Fo*»it Folly.

The gulliblcs are opening their mouths very wide in astonishment at the announced discovery of a human skeleton in New Orleans sixteen feet under ground, "below a succession of four fossil cypress for ests, to each of which the age of 14,400 years is given." 80 this fossil bony-part has been packed in mud over 50,000 years!

There is a certain class of scientifics now-a-days, who are racking their brains to draw from natural science, if possible, some plausible argument agains' the revelation of God and this is one of the attempts. For we see appended to the no tice from which we extract the above, the remark that "the theologian must either disprove this statement or admit anew exegesis of Holy writ." Now this sounds very Irttrned. and Mrs. Partington, and other old ladies of both sexes, will doubtless rub their spectacles nnd rend it the second time, not stopping lo use their common sense, by calling to mind the fact that the Mississippi is overflowing its banks every year and that this antique skeleton is the frame-work of a British soldier, or of a Wabash boatman whose father is yet alive. If some men would make half the etFort to believe, that they do to disbelieve, they would be far wisef as well as happier. It inquires a larger faith to swallow this Orleans skeleton with the four cypress forests, than it does to believe the whole bible, King James's preface, Apocrypha, Family Register and all.

Wondorful Geological Discovery, A fossil frog has been discovered in the Wabash bottom several feet below the surface, with lialfa dozen strata of mud above him to the formation of which, according to well established geological principles, a period of G,000 years, each, may be attributed. When this astounding anteAdamic fossil was brought to light, all the live frogs gathered around it and exclaimed, "Pentateuch! Pentatcuch! Og! Hum

bug! Enoch! Abimelech! Bulak! Amalek! Amalek! thus expressing their utter disbelief in the Mosaic history. Theologians will have to disprove this new fact in science, before they can go along.

Some inquiry has been made about tho case in Congress, and a communication from the President contains a letter from the American Minister at Vienna, stating that "Mr. Richmond was lingering at*Perth for no other purpose than to continuo his serio-comic warfare with the Austrian authorities."— Mr, R. has always been an enthusiastic andeceentric man, and is probably courting notoriety.

BAD DEBTS.—IlunFS Merchant's Magazine advocates the passage of an act abolishing all law for tho collection of debt, except where property is transferred for its security the property so transferred to be the only legal security on such debt.

The Administration had better be careful how it stirs up the old lion, for his claws are crooked and sharp.

Douglas refused to answer the'question. saying that, when the time came, he would show that the principle laid down in tho message did not conflict with the homestead bill.

Brown expressed his regret that Douglas would not explain how he reconciled his opposition to the bill giving land for the benefit of insane persons, with his advocacy of the homestead bill, which gives land to sane men. lie was afraid the Senator's reputation would sufler, and some persons would say it was because sane men could vote—that he opposed one and favored the other

Douglas replied lartly, anui after further debate, pending the motion to print the message, the Senate adjourned.

BT The oldest book in the United States, it is said, is a manuscript Bible in the possession of Dr. Witherspoon, of Alabama, written over a thousand years ago lie describes it as follows: "The book is strongly bound in boards of the old English oak, and with thongs, by which the leaves arc also well bound together. The leaves are entirely made of parchment, of a most superior quality, of fineness and smoothness little inferior to the best satin. The pages are all ruled with great accuracy, and written with great uniformity and beauty in the old German text hand, and divided off into chapters and verses. The first chapter of every book in the Bible is written with a large capital of inimitable beauty, and splendidly illuminatod witli VH1, \1UO nml blnelt ink, otill in vivid colors and no two of the capital letters in tho book are precisely, alike."

U* Samuel Evans, indicted in Coles county, last October for the murder of his wife, and who took a change of venue to Clark, has at length been admitted to bail and set at large. He was indicted for murder, and the evidence against him was ful ly as strong as that against Ward, and we don't understand the grounds on which lie has been permitted lo escape—for getting bail, in his case, is a clean escape.

FIRE COMPANY.—We are requested to give notice that there will be a meetfng of citizens to-morrow (Wednesday) night, at the City Hull, for the purpose of organizing a permanent Fire Department. Ma ny energetic and thorough-going men, we are informed, are now ready to take hold of this reform with a determination to sec it accomplished.

POPCLAB SAFETY VALVES The tendencies of a republican form of government are perhaps as strong towards radicalism, as those of constitutional monarchies are to absolutism. There is this difference however between them, that while the latter are coerced by distinct branches of the government having conflicting interests, the former -are held in restraint by no ultimate power, the people themselves being both the originators and executors of national" policy. To be sure we have a constitution, which we regard as sacred, and by„which .we profess to be guided: but the student of our history for the last twenty-five years, will not fail lo discover that this venerated magna charta has suffered a good many severe wrenches, and has far more respect paid to it on the fourth of July, than during all the other three hundred and sixty-four days of the year put together. 7

It cannot be disguised that regard for the principles of the constitution is becoming weaker and weaker, riot only among politicians by trade, but among large classes of the people, some of whom have been educated to this looseness of feeling by political agitator's, and others have emigrated into the country and become citizens without ever acquiring those sacred associations with the early history, and primor dial principles of the republic, which form the only basis of true patriotism J#»

Where then lies our safety, and in what consists our security from the tendencies to radical democracy—which is anarchy? We reply—in gas. The natural disposition of men is to quietude and peace, and under a good practical government, they are generally willing to let well enough alone especially while they enjoy the comfortable reflection that when reform is needed they have the remedies at their command—that the tools arc all ready whenever there is any necessity for tinkering.

By gas we mean the privilege of talking. If there is any one thing that gives us a marked national distinction as compared with all other people and kindred and tongues of ancient or modern times, it is that we are a nation of scolders. This practice, so prevalent, is really a public blessing, as it serves to let off the unhealthy secretions of the body politic, before they disarrange the system, and engender in it chronic disease. How many times have we seen men with all the earnestness and passion of a Fox martyr, denounce the government, and announce the near approximation of teetotal ruin, and then go home and sleep soundly and quietly as if under the sedative influence of an anodyne. Such is the relief for individual spleen. But when excitement takes a wider range, and whole communities become restless and rebellious, whether in a good or bad cause, the larger safety valves fly open in the shape of indignation meetings, petitions, remonstrances, and mammoth protests, and tchiz goes the gas, with a roar so sharp that it is heard from one end of the land to the other., 5 "i*.

Thus we see the advantages, in a great country, of the freedom of speech. Where this prevails, there is little danger of political explosion for it is one of the fixed facts of human nature that where there is much talk there is little else."

O" A writer in the Railvcay Times, published in Boston, is advocating the construction of great North and South Railroad lines. He argues that the importance and value of such lines have been overlooked in the excitement of building the great parallel roads connecting the East and West. A system of trunk roads between the North and South would have an excellent effect in the more general diffusion of internal commerce, which is now restricted principally to the two channels of tho Mississippi river and the Atlantic coast, and would tend powerfully to neutralize the sectional jealousies which are every year increasing. t'!| *V5r-» "i

O" The well informed Washington correspondent off the New York Journal of Commerce, writing on the 29th of April, says, the Mexican Minister will despatch Mr. Atocha to Mexico with the'amended project of a treaty. The writer says that no boundary line is spe cified by the Senate, it is only provided that we shall have such a boundary as we may require for the purpose of including a Railroad route. The fate of the ten taillioos is thus specified: "I learn, from the best authority, that two and a half millions are to be paid at once to the British agents, for the interests and instalment due to British creditors of Mexico.— About seven hundred and fifty thousand more lo be paid in New York on account of certain creditors of Mexico another large sum is to be used at once for remittances to Europe, on several accounts." rJ" t-

O" ThteTreceipt* of the Evansvill« and Crawfordsville Railroad, between Evansville and Tineennes. for the six months ending March 31, were $28,874 72. The Viocennes Gazette says: "That the stock in this road will pay well, there is no longer a question or doubt."

pened at the Canal Basin, yesterday morning, just as a crowded boat load of nasceht •'Americans" were starting up the country on a frolicking pic-nic excursion. The national flag was flying at botli ends of the formidable craft, while the spacious port holes were discharging an irresistible broadside of smiles from as merry and bewitching ai row of "cweet sixteen" pounders as ever shot defeat into the face and eyes of the enemies of innocent enjoyment. A delicate band of music, consisting of'a bassMfiol" and a fiddle kept time with the piston strokes of the quadruped locomotives—the proud flags bent a graceful salute to the bridge, and the jovial partv, surrounded with delight and doughnuts, glided away, leaving us to wend our way back with a tickling sensation ofrejuvenescence playing about our heart. 4-r ifa •*. iD* The Baltimore Clipper, alluding to the coming election in this" State says it will doubtless be contested with great spirit, as the Legislature will be called upon to elect a successor to Mr. Pettit in the

U. S. Senate. After speaking of George G. Dunn as a man worthy to be promoted to that office, the Clipper adds:

Among the whigs, Richaad W. Thompson is named—he is pre-eminently qualified for the position, and his election to the Senate would send a thrill of joy to the heart of every true whig from Maine to California.

THE VETO.—The principal point of ob jection in the President's message vetoing the bill appropriating ten million acres of land for the indigent insane, is that if Congress has power to give land to the indigent insane, it has power also to give to the indigent sane nnd would thus convert the Government into a great charitable institution. On this ground the President condemns, as unconstitutional, certain grants heretofore made to one or two States, for the benefit of the Deaf and Dumb.

THE GADBDEN TBKATY.—The Mexican Minister at Washington, says tho Louisville Journal. is understood to be of the opinion that Santa Anna will eagerly embrace the razeed Gadsden treaty, acting upon the good old adage that "half a loaf is better than no bread." At the same time private information from Washington indicates the organization of a very stubborn opposition in the House of Representatives to making any appropriation on account of the treaty. There is fun ahead, in, the House, upon this subjects An effort will be made to have a complete exposure of the history of the treaty. The Senate refuses to remove the veil of secrecy upon its proceedings in the matter, and a very general disposition exists among numbers of the House to refuse to vote money blindly for a questioablo gam.

CT A letter from Malta, of April 9th, says: "By the India mail the news came via Ceylon that the Russians have signed a commercial treaty with Japan, which throws open the trade of that country. The Americans, it would appear, have not been very honorably treated by the Russian squadron in those seas, who rather cleverly succeeded in getting the treaty which in all justice is due to the Americans, and this after they had been lent coals, kc., by the Americans in China. If it had not been for tins kindness on the Americans' part, it is doubtful if the Russians could have got so early to Japan."

O* The Jacksonville (111.) Constitutionalist says mat the farmers in Morgan and adjoining counties arc now in excellent spirits at the prospects of a remarkably good crop of wheat. The Constitutionalist adds that there was not so much sown last fall as the precoding, but it is predicted by the intelligent agriculturists that the yield will be equal to that of last year. This, with the prospect of high rates for breadstuff*, is good news for Illinois.
