U" The State Sentinel of Tuesday has a homily on the Union of church nnd state, a kin'd of school boy's debate on this shadow of a bugbear. Of course it is about the three thousand clergymen who have so strongly protested against Mr. Douglas's bill—a blow that did more to disconcert and terrify the Senator than all others put together—simply because it came as a concentrated expression of tho moral sense of the North. Douglas in his vexation, on the introduction of the Protest into the Senate, rose and denounced it as an "atrocious falsehood"—a» exclamation almost excusable in him, because when a man receives a death blow, wc ought not to criticisc his groans too severely. But the idea of the Sentinel coolly and demurely stigmatizing throe thousand clergymen, as ignorant and deceitful, many of whom, such as

-tioned the other day, says the Chicago Tribune, that a very ridiculona hoax had gained Borne credit in Canada, in relation to an anticipated invasion of that country, by the Czar of Rusnia, via the United States. It appears that the provincial papers treat the subject with a great deal of serious consideration, and betray their fears by recommending large additions tolhe number of British troops stationed in the provinces. The source from which sprung all this excitement, and which seems to have caused •o much fear and trembling among the Canadian population, was a dodge on the part of a quack doctor to advertise his nostrums. It appears that he became aware that the British Government had ordered the seizure of all letters suspected of being intended for Russia, and he accordingly wrote a letter to the Czar, which contained the programme of operations, a« given in the articles of the Toronto papers. Of course the letter was seized, read, and its author, just as he intended, promptly arrested. He was taken before the Quebec authorities for examination, and on being searched, a letter purporting to have come from the Emperor of Russia was found in his possession, fjome time elapsed before it could be properly translated, but when thttt task^was accomplished, it was found tefbe simply an order for a large quantity of the proprietor's quack medicines, ty be sent to the Emperor immediately. The letters will of course go the rounds of the Canada papers, and the doctor's dodge will no doubt.bo succcssful. *i

O* A correspondent of tho Tribune, gives some interesting items in connection with^the Ncbrakn, bill: for example, -t .."Mr. Benton says tho bill will bo defeated, ife declares he does not know how, but. thnt it will be, he is pertain. Such wrong as it meditates, he says, never docs triumpn. Ho will speak, but he says he shall not speak out of order, nor over liia time.. Ho wants but. an hour he says, to destroy it before the people, and that hour he proposes certainly to occupy, for he says he will It ill the bill mid write its epitaph. "Yes air," in his b'xvii IrttfgoMge, "tho bill will bo sent to h—, sir* and its authors will bo sent there with it, sir." Of its principal author he expresses the profouridest contempt. "Sir" said he, the meanest man in our country, is a poor white man, who rrtnrries a woman with niggers. He is uot allowed to associate with gentlemen, sir. He is hooted off the Court House Green, sir. Wo have nothing to do with him, sir."
Mr. Douglas continues to be full of Nebraska. He has every man in the House of Representatives marked and numbered, and firmly believes the bill will go through by a decisive majority. ITe feels that if it does go,'he makes a great strike, ahd that his fortunes are made bat that if it

SHIP-BUIMJINO
AXD
LUMBERING
We learn from the Bangor Mercury that the aggregate of ship-building in Maine during the year 1853, was 169,578 tons, which was divided mainly among vessels of the first class. The present value of this fleet, being at least $60 per ton, would amount to $10,174,573. At the commencement of the year, Maine owned, enrolled and registered in her own ports, over 600,000 tons of shipping, the aggregate earnings of which were probably at the rate of $9,000,000 per annum. Allowing $9,000^000 for the earnings of the shipping of Maine during the last year, anct$5,087,286 for the n'ett value of tho ships built, we have, says the Mercury, the amount of $14,087,286 earned or gained by the shipping interest of the State in 1853. The same paper estimates the nett earnings of Maine in the lumber business, to have been $7,000,000, which, added to the profits of the shipping business, gives an aggregate of $21,087,286 as the profits of these two branches of business in Maine. r*."r ,l
NEW YORK, March 25.
The passage of the Maine liquor bill, in the Assembly, to day excites an universal enquiry as to the course the Governor will pursue in the premises. Extraordinary efforts, no doubt, will be made to induce him to apply tho veto, but the immense majority with which the bill has been passed, in both branches, the friends of the measure are confident will not permit him to succumb. In any event, however. do not be surprised if there is a vote of two-thirds to pasB the bill in case of a veto.
On Wednesday morning there was an attempt made by two persons to assassinate Mr. Cassidy, editor of the Crusader, an anti-Bedi-ni paper, while in his own office. The attempt was the result of a conspiracy of which he had received warning, and consequently had policemen in waiting. The couspitatora were arrested and committed.

The Violin Triclc.
Some days ago there presented himself before a dealer in curiosities, at the Palais Royal, a yoangtnan poorly clothed. "Sir," said he, showing a violin which he carried, "I a musical artiste this- is the season of balls, soirees I have just bad a long illness, which has exhausted my purse my only black coat is in pawn I would be much obliged if you will'lend me ten francs to'redeem it. I would, leave as security one of the violins you see, for I have two. It is an excellent instrument, I will return to take it again as soon as, thanks to my coat, I shall have earned some money at balls and parties/' The young man had such an lion est bearing that the dealer lent him ten francs and kept the violin, which he hung up in his shop.
The next day but one, a gentleman,, well dressed, wearing at his button-hole the riband of the legion of honor, was choosing from the dealer's stock of goods some shell work._ Seeing the violin, he took it up,-examined it narrowly.. "What is the price of this instrument?" safdlie. "Itis not mine," replied the shop-keeper and he related how he cam^to

He is a needy artist who, it may be, will be obliged, and who can play just as well on another violin." Then handing fifty francs to the shopman, the unknwn added, in taking his leave, "You will keep_ that for yourself if the affair succeeds^*! will return in a few days."
Two days after, the young man re appeared bringing the ten francs to redeem his violin, for which the dealer offered him two hundred francs. Aftersomehesitation^heagreed pocketed the the money and withdrew, lamenting the sad necessity which compelled him to part with his favorite instrument. At the end of a week the dealer, not iving seen the decorated gfcntlemail, became suspicious. He carried the violin to an instrument-maker, who offered him three francs for it. He acknowledged then, though a little late, that he had been the dupe of two adroit khaves, whom he described to the police.—Translated from Le Courier des Etats Unit. ,9 J9 _1.

following singular ciicumstance: While in Arabia I had a very remarkable experience. There is a drug in the East whose effect is like that of opium, it is prepared from the Indian hemp. It was much used by the Saracen warriors when about to enter a battle, as a stimulus. It produces on the imagination a double consciousness: one part of the triiiid seems to study while the other looks on. From motives of curiosity, I was persuaded to try the effects of it on my own system. 1 was in Damascus at the time. Soon after taking the drug tire effect began to appear. 1 saw the furniture in the room, talked with the company, and yet I seemed to be near the-pyramid of Cheops, whose blocks of stone appeared to me like hugfe squares of Virginia tobacco. The scene changed and I was on the deseft in a boat made of the mother of pearl. The sarfd seemed tcf be grains bf lustrous gold, through which ray boat fart as easily as on the waves of the sea the air seemed filled with-harmonies of the sweetest music the atmosphere tfas filled with light,

The finer senses were developed, aud all gratification was a single harmonious sensation.— Hence we can easily conceive the origin of the Arabian Nights. My companion, a huge Kentuckian, tried the drug with an amusing effect. After looking at me for a while, he started up with the exclamation, "I'm a locomotive,'" and began to cut off his words like the puff of an engine, and to work like the moving of the wheels.— At last he seized the water-jug for a drink, but set it down with a yell, saying, "how Can I take water into my bpi]er when I

lioERiBLE TRAGEDY IN SHASTA COLNT\— Two White Men and Thirteen Chinamen Murdered by the Jndia?is.—We find the following account of a horrible tragedy committed by the Indians, in. the Sacramento Journal: "Two white men, one named Guild, the bther, Ingalls, while on a prospecting tour, in company with nineteen Chiiiai&en, Fere murdered on McCloud's river, twenty miles east of Pittsburg, Shasta county, by the Indians.— They were encamped and fifteen Indians came into the camp*^The white men's guns were stacked near them. The Indians appeared friendly at first, but at a word from the chief they seized the guns and ran with them. Ingalls seized a club and struck the hindmost Indiafi and knocked him down. The Indians immediately commenced firing on Guild and Ingalls, and also at the Chinamen. A party started out immediately and found the body of Ingalls one arm cut off at the elbow, nnd his head smashed up horribly with stones. The£ also found the bodies of thirteen Chinamen three had their arms cut off, and all their heads had been smashed in with

They 6aw tracks which they supposed to be his, leading down to the river, also blood trailing along.— They also saw marks of an aSe, which they supposed he fought with, atfd thejr supposed hd jufllpcd into the river. From appearances somo of the Cbinarffeh had fought lik6 tTgero, the ground around them being completely trodden down.".
cr Three Societies have been formed in various parts of New England, for the purpose of planting shade-trees by the road side. All the roads leading to Boston from the surrounding villages will soon be lined with them* The example is worthy of imitation. Ennius says that he who plaftts a tree is a benefactor of pos terity. But in this thrifty clime, an old man may plant si tfee, and enjoy its shade long before he,dies. The people of TerreIlauto have hitherto shown a becoming taste it this respect, and the abundance of otir ornamental trees, has done more than any thing else to secure for it the reputation of being tho handsomest town west of the mountain#, Yet we have many streets entirely barren of foliage.

Letter of Ko»sutla.
In the New York Tribune of the 25th, we find a letter from Kossuth, addressed to the German population of the U. States. The chief object of the letter is to extol the character of Geo. N. Sanders, Ameri* can consul at London by appointment of President Pierce, but rejected by the Sen* ate and recalled, whose republican principles meet the most extravagant praiso of the distinguished Writer. From the letter we copy tiite concluding paragraphs.—?
Banner^ .1#
"When I left America, I bequeathed ths seed which I had sown, for raisitig up sympathy for the liberty of Europe, especially to the nursing of the Germah citizens of America for it is they who1 combine the republican principles of their new home with love for the old father-land and tlie free future of the dear old fathersland is a solidarity with the futUre bf the other nationalities of Europe. "We have now arrived at the critical period predicted by me, when this future is to be decided for centuries to come.—1 One grain mofe thrown into the scale may decide it. Therefore, 1 address you, sir,beseeching you so to exercise your influence, and that of your friends, that, by the means bf the press as well fis by fiieet«(' ings of distinct tendency, the will of the* people may manifest itself in this affair in, such a way as is npw so necessary, that tiie heavy blows which the Senate has unintentionally dealt out to Europeafi liberty may be remedied, and the scbrnful ridicule of the despots be changed into a triumph for the republicans of Europe." rf
