We had still three heights to climb; tln-y were the Just, but also (lie most periioos. 1 be retail led abruptly nver the rocks by which the whole summit ol the lnouiitiiiu was covered. 1 had mure lalls thin could count, and frequently tore mr hands on tlii sharp points of lavu. It was, to he sure, a reirible exp dition. The duzzling whiloties of the snow was almost blinding, c nitrantdl vvrh the shinine black lava alonp side of H. Winn I hud to cross a tudd of snow. I did not venture to look at the lava, for i had tried it once and could hardly see in consequence. 1 was snow blind. At In fit the summit was titt'dued, after two more hours of laborious climbine, and I stood noon tho nich es! teak of Heclu : hut 1 looked in vain lor a crater there was no trace n any to bo found; at winch I was all ilio more asioiiished. as I had read minute accounts ol tt in several bimlis ot navels. I walked mound iliu whole summit of the mountain and rlainbert'd lo Iho jokul which Ilea next to it, but sill) I saw no opening or crevice, no sunken wall, or any sign whatever, in fict, of a crater. Much lower down, on the aides of the mountain, I found ionic wide rents and chinks, whence tho streams of lava must hive flowed. Tho hekdit of ihis mountain is a ml to h" 4 300 leet The sun had been obscured during tho lout hour of our ascent, and ihicK clouds now rushed down upon us from tho neighboring placiora, which concealed the whole, prospect from our Bight, and prevented our dis tiiiguishiii anything for more than ten paces before us.

I despair ol conveying to my readers a distinct idea of the immense wmte which lay displayed before me, with itsaccumu hited niiis.ies of lava, nnd ila peculiar appearance of lifeless desolation. 1 seemed to s'tiud in tho midst of an exhausted firo. The blocks were piled in heaps above each ether, till they formed bijdi hills; the vul-h'Vt were choked by vast slreams of reck, whose I'-nu'h and hr iidth I Was not ublo to dUliniiuish, al-thouidi iho course ol the Inst eruption could he plainly trnccd among them. 1 was surrounded by ihn moat drcndlul ravines, caves, steams, hilln and valleys.

A whole world of glaciers, mountains of lava, field "f snow and ice, riirs and miniature lake-, were included in that magnificent prospect; nnd the foot of man had never yet ventured within those regions of gloom and solitude. What must have been ilm fury of tho re-islless element which has produced all thesu ftl'ects!

Political. SCKNES IN ICELAND. A German lady. Ada Priit rtB, has lat- ly published a sketch of a journey throuvh Iceland. This wotk has beeti translated by Miis Coorr.u, and published by I'utkam. It forms a very Tradable volume, as tl gives the best view wo have Been el the ciitoms, maimers, &c, of that singular people.

The whole region at the foot of Heel a, nnd especially at this place, appears to be un dermined, and the heavy footsteps of the peasants were echoed in hollow, uieliarins tones, such as 1 hrid never bean! at Vesuvius or anywhere tune. These sounds appeared very awful to tim when 1 waa alone at nicht, shut up in inv dark reiteat.

In fact it wn past six when we were completely ready to aut out. Beside a s'ore of bread ntid cheese, a bot tle of water fr myself and on ot hraudv for the guide, we also provided oumelves with long slicks, ending in a iharit iron point, which we were to b an upou and uio to sound tho snow befoto we ventured to trend on it. It was i beautiful warm morning, and we g illoped trail v over iho meadows and the adjacent land plains. This fine weather wns considered a very fnvorahln omen by my Kuiile, who told me that Mr. Oeiimrd the rrencu iiAturulist already mentioned, luui Keen de- laved Ilireo days lv a storm ! tore lie could ascettd the mountains j this wa iiue yotrs ago, and no one had mado the attempt since that time. A Danish I'nnre, who traveled throtirh Iceland a f-w years since, had been here indeed, but for some unexplained reason he had leli tho pLco wiihoiit uudertuking to visit Hecla. The road led at first, as I have already said, throng! rich fields, and then arms (bo patches of black aanil whith are surrounded on nil sides bv streams, nn is aim hillocks of lava, whose lenrlul masses gradually ap- oroach each other, and trcquentlv ah-ird tm other pa aage than n narrow defile, where wo scrambled over the blocks nnd piles with scarcely a spot to rust oar teet. 1 he lava rolled nio'iiui niui uenmu us, ami n was nece.ary to bo cnnwtaiilly on tho watch t i pro-vent ourselves from stumbling, or to avoid coming in contact with the rolling rocks. But tleilatiger was even greater in the gorues tilled with snow, already softened by the heat of Iho season; where we be-queutly broke through, or, what was worse, slid backward at every step, almost as far at we had advanced. I do nut believe there another mountain in ihe world whoso ascent otters at many dillkuhies as this one. After a toilsome struggle of three hours and a half we reached tho place where it became necessary to leave the horses behind ( which I should hive none long before, as I felt compassion lor the poor animals, if mv Hecla ituide would have allowed it ; but he main taiued that them were still spots where we might need them, and a lvin d me, moreover, to ride as long as possible, in order to reserve my strength for what was still heftre me. And ho was right ; 1 hnrdly think I oonld have completed the whole distance on loot; for wheu I thought I had attained the last peak, I still Coand streams and hillocks between me and my goal, which seemed constantly more remote thnu ever. My guide aaurod me that ho had never led any ono an far on hurseback, and I renddy believe it. The wnlk- sMi was already horrible hut lo ride was fearful ! wr ram every height new scenes of the most melancholy desolation aooearrd in sisht 1 the whole pros- pect was rigid and inanimate, aud burnt, black lava wassproitd around us wherever we looked.

In reviewing ihe record nt mmo loan forty year' public service, we find that Scott has been engaged in three virs, his been victorious iu ten battln, has three times interfered to yrrtcrvt prnrt, and has written aev- em I volumes on military iusiitutei, temperance and various topics of puMic interest. For this long series of memorable, services he bis acquired a renown limited only hy the bounds of tlio civilized world. In bis own coui try the National Con-gros, the Legislatures of Smtes, iho o irpontions of cities, and literary nun tnentihc bodies hove repeatedly bestowed upon him their honors and their applnme. Congress voted him a nodal; Ihe S'atn of Virginia twice voted h'tu swords; New Vek voted him a sword: the Societv of Cincinnati made hi ti an honor ary member; and in various forma, and on numerous occasions, nnvn llie people uasteiipil to do honor in one whoso hie bus been devoted to their rauao. He his been nominated for the Presidency repeated ly, by Stale and county conventions, but lie his never pressed himself on the consideration of political bodies. On tho contrary he Ins shunned all the intrigues of mere primr,niH, ami leli ins character und conduct to the unhiassud judgment of llie people.

MORE ABOUT THE "TAX KILLER" At AH MING STATE OF AFFAIRS SIX YEARS AG0-N0 TET TER YET I After great tribulation, and almost superhuman effort, wo have finally proem cd nn eniire copy of the Tax- Killtr, a highly illustrated politico pictorial weekly magazine published at the Ohio 8 tat tt man office, in 184(i. It lias cost us sumo money, but as a record of tho folly and humbuggery. to say nothing of tho heart less wickedness, of Ohio Lncolocoisrn, it is a valuable specimen one that should hy all means be preserved for the benefit or posterity. We have had our entire volume carefully bound, and intend to send it down to future ages. From time to time we proposo to give our readers copious extracts therefrom. A tho Locos have just made a tax law of their own, it is rather instructive to read what 1hoy thought of its main fea tures, when the Whigi had the fotctr, some six years ago. We have tint yet been able to persuade, our amiable neighbor of the Statesman to itll us thu beautiful wood eutt, or to loan or hire them to us f trtliecampaign. We think our request for them eery reasonable, and don't know why tho editor of tho Statesman still persists in keeping them back. The thing don't h ivo a right look to it. It bus the appearance of being ashamed of its labors. That paper will not use them itself or permit any body else. We are compelled lo submit, but we hereby enter our solemn protest against such treat merit, and ask to have it put on record. To-day we give the protest of a long list of Locofo- coa up in Knox oouuty, against what they pretend are tho obnoxious and wicked features of iho Whig tax law of 1840. It was originally published iu the Mt. Vernon Banner, aud was copied in'o the first number of iho 7'ax Killer. Tlio articlo is illustrated wilh a long-tailed, huge looking alligaior, and from bis wide- ly-rlitended juws como these words: "OH, KEL- LEY !

Then turn to (he Locofucn tax law of last wilder, and seo if you cannot find every one of these hated features incorporated in this present Locoforo tax law of I8.rj2 ! Of course yon will. The great bitter complaint is, against compelling persons to ttceor to th..ir lists. Everybody knows that the present Locofoco law compels the same thing. It"cif every man a liar," because it compels them to swear.' It is much more obnoxious to censure llian the law of 184d. Jus'uo lo the people of Knox county, however, com pels us to say that they have not changed ns much as Ins tho Statesman, aud the wire-pullers generally. The people of Knox opposed tho Whig nw of '46, and they alio bitterly oppose the Locofoco law of '52. They did n't like Alfkld Kkllf.y then, and they have just as little cuntidunco in Samuel Midart now. They refused to swear to their lists then, and they also refuse now. They seo that what they llnught wns hi nest indignation then, was only a gull trap, and that these Locofoco lea Urs neither had sincerity then, or liono'ty now. i STARTING RIGHT. The Whigs ol Morgan county held mi enthusiastic meeting in McConnelsville nn Tuesday evening tut. Among olbar good deeds, they formed a ' Chippewa Club," and resolved to meet once in two weeks, and as much often er as the President of the club should direct, till tho close of tho campaign. Wo cordially recommend the Scott men of every township and village in Ohio, to " go and do likewise." Organize at once, and prepare for tho campaign. Meet-' ings for the purpose nf appointing delegates to the i county Conventions will bo u fnvorabto time for this. When organized out of your county seats, make it your practice to notify some of the speakers at the centre, of the timo ond place of your meeting, and lint their presence is desirable, and our word tor it, they will he there. Begin now, and keep vp the charge, as the gloriouB Scott did at Lundy s Lane, till in November next, tho enemy will bo driven from the 6old, Friends of Scott, remember thtt! HE DIDN'T FIGHT AT ALL! Tho efforts of tho Statesman, Despatch, Aurora, &c, to make a fighting cock of Pierce, have not only failed, but have made these ignorant editors, as well as their candidate, tho laughing Block of the country. Wo bad supposed, however, that Pierce, when in iho Mexican war, did seo some actual bona Jide hghtiug. But, even this turns out to bo a misiaUo. Mr, fiKncit teas in no battle! His military fame rests simply in the fact thai he held a General's commission fiom Poik! That is all! Ho may bo a very brave man; and once, if he had not fainted, he uiihl have demonstrated it ; but he will probably die and leave the world in ignoranco on that point, Tho following from tin Washington Re public, wo commend to public attention : "General Fierce'!

But ihe mice always found an important difficulty in getting the bell fixed on their enemy. We apprehend theie small mice will meet wilh about tho sumo success as did tho ones in the fable, and if they do really rtutter up courage enough to attempt a demonstration upou Geti. Scott, they will come off wilh about the same amount of honor and good luck that fell to the lot of ihu British and Mexicans.

He resigned his romm'mion nnd came homo in the first train that left Mexico after the occupation by our troops of that city some tight or nine months before the war teas ended. One who Saw ano Knows. CP Tho Missouri Republican, iho largest and moat ntluentiul paper at tho west, comes in cordially to the support of Scott and Graham. Iu view of the action of the Convention, and the great popularity f our leader, the Republican declares that it regards the election of the ticket as sure. It says Scott will ;et a larger vote than Taylor got in '48, and will arry some States that have not generally been counted fur him in tho general rosult. Everything now indi cates that this prophecy will soon become verittihie, glorious history. A BAD DEFEAT.

This demonstrates the ustohhhing popularity of the organ in tint place. Wo regard the result as settling tho question in fa vor of Dr. Oldi. Ho will probably bo able to got the support uf the delegates from his own, (Pickaway,) couuiy, and th'h secures his nomination. According to the Statesman, Dr. Oldi, some years since, becntno defunct, and tlm editor of that piper wrote and published his epitaph which was. "Died for want of honest piiuciples."

' Of General Scott's nomination, the Telegraph says: ' General Scott, world-renowned, is ihe candidate of the Whig party for the Presidency. It wouldn't do for us tu say anything about him, because they iny religious journals ought not to interfere in political i questions. HR. PIERCE WHAT HE IS EXPECTED TO DO. Tho Locotuco Convention first made their caudidate then made iheir plntforni. It muy he supplied that their platform was adapted to the supposed character and capacity of their candidate. Look at their plat form and see what the Convention which nominated Mr. Pierce supposed him competent to do. They say : 1, It is inexpedient tu exerciaedoubiful powers. , No power to commence or carry on a general sys lem of intern nl improvements do not say that any improvements may be mude. 3. Federal government not tn assume State debts. 4, One branch of industry not to bo fostered at ihe expense of another do not say that any may be fostered. &, No more money to bo raised than necessary. 0, Against a National Bank- , Against mixing government ii oneys with btoking institutions. 8, In favor of liberty generally, and keeping tho naturalization laws as they ara. 9, Not to meddle with slavery question. 10, Proceeds of pub lie lands not to be disltihotcd among iho States. 11, Against taking from President qualified veto. 12, Ab stractions of 17n0-'fl9, 13, In favor of last war with Mexico, 14, Glad we have got out of iho war, and got peace again on good terms. (Do not thank Tat- Lur or Scott for it, as ihey ought to do.) 15, In favor uf constitutional liberty. This is tho gist of their whole platform. Theyaro in favor of nothing, except that which has been accomplished years ago. They spend the ir force chiefly in making war upon dead carcasses. As to the future. they do nut propose a single thing to bo done not one. bo fur as any luture measures are hiiittd ai, they tako tho negative. They do not prooao to do any thing themselves or to let others do anything. They were a congregation of mourners, bestowing funeral rites upon the dead ; and the only hum e service hinttd at t to prevent anything from being done. This is the attitude of the parly calling itso.f progressive! Who shall say they did not indend lo adapt their platform to their caiulidute, and did not by their platlorm ex press their aemo ot his ability for public service f They selected a man who never Ins done anything for bis country, aud by their platform pledge them selves that he never shall do anything, and express their conviction that ho is tho most suitable tnau for loiug nothing they can find anoTherblunder. A great many mistakes have occurred, by the Loco f 'cos taking up a man lhat uonu of them knew anything about. Tho Statesman made him an officer iu the war of 1812, though he was born in 1804. The Portsmnuth Despatch made him commander nf lit American army at York, alter the deaih of Geuerat Pike, when he was only shout ten years of age. Another Locofoco biographer made him commander of the rear guard, somewhere. Then, again, our Locofoco editors have all sorts of times in getting at Mr. Pierce's name. It is by one written r hasklm A. Purce, and by another Frank-lim O. Pit; ace, another has it Franklid R. Pierce some spell it Pharcx. But tho most ludicrous blunder in them nflorts in getting nt tho name, was made nt Wooster, where they issued a glorification hand bill congratulating the uuterrifiod Democracy on the nom ination o Javei A. Pi; auce, as their candidate. Now, James A. pKAncE is the able Whig 8cnatur from Mary. laud. S i tho mistake was a bad one. A nosier cor respondent of tho Forest City thus describes the ridic ulous nil air: Tho Democrats here aro most effectually borrd with the nonrnatioii of Pierce. His name had never been mouthed iu ibis place, until alter hi nomination. True, Tierce was a familiar name, hut it was not Franklin Pierre. S- Utile was known of him here biuoiib Him Locoj'ocos. that fur soma timo ihey insisted it hi James A.

Au ariiclo with this heading appeared in the Ohio State Journal of June 19th, wherein the editor very condei(jtndin'ly oHWs a place in his columns to our liumhle self, if we will put ourself in " our best vein," nnd thoroughly condense ourself for the bent-fit of his readers, We accept the offer for the sake of his renders, for wo are inclined to think that no clas of readers have teen lesion tho subject uf woman's rights, lhan the readers of the Ohio Stnte Journal, unless they have looked for it iu other quarters. But the editor dis courses tn this wise: At a recent Womsn's tUehti' CouvcnlUtn, bold In Maiilllon Ohio, the fo'lowlnir " platform " was laid down : ftrsolrtd, ThHt ilia rqunlity of ihe ifxes must extend, and does extend, to riiihr personal, soHal, tonl, rioliiical, indmtrinl nnd rMiriiiut,mciurtinir, nl con no, rRpreipntHtion In the government, the eWhV,, IrBllebl.H. cli.,h-. nl ..tv-mi-liiim ml, A n imn.rtU! dint ril n H. in n ihe rewaid of ehVrt ; and lu reb-renctt to nil these psriifulsrs, womnn hts the srao right to choose her spUL-re ol -V...U,,, am iima io cnooio mis. flume day when Mn.

For being thus called out we would not wish to bo considered as fearing tho attempt to defend our C111SO.

Wo will grant, that iho brain of woman is one third finer than that of man." Wo will admit, " that this fac hag some bearing nn the question." But what is that hearing? What does iho (act provo T That the coarser oriiniz dion should hold sovereign control ovor the finer II it du: a, will tho inquirer tell us why man is not lo bo held iu subjection to the horse, tho buffalo, or tho elephant, whoso text urn of brain, phys-! iologisia tell us, is still coarser than his iwn, If thero bo any urgu'tiont to bo drawn from this phys iological fact, it ia all in our favor ; for tho finer and more delicate organism certninly should, according to nil received opinions, hold influence and p.iwer-iver llm coar'er. There is no disputing the fact, that iho male and fe male principle must exist together. They are coexist-1 ent with creniion itself, and through every ramification l animated nature we find them iu perfi ctadaptation and harmony one with tho other. It often happens lhat the male ia fitted to protect the female. Her more important duties as thu mother, iho producer, render tits necessary. Out we have yet to learn, " that for hat protection he exacts of her duty and obedience in all things." I "God did not make men and women alike, (ays our quorist) and yet decreed they should go through life hand in hind." If the Bible he discarded, then the doctrine of women's rights must rest upon the law of nature, nnd that alono, for its foundation " We are always glad to hnvo our opponetiis go to na ture for their arguments, for thero wo feel conscious lhat the evidenco is all on our side. The very fact that tiie human race cannot oxist without tho nmlu and female principle, and lh it they must exist together, is proof that one was not made to be superior to the oth er. If tho male is superior in strength, the female is snpcnorin what our friend chooses to call "sensibility, m.d neither is complete w ithout theniher." Then, consequently, the two area whole, and must bo equals. All animated nature leaches to man, iho high and holy-law of equality. The brutes protect their females, but they do not place them as inferiors, nor deny to them any right or privilege that they enpy. They mam together aver ihe same hills, drink at the same fountain!, bisk in thu same sunshine, bravo the same storms, and sleep in iho same shade- He rejoicing ever in his strength nnd power to protect her, while she boars iho dutioi of her nature. But he never drives her from his haunts, or requires of her duty and obedience lo himself. It is enough for the brute that his female companion perpetuates his race lie requires of her nothing beyond, nor takes rtm her one right of her nature, granted by infinite wisdom. The editor speaks of protection, as if men now pro tected women. Individually, perhaps they do. But Heaven save us as a class, from such protection aa they give us collectively. "Labor is tho foundation ol wealth. ' This is an axiom every where admitted. Who labors more than Woman 1 "Bather labor is nut productive," says our antagonist. Is it not? Who prod. ices all your men and women T lit as much an an immortal soul is superior tu dollats and dimes, as a man or icoman 's uf more value than houses or land in just so much is the labor of women superior and more valuable to the nation than the labor of man. Woman produces yuur laborers, your statesmen. your philosophers, your poets, and your artisans. She produces tho producers; and yet ihis mighty labor of her lite this hhju and holy vocation which calls upon her for numuriiiuiing toil day and night, seems not to he considered by her self-constituted masters. And "thoy talk wisely, aud in the streets ton," of supporting women; aud churn, as they make all the money, ttit.y should bold their mothers as interiors. Thero are a few women who live upon tho hiil lops of wealth, where the sunshine of fashionable fae ev er res' a idi sickly glow who do not toil with their bauds. But, tho mass of women kind labor with un ceasing energy. Their labor is taxed the same as men's. They help to support the government, but ihey have no voico therein. They are taxed for the judiciary, but iheironly pnvilego is a trial and con demnaiiou or acquittal. Thoy nre taxed fur public improvements, but have no voice in their arrangements taxed to support crime, while four-tifllis of all crimin als ara men, and made by men's laws aud regulations; taxed to build colleges, yet never allowed to enter their walls as students. In fine, there is not a tax levied by the Statu or county, which women's labor and women's properly docs not help to pay. And jot there is not one question appertaining to the disposal of this lax, where aho is privileged to express her thought. This is carrying out the principle of our fore-fathers, "No luxation without the right of repre sentation." with a vungence. This is being protected by man. This is the system of justice and right which man's Gtarser fibre of brain has prompted him to Iny down for woman's finer fibre of heart and soul, to work out in meek submission. Lot us now turn to St. Paul. It wns not us that call ed St. Paul " an old Fogy," wo leave inch irreverence to those who profess such great regard for his doo in ties: " I.-t your women ltrrp silence In the chorehes : for it ts nnt r-ermlitrd unto tliem tn speak i but they am rommanilot tn 1m undr-r obedience, ns aUotnilh thn Inw.

To Kphtsians, ckap. ti. Precltely hnvr our lemalo frb-ndi cuuMiud ireic pssingrs and harmonize inrra with tun alinro moluttoni, we do not know. To Iho above quotations we would add a few more, which the editor probably has never seen, hut which h'Mild Ime been quoted in ihe same connection ns hearing upon tho subject lint St. Paul evidently had in view: Hud those men "submitted to every ordinance of iiiau " hid they "honored tho king" had Ihey believed and lived out the docirino that " all the powers that be are ordained of God," they, or their descendants, would even now have been bending at the ihrone of Qieen Victoria, instead of racking their brains lo find ways and means to hoist Franklin Pierce or Win field Scott into the chair of the chief mac is' rate. Had the p'rojectors of our railroads, canals, tele graphs and other public improvements, stuck to the Aposile s rule, imperaiively laid down, "owe no man anything," we should have had tho comfort of olden time u Bilges still upon us, and our friend would not have been disturbed by reforms. All these things seem to prove to our minds that the good and fearless Apostle's doctrines belonged more lo the days when men wore flowing robes and bound their feet in sandals, than to these times ot progression and improvement; and in thus speaking, we do not set at naught t . Bi ble, any more than llimo who wear " gold and jewels, and broidered hair" or even those who apenk ill of their neighbors. St. Paul says, " Tho h unhand is the head of the wife, even as Christ is tho head of the Church." St. Paul certainly considered Chi ut his head; and Christ taught, 1 Tint all things whatsoever yo would lhat men should lo unto you, do ye the same unto them ; for this is the law and the prophets." Who has kept this command ment of the groat Muster 7 " Lot him who is without sin cast the first stone." Do we who simply (ink equality depart irom this world-acc -pied ruler Most certainly wo do not. But wo will admit that St. Paul s docinues are pro per for our day and generation : " That husbands should render vnto wives all due benevolence in " That wives shall be in obedience to husbands;" "That women shall keep silence iu ihe churches:" is there anything in all this lhat precludes her from enjoying equal social, le gnl, political, industrial and religious privileges with her husband, if he " renders her ull duo benevolence," and does unto her, ns ho would have her do unto him ? " Does a mail's being subject to tho powers thnt bo, in Government, take from him his right of manhood 1 or does his want of privilege tn speak iu the Church, as a minister, precludo his speaking elsewliero 7 We nk for information. Ono more question, nnd I huvo done. If a woman ! aaks her husband at home, and he advises her to espouse tho cause of womau'a rights to demand tho acknowledgment of iho right of suffrage bids her go to ; Conventions, to pletid ihn cause of her sex to strivo for tlio elevation of tho race, through the elevation of woman; is she not in du'y bound, according to St. Paul, to do as it semneih good unto her husband T If so, then wo stand absolved from all blame, for wo have not departed, in one jut or tittle, from iho law. But we fear our condensation has grown intoexpnn- sion: and as it is dangerous to define positions in the Journal win) this, probably, will he our last privilege we will cotirtcty to its readers a long farewell.

I quote these passages simply to prove iny poaiiion with regard to the Apostle: lhat ilicao injunctions or commandments were given as rub's of action for his churches, and were adapted to tho dny and generation in winch he lived. If we huvo sinned In thus cons truing ihu injunctions of St. Paul, wo have sinned iu good company. And with such great and good men to set os precedents, both by precept and example, as Calvin, Martin Lu ther, George Fox, the fathers of the revolution, Wash- .ltugtoD, rranklin, Fenn even Kossuth end every priest and deacon of the land, shall we not be excused! To those who have given but tittle attention In ihe subject, even in our own day, wilh all the aids of modern science, inn preoicuou oi nn ecnpse seems HufHeienlly mysti rioiis anil unintelligible. How, then, ii wa possible, thousands of yeara ago. to accomplish tho shine great object, without any just views of the structure of the system, seems utterly incredible. Follow me. flu n, while I attempt to reveal the tram of reasoning which led lo the prediction of the first eclipse of ihe ami, the most daring prophecy ev-r made by niunan genius, r-oimw in iniaL'ina'Mn litis bold iuterroga'or of the skies to his solitary mountain summit withdrawn Irom the world, surrounded by his mysterious circles there to watch nnd ponder through the long nig1 is of many, many years. But hope cheers him on, and smooths his rugged pathway. Dai k and deep aa is the problem, he sternly grapples with it, ai d resolves never tu give over till victory crowns his efforts. Ho haanlrendy remnrked that the moon's track iu the heavens crossed the sun's, and thnt this point of crossing was in aome way immediately connected with the Cuming of the dread eclipse. He determines to watch, and loam whether thu point of crossing was tixeil, or whether tne moon, in each successive revolu tion, crossed ihe sun's path at a different point. If the sun, lu his annual revolution, could leave behind him a track of fire, marking his journey among the stars, it la lotiud that Una an me track was lolluwed from v ear to year, and fiom century tn century, wiih undoviatihg precision. But it was soon discovered that it was tar difierent wilh the moon, lu case ihe, too, could leave behind hr a silver thread of light, sweep ing round the heaven, m completing one revolutinn, tins thread would not una, hut wind around among the stars, in each revolution crusting the sun s tier) track at a point west of the previous trolling. These polnlsnf cleaning wero called the moon s nodes. At each revolution the node occurred lurtner west, until utter a cycle ol about nineteen years, it had circulated iu tho same direction entirely around the echoic Long and patiently did the astronomer watch and wail each eclipse is duly observed, ami its attendant cir- urnstances are recorded, when nt last the darkness begins to give way, and a ray uf light breaks upon his mind. He huds lhat no eclipi-e ot Hie sun evor occurs, unless the new moon is in the act of crossing the aim's track. Here waa a grand discovery. He holds the key which ho believes will unlock the dread mystery, and now, with redoubled energy, he resolves tu ihrust it into itio wards and drive back the bolls. To predict an eclipse of ihe sun, he must sweep for ward from new moon tn new moon, umil he finds sorno new moon whith should occur while the moon was in the act of crossing from ouo tide to the other of the sun's tra k. This certainly whs invisible. He knew the exact period from new moon to new moon, aud fiom ens crossing of the ecliptic to another. With eager eyes he seizes the moon s places m the heavens, and her age, aud rapidly computes where she crosses ut her next change. He liud the new moon occurring lar (rem ilm sun s iracK. tie iooes around anoiuer revolution; llm place ol die new moon falls closer tn the sun's paili, aud iho next year closer, until, reach ing forward wiih piercing intellectual vigor, he at last huds a new moon which occurs precisely at ihe com puted timo ot iho pusiuge across ine sun's track. Here he makes his stand, and oil the day i f the occur rence of lhat new moon, he announces to the startled inhabitants ol Ihe world lhat ihe sun shall expire in lark eclipse. Iloiu prediction: Mysterious prophet With what scorn must the unthinking world have re ceived this solemn declaration. Hw slowly do the moons roll away, nnd with what intense anxiety do the ithilosonher await the coming of that duv which should cmwn him with victory, or dash him to ihe ground iu ruin oi in ill-grace I i ime, to turn, moves on leaden wings; day niter day, nnd, at hint, hour after hour roll heavily.

AMERICAN INGENUITY. An English paper publishes a series of lectures on American ingenuity, recently delivered in England by Captain McKinnou, of the British Navy. The following is an extract : "Ho thought there was something oricinnl in tha American mind, and that as far as invention went, they wero the first in the world. This was to be attributed to various causes, and they were more inve.itive lhan the English, for ihe following reasons: If a man in vented anything in this country, he was looked upon aa a projector, and his efforts did not meet with en couragement; but Ihere. if he invented anvthine. ever so little, ho was considered a great man, taken iu hand oy liuiueniiai men. and made a lortuno. lie knew several who hnd amassed larse sums, frnrn 1 nnil tn 20,000, He should like to see an Englishman do that fie would be laughed at if he expected it. (Applause.) The first invention he would sneak of. was one that amused him very much. He saw a large h'p which was coming lo Europe with wheat, and alongside was a very curious thing, like a mud-machine, and several bags mil of grain. He was very uiuim asiuiiisneu, ana went on uoaru io examine tho machine, which ho found to be a grain elevator, which was intended to pump the grain from the barges into the big ship. He at first luuglu-d at it, and thought it a Yankee invention and a fib, but when he got on board, ho found that it pumped the grain at such an awful pare, that it almost drowned him before he got up the hatchway. (Laughter and applause.) He toil nd it delivered 20,f)0 bushels per hour. 'SunDose.' said the speaker, pointing to the ceiling, ' (here was a great hole up there it would send tho grain at such an awful pace that we shouldn't nil get out, for we should be drowned, quite half of us (Great laughler.) ine next thing that struck him as an ingomons matter, was at Cincinnati, where the hogs killed in the western oiaies last year lor exportation, wore "4,008. There waa a man there who had discovered a method of making gas out of hog's Inrd. (Great laughter.) It neemed a tunny thing, hot it was a fact. The Mayor of M.lwaukie City, in Wiscnnsio, who woa a great friend of his, actually told him lhat he was rnnkrug a bargain with the man, to light the town with hog's lard. He certainly did nnt live thero long enough to see it hiinxell, but w us told it wus true, aud he believed (Utieers.) ' Another invention wns n sine paint, which ho de scribed as being uiont beautiful, and worth a trial bv all present. Another very ingenious thing he had witnessed at the patent olli'.e. in Washington. It wns pointed out io him by a gentleman, but he could not describe it. It had a largo handle to it, and he naked what it was, when ho was told it wns a sewing machine, (great laughter.) which could make seventeen pair of pantaloons a day; hut it was then out of order, and would not work, and h did not see it himself. He could not, therefore, vouch for its accuracy, but he believed it tn be true. " Another invention was mado bv a man who hnd a large dairy, containing tipwurds ol one hundred cows. Finding it very expensive to gel them milked, he sat his wits to work and inven'ed a milking machine. Wilh India-rubber, gilttn perch", and soringa. he milked them ull out, as dry as possible. (Much laughter.) The Captain amused his nudience by relating the ef- - lis ut i no miiKing macniiio upon cows, and declared hat the Down Enst Yankees were the most inventive ppople possible, nnd were monstrously clever fellows. They hail a good story there, w hich was too good to be lost, aud it was an B"'oninhiug matter. The Yan ee tin tdes, when not eating or sleeping, were still oiug something, aud this was what they were think ing about: The Yankee asserted that the baby was rolling its eyes round, and thinking how to improve mo iTniiie, i uncoinroitaoie laughter ) lie t It ought that waa sufficient of Yankee ingenuity for the present, hut he would give them more specimens by-aud-bye."

Ur a job and a newspaper, or either and a book-form, or two jobs entirely unlike in size and shape, may be printed at the same time. The Press now working takes a sheetSfi by 41 inch es, and is fed by Iwn men on the same cylinder, print- iog (tun ouuuers can mate; V,MM sheets on fro aides eveiy hour.

In the Justice's Court, iu this citv. a cnae was re cently decided in the most novel way. A coat was in dispute, and the evidence was direct and positive for no in claimants; tne parlies were Irish, and "lull of gift," ready to spend all they had than " give up beat." The afiair had been carefully examined, and ihe court was " iu a quandary," not knowing who had the best claim to the garment. However, a moment before his Honor was to sum up the evidence, Patrick Power, one of the claimants, made the following proposition for settling the affair. Said Patrick : 1 iniothy Mug in re, now ye say that coat belongs to yersetl intirelyt 1 say it is me own. Now mind ye, I imothy, the both iv is will lake the coat an look it ail overt the mau lhat finds his name ou H shall be the owner." Done," said Timothy. An' yo'll stick lo the bargain f " asked Patrick. To be sure," said Patrick, aa he passed ihe coat in to ihe hands of Timothy, who vainly searched every part of it for his name, and passed it back to Patrick hoHstmgiy saying, "And, now at na see If ye can be liud in' ihe likrs iv yer own name upon ihe garment." ie 11 stn:x to tho grnamrni," said Patrick, t-axerlv grasping ihe coa'. upon tne tiouor oi a man, was timothy s reply. " Then how Id on a bit," said Patrick, as he drew his knile and opened a comer in the cellar of his coat, ta king therelrom two very small peas, exclaiming as he held Ihem nut in his hand " There, d'ye see that 1 " " Yes ; but what iv that t " said Timothy. " A divil a dot it has to do wid it ; it is m t name in bo sure pea lor Patrick, and pea for Powers, beja-ben!"He got iho coa lie did. N. O, Delta. Avai.akchk at Stillwater. Minnesota.
