The World's Convention, Hubert Owen' " World's Convention " has at length terminated its .sLtuigs, af.er adopting the following reKlurioiis, with only one dissenting voice: 1st. That the Vur!J Ginveution has been called to ascertain if any parti were prepared with a well tliealetl and matured scientific plan of society; cnlctiIdted to solve the jjreat prublt tn of the age, How tlie superabundant material and power now at the control of society may le applied to produce permanent prosperity, and superior conduct in each for the benefit of all, and how this change can be immediately etllt-ted in practice without the leat division, inconvenience or evil to exitin arrangements, in order to relieve society fivrn the ignorance, poverty, division, crimes a iid misery with which the population in all countries are now severely afflicted." 'J. That with this extended view it became necesssary to admit to a fair and full investigation whatever plana were presented to the Convention, that the public niight have an opportunity to ascertain the progress wliich has been made toward the attainment of this the most important object which can now engage the attention and deep consideration cf the best disposed, most talented and extensively experienced members of society. 3. That various partial plans have been submitted to the Convention and fairly and fully discussed ; that Mjme of these appeared to the Convention very crude and ill-adjusted, while others were deemed to contain valued isolated principles that may be beneficially

iatroduccd into a regular scientific arrangement of society. 4. That Jlr. Clinton Roosevelt submitted a well corrected and deeply considered plan of eociety, with explanatory diagrams ; a plan which contained many moat valuable principles and suggestions that niipht b-? advantageously applied to assist in the formation of a superior arrangement of society. 5. That Robert Owen, the President of the Conven tion, submitted a plan based upon the principles of Universal Charity, of a moral, scientific, federative, self-supporting, and self-governing society, purposely devised in its outline and detail, to ensure the wellbring, well-diing, comfort and happiness of everyone of its members, physically, mentally, morally and practically, through life, under nw arrangements that w.U benefit all and injure none, leaving religious liberty perfectly free to all, according to their individual consciences or opinions. ü. That he deems the most likely mode of effecting the change from the present system of society to the one which he proposes, to be by joint stock companies, like railways and other larpe undertakings, for the profit of the shareholders, and if the tenant occupies, unJer such conditions that the litter shall ultimately become the proprietors, by purchase, of their individual -.iety, and thus gradually make land public property. 8. That a Society be formed in the city of New York to prepare a well digested Prospectus for Joint Stock Companies, to conslruct scientific, federative, j-elf-supportinj and self-governing societies, on the principles of equal rights and of a sound, practical equality, in accordance with the Constitution of these States, as estaLl.shed by the far-sccing founders of tins new Republic. 7. That Branch S cieties over the Union be f jrmed and connected with the Parent Society in New York, to give true explanations of the principles and object of the World's Convention, and promote the forming of these Joint Slock Companies. 9. That a Committee be appointed to prepare the Constitution, rules and regulations, of the parent and branch societies, and to draft a condensed statement f-r publication, of the proceedings of this first World's Convention, and that an annual World's Convention shall be held hi this city, to commence its sitting on the first day of October in each year. 10. That the unpaid expenses of this Convention bo paid by the Farent Society now proposed to be formed. 11. That the Chairman be requested to appoint at his leisure, members of this Committee, of such persons as he may deem the most likely to promote the grpat object now attempted to be attained. The President then expressed his jrcat satisfaction with the success of this first "World's Convention," which is to be resumed annually, and then dismissed the Convention for tie year. OrThe Editor of the Beacon, propounds to us several questions, we have forgotten some of thcin, and have mislaid the paper, but we recollect three of them, which are about as follows : 1st. D-jyou approve of Gov. Whitcomb's being the friend of both of Mr. Yan Euren and General Harrison 1 Certainly we do. He was just as thousands of other good and talented Democrats were. The political and personal friends of Mr. Van Buren, and the personal friends of Gen. Harrison. To this we have ;

no objection. Oen. (Jass says, m his l aris speech, oeen practised by the manutacturer-.

We learn hii iiomiaatious to the Semto from the Journ lis, and there wc see nothing objectionable. lie sont in tlie nam?s of several good men, who were mercilessly decapitated, by prsteuded political friends who are the men that are to blame for the present p )Iit cal complexion of our Supreme Court. If the Senile had wished a Democratic Court, it had it in its power, to have made it so. 3rd. Dies t!ii editor of the Demcrat, approve cf the course of the Sentinel towards the editor of the Eeacon V When the editor of the Eeacon commenced his insinuations that he knew of corruption among certain Democrats we said nothing, but waited a considerable time, until we were satisfied, that the editor either knew nothing, or dared not to lot out what he pretended to know, and that it was to end in fizzling, and all the priming and picking wa3 to be a flash in tlie pan. We then recommended to all, peace and union ; this was disregarded by tlie belligerants, and we have only noticed so much of them since, as it became oar imperative duty, in discountenancing disorganization, and unprofitable contentions in our pirtyT As to the personal difficulties between the Editots of 'the Sentinel and the Editor of the Beacon, we have no part nor lot iu the matter. Brookxilk Democrat, October 10. The other "Democratic" paper that was to be started at Indianapolis by Morrison and Covington, it is thought, will never be started. The exposure by the Sentinel of its editors and friends, have caused a pause. Whether the charges made by the Chapmans are true or not, we pretend not to say, but 11 the new editors now back out,the people will be apt to think there is some truth in what has been said and published by the editors of the Sentinel. Judging from letter writers and the Democratic papers generally, a large majority of the "Democracy" of the State are opposed to the publication of another Democratic paper at the seat of Government. If the new paper gets into operation there will be wine skinning between the Old Hunkers and the Young Democracy, which will be fine sport for the lookers on," but very l.ttle to tiis parties engaged. O.tce Branch, Del. 0. Santa Anna, the ex-President of Mexico, is still livin-r ia ease and elegance at the famous country 6ea1 of Dr. Ilevia. It is situated about nine miles frx ra Havana, in the district of Mariano. It is a sumptuous residence, and mijht well be deemed a palace. The Geueralhas recently purchased a magnificent carriage, &c and otherwise eiven evidence of a deicn to make Cuba a permanent roidence, unless some emer gency in the affairs of Mexico, fortunate for his partisan, should recall him to the scenes of his former worderful and mos, eventful career. It must be con fessed that he has cho-en his place of retirement with admirable taste and sagacity. From all parts of the earth news is received at Havana by regular and freqnent packets. He can thus take advantage of the eirliest movement ia his favor, communicate promptly with his friends at home, and at the samrj time share in the enjoyments aud luxuries of society ia Havana. ,The rou'e from Chagrcs to Panama, across the Isthmus, has recently been traversed by Mr. Jevvett, a newly appointed charge of the United States.

The Tai ill' ami the Currciu y. If any one thing is more remarkaLle Umu another in the conduct of the advocates of "direct taxation," disguised under the pretence of encouraging home industry by ruining the foreign trade of the couutry, and consequently the Federal revenues, it is the profound Silence which they observe in relation to the operation of a Rational Kank, for which they contend,

in oromotitij imports of foreign roods. While it : enhances the cost of producing here, and consequently throws the w hole trade into tlie hands of foreigners despite any Tariff im;xi d, how high soever the range if duties may be, it has far more influence than the duty upon imports. Take flannels : the comparative im i ort cost and duty in 133 and 1312, was as follows : Import. Cost- Coit pr y. Duty. 1836 yd 1842 - 630,316 316 952 50 renU 16 et SO p. ct. 75,805 30.330 40 - 8 " 23 " Deere f "59,4 2 1 276,577 10 u 8 10 " Now, under the cheap currency of lS3G,the foreign cost of flannels increased 17 cents per yard, or 33 per cent., the duty remaining the fame. In 1342, the Tariff fell to 20 per cent, ad valorem, and with a fall of 10 cents per yard in the cost of flannels, while the import fell to a mere nominal amount. Now, it ie very clear that the " high tariff" here did not reduce the price. What then d.d rio it ! Pimply tlie Contraction in the currencies loth of England and America, and the diminished exports of lsl2, consequent upon the operation of the 20 per cent, tariff of the extra session upon imported articles before free. Notwithstanding that f annuls had fallen 40 per cent, in foreign cost and the duty 4 per cent., the purchases were less. Why ? Recause the means of the farmers consequent upon a fall of produce, were less. The duty on flannels now is 14 cents per yard. If, now, by the establishment of a paper bubble through the means of a National Rank, the price here is restored to where it stood in ISIW), 67 cents being a rise of 40 per cent., of what avail is the tariff of 14 cents per yard, or 30 per cent, ad valorem ! Thus, Duty. Cost. 100 yard, flannels cost 4tl eta J 4. 000 $1.100 J.S.4C0 100 " 67 6,700 1,400 8,100 Increase: $2,700 $2,7C0 The same lot of flannels will pay the duty, and give the foreign manufacturer $1,300 more profit, while the ability of the domestic manufacturer to cope with him is diminished to the same extent by the general rise in raw materia, supplies, and labor. This operation the protectors of American indnstry studiously conceal from the public gaze, that their hollow-hearted professions may iiot be seen through. In all the wrangling about the fall in prices known to have. taken place during the past few years, the chief cause of that fall, the explosion of the rotten paper system, i kept entirely out of sight, while a reduction in salt and other articles is pointed to, in proof that high taxes diminish prices ; yet, singularly enough, cotlee and other free articles fell quite as much, if not more, than the dutiable ones. Sugar is an article of domestic manufacture. The tax on that article is from C to 100 per cent., the cheapest qualüy being taxed highest. The tax upon foolscap paper is U7 per cent. Now will any one pretend to say, that we could not get those articles cheaper if those heavy and unjust taxes were removed ! Surely not. The tariff is peculiarly hard on the poor man. The articles needed to sustain life, and to furnish the plaiuest raiment, are taxed immensely high, while articles of luxury, used by the rich, are taxed very lightly. This is not mere idle assertion. Here is a comparison of a few articles compiled from the law itself. See the contrast: NECESSARIES. Domestics, from O.'j to 100 per cent. Calicoes, from 31 to 1j2 " Sole Leather, 53 Mu?kets and Si.ot Guns, 04 Foolscap Paper, 97 Sug-ar from 03 to 1K) Salt, from 10 i to 170 Flannels, from 40 to ll'O LUXURIES.

Wool. The country hns long been aware, that undfr the specious clause of minimums in our tariff law, the grossest deceptions, not to say Jrauds, have country affords. In elloct cutting off entirely that "home market" for our own products, with which as an argument, they have so long tried to gull the planter, the agriculturist, and wool grower. Nay, not content with the bounties given to them by the;r Go vernment in the shape of protective duties, they have sent the best breeds of the merino sheep to South America to mix with the native stock, and are pro ducing that fine quality of low priced wool, which they are now introducing into the country, under a scheme of their own devising, so as to exclude our domestic wool from the market, or to put it at a price so low, that our farmers cannot afford to raise it. Vet, notwithstanding the monopoly and the bounties which the manufacturers have bo long enjoyed, tlie fraudulent schemes and tricks which they have practised on the couutry, by which they have swelled their profits beyond all precedent, they will doubtless present themselves before tlie next Congress, and be as clamorous and persevering as ever against the reduc tion of the tanlF. Will the conntry longer submit to this state of things 1 Ihs it not declared that the present tariff must be reduced to the revenue standard 1 What democrat then will oppose it 1 Will tlie manufacturers, indeed, prove stronger than the Administration and country ! We shall 8ee. H ashintrlon Constitution. I. O. O. F. The annual reports of the Grand and Subordinate Lodges of this Order, under the jurisdic tion of the tr. Li. ot the U. 0. made July 1, Is 10, present the following statistics : rio. of Lodges within the jurisdiction, " Initiations during the year, Whole number of members, 677 22,802 61,159 Revenue of Subordinate Lodges, No. of Brothers relieved, " Widowed Families relieved, Brothers buried. 8119,020 15 0,812 474 323 96.887 C9 Amount paid for relief of Brothers, Widowed families, .$9,099 54 Education of Orphans, $3,205 00 Burying the dead, 813,070 91 it Total amount paid for relief, 123,703 14. The reports from nine States do not show the amount paid for relief and the above statistics do not, therefore exhibit a full view of the benevolent operations of the order throughout the whole country. In these States are abont 80 Lodges numbering near ly 5,000 members, with a revenue but a little Bhortof 50,000. With the addition of the amount paid by these Lodges for benevolent purposes, all the above items would be very considerably increased, and probably the aggregate amount paid for relief would not fall short of 150,000. The expenditures of the Erv campment branch of tlie Order, are also to be taken into consideration and when that is done, it will be safe to say that the aggregate sum paid for relief du ring the past year Will not lall short of 200,000 dol lars. Counterfeiting. Capt. Pollock, late master of a steamer on the Mississippi, was arrested at Wheel in?. In his possession was found a lame amount of spurious bills ; and from facta which have since transpired, it is evident he is connected wiüi an extensive band of counterfeiters. In his valise was found about $7000 of spurious 100's, 50's, and" 10s, on the Planter's Bank of Tennessee.- On his person was fjund "00 good money. The other trunks be longing to Pollock, which wert en the Pittsburgh boat, must have reached Wheeling some time mi the diy of his arrest. In these were probably found more of the paper and perhaps also the plate which, by the way, is genuine, and was engraved in Cincinnati last May, for him, who was introduced by merchants who had known htm for eight or ten years. He represented bimnclf to1 be an agent for the Planter's frwik. He gt onlv 1250 impressions of the plate

A Ilomance of Ileal Life. Mrs. Child's letters from New York, w hich have lately been publishtd by Wiley &. Tutnain, contain some very interesting reminiscences, among which is the following curious incident which occurred in the family of the authoress, while the yellow fever was raging in that city :

'One of my fathers brothers, residing in Boston t the time, became a victim to the pestilence. When the first svmptoiiiS appeared, his wife pent the chil dren into tlie country, and herself remained to attend upon him. Her friends warned her against such rashness. They told her it would be death to her, and no benefit to him ; for he would soon be too ill to know who attended upon him. These arguments made no impression upon her affectionate heart. She ftlt that it would be a life long sitisfiction to her to know who attended upon him, if Ac did not. She ac cordingly staid and watched him with unremitting care. This, however, did not avail to save hiui. He grew worse and worse, and finally died. Those who went round with the death carts had visited the chamber, and seen that the end was near. They now came to take the body. His wife refused to let it go. She told them that she never knew how to account for it but tho' l.e was perfectly cold and rigid, and to every appearance quite dead, there was a powerful impression on her m.nd that life was not extinct. The men were overborne by her conviction, though their own reason was opposed to it. The half-hour again came round, and again was heard the solemn words "Bring out your dead." The wife again resisted their importunities ; but this time the men were more resolute. They said the duty assigned to thern was a painful one ; but the health of the city required punctual obedience to the orders they received ; if they ever expected the pestilence to abate, it must be by a prompt removal of the dead, and immediate fumigation of the infected apartments. She pleaded and pleaded, and even knelt to them in agony of tears, coutinually saying, "I am sure he is not dead. The men represented the utter absurdity of such an idea; but finally, overcome ty her tears, again departed. With trembling haste she renewed her efforts to re store life. She raised his hea5. lolled his limbs in hot flannel, and placed hot onions on his feet. The dreadful half-hour again came round, and found him as cold and rigid as ever. She renewed her entreaties so desperately, that the messenger began to think a little gentle force would be necessary. They accordingly attempted to remove the body against her will ; but she threw herself upon it, and clung to it with such frantic strength, that they could not easily loosen her grasp. Impressed by the remarkable energy of her will, they relaxed their efforts. To all remonstrances she answered, "If you bury him, you shall bury me with him." At last, by dint of reasoning on the necessity of the case, they obtained from her a promise, that if he showed no signs of life before they again came around, she would make no opposition to the removal. Having gained this respite, she hung the watch upon the bed post, and renewed her efforts with redoubled zeal. fhe placed kegs of hot water about him, forced brandy between his teeth, breathed into his nostrils, and held hartshorn to his nose ; but still the body lay motionless and cold. She looked anxiously at the watch ; in five minutes the promised half-hour would expire, and these dreadful voices would be heard passing through the street. Hopelessness came over her ; she dropped the head she had been sustain ing ; her hand trembled violently : and the hartshorn sho had been holding was spilled on the pallid face. Accidentally, the position of the head had become slightly tipped backwards, and the powerful liquid flowed into his nostrils, instantly, there was a sharp quick gasp a struggle his eyes opened ; and when the death-men came again, they found him sitting up in the bed. lie is still alive, and has enjoyed unusually good health. A Eold Trappek. Many stories are told of the feats, of the daring adventures, and hair-breadth escapes, of the free mounted trappers, but it may be worth while to mention one which llichardson, a Kentucky man, well known to the ervants of the company as one of the most austere and dare-devil traders of the mountains, used to tell. It was his boast that he never carried provisions on his journey in his most dreary and distant travels. His good horse, his trusty rifle, his pistols, his knife, his steel and flint, his traps, a coil of cord, and wallet, are his only accompaniments, and his only trust in Providence. Furnished with u.tm-,1 e nearu mm say ne lean noining over i t i. I 1 I r 1 p . . v,wiiuUumwu, wuaiiiupMiu. He was out alone, hunting buffaloes, and. at the close of the day, was returning to his tent, wheri he heard a clattering of hoofs behind him, and upon look ing back observed three Black Footed Indians, well mounted, in hot pursuit of him. He immediately threw otf his cargo of meat to lighten his horse, and then urged onward tlie animal to his utmost speed, in hopes to outstrip his pursuer--, but discovered that the enemy were gaining rapidly upon him, and would soon have him at their mercy. He tlieit adopted an Ik 1 1 . o ar3 s GCSPC - i- , 1 nib., Lrwivi. A&ti,, in-' in. vjnii niiticr, iitr iJiuniitu li into his horse's neck, and at once severed the spine. The animal dropped instantly dead, and the determined hunter, throwing himself behind the fallen carcass, prepared to meet his pursuers. In a moment one of the Indians came within reach of his rifle, and was shot through the heart. The other two, seeing the fate of their companions, halted for a moment, and then prepared to surround tlie enemy ; but as the first one had sent his ball whistling by the ear of Richard son, he himself dropped from his horse, from a ball from one of Fvichardson's long pistols. The third, seeing this rather a dangerous game to play, whipped his horse, and . was Boon out of sight. Richardson had then only to gather the fruits of his victory. He caught the two Indians' horses, mounted one, loaded the other with the discharged cargo of meat, and returned home with two spare rifles, and a good stock of ammunition. Constitution. Fkaud. The New York News, noticing the serious frauds now practised in the sale of "gold" arti cles says, mai mis uescripiion 01 amcies, by tlie process of galvanism and plating, has of late become so much adulterated as to contain scarcely 100th part of the gold lormerly wrought up into them. I or instance, gild pencil cases; a very few years since a description of these articles were sold at $19 each, and were or solid gold; precisely the same article to all appearance, is now sold at 7 for gold. A fraud here is apparent, because gold has not fallen in val ue. The cheap article nets tlie manufacturers 200 per cent., while the genuine would give but 40 per cent, profit. A pencil which formerly contained 5 worth ot gold has now a value of .JO cents thiuly gal vanized upon its exterior. So general has this prac tice become, that probably seven-eighths of all the ornaments worn in the city are of copper, although paid lor as gold. Western Hemp. It is stated by tbe Cincinnati Newa that the Maysville hemp market furnishes about thirty-six hundred tons per annum : whereas Weston. Missouri, a town of yesterday, according to the Democrat of that place, will export at the lowest estimate tliis season three thousand tons ; about equal to that shipped at the most important point in Kentucky. The hemp shipped at Weston, is almost exclusively of the growth of Platte. We are informed that at St. Joseph and other points on the river in what is called the Platte Purchase, tlie amount shipped is very consiueraDte. An Interesting Meeting. A grand council of the Six Nations is to be held at the Indian village of Tuscarora, at Tonawanda, to fill the vacancies occa sioned by the death of two sachems and several chiefs of tlie Seneca nation. The Grand Sachem of the con ftderacy will be prcseut and preside. Gov. Blacksnake, from the Alleghany reservation, was expected, but his great age- Tinety-six it is understood, will prevent. No grand council of tlie Six Nations has been held for the last thirteen years. AH the nations of the renowned confederacy, except tho Mohawks, will be represented. Fear of Starvation. We learn from the Charles ton Courier that the failure of the corn crop in the up per section 01 south Carolina lias created excessive ala rm leading even to the migration of some thou sandei of the population to Tennessee and Keutucky and other western regions, to seek bread tor their families, during the coming scarcity of corn, supposed to be rendered certain as the consequence of th late unex ampled drought. Several of the Railroad Companies have reduced tho rate ot toll on corn loahni.st a 110m ina! charge in order that it may reach at comparative

ly rea-ionable prices.

C'otts oflVar. Elihu Durritt, the "Learned Blacksmith," sums up

tlie following facts in relation to the costs of war : The national debts of ixteeu of the European Governments, at the- closest estimate that can. be made, amount in our currency, to $10,303,000,000 ; all incurred for the expenses of war. This embraces merely the arrearage, not what his been paid, for earning on war. The average of this amount is 23 a head to the whole population of these 16 nations. The interest of this vast sum nearly equals a tax of one dollar on every inhabitant of the globe. Since the Refitrmalion (.' ) Great Britain has been engaged 03 years, in the prosecution of seven wars; for which she expended, in our currency, $$,9:0,120,-1 OtO. It lias beeu estimated by ' our Missionaries that i a school of 30 heathen children, on the continent of India, would only cost $130 per . annum. Then this sum expended by a Christian nation in G3 years in carrying on war with other Christian nations, if applied to the education of the heathen, would have schooled 4,002,154 children per annum for 63 years ! Allowing five years to each scholar, then 59S ,$!?, (MX) children might have been educated for the money that Great Britain drained from the sources and channels of her wealth and industry, to waste in wars, every one of which degraded her people in every quality of their condition. From 1703 to 1915, a period of 22 years Great Britain, France and Austria expended $7,330,000,000 in war. The interest of this sura, at 6 per cent, would have supported 30,000 missionaries among the heathen during the whole period of 22 years, in which these Christian nations were engaged1 in doing the devil's work on each other. The aggregate amount would have given 5 year's schooling to 43,Goü.GG'i pagan children, on the Lancastehan plan. The interest for one nvmih, at tho above rate, would build 140G miles of railroad at $23,000 per mile. Consulting the best authorities I can command, 1 find that the aggregate amount of the expenditures of our own Government, from 1739 to March 4, 1343, is $1,111,375,731. Now patriotic Americans ! will you not read this reflectingly ! of this vast sum there have been expended only $143,G20,033 for citil purposes, embracing the Civil List, Foreign Intercourse, and the Miscellaneous expenses. Then it follows that $9G2,733,030 have been lavished upon preparations for war in the time of peace, within a little more than half a century, by this model Republic!!! Another fact: From Jan. 1, 1330, to March 3, 1313, the war expenses of this Government were $153,904,681 ! ! five mii'ions more than all the civil expenses of the gov ernment from 1 39 to 1943 ! ! Another Tact : From 1S10 to 1S34, eighteen years, our national expenses amounted to $iU3,915,75G ; and of this sum, nearly 840,000,000 went in one way and another for war, and only Jj! 04, 000,000 fur all other objects ! being' twenty millions a year for war, and about three miflions and a half less than one sixth of the whole for the peaceful operations of a government that plumes itself oa its pacific policy ! If we take into account all the expenses and all the losses of war to this country, it will be found to have wasted for us, in sixty years, some tiro or three IhousonJ millions of dollars ! Popular Prejudices. We are apt to suppose, from the amount of popular prejudice, which is daily encountered by those who would promulge useful intelligence, that we are not improving in this resect. Tlie error, for such it is, arises from the fact of our assuming too short periods of time, through which to apply the rule : by going somewhat further back our progress is ehown iu bold relief. lue well known proceedings at Boston, in regard to the eraall-pox, in 1721, furnishes a good illustration, in point : This disease had been very destructive there, and no preventive of it was then known. Learning, from Europe, that by diet and then inoculation the fury of the disease could be much abated, say the historians of the day, Dr. Zabdiel jjoylston, of Boston, in the year above, resolved to try it, and bejran in his own family. ,4Many bigoted people were struck with hor ror; they considered it as trusting to tlie arts of man rather than to Providence ; and declared that if any, on whom the experiment was tried, should die, Boyl styn ought to be treated as a murderer. The popu lace was so enraged, that the family were hardly safe in their own house, and the doctor was insulted as he passed the streets "Many of the faculty joined the wild opposition : several pieces, treating the practice with con tern ut. were puuii5ied ia the newspapers; and the magis- . - a . trates ot the town viewed the experiment as attended f .1- . a 1 nf ?Lnvhrv. bavin been nrivatelir inoculated. in Dr. Mather's hous, in Boston, and it becoming known, an incendiary, in the night, threw a charged j j B r j hand-grenade into the chamber occupied by the gen tleman ; but fortunately the fire was extinguished in passing through the window. The opposition was so great that a bill passed the House of Representatives, prohibiting all persons from inoculation: but the Council had sene to reject it." In spite of the clam ior, Boylston persevered, and finally prevailed over the prejudices that opposed him. During this contest, there was a meeting of the select men and some physicians for consultation upon the subject, and tlie result of this conference is relat ed by another pen. It was as follows : "That it appears, by numerous instances, that in oculation has produced tne death ot many persons soon after the operation, and brought distempers upon many others, wliich; in the end have proved deadly to them that the natural tendency of infusing such malignant filth into the mass of blood, is to corrupt and putrify it, and if there be not a sufficient dis charge of that malignity, by the place of incision or elsewhere, it lays a foundation It many dangerous diseases that the continuing the operation among us, is hkely to prove of the most dangerous conse quences." Had our worthy and conscientious ancestors at that time seen a steamboat or rail road locomotive "about in their parts," we know not how much horror they might have felt at the idea of such evidence of "trust in to the arts of man" to accomplish what even now is beyond our reach, save through the agencies of these recent applications of science to the arts. But our national character, whether for good or for evil has been greatly developed 6ince that day of pnmi tive soberness and etaid demeanor. Boston Times. New Mode of Curing the Ham. An English traveller writing from Ardennes, thua describes a method of preserving the bam, which is certainly different from any thing generally known in America The Lam is cured in a brine of salt, saltpetre, and aromatic herbs viz : a few bay leaves, wild thyme, and a handful of juniper berries, and a little garlic. It is steeped for about six weeks, and then dried in the smoke of a chimney over a wood fire. When wanted for dressing it is buried in the ground for about twenty-four hours, and then boiled, with the addition of the same aromatic herbs, in the water. A Her boiling, the bone is taken out and the ham is pressed under a heavy weight. As a corrollary to the dressing, it may bo added, that it often happens that the ham, when produced at table, disappears at one sitting. An instrument has been invented in England, call ed "Carson's Meat l'reserver." It consists of a sy ringe, having a sharp pointed nipple, the sides of which are pierced with a number of small holes. The syringe is to be filled with brinej which it forces out of the small holes through the whole body of a piece of meat into which the point has been pressed ; and tlie operation or pickling is thua thoroughly perform ed in a few minutes. A Rail Road is now in operation from Cincinnati to Xeuia, and proposals are invited for the continuance of the same to Columbus. The Cleveland people are moving for the construction of a Rail Road from that city to Columbus ; thua completing a Rail Road con munication from the Ohio river at Cincinnati, to Cleveland. There is already 1 Canal in operation from Fortsmouth (on tlie Ohio) to Cleveland. On the lüth September the subscription to the New York and Erie railroad stock amounted to $'- 000,0U0, and several "heavy men" were anxious to obtain the rest. It is expected that the road will be completed in three years from next spring. It will be the longest railroad in the world, and will bring Cincinnati within less thin three, days of New York. The cost of the work is estimated at $3,tXK),0(X). Electricity is snid to be a successful remedy for the fflccts of poison. A person who had taken two I ounce of laudanum has been perfectly restored by it.

Gbahd Battle is Cibcassia. Intelligence, via Odessa, haa been received of a battle between the Circassian forces under Schamill Bay, and the Radian army (50,000 strong) under General U oronzou, who attacked the town of Dargo, the head quarters of Shamill. After five hard days bard fighting tbe Circassians were obliged to abandon the fortress to the enemy, having expended all tbeir ammunition, not, however, wilhour carrying off their artillery and baggage into the mountains. The loss on the part of Russia is said to amount in killed alone to 8,000 among whom are three genera! and forty other officers, and four aides-de-camp of the commander-in-chief. The latter, finding his army so much crippled, for the number of wounded is enormous, was destroying the fortifications to retire to Tiflis, to reorganize his force. Dargo was defended by Schamill regular troops, consisting of a corps of Dagasten infantry, and the Kusaiaa aau roli.-n deserter from tne lumper or service It was predicted by many, wheu the Railroad should be completed beyond this place, the etfect would be seriously salutary upon the trading portion of this community, and the impetus to business be withdrawn ; but in this we are pleased to say they were widely mistaken. Our flourishing village presents anv other aspect than a decline in business, or a depression of spirits on the part ol our business men.

After all, the book is not worth the fuss it has made. It will hurt no body but the publisher. It is very much to the honor of such active politicians as Bogardus, Furdy, Morris and Lawrence, that the theft and publication of these most private acts should only prove them reliable friends and clear beaded men, and as Yankee Hill would 6ay, nothing else." We are rather astonished to see how such capital managers have done so much work without soiling their hands.

An indignation meeting was held in consequence, and he moved away during tlie week under threats of tar and feathers. WiNTEEiXG Cattle. So excessive has been the drought in northern Ohio, that many of tbe large slock farmers in that region have gone to tlie southern part of the State to provide for wintering their cattle. Gen. Ford, of Geauga county, has determined on taking his cattle to Madison county, to be fed during the winter. Bishop Soule, of the Methodist Episcopal Church says, that during the last year there was a decreaseof 45,430 in the northern section and of Ü,7U3 in the southern section w hich he ascribes to the contentions and schisms which have agitated the church.

We print the numbers as fast as tbe proceedings of Congrts furnish enough matter Tor a number. During tbe first month or fix weeks of a session, there is ranly more business done than will make one number of the Congressional Globe and one number of the Appendix a week ; but during the remainder of a sewon there is usually sufficient matter for two or thiee nun beis cf each every wetk. The next session will be a long one, and it is supposed will b uuntuallr interesting; therefore, we calculate that tbe Congressional Gkbe and Appendix will each make near one thousand large quarto pages, printed in small type brevier and nonpareil We fuiijiäh complete indexes to both at the end of a ses ion.
