1 UAVF. NO  MOTHER NOW.
Ihearthceoft wind sighing,
Through every  bush and tree,.
Where now dear mother's lying
Away from love aud me.
Tears from mine eyes are starling,
And sorrow shades my brow ;
Ob. weary was our  parting—
I have no mother now.
I pee the pale moon shining
On mother's white headstone.
The rose bush round us   twining,
Is here—like me—alone ;
And jusl like me are weeping
These dew  drops from the bough,
Long time  has she been sleeping—
I have uo  mother now.
My heart is  ever  lonely,
My life is  drear and s;id j
'Twas her dear   presence only
That made   my spirit glad.
Fiom   morning until even,
Care rests  upon my brow:
She's gone trom me to heaven—
I have no mother now.
Wines of tnllfornla-
No 0!ie acquainted with the soil and climate of
California can doubt lhat It is lo that State we are to
look for lhe wines lhat are to make us forget Bor-
deux, •Rheims. Epcrnay, Tokay and Oporto. The
main features of the western slope are Asiatic, and
the products of the vines, even now in infancy of
the business, are far beyond anything ever seeu
east of tho mountains. Crapes, like the black Hani-
burg and the Malaga (reared herein hothouses
great cost) grow there in tbe open air, having- all
the exquisite flavor and perfume whieh has made
them so famous. And wbithin a few years commissioners from the State Government have visited
the principal wine districts of Europe, and have
brought cuttings from all the rare vines, together
with such information as they could glean relating
tothe manufacture aud care of the priceless crop.
Some species may not take kindly to the strange
Boil ; others will doublcss gain even new virtues by
being transplanted, We shall not probably get a
Chateau Mnrgaux, nor a Romance Contl, nor a
White Hermitage ; it wiil be a now result, like the
individuality ofa new race of men; and when science and skill have been exhausted in the preparation of lhe juices, we shall have a new nomenclature, and the ranches with tbeir pretty Spanish
names may sound as sweetly in the cars of the future
connoisseur as do Rousillon or Amontillado now.
The Commissioner for California estimates that in
IS60 there were six million of vines in the State, of
which nearly one third were in Los Angeles county;
and he believes the product ofthese vines iu 1862,
will reach five million gallons. How many varieties
of grapes suitable for wine making are now grown
we are not able to say, but al ready we have a dozen
kinds of white wine, each bearing some resemblance
to well known European vintages, but still having a
character and flavor its own. The "White Wine,"
[ior which no one has yet invented a name] might
have been grown upon the Rhine, and if the bottle
were decked with the picture of some crumbling
old enstie, might pass for the gen ine Teutonic article, worthy of a name four or five syllables long.
"Angelica" is dedicated to maidens and tender matrons, to tbe invalid and the aged, for palates that
enjoy a luscious sweetness without an undue exhil-
eration. Very quaint in its flavor ; something one
cannot describe on paper, any more than be could
give an idea of one of shades of mauve. "Port" is
enough like its name sake to suggest the title.—
Others alter their kinds are produced iu California
and will soon supplant foreign wines. We trust
that patient skill and careful experiment will develop this new branch of industry, fire and sweetness of our new Orient—that East beyond the EaH
Who is Stuart 1
General J. K. B. Stuart is tho son of the late Archibald Stuart, for several years a member of the
House of Representatives of the United States from
the district which then embraced the county of
Patrick, in Virginia, where, we believe, he was
born. At a very early age he gave token of a
quick and active mind. His father died ten or
twelve years ago.   His mother yet lives.
James E. B.Stuart entered the Military Academy
of West Point in-the year 1850. Among his contemporaries at that institution were Ambrose P.
Hill, Henry Heth, George II. Stuart, T.H.Holmes,
Beverly II. Robertson, and N. George Evans, Setb
M. Barton, Alfred Cumming aud Thomas S- Rhett,
of the Rebel army, and Burnside, Viele, Wilcox,
i Cogswell, and others of greater or less repute in
| the Union army. Among his immediate classmates
! were Colonels John Pegram, Geo. W. Custis Lee
(and John B. Villepigne, now well known in the
-Rebel service, nnd Major Grehle of the Union nr~
(tillery, who was killed in the first battle of the war
at Great Bethel. In the Union army, tbe highest
rank attained by Stuart was that of First Lieutenant ; but this was in lhe First cavalry, a regiment
noted for its officers, of which General Sumner was
Colonel aud Major General Joseph E. Johnson, of
the rebel army, Lieutenant Colonel.
There are doubtless on the file in the pigeonholes of the War Department, at Washingtoi
Why should we wish to bid farewell
To those kind friends around us,
Who by affection's mystic spell
Unto their hearts hath bound us?
There's solemn sadness in the word
Where'er it may be spoken ;
Deep grief within the soul is stirred
And happiness oft broken.
Why should we wish to bid farewell
To earth,s bright scenes of gladness,?
Though ench succeeding day should tell
Some tale of grief or sadness*!
Amid the daily walks of life
We all have scenes of sorrow,
But though to-day life's sky is dark,
It may be bright to-morrow.
Why should we wish to bid farewell
To those who stand beside us,
When fortune's waves recede from view,
And enemies deride us?
Propitious gales may blow anew,
To cheer our drooping spirits;
There's always a reward in store
For those oi modest merits.

• cial reports of many encounters with thc savage,
„ recording in a curt, dry, cold manner enterprises
which, in the glowing narrative of a Walter Scott
or an Alexandre Dumas, would vie in interest with
the stories of chivalry. One ofthese only, ii
which Lieutenant Stuart bore a part, has been re
corded in our newspapers ; but the account is as
■short and unsatisfactory as possible. On the 20th
July. 1857, at a time when we wero absorbed with
the Atlantic telegraph aud other exciting matters
of the ''piping times of peace," Col. Sumner encountered a force of three hundred braves of
the Cheyenne tribe strongly posted upon Solomon's Foik of tho Kansas river, and, after a
sharp struggle, put them to flight in great disorder. In this combat Lieut. Stuart was severely
wounded,  i
At the outbreak ef the present war Lieut. Stuart
resigned his commission and offered his sword to
the cause of the Soulh. It is unnecessary to refer
:o his exploits since that time. They have been
aid before the public, With his rapid rise from a
colonelcy to the command of a brigade, and soon
after to Ihe rank ofa Major General of cavalry,
our renders are familiar, Perhaps the most stnk-
ng and successful of all his expeditious, were the
Pamunkey raid through McClellan's lines, in which
the rebel Captain Lafane was lost, aod the recent
descent upon Catlett's Station, where he gathered
up the official correspondence and full dress uniform coat of Gen. Pope, As a cavalry officer, Gen.
Stuart combines with his regular West Point training much of the clan of Johu Morgan and Turner
Ashby. Ready for any enterprise, his military
motto seems to be tbat of the French leader—
" De Vaudace encore de. Vaudace encore de Vaudace, lanjours de Vaudace"—and his raid Inlo
Pennsylvania seems to have surpassed his previous
acts of audacity.
In the old army Stuart was universally known
under the nickname of " Beauty Stuart," as re-
flectiug upon his personal appearance. The lower
part of his face is overflowed by a torrent of reddish brown beard ; but, according to rebel authority, his eye is bright nnd mobile,his movements are
full of grace, his address is pleasing, his port lofty,
and his horsemanship perfect.

The Monitors Perhaps a Failure.
It will he recollected that Congress, previous to
adjournment, appropriated more than ten millious
ot dollars towards building a large number of iron
clad vessels, similar in construction to the Monitor. It appears they are not as invulnerable as
the Government would have us believe. At least,
the following, from one of the most successful ship
builders at the East -seems to hint that way :
Donald McKay, the well known American shipbuilder, bas just returned from a visit to England
and France, where he personally inspected the
iron clad fleets now building in those count
In a letter describing them he doubts the propriety
ofour building so many vessels of th* Monitor
pattern, as he evidently regards them as inferior to
the large vessels building abroad for offensive purposes. Their lowness in the water, and interior
speed would, he thinks, put them at the mercy of
tlie huge rams, tor   such they   are,  that  compose
Richmond. It wae said that one of Stuart's objects in the Pamunkey expedition was to take hi?
father-in-law prisoner.
Escape of John Morgan
The Louisville Journal, of October 23d, contains
the following :
John Morgan, witb his command, made a narrow
escape from Elizabelhtowr. on Tuesday mornin
Gen. Boyle had in formation of his presence at Eli—
znbethtown, and immediately ordered Col. Day, of
Illinois, with a force ef 1,200 men, to proceed to
Elizabeth town by railroad to make the capture.—
Ths remainder of the story has been related by
Major Compton, of New Albany, to the Ledger,
Major Compton accompanied Col. Day in thc capacity ofa volunteer guide—Colonel D. being una-
quaintod with the topography ofthe country. At
Muldraugh's Hill to the astonishment of all, the
whistle ofthe locomotive sounded, andthe train,
with a brilliant head-light burning, stopped upon the
the European fleets.   The Ironsides, aod the great   toP of the hi"» where the ^^ could be plainly seen'

Items from North Carolina.—The Washington
(N. O.) correspondent of the Philadelohia Press,
under date of October 8th, says :
Gov. Vance who has been proclaimed by all conservative men in this locality as a strong Uuion
man, has avowed his Union proclivities by asserting in his message that North Carolina must rid
herself of the invader, if it costs the life of ail her
soldiers. Men whom 1 asked previous to his election as to his conservatism, now openly proclaim
that they knew when they voted for him that he
'Southern man," meaning a rebel of the
darkest dye.
The recent conscription act compels every man
between the ages of 15 aod 50 years, able to do
military dufy. to bear arms. The rebel army being so much decimated by disease and the casualties of battle, they are compelled to adopt this new-
conscription act. By conscripting between the
ages specified they will be able to bring into the
field an additional force of 300,000. They are
erting their utmost iu thia State, as well as all the
States in rebellion, to bring in their last man.
Substitutes IS Pennsylvania.—It appears the
price of substitutes for the drafted militia ranges in
Ilarrisburg at from $160 to $200. It is Baid to be no
difficulty in obtaining substitutes where the person
in want o( such relief is able to pay liberally. Tbe
Harrisburg Telegraph relates the following incident:
Among all those connected with Cornwall Furnace the only man drafted was the proprietor, Mr.
Robert Coleman. Not being able to go himself, he
assembled his workmen and asked whether any of
them would be willing to go in lieu of himself, providing he was liberally paid. After Borne hesitation
one of tho men present inormed Mr. Coleman that
ha was willing to go as a substitute. The mau was
closely questioned and fully Jmformed of the danger
to whicli he subjected himself, but he frankly de
clared that he was willing to go on whi.h Mr. Coleman presented him with a check for $3,000, and i
guaranteed further that,in the absence of the substitute,!^ family was to receive a sum each week equal
to that which be earnad as a laborer. In addition
to this sum, Mr. Coleman stipulated to pay to the
wife ofthe man thus acting as a substitute the sum
of $3,000 in case he should he killed in battle or
die by any ol the diseases incident to tbe camp.
to Elizabcthlown, and the arrival of the troop;
certainly known. Major C. suggested to Colonel D.
the propriety of covering the head-light with blankets, and of moving the train with the 'cast possible
noise. He also suggested that the forces at once
disembark, and be divided in such a manner as to
approach and surronnd Morgan's camp and take
him by surprise. Being a civilian, of course "shoulder straps" paid no attention to his suggestion.—
Tho result was  that Morgan got away.
Previous to tho arrival of the prisoners, Morgan
had robbed the Pcst-offi.ee, and the mail bags and
a large amount of mai! matter lay scattered about
Morgan's room. .Morgan told Major C. that he had
made a good haul of green backs" out ot that little
operation
After being closely questioned, the prisoners were
put under guard in Morgan's room, where they remained till the celebrated thief left the town. Mot
gan, says Major Compton, wae greatly alarmed lest
he should be captured. In questioning Major Comp*
ton, hia voice trembled, and he betrayed every evidence of alarm lest a large Federal force was pursu.
g and would  surprise him.
He spoke of Dumont'e pursuit of him, and the reported fights at Lawrenceburg and Versailles as the
richest jokes of the season. He"says that Dumor.t'
troops threw a few shells at some eight or ten of his
r-traggier-s, but that no one   was hurt.
About three o'clock on the morning of Tuesday,
a few companies of Colonel Day's command entered
A Curious Provision.—A
Frohling, of Los Aageles, died lately. His will was
filed for probate, iu this city, yesterday. Anion****-
the items is one directing that $5,000 shall be given
to the son ofhis brother, now in Prussia, proving
that at the age of 15 years he shall obtain from his
teachers a certificate that he excelled his brothers
in good conduct and scholarship—the money to be
paid on the boy's coming to California, where he
must reside for, at least, two years.
Eliznbethtown. But unfortunately all of Morgan's
man named John j men had left by this time, wilb the exception of twen
ty-five. These boldly dashed through our lines and
escaped, wilh only one wounded and two or three
taken  prisoners.
Major Compton finally, at the suggestion of Col
Day, accompanied by another civilian, started
ont to reconnoitre Morgan's situation. They had
proceeded but a short distance when both were captured, aud, each mooted behind a cavalryman, were
soon in Elizabethtown, where they were at once
conducted to Morgan's presence.
A Terrible Tragedy.—A letter from Gallipo
to the Cincinnati Commercial, mentions the death
of Major Phelps, 5th Virginia, at the hands of Ma
jor Dayton, of the 4th Virginia, on the L7th October, near Millersport, Ohio. Major Phelpi, by
forging a license, procured some one to marry bin:
toa sister of Major Dayton—not being able Ic
suceeed in his designs upon the lady without mar
rying her. He being a married man could not le
gaily marry her, and consequently took this plan
to accomplish his ends. He carried her away fi
home, and no one knows where she uow is. M;
Dayton was informed by a letter from hie father
aud became almost crazed. He learned of Major
Phelps being in Gallipolis, aod came here, but th
Major had started for Ceredo. Major Dayton foi
lowed on, overtaking him near Millersport, and
shot him, four ballstakiug effect. Major Phelps
lived a few hours, and, before dying, acknowledged
that he had been served right. The mock marriage between Major Phelps and Miss Dayton occurred near New Creek, Va. Major Dayton haa
not been arrested by either the civil or military
authorities.
Owen's River Indians.—These Indians were,
the 18th of October, the recipients of a fine lot of
presents from Superintendent V\ entworth, of the
Southern District of California. They consisted of
blankets calicoes, plaids, stripes, coats, pants, shoes,
beans, rice, etc., etc. These goods were very timely, and will, no doubt, have a tendency to keep the
Indiana quiet until Congress can be induced to
make apropwriations sufficient to meet the pressing
wants of the Indians of that, valley. Itis often
cheaper to feed than to fight Indians. Had Congress made the appropriation asked for by the California Superintendents last Winter the war with
those Indians would have been averted, and its
cost, something over two bundred thousand dollars
saved.— Virginia  City   Union.

The little lane—the  greenwood  lane—
Where Mary dwelt, was gay with singing ;
For brook and bird, iu ninny a strain,
Lown vale nnd moor their notes were flinging;
But Mary's heart was  deaf to song,
No longer  she her tears could smother,
For she had   learnt—at last—twas wrong
To say one thing, and mean another!
' Tis right—'tis due, when hearts are true,
To show that  heart  without deceiving,
And not to  speak, in idle  freak.
To try if one's the power Oi grieving !
In Mary's heart,  and Mary's mind,
She  loved one youth—and loved no otlier;
Hut  Mary's tongue  whs oft   inclin'd
To say one thing, and mean another!
Would all might see how sweet 'twould be
If truth alone their  words directed—
IIow  many a day might then be gay,
That paeseth   now in tears, dejected ;
Would al! might learn, and all discern.
That truth koeps longest, friend or brother F—
Then, maids, be kind,   and epeak your mind,
Nor say one thing and mean another 1
Jolin <J . J-n rent on L at St. Louis.
Geu. Fremont made a " big talk11 to bis friend?
and sympalhisers at St. Louis, a short time since,
iu which he reviewed the conduct of the Government toward him, and made himself out a very
badly used individual. His reason for visiting the
city, he eaid, was to be present at the trial of Gen.
McKinstry, whom he called his " friend, a true
Boldier aud a good nnd loyal citizen." The gist of
his speech is a defence of his proceedings during
the " hundred days in the West;" he attributes
the enmity of the Secretary of War tothe fact that
be (Fremont) had been too active in conducting
the campaigu!—giving tongue on this point as
follows:
" But it was not lhat we had disappointed some
high-wrought expectations of the Secretary. It
was not because we had failed in a soldier's duty,
or suffered at the hands of the enemy, inglorious
defeat, lhat we incurred ministerial displeasure.—
It was because, in our uncalculating eagerness, we
were too hasty in striking that euemy a vital blow.
Like Ihe Trojan, whose spear i-igainst the trencher,
ous horse made the clang of arms resound, and
whom the angry goddess puuished for the blow
upon Iter sacred properly, so, too, did we undergo
sudden punishment lor devotion to our country,
(Loud cheers.) Upou me, too, as in tbe old story,
were the s-erpeuts set. They wound around me
their loathsome coils—they strained me with their
foul embrace—Ihey breathed on me their [pestilent
breath—tliey lacerated me with their veuomous
fangs—hut a greater thau Pallas rules the coolest,
and the power to destroy was uot equal to lhe will.
I lived through the unclean struggle. I came hack
to you a second time and you receive me with the
same old regard, the same warm welcome as here-
toiore, nu mailer how often struck down aud rudely thrown hack upon you, the friendly contact restores strength, nod I rise again lull of confidence
and hope, and ready again for another effort to
Berva yovt."
What's the News!—New York, Ohio, New Jer-
Bey, and many other of fhe eastern and western
States have elected the ticket of the Old Democra-
There has been indeed an upheaving of the
masses, an overlhrow of the party which lor the
—- last bloody years has ruled the destiny of thiB
great young Republic. This change wiil arrest the
carnage and induce thinking. What does all this
carnage amount to ? There is nothing decided hy
it: and there will he nothing decided by it ; oDe
peacelul sign, one forgiving word, from our Chief
to bis Southern brethren, would he more conducive to uuion, thau a million of hall cartridges.—
The people now, and not the politicians, will speak
Aye, sir, and speak with a force and authority'
that swindling quartermasters and contractors
shall hear and feel. Tbe United States is not after
all doomed to perish iu our day. God he praised!

The Soutlii-rrn Cliaincier.
We clip the following from the address of tbe
Rev. Dr. Bellows, delivered before the Unitarian
Convention at Brooklyn, New York, Oct. 15th :
" No candid mind will deny the peculiar charm
of Soulhern young men at college, or Southern
young women in society. How far race and cli*
male, independent of servile institutions, may have
produced the Southern chivalric spirit and manners I will not here consider; But one might as
wtell deny the pmall feet and hand* of that people
as deny a certain in-bred habit of command ; a
contempt of life iu defence of honor or class; a
talent lor political life, and au easy control of inferiors. Nor is tliis merely an external nnd fhisby
heroism. It is real. It showed itself in Congress
early and always by the courage, eloquence, skill
and success with which it controled majorities. It
showed itself in the social life of Washington hy
the grace, fascination and ease, the free aud charming hospitality by which it governed society. It
now shows itself iu England and France by the
success with whieh it manages the courts and the
circles of literature und fashion in both couutries.
It shows itself in this war in the orders aud proclamations of its geuerals, in the messages of the
rebel Cougiess, aud in the essential good breeding
and humanity (.contrary toa diligently encour-
aged public impression) with wbich it not seldom
divides its medical stores, and gives rur sick and
wouuded as favorable care as it is atile to extend
to its own. It exceeds us at this moment in the
possession of an ambulance corps.
*■ I think lhe war must have increased the respect
felt by the North lor the South. Its miraculous
resources, the bravery of its troops, their patieuce
under hardships, their unshrinking firmness iu the
desperate position tbey have assumed, the wonderful Buccess with which tbey have extemporized
manufactures aud munitions of war, and kept themselves in relation with the world in spite of our
magnificent blockade ; the elasticity with which
they have risen from defeat, and the courage they
have shown iu threatening again aud again our
capital, aud even our iuterior, cannot fail to extort
au unwilling aduiiratiou and respect. Well is
General McClellan reported to have said Qmvati
ly) as he watched their onslie-iU. ligiitii-v at Ai;ti-
elam, aud saw them retiring in perfect order in
the midst of the most frightful carnage : '■ What
terrific neighbors these would he! We must con
quer them, or ihey wiil conquer us."
" The war, then, must have shown us that we
underrate the power, tbe charm, the advantage of
a slave-civilization. No base, cowardly, idle.
worthless people could lutvo waged wnr ns the
South has done. It is necessary to concede this to
put ourselves iu any proper altitude to estimate
the nature of this war or the way out of it. Li my
judgment, no virtue, no graces or charms, no exalted gifts or qualities of a governing class compensate in auy degree lor lhe luck of essential
equality or for the violation of fundamental principles of political ethics and tiicial morality. The
South bas a political aud moral falsehood, a
social aud economical curse, a spiritual cancer nl
the very heart of her liie. lier chavins are hectic,
her vigor is inflammation. Cieopaira drinking
pearls with an asp iu her bosom is nol a more fated
beauty; but no one cau deny the interest of the
doomed creature.
"Whatever, then, is good or spirited, intellectual
or moral, at the South, her religious teachers, ber
high toued women, her innocent children, quite as
much as what is bad, selfish and ambitious, is
pledged to the war, is living in the rebellion. It
It nec-H-ssary to know and couiess it. It shows us
equally what slavery can do and has done to change
its supporters into its own likeness ; it accounts
for the complete absence of any Uniou sentiment;
it enables us to understand the untiring resolution
nnd determination of the people in carrying on
the war. Thi re never was a people animated by
greater sacrifices to demonstrate their sincerity
aud achieve their purposes."

Olsgrauefnl Cottoti SBeouIattona of Army Offi-
A letter from the Helena (Ark.) correspondent
of the New York Tribune, contains the following.
The same has been raid substantially in the letterB
of several other correspondents since the acquisition of that^lace :
" One of the Bailees of tlie want of discipline, energy and military spirit In the Army of the Southwest is lhe mania for cotton speculation-, whieh
has seized upou lhe officers ol this army, from the
generals down Io the quartermasters and lieutenants of the service. Besida these, there are many
civilians at Helena eiisraged in these speculations.
Cotton that is worth $250 a bale in St. Louis, is
either taken from the owners without compensation, or at from tiS to $50 a bale for one hundred
miles above and below Helena. Steamboats, under Government contract, ate sent on expeditions
iu search of cotton, with a military force, provided
with wagons for hauling it, but all the cotton obtained goes to enrich the oflicers or speculators,
anil very little, if auy of it, is placed to the credit
of the Government. Such is the statement of intelligent men, themselves engaged in the business.
The Boldiers are sometimes killed nnd wounded in
these expeditions, and are beginning to complaiu
of being used for such a purpose, instead of subduing the rebels to the authority of the Government. If they believed the cotton went to tbe
benefit of the Governmeut they would not object.
"Much of the cotton obtained in this way is
shipped by officers for their own benefit, and quartermasters furnish teams and transportation for
much that they are personally interested in, for
which they bave received a private consideration.
Occasionally some innocent purchaser is pounced
upon by military authority, and his cotton seized
and confiscated, because he had uot complied with
some unknown military order, and the cottou is
shipped off. ostensibly in the name of the Government, though it ia very much doubted whether the
Government receives one cent of the proceeds. It
would be well worth while tbat all investigation
should be made iuto these transactions, and the
amount ofall the colton taken ou the river ascertained, aud how much ol it haB been placed to thc
account of the Government, which has, at great
cost, opened the Mississippi river, and is now,
through its officers, furnishing these facilities for
private speculation, without receiving a particle
ol benefit from it.
"Theforegoing statements are intended tobe
general, and are based upou the representations of
intelligent and trustworthy persons known to the
writer. It is uot meant that there are uot some
honorable exceptions amoug commanders of regiments and their subordinate officers. Oue such I
kuow, who is neither a cottou speculator, a drunkard, nor an adulterer, and whose merits ought to
have secured his promotion lo a brigadier-generalship long ago ; but he ie not one of the *_el(-seeking kind of men, and the Government ab Washington may never know the true worth and superior ability of one who would gladly serve it with,
his heart's blood.
" I may add it aa a belief, in ihis city, that Gen,
Curtis has borne a share in these cottou speculations, which makes his late promotion and assignment to the command of this department so unpopular among our citizens and creates a general
desire lor his removal." *
An Ex-rRAOitDtrvA-KT Tueoky.—A foreign journal,
in an article against the puuish ment of death, publishes the following curious details: 'When at
the end of the last century, the terrible machine of
Dr. Gullotiu made its appearance, it gave rise to
great controversy among the faculty throughout
Europe. The inventor pretended aud believed
that death by his instrument was eaBier than by
any other means, and lhat the rupture of the vertebra, the nerves and all the organs of the head,
killed the whole body at ouce aod instantaneously. Several experiments were made at Vienna.—
Some prisoners were to be executed, aud several
medical meu who bad already disputed (hw theory
of Dr. Gullotiu, obtained permission to remain on
tbe scaffold during the execution, wheu ahead was
delivered to them. The first was that of a young
man. The eyes were closed, and the tongue protruded. Eight minutes were allowed to expire,
when the tongue was pricked with a pin, when it
was drawn in, and the face made a grimace, indicative of pain. The second was tbat of a woman.—
The eyes were opea and their supplicating looks
accompanied by mauy tears. Fourteen minutes
after the execution the eyes turned toward lhe
side from whence the woman's name was called,—
A third head was that of the most guilty of tbe
criminals. A slap was giveu to tbe face, when the
eyes opened, the face flushed with au indescribable
expressiou ol anger und (erocity, and a shudder of
anguish was visible ou the neck being touched."
Revolution vs Priktikq.—A correspondent of
the Sacramento Union, writing from New York,
recently, says :
Permit me to mako mention ofa new machine
which is destined to work a complete revolution
in newppaperdom. The semi weekly Tribune of
the iid of October wafl printed from au endless
sheet, on a "machine invented by Wm. Bullock,
of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and constructed at the
works of S. S. FowU-r &, Co., ftten of Pitttbiirg.—
The introduction ol stereotyping on daily newspaper forms paved the way lor this uew press, as
ibe making of the first printer's roller led tothe
great triumph known as Hoe's Lightning Press.—
Four pages are cast on a cylinder of ebout afoot
iu diameter ; four other pages orthe " other side,"
on another like cylinder; a large blanket drum
three feet in diameter; two distributing cylinders;
two sets ol rollers ; an immense roll cf paper; a
knife which cuts the sheets wben printed—and you
have the machine enlire, Oiling a space of about
ten by fifteen feet. Oue man ouly is required to
run the press, even when on ils highest speed—
15,000 sheet? an hour printed on both " sides."—
It Is to cost $16,000—just one half the price ol the
great Hoe machine. Iu these days of tithing, the
sum saved is quite an item.
