j Dreams have in all ages presented to man a
subject of curious and interesting investiga
tion. Perhaps no other phenomena have at
tracted more attention, or their discussion
called forth so much metaphysical acumen.
Whether they are produced wholly by natural
fir supernatural causes, or arg the result of
both causes combined, are questions which
have divided alike the learned and the illite
rate, the philosopher and the boor. The In
ferno of Dante and the Paradise of Mahommed
Lave each opened to the gaze of the fleeper.
Terrible conceits which cause the hair to stand
on end. the cheek to pale, the eyes to start
roja their sockets and the body become para
JLzed with dread elysian scenes on which the
beholder looks with the most soothing and
pleasurable emotions or disjointed and fan
tastic images, such as eye bath not seen nor
hath it entered into the heart of man to con
ceive, and which outvie the most grotesquo
conceptions of the ancients, in turn present
themselves in dreams. Time and space are
ignored, the laws of motion and matter are
disregarded and the vagaries of the dreamer
. are bound by no rules. A day, a year, or e
veo a century may be crowded into a moment.
'The dead and the living, the past and the
-present, the distant and the near, the true and
the false, without seeming incongruity are
grouped in a tableau. Without intending to
deny that some dreams were the result of su
pernatural agency, we declare our belief that
".they generally proceed from natural causes,
and then they are frequently recollections of
scenes, incidents and thoughts of waking mo
' dents so vividly brought out, and so strange
ly combined, that they lose their identity and
appear new to the dreamer. rjreams of this
'character are tinctured .with, if not induced
'by strong emotions which weighed upon the
sleecer when awake, or the edification or
amusement. cf others, some striking dreams
' have been related oc published. , The most re
markable one which has fallen under our ob
servation was that of the editor of the Clear
field Republican, which be published last week.
Sometime since, it may be remembered, we
"'"propounded, a lew questions to the editor,
which, hedubbed "Row's Catechism.-' The
junta had several meetings, and various were
the answers suggested, but satisfactory ones
could not be framed. We had forgotten the
circumstance, but not so the editor. Row's
Catechism stuck to him like an incubus. In
the night watches, when others enjoyed sweet
" slumber, be felt that he must throw oil the
-. weight. lie thought, or so he dreamed, that
- he wan in iiis sanctum surrounded by his coun
" sellers, and there replies were framed which
'., would silence us forever, and so Btrongly was
he impressed with the reality of his dream
that it was incorporated in his last paper. We
have been amused when friends related to us
their adventures with goblins and spectres
dire in dream-land. .. We could not repress a
smile when others have spoken of the absurd
or surprising parts they have enacted, but we
laughed until our sides ached when we read the
' editor's dream. - It was evidently a repetition
of some of the sayings of the junta but such
a jumble history, biography, geography, phy
. sics and metaphysics ; theology, ethnology,
; political economy ; law, moral and divine all
thrown together with as rnnch order as a lot of
printer' pie. A regard for the health of our
.' eaders alona prevents us reprinting the arti-
cle, for we would like them to know the length
and the breadth and the depth thereof They
could then appreciate it author they will
look oh him

6H0BTEB CATECHISM LESSON III:
For Ike Editor of the "Republican' to answer.
1. If slavery is a Divino institution, would
net the same logic prove that borrowing with
no intention to return jewels and raiment, was
a!p of 'pivlne origin,' for in Ex. 3 : 21, 22,
we rgadLr "And-1 will give" this people favor
in the sight of the Egyptians.; and it snau
come to pass, that when ye go, ye shall not go
empty, but every woman shall borrow, of her
neighbor, and of her that sojonroelh in her
house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and
raiment; and ye shall put them upon your
sons and your daughters, and ye shall spoil
the Egyptians?"
2. Can you prove by any passage of the Bi
ble that God instituted a law to take the ne
gro from the juggernaut where he never was ?
3. Is Southern slavery voluntary or involun
tary ? perpetual or limited ?
4. Is any part of the ol ject of Southern sla
very to christianize negroes t .
5.. According to yonr logic, ii not the doc
trine, condemned by Paul, true : "Let us do
evil that good may come." Rom. 3:8.
6. ir slavery is such a great christianizing
institution, would it not be well to send all
the heathen, and non-professors of our own
land, into perpetual slavery ? or are negroes
sinners above all the Galileans ?
7. If the negroes in slavery are truly chris
tianized, would not Paul call them brethern,
as ho wrote to Philemon concerning Onesi
mus : ''Not now as a servant, but above a ser
vant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but
how muchaiwe unto thee, both in the flesh and
.in the Lord." Phil. 16 r.
8. At what particular time before the insti
tution of matrimony was slavery established ?
9. Does not Paul encourage sl.ives to obtain
their liberty when he says: "Art thou called
being a servant, care not for it ; bnt if thou
mayest be made free, use it rather ;" (I Cor.
7:21,) and does not the Bible say : "Thou
shalt not deliver nnto bis master the servant
which is escaped from his master unto thee ;
be shall dwell with thee, even among you, in
that place which he shall choose in one of
thy gates, where it liketh him best ; thou shalt
not oppress him;" (Dent. 23: 15, 16,) and
does not Dr. Way land particularly declare
that "domestic slavery is a violatloi of per
sonal liberty ?"
10. li "masters did not lose any slaves or
servants," how does it come that Nabal com
plains as follows : "There be many servants
now-a-days that break away every man from
his master." I Sam. 25: 10.
11. Did not Pharaoh, and all other heathen
Kings, like the Breckinridge leaders, con
tend that slavery was right and favored its
protection See Ex. 11:10, "And Moses
and Aaron did all these wonders before Pha
raoh; and the Lord harJoncd Pharaoh's heart
so that be would not let the children of Israel
go out of his land." -
12. If slavery is a Dirine institution, is not
amalgamation also ; "And Miriam and Aaron
spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian
whom he bad married, for be had married an
Ethiopian woman." Numb. 12: 1.
13. ' If slavery U "apart of God's economy,"
and lie governs ail things, must not a nation,
which is a collective body of -'creatures,"
obey 1
We believe with all our heart in the Bible
as a Divine revelation. Do you, George?
Retrenchment is Fashionable Life. A
good old Scotch proverb has it that "There is
nae great loss without some sraa' gain," which
is likely to be vended in these troublous
times'.' Orders to France for supplies in the
highest circles of fashion have it is said, un
dergone a great reduction, and the same de
gree of retrenchment is running in an equal
ratio through the descending scale of domes
tic extravagance. Low rents, and more mod
est establishments are the rage in New York
this spting; and in short, if we may credit
some accounts we see, economy is to be the
fashion for a while. This, if true, will com
pensate for much of the evils brought npon
the country by the mad spirit of secession.
A Good Suggestion. We trust the United
States will at an early day sell out their mi
ning lands in California, making adequate
provision for the equitable rights of persons
in possession, and apply the proceeds sacred
ly to the construction of the California section
of the Pacific Railroad. We believe such a
disposal of them would subserve the interest,
alike of landowners, miners, the State, and
her whole people, while giving an impetus to
the great enterprise of our age.
Mr. Corwis's mission to Mexico, will do
much to strengthen and confirm the liberal
government, now apparently established in that
lately distracted country. Freedom of reli
gion and of political opinion, combined with
security of person and property, will draw to
it thousands of enterprising men from this and
other countries, and thus inaugurate an era
of prosperity, and render nugatory all attempts
at filibustering on the part of our ambitious
friends of the Gulf States.
In referring to the appointment of M. A.
Frank, Esq., as Postmaster, the editor of the
Clearfield Republican, concludes as follows :
"If wa could muster up brass enough, we
would turn too, as we would undoubtedly get
an office from the present administration."
Scarcely necessary to state that. Every
body knows that the prospect of "office" is
all that makes the editor of the Republican a
Democrat.
Hero is a little speech which Mr. Pren
tice made a few evenings since at Louisville :
"Gentlemen, let us preserve the Union against
all influences, against all treachery, against all
treason. I am getting to be an otd man, but
I will fight for the Union, and 1 will die for
the Union. Kentnckians, I will live and die
in no Northern Confedericy, in no Southern
Confederacy but here where I am now, in
Kentucky, and in the Union."
"The rail splitter's axe has already been felt
in Clearfield. On Thursday last, it was ascer
tained that the head ol friend Chaiiy Watson,
our P. M., had quietly dropped into the Re
publican basket." Clearfield Rep., March 20.

. STJMJfABY OF NEWS. .
Naval. The secretary of the Navy has
summoned Commodore Stringham here on
special duty, for the purpose of ordering and
detailing the officers, directing the recruits,
arranging the completement ot ships, and di
recting other matters relating to the efficiency
and dicipline of the service. This movement
is considered very judicious, as it fixes the re
sponsibility upon an officer of acknowledged
worth, of regulating a delicate part of the ser
vice with which no new Secretary could pos
sibly be familiar. The duty has heretofore
been discharged through the Chief Clerk,
much to the dissatisfaction of the Navy. An
attempt was made at the last Session to create
an Assistant Secretary but failed- Mr. Welles
has supplied the deficiency without increased
cost, and with equal advantage. His adminis
tration, thus far, has been very satisfactory,
and he has earned the reputation of a practi
cal and straight forward Secretary.
North Carolina. With reference to the
recent election ia that State, The Xorlh. Caro
Una Standard says: The truth is, the Union
ists in the late campaign triumphed alike over
treason, passion, fraud, and lalshood. The
people, on the 28th of February, dealt the
conspirators against the Union of the States,
and . against the rights, the interests and the
safety of North Carolina, a mortal blow. The
beast of disunion was wounded onto death,
but he still has. power as he writhes in bis final
aony. Let us finish him. Let the people
set their mark on tke agitators and disturttcrs
of the peace. ,. Let the good work of crushing
out the Yanceyites go on. Let them attempt,
if they dare, to inaugurate a revolution in
North Carolina. The people have spoken,
and it becomes conspirators to hide their
beads. When the eagle is abroad let the bats
and owls retire to their boles.
Recent Discoveries. In England, consid
erable excitemant has been created among nat
uralists and geographers by the startling dis
coveries recently made in Central Africa, by
a gentleman now in London. Mr. Chuylion,
a gentleman of mixed French and American
blood, who, availing himself of the facilities
given bv bis position as son of a consular offi
cer, near the Gaboon river, has penetrate!
across the African continent on the line of the
equator, and has there discovered, in a dense
ly wooded region, a range of lofty mountains
(one peak calculated by him at 12.000 feet,)
which contain, according to his conviction,
tho sources of the four great rivers of the Af
rican continent, the Nile, the Niger, the Zam
besi and the Zaire or Congo.
Reconstruction Impossible. The .lunsla
(Ga.) Constitutionalist relieves itself of the
following, to prove that no reconstruction of
the Union can tako place : Wise men cannot
be deceived twice by the same trick. A com
plete change of all things must take place
first.' The climate must change from its ge
nial and glowing warmth to hyperborean dark
ness and iciness. The sun will have to go
back through seven signs of the Zodiac to its
original starting point : and, greatest change
of all the character of the Southern citizen
must change, to answer to the change of cli
mate. All this must be befote we can return
to a union with those whose love is ruin, and
whose embrace is death.
More Coercion. This is a good hit from
the Cincinnati Commercial : "The Southern
heart, as appears from the secession sheets, is
likely to be fired by the evacuation of Fort
auniter. Evacuation is considered synony
mous with coercion. The fire-eaters say the
object ot the Administration is to give op Fort
Sumter, in order tC strike the South in some
vulnerable place. Is there anything that wouid
not fire the Southern heart ? We suppose the
resignation of Mr. Lincoln, or the announce
ment that he stood on the Breckinridge plat
form, would be considered a plot lookirg to
coercion. In such a case could the border
States be induced to remain in the Union f "
Gcns for Tits South. The "Tredegar"
Works of Richmond are driving a busy and
thriving traffic with the seceded States which
derive their supplies of heavy cannon, ord
nance &c, almost exclusively from that
source. In addition to the scores of "Colum
biads" which have been sent from that cele
brated foundry to South Carolina and Ala
bama, we notice the passage through Atlanta,
on Thursday night last, of six 6-inch Colum
biads en route to Savannah. The Atlanta
Confederacy says they complete tho first in
stallment of seventy-five similar guns of dif-"
ferent caliber, ordered by the States of Geor
gia and Alabama.
Seizure ?f the Guthrie. The Washing
ton Star characterizes the late seizure of the
light-house supply vessel in Galveston harbor,
as "another great achievment of the oligar
chy," and says : "The Guthrie was on a mis
sion of peace, mercy, humanity and charity.
Filled with supplies of oil. &c, purchased and
paid for by the United States, to be distribu
ted to the lights on the Southern coast, to pre
vent their extinction during the ensuing year,
and without which supplies they must at an
early period be extinguished, and thereby
cause great loss of life and property in the
navigation of that coast." ' ,
Maryland and the Union." -The Baltimore
Clipper has the lollowiug- "We take pleas
ure in assuring our Philadelphia cotemporary
that the Union spirit not only lives but im
measurably predominates in Maryland. Peo
ple of all parties here have grown weary and
sick of the political or paitisan agitation
which has precipitated ruin upon our,country,
and brought misery, bankruptcy, idleness
we had almost said beggary to their once
happy homes. The sovereign people are de
termining to assert their rightful mastery
over those who lead them astray, and will do
it though the heavens fall.
Patriotic. Tears. At Willard's, Washing
ton, the other evening, a lady was seated at
the piano, singing. General Wool, wearing
bis button, asked her to sing the Star Spangled
Banner. She did it with admirable effect.
The General stood beside her with the tears
running down his ohceks, and as ho turned to
dash them from eyes that never quailed before
his country's foes on the field of battle, the
parlor rang with the applause the song and the
scene so well merited.
The "Palmetto" at a Discount in Call
forma. On tho 10th ult. a vessel was haul
ing out from a wharf at San Francisco, Cal.,
and hoisted the Palmetto flag. A crowd in
stantly assembled on the wharf, and by a well
directed fire of potatoes compelled the would
be secessionists not only to haul down the ob
noxious colors, but to hoist the "Stars and
Stripes" in their place. The new fortifications
at Fort Point are now occupied by United
States troops.
Tehuantepeo to be seized. The design of
the secessionists is to seize upon the Isthmus
of Tehuantepeo. if possible,, under the pre
tended grant which Mr. Benjamin proem ed
through Mr. Buchanan's influence. They in
tend, also, tomake a demonstration upon the
provinces across the Rio Grande, and those
in the North. This scheme was concocted a
year ago, as part of the disunion conspiracy.
Interesting from Japan. As an indication
of the revolution going on in that country, we
may mention tho fact that Hen. Townsend
Harris, our minister to'Japan, by a proclama
tion, called upon American citizens to observe
tho-23th of November as a day of Thanksgiv
ing, the first occasion of. the eort, doubtless,
ever observed in those islands.
THE POLICY OF MB. LINCOLN. .
The home organ of the new President, the
Springfield Journal, says that Mr. Lincoln ia
determined to exhanst all honorable means to
bring about a peaceful solution of our Nation
al troubles, and, in so doing, he is weakening
the strengthot theeneray and adding immense
ly to bis own. It a resort to the sword shall
ever hecome necessary to sustain the Govern
ment it will be ho. fault of his, ifihe respon
sibility shall not clearly rest Hpoo the ene
mies of the Union. Mr. Lincoln is peculiar
ly situated. He comes into possession of the
reins of Government at a time when Floyd,
Cobb and others have depleted the Federal
treasury transported to the South the major
part ot the arms aim munitions ot war sent
todiataBt seas the Federal navy sent reve
nue cutters where the traitors could easily
seize them through tho treason of those who
commanded them and left the most of the
forts of the South in the command of tiaitors,
chief among whom is Twiggs. He succeeds a
President who permitted the siege against
Sumter to go on until reinforcement of that
fort has become almost impossible. He finds
seven Slates pre'er.ding to be c-.t cf The U
nion and arrayed'in open rebellion against the
Federal Government, with a President, Cabi
net. Congress, an array, etc. He finds the
border slave States talking of seceding, and
he finds in the Northern States a pi'ty
of men sympathising with treason. These are
the discouraging circumstances under which
he goos into power. It is his purpose to pre
serve this Government, peaceably if he can,
forcibly if he must. All honorable and peace
able means will be resorted to, and it they fail,
then comes the other alternative. Ppcd is
infinitely preferable to warif it can be obtain
ed honorably; and we are satisfied that Mr.
Lincoln is determined to pursue a peace pol
icy as far as he can do so with honor to the
Government. The evacuation of Sumter,
however, must not be construed into a peace
tiering to treason, but as a . measure made
necessary by the treachery of Buchanan., It
is understood that Gen. Scott advises the evac
uation ot this fortress as a, grand stroke of
slruicgy. Uili'.r alwjjs extremely distasteiui
to the friends of the Union, Mr. Lincoln may
find it necessary to take, owing to .Uv condi
tion in which Buchanan left the country. For
tunately, the great majority ol the true friends
of Union have unbounded confidence in tho
honesty, patriotism and firmness of the Presi
dent. What he and his Cabinet decide to do,
the country will, for the most part, believe
best to be done, for he and they are in a posi
tion where they can better understand the true
situation df2iirs. Mr. L:;.c; .i 'will, we d;:b:
hot, pursue a course that will hold the border
slave States in ;he Union and give the sece
ded Stages no excuse for their action. In the
mean time, we apprehend, the forces of the
Government will be placed in a condition to
be made available should serious troubles en
sue. In this connection we would caution our
readers against placing implicit faith in all the
rumors found in our -telegraphic columns.
Nearly one half of the rumors set afloat since
Lincoln's election have been without the
slighest foiuiditioo rn fact. It is not likely
that the President and his Cabinet are going
to publish to the world every step they intend
to take nor the reasons therefor. The good ot
the country may require close counsel.
A Novel Check Better than Law. The
Philadelphia' eler ol Monday tells the fol
lowing story : "Among the amounts on depos
it with the Spring Garden Saving Fund was
the sum of $50, which had been thus invested
to the credit of a crippled child, f some six
years of ago. This sum was to be the founda
tion for a competency at such-time as the
child should come to man's vstate. Great,
thrrefore, was the ' consternation " when the
news began to circulate that the "Spring Gar
den" was tottering, or had actually fallen.
The news wa followed with the inloi niation
that payment had stopped. The parents of
the. child did not relish the loss of the only
fifty dollars they possessed in the .world, and
accordingly they adopted an original mode of
collecting the money. The crippled child was
taken to the office, and after seating him on
the counter, the father made a formal demand
for the return of his deposit. Of course no
money was forthcoming, and the cashier sta
ted the. utter inability of th institution to
meet its liabilities. "Very well," was the re
ply, if that is the case, 1 can no longer sup
port the child, and 1 now Jeave him with yon,'5
and suiting the action to the word, the moth
er and father left the premise;, while the child,
an astonished spectator, sat on the counter,
quietly, until atter his father and mother had
disappeared, then he started such a yell as was
calculated to arouse the seven slceers, and
betore the parents bad got a square from the
office, a messenger came running after them
with the information that if f hey would return
and take the child away, the SoO should be
paid. The two returned, and the officer was
as good as his word, and the' party left fifty
dollars richer."
, Privateering With reference to priva
teering for the destruction of Northern com
merce, The jY., O. Crescent says: "With a
tolerably accurate knowledge of what is going
on, and deliberately weighing all the circum
stances, we conclude that the lowest estimate,
750 swift-sailing stanch, substantial vessels,
fully equipped, carrying on an average four
mighty guns a piece, cn be put afloat in four
months to wage war upon Northern commerce,
blockade , Northern ports, cripple Northern
strength, and destroy Northern property. We
are sure that 200 can be obtained in a very few
days, and they will come from the especial home
of mock philanthropy and false religion, in
Yankee land-" And The Richmond Dispatch.
remarks: "As to the threat of hanging, now
so common in coercive circles, let it never be
forgotton that hemp grows in the South more
abundantly than in the North and that hanging
is a game at which two can play. For every
Southern privateersman bung without Judge
or Jury, two Sons of the Pilgrims will be
swung up like dried codfish at the trst conven
ient lamp-post, oak tree, or yard-arm. Let
them inaugurate their blockade as soon as
they like, and initiate at once the brutalities
with which they threaten any attempts at re
sistance and reprisal. We venture to predict
that if they dare to mete out any measure to
Southern privateers which they would them
selves consider unjust and inhuman if inflict
ed by Europeau men-of-war upon their own
private armed marine, the piisoners of the
South will be made to pay an eye for an eye, a
tooth for a tooth, and a life for a lite, till they
are sick to tho soul of "hanging Southern pri
vateers without Judge or Jury."
Something New. Anionz the direful infer
nal machines just invented in Cottondom, a
Montgomery - paper notices the "St. James
Torpedo," or Bombshell. So suggestive is
it of destruction, that it almost "harrows up
the soul" to look at it. The nhell is elonga
ted in form, containing two chambers for the
purpose of conveying that combustible con
tained in a common shell, in connection with
a burning fluid, which is so rapid and destruc
tive in its character, that water will have no
effect upon it. It is so arranged that tho ex
plosion will not take place until the heaviest
end ot the shell strikes against something, a
percussion cap being placed upon the tube in
the most artful manner. This shell ia the in
vention of Mr; II. L. St James, of Mobile.

and requested a young man to accompany her
home, which he did. On entering the hous,
she complained to the lady with whom she
was liviug of a cramp in the stomach. She
retired when the famijy did, but shortly after
got up and eiit out doors, and remained a
bout three quarters of an hour, when she re
turned to bed. Sevvral men coming from
church heard the cry of an infant, and on ma
king search found it sticking under the pigpen.-
It was taken to the house and properly
cared for, but on examination it was found to
be fatally injured, having had the back part

cheap as possible, had a difficult ami disagree
able passage to Sp mgfield, over the Western

Springfield, being nearly eight hours, the man
lecame weary and fell asleep with his swinish
companions, and the latter being hungry, kill

bitten, his face disfigured, and both his boots
fairly gnawed Irom his feet, while the remain
ing portions of his body and garment wore
Ir, isscribably deuIeJ. Ho was uot discovered
until the train arrived in Springfield.
