Sweating Illood Clairvoyance. A remarkable case of something is said to have
been exhibited, for some time past, in the person of
Sczan E. Peaksox a young woman living with Mr. Hiram Westfall, in tins town. She has been afflicted several times with severe spasms, in which she suffers great pain, and on two or three occasions sweat blood profusely over the stotuach, and from the forehead. This sweating of blood she prophesied before hand, and on each occasion, it took place at the precise time predicted, in the presence of respectable persons, whose testimony we are bound to believe. It is also said that she has frequently, when setting in a closed room, related accurately what some members of the family were doinjr'in other apartments of the
house or premises. That she will tell the time of
day to a minute, by a time piece in another room, out of her 6ight and, that frequently she has been heard reading the Bible correctly and fluently in her dark room. She says she can read end tell the time of day perfectly well in the dark, as it is all plain to her eight. Many of her Bayings and doings are strange beyond the common experience of human actions. We give them as we have heard them from respectable witnesses. Wabash Courier. The occurrences related above, or a part of them, happened while one of the Editors of the State Sentinel, was on a recent visit to Terre Haute, and he can
testify that the Courier falls short in its relations of
the preternatural phenomena, as testified to by the witnesses. The young woman in the first place had
predicted, as stated by the respectable family in which she resides, that she should be taken sick on a certain day and hour, that she should be peculiarly affected ; should for a certain length of time, sweat blood ; and finally, that she should recover on a certain day,
some two weeks from the first attack of illness, at 2
o'clock
Progress of Protection. The Lowell Patriot of September 20th, contains an account of a meeting of boarding hduse-keepers, connected with the factories ; the object being to obtain from the corporate factories, an advance in the price paid for the board of females, $1 25 cents per week. The Patriot remarks : The price paid for board, we are well satisfied, is lower than in justice it should be it is not sufficient to a fair remuneration of the necessary expenses of providing a good table and other accommodations. All, we believe even the agents themselves will admit that the price is too low. Then, why not advance ! We will not undertake to siy that the agents are direct to blame in the matter. They act for others ; yet their influence, we have no doubt, is quite sudicient, if rightly directed, to secure a prompt and satisfactory advance in the price of board. The stockholders are now reaping rich and abundant harvests, and they can well afford to be just if not generous. We think so also, but justice forms no part of the protective system. Think of seventeen cents per day to feed and lodge a stout girl who must labor fourteen hours per day, being upwards of the magnificent sum of five cents each meal and two cents for lodging. We think that stockholders who pay such sums while they receive twenty per cent dividends, cannot have impudence to complain of foreign pauper labor. N. Y. yews. 'Facpek Labor." The success with which the eastern manufacturers used the cry of " foreign pau

Tree Trade What is It I The most perfect exemplification of actual free trade which the world ever saw, is to be found iu these United States, considered as twenty-six " sovereign and independent " communities. Each buys what it pleases of the others, and sells what they respectively please to buy of it, without let or hindrance without the interference of Custom-house officers without charges or duties of any kind.

for though he had on soma occasions worked some
hands more than twelve hours and a half, they had
never worked more than 09 hours a week, as they left off at one o'clock every Saturday, thereby giving them an opportunity of enjoying longer recreation than if they had continued to work until 7 o'clock every other evening. This being the first case that hod occurred before any metropolitan police magistrate, Mr. Traill mitigated the penalty to 20. each,
which defendant paid, and was discharged.

If the former, then in proportion as other nations relax their restrictive system, we shall do the same. If the latter, we 6hall secretly deprecate any such change, and perhaps openly denounce it, as in the case of the British Anti-Corn Law League. The grand object of that Association is the promotion of free trade ; more especially free trade in breadstuffs ; and first of all, in England herself. The value of breadstuffs imported into Great Britain and Ireland, has amounted, on an average of the last twelve years, to $17,000,000 per annum ; and would have been still greater but for the heavy duties. No nation, perhaps, is so deeply interested in a repeal of those duties the very object of the Anti-Corn Law League as the United States. Why then should we, or any of us, ally ourselves with the British-corn monopolists, against the efforts of the most excellent and truly noble association ! But we must, have revenue. Undoubtedly ; and there is no mode of raising it so little burdensome to the people, because so little perceived by them, as by duties on imports. We propose no other mode of raising it, except the three or four millions realized annually from the sales of public lands ; we know of none better. Still, it is a mode which bears very hard upon men of small means, because it compels them to pay almost as much per head, as the same number of rich men ; whereas the latter ought to pay in proportion to their property. A man worth $1100 probably consumes half as much of dutiable goods, on an average, as a man wortli $100,000. Consequently the latter pays but twice as much fur the support of Government as the former ; whereas he ought to pay a hundred times as much. But waiving all this, we agree that the necessary revenue, over and above the proceeds of laud sales, is best raised by duties on imports. The average annual expenditures of the Government for many years past, have been nearly or quite $30,000,000. If we should keep clear of wars and
ether extraordinary charges we may possibly reduce them to $25,lKXl,000. To do this, however, will reJuire the most rigid economy. If we call the revenue rom lands $3,COO,000 annually, there will remain to
be raised by duties on imports, 1,500. To raise this amount, would require an average duty of 21 i
per cent, on yl00,00O,t0Oof imports; which is about
the average of our importations for the last 4 years.
Nearly or quite one-tenth ot our imports consists of
specie, which of course is tree of duty. Sundry other
articles are necessarily tree of duty, or subject to a less duty than 20 per cent. Making these deductions it would be found that a horizontal duty on all other
articles must be in the neighborhood of 25 per cent., in order to afford the requisite revenues. And the
cost and charges of importation would be equal to
about lo per cent. more.
So that the worst that could happen to the manu
facturers, should the doctrines of the most ultra free trade men, bo called, be carried out, would be; that
they, the manufacturers, would have a protection
against foreign, commodities, of 40 per cent, on the
value : or two tilths of therost ot the article. Is not
this protection enough ! Can it ba expedient to man
ufacture, in this country, goods which can be made
two-fifths cheaper elsewhere ! Cannot our labor be
turned to better account in some other way 1
But most tree traae men are willing to make some discrimination in favor of particular articles. Mc
Kay's bill, which was before Congress at the last ses
sion, made a discrimination, lue tree trade men generally would have been satisfied with that bill.
They would be satisfied with it now. The maximum range of duties in that bill with the exception of a few articles, was 30 per cer t, ad Valorem. Then add
15 per cent for cost of importation, and it makes
protection to the American manufacturer of 45 per
cent. At this rate of duty a shirting which costs 7J cents in Manchester could only be laid down here 104

It is a great mistake in any party, to concilitate the time serving at the expense of the true and tried

It is therefore quite as correct to charge the Tariff
men with being in fator of d.rect taxation, as the
free trade men. It is only by misrepresenting the doctrines of the latter, that they can be made to

The New York Courier thus attempts to crowd
Judge McLean off the presidential path :
"No opinion seems to be more universal now, or
more wisely settled than that the occupation of a seat on
the bench of the bupreme Court ot the U. E. is a vir
tual renunciation of all claim and aspiration thereafter to political office. The iudses of that court are a
- ' .
priesthood consecrated and set apart, and no more to be mingled up in the debasing strife of politics ; and
under no circumstances can any one oi tnem ever De-
come a candidate for popular tavor."

Thifi interest is almost entirely American, and does
not include a large trade in American vessels from the North-west coast to China, and thence home
hese vessel touch at tile Sandwich Islands for sun-
plies, most of which are grown on the Oregon territory. Now for this immense interest the United
States have never had a single port in the whole Pa-
lhc where this trade can be carried on. The whole
has depended entirely upon the hospitality of the
Sandwich Islands, and for ten vears Congress has
been flooded with petitions, from those interested, to institute some sort of authority and laws on the Ore
gon for their protection, some sort of refuge in case of necessity. This has been totally unheeded. It is true a bill was presented to extend the Iowa jurisdiction over the Oregon, and also to erect the new territory of the Nebraska and extend its authority over
me uregon, mil was not discussed last session. Thus
an immense marine and trade have been entirely
abandoned by our government, and no place of resort now exists but the Sandwich Islands. What was the situation of that trade, and what the consternation of those interested, when two years ago the English, under Lord George Paulet, seized llioe Islands and an
nexed them to the British Crown ! At one blow 30U American ships and 10,110 stamen were at the mer
cy of the waves. It is trun that the zeal of the Brit
ish commander caused his movement to be prtmaturt ;

iJritish seized the Falkland Island- in a similar man
ner. Ihe movement was premature, and thev back
ed out. In 1833 the time was rine. and thw ro....
nexed thera to the British crown by "right of discovery !" England had in all last year but one whaler
in the Tacitic, yet she had four government vessels at the islands and on the Oregon coast. Now the only harbor on that whole coast is the mouth of the Columbia, and it is the only point in the property of the United States, where a settlement for the support of a
vast Pacific trade can be made. England to all apperance, is on the point of seizing that harbor and
repeating her blow at the independence of the Sand
wich Islands although her whole interest in Oregon is a fast decreasing fur trade conducted by a few miserable trappers, and one whaler on the Pacific. One movement of hers, however, will sweep the whole
American interest m me i acinc to destruction, and we are told that the only way to preserve peace is to give her the right to make that movement. To allow the English to remain upon the Columbia is to surrender the independence of the Sandwich Islands, to strengthen their claim to California, already commenced by negotiations, fortunately discovered, with Santa Ana, and to throw open the western frontier to
rier ceaseless encroachments. This we are told, is
the "way t preserve peace." There are two classes who advocate this policy : the one is superöcial and
.nouglitless, and suppoees it is by this course building
up a reputation lor great wisdom and moderation. The other, directly in the foreign interest, because their dependences are in Canada and among the large
class ot alien residents, or receiving specified sums for certain publications direct from English officials.
The American people are, however, on the alert. The Great West is moving, and the interests of the coun
try will be powerfully upheld against all the machi
nations that Lurope can employ here or elsewhere.

Indiana State Sentinel. We reerret to eee that
some professed friends of General Cass are about to
get up a new paper for the purpose of promoting his
election,and breaking down the Indiana State Sentinel.
These movements, we are satisfied, do not meet the
approbation of Gen. C, and they most certainly excite the indignation of the Democratic partv everv
where. The papers all over the country have spoken
out upon the subject in tones of thunder, and if we
mistake not, the ills intended for otters will recoil
with redoubled force upon the heads of their authors. Whenever a paper is established for the purpose of
subserving the interests of mm and promoting this or
that candidate to olhce, the Democracy should frown it down at once. These men are not prompted by any real friendship for Gen. Cass. They are incapa
ble of friendship ; and for principle they know not
the meaning of the term. If they can obtain otnee,
it ia all they wish all they care for. Gratify them
in that way and the Democratic party may go to pot, for
aught that they care ; and tor the gratification of thi end, they will not stop short of the immolation of the
party, if within their power. We have read the " Political Mysteries of Indian
apolis," by the Chapmans of the Sentinel, with much
interest. They lay bare the political rottenness and corruptions of these men in 6uch a way as to compel
the very buzzards to pass them by with loathing and disgust. " Lay onand spare not " friends Chapman. All the true friends of Cass and the whole Democracy
are with you. We expect to hear the familiar crotr of your Chanticleer that has so cfteri enlivened us with notes of triumph over the fallen coons. We expect soon to hear the voice of triumph over these
worse than coons these coon-serv-atives. Wayne

We learn by way of a person from Indianapolis
that it is verv probable in tact, that it is almost re
duced to a certainty that the publication of the In
diana Democrat v ill not be commenced. This much
is certain : the fiscal partner S. F. Covington, Esq
has withdrawn from the enterprise, and taken
charce of the Madison Courier. Thus is one fire
brand extinguished, and we hope that a like fate may
await all similar attempts to sow discord in the de

The gun, a harrtl fir d.schargiiig bulleU or balls Iths of an inch in diumtcr, is pUctd over the body of a machine, by which the profiling power is generated, and the whole move-- u,.-cn a ctiriage with a pair of wheels, weighing altogether half a ton, and is calculated to be drawn by one horse at the rate of 8 or 10 miles an hour. Wh n in position, a third wheel is attached, by which it traverses with ease and steadiness. The engineer is able to ;ake a true aim; the barrel having a sight sim.lar to that of a rifle. The barrel is supplied with balls by two channels, one fixed and the other movable. This last may be made large enough to contain an immense number of balls. It is calculated that 1000 balls or more ran be discharged a minute, the volleys being shot oif in almost continuous succession, the stationary chamber supplying the barrel: This experiment, it appears, fully carried out all the inventor proposed when the invention was noticed Iii April last. The bullets were driven through a thick plank, and afterwards flattened completely on an iron target. Those d.rected against the target, without the intervention of the plank, were beaten to atoms and literally plastered upon boards placed by the side of the target. The
force far exceeded that ol any othtr military engine
of equal calibre in which gunpowder is employed. A board 3 inches thick, at,20 yards d. stance, was com
pletely shattered through by the bulleis, as it done by
a centre-bit and drill ; and the rapidity ana precision
of aim were extraordinary. For clearing a breach or sweeping a force, such an engine must be most tre
mendously destructive. Ihe secret ti me invention has not been made known ; it is stated, however, that
the propelling powr is produced by the application of gases, exploded by galvanic electricity.
Anothik Mammoth. The bones of an animal that
must have been of immense size, are now being fjund
in Evansyille, Indiana. The writer of this paragraph visited the locality in July, in company with the gentleman who is superintending their exhumation. From the bones already found, the genus of the animal cannot be guessed, but the bones of the pelvis, the tusk and the ribs are nearly twice the size of those
of any skeleton the writer has ever seen. Those of
the mastodon in the riuladtaa museum, are quue diminutive in comparison with them. But the dU in-
guishing peculiarity consists in what Eecms to be a claw that was evidently attached to eah toe. The
writer has in his possession a draw.ng t one ot Umbo
claws. It is about five inches in length, two and a
half in breadth, and or.e and a quarte- in thickness.
This peculiarity is not possessed by any skeleton tlt
has yet been discovered it is rot oeiscriDea in atiy oi the books and is an entire new feature to those who have seen it or heard it described. Every tiling about the bones indicates that they belong to a spwies that
has not before been discovered, and that the common
mammoth must have been comparativtly a pigmy by the side of it. Some of the bunes are very much
decayed, and it is doubtful if the skeleton can le obtained in perfection. They are found on the very
bank of the 0.;uO river, from twenty to miny i-ci below the surface cf the ground, and mostly below low water mark. A section of the so.l is thus
divided : 1st, fifteen feet of sand and clay -Jd, three
feet of old trees coated with iron 3d, two feet of
actual leaves 1th, ten feet cf shells, iron, &.c, ia
which deposite the bones are found.
Essence or Coffee. A Mr. E. L. Szadectky haa

It is stated in a recent report to the British Asociation, that ninety-one per cent, of ihe Ka:irg poicer of fuel is lost in its application by the ordinary mode in iron furnaces, &c. , The report intimates that the common mode of heating in the manufecture of iron will be entirely done away with, a new one ubv,miied ; and that experiments are in progre to effect this.
