OE mocrat. Judge Story gives a graphic picture of, the preseat Union, and what they would likely be again, if it should be dissolved: The most opposite commercial regulations existed in the different States; and in many cases, and especially between neighboring States, there was a perpetual course of re. taliatory legislation, from their jealousies / and rivalries in commerce, in agriculture, . orin manufactures. Foreign nations did policy tending to the common ruin. as the evils grew more pressing, the resent. ments of the States against each other, and tue consciousness that their local interests were placed in opposition to each other, what the States were before the adoption of . . not fail to avail themselves of all the advan. tages accruing to them from this suicidal . And were daily increasing the mass of disaffee. tion, until it became obvious that the dan. gers of immediate warfare between some of . the States were imminent. . But the evil did not rest here. Our foreign commerce was not only crippled, but almost entirely destroyed, Foreign nations imposed upon our navigation and trade just such restrictions as they deemed best for their own interests and policy. . bad a common interest to steal onr trade and to evlarge their own. They did not fail . earnest ye NUMBER 410. OUR STELLAR SYSTEM, : The grandest of all problems with which . science has ever grappled is the relation of the stars to each other. Sir William Herschell, with his great telescope and his comprehensive mind, led the way in this sublime study, and the path which he marked out is now being pursued by able and observers all over the civilized world. The results yet obtained in regard to the position of the fixed stars in relation to each other and their distances apart, are neither as positive noras definite as our knowledge of our own solar system, still, within certain limits, some facts have been determined which almost overwhelm the mind with their inconceivable grandeur. Virst, it has been ascertained that our sun is one ofan innumerable multitude ef stars which are grouped together in one collection or system, separated from other stars in the universe, The general form of this stellar system, and our position in it, have been roughly determined, It is in the form of an irregular wheel, with a deep notch in one side, and with a portion of another wheel branching out from it. Our sun is situated pretty near the middle of the system, and about where the branch divides, The dimensions of this collection of stars are so vast that if expressed in miles they . would require rows of figures of such conAllof them . to avail themselves, to the utmost, of their . . advantages, They pursued a system of the most rigorous exclusion of from all the benefits of their owa commerce; and endeavored to secure, with a bold and nuhesitating confidence, a monopoly of ours, our shipping . The effects of this system of operations, com. 4 bined with our political weakness, were soon evident, Our navigation was ruined; . our mechanics were in a state of inextricable poverty; our agriculture was withered, and the little money still found in the country was gradually finding its way abroad to supply our immediate wants; and a state of alarming embarrassment in that most difficult and delicate of all relaiions—the relation of private debtors and creditors— threatened daily an overthrow even of the . ordinary administration of justice. Severe . as were the calamities of the war, the pressure of them was far Jess mischievous thao this slow but progressive destruction of all our resources, all our industry and all our credit. i osnenneeneeenmeesinsnendiamaamemenem oe Sirver Mixes at Las VeGas.—J. A. Talbott writes from the Potosi mines at Las Vegas, New Mexico, to the Los Angeles Star thus; A large party have arrived at this place, situated east of the road to Salt Lake, about five miles south of the Monntain Springs, and located on aud in the neighborhood of the Colorado silver Mining Company’s lode, It is the same that was worked by the Mormons a few years ago, and, from the assays . made, bids fair to be the best lode diseovered in this region. To-day alarge delegation of Indians have received their presents and we hope we can work the mines in peace. We number at present forty, and have already discovered four new leads, and from the indications we have no doubt will give employment to thousands, Capt. Allen, the President of the company, goes to Los Angeles for material to errect a fur. hace, and will show you specimens that will . convince the most skeptic, that ‘there’s a good time coming” for your town. } ie Lovistana.—The report of the Adjutant General of the State, according to the New Orleans Picayune, reveals the following un. pleasant condition of things: Since the Presidential election the organization of new companies and the call for arms have been unexampled, but the State is entirely without the means of meeting the requisitions made, The firearms in the . possession of the State are totally unfit for use and dangerons in the hands of the militia, The report and accompanying documents present the State in a condition of almost destitution, as it regards a well armed military foree; and the facts developed would make State action necessary,even to give security in case Of domestic peed of armed bodies, in time of universal peace. Cotron IN AustraLisA.—-The New Orleans Picayune directs attention to the prospects of raising cotton on a large scale in Australia, although it doubis whether cotton can be made a profitable crop in that country. Mr. W. Brooks in a communication to the Queensland Philosophical Society, states that whenver cotton has been tried on the coast of Qaeentand. the yield bas been plen. tiful, and the quality excellent. The perennial nature of the plant in that ,locality would Jessen the labor of its cultivation, and Mr. Brooks thinks it can be profitably cultivated. Australia hasan area nearly fusing length as to convey no definite idea to the mind, and the plan has been adopted of stating the time whicha ray of light would require to traverse them. It would take a locomotive 500 years to pass from the earth to the sun, while aray of light makes the journey in eignt minutes, and yet aray of light moving with the same velocity, would require three years to reach the nearest fixed star! In applying this measuring rod to our’ stellar system, it is found that, through the thickness of the wheel the distance is such that light would occupy about 1,000 years, and through the diameter not less than 10,000 years, in making the passage! In some directions, indeed, the system stretches away into the depths of space beyond the reach of the . most powerful telescope to measure. it . If we pass through the inconceivable distances we have been considering, out beyond the boundaries of our stellar system, we find a region of empty space, destitute of stars, at all events of those which are luminous and visible, Traversing this void space through distances which appal tho mind hy their immensity, we find other sys. tems of stars probably similar to our own. _And astronomers are now considering the possible relation of these several clusters to each other—whether there is not a system of systems! This is the most sublime problem which has ever engaged the attention of the haman mind.—[Scientific American. Srrance Rumor—tige Deap Retvuryxep ro Liré.—In the month of August last Mr. Caleb C. Woodbury, postmaster at White Pigeon, Michigan, was arrested upon the charge of robbing the United States mail. He waa taken to Detroit, where a prelimilary examination was had before a United States Commissioner, who required him to give bail in the sum of $4,000 to appear on trial, orin default to be imprisoned. On the 18th of August he was taken to hi home by Deputy United States Marshal Moore, to give himan opportunity of ob taining the requisite surety. While in his own house he was permitted by the officer to retire for the purpose of changing his clothes and to take a short nap, the office: . mounting guard at the door. Not making e ecnal to the entire extent of the United . . States, and embraces almost all ranges of . trophical and temperate climate. Compar. atively little of the island has been explored CANFORD’S LIVER INVIGORATOR, . 291 its capabilities are consequently un-. for sale by SPENCE. known, his appearanee in due time, the door was Hurst open and Woodbury was found dead in his bed, The fact that he had bought strychnine, and the presence of some of it in the room, led naturally to the belief that le had committed suicide by its use. The Deputy Marshal returned home and reported the facts as narrated above, But the strangest part of the story istoeome. The Detroit Advertiser learns that within a few weeks Woodbury has been seen and spoken to by an old acquaintance in or near Chicago. The story reaching White Pigeon the sapposed grave of Woodbury was opened, and found to contain only a coffin, enclosing a large stick of wood, The Advertiser further states that the United States authorities at Detroit will proceed to inves Ligate the matter immediately, Crverty is New York.---A farmer named Johu Blake, in Saratoga county, N. Y., ha been fined one thousand dollars for eruel treatment of Conrad Floyd, a boy who he adopted into his family from the Utica Or phan Asylum, It was proved that Blak had kicked the boy until he was deformed that Ye had given him meals only when hy felt inclined, and that he had actually compelied him to eat mice and equirrels raw and unskinned, i—-__ Ix the decline of life, shame and grief are of short duration, whether it be that we ar: easily borne along, or that, finding our. Selves in age less regarded, we lers regard others; or that we look with slight regard upon afflictions to which we koow that the hand of death is abeut to put an end.

OE mocrat. Judge Story gives a graphic picture of, the preseat Union, and what they would likely be again, if it should be dissolved: The most opposite commercial regulations existed in the different States; and in many cases, and especially between neighboring States, there was a perpetual course of re. taliatory legislation, from their jealousies / and rivalries in commerce, in agriculture, . orin manufactures. Foreign nations did policy tending to the common ruin. as the evils grew more pressing, the resent. ments of the States against each other, and tue consciousness that their local interests were placed in opposition to each other, what the States were before the adoption of . . not fail to avail themselves of all the advan. tages accruing to them from this suicidal . And were daily increasing the mass of disaffee. tion, until it became obvious that the dan. gers of immediate warfare between some of . the States were imminent. . But the evil did not rest here. Our foreign commerce was not only crippled, but almost entirely destroyed, Foreign nations imposed upon our navigation and trade just such restrictions as they deemed best for their own interests and policy. . bad a common interest to steal onr trade and to evlarge their own. They did not fail . earnest ye NUMBER 410. OUR STELLAR SYSTEM, : The grandest of all problems with which . science has ever grappled is the relation of the stars to each other. Sir William Herschell, with his great telescope and his comprehensive mind, led the way in this sublime study, and the path which he marked out is now being pursued by able and observers all over the civilized world. The results yet obtained in regard to the position of the fixed stars in relation to each other and their distances apart, are neither as positive noras definite as our knowledge of our own solar system, still, within certain limits, some facts have been determined which almost overwhelm the mind with their inconceivable grandeur. Virst, it has been ascertained that our sun is one ofan innumerable multitude ef stars which are grouped together in one collection or system, separated from other stars in the universe, The general form of this stellar system, and our position in it, have been roughly determined, It is in the form of an irregular wheel, with a deep notch in one side, and with a portion of another wheel branching out from it. Our sun is situated pretty near the middle of the system, and about where the branch divides, The dimensions of this collection of stars are so vast that if expressed in miles they . would require rows of figures of such conAllof them . to avail themselves, to the utmost, of their . . advantages, They pursued a system of the most rigorous exclusion of from all the benefits of their owa commerce; and endeavored to secure, with a bold and nuhesitating confidence, a monopoly of ours, our shipping . The effects of this system of operations, com. 4 bined with our political weakness, were soon evident, Our navigation was ruined; . our mechanics were in a state of inextricable poverty; our agriculture was withered, and the little money still found in the country was gradually finding its way abroad to supply our immediate wants; and a state of alarming embarrassment in that most difficult and delicate of all relaiions—the relation of private debtors and creditors— threatened daily an overthrow even of the . ordinary administration of justice. Severe . as were the calamities of the war, the pressure of them was far Jess mischievous thao this slow but progressive destruction of all our resources, all our industry and all our credit. i osnenneeneeenmeesinsnendiamaamemenem oe Sirver Mixes at Las VeGas.—J. A. Talbott writes from the Potosi mines at Las Vegas, New Mexico, to the Los Angeles Star thus; A large party have arrived at this place, situated east of the road to Salt Lake, about five miles south of the Monntain Springs, and located on aud in the neighborhood of the Colorado silver Mining Company’s lode, It is the same that was worked by the Mormons a few years ago, and, from the assays . made, bids fair to be the best lode diseovered in this region. To-day alarge delegation of Indians have received their presents and we hope we can work the mines in peace. We number at present forty, and have already discovered four new leads, and from the indications we have no doubt will give employment to thousands, Capt. Allen, the President of the company, goes to Los Angeles for material to errect a fur. hace, and will show you specimens that will . convince the most skeptic, that ‘there’s a good time coming” for your town. } ie Lovistana.—The report of the Adjutant General of the State, according to the New Orleans Picayune, reveals the following un. pleasant condition of things: Since the Presidential election the organization of new companies and the call for arms have been unexampled, but the State is entirely without the means of meeting the requisitions made, The firearms in the . possession of the State are totally unfit for use and dangerons in the hands of the militia, The report and accompanying documents present the State in a condition of almost destitution, as it regards a well armed military foree; and the facts developed would make State action necessary,even to give security in case Of domestic peed of armed bodies, in time of universal peace. Cotron IN AustraLisA.—-The New Orleans Picayune directs attention to the prospects of raising cotton on a large scale in Australia, although it doubis whether cotton can be made a profitable crop in that country. Mr. W. Brooks in a communication to the Queensland Philosophical Society, states that whenver cotton has been tried on the coast of Qaeentand. the yield bas been plen. tiful, and the quality excellent. The perennial nature of the plant in that ,locality would Jessen the labor of its cultivation, and Mr. Brooks thinks it can be profitably cultivated. Australia hasan area nearly fusing length as to convey no definite idea to the mind, and the plan has been adopted of stating the time whicha ray of light would require to traverse them. It would take a locomotive 500 years to pass from the earth to the sun, while aray of light makes the journey in eignt minutes, and yet aray of light moving with the same velocity, would require three years to reach the nearest fixed star! In applying this measuring rod to our’ stellar system, it is found that, through the thickness of the wheel the distance is such that light would occupy about 1,000 years, and through the diameter not less than 10,000 years, in making the passage! In some directions, indeed, the system stretches away into the depths of space beyond the reach of the . most powerful telescope to measure. it . If we pass through the inconceivable distances we have been considering, out beyond the boundaries of our stellar system, we find a region of empty space, destitute of stars, at all events of those which are luminous and visible, Traversing this void space through distances which appal tho mind hy their immensity, we find other sys. tems of stars probably similar to our own. _And astronomers are now considering the possible relation of these several clusters to each other—whether there is not a system of systems! This is the most sublime problem which has ever engaged the attention of the haman mind.—[Scientific American. Srrance Rumor—tige Deap Retvuryxep ro Liré.—In the month of August last Mr. Caleb C. Woodbury, postmaster at White Pigeon, Michigan, was arrested upon the charge of robbing the United States mail. He waa taken to Detroit, where a prelimilary examination was had before a United States Commissioner, who required him to give bail in the sum of $4,000 to appear on trial, orin default to be imprisoned. On the 18th of August he was taken to hi home by Deputy United States Marshal Moore, to give himan opportunity of ob taining the requisite surety.

The Detroit Advertiser learns that within a few weeks Woodbury has been seen and spoken to by an old acquaintance in or near Chicago.
