WESTLEY PROST,
02 FAtErilE, COUNTY
THE COINING CONVENTION.
We believe that if the Democratic party of
this county would at all times stand square up
to its own organization and principles, it
would become the predominant party here as
it is in the State at large. No party has ever
so carefully guarded the best interests of the
people, or been so prompt to come to the res..
cue when improvidence and recklessness has
endangered the public welfare. It has ever
zealously regarded the rights of property, the
safety of the citizen, and the equal rights of
all. . When its organization is guided by its
own earnest and steadfast friends, it very sel'
dom commits an error or a wrong, or fails
in the end to win the meed of public appro
bation. It is only when its councils are mis
led by the eager aspirations for office and in
dividual advantage that it loses the confidence
And respect, which are the basis of its sound
prosperity and its frequent triumphs, even in
this stronghold of the opposition elements.
A steady and sturdy adherence to its own or
ganization and principles is the only guaran
tee of success, or of continued existence.
This fact is so manifest in itself, and has been
so frequently illustrated in our past experi
ence, that it seems strange that any ono of
its active members can entertain thoughts of
surrendering its management to those who
do not profe:ss to belong to the party; who
bear it no pod will; who bitterly denounce
its principles, and who would only desirto
use it for a time, and then gladly aid in effect
ing its final dissolution.
Yet even now some are found who seem
willing to commit the :management of our
party, in some degree, to its life time enemies
—to those who have reviled it from time to
time with an energy and bitterness passing
all ordinary bounds of party spirit and ani
mosity. To consent to this is to seal the
doom of the party here.
The Convention which - is to assemble neat
Wednesday, will have a serious duty to dis
charge. It may pass what resolutions it will
on tax or other questions. It may present
what issues it will for the campaign, so long
as they are Democratic. Of such matters we
are not now speaking. But it should submit
to no disintegration of the party—no schemes
to disorganize it, either through the resolves
of the Convention itself, or through commit
tees empowered to play into the hands of
wily and covert adversaries. Almost number
less have been the efforts to break up the
Democratic organization, and scatter it as the
Opposition is scattered and broken. A noted
instance was in 1854, when a secret society
sought to give it a deadly stab, and had near
ly succeeded for a time. Are we not encoun
tering a similar peril now
What we ask of the Convention is that it
give us a brief and comprehensive old fash-
ioned Democratio platform, em hracinc livin
and present issues, and then give us a full
and fair ticket of the kind of men that will
command the greatest number of the votes of
the people. We have good men enough in
our own ranks for such a ticket, and need not
go abroad or out of the party for candidates.
And we have sense enough in our own party,
ilia hoped, to regulate its own affairs, and
have no occasion to call in the aid and wis
dom of those who, failing to secure the man
agement of their own parties, are generously
willing to assume the management of ours.
We want a straight out Democratic ticket,
representing the principles of the party and
the current sentiments of the day, and then
we want a fair and square contest a la 1855,
and we may win again, and have a party
left for State and national contests as they
rise. The party has survived the battles o
half a century, and it is as strong as ever
now, arUi may remain so, if not misled or
disorganized. We welcome the co-operation
and the votes of all who think our principles
best; or who are tired of the errors of _their
former friends. Our platform of principles
is a wide one, affording room enough for the
whole nation to stand upon. But a party so
great and strong, and that has accomplished
such great results for the prosperity of this
country, should not for a moment be reduced
from its organization and its steady course by
° the delusive hope of a temporay local advan.
tage, to be followed by an enduring and far
reaching injury. These sentiments are Dem_
ocratie, we know. This policy is the best,
beyond doubt. Give us a good Democratic
tioket and let the convention make the ticket
and not a clique, a caucus, or a committee.
Reversion Cr Land Grants to the Genera.
Government.
A decision has lately been made by the
Secretary of the Interior, which is of a good
deal of importance, and is likely to make
sometlak%_44-a...r.evolutiand. - Visrit
nosiness. ahe Se`i3reG — .ry - urciaerf sat if the
requisitions of the act making a grant be not
complied with in a seasonable time, the gov
ernment will re-open the reserved lands for
the benefit of the public. This decision, it is
stated, is applicable to all grants of land in
aid of internal improvements. This decision
was given at the instance of the Milwaukie
and La Crosse Railroad Company, which ap
plied to Secretary Thompson to ascertain
whether there was any way of obtaining titles
to the lands without the certificate of the
Governorof the State. The , Secretary decides
that the Department has no power to make
titles to the 'company except through the State,
and further that grants must revert to the
general gevernment unless the requisitions of
the act of Congress making the grant, be ful
filled within a reasonable time.
This decision may put altogether a new
face upon the land-grant business, for it is a
• notorious fact that the Legislatures of many
of the States have wholly perverted the grants
from the purposes which Congress designated,
or have neglected to use them for those pur
poses altogether.
TEE death of tho Most Rev. William Walsh
Roman Catholic Archbishop of Halifax, N. S.,

liberal sentiments had wen for him an unusual
share of popularity in his Arch-Diocese. He
was an industrious student, and was widely
known as author and translator of several relig
pus Works. •

lars in 1851, and his time is among the best on
record.
—A detective officer from Chicago, 111., fel
asleep while travelling over the Altou Railroad a
few days since, and some light fingered fellow
actually stole his boots.
—The Taunton (Mass.) Gazette says there aro
three or four sisters in that town, weighing 925
lbs., the shortest being about six feet high, and

—Wm. Alfon Butler has been chosen to deliirer
a poem before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of
Dartmouth College, nest year: Caleb Cushing
is chosen orator for the same occasion.
—The election in lowa takes place on the first
Tuesday in October, instead of the first Mon
day in August, as heretofore. Five State officers
and two members of Congress are to be elected.
The canvass is being conduoted with unwonted
activity.
—Through telegraphic communication has been
opened by the magnetic line between Baltimore
and Cincinnati. Hitherto messages had to be re
written at Wheeling. The same lino is rapidly
being completed to New Orleans.
On last Tuesday night, a colored convict,
named Nelson Bryan, died in the Maryland pen•
itentiary, after a lingering illness, from con
sumption, at the age of twenty-seven years.—
With an older brother, he was convicted of mur
der in the second degree, in the Circuit Court of
St. Mary's county, oit. the 6th of April, 1858,
and was sentencod to the penitentiary for eight
years.
—There Is a mammoth Congressional district
in Wisconsin. It is the third, which extends
from the line of Milwaukee county to Lake Su
periors and embraces twenty or more counties,
having an aggregate population of 360,000 souls,
and upward of 60,000 voters. Wisconsin will
probably have, under the next apportionment,
eight members of Congress.
—Miss Catharino Dusinger died at her resi
dence, in Hagerstown, Md., last week, iu the
83d year of her age. She lived in the house in
which she died for a period of seventy-five

calling of a Convention to remodel the State Con
stitution.
—A most extraordinary discovery, which, for
obvious reasons, is sought to bo kept a profound
secret, has taken place in an old ruined house
at Iriel. An Immense chest fuli of gold and
silver coins of English stamp, has been found
concealed in one of the cellars carefully walled
up. From the papers and documents contained
likewise in the chest, it has become evident that
the house was once inhabited by Bolingbroke
who mast have lain concealed here during the
time wherein his wherabouts has always remain
ed a puzzle to biographers and historians. In
one his letters he mentions that '• his retreat is
convenient to the Siene," and the house in ques
tion is found to possess a subterranean passage
leading down to the water's edge. The money
is evidently the result of the subscription raised
by the party of the Pretender for want of which
the latter was prevented from striking a decisive
blow.
—Memphremagog Lake, lying partly in Ver

Sir John Potter ,the snoessor of Mr. Bright
for Manchester, in the House of Commons,
weighs about 450 pounds, and is the largest
member of that boby, in describing his face the
London Illustraated Neste says:
Never since the first man was created, was
there (we are persuaded) such a diso of human
shoulders. To be apprehended it mast be seen.
It reminds us, when we look at it, of \ atria's
description of Sat ans shield, which, with the
alteration of a single word, is an admirable
picture of the face of Sir John:
.-The broad circumference
Stands on his shoulders like the moon, whose orb
Through optic glass the Tuscan artist clews!
And what a double chip he was ! why, a bird
might build her nest on that broad coign of van
tage. The only face we ever saw like Sir John's,
and that was long since, belonged to a grazier,
who once at the assizes of a country town,
planted himself one smoking hot day in front of
Judge Park, whore he sat perspiring and wiping
his face until the fretful Judge could bear the
sight no longer. Throwing down his pen, he
called out, 'Fat man, do get out of the way ;
yon make one hot to look at yon.'"
A fatter man than Sir John, has recently died
in upper Georgia. The Savanah News says ;
One of our city physicians has handed us the
following extract from a letter written to him by
a professional brother in the upper county, de•
scribing a somewhat singular case, we believe
of rare occurrence in surgical practice :
4 I nine; putin a slip to give you an instance
of death from the rapid accumulation of fat.—
We had a young man residing 18 miles from this
place who was one of the miracles of nature.
At the age, of 22 years be weighed 665 lbs.; he
continued gradually to increase in flesh until he
he reached over 600 lb's • he was able to go about
with tolerable case to himself and attended to
his planting interest. Some weeks ago he com
menced increasing in flesh very rapidly, and
gained 1i lbs. per day ; then it was found he
gained a little over two lbs. per day. Last week
he died suddenly in his chaise, I think from the
accumulation of fat around his.heart. Three
days prior to hie death he weighed 646 lbs; and
had he been weighed the day of his death, no

cs QUE.E IV OF HEARTS."
XI ILO Lancet was a gay ecquotta,
Who dwelt In rural parts;
Her wit and beauty won for her,
The title Queen of Hearts "
Of every sighing sivain that knelt,
She only made a butt ;
And countless were the gallant youths
She cruelly had cut.
Among the gents professional,
The very deuce she play'd ;
And irony victims of her friar
Were covered with a spade.
A hopeless love curtail'd their lives ;
So blaming heartless maids,
They " shuffled off this mortal coil,"
And sought the peaceful shades.
To grace the sepulchre, she sent
Young Doctor Gentian Root ;
And sent three attorrese, two divines,
One limner followed
Bat conquests tense like all things else,
Vain victors lose their power ;
The daring Queen of hearts weal trump'd
By Captain Barney Bower.
'Twas summer time, when blazing suns
All things beneath them parch ;
The Captain, with his wsrlilco troop,
Through Wagtown made a march
Against this mighty son of Mars,
Her breast she could not steel;
Right skillfully she ircrli'd the game
But Berney had the deal.
The coffers of the rich p pa,
Bold Barney held in view,
And played not for the maid atone,
But gold and diamonds tc,
The rich papa put Captain'e na-
Sal organ out of Joint ;
And did with club toward the door
Significantly point.
Henceforth the haughty Queen was doomed
To drink of sorrow's cup;
Her lover from the town made tracks,
And nevermore Gunned up.
Alone, heart-broken, euchred dame,
She pined from day to day,
A warning to ell giddy flirts,
And then she parr'd away.
Will the Ocean Telegraph Pay'
While the cable that was discharged from the
Niagara and Agamemnon after the failure of the
first attempt, was lying at Keyham, an expen
sive series of experiments was tried to ascertain
the velocity with which words could be trans
mitted through it. These experiments were con
ducted by Mr. Whitehouse, the electrician of the
Company, at an expense, we believe, of some
$lOO,OOO. The result was not encouraging to
the prospects of the company.
It appeared that but seventeen words in eight.,
teen minutes—or say a word a minute—could
be effectually transmitted. By the application,
however, of Hughes' instrument, that rate of
transmission was quadrupled. Subsequently,
according to a report then published in the Lon
don Times, Mr. Whitehouse succeeded in send
five words per minute through 'd,200 miles of ca
ble, and expected that eight words could be
transmitted with ease and certainty. Whether
the result so stated to have been attained, or
that expected to be attained, was or will be actu
ally realized, somewhat doubtful. We incline
to the belief that there his been considerable
exaggeration indulged in somewhere in regard
to these experiments. We do not think that
Mr. Whitehouse ever succeeded in sending five
words per minute through the cable at Keyham ;
and it is a question whether the submersion of
the cable at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean
will expedite or retard the passage of the electric
current.
On this will depend the answer to the ques
tion: Will the Atlantic telegraph pay?
If the average rate a transmission by the
English instruments should not exceed one word
per minute, 'then it could not at the tariff pro
posed bee. very profitable concern. Assuming
that the line was kept constantly operated for
the whole twenty-fear hours of a day, end that
the tariff of prices was a dollar per word, charg
ing for address, date, eze., the gross receipts
would only amount to $1,440 per day, or a little
over half a mil'ion a year. But as it would not
be likely to do more than half that amount of
business, the receipts would probably reach no
higher then a quartet' of a million a year, which
would leave only some $70,000 above the ioter
est of the capital invested to go towards salaries,
expenses, wear and tear, &e. So that at that
rate of transmission and that tariff, the line
would be very far from proving remunerative to
its stockholders.
If, however, by the use of the Hughes, or
6r . rument yet to be inverted, the
rate cf transmission should be as high as five
words per minute,'the gross annual receipts, at
full work, would be two millions and a half a
year, and at half work a million and a quer
ter; or, not charging for address or date, say a
million dollars a year. It is needless to say how
immense the profits to the stockholders would be,
even at the lower of these two ,00toputations,
when it is recollected that there are but two of
fices to be kept up, and that there will be no ex
pense arising out of repairs. The maximum
rate of transmission over the submarine line be
tween Europe and Africa is only four words per
minute ; and that rate can be obtained by tut
one operator. With the rest the rate is from two
and-half to three words per minute.
Should it tarn out that from the immense
pressure on the cable, or from the use of ineffi
cient instruments, bat one word per trinute can
be transmitted over the Atlantic telegraph,
then the company might see itself compelled to
fix the tariff at four or five dollars a word—no
definite arrangement having been yet made on
point. Let messages be transmitted, how
ever, at the rate of five words per minute, and
the receipts of one year will be equal to thirty
three per cent. of the capital of the oompany.

The End of the Frazer River Diania
The depopulation of California, which has
been going on ever since the beginning of the
Frazer River excitement, was too violent and
unnatural a condition of things to last. As was
to be expected, it has come to a sudden end.—
Nearly - every city and county of any size in Cal
ifornia has suffered greatly, both from the with
drawal of numbers of its population -and from
the ruinous downfall in the prices of houses and
real estate. Comparatively little was known of
the prospect for miners, the nature of the new
country or its government, or the means of ac
cess to the gold region; but notwithstanding
those drawbacks which should have delayed
prudent men, California has for three months
been subject to a depletion which has drawn off
60,000 of her population, and will leave htm•
deeds .g—them to perish from the hardships of
'ravel to the gold region, the jealousy of the In
dian tribes, the want of provisions, and the want
of money to buy the commonest necessaries of
life. One would have supposed the Californi
ans—than whom none know more intimately the
color and exaggerations that gold digging stories
take on—would be the last to be carried away
by snob an unreasonable mania. Bat they were
the first. Happily they were the first to return
to their senses.
There are now in New Caledonia, or British
Columbia, aelt will be called, many more mouths
than can bo fed by the limited supplies which
the exclusive and inadequate trade of the kind
est. Bay Company furnish, many more bodies
than can be sheltered from the coming winter's
cold by the few houses of the traders or the huts
of the Indians. For the present year emigra
tion thither is, therefore, unwise, not to say
wicked. Whoever reaches there before next
spring, will either starve himself, or make some
body else starve.
It is a remarkable fact that this sudden col
lapse of the Frazer River mania followed hard
upon news confirming the richness of the dry
diggings, and was not hastened by any adverse
news from the river-bed diggings. It is clearly
the natural and healthy reaction from a very un
natural and unhealthy excitement, which, if long
continued, would have retarded the prosperity
of California materially.
The reliable information concerning the pro
ductiveness of the Frazer River mines still con
tinues somewhat limited, and will be so until the
subsidence of the present high water. Numer
ous and very profitable dry diggings are said to
have been discovered.
An important feature of the news by this ar
rival is the large discoveries of gold in Oregon
and Washington Territories. These discoveries,
of course, are merely confirmatory of those
made eeveral years ago by Indians and the early
settlers, and only certify the opinion we have
several times expressed, that the gold producing
rezion would be found in a'greater or less degree
to %elude the territory between California and
British Columbia: With the added publicity
which they will receive at this opportune time,
and from their nearness to the Frazer River re
gion, it is more than probable that the miners
who find it imposible to sustain themselves in
that crowded section, in the lack of took and
provisions, will betake themsolies to a less oo•
oupied territory, where they may secure both at
low prices, and aid in developing the mineral
reaources and gold producing areas of our most
northern Pacific States.
In a Hot Place.
According to the following from the Louisville
.Tourna/, that city is in a fair way to receive its
punishment.' Hear it :
"Several cities boast of having the deepest
Artesian wells in the world, but the really deep
est one is in our city, and it is rapidly growing
deeper and deeper every day. A great many
varieties of earth, and as many of rook and sev
eral of water, have been reached, and if the
theory of geologists in regard to the interior of
the globe is correct, the borers may expect pret
ty soon to come to fire, which operating on the
water above will, probably generate steam to
work the machinery of the largest manufacturing
e itobliehmnet, and so save all the expense of coal.
But, possibly the imprisoned flames may rush
up with anoh force and fury as to form a volca
no, right here in our midst."
The simple of all this is, that the people there,
and a good many people elsewhere, think that
hell is the substrata of Louisville, and the Ar
tesian well people are about boring into it.—
about the time the auger goes through and the
" volcano " breaks forth, Prentice will immgine
himself the ancient Dives, crying to Lazerus for
" a drop of water," but Lasurus will send him
nothing but his favorite beverage, a bucket of old
Bourbon ! Cincinnati Enquirer.
