end morality Iwld up for admiration by tin: He- | t,
publicans. We published some time since the fact |
tliat his wife bad been compelled to flee from him
inconsequence of ill-treatment, and sue for a diyorcc,
which was granted. The editor of the 1 ?a- H)
.venport Gazette has had an interview with Mr. Hal- \v
bridge, the fathor ol Lane's late wife, who stales cc
that:
"When his precious son-in iaw induced his
f daughter to go to Kalians, he sold Iter property,'
amounting to $>18,000,and, after reaching Kansas, !
be procured a mistress, and treated his wife so badly | at
that she was forced to leave for home; and lie told (h
her he had paid her pussago on the steamboat to In- ! .,]
diana, when in fact, after the boat started, site found i '
sucli was not the ease, and it was with diUicully
that she raised money enough to pay her passage, ?>
I,ane had lobbed her?f her fortune, been guilty of gi
adultery with a mistress, and s -nt Iter home penniless,
and, after she had left, tried to get a divorce
from her through tho very Territorial Legislature
which no is denouncing as bogus nn<l illegal."
What ohoics instruments the Republicans uso to In
advocate their cause! I low proud the Republicans fo
must feel who have idolized this hero ol freedom! cr

IIurkibi.e CaUKLTr.?Child Hurnt to Death.
?A tragedy took place at Lock port, N. Y., on
Tuesday, exhibiting auoh revolting cruelty as to be
Imoal incredible. A Utile boy,tire years of age,
clonging to Mrs. Story, wiw roasted ulivc by a
end in human shape?a white woman?named
'regg. The evidence elicited before the coroner's
my shown that the victim was left with a mnnihr
hil?l by its mother, when Mis. Cpgg, who lived
1 another portion of the house, took the opportune
f and entered the apartment, and proooeded to the
xecuticn of the deed which she had previously
Itreotened. With horrid imprecations, the child
'as held on the fire by its tormentor until its legs
nd botrela tcere burned to a cinder, then, with
itanic revenge, the body of the child was reversed
y the murderess until its back icua toasted to u
riap. It died in a few hours after,and the woman
now iu jail.
Marine Monster or Ska Serpent.?A Lonon
paper of October 4lh says that when the ship
rincess was on her way home from China, .1 uly

let. Captain T. lircd a shot ulilvli struck tlie 1
limal so that tlio man at the wheel believed he

is: "Tuesday, July 8, 1856. Gentle breeze

itli a head like a walrus, and 12 fins similar to

I had tho pleasure of making tho acliuintunco
of Major Wa\ne, for several
cars attached to the War Department in
Washington City, who went out last year ,
i Asia and introduced the camels into this
Mintrv, which arrived at ludiatiola last
ring, an ! aio now kept at this post. It
is been sclectc 1 by him as the best adapt |
1 to that service for which he intends
lem. When we arrived thev were out (
razing, some two miles distant, attended ,
; til - Arabs who have charge of them,
hen Maj. Wayne very kindly sent out and
.<1 them driven in for our inspection.
here are altogether thirty two, including ,
line young ones, and are all in excellent |
eallh. and seem to be doing well.
Tho males are kept separate from the fe- ,
ales, in the cot roll, and when all were
jused and wu had examined them careful- |
, accompanied by Maj. Wayne, who gave \
? a verv interesting account of their habits | ,
*
id peculiarities, l:e ordered one of them to j

H?.i round pace. A dromedary wan next i ,

Tiie Kauth's Intkkior.?In the course of '
paper read before the Scientific Congress
Albany, by I>r. Winslow, ho observed
at the more a goological student contcin* J
a led the sedimentary strata, the more he
list becoino convinced that the solid crust '
tho plane-; is a yielding envedopo of no
eat thickness, overlaying a globe of fluid,
bject to dj mimical influences of such vast. ,
>wer, that mountains and continents un- ,
dale upon it as fields of ice follow the 1 ,
lat action of the sea. The causes and j
ices of this vast phenomena were consid- j
ed to be the tension and dynamical agonof
tho molten and fluid matter in a slate ,
motion underneath. Sonio think this j
oiion corresponds with tuo tides, and a
ench savan attributes it to the action of j
o moon. Dr. Winslow attributed it to
o action of tho sun, ami supported his Joory
on the ground that these phenomena ,
cur more frequently when that body ii (
nrest tho earth, as in winter, at which (
no inoro volcanic eruptions occur than at ,
y other season. 5

our attention. There itt a significance at- (
Inched to it, which should not bo loot sight I

and smoke of tho contest for the Presidcu- !
cy that wo arc engaged in, to take a look .
at tho past, and ask ourselves if we arc emulating
tho hcoric devotion and atom clriv- '
airy of our ancestors, we may learn a lesson
of forbenrance that w ill save us from future (
disgrace and a sea of troubles. \\ o live in
a world of changes; each generation have '
their own cares and responsibility, which '
human progress imposes; upon us has devolved
issues of magnitude, and history
will faithfully record our decisions. In all !
former campaigns of which 1 have any recollection,
the battles were waged between
Whigs and Democrat* with commendable
decorum ntid hottornblo warfare. With
but few exceptions, pnrtizan speeches and
newspaper columns were devoid of that
gross personal abuso and perversion of liuth 1
that has appeared through the whole course 1
of Black Republicanism thus far. \\ liigs
and Democrats always managed to tiud '
some salient points of ditVorenee at home, '
something near, touching a vital interest, '
that wc could feel we bad a personal con- '
corn in. The strugglo was a fair, manly, >
hand-to-hand fight; it was a party warfare
that could be participated in by every State i
in the Union, and tho conqueror and the
vanquished could alike feel that they had '
uici on equal groutms, urollier Willi brother. i
They entered llie lists . ?
"With Unit stein joy which warriors feel
In foetneu worthy of their stc?l." <
The grounds of difference were always 1
great national questions, never sectional; ;
and each party, in success or defeat, care- '
fully watched over the last intcie>U of the '
whole Union. Their numbers being nearly ,
equal throughout tiro free States, the Abo- ?
lition party, to our shame be it renumber- I
ed, for years held the balance of power, al 1
though they had but a small number of 1
votes. Still, they proved enough to slip
between the two great parties, and mating- '
cd tohoi-t into office creatures of their ow n, I
and keep up, in our Stale and National >
Legislatures, the fires of sectional strife. I
The same issues they have always present- '
ed. Under tho name of "Republicans," J
they givo lis now, absolutely nothing in ?
which we, as citizens of New York, have a
direct interest. They ate all foreign to our I
borders, and they nsk us to meddle with ' 1
the business of other American citizens in a |
way whollv unwarrantable. They dare not 1

nothing which ;;t lir->i it,calculated to >1, < k

long before Kansas was thought of. Now I
Mexico, which lies S >nth of GO 30, was ' ;

and the question of slavery was disposed <1 t
in precisely ill*- same tonus as was uaontly I
lone in Kansas, thus virtually doing away

Unprofitable Farming. P1,
The following extract from an address by jK>,
Mr. Greeley, before the Krie Couutv Agri- sc.
cultural Society, at Buffalo, N. Y., contains ^
sumo useful hints: ^
' The truth which I am most anxious to nn
impress is, that no poor man can afford to ^
Ire a poor farmer. When I have recom- co:
mended agricultural improvements, 1 have
often been told ibis expensive farming will rru
do well enough for rich people, but wo who ^r!
aic in moderato circumstances can't afford nu
it.. Now, it is not ornamental farming that w;
I recommend, but profitable farming. It is ,
true, that tlie amount of a man's capital
must lix the limit of his business, in agri c;n
culture as is in everything else. But, how- s,
ever poor you may be, you can nlTord to
cultivate land well, if you afford to cultivate
it all. It may be out of your power to keep ; 3j1(
a largo farm in a high stale of cultivation, .
but you should sell a part of it, and culli- | ^
rate a sin;.II one. If you aie a poor man, ! io
you cannot alfoid to raise small crops; you ^ ,
cannot all'ord to accept half a crop fioiu ,
laud capable of yielding a whole. If you
ire a poor man, you cannot afford to fence j
two acres to secure the ciop you ought to
grow on one; you cannot afford to pay or laj
iose the inteieA on the cost of 100 acres of t j(U
and to get the crops that w ill grow on ; ,
!>0 acres. No man can afford to raise 'JO | Wf|
l>u-heU of corn per acre, not even if the ;
and were given him, for 20 bushels per r.
rcro will not pay the cost of the miserable
cultivation that produces it.
"No poor inan can afford to cultivate his ?
and in such a manner as will cause it to
lctcriorate in value, (lo.nl farming i:n , ()f
aroves the value "f laud, and the farmer 1 ^CJ
ivlio manages his faun o as t<> get the lar- I ,J;V

The Poison Strychnine,

eings, is <i most deadly organic poison.

nth fearful energy, and causing lock-law
uniediately and death in a few minutes,
t is odorless, but so intensely bitter as to
e peiceptible to the tnsse when one pail
i diluted in a million parts of water. 1
'he composition of strychnine is carbon
1, hydrogen 24, uxtgeii 4, nitrogen 2
rpiivalenls. It is colorless, and form* solute
chrystalizable salts. It isan alkaline base,
s is extracted principally from the Strych
ot nujr vomica. The tree front which
, is obtained is of moderate size, and grows
i several parts of tho East Indies and the
dand of Ceylon. Its fruit are large or
nge-colored berries, the pulp of which is .
io favorite of many birds. The seed> contin
the deadly poison. They are flat and
jtind, about an inch in diameter, and
ray in color. These seeds were used as a
tedicine, and a* a poison, by the Hindoos,
>ng before they were known in Europe,
lany of tlie natives of llindonMan often
sc it as people use opium. They comtenco
with taking the eighth of a nut a
ay, and gradually increase their allowance
> an viitiro nut, which would bo about
wenty gtains. If they eat it directly bo
>re or after food, no unpleasant efleets ate
roduccd, but if they neglect thin precauon,
spasms ore the result.
Tho bark of the tree is also poisonous,
nd from its resemblance to Angostura or
lu.sparia bark, a Ionic medicine imported
om South Amotion, caused a great deal
f alarm and excitement in Germany in
to early part of this century by being
lixed with bark. No sure untidoto has
et boen discovered for this poison, but
>roo chemists hare attained to great skill
i detecting it, when administered as apoi- I
>n. The following is Dr. Thompson's metod
of detecting the one-thousandth part
f a grain:
"Having placed a drop of strong sulphuic
acid on a piece of glass, add to it a small
uantitv of the suspected substance, and
tir the whole together 60 as to favor soluon;
then sptinkle over the mixture n little
owdered bichromate of potash, and gently
lore a glass rod through the fluid. If
trychnia be present, a violet color of con
derablo beauty will be almost immediate,

, r.wuuuvu, iin.ii, mier n low minutes, I
'ill fade into a reddish yellow, l?ut may '
e renewed by the addition of more bichrolate,
as long as any strychnia remains uncstroyed
in the mixture. In this way the
liousaudth part of a grain of that alkaloid
lay be made to yield a very decisive indi !
ation. The points to be noticed are that
ulphuric acid alone produces no apparent |
fleet, and that the action begins at once
iund each particle of the bichromate, so j
tat if the gin-1* be held in a vertical p<vi- |
on, streams of a violet colore 1 fluid may bo :
'en to flow from each particle; and if at |
lis time the whole ho slowly stirred, the
;?tir? bulk of the fluid will speedily assume
ie same characteristic tint.**

Extraordinary Balloon Asee^n.

A balloon ascension at Philadelphia, in com*
pany witli several companions, of which
the papers give tlte folio wing account:
'About six o'clock this party descended
on the farm of ^Ir. Carter, near Chester
Creek. There they took supper, the balloon
being secured meantime: After this th?y
resumed their aerial journey, nnd again descended
a four iniles further on, w^ere they
were entertained at the home of Ms. Feltc-n,
of liiC Baltimore C/ompauy.
After leaving Mr. FeI ton's it was found
that the balloon had lest much gas, and
it was consequently unable to take up nil
the excursionist.*. Messrs. Rowlings and
Butcher accordingly remained on terra
jirma, while their companions again ascended,
and finally came down at North
East, Md., at ten o'clock at night. They
returned to tiro city next day, delighted
with their trip. The balloon was At times
over Wilmington and Norristown, aud it
crossed the Delaware and the Schuylkill
riveia more than once during its jouruej.
It is ladieved that the Imlloou reached the
height of fourteen thousand feet above the
earth,.and that it |>e?formed a journey of
sixty miles. At Wilmington Mr. Godard
descended.sufficiently low to courerse with
a number of citizens of that plnco. He
again descended, aud onme down along the
road and shook -hands with several astonished
individuals. The passenger* ou this
novel excursion say the sight from their .
lofty position was the most magnificent
that can bo imagined. Tiiis was particularly
so to those who were np just as tlio
noon began to rise and lip lfill and valley
with her silvery beams. One of the peculiarities
of this night was tho remarkable
echo at the height of some ten thousand
feet. Mr. Godard snug a song, and each
verse was as distinctly sung by an echo as
sweet and melodious as the voice which uttered
the words. At this altitude could
nl*o bo heard the barkiug of dogs and even
the cackling of chickens."
Revolutionary Reminiscences.
The following is a copy of the Declaration
of Independence made by tho Vestry
of St. Paul's Church, Edenton, N. C-, on the
17th day or June, 1770. It i? like the
Mecklenburg declaration, anterior to the declaration
of Congress?preceding llie latter
just sixteen days.
"We, tbc subscribers, professing our allegianco
to the King, and acknowledging the
constitutional executive power of Government,
do solemnly profess, testify and declare.
that we do absolutely believe that
neither the Parliament of Grca. Britain,
nor any member or constituent brauch
thereof, have a right to impose taxns upon
these colonies, to regulate the iuternal policy
thereof; and that all attempts by fraud
or force to establish and exercise sucli claims
and powers are violations of the peace and
charity of the people, ought to bo resisted
to the utmost, and that the people of this
province, siugly and collectively, aro bound
by the acts and resolutions uf the continental
nud provincial Congresses, because In
both they are freely represented by persons
chosen by themselves; and we do solemnly
and siuceroly promise aud^cngage, uudor the
sanction of virtue, honor, and the sacred loTO
of liberty and our country, to maintain and
support all and every the acts resolutions,
and regulations or the said continental and
