III. A AND WILSON.

A joint discussion between Judge ]bike and James A\ ilson, took place nt 1 ine drove, in Tippecanoe county, a few days since. Tlicro were some fifteen hundred people on the ground. The burthen of Wilson's nrgnment was almost entirely devoted to "bleeding Kansas/' and the silly and ridiculous charge of extravagance of the present administration. His harrangue was very coldly received, no responses greeting him from the crowd. On Judge Blake's taking the .stand, the most, vociferous and hearty cheers were given. The Judge laid bnrc the silly quibbles, dodges a id pettifogging tricks of Wilson, and carried conviction to the minds of hid hearers io a clear and forcible exposition of Democratic principles. It was a fine effort and won for him the praise of many of the Republicans present. The Judge is unquessi ably a knotty opponent for Vi ilson. Albert S. White, of Lafayette, who was present and heard the discussion, remarked that Wilson had evidently "caught a TarI tar," that "he was about the worst used up man in a discussion he had ever met with."

This, coming from prominent Republican, was a damper, and from ilson's woefullooking countenance, he must have heard it. Wilson's only salvation for re-election is the carrying of Tippecanoe and Warren counties by large majorities. We arc assurcd by prominent (anti-V. ilson) Republicans in those counties, that Tippecanoe will not go over two hundred majority and 'that Warren will fill under three hundred.

Wilson is a dead cock in the pit. Blake stock is rising.

JiOOTS" AND SHOES.

The time of year is near at hand, when every body will have to provide themselves with boots and shoes suitable for the iwet, damp weather, that accompanies the fall months. .David Koster has just re ceived a large stock of these inditpensablo articles. They are, without exception, the most substantial, durable and well-finished stock that has ever been introduced into this market. They contain nothing but the best quality of leather, and arc made for service, and those that purchase may depend that they will get value received, a thing not ofteu obtained wheu buying the miserable trash manufactured in the east•crn cities.

"AN ilsou's toadies arc full of excuses over his discomforturc and route at Pine Grove. Some say that he was suffering from an ague chill at the time.

IMMENSE GATHERING OF-T1JE PEOPLE. "Fire in the mountain?,

Kan, boys, mri!° 'h

Powerful "Tornado" of Public Sentiment —Chris. Walknp demolishes the Admin istrntion and open* afresh vein in Bleeding Kansas— flill Schooler holds the bowl and points to the Fnro Bank— Bromley feels his pulse—while George Hall sticks out his two stumpy Insert and holds his face in a ditty handkeichicf. Oh, dear, Mr. Bowen: (Give me time to breathe.)

The greatest meeting that ever was held or attended by mortal man, was the one that was held in the "city of Yountsvilile," on the 22d of September, 1858, at 2 o'clk., P. M. There was such a mighty gathering of the "People," that poor old mother earth fairly groaned under their prodigious weight. There were nine liners and nearly "eight" Republicans, besides three boys and two small dogs, both Republican.".

The meeting was "opotfrd" by Chris. Walkup. .Shall I describe the man yes, if I can. Fancy to yourself two prodigious ringmawls, with handles resembling a pair of old-fashioned Scotch hamcs, and you have him up to his hips then fancy that you sec an old-fashioned Dutch bake-oven, with the "bread hole" shut up with a picce of clapboard, and a crooked pole sitting np against it at an angle of about 45 dcg., and you have him up to his neck then fancy that you sec a small red "Yankee pumpkin" with two holes punched in one side and the punctures filled with two ripe cranberries, and you have the man to a dot. lie commenced with a tirade of abuse of the Democratic party and the administration, but in such an ignorant and undignified manner, that even Schooler laid down the monkey, assumed the man. and for the first time in his life was seen to blush, and my friend ITall stood it as long as lie could, but, finally, he too gave way to an impulse of iccling, and having no means of cscape, lie cnsconccd himself snugly behind the pulpit and covered his face with some old "foul linen." The prophet "Dan," too, put upon his countenance such a scowl that I fear very much it will diminish his chances for happiness but Abijah took it the hardest "of them all." I was somewhat fearful he would push all the pockets out of his breeches feeling for his knife. At the time I did not know whether he intended "getting it out" to cut Walkup's throat or to whittle the pews, but he finally commeneed on the pews, the back of one of which he cut nearly in two.

In the midst of Walkup's speech, sonicthing stepped into the door with a face very much resembling a monkey, and his head looked as though another "dip" would have sent him to the "cotton field." This yclept nondescript's name is Bromley, a candidate for Representative, "the thing" who positively declared that he was in favor of negro equality, without any qualification whatever, and when interrogated as to his vote on the Maine law, he declared that he would vote for it no matter how stringent it might be.

Mr. Editor this is a faithful synopsis of the proceedings of the Republicans at our town, and the position taken by the "Hon." in expectancy did not surprise me at all, for it is a natural principle with us all to court the association of our equals.

It is from such a quarter as will give the public confidence in its cfficacy, and we have learned from reliable sources, that its virtues will sustain their fullest expectations. Citizens of the West can not fail to appreciate the paramount value to them, of a safe and certain remedy for this afflicting distemper without either Quinine or minerals, and consequently without injury to the constitutional health. We have more than ordinary satisfaction in proclaiming this remedy, because we are convinced it will answer a crying want among us, and serve to relieve a great amount of suffering.— Republican, Tfn/\wiwt Indiana.

EXTRAOR DINAR INVENTION.—Mr.David L. Stiller, of Madison, Wisconsin, has invented a machine which, from the representation given it, is deemed a very extraordinary affair. Mr. 31. has been'of the opinion that some ancient application of mechanical power of the wedge, lever, and screw has been lost, as modern mechanicism could hardly accomplish—if it could at sill—the labor of erecting the Pyramids and other huge ancient structures. He thinks he has supplied this lost art by his machine, which embraces the three principles above named, together with a double cylinder. It is portable, weighing only forty-five pounds. At the Norris Locomotive Works, in Philadelphia, where they have one of the machines in use, one of the workmen, a man weighing one hundred and fifty-six pounds, lifted with facility the enormous weight of 37,382 pounds—more than eighteen tuns, merely by the application of the strength of his hands to the lever.

KC I, A it ATI ON by JUDGE DOUGLAS

A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, giving an account of the speechof Judge Douglas at Benton, franklin county, 111., says

Judge Douglas then proceeded to notice and denounce the charge which has been circulated, that he, during the last winter, had held consultations with the Black Republicans, and attended their caucauscs at his own. house or elsewhere. Tie denounced the charge as an rxiitTiOATKn FALSEHOOD, declared that he had never attended a Bhi'i[• Republican caucus in his life, at his men house or elsewhere, nor had he ever given any assurance, directly or indirectly, to any mortal man, that in any event or contingency he would ever abandon the •principles of the Democratic parti/, or support any other than, those which he had always proclaimed in the Nebraska bill as he avowed them in the Senate, of the United States and since his return home. His statements on these points were full, direct, and conclusive. He characterized this as one of the inventions of the Abolitionists and their allies, to create distrust in the Democratic party, and thus weaken it for the benefit of the Black Republicans. These remarks, I should add, were made, referring directly to an article republishc'l in. the Missouri Republican from the Jefferson City Examiner.

TAKE TIIK.1I TO BOSTON. The South side (Va.) Democrat suggests that the best plan to get clear of the captured Africans is to take them to Boston. "There can be no doubt," says the Democrat, "that they would teach a valuable lesson in two or three ways. They would absorb somewhat of that surplus philanthropy which finds itself without objccts at homo, and cruises about after the "poor negro" in the South. "This would relieve the Government, while it could not be objected to on the part of Boston, except that such a lump of blessings might too much exhilcrate her so her people. "Jn sober seriousness," continues the Democrat, "we can couecive 110 more instructive lesson to put before New lingland than must be taught by a cargo of savage Africans put down on its shores.— Looking at them, the New England mind may compare the slave of the South with his original, and reach a safe conclusion about the humanity of Southern slavery. It may sec whether the chains which clank in its imagination on ihc limbs of the negro in the cottonficld—the lash which drives him, or the inhumanity that starves him, as pictured in the schedules of underground lailroads, and laid down in the platforms tf Abolitionism, in their darkest colors, are worse than what the bondage ot .savage life exhibits in these poor wretch-! es."

Its origin dates back to the commencement of the French Monarchy yet as late as 1544 it containtd only about two thousand volumes of which only half wore printed. The number of volumes which it contains now is numbered by many hundreds of thousands, and fills room after room and hall after hall. In one of the latter are speci mens of book printing from the earliest date down to the jircsent time, showing the progress of the art. Autographs are also preserved of nearly all the distinguished men of modern times. The rooms appropriated to manuscripts are very large, and the number preserved quite amazing.— They arc nearly all bound in volumes in a uniform style. The cabincut of medals and antique gems is also wonderful for its extent and beauty, many of them being exceedingly rare and curious. The number is said to be nearly one hundred and fifty thousand. The department of maps and plans is said to contain over three hundred thousand maps, charts, plans, views, &c. In this department were many parsous employed in copying. The depart-

NISTORY^OF.TCHERBOURG [AND ITS ABTIFICIA LJHAR BOH. Th'e recfcnt fete at Cherbourg, in France, renders the following history of the prolonged and finally successful attempt to construct an artificial harbor there intering:

Cherbourg was a city of the great Caesar, at least the medieval chronicles call it Caesaris Burgus, from which, Cherburgum and Chereburtum. Tradition, says an old Danish King, by name Aigrold, held his court there in the year 945 William the Conqueror founded a hospital there of

II, with his pretty Queen Eleanora, had bowers upon the hills overlooking the hark,or"

St0»cs

of sieges and captures of

English and French rule succeeding, belong to it. But alwaj-s it was little dapper Cherbourg, whose great harbor, all open to the north (though it had water which might float four hundred war-ships,) was no refuge against storms. The magnificent Louis XIV., first conceived the idea of making it safe, and sent his great marshal, Yauban, to measure it and study it, and contrive how it might become the northern arsenal of France. The marshal, true to his duties, went there, and the result of his studies is still hauging in a chart which is treasured in the Hotel do Villc.

But the project proved too grand for the day and was abandoned but new

Avars

quickened^ the sense of need, and Louis XVI., revived the plan. The engineers of his day, (1784,) suggested that truncated cones of timber, or huge broad bottomed tubes, should be floated across the entrance of the harbor, and then filled with stones and sunk—the dyke being completed by throwing in masses of rock upon either side.

Bat it needed only a few storms, such as come once iu halt a decade of years, to to overset the cones, and to strew their wreck throughout the bed of the harbor. Then came the thwacking Revolutionary times, in which little Cherbourg was forgotten in the talk about the guillotine and Robespierre. Yet the Revolution had its strategy and its engineers, and its need for them, ihcre was a new national outcry for a great harbor of refuge on the north coast of Prance, and Cherbourg was talked into notoriety once more.

A new scheme was devised the timber cones were abandoned, and immense granite walls were sunk, filled in with fragments ot rock. For years this progressed .successfully, and Napoleon found it risen above the level of the water. At once he saw its need and its capacity for military defense, lie ordered a fort constructed upon the ccntcr of the mole, and straightway the fortification lifted its cmbrazurcs above the level of the harbor. Barracks, too, were built, and the works extended year after year.

In 1808 an extraordinary storm burst upon the harbor the waves, carried to an unusual height submerged all the buildings raised upon the dyke^ and by the force and suddenness of their shocks, swept them all away save only the cabin of the commandant of the prison and making a wide brcach in the masonry, poured over and through it with tremendous violence. There were at the time upon the dyke two hundred and sixty-three soldiers and workmen, ot whom one hundred and ninetytour were drowned sixty-nine were saved by finding shelter in hollows among the stones and thirty-eight found their way oft iu a boat, which they managed with infinite difficulty to reach during a temporary lull in the tempest.

Ly this storm the work of sixteen '"cars, in sinking great blocks of granite, was almost annihilated, and. the whole mass reduced to the?state of a mere rubble-bed.

Could the "work ever be made effective? Losses had been immense: the plans of the greatest engineers had been proven worthless. Even the foundations of the dyke, it was found by survey in 1828, had been shifted a considerable distance.

Still the glory and honor of France demanded the triumph, and the work went on.

Louis Philippe brought the vigor of a fresh administration and a comparatively popular government into strong contrast with the indolant hands of the reinstated Bourbons.

New engineers contrived new material. No weight of stones, it was found, would prove sufficient to withstand the prodigious force ot the tide when lashed b}r the north winds.' A concrete was now formed of lone part of small stones and pounded brick, and two of lime, and deposited upon the loose foundation sloping in either direction, and upon this a vertical wall raised by well jointed and solid masonry. This, however, yielded to the storms of 18oG the concrete was broken—blocks of stone weighing three tons or more, were raised twcnfj*-two feet in the air, and carried over the wall to the inner side of the dyke. The masonry was broken, and breaches made through which the sea burst impetuously.

Lnough remained, however, to warrant continuous prosecutions of the work.— \ear after year, under Guizot, under 1 biers, under the Provisional Government, uuder the Presidency, and under the Empire, the laborers upon the dyke and fortifications of Cherbourg have counted by thousands, till at length it was brought to completion under Louis NapoleonT— More than six hundred and fifty millions of francs have been expended on it. Humboldt pronounced it—so long ago as he saw it—the grandest work which man had yet accomplished.

Four light-houses now show the way there by night. A sea-wall more than two miles in length, and five hundred feet- in breadth, has been constructed in water

from forty to sixty feet in depth.

UNPARALIELED BAI/LOOO TRIPCLLILDREIF IN A TREE TOP. On Saturday last an aeronaut made a short ascension from the town of Centralis, HI., on the line of the Illinois railroad.— He had a successful flight, and the balloon was safely landed on a farm some fourteen miles from the starting point. While there two little children of the good farmer were placed in tbc basket of the balloon, at the urgent request of the youngest, a bright little boy only four years old. His sister, a girl of eight summers, also got into the basket with her brother, and all were delighted with the wonderful thing but in a twinkling their joy was turned to horror and dismay, as the balloon tore the anchor loose, and once more soared aloft, like a huge bird of prey, carrying the two children to the clouds in a few moments.— Their parents were in ccstacy of despair, expecting every moment to see one or both of their little ones fall to the earth and be dashed to pieces. Together with the aeronaut they followed the course of the balloon until night closed it from view, but distinctly saw it gradually descend towards the earth. They followed its course to a dense wood, and about da}Tlight on Sunday morning discovered it safely anchored in a tree top.

The hopes and fears of the party were alternately excitcd in regard to the children, but the mother's quick ear detected the voice of the little girl, and she distinctly heard her singing her little brother to sleep, wholly unconscious of the peril she was in, or the risks she had run. The tree was hastily climbed, and the boy discovered asleep, with his head in his brave sister's lap. She had taken off her apron and covered his head," and singing the little song to keep him hushed and quiet, well knowing, in full confidence"of innocent childhood, that her parents would come after her and take her home. The adventure and escape is certainly the most remarkable we have ever heard, and we can but add that the following should have been the lallaby to her little brother:

QUEBEC, September 2L.

The steamship New Briton, from Liverpool on Wednesday the 8th inst., arrived at this port this morning, having been delayed over night by the storm.

Though the political intelligence, generally speaking, by the New Briton, is not of importance, there are some points of marked interest, especially in relation to the Atlantic Telegraph.

The royal mail steamship Niagara, from Boston and Halifax, arrived at Liverpool on Saturday.

The screw steamship Great Britain, from New York, arrived at Liverpool on tho 7th inst.

The cessation of signals through the Atlantic cable was announced in London on the 6th, but no particulars had been given to the public. It was believed, however, from what had leaked out, that the difficulty was near the shore and remediable.— The non-working of tbc cable had caused a decline in the shares to a nominal quotation.

In addition to the above, we arc permitted to state that the New York directors of the Atlantic company have to-day received a dispatch from the

Superintendent in New­

foundland, who states that tho electricians have been unable to communicate with Valentia Station since the first of September, but the electrical manifestations are such that no doubt exists here that the difficulty is at, or very near the Valentia officc.

A grand banquet in honor of the Atlantic cable was given at Killarney on the 7th of September, est:

Charles T. Bright, the engineer of the Telegraph Company, had been knighted by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.

Queen Victoria had opened the town hall at Leeds. The proceedings were attended with great cclat.

The indemnity from China to France and England for the expenses of the war is believed to be considerably greater than was reported via Russia.

LivEurooi- MARKETS.—The weather had been favorable for the crops, but the market for breadstuff's was generally steady.

FEAKFUL FLIGHT* IN "A HAL.LOOX. On the lGth, at Adrian, Mich., a balloon ascension was made by Messrs. Bannister and Thurston. The ascent and decent were a perfest succcss, landing near Riga.— While kctching the net-work the sack of the balloon escaped from its fastenings and rose, carrying Mr. Thurston with it, who at first felt no uneasiness, supposing the gas was escaping, and that it would soon settle down again, which proved not to be so. He was soon horror-stricken to find himself destitute of any means of managing his vehicle.

TURKEY.-—Reijgi0us fanaticism continues to prevail in tho east at Aleppo. A perfect panic prevailed for three days.

The Musselmen armed themselves and the city was destroyed. No serious loss of life, however, occurred. The authorities are taking measures to prevent it. At Tripoli, a similar panic prevailed, and was only dissipated by the arrival' of a man-of-war in port.

It was said that Russia and France would support the project of obtaining from Turkey the cession to Montenegro of a small part cm the Adriatic, and through which the Montenegrians may communicate with the world without.

Lord Stratford de Redcliffe had started for Constantinople, and amongst the numerous missions attributed to him by rumor is the thwarting of his project.
