A Lightning Rod Mn in a Fix At
Cincinnati, thenther day, Mr. T. Kingston,
who puts up lightning rods, climbed lo
the top of tho spire nf Si, Paul's Cathedral,
I wo hundred and thirty five feel, where,
baviiui left his ladder below, be clung by
his arms and legs, fattened the last foul of
tlm roil, and attached its point quit a
heavy piece nf metal securely, as he sup
posed, to ihe cross surmounting the stee
ple. He had just completed ihii difficult
and daiijmroiis task, watched by a number
of persons in the street below, and while
looking at the work and experiencing that
satisfaction which results frr-.-n liszard
passed and labor accomplUhed, of a sud
den, soineiliitig heavy struck him and intde
his bruin reel until he could hardly see.
Instead of loosing bit hold at once at would
have been the natural and inevitable result,
he clung with a power beyond himself and
a will superior to his own, closer and in
stinctively lo the spire. He knew not
what had occurred, and to his confused
senses it oppeared that the steeple was tum
bling ; or that snmit at range cause was
about io bring the vast structute lo
ilm j; round.
Smite forty seconds an age to Iiitn
niusl have elap-ed bi fore he sufficiently
collected bio scattered thoughts and sub
veiled con-cioiMiess to know that the en
tile upper pti't of llie rod had fallen over
his head, causing the blond lo Irickle over
his forehead and neiuly blinded him. He
mhh in a dreadful perplexity and most dan
geinus pn-diion. He feared, if he moved,
he would jio cleaving the air In a terrible
dea'h upon the tioiiy street b low, and at
tlm name time he knew he could not, in the
disordered state of his nerves, and his in-crea-ino
weak lies, retain his grasp, more
ihe result of fate lliau teeling, much lun
ger. If he stir'etl he might full ; if lie re
mained he tferainly would; and so, du
terni'ii'd to iiuike at least an effort for his
life, he pot one f-sit very cautiously, then
his arms, and then moved the other foot;
and Hfu-r half a minute of exertion and ilm
greater danger, he touched I In- topmost
inuiidoflhe ladder and in a few seconds
more was inside nf ihe steeple, and safe,
1'lmn it was that Mr. K ' great courage
and strenutb forsook him ; his nerves and
muscles relaxed; ha grew sick unto death;
his knees jnve ay I his vi.-ion swam, and
ho suhk upnc the platform tnutionlesi and
iiiaeiisiblo. He must huve lain there half
im hour before hn could rise and walk, and
be did not recover from I ho shock for more
t ban a fortbiglil afterward.
The people gazing up at him from the
street describe tlm ncelie its painTd! and ex.
ci'ing in ilm extreme. When ihey ob
served the rod fall, a thrill of horror ran
through llnir henna, and two women
swooned aay; for they expected lo aee
him dashed lo pieces.
Nkw Postage Regulations. Il it an
noiinced by ihe Po-tmaster General thai
the British rate of postage npon letters
dispatched from or broi.ght to any pari of
the United Kingdom by a private ship,
whether steamer or tailing vessel, had been
reduced to a uniform rate of 0 pence (12
cents) the half ounce. All Utters thereto,
mailed in the United Slates, and transmit
ted lo Great Britain for conveyance thence
hy private ship to any British colony or
foreign country beyond the sea must be
prepaid 'J3 cents, lha single rate of half

ty Seoalor Bruderick iu concluding hi
speech on Lecnmptoo, laid "be hoped lhat

Ths Voica or Miasooit. The St. Lonia

The Louisville Journal, in ihe course of
n article aboiil the disunion cry in tome
parts of llie South, inaket llie folluaing
sensible remaiks, which embody Ihe opin
ion of a good many people about ibis time :
"When any portion of ilm ppopln shall
attempt to dissolve ihe Union, we desire, for
tlm country a sake, that Ihey shall have the
slightest possible pretext for h attempt.
ami heaven kimws tliey can never have a
flimsier nr more wretched pretext than the
rejection ol ihe Lecompton constitution bv
Conurese. There is not in all ilm South a
man of common sense and common infor
mation who does nut kuow in his heart and
iu his brain that the Lecnmplnn constitu
tion is the creature of fraud, lhat il Is ob
noxious lo more than foiir-fif lit of the
people UMn wlmm the Administration it
seeking to force it, and that i's acceptance,
far from benefiting llie South, would at
once auiioienl the t'reesoil strength in boh
hnuset of Congress, I liege facts are pal
pable lo all men who have either eyes or
brains in iheir brails, ami therefore it is
lhat we desire tlm great issue of union or
disunion lo be made lipnn tlm Lecompton
coiistjiui:nii, if il is to be made at all. If
the bond of the confederacy can be broken
upon such an issue, ihey must assuredly be
as rnilen as roies of sand.
" We have for some years ptsl strnnilv
inclined lo the belief lhat Henry Clay, the
widest and greatest of statesmen, commit
ted ono most unfortunate error in ihe
course of his long and pal rio'ic and plorioua
lire. It was iu bringing nlsiut, hy his
ureal influence in Cuiiirres, a modification
of the tariff, in order to prevent a collision
between thn Jackson administration ami
ihe South Carolina niillifiers or rebels.
Soti'h Carolina had taken her stand. Gen.
Jackson at lha head of ihu U. S. Govern
ment had laken his. If llie great Ken
luckv statesman had not interposed, the
collision would have come. And no nue
can doubt what the remit would have been.
The rebellion would have been crushed at
once, and the work would have been done
so thoroughly that no o'ht-r rebellion
would ever have reared Us " miscreated
front" in nur day and generation. The
spirit of disuninn would have been buried
hell-deep, llut the impuiijiy with which
tlm traitors were allowed to escape on thai
occasion has encotiriifreil and einboMened
other traitors, and perhaps a great exum-
pie ia needed. If so, II can never, as we
have said, come ol better lime than Ibis
or under circumstances more favorable to
the riyht. We rejoice iu the thought that
the patriot uf tlm South will rve abun
dantly able lo do iheir own good work
withoul relying at all iiimn the (teneral
Government. We are well aware lhat
such a n liance, with President Buchanan
at the head nf affairs, would bo very
miserable one."
Thk Voluntkkk Hill. Mr. Quitman's
Volunteer Bill, which hat passed the
House by the emphatic vote of 121 lo 73,
piovidet for calling into service uf one
regiment of Mounted Volunteers for the
defense of the Texas Irnniier; and, for tbe
purpose of quelling disturbances in Utah,
protecting emigrant trains, and surpress.
iim Indian hostilities on tlm Northern nnd
Northwestern frontier, the President is au
thorized lo receive any number of volun
teers nut exceeding four regiments, to be
organized into mounted regiments or in
fantry, at the President may direct. The
volunteers ire not to be received iu less
than ono regiment. This bill will prob
ably pass the Senate. It it not very ac
ceptable to ilm Administration.
Forkio.i Nkws. There are some indi
cations of a rupture between France and
England, and some European correspond
ents of American journals express a strong
conviction that such an event will occur.
If so, il must bit from deliberate design nn
the part of the French Emperor, and for
ihe purpose, wUhnut doubt, of strengthen
ihg himself at home, now that the npiril of
rebellion ia evidently so rife in France.
An outbreak occurred at Chalons, on the
Oth ult, under the rallying cry ot''Viee la
Rtpubtigue." It wat uon suppressed,
however, by the military, and fifteen of th"
