Tub Kartii's King. The Boston correspon
dent of the New Y"ork Tribune says:
.. "In one of my letters I gave you some ac
count of the Earth's King, discovered or rath
er identified by Lieut. Jones of the Navy as
I called him. I have since learned that the
fortunato finder of our planet's ornament is
not a Lieutenant but a Chaplain. He is the
Reverend George Jones, I believe certainly
he is the Reverend Jones. He was formerly a
clergyman at Annapolis, Md., and was appoin
ted a Chaplin in the expedition to Japan. Ey
the advice of some scientific friends he devo
ted himself during the voyage to observations
in the Zodiacal Light, a phenomenon of the
natural Victory of the Heavens which has puz
zled astronomers for a long while and of which
the only theory previous to tint of jr. Jones
was the unsatisfactory one that the Light as
a ring around the sun between the earth's orbit
and the orbit of Mars. By a series of ol sol va
tions carefully made, morning and evening,
for two or three years, in all the latitudes tra
versed on the voyage to and from Japan, Mr,
Jones has come to the conclusion, supported
by a chain ol, apparently irresistible reasoning,
that the zodiacal light is a ring around tne
earth inside of the moon's orbit, and probably
in the same piano with that orbit. It is not so
dense as the ring of Saturn apparently, though
on that point, as well as on its breadth, thick
ness and exact distance from the earth, it is
not possible at present to form a reliable
opinion."
A G.VTHEKIN'O OF THE CLASS.
Among other queer things that have sprung
out of the National Baby show, is an "enter
prize" the like of which, if sucsesfnlly carried
out, the world will never have seen before.
Several gentleman it seems, have associated
together and subscribed $100,000 to be expen
ded in getting together a "Congress of Na
tions." that is to s;iv. livinjr specimens, male
and female, of every nation on the habitable
globe, all in their native costume, except when
they are nnlt. Great caTe will be used in se
lecting the finest specimens, and wlion conve
nient, preference will be given to such persons
as play upon some instruments of music.
Such a sfudyw-JW of course never before brought
under tho eye of mortal man. The Congress
of Nations will necessarily include all the va
rious triles of Indians in the world Esojuc
maux, Japanese. Laplanders, Persians, Cir
casians, Turks' Arabs, Hotentots, Bushmen,
Cailirs, all the Asiatics, kcl, he. Some 18
months or more may be required to make the
entire collection, but interesting portions ol it,
it is thought, can be obtained at a much earli
er period. Kew Yvrk Exyress.
1X5"" Political parties in this countrv, says
the New l'ork Courier, seem now to be of all
sorts, names and sizes, and he must be very
d.iflicult to please who cannot find a banner un
der which to enrol himself. Among the pres
ent political organizations, are, the "Ameri
cans," or Know-Nothing, which has just con
structed a platform at Philadelphia. The
" Northern and Western Americans," who se
ceded from the above. The "Democratic Par
ty, '? in favor -of Pierce & Co. The " Demo
cratic Partv," opposed to Pierce iv Co. the
Whig Party." The " Know-Somethings,"
who recently assembled at Cleveland, and are
opposed to Slavery. The " Say-Nothings,"
opposed to the "Know-iNotlimgs. 7 the" Abo
litionists." The " Southern Party," recently
started in Georgia. Tho " t nends or tem
perance,". ana the " Opponents 01 a i'roinhii
ory Liquor Law Bill." There are many other
smaller organizations, but the above, wc be
lieve, show the front ranks of political parties,
as they now stand.
Gavazzi is Comixo. In compliance with a
special invitation of many influential and dis
tinguished members ot tne American party,
our worthy friend, Alexander Gavazzi, has
consented to visit once more the L uitedbtates.
and lecture in all the most important cities in
the Union. His arrivavl in New York will be
about the 5th of September next, and 'before
that time wc shall be enabled to publish the
address sent to him bv bis American friends
and admirers, giving an account of" the ar
rangements made by the proper committee.
We learn that efforts are b-ing made to secure
Castle Garden, or the Academy ot .uusic, in
order to give tho Reformer of Italy a dignified
reception.. Ills first lecture will be "JJiiienctt

Stamped: or "Old Lixkrs.'" The number
of original democrats in all parts of the coun
trv who are sovcrins their connection wit 11
the pseudo-democracy, i3 a theme of tiewspa
nor comment every where. The latest nota
bilities who have come out from the foul party
are Col. Wm. II. Polk, brother of ex-Presi
dent Polk, who is announced as the Ameri
can candidate for Congress in one of the dis
tricts of Tennessee, and Major Andrew Jack-
sov Donelson, private Secretary to President
Jackson, his adopted son anil successor at tin
Hermitage, who has recently come lefore the
nubile and renounced and rejected the Pierce
democracy as spurious aud unworthy of adhe
rence. Such as these are the immediate rep
resentatives of the "old hero," into whom it
was his prido and joy to instil principles of
mire democracy: and their desertion 01 a rot
ten cause will serve to show to what " corrup
tion modem democracy has fallen.
A Woman to be ih m. The notorious IIfn-
riktta IlOBtxsos, convicted in tho Kensealor
County Court, N. Y., of the murder of 1 mio-
thv Lanisran. is to be hung on the third of
August next. At the conclusion of her sen
tence, when the Judge commended her soul
to God's mercv, she told him he had better
pray for his own soul, declaring she. was the

victim of it political conspiracy aviucu was cal
culated to cruh a man. . She was about to

fested by the spectators.
Cool Dkcidkdly Cool! The Gern ans of
New York, who recently held a meeting-in
that city, on Sunday, denounced the American
organization as a resurrection of the dry
bonfis of the Tories of the Revolution." The
Village Record justly remarks :
" When we hear Germans applying the epi
thet of ' tory' to Americans, wo think ot tho
iteiinns who were hired by King George to
assist him to' subdue his refractory sn meets,
in the Colonies, and wonder lrsome.of those
same Germans may not be the unworthy ae-
.jcpnd ants of those identical mercenary. Hes

j.'Ct of which originated at a public meeting
recently held at Columbus, Georgia, is hearti
ly supported by most of leading Democratic
presses of the South. The New Orleans Del
ta, in the course ol a long article on the sub
ject, says :
The signs of the times are too significant to
allow of mistake or misapprehension.' and a few
persons doubt but that the organization of a South
ern party on the Georgia platform, or on some
simibir platform, must bo the reult. Within the
last few months the idea of suclf a party has been
gaining ground rapidly, and many of our ablest
men regard it as a necessary measure for self
defence." The South Carolina papers all hail the move
ment with peculiar joy. Several Southern
whig journals also seem disposed to favor the
movement. A proposition to patronise here
after no Massachusetts goods, to lay an em
bargo on the importation ol such into South
ern States, etc., is likewise heartily responded
to all through the South, many newspapers
being apparently very eager to punish Massa
chusetts. Tht-re are, however, a large body
of men in the South who are not at all dis
posed to join a sectional party, and if the
North should retaliate, the South will find it
a losing game. Sun.

Fire at Prixcktox. At about 1 o'clock on
Thursday morning, the Machine Shop Foun
dry, office of the "Princeton Press," and the
brck dwelling adjoining, were all destroyed
by lire. How the tire originated is not known;
when discovered the foundrv was on fire the
engines were not long in coming on the ground,
but various hindrances prevented them from
getting to work speedily. In the mean time
the lire had made sufficient progress to baflle
all elicits to subdue it. Eight printing press
es (old and new) were destroyed. Ihere was
not a vestago of the printing oiliee left. We
aro indebted to the kindness of i!;c McrCc?

Movement for this Presidency. We are
enabled to inform the Albany Argus that a pri
vate niectang of oilieials holding place under
the' Administration, has been held in this city
within a few days, at which it was resolved
thateverv means should be used to promote the
candidacy of the Hon. William L. Marcy for
the Presidency; at the next .National Demo
cratic Convention. In copying this informa
tion into its colums, we especially desire that
the Argus shall not omit to mention that con
trary to the universal expectation among. the
Democrats, this private meeting of Mr. Mar-
cy's friends passed no revolution again it Know

bring about "a union of the party." e know

Attempt to Raise a Chain Used in Revo
lutionary Times. Mr. Bishop, owner of Bish
op's Floating Derrick, yesterday, at West
Point, commenced the undertaking ol raising
the massive chain which under orders from
Washington, in 177S, we think, was made its
'weight being live hundred tons and strung
across the Hudson at West Point to intercept
the passage of British vessels about that place.
The chain was broken at each side a few years
after it was put up, and has remained undis
turbed since, though one or two of its massive
links were for years on exhibition at the late
Albany Museum. .The depth of the river at
the point where it lies is 12 ) feet. "Mr. Bish
op has sounded it, and satisfied himself that
he can raise it. .dlbany jirgns, J urn-1). r -'
The Wnirj Party not Dead. A man bv the
name of Gillis, as we learn from the Dayton
Ex;rcss, lately brought suit against some gen
tleman in Dayton, Ohio, for buggy lure. 1 be
defendants were tho Whig Central Committee
in Montgomery county in 18-3:5 and 1834, and
the conveyances were for. the use of that party.
All of the defendants iim-io default except one
(Mr. Smith Davidson.) who nppcarcu and filed
a motion to nsmiss in? suit on the ground
that the H?u'r Party was the proper defendant
that the s lid party was dead, and no admin
istrator had been appointed, rlie court held
that the " i big party-' was not dead, or, at
least, that tho evidence oliered was insuflicient
to show the fact.
A DiSTiscrxsHED Visiter. Edmund Lafay
ette, grandson of the Marquis Ue Lafayette,
so distinguished as the brave anil generous
champion of American Independence, has
been spending a lew days -with fhe Iu I onts,
in De!eware, who were the early friends cf the
General. In company with a few f riends, he
has visited all the places of interest in tho vi
cinity; one of his earliest visits ' being to the
scone of the battle at Chadd's Ford, in which
his ancestor first shed his blood in our cause.
The very spot upon which - the General was
standing when ho was wounded, was pointed
out by some of the old residents. Mr. Lafay
ette is about twenty-eight years of age, of fine
countenance and engaging manners.
Hoots. Tho Korlh. JJimriam, having asser
ted that the fashionable ladies of Philadelphia
aro reviving the old absurd custom of "wear
ing hoops in the bottom of their dresses," the
Worcester Trauxn iit adds the following:
"Very Well! If the ladies desire, to be nii'sr
taken lor barrels, let them; but we caution (mr
dames against the fashion. A woman is not an
original package,' and if slio insists upon aj
pearing hooped up, she must do it prepared lor
an examination bv the proper authorities, for
nothing in the shape of a barrel escapes such
scrutiny in this State, however it 111av.be in
Pennsylvania. '
Ax Important Movemknt. A movement
of solne importance has just been commenced

to the Legislature of that State. It proposes
