J !_. -X —■ THE DUELLO UFRVOKUS. 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 take 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 l of bad whiskey. In less refined ages this instinct delighted in gladiatorial dis plays of personal prowess; and in coun tries where the animal nature is stronger than the spiritual it still takes pleasure in bull-fights and performances of that kind. Even among hot-bloods of our own the du ello is yet-well known. Therefore we say, the restless, hot-blood which is so eager for | a gladiatorial Iruy between Gen. Packer and j Judge Wilmot does not ask it for the men- j tal or moral enlightening of the public, but simply to have a "row"—to excite passions and to inflame the prejudices of fanatics and bigots. The history of the Crusades, of Popish gun-jtowder, meal-tub and Titus- Dales' plots, and of witch-burning in this country illustrate how this game is played by hypocrites and demagogues upon the passionate and the simple. Ho they want cool and candid discussion? | Why then did these same men only three years ago lead their dupes into dens of mid nlglit darkness to take horrid oaths oi secrecy and of eternal hostility against their human brethren ? A pretty set truly are these to ask for public discussion now. But there has been, and there will be iitu.il the olection, enough discussion to gratify them, and to enlighten the public on all (lie issues truly ill 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 beer saloons in a practical way to catch votes. The old respectable Federal and Whig parties 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 reason to discuss principles before those men, and he who could gain their applause would have cause lor everlasting self-re proach. Take for instance a tnan who thinks that to contrast Henry Clay with ■Seward and Johnson as "Hyperion to a Satyr" is abusing Clay, and is it a wonder that lie prefers Tom Ford to every body else. From such an auditor a foul apecdole woukl gain loud applause, and reasoning fall still born. I bc West and South. The recent elections have gone Democratic in every State. Kentucky Fends a Demo rratic mjotity 'o the' legislature, on joint ballot which will secure the election of Dem ocratic United Slates Senator in the place of Hon. John B. Thompson, who claims to be a Whig. Kight of the ten Congressmen elected arc Democrats, and among them is James B. Clay who is Olected in the Ash land district. IN ALABAMA the whole Congressional dele gation is Democratic. MISSOURI elects Stewart, Democrat, Gov ernor by some 5,000 majority over the com bined torces of the Republicans and Knnw- NotliHigs. Clark, Democrat, is elected to Congress from the Third District in the plate nf Hon. James I'. Grier, who has been elect ed United Slates Senator. IN TEXAS the relume indicate tint 11. R. Kennels. Democrat, has been elected by above 12.000 majority over Gen. Sain Hous ton.- So (ar as heard, the opposition had not yal elected any candidate to the Legislature. IN NORTH CAROLINA the reiurtiß so far in dicate that the Democrats have carried the biatc. IN TENNESSEE the 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 1 amounting to two hundred and lifty dollars, a few day6sitice, in a maimer so common in these times that we wonder the net could not have been loreseen. A flashy looking youth hailing from St. F.ouis, who was stopping at (he St. I.awrence, com mitted the fraud. He called at the store, ex amined jewelry atnl requested that a clerk might go with him to his room at the hotel and bring Ilia goods with him. The swindler politely invited the clerk to be seated, while he look the goods to liie ladies' parlor to show to his wile. The clerk complied and delivered the gooJs to the stranger, when the latter dissappeared in the direction of the la dies' parlor. The clerk wailed (or a hour, and ihen 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. Louisian proves totally unavailing. —Easton Argus. A CHARACTERISTIC THICK. —It IS Hated that Wilinot bs resigned his Judgeship. We hope this is so—but why didn't lie resign sootier, so as to give the people of his dis trict ail opportunity, at the ensuing October election, of filling the office for the period oftenyeafs! The answer is easilly given, fie has very little, if any, hope ol an election to the Gubernatorial chair—consequently r.ext year, when the people are constitution ally authorized to act, (which can only be done when the resignation lakes place three calendar months before a general election,) VVilmot will again step forward and be elec ted to the Judicial office ! Had he resigned sooner an election would have been held this year, and his successor commissioned for the full term. As it is, Governor Pollock will now appoint, which appointment holds good onlil after the election of 1858. A pretty shrewd trick on the part of the Black Republican candidate lor Governor, and alto gether characteristic of the foul parly which he represent. — Lmcatler Ltlelligcncer. ' UNITED STATES SENATORS —The Legisla tures of Tennessee, Virginia, Texas, Ken tucky and Alabama are to elect United States Senators at their next sessions. Ten nessee has to choose two. Hunter and Wise are prominent candidates in Virginia. F.x- Governor Powell, Ex-Secretary Guthrie, Hon. Geo. W. Johnson, Hon. Win. Preston, and Hon. John W. Stevenson are spoken of in Kentucky by the Democrats. Gen. Mc- Culioitgh, the Toxan Ranger, will probably be Gen. Rusk's successor from Texas. Cy The Patent Office of the United States has received three thousand applications and issued fifteen hundred patents within the last 6ix months. The income of the of fice for the same lime has been over one hundred and sixteen thousand dollars; and the expenses of the office, including somo improvements in the building, one hundred and eight thousand dollars. ty A man by the namu ol Joint Stewart, who deserted his son when a child, attempt ed lh other day to sue out a writ ol Habeas Corpus before one of the Associate Judges of Soy der county, with the view of taking the lad, now 16 years old, from bis master, to whom lie had been apprenticed at Beaver Furnace. The Judge decided that the father had uo light to the'boy. The Bravest Man Found ut Latt. General Jackson left a gold sndfl box to the city authorities to bo awarded to the individ ual, a eon of New York, who Should most distinguish himself in the neat war which occurred. Kvar 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 committee of Councils have had Ihe mailer under consideration. They have at last reported that the box should be awarded to' Major Gtrfe it W. Dyckman, of j the First Regiment of New York Volunteers. The Committee stated that they would not | presume to make the announcement that j Major Dyckman was the bravest man in the 'New York Regiment, but that lie possessed every other essential requisite of a soldier and an officer; and besides performed many acts of remarkable bravery, which distinguished him particularly from his fellow officers.— The gold box is now in the possession of Andrew Jackson, Jr., Ihe adopted sou of Ihe old General, to whom it bad been committed for safe keeping, and who intends to bring it to New York in person. The prcsenlatien will lake place on the 11th of September, and as much dignity as possible will be commu nicated to the occasion, by a turn out of tho military, speeches, dinners, etc.— Ledger. I Another I.oofholk fob Mrs. Cunningham. i Law ia one of the exact sciences,and requires mathematical certitude in each of the steps of a proceeding before it imposes ft disquali fication or a penalty. Mrs. Cunningham, by the hasty proceeding of the District Attorney, has not only the advantage which is supposed to arise from not having fully consummated the crime which she had intended, but she 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. Cunningham would not cume with in Ihe statute against palming off a supposi titious heir to the properly, unless it is deci ded in the Surrogate's Court that she is actu ally Ihe wife of Dr. Burdell. In the words of the statute it is essential to the crime that the child fraudulently produced should be pro duced "as Ihe child of parents whose child would be entitled to inherit." If Mrs. Cun uingharn was not married lo Dr. Burdell, Ihe child produced, supposing it to have been Iter own, could not legitimately be the heir of the deceased, and therefore the personation does not full within the terms of the statute, which calls for Ihe personation of an infant born of parents whose child would be entitled to inherit. CP" The matvels of Chemistry are among the wonders ol modern limes, threatening to alfr the course of commerce and to reverse tlie tide of liunißn industry. She had discov ered, it is said, a substitute for the cochineal insect in a beautiful dye producible from gu ano. She has shown tlisfa supply ol animal food may Lc obtained at a.cheaper rate, by simply boiling down the juices of the flesh of cattle now wasted and thrown aside in some regions, and imparting the extract in aßtale of concentration. And she has pointed out that one of the earths which constitute the principal material of onr globe contains a metal as light as glass, as malleable and duc tile as copper, and as little liable to rust as silver; thus possessing properties so valuable, that wlion means have been lound of separa ting Vt economically from its ore, it will be capable of superceding the metals in common use, and thus of rendering metallurgy an employment, not of certain districts only, but of every part of the earth to which science and civilization have penetrated. And these are but fragments in the history of chemical science. COUNSEL.—But few of (he reading public are aware how continually an editor-is called upon to advise his patrons on every subject, Irom politics to the breed of cattle. Through the whole range of our duties none has per plexed us more than to tell our readers what to take lor a core when thejr are sick. Hith erto this has been a severe trial to all our skill but it will not be hereafter. We have been taking, and have seen the evidence from others that have taken Doct. Ayer'e Cherry- Pectoral and Cathartic Pills. They need but a slight trial to convince the most sceptical how far they are superior to the other medi cines we have had in use. They have one single property of great importance to the sick and thai is they cu>e. — Uoslon Herald. rr A newly married couplo look up their residence in Poplar street.

The Committee on business submitted a variety of important subjects for the action of the Convention, which were received and duly considered. It was Resolved, That members of this Association will have no dealings with any advertising agent who will not promptly settle in full his accounts at the end of every quarter, for all advertisements sent within thai time, and that any advertising agent failing to com ply with these terms shall be published as being no longer our agent. Resolved, That we derm it impracticable for editors in different localities, distant from each otheq to lorm a ur.iform scale of prices, and that we, therefore, recommend that it be made a matter of local arrangement amongst editors, governing themselves, ac cording to circumstances, and in no case de viating from the terms of advertising as set forth in their respective journals. The Committee on Ilssolutions reported the following, which were unanimously adopted by the Convention. Rssolved, That believing mutual confidence and co-operation necessary to secure any practical benefit to the editorial profession, we pledge ourselves to use our best efforts, both individually and collectively, to va'.e that ypirit. Resolved, That the publication of personali ties reflecting upon the private character of a brother editor or any other individual, is derogatory to the editorial profession, and should not be countenanced. Resolved, That it is a violation of that cour tesy, which should ever characterize the ed itorial fraternity, to employ apprentices who have not served out their full term with their employer, unieea by mutual agreement, and we pledge ourselves to discourage its contin uance. Resolved, That we will not take apprentices hereafter for a shorter period than four years. Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to ex clude all advertising matter of an indelicate nature. Resolveit, That all general Laws passed by the Legislature, stpould, in the opinion of the Convention, be pubfidbed and laid before the people as fully aa'Jtoesible, immediately af ter the close of the sessions during which they were enacted, and that the cheapest and only successful mode of accomplishing this would be by the passage ol an act pro viding for the publication of all such laws in every newspaper published in tbo State, at a cost ol one hall the regular rates oi adver tising.

The Silver Cornet Rand was in attendance. t3T Artesian wells have become very gen eral throughut the West, within a few years past, especially in Wisconsin. They are usu ally abont four inches in diameter. In boring them it is very seldom that rock is encoun tered. The soil, for the most part, is clay. In excavating the clny a hollow iron cylinder is employed, about three feet in length, the ower end of which is steel, and is kept sharp. In the cylinder, near the bottom, is a valve, which allows the cluy, as the instrument is driven downward, to press up into the cylin der. When this cylinder is full, it is drawn up by a windlass—the vnlve closing as the clay presses downward,and so retaining its load—and emptied. Attached to the top of the cylinder is an iron rod, with the thread of a screw on the lop, by means of which anoth er rod, longer or shorter, according Ihe depth of the well, is made to connect with the cyl j inder. When a rock is struck, a heavy drill is used, operated by a machine made for lite purpose.— Ledger. NBAI. TOW IN DUBLIN. —NcaI Dow, the au tlior of the Maine Law, has been entertained at a public banquet in the llotumlo, Dublin, by Mr. James Haughton and othecs. This Haughton is a notorious friend of ' civiliza tion" and Abolitionism. He is a corn mer chant by profession, but philanthropy is his trade. There is scarcely a subject on which he has not written letters to the newspapers. He is exhaustless in his public efforts to do good for humanity—for the slaves of the Southern States, -foR instance; but wheu the famine was in Ireland, this good soul Haughton stored his com, kept up the priee, daily speechified on the necessities of the Umes, and by night had to throw his corn, which had grown musty, into the Liffey.— Such is the chief welcomer of Neal Dow, to Dublin.

Consequently, there is no danger of the dis ease breaking out in another place. Toe same principle applies in all eruptive and glandular affections. The Pills, which are a certain remedy for all complaints of thestftm • urh, liver, and bowels, may be beneficially used as an aperient medicine, while the oint ment is removing any external disorder.

KIMiSFORI) A SOX'S PURE OSWJBGO STARCH, (FOII THE LAUNDRV.) fIAS established a greater celebrity than lias ever been obtained by any other Starch. This has been the Jesuit of its marked su periority in quality, and its invariable uni formity. The public may be assured of the coniintf ance of the high standard now established. The production is over Twenty Tons daily, and the demand has extended throughout the whole of the United States, and to foreign countries. Working thus on a very large scale, and under a rigid system, they are able to secure a perfect and uniformity in the quality tarough out the year. This is the great Desideratum in Starch-making, and is realized now for the first time. The very best starch that can be mad 9, mot no of/ter, is always wanted by consumers, and while this will be supplied to thetn by the grocers, as soon as their customers have learned which is the best, und ask for it otherwise they would be likely to gel that article on which the largest piofit can be made. Mr. Kingsford has been engaged in the manufacture of starch continuously for the last 27 years, and during the whole of the period, the starch made under his supervis ion has been, bevond any question, the beat in the market. For the first Yl years, he had the charge ot the works ol Wm. Colgate & Co., at which period he invented the process of the manufacture of corn starch. Ask jor Kingaford's Stnrck, as Ike name Oswego has recently been taken by another fat lory. T. KINGSFOIiD & SON'S OSWEGO CORN STJIRVH, (For Puddings, l[c ,) Has obtained an equal celebrity with their Starch for the Laundry. This article is per fectly pure, and is, in every tpspect, equal to the best Bermuda Arrow-Runt, besides hav ing additional qualities which feeder it inval uable for the dessert. Potato Starch lias been extensively packew and told as Corn Staroh, and has given falsa impressions to many, as to the real merits of our Com Starch. From its great delicacy anJ purity, it is coming al-o into extensive use as a diet lot infants and invalids. E. N. KELLOGG & CO., Agents. 196 Fulton Street, N. Y.
