Inoculation with "Caustic Issues," now creating so much excitement and wond?r among the medical savns of Europe and the United .S ates from tlie s-implicify of its character, was not discovered by a distinguished Uerlin physician, but by an American physician, well known in this country. - It vr:is sent by him to the leading mimls of this country and Europe, as far back as 1847, and is gradual
ly being tried as a successful and practical experiment then. It is now t-eeking its way into the Prussian and Russian urmies, and ere long will nod'jubt be introduced into Austria, France and England. It will extend itself with electrical effect over the world as the opposite of vaccination, entirely neutralizing another pestilence. I( i- noticed by physicians as a singular fact that Hmall px precedes and succeeds this Asiatic cholera. Tlie late Russian Minister, Bodisoo, introduced it to the at ten ion of the Emperor of Russia, a year prior to his demise. As a successful experiment it is now showing itself in practical illustrations of its preventive1 power, in insulated instances over this country, and will, no dubi hereafter become a fixed fact. This simple process will, when introduced, be the means of saving large sums to European governments, together with the lives of their soldiers. The discover receives as a re ward, so noticed by Europe an presses, Diplomas from each of the Universities, together with jewels taken from the crown of each monarch. The prizes through alt Europe, offered since 1819, lor an "absolute and reliable preventive" of this pestilence, and that have been accumulating since 1819, amount to the sum of i 48,000. The prizes are to be awarded by Napoleon III, subject to the decision of the Royal Academy of Medicine, Pans. Albany Argus. JtW The Chicago Press, a leading Democratic paper in Michigan, takes comfort as follows, in the chastisement recently visited upon the party in Iowa: This result is not unexpected, nor have we any crocodile tears to shed over it. The leaders of the Democratic party tried to make the repeal of ths Missouri Compromise a test question, and the people floored them for their iniquity. Whenever our party is right, we are ready to take off our coat and work for it with mind, voice. heart, arm and pen. But when it plants itself upon a great wrong, ana corrupt leaders seen to seduce the rank and file from the ancient landmarks of Democracy, then we think that a good drubbing is the best possible thing that could happen for it. This is what has happened in Iowa, and we do not grieve a particle over it. "Ze Nebraska Bill. rWe presume the poor Frenchman alluded to in the following anecdote is not tne only one who has been 'nerplexed in the extreme' at the philosophy of 'Ze Nebraska Bill,! Among our numerous acquaintances, we have the honor of being rather intimate with a gentleman from France, who is endeavoring' to become acquain ted with all the details 0 the Atnejiean system of 'v.f Ma Ae Slavery ni now go to e ieDrasKa: queried he. The friends of the bill in the north say it will not go there.' But ze slavery may go zare if he like, eh?" Yes, but we are doubtful of its going there.' But ze law is he may go zare? Ze law says he 'ave a right to go zare?' Yes.' And ze men vat make ze bill says he will not go zare . Yes.'

Stowe, in her recent book of travels in Europe, makes the following sensible remarks about the comparative beauty of the women of England and America: A 1-..K- aLo.l m the other cvenincr. what I thought ot the Deauty oi me ladies 01 me .ii.km. arisuxiracv; she was a Scotch lady, by the by, so thf. th nueslion was certainly a lair one. 1 replied tha. certainly report had not exaggerad their charms, liien came a home question oi America, ".viw luru, pnoi.Mii, a im myself, and invoking to my aid certain fair saunsj of "' w" eouiury, whose laces I distinctly re-; membered.

If it is the coal and seafog. why,! then I am afraid we shall never come up with I them. But perhaps there may he other causes! why a country which starts some of the most' beautiful girls 111 the world, produces so few beau- j tiful women.

Have not the, immense amount of hot biscuits, hot corn cakes, j and other compounds got up with the acrid poi-; son of saleratus something to do with it? Above i all, has not our climate, with its alternate ex- j LUI 1 j-i c 1 - tremes of heat and cold, a tendency to induce habits of indolence. Climate, certainly, has a great deal to do with it; ours is evidently more trying andmore exhausting, and because it is so, we should not pile upon its back errors of dress and diet which are avoided by our neighbors. They keep their beauty because they keep their health.

This foreign secret organization prevniln in lliix enunlrv tr. an vtlMt that frtw man dream of, but its mefrfbers. The whole city of Cincinnati, lias recently been excited about an imaginary order of "Know Nothings," said to be composed ol Americans and 1'rotestants, whose! object is the preservation of the Bible, the perpetuauon ol Uieir rehsnon. and Drotection airainst the encroachments of the Papal Power. And this American oriranization has been denounced by leading Democratic editors as a "secret band of conspirators against the rights and liberties of the American people," while their lips are hermeti cally sealed with regard to a secret organization, of which the Pope- is the great head, and the members of which acknowledge allegiance to no power on earth save the Pope of Rome. . And yet these secret bands of foreign conspirators against the rights, liberties and religion of the American people, are permitted to meet in secret conclave, plot and counterplot, and not one word of denunciation do we hear from the political press while the secret American associations organized for the protection of the Bible and the defence of the religion of home, are anathematised as anti-republican and dangerous to the liberties of the country. Political demagogues will soon begin to discover that there is a power in this country greater than that of the Jesuits, and that hereafter no man can hope to attain to official position at the hands of the American peo- f pie who is not wholly free from the 'entangling alliances' with the foreign ecclesiastical power which seeks the overthrow of Protestantism aud Republicanism. Cin. Com. The Disgraceful Night Session. Hon Gerritt Smith, in a long letter to his constituents, compares the nirht session of Congress at which the Nebraska Bill was passed, to a scene in a dram shop. He speaks of it with unaffected mortification: As the friend of temperance, both my lips and example shall ever testify against any night session . of Congress, that is tiot called for by the clearest "necessity. What if the majority had appointed the taking of the vote on the Nebraska qucstioi in a dram shop? Would you have had. me pr ' 't . "". JkT ;Vili.. il CUbi Wi HVyr a vi V'j, e i c J -s jvnwjuaiu t-ua j . -r . - a s 1 a. bill was taken; and 1 was well convinced mat; Congress should avoid all unecessary night ses- i sion, until Congress loves temperance more, and ' rum less. Never did I witness more gross drunk- j ardness than I witnessed on that occasion. lj had to remain until 1 1 o'clock for I had to remain until I could record my vote ;i,'ainst the ! Pro-Slavery bill. After that I hurried away, full j of shame and sorrow. ' ; It so happened that Lord Elgin, fhet Governor of Canada, sat by my side, for an hour or more, r 1 II . Tl.. I during that evening 01 saa recollections, xue. I drunkenness was perceived by him as well as by myself. I might rather say, it glared upon his observation, as well as uxn my own. It was, certainly, very kin land polite in him to tell me, as he did, in tlie course of our conversation respecting this disgraceful scene, that he Lad witnessed shameful disorder in the British Parliament. Nevertheless, his politeness and kindness did not relieve me of my deep mortification. Destruction of Grevtown. A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune furnishes the following incident of the destruction of Grevtown, which may inspirit some of the Slaveite presses to a defence of that glorious job. The vindication of Borland's honor would have been dearlv purchased with a minute's discomfort to any holiest man, and to-secure it with the torture of inoffensive women, and the destruction of poor people' huts, is disgraceful even to so miserable an Administration as that we now endure: It was painful to witness- the suffering occasioned bv this bombardment antf burning. One case came under our no'icc of a very distressing character. Among the American residents was aboitnvin by the name of Clark a soldier and wounded at the bn'tle of Buena Viv.a who, with his wife, had been some time at Grevtown. and acquired buildings ami property worth probably 8 3,X. Mrs. Clark had been ill of tlie fever of the country, and from the exposure and privations during "the attack and the burning of her dwelling over her nena, a siroKec-i pnraiysis was induced which rendered her utterly helpless arid thus for two weeks had she been in uit-spn-akable agony, without medical attendance or comforts of any kind. Her cries could be heard for a considerable distance from the temporary hovel hastily set up to shelter her from the- sun and rain. It was indeed a piteous case to see me tears course down the cheeks 01 tne man, ana 10 hear his imprecations upon the Government which destroyed his property, in requital for hisblood shed in the battles of his country. Surely there is a wrong to be redressed. The late Gen. Towson. The following is a brief biographical sketch oft the life of the late Gen. Towson, given in the columns of a cotemporary: Gen.

We have lat a particle of doubt of the authenticity of he above. It seems to us in fact, that it has vry decisive internal evidence of truthfulness. It came to us from a legitimate, and we btdievnWo source. Mr. Robinson, it appears, pledsd hinielf to abide the rules and regulations of the Know Nothings. Perhaps he proposed to tae the "awful oa'hs" upon which he now dwells with so much unction, that he might learn tlsecreis of the order, and betray them for the god of his country what a patriot. We have tesiaiony of various kinds, which confirms us in Onsidering the document given above authenti. Among other things, it has leaked out in stiet conversation, that the man; who has. accring to the Enquirer, revealed secrets of the Knv Nothings for publication, and certainly pcrjuxl himself in breaking pledges which he took fldcr the solemni'y of serious oaths, or lied mt shockingly about what those oaths were, was member of the old Miami Tribe, and was offended? the Know Nothings because they black-balledliami's. It is reported that he made the follow thr'ea. "I will blow vour infernal : ociety alH h 11 if you dont let my old friends in!" Tl story, rumor, or what ever it is, is corroborate y a passage in the Euquirer of yesterday, wl, 1 says that the majority of the Know Nothing - nniza i m is Whig, and that it is the policy of theHgitiators and managers of the Order to keep tl Democracy in the minority, "by black -LalUnioui thc roll show that they are coming in tolst."

A characteristic feature in the topography of the country underlayed by the mountain limestone, is the frequent occurrence of what in the common Iani'uaire. of the country are denomina- - . i ted "sink holes." They are inverted cones or lunnei-snaped concat 111c sometimes irregular in their outlines, but most generally approaching to a circular form. At the bottom there is always an oneniiiL' eoinmunicatinr with subterranean I nassaires throuirh which th rhich the surface water, in limes ot heavy rains, is conuucieu uownwaru, 10 ie great reservoirs which discharge them- ' s.-K es a.t tliH lar r,. snrinirs DeCUliar to this lormation. The principle on which these excavations are made, is a very simple one. At first a mere fissure exists in the stone beneath, through which the rainwater from the surface, fully saturated with carbonic acid, finds its ' 21$8Xt&YZ exposed surfaces of the fissure are dissolved ami carried away, thus at once saturating all the spring water wun carbonate of lime, and widenITV'f tllA fl1irfa until ta 1 V. large that the incumbent earth be-rins to fall into --. waa 7 uuui lilt 1 T I lUH IJtM I I II I ff " K tit it, which in turn is borne away by the increased, volume of water collected bythe' funnel-shaped I depression on the surface thus produced, until the j face of the country becomes dotted over with! these "sink holes," and subterranean caverns abound. !

about 7.0UO acres of coal lands on the imme- : diate bank of the Ohio river. About 00.000 bushels of coal are mined annually at this point, the greater part of which is consumed by steam boats on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. In the proximity to an infallible market, and in the enenrv and amnio raoital of the com nan v. consists the'main advantage of Cannellon as a miaine i locality.

It varies in thickthis would furursh fuel for the City of Cin cinnati for at least ten years. And yet this Cannel ton field has not by a try means the largest supply in the State. Other localities have at lat three workable seams, lying one above another, making an aggregate of from 12 to 15 feet of ool,. or more than three hundred millions of bushels per square mile. For common purposes of fuel, for making steam, and indeed for all uses except the work ing of metais, there are few better coals anjwi,.re than the Catinelton vsriotv! and vet I nre ; dict that when No8. , an( 3 are extensively worked on the Wabash they will furnish an article way inferior to the Caauttlwa. But itaul LatsJf Hive manufactories shall have created a demaad for these, Carwidton will have the advantage of a ready market on the Ohio river. Tlie priee of coal delivered on boat at Cannelton is 7 cents per bushel, or $196 per ton. The factory at that place pay s but about 4' cents per bushel by contract; but coal is now selling at 7 cents on the Wabash and Erie Canal, above Montezuma, and the demand greatly exceeds the stapply.
