" "You will not accompany me ?" said my friend; to which I replied in the neg aiife. s " ", "Perhaps the gentleman would assist in cutting the rope," said the ceronnaut in French, which, singnlajly enough, I understood at that moment, though I never before or since ventured th exhibit my knowledge.

Craig oa Emancipation. Tne" following report of the remarks of Gen. James Craig of this city, at tne Krookfield Union meeting, we find in the Chilicothe Constitution of the 13ih inst Votees or Liss Coo.ttt: I have listened with a great deal of attention to the insU uctions you have this day given your Delegate to the biate Convention. He asked you to put oif the emancipa tion of -slavery for twelve years. You voted, no. You have punched him with a iiharp stick. You told hun, Go and vote for Immediate Emancipation. 'He told yoii that he was elected by you J that he came here to consult your wisnes, ana that he would go to Jefferson City and vot as you told him. ',- I bet he will do it, . And if he don't, I tell you he will hare the nightmare. I am a slave hold er myself, but I shall not prefer my own to my "country's good. The niggers I o'-vn I will offer up oil the altar of my country as cheerfully as I sit down .to eat my dinner. Slavery is. doomed. The fiat has gone forth. You cannot save it.' Salt would not save it. Make then a. virtue of necessity, and says, 'Let it slide !' You have heard r a great deal said about Southern bravery in this war. Il is true, the Southern' men fight brave lyi and he would deny it, must shut his eyes to facts of - history. But I tell you that seven millions of Southern men can not conquor eighteen millions of men from the Western, Middle and East&rn States. The war would" have an end, and that very 60on. if the people were only waked up to the magnitude of the undertaking. Make the issue fairly to the American people. Put the fiag-etaff in the hands (I will say) of the weakest girl in this crowd, and I tell you that millionsof American people will rise up for tne honor and vindication of that flag, more namerou3 lhan the myriads who foil ow ed Peter the Hermit to the rescue of the Sepulchre of our hjly Redeemer. The rebellion will be put down, and the glory of the country will return. I have been to the great Canal Convention in Chica go, fiom which I am now reluming, and 1 venture to say, that five years from to day,' ships laden at St. Louis, Hannibal ?nd Quincy, will pass through these wi dened canals to the ocean. Let us not then despair of our country. Our pros pects are bright and encouraging. Let us put down this rebellion, not exactly to free the negro, but to have a free coun- 1 try for your sons and mine to give them a chance to become the Douglasses and other such men who by the help of free in.stitutions, have risen to greatness. "And whatever cornea in the way of this train of cars, T say, let it be run over." -St. Joj'h Herald. - , . . . Tlie Firth Cavalry in St. Joseph. Probably St. Joseph has never seen a more stormy day , thn yesterday since Boyd and" Cundiff. were here pludering Union men. The streets were filled with the boys of the 5th cavalry, and such a general rowing from one end of town to the other wa3 never heard of before. First, a Kansas refugee named Gers ham Gilham, was met by one party of his luyal Kansas neighbors. ' The lie passed between them, when the rebel struck Kansian, and the ball opened. ,The crowd chased Gilham to his house, which he entered in hot haste, and crawling into a bed beside hi3 sick wife, fondly expect ed immunity at their hands. But he mis judged their temper. They rushed in at the doors, piled ' in at the windows, hauled out their trophy, marched him iato town and beat hira severely. The guard interfered and took the rebel to the guard house. In tne chase .we are informed that the crowd rushed into Mr. Smith's stable, and that he undertook to prevent violence. After drubing Gilham they set upon Mr. Smith and beat him unmercifully. " Soon after, a little son of Capt. Dol man was accosted by a citizen in the vi cinity of Frederick Avenue, and asked if he was with the crowd of soldiers that beal Gilham. He replied affirmatively for he like every other boy in town, in nocently ran into the crowd to see what was up. The citiben drew his revolver, at;d swearing that he would have revenge fited six shots at the boy, one ball enter ing his arm. That mm had better keep out of ilie way of Penick's men. They then went up to E. Burns' Live ry Stable, and beat him terribly. Next they got after a fellow named Rogers, on 4tb street, fired several shots at him. and chased him into the Provost Marshal's office. They then took after Crane a Kansian, bu. the Doctor is a trifle the longest geared institution in this country, and he outran the boys of this conserva tive reniment. We understand that they are on the lookout for a late member of the State Convention, who will probably keep at a respectful distance. Ve have not space to recount ail the rows of yes terday. One thing is evident. Rebels are not to lire here in peace with the boys of the 5th Cavalry., They know what they are regarded by the rebels as outlaws. When ever one of them is captured by guerrillas death is his oertain portion. They have seen their comrads brought into camp with their ears and noses cut off, their heads blown to atoms by the ignition of powder poured in their ears, and their todies pierced with fifty bullets and I hundred sabre cuts, all inflicted by guer aillas. The 5th Cavalry are somewhat radical. SL'Josrph Herald.

Ac cording to 'lhis corresipoudent no more desperate fighting ever took place any nhere and there were incidents he s:iys: "conecteJ with this colored regi ment which have raised them very much in my estimation as soldiers; after firing ooe volley ihey did not deign to load aeain, but went in with bayonets, and wherever they had a chance it was all up vith the rebels ; they went in on the, ad vance, and when they came out, six out of nine hundred men could not be acount ed for.

The intense and refined fiendiahnss of the treatment that Union men at the Souih receive from their rebel enemies, is un sjrpassed in atiy story f barbarous ages. At Little Rock, Arkansas, lived a numer ojs body of Uuion men, praying for a s:ght of the old flag and a dty of de liver- ence, as none ever prayed save the men of Leyden. 'Thjy met nightly in cellars had their secret grips and pass-worns and "with all the heroism of martyrs, bore suspicion, taunt, thnjati, and violence. unflinching in their resolution never to en ter the rebel ranks alive. When Hind- man occupied Little Reck in force, twenty seven ot tne men wer arrested am. mi- . i - . prisoned on suspicion their worst enemy accusing them of an orer act against the rebel governrint" ;' j; . One day th'-ir wives, children, parents, brothers and sisters, ware invited by Hind man's order t. come and visit them. Their dungeon doors were opened, and arm in arm with their rejoicing families they were suffered to wander under guard about the town and in the fields. The bright sunlight and sweet air of this un- wonted .ireeuom intoxicateu mem into credulity. . They and the dear ones from whom they had been so long sundered, were felicitating thenvielves with the hope cf permanent liberty, ! and fancied that the tiger Hindman had forgottou his taste for blood. Just at the limits of the town ihe officer in command bade the families of the suspected hault and marching those twenty-seven brave men out ol the very arms of love, ranged them into an open lot before affile of riflemen, and there shot all of them to death in plain sight of their rhriekiiig households. Ges. Meagher's Testimony. Gen. Meagher was tender; the hospitalities of the city of New York tho other day, and presented with the Kearny cross. In the course of his remarks, responding to the Mayor, General Meagher said: Some sencus pledges, however, are at this moment expected here, and in refer ence to the hope which fell from you, Mr. Mayor, ,' speaking in the name of the Common' t Council of New York, I can assure you, "with that loyalty not in the least abai.ed by my temporary separ ation from what was once the Irish brig ade, I shall throw myself into thi3 con flict that has been brought near to "our very doors. -Applause. I shall do so in any capicity - in which 1 may be useful, either to the.j authorities of this city, or to the nation! and in( which I'can prove most available. -Applause. Here lei me say that ,1 irust that from this hour, at all events there shall be no supplica cations for peace, since "these supplica tions have flung open ihe gates, and in vited the enemy to cross the Potomac.- Applause. This is not a moment to mince word?, certainly not for the one who has been accuuomed to utter but words of command, and to see those words promptly and punctually, and liter ally obeyed.,, I for one con not but re gard any odd who utters " peace", from this moment on, as a confirmed and branded traitor. Applause. The Richmond Despatch of the 21ts contains the;. following: "Dispatch rec eived yesterday from Savannah an nounce the capture by the'enemy of ihe Confederate iron-clad steamer Atlanta, formerly tho- Erglbh steamer Fingal, and was commanded by Captain Webb. The Atlanta steamed out of the harbor and was attacked and captured after an action of thirty minutes by two Federal iron-clad. ' . . i.. - .,.-. . , When Rabelais was on his death-bed a consultation of physicians was called "Dear gentljmen," said the wit to the doctors, raising his languid head, "let rne die a naiural death. A Boston man Las invented a new pocket that lie calls "thief-proof.' Our people need some change in their peck- Invisible sa'jslances. If a piece of silver be put into nitric acid, a clear and colorless liquid, it is rap idly dissolved, and vanishes from the sight. The solution of silver may be mixed with water, and to appearance no effect whatever is produced; thus, in a pail of water, we dissolve and render in visible more than ten pounds worth of silver, not a particle of which can be seen. Not only sliver, lead and iron, but every other metal can be treated in the same way with similar results. W"hen charcoal is burned, when candles are burned, when paper is burned, these sub stances disappear and become invisible. In fact every material which is vi.-ible, can, ly certain treatment, be renJered invisible. Matter which in one condition i3 . perfectly opaque, and will not admt the least ray of Jight to pass through it, will in another form become quite trani parent. The cause of this wonderful ef fect cf the condition of matter 13 utterly inext-iicatie. Innosopners do not even broach theories upon the subject, much less do they endeavor to exjlam tt. The substances dissolved in water or burned in the air are not, however, destroyed or lost : by certain weIIkuown means, they can be recovered, and again be' rendered visible ; some in exactly the same state can be shown in their elementary condi tion, and thus it can be proved," that mat ter having once existed never ceases to exist,. although it can change itst condi tion like the caterpillar, which becomes a chrysalis and then a gorgoeus butterfly. If a pailful of the solution of silver ba cast into ihe stream, it is apparently lost by its dispersion into the water; but it nevertheless continues to exist. So w hen a bushel cf charcoal is burned in a stove, it disappears in consequence of the gas productd being mixed with the vast at mophere ; but yet the "charcoal is still in ihe air. On the brightest and sun niest day, when every object can be dis tinctlv seen above the horizon, hundreds of tons of charcoal in an invisible condi tion pervade ihe air. Glass is a beautiful illustration of the transparency of a com pound, which in truth is nothing but a mixture of the rust of- three metals. This power of matter to change its con ditions from solid opacity to limpid trans parency, causes some rather puzzling phenomena. Substances increase 'in weight without any apparent cause; for instance, a plant goes on increasing in weight a hundrod fold for every atom that is missing from the earih in which il is growing. Now the simple explanation txf this is. that the leaves of Dlants have ihepower of withdrawing the invisible charcoal from the atmosphere, and re storing it to its visible slate in srme shape or other."" The lung? of annuals and a smokeless furnace change matter from its visible to its invisible state. The gHl3 of fi.-hes end the leaves cf plants reverse this operation, rendering invisi ble or gaseous matters visible. Thusthe balance in nature is maintained, although the continual change has been going on long prior to the creation of the "extinc animals." -Wool Grower. The Charleston Blockade Effective. The Boston Journal publishes an extract of a letter from the squadron off Charleston, which shows that our sailors are thoroughly awake to their duty, and are making blockade run ning a hazardous business : "Perhaps it may be gratifying" to know what the squadron off Charles- ton have done in the pa3t month, and may serve to convince many who doubt tho efficiency of the blockade, that it has done a good tvork. Du ring the month four vessels attemping to run out have been captured, three steamers sunk, and two turned back. One of the prizes was taken by the Powhatan, one by the Flag, and two by .the Canandiigua. One steamer was sunk by the liousatonic, one by the- .Yi33ahickon, and , one by the Stettin, which-also; tamed back two that had already crossed the bar, and as the Gen. Havelock, one dark night ,n past her, shot away her smoke stack, killing three men and wound- ing two more, and, as tne coutnern papers say, materially injuring her." Chances for a Laugh.

Oa. hearing a clergyman remark, "The world is full of change," Mrs. Partington said she could; hardly bring her mind to believe it, so little found its way into her . pocket. A physician, once in company with others' of the cloth, thus boasted : "I was the firat to discover the Asiatic cholera, and communicate it to the pub lic. Mrs. Partington desires to know why the captain of a. vessel can't keep a mem orandum of the weight of his anchor, in stead of weighing it everytime he leaves port.
