Another Shower of A ngle Worms e “~“We give place’to-day toa communieation . 517, on the Virginia side of the Potomac. . most as learned in relation to the Grass Valley National's theory of the spontaneous producticn of angle worms, alluded to in our last. We have since learned that there was shower of angie worms in Nevada, the same morning the phenomenon occurred at Grass Valley. On the morning of the 11th, after the rain, the planks on Broad street, in front of the National Exchange, were covered with myriads of angle worms. They were 4ll the same size, about an inch in length, aud similar to those that fell at Grass Valley. Some discussion occurred as to whether they came up from under the planks or rained down, and a number af gentlemen went npon the balcony of the hotel, and found them as plentiful there as in the streets. This was considered conclusive evidence that they descended from above, and that fact, we think, is pretty well established. Whether they were taken up iu 4 waterspout, or were struck into existence by the action of forees in the atmosphere, is of course a mystery. The fact that they were allexactly the same, would indicate that they were produced at the same time, and under similar circumstances, and gives much weight to the theory advanced by the National. We have read the article in Blackwood’s Magazine, referred to by our correspondent, aud do not think it can be fairly cited to disprove the National’s theory. We bave no inclination, however, to discass the question, Natrona Loan.—According to a New York dispateb of the 15th inst., the third and last instalment of the $150,000,000 Government loan has been taken by the New York, Philadelphia and Boston banks, By the original arrangement, the banks took fifty millions absolutely, with the understanding that whatever was subscribed by the people should be deducte! from that amount; and if the subscriptions were sufficiently liberal, the banks were to take the . second and third installment of fifty millions each, on the first of October and first of December, reapectively, The second installment was taken at the time agreed upon, and if the late dispatch is correct, the third has been taken some two weeks before the time, thus showing that the subscriptions came in more liberally than was anticipated, The bankers were probably of the opinion that the bonds would soon be selling ata premiom, whieh may account for their haste in taking up the last installment before the time agreed upon. We do not crodit the etatement that ten millions of the loan bas been subscribed in Baltimore. It was probably intended for one million—the mistake occurring by some of the telegraph operators writing one figure too many. Pennsvivanta Evxorion,—The late election in Pennsylvania was for Represenvtatives in the Legislature, part of the Senate, and local officers. The Marysville Express is informed by an exchange that the Legislature is thus politically divided: House— Democrats, 53; Republicans, 47, Senate— Democrats, 10; Republicans, 23, The St Louis correspondent of the Union, in his) letter of Oetober 25th, says the Republicans have a small majority in the House, The soldiers in the Federal armies were entitled to vote as if at home, and'according to the New York Tribune the returns from the camps showed a small majority for the Repablican, or “People’s” party. So far as known, no Secessionists, or ‘Peace’? members were elected to either branch of: the Legislature. Fuston.—The Sacramento Bee favors a . fusion of all Union men in the election of . officers of the two houses of the Legislature, aud the Transcript, in some remarks thereon, Opposes the proposition, because some Union Democrats are in the -habit of speaking disrespeotfally of the President, and other equally “sound’’ reasons, It is-not reasonable to suppose that recent converts to the Republican faith—particularly those whose conversion was influenced by hopes of fat offices—will tolerate any more acees. remain in command of the Pacific Division. one battle, or three, or four, bad been . fought in that neighborhood, aud we have not even yet, any reliable information as to whether the Federals still retain their poIt appears, however, that there was only . his paper, in which he accounts for the fact of . rietite whic one battle, in which the California regiment . the denizens of . and portions of the Massachusetts 15th and burg,thaving entertained of the New York Tammany regiments, numbering, in all, about 1,800 men, took part, This force bad been sent forward, under command of Col. Baker, to reconnoiter in the direction of Leesburg. They were attacked about five o’clock in the afterooon by a superior force of rebels, io front and on both flanks, The engagement wae ehort and bloody, and after Col. Baker’s death the officer left in command gave the order to retreat to the river bank, where they could be supported by Gea, Stone and that portion of the army that bad by that time effected a crossing. Temporary works were thrown up on the river bank, to protect the crossing, and it iscertain they retained their position on the Virginia side! that night and the next day, aud we have had no intelligence of their having recrossed . into Maryland. The Federal loss in killed avd wounded is stated at oue hundred and seventy-five, and four bundred were taken prisoners. The battle took place on the 21st of October, and Gen. Stone’s official report, which of course gives the exact loss, was published a week or ten days later. Tux Feperat Victory in Kentucky,— We gave in our last the brief dispatch received by the usssociated press, in relation to the victory of the Federal troops under Gen. Nelaon, in Kentucky, in which it was stated that 2,015 prisoners were taken, and 400 rebels were found dead. The battle . was briefly alluded to in a dispatch of the 11th, but the dispatches of the 12th and 13th are missing, and undoubtedly they gave some details of the victory, A dis-. patch to the San Francisco Herald makes this mention of it: A great battle has occurred in Pike county, . Kentucky, between the Federal troops under . Gen. Nelson, andthe rebels under Gen. Wilson. . The Federals gained a complete vietory.

Hawney, Att’y tor Plaintiff, Nevada, Nov. 19, 1861. say that “‘no other paper has the news.” Unless the editor of the National can point out his authority, I, for one, shall prefer to be ranked as a “chronic eaviller.” But the audacity of the thing is perfectly unparralleled. The war fever must indeed be raging tremendously, to have deprived the editor of the National of his usual timidity, and led him to venture on such desperate assertions. But, seriously: will the National give its authority for all these wonderful statements? The theory of spontaneous generation is older than science itself, but there is not one solitary instance on record which has withstood the test of scientific examination; and the more light there is thrown upon the origin of life, the weaker becomes the theory of spontaneous generation, until, at present, it has very little, except “biological ignorance,” to rest upon.

These experiments the editor of the National appears to have had in view while inditing his account of the angleworms. But if he had ever followed up his scientific researches, with that industry for which he is so commended in other things, he would have ascertained, e’re this, that all Mr. Cross’ experiments were exploded on the spot. Specimens of the acarus Crossi,®taken directly from the source of their supposed development, and examined by a powerful microscope, were found to be already impregnated. Fungi have long since been found to be the natural (not artificial) production of all decomposing and acid substances; and subsequent experiments have shown conclusively, that where all the conditions are observed, and all the percaucautions taken to prevent the contact of the atmosphere, all such experiments as those ef Mr. Cross have hopelessly failed. The editor of the National will find the whole subject discussed, and its present status fully explained, in the February number of Blackwood’s Magazine for 1861, by one of the ablest scientific pens of Europe, reviewing a work by a celebrated French savant, M. Pouchet, whose researches and experiments in regard to this theory have been complete and almost exhaustive, but which have utterly failed to satisfy the scientific world. Finally, will the editor of the National tell us whether angle-worms are oviparous or viviparous? whether those of three-quarters of October, 1860; she is expected back next December. 15 (0) GALLONS OF CAMPHENE, An ArnmMepD CiirrPeR Surip.—The owners 3) of the splendid clipper Carrier Dove, Messrs.

Davis’ piratical cruisers. She was boarded at the entrance of the harbor by Naval Officer Farwell, who keeps a sharp look-out for vessels subject to the confiscation act, but it took but half an eve to see that the Carrier Dove was true blue. Her owners, indeed, generously offered the ship a present to the Government, as a transport ship during the war, but for some reason the offer was not accepted. The act, however, sufficiently illustrates the noble, self-sacrificing spirit of the New York merchants at the call of their country. The Carrier Dove, one ofthe fastest and staunchest vessels afloat, carried on her passage out, fifty-one men all told, each of ahem was sworn, on shipping, to defend the ship and Stars and Stripes to the death.—[ Alta. a ee ee BIRTH.

The war fever must indeed be raging tremendously, to have deprived the editor of the National of his usual timidity, and led him to venture on such desperate assertions. But, seriously: will the National give its authority for all these wonderful statements? The theory of spontaneous generation is older than science itself, but there is not one solitary instance on record which has withstood the test of scientific examination; and the more light there is thrown upon the origin of life, the weaker becomes the theory of spontaneous generation, until, at present, it has very little, except “biological ignorance,” to rest upon.

These experiments the editor of the National appears to have had in view while inditing his account of the angleworms. But if he had ever followed up his scientific researches, with that industry for which he is so commended in other things, he would have ascertained, e’re this, that all Mr. Cross’ experiments were exploded on the spot. Specimens of the acarus Crossi,®taken directly from the source of their supposed development, and examined by a powerful microscope, were found to be already impregnated. Fungi have long since been found to be the natural (not artificial) production of all decomposing and acid substances; and subsequent experiments have shown conclusively, that where all the conditions are observed, and all the percaucautions taken to prevent the contact of the atmosphere, all such experiments as those ef Mr. Cross have hopelessly failed. The editor of the National will find the whole subject discussed, and its present status fully explained, in the February number of Blackwood’s Magazine for 1861, by one of the ablest scientific pens of Europe, reviewing a work by a celebrated French savant, M. Pouchet, whose researches and experiments in regard to this theory have been complete and almost exhaustive, but which have utterly failed to satisfy the scientific world. Finally, will the editor of the National tell us whether angle-worms are oviparous or viviparous? whether those of three-quarters of October, 1860; she is expected back next December. 15 (0) GALLONS OF CAMPHENE, An ArnmMepD CiirrPeR Surip.—The owners 3) of the splendid clipper Carrier Dove, Messrs.

Davis’ piratical cruisers. She was boarded at the entrance of the harbor by Naval Officer Farwell, who keeps a sharp look-out for vessels subject to the confiscation act, but it took but half an eve to see that the Carrier Dove was true blue. Her owners, indeed, generously offered the ship a present to the Government, as a transport ship during the war, but for some reason the offer was not accepted. The act, however, sufficiently illustrates the noble, self-sacrificing spirit of the New York merchants at the call of their country. The Carrier Dove, one ofthe fastest and staunchest vessels afloat, carried on her passage out, fifty-one men all told, each of ahem was sworn, on shipping, to defend the ship and Stars and Stripes to the death.—[ Alta. a ee ee BIRTH.
