The Lchigh, Mammoth Vein, Locust Moun-

of the first class, and are acknowledged by
dealers to have no superiors. For furnaces
and all stoves with strong droughts. the Le-
high Goals cannot be surpassed, being hard,
enduring and very pure. For ordinary do-
mestic purposes, the Mammoth Vein,Locust
,Mountain and Council Ridge Goals, stand un-
rivalled; burning more freely than the Le-
high, making no clinker, and leaving less ash-
es and slate than most any kind of Coal known
in the market.
As to the Trevorton,wc can say to any
persons trying it,that if it does not answer

How the Cable was received under wa-
ter. '
BY 1‘. W. HIGGLYION.
A school of mackerel got dismissed
To ponder this new study ;
The alewives paused amid their drink
And thought their heads were muddy ;
The lobster turned, in sudden fears,
As red as when they’re boiled ;
And whales shed spermaceti tears
Till all the sea was oiled.
The frightened soles together came
In one substantial body ;
Each cod looked bluer than blue pills,
0r Warren’s Pillicoddy ; .
The great sea serpent wondering asked,
“ What’s all this stir and coil?”
The eels agiant brother knew,
And stopped to see him broil. '
The blackfish turned a little pale,
(As big as a ship’s jolly boat ;)
And trembled all, from head to tail,
The melancholy halibut ,,
The oysters got up from their beds,
With rather sleepy faces ;
The plaices flopped their startled fins,
And went to other places.
But when the first brief message went,
Through the wide watery bounds,
To dumfish straightway were transformed
The ocean’s tongues and sounds,
Till (while old bunkers of the deep
Were wondering and gulphing,)
Young swordfish sent by telegraph
A challenge to young sculpin.
And when they understood the thing
The watery fun grew better,
The seals desired t9 stamp themselves
On every passing letter ;
The grave white bears came swimming down
To inquire for Doctor Kane,
While the frightened herrings only asked,
What tidings from the Seine ?
MISCELLANY.
mWe have the following anecdote
of Capt Hudson of the Niagara, which
participated in the laying of the Atlantic
cable :
“ In 1818, William L. Hudson was a
lieutenant on board of the Ontario, the
first United States ship ever sent Out on
an exploring expedition. Just before she
sailed, one of the yards, found to be de-
fective, was sent dowu, and a new one
raised in its place under the superinten-
dence of Lieut. Hudson, who was station-
ed at the t0p. Before the yard was se-
cured, a green hand began to- cut the
rope that held it, and if he had made one
cut more the spar would have fallen up-
on some twenty men, who had been haul-
ing and were still holding on below.—
Seeing what had been done, Lient. Hud-
son jumped at and caught the two parts
of the half-severed rope, and held on un-
til the men had made the spur fast, but
by this time he was so exhausted that
he fell on his back into the top, and
was so sprained and bruised that he had
to be taken ashore and so lost his voy-
age.”

A DELICIOUS TEMPERANCE Tran—Who
would not live in almost any place where
the young ladies are addicted to the de-
licious custom which is set forth by an
exchange as follows : ,
“Quaker young ladies in the Maine
Law States, it is said, still continue to
kiss the lips of the young temperance
men, to see if they have been tampering
with liquor. Just imagine a beautiful
young girl approaching you, young tem-
perance man, with all the dignity of an
executive officer, and the innocence of a
dovc, with the charge—Mr. Ike P., the
ladies believe you are in the habit of tam-
pering with liquor, and they have appoint-
ed me to examine you according to our
established rules—are you willing? you
must acquiesce. She steps gently up to
you, lays her soft white arms around
your neck, dashes back her raven curls,
raises her sylph like form upon her tip-
toe, and with her angelic features lit up
with a smile as sweet as Heaven, places
her rich, rosy, pouty, sweet, sugar, molas-
ses, strawberry, honeysuckle, sunflower,
rosebud, nectar lips against yours, 9nd
bosses you by cracky l Hurrah ! for the
gals and the Maine Law, and death to
all opposition.
W
Nor TO BE OUTDONn—An Englishman
and a Yankee were recently disputing
when the former sueeringly replied : “ for-
tunately the Americans could go no fur-
ther than the Pacific shore.” The Yan-
kee scratched his prolific brain for an in-
stant, and triumphantly replied :-“ why
good gracious, t ey are already levelling
the Rocky Mour. ins and carting the
dirt out West. Only last week I had a
hundred miles West of the Pacific shore
on made land.” The Englishman caved.
w. A couple of idle fellows strolled
into the colored Church of: Hartford, a
few evenings since to enjoy the fun, but
when the minister rose ”up to preach
before announcing his text, he lean-
ed forward on the pulpit, and look-
ed slowly around on ’ his congrega-
tion.

PORNHY'S SPEECH.
At Tarrytown, the other day a meet-
ing was held for the purpose of renomina-
ting Mr. Haskin for Congress. Among
the speakers was John'W. Forney—to
whom, more than to any other man Mr.
Buchananowes his election. Col. F’s
speech is too long for our columns, and
we can make but brief extracts. He
shows what indeed was well enough
known before, that during the campaign
of 1856, Mr. Buchanan was pledged over
and over again to do justice to the peo-
ple of Kansas. Says Forney':
“ There is not a county in Pensylvania
in which my letters cannot be found al-
most by hundreds, pledging Mr. Buchan-
an, in his and by his authority, to the full,
complete, and practical recognition of
the rights of the people of Kansasto de-
cide upon their own affairs.” '
The whole battle, he says, was fought
on the principle of “ popular sovereignty.”
Without it, the State could not have
been carried. He says :
“ Why, gentlemen, Mr. Buchanan had
no cautionon the subject. He was pub-
lic—he was open—he was unreserved in
his declaration to everybody. He sent
to the friends of John’ Hickman, in- the
Westchester district of Pennsylvania, the
adjoining county,and he told him through
his agents and friends :——“ You, Mr.
Hickman, occupy a peculiar relation.—
You voted for the Topeka Constitution ;
you denounced the Kansas Nebraska
Bill ; you were Opposed to the repeal of
the Missouri Line. The Democratic par-
ty of our county have nominated you ;
the Republicans like you; they believe
in you; and I want you to take the
stump, and to go before that people and
pledge me—me, James Buchanan—that
I intend standing by, and, If necessary,
dying by, this principle of popular sov-
ereignty.” For myself, if I could descend
to, the baseness Of publishing private let-
ters, I could fill a volume with similar
authority. Why, gentlemen, when the
distinguished Secretary of the Treasury,
Mr. Cobb—who, after being a. superfine
Union man, has been converted to a fire-
caterequal to Monsieur Chaubert him-
. self—came to Pennsylvania and trav-
ersed Our State from end to end and
from county to county, talking to delight-
ed audiences all the time, what was the
text of his sermons? Popular Sovereign-
ty. “ Why,” said he “ I would take
the army and the navy, and every power
of the Federal Government, and sur-
round the Territory. but that the people
of Kansas should vote, and by their vote
the destinies of the Territory and the new
State should be decided.”
Forney next refers to the President’s
Inaugural Address, and the instructions
given to Gov. Walker as being satisfac-~
tory to the great mass of people—as car-
rying out the pledges previously made.
“ Therefore it was when his inaugural
address was published, the people said to
one another, “ I believe in Mr. Buchan-
an,” and many declared they were sorry
they had not voted for him. They were
~willing to trust him and to stand by him
to the end. , He had before him a future
'which Washington himself might have on-
vied. He had a future, if he had chosen
to walk resolutely in the track marked
out by his inaugural—the track illumina-
ted by bis pledges and principles—by
which he could have gone down to his
grave amid the prayers and acclamations
of a grateful people. Posterity would
have pointed to his memory as an invoca-
tion and an example. Pennsylvania
would have no cause to be ashamed of
her favorite son. ,(Applause.) No, no,
my fellow countrymen. But he did not
stop here. As if for the purpose of ac-
cumulating pledge upon pledge—as if for
the purpose of piling the pyramid of prom-
ises on this question, what did he do next.
He looked around to see whom he could
get to go to Kansas for the purpose of
settling the vexed question. Kansas in-
deed had been, as it has been called, the
graveyard of governors. He sought for
no inferior man. He was not to be tempt-
ed by ordinary material. But he select-
ed a gentleman who had been presented
by a large proportion of the Southern
people and statesmen for a position in his
Cabinet. He selected a gentleman who
had been for twelve years a Southern rep-
resentative in the Senate of the United
States—a gentleman who had been his
companion in the Cabinet of James K.
Polk. He selected Mr. Robert J. Walk-
er. .
He proceeds to give an account of the
proceedings in reference to Walker’s ap-
pointmcnt.
When he called upon Mr. Walker and
asked him to proceed to the_ Territory
Mr. Walker said to him, “ Why, Mr.
Buchanan, that would finish me forever,
it has ruined every man who has gone
there, it will ruin me. I have reached
that time. of life when I cannot afford to
risk all my prospects, and probably the
peace and happiness of my family.” And
he said further, as if gifted with a knowl-
edge of the future, “ I cannot run the
risk of being most probably betrayed and
deserted by the Administration that ap-
points me.” Mr. Buchanan said to him,
" Mr. Walker, if you go there, you will
settlc‘this question in a few weeks. Ev-
erything is ready, here are your instruc-
tions. I pledge my word that everything
you desire you shall have.” Mr. Walk-
er, as if inspired by a sublime suspicion,
said ; “ Mr. Buchanan, I will not go to
Kansas until you allow me to meet your
'Cabinet face to face, and ascertain from
that Cabinet in‘ person, whether they
will agree that I shall go there and car-
ry out the pledges of the campaign of
1856.” Accordingly a meeting. of .the
Cabinet of Mr. Buchanan was called.
At that meeting every member of the
Cabinet was present. Mr. Buchanan
and Mr. Walker were present, Mr. Bu-
chanan in the chair. Gov. Walker said
4—“ I have desired this meeting because
’I have determined not to go to' Kau-
sas unless I have full instructions to
carry out those principles and~those pled-
ges ,' if there is any opposing voice I
will not go ; I do not desire to go; it
is by no means an enviable position ; but
if I have the permission and consent of
' you, gentlemen, for this I have asked,
I will go.” The Cabinet was polled, but
one member of the Cabinet objected to
the programme laid down by Gov. Walk-
er I need not mention his name. Gov.
Walker said, “ That settles the question,
gentlemen, I do not wish to go, a single
negative is sufficient, and I will retire
from the field.” But they took that
member into another room, and there
they convinced him that Gov. Walker
was right. They returned and gave
Walker his instructions. He went to
Kansas with his instructions in his pock-
et, and accompanied by a man well-known
to the country, Mr. Stauuton, who went
out with simili ll' pledges.”
In 1857 I started the newspaper which
now bears my name at its mast-head.—
.And I did this for the purpose of advoca-
ting Mr. Buchanan’s policy throughout.
I had, as I have said, abundant pledges
as to his course upon this question of
Kansas“ But before I published that
paper, suspecting probably something
would take place, I concluded to take
care to have myself strengthened. And
I wrote to the most of his Cabinet and
told them upon what ground I intended
to stand in regard to this question of
Kansas. They were so good as to send
me enough written testimony to strength-
en me in the position I had taken. I
went on with Walker and Stanton.—
When the Oxford and McGee frauds
took place, when there was a universal
burst of indignation throughout the
country, when the whole Democratic par-
ty applauded Walker for rejecting these
fraudulent returns, suddenly there was a
silence and a pail over the columns of
the Washington Union.
Nothing was said upon the subject of
Oxford and McGee frauds, no word giv-
en in support of Walker and Stanton —-
I suppose some malign influence had for
the moment surrounded that journal—-
that it had an attack of peculiar insanity
which has really become chronic with it
and I allowed it to pass by. But when
the dark and damning deed at Lecomp-
ton was perpetrated, then I saw, for the
first time, that these gallant men, Walk-
er and Stanton, these men who stood
with me—I say that I and the whole
Democratic press of the country had
been carried along with the administra-
tion, and were called upon to desert our
pledges and betray our own manhood.—
When the cup was presented to my lips.
I refused. [Continued applause and
cheers]
Administrations may change ; Presi-
dents may changc, but I had been too
fully and personally committed upon this
subject to go back to Pennsylvania and
turn my back on the pledges which I had .
both spoken and written. But I did not
for a moment believe that the Adminis-
tration, though concluding to abandon
the position upon which it had come into
power had resolved to make that a test. I
went to Washington. When I got there,
I said to Mr. Buchanan, “for the first
time in our lives we are at variance ; hav-
ing followod you thus far, I now find my-
self deserted.” “Well,” said he, “can-
not you change too ’2” (Laughton) “ If
I can afford to change, chnnot you afiord
to change too ’2” (Renewed laughter.)—
“ If you,r1)ouglas and Walker will unite
in support Of my policy, you will not hear
a. whimper of this thing, it will pass by as
the summer breeze.” I said to him, we
differ; very well; with an administra-
tion suroundcd by office seekers, living
all the time in an atmosphere Of flattery,
followed by thousands of men who expect
offices, and who say to you, “ you are
right, Mr. Buchanan, we are down upon
our bellies in the dust, pleasefto walk
over us, and trample us, and we will be
content and happy ; you may believe that
your policy is right. But I tell you, Mr.
Buchanan, that there is a small still voice
in the hearts of the people, that instinct-
ively rejects and abhors fraud—and this
is fraud and dishonor. I don’t claim to
be more honest than other men ; I have
done many things which may not square
exactly with the rules of religion and
right, and which I regret having done ;
but this thing I will not do. I have
now reached the years of manhood, and
I will not go back to Pennsylvania and
eat my own words and become the slave
of power.”
Oh, gentlemen, the chapter which shall
tell the manner in which this administra-
tion has used its patronage will be a black
one. And when our children’s children
come to read, they will not believe that an
American Citizen, elevated to the Presi-
dential Chair, in the face of such a peo-
ple, covered with an armor of pledges,
should have gone into‘that chair, should
have used his army and the Treasury,
your money and mine, your officers and
mine, for the purpose of crushing a gul-
lant band of men for standing by the
plain God’s truth. (Cheers and ap
plause.) I would that when that histo-
rian comes to write that chapter in the
history of this country and Goverment,
he should not feel compelled to write that
that President was born in Pennsylvania.
No, gentlemen, there has not been an el-
ement, a single circumstaiice lacking to
relieve this unredeemed infamy ; no, not.

FIGHTING OTHER PEOPLE’S BATTLES.— -
There are many people who seem to think
that editors regard it as as one of the
greatest intellectual luxuries to “ pitch in-
to” somebody, 'and they suppose them-
selves to have conferred a great favor by
furnishing belligerent contributions, in
which some person, corporation or society
is soundly abused. Such people may take
a hint from the following :
A noted chap one stepped into the sanc-
editor, and indulged in a tirade ugainsta
citizen with whom he was on bad terms.
“ I wish,” said be, addressing the man
with the pen, “ that you would write a
very severe article against R——.——, and
put it in your paper.” “ Very well,” was
the reply. After some more conversa-
tion, the visitor went away. The next
morning he came rushing into the oflice,
in a violent state of excitement. “ What
did you put in your paper? I have .had
my nose pulled ; and been kicked thce.”
" I write a severe article, as you dcsu—
ed,” calmly replied the editor, “. and sign-
ed your name to it.”

A Strange but True Story.
We have heard nothing stranger than
the story we are about to relate. When
Thomas Galloway was twenty-four years
Of age. he married a lady of about the
same age, in a village way down in the
State of Vermont. This lady had a.
daughter Mary by her first husband, who
at the time of her second marriage, was
two years of ago. Just one year after
Galloway’s marriage, his wife died. Lit-
tlc Mary was sent to live with a family
named Plunkett, in a neighboring village,
and Galloway left upon a. whaling expe-
dition. He cruised and wandered from
place to place, and finally settled in Dear-
bcrn county, Indiana, twenty years hav-
ing elapsed since the death of his wife.—
He afterwards thought of visiting his
old home in Vermont, but he had heard
from good report that his only brother
John had left the place soon after he had
taken his departure, and that little Mary
had grown up to womanhood, married and
emigrated, he could not ascertain where.
Having no other ties 'of affection to draw
him to the place, he scarcely ever gave it
a passing thought.
Shortly after settling in his new Indi-
ana home, he became acquainted with a.
young widow, and notwithstanding the
disparity in their ages, married her. Some
three Weeks after his marriage, he discov-
ered by his wife’s account of her early life,
that she was no other than his own step
child Mary. She had married five years
before, and her husband,James Lacklan,
met with a violent death in clearing, two
years afterwards. ‘
About three years after Galloway’s sec-
ond marriage, he happened one day to be
in Lawrenceburg, on the Ohio River, six
miles from his residence, when a man by
the name of Galloway was drowned off a
a steamer at the wharf. The body was
recovered in Galloway’s presence, and
from the appearance of the features and
corresponding name, he began to enter-
tain a vague idea that. it might be his ou-
ly brother, John. Information gained
from the captain of the boat strengthened P
the suspicion he had formed, and ascer-
taining that the unfortunate man had a
family in this vicinity, and at the time of
his death was on his way to the west to
enter land, Galloway resolved to return
with the captain and find out the truth.
He did so, and found his suspicion cor-
rect. His brother had left a tract of land,
a large family of children, for the most
part girls, and a wife in ill health. After
consulting with his deceased brother’s wife,
he concluded to take charge of the farm.
Accordingly he went to Indiana, sold his
effects there, and in company with his
young wife returned, and has been living
within six miles of this city for a length
of time now going on ten years. This
story is literally true, with the exception
of the names. ~Verily, truth is stranger
than fiction.

Fxcrs or PROGRESS—To those who
now surround the family fireside, when
the curtains are snugly drawn, and cold
winds whistle along the walls and win-
dows, it must be interesting to know that
at one time our ancestors lived in houses
formed only of one room having a fire in
the centre of the floor, around which
they used to lounge or sit, and spread
for bedding at night the skins they wore
for garments by day. The roof formed
a cone, which answered the double pur-
pose of a chimney and window, through
this large orifice, the rain and snow
fell, driving down large flakes of soot, and
the wind moaned like the solemn voice of
a troubled spirit, lamenting the ignorance
of mankind. At a later period, and af-
ter the invention of glass, that article
was deemed such a luxury that noble fam-
ilies when leaving their residence for the
country season had the window panes
removed and carefully packed in straw
for security. Glass was notthcn such as
we have now, it was tinged with a sickly
color, was uneven in surface, and full of
specks and, imperfections. Pewter, from
which working men now quafi‘ their pints
of old porter, was such a luxury that no-
blemcn used to hire it for banquets from
brokers, as they now sometimes hire sil-
ver and gold—Philip’s .History of Pro-
gress.
