THE RESURRECTED CHICAGO REPUH-LICAN.--That spicy and readable daily, the Chicago Republican, has arisen "phoenix-like," etc., and once more illuminates our sanctum with its sparkling wit. "Mack," its talented chief editor, hassustained a heavy loss, as has hitherto appeared in these columns, but he has an inexhaustible stock of that which has characterized his whole newspaper life, and which cannot be taken from him, undaunted energy and pluck. Out of the ruins of the old office will soon arise a paper rivalling the former Jtepubliean in all that makes a journal successful. May success ever attend the resurrected sheet, is the wish of the Terre Haute Daily GAZETTE.
As an instance of life we clip the following extracts: "Strangers are not so numerous in the city as they wore. They have gone home, satisfied that since the recent "warmness" Chicago as a ruin is a great sucess.
The entire list of our daily and weekly subscribers having been consumed in the late fire we will take it as a favor if our exchanges will announce the fact and request parties having paid their subscription to either edition to notify us, stating as nearly as possible the date of expiration of same, amount paid, ftc. This is the only way in which we hope to collect these valuable lists and thus keep faith with our subscribers, which it is our intention and anxious desire to do. Our weekly edition will be issued as soon as practicable.
I'o the Editor Terre Haute Gazette: DEAR SIR I wonder how the many hundreds of respectable merchants and citizens, who are daily readers of your paper, will fancy being told by the Express of this morning that your paper is seldom seen by "respectable citizens." Wonder if they do not think themselves quite as "respectable" as the men who throw this insult into their faces I happen to know, Mr. Editor, that of all the sore spots on the much bruised carcass of the Express, there is none so sore to the touch, as that made through the success of the GAZETTE establishment. They grow sorer each day as they find the circulation of their paper dwindling, and their job printing "taking to itself wiugs." They wouldn't feel as badly if they did not know that a very large portion of this lost ciraulation and business goes directly to your office.

A READER OF THE GAZETTE.
To the City Editor Gazette We cannot forbear speaking a few words in commendation of what you said in your paper of yesterday regarding the outrageous behavior of Samuel McDonald and his modcst(?) little request, made iu such a "proper manner," that his name be withheld from the public. We wish to thank you in tohalf of this entire commuuityfor your fearlessness in writing down ana showing up the various forms of rascality with which our town is or has been afflcted. Your action appears all the more manly when compared with that of the Express editors, who suppress the name of this precious loafer according to their "trntai custom." Let poor, unfortunate, friendless women, be brought up before his Honor the Mayor and fined for misbehavior and it will soon appear that their
usual custom'1 in such cases is not only to publish their names, but also to indulge iu a variety of choice pharasaical epithets. Such conduct is disgraceful, but what care the thick-skinned editors of the Express for that
Yours, Y. Z.

PROF. AGASSIZ says that all the materials on which agricultural processes depend are decomposed rocks, not so much rocks, that underlie the soil, but those on the surface and brought from a considerable distance, and ground to powder by the rasp of the glacier. Ice all over the continent is the agent that has ground out more soil than all other agencies put together. The penetration of water into the rocks, frost, running water, and baking'suns, have done something, but the glaciers more. In a former age, the whole United States was covered with ice several thousand feet thick, and this ice moving from north to south by the attraction of tropical warmth, or pressing weight of ice and snow behind, ground the rocks over which is passed into the paste we call the soil. These masses of ice can be tracked as surely as game is tracked by the huuter. He had made a study of them iu this country as far south as Alabama, but had observed the same phenomenon, particularly in Italy, where, among the Alps, glaciers are now in progress. The stones and rocks ground and polished by the glaciers, can easily be distinguished from those scratched by running water. The angular bowlders found in meadows and the terraces of our rivers not reached by water can be accounted for only in this way.
MEN who isolate themselves from society and have no near and dear family ties, are the most uncomfortable of human beings. Byron says that "happiness was born a twin," but the phrase, although pretty ana poetic, does not go far enough. We are gregarious and not intended to march through life either in a single or double file. The man who cares for nobody and for whom nobody cares, has nothing to live for that will pay for the keeping of the body and soul together. You must have a heap of embers to have a glowing fire. Scatter them apart and they will become dim and cola. So, to have a brisk, vigorous life, you must have a group of lives to keep each warm, to allord mutual encouragement, confidence And support. If you wish to live the life of a man and not of a fungus, be social, be brotherly, be charitable, be sympathetic, and labor earnestly for the good of your kind.
WELL if you must know the origin of the "goose hangs high," here it is. You know the large dark goose, called the "Canada goose." These birds always fly northward in flocks in the early spring time, and are under a leader, who heads the column, and at brief intervals gives off a deep dull cry, honk—honk—hotfk! From this note they are called in the West and Southwest "honkers." If the weather is fair and prospect ahead pleasant. these geese fly straight northward high in air, the leader "honking" loudly as he flies: but, if otherwise, they fly lower, and in anticipation of storms, break up their harrow-shaped organization, and look for a place of alighting. Thence comes the expressive and forcible expression, "Everything is lovely and the goose honks high the word honks having been misunderstood or corrupted into "bangs" by the whites who heard it. It has been heard years ago as usedby the negroes in the Mississippi Valley.
SACRAMENTO, Cal. has had a sensation. ThQ Reporter of that city narrated that a beautiful maiden, dressed in the bight of fashion, had been discovered campiug in the brush outside street, and subsisting on peanuts and potatoes. The policemen immediately armed themselves and went on a journey of investigation. They found the innocent young thing, but, alas for the romance of it! She was over thirty years old, so dmnk that she conldn't articulate, and, as for her dress, it was like that of the man who kissed the maiden all forlorn. She was the beautiful unknown of Sacramental
FAR up in the mountains of the Arctic regions, a Anndfed miles from the sea, the ice glaciers are formed. This gradually presses towarfi the sea until a great cliff of ice overhang the water whose tides have worn away its base, when it suddenly snaps asunder with more than thunder sound and foils into the ocean. 8hips miles away feel the shock. After righting itself with eight times its whole length below the surface, and carrying tons of the rock and soil of the mountains it begitis its voyage south ward to be gradually melted by the warmth of more Southern climes.
'THE pneumatic car, a recent inven®bn, Which Is nothingmore nor less than a locomotive driven by compressed air, is likely to prove a success. It is especially intended for operating railroads where horse-power is now used. It can be used oft streets with less noise, no smoke, and leas damage of explosions. It requires but little skill to operate it.

The two political parties of this city and county, in view of the present calamity ana condition of affairs growing out of the great fire, are trying to unite upon a Union ticket for city and county offices, to be voted for at the election which takes place two weeks hence.

There is some excitement among polygamists as to Hawkin's fate. The court room this morning was thronged with women.

WASHINGTON, Oct, 21.—The Cabinet session to-day was brief. The subject of the recapture of the schooner Horton was not mentioned. There was a conversation in relation to* the Hornet. Our Government sustains the oonrae of Min*
ister Bassett in his complaint to the Haytien Government of a breach of neutral rights by Spaniards, in his case, and has, through the Secretary of State, informed the Spanish minister of its views on the subject. Whatever offence the Hornet may have commited, after she had given bonds to the Uuited States, is considered a question to be settled by the authorities of this country, on proper proofs, especially as she carries the American flag, and therefore possesses a national character. The. Government sees no necessity for the use of force, as the entire matter is undergoing a peaceable adjustment.
