweler was swindled out of a set of jewels' aoiouming to two hundred and fifty dollars, a few days since, in a manner so common in these times that wo wonder the act could not have been foreseen. I A 6astiy looking Jouittlwilliig Trom St. I.suls,- who was stopping at the St. Lawrence, com mitted the fraud. He called at the store, ex amined jewelry and requested that a clerk might go with him to bis room at the hotel and bring the goods with him. The swindler politely invited the clerk to be seated, while he look the goods to the ladies' parlor to show lo his wile. The clerk complied and delivered the goods to lite strange*, when the latter dissappeared in the direction of the la dies' parlor. The clerk waited for a hour, and then went to hunt up the stranger, but neither goods nor purchaser have been seen subse quently. The search of the police for the young St. Louisiun proves totally unavailing. —Easton Argits. A CHARACTERISTIC THICK.— It is slated that Wilinot hs resigned his Judgeship. We hope this is so—hut why didn't he resign sooner, so as to give the people of his dis trict an opportunity, at the ensuing October' election, of filling the office for the period of len years? The answer is easilly given. He has very little, if any, hopo ol an election to the Gubernatorial chair—consequently r.ext year, when the people are constitution ally authorized lo act, (which can only he done when the resignation lakes place three calendar months before a general election,) Wilmot will again step forwatd and be elec ted lo the Judicial office ! Had he resigned sooner, an election would have beon held (Iris year, and his successor commissioned for the full term. As it is, Governor Pollock will now appoint, which appointment holds good until after the election of 1858.

General Jdcktfon left a gold snufl box to Iba city authorities to be awarded to the individ ual, a eon of New York, who should most distinguish himself in the next war which occurred. Ever since the Mexican war, the discussion has been lively in reference to the person who deserved this special mark of merit. Various claimants have been put for ward, and a joint commitHe of Councils,have had Ihe mailer under consideration. They have at fks! reported that the box should be awarded to Major Garrett W. Dyckman, of the First Ilegiment of New Yoik Volunteers. The Committee stated (hat they would not presume to make the announcement that Major Dyckman was the bravest man in the New York Regiment, but that he possessed every other essentml requisite of a sokJier and an officer; and besides performed many acts of remarkable bravery, which distinguished him particularly from his fellov officers.— The gold box is now in the possession of Andrew Jackson, Jr., ihe adopted son of the old General, to whom it had been committed for safe keeping, and who intends to bring it to New York in person. The ptestmlalien will take place on the 1 Fill of September, and as much dignity as possiblo will be commu nicated to the occasion, by a turn out of the military, speeches, dinners, etc.— Ledger. ANOTUKK LOOPHOLE rosMm. CUWNINOIUM. Law is one of the exact sciences, arid requires mathematical certitude in each of the steps of a proceeding beforo it imposes a disquali fication or a penalty. Mrs. Cunningham, by tho hasty proceeding of the District Attorney, itas r.ol only the advantage which isanpposed to arise from not having fully consummated the crime which she had intended, but Fhe has also a chance of escape through another loophole left open by the premature proceed ing. It is contended by the legal profession that Mrs. Ctmninglianf would not come with in the statute against palming off a supposi titious heir to the property, unless it is deci ded in the Surrogate's Court that she is actu ally the wife of Dr. Burdell. In Ihe words of the statute it is essential to the crime that the child fraudulently produced should be pro duced "as the child of parents whose child would be entitled to inherit." If Mrs. Cun ningham was not married to Dr. Bordell, the child produced, supposing it to have been her own, couldtnot legitimately be the heir of the deceased, and therefore the porsonslion does not fall within the terms of the statute, which calls for Iho personation of an infant born of parents whose child tcou/d be eutitled to inherit.

They are usu ally abont four inches in diameter. In boring them it is very seldom that rock is encoun tered. The soil, (or the most part, is clay. In excavating the clay a hollow iron cylinder is employed, about three feet in length, the ower end of whiclu|jleel, and is kept sharp. In the cylinder, near the bottom, is a valve, which allows the clay, aa the instrument is driven downward, to press op into the cylin der. When this cylinder is full, it is drawn op by a windlass—the valve closing as the clay presses downward,and so retaining its load,— Attached the tQp of the cylinder is an iron rod, with the thread of a screw on the top, by means of which anoth er rod, longer or shorter, according the depth of the well, is made to connect with the cyl inder. When a rock is struck, a heavy dril] is used, operated by n machine made for lite purpose.—Ledger.

There is scarcely a subject on which ho has not written letters to the newspapers, lie is cxhaustiess in his public efforts to do good for humanity—for the slaves of the Southern States, for instance; but when the famine was in Ireland, this good soul llaughton stored his corn, kept up the price, daily speechified on the necessities of the times, and by night had to throw his corn, which had grown musty, into tlie Liffoy.— Such is tho chief weicomer of Neal Dow, to Dublin.
