FROIt THE HAILS-A carpenter in CleTalsnd died last week from th effects of drinking an over draught of ice water, when very warm. A new lodge of Odd Feilows was established at Fenrjsville, Morgan Count, bj Fast Grand Master John H. Wheeler, of Columbus. Messrs. Strawbridges hare been successful in their search for oil on the Mahoning, below Lowellville, having reached a good Tein at 130 feet. Messrs. Randolph & Christy are sinking a well a short distanoe further down the stream, with the same "surface" prospects. The ail found Is pure "Seneca," as any person may know, who will take the trouble to travel about two miles below Lowell and smell it. Mahoning Reguter. A meteor of unusual brilliancy was seen at Cleveland, Friday evening, passing from northwest to north-east. It made the streets as light as day. At Liverpool, two expert London thieves picked the pockets of a cotton broker of 11,000 (or $58,000), in large notes, just as he was entering the bank. An hour later a London detective, who chanced to be in town, recogniied one of them at the post-oflioe, where he was found to have registered a letter lo a lady in London. Following the man up they arrested both ; following the letter tbey recovered Ibe entire amount of money and in almost as little time as it takes to say it, the pickpockets were exported for ten and seven years respectively. The venerable Lyman Eeecber, now in the eighty-fourth year of his age, is living in Brooklyn, near the residence of his son, in the enjoyment of good health and spirits. With the exception of a slight deafness, and weakness of the limbs, the old gentleman is as bright, lively, and hopeful, as when ten years younger. Among the novelties which the scientific world has lately heard of, is the invention of an Italian a Florentine Monk, it is said who has devoted many years to the study of electrioity and telegraphic matters. He has some extraordinary inventions which he is submitting to the Emperor of the French. It is stated that among them !b a discovery of the means of transmitting uc limilet of hand-writing and manuscripts from station to station, so that a telegram may become a legal document, lie oan also transmit a likenesB by this agency, to be reproduced at the other end of the wire. Proposals have been made to the man of soience to come to England. The destruction of steam and other boats on the Mississippi, during the six months, is put down atone and three fourths millions of dollars, when, if the Federal Government did its duty, it wonld not be so many thousands. The City Council of Philadelphia has author. Ued the trial of a steam oar on the City rail ways. The census shows that the population of Toledo in 13,784, Mt. Vornoa, 4,C80, Fruimml, 3,527; Buoyrus, 3,542, Upper Sandusky, 1,604. The schooner Washington Irving, which left Erie for Buffalo a week ago, has not since been heard from, and there is no louger room to doubt that she is lost with all on board. The following is a list of her crew and passengers : Capt. Stephen H. Varmatta, Antonio Hary, Henry House, Owen Keep, Refer Silvy, and one passenger, Cornelius Leary. Owen Keep belonged in Buffalo, the others in Erie. Mr. It. T n Broeck's horse Satellite, by Al bion, eutered for the Stamford Plate of 200 sov- ereigns at Newmarket races, on the 4th inst., won i ne race alter a gallant struggle with Mr. Saxon's Brown Duchess, and nine other famous horses. The bettinir was 3 to 1 acainst him. Satellite is entered for the Goodwood stakes, uu me oilds or iu to I bet against him. POLITICAL ITEMS. Frank II. Firmin and A. Menges, two leading Democrats of Madison, Wis., bare declared for Lincold. One of tho reasoa given by the former for his espousal of the Republican cause is that the ultras of tho South, by their aotion in the Democratic National Contention and elsewhere, have forced upon the Union mon of the North the necessity of taking one extreme or the otherupon the slavery question his choice is the extreme for Freedom rather than the extreme for slavery. The Charlottesville (Va.) Review states that on Friday night week, in Charlottesville, "a serenade was gotten up in honor of Mr. Tryor, who had been sojourning there for several days, in discharge of his duties as Visitor of the University of Virginia. On being called out he made a handsome address, in which he frankly and candidly gave his views of the present condition of public affairs. He said the National Democratic party had no longer an existence; that it was perfectly impotent and so enveloped by corruption that it absolutely needed to be chastened by defeat and privation." Parson Brownlow is opposed to any .fusion with either Democratic faction. He says: In this split, we are pleased to set the factions so equally divided, and we hope, in their wrestle, tbey will make a dog fall of it! Let all honest, palriotio, Union-loving men stand aloof from both, praying in their family devotions, that God in mercy to tht country may politically damn both factions. The Hon. Mr. Hill, a Representative in Congress from Georgia, supports Mr. Bell "because he knows that he is as sound en the negro question as the Charleston majority platform is." Hon. Wm. n. Seward has addressed a letter to Judge Goodrich, of St. Taul, Minnesota, promising to visit that Stale some time during the campaign and address the people on the great issues of the day. The Terre Haute Ezprent says that nearly ten thousand people turned ont to hear Cassius M. Clay at GreencaBtle on Tuesday last, and a warm weloome was given him by the oitisens. At Terre Haute there was a fine display of numbers and enthusiasm, a company of n ide Awakes and military receiving him, and escorting him to his hotel. Gov. Cobb. Mr. Buchanan's Secretary of the Treasury, is reported lo have scouted the idea that the government formed by heroes and saees. should be presided over by such a man as Abe Lincoln. Without slopping to run a paral lel between Cobb ana Lincoln, we would simply ask the Governor how be is going to help it. if Lincoln is elected. The idea of Governor Cobb modestly classing himself with the tagct and heroet who tormed inn Uovernment is not it funny in the extreme?

Mr. Henry McGrew, who owns the coal beds opposite the Pekin, has in his employ ten men, all of whom were formerly Democrats. Eight of them, however, believing "Old Abe" to be the working man's friend intend to give him their votes at the approaching election, and not to be outdone by any of their neighbors, they went to the woods the other day and prepared a poll one hundied and eighty feet long, which they intend to raise shortly.

So rampant have the Douglas men become, so determined to divorce themselves from all seeming allianoe with the Breckinridge wing, thatlhey will force Harry Foster, nolent volent, to deolare himself; he must answer the question, "Under which king, Banzonlant" He knows that any open avowal of his preference for either candidate necessarily loses him the vote of the opposing wing.

A Pittsburgh Democrat writes to the Washington Conttitution as follows: The Democracy in this county, and indeed, it may be said in nearly all the counties in Western Pennsylvania, are just now very muoh disorganized, but it is an undeniable fact that by far the largest portion of the party, including almost all the old and influential leaders, are decidedly in favor of Breckinridge aud Lane. Many of those who advocate and still adhero to Judge Douglas do so more under the impression and belief that he has the regular national Democratic nomination, and, as the nominee, is entitled to their support, than through any particular attachment to his peouliar and mixed doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty and Congressional non-intervention previous to judicial decisions.The Winona (Minn.) Republican stales that Dr. Charles Benson has announced his separation from the Douglas Squatters, and declared his intention to support Abraham Lincoln. Says Dr. Benson: "One might as well vote for a woman as to support Douglas, who is but a cat's paw in the hands of the South to throw the eleotion into the House or Senate, where no one exoept a thorough going pro-slavery man can stand even a shadow of a chance. Douglas cannot be elected; Breokinridge must not be; therefore it is the duty of every palriotio citixen who is opposed to the extension of pro-slavery rule, or of the oontinuanoe of a oorrupt Administration, to cast his vote directly for Abraham Lincoln, and thus put a slop at onoe to the sectional bickerings which now divide the Demooratio party and distract the country." En Passant. Correspondence of the Ohio Stat. Journal. ' Niagara Falls, July 19, 1860. Shall I add myself to the number of absurd people who have attempted to describe Niagara? It is hard to deny myself the luxury. One comes here with the best intentions of being sensible in the world, and then gives utteranoe to the most foolish incoherenoies. I remember to have remarked to several people already, that the Falls are stupendous; that the spray is beautiful; that those rapids are fine, and the precipioes frightful. But I certainly feel now that it was folly to do so that I had better have said nothing, or said, with regard to the whole thing, that it was nice. That would have ex pressed the glory of the cataract which lives in voices, lights, and immensities as well as any other form of words. For the best that my art can do for Niagara is to tuggest it. Whatever artist attempts more, is beat down helpless in the presence of its grandeur, and ean only present the convulsions of his own ideas. My first feeling on seeing the cataraot, was that of vague disappointment. I had not figured anything greater, but something different, or perhaps it did not impress me as I intended; for one always approaches the sublime with a pre-disposition to be glorified. It is the conventional habit of thought, which on a second glance at Niagara falls from you, and leaves you free to be affected naturally. I have done the whole Cataraot thorougly, in my stay of two days and I may speak by the card. When you first come (and let it be in the afternoon,) take the car that descends from near Point Prospect to the river's edge, and then clamber over the rocks as oloseas you can to the foo of the Amerioan Falls, which is the point to experience your first sensations, and have your first rainbow, to realize Niagara, to unburden your mind of all old lumber of expectation, which you have stored awr-y from pictures, and travels, and foolish poems, for all poems abont Niagara are ridioulonsly inadequate.From this point the Canada fall is almost hidden by heavy clouds of mist, that as you glance quiokly at them, are full of delicate, fleeting dusks and purples, not seen with a steady look. Ascend now, and firmly, yet with that refined politeness natural to you, decline the hospitable offers of the numerous gentlemanly coachmen who desire the pleasure of taking you all around for an unnameable trifle, and cross the Suspen sion Bridge to Goat Island on foot. Fass through the delicious little solitude in the heart of the Island, which the foot-path traverses, and emerge at Terrapin Tower, where half the civilized world has inscribed its names, in different styles of character, on the walls. If you find here the ubiquitous bore, who haunts even the presence of magnifioence, frown npon him, and affect not to hear what he says. ) If you see an oldish gentleman, who clambers close to the brink of the precipice, and looks over in the furious abyss, point the bore to him. If the bore should mildly ex postulate with the oldish gentleman, and the oldish gentleman should reply that phrenologists have told him he ean goanywhere without danger, draw the conolusions of wisdom from the scene. Thea go up to ths top of Terrapin Tower, and do your Horse Shoe Falls. When you sweep with one glanoe over the career of the tumultous rapids, and leap (in y Mir thoughts gentle reader, in your thoughts,) down with that green, translucent sea of falling water into the white and thundering gulf below look hastily about, and if there is no one near, go crazy a little while to yourself. Then compose your countenance, and return to your hotel, pausing on the suspension bridge to golp the American rapids, and half mass npon the sweetness with which the . pretty young girl, belonging to the German party, said, "0 ich dank!" when her brother (or lover, was it ?) gave her the rare flowers. Goat Island is marvelonsly rustio for a place visited by so many thousands every year. The shubbery and wild undergrowth remain nn-ravaged, and the place wears an air of seclusion, which would be fatal te tho emotional nature under some circumstances. Indeed, in your brief ramble, you will hardly have failed to see some melancholy instance of this misguided young people clinging lo each other, with half embracing arms, in attitudes picturesque and tender, and seeming io look at the cataraot, but really looking into the future, more full of rain bows, and beautiful eolors, than the spray of the falls. Von give a sigh to all this, I say, and go and eat your supper. . As it grows dusk, you visit Point Prespeot at the brink of the American fall, and do your Horseshoe again, but from the tower is the best;, Go to sleep amid the thundering voices of the rapids, and in the morning take Prospeot Point before breakfast. After that meal repeat Goat Island, and tojourt Goat Island, as often as possible walking, look you not riding. Walk all around the Island, and see the eataraot in all its moods see the Hermit's Cascade, see the bosky little isles, see the rapids, and chutes and eddies, and at the southern point look far up the river to where the rapids begin, and tbe water beyond is a smooth and tranquil sea. If you wisb to eross lo tbe Canada sde im mediately below the fulls, there is a skiff-ferry, which is one the institutions, and which anords you tbe cataracts in unique aspects. But there is not mucb to see in Canada exeept Table Kock and a live museum, and perhaps the passage under the falls. I leave the delights of mere damp and noise and sensation to those who oare for such vanities, but I will not imperil any reader of mine by taking him under the aatar-oo t, on either side. I prefer my Niagara dry. And I believe I am making it so, fori feel that my letter is tremendously like a guide-book, and I have no doubt that its most decorative expressions are borrowed from tbe book which I paid too much for on the oars. Let us start afresh with a fresh topic I saw Blondin perform yesterday. I have, (in connection with a vague skepticism on thesujeotof Blondin,) always felt that if the man really existed and walked across Niagara on a rope, I might have the fortune to see him diopin. Ihadnota ferooious curiosity, like the English gentleman who followed the showman for so many years in the expectation that some day the lion would bite off tbe showman's bead, when he thrust it into the beast's jaws, and was finally rewarded by witneesing the speotacle. Nevertheless, it is as I have stated, and I determined to see Blondin, when 1 found him advertised to walk. It rained somewhat in the afternoon, and continued wet until four o'clock, when Blondin was to perform. . An immense crowd had thronged the beautiful suspension bridge, some three hundred feel below which the rope is stretched from one dark and lofty precipice to another, over a wild rapid, where the angry waves beat up twenty feet, their green masses crested with foam. A few sharp and jagged cedars grow at the water's edge on the Canada side, but the Amerioan is a naked wall of sombre rock, rising abruptly from the river. If the athlete should fall on the Canada side, he would be spitted on one of the cedars; if he fell into the rapids, he would be whirled away and gulfed in tbe swiftest death ; if he fell upon the Amerioan side, he would be dashed in pieces on the rock. It was impossible not to observe these details of fearful interest, as Blondin advanced from the little box on the Canadian side, near the place where I stood. He was habited in the customary flesh-tights of tho rope dancer, and every fibre of the fine animal seemed alive with instinot of its own. He lifted his clinging sinuous feet with delicate preoision. He bore bis balance pole in bis hands, and moved it slowly up and down. He glanoed at the faoes on the bridge, at the people oa either shore, and stepped alertly out upon the rope beyond tbe brink of tbe preoipice. The rain bad now ceased, and the wind blew strong and fresh from the breast of the cataract, whose solemn voiees filled the air, while the rapids shouted wildly below. It would have beon a relief to have broken away and rushed out of sight of that death daring speotacle. But it was impossible. The eye refused to quit it, and the spectator's soul went along with the rope-dancer on his slender cord. Blondin moved cautiously, and seemed appre hensivo of the effect that the rain might have had upoa his rope. With soft and regular undulations of his pole with oalm eyes fixed upon the opposite shore with feet that clasped like hands, planting themselves wilb Infinite eager ness and unerring certainty witn musoles act' ing like separate intelligences in conoert be advanoed over the flood, paused, stood on one foot, stood on bis head, lay Sat upon tbe rope on his back, rose and passed to tbe middle or tne river. Here a slack-rope was contrived, and securing his balanoe pole, Blondin descended to this, and after whirling round and round, suddenly loosed his hands and swung head down ward. suPDorted by ropes about bis ancles, ne ascended to the main rope again, and oontinued his journey to the American shore, where, when he stood just over the water's edge, he repeated the performance or standing on bis Bead. All this, however, was as nothing. The piece de retitlance was yet to come. The athlete plaoed his feet eacb one in a wil low basket, with wooden bottom much such a basket in shape and size, as editors ana mer chants use to put waste scraps of paper in. His wrists and ancles were ohained together with heavy chains. He took up his balance pole, and set forth upon his return, swinging bis legs wide and free from the rope, as he must, at every step. His progress was cautious, but not slow. When in the center of the rope, be paused and stood on one foot, resting one basket on tbe top of the other. Then he came on without further delay, the chains clanking audibly till he stepped upon the wooden platform prepared for him. Thia was the piece de remittance. The descent was yet to come. Without resting a moment, Blondin divested himself of his chains and baskets, and returned to the American shore, valking backward the whole way, pausing only once. The performance occupied an hour that is, Blondin spent an hour on his rope. He is a quiet looking man, wearing a very light and arChinz mustache. His form is nobis and per fectly developed, and you must heartily admire while you deplore mm. as i returned to my hotel. I made some very virtuous reflections on the evil effects of such a spectacle, but as they will naturally occur to the right minded reader, I forbear to set them down here. Neither he nor I however, would fail to see Blondin, for all our moral reflections, I think. The Suspension Bridge is one of the sights of Niagara. It must therefore be seen, and not described; which is also the ease with tbe whirlpool in Niagara river a mile below the bridge. Returning on mo ut..uisD iiae, i naa a nne view (which no one should miss,) of tbe Cataract, from Victoria Point; and this morning I have been doing Goat Island again, with some friends, when I pointed nut the splendors with an eloquent silence, which rather baffled the professional guides. One of ibe interests of Goat Island, just now, is the presence of the artist brothers, Godfrey and John Frankenstein, who are adding to their store of sketches at the falls, and may be happened upon any sunny morning, in Utileout-of-the-way nooks, commanding superb views. There are so many things about Niagara that one thinks to say, that it fills with despair to contemplate tho amount which must remain unsaid by tho rapidest talkers. There are the smaller islands to mention, the far-seen pio-turesque shores, the black and frowning cliffs; there is the pretty little village at the Falls, with ita bazaars of Indian work, and euriesity shops; there are the Iodiaa women, who sit and mbroider moccasins in the shady corners, and shatter your ideal of the Indian Maid; there are the studiable visitors in throngs from all parts of civilisation; there is the hotel life, And its ehance acquaintances and flirtations And fast livers. There is An end for the present. To-morrow, I am off for Lake Ontario. Corrsipondsnes of the Ohio Stat JoarasU Nw Vork Cur, July 20, 1860. While t in this City of Gotham, I must see something of interest to our people who live so snugly and happily upon tbe banks of oar beautiful Scioto. .Every visit here but confirms me in the belief that this city in tome particulars excels our, it covers some more territory, but we claim more land to the acre, there are perhaps 10,000 more acres on this Island than wo iiave within our elty limits, but what of thatt our land is better and cheaper and when we feel iitpoted to extend our city to Reynoldsburg east, Shadeville south, Alton west, and Worth-ington north, whose business will it be ? When we conclude to buy Sodom and convert it into a vast Harbor and dig a Canal to Lake Erie and let that limpid stream bring us any amount of steamers and sail craft and connect through the Soioto to New Orleans, and then on to San Francisco so that we may with impunity invite Tht Great Eastern to visit our Capitol City, and permit her to fill her tanks from our Artesian Well, now the deepest in the world. I most slnoerely hope when the water doe come it will beof the Atlantic .favor, enough to turn all the spindles in Yankeedom. I saw the Great Eattcrn, took a curb-stone ticket. I did not have time or disposition to "Go for her " as I had a wife and a couple of responsibilities at home for whom I have much regard and did aot wish any alarm oommunioated by Telegram that a certain individual about my weight and size had got lout on the Steamer. When I do go for this monstrosity, it must be iu company with some kind friend who has travel-ed, and who is not afraid of monsters of tbe deep, and well supplied with provisions for a day's tramp, and not without the mariner's compass. Should I attempt a description of her I must draw on some stationer for a ream of paper, gross of pens and penholders, and a gallon of fluid, and from some one having more knaok than myself at desoription. When I first saw her, my emotions were similar to those with which I first beheld nature's master-pieoe, Nia-gra Falls. Tbe Chioago Zouaves, who are winning laurels here as all over tbe country, will visit here tomorrow morning. Had I time enough, I would endeavor to give you tome idea of this wonderful company, but it's no use to attempt it. They must be svkn to be appreciated, and I understand you are to be honored with a peep at them. Tbey are tbe best drilled and the gayest company of soldiers in the Union. More anon, v J. C. A. The Caarat. In Western Mew York Republican. MOVnya Editor or the 0. S. Journal : I have been for the lait few days in Western New Tork, and have concluded that a few suggestions as to the condition of politics in this region may not be uninteresting to your readers. It is the opinion of the best informed Republicans here that Lincoln will carry the Slate by a large majority. In this county at least three quarters of the American vote whioh went in a body for Fillmore in 180G will be given for our ticket. The German Republican vote will be largely increased. Tbe party is becoming thoroughly organized, and we find in it an element which has not given us much aid heretofore. I refer to tbe young men of1 the country. Thuh we have brought lo our aid the vigor and earnestness of youth, uncorrupted by plaoe, uncontaminated by, cliques. The Republicans of Lock port last night dedicated their Wigwam. The WideAwakes of Buffalo turned out some twe hundred strong. Tbey were met at the depot by the Lockport Wide-A wakes, numberingone hundred and fifty, and escorted through the prinoipal streets of the city to the Wigwam, where the meeting was organized by the selection of Hon. E, J. Chase, brother of Gov. Chase, as Chairman. Mr. Chase made A brief and excellent dedicatory address, and introduced Hon. James 0. Putnam of L'hatauque. Mr. Putnam reviewed Washington Hunt's speech, and riddled it so thoroughly that I fear the Governor will hardly be able to get it together again, for future service. He was followed by II. B. Stanton, of Seneca ' county. Tho crowd outside, whioh numbered twice as many as the Wigwam could hold, was addressed from the balcony of a neighboring hotel, by Messrs. Parsons, Wadsworth, and oth ers, or IS u Halo; Uraves and Sawyer, of Medina, and John C. Grannie, of Cleveland. The meeting exoeeded in numbers and enthusiasm anything I have seen since 1840, and is an earnest of what we may expect of the Niagara's in November. WIDE-AWAKE. Buffalo, July 20, 1860. It would be A good thing for rqsny politicians were not such a journal as the Congrettional Globe published. Many of their errors could be dodged successfully were it not for this unerring record staring them in tbe face. The Douglas men would like to get rid of the imputation of their favorite's indifference to whether slavery is voted np or down in the Territories, and even deny that he ever gave utterance lo such sentiment. But a "settler" is discovered in the Glob of 1857-8, part 1, page 18. In a speech reported in the part of that publication indicated, Mr. Douglas said : "But I am told on all sides, "Oh, just wait, the pro-slavery clause will be voted down." That does not obviate any of my objections; it dees not diminish any of them. You have no more right to force a Free State Constitution on Kan-aas, tban a Slave State Constitution. If Kansas wants a Slave Slate Constitution, she has a right to it; if she wants a Free State Csnstitu-tion, she has a right to it. It is none of my business which way the 8lavery clause ia decided. care not whether it it voted down or up." The Casus 1860. A Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Pren writes as follows : Among the improvements introduced into our next census, there is one whioh will, for the first time, enable the statistician snd statesman to make a true and correct estimate of tbe number, strength and influence of the foreign element in this country. Heretofore the children of foreign born citizens, born in this country, have always been classed with the natives, to which, in fact, they belong. It is now suggested that in our next census a discrimination may be made, so that the number of direct descendants of Irish. German and other foreign immigrants may be ascertained. It will not only be an interesting item to show the value and importance of immigration ia a political and national economical sense, but ethnology and other branches of science will derive a great many benefits therefrom. Medical men will be interested to Bud out which of the various elements and nationalities represented on our soil tends most to natural increase. Do the American, the German, or the Irish excel la thatrcgrad? In our epinioa the German and Irish immigrants increase more tban the natives, as the greater part of them, when they arrive at onr shores, are either married, or, at least, of a ' marriageable age, and, therefore, very apt to be productive. It is estimated that tbe number of foreigners and their children (not even to include their grand-children) born in this eonntry will net fall ahort at present from between twelve and fourteen millions.
